Officials detail rescue squad’s response role, finances BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Recent discussions about the Rowan County Rescue Squad have raised several questions about what the agency does, how it spends money and who it employs. In its budget request for fiscal year 2010-11, the rescue squad asked for a funding increase from the county to continue its backup EMS service to southern Rowan. In response, County Commission-
ers Carl Ford and Jon Barber met twice with county staff members to discuss the possibility of bringing the South Rowan peak-time service in-house. The group decided to continue using the rescue squad and concluded the increase was not needed. Scrutiny of the rescue squad’s finances prompted its board of directors to invite commissioners and media to its meeting Wednesday, where board members outlined its revenues, expenses and operations.
Local residents have continued to ask questions about the agency, though, so here are answers to some of the most common ones. • What is the role of the rescue squad, and how is it different from Rowan County Emergency Services? “The rescue squad is under contract with the county to provide rescue services and backup EMS services,” said Rescue Squad Chief Coyt Karriker in an interview. “Our primary function is rescue.”
The squad holds 12 certifications, each for a different kind of rescue (and one for ambulance operation). If someone is stuck in a car, elevator, machine or other tight place, the squad can get the person out. High angle and air rescues also are included, as well as search and rescue operations on land and water. Anytime a truck goes out on a backup EMS call, Karriker said, the squad does its best to staff it with a paramedic to provide service on par with the county’s. Starting in Novem-

ber 2009, it has provided peak-time service to the southern part of the county, reducing response times by about two minutes. (Lower than expected call volume triggered an unfulfilled request for $68,000 in increased county funds, which was later removed from the squad’s budget.) In addition, Karriker said the rescue squad is called out any time a working fire is reported, and it may

Pat ‘Mother Blues’ Cohen left New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina struck and traveled 24 hours to reach her brother’s home in Salisbury. Her second floor apartment survived the flood but not the looters who made off with her belongings.

The Rowan-Salisbury School System isn’t sure how much money it will receive from the Race to the Top school reform grant competition, but state officials say every school district will benefit from the estimated $400 million. “It’s going to have a positive impact,” said Philip Price, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction chief financial officer. “We do not know yet know what the funding stream will be.” The funds, part of $4.35 billion given out nationwide, will drive school improvement by addressing four key areas: • Adopting international benchmarked standards and assessment that prepare students for the future. • Recruiting, developing, retaining and rewarding effective teachers and principals. • Building data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practices. • Turning around the lowest-performing schools. North Carolina is one of nine state and the District of Columbia to receive money in the second round of the competition, which encourages educational innovation and reform. Half of the grant money will be dispersed to local school districts. “The distribution is based on the Title I allocations for North Carolina,” Price said. “A substantial part of Title I funding is based on the income levels of a school districts.” Price said it remains unclear exactly how much funding the state will receive. “We still have not received the exact amount of the award,” he said. “We’re hoping for the $400 million we applied for, but there are indications that it might be a little less than that.” Individual school districts don’t have to apply for a portion of the funds, but will have to submit a plan that is aligned with the state’s Race to the Top plan. The plan is crafted after Gov. Bev Perdue’s Ready, Set, Go! initiative, which focuses on increasing the number of students who can read, write and do math by the end of third grade, in-

Beck tells crowd in D.C. to restore traditional American values WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message. Civil rights leaders who accused the group of hijacking King’s legacy held their own rally and march. While Beck billed his event as nonpolitical, conservative BECK activists said their show of strength was a clear sign that they can swing elections because much of the country is angry with what many voters call an

• What kinds of vehicles does the rescue squad have, and how are they used? According to Cress, the squad has seven ambulances and 10 rescue trucks, ranging in model year from 1982 to 2008 and in mileage from 6,000 to nearly 135,000. Seven of the rescue vehicles are designated as crash trucks, two as utility trucks and one as an air truck. The squad also has eight boats, Cress said. These include one airboat used for a variety of rescues, one Jon boat for dragging lake bottoms, two Bass Trackers for dragging lake bottoms, two swiftwater rafts for swiftwater rescues and two V-hulls for dragging lake bottoms. “We are a heavy rescue squad,” Cress said Wednesday. “We meet all the requirements that state of North Carolina says you have to meet

Pat Ashley, DPI’s director of district and school transformation, said the list of the lowest performing schools could change if the latest data from 2009-10 is used. “It’s not going to affect the amount of money a school district will receive,” she said. The lowest-performing schools will receive additional support tools to help turn things around. “There will be very specific targeted, intensive, consulting and development type services in terms of really helping those schools with implementing curriculum and developing leadership,” Chadwick said. School districts will also be able to use grant money to create flexible programs similar to those of charter schools, without making them independent of the school district. Charter schools are exempt from many rules of most public schools, allowing them to test unique learning techniques. “This will provide schools the opportunity to be more innovative,” Chadwick said. Chadwick said there are already many charter-like programs throughout the state, such as early college high schools, that are providing students with progressive learning opportunities.

Grassroots event raises money for families of seriously ill children BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post
CHINA GROVE — Organizers couldn’t have ordered a better summer day for the 17th annual Godstock festival. The blue sky was filled with white puffy clouds as warm breezes greeted a small but enthusiastic crowd that gathered on the front lawn of the South Rowan Y. Two large inflatables were a popular gathering spot for the youngsters, as was the splash pad. The Red Cross’ mobile bloodmobile unit created an imposing presence in the parking lot. Red Cross workers said by lunchtime that a handful of people had donated blood, but were confident that number would pick up as the afternoon wore on.
Friends and families gathered under a generous blue and white tent to hear bluegrass by Jordan River Band of Statesville and gospel Ray’s and Glory of Rockwell. Godstock is a local, grassroots effort that raises money for families of seriously ill children. Its mission is always at the forefront of such fundraising events. Dennis Hartsell was flipping burgers, just as he has at every single Godstock festival in the last 17 years. “It started in our church,” Hartsell said of the nonprofit organization that had its genesis at Grace Lutheran Church. “(Board member) Randy Basinger calls and says, ‘You’re cooking.’ He doesn’t ask. “Once you start helping and see it grow, you can’t quit.”
The crowd munched on chips and burgers and hot dogs and slurped cup after cup of lemonade and orangeade, prepared by Ethan Goss. Ethan’s dad, Mark, is a board member, but it was Ethan who raised thousands of dollars for Godstock when he took karate. He’s now an eighth-grader at China Grove Middle School, and he still helps out with Godstock. “It’s fun,” Ethan said, flashing a quick smile. He’s become an expert drink mixer. Catherine Lippard has grown up with Godstock. The 16-year-old, also a member of Grace, has never missed a festival. “I don’t remember not coming to Godstock,” she said. “It’s fun and everybody’s so friendly here.”

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will sign an agreement with the North Carolina Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program Monday following a meeting of the college’s board of trustees. Rowan and Cabarrus counties were selected to develop a K-12 STEM program with support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Batelle Memorial Institute and N.C. STEM. The program supports 21st century teaching and learning by engaging students in digital-age learning. It creates innovative and sustainable educational initiatives. RCCC will be one of the lead agencies working to spearhead the program locally. “Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is truly that encompassing organization that represents both the Rowan and Cabarrus communities,” said Marjorie Benbow, director of the Greater Charlotte Office of the N.C. Biotechnology Center. “It is a natural leader in education.” Benbow said specifics of the program will be finalized after being presented to the state at the end of September. Benbow and state Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, Jr. will be on hand to officiate the STEM agreement signing ceremony and reception Monday. The Board of trustees will also: • Elect board officers for the 2010-11 year; • Receive reports from academic, personnel and building committees; and • Receive a report from Rowan-Cabarrus President Dr. Carol Spalding. RCCC requested the Rowan County Board of Commissioners add an $18 million bond referendum to the November ballot for capital improvements to the school’s North Campus. Commissioners voted to reduce the bond to $12 million. Spalding and the board will discuss ways to prioritize RCCC’s needs. Fall semester enrollment numbers also will be presented. Jeff Lowrance, director of college relations, said the college saw record-breaking numbers for the second year, with enrollment exceeding 7,000. The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Monday in room 334 of Rowan-Cabarrus’ new N.C. Research Campus Building in Kannapolis. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
Out of nowhere they came — to glean HINA GROVE — A light fog was already lifting when the cars and trucks started pulling in and parking in the wet grass. They seemed to come out of nowhere to this spot in the front yard of the Frank Patterson Farm operation. The people emerging from the vehicles were young and old — and dressed for gleaning. A little after 9 MARK a.m., field superWINEKA visor Kathy Trombley had everyone gather near her in a semi-circle so Tom Burgess could lead them in a quick prayer, followed by a few instructions on where they were going and what to expect. On this particular day, they would be tackling a 4-acre tomato field that had been harvested 10 days earlier. For a small state tax credit and the bigger satisfaction of feeding the hungry, owners Greg Hartsell and Tim Sloop often invite Society of St. Andrew to send its volunteers to glean what food they can from fields that already have been picked. Otherwise, the harvested field would be plowed under for a new crop with a lot of viable foods having been lost. “If they don’t open the fields to us,” Trombley said, “... all that food goes to waste.” When the farm’s professional pickers comb the tomato fields, they’re looking for and

harvesting “market perfect” tomatoes — “what looks good in a grocery store,” Trombley said. The too small, too big, too green, dimpled, scarred or otherwise imperfect tomatoes often are left hanging on the vines. “This is perfectly good food,” Trombley said. Bringing their own boxes to fill, about 30 gleaners from all parts of the region traveled to Patterson Road Saturday morning. They worked the long rows of a field for two hours before the tomatoes they had picked were divided among six drivers who would take them to nonprofit agencies or housing centers for distribution into needy neighborhoods. The tomatoes picked Saturday morning were good for eating immediately or canning later. They easily could have been on someone’s dinner plate Saturday night and feeding whole families in places such as Charlotte, Belmont and Salisbury. Annie Miller Bates of Trinity Presbyterian Church delivered, for example, a load of tomatoes in Rowan County. Burgess and his Sunday school friend, John Ross, were responsible for driving a load to Belmont. “The thing that is great to me is the number of farmers who say, ‘Come in, and take our surplus,’ ” said Burgess, who has gleaned fields as a volunteer for several years. Trombley predicted her morning gleaners, given their number, could harvest some 5,000 pounds of tomatoes. After their brief meeting,
Gleaning numbers Kristen Shaben, Charlotte area gleaning coordinator for Society of St. Andrew, reported these gleaning numbers in her 17-county area so far this year: • Total pounds of produce: 294,968 • Total pounds at Rowan County’s Frank Patterson Farm: 15,620 • Gleaning events: 158 • Gleaning volunteers: 849 • Agencies served to date: 132
the gleaners returned to their vehicles so they could follow Trombley’s truck a short distance down Patterson Road to where they turned toward the fields. The grass and dirt path had some ruts, and a few cars scraped bottom on the crown of the road, but they all made it to their tomato field, passing corn and soybeans on the way. Several gleaners made the morning a family outing. “It’s good for her,” Maribeth Burke said as she picked tomatoes with her daughter, Alyssa, a North Mecklenburg High sophomore. Alyssa earns community service credit for school by participating in the gleaning. Her dad, Tom, also was picking tomatoes Saturday — his first time gleaning. “You’re serving a purpose — that’s obviously why you’re here,” he said. “And I never spent too much time on a farm,

Man shoots estranged wife, man, then takes own life MOUNT PLEASANT — An estranged husband shot his wife and another man before killing himself early Saturday morning on South Main Street. The Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office identified the dead man as Harry Dwayne Motley, 46, formerly of the residence where the shooting took place, 1507 S. Main St. The wounded individuals were identified as his wife, Kelley Litaker Motley, 40, who was still living at the South Main Street address, and Donny Ray Threadgill, 35. They were transported to Carolinas Medical CenterNorthEast Saturday. A hospital spokesperson gave Threadgill’s condition as fair Saturday evening. She said Kelley Motley was not a patient. “This is a very tragic incident that occurred in the small town of Mount Pleasant,” Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley said in a press release. “However, the community can rest assured that it was an isolated incident to this residence.” Harry Motley and his wife were separated, according to reports. After midnight Friday, Motley walked up to the South Main Street home and entered with a handgun. He confronted Motley and Threadgill, leading to a struggle in which shots were fired, hitting Kelley Litaker at least once in the arm and Threadgill several times in the midsection. “All early indications are that Mr. Motley then suffered fatal wounds from a self-inflicted gunshot,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. Reports added that two other people who were in the residence at the time were not injured. The Sheriff’s Office received the 911 call at 12:16 a.m. Saturday from a passing motorist who was flagged down by someone at 1507 S. Main St. Deputies responded within four minutes, reports said.

They have lived in Rowan County for almost five years. tuming and singing talent, her shows were quite colorful. When she evacuated that morning from New Orleans, Cohen packed only a couple of outfits and a pair of flipflops.
It would take about two months before Cohen returned to New Orleans. She remembers that everything in her old neighborhood seemed gray, as though there were no trees or birds. “I couldn’t believe I had lost everything,” she recalls. “I had to go see.” Floodwaters had filled the downstairs apartments on her block to their ceilings but had not reached the upstairs. “I was more looted than flooded,” Cohen says. To keep from being spotted, looters knocked huge holes into the upstairs walls that separated apartments and traveled between the deserted homes through those holes. Cohen found her jewelry box empty and upside down on her bed. Her costume wigs were lying on the floor, trampled beyond repair. She says thousands of dollars in costumes and sound equipment were stolen. Only a few pieces of furniture were salvageable. She realized then her life in New Orleans was over, though she returned once more to sing at the opening of a Harrod’s casino. “I still felt, from time to time, I wanted to go back,” Cohen says, “But then it was, where are you going to stay and how are you going to live?”

Cohen was among several displaced individuals and families from the Gulf who found refuge in Rowan County after Hurricane Katrina hit. At the time, the American Red Cross chapter here said it had received donations and was trying to help 14 displaced families. Five years later, a handful of those people still make Rowan County their home. Hurricane Katrina, the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, displaced almost 125,000 people in the greater New Orleans area, according to regional census data. The storm killed nearly 1,500 people in Louisiana alone. Every city and county in the United States seemed to be touched somehow by the storm. Salisbury adopted, for example, the city of Pascagoula, Miss., and sent volunteers and supplies for its recovery effort. A Rockwell company built and filled the fields around its plants with mobile homes that the Federal Emergency Management Agency ordered as temporary homes for people in the Gulf. Throughout Rowan County, churches sent supplies and people to the ravaged Gulf communities. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Gulf residents lost jobs, homes, friends and their way of life. People such as Cohen, Jim Killian Sr., Bonnie Cleary and Anne Nesbit-White (see separate story on 1A), started their lives over here. “Everybody was displaced, and I was here and displaced,” Cohen says. “Nobody knew where I was. “Who would think something that catastrophic would happen in the United States.”
We are not just bankers, we are friends and neighbors helping friends and neighbors.

New Orleans residents could do was watch Katrina’s devastation on television. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing — but I was still in denial,” Cohen says. In the end, Katrina turned Cohen’s life upside down. It wrecked her singing career, led to the looting of her apartment and effectively forced her to seek public assistance — “and I was never the public assistance-type person,” she says.

SALISBURY POST
KATRINA FROM 6a clothing and two coolers of food and drinks. “We left the day before it happened,” Bonnie recalls. “We thought we’d be right back.” The family set sights on Concord, N.C., where Jim’s father lived. Rather than follow the interstate, which was packed with traffic, Jim decided to travel Highway 90 along the coast. It was still bumper-to-bumper much of the way out of Louisiana. At one point, to avoid backtracking, Jim pushed through a burning car on a bridge to keep going east. They reached Concord safely and watched with the rest of the television world Hurricane Katrina’s path of destruction — the damage to both lives and property.
Delayed by the threat of another storm, Hurricane Rita, the family’s return to St. Bernard Parish came about a month after Katrina. On Track allowed Jim to borrow a truck
CHALMETTE, La. (AP) — Hundreds of mourners dropped notes, cards and letters — many of them stained with tears — into a steel-gray casket on Saturday in a symbolic burial of Hurricane Katrina. One letter written by a child in red crayon said: “Go away from us.” Another note remembered one of the 1,800 victims of Katrina: “R.I.P. Gloria, I will always love you.” The casket, along with some of the anger, grief and frustration, was later interred under an appropriately dark sky as rain pounded umbrellas. “I asked for no more suffering, for everything to come back to where it was,” Walter Gifford, 47, said of his note. He rebuilt his home and moved back to the area near New Orleans. “I ask for the sadness for so many to end.”
The five years since Katrina have been good and bad. The Saints won the Super Bowl. Jamie, now a senior at Carson High

for the quick trip, just to determine whether anything was left. Their old house was full of swamp mud and mold spores, and it smelled horrible. There were dead fish and crabs everywhere. Jamie was able to find only one of her 17 cats. Bonnie lost some 300 plants. They salvaged only a few items, such as a china plate, a ceramic cat, oriental statues and a crucifix. They were leaving a strong sentimental attachment behind. Bonnie was a New Orleans native. Jim had moved there from Hickory as a boy in 1960. Back in North Carolina, Jim and Bonnie enrolled in Prosperity Inc. classes for firsttime homebuyers and were approved for a government loan to buy the house from the Smiths. “People accepted us with open arms,” Bonnie says of their new home in Rowan County and the help they received to get their lives started again.

For several days, the family couldn’t reach anyone back in Louisiana. Bonnie’s youngest son, Eric, had stayed behind. She later learned from Eric that he had retrieved a rowboat from the roof of a drugstore and had begun bringing food and water to remaining residents and ferrying some to a local rescue center. He had been a hero, among many from those days after Katrina hit. Eric eventually moved his family to Baton Rouge. Jim and Bonnie knew that floodwaters probably had destroyed their rental house in St. Bernard Parish. They lived in Chalmette, on the east bank of the Mississippi River. “Once the levee broke, that was it,” Jim says. “I started looking for work up here.” Within a couple of weeks, Tim and Cindy Nooner at On Track Auto Sales on U.S. 29 south of Salisbury hired Jim as a mechanic. Through the Red Cross, the family met Marshall and Debbie Smith, who allowed them to live in a brick house on U.S. 29 for six months rent-free. Previously, the Red Cross had moved the family out of Jim’s father’s place, which had only one bedroom, and into a Concord hotel.

FROM 1a on her apartment in Gretna, and it had been flooded. She didn’t know what had happened to her car until a year later when authorities contacted her and said it was found abandoned on a highway. They would destroy it if it were not claimed within so many days. Nesbit-White told them to take it, knowing it wouldn’t run again. Her grown stepchildren found Federal Emergency Management Agency accommodations in Arkansas. Her own children were OK, and her husband secured a teaching job in Jacksonville, N.C. But he didn’t want to move to Charlotte and, within a year, he divorced Anne. Today he’s back in New Orleans, along with her stepchildren. Meanwhile, Anne landed a job as case manager for a foster care agency in Charlotte. But her background — at 50, she had earned bachelor’s degrees in counseling and sociology from Southern University at New Orleans — was in substance abuse counseling, and she moved to Salisbury for a position with Rowan Treatment Associates. She soon lost that job, which paid her more than $35,000 a year, and a tough
year of drawing unemployment followed. Anne worried that her age — she is now 64 — was hurting her in finding a new job. One day at her Seventh Day Adventist Church, Nesbit-White stood up and told fellow church members about her struggles. The testimony connected her with an elderly couple who needed live-in help. She could reside in their basement in exchange for assisting them. Nesbit-White calls her home “a sweet deal.� She pays no rent and nothing for utilities, except $10 a month for a cable television box. In exchange for the accommodations, she cooks meals and cleans house for the 88-yearold woman owner upstairs, whose husband has since died. Anne also drives the woman to her doctor appointments. “I think it’s an even exchange,� she says. Nesbit enrolled at RowanCabarrus Community College to receive her nurse’s aide training. She now draws Social Security and supplements those monthly checks by working 17 to 22 hours a week as an in-home care provider for Personal Touch Home Health Care. It’s physical work that involves bathing, feeding and changing the clothes of her clients. It pays her $7.25 an hour.
The good news is, NesbitWhite says, that her Ford Taurus will be paid off by next June. “You make do with what you have,� she says. “Thank God I have a roof over my head.� Nesbit-White’s first encounter with New Orleans came in the early 1970s when she visited a friend during Mardi Gras. “Love at first sight,� she says of her emotional attachment to the city. Soon she was living and working there. New Orleans became the place she would meet her second husband, who drove a horse-and-buggy tour in the French Quarter. Together they raised her two sons and three of his children from another marriage. It was where they both enrolled at Southern University and earned their degrees. New Orleans was the place, Nesbit-White says, where she had friends to talk with and go out to dinner. After Katrina, many of them scattered to states such as Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi. She doesn’t know where other friends are. “They just got lost in the storm,� she says. Nesbit-White says she might go back to New Orleans some day — just to visit. She’s thinking Mardi Gras would be a good time. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

FROM 1a out-of-touch Washington. Palin told the tens of thousands who stretched from the marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the grass of the Washington Monument that calls to transform the country weren’t enough. “We must restore America and restore her honor,� said the former Alaska governor, echoing the name of the rally, “Restoring Honor.� Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008 and a potential White House contender in 2012, and Beck repeatedly cited King and made references to the Founding Fathers. Beck put a heavy religious cast on nearly all his remarks, sounding at times like an evangelical preacher. “Something beyond imagination is happening,� he said. “America today begins to turn back to God.� Beck exhorted the crowd to “recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king. He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us.� He asked his audience to pray more. “I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see,� he said. A group of civil rights activists organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton held a counter rally at a high school, then embarked on a three-mile march to the site of a planned monument honoring King. The site, bordering the Tidal Basin, was not far from the Lincoln Memorial where Beck and others spoke two hours earlier. Sharpton and the several thousand marching with him crossed paths with some of the crowds leaving Beck’s rally. People wearing “Restoring Honor� and tea party T-shirts looked on as Sharpton’s group chanted “reclaim the dream�

and “MLK, MLK.� Both sides were generally restrained, although there was some mutual taunting. One woman from the Beck rally shouted to the Sharpton marchers: “Go to church. Restore America with peace.� Some civil rights marchers chanted “don’t drink the tea� to people leaving Beck’s rally. Sharpton told his rally it was important to keep King’s dream alive and that despite progress more needs to be done. “Don’t mistake progress for arrival,� he said. He poked fun at the Beckorganized rally, saying some participants were the same ones who used to call civil rights leaders troublemakers. “The folks who used to criticize us for marching are trying to have a march themselves,� he said. He urged his group to be peaceful and not confrontational. “If people start heckling, smile at them,� Sharpton said. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to Congress, said she remembers being at King’s march on Washington in 1963. “Glenn Beck’s march will change nothing. But you can’t blame Glenn Beck for his March-on-Washington envy,� she said. Beck has said he did not intend to choose the King anniversary for his rally but had since decided it was “divine providence.� He portrayed King as an American hero. Sharpton and other critics have noted that, while Beck has long sprouted anti-government themes, King’s famous march included an appeal to the federal government to do more to protect Americans’ civil rights. The crowd — organizers had a permit for 300,000 — was a sea of people standing shoulder to shoulder across large expanses of the Mall. The National Park Service stopped doing crowd counts in

Medicare to provide counseling Are you losing sleep because of an overactive bladder? for those trying to quit smoking
MA0904736
expand the benefit to cover up to eight counseling sessions a year for people who want to quit. Next year, such counseling will be free, under a provision in President Barack Obama’s health care law that eliminates co-payments for preventive services. Older smokers often don’t get as much attention from doctors as do younger ones. “They just figure, ’Well, it’s too late,�’ said Straube, that the damage is already done. That may start to change now. About one in 10 seniors smoke, compared with one in five people among the U.S. population as a whole. It turns out that smokers age 65 and older present a medical paradox. Many started when it was fashionable to light up. They are more likely than younger smokers to be seriously hooked on nicotine and less likely to attempt quitting. But research shows that their odds of success are greater if they do try to give up the habit. Older smokers who receive counseling are significantly more likely to quit than those who only get standard medical care. It’s unclear why older people who try to quit have better luck than younger smokers. Some experts think it’s because older smokers are more motivated, perhaps from having seen a loved one die of cancer or heart disease.

WASHINGTON (AP) — They’ve lived with the health warnings about smoking for much of their lives and doubtless seen the ill effects on friends, relatives and even themselves, yet about 4.5 million older people in the U.S. keep on lighting up. Medicare is finally catching up to most private insurers by providing counseling for anyone on the program who’s trying to kick the habit. Dr. Barry Straube, Medicare’s chief medical officer, says it’s never too late to quit, even for lifelong smokers. “The elderly can respond to smoking cessation counseling even if they have been smoking for 30 years or more,� says Straube. “We do know we can see a reduction in the death rate and complications from smoking-related illnesses.� Not only cancer, heart disease and lung problems, which can kill, but also gastric reflux, osteoporosis and other ailments that undermine quality of life. Smoking-related illnesses cost Medicare tens of billions a year. Straube cites a twodecade estimate of $800 billion, from 1995 through 2015. Medicare already covers drugs used to help smokers quit, as well as counseling for those who have developed a smoking-related illness. But starting immediately, the program will
Our local study doctors are currently conducting a clinical research study for adults with overactive bladder, known as OAB. The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of flexible dose regiment of an approved medication to placebo (inactive substance) on night-time urinary urgency in adults with overactive bladder. To qualify you must be at least 18 years old and have had overactive bladder symptoms for at least 3 months and night-time urinary urgency. This study requires 5 office visits over a 16 week period. Volunteers will receive at no cost: • Study related examinations • Lab Tests • Study Medication or Placebo Financial compensation may be provided for time and travel.

Trees planted to show signs of life at ground zero NEW YORK (AP) — After nearly nine years, life is returning to ground zero in a tangible way. Crews began planting 16 swamp white oaks Saturday at the World Trade Center site. They are the first of nearly 400 trees to be planted around the eight-acre memorial to the nearly 2,800 people were killed when terrorists attacked the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. The trees will dot a cobblestone plaza surrounding two huge pools built on the footprints of the destroyed towers. Joe Daniels, president of the 9/11 Memorial Foundation, was at the site to help with the planting. He said memorial designers envisioned a lush and quiet green space that would bring solace to visitors. “When people come up to
the pools and see the names and be under this canopy, this forest, it will be a very peaceful environment,� Daniels said. Cultivated for four years at a nursery in Millstone, N.J., the 16 trees were loaded onto eight tractor-trailers at midnight Friday for the 35-mile trip. Several were planted overnight and into Saturday morning on the western side of the memorial plaza. The memorial plaza will essentially become a rooftop garden, built atop the deep chasm left by the destroyed towers. It will cover the museum commemorating the 2001 attacks, commuter train platforms and a parking garage that are being built. Daniels said the swamp white oaks were selected for their beauty and their ability to withstand cold and snow.

James’ Livingstone debut a defeat BY RICKY ROGERS sports@salisburypost.com
PETERSBURG, Va. — This is not what Elvin James Va. State 30 had in mind. James traveled Livingstone 6 to Petersburg for his debut as Livingstone football coach Saturday and was sent home with a 30-6 loss to Virginia State. LC (0-1) forced five turnovers, including one fumble recovery by for-
mer West Rowan star Bryan Aycoth, now a linebacker. But too many Trojan big plays did them in. Virginia State took the opening kickoff and drove 49 yards in nine plays for a 25-yard field goal to go up 3-0. A missed Livingstone scoring opportunity came in the second quarter after a fumble recovery. It missed a 27-yard field-goal attempt. Livingstone’s best offensive showing came after falling behind
30-0 in the fourth quarter. After the Trojans last score, junior Jamel Moore took the kickoff return 82 yards to the Trojan 8-yard line. Two plays later quarterback Curtis Edens connected with freshman wide receiver Miguel Harrison for a touchdown. Livingstone gained 193 yards on 57 plays. Edens completed seven passes for 130 yards and freshman Raymond Mallos completed three passes for 18 yards.
Omar McFadden caught three passes for 94 yards. Miles Harris led the Blue Bears on the ground with 42 yards. Livingstone lost this game early. At the half, the Blue Bears had managed just 54 yards on 27 plays. Edens managed only 25 yards through the air. It got no better as Livingstone took the second-half kickoff but managed to hold the ball only 14 seconds before having to punt. The Blue Bear
punt was blocked. Aiding Aycoth on defense were Justin Johnson and Shawntez Jones, who each had seven tackles for the Blue Bears. Jones also recorded 2.5 tackles for loss. Juniors Michael Haygood and Shawntez Jones, along with freshman Jammal Acre, each recorded four tackles in the first half. On the defensive side of the ball juniors The Blue Bears will travel to Newberry next week.

Defense carries Panthers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Star running backs Chris Panthers 15 Johnson and Titans 7 DeAngelo Williams couldn’t find any holes. Vince Young and Matt Moore weren’t much better through the air. Optimists can point to the ferocious defense Carolina and Tennessee played Saturday night, but the offensive ineptitude was cause for concern after the Panthers slogged to a 15-7 victory over the Titans.
Carolina’s overhauled defense hardly looked like it missed Julius Peppers, sacking Young four times, keeping Johnson in check and holding Tennessee to 50 yards in the first half. But the Titans stymied Moore and Williams, with Carolina’s first-team offense still looking for its first touchdown of the preseason despite playing into the fourth quarter against Tennessee’s second- and third-stringers. Johnson, the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2009, managed just 10 yards on eight carries with little room to roam in his most extensive work of the pre-
season. He has 39 yards on 19 carries in three games after rushing for 2,006 yards last season. Young, playing the entire first half, completed just 6 of 9 passes for 48 yards under constant pressure. Charles Johnson, who took over the five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Peppers when he signed with Chicago in the offseason, had his way with right tackle David Stewart and had two of Carolina’s seven sacks on the night. The Panthers, who held the Jets to 112 yards a week earlier, looked speedy in the secondary and the line swarmed the ball de-
spite starting with four different linemen than ended last season. The Panthers have used 18 in three games. The offense, though, still needs work as Carolina again played without star receiver Steve Smith (broken arm) and running back Jonathan Stewart (heel). Moore, given the starting job when Jake Delhomme was released, had his third straight uninspiring performance. He completed 18 of 33 passes for 190 yards and no interceptions as the Panthers’ first-team offense has managed five field goals in 39 preseason possessions.

Gordon back to make amends
Vikings’ Favre going where few quarterbacks have gone before BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI Associated Press
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The aches and pains simply never go away for Brett Favre anymore. Nineteen NFL seasons have taken their toll, and when he gets out of bed in the morning he feels every one of the hits he’s taken. His ankle barks at him as soon as his foot hits the floor, his knees creak as he stands up and his back groans as he stretches to get loosened up for another day as a 40-year-old quarterback. “There’s nothing on me 100 percent,” Favre said. “There wasn’t anything on me 100 percent last year or the year before. The surgeries, I think, have made me a little better, but I’ve played 309 straight games, I can’t complain.”
He can’t quit, either. As he prepares to enter his 20th season in the league, Favre is going where few quarterbacks have gone before him. And he’s looking to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a place even fewer QBs have taken this tortured franchise — to the Super Bowl. Seventeen quarterbacks in NFL history have started a season in which they turned 40 by Nov. 1. The vast majority of those players spent the waning days of their careers watching from the sidelines. George Blanda played until he was 48 as a kicker and backup quarterback who did complete 119 passes after turning 40. Favre is the only 40-year-old quarterback to win a playoff game and one of only three to start more than six games in his 40s. He joins Warren Moon and
MONTREAL — Marcos Ambrose again took care of business in Nationwide qualifying at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. All he has to do now is finally take advantage of starting up front at the tricky 14-turn layout. Ambrose turned a fast lap of 97.079 mph Saturday to edge Canadian star Jacques Villeneuve’s 96.924 mph and take the pole for today’s Nationwide Series race. “I’ve led more laps here than anybody else and haven’t been to Victory Lane,” said Ambrose, who AMBROSE won the pole a year ago, led 60 of 76 laps over the 2.7-mile circuit, and was passed by Carl Edwards in the final turn. “The race tomorrow could go any way. This race is hard on equipment, hard on tempers.” Joey Logano, who finished second to Ambrose at Watkins Glen three weeks ago, qualified third at 96.650 mph, while defending race winner Carl Edwards was fourth at 96.344 mph. Series points leader Brad Keselowski will start eighth. Qualifying was divided into eight groups, with assignments based on practice times from the first session, which Villeneuve and Edwards topped with identical speeds. Villeneuve and Ambrose kept leapfrogging one another on each of their three laps before Ambrose finally won. Villeneuve, who also qualified second at Road America in mid-June, thought he might have a shot at the top spot, and so did his fans, who cheered loudly before Ambrose spoiled the celebration. “Of course, it’s frustrating,” said Villeneuve, a former champion in Formula One and winner of the 1995 Indy 500. “To be on the front row with him is fantastic, though.” Logano made the trip north on a rare off weekend for Sprint Cup, and he made the most of it despite going off course and scaring some wildlife more than once in his three qualifying laps. “I’m pretty pumped up,” Logano said. “... I was trying to get acclimated to this track again. Our first lap was terrible. I went off the racetrack and woke up all the groundhogs. I just need a little bit more to get where these guys go. Maybe when they start beating their fenders I’ll be ready to go.”

Brett Favre will turn 41 in october, ancient in quarterback years. Yet he is coming off perhaps the best season of his career. Vinny Testaverde, who each made 25 starts in their 40s. How does he do it? And what makes him want to leave a cushy life on his 465-acre spread in Hattiesburg, Miss., where he has more money than he could spend in two lifetimes, to endure another season of punishment? “I look at him and he’s a competitor,” former quarterback Len Dawson told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
“He loves the game. He loves the competition. He probably gets bored. What’s he going to do when he’s down on that farm in Mississippi? Run around on that tractor? That would get old real quick.” If anyone can speak to the mentality of a 40-year-old quarterback, it’s Dawson. The Hall of Famer and Super Bowl win-

MONTREAL — Robby Gordon was true to form, blunt in his answer to the initial question posed about his return to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the first time in three years. “Did you mean since I won?” Gordon asked Saturday before qualifying for today’s Nationwide Series race. “We’ve still got the banner hanging on our wall. We came back for redemption, and we’ll do the best job we can.” Gordon’s run-in with Marcos Ambrose made the inaugural Nationwide event in Montreal one that will long be remembered. Gordon passed Ambrose to take the lead late in the 2007 race, and Ambrose came right back and spun Gordon at the same time a caution was called for an accident far behind them. Gordon, who didn’t get right back in line, thought he should have been second on the restart. Instead, NASCAR ruled he was 13th because he had not maintained reasonable speed after his spin. Gordon refused to drop back in the field, held second on the restart, and then spun Ambrose

SPORTS DIGEST
Laird surges; Tiger fades Associated Press
PARAMUS, N.J. — Martin Laird suspected that four straight birdies early in the round and no bogeys had put him in the lead Saturday at The Barclays. When he finally glanced at a leaderboard, it gave him quite a jolt. And it had nothing to do with the size of his three-shot lead. The board occasionally shows the projected FedEx Cup standings. Laird, who started these playoffs at No. 95 and was hopeful of reaching the second round, saw his name at No. 1. “I didn’t think I’d come in here and move that much,” Laird said after his 6under 65. “I caught a glimpse of the projected FedEx Cup and I got a little shock.” Tiger Woods also has something at stake Sunday, but it most likely won’t be a trophy. After missing only one fairway AssOciAted pRess in each of the first two rounds, Woods hit tiger Woods watches his tee shot on No. 1 go out of bounds. his opening tee shot off the property and

LAIRD Laird was simply trying to get into the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings to qualify for the playoffs, and he’s moving up quickly. Justin Rose, in his final round before Montgomerie makes his captain’s picks, went off early having narrowly made the cut and shot 65 to join the group at 7-under 206 that included Ryan Palmer, Matt Kuchar, John Senden, Vaughn Taylor and Kevin Streelman. “I think it’s a tight selection process,” said Rose, who has been quiet since wins at the Memorial and AT&T National. “It’s just been nice to make a little bit of noise
Serena’s foot-fault official will return
No-name Edwards Associated Press
The NASCAR notebook ... Carl Edwards is the defending winner of the Nationwide Series race in Montreal, but he was hardpressed to sell that to a security guard at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Edwards didn’t have a parking pass to enter the grounds for the morning practice on Saturday and struggled to get inside. “They (the fans) convinced him by yelling my name, and kind of heckling us a little bit, to let me in,” Edwards said with a smile. “That was my defining moment so far — to make it in for practice. His last name may have been Keselowski, I don’t know. That was pretty fun, but I was either going to jail or have to walk, I guess.” Brad Keselowski was eager to have some fun discussing Edwards’ predicament. The two have had several on-track incidents, including a violent one in the Nationwide race at Gateway in July. “I was hoping somebody would ask me a question,” Keselowski said. “I had this whole ... sarcastic answer and I didn’t get an opportunity to use it. I thought someone would ask me, ’What do you think of the track here in Montreal?’ and my answer was going to be, ’It’s great. I love coming to Montreal. I actually have some friends and family that work here in security and they do a really good job.’ “ Edwards won the Nation-
wide race at Gateway International Raceway last month when he intentionally drove into the back of Keselowski’s No. 22 Dodge on the last lap after Keselowski had made contact in a pass for the lead. NASCAR placed both drivers on probation for the remainder of the season because of the incident. • FOOL’S GOLD: Robby Gordon won a dirt race at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium in 1988, and it’s still fresh in his mind because of the unusual $10,000 payday he earned. “We came up here and raced Mickey Thompson cars,” Gordon recalled Saturday before Nationwide qualifying. “They paid us in gold, which was really weird because what am I going to do with gold? I need money to eat. This gold isn’t going to buy us gas and all this stuff.” Gordon went on to echo the sentiments of most of the drivers about racing in Canada. The Nationwide race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will be run for the fourth time Sunday and is one of the best-attended races on NASCAR’s second-tier circuit. Last year’s event drew nearly 70,000. “I really enjoy Canada races,” Gordon said. “I was talking to my team members about that last night. When I grew up racing IndyCars — not to compare it to IndyCar — but it was an atmosphere. It seems like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal had the
GORDON FROM 1B to deny the affable Aussie the win. “It’s one of those things,” Gordon said. “What comes around goes around.” Gordon continued on and was the first driver to cross the finish line, then did a big burnout to celebrate a victory that actually went to Kevin Harvick. NASCAR disqualified Gordon for disobeying a black flag and also suspended him for the next day’s Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono. Both drivers have long since moved on. “Robby and I actually get along pretty good,” said Ambrose, who will have most of his Sprint Cup crew in the pits. “We had our moment here in the first event.

racing atmosphere. You come up here and see everybody is so enthusiastic about racing.” • ROLEX WINNERS: Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas are the kings of the road in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. The Chip Ganassi Racing teammates recorded their record eighth victory of the season Saturday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to clinch the series title with one race remaining in the 12-race season. It’s the fourth series title in the Daytona Prototype class for Ganassi. “It’s been an incredible season for us,” Pruett said. “We just hit on something. It’s truly been a dream season. I turned 50 this year. We had another record season. It’s all about the winning.” “We’re overwhelmed with all the results,” Rojas said. “We never stopped pushing. We still went for the lead.
for both of us in our careers. It set me up as a guy who is gracious in defeat and has been known for it, and it set Robby up as a bad guy for a while. I’m not too focused on him. I don’t predict any trouble between us.” There are no worries of rain this time. Sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s are predicted for Sunday. The drivers expect a difficult race because of the good weather and the strong contingent of road racing aces in the field, including former Formula One champ Jacques Villeneuve and rising 23-year-old French Canadian star Andrew Ranger, who was third in this race a year ago. For all of Ambrose’s heartbreak on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, they pale in comparison to his awful gaffe in the Sprint Cup road race at Sonoma in June.

speed, and ended up sixth to winner Jimmie Johnson in a scenario eerily similar to Gordon’s here three years ago. Ambrose will have to wait a year to return to Sonoma. He’s ready to make amends here, though, and brought the same No. 47 Toyota he used to win at The Glen three weeks ago. “We feel like we’ve brought our best piece that we can, and hopefully the luck is on our side this year and we can forget the misfortune of the last three,” Ambrose said. “It’s not one thing, it’s been a combination of bad luck and problems out of our control that cost us the wins.” It’s a rare off weekend for the Sprint Cup series and the second and final time under the current contract that the Montreal race will be a standalone event. It’s scheduled opposite Michigan in 2011.
Good news and bad in No. 10 Hokies’ last scrimmage Associated Press
The college football notebook ... BLACKSBURG, Va. — Tyrod Taylor was midseason sharp in No. 10 Virginia Tech’s final scrimmage of the fall, completing 16 of 17 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns. The only incompletion was a ball he threw away, coach Frank Beamer said after the closed scrimmage. It pitted the Hokies’ first team offense and defense against the second units. The Hokies’ first teamers won, 31-6. The performance was great for the first units, Beamer said, but not so good for the reserves, especially not with a season opener against No. 3 Boise State just nine days away. “You hope your first offense and defense is that good,” he said, “and you hope your second offense and defense is not that bad. Some of those guys need to play better for us.”
and shoot a great round to show him my game is there. I didn’t go out there to prove anything today. But I’m glad that it worked out. I think it’s a timely round of golf. Woods was in a tie for 28th, continuing his slide since he opened with a 65 to share the first-round lead. Four shots behind to start the third round, his 3-wood went straight up in the air, then straight left, over the trees and out-of-bounds. He had to hit another tee shot, then missed a short putt and took triple bogey. Woods went out in 39 after a bogey on the ninth before he began another reclamation project — birdies on the par 5s, and a 7-iron to 8 feet on the 18th hole for another birdie. The top 100 in the standings — Woods is at No. 112 — make it to the Deutsche Bank Championship, which donates its proceeds to the Tiger Woods Foundation. Woods likely will need something around par in the final round to get there. Laird has much higher hopes.
The top defensive unit allowed two field goals, one a 54-yarder by Justin Myer. Other offensive stars for the Hokies included wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught seven passes for 134 yards, and tight end Andre Smith, who took Taylor’s first completion 95 yards for a score. Taylor completed his first 10 passes, for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Beamer says there was more good and bad news, too. The Hokies’ first team punt coverage unit blocked a punt by Brian Saunders, the starting punter. “It’s hard to be happy,” said Beamer, who coaches the Hokies’ special teams. “I’m glad to be blocking kicks, but you’d like to have your protection a little better.” OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA CITY — Corey Wilson may not be able to run out and catch a
pass for Oklahoma. Walking can still be a struggle for the receiver who injured his spinal cord in a car accident last year. That doesn’t mean he can’t make a difference for his team and, eventually, for others who find themselves in the same situation. Wilson is now serving as an unofficial assistant coach, helping to review film and offering his teammates pointers. And when he can, he wants to start a foundation to help people who use wheelchairs or are dealing with disabilities. Wilson was honored Saturday night with a Courage Award from the INTEGRIS Health hospital system. He says he still hopes to someday walk again. SOUTHERN CAL LOS ANGELES — Marc Tyler will be the starting running back for Southern California’s season opener against Hawaii on Thursday.
NEW YORK — The line judge who called a foot fault on Serena Williams that sent the star into a tirade during last year’s U.S. Open semifinals will be officiating at this year’s tournament. Tournament organizers said Shino Tsurubuchi “is a world class official and we are confident in her abilities.” Williams, who leads active women with 13 Grand Slam singles titles, withdrew last week from this year’s U.S. Open, which begins Monday. She said she is not completely recovered from July 15 surgery to repair cuts on her right foot. Tsurubuchi was working the baseline late in the 2009 U.S. Open semifinal between then-defending champion Williams and Kim Clijsters. Tsurubuchi called a foot fault on a second serve by Williams, resulting in a double-fault that moved Clijsters one point from her eventual victory. The ruling prompted a profanity-laced, racketbrandishing, finger-pointing tirade by Williams, who approached Tsurubuchi with what tournament director Jim Curley called at the time “a threatening manner.” Williams was fined $10,000 right away by the U.S. Tennis Association for unsportsmanlike conduct, the maximum onsite penalty a tennis player can face. About 21⁄2 months later, the American was fined an additional $82,500 — a record — by the Grand Slam administrator and told she would be suspended from the U.S. Open if she has another “major offense” at any Grand Slam tournament in 2010 or 2011. The USTA said it would not make Tsurubuchi available to the media.
among the leaders when he abruptly went to pit road for an extra fuel stop with five laps left in the race. He finished 16th. That’s an ideal scenario for Franchitti, who came into Saturday’s race trailing Power by 59 points in the standings. Dan Wheldon finished second, followed by Marco Andretti, Ryan HunterReay and Tony Kanaan. Danica Patrick finished 14th.
LITTLE LEAGUE WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., — It will be Japan against Hawaii today for the Little League World Series title. The boys from Waipahu, Hawaii, took control early in its 10-0 shutout Saturday of Pearland, Texas, with four runs in the first to claim the U.S. championship. Twelve-year-old Ezra Heleski struck out six and drove in two runs for the West region champs. The Waipahu league is trying to win its second Little League title in three years. Earlier Saturday, Japan had a dramatic 3-2 win in seven innings against Taiwan on Ryo Motegi’s RBI single with two outs to take the international crown. A team from Japan has advanced to the title game for the first time since 2007. They will try to end the United States’ five-year run as Little League champs.

NHL
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — U.S. Open top seed Caroline Wozniacki won her third consecutive Pilot Pen tennis title Saturday, beating Russian Nadia Petrova 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. The victory capped a good week for the 20-yearold Danish star, who won in Montreal on Monday. In the men’s draw, Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky won his second tournament of the year, beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Stakhovsky is unbeaten in four career ATP finals, including a win in Hertogenbosch this year. Wozniacki heads to New York with four wins this season, the most of any woman on tour.
NEW YORK — NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly says the New Jersey Devils have submitted a new contract to the league for Russian star Ilya Kovalchuk. The league has five days to approve or reject the deal, which media reports say amounts to $100 million over 15 years. A month ago, the NHL rejected a 17-year, $102 million contract for Kovalchuk, saying it violated the league salary cap. After the rejection, the NHL Players Association filed a grievance and the league’s decision was upheld by an arbiter. The 27-year-old Russian left wing has 338 goals and 304 assists in 642 career games. He had 41 goals and 44 assists last season. New Jersey traded him to Atlanta in February. • TORONTO — Forward Clarke MacArthur has signed a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. MacArthur had 16 goals and 19 assists last season between the Buffalo Sabres and Atlanta Thrashers.

Former Deac in violent collision
FroM 1B
Associated Press
SNYDER FroM 6B Snyder resigned in a twosentence statement 21 games into the 2005-06 season, although he still claims that he was fired. “Those are semantics in my mind. Technically, I resigned. In my mind, I was fired,” Snyder said. “Any time you’re asked to resign, it’s the same thing.” Snyder had a compensation package of over $1 million a year and went 126-91 with six postseason appearances. He passed on other marquee jobs because he loved his players and is proud of his team’s high graduation rate. “I felt like we were building something that was pretty special. That ended,” Snyder said. “It put me through some things that made me really ask myself tough questions about whether I wanted to coach.”
An academic All-American with Duke law and business degrees, Snyder considered all types of jobs during his yearlong sabbatical, like investment banking or entrepreneurial endeavors. He just couldn’t shake the coaching bug. David Kahn was a friend of Snyder since the early 1990s. Now the GM for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kahn owned the Austin Toros in 2007 and offered Snyder a second shot at coaching far from the spotlight of March Madness. He took over in a pinch after coach Dennis Johnson’s sudden death and led the Toros to the D-League finals in his first season. Snyder insists he never wanted to use the Toros as a steppingstone job and was content in the NBDL. The Toros were affiliated with the San Antonio Spurs, allowing Snyder a rare and welcomed opportunity to work with an NBA staff. He traveled with coach Gregg
Popovich and the Spurs during the postseason. He sat in on team meetings, participated in coach retreats, and stayed involved in San Antonio’s summer league and preseason games. “I had a great opportunity with people who were very supportive,” Snyder said. “I had the opportunity to work in the NBA. It was one that was pretty unique.” Snyder sidestepped a question about how much longer he was willing to coach in the developmental league. It’s not his worry anymore. He moved into a house with his wife and two dogs this week and joked that he is only looking for a good cheesesteak. Snyder, who successfully recruited 76ers forward Elton Brand at Duke, knows he can make a difference on a team that hasn’t won a playoff series since 2003. “There’s no fear of failure,” he said. “That’s empowering in my mind.”
The NFL notebook ... ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Cincinnati Bengals rookie cornerback Brandon Ghee has been carted off the field after a violent helmet-to-helmet collision with Buffalo Bills running back Chad Simpson. Ghee is the team’s thirdround draft pick out of Wake Forest. Ghee lay motionless for several minutes before being able to sit up along the Bills sideline after he was hurt six minutes into the third quarter of the preseason game. Though groggy, he took a few steps toward the cart before being driven off the field. The injury occurred when Ghee lowered his helmet in a bid to stop Simpson on a 2-yard run. Ghee dropped to the ground and lay there face-down as Bills trainers immediately attended to him. The Bengals announced that Ghee sustained a head injury and had movement in both his arms and legs. REDSKINS TRUCE WASHINGTON — For the Washington Redskins, the absolutely, positively best moment concerning their preseason win over the New York Jets came when Albert Haynesworth opened his mouth and didn’t say anything to stir up trouble. Haynesworth even cracked a joke after the 1611 victory Friday night, say-
ing he was heading to coach Mike Shanahan’s house for dinner and a cigar. “What I said last week is behind me,” Haynesworth said. “I don’t even remember what I said.” Haynesworth had used the first two exhibition games to express his displeasure with Shanahan, adding fuel to the tit-for-tat that has overshadowed the Redskins for months. It’s safe to say that coach and player aren’t anywhere close to being best friends, but at least there will be no new fires to put out when practice resumes today. PATRIOTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England’s defense
must get better if the Patriots want to stop Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco. A lot better. With one exhibition game left before their season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots have plenty to work on after Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams held the ball for long stretches, gained chunks of yardage and exploited weaknesses from the defensive line back to the secondary. 49ERS OAKLAND, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin ended his lengthy holdout Saturday by signing a $7.003 million franchise tag tender.

Twins add to stacked pen SEATTLE (AP) — The first-place Minnesota Twins made their revamped bullpen more versatile for the pennant race by acquiring left-handed reliever and four-time AllStar Brian Fuentes from the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he will use the former Angels closer as a set-up man for closer Matt Capps, and “probably as an occasional closer if I use the other guy too much.” Capps entered Friday with six saves in eight chances since Minnesota acquired him a trade with Washington. “It’s a positive whenever you can acquire a player of his caliber, a closer from another team, to help fill out your bullpen,” Gardenhire said. Minnesota lost closer Joe Nathan before the season.
Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Dan Johnson stunned the Boston Red Sox again, hitting a leadoff homer in the 10th inning that gave the Tampa Bay Rays a 3-2 victory Saturday night. Johnson sent a 2-2 pitch from Scott Atchison (2-2) into the right-field stands for his second clutch home run against the Red Sox in three years. Johnson is best known for a game-tying shot off closer Jonathan Papelbon on Sept. 9, 2008, that keyed an important comeback win en route to Tampa Bay’s only AL pennant. Athletics 5, Rangers 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Braden pitched a four-hitter for his second career shutout, Daric Barton homered and Oakland cut a game off Texas’ big lead in the AL West. Braden (9-9) had been 4-7 since his perfect game against Tampa Bay on May 9, but the left-hander was in command from the start of this one. He didn’t walk a batter and let only one runner reach third base. The Rangers were shut out for only the third time this season and first at Rangers Ballpark. They still hold an 81/2-game edge over the second-place A’s, largest among the six major league divisions. Yankees 12, White Sox 9 CHICAGO— CC Sabathia became the majors’ first 18-game winner, Marcus Thames hit two of New York’s four homers and the Yankees beat the White Sox. Eduardo Nunez hit his first career homer and drove in four runs for New York. Nick Swisher connected for a two-run drive and Robinson Cano had three hits. Sabathia (18-5) struck out nine in seven innings, but allowed five runs and nine hits. Indians 4, Royals 3, 10 innings CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera led off the 10th inning with a home run to give the Indians a win over Kansas City.

The long road back
NAIA school gets Henry Associated Press
The college basketball notebook ... BETHANY, Okla. — Guard C.J. Henry has transferred from Kansas to Southern Nazarene University in the NAIA. The Oklahoma City school announced that Henry was one of three players transferring in from Division I schools. Henry was the New York Yankees’ firstround pick in the 2005 draft but returned to playing basketball after three years and signed with Memphis. He redshirted one season there before transferring to Kansas, where he averaged 3.1 points in limited playing time alongside brother Xavier Henry. TICKET SCAM LEXINGTON, Ky. — One of the University of Kentucky’s all-time leading scorers in basketball has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his involvement in a ticket scam. Ed Davender pleaded guilty in May to taking money for Kentucky men’s basketball season tickets, but never producing them. Victims lost tens of thousands of dollars. ILLINOIS NORMAL, Ill. — Illinois basketball coach Bruce Weber isn’t quite predicting a Big Ten title, but he says his team could be “very, very good.” Weber says he’s seen his team picked as high as ninth in the country. Illinois finished 21-15 last season and wound up in the NIT. Weber says both Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis should be stronger players this season. And Weber says 6-8 freshman Jereme Richmond could be very good. Illinois opens its season Nov. 8 against UC-Irvine.

PHILADELPHIA — Quin Snyder was in a basketball nowhere land. He rode the bus on those three-movie road trips on the NBDL circuit where everyone in a uniform believed they were one big break away from a look at the big time. He was several years and 800 miles removed from his days as the next bona fide coaching wonderboy at Missouri. Stripped of all the first-class amenities of a major D-I program, Snyder says he was happy in the minors. “Pure basketball,” Snyder said. No recruiting trips, no late-night phone calls that a star player was in trouble. There was scant media attention, no announcers delivering bad news, and definitely no NCAA investigation into every nook of the organization. “Everybody wants to get out of there,” Snyder said. “But unless you can be there body, mind and spirit, it’s tough to get out.” Snyder is out and back on a national stage. The coach who led the Tigers on a trip to the final eight before a precipitous fall knocked him out of the game, then into Austin, Texas, was hired this summer by the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s part of a revamped coaching staff led by Doug Collins trying to mold a young nucleus into a playoff contender. If his path toward the NBA was long and winding, Snyder’s actual hire was like a breakneck bucket off the fastbreak. “He said, ’Hey Q, do you want to come?”’ Snyder said, laughing, of Collins’ pitch. “I know him and I trust him. He said, ’Be a coach.’ I think I’ve got a pretty good idea what that means. If I’m screwing up, I’ll get it right.” He gets his shot at the NBA because of a longstanding friendship with the Collins family. Snyder and Chris Collins, Doug’s son, became close at Duke. Snyder was an assistant under Mike Krzyzewski and Collins a 3-point shooting guard. At the time, Doug Collins enjoyed talking basketball and player development with Snyder on frequent trips to watch games in Durham, N.C. When Snyder was hired at only 32 to re-
USA routs Croatia piece. He scored five straight points to kick off the decisive burst early in the second quarter and added eight rebounds in just 21 minutes. All 12 players scored for the Americans, as coach Mike Krzyzewski was able to give his starters plenty of rest with the U.S. playing its three toughest Group B games in the first three days. Though USA Basketball officials hoped to have a LeBron James or Kobe Bryant — whose picture hangs in a large poster just inside the entrance — they couldn’t have asked for much more than what they saw from the replacements. And it’s this group, which has been called the “B” team that can earn an automatic berth into the 2012 Olympics by winning the worlds. As the Americans took the court for warmups, the overhead scoreboard was playing clips of recent U.S. failures at the worlds from 2002 and 2006. They haven’t won the event since 1994. But even without its biggest names, this U.S. team might be good enough if it plays the way it did in the second quarter. “We like that type of adversity,” Gordon said. “People think we’re too young or too small, but I think we’re playing well as a team and we play much faster when we’re smaller, and we’re just an overall good team.”

ISTANBUL — For weeks, U.S. players 106 have been USA 78 h e a r i n g Croatia about what they aren’t. Not big enough. Not old enough. And maybe even not good enough. On Saturday, they finally got to show what they believe they can be: the team that ends a 16-year world championship drought. Kevin Durant scored 14 points and got the United States started on a dominant second-quarter stretch in a 106-78 victory over Croatia in its opening game of the tournament. “People aren’t expecting us to come out here and win, so we just wanted to make a statement and I think tonight we did,” Durant said. Eric Gordon made four 3pointers and had 16 points to lead the Americans, who turned a close game into a blowout by limiting the Croatians to six points in the second quarter. Chauncey Billups finished with 12 points. It was an impressive start for a U.S. team that came to Turkey without any players who helped them win the gold medal in the 2008 Olympics. Instead of those superstars, the Americans are left with a young, undersized team that features Durant, the NBA’s leading scorer, as its center-

Quin snyder was the coach at Missouri before scandals forced him out. place Tigers legend Norm Stewart at Missouri, Doug Collins was invited to practice and offered advice and input. When Snyder went through a messy divorce with the school, it was Collins who offered moral support and a place to crash. Collins and his wife invited Snyder to spend some time with the family in Phoenix. “That was a very important time for me and I’ll always be grateful to him for that,” Snyder said. Collins called it the right thing to do for a friend getting ripped in the national spotlight. “Quin is like a son to me,” Collins said. “My wife and I, we sort of put our arms around him. We love Quin.” Snyder’s career had imploded only four years after his NCAA tournament success. His program was plagued by off-the-court problems that began with the 2003 arrest of point guard Ricky Clemons on domestic assault charges. Clemons subsequently accused a Tigers assistant coach of paying him cash, charges that an NCAA investigation failed to substantiate. The NCAA did identify 42 violations, from improper meal purchases for amateur coaches to improper contact with recruits by Snyder and two assistants. Missouri was placed on three years of probation, lost three scholarships and was barred from off-campus recruiting for one year. His defense wasn’t helped by the only thing worse than NCAA sanctions: losing. Snyder was 42-42 and missed the NCAA tournament his final two-plus seasons.

years. The pair of professional chefs, who have owned multiple restaurants throughout the state, recently opened up their latest venture, El Patron Mexican Grill and Cantina, 130 Freeland Drive. “Teamwork is important for everybody here,” Moreles said. “If we work together we’ll have good service and good food, and that means we’ll always have good business.” The eatery, nestled inside the Salisbury Shopping Center, across from Walmart, is outfitted in traditional Mexican decor, creating a festive dining atmosphere. Moreles and Ruiz wanted to bring their flair for authentic Mexican flavors to Salisbury by using fresh ingredients to make signature dishes like chile a la mexicana, which features ranchero style chunks of grilled chicken or steak cooked with ranchero sauce. Favorites such as chimichangas, tacos, burritos and quesadillas are also on the menu. “We are going to try to change the menu every three to six months,” Moreles said. “We don’t want to bore our customers with the same food all the time.” Each meal begins with free tortilla chips and salsa. Patrons can add a variety of cheese dips or guacamole, which is made fresh at the table. To wash everything down, Moreles recommends a margarita. “We make very fresh, authentic margaritas,” he said. “We think we have the best ones.

Look at other options before going for reverse mortgage BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Feature Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: I just checked on a reverse mortgage. I am 63 years old, own my home and have no immediate family. My home is worth about $137,000. I have an outstanding home-equity loan for $10,500. The bank appraised my home at $125,000, because I have the outstanding equity loan. The interest rate is currently 5.49 percent with a mortgage insurance rate of 0.5 percent for a total of 5.99 percent. The loan officer stated that my lifetime cap on interest would be 5.49 percent. The bank quoted my available principal limit as $71,125, minus mortgages insurance $2,500 and other closing costs of $2,542. This leaves my net principal limit at $66,083 less than my equity loan of $10,500 for a total of a lump sum cash of $55,583.
Smart money I would also have to pay $380 up front to begin the reverse-mortgage process. Do you feel a reverse mortgage would be in my best interest? I would receive about $55,200 in cash if I decide to pursue this further. — Joe
not advisable for someone under 70, and the older you are the better, because the diminished life expectancy increases how much you can borrow. Reverse mortgages are more expensive than other forms of borrowing.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that the Port of Los Angeles can regulate trucks that haul goods in and out of its property to reduce air pollution around the country’s busiest port complex. U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder ruled Thursday that the port’s Clean Trucks Program can require big rigs entering the port to comply with strict diesel emissions standards and eliminate owner-operator drivers. The American Trucking Associations sued in 2008, arguing that the ports cannot require companies to hire drivers as direct employees because it would stop independent owner-operators from working the harbor. The trucking industry group said it supported the port’s clean air goals, but the employee mandate would violate a federal law that prohibits states and local entities from regulating interstate trucking prices, routes and services. The port’s attorneys argued that federal law allows regulations that directly influence safety and security at the port. While Snyder ruled that some parts of the program were pre-empted by the federal government and not all the rules had to do with safety, she found the port should be able to take steps to regulate air pollution to stay competitive in the marketplace. She wrote that the port is a “market participant,� which allows it to take action to maintain its commercial operations, “as any private landlord or facilities operator would.� Air pollution has “interfered with Port growth and has jeopardized the Port’s continued viability as a commercial enterprise,� she wrote. The ATA also argued that the employee mandate would allow unions to organize drivers at the port, and that unionization will lead to reduced competition and increased transportation costs. The port’s executive director, Geraldine Knatz, said she was pleased with the decision, which will help “provide a more safe and secure trucking system in the long term.� “It’s a victory of national significance because it means port across the country are free to enact programs like LA’s without question,� said National Resources Defense Council attorney David Pettit, who argued in favor of the program at trial. The Port of Long Beach had agreed as part of a settlement to remove the employee mandate in its version of the Clean Trucks Program.

Existing bonds will be further tightened in the year ahead, with one person in particular whom you cherish. It will mean a lot to you to know this individual will always be there for you, as you will for him/her. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When it comes to making a critical decision of some kind, look beyond your immediate concerns, and focus on the issue. The right answer might be easier to find than you think. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Turn directly to the key person who can make happen what you need done. If you attempt to go through intermediates, chances are it will take a lot more time or may never happen. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There is nothing you can do that would be more enjoyable than making plans to share some quality time with a friend of long standing whose company you cherish. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’re in a particularly strong achievement cycle that could yield something big, so don’t waste this precious period pursuing trivial goals. Go after something that is truly meaningful. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you possess athletic talent and enjoy pursuits of this kind, it could turn out to be an especially fortuitous time for you regarding matters of a competitive nature. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This could be an especially good time to democratically discuss making some major changes you’ve been considering, with your family or those whose lives your plans might touch. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Even if your thinking on the way a current problem should be handled is sound, nothing will come of it if you don’t do anything about it. Take action and resolve the situation. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Finding the exact item you want at a good price should come a lot easier. If you don’t have any other pressing plans, get out and hit the stores that might carry what you’re looking for. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — One of your better talents is being able to manage delicate situations without annoying anybody else in the process. This asset will prove to be invaluable in a couple of forthcoming situations. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you’ve been eager to get certain people over to your place, this might be the perfect day to do so. It doesn’t matter if the reason is to fulfill a social obligation or to discuss a business matter. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — This should be an excellent day for lifting your spirits, simply by mingling with good friends and/or family. There is nothing more satisfying that spending time with those who care. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll fare better in whatever your involvement might be if you deal directly with the person who can make what you need happen. You might even get an immediate approval or commitment right on the spot. UnITed FeATUre SyndICATe InC.

the cocaine or whether any marijuana was confiscated. Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession. If convicted of the lowgrade felony, she would get probation, but any violation of that probation would be punishable by up to one to four years in Nevada state prison. Waits, 34, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to a year in county jail. Police said he owned the 2009 Cadillac. Hilton and Waits were
booked into the Clark County jail, where Sheahan said Hilton was kept handcuffed on a booking room bench, fingerprinted, photographed and released without bail about 2:45 a.m. Saturday. Waits’ lawyer, Richard Schonfeld, said Waits posted $2,000 bail Saturday. Waits was released Saturday afternoon. Sheahan said Hilton was not taken to a cell and received no special treatment on a busy Friday night and Saturday morning at the jail. He said release without bail was common in such cases.
Hilton, a prolific tweeter, didn’t mention the arrest on her Twitter site, although less than an hour after she was released her account was updated with a posting that said the actress was in bed watching the television show “Family Guy.” It was unclear if the tweets came from her, were posted by time-release or were sent by someone else. Hilton’s attorney, David Chesnoff, told the Associated Press on Saturday morning that he was still gathering facts about the arrest. “This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law,” Chesnoff said later in a statement. “There will be no interviews and no more comments at this time.” Schonfeld said he was “troubled by the circumstances” leading to the arrest, but declined to specify his concerns. “As the case proceeds, a lot of facts are going to come to light that will ultimately lead to exoneration,” Schonfeld said. Court dates for Hilton and Waits were not immediately available. Clark County District Attorney David Roger declined to comment Saturday about the case. A spokeswoman for Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Waits and his twin brother, Jesse, are managing partners of the Tryst Nightclub inside
Wynn Las Vegas, Drai’s after hours club at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon and XS The Nightclub at Wynn’s Encore resort. A spokeswoman for Harrah’s resorts declined immediate comment. Earlier this week, Hilton was in the news when a 31year-old man allegedly tried to break into her Los Angeles home. Authorities have said that someone carrying two big knives banged on Hilton’s window Tuesday. She posted a photo of the arrest on Twitter and described it as “scary.” Nathan Lee Parada faces a felony burglary charge. Hilton was arrested this summer after the BrazilNetherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing. Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told CNN host Larry King that the experience caused her to
re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.” While most famous for her tabloid exploits and reality TV series “The Simple Life,” Hilton has appeared in the films “Bottoms Up,” “The Hottie & the Nottie” and “House of Wax.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Smoke wafting from a Cadillac Escalade on the Las Vegas Strip ignited Paris Hilton’s latest legal troubles late Friday, when a motorcycle officer who suspected the smell was marijuana stopped the vehicle and police say a bag of cocaine fell out of the 29-year-old socialite’s purse. It’s the second time this year Hilton has been arrested on drug possession allegations, although authorities in South Africa dropped marijuana charges earlier this summer. In 2007, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. This time, the hotel heiress was with her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, who manages a club inside the Wynn Las Vegas and was driving the black SUV that the officer stopped nearby at 11:22 p.m. Friday. The officer “followed the vapor trail and the odor of marijuana to the Escalade,” police Sgt. John Sheahan said. As other police arrived and a crowd gathered on the busy neon-lit Strip, Hilton asked to go into the Wynn resort for privacy, Sheahan said. “Miss Hilton pulled out a tube of lip balm,” Sheahan said. “At the same time ... a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out of her purse” in plain view of police in the room. Police Officer Marcus Martin characterized the cocaine as a “small amount,” or a package of the size usually associated with personal use. Police would not specify the weight of

Who was Henry Clay Grubb? Man behind Salisbury landmark had a tumultuous history he Plaza building at the corner of North Main and West Innes Streets has been a Salisbury landmark for more than 100 years. This beautiful building was designed by Frank Milburn and was the tallest steel beam building in the state when it was completed in 1914. For years, it was called the Wallace Building, and was the premier office location for prominent businessmen, doctors and lawyers. If you look above the main entrance on West Innes KAREN C. Street, you will LILLY-BOWYER see the initials of the man who built a “seven story building in a threestory town.” Henry Clay Grubb had a vision that became the Salisbury “skyscraper.” Mr. Grubb was a resident of

Davidson County and listed his occupation as farmer on census records. In Salisbury, he was a businessman with an infamous reputation. He owned a large liquor distillery, and seemed to enjoy outwitting the tax revenue officer. The social elite of Salisbury considered him “backwoods” because of his miscreant ways. Mr. Grubb was an atypical businessman and a prime example of the fortunes that could be made from the “whiskey business.” Henry had more than his share of disagreement with the law for petty fights and disorderly conduct. He made headlines in 1905, when he was tried for the murder of Obe Davis, his brother in law. Both men were well known for their short tempers. On May 9, 1905, Obe was waiting for Henry in the parking lot of a small Davidson County church. A witness at the trial stated that Obe climbed down from his wagon and walked toward Grubb. Three shots were fired from Henry’s gun. When the sheriff arrived, Henry said it was selfdefense. According to Henry, Obe
had threatened him numerous times and had hired men to kill him. When the sheriff examined Obe’s body, a gun was found in his pocket. Henry’s lawyers had the trial moved to Salisbury to avoid a biased Davidson County jury. The prosecution’s arguments concentrated on Henry’s reputation and past squabbles. The district Henry Grubb, as he attorney appeared in a 1905 made sure sketch. the jury was aware of Henry’s ruthless temper, but during cross-examination, Henry was cool and calm. He always had an explanation for his actions and his answers were often humorous. The paper reported that Mr. Grubb
was “very pleasant, amiable, and gentle.” Lee Overman, Kluttz, Watson and Raper were listed as Grubb’s lawyers. During the trial’s summation, the prosecutor dressed a dummy in the clothes Obe was wearing at the time of his death. The district attorney showed the jury the bullet holes.

Life after Katrina: Three stories of survival When Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed New Orleans five years ago, hundreds of thousands of lives were changed forever, in myriad
ways. Hundreds died, but even among survivors, many lost all that was familiar. And recovery is a process that goes on day by day.
Here are three stories of survival, by writers who tracked down individuals they first met in Katrina’s chaotic wake.
The Thomas family: From flood to desert BY PAULINE ARRILLAGA Associated Press

Back then, of course, they had never lived anywhere but Louisiana. Now cactus plants abound, and Mom knows how to make the traditional Mexican dish menudo. And that dry heat helped salvage the Disney movies retrieved from a flooded-out house in New Orleans, the place Lois Thomas still can’t help calling “home.” They arrived in Arizona a week after Hurricane Katrina struck, one family among

the thousands of evacuees flung across the country in search of sanctuary. Thomas was 36 years old, with six children and her longtime boyfriend, Doyle Smith, by her side, and her mind revving with questions. Where would they live and work? When, if ever, would they go back home? What might they find when they did? Blank pages of a life story that suddenly had to be rewritten. Five years later, the family’s story has new chapters — marked by more loss but also many achievements, by tough times but also the generosity of strangers. “Katrina?” says Thomas. “I try to leave it in the recesses of my mind. Way back there.”
That didn’t seem possible on Aug. 29, 2005, when the storm made its way into New Orleans. They survived by taking refuge in the attic of their four-bedroom brick house: Thomas, Smith and all six children, huddled together: Kayleigh, 15; Kourtney, 13; Larry, 12; Annalyce, 6; Andrew, 5; and 3-year-old Angela. After 11 hours, Smith heard a boat outside and used a hammer to break through the roof. They eventually made their way to an evacuation staging area and boarded a government plane out of town — to where they didn’t know until the pilot announced: “The beautiful sun city of Phoenix, Ariz.” Their first accommodations were cots at Veterans
Memorial Coliseum near downtown — and that’s where good fortune found them. Jeff and Marie Whiting, a couple in Goodyear, Ariz., had a second home they had decided to offer, rent-free, to Katrina survivors. A volunteer at the coliseum saw their Internet posting and, within days, Thomas, Smith and the kids had moved into the five-bedroom home neighbors decorated and stocked. They became the minicelebrities of the neighborhood, with folks coming over almost daily to introduce themselves and offer help. Neighbors threw birthday parties for the children.

The lawyer: I won’t leave again BY SHARON COHEN Associated Press
hat Rick Teissier remembers most about those early months after Hurricane Katrina was the scene in his neighborhood pharmacy: a long line of people with hollow stares and weary faces, all looking for relief. Some, he says, were waiting for Xanax. Or Zoloft. Or Paxil. Or other drugs that would ease the anxiety and shell shock of living in a city still reeling from disaster. Everyone had prescriptions, Teissier included. “Damned right, I did,” he says. Five years later, Rick Teissier, lawyer, agitator, passionate booster of all things New Orleans, has rebounded from those stressful days but it was a circuitous journey. He left his beloved city for California, then returned. He gave up his practice, then came back and started over. He sold his house in Uptown, then bought another in the same neighborhood. He vows he’ll never, ever leave again. “I’m going to stay ... true New Orleanians are the ones

Later, his wife and young daughter temporarily relocated to Destin, Fla. He commuted there regularly, while working sporadically as a criminal defense lawyer amid the ruins of New Orleans. Katrina had crippled the
legal system, flooding the state courthouse, destroying files and contaminating evidence. Teissier also accepted appointment as a special master to get the city’s indigent defense program back on track. It wasn’t his first exposure to legal chaos. A decade earlier, as a public defender, he had sued his own office, arguing he had too many clients and not enough resources — and the state Supreme Court agreed. But a year after Katrina, he and his wife, Nissa, decided New Orleans was no place to raise a family. With a baby daughter and another child on the way, he says, “You knew this was going to be a very long battle and wear on you a great deal. You didn’t think things were EVER going to get back to normal.” Even so, driving out of town on Interstate 10, he recalls, was like “leaving a lover you still loved.” Teissier recalls a judge who is an old friend warning him he’d be miserable anyplace else and offering a prediction. “He said, ‘You’re from here.

GREENWAY
Rowan on different path he Carolina Thread Trail is making progress toward linking greenway segments through 15 counties in North Carolina and South Carolina. Rowan County could be part of that network, but county residents have been wary. Would they be forced to let the trail cross their property? Are trails prone to crime? Does anyone even use them? The issue has not come before the Rowan County Board of Commissioners in several months, but last week’s announcement about an addition to Salisbury’s greenway stirred reaction on the Post’s website. Readers revived the debate that came up in March. At the time, the county commissioners staked out their opposition to taking residents’ property through eminent domain for trails, greenways or for use in economic development initiatives. Rowan residents appear to be safe from eminent domain where the Thread Trail is concerned. No one has proposed or used eminent domain for the trail, and commissioners rejected a resolution of support for it last year. They don’t want it. Several of our neighboring counties see things differently. Some 644 miles of trail have been planned in seven counties that have adopted master plans — Cabarrus, Chester, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg and York. Three more counties are in the planning stages — Stanly, Catawba and Iredell. As Iredell held community meetings this summer to discuss the trail, people in Statesville talked about becoming known as a city of healthy living. Some expressed hope the trail would encourage young people to get out of the house and explore the outdoors. Others have likened the trail to a “green interstate system.” They envision people walking, biking and exploring nature. What about crime on greenways? Locally, the only experience we have to go on is the greenway in Salisbury. Police Chief Rorie Collins says no crimes have been reported over the past year directly on or in the immediate area around the city’s greenway, which includes sections near Overton Elementary, Forest Hills, Memorial Park, Kelsey Scott Park and Brenner Avenue. Going back further in time, he says, city police have dealt with “only a few ‘minor’ incidents,” all of which involved vandalism. As for use, the city doesn’t count the people who use the greenway, but Gail Elder White of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department says it gets constant use. Those signs all say “go” to city leaders, and Salisbury is to be commended for snagging $500,000 in stimulus funds to extend the greenway. We’re all going to pay for the federal stimulus packages; taxpayers here should get some benefit from them. As for the county, well, it’s pointless to put greenways where people don’t want them. When commissioners rejected the resolution supporting participation in the Thread Trail, they said liability risks and maintenance costs outweighed possible benefits. Rowan is, after all, a poor county. Unless the board changes, that’s it for the project here. Like much of the progress that takes place in this region, the Carolina Thread Trail will have to pass Rowan County by.

“God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.” — Martin Luther
SALISBURY POST
hildren across the county returned to school last week, and it’s time you heard from Rose Post. Rose kicked off each school year by writing a column in the Post that was directed at teachers as they welcomed students to school — especially the little ones. Long after her own children were grown, Rose still felt in her heart the powELIZABETH erful mix of emotions every COOK parent goes through when first sending a little one off to school. Rose wrote for the Post for more than half a century but, as she always explained, the bulk of this particular column is not her work. It’s a reprint. But Rose recognized the aptness of the piece. And she wrote a new introduction each year, often mentioning children she knew — grandchildren, coworkers’ children and others — who were entering school. Last year, daughter Phyllis Post wrote that introduction because Rose could not. Rose retired in 2007, and since then Alzheimer’s disease has stolen her away — a cruel, painful loss. Rose can no longer write, and speaking has become very difficult. But we have a treasure trove of her words in Post archives. • • • As the Post’s education reporter for many years, Rose wrote countless stories about the beginning of the school year — the who, what, when and where of it all.
But she said there was more to a new school year than that. “I always knew,” she wrote, “the real story was about your child, my child, all the little ones who were just beginning, going off to school for the first time, one at a time. And I always wanted to tell the teacher ... “Then one day I discovered that a principal in Franklin, Ind., whose name I didn’t know, had already told the teacher exactly what I wanted to say, so I let him say it again for us.” • • • Here’s what the principal wrote: My son starts to school this week. It’s all going to be strange and new to him for awhile, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently. Up to now he’s been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to repair his wounds, and I’ve always been handy to sooth his feelings. But now ... Things are going to be different. This morning he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hands and start on his great adventure that probably will include wars and tragedy and sorrow. To live his life in the world will require faith and love and courage. So, teacher, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him, but gently if you can. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, that all men are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel, there is a hero. For every crooked politician, there
is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick. Teach him the wonders of books. Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill. Teach him about the world of work. Teach him that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is getting on the bandwagon. Teach him to listen to all men, but to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and to take only the truth that comes through. Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears in a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right. Teach him gently, but don’t cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, teacher, but see what you can do. He’s such a nice little fellow, my son. • • • Rose and Eddie Post were blessed with five children and maintained a close-knit family. Son Sam Post wrote a blog entry recently he called “A mother without words,” in which talks about sharing his birthday with his mother through the years. This birthday was different. “... I think this was the first
birthday of my life that didn’t include an enthusiastic commentary from my mother about the virtue of my existence. I always found this talk rather uncomfortable, tuned out most of it, and now remember few of the details — although I remember the gist of the message quite well. “This year, I knelt in front of her, looked up, and said, loudly, “Hi Mom! Today’s my birthday!” “ ‘I forgot,’ she said. “My mother had been quite a talker. “I’ve spent much of my life waiting for her to finish talking so that I could move on to matters more important to me. “How many times did she tell me to get a master’s degree? Hundreds. I never did. How many times did she tell me to get a job? Many. (Even though I’ve always had a job; one job was never enough for her). How many times did she tell me to stop chewing my shirt? So many. (It’s a habit. I’m chewing it now, as I type). “How many times did she help me with my writing — offering insight and critique that only she could provide? Every time I asked. “How many stories did she tell? That would be like counting the leaves on a tree. “Alas, those are only memories now. She was a person who did not withhold her opinion. If she thought she knew better, she said so. Now, by not speaking, she’s teaching a different kind of lesson — probably the most valuable of them all.” We miss you, Rose. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

What we did during your summer vacation he new school year has begun for the Rowan-Salisbury School System! I am not sure where the summer went — maybe it evaporated in the heat. As I began to decide on a theme for this year’s news articles, I thought about the numerous questions that I am continually asked concerning various aspects of the school system. So this year my articles will address a number of those quesJUDY tions that are GRISSOM most frequently asked. The question that always arises about this time of year and during the summer is “What do the 12 month school system employees do during the summer?” For 12-month school system employees, the summer is just as busy as the school year with closing out one year and preparing for the next year. This summer, two new principals were hired and all principals and department chairs received their annual evaluation session. I, along with several central office staff, met individually with all the principals, except for the two new princi-
T
pals, to analyze their test data and discuss plans for the coming year. All administrators completed a 10-week online book study called “Toy Box Leadership.” The school year will begin with a new system website and master calendar of all events planned for the year. Here are a few more of the activities that have taken place this summer. • Finance Department — closing out financial budgets and setting up new budgets for the coming year on local, state and federal allotments; preparing for and working with the auditors; moving financial information to on-line and digital platforms, such as paychecks. • Personnel Department — processing new hires, including verifying qualifications for the positions, criminal background checks, physicals, drug and TB tests, etc. and processing to payroll and insurance; completing numerous state reports; processing teaching licenses for employees; identifying budget codes for every school system employee; planning and conducting New Teacher Orientation and the New Teacher Breakfast, and planning and conducting training on the New North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Instrument for all school system administrators.
• Student Summer Programs — intervention summer program for North Middle and North High students; summer school program at Salisbury High; summer math and science academy at Salisbury High; summer Ag camp at West Rowan; Lego and various science camps at Horizons; summer program for students from Isenberg, Dole, and North Elementary; Biotechnology Academy for 8th and 9th graders. • Professional Development — Math Partnership Training for elementary and middle school math teachers; Reading Foundations Training for elementary and middle school principals and teachers, ActiveBoard Training for teachers and directors; 21st Century Model Classroom Teachers’ Training; Training for various school staffs on the iPod Touch; Problem Based Learning for elementary and middle school AIG staff; Family Life Curriculum training for health teachers; Bullying Training for LINKS staff; development and training of the new “Words At Work” vocabulary program for middle and high school teachers. • Other Curriculum Activities — updating all of the curriculum guides and pacing guides; upgrading and replacing technology tools through-
out the system; writing state and federal grants; conducting district improvement meetings to identify accomplishments for last year and begin developing the system’s new two year Strategic Plan. Administrative Department — processing transcript requests and assisting new enrollments; appeal hearings; imaging of all past transcripts; updating crisis plans; updating the Code of Conduct. Facilities and Maintenance — replacing lighting in 7 gyms with new energy efficient florescent fixtures; installing digital direct controls for HVAC in several schools; completing the camera security systems at 3 schools; cleaning and refinishing floors throughout the system; replacing doors in some schools; installing ceiling fans in some schools and other preventive maintenance efforts. This list is certainly not inclusive and is only a small portion of the many activities that took place during the summer. As most people were thinking of beaches, lazy mornings, and relaxation, our 12-month employees were busy planning for the opening of a brand new school year! • • • Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

• Violent Muslims often get free pass from media ow! The Washington Post has identified “rabble-rousing outsiders!” I haven’t heard language like that since Southern segregationists complained about civil rights activists descending on Mississippi. So who are these interlopers stirring up the unwashed masses? It’s anyone who dares criticize plans for an Islamic center near Ground Zero in Manhattan. According to reporter Jason Horowitz, New Yorkers take a “dim view” of them. Horowitz informs us that the planned Islamic center has CLIFFORD become “the prime target of national D. MAY conservatives who, after years of disparaging New York as a hotbed of liberal activity, are defending New York against a mosque that will rise two city blocks from Ground Zero.” The hypocrisy! Have they no shame? Horowitz interviews Ali Mohammed who sells “falafel over rice” in the besieged neighborhood. Opponents of the project, he says, “got nothing to do with New York and they don’t care about New York.” Horowitz also interviews Oz Sultan, a spokesman for the project, who sings from the same hymnal: “The people behind this (Islamic center) are New Yorkers. These are local yokels.” How does that square with Sultan’s refusal to rule out the possibility that funds for this $100 million project may be raised in Saudi Arabia and Iran? Horowitz does not even ask. A Washington Post interview with Daisy Khan, the wife of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, key organizer of the project, is headlined: “When Will Muslims Be Accepted?” The veteran journalist Sally Quinn asks Khan nothing about the project’s funding, nothing about the Imam’s past statements regarding 9/11 (American policies were an “accessory”), Osama bin Laden (”made in America”), Hamas (the Imam would prefer not to characterize the group), terrorism (”complex”).

People participate in a recent rally against a proposed mosque and Islamic community center near Ground Zero in New York. asserts that “many opponents” of the Islamic center “are motivated by deep-seated Islamophobia.” The evidence? A poll that finds 46 percent of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other faiths to encourage violence against nonbelievers. Why would anyone think that? Could it have something to do with the fact that there have been thousands of terrorist attacks carried out in the name of Islam since 9/11/01? Just last month, Time had on its cover the photograph of an 18-year-old Afghan girl whose nose and ears were sliced off by members of the Taliban because she had violated Islamic religious law by “running away from her husband’s house.” The word “Taliban” means “the students.” Of what? Of Islam. Let’s say it one more time loudly for the media moguls in the cheap seats: Most Muslims are not terrorists. But in the 21st century, most of those slaughtering women and children in the name of religion are Muslims. This is a problem. It ought to be seen by Muslims as
very much their problem — a pathology within their community, within the “Muslim world.” Instead, the most powerful Islamic organizations — often financed by oil money from the Middle East — incessantly play the victim card. Khan tells ABC’s Christiane Amanpour that in America, it’s “beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims.” Time encourages this grievance mentality by asserting that “to be a Muslim in America now is to endure slings and arrows against your faith ... some of the country’s most powerful mainstream religious and political leaders unthinkingly (or worse, deliberately) conflate Islam with terrorism and savagery.” No, what they conflate with terrorism and savagery are al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, Lashkar-e-Taiba, al-Shabaab, Abu Sayyef, Fatah Al-Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and dozens of other groups that justify their terrorism and savagery based on their interpretation of Islamic doctrine. Many religious and political lead-
ers would like to hear more of their Muslim neighbors say plainly: “Not in my name! Not in the name of my religion!” They are distressed when they learn — not through the mainstream media — that Rauf has said instead: “The United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda.” He said that when he was still answering questions. In recent weeks, he has been “unavailable.” Time does not criticize him as they would any non-Muslim who declined comment for a cover story. Instead, Time excuses him, saying he seems to have been “stunned into paralysis” by the unfairness of it all. Is this moral posturing or selfdelusion or just more multicultural media mush? Whatever the cause, it is madness. No wonder the rabble is becoming roused — with our without the help of those pesky outsiders. • • • Clifford D. May is president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a policy institute focusing on terrorism and Islamism.
President Bush had it right on Islam after 9/11 ust days after the Twin Towers were destroyed in 2001, President George W. Bush set the tone that ought to govern U.S. attitudes in the New York mosque controversy today. While visiting the Islamic Center of Washington, he declared that “the face of terror is not the true face of Islam. ... Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.” He went on to say that American Muslims “need to be treated with reMORTON KONDRACKE spect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.” Why Bush won’t speak up now on behalf of the Muslim community center at the center of the New York controversy, I don’t know. But what he said then — even as he was launching a war against the Taliban and al-Qaida — ought to guide attitudes and policy today. Our war is with radical Islamists who use terror and preach violent jihad — not with the religion of Islam. It seems a distinction so simple and obvious that everyone ought to get it — especially someone as smart as former speaker (and apparent presidential aspirant) Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. “Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington,” he said, and “we would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There is no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.” For all his erudition, Dr. Gingrich (Ph.D., Tulane University) does have a tendency to pop off demagogically when the opportunity arises — as in calling Supreme Court nominee (now Justice) Sonia Sotomayor a Latina “racist,” a remark he later withdrew. In a lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, Gingrich himself said, “I believe it is very important to draw a distinction between radical jihadists, which I define as those who want to impose Shariah (strict Islamic law), and those Mus-

lims who seek to practice their religion within a framework of the modern world.” There is little evidence that the imam sponsoring the 13-story center two blocks from Ground Zero, Feisal Abdul Rauf, is a radical or jihadist, or that locating the mosque there is — as Gingrich charged — “an act of triumphalism.” In his book, “What’s Right With Islam Is What’s Right With America,” Rauf specifically declared that “killing innocent people is always wrong — and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right.” Rauf has been judged by both the Bush and Obama administrations to be a voice of moderate, nonviolent Islam and has been sent on State Department missions overseas. Critics seeking to make Rauf out to be a radical cite his 2001 remark on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that “United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense,
Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.” But lots of U.S. conservatives, too, think that the U.S. erred in supporting Islamists battling the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then leaving the country to be taken over by the Taliban and al-Qaida. And if Rauf opposes U.S. policies in the Middle East — especially our support for Israel — that’s a political matter Americans strongly disagree with (as do I), but it does not make him an extremist. Gingrich and other opponents cite the name of the project — Cordoba Initiative — as evidence that Rauf wants to foster worldwide Muslim supremacy such as what once existed in Spain. But Rauf’s website declares that “the name Cordoba was chosen carefully to reflect a period of time during which Islam played a monumental role in the enrichment of human civilization and knowledge. ”A thousand years ago Muslims, Jews and Christians co-existed and
created a prosperous center of intellectual, spiritual, cultural and commercial life in Cordoba, Spain.“ The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, declares Islam to be ”a religion of war“ because Muslims once conquered much of Europe. It’s fair to remember, however, that the same year — 1492 — that Christians reconquered Spain, they expelled the entire Jewish population of the country, too. Muslims have no monopoly on violence. Not all opponents of the Ground Zero mosque are motivated by anti-Islamic prejudice, to be sure. But relatives of 9/11 victims who object still are confusing Islam with terrorism. They’d like the mosque to move somewhere else — but how far away from Ground Zero is acceptable? If two blocks is too close, would four be better? Logically, if the mosque is meant as an exercise in ”triumphalism,“ it ought not be allowed in New York City at all. The fact is that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg had it exactly right when he said, ”Let us not forget that Muslims were among those murdered on 9/11 and that our Muslim neighbors grieved with us as New Yorkers and Americans. “We would betray our values — and play into our enemies’ hands — if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave in to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists — and we should not stand for that.” And President Barack Obama had it right (the first time) when he said that America’s bedrock dedication to religious freedom “includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan.” It’s a shame that Republican howls caused him to backtrack on the statement. And it’s a shame so many Republicans have forgotten the distinction between Islam and extremism so clearly delineated by Bush. • • • Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.
I support Salisbury Police Officer Mark Hunter, a dedicated law enforcement officer. He knows bad people are out to get our children through drugs, and they don’t value lives. To Officer Hunter’s protesters: It doesn’t matter who you are, black or white. If you do right, there won’t be a problem. Protesters, next time let the police do their jobs and stay out of the way. Officer Hunter is totally serious about protecting us from crime and does not “play around” with whatever it takes to do that. If you listen to him speak for five minutes, you notice that passion and commitment. Those protesting against him and being disrespectful toward authority are missing the purpose of Dr. Martin Luther King’s work. We should use our energy and opportunities available to better ourselves instead of wasting time by falsely accusing the police department of racism. I recently visited the Lorraine Motel in Memphis where Dr. King was assassinated. People who wear their “pants on the ground” are judged by your slack appearance. Those that drop out of school, uselessly linger on street corners or deal drugs are all putting more bullets in the cheek of Dr. King. Protesters, if you really care about justice and how your neighbors are treated, volunteer to tutor kids in schools. Instead of fingerpointing, take a good hard look at yourself. What do you do? Make yourself and your community better and respect our law enforcement officers and the good work they do. I appreciate Officer Hunter because he’s tough and devoted to getting lawbreakers off the streets. Salisbury is safer and better off with him on the Force. Also, I commend Assistant District Attorney Karen Simpson Biernacki for being tough on crime as a prosecutor. She wants the guilty put away for good. We need her as our next district attorney. — Lora S. Owen Salisbury
Recycling puzzle During a recent visit to Germany, I noticed that the recycling containers were twice the size of the trash containers. As a member of the Granite Quarry Recycling Committee, I was interested as to how this works. Both containers are serviced bi-weekly and there is no charge for the recycle container. Yes, the Recycling is FREE. In Granite Quarry all residents are provided with a large roll-away can for trash, serviced weekly, for $8.50 per month. The privilege of recycling, which is serviced biweekly, costs an additional $5 per month, to an outside vendor, saving $3 towards your trash costs. Now when you do the math, if you recycle your trash costs $10.50 per month and if you do not recycle the cost is $8.50 per month. It is my understanding that state law prevents placing plastic in our landfills. Who is paying for the sorting prior to placing it in the landfill? I bet we all are. Let me see; we are charging residents more for recycling that eliminates costs and filling of landfills, while at the same time letting the vast majority not recycle, which adds cost. There is something wrong with this picture. — Jim LaFevers Salisbury

As she grieved she also searched for rental housing that she could afford on an administrative assistant’s salary, eventually leaving the temporary trailer for an 800-square-foot apartment across the river in Jefferson

Vines hang from the gutters; where the siding was torn away, weathered clapboards dangle at odd angles; a blue tarpaulin on the roof is the only thing keeping out rain. Glapion has applied to Louisiana’s Road Home grant program, designed to help storm victims get back into their homes, but old tax is-
sues complicate the processing. Of the nearly 230,000 applications received, just over half have been approved and paid, with disbursements totaling nearly $8.6 billion. Still, she has faith that things will work out. “They’ve turned these things around into doing a lot of positive things,” says Glapion, who is applying for a higher-paying job. “And so that’s my goal, too. To keep climbing.”

GLAPION FROM 1D side her home. Somehow, her phone line still worked, letting her keep in regular touch with her daughter, Quianna, a teacher in Houston. By Wednesday, though, Quianna told her she needed to get out. “They said go to the convention center,” Glapion recalls her daughter saying. “They got buses down there waiting to pick you all up.” Glapion grabbed her 11year-old Pomeranian, Osa, and trudged through the flooded streets. But when she arrived at the convention center, there were no buses, just pandemonium. As many as 20,000 people had gathered there. There was no food or water or sanitary facilities. Hearing rumors of rapes, killings and armed gangs roaming the building’s fetid innards, Glapion decided to sleep outside on a stiff chair scavenged from an exhibition hall. During the day, she wandered the streets or sat on a bench down the street, to get away — and to pray. People ate whatever they could scrounge up. Throughout the week, Glapion would borrow a reporter’s cell phone to check in with her daughter in Houston, to let Quianna know she and Osa were still alive. Glapion tried to sound upbeat, but by Friday she could no longer suppress her sobs. “Osa is dying,” she cried. “I need to get out of here.” The next day, a fleet of buses finally arrived. A school bus ferried Glapion and her dog to the Louis Armstrong International Airport, where they boarded a plane to Austin, Texas. When they landed, Quianna was waiting with her arms open and tears streaming down her face. By December, just four months later, Glapion was back in New Orleans, living with other Loyola employees in a FEMA trailer park. Some elderly women from a church helped remove a shed and cut down a dead tree in Glapion’s back yard. Then came a group of Loyola students, whose professor of-
Crump had been badly injured while on the run. It was necessary for him to travel back to Salisbury in the baggage car where he could lie down. Henry also rode in the baggage car and cared for Crump during the trip. This event could have been another example of Henry’s determination to have the final word, or quite possibly, Henry wanted to prove that his life had been threatened, and that killing Obe was justifiable. In 1906, Henry made several significant changes in his business. He knew that prohibition was inevitable even in Salisbury, the “wettest and wickedest town.” He moved his liquor distillery/rectifying company to Florida. He concentrated on improving and expanding his land and real estate. He purchased several small farms in Rowan County and built exceptionally nice homes for the families of his farm managers. A lovely farmhouse located on McCoy Road is a good example of the houses Grubb built. Henry purchased the new Meroney Theatre that had been built in 1904. Dr. Leroy Meroney and his sister Lena had financed the construction of the theatre with help from Joseph Fels, a millionaire philanthropist from Pennsylvania who had made his fortune as a soap manufacturer. Fels was a wellknown social reformer who believed a single land tax was the solution for world poverty. Fels funded numerous planned co-op communities in England and several in the United States. Cleo, NC is one of his North Carolina communities. Fels also financed buildings that would be constructed on vacant land. Henry met Fels through his purchase of the Meroney. Fels must have believed that Henry was more than just a backwoods whisky drummer; he agreed to finance Henry in the construction of the state’s tallest building. From the outside, it appeared that Henry’s life was taking a turn for the better, but actually, his life was beginning to unravel at the seams. Theaters did not produce large profits. Henry added vaudeville reviews in the hopes of drawing larger audiences, and he incorporated the newest entertainment technology. He opened a moving picture show. When the construction of the Grubb building began, Henry had considerably more money going out than he had coming in. A fire destroyed his home and another fire badly damaged his distillery. He was
also seriously injured when he wrecked his automobile. Henry was described by his oldest daughter as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. When Henry was sober, he was a caring parent and a good family provider. Henry’s drinking increased as his business suffered. Henry had physically abused his wife from time to time and when his world started to fall apart, his drinking increased and so did the abuse. On Aug. 9, 1913, he came home drunk and in a rage. He dragged his wife from her bed and began attacking her with a knife. There are varying accounts of what happened next. What we do know is that Emma Grubb managed to grab Henry’s gun from its holster and shoot him three times. The sheriff was called, and Emma openly admitted that she had killed her husband. When the coroner examined the body, he stated that any one of the shots would have been fatal. The coroner’s jury met on August 10 and cleared Emma of all guilt. Her injuries left no doubt; it was self-defense. The Charlotte Observer and the New York Times shared the headline, “Wife Kills Rich Husband … Her exoneration is quick.” The sensational headlines were typical journalism of the time. The facts were very different. Henry didn’t own 5,000 acres of prime farmland. According to his daughter, his holdings were closer to 200 acres. Henry didn’t own a skyscraper. The Grubb Building was not finished, and after Henry’s death, Joseph Fels was declared the owner. Most of Henry’s property was sold at auction. The Beard family bought the theater. Nothing was left in Salisbury to carry on the Grubb name. Who was Henry Clay Grubb? There is no one living who knew him. No one can definitively, separate the fact from fiction. The following statement was made about Henry’s untimely death. “It wasn’t that nobody cared who killed him. … He was considered so dangerous a man that everyone was relieved that he was gone.” Was Henry a visionary? Was he a selfish, self absorbed, “no good”? Was he Salisbury’s version of Howard Hughes? If we had more information, possibly we could come to an intelligent conclusion. To say that Henry Clay Grubb was a man of his time is far too simplistic. We may not approve of the way he lived his life. We may not like some of the things that he did, but when we drive through downtown, we cannot dismiss his creation. The Grubb Building is a landmark that defines our city.

‘The Christ-Haunted Landscape’ part of sixweek series at Center for Faith & the Arts A discussion of the Susan Ketchin book “The Christ-Haunted Landscape: Faith and Doubt in Southern Fiction” (University Press of Mississippi, 1994) will be held in a six-week series at Center for Faith & the Arts, 207 W. Harrison St. (in the lower level of Haven Lutheran Church). Discussions will be held Tuesdays, 5:30-7 p.m., Sept. 7 through Oct. 12, and will be facilitated by discussion leaders, Dr. Jesse McCartney, retired English professor and college administrator, and Katie Scarvey, lifestyle editor for the Salisbury Post. The book contains short stories by and interviews with 12 Southern writers. In her introduction, Ketchin notes, “A little more than a generation ago, Flannery O’Connor made an astute observation about herself and fellow Southerners: ‘By and large,’ she said, ‘people in the South still conceive of humanity in theological terms. While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christhaunted. The Southerner who isn’t convinced of it is very much afraid that he may have been formed in the image and likeness of God.’” The discussions will focus on writings by the following: Lee Smith, Reynolds Price, Doris Betts, Mary Ward Brown, Clyde Edgerton and Alan Gurganus. The book is currently out of print, but the Center has a limited number of used copies available for $14 each. There is no fee to participate in the discussion series, but those planning to attend are asked to RSVP. For more information, or to reserve a book, contact Sarah Hall at CFA, 704-647-0999 or faithart@bellsouth.net.

Unless, of course, the book is his own. “It is quite simply, with no disrespect to all of those who have come before us, the most sweeping and detailed work about humanity yet put to paper,” he says of the sweepingly titled “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Book): A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race.” “A lot of people are a little long-winded in their recounting of human history. We do it all in around 256 pages, with illustrations.” Stewart’s worldly new work, from the same team that produced the best-selling and relatively local “America (The Book),” foresees civilization’s end and summarizes how we looked and what we did, listing our achievements in government, society and culture. At least 10 books will be out on President Obama, a kind of midterm report that includes attacks from the right and the left and reviews from the middle, like Bob Woodward’s latest look inside the White House. Conservative books such as Michael Savage’s “Trickle Up Poverty” argue that Obama has a “Marxist-Socialist” agenda. Liberals might agree with “The Mendacity of Hope,” by Harper’s magazine Editor-In-Chief Roger D. Hodge, who contends that Obama is not a tool of Marx, but of “a well-entrenched corporatist machine.” George W. Bush will end a self-imposed silence with “Decision Points,” scheduled for release right after Election Day. More on the Bush presidency will come from his secretary of state and good friend, Condoleezza Rice, whose “Condoleezza Rice: A Memoir of My Extraordinary, Ordinary Family and Me” takes her from childhood to the Bush administration. Another friendship between a president and his secretary of state will be told through “Affection and Trust,” the post-presidential correspondence between Harry Truman and Dean Acheson. With an introduction by Truman biographer David McCullough, the collection includes some letters in which Acheson offers his former boss — writing his memoirs at the time — some rough and honest advice. Other presidential books include Ron Chernow’s 800-page “Washington,” which narrates in detail the real tears shed by the supposedly stoic father of his country. The second president, John Adams, is featured in Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph Ellis’ “First Family,” a joint biography of John and Abigail Adams. A leading Civil War era historian, Eric Foner, writes about Lincoln and slavery in “The Fiery Trial.” Edmund Morris’ “Colonel Roosevelt” completes his award-winning trilogy on Theodore Roosevelt. Terry Golway’s “JFK: Day by Day,” is an illustrated chronicle
of the Kennedy presidency, released on the 50th anniversary of his election. More than 100 friends, foes and acquaintances of Bill Clinton recall his life and presidency in “A Complicated Man,” by Michael Takiff. An overseas take on the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations will likely appear in “A Journey,” a memoir by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. A possible candidate for 2012, Sarah Palin, shares stories and moral lessons in “America by Heart.” Ronald Reagan’s centennial comes next year, so publisher Simon & Schuster is reissuing his memoir, “An American Life.” The man he defeated for president in 1980, Jimmy Carter, will be featured in three books: a short biography by Julian E. Zelizer; a memoir by former Vice President Walter Mondale (Reagan’s victim in 1984); and Carter’s own White House diaries. Presidential honors have already been bestowed on the fall’s top literary novel, Jonathan Franzen’s “Freedom,” subject of a Time magazine cover story and an object of such desire that a bookstore on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts provided a vacationing Obama with an early copy.

Rap officially goes Ivy league with the Yale University Press’ “Anof Rap.” thology Princeton University scholar and Dylan expert Sean Wilentz gives us “Bob Dylan in America.” Amazon.com senior book editor Tom Nissley is looking forward to new works by Laura Hillenbrand (“Unbroken”) and Oliver Sacks (“The Mind’s Eye”), and anticipates strong sales for the first volume of Mark Twain’s autobiography, released in full upon the 100th anniversary of his death.
Grisham, Cornwell Fiction will also come from Nicole Krauss, Umberto Eco, Cynthia Ozick and Philip Roth. John Grisham has a new courtroom tale, “The Confession”; Stephen King some formerly unpublished stories, “Full Dark, No Stars”; and Patricia Cornwell a Kay Scarpetta mystery, “Port Mortuary.” Others arriving: Michael Connelly’s “The Reversal”; Janet Evanovich’s “Wicked Appetite”; and Ken Follett’s “Fall of Giants.” In “Getting to Happy,” Terry McMillan updates the lives of the four heroines of her million-selling “Waiting to Exhale.” Author-actor-musician Steve Martin has a pair of books coming, a children’s story based on his song “Late for School” and a novel, “Object of Beauty,” about the contemporary art world in
More humor Much will be heard this fall from Twain’s disciples. Nora Ephron has a new essay collection, “I Remember Nothing,” Amy Sedaris brings us “Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People” and brother David Sedaris checks in with “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk.” Humor’s essence is taken on in Marlo Thomas’ “Growing Up Laughing,” with experts including Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and from “I Found This Funny,” essays by Stewart and others compiled by “Knocked Up” director-writer Judd Apatow. In the introduction, Apatow promises “the ultimate airplane book, bathroom book, or what one reads while waiting for a friend to come out of an appointment that you have no interest in.”
Apatow himself is entered in the latest edition of David Thomson’s popular and well regarded “Biographical Dictionary of Film.” The review is mixed, but hopeful. The filmmaker is chastised for casting “whatever celebrity Apatow met at dinner the night before shooting,” but still positioned as a potential “major comic artist.” A bolder-faced name of the past decade, Brad Pitt, is logged in as a formerly “likable country boy” citified and internationalized by “that force of nature and publicity, Angelina Jolie.” Although lucky to have enough money to “help defray baby-sitting costs,” Pitt is pitied as overworked and bound “to look very tired.” Jolie, meanwhile, is billed as a gusher of “public nonsense,” powered by a “mouth made in braille on the flattest of screens.” Her best work, “Girl, Interrupted,” was long ago. She is now a tabloid heavyweight champ, her next knockout possibly “going off with a voodoo tattoo artist, Tiger Woods or Jennifer Aniston.”
Christie fans will have fun with ‘Bedside, Bathside Companion’ BY GRETCHEN BEILFUSS WITT Rowan Public Library
Mystery readers everywhere are drawn to the quintessential writer of the crime puzzle, Dame Agatha Christie. With two of the most beloved sleuths and a number of other characters, Christie examines the working of the human psyche in a manner that continues to enthrall readers. Beginning in 1920 and continuing nearly till her death in 1976, Christie regaled her fans not only with full length mystery novels but with romances, short stories and plays as well. In the thoroughly delightful book, “The Bedside, Bathside, & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie,” admirers of her work have provided a smorgasbord of commentary to enlighten and entertain. The book introduces Christie’s first great detective who appears in more than half of her murder mysteries. Accepting a dare from her older sister Madge, Agatha wrote her first novel in 1915, although it was not published until 1920. Although devoted to Sherlock Holmes, she felt that she must create a new kind of detective. She often drew from her own experiences and this was no exception. Christie knew of an enclave of Belgian refugees near her home in Devon. Christie imagined a retired Belgian policeman, neat and tidy, but a small man with a “flavor of absurdity.” Such a small man deserved a
big name, perhaps the hero Hercules modified to flow with the surname, Hercule Poirot entered the literary lexicon. Interspersed between summaries of her marvelous tales are amusing bits with titles like “A Nice Cuppa” explaining the origin of the English tea ritual and how it appears in various narratives. It gives details about how tea became a fashionable ladies beverage as early as 1662 in London with Twinning’s Tea house first making an appearance in London in 1717. Taking tea with a variety of hostesses to win confidences or acquire needed information became a fixture in both Poirot novels and those of Miss Marple. Charming vignettes like, “I wouldn’t go in there if I were you/Rooms to avoid in an English County House” or “How to Trace your family mystery — if you dare” share space with essays discussing weapons like the pearl-handled .22 or the oft-found trophy from the war, the Mauser. Other articles discuss the presence of class distinctions and dress codes and the influence they had in Christie’s crime stories. Adding recipes for the condemned, crosswords, word searches and acrostics make this a wonderful book with which to take a break of a few minutes or curl up with for hours. Enjoy immersing yourself in Christie’s criminal world with “The Bedside, Bathtub and Armchair Companion” and continue your reading pleasure by checking out

Dying to live
Tom murrAy/The Sun newS
Pete Bogle works on a sand sculpture of a sunbather during a family vacation to holden Beach this year. Bogle loves to create with sand, even though he knows his art is ultimately fated to disappear.
Can you dig it? Pete Bogle loves sculpting with sand, even though he knows his creations won’t last B Y K ATIE S CARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
oodbye, summer. One of the things that makes the season so sweet is the awareness that it’s soon gone. It’s sad to see long, golden days end, but we can be consoled with the knowledge that, inexorably, summer days will return. Pete Bogle understands that notion, not only as it applies to summer but as it applies to one of his summer joys: creating sculptures out of sand. Like summer itself, sand sculptures are transitory, disappearing all too soon, washed away with the tides — but that fact does not diminish the joy Pete gets from creating them. During beach vacations, Pete likes nothing more than to use his imagination and his hands to create whimsical art, whether it be a wriggling dog, a lazy sunbather or a creepy little gargoyle. This year, his family’s trip to Holden Beach happened to coincide with a sand sculpting contest. Pete won one of two prizes offered with his sculpture of a woman stretched out on the sand, sunning her back. Pete has been sand sculpting for years, and so he’s ready for the inevitable question: “Doesn’t it bother you that you spend so much time and effort just to have the ocean wash it away?” His answer is no. “To me, it’s just part of the cycle — a reminder that everything, even life itself, is temporary — that we should create and enjoy as much beauty as we can, while we can, and then be OK with the fact that the tide tolls steadily in. Only heaven is eternal, and we’re not there yet.” It calls to mind the sand mandalas done by Tibetan monks, which are ritualistically destroyed once they are completed, symbolizing the transitory nature of things. Although Pete speaks eloquently about the subject, creating sand sculptures is mostly a quiet, contemplative pursuit for him, and that’s part of the appeal. He says he’d build with sand even if nobody ever saw his creations before the tide leveled them. The joy, of course, is in the doing. Although he finds beauty in the finished piece, there is also beauty in the washing away, “back to the clean slate with no trace left behind but a memory.” Sand sculpting isn’t easy work. It’s hot and sweaty and involves a lot of bending, which can be hard on backs that have been through more than a few summers. Still, Pete says he doesn’t notice the physical discomfort while he’s in the middle of a sculpture.

This guy peeking out of a hole (above) didn’t take Pete long to create. At left is a dog with a huge bone, another one of Pete’s whimsical sand sculptures.
A young Pete Bogle shows early promise at the beach. As a sand artist, he has, perhaps, a bit of an advantage over the rest of us. He’s an architect, which almost certainly means he his sense of dimensions is better than average. Thankfully, the pressure that architects are often under doesn’t apply to sand sculpture. While sculpting, Pete answers to no one but himself and the sand. The activity, he says, is “just pure, simple creativity.” Like many artists, the process — which for him requires only sand and a short-handled shovel — isn’t necessarily easy to explain. “You throw together a big pile of sand and then cut away anything that doesn’t look like the object that you’re sculpting,” he says. He notes that this thought isn’t original to him. Pete doesn’t like to talk about what he’s doing when he’s in the middle of it, though his two daughters are certain to ask, “What are you making?” His answer will always be, “What does it look like?” His wife, Katie, has learned not to ask anymore, he says. Sometimes, he’s not quite sure
everybody needs some time to sit and think on the beach. what he’ll create until he’s actually doing it. Some pieces are done quickly — one he did of a head peeking out of the sand. Sometimes, he might spend two or three hours on a single sculpture. One of a man on a raft took the longest, he believes, although an eight-foot tall pirate he created also ate up some time. It doesn’t matter much to him how long his sculptures last. He’s been known to finish a piece just before the water starts lapping at it, though he does admit that in those cases, he’s likely to dig a moat around it to “slow the reclaiming process.” Pete takes a childlike pleasure in his play and says he is grateful to have this gift and be able to share it. It’s a pursuit about which it’s easy to get philosophical, especially for someone like Pete who is a man of faith. He likes to apply a passage
from Ecclesiastes 3: to his sandy feats: “What does the worker gain from his toil?” (verse 9). A later passage explains further: “That everyone may eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his toil — this is the gift of God.” “God makes us in his image — that means there’s a little bit of a creator in all of us,” Pete says.” “Creating is something all of us do every day — the key is to create something beautiful. “Sand sculpture that’s there for a day and washes away with the tide is a momentary act of beauty, purely and simply that. We can all create, and we do, every day. Whether its a song, a smile, a spinning layup or a well-prepared family dinner — these are all acts of beauty that are here for the moment and then gone. “Even though the moments are fleeting, they make impressions that last. “My goal is to take time to savor them all.”
Ryan Arnold died so his brother could live. You may have read about this heart-breaking but incredibly inspiring story of brotherly love and ultimate sacrifice and a faith so fierce that a family could withstand such a tragedy. If not, I’d like to share it with you. Perhaps you will share it with others. Ryan and his brother Chad grew up in my hometown in South EMILY Dakota. I gradFORD uated from high school with their sister, Janelle. Chad, 38, suffered from an incurable liver disease until his little brother gave him 60 percent of his liver. Rare and risky, the procedure was performed July 29 at the University of Colorado Hospital. It went perfectly. The family chronicled the brothers’ journey with a web journal that begins the day before the surgery. The posts include play-by-play and lighthearted banter (Chad asking “What am I? Chopped liver?”), as well as Bible verses and prayer requests. A video clip shows the emotional moment when Chad expressed his gratitude to his brother before the surgery. As they were wheeled past each other in the hallway afterward, the brothers bumped fists. A TV news crew from Denver covered the transplant, and a cameraman who watched doctors place the liver into Chad’s body said it was the coolest thing he’d filmed. Ryan’s liver started working immediately. The color returned to Chad’s face. His “pot belly” shrank. He was up and moving. But Ryan struggled. Doctors said his pain was normal and would subside. However, two days after the surgery, he went into cardiac arrest and was placed on life support. He died Aug. 2. Ryan was a husband and father of three young boys. Chad’s father delivered the news, telling him, “Ryan’s gone, but we still serve a good God.” Chad continues to recover. He started a blog and shares his struggle with anger and guilt. A father of two, Chad has dedicated himself to their care and finds strength and solace in his family and scripture. But his greatest source of inspiration, it seems, is his brother. Ryan’s last words to Chad were “I believe in you.” And Chad takes that as a personal call. Chad writes that he can’t waste time feeling guilty. Not when Ryan sacrificed everything for him. He’s a living memorial to Ryan. He writes that he will become a better person to honor his brother, but I think Chad was a pretty amazing person already. Ryan was my sister’s sixthgrade boyfriend. Laura recently wrote about their four-day romance in a memory book high school classmates compiled for his children. She was going out with the cutest boy in their class, a fact widely acknowledged. They never actually spoke, just exchanged notes. On Valentine’s Day, he sent her two red roses, the only ones she’s ever received. “He was a perfect gentleman,” Laura wrote. Doctors at the University of Colorado Hospital have temporarily suspended live-donor transplants but pledge to learn everything they can from this tragedy to improve and continue the program. Ryan’s passing will not be in vain, they say. How could it be? He saved his brother. Visit RyanArnold.org to read more about this story. Then share it.

Forget bucket list; Kent’s working on his box list think one of the best movies I’ve seen in recent years was “The Bucket List.” The central idea behind the movie is that, as we get older, we should compose a list of all the things we hope to accomplish before we die and then set out to comKENT plete the list. I like that BERNHARDT idea, and I have a few things on my list already, most of which I’ll keep to myself. One of them is to see the movie again someday. I’ve had a pretty eventfilled life already. I’ve already done things I thought I’d never get to do. I’ve flown upside down in a stunt plane, thrown styrofoam footballs from a hot air balloon and I’ve appeared in a movie. OK…it was only my voice and I’m not credited, but trust me, I have one of the funniest lines in “Talladega Nights.” I still get paid for that, by the way. A few weeks ago, I received a check for $23. The money

keeps rolling in. What I’d rather write about is my box list; things I have vowed that I will never do, so I’m going to put them in a box and bury them forever. It’s my way of turning loose, and it helps if you imagine Andy Rooney while you read them. I feel like Andy writing them. 1. I will never become a camping enthusiast. It’s too late for me. Sure, you may get me in a tent again a few more times, but for the most part, I’m finished with camping. I’ll hike, roast wieners by the campfire, and even sing Kum-ba-ya, but afterward, get me to a hotel. 2. I’m never going to buy a car from a guy sitting on a bull yelling “Valdese.” I plan to buy my next car from someone who seems to understand that I’m about to plunk down a lot of money for an item I’m entrusting my life to, not buying a funnel cake at the fair. I know, they’re doing it to get my attention. I hope I have theirs. 3. I’m never going to vacation in Alabama. There are too many other places I’d rather see, and Alabama is, for better or worse, near the bottom of my list.
4.This is a tough one. I’m never going back to Disney World. The last time I was there I had fun, but the money flew out of my wallet like it was being sucked out by a vacuum cleaner. Mickey has gotten a little greedy in his old age. OK, maybe one more trip down to ride The Tower of Terror, but that’s it. 5. I’m through with Jim Carrey movies. I tried to like Jim when he first started out, but the excessive mugging turned me off. It doesn’t help that every character he plays is creepy, even the ones I’m supposed to like. He even ruined the Dr. Seuss classic “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with his overblown performance. I don’t ever need to see another one. 6. Finally, I’m burying forever the following foods: Liver, raw oysters, sardines, boiled cabbage, fruit cake, and cauliflower (unless there’s cheese involved). All of you had your chance, and you blew it. I’m sure as I get older and crankier I will add to this list, but for now this will have to do.
Dear Worried: There are a number of possible reasons for this behavior. Has your mother’s eyesight changed so that it is no longer safe for her to navigate in the kitchen and operate the stove? Are all of their appliances in working order? Is there a step or other floor surface in the kitchen that presents a falling hazard? You should assess your parents’ home to make sure it is a safe environment for both of them. Your local Office on Aging can send someone to the home to do this basic assessment and make recommendations. Meals on Wheels is a won-
derful resource that provides nutritious prepared food (and daily company) for elders, delivered to their home. They might need housekeeping or cooking help, which your mother is embarrassed to ask for. I agree that this is alarming and unhealthy. Your mother could be suffering from dementia, anxiety or other health problems (or she could be covering for your father). Controlling your father to the extent she does isn’t good for either of them. Please do more than suggest they learn to thaw frozen meals and pay them a visit to get to the bottom of this.

Thank you for the invitation, but I am unable to attend.” Dear Amy: About four years ago, my brother gave his daughter $2,000 toward the purchase of a car and lent her the rest (several thousands of dollars more) with the understanding that she would pay back the loan in a timely manner. She made no attempts to repay the loan. Then she turned on her father and has not spoken to him or allowed him to see his grandchildren. It has come to his attention through a friend that his daughter is thinking of contacting him to reconcile. But he was told he is not allowed to bring up the “money” issue with her. He is confused about how to handle this. He feels that a promise was broken, as was the relationship, through no fault of his. What advice can I give him? — A Worried Sister

Apple’s 99-cent TV show idea no game-changer? LOS ANGELES (AP) — Apple Inc.’s iTunes store may have revolutionized the music business, but its recent push to let people rent TV shows for 99 cents won’t amount to a game changer for how people watch TV. The idea to offer episodes of hit shows for rental a day after their broadcast may be great for people with busy lifestyles, and it could help Apple sell more iPhones and iPads, but only a few of the major media companies support the plan. That’s because they already make money from TV shows in a number of ways, and compared with those, the planned price of 99 cents is seen as a big cut, according to some people familiar with Apple’s proposal. Media companies already sell episodes on iTunes, but currently for $1.99 or $2.99, and sometimes more than a day after the broadcast. Because most people watch such shows
just once, the cheaper rental model might end up cutting into revenue, rather than boosting it. Also, media companies sell advertising, and coming out of the recession, prices have been going up for those 30-second commercial spots on TV. Allowing people to avoid those ads by paying 99 cents the next day doesn’t make sense if it means a smaller audience and smaller advertising revenue on the day of the broadcast. Still, The Walt Disney Co.’s ABC and News Corp.’s Fox network are nearing a deal on such a rental plan, according to several people familiar with Apple’s proposal. That means shows such as “Modern Family” or “Glee” could soon be available the day after they air for less than the cost of buying a permanent download. Rentals would typically be available for 48 hours after the purchase.
The definition of clean he definition of the word “clean?” It’s all relative. It depends on which relative is doing the cleaning. Two of my boys, the youngest two, ages 13 and 8, are in charge of cleaning one of the bathrooms in my house. I have put LAURA them in SNYDER charge of bathroom because they are the cretins that use it the most and it stands to reason that if it gets messy, they are the most likely culprits. The plan was to have them clean the mess they make in hopes that they would stop making the mess. Then they wouldn’t have to work so hard. I made the assumption that they didn’t realize how much work it would take to clean up their mess and that’s why they made it. Bad assumption. Apparently, they still don’t know how much work it
The people familiar with the discussions spoke on condition of anonymity because no deal had been finalized. If a deal is cut soon, Apple could announce it at a media event next Wednesday, though music appears to be the focus of that. Offering a rental model would expand options for viewers. It’s now possible to watch many of the shows for free — with ads — on Hulu and the sites of broadcasters. But those shows are streamed and require an Internet connection while viewing. A rental model would give people the ability to download files to take with them on planes or other places; the files would automatically expire after the 48 hours. Those who buy shows for children, or who tend to watch shows multiple times, would likely continue to buy them in various ways.
would take even though they are in charge of the work. For me, clean is, well… clean. No unidentifiable stains, spots, or smells means clean. No clothes or towels on the floor means clean. No neon blue stuff smeared around the sink drain means clean. No handprints (or footprints) on the mirror means clean. My boys think clean is how little one can do to make it look like they did something without actually doing something. They may place the toothbrushes back into the toothbrush caddy, but there is still a wad of bubblegum flavored toothpaste on the end of the tube that has dried to pink concrete because the cap has been left off. They may have installed the toilet paper onto the spindle – an accomplishment of which they are particularly proud – but there is evidence of toilet tissue retrieval and failure on the floor beneath it. You know, those times when you go for 12 inches and come away with a piece the size of a quarter because there is some kind of snafu in the dispenser system. Usually it happens because some insensitive person squashed the roll somewhere

Mom’s refusal to cook raises some red flags for her family Dear Amy: Is my 68-year-old mother's refusal to cook (even already prepared food) for herself and my father a possible sign of depression? (My mother won't allow my father in the kitchen to do the cooking either.) They eat out once, sometimes twice, each day — usually at a fast-food joint. A suggestion to subscribe to a delivery service (which I would pay for) was knocked down ASK because “all AMY that stuff is frozen” — as opposed to the fried frozen stuff she eats daily? I’m worried! She's never enjoyed cooking, by the way, but this is extreme. What are your thoughts? — Worried

between the grocery store and the spindle. So toilet tissue confetti litters the floor and is virtually invisible to my boys. Now, let me just say that I am not a clean freak. I like the bathroom to be clean, of course, but if my mother was to clean a bathroom, she would be scrubbing down the baseboards and wiping down the lighting fixtures. I haven’t gotten to the point where I think cleaning those peripheral things are more important than some other things on my To Do List. The weird thing is that my grandmother thought my mother wasn’t a very good housekeeper. Not that being the best housekeeper would be one of my great aspirations in life, but perhaps someday my cleaning skills will mature into the kind of clean my mother would expect. Perhaps my kids’ cleaning skills will someday mature into what I expect. Until that time, I would just like to see a toothpaste-free faucet once in a while.

The Newcomers Club ber’s homes and discuss a book that all of us have read. I also have to mention, there is always a great offering of goodies to eat. • Special Activities – In addition to the regularly planned activities offered above, the SRNC offers special activities for fun, plus service to others in need. For instance, the club has an annual Fashion Show with a Luncheon, plus games to help raise money for Rowan Helping Ministries and the Woman’s Crisis Center. Also, we sponsor a collection of cans and food for Rowan Helping Ministries. • Crazy Hat Tea Party – Each April, all of the members get together at a person’s home and wear the most outlandish hat they can think of, and might I add, there were some “doozies” this spring! We vote within several categories for the people who have the best inventions of hats and prizes are awarded. I have to add, that we are also offered a fantastic feast. • Fifth Thursday Mixers – We get together and have great conversation, along with snacks and wine. •General Meetings – The third Wednesday of each month, the club holds a general meeting at the Civic Center in Salisbury. Each month there is some new activity offered. We have speakers from various organizations, craft classes, games and lunch afterwards at a local restaurant. This group is a great way to meet genuinely wonderful people with a variety of interests, and we enjoy many of the events together. Don and I have yet to “scratch the surface” of what the Salisbury Rowan Newcomers club has to offer. We have always felt totally welcome from all of the members and always have a great time. After reading all of the activities offered above, many of you, I’m sure, would love to become a member and enjoy the events with the rest of us. Dues are only $15, paid annually. The dues are based on the Newcomers Club year, which is June 1 through May 31st. Now that I have piqued your interest, should you want to become a member, or have any other questions, please contact our President – Carol Denhard at704-637-7072, or our Membership leader, Maxine Dvoracek at 704-637-0637. Come join us, because I know that you will be rewarded with great friendship, lots of activities and oh, by the way, did I mention – fantastic food! Jennifer Doering lives in Salisbury.

It’s time for college students to begin fall classes, so I thought it would be good to compile a list of gadgets for college dorms and apartments. The obvious ones, like smartphones, laptops, iPads and calculators, aren’t listed here because I went for the fun and unique gadgets instead. • The Elite Cuisine MultiFunction 3-In-1 Breakfast Center is a coffeemaker, toaster oven and griddle all in one. Great for those latenight study sessions, some frozen eggrolls or a short stack of pancakes in the morning before class. • The Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker will wake you up after that late night of studying so you don’t miss that important exam. It has a maximum sound level of 113 decibels, and if you put it under your mattress it also will shake your bed. If you don’t wake up when this thing goes off. it’s time to call 911. • CordaRoy’s Beanbag Beds are beanbag chairs that convert into a spare bed. They’re great for reading and relaxing, and when a friend visits and wants to spend the night you’ll have an extra bed. They’re available in sizes up to double king. • The Fridge Locker Personal Food Security System
will keep your groceries and snacks safe if you have to share fridge space with roommates. Get one and you won’t have to worry about an 800-pound grizzly bear getting your food. • The Wi-Fi Detector Shirt will help you monitor your wireless connection in your dorm room and around campus. The shirt lights up to indicate when you have the best signal strength. • The Hot Diggity Dogger hot-dog maker is a great complement to the Breakfast Center, giving you a way to make fresh hot dogs for lunch or dinner as easily as you make toast. Cooks two hot dogs and two buns at a time. • Stash Safes from dormgear.net let you hide money, credit cards and other valuable in a fake Pringles can, stack of CDs or a flowerpot. Great place to hide your car keys if you don’t want roommates “borrowing” your car. • The Lacie iamaKey USB 2.0 Flash Drive is a handy thing to keep on your key ring so you can easily transport documents back and forth from the computer lab for printing or quick transfer to your laptop. Comes in capacities up to 32GB. Jack Rowland is a video producer for tampabay.com, is a longtime gadget fan and lover of all things Mac.
Gloria Bryant and Wayne Pegram played a successful three spades contract for the top N/S score on this deal. The Shadroui/Hill pair made a two hearts contract for the best E/W score. Carol and Harold Winecoff were the top pair in the Evergreen Club’s Aug. 20 duplicate game. Other winners were: Betsy Bare and Gloria Bryant, second; Sonja McHone and Hagan Hilbish, third; Stella Shadroui and Betty Bonner Steele, fourth. Burke is ACBL, Life Master director of the Salisbury Woman’s Club weekly duplicate games.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT
I have lived in Salisbury over seven years, and it was a few months ago that I was introduced to the Salisbury Rowan Newcomers Club. Once I found out about all of the activities this club offers, my husband Don and I were very eager to join. The title, JENNIFER S a lisbury DOERING Rowan Newcomers Club, has led some residents of Rowan County to believe that only people who are newcomers to Rowan County can join. Of course, we do have many people from other states that have settled in Salisbury because they are very happy here, but the club does want to clarify that this organization is open to any person living in Rowan County, whether you are brand new to our area, or an “old-timer.” Whether you are in your twenties or eighties, there are many activities to choose from. For those of you who would like a little history lesson, originally, the Newcomers Club was an offshoot of Welcome Wagon. In the 1980s, the Newcomers became an independent, non-profit, tax-exempt organization serving Salisbury and Rowan County. Some of the activities that are available include: • Dinner Club – This club meets every other month at one of the member’s homes, and every person/couple takes part in preparation of the meal. Each dinner is based on some theme, and, of course, the food is always great. The camaraderie and friendliness of the people attending always provide for a delightful evening. • Reservations Only – For those members who would like to socialize without having to cook, every month the group meets for dinner at different restaurants. • Garden and Travel Group — This group originally started out as a gardening group, but now it has evolved into a group that visits different exciting places, plus a few gardens. • Various Bridge Groups – The club offers a monthly morning bridge group, a bimonthly evening group, as well as a monthly couples group (so far, I have not participated in bridge since I know absolutely nothing about it, but they also offer beginners classes and I might just take them up on that offer)! • Book Club – We meet monthly at one of the mem-

Moms hooked on ‘Twilight’ too BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press
ANNIVERSARIES Walck 50th Anniversary
Pastor Clarence “Bud” Walck and Dot Walck of New London celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Aug. 21, 2010. They were married Aug. 21, 1960, at First Lutheran Church in West Palm Beach, Fla., by her father, Rev. Dr. Paul E. Arnold. Pastor Bud served Concordia Lutheran Church in China Grove for 11 years and is now visitation pastor at First Lutheran Church in Albemarle. Dot was a guidance counselor at West Rowan, East Rowan and Albemarle high schools. Their children are Charlotte and Ken Helms of New London and Buddy and Jennifer Walck of Boynton Beach, Fla. Their six grandchildren are Amanda (Josh) Halley, Seattle, Wash., Joseph Helms, UNC-Charlotte, Ken Helms, NC State, Andrew Anspach, UNC-Charlotte, Autumn Helms and Rebecca Walck. The family honored the couple with a surprise mountain trip and dinner for the family at Daniel Boone Inn, which is celebrating 50 years in business. R125841
Seamon 50th Anniversary
Tommy and Venay Sprinkle Seamon of China Grove celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Aug. 12, 2010, at Grove Park Inn in Asheville. They were married Aug. 12, 1960, by the Rev. Walter Thompson at First United Methodist Church in China Grove. Tommy retired in 1990 as Health Care Administrator of the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic in Winston-Salem, while Venay was a housewife and mother. The Seamons have three children, Pamela (Jeff) Austin, Lisa (Monty) Shores, both of Salisbury, and Scott of Belews Creek. They also have three grandsons, Cody and Kyle Shores and Alex Austin. R125844
Jill Etesse was hooked on the “Twilight” books the second she cracked the series opener. She ripped through the saga on paper and rented movie No. 1. Then the madness began. “I joined the lines of teens for ‘New Moon,’ ” said the 38year-old mom of two. “My husband is deathly embarrassed. Half my friends think I’m crazy.” Etesse, from Leesburg, Va., won’t let her 8-year-old daughter anywhere near Team Edward OR Team Jacob, but did she take herself to “Eclipse” this summer? “Oh yeah.” Is there something, um, icky about moms lusting after the boys of “Twilight” or other morsels of ripe screen candy? Heck no, said 54-year-old Toni Downey of Limerick, Pa. We’re not dead yet! Downey’s more into Matt Bomer, 32, of TV’s “White Collar” at the moment, but “I’ve had impure thoughts about barely legal boys as well.” Strictly the celebrity lookdon’t-touch variety, she notes. Eighteen-year-old Taylor Lautner’s six-pack? “Mindboggling,” said Downey, who has a 25-year-old daughter. “She likes Buffy as her only vamp thing, and we both thought Pattinson was hotter as a blond in Harry Potter.” Into the light they’ve come, publicly declaring their sometimes puzzled joy, juggling movie schedules with diaper changes, kid lunches and soccer practices. They’re definitely looking forward with younger fans to the last two “Twilight” movies starting next year, and they’re scooping up all sorts of reads intended for the young. “I have no idea why it’s so appealing to me,” Etesse said of her “Twilight” jones. “I’m married to a tall, dark and handsome French-Irish guy, but those abs, you know. I’d trade a pair of my Jimmy C’s for my husband to have those.” In June, 30-year-old mom
Compassionate And Professional Attention For All Your Familyʼs Healthcare Needs.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart star in ‘Twilight,’ a saga that appeals not only to teenage girls but to their moms as well. Christina Fiedler was undaunted by a tent city of young people on her way in to a special screening of “Eclipse” at a Los Angeles theater. She’s not all that much older than 24-year-old Robert Pattinson and his mid-20s Cullen kin, played by Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, but her mom status makes her feel light years their senior, especially since they’re all supposed to be teens on screen. “What an odd experience to be an adult woman in a theater full of screaming tweens,” said Fiedler, who has a 2-year-old son and has blogged about her “Twilight” habit at Mom Logic. “I didn’t go with my Team Jacob or Team Edward shirt like some of the women my age did. There were quite a few of them. I didn’t talk back to the screen like they did.” Is there an age cutoff of appropriateness? A mom code when it comes to ogling young hunks? Single mom Victoria Martinez, 37, in Hemet, Calif., said
yes. She has three boys of her own, ages 15, 14 and 11, and won’t let her mind wander to jail bait. The Cullen clan may be playing teens, but they’re way legal in life so it’s full steam ahead. “I don’t have a husband or even a significant other to worry about when it comes to my man candy crushes,” she said, adding that she’s a bit of a cougar on the ground. “Taylor Lautner isn’t on my list because he’s only 18 and I still think of him as Shark Boy.” Martinez first heard of the Twilight saga when she learned the bedroom-eyed Pattinson was cast as Edward. “He’s the reason I read the books. There’s just something irresistible about him. I’ll continue to lust over and enjoy them on the big screen long after the teens move on to the next big thing.” She has others, not just the Twilight crew. There’s Jake Gyllenhaal, who at 29 was “a nice piece of summer eye candy” in “Prince of Persia.” Downey especially liked
theEntertainment Weekly spread featuring Bomer pouring a jug of water over his head, nicely soaking his white T-shirt. “And he and his character have a pinch of naughty in the devastating smile,” she said. With an upswing in grownups (yes, women) embracing books intended for teens, are moms thinking younger, or at least enjoying the freedom to express their still-young sides in ways June Cleaver was denied? Fiedler’s Team Edward, though considers him bad boyfriend material for his younger fans. He encourages Bella to keep secrets from her family and ditch her old friends. He needs anger management counseling and the two are never happy. Besides, his family finds her “irresistible.” You be the judge. “It’s not so much as a ’lust’ thing as it is escaping from a hectic daily life and into their frivolous ones,” she said. “It’s this generation’s Romeo and Juliet — forbidden love.”
