Family grieves child’s death Former Authorities say drowning of 2-year-old is ‘tragic accident’ BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com
Charles Ashbaugh fought tears after every word Tuesday as he opened a wooden door that leads to the backyard pool where his 2year-old grandson was found Monday night. Ashbaugh pulled Draven from the family pool about 8:30 p.m. at his home at 285 Leisure Lane. The pool had been installed just three weeks before. The toddler lived with his father and grandparents at their home near High Rock Lake. The boy’s father, AshCharles baugh Jr., was not at home Monday evening. “He was my DRAVEN everything,” said Charles Ashbaugh Jr. “There are so many things I can say about him. “I called him my little treasure,” the boy’s father said. “I could have lived in a cardboard box and still have been the richest man in the world with him.” According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, the boy often played with other children who live in the home after dinner each day, but he was not with the other children when Charles Ashbaugh Sr. went to find the child Monday evening. The elder Ashbaugh searched for the boy. When he found him in the pool, he pulled him out and began CPR. Emergency services continued attempts to revive the child as they took him to Rowan Regional Medical Center. The child was pronounced dead just before 9:30 p.m. The pool had a small five-step ladder that had to be climbed to enter. Rowan County Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. John Sifford said no charges are expect-

ed. “At this time, it appears it was a tragic accident,” Sifford said. On March 15, 2010, another child in Rowan County drowned after wandering from home. Police found 16-month-old Logan Rabon in High Rock Lake after his mother, Meagan Rabon, called 911 dispatch to report him missing. CPR attempts at the family’s
home and at Rowan Regional Medical Center were unsuccessful. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10 people die each day from unintentional drowning. Drowning is the sixth-leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages, and the secondleading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14.
Draven Ashbaugh’s father had a word of caution Tuesday for parents with swimming pools. “People just don’t know how serious a pool accident really is,” he said. “I just want other people to pay attention if you have a pool, it can happen so quickly. The next thing you know you’re holding your dead son’s hand in the hospital.”
Shooting victim identified in police report BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — An 18-year-old has been identified by Salisbury Police as the victim of Saturday night’s shooting in the 400 block of Lee Street. But investigators are still trying to figure out who fired the shots that hit him. According to a Salisbury Police report, William Shaquille Burch was taken to Rowan Regional
Spencer mayor indicted
Medical Center for a gunshot wound to the leg. He was treated and released. Burch was hit by gunfire from a black SUV that traveled south on Lee Street toward East Innes Street at about 11:20 p.m., police said. Two 18-year-olds were arrested Saturday night as they ran away from the scene. Maurice Jacobs and D’Carlos Jordan were two of the nearly 200 people standing outside the Black Box Theater
after a party got out of hand. Police said they were about to use tear gas to disperse the crowd at about 11:40 p.m. when shots were fired from the black SUV. Police are still investigating if shots were fired back at the SUV. Jacobs, of 2345 Statesville Blvd., and Jordan, of 322 Heilig Ave., reportedly ran away after the gunshots, according to the report. They were both charged with resisting, obstructing and delaying an officer.
Jacobs was issued a $1,000 secured bond. Jacobs was previously arrested for assaulting an officer or state employee in 2009 and shoplifting in 2010. Jordan was previously arrested for possession of marijuana earlier this year and Burch was charged with assault inflicting serious injury in 2009. Police ask that anyone with information about the incident Saturday should call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.
SALISBURY — Former Spencer Mayor Alicia Bean has been indicted on six embezzlement charges by a grand jury. SBI spokeswoman Noelle Talley said Bean was indicted on allegations related to money missing from the Spencer Jaycees organization, where Bean was treasurer from 2006-09. The SBI opened the investigation into the missing money in 2009. The Spencer Police De- BEAN partment and the Rowan County District Attorney’s office asked the SBI to look into the allegations. The amount is less than $10,000, Talley said. Court records showing details about the indictment were unavailable Tuesday. Former Jaycees President Kevin Hall said Tuesday club members are glad to see court action being taken. “We are just happy that something finally came about,” Hall said. Hall said the financial problems came to light after a fire. “We had a fire and there were issues around that. It brought up a red flag,” he said. The Jaycees clubhouse burned in early March 2009. The cause is undetermined. The building was empty at the time. “We were getting everything from her to go to the next treasurer. She was saying the books were in there and another time that she had it,” Hall said. When the building burned, officials with the organization began digging around and realized “there was some stuff that we didn’t spent money on,” he said. Hall would not discuss how the money was spent. “I hope she gets what she deserves for stealing from a nonprofit,” Hall said. Bean was also involved in an armed standoff with police in May 2009. Bean held authorities at bay with an assault rifle for nearly an hour. The gun was not loaded. Officers initially responded to a threat of suicide attempt. In September, Bean attempted suicide while a psychiatric patient at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Bean referred comments to her attorney James Davis. Davis does not comment on pending cases, his office said. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704797-4253.
Tick check: Outdoor fun brings threats from insect bites BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post
So far this year, no cases of tickborne illness in Rowan County have been reported . However, given that summer means a lot of people will be enjoying the outdoors in North Carolina, a run-in with a tick remains an annual threat. Ticks carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis in North Carolina — diseases easily treated with antibiotics but left untreated can cause serious illness and even death, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

According to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, the last known cases of Lyme disease in Rowan County were in 2003, when two cases were reported. The last breakdown by county in North Carolina shows 20 cases reported in a 5-year period. In 2009, two people were reported to have Lyme disease in Wake County, as well as one case each in Wilkes, Wilson, Pitt, and Carteret counties. “In North Carolina, there is a reportable diseases registry that each health department uses to log in information about any communicable disToday’s forecast 94º/70º Chance of storms
eases that are reported to us from doctors offices, clients that come to the health department and from hospitals,” said Sharon Owen, nursing director at the Rowan County Health Department. “Depending on whether it’s something that needs further investigation, treatment or follow-up, the (communicable diseases) nurse either follows up directly with the family or talks with the physician who reported it. We just work with all providers in the community to ensure that any reportable communicable diseases are gathered and reported as required by state law,” she said.

the most cases in the nation on average. Caused by the American dog tick, symptoms include sudden fever, headache and muscle pain. Later, abdominal pain and vomiting are also common symptoms. Following initial symptoms, patients often report the development of a rash. Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Symptoms usually begin within 2-14 days of a tick bite. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is best treated with doxycycline and is most effective if started within five days of symptoms

first presenting. State Epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies said in 2009 that the most recognizable sign of Lyme disease is a red or purplish skin lesion — not always present in patients. The lesion may grow over time and often has a “bull’s eye” appearance in the center. Other symptoms include fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches. Lyme disease is caused by the bite of black legged ticks. Since 2002, more than 20,000 cases of the disease have been reported in the United States.

ton, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she timed her death so she could deliver the message of comity when it was so badly needed,” she said as former President George W. Bush, a Republican, sat in the audience next to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Democrat. Sitting in the same pew with them were first lady Michelle Obama, former first lady Nancy Reagan and Carter. Other mourners who packed the church included former California first lady Maria Shriver and Ford’s four children. Bush, accompanied by former first lady Nancy Reagan, arrived just a few minutes ahead of Michelle Obama and the others. The former president, wearing a dark suit, blue tie and white shirt, chatted quietly with Reagan as they waited for the services to begin. He greeted Clinton as she took a seat next to him. “It’s very nice to see you getting together after the fact, but we wish some of you would get together beforehand,” Roberts said of those in the audience. Other invited guests included President Richard Nixon’s daughters, Tricia
The best prevention of tickborne illness is personal care. Recommendations include using an insect repellent containing 20-30 percent DEET — do not apply to children under 2 months old. Wearing light-colored clothing will make spotting ticks easier, and tucking long pants into socks will help keep ticks off your skin. Always check your skin and scalp, as well as other areas of your body, after spending time outside. Remove any ticks found on your body, as ticks attached to your skin for only a few hours are less likely to transmit illness. To remove a tick that has bitten you, grasp the tick mouthparts as close to the skin as possible with tweezers. Pull the tick out with steady pres-
Arrest warrants say Kruisenga embezzled 31 lottery ticket packs worth $11,400 that belonged to the convenience store. The warrants say the alleged thefts occurred between May 30 and June 24 while Kruisenga worked at the store, and that she tried to claim $8,400 by cashing in 286 tickets. Lexington police Lt. Robby Rummage said Kruisenga took the lottery tickets to several local stores.
fever, headache, malaise, muscle aches and joint pain. Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, confusion and rash. Symptoms usually show up within two weeks. If untreated, as many as half of all patients require hospitalization, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services. The disease can be fatal and is first treated with doxycycline. Joanie Morris is a freelance reporter for the Salisbury Post. She can be reached at 704-7974248 or news@salisbury post.com sure — do not yank. Wash the bite area with soap and water, dry and apply a topical antiseptic. Place the tick in a Ziplock bag until you are sure no symptoms will occur. The Centers for Disease Control recommends marking the area where the tick was removed and the date on the calendar. During the next several weeks, be on the lookout for tell-tell symptoms of tick-borne illnesses. Other preventive measures include keeping grass mowed; removing leaf, brush and weed litter from around your home; and using deer resistant plants to deter deer from your yard. Check your pets for ticks after any time outside and check with your pet’s veterinarian for methods for preventing pets from tick bites.
Nixon-Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower; President Lyndon Johnson’s daughters, Lucie Baines Johnson and Lynda Bird Johnson Robb; and Robb’s husband, former U.S. Sen. Charles Robb. Following the funeral, members of the public were invited to file past the casket and sign a guest book until midnight. On Wednesday, Ford’s body will be flown to Grand Rapids, Mich., where another church service will feature remarks by Lynne Cheney, wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and historian Richard Norton Smith. Former first lady Barbara Bush was expected to attend that event. Later Thursday, her body will be interred at the presidential museum along with her husband on what would have been Gerald Ford’s 98th birthday. Ford, the accidental first lady, was thrust into the White House when Nixon resigned as president on Aug. 9, 1974, and her husband, then vice president, assumed the nation’s highest office. Although she always said she never expected nor wanted to be first lady, she quickly embraced the role.
When Roberts’ father, Democratic Congressman Hale Boggs, was the House majority leader and Ford’s husband was the House minority leader, Roberts recalled, they could argue about issues but get together as friends afterward. Their families became close, as did the Ford and Carter families, despite Jimmy Carter defeating Ford in the 1976 presidential election. On Tuesday, California Highway Patrol motorcycles and squad cars escorted Ford’s hearse and her family members to the service in four black sedans and six SUVS. The hearse pulled up to the church’s side entrance, and the casket was carried inside, followed by about two dozen mourners, including family members. Other mourners arrived later by the busload, after the family was given private time inside the church. Family Barbara spokeswoman Lewandrowski said family members had also gathered over the weekend to reflect on Ford’s life. “They are reading emails and telling stories, enjoying each other’s fellowship,” she said.

Residents of the surrounding neighborhood reacted swiftly and negatively to the proposed location in a former Kroger store after learning of the plan through flyers distributed anonymously last month. Cary town spokeswoman Susan Moran said GSA officials had approached the city planning staff months ago for clarification on whether the site was properly zoned for government office buildings. “The answer was: yes, it is zoned for government offices,” Moran said. “But they failed to explain the type of government offices they wanted in there.” Moran said town officials also learned of details of the proposal from the flyer and by then the GSA was “at the very end of the site selection process.” A public meeting for neighbors scheduled for Thursday night may be convened instead as part of the Cary Town Council meeting, Moran said. “The GSA is still offering to come to Cary and talk to folks,” Moran said. Officials say the lease on an existing 15,000-squarefoot immigration center in a Cary office park will be up in 2012. Reddy said he expects the next round of site selection for the center’s replacement will be more transparent than the first. Neighbors near the former supermarket site had said they were worried for their own and their children’s safety, as well as about the immigration center’s potential impact on property values. In the past three weeks, the group set up a website, made visits to collect video showing the view into surrounding yards, and convinced federal officials to come to Cary for the public meeting. ICE was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and enforcement elements of the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
PALM DESERT, Calif. (AP) — First ladies, past and present, and others who called the White House home remembered Betty Ford on Tuesday, not just for her decades-long work against substance abuse but for her contributions to a political era when friendship among lawmakers helped them govern. Speakers, including former first lady Roslynn Carter and journalist Cokie Roberts, also hailed her as a force of nature whose boundless energy and enthusiasm, coupled with a steadfast determination to do what was right, pushed the country toward a commitment to equal rights for women and other causes. Ford, who died at the age of 93 on Friday, reshaped the role of first lady with her plain-spoken candidness. She helped bring such previously taboo subjects as breast cancer into the public discussion as she openly discussed her own battle with the disease. She was equally candid about her struggles with drug and alcohol abuse, and her spearheading of the creation of the Betty Ford Center to treat those diseases has benefited thousands. “Millions of women are in her debt today and she was never afraid to speak the truth even about the most sensitive subjects, including her own struggle with alcohol and pain killers,” Carter said. “She got some criticism, but I thought she was wonderful and her honesty gave to others every single day.” Behind the scenes she was also aggressive and effective, said Roberts, who noted that Ford’s late husband, President Gerald R. Ford, confided to her privately that his wife badgered him relentlessly into stronger public support of equal rights for women. The former first lady mapped out plans for her funeral well in advance, including who would deliver her eulogies, and Roberts said she told her to be sure to let people know that politics does not have to acrimonious. “Mrs. Ford wanted me to remind everyone of the way things used to be in Washing-

RALEIGH (AP) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement won’t be opening a planned center in suburban Cary to investigate immigrants suspected of breaking laws and threatening national security, its proposed location drawing angry protests from townsfolk over fears for property values and public safety. Following the uproar, including opposition from a U.S. congressman, the General Services Administration announced Tuesday it would scrap its intended ICE location in a former grocery store near an upscale development of $300,000 homes. The federal agency charged with finding a site also announced a new search for a headquarters venue where ICE could consolidate three immigration offices in the Research Triangle. “We are aware of the community’s interest in the location of the new ICE facility and want to work with the local community to make sure ICE is located in an area that will help it accomplish its mission and benefit the local community,” said Shyam Reddy, a regional administrator for GSA. In his statement, he said the federal agency expects to publish a new solicitation for office space to lease in coming weeks. U.S. Rep. David Price said he asked federal officials to work with the town and its residents to find another location where immigration officials will conduct investigations. The ICE website says the agency investigates and prosecutes suspects in cases of cyber-crimes, crimes against children, financial crimes, gangs, and human trafficking — activities that had neighbors and town officials worried. “I think GSA has made the right decision to cancel this move,” Price said in an e-mail. “It’s important that the Town of Cary and local residents be fully included in any decision about the location of a law enforcement facility of such a significant size in their community.”

Staff and wire report
RALEIGH — Republican legislators on Tuesday proposed General Assembly districts for the next decade that would give more political influence to areas in and around Raleigh and Charlotte and appear to help retain new GOP majorities while taking swipes at longtime Democratic incumbents. A draft of state House districts would place former House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, and Minority Whips Rick Glazier of Cumberland County and Deborah Ross of Wake County each into districts with Democratic colleagues in their own counties, a Republican mapmaker confirmed Tuesday night. If the maps are approved, the lawmakers would be forced to run against another incumbent in primaries next year or leave the Legislature. The boundaries for the 50 Senate seats and 120 House seats are changing to reflect a population increase of 1.5 million people in the state since 2000. They also reflect the power Republicans have since winning a majority in the chamber last fall for the first time in 140 years. Locally, Rowan County would be split between two state Senate districts. Republican Sen. Andrew Brock would continue to represent all of Davie County and most of Rowan. His 34th District, currently composed of those two whole counties, also would stretch into northern and eastern Iredell County. N.C. Sen. William Purcell, a Democrat who currently represents Anson, Richmond, Scotland and Stanly counties, would see his 25th District expanded into southeastern Rowan County. Brock said it can be good for a county to be represented by two different senators, because they can work together to fight for local issues. “If Purcell is representing that area, he’s inheriting a great group of people that live in that part of Rowan County,” he said. Still, Brock said he wishes the two whole counties could
have been kept together. The redistricting committees — Brock is vice chairman of the one in the Senate — had to create districts of roughly equal size based on Census 2010 population numbers. “If there were a few hundred more people in the district, I think we would have been the only district to stay the same,” he said. “But Davie and Rowan counties did not grow as fast as others in the state ... especially compared to Mecklenburg and Wake counties.” In state House, Rowan County would share one of its two state representatives with Cabarrus County and see the other gain ground at home. Rep. Fred Steen would pick up a large northeastern portion of Cabarrus in the 76th district under the proposal. He also would lose parts of Rowan to the 77th district. That district, represented by Rep. Harry Warren, would extend fully down Rowan County’s western border and reach further into the central part of the county. Warren said Tuesday he is excited to represent more people in the county. The 77th district would pick up more GOPdominated areas, he said, to balance its current Democratic leaning. “I think this makes this a fairer district as far as the political demographic,” he said. “It may weight it little more to Republican side, but ... the balance of power still lies in voter turnout.” Warren said he doesn’t think splitting the 76th district between two counties will hurt Steen’s Rowan constituents. Steen did not return a phone call from the Post on Tuesday evening. Statewide, Republicans didn’t sidestep district pairings of their own lawmakers. Current Senate leader Phil Berger, RRockingham, and Sen. Don Vaughan, D-Guilford, would be in the same two-county district whose voting patterns would appear to favor Berger. House Speaker Pro Tempore Dale Folwell also would live in the same district as fellow Forsyth County GOP Rep. Larry Brown, a House member said.
“A lot of Republican members are being caught up in the same population shifts that have driven the lion’s share of this,” said Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake, co-chairman of the House Redistricting Committee. Other so-called “double bunking” occurred because lawmakers live close to each other, he said. All told, 14 pairs of House members and five pairs of senators from both parties could potentially face each other in a primary or general election in 2012, Republicans said. The law requires each Senate and House district to be nearly equal in population — Senate districts of roughly 191,000 people and House districts of about 79,500 people. So mapmakers had to shift district lines to reflect population patterns converging on the Piedmont. Wake County had a 43 percent population increase over the past decade. It would be represented by two more House members to total 11 and an additional senator, making five. Mecklenburg County would remain at five senators but increase the number of House members representing it from 10 to 12. Johnston County, adjoining Raleigh, would be represented by a second senator and third House member. Counties that didn’t grow as fast as the state average lost representation. Guilford in the Piedmont and Haywood in the mountains would have one fewer senator under the proposed plan. Cumberland County would drop from five House districts to four. Election data of recent statewide races presented with the maps is often an indicator of how districts would perform in future elections. It put Republicans in an improved situation to keep control of the Senate and House. Democrats complain Republican mapmakers go too far in amassing a high percentage of black registered voters in certain, blotched-shaped districts to isolate them and make surrounding districts benefit GOP candidates more. A new state Senate district, for example,
would combine Hoke County with portions of Cumberland County with an outline that resembles a bird’s talon. “The grotesque shapes of some of these districts are absolutely repulsive,” said Sen. Dan Blue, D-Wake. “They’re shaped that way without any forceful legal reason for it ... other than maximizing the Republican probabilities of winning districts.” Hackney, now the minority leader, released a statement that said the House proposal “cynically reflects a time decades ago when our state had very little African-American representation and when the racial divide in politics was more the norm than the exception.” The General Assembly is expected to approve legislative and congressional maps by July 28. A session designed to vote on the districts was scheduled to begin today. A public hearing on the General Assembly district proposal was set for next Monday. Litigation may lie ahead. The senior chairmen of the redistricting committees released maps last month for more than 30 state House and Senate seats they say complied with the law by allowing black voters to elect favored candidates. In a statement, Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg and Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, said they adjusted some of those districts in response to comments received in public hearings. “Our primary goal is to propose maps that will survive any possible legal challenge,” the statement said. The four other pairs of Senate incumbents who would be placed in the same districts are Republican Pete Brunstetter and Democrat Linda Garrou in Forsyth County; Democrats Ellie Kinnaird and Bob Atwater in Chatham and Orange counties; Republicans Jerry Tillman and Harris Blake in Moore County and portions of Randolph County; and Republicans Debbie Clary and Warren Daniel in Burke and Cleveland counties. Clary already has announced she’s leaving the Senate this year.
SPENCER — Racy videos for sale at the new flea market in Spencer had town board members worked up Tuesday night. Collector’s Flea Market at 1303 S. Salisbury Ave., which opened in April, sells adult entertainment. “I thought we had put something in place to protect the town from that type of thing,” Alderman Scott Benfield said. The flea market doesn’t violate any town ordinance because adult entertainment isn’t the principal use of the business, and videos are housed in a separate and distinct area, said Dustin Wilson, land management director for Spencer. Wilson said he’s been in the store to inspect the adult section at the request of a resident who thought it was illegal. He hesitated to guess the number of videos for sale and said he couldn’t recall if other pornography was available, such as books and magazines. Wilson said he consulted with Town Attorney Rivers Lawther, who determined the flea market isn’t violating the town’s adult entertainment ordinance. Alderman Jeff Morris said three residents have complained to him about the flea market’s back room. “The reports are disturbing,” he said. Morris said the town should tweak the ordinance and make it more strict. While aldermen agreed they can’t do anything about porn for sale at the flea market, they said they want to prevent similar sales at other locations. The board directed Wilson to propose an amendment that would keep other businesses from selling adult entertainment outside of areas zoned industrial. Wilson said after the meeting he would ask the Spencer Planning Board to study the issue, look at other ordinances as examples and make a recommendation to the town board. The flea market owners could not be reached Tuesday night. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
In other action The Spencer Board of Aldermen also: • Declined a request from the Centralina Council of Governments to participate in regional planning in pursuit of a federal grant. No money is required from the town, which would provide representation on a steering committee, said Bill Dustin of CCOG. But Alderman Jeff Morris called it a “taxation scheme,” and Alderman Reid Walters said CCOG wants to become involved in transportation issues, which are better handled locally. • Heard that Spencer Police Detective N.W. Pacilio completed certification in Internet crimes against children, and the town received a laptop computer to help track down Internet criminals. • Agreed to charge residents who want a second rollout garbage cart. The first cart is free. Carts should arrive Aug. 5, with a three-week education campaign before the new curbside garbage collection begins in early September, public works Director Jeff Bumgarner said. The board voted last month to abandon backyard garbage service in favor of cheaper curbside pickup. Since then, more than half the town’s residents are already bringing their cans to the curb, Bumgarner said. Residents unable to roll the carts must present a doctor’s note at town hall. • Asked the town planner to propose an ordinance regarding swimming pools at vacant houses. Aldermen are concerned the pools present a safety hazard and will consider requiring banks that own the homes to secure the pools. • Agreed to limit the land available for a proposed bike path to town property only, from downtown to the Yadkin River Bridge. Morris said he doesn’t want the town to buy or condemn private property for a future bike lane. The board also voted to ban horses from the proposed path. Town staff have identified potential funding through the N.C. Department of Transportation for bike and pedestrian projects. The bike path through Spencer is part of the Rowan County Greenway Master Plan.

GREENVILLE (AP) — Utility officials in Greenville say a failed lightning arrester caused a power failure that left about 25,000 customers without light and air conditioning for about 20 minutes. Utilities Greenville spokeswoman Sue Hatch said the failure occurred around 5 p.m. Tuesday and originated at one of the city’s substations. Most of the outages affected residents on the southern edge of the city. Lightning arresters are designed to protect equipment from lightning strikes. Despite temperatures in the 90s, Hatch said the incident was not heat-related or load-related.
Perdue writes letters on offshore exploration RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue has written letters to show she’s committed to offshore energy exploration that creates North Carolina jobs and royalties, although she recently vetoed a bill on the topic. Perdue wrote to the state’s congressional delegation and General Assembly leaders Tuesday — the day before senators return to Raleigh to consider overriding her veto of legislation directing her to work with some governors to get the federal government to authorize Atlantic coast exploration. Perdue says the bill intrudes unlawfully on the executive branch and opposed an override. She said she supports offshore exploration as long as it’s done safely and in an environmentally responsible way. She asked North Carolina’s congressional delegation to sponsor legislation that in part ensures North Carolina would get its fair share of energy royalties.
Cape Fear River search continues for missing man SOUTHPORT (AP) — Brunswick County and Sunny Point rescue officials are resuming their search for a man who fell from the Southport municipal pier. Coast Guard Petty Officer David Marin said crews would continue efforts Tuesday to find the man who was seen falling from the pier to the waters of the Cape Fear River. Station Oak Island responders received a call about 6 p.m. Monday reporting the accident. Coast Guard crews used two boats to hunt for the missing man Monday evening. A Jayhawk helicopter also was sent from Air Station Elizabeth City to fly over the area. Search crews from the
GREENSBORO (AP) — The Greensboro Grasshoppers are crying foul over the theft of a statue depicting Miss Babe Ruth. The minor league baseball club says the likeness of the black Labrador retriever was stolen from in front of its park over the weekend, while the team was on the road. The statue’s four paws remain embedded in the sidewalk. The team is offering a reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever took the statue. Team President Donald Moore says it could take months to get a replacement. The statue, which was located near a likeness of fellow mascot Guilford the Grasshopper, was a popular spot for young fans to get their pictures taken.
Topsail residents on defensive about shark claims WILMINGTON (AP) — Officials of Topsail Island are disputing an online story that claims it’s a prime location for a shark attack. The StarNews of Wilmington reports the island appears in an online listing as one of five places in the U.S. where shark encounters are most likely to occur. Locals say the story posted on Yahoo Travel doesn’t have numbers to back up its claim. However, a girl was bitten at North Topsail Beach last month. Florida’s Icthyology Center reports that New Hanover County has had nine shark bites and no deaths since record-keeping began in 1935. Onslow and Carteret counties were next-highest in the state, each reporting eight bites and one death. Florida had the most U.S. shark attacks in 2010, with 23. North Carolina was second with five.
Political graffiti found at Planned Parenthood RALEIGH (AP) — Raleigh police are investigating political graffiti sprayed on walls at a Planned Parenthood health center. Graffiti found Tuesday morning says “You shall not murder” and “Baby murder” in large white letters on brick walls outside the building. Last week, Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate part of the new state budget that cuts it off from federal or state funds for family planning. The group says it’s being punished for its abortionrights advocacy and that its free speech protections are being violated. The group that filed the lawsuit is separate from the Raleigh health center. North Carolina has two Planned Parenthood affiliates, and the one that operates in Raleigh and several other cities is not part of the lawsuit.
Randolph County tries to curb EMS response times ASHEBORO (AP) — Randolph County commissioners are taking steps to improve emergency response times that can be as long as 40 minutes in some regions. The Courier-Tribune of Asheboro reports Tuesday that the county will relocate one emergency medical services station, add personnel and modify the county’s transport policy in an effort to trim response times. County EMS director Donovan Davis told commissioners during budget meetings about struggles to answer calls in a timely manner as a result of increasing 911 call volume. The average response time is 20 minutes in and around Asheboro and Randleman. Davis said in far-flung areas of the county, response times can average as much as double that time.
Greenville police blame gangs for 7 shootings GREENVILLE (AP) — Police in Greenville say an ongoing gang war is behind seven recent shootings and several home invasions. The Daily Reflector of Greenville reported that Police Chief William Anderson held a news conference Monday to alert residents to the rash of crimes that began June 19. Anderson says the incidents are not random but “criminal-versus-criminal.” He showed a poster with about a dozen suspects whose names were highlighted in either red or blue to signify affiliations with gangs the Bloods and Crips. The most recent shooting was Saturday. Four Greenville men were arrested after two of the suspects jumped from the vehicle and one fired at a pursuing officer. No shots were fired by officers.
Former Peak Fitness execs face fraud charges CHARLOTTE (AP) — Two former executives of the bankrupted Peak Fitness in Charlotte have been charged with fraudulently obtaining loans from Wells Fargo and Wachovia. The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday that former fitness chain owner Jef-
frey Stec and chief financial officer Kenneth Hanley are charged with commercial loan fraud and money laundering conspiracy. Prosecutors say the men used $130,000 from a commercial loan from Wachovia to qualify to purchase a $915,000 condo on Isle of Palms, S.C. Prosecutors say that Hanley moved the money to a personal account and received approval for the $856,000 loan from Wells Fargo. Prosecutors say the condo was later sold in a short sale in lieu of foreclosure and Wells Fargo lost about $230,000.
Wayne Co.’s mid-year meth site count passes 2010 GOLDSBORO (AP) — Wayne County officials say they have responded to more methamphetamine labs this year than in all of 2010. The News-Argus of Goldsboro reported that the 16th case of the year was a fire extinguisher in a neighborhood that had been adapted to store ammonia used in meth production. Sheriff’s Capt. Richard Lewis says a hazardous material cleanup contractor was called in to handle the hazardous substance. Lewis says a clampdown on over-the-counter sales of pseudoephedrine, a cold medicine also used in meth production, has prompted the proliferation of smaller labs. Officials are concerned about how they will pay for meth-lab related cleanups, averaging $3,000 per site, since the state shifted the expense to the counties.

Carolinas blood supply low as fewer people donate RALEIGH (AP) — The sluggish economy is affecting blood supplies in the Carolinas, where donors are failing to meet the anticipated demands. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the blood supply in the Carolinas has dwindled to the lowest level in more than 12 years. American Red Cross regional director Barry Porter says fewer companies are willing to sponsor blood drives, which account for nearly half of all donations. Some tell Porter that they do not want their employees to take time off work. Blood drives on campuses and at donation centers are also down. The Carolinas Red Cross region supplies blood to 103 hospitals in North Carolina and in small parts of South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina woman is hoping to lobby President Obama and Congress away from considering cuts to the Medicaid program that pays health care costs for the poor and disabled. Single mom Linda Guzman of Chapel Hill says she’s talked to White House officials and aides to U.S. Rep. David Price and Sen. Kay Hagan, both North Carolina Democrats. Guzman says she’s trying to protect the services crucial to her son as negotiations over raising the federal debt limit and cutting budget deficits turn to costly government services. Guzman says her 17-yearold son Javi suffers from autism and other ailments. Guzman says without Medicaid, her son would have to go to an even more expensive institution or she would be unable to work and pay taxes.

RALEIGH (AP) — Turning the federal healthcare reform law into reality is moving slowly as it’s being challenged in court, but a federal official says it’s already being felt in North Carolina and other states. Health and Human Services Regional Director and former South Carolina state legislator Anton Gunn is talking up the law due to be in force by 2014. Gunn is in Raleigh on Tuesday to answer questions about what’s ahead. North Carolina lawmakers this year started work on a new one-stop shop to help residents and small businesses find affordable health insurance. The proposal to create a health benefit exchange awaits action in the Senate. The overhaul law requires all states to have an exchange in place by 2014.

Rain lifts burning ban in some eastern parts of state RALEIGH (AP) — Recent rainfall totals have prompted state Forest Service officials to lift a burning ban in 10 eastern North Carolina counties. A ban on open burning remains in effect for all or parts of 19 other counties, though, as drought conditions continue in the eastern portion of the state. The counties where the fire danger has been reduced are mostly inland. Major wildfires burned for weeks along the coastline, and officials say fire danger there is still high. Even though the ban has been lifted in those 10 counties, forestry officials said Tuesday it could be reinstated if dry weather and high winds persist. A ban on open burning in-

Ridoutt’s Daycare Center was in business for more than 60 years and was licensed for 83 children. Owners Chad and Candy Ridoutt say an environmental lead investigation report on July 5 confirmed that the infant and kitchen areas contained hazardous levels of lead paint. The county started an investigation after a routine sanitation inspection in March uncovered flaking paint inside the facility. In severe cases, lead poisoning can lead to coma, seizures and death. It interferes with the development of the nervous system, which can lead to learning and behavioral disorders, and is especially toxic for children.

CARY (AP) — A privately-owned company that makes products that control vibration, motion and noise will build up its headquarters near Raleigh over several years and get state help with the expansion, Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office said Tuesday. Lord Corp. could pocket up to $1.3 million in grants if it lives up to projections to hire 117 people between 2012 and 2017 while keeping about 330 jobs now located in and around its Cary world headquarters. The white-collar jobs are expected to pay salaries averaging $81,487 a year. The company announced expansion plans in March and sought incentives from state and local governments to help cover its costs. A company spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment. Lord Corp. is expected to invest $20 million in the expansion. The company doesn’t release financial reports but says its sales exceed $600 million a year for adhesives, lubricants and other products manufacturers can’t do without but consumers never see. Lord Corp. has been moving into solar energy and wind power products.

Police: Handyman killed priest, headed for Disney World WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A handyman is accused of using a Catholic priest’s own gun to kill him at a beachfront house in Mississippi, then taking his ex-wife and kids on a Disney World vacation in the dead cleric’s car, authorities said. They had bought three-day passes to the theme park and were preparing to make an early start Tuesday when the suspect was arrested. Jeremy Wayne Manieri was taken into custody without incident about 6 a.m. at a hotel in Polk County, Fla., after police tracked the priest’s stolen car using its anti-theft device, Mississippi MANIERI Department of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kalahar said. Manieri will be charged with murder once he’s brought back to Waveland, Miss. Police said the man’s ex-wife did not know the car was stolen or how her husband got it and she was not expected to face charges. The Rev. Edward E. Everitt, 70, had gone to the Waveland house as part of his typical routine after Sunday Mass, a colleague said. The house is owned by several priests who use it as a weekend retreat, and Manieri did odd jobs for them. Police believe the handyman had intended to rob Everitt. The priest’s body was found by a caretaker Monday.

Altar girls enter the church during the opening procession of a memorial Mass for the Rev. Edward Everitt, at the Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Hammond, La., on Tuesday. The Rev. Everitt was killed at a beachfront home in Waveland, Miss, where his body was found Monday. “When she entered she found the man on the couch in the front room and he was bleeding from the mouth so she backed out and called the police,” Waveland Police Chief James Varnell said. After the killing, Manieri took the priest’s silver Chevy HHR, picked up his ex-wife and kids and headed for a motel in in Mobile, Ala., said Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Fla. They drove to a Days Inn in Polk County on Monday evening and
bought Disney passes with the priest’s cash, Judd said. Manieri had his ex-wife, his 10-year-old stepson and his 5-year-old daughter with him when he was arrested. Manieri was walking out of room 209 to have a cigarette when the police assault team descended on him. Judd said Everitt’s .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol was found in the stolen car by Polk County deputies. Deputies also found a wallet in the hotel room and said that the suspect
thought he had cleaned it out, but there was a card with the priest’s name on it inside. “He left a trail of evidence that a blind man could have followed,” Judd said. Authorities did not know whether Manieri has an attorney. He’s being held on auto theft warrant from Escambia County, Fla. The 31-year-old is a registered sex offender with a long criminal record, including a 2006 conviction on the charge of touching a child or a mentally defective, incapacitated or physically helpless person for lustful purposes, according to the Mississippi’s sex offender registry. Everitt was a pastor at Holy Ghost Church in Hammond, La., and Our Lady of Pompeii Church in nearby Tickfaw. The church is a member of the Dominican Order and also operates a school in the community about 50 miles northwest of New Orleans. Father David Caron, the vicar provincial for the Dominican Order in the South, said Sunday was Everitt’s day off and he typically went there on Sundays. Everitt, a native of Houston, has been with the order since 1962 and a priest since 1968.

“He was a really good preacher. He had the ability to draw out the best in people,” Caron said. He said the Dominican community in Hammond was hurt: “It is a close-knit community, and supportive of each other. People are coming together to take care of each other.” Caron said a service to honor and remember Everitt was scheduled at the Hammond church. He said funeral arrangements were pending and Caron’s body had not yet been released by police. As a religious order, Dominicans do not fall under the system of Catholic dioceses and archdioceses but instead under a system of provinces under the direction of a master of the order in Rome, Caron said. Bishop Robert Muench of the Diocese of Baton Rouge said Everitt would be missed. “This tragic loss of Father Ed’s life leaves a deeply-felt void in all our lives,” Muench said in a statement. “Together we pray to the Author of all life to provide Father Ed with the peace of eternal life. May our grief be seen in that perspective as we thank God for his valued life and priestly ministry.”

Reader should get to know brother before fixing his life Dear Amy: I am seven years older than my brother, and we are very different. Although we are fond of each other, I moved away from home before he was a teenager and we have never been very close. Lately, my brother has been going through some life changes and doesn’t seem to be handling them very well. He flunked out of ASK college last AMY month and is living with my mother. He says that he is going to look for a job but then never does. He enrolled at a community college for the summer but shows no interest in registering for any classes.
This is causing a strain in the relationship between my mom and my brother, and I’m worried that my brother might be depressed or have stress problems but not realize it (he has been having trouble eating lately). I would like to talk to him about what is going on in his life and try to help him realize that he needs to do something besides sit at home — get a job, go back to school, get an internship. He rarely shares his thoughts or feelings, and I’m worried that he’ll see me bringing this topic up as a form of badgering. What can I do to help him? — Worried Sib Dear Sib: By all means, check in with your brother — in person. The worst thing to do would be to hit him with all of your questions, theories and recommendations at
once. Spend time with him — outside your mother’s home — and get to know him better. Having a closer relationship with you could help him more than a list of recommendations about how he needs to fix his life. Ask him open-ended questions. Reflect some understanding, empathy and compassion about his situation. Ask if he will let you assist him. A job — any job — would be good for him, but he may not know how to get one. If he seems sad or depressed, offer to help him find someone to talk to and take him to his appointment. If he has an eating disorder, professional intervention would be necessary. Dear Amy: I was amused at your answer to “Ex’d Out� about digitally reworking photos and videos of his wed-
Dear R: I take your point. But “Ex’d Out� wasn’t hoping to produce a “happier� version of his long-ago wedding. He wanted to figure out what to do with a decades-old wedding album featuring a former spouse he had no contact with. I wasn’t suggesting digitally altering images, but to use digital media to preserve some photos and eliminate others. OK — maybe this translates into a “happier� version of the past, but you get my drift.
ding to eliminate his ex and create a happier recording of the event. As a savvy digital artist, I believe that you should have gone further with your advice. I could make him 50 pounds thinner, fix that receding hairline and replace that ill-fitting suit with a stylish tuxedo. I could also replace his ex with his favorite sexy TV or film starlet. If we are going to do a “George Orwell� on his past, let’s do it right! Doing this could eliminate the need to understand your past. I’ll bet that selectively digitally altering records of one’s past would solve 80 percent of your writers’ problems. How about it, Amy? Together we could make the world a happier place — or at least make it appear so. — R Shepard
Dear Amy: I spent the last half of my career flying, and I feel as if I’ve sat behind “Sleepless in Chicago� more times than I care to count. I think that reclining your seat in coach class is just about the rudest thing that one can do in an airplane. Those passengers who recline increase their space at
Make super-easy stuffed bread sticks, leftover spaghetti frittata Keep a few snack or appetizer recipes on hand. You can whip something together in no time rather than ordering takeout. For example, you might want pizza or donuts. Try making cinnamon tortilla strips. Cut tortillas into strips (a pizza cutter works well) and spread a small amount of butter on top, or spray with cooking oil. Then sprinkle the tortillas SARA with cinnamon and NOEL sugar and put them in a 350-degree oven for five minutes. You can also fry a few plain tortilla strips in oil until they're light golden-brown. (Fry a few at a time.) Drain the strips briefly on paper towels, then drag each of them through a sugar-and-cinnamon mixture. The first reader tip shares another easy recipe. Quick and easy stuffed bread sticks: I was sitting around and wanted something to tame this craving for pizza. I created this quickie and wanted to share.
• 1 Pillsbury pizza dough crust, but you can use any crust. • 10 cheese sticks. (You could save a little by buying a block of mozzarella and then cutting it into finger sticks.) • Parchment paper, which is so easy to work with. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F. I placed a piece of parchment paper the size of my pan on the counter and sprayed it with Pam. I then rolled out my square pizza crust. I placed the cheese sticks on the dough, spaced evenly apart, and cut the dough into individual strips. I rolled the cheese up in the dough, then cut and pinched the ends so as to make sure that no cheese was peeking out. I then just re-spaced them about an inch apart on the parchment paper and put them on a cookie sheet. I sprayed the dough with Pam. I used a bit of garlic salt and sprinkled them lightly with Parmesan cheese. I put them in the preheated oven and by the time they were brown, they were done. I opened a can of marinara for dip, but you can use spaghetti sauce instead. — Louise,
Note from Sara: You could add other pizza toppings inside such as pepperoni; you can also cut cheese into cubes or into smaller bite-sized nubs, too. Recipe for leftover spaghetti: Make a frittata. This is a favorite lunch or late-night supper at my house. Combine 4 cups cooked spaghetti and remaining sauce with 2 cups of any leftover cooked vegetables you happen to have. I've used broccoli, peppers, zucchini squash, mushrooms, peas and carrots. Add up to 4 beaten eggs and 1⠄2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Spread in a large skillet that's been brushed with oil, and cook on medium heat 4 or 5 minutes, until eggs are set, the cheese is melted, and the bottom is lightly browned. Cut it into wedges and serve to four lucky people. — Joanna P., email
Reusable mop pads: I, too, have been using washable fabric for my Swiffer mop. (Actually, it is a GrabIt mop but it's the same concept.) I have a huge piece of micro-fleece

Crain’s reports the Olympia Field home’s appraised value fell 26 percent in a year, to $3.8 million in 2010. The original 1999 loan was for $3.5 million The principal due is more than $2.9 million. R&B singer’s The spokesman, Allan Mayer, declined to comment about the foreclosure. But he tells The Associated Press that Kelly isn’t in financial trouble. Mayer says Kelly now lives in Chicago and that his recent tour and 2010 album, “Love Letter,� were successful.

Census: Share of children in US hits record low rates and limited immigration. The combined population of more-developed countries other than the U.S. is projected to decline beginning in 2016, raising the prospect of prolonged budget crises as the number of working-age citizens diminish, pension costs rise and tax revenues fall. Japan, France, Germany and Canada each have lower shares of children under age 15, ranging between 13 percent in Japan and 17 percent in Canada, while nations in Africa and the Middle East have some of the largest shares, including 50 percent in Niger and 46 percent in Afghanistan, according to figures from the United Nations Population Division. In the U.S., the share of children under 15 is 20 percent. Depending on future rates of immigration, the U.S. population is estimated to continue growing through at least 2050. In a hypothetical situation in which all immigration — both legal and illegal — immediately stopped, the U.S. could lose population beginning in 2048, according to the latest census projections. Since 2000, the increase for children in the U.S. — 1.9 million — has been due to racial and ethnic minorities. Currently, 54 percent of the nation’s children are nonHispanic white, compared to 23 percent Hispanic, 14 percent black, and 4 percent Asian. Over the past decade, the number of non-Hispanic white children declined 10 percent to 39.7 million, while the number of minority children rose 22 percent to 34.5 million. Hispanics, as well as Asians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and multiracial children represented all of the growth. The number of black and American Indian children declined. In nearly one of five U.S.

counties, minority children already outnumber white children. “The ‘minority youth bulge’ is being driven primarily by children in immigrant families,” said Mark Mather, associate vice president of the Population Reference Bureau who co-wrote a report released Tuesday on the subject. “They are transforming America’s schools, and in a generation they will transform the racial-ethnic composition of the U.S. work force.” “Policymakers are paying a lot of attention to the elderly, but we have a large population of children who have their own needs,” he said. The numbers come as states around the nation are seeking to cut education spending and other programs — rather than raise taxes — to close gaping budget holes as schools districts run out of $100 billion in federal stimulus money that helped stave off job losses over the past two years. In Texas, for instance, the Legislature changed state law so it could slash education
spending by $4 billion over the next two years to help make 2 billion budget up for a $27 shortfall. The move is the first cut in per-student spending in Texas since World War II, even as the state has gained nearly 1 million children over the past decade, many of them Hispanic. The school cutbacks are expected to have a disproportionate effect on low-income communities which are less able to raise local school taxes. Advocates believe that could further widen the achievement gap between students of different races in states like Texas, where some of the fastest student growth is among those who are poor and whose primary language is not English. The resulting cuts will be far-reaching and surprising to many parents and communities, from teacher layoffs to reductions in extracurricular programs and ballooning class sizes, said Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, a spokeswoman for the Texas Association of School Administrators.

Afghanistan, Petry didn’t seek to leave the Army, instead staying enlisted and even returning to Afghanistan for an eighth deployment last year, the president said before hanging the Medal of Honor around Petry’s neck. Petry had been assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash., before deploying to Afghanistan. He is still assigned there and works helping wounded soldiers return to civilian life. Obama also described seeing Petry’s prosthetic limb upclose as they might privately in the Oval Office prior to the Medal of Honor ceremony. Petry has bolted a small plaque to his arm with the names of fallen Rangers from the 75th Regiment. “They are, quite literally, part of him, just as they will always be part of America,” said Obama. The first living, active-duty service member who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan to get the Medal of Honor was Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, who received the honor last fall for his actions chasing down the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2007. Tuesday’s ceremony coincided with the accolade’s 149th anniversary. On July 12, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill passed by Congress authorizing the Medal of Honor.

ond time that a living, activeduty service member from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has received a Medal of Honor. Petry looked on from a stage in the East Room with his wife and children in the audience as the president described his heroics that day. It unfolded on May 26, 2008, in the remote east of Afghanistan, as Petry — then a staff sergeant — and other Rangers choppered toward an insurgent compound, the president said. As soon as they landed they came under automatic weapon fire, and Petry was hit in his legs. He fell, but as grenades came flying toward him and his comrades he picked one up. “This 28-year-old man with his whole life ahead of him, this husband and father of four, did something extraordinary,” Obama said. “He lunged forward, toward the live grenade. He picked it up. He cocked his arm to throw it back.” But before Petry could release the grenade it exploded. Petry’s right hand was blown off. But two of his fellow soldiers were saved. Still Petry kept going, applying his own tourniquet and issuing orders to help his unit fight and win, the president said. Even after the incident in

WASHINGTON (AP) — The soldier in uniform extended his prosthetic hand after losing his own in battle. And the commander in chief reached out to clasp it. It was a sobering moment toward the end of a moving ceremony at the White House Tuesday, as President Barack Obama awarded the nation’s highest military honor to Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Arthur Petry for his brave actions to protect his comrades in the firefight that cost him his right hand. “This is the stuff of which heroes are made,” the president declared, before reaching out and shaking Petry’s gray, robotic hand, which helped the soldier to remain active in the military and even redeploy to Afghanistan despite his serious injury. Later, Petry, a Santa Fe, N.M., native who now serves with the 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Ga., sought to turn attention away from himself and toward other service members and military families. “To be singled out is very humbling. I consider every one of our men and women in uniform serving here, abroad, to be our heroes,” Petry told reporters outside the White House. “They sacrifice every day and deserve your continued support and recognition.” Tuesday was just the sec-

“When people say, ‘CutAD government spending,’ they don’t think about the impact on the school down the street, until local voters begin to see the harm later,” she said. “That’s when we will really see the backlash. The sad thing is we’ll have many kids suffer in the process.” Similar battles over education funding have played out in California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin. Other census findings: • Based on current trends, Florida could surpass New York as the third-largest state in overall population before the next census in 2020, part of a long-term migration of U.S. residents to the South and West. The most populous states are California and Texas. • While more than half of U.S. residents now live in suburbs, the number of people living in cities also has rebounded somewhat in the past decade, increasing by 3 percentage points. Roughly onethird of the U.S. population lives in cities, the highest share since 1950.

raise urgent questions about whether today’s children will have the resources they need to help care for America’s growing elderly population.” The numbers are largely based on an analysis by the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit research group in Washington that studies global and U.S. trends. In some cases, the data were supplemented with additional census projections on U.S. growth from 2010-2050 as well as figures compiled by the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Kids Count project. Nationwide, the number of children has grown by 1.9 million, or 2.6 percent, since 2000. That represents a drop-off from the previous decade, when even higher rates of immigration by Latinos — who are more likely than some other ethnic groups to have large families — helped increase the number of children by 8.7 million, or 13.7 percent. Percentages aside, 23 states and the District of Columbia had declines in their numbers of children in the century’s first decade, with Michigan, Rhode Island, Vermont and D.C. seeing some of the biggest drops. On the other hand, states with some of the biggest increases — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas — also ranked in the bottom one-third of states in terms of child wellbeing as measured by the Kids Count project. The project calculated child well-being based on levels of poverty, single-parent families, unemployment, highschool dropouts and other factors. The slowing population growth in the U.S. mirrors to a lesser extent the situation in other developed nations, including Russia, Japan and France which are seeing reduced growth or population losses due to declining birth

WASHINGTON (AP) — Children now make up less of America’s population than ever before, even with a boost from immigrant families. And when this generation grows up, it will become a shrinking work force that will have to support the nation’s expanding elderly population — even as the government strains to cut spending for health care, pensions and much else. The latest 2010 census data show that children of immigrants make up one in four people under 18, and are now the fastest-growing segment of the nation’s youth, an indication that both legal and illegal immigrants as well as minority births are lifting the nation’s population. Currently, the share of children in the U.S. is 24 percent, falling below the previous low of 26 percent of 1990. The share is projected to slip further, to 23 percent by 2050, even as the percentage of people 65 and older is expected to jump from 13 percent today to roughly 20 percent by 2050 due to the aging of baby boomers and beyond. In 1900, the share of children reached as high as 40 percent, compared to a much smaller 4 percent share for seniors 65 and older. The percentage of children in subsequent decades held above 30 percent until 1980, when it fell to 28 percent amid declining birth rates, mostly among whites. “There are important implications for the future of the U.S. because the increasing costs of providing for an older population may reduce the public resources that go to children,” said William P. O’Hare, a senior consultant with the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, a children’s advocacy group. Pointing to signs that many children are already struggling, O’Hare added: “These

Succotash ingredients now at Salisbury Farmers Market
“Sara Foster’s Southern Kitchen,” by Sara Foster, with Tema Larter. Random House, New York. 416 pages. $35 hard cover. BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
The art of cooking surely cannot die as long as there are books like “Sara Foster’s Southern Kitchen” to provide inspiration. Foster is proprietor of the popular Foster’s Market in Chapel Hill and Durham — places where you can have a grilled ham-and-brie sandwich for lunch and buy seven-pepper jelly and sweet potato butter on the way out. The 416-page book, Foster’s fourth, is loaded with lush color photographs, chatty passages and useful tips. Best of all, the recipes offer fresh takes on traditional Southern dishes that won’t send you hunting for obscure ingredients — nouveau Southern, but not to the extreme. Foster is not faking her Southern cooking accent. She worked in Martha Stewart’s catering company at one time, but she grew up in Tennessee and lives on a farm near Durham. She says many of these recipes came from her grandmother. In some cases, that was only a starting point. “I’m not shy,” Foster’s introduction says, “about adding my own twist to classic dishes with ingredients like chipotle chiles, soy sauce and fresh mozzarella, which my grandmother would say have no business being in Southern food.” So the banana pudding calls for vanilla bean and rum, and the appetizer section includes Carmelized Fig Crostini with Country Ham and Goat Cheese. You probably won’t see that at your church’s covered-dish supper. For the most part, though, this is traditional fare, and dishes like Fried Green Tomatoes, Memphis-style Barbecued Spare Ribs and Granny Foster’s Bread and Butter Pickles prove the words below the book’s title — “soulful, traditional, seasonal” — do apply. So does the foreword from North Carolina novelist Lee Smith, who proclaims Foster’s fare as “rooted in love, family and memory, yet open to all life’s bounty.” The 12 chapters go from “Come On In: Hors Doeuvres and Cocktails” to “Stay Awhile Longer Sweets.” Midway through you’ll come upon “Pig: A Food Group All Its Own.” Foster wrote the book in memoir-like style with the help of Tema Larter, assistant editor at UNC Press in Chapel Hill. Personal reminiscences and observations preface each chapter as well as many recipes. (“We had fried okra almost nightly at my grandmother’s house during the summer. It’s my mom’s idea of a green vegetable.”) And throughout the book you’ll find useful “On the side” suggestions, such as, “It should be illegal to serve Mess o’ Greens without Salt and Pepper Skillet

Almost everyone enjoys succotash, a favorite summer concoction made primarily with corn and lima beans. Other vegetables can be added, such as tomatoes, okra and green or red sweet pepper. The American Indian word, succotash, means boiled corn kernels. In some parts of the American South any mixture of vegetables prepared with lima beans and seasoned with lard or butter is called succotash. Last Saturday, lima beans, also known as butter beans, made their appearance at the Salisbury Farmers Market for the first time this season. Corn, tomatoes and okra have already made their debut so we now have the basics to prepare fresh succotash. The usual array of summer produce is plentiful. In addition to corn, tomatoes, okra and butter beans there are a good many cucumbers, all varieties of pepper, squash, zucchini, onions, potatoes and cabbage. Other favorites available are purple hull peas, Dixie bell peas, stringless and half runner green beans and beets. The summer fruits and berries are always popular. This year seems to be a bumper crop of blueberries. The bakers offer many items made with fresh

Here are three recipes to sample from the book. The first is a richly savory squash dish that Foster says is “the vegetable equivalent of mac and cheese.” It may also be the fat equivalent, since it includes bacon, butter, mayo and Parmesan cheese. Basil gives it a fresh twist.

ne of my favorite Andy Griffith episodes is the one where Barbara Eden sets up shop at Floyd’s as The Manicurist. If you’re not old enough to remember it, you can check it out on YouTube. Looking like a Barbie doll, she picks Mayberry because it’s such a friendly town. Andy remarks, “Nature’s been good to you. I mean real, real, real good. I can’t remember when I’ve seen nature spend as much time on one LYNN person.” CLARK I love that line. Is it just me or does young Barbara look exactly like Taylor Swift? Anyway, today I was reminded again that Salisbury is also a very friendly town. My sister and I visited the Salisbury Farmer’s Market this morning. What a great trip. There was plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, pastries, flowers, breads and plants. While we didn’t bump into Barbara Eden or Andy, we certainly could have.

cucumber bread you say? didn’t plant zucchini on purpose. There’s always too much zucchini in the world this time of year, so I’m counting on my friends and acquaintances and coworkers sharing their bounty with me. What I didn’t count on was having too many cucumbers. My cucumbers are inexplicably prolific this summer, so much so that my friends and acquaintances and coworkers have stopped being polite about it and now just blurt out “No” when I ask them if they’re ready for more cucumbers. So rather then let them rot on the vine (my cukes, not my friends), I made an intuitive leap in my head: cucumber ... zucchini ... both long, green and juicy ... and decided to substitute cucumbers in my trusty zucchini bread recipe — and what do you know, it worked! Turns out the vegetable you use doesn’t have any bearing on the taste, since the flavor comes from the CINDY The zucchini or cucumber — HESPRICH spices. and probably even carrots or squash — just provide bulk and moisture, serving as a carrier for the defining spice which in this case is cinnamon. Here’s my favorite zucchini bread recipe, handed down to me from my mother who got it from a friend of hers, or maybe she got it from a women’s magazine. No matter, it’s tried and tested and true, and I’m happy to say it works equally well with zucchini or cucumber. Now if my pole beans come in as successfully as the cukes did ... hmmm, I wonder.

It wasn’t about making a sale. Her enthusiasm for gardening was definitely contagious. She made us anxious to get home to try out her techniques on our own plants. At another stand were beautiful homemade rugs and placemats. He advised me as I walked by that now would be a great time to do some Christmas shopping. If only I were that wise.

Mila Kunis says yes to Marine YouTube date request LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marine Sgt. Scott Moore has a big date coming up when he returns from military service in Afghanistan. The data systems technician gained fame — and apparently a date with actress Mila Kunis — when he posted a video on KUNIS YouTube last week inviting the “Black Swan” star to accompany him to the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, N.C., in November. The annual event marks the founding of the Marines in 1775. Kunis learned of the video during a recent interview with her “Friends With Benefits” costar, Justin Timberlake, who urged her to fulfill her patriotic duties. Kunis agreed to the date, saying, “I’ll go.” Her publicist, Melissa Raubvogel, had no comment Tuesday.

I just wanted to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18th in Greenville, N.C., with yours truly. So take a second, think about it and get back to me.” He said that though he has not communicated directly with the actress, “I have heard back from her people.” “I’m very excited about the opportunity to share the experience with Ms. Kunis and would like to thank her for accepting my offer,” he said.

FIELDCREST CANNON STADIUM
Rowan exits In S.C., users pay for parks the field s baseball great Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” Yet even if the final sales agreement hasn’t been signed, Rowan County’s 15-year foray into baseball stadium ownership is finally coming to a close as the city of Kannapolis prepares to assume sole ownership of Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium. For many, the last out in this grueling game won’t come soon enough. From its inception, joint ownership of the stadium has been a contentious arrangement, with the county, Kannapolis and the stadium’s management team — currently, Smith Family Baseball — perpetually enmeshed in negotiations over ownership shares, utility payments, lease agreements — even who’s responsible for cutting the grass. With KanKannapolis City Council napolis City has approved an agreement to take over owner- Council giving ship of Fieldcrest Cannon final approval to buying out Stadium. Rowan County’s share for $3 million (a significant discount on its $5 million investment), many will simply say goodbye and “good riddance.” We’d say good luck — good luck to Kannapolis, Smith Family Baseball and the Intimidators. While the county may no longer have direct ownership in the stadium, it still has a vested interest in the future success of the facility and its minor league baseball franchise or alternative uses for the site. Local residents attend Intimidator games. There’s also an economic benefit derived from getting more people into the stands for baseball games and other events held there. The stadium may be a gateway to Kannapolis, but many who pass through its ticket gates either live in or will visit Rowan. The co-ownership plan may not have been doomed from the start, but from Rowan’s perspective, it was more chronic headache than field of dreams. Despite some good-faith efforts at reconciliation, Rowan and Kannapolis officials couldn’t come up with a winning formula for shared ownership. Now, Kannapolis officials have a chance to make a fresh start, and they have some good ideas for enhancing the stadium property and increasing its potential. If they’re successful, Rowan residents can enjoy the benefits of having a stadium in their backyard without the perennial discord of an unhappy partnership.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
If we keep going in the same direction we will end up where we are headed. — Chinese proverb
ALEIGH — Have you ever been to a state park in South Carolina? I have. As a history buff, I’ve visited several of the Palmetto State’s excellent historic sites, such as Andrew Jackson State Park and Kings Mountain State Park. I’ve also relaxed or recreated at several South Carolina parks during trips to Myrtle Beach, where I have family, and Charleston, one of my favorite towns. In virtually every case, I’ve paid an admission fee. I was glad to do it. For one thing, I feel responsible for paying for the costs I imposed and the benefits I received. For another thing, I JOHN know that properties primarily HOOD supported by donations and user fees are usually better-run and better-maintained that properties primarily supported involuntary “contributions” from uninvolved taxpayers. I should say that I’m also a regular visitor to North Carolina historical sites and parks. My kids and I have toured the Alamance Battleground, watched an historical reenactment at the House in the Horseshoe near Sanford, and visited the Buncombe County birthplace of Gov. Zebulon Vance. We’ve stopped at Morrow Mountain and Pilot Mountain during family trips. I enjoy North Carolina’s offerings, too, and would be willing to pay modest fees to maintain them (South Carolina’s fees are typically $2 for adults, with lower or no fees for seniors and children). But except for a few attractions, most North Carolina parks and sites don’t charge admission fees. (I’ve put cash in donation boxes when I’ve run across them.) The two Carolinas operate their state park systems with very different assumptions and policies, as Bruce Henderson explained in a recent story in The Charlotte Observer. In North Carolina, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources administers the state parks, while the Department of Cultural Resources administers the historic sites. In South Carolina, it’s the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism that runs its state parks and historic sites, as a customer-oriented enterprise. Users and donors cover nearly 80 percent of the cost

LETTERS
of South Carolina’s parks. In North Carolina, the comparable figure is reportedly just 20 percent. During legislative deliberations over the 2011-13 state budget, North Carolina’s park system lost some tax funding, much like the rest of state government did. But its governing philosophy wasn’t changed. That’s unfortunate. In a free society, the justification for government involvement in parks and recreation facilities is limited. Some argue, as economist Milton Friedman did early in his career, that because neighbors and passers-by derive benefit from the existence of open spaces, they should share some of the cost of maintaining those spaces through taxes. You can also argue that the environmental benefits of parkland and state government’s responsibility to keep and display state records and artifacts serve as additional justifications for some taxpayer expenditure on these services. But those who actually set foot in state parks and historic sites clearly derive most of the benefits. They hike the trails, navigate the rivers and lakes, climb the mountains, visit the museums, explore the structures, and camp out under the stars. They shouldn’t force other North Carolinians to shoulder most of the cost for their enjoyment or edification. Keep in mind that these services are not entitlements. Under all governments, residents are entitled to protection of their life, liberty, and property. Police and courts should never be feefor-service enterprises. Similarly, in North Carolina access to public education is an entitlement guaranteed by the state constitution. There is nothing in law or experience that justifies the North Carolina approach to stateparks management. South Carolina and other states that make greater use of user fees continue to offer their residents and visitors excellent facilities. I am aware of no evidence that these states attract few park patrons per capita than North Carolina, or that the economic impact of their parks in particular or their tourism industry in general is lower than in our state. What’s more likely is that North Carolina taxpayers are being taken advantage of. Time for that to come to an end. • • • John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of

Blood donors needed to fill critical nationwide shortage As a blood donor recruitment representative, I have seen firsthand how blood transfusions can truly help save lives. Right now, the American Red Cross is issuing an appeal for blood donors to roll up a sleeve and give blood because there is a critical blood shortage nationwide. While many blood donors are busy traveling, vacationing or just visiting with friends and family during the summer months, donations have dropped dramatically. Blood donations were at the lowest level the Red Cross has seen in the May and June timeframe in over a dozen years, while demand for blood products remained steady. The Red Cross needs blood donors now more than ever. All types are needed, but especially O negative, which can be used to treat any patient. Donors are encouraged to visit redcrossblood.org or call 704-633-3854 to make a blood donation appointment. Thank you for your continued support of the American Red Cross. — Tiffany N.

o the living, being recorded as dead by the federal government is no laughing matter, more like a nightmare, and it happens with unsettling frequency. Each month, the Social Security Administration falsely records that nearly 1,200 living Americans have died. That happened to Judy Rivers, 58, of Jasper, Ala. Before the mistake could be rectified, she had been denied home loans and college aid, turned down for job interviews, rejected 14 times for credit cards and questioned by police on suspicion of identity fraud. Checks with Social Security’s huge database reported that her Social Security number either could not be confirmed or had been deactivated because of her supposed death. Others mistakenly listed on the agency’s Death Master File have been refused medical disability payments and federal tax refunds, and had their credit cards cancelled and their bank accounts frozen. Thomas Hargrove of Scripps Howard News Service obtained three years’ worth of the federal death file and found that 31,931 Americans recorded as dead in 1998 and 2008 had been taken off the 2011 death list because the Social Security Administration discovered they were still living. SSA blames the mistaken entries largely on “inadvertent keying errors” by federal employees. While these are a tiny fraction of the 2.7 million deaths reported annually, the Death Master File, created in 1981 to verify identities and combat fraud, is now a widely used resource for prospective employers, banks and credit card and insurance companies. The Death Master File is widely available and easily accessed, too easily, according to Social Security’s Office of the Inspector General. The erroneous death entries contain what the agency calls PII, personally identifiable information, including the subject’s full name, Social Security number, date of birth, and the ZIP codes of last-known residences. The inspector general recommended additional precautions to avoid errors and limit the amount of personal information available to the public on the death file. The inspector general said the agency disagreed with both recommendations. Thus it’s still possible to go on living but be dead as far as Uncle Sam is concerned. If you do turn up dead in the database, contact your local Social Security office, preferably in the flesh. And it might help to get a letter from your doctor attesting to your continued existence as one Arizona woman was forced to do.

A conspiracy theory sprouts On July 13, the president said we should all eat our peas. I can see it now — millions of Americans rushing to stores to buy peas by the bushel, driving up prices and creating shortages. Is this a conspiracy by the president and the American Federated Union of Pea Pickers to create millions of jobs? Or is the union trying to increase pea picker wages and pensions? I think it’s a combination of both. The question is where will they get all the new pea pickers? These are jobs that no American would ever consider doing, even if the jobs paid $100,000 per year with retirement at age 45 with an 80 percent pension for life. The Dems will like this conspiracy because there will be millions more taxpayers (Dream Act illegals from Mexico) giving our government more money to waste on things like protecting the hatchback Mongolian lizard in Rootbeer, Texas, from extinction. The Repubs will like it as they can use it as anti-Obama propaganda in the coming election.

I suspect the media — NBC, ABC, CNN and possibly Fox — will start running surveys to determine: (A) Do you like peas? (B) Do you hate peas? (C) I don’t know or (D) What the heck are peas? Then they’ll try to determine who likes peas more, i.e. Democrats, Republicans or independents. I also suspect a Pea Caucus will be formed in Congress to determine the impact of our pea growth on our GDP, economy and world markets. Will there be enough peas for school lunches so our government can mandate that all schools include them in their menus? Of course the EPA and the FDA will have to start multimillion-dollar studies to determine the impact on our environment of expanded pea farming and the effect on the ozone layer. I just hope Al Gore doesn’t see this as a huge profit opportunity and end up destroying all the crops with his jet fuel exhaust. As for me. I may just grow my own.

Citizens and voting rights
Quotable “It doesn’t get any hotter than this. That’s why we’re doing as much as we can in the shade.” MARK VINCENT
Roger Hull is absolutely correct in stating the United States Constitution (as amended) guarantees the “right” to vote for all “citizens” (July 9 letter). But the operative word throughout the passages he quotes is citizen. It is also incumbent on the government to guarantee that only legal citizens are allowed to vote, and citizen as used in the Constitution can only mean citizens of the United States, not just residents. There is nothing inherently wrong in individual states requiring proof of citizenship before affording the rights of citizenship to any resident, be it voting, healthcare or any other “right.” It seems to only be the current administration and progressive minority that has a problem understanding the Constitution. — James Grizzard Salisbury

Astronauts perform last spacewalk of space shuttle era CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronauts making the last spacewalk of NASA’s space shuttle era on Tuesday retrieved a broken pump from the International Space Station and installed a fill-er-up experiment for a robot. The space station’s twoarmed robot Dextre won’t tackle the $22.6 million playset — a fancy Fisher-Price toy as one astronaut describes it — until long after Atlantis departs and the shuttle program ends. But perhaps more than anything else on this final journey by a shuttle, the robotic demo illustrates the possibilities ahead for NASA: satellite-refueling stations in space run by robots. In a departure from previous shuttle visits, the spacewalking job fell to space station astronauts, Michael Fossum and Ronald Garan Jr., who teamed up for three spacewalks in 2008. The fourperson Atlantis crew is the smallest in decades, and so the lone spacewalk of the mission was handed over to the fulltime station residents. It was the 160th spacewalk in the 121⁄2-year life of the orbiting outpost, and the last one planned for Americans for nearly a year.
Should parents lose custody of super obese children? CHICAGO (AP) — Should parents of extremely obese children lose custody for not controlling their kids’ weight? A provocative commentary in one of the nation’s most distinguished medical journals argues yes, and its authors are joining a quiet chorus of advocates who say the government should be allowed to intervene in extreme cases. It has happened a few times in the U.S., and the opinion piece in Wednesday’s
Journal of the American Medical Association says putting children temporarily in foster care is in some cases more ethical than obesity surgery. Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard-affiliated Children’s Hospital Boston, said the point isn’t to blame parents, but rather to act in children’s best interest and get them help that for whatever reason their parents can’t provide. State intervention “ideally will support not just the child but the whole family, with the goal of reuniting child and family as soon as possible. That may require instruction on parenting,” said Ludwig, who wrote the article with Lindsey Murtagh, a lawyer and a researcher at Harvard’s School of Public Health.
California woman puts severed penis in garbage disposal GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California woman was in custody Tuesday after authorities said she drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis and put it through a garbage disposal. Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said that Catherine Kieu Becker drugged a meal and served it to the victim, whose name was not released, shortly before the attack Monday night. Nightengale said the 51year-old man felt sick, went to lie down and lost consciousness. He said the 48-year-old Becker then tied the victim’s arms and legs to the bed with rope, removed his clothes and attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen knife as he awoke. “He was conscious when his penis was removed,” Nightengale said. Nightengale said Becker put the penis in the garbage disposal and turned it on.

Afghan president’s half brother killed KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — The powerful half brother of President Hamid Karzai was gunned down in his heavily fortified home by a close associate Tuesday, setting off a power struggle in southern Afghanistan and raising doubts about stability in a critical area for the U.S.led war effort. The assassination of Ahmed Wali Karzai, a wheeler-dealer and the key to his half brother’s power in the south, leaves the president without an influential ally to handle the tricky job of balancing the interests of the region’s tribal and political leaders, drug runners, insurgents and militias. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, but officials immediately cast doubt that they were involved. If they were, it could undercut the president’s own effort to talk peace with insurgents as foreign forces begin their exit. The gunman’s motive was unclear. He was identified as Sardar Mohammad, who had provided security for Wali Karzai and members of his family.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With compromise talks at a vituperative standstill, Senate Republicans unexpectedly offered Tuesday to hand President Barack Obama new powers to avert the first-ever government default threatened for Aug. 2. Under a proposal outlined by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Obama could request increases of up to $2.4 trillion in the government’s borrowing authority in three separate installments over the next year, as long as he simultaneously proposed spending cuts of greater size. The debt limit increases would take effect unless blocked by Congress under special rules that would require speedy action — and even then Obama could exercise his authority to veto such legislation. Significantly, the president’s spending cuts would be debated under normal procedures, with no guarantee they ever come to a final vote. In essence, McConnell’s proposal would greatly enhance Obama’s authority to avoid a default, while also virtually absolving Republicans of responsibility if one occurred. At the same time, it would allow Republican lawmakers to avoid having to support an increase in the debt limit, something many of them find odious. “Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure the government doesn’t default on its obligations,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. He also excoriated the administration for seeking tax increases along with spending cuts as part of an agreement to raise the debt limit. There was no immediate response to the GOP proposal from the White House,
associated press
senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell of Ky. where Obama hosted his third meeting in as many days with congressional leaders struggling to avert a financial crisis. The talks have revolved around attempts to meet Republican demands for deficit cuts at least as large as any increase in the debt limit. Negotiators have grown testy in recent days as Obama and Democrats pushed for higher tax revenue as part of the deal, a line Republicans say they will not cross. It was unclear whether McConnell’s proposal could show the White House and congressional leaders of both parties a way out of a deadlock that Obama and others said threatened calamitous results for an economy still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades. It would obligate Obama to outline deep spending cuts, something Republicans have been trying to force him to do for months without much success. Reductions as large as $2.5 trillion would almost certainly affect domestic programs seen as important by Democratic constituencies and by rank-and-file lawmakers, possibly including Medicare and Medicaid. Even if the cuts
never took effect, Republicans would be able to call for votes, while identifying them as sponsored by the White House. Any such proposals could also be used by Republicans in the 2012 campaigns, if only to blunt attacks made by Democrats. The White House talks have been aimed at producing a compromise to cut projected deficits by trillions of dollars over the next decade while renewing the Treasury’s authority to resume borrowing. The government reached its current $14.3 trillion borrowing limit several weeks ago, and Treasury officials have been relying on accounting maneuvers to continue to pay the nation’s bills without additional borrowing. While Obama and Republicans maneuvered for political position, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said during the day that the two parties’ debate over deficit reduction “should not be tied to the debt ceiling.” “America’s good name and credit are just too important to be held hostage to Washington gridlock,” he said in a speech a few miles away from the nation’s financial center of Wall Street. Bloomberg’s concern echoed similar expressions by Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and neither McConnell nor House Speaker John Boehner has disputed the assertion that a default could bring disaster to the economy that is growing so slowly that unemployment stands at 9.2 percent nationally. Still, in remarks made before McConnell unveiled his proposal, Boehner said bluntly of the president, “This debt limit increase is his problem and I think it’s time for him to lead by putting his plan on the table — something that the Congress can pass.”

GOP fails to turn off light bulb standards WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Tuesday failed to stop the enactment of new energy-saving standards for light bulbs they portrayed as yet another example of big government interfering in people’s lives. The GOP bill to overturn the standards set to go into effect next year fell short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage. The vote was 233193. For many Republicans, those newfangled curly fluorescent light bulbs were the last straw, pushed by an overreaching government that’s forcing people to buy health insurance, prodding them to get more fuel-efficient cars and sticking its nose into too many places. Their legislation would have kept the marketplace clear for the cheap, energywasting bulbs that have changed little since Thomas Edison invented them in 1879. For most Democrats, it’s an exasperating debate that, just like the old incandescent bulbs being crowded out of the market, produces more heat than light. The standards in question do not specifically ban the old bulbs but require a higher level of efficiency than the classics can produce, essentially nudging them off store shelves over the next few years. Four of Edison’s descendants said the great inventor would be mortified to see politicians trying to get the nation to hang on to an outdated technology when better bulbs are available. The standards have not been particularly contentious before now. They were crafted in 2007 with Republican participation and signed into law by President George W. Bush. People seem to like the new choices and the energy savings they bring, polling finds. But now they have become a symbol of a much larger divide in Washington over the size and reach of government itself. The new bulbs suggest to some conservatives that big government is running amok. “Now the government wants to tell consumers what type of light bulb they use to read, cook, watch television or light their garage,” said Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas. “I’m not opposed to the squiggly tailed CFLs,” said Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, a driving force behind the effort to save the old incandescents and the sponsor of the bill to overturn the standards. But making the old bulbs go away “seems to me to be overkill by the federal government.” Republicans said people who now buy a bulb for 30 or 40 cents shouldn’t be forced to pay $6 for a fluorescent bulb or more for LED (lightemitting diode) lighting. “If you are Al Gore and want to spend $10 for a light bulb, more power to you,” Barton said. He exaggerated the cost of most energy-efficient bulbs and neglected to mention that they last years longer than old incandescent bulbs, which convert about 90 percent of the energy they consume as electricity into heat, and only 10 percent into light. Republican presidential contender Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota complained earlier this year that, under President Barack Obama, “we bought a bureaucracy that now tells us which light bulbs to buy.” The Obama administration, which opposes Barton’s bill, says the lighting standards that are being phased in will save nearly $6 billion in 2015 alone. The Energy Department says upgrading 15 inefficient incandescent bulbs in a home could save a homeowner $50 a year. Lighting accounts for about 10 percent of home electricity use. The White House says the standards drive U.S. innovation, create manufacturing jobs and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Incandescent bulbs are not disappearing. Today’s energysavings choices include incandescent lighting that is more efficient, and more expensive to purchase, than the old standbys.

Fielder HR sparks NL BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press
PHOENIX — Pitching, speed and a little bit of power. The NL 5 National League is AL 1 back on top in the AllStar game, using the same formula that worked during its dominating run in the 1970s and ‘80s. Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Roy Halladay and his relief combined on a six-hitter to lead the NL over the AL 5-1 Tuesday night, giving the senior circuit its first two-game winning streak since the mid-1990s. The NL claimed home-field advantage in the World Series, its only blemish being a home run by Adrian Gonzalez off

Cliff Lee. “It was great to have the pitching set up the way it was,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s hard to beat great pitching and a three-run homer.” With several big names as no-shows at Chase Field, the AL lost more than the game. Boston right-hander Josh Beckett warmed up, then bowed out with a sore knee. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left after hurting a muscle in his side while swinging. “We are not going to use not having Josh as an excuse,” AL manager Ron Washington said. “I think when you look at the ballgame, the bottom line is the National League pitching was outstanding. You know, we ended up giving up
one big inning and they didn’t give up any.” Even before they were hurt, many stars were missing. Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez and many other aces started Sunday and were ineligible, Chipper Jones and Alex Rodriguez were among those on the disabled list and Derek Jeter wanted a break. In all, 16 of 84 All-Stars were dropped. Tyler Clippard got the win despite allowing a single to his only batter, Adrian Beltre.

BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
SANDWICH, England — Rory McIlroy slipped into his seat without great fanfare Tuesday, his presence detected by a sudden burst of camera shutters when the photographers realized the star of this British Open had arrived. It was his first time at a news conference since that Sunday evening at Congressional, and it all looked familiar except that the 22year-old from Northern Ireland no longer had the shiny U.S. Open trophy at his side. In its place were expectations of many more majors to follow, perhaps starting with this one. With a record-setting performance in the major billed as golf’s toughest test, McIlroy has emerged as the favorite to join an elite group of players to capture the U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. McIlroy knew it was quite an achievement, setting scoring records at the U.S. Open and winning by eight shots. Only in the three weeks he has spent at home has the magnitude started to sink in. “I didn’t realize how much of a fuss it would create or how much of a buzz,” he said. “It’s been nice. I thought it was great for me to win the U.S. Open, win my first major. The support that I’ve had from people back home, from everyone all over the world, has been pretty overwhelming.” It was impossible to miss on Tuesday. It almost felt as though Tiger Woods were at the Open, still on top of his game. There were more media in the room waiting for McIlroy than those who actually listened to Luke Donald, who is No. 1 in the world and coming off a four-shot win in the Scottish Open. They stood against every wall in the room and were threedeep at the doorway. This is the new world of McIlroy. And he says he’s ready for it. “This is what I’ve always wanted to do,” McIlroy said. “I’ve always wanted to be a successful golfer and be one of the best players in the world and to win major championships. If I have to put up with a few things along the way, then I’m fine with that.” McIlroy hasn’t played since he won the U.S. Open, taking time off to catch his breath, go to Wimbledon and a heavyweight fight in Germany, then getting back to work on his game.

For the second game in a row, Rowan struggled to bring home runs, stranding 11 runners. However, for the 10th game in a row, it GARCZYNSKI resulted in a W. “We didn’t tear the cover off the ball, that’s for sure,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “We just got lucky and hit them in the right spots.” Rowan’s fortune puts them up against Mocksville for the second time in three nights today at New-

Pinyan ready for East-West game BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Salisbury football coach Joe Pinyan begins the third leg of the high school triple crown of coaching today when he heads to Greensboro. He was an assistant for the N.C. Shrine Bowl team in 2007. He coached in a state championship game last December (a 30-0 Hornet victory) and next Wednesday, he will be the head coach for the West team in the annual EastWest All-Star game at Grimsley’s Jamieson Stadium. Pinyan and his five assis-
tants, which includes A.L. Brown’s Todd Hagler, begin preparations today while the players report on Thursday. Pinyan called each of his all-stars recently to introduce himself. “You don’t know them, they don’t know you,” Pinyan said. “That’s the challenge.” It’s a never-ending process right up until game-time. Pinyan said he has heard the horror stories of kids not showing up and others coming in fat and sassy. “All 32 of ours will be there,” Pinyan reported. “We’ll make the best of what we have with every intention

WINSTON-SALEM — A brilliant playoff run came to a questionable halt TuesW-Salem 5 day for the South Rowan legion S. Rowan 4 team, by way of a 5-4 loss to Winston-Salem. “This is really tough,” South coach Michael Lowman said, after the defeat. “I thought Jesse (Park) gave us all he had tonight on the mound, but we just couldn’t get a big hit when we needed it and our guys didn’t take their best approaches at the plate tonight either.” With the game tied 4-4 going into the ninth, it was anybody’s game for the taking. South appeared to be ready to “take it” as Jordan Kenerly doubled KENNERLY to lead off the final frame, then Kyle Bridges drew a free pass, putting runners at the corners with nobody out. Winston pitcher Jamie Nunn, then threw a wild pitch that Bridges was hesitant on and didn’t advance to second. After Nunn struck out Gunnar Hogan, Maverick

Miracle win for Mocksville From staff reports
Trailing 6-2 heading to the bottom of the ninth, Mocksville rallied for five runs to eliminate Eastern Randolph 7-6 and stayed alive in Bracket B of the Area III playoffs. Mocksville (17-11) will be WEBB at Newman Park tonight. Rowan is still unbeaten in the double-elimination affair so Mocksville would have to beat Rowan tonight and again on Thursday to win Bracket B and advance to the Area III championship series and qualify for the state tournament. Rowan beat Mocksville 5-0 on Monday. Mocksville ironman D.J. Webb pitched all nine innings in Tuesday’s game, striking out 11 and walking none. He retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced. The Mocksville ninth began with a dropped flyball in deep right field off the bat of Caleb Brawley. Tyler King doubled down the left-field line, and Alex Newman walked to load the bases with none out. Javan Phillips was hit by a pitch to force home a run, and Tyler Jordan’s sacrifice fly made it 6-4. Mocksville 6-5 trailed when Zach Long came to the plate with runners at second and third and two out to ER’s face Tyler See. LONG The LenoirRhyne football player worked the count to 3-2 before staying alive by fouling off several pitches. Finally, Long smashed a hooking double to left that scored both runners and gave Mocksville an amazing, walkoff victory. Mocksville reporter Brian Pitts said the wild, celebratory dogpile at the plate was unusual in that it included not only players and coaches, but Del Long — Zach’s father. But who could blame him?

Mostly female jury seated for trial WASHINGTON (AP) — An overwhelmingly female jury with little interest in baseball will decide whether former pitching star Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs. The jurors who took their seats Tuesday include a woman whose cousin, former outfielder Al Bumbry, was a coach for the Boston Red Sox when Clemens played for the team, although she didn’t know about the connection to the defendant. Another woman on the jury said she believes Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was “done wrong” in his criminal conviction in connection with dogfighting. The jury took shape after four days of questioning by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton and lawyers for both sides. Clemens’ defense team said the seven-time Cy Young Award winner will begin his defense by questioning the propriety of lawmakers’ investigation into whether Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs. Opening arguments are scheduled for Wednesday. Both sides seemed to want to start with a blank slate and rejected jurors who had heard much about the case or Clemens himself. When the Eagles fan said during questioning that she didn’t know a thing about baseball, Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin responded, “That’s a plus.” The jury includes a 22-yearold aspiring fashion designer who works two part-time jobs and cares for her young daughter and an older woman who said her three-times-a-week dialysis treatments will not keep her from attending the trial. Another juror is a yoga teacher and lawyer who said she finds U.S. drug laws “a bit heavy-handed.” The two sides threw out the maximum number of 20 people before the jury of 10 women and two men along with four alternates were seated. The jurors themselves
were not told who among them are alternates but they were told to avoid news and sports programs. To keep the panel from encountering the dozens of journalists at the courthouse, the judge told them they will meet off site each day, ride a bus to a back entrance and use nonpublic corridors. They will be served breakfast and lunch in what was once a judge’s chambers so they don’t have to use the cafeteria where reporters, attorneys and Clemens himself take their meals. Clemens sat and watched final jury selection but didn’t weigh in and left it to his lawyers to pick who will decide his fate. His wife, Debbie, was back home in Houston with their sons after being in court last week, Hardin said. She will be a witness in her husband’s defense and will not be allowed to attend the trial until after she testifies, a fact Hardin explained to jurors who might otherwise wonder where she was. Clemens’ attorney Michael Attanasio revealed Tuesday that Clemens plans to begin his defense by questioning if lawmakers’ investigation into whether he used performanceenhancing drugs was proper. Attanasio said the hearing held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in February 2008 had nothing to do with Congress’ responsibility for legislation. He said the hearing was only concerned with airing a “credibility contest” between Clemens and his longtime trainer, Brian McNamee, who said he injected the pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone. Clemens denied those allegations and has been charged with perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress. The obstruction count charges Clemens with making 15 false or misleading statements to the committee, including his repeated denials he didn’t take performance-enhancing drugs during his 24-season career and even whether he attended
a 1998 pool party at Toronto Blue Jays teammate Jose Canseco’s home in Miami. McNamee says he saw Clemens and admitted steroids user Canseco off talking at the party with another man and that after they returned to Canada Clemens asked McNamee to inject him with steroids for the first time. Clemens and Canseco say Clemens was never at the party but was golfing at the time. Attanasio said that dispute suggests how improper the whole inquiry was and that jurors should be able to determine whether a “he said, he said debate” between Clemens and McNamee was a legitimate congressional concern. “We’re going to have a minitrial on whether Roger Clemens went swimming at Mr. Canseco’s house,” Attanasio said. “We’re going to have a trial in U.S. District Court, Congress is going to have a hearing on these things? That’s our point.” Assistant U.S. attorney Daniel Butler responded that the committee has responsibility for oversight that is broad and goes beyond legislation. He said steroids in baseball is a drug matter and pointed out that a 2005 hearing into the issue led to legislation to regulate steroids and triggered Major League Baseball to commission a report by former Sen. George Mitchell into the extent of the problem in the league. The Mitchell report was released in December 2007 and named Clemens and 85 other current and former ballplayers as using drugs. Clemens denied the allegations and Butler pointed out that leaders of the House committee said they needed to investigate Clemens’ denials to determine what weight to give the Mitchell report and its recommendations. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said if “one of the icons of baseball” was taking exception to the Mitchell Report, “it seems to me that Congress has the authority to hold hearings to determine which view is correct.”

The NFL notebook ... ATLANTA — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward had glassy, bloodshot eyes and failed field sobriety tests during a traffic stop in Atlanta that landed him a drunken driving charge, according to a police report released Monday. A transit police officer pulled Ward over just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday after he left his lane and at one point hit a curb in his gray Aston Martin, the report says. The transit police officer called a DeKalb County police officer, who wrote in the report that the former Super Bowl MVP and reigning “Dancing With the Stars” champ smelled strongly of alcohol. Ward told the officer he had had two bottles of Corona beer three hours earlier at an establishment in the city’s Buckhead neighborhood. The officer asked him to get out of the car and administered a series of field sobriety tests, including a hand-held breath test that registered positive for alcohol, the report said. Ward later refused to give a breath sample on a state-administered machine at the DeKalb County jail. Ward swayed back and forth and became agitated during the sobriety tests, the report says. He also could not keep his balance and mixed up and omitted letters in the alphabet. LABOR UPDATE NEW YORK — Think back four months to that disappointing day in March when the NFL lockout began.

But there is serious doubt that a disruption to the preseason can be avoided. Although the regular season still appears safe, the situation isn't as simple as shaking hands and going back to business as usual, even assuming owners and players patched everything up when face-to-face talks resume today — an unlikely scenario. IRVIN’S BROTHER GAY DALLAS — Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin says his womanizing may have stemmed from seeing an older brother whom he idolized dressed as a woman and learning the brother was gay. In the latest issue of Out magazine, Irvin said he was 12 when he discovered his older brother Vaughn's secret life. He said his father told him: "Yes, that's your brother. And you love your brother." The former Dallas Cowboys star now appears on the NFL Network and on his own radio show in Miami. He has supported same-sex marriage on his radio show and has said he's waiting for an active player in the NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL to declare publicly that he is gay. "Until we do that, we're going to be stuck in the Dark Ages about a lot of things," Irvin told the magazine.

Kentucky debacle getting political
T-Wolves fire Rambis Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The longer the Kurt Rambis saga dragged on, the bigger the mess got for president of basketball operations David Kahn and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The organization endured a torrent of criticism nationally for allowing Rambis to twist in the wind, tarnishing the team’s image across the league while many accomplished candidates took other jobs as Kahn mulled the decision. The long expected firing finally was officially announced Tuesday, ending more than three months of uncertainty and awkwardness surrounding the head coach of the worst team in the NBA last season. “People can argue about this should have happened and that should’ve happened, but I think collectively we felt that we were doing the right thing in terms of the way we approached it,” Kahn said. “But I also recognize it took a long time. That’s on me. And I realize that it can look more convoluted and complicated than maybe it really is, and that’s on me. And to that extent I feel badly about that, too, and I apologize for that.” Kahn hired Rambis in 2009 to turn around one of the league’s struggling franchises. But Rambis went 32-132 in his two seasons, including a leagueworst 17-65 in his second year on the job. • CHARLOTTE— With the NBA lockout less than two weeks old, at least two NBA teams have begun cutting staff. One of the first to resort to layoffs: Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats. Radio play-by-play announcer Scott Lauer was one of at least seven employees let go by the Bobcats in the past week. A person familiar with the situation says the Detroit Pistons fired 15 people two weeks ago. The person, who wasn't authorized to speak about the team's moves, spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. The job losses come as NBA owners have locked out the players after failing to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, shutting down the league for what could be a protracted work stoppage that threatens the start of the 2011-12 season. • TIANJIN, China — Kevin Durant isn't ruling out playing basketball abroad next season if the NBA lockout isn't resolved. The Oklahoma City Thunder forward said Tuesday during a promotion-
al tour in China that he thinks more players will follow Deron Williams' example and play overseas if the NBA season is disrupted. Williams has said he will play for Besiktas in Turkey if the lockout remains. • CHICAGO — A person familiar with Joakim Noah's decision says the Chicago Bulls center plans to play for the French national team in the European Championships in Lithuania. France begins play in the European Championships against Latvia on Aug. 31. • HOUSTON — Kevin McHale has added a couple of familiar names to the Houston Rockets coaching staff. Kelvin Sampson and J.B. Bickerstaff will join McHale once teams get back to work.

CARMAUX, France — After all the feuding and hard words, Andre Greipel finally got what he wanted and it had nothing to do with talk: a winning ride in the Tour de France. The German sprinter beat Mark Cavendish — his former teammate and sometimes adversary — by the length of a wheel Tuesday to capture the 10th stage of a three-week race that is soon to leave the flatlands for the perilous climbs of the Pyrenees. Thomas Voeckler of France kept the yellow jersey after nestling safely in the main pack for most of the day. Defending champion Alberto Contador did much the same, and the Spaniard had even more reason to be careful after hurting his right knee during crashes in the fifth and ninth stages.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky’s long-awaited entry into NASCAR’s top series veered into the fast lane of statewide politics Monday after a massive traffic jam during the weekend event left some irate fans stuck in their cars listening to the race on radio. Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams referred to the gridlock that stretched for miles Saturday night as a “debacle” and a national embarrassment for the state. Williams, president of the Kentucky Senate, called for legislative hearings to review the traffic predicament that put a big public relations dent in the race at Kentucky Speedway, near Interstate 71 between Louisville and Cincinnati in northern Kentucky. “I sympathize with the angry people who didn’t get in; I was one of them,” Williams said in a statement. Williams campaign adviser Scott Jennings said Williams was stuck in traffic for six hours trying to get to the race. Gov. Steve Beshear, who traveled to the speedway by helicopter, has touted the coveted Sprint Cup race as an economic boon. Beshear’s support also connected him with a popular sport in Kentucky. Speedway officials and their supporters have been pushing for years to get a Sprint Cup race in Kentucky. Beshear, a Democrat, said Monday that traffic flow was among significant issues to be resolved before next year’s race. Beshear said he was putting together a team of transportation, tourism and state police officials to meet with local and track leaders to make improvements. Beshear spokeswoman Kerri Richardson said the team will be convened in the next few days. “I want to make sure local and track officials have
what they need to best manage future events,” Beshear said in a statement. Richardson said the governor traveled to and from the speedway by helicopter because he performed ceremonial roles during the day that required him to arrive several hours before the race. More than 100,000 packed into the track’s grandstand for the race. But some fans never made it, getting stuck in the bottleneck stretching along I-71 and a state highway that serves as a main artery to the speedway. Frustrated ticketholders lit up social network sites to vent their anger at missing all or part of the event. David Pryor, a fan from Middletown, Ohio, said he and his wife made it to their seats in time to watch the final 20 laps or so, after parking their vehicle on the road and walking about three miles to the track. “Basically got to walk in, sit there for 15 minutes and then walk back out,” he said. “It was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life as far as racing goes. It was just ridiculous.” Pryor put the blame on insufficient parking at the track. He spent about $300 for two tickets that included a hospitality package for food and drinks at the track that he and his wife never got to enjoy. The experience hasn’t soured him on NASCAR, but he vowed to bypass Kentucky Speedway from now on. “I’ll pretty much drive to any track before I’ll drive back to Kentucky,” he said. “They were just so unprepared.” The state said before the race that the speedway could accommodate about 33,000 vehicles in its parking lots. Since 1998, the state has pumped $87.7 million in state and federal highway funds into transportation improvements near the speedway.

Sand in my shoes Sisters excel in beach volleyball Staff report
Emily and Anna Messisco, a home schooled sophomore and junior, took gold at a Carolina Region beach doubles tournament on June 18 after taking silver in a North Carolina Sand Series tournament on June 4. In addition to beach volleyball, they have played indoor for recreation programs, Junior Olympics and school teams. At this level in North Carolina, beach volleyball is an honor game with officials close by to help: • After playing 12 sets on the 18th, during the championship game with the score at 15-16, the official called a side out and gave Emily and Anna the point.

One of their opponents gave a relieved “thank you” as her partner pulled her up out of the sand. Emily and Anna went on to victory with a final score of 25-23. “With a new set of rules, touches, and strategy, it’s a whole different game from indoor, but my girls love it,” says their mom and coach, Leslie Messisco, who played in high school at North Hills. • Beach volleyball is becoming increasingly popular.

ROWAN FROM 1B man Park. The victory kept Rowan in great standing for the forthcoming Area III Championship Series on Saturday. Mocksville would need two wins against RC to keep Rowan from reaching. Rowan’s troubles in the clutch ended in the ninth after Morgan retired the first two batters he faced. Luke Thomas was hit on the first throw he saw and Morgan then followed by throwing balls for eight of the following nine pitches. Nathan Fulbright walked on four pitches to resume the two-out rally and Matt Mauldin hit a 1-0 pitch for an infield single to load ‘em up and bring a enthusiastic home crowd on its feet. “Maybe the fans rattled him,” Gantt said. “It’s been that way all year. The fans don’t let you lose.” Garczynski, already with a threehit night, took three balls before seeing a strike and fouling one off. The
SOUTH FROM 1B Miles hit a sharp grounder up the middle that was retrieved and bobbled by the shortstop Taylor Lane. Lane pitched it to second for the out and Miles appeared to have beaten out the bang-bang play at first, but the boys in blue had another perspective and called him out to complete the twin killing. Lowman ran out to argue but to no avail. South players were shellshocked and infuriated at the call. “It was truly the definition of a bang-bang play,” Lowman said. “I did-
next throw grazed him and ended the game. The old baseball adage says a walk is just as good as a hit, but the hitby-pitch did the trick just as well. “I thought for a THOMAS guy that just finished his 10th-grade year in that pressure situation, Taylor did a great job,” Gantt said. “It’d be easy to swing at some of those balls. It says a lot about his maturity as a player.” “I knew he was coming with fastballs,” Garczynski said. “I was definitely looking for a pitch to hit.” Just days after a flu-dampered performance against Mooresville, Matt Laurens started and threw five innings, giving up two runs. The only major mistake came on Jake Clark’s seventh home run of the season in the third. Robert Deluca and Matt Rembilak then hit singles and Deluca scored on Dylan Pfingst’s hit for a 2-0 Western Forsyth lead. “I think we played our rear ends
n’t think it was definitive either way, out or safe, but we also shouldn’t have let it come to that.” No one felt worse than Bridges, who as a smart player, was apologetic to his teammates as he MILES knew he had a lapse by missing the opportunity to take second on the passed ball. This South team did much more than many people thought they could by winning two games to start the playoffs and made the postseason a thrilling event for the four players that played their final game for Low-
off,” WF coach Kevin McIntosh said. “Five days ago, I don’t know how many people gave us a chance to be playing Rowan County to a 2-2 game in the ninth.” Western starter MAULDIN and N.C. Central pitcher Jacob Russell had a shutout going until the sixth when his first walk of the game to Fulbright spelled doom. Matt Mauldin then drilled a triple down the left-field line to get Rowan on the board and Garczynski got Mauldin home on an infield single. Garczynski stole second with no one out, but Morgan came on and got Dakota Brown to ground into a fielder’s choice before striking out Will Sapp and Justin Morris. Russell’s biggest feat came when he got Brown to ground into a 6-4-3 double play with the bases loaded to cap the fourth. “Morgan got us out of a huge jam there in the sixth,” said McIntosh, whose team was eliminated with the
man. Park, Miles, Dylan Walker and Gunnar Hogan all are done now with Legion, but have nothing to be ashamed of. “I shouldn’t have left those pitches up that they hit out but I PARK was tired after the sixth when coach took me out and it was the right decision to make for the team,” Park said. Of course, in Miles, the program will lose its most prolific offensive player ever, but Tuesday night, the star was more concerned with the team.
defeat. “The ball didn’t bounce our way tonight.” One of those instances came on a line drive from Clark to left field that Mauldin made a diving catch on a leap to MATHIS his left for the second out, robbing Clark of another big hit. Rowan’s Jared Mathis was masterful in relief of Laurens, retiring all nine batters he faced in three innings of work. Mathis threw 28 strikes on 46 total pitches. “Mathis had a great fastball,” Gantt said. “He was getting it in on their hands.” Thomas Allen, now 6-0, threw the ninth and worked around a leadoff single, striking out Andrew Key for the third out with a runner at second. • NOTES: Ethan Free is Rowan’s projected starter tonight. ... Rowan is 2-0 against Mocksville at home this year, shutting them out Monday 5-0 and taking a 4-2 win on June 20.
“I did some great things here but most of all, had fun playing with these guys,” Miles said. “This one will sting for a while and I will remember this game for the rest of WALKER my life. Walker echoed Miles’ sentiments and was equally as disappointed to be done at South. “It sucks to lose like this, but I mean no one expected us to be here and we played better in the playoffs than in the season and I guess we were saving it for the playoffs and it was fun,” Walker said.

National League's Brian Wilson of the san Francisco Giants acknowledges the crowd during introductions for the MLB All-star baseball game tuesday.
Tucson shooting victims honored Associated Press
PHOENIX — Major League Baseball had a special connection to the Tucson shooting that killed six people and wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords this year, a fact that made its pregame ceremonies at the All-Star game Tuesday all the more moving. The youngest of those who died was 9-year-old ChristinaTaylor Green, daughter of Los Angeles Dodgers scout John Green and granddaughter of former major league manager and pitcher Dallas Green. Those killed and the 13 wounded on Jan. 8, their families and a hero from that day were honored at Chase Field. Daniel Hernandez, the intern whose quick actions helped save Giffords’ life, and 85-year-old broadcaster Joe Garagiola Sr. tossed side-byside ceremonial first pitches. Green’s parents and brother quietly delivered lineup cards to the umpires, who
shook hands with each of them. The names of those who died were listed on the ballpark’s giant screen during a moment of silence, a giant U.S. flag spread across the outfield. Survivors and relatives of those shot outside the Arizona supermarket watched from behind the third-base dugout, guests of Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. Hernandez, who had just joined Giffords’ staff, rushed to her after she was shot in the head from close range, keeping her upright and breathing until paramedics arrived. Giffords is undergoing outpatient therapy just outside of Houston for a gunshot wound to the head. She was released from the hospital last month and is staying at astronaut husband Mark Kelly’s home in League City, a town 26 miles south of Houston. She has visited Tucson once since the shooting to celebrate Father’s Day weekend.

Widow thanks Hamilton, Rangers Associated Press
The baseball notebook ... BROWNWOOD, Texas — The widow of the firefighter who fell to his death at a Texas Rangers game says the team, baseball and Josh Hamilton remain precious to her and her 6-yearold son. In a statement released Tuesday, Jenny Stone also thanked everyone who has reached out to help her family since her husband, 39-year-old Shannon Stone, died Thursday night. Among those mentioned were team president Nolan Ryan and a man who helped care for young Cooper the night his father died, and then visited the grieving family on Sunday. “We are also thankful for Nolan Ryan, Josh Hamilton, the Texas Rangers, the Rangers fans, and all baseball fans, which have showed such concern and compassion,” Jenny Stone wrote in her first public comments. “While I was certainly surprised to hear Nolan Ryan on my phone on Friday morning, I was not surprised that he would act just like we all see him, as a true Texas gentleman. Josh Hamilton remains Cooper’s favorite baseball player, the Texas Rangers will always be our team, and baseball will always be our favorite game. ... Shannon loved going to watch the Rangers and he loved Cooper. And, at the very end, he lived life to its fullest, doing something he loved.” Stone lost his balance reaching for a ball thrown by Hamilton — Cooper’s favorite player — and fell headfirst 20
feet onto concrete. He died an hour later. Hamilton, in Phoenix for the AllStar Game, said he plans to reach out to the Stone family at some point. “Obviously, I want it to be personal, face to face,” he said Monday. “I’d love to know what kind of man Mr. Stone was and just meet his wife and his little boy and see where it goes from there. .. Nothing we can do is going to bring him back. But the organization can take care of the family and see that everything is going in the right direction.” Two nights after Stone’s death, Hamilton hit a game-winning, ninth-inning home run for the Rangers, a release of sorts for a man who was once addicted to drugs and lives with an abundance of Christian faith. He was simply tossing the ball toward a fan who had a young boy with him. “Just a random act of kindness turned tragic,” Hamilton said. “It just lets you know how quickly life can change, just in a blink of an eye, that quick.” BAUTISTA PHOENIX — If this is another Year of the Pitcher in another Era of the Pitcher, it hasn't made a difference to the Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista, the most feared hitter in Tuesday night's All-Star Game -- and never mind he didn't make it out of Home Run Derby's first round Monday night. "There's no denying it," Bautista said of baseball's turn from beefed-up hitters to dominant pitchers. "Look at the stats all over, and you come to the con-
clusion the game has changed from the late '90s and early 2000s to now. It's not that we think that. It's what the statistics say. There's no denying it. "All I know is, I feel comfortable coming to the plate, and I've been successful with my game plan the last 21⁄2 years and hope I can remain with that consistency." Bautista is posting numbers that haven't been seen since big leaguers rampantly used performance-enhancing drugs without fear of penalties. Despite missing eight games, he's hitting .334 with 31 homers and 65 RBIs. Since last year's All-Star break, he has homered 61 times. IMMIGRATION PROTESTERS PHOENIX — Critics of a polarizing immigration law in Arizona protested the legislation Tuesday in triple-digit heat outside Major League Baseball's All-Star Game in downtown Phoenix, drawing sideways glances from fans who were more interested in getting to the game. Two separate pro-immigrant groups protested outside of Chase Field before the game, with one quietly passing out white ribbons that symbolized peace and unity and the other loudly chanting in bullhorns and marching in circles with signs that read "Boycott hate" and "Stand with us." SB1070, signed by Gov. Jan Brewer in April, requires all immigrants to obtain or carry immigration registration papers and requires police, while enforcing other laws, to question people's immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion they're in the country illegally.
coming the first Brewers player to homer in an AllStar game. The World Series edge could help him later, with Milwaukee and St. Louis tied for the Central lead at the break. “That was part of the message, how important it was for us, and how important the game was: Do it again for the National League champion,” Bochy said. Fielder, son of former AllStar Cecil Fielder, was booed during the Home Run Derby a day earlier by fans angry he didn’t select Arizona’s Justin Upton. “I didn’t take it personal at all,” Fielder said. “I understood it. no hard feelings.” The NL dashed around the bases and stole three bags, all in one inning. Bell showed some speed, too — the reliever provided the image of the night, sprinting in from the bullpen in the eighth inning and tearing up the turf with a slide just short of the mound. “I think he nailed it,” Brian Wilson said. “I don’t know if I’d make it. I think I’d slip, ankle, flip, next thing you know I can’t pitch.” In all, the Nationals have enjoyed their best run since taking three in a row from 1994-96 — they had lost 12 straight games played to a decision before a 3-1 victory at Anaheim last year. Andre Ethier and Pablo Sandoval also drove in runs for the NL. Before a crowd of 47,994 that included Muhammad Ali, this was no desert classic — except for fans of pitching, which has become resurgent as the Steroids Era has receded. Scoring in the first half of this season dropped to its lowest level in 19 years and the major league batting average shrunk to its smallest midseason figure since 1985. The home runs were the first in the All-Star game since J.D. Drew connected at Yankee Stadium three years ago. The AL finished with six hits for the second straight year. Given the temperature outside, the theme song for this game could have been the Buster Poindexter song “Hot Hot Hot.” And except for Lee, that’s what the NL pitching was. Bochy of the Giants became a winner in his second All-Star try, following a defeat in 1999, and his closer Wilson, the 10th NL pitcher, got two outs for the save. Texas’ C.J. Wilson, the fourth AL pitcher, took the loss for the team run

While it was hot outside in the Sonoran Desert, it was a comfy 72 thanks to an 8,000ton cooling system in the ballpark, where the roof has remained closed for games since June 17. It was the first game here in the national spotlight since the famous Game 7 comeback by the Diamondbacks over the Yankees in the 2001 World Series, a factoid referenced at the start of the pregame introductions. In a modern stadium with an old-fashioned keyhole dirt path between the mound and the plate, there were flickers of sunlight shining through glass panels in the roof when Halladay started Curtis Granderson off with a 91 mph pitch. Once again, pitchers dominated early. “I figured a lot of those guys were going to be swinging early,” Halladay said. Showing the strength that has given Philadelphia the best record in the majors, Halladay retired six straight batters — the first to do that in an All-Star game since Roger Clemens in 2001. Lee, his Phillies teammate, followed and set down his first five hitters. Halladay, who started for the AL in 2009, joined Vida Blue, Clemens and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to open for both leagues. “It was nice to have Cliff come in right behind me,” Halladay said. “I know Cole (Hamels) wanted to be there too.” Gonzalez stepped up in the fourth and lined an 86 mph cutter just to the rightfield side of the swimming pool, where women in bikinis and a man in a Santa Claus outfit were watching. There’s some history here — Gonzalez is 7 for 13 with four extra-base hits against Lee in games that count. Jose Bautista singled on a popup behind first that Fielder dropped and advanced on Josh Hamilton’s broken-bat single before Beltre singled sharply to left. Hunter Pence, who entered at the start of the inning, threw a strike to catcher Brian McCann well in time for the tag.

The property to be offered pursuant to this notice of sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance "AS IS, WHERE IS." Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the note secured by the deed of trust/security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor the officers, directors, attorneys, employees, agents or authorized representative of either the Trustee or the holder of the note make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at or relating to the property being offered for sale, and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition expressly are disclaimed. Also, this property is being sold subject to all taxes, special assessments, and prior liens or encumbrances of record and any recorded releases. Said property is also being sold subject to applicable Federal and State laws. A cash deposit or cashier's check (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale. An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy. THIS IS A COMMUNICATION FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR.

Cause for jaw swelling unknown Dear Dr. Gott: I am an active 90-year-old man with a large garden, yard, and a couple of fruit trees. Yes, I was raised on a farm. In April 2009, I woke up one morning with a swelling in my left jaw and cheek. I went to my family doctor for an examination. He suggested I go to the local dentist for an X-ray, which I did. The dentist said it acted like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder but he doubted it, so he gave me some Diflunisal. Later DR. PETER that week, I went for two GOTT chiropractic treatments, and in a week the swelling was gone. I had no problem except for numbness in my back lower jaw. Then in April this year, the numbness moved forward on my jaw and to the side of my face again. I contacted an ENT specialist, who gave me a CT scan. He reported nothing wrong with my sinuses and said I was just going to have to live with it. The numbness increased and moved to under my nose. Seeking relief, I went for six acupuncture treatments that gave temporary relief. I went to a TMJ sleep specialist, who took X-rays of my teeth and bite pattern. Naturally, the left side showed very little bite pressure. The numbness went up to my cheekbone and around my eye. With no definite conclusion, he suggested I consult a
neurologist, who sent me for an MRI that was negative. He gave me a prescription for gabapentin, which does subdue the numb feeling. My medications are metoprolol, Doxazosin and Lisinopril, vitamin D3, vitamin E, fish oil and flaxseed oil, plus a general group of vitamins a couple of times a week. I know this letter is long, but any relief you can provide would certainly be appreciated. Dear Reader: This is puzzling. My guess is the swelling might be caused by an allergy or infection, yet you have already seen every specialist that might zero in on your complaint. April appears to be your weak month, which makes me wonder if you are allergic to something that begins to sprout at that time, to sprays you use early in the season, or to fertilizer you inhale while preparing your crops. am also apprehensive regarding your use of overthe-counter medications. Herbs and supplements are not regulated the way prescription drugs are. You may be allergic to one specific ingredient in your “general group” without even knowing it. Did you switch brands, purchase from a different supplier or increase any dosing? You don’t appear to exhibit the common signs of TMJ, so I think we can rule that out. Do you practice good dental hygiene and visit your dentist on a timely basis? X-rays should have ruled out possible abscesses. Gather all your test results from your cadre of physicians
and return to your primary care physician, who should review everything to determine what is missing in the big picture. Something (perhaps a very simple something) is being overlooked that might provide you the relief you need. Be sure to review all your medications with him or her. It may be that more than one doctor is involved with your care, and your primary care physician doesn’t have a complete listing. Cross-over reactions are possible. A referral to another neurologist may be in order. Gabapentin works to block nerve signals and you have had positive results, which indicates a likely nerve problem. Perhaps you are experiencing an unusual case of trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve disorder characterized by sharp pains in parts of the face.

Wednesday, July 13 In the year ahead there are some strong indications that some friends will play key roles in your affairs, not only socially, but businesswise as well. Be friendly to all, because you don’t know which ones will step up and open those doors. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Treat everyone you’re around as someone special and it’ll add a luster to your personality you couldn’t manufacture. Make popularity your goal. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Lady Luck always tags onto tenacity of purpose, so unless you don’t want her in your life, do whatever you can to make what you want happen. The harder you try, the better your chances. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Good things happen when we get out and do what we can to socialize with others. You might even be able to make a new friend who’ll become special in your life. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Some kind of better shift in conditions is developing for you, of which you might not initially be aware. As time passes, however, it will become abundantly clear to you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There are strong indications that something you’re tying to do cannot be accomplished alone. If you’re having trouble tackling an important project, keep this in mind and get a partner. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — By thinking in positive terms or using constructive measures to fulfill a material hope or expectation, a sizeable profit can be realized. Don’t let yourself get dragged down by a naysayer. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You should try to make things happen instead of waiting for them to occur. Enterprises or endeavors you originate and personally control have strong possibilities of becoming realities. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Even if you are a trifle bit slow in revving up some steam to get yourself going, once you get started, there will be no holding you back. You could be an amazing finisher. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is likely to be some strong justification for you feeling a bit fortunate. Dame Fortune won’t do the job for you, but she will help you to get on a roll and pull things off. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you’re designing something you hope could generate a profit, once your plans are solidified, don’t sit on them. Delay won’t help; only action will make things happen. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Get out and mingle if you can, because you could run into someone who belongs to a group you’re longed to join. When you start interacting, others will interact with you. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Instead of trying to make things happen, let life take its own course of events. Lady Luck is likely to do a far better job for you than you can yourself.

Listen to find the best lead BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
A.N. Other said, “My wife says I never listen to her. At least I think that's what she said.” It’s lucky he stayed anonymous; otherwise, she would have surely become his ex-wife. But as I have been stressing this week, to find the best opening lead, you must listen to the bidding. Look at the West hand. What would you lead against four spades? Your first thought might have been the club jack. But analyze the auction for a few moments. North responded in diamonds and South raised the suit. Together, they have eight or nine diamonds. So, your partner has at most one diamond. And you have two fast en-
tries: the heart ace and spade ace. Lead the diamond eight, hoping partner can ruff immediately; but at the worst, he will have a singleton, you will take the first trump trick, and he will ruff the second diamond. Why do you select the eight? Whenever you hope you are giving partner a ruff, your card sends a suit-preference signal, telling partner which of the other two side suits to return. Here, because you have the higher-ranking heart ace, you lead your highest diamond. As you can see, everything works perfectly. East ruffs, puts you in with a heart, and gets a second ruff. Later, the spade ace results in down one. Did you think that you should have doubled four spades? That is all right if they sit for it, but if an opponent runs to five diamonds,
Judge grants Halle Berry restraining order against Richard Franco LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has ordered a man arrested outside Halle Berry’s home to stay at least 100 yards away from the Oscarwinning actress and her daughter. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Goodson issued the order Tuesday, hours after police arrested Richard Franco for climbing over a locked security gate at Berry’s Hollywood Hills home Monday night. In the court filings,
Berry writes about three instances since Saturday when the 27-year-old came into her yard, including one incident in which he nearly followed her into her kitchen. The actress then hired off-duty police officers who were able to arrest Franco around 11:30 p.m. Monday. He remains jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail. A hearing on whether to extend the order for three years on Aug. 1.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms will persist in multiple areas of the United States on Wednesday, while the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley will see slightly cooler temperature. A low pressure system over Montana will push a frontal boundary through the Northern Plains kicking up showers and thunderstorms. In addition, low pressure spinning over Kansas will continue to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the Central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley. This system will be associated with strong winds, heavy rain, and possible hail. At the same time, low pressure off the coast of Maine will push a cold front through the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states cooling temperatures by about 10 degrees. This cold front will also trigger thunderstorms over parts of the Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic. Meanwhile, high pressure will build over the Great Lakes bringing sunny and dry conditions through most of the Northeast. To the south, warm, moist air from the Gulf Of Mexico will continue to be pushed onshore triggering storm systems over the South and southern Florida. The South and Southeast will continue to see hot and humid weather with high temperatures near 100 degrees and heat indices up to 115 degrees. In the West, monsoon moisture will persist for the Southwest triggering scattered showers over most of the Four Corners. In addition, the rotation of a low pressure system over British Colombia will push moderate to light rainfall across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. However, California and Nevada will see mostly sunny and dry conditions with low clouds and fog along the California coastline.
