Funeral set for teen thrown from truck

Family has hope

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

A funeral will be held Wednesday for an 18-yearold man who died after a wreck caused by icy conditions last week. Justin Michael Hill of Rockwell was the middle passenger in a 1987 Chevrolet pickup that overturned on Barger Road, off Stokes Ferry Road, Wednesday evening. The truck was driven by Justin Medlin, 18, and Brooke Royston, 18, was also a passenger. The southbound pickup hit an icy patch just before 7 p.m. and overHILL turned, said Trooper E.B. Perdue. Hill was one of two passengers thrown from the truck, Perdue said. Hill was not wearing a seatbelt, the trooper said. The Patrol confirmed Monday that Hill died Friday afternoon. Royston, the other person thrown, was wearing a shoulder belt. She was treated at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and has been released. Justin Medlin’s seatbelt saved him from serious injury, Perdue said. Medlin was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center and has since been released. Hill was born in San Diego, Calif., and is the son of Betty Linger Buchanan of Rockwell and Felipe Campuzano. He attended East Rowan High School. He enjoyed computers, video games and hanging out with his friends, an obituary said. He is also survived by his step-father, Roy Buchanan, sisters, Jessie Hill of Elkin, Jamie Linger of Hamptonville and step-sister, Angela B. Strickland of Gold Hill, step-brother, Jason Buchanan of Lexington. There will be no visitation at the Funeral Home. A graveside service will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Brookhill Memorial Gardens, Rockwell. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Powles Funeral Home, P.O. Box 248, Rockwell, NC 28138 to help with funeral expenses.

Crystal and James Greene stand in the livingroom of their home and show off one of the many ﬂiers that the family has distributed throughout Salisbury looking for their adopted son James Timothy Greene who went missing from the home on Friday morning.

Search still on for missing 11-year-old boy BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

A missing 11-year-old boy may have been spotted in a convenience store surveillance video Monday, offering hope for his family. James Timothy Greene, who also goes by the nickname Tim Tim and his middle name, Timothy, was last seen by his family at his Holmes Street residence Friday morning. The surveillance video appears to show the boy entering the Kangaroo Express on Statesville Boulevard in Salisbury. “It’s hopeful,” said Timothy’s adoptive father, James Greene. James Greene and his wife, Crystal, along with many of their relatives have distributed fliers throughout Salisbury. “I felt like today was the day to pass out fliers,” Crystal Greene said Monday. The family printed fliers with Timothy’s picture on them and a general description of the boy. He is black, has brown eyes and is 4 feet 6 inches tall and GREENE weighs 76 pounds. He has a mohawk haircut. He’s believed to be wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants or blue jeans and blue and white Nike sneakers.

Fliers have been placed on windshields.

The boy’s adoptive parents contacted area TV stations over the weekend to report him missing. Salisbury Police also sent a press release to the Salisbury Post Sunday evening. Police have searched for the boy every day, looking in locations suggested by the family, a police sergeant said Sunday. An Amber Alert has not been posted because so far police do not suspect that the boy has been abducted. The couple adopted Timothy in 2009 and held an official adoption ceremony in October 2009. He was living with the couple long before he was adopted. The Greenes became licensed foster parents in 2009, some-

thing they had been working on since 2008. Timothy’s biological mother was a client of Crystal Greene’s, who is a hairstylist, as were some of Timothy’s other biological relatives. “He came to live with us in June 2008. He had just turned 9,” Crystal Greene said. Timothy’s biological mother died in 2009, but the Greenes said the child was coping well. The mother’s life had been troubled. The Greenes describe Timothy as a quiet, laid-back child, who loves to play basketball.

ATLANTA (AP) — The nation observed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday on Monday with thousands volunteering for service projects and more reflecting on his lessons of nonviolence and civility in the week following the shootings in Arizona. Six people were killed in Tucson and Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is fighting for her life. The violent outburst was a reminder to many gathered at King’s former church in Atlanta that the Baptist preacher’s message remained relevant nearly four decades after his own untimely death at the hands of an assassin. Attorney General Eric Holder praised him as “our nation’s greatest drum major of peace” and said the Jan. 8 bloodshed was a call to recommit to King’s values of nonviolence, tolerance, compassion and justice. Ceremonies, “Last week a senseless rampage in parade keep Tucson reminded us that more than civil rights 40 years after Dr. King’s own tragic leader’s legacy death, our struggle to eradicate vioalive, 3A lence and to promote peace goes on,” Holder said. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle volunteered to paint for a service project at a middle school in Washington’s Capitol Hill. He urged Americans to get out into their communities — a step he suggested would have special meaning following the shootings. “After a painful week where so many of us were focused on the tragedy, it’s good for us to remind ourselves of what this country is all about,” he said. National and local politicians joined members of the King family at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta to mark what would have been the civil rights icon’s 82nd birthday. Members of the King family also laid a wreath at the tombs of King and his widow, Coretta Scott King, on the 25th anniversary of the federal holiday established to honor the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner. The largely African American audience of about 2,000 gathered at Ebenezer — where King preached from 1960 until his death in 1968 — included parents and children, members of the clergy, politicians and footsoldiers of the civil rights movement.

him. When Crystal Greene’s friend arrived at the house to get her hair done around 10:25 a.m., Timothy was not around. While the surveillance video from Monday offers hope, it is not a clear image, James Greene said. Crystal Greene said the boy in the video has Timothy’s mannerisms, but when a still image was pulled from the video she wasn’t entirely convinced it was Timothy. James Greene said other family and even one of Timothy’s teachers saw the video and said it was the child, but “it’s not definitive,” he said. James Greene coaches boy’s basketball at Southeast Middle School and said the family is thankful to those from the school and those in the community who have supported the family through prayers and concern. The story has been spreading on the Internet with family members creating a group page on Facebook — called Missing James Timothy Greene — and people are providing links and comments about the search on Twitter. Police ask that anyone with information about Timothy call 911.

NEW YORK (AP) — The bigger-is-better concept seems to be striking a chord among some Starbucks customers. Starbucks will begin a phased-in nationwide rollout Tuesday of its Trenta cup size that can be filled with just shy of a quart’s worth of iced beverages such as coffee, tea and lemonade. Starbucks Corp. says Trenta, which means 30 in Italian, will be 31 ounces and cost about 50 cents more than the 20-ounce Venti size. The new cups will be introduced Tuesday in 14 states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona. California residents will be able to buy them beginning Feb. 1 and the nationwide rollout should be complete by May 3. The expansion comes after the café chain tested the 31-ounce cup in several markets last year, including Phoenix, Tampa, Fla., and Atlanta.

The child also gets along with other children, the couple said. “He could be a follower,” Crystal Greene said. He attends Overton Elementary. Crystal Greene left the family’s home on Friday morning, while older son Lamyron, 14, and Timothy were both asleep. When James Greene left the house that morning, he locked the door while the children were still asleep. About 9 a.m., Timothy answered the home telephone and spoke with one of Crystal Greene’s friends. It was something the couple do not allow the children to do when they weren’t home. The children were never allowed to go outside either, only playing outdoors when the family was in the yard or watching closely from a kitchen window. “They don’t roam the neighborhood,” Crystal Greene said. Lamyron told his mother he hadn’t heard Timothy stirring in the house. The boy’s rooms are in different areas of the home.

Two of the Kings’ four children, Martin Luther King III and the Rev. Bernice King attended Monday’s ceremony. Their brother, Dexter King, was unable to attend the service because he is recovering from injuries he received in a car crash last year. Yolanda King, the eldest of the King siblings, died in 2007. Bernice King is also president-elect of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which her father co-founded in 1957. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, who worked with King during the civil rights movement, issued a renewed call for Americans to unite in peace and love as King preached during his lifetime. “If Dr. King could speak to us today, he would tell us that it does not matter how much we disapprove of another person’s point of view, there is never a reason to deny another human being the respect he or she deserves,” Lewis said. The Rev. Raphael Warnock, pastor of Ebenezer, called for members of Congress to show solidarity during the State of the Union Address this month. Quoting the Bible and Abraham Lincoln, Warnock said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” “Maybe after Arizona what our children need to see is us sitting together,” Warnock said. In Philadelphia, hundreds of volunteers including Mayor Michael Nutter helped refurbish computers for needy residents as part of the city’s “day of service” events to mark the King holiday. “The computer is your passport, not only to the fu-

The effort was part of the $25 million federally funded Freedom Rings Partnership, which aims to deliver 5,000 computers over the next few years to people in the city, where 41 percent of residents lack Internet access. Coloradans marked the day with marches and parades in Denver and Greeley, and the National Western Stock Show was set to host its annual Martin Luther King Jr. African-American Heritage Rodeo on Monday evening. In South Carolina, the day was an opportunity for the NAACP to underscore its opposition to a Confederate flag that flies outside the Statehouse. It was moved from atop the Capitol dome in 2000 after protests by the group. “Take down that flag,” North Carolina NAACP president, the Rev. William Barber, told the audience at a rally in Columbia. He argued the flag’s presence disrespects people not only in South Carolina but across the nation. But the South Carolina commander of Sons of Confederate Veterans disagreed. “They have the right to view it any way they wish. ... But I’m telling you it is. It is our heritage, and we will honor it,” said Mark Simpson of Spartanburg, whose greatgreat grandfather was a Confederate soldier. In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage changed plans and attended a King memorial breakfast just days after saying critics could “kiss my butt.” King is the only American who was not a U.S. president to have a federal holiday named in his honor. He has been recognized on the third Monday in January since 1986.

CELEBRATING Day of services, events commemorate King’s legacy BY SHAVONNE POTTS The spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to thousands Monday. Robert “Bob” Brown was one of those people. Brown, chairman and CEO of B&C Associates Inc., a management, consulting, public relations firm based in High Point. He spoke at Monday’s King holiday celebration about his travels with King. He traveled with King to raise money for the cause. “Unity is working today in Salisbury, N.C.,” he told the group gathered at the Hurley Family YMCA. Brown has attended and participated in many King celebrations in Africa, Europe and throughout the United States. He put Salisbury’s celebrations at the top of the list of great events for its enthusiasm and diverse participants. Brown called King a brilliant man who cared about people. “He made possible a lot of things in the communities,” Brown said. “He believed if we were

Robert J. Brown was the speaker for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast held at the Hurley YMCA.

Many tables were filled as the crowd listened to Brown’s speech. Brown traveled with King to raise money.

Jason Parnell thinks he could have the next “Rocky” on his hands. The 30-year-old graduate of South Rowan High School isn’t comparing his new film, “The Bam Theory,” to “Rocky.” But a lot of other people are. Instead of boxing, “The Bam Theory” centers on mixed martial arts fighting, popularly known as MMA. The movie has generated buzz on MMA websites, and PARNELL Parnell and screenplay writer and director Bear Frazer, who both graduated from Pfeiffer University, appeared Saturday night on FOX Charlotte’s “Got Game” to talk about the film. The movie stars Matt Coleman, a real MMA fighter from Lynchburg, Va., as Bam Thomas, a small-town fighter who has to give up his Ultimate Fighting Championship dream after his father’s death. Years later, 23-year-old Thomas decides to reenter the ring at the urging of his best friend. In one scene, Thomas runs up the steps at Monument Terrace in Lynchburg, where the movie was shot. Very Rocky-esque. Parnell, who is producing the film, touts “The Bam Theory” as the first MMA movie to focus on character and story, not just bloody fight scenes. Bam Thomas deals with a messy break-up, his father’s suicide, a deadend job, even his mother’s outrageous mortgage in a fierce foreclosure market. “A real guy with real-life issues,” Parnell said. Parnell and several other 20- and 30-somethings with ties to Rowan County just finished shooting the pitch film, a 10-minute movie similar to a TV pilot that they will use to secure funding for a major motion picture or sell to a production company. They also will prepare a 20minute version for film festivals.

Landis officials hope to develop trails, facilities around lakes LANDIS — A few YMCA staff members began to discuss a new idea with officials from the Town of Landis officials four years ago. Was it possible to establish a partnership to develop walking trails around the two major lakes adjacent to the Y property? Discussions between the J. Fred Corriher YMCA and Landis continued, and ideas started to advance. Former Landis Mayor Mike Mahaley and his board, along with Town Administrator Reed Linn began to realize that something special was possible. At that point, few people knew about the lakes and nobody had considered a wilderness recreation area. The first steps involved trail-clearing work and an building a bridge to make the smaller lake accessible to the

adjacent YMCA property, where parking was available. This work was provided by the United Way Day of Caring in September of 2008 and 2009. Planning has moved ahead within the last year, headed by Linn and Aaron Crowe, J. Fred Corriher YMCA Aquatics and Fitness Director. The Town of Landis has committed to hire a new park director who will oversee the development of the area. Amenities will include enhanced walking and hiking trails, fishing, canoeing and wilderness tent camping. Wilderness camping does not provide electrical hookups and vehicles will not be permitted at the sites. An existing lake house will become the parks office, and an existing pump building may be renovated into a bathroom facility. Fees will be charged for an annual license

and daily passes to use the facilities. Linn said that Mayor Dennis Brown and his board have approved funding, but a new budget will go into effect on July 1. “This is one of the top goals of our board, and I want to focus on parks. Landis wants to open up wilderness recreation. We want to offer what other towns can’t offer,” Linn said. Landis, known for many years as a baseball and softball hotspot, has leased out its facilities for those sports to the South Rowan Sports League. The pool has also been leased, allowing the town to operate recreation in a passive manner. Planning a “pay as you go” approach for the wilderness area, eventually a pier, canoe dock, bait and tackle shop and a general store will be included. A large shelter is also

planned that will provide gathering place for churches, picnics, weddings and reunions. The new parks director will seek grants in addition to collecting fees for fishing, canoeing and camping. “We will work toward making a least a part of the trails meet the North Carolina Disability guidelines. Our goal is to have everyone enjoy this area,” Linn said. One trail already exists around the small lake and is almost a mile long. Work will begin soon on the next trail, expected to be close to 2½ miles, around the larger lake. Eventually, Linn and Crowe hope to develop a mountain bike trail. Motorized vehicles will not be allowed in the trail area. An open house and grand opening is planned for Sept. 24. Crowe and other volunteers have planned the “Down

Broadcasting to the Charlotte Bobcats to FOX TV, used his connections to secure autographed items as rewards for people who donated money. Contributors included fighters Jake Shields and Carlos Condit and musicians Zoltan Bathory from Five Finger Death Punch. The movie raised more than $3,200 in 43 days. Frazer, who began writing the script for “The Bam Theory” in October 2009, set the movie in Lynchburg after observing camaraderie among fighters and fight fans there. Like the character in his movie, Parnell dreams big. “Ever since I was younger, I’ve always set out to be a Ted-Turner type,” he said. “I have a passion for mass media and want to conquer every area.” Parnell also performs music and manages musicians. One of the artists he represents, Chelsea Childers of Rowan County, just completed eight shows in California, he said. “It’s all part of my philosophy to surround myself with positive people doing positive things,” he said. Frazer has written four Bam Thomas films. If the first movie is successful, three sequels could follow. Or, as Parnell would say, when the first film is successful, three sequels will follow. “We don’t talk in ifs and coulds,” he said. When they complete the pitch film next week, Parnell and Frazer will hit the pavement in New York and California, pitching the movie to film executives. They’ve already hired a publicist in Los Angeles, talked with someone at Universal, and “we have a ton of connections in New York with the music industry,” Parnell said. If the film makes him a multi-millionaire, Parnell said, “I will always make sure I take care of my people back home.”

The crew has returned to Salisbury to complete the project at Six Kitten Productions in a downtown studio above Stringfellows. Salisbury serves as the homebase for most of the people who worked on the movie. “If you look at Salisbury, it’s on the verge of a real arts movement,” Parnell said. “There’s a lot of stuff going on here. There’s a great music scene, a great art scene. “It’s a town that embraces local people doing local things.” Jerod Jacobs, a 1997 East Rowan graduate, owns Six Kitten Productions and is production manager for the film. James Crabtree, who also lives in Salisbury, was the boom operator in Virginia and assists with editing. Keith Furr, who served as assistant to the cinematographer, is from Rowan County. Salisbury resident Adam Henry was the lighting director. “I always knew we’d do great things, but I just didn’t know we’d do it together,” said Parnell, whose parents are Kim and Dickie Parnell. Parnell said he wanted to take a Rowan County crew to Virginia, rather than relying on freelancers once they arrived. “I knew they were good, and I knew they were fast,” he said. The crew finished what normally would have been a two-week shoot in two days, shooting 15 scenes, two training shots and opening footage in about 28 hours. They had a limited budget, which demanded an expedited schedule. To come up with funding for the project, Frazer and Parnell used Kickstarter.com. The website helps artists raise money for creative projects through donations from friends, family and even strangers.

FOR HEAT SURGE, LLC 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720

N FREE MIRACLE HEATERS ARE ON THE WAY: Everyone wants to stay warm and save money on their heat bills this winter. These trucks are being loaded full of new Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow® Convecta-red Heat™ fireplaces and will soon be ready to go. The oak mantle is a real steal at just two hundred ninety-eight dollars and shipping because the first 11,196 readers who beat the order deadline by calling 1-866-861-7284 to order the fireplace mantles are actually getting the Heat Surge miracle heaters with new Convecta-red Heat technology absolutely free.

North Carolinians have just 48 hours to get free heaters New Miracle Convecta-red heaters are being given away free to the first 11,196 readers who beat the order deadline for real Amish fireplace mantles handmade for the breakthrough invention that drastically slashes heat bills

Save money: uses about the same electric as a coffee maker, so turn your thermostat way down and never be cold again UMS – Have you heard about the free heater giveaway that’s sweeping across the state? Well listen up because here it is and we’ll even give you the number to call. Starting at precisely 8:30am this morning, brand new Convecta-red miracle heaters are actually being given away free to the general public for the next 48 hours. The only thing today’s readers need to do is call the Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline with their order for the handmade Amish Fireplace Mantle. The first 11,196 readers who do will instantly be awarded the Heat Surge miracle heater with new Convecta-red Heat technology absolutely free. This is all happening to announce the new Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow Convecta-red fireplace which actually rolls from room-toroom so you can turn your thermostat way down and never be cold again. That way, everyone who gets them first can immediately start saving on their heat bills. Now that the bitter cold winter weather is here, portable Amish encased fireplaces are being delivered directly to the doors of all those who beat the deadline. These remarkable new Convecta-red heaters are being called a miracle because they

have the patent-pending Fireless Flame® technology that gives you the peaceful flicker of a real fire but without any flames, fumes, ashes or mess. Everyone is getting them because all you do is plug them in. And here’s the best part. Readers who beat the 48-hour order deadline are getting their new Convecta-red miracle heaters free when encased in the Amish built real wood fireplace mantles. The mantles are being handmade in Ohio, right in the heart of Amish country where they are beautifully handrubbed, stained and varnished. You just can’t find custom made Amish mantles like this in the national chain stores. That makes the oak mantle a real steal for just two hundred ninety-eight dollars since the entire cost of the new Convecta-red miracle heater is free. The Amish handmade mantle actually lets the new Convecta-red miracle heater roll from room-to-room. These fireplaces are so compact they go anywhere, yet they throw off an instant heat wave in any room. And they only use about the same electric as a coffee maker, so it’s easy to stay warm in any room of the house for just pennies a day. “You see, with your furnace you are paying to heat areas of your home that you’re not using. And since the new Convecta-red miracle heater only uses about 9¢ an hour of electricity on the standard setting, the potential

energy savings are absolutely incredible,” said Laura Rich, Operations Director. “We’re trying to make sure no one gets left out, but you better hurry because we only have 11,196 new Convecta-red miracle heaters to hand out to today’s readers for free. For now, readers can have two free per household just as long as they call before the deadline,” confirms Rich. Getting the Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow fireplace is the smart way to slash winter heat bills and still stay warm all winter long. And getting the new Convecta-red miracle heater free is like putting three hundred bucks in your pocket and you can save even more on your monthly heat bills. “We’re bracing ourselves for all the calls

because everyone wants to save on their heat bills and stay warm this winter. But those that really want to save a ton will be telling our operators they want two Amish fireplace mantles and they’ll get two miracle heaters free,” said Rich. “So when the lines are busy keep trying. We promise to get every call. Then we’ll have a delivery truck out to you in no time at all so you can stay warm and start saving on your heat bills right away,” Rich said. “You’ll instantly feel the bone soothing heat in any room. You will never have to be cold and miserable again,” she said. N On the worldwide web: www.amishfireplaces.com

How to get your free heater Readers need to call the Toll Free Hotlines beginning at 8:30am this morning. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. However, if you miss the deadline you will be turned away from this free offer and forced to wait for future announcements in this or other U.S. publications, if any. The first 11,196 readers who beat the 48-hour deadline to order the Amish made fireplace mantle and shipping get the new Heat Surge Convecta-red miracle heater absolutely free. They have imposed a strict limit of 2 free new Convecta-red heaters per household. So, readers need to hurry and call now because there are only 11,196 Heat Surge miracle heaters to be given away free, when they’re gone, they’re gone.

they seemed to be unimpressed by the snow or their new caretaker. My afternoon duty was to collect the eggs. Again, I walked over. The roads were clear by this time, but the gravel driveway was too steep for an attempt in the snow. I had no problem getting in the door now, and I found the towel-lined basket that Neta had left for me. Collecting the eggs proved uneventful except for the one broody hen that was trying to set the nest. I had to lift her up and push her off the eggs. She didn’t like it, and neither did I. My second day of duty presented a new problem. Rhett Butler, the rooster, decided that he didn’t like me. In the morning he pecked me on my boot. Startling, but not painful. I scolded him and got out of there quickly. That afternoon he still wasn’t happy to see me , and he got me in the leg. Now, I was nervous but determined, too. I had a job to do, and I was going to do it despite that mean ol’ rooster. The next morning I brought in the water and a treat. I had saved my vegetable scraps from making salad for dinner the night before. I threw them out to the chickens and did so every day following and got no more trouble from Mr. Butler. Sometimes bribery is the best answer. As the week progressed,

the snow began to melt. Icicles formed overnight and hung precariously inside the chickens' fenced area. I worried that one of those frozen daggers would fall straight down on Ginger’s or Juliet’s pretty little chicken head and take one of them out. I could reach the icicles, so I knocked them down in the morning, but I still worried. On Wednesday morning, I searched the shed and brought out a ladder. With a broom, I reached in as far as I could and tried to scrape the snow off the canvas roof over the chicken run. It took me quite a while to work my way around, and there was still a lot of snow down the center. I remembered Neta saying something once about it being dangerous for the chickens to be wet. Well, all of that melting snow was making their habitat interminably wet. More worries. I finished out the week, and both the chickens and I survived. There’s a wonder about gathering up an egg still warm from a chicken, and I think Neta’s babies are beauties. I still even have a fondness for Rhett Butler. However, the dream of having my own chickens some day, well, I think I’ve gotten over that. Having livestock is a big commitment and just a wee bit stressful.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Protesters in Charlotte say county schools shouldn’t have used Martin Luther King Day as a makeup day for last week’s winter weather. About 100 people marched in the city Monday, criticizing the decision by Charlotte Mecklenburg schools to schedule classes on the holiday. Charlotte NAACP President Kojo Nantambu says the scheduling shows that North Carolina’s largest city is still racially divided. School officials say the makeup day was chosen to keep spring break intact, and they have limited control over makeup-day schedules. Students who missed class to participate in activities related to the holiday will be given excused absences.

es, of course, I’d love to take care of your chickens while you’re out of town.” I was excited about being the chicken sitter. Having my own chickens some day was a dream. Taking care of Neta’s babies for a week would give MICHELLE me the opportunity to see MAHER how wonderful it really was. On Sunday morning, at 7 a.m. the day after Christmas, I walked over to Neta’s while appreciating the quiet beauty of the fresh fallen snow, feeling remorseful about leaving my big boot prints behind. My morning chicken duty was to change out the chickens’ water because it froze overnight. I had to fill the one that had defrosted the day before with water from the kitchen. Neta had made me a key and given it to me a few days before. I put it on my “other people’s keys” holder. I know one of the keys on it is to my mother’s house, and I think the other was to a neighbor’s house from when we lived in Virginia. After trekking through the snow that first morning, I got to Neta’s, stomped up the back porch steps and attempted to open the door with the key. When I tried to open the dead bolt — nothing. When I tried the key in the knob — nothing. It would turn but not unlock. I tried the dead bolt again, turning clockwise and counter-clockwise — nada. I tried the knob again — nope. I knew I should have tested that key when she gave it to me. I started to panic. How was I going to get water to the chickens? For crying out loud, I was going to fail my very first day on the job. I decided to calm down and try the key again. Duh! I was trying to open Neta’s door with the key to my mother’s house. Relief swept over me. I tried her key, and voila, the door opened with no problem. I filled the water container, checked on the cats, then made my way out to the coop. I had to be careful when I opened the door to the chickens’ covered, fenced-in area. I didn’t want any of them slipping out past me while I was trying to get in with the water. I am happy to report that I was lucky in that regard. No chickens escaped on my watch that week. I changed out their water without incident, and

EcoViews: Foxes have varied diets, but they prefer easy meals A

friend recently asked me three questions. What do foxes eat? Will they eat cats? Will they fight dogs? My first thought was that foxes eat grapes if they can get them. This was assuming Aesop’s fable about the fox jumping for the grapes had some truth to it. WHIT According to the GIBBONS story, when the fox could not jump high enough to get the grapes, he walked away saying, “They were probably sour anyway.” Hence the origin of the expression “sour grapes” when we pretend we do not want something that is unattainable. I kept that thought to myself. Then I thought about the song

“Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night,” in which the fox leaves a farmer’s pen with a duck and a goose thrown over his back. When he returns to his den, he and his wife had the feast of their life “and the little ones chewed on the bones-o.” But as a trained ecologist, I know that when you are not sure of the answer, providing another fact that you are confident in can sometimes conceal your ignorance. So I added, “But most foxes are too small to go after a big cat, although a coyote will.” Recovering further, with thoughts of grapes and gray geese still spinning around in my head, I said, “Foxes probably eat a lot of rodents, small birds, frogs and snakes. They will also eat fruit, nuts or grains. I imagine young ones will even eat insects.” I had to restrain myself from noting that the little ones like to chew on duck and goose bones.

Later, when I got to a trustworthy source on mammal diets, “Walker’s Mammals of the World” by R. M. Nowak (1999, Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore), I found I was pretty much right. Foxes belong in the Canidae family, as do wolves, coyotes and domestic dogs. According to “Walker’s,” the family has 36 species, of which 10 are classified as foxes. Two species of foxes, which differ enough to be assigned to different genera by most mammalogists, live in the eastern United States. Both are engaging animals with pointed noses, fluffy tails and agile movements. The gray fox, most common around wooded areas and swamps, is sometimes called the cat fox because of its tendency to climb trees. Red foxes are generally more common around open fields and

pastures. But either species can be found in almost any habitat in the Southeast, and I have seen both in suburban areas. The average weight of a fox is 5 to 10 pounds, though one could weigh as much as 15 pounds. Either species would definitely think twice before attacking an adult house cat that might easily outweigh them. A clawing, biting cat would not be worth the effort for a meal that wasn’t even a sure thing. A couple of squirrels would be a much better bargain for a fox in a cost-benefit analysis. As far as squaring off with a dog, forget it. A fox will run like the wind when confronted by a dog. I saw our German shepherd confront a beautiful gray fox in our back yard one evening and observed a truly unusual spectacle.

The fox had ventured onto the porch to check out the dog’s food bowl and had been cornered by the dog. The shepherd was 10 times bigger than the fox and seemed ready to attack. When the dog’s big mouth was about a foot away, the fox tilted its head backward revealing its throat in an act of submission. It continued leaning backward until its nose actually touched the floor behind it. The dog stopped and looked at me as if puzzled, whereupon I called him to me. The fox glanced at the departing foe and within seconds it was gone. I imagined it saying, “That dog’s food was probably no good anyway.” Whit Gibbons is an ecologist and environmental educator with the University of Georgia’s Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.

Cold mountain trek

Cold weather halts trout fishing

Winter camping in backcountry requires good preparation BY LYNN DOMBEK The Associated Press

he solitude, quiet and frozen cold of a winter landscape are great reasons to head outdoors in January and February. You can snowshoe, ski, trek or go sledding. But the backcountry in winter can also be a challenging landscape, and if things go wrong, they can go wrong fast. That may sound scary, but as long as you’re prepared, you might be surprised by how satisfying and exhilarating it can be to slow down and closely observe the environment and your place in it. Here are a few tips on safely enjoying backcountry activities in the winter.

Planning I’ve done most of my winter trekking and camping in New England, already a remote and beautiful place, but doubly so when the temperatures dip well below zero and snow covers the landscape. Preparation is your most important step. Outdoor clubs are a good resource for the novice and experienced hiker alike. They have loads of free information on their websites, and for small membership fees they typically offer discounts on backcountry lodging, sponsored trips, classes, maps and gear. The Appalachian Mountain Club and The Mountaineers cover the East and West coasts respectively. Both have resources useful for any cold climate, and links to other national and international outdoor groups. Most state parks and the National Park Service websites are full of tips, lists and trip ideas for any season. And you’ll encounter far fewer

Backcountry skiers set out across Upper south Branch pond on a winter traverse of Maine's Baxter state park. should employ the three-layer system: base, insulating and shell. The base layer is typically a synthetic because the material absorbs little water, wicks moisture away from your skin and dries quickly. Silk is a good non-petroleum based alternative, and there’s also wool. Steer clear of cotton; it absorbs water and dries slowly, a sure recipe for hypothermia. Wool or fleece are good choices for an insulating layer because they keep you warm and dry out easily. Goose down can be used if you’ll be in extreme cold, but it won’t keep you warm if it gets wet. Your shell layer protects against Getting dressed wind, snow or rain. As with every Getting dressed for winter activi- other piece of gear, you can get a ties is all about layers.

visitors than summer. For instance, Yellowstone National Park saw over a million visitors in July, but in January just 61,100 made the trek. Of those, only 97 were backcountry campers. Al Nash, public affairs officer at Yellowstone, characterized winter weather in Yellowstone as “mild or really challenging.” When we spoke in mid-December, it was a balmy 11 degrees and sunny there, which Nash found delightful. He was exuberant about the park in winter, but also cautious. “We encourage people to expand their comfort zone, but do it in steps.”

One of the most important reasons to dress in layers is to manage perspiration. Most synthetics will wick moisture away from your skin, but once you stop moving around, moisture is going to make you cold. And once you get cold, it’s harder to warm up; hypothermia can become a real danger.

Distance Generally, winter travel takes longer than treks in other seasons. Plan on covering a third of the ground you normally would in nonwinter conditions. If there’s snow, it simply takes longer to plow through it, and you’ll spend more time just finding the trail. So start slowly. Short day hikes under a mile can still be incredibly satisfying.

For the first time, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has closed all speckled trout fishing in North Carolina waters because of cold weather. The moratorium for commercial and recreational anglers continues until the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission decides it should be lifted. The Commission’s next meeting is in three weeks at Pine Knoll Shores. No one is allowed to catch, possess or sell specks until the ban is lifted. “This action is being taken in response to recent cold-stun events affecting mainly spotted seatrout,” said Dr. Louis Daniel, the Marine Fisheries Commission’s executive director. The proclamation was posted Jan. 11 on the division’s website. “The intent of this action is to prevent harvest of vulnerable cold-stunned fish which may recover with warming water temperatures,” Daniel said. The catch-and-possession closure for specks will include all North Carolina waters, even as far south as the South Carolina line – areas that traditionally don’t experience long periods of extremely cold weather. Licensed fish dealers have until Jan. 20 to sell, offer for sale, transport or have in possession unfrozen spotted seatrout taken in the fishery prior to the closure. The N.C. Wildlife Resources, which controls fishing in inland waters, has yet to announce a prohibition for recreational fishing for specks in the waters it manages.

LOCAL ALERT

Looking for Tim Greene s soon as the public learned that 11year-old James Timothy Greene was missing from his Salisbury home, people began to ask why no Amber Alert had been issued — a logical question until you take a closer look at the intention of Amber Alerts. Timothy appears to have left the home he shares with his adoptive parents on his own. No signs of foul play have surphoto courtesy of WBtV faced, but the JAMES TIMOTHY GREENE family went all weekend without hearing from him or knowing his whereabouts. That’s troubling, and everyone should help look for young Timothy — and hope that this is not an Amber Alert situation. Amber Alerts focus on children believed to have been abducted, like 9-year-old Amber Hagerman. Fifteen years ago this month, a person was seen abducting Amber as she rode her bicycle in the parking lot of an abandoned grocery store in east Arlington, Texas. “She kind of became Arlington’s own child at that time. And I’ll tell ya it galvanized that city in a way that you wouldn’t have thought a large city could be,” Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson recently told a reporter. At the time Amber went missing, Anderson was the spokesperson for the Arlington Police Department. Amber, unfortunately, was found dead four days later. Her killer has never been found. The trauma of her disappearance prompted the establishment of the Amber Alert system, first in Texas and then nationwide. The “Amber” stands for America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response — a series of public warnings through radio, television, cell phones and state highway postings about the disappearance of children — but it’s hard not to think about Amber Hagerman when you hear the term. To date, the alert program has been credited with the safe recovery of more than 500 children, and Facebook recently announced it was teaming up with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to create Amber Alert pages when a child is abducted. By the time you read this, let’s hope Timothy Greene is safe at home and people have stopped mentioning his name in connection with Amber Alert. His family put out the word that he was missing over the weekend, and police joined in issuing a press release Sunday night. The best search is a local search. Let’s hope Timothy is home soon.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

A bird does not sing because it has an answer ... It sings because it has a song — Chinese Proverb

ALEIGH — Recent actions by aluminummaker Alcoa can only be interpreted a couple of ways. Perhaps executives at the company have done some soul-searching regarding their fight over control of four dams along the Yadkin River. Or, maybe they are finally scared. For the last few years, Alcoa has been working toward getting the federal government to grant another 50-year license to opSCOTT erate the dams, an en- MOONEYHAM deavor that’s become particularly tricky because the company no longer operates an aluminum smelting plant on the river banks and no longer employs workers in North Carolina. The task became even trickier when Gov. Beverly Perdue and some key state legislators in the region weighed in against the re-licensing. Then, in November, a state agency revoked a key permit for the dams, ruling that the company wasn’t forthcoming about potential water quality problems downstream of the dams. Not long after that ruling, an Alcoa vice president decided to come to North Carolina to play nice with some of the company’s critics. Kevin Anton met with state Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, a Cabarrus County Republican and sponsor of legislation to begin the process of state control of the dams, and Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks, who for years has complained of environmental contamination by the company. Hartsell described the conversations as “trying to develop consensus.” Anton later told The Winston-Salem Journal that the company would spend $10 million to gussy up its old Badin Works plant, located in the picturesque town of Badin in the Uwharrie Mountains, in hopes of finding a new tenant. The discussions lead to an obvious question: What exactly does consensus look like? Some entity or another is going to control the operation of the dams, and the revenue that comes from the electricity generation. Without producing any jobs itself, or offering up some of that revenue stream, Alcoa isn’t likely to change any minds that have long since been made up. When Alcoa was a major jobs producer in North Carolina, state and local officials were more than happy to ignore that dams don’t produce electricity without the water, and the water belongs to the people of the state. A reasonable use of that water then, and a reasonable use of it now, are two different things. If Alcoa’s opponents do smell fear, they’re also likely to double their efforts, believing a complete victory — a landmark decision by federal regulators not to re-license the dams — may be near. They have some reason to be optimistic. The loss of the state certification potentially blocks the federal re-licensing. Of course, people sometimes overplay their hands in such situations. Aloca is appealing the decision by the state to withdraw certification. It says improvements to the dams will enable them to meet water quality standards, despite internal company e-mails that suggest they might not. Whatever happens, it’s probably far too late for a little schmoozing to create a sudden outbreak of peace where everyone decides they are on the same side. • • • Mooneyham writes for Capitol Press Association.

N-word has place in history It’s wrong to whitewash ‘Huckleberry Finn’ hat confounded book is making news again, and the controversy is the same one it has always been. The book I’m referring to, of course, is Mark Twain’s novel, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” This time, NewSouth Books in Alabama is publishing an edition that elides the Nword all of its 219 times, BILL MAXWELL changing it to “slave.” Over the years, I’ve had a special personal relationship with “Huck Finn,” published in 1884. A textual purist, I’ve always thought the enduring fuss has been much ado about nothing, tiresome nonsense over the generations. One of my most precious literary possessions is a 1948 copy of “Huck Finn” published by Grosset & Dunlap for the Illustrated Junior Library (note the word “junior”). My grandmother gave me the novel when I was in sixth grade. A woman for whom she was a maid gave it to her; it had belonged to the woman’s Armydrafted son. I was drawn into the novel the moment I opened the front cover and saw the color illustration of Huck and Jim, the runaway slave, sitting under a tree on the bank of the Mississippi River. Huck and Jim are deep in conversation. Jim, who is fishing with a simple line, looks worried, and Huck appears relaxed as he smokes his pipe. A big catfish, which Jim has caught, lies on the ground between them, and Huck’s musket and the rabbit he’s killed rest against the tree. Steamboats ply the muddy water, and a lone fisherman in a skiff maneuvers for a good spot. From the first sentence, “Huck Finn” captivated me. I liked the scruffy, pipe-smoking 13-year-old narrating the picaresque tale. And although

I was black, a year younger than Huck and living in another century, I identified with his unruliness, his many exploits, the small-town ambience and the natural wonders along the Mississippi as it flows through Missouri and Arkansas. When I first encountered the N-word, on Page 4, I took it in stride. It was a word I was accustomed to hearing uttered every day by blacks and whites. As an avid reader, I was accustomed to seeing the word in stories by white writers and black writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison and Richard Wright. I

Removing it is like airbrushing Mona Lisa’s expression to make the painting less ambiguous. couldn’t count the number of times I’d been called the Nword by fellow blacks, sometimes to diminish me, other times as a term of endearment. The word was part of the fabric of my life. My 10th-grade English teacher, Gloria Bonaparte, assigned “Huck Finn” to us, and we read it without a second thought. Bonaparte said it was one of the great American novels we should read, and she explained that Twain used the N-word because it was the most natural word for Huck to refer to blacks, given his time and place. We understood. Years later, after I became a college English professor, I always assigned “Huck Finn.” I had a potentially career-ending experience when I taught at a state university in Illinois. I had six black students and 15 white students in a course on American literature. Five of the black students refused to read the novel, citing the Nword as the reason. I told

LETTERS Honoring King or special interests? What does the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday represent? What does Dr. King represent? I believe he represents education. Why education? He believed in education above all else because without it, freedom is useless. If you are free, yet uneducated and unskilled, you are not free. We live in a county in which the unemployment rate has reached double digits. That rate is almost twice as high for black minorities. It is a county that sees hundreds of young people drop out of school each year. Is this what Dr. King died for? Is this what his vision intended? I believe that Dr. King would desire for children, black and white, to honor him by honoring themselves. He would want impoverished children to go to school so they can have a warm meal. He would want them to go to school so they can become better than their current circumstance. He would want them to educate themselves on the past to avoid making the same dire mistakes that the older generation has made time and again. He would want adults, on both political sides, to stop using his name and the name of others as political rhetoric. Furthermore, I believe he would want those in leader-

them that they had to read the book or drop the course. They went to my boss. He asked me if I would assign the students another novel. I said, “Absolutely not.” In those days, professors still had some authority. Two of the students relented, read the novel and passed the course. The others dropped out, and I never saw them again. I had another bad “Huck Finn” encounter when I wrote for the Gainesville Sun. A teacher at Gainesville’s predominantly black Eastside High School assigned the novel and immediately faced a firestorm of criticism. I wrote a column defending her and, of course, was attacked. During a roundtable discussion at a black church a week after the column was published, I again defended the teacher and the novel. I was denounced as an “Uncle Tom,” “a fool,” “a traitor” and several profane names. A man called me a “stupid n—-—.” Realizing what he’d done, he smiled, sat and remained silent the rest of the evening. I gave up long ago trying to convince others that the Nword belongs in “Huck Finn,” that removing it is like airbrushing Mona Lisa’s expression to make the painting less ambiguous. It is clear to me that as Twain employed the N-word, he ennobled Jim, the runaway slave. Jim is the moral center of the novel. He is superior to the whites, even Huck. As a textual purist, I wish we would let “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” be “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” just as Twain intended. We don’t have the right to alter an artist’s work for any reason. Authorial intent is unalterable. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

ship, particularly over minorities, to stop telling them what Dr. King’s legacy means. I for one believe that Dr. King did a fine job of defining his legacy himself. The minorities of this county do not need bureaucrats to define it for them. If these bureaucrats think so highly of the minorities they support, why do they constantly insult their intelligence by telling them what to think? I believe that this holiday's meaning is clear. It is meant not to honor a person. It is meant to honor a dream of true freedom and equality. — Josh Wagner Salisbury

Hometown hospital I have lived in Salisbury long enough to witness the acquisition, merger and takeover of many local businesses — Home Savings & Loan, Security Bank, Stanback, the Salisbury Post, Phil’s Shoes… The list seems endless. These local success stories generated great wealth for their owners and stockholders and have cre-

ated many philanthropists and good deed doers. But these acquisitions, mergers and takeovers have also caused the loss of local jobs and have hurt local suppliers. Novant’s acquisition of Rowan Regional Medical Center is no different. Rowan Regional Medical Center will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. It is billing itself as our hometown hospital. Yet its local management is gone; new management commutes to Salisbury from elsewhere, and its purchasing decisions are being made in Charlotte, and are favoring Charlotte suppliers and businesses. If Novant wants Rowan County residents to use the hospital’s services, then it needs keep more of its management and purchasing decisions local. Otherwise it has no leg to stand on when Rowan County residents go out of the county for medical services. — Michael S. Young Salisbury

Dear Amy: I was never one for New Year’s resolutions, but for two or three years I made a list of things about myself I would change. I filed them away and never gave them another thought until a few years later when I found the file. To my surprise, I had kept almost all of them! It seems that just writing them down helped them come true! — Better Person for It Dear Amy: I am now 16, but when I was younger I was not very healthy. I ate lots of unhealthy foods and got virtually no exercise. For three years in a row, I resolved to get more exercise. It never lasted a week. Finally the year of eighth grade I confided in my mom on New Year’s Day, and she replied that she had been failing to keep the same resolution. We resolved to walk half an hour every day in a park that was on the way home from school. A year later, I was shocked to realize I was in the habit of walking every day, and I had lost a considerable amount of weight! — Erica Dear Amy: I made this resolution last year and am doing it again this year. Each day I compliment someone. The lady in front of me in line with a pretty scarf, the family in a restaurant with well-behaved children, the person who holds a door for me, the person who assists me on the phone, etc. It forces me to look for the good in people and makes someone’s day pleasant. — Cecelia Lovas Dear Amy: Last year I decided that my resolution for 2010 would be to not have any opinions about anything.

The couple announced Monday the arrival of Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, born on Dec. 28 at a Nashville, Tenn., hospital. Kidman and Urban released a statement saying they are “truly blessed” and thanked everyone for their support, “our gestational carrier” in particular. The couple also has a 2year-old daughter, Sunday Rose. Kidman credited her first daughter’s unexpected appearance to swimming in the waters of a small Australian Outback town during the filming of “Australia.” She and six other women became pregnant after swimming in Kununurra.

I wouldn’t want to stay in a hotel without NokOut. I spray the TV remote, telephone and hair dryer. I’m not phobic, just cautious.

Is there any hope?” There was a time when I would have told Barbara and Jamie there was no hope. But that was before I found a product that does what none other can. It’s called Nok-Out, and it instantly kills the smell of urine on hard surfaces, on carpets, on mattresses, in the laundry and in most other places. It kills all offensive odors. I would not want to live without Nok-Out. Nok-Out is not a room freshener (although I use it that way because I love the clean smell of nothing). If you want ocean breezes or a mango-pineapple scent, buy something from the supermarket. But for a serious odor issue? Don’t waste your money trying to cover it up. The odor always wins.

Critics have noted that Palin’s political action committee used crosshairs to identify congressional districts, including that of Giffords. Palin said the graphic was not original. As she spoke, a Democratic map appeared on the screen that had circular targets on congressional districts. Palin said she and other conservatives were being

Return of ‘Baby Doc’ has many in Haiti baffled and worried PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier ensconced himself Monday in a high-end hotel following his surprise return to a country deep in crisis, leaving many to wonder if the once-feared strongman will prompt renewed conflict in the midst of a political stalemate. Duvalier met with allies inside the hotel in the hills above downtown Port-auPrince and spoke publicly only through emissaries, who gave vague explanations for his sudden and mysterious appearance — nearly 25 years after he was forced into exile by a popular uprising against his brutal regime. Henry Robert Sterlin, a former ambassador who said he was speaking on behalf of Duvalier, portrayed the 59year-old former “president for life,” as merely a concerned elder statesmen who wanted to see the effects of the devastating Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake on his homeland. “He was deeply hurt in his soul after the earthquake,” Sterlin said. “He wanted to come back to see how is the actual Haitian situation of the people and the country.” Duvalier — who assumed power in 1971 at age 19 following the death of his father, Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier — still has some support in Haiti and millions are too young to remember life under his dictatorship. But his abrupt return Sunday still sent shock waves through the country, with some fearing that his presence will bring back the extreme polarization, and political violence, of the past.

R. Sargent Shriver in critical condition near DC BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Former Peace Corps director and vice-presidential nominee R. Sargent Shriver was in critical condition Monday morning at a hospital in Maryland, a spokeswoman for the family said. The 95-year-old was admitted at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda on Sunday, the family said in an e-mail statement attributed to spokeswoman Kirsten Seckler. No other details about his ailment were released. Shriver announced in 2003 that he had Alzheimer’s disease. He served as the first Peace Corps director in the administration of his brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy. He also was Democrat George McGovern’s running mate in 1972. Shriver’s wife and Special Olympics Founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver died in 2009 at age 88.

Investigation examines Edwards’ cover-up spending WASHINGTON (AP) — A

federal criminal investigation targeting John Edwards is examining how much the twotime presidential candidate knew about money used to cover up his extramarital affair and out-of-wedlock child and whether other practices of his violated campaign finance laws, people involved in the case have told the Associated Press. A federal grand jury in Raleigh is sifting records and testimony involving several political organizations and individuals connected to Edwards to determine if the former North Carolina senator and 2004 vice presidential nominee broke any laws. A recently issued subpoena focuses on a web of these Edwards-affiliated groups, according to subpoena details provided to the AP that offer a glimpse behind the closed doors of the investigation. The case largely stems from money spent to keep Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, in hiding along with former campaign aide Andrew Young, who initially claimed paternity so Edwards could continue pursuing the White House without the taint of the affair. Investigators are looking chiefly at whether funds paid to Hunter and Young — from outside political groups and Edwards’ political donors — should have been considered campaign donations since they arguably aided his presidential bid, according to several people involved in the case who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing probe. They’re also looking closely at whether any entities linked to Edwards operated illegally. While it could not be learned if prosecutors have found violations of a specific statute, federal election laws require disclosure of the money spent on campaigns for federal offices, limit the amounts of such donations and prohibit the conversion of campaign funds to personal use.

Goldman Sachs bans investors from Facebook offering NEW YORK (AP) — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has prohibited U.S. investors from participating in a private offering expected to raise up to $1.5 billion for social networking site Facebook, citing widespread media coverage that could run afoul of securities guidelines. The investment bank said Monday it decided to restrict the fund to prospective shareholders in Asia and Europe because it determined that the news coverage could be inconsistent with the laws that govern private placements. In a statement, Goldman Sachs said it made the decision on its own and “believes this is the most prudent path to take.” Although Goldman Sachs did not specify which laws it was concerned about, the Securities and Exchange Commission has guidelines that regulate the amount of solicitation and publicity that is allowed in connection with a private placement. The development comes after Goldman Sachs and a Russian investor invested $500 million in the privately held social networking site earlier this month. The bank

SEATTLE (AP) — Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs is taking his second medical leave of absence in two years, raising serious questions about his health and the leadership of a company at the forefront of a personal computing revolution. Jobs, 55, has been instrumental in turning Apple into the dominant producer of portable music players, a leader in the JOBS smart phone business and, with the iPad, the inventor of a new category of modern tablet computers. He is Apple’s public face, its master showman and its savior since he returned in 1997 after a 12year hiatus to rescue the company from financial ruin. Investors in recent years have pinned much of their faith in the company on Jobs himself, sending shares tumbling on every bit of news or rumor of his ailing health. Apple did not say how long Jobs would be on leave. The company also did not provide any further information about Jobs’ current condition, including whether Jobs is acutely ill, whether the leave is related to his 2009 liver transplant or whether he is at home or in a hospital. Apple spokesman Steve Dowling referred to the text of Jobs’ note to employees, which was made public Monday. The majority of Apple’s board members did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Millard Drexler, CEO of J. Crew Group, was unavailable for comment according to a spokeswoman. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore referred a reporter to Apple’s press office.

He said the bank would issue a pared-down booklet with more general guidelines on how to impress customers with a polished presence and sense of Swiss precision and decorum.

Swiss banking giant UBS AG said Monday it is revising its 44-page dress code telling its Swiss staff how to present themselves, which generated worldwide ridicule for its micromanagement of their dressing and dining habits. The code instructs employees on everything from their breath — no garlic or onions, please — to their underwear, which should be skin-colored. “We’re reviewing what is important to us,” UBS spokesman Andreas Kern told the Associated Press.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords says his wife’s condition has improved so much that she has been able to smile and give him a neck rub as he has kept a near-constant vigil at her hospital bedside. The interactions with astronaut Mark Kelly are new signs of Giffords’ impressive progress in recovering from a gunshot wound to the head at a political event nine days ago. Giffords still cannot speak, because of a tube in her throat that is helping her breathe. “She’s in the ICU. You know, gone through this traumatic injury. And she spent 10 minutes giving me a neck massage,” Kelly explained in an interview with Diane Sawyer to air Tuesday on ABC. “It’s so typical of her that no matter how bad the situation might be for her, you know, she’s looking out for other people.” Such encounters indicate higher levels of functioning, implying that “she’s recognizing him and interacting, perhaps in an old familiar way with him,” said Dr. Michael Lemole. Dr. Randall Friese said Kelly also told doctors he saw Giffords smile. He said sometimes people see what they want to see, but that “if he says she’s smiling, I buy it.”

Finally the end for Favre? BY DAVE CAMPBELL Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Don’t believe Brett Favre is finally done? Well, NFL’s all-time leader of almost every major passing mark has at least filled out the forms. Favre has made another move toward leaving the game for good by filing retirement papers with the league, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Monday. This is merely a procedural matter, to start the clock on a player’s pension and Hall of Fame eligibility. It’s worth noting, too, that Favre has done this before, only to change his mind. Retired players can request to be reinstated at any time. But the news, first reported by Fox Sports on its website, was another sign ASSOCIATeD PReSS that Favre’s thrill-filled 20-year career Brett Favre watches his last game from the sidelines in a 20- has come to an end, as he repeatedly in13 loss to the Detroit Lions. sisted throughout a painfully disappoint-

ing 2010 season for the Minnesota Vikings. The 41-year-old threw for only 11 touchdowns in 13 games and was intercepted 19 times, finishing with a careerlow 69.9 passer rating that ranked thirdworst in the NFL among qualifying quarterbacks. His body took quite a beating, getting knocked out of three different games while dealing with injuries to his elbow, foot, chin, neck, back, ribs and calf — plus the sprained throwing shoulder that ended his all-time record streak of 297 straight regular-season games started. Then he suffered a concussion in what wound up being his last game, on Dec. 20 against the Chicago Bears. “I know it’s time, and that’s OK. It is,” Favre said after the season finale. “Again, I hold no regrets, and I can’t think of too many players offhand that can walk away and say that. Individually and from a team standpoint, it was way more than I ever dreamed of.”

Lexington boys prevail as old friends reunite

BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Lou Williams saved the 76ers in regulation. Andre Iguodala sent them home winners in overtime. The Sixers are already talking about the playoffs, and holding off a Charlotte team nipping at their heels in the standings is a big step toward playing meaningful games in April. Iguodala hit the go-ahead jumper with 37.6 seconds left in overtime, Thaddeus Young followed with a game-saving steal and the Sixers beat the Bobcats 96-92 on Monday. “It’s mid-January and we’re thinking playoffs,” forward Elton Brand said. Iguodala’s pull-up jumper eased the sting of blowing a 12point lead in the fourth quarter. Kwame Brown’s errant cross-court pass was intercepted by Young, and Evan Turner hit four free throws in the final 17 seconds for the Sixers. Williams set up the heroics. Williams, who led the Sixers with 23 points, sent the game into OT after he hit a 3 with 4.7 seconds left to make it 86-86. “Just huge,” Brand said. Iguodala had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Brand added 13 points and 13 rebounds. It’s never too early to start thinking about the postseason, especially for a team that was one of the worst in the NBA last season. The win put them 11/2 games ahead of Charlotte for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Boris Diaw had a tripledouble for the Bobcats with 25 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. For a spell in the fourth, the Bobcats looked poised to snatch the win. Diaw and Stephen Jackson hit 3s in a 13-0 run that tied the game at 81. Gerald Wallace put the Bobcats ahead 84-81 when he buried an uncontested 3 with 2:06 left in the game and had the Sixers on the brink of completing another fourth quarter meltdown. Williams wouldn’t let them go down that easy. Williams took the screen pass, pump-faked D.J. Augustin, and hit the tying 3 that sent the crowd into a frenzy. “I sure like the fight in my team, I really do,” Collins said. Williams apologized to the team after a Jan. 8 loss at Detroit because he missed two free throws late in regulation that could have helped the Sixers win. Detroit’s Austin Daye hit a tying 3 and the Pistons went on to win in overtime. “I really took that one hard,” Williams said. “I just said, I apologize. I lost this one but I’m going to help us win

After years of waffling, Favre cried as he announced his retirement from the Green Bay Packers in March 2008. With the Vikings interested but the Packers unwilling to let him join their rival, he was traded to the New York Jets. Following one season there, he declared he was done again in February 2009. The Vikings wooed him back to the field that summer, though, and they rode his renaissance performance — 33 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions — to the NFC championship game. After needing another summer of persuasion to return in 2010, however, Favre wasn’t the same and the Vikings slumped badly to 6-10 while going through all kinds of drama. So now Favre has headed home to Mississippi, presumably for good as his twoyear contract with the Vikings is expiring. Favre’s official website even sent out a marketing e-mail blast over the weekend, advertising a “Thanks for the Memories” poster for sale.

West Rowan’s Jarvis Morgan attempts a runner while Lexington’s Al Challenger defends.

MOUNT ULLA — Close friends don’t relish coaching against each other, but Lexington’s Robert Hairston and West Rowan’s Mike Gurley make an exception Lexington 58 once a year W. Rowan 49 on Martin L u t h e r King Day. “Mike and I talked about it,” Hairston said. “It’s a day to honor Dr. King and all that he did, and it’s just the right day to play each other.” Hairston and Gurley’s teams staged a classic at Lexington in 2010 that was won by West. Hairston’s team evened the score with a defensive-minded 58-49 victory against the Falcons in Mount Ulla on Monday. Lexington did it with manto-man defense, slamming doors in the faces of frustrated Falcons the whole third quarter to take over the game. That sneaker-to-sneaker defense was no shock to Gurley. Hairston was his assistant and the defensive mastermind on those awesome West teams that won backto-back 3A state titles and 61 straight games in 2002-03. “Robert was the architect of those great defenses we had,” Gurley said. “And I guess we got a pretty good dose of his defense today. That was the best man-toman we’ve seen. They took us out of running any kind of offense at all.” Obviously, it’s a lot easier to defend the Falcons with star Keshun Sherrill on the shelf. Sherrill will test his hip injury on Thursday. His re-

Maurice Warren led the Falcons (5-9) with a careerhigh 13 points, including two on a remarkable reverse layup. Jarvis Morgan fought inside for 13 points to equal his career best. B.J. Sherrill drilled three first-half 3s, but the Yellow Jackets held him to a single point after halftime. Lexington (5-8) got balanced scoring from Al Challenger (15 points), C.J. Woodberry (12) and Codie Boger (11). It was 29-29 at halftime, with Lexington bombing away from outside and missing, and Sherrill scoring often enough to keep West in it. “We’re a pretty good 3point shooting team, but I thought we settled for too many 3s in the first half, and they weren’t falling,” Hairston. “When they don’t fall,

West senior Ayana Avery, closing in on the school’s alltime scoring record, swished six 3-pointers and scored 20 points. Jessica Lazenby scored 14 points while Jasmine Carter had 10 for the Yellow Jackets. Due to weather issues, West (11-4) hadn’t been on the hardwood since Jan. 6 while the Yellow Jackets (6-6) hadn’t been in action since Jan. 5. “We’ve had one practice since the last time we’ve played,” West coach Erich

Epps said. “I’ve never had a situation like this in the middle of a basketball season.” Carter scored six points in the first quarter to keep Lexington close. D’Necia Osborne’s tenacious defense frustrated an ice-cold Avery in the second quarter, and West staggered to halftime with a precarious 24-22 lead. “We’re a good team when we can get out in transition,” Epps said. “But when we have to play a halfcourt game, we’re not patient enough. When Ayana’s shots aren’t falling, it’s really hard for us to score.”

Garnett returns to lead Celtics Associated Press

Notable NBA games ... BOSTON — Kevin Garnett returned after missing nine games with an injured leg and came up with a steal in the final seconds to help the Boston Celtics beat the Orlando Magic 109-106 on Monday night. Garnett went around Jameer Nelson and intercepted a pass intended for Jason Richardson, then threw the ball ahead to Ray Allen. Allen was fouled trying to dribble out the clock, but he made both free throws — giving him 26 points for the game and 13 in the fourth quarter alone. Garnett scored 19 with eight rebounds in his first game since he strained his right calf on Dec. 29. Rajon Rondo had 10 points and 13 assists. Clippers 114, Pacers 107 LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin had a career-high 47 points and 14 rebounds for his 27th consecutive double-double, and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied to beat the Pacers. It was Griffin’s 33rd double-double of his rookie season, and his 19 field goals made were a career best. Hawks 100, Kings 98 ATLANTA — Joe Johnson scored a season-high 36 points, including two free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining, and the Atlanta Hawks recovered after trailing most of the game to beat the Hawks. Johnson drove past three defend-

ers for layup with 23 seconds remaining to give Atlanta a 98-96 lead. Carl Landry answered with a tying basket for Sacramento with 11.7 seconds remaining. Following a timeout, Johnson was fouled by Tyreke Evans on a drive with less than a second remaining. Johnson made both free throws. Hornets 85, Raptors 81 NEW ORLEANS — David West had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Hornets won their fifth straight. West’s jumper with 31.7 seconds left put New Orleans ahead 83-81. He then preserved the lead with a block on Amir Johnson in the paint, got the rebound, was fouled and hit two free throws for the final margin. Warriors 109, Nets 100 OAKLAND, Calif. — Monta Ellis had 26 points and nine assists to help the Golden State Warriors beat the New Jersey Nets for the sixth straight time on Monday. David Lee added 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors, who have won two of their first three games in a key stretch to the season that features 13 of 14 games at home. Pistons 103, Mavericks 89 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rodney Stuckey scored 20 points, and the Detroit Pistons sent the Dallas Mavericks to their sixth consecutive loss.

Hurricanes wiped out by Boston BOSTON (AP) — Zdeno Chara just couldn’t wipe the smile off his face no matter how hard the usually stoic defenseman tried. Chara had his first career threegoal game and Tim Thomas stopped 31 shots for his seventh shutout to lift the Boston Bruins to a 7-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday. “It’s always nice to say I’ve done it — I’ve had a hat trick,” Chara, in his 13th season, said, smiling widely. “I did it.” Mark Stuart, returning to the lineup after missing 18 games with a broken finger, had a goal in the first period. Gregory Campbell, Patrice Bergeron and Michael Ryder also scored for Boston, which has lost just twice in regulation in its last 13 games (8-2-3).

But the day belonged to the Bruins’ captain. Chara’s first goal gave Boston a 20 lead 11:28 into opening period, chasing Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward. He made 3-0 with a power-play goal at 15:58. “He got two early and it was so nice he got the third, but nobody wanted to say anything,” Thomas said. “It was like having a shutout.” It was the Bruins’ second lopsided win in six days; they shut out Ottawa 6-0 with Thomas in net last Tuesday. It was also the third time in the last four games Boston scored at least six goals, something that excited Bruins coach Claude Julien. “This is what we’ve been preaching all year,” he said “We’ve just been getting better at it.”

SALISBURY POST

BOBCATS FROM 1B more than I help lose.” Williams followed the apology with a go-ahead 3-pointer with 43 seconds left to beat Milwaukee on Friday. That marked the Sixers’ first win in games decided by four points or fewer. Now, they have their first OT victory in four tries. “It’s a sign of growth,” Brand said. “Winning them in the crunch, grind-it-out games, it bodes well for our confidence.” Jackson, who scored 15 points, missed the final shot and the game went into OT. Brown had season highs with 15 points and 16 rebounds. “We’re fighting hard to stay in games and we’re not just giving up,” Bobcats coach Paul Silas said. “We’ll get there. We’ll learn and we’ll get there.” The big swing for the Bobcats came late in the fourth when Brand was whistled for a flagrant foul on Brown’s basket. Brown hit the free throw, the Bobcats kept possession and Diaw hit a 3 — a six-point tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST streak thanks to one foul that West Rowan’s Jarvis Morgan goes one-on-one with Lexington’s Al Challenger. sliced the lead.

Rowan Razorbacks take national title The 10U Rowan Razorbacks won the Rawlings Gold Glove Classic held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Disney World, Orlando on Dec. 30, 2010 - Jan. 2, 2011. Before the tournament began, the players met Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. The Razorbacks finished second in pool play, and advanced through the winners bracket to be crowned champion. The Razorbacks finished the week with a record of 4 and 1. In the first game, the Razorbacks beat a team from Cincinnati, 102 led by Powers Muller at the plate and solid pitching from Olen Stamper, Maddux Holshouser and Cole Hales. The Razorbacks lost their second game to a team from Miami 53. Cole Hales scored two of the runs in this tight game. In game three, the Razorbacks got back in the win column by beating a team from Athens 13-10. Maddux Holshouser led the way with three hits. Bryson Wagner followed up with two hits. In the semi-final game the Razorbacks beat a team from New York 3-1 with Daniel Durham having two hits. Cole Hales pitched a complete game, only allowing two hits and six strike outs. Cole Hales also had the game winning RBI. In the championship game, Olen Stamper pitched a complete game, also striking out six batters. Bo Rusher had two hits to lead the Razorbacks offensively. The team played solid defense, only giving up 20 runs in 30 innings, the fewest runs allowed in the tournament. Offensively, the Razorbacks were also impressive, scoring 32 runs. On base percentage leaders were Maddux Holshouser .606, Bo Rusher .566, Cole Hales and Powers Muller .500, Olen Stamper .466 and Daniel Durham .461. This is the first National title for the Razorbacks. Other teams represented were Fairview, West Virginia, Scrappy Mt. South Carolina, and Tampa, Florida.

To specialize or not to specialize Amateur sports from a coach perspective. A blog hosted on SalisburyPost.com by Salisbury baseball coach Scott Maddox.

to yourself what the truth is. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with working hard to be as good as you can be, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a future beyond the level you are at.

Game Time Ahhhh, remember the days when football season rolled around and kids played football? Then basketball season came and it was off to the hardwood. Then baseball season and time for the great American pasttime to take center stage. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that way for many athletes in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastpaced, ultra-competitive world. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athlete lives in a time where specialization is the norm. If you are a baseball player, there is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular seasonâ&#x20AC;? in the spring, then summer ball and right into fall ball which usually wraps up around the first of November. Maybe you can take a week or two off, but then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start getting ready for the spring season again (which starts in February for high school). And it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a baseball issue; basketball has the same type scenario, as do soccer and individual sports like golf and tennis. The only sport that has one season before college is football, but during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;off seasonâ&#x20AC;? you better be in the weight room and/or working on position skills. Why do athletes do this? Well they basically take this route for one of two reasons, or maybe both. First, most competitive people operate under the

presumption that while they are resting, someone else is working and getting ahead of them. Second, a lot of coaches expect (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop short of saying demand but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debatable) that an athlete focus on a sport and work hard at it all the time. In either case, most athletes feel it necessary to follow this regimen in order to stay competitive, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, to try and secure the ever-elusive college scholarship or pro contract. Is this the right thing for an athlete to do? Pretty much everyone who has a dog in the fight has an opinion on it. Personally I think it depends on several things. First, what does the athlete truly want to do? Second, how old is the athlete? And last, what is the athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill level? Of course there are exceptions but for the sake of argument letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use the majority. Question number one is the most important in my mind. Why? Because athletes need to decide what they want, not what their parents, coaches or anyone else wants. If their heart isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in it, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to work. The second question concerning age is really important too. I personally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe any athlete should specialize, if they are inclined to do so, until after their sophomore year in high school.

A young athlete needs to play whatever sports they like up until this time in order to make sure they choose the right sport and, secondly, to simply be a kid and have fun. Last, an athlete needs to take a good long look at his/her skill level and all the other contributing factors. If you are 16-years-old and 5- foot-3 with a mom and dad who are both under 5-foot-8 and you have average quickness, then it probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to matter how bad you want to be a college point guard, it probably just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen. Unfortunately, the statement I made earlier about someone getting ahead of you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work hard year-round is true to a large extent, if you are in that minority of athletes who truly have the talent to go to the next level. The trick is figuring out if you are in that minority or can be. There is no magic formula for doing so, but I suspect most athletes know deep inside if they have what it takes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just finding the courage to admit

Daily activity induces hives Dear Dr. Gott: I am begging for help, please. I am 73 years old and have lost 120 pounds on Weight Watchers. My problem is that when I walk, take a bath, get excited, angry or upset, I break out in hives that look like measles. And they’re so itchy! I have been to a few doctors, and they tell me to take antihistamine tablets, but I cannot tolerate them. I need to walk to keep my weight down and my “new” knees working. This started four years ago afDR. PETER ter having bilateral knee GOTT replacement, but I’m not sure if there is any connection. I walked three miles a day before but cannot do that any longer. I know you are busy but hope you will reply. I am willing to try anything. Dear Reader: Hives are red or white, raised, itchy welts that appear on the skin. They can be either acute or chronic. Acute hives can last from several minutes to up to six weeks. Chronic hives last longer — perhaps for more than six months. As a general rule, hives are harmless and don’t leave any lasting marks, even when left untreated. A condition known as angioedema resembles hives but is more serious. It occurs deeper in the skin and can present with swelling, blis-

ters, pain, abdominal cramping, severe swelling of the face, arms, hands, legs, feet and genitalia and, in severe cases, difficulty swallowing and/or breathing. Both conditions are triggered when mast cells release histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream and skin. Causes might include exposure to latex, pollen, animal dander, insect stings, shellfish, nuts, most medications, heat, cold, sunlight, emotional stress, exercise and a host of other possibilities. Hives and angioedema can occur in response to the body’s production of antibodies because of immune-system disorders such as cancer, lupus, some thyroid disorders, hepatitis and other infections, and the common cold. Hereditary angioedema is linked with low levels or the abnormal functioning of specific blood proteins that play a rule in regulating how the immune system functions. If symptoms of either condition occur regularly and your physician cannot determine the cause, try a patch test, where an allergen is applied to the patch that is placed on the skin. Latex and medication reactions might be discovered. An intradermal test uses purified allergen extracts that are injected into the skin of the arm and will likely determine whether a person is allergic to one or more substances, such as penicillin or insect venom. Testing that punctures, scratches or pricks the skin should identify food, pollen, animal dander and re-

actions to other substances. Treatment includes over-the-counter diphenhydramine, loratadine, cetirizine and chlorpheniramine; the application of cool, wet compresses; bathing with tepid water sprinkled with baking soda and/or uncooked or colloidal oatmeal; and prescription levocetirizine, hydroxyzine and desloratadine. Severe cases might require the use of an oral corticosteroid. It appears your hives might be triggered primarily by physical and emotional stress. Consider yoga or tai chi instead of walking. Experiment with different water temperatures and soaps when bathing. Try to reduce your exposure to emotionally charged situations, and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing. When something triggers the hives, make a mental note (or keep a journal) and avoid it in the future. In other words, take whatever steps are necessary to reduce your stress level. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Tuesday, Jan. 18 Some clever ideas regarding new ways to add to your income shouldn’t go ignored or unacknowledged in the coming months. Both luck and your own skillful insights will be on your side. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Strive to be totally self-sufficient, because the very person upon whom you’re depending might be hoping to lean on you instead, causing your whole house of cards to collapse. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’ll be completely out of line if you reprimand another for not taking care of something that is totally your responsibility. Trying to pass the buck simply won’t work. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you get an opportunity to do something with friends, have fun and enjoy yourself, but try to do so as inexpensively as possible. If it turns out to be too costly, you’ll regret your extravagance. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Find out what your mate desires before finalizing any plans that you’re making with others. If s/he feels differently about the arrangements, it could spoil the day for both of you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The only way you’re going to find peace is to keep your priorities in order. If you take care of your chores and responsibilities first, you can then relax and recreate freely. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It is imperative that you let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. If you don’t, there is a strong likelihood that you’ll be spending your resources as quickly as you make them. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — As the day grows long, your patience is likely to wane and cause you to become rather harsh or abrupt with those who don’t instantly respond to your wishes. Don’t let this happen. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If there is someplace you must be at a certain time, check the road conditions or your travel plans in case you need to make some necessary changes in order to avoid being late. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone whom you’ve engaged to help you close a deal might ask for his/her fee up front, but it wouldn’t be wise to cough up the dough until after this person has produced what they promised. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Co-workers or associates will be resentful if you place your interests at work above theirs. Be extremely careful that you don’t alienate all future support in order to accommodate today’s desires. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s important that you have faith in your own capabilities and talents. If you don’t, you could let selfdoubt gain the upper hand, and be whipped before you even begin. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Before making any financial commitment that includes a friend, make sure you have your pal’s approval. If s/he doesn’t want any part of it, you’ll be held responsible for this person’s fee. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

To ruff or not to ruff BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

In yesterday’s deal you had to decide whether or not to try the club finesse at trick one. In this deal the choice is between ruffing and not ruffing. South is in four spades, and West leads the heart ace. What should declarer do? South traded on his good distribution for his fourspade raise. West and East allowed the prevailing unfavorable vulnerability to keep them quiet. This was an error (five hearts doubled costs only 200) if — a big if — South was going to play four spades correctly. When in a suit contract, count losers by looking at your own hand (assuming

you have more trumps than the dummy) and taking dummy’s high cards into account. Here, South has two or three losers in diamonds and one in clubs. So, if East holds the diamond ace (a 50 percent shot), there are no worries. But if clubs are 3-2 (as they will be 67.8 percent of the time), South can establish two long club winners, giving him 11 potential tricks: seven spades and four clubs. Here, though, if South ruffs the first trick, draws trumps, and plays on clubs, East gets in and shifts to the diamond queen, killing the contract. At trick one, declarer should not ruff; instead, he should discard a club. Suppose West continues with a second heart (as good as anything). South ruffs, draws trumps, takes his club king and dum-

my’s ace, ruffs a club in his hand, leads a trump to dummy, and discards two diamonds on the long clubs. He loses only one heart and one diamond. Finally, if clubs break badly, South can still hope that East has the diamond ace.

Wall Street exec., author Gordon Murray dies at 60 BURLINGAME, Calif. (AP) — Former Wall Street financial executive Gordon Murray, who co-authored the best-selling “The Investment Answer” after ceasing treatment for terminal brain cancer, has died, his publicist said. He was 60. Murray died at his Burlingame home on Saturday, said publicist Jennifer Musico. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, in 2008. After a recurrence of the disease last year, he declined all further treatment and began writing “The Investment Answer” with coauthor and financial adviser Daniel Goldie. The pair self-published

the primer on financial investing in August, and it became a best-seller after an article about Murray appeared in The New York Times in November. The book’s official website describes it as a straightforward guide that will benefit individual investors, rather than the financial industry giants that employed Murray for more than 25 years. A native of Baltimore, Murray rose from Goldman Sachs bond salesman to managing director for Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston. He retired in 2001 and became a consultant for Dimensional Fund Advisors, an investment

management firm. “The Investment Answer” was acquired by Business Plus and will be published in hardcover on Jan. 25. In a statement Monday, Business Plus publisher Rick Wolff said Murray’s “inspirational spirit and legacy will live on in his honest and forthright book.” Murray is survived by his wife, Randi, and two sons, Ben and Sam. Before he died, Murray requested that no memorial service or funeral be held for him, Musico said. In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the UCSF Foundation, the Cal Parents Fund or the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation.

WEATHER UNDERGROUNDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NATIONAL WEATHER Active winter weather will persist across the US on Tuesday, as multiple weather features move through the nation. A low pressure system that brought heavy rains and severe thunderstorms to Florida will make a northward turn, skirting up the East Coast. This system will drag a front up the coast with it, spreading periods of heavy rain, and snow once temperatures drop below freezing in New England. The Mid-Atlantic states will see mainly rain showers as highs remain in the upper 40s. At the same time, a low pressure system and associated cold front will sweep over the Midwest, move over the Ohio River Valley, and into the Northeast. This system has a history of producing 3 to 4 inches of new snow, and may produce periods of heavy lake effect snowfall along the downwind shores of the Great Lakes. Light snowfall may even reach into the Southern Appalachian Mountains. In the West, a low pressure system will dip in from British Colombia and move over the Northern and Central Rockies. This system will push a cold front southward, which will extend westward from the Rockies to the Pacific Northwest. This will bring more light rain and high elevation snow to Oregon and Washington, while up to 4 inches of new snowfall is expected across Montana, and Utah will see 1 to 2 inches of new snow on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
