Rowan-Salisbury School System’s Scholastic Aptitude Test scores continue to lag behind state and national averages with a score of 1,396 in 2010, falling 46 points from 1,442 the previous year. Statewide, the score was 1,485, down one point from last year. The national average has been 1,509 for last two years. Every high school in the district showed a decrease in average scores, ranging from nine points at East Rowan to 104 points at Salisbury. “There are many factors that influence who takes the SAT, when it is taken and how the in-
dividual student prepares for it,” Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said in a press release. “The district will continue to review these scores and work with the individual high schools to look at ways to address the needs of student as they prepare to take the SAT in the future.” School system officials said teachers are encouraged to incorporate SAT-type questions into classroom assessments and tests. The SAT consists of critical reading, mathematics and writing sections. Students can score a maximum of 2,400 on the test. The data, released Monday by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, is based on the most recent SAT

Winter festival planned this year BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — For now, at least, there will be one fewer Christmas parade in our area this holiday season. By unanimous vote at Monday’s meeting, the Kannapolis City Council decided not to organize the annual parade this year. Instead, Kannapolis Parks and Recreation will host an event on Dec. 4 at Village Park, site of the city’s annual summer movies and concerts. Immediately after the meeting, an e-mail went out to parade participants from Kannapolis Parks and Recreation, with an attached letter from Mayor Bob Misenheimer explaining the decision. “Believe me when I say this has not been an easy
Other volunteers help, especially on the day of the festival, but the rest of the year, Qadirah is pretty much a onewoman event planner. Her only pay is the reward of seeing another festival successfully come together.

Dr. Micheal Grusak, who will direct a research project in Kannapolis for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, talks with Lynne Scott Safrit and David Murdock.
KANNAPOLIS — N.C. Research Campus founder David Murdock touted his top three private partners Monday, as well as a long-pursued relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. During a forum that was short on science but long on enthusiasm for the Research Campus’ unusual model, Murdock promised expansion, growth and jobs in the next 12 months. “We slowed down, but now we’re picking up speed again,” said the 87-year-old billionaire and chairman of Dole Food Co. Lead scientists for Dole Food, Monsanto and General Mills briefly described their goals at the biotechnology complex in Kannapolis to understand fruits, vegetables and grains at the molecular level and iden-

KANNAPOLIS — For the time being, Kannapolis city leaders won’t act on plans to build a waterline to Albemarle in partnership with Concord. The Kannapolis City Council tabled discussion of the interbasin transfer agreement that would allow the cities to eventually pump up to 10 million gallons per day of water from the Yadkin River. Kannapolis wants to consider minor changes to the agreement to ensure the water sale can go forward even if Alcoa loses its bid to maintain control over the river. Alcoa is currently seeking a new 50-year license to operate its hydroelectric facilities on the Yadkin. The power plant originally served the company’s aluminum smelting plant. Now, it exists just to sell electricity back to the grid. “The state’s view is that Alcoa is now controlled by global interests and may not have local interests at heart,” Legg said. No matter who ultimately controls the Yadkin’s

Argument over military ends in gunfire A Sunday morning argument over which branch of the military is better — the Marine Corps or Air Force — ended with living room wrestling and a gun going off, sending the Marine Corps fan to the hospital. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Randall Guillory, 55, of 360 Sweet Gum Lane, went to the home of David Michael Binges, 49, of 680 Sweet Gum Lane to hang out and drink. Authorities said the two began arguing over which branch of the military was better, and that after Binges asked Guillory to stop talking about it five

tional average. Math scores by school from highest to lowest are: East Rowan, 504; Jesse Carson, 497; South Rowan, 491; Salisbury 485; West Rowan, 483; North Rowan, 478. The district’s average reading score fell 13 points from 479 to 466, 31 points below the state average and 35 behind the nationwide average. Reading scores by school from highest to lowest are: East Rowan, 479; Carson, 476; West Rowan, 464; South Rowan, 463; Salisbury, 461; North Rowan 442. The writing portion of the test was first administered in March 2005. The district’s average writing score of 440 is 37 points below the state average of 477 and 52 points below the national average. Rowan-Salisbury average writing scores fell 18 points from 457 in 2009 to 440 this year. Writing scores by school from highest to lowest are: East Rowan, 456; Carson, 443; South 439; North Rowan, 435; Salisbury 43. Colby Cochran, the district’s testing and accountability director, said the SAT’s writing section is similar to the on-demand writing that is assessed in elementary and middle schools. “Being able to take a position and support it with logical reasoning and examples taken from prior reading, studies, experiences and observations is a necessary skill for the 21st century learner,” he said. The district’s focus on literacy to improve graduation rates will go hand-in-hand with preparing students for
the SAT. “RSS administrators and teachers work hard to dispel the notion that writing only takes place in English class,” Grissom said. “To write well, students must also be good readers, be able to think critically and have quality experience upon which to draw when they write.” • • • Kannapolis City Schools’ A.L. Brown saw a decrease of 18 points from 1,445 to 1,427. Nearly 41 percent of senior at A.L. Brown took the test last year. The math score rose five points from 496 to 501. In 2009, the school’s math score fell 23 points from 519 in the previous year. Both the average reading and writing scores decreased. Reading dropped 12 points from 479 to 467 and writing fell 11 points to 459. • • • Gray Stone Day School, a charter school based on the campus of Pfeiffer University, had a slight dip of four points from 1,662 to 1,658. The school ranks sixth in the state for the highest combined reading and math score of 1,130. All 63 seniors took the SAT last year up from 88 percent in 2009. The school’s average math score climbed 14 points from 548 in 2009 to 562 this year. The reading score, six points from 568 to 562 and writing score dropped 10

Jenkins honored for 25 years as CEO of higher education B Y L AURIE D. W ILLIS Livingstone College News Service
Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins has been the chief executive officer at higher education institutions for 25 years — a milestone certainly worth celebrating. And that’s exactly what officials plan to do JENKINS Friday. Jenkins, who assumed the chief administrative post at Livingstone in February 2006, will
be honored with an anniversary celebration titled “The Legacy of a Leader: Soaring to Higher Heights.” All events will take place on Livingstone’s campus. The celebration will dovetail with Livingstone College’s theme for 2010-2011: “Defying the Odds.” Jenkins grew up in Selma, and didn’t plan on attending college after finishing high school. However, after spending time in New York with an aunt and seeing how little money he stood to earn with only a diploma, he enrolled at Elizabeth City State University. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in biology from ECSU, he went on to earn a master’s degree
and a doctorate in biology from Purdue University in Indiana. Livingstone College Board of Trustees member Dorothy Colson, chairwoman of the program committee for the 25th Anniversary Celebration, said organizers have worked hard to ensure the event is worthy of Jenkins’ exemplary tenure in higher education. “The committee has done an excellent job, and this celebration would not have come together without their participation and support,” Colson said. “I am looking forward to it. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has been good work. I’m very excited about it,

David Walker has always thought highly of Sidney Sessoms, director of bands at Livingstone College — so much so that Walker is trying desperately to raise the necessary $6,000 so the high school band he directs can participate in Livingstone’s homecoming parade Oct. 2 — all the way from Arkansas. “Mr. Sessoms taught me at Lincoln University,” Walker said in a telephone interview. “He was my band director and basically taught me everything I know, so I want to come back and make

The furthest east the majority of my students have been is Mississippi. This will be something brand new for them, and it’s very much appreciated that

World War II vets going to D.C. on Flight of Honor On Oct. 2, close to 20 World War II veterans from Rowan County will go on Rotary District 7680’s fifth Flight of Honor to Washington, D.C. The veterans, who live in Salisbury, China Grove, Rockwell and Cleveland, will visit the World War II Memorial and other memorials of interest to them. More than 110 veterans from all branches of military service will go on this USAirways charter flight, and they will ride chartered buses to the various memorials. They will visit the World War II Memorial first and, after a catered lunch, will make additional stops in the city. The group will depart Reagan National Airport in time to be back in Charlotte between 7 and 8 p.m. the same day. Flight of Honor Chair Kelly Morris of the Gastonia East Rotary Club said Rowan is one of 12 counties in District 7680 that will have veterans on the flight. There also will be three veterans from South Carolina. “The Flights of Honor are our small way of saying thanks for what the veterans did for our country in defeating Ger-
LANDIS — The town hopes a pamphlet included in utility bills will clear up some confusion among customers about renewable energy fees. The fees help fund renewable energy efforts required by state legislation enacted in 2007. The law requires electric utilities to generate a portion of their power supply from renewable sources. Utilities can generate or buy renewable energy such as solar or wind, reduce electricity use through energy-efficiency programs and buy renewable certificates. It’s a fee the town absorbed in the past, but during this year’s budget retreat, aldermen decided to pass on that cost to customers. Town Manager Reed Linn said residents thought the fee was for the recycling program. He said it was not. Customers are not charged for the recycling program. Residential electric customers pay 55 cents per month, commercial customers pay $2.21 per month and industrial customers pay $31.42 per month. The charge is labeled “renewable energy charge” and is listed as a separate item on the bill. Alderman James Furr said this pamphlet should’ve been distributed some time ago. He said if the town newsletter was up and running, residents could find out about what’s going on in the town. Linn said he received requests from businesses interested in joining the recycling program, which is currently residential. Linn said perhaps the businesses should call SHARK Recycling directly. Mayor Dennis Brown suggested the town staff come up with an appropriate way for businesses to be included in the program.
man Nazism and Japanese militarism,” Morris said. “All expenses are paid for the veterans. The Rotary Clubs and individual Rotarians have contributed most of the money for the first four flights, but now the Flight of Honor needs assistance from individuals, companies, foundations and other organizations in the 14 counties of our Rotary District.” Each flight costs more than $60,000 for the chartered plane, buses for ground transportation in Washington, lunch, wheelchair rentals and other expenses. Sponsoring one veteran costs $500, and contributions are deductible under the federal tax code. Checks may be mailed to Rotary Flight of Honor, P.O. Box 495, Gastonia, NC 28053. Additional information is on the website: www.flightofhonor.org. On each flight, there are emergency medical technicians and a physician — all volunteers. Rotarians and others, also volunteers, serve as guardians to assist veterans in wheelchairs or those using walkers and canes.
Each guardian is assigned three veterans. Most of the guardians pay $300 each for the privilege of serving as guardians. There are floating guardians to help out where needed, especially late in the day when some veterans who started out walking tire out and need to use a wheelchair for the rest of the day. “We have only a small window of opportunity to honor these veterans with a flight because all of them are now in their 80s and 90s,” Morris said. “We plan to have another flight in the spring of 2011 if there is enough demand. “We already have more than enough applications to fill the Oct. 2 flight. Each veteran deserves the opportunity to go on a Flight of Honor, if health permits, and District 7680 Rotarians want to send all veterans in our district who want to go." The Rowan County veterans going on the next Flight of Honor include: • William F. Anderson, Army; • David S. Clay, Army; • Duard Cress, Navy; • James F. Curlee, Army; • John B. Fisher, Army;
• Dale Graham, Army Air Force; • Homer G. Hall, Army Air Force; • Lawrence Lee, Army; • Kermit Mitchell, Army Air Force; • William Lee Mowery, Navy; • Elmer Safrit, Navy; • George Summers, Army Air Force; • Charles Webster, Army Air Force; • Joel Corriher, Navy; • Carl Sloop, Army; • William Morrow, Army; • James Carter, Army; • Whirley Holmes, Navy; • Harlen Sanne, Army. There are 53 Rotary Clubs in District 7680. Rotary is a volunteer organization with more than 33,000 clubs in 200 countries. The organization initiates humanitarian programs that address issues, such as hunger, poverty and illiteracy. Rotary District 7680 encompasses clubs in Anson, Ashe, Alleghany, Alexander, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Richmond, Rowan, Stanly, Union and Wilkes.
• Approved a resolution to adopt the updated county hazard mitigation plan. Rowan County Emergency Services Director Frank Thomason spoke to the board about the plan. It is a multi-jurisdictional plan that has to be updated every five years. The federal government mandates that a plan be submitted. The plan addresses the community’s risk to natural or man-made hazards. The plan implements a strategy to deal with hazards. • Discussed a second photography workshop Saturday, Oct. 16 from 9:30 a.m.-noon. Deputy Town Clerk Debbie Goodman said in order to attend, participants must sign up by Oct. 11, no later than 4:30 p.m. A sign-up sheet is available on the town’s website www.townoflandis.com. The workshop will be held at Landis Town Hall, council chambers, 312 South Main St. The cost of the workshop is $20. She said there is a beginner and intermediate workshop being offered. • Discussed plans for a Halloween festival in the downtown area, Oct. 30, with hay rides and other activities. Town Manager Reed Linn said plans also include a possible Trunk or Treat, where children can get candy from town employees. • Received an update from Lex Graham, president of the Southern Rowan Sports League, about how the program has gone so far. The league is made up of volunteers who serve as commissioners who run the program. Graham said there are 127 children participating, 72 girls and 55 boys. The league has 13 sponsors that include local businesses and an operating budget of $11,300. Volunteers also painted the pool concession stand at Graham field, with hopes to build one for the field. “The materials and labor will all be donated,” Graham said. After the concession is built, the league intends to maintain it, but give it to the town. The board approved league moving forward with the project. • Heard from Doug Smith, who is running for District Court judge. Smith told the board of his experience and his interest in talking with them.

SCANNER TRAFFIC Wreck sends two to hospital Two people were transported to Rowan Regional Medical Center following a wreck on West Innes Street this afternoon. Lauren Cloer, driving a green Honda Accord, with passenger, Gerale New, were complaining of neck and chest pain after airbags deployed when they struck another vehicle. According to a witness, Cloer was traveling east on Innes Street when the driver of a white Nissan Pathfinder attempted to make a left turn onto Overman Avenue in front of her vehicle. Cloer struck the Pathfinder. The driver and passenger of the Pathfinder were from Greensboro and were on their way to volunteer at the VA Hospital.
Man hits officer with car door A Rowan County man was charged with assault on a government official Saturday after Salisbury Police say he intentionally opened his car door, slamming it into the leg of an officer. Trelis Lespor Edwards, 30, was charged and placed in the Rowan County jail under a $500 secured bond. According to the Salisbury Police Department, Officer K. H. Boehm pulled Edwards over after discovering his license was expired. When he told Edwards he would have to have someone come pick him up, police say Edwards rolled up his window, trying to ignore the officer and stop their conversation. The officer asked Edwards to stop rolling up the window, and Edwards told him he would not, and then opened up the driver’s side door and purposefully struck the officer’s leg, police say. Edwards continued to curse at the officer. However, police say he was not phys-

Officer cleared after shooting incident
A desk receptionist working at the Salisbury Travel Lodge on Jake Alexander Boulevard was forced into a closet by three masked males with guns Sunday morning, and the burglars got away with cash from the hotel’s register. According to the Salisbury Police Department, around 8 a.m. Sunday, three black males, all wearing bandannas over their faces, came into the lobby of TravelLodge, and two of the men grabbed the clerk, Heather West. According to police, the clerk said one of the males grabbed her by her hair and forced her into a nearby closet. West told police the male who forced her into the closet had something in his hand — possibly a gun — but it was covered by a cloth. She called police from the closet and came out when police arrived. The three men got away with cash, but have not been found. One of the males was wearing a black shirt with blue stripes, but West could not remember what the other two suspects were wearing. A K9 track to find the
A Livingstone College student was robbed at gunpoint Friday night as he and three young women were walking from Sonic back to campus. According to the Salisbury Police Department, 18-yearold Johnny Ervin Sturdivant was approaching the 700 block of West Horah Street when a black male approached him, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and pointed it at him, demanding Sturdivant hand over everything he had. Sturdivant gave the suspect his watch and a small amount of money. Sturdivant described the suspect as a black male, around 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. He was wearing a red bandanna around his neck, a long white shirt and dark pants. The females walking with Sturdivant were not robbed or harmed.
In a press release, East Spencer Police Chief Floyd Baldo reports that officer Cassandra Rankin has been cleared by Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly in an Aug. 25 shooting incident. Rankin shot at a man she believed to be armed during a traffic stop. Rankin said the man approached her aggressively and had something shiny in his hand. He did not obey her orders and she fired at him, but missed. It was later discovered he was holding a cell phone. Baldo had previously cleared Rankin, but asked for the District Attorney’s Office and State Bureau of Investigation to step in. The SBI would not review the case. Kenerly wrote in his letter to Baldo: “I have reviewed Officer Rankin’s report concerning her firing her weapon on August 25, 2010, and have concluded that Officer Rankin did not violate the criminal law. Since the State Bureau of Investigation has declined to review this matter, I consider it closed.”

Battle Jr., who presides over the Northeastern Episcopal District and is a member of Livingstone’s board of trustees; and Walker are ex-officio members of the program committee. “When you’ve been in higher education as long as Dr. Jenkins has, you’ve undoubtedly touched thousands of lives, and I’m confident Dr. Jenkins has been a tremendous role model and blessing to countless young people,” Walker said. “He has done an outstanding job at Livingstone College, where enrollment continues to increase, the college operates in the black and under the Total Learning Environment students are learn-
ing what they need to know to enable them to assume their rightful place in today’s global society. “I cannot think of anyone more deserving to be celebrated than Dr. Jenkins, and I look forward to participating in the weekend’s events and sharing this wonderful milestone with him.” The anniversary celebration begins Friday, when Livingstone holds its annual fall convocation. A public reception for Jenkins will be held on the front lawn after the convocation. That night beginning at 6:30, a formal program of recognition and evening of entertainment will be held in Varick Auditorium. James Stephens, a world-renowned actor, comedian and impressionist, will serve as emcee and special guest for this event, and the Livingstone College Concert Choir, which received a rousing standing ovation in
April after a debut performance at Carnegie Hall, will perform several selections. The cost per person is $25 for the evening’s program, and all proceeds will be used to support The Holistic College Endowment Fund, Colson said. Jenkins became the 12th president of Livingstone College in February 2006 after being president of Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Fla., from 1997 to 2005 and chancellor of his alma mater, Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, from 1977 to 1995. He and his wife, Dr. Faleese Moore Jenkins, have three children: Dr. Lisa Lopez, attorney Ginger Cartwright and Jimmy Jr., a graphic artist and college lecturer.

right now, I’m concentrating on what it entails to pull the parade together and make it a success.” Reese said this year’s parade will offer a glimpse of Livingstone’s past with members of the class of 1960, a sense of Livingstone’s present with Miss Livingstone Cassaundra Rhodes, and a taste of Livingstone’s future with members of the class of 2014. Sessoms is excited about the possibility of participation from a band directed by one of his former students. And he’s glad that for the first time in almost 20 years, a Rowan County high school band will march in Livingstone’s homecoming parade. East Rowan High School will be in this year’s procession, and Sessoms said he anticipates more local bands will join in the fun. Also, the marching band at Ben L. Smith High School in Greensboro hopes to participate, he said. “I’m enthusiastic about the
possibility of having more bands participate this year than we have had in previous years, perhaps at least six or seven,” Sessoms said. “Homecoming parades are a great way for high school bands to show off their talent and to receive recognition that goes beyond what they receive when playing at high school football contests. Homecoming is serious business here at Livingstone College, as it is at all HBCUs, and we really want to make this year’s parade special. I am confident that will happen.” There is no cost for nonprofit organizations to participate in Livingstone’s homecoming parade. For-profit organizations must pay a $15 entry fee, Reese said. All participants are asked to register by Sept. 24 and can do so by emailing Reese at kreese@livingstone.edu. “Each year there are people who want to attend Livingstone’s homecoming but who can’t,” Reese said. “Some of
them cannot afford to come to the game, while others may have scheduling conflicts. To that end, the parade is a great way to engage the public and allow them a chance to participate in our homecoming in some way.” For more information, please call Reese at 704-2166001.

SALISBURY POST
6A • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2010
FROM 1a A festival that scraped by on about $1,500 in its first year, now costs $25,000 to $30,000 to produce, given its staying power, solid reputation and ability to attract good musicians. Performers from past festivals have included Big Bill Morganfield, Mac Arnold and the Plate Full of Blues, Cephas and Wiggins, Homemade Jamz Blues Band and Big Jack Johnson. Regulars have always been — and will be again at this year’s Oct. 16 festival — Joe Robinson and his jazz band and Bob Paolino, who goes by Blazin’ Blues Bob. Robinson will be joined on stage by vocalist Diane Tuffin. Arnold will return. He was once a member of Muddy Waters’ blues band. Other headline acts include Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin, who also played with Waters, and the young Gina Sicilia of Philadelphia, who was a 2008 Blues Music Award nominee for “Best New Artist Debut.” The Brubakers of Salisbury will perform contemporary jazz, and the big act Oct. 16 will be bluesman Hubert Sumlin, whose guitar first gained acclaim in support of Howlin’ Wolf on blues classics such as “Killing Floor,” “Shake for Me” and “Hidden Charms.” The late Jimi Hendrix supposedly said once that Sumlin was his favorite guitar player. Music biographer Bill Dahl says Sumlin has shared stages with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith and Santana during a solo career that spanned 32 years after Wolf’s death. As with many bluesmen, he also played with Muddy Waters. While her festival has grown, Qadirah relishes the diverse nature of those who attend and the family atmosphere it seems to have maintained. People are still advised, for example, to bring chairs and/or blankets. “There’s no other event of this nature,” Qadirah says. “People from Fulton Street are sitting next to people from Long Street.” The first festival in 1999 relied on a makeshift stage fashioned from the floor of a single-wide trailer. Today, Qadirah leases a much more modern stage from Miller Davis Studio. “It was a cultural, integrating experience,” Qadirah recalls of the first festival, called the Blues and Jazz Jam and Fish Fry. “I was pleased with the excite-
ment. ... Musicians love the audience in Salisbury because it is so diverse.” Qadirah says a lot of people learned how to eat a real fish sandwich at the first festival, too. “How you going to eat a fish sandwich with bones?” the inexperienced asked. Qadirah explained several times that day how you fillet the fish with your fingers, pulling out the spiny bone before returning the bun and chomping down. A couple of things are changing about the festival this year. The Blues and Jazz Festival won’t be held on the same Saturday as OctoberTour’s first day. The festival is a week later. The OctoberTour weekend just became too crowded with events that competed against each other, Qadirah says. Also for the first time this year, the festival will charge an admission price — $5 for general admission and $10 for VIP reserved seats in front of the stage. The planned admission charge last year was dropped when an anonymous donor stepped in to help with funding. “Five dollars is more than reasonable, especially after you get to know the lineup,” Qadirah says. She promises great food vendors from several states — another source of income for the little festival. “It costs money to put these festivals on,” Qadirah says, “and somebody has to pay.” Qadirah, whose maiden name was Patterson, spent her youth in Rowan County, but after going to school at N.C. Central University and a brief teaching stint in Taylorsville, she lived much of her adult life in Baltimore and New York. As with the festival, she wore many hats over the years in roles such as home economics teacher, dietitian, teacher trainer and caterer. She has degrees in criminal justice, home eco-
nomics and special education. “I’ve covered so much ground in so many areas,” she says. In New York, she did everything from teaching home economics to young adult male prisoners to catering events for jazz musicians. At J.C. Price High School in Salisbury, Qadirah had learned the clarinet and saxophone from band director I.J. Olds. (She says she also can play the guitar.) A cancer survivor, Qadirah returned to Salisbury in 1995 to live with her mother, Ruth Booker, and she eventually became involved with the United Arts Council. When she first started talking about the possibility of a Blues and Jazz Festival, Qadirah saw it as a way to round out the arts offerings in Salisbury. She received help from then Arts Council director Linda Kesler in connecting to names and sponsors. Musicians Qadirah lined up volunteered to play for free, so she only had to pay for one of the acts, the Ladies Auxiliary Blues Band from Greensboro. At that first festival, held where today’s Farmers Market is located, storyteller Jackie Torrence and blues guitarist Paolino performed something from “Blues Story,” a play written by the late Torrence. After the success of the first festival, Qadirah formed the Rowan Blues and Jazz Society, which remains the official host of the annual festival. The nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organization’s mission statement says it is dedicated to “preserve, promote and present the art forms of blues and jazz music, with emphasis on the music performed by musicians of the Piedmont region of North Carolina.” You’ve probably seen Qadirah around Salisbury. “They call me ‘Q,’” she
I T O A D LL! E W
says of some friends. At the Wrenn House restaurant, the staff also refers to her as “Miss Salisbury,” because she always seems to be coming in with a different group. Growing up, she attended Dunbar School in East Spencer in elementary grades and then J.C. Price High in Salisbury. “I know people all over the county,” she explains. At workshops and meetings, when everybody in the room or circle is asked to say something about themselves, Qadirah often shares this nugget: “I’ve had three-and-a-half husbands,” she announces. “And they laugh and laugh,” she adds, “and I’m always remembered.” She neglects explaining the “half.” As for her age, she leaves it at “in my 60s.” Qadirah never had any children of her own, but she remains in touch with stepchildren in New York. Prior to some festivals in years past, musicians have held blues and jazz workshops for young people at Rowan Public Library. Involvement with youth is something Qadirah always has emphasized. Readers of Rowan Magazine voted her event “Best Festival” in its Best of Rowan Contest. The festival also receives regular mentions in the Blues Festival Guide, which tracks blues festivals all over the world. “Salisbury should appreciate it, because people outside of Salisbury really think we have it going on,” Qadirah says. Qadirah says her secret to running the Blues and Jazz Festival as a volunteer all these years has been a positive attitude, focus and “praying all the time.” But she worries about the future and not having the people in line and trained to take over if she quits or something happens to her. “Nobody believes I’m going to stop,” Qadirah says.

MOTORCYCLE DEATHS IN N.C.
Riders lucky ... this time JFK’s tolerance moment
motorcycle rider and passenger who escaped serious injury in a Sunday night mishap in west Rowan were lucky to avoid becoming part of a sad statistical trend. Although highway deaths have steadily decreased in North Carolina and across the nation in recent years, that’s not the case for fatalities involving motorcycles. State officials say that motorcycle deaths are up 20 percent this year thus far. With 78 deaths recorded through last week, including two Rowan riders, the toll is now only four short of the 82 deaths that resulted from motorcycle crashes in 2009. That’s in stark contrast to what’s happening in overall highway deaths. Like a majority of states, North Carolina saw a significant decrease last year as traffic fatalities continued a downward trend. For 2009, North Carolina recorded 1,314 road fatalities, an 8 percent drop from 2008. That’s slightly less than the 9.7 percent decline recorded nationally, with 33,808 deaths in 2009, the lowest number since 1950. Safety experts point to several factors behind that decline. Cars and trucks are getting safer, with technological advances helping drivers avoid crashes and offering better protection when collisions do occur. In addition, although the number of miles traveled crept up in 2009, campaigns against drinking and driving appear to be paying off. Unfortunately, those same factors don’t apply to motorcycle riders, who have far less protection and hence are more prone to serious or fatal injuries in collisions. Too often, drivers of larger vehicles overlook motorcycles, especially when entering a roadway, navigating an intersection or making a turn. David Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas, also says that lack of experience on two wheels can be deadly. North Carolina licenses motorcycle operators without requiring them to take an approved training course or pass a motorcycle road test. Even if it isn’t required, beginning riders should sign up for a basic motorcycle course such as the one offered this fall through Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. (For details or registration information, call RCCC at 704-2163512 or e-mail angie.corriher@rccc.edu.) Motorcycle and moped riders need to have adequate training and know how to operate their machines safely before venturing onto the open road. Other drivers need to be vigilant as they share the road with two-wheelers, whether it’s being aware of approaching motorcycles or giving bicyclists room for an extra margin of safety. If everyone followed those guidelines, North Carolina’s motorcycle fatality rates would come down.

50-year-old speech has relevance for today ASHINGTON — Fifty years ago this past Sunday, John Kennedy gave one of the best political speeches I ever heard, a plea for religious tolerance that has strange pertinence today when a little-known minister threatened to burn the Quran to strike a blow against Muslims. The notion of using the anniversary of Sept. 11 to condemn the religion of those DAVID who attacked BRODER the World Trade Center was criticized by President Obama and by leaders of every other faith. That it found a home anywhere in this land suggests the persistence of the prejudice that was the subject of Kennedy’s talk — an evening that remains as vivid in my memory as any from the first presidential campaign I covered. Kennedy had been working his way around the battleground states outside the East, starting on Labor Day in Michigan and then down the West Coast from Seattle and Portland through the Central Valley of California to Los Angeles, then east to Phoenix and into Texas. The reception had been satisfactory but the reports reaching the campaign were disquieting. Back east, Norman Vincent Peale, the Protestant minister and best-selling author whose following rivaled Billy Graham’s, had formed an alliance of other church leaders who were rais-
W
ing hostile questions of the young Roman Catholic candidate. Across the South, and in many other rural areas, Protestants weren’t waiting for answers before signaling that Kennedy was unacceptable as an occupant of the White House. There was nothing covert about the campaign. The National Conference of Citizens for Religious Freedom, Peale’s group, addressed an open letter to the candidate: “Is it reasonable to assume that a Roman Catholic president would be able to withstand altogether the determined efforts of the hierarchy of his church to gain further funds and favors for its schools and institutions and otherwise breach the wall of separation of church and state?” As we traveled, word spread that Kennedy had decided to take the issue headon, rather than let it fester and doom him to follow Al Smith, the first Catholic nominated for president, to defeat. So Kennedy had accepted an invitation to appear before the Greater Houston Ministerial Association for a televised speech and question-and-answer session on Sept. 12. Ted Sorensen, Kennedy’s speechwriter, started working on the formal remarks and, as he told Theodore White, the campaign chronicler, did so with the belief that the hour ahead could determine the election. The ministers, in their Sunday best, were seated in the ballroom of the Rice Hotel when Kennedy arrived. He made a point of walking up through the assembly by himself — one man facing whatev-
er was about to come. In words that have often been quoted as defining the American tradition of religious liberty, Kennedy uttered two crisp paragraphs, beginning, “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute,” and concluding “where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.” Then came the rhetoric, including the reminder that “side by side with Bowie and Crockett died Fuentes, and McCafferty, and Bailey, and Badillo, and Carey, but no one knows whether they were Catholics or not. For there was no religious test” at the Alamo. In the question period, Kennedy sported a look of bemused puzzlement as the ministers quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia, his body language conveying that this trip was outside his normal world. But he never lost his cool, and he assured them he found none of the questioning “unfair or unreasonable.” He left to applause. At the end, Peter Lisagor of The Chicago Daily News turned to a knot of other reporters and said, “If the editors of this country were smart, they’d pull every reporter covering Kennedy tonight off him for the rest of the campaign. You can’t have watched this and still say you’re neutral.” I thought he was right. • • • David Broder’s e-mail address is davidbroder@ washpost.com.

Basic differences Here’s a basic difference I see between Democrats and conservatives. Democrats support medical care for all. Conservatives like those in the Tea
Party apparently hate middleincome and low-income people and are trying to destroy them. Here another difference: Democrats know that the president is a native-born (Hawaii) American citizen and a Christian. He supports the rights of all Americans, including their religious freedom. While House GOP Leader John Boehner was playing golf and working on his tan, the Democrats saved the economy from plunging into another full-blown depression. The Republicans and the Tea Partiers support deregulating Wall Street, while Democrats want to help America’s working people — the best in the world. — Cody Yasinsac Kannapolis
ALEIGH — The Environmental Protection Agency comes to Charlotte this week as officials with the federal agency wrestle with to do about power companies and their coal ash ponds. A couple of years ago, the ponds were mostly out of sight and out of mind. Then a pond at a SCOTT Tennessee MOONEYHAM Valley Authority plant had its dam burst, flooding a nearby neighborhood with toxic sludge. Forty homes were damaged or destroyed. Responding to the disaster, North Carolina legislators and Gov. Beverly Perdue decided in 2009 that it would be a good idea to actually start inspecting the dams. This year, state officials ordered Duke Energy and Progress Energy to test groundwater around the ponds. The EPA, meanwhile, began its own inspecting and classifying, deciding which dams posed risks to neighbors. The EPA also decided to consider additional regulation. A hearing in Charlotte is behind held today to allow for public input on two sets of proposals. One would classify the coal ash as hazardous and require power companies to phase out the ponds over the next five years. The other would require more monitoring and restrictions intended to keep arsenic, lead and other heavy metals found in the ash from getting into drinking water, but would classify the material as non-hazardous. For North Carolina, the potential for problems is real. An EPA review rated 49 coal ash ponds around the country as high hazard sites; 12 are in North Carolina (including ash ponds at the Buck Steam Station in Rowan County). In total, Duke Energy and Progress Energy have 14 of the storage ponds adjacent to coalfired plants. Two ponds operated by Progress Energy — one in Asheville and one in Chatham County on the banks of the Cape Fear River — were given the worst safety ratings handed out by the agency. Environmental groups say the tougher regulations aren’t only needed to prevent a disaster like that in eastern Tennessee. They want tougher rules to protect drinking water supplies. They also say the weaker proposal will allow too much self-regulation by the power companies. EPA estimates it would cost utility companies across the country nearly $1.5 billion a year if ash is regulated as hazardous waste, and $587 million if not. Power company officials say the additional costs will be paid by consumers.. They argue that the hazardous designation would mean that more of the dry ash generated by the plants ends up in landfills instead of being used in building material like concrete. In fact, the power companies recognize that they have a problem, that they can’t continue to operate coal-fired plants using the same methods of coal ash storage that have been in place for decades. Coal ash storage is one of the reasons that companies like Progress Energy are phasing out older coalfired power plants in favor of natural gas turbine plants. North Carolinians, though, need to know that, even as plants are mothballed, the coal ash pits won’t turn into ticking time bombs. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state issues for Capitol Press Association.
WATER FROM 1a waters, the decision not to pursue the agreement with Concord and Albemarle at present isn’t a permanent or even a long-term one, City Manager Mike Legg said. Following the meeting, Legg said the process would probably start moving again once Concord and Albemarle representatives have a chance to see the changes Kannapolis would like to make to the agreement. These are wording changes that would help preserve Kannapolis’ position and ability to opt out in the unlikely event that Alcoa, or whichever entity controlled the Yadkin, prevented Albemarle from selling water to the city. The planned waterline would run some 88,000 linear feet, connecting Albemarle’s water system to Concord’s. City of Concord and Kannapolis would jointly own all the property and infrastructure purchased in Cabarrus County. Construction is projected to cost around $19.8 million, with an additional $1 million for engineering and planning. Kannapolis would be responsible for about $500,000 of those costs. Legg said a grant awarded to Concord could help defray some of the costs of actual construction. And, he said, an earmark currently working its way through Congress might provide another $900,000 to $1 million, though that money might come with limitations. Mayor Bob Misenheimer questioned whether it would be best to go ahead with the process regardless of questions. “Is this not the time to get a favorable bid and save ourselves a ton of money?” Misenheimer asked. But council member Darrell Hinnant said caution was advisable, after what he called “a very intriguing conversation” between N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell and other legislators about possible outcomes from the Alcoa license fight. “I would say to you, I would agree with you wholeheartedly that now is an appropriate time,” Hinnant said. “The question is will we have any water to put in that pipe when we’re finished? There are several really, really important questions we
concerns,” Legg said. Floats and even bands were asked to deck themselves out with Christmas lights, which he said were expensive. Also, he said, visibility downtown was poor. So, last year, the parade was held on Saturday afternoon. The result, he said, was “too much traffic, too many other issues for the few downtown merchants who remain.” An informal survey of local businesses found opposition to having another parade on Saturday afternoon, Legg said. Also, he said, “A lot of the groups, including bands, are not enamored of a nighttime parade.” “The city is in a better position to organize a single-day
festival type event.” None of the other solutions, such as having the parade elsewhere, or moving it to the weekend before Thanksgiving, were popular. “The thought of no parade is painful at first,” Legg said. “But we’ve been through change before, and we can do this as well.” Councilman Roger Haas said a downtown Christmas parade doesn’t make sense in today’s world. “If you look back at the intentions of what a parade was always used for ... 99 percent of times it was the downtown merchants,” Haas said. But now, he said, most of the shops have gone. Hass said Kannapolis ought to do something new and different, as it had done
need to ask,” he said. The process by which the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission awards these licenses is complex. It’s likely that any decision could spend months or years being decided in the courts, Legg said. Ideally, Legg said, Alcoa itself would come to the table and at least acknowledge the agreement, if not pledge to support it. “That could be hard to pull off,” Legg said. And there’s a question of whether the company would want to get involved at all. On the other hand, if the license is awarded to the state, “a lot of other dominoes would fall,” Legg said. He noted that the political process had caused problems for Kannapolis’ other interbasin transfer proposal. The plan to pump millions of gallons from the Catawba River led to lawsuits and significant opposition in the state legislature. If all else fails, one of the added provisions would allow any of the cities to terminate the agreement after one year’s notice. “As ominous as that might sound to Albemarle, I would think that’s fairly standard,” Legg said. “I think they feel highly confident about their relationship to Alcoa.”
agreement giving both governments 50 percent had never changed. Another issue is the length of the new lease. The original lease is up at the end of this month. Rowan commissioners want a new lease with a 5-year term and the option for a 5year extension. Legg said he’d like to see a 10-year lease with an option to renew for 5 more years. Council member Roger Haas wasn’t happy. “I kind of have a problem with the 75-percent stakeholder … saying they’re not going to participate,” Haas said. He also said he didn’t understand the county’s insistence on a shorter lease. “They’re not investing anything, anyway,” Haas said. Without a longer-term commitment, Legg said, Smith Family Baseball and local governments might be less eager to invest in the $6 million-plus facility. And, he said, investments are needed. “The stadium is deteriorating,” Legg said. “I don’t think that’s too strong a word. It’s showing its age.” Intimidators vice president Tim Mueller addressed the council, describing the need for renovations to the clubhouse, field lighting and facilities to meet current minor league regulations. He said the team wanted to continue to be a part of the community, perhaps partnering with Kannapolis Parks and Recreation to hold events there. “They are a significant corporate citizen in our community, no doubt about it,” Legg said of the Intimidators. But the big question is whether the team can turn a profit. Legg said that while the city doesn’t have access to the Intimidators’ books, the league and the team have made dramatic improvements. “There’s no question that it is getting better,” he said. In exchange, the team would pay a $25,000 rental fee that would increase yearly to match inflation. The team would be permitted to use the stadium yearround, and could keep all of the revenues generated there through parking fees, sponsorships and so on. Even so, Legg said, the team should pay for all of the operating expenses. “Right now, there’s a whole complicated mix of who pays
Stadium lease Also at Monday’s meeting, council members took up another hot-button issue: Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium. The home of the Kannapolis Intimidators minor league baseball team has been the subject of years of debate between Rowan County and the city. Rowan County commissioners voted last week to move forward with a set of proposed terms for a new lease between team owner Smith Family Baseball and local governments. But Kannapolis officials balked at some of the requested provisions, especially a statement City Attorney Wally Safrit said the original agreement, still in force, stated that Rowan and Kannapolis have an even ownership stake. “But, as time wore on, much more investment was required,” Safrit said. “Rowan stepped up to the plate, pardon the pun, and that’s how they derived, in their opinion, the additional ownership.” But, Safrit said the actual

or six times, he went to his bedroom, loaded his 9 mm pistol, and brought it back into the kitchen. Authorities said Binges told Guillory, “I’ve got a gun, and it’s time to leave,” and then the two began wrestling on the floor, and shots went off. Guillory was shot in the fatty tissue beneath his left arm, and Binges called 911. When responders arrived, Binges was on the front porch, and Guillory on the side porch. Guillory was transported to Northeast Medical Center, treated and released Sunday. Authorities said Guillory was in good spirits, and decided to not press charges.

for what on some of those things,” Legg said. The city would commit $50,000 annually to capital improvements at the stadium. But, Legg said, those contributions would need to end at some point. Also, he said, the county shouldn’t be able to “walk away from major problems” at the stadium. Ultimately, Legg told council members, a lack of support from Kannapolis and Rowan “would likely cause the team to make some tough decisions.” “Seems to me we’ve got a basic question, and that is, how important do we feel the baseball community is to our area?” Mayor Pro Tem Gene McCombs said. “I think we’ve reached that point.” Legg said staff will be in touch with team and county leaders in the days ahead to continue negotiations.

task nor a decision made lightly,” Misenheimer’s letter read in part. “This new event will include the opportunity for community organizations to build holiday displays for cash prizes in the same categories as float awards for the parade — civic, church and school.” Usual parade participants, such as bands, dance groups and choirs, will be invited to participate throughout the day. For years, Kannapolis held its Christmas parade on Tuesday afternoons. It was sponsored by Cannon Mills and local merchants downtown. But, City Manager Mike Legg said, the parade doesn’t work as well in a different era of Kannapolis. The switch from Tuesdays to a nighttime parade through Cannon Village drew large crowds in recent years. “I think everybody agrees that it was a visually subtractive parade, but there were
with summer concerts and attractions at the parks. “I think it’ll be something that’ll be unique,” Haas said. But not everyone agreed. Two downtown merchants — Ron Reynolds of Southern Charm and Melanie Keziah of Virginia’s ladies fashions — shared their concerns when Mayor Pro Tem Gene McCombs asked for comments. “We just don’t want it said or thought that we didn’t want a parade at all,” Keziah said. “I still think the merchants would prefer the Saturday night parade,” Reynolds said. Misenheimer responded by saying that concerns had been raised about onlookers’ safety, especially with children watching from the roadsides. “Before you know it, you could have a tragedy,” Misenheimer said. Outside after the meeting, Reynolds said those fears were overblown. “You have thousands of people crossing Loop Road for concerts at Village Park and nobody gets hurt,” he said.

Obama’s plan to raise taxes on wealthiest Americans faces barricade WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama claims it’s still a “wrestling match,� but with Senate Republicans in uniform opposition, his plan to raise taxes on wealthier people while preserving cuts for everyone else appears increasingly likely to founder before Election Day. Both Republicans and Democrats are already using the looming expiration of Bush-era tax cuts as a defining battle in elections to determine control of Congress that are just seven weeks away. Gridlock appears to be an increasingly likely result in the Senate. Republicans said they had the votes to block legislation to extend the middleclass tax relief if Democrats follow through on their plan to deny tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. The issue is more likely to be decided in a postelection session. Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the GOP whip, said Monday that his party was united in opposing Obama’s proposed tax hike on the wealthy. “Just before the recess we had a meeting and we discussed this, and every Republican was absolutely supportive of the idea that there shouldn’t be any increases in taxes,� Kyl said.
Plane with 51 aboard crashes in Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A plane carrying 51 people crashed Monday in eastern Venezuela, and officials said 33 survived while at least 14 were killed. The French-built ATR 42 from the state airline Conviasa slammed into a lot used by the state-run Sidor steel foundry, leaving its smashed and partly scorched fuselage among barrels and shipping containers. At least 14 people were killed and four others were missing after the crash about six miles (10 kilometers) from the eastern city of Puerto Ordaz, Bolivar state Gov. Francisco Rangel Gomez told reporters. Steel plant worker Oscar Crespo said he heard the thunderous noise of the impact and found the plane in flames. “I was one of the first who got there to help,� Crespo told state television. “We brought some of the injured into an office to treat them. While I was taking people out, Sidor’s firefighters arrived to help us.� While he was helping some of the survivors from the wreckage in thick

With strip club nearby, imam says NYC mosque site not hallowed
Obama sees areas of agreement with tea party
NEW YORK (AP) — It is two blocks from ground zero, but the site of a proposed mosque and Islamic center shouldn’t be seen as “hallowed ground� in a neighborhood that also contains a strip club and a betting parlor, the cleric leading the effort said Monday. Making an ardent case for the compatibility of Islam and American values, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf reiterated that he is searching for a solution to the furor the project has created. But he left unanswered exactly what he had in mind. If anything, Rauf only deepened the questions around the project’s future, telling an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank that he was “exploring all options� — but declining to specify them — while also arguing that a high-profile site is necessary to get across his message of moderate Islam. While opponents of the project see it as insulting the memories of the thousands killed by Muslim extremists in the 2001 terrorist attacks, Rauf said he doesn’t see the spot as sacred memorial space. “It’s absolutely disingenuous, as many have said, that that block is hallowed ground,� Rauf said, noting the nearby exotic dance and betting businesses. “So let’s clarify that misperception.�
New White House stat on health savings called ‘apples to oranges’ WASHINGTON (AP) — When a government report found that President Barack Obama’s health overhaul would modestly raise the nation’s total health care tab, the White House responded with a statistic suggesting costs would go down. It turns out that may be fuzzy math. Health reform director Nancy-Ann DeParle wrote on the White House blog last week that the same govern-
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Ahead of midterm elections likely to produce big Republican gains, President Barack Obama said Monday that conservative activists are right to be worried about the deficit and he foresees compromising with the GOP on that issue and others. Responding to a question at a backyard town hall with middleclass Virginians, Obama extended an unusual olive Pres. Barack Obama branch to tea party activists even as he implicitly acknowledged he’ll be confronting empowered congressional Republicans after November’s elections. Whether the GOP retakes the House or just makes big gains there and in the Senate, Obama’s comments indicated the president has been thinking about how to move forward without the large Democratic majorities he’s enjoyed since taking office. “Where I think we have a great opportunity to work together is on the issue of our long-term debt,� Obama told a resident who asked how he planned to work with a Congress heavier on Republicans. “I have to say I understand a lot of people who are upset on the other side, and some of them were rallying in D.C.,� Obama said, referring to a rally Sunday by the FreedomWorks group that attracted tea party adherents. “I do understand people’s legitimate fears about are we hurting our future because we’re borrowing so much to finance debt and deficits. I understand that. ... So I think there’s an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to come together and to say, ‘What are the tough decisions we’ve got to make right now?’ �
tify components in food that can change human health. They were joined by Dr. Michael Grusak, who will direct a blueberry project in Kannapolis for the USDA’s Agricultural Research Services, and U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell (D-Cabarrus), who helped secure a $1 million earmark for the USDA. Grusak told the Post last week that the federal presence in Kannapolis does not amount to a prestigious USDA Human Nutrition Research Center. Still, the federal presence in Kannapolis could help investigators land more federal grants and make the campus more appealing to investors. The USDA will employ three researchers in Kannapolis. Momentum is growing at the campus, where N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue on Thursday will dedicate Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s new biotechnology training facility and several universities and companies are hiring. Scientists from the big three private partners said their companies were attracted to Kannapolis because they can work side by side with researchers from eight universities. “This is a different way to do science,� said Dr. Steven Leath, vice president of research for the University of North Carolina General Administration. The companies and universities need each other, Leath said, in a carefully structured continuum that could become a model for the nation. Monsanto already has three projects under way in Kannapolis with data flowing to the company to develop new products, said site leader Dr. Susan MacIsaac. She declined to give details. Monsanto joined the campus in pursuit of developing healthier, better tasting vegetables, attracted by state-ofthe-art analytical equipment and the opportunity for interaction with academic researchers. How exactly to interact is “a developing story� for Mon-
santo, a private company with intellectual property to protect, MacIsaac said. General Mills joined the Research Campus this year as part of a new strategy to collaborate with “brains and technology� outside the company, said Dr. Lane Johnson, director of agricultural research. The Research Campus is like “one-stop shopping� for a company that wants to improve the nutritional value of products, he said. “That is really what it felt like for us,� said Johnson, who first visited three years ago. The campus features industry, universities and technology all housed together, he said. Initially, General Mills will have one part-time researcher in Kannapolis and rely on equipment at the David H. Murdock Research Institute to support a study of the genetic make-up of oats, Johnson said. Dole Food’s new lab in Kannapolis has started analyzing every fruit and vegetable sold by Dole, director Dr. Nick Gillitt said. The lab’s charge is to produce science to support the company’s education efforts to increase consumption of fresh produce, he said. Early research on bananas shows that peels are as high in antioxidants as blueberries, and organic banana peels have 20 percent more antioxidants than the peels of bananas grown conventionally, Gillitt said. While no one is going to eat a banana peel, Dole could develop products that include peel extracts, he said. Gillitt said he’s hired another full-time researcher and is searching for an analytical chemist. Dole will add a fourth position later this year. “We need more people,� he said. Dr. Mary Ann Lila, recently named the first David H. Murdock Distinguished Professor, said she’s hiring four additional faculty for N.C. State University. Lila’s work with blueberries, which she described as the “most powerful fruit on earth in terms of human health,� helped attract the USDA to Kannapolis.

Moore to start if he’s healthy
Ravens edge Jets BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press
RUTHERFORD, N.J. — T h e Ravens 10 B a l t i more Jets 9 Ravens starred in this version of “Hard Knocks,” punishing the New York Jets with plenty of them. The Jets intrigued audiences in the preseason with their no-holds-barred, behindthe-scenes TV show, but it was the Ravens who grabbed the spotlight Monday with a 10-9 victory. They held New York to 176 yards, six first downs, allowed Mark Sanchez just 74 yards passing and kept Rex Ryan’s crew out of the end zone. “Any time you challenge a warrior, a warrior is always EAST

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers coach John Fox has no plans to turn to rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen just yet. Three end zone interceptions and a lost fumble won’t be enough for Matt Moore to lose his starting job — as long as he’s recovered from a concussion in time for Sunday’s home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fox said Moore was “feeling way better” on Monday, a day after he was knocked out of the game and sent to the hospital for evaluation following a hard, blind-side hit by Osi Umenyiora in the final minutes of the New York Giants’ 31-18 win. But Fox said he may have suffered the concussion on the previous drive, when he lost a fumble after a hard hit by Mathias Kiwanuka, one of four times Moore was sacked.

going to respond,” Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said. For those urging the Jets to put up or shut up, well, it was Baltimore that produced most of the highlights in a sloppy opener of New York’s new home. The Ravens rocked Ryan’s defense with enough big plays to silence the crowd of 78,127. “They beat us in every statistical category there is except turnovers,” Ryan said. And not even a 3-1 edge in that category helped the Jets. “It became personal when the schedule came out,” Lewis added. “We knew the tradition and the respect that Rex wanted to bring to the Jets. The bottom line is: Let’s just play football. I tip my hat to my team.”

RALEIGH — N.C. State isn’t only taking care of the ball. The Wolfpack is taking it away, too. The ACC leaders in turnover margin have recovered three fumbles, intercepted three passes and gone without turning the ball over. Through two games, they’re almost halfway to the 14 takeaways last year’s group had in all of 2009. That’s a big reason why the Wolfpack (2-0) is unbeaten heading into Thursday’s game against Cincinnati (1-1) and is off to its best start since 2002. N.C. State forced five turnovers, recovering a key fumble deep inside Wolfpack terCOLE ritory with less than a minute left, to preserve last week’s 28-21 victory at Central Florida. C.J. Wilson took one interception back 43 yards for a touchdown, and breakout linebacker Audie Cole also picked off a pass as part of his 12-tackle performance. “I think we had to find out exactly who and what we were on defense,” coach Tom O’Brien said Monday. “Certainly, winning the football game on defense, the way that it was won, was a great confidence-builder for the defense. That’s one thing that they needed on defense, to play with some confidence, especially the young kids.” That improvement on defense — and, of course, a schedule with games against Western Carolina and Central Florida — is a big reason why the Wolfpack is off to a strong start. N.C. State leads the ACC in total defense, allowing an average of 248 1⁄2 yards. Only Boston College (eight) has more takeaways than the Wolfpack’s six. That’s led to a minor role reversal for N.C. State, which at times last year relied on dual-threat quarterback Russell Wilson and his set of bigplay receivers to outscore and outgain teams. Wilson was just 10 for 30 for 105 yards while the offense gained just 65 of its 239 total yards in the second half against UCF. “Everything clicked, and everybody did their job and got it done,” defensive end Jeff Rieskamp said. “The defense this week played really good. That’s not to say the offense isn’t going to have to pick us up at some point during the year.” But it does make for welcome news for a defensive unit that last year was beleaguered by injuries and inexperience.

South’s Tyler excels in Cary Talented catcher back with football team after USA series BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Eric Tyler was ecstatic to report for duty as a full-time member of South Rowan’s football team Monday, but he understands that baseball is his future. Tyler, an exciting catching prospect, excelled at the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series held in Cary over the weekend. He helped the Mid-Atlantic all-stars — an 18-man squad made up of players se-
lected from the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama — go 2-1 in the event. The tournament brought 648 of the nation’s best prospects to Cary. They competed on regional all-star TYLER teams in 13-under, 15-under and 17-under age divisions. Tyler, a sophomore who turned 15 in May, competed in the 15-under group
with the goal of making the 16-under national team in 2011. Tyler’s first assignment after arriving at the USA Baseball National Training Complex was to catch Justin Camp, one of the nation’s elite pitching prospects and a member of the Mid-Atlantic 17-under team. Camp, an Alabama native who has committed to Auburn, throws in the mid-90s. “That was kind of a waking up experience,” Tyler said. “That was the very first thing I did, and he was winging it.”
Tyler has a potent bat, but it’s his defensive skills that set him apart from most catchers. He recorded an exceptional “pop time” of 1.91 seconds. That’s how long it takes the ball to get from his mitt to the glove of an infielder taking the throw at second base on a steal attempt. Tyler also showed he can make that throw in game situations, not just drills.

Wake Forest suspends Woods Associated Press
WINSTON-SALEM — Wake Forest has suspended junior center Tony Woods indefinitely following a recent arrest. Coach Jeff Bzdelik said Monday that Woods was suspended “in order to allow him to devote his time and effort to address the allegations that he is facing.” Woods was arrested last week and faces misdemeanor charges of assault inflicting serious injury, assault on a female and assault inflicting injury in the presence of a child. According to a report filed by Winston-Salem police, Woods is accused of kicking and pushing down the mother of his 1-year-old son, causing her to fracture her spine. Woods faces a Sept. 30 court date. WACO, Texas — Dismissed UCLA player J’mison Morgan has been granted an NCAA waiver that allows him to play at Baylor immediately without sitting out a season. Morgan was dismissed from UCLA’s team in March after being suspended a game for missing a team meeting and was held out of the Bruins’ two Pac-10 tournament games. He also missed seven games recovering from a partially torn quadriceps. Morgan transferred to Baylor

NBA PHILADELPHIA — Unwanted by the NBA, Allen Iverson is considering playing in China.

Moore said there is “legitimate interest” between Iverson and a team in China to work out a deal. CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls have hired former Villanova star Ed Pinckney as an assistant coach.
NHL NEWARK, N.J. — The NHL has harshly penalized New Jersey for signing Ilya Kovalchuk to a contract that circumvented the league’s salary cap. Commissioner Gary Bettman has fined the Devils $3 million and taken away two draft picks, including a first rounder of the Devils’ choice sometime in the next four years. VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo has relinquished the team captaincy after two years in the role. In 2008, Luongo became the
first NHL goaltender in 60 years to be selected captain, but league rules prohibited him from wearing the “C” on his jersey or acting as captain on the ice by talking to referees during games. Instead Luongo painted a “C” on the chin of his mask, and the Canucks designated three alternate captains — instead of the usual setup of two alternates and a captain — to take ceremonial faceoffs before game and talk to officials during them.
GOLF LEMONT, Ill. — Leave it to the PGA Tour to find the upside of Tiger Woods missing out on the Tour Championship. In a press release Monday promoting the 30-man field at East Lake, it notes that Woods’ failure to qualify for the last playoff event guarantees there will be a new FedEx Cup champion this year. “I didn’t play well in the beginning of the year and I didn’t play well in the middle of the year,” Woods said.

Jimmie Johnson, the No. 2 seed behind denny Hamlin in this year’s chase, is going for his fifth consecutive sprint cup championship.
Johnson somewhat overlooked as Chase begins BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — This is the time of season when Jimmie Johnson thrives and his Hendrick Motorsports team smooths out any chinks in its seemingly indestructible armor. And with five wins this season and the second seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, it’s not as though there have been too many bumps in the road. Then why is the four-time defending champion an afterthought as NASCAR prepares for Sunday’s Chase opener at New Hampshire? Any talk that should be centered on Johnson’s bid for a fifth consecutive title seems to be secondary to the speculation as to who will be the driver to finally end his reign. Even his fellow competitors are wondering if this is the year Johnson will be beaten. “Superman has not lost his cape, but it’s shorter than it was in years past,” said Clint Bowyer, who earned his Chase berth Saturday night at Richmond. “Hopefully we’ll all be able to give him a run for his money this year.” The overruling thought has always been that the championship is Johnson’s to lose, and he’s done very little to give any indication that he won’t make a realistic run at becoming the only active driver with five titles. He’s crossed
winning at Bristol and winning on a road-course off his to-do list this season, and despite an uncharacteristic four DNFs this year — two of them came in a three-race span — he still knocked down 14 top-10 finishes through 26 races. He went bumper-to-bumper with Kevin Harvick, who built an impressive points lead during the “regular season,” and was tied with Denny Hamlin for the top seed in the Chase until Hamlin surged ahead with his series-best sixth win of the year Saturday night at Richmond. What did Johnson do? He grabbed his second straight third-place finish to roll into New Hampshire running very well. Yet he still can’t shake the perception that he’s vulnerable this season. “People can draw conclusions however they want, and I’ve never been one to play into any of that stuff,” Johnson said. He learned that lesson in 2005, when he battled Tony Stewart for the championship. He was mathematically in contention to win in the season finale at Homestead, but a blown tire knocked him out of the race, ending his title hopes with a thud after a tense 10 weeks that nearly destroyed his working relationship with crew chief Chad Knaus. In the years since, Johnson has focused only on his program and doing what he needs to do on the
track. By letting it play out that way, Johnson has collected the last four titles. “If guys think we are vulnerable, it’s my job to show up at Loudon, qualify on the pole and win the race,” he said. “I’m not concerned about what people think of my race team and where I’m at and what kind of threat we are for the championship. I’m just more concerned about going out and getting the damn job done. “With two good runs going into the Chase, my guys are ready, I’m ready. We have got our mojo back.” That confidence should send shivers through the garage, but it so far has not. Instead, the challengers are headed into the Chase with their own game plans, and knocking off Johnson is the top priority. For the first time in a long time, there’s a slew of drivers that could potentially dethrone him. First up is Hamlin, who notoriously wrecked while leading at California last season when he saw Johnson in his rearview mirror. He’s made strides since then to toughen up, and if reliability doesn’t become an issue, Hamlin has shown he can compete with Johnson. Harvick has given Johnson pause this season, as well. With all of Richard Childress Racing running much improved, Harvick grabbed three wins and showed the consistency and confidence
needed to take command of the points standings. The re-seed following Richmond dropped him to third in the standings, 30 points behind Hamlin and 20 behind Johnson, but he likes his chances and has adopted Johnson’s attitude of a singular focus on only his race team. “The guy that’s been on the top of my mind this year is (Harvick), doesn’t matter the track, they have been quick,” Johnson said. “Harvick has been the surprise this year, and maybe I took for granted how well Denny ran last year and (assumed) he would just be there. “That’s been the reality to me, that he’s going to be one of the guys to race for it.” Johnson should be challenged from within Hendrick Motorsports by teammate Jeff Gordon, who dropped 60 points behind Hamlin at the re-seed. So did Carl Edwards, who has gotten very hot of late and famously won three of the final four races in 2008 to give Johnson a run for his money. “It’s been awfully tough to win four in a row, but we’ll show up and give 100 percent and at the end of the 10 races, if we give 100 percent and get beat, then we’ll go home and be proud of what we did,” Johnson said. “But if we squandered it away and do something stupid and say, ‘We just didn’t give it our all,’ we’ll be disappointed. We just want to do our best.”
He threw out all the runners who tried to steal against him in the tournament and nailed another who was overly aggressive rounding third base. Tyler’s coach in Cary was Todd Jones, the former closer who logged 319 MLB saves, and Tyler had a chance to be seen by dozens of college coaches. “The stands were just full of coaches and scouts,” Tyler said. “It was an unbelievable experience. I don’t think I saw a fastball all weekend under 87.” The Mid-Atlantic stars played three regulation games on Saturday and Sunday. Tyler decided the finale against the North Atlantic team with a clutch, two-run homer that wiped out a 4-3 deficit and provided a 5-4 victory. South coach Thad Chrismon was on hand to see Tyler’s blow to left field. “Coach Chrismon reminded me to go up there and be aggressive,” Tyler said. “I’d gotten a couple of hits, but most of the weekend I’d been hitting balls hard right at people. But that last at-bat, I got a fastball up and it went out. I got lucky.” Luck didn’t have nearly as much to do with it as talent, preparation and work ethic. Tyler (5-foot-9, 175 pounds) has played a lot of highly competitive baseball with the Charlotte Megastars travel team, and he was nothing short of awesome after he was called up to South’s varsity as a freshman last spring and installed as the No. 3 hitter. He batted .324 with 25 runs and 21 RBIs in 74 at-bats. Tyler is also a versatile football player, but South coach Jason Rollins has worked with Tyler’s family and Chrismon on that end. Tyler was limited to holding for PATs and field goals prior to the Cary tournament. With a chance to play in an event of that magnitude in front of so many baseball coaches and scouts, no one wanted to risk Tyler being injured on the football field. “Eric is a great kid, and we’d never want to hinder anyone in his situation,” Rollins said. “I know Eric’s been itching to play football, and we’ve been itching to have him play football for us, but you don’t take a chance when a kid has an opportunity like that.” So Tyler has basically sat on the sidelines for four football games. He won’t be a cure-all for an 0-4 team, but he’ll provide a boost. He’s expected to work his way onto the field at safety and wide receiver, and his powerful arm provides insurance at quarterback. He was taking reps there Monday behind Mark McDaniel and Nathan Lambert. “It’s been very hard watching my teammates out there grinding and not being able to help,” Tyler said. Not that he regrets his latest baseball adventure. He’s always had a dream, and now he knows it’s not just a dream. Now he knows he can compete with the best in the nation in his age group. USA Baseball actually has an Internet selection show, and Tyler will find out Wednesday night if he’s one of the players chosen from the Cary tournament to move on to the next step in the national-team selection process — the Team USA trials. “There’s so much talent and so many players, I really don’t know what Eric’s chances are,” Chrismon said. “But he had a great stage to play on in Cary, and he had a really great showing.”

North Carolina’s Draughn cleared to return BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

shaun draughn rushed for 567 yards last season.
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina is getting one key player back for this weekend’s home opener against Georgia Tech. The school announced Monday that tailback Shaun Draughn will play against the Yellow Jackets after sitting out against LSU due to an ongoing NCAA investigation. Draughn is the first of 13 players who missed the LSU game to be cleared by the NCAA and the school as the review continues into agentrelated benefits and possible academic violations involving a tutor. School spokesman Kevin Best said Draughn won’t talk with the media until after Saturday’s game. Draughn has been practicing while his status was in question, though he’s listed alongside Johnny White and Anthony Elzy on a jumbled depth chart. “We’re going to try to get
him back into the flow of things,” coach Butch Davis said. “There’s been a period of time over the last couple of weeks where because of the question of whether he would be available that some of his roles during practice have been significantly minimized.” Draughn ran for 866 yards and three touchdowns in 2008 as a converted safety, then took the starting job in a timeshare with short-yardage and goal-line specialist Ryan Houston last season. He ran for 567 yards last year before suffering a broken left shoulder blade, sidelining him for the last three games. Houston, who had scored 17 touchdowns in the past two seasons, is one of the 12 players whose status is still in doubt. And considering White fumbled away the first rushing attempt against LSU and the Tar Heels (0-1) finished with 24 yards on the ground, Draughn could provide a big spark — assuming he can get
up to speed in time. “I know Shaun’s going to be running like a mad man out there and he’s been doing it in practice the last couple of days,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “I’m excited to see him just absolutely go crazy this game.” The school has been conferring with the NCAA to determine which players are eligible to return. North Carolina was off last week, though athletic director Dick Baddour has said he is “hopeful” the Tar Heels will hear about more players before the weekend. Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson wasn’t interested in worrying about who the Tar Heels would have in the lineup by the weekend. “I don’t think they’re going to line up any differently just because they don’t have anybody,” Johnson said. “They’ve still got good players.” Davis wouldn’t say how long the Tar Heels would wait to find out on the remaining
Ingram back in mix Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama tailback Mark Ingram practiced Monday, wearing a brace on his left knee. The Heisman Trophy winner appears on track to return against Duke after missing the first two games with a knee injury. The topranked Crimson Tide also is set to get defensive end Marcell Dareus back from a two-game suspension. Ingram worked some last Thursday, but the coaches decided he didn’t log enough practice time to risk playing for the top-ranked Tide against Penn State. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee five days before the opener against San Jose State. UTAH SALT LAKE CITY — Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn’s return to the 14th-ranked Utes is still uncertain because of his sprained right thumb.
Wynn sat out Utah’s 38-10 win over UNLV on Saturday because of the injury to his throwing hand. He landed on the hand early in the season opener against Pittsburgh on Sept. 2 and is still recovering. If Wynn’s thumb still isn’t ready on Saturday for the Utes’ game at New Mexico, Terrance Cain will get the start again. He threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday against the Rebels, completing 13 of 20 passes with no interceptions. ARKANSAS FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas will be without kickoff returner/running back Dennis Johnson when it plays at Georgia on Saturday. HEISMAN NEW YORK — The Heisman Trophy Trust is expected to hold its monthly meeting today, but there has been no indication from the group about whether a decision on Reggie Bush and the 2005 award is coming soon.
Delhomme’s picks damaging BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio — Turns out, the Browns may have more to worry about than Jake Delhomme’s two costly interceptions in their opener. Making his regular-season debut for Cleveland, Delhomme injured his right ankle while throwing a pick late in the first half of a 17-14 loss at Tampa Bay. Coach Eric Mangini said Delhomme will undergo tests on the ankle, which appeared to bother the 35-year-old quarterback during the second half. Browns president Mike Holmgren said Delhomme was “sore” Monday and that doctors intend to work on him in preparation for Sunday’s home opener against Kansas City. Mangini said he never considered bringing in backup Seneca Wallace after Delhomme got hurt. “His ankle got a little twisted up, but he felt good enough to continue on it, and I felt good enough with him continuing on at that point,” Mangini said, offering no other specifics about Delhomme’s injury
MOORE FroM 1B “I think he landed on the back of his head on a fumble play,” Fox said. “But I don’t know that for a fact.” It marked the second straight year of poor quarterback play in Week 1 for the Panthers. And just like last year, when Fox stuck with Jake Delhomme after five turnovers against Philadelphia, Fox provided no hesitation when asked if Moore would start against the Buccaneers if healthy. “Yes,” Fox said, defusing talk the

or when he’ll have the tests. It’s likely Delhomme will undergo an MRI, which will give doctors the most detailed look at his ankle. With the Browns leading 14-3 and driving toward a possible score before halftime, Delhomme tried to sidearm a pass to tight end Benjamin Watson while being tackled. The errant pass was intercepted by Buccaneers defensive back Ronde Barber, who returned it 64 yards to the Cleveland 3. Tampa Bay scored on the next play, trimming the Browns’ lead to 14-10 and giving the Bucs momentum. “That changed a lot of things,” Mangini said. “That was a big swing.” Delhomme, the 14th different quarterback to start a game for the Browns since 1999, accepted responsibility for the first-half interception — a throw he wanted back as soon as he released it. “I’m the one with the ball in my hands and I’ve got to be smarter than that,” he said. “Certainly that was a 10-point swing right there.”
12 players who are uncertain to play, though he said the team is planning to play with “the guys that played against LSU” and that any late additions would be viewed as a bonus. “I think their role would be determined by how early do you find out about their potential availability,” Davis said. “Certainly, the longer the week goes, the less they’re going to have opportunities to impact and participate in the game.” The list of players who sat out the opener included several NFL prospects on defense in end Robert Quinn, cornerback Kendric Burney and safety Deunta Williams. On offense, the Tar Heels were without top receiver Greg Little, among others. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin remains suspended indefinitely for violating team rules and isn’t practicing, though Davis said Austin is “still in the process of earning his way back to practice.”

Pirates prepare for Hokies Associated Press
GREENVILLE — East Carolina has beaten two Conference USA opponents and put up 100 points in doing so. Now comes an even bigger test for the Pirates (2-0): Their first road trip under Ruffin McNeill takes them to face a reeling Virginia Tech team that’s coming off one of the most humiliating losses in school history. McNeill said Monday that he’s trying to keep his unbeaten team levelheaded as it prepares to face the winless Hokies (0-2). He doesn’t want the Pirates to be too timid or too overconfident. Virginia Tech’s national championship aspirations seemingly went up in smoke with losses to No. 3 Boise State and FCS member James Madison in a six-day span. The Pirates opened the McNeill era with consecutive wins over Tulsa and Memphis in which they scored 51 and 49 points, respectively. But they expect Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., to be even more inhospitable with the Hokies having lost consecutive games. “The momentum is there,” McNeill said Monday. “I think the biggest thing is you like to have an even keel if at all possible, where each play you’re competing at the highest level, playing the best you possibly can on that particular play.” McNeill hopes his team has received a dose of confidence from its
back-to-back wins — one of which came on a heave on the final play of the Tulsa game. “Those guys have had a taste of victory,” McNeill said. “The first game was down to the wire and last week we had to fight through some things in the game, some lulls that are going to happen during the year. That helps us grow, and to be able to win the football game and grow at the same time is definitely a positive.” The Pirates have scored 100 points in their opening two games for the first time in school history. Only once before have they scored that many in any two game stretch — in 1979, when McNeill was a player. An inexperienced defense also forced three early turnovers that gave the Pirates control Saturday against Memphis. “They have dangerous receivers, and defensively, they have their secondary back and they have some speed guys at defensive end,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said, “so it will certainly be another challenge for our football team.” A win Saturday would make East Carolina 3-0 for the second time in three years. The Pirates opened with three wins under Skip Holtz in 2008, the year they knocked off nationally ranked Virginia Tech and West Virginia and climbed in the polls. “I think momentum is a positive thing,” McNeill said. “You don’t want that up-and-down deal, like a stock market.”
With linebacker Nate Irving out for all of 2009 following a near-fatal car crash, the Wolfpack ranked in the bottom half of the league, allowing more than 361 total yards per game. The newest face — blitzhappy linebackers coach Jon Tenuta — has had plenty to do with their improvement. “They’re a little different, and I think the hiring of (Tenuta) and the wealth of knowledge that he brings, his background” explains the change, Cincinnati coach Butch Jones said. “They’re going to challenge us, not only schemewise, but from a mentality and a physicality as well.” Tenuta has helped organize and streamline the schemes that defensive coordinator Mike Archer has installed, O’Brien said. “I don’t think the defense is a lot different in regular defense than it was a year ago,” O’Brien said. “It may be tying the defense together, the organization of it. A lot of the things we’re doing, we’ve done before. There’s not a lot of new blitzes that we have done. “Tying things together, and making it a package instead of just calling blitzes, I think that’s part of the package he brought with him.” One of the top challenges this season, O’Brien said, was “to get us off the field on third down” after a 2009 season in which the Wolfpack ranked 10th in the ACC by allowing opponents to convert nearly 43 percent of their third-down chances. It’s working: N.C. State leads the league in that stat, allowing a 24-percent conversion rate. “We’re playing the same type of personnel, but the organization of that is a much better organized structured package than we were a year ago as far as the blitz goes,” O’Brien said. “There’s a rhyme and a reason to why you do things. The kids are understanding why they’re doing things.”
Panthers might quickly turn to Clausen. But Moore will have to pass numerous mandated tests under stricter concussion rules to be allowed back on the field, making it possible Clausen could make his first NFL start in Week 2. The former Notre Dame star, who fell to the Panthers in the second round of the draft, threw two incomplete passes from his own end zone in the final moments of Sunday’s loss after Moore was sidelined. Fox said he’d be confident if Clausen had to play. “That would be my expectation at any position with any backup,” Fox
said. “He’s part of the football team and whether it’s injury or whatever, we expect them to step him and do a good job.” Moore, who finished 4-1 as a starter last season when Delhomme was sidelined with a broken finger, got off to a poor start in his first to open a season. He tossed an ill-advised, floating pass into a sea of Giants players in the end zone on Carolina’s second possession for an interception. His best work came on a twominute drive at the end of the first half, when he completed 4 of 5 passes for 50 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith to
give Carolina a 16-14 halftime lead. But the Panthers’ only points in the second half came on a safety, and Moore threw two more picks in the end zone. He finished 14 of 33 for 182 yards, recording a passer rating of 32.6 while facing constant pressure. “We didn’t execute well enough in the pass game,” Fox. “I thought there were opportunities, but there are a lot of moving parts to the pass game. We had some issues in a lot of different areas, whether it was protection, routes or where we went with the ball. We’ve got to do a better job with that. We’ve got to do a better job coaching and executing it.” It would help if Carolina got its
vaunted running game in gear. The Panthers, who watched Jonathan Stewart rush for 206 yards against the Giants last season, managed just 89 yards on the ground Sunday. They also abandoned the run for much of the second half — throwing three straight times on a first-andgoal from the 4 in the fourth quarter Sunday. The last pass was picked off. “I don’t know if everybody understands, but defenses can dictate that some,” Fox said. “It’s not all just that we want to throw. Sometimes the situation in a game, in a fourth quarter down 15 points, ripping off a 4-yard run is not really conducive to trying to win the game.”
pact the Ravens sought with seven receptions overall for 110 yards, at times toying with the Jets’ vaunted secondary. So did tight end Todd Heap, who caught six passes from a cool Joe Flacco for 72 yards. “I’m excited about our weapons,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We have guys all the way across the board that Joe can go to. Joe knows how to find them.”
The beginning was fiery, as expected, with Ray Rice and Shaun Ellis woofing at each other before kickoff. But it turned into a slopfest, as many of the openers were this weekend, with the Jets looking particularly undisciplined by drawing 14 penalties for 125 yards. They also were 1 for 11 on third downs. New York’s six first downs tied a franchise-low set in 1976.
“We weren’t at our best today,” Ryan said, “but that’s a credit to the Ravens.” New York’s fierce defense sacked Flacco on Baltimore’s first offensive play, forcing a fumble recovered by Sione Pouha. The Ravens’ equally intense ‘D’ held firm, and Nick Folk kicked a 23-yard field goal. Pouha grabbed another fumble later in the quarter, by Willis McGa-
hee, and Flacco was picked off by Antonio Cromartie on a sideline pass at the New York 3. Baltimore embarked on an impressive 11-play, 76-yard drive for a 7-6 halftime lead. McGahee scored from the 1 with six seconds left, but New York wasn’t done committing penalties. The Jets were offside on the extra point and had 10 penalties for 100 yards in the opening half.

Head of officiating stands by late call Associated Press
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The NFL is standing behind how a buzz-creating call was handled in the Detroit-Chicago game. Lions coach Jim Schwartz refuses to make a fuss about it. Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, though, wished referees could’ve used their own judgment to rule Calvin Johnson scored a touchdown. “I’d like to see a little commonsense injected into the officiating,” Del Rio said Monday. That’s exactly what the league doesn’t want. “What we try to do with any rule is eliminate the gray area,” NFL vice president of officiating Carl Johnson said. Calvin Johnson leaped for a catch and got two feet and a knee in the end zone before the football hit the ground and he let it go. It was ruled incomplete, allowing the Bears to hold on for a 19-14 win Sunday. Referee Gene Steratore said after the game that the receiver had to maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch, and his boss backed him up the next day. “I am extremely pleased how it was handled,” Carl Johnson said. “I was watching it here in the command center, and am proud of the way our guys handled it.” Carl Johnson, though, wasn’t surprised by the uproar. “It reminds me of the tuck rule, which a lot of people didn’t know,” he said. “But it was properly ruled on the field. Now it is a nonevent because the fans know it. Now we can further educate the fans and media on what the proper requirements are for a catch.” LIONS ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions and Matthew Stafford are relieved the quarterback doesn’t appear to need surgery on his throwing shoulder. They’re not saying much else. “I don’t know what I’m going to miss,” Stafford said Monday. Stafford was knocked out of the season opener when Chicago’s Julius Peppers sacked him Sunday, putting him on the sideline with a banged-up right shoulder — his third injury in two seasons. EAGLES PHILADELPHIA — Quarterback Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley have not been ruled out for Philadelphia’s game at Detroit despite sustaining concussions in the season opener. Eagles coach Andy Reid says both players must pass a specific evaluation process before they are cleared to play. He says the team’s medical staff will follow the NFL’s guidelines for concussions. Both players briefly returned after getting hurt in a 27-20 loss to Green Bay. Head injuries were an important issue for the NFL in the offseason. So, how could Bradley and Kolb be allowed to re-enter the game with concussions? “We stuck to the criteria there, and then followed up on it,” coach Andy Reid said Monday. “We didn’t just stick (them) out there without having followed the protocol. We also made sure that we stayed on top of it when they came back off the field and made the decision when symptoms were there. I have full trust in the trainers and the doctors and the procedure they admit through.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to the 32 teams last Dec. 2 saying a player who gets a concussion should not return to action on the same day if he shows certain signs or symptoms. Those include an inability to remember assignments or plays, a gap in memory, persistent dizziness, persistent headaches and confusion as evidenced by disorientation to person, time or place.
Anyone watching Bradley stagger to his feet and then crash to the ground probably would’ve considered him disoriented. “When he came off that initial time, he was fine, he went through all the steps and he flew through those things fine, and obviously was eager to get back out there,” Reid said. The Eagles lost Pro Bowl fullback Leonard Weaver (knee) and center Jamaal Jackson (triceps) for the season against Green Bay. PACKERS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Justin Harrell will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury and running back Ryan Grant will miss at least one game with an ankle injury. Packers coach Mike McCarthy says Grant has a “significant” ankle injury and is still undergoing tests, but he will not play against Buffalo on Sunday. GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tight end Kevin Boss sustained his third concussion since late in 2008 season in the opener against Carolina. His status for Sunday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts is uncertain. Giants coach Tom Coughlin says backup tackle William Beatty is out with a broken right foot that requires surgery. REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — For his opening act with the Washington Redskins, Mike Shanahan managed to win a game without his team scoring an offensive touchdown. For Act 2, he’d would like to see less smoke and mirrors. “Hopefully, ‘Shanahan football’ will be scoring a few more points,” the coach said Monday. COWBOYS IRVING, Texas — Dallas expects to have its two injured starters on the offensive line back for practice Wednesday. Marc Colombo would replace Alex Barron, whose holding penalty on the final play of the game wiped out what would’ve been a game-winning touchdown catch by Roy Williams. It was Barron’s third holding penalty of the game. BILLS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Middle linebacker Paul Posluszny will miss about three weeks after the starter hurt his right knee in a season-opening loss to Miami. RAMS ST. LOUIS — St. Louis linebacker Chris Chamberlain will be sidelined six to eight weeks with turf toe on his left foot, an injury that left him wearing a cast. PATRIOTS BOSTON — A lawyer for the family of a man hurt in a two-vehicle crash with New England quarterback Tom Brady’s car says his condition has worsened. Attorney Samuel Reef tells The Boston Globe newspaper the family of Rogerio Rodrigues is concerned for his well-being as it awaits more medical tests. Brady says he was scared out of his mind after he was involved. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Several New England Patriots have come to the defense of teammate Randy Moss after he said he felt unappreciated. Running back Fred Taylor said Monday that Moss spoke from his heart, so his integrity can’t be questioned. Taylor and running back Sammy Morris said the remarks after the Patriots’ 38-24 win over Cincinnati won’t be a distraction. And coach Bill Belichick repeated his praise of Moss as a good player who is liked by everyone.

Phillies surging Associated Press
MIAMI — Carlos Ruiz matched a career high with four RBIs, Joe Blanton allowed one run in six innings and the Philadelphia Phillies extended their September surge by beating the Florida Marlins 11-4 on Monday night. Ruiz, Jayson Werth, Chase Utley and Greg Dobbs all homered for the NL East leaders, who are 10-3 in September. The Phillies remained a game ahead of Atlanta, which beat Washington. Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard reached the 100-RBI mark for the fifth straight season, while Werth and Utley each scored twice. Blanton (7-6) struck out eight and walked two, dropping his ERA to 5.00, the lowest it’s been since May 8. Dan Uggla hit his 30th home run for Florida, making him the first second baseman in major league history to reach that plateau four times. Braves 4, Nationals 0 ATLANTA — Derek Lowe set a career high with 12 strikeouts and combined with Billy Wagner on a six-hitter to lead Atlanta over Washington. Lowe (13-12) was 0-3 with a 6.11 ERA in his first three starts against Washington this season before delivering an impressive win marked by two personal milestones. He earned an ovation from the small crowd of 18,647 with his 1,500th career strikeout against Ian Desmond in the fourth. Lowe struck out Wilson Ramos in the eighth for his 12th of the game. Reds 7, Diamondbacks 2 CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce returned from a two-week layoff and homered in each of his first two at-bats, and Cincinnati went deep five times in all against Arizona to secure its first winning season since 2000. The Reds’ nine-year streak of losing seasons was their longest in a half-century. With each win, the NL Central leaders close in on another breakthrough — their first playoff appearance since 1995. They moved seven games ahead of second-place St. Louis, which lost to the Cubs. Bruce missed the last two weeks because of a strained abdomen. He hit a solo homer and a two-run shot off Barry Enright (6-4), and later added an RBI single. Drew Stubbs, Joey Votto and Orlando Cabrera also homered. Cubs 5, Cardinals 1 ST. LOUIS — Jeff Samardzija pitched shutout ball in his first major league start this season and drove in a run to lead Chicago past St. Louis. Samardzija (1-1) filled in admirably for Carlos Silva, scratched due to pain in his pitching elbow. In his first big league appearance since April 19, the former Notre Dame football star allowed six hits in 5 23 innings. He walked four and struck out one. Astros 4, Brewers 2 HOUSTON — Brett Myers became the eighth pitcher in 90 years to throw six or more innings in 30 consecutive starts, Carlos Lee drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh and Houston beat Milwaukee. Mets 1, Pirates 0, 10 innings NEW YORK — Pinch-hitter Nick Evans singled home the winning run in the 10th inning to give New York a rain-delayed victory over Pittsburgh. AMERICAN LEAGUE Rays 1, Yankees 0, 11 innings ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Reid Brignac homered on a full count pitch leading off the bottom of the 11th inning, sending the Tampa Bay Rays into first place in the AL East with a victory over the New York Yankees. Brignac connected off Sergio Mitre (0-3), the fourth Yankees reliever that followed CC Sabathia, who pitched eight scoreless innings. Orioles 4, Jays 3, 11 innings BALTIMORE — Luke Scott singled in the winning run in the 11th inning, and the Orioles ended a 12-game losing streak against the Blue Jays. Athletics 3, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bobby Cramer, a former substitute teacher who started this season in the Mexican League, won his big league debut by pitching the Athletics over the Royals. Cramer held the Royals to one run and four hits in 51⁄3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. Cramer (1-0), a left-hander who turns 31 next month, started his pro career in 2003 in the Tampa Bay system.

sierra davis shows a camper how to serve.
Earlier this summer, Steven Page and Anna Page created, implemented and led a four-day tennis camp called “Serving with Steven and Aces with Anna” for children in the Salisbury community. The Page siblings wanted to share their passion for tennis with a diverse population in a fun and entertaining way while emphasizing an active lifestyle. The Pages consulted tennis professionals on activities for beginners and contacted local businesses about sponsorship so water and prizes could be provided for all campers. Car-
olina Counseling, Cheerwine, Salisbury High School and Salisbury Rotary International were involved. Volunteers from Salisbury High School included Joshua Schiemann, Seth Gentry, Lewis Young, Alex Weant, Sam Lewis, Savannah Wear, Sierra Davis, Anna Flynn, Joy Loeblein and Charlotte Mills. They assisted with teaching tennis fundamentals. Each day approximately 25-30 campers in grades 4-6 participated for 90 minutes. The camp culminated in a mini-tournament in which campers demonstrated forehands, backhands and serving skills.

Nadal wins first U.S. Open title
Appearing Sunday, Sept. 26th It's time to get ready for the
BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press
NEW YORK — The list was long. Everyone, even Rafael Nadal himself, tried to explain why he kept leaving the U.S. Open without a trophy, why it was the only Grand Slam tournament he hadn’t conquered. His grinding style exhausts him. The wind plays havoc with his spin-lathered strokes. The courts are too hard and too fast. The balls are too soft. And so on. Two marvelous, nearly perfect weeks — and one victory in a thrilling final — make that all sound rather silly. Nadal won his first U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 on Monday in a match filled with fantastic shotmaking by both men and interrupted by a thunderstorm a day after it was postponed by rain. It’s Nadal’s third consecutive major championship and ninth overall. He is the seventh man in tennis history with at least one title from each Grand Slam tournament. Rain pushed the men’s final from Sunday to Monday for the third straight year, and play was interrupted for nearly two hours during the second set. When they resumed, Djokovic took that set, the only one Nadal lost in the tournament. But the top-ranked Spaniard quickly went ahead in the third set and, really, that was that. “He took it away,” Djokovic said, “and he never gave me a chance to go back.” Once seen as Roger Federer’s nemesis, the 24-year-old Nadal now has made his own greatness quite clear.

rafael Nadal won 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 against Novak djokovic. “He has the capabilities already now to become the best player ever,” Djokovic said. “I think he’s playing the best tennis that I’ve ever seen him play on hard courts. He has improved his serve drastically — the speed, the accuracy. And, of course, his baseline (game) is as good as ever.” Nadal stretched his Grand Slam winning streak to 21 matches by adding the U.S. Open to his titles at the French Open in June, then Wimbledon in July. No man had won those three tournaments in the same year since Rod Laver won a true Grand Slam in 1969. Now Nadal heads to the Australian Open in January with a chance to claim a Rafa Slam of four consecutive major championships — something that also hasn’t been done since Laver.
No. 3 Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion and 2007 U.S. Open runner-up, made Nadal earn it. The Serb played superbly for long stretches, showing off the terrific returning, retrieving and big forehand he used to knock off 16-time Grand Slam champion Federer in Saturday’s semifinals. Coming out of the rain delay with Djokovic serving at 4-all, 30-all in the second set, both players clearly benefited from a bit of rest. Fresh of body and clear of mind, and with conditions perfect for tennis — calm and cool, the temperature in the 70s — they were superb, engaging in 10-, 15-, 20-stroke points that drew standing ovations and camera flashes from the stands, no matter who hit the winner.

Bass fishing league tourney at Lake Norman this weekend HUNTERSVILLE — The FLW Bass Fishing League is headed to Lake Norman this weekend for the final stop in the North Carolina Division for a two day super tournament. As many as 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $11,000. “A lot of fish will be caught using topwater baits and jigs,” said FLW Tour pro Bryan Thrift of Shelby. Thrift won the FLW Tour event on Lake Norman. “I would concentrate in the backs of creeks and around docks. “The great thing about Norman is that you can throw anything you want and still catch fish,” he said. Thrift added that the cooler mornings should make the early bite better; the fish will be schooling and coming up shallow. He believes that it will take 12 to 13 pounds a day to win this tournament. Takeoff and weigh-in will be at Blythe Landing located at 15901 N.C. 73 in Huntersville. Takeoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. Saturday while weigh-in will begin at 3 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public. The Lake Norman BFL tournament is being hosted by Visit Lake Norman. The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, offering bigger prizes to those who qualify for regional championships and those who make it to one of the longest-running championships in all of

The 14th annual Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival will be held on the Outer Bank from Nov. 9-14. In addition to birding, paddling and photography programs, it also includes a number of opportunities that will appeal to those who want to know more about the yesteryears of the area. Visit Rodanthe on Hatteras Island to hear the compelling telling of the story of the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station, the scene of the most highly awarded maritime rescue in U.S. history. Learn about its part in the US LifeSaving Service (est. 1871) which in 1915 became the US Coast Guard. In that 44-year history, the Chicamacomico lifesavers responded to 178,741 shipwreck victims, saving 177,286. The program also includes a self-guided tour of site which includes lifesaving stations, outbuildings, and a two-story 1907 period-furnished home. No review of history of the area would be complete without a visit to one of the Outer Banks’ historic lighthouses. Imagine a day in the life of Currituck Beach Lighthouse Keepers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Tour the private quarters of the Victorian 1876 Keepers’ House and other historic structures on the grounds. Learn about the duties of keepers and their families in the isolated seaside outpost. Climb 214 steps to the top of the 1875 Currituck Beach Lighthouse for an exhilarating bird’s-eye view of the northern Outer Banks with close inspection of the operational first order Fresnel lens that can be seen 18 miles out to sea. Portsmouth Island village, established by the N.C. Colonial Assembly in 1753 and maintained by the National Park Service since 1976, is a step back in time. Although the last resident left in 1971, the village and its remaining buildings, on the National Register of Historic Places, are a living testimonial to a once-thriving and vibrant coastal community. On Roanoke Island, the site of the first attempt at English colonization of the New World (20 years before Jamestown), visit The Island Farm, established in 1783 by Jesse Etheridge, and his grandson built the restored two-story house around 1850 using hewn and pit-sawn timbers and bricks believed to be from ship’s ballast. You can stroll the grounds and view grazing sheep and preserved outbuildings and stop at stations that recreate the vibrant life of the 1850s, from hearth cooking where you can try your hand at making a cornmeal Johnny cake, to children’s toys and

Canoeing and kayaking are among the outdoors activities available at the outer banks. games where you can give the games the Etheridge children played a try, like Hunt the Slipper, England and France, plus many others. As always, there are many programs that focus on birding, paddling, photography, and other wildlife adventures. Birding trips range from those geared toward beginners to experts who are searching for a life-list species. There are more than 400 species that can be found on the Outer Banks, of which more than a quarter of a million acres is in conservation in Dare County alone. The region offers some of the country’s best paddling for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. From tannin-fed cypress swamps to endless marsh mazes, it is possible to paddle the region for a lifetime yet still study charts at night, discovering unexplored areas. Registration currently is open for an assortment of water trips escorted by leaders who are familiar with the various areas. Physical demands range from open water with wind exposure, to short distances with excellent wind protection. Bill Thompson, guitarist with The Swinging Orangutangs, rocks in both the music world and as a naturalist. He will be the Wings Over Water keynote speaker on Friday, Nov. 12, at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. He has been with the Bird Watcher’s Digest since May 1988. In January 1995, he became the magazine’s editor, a position he still holds. Outgoing and funny, he enlivens bird walks and programs with his not-so-dry humor and everpresent guitar. There just can’t be a better way to end the day than taking a leisurely stroll through the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island while enjoying a relaxing drink and then having dinner right in
front of the shark tank before sitting back and enjoying Thompson’s humor, music and insight. This festival is traditionally set during the “shoulder season” when rates are lower for accommodations, traffic is light and the weather is mild. To learn more about the Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival, call 252-216-9464 or go to www.wingsoverwater. org. Wings Over Water is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Coastal Wildlife Refuge Society, Carolina Bird Club, Roanoke Island Festival Park and the Outer Banks Sentinel.
Outer Banks auctions Kiteboarders, windsurfers and boaters have two soundfront properties available in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Tranzon Fox has an auction scheduled for Sept. 25. The properties will be sold on-site via live public auction. At 11 a.m. in Frisco, a preforeclosure auction presents buyers the opportunity to buy a 3-acre soundfront property behind the Scotch Bonnet Marina. It is zoned S-1, which means “anything goes” and flood zone rating is the Outer Banks’ most desirable. The land was grandfathered with the installation of a gravel road that allows a 30-foot buffer rather than the new requirements of 50 feet from the water. The deepwater canal was recently dredged, and there is bulkheading along the canal side and a retaining wall at the Sound. At 2 p.m. in Buxton, a 2,600square-foot soundfront home will be auctioned. With almost an acre of land, this home comes with its own deeded harbor for small boats. Including a private boat slip, a separate garage/storage building for kayaks, canoes and other water toys, this could be a cash-producing investment.
Fuel for habitat: Project improves stream conditions for trout BY PATRICK B. ANDERSON Winona Daily News of Minnesota
PICKWICK, Minn. (AP) — Bruce Harem looked on as crews took trees from a pile the size of a two-story building and fed them through a giant wood chipper into a semi trailer. Morning rain turned parts of his cow pasture into a muddy, rutted work site, but the 65-year-old retired teacher didn’t seem to mind. The stream flowing off in the distance was his main concern. “I think it’s a good thing to do for the land,” he said. Workers cleared trees from a 66-foot stretch of Pickwick Creek as part of Trout Unlimited’s plan to improve 19.1-acres of trout habitat, one of the first “fuel for habitat”
stream restorations in the state. The group relies on a $300,000 grant from the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund to pay for the work. Instead of burning the harvested trees — which is standard practice — wood chips will be taken to wood-burning energy plants like the one on French Island, said Jeff Hastings, a regional project manager for Trout Unlimited’s national branch. “Now we’re coordinating these larger efforts,” he said. “It really makes sense to do it.” The restoration follows two years of planning and coordinating with the Minnesota Department of Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Trout Unlimited
brought in McGhie & Betts, a Rochester-Minn. based contractor, to manage the permitting process. About 90 percent of the harvested trees are box elder, said Luke Lunde, a wetland specialist for McGhie & Betts. Workers were careful to mark less-invasive trees, like willow, basswood and cottonwood, with red ribbons. When the trees are cleared, workers will reshape the steep banks to make them more gradual — further reducing the likelihood that sediment will fall into the water. “Our streams are great,” Hastings said. “They got the food, they got the temperature.What they’re lacking is the habitat — the overhead cover.” Wood planks installed un-
der water will offer trout a place to hide. V-shaped stone structures will create deep pools and add similar protection from natural predators. The trout population is projected to grow from less than 500 fish per mile to as much as 2,000 fish per mile within three years. Fish will spread out and could be harder to find at first, Hastings said. Eventually, though, clear banks and lots of trout will probably bring in more fishermen. Harem sold an easement to the DNR more than 30 years ago so any angler could march down the stretch of creek that cuts through his property. The land has been in his family for five generations, but the possibility of extra foot traffic doesn’t bother him at all. “We haven’t had any trou-

101 Ideas: Bright bulb buys Home & Garden TV A continuing compendium of tips and tricks from Home & Garden Television: The latest catalogs are in your lap. You leaf through page after page of dazzling photographs. Never mind that fall is no more than a breath away and you long for spring — but wait! Didn’t you just plant a bunch of flowers last year and only half came up? It may be time to have a spring garden filled with brilliant, uplifting colors for less than you’ve been spending. • Look for pest-proof varieties. For better protection against squirrels, gophers and deer, pick bulbs they don’t want to eat. If you’re planting bulbs that critters crave, set them inside metal cages sunk into the ground. • Concentrate on naturalizing varieties. Daffodils, crocus, grape hyacinths, wood anemone, snowdrops, glory of the snow, quamash and scilla last for years, multiplying in number. • Save money by buying in bulk. You can easily pay a third less per bulb if you buy in lots of 1,000 instead of 10 or 25. So get together with friends, neighbors or fellow garden-club members to buy in quantity. Any leftovers can be sold at your group’s fundraising events. • Start your bulb-shopping early enough to get choice pickings, but don’t plant them until the weather is consistently cool. Store them below 60 degrees. Then plant in a sunny area in soil that you’re sure is well-drained. Most bulbs hate wet feet.

The problem with green politics is that everyone complains, but viable alternatives are few and far between. While everyone wants to eliminate resourceconsuming lawns, no one discusses good green-lawn substitutes. Smart design is needed when reconsidering the space once covered by a lawn. The challenge is balancing your needs and those of the environment. Some folks can do this all by themselves; others may need to call in a designer. Do-it-yourselfers should remember that you can walk across a lawn to get to various parts of the yard. So if the new plan is to be functional, you must respect the old connections you and your family are used to. For example, plopping a food garden in conflict with the direct path to the garage means that you have to move around it every time you go to or from the car. While you may be willing to walk around, it’s more difficult to change set patterns. The first and most important rule of rethinking lawn space is to make these necessary connections in a logical way. This means getting from Point A to Point B in as short and direct a manner as you can manage. These are the go-to pathways that link the back door to the garage, the front yard to the side yard or the pool enclosure to the nearest bathroom. These are connections you must preserve, and such links must also be surfaced for use in all seasons. Designers call this site circulation. How you lay out the connecting walkways and paths also influences the size and configuration of the remaining open spaces. If that vegetable garden must go where it interferes with the connection to the garage, then it’s best split into two major spaces divided by a walkway. This solves the connection problem while re-
taining your desired use for the space. The newly created spaces should blend into the style of your existing landscape. If the landscape is soft, natural and curvy, then your connections should be laid out that way, too. If you have a rectilinear landscape such as a colonial layout or something ultramodern, then the connections and their adjacent spaces should be more geometric in form as well. Next, the resulting spaces should be treated in two fundamental ways: planted or fallow. A fallow piece of ground is neither planted nor irrigated. These are the ultimate low-maintenance solutions. They can be paved, which is expensive, but divides the soil from the atmosphere by an impermeable surface that creates runoff. Fallow ground may be more inexpensively treated with a mulch layer that sits on top to discourage weeds from growing. This mulch is porous enough to allow rainwater to saturate the soil underneath and recharge groundwater. Mulches made of locally sourced materials are best because little fuel is required to transport them. The fun comes when you consider how to plant the spaces. This will be a balance between practical and aesthetic. A practical choice might be orchard trees or food, herb or flower gardens. An aesthetic approach may include planting with native perennials or creating a Mediterranean-style garden to conserve water. If you miss the grass, perhaps a meadow with drought-resistant ornamentals or native grasses blended with compatible perennials make greener alternatives. If you plan to retire the lawn, don’t rush the process. Take time to design it properly. Strive to make every part of the garden beautiful or productive. Avoid high-maintenance situations. Never forget that it costs the same to create a poorly thought out landscape as it does a welldesigned backyard space.

California church members show faith with tattoos ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Church logo tattoos are the latest in offbeat testimony at an Orange County church that holds Sunday services in a punk rock nightclub and collects offerings in KFC buckets. City Church of Anaheim is celebrating its first year in operation and the goal of reaching a 200-member flock with a radical commitment to the congregation and community: Tattoos of the red-heart church logo. Pastor Kyle Steven Bonenberger told worshippers that God “tattooed your name on his heart� and it was time for an everlasting commitment to Him and the church. The Orange County Register reports about a dozen people got inked, fulfilling the pledge they made if the church doubled its normal attendance.

OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) — Deputies in Florida had to handcuff a rather unusual suspect — a 7-foot-long alligator. A crossing guard at a Tampa-area school spotted the gator lounging near an elementary school Monday morning around the time children would be walking to school. As she and three deputies waited for a trapper to arrive, the alligator started walking toward the children. Three deputies roped the gator’s neck and tail as the animal rolled and thrashed. Its tail broke off chunks of stucco from a nearby wall. Deputies later secured the gator’s mouth with electrical tape and handcuffed its hind legs. Florida Fish and Wildlife officials took custody of the animal until the trapper arrived.
mote traditional Thai kickboxing. “It’s good that I can still stand,� 59-year-old Payap Tongchuen joked after donning gloves and trunks and going two rounds with Direk Tungfang in a boxing ring set up for the occasion in front of the parliament building in Bangkok. The referee declared the fighters — both former professional boxers — joint victors. Spectators thought Direk, 64, from Nonthaburi province just north of Bangkok, outclassed his opponent from the eastern province of Sa Kaeo, knocking him down once. Both men sit in the upper house where lawmakers have no party affiliation. “The aim is to market Thai boxing, as Muay Thai at the international level,� said Direk. Muay Thai, as Thai kickboxing is known, is the national sport and its popularity has been growing worldwide. Fighters employ punches, kicks and elbow and knee strikes against their opponents.

along Route 6A anytime between May to mid-December, when it closes for the winter. But fall brings the harvest and with it the annual the Grape Stomp and Jazz Festival, on Sept. 19 this year. On the rail trail in Eastham, Arnold’s Lobster & Clam Bar, an award-winning, fast-food style restaurant, has a loyal summer following that doesn’t mind waiting up to an hour for food. After Sept. 12, however, the restaurant and adjacent miniature golf course are only open Friday though Sunday, and they close for the season Oct. 11. (The outdoor restrooms and vending machines are left along the bike path until November.) Still, other dining options are apt to be more accessible in the fall. A new French restaurant near the start of the rail trail in Wellfleet, PB Boulangerie Bistro, plans to close only for January. Although there was seldom a wait for dinner in the restaurant, summer vacationers were lined up nearly an hour before the bakery opened at 7 a.m. to feast on take-out croissant, brioche, bread and pastry. They snapped up nearly 250 baguettes and 1,500 plain, chocolate, and almond croissants each day, keeping the lines going until the bakery closed at 7 p.m. Owner Boris Villatte said he couldn’t imagine crowds like that in the fall. For cyclists that’s an especially good thing. It means that after all that riding, there’s a slice of well-earned flan waiting at the end of the trail.

birds are still interesting and the ocean is right there. It’s beautiful,” said Wendy Fox of Boston, who spends many weekends in the fall cycling the Cape. “And as the weather cools down bicycling is a lot easier.” There isn’t the vibrant autumn foliage found in Northern New England, but there are subtle changes in the oak leaves and sea grass, as well as brilliant red cranberry bogs and deep purple grapes awaiting harvest. “And as the leaves start to drop the views improve,” Fox said. Indeed, locals — from bike shop owners to the bicycling park ranger who patrols the rail trail — admit that fall is their favorite time to ride on the Cape. And what was good has gotten even better. Many paths have been improved in recent years. The rail trail was repaved; the Shining Sea Bikeway more than doubled in length and parts of the Province Lands Trail — which opened in 1967 as the first bike trail built by the National Park Service — were widened with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. With little to worry about in terms of where to cycle, visitors should focus on planning other parts of their trip. Many shops and restaurants scale back their hours come September, so it’s a good idea to call first. Advance planning can also help cyclists find one of the many fall festivals on the Cape. For instance, the Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod is an easy sixmile ride from Provincetown

WELLFLEET, Mass. (AP) — Cycling Cape Cod in the summer is like experiencing an ice cream cone; you’ll wait in line, be surrounded by kids and end up sticky. But bike riding the Cape in the fall? That’s more like a cranberry cocktail; slightly sophisticated, cool and colorful. Just as both refreshments are special treats, so is cycling here in either season along one of the paved, carfree paths. Here are some of the options. • Cape Cod Rail Trail: This flat, 22-mile trail runs through oak trees, evergreens and marsh between Wellfleet and Dennis. It passes through Eastham, Orleans and Harwich, where a bike rotary connects a seven and a-half mile spur to Chatham. The Nickerson State Park bike network connects to the rail trail and offers another eight miles of hilly cycling around ponds, lakes and bogs. • Shining Sea Bikeway: This flat path runs 10.7 miles along the coast from Falmouth to Woods Hole, through salt marsh, cranberry bogs, ponds and woodlands. It’s the only bike path on Cape Cod that runs along the seashore. • Province Lands Trail: This roller-coaster trail snakes for seven and a-half miles through the dunes, wetlands and beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore near Provincetown. • Cape Cod Canal Bikeway: This flat, concrete path runs about seven and a-half miles between the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, offering great views of the canal’s boat traffic. With such great cycling options, it’s no surprise that these multi-use paths are crowded in summer, bustling with parents pushing strollers, summer camp groups and young children learning to ride. The tourists who flock to the Cape’s beaches in July and August also mean heavy car traffic, long waits for restaurants and even longer lines for ice cream, which must be gobbled up before melting in the 80-degree heat. But after Labor Day, the visitors leave, the temperatures cool and the Cape takes on a quieter, more relaxed flavor. “The weather is gorgeous, the crowds are done, the

The Gardener: Fall gardening tips B Y J OE L AMP ’ L Scripps Howard News Service
It’s been a long, hot summer in many areas of the country this year. With cooler weather coming, I really enjoy fall gardening activities as I reflect on the growing season and start putting my garden to bed. Here are a few things to consider this fall as you brighten up areas of your yard as well as prepare for another productive season next year: Add instant color bursts to dull areas. As you travel around your community, you can’t help but notice bright golds, bronzes, maroons and other colors. Each year, chrysanthemum selections and colors continue to impress. For those of you who crave that fall color in your yard, this is the time to plant some. Just pick a sunny spot with well-drained soil and your mums will be happy. Make sure to select nursery plants that are in bud, not bloom, for a longer color display this year. Many people don’t know that mums are actually perennials. Depending on your climate, you can look forward to their arrival every year. The sooner you plant your mums, the sooner they’ll become established and the greater their chance for survival into the following year. If you want to get a head start on next year, make sure your mums are well mulched this fall to help them survive the cold. As they grow next season, cut them back several inches around Memorial Day, and then do the same again around the Fourth of July. This ensures that your color show will repeat in the fall. If you don’t prune them back, no need to worry — they’ll just bloom earlier. Pull those weeds. I know: This can’t be music to your ears. But you’ll be doing
yourself and your garden a favor if you pull weeds now, before they release millions of seeds as those approaching winds get them sailing about your yard and landing back in your soil. Remove spent flowers and seasonal vegetables. Annuals and many vegetables don’t come back every year like perennials, so pull them up by the root and add them to your compost pile. Just be sure not to add any diseased parts. Remove debris. Make sure your garden is free of debris as much as possible. You may not realize it, but leaves, twigs and other debris can be a significant repository for many types of pests and diseases that overwinter in your garden, becoming active during warm weather. Besides, the more you clean up in the fall, the less you have to do come spring. Remember to compost only healthy material. Prune the dead wood. Pruning and removing any diseased, dead or dying wood will reduce the possibility of an infestation later. Selective pruning during the fall can also help remove branches that are likely to rub against other branches. This abrasion can open the bark layer, exposing the wood to future diseases. Spread mulch. Protect your plants’ roots by adding a layer of mulch this fall. In colder climates, mulch should be added after the ground freezes. This will prevent frost heave and help keep soil temperatures more even. Mulch also helps protect evergreen foliage from soil-borne diseases splashing back onto the plant. Clean and put away tools. At the very end of the season, before freezing temperatures approach, don’t forget to put away the hoses, drain the irrigation lines and bring in all the tools and equipment.
Make sure to drain the gas from your lawn mower and sharpen the blade. Here is a tip to clean garden tools: fill a 5-gallon bucket with all-purpose sand and a quart of motor oil. Repeatedly submerge heavily soiled tools such as spades and hoes into the bucket. The sand will strip debris while the oil protectively coats the blade. Choose a bucket with a tightfitting lid. You can reuse this mixture year after year. These steps will help you get off to a faster start next spring, and in a cleaner, healthier garden.

5-year-old boy wins Alaska moose calling contest ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — For 5-year-old Andrew Polasky, being loud has paid off. Andrew was the winner of this weekend’s moose calling contest at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage. He lives with his parents, Janessa and Ray, on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage. He really hasn’t been around moose that much, even though they’re ever-present in Alaska’s largest city. Instead, he’s more used to deer from his native Wisconsin. So what’s his secret for winning a moose calling contest? His mom says he just likes making a lot of noise, and, she says, “He’s good at it.” For his efforts, Andrew won a calendar, a $25 gift certificate to an Anchorage restaurant — the Moose’s Tooth, of course — and a moose cutout to hang on his wall.

After teasing the 300 audience members with a suggestion she might take them on a trip to New York, Philadelphia or Los Angeles, she said her last season merited something “bigger.” “So I started to think about where would I most want to go,” she said over the din of an audience that suddenly unWINFREY derstood they were going somewhere far away. “Maybe I should take you all with me to the other side of the world. We’re going to Australia,” Winfrey shouted. With that, a mock-up of a Quantas Air Lines jet rolled onto stage, its door opened and actor John Travolta, who also flies airplanes, stepped out dressed as a Quantas pilot. Winfrey, who opened her 19th season six years ago by giving out cars to everyone in her studio audience, will take this group in December on an 8-day, 7-night trip. The audience was made up of some of who the program called its most loyal viewers over the years. And throughout the show, Winfrey introduced audience members, including a man named Larry who received word he’d been invited to the program via a taped message from Winfrey delivered to his house by NASCAR driver Jimmy Johnson. There were some surprises for Winfrey as well. Actor Don Johnson, who declined to appear on the program when it first aired in 1986 — when he was a much bigger television star than Winfrey — came by to explain he’d wanted to appear but “Miami Vice” bosses wouldn’t let him because he was too busy. “But I understand things have been going OK for you,” he joked to Winfrey. Winfrey teared up during a surprise appearance from singer/songwriter Paul Simon, who sang a song he’d written in honor of the show’s 10th season with updated lyrics. The rest of this week’s show will include an appearance by country music stars The Judds, and a return to Williamson, W.Va., where she filmed a town hall episode about AIDS in 1987. The week will end with a live show on Friday, in which Winfrey will announce her first book club selection in nearly a year. This season a parade of celebrities are likely to follow Travolta, who danced with Winfrey to open Monday’s program. Over the years, Winfrey has interviewed a host of celebrities, including Michael Jackson, Julia Roberts and Tom Cruise — who made headlines when he jumped on her sofa to proclaim his love for wife Katie Holmes. Winfrey also might land some major interviews, as she has done throughout the years with presidential candidates George W. Bush and later Barack Obama. But Janice Peck, author of “The Age of Oprah: Cultural Icon for the Neoliberal Era,” expects Winfrey will fill her season with giveaways, flashbacks and visits from past guests “who can come in and talk about how they’ve been affected by her.” While Monday’s season premiere is the beginning of the end of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” it’s not the end of Winfrey. She’s set to launch

Ask Amy: Mom with baby wants to stay out late like. She is my only child, and her personal life is a mess. She has made some bad choices and decisions. — Concerned Mom Dear Concerned: Your daughter is not a “kid.” She is a grown woman and a mother. As the frequent, regular caretaker of her baby, you have a right to expect her to limit her “going out” time. Her primary job should be to be with and take care of her baby when she isn’t working outside the home. Your daughter needs to learn how to be a more present and responsible parent. She should not tell you when she is going out. She should ask you in advance if it is convenient for you and if you are willing to watch the baby when she goes out.
She shouldn’t have to tell you where she is going, but she should make sure you can reach her when she’s out, and she should return at a decent hour so that she has enough energy for her baby and work the next day. I agree with you that 2 a.m. is a reasonable deadline. Dear Amy: My girlfriend and I have been dating for three years now. We’re both in college and live together. I care about her very much. Lately I’ve noticed that we really don’t have much in common. We can never decide on something to do that we would both enjoy. This ranges from things to do at home to dates, vacations and what and where to eat. If it’s something I want to do, she doesn’t have a good time, and even though I try to
have a good time when out with her, she ends up grouchy or sad and wants to go home. The only thing we do together which we seem to enjoy is our sex life. I feel it’s the only thing we have in common. I worry that eventually we will lose the sexual part of the relationship and have nothing left. I don’t want to break it off because I worry I won’t find anyone I feel this way about again. Can you help? — Uncommon Love Dear Uncommon: Some couples never lose their sexual attraction. But even these fortunate couples need to find a way to get along the other 233/4 hours of the day. To enjoy the fullness of a balanced relationship, couples must embrace (or tolerate) one another’s friendships and interests and also devel-
op shared interests. If after three years you don’t have this compatibility, it’s unlikely you’ll develop it. Sexual heat is wonderful, but it’s not as rare as you seem to think. I suggest that the next time you contemplate a longterm, live-in relationship you should look for friendship and compatibility, rather than sexual attraction alone. Dear Amy: The letter from “Frustrated” about his wife’s giving his clothes to Goodwill could have been written by me! My wife used to give my clothes to Goodwill and then lie about what happened to my shirts! We came to an agreement about giving clothes away. I live in New England, and we basically have two seasons (winter and summer), so when we pack away summer
4 steps to simple record keeping If the paper monster has buried you under an avalanche of receipts, bank statements, ATM slips, investment records, paycheck stubs and bills, the good news is you probably can throw most of it away without worry. But before you fire up the shredder, you need to know what to toss and what to keep. • Step 1. Toss all you can. Monthly. Once you have reconciled your bank MARY and credit card stateHUNT ments, you can shred ATM receipts, bank deposit slips, credit card receipts and sales receipts at the end of each month. Keep receipts for purchases that may be tax-deductible, those that involve warranties and any item that has a replacement cost that exceeds the deductible on your homeowners or renters insurance. Yearly. Once you reconcile your W-2 against your paycheck stubs, you can toss those stubs for the year, along with monthly credit card and mortgage statements, phone and utility bills, and quarterly and monthly investment reports. The same goes for other statements that detail the entire year’s activity on a final end-of-the-
year statement. • Step 2. Keep what you must. Three to seven years. Hang on to yearend statements for credit card accounts, your mortgage and your investments, as well as W-2s and 1099s, which recap the year’s activities. Keep these for at least three years, along with canceled checks and receipts for deductible expenses, retirement account contributions, charitable donations, child care bills, mortgage interest and all other items that support your income tax filings. The Internal Revenue Service has three years to examine your tax return for errors and up to six years if there’s reason to suspect that you underreported your gross income by 25 percent or more. Until all possible audit windows close, you should retain all supporting documents. Indefinitely. Keep tax returns for the long haul and receipts for major purchases and home improvements for as long as you own them. In the event of an insurance claim, you may need to prove these purchases, or your heirs will need to know how much you paid for them for tax purposes. • Step 3. Pick a spot. If you don’t have a designated place for paperwork, it’s going to end up in piles all over the house. The secret for taming the
clothes we select items for Goodwill together. I have to admit that my closet was overstuffed with unworn clothing. Communication worked for us. The bottom line is that if this issue is your only problem, then life is good. — Happily Married Dear Happily: Wow. You actually pack away your summer clothes? In the winter, I simply practice “extreme layering.” Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

paper monster is to designate one room, corner, drawer, cabinet or closet where you store all of your bills, current records and paperwork. You’ll need a trash can, file folders and a container to hold them. Keep all of your important papers in this one place. For paperwork that you will keep longer than one month, create a file folder. One folder might be labeled “TaxDeductible,” another “Insurance,” and so on. • Step 4. Stick to it. Get into a routine of tossing what you can and filing the rest. Keep your system simple and you’ll stick with it. You’ll be amazed at the difference a little organization will make in your life. You’ll be less likely to misplace bills, miss payment deadlines or forget to take valuable tax deductions. The biggest payoff will be peace of mind.

NEW YORK (AP) — John Mayer is losing friends — on the Internet at least. A spokeswoman for the pop singer says he has discontinued his Twitter account with his Battle Studies Tour “now at a close and a return to the studio planned.” Mayer had more than 3.7 million followers on the social networking website. He used the account to invite University of South Carolina fans to see a free show in February before the start of the tour to promote his album “Battle Studies.” An e-mailed statement says Mayer continues to communicate with fans through his blog. Mayer’s hits include “Your Body is a Wonderland” and “Waiting on the World to Change.”
Malkovich cast as Casanova in Austria VIENNA (AP) — Actor John Malkovich will star as the 18th-century womanizer Casanova in a new Austrian theater production. “The Giacomo Variations” is described as a mix between a play and an opera and will feature music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Malkovich will play an aged Casanova. His singing counterpart will be Austrian baritone Florian Boesch. Austrian radio quoted Malkovich as saying at Monday’s presentation of the project that “it’s the closest I’ll ever get to realizing my boyhood dream of being in the Vienna Boys’ Choir.” “The Giacomo Variations” is slated to premiere at Vienna’s Ronacher Theater on Jan. 5.

Developer of ‘gallbladder cleanse’ lied Dear Dr. Gott: I have a family history of gallbladder trouble, and I react badly to fatty foods. Have you heard of Dr. Hulda Clark’s recipe for a gall bladder cleanse? It is very popular, but is it safe? Sign me cautious. Dear Cautious Reader: During Dr. Hulda Clark’s lifetime, she claimed to cure cancer, AIDS and a number of other diseases. She claimed to have held a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Saskatchewan and a Ph.D. in physiology from the University of Minnesota. The Register of Ph.D. degrees from U of M, however, indicates that Dr. Clark actually DR. PETER held a doctorate in zoology GOTT and minored in botany. She also listed a degree in naturopathy from the Clayton College of Natural Health. This college is a nonaccredited correspondence school in Birmingham, Ala. The course has been described in a magazine article as a 100hour course with a tuition of $695. Dr. Clark claimed that many diseases and all cancers are caused by pollutants, parasites and toxins, and the body can be cured simply by ridding itself of these substances. Accordingly, she invented a “parasite Zapper” that passes an electric current through the blood, thus becoming effective against the AIDS virus, herpes, obesity, parasites and numerous other serious conditions. In 2004, the respected
publication New England Journal of Medicine reported that a 52-year-old man with a cardiac pacemaker experienced dizziness and near fainting after using the equipment. It was determined the Zapper caused his pacemaker to malfunction and disrupted his heart’s rhythm. In fairness to Dr. Clark, a warning was posted on the packaging, but the patient apparently didn’t read it. In 1999, Dr. Clark was arrested in San Diego based on a fugitive warrant from Indiana, where she faced charges of practicing medicine without a license. She was apprehended in California and returned to Indiana to stand trial. In April 2000, a judge hearing the case dismissed the charges on the grounds that too much time had elapsed between the filing of the charges and her arrest. The judge did not address the merits of the charges but only the issue of whether the delay had compromised her ability to mount a defense and her right to a speedy trial. The irony of it all is that in September 2009, Dr. Clark died of complications of multiple myeloma, a form of lymphoma. My recommendation to you is an emphatic NO. Avoid large meals, fatty foods, alcohol and other triggers that cause indigestion. While low-cholesterol meals will not prevent gallbladder stones, they can keep pain and symptoms from occurring. Avoid crash diets. Lose weight and keep it off. If appropriate, review your medications with your physician, since estrogen, some cholesterol-lowering medications
and oral contraceptives are known to increase the risk of developing stones. If appropriate, request a referral to a gastroenterologist. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Medical Specialists.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. Be sure to mention the title or print out an order form from my website www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Friends and close contacts usually play significant personal roles in your affairs, and are likely to do so once again in the year ahead. However, some big opportunities may come your way through work or school-related people who like you. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Instead of attempting to outrun your competition, you should outthink them. When it comes to competitive situations, the race is more likely to go to the smartest person, not necessarily the fastest. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Trying to force something could be like trying to push square pegs into round holes. In fact, developments that are dictated by chance and circumstance will turn out far better. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Only self-doubt and negative thinking can impede your progress, but, sadly, that’s exactly how you’re likely to handle what’s important. You’d be better off if you can think fearlessly. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Sometimes realistic thinking isn’t enough to get you what you want, and it could be one of those times. Your intuition or hunches could be a big trump card when played. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — That which you learn firsthand through personal experience can generally be far more effective than most book reading. One such important lesson could take place. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Fitting yourself into a venture another has created isn’t easy, so if you see something in which you want to be included, make yourself valuable enough to be needed. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You don’t always feel comfortable in large groups, but you could find yourself in one. The solution is to seek one or two people you like and stick closely to them throughout the entire affair. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you want to encourage helpfulness, you first need to be thoughtful and of service to others. Once you set the example, you’ll reap the returns. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The only way you are likely to advance your self-interests is to deal with persons who are pertinent to your plans on a one-on-one basis. Committees or group involvements aren’t likely to work. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unless you can gain momentum by earnestly focusing on what you’ve got in the works, you aren’t likely to get very far. Once you get rolling, however, it’ll be another story. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don’t put off important discussions until later in the day, when most people get tired. Once you have your thoughts organized and your ideas assembled, get to the people you need immediately. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Anything that affects your material wellness and/or security should be taken care of as quickly as possible. Don’t put off thinking you can gain more with time, because you won’t. United FeatUre Syndicate inc.

Kenneth Grahame, a Scottish author who wrote “The Wind in the Willows,” said, “The strongest human instinct is to impart information; the second strongest is to resist it.” At the bridge table, everything, even a pass, imparts information, but many players resist benefiting from it — as the declarer in today’s deal. You are in three notrump. West leads the heart king. What would be your line of play? West opened with a weak two-bid, showing a decent six-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. West did well to lead a heart. If he had chosen a spade, declarer would have immediately played on clubs to generate nine
Jimmy Fallon salutes the power of Broadway NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Fallon is tapping the power of Broadway this week. The talk show host will be introducing a different musical act every night on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” from among the shows playing in Times Square just a few blocks away. It starts Monday night with a performance by the cast of the Tony-winning musical “Memphis.” On Tuesday, Sean Hayes was scheduled to stop by with

castmates from “Promises, Promises.” Billie Joe Armstrong is expected on Wednesday to introduce the Tony-winning musical “American Idiot” based on Green Day’s music, and Thursday will feature music from the upcoming “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.” It’s Fallon’s first stab at creating a Broadway-themed week. ——— Online: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com
tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and five clubs. Now, though, it was not so easy, because dummy’s entry to the long clubs had been dislodged. South won the third round of hearts, then played
four rounds of clubs. East, after winning the last, shifted to his spade 10. Declarer won and played a diamond to dummy’s queen, but East scooped up the trick with his king and led his second spade. South went down one. South’s thinking that West might have the diamond king showed his resistance to the information available. West surely had the queen-jack of spades, and he had produced three heart honors. He could not also have the diamond king; otherwise, he would have opened one spade. East was ripe for an endplay. At trick four, declarer should have played a spade to his hand. Then he could have cashed his long heart and second top spade before playing four rounds of clubs. East would have had to lead away from his diamond king for plus one, not minus one.
