Helping hands
Snow, ice may greet morning drivers BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
Rowan County entered this morning under a winter storm warning, bracing for the new year’s first measurable snowfall and some freezing rain to top it off. Rowan-Salisbury Schools were canceled for today. “It’s going to be pretty interesting,” promised Andrew Kimball, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Greer, S.C. Snow was expected to begin falling as early as State offers daybreak today, advice for safe and Kimball said driving, 3A the highest “snow rate” would happen around midday to early afternoon. Later, the precipitation probably will change to a freezing rain or freezing drizzle, tapering off early Tuesday morning. Kimball said Salisbury could see about 4 inches of snow. Northern sections of Rowan County may not see that much, as the weather system tracks in from the south. Ice is the real “x” factor in today’s storm. Kimball predicted only a tenth-of-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The shooting rampage in Arizona seems to have created a reset moment for confrontational politics, as lawmakers reflect on the repercussions of the overheated rhetoric traded on the airwaves and on the campaign trail. Members of Congress from both parties called Sunday for civility over belligerence as the House temporarily shelved the contentious debate over repealing the health care law and lawmakers paused to contemplate the tragedy. Critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the apparent target of a lone shooter, emerged as a potent and cautionary symbol of the current political climate. Still, there was no clear motivation for the attack, and some warned against making provocative politicians and commentators the culprits in the assault. Six died and 14 were wounded in the shooting at a Tucson shopping center where Giffords was holding a gathering with constituents. Authorities said the attack was

YESTERDAY: May Queen Mildred Collins of Salisbury shared this picture of the May Queen and her court during the May Queen Festival for Spencer High School in 1934. Alma Curlee, center, was May Queen, thanks to her ability to raise pennies. “The one who got the most pennies got to be May Queen,” Collins says. “Back in those days, it wasn’t easy to raise pennies.” Collins is the fourth girl from the right. The photograph was taken in Spencer’s old town park, a block from the school. Collins can remember some of the names. The girl second from the left is Edna Rose Harrison, and Ann J. Benton Parker is next to her (third from left). Mildred Benton is to the
immediate left of the queen, and Evelyn Lippett is to the right of the queen. Mildred Collins was Mildred Julian at the time. She later married A.L. “Chick” Collins. An interesting side note: The couple were married in South Carolina April 20, 1935. Accompanying them on the trip to South Carolina were May Queen Alma Curlee and the man she married, Tom Shores.

• Don’t put gum or anything that comes out of your nose in or under anything except for the garbage cans. • Wash your clothes after each workout. Just because you took them out of the gym bag and they dried does not mean they are clean; “just dry” will not get the smell out. If you wear workout gloves, check them, they might need to be washed, too, or just thrown away. • Please wipe the machines down after you are done. • Re-rack your weights when you are done. Your mother doesn’t work here. • Not everyone wants to talk while working out. If they don’t talk back, it is a good indicator they are not interested. It is all about respect, isn’t it?
Bathroom etiquettes • Bathroom is not a changing area. • Please flush after your business. • Wash your hands, but please turn faucets off. • Put trash in trash can (amazing, right?). • When you “tinkle” on the seat, please wipe up. • We can still hear everything you say on the phone behind that closed door. • Do not flush anything else other than one, two and toilet paper, please.
Locker room etiquette • LOCK all your valuable belongings. Just because you hide them does not mean they can’t be found. • In sauna and/or steam room, have towel wrapped or bathing suit on. • There will be some nudity in the locker room when you are changing your clothes. However, prancing around nude is not some-

Group exercise class etiquette • No, “your” spot is not just reserved for you. • Taking a class means someone is instructing you. Your talking throughout the class is really disrespectful, not only to the instructor but also to the other class participants. • Don’t go in the room when the other class is still in session or is trying to clean up to get out. • When you run in late or have to leave early, please do so quietly with the least amount of disruption. • Please turn your cell phone off. If you need it on, please pick it up immediately and walk out of the room to talk. • If at all possible, clean your mat after you use it. • Take a class within your fitness abilities. Going too intense will increase your risk of injury. And not being able to keep up can put you and other class participants in danger of getting hurt. Class descriptions are available. I know I just touched the tip of the iceberg. But keep this in mind: Be respectful, honest, responsible and caring in all the things you do and everything will be all right.

Q: I am really happy that a lot more people are working out but can you go through that one list you always do at the beginning of the year? A: I believe you are talking about the “Fitness etiquette” list. I love to re-write “the list” and lets add locker room and bathroom etiquette. • Wear comfortable clothes. However, make sure they cover all that needs to be covered. Men and women, make sure all your parts are covered, top and bottom. Oh, and women should wear a bra or sports bra. • Athletic shoes are highly recommended. If you don’t have them, make sure you wear closed shoes. Flip flops, opentoed shoes are a no-no. That inESTER cludes muddy boots. MARSH • Please wear deodorant, just because you don’t smell yourself does not mean we don’t smell you. • Flip side of that, don’t wear excess perfume or aftershave. If we can still smell you after you’ve left, you are wearing too much. • Please put bags and/or coats out of other people’s way. (the locker room is a GREAT place to put them) Dropping it where you work out is not an option. • Don’t hog the equipment. Shorter, intense workouts will get you to your goal sooner and everyone will get along. • Don’t sing along with your iPod/MP3 CD player, etc., please. Enough said. • We really can hear everything you are saying when you are on the phone. Do you really want all of us to know your personal business?

Will mo-ped drivers need a license? BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Every day, Woodleaf resident Joe Rogers rides to work on a mo-ped. The motorized scooter can only travel up to 30 miles per hour and provides no protection from the weather. But it’s the only option he has to drive himself to work without a license. “I don’t care how cold it is,” Rogers said. “I have to get to work to support my five grandchildren.” Rogers, who runs a handyman service, lost his driver’s license about 15 years ago for driving while impaired. He was charged again for habitual impaired driving 10 years ago, but since then his record is clear. “I was a real heavy drinker,” he said. “Now, I haven’t had a drink or a ticket in years, but I still don’t have my license.” At least 17 states have adopted laws requiring moped drivers to carry a license for their vehicles. Two such bills have been brought up in the North Carolina House and Senate. They died in committee in 2009, but at least one cosponsor says it will likely be re-introduced. N.C. Rep. Bill McGee, RForsyth, said the House bill he co-sponsored was introduced for safety reasons. “It’s important for people on the highways to have knowledge of the law that they are to abide by on the road-
way,” McGee said. “When you ride a bicycle, you don’t have to have a license, but a mo-ped is a motor vehicle.” Currently, a person must be 16 years old to drive a moped and riders must wear a safety helmet. A mo-ped cannot have a motor of more than 50 cubic centimeters, an external shifting device or have the capability of exceeding 30 miles per hour on a level surface, or it must be registered as a motorcycle. Another bill introduced in the House that died in committee would have required registration, tags and insurance for mo-peds. Tom Crosby, spokesman with AAA Carolinas, said AAA would be in favor of both kinds of laws in North Carolina. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, the number of mo-pedrelated fatalities nearly doubled from 48 to 96 between 2005 and 2009. “Often, mo-peds are not sufficiently powered to maintain safe traveling speeds with four-wheeled vehicles,” Crosby said. “The speed differential can be a killer.” He said requiring mo-ped drivers to be licensed would help train them to deal with these dangers. Mo-ped accidents this past summer and fall in Rowan County resulted in critical injuries and a near amputation. One involved alcohol, and the other was caused when the mo-ped driver failed to yield.
Darian Wagoner, owner of Motts Powersports in Salisbury, said he doesn’t mind mandatory registration and insurance for mo-peds. But if mo-ped riders had to have driver’s licenses, that would “greatly affect” his business. “I had a guy in here this morning who is not mentally capable of acquiring a driver’s license, but he can get around,” Wagoner said. “What people think these are for — and the majority are — is people with DWIs who lost their licenses, but there are others, too.” He said the law would hurt people like Rogers who rely on mo-peds as job transportation. Rogers looked into getting his license reinstated two years ago, but he said the process is complicated and costly. Attending special classes and participating in a state hearing could cost thousands of dollars. “You could buy a house — a down payment on one — with what they charge you,” Rogers said. “There’s no way I can afford that.” He said he wouldn’t mind having to register his vehicle with a tag and buying liability insurance, but requiring a driver’s license would “destroy” him. “How would I go to work?” Rogers said. “Walking is a greater risk and takes too long. I could ride a bicycle, but I’d have to leave at 4 a.m. some days.” To deal with the dangers of
As a music teacher, George Follett Wilson Sr. had one commandment: “Thou shalt do the best thee can and then some.” Once known as Salisbury’s “Music Man,” especially for the highly acclaimed Broadway musical productions his Boyden High School students performed, Wilson died Saturday in Salisbury. At his death, the 83-yearold Wilson had just moved into the N.C. Veterans Home at the Hefner VA Medical Center. He had been living at his Forsyth County home with his wife, Doris. Funeral arrangements are still being worked out. One of his sons, Alfred, said Sunday night the service may wait until the end of the week as family members make travel arrangements to be here. From 1957-71, George F. Wilson Sr. was the face of the music department at Boyden High School, as both its band and choral director. In his resignation letter April 19, 1971, he noted that when he took the job, the band had 24 members; the mixed chorus, five. “I leave Boyden High School with 100 registered for band, 135 for mixed chorus and 176 registered in consumer music for the school year 1971-72,” Wilson said. The late Post Editor George Raynor wrote a column in 1982 after he ran into his old friend at the N.C. Oyster Festival in Brunswick County, where Wilson had moved in 1971 to re-establish band and music programs in those public schools. “George Wilson is best remembered haranguing his cast at a rehearsal or presiding over an orchestra

Stars not quite in alignment when I taught astronomy to my classmates I
n grade school in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I was known as an astronomy “nut,” paleontology “nut,” geology “nut,” insect “nut” and son. As far as the sciences were concerned, I MACK was posWILLIAMS sessed of well-rounded “nuttiness.” In my freshman year at
East Rowan, 1965, the prescribed freshman science course covered many of those areas of my fairly proficient “nuttiness,” including astronomy. Mrs. Clifton was my freshman science teacher. She was a very sweet lady, very slight of build, who wore her hair after the fashion of Olive Oyl. She came across as someone who had been the most studious of students in her formative years, a bookworm (only the most positive connotations of that word are meant in
reference to her here). Mrs. Clifton’s husband suffered from disabilities stemming from his service in the Vietnam War. That war, along with the Cold War and several notable assassinations of the time, mixed with many other experiences into the mold of the person which each of us would become. Mr. Clifton had a “green” method for keeping his yard trimmed, even before green became “green,” with the use of a couple of tethered goats.
As I was fairly proficient in astronomy, Mrs. Clifton came up with the idea of me teaching that subject to the class for a week. If it had been of longer duration, I’m afraid that the members of the class would have ganged up on me and I would have suffered the same fate as the man my Latin teacher, Mrs. Puckett, had told us about, whose fate is forever linked to the Ides of March. I say this, because for some reason, I came up with the idea of having a short true-or-false test at the end
of each class (made worse by Mrs. Clifton telling them that it would count on their grade) each day for a whole week. (The reason for my doing this probably having something to do with the old saying: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”) Years before there would ever be a “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” for that week I was kind of like Bill Nye, but my inspiration for daily quizzes (which counted), made me seem like “Bill Nye from the darkside,” (or from a similar place to which the
class probably would have liked me to go). It is true what they say in sociology (and stand-up comedians) about a crowd having its own distinct personality. As the week went on, I felt that the “seated crowd” before me became increasingly indisposed to me, not just as a teacher, but as a person. As evidence of my attitude, I even got carried away with myself on the true-or-false quizzes and

Basnight exit ends unique run in NC politics BY GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press
RALEIGH — Whether from his political passion for North Carolina or just raw power, Marc Basnight was like no other leader in the history of the General Assembly. Sure, other legislative chiefs came from humble beginnings in far-flung areas of the state with little formal education like Basnight. They learned to pull the political levers and create a powerful Democratic machine that favored their constituents while promoting an agenda they believed was best for the state. But no one did it for so long as Basnight, who announced last week a chronic nerve disease was prompting him to retire from the Legislature later this month after 26 years, a record 18 of them as Senate president pro tempore until November’s victories by Republicans ended his reign. What makes the run more astounding is that the Dare County Democrat and his lieutenants extended the party’s centurylong majority in the Senate even as North Carolina evolved further into a twoparty state. They won by raising millions of dollars more than Republicans for Senate races, winning over enough northern transplants moving to the Piedmont by adapting to the times — for example, focusing more on high-tech as textiles and tobacco faded. “I have been surprised by the world as it has changed.

seems that change has been daily, not gradual,” the 63year-old Basnight said in making his announcement to resign Jan. 25, but in part summed up his success this way: “I always ... would like to think large.” The longevity allowed him to put his imprint on every major policy change over the past two decades, from teacher accountability in the public schools to dedicated money for water quality projects and an unprecedented building expansion on University of North Carolina system campuses. “He’s done so many remarkable things that are here forever,” said John Davis, a longtime North Carolina political consultant. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the (legislative) history of the state that’s done more.” The Manteo sewer contractor arrived in state government in 1977 with little other than a high school diploma and his distinctive Outer Banks accent. Basnight’s persona fed the supposition he was appointed to the Board of Transportation only as a favor for supporting Jim Hunt for governor. Basnight succeeded his uncle as a senator seven years later. Basnight was an effective board member and senator for his district, and became a voracious reader, turning himself into an authority on the state’s environment and the UNC system — two items that resonated with independent
voters. And he made it a point of stopping to meet constituents on his weekly commute to Raleigh to learn about their needs. Basnight rose to a co-chairmanship of the appropriations committee and won the president pro tempore’s job in 1993, only a few years after Democrats shifted the power reserved for the lieutenant governor, who presides over the chamber, to the post. “I’m sure he didn’t threaten a lot of people when he initially came to the Senate, but he certainly proved what some hard work and drive can do,” said former Sen. Wib Gulley, D-Durham, who served in the Senate for 11 years with Basnight. While no one had ever served longer than eight years as a leader at the Legislature, Basnight more than doubled that length, creating what looked like an unstoppable machine. Republicans were helpless during Basnight’s era — GOP senators complained Basnight had consolidated too much power and ran the chamber behind closed doors in the Senate Democratic caucus. “He ran it with an iron fist,” said Sen. Andrew Brock, RDavie. “He really held the Democrats together and really used his personality and those around him to really put on a solid front.” Basnight doesn’t buy that narrative, pointing out that he created more openness in state government. In the
1980s, the state’s spending plan was decided essentially by the so-called “Gang of Eight,” a de facto committee of House and Senate Democrats that controlled the negotiations. “It was controlled at the top — I did not like that,” he said. Gulley praised Basnight for opening further the budget process to more senators but said he still limited who could make changes: “I wish Marc had not played favorites to a few folks and a few friends quite as much.” Basnight contends he only twice forced a vote on an issue: 2009 legislation that banned smoking in restaurants and bars and a final vote on creating the lottery in 2005, which he hastily assembled and won when two Republicans stayed away from the Legislative Building and nowGov. Beverly Perdue cast the tie-breaking vote while lieutenant governor. Still, complaints were common to the end that Basnight got what he wanted. Perdue, who got her big break when Basnight appointed her a budget co-chair in the mid-1990s, said she believed Basnight’s heart was in the right place. “There will be a lot of pros and cons about Marc Basnight written,” Perdue said recently, but “I really can never tell you one time that I ever saw him or heard him do anything that he didn’t genuinely believe was for the good of North Carolina.

FROM 3a threw in a totally nonsensical question: “The planet Mercury is made of bubble gum,” incontrovertible evidence that I was becoming a smart aleck or something else with the same meaning and initials, the same word “smart,” but with another word, also beginning with the letter “a,” substituted for the word “aleck”. One day, while talking to the class about meteorites, I turned my back to them to write something on the blackboard and felt something strike the back of my head. Instead of a meteorite, it was a small, balled-up paper sphere infused with spit.

I have attended a few of the reunions of East Rowan’s Class of 1969, but no one made mention of my week as a science teacher, proving that these people are too nice to bring up the subject (or that this is just further evidence that unpleasant things are repressed and forgotten). I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my uncalled-for, overzealous testing of the class, as well as for my attitude that week, and I hope that the one who checked “true” about the planet Mercury being made of bubble gum knew then, (or does now) that when I gave that question, I was only being “Bill Nye the wise guy,” but maybe that student was being a wise guy, too.

Duke, Progress Energy in talks NEW YORK (AP) — Duke Energy is close to a deal to buy utility holding company Progress Energy for more than $13 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter. An announcement of the all-stock deal could come as early as Monday, the Journal said. Both of the companies have big investments in nuclearpower projects and are based in North Carolina. Including $11.4 billion in Progress’s long-term net debt and excluding the $691 million in cash it had as of Sept. 30, the total deal value is $24 billion to $26 billion.

After his discharge in 1945, he returned to finish high school and earned his degree in music from Appalachian State. He often supported himself with his music and was accomplished on the clarinet, flute and saxophone. His part-time musical exploits brought him in contact with the Barnum & Bailey Circus, Ice Capades and Judy Garland, according to newspaper accounts. Before taking the Salisbury teaching job, he had taught in Valdese. George Wilson Sr. is survived by five children, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

at one of his famous Boyden High musicals in the ’60s,” Raynor wrote, “or at the head of the marching band at the football games. Or arguing and laughing with friends.” At the time, Wilson was working the Oyster Festival crowd, trying to drum up votes for his run for the Brunswick County school board. He later won a spot on the board. In 1960, Wilson produced and his high school students starred in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.” It was used as a vehicle for getting more kids in the music program. The successful production
Boyden High Class of 1961 paid tribute to Wilson at its 40th class reunion. About 100 of his former students took the stage at Salisbury High the night before the reunion and thanked the teacher who gave them the gifts of singing and acting. Wilson attended from his home in Forsyth County. “If you were in Mr. Wilson’s shows,” Arnold Chamberlain said at the time, “you were something.” Many of today’s Salisburians still remember having a part in one of Wilson’s shows.

Kodachrome processing to end PARSONS, Kan. (AP) — A southeast Kansas business that is the last place in the world to process Kodachrome has been inundated with the elaborately crafted color-reversal film as it prepares to stop handling it. Grant Steinle primarily runs Dwayne’s Photo, the business in the small town of Parsons that his father founded in 1956. He said the company received “a tsunami of film” after announcing it would stop processing Kodachrome at the end of 2010. The Kansas City Star reported that the stop date for processing the film has been postponed to today or Tuesday at the earliest. Business has been so hectic that for a time, processing went on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dec. 30 was the deadline for submitting film, which has arrived from as far away
as China, Japan and Australia. “Normally we get 20 to 30 packages a day from FedEx and three or four bags of mail from the post office,” Steinle said. “One day last week, we got 500 packages from FedEx, 250 from UPS and probably 18 bags of mail.” One Arkansas railroad worker who photographed trains recently picked up 1,580 rolls from Dwayne’s. The $15,798 bill was so steep that he had to tap his father’s retirement account to pay it. Kodachrome enjoyed its mass-market heyday in the 1960s and ‘70s before being eclipsed by video and easy-to-process color negative films, the kind that prints are made from. It garnered its share of spectacular images, none more iconic than Abraham Zapruder’s reel of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

Temperatures will top out around freezing today and be in the upper 20s tonight. Tuesday’s high is expected around 34, with lows Tuesday night again in the 20s. Kimball said an arctic high coming in behind the snow and ice means temperatures will be “way below normal” for much of the week. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

nate.” “And can’t get it done themselves,” Miranda added. “It helps us get closer because we’re all working together,” Haleigh said. “The main point is that we’re doing it for a good cause and we’re doing it for God,” Miranda said. Many of the youths had worked together last summer at the Salkehatchie Summer Project in Huntersville. That included Sam Sykes of Durham. “It’s good,” Sam said of project work. “It gets me out of the house and working with my hands, which I like. It’s good to see people from the summer and reconnect.” Sam and Andrew Beck, who had done weatherstripping earlier in the day, soon joined the large group at work at the Parrish house. Hope shuttled from site to site with volunteer Gayle Keiger. She slept in her office Friday night — or at least attempted to. “I kept thinking about today,” she said. “It’s just been so exciting.” There was certainly plenty of excitement to go around. Visitors to the Parrish house could hear the sounds of hammering and sawing. In the back yard, shiny aluminum sawhorses were stacked with new joists. “C’mon in. It’s a big step,” said Frank Greene, holding out a hand as he stood in the kitchen. The floor was completely gone. “We had to take it all the way down,” Frank said, as high school boys scurried around him. “This is a big job,” he admitted, but the crew hoped to have the subfloor replaced by the end of the day. He said the adults would stay late if necessary to get the job done. Meanwhile, Sharon

Couple at odds over cleaning for guests
Dear Husband:: No. I can’t back you up on this. That’s because I honestly don’t want to see how you really live. And I assure you, you definitely don’t want to see how I really live. When I’m at your house, I am escaping the reality of how I live, and so I’d appreciate it if you’d make things sparkle so that we can both forget for one brief and shining moment the less-thansparkly truth, which is that most of us live lives that are a little crusty around the
edges. One advantage of hosting guests is that it compels people to tidy up, deep clean or add flourishes — like flowers or throw pillows. The host’s house looks and smells good, and the hosts usually enjoy this until the crust takes over again. The most obvious solution is for you two to compromise on the degree of cleaning to be done, with the solution lying somewhere between sitting in your own filth and steam-cleaning the drapes. The real issue is why your wife nags you incessantly instead of trusting you to do something you’ve said you would do. A therapist once told me that nagging is the result of the nagger’s feeling that she has not been heard. Hence, the repetition. If your wife asks you to do something that you have no intention of doing, tell her so at the time. Don’t agree to a task and then delay or “forget” to do it. She should ease up — and you should step up. Dear Amy: My mother passed away this year after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She had a large, public funeral with two days of visitation and an obituary published in the newspaper. I was visiting my father
over Christmas and he showed me a card that had come in the mail from a family we’d drifted away from. They obviously didn’t realize my mom had died. How do we graciously respond to this extremely awkward faux pas? — Family Correspondent Dear Corredpondent: If you’d like to be in touch with this family, you could respond by writing back, “It was nice to hear from you this Christmas. Unfortunately, my mother passed away last year after a long and courageous battle with cancer, and I thought you should know. My father is doing well, but we all miss her very much.” Add a sentence wishing this family well, and sign off. Their ignorance about this event is painful for you, but it is not their fault. Dear Amy: “Pregnant and Frustrated” wanted to know how to respond to being berated by another parent at her child’s school. She was confronted for not signing up to volunteer in her daughter’s kindergarten class. I’m a teacher. The teacher in this classroom needs to know about this uncomfortable conversation. Parents don’t always realize that they represent the

teacher, the students and the school when they volunteer. The rude caller may not be familiar with professional phone protocol. It usually falls on the teacher’s shoulders to train classroom volunteers. I encourage all parentteacher groups to ask the teacher with the most volunteer helpers to explain how to train parent volunteers, and to educate fellow teachers on how to keep their volunteers busy. And as a thank-you, I suggest they take a couple of days of recess duty for that teacher! — It’s for the Kids

Dear Amy: It is my firm belief that my house is not a hotel. My house is my house! Whenever we have company, my wife insists that we spend a lot of time and energy cleaning the house before our guests arrive. She nags me incessantly, even when I tell her I’ll get it done. I think we should show people how we really live, rather than make everything sparkle in an obviously superficial way. I tell her ASK this, but she insists. Would AMY you care to back me up on this? — Harried Husband

Dear Kids: Classroom volunteers sometimes behave like power-mad corporate executives. I agree that a teacher should train these volunteers and remind them to use their “inside voices” when they volunteer on behalf of the school.

19 New Year’s resolutions it will pay you to keep Have you given up making New Year’s resolutions because it’s just plain dumb to make promises you’re not likely to keep? Before you throw out the baby with the bath water, why not shift your thinking to resolutions that you can keep — and save some serious cash in the process? 1) Review all of your insurance coverage. Raise MARY deductibles to the highest HUNT level feasible. Drop collision coverage on cars with a market value of less than $2,500. Carry life insurance equal to five times the insured’s annual salary. A housewife should be insured based on no less than $50,000 per year. 2) Create a list with current data regarding all loans, insurance policies, important documents, savings and investments. 3) Inventory your safe-deposit box. Do not keep the only copy of your will or family trust in a safe-deposit box. Often such a location is sealed upon a death. 4) Calculate (do not just estimate) your net worth.
5) Change batteries in smoke detectors, and make a video inventory of all personal possessions. Store this at another location. 6) Add up all the bank fees you’ve paid in the past year. Reconsider your banking relationship. Join a credit union that offers a free checking account. 7) Open a special savings account, and make monthly deposits for your non-monthly bills (property taxes, insurance, auto maintenance and registration, etc.). 8) Ask your mortgage holder about canceling your private mortgage insurance. You may not even be aware that you are paying for this as part of your monthly payments. In most cases, PMI cannot be required once the borrower has accumulated 20 percent equity. 9) Cancel extended warranties on household appliances. If this makes you too nervous or insecure, self-insure by depositing the same monthly amounts that you’ve been paying for these overpriced insurance policies into your own savings account. 10) If you’ll be getting a big tax return for 2010, file a new W-4 form with your employer to adjust the amount withheld for taxes. Why let the government use your
money all year interest-free? 11) Keep a spending record. By putting down in black and white exactly where your money goes, you’ll start changing your spending habits automatically. 12) Sign up for a payroll savings program. Often employers contribute proportionately. You hardly will miss money you don’t see. 13) Teach your kids how to save 10 percent. 14) Cut your expenses. Reducing everything a little is far less painful than trying to eliminate a category altogether. 15) Don’t invest in anything you don’t understand. If you own a mystery investment, either educate yourself or switch. 16) Write down your car’s mileage Jan. 1. 17) Work on your marriage. Divorce is very expensive. 18) If you are due an IRS refund, file as soon as possible. If you owe the IRS, hold off paying until the last minute. 19) Set up a meticulous system for keeping receipts and financial records. Could you use some guidance and help with these resolutions?

Dear Lisa: Yes. You can freeze a whole fully cooked or fresh ham. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (www.fsis.usda.gov/ factsheets/ham/index.asp), for best quality, fresh ham that has been frozen should be cooked within six months. Fully cooked ham that has been frozen should be consumed within two months. You can freeze spiral cut hams, too. It’s entirely up to you if you prefer to cut the ham into smaller portions prior to freezing it. You can place it in the freezer in its original packaging or portion it and repackage it in your own airtight freezer container or freezer storage bags.

Confessions of a Single Mother Seven things I’ve learned since becoming a mother My daughter’s second birthday is rapidly approaching and I wanted to take some time to reflect on the things that I have learned. I encourage every parent to take time out to look back at the lessons you’ve learned. I can’t wait to see what new lessons I will learn this year! 1. “No” doesn't really mean “No.” When I was pregnant, I promised myself that I would be firm and strict. Well, over the last year or so, I've realized that “No” really means.... “Not yet,” “Not now,” “Maybe,” “Possibly” and “Sure, go ahead.” If you don’t believe me, try saying “No” to your child and see their response. After a little bit of screaming and crying, your “No” turns into “Sure, go ahead” even though you know that they shouldn’t have a cookie before dinner and they should be asleep instead of watching Nick Jr.

www.salisburypost.com/blogs/singlemother/
2. Asking for help is really helpful. When I became a mother, I did not realize how many “jobs” I would take on. I immediately became a pediatrician, psychologist, nurse, teacher, secretary, culinary artist, accountant, and pharmacist just to name a few. I was very exhausted because I refused to ask for help. I wanted to believe that I could do it all on my own. I’m so thankful that my mother also took on many of those roles in order to help me finish college. 3. Pajamas have some type of magical energy. No matter how tired my daughter is, as soon as I put her pajamas on, it’s like she gets this burst of energy! She likes to dance and point out the characters on her pajamas. I end up looking at the clock and shaking my head.... Maybe I should switch and let her wear pajamas to school and regular clothes to bed... It’s just a thought.
4. The worst word you can teach a child is “MINE.” When I first taught my daughter how to say “mine” I thought that it was the cutest thing ever...NOT! Now, everything is “Mine, mine,mine.” From the remote, to my laptop, and even my car, it all belongs to her. 5. The best way to get rid of that extra weight... bring food around a toddler. My mother will tell anyone that she has lost more weight since my daughter has been walking than she has on any other diet. Even after my daughter has finished her plate and my mother and I finally sit down to start ours, we can time how long it will take her to walk over and stare at our plates. She’ll stare at us with her “puppy eyes” and then walk a little closer to my mother’s food and say, “Want more.” I guess things just taste better on Grandma’s plate. 6. Children need your presence and not
your presents. I believe that I spent more time wrapping my daughter’s gifts and putting her toys together for Christmas than she has played with them. We spend so much money on toys and clothing, yet we fail to realize that the best gift we can give our children is ourselves. My daughter’s face lights up when we get ready for our date night. She puts her toys down and runs straight to the door. So when you’re at the store picking out a toy, think about using that money to take your child to a movie or out to eat. 7. Positive people help you have a positive outcome. When you surround yourself with positive people that have your best interest in mind, it makes life so much easier. If it weren’t for my friends, family and church members’ support, I would have given up on pursuing higher education.

Small Kentucky museum collects big uniform display ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — When a small Ashland museum put out the call for donations of old military uniforms and paraphernalia, it was overwhelmed with donations. Now, the Highlands Museum and Discovery Center in Ashland has so many donations it needs to make more room, and the staff wants to be able to tell the stories behind the uniforms that were worn by local soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Staff and volunteers at the museum want to see the places where the local vets trained, where they were assigned, and where they fought for the United States. It’s all part of a project started by 19-year-old Matt Potter, who made it his personal mission to learn more about those who served in World War II after hearing a veteran speak at Russell High School in 2008. “I just wanted to hear the story ... to have that opportunity,” Potter said in The Daily Independent, explaining how his avocation has since turned into his vocation as the full-time curator of military collections and workshop coordinator for the museum. Potter, with the help of others, continues to interview local veterans who served in each of America’s military conflicts. They also continue to collect uniforms and other military items that help illustrate the roles played by individuals from the Ashland area. As part of the “Windows to the Past” exhibit, Potter says he is now seeking old photos to help those who see the exhibit, which has doubled in size and continues to grow, understand the sacrifices made to preserve this country’s freedoms. Local veterans and their families nearly overwhelmed the museum staff with contri-
butions of uniforms and artifacts following publication of a recent story about the growing military collection, Potter said, adding he still hopes to speak with people who anonymously donated uniforms that came complete with service ribbons, Bronze Stars and Purple Heart medals. “For this exhibit we want people to look at each table as a window to the past. We want photos showing things like battlefields and boot camps, and people here at home at Clayton & Lambert cranking out shells,” Potter said. Many amazing things have come into the museum’s care since that day, he said, including a few that reflect the true nature of war. Among those items are a large red flag emblazoned with the Nazi Party swastika. The still bloodstained flag was removed from beneath the bodies of three German soldiers by a local member of a tank crew who killed the men as they lowered the flag in Frankfurt. Equally evocative is an old litter, or stretcher, used to carry the dead and wounded, still stained with blood. Even though museum staff spends hours sorting through the uniforms and other items recently turned over to their care, Potter said much remains to be added before the full story can be understood. “All of this stuff right here, and what this stands for, is just the surface,” he said, citing the often forgotten roles of wives, sons and daughters who stayed at home, worked in factories or assumed jobs on barges traveling along the Ohio River. Executive Director Leigh Ann Heineman said museum staff is still collecting artifacts and uniforms, as well as images, although they encourage people to call ahead and let them know what they have.
case for reform with elites, but that she struggled to do the same in Washington’s most disadvantaged communities. “I would leave the grassroots organizing to someone else, someone who might have more credibility in the community,” Petrilli said. Rhee says her group will only go into communities where they are invited, and that they’ve already gotten a strong amount of interest, though no official collaborations have been announced. For now, her staff is slim — just six full-time workers. She’s also serving on the education transition team for Florida Governor Rick Scott. The schedule, Rhee says, has been hectic. In Washington, she was known for responding to tens of thousands of e-mails each year, and keeping long, 18hour days. Her current schedule hasn’t changed that much. “Since we announced the launch, I’ve pretty much been traveling nonstop,” she says.

considering mayoral control, as was done in D.C. Rhee says that Students First, in the long term, could bring resources to districts willing to adopt the organization’s agenda. It will also work on informing people on education policy topics that effect many families. “These policies are a major disruption to the status quo,” Rhee says. “But at the same time, we believe it’s really hard to argue against the things that we are pushing.” While many districts share similar troubles, there are distinct differences between pushing for reform in the District of Columbia and in communities in other parts of the country. Mike Petrilli, executive vice president at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education think tank, notes that with districts under even greater fiscal restraint in the year ahead, they may be reluctant to take on costly reforms. He added that Rhee’s natural strength is making the

a reform organization, is very different from leading a school district from the inside,” Cohen said. Arguably the nation’s most outspoken advocate on reform, Rhee, the daughter of immigrants from South Korea, took on one of the nation’s most troubled school districts without ever having led a school. She had worked as a teacher at a distressed Baltimore district, and created the New Teacher Project, which works to bring strong teachers to the weakest schools. She closed schools that were under-enrolled, fired teachers and principals deemed ineffective, and reached what’s been described as a landmark contract with teachers, offering steep financial rewards for those who boost students scores. “She really shook up this city,” Cohen said. “People are much more aware of the problems in education because of her.” The changes have been widely praised in education circles, but critics say she didn’t work hard enough to collaborate with teachers. “You either liked her or you hated her,” said Jackie Alvarado, co-president of the parent teacher organization at the Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, where Rhee enrolled her own daughters. “There was no middle ground.” “I definitely think we did not do as good a job communicating as we could have,” Rhee acknowledges. Rhee wants her organization to support states and school districts adopting policies that enhance the teaching profession. Rhee argues that 50 percent of a teacher’s evaluation should be based on measurable student achievement growth. She said a teacher’s contribution to the community should also be taken into account. Her group will support rewarding effective teachers with higher pay and eliminating tenure, the lifetime job protections that critics say protect mediocre and even incompetent teachers. It also supports allowing the number of good charter schools to expand, while closing those that don’t work. In the area of accountability, Rhee says the organization will push for promoting board and education structures that put students first — including

MIAMI (AP) — Looking back, Michelle Rhee says there are a few things she didn’t do successfully during her three years as chancellor of the District of Columbia public schools. One: She failed to engage and mobilize parents, residents and community leaders who supported her ambitious education reform agenda, but were never vocal about it. “The people who were vocal were the people who were opposing,” Rhee said in an interview with the Associated Press, three months after announcing her resignation. The opposition was, in fact, quite loud: Teacher unions and even groups of parents balked at her ideas to close schools, fire teachers, and get rid of tenure. District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty, who had selected Rhee for the position and supported her reforms, lost re-election. Rhee, who has been featured on the covers of magazines, on Oprah, who famously called her a ‘warrior woman,’ and in David Guggenheim’s recent documentary, “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” resigned shortly thereafter. Now Rhee is continuing her fight to improve the nation’s classrooms through a new organization, Students First. This time, she’s hoping to better tap into discontent with the state of public schools across the country. Thus far, she’s raised $1.4 million and attracted 140,000 members, she said. The goal: Raise $1 billion in a year and organize 1 million members. Today, she’ll announce the group’s agenda, focusing on three areas: the teaching profession, empowering families with information and choices; and developing more accountability. Many of the ideas are similar to those she pushed as chancellor, though the agenda also adopts practices that have been put in place elsewhere, including parent participation in restructuring schools. But will this reformer be able to drum up support nationwide? She’ll need to take a different approach, said Emily Cohen, district policy director at the National Council on Teacher Quality, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit. “Working from the outside in an advocacy organization,

Why N.C. should host Democratic Convention
Another look at cost-cutting and sacrifice L
BY JIM ROGERS For the Salisbury Post
hen I moved to Charlotte in 2006, the city and state welcomed me and my family with open arms. We found an ambitious and forward-thinking region with a history of taking advantage of opportunities and meeting challenges head on. We found a steeled determination — that comes together when the going gets tough to make great things happen. There is no better example of this than Charlotte’s and North Carolina’s efforts to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Our region and state provide the perfect platform for the convention to showcase what is possible as America ROGERS climbs out of the Great Recession and reinvents itself. Yes, like the rest of the nation, our region has suffered over the past two-and-a-half-years, but we have also come together to develop a stronger, more diverse economy. In the Charlotte region, we have announced 8,500 jobs in the last year, and we are optimistic that 2011will bring many more new and high paying jobs to our region. We have what it takes to successfully host an event of this size and complexity. We have the hotel rooms, a premier international airport, a state of the art uptown arena and an expanded convention center that can accommodate thousands of visitors. We have light rail, world-class art galleries, restaurants, museums and an exciting night life. We have family-friendly activities such as Carowinds Amusement Park, U.S. Whitewater Center, NASCAR Hall of Fame, and golf. We have a proven track record of hosting major events, such as the NRA Convention, two NCAA Final Fours, six regional NCAA tournaments, five CIAA tournaments and eight major PGA Tour events — all without a hitch. We have a central location between the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and beautiful Atlantic Ocean. North Carolina is also home to one of the largest and best community college and university systems in the nation, as well as excellent private colleges and universities that are providing the training needed to compete globally to climb out of this recession. In the Charlotte region, we have 34 colleges and universities, educating 175,000 students and offering degrees in 150 subjects and 60 graduate programs. We have also grown by about 30 percent since 2000, and despite economic hard times, our growth continues. It’s estimated that for a $40 million to $45 million investment — mostly through private donations nationwide — we could see a $150 million to $200 million economic impact to our region. Hosting the convention will show a national and international audience that Charlotte and North Carolina are leading the way in the innovation, optimism and hard work needed to turn our nation’s economy around. Support from across the region and state to attract the 2012 Democratic National Convention has been strong and bi-partisan. Prominent Republicans such as former Gov. Jim Martin and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot joined leaders from both political parties to support this unprecedented economic development opportunity because they are eager to showcase our city and state to the rest of the nation and the world. Democratic National Committee leaders can be assured that if they select Charlotte and North Carolina to host their convention, they will find what I found when I came to the state. They will receive a warm welcome that reflects the best America has to offer, and one with determination to deal with challenges head on and get beyond this recession to make a better future for our children and grandchildren. • • • Jim Rogers is chairman, president and CEO of Duke Energy and serves as co-chair of the Charlotte in 2012 effort.

More must be done to stop drug abuse among youth I may only be 14, but I have seen a lot for my age. I’ve met drug dealers, I’ve watched people get high and I’ve seen plenty of kids’ lives go down the drain because of drugs. When I was in the fifth grade in Statesville, there was a drug program for our schools: DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education). The DARE program has implemented a new, successful middle school curriculum called “Keepin’ it real.” I know that ever since I took DARE, I was afraid to even go into the medicine cabinet; I learned that drugs are a very serious thing, what really goes on inside your body when you use drugs, and so many other risks that many teens are just so unaware of. Back in 2008, Dr. Judy Grissom's column showed the problems we are facing in schools as a result of teens abusing prescription medication and other illegal drugs. More recently, in December reporter Shavonne Potts wrote a column about teens finding escape through the medicine cabinet. This only tells a portion of all the kids using drugs just here in Rowan County. The drug use in middle schools alone is ridiculous. When I was going into middle school, I never thought I would have to deal with anything like this. Teens my age, or even younger “snorting” pills on the bus, smoking weed on and off school campus and smoking cigarettes as well. No one understands what they are just tossing away by doing drugs. This is such a problem but it seems that no one is helping these kids. There is no drug program. So why not DARE? It is a very good education program, and it tells you the very honest straight-up truth that not only affected my choices, but could help affect others. — Gracie Rohl Salisbury
Kudos for Fibrant experience I want to praise Fibrant for my initial experience with them. I was nervous about having this put in, as they have to dig a trench from the street to the exterior box mounted on your house to lay the fiber line. I had visions of a torn up front yard. But I crossed my fingers and ordered service. The underground crew did a fantastic job. I didn’t even know they had come and gone while I was at work. It wasn’t until I saw the new Fibrant box mounted on the side of the house the next day that I realized they had been there. The yard looked great, there was no indication they had dug a trench and laid down new line unless you made a point to stand over it and look down to try and find it.

My interior installation went just as well. As requested, the installer called before coming, did a fantastic job running the new fiber lines, setting everything up, demonstrated what I needed, demonstrated and answered all my questions. Now, I know some will criticize my letter as some do have a political agenda against Fibrant. I’ve seen the online commentary. Mentioning Fibrant is like waving a red flag at a bull. But the reality is, the initial service was great and having Fibrant for Internet and TV (the picture is better than DTV) is saving me approximately $50 per month and I have a higher level of service, such as a DVR. If they maintain this level of service, the competitors will definitely have something to worry about as word gets around that Fibrant is not the bogyman some have made it out to be . — Michael G.

Read the entire Constitution It was a good thing for the House of Representatives to read the Constitution aloud. Unfortunately they read an amended version which left some things out, like the part about slaves counting as three-fifths of a person.

Thank goodness liberals stood against these terrible policies. — Chuck Mann Greensboro

aurels and darts for Ty Cobb Jr., in response to his recent “My Turn” column: Laurels for Mr. Cobb’s call for sacrifice, NOW! This is one of the few times when an acknowledged conservative has spelled out specifically what he wants to cut. I like his suggestion for a 10 percent pay cut for the president and Congress, but why not include the entire executive and legislative branches? I’d make an exception for the lowest paid, secretaries, typists, etc. but you get the idea. And how about cutting congressional staff by 10 or 15 percent? They could just work harder, like a lot of people do now. More laurels for taking on the Social Security system and federal pension benefits. Holding level with the current fiscal year 2011 would save around $40 billion. I’m not sure I like another freeze, but why not shift increases to an index which better relates to the cost of living for seniors? Certainly, those Social Security recipients with high incomes from other sources could well afford to join in the sacrifice with an income based cap on payments. A dart for freezing all federal workers at current levels. Most of these people have litJohn P. Burke is tle or nothing to say a retired certified about federal spendpublic accountant ing. Instead, how who lives in Salisabout a cap on the upbury. per, decision making levels, say GS-15 and above? Would this freeze affect military pay? I would hope not; they don’t get paid enough now for the sacrifices they make for the rest of us. Laurels for delaying “earmarks.” Check last Wednesday’s USA Today for the cover story on “Orphan earmarks,” the $7.5 billion in earmarks that can’t be used and are frozen in place. Now, some earmarks are good ideas, think Yadkin River Bridge, but why not put them all in one or more separate bills where they won’t be hidden? At the same time, the “orphans” could be written off or fixed and used, as needed. Dart on only cutting farm subsidies by 10 percent. The total Budget for Farm Stabilization in Fiscal Year 2012 is $11 billion (we’re in FY 2011, which ends Sept. 30). Why not cut it all out, or at least put a cap based on total farm income, say $100,000 per recipient/farm? Laurel for cutting non-defense discretionary spending by 10 percent. Unfortunately for the proposed 2012 federal budget, that will only amount to around $49 billion. Not much of a hit on a deficit of $828 trillion in FY 2012. Even dropping all foreign aid would only save around $40 billion. Dart for leaving some big holes that need to be filled. Trying to make sense of the federal budget is no walk in the park, but as nearly as I can figure, Mr. Cobb’s (and my) proposed cuts would only amount to less than $200 billion. Even with the elimination of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, we can’t get back to a balanced budget during the next 10 years with just these changes. To erase the deficit we need several hundred billion a year more. The only remaining place we can get that and attack the national debt is from increased revenues. Sorry, but that’s just arithmetic. Others have reached the same unhappy conclusion. The Brookings Institution’s Bill Galston published a paper last year, “The Future Is Now,” detailing potential reductions and eliminations in programs, changes in the tax code reducing deductions and other items which could potentially produce $1.1 trillion in savings by 2020. That’s about the same as the projected deficit in 2020. Their proposals would break even at best, but they do provide food for thought. The Fiscal Commission Plan appears to have some tax increases, but barely breaks even on the deficit and leaves the national debt at 40 percent of GNP. Not good enough. Big Laurel and Dart, for all of us. Mr. Cobb called for leadership and sacrifice, and we’re going to need lots of both to deal with the giant elephant in the room, the size of our debt and continuing deficits. That translates to some increases on the revenue side, that is, increased taxes. Sorry, but that’s the big dart and we’re going to have to face it. Better now than later, because this elephant is simply going to get bigger as long as we continue to ignore it.

Members of Congress review security measures Gabrielle Giffords in a Tucson, Ariz., shooting spree follows a dramatic increase in threats against members of Congress over the past year. In the first three months of 2010 alone, officials reported 42 threats to federal lawmakers, nearly three times the cases reported during the same three months a year earlier. In March, someone either kicked in or shot out a window in Giffords’ Tucson office just hours after the Arizona Democrat voted for an expansion in government-directed health care. A day later, Giffords also
was among 20 House Democratic supporters of the health care bill who were the subject of a posting on former Alaska Gov.

Show of unity Such unifying pauses are usual after national tragedies. The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack was a coalescing moment in the nation that for a time improved the tone of Capitol Hill debate. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania and an expert on political rhetoric, said there were similar breaks after the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. “There was a lot of discussion about the meaning of the moment and what rhetoric had done to incite it,” she said. What’s more, the attack on Giffords has given members of Congress a sense of unusual common purpose. Leaders from both parties worked together Sunday to offer members assurances that they were reviewing security measures. Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said his colleagues hope for “greater comity within the House and the discourse that takes place all across this country.” Still, politics is a quarrelsome business and those breaks are short-lived. In the 1990s politicians lamented “the politics of personal destruction.” President George W. Bush was the subject of vicious criticism from the left, and President Obama has come under stinging, personal attack from some of his critics. Congress has also become more partisan, with a dwindling number of moderate lawmakers. Veteran members of Congress have lamented a changed culture where legislators spend little time socializing with each other, a development that contributes to fewer crossparty relationships. While Sunday’s calls for unity and civility were bipartisan, the discussion had a partisan subtext as Democrats pointed to anti-government language from the tea party movement and to rabble-rousing imagery and rhetoric from conservative figures such as Sarah Palin.

ocratic leader in the Senate, on Sunday mentioned Palin’s combative rallying cry, “Don’t retreat; reload,” and the crosshairs she used to signal congressional districts where she wanted Republicans to win. “These sorts of things, I think, invite the kind of toxic rhetoric that can lead unstable people to believe this is an acceptable response,” Durbin said Sunday on CNN. Republicans were especially sensitive to suggestions that their side of the political spectrum was contributing to a more poisonous political environment. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., noted Sunday that the suspect in the Tucson rampage was connected to Internet postings that included Marxist and Nazi literature. “That’s not the profile of a typical tea party member, if that’s the inference that’s being made,” he said on CNN.

History of tough talk To be sure, combative language in politics is not the province of a single party. It was Obama who declared during the 2008 presidential campaign, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” And Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, ran ads during last year’s campaign that portrayed him with a high-powered rifle, placing a cap-and-trade energy bill in the crosshairs and blasting it to pieces. The Tucson shooting could also result in hypersensitivity, where lawmakers take any partisan comment as an invitation to incite a fight. “The danger in this is that people misread it and so the first time that someone makes a statement that is partisan, it’s condemned as inappropriate,” Jamieson said. Experts say angry political language is made all the more prevalent by the Internet and opinion-driven cable television, amplifying the sense of confrontation. Jamieson says she doesn’t believe current Congresses have been more uncivil than past one. “But the media culture has given us access to incivility that probably was there all along but didn’t have that much accessibility,” Jamieson said. “The consequence of broader exposure is that it becomes normalized.”
Smith had a captive audience, one that applauded as King’s last words were still hanging in the air. King himself had referred to that day in Washington as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of the nation. Smith said great strides in civil rights have been made since 1963, but not all of King’s dreams have been fulfilled. He urged everyone in the room to work together, struggle together and pray together — “so we can live together.” Smith’s reading of the “I Have a Dream” speech was supposed to be part of a candlelight march between the VA Chapel and Building 6, a way to kick off a week full of activities leading up to the King holiday next Monday. But not enough people showed up to carry the battery-powered candles, so Bamberg-Revis, Lester Smith and retiree Cal Smith (a Vietnam veteran and outpatient at the medical center) decided to march themselves to Building 6 and share the speech with the VFW group. Here are some of the other activities planned this week at the VA: • Monday — Rowan–Salisbury School System students will read their award-winning essays in Chapel Building 19
at 6 p.m. Topics are: Elementary school, “How do You Choose Your Friends?”; middle school, “What Does the Dream Mean to You?”; and high school, “Living the Dream in a Multi-Cultural Society.” • Tuesday — Poetry Slam at 5:30 p.m. Poets from the community and employees will use the open-microphone forum to present their poetry selections. Readings may be original poetry or from selected poets. • Thursday — Employees and community residents debate at 6 p.m. in the chapel. The topic is, “Progress Report on the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.” Discussion will include: “Have we completed the elements of the dream?” and will highlight the successes and barriers to fulfilling the dream. • Friday — The public is invited to attend a special program, “The Unfinished Dream” at 1:30 p.m. in the social room of Building 6. Keynote speaker is Dr. Reginal Broadnax of Hood Theological Seminary.

House Speaker John Boehner told lawmakers in a conference call Sunday to “pull together as an institution.” “What is critical is that we stand together at this dark time as one body,” he said. “We need to rally around our wounded colleague, the families of the fallen, and the people of Arizona’s 8th District.

DRUGLESS & “NO INCISION� HIGH-TECH HERNIATED DISC/SEVERE BACK PAIN SYSTEM RECOMMENDED BY KANNAPOLIS AREA DOCTOR
The Great Severe Back & Disc Pain Hoax The True Story of How Some Common Treatments Are Failing Local Area Sufferers Kannapolis Area Doctor Reveals A Truly Painless Approach To Severe Back & Disc Pain. With The Coming of the New Year, He Offers Free Comprehensive Analysis for Kannapolis & surrounding area residents who qualify‌ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Complete Relief: No drugs, No Surgery. Only painless, gentle, non-invasive, non-controversial high tech protocols: to get you outdoors, out on your skis, swinging your golf clubs, playing with your kids‌ and never feeling the frustration of missing out on the joys of life again. Kannapolis, North Carolina – If you’ve ever tried a treatment for your severe back pain in spite of knowing in your gut or back of your mind that it was NOT going to work‌ this article is just for YOU. You’re part of a growing group of Kannapolis and surrounding area severe back pain sufferers who continue to give their all in trying to find a solution to their severe and debilitating back and disc pain‌ sometimes even going against their better judgment‌ all for the promise of being able to get back to a “normal and active life.â€? THIS is what an area doctor is referring to as “the great back & disc pain hoaxâ€?, the promises of relief that either defy science, common sense or both. The saddest part of this hoax is that in virtually every case the promises made by doctors and therapists are not made with malice or bad intentions. Quite the contrary, they’re made with a deep desire to help. And unfortunately that desire sometimes results in excessive enthusiasm which leads to promises that can’t be fulfilled. The widely known doctor at Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center has seen this phenomenon play out day after day as frustrated severe back and disc pain sufferers seek his counsel in hopes of ENDING their debilitating pain but also ending their seemingly never ending parade of failed and expensive treatments. And in response to this critical crisis for severe back and disc pain sufferers, this exceptional doctor is giving away his expertise for free to all Kannapolis and surrounding area residents for at least the next 72 hours. The only action readers have to take is calling the Kannapolis Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline before all of the appointment times are taken. Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC has taken this radical step in offering his expertise in the form of a no cost no obligation consultation in response to the growing frustrations of Kannapolis and surrounding area severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers. Frustration spawned from doctors that treat them without the respect and compassion they deserve and frustration resulting from the fear that there just might be “no hopeâ€? for a full recovery. Just in time for the New Year when instead of experiencing the fun and celebration of the New Year, here’s an opportunity to see if most of the Kannapolis area’s severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers can truly enjoy life again.

And quite possibly, best of all is the fact that his treatment protocols are HIGH TECH and completely PAINLESS! The unique treatment protocols have met with rave reviews, so many rave reviews that it’s almost hard to believe. Well the good news is that this hard working, humble, soft-spoken, incredibly attentive, sensitive and compassionate doctor has created an interesting bind that has forced him to limit the number of free consultations he’s able to offer. “I realize how many people are out there that are needlessly suffering and yet I also realize that what sets me apart is the fact that I’m willing to take the time each and every patient needs in order to not only help them get better but also to help them feel heard. I knew those with chronic pain needed my brand of caring‌ I just underestimated how much and because of the overwhelming response I’ve been forced to limit the number of consultations I can do. Just so I can continue to offer the personal and direct support each of my patients deserves.â€? This is what Dr. Matthews confirmed when asked about limiting free consultations to area severe pain sufferers. Dr. Matthews also confirmed that if you call the Kannapolis Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline within 72 hours of the publication of this article he would guarantee readers that they’d receive an appointment with him at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center.

Even people who were at the end of their rope‌ people who thought they’d never get better‌ even some who could’ve thought were ‘hopeless cases’‌ have benefited “I could tell a difference with my first treatment‌It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!â€? “I had a fall and injured my back two years ago. I have had three epidurals in my back plus back surgery a year ago, without success or relief from pain in my back and leg. I returned to the surgeon only to receive more steroid shots to my leg & knee with no relief from pain, and I could hardly walk. I could tell a difference with my first treatment with spinal decompression. I have been able to get back to cleaning my house, shopping, walking and enjoying life again. I no longer have the pain in my leg & back. It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!â€? ~ Marlene T.
“I got immediate relief from the first treatment‌ I can continue my bowling and golf.â€? “I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and two bulging discs.

I came and spoke with Dr. Matthews and he gave me hope without surgery. I got immediate relief from the first treatment. With Dr. Matthews and his staff’s care and understanding of my pain they gave me such hope. It is a blessing that I can continue my bowling & golf that I enjoy doing.â€? ~ Darlene P

Smith added 18 hard-
fought points on 5-of-18 shooting for Duke (15-0, 2-0 ACC). The Blue Devils overcame 17 turnovers and shot 40 percent to extend their best start since 2005-06. “They did everything possible to take Nolan out of the game,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Jordan Williams had 23 points and 13 rebounds for his ninth straight double-double, and Cliff Tucker added 14 points for the Terrapins (105, 0-2), the last team to beat Duke. They were denied their 11th win against a No. 1 team
in school history and first since 2008. “We played well tonight, but we just didn’t play well enough,” Williams said. “We’ve got to be almost perfect to beat a team like that.” Maryland closed to 67-62 on Williams’ layup with 1:25 left before Singler hit the shot of the night.

PHILADELPHIA — You can put Aaron Rodgers in that elite Packers 21 quarterback class. He’s 16 got his first playoff vicEagles tory. Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, seldom-used rookie James Starks ran for 123 yards and the Green Bay Packers beat Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles 21-16 in an NFC wild-card game Sunday. Rodgers had to watch from the sideline while Vick nearly led the Eagles back. But Tramon Williams intercepted Vick’s pass for Riley Cooper in the end zone with 33 seconds left to seal the win. The sixth-seeded Packers (11-6) are heading to Atlanta (13-3) for a divisional playoff game next Saturday night. Rodgers patiently waited three years to become Green Bay’s starter and took over after Brett Favre’s messy departure before the 2008 season. He long ago made Packers fans forget about Favre, and now has punctuated his impressive resume with his first playoff win in two tries. It wasn’t Rodgers’ fault Green Bay lost 51-45 in overtime to Arizona last January. These aren’t the same Packers. This patch-

Ravens swamp Chiefs BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press
BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com “You are the most important person on the baseball field,” former Catawba All-American catcher Ryan Query barks with the authority of a drill sergeant. “You are the only one who can see everything. You touch the ball every play. You are the quarterback.” Six wide-eyed, mitt-carrying youngsters who have identified themselves as aspiring catchers stare at each other with a new sense of pride and get down to serious stuff — learning the fine art of receiving and framing pitches from a pro. Baseball is work, but it’s also fun. Baseball, when you can see yourself getting better under the guidance of athletes good enough to get paid to play, is even more fun. Query, who caught for Atlanta Braves farm clubs last summer, is doing his coaching on a cold, blustery, miserable

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ray Lewis knows a championship Ravens 30 defense when he sees Chiefs 7 one. Now the Kansas City Chiefs do, too. Lewis and Baltimore’s tough and savvy defense overwhelmed the young Chiefs on Sunday, sacking Matt Cassel three times and forcing five turnovers in a 30-7 victory in the opening round of the playoffs. The Chiefs (10-7), who won the AFC West with a six-game improvement and took pride in not beating themselves, managed just 25 yards in the second half. “To set records is one thing,” said Lewis, who forced a fumble and had a sack in the second-half dismantling of the Chiefs. “To come out and play the way we’ve played in the third quarter all year and the last two weeks, just giving up seven points to opponents, that’s championship-caliber football.” Baltimore (13-4) broke open a close game with a touchdown and two field goals off turnovers in the second half. Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes, Billy Cundiff kicked three field goals and Willis Mc-

Wright starred at South BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
Frank Reid Wright, a playful bear of a man known as “Fuzzy” to his exteammates, died on Thursday. Wright, 64, received his nickname from a South Rowan assistant coach named Tony DiPaolo, and it stuck like glue for decades. Wright stood 5foot-10 and weighed a little over 200 pounds in his heyday, and he was an exceptional athlete WRIGHT in the 1960s. He was a hard-nosed catcher for South’s baseball team and a two-way standout for the football team. Steve Beaver, a South quarterback who took snaps from Wright, also remembers Wright as one of South’s first wrestlers when the school was just getting that sport started. “Frank went to junior high in Landis and I went to China Grove, but from the first day I met him at South when we were sophomores I knew he was going to be a friend,” Beaver said. “He was so personable.” In 1963, Wright’s senior football season under coach Lope Linder, he joined Beaver and teammates Steve Wise and Gary Eury on the Post’s 11man all-county team. Wright’s last game was painful, a 7-6 loss to Statesville, but South shut out five straight teams to open that season. Wright was the starting center and a hard-hitting linebacker. He also handled kicking duties after the regular placekicker was injured. In the summer of 1964, Wright was the first South player to participate in the East-West All-Star Game and helped the West win 12-9 in Greensboro in front of 10,500 fans. “He was the first one I can remember from South going on to play college ball,” Beaver said. Wright first attended Lees-McRae
Junior College and was a terror as an inside linebacker working in a 3-4 defense. He was co-captain and team MVP as a sophomore. He broke a school record with 187 tackles and was named to the all-region team. While at Lees-McRae, Wright shattered his helmet in a collision with Chowan back Joe Manring. Wright missed one play while he searched for new headgear, then raced back on the field. Manring definitely got the worst of it, but it was a jarring crash Wright felt the rest of his life. Carson-Newman’s coach was in the stands for a Lees-McRae game in which Wright wrecked Furman’s jayvees and offered him a scholarship. Wright accepted. Beaver was a student at nationally ranked Lenoir-Rhyne, and he remembers when Carson-Newman and Wright beat the Bears in 1966. “I made sure I talked to Frank before and after that game,” Beaver said. “I had to pull for Lenoir-Rhyne, but Frank had just an unbelievable game that day. He blocked a punt. He intercepted a pass. It seemed like he made every tackle.” Wright did some coaching after college at A.L. Brown and Concord, but he eventually moved on to business where the money was better. He had two sons, David and Jason. David had a tremendous baseball career at Carson-Newman and is now West Rowan’s baseball coach. Wearing his blue West cap, Frank Wright was a familiar sight at all of West baseball contests, as well as at the Falcons’ home football games. His death was sudden and saddened his old teammates. “Frank and I always kept up with each other, and in all our class reunion pictures, we’re standing right there next to each other,” Beaver said. “Every time that we saw each other it was like we were both teenagers again. It was like Frank never grew up, and I mean that in the very best way possible. He was always a kid at heart.”

Oregon coach chip Kelly has had two weeks of press conferences and practices in anticipation of tonight’s Bcs championship game against Auburn.
Kelly tired of talking: ‘Let’s go play’ Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Steve Spurrier, the ball coach who knows a little about offense, said the game could wind up 60-55. Kirk Herbstreit, the TV analyst who knows a little about these teams, said defenses must bristle when they keep hearing about scores in the 55-53 range. The bookmakers in Las Vegas, who don’t throw out their numbers just for fun, envision something more like 38-35. There’s a reason Auburn and Oregon are playing in the BCS national title game Monday, a reason the matchup has turned into a red-hot ticket. These are two newcomers to the championship scene, both with of-
fenses that, almost literally, never take a break. Auburn has Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy winner who led the Southeastern Conference in rushing, passer efficiency and scoring. Oregon has LaMichael James, the key to an offense that likes to snap the ball 9 to 11 seconds after the end of the previous play, and one that scores a nation-high 49.1 points a game. “We’re anticipating it being very quick, obviously, from the things that we’ve heard,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. “But we’re prepared for that.” Chizik and Oregon’s Chip Kelly are, quite possibly, the most obscure coaching duo to pace the sideline in a championship game since the BCS
began in 1999. Both are in their second seasons as head coach at their schools. Chizik is a former defensive coordinator at Auburn and Texas who came back to the Plains despite a 5-19 record at his first head-coaching job at Iowa State. Kelly was hand-picked by his predecessor, Mike Bellotti. After his first game as Oregon’s head coach, a 19-8 loss to Boise State to start 2009, Kelly famously cut a check to reimburse a season-ticket holder who wrote him to complain about the performance. Chizik and Kelly are both success stories in their own right but have spent the week puncturing the longheld theory that the most intriguing characters in college sports often are
the coaches. Neither has said much memorable in the weeklong build up to the game. After posing stiffly for the cameras in front of the crystal championship ball Sunday, the coaches headed into their final pregame news conferences. Asked for his opening statement, Kelly responded: “Game is tomorrow night. Let’s go play. Questions?” So much for insight. Auburn has been pummeled all season with questions about Newton’s status, the result of a meandering investigation into allegations that his father was involved in a failed payfor-play scheme during Newton’s recruitment to Mississippi State. The NCAA cleared Newton to play shortly before the SEC title
game, and with the Tigers confident — at least for now — they won’t have to give back the crystal ball if they win it, the most notable thing to pass for controversy this week has been the debate over whether Auburn defensive lineman Nick Fairley is a cheap-shot artist. Fairley, the Lombardi Award winner as the nation’s best lineman, has brandished a reputation for playing very hard through the whistle, and sometimes beyond. How Oregon’s quick — but not huge — offensive line handles Fairley could dictate how well Oregon’s fast-paced offense runs. “He’s got speed, strength, technique,” Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said.

DUKE FROM 1B for reigning national champion Duke, which extended its winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 29, has defeated 51 consecutive unranked opponents on its home floor and has won four in a row over Maryland at home. The overall winning streak is the second-longest in school history. Smith, the ACC’s leading scorer, had his streak of 20point games snapped at five. He was coming off a careerbest 33-point performance four nights earlier against UAB, but nothing came easy this time against a Maryland defense determined to slow him down. “Going into every game, nobody has said, ‘Let’s not guard Nolan Smith,’ so I know that teams are going to try to defend me, try and go at me even harder, going forward,” AssOciAted PRess Smith said. “Kyle and I take duke’s tyler thornton falls back as he tries to draw a charge the majority of our team’s on Maryland’s Jordan Williams, left. shots, so just getting sharper,
knowing that it’s going to be like that, and just play my game — just take strong shots, and stay in that aggressive mindset.” That seemed to open things up for Singler, who was 10 of 19 from the field and finished with three 3s. After the Terps closed to 55-54 with 61/2 minutes left, Singler hit from long range to start an 8-2 spurt. He closed it with a layup that made it 63-56 with 4:20 left, and Maryland couldn’t make it a one-possession game the rest of the way. “We did a pretty good job at times and probably a good job on Smith, if he goes 5 for 18,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “If you take away one, you still have Singler.” The Blue Devils trailed 3832 a minute into the second half — their largest deficit of the season — before they used a Curry-led 14-2 run to take a six-point lead. Curry scored nine points during the burst, capping it with a 3 from the corner that made it 46-40 with about 13 minutes left. But the
Terps kept themselves within striking distance the rest of the way; neither team led by more than eight. “They didn’t make a huge run and take us out of the game,” Williams said. “We were in the game the whole game tonight. It’s just a matter of getting over the hump.” The Terrapins, who upset Duke 79-72 last March in College Park, had the star of that game — Greivis Vasquez — sitting in the stands behind their bench for this one. For much of the night, he had to like what he saw. Maryland kept things tight early, forcing 10 first-half turnovers — or, more than the Blue Devils committed in five games — while holding them to an uncharacteristic 1-for10 shooting from 3-point range. Singler’s tip-in just before the buzzer put Duke up 32-31, its slimmest halftime lead of the season at Cameron. It didn’t last long. The Terrapins reeled off seven quick points in the opening minute of the second half and went up by six on Sean Mosley’s tip-in.
Nevada beats Eagles Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Rishard Nevada 20 Marshall BC 13 caught a touchdown pass and returned a punt for another score, and No. 13 Nevada used a strong defensive effort to cap its most successful season ever at college football’s highest level by beating Boston College 20-13 in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday night. Colin Kaepernick threw for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Wolf Pack (13-1), who snapped a fourgame bowl losing streak by tying a school record for wins in a season set when it played in what used to be Division I-AA. This game matched BC’s top-ranked rushing defense against Nevada’s high-powered pistol attack that was third in the nation in rushing. The Eagles (76) did a good job controlling the Wolf Pack on the ground, holding them to a season-low 114 yards — more than 190 below their season average. Kaepernick was held to 22 yards on nine carries, but managed to top 3,000 yards passing for the season. That allowed him to join Brad Smith and Vince Young as the only FBS quarterbacks to rush for at least 1,000 yards and throw for 3,000 in the same season. With an efficient passing day by Kaepernick, the big plays from Marshall and a stout defense, the Wolf Pack were able to snap Boston College’s fivegame winning streak. The Eagles were held to 185 yards. Freshman Chase Rettig completed 14 of 34 passes for 121 yards and two interceptions. Boston College played without leading rusher Montel Harris, who was listed as the starter but did not play after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in late November.

Byrd wins opener
JoePa looks to 2011 Associated Press
Associated Press
KAPALUA, Hawaii — Jonathan Byrd won another playoff in fading sunlight, minus the heroics. Byrd opened the PGA Tour season Sunday by closing with a 6-under 67 and winning a sudden-death playoff in the Tournament of Champions when Robert Garrigus missed a 3-foot par putt on the second extra hole. Byrd qualified for Kapalua by making a hole-in-one in near darkness to win a threeman playoff in Las Vegas, as dramatic a finish as there was on tour last year. He won this playoff under far more different circumstances. He nearly holed a 50-foot birdie putt on the opening hole on the Plantation Course, leaving him a tap-in par. Byrd stood off to the side of the green, waiting to go to the next hole, when Garrigus three-putted by missing a 3foot par putt. It gave Byrd his fifth career victory, and this came
with a few perks. Byrd earned an automatic invitation to the Masters, and with his second win in the last two months, is exempt for the U.S. Open. Graeme McDowell nearly joined them in the playoff. The U.S. Open champion, coming off a dream season, matched the Plantation Course record with an 11-under 62 and finished one shot behind. McDowell had a 10foot birdie putt on the last hole that just missed. Byrd and Garrigus, who missed a 12-foot eagle putt on the 18th in regulation, finished at 24-under 268. Both had their chances. Garrigus was always behind after a bogey on the opening hole, was never out of the hunt. He always had the 688-yard, downhill 18th waiting for him, and he again took advantage. Garrigus ripped a 5-wood that caught the grain and the slope perfectly, some 12 feet short of the hole. His eagle putt didn’t have enough speed, however, and caught the lower side of the cup.

Jonathan Byrd displays winning form in Hawaii. Byrd, playing in the final group, couldn’t reach the green because of the Kona wind into his face. His wedge came up well short, and his 18foot birdie putt for the win didn’t have a chance. Despite the length advantage for Garrigus, Byrd had the best chance to win the first playoff hole on the 18th. His pitch stopped 10 feet short of the hole, but his second chance at birdie for the win slid by the cup.

Elway insists he’s not looking to trade quarterback Tebow Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway is barely into his first weekend as the Denver Broncos’ new chief of football operations and already he’s in damage-control mode. Elway took to his Twitter account Saturday to deny speculation he would trade quarterback Tim Tebow. The fuss started when Peter King strongly implied on NBC that Elway might trade Tebow to the team that hires former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels. Elway has said on several occasions since being hired as the Broncos’ new vice president of football operations that Tebow is a good football player, but he has to become a good quarterback. He’s also said Tebow’s famous work ethic will help him make the transition and that the next Broncos coach should be as big a believer in Tebow’s promise as he is. In response to King’s report, Elway tweeted: “To clarify my thoughts on Tim Tebow... I think he’s a very good football player, and if anyone can turn themselves into a great QB, Tim can.” “Myself and our entire organization think very highly of him. We are pleased with his first year as a Bronco,” Elway added in a second tweet. His third was his strongest yet: “Any speculation that the Denver Broncos are considering moving Tim is completely false.” Tebow, selected by McDaniels with the 25th pick in the NFL draft last April, played
Garrigus had a 73-yard advantage off the tee on the second extra hole, but his approach was 40 feet short, and his birdie putt to win was hit too hard, leaving him a nervy 3-footer that he missed. “That putt was a microcosm of how I feel right now. This hole kind of got me this week,” said Garrigus, who bogeyed No. 1 in regulation and was 4-over par the five times he played it. “Hopefully, I might it back here next year.”
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno has met with Penn State President Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley for their annual end-of-season review. Bill Mahon, a spokesman for Spanier, said Saturday night the trio had an “excellent discussion” Friday about the status of the football program, and that the 84-year-old Paterno did indeed plan to coach next season. Coaching plans beyond 2011 would be discussed at next year’s review, Mahon said. JoePa is entering the final year of a three-year extension agreed to in 2008. Both sides have previously said he doesn’t need a contract to keep a job he’s held for more than four decades. Paterno said in November he hadn’t given thought to not returning, though it wasn’t entirely his call, referring to his bosses at the university.
Still, Paterno, his assistants and players spent much of the week before the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 denying a spate of Internetfueled rumors that he was retiring. The Nittany Lions lost 37-24 to Florida to drop to 7-6, the team’s worst record since going 4-7 in 2004. “Well, we should be further along, anyway,” Paterno said in Tampa on Jan. 2 about next season. “The practice sessions were good experiences that I think will help us for next year. How much? It depends on whether the leadership comes in the winter program and spring practice. I won’t know until then whether we’ve made some progress.” Paterno is major college football’s victory leader with 401, seven behind Grambling’s Eddie Robinson for second among coaches in all divisions. John Gagliardi, still active at Division III St. John’s, Minn., leads with 478.
only sparingly in goal-line or shortyardage situations prior to McDaniels’ firing Dec. 6. AssOciAted PRess Interim head JOHN ELWAY coach Eric Studesville installed Tebow as his starter after Kyle Orton sustained bruised ribs and endured two poor performances in a row. Tebow went 1-2, rallying Denver from a 17-point halftime deficit to a 24-23 win over Houston and nearly pulling off a fourth-quarter comeback against San Diego a week later in the season finale. Elway said he was impressed with Tebow’s play, especially considering he had such a paltry number of practice snaps during the season and threw just one pass until he supplanted Orton. Tebow is the first NFL rookie quarterback since Minnesota’s Fran Tarkenton in 1961 to post four games with both a TD run and a TD pass. “Tim Tebow is a darn good football player,” Elway said at his introductory news conference Wednesday. “What we have to make him is a darn good quarterback and that is what we have to figure out. “If there is anybody that is going to give himself a chance to be a darn quarterback or a great quarterback it is going to be Tim Tebow because that is how devoted he is to it and how important it is for him to be a great football player,” Elway added.
work squad has 10 different starters, and a much stronger defense. “I never felt like there was a monkey on my back,” Rodgers said. “I’m just so proud of these guys. We fought hard today. Big interception by Tramon who’s had a great season for us.” Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and Co. contained Vick for the most part. Vick threw for 292 yards and ran for 33 in his first playoff start since losing the 2005 NFC championship game on the same field as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. Vick has come a long way since then. He missed two seasons while serving 18 months in prison for his role in a dogfighting operation, played sparingly in a backup role last year and only got his chance after Matthews knocked Kevin Kolb out in Green Bay’s 27-20 win in Philadelphia in Week 1. Vick made the most of the opportunity. He had the best season of his career and was selected to start the Pro Bowl for the NFC. Vick can go to Hawaii now because the Eagles (10-7) are going home. This was Green Bay’s third straight win in an elimination game. The Packers routed the Giants on Dec. 26 to stay alive in the playoff race, and beat Chicago last week to secure a playoff berth. The Eagles were the talk of the NFL after a sensational comeback win at the New York Giants on Dec. 19. But a stunning loss to lowly Minnesota on Dec. 28 cost the NFC East champions a chance at a first-round bye, and it seemed their Super Bowl hopes went down with that de-

Then again, the Eagles might have advanced if Pro Bowl kicker David Akers hadn’t missed field goals of 41 and 34 yards. The supposedly one-dimensional Packers found a running game by giving the ball to Starks. The sixth-round pick who played in just three games had 101 yards rushing all year. The Packers had trouble running all year after Ryan Grant went down for the season in Week 1. But they exposed weaknesses in Philadelphia’s defense. The Eagles got within 2116 when Vick sneaked in from the 1 with 4:02 left. The 2-point conversion failed, but the defense held and Philadelphia got the ball back at the Packers 34 with 1:45 left.
RAVENS FROM 1B Gahee closed out the scoring with a 25-yard run in the fourth quarter. The Ravens will head to Pittsburgh next Saturday, renewing one of the league’s fiercest rivalries. They split their season series with the Steelers, with each team winning on the other’s home field. Kansas City finishes the season saddled with an NFLrecord seventh straight playoff loss, dating back 17 years. “Our defense played phenomenal,” Ravens running back Ray Rice said. “They came out in the second half and gutted that offense. It was impressive. It’s impressive to be a part of this.” On a raw, windy afternoon, with temperatures hovering in the low 20s, Flacco and Cundiff took advantage of three interceptions by Cassel and fumbles by Dexter McCluster and Jamal Charles to pull away. Pro Bowlers Lewis safety Ed Reed led the charge. “You just come in and make up your mind when things start going your way they start going your way,” Lewis said. “We knew that this was a very tough place to come play. They have a very

We are built for 60 minutes.” In an emotional postgame locker room, the Ravens gave the game ball to Reed. On Friday morning, his family said they believe a young man who jumped into the Mississippi River trying to elude police was probably his younger brother, Brian Reed. The search for a body at the scene in Louisiana has been called off. “Just being there for strength, respect for what’s
Vick completed passes of 28 yards to DeSean Jackson and 11 yards to Cooper before he threw the pick from the 27. Vick had 175 yards passing and 103 rushing in the season opener against Green Bay, nearly rallying the Eagles back from a 17-point deficit. He said afterward that he wished he played the whole game because he thought the outcome would’ve been different. He had his chance, and fell short. Down 14-3, the Eagles got back in it when their struggling defense forced a turnover on the first possession of the second half. Darryl Tapp knocked the ball out of Rodgers’ hands and Juqua Parker recovered at the Packers 24.
going on,” Reed said of his teammates he calls his second family. “They just gave me the team ball for my family. “My family kept me focused. My older brother called me and told me, ‘Do what you do. You handle your business, we’ll take care of everything over here.” It was a week of heartache for the Ravens in more ways. Earlier in the week, the sister of linebackers coach Dean Pees died. “Any time you lose someone like that it just draws every one of us closer,” Lewis said. “Not to put Coach P’s business out there, but he lost his oldest sister this week too. So as a team we had to balance that out. We had to channel our emotions.” The Ravens led 10-7 in the third quarter when Kansas City lost a fourth-and-inches gamble and then collapsed, quickly. Dawan Landry stopped the play, throwing Charles for a 5-yard loss. On the next play, Tamba Hali drew a 15-yard penalty for a late hit on Flacco and the Ravens drove in for Cundiff’s 29-yard field goal, making it 13-7 with 6:36 left in the third. A moment later, Lewis put a jarring hit on McCluster, knocking the ball loose, and Chris Carr recovered.

Sarcoidosis does affects organs Dear Dr. Gott: My wife was diagnosed with multi-organ sarcoidosis. It has caused a third-degree heart block. It has been identified in her lungs, brain, liver, lymph nodes and has caused severe skin lesions. Steroids have helped but she was taken off them because of rapid bone loss that will result in a hip replacement in the future. Her current panel of doctors seems to be stumped DR. PETER as to what to GOTT do next. Do we have any options, or is there any new treatment that maybe has not made its way to our area yet? Dear Reader: Sarcoidosis is caused by the development and growth of clusters of inflammatory cells in various areas of the body. Most commonly, the lesions appear in the lungs, lymph nodes, eyes and skin. It is not known what causes the condition, but it is thought to result from an abnormal immune response. What triggers the response is not known, but some physicians believe it is likely something inhaled because most patients have lung symptoms. Symptoms, severity and duration vary from person to person; however, for most, it goes away on its own. For some, it may last indefinitely. Symptoms depend on
Monday, Jan. 10 Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s to your benefit to exchange important information with your associates or others in your field of endeavor. The more you learn about their work, the more it’ll help you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you want good results, it behooves you not to be too self-seeking regarding your ambitious objectives. Show co-workers how they could benefit, and many will help you achieve your goal. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something in particular you want to do that could have beneficial ramifications is better carried out alone. Doing so will eliminate ineffective suggestions from a self-appointed committee. Aries (March 21-April 19) — To your chagrin, you might find that you’re a tad too mentally restless to easily focus on some serious issues. However, if you stay with it, you’ll get the answers in your talons. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — After spotting a way to derive a small nominal profit from something that is of little value to your associates, be careful that you don’t outsmart yourself by totally depleting the means. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If a project doesn’t appear to be very promising initially, don’t give up on it too quickly. After a thorough examination, you’re likely to find something about it that is worth saving. Cancer (June 21-July 22)— Even if you feel your ideas or concepts are better than those of your associates, listen attentively to their thinking. Someone could have a peach of an idea that can be incorporated into yours. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t give up too quickly if you and your mate aren’t able to reconcile regarding a specific issue. If you sound out your problem on a neutral party, you’ll find a way to come together. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Help your work go more easily by first clearing up all the old business you left festering. Once these problems are out of the way, everything else will run smoother for you. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Try to reach that one person whom you believe would be interested in one of your projects. There are strong indications that a meeting could be exceptionally fruitful. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - A domestic matter that is an issue between you and your mate should not be discussed with just anybody. If you must air it out, do so only with a family member who loves you both. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be openminded and flexible regarding ideas that affect both you and others. Even if you have a bright idea, someone else could come up with something that is even better. United FeatUre Syndicate

what area is affected. Many people do not have symptoms. Some may have signs that develop gradually and last for several years, while others have symptoms that appear and disappear quickly. Based on your brief note, I believe that your wife has a severe case that has been causing problems for a while. You do not mention when she was diagnosed and how long she was taking medication. Treatment depends on severity and what organs are affected. Minor symptoms may only require close monitoring. For bothersome symptoms or if vital organs are at risk, anti-inflammatory medication may be prescribed. Corticosteroids are most commonly used and are the best first-line approach. If they do not provide adequate results or cannot be tolerated, anti-rejection medications, anti-malarial drugs and TNF-alpha inhibitors may be considered. Anti-rejection medications suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. Anti-malarial drugs are most beneficial for those with skin symptoms and nervous-system involvement. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors are most commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but studies have shown it may be helpful in treating sarcoidosis. A final and last resort option is surgical organ transplant. This is only considered for individuals who have had severe liver or lung damage owing to sarcoidosis.
You don’t mention what type of physicians your wife is currently seeing. Because she has many organs involved, she may need to be under the care of several specialists who are familiar with sarcoidosis, one of whom might be a pulmonologist (lung specialist). Such specialists are most likely to be familiar with sarcoidosis because it is primarily a lung disorder. He or she can then recommend other physicians based on which organs are affected. There will likely be a cardiologist (heart specialist), neurologist (brain and nerve specialist), dermatologist (skin specialist) and/or a hepatologist (liver specialist). Both you and your wife will benefit from understanding her condition better. You can learn more from the Mayo Clinic (www.MayoClinic .com/health/sarcoidosis/ DS00251) or the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Re-
search (www.StopSarcoidosis .org).

History network refuses Kennedy project PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A controversial miniseries on the Kennedy family will not air on the History Channel because the completed multimillion dollar project does not fit the “History brand,” the network said. The eight-part series drew criticism during its production from figures such as former Kennedy administration aide Theodore Sorensen, who attacked the scripts as inaccurate. The role of producer Joel Surnow, a political
conservative, also drew suspicion from fans of the Kennedy family. “We have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand,” the network said in a statement late Friday. The decision was first reported Friday by the Hollywood Reporter. History said the decision was made after viewing the entire series, which stars Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes as President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie.
Jacob Bronowski, who wrote and presented the wonderful “Ascent of Man” television series and book, said, “Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.” That applies at the bridge table as well — but not always. Sometimes you can be certain of the outcome. In this deal, how should South plan the play in four no-trump after West leads the spade 10? South opened one no-trump, showing 15-17 points in the modern style. North’s raise to four no-trump was quantitative, inviting a slam. (To ask for aces, North would have jumped to four clubs, activating the Gerber convention.) South, with only 15 points, passed. (With 17, he would have bid on; with 16, he would have flipped a coin!) South started with nine tricks: three spades, two diamonds and four clubs. The original declarer looked no further than the diamond suit for the extra winner. And to show his knowledge, he made the best play for three tricks by cashing dummy’s ace, playing over to his king, and leading back toward dummy’s jack-six. However, East took two tricks in the suit, then returned his second spade. South had to hope East held the heart ace, but West took two winners in that suit to defeat the contract. Although the declarer was unlucky (he would have taken three diamond tricks 77 percent of the time), he had a 100 percent line by attacking hearts. After winning the first trick with dummy’s spade queen (or taking it in his hand
and crossing to dummy with a club), he can play a heart to his 10. It loses to West’s queen, but South wins the next spade and leads a heart to dummy’s jack to establish a 10th trick.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Two storms will continue to bring widespread precipitation to some parts of the country. The storm that will be the wettest will move along the Gulf Coast, producing not only rain along the Gulf Coast, but also snow in parts of the Southeast and Lower Mississippi Valley. The snow may cause travel problems as several new inches of the white stuff are expected. Meanwhile, a second storm will move out of the Rockies and into the Plains. This storm will be a typical Winter storm that will instigate widespread snow in the northern half of the Plains that will become heavy at times. As the day progresses, snow will move eastward into Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. A windy storm will move northeastward away from the Northeast coast, allowing breezy conditions to gradually diminish along with any linger snow showers. Dry conditions are expected from Michigan through the Northeast. In the West, linger rain and high elevation snow are possible in the Northwest, but the rest of the region will remain dry. The Northeast will rise into the 20s and 30s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 30s, 40s, and some 50s. The Northern Plains will rise into the 0s and 10s. The Northwest will rise into the 20s, 30s, and some 40s.
