The day after Vendors aren’t sure what’s next since fire leveled flea market BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Nearly every weekend for the past 25 years, Pauline Rigsby has traveled to Salisbury from her home in Concord to sell silk flowers, antique glass and a variety of knick-knacks at the Webb Road Flea Market. On Saturday, as she stood outside the chain-link fence that separated her from the rubble left after the fire that
destroyed the 15-acre complex the day before, she wondered what’s next. “As of right now, I don’t know what to do,” she said. “I just can’t believe it.” Rigsby said she isn’t sure how much merchandise she lost in the blaze. Although it wasn’t her sole source of income, she said the money she made each week helped supplement her retirement and disability. “A lot of this stuff is hard to find
and costs more and more,” she said. “People think we just get this stuff for free, but that’s not the case.” Robin Jordan of Salisbury said she rents 10 double-space units and lost everything in the fire. Her shop, called Miller’s Treasures, sold toys, baby clothing, antiques and collectibles. sarah campbell/SALISBURY POST “They called me and I got up here just in time to see my spot burn down,” Pauline Rigsby, right, showed up Saturday to survey the damage left

Teachers are used to grading students, but what happens when they grade schools. Do they pass the test? Results from this year’s North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey show 83 percent of Rowan-Salisbury School System teachers feel their school is a good place to work and learn. That’s up 6 percentage points from 77 percent in 2008. Statewide that figure is 85 percent, up 8 percentage points from 77 percent. The survey is conducted every two years and focuses on time, facilities and resources, community support and involvement, managing student conduct, instructional practices and support, teacher leadership, student leadership and professional development. Eighty-five percent of the district’s 1,757 teachers responded to the anonymous survey, which was conducted between March 15 and April 16. • • • Four schools had less than 70 percent of teachers respond positively to the statement “overall, my school is a good place to work and learn.” China Grove Elementary’s 43 percent of teachers agreeing with the statement was the lowest percentage. At Koontz Elementary, 55 percent agreed. Knollwood Elementary had 62 percent agree and Knox Middle had 67 percent agree. “These results show us areas of concern that we need to strengthen,” China Grove Principal Jenny White said. “It is our goal to provide an atmosphere where teachers and students are happy to come, and this survey gives us feedback as to where to focus our energies.” Based on survey results, school leadership is a major area of concern at China Grove. Only 5 percent of teachers feel the school provides an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. That’s down from 39 percent in 2008. Eight percent of teachers feel comfortable raising issues and concerns that are important to them and 20 percent feel the faculty and staff have a shared vision.

Tourism suffers brunt of Earl’s wrath
assOciated pRess
stop signs on a barricade halt passage across a flooded access road saturday at West dennis Beach on cape cod, Mass., after earl dumped rain Friday and saturday. chusetts, Earl finally made landfall Saturday morning near Western Head, Nova Scotia. It was blamed for the death of a man who drowned while trying to secure his boat near Halifax. The storm brought heavy sheets of rain and swift gusts, toppling some trees and knocking out power to more than 200,000 customers in Nova Scotia. There were numerous flight and ferry cancellations. Police said the road to the popular Peggy’s Cove tourist site near Halifax was closed to keep curious storm-watchers away from the dangerous, pounding surf.
Earl’s center was in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and was moving northeast at 52 mph. The Canadian Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for parts of Newfoundland. Earl had swooped into New England waters Friday night as a tropical storm with winds of 70 mph after sideswiping North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where it caused flooding but no injuries and little damage. The rain it brought to Cape Cod, Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard was more typical of the nor’easters that residents have been dealing with for
generations. Winds on Nantucket blew at around 30 mph, with gusts above 40 mph. The island got more than 2 inches of rain, while adjacent Martha’s Vineyard got more than 4 inches. Peter Judge, spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, said the damage was so minimal that the agency didn’t send out assessment teams as planned Saturday. “There’s nothing to assess at this point,” he said. “It wasn’t even a really bad rainstorm.”
RODANTHE (AP) — Coastal residents and vacationers shrugged off the fading effects of Hurricane Earl and got ready to enjoy Labor Day weekend as officials reopened the main highway linking the Outer Banks to the mainland Saturday. Hundreds of cars packed onto the Bonner Bridge as Highway 12 reopened around 7 a.m. The traffic also was slow because some pools of water remained on the road. The highway had been closed since overnight Thursday when water and sand blown by Earl blocked the route. Workers had to use bulldozers to help clear it and had to wait for some of the water to drain. The closure meant people who did not leave Hatteras Island and its seven villages before the storm were cut off from the mainland. While some homes flooded because of the storm, no injuries or major damage were reported. Most traffic Saturday morning headed south onto the island, as visitors made their way in to enjoy the final weekend of the summer vacation season. Wayne Hammond, a 47year-old mechanic from Baltimore, said he was initially supposed to vacation with his family for a week starting

YARMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — In the end, Earl’s worst damage in New England was to seasonal businesses hoping to end their summer on a high note. The tropical storm, far less intense than feared, brushed past the Northeast and dumped heavy, wind-driven rain on Cape Cod cottages and fishing villages but caused little damage. It left clear, blue skies in its wake. It was the perfect start to a Labor Day weekend that Cape Cod’s restaurants and hotels hoped to salvage after business was decimated ahead of the storm. “This traditionally for us is a sellout weekend,” said Voula Nikolakopoulos, one of the owners of Tidewater Inn in West Yarmouth, where business was down 80 percent. “I understand that we have to be careful, but I think all this hype was premature.” Massachusetts suffered a few hundred power outages, a handful of downed power lines and isolated flooding. Maine saw rain and churning surf but no gusts strong enough to produce damage. After skimming past North Carolina and Massa-

Bedbugs bite at Catawba College: School confirms four cases, works to eliminate pests SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Recent reports that bedbugs are on the rise nationwide hit home this week as several students at Catawba College found the pesky brown bugs living in their rooms. In the past seven years, the college has had 11 reports of bedbugs. “Six of those reports were confirmed,” said Tonia BlackGold, the school’s communication officer. “Unfortunately,
four of those were confirmed this year.” Black-Gold said there have been three cases found in Fuller Hall and one in Abernathy Village. Catawba has more than 600 students living on campus this year. “It is not a widespread outbreak,” she said. “We’re going to deal with it on a case-bycase basis.” Students who live in those residence halls have been relocated to vacant rooms on campus as Chamberlain Exter-
minators works to eradicate the blood-sucking bugs. “They will not be allowed back into those rooms until Chamberlain certifies that their chemicals have done the job, then housekeeping will come in and clean,” Black-Gold said. “We’re letting Chamberlain be the professional.” Bedbug bites can carry diseases, but they do not transmit to humans, according to Orkin Pest Control’s website orkin.com. Bites can cause itching and may also result in
swelling or blister-like skin inflammations. Senior Kourti Hester, who has lived on campus for the past four years, said she’s never had a problem with bedbugs and hasn’t heard much talk of them this year. She recalls several people who found the pests in their rooms during her freshman year. “A few people had them, but it was from not washing their sheets,” she said. Black-Gold said the college sent out flyers to notify stu-
dents of its protocol in response to bedbugs. “Bedbugs have become an increasing problem nationwide,” the flyers said. “The increase is believed to be due to the discontinued use of the toxic chemicals that are needed to control them.” The flyer gives students information about ways to prevent bedbugs and what to do if students suspect the pests are in their room. Students who suspect their room is infested with bedbugs

should immediately report it by using the college’s work order system, communicate with staff about the situation and wash all clothing and bedding. “We don’t want any bedbugs, obviously, but we are dealing with it,” Black-Gold said. At this time, there have been no confirmed cases of bedbugs at Livingstone College or Pfeiffer University. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
Baseball stadium lease renewal on county agenda BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
WAYne hinshAW/For the SALISBUrY PoSt
County commissioners will revisit possible terms for renewal of the Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium lease at Tuesday’s meeting. Smith Family Baseball’s existing lease is set to expire Sept. 30, and the team has an option to renew for another five-year term. County Manager Gary Page said he is recommending the same amended terms he did at the board’s Aug. 16 meeting. In a letter to commissioners, Page wrote that the proposed terms allow the team to be profitable and stable and resolve the question of ownership with the county at 75 percent and the city at 25 percent. They also allow for the receipt of $75,000 in contributions from the team and city for capital improvements, capping the county’s taxpayer expense at $5.1 million for construction and operation over the past 15 years. Attached to the letter is a copy of a letter from the president of the South Atlantic League, Eric Krupa, stating that the team has operated at a loss from 2005 through 2009. “As far as a profit and loss statement from them, we’re not going to get that,” Page said in an interview Thursday. “That’s proprietary information that I’m sure they wouldn’t want other teams to know about.” Also attached is a statement from Smith Family Baseball saying they have not made efforts to sell naming rights, but the value of the rights is estimated to be between $25,000 and $50,000 per

Two-day symposium will address plight of black and other minority males On paper at least, things probably should have turned out quite differently for Livingstone College head football coach Elvin James. He was born to a 15-year-old unwed mother, an alcoholic who died during a violent confrontation before age 40. His father was also an alcoholic and absent from his life. James was reared by his maternal grandmother, Jennie E. James, in an eastern North Carolina county where, according to the 2000 Census, fewer than 20 percent of all citizens 25 and older had college degrees. James makes no bones about the fact that his life could have taken a different path. He’s glad it did not. Black and other minority men in America are in a crisis, with staggering numbers in prison, strung out on drugs or selling them. James knows they’re noticeably absent from most college campuses, and, sadly, he also knows far too many black men are in the same boat as
Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who recently had trouble naming all eight of COACH ELVIN JAMES his children — by six different women, no less. “Minority men in America are in trouble,” James said recently while sitting in his office at Livingstone College. “If we don’t begin to immediately attack the many problems they face, we’re going to lose an entire generation of them.” To that end, James is excited about the two-day symposium being held in Charlotte Nov. 4-5 to address the plight of black and other minority males. The symposium is part of the 2010 Commemorative Classic, the second annual named contest between Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University — schools that played in the first black college football game Dec. 27, 1892, when

Topics will include health and wellness, relationship development, leadership development and gang violence recognition and prevention. Event organizers expect the symposium to be the precursor to an annual Black and Minority Institute. Black college football classics are nothing new, and arguably the most

famous one — the Bayou Classic, an annual clash between Southern University and Grambling State University established in 1974 — is held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Louisiana Superdome and televised on NBC. Other classics include the Battle of the Bay, featuring Hampton University and Norfolk State University; the Aggie-Eagle Classic, featuring North Carolina A&T State University and North Carolina Central University; and the Morehouse-Tuskegee Classic. Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr. and Johnson C. Smith University President Dr. Ronald L. Carter enjoy a good football game as much as the next person. They’re excited about this year’s Nov. 6 contest and hope for a recordbreaking crowd. But the leaders of two of North Carolina’s 11 historically black colleges and universities realize the potential for this year’s Commemorative Classic to truly make a difference isn’t on the gridiron where their student-athletes will showcase their talent but inside The

Mr. Mustache one of numerous kittens at shelter needing a home The Rowan County Animal Shelter has numerous kittens and cats waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. We call him Mr. Mustache. This special little guy came to the shelter as a stray. He is approximately 7 weeks old, needs a bit of weight put on, but, all in all, he’s happy, energetic and ready to go home with the first person willing to have him.
The shelter will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday. F r o m rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has
them all. Adoption fees are $70, a downpayment for spay/ neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isn’t already vaccinated for rabies, the person must agree to begin shots within three busi-
ness days. Rabies shots can be given as soon as the pet turns 4 months old. The animal shelter isn’t equipped with a medical facility, and cannot administer any procedures or treatment. A worker at the shelter will go over all information and gladly answer all questions from those adopting pets. Want to view animals at the shelter? Kennel hours are
Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.- p.m.; and Saturdays, 8-11 a.m. Office hours are MondayFriday, 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday, 8-11:30 a.m. To learn more about adopting a pet, call the shelter at 704-216-7768, or visit the shelter at 1465 Julian Road, Salisbury.

Carter and I see AfricanAs Livingstone’s head foot- American males every day, ball coach, James is gearing and it’s time society stops igup for the big game. But as a father of two — his daughter, a consultant living in Charlotte, was a Morehead-Cain Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his son, a senior at Pikeville Aycock High School in Goldsboro, has committed to play football at UNC next fall — he’s excited about the symposium and its potential impact. “When they say it takes a village to raise a child, I can relate to that,� said James, who has a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Elizabeth City State University and a master’s degree in physical education from North Carolina Central University. “I was part of that. I was adopted by my maternal grandmother because both of my parents were alcoholics and my mother had me at 15.� James hasn’t wavered from his initial thought that the symposium is a wonderful idea. “We’re having this symposium because we’re trying to save our kids,� he said. “I can identify with what they’re trying to establish because I was a product of the type of environment the symposium will address. I’m a football coach, but to me the kids are what it’s all about. Even in practice, I ask my guys to ‘give me something to grow on.’ In other words, I’m trying to ascertain what they learned in class that day. I always try to emphasize education. After all, there’s life after football, and education is a surefire way to turn things around with our minority males.� Jenkins and Carter are determined through the symposium and other ways to bring about change. They realize the very existence of Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University — along with 103 other HBCUs across America — is a profound way to address the plight of minority males. But they also recognize a profound need to devise ways to reach these men outside of higher education settings. They hope students from the Rowan-Salisbury and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems will attend the symposium because the way they see it, it’s never too early to start trying to teach young men about choosing the right paths or too early to put them face-to-face with positive men of color, men who in some instances grew up in circumstances not alto-

The board will consider approval of a resolution and bond order, formalizing its decision to reduce the bond amount from $18 million to $12 million.

Because the project serves a public purpose, the county could receive a rebate from the federal government equal to 35 percent of the interest paid on the bonds. The taxable interest rate in RBC Bank’s bid is 3.280 percent, but the effective interest rate to the county would be 2.132 percent. “This interest rate is a much better rate than we planned,â€?

Wendy Beeker, who moved back to Salisbury after being away for 17 years, recently opened Grayshores Trading Co. on South Main Street.

••• Even with the poor economy, downtown is nearly full. The retail vacancy rate is between 10 and 12 percent, Hemann said. The office vacancy rate is 7 or 8 percent, and residential is 5 percent. “That is very good considering the economy. A lot of people don’t have numbers like that,” Hemann said. “You have to have strong businesses to weather what we’re going through right now.” Hemann credits stalwart downtown anchors like Bernhardt’s Hardware, Innes Street Drug, Queen’s and the Stitchin’ Post for providing a consistent, stable presence that can launch new endeavors. Sometimes, downtown acts as a business incubator. At least three companies that left downtown last year moved to bigger locations in Salisbury — Habitat Restore, Havana Knights and Stout Studio Architecture. ••• While the city and Rowan County own the most downtown property, other significant owners include the Salisbury Post, the Wallace family, developer Lane Yates and Downtown Salisbury itself, which owns the Empire Hotel. Downtown property holds its value because of density, Hemann said. And because downtown has been the center of commerce for more than 250 years. “Strip centers come and go, but downtown remains,” he said. According to Hemann’s annual report, land values in downtown remain among the highest in Rowan County at $1.02 million per taxable acre. An acre of downtown land generates $12,110 in city and county taxes. By comparison, the value of a strip shopping center in Salisbury is around $580,000 per acre, which generates $6,873 in taxes. Bob Potter wanted to consider a shopping center for the new wine shop, but his wife wouldn’t let him. “Downtown is where we want to be,” Stephanie Potter said she told her husband, whom she married a week before they opened the store. “Downtown is the greatest place to have a business.” The Potters, Harrell and Beeker all live, as well as work, downtown. Downtown now has more than 140 residences, Hemann said. An acre of urban houses, such as those in Fulton Heights, is worth about $1 million and generates $11,944 in city and county taxes. An acre in a suburban development, which is typically one house in a subdivision like Neel Estates, is worth about $122,000, Hemann said. It generates $726 per

more going on,” she said. “People are really dedicated to shopping here and supporting it.” So far, business has been “really good,” she said. Grayshores, named for a road in Beeker’s New York hometown, features an eclectic mix of old and new furniture — think shabby chic — along with a variety of linens, bath products, books and home decor. “I wasn’t going to copy anyone else, and this feels a lot different,” Beeker said. “Different is hard to sell sometimes when people aren’t used to it.” Apparently, people were ready for different. Watching the reaction of former residents like Beeker who return to Salisbury is one of the best parts of Hemann’s job, he said. “They can see the growth that’s happened,” he said. “They notice that it’s different and vastly improved.” Hemann uses two words to describe Beeker and other new downtown tenants: “quality” and “experience.” Bob and Stephanie Potter worked at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, where he made wine and she worked in the tasting room. She’s been pairing food and wine for 30 years, since living on a vineyard in France. Harrell has a culinary degree, and Beeker has owned and operated three retail shops.

Expect ‘crazy people’ out on 9/11 anniversary
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) —
A crane hoisted a key piece of oil spill evidence to the surface of the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, giving investigators their first chance to scrutinize the blowout preventer, which failed to stop the gusher four months ago. It took 291⁄2 hours to lift the 50-foot, 300-ton blowout preventer from a mile beneath the sea to the surface. FBI agents were among the 137 people aboard the Helix Q4000 vessel, taking photos and video of the device.
Craigslist shuts down adult services section Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal fight over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section and replacing it with a bar that simply says “censored.” The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren’t enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It’s not clear if the closure is permanent, and
it appears to only effect ads in the United States. The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist. Craigslist has been caught for years in a murky legal fight that centers on how much responsibility the company bears for its ads, said Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law and computer science at Harvard University.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hiphop star Kanye West is still feeling the pain over his trophy grab from Taylor Swift last year — and he’s expressing his pain all over Twitter. West unleashed a torrent of emotions on his official Twitter account Saturday, acknowledging once again that he was wrong for jumping on stage, taking the trophy that Swift won at the MTV Video Music Awards and saying that

he ordered the SBI to cooperate with those tests. More court challenges are expected after an investigation by two former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials found that SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period, mostly by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense attorneys. In the case Holmes is arguing, the attorney claims an SBI computer analyst selectively went through his client’s computers, using key words and searching e-mails based on investigators’ theory of the crime.

GRAHAM (AP) — A defense attorney became the first of what’s expected to be a long line of lawyers attacking the credibility of the state’s crime lab in a trial. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that Durham lawyer Scott Holmes tried unsuccessfully Friday to get his client’s murder trial postponed so evidence processed by the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab could be independently tested.

NEW YORK (AP) — American Muslims are boosting security at mosques, seeking help from leaders of other faiths and airing ads underscoring their loyalty to the United States — all ahead of a 9/11 anniversary they fear could bring more trouble for their communities. Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked. One Sept. 11 protest in New York against the proposed mosque near ground zero is expected to feature Geert Wilders, the aggressively anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker. The same day in Gainesville, Fla., the Dove World Outreach Center plans to burn copies of the Quran. “We can expect crazy people out there will do things, but we don’t want to create a hysteria,” among Muslims, said Victor Begg of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan. “Americans, in general, they support pluralism. It’s just that there’s a lot of misinformation out there that has created confusion.” On Tuesday, the Islamic Society of North America will hold a summit of Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders in Washington “to address the growing tide of fear and intolerance” in the furor over the planned New York mosque. Adding to Muslim concern is a fluke of the lunar calendar: Eid al-Fitr, a joyous holiday marking the end of Ramadan, will fall around Sept. 11 this year. Muslim leaders fear festivities could be misinterpreted as celebrating the 2001 terror strikes.

their support again — if they even vote. At stake nationally is the balance of power in Washington, the tone for the remainder of Obama’s first term and his likely 2012 re-election bid. All 435 House seats as well as 37 Senate seats are on the ballot. The country also will elect 37 governors in races that will determine who oversees the once-a-decade redrawing of political districts. Republicans are hoping to capitalize on voters’ economic disillusionment, frustration with Obama and tea partygenerated enthusiasm.
Democrats are relying on a financial advantage, a robust get-out-the-vote operation and, mostly, the ghost of George W. Bush to curb an expected Nov. 2 shellacking. “My opponent had both hands on the wheel as he and President Bush drove this economy into the ditch,” says Fisher, a former lieutenant governor trying desperately to overcome a strong and wellfunded challenge by Republican Rob Portman, an ex-congressman who was a Bush budget director and trade representative. In Ohio and elsewhere, the
party that won control of Congress and the White House in the past two elections is facing the real possibility of losing power. Not that Ohio Democrats will acknowledge their dismal prospects with eight weeks to Election Day. “The mood of the public is fluid,” Strickland argues. “I don’t believe this is going to be a terrible year for Democrats. That verdict has not yet been reached.” True, but Ohio Democrats preside over a volatile electorate angered by a 10.3 percent unemployment rate, above the national average, and there’s no doubt that the economy — and Obama’s policies — is driving the fury of Ohioans and shaping races.

Just blocks from a middleclass backyard where Obama recently insisted “we’re on the right track,” voters take issue with that notion. “It’s the same old, same old rhetoric,” says Kelli Natale, as she walks her dog, Thor. The 25-year-old college graduate spent two years looking for work before being hired for $12 an hour at an organic certifying company. She’s doubtful about an improvement in the economy. Natale, who calls herself a left-leaning independent, was one of the legions of young people who enthusiastically embraced Obama in 2008. So who will she vote for? She pauses to think before saying, “I’m not sure.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Frustrated, discouraged and just plain mad, a lot of people who have lost jobs — or know someone who has — now want to see the names of Democrats on pink slips. And that’s jeopardizing the party’s chances across the country in November’s elections. In Ohio, a big swing-voting state, Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland is in a dogfight for re-election. Senate candidate Lee Fisher may be even worse off. As many as six House Democrats could lose their jobs this fall. Recession-fueled animosity is dominating every race, giving Republicans hope of huge victories. Like almost everywhere else, Ohio voters don’t much care for Washington, Wall Street or anything resembling the establishment. They grouse about every politician, including President Barack Obama, whom Ohioans played a critical role in electing. They fume over the nation’s teetering finances. “I don’t think we’ve seen the worst of it yet,” says Jarrod Davis, 26, a Republican. Adds independent Dan Sharpe, 41: “So far, nothing’s gotten better under the Democrats.” Both of these construction workers backed Obama and his party before, but they say Democrats can’t count on

Salisbury accountant, Harvard Business School seek funds for charity John P. Burke of Salisbury is proud of what his alma mater is doing for area charities. Burke, a retired certified public accountant, is among area Harvard Business School alumni who raise funds for charity by helping area executives sharpen their management skills. For the eighth year this fall, the Harvard Business School Club of
Charlotte will offer its Management Development Program. The MDP program allows midcareer executives to hone decision-making skills while discussing case studies in accounting, marketing, finance, operations, organizational behavior, leadership and ethics. Many of the instructors have jobs as CEOs and managing partners or principals in local
firms, according to Burke. Volunteer alumni of Harvard Business School, including Burke and 25 others, teach the course, using the case study method developed at Harvard. Cost of the 13week program is $1,800. According to the Charlotte Observer, the Harvard Business School Club “has donated — after absorbing the cost of books, food
and administration — about $165,000 to local charities, or about 80 percent of its tuition revenue.” Classes are held each Monday from 6 to 8:45 p.m. at the McColl Center of Queens University, at the corner of Selwyn Avenue and Wellesley Avenue in Charlotte. The class runs from Sept. 13 to Dec. 13. A snack is provided between 5:30 and 6 p.m. by the host organization.

Dell’s work cut out after losing bid to bag 3Par BY JESSICA MINTZ AP Technology Writer
EATTLE — Dell Inc. doesn’t have to start over in its quest to become a significant purveyor of technology for businesses after losing a multibillion dollar bidding contest for an obscure data-storage maker. But it won’t be easy, either, for Dell to shake its “Dude, you’re getting a Dell” image and move into the more profitable business of selling powerful behind-thescenes technology to other companies. Dell, which launched the bidding contest for 3Par Inc. on Aug. 16, conceded defeat this past week and said it won’t match the last offer from its archrival, HewlettPackard Co. HP raised the stakes to $33 per share, or about $2.07 billion — 83 percent above
S
Dell’s first offer and more than three times what 3Par stock was trading at then. Dell’s latest offer had been a dollar per share less, or about $2 billion. Dell was hoping to buy 3Par so it could diversify its business more quickly. Dell’s made-to-order computer business helped make PCs inexpensive and ubiquitous, but other companies including HP found ways to build even cheaper machines using contract manufacturers. Although HP was able to expand beyond the business of selling computers, Dell has remained very much a computer company, with more than half its revenue coming from PCs last fiscal year. Rising component costs and the PC industry’s race to

May 4, 2010: 3Par reports a net loss of $3.2 million on revenue of $194.2 million for the most recent fiscal year, which ended March 31. Aug. 13: 3Par shares close at $9.65 per share. Aug. 16: Dell Inc. announces offer to buy 3Par for $18 per share, or $1.13 billion. Aug. 23: Hewlett-Packard Co. counters with $24-per-share offer, worth $1.5 billion. Aug. 26: Dell announces higher offer of $24.30 per share, or $1.52 billion, and says 3Par has accepted. Companies disclose they altered agreement to make it slightly more painful for 3Par to accept another offer; 3Par would have to pay Dell a termination fee of $72 million, up from $53.5 million. Later in the day, HP responds with offer of $27 per share, or $1.69 billion. Aug. 27: Dell matches HP's $27-per-share offer. Hours later, HP boosts bid to $30 per share, or $1.88 billion. Aug. 28: 3Par says its board determined that HP's latest offer is superior to Dell's, and 3Par would terminate its previous deal with Dell. Dell still had three business days to match the HP offer. Sept. 2: 3Par announces that Dell has revised offer to $32 per share, or $2 billion, and termination fee that 3Par would have to pay Dell is raised to $92 million. Before that was announced, HP tops it with $33-per-share bid, or about $2.07 billion. Barely an hour later, Dell concedes and says it won't match HP's offer. Later in the day, 3Par's board approves HP's deal and pays Dell a termination fee of $72 million. — ASSoCIAteD PreSS

PepsiCo left wondering why it can’t be friends with band
CHICAGO (AP) — Burger King’s new ruler could help its empire expand. Burger King Holdings Inc. sealed a deal this past week to sell itself for $3.26 billion to 3G Capital, an investment firm with strong ties to Latin America. The fast-food chain’s chairman and CEO, John Chidsey, said the deal will help it expand more rapidly overseas. Chidsey, who will become co-chairman of the company after the tender offer is complete, said the $24-per-share deal also brings 3G Capital’s experience and contacts abroad. “Hopefully they’ll be able to even provide more of an accelerant to the fire,” he told the Associated Press. More than a third of Burger King’s locations are outside the U.S. That’s growing as the company shifts its expansion focus to other countries. In the past year, 90 percent of its new locations were built abroad. Chidsey declined to comment on specific strategies, deferring to 3G Capital. He also declined to comment on potential efforts to cut costs, including possible layoffs. Messages left for 3G Capital weren’t returned but the company told franchisees and investors in a letter on its website that it plans to invest in the brand and highlighted opportunities in Asia and Latin America. Burger King’s headquarters will remain in Miami. Burger King has more than 12,100 locations around the world and perennially lags its far larger competitor McDonald’s Corp. It struggled to keep up with its rival during the economy’s roller

coaster of the past two years. Its biggest problem: high unemployment among its most important, but notoriously fickle, group of customers — young men between 18 and 34, whom it has targeted with big burgers like the 930-calorie BK Quad Stacker and edgy ads featuring the creepy King character. But there are deeper reasons for five consecutive quarters of declines in sales at locations open at least a year. Burger King’s once-unique concept of flame-broiled burgers isn’t so rare these days, thanks to a boom in gourmet hamburgers from smaller competitors such as Five Guys and Culver’s. And its profits suffer from trying to match McDonald’s super-low prices, which has angered franchisees. “McDonald’s is just eating their lunch,” said Bob Goldin, an analyst at the food consulting firm Technomic Inc. “Burger King’s very heavily focused on a core audience of the younger male. And with that group, their attention goes to whoever has a better deal or whatever is hotter.” Analysts say Burger King needs a
new approach with the help of its new owner, including becoming more efficient and differentiating itself from McDonald’s by creating new menu items that will keep its customers coming back. It’s already had some success with its BK Ribs, which even at a high price of $7 for an eight-piece order, sold out earlier than expected this spring. The company’s also changing its breakfast menu. “This will give them more of an opportunity to develop a compelling menu,” Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy said. The company needs to work with its large group of franchise owners to brighten locations, UBS analyst David Palmer said. That will take time and money. Burger King will likely need the support of that massive base of franchise owners, who own most of its locations in the U.S. and with whom the restaurant chain has squabbled over its deeply discounted promotions. The National Franchisee Association said in a statement late Thursday that it welcomes the new ownership and was “encouraged by 3G Capital’s commitment to our long-term mutual success.” Burger King became publicly traded in 2006, four years after an earlier consortium of investment firms acquired the company. The group — TPG Capital, Bain Capital Partners and Goldman Sachs Funds — still owns 31 percent of Burger King’s outstanding shares and have agreed to tender their stock in the deal.

His flagship investment vehicle Rank Group is barely known outside financial circles. “He is the nearest thing to being a business loner,” says New Zealand business commentator and author Graeme Hunt, who predicted Hart’s move on Pactiv, the U.S. trash bag maker. The deal for Pactiv, the maker of Hefty brand trash bags, would create a packaging giant with sufficient bulk to strike exclusive packaging arrangements with global food conglomerates, such as Kraft.

declined to comment, referring all questions to PepsiCo. The ad is part of a campaign pushing the no-calorie Pepsi MAX. The spot with “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” is a remake of the company’s “Diner” Super Bowl commercial from 1995, but this time Pepsi MAX is pitted against Coke Zero. In the original, one of the best loved commercials from Super Bowl XXIX, delivery drivers from the rival soft drink makers form a shortlived friendship in a diner over music. Backed by the song “Get Together” from The Youngbloods in 1995, and War’s hit in this year’s ad, the drivers sample each other’s drinks and the Coca-Cola driver prefers the Pepsi product. In both ads, the friendship comes to an abrupt end. But the War members apparently weren’t amused. They have asked for a jury trial and “confiscation of unlawful profits” in amount to be determined. Original members listed in the lawsuit are Harold Brown, Lee Oskar Levitin, Howard Scott, and Morris Dickerson. Laurian Miller, daughter of Charles Miller, is also a plaintiff. “Pepsi is selling its billiondollar brand based on their voices and they have to pay for it,” Freundlich said.

Burger King’s crowns will go to private equity firm 3G capital under a deal valued at $3.26 billion.
NEW YORK (AP) — Members of the original funk band War say they can’t be friends with PepsiCo. They’re suing the soft drink maker for more than $10 million, saying it did not negotiate with them to use their song “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” in a new commercial. Even if PepsiCo and its agencies got rights from the music’s publishers or anyone else who owns them, attorney Ken Freundlich and his co-counsel Max Sprecher said the company should have negotiated with the artists too. In a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles, some of the group’s original members and a relative said they learned the 1975 hit was in the ad for Pepsi MAX only when the commercials launched in July. PepsiCo said in a statement it believes the lawsuit has no merit. “Pepsi has a long history of partnering with iconic celebrities and musicians and we value our relationship with the music and entertainment industry,” the company, based in Purchase, N.Y., said in a statement.

DELL FROM 10a rock-bottom prices, accelerated by the rise of cheap netbooks from competitors such as Acer Inc., combined to sap much of the profit out of Dell’s core business. Through a string of acquisitions, Dell has raced to follow IBM Corp., HP and other high-tech companies into the more lucrative business of selling datacenter hardware and consulting services. And while its servers do not gener-
ate as much revenue as its PC business, Dell is a leading maker of x86 servers, a low-end product for companies and data centers. Those servers are seeing a surge of demand as improvements in technology make them increasingly competitive with more expensive servers. In the second quarter, Dell was the second-largest maker of server computers by number shipped, according to Gartner Inc. But Dell’s ambitions have often been met with skepticism because of its lower-end focus, and because it started branching out later than its competitors. In the meantime, the market has grown more crowded; database
software maker Oracle Corp. began selling servers after acquiring Sun Microsystems in January, and networking equipment king Cisco Systems Inc. started to build its own servers last year. Even Dell’s biggest acquisition to date, Perot Systems, didn’t carry the weight Dell might have hoped, Forrester Research analyst Andrew Reichman said. The large technology-consulting business, which Dell bought last fall for $3.9 billion, isn’t influential enough “to really move the needle as much as Dell would need to be on an equal footing with HP and IBM,” Reichman said.

being a good place to work and learn,â&#x20AC;? Principal Rick Dunlap said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the principal to address these challenges.â&#x20AC;? Survey results indicate time is a primary concern for teachers at Koontz Elementary. Twenty-one percent of teachers feel the non-instructional time provided is sufficient. Dunlap said the majority of students require supervision from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within this window of time, we must choose between having the highly-qualified staff instructing our students or having others supervise for teachers to have non-instructional time beyond that built into a very tight schedule,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to seek ways to find a balance in this area.â&#x20AC;? Student conduct was another area of concern. About 42 percent of teachers feel school administrators consistently enforce rules for student conduct, while 59 percent feel they support teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to maintain discipline in the classroom. Dunlap said the staff is building a Positive Behavior Instructional System to address behavior problems.

TEACHERS FROM 12a Ken Sherrill was replaced by Trisha Hudson-Baptist, a former Charlotte-Mecklenburg assistant principal, this year. Rowan-Salisbury officials learned in July the school system had won a nearly $2.2 million grant to improve student achievement and increase the graduation rate at Henderson. Among the requirements for accepting the grant money were replacing the principal and at least half the teaching staff. • • • Teachers at Faith Elementary also have a positive work environment, with 95 percent agreeing the school is a good place to work and learn, up 11 percentage points from 84 percent in 2008. Principal Jacqueline Maloney said she creates an atmosphere of shared leadership, using the survey to guide the school improvement plan. Ninety-two percent of teachers feel the school improvement team provides effective leadership and 95 percent feel they receive feedback that can help them improve teaching. “I take everything to my staff and the mission and vision is developed by them” Maloney said. “It gives them ownership in what they’re doing and how they want to do it.” More than 97 percent of teachers feel the school is clean and well maintained. “Everyone pitches in and everyone helps here, it’s not just the custodians’ job to keep the school clean,” Maloney said. “We’re a collective unit here and if someone needs something we all come to their aid.” Maloney, who is starting her fourth year as principal at Faith, said she believes her excitement for education has been a driving force in the school’s improved working conditions throughout the past two years. “I love this school, I love coming to work,” she said. “I’m a very enthusiastic person and I think that’s contagious.” • • • North Rowan Elementary’s teachers seem to be on the same page in more ways than one. Ninety-two percent agree the school is a great place to work and learn, up 22 percentage points from 70 percent in 2008. The school received high scores for school leadership. Ninety-eight percent of teachers feel the faculty and staff have a shared vision, receive feedback that can help them improve teaching and proce-
dures for teacher evaluation are consistent. Principal Rick Hampton, who has been at the school for six years, said he can’t put his finger on one specific thing that’s helped improve the climate for teachers at North Rowan, but suspect it’s a combination of efforts. He said he’s worked to improve the school’s teacher retention rate to provide continuity. “We don’t have a high turnover rate like we used to,” he said. “That makes it easier for teachers to get to know one another and collaborate.” Ninety-two percent of teachers feel they are trusted to make sound professional decisions about instruction and 92 percent feel they are relied upon to make decisions about educational issues. Hampton said the administrative staff and teachers work together to provide a child-centered education to all students and to reduce class size. “We just try to put the children first,” he said. “I think most educators are in it because they want to see children succeed. “We want people who want to be here ... that’s important.” A solid 100 percent of teachers agreed they have sufficient access to instructional technology including computers, printers, software and Internet access. Hampton said he believes providing teachers with the tools they need to be successful in the classroom has given teachers the opportunity to provide students with more ways to learn than ever before. “We’ve been working very hard over the past few years to make our classrooms more 21st-century learning oriented,” he said. • • • Although more than 80 per-
cent of the Rowan-Salisbury teachers feel their school is a great place to work and learn, the system showed room for improvement in some areas. About half of teachers — 53 percent — feel efforts are made to minimize the amount of routine paperwork they are required to do. The problem seems to be widespread, as 55 percent of teachers statewide feel the same way. Statewide, about 81 percent of teachers feel reliability and speed of Internet connections are sufficient to support instruction. The district lags behind the state average with 65 percent of teachers who feel Internet connections are sufficient. About 67 percent of the district’s teachers feel school administrators support their efforts to maintain discipline in the classroom. Statewide that figure is 72 percent. The district received high marks for providing parents and guardians with useful information for student learning, with 97 percent of teachers who agree that’s the case. Facilities and resources also received positive feedback from teachers with 91 percent agreeing their school environment is clean and well maintained, and 90 percent who feel the physical environment of classroom support teaching and learning. • • • Eighty-seven percent of Kannapolis City Schools teachers feel their school is a great place to work and learn, up 4 percentage points from 83 percent in 2008. The school system had a 94 percent participation rate with 416 of 443 teachers responding to the survey. Less than 70 percent of teachers feel efforts are made to minimize the amount of routine paperwork they are required to do, a consistant problem on the state and local
level. Rowan-Salisbury Like schools, Kannapolis received high scores for facilities and resources. Ninety-eight percent of teachers feel they have sufficient acess to reliable communication technology including phones, faxes and email and 92 percent who agree the school environment is clean and well-maintained. Shady Brook Elementary received the district’s lowest satisfaction rating from teachers with 83 percent agreeing the school is a good place to work and learn. Fred L. Wilson Elementary received the highest marks with 93 percent. • • • Visit ncteachingconditions.org to find out more information about the survey and view a complete list of statewide, district and individual school results.

Upsets rule in Labor Day golf BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
Ken Clarke and Chris Owen haven’t done anything the easy way lately. They spent last Sunday scrambling to qualify for the championship flight in this weekend’s Labor Day FourBall tournament at the Country Club of Salisbury, winning a nine-team sudden death playoff. Their reward was a No. 16 seed and match with topseeded Roy and Glenn Dixon in Saturday’s opening round. “It would have been an wayne hinshaw/saLisBUrY post embarrassment if we hadn’t richard plummer's body eng- gotten back here,” said lish didn't help the putt go in. Owen, who paired with
Clarke to finish second overall a year ago. “We had to find our way.” “Yeah — and we did the same thing last year,” added Clarke. “We had to win a playoff to get in and then we finished as runnersup. So far, it’s sort of a repeat.” They certainly hope so. Clarke and Owen kicked off the upset-filled first round with a headline-grabbing surprise, stunning the Dixons by 3 and 2. “Those guys shot a 62 in the qualifying (round),” Owen said. “You look at the sheet and you’re thinking, ‘What do you have to do to beat them?’ ” It wasn’t easy. The Dixons were two holes up after five
and seemed to be cruising into the second round. “There was no pressure on us,” Owen insisted. “We weren’t supposed to win. Everybody has to come beat us.” They rallied for consecutive birdies and took their first lead of match with a par on No. 9. “Then we birdied 14 and 16,” said Clarke. “We made some nice putts on the back nine. That really helped.” It was Clarke who finished off the Dixons on the 16th. He slid a 15-foot putt for birdie into the cup to end it, moments after Roy Dixon — the Salisbury High School senior and defending state individual champion — tapped a 10-footer that stayed on the edge.

steve Yang blasts out of the sand trap onto the eighth green. Owen and Clarke will face father-son tandem Al and Kevin Lentz, the eighth seed, in today’s second round. They advanced by edging 2008 champions John and Johnny Kyger by 2 and 1. “It feels good just to be moving on,” said Owen. “The
Dixons, they’re well-known around here and members of the Country Club. And everyone knows how good Roy is. Our approach was just to come in, do our best and have fun.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Blue Bears now 0-2 BY RICKY ROGERS sports@salisburypost.com
The Blue Bear football team fell on Newberry 55 the road to LStone 0 the Newberry College Wolves Saturday, 55-0. Newberry got off to a fast start taking the opening kickoff back 67 yards to the Livingstone 28-yard line. Less than two minutes later the Wolves put the ball in the end zone through the air for a 7-0 lead. The Blue Bears’ first offensive drive lasted only three plays and went two yards and ended with a punt. It never got better. Newberry increased its lead to 14-0 with 9:44 left in the first quarter. The Wolves marched 48 yards on five plays to go up 21-0. Livingstone’s sophomore quarterback Curtis Edens had a pass picked off and taken back for a score and the Blue Bears were down 28-0 after one quarter. It was 35-0 at halftime. Livingstone got the kickoff to start the second half and on its third play from scrimmage fumbled the ball away to Newberry. The Wolves were able to tack on a field goal off the turnover to go up 38-0. On the next Livingstone possession Edens was intercepted. Sophomore running back Miles Harris led the team with 18 rushing yards. Edens passed for 47 yards on eight completions. Defensively, linebacker Bryan Aycoth led the way with eight tackles including three for a loss of yards. Junior Shawntez Jones also added seven tackles. Devonta Harmon intercepted a pass. The Blue Bears will be home next Saturday when it plays host to crosstown rival Catawba in a 6 p.m. contest in a battle for the Mayor’s Cup.

Catawba loses opener BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
The final, painful seconds ticked off the clock on SatSt. Aug’s 20 urday, and CatawCatawba 17 ba defensive beast Brandon Sutton stared at the night sky above Shuford Stadium in dismay and disbelief. The scoreboard read St. Augus-
tine’s 20, Catawba 17, and it may as well have been 99-0. A loss is a loss, and Catawba’s football team, eager for a turnaround season, is 0-1. “Our guys hung together all the way, and we never split,” Catawba head coach Chip Hester on a field where the expected celebration had turned into a solemn wake. “But in the end, you have to execute.” The official stat sheet showed Catawba with just four penalties for

40 yards, but they came at bad times. Fans will remember a sure touchdown that receiver Eric Morman, who has 59 career catches, bobbled in the end zone, but there were many critical drops. “We left a lot of plays on the field,” Hester said. “They just played better than us.” St. Aug’s linebacker Steven Stanback made 14 tackles, and QB Joaquin Green threw for 202 yards

HAMPTON, Ga. — Jamie McMurray believed he had the fastest car from the first practice to the last lap Saturday night. McMurray proved the point by taking the lead for good on the final restart and holding off Kyle Busch to win the Great Clips 300 Nationwide Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Busch, trying to become the first driver in the 28-year history of the Nationwide Series to win 11 races in a season, fell short in his late attempt to catch McMurray. Busch dropped from first to
third as McMurray took the lead coming out of pit row following the final caution flag on the 167th of 195 laps. “He definitely wanted to get in front on the restart,” said McMurray’s crew chief, Tony Eury Sr. “He got out in the middle and got in front. That’s the kind of move you have to make to win the race.” Busch led the most laps in the race but finished second, less than a second behind McMurray. Carl Edwards was third. Busch was slowly cutting into McMurray’s lead before running associated press

and two TDs behind a young offensive line. Sutton sacked Green hard on his first passing attempt, but his white jersey stayed pretty clean after that. “We’ve got a feeling right now we don’t want to ever feel again,” Sutton said. “We all take responsibility for this loss. There won’t be any fingerpointing. We just have to learn from
Jamie McMurray celebrates.
HAMPTON, Ga. — Denny Hamlin started chasing the championship during qualifying Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Mired in a bit of a midseason slump, Hamlin showed signs of turning things around by claiming the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race with a speed of 187.380 mph. He edged traditionally strong qualifier Ryan Newman, who’ll start from the outside of the front row after a lap of 187.070. The rest of the top five for the Emory Healthcare 500 was Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart.
“I’m a very bad qualifier,” Hamlin said, “so I’ll take it.” He claimed the eighth pole of his career and the 50th for Joe Gibbs Racing, which won its first pole with Bobby Labonte at Martinsville in 1995. Hamlin has five wins this season, but it’s been nearly three months since his last victory. He’s coming off a 34th-place finish at Bristol and is fifth in the point standings. While that’s still safely within the 12-driver Chase for the Championship, which will be set at Richmond next week, Hamlin wants to recapture the dominance he showed over a 10race stretch that included five wins and two other top-five finishes.

Race results
For the second straight game the Lakewood BlueClaws pitchers, led by Julio Rodriguez, stymied the bats of the Kannapolis Intimidators as the BlueClaws struck out 15 hitters in a 3-0 victory. Rodriguez (5-1) went six innings with 11 strikeouts, allowing just two hits with one walk for the win in his final start of 2010. After a one-out walk in the fourth, the Intimidators (33-35) saw 17 straight batters go down in order to end the ballgame. Over the last two games, the BlueClaws (41-26) have had 14 three-batter innings and just four innings in which the Intimidators did not go down in order.

CATAWBA FroM 1B our mistakes.” QB Patrick Dennis carried the Indians, completing 24 of 40 passes for 267 yards and two TDs. Dennis was also the leading rusher, which isn’t supposed to happen. “I don’t think anyone has any fear of me running,” Dennis said. “But our offensive line, even with three guys in new DENNIS positions, was tremendous. They opened a lot of running lanes and passing lanes. I never felt like St. Aug’s stopped us, but we were stopping ourselves a lot.” Grayson Downs, a key blocker was injured (shoulder). That was a factor in Catawba not running more. It was still scoreless, and St. Aug’s was lining up for a field-goal attempt in the second quarter when an illegal participation flag on fourth down revived their drive. They cashed in six on a pass from Green to Joné Harris. Catawba answered with a 71-yard drive to tie, almost exclusively through the air. Dennis squeezed a 21-yard pass through a tight window to streaking Gerron Bryant for a high-light film score, and Thomas Trexler’s PAT gave the Indians a 7-6 halftime lead. The Indians could have added to their lead in the third quarter, but Brandon Bunn couldn’t hang onto a pass on third-and-2, and Catawba settled for Trexler’s 43-yard field goal and a 10-6 edge. That lead was short-lived. The Falcons retook control at 14-10 with a 61-yard drive, scoring with 9:05 left in the third quarter and putting pressure on Catawba. A key stop by Sutton when St. Aug’s had fourth-and-1 at the Catawba 25 early in the fourth quarter gave the Indians the ball, and Dennis led a push to the St. Aug’s 31 with 11 minutes left. Backto-back drops halted the drive. Then Catawba had two penalties on one play — a hold and a personal foul — to wreck its next possession.

Walters Sanders broke a 23-yard scoring burst on a fourth-and-1 play that iced the game for St. Aug’s with 3:17 remaining. Bunn caught a 9yard TD pass from Dennis with 13 seconds left to make the final score closer. “The dropped pass in the end zone was a blessing for us, but those things happen in football,” St. Aug’s coach Mike Costa said. “I’m just proud of my guys to hang on. Catawba is a very good team, and they kept at us right to the wire.”

LABOR DAY FroM 1B That may have been the most eyebrow-raising upset in the first round, but it wasn’t the only one. Second-seeded Alex and Todd Pope were beaten by 15th-seeded brothers Phil and David Miller; and third-seeded Christopher McCoy and Fred Corriher were edged by Salisbury High freshman Eric Edwards and first-time entrant Ken Ford, the 14th seed. “It just goes to show,” said Dale Snyder, a tournament assistant. “There are no upsets in the championship flight. Anyone can win.” Phil Miller, who teamed with Jim Christy to capture last year’s trophy, agreed. “Everyone in this flight has the ability to post low scores,” he said. “I know Roy and his dad did a great job in the qualifying, but at the end of the day, it’s all about who’s making putts. And today we were making them.” The Millers prevailed 3 and 2, a convincing margin, and the proof was in the putting. “We struggled early,” David Miller reported. “But we turned
The NFL notebook ... On a day Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford found out he’ll be the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams, Heisman winners Matt Leinart and Troy Smith found themselves looking for new teams. It was cut down Saturday in the NFL, with teams required to trim their rosters to 53 players. Leinart, the 2004 Heisman winner from USC, was released by the Arizona Cardinals, who will open the season on Sept. 12 with Derek Anderson at quarterback against Bradford and the Rams.
RACE FroM 1B out of laps at the end of the race. McMurray, who raced to his first Nationwide Series win in Atlanta in 2002, won for the first time since 2004 in Darlington. He has two Sprint Cup wins this year. “I think Jamie is showing everybody how good he is this year,” Edwards said. McMurray started seventh but said “We unloaded as the fastest car here on the first practice.” “We just had a really good day,” McMurray said. “At the end we just had tons of speed and certainly getting out in front on that last restart was critical. ... Fortunately we got a jump there and got ahead of Kyle. The clean air out front is huge.” Kevin Harvick finished fourth, followed by Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano. Jason Leffler, Ryan Newman, Paul Menard and rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. completed the top 10. Busch will have to try another week for his record 11th win of the season.

egy helped him look like the driver to beat in the middle of the race. Harvick left the second caution of the race on lap 60 in 14th place after taking on fresh tires while Busch and most other leaders remained on the track. The fresh tread made an immediate dramatic difference as Harvick began passing cars with ease. Harvick took the lead from McMurray on lap 70. As he neared the midpoint of the race, Harvick had pushed his lead over the second-place Busch to a bewildering margin of 11 seconds. Harvick led by about 13 seconds before he finally took his turn on pit row for gas and tires on lap 122 of the 195-lap race, giving Busch an opening to reclaim the lead. “Harvick, with that little show he put on in the middle of the race, we knew tires would be big at the end,” Eury said. Pole-sitter Kasey Kahne was in the top 10 after the third caution before his hopes of winning ended when a problem with his right front fender forced him off the track. He was three laps down when he left pit row and finished 19th.
birdie on the eighth hole. “I’ve been telling people that’s my hole,” he said. “Right now I own it. I’ve birdied that hole seven times in a row over the last two years.” The Millers will meet Salisbury High juniors Troy Beaver and Alex Nianouris, 2 and 1 winners over Dru Davis and Derick Lipe, in today’s second round. Edwards and Ford advanced by hanging on for a 1-up victory over McCoy and Corriher. “We were three up with five (holes) to play,” said Edwards. “Then we kind of messed around. We were confident, but so were they. They knew they still had a chance.” Added Ford: “They hit some great shots. We didn’t. Now it doesn’t matter who we play. I have the luxury of not having any perspective regarding who’s good and who’s not.” Most likely, it won’t matter. • NOTES: Edwards and Ford will wAyne hInShAw/saLisBUrY post face sixth-seeded Mallory McLee Voncannon chips a shot from the edge of the sand trap near the Daniel and Christy in today’s second round.

QUALIFYING FroM 1B “I feel like the last 10 races have definitely been up and down for our team,” he said. “We were on such a hot streak there. We kind of got spoiled. The regular season was kind of irrelevant at that point because we knew we were going to get in the Chase.” Hamlin said the team started racing for victories instead of points. “We’re going to treat these next two weeks as if we’re Chase racing,” he said. “We found ourselves going for wins so much, going allout for wins, that it probably hurt us in the long run. These next two weeks, we’re going back to points racing.” Hamlin wanted to get that new attitude started with a strong qualifying run, and that’s just what he got from his No. 11 Toyota Camry. “We brought our best stuff,” he said. “I’m trying to get cautiously optimistic, but that’s the fastest car I’ve ever had on the race track. It was very, very, very good.” If all goes according to plan, Hamlin will have a couple of high finishes — maybe even another win or two — heading into the 10-race Chase. “I’m trying to do the best I can to pretend the Chase starts here,” he said. “Hopefully, we can start some momentum now, so we’re really hitting our stride when the Chase starts.” Failing to make the 43-car field were Jason Leffler, Landon Cassill, Scott Riggs and Todd Bodine.

Texas wins Associated Press
The Top 25 roundup ... HOUSTON — Tre’ Newton ran for three touchdowns, while quarterback Garrett Gilbert was up and down in his first college start for Texas. Gilbert, who threw four interceptions filling in for Colt McCoy in the loss to Alabama in the BCS title game, didn’t turn the ball over in this one. Texas (1-0) was stopped on fourth down at the 1-yard line on its first drive and settled for a 51-yard field goal on the second after another stalled drive. The Longhorns finally got going on their first full drive of the second quarter taking a 10-3 lead on a 1-yard TD run by Newton. Then the defense came alive with a sack on Taylor McHargue that caused a fumble. Keenan Robinson returned it 10 yards for a score to push the lead to 17-3 and Texas was on its way. Sam McGuffie had 14 carries for 47 yards for Rice (0-1) in his Owls debut after sitting out for a year as a transfer from Michigan. No. 6 TCU 30, No. 24 Oregon St. 21 ARLINGTON, Texas — Andy Dalton ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score to make up for his two interceptions and No. 6 TCU opened with a win over No. 24 Oregon State. Dalton became TCU’s winningest quarterback, his 30th victory snapping a tie with “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh, who had held the mark alone since the mid-1930s until being matched last year after the Frogs’ first undefeated regular season since 1938. Brothers Jacquizz and James Rodgers both scored touchdowns for Oregon State (0-1) in their first college game in their home state. No. 7 Oklahoma 31, Utah St. 24 NORMAN, Okla. — DeMarco Murray ran for 218 yards and two touchdowns and converted a key fourth down, helping No. 7 Oklahoma survive an unexpected scare from Utah State. Jamell Fleming secured the 800th win in the program’s history by intercepting Diondre Borel’s pass in the final 5 minutes. The Sooners (1-0) are only the seventh Division I school to reach that mark, joining a handful of powerhouses including Michigan, Texas and Notre Dame. Borel threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, but the Aggies (0-1) couldn’t quite prevent Oklahoma’s 31st straight victory at home. No. 8 Nebraska 49, Western Kentucky 10 LINCOLN, Neb. — Redshirt freshman Taylor Martinez ran for 127 yards and three touchdowns and passed for 136 yards in a sensational debut that led No. 8 Nebraska over Western Kentucky. Martinez, the only redshirt or true freshman quarterback to start a season opener for Nebraska (1-0), ran 46 yards for a touchdown on the third play from scrimmage. Coach Bo Pelini kept the identity of his starting QB under wraps until about a half-hour before the game. Bobby Rainey ran 30 times for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown for Western Kentucky (0-1). No. 9 Iowa 37, Eastern Illinois 7 IOWA CITY, Iowa — Adam Robinson ran for 109 yards and three touchdowns in the first half for Iowa. Senior Ricky Stanzi threw for 229 yards and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes (1-0), who won their 10th straight season opener under coach Kirk Ferentz. Iowa has its highest preseason ranking in 22 years, and the Hawkeyes made quick work of the FCS Panthers (0-1). Robinson scored on TD runs of 2 and 4 yards, and Paki O’Meara blocked a punt and returned it 42 yards to put the Hawkeyes ahead 21-0 late in the first quarter. Iowa got a brief scare when Stanzi landed awkwardly in the second quarter, but he quickly returned and played until the game was well in hand. No. 11 Oregon 72, New Mexico 0 EUGENE, Ore. — Kenjon Barner replaced suspended running back LaMichael James for Oregon and ran for a careerhigh 147 yards and four touchdowns before catching another score. Quarterback Darron Thomas, making his debut at starter for Oregon (1-0), completed 13 of 23 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. The Ducks had a record 720 yards in total offense. Barner was subbing for James, who was suspended for a game after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge stemming from a conflict with an ex-girlfriend. No. 19 Penn St. 44, Youngstown St. 14 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Freshman Rob Bolden threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns and Chaz Powell had a 100yard kickoff return for a score for Penn State. Coach Joe Paterno got his 395th career victory by starting a true freshman at quarterback in a season opener for the first time in his 45 years as coach. Brett Brackett caught two touchdowns for the Nittany Lions (1-0). The Penguins lost in Eric Wolford’s debut as coach. No. 22 Auburn 52, Arkansas St. 26 AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 186 yards and three more scores to help No. 22 Auburn beat overmatched Arkansas State. Newton, a junior college transfer who started his career at Florida, dashed up the middle for a 71-yard touchdown in the second quarter. No. 23 Georgia 55, Louisiana-Lafayette 7 ATHENS, Ga. — Aaron Murray passed for three touchdowns and ran for another in his first college game to lead Georgia. Despite the absence of top receiver A.J. Green, Murray completed 16 of 24 passes for 194 yards. Kris Durham caught two TD passes. The 55 points was Georgia’s highest since Nov. 6, 2004, when the Bulldogs won 62-17 at Kentucky. Georgia (1-0) visits South Carolina next week. Louisiana-Lafayette (0-1) scored on Chris Masson’s 60yard pass to Ladarius Green late in the second quarter.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After a tough Alabama 48 week for S. Jose St. 3 the defending national champions, No. 1 Alabama enjoyed its dress rehearsal before 100,000-plus fans. The established stars — minus Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and defensive end Marcell Dareus — made big plays and some young understudies also got plenty of time on stage in the Crimson Tide’s opening 48-3 route of San Jose State on Saturday night. It was a good night to be without the injured Ingram (knee) and the suspended Dareus, both lost this week. The backups played much of the game, anyway, after the Tide raced to a 31-3 halftime lead over the Spartans. Coach Nick Saban had few major complaints. After all, his team scored touchdowns on its first two possessions instead of basking in last season’s glory or getting caught looking ahead to No. 19 Penn State. ”I was really sort of pleased with the effort, the attitude, the intensity, the way our team was ready to play and focused on what they need to do to try and create an identity for themselves,” Saban said. “I thought we really

Alabama outgained the Spartans 591175. Ingram’s sub, Trent Richardson, ran for 66 yards and two touchdowns and had three catches for 46 yards before sitting out the second half. He scored on runs of 4 and 39 yards for an offense that uncorked plenty of big plays. Greg McElroy mostly seemed to be playing pitch and catch, completing 13 of 15 passes for 218 yards before leaving after only one series of the second half. He had a 48-yard touchdown pass to a
wide-open Marquis Maze on a go route down the right sideline. Julio Jones made the most dramatic play with a diving, one-handed grab for a 29-yard touchdown from backup quarterback A.J. McCarron early in the second quarter. He finished with six catches for 93 yards and gained 13 yards on an end around to set up the Tide’s first touchdown. Jones said it was the best catch of his career. “I’ve made some great catches in practice, but not in a game,” he said. Guard Barrett Jones was even more impressed. “Honestly, I went crazy,” he said. “That was one of the

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Ryan MalArkansas 44 lett’s HeisTenn. Tech 3 man Trophy campaign began as planned, and he had plenty of help from one of the Southeastern Conference’s most dynamic receivers. Mallett threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Joe Adams, and No. 17 Arkansas breezed to a 44-3 win over Tennessee Tech on Saturday night. The Razorbacks, sporting their highest preseason ranking since 1990, recovered quickly from a sloppy start thanks to Mallett’s accuracy and Adams’ elusiveness. Adams caught six passes for 138 yards. “We’ve got to get him more touches,” coach Bobby Petrino said. “When that ball’s under his arm, he’s special.” Mallett threw for 30 touchdowns a season ago and became an immediate Heisman candidate when he decided to
pass up the NFL for another season with the Razorbacks. He missed on just two of his first 18 throws, with the only blemishes a deflected pass that was intercepted and a dropped ball by a receiver that should have been a touchdown. He finished the night 21 of 24. “We really had 22 — just one was to the other team,” Mallett said. Mallett’s 85-yard touchdown pass to Adams in the second quarter was the longest completion of his Arkansas career, and the Hogs led 23-3 at halftime. On the long touchdown, Adams outran the Tennessee Tech defenders down the sideline even though at least one appeared to have a good angle to catch him. Adams also scored the game’s final touchdown, a 15yard reception in the third quarter that included a nifty move immediately after the catch. “Whenever I touch the ball, I try to make guys look silly,”
No Tebow, no problem Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — No. 4 Florida Florida 34 opened the Miami, Ohio 12 p o s t - T i m Tebow era with a resounding thud, maybe the sound of high expectations crashing to the ground. The Gators used four interceptions, several red-zone stops and Jeff Demps’ long touchdown run to beat heavy underdog Miami (Ohio) 34-12 Saturday. But the real story was Florida’s anemic offense, the one quarterback John Brantley had hoped to “keep rolling” after waiting three years behind Tebow. Instead, Brantley and the Gators spent most of the season opener in reverse. There were fumbles, bad snaps, poor throws, several penalties and a whole lot of frustration in The Swamp. Brantley completed 17 of 25 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He had a 10yarder to Omarius Hines that was the offense’s longest play of the day until Demps’ got loose for a 72-yarder in the fourth. Brantley also threw a 25-yard TD pass to Chris Rainey with 1:21 remaining. That fourth-down pass bounced off a teammate before Rainey hauled it in.
greatest plays I’ve ever seen. I ran down the field and hit him in the chest. Wow, that was unbelievable. “ The Tide had seven firsttime starters on defense, but wasn’t challenged by an offense that averaged 13.8 points last season. The first down totals best told the tale of the lopsided game: Alabama 30, San Jose State 7. All in all, it was practically a scrimmage designed to break in the newly expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium. The announced crowd of a sellout 101,821 fans got to see their Tide — which has lost two games the past two season — beat up on a team that only won a pair last season. Ingram had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after injuring it late in Monday’s practice. He watched from the sidelines in his No. 22 jersey and sweat pants. Dareus was declared ineligible for two games on Thursday for accepting improper benefits from an agent in taking two trips to Miami. Alabama is appealing, but there’s no guarantee either will be back for next week’s showdown with No. 19 Penn State. Jones said the week of bad news with Ingram and Dareus weren’t an issue. “It ain’t a distraction unless you let it be a distraction,” he said. “We’ve got to stay levelheaded.”

ryan Mallett was 21 of 24. Adams said. “Coach is always preaching to make one guy miss. I made that one guy miss, and the rest just happened.” Dennis Johnson, Broderick Green and Ronnie Wingo Jr. each ran for touchdowns. Those three running backs are competing along with Knile Davis for playing time. Green led the foursome with nine carries. Johnson and Davis both fumbled in the first half, but the Razorbacks (1-0) recovered both. Mallett threw his interception, and although the Golden Eagles didn’t capitalize, Tennessee Tech’s Dustin Dillehay could hold his head high after coming up with the turnover.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West W. Virginia 31 V i r Coastal 0 ginia’s offense looked as if it was still on summer vacation for most of the first half. Then quarterback Geno Smith got the Mountaineers moving against an FCS opponent in his first career start. Smith threw two touchdown passes and showed maturity in the pocket, while Noel Devine rushed for 111 yards and a score, leading No. 25 West Virginia to a 31-0 win over Coastal Carolina. The Mountaineers crawled to a 10-0 halftime lead before an offense led by Smith and Devine scored on three of its first four drives of the second half. The Chanticleers’ focus on Devine allowed Smith to thrive, although most of his completions came on short, simple routes. Coastal Carolina was limited to 186 yards of offense but will go home with a $350,000 payout. The closest the Chanticleers of the Big South Conference came to scoring was after Dominique Davenport returned an interception 37 yards to the West Virginia 21 late in the second quarter, but Brandon Hogan intercepted Zach MacDowall. Zach MacDowall went 13 of 26 for 119 yards. Coastal Carolina’s Justin Durham missed field goal tries of 47 and 42 yards. “I told our guys that this will be the best team we face all year,” said Coastal Carolina coach David Bennett. “Great first half, but there’s two halves to football and we’ve got to be able to play both halves.”
The offense had few other highlights. Deonte Thompson, who was miffed by the perception that he had bad hands last year, dropped a perfectly thrown deep ball in the end zone. Mike Pouncey, who moved from guard to center this year, airmailed one snap over Brantley’s head and chunked two others into the ground. The offensive line looked every bit like a patchwork unit.

Mountaineers rally for win Associated Press
CHATTANOOGA, Tn. — Quarterback DeAndre Presley scooped App. St. 42 up a fumble by Matt Cline Chatt. 41 after completing a pass to him and ran it in from 33 yards out, capping a 28-point Appalachian State fourth quarter in a 42-41 victory over Chattanooga on Saturday. It was the 21st consecutive Southern Conference victory for the Mountaineers, who lost in the Football Championship Series semifinals last season. Chattanooga got within a point on a 3yard run by quarterback B.J. Coleman with 51 seconds left. The Mocs tried for a 2-point conversion, but Coleman’s pass was incomplete and Appalachian State recovered an onside kickoff. Presley completed 22 of 29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers. Coleman was 23-for-37, also for 340 yards, and threw for three touchdowns for the Mocs. Trailing 35-14 one play into the fourth quarter, Appalachian State tied the game in a span of 3:53. Presley completed passes of 48 and 26 yards to set up Cedric Baker’s 3yard run to make it 35-21. Buster Skrine fumbled the ensuing kickoff, suffering a dislocated shoulder on the play, and the Mountaineers got the ball at the Chattanooga 33, leading to a Presley scoring run from the 4. Appalachian State got the ball back quickly again, at the Chattanooga 11, when Coleman fumbled after being sacked by Jabari Fletcher. Baker scored the tying touchdown on a 7-yard run. Chattanooga led 28-7 at halftime. A 46yard pass from Coleman to Brian Sutherland set up a 3-yard second-quarter scoring run by Coleman. The Mocs completed the first-half scoring with a 67-yard drive in three plays. After Sutherland ran for 34 yards and Coleman hit Joel Bradford for 24 yards to the 9, running back Chris Awuah found Marlon Anthony with a pass for the score. The Mocs gained momentum early. Mike Hammons’ 29-yard field goal opened the scoring after J.D. Dothard recovered a fumble by Appalachian State’s Travaris Cadet and returned it 26 yards to the Mountaineers’ 25. After an Appalachian State punt, Chattanooga made it 9-0 on a 53-yard pass from B.J. Coleman to Chris Pitchford. Hammons missed the extra point. Appalachian State responded with a 52yard scoring drive, ending in a 2-yard run by Presley, but Coleman’s 36-yard scoring pass to Bradford put the Mocs ahead 16-7.
Notre Dame wins in Kelly’s debut Associated Press
The college roundup ... SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Brian Kelly looked around at a packed stadium and saw — fittingly enough — a sea of kelly green shirts. On a day of firsts for Notre Dame’s new head coach, highlighted by a 23-12 win over Purdue, the colorful and enthusiastic crowd stood out. They were actually rooting for his team. “Maybe this is just my background, but anytime I’ve gone into a stadium with 81,000, I’ve always played up to that opponent. Now, it was 81,000, and it was our people,” Kelly said. “The crowd was into it and it was a great advantage.” Michigan 30, UConn 10 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Denard Robinson, accounted for 383 yards and two touchdowns in his first game as Michigan’s starting quarterback, leading the Wolverines to a 30-10 win over UConn on Saturday at the bigger-than-ever Big House. Jacksonville State 49, Mississippi 48, 2OT OXFORD, Miss. — On the final crazy play of a crazy game, Jacksonville State running back Calvin Middleton found himself in the middle of a mass of bodies as quarterback Coty Blanchard lofted a 2point conversion pass toward the end zone. Somehow, through the arms and legs, Middleton came down with the football as the Gamecocks celebrated a stunning 49-48 victory over Mississippi in double overtime. “Without a doubt, it’s the worst loss of my career,” Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said. Tusculum 16, Findlay 3 The Tusculum defense forced three turnovers and recorded nine sacks as the Pioneers defeated host Findlay, 16-3. Tusculum is off to its first 2-0 start since 2002. Gardner-Webb 28, Brevard 14 BOILING SPRINGS — Freshman Juanne Blount carried 18 times for 134 yards and a touchdown Saturday night to lead Gardner-Webb to a 28-14 win over Brevard College. Georgetown 20, Davidson 10 DAVIDSON — Georgetown quarterback Scott Darby threw for 130 yards anda touchdown and rushed for 58 yards and another score to lead the Hoyas (1-0) to a 20-10 football victory over Davidson (0-1). Army 31, Eastern Michigan 27 YPSILANTI, Mich. — Jared Hassin ran 7 yards for a touchdown with 38 seconds left to give Army a 31-27 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday night. Hassin scored three touchdowns and ran for 68 yards on 12 carries. Former West Rowan star Jon Crucitti is on the Army roster. He did not play.

Wilson, Wolfpack roll Associated Press
RALEIGH — Russell Wilson spent N.C. State 48 much of his WCU 7 offseason playing baseball. His return to the football field was a hit on Saturday night, even if his coach wouldn’t call it a home run. Wilson passed for 306 yards and four touchdowns to help North Carolina State defeat Western Carolina 48-7. “It was definitely good to get out there again,” said Wilson who missed spring practice to play for N.C. State’s baseball team and spent the summer playing in the Colorado Rockies organization. “I’ve been working hard to find my comfort zone.” Wilson completed 21 of 31
passes, engineering seven consecutive scoring drives as the Wolfpack won their season opener for the first time in four tries under coach Tom O’Brien. Wilson notched his fifth 300-yard passing game and didn’t throw an interception, but O’Brien saw room for improvement. O’Brien wanted to see a sharper 2-minute drill on N.C. State’s final possession of the first half, which resulted in a 24-yard field goal by Josh Czajkowski. The coach also pointed out that Wilson failed to recognize that the team had 12 players in the huddle on one occasion. “We’re not where we have to be offensively,” O’Brien said. “I think we’ve got to get Russell back into the swing of things.” The Wolfpack replaced Wil-
Renfroe throws for 350
son with Mike Glennon with 3:10 remaining in the third quarter. Glennon limped off the field with 10 minutes left in the fourth with what team officials called a bruised knee. N.C. State, which scored three points in its previous two season openers combined, enjoyed its highest scoring output in a first game since a 59-20 win over Western Carolina in 2003. T.J. Graham posted career highs with six receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns — all in the first half — for the Wolfpack. Freshman tailbacks Dean Haynes and Mustafa Greene each added a thirdquarter rushing touchdown for N.C. State. Western Carolina dropped to 0-26 all-time against current members of the Atlantic Coast
Conference. The Catamounts went 87 yards on 10 plays to score a touchdown on the game’s first possession, but amassed just 102 yards on 39 plays the rest of the game. “The first half we came out there a little too excited,” N.C. State linebacker Terrell Manning said. “They were doing a couple of different things, so we had to go and adjust. ... We just had to slow down and play a little slower. That took care of everything.” A mistake by Western Carolina on special teams ignited N.C. State’s attack. After their opening score, the Catamounts forced N.C. State to punt after three plays. But Deja Alexander muffed the catch on the short kick, and Taylor Gentry recovered for N.C. State on the

DURHAM— Sean Renf r e e Duke 41 t h r e w Elon 27 for 350 yards and two touchdowns in his first college start, and Duke opened its season by beating Elon 41-27 on Saturday night. Renfree completed 13 of his first 14 passes, including 10 in a row, with touchdown throws of 8 and 7 yards on consecutive drives for the Blue Devils. He finished 31 of 39 while his favorite target, Conner Vernon, caught 10 passes for a career-high 129 yards. Desmond Scott rushed 34 yards for a touchdown and freshman Josh Snead added a short scoring run late for Duke, which rolled up 542 total yards. Scott Riddle was 22 of 42 for 281 yards and a touchdown and an 11-yard TD run. Brandon Newsome had a 5-yard scoring run for Elon, which is 0-3 all-time against Bowl Subdivision teams. The pass-happy Phoenix threatened to be a vexing opponent for a Duke team that had lost twice to Championship Subdivision teams since 2006 and entered with questions about its defense. But the Blue Devils scored on five of their first six possessions, then made enough plays down the stretch to win their first opener since 2008. Riddle’s scrambling touchdown run through the left side pulled Elon to 27-20 with 12:35 to play. Renfree countered that by leading an 11-play drive, ending with Snead powering in from 3 yards out to make it a two-score game again with just under 8 minutes left. Jay Hollingsworth added a 1yard touchdown run with 2:10 remaining, making it 41-20. For much of the night, Renfree certainly didn’t look much like a first-time starter. All eyes were on the redshirt sophomore for two reasons — he’s the successor to record-setter Thaddeus Lewis, and he played for the first time since injuring his right knee during last year’s loss to Georgia Tech. Renfree had back-toback completions of at least 20 yards early in a drive that ended with his 8-yard scoring pass to Donovan Varner. He cut across the middle and Renfree hit him in stride to make it 14-3.

I’m not just a return specialist. I do also play receiver, and I just wanted to show that.”

UNC falls short BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press
ATLANTA — Against all odds, undermanned LSU 30 North Carolina UNC 24 nearly rallied from a 20-point halftime deficit before losing 30-24 to LSU on Saturday night. Patrick Peterson had 257 yards — including an 87-yard touchdown — on kickoff and punt returns, leading No. 21 LSU (1-0) to a 30-10 halftime lead. Not surprising, given the Tar Heels were missing 13 key players because of an NCAA investigation over relationships with agents and possible academic violations. But No. 18 North Carolina (0-1) made a game of it, scoring two second-half touchdowns, then getting two shots at the win after recovering an onside kick and a fumble. T.J. Yates drove the Heels to the LSU 2-yard line and got off a pair of passes into the end zone after throwing for a career-high 412 yards. Both slipped through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Hey, give the Tar Heels credit — it looked as though they were headed for a blowout. Backed up against his own goal line, Yates rolled to his right and heaved a pass out of the end zone that Jheranie Boyd took to the other end zone for a 97-yard touchdown — the longest play from scrimmage in North Carolina history. Yates then hooked up with Erik Highsmith on a 14-yard touchdown with 21/2 minutes remaining.
North Carolina recovered a disputed onside kick, but LSU stopped that drive by forcing Yates to fumble as he tried to scramble. Trying to run out the clock, Stevan Ridley fumbled and the Tar Heels recovered, getting one more shot for an improbable victory. Missing so many players, the trickle down to the special teams left the Tar Heels especially vulnerable. Peterson, a junior cornerback, took advantage with four punt returns for 157 yards and three kickoff returns for 100 yards. Former quarterback Russell Shepard, now playing receiver to take advantage of his speed, hauled in a touchdown pass and broke off a 50-yard scoring run for LSU. And the current quarterback, Jordan Jefferson, finished off the first half with a 51-yard scoring pass to Rueben Randle. Butch Davis’ North Carolina team was missing most of the NFL prospects on its touted defense — at least six starters, including the entire secondary. The offense wasn’t at full strength, either, forced to improvise without leading receiver Greg Little and its top two tailbacks, Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston. But plenty of players stepped up for the Tar Heels, no one more than Yates. He completed 28 of 45 and had three touchdown passes. His favorite receiver was Boyd, who had six catches for 221 yards, making him only the fourth player in North Carolina history to have 200 receiving yards in a game. Jefferson was 15 of 21 for 151
yards. Ridley rushed for 81 yards and Shepard had 67, while the LSU defense limited North Carolina to 24 yards on the ground. But the Tiger nearly let it slip away at the end, which would have been a devastating blow to coach Les Miles and a program that’s trying to show it’s still a powerhouse in the Southeastern Conference. Just three years removed from a national championship, LSU has lost eight SEC games over the last two years and watched Florida and Alabama reclaim the dominant roles. LSU appeared headed for a blowout after scoring 23 straight points over the final 8:06 of the first half. Peterson sparked the outburst with a 47-yard kickoff return to midfield. On the very next play, Shepard took the handoff on an end around, jetted around the left side and was gone down the sideline. On the ensuing kickoff, Hunter Furr bobbled the ball in the end zone and apparently thought he had to bring it out — yet another blunder on special teams. He was swarmed over by the Tigers, leaving North Carolina at its own 4. Three plays later, the Tar Heels gave up a safety when center P.J. Lonergan snapped the ball past Yates, who wasn’t ready for the shotgun hike. It rolled out of the back of the end zone. Peterson kept it going by fielding a punt at his own 13, gliding to his right, then making a quick cut through the hole that sent him off on the TD that made it 23-10.
The ACC roundup ... CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Keith Payne ran for four touchdowns and Virginia ended a four-year losing streak in season openers with a 34-13 victory against Richmond on Saturday night. Payne, who was finished with football until Al Groh was fired and Mike London replaced him after last season, carried 16 times for 114 yards. He had consecutive carries of 15, 13 and 15 yards on the third scoring drive, each time carrying several defenders along. Richmond, which beat Duke to start the season twice in the past five seasons, lost in the coaching debut of Latrell Scott. The game also marked the return to the Virginia lineup of quarterback Marc Verica, who started nine games in 2008 but played sparingly last season as Groh went to a spread offense. Clemson 35, North Texas 10 CLEMSON, S.C. — Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper each scored twice for Clemson in a 35-10 victory over North Texas on Saturday that showed there’s life for the Tigers without ACC player of the year C.J. Spiller. In the season opener for both teams, Ellington got things going with a 60-yard scoring run on Clemson’s second snap just 16 seconds into the game. He added a 14-yard run in the third quarter. Quarterback Kyle Parker added two touchdowns passes, including a 70-yarder to Brandon Clear. No. 16 Georgia Tech 41, S,C, St. 10 ATLANTA — Quarterback Joshua Nesbitt ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns and Roddy Jones added two scoring runs for Georgia Tech. With last year’s top receiver Demaryius Thomas and top rusher Jonathan Dwyer gone to the NFL, Nesbitt kept the offense moving despite his inability to establish a passing game. Nesbitt was only 1-for-6 passing for 8 yards with an interception in the Yellow Jackets’ run-based option offense. Sophomore Asheton Jordan had 17 carries for 125 yards for South Carolina State (0-1), setting up the Bulldogs’ only touchdown with a 55-yard run in the third quarter. No. 20 Florida St. 59, Samford 6 TALLAHASSEE, Fla — Christian Ponder threw four first-half touchdown passes and Greg Reid returned a punt 74 yards for another score as No. 20 Florida State celebrated Jimbo Fisher’s coaching debut with a rout. The Seminoles (1-0) exploded for 35 points during an 11-minute span of the second quarter to build a 42-0 lead in the season opener for both schools. Ponder, who played only the first half, completed 12 of 14 passes for 167 yards. He hit running back Lonnie Pryor for two scores on short passes. Boston College 38, Weber State 20 BOSTON — Dave Shinskie rebounded from an interception on the first play of the season by throwing touchdowns on consecutive first-quarter drives and Boston College — bolstered by the return of cancer-survivor Mark Herzlich — rolled past Weber State 38-20.

Making a bouquet out of 65 roses any Post readers will remember Joey Benton and the many wonderful photographs that he took over the years he was a staff photographer here before he moved with his family to South Carolina. The Bentons have certainly been through more than their fair KATIE of trials SCARVEY share in the time I’ve known them. Joey and I share an unlikely bond in that we were both dealt serious blows as parents while we were working for the Post. In fact, I remember calling Joey on the phone the day that my husband and I got the worst news of our lives. It was early in 2002 and I didn’t know Joey very well then because I had only been at the paper for a few months. All I knew about him was that he was funny and a little bit of a smartass. I called him to cancel the assignment we had planned together for the next day. He wasn’t there, and I can’t begin to explain how strange it felt to be leaving a message along the lines of, “I can’t go to the mountains tomorrow; Quinn has a brain tumor and we’re headed for the emergency room.” The next year, Joey got his own devastating news, that his infant son — Joey IV, or “Peanut,” — had cystic fibrosis. Then a few years later, our families bonded again over Joey’s own diagnosis of a brain tumor. How strange it felt for someone else we knew well to be dealing with something so rare. Quinn and Joey connected during that time, and I think it was comforting for them both not to feel so alone. Fortunately, Joey’s brain tumor was pretty easily dealt with, at least in the big, hairy scheme of brain tumors, and he was able to go back to the other pressing concerns in his life, including, of course, his son’s many medical needs. Joey is fortunate to be married to Caroline, who is a stellar mom and one of the kindest people you will meet. When Quinn was sick, Caroline reached out to the racing community, to which she was connected through her job, and as a result Quinn received much encouragement from people she didn’t even know on her CaringBridge page. Caroline later printed out all the messages and put them in a notebook so that Quinn could look at them whenever she wanted. Those who know the Bentons can’t help but be impressed by how they have taken a serious life blow and turned it into a mission. All the pain, uncertainty and heartache that accompany having a child with a chronic, life-threatening illness seems to have been alchemized in this family into a crystalline certainty about what’s important in life. They are optimistic for their son’s future — and for the future of all children with CF, who are helped by their advocacy and fundraising efforts. The disease is sometimes called “sixty-five roses,” for how young children with the disease pronounce it. The Bentons are, no doubt, concentrating on the blossoms and not the thorns when it comes to their own rose garden.

hen a child has a chronic, lifethreatening disease like cystic fibrosis, it’s really the whole family who has the disease, says Caroline Benton. “It changes the way you see the world,” Caroline says. Her husband, Joey Benton III, agrees. “There’s really no part of our lives that it hasn’t touched,” he says. “Cystic fibrosis affects everything we do, both positively and negatively.” submitted photo
Caroline and Joey, formerly a photographer for the Salisbury Post, are the parents of 7-year-old Joey Benton IV and 4-year-old Keegan. The family lives in Summerville, S.C., not far from Charleston. Little Joey, now in second grade, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was 6 weeks old. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects the lungs, digestive system and sweat glands. It affects the body’s ability to move salt and water in and out of cells, which causes the lungs and pancreas to secrete thick mucus, blocking passageways and causing problems. About 30,000 people have CF in this country, and each year about 3,000 babies are born with it. Until recent years, when life expectancy has risen dramatically, cystic fibrosis has meant an early death from lung failure. As a cystic fibrosis patient, Joey must take more than a dozen medications, and his therapy includes wearing a special vibrating vest several times a day to help break up

mucus secretions, important because blocked airways can create an environment for bacteria. Even with all the treatments, a life-threatening infection will sometimes develop, requiring a hospitalization. His last was in March. Caroline and big Joey are hopeful that little Joey’s hospitalizations will be fewer after a recent sinus surgery. Because of digestive issues associated with CF, seeing that Joey consumes enough calories has been a challenge. In a difficult decision, Caroline and big Joey agreed to a feeding tube implanted that delivers nourishment directly to little Joey’s stomach.

Tech temptations are leaving teens more sleep deprived than ever BY KRISTIN TILLOTSON ots of teens are into vampires these days. Many more of them seem to be keeping vampire hours. Take Alexa McGill, who has a very modern way of falling asleep. She does it while texting. “Usually I’ll wake up in the middle of night, reply to the text I fell asleep during, then stay up for a few more hours,” said McGill, 16, who lives in Anoka, Minn., near the Twin Cities. “Around 5 a.m., I’ll try to get a couple more hours of sleep because I have to get up at 7 to get ready for work.” When Sam Humleker of Minneapolis was in 10th grade, he was almost always asleep by 9:30 p.m. Now, two years later, the 18-yearold is up till 1 a.m., texting, Skyping, checking his Gmail, digg.com and Facebook. He tells his mother, Cordelia Anderson, that 1 o’clock in the morning isn’t so bad: “Some of my friends are up till 3 a.m.,” he said. Kind of makes the days when Mom or Dad would bust their little night owlets for shining a flashlight on a good book under the covers seem as quaint as a Norman Rockwell painting. It’s a problem that has gotten worse with each new technological temptation to come their way — especially something as small and easy to slip under a pillow as a cell phone, which can be used for playing video games and Web browsing as well as texting. It’s how teens socialize and it’s available 24/7, making it hard to tear themselves away from just one more text, just a few more minutes on the Xbox. The numbers tell the story. Half of adolescents get fewer than eight hours (they actually need nine or more) of sleep on school nights, and only 15 percent of them get adequate sleep, according to a new poll on teens and sleep from the National Sleep Foundation. All that wee-hours typing and surfing can produce more than fatigue. It’s putting the teens’ education, health and even safety at risk. To parents — many of whom think their teens are getting enough sleep when they’re not — the effects of sleep deprivation often ap-

pear to be something else. “Often they bring their kids to me when they’re having trouble in school, thinking they have issues with depression, drug use or ADD, when actually not getting enough sleep is the problem behind the problem,” said John Hoistad, an adolescent psychologist speaking as both a professional and the father of three teenage sons. He noted the recent case of a boy who begins his junior year of high school this fall. “He had a very high grade-point average, but lately his grades had been slipping,” he said. “His parents brought him to see me, to figure out why. In his case, he was partly going away from what his parents, both self-made, high-performing people, wanted, and he was doing it by staying up all night, texting and going online.” Teens are “not simply little adults” when it comes to sleep needs, said Dr. Michel Cramer Bornemann, co-director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center at Hennepin County Medical Center. “Adults require about eight hours of sleep each night, while teens need at least nine. Yet the average teen gets only about six. They’re running in a chronic sleep-deprived state Monday through Friday.” Teens have a bit of what he calls a natural “sleep delay,” or tendency to stay up later and sleep in later than their biological clocks will dictate when they reach maturity, a routine that doesn’t jibe with school schedules. Cramer Bornemann cautions against the “awareness gap” he sees in parents who think their teens are getting enough sleep. “But Mom, I’m not even tired” is no assurance that’s the case: When we’re already sleepy, most of us are poor judges of our own need for sleep, he said, citing clinical studies. And that
BIRTHS
lack of awareness, coupled with the slower reactions and fuzzier thinking brought on by fatigue, can have dangerous consequences. “Cognitive impairment behind the wheel of an automobile after one night of sleep deprivation is more severe than that of being legally intoxicated,” Cramer Bornemann said. “All of these combinations make our adolescents a vulnerable population for which parents need to remain ’parent.’ “ Sleep deprivation is also associated with obesity, because it decreases hormones that tell you that you feel full, and increases other hormones that make you feel hungry, he said. Ann Hoxie, who supervises student health and wellness for public schools in St. Paul, says that tired students are more prone not only to short attention spans, but to mood swings and behavioral problems. “I don’t think parents are as aware of their older kids being tired as they could be,” she said. “Even 15- and 16-year-olds still need parents to give them some structure.” Teen texting aficionado Alexa McGill figures she gets a total of about six — interrupted— hours of sleep a night. “I know I do need that eight to 10 they say we do,” she said. “I’m super-tired a lot; it’s getting to the point where I take naps during the day. When school starts I’ll probably go to bed at 10 and just put my phone on ’silent.’ “ Mom Helen McGill said that in the summer, she relaxes the rules, but that once school is in session, Alexa “has to turn her cell phone off after 8:30 p.m. on school nights. I may extend it to 9 this year.” We wish the McGills — and the many other households negotiating the same sort of deal — the best of luck in working that out.

Early inheritance creates stress Dear Amy: My husband’s mother sent him a five-digit “early inheritance gift” and a letter specifying it as a gift for him, “spouse excluded.” I don’t know if she is aware that we merged our assets, and any gift to either of us is a gift to both of us. My husband wants to tell her ASK that the AMY gift will benefit us both equally. I think it’s none of her business and, if he accepts the gift, all he needs to say is, “thank you.” He initially kept the gift a secret from me, until I heard her urge him to “deposit the check” and later asked him what she meant. He said he didn’t tell me because he feared I would be offended and he needed time to summon the nerve to discuss it with her. I’m trying not to feel snubbed by her explicit exclusion, but if she believes our finances are separate, her directive seems unnecessary because a gift payable to him would go to his account. If she knows our assets are shared, then her directive seems like pointed disrespect for our marriage or, maybe, for me. I am not pleased at my
husband’s secrecy (which also seems unnecessary and divisive to me), but am willing to overlook it under the circumstances. I realize I don’t need to do anything about this; I just feel diminished. Your thoughts? — Curious Dear Curious: Your motherin-law can attempt to do whatever she wants with her money, but I agree that her directive is divisive to your marriage. She should be told that a gift to her son is a gift to his family, mainly so she understands how you two do things. I can understand your husband’s embarrassment over this and think you should forgive his hesitancy. You should also forgive his mother. She made a mistake. Her own personal and financial history might have led her to think this was a good idea — obviously it was not. If your husband is straightforward about this now, his mother won’t labor under this misapprehension in the future. Once this is sorted out, you should do your best to move on — and your mother-in-law should be thanked for her generosity.

children. He would call my sisters and me Sunday afternoon and invite us for “dinner” at whatever hamburger joint appealed to him that week. Much of this time I was working two or even three parttime jobs, going to college full time and raising two teenage daughters alone. I was on food stamps, ADC and the parent-sponsored “Bank of Dad.” This Sunday meal with Dad was often the best meal, and certainly the most fun we’d have all week. After I graduated (with honors) and got a job, I started inviting my parents out for burgers. At first dad would try to pay, but I refused, saying that it was my invitation and my check. Eventually he learned to accept graciously and enjoyed the treat. Years later, in his final months, he told me how much he appreciated the gesture and the fact that I stepped up. Having been the expensive, divorced “problem child,” my demonstration of having finally “grown up” earned me the respect and admiration of my beloved father. — Finally Grown Up Dear Amy: “Puzzled Parent” wrote to you, concerned about Dear Grown Up: Being genher adult children, who never pick up the check when they erous and picking up the check feels good; according to eat out.

Little Joey enjoys the attention. “His dream is to be super-famous, to go to events and be on the red carpet.” She shares a story about him watching the Kids’ Choice Awards on the Nickelodeon channel and observing the participants walking the orange carpet. “Why am I not there?” he asked his mom. He has, however, gotten to be at other places through his association with the MUSC Children’s Hospital. In June, he traveled with the rest of his family to Washington, D.C. on behalf of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals for Family Advocacy Day. The annual event allows representatives from various children’s hospitals to connect with members of congress to put a face with the needs of children’s hospitals. They were also there, Caroline says, to express the family’s gratitude for the recent changes in insurance legislation. They are particularly relieved that under the new law, little Joey will have health insurance under his parents’ policy until he is 26 — and can’t be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. They were thrilled to meet Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Although they didn’t have a meeting scheduled, they got several minutes with her on the Speaker’s Balcony, which overlooks the platform where presidents are inaugurated. The Bentons were particularly touched when Pelosi later noticed 4-year-old Keegan (wearing the same kind of shirt his brother was wearing) and made a special effort to talk to him.. Little Joey says that Pelosi sent him a letter afterwards — “and she wrote it herself,” he added. Last week, Joey had another special day — this time getting to hang out with a surfer and mixed martial artist. Last Sunday morning, at Charleston’s Folly Beach, Joey was one of seven children with CF who got private surfing lessons from surfers working with the Mauli Ola foundation, which was formed with the goal of introducing kids with CF to surfing. Sucking in and coughing up ocean water might not sound like a good thing for a child with a chronic illness, but in the case of CF, nothing could be further from the truth. “Inhaled saltwater is phenomenal for CF patients,” Caroline says, explaining that part of the standard treatment now for the disease is hypertonic saline taken through a nebuliser, which turns the liquid solution into a mist for delivery to the lungs. The high concentration of salt helps bring mucus out of the lungs and clear the chest and sinuses. The Bentons heard about

professional surfer and mixed martial arts fighter nissen osterneck runs up the beach with joey benton after his first surf lesson. the surfing opportunity during one of Joey’s regular check-ups. Young Joey took to surfing amazingly quickly with the guidance of professional surfer Nissen Osterneck, who is not only a professional surfer but a mixed martial arts fighter. And how cool is that? “We didn’t think he’d actually be standing up by the end of the session,” Caroline says. So she and Big Joey were amazed when by his third or fourth attempt, Joey was standing on the board. “He was on cloud nine,” Caroline says. “He loved it so much.” “It felt like riding a bicycle on water,” little Joey said. “It was only an hour, but we made the best of it.” At only 7, Joey has a good understanding of the therapeutic effect of surfing. “The ocean’s the biggest supply of that medicine in the world, saline,” he said. “It’s like the vest and misty (hypertonic saline in the nebuliser) in one.” Big Joey is understandably proud of how quickly his namesake got the hang — or hang ten — of surfing. “He’s a lot tougher than he looks,” he said. In general, Joey says, his son bounces back quickly from the challenges his disease throws at him. Dealing with cystic fibrosis is a constant uphill struggle, Caroline says. “You’re never done with it; you’re always working to just maintain the baseline.”
joey poses in front of a billboard on i-26 with his picture on it. Even four-year-old Keegan is aware of his brother’s illness. When they work on fundraisers or go to CF events, Keegan will say, “We’re doing this for bubby’s disease.” At times, big Joey says, Keegan is protective of his older brother. “He’ll sometimes get upset if I pick up his brother in a joking way. “He’ll say, ‘Daddy, you have to be careful of him; his (feeding) tube could get hurt.’” But the struggles have been worth it, as have the fundrais-

ing efforts. When Joey was born in 2003, the life expectancy for a CF patient was 32; since then, it’s increased to 37. Back in 1955, when the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was formed, most with CF did not survive beyond elementary school. “The work we’re doing is important,” Caroline says. “He has a future. He’s doing great in school. There’s nothing to prevent him from fulfilling any dream he has.” As part of their service efforts, Caroline and big Joey are members of the family advisory board of the Medical University of South Carolina’s Children’s Hospital. They do it, Caroline says, not necessarily for families of those children with chronic illjoey and Keegan benton take a nesses but for those families who may start their morning as break on the Capitol steps during a they always do, only to find the trip to Washington, d.C in june. rug jerked from underneath them when a child winds up in school with the goal of becomthe hospital unexpectedly. ing a physician’s assistant. “ ‘Chronic’ families have Not surprisingly, he hopes to learned what to ask and what to go into pediatrics. do,” Caroline says. “But other “I just get upset when I see a families need us to share what sick kid.

Irreverent Cuban movie promises zombie revolution
AssociAted Press
Mexican makeup artist cristian Jauregui, left, works on the mold of the zombie mask of claudia calvino, cuban co-producer of the film ‘Juan de los Muertos’ or ‘Juan of the dead’ in Havana, cuba. “We Cubans have had to deal with a whole series of problems in the last 50 years,” Brugues told the Associated Press, an allusion to the decades of economic hardship and isolation that have followed Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution, particularly since the collapse of the Soviet Union. “We have become accustomed to resolving problems on our own and finding a way to survive. So I was thinking, ‘How would a Cuban survive a zombie epidemic.’ ” As Brugues spoke, makeup artists in another room
were transforming actors into blood-soaked zombies, a process that can take up to five hours. A gruesome zombie head lay on a table alongside multiple cups of coffee and cigarette butts, and a producer was testing out the believability of a detached, latex hand by sneaking up on unsuspecting production assistants and tapping them on the shoulder with it. Preproduction got under way this week, with shooting slated to start in late October. the filmmakers hope to release the movie in the spring or summer of next year, and
plan to role it out at several film festivals before showing it to a wider audience. The movie’s plot is simple: A 40-year old layabout named Juan finds a zombie floating in the water while fishing off the coast of Havana. The zombie attacks but Juan makes a narrow escape, only to find that the undead are all over the city. Staterun media blames the whole thing on government opponents backed by Cuba’s archenemies in Washington, but Juan knows better — and comes up with a plan. Together with his side-
kick, Lazaro — described by the filmmakers as “just as lazy, but twice as stupid” — Juan puts out the word that he is open for business. Has your grandmother been turned into a zombie? Is your uncle stumbling about with blood coming out of his mouth? Juan and Lazaro promise to get rid of your undead loved ones for just 15 Cuban convertible pesos ($16) a pop, and to clean up the mess for an extra 20 ($21). The duo are making good money until they find themselves the only non-zombies left in the city, with the rest of the population having either fled or been infected. The movie is backed by Spain’s La Zanfona Producciones, two Spanish television channels, the government of Spain’s Andalucia region and the state-run Cuban Institute of Art and Cinematography. It has a budget of $2.1 million, most of which is going to special effects that have to be added in Spain because the technology is not available in Cuba. “Clearly, it is a very small budget for an international zombie movie,” said Claudia Calvino, the film’s 27-year-old Cuban co-producer. “But that’s a lot of money for a Cuban movie.” Another co-producer, 34year-old Inti Herrera, said most Cuban films are made for less than $300,000. He said that the makers of Juan of the Dead are hoping to produce something that has
a professional feel to it which can be enjoyed by audiences everywhere — even the United States. “We really hope it comes out and is shown widely in theaters there,” said Brugues. “That is definitely our idea.” Brugues says part of the movie’s message deals with whether one should stay and face problems or get out of town when the going gets tough — a politically sensitive topic in a country divided between those who have lived through the revolution for better or worse, and those who have left for exile in South Florida and elsewhere. But he insists the film is not political. “I want people to have a good time at the theater,” Brugues says. “And I promise liters and liters of blood.”

HAVANA (AP) — What would you do if your entire city was taken over by flesheating zombies and communist leaders insisted it was nothing but a plot by U.Sbacked dissidents to destabilize the government? If you were the protagonist of Juan de los Muertos — “Juan of the Dead” — the first zombie flick ever shot in post-revolutionary Cuba, you’d figure out how to make some cash out of the carnage. Part horror show, part social satire, the soon-to-be-shot movie has the backing of a Spanish production company, a green light from Cuban authorities and a budget that dwarfs most big-screen offerings from the island. And its irreverent humor — one blurb for the film proclaims: “Fifty years later, a new Revolution has begun” — could make Juan of the Dead the next big thing in Cuban cinema, and give it a real chance at global success. It is the second film by 34year-old writer-director Alejandro Brugues, who says his idea was to tell a story that was authentically Cuban — but within the logic of a camp zombie flick. Closest to his heart, he said, is a quintessential island knack for making ends meet, whether by keeping a rusty ’57 Chevy on the road for half a century, or finding a way to feed a family on a salary of $20 a month. Locals even have a saying for how they will overcome the constant hurdles that are part of daily life on this cashstrapped, crumbling island: “I’ll invent something.”

Work First emphasizes personal responsibility Those who qualify get short-term help to rejoin job force BY NANCY BRANDT For the Salisbury Post
orth Carolina’s Work First program is built on the premise that all people have a responsibility to their families and communities to work and provide for their children. The family has the larger responsibility in achieving self-sufficiency. Work First financial benefits and employment services from the local Department of Social Services are short-term and directed towards a quick return to the labor force by the Work First participant. Work First, which is administered by the DSS, is designed to help parents find and retain employment so that they don’t have to rely on public assistance. In Rowan County, about 350 clients are currently enrolled in Work First. All Work First applicants must meet several eligibility requirements. Federal regulations place increased emphasis on work by the parent and establish penalties for failure to comply with the Mutual Responsibility Agreement (MRA) between the client and DSS. Clients must complete all aspects of their Mutual Responsibility Core Requirements and Plan of Action before receiving any Work First financial benefits. Failure to sign an MRA at application will result in denial of the application. Failure to sign an MRA with the employment social worker will result in the termination of Work First Family Assistance. The initial orientation for all applicants for Work First will include a review of the goals of the program, participation requirements, and expectations for all recipients of benefits. Initial interviews address family information, work history, the individual’s skills and goals, and family resources. Information is provided regarding other community resources that may help the client and family with a “safety net” for a future without public assistance. The MRA Core Requirements for all families include: • All children who receive assistance must receive their immunizations and have regular health screenings • All children must attend school according to school policy • Minor parents (under the age of 18) must live with a parent or an approved adult and attend school according to school policy • Caretakers must cooperate with child support enforcement in the establishment and enforcement of support orders for all children in their care who receive assistance • Caretakers must keep all scheduled appointments with their Work First caseworkers • Caretakers must report any and all changes that occur in their situation within 10 calendar days that the change occurred The MRA Plan of Action Requirements include: • Employment goals • A description of a plan for participating in countable work activities for 40 hours per week designed to achieve the employment goals • A description of the supportive services that will help the family become self-sufficient within two years • A description of the participation requirements and supportive services/reasonable accommodations needed for individuals with a disability • Prior notification requirements for missed appointments and agreed upon activities • The job-quit penalty • Notification of failure to participate without good cause will result in a check not being issued for the month • The work registration requirement with Employment Security Commission for all work-eligible participants who are ready to engage in

Solar disconnect Feds’ focus on oil, flawed leasing system leave desert tracts years away from power generation BY JASON DEAREN Associated Press
OACH DRY LAKE, Nev. — Not a light bulb’s worth of solar electricity has been produced on the millions of acres of public desert set aside for it. Not one project to build glimmering solar farms has even broken ground. Instead, five years after federal land managers opened up stretches of the Southwest to developers, vast tracts still sit idle. An Associated Press examination of U.S. Bureau of Land Management records and interviews with agency officials shows that the BLM operated a first-come, first-served leasing system that quickly overwhelmed its small staff and enabled companies, regardless of solar industry experience, to squat on land without any real plans to develop it. At a time when the nation drills ever deeper for oil off its shores even as it tries to diversify its energy supply, the federal government has, so far, failed to use the land it already has — some of the world’s best for solar — to produce renewable electricity. Nowhere is this more evident
R
than in Nevada, where a Goldman Sachs & Co. subsidiary with no solar background has claims with the BLM on nearly half the land for which applications have been filed, but no firm plan for any of the sites. The Obama administration says it is expediting the most promising projects, with some approvals expected as soon as September. And yet, it will be years before the companies begin sending electricity to the Southwest’s sprawling, energyhungry cities. “Clearly we spent a lot of time and effort on oil and gas, but those priorities have changed,” Ray Brady, BLM’s head of energy policy in Washington, told the AP. Congress in 2005 gave the Interior Department a deadline: approve 10,000 megawatts, or about five million homes’ worth during peak hours, of renewable energy on public lands by 2015. Reaching that goal was left to the BLM, which oversees federal land and knows oil, gas and mining leases but is new to solar. The Bush administration, however, kept BLM’s focus on oil. BLM’s database of solar applications shows many lan-
guished for years while the agency approved more than 73,000 oil and gas leases in the last five years. BLM has yet to give final approval to one solar lease. BLM’s solar leasing system ended up allowing developers to lay claim to prime sites — many located in the deserts that span California, Nevada and Arizona. All developers had to do was fill out an application, pay a fee and file development plans. But many were so vague that it was difficult for BLM to separate the serious projects from the speculative ones. “People were making (solar) applications on federal lands not knowing what kind of technology to propose and ... how to develop the land,” Brady said. In the Southern California desert near Palm Springs, for example, San Diego-based LightSource Renewables filed an application in August 2008 for 2,500 acres, BLM records show. The small, two-person development firm knew enough to recognize the land’s worth — it was close to transmission lines — but had no previous experience with such projects. Co-founder Paul Whitworth
said it is now focusing on getting private land, and is not pursuing plans for its BLM site. The agency, however, still considers the application active, meaning other interested firms cannot access it. “We don’t know what technology will win or lose, and certain sites cater to certain technologies, but a good site is a good site,” Whitworth said when asked why they filed their application. The firm has never filed a development plan, records show. While dozens of smaller firms like Lightsource joined in the rush, BLM records show two Goldman subsidiaries filed 52 of the 354 applications throughout the region, more than any other company. “Those 52 applications are an example of the problem of clogging up the system,” said V. John White, executive director the Sacramento, Calif.-based Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies, a cleanenergy advocacy group, in an email. The system has limited access by experienced solar developers to the best sites. “Some of these lease applica-

Cheerwine hits the sweet spot alisbury-based Cheerwine got a boost from the New York Times recently, via an article in the newspaper’s “Dining and Wining” section. The article, by Sarah Maslin Nir, was headlined “Some Foods, You Just Had to Be There.” It related how, in the age of online shopping, some people still like to take road trips to purchase their particular food obsessions. One of those interviewed was Anna Sturgeon, 27, a movie content reviewer from Cincinnati and a “big fan” of Cheerwine soda. Describing Cheerwine, Sturgeon said, “Imagine the sweetest maraschino cherry you ever smelled, and multiply that by 100.” Sturgeon said she initially tasted Cheerwine during a family visit to the Carolinas when

she was 9. Now, she sometimes drives down from Cincinnati to pick up a case or more. “The anticipation, it’s the entire experience,” she said. “It’s walking into the convenience mart, seeing the display, grabbing one and cracking it open and it being so cold and refreshing. It cannot be matched by opening up a mailbox.” • • • Hometown hurler: Salisbury is also getting some big league exposure thanks to pitcher Bobby Parnell, the former East Rowan High standout who’s now a bullpen fireballer for the New York Mets. During Wednesday’s game between the Mets and Braves, Parnell came on to pitch a scoreless inning. Braves radio announcer Don Sutton noted that Parnell no doubt had a lot of fans “back in Salisbury, N.C.” It’s a “lovely little town,” responded his broadcasting partner, Jim Powell.
Happy ending, happy riders A few weeks ago, the Salisbury Post published a letter to the editor from Lori Mason, describing how a thoughtless miscreant had stolen the bikes her two children had received as birthday gifts. As we noted in a subsequent editorial page “laurel,” the Post received offers from readers who wanted to donate new bikes, but Mason told us they had already been replaced by “the graciousness of great friends.” And here you see the grinning results as 6-year-old Philip Cressler and his 8year-old sister Leah prepare to enjoy some free-wheeling fun. Thanks again to all of the Post readers who wanted to pitch in — and remember that some local drives will be coming up that collect bicycles and other toys to distribute as Christmas gifts.

COMBAT ROLE ENDS IN IRAQ
Not victory, but progress he end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq comes as good news, particularly to families touched directly by Operation Iraqi Freedom. In a fiscal sense, the war has touched every taxpayer in the country. The United States’ funding for the war totals $756 billion from 2003 through the end of 2010. That’s more than $2,400 for every man, woman and child in our 308 million population. For Rowan County’s 139,225 residents, that’s $334 million — enough to build 10 new high schools. A war of words has commenced over whether President Obama’s stimulus package will cost the nation more than Operation Iraqi Freedom. The answer is yes, if you count the stimulus’ total cost from 2009 to its complete fruition in 2019. The tab for that will be $820 billion, some $64 billion more than the war to date, according to Politifact. The bill our nation will pay for the war in Iraq, however, has only begun to add up. The $756 million spent so far does not include the ongoing cost of the 50,000 troops who remain to provide security and training for Iraqis. And caring for the war’s disabled veterans here at home will go on for decades. To gauge the real cost of war, though, you need a National Cemetery, not a calculator. A handful of Rowan County families — and more than 4,400 nationwide — have lost someone in Iraq. The war has affected those families more than anyone else can know. The loss is so huge, so painful, that any problem they encounter after that point seems like a mere inconvenience. Put aside our internal political squabbling. Put aside talk of deficits and funding. The United States’ mission in Iraq was to topple a tyrant. The service men and women who carried out that task and have fought through the aftermath accomplished what they were sent to do, and they served their country well. They fulfilled our commitment to the Iraq. People will continue to debate whether the war was worth it — both in funding and in families’ sacrifice. U.S. civilians fretting over pocketbook issues have already forgotten the threat that many believed Saddam Hussein posed; we have forgotten the terror under which large portions of the Iraqi population lived. And we felt little relief last week after the president’s pronouncement since the page to which we’re turning still has war in Afghanistan. But this is progress. What seemed like an intractable conflict has settled down as much as it ever will, probably. Only 50,000 U.S. troops now serve where 170,000 once fought. That might not fit the definition of “victory,” but it is a much-needed step forward.

Fact-check those idyllic recollections Today’s assaults on teachers are few and not new udging from reaction to reports of a Salisbury High teacher being assaulted by a student — and from cartoonist Mark Brincefield’s satirical take on the incident (above) — you’d think we’re in the midst of an epidemic of violence against school personnel. This report from a major news weekly CHRIS appears to conVERNER firm that view: “A new wave of violence is sweeping U.S. classrooms,” the article says. “Much of it is centered in junior high schools, which have long coped with the most combustible years of adolescence. Yet the incidence of burglary, larceny, assault and even murder is rising in all public schools, reports the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency. Statistics suggest that more and more teachers are quitting their jobs out of sheer fear of their students.” Anecdotally, the piece backs up that ominous assessment with these examples: An assistant principal in Maryland had his throat slashed by a former student; a Washington, D.C., teacher was stabbed by a 12-year-old boy; teachers in Illinois are so terrified they’re carrying guns to class.

vailing evidence against a rise in assaults against teachers in a 2008 article published by the National Association of Educators (and available through their website). That article cites these figures, from the National Center for Education Statistics: A smaller percentage of teachers reported being physically attacked in 2003-2004 (3.7 percent) than a decade earlier, in 1993-94 (4.4 percent). In another category, the article noted a smaller percentage of teachers reported threats of violence from students in 2003–04 (7 percent) than in 1993–94 (12 percent). More recent federal statistics show little change from that 2008 report. Nationwide, for the 2007-2008 term, 4.3 percent of teachers reported being physically attacked. In North Carolina, state data lists these percentages for school personnel who’ve been attacked: 5.9 percent in 2007-08; 4.4 percent in 2003-04; 5.5 percent in 1999-2000; 6 percent in 1993-94. While the number has fluctuated, there’s no spike, and in fact it’s slightly lower than a decade ago. That’s not to discount the seriousness when an assault does occur. Even if the percentages aren’t surging, they’re still too high. A single assault is one too many. But as for the idea that it’s suddenly open season on teachers, representative of a general decline in our culture, that just isn’t the case — any more than it was the case back in 1969. • • • Chris Verner is editorial page editor of the Salisbury Post.
Church building project requires patience First Methodist happy to be part of historic downtown BY THE REV. STEPHEN D. HAINES Special to the Salisbury Post
fter reading the recent account of Jack Thomson’s farewell party, I was suddenly struck with the reality that we at First United Methodist Church have done a poor job in keeping others informed as to the progress of our new addition. Due to the past interest created in the community over the project, as well as our downtown location, it is only natural that there would be a great amount of curiosity with regard to the progress of the building’s construction. I realize that it appears our addition is going up very slowly, but I would like to share with you some of the reasons why it seems to be taking such a lengthy period of time. First, we began with a welldocumented 365-day waiting period, and it is very difficult to restart a project once it has lost its momentum. Then we ran into a nationwide economic downturn that has hurt our church as much as it has
A
everyone else. In spite of these setbacks, we were able to methodically persevere with our building plans. In the beginning stages of construction, the project was plagued with very bad weather, as well as multiple problems preparing the soil to receive the stresses associated with a structure such as ours. Also, because our building is located in the historic section of the city, it is obliged to meet many structural obligations that would not be of concern in another location. These requirements take added time and funds. Yet, as a part of historic downtown Salisbury, we do not begrudgingly fulfill these structural mandates. We enthusiastically embrace them because we want our facility to be a beautiful addition to the city that we have served for almost 230 years. This has brought about our most recent problem — finding brick that matches our current structure. The brick that
comprises our campus contains a unique shade of green that has been very hard to replicate. The slate roof is also presenting some challenges with regard to compatibility. While we wish the complications were simpler, we firmly believe that the time-consuming labor is well worth the effort of ensuring that the structure is done right. Yet, as pleased as we are to present the community with a beautiful addition to the corner of Fisher and Church streets, our greatest desire is for the people of this great city to know that the building is not who we really are as a church. The building is only a launching pad for our people to go out into the surrounding area and share the love of Christ in a positive fashion. When you walk into the office of one of our lawyers, you can know that you will be treated in an ethical manner. When you visit one of our physicians, you can know you will be touched with

the healing power of one who cares for your wellbeing. When your children are taught by a teacher who is a member of our congregation, you can know that they will be looked upon as a child of God. When you deal with one of our business people, you can know that you will always be treated fairly. You will find the people of First United Methodist Church in volunteer positions all over this city because, as Methodists, we believe that when we serve others we are joyfully serving Christ. We are told that we should be able to occupy most of the addition by December or January, and we would very much like for everyone to know they are invited to come and share the joy of this new space with us. We are totally dedicated to downtown Salisbury, and we enthusiastically embrace the efforts of the Downtown Salisbury Inc. as it continues to find ways to keep the city a vital center for commerce, entertainment and worship. We believe in the city of Salisbury, and we are proud to be a part of its past, present and future. • • • The Rev. Stephen D. Haines is senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of Salisbury.

INSIGHT
For health-care reform backers, judgment day is near ay you’re a Democratic member of Congress. You proudly cast your vote for Obamacare, you cheered when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed it as the achievement of a generation, and you scoffed at Republicans who vowed to repeal it. Now you’re running for re-election, and a voter asks: What is the most important thing you’ve done in the past two years? The answer should be easy. In BYRON passing the national YORK healthcare bill, you accomplished something your party dreamed of for decades. It was your most important vote, and now is the time to take credit for it. Except it’s not. Recently, top Democratic pollsters Celinda Lake and Stanley Greenberg conducted focus groups in Las Vegas, Nev.; Charlotte, N.C.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and St. Louis, Mo. They also conducted a national poll of 1,000 likely vot-
S
ers and an online poll of 2,000 more likely voters. They wanted to measure the public’s feelings about Obamacare and help Democrats make an effective case for the bill they passed in March. The researchers found what they call a “challenging environment,” which is a nicer way of saying “disaster in the making.” Voters simply aren’t buying the Democratic case that healthcare reform will insure more than 30 million currently uninsured people and save money at the same time. And when they think about their own health care, people worry that reform will mean less, not more, availability of care, and at a higher cost. Faced with that bad news, Lake and Greenberg came up with several recommendations for Democratic candidates. When talking about Obamacare, Democrats should “keep claims small and credible.” They should promise to “improve” the law. They should avoid talking about policy and stick to “personal stories” of people who will benefit from Obamacare. And above all, the pollsters advise, “don’t say the law
The public’s disapproval of Obamacare hasn’t changed in the past five months. will reduce costs and deficit.” It’s a stunning about-face for a party that saw national health care as its signature accomplishment. “This is the first time we’ve seen from Democrats that they clearly understand they have a serious problem in terms of selling this legislation,” says Republican pollster David Winston. The reluctance to defend Obamacare as a cost-cutter and deficitreducer is particularly telling. Wasn’t that the No. 1 reason for passing the bill in the first place? “This legislation will ... lower costs for families and for businesses and for the federal government, reducing our deficit by over $1 trillion in the next two decades,” President Obama said when he signed the bill into law on March 23. Now, Democrats are throwing that argument out the window. It’s no mystery why the party is
in retreat. The public’s disapproval of Obamacare hasn’t changed in the past five months. The RealClearPolitics average of recent polls shows 51 percent of Americans oppose the new law, while 39 percent support it. A variety of pollsters — Rasmussen, CNN, Pew and CBS News — all find significantly more opposition than support. And there’s not just opposition but enthusiasm for outright repeal. “Overall support for repeal has ranged from 52 percent to 63 percent since the law was passed by Congress in March,” writes Rasmussen. The story might be even worse than that for Democrats. Everyone knows the public’s top issue is the economy. It has been since before Obama took office. So when the president and Democratic congressional leadership devoted a year to passing national health care, Republicans charged they were ignoring the public’s wishes. Now, when Democrats admit that Obamacare won’t cut costs or reduce deficits, they open themselves up to a more serious charge: They spent a year working on something that will actually cost jobs and make things

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is this how you’d shrink government? After reading Richard Roberts’ screed in “My Turn” last Monday (Aug. 30), I finally figured out where he is coming from. Mr. Roberts would like to shrink government, cut taxes, stop helping anybody and throw the bums out. As usual, though, Mr. Roberts fails to provide any specifics, except to throw Richard Burr and Howard Coble out, a sentiment I agree with. I gather he also wants to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, widening I85 near Kannapolis and replacing the Yadkin River Bridge and finally to stop sending U.S. tax dollars to the local school system. He never says this, but clearly he must want all these things since they cut spending and reduce government influence. He doesn’t offer any other ideas. The one thing I agree with is that we elect our senators and representatives, and ultimately we have to accept responsibility for what they do and don’t do. I note that Mr. Roberts and his fellow Tea Party travelers were conspicuously silent from 2001 through 2006 when Republicans were in charge and ran up a massive deficit (on borrowed money) after being handed a balanced budget and a multibillion dollar surplus. Where were they back then? For those who would like to learn a little I can recommend two books, both written by Republican cabinet secretaries: Peter Peterson’s “Running On Empty” and Henry Paulson’s “On The Brink.” Peterson describes the basic causes of the deficit as early as 2004 and Paulson, Treasury secretary during the meltdown, describes the difficult decisions he and President Bush were faced with from 2007 through 2008. Both are real and Paulson describes in day-to-day terms how close we came to the Second Great Depression. Mr. Roberts and his fellow travelers would be well-advised to read and learn. So would everyone else. Both books are in the Rowan Library. — John P. Burke Salisbury
Impeach Holder Are there grounds for the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for violating his oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, which he has violated several times? If this is the case, why hasn’t one of our representatives or senators started these procedures? — James Wade Slate Salisbury

worse. “Before, it looked like they were just on the wrong topic,” Winston says. “Now, it makes it look like they’re actually going to hurt the economy.” No wonder Obama and Democratic leaders are constantly saying they want to look forward, not backward. They don’t want to dwell on ancient history, like the events of 2009 and early 2010. But there is no chance in the world Republicans will let them forget it. Just a few months ago, Obama issued a public challenge to opponents who seek to dump Obamacare. “For those Republicans and folks who are on the ‘repeal’ platform, my attitude is, go for it,” the president told a cheering crowd at a Democratic fundraiser in Florida on April 15. “I’ll have that fight. We’ll have that argument.” Well, the time to fight, the time to argue, has arrived. But with everything on the line, the president’s party is trying to run away. • • • Byron York is chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

Critics turn dissent into demonization iberal critics were dead wrong in condemning Glenn Beck for holding a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Nobody owns that place or that date. The real problem with Beck is not where and when he speaks. It’s what he says. And while he insists that he is not a politician, his choice of location clearly reveals his profoundly political purpose. That purpose is not just to disagree with President Obama but also to discredit him, not just to defeat STEVE AND COKIE ROBERTS him but also to demonize him. Listen carefully to Beck and his pals on right-wing radio, such as Rush Limbaugh, and their message is unmistakable. Obama is not “one of us.” He’s “the other.” He’s “un-American.” But that sentiment itself is deeply unAmerican. The great genius of this country is that it welcomes all colors, creeds and nationalities. Unlike the British, say, or the French, we don’t have one image or archetype that defines our identity. Barack Hussein Obama is as American as Glenn Lee Beck, but Beck cannot seem to accept that and neither can his followers who crowded the Mall last weekend. One marcher, Kristine Sullivan, told Salon’s Mark Benjamin that she was “here to take back America. I want it back. I want our country back.” Back from whom, exactly? The implication was obvious: the others, the outsiders, the foreigners, the people with dark skin and funny names and strange religions. And if you think Beck, Limbaugh, et al., are not stirring up these fears and phobias, then you’re not paying attention. Limbaugh now refers to the president as “Imam Hussein Obama” and recently called him “the best anti-American president the country’s ever had.” He endorses the “birther” movement and insists that Obama “has failed to prove” that he’s a natural-born citizen. In the days before his march, Beck said that Obama’s “belief structure” stressed “collectivism, not individual salvation,” and added, “I don’t know what that is, other than it’s not Muslim, it’s not Christian. It’s a perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ as most
L
Christians know it.” For good measure, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Beck asserted that Obama was a follower of “liberation theology,” and added, “It’s Marxism disguised as religion.” Beck and Limbaugh have built a fire under a boiling stewpot of resentment, and they’re tossing in every incendiary innuendo they can put their hands on. Their critique might be incoherent but their mission could not be clearer: to brand Obama as a devil, not just a Democrat. He’s not just misguided; he’s a Marxist, a heretic, an apostate. And who are the true believers? The real Americans? Why the good white Christians who showed up at Beck’s rally, of course. “America today begins to turn back to God,” he assured his followers, “For too long, this country has wandered in darkness.” This drumbeat of denunciation — this deliberate distortion of the president’s background and beliefs — is having an effect. The Pew Research Center found that 18 percent of Americans now think Obama is a Muslim, up from 11 percent at the start of his presidency, and only 34 percent can correctly identify him as a Christian. The correlation of religious views with political views is stunning. Sixty-seven percent of those who say Obama is Muslim disapprove of his presidency; 62 percent of those who call him a Christian like his performance. Obama always knew this was possible, that he was vulnerable to attack as an alien “other.” In an interview with “NBC Nightly News,” he noted, “We dealt with it when we were first running for the presidency. There were those who said I couldn’t win ... because I had a funny name and people would be unfamiliar with it.” But he did win, in large part because he successfully defined himself with a message that said, “I am just like you.” He did that in many ways, telling stories about his kids, his wife, his mother and his struggle. As he told NBC, he was able to convince voters to say to themselves, this fellow is “somebody who cares about me and cares about my family.” Somehow, that connection has been lost. For a growing number of Americans, Obama’s narrative no longer defines who he is. And the haters have filled the vacuum with their falsehoods and fabrications. If Obama wants to win re-election, and have a successful presidency, he has to take back his story, his faith and his very identity. • • • Steve Roberts’ most recent book is “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins).

hen President Barack Obama introduced the first budget of his presidency last February, he piously observed: “There are times where you can afford to redecorate your house, and then there are times when you need to focus on rebuilding your foundation.” He probably wishes he had never said that. While he and the family were vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, a small army of decorators and craftsmen gave the Oval Office a makeover, erasing the last vestiges of George W. Bush just as Bush erased the remaining signs of Bill Clinton’s presence. While Obama’s aides repeatedly stressed that the makeover was done at no cost to the American taxpayers — it was paid for by the privately funded White House Historical Foundation — the redecoration of a perfectly good office reinforced the Obamas’ reputation for relishing the good things in life a little too much — luxury vacation destinations, quick getaways to Manhattan, expensive private schools. And there’s a voter demographic that Obama has been chasing — blue-collar, gunowning, beer-drinking white male Pennsylvanians and their equivalents — who think any interest in interior DALE beyond a recliner and MCFEATTERS design a wide-screen TV is effeminate. George W. Bush got around this problem by subcontracting his redo of the Oval Office to his wife, Laura. We are still awaiting intelligence about whether this president spent evenings curled up with swatches of fabric and paint samples and wallpaper samples or left it in Michelle’s hands and hit the links. This particular demographic does not differentiate among taupe, beige, wheat, caramel and buff; it is all brown. Having wallpaper, like the Oval Office now has, with hand-painted, 3-inch “cafe-au-lait and buff” stripes is dangerously close to being French. Like most of his predecessors, Obama sits at a desk made from the timbers of the British warship Resolute, a gift from Queen Victoria to Rutherford B. Hayes. Hayes, president from 1877 to 1881 is a salutary presidential example of things going wrong in spite of best efforts — the spread of Jim Crow laws, federal troops firing on striking railroad workers and West Coast xenophobia that ultimately led to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Hayes, not surprisingly, opted to serve only one term. The centerpiece of the room is a wheat and cream-colored rug — made of 25 percent recycled wool, we’re told — with a presidential seal in the middle and quotes from Kennedy, Lincoln, the Roosevelts and Martin Luther King Jr. around the border. From the photos it looks like you would bump into a lot of furniture trying to read, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” The company that made the rug donated it, but the Washington Post says the last four presidential rugs ranged in cost from $28,550 to $61,000. (Bo the presidential dog may be getting only limited access to the Oval Office.) Facing each other on the rug are two couches covered in light brown cotton, evoking, in the words of one observer, “the feel of a den.” The portraits of Washington and Lincoln and the grandfather clock stayed. The shelves, which held antique porcelain when the Bushes were in residence, now hold books. It also looks like Obama opted to retain Bush’s choice of a Frederic Remington bronze, “The Bronco Buster,” although it appears to have been moved to another side table across the office. Obama will inevitably take a beating from the right over his choice of decor. But in answering them he should keep one thing in mind: It’s all brown. • • • Dale McFeatters writes columns and editorials for Scripps Howard News Service.

tions tied up more land than would be needed for a real project,” he said. For example, records show Goldman-owned Cogentrix Solar Services, LLC, the subsidiary with no previous solar experience, has a pending application for 13,440 acres in Nevada for a 1,400-megawatt solar plant. Another claim on land nearby asks for 22,400 acres for the exact, same-sized plant. BLM records show other companies proposing the same type of solar plants were asking for 6,000-7,000 acres. Over the years, BLM rejected applications or companies withdrew them, bringing the total active applications to 123. Some of Goldman’s California applications were withdrawn after U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein proposed last year that part of the Mojave Desert where some of the projects were proposed be declared a national monument. Now Goldman holds 10 of the 123, including eight that cover nearly half the land proposed for solar in Nevada. An AP review of BLM’s applications database found Cogentrix has staked more development claims in the Southwestern deserts than any other company. In Nevada alone, Cogentrix has applied for exclusive development rights on nearly as much federal land as all other companies combined. Its active lease applications cover about 120,000 acres — the equivalent of more than eight Manhattans. “Goldman Sachs was one of the first applicants to dot the map with potential projects, and since then they haven’t moved on any of them,” said Gregory Helseth, the BLM’s new renewable energy project manager in southern Nevada. “You can’t hold the land forever. You can’t be a prospector and hope somebody down the road wants to buy.” A Goldman representative defended the firm’s solar investments, saying the Wall Street titan has since gained experience through its 2009 purchase of an aged solar facility in San Bernardino, Calif., that it was moving forward in good faith and was not blocking anyone. The company also recently announced it had reached a deal to build a small, 250-acre project in Colorado on private land. “While we continue to pursue development of projects utilizing public lands in the Southwest, we have not held land reservations if they are determined not to be viable for future solar development,” company spokesman Ed Canaday said in an e-mail. The Obama Administration has identified 14 promising “fast-track” projects targeted for approval by year’s end so they can qualify for stimulus funding. None of Goldman’s claims are among them. When completed, these facilities could generate 6,000 megawatts, enough electricity for several million homes during peak hours. There is a ready market for big plants, with California’s strict climate change laws creating a huge demand among utilities for solar power. Companies that hold BLM solar development applications are prohibited from selling them, but the companies themselves can be sold along with the potentially lucrative applications. Tempe, Ariz.-based First Solar, an industry leader and a maker of solar panels, bought two smaller companies, including the companies’ land rights and power agreements with utility companies. First Solar paid about $400 million for OptiSolar and $285 million for NextLight. Analysts say the sale value of both companies likely was increased because they held BLM solar development applications. First Solar spokesman Alan Bernheimer said the acquisitions were valued on the companies’ signed agreements with utilities not on their BLM land positions. In September, at least two of the “fast-track” proj-

Under Obama administration, more BLM staff like Helseth have been hired to help weed out dormant applications so developers better suited for the job can be found. Officials say the administration is trying to avoid future land rushes by identifying the best solar locations with the fewest environmental impacts, rather having a free-for-all. Critics say BLM should have done this in the first place and help avoid years of delay. “BLM let people file applications willy nilly wherever they wanted,” said Johanna Wald, a land-use attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council.
After meeting other eligibility requirements, the family must meet income requirements. All income available to a family is countable with certain exceptions (i.e. SSI). This includes earned wages, rental income and a wide variety of other income sources such as scholarships, VA benefits, unemployment benefits, child support, alimony, Social Security benefits, inheritance, dividend and interest income, and farm income, to name a few. A family consisting of one parent and one child may be income eligible if their total gross income is less than $472 per month and their resources such as a savings and/or checking account, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds or mutual funds are less than $3,000. The Employment Services assessment is conducted to identify the family’s strengths and resources available and needed to achieve employment through the MRA Plan of Action. This includes developing insight into the family’s social and community support network, a discussion of the family’s finances, budgeting abilities, and work history, activities of daily living to include housing, transportation and child care, their health status for participation, and job readiness. All work-eligible adults
will sign the MRA Plan of Action to specify the required component activities that must be completed each week in order to receive a monthly check. All plans for Work First participation are unique to the individual’s circumstances and situation. A single parent with one child is potentially eligible for $236 a month if the parent completes the hourly activity requirement each week. Work First checks, just like paychecks from employers, are not provided until after the work has been performed. Failure of the parent to participate in the required activities will result in no Work First check being issued for the month. With few exceptions, all employment program participants are subject to a 24month time limit for cash assistance. Federal required work activities that are allowable for participation are: • Employment • Job searching for a maximum of 12 weeks (only four weeks at one time) • Work experience — volunteer work to help the client acquire work habits and skills necessary to obtain employment • Vocational education not to exceed 12 months • High school completion for teen parents who are the heads of their household • Education leading to a high school diploma or its equivalent DSS provides supportive services and participation expenses to Work First recipients who participate satisfactorily with their MRA Plan of Action. This support may include assistance with the costs of transportation, child care, uniforms for work, car repairs, educational costs not covered by the school’s educational assistance (i.e. supplies), and so forth. The Work First program promotes employment so that parents can support their children. To begin the application process for Work First, interested persons must first pick up a packet of program information and complete a few forms to bring with them to an orientation meeting. Orientation meetings are held at the Department of Social Services, 1813 E. Innes Street, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, beginning promptly at 9 a.m. All persons interested in this program must come to the office to pick up a packet of information and forms to be filled out prior to the orientation meeting. For further information, call 704-216-8349.

Sign up for a library card this month September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Rowan Public Library wants to make sure that all children in Rowan County have the smartest card of all — a library card. Public library programming and books for children make a difference in the lives of students. By providing school-age children with engaging programs and amazing collections, students from all backgrounds become excited and enthusiastic readers. Activities at Rowan Public Library during Library Card Sign-up Month include weekly story times for all ages at each library location, teen programs, book clubs for children and adults, computer classes, and a real treat with nationally renowned storyteller Donald Davis performing a family storytelling concert on Thursday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Salisbury Library. “A library card has always been the most important school supply of all,” says Suzanne White, public services manager. “Today’s libraries are thriving technology hubs that millions rely on as either their first or only choice for computer and Internet access. In doing so, libraries provide children with not only the tools to be literate, but information literate, as well. There’s a lot happening at Rowan Public Library, and the best part for both children and parents — in these tough economic times — is that it’s all free with a library card.” Kids and adults can come to the library to get homework or research help and check out books, DVDs and CDs, use learning games, read newspapers and magazines, use the Internet and online tools like study guides and language learning, and attend story times, computer classes and plenty of reading programs. Getting a library card is easy — parents bring photo identification showing current address or photo identification along with other proof of current address. For more information, visit Rowan Public Library in Salisbury at 201 W. Fisher St., in China Grove at 920 Kimball Road or in Rockwell at 110 Broad St. Call 704-216-8228 or see the library’s website at http://www.rowanpubliclibrary.org

SALISBURY POST
Have we really lost our way as human beings? t begins with the death of God, thanks to Darwin, and ends with zombies, declaring that the human being has disappeared, starting in the 19th century. “Unsuspecting Souls: The Disappearance of the Human Being,” by Barry Sanders, is part of the Summer Reading Challenge, and a challenge indeed to read and digest. It should provoke a healthy discussion. Has Sanders gone off the deep end, citing the transcontinental railroad, cameras, movies, the Industrial Revolution, heroin, opium and coDEIRDRE caine, penicillin, PARKER SMITH the Civil War and amusement parks? Or is he right on target? There are arguments for both sides. We weren’t around when the first pictures were printed, or the first moving images were seen. People of the time were frightened by the ghostlike images. “Motion picture technology, the ultimate succubus, had the uncanny capacity to take human flesh and transform it into a ghostly, ethereal presence — or rather, absence.” “...In either case, in the train or in the theater, bodies — people’s own fleshy, well-evolved bodies — suddenly mattered little, if at all.” Sanders blames the railroads for making us slaves to time, for killing the human being by setting a standard time, instead of simply following the sun. Again, he may have a point. There were no time clocks before the 19th century. But to blame quick travel for the death of the human being seems excessive. Sanders blames the high death toll of the Civil War for devaluing the human and making people expendable for a cause. He cites Lincoln’s Gettysburg address — “He gave his country a speech that accorded the idea of men dying in great numbers a secondary or tertiary place to the ultimate importance of the nation itself. Men would have to sacrifice themselves — and it did not matter much which ones they were — to the greater good ...” The argument here is obvious. Is Sanders not familiar with ancient civilizations, Greece, Rome and Egypt? what about the Christians and lions in the coliseum? What about gladiators? He decries slavery in the 19th century. But what about the enslavement of the Jews in Egypt? What about all the people enslaved by conquering armies throughout Europe?
I
Summer Reading Challenge He spends a lot of time talking about death itself, which he argues, has changed. Sanders goes so far as to say death is dead, destroyed by the drugs that alleviate suffering, transplants and medical advances. He tells of a period in the 19th century when people were so afraid of being buried alive, they bought coffins rigged with air pipes or strings to ring a bell should the deceased wake up. Physicians could not accurately declare death — at the time, some simply relied on decay. The phenomenon was so remarkable, it earned a name, taphaphobia, fear of the grave. Sanders predicts, “People will move beyond a mere withdrawal or alienation from death. In the late 20th century, as we shall see, they tire of death and come to see it as a failure of that key system known as our living and breathing selves.” Throughout the book, Sanders cites moments in the 19th century that further removed humanity from the human being. He repeatedly points out that the Oxford English Dictionary has no separate entry for “human being.” It is instead, part of “human” and carries a definition that indicates the phrase “human being” is archaic and nearly laughable. The Industrial Revolution, inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell and others, is the most serious offender to human life. And it’s only getting worse. “The principal issues in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries remain the same. In an age overwhelmed by one machine or another, we struggle to maintain our faith, to hang on to our essence — no, to find our essence,” Sanders writes. Sanders finds the phrase “to get a life,” or “to have a life” bizarre. He says the search for a “life” is peculiar to our times: “The major idea that makes up the concept of ‘a life’ is that people are born with myriad needs, and that everything they require to satisfy those needs exists in the world as scarce commodities, which take great skill and knowledge to get hold of. As human beings gradually lost their sense of humanness, they also lost the feeling that they were autonomous beings who could make free and unencumbered decisions.” Again, he may have a point there. The culture of materialism abounds in America, as we race to buy the latest gadget or newest toy. Computers, of course, carry a heavy price — they make it
possible to change identities, and then lose them: “Our identities can be eradicated in an instant with a simple hack of any corporate computing system, or even our own personal computers. On the Internet, we can become anything we want; we can use any name we choose; we can construct any identity we prefer. The self is a slippery and elusive as one wishes it to be.” True, the anonymity of the Internet leads to a certain viciousness and suspension of acceptable behavior. And what about those zombies? Sanders argues that the scary creatures of the 19th century, Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, Mister Hyde and the zombies will not conform to outside definitions. They have a sense of self: “It may be time to see all those 19th century dream-monsters for what they are, creations from fantastical writers and artists who push their characters and images in one way or another to shed the stultifying world of category and definition to find, once more, the true sense of self and thus, of life.” Is that it? Is that the answer to the huge dilemma Sanders has created? Zombies, Dracula? Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” is often mentioned in
Sanders’ book. It, too, is part of the Summer Reading Challenge. To have read these books back to back is enlightening, to say the least. Shelley was warning of the arrogance of man, especially the scientific man, in the 19th century. Sanders says much the same. Although he is passionate about his thesis, his book somehow lacks compassion. It is a diatribe against the modern era, but it offers no solutions. Nor does the reader learn just what Sanders wants. He points to mistakes and failures, but fails himself to come up with alternatives or solutions. If you are an observer of your fellow human beings, “Unsuspecting Souls” is both frustrating and fascinating. It provokes extreme reactions to extreme accusations. But it does not satisfy the questions it raises. Are we to be left like ghosts, undead, without faith or definition? Or do we have to make “a life” on our own? Dr. Andre Resner of Hood Theological Seminary will discuss “Unsuspecting Souls” at the Summer Reading Challenge panel discusson on Oct. 12. The challenge is sponsored by Rowan Public Library and Waterworks Visual Arts Center.
For a gripping story, read about explorers Lewis and Clark BY PAUL BIRKHEAD Rowan Public Library
I have always been fascinated by stories of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Perhaps it’s because I was born within walking distance of where their journey began in St. Charles, Mo. A recent trip back to Missouri, for me, included a visit to nearby Hartford, Ill., where a monument to Lewis and Clark had just been dedicated. The Lewis and Clark Confluence Tower celebrates not only the two captains but also a view of the area where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers meet. When I returned to North Carolina, I still had Lewis and Clark on my mind, so I decided to see what information Rowan Public Library had on the expedition. “Undaunted Courage,” a New York Times bestseller, is an excellent biography of Meriwether Lewis and a good introduction to the expedition that sought to map out the territory acquired by the U.S. in the Louisiana Purchase. The late historian Stephen Ambrose combined extensive research and his talent for writing to create a work that is very informative and so utterly fascinating that it’s hard to put down. Rowan Public Library also has on DVD the PBS series “Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery.” The documentary, directed and produced by Ken Burns, originally aired in 1997 and is considered by many to be some of Burns’ best work. While not as lengthy as a typical Burns’ production (it clocks in at only four hours), it is full of fascinating facts, period illustrations, stunning video footage and moving narratives read by a host of celebrities. The library has in its
collection the book companion to the series, which is also available for check-out. “Sacagawea of the Lewis and Clark Expedition,” written by Ella Clark and Margot Edmonds, is a biography of the Shoshone Indian woman who accompanied Lewis and Clark out west. Most historians agree that the expedition might have been a complete failure were it not for the help of Sacagawea, the wife of a French trapper who was hired on as a guide. Sacagawea graciously served as an interpreter on several occasions, and she also proved invaluable in procuring horses and supplies from a tribe the group stumbled upon that just happened to include some of her own blood relatives. On a lighter note, “Westward Whoa: In the Wake of Lewis and Clark,” is a story of two friends who head west in an inflatable raft and attempt to follow the same course as Lewis and Clark. Their tale of childish antics and misadventures will keep you laughing as you turn the pages, and you won’t believe what happens to them at the end of their quest. Whether American history sparks your interest or you just like a good, old-fashioned adventure story, anything having to do with the Lewis and Clark expedition will be sure to please.

SALISBURY POST
LOCAL COLUMNS
Recalling and being thankful for prolific Rose Post Editor’s note: Editor Elizabeth Cook’s Aug. 29 column about Rose Post brought to light another writer’s reminiscences, published Aug. 12 in The Dispatch in Lexington. met Rose Post in the early ’90s, though I’d heard about her for quite a few years before that. For more than 50 years, Rose was a columnist/reporter/jack of all trades for the Salisbury STEVE Post. In North HUFFMAN Carolina’s newspaper circles, Rose was something of a legend. No, let me rephrase that. Rose wasn’t “something of a legend.” She was a legend, a master when it came to crafting a story.
I
I used to tell Rose that when I died, she had to write a story about me. But I made her promise she’d leave out the bad parts. I’ve been told Rose won more press awards than anyone in state history, but the one time I asked her, Rose denied knowledge of any such thing. Rose was humble like that. The night I met Rose we were at the annual N.C. Press Association awards ceremony in Chapel Hill. I was writing for the paper in Burlington and won a second-place award for news features. News features is one of the press association’s more popular categories, with hundreds of entries. So I was proud to finish second. In the early ‘90s, the press awards were present-
ed in the Friday Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Hundreds of people from newspapers across the state attended. The Friday Center includes a large auditorium, and winners were given seat numbers, seated according to the category in which they’d won. Firstplace winners were seated next to second-place winners who were followed by those who finished third. Eventually, everyone stood up and marched across a stage where they were given their awards before posing with the governor for photographs. It was pretty mundane stuff, but they served alcohol afterward. This particular year, I was given the number to my seat and was easing my way down the aisle toward it.
When I got to where I was supposed to sit, there was a small, older Jewish woman wearing glasses looking up at me. I recognized her. “You’re Rose Post,” I said. “Yes, I am,” Rose replied, probably aware for a number of years who she was. It was then that it dawned on me that I’d finished second to Rose in news features. Had I finished second to God I couldn’t have been more proud. I eventually joined Rose on the staff of the Salisbury Post where I worked for the better part of 10 years. Rose churned out copy at a prolific rate. It was all good, and often great. Rose shared wonderful stories about her years in the newspaper business. She said that when she came to work at the Post in
the early ‘50s, when a Highway Patrol trooper called to report a fatality, he’d insist on speaking to a male reporter because he feared a female would be too delicate to hear the gory details of the accident. The trooper didn’t know who he was talking to. Rose was tough as nails. I asked Rose once if she remembered that night we met in Chapel Hill. She said she did, but I’m not sure she wasn’t just trying to humor me. Rose met a lot of people during her career. Rose’s husband, Eddie, died a few years ago, and Rose’s health took a turn for the worse not long after. She’s in her 80s and no longer working for the Post. I’m friends with Rose’s son, Sam, on Facebook. Like his mother, Sam is a writer and a darn good one. This week he posted a touching
column about visiting his mother at the retirement home where she lives and struggles with Alzheimer’s. Sam wrote that, nowadays, it’s difficult for Rose to speak, much less write. “A mother without words” is what Sam titled his piece. The title is ironic considering all the words Rose produced over the course of her career. Sam’s column made me sad, but it also made me smile. Rose would want us to remember her for the good times. And, personally, I’m grateful to Rose for the night she made me feel my writing was second only to God’s. • • • Steve Huffman writes for The Dispatch in Lexington and is a resident of Spencer.

Eastern High Trio Caring teachers knew how to make a positive impact on students’ lives fter graduation from Barbour Intermediate School, in 1940, I entered the 10th grade at Eastern High School in Detroit. In those days, one was to select a particular course of study — college preparatory or, in my case, commercial. I realized I could never attend college because there was no money for such a luxury. The United States was just emerging from the Depression, and my father had been suffering with heart disease. My sister, Leona, had graduated from VICTOR S. Eastern in 1933 with high honors. My brothFARRAH er, George, also graduated from Eastern in 1939 with high honors, and in 1942, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the Pacific Theater until 1945, at the war’s end. My interest was in some kind of retail career, which was my reason for selecting a commercial course. To help with finances at home, I had a couple of jobs. I enjoyed attending Eastern because of its competent teachers, especially one who was the most inspiring educator I have ever met in my life besides my brother, George, who became a university professor. William Arbaugh was our English literature teacher, and I admired him tremendously. He taught with enthusiasm. His most remarkable trait was his ability to cultivate in all his students a desire to develop a keen and dedicated interest in Shakespeare. Every student in our class had the opportunity to read aloud various passages of “Hamlet,” “Macbeth” and “Richard III,” usually from our seats in the classroom. In those days, I was very self-conscious because I often wore “handme-down” clothes that George had worn. I had very little self-confidence, and my feeling of inferiority was severe. My father’s illness had progressed and he was unable to work. George, Leona and my mother worked to keep the family solvent, and I was ashamed of my circumstances. Apparently, Mr. Arbaugh knew about my situation and, to this very day, I know that he made specific efforts to help me overcome my feelings of dismay and insecurity. About 25 students were in his class. When we read aloud, everyone would read sitting at their desks — except when my turn came. Mr Arbaugh politely asked me to read standing at the front of the class. When I was reading from “Hamlet,” he would interrupt by saying to the class, “Now, isn’t that wonderful! Doesn’t Victor read well and with a nice voice?” He made my day much happier and my life brighter with those kind words of encouragement. That entire year in Bill Arbaugh’s English literature class was idyllic — a class that I cherished and anticipated attending with feelings of exciting enthusiasm. I was to graduate in January 1943 and received excellent marks in all my classes; however, my father’s sudden death on Dec. 5, 1942, changed my life. The decision to leave school and find a full-time job was imperative. My father and mother had bought a house at 3059 Townsend with money borrowed from a friend as a down payment. When the insurance company refused to pay any of my father’s policies, my mother realized the terrifying financial problem she must try to solve. At that time, my youngest brother and sister lived at home, while the rest were away: George was in New
A
Guinea; John and Ed were married; and Leona had moved to Ann Arbor, working her way through the University of Michigan. I left school and found a job at Packard Motor Car Co. as an assistant operator in the test cells, where RollsRoyce aircraft engines were being tested before installation as power plants in the P51 Mustang Fighter airplanes. I was disappointed to leave Eastern High School, and I certainly did not enjoy the noise and turmoil of working in a factory. The pay was excellent, though, and my mother appreciated the money which helped to ease her worry and stress. In January 1943, I received a phone call from Mr. Arbaugh, inviting me to a meeting with him and gym teachers Art Erwin and Curtis MacDougall. I was surprised. The last conversation I had with anyone at Eastern was with my counselor, Edgar Smith, who advised me to leave school and seek full-time employment because I was absent too often working at part-time jobs. I met with the trio of teachers, and their sincere concern about my future made me feel relaxed. They advised me to attend night classes to complete required credits for graduation in the June 1943 class. Their kind interest in my future was overwhelming, and they insisted that each of them would be available for any consultation required at any time. This trio really delivered a spirited pep talk. Later, I learned that all this was the result of planning by Bill Arbaugh. These men were a vital influence on my future, because I did attend night school and had the honor and privilege to graduate with my class. Later in life, I had another meeting with my benefactor. Employed at Ver Hoven Woodward Chevrolet in Detroit as a truck salesman, I received a call one afternoon in 1951 from Mr. Arbaugh, then principal at Northern High School in Detroit. He inquired about buying a new car, and I agreed to meet him at his office at the school. I had difficulty concealing my excitement about being remembered by this concerned and compassionate man. Walking into the school office, I was greeted by his secretary who asked my name. When I replied, “I’m here to see Mr. Arbaugh,” a voice in another office answered, “Vic, come on in; I would recognize that wonderful voice anywhere!” After we enjoyed an interesting and delightful visit, he did buy a new car from me. Words cannot give adequate credit and honor to this unusually thoughtful man. And those close colleagues — Bill Arbaugh, Art Erwin and Curtis MacDougall — changed my life. They helped me to eventually become a successful businessman. In 1960, I managed to buy a Chevrolet dealership of my own in Meadville, Pa., with the assistance of General Motors, whom I was able to repay every dollar I had borrowed. A uniquely devoted William Arbaugh transformed my life. He was the most inspiring and dedicated teacher; and I was honored to be one of his respectful and admiring pupils. May God always keep him and bless him, a truly loving Christian with a profound understanding of what teachers should and can do for their charges. Bill, Art and Curtis, I shall always have precious memories of the “Eastern High School Trio”! • • • Victor S. Farrah is a resident of Salisbury.
Of mice and rats: Churn, churn, churn H
ave you ever seen a rat? I’m not talking about a little mouse. I’m talking about a big rat. Not only have I seen one, but I actually had two living in my house. One of the rats was female and the other male. Let me start from the beginning. When my oldest daughter was in sixth grade, one of her friends gave her DICY rats to bring MCCULLOUGH two home. She not only inherited the two rats, but she also inherited two big black metal cages for them to live in. On the afternoon she brought them home, I opened the door to her room to see what she was doing, and there were the ugliest, most disgusting creatures I had ever seen. I let out a bloodcurdling scream. I had never seen a rat up close before, and mind you it
was quite a shock. It wasn’t that I was afraid of these rats; it was just that they were ugly and gross. They each had huge, beady eyes and a long, pointy nose. Their tails looked like thick pink rubber, and each tail was wrapped around the metal wire of its cage. Each rat’s beady eyes seemed as if they could see right into your soul. We kept these rats for only about a month because my daughter told her sixth-grade science teacher about the rats. He then asked her if she would bring them to school for the students to see. I was only too happy to take them, and I must tell you, they never came back to my house again. You may wonder why in the world I would even think of something like this now. Well, it’s because I heard several stories about mice this week. The stories got me to thinking about rats, which in turn, triggered the memories of the rats in my daughter’s room. One of the stories I heard was about two mice in a bucket
Juror gets in trouble for Facebook verdict MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit-area woman who was removed from a jury for commenting about the ongoing case on Facebook has a longer writing task ahead: a five-page essay about the constitutional right to a fair trial. A judge ordered the essay Thursday for Hadley Jons three weeks after she wrote on Facebook that it was “gonna be fun to tell the defendant they’re GUILTY.” The trial wasn’t over. “I’m sorry, very sorry,” Jons, 20, of Warren told Macomb County Circuit Judge Diane Druzinski. The post was discovered by the defense team Aug. 11 — before the defense had even started its case — and Jons was removed from the jury the next day. Druzinski told Jons that it didn’t matter whether she used Facebook to express an opinion or simply spoke to a friend about the case. “You violated your oath. ... You had decided she was already guilty without hearing the other side,” the judge said. By Oct. 1, Jons must submit an essay about the 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and pay a $250 fine.

of cream. It seems one of the mice just gave up and drowned. The other mouse started kicking, and eventually he made butter out of the cream and crawled out. The idea behind this story is which mouse are you? Do you give up and drown, or do you keep kicking and find your way out? For me, I think it depends upon the circumstances. One thing is for sure, though, it helps to have friends and family around if you ever do fall in a bucket of cream. They make the process of churning the cream into butter a whole lot easier. The relationships we have with our family and friends should be nurtured in the good times, because you just never know when that bucket of cream might be waiting for you. • • • Dicy McCullough is a freelance writer and poet who lives in Rowan County.
