Fire destroys Neel Estates home

Firefighters arrived Thursday night to find flames from the garage going through the roof of this house at 165 Regency Road.

shelley smith/SALISBURY POST

More than 100 firefighters and emergency personnel responded to a Thursday night three-alarm fire at the home of John and Shirley Pruitt, 165 Regency Road.

John, Shirley and their son got out safely, but their 5,666-square-foot home in the Neel Estates neighborhood was destroyed.

The fire was called in at 7:29 p.m.,

and tankers were still bringing in water after 10 p.m. Ponds off of Airport Road and Neel Road were used as water points.

Neighbors in the Neel Estates neighborhood could only watch as the flames took over the Pruitts’ home.

Officials with the Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office said the fire started in the garage after a vehicle caught fire. The fire quickly spread from the garage to the attic, which spread to the rest of the house. No

United Way event brings volunteers out in force

A Kannapolis man died after his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of Brown and Millbridge roads Wednesday.

Mark Wayne McClure, 51, of 6060 Chisholm Trail, was pronounced dead by responders with Rowan County EMS. Tony Lee Black, 61, of Troutman, was behind the wheel of the silver Corvette that hit McClure. He was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle. The investigating trooper said Black’s vision was possibly obstructed by the setting sun.

Black’s wife, Shirley, was in the passenger seat. Both were taken to Iredell Memorial Hospital for minor injuries.

McClure was traveling south on Millbridge Road when the Blacks’ vehicle heading west on Brown Road failed to stop for the stop sign. The two collided, and McClure was thrown nearly 100 feet from the point of impact.

Just before the summer began, students at China Grove Elementary were devastated by the death of fellow fifth-grader Caleigh Morrigan Tutherow. But every time they play now, she will be remembered.

Volunteers constructed a play/ fitness area at the school Thursday during the annual Day of Caring.

Tutherow, 11, was the third child who attended the school who has died in the last few years.

In 2006, Deanna Williams, 8, died after she was hit by a car on Miller Road, and later that same year, Patty Burgdoff was killed when the car she was riding in was hit from behind by a drunk driver near Gary’s Barbecue on U.S. 29.

The school constructed a garden in memory of Deanna and a playground in memory of Patty.

Principal Jenny White said Caleigh had some chronic health issues, but her death was still unexpected.

The week Caleigh died, organizers spoke with White about conducting a project for the Day of Caring. The school decided to change the project and make it in honor of the fifth-grader.

“We thought this would be a better connection to the United Way,” White said. “We are thrilled they came.”

The project also promotes health and gets children active, she said.

Dennis Sims, project site manager, said this is the third year he and others from the Milford Hills Baptist Church men’s group have participated.

“We enjoy doing it. The Day of

signs of foul play were found.

The first firefighters on scene immediately called for a second alarm when they saw the magnitude of the fire. A ladder truck was used to fight the flames from the air, and crews were also behind the house with hoses.

At one point, firefighters attempting to go inside decided to back out. As they were retreating, the porch col-

Six-year-old Demerea Porter remained in critical but stable condition Thursday after being run over by the rear tires of a moving school bus Wednesday morning, police said.

The bus ran over his midsection and one of his legs. Demerea was to have more surgery later Thursday.

A student at Royal Oaks Elementary School, which is at 608 Dakota St. in Kannapolis, Demerea had missed his bus and was running to catch it when he tripped and fell, Kannapolis Police Capt. Chuck Adams said. Demerea’s mother, Precious, ran over to Demerea after the accident, picked him up and took him back to their apartment on University Drive

Let there be lights: Speedway to host holiday display

BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — Charlotte Motor Speedway will partner with Miller Davis Inc. of Salisbury to produce a 2.5-mile drive-through Christmas light park and village in the infield and on portions of the legendary track.

Speedway officials said the holiday light display will be one of the biggest on the East Coast, having a $10.2 million economic impact for the region and generating 80 seasonal and a few permanent jobs.

The cost will be $20 a car, with package deals for groups and motor coaches.

The attraction opens Nov. 22 and runs through Jan. 2, open 6 to 10 nightly.

Gov. Beverly Perdue, on hand for the announcement Thursday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Club, predicted it would become a national and international attraction.

“This is all about economic development,” Perdue said, “It’s why I’m here today.”

She said it continues an effort to make Charlotte Motor Speedway a year-

Event organizers are predicting 250,000 people will visit “Carolina Christmas at Charlotte Motor Speedway” over its 42-night schedule.

“We’re super-excited about the economic impact,” it will have for the area, said Marcus Smith, president and general manager for the speedway.

The track likes to do things differently and on a bigger scale, Smith added, promising there would “be no other show” like this one in the Carolinas or

Church’s back-to-school event starts Saturday at 1 Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church is hosting a weekend back-to-school event with games and workshops.

Resource Coordinator Esther Atkins said the church is pursuing three initiatives, one is the back-to-school event taking place this weekend.

The others are an after school tutoring program, which will begin Oct. 4, and an adult literacy program, starting later this year.

The event Saturday is from 1 p.m.– 4 p.m., at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 1920 Shirley Ave. In 2009, several members of the church had a vision to do more to enrich the quality of life within the Salisbury and Rowan County communities. The members established the Generating Greater Empowerment Opportunities (GGEO) Community Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization, to promote the well-being of the community by offering a comprehensive range of services.

The services include training, resources through networking, partnerships, community and corporate sponsorships and grants, Atkins said.

This is a kickoff to the after school program, Atkins said.

The Generating Greater Empowerment Opportunities Community Foundation has partnered with Community In

Schools of Rowan County and Knox Middle School to assist in improving academic performance and end-of-grade scores of at-risk students at Knox Middle.

“This is truly an opportunity to uplift the children in our community. The time is upon us to focus on what’s important — family, community and education. When our children see what is valued, their value systems will change,” said Foundation Chairwoman Nicole Hill.

“The program is not limited to those kids at Knox, but they are our target,” Atkins said.

Judy McDaniel, event coordinator for the back-toschool extravaganza said she believes, “going back to school should not be a dreaded event for parents and children, but a time of celebration and fun for all.”

There will be games, entertainment, giveaways and resource information for all who attend. One person will win a Compaq laptop in a raffle.

Some of the organizations that will be represented at the event are: Smart Start Rowan, Rowan County Health Department, Project Safe Neighborhoods, Rowan Public Library and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.

For more information, contact coordinator Esther Atkins at 704-798-6209 or estheratkins@gmail.com.

Gunman shoots Johns Hopkins surgeon Man then takes life of his 84-year-old mother and himself BALTIMORE (AP) — A man who became distraught as he was being briefed on his mother’s condition by a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital pulled a gun and shot the doctor Thursday, then killed his mother and himself in her room at the world-famous medical center, police said.

The doctor, who was wounded in the abdomen, was expected to survive.

The gunman, 50-year-old Paul Warren Pardus, had been listening to the surgeon around midday when he “became emotionally distraught and reacted ... and was overwhelmed by the news of his mother’s condition,” Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said.

Pardus pulled a semiautomatic gun from his waistband and shot the doctor once, the commissioner said. The doctor, identified by colleagues as orthopedic surgeon David B. Cohen, collapsed outside the eighth-floor room where Pardus’ mother, 84-year-old Jean Davis, was being treated.

Pardus then holed up in the room in a more than two-hour standoff. When officers made their way to the room, they found Pardus and his mother shot to death, he on the floor, she in her bed.

Woman admits she threw acid in her own face VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A woman who gained sympathy worldwide after she claimed a random assailant threw acid on her face came forward with a startling admission: She inflicted the attack on herself.

Vancouver police chief Clifford Cook said Bethany Storro admitted under police questioning to fabricating a story about the attack, in which she suffered severe burns.

Cook said he did not know a motive for Storro’s actions, but added she is “very remorseful.” He said Storro was still being interviewed by detectives.

Police had been seeking a black woman with a ponytail after Storro described the Aug. 30 attack. She had said the woman asked her, “Hey, pretty girl, want something to drink?” then threw acid in her face.

Police said they haven’t yet identified the substance Storro used, nor did they find any evidence of acid in her home or car.

Tax hikes for all on way if Bush-era cuts aren’t saved WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s some pressure for lawmakers: If they don’t reach agreement on extending soon-to-expire Bush-era tax cuts, nearly all their constituents back home will get big tax increases.

A typical family of four with a

LIGHTS FROM 1a on the East Coast.

The speedway has the ability to queue a tremendous amount of traffic, Smith noted, and will be able to accommodate five different themed areas and parking locations within the million-light display.

“This is going to be a big deal,” Perdue said. The governor said she even hoped there would be traffic jams associated with the holiday display, because it would be indicative of more business activity.

Perdue and Smith also touted the light display’s energy efficiency. Employing LED — light emitting diodes — technology, the park and village will use 90 percent less power. Over its 42-day run, the attraction will use less energy (12,000 kilowatt hours) than what 10 residential homes in North Carolina would pay for in a month’s power bill, the officials said.

“It is truly a green technology,” Smith said.

Thursday’s announcement was especially sweet for Mike Miller, president of Miller Davis Inc., who had pitched a similar idea last year for a holiday light display drive-through at the Rowan County-owned Summit Corporate Center.

He withdrew his proposal after meeting some resistance from Rowan County commissioners — especially Tina Hall — though

Members of the Baltimore County SWaT team arrive at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after a man shot and wounded a doctor Thursday. household income of $50,000 a year would have to pay $2,900 more in taxes in 2011, according to a new analysis by Deloitte Tax LLP, a tax consulting firm.

The same family making $100,000 a year would see its taxes rise by $4,500.

Wealthier families face even bigger tax hikes. A family of four making $500,000 a year would pay $10,800 more in taxes. The same family making $1 million a year would get a tax increase of $53,200.

The estimates are based on total household income, including wages, capital gains and qualified dividends. The estimated tax bills take into account typical deductions at each income level.

Democrats have been arguing for much of the past decade that tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 under former President George W. Bush provided a windfall for the wealthy. That’s true, but they also reduced taxes for the working poor, the middle class and just about everyone in between.

Republicans seek to unite with tea party candidates WASHINGTON (AP) — Can this political marriage survive?

More than a half dozen tea partybacked candidates have captured Republican Senate nominations, and now the GOP is trying to bring their rebel supporters’ enthusiasm into the fold.

Republicans have little choice but to at least put on a show of unity: Alienating the antiestablishment tea party could undercut GOP efforts to post big Senate gains, perhaps even win control outright.

Judging by how quickly the GOP establishment embraced tea party nominees after earlier primaries, it may not take long for them to consider insurgent Christine O’Donnell one of their own in Delaware. The state’s Senate primary was the freshest source of Republican division after O’Donnell’s stunning upset of nine-term Rep. Mike Castle. He hasn’t yet rallied behind her but others have, including once and

commissioners said then that Miller’s withdrawal caught them by surprise.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Miller said Thursday.

He noted the speedway, as a venue, was totally different than the county’s industrial park. The speedway’s light park and village will be structured differently and be many times bigger, Miller said.

“It just wasn’t meant to be up there,” Miller said of Rowan.

The drive-through Christmas attraction proposed for Rowan County would have been only a mile long, featuring 120 animated light displays and an ice skating rink.

Miller estimated that it would have generated $1.3 million in revenue for the county over a run from Nov. 25 to Jan. 3.

At the speedway, which will have nearly 500 light displays, Miller Davis will be using a bigger Christmas lighting company, Winterland Inc., one of the three largest in the country.

Winterland will “step it up a notch,” Miller said. Last September, he intended to use Midwest Display.

Miller complained last year that he and Midwest Display were met with “one obstacle after another,” including an exorbitant demand for liability coverage ($10 million); requests for proprietary financial information, “down to what our profit would be on one cup of hot cocoa”; and indications that if it were successful, the county would run the attraction in 2010, “thereby taking funds from a Rowan County tay-paying business.”

maybe future presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

And, after an initial curt reaction, Sen. John Cornyn’s committee to elect Senate Republicans made its support clear.

“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee — and I personally as the committee’s chairman — strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware,” said the Texas lawmaker. He also sent her $42,000.

Working-age poor at highest level since the 1960s WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of the working-age poor climbed to the highest level since the 1960s as the recession threw millions of people out of work last year, leaving one in seven Americans in poverty.

The overall poverty rate climbed to 14.3 percent, or 43.6 million people, the Census Bureau said in its annual report on the economic well-being of U.S. households. The report covers 2009, President Obama’s first year in office.

The poverty rate increased from 13.2 percent, or 39.8 million people, in 2008.

After the investigation came to a close, no charges were filed against the bus driver.

Thirty-five children were on the bus at the time of the accident, and all but one were residents of the apartment complex.

“These kids are traumatized,” Adams said. “You know they’ve got to be.

A call to Royal Oaks Elementary’s principal Rick Seaford was not returned.

the controversy in Rowan County, Smith approached Miller in January about a Christmas attraction for the speedway.

“Marcus said, ‘This has got to be the biggest and the best possible,’ ” Miller said.

Carl Ford, chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, attended Thursday’s announcement. He noted that commissioners actually never voted on the holiday light proposal for Summit Corporate Center because of Miller’s withdrawal, and he indicated Rowan would have been happy to have it.

Ford said he still sees Rowan County’s possibly benefiting from the speedway attraction, especially if it’s as big as outlined Thursday.

Robert Van Geons, executive director of RowanWorks Economic Development, said Thursday’s announcement was beneficial to Rowan in that Miller Davis Inc. is a local company. It will support and possibly create jobs for Miller Davis, he said.

Van Geons also predicted that as people come through the area while visiting the speedway, they could do business at Rowan hotels, restaurants, stores and tourist sites.

“There is some opportunity for us,” Van Geons said.

“We just have to promote the regional aspects.”

Last year, RowanWorks Economic Development was in support of Miller Davis’ holiday proposal for Summit Corporate Center.

N.C. Rep. Fred Steen attended the announcement Thursday in the decoratedfor-Christmas Speedway

Club. It’s a good regional project with a local company involved, Steen said.

“It sounds like they’ve really planned it out well,” Steen said. “I’m definitely going to be here with a car load.”

Speedway officials said the light attraction will create a “Christmas Corridor” running from Concord Mills and taking in dozens of dining, entertainment venues and hotels along Bruton Smith Boulevard.

Erection of the lighting displays will start as soon as October’s Bank of America race is completed, Smith said.

Some of the themed areas include a Patriot Alley, saluting U.S. troops; a Bethlehem village; NASCAR souvenir rigs for Christmas gifts; and other areas for children that include food, music, storytelling, rides and photographs with Santa Claus.

Pit road will become “Snow Flake Alley.”

Some of the bigger light displays will feature a 30-foot tall Statue of Liberty; an animated, 200-foot-wide candy cane manufacturing plant; a U.S. flag with animated fireworks; a giant toy store and the Old Lady who lived in a shoe.

Tickets will be available online at www.VisitCarolinaChristmas.com beginning in mid-October and also at the gate nightly for drive-up traffic.

Police seek suspect in downtown chase

East Spencer looking for sheet metal thief The East Spencer Police Department is looking for Larry Veredale Garrison, 54, of East Boundary Street in East Spencer, in connection with a felony larceny after police say he took sheet metal from a church construction site on Boundary Street and ran from police.

Garrison is still at large, with pending charges of felony larceny from a construction site and two counts of obstructing an officer.

On Wednesday, East Spencer police officers responded to the intersection of North Long and East Earnhardt streets to locate a truck loaded with the stolen sheet metal.

Police say Garrison was behind the wheel of the truck with the overload of sheet metal, which spilled into the road. Garrison was stopped by police, gave Cpl. Jon Helms a fictitious name, and told him he had permission to take the metal. Gar-

conducted the checkpoint for approximately 15 minutes, a white van approached the intersection on Boyden Road.

The van stopped momentarily and, as Officer R. Carlton approached, it accelerated away despite orders to stop.

Carlton and a back-up officer pursued the van within the Fulton Heights community, the western portion of the city, the Country Club area and northern areas.

Speeds averaged nearly 60 mph during the chase, which ended when the van stopped in the parking area of the Pine Hills apartment complex. The suspect fled into nearby woods.

Carlton was able to positively identify the suspect as Shankle, 28, whose last known address is 431 Willow Road in Salisbury.

Warrants have been obtained for Shankle’s arrest for felony speeding to elude arrest, driving while license revoked and second degree rison also told Helms he was a contractor and was demolishing a building, police say.

A witness confirmed the sheet metal was stolen.

Spencer Police Department and Rowan County Sherriff’s Office are assisting with the search.

Anyone with information is asked to contact East Spencer Police Department at 704-637-1660. Anonymous e-mails can be sent via the Crime Stoppers page at www.eastspencerpd. net. All stolen property has been returned to the owner.

Woman jailed after spitting on nurses A Kannapolis woman is in jail under a $1,000 secured bond after police say she spit on two nurses at Rowan Regional Medical Center.

According to the Salisbury Police Department, Jennifer Athena Bill, 25, of 1808 N. Cannon Blvd., refused to leave the hospital property after she was discharged from care.

Bill apparently spit on

trespassing since he was previously banned from entering the property of Salisbury Housing Authority.

A release from the Salisbury Police Department included this statement: “All incidents of this nature are closely and continuously monitored and scrutinized by police supervisory staff in order to ensure that the merits of making the apprehension are at no time outweighed by the risks of continuing the pursuit. This chase never entered our downtown or other very heavily congested areas.

The officers involved, and the supervisory staff, handled this situation in a very appropriate and professional manner.”

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Shankle is asked to call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-JAIL (5245). This call may be made anonymously. two emergency room nurses, and police were called.

She was transported to the magistrate’s office and arrested for simple assault and second-degree trespassing.

Puppy alerts woman after house catches on fire B Y S HELLEY S MITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A poke to the face by a puppy named Luna woke up 18-year-old Tereysha Torres, just in time to get herself, her brother and six puppies out of harm’s way when a fire struck their home Thursday afternoon at 140 Myers Place.

According to the Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office, the fire started when aluminum wiring in the ceiling over the kitchen caught on fire. The fire spread from the kitchen to the dining room, a bedroom and laundry room. Heavy smoke, heat and water damage was throughout the home.

The home belongs to Carmen Torres, a single mom, who lives there with her four children — one being only a

month old.

Torres said she left the house to take her baby, Soyner, to the hospital and soon got a phone call from Tereysha.

“She called me and said the house was burning,” Torres said.

Tereysha was sleeping on the floor in the living room with Luna by her side.

“She started poking me in the face with her paw,” Tereysha said. “I smelled smoke and woke up.”

Tereysha said she opened the double doors to the dining room and the kitchen was on fire.

Her brother, Chris, was playing video games.

“I heard a popping noise and came out, and saw my sister,” he said. “We grabbed all the dogs and went out-

side.”

Chris said he grabbed the garden hose from the front of the house and took it to the back, but the hose connection had already melted.

Torres, who has insurance but is unemployed, is receiving aid from the Red Cross — two nights in a hotel and some baby food and diapers — but needs a lot more.

“All of my baby clothes are gone,” she said. “I don’t know what we will do after two nights.”

Torres said that although she is now unemployed, for the three years prior to having a baby, she was working so much that she didn’t have time to make friends, and she does not have family in Salisbury or North Carolina.

Dignitaries speak Thursday at the dedication of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College biotechnology training facility, seen in the background, at the N.C. Research Campus.

BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — David Murdock said construction will resume at the N.C. Research Campus after the recession stalled development of the biotechnology complex.

Billionaire chairman of Dole Food Co., Murdock sounded optimistic Thursday at the dedication of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College biotech training facility, the only new construction on the campus since 2008.

“My desire extends very much further than what we have here,” Murdock said.

Developers hope to start construction of a medical office building “very soon,” Lynne Scott Safrit, president of Castle & Cooke North Carolina, told the Post.

And if the city of Kannapolis can sell stalled tax increment financing bonds, “then the Cabarrus Health Alliance building construction will begin,” Safrit said.

Murdock said he thought he had enough money to build everything he envisioned for the campus but underestimated the depths of the recession.

His personal finances have improved, he said, and the economy is in better shape than people realize.

Murdock originally planned mixed-use development and dozens of buildings on a $1.5 billion, 350-acre campus. Counting the new 62,332-square-foot RCCC facility, he has constructed five buildings and a parking deck.

N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdue said the Research Campus will become the premiere scientific institute for health and nutrition in the world.

Calling the $26 million RCCC

RCCC graduates will be ready to join Research Campus scientists who are working to find a cure for cancer, combat other diseases and grow healthier foods, she said.

The building opened Aug. 16. About 160 students are enrolled in RCCC’s associate degree program in biotechnology.

N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell (R-Cabarrus) recalled the building’s “trials and travails,” as Castle & Cooke worked for months to obtain a construction loan during the recession.

RCCC’s presence on campus brings Murdock’s vision “home to this community,” David Murdock, founder of the N.C. Research Campus, speaks with Hartsell said.

Byars indicted on child abuse charges Juanita Loraine Byars, 72, was recently indicted on four child abuse charges, including two felony charges of indecent liberties with a child.

Byars was originally charged Aug. 5 after authorities say she forced a 7-year-old boy to perform sex acts and allowed him to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol at her 3011 Airport Road home. She was placed in the Rowan County jail under an $80,000 secured bond.

According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the mother of the BYARS 7-year-old boy, neighbors of Byars, allowed him to stay overnight with Byars, but he came home in the middle of the night and was very distraught.

The mother called 911, and when officers arrived, they spoke with the boy and visited Byars.

When asked about the allegations, authorities say Byars denied the allegations, and was intoxicated.

Several weeks later on Aug. 25, authorities say Byars, who was out on bond, threatened to kill the 7-year-old and his mother, and threw a brick at them.

She was charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and intimidating or interfering with a witness. She was given a $20,000 secured bond, and has since been released.

Woman indicted in kidnapping after 82-year-old went missing A grand jury has indicted a woman on charges of second-degree kidnapping and exploitation of the elderly in an August case where an 82-year-old Mooresville Road woman went missing for 16 hours.

Karen Lynn Staton, 42, of 470 Paige Drive, was also indicted this week on a charge of being a habitual felon.

Authorities say Staton dropped Vivian Haataja Bradshaw off near her home around midnight Aug. 17.

She later told the investigators she found Bradshaw at Walmart.

Bradshaw had been missing STATON since early that morning. A neighbor had reported seeing Bradshaw in her driveway near a car, but didn’t see whether she got into the car when it left.

Deputies returned to the Mooresville Road home when someone reported seeing her dropped off by

Justin Upchurch and Clay teeter from Vulcan Materials put down stone on a walking exercise path at Rockwell Elementary as Matthew Medlin mans the Bobcat.

VOLUNTEERS FROM 1a Cornelius Construction, based in Rockwell, did much of the prep work at more than 15 sites.

Brandon and his father, Charles, went to the sites Monday and Tuesday to grade and deliver materials.

“We rode around all yesterday,” Brandon said.

They also worked this summer to map out the design of many of the projects.

“We started in March on the schematics,” Brandon said.

He was the site manager at China Grove Middle, where volunteers built an amphitheater on the side of the school after the assistant principal requested it.

“It’s fun. I enjoy it. It’s nice to work with people here just to serve,” he said.

Martin E. Hannah is one of those volunteers. It was his first time at Day of Caring. He heard about it from Brandon Cornelius, who attends the same church, Nazareth Community Church.

The seventh-grade all boys chorus had the idea to thank the volunteers in song.

Teacher Becky Morris led the students and afterward thanked each volunteer.

“The kids have been thanking us all day. It makes it worthwhile,” Hannah said.

Hannah is unemployed and says all people seeking unemployment checks should be required to volunteer their time.

Early Thursday morning, a group of volunteers unloaded a truck filled with supplies from Wachovia that went to the Educators’ Express at East Rowan High School.

Educators’ Express is a free resource store for Rowan County school teachers to shop for supplies. Rowan Partners for Education coordinates regular volunteers and donated items from the community.

“It’s a wonderful way to let teachers know the community cares,” said Louise Wooten, executive director.

The items, which included memo pads and other office supplies, came from the Wachovia distribution center in Charlotte, she said.

Teachers can shop three times a year.

There were half a dozen volunteers from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

“We are very thankful to be able to be a part of the United Way Day of Caring,” said the Rev. Rick Williams, vicar at the church.

He said it’s important for people to be involved in the community.

“It’s part of living out our faith,” Williams said.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church volunteers Sally Bradley and Katie Coffield work with the Rev. Rick Williams unloading donated materials from Wachovia for the Educators’ Express. Judith Williams is in the truck getting out supplies for teachers.

allen Payne finishes the concrete curb at Nazareth Children’s Home. He is a volunteer from Chandler Concrete.

The work at Nazareth Children’s Home was in the hands of two — Bob Cartner and Allen Payne.

Chandler Concrete and Building Supply provided the concrete and the men set it.

“This was a small project.

We placed the form in this morning. We will stay with it as it hardens,” Cartner said.

The two placed a concrete barrier in front of the activity center to contain the current landscaped area as well as rebuilt steps and a landing at the back of the cafeteria.

“This is a very worthwhile thing that the United Way is doing,” Cartner said.

There were two projects going on at Rockwell Elementary, one a gravel walking trail in front of the school and several fitness areas, including monkey bars and parallel bars.

Volunteers from Performance Fibers and Vulcan Materials worked for much of the day.

“Vulcan Materials would like to thank Rockwell Elementary for this opportunity,” Justin Upchurch said.

There were about 20 volunteers at this project site, said Mary Smith of Performance Fibers.

Charlie Christmas puts a coat of primer on bars for a fitness area going up at China Grove Elementary in memory of former student, Caleigh tutherow, who died last year.

Christmas is a volunteer from Milford Hills Baptist Church.

“It’s really a worthwhile community effort,” Smith said.

Principal Laura Kerr said the school is so appreciative of the work.

Denise Hallett of Vulcan Materials provided this photo of kindergartners at Rockwell Elementary trying out the gravel walking trail completed thursday.

The kindergarten class was the first to walk on the trail, she said.

“It makes it better when the kids come out,” said Darrell Troutman of Vulcan.

the boys seventh-grade chorus at China Grove Middle School invited United Way Day of Caring volunteers in as they performed ‘Feeling Good.’

Becky Morris is their teacher. Volunteers were from the Rowan County Health Department, Charles Cornelius Construction Co., Nazareth Children’s Home Church and the Caterpillar Co. in Charlotte.

FROM 1a lapsed into the basement. Firefighters on the sidewalk said they could feel it shaking underneath their feet. No firefighters were injured.

The Red Cross was to help the Pruitt family.

More than 11 departments from Rowan County responded, including the Rowan County Rescue Squad. Jerusalem Fire Department came from Davie County to cover Franklin’s district, and Shepherds Fire Department came from Iredell County to cover another district. Landis Fire Department covered Locke’s district.

The Regency Road fire was the second fire in a three-hour period for Cleveland, Salisbury, Locke and Franklin fire departments Thursday. A fire at 140 Myers Place was gutted by flames earlier.

A separate late-night fire brought out firefighters to 107 East Brook Circle just before midnight. The first crews on the scene reported light smoke showing, but the kitchen fire was quickly brought under control.

Kerr said the fitness area and walking trail will also be for the community, not just the school.

a Salisbury Fire Department ladder truck sprays water on the house fire at 165 Regency Road. the fire started in the garage area and quickly spread to the attic.

Robert Douglas Earnhardt, charged with the Sept. 17, 2009, murder of Billy Tommy Elmore, was recently given bonds for several charges related to the 2009 incident.

Earnhardt, whose bond hearing was delayed because of the possibility of it being a capital case and the changing of attorneys, was given a $475,000 secured bond for firstdegree murder. He was also given a $25,000 secured bond for assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury for allegedly shooting a second victim, Tiffany Marie Barbee.

According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Elmore was found dead at 165 Leisure Lane when officers responded to a call of shots being fired. Barbee had left the scene and driven to Tamarac Marina to call police after suffering a gunshot wound.

Authorities said Elmore was Earnhardt’s stepfather, and that Elmore’s wife, Patty Kesler Earnhardt Elmore, had taken out a protective order the day before the shooting, but it had not been served.

CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION DAY

Close votes, 223 years ago Sifting political tea leaves

week after marking the anniversary of the heinous attacks of 9/11, we commemorate another event that resounded around the world and changed history, but in a far different manner.

Today marks the 223rd anniversary of the birth of our Constitution. On Sept. 17, 1787, 42 members of the Constitutional Convention adopted the final draft of the document many consider the greatest expression of statesmanship ever conceived. Or, to put it in more mundane terms, it’s the owner’s manual for the republic.

In retrospect, given our tendency to mythologize history and the nation’s founders, it’s tempting to view that sweltering summer in Philadelphia as a less contentious era than the one in which we live.

The founders were towering figures of virtue and wisdom, after all, and America was a smaller nation, both in land mass and population, with a more homogenous citizenry. Our modern political parties had yet to emerge, and the fears and suspicions of the populace were not kept aboil by political talk shows, a 24-7 news cycle and gossipmongering e-mails.

Even in those days of frilled shirts and quill pens, however, the Constitution’s birth pains were severe and prolonged. Arguments flared over what the document meant — or should mean. The Sept. 17 signing merely set the stage for months of turmoil as individual states debated ratification. One group of founders advocated for ratification through the Federalist Papers, while others were adamantly opposed, believing the document gave too much power to a central government while failing to recognize the natural rights of individuals. North Carolina was among the skeptics. Opposition was strong in this state, yet not as vitriolic as in Rhode Island, where armed anti-federalist protesters marched on Providence.

Eventually, most — though not all — of the objections were mollified by promises of a Bill of Rights. Even then, some of the votes in state conventions were nail-biters. In Massachusetts, the margin of approval was 187168. New Hampshire, the ninth state to ratify, secured the Constitution’s enactment by a vote of 57-47. In Virginia, the margin of approval was also a mere 10 votes, 89-79, while ratification squeaked by 30-27 in New York and 34-32 in the hotbed of Rhode Island.

North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify, on Nov. 21, 1789, by a vote of 194-77.

What if either side in this grand experiment had rejected compromise? What if the convention of 1787 had deteriorated into an “us” versus “them” standoff?

Emotions ran hot 223 years ago, as they often have since. Yet at the end of the day, the constitutionalists prevailed, and those who had once fought against passage recognized the government’s legitimacy. In today’s political climate, some of those founders might well be vilified as spineless compromisers, patriots-in-name-only, turncoats or worse. But history hails them for what they truly were: statesmen and heroes.

A

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.

— James Reston

Moderately confused

Finally, a real conservative revolution orty-four years ago, Bob Dylan released an album with the incendiary title “While the Establishment Burns.” That could serve as a metaphor for what seems to be happening to the Washington establishment in general and the Republican Party establishment in particular.

The Tea Party Express roared through several primary elections last Tuesday, shaking the foundations of the Republican and media establishments. In a remarkable exchange on Sean Hannity's Fox show, Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s “architect” within the political establishment, said that Delaware Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell can’t win in November. He then gave the Democrats enough negative sound bites about O’Donnell for them to use in their TV ads for far-left CAL Democratic Senate candidate THOMAS Chris Coons.

The days when it was more important to preserve party over principles, as O’Donnell put it in an election night interview with CNN, may be coming to an end. Conservatives are tired of being taken for granted and their agenda ignored by the Republican establishment, especially when those they vote for get in power and too often vote with Democrats. If ever there was a Republican in name only, it is Rep. Mike Castle, a 40-year incumbent whom O’Donnell defeated. Tea Partiers think their candidates have convictions that matter to them and they are refusing to put party first.

The full force of the Washington and media establishments will now be brought to bear on O’Donnell and other Republicans identified as Tea Party candidates or just strong conservatives. “Fringe” and “extreme” are just some of the labels that are already being applied to them. They will also be called “ignorant wing nuts,” and in O’Donnell’s case loaded with “too much baggage.” Who is free of baggage, including several current and former members of Congress?

Conservative candidates should ignore it all and tell voters: “You elected this president and this Congress to bring change to Washington.

F

They haven’t, so we need to change them if we truly want to transform the country and return it to its founding principles, among which are living within our means.”

This nation needs an occasional turnover, even revolution, not only to “throw the bums out,” but also to reboot the system and remind ourselves of what America was designed to be and what we have instead become. The establishment won’t go quietly because they have large amounts of turf to protect, so they must be dislodged, evicted, even burned out in a metaphorical sense.

The big media treated the anti-establishment rebellion of the ’60s as something good.

They will treat this attempt to overthrow the establishment as something bad, mainly because they are now the establishment. When Dylan sang, “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” the pot-smoking, free love, anti-establishment hippies sang with him. If overcoming the establishment then was a great idea (it wasn’t in view of what and who replaced it), overcoming today's establishment is a better one.

The establishment hates people it can’t control and who are not beholden to those who run it. Conservative candidates who are scoring well understand this is a contest between the Washington establishment and the rest of the country. The establishment has one set of interests and the country has another. The conservatives are beholden to the people. The establishment is beholden only to itself and those it chooses to admit to the inside-the-beltway inner circle.

Conservatives can now sing Dylan’s lyrics.

This verse especially resonates: Come senators, congressmen please heed the call.

Don’t stand in the doorway; don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'.

To put it perhaps less elegantly: step aside establishment, or conservatives will step right over you.

Republicans on the road to disaster ith Tea Party-, Sarah Palin- and Jim DeMint-backed candidates winning Republican primaries all over the country, it’s hard not to conclude that the GOP is committing suicide.

Or, as one GOP insider put it Wednesday, “we’re going to hell in a tea caddy.”

In the short term, victories by former fringe candidates Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada diminish — but do not eliminate — GOP chances of taking control of the Senate in November.

But, worse, the growing strength of right-wing ideologues threatens to shove the GOP into territory occupied by Democrats: out of the mainstream of U.S. opinion.

MORTON And, even worse than that, a KONDRACKE harder-right GOP contingent in the House and Senate — whether in the majority or not — will make it harder to solve any of America’s huge problems, which will require compromise with President Barack Obama.

Right now, the “establishment” Republicans leading the GOP in Congress near-automatically oppose every important Obama initiative.

With hard-liners such as Joe Miller (Alaska), Mike Lee (Utah), Ken Buck (Colo.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Rand Paul (Ky.) and former Rep. Pat Toomey (Pa.) bolstering right-wing ranks led

by Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.), agreement on taxes, budgets, entitlement and immigration reform — even education reform — may well become impossible.

It’s even conceivable that Republicans could repeat the disastrous 1995 stunt of shutting down the government — perhaps this time over health care funding — which helped President Bill Clinton recover politically and win re-election in 1996.

The perpetrator of that faux pas, thenSpeaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., shows every sign of being so caught up in the right-wing ascendancy that he’s gone extremist in his bid to be the 2012 GOP presidential nominee.

To top off calling Supreme Court nominee (now Justice) Sonia Sotomayor a racist, likening Islam to Nazism and raising the specter of a “secular-socialist” takeover of America, Gin-

W

grich has endorsed the idea that Obama is, at bottom, a Kenyan anti-colonialist who hates western culture.

Among other GOP presidential candidates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is already repeating Mitt Romney’s 2008 mistake of going nativist to appeal to the right.

To be sure, not all tea party-backed candidates are so “out there,” but Rush Limbaugh-inspired vilification of Obama is running deep in the party.

Calling him “alien” is now respectable, and the just-nominated GOP candidate for New York governor has distributed e-mails depicting Obama and the first lady as a pimp and prostitute.

Warning to the GOP: While the latest Quinnipiac University poll shows that Obama’s approval rating is 44 percent, an all-time low, 55 percent regard him as “honest and trustworthy” and 59 percent say he has “strong leadership qualities.”

Obama’s “favorable” rating is down to 47 percent, but Palin’s is 31 percent and the tea party’s is 30 percent. Only 12 percent of Americans say they belong to the movement.

Approval of the Democratic Party’s performance in Congress is down to 30 percent — 19 percent among independent voters.

But approval of Republicans in Congress is 29 percent overall and 23 percent among independents.

Democrats have sunk so low since 2006 and 2008 because they have gone too far left, proposing big-government solutions to every problem and swelling the national debt.

A Gallup poll in June showed that 49 percent of voters thought the Democratic Party “too liberal,” while 38 percent thought it “just right.”

Forty percent thought the GOP “too conservative” and 41 percent “just right.”

What’s going to happen when it sinks in with the public that Republicans want to make all of President George W. Bush’s tax cuts permanent, adding $3.9 trillion to the national debt? It may not hurt them in this election, but eventually, it will.

The GOP is heading out of the mainstream.

The disastrous examples of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and George McGovern in 1972 should be instructive.

Regarding the Sept. 15 commentary by Rev. Gregory Yeager (“The Gospel of faith, hope and love endures”): I have been a Bible Believing Lutheran all my life.

Read I Corinthians 6: 9-11 and Romans 1: 18-32 and just tell me if you don’t accept that as God’s Holy Word. Of course, you may say that “just love God and one another” and that’s all we need.

Have you ever heard of repentance for our sins?

Dr. James Crumley, former National Bishop of the Lutheran Church in America, spoke at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in South Carolina, on Jan. 9, in reference to the action of the ELCA Synod Assembly to ordain homosexuals and said, “On what basis did the Church make such a decision? Where in Scripture is there permission or mandate for such a change?”

Dr. C.D. Michael McDaniel, former bishop of the North Carolina Lutheran Synod in his reflections of the last 40 years of the ELCA, stated, “To put human sexual gratification above the commandments of God and the clear teaching of Scripture is simply unthinkable, yet with no ELCA leader to say a clear ‘NO,’ there is a continuing push for the ordination of homosexuals and the blessing of homosexual liaisons, as if they were marriages.” He further states, “The culprit, of course, is Satan, for still today he is sarcastically asking, as he did in the Garden, “did God say ...?” (Genesis 3:l) Bless his soul, he has now experienced the resurrection and doesn’t grieve about the actions of the ELCA. Pastor Yeager, I noticed on the Internet that your average attendance at St. Mark Lutheran Church in China Grove has declined from 120 in 1990 to 74 in 2009. If other Lutheran pastors don’t stand up for the Holy Word, it will only get worse.

— Carolyn McLaughlin China Grove

Ready to take back America I sincerely hope that every Rowan County Citizen living outside the city limits votes in November and remembers that Democratic commissioner candidate Bill Burgin has publicly stated he supports forced annexation.

But then, I did say Democratic candidate. It’s more of what the liberals stand for — forcing their views on people, which the majority oppose.

And Cody Yasinsac, where have you been sleeping the past four years, under the Democratic-controlled Congress, and the past two years under Obama? Contrary to what you wrote, Obama has not proven he is a naturalborn American. He has not remotely proven that he even has Christian views, as he does not regularly attend church in DC. And he tells the world that we are not a Christian nation.

The Dumbocrats have basically pushed us toward a depression with their insane spending, which our greatgreat-grandchildren will be trying to pay back.

And since it is evident that you have absolutely no idea what the Tea Party movement is all about, why not attend the next Tea Party meeting at Blue Bay Restaurant, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. You may actually learn something about this great nation.

Dumbocrats and Republicans both need to understand that we are going to take this country back.

SALISBURY’S JOY LOEBLEIN

Salisbury’s girls tennis team, the clear-cut 5 favorite to win Asheville Salisbury 4 another 2A title, came up short in a bid to beat another 3A power.

Asheville, ranked No. 3 in 3A, visited Salisbury on Thursday and left with a 5-4 win. The Hornets won 9-0 against second-ranked Cardinal Gibbons on Aug. 21 and claimed a 6-3 victory against No. 1 Charlotte Catholic, the defending 3A champion, four days later.

“I think Asheville and Charlotte Catholic are a lot alike,” top-seeded

Salisbury player Joy Loeblein said.

“In the Catholic match it could have gone either way, just as this match could have gone either way.

“It was so close. It was just a different day, I guess.”

Madeline Hoskins, Anna HOSKINS Page and Anna Flynn gave Salisbury (14-2) wins at the bottom half of the singles order. Asheville (8-0) swept the top three spots.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER

Friday Night Blackwell recalls his part in rivalry orth Rowan plays at Salisbury’s Ludwig Stadium tonight, and that’s always the best time to catch up with an exCavalier.

The rivalry between the neighbors is still warm, although it may not burn quite as hot as it MIKE did in 1985 LONDON when Brian Blackwell starred on both lines for North. He was All-CCC at center and AllRowan County at defensive tackle.

“I don’t think Salisbury and North ever saw eye-toeye when I was playing,” Blackwell said. “But I do talk to some Salisbury people now. I got to know Bryan Withers and Robbie Linder, and we’re good friends.”

Blackwell’s athletic days started early. He signed up for Gray-Y ball. Since he was the biggest kid around, he played up a level higher than his age. Kent Ryan, who’s still working with North’s YFL and middle school youngsters, was Blackwell’s first coach.

Baseball was at least as important to Blackwell as football. He got his start in Little League at the 8th Street Ballpark in Spencer.

“We had guys a few years older to look up to when we were growing up — Jeff Holshouser, especially,” Blackwell said.

West Rowan players and coaches enter their home stadium before facing Salisbury last Friday. The Falcons won 28-0.

Lights, camera, action at West Roaming the county getting ready for tonight ... hen Salisbury visited West Rowan last week, there seemed to be as many media members in Falcon Stadium as fans.

Five television stations.

Two radio stations. A newspaper.

Photographers everywhere. You expected ESPN GameDay to have a RONNIE table.

GALLAGHER It’s not surprising. That’s the life of a two-time state champion that has won 34 straight games.

trip down Highway 801 to West Rowan, you expect plenty of wide-eyed Blue Devils enduring a case of the butterflies.

Many are holdovers from an 0-11 season and, despite standing 3-0, they know who’s waiting: the big, bad blue of West Rowan.

One person who isn’t in awe of a big-time landscape is Mooresville’s first-year CAPPS coach Hal Capps.

Been there. Done that.

Capps, a former Catawba offensive linemen, took over the Mooresville program back in January. He came over from Western Ala-

Four straight state title games?

Think about that for a minute.

Even West coach Scott Young shook his head and said, “That’s remarkable.”

Capps knows what Young is feeling. He was engulfed by the hoopla in 2007.

“It’s an enjoyable time,” said Capps, who was 168-69 in 18 season at Western Alamance. “I know Scott’s enjoying it. He does a great job. He’s getting all the accolades, and he deserves it.”

Capps also knows how a community will embrace a winning high school football team.

“People want to surround themselves with winners,” Capps said. “They want to get you out there in the public eye. It’s a lot of excitement.”

North’s 1982 football team, quarterbacked by Holshouser, set the bar high for the program with an 11-1 record. A future dropoff was anticipated because Blackwell’s class took its lumps in BLACKWELL middle school.

“We won twice in two seasons,” Blackwell said.

“We beat Hartsell, one of the Cabarrus schools, in the seventh grade, and we beat Hartsell again in eighth grade. That was it.”

Blackwell’s group started to turn it around when they were sophomores, even with two talented teammates — Deric Sims and Jimmy Kesler — moving up early to North’s varsity.

“A lot of us just decided we were going to do something about the losing,” Blackwell said. “We were determined it wasn’t going to be the way it had been in middle school. We went 9-1 on the jayvees.”

North was 6-4 during Blackwell’s junior year, and the Cavaliers moved into the new Central Carolina Conference his senior year. Opponents included three bitter rivals. Besides Salisbury, Lexington and Thomasville were in the league.

Common Sense rushes to defense of memorable menaces s West Rowan’s defense really allowing only 1.75 points per game?

Fans are generally skeptical about the ability of sportswriters to add, subtract, multiply and divide, much less deal with fractions and decimals, but that stat is accurate.

Pulling out our calculators, when we divide 7 (points allowed) by 4 (games played), we get 1.75.

Every time.

Northwest Cabarrus scored against West. Maybe the Trojans

I

should be ranked second in 3A. West’s defense doesn’t include 11 household names, although Emmanuel Gbunblee, Domonique Noble, Trey Mashore, Quentin Sifford and Eric Cowan are guys every serious fan already should know about. Other Falcons are introducing themselves each Friday.

If you’re wondering if anyone’s ever put up defensive numbers like this, the answer is yes, although you have to take the time machine back to 1940.

Salisbury’s J.C. Price High School won the state championship for black schools that year while allowing zero points per game. The defense was tough. The math was easy.

No calculators were necessary.

Common Sense wasn’t there to see it. People who were there swear on stacks of bibles that no one crossed midfield against coach S.W. “Prof” Lancaster’s Red Devils.

As far as more recent teams, we can look it up.

The school record at West is the

8.8 points a game allowed by the 1967 Falcons, who went 8-1-1. West only shut out one opponent, but it held six to a single TD. Boyden, what the historic school on Lincolnton Road was known as before it became Salisbury in 1971, boasted rugged teams during the Great Depression. In 1933, coach Gordon Kirkland’s Yellow Jackets allowed 3.3 points a game and shut out six of nine regular-season foes.

Carson volleyball beats West Iredell From staff reports

Carson’s volleyball team recorded its biggest victory of the season on Thursday by winning at West Iredell.

Carson (13-3, 5-1) took over second place in the NPC with a 2025, 28-26, 25-20, 27-25 victory.

The teams met for the first time since West Iredell beat Carson in the NPC tournament championship game last fall.

Carson’s jayvees lost to the Warriors in two games.

 Prep cross country East Rowan’s boys posted a score of 20 and won an invitational cross country meet with Carson (51) and Gray Stone (65) on Thursday at Albemarle’s Morehead Park.

East’s Cole Honeycutt was the individual winner in 18:28.

Eli Walton was (18:35), HONEYCUTT third Mark Almeida fourth, Brad Oden fifth, and Joseph Furtado seventh.

Jacob Fink finished sixth to pace the Cougars. Chase Johnson (8th), Matt Hill (11th), Nathan McMasters (12th) and Nick Thornton (14th) rounded out Carson’s top five.

Gray Stone’s Harrison Latimer finished second in 18:32.  Gray Stone won the girls meet with a score of 20 to top Carson (42) and East (61).

Madison Rusher won at No. 1 singles for the Falcons. Rusher and Dorothy Mauldin teamed for a doubles victory.

 Jayvee football Salisbury’s jayvees beat North Rowan 25-12 at Eagle Stadium on Thursday night.

North struck first with an interception return for a TD, but Salisbury’s Justin Ruffin returned the kickoff 82 yards to score, and Clint Comadoll’s PAT gave the Hornets a 7-6 lead.

The Hornets took advantage of the roughing penalty on the PAT that was assessed on the kickoff and attempted an onside kick. The Hornets recovered, and Brian Bauk passed 12 yards to Ruffin for a 13-6 halftime lead.

Bauk broke a 44-yard option run to make it 19-6.

North QB Michael Connor scored to pull the Cavs within 1912, but Bauk closed the scoring with a 26-yard TD run.

C.J. Ellis had the other pick.  A.L. Brown’s jayvees won a wild one against Kings Mountain 29-22, batting down a hail Mary in the end zone on the final play.

Brown led 29-8 going to the fourth quarter and was able to hang on.

Brown center Caleb Spry scored a two-point conversion on a busted play that created disenchantment with the officiating on the Kings Mountain sideline.

Flags flew, and hats flew after all the flags were exhausted.

SALISBURY POST

Twins extend big lead Associated Press

CHICAGO — Delmon Young hit his 18th homer, Carl Pavano got his 17th win and the Minnesota Twins beat the fading Chicago White Sox 8-5 on Thursday night to complete the threegame sweep.

Paul Konerko hit a solo homer in the third against Pavano (17-11) after being drilled in the face by a pitch in the first inning. A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez also went deep, but the Twins walked away with their 11th win in 12 games.

Minnesota went 13-5 against the White Sox this season and lead them by nine in the AL Central with 16 games to play as it tries to lock down its sixth division title in 10 years.

Young hit a two-run homer off Mark Buehrle (12-11) in the fifth to make it 6-2.

Matt Capps worked the ninth for his 39th save overall and 13th in 15 chances since the Twins acquired him from Washington.

Buehrle surrendered six runs and eight hits in five innings. He has not won since beating Minnesota on Aug. 19.

Pavano wasn’t much better but moved within one win of the career high he set with Florida in 2004. He yielded five runs and eight hits in five-plus innings.

Indians 3, Angels 2 (11) CLEVELAND — Trevor Crowe scored from third base on a two-out error by third baseman Alberto Callaspo, giving the Indians the victory.

Crowe doubled with one out in the 11th off Bobby Cassevah (0-1) and went to third on Drew Sutton’s groundout.

Pinch-hitter Shelley Duncan then nubbed a ball that dropped onto the infield grass. Callaspo cut in front of shortstop Brandon Wood to field the ball, which slipped away from him as he went to make the throw.

Rafael Perez (5-1), Cleveland’s sixth pitcher, worked the 11th for the win.

National League ST. LOUIS — Jake Westbrook pitched eight effective innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 4-0 on Thursday night in the opener of a key four-game series.

Albert Pujols hit a runscoring double in the Cardinals’ four-run sixth inning, snapping an 0-for-9 skid, and Yadier Molina added a tworun single.

St. Louis snapped a threegame skid and moved within seven of NL Central-leading Cincinnati, which lost 31 to Arizona. The Cardinals have 17 games left on their schedule.

Diamondbacks 3, Reds 1 CINCINNATI — Rodrigo Lopez held the NL’s top offense in check for seven innings, getting his first win in more than two months, and Arizona slowed Cincinnati’s playoff push.

The NL Central leaders went 4-3 on a homestand against the league’s two worst clubs — Pittsburgh and Arizona — to keep control of the division.

Lopez (6-14) gave up one run and eight hits while winning for the first time since July 8.

Juan Gutierrez pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 12 tries.

Mets 6, Pirates 2 NEW YORK— Mike Pelfrey earned his 15th win, pitching seven strong innings and hitting a tiebreaking single to help the Mets finish a four-game sweep.

Slumping rookie Lucas Duda had a two-run double and the Mets rallied for their first four-game sweep since June 2006 at Arizona.

Angel Pagan added three hits, two RBIs and an outstanding catch in center field.

New York (74-73) has won seven of nine to move over .500 for the first time since Aug. 24.

Pelfrey (15-9) allowed two runs and six hits.

Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) pitched a scoreless ninth for the Mets.

Panthers running on empty

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Maybe it was because they faced an unfamiliar defense. Perhaps it was the eight men in the box that dared them to pass. Falling behind by a couple of touchdowns didn’t help, either.

Whatever the reasons, the Carolina Panthers failed to accomplish in Week 1’s seasonopening loss to the New York Giants what they’re built to do: run the football.

While the Panthers are trying to downplay it, it’s an issue drawing attention as they prepare for Sunday’s home opener against Tampa Bay, an opponent on the wrong end of many of Carolina’s top rushing highlights.

“I’m not too freaked out about it at this point,” coach John Fox said.

That’s been the central theme this week after the Panthers, who ranked third in the NFL in rushing last season, managed just 89 yards in Sunday’s 31-18 loss. It was nothing like the success DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart enjoyed a year ago when they became the first set of NFL teammates to each rush for 1,100 yards.

Williams had 62 yards on 16 carries, but had little success following a 29-yard run in the first quarter. Stewart, who rushed for a franchise-record 206 yards against the Giants late last season, had just five carries for 12 yards after missing the preseason following Achilles’ tendon surgery.

Williams took issue this week with a question about Carolina’s

running woes, pointing out the Panthers’ respectable 3.7 yards per carry. Williams averaged 3.9 yards.

“Is that not good?” he asked.

But Carolina never established the run, even early as Carolina took a halftime lead. With Matt Moore struggling at quarterback, the Panthers managed just one touchdown. The offense failed to produce any points in the second half.

“In this league, knowing much about football, sometimes the defense can stack the box and make the running game pretty hard going,” Fox said. “It’s not a mystery to us. But in a first game there are things that you haven’t seen, in particularly when you have a new defensive coordinator, that sometimes aren’t as easy to expect and whatnot when you don’t have a real book on all the things they’ve done.”

First-year Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, a Gastonia native, had some wrinkles on defense Carolina didn’t expect.

Fox also argued that once the Giants took a 31-16 lead early in the fourth quarter, they had to pass.

“Sometimes in the fourth quarter down 15 points, ripping off a 4-yard run is not really conducive to trying to win the game,” Fox said.

But that would have worked just fine when they faced a firstand-goal from the 4 with 8:53 left.

The Panthers instead called three straight passing plays, with Moore’s last attempt picked off in the end zone by Terrell Thomas.

“I think our biggest downfall in the second half is that we did-

n’t play consistent,” Williams said.

The Panthers also were a little unfamiliar with everyone.

Right tackle Jeff Otah remained sidelined with the knee injury, with Geoff Schwartz starting in his place. While Stewart and receiver Steve Smith played, they sat out all four preseason games.

“I guess you could say the consistency wasn’t there based on the fact that maybe Matt Moore didn’t have the opportunity to throw Steve Smith passes in the preseason or in training camp,” Williams said. “He still handed the ball off the same.

If you’re looking for excuses you can find them, but we don’t accept those. We were just inconsistent in making our plays.”

Maybe the Buccaneers will be the cure. They have been in the past.

In their final meeting in the 2008 season, Williams rushed for 186 yards, Stewart 115 and they combined for four touchdowns in a Monday night win.

In Week 5 last year, the Panthers won 28-21 behind 152 yards from Williams and 110 from Stewart, who combined for three TDs. In the second matchup, Stewart rushed for 120 yards and a score while Williams was sidelined with an injury in a 16-6 Carolina victory.

“They set the benchmark pretty much in the league when it comes to running the football,” Bucs defensive tackle Ryan Sims said.

The Panthers can only hope that smashmouth football returns as Carolina seeks to avoid a second consecutive 0-2 start.

Moore expected to start Sunday

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore will likely start Sunday against Tampa Bay after practicing for a second straight day following a concussion.

Moore fully participated in Thursday’s workout after being listed as limited a day earlier.

Coach John Fox said Moore has been medically cleared to play and, barring anything unforeseen, will start against the Buccaneers in Carolina’s home opener.

“I feel good. That’s where we’re at,” Moore said. “I’m planning and preparing (to start). If something changes, so be it.”

Moore was knocked out of Sunday’s 31-18 loss to the New York Giants after taking two hits late in the fourth quarter. But a

day later Fox said Moore felt “way better” and he passed a series of tests that allowed him to practice Wednesday.

Fox, always secretive with injuries, appeared confident Moore will start and acknowledged doctors have cleared him.

“Medically, yes,” Fox said. “I go ‘day to day’ because my experience has been you never know with any injury, not just concussions.”

Fox has no plans yet to turn to rookie Jimmy Clausen despite Moore’s struggles on Sunday.

Moore threw three interceptions — all in the end zone — and lost a fumble. Clausen, the 48th overall pick in the draft, relieved Moore late in the game and threw two incomplete passes.

“That game is gone and we get 16 chances,” Moore said. “We just need to make sure it doesn’t

happen anymore.”

The Panthers added a key player to the injury report on Thursday. Starting cornerback Chris Gamble was listed as limited with a sore ankle.

Right tackle Jeff Otah (knee) and defensive tackle Louis Leonard (elbow) missed practice. Special teams player Charly Martin, who left Sunday’s game with a concussion, sat out Thursday with a hamstring injury.

Defensive end Tyler Brayton (ankle) and receiver Brandon LaFell (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis. LaFell later declared, “I’m playing. I’ll be out there.”

Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay will be televised locally after the Panthers sold the remaining tickets before Thursday afternoon’s deadline.

Former UNC player faces drug charges Associated Press

ATLANTA — The former player linked to the suspension of Georgia receiver A.J. Green faces a felony drug charge from an arrest during a traffic stop in Georgia last year.

Chris Hawkins, 28, is charged with felony trafficking of cocaine and misdemeanor marijuana possession stemming from the April 2009 incident. The former North Carolina and Marshall defensive back, who bought the jersey in a transaction that led to Green’s four-game NCAA suspension, is due in court on the drug charges next month.

Green has missed two games for selling an Independence Bowl jersey for $1,000, and the NCAA ruled Hawkins qualified as an agent. The school is appealing the ruling and an NCAA committee is set to hear the case today.

Page Pate, an Atlanta-based attorney who is representing Hawkins in the drug case, said Hawkins “has never seen himself as an agent.”

In an interview with ESPN.com, Hawkins said he bought the jersey as a collector.

According to a report from the Georgia State Patrol, authorities stopped Hawkins for not wearing a seat belt while driving a U-haul truck filled with furniture on Interstate 20 near Madison, Ga. A drug-sniffing dog led authorities to 96 grams of crack cocaine wrapped in tape, peanut butter and pepper, the report said.

Authorities also found a small amount of marijuana in Hawkins’ pocket, according to the report. The truck was rented by NFL running back Willie Parker, Hawkins’ former teammate at North Carolina. Parker told authorities he had purchased the furniture in Miami for his mother’s house in North Carolina and Hawkins was moving the furniture for him, according to the report.

Pate said there’s no reason to believe Hawkins or Parker knew about the drugs.

“Chris has always denied having any knowledge there were any drugs in the back of that U-Haul truck stuffed in the furniture,” Pate said. “He was not present during the loading of that furniture, he didn’t purchase that furniture and didn’t inspect it.”

Hawkins’ relationships with players have also come under scrutiny at North Carolina, where he played from 2001-03 before being kicked off the team for breaking team rules and playing his final season at Marshall. Athletic director Dick Baddour said Thursday that Hawkins had been around the football facility

and team “periodically” over the years, but that the school has told him he is no longer welcome.

“We’ve encouraged former players in all of our sports to come around,” Baddour said. “I would say it raises an issue of when they come around, does that mean we should do more to try to understand what they do and how they might impact our players? Yes, it does.

“We’ve got one guy (in question) and a long history of former players coming around in all of our sports.”

Baddour wouldn’t comment specifically on how long Hawkins had been around the North Carolina program or when he was barred from it, citing the confidentiality of an ongoing NCAA probe in Chapel Hill into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct involving a tutor. He also said the school wasn’t aware of Hawkins’ pending drug charges until they surfaced in media reports this week.  GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer says he is “real upset” about the run of arrests in his program and doesn’t know what suspended receiver Chris Rainey can do to get back on the team.  METAIRIE, La. — Reggie Bush said his decision to relinquish his Heisman Trophy is “not an admission of guilt,” just the best way to end the controversy.

COLLEGE HOOPS BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech forward J.T. Thompson will miss this season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during a pickup game.

NFL  IRVING, Texas — Cowboys fullback Deon

Anderson will be out 2 to 4 weeks after left knee surgery.  EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin’s status for Sunday’s game against Miami is uncertain after he missed practice Thursday with a hip problem.  ASHBURN, Va. — Albert Haynesworth has a sprained ankle and was unable to make it through a full practice for a second straight day.

NHL CHICAGO — The Blackhawks have given coach Joel Quenneville a three-year extension.

NBA MIAMI — Udonis Haslem’s attorney says marijuana possession charges against the Miami Heat forward have been dropped.

South Rowan

at Salisbury  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: North Rowan 0-3; Salisbury 2-2  Series: Salisbury leads 24-19-2  Last meeting: Hornets pulled away after halftime to win 51-12 at Eagle Stadium in 2009  Last North win in the series: North picked up a forfeit in 2008 after losing on the field 52-8. The last time the Cavaliers could celebrate beating the Hornets on the scoreboard was in 2003, Joe Pinyan’s first year as Salisbury’s coach. Kicker Kevin McMillan provided a 16-13 victory in the closing seconds.  Streaks: Salisbury holds the upper hand in the long, intense series because of its success during the Pete Stout era. From 1965-76, North managed two ties but had zero wins; North won seven in a row against Salisbury from 1996-2002.  Last week: North threw the ball well in a 32-18 loss to Lexington; Salisbury played better than the score

Archie

Rankin

looks in a 28-0 loss to West Rowan  Next week: North Rowan is home against YVC opponent South Stanly; Salisbury is at Davie  Game notes: Salisbury’s defense, led by safety Darien Rankin, found itself last week against West Rowan.

Now the Hornets have to get their offense back in gear.

The material is there for the offense to thrive. QB John Knox leads the county with six TD passes and ranks third in total offense. Romar Morris is second in the county in rushing with 475 yards and averages 10.6 yards per carry.

North QB T.J. Allen has thrown for 432 yards, but he was sacked nine times last week. Garland Archie leads an offensive line that will look for an improved performance.

North’s Sam Starks ranks second in the county in receiving yards per game. His six catches have accounted for a whopping 190 yards. — Mike London

Central Cabarrus  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: South Rowan 0-4; Central Cabarrus 0-3  Series: South leads 9-1  Last meeting: South crushed the Vikings 51-6 at home in 2009  Last CC win in the series: Central won 17-8 in the inaugural game between the schools in 1973.  Streaks: South won all eight meetings between the schools from 1977-84 and romped when the series was revived last season.  Last week: South was outscored 50-32 by Robinson; Central was clobbered 48-0 by Marvin Ridge  Next week: South is home against West Rowan; Central is home against Porter Ridge  Game notes: It’s sort of a Desperation Bowl for two winless teams.

Central Cabarrus, which hasn’t won a game on the field since 2007, already has been fodder for two of the top teams in 3A — West Rowan

at Garlin

West Rowan

Sherrill

and Marvin Ridge. Central was outscored 102-0 in those contests.

On the other hand, Central led at halftime and nearly beat a decent Hickory Ridge team so it’s not like the Vikings are helpless.

Central made just four first downs and had negative passing yardage last week against Marvin Ridge, so it is looking forward to facing a South defense that has allowed 39, 45, 21 and 50 points in its four games.

Veteran DB Donte Henderson may be able to return from a toe injury tonight, and Eric Tyler may see his first action at safety.

South senior Mark McDaniel continues to perform in spectacular fashion. He rushed for 150 yards and passed for 117 last week.

Dominic Garlin emerged as a threat with scoring receptions of 37 and 49 yards against Robinson. Fullback Ricky Sherrill has been solid.

South needs this one. West Rowan is up next. — Mike London

 Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: Mooresville 3-0; West Rowan 4-0  Series: Mooresville leads 21-19  Last meeting: Falcons ripped the Blue Devils 48-9 in 2009  Last Mooresville win in the series: Blue Devils mashed West 35-0 in 2002  Streaks: West has won the last eight meetings, including a playoff victory in 2005; Overall, West has won 34 games in a row.  Last week: Mooresville kept rolling with a 33-21 win against highly regarded 4A foe Alexander Central; West beat Salisbury 28-0  Next week: Mooresville is at home against Mallard Creek; West Rowan is at South Rowan  Game notes: Mooresville has been a great story in the early going.

After enduring an 0-11 season, the Blue Devils are 3-0 under new coach Hal Capps, who experienced great success at Western Alamance.

Phifer

stronger than expected.

Brown’s home loss to Thomasville on Sept. 3 shouldn’t be damaging in the big picture and may serve as a wakeup call for the Wonders, who still figure to get their usual 10 wins, even with Travis Riley sidelined.

A.L. Brown put up 412 yards of offense and 56 points on Kings Mountain in 2009, but a lot of that was Riley. He scored four TDs. This one figures to be much closer, and the Wonders may need a clutch kick from reliable Brenden Brown.

Kings Mountain comes into the game with momentum after last week’s wild win. Coach Greg Lloyd gambled on a two-point conversion, and RB Cedric Thompson found the end zone to beat Hickory.

Thompson had 231 yards in rushes and receptions, so he and Kings Mountain QB Cameron Harris will be the focus of an A.L. Brown defense that includes lineman Dominique Phifer. — Mike London

East Rowan  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: Cox Mill 2-1; East Rowan 1-3  Series: East leads 1-0  Last meeting: East rolled 30-6 on the road in 2009  Last week: Cox Mill whipped South Stanly 35-14; East was shut out by Hickory Ridge 14-0  Next week: Cox Mill plays SPC foe Mount Pleasant on the road; East opens NPC play at West Iredell  Game notes: This was probably a game East fans were penciling in as a victory back in July because the Mustangs turned the ball over four times and still won handily at Cox Mill last season. But the Chargers are making progress quickly.

They won once in 2009, a nice achievement for a first-year school, and they’ve won two already this fall under coach Greg Neuendorf.

It’s true the two wins were at home against struggling Parkwood (0-4) and 1A South Stanly (0-3), but wins

Hampton

West destroyed Mooresville last season, with QB B.J. Sherrill throwing for 166 yards and three TDs. Sherrill hasn’t put up staggering numbers in 2010, but he’s been efficient (one interception), and top-ranked West has outscored opponents 79-0 in the first half.

Tight end Patrick Hampton and track star Daishion Barger are reliable receivers. Dinkin Miller (380 rushing yards, six TDs) is productive running behind serious studs such as Charles Holloway.

West has allowed just one score, but Mooresville will provide the most balanced offense the Falcons have faced. Mooresville QB Patrick O’Brien threw three TD passes last week, two to Kyle Haslett, while Brandon Jones rushed for 107 yards.

This will be one of West’s toughest regular-season tests. Mooresville won 24-0 over NW Cabarrus and led 49-0 at halftime of a 59-0 victory against Bandys. — Mike London

East limited Cox Mill running back Jhaquille Hankerson to 85 yards on 17 carries last season, but he’s apparently been eating his Wheaties and oatmeal since then and has blossomed into Cabarrus County’s version of Carson’s Shaun Warren.

Hankerson pummeled Parkwood for 233 rushing yards — before halftime — and he finished with 208 on 16 carries against South Stanly.

Cox Mill DB Parker Kenney made two picks last week. That’s two more than East has this season.

Tonight marks Cox Mill’s first road trip of the year, and East fans can take heart in the fact that the purple, black and teal Chargers have never won a road game.

The large linemen opening holes for Warren include Daniel Rodriguez and Mitch Galloway.

The bad news is Robinson looks significantly improved from last season. Coach Bobby Cloninger’s Bulldogs took advantage of turnovers to score 50 last week against South Rowan — 36 in the second half.

Robinson pounded the Raiders for 319 rushing yards, with Troy Parker rolling for 190 on 36 carries. QB Joey Bastine chipped in with 97 passing yards and 66 rushing yards.

Still, Carson should be fine unless it gets caught looking ahead to its NPC opener next week.

Expect plenty of points to be scored, but look for lineman Ryan Shoaf (nine sacks), LB T.J. White and the rest of Carson’s solid defense to get enough stops to stay unbeaten. — Mike London

GALLAGHER FROM 1B Capps is determined to get Mooresville back where it belongs — in the limelight.

As soon as he arrived, he started working on the mindset.

“I think the athletes have always been here,” Capps said. “Our biggest adjustment when we came was instill some things and then kick some things out. We had to make some changes in attitudes.”

That has been accomplished. A 33-21 win against a good Alexander Central team last week has Mooresville back on everyone’s radar.

When the season began, the two teams thought to have the best chance of ending West’s win streak during the regular season were Davie and Salisbury. West took them down by a total score of 68-0.

Nobody was thinking about Mooresville — until now.

And Capps wants his team to enjoy tonight’s experience. He is certainly enjoying himself.

“I’m having the time of my life here,” Capps said.

“I’m having a lot of fun.” 

Capps does have a West Rowan connection. When the Burlington Williams star went to Catawba, he had to go up against an honorable-mention All-American defensive lineman every day in practice: Kevin Parks, currently one of Young’s assistants.

“I’ll tell you this,” Capps laughed. “I never blocked Kevin Parks. I lined up against him probably about 3,000 times, and I never blocked him. I still get headaches thinking about him. He was phenomenal. A great athlete, a great player.”  JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Arkansas plans to get defensive

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. — Arkansas knows it can score plenty of points.

Stopping the other team? That’s been a problem for the Razorbacks.

It was never more evident than a year ago, when Ryan Mallett set school records by throwing for 408 yards and five touchdowns against Georgia — and still came up short.

Journeyman quarterback Joe Cox threw five TD passes of his own, and the Bulldogs piled up 530 yards in a 52-41 victory at Fayetteville.

On Saturday, the No. 12 Razorbacks (2-0) will be eager to show there’s more to this upand-coming program than just a flashy offense when they visit Sanford Stadium for a SEC Conference rematch with Georgia (1-1).

So far, so good. Arkansas ranks fourth in the nation in yards allowed, just 187.5 per game.

“I’ve been very excited and pleased with the way our defense has been playing,” said coach Bobby Petrino, whose roster includes former West Rowan defensive standout Chris Smith. “The knowledge of the schemes, the speed we’ve been playing SMITH with, how fast we’re getting to the football and the effort we’re really playing with.”

But those impressive numbers should come with an asterisk. Arkansas’ first two games were against Tennessee Tech and LouisianaMonroe — hardly the level of competition they’ll be facing in the SEC, starting with the trip to Georgia and followed a week later by a visit from defending national champ Alabama.

“We’ve been working hard all summer, all spring, to make sure we (would) be that defense,” Arkansas senior safety Rudell Crim said.

’PACK FroM 1B JON C. LAKEY/saLisBUrY post

salisbury’s dejoun Jones tracks down south’s dominique Garlin, who is joined downfield by teammate clay Wilson. the raiders are looking to get their first win tonight.

COMMON FroM 1B Boyden walloped Wadesboro 77-0 and spanked Spencer behind the woodshed 95-0.

Someone should’ve waved a white flag.

Coach Bill Ludwig’s Boyden clubs that won big-school state titles in 1955 and 1957 defended like tigers. The 1955 squad allowed 5.25 points a game, while the 1957 club was stingier at 4.73.

Coach Pete Stout’s 1971 Salisbury Hornets allowed 6.69 points a game while playing in the SPC with Thomasville, A.L. Brown, Lexington, Albemarle and Concord.

In 1974, Stout’s Hornets got even meaner.

They gave up 6.0 points a game.

Salisbury’s scary 1995 aggregation, coached by Conrad Green, had the best defense the school has put together in recent decades: seven shutouts and 5.46 points a game.

Coach Reid Bradshaw’s 1978 South Rowan squad permitted 5.09 points a game, the best defensive numbers the county has seen in the modern era. The Raiders’ four shutouts included a 70-0 win against Mooresville.

South went 9-2. The losses were 7-0 to A.L. Brown and 6-0 to Thomasville.

North Rowan’s 1961 team has held the school record for defense for nearly half a century. Coach Burton Barger’s Cavaliers went 9-1, shut out six foes and allowed 5.4 points per game.

Coach Larry Thomason’s 11-1 team in 1985 is also noteworthy for defensive dominance. In a far more explosive era, it blanked seven opponents and allowed 5.92 points a game.

East Rowan’s finest defensive work came in 1969, the year the Mustangs went 13-0.

East fans cherish memories of the Yates-toYarbrough passing combination, but coach W.A. Cline’s defense also was great. The Mustangs permitted 6.62 points a game.

A.L. Brown is famed more for big-play offense than lockdown defense, but Ed Edmiston-coached teams in the single-wing days put up unreal defensive numbers.

Brown’s 9-1 team in 1953 allowed only 45 points. Unfortunately, 26 of them came in the loss to Albemarle.

Brown’s 1960 team went unbeaten, although it battled to two scoreless ties.

That team allowed a meager 3.25 points per game.

Carson’s best defense ever? You’re watching it.

Common Sense was 4-2 last week, with miserable misses on South-Robinson and Davie-Greenville Rose.

LONDON FroM 1B “Lexington was the one team that beat us when were sophomores on jayvees,” Blackwell said.

“And we’d had a bench-clearer with Thomasville my junior year.”

North opened the 1985 season with optimism under cerebral coach and math teacher Larry Thomason. Darryl Jackson and Tim Weaver had attended Notre Dame’s football camp, and there was a feeling that North could be big-time.

Sims and Nick Travis were standout linebackers. Sims (power) and Jackson (speed) provided a prototype thunder-and-lightning combination in the backfield. Kesler was a great athlete. Antione Sifford could catch a pass from QB Barry Glass when the Cavaliers needed it.

Blackwell was a 240-pound bruiser, one of the largest players in the county and a rock on both lines.

“Coach Thomason was the brainiac of that organization, but he could motivate you in his own special way,” Blackwell said. “He knew football — offense and defense — inside and out. He had a good staff, guys like Bill Kesler and Bob Hundley, and Roger Secreast had come over from Salisbury my senior year.

east rowan’s Jonathan Lowe runs free as North’s Michael robinson trails the play.

Common Sense is 17-5 for the year. This is not an easy night. Common Sense could go 0-7 for the first time.

The picks: West Rowan 20, Mooresville 7 Did we mention that West is allowing 1.75 points per game?

Salisbury 35, North Rowan 12 The Hornets have lost twice in a row on the field for the first time since 2003.

Surely, they won’t lose three straight.

A.L. Brown 24, Kings Mountain 21 Brown is coming off a loss and an open week. The Wonders don’t lose two in a row very often, either. Last time was in 2002.

Carson 42, Jay M. Robinson 21 Before this season, the Cougars had never been 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0. They should be 5-0 after tonight.

They could be 7-0 when West Rowan visits China Grove on Oct. 8. That’s a big parking lot at Carson, but it may not be big enough.

South Rowan 28, Central Cabarrus 21 If you’re a Central Cabarrus fan, this pick is wonderful news. Common Sense is 0-2 supporting the Raiders the past two weeks.

Cox Mill 21, East Rowan 14 It hurts Common Sense to think East could lose at home to a team wearing purple and teal, but Cox Mill has scored 68 points the last two weeks. The Mustangs have managed six.

Thomasville 24, Davie County 14 Davie stunned Rose last week as a twoTD underdog. Maybe the War Eagles can shock Common Sense and the state one more time.

But it’s tough playing at Thomasville, and kicker Lawson Hodges makes you start on your 20-yard line all night long.

Jay Smith and Curtis Underwood Jr. had first-half touchdown catches, and Mustafa Greene had a 31-yard scoring run that gave N.C. State a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The Wolfpack never trailed thanks to Wilson and a defense that pressured Zach Collaros much of the night, a welcome sign considering the questions that followed both coming into the season.

After Wilson’s struggles last week at Central Florida, it seemed he was having some of the struggles coach Tom O’Brien predicted after he missed spring drills while concentrating on playing baseball for the Wolfpack, followed by spending the summer playing baseball in the Colorado Rockies’ organization.

O’Brien had said it would take time for Wilson to find his game again, though on Thursday night he played with the steady presence that made him an All-ACC quarterback as a freshman two seasons ago.

“I think, as we said all along, it was a matter of time,” O’Brien said. “It was going to come. We were just hoping sooner rather than later, and tonight was a good night for him to get on.”

Wilson completed 26 of 40 passes, including an 8-yard touchdown strike to Taylor Gentry with about 71⁄2 minutes left to make it 30-7. He also ran for 33 yards while evading the rush or keeping plays alive against the Bearcats (1-2), who could only watch as the Wolfpack piled up nearly 500 total yards.

Compare that to last weekend, when Wilson completed just 10 of 30 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown.

“I don’t feel like I’ve really been rusty,” he said. “I’m just trying to get into a rhythm, trying to continue to work one play at a time, and I did that tonight a little bit better I feel like. But at the same time, I’ve got a lot more work to do.”

While Wilson had the offense going, N.C. State’s defense did its part, too. The Wolfpack finished with five sacks, hurried Collaros four times and notched a fourthand-1 stop early in the fourth quarter. The only blemish was allowing Cincinnati to score a

said. “It all started for us with defense. Kesler knocked May out of the game for a while.”

Lexington turned it over five times. Jackson and Sims both rolled for more than 100 yards.

That stirring victory made North the hunted instead of the hunter. North barely escaped against Randleman the following week. Sifford picked off three passes and Kesler caught two TDs in a 19-16 squeaker.

Salisbury was next.

“After we beat Lexington, we were kind of like the West Rowan of today, with everyone gunning for us,” Blackwell said. “And when it was us and Salisbury, you could FiLe photo throw the records out the door.

N.C. State also blocked a punt to set up Gentry’s touchdown catch.

Collaros connected with D.J. Woods twice for touchdowns, the first from 68 yards late in the first half.

But Cincinnati didn’t run a play inside the N.C. State 32 until the final minutes, long after the Wolfpack had the game in hand.

“It’s inexcusable,” Bearcats coach Butch Jones said. “Our players have got to play better, our coaches have got to coach better, everything in our program.”

state championship.

But North got caught looking ahead. Cavs were already thinking about a rematch with Lexington when they were ambushed 22-6 by Claremont’s Bunker Hill High in the second round. The Bears had Alvin Baker, a 2,000-yard rusher who would be named AP Player of the Year for North Carolina.

“We had to go up there, it rained, and the field was a mud patty,” Blackwell said. “I’d got hit on the side of the knee in practice that week. I played on it. Defensively, I was OK, but offensively, I didn’t have one of my better games.”

North’s pain increased when Lexington won the 2A state title.

With Sifford and Kesler leading the way, North bounced back to win a basketball state championship a few months later.

In the spring of 1986, Blackwell shined on the baseball diamond.

He was Rowan County’s Player of the Year. Playing first base, he hit six homers and drove in 35 runs in a 21-game season.

Blackwell’s father had taken him to see the Catawba-CarsonNewman football game his junior year. The Eagles had won 50-7.

That outcome determined his college choice.

“I didn’t have a lot of offers and Catawba was going through some staff changes and wasn’t really recruiting me,” Blackwell said. “I was impressed by Carson-Newman

N.C. State is off to its best start since winning its first nine games behind Rivers, an eventual NFL first-round draft pick.

“It’s huge,” offensive guard R.J. Mattes said. “I couldn’t even tell you the last time State was 3-0. That’s crazy.”

As for Cincinnati, things won’t get any easier. After winning consecutive Big East titles and reaching the Sugar Bowl last season, the Bearcats opened with a loss at Fresno State in which they lost top receiver Vidal Hazelton to a knee injury — and will face No. 7 Oklahoma next weekend.

“Obviously, we weren’t expecting these results,” Collaros said. “Nobody hopes for this. We’re going to see what our team is made out of these next couple of weeks with this adversity. It’s going to test our character and test our togetherness, and we’ve just got to stick together.

We’ll right the ship.”

and wound up going there.”

He found out college football was a different world.

“I redshirted my freshman year, but I practiced every day,” Blackwell said. “Carson-Newman won the 1986 national championship, so I guess I was a small part of it.”

He left school after his freshman year, partly because of his father’s health issues. There were discussions about him returning home to play football or baseball for Catawba, but finances didn’t pan out.

“So I went to work,” he said.

In 1988, he started with the N.C. Department of Correction, and he’s still working for the state.

“It’s stable,” he said. “It gave me a chance to start a family.

Blackwell and wife, Chrissy, have two daughters — Allison and Katie. Allison is an athletic whiz at Carson. As a freshman, she was allcounty in volleyball and basketball and a starter in softball.

Blackwell is happy with the path his life has taken. He’s glad he volunteered at South Rowan and put in 10 years there as an assistant coach.

“That pretty much made my wife a single parent all that time, but it’s something I felt like I had to do,” he said. “You can’t go through life looking back with regrets, and while I never regretted leaving college, I always regretted the way I left.

“Giving the time back to the game for 10 years, I like to think I made things right with football.”

Salisbury’s boys soccer t e a m Salisbury 2 stayed unStatesville 0 d e f e a t e d with a 2-0 win against Statesville at Ludwig Stadium on Thursday. “We played our best match of the year,� Salisbury coach Tom Sexton said. “It was physical, but it was clean. It was a game played between gentlemen.

Statesville’s fast and they can move the ball, but our guys were flying around.�

Keeper Connor Miller led the Hornets (10-0).

He reacted quickly to deflect a penalty kick, then stopped a quick shot off he rebound before his teammates were able to clear the ball. “Conner was pretty much an animal in the box,� Sexton said. “That’s the Connor we know well.�

Salisbury got another great defensive effort from Spencer Dixon, Luke Hutton, David Simons and John Canipe.

Simons, who practiced cross country and football before the match, played 80 minutes of soccer to finish off a busy day.

It was still scoreless with 26 minutes left to play when John Grant stole a pass and sent a long airball to Emmy Turcios. Turcios flicked the ball over the keeper’s head for the first goal of the night.

Seven minutes later,

Turcios took the ball to the 18, ran off his defender and dropped a pass behind him for Kenne Bonilla. Bonilla scored with a low bullet off the left post. “We were rhythmic tonight,� Sexton said. “As far as defense and goalkeeping, we couldn’t have been much better.�

Salisbury, ranked No. 1 in 2A, faces 13th-ranked West Davidson next Wednesday to open CCC play.

Marco Mejia, the Hornets’ leading scorer, got hurt Tuesday in the first matchup with Statesville. Sexton said he doesn’t know long Mejia will be out.

Statesville, which has played a difficult schedule, fell to 3-5-1.

DURHAM — Mike Krzyzewski is getting settled again at Duke and already sounds hungry for another championship.

Krzyzewski’s trophy case certainly has gotten more crowded lately. A few months after leading the Blue Devils to their fourth NCAA tournament title, he coached the United States to the gold medal at the world championships in Turkey. “I had two of the purest experiences of my life in a five-month period,� Krzyzewski said Thursday. “At this time of my career, it’s crazy, lucky, good. But I want to have another experience with my Duke team.�

Krzyzewski, who also led the U.S. to Olympic gold two years ago in Beijing, admitted he’s playing catch-up with recruiting at Duke, but said that isn’t a big deal. He’s in the process of turning his full focus toward the pursuit of a second straight national title with the Blue Devils, whom he said worked out for about an hour Wednesday, the first day allowed by the NCAA. “There is an emotional price you pay in being in that competitive environment,� the 63-year-old Krzyzewski said. “Between now and when we start practice on Oct. 15, I’ve got to make sure I fill up the tank with that because our Duke kids deserve that. But

Alix Theodossiou-Taylor Theodossiou won 10-6 against Erika Nelson-Katelyn Storey at No. 1, and Mackenzie LaSure-Millie Thomas broke the tie with a 10-4 victory against Loeblein-Page. “I think we played well,� said Salisbury coach Chris MYERS Myers, whose team had lost only to 4A juggernaut Raleigh Broughton before Thursday. “That’s why we played these kids. We wanted the girls to take risks, and that’s how you get better, by playing competition. “Are we disappointed we lost? Sure. At the same time, we’re also pleased with the level of competition, pleased we got to play such good girls, and we learned some things about ourselves.�

physically, I feel really good, but there is a lot of emotion in coming after winning the national title and doing that.

Again, I’m not complaining.�

At least the Hall of Fame coach gets a chance to breathe somewhat easier next summer — the AmeriKRZYZEWSKI cans’ victory in the world championships came with an automatic spot in the Olympics in London, meaning they won’t have to play a qualifying tournament in 2011.

He reaffirmed that those games in 2012 will mark the end of his run as the U.S. coach, though he insisted he will remain involved with USA Basketball in an undecided capacity. He took note of the international fans’ fervor, quipping that “I don’t think anyone was calling me a name. It wasn’t like playing in the ACC.�

And he reflected upon coaching against one of his former players when he faced a Lithuania team with former Blue Devils guard Marty Pocius. He called the medal ceremony in which the Americans claimed gold and the Lithuanians got the bronze “a pretty good day for Duke.�

The Blue Devils certainly didn’t have many bad days last year, and Krzyzewski’s challenge once again is to keep it going.

Fig trees can last a lifetime if properly planted, cared for

BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

Figs are Old World fruits originating in the Mediterranean basin. These delicious fruits are in the same family as the ornamental rubber tree, weeping fig and mulberry.

Fig trees often become a family heirloom, surviving for decades. There seems to be a growing interest in fig production.

Rowan County is considered a marginal area for fig culture with cold weather as the limiting factor. Figs are considered sub-tropical fruits susceptible to winter kill when temperatures fall below 20 degrees. In the Piedmont area, figs are more of a bush rather than a tree. Cold weather in January and late spring freezes can severely damage a fig crop.

Brown Turkey and Celeste are two varieties that have adapted relatively well to our climate. Celeste ripens in mid-July and Brown Turkey two weeks later in August.

These varieties should be planted on fertile, well drained soils. Avoid poorly drained, tight clay soils. Fig trees prefer sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5.

Fluctuating winter temperatures are a common problem for fig trees in Rowan County, so plant figs in an area that is protected from the winter sun and cold winter winds. Unseasonably warm temperatures during the winter months may cause premature growth; damage is certain with a sudden plunge in temperature.

Planting fig trees on a northern exposure helps maintain dormancy to reduce cold injury. For best growth, plant figs in full sunlight and avoid competition from neighboring trees, shrubs or buildings.

Fig trees require a complete fertilizer such as 10-1010. A rule of thumb for the amount of fertilizer to use is one pound annually for each foot of height. Reduce the nitrogen if the fig tree produces more than two feet of new growth per year. Exces-

sive growth makes the tree more susceptible to winter injury, light fruiting and fruit splitting.

Although figs require very little pruning, it should be done in late winter, just before new growth begins.

Make smooth clean cuts, close to the lateral branches.

Avoid leaving stubs.

Prune to control the height of the tree or bush.

Remove dead wood or suckers from the trunk or main branches. Remove weak or drooping branches. Prune about one foot of new growth each year on most of the branches.

Fresh figs are not tasty until soft and ripe. Pick figs just as they begin to soften. These can be stored in the refrigerator at 40 degrees. Figs used for preserving may be picked a few days before they are fully ripe.

The Rowan County 4-H program is now taking orders for figs and other small fruits with the annual fall plant sale. Go online at www. rowanextension.com or call the Cooperative Extension

Figs can grow in this climate if you pick a good spot and keep the plant warm.

Office at 704-216-8970 for more information or to place

Rowan event Sept. 20-26 he 59th Annual Rowan County Fair rolls into town Monday evening.

Along with the rides, the chicken and dumplings, cotton candy and the exhibits, there is much to learn from the fair, especially in agriculture.

With the increased interest in local foods, many are more focused on agriculture. If your DARRELL interest is in BLACKWELDER farm animals, you need to gravitate toward the livestock barns.

Livestock and small animal shows take center stage in the evenings, especially the youth shows. Youth participants have been preparing for weeks for the right to show and compete with their animals next week.

Below is a list of important dates for these animal shows and other important events at the 2010 Rowan County Fair.

When the weather cools, we sometimes get the urge to do something different, perhaps bake some wonderful goodies or cook some warm comfort foods. Well, our taste buds aren’t the only things that welcome a warm change. Let’s explore some warming decor.

Hardwood, tile or marble floors are all fabulous, but when cooler weather hits, it is nice to have warmth underfoot. Adding soft, thick area rugs or runners not only brings a new look to a room, but they will also warm up the floor under your bare, chilly feet.

Rearranging the furniture will give the room a new look without costing you a penny. Create cozy conversation areas for a sense of warmth and intimacy. Do you have a fireplace? Inch the furniture closer to the fireplace.

Even if the fire isn’t on, the room will look nice and snug.

Fall-scented candles, such as cinnamon, apple or vanilla, will add to that cozy feeling. Candles always make a nice centerpiece on the dining table, as well. Arrange twigs around the candles for a touch of the outdoors. (And, of course, never leave lighted candles unattended.)

You can add a temporary lining to your draperies with Velcro. The lining helps keep the cold outside and can be removed to wash and store when the warmer weather returns.

Another warming idea that doesn’t cost much is to add tablecloths or runners to tables. The fabrics not only dress up the table, but they also make the room appear warmer, much like layering clothes on yourself when the weather turns nippy.

In the bathroom, changing the towels to reflect fall colors might make the room feel a little warmer. Bring some of those fall candles into the bathroom, as well.

What about all those pinecones outside? Bring ’em in. Put them in bowls and use them as centerpieces, either on dining or cocktail tables. Instant fall decor!

Toss blankets on chairs or sofas. Not only do they keep you warm, but they are decorative as well. Draped casually over the arm of the chair or sofa, they beckon you to curl up and be cozy.

Even if the weather is still warm where you are, fall is just around the corner. By the time you’ve purchased or rearranged everything, the cooler weather will be upon us.

he North Carolina Association of County Commissioners held an inaugural youth summit in conjunction with their annual meeting.

YouthVoice 2010 was held Aug. 27-28 in Greenville.

More than 80 youth and adults from 74 counties attended the YouthVoice 2010 Youth Summit, which was SARA sponsored by DRAKE the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC).

During the summit, attendees had a chance to interact with county commissioners, attend the annual Horn of Plenty event sponsored by N.C. Cooperative Extension, participate in workshop sessions and attend NC SPIN. YouthVoice 2010 was developed because of NCACC’s 2010 President Mary Accor’s commitment to youth and to developing youth leaders.

North Carolina 4-H Youth Development and North Carolina Cooperative Extension were the lead partners and led the efforts to plan the summit and organize YouthVoice 2010. At the summit, youth attendees determined the top 10 issues facing youth today.

The top issues stemmed from ones that youth in every county identified and compiled. Once the top 10 issues at the county level were determined, youth attended a district wide meeting to prioritize issues on a district level. From the district meetings, one youth per county was invited to attend YouthVoice 2010.

The Rowan County delegate who was selected to attend was Savanah Hipp, daughter of David and Pam Hipp of Salisbury.

From more than 60 issues, the delegation attending YouthVoice 2010 determined the top 10 issues facing youth in North Carolina. The top issues were: Teen pregnancy — prevention, sex education, health issues, tough decisions.

Substance abuse — includes illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs, younger children trying tobacco.

Survival gardens can do more than put fresh, nutritious food on the table, she said. “Families have told us they sell some of their overage (from the starter kits) to pay bills and get medicines,� she said.

Scott Peterson, owner of Hometown Seeds, an online operation based in Orem, Utah, sells “survival seed� packets, and said their sales have more than doubled in the past year. Each package contains 16 easy-to-grow heirloom vegetables, from beets to pole beans, cabbage to sweet corn.

They come triple-wrapped in watertight plastic, designed to increase storage life.

Peterson noted that gardening with seed is one way to save on food dollars, particularly if it’s the right kind of seed. “It’s got to be open-pollinated� — that is, aided by birds, bees and wind, he said. Seeds used from open-pollinated plants mature “true to variety� and can grow into many generations of crops retaining the traits of their parents.

Seeds replanted from hybrids, on the other hand, may become sterile or revert into something genetically different from their crossbred originals. “You can save our ‘survival seed’ for at least five years — 10 years if frozen — a practice that helps reduce your living costs because you’re not buying new seed every spring,� Peterson said.

R126233

Many cash-strapped families are turning to “survival gardens� to help dig out from the recession. These differ from the usual vegetable patch by delivering high yields from small spaces and producing wholesome foods that store well.

Probably just as important: They can be done on the cheap. “They were called ‘victory gardens’ during the world wars because they helped ease shortages,� said Chris Becker, a regional agent with the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service in Florence. “We call them ‘survival gardens’ now because they help families cut spending.�

The term is part of a larger do-it-yourself trend toward growing more backyard veggies and eating locally grown food.

Survival gardens are used mainly to raise the kind of produce that you can grow for less than what you would pay at a grocery store — things like squash, watermelon and zucchini. “There’s also the bonus that homegrown tastes better than store-bought. Just a lot more flavor,� Becker said.

People new to gardening can get help from county extension offices, churches and community groups. Some offer training, others provide growing sites and a few distribute supplies — all for little or no charge. “When families come to us for our free starter kits, we seek out people who’ve never gardened before as well as those having the skills and the willingness to teach it,� said Tammy McDaniel, executive director of the Community Action Agency of Northwest Alabama. “We had 209 volunteers this year who did everything from take in applications to repackaging and handing out the garden supplies, which included seed, plants and fertilizers,�

McDaniel said. “They served over 900 families.�

Discounts and buying in bulk brought the agency’s costs down to $16.84 per garden site. “That should produce an estimated $400 worth of food, primarily items that are good for freezing or canning and that can tide you over for a while,� McDaniel said.

How to dramatically reduce your mortgage Pennsylvania

Dear Ann: Let’s say you have these loan terms: $150,000 principal at 6 percent interest for 15 years.

Your monthly payments are $1,265.78. You are about to make your first monthly payment. If you asked for an amortization schedule, MARY you would see HUNT that your first payment will allocate $750 to interest and $515.78 toward paying down the principal, which brings your new balance to $149,484.22.

If you were to make two full payments in the first month, the entire $1,265.78 of the second payment would go to reduce the principal because you already would have paid the interest required for that month. This is known as a “principal prepayment.”

Provided your loan does not

have a prepayment penalty, you can make any amount of additional principal payment during the month once you have paid the minimum payment and interest due. Your prepayment doesn't have to equal another monthly payment.

Just for fun, I ran the numbers on that mortgage scenario to see what would happen if double payments were made every month. You might think that double payments cut everything in half, but the results are far more dramatic than that. You would pay a 15-year mortgage in six years, 11 months and slash the total interest ($77,841.93) to only $28,336.77. That's the power of prepaying the principal.

When making a principal prepayment, use a separate check and write “Principal Prepayment Only” in the memo area.

Dear Readers: Would you like to see how principal prepayments would affect your mortgage payoff time? Log on to http://www.DebtProofLiving.com during the month of September, and use my “Debt Investment” calculator. It's the FREE Calculator of the Month!

Dear Mary: What can I do to remove stains from my Formica bathroom counter? I treated the stain with a mixture of bleach, water and hydrogen peroxide. That just made it a lighter brown stain.

I have tried everything and am at my wits’ end. Any suggestions?

— Jean D., Texas

Dear Jean: I don’t have good news. The folks at Formica are very specific when it comes to how to care for their laminate products. Never use cleaners containing acid, alkali or sodium hypochlorite, such as chlorine bleach, drain cleaners, metal cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and lime scale removers. These cleaners will mar, etch, corrode and permanently discolor the laminate surface.

Depending on what caused the original stain, the company says your stain may be reduced by applying a paste of baking soda and water to the area. The paste will be abrasive, so do not rub. Wipe up the paste with a clean, damp, nonabrasive cotton cloth, and then rinse with clean water.

Peel, core and chop apples, and fill slow cooker until it’s heaping full. Place remaining ingredients in a slow cooker with apples. The amount will reduce as it cooks. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then lower heat and slow cook for 9 hours. Remove lid, and continue to slow cook an additional 30 minutes to an hour or until thick and brown with no liquid left. Place in hot sterilized jars. Set in hot-water bath with lids on for 10 minutes. Boil until seal is secure, and set aside to cool.

— Donna, Iowa

Dear Sara: A couple of weeks ago I read an article for Laundry Pre-Treater. It gave the ingredient ratio of 1⁄8 ammonia and 1⁄8 detergent and added water, but failed to mention the size bottle to use to mix. Please send the correct size.

— Susan,

Pour in ammonia first, then laundry detergent, then slowly add in the cold water.

Swirl gently until well combined. Use this to saturate all garments with stains (except delicate fabrics). Saturate stains, let sit for a while, and then launder in hottest temperature possible for that clothing. This will remove even old bloodstains.

Southerner’s accent causes constant comment Dear Amy: One of my sons was married to a woman for a little more than a year many years ago (they divorced in 1994). They didn’t have any children, nor did they own a home or any property when they went their separate ways.

Six years later he married a wonderful woman, and they have had two children.

So here’s the problem: What should I do with the photo album of the wedding pictures from his first marriage? I have it packed away and don’t expect to look at it, but should I throw it away?

I’m trying to “downsize” and get rid of stuff, so my children don’t have to go through it later.

Dear Amy: I had a nice chuckle regarding the letter from “Desperate Daughter,” whose father was dating ever-younger women.

My father has been married four times. After his divorce from my mother he married a woman who was about 11 or 12 years my senior. His next wife was only nine years older than me!

Once that marriage ended, I told my father to be careful in his future choices for wives, as anyone younger than me would not be accepted graciously.

When he introduced me to his current wife, I had only one question for her.

“What year were you born?”

We were born in the same year!

So I stuck my neck out a little farther and ventured, “And which month?”

Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611. Amy Dickinson’s memoir, “The Mighty Queens of Freeville: A Moth-

Dear Ann: First, ask your son if he has any interest at all in any of the photos from this album; if any of you are ever in touch with his exwife or her family, perhaps there are photos of themselves or their relatives that they would like to keep.

If he has no interest in the pictures, go through the album and remove any you’d like to keep — and dispose of the rest.

Dear Lee: In my experience, people in the North are both charmed and flummoxed by Southern accents.

They think of their own inflections as being completely neutral (though go to an accent-rich place like Maine, Chicago or Pittsburgh and you know that’s not true).

I recently had a friend visiting from England and became aware for the first time of what a burden it is to sport an accent unlike the one used in the place you’re visiting. People would not shut up about it.

I also saw from my friend’s perspective how rude it is to have people focused not on what you are saying but the way you are saying it.

You must tell your girlfriend that her comments and mocking are very rude.

It’s time for her to get over the novelty already.

But give her hometown people a break. Assume they are curious about you but just don’t know how to express their interest graciously. Your line, “To me,

As a State Farm agent, you run your business your way

you have an accent,” is a perfect response.

R122864

Dear Amy: I have worked with people from all over the world for more than 13 years. In all this time I have never discussed people’s accents with them; this topic has never come up.

I am from a big city in the South and don’t really have that much of a Southern accent.

However, for the last seven months I have been dating a girl the from Northeast and she mentions my accent all the time and also mocks it occasionally.

When I her visit ASK hometown, AMY they also point out that I have an accent.

To me they have an accent, but I am used to it and don’t think anything about it.

Part of the issue is that I get tired discussing it with so many people up there.

Are they sheltered and not used to it, or are they just rude?

How should I handle this?

Friday, Sept. 17 Restraining influences that kept you from doing what you wanted in the past will finally be alleviated in the year ahead, freeing you up to successfully pursue a number of objectives. It could be a year of many fulfillments.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t hold back from getting involved in an enterprise in which you are asked to play a prominent role.

Once your imprint is on it, you won’t have to share the spotlight with others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — By associating with good friends with whom you have strong personal bonds, you can reap more benefits than usual. Each will be able to do for the other what s/he needs.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This is likely to be one of those rare days when something you’ve been desiring will work out exactly as you had hoped, without any strings attached, and, surprisingly, without you lifting a finger.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Devote as much time and energy as you can to enhancing your financial position. Conditions are extremely favorable for adding to your holdings and growing your bank account.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You are likely to be the recipient of some kind of inspirational message. Chances are it will contain certain valuable information that will profoundly change your attitude and life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Something quite important might be stirring around you of which you aren’t likely to be aware. When you finally hear of it, you’ll be glad you didn’t know, so you couldn’t stand in the way.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Having a cooperative attitude will be one of your best assets, and will serve you well. The more you show your appreciation for others, the more they’ll want to do for you.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Don’t hang back or be timid in any way when it comes to your ambitions. You can realize the success you crave, if you pursue your objectives with all the gusto you can manage.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Maintain a positive attitude, regardless of how fearful you really are about going after something you want badly. If you truly believe in yourself and your abilities, you’ll make all the right moves.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Even if you have to deal with some changes not of your making, everything is likely to turn out just fine.

In fact, things could end up being much greater than you thought possible.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Get out and move around a bit, especially if you’ve been feeling hemmed in or restricted in any way.

Once you are out and gadding about, your attitude will improve immensely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Those big financial gains that you’re looking for are likely to come about through getting involved in some kind of endeavor in which you can perform a special service for another that most people can’t.

Kidney-failure diagnosis can be tricky Don’t lock the door to the dummy

Dear Reader: The kidneys are fistsized, bean-shaped organs located at the back of the upper abdomen. Their purpose is to filter and clean blood. When the kidneys lose their ability to perform as intended, the condition is known as kidney failure.

Stabilized failure simply means that your kidneys have lost some function but are no longer deteriorating.

Symptoms of failure vary, depending on the type experienced. Diagnosis can be difficult for a physician because symptoms and complaints can be attributed to other, unrelated symptoms. I will cover a few possibilities.

Stones form when the accumulated urine in the kidneys contains too high a concentration of uric acid, calcium or oxalate. Low levels of citrate and magnesium can also contribute to the formation. While there are four types of stones, the

have already requested a copy of my Health Report “Kidney Disorders,” 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 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print out an order form from my website www.AskDrGottMD .com.

Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to receive a copy of your “No Flour, No Sugar Diet.”

How may I order it?

Dear Reader: Oddly enough, your request is not unique. I receive inquiries every day, and my website has specific instructions for ordering. Most of my books are offered on the bottom of the “About” page, but if a reader doesn’t scroll to the bottom of the page, the section is likely missed. We are presently working on a more user-friendly site with better links that will assist readers. In any event, follow the links that will take you directly to Amazon.com. Thank you for your inquiry.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD .com.

Yesterday’s deal featured leading the jack from A-K-J-x in hand opposite 10-x-x in the dummy to generate a dummy entry with the 10 (or to be given at least three tricks without losing one). Today’s deal is a variation on that theme.

You are in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart, the seven. How would you plan the play? What do you think of your sequence?

Taking the second question first, opening two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing, then jumping to three notrump, promises a balanced hand with 25-27 points. You have only 24, but because they are all in aces and kings, you are

right to upgrade. Since aces are worth closer to four-anda-half points, your hand really counts to at least 25.

You seem to start with nine top tricks: two spades, three hearts (given the lead) and four clubs. However, the club suit is blocked. Af-

ter cashing your ace and king, you must be able to get into the dummy to collect the queen and jack. What is your only dummy entry?

It must come from hearts.

Now apply the Rule of Eleven to West’s opening lead. Seven from 11 is four.

This means that there are four hearts higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. And you can see all four: dummy’s jack and 10, and your ace and king. East cannot have a high heart; West has the queen.

So, ignoring the Greek gift, win the first trick with your ace or king, cash your two club winners, and lead a low heart from your hand to gain that dummy entry.

Your nine tricks are safe.

most common are the result of excess calcium. This can result from some prescribed diuretics, the ingestion of large amounts of vitamin D, dehydration or from excess hormones — specifically thyroid and/or parathyroid.

Pyelonephritis is a common kidney inflammation.

This disorder is rather common in women but can also occur in conjunction with kidney stones, bladder tumors, urinary infections or an enlarged prostate gland in men.

Chronic kidney failure can occur from injury, blocked blood vessels, or can be the result of complications from a surgical procedure. Chronic failure occurs when the function of the kidneys has decreased to less than 25 percent of what it should be. With acute or chronic failure, waste products build up in the blood and cannot be eliminated.

Symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness and a decrease in urine output.

Treatment consists of determining the cause for the failure, controlling infection and prescribing diuretics.

In extremely advanced cases, dialysis may be necessary.

Your failure may be the result of diabetes, hypertension or untreated or repeated kidney inflammation.

Make an appointment with your physician or a nephrologist to determine what can be done to bring things under better control.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am an 86year-old doctor’s daughter concerned that both my parents died of kidney failure, although I never knew how it happened.

Perhaps you could tell me what steps I should take first to deal with it, as I just got a report from my doctor indicating that I have chronic kidney disease that has stabilized. What does that mean?
