Loose bricks close courthouse parking lot Lightning strike suspected to be culprit B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

The parking lot behind the Rowan County Courthouse is empty after county maintenence personnel found a crack in the back wall of the structure, causing the brick to separate from the building.

“Structurally, it’s nothing for the people inside the building to worry about, it’s not going to collapse or anything like that,” County Man-

ager Gary Page said. “It’s more of a risk if the bricks continue to separate because at some point they could break off and fall.”

Page said the Council Street lot was emptied Tuesday after the crack was found by maintenance workers who were originally dispatched to fix a leak reported by a courthouse employee Monday.

“The brick is pulled away from the building and when it rains, it was starting to cre-

ate a leak on the third floor,” he said.

Clerk of Court Jeff Barger, whose office is inside the courthouse, said he’s glad the problem was spotted sooner rather than later.

“It’s lucky they found it before it became dangerous,” he said.

Page said the area is completely blocked off right now, but once Bradshaw Construction builds scaffolding to isolate the damage, courthouse employees will regain access

to the building’s back door.

“We dont’ want anybody getting hit in the head with a brick,” Page said. “The scaffolding should be able to keep people at a safe distance.”

The county’s risk manager will continue to monitor the area for safety as repair work begins.

The bricks that are starting to pull away from the wall will be removed and that portion of the wall recon-

Davis served as town manager in China Grove for five years.

As the second city manager in China Grove’s history, Davis weathered storms including an effort to force him out in summer 2007.

In June of that year, a majority of the town board wanted Davis out, some citing what they perceived as his lack of skill in dealing with the public and for making decisions without consulting the board.

However, other town officials, including Mayor Don Bringle, praised Davis. For-

But she was, once.

In the summer of 1966, she entered Woman’s College of Greensboro (now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro) as an organ major, having never had a lesson on the instrument.

Her professor accepted her on probation. She laid out a plan that Merrell was to follow for the next nine months.

By spring, Merrell was to play a Bach Chorale.

“And I did it,” Merrell says. “By memory. Pedal and all.”

A curious thing had happened the first time she sat down on the organ bench.

The man charged in the shooting deaths of two people following a dispute outside a downtown bar June 27 is scheduled to be in court Monday for a hearing on whether he will face the death penalty if convicted.

John Curtis Lambert, 31, of China Grove, is charged with murder in the deaths of LAMBERT L a r r y Thomas Andrews Jr. and Mickey Wayne Jordan.

The shootings occurred around 2 a.m. June 27 on North Main Street at the

downtown square.

Salisbury Police said the shooting followed a dispute in a local bar over a pool table.

Police said Lambert was thrown out of the bar and waited two hours to settle the score, pulling up beside Jordan’s vehicle and opening fire as he left Bench Warmers with friends.

Investigators say Jordan, 29, was Lambert’s target in the shooting. Jordan sustained several gunshot wounds but lived until July 7.

Andrews, a passenger in Jordan’s vehicle, died at the scene.

Lambert will also be arraigned Monday, meaning he will have an opportunity to enter a plea in the case.

Wineka column: An afternoon reading with Mrs. Dora Mrs. Dora’s “office” is a laundry room off the kitchen of her home at 1815 E. Innes St. in Salisbury.

We sat at the corner of a card table, our metal folding chairs facing each other.

The table held tarot cards, a crystal for crystal readings and what seemed to be many candles, crosses MARK and depictions of WINEKA the madonna — though I tried to rein in my reporter instincts as much as possible.

You see, Mrs. Dora had laid

out some pretty tough ground rules. No photographs. No note taking. Her readings were serious.

Though I tried to cull some background on Mrs. Dora — things such as her real name, whether she worked elsewhere, how long she has been a spiritual adviser and all that — she deflected the questions.

She was satisfied to say she had been a spiritual adviser for “a long time,” the same answer she gave when I asked how long she had lived in Salisbury.

For several years before moving to this location, Mrs. Dora had a similar sign and offered readings from her home on U.S. 29 near the late Dr. Ted James’ veterinary office.

I always wanted to stop in and have a personal reading, just out of curiosity, and I finally called and made an appointment for Thursday afternoon. She had reading price ranges between $25 and $55.

Figuring this would be my first and last meeting with a spiritual adviser, I told her I wanted “the works.”

“Find guidance and truth in your questions of love, business, marriage and affairs of life,” the little slip of paper says.

It also notes that she is available for private parties.

As a load of clothes tumbled in the background, my reading began. She asked me to shuffle the large stack of tarot cards three times, which proved to be an awkward assignment, given the gigantic size of the cards.

I also had to make two wishes, one which I would tell her and one which I would keep to myself.

After that, I had to say my full name and my birth date out loud.

UNC changes health insurance over abortion

DORA FROM 1a more often.

The future looks good for my two sons. Some kind of important trip seems to be looming in my future.

I have three lucky days to look forward to next month: Sept. 10, 19 and 22.

On Sept. 10, I should expect a telephone call from someone in my past. On Sept. 19, an important letter is coming my way, and it will have some kind of connection to Sept. 22.

Mrs. Dora told me not to forget these lucky days.

As we went along, Mrs. Dora made four approximate piles of cards on the corner of the table, pausing at times to study each new message.

She stopped to answer her cell phone twice. The only other interruption came when a grandchild banged on the door and asked for “Mimi.”

Mrs. Dora constantly saw news in my cards and, overall, it was good news. I think she said I had a lot of “bright” cards and a “beautiful reading.”

Judge’s departure means one more election RALEIGH (AP) — As state Court of Appeals Judge Jim Wynn moves to the federal appellate bench this week, it means North Carolina voters could choose his replacement in November using a form of voting rarely seen in the United States.

Wynn’s swearing-in to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals creates a vacancy on North Carolina’s 15member intermediate appeals court. Wynn was confirmed by the U.S. Senate late last week.

Gov. Beverly Perdue can name Wynn’s replacement to serve until the end of the year. State law requires voters to choose a successor in November to begin a new eight-year term. Four other Court of Appeals seats also are up for re-election this fall.

If at least three candidates file for Wynn’s old seat, the election winner would be counted using instant runoff voting. Voters would rank the candidates in order of preference.

If no candidate receives a majority of the firstchoice votes, election officials turn to the ballots of voters whose first-choice candidate was eliminated and count the votes for the two top votegetters.

of any previous complaints.

Concerns were raised after the optional nature of coverage ended at large campuses UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State University. The board agreed last year to narrow coverage disparities from school to school and reduce premiums where costs could exceed $1,000 annually.

More than 90,000 students have declined to purchase the UNC campus policy so far. Proof of insurance is needed

by Sept. 30 to waive the university policy.

“Our lone goal in developing the new plan was to provide better health care coverage for our students at a lower cost,” Worthington wrote in an e-mail.

Removing the elective abortion coverage won’t lower the premium because it had no effect on raising it, Worthington said.

Jordon Greene, a 22-year-old senior at UNC-Charlotte, said he couldn’t afford to pay for alternatives to the university-sponsored policy he’s examined that would either have premiums hundreds of dollars more expensive a year or lower coverage levels.

“I’m thrilled that they’ve made that decision,” said Greene, a leader in his school’s Students for Life group. “That’s at least a step in the right direction.”

Hawkins said later Thursday her group wants abortion removed from the UNC system coverage and will continue an electronic petition and e-mail drive. Hawkins and Greene argue federal grant money for students appear to be used to help pay for the abortion coverage.

I wasn’t going to face any terrible health issues, and the timing of my “Wheel of Fortune” card was good, meaning some unexpected cash might be headed my way.

Mrs. Dora is a warm, engaging person. I told her she should have gone to school to be a psychiatrist, or psychologist, then I winced, hoping I hadn’t insulted her spiritual talents.

She accepted that I was going to write about our meeting and asked only that I keep our more personal conversation private, which I am. Our session lasted 45 minutes.

The six cards I held at the end were my question cards. As I handed her a card, I could ask a question.

Since Mrs. Dora was a spiritual adviser, the first question I asked was otherworldly: Would I ever see my late parents again?

“Yes,” Mrs. Dora said, leaning back and smiling broadly.

You know, I believed her.

DAVIS FROM 1a mer town board member Barbara Doby said at the time he had brought the town’s finances out of the red and into prosperity.

Supporters mounted a campaign to keep Davis and collected more than 300 signatures on a petition.

A week or so after getting a contract extension from the China Grove Board of Aldermen in August 2007, however, Davis resigned his $60,000-a-year post to take the Mount Holly job.

He was forced to resign from that position in February, Mount Holly town officials said in published reports.

Those choices are added to the original counts of the two leaders. The candidate with the most combined votes is the winner.

Several cities nationwide — including Cary and Hendersonville — have experimented with instant runoff voting in recent years to avoid costly traditional runoff elections in which a small fraction of voters turn out. While the ranking concept was used by a few states about 100 years ago, its use ended in the 1930s, according to FairVote, a nonprofit election reform group. No state has used it since then for a statewide race, FairVote Executive Director Rob Richie said.

“The full-fledged ranking of candidates had not been done in a long time,” Richie said in a phone interview.

The General Assembly created the process for judicial elections following a vacancy after eight people ran for the seat opened when Justice Bob Orr left the state Supreme Court in summer 2004. Paul Newby won the seat after receiving only 23 percent of the ballots. Wynn finished second.

This method, according to supporters, would ensure the winner had the support of a majority of voters. In-

Davis had apparently been the subject of a closed meeting on Feb. 23. A councilman told the Gaston Gazette there was no evaluation of Davis but a discussion and general consensus to fire him.

The councilman said Davis was given the option to resign and offered a severance package.

Davis has 18 years of experience in public administration, all of it in North Carolina. Though his past employment has primarily been as a town manager, the press release issued by Kannapolis said he has had daily oversight of finances in those communities.

Davis has experience in budgeting, forecasting and securing loans for capital projects, the press release said.

stant runoff opponents say the process is confusing to voters, requires intense voter education and opens the count to potential mischief.

State elections director Gary Bartlett said staff members are preparing for the race as if instant runoff voting will occur. A oneweek candidate filing period for the seat is expected to begin later this month. At least one candidate, Raleigh attorney Chris Dillon, has already announced his intent to run.

If no candidate wins a majority outright and instant runoff voting is used, it likely will mean voters won’t know the winner until a few days after Election Day, Bartlett said. That’s because most ballots will have to be counted again, whether by hand or through an optical scan machine, to identify the rankings for the race. The state’s touchscreen machines — used by about 40 percent of the voters — can be reprogrammed to count ranked ballots, but Bartlett said he’s unsure whether that will be recommended to the board.

“This will be a massive undertaking,” he said. “We will have to have an intense education effort, not only for the election officials but also for the voters.”

“I am very much looking forward to working in Kannapolis,” Davis said in the press release. “Mike Shinn and his staff have done a tremendous job over the last 25 years, and I am eager to start the next era of the city’s Finance Department.”

Davis was selected after a search process that yielded more than 100 applicants and

resulted in seven finalists for the position.

Davis holds both a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s in public administration from Appalachian State University.

He is also a graduate of the Public Executive Leadership Academy at the University of North Carolina School of Government.

Page said the crack was unusual in the fact that it did not start off small and gradually grow.

“We didn’t notice it until we saw it,” he said.

Barger said the county’s response to the damage was very timely.

“They jumped right on it,” he said.

RALEIGH (AP) — The University of North Carolina will allow students to delete coverage for elective abortions from their school-sponsored health insurance policies after an anti-abortion group said it would force them to choose between a college education and their consciences.

UNC system President Erskine Bowles on Thursday directed a student insurance company to contact students who have bought a policy this fall and give them the chance to opt out of that coverage, system spokeswoman Joni Worthington said.

The UNC Board of Governors decided last summer to require about 200,000 students on its 16 campuses this fall to have health insurance. The coverage can be private or government-backed or through a university-backed plan, whose premiums range from $610 to $750 per year, tacked on to tuition.

Students for Life of America, which trains and works with more than 500 campus groups nationwide, started a petition drive this week demanding the board remove the abortion provision.

Group Executive Director Kristan Hawkins said in an interview that students opposed to abortion shouldn’t be required to pay for coverage that runs counter to their beliefs.

Eleven campuses already had a policy last year requiring proof or purchase of insurance in order to enroll. The other five had voluntary plans. All but one school — North Carolina Central University in Durham — included the elective abortion coverage last year, Worthington said. She said she was unaware

UNC professor speaks at Catawba about effects of ozone on asthma

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Shavonne pottS/SAliSbury PoST

Dr. David Peden speaks at the Center for the Environment at Catawba College.

Michelle Smerek has asthma, and so does her 8-year-old son.

She’s always heard about ozone’s effect on people with asthma but wasn’t quite sure of its impact on her health.

She knows now. She was one of about 30 health professionals, students and community leaders who attended a Thursday lecture at the Center for the Environment at Catawba College featuring Dr. David Peden, who spoke about the health effects of ozone and asthma.

Peden is a professor of pedimedicine and atrics, microbiology/immunology and toxicology at the University of North

Carolina in Chapel Hill. He is also director of the Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma and Lung Biology and is chief of the Division of Allergy, Immunology, Rheumatology and Infectious Disease.

Peden is principal investigator for an ongoing study, “Human Health Effects of Environmental Pollutants,” which is a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Peden discussed how studies, some as recent as 2007, are trying to determine whether or not air pollutants worsen asthma, how air pollutants might worsen asthma and if there are vitamins or other supplements that would help asthmatics who may be exposed to pollutants breathe easier.

Many things can trigger an asthma attack, and pollution is just one.

Other triggers are allergens such as mold and pollen, irritants such as smoke, sensitivity to some medications, stress and exercise.

Asthmatics exposed to polluted air can have asthma attacks within 24 hours after exposure, Peden said.

He also talked about how ground-level or “bad” ozone is a pollutant that poses a significant health risk for people with asthma.

Peden said with cities growing, more people are exposed to higher levels of pollutants.

A study Peden mentioned exposed participants to low-level pollutants to examine their body’s reaction.

“We looked at people who had

allergies but who did not have asthma and people who had allergies and asthma,” he said.

He asked the audience who had asthma or was a caregiver for someone with asthma. About 25 percent of the people in the room raised their hands.

“I moved here about two, three years ago from Seattle. I had no idea about the air quality in this area,” Smerek said.

The Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan area was ranked 10th in the nation for most ozonepolluted cities in a study by the American Lung Association released earlier this year.

Smerek said she was particularly interested in what role she could

Police: Teen beaten with baseball bat

BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Police say a feud between two teenage girls came to a head with a baseball bat beating on the side of Statesville Boulevard Wednesday night.

Salisbury Police Lt. Alan Armour said the two 19-year-olds, Keyosha Wansley and Shanice Graham, were driving in opposite directions on Statesville Boulevard around 8 p.m. and stopped when they spotted each other.

Graham parked directly in front of Salisbury Fire Department’s Station Four and crossed the highway, where Wansley was waiting with a baseball bat in hand, Armour said.

Graham saw the bat in Wansley’s hands but continued toward her rival anyway, he said.

Armour said Wansley smacked Graham in the head with the bat, knocking her to the ground. Once Graham was on the ground, Wansley struck her three or four more times, got back into her vehicle and left the scene.

Firefighters and residents of the West Manor apartments witnessed the attack and called police.

Graham was conscious when police arrived.

She described her attacker and was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

When police arrived at Wansley’s West Manor apartment, she came out and told the officers she was the one they were looking for and claimed Graham had harassed her for some time.

Wansley was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and placed in jail under a $500 secured bond.

Noah’s Playloft students raise money for school supplies

Stolen trailers found in man’s yard ENOCHVILLE — Authorities say they responded to a tip about a stolen utility trailer Wednesday and discovered numerous other stolen trailers and other property at a home on Georgia Avenue.

They say the resident there, David Reese Hinson, planned to take the stolen property to Florida and sell it.

Someone reported Wednesday that Hinson had a stolen utility trailer in his yard at 7860 Georgia Ave., a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office press release said.

Detectives responded and discovered a small utility trailer that had been stolen from the China Grove area last HINSON weekend. They also found numerous other utility trailers on the property and discovered they had also been stolen from various locations around southern Rowan County since early July 2010, according to the press release.

Three more trailers on Hinson’s property had been reported stolen from Cabarrus County and another had been stolen from a Kannapolis resident who hadn’t yet discovered the theft, the press release said.

As detectives sorted through the stolen trailers, others located Hinson and took him into custody.

An ice-cold cup of lemonade is always a welcome refreshment on a hot summer day and Thursday, those who enjoyed a cup from Noah’s Playloft Preschool were sipping for a cause.

Students set up a lemonade stand in front of the school at 305 S. Link Ave. to earn money to purchase school supplies for Communities in

Schools, a nonprofit dropout prevention organization.

They sold the beverage from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and headed back out from 3 to 4 p.m.

“We’re going to go on a field trip to Food Lion or Walgreen to buy the supplies,” codirector Dominique Abram said.

Abram and teachers Cassandra Smith, Jasmine Skeem, Jenny Peralta and Carolyn Thompson got children excited by waving to

passing cars and cheering “fresh lemonade.”

Students at the preschool made combined freshsqueezed and Kool-Aid lemonade to create a thirstquenching treat.

“We thought it would be a good experience for the children,” Smith said.

No price was set for the lemonade. Instead, those who stopped by provided donations.

The lemonade stand raised

more than $70 Thursday and the teachers and children are hoping to raise even more money for supplies next week.

The class of 4-year-olds and their teachers will host a bake sale from 9 to 11 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m. Thursday.

Southern City Tabernacle A.M.E. Zion Church and the Paul Laurence Dunbar Center are hosting a community fest Aug. 21 to include free haircuts for boys and hair styles for girls, as well as a school-supplies and clothing giveaway.

The Saturday event will also include a basketball tournament, free food, other entertainment

and a gang- and violence-prevention forum.

The event is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Dunbar Center and the church. Both are on North Long Street in East Spencer.

The event is being organized by the Men’s Mentoring Com-

munity Ministry, an outreach that promotes positive development in the lives of young people.

This festival event is the second phase of the ministry. In the first phase, organizers had the “look better, feel better, per-

form better” project, where 50 young boys received free haircuts. The boys not only got haircuts, they also got to see entrepreneurship modeled by barber shop owners.

The upcoming event will provide more than just haircuts.

“Our goal is to provide free haircuts and school supplies to prepare students for the upcoming school year,” said organizer Michael Mitchell.

Organizers ask for monetary donations to support this event.

Center for the Environment receives grant Center for the Environment

The Center for the Environment at Catawba College has received a $184,000 grant from the N.C. Energy Office’s Student Energy Internship and Fellowship Program to launch the Catawba College Energy Corps.

It was one of 23 private businesses, public agencies and public and private universities to receive a combined $5.6 million from the N.C. Energy Office for the program, which was funded with money from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The grant to the center will be used to facilitate the placement of as many as 17 students or recent graduates in on-the-job internships and fellowships. The individuals, who will be selected from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, will work with businesses and organizations in the energy sector that are considered to be at the forefront of the state’s transition toward sustainability. The partnering organizations are located in western and Piedmont North Carolina.

“This program has great potential, not only for the students in the program, but also for our state,” says John Wear, the center’s executive director. “We are most grateful to the N.C. State Energy Office for funds that will allow us to offer these invaluable learning opportunities.

“We believe the project will lead to opportunities for

more permanent employment in the field for these students,” Wear says. “This, in turn, will enhance our state’s efforts to build and retain the talent base of renewable energy professionals necessary to support a thriving green economy.”

The Catawba Energy Corps will facilitate the placement of interns and fellows with 11 partnering green energy-related business and organizations: Calor Energy Consulting in Charlotte, Southern Energy Management in Morrisville, TectaAmerica Carolinas in Indian Trail, Sundance Power Systems in Weaverville, Beaver Brothers in Salisbury, Catawba College, gDwell, Inc., in Charlotte, O2Energies in Cornelius, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury, Centralina Council of Governments in Charlotte and Davidson County Community College in Mocksville.

“The diversity of partnering businesses and organizations reflects the equally diverse needs and roles to be filled as we seek sustainability in energy,” says Dr. Rick Stephens, Catawba College provost. “This means we ultimately need both broadly informed generalists, as well as professionally pre-

pared specialists to address the host of social, economic and technological challenges before us. This is clearly at the heart of Catawba College’s mission and the Center for the Environment’s particular role in this region.”

Fellows in the program must have completed either an associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree within the past three years. They will be employed 40 hours a week for a minimum of one year. Interns must have completed or be enrolled in a degree program. The number of hours and duration of their assignment will vary, depending on their course load.

Both the fellows and the interns will help facilitate reductions in energy consumption, which will favorably affect air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

They will help implement recommended measures like increased efficiency, conservation and a shift to renewable energy resources and systems.

“This grant expands our ability to educate the energy leaders of tomorrow,” says Jay Laurens, the center’s director of resource development. “We couldn’t be more pleased.”

During their investigation, detectives discovered Hinson was also a resident of Florida, and they say he had planned to take the stolen property to Florida to sell.

Rowan investigators discovered other utility trailers have been taken to Florida in the past, and they’re working with law enforcement in Florida to recover them.

Hinson was charged with seven counts of felony larceny and four counts of felony

possession of stolen property. He was placed in the Rowan County jail under $75,000 bond. He was not listed among the inmates at the jail Thursday night.

ter an allergic reaction.

After a person with asthma is exposed to an environmental pollutant, that person is more likely to have an allergic reaction to whatever it is they are allergic to, Peden aid.

For instance, an asthmatic exposed to air pollution who is also allergic to dust mites is more apt to have a reaction.

There is a study about the benefits of sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli sprouts, on reducing inflammation in asthmatics.

“This is still under investigation,” he said.

Peden also discussed how a city could help asthma sufferers by changing traffic patterns.

An example, he said, was

the 1996 Atlanta summer Olympics where the city took measures to reduce traffic, including providing aroundthe-clock public transportation.

The result was marked declines in ozone and other air pollutants known to trigger asthma attacks.

During the time traffic was reduced, the rate of childhood asthma episodes that required emergency room visits decreased dramatically, he said.

He encouraged people to talk to their city officials about implementing permanent changes that would have great impact on asthma sufferers.

Dawn Merrell, left, works with Judy Chapman at the organ at Haven Lutheran Church.

PASSION FROM 1A was Sept. 24, 1967, on an electrified pump organ at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, which at the time was meeting in a grange hall. She served about a year as organist of Lutheran Church of Our Father in Greensboro. She was hired as fulltime organist for St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, China Grove, in May 1970, just before she graduated from college.

Those first two churches, she says, honed her skills for full-time work. She quickly realized the organist can make or break a church service.

Three months after graduation, she married Frank Merrell. They’d met in Spartanburg, when Frank’s uncle attended Dawn’s father’s church.

When Union Lutheran needed a new preacher, Frank’s uncle suggested Dawn’s father, and that’s how the Frick family came to Rowan County.

“I just thought he was a neat per-

son,” Dawn says of her husband of nearly 40 years. “Frank stays on a level plane all the time.”

He’s weathered many a “Frick fit” over the years.

“He is my calming force,” Dawn says. “He’s just always been there.”

“I don’t pay attention to her,” Frank says with confidence. “She’ll calm down.”

Dawn stayed at St. Mark’s until she and Frank decided to start a family, substituting as an organist for various churches. Franz was born in 1977, followed by Judson in 1980. Dawn served at Union Lutheran Church from 1979 to 1995; New Hope, Kannapolis from 1995 to 1999; and Haven from 2000 until her retirement.

Dawn and Frank had been talking about her retirement for a couple of years. When granddaughter Addison was born nearly three years ago, the idea crystallized.

Dawn found an organ student to take over her playing and a prospect for her handbell choir. Her last Sunday was June 6. She notes there will be no major festival Sundays until Reformation Sunday in October.

“It all kind of fell into place,” she says.

For her last Sunday, she chose three of her favorite hymns: “When in our music God is glorified,” “Praise to the Lord,” “Lord thee I love with all my heart.”

As to her favorite organ music, Dawn loves anything Bach.

“Franz’s goal was to get me out of the 17th Century,” she says. “He never made it.”

She loves Buxtehude, a predecessor to Bach. Her two most absolute favorite Bach pieces are “Prelude and Fugue in D” and “Oh man bewail thy grievous sins.”

She kept playing when Franz was

diagnosed with lymphoma in May 2001, through those 10 months until his death the following March.

“Playing for me was my mind cleansing,” Dawn says, “my ‘me moment.’ You have to have that.”

She found solace in the music.

Music was what drew her to her sons.

The family was typically apart on Christmas Eve. One year, Dawn was in Kannapolis, Judson was at Union playing handbells, and Frank and Franz were in North Wilkesboro at a Presbyterian church, where Franz was playing trumpet. They all made it back home around 2 in the morning on Christmas Day. But, Dawn says, “We were all doing what we felt called to do.”

On Christmas Eve 2000, Dawn was at Haven and Franz was again in North Wilkesboro. But they all managed to meet at Haven’s late service that year.

“You have to love it,” Dawn says of being a church musician. “You have to give up a lot.”

She’s never had a festival Sunday off — she’s played at Christmas, at Easter, at Reformation.

Now she can take a Sunday off.

In June, she gathered with her Frick cousins. In July, she played for Judson, a pastor in Boiling Springs, S.C. He’s been ordained for three years and it was the first time his parents heard him preach.

For Dawn, it was a humbling, proud moment — one she doesn’t quite know how to put into words.

“You see this person, and you have these flashbacks,” she says.

“You see the baby and the little boy who sometimes got into trouble.

Everyone else sees the minister, but that is your baby.”

She and Frank, who works at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, also have a big garden.

“If it can be grown,” Dawn says, “it can be put up.”

Besides an abundance of flowers, they grow corn, beans, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and peas.

Dawn preserves all of these vegetables, and makes tomato soup, salsa and jellies.

“She loves the earth,” says Rob Durocher, director of music ministries at St. John’s Lutheran Church. He raves about her breakfast casserole and peanut soup.

Dawn is not retiring from piano teaching, which she’s done for 40 years, but she’ll only have seven students this fall.

Four more are on a waiting list — and have been since birth.

One of those children is Anna Everhart, 7, whose brother Spencer, 9, has just completed his first year of study with Dawn.

Their mother, Carol, wanted to make sure Anna would have a place, too.

“She’s the best,” Carol says of Dawn, who taught her and older sister. “I knew she knows her stuff. I knew they would get a very good background in music.”

As for Spencer, she says, “He loves Dawn. She picks on him all the time and he just thinks it’s so funny.

They enjoy it. He looks forward to going.”

When Anna and the students on the waiting list are done, Dawn will be, too.

“I’m glad I went out when I could play well,” Dawn says.

“The absolute bedrock of her ministry is that she has upheld the integrity of worship thorough liturgy,” Rob says. “I just have an immense respect for her. I consider her one of the leading musicians in our Synod.”

And, he adds, she makes a helluva breakfast casserole.

Alabama AG sues BP, others over Gulf oil spill authority to raid the casinos and seize the games.

As for the spill, a team of economic experts is still trying to put a figure on the state’s economic losses.

King will be out of office before the lawsuit makes much progress in court. He lost the Republican primary June 1 to Birmingham lawyer Luther Strange. Strange said King should have consulted with the governor and Gulf coast mayors to make sure the litigation doesn’t hurt ongoing negotiations with BP. The Democratic nominee for attorney general, Montgomery lawyer James Ander-

son, said King may have had a stronger case if he brought in Alabama cities and counties affected by the spill and possibly even other Gulf states.

He said BP has already lined up some of the top lawyers in the state, and the attorney general’s office will have to bring in outside lawyers with experience in this type of litigation if it hopes to win.

“We’ve got plenty of time to add on attorneys,” said Chris Bence, the attorney general’s chief of staff.

Riley spokesman Todd Stacy said the governor had not seen the lawsuits. He said the state is still compiling a list of economic damages that it will submit to BP soon. If the company doesn’t provide fair and fast compensation, then the state would have a dispute.

“When there is a dispute, then a lawsuit is appropriate,” he said.

King said his move is not premature.

“As Alabama’s lawyer, I say that, if anything, based on BP’s broken promises, their history of saying one thing and doing another, and now, new information that they have been secretly working to gain a legal advance, further delay can only further damage our people,” King said.

He said BP is retaining the best expert witnesses to keep the other side from using them to testify against BP and is selling assets perhaps to keep an American court from reaching them to satisfy a judgment.

Riley appointed King as attorney general in 2004. But since then, they have become adversaries. Riley created the task force on gambling because King wouldn’t take action against electronic bingo games at casinos. They’ve been battling it out in the courts over whether the task force has the

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s attorney general is suing BP and others over the Gulf oil spill because he says the oil company has broken too many promises about accepting responsibility for the disaster.

Attorney General Troy King filed two lawsuits in federal court in Montgomery late Thursday afternoon on behalf of the state. The lawsuits — one against BP and the other against Transocean, Haliburton and other companies associated with the spill — seek economic and punitive damages.

No specific amount was listed.

The lawsuit accuses them of damaging Alabama’s coast and economy through “negligent or wanton failure to adhere to recognized industry standards.”

BP spokesman Justin Saia said the company had not seen the lawsuit and had no comment. At least 300 federal lawsuits have been filed in 12 states against BP and the other three main companies involved in the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drill rig, which triggered the disaster.

King sued against the wishes of fellow Republican, Gov. Bob Riley, who hopes to reach an out-of-court settlement with the companies.

BP was leasing the rig Deepwater Horizon from owner-operator Transocean Ltd. when it exploded and sank, killing 11 workers. Halliburton Energy Services Inc., had been working to cap the well that ended

Tomato hornworms are trouble Tomato hornworms are out in force and will literally devour tomato plants.

These plump, lime-green caterpillars have an enormous appetite that can completely strip a tomato plant of leaves and stems in a matter of just a few days.

Tomato hornworms are also a problem on pepper, potato and other plants in the Solanaceae family. The tomato hornworms’ cousin, the tobacco hornworm, is a serious pest on tobacco in the eastern part of North Carolina.

Hornworms overwinter in the soil, emergDARRELL BLACKWELDER ing as a large, nocturnal moth in late July through August. Adult hornworm moths are often spotted at dusk depositing their eggs on the underside of leaves. The moth usually deposits about five eggs per plant with hungry larvae emerging a few days later, depending upon temperature.

After feeding and consuming tomato leaves and stems, the larvae burrow into the soil.

Some tomato hornworms will be covered with cocoons of pupating braconid wasps. The braconid wasp is a parasite of the hornworm because it causes the hornworm to die as it pupates. The wasp is not like the normal paper wasp that builds nests in the eaves of homes. It’s very small reddish insect, 10 millimeters in length, with a long ovipositor used to deposit eggs.

When the wasps undergo metamorphosis, all of the internal organs of the tomato caterpillar have been digested, therefore killing the hornworm larvae. While these wasp pupae are detrimental to the tomato hornworm, it is actually a beneficial insect for home gardeners.

Even though the parasitic wasp is the preferred method of control, the worm will continue consuming the tomato even though it is parasitized by the wasp. If there are few hornworms, simply pick them off the tomato plant and discard. This is an effective method of control.

If the worms are infested with braconid wasp pupae, pick them off and set them

Yardsmart: Nurturing super seniors B Y M AUREEN G ILMER Scripps Howard News Service

When your entire life span is just 90 days, you become a senior citizen just two months after birth. So it is in late summer when most plants in the vegetable garden reach their golden “years.” Like people, they slow down and grow wrinkled. But getting on doesn’t mean life is over.

A well-tended tomato plant will age gracefully, remaining active late in life, just like we do. For those people who take care of themselves with agedefying diet and exercise, life is fruitful after 60. Novice gardeners see food-producing plants aging and give up, concluding that because they aren’t as beautiful as before, they must be unproductive. But if we water, feed, prune and protect such plants, many of them will go on to become productive again during the mild days of fall. You can nurture them into super seniors capable of defying this 90-day life span. In short, you can give them a second wind.

Super seniors aren’t pretty, but they are productive. The key is to know what to do this time of year so plants respond accordingly to your anti-aging regimen.

darrell blackwelder/for the sALIsBUrY Post

Above: tomato hornworm with parasitic wasps. Below: tomato hornworm on a plant.

• Water: When heat dries the soil, particularly if it is clay, cracks may form on the surface. Water flows into these cracks rather than penetrating more evenly into the soil, leaving dry spots underground. Inadequate lateseason surface watering is the most common cause of decline for plants.

Plan to rehydrate the ground deeply every week or two. Either flood the area with the hose or use a sprinkler to water slowly but for a long time to allow dense soils time for absorption.

Such deep saturation lasts long after the surface dries out, reducing the need to water frequently.

away from the tomatoes, allowing them to complete their life cycle.

If the hornworms are not infected and there are too many to pick off, use a soft insecticide containing spinosad or Dipel (Bacillus thuringiensis). These are very effective, especially on young caterpillars Deep plowing or roto-tilling after harvest destroys overwintering pupae in the soil. This is a very effective method of control since pupae are large and not buried very deeply in the soil. Results have shown that greater than 90 percent mortality is caused by normal garden tilling.

Bermuda, crabgrass starting to take over lawns

BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

Bermuda and crabgrass now dominate most of the cool season lawns.

These grasses must be eliminated before seeding in September. The growth habit of these weeds is entirely different and therefore has different methods of control. Correctly identifying the grass is essential if these weeds are to be eliminated.

Bermuda grass is the most serious and difficult of the two grasses to control. Bermuda grass invades weak or thinned fescue lawns during the early summer months when fescue becomes semi-dormant, becoming established via seed, stolons (above ground stems) or rhizomes (underground stems).

Roots form at the nodes or joints allowing the grass to become well established over a short period of time. This grass propagates itself from these specialized stems and seed are often introduced in lawns by contaminated topsoil.

Bermuda grass turns brown and becomes dormant after a hard frost in the fall. The grass remains dormant until the return of warm weather in early summer. Patches of “dead” Bermuda grass give fescue lawns a spotty and unsightly appearance during the winter months. Applying systemic herbicides containing glyphosate (Roundup) is the only feasible method of controlling bermuda grass. Now is the time to kill this grass and repeated applications are often needed to control this aggressive grass. Glyphosate is not effective on plants that are not actively growing. Bermuda grass does

not grow well as the soil temperature drops in mid-September.

Crabgrass lawn weed often confused with bermuda grass. It is a warm-season annual grass which also thrives in hot weather. This grass is endogenous to our area, adapting to both wet and hot, dry summer conditions. Smooth crabgrass and hairy crabgrass are two types that now dominate weak lawns growing rapidly now.

Crabgrass grows in clumps, similar to fescue, but may have a faint blue color to the leaf blade. A single crabgrass plant produces thousands of minute seed remaining in the soil for years.

Crabgrass is best controlled with pre-emergence herbicides in early spring or with post-emergence herbicides during the early summer. It is too late to control crabgrass with pre-emergence herbicides. Post-emergence herbicides kill young seedling crabgrass, but do poorly on well-established plants. Post-emergence herbicides such as MSMA may burn established fescue in hot, dry weather. Crabgrass dies out completely with the first killing frost. Dead plants can be raked and fescue can be seeded to fill the void. Herbicides containing glyphosate (Roundup) or herbicides containing diquat easily kill crabgrass clumps before planting.

It is important to note that bermuda grass is a perennial returning each season from underground stems, and crabgrass is an annual germinating from seed. Bermuda grass must be completely destroyed this month before reseeding fescue in September.

Make certain the bermuda grass is dead before reseeding.

• Feed: All the compost and manure you put into the soil at planting time may be exhausted by late summer.

Annual vegetable plants are heavy feeders that slow down under a poor diet. Now is the time to add high-quality organic fertilizer to beds and rows.

Liquid fish emulsion, also known as manure tea, is easy to apply, as it moves directly into the root zone for immediate usability. Concentrated organic pellets cultivated into the soil gradually dissolve, becoming available to plants a lot slower.

darrell blackwelder/for the sALIsBUrY Post

Bermuda grass, above, and crabgrass, below, are dominating cool season lawns.

• Prune: Study your veggie plants.

Look for bends and breaks and dead stems, all of which draw energy from the plant and host damaging pests. Remove limbs that have bent or were stepped on because they can no longer transport moisture properly. For greens, remove leaves damaged by pests so that growth energy is put into new leaf development.

• Train: As plants grow overly large, they can literally collapse under their own weight. Your original trellis may no longer be sufficient.

Now is the time to use stakes and ties to continually support limbs with developing fruit. It won’t be pretty, but this pays off. For creepers like pumpkins or melons, protect the ripening fruit from ground rot. Place light, springy material underneath such as straw or dry pine needles or even newspapers to prevent slugs and other pests from burrowing into the ground spot. And if you see parts of the plant suffering from intense heat or sunburn, use a lightweight shade cloth to make a simple protective tent.

In our youth- and beauty-centric culture, we rarely see pictures of food gardens late in the year. Therefore, everyone assumes they should always look as they did in early summer. That is what differentiates food gardens from ornamental ones. It’s why they are often located in out-of-the-way corners of a garden.

Thankfully, our annual vegetables have the potential to become super seniors, keeping fresh food on our table much longer. But that is only if you give them the love and attention we give our own aging parents in their twilight years of life when their crop of love and wisdom is by far the richest.

‘So You Think You Can Dance’ fans pick Froderman LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lauren Froderman had all the right moves on “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Viewer votes awarded the 18-year-old recent high school graduate from Phoenix the title of “America’s Favorite Dancer” and the $250,000 grand prize. Froderman bested 18-year-old runner-up Kent Boyd of Wapakoneta, Ohio, and 19-yearold third-place finisher Robert Roldan of Thousand Oaks, Calif., on the Fox dancing contest’s live finale Thursday.

“I have been working my whole life for something like this,” Froderman said.

The bubbly contemporary jazz dancer was best known for her ability to pick up other styles, effortlessly taking on hip-hop, ballroom and Bollywood routines throughout the seventh season. She also deftly tackled a wardrobe malfunction — a dangly broken dress strap — while performing a Broadway number

during the third week of competition.

Before Froderman’s crowning, the finale featured performances from dance troop Quest Crew, 7-year-old tap dancer Luke Spring and a duet between hip-hop dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. The former “American Idol” judge held her own in the fast-pumping, therapythemed routine set to “Outta Your Mind” by Lil’ Jon and LMFAO. “As a joke, I said this would be fun to do,” said DeGeneres.

The seventh season was plagued with injuries that forced a few dancers out of the competition. It also introduced several switch-ups to the format, including narrowing the finalist field from 20 to 11 dancers, adding past contestants as partners and replacing screaming ballroom maestro Mary Murphy on the judging panel with cool choreographer Mia Michaels.

Dear Mary: My daughter has been out of work for about one year. She cannot find a job that pays the wages that she was making she before was laid off, so now she is looking at jobs that pay less. I am thinking about taking my savings and paying off her home for MARY her because HUNT she wants to withdraw her retirement money to pay it down. This would take all of my savings, but she could rebuild my nest egg when she got a job instead of making mortgage payments. I'm 72, and I live comfortably on my income. My daughter will inherit my estate when I pass away, so why not

My diagnosis is that your old friend has a galloping case of insecurity — people who belittle others usually feel terrible about themselves.

And so you say, “I’ve known you forever, but I don’t like the person you’ve become. I worry that you’re going to go off on the wrong person, and I hope you don’t.”

Dear Parent: You can be wildly in love with your girlfriend, but you must also be permitted to love her kids — as it is, she is preventing this by allowing them to be unlovable.

Her son should close the door when using the bathroom, and his refusal to do so

makes your response simple: You will not be able to bring your daughters around — either casually or on vacation — until he is able to use the toilet privately.

This could be exactly what he wants, and if his mother lets her children rule her household and control her relationships with other adults, they will do exactly that.

This family could use your good example (they need a good man in their lives), and your girlfriend needs to be the parent her kids deserve to have.

If she continues to resist your example and also refuses other parenting help, do your own kids the favor of sacrificing this relationship for their sakes.

R122513

She asks me why they don’t respect her, but disregards any of my solutions.

I feel very uncomfortable trying to correct what I think is unacceptable behavior of someone else’s children, and I don’t want my children exposed to this.

How should I handle this?

The simple answer is to break up with the woman — or I could limit my children’s contact with her children, but she wants us to vacation together with all the children along, and we are very much in love.

Dear Amy: I am a single parent of three children: one teenage boy and two adolescent girls.

My girlfriend of one year is also a single parent. When I was at her house, her 11year-old son used the toilet without closing the door.

I asked him politely if he could do me a favor when my daughters were there and just close the door.

He answered, “No. I have never closed the door, and I will not start now.”

(My girlfriend explained that her father and all of her brothers do this at their homes.)

He refuses to use his seatbelt in the car and refuses to do chores around the house.

Both he and his older brother are very disrespectful to their mother and other authority figures.

She submits to their demands, saying she doesn’t want to listen to them complain.

ELECTION VENDOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Foolish freebies An editorial from the News & Observer of Raleigh: he scenario: An association of government employees helps pay for social gatherings at training meetings by contacting private contractors with whom its members do taxpayerfunded business and asking for money.

The contractors pony up, defraying some expenses.

Anything about that sound a little questionable?

If your answer is yes, then you’re in disagreement with Melva Basnight Garrison, the Dare County elections director and president of the N.C. Association of Directors of Elections, which The people according to one contractor involved here has sought condidn’t tumble off tributions from the turnip truck “every elections vendor in North last week.

Carolina.”

The association got $2,500 from that contractor, Owen Andrews, president of Printelect, a company that prints ballots for 85 of North Carolina’s 100 counties. Printelect also is the sole agent in the state for Election Systems & Software, which in 2006 got a concession to sell and maintain all of the voting machines in the state.

ES&S kicked in another $2,500 for the cause, which in this case was an April 2009 reception at a state aquarium in Manteo.

Garrison told the News & Observer that it never occurred to her that there might be a real or perceived conflict of interest in having people who do business on the taxpayers’ behalf solicit money from vendors with whom they have professional arrangements.

This “culture of freebies” needs to go away.

This kind of interaction has been seen before, in other agencies, and the News & Observer reported last week on state Elections Director Gary Bartlett’s fishing trip with Andrews, and on other entertainment Andrews has provided for county elections officials. All involved in these events say that of course Andrews’ generosity has had no effect on the awarding of contracts to Printelect.

The people involved here didn’t tumble off the turnip truck last week. Surely they’re sophisticated enough to know full well that having government employees or agencies being treated, in effect, by the people with whom they do business creates a bad appearance, at the least.

This should happen no more. No more.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.”

— H.L. Mencken

Moderately confused

ALEIGH — Every passionate reader has a first literary love — that first book that captured your attention and inspired your desire to explore and understand.

For me, it was a true classic: “A Child’s History of the World.” First published in 1924, the book was the product of the innovative mind of Virgil Hillyer, the Harvard-trained headmaster of the Calvert School in Baltimore. After many years at the helm of the school, Hillyer realized that there were many chilJOHN dren whose families HOOD couldn’t afford tuition but who would benefit from high-quality instruction. So he convinced Baltimore booksellers to sell his curriculum directly to families.

The publication and marketing of “A Child’s History of the World” in the 1920s and 1930s helped spark the development of formal homeschooling in America. The copy I read in the mid-1970s, however, had been rescued by my mother from the dumpster behind the Charlotte public school where she taught.

Hillyer thought that most children could learn far more than commonly thought. They simply needed to be challenged, and to be presented material in an engaging way. His work reflected that sentiment, as do most successful instructional programs.

Unfortunately, North Carolina has had little success improving the reading program in its public schools. Too many teachers (and teachers of teachers) remain wedded to discredited practices. Too many lawmakers devote too many tax dollars to pointless exercises in political theater. And too many families allow kids to do everything except sit down to read.

You can see the results in the data.

Since the mid-1990s, when North Carolina launched its latest flurry of highly touted and expensive “reforms,” the state’s performance on independent math tests has improved significantly, particularly from 1996 to 2003.

The same can’t be said for our reading performance. Among North Carolina eighth-graders, for example, the average reading score on the National Assessment of Education Progress was 264 in 1994 and 260 in 2009. Only 29 percent of our eighthgraders were proficient readers in 2009. In 1994, 31 percent were. (The change was not statistically significant, so it would be best to say there was no progress.)

The education establishment and its defenders point their fingers in every other direction but at themselves. They say schools and teachers can’t help it, that these mediocre results are caused by social factors beyond their control. They also say that if they could only get their hands on even more tax dollars, the results would be better. They say a lot of things, it seems, ignoring the tensions and inconsistencies.

North Carolina can no longer afford to tolerate mediocrity. We have one of the worst economies in the United States. Our jobless rate has remained in double digits for more than two years. One reason is that as traditional manufacturing industries have downsized, thanks to international competition and technological innovation, some emerging industries doubt they can find the skilled labor they need in our state.

More importantly, however, today’s students are tomorrow’s voters.

The most compelling rationale for state government’s involvement in education is that a self-governing republic can thrive only to the extent that its citizens possess basic knowledge — about science, history, and civics — as well as the skills to learn more about the problems facing their families and communities.

North Carolina needs real education reform. Its elements aren’t hard to outline: • Adopt higher academic standards and independent, reliable tests of student performance.

• Of the nearly $10,000 spent per pupil in our public schools, devote a higher percentage to classroom instruction, particularly our best teachers.

• Ensure that most North Carolina parents exercise greater control over their children’s education by promoting public-school choice, charterschool expansion, tax relief for family investment in education, and scholarship assistance for low-income families.

“When a wheel turns over we call it a revolution, which is a big name for a little thing,” Hillyer wrote in his Child’s History. “When a country turns over we also call it a revolution, which is a big name for a big thing.”

It’s time for a revolution in North Carolina education.

A matter of justice

BY CHRIS FITZSIMON NC Policy Watch

here’s plenty to be outraged about in the superb and ongoing News & Observer series, “Agents’ Secrets,” about the State Bureau of Investigation including the apparent misconduct and mismanagement of the bureau that has distorted trials and resulted in wrongful convictions, robbing innocent men of years of their lives.

And the series brings up something even more important than an investigative agency rife with problems. It's a sobering reminder that much of the law enforcement and prosecutorial culture still refuses to admit mistakes FITZSIMON long after it's obvious they were made, regardless of the impact of that refusal.

No system is perfect. Things go wrong and people make mistakes. But justice is delayed or denied when prosecutors or law enforcement agencies vigorously protest any allegation that they were at fault, no matter how obvious their fault is.

The N&O series reports that previous SBI Director Robin Pendergraft told the paper that she had no concrete facts that an agent had falsified a murder confession by a man with mental retardation who could not have possibly made it. Doctors and defense lawyers had pointed out the impossibility that the confession was authentic for years.

Gregory Taylor was exonerated in February after spending 17 years behind bars for a murder he did not commit. His exoneration came after an investigation by the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission revealed that an SBI expert had testified that Taylor's blood was at the scene of the crime when his own testing had shown it was not.

Even then, District Attorney Colon Willoughby argued before a three-judge panel that Taylor should not be released, saying his case wasn’t credible or believable. The judges disagreed and Taylor was freed. Willoughby told Taylor he was sorry, but didn’t explain why he had argued to keep Taylor behind bars when his innocence seemed so certain.

His apology would have meant more if it had been issued before the judges made their inevitable ruling, if Willoughby had joined with defense lawyers and asked

T

You’ve gotta be kidding A sampling of humor from late-night TV hosts.

Jay Leno: “A JetBlue flight attendant cursed out passengers, grabbed two beers, slid down the chute and took off. The pilots were furious. Those were their last two beers.”

that Taylor be released. But it’s simply not part of the prosecutorial culture to admit mistakes even when they are obvious and even when they result in horrible miscarriages of justice.

The capital punishment system provides numerous examples of prosecutors refusing to admit mistakes or misconduct that led to unfair trials and wrongful convictions.

The Attorney General’s office argued to execute Alan Gell for murder even after it was revealed that prosecutors had withheld evidence that pointed to Gell’s innocence in the crime. A superior court judge in Bertie County threw out Gell’s murder conviction because of the evidence but Attorney General Roy Cooper decided to try him again for the crime and he was acquitted.

Maybe the most egregious example was the case of Charles Munsey, sentenced to death in Wilkes County based on the testimony of a witness who said Munsey confessed to the crime when both men were at Central Prison.

Evidence discovered after the trial included a memo from a staff member of the Attorney General’s office to the prosecutor saying that prison records showed the witness was never in Central Prison.

Astonishingly, the memo also directed the prosecutor to continue his pursuit of a death sentence for Munsey.

A judge threw out Munsey’s death sentence over the objections of the Attorney General’s office. The staff member who wrote the memo was promoted not disciplined. And no one has ever explained why the Attorney General’s office didn’t also ask that Munsey’s conviction be overturned when their whole case was based on testimony they knew was false.

The N&O series is yet another compelling reminder that sometimes the Attorney General and the investigators that work for him forget that they don’t work for the Department of Conviction or the Department of Execution, they work for the Department of Justice.

Their job is to seek the truth and see that justice is served. That means admitting mistakes when they realize they have made them so innocent people are not punished for crimes they did not commit.

Military inmates at SC brig to train service dogs CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Titus, a skinny yellow Lab mix with loving dark eyes, scooped a dime off the gym floor with his teeth before proudly marching back to his handler.

It was a neat trick. But the seriousness of what Titus is trained for came through when he tried to balance a cumbersome, 10-pound prosthetic leg in his jaws. “If he doesn’t put it right in my hand, I have him repeat the task,� trainer Rick Hairston said.

Titus’ appearance at the Naval Consolidated Brig on Wednesday kicked off a new mission behind the wire where incarcerated servicemen will begin training service dogs for America’s “wounded warriors,� mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Over the course of hundreds of hours, brig prisoners will become skilled in teaching dogs simple tasks, such as finding a TV remote control, retrieving drinks from inside a refrigerator, picking up car keys or loading a washing machine one garment at a time.

They also will learn more vital missions that border on mini-rescues: acting as a balance when someone falls and needs help standing up, or finding a quick path out of a crowd-

ed room when bouts of posttraumatic stress disorder suddenly arise.

Advocates see multiple benefits in the program beyond helping wounded vets, with prisoners learning job skills and dogs rescued from kennels getting a second chance. Even the notion of canines having a calming effect on incarcerated men is considered a bonus. “It’s contagious,� said Cmdr.

Raymond Drake, commanding officer at the brig. “A dog brings out the best in people.

It’s man’s best friend for a reason.�

Service dogs for wounded military men and women have been around for decades, yet the effort is a new one for Charleston’s military prisoners. The brig’s program is a meshing of Carolina Canines for Service, a civilian group, and Carolina Canines for Veterans, a military group.

Until recently the program had been based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., but the effort was shifted to the brig under the most recent base realignment.

In the coming weeks, inmates from Camp Lejeune will move to Charleston to get the basic training started. The first crop of dogs will number about seven.

Supporters hope as many as

20 service dogs at a time will eventually be living with brig inmates, learning their commands and tasks that cover everything from pushing elevator buttons to getting dressed and opening doors and cabinets.

Inmates are selected as trainers based on their demeanor, crimes and length of incarceration. Training just one dog can take as many as 2,000 hours.

During his demonstration Wednesday, Titus responded to a simple laser-pointer Hairston directed on objects he wanted retrieved, including a plastic soda bottle and a briefcase. The training is valued at $40,000 per animal and is donated by Carolina Canines.

Hairston, the group’s president and CEO, said a dog’s training can be customized to suit a particular war injury.

He recalled one military officer wounded in Bosnia who lost sight in her left eye. Her service dog was trained to always work from the left, her weak side. The individual who trained her dog also was made to wear an eye patch so he could relate to her one-sided blindness.

In another training method designed for soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress,

aSSoCiaTeD PreSS

Jennifer Jones, an inmate in the Crain Prison Unit, works with a dog to be effective for a wounded veteran Tuesday in the Crain Prison Unit in Gatesville, Tx. The training is done through the Patriot Paws Service Dogs program which also gives the inmates a new skill. dogs are taught to mark a 3-foot space around someone by walking in a leashed circle, clearing people away who might be crowding the individual.

Other dogs that will work with paraplegics learn to work around wheelchairs. Veterans are solicited nationally and can

register via Carolina Canines website.

Not all the shelter-dog recruits make the cut. Titus, for instance, won’t ever be placed with a veteran because of a dislike he shows for toddlers, especially noisy ones.

Hairston said his reward is

in working with dogs every day and making the lives of wounded service people manageable after their sacrifice. But the number of wounded from the recent wars concerns him as well. “The sad news is, I will never run out of work,� he said.

GM CEO Whitacre stepping down Judge keeps gay marriages on hold SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday put gay marriages on hold for at least another six days in California, raising hopes among same-sex couples that they soon will be able to tie the knot after years of agonizing delays.

Judge Vaughn Walker gave opponents of same-sex weddings until Aug. 18 at 5 p.m. to get a ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on whether gay marriage should resume. Gay marriages could happen at that point or be put off indefinitely depending on how the court rules.

Walker struck down the state’s voter-approved gay marriage ban last week in a case many believe is destined for the Supreme Court.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In the strongest indication yet that BP’s broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico may be plugged for good, officials on Thursday said they’re conducting tests to determine if further work to seal the well is needed.

A final decision was expected today on whether crews need to go ahead with drilling relief wells to allow for a so-called “bottom kill,� in which mud and cement are pumped from deep underground to permanently seal the well.

Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the Obama administration’s point man on the oil spill, said at a news conference that an earlier effort to temporarily plug the well may have had the unintended effect of creating a permanent seal.

However, he cautioned it’s more likely that drilling will continue on two relief wells, which have long been said to be the only way to ensure the blown-out well doesn’t leak again. That work has been delayed because of bad weather and wouldn’t resume for about another four days, if testing shows it’s needed.

Last month, after a cap meant to be temporary was fitted on top of the broken well and halted the oil flow, crews pumped in mud and cement from above in a socalled “static kill.� Some of the cement may have gone down into the reservoir, come back up and plugged the space between the inner piping and the outer casing — which is what engineers were hoping to do with the bottom kill, Allen said.

Dozens of gay marriage supporters who had gathered outside San Francisco’s City Hall, a block from the federal courthouse, erupted in cheers when the decision came out. The crowd included a handful of same-sex couples who had arrived early Thursday morning to fill out marriage license applications in hopes that the judge would allow nuptials to commence immediately.

Teresa Rowe, 31, and her partner, Kristin Orbin, 31, said they were still happy with the decision even though the ceremony didn’t happen.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. chief Ed Whitacre said Thursday he’s stepping down as CEO on Sept. 1, his mission accomplished as the company reported its second straight quarterly profit.

Whitacre, 68, will be replaced by GM board member Daniel Akerson.

Like Whitacre, Akerson has a background of leading telecommunications companies.

Akerson, 61, will be GM’s fourth CEO in 18 months when he takes over the job.

He could be the executive who takes GM public again if an expected public offering takes place later this year.

In a conference call with analysts and media, Whitacre didn’t directly address a question about whether executives with automotive experience were considered for the job. He said Akerson has learned the auto business in his year on the board. “Dan has been involved every step of the way,�

Whitacre said. “He knows this business from a board perspective and also from personal conversations. So I think he’s absolutely the right choice.�

Investigators finish much of Alaska plane crash site work JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Federal investigators have finished much of their work at the site of the Alaska plane crash that killed former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and four others, and have shifted focus to interviewing survivors and hoisting the wreckage from a steep mountainside.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said the focus now turns to interviews; tightening the timeline for details on the plane’s departure, the realization it was missing, and search and rescue activities; and bringing the wrecked plane to a hangar for further inspection.

Plenty of unanswered questions remain, with investigators receiving conflicting information as to when the float plane left a corporate-owned lodge for a fishing camp and when the wreckage was discovered.

Hersman said some of that may be due to people’s memories and to the “fog of an accident.” Investigators

hoped that interviews with those involved — including with the four survivors — would help fill in the blanks.

They also requested tapes from the Federal Aviation Administration to help nail down the search and discovery time, and they were looking to see if there were any weather cameras or pilots who were flying in the area to help shed light on conditions.

Had the plane taken the most direct route from the lodge to the camp, the flight would have lasted about 15 minutes, Hersman said. It’s still not clear, though, whether that was the route taken. Departure times gleaned so far by investigators have differed by about an hour, as has the timing of the wreckage discovery.

No emergency beacon went off, Hersman said, adding that investigators were looking at whether the plane had been equipped with that technology.

At midday Thursday, Hersman estimated interviews had been conduct-

ed with 10 to 15 people, but that number didn’t include those who could provide especially critical information — the four survivors. Interviews also had not been done with those at the fish camp or with everyone who was at the lodge, Hersman said. Investigators also were still trying to speak with officials from General Communications Inc., the phone and Internet company that owned the lodge and to which the plane was registered, she said.

A doctor who is married to the head of GCI was among the first to arrive at the scene of the crash, company officials said Thursday.

Anchorage-based pediatrician Dani Bowman was at the GCI lodge when the crash occurred and was flown to a nearby air strip by her husband, GCI president Ron Duncan, in his float plane.

“As soon as Dani knew there were survivors, she wanted to get to the scene to provide medical attention,”

Duncan, a private pilot, said in a statement.

A helicopter flew Bowman and other responders to the wreckage.

Bowman, who is not commenting further, practices at the Alaska Native Medical Center and specializes in pediatrics intensive care, GCI officials said.

Authorities tried to speak with survivors Wednesday and Thursday, but they weren’t ready, Hersman said.

On Thursday, an Anchorage hospital listed the condition of the two of the survivors, Kevin O’Keefe and Jim Morhard, as fair, and William “Willy” Phillips Jr., whose father was killed, as good. Former NASA chief Sean O’Keefe, Kevin O’Keefe’s father, remained in critical condition.

Hersman said there had been upgrades to the 1957 model plane and investigators reported finding a “nicely equipped” cockpit, though the extent of those upgrades wasn’t immediately clear.

Authorities said the plane lacked a technology that Stevens had championed to improve air safety in Alaska, which is intended to allow pilots to see cockpit displays, concise weather information and location of other aircraft in the area.

But Hersman cautioned against any rush to judgment on whether technology of some kind could have prevented the crash, noting that investigators themselves had reached no conclusions on the accident’s cause.

It was unlikely investigators from the NTSB team out of Washington would return to the site of Monday’s crash, which occurred in rugged, mountainous terrain about 20 miles north of Dillingham, but the work is far from done, Hersman said. Besides the interviews, plans also call for using a heavy-lift helicopter to take the wreckage to a hangar in Dillingham for further inspection. That process could take a day or so.

Panthers held without TD

BY DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Joe Flacco guided Baltimore’s retooled offense to a pair of scores, and the Ravens held Carolina Ravens 17 defense without a touchdown in Panthers 12 a 17-12 preseason victory Thursday night.

Flacco went 8 for 12 for 120 yards and a touchdown. He produced a field goal in his first series, then went three-and-out before directing a 96-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Mark Clayton.

Carolina quarterback Matt Moore, hindered by poor protection and three penalties against left tackle Jordan ASSOcIATEd PRESS Gross, failed to produce any points durBaltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is sacked by ing his three possessions. carolina Panthers defensive end Tyler Brayton.

Backup Jimmy Clausen went 8 for 15

for 80 yards and an interception in his informal NFL debut. He was sacked twice.

A torrential rain began in the third quarter, causing a sloppy game to become even messier.

Carolina’s lone touchdown came when C.J. Wilson took a fumble by fourthstring running back Jalen Parmele into the end zone from 31 yards. John Kasay missed the extra point, leaving Carolina down 10-9.

Later in the quarter, Baltimore’s Prince Miller broke seven tackles during a 57-yard punt return. That set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Troy Smith for a 17-9 lead.

In an effort to bolster a passing game that last year relied too heavily on dumpoffs to Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, the Ravens added wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Donte’ Stallworth.

They also spread out the offense to take advantage of Flacco’s skilled right arm.

Flacco took his new offense on a test drive against the Panthers, and the results were impressive.

“We need to clean some things up, but overall it was a good start,” he said.

After a sack by safety Tom Zbikowski ended Carolina’s opening series, Flacco completed a 23-yard pass to Derrick Mason on Baltimore’s first play from scrimmage. The third-year quarterback then hit Clayton for 18 yards on thirdand-10 to set up a 32-yard field goal by free agent pickup Shayne Graham.

Late in the first quarter, after a punt pinned the Ravens on their 4, Flacco went 6 for 6 for 79 yards in a 10-play drive that put Baltimore ahead 10-0. His initial completion of the drive was a 12-yarder to

EAST ROWAN FOOTBALL

New East head coach chad Tedder can build around a proven QB and a strong core of returning defensive players.

Special senior class greets East’s Tedder This is the third in a series on area prep football teams.

At East Rowan practice, former catawba offensive lineman Will Reedy explains that, yes, it’s really him.

But Reedy’s out of school now, and that big body has shrunk. As an assistant coach at East Rowan, he was getting curious looks during Photo Day

on Tuesday from those who remembered him from his time at Catawba.

“Will Reedy, is that really you?”

Yep, under that full beard is a man who has lost 134 pounds since he left the playing field in 2006. He weighs in at 190, looking more like a receiver than the pulverizing center we came to know and love during his college days.

“To be honest, I just totally changed my eating habits,” Reedy said. “I didn’t eat out for over a year. I stopped eating at restaurants and started eating a lot of egg whites and oatmeal. I also picked up jogging.”

Reedy the football player would have scoffed at egg whites and oatmeal. That wouldn’t have even been a snack back then.

The East Rowan notebook ...

The first thing Chad Tedder wanted to do when he took over for Brian Hinson as head coach of the East Rowan Mustangs was meet these seniors he had heard so much about.

It’s a talented class that made prognosticators look silly in 2009. Coming off a 1-10 season, expectations were not high. The Mustangs gave their fans nine wins, including a playoff victory.

“The first player I actually met one-on-one was Evan Hiatt,” Tedder said. I saw him at the baseball championship series. He was ready to start.”

There’s a reason for that. Hiatt is a defensive back and Tedder’s forte is defense. He was defensive coordinator the past few years at West Davidson.

“I was excited,” Hiatt said. “He was bringing new things to the program. He’s a defensive man and I’ve

Tedder wasn’t snubbing the offense. He wanted to meet his quarterback Jamey Blalock.

It turned out to be a mutual admiration society.

“He’s more than what I thought he’d be,” Tedder said of Blalock. “He’s intelligent. He’s a good leader who the kids respect.”

“He reminds me a lot of Coach Hinson,” Blalock said.

“He’s a great guy. You know what he’s getting at when he explains something. He’s

O’Brien: Pack progress to come soon

BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

RALEIGH — The first year had the typical bumps of a coaching transition.

The second ended with a bowl loss that secured a losing season. The third was an injury-riddled mess.

Coach Tom O’Brien knows this season at North Carolina State had better offer something more.

“You have to win. That shows progress,” he said. “That’s what we haven’t been able to do. ... We’ve got to ASSOcIATEd PRESS go on and have a winning season and go North carolina State coach Tom O'Brien watches his team to a bowl game.” during a recent practice.

When O’Brien arrived in Raleigh, it

seemed the program that had offered plenty of bluster under Chuck Amato — despite never finishing higher than fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference — was hiring the perfect substance-overstyle guy. Yet N.C. State has been mediocre, losing seven games in each of the past three seasons.

N.C. State boasts a former all-ACC quarterback in Russell Wilson and has linebacker Nate Irving back after he missed all of last year with injuries suffered in a car wreck. The offense has been good enough to win games, but the defense last year was a disaster.

So far, the Wolfpack’s only real accomplishment under O’Brien has been to

win all three meetings with rival North Carolina and its coach, Butch Davis, whose hiring about a month before O’Brien in late 2006 generated a lot more buzz.

Then again, the Tar Heels have won eight games and reached a bowl game the past two seasons — a fact Wolfpack fans have noticed and only increases the pressure on O’Brien.

Staying healthy would certainly help.

Last year, 12 players went down to season-ending injuries.

Wilson was first-team all-ACC as a freshman and threw 31 touchdown pass-

EAST ROWAN FOOTBALL

EAST FROM 1B

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

Will Reedy was an all-SAC performer for Catawba.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B “After a game, it was whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted,” he smiled.

“I’d eat eight double cheeseburgers at McDonald’s. I’d eat a whole large pizza without it even fazing me. I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast.”

But the eating ended when his football career did.

“It wasn’t practical anymore,” Reedy said. “I had a reason to be big in football.

I had a scholarship. But after that, with all of the joint pain and high blood pressure, it was a healthy decision to make.”

He also made a promise to his family — especially his mother — that he’d slim down.

He did most of the weight-dropping when he took his first coaching job last year at a 6A high school in his native Florida.

But he’s back in Rowan County, like so many other former Catawba players.

All six county schools have someone who attended the college.

“We had some strong ties to the community,” Reedy said. “Playing there, we got to know a lot of the programs. Coach Hester was real big in the community. When you love the game, and not quite ready to give it up, you want to

start coaching. You have these ties so it’s a natural move.”

Reedy contacted Brian Hinson when he heard East assistant Gary Bass was moving to the college ranks.

“I already had a job offer here,” he said. “I asked if they had a teaching job to go with the coaching job.

They did.”

So he is now part of new coach Chad Tedder’s staff.

By the way, Tedder, a former star lineman himself, knows about dropping pounds. He once went from 325 to 265. Reedy was also told about Carson assistant Travis Billings, a former college lineman at Western Carolina, who dropped over 200 pounds.

“I’m glad to see that’s a trend that’s catching on,” Reedy said. “When you’re through playing and still lineman size and you still have a lineman’s eating habits, it can be really unhealthy.”

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear, though.

Just because Reedy has lost weight doesn’t mean he can’t pig out if necessary.

“I can still eat like a 320pounder,” he said. “You put all that food in your stomach, you stretch it out for life. The difference is, I stop now when I get full. I don’t keep going.”

• Ronnie Gallagher can be reached at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.c

straightforward. He’s getting a lot of respect in the community.”

Tedder’s message to his seniors?

“This is your first and only senior year. Wins and losses are one thing, but as long as you learn the game and learn it the right way — go as hard as you possibly can and do everything to try your best — you can’t ask for anything else.”

• CALLING BRIAN: Tedder had to ask Hinson where some of the necessities are in the coach’s office.

Meanwhile, Hinson is already getting acclimated to his new job as a Catawba assistant.

“We’re meeting a bunch,” said Catawba coach Chip Hester. “I want his input as we try to forge ahead toward a new offense.”

• YES, YOU’RE IN CHARGE: Tedder said being a head coach took a little getting used to.

“It’s already different,” he said recently. “I’m not used to being in charge. I’ve always been waiting for the whistle to blow, not blowing it myself.”

• MISSING THE BOYS: Hinson laughed a couple of months ago that he would probably want to come out and coach on the first day of practice.

Tedder had a similar experience when he returned some equipment to West Davidson during a Green Dragon camp.

“I saw all of those kids go out there,” Tedder said.

“That was kinda tough to see.”

• BIGGER, BETTER HOPPER: Linebacker Jordan Hopper was stout last season, but now, he has become a monster, going from 180 pounds to 225.

“I spent a lot of the offseason working on controlling my muscle and building muscle,” Hopper said. “Even

wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST

Andre McCain, a former West Rowan star, has moved across the county to coach at East. when I was gaining weight, I still tried to work on my explosiveness.”

The increase in strength has HOPPER not gone unnoticed by college coaches.

“Wofford has been real heavy in recruiting me,” said Hopper, who took an unofficial visit recently.

Wofford not only has film on Hopper but a big fan in Terriers’ assistant Piotr Kalinowski, who is at the Spartanburg, S.C. school coaching for his father-inlaw. He was East’s defensive coordinator last year.

• HEATING UP: East has been practicing at night.

“You have to play in the heat,” Tedder said. “You play at 7 and its still going to be humid. You might as well get your kids acclimated to it as long as you give them a lot of water breaks.

Tedder credited trainer Jim Sabo and his sports medicine program. But he can remember the days of salt tablets and no water.

“Water was for the weak ones,” he remembered.

• STRANGE SCHEDULE: East fans won’t get to see Tedder and the Mustangs at home until Sept. 10. They begin the season with three straight away games at North Rowan, Salisbury and Concord.

It’s not going to be easy.

“North, they’re athletic,” Tedder said. “Then you’ve got Salisbury right behind them. It’s tough to contain that speed. You turn around and you have a traditional power in Concord.”

East will have two straight home games following the road trip with Hickory Ridge on Sept. 10 and Cox Mill on Sept. 17. In fact, there is a stretch where East plays at home four of five weeks.

• DON’T I KNOW YOU? A former star is back in the county as former West Rowan Falcon Andre McCain is on the East staff after a few years as a personal trainer and as an intern at N.C. State.

The 1999 graduate of West arrived at East Rowan in May and has been impressed.

“The work ethic is definitely there,” McCain said.

“The winning spirit and

drive is there.”

• BOBBY AND BUBBA: Another new assistant is Bubba Rosenbaum, who comes over from Ledford.

The former North Davidson quarterback will look across the field on Friday night and see a familiar face: ROSENBAUM his high school quarterbacks coach Bobby Myers, now at North Rowan.

“Bobby really helped me,” Rosenbaum said.

Those two helped North Davidson to an 11-1 record in 1999.

Rosenbaum is not coaching quarterbacks, however.

He has the drop ends, tight ends and punters.

• BETCHA DIDNT KNOW: The quarterbacks coach at East is Mark Brinkley, who was once a cheerleader for UNC Charlotte.

• SCRIMMAGE TONIGHT: East had its first scrimmage on Thursday and is at home tonight at 6 p.m. against East Wilkes.

Associated Press

NBA NEW YORK — LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul are among the players that have attended a negotiating session between the NBA and the union.

Players’ association executive director Billy Hunter says 14 players participated in Thursday’s meeting in

PACK FROM 1B es last year to lead an offense that averaged 30 points per game. But Wilson missed spring drills while concentrating on baseball and spent the summer playing in the minors in the Colorado Rockies organization, allowing talented reserve Mike Glennon to get all the snaps in spring.

O’Brien has said he expects Glennon to push to take Wilson’s starting job. He also said Wilson was rusty to start training camp and has to play better before the opener against Western Carolina on Sept. 4.

“I’m physically ready, conditioning-wise and strengthwise,” Wilson said. “I’m the same weight I was when I left the last game. I’m definitely excited about it.”

He has his top receiving

NFL ALBANY, N.Y. — With the Giants’ preseason opener just days away, some New York players have concerns about the first game in their $1.6 billion stadium.

The problem isn’t the opponent — Rex Ryan and the Jets.

The issue is the FieldTurf at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Receiver Domenik Hixon suffered a major knee injury in the Giants’ only workout on the field during minicamp in June, raising speculation about the surface. He was later waived-injured.

LATROBE, Pa. — Ben Roethlisberger is permitted to play in all the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason games before his suspension begins.

That doesn’t mean he will.

Coach Mike Tomlin wouldn’t say Thursday whether Roethlisberger will take a few snaps with the starters during Saturday night’s exhibition game against the Detroit Lions — the first time the quarterback will appear before his home crowd

since being suspended for six games.

“We’re going to make you come to the stadium to check that out,” Tomlin said.

Because the starters will play only eight to 12 plays, it is unlikely both Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich will get on the field, unless it’s for a few downs apiece. Leftwich will be the starter when the season opens and Roethlisberger’s suspension begins.

“I want to play — I want to be out

there with the guys. I’d like to play the whole game,” Roethlisberger said. “If coach says I’m not going to play, it’s his call.”

There has been considerable speculation how Roethlisberger will be received in Heinz Field after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student in March.

He was not charged but was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who is expected to reduce the punishment to four games before the season begins.

SOCCER WEMBLEY, England — David Beckham’s international career appears over after England coach Fabio Capello said Wednesday the former captain is too old to play for the national team — without notifying him first.

Capello said the 35-yearold midfielder will have the chance to play in a friendly “farewell game” but will not be part of England’s team in qualifying for the 2012 European Championship.

RANGERS SALE

ATLANTA — Chipper Jones may have played his last game in the major leagues after tearing up his left knee while fielding a ground ball.

The Atlanta Braves said

MINNEAPOLIS — Nolan Ryan and Chuck Greenberg have no more courtrooms to enter, no more briefs to file, no more bidding wars to win.

Major League Baseball owners unanimously approved the sale of the Rangers.

threats in Owen Spencer (team-high 765 yards, six touchdowns) and Jarvis Williams (11 touchdowns). But the top two rushers from last season are gone and they’re running behind an offensive line that lost three starters.

And yet, those issues can’t compare to what faces a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league by allowing 31 points per game.

Irving’s return should help.

He was the team’s top defensive player coming out of spring drills in 2009 before the accident that left him with a collapsed lung and a compound fracture in his left leg among numerous injuries.

He’s moving to middle linebacker under new position coach Jon Tenuta. He will play alongside Audie Cole (teamhigh 85 tackles) and Dwayne Maddox and Terrell Manning — two players who got more snaps in Irving’s absence.

“Usually I’m able to draw

plays up in a notebook, give it a once over and I learn the plays that quick,” Irving said. “But with Coach Tenuta, we have an abundance of plays out of different formations, so I’ve got to sit down and really look at that and study that real good.”

As for the rest of the defense, the entire starting line is gone and projected starter at cornerback Rashard Smith is already out for the season following recent knee surgery. N.C. State hopes that’s not an early indication that the secondary will remain the revolving door it was last season, when the Wolfpack started eight different combinations in 12 games.

“You feel pressure every year,” O’Brien said. “It’s not any different this season than it was last season or the season before. If you don’t feel pressure as a coach to have a winning football team and get to bowl games, you’re not bleeding or breathing.”

CHIPPER OUT

Tomlin not certain Roethlisberger will play Associated Press

Thursday that the 38-yearold third baseman tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will need surgery. The estimated recovery time is six months — if Jones decides to return in 2011. He had already said he would consider retirement after a season that’s now ended sooner than expected.

Jones was hurt in Tuesday night’s game at Houston.

He fielded a routine grounder by Hunter Pence, jumped in the air while making the throw to first, then collapsed to the ground for several minutes.

While numerous fans said a few months ago they were angered by his behavior and would no longer cheer for him, Roethlisberger is being treated enthusiastically by the thousands of fans who attend training camp daily.

Is Roethlisberger nervous about his first game back, just as he was before his first practice last month?

“The fans have been awesome,” he said. “I think and hope it will be awesome. ... I want to get back to Heinz, that’s my home.”

ROCHESTER, Minn. — NASCAR team owner Jack Roush has been released from a Minnesota hospital two weeks after he suffered facial injuries in a Wisconsin plane crash.

Roush Fenway Racing said Thursday it’s still unclear when Roush will return to the race track.

Roush was attending an air show in Oshkosh, Wis., late last month. He was at the controls of a small plane that crashed while trying to land.

He was able to walk away from the crash. His passenger was treated and released from a hospital the next day.

Roush was released from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., on Wednesday. He says he’s grateful for the outpouring of support and concern he received.

Roush has won championships in NASCAR’s top series with Matt Kenseth in 2003 and Kurt Busch in 2004.

Manhattan. The sides agreed to hold another session before training camp so players can take part again.

• MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The ex-wife of slain former NBA player Lorenzen Wright told police she saw him leave her home carrying money and a box of drugs the night he disappeared, according to court documents obtained Wednesday.

• PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have hired Rod Thorn as team president.

FROM 1B Boldin, and Clayton’s reception in the end zone took place in front of Captain Munnerlyn.

“Mark was one-on-one on the edge,” Flacco said. “I just had to give time to get on top of the guy, and he made an unbelievable play.”

There was speculation Clayton’s playing time this season would be squeezed by Boldin, Stallworth and Mason, but Clayton finished with a team-high 48 yards receiving.

Stallworth, like Boldin, had one catch. Willis McGahee had four receptions during the 96-yard drive for 37 yards.

“We’re where we want to be at this point in time, but we still have a lot of work to do,” McGahee said. “Still, I think we’re all happy that we kept moving the ball down the field.”

Baltimore amassed 196 yards in offense in the first half, only 22 of them on the ground. Rice started but did not touch the ball. 

Raiders 17, Cowboys 9 ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys were within 16 yards of the end zone on four drives against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night, yet managed only three field goals. It came back to bite them when the Raiders got two touchdowns and a field goal in the final 4:58 to win 17-9.

Dallas (1-1) had snaps from Oakland’s 16, 13, 9 and 10 without getting into the end zone. One of those drives was stopped on downs, and the others were settled by David Buehler making kicks of 42, 27 and 28 yards.

Oakland went ahead 10-9 with 2:24 left when first-string kicker Sebastian Janikowski nailed a 28-yard field goal.

Swayze Waters had badly missed a 34-yarder at the start of the fourth quarter.

Patriots 27, Saints 24 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints are leaving New England after losing their punter, a running back and their exhibition opener.

The team that won its first

NFL title with the help of big plays couldn’t stop them Thursday night. Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 28-yard field goal with 53 seconds left to give the Patriots a 27-24 win.

The kick was set up by a short pass by Zac Robinson that Darnell Jenkins turned into a 52-yard gain. The Saints also allowed kickoff returns of 52 and 50 yards by first-

round draft pick Devin McCourty.

On his first series since being voted Super Bowl MVP, Drew Brees threw an incompletion and was sacked for a 10-yard loss. But on his third and final possession, he led a 20-play, 86-yard march that lasted 10:01 and ended with a 2-yard scoring run by Reggie Bush that cut New England’s lead to 10-7.

Reader offers some help for neuropathy sufferers and exercise.

My neurologist prescribed 10 milligrams of baclofen for the few leg cramps I was getting at night. I declined after hearing the side effects from my pharmacist. Because the weather was hot, I decided to try a high-carb sports drink, which took away the cramps until the weather changed.

I have always been a heavy user of Vicks VapoRub, so I began massaging it onto both feet — bottom and top, heels and toes. My chiropractor also suggested 1/8th teaspoon of cream of tartar mixed with water at night.

Seven years later, I have a little numbness in spots, no pain and only cramps at night when my feet get cold. I also take vitamin B6 along with alpha-lipoic acid per day. My

neurologist agrees that the Vicks will keep the nerves alive, and the massaging keeps the muscles strong.

Dear Reader: Let’s start with the simple case of your leg cramps. Many people experience cramping of the feet and calves after exercising or profuse sweating because the body’s electrolyte balance is disturbed. Sports drinks can help bring this back into balance, thus eliminating the cramps. Other home remedies include soap under the sheets, pickles, pickle juice, supplemental potassium and others.

Now, on to your peripheral neuropathy. This condition is caused by damage to the peripheral nerves in the feet, legs, hands and/or arms. Causes can be untreated or poorly controlled diabetes,

chemotherapy or radiation side effects, improper diet or injury. When the cause cannot be found, the condition is labeled idiopathic.

Common treatment includes prescription nerve blockers such as gabapentin.

Another treatment that has received a lot of positive review is Anodyne therapy. Home remedies range from topical mentholated chest rubs to dietary vitamin and mineral supplements and topical ointments containing capsaicin.

Massage may also be beneficial since its aids circulation.

The cream-of-tartar remedy offered by your chiropractor is new to me, but if it works for you, stick with it. I cannot think of any harm it could do.

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body

and is present in every cell. It is both fat- and water-soluble.

It has been shown to lower blood-sugar levels, kill free radicals and improve symptoms of autonomic neuropathy (damage to the nerves of the heart associated with diabetes). It is currently being studied as a part of a treatment program for glaucoma, stroke, brain disorders and liver dis-

king, cash your second heart winner, and play on clubs. If East never ruffs, throw him in with his spade queen, forcing him to lead a diamond into dummy’s ace-queen or to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

opening. This is why some pairs like to use a strong-club system.

The North hand is a tad strong for a game-invitational raise and a tad weak for a game-forcing raise.

If you were scientific, you would have continued with a

four-club control-bid (cuebid). Then, though, when North control-bid four diamonds, East would have thrown in a lead-directing double. And after a diamond opening lead, you would have had to play the trump suit correctly to get home.

You seem to have 12 top tricks: five spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs.

What could possibly go wrong?

The danger is twofold: the diamond finesse failing and a 3-0 trump split with a misguess by you. However, it is not a guess. In this layout, if you immediately play a spade to dummy’s king, you will go down. Instead, start with your spade ace. Here, everything is fine. But if West discards, you can lead a spade to dummy’s

Today is the only Friday the 13th this year. So, as you will be moving more carefully than usual, here is a deal that requires precise play.

You are in six spades. West leads the heart queen to your ace. How would you continue?

Your hand is a tad strong for a one-spade opening, a tad weak for a two-no-trump opening (and has undesirable distribution for that bid), and three tads weak for a two-club

Dear Dr. Gott: Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy due to numbness on the bottoms of both feet. My podiatrist made the diagnosis. Because I was not a diabetic or an alcoholic, he diagnosed idiopathic PN. I was 75 at the time. He wanted to do muscle tests, which I turned down in favor DR. PETER of a second GOTT opinion at the local Mayo Clinic. Their tests showed the neuropathy to be present, and they suggested I take 600 milligrams per day of alpha-lipoic acid from my health-food store
