RUTHERFORDTON — Firefighters from three departments battled a blaz-ing house fire Monday afternoon off Cleghorn Mill Road, but the structure was a total loss.

Sandy Mush, S-D-O and Rutherfordton firefighters responded to 520 Cleghorn Mill Rd. at about 4:45 p.m. Monday and took about 45 minutes to get the flames under control. Sounds of shattering glass and collaps-ing ceilings accompanied calls for more water and back-up as firemen worked to beat back the fire.

“I saw smoke about 4:30 and called 911,” said neigh-bor Johnny Boone. “I live about 500 yards away through the woods and I was very worried it was going to spread into the for-

Firefighters (below) from S-D-O, Sandy Mush and Rutherfordton departments responded to a house fire off Cleghorn Mill Road Monday afternoon and battled the blaze for almost three hours and were on the scene into the evening.

Emergency personnel were on the scene of a fatal automobile accident Monday afternoon on U.S. 221A near the Broad River Bridge and Duke Power Road. Leonard Earl Morrow, 69, of Fleece Road, Mooresboro, died instantly when the truck he was driving crossed the center line and struck a Spectra Kia driven by Miranda Scheakel of Easley, S.C. According to Highway Patrolman W.S. Morrow, Leonard Morrow was traveling south when he ran off the road to the right, came back on the road, crossed the center line and hit the Kia. He then traveled back off the road to the right and began overturning. The truck traveled about 600 feet after the collision before Mr. Morrow was ejected from the truck. Scheakel sustained minor injuries but was not transported to the hospital. This is the third traffic fatality in 2010 and the second on U.S. 221A. Assisting at the scene were Cliffside firefighters, Rutherford County EMS, Rutherford County Rescue, and Traffic Control.

RUTHERFORDTON — Rutherford County’s Airport Authority will meet tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Marchman Field and members will dis-cuss an ongoing tree height ordinance.

For more than six months, board members have heard reports from County Planner Danny Searcy and other county planning office staff on a new tree height require-ment for trees on the various approaches to the airport. The new height is mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The airport might cease being an alternate for Asheville’s airport since the trees have caused a new approach to be delayed by the Federal Aviation Administration.

On Saturday, if you had been out at Crestview Park you would have seen something that is

very rare these days — children playing baseball for the fun of it.

The All-Star Challenger Baseball tournament is an annual event held for youngsters with special needs. These players are not worried about win-ning and losing or what their statistics are, they just want to play ball. That is something that we are rapidly losing in our culture.

There was a time when youngsters gathered in vacant lots, parks or wher-ever they could to play baseball or foot-ball or basketball. They played because they loved to play the games.

Today’s youngsters are too often caught up in the play-to-win, high-pres-sure culture that has enveloped youth sports across the nation. Every parent sees his 10-year-old as a future college or professional star.

Sadly, this new sports culture robs children of something precious — the joy of playing for the fun of it.

Our ViewsWhat happened to the joy of play?

Our readers’ viewsSays experience is good thing, not bad

To the editor: I am writing in response to a

letter that was written by Keith Hunter.

I think Mr. Hunter has a dis-torted view about the way things ought to be.

When does it make sense to kick someone out of a certain office based solely on them hav-ing 30 years of experience ?

If I get sick I’m going to a doctor who knows what they are doing, not to someone because they are new. If my car needs fixed, it’s going to a reli-able garage, not a shade-tree mechanic.

We need people with experi-ence. They are the ones who have weathered the storms of life and endured.

John Michael StreetRutherfordton

Says paraphernalia, incense sales wrong

To the editor:For the past few weeks now, I

have been fuming over the fact that there are several stores in our area that openly display and sell drug paraphernalia.

You know, the glass pipes, glass tubes, alligator clips, gadgets with secret compartments for hiding stuff, flavored cigars ... etc.

They are clever though, in that they know the loopholes to make it OK for them to do this.

Simply displaying a sign that says, “For decoration only,” or “for tobacco use only,” makes everything a OK in the eyes of the law.

However, I challenge you to go buy one and hang it over your rearview mirror, and see how long it takes to see the reflection of blue lights dancing on it..

Now, I ask you, how many people have you ever seen with one of those glass tubes, or one of those glass pipes, using it for decoration? Do these stores sell real tobacco pipes? No, they do not.

But somehow, although we, and the police, all know what that stuff is really used for, and we, and the police, all know that no one smokes blunts without first emptying them of the tobacco that’s in them, and repacking them with marijuana .... we “pretend” that just because they have their silly handwrit-ten signs, it’s OK, and we all “pretend” that there is really any other use for the paraphernalia, and we let them sell the stuff ... because it’s easier to “pretend” than it is to deal with it ... Lord knows, we wouldn’t want to offend anyone.

Well, did you also realize that now, those same stores are sell-ing little foil pouches, filled with herbal incense? I encountered a young man that I know tonight who was obviously high as a kite, grinning from ear to ear, eyes as bloodshot as any pothead’s I’ve ever seen, all glassy.

When I went off like a stick of dynamite about it, I was told it was perfectly legal and there was nothing the cops could do about it ... and I was shown this little foil pouch of “herbal incense.”

And when I said, “But it’s incense and you’re smoking it?” I was told, “No it’s not, not really.”

Oh really? You don’t have to be 18 to purchase it as far as anyone knows.

The stores that sell this stuff are not owned by Americans. I have yet to see one American-owned store selling the para-phernalia either.

My question is, if these stores can get away with it because we “pretend” that it’s used for something else and we, as a county, are fighting a drug prob-lem among our teens and young adults ... then why don’t we go as a community and demand that it be stopped?

Why can’t the citizens and the Merchant’s Associations of this county go and ask these busi-nesses to stop selling the crap that teaches the young people of our county ways around the system, and ways to get high on things you can buy at the corner mart?

These businesses are part of our community also, and the drug problem is their problem too, right? I’ll tell you why they get away with it — because we are all a bunch of idiots who will bury our heads in the sand and continue to pretend.

I, for one, will never ever buy anything from any store that I walk into and see drug para-phernalia and I encourage each and everyone of you to do the same.

If I do unknowingly walk into a store that sells this stuff, I will tell them in no uncertain terms what I think of their sneaky, underhanded attempts, and that I will do everything in my power to put them out of business.

If the legal system will let them do it, then so be it, but we as citizens can shut their doors by blackballing their business.

Sacrifice of professional careers still necessaryAre the days of human sac-

rifice long gone?Remember that story of

Abraham’s near sacrifice of his son Isaac and how God put an end to that sort of thing?

But the tradition continued in a way, according to the Bible, as kings of Israel and Judah regularly executed their rivals and their rivals’ children.

Just before the fall of Judah and the beginning of the exile, King Josiah, hav-ing found copies of God’s laws that had been lost and ignored by the idol-worship-ing prior kings, set out to clean house. He wanted to demonstrate to God and the people that the reforms were real.

So according to II Kings 23:5 he “… put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round

about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heav-en.”

“Put down” probably means executed — sacri-ficed to dramatically show Josiah’s attempt to restore his country’s standing in the eyes of God.

Thank goodness we don’t do it that way anymore.

But the necessity of sacri-ficing professional lives on the altar of the greater good continues in the realm of politics and government. It is an ugly, painful, unfair necessity. But the public leader who fails to change

the leadership of a tainted department has usually made a mistake.

Here is what happens. In a department or agency reporting to the president, governor, or mayor, a scan-dal or some other smelly situation develops and gains public attention and con-cern.

Maybe the leader of the agency, by his or her own swift and decisive action, solves the problem and dismisses the responsible people. Otherwise, the taint is on that agency leader. In such cases, the president, or governor, or mayor has to sacrifice the agency leader.

Otherwise, the taint attaches to the one at the top. When this taint attach-es, the top leader is compro-mised.

Replacing an agency head is always a disruptive and usually a painful exercise for a governmental leader. The situation is more trouble-some when the agency head

has otherwise done a good job.

It is even more trying when the agency head is a trusted friend or supporter of the president, governor, or may-or. Sacrificing a good friend to preserve the position and strength of the top leader may be the most difficult of all the difficult tasks that the top leader has to face.

Our governor, Beverly Perdue, faces this kind of situation today.

The state’s Highway Patrol, beloved and respected by most North Carolinians, is caught in a vortex of trouble, probably caused by only a few officers who have put the enjoyment of personal pleasures ahead of their pro-fessional duties.

The current commander of the patrol probably has no direct responsibility for any of the specific personnel problems that have embar-rassed his organization. But symbolically, at least, he is

responsible for the culture in which the trouble festered.

Even though there may be legal challenges that make it difficult to install new leadership, Governor Perdue must find a way. Unless she takes a decisive step to bring new leadership that is charged and authorized to bring the culture in line with the high expectations of North Carolina’s citizens, the mess at the patrol belongs to her.

Sacrificing a loyal friend and subordinate may be just about as distasteful as the human sacrifice of earlier times. Most people have no stomach for it.

But presidents, governors, and mayors who want to succeed have to come to terms with the necessity to act when the occasion demands it.

Bob SheppardNEW YORK (AP) — Bob

Sheppard, whose stylish, elegant stadium introduc-tions of New York Yankees from Joltin’ Joe to Derek Jeter spanned more than a half century and earned him the nickname “The Voice of God,” died Sunday. He was 99.

Sheppard, a gentle man who spoke with the sonorous authority of a giant, died at his Long Island home.

His voice, however, will live on in recordings. His mel-lifluous tone still is heard at Yankees games, nearly three years after his finale, when it is played to introduce cap-tain Derek Jeter.

Sheppard started with the Yankees in April 1951 and worked his last game at Yankee Stadium in September 2007.

His “Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to Yankee Stadium,” was as much a part of the team’s identity as the pinstripes itself.

Sheppard’s style was so simple, yet became much imitated. Players longed to hear him pronounce their names.

Sheppard was perhaps the only Yankees employee never criticized by hard-driving owner George Steinbrenner, who called him “the gold standard.”

Sheppard also served as the stadium voice of the NFL’s New York Giants from 1956-05; for men’s basket-ball and football at St. John’s University, where he taught; for Army football; and the Cosmos soccer team. He announced for the American Football League’s New York Titans at the Polo Grounds and the World Football League’s New York Stars at Downing Stadium.

He announced at 62 World Series games and a pair of All-Star games, and intro-duced more than 70 Hall of Famers across his career. It was one of them, Jackson, who dubbed Sheppard “The Voice of God.”

FOREST CITY — Whizzy, a 9-year-old Chihuahua, received an all clear exami-nation from her veterinarian Monday after spending the past three days at the bottom of a nearly 60-foot well.

The pet belonging to Jerry and Cheryl Boone of Goldfinch Road in Green Hill fell in the abandoned well Friday and was discov-ered Saturday. Although the family tried to get the dog out of the well, nothing was successful.

Monday morning Rutherfordton and Green Hill firefighters were dis-patched to the scene for a second dog rescue in 10 days. Spindale and Rutherford County Rescue hoisted a boxer/pitt bulldog, Rascal, from a 45-foot well June 30 in Spindale.

Mrs. Boone said the family has been remodeling a bath-room in the old home place for several weeks. The bath-room is located off the living room and under the living room is an abandoned well between 45- to 60-feet deep that was covered.

Since remodeling has been ongoing, the family specu-lates the door underneath the house was left open Friday and Whizzy went underneath the house and fell into the well.

“There must have been a rat hole or something she got through,” Boone said.

The Boones started hearing Whizzy whine after she went missing. They never dreamed

the well was “that deep. It had been dug by Mr. Boone’s dad years ago.

“Then all of a sudden we didn’t hear her anymore,” she said of Whizzy’s noise mak-ing.

After cutting a hole through the living floor, they discovered Whizzy. “She fell right through the hole and to the bottom,” Boone said.

They tried lowering food into the well inside a small basket cage over the week-end, but Whizzy wouldn’t get in the basket.

On Monday, the Boones called for help.

Rutherfordton Fire Chief Tommy Blanton was lowered into the well with the Tripod rescue cable and equipment.

“I had the luck of the draw of being the smallest one there,” Blanton said.

Blanton said after rescue workers arrived at the scene, “the whole deal took about an hour.”

“We have done this before. Last May, we had a horse in a well, we’ve had two dogs and a cat, too,” Blanton added.

Lt. Shad McCurry of the Green Hill Fire Department confirmed Boone’s com-ments.

“We want to thank every-body who came and rescued our dog,” Boone added.

Mrs. Boone said Whizzy will be staying inside the house until the well is filled up and covered again.

est and up to my house.”Boone said homeowner Kevin

Rollins was not home when the fire started.

Emergency personnel arrived on the scene before Rollins or his girlfriend Christy Winne.

“I can’t believe this,” the 36-year-old Rollins said as he and Winne watched their home turn to ash. “I bought this double-wide new in 1994 and I had just worked things out with the bank and the mortgage company to make sure I was all caught up on payments. She and I had been out looking to buy a well pump for the house.”

Authorities theorize that the fire began because a trash barrel was left burning near the deck on the south-ern end of the home.

“This is all preliminary,” said S-D-O Fire Chief Greg Ruppe. “On a hot day like today, this far back in the woods, we couldn’t hope to fight this single-handed. We’re very thankful for our

fellow departments and their helping hand.”

Ruppe and his men continued to fight hot spots in the roof of the struc-ture on into the evening.

“A double-wide like this, where the two halves are joined together in the roof, is enclosed in the middle and open on both sides,” Ruppe explained. “The flames get in there, where we cannot reach them, and then it moves back and forth through the ceiling. The whole roof usually burns off before we can get it out.”

Firefighters brought extra hose and tankers down the gravel road lead-ing to the home, along with fans, gaff hooks and other equipment to try and put down the conflagration. But

each time they thought one half of the home was taken care of, flames licked out of the gutters or windows again and hoses had to be repositioned.

Rollins said he and Winne had minimum insurance on the property, but that he could never have afforded enough insurance to replace every-thing.

“We remodelled it in there and had everything nice. It wasn’t just another double-wide on the inside,” a sobbing Rollins said. “I never really thought about what home meant before. But I know now — now that it’s gone.”

RUTHERFORDTON — A man who had been warehousing video poker machines in Rutherford County accepted a plea arrangement in Superior Court last week and received a suspended sentence.

Charlie W. Brown Jr. pleaded guilty last Wednesday to one mis-demeanor count of manufacturing a slot machine. He was sentenced to 45 days in a Department of Correction facility, suspended for 12 months.

He had been charged with two counts of manufacturing slot machines and one count of warehous-ing video gaming devices.

Part of the plea arrangement is

that the two operable video poker machines are to be forfeited, while the remaining parts and components are to be returned to the defendant but are to be transported away from Rutherford and McDowell counties. Also, Brown is not to operate a video machine operation in either county.

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office seized 106 of the machines in November 2009 at a warehouse facil-ity on Old Caroleen Road.

Officers said 81 were Pot-of-Gold machines and 25 apparently were Hi-Lo 8 machines.

The video poker machines were found when RCSO Officer J.R. Rodriquez was patrolling the ware-house area. He saw an open door and

stepped in to see what was going on the building.

Inside were the video poker machines and a large number of cars and car parts.

Brown, of 306 Seminary St., Saluda, was charged with having the poker machines.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Alex Bass prosecuted the case in Rutherford County Superior Court.

Superior Court Judge Joe Crosswhite presided in the court case.

On Friday, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and the Forest City Police Department closed Trade Street Internet Café, seizing comput-ers that allegedly were being used for gambling.

FOREST CITY — Chase scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and then withstood a Forest City rally to earn a hard-fought 6-5 victory in 9-10 softball action at Dunbar Park.

Chase pitcher Cassidy Pinkerton worked around two walks by striking out the side to get the game started.

Chase’s Sam Craft drew a one-out walk in the bottom half of the first and came around to score on a Forest City throwing error to put Chase up 1-0.

Forest City’s Ally Flack and Lydia Keener drew consecutive walks with two outs in the second, but Pinkerton recorded her sixth strike out of the contest to squelch the threat.

Chase doubled its lead in the next at bat as Bryce Arrowood scored when Talaya Forney ripped a double down the right field line

Forest City tied the contest in the third on a fielder’s choice and an RBI single by Brilyn White.

The game remained tied thanks to a fine defensive play by Chase in the top of the fourth. After Brianna Jenkins uncorked a wild pitch, she hustled to

ATLANTA (AP) — Hank Aaron expected Jason Heyward to make an immediate impact in a sport which needs young black stars.

The 20-year-old Heyward hasn’t disappointed.He has become an overnight fan favorite, voted

to start in Tuesday’s All-Star Game.Is it because he’s young and talented? Yes, but it’s

more than that. Is it because he’s a hometown kid who made it? Sure, but it’s more than that. It is because he is an African-American? No doubt, but it’s more than that.

It’s all those things — and more.Heyward said fans identify with the way he

plays.“I look for excitement,” he said. “This is enter-

tainment. I just go out there and have a good time and fit right in. I don’t put myself above the game. It’s a team game. I enjoy that part of it.”

Atlanta manager Bobby Cox agreed.“I think they like watching him play, to be honest

with you,” Cox said. “It doesn’t hurt to have a little hype. ... The team is playing well, too, but a lot of it is seeing a young kid who plays hard.”

Heyward received more votes, about 2.7 million, than any other Atlanta player, including Martin Prado, the NL’s leading hitter. If not for a thumb injury, Heyward would have been the youngest All-Star starter since Ken Griffey Jr., who was two months younger when voted to start in 1990.

Though the Braves said Heyward won’t play Tuesday, he doesn’t plan to miss his first bow on a national stage.

“I don’t know exactly what I’m going into because I’ve never done it before, but I’m just looking forward to taking it all in and being able to tip my cap to the fans when they announce the names, if that happens,” he said.

Heyward’s start is especially strong considering he’s been playing with the injured thumb the last two months. He jammed it while sliding head-first into third base on May 14 and still has 11 homers and 45 RBIs.

Heyward can come off the 15-day disabled list on Monday and plans to take batting practice at the All-Star game in Anaheim, Calif.

“I just want to enjoy the players, enjoy the fans and that environment and the family and friends that I have with me,” he said. “I’m very apprecia-tive of the fans’ voting. It’s very exciting for myself, for my teammates and for my friends and family.”

Aaron has been watching Heyward for some time. He was captivated by the young black star from the Atlanta area — a perfect for Aaron’s Braves and the sport.

Aaron, who is black, told The Associated Press after Heyward’s debut that he could bring excite-ment back to baseball. “Not only for Atlanta, but also for African-American players,” Aaron said. “We do need to have many, many more Jason Heywards.”

And though he has played well, Heyward could have a better second half.

The first-place Braves can’t wait to see what a healthy Heyward can do after the break. Heyward is a significant part of the Braves’ hopes of holding off the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.

He hopes he will be able to grip a bat comfort-ably.

“If I can bend my thumb and move it all the way and bend it like I need to, I’ll be ready to play ball,” he said.

Heyward said he doesn’t worry about what his numbers might be if not for the injury.

“It is what it is,” he said. “I know we’re in first place. We have one of the best records. That’s what is most important.”

MORZINE, France (AP) — The Tour de France is shaping up as a three-way race among leader Cadel Evans of Australia, defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain and Andy Schleck of Luxembourg.

Evans leads Schleck by just 20 seconds after Schleck won the hardest stage so far on Sunday — a grueling Alpine trek where Lance Armstrong cracked.

With two-time Tour win-ner Contador short of his best form, Evans realizes he has a good chance to win. He slightly injured his left forearm in a minor crash Sunday.

Contador trails by 61 sec-onds ahead of Tuesday’s ninth stage - the punishing Alpine route featuring two category 1 climbs, and a tougher one that is beyond classification: a mam-

moth 15.9-mile ride up the Col de la Madeleine, one of the Tour’s most formidable moun-tain passes.

Meanwhile, Armstrong fin-ished in 61st place in the eighth stage and is more than 13 min-utes behind Evans.

It was a collective victory for all three Tour contenders to see the 38-year-old Armstrong plummet to 39th place.

Death certificates are one of the most important docu-ments to have after the death of a loved one. Official cop-ies of the death certificates, often referred to as “Certi-fied Copies,” are provided by state or local government. In North Carolina, the Regis-ter of Deeds associated with each county is tasked with issuing the certified copies of the death certificate. Survi-vors will need certified copies since simple photocopies are usually not accepted for most purposes. Certified copies of the death certificate will be needed for when applying for life insurance benefits, trans-ferring of titles or deeds of property, and for other busi-ness dealings where proof of death is required.

Your attorney or funeral di-rector can help you determine how many death certificates you may need. The cost varies from state to state, the charge for certified copies in North Carolina is $10.00 each. Your funeral director is usually re-sponsible for obtaining the initial copies for you, or you can obtain them directly your-self. Your funeral director can also assist you in filing for the various death benefits.

Johnson. “This guy’s 15-1. His record speaks for itself.”

The NL will try Tuesday night to end a 13-year drought in baseball’s Midsummer Classic. Jimenez has a 2.20 ERA in 18 starts and 127 innings for the surging Rockies. Price is 12-4 with a 2.42 ERA. Johnson is 9-3 with a majors-best 1.70 ERA for the Marlins.

“I said Jimenez from the begin-ning,” Johnson said. “He was my pick.”

Jimenez’s parents will be in the stands at Angel Stadium, along with his host family from Colorado and other family and friends.

“Any little thing is going to be huge for your career,” Jimenez said. “It’s just a huge honor for me to be out here. Hopefully we can put everything together and break the losing streak.”

Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard will be the National League’s designated hitter and bat cleanup for his regular skipper, Manuel.

“Not only is he my guy, he’s got 119 at-bats against left-handed pitchers and 65 RBIs,” Manuel said. “He can hit ’em. He’s hitting .294. He’s very capable of hitting fourth in an All-Star lineup.”

There was some confusion, how-ever, about Boston third baseman Adrian Beltre. AL manager Joe Girardi announced that Texas third baseman Michael Young would replace Beltre, who left Sunday’s game at Toronto with a strained left hamstring.

But less than an hour later, Beltre said he planned to play.

MLB executive Phyllis Merhige said an announcement about Beltre’s status was made prema-turely. He planned to test his leg at the ballpark before making a final decision.

“They announced it without tell-ing me,” Beltre said.

Girardi is starting Evan Longoria of the Rays at third base, meaning Alex Rodriguez will come off the bench.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Exhaustion etched on their faces, fatigued bodies ready to betray them, the players knew just one goal would be enough to win the elusive World Cup for their nation.

As the clock ticked toward penalty kicks, the shivering crowd at Soccer City Stadium grew anxious.

Spain or the Netherlands would win its first championship if only someone could find the net.

Andres Iniesta did, and Spain rules the soccer world at long, long last.

“We have all done an incredible job,” he said Sunday night, shortly after the 1-0 extra-time victory. “I don’t think we even realize what we have done.”

They beat the Netherlands on Sunday to go one better than the European title Espana won in 2008.

Spain won its last four games by a score of 1-0 — a tight margin that characterized the month-long tour-nament. The World Cup featured a record 31 one-goal decisions out of 64 matches — four more than the previous high set in 2002, according to STATS LLC.

This final was a physical test of

attrition that sometimes turned dirty — a finals-record 14 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a right-footed shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg with about seven minutes left to play, including injury time.

“When I struck it, it just had to go in,” Iniesta said.

For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment.

Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in quali-fying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa.

Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty

much everyone seated in them, including crown prince Willem-Alexander. It was different when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals; this time, the Dutch were something of a home team. And the visitors won.

Spain had pockets of supporters, too, with fans dressed in red and scattered throughout the stadium. Among those cheering were Queen Sofia, Rafael Nadal and Pau Gasol.

Spain’s fans might have been in the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas with a vengeance in trib-ute to their champions.

A second straight World Cup final headed into extra time, with the goalkeepers unbeatable. Stekelenburg, relatively inexperi-enced on the international level, made a spectacular left leg save when Fabregas broke free early in over-time.

The goal in the 116th minute came off a turnover by the Dutch defense that Fabregas controlled just outside the penalty area. Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post.

cover the plate, tagging out a Forest City runner attempting to score the go ahead run.

Forest City played small ball to mount a threat in the fifth as Samantha Steed led off with a bunt single and later scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. Forest City added an insurance run later in the frame to take a 4-2 lead.

Chase responded by batting around in the bottom half, scoring four runs with Destiny Ledbetter delivering the big blow with a two-run single that stayed just fair over the first base bag.

Forest city would not go quietly in the sixth as they scored one run to cut the deficit to 6-5, but Chase got the final out via a strikeout, strand-ing a runner on third to secure the win.

Chase plays Rutherfordton, which defeated Forest City 14-1 on Sunday, today at 6 p.m.

C-ville upsets ChaseBy KEVIN CARVERSports Reporter

RUTHERFORDTON — Chase entered as the undefeated and No. 1 seed following the conclusion of round robin play on Sunday, but a four-run seventh inning by No.3 seed Cherryville eliminated Chase in the Junior League All Star semifinals with a 6-3 win Monday at Crestview

Park.Run production hadn’t been a prob-

lem for Chase in the three previous games as they averaged more than 12 runs a game coming into Monday’s contest.

On Monday, Chase, which dealt Cherryville a 10-5 loss on Saturday, couldn’t overcome the pitching effort of Tyler Beam.

Beam worked six innings, allowed six hits, fanned six and had the game-winning hit to move Cherryville into the Junior League finals which begins at 6:30 tonight at Crestview Park.

Tied at 2-2 in the seventh and final frame, Cherryville’s Beam clobbered a two-RBI double down the right field line. Clay Hallman added a two-RBI single later to pad the margin.

Chase took a lead in the first inning. A lead-off single to deep center by Aaron Ballinger was fol-lowed by an interference call on the Cherryville first baseman which put Ballinger to second.

Ballinger quickly swiped third base and Tyler Weaver’s groundout sent Ballinger home for the 1-0 Chase lead.

Cherryville struck back in the third inning with a single by Beam into short right and Hallman’s groundout pushed Beam over to second. Ethan Heafner’s slap single to left scored Beam to tie the game at 1-1.

Heafner, who advanced to second on the throw home during the play, wouldn’t stay on the bases long. On a flyout to Chase’s Geoffrey Rollins in right field, Heafner tagged up

and sprinted for third where he was gunned down by Rollins’ perfect throw to third base for the inning-ending double play.

The tie lasted only an inning as Cherryville’s Tommy Garwood crushed a home run to right to lead-off the bottom of the fourth frame for a 2-1 lead.

Chase gained momentum in the top of the fifth on a lead off Robbie Evans base hit to left and pinch hit-ter, T.J. Robinson brought Evans home with a damaging double that played off the fence in left to knot the game at 2-2.

After Cherryville plated four runs in the top of the seventh, Chase could only muster an RBI single by Seth Cole, which was set up by Robinson’s lead off double in the bottom half of the frame.

Rutherfordton and Forest City were playing in the second game with the winner advancing to play Cherryville for the title tonight.

NEW YORK — NBA commis-sioner David Stern congratulated LeBron James on his decision. He just wishes it came without “The Decision.”

Speaking from Las Vegas, where the league’s owners met Monday, Stern said he would have advised James to tell the Cleveland Cavaliers of his choice to leave for the Miami Heat much earlier than when it actually took place — and that the two-time MVP shouldn’t have made the announcement in a made-for-TV special.

“Ill-conceived,” Stern said.James, Dwyane Wade and Chris

Bosh all decided last week to play together in Miami, working out six-year deals after talking with each other at times throughout the free-agent process. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Sunday he wanted the NBA to examine how all three joined the same team.

But in the Monday meeting of the league’s Board of Governors, no formal complaints were levied=

“Our players, having negotiated for the right to be free agents at some point in their career, are totally within their rights to seek employment with any other team,” Stern said. “That’s something we agreed to. That’s something we embrace. That’s our system.”

Stern says Big 3 within their rights

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A crew member refusing to talk to federal investigators about a fatal duck boat crash in Philadelphia was piloting the tug that slammed into the duck boat, a Coast Guard official said Monday.

The mate exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to meet with investigators over the weekend, according to the National Transportation and Safety Board.

U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Todd Gatlin confirmed to The Associated Press that the mate was on duty as the tug pushed a 250-foot barge up the Delaware River. The crew of the duck boat told the NTSB that its radio calls to the tug “received no response,” although other boat

operators nearby reported hear-ing them.

The collision last week sank the tourist vessel, dumping 37 people overboard and killing two young Hungarians.

The tug, The Caribbean Sea, had been moved to Philadelphia on June 24, Gatlin said. It pre-viously had been in New York Harbor, according to Joseph Dady, a national tug safety advocate who once piloted the vessel.

The tug’s crew consisted of a captain, the mate, an engineer and two deckhands, the NTSB said.

“The mate was on duty ... and the captain was off,” Gatlin told the AP.

By law, either the captain or mate must be at the wheel at all times, said Dady, presi-

dent of the National Mariners Association and a member of the Coast Guard’s Towing Safety Advisory Commission.

An 18-year-old trainee had been at the wheel of the duck boat when it entered the water, but the captain took over when the engine appeared to smoke, a passenger said Monday. The pair cut the engine, dropped anchor and were waiting calmly for help for several minutes when they saw the hulking barge bear down on them.

“Our younger fellow was out there flailing and calling, and obviously nobody saw him. I came to find out that nobody was on deck on the barge,” passenger Sandy Cohen said Monday from her home in Durham, N.C. “And then they couldn’t reach them by radio.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A gunman angry about a domestic violence dispute with his girlfriend forced his way into the manufactur-ing plant where she works and killed two employees Monday before turn-ing the gun on himself.

Four others were wounded in a rampage police said was motivat-ed by the shooter’s disgust over a domestic violence dispute involving the girlfriend.

Police Chief Ray Schultz said it was not immediately clear whether the 37-year-old girlfriend was among the victims in the murder-suicide at the fiber optics and solar manufacturing plant in Albuquerque. He said the targeted woman had told co-workers she planned to report domestic vio-lence to authorities.

It was also not known how the shooter got past security at Emcore Corp., but his first victim was a per-son who confronted him on the way into the facility.

Then he went through the build-ing firing shots at several employees and leaving behind a gruesome scene of blood and shell casings across the company headquarters. Responding officers had to step past several vic-tims — one dead and several wound-ed — as they raced into the building to stop the gunman.

Mayhem unfolded as he opened fire, sending employees fleeing for cover as police locked down the entire neighborhood.

“This is the worst nightmare you can think of,” Schultz said. “No one wants to have a situation like this occur in their community.”

Schultz initially told reporters six people were dead, but authorities later revised the count to say only

three were dead.Schultz explained that responding

officers had seen people down and believed they were dead, then con-tinued into the building to search for the gunman. Officers who arrived later determined they had survived. A third victim was double-counted by a hospital.

Schultz said the gunman carried a handgun and investigators were try-ing to determine if there were addi-tional weapons. No victims’ names have been released.

Schultz said the gunman and his girlfriend had children who live in Rio Rancho and said they were taken into custody by “another agency.” The chief said there was at least one previous domestic violence call involving the gunman outside Albuquerque.

Schultz called the Emcore cam-pus “a very secure facility” and said it appeared the gunman forced his way into the building before entering several areas. Schultz said detectives and FBI agents were reviewing sur-veillance video.

“It’s a large and complex shooting scene,” he said.

He said 226 people were transport-ed by bus from Emcore buildings to a community center, where detec-tives interviewed them. Employees also were offered grief counseling and treatment for asthma or diabetic conditions.

Emcore manufactures components that allow voice, video and data transmission over fiber optic lines. They also make solar power systems for satellite and ground-based sys-tems, and Schultz said the company deals with numerous federal con-tracts.

Based in Albuquerque, the compa-ny has about 700 full-time employ-ees. The gunman is a former employ-ee, police said.

7-month-old Tennessee boy found safe in Miami

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say a 7-month-old boy forcibly taken from his mother in Greene County has been found safe in Miami.

Authorities late Monday after-noon canceled an Amber Alert for Drake Kingston Boyd, who was taken about 4 p.m. Sunday.

Police were seeking 35-year-old David Jackson, 20-year-old Brooke Lashae Collins and 24-year-old Ashley Mclynda Laughlin. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Jackson is the baby’s father.

A third woman also was suspect-ed, but has only been identified by the nickname “Bunny.”

There was no immediate word Monday on arrests.

N.Y. woman put off plane in N.C. arrested

RALEIGH (AP) — A woman who was removed from a flight that was diverted to North Carolina has been charged with disorderly con-duct after police say she later got into an argument with an airline employee.

Officials at Raleigh-Durham Airport told multiple media outlets an unruly passenger was removed

from a Southwest Airlines flight from Orlando, Fla., to Providence, R.I., that landed in Raleigh on Saturday evening.

Airport spokesman Andrew Sawyer told WRAL-TV that 46-year-old Tina Seymour of Mastic Beach, N.Y., came back to the airport intoxicated two hours later and got into an argument with a baggage claim employee.

A Wake County arrest warrant says Seymour used profanity and resisted attempts by police to hand-cuff her. She was being held in the Wake County jail until a hearing Monday.

Two killed, one injured in crash on S.C. highway

EASLEY, S.C. (AP) — Two peo-ple have died and another person injured in a crash in the northwest-ern part of South Carolina.

Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Scot Edgeworth told the Independent-Mail of Anderson that the drivers of both cars involved in Sunday morn-ing’s crash were killed. A message left for the Pickens County Coroner seeking the victims’ identities was not returned.

Edgeworth said the injured pas-senger was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital. Her condition was not immediately available.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Live underwater video showed a new cap was placed Monday onto the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico, offering hope of containing the gusher for the first time since BP’s deepwater rig exploded in April.

BP officials did not immediate-ly comment on the video images streamed online by the company.

The company has said the next step will be running tests to make sure there are no other leaks from the well. Tests and monitoring could last from six hours to two days, and oil will still leak into the Gulf during that time.

The old cap, removed Saturday, did not have a tight fit and allowed

crude to escape.The cap is only meant to be a tem-

porary fix. To permanently plug the well, BP is drilling two relief wells to reach the blown-out well from underground and inject heavy drill-ing mud and concrete.

BP expects one relief well will do the job, but it’s drilling a second as a backup. Officials have offered vary-ing estimates for when that work will be done, but mid-August is the most common timeframe.

The cap removed Saturday was installed June 4 to capture oil gush-ing from the bottom of sea, but because it had to be fitted over a jag-ged cut in the well pipe, it allowed some crude to escape into the Gulf.

New cap put on oil well

Business/finance

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks closed mixed Monday as inves-tors grew more cautious while they waited for the start of sec-ond-quarter earnings reports. And they got some good news after trading ended, when Alcoa Inc. reported better than expected results.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 18 points and the other big indexes also had slight gains. But almost two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, a sign that investors were wary about earnings.

Alcoa didn’t disappoint them. The aluminum maker beat ana-lysts’ expectations, and it also said it was raising its forecast for consumption of the metal this year. That was particularly heartening for investors who have worried that the global economy was slowing, or even headed for another recession. The company’s stock rose nearly 3 percent in after-hours trading.

Investors made few big moves as they waited for Alcoa’s earn-ings. So they showed little reac-tion to news of several corporate acqusitions.

Insurance broker Aon Corp. said it will buy human resources company Hewitt Associates for

$4.9 billion in cash and stock, and Playboy Enterprises Inc. founder Hugh Hefner offered to take the media company private. Also Avon Products Inc. agreed to buy Silpada Designs for $650 million in a bid to expand its jewelry business.

Investors generally see acquisi-tions as a sign that companies are confident and willing to spend cash to expand.

Earnings are likely to domi-nate trading for the next few weeks. Investors are seeking insight into the state of the economy not only from how well companies fared during the April-June period, but also from their forecasts for the coming quarters. In particular, investors want to see whether sluggish retail sales, waning consumer confidence and high unemploy-ment have actually hurt corpo-rate profits.

Greg Estes, fund manager at Intrepid Capital Funds in Jacksonville Beach, Fla., said of companies’ forecasts, “people are really wanting to see things get better.” He said some indus-tries like technology were more likely to report improvement versus those that rely more on consumer spending.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones

industrial average rose 18.24, or 0.2 percent, to 10,216.27. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 0.79, or 0.1 percent, to 1,078.75, while the Nasdaq com-posite index rose 1.91, or 0.1 per-cent, to 2,198.36.

Volume on the NYSE came to a light 855 million shares as many investors chose to sit out the day while they waited for Alcoa’s report.

Investors’ caution followed the market’s biggest weekly gains in a year. Some analysts have ques-tioned how long the rebound would last. But if earnings and companies’ forecasts are upbeat and indicate that the economic recovery is proceeding despite continuing high unemployment and weak consumer spending, investors are likely to keep buy-ing.

Economic news this week should shed some light about how well the recovery is going. In addition to earnings reports, readings are also due on retail sales, weekly jobless claims, manufacturing activity, con-sumer sentiment and inflation.

Bond prices traded in a tight range. The yield on the bench-mark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, rose to 3.07 percent from 3.06 percent late Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stepped up pressure on Monday to get banks to boost lending to the nation’s small businesses, a critical element to spurring the economic recovery and reducing unemployment.

Bernanke and other regulators have urged banks since February to increase their lending to smaller companies. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have com-plained that small businesses that want to take out loans are having trouble getting them. Banks have countered by saying demand is weak.

Bernanke’s latest comments come as legisla-tive efforts to jump-start small business lending have languished and the recovery has been los-ing momentum. He made them at a Fed confer-ence exploring ways to help boost lending to small companies.

“Making credit accessible to sound small busi-nesses is crucial to our economic recovery,” Bernanke said. “More must be done,” he pledged.

While big companies have stockpiled cash and are expected to report strong profits starting this week, small businesses have struggled to secure loans to expand and hire.

The disparity between large and small busi-nesses has been one reason the recovery has not picked up and could even stall. Small businesses usually help drive job creation during recoveries.

They employ roughly half of all Americans and account for about 60 percent of gross job creation, Bernanke said. And newer small businesses, those less than two years old, are especially important. Over the past 20 years, these startup enterprises accounted for roughly one-quarter of gross job creation, even though they employed less than 10 percent of the work force, he added.

The Obama administration in early May sent Congress a proposal to create a $30 billion sup-port program to unfreeze credit for the nation’s small businesses. The fund would provide sup-port to small and medium-sized banks with assets under $10 billion to encourage them to increase lending to small businesses. The legislation has yet to pass in the Senate.

A pair of traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday.

Puzzle

Dear Dr. Gott: This is in response to the reader who asked about her doctor no longer admitting patients to the hospital. As a staff registered nurse, I can tell you that we love it when a hospitalist is the admitting physician. This means that there is a 24-hour resource right there within the hospital — no calling and wak-ing a doctor in the middle of the night. I feel patients get extraor-dinary care when there’s someone onsite to deal with any situation that comes up. I would in no way seek out a different primary-care physician, but rather celebrate that I would have a specialist available 24 hours a day, not just at rounding time!

Dear Reader: From a medical standpoint, hospitalists are often considered a godsend by physicians, nurses and other hospital staff alike. However, not all patients think the same. Many who have a good relationship with their physician

are uncomfortable at suddenly not being able to see him or her. When a patient is in the hospital and not feeling his or her best and/or scared, anxious or worried, someone famil-iar and comfortable is preferred.

The issue of hospitalists is com-plex to say the least. They are as competent and caring as physicians who maintain private or group prac-tices, and they are available to assist patients in the hospital at any time. But, again, unless the patient is in and out of the hospital on a regular basis and familiar with the staff or is comfortable with the situation, many will be uncomfortable having a stranger suddenly in control.

Nurse appreciates hospitalists

Dear Abby: My husband started exercising, is now on a strict diet and listening to love songs from the ‘60s. He has never been interested in these things before.

I overheard him on the phone talk-ing about going to his high school reunion this summer, 400 miles away. When I asked him why he hadn’t mentioned it to me, he said it’s because I’m not invited. I was shocked. Then he said he’s going with three of his old “buddies.” I asked if their wives were going and he said, “No, they’re divorced, but have girlfriends.”

My husband is now giving me the silent treatment. I’m sick about it. What do you make of all this? — Heartsick

Dear Heartsick: I make of it that you don’t trust your husband because he tries to sneak things past you and wasn’t up front about this from the beginning. If he had said he was planning to attend, and that he and three of his old bud-dies wanted to pretend they were teenagers again, you might have felt differently. Because he didn’t, I can see why you would find the situation threatening.

Since you seem to have trouble communicating your feelings to each other, some sessions with a marriage counselor might help you reach a

better understanding.Dear Abby: I left my wife for a

much younger woman two years ago. Despite what my ex-wife says, it was not a mid-life crisis. I was very unhappy with my wife and our mar-riage. Our divorce has been final for seven months — although I’m begin-ning to wonder if it will ever truly be “final.” My girlfriend, “Nicole,” is anxious for us to be married and start building a life together.

I have told Nicole that I’m not ready and I need some time. What is a reasonable time to expect someone to recover and be emotionally ready to remarry after an extremely bitter divorce? And what do you suggest? — Still Healing

Dear Still Healing: Some people are ready to remarry within months of a divorce. For others, the heal-ing process can take years. I suggest you call Nicole’s bluff. She is anxious because she is beginning to doubt that she’ll get you to the altar. The feelings you are experiencing are normal after a bitter divorce.
