Love of learning, teaching never ends for former biology professor BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

r. Jay Buxton went on his 38th mission trip to Georgia in February when he was 90 years old. Three years ago he climbed scaffolding, mixed concrete and helped build a health clinic in Guatemala. After retiring from Catawba College in 1987 when he was 68, he hiked most of the Appalachian Trail with his friends. He’s remained active his entire life —the secret, he says, to a happy and healthy life. Born in Italy, raised on a farm in Warsaw, Ohio, he ultimately ended up in Salisbury after finishing his schooling in California, Texas and Ohio. He became the chair of the biology department at Catawba College for 19 years, retiring in 1987. Always a lover of the land, he worked on his father’s farms during his childhood years. He learned to play the harmonica from the hired farm hands, and he gained a lot of knowledge from the land — something he’d use later on in his life.

He enrolled in college at Muskingum College where he had a famous classmate —John Glenn — but he was soon called for a physical, and his college years were put on hold. He was sent to Metagorda Island off of the coast of Texas, where he developed a Sunday school class, and was then moved to San Marcos, Texas, where he met Audrey Kennedy, who later became his wife. When he was shipped off to Sioux Falls, he met Elda Iverson, who would later become his second and current wife. “But we didn’t date,” he said of Elda, noting her family members were active in the Methodist Church there, and they often had soldiers over for dinner. Elda wouldn’t come back into the picture until 30 years later. He ended up heading overseas for World War II, but only put in

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Police are looking for a registered sex offender in the death of the daughter of a North Carolina police chief. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement Sunday that the body of 23year-old Valerie Hamilton was found the previous night in a self-storage unit. She was the daughter of Concord Chief Merl Hamilton. “We are heart-broken for him and his family,” Concord Mayor Scott Padgett told The Charlotte Observer. “Chief Hamilton is well-respected here.” Charlotte police have issued a murder warrant and auto theft warrants for 34-year-old Michael Neal Harvey, saying they think he is the man seen on surveillance video leaving a restaurant with Valerie Hamilton last week. The video shows the two of them leaving the Thomas Street Tavern early Wednesday morning. She had not been seen since and her car was found parked near the restaurant. Multiple media outlets reported that investigators went through Hamilton’s apartment and the neighborhood around Thomas Street Tavern several times during the three-day search for the young woman. Detectives interviewed guests at an east Charlotte hotel Saturday evening and Harvey’s home in northern Mecklenburg County was searched Saturday, but he wasn’t home. Investigators are looking for Harvey and a white 1996 Chevrolet Blazer with North Carolina tag ZXE-1756, which he was driving. Multiple media outlets reported that Harvey was convicted of a sex offense in New York and that arrest records show he has been in North Carolina for at least five years. The North Carolina Corrections Department told The Charlotte Observer that Harvey was put on probation after being convicted in Iredell County of felony breaking-and-entering. There is no record of Harvey having served any time in at least six arrests in Mecklenburg County over the past two years. The newspaper reported that his arrest record includes charges of felony breaking-and-entering, larceny, probation violation, heroin possession, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and felony breaking and entering of a motor vehicle.

Southern universities scaling back UNC makes balancing act work as economy forces others to rethink goals BY JEFFREY MCMURRAY Associated Press

ASSOcIATeD PReSS

Lee T. Todd Jr. decided to resign after being frustrated that his drive to make the University of Kentucky a Top 20 research university faltered.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The goal was ambitious, even in brighter economic times. Take the flagship university in one of the nation’s poorest states, one better known for basketball than academics, and transform it into a top 20 public research institution — an exclusive club where the Southeast has always had few members. Yet the University of Kentucky appeared well on its way after launching its top 20 business plan in 2005. Retention and grad-

uation rates skyrocketed. Highly sought administrators and deans were picking UK over more prestigious schools. And the state’s General Assembly was so committed to the cause it bankrolled even more money in the second year than the university requested. Then the economy bottomed out, the funding dried up, and UK President Lee Todd was forced to make some tough choices. “It’s still alive,” Todd said of the plan. “We’re not moving that goal, but it’s a struggle because we’ve got to now kind of re-envision where the money’s going to come

from.” By UK’s internal calculations, it now ranks as the No. 38 public research institution in the country. Only four from the Southeast are among the top 20 on that list — the University of Florida, Georgia Tech University, University of Virginia and University of North Carolina, which many schools from poor Southern states have identified as a model.

Two candidates who have never campaigned for register of deeds face off BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

The race for register of deeds in Rowan County includes an incumbent and a challenger, both of whom are running for this office for the first time. John Brindle, 38, was appointed to finish the term of office that was vacated when Bobbie Earnhardt retired in November 2008. The Gold Hill resident had been working in the office since 2004 as a deputy register. Brindle, a Democrat, says he already knows what is required of the county register

fice and all aspects of operating the office, including the personnel side, the budgeting side and also the day-to-day operations of the office,” he said. Harry Welch Jr., 63, a Republican, has owned Forever Young Productions since 2003 and previously worked at a radio station in Durham. The Salisbury resident said his experience with the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission would help him work within state rules for the register of deeds office. “There’s no industry in the world as over-regulated as

could learn what to do by studying the law. One area where he could make a difference as a newcomer, he said, is customer service. “Times are tough,” he said. “There are a lot of people going bankrupt, and all these different things are hurting them financially. If they come in there ... I think to be greeted with a smile and a friendly hello and good, professional service goes a long way.” Brindle said if re-elected on Nov. 2, he would continue to focus on making the office more efficient and easier for local residents to use. “I’m going to streamline

the office not only to make it better for the users of Rowan County, but also to make it profitable with less expense,” he said. Brindle said some recent projects already have helped accomplish this goal. The office switched to a new software system in November after cutting a vacant position. Among other changes, it now allows marriage license forms to be filled out electronically instead of on a typewriter.

Drink plenty of water, get rest to help with jet lag Q: How do I get over jet lag quickly? A: Yes, you are right! This is my own question. But I thought I would share my findings with you. I have been traveling overseas to Europe for almost 22 years now (yikes!) and I still have not found a magic “fix” to get over jet lag fast. However, this is what I found and exercise is part of it (yeah!). First of all, let me explain what jet lag is: Jet lag is a physiological condition which comes from changes to your interESTER nal clock. It does not just happen with peoMARSH ple who travel over time zones. It can be a problem to people who have shift changes at work, and even that one hour of daylight savings can give you symptoms of jet lag (I can attest to that, too). Typical symptoms of jet lag can be: fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite (no problem here), disorientation, reduced concentration, reduced aerobic performance, reduced anaerobic performance, higher injury rates, reduced dynamic strength, stomach problems, joint swelling and stiffness, and muscle swelling and stiffness. Believe me, it is all worth it, seeing family, new places or exciting business opportunities. It is said that it takes one full day to recover from every time zone you

cross. Research has shown that exercise before, during and after arrival can reduce jet lag symptoms and jet lag time. Eat well, exercise, get plenty of sleep and hydrate well. There is no magic pre-flight exercise program. Research shows that anything, whether it is cardio, interval training or weight training, can be beneficial. During the flight, get up often and move around. Do some simple stretches and exercises. You can do them seated or waiting for the bathroom. My Esterciz and Estelatte didn’t work on the plane. It is not just exercise that can help you overcome jet lag; • Get a full night’s sleep several days before you depart. (Doesn’t work for me…too excited to see my family). • Get and stay well hydrated. • Avoid significant amounts of caffeine and alcohol (But I love my coffee…). • During flight have healthy snacks every three hours. (Done!) • When tired, take up to 30minute naps. • Use ear plugs. • Use light and dark to trigger “awake” cycles. Exercise on your trip as much as you are used to or you can work into your busy schedule. Post-flight moderate or higher intensity workouts will help you get rid of those post-flight “blues” quicker. I am going to bed, real time is 7:30 p.m., but my internal clock says it is 1:30 a.m.

here we lived, on Old Concord Road in Rowan County, was not far from the Rowan County fairgrounds. At fairtime, if one were to leave my yard, cross the road, walk down a ways, go through an opposite neighbor’s yard, and take a short MACK walk WILLIAMS through the woods behind their house, he would come to a fence which enclosed that back area of the fairgrounds. If one were so bold as to attempt and succeed in scaling that fence, he would then be met by a Rowan County deputy, stationed there in the event that someone chose to partake of the fair’s many attractions without paying. I heard of some people trying to do this, but to no avail. During the several days that the fair was held, each night would end with fireworks. As schoolchildren, we would get a free pass for one of those nights. I would attend one evening, enjoying agricultural exhibits, the few rides that my stomach could handle, and the side show attractions, such as

The Snake with the Head of a Man, an occasional minizoo or The Human Pin Cushion. One night, the Rowan County Rescue Squad had to be summoned because The Human Pin Cushion evidently forgot that his anatomy contained something not found in regular pin cushions: arteries. I would attend the fair once, but could still enjoy it from my front yard for several nights at 10 o’clock when the fireworks display began. Those late evenings of fireworks, the glow of the lights of the fair above the distant trees, along with the mixture of the noises of ride machines and multitude of human voices, made the fair seem to be more, in the imagination, than what it really was. When the fireworks were launched, all of this became its own little special world just beyond the trees. Since light travels faster than sound, the explosion of fire and colors would always preceed the deafening audible sound of the detonation. After the colors were gone, there would be just a smoky cloud remaining, illuminated by the fair lights below. That manmade cloud, then behaved as did all of the other nature-made clouds, drifting, blown by the wind to someplace beyond the horizon.

Study calls N.C. best among 10 at protecting voters BY GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press

RALEIGH — North Carolina voters will have unique choices to make this fall when they rank their top three candidates among 13 people seeking a single Court of Appeals seat. While officials are still finalizing the mechanics of how those instant runoff votes will be counted, an outside report examining election policies in what it calls ten “swing” states in the Nov. 2 election provides comfort to some — and a warning from others about a format never used statewide in North Carolina. The study conducted by the election reform group Demos and the good-government Common Cause said North Carolina has the strongest laws by far among the states examined to protect voters. It also said the state does a good job making sure their votes count. They point to laws that allow citizens to register and vote the same day during the early voting period, make it a felony to deliberately attempt to deceive voters with misinformation and count the choices of voters who wind up by mistake at the wrong precinct on Election Day. The other states examined were Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada and Ohio. North Carolina “ranked first among the states in the study in terms of being good for voters,” said report co-author Tova Wang, a senior democracy fellow at Demos. The high marks stem from a 2007 state law creating sameday voter registration in a 2 1/2-week period before a primary or general election and a 2005 law making clear provisional ballots cast in the correct county but wrong precinct must still be counted. The 2005 law and other important changes designed to bring uniformity to state elections were approved in the wake of a legal challenge to the provisional ballots accelerated when an electronic voting machine failed to record

more than 4,400 ballots in Carteret County. “It’s one of the best states. You have a better chance of having your vote counted accurately,” said Joyce McCloy of Winston-Salem, founder of the N.C. Coalition for Verified Voting and a key activist involved in the 2005 law changes. McCloy is worried North Carolina won’t be able to keep its high stature when it carries out a 2006 law for the first time requiring instant runoff voting be used statewide to fill a Court of Appeals judgeship vacated in August. She’s concerned procedures for counting the votes can’t meet current standards and voters won’t be educated enough on the ranking process by November. Last week’s study didn’t examine instant runoff voting, but state Common Cause director Bob Phillips said North Carolina’s ranking on other ballot access measures builds confidence that the results will be credible. “It’s going to be a reliable, accurate count,” Phillips said. “I’m very comfortable with what I’m hearing so far.” State officials are preparing an education campaign about the process. The elections board is preparing to mail voter guides to 4.1 million households that provides information about the 13 candidates and how instant runoffs work. Voters will be asked to rank their top three candidates. If no candidate receives a majority of the first-choice votes, election officials turn to the ballots of voters whose first-choice candidate was eliminated and count how many of them made one of the two top vote-getters their next highest choice. Those choices are added to the original counts of the two leaders. The candidate with the most combined votes is the winner. State elections Executive Director Gary Bartlett said the counting process for counties that use optical scan ballots is ready, but details in counties that use electronic machines — covering 40 percent of all voters — are still being settled.

Why should I work so hard to build equity in my home, to stay out of debt and to pay my bills on time if, in the end, it won't matter? If a score of 599 is destined to become respectable, why bother? It’s as if I’m back in school. Why strive to achieve if I could do just as well in the end by joining the slackers? Who cares if I land a 73 on a midterm? As long as no one comes along with a better score, there’s a chance I'll get a 100 percent. Then I decided to finish reading that FICO report. Though it’s true many scores are dropping, the number of consumers who have a score of 800 or more also has increased in recent years. It seems many people are cutting spending, paying down debt and paying off their mortgages in response to the recession. Good for them, and good for us! My high-school grading angst did not ruin my life, though I was sure it would. As for credit scores, I’m back to believing that doing the right thing is still the right thing to do. It is its own reward, regardless of how the scoring goes.

Looking for a chiropractor ?

Could grading on a curve save your credit score? When I was in high school, teachers were given a lot of latitude when it came to handing out grades. Learning that I had a teacher who graded on a curve sent me into a tizzy. When no student gets 100 percent on a test, the teacher can award the one who scores the highest with the muchcoveted 100 percent. If the best student scores 93 out of 100, 93 becomes the perfect score. That makes everyone else’s score appear better than it really is. MARY In school, I HUNT saw this as a dumb way of grading. If the teacher taught poorly or wrote a test that was too difficult, the truth wouldn’t register because she would tweak all the grades to make herself look good. My thoughts have turned again to grading on a curve. It has come out that the credit scores of millions of Americans are sinking to new lows. Will they be graded on a curve? Consider the FICO 300850 scale. If nearly 43.4 million people have credit scores of 599 or less, all of a sudden 599 might not seem bad to a lender eager to make a deal. It can take several months for negative information reported to one’s credit file to drive down the final credit score. According to the U.S. Labor Department, right now about 26 million people are out of work or underemployed. Many are facing foreclosures, an event that by itself can lop off 150 points from one’s credit score. That’s damage that can take years to restore. In the next year, the average FICO score is likely to drop even further, causing a score of 599 to look pretty darn good.

Dear Amy: I am a 40-yearold mother of two high school sons. I used drugs when I was in college. Many years ago I made the decision that I do not want to disclose this to my kids. I have repeatedly and inclearly formed my 36year-old sister since the children were born that she ASK should not disAMY close this history to them. I just learned that she decided, “it was time for them to know the truth” and told them details of my drug use. My sister has a miserable life due to various health and marriage issues, and I am not sure if I should confront her about this or if I should leave it alone given that she has so many other problems. I feel angry and betrayed, and am not sure what to do. I believe that bringing this up with her may just make things worse. What do you think I should do? — Unsure Dear Unsure: Ironically, you may have brought on this disclosure by emphasizing the need for secrecy with someone who can’t be trusted. This is like dangling knowledge of an actor’s extramarital affair in front of a tabloid. Your drug use is old news, but now that your sons know your sister’s version of your life story, you should put yourself back in charge. Sit down with your sons and tell them that while you didn’t want their aunt to disclose your personal business, now that she has, you’re available to talk. If they have questions, answer them honestly. If you feel the information they’re asking for is none of their business or beside the point, then tell them so, nicely. If you don’t want them to take drugs, then say so. If they think this makes you a hypocrite, then — well, that’s the price of your honesty.

I agree with you that discussing this further with your sister is a nonstarter. Don’t go there. Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. We recently split up, and on the first night of our separation, he went off and slept with another girl — one I’ve never met! We got back together a week later. Once I told him I would give him another chance, he decided to tell me about her! I was really crushed — especially thinking that we were so in love — how could he do that? He told me, “it’s just what guys do!” He said I could ask anyone. Amy, I feel that if you’re really in love, you should not go out and have sex with someone else — certainly if you’ve been broken up for less than a day! What are your thoughts? — Confused Thinker Dear Confused: Speaking very generally, men and women do seem to have different ideas of what is acceptable, sexually. This disconnect creates the tension driving many letters to this column, countless episodes of “Friends” and the entire Judd Apatow oeuvre. Your guy was instantly honest with you about this, which actually buttresses his argument somewhat. If he thought he had committed a serious romance crime, he likely wouldn’t have been so forthcoming. After you get tested for STDs, you two need to discuss your sexual values. You now know what your boyfriend will do if you break up — but if you stay together and have a fight, will your guy express his frustration and hurt by sleeping with someone else? You should find out. Dear Amy: “Frustrated Father” was upset because his family always vacationed with the in-laws. I’ve been married to my wife for slightly more than 50 years. We have always vacationed with her family. My family was largely ignored. My wife has always known I wanted time away from her family; she ignored me and invited them — and later, her mother alone — to be with us, even though she knew that wasn’t what I wanted. I never had the courage to insist that it be different. She always got her way because I

Urgent Message For Kannapolis Area Type II Diabetes Sufferers…

What You Don’t Know About Managing Your Type II Diabetes Might Surprise You…

Too many area Kannapolis diabetics are needlessly suffering with debilitating pain, weight gain, low energy, fatigue, and overall poor health… For Some Open Minded Diabetic Patients… Effective, natural support strategies appear to offer new hope & new vigor

Kannapolis, North Carolina – Americans suffering with type II diabetes are unfortunately members of a growing fraternity. Kannapolis area diabetic sufferers are no different. The saddest news of all is the fact that as the number of diagnosed diabetes patients is climbing at alarming rates… the treatments TYPICALLY attempt to just control blood sugar and hope that it doesn’t worsen. Even with the medications and support from their doctor, many diabetes patients worry about progression of the disease and the unpleasant side effects. Even if your medication levels are minimal & symptoms are “under control”… it’s understood and widely accepted that type II diabetes is a PROGRESSIVE condition and it’s typically expected that patients can expect weight gain and inactivity which can affect the musculoskeletal system, cause fatigue, weakness, difficulty exercising, circulation problems, (list goes on) and overall poor quality of life IN SPITE OF common conventional and traditional mainstream efforts…

New Hope For Individuals With Type II Diabetes

“Bottom line is that I don’t believe that a diagnosis of type II diabetes should be a promise of misery, degeneration and debilitation. Research from Harvard School of Medicine and Duke University conclude that Type II Diabetes is a disease of poor nutrition and lifestyle.” This was the sentiment of long time patient advocate Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC. “Every effort should be made to provide dietary, weight loss, and exercise support to prevent obesity and progression. My protocols are designed to help diabetes patients get healthier, lose weight, and feel more energetic, support healthy joint and muscle function, be pain free and vibrant. The good news is that when they get healthier and feeling better, often times their dependence on medication and downward spiral significantly improves or in some cases completely goes away. But most importantly is the fact that when they feel better, look better and are living the lives of quality and fun that they deserve to live... that’s all that matters.”

A Completely FREE All-Natural Diabetes Opportunity!

Dr. Matthews at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center has introduced his allnatural Diabetes health & wellness support protocol and it is meeting with RAVE reviews It has always been thought that diabetes patients really had no alternatives other than from many members of the community. take the drugs and “just live with it.” However, a local doctor is offering some unique and To see if you qualify for his program you can get your FREE All-Natural Health and exciting opportunities to these long time suffering patients.

Kannapolis Doctor Advocates For Local Diabetes Patients…

Most every diabetes sufferer wants to feel better, look better, have more energy, save money, avoid excessive medication, avoid becoming disabled and have a good quality of life. Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC and the staff at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center are working near capacity to accommodate all of the patients they’ve opened their doors to. The fact that this remarkable doctor has opened his doors at ZERO cost for those to discover if they might be helped by these unique, natural nutrition and detoxification support protocols is truly amazing and the appreciation from the community is obvious. Dr. Matthews reports that they have had an overwhelming response, however by calling the Kannapolis Diabetes Hotline you can STILL get in to see the doctor at no cost… provided appointments are available.

Kannapolis Diabetes Hotline (704) 935-5465 “I have been seeing the doctor for six months for my Type II Diabetes. I was taking insulin twice daily. I found it very hard to focus and I did not have any energy. I am now off insulin. I can’t believe how much energy I have. It is much easier to travel without syringes!! I am now working on decreasing my oral prescriptions.

Due to the doctor’s motivation, the diet and supplements, I have lost 40 pounds. All the aches and pains that I thought was arthritis are gone. Everyone in the office has been outstanding. They always have a smile on their face and are so helpful and caring.” ~ Lawrence G.

“I read about Dr. Matthews in the newspaper and I gave him a call and luckily I got on his program. When I started on the program, I had really high sugar. My morning sugars were up around 300 and I needed to do something about it. So I started Dr. Matthews’ program and since I’ve been on the program, I’ve quit taking my insulin. I was taking 35 units twice a day and my blood sugar was still running high. Since I’ve been on the program, I’ve lost 10 pounds and my sugar has dropped to 140. I feel a whole lot better.” ~ Jack S. “I had been to three other diabetes doctors and they couldn’t figure out why they couldn’t get my sugar count down. It was in the 400 range. I averaged about 250 most of the time. Since I have been on Dr. Matthews’ program for three weeks, his nutrition and supplements he gave me, I’m now down to 80 sugar counts. I feel great and sleep all night long now. I don’t have cravings for chocolate and milk in the middle of the night. I am a completely different person since I’ve been on Dr. Matthews’ program.” ~ Phil R.

Cult members safe: Leader of sect in California hospitalized at the notion that they might harm themselves, Parker said. A sheriff’s deputy had spoken to members of the group at 3 a.m. Saturday while they were praying in their parked vehicles outside of a Palmdale high school, Parker said. When the deputy made contact, adults in the group told him they were praying against violence in schools and

against sexual immorality, specifically premarital sex. The 13 adults and children appeared safe and the deputy went on his way. Chicas used to be a member of Iglesia De Cristo Miel, a Christian congregation in Palmdale, but left about two years ago without much explanation, according to the pastor.

PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — The leader of a breakaway religious sect was hospitalized Sunday for a mental evaluation after members of her group went missing and left behind evidence that they were awaiting the rapture or some catastrophic event. Reyna Marisol Chicas was placed under a 72-hour mandatory hold after it was determined she was not able to care for herself or others, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Kim. Chicas gave investigators a false name and was rambling during questioning, Kim said. She told deputies she had no children, even though her two kids were with her. Ending a frantic search, deputies found Chicas and 12 others just before noon at Jackie Robinson Park near Palmdale after getting a tip from a local resident, said sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore. He said all members are safe. Officers had been searching a wide swath of Southern California since Saturday after family members found letters saying the group was awaiting an apocalyptic event and would soon see Jesus and their dead relatives in heaven. The group of El Salvadoran immigrants described as “cult-like” by sheriff’s officials, was led by Chicas, a 32-

sarah shourd walks in with her mother, Nora, for a news conference sunday detailing her time as a captive in iran for more than 13 months. she was accused of spying.

Woman who was held in Iran says she’s not a spy, takes no questions NEW YORK (AP) — An American woman who was held in Iran for more than 13 months and accused of espionage said Sunday she and two men detained with her never spied or committed any crime, calling their arrest “a huge misunderstanding.” Discussing her experience at the most length since her release Tuesday, Sarah Shourd underscored her gratitude at being released but said she felt only “one-third free” because her fiance, Shane Bauer, and their friend Josh Fattal remain in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison. “This is not the time to celebrate,” Shourd, 32, said at a New York news conference. “The only thing that enabled me to cross the gulf from prison to freedom alone was the knowledge that Shane and Josh wanted with all their hearts for my suffering to end.” Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly. He later met with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to discuss developments in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East as well as efforts to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, the U.N. spokesperson’s office said. Ahmadinejad told The Associated Press, “We’re very glad that that lady was released. (Due) to the humanitarian perspective the Islamic Republic chose to adopt on the subject, she was released on bail. And we hope that the other two will soon be able to prove and provide evidence to the court that they had no ill intention in crossing the border, so that their release can also be secured.” Tying the case to Iran’s assertion that some of its citi-

zens are being held unjustly in the United States, he said, “It certainly does not give us joy when we see people in prison, wherever in the world that may be, and even when we think of prisoners here.” Composed but occasionally pausing when her voice wavered with emotion, Shourd thanked Iranians and Ahmadinejad in a carefully scripted return that spoke to the continuing delicacy of her situation. She didn’t take questions or discuss the conditions in which she’d been held, walking away from the podium at a Manhattan hotel hand-in-hand with her mother, Nora, before Fattal’s and Bauer’s mothers answered reporters’ queries. Iran has issued espionagerelated indictments against her, Bauer and Fattal; the indictments could bring trials for the two men and proceedings in absentia for Shourd. But Shourd stressed their innocence in a case that has added to the roster of tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The three were detained in July 2009 after Iranian officials said they intentionally crossed the country’s border from Iraq. Echoing accounts their families have given in their absence, Shourd said Sunday that the three had been hiking in a popular tourist area — near a waterfall in Iraq’s Kurdistan region — and had no idea the border

was nearby. “If we were indeed near the Iraq-Iran border, that border was entirely unmarked and indistinguishable,” she said. “Shane and Josh do not deserve to be in prison one day longer than I was,” she said. “We committed no crime and we are not spies. We in no way intended any harm to the Iranian government or its people and believe a huge misunderstanding led to our detention and prolonged imprisonment.” Shourd’s mother has said she had health problems including a breast lump and precancerous cervical cells. Shourd said Sunday that doctors in Oman, where she went immediately after her release, had determined she was physically well. Officials in Oman — an ally of both Iran and the United States — mediated a $500,000 bail for Shourd that satisfied Iranian authorities and apparently did not violate U.S. economic sanctions against Iran. The source of the bail payment has not been disclosed. After 410 days in Iranian custody, “I walked out of prison with my spirit bruised but unbroken,” she said. Shourd and Bauer had been living together in Damascus, Syria, where Bauer was working as a freelance journalist and Shourd as an English teacher. Fattal, an environmental activist and a fellow graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, came to visit them last July, and the three went hiking. She added that she hoped their experience would provide “an opportunity for Americans and Iranians to realize that an improved relationship would be in the best interest of all people.”

‘Go for broke’ veterans: House to vote on medal for WWII service HONOLULU (AP) — Ronald Oba grew up saluting the U.S. flag and saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school, like millions of other American boys. But he was labeled an “enemy alien” after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, because his ancestors came from the same land as the attacking planes. To prove his loyalty, Oba joined the Army as soon as President Franklin D. Roosevelt allowed JapaneseAmericans to enlist. His segregated unit — the 442nd Regimental Combat Team — soon became the most highly decorated military unit in U.S. history for its size and length of service. This month, Congress is expected to award its highest honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, to Oba and others who fought, even as their countrymen viewed them with suspicion and distrust. Many wore the uniform while their families spent the war in detention camps back home. The honorees would include some 6,000 JapaneseAmericans who served as translators and interpreters against Japan, often on the front lines with Marines and soldiers fighting from island

where the 442nd, which absorbed the previously established Japanese-American unit, the 100th Infantry Battalion, during the war, pushed its way through Italy and France. The area covers the Vosges Mountains, where the unit suffered 800 casualties maneuvering through fog and dense forest against hidden German machine guns to rescue the trapped “Lost Battalion” of the nearly all-Texan 36th Division. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who took a break from college to enlist and lost his right arm fighting in Italy, said he didn’t help draft the bill because he would be honored by it. But the Hawaii Democrat said the medal would give the veterans “a jolt of joy.” “Keep in mind, there were some who volunteered from behind barbed wires. We in Hawaii volunteered knowing that we were ’enemy aliens.’

ronald oba, from left, George Nakasato and William thompson were members of the 442nd regimental combat team that may be awarded a congressional Gold Medal. to island across the Pacific. The elite medal has been given selectively since 1776, when George Washington was awarded the first. Other honorees include the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Rosa Parks and the Dalai Lama. Congress awarded the medal to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first group of black fighter pilots, in 2006. Oba is grateful, saying the medal would spread awareness about the veterans. “We appreciate our legacy

being carried on,” Oba, now 87, said in an interview at the Honolulu clubhouse for 442nd veterans. “Finally, they’re recognizing our contribution during World War II.” Just outside the clubhouse is a memorial listing the names of nearly 800 JapaneseAmerican soldiers killed in action. A plaque spells out the unit’s motto — “Go for broke” — a Pidgin, or Hawaii Creole English, expression meaning “give it your all.” A large granite map shows

And that’s not easy,” Inouye said. The senator hopes the award will come soon because the youngest unit members are in the their mid-80s and only about a third are still alive. “I just hope that Congress will pass it in time so that some of us may look upon and reflect and say that it was all worth it,” said Inouye, who turned 86 this month. The House is expected to vote on the measure as early as this week. The Senate unanimously passed the bill last month. Harold Fudenna, a Military Intelligence Service translator who served while his parents were at an internment camp, died before he could be honored. The California native was listening to radio communications in New Guinea in 1943 when he intercepted a Japanese message specifying the time Admiral Isoroku Ya-

mamoto — the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor — would be flying to inspect his troops. Fudenna’s translation allowed the U.S. to shoot down Yamamoto’s plane, dealing a severe blow to Japanese morale. Gen. Douglas MacArthur called the feat “one of the singularly most significant actions of the Pacific War.” Keith Fudenna said his father, who died in 1993 at the age of 75, would be pleased by the medal but would deflect any honors directed at him personally. The elder Fudenna always said he was only doing his duty. “He did not think that what he did was that big of a thing, and there were many others who were more courageous and their stories should be highlighted more than his,” said Keith Fudenna, who is an Alameda County Superior Court judge in California.

SHEFFIELD, Vt. (AP) — State police probing the disappearance of a 78-year-old grandmother are appealing for help from anyone who took photographs or video at a Labor Day event her son says she attended in her tiny town. Pat O’Hagan worked as a volunteer at the Sept. 6 event in Sheffield, a town so small it has no stores and no stoplights, her son Shawn O’Hagan said Sunday. Police are following up on all avenues in their investigation, he said. Pat O’HaO’HAGAN gan, a widow and grandmother of nine, was reported missing from her home Sept. 11, just days after the Sheffield event, when a friend arrived to pick her up for a rug-hooking meeting and she wasn’t there. Police believe she was abducted from her home. Authorities say she’s mentally alert and there’s no reason to believe she wandered off. Detectives continued following up leads over the weekend. Area all-terrain vehicle clubs and volunteer fire departments pitched in. On Sunday, state police asked to hear from anyone who recorded images at the annual Sheffield Field Day event. But the police would have no further comment on their interest in the event, spokeswoman Sgt. Tara Thomas said. FBI agents have joined the search. O’Hagan, who’s originally from Chelmsford, Mass., moved with her husband to northern Vermont about 15 years ago, and they renovated a deteriorating white clapboard house before he died in 2001, her son Terry O’Hagan said. She lives alone and likes camping and kayaking, her family says.

NEW YORK (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said “the future belongs to Iran,” and challenged the United States to accept that his country has a major role in the world. The comments came in an hourlong interview with the Associated Press on the first day of his visit to the United States to attend the annual general assembly of the United Nations. He insisted that his government does not want an atomic bomb — something he has said in the past — and that Iran is only seeking peace and a nuclear-free world. He gave no indication of when Iran would resume talks on its nuclear program and said any anti-nuclear sanctions against his government would have no effect on his government’s policies. Appearing calm and self-assured, the Iranian president said he was pleased about the release of American hiker Sarah Shourd from a prison in Tehran, but said her two companions still in prison would have to prove their innocence on charges that they illegally crossed into the country. “The United States’ administrations ... must recognize that Iran is a big power,” he said. “Having said that, we consider ourselves to be a human force and a cultural power and hence a friend of other nations. We have never sought to dominate others or to violate the rights of any other country.

Car bombs tear through Baghdad, Fallujah; at least 36 dead BAGHDAD (AP) — Three car bombs tore through Baghdad and the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, killing at least 36 people. The blasts in the capital were so powerful they sheared the sides off buildings and left streets choked with chunks of rubble. It was the worst violence since the U.S. military dropped to 50,000 troops in Iraq and formally declared an end to combat operations on Sept. 1, saying Iraqi forces were up to the task of protecting their own country. Insurgents have hammered Iraqi forces and government buildings, capitalizing on gaps in security as the U.S. scales back its military mission and Iraqi politicians fail to overcome divisions and form a new government after national elections in March. Most of those killed in Sunday’s apparently coordinated attacks in Baghdad were civilians, and residents of the areas bombed directed their anger at a government they feel has left the city vulnerable to attacks.

Senate candidate jokes about old witchcraft comments LINCOLN, Del. (AP) — Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is making light of comments she made more than a decade ago about having dabbled in witchcraft when she was in high school. “How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school?” she asked fellow Republicans at a GOP picnic in southern Delaware. “There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now,” O’Donnell jokingly assured the crowd. Rove, the former GOP O’DONNELL strategist and adviser to President George W. Bush, has suggested that O’Donnell’s win in last week’s GOP primary cost Republicans a chance to retake the Senate seat long held by Democrat Joe Biden before he became vice president. O’Donnell, a conservative Christian activist, rode a tide of tea party activism to an upset victory over GOP moderate Michael Castle. She faces Democratic county executive Chris Coons in November. O’Donnell’s comments about witchcraft were made during a 1999 taping of comedian Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show.

Study gives hope to those suffering with asthma LOS ANGELES (AP) — Researchers say they’ve found a possible new treatment for adults with hard-to-control asthma. Their discovery, however, came at a price. Scientists of a U.S. government-funded asthma study had to spend nearly $1 million of taxpayers’ money after British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline PLC declined to donate its asthma drug and look-alike dummy medicine for the study, which compared two other treatments. Editors of the New England Journal of Medicine, which published the study, chastised Glaxo, saying its actions made the research harder and more expensive to do. Drug companies aren’t required to supply their medicines for study, but they often do.

of Mexico, five agonizing months after an explosion sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government’s point man on the disaster, said Sunday BP’s well “is effectively dead” and posed no further threat to the Gulf after a pressure test ensured the cement plug would hold. The gusher was contained in mid-July after a temporary cap was successfully fitted atop the well. Mud and cement were later pushed down through the top of the well, allowing the cap to be removed. But the well could not be declared dead until a relief well was drilled so that the ruptured well could be sealed from the bottom.

“In the end, the study results provided the truth” — the drug, Spiriva, was as good as Glaxo’s Serevent, they wrote. The study was published online Sunday to coincide with a presentation at a medical meeting in Barcelona, Spain. About 300 million people worldwide suffer from asthma. In the U.S., 22 million Americans have asthma, which kills about 4,000 a year. For people who can’t control their asthma with inhaled steroid medicine, current guidelines call for doubling the dose or adding a different drug that relaxes the muscles to help patients breathe. Researchers tested three inhaled treatments: doubling the steroid dose, adding Glaxo’s Serevent or adding

Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva, which is approved for emphysema and other lung conditions, but not asthma. The study involved 210 people whose asthma was not well controlled. They took each drug for 14 weeks with two-week breaks in between treatment. Researchers found Spiriva worked better than a double steroid dose and was as effective as Serevent. When the study first began, patients on average had 77 asthma-free days a year — days in which they had no symptoms and did not have to use their rescue inhaler. Doubling the steroid medicine gave patients an extra 19 asthma-free days; taking Spiriva gave them an additional 48 days, and taking Serevent gave them 51 days.

HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — Fierce waves pounded Bermuda’s breakwaters and shores Sunday night, straining yacht moorings and battering oceanfront hotels as a weakened Hurricane Igor lashed the wealthy British enclave. Bermudians battened down their homes in pelting rain to wait out Igor, which was barely a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph as it swirled close to the island after dark. The wind whipsawed trees and flagpoles in downtown Hamilton. Power failed in many spots, but there were no early reports of major damage, Earlier in the day, some storm-seasoned islanders ventured outside to gawk at the 15foot surf or to triple-tie boat moorings even as officials warned them to stay indoors. Those who did venture outside were met with howling winds, and gusts of hurricane force were reported by midday. Flooding was reported in low-lying areas and streets in downtown Hamilton, the capital, were covered in several inches of water and littered with tree branches and other debris. Igor’s eye was expected to pass over or very close to Bermuda, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. With hurricane-force winds extending up to 90 miles from the storm’s eye, even a near-miss could cause substantial damage. The storm was expected to veer northeast — away from the United States — after passing Bermuda. But forecasters said it would continue causing high surf and strong rip currents along the U.S. eastern seaboard.

If eligible to participate, you will be seen by a study doctor and receive study-related testing and medication at no cost. If enrolled, you will receive financial compensation for time and travel.

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”

Many get N.C. raises amid cuts R

My turn: Rebecca Little

Please stop making a mess of Salisbury I

ALEIGH — Times haven’t been so tough for some state employ-

ees. It seems some 2,673 state workers got discretionary raises last year, even while their counterparts in state government haven’t received raises the last two years. The News & Observer of Raleigh recently reported that those 2,673 workers SCOTT raises up MOONEYHAM got to 10 percent even though their job titles didn’t change and even as legislators whacked hundreds of millions out of state government. Not surprisingly, some of the raises went to administrators on the high-end of the state pay scale. State government refers to these increase as “in-range salary adjustments.” Those handing them out justify the raises by pointing to increased job responsibilities as other positions have been slashed. Many pay hikes also went to workers who moved from trainee to permanent status. No doubt, budget cuts over the last two years have translated into more state employees doing more and doing it with less. Even so, the likelihood that the bulk of those raises went to the middle managers that make state government run is probably pretty slim. And the timing, coming when many private sector workers faced layoffs, couldn’t have been worse. Another part of the state personnel puzzle that creates the potential for abuse is the use of contractors in jobs that could be done by salaried workers. For the last few years, legislators have been pushing state agencies to move some computer technology-related contractors into state positions. Here’s why: On contract, some earn $300,000 or more a year, with hourly rates topping $150; as an agency chief information officer recently told me, the savings to move one of those jobs to a state salaried position will typically range from 25 to 40 percent. Most state agencies have been complying with the legislative mandate; others have been doing a little foot-dragging. The result of that footdragging is that some information technology contractors have essentially become state workers, working exclusively for the same state agency for seven, eight or even 10 years. If the state could save just 20 percent on pay of $200,000 a year, over eight years the savings would total $320,000 on a single worker. The bad times, though, aren’t likely to continue selectively skipping over some in state government. In the next fiscal year, state leaders will be forced to close a budget gap projected at $3 billion. If Republicans take control over even one chamber of the legislature, they’ll likely push to allow a two-year, $1 billion tax hike to expire on schedule. It’s hard to see how that kind of budget gap is closed without doing something that will be especially galling to state employees: unpaid furloughs or outright salary cuts. If it comes to that, maybe the salary cutting should start by doing away with any of those discretionary salary hikes approved at a time when most in state government got nothing more. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government issues for Capitol Press Association.

LETTERS We need legislative reform, not tax reform I read with interest your reprint of the Winston-Salem Journal’s editorial concerning “tax reform” for North Carolina (Sept. 16 edition). This “tax reform” — read as “a way to collect more taxes while losing as few voters as possible” — has been on the N.C. legislative docket now for a few years as our state legislators try to figure out how to collect more taxes in order to pay for more and more “government.” What our legislators, at both the state and federal level, don’t seem to understand is that every dollar that is removed from the taxpayers’ pockets represents dollars that could be spent to support local businesses which would allow those businesses to provide jobs for thousands of unemployed taxpayers who would, in turn, spend millions of dollars to support other local businesses that could provide jobs, taxes and … but, you get the picture. North Carolina doesn’t need additional taxes or new ways to tax. North Carolina needs legislators who are honest and committed to sound fiscal planning designed to determine not just what services the taxpayers want, but what they can actually afford to pay for. North Carolina needs legislators who understand that the problem of a hole in the dike is to plug the hole — not to find more water. Many of our current legislators at both the state and federal level don’t understand that. We need to replace them with ones that do. — Jeff Ketner Salisbury

No level of proof will satisfy ‘birthers’ The “birthers” are back. What level of proof, if any, would they accept? President Obama’s birth certificate can be seen on the website http://fightthesmears.com/ articles/5/birthcertificate for those who care to look. Politifact has also researched the issue (www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2009/jul/28/worldnetdaily/bir thers-claim-gibbs-lied-when-hesaid-obamas-birt/) and concluded this is all a lie. For the rest of the “birthers” who will never believe, what proof do you have of your own citizenship? What level of proof would they accept? Hawaii says he is, the U.S. Passport Office issued a passport to then Mr. Obama based on his birth certificate, none of his opponents questioned his status and the man with the most to gain, Senator McCain, verbally chastised anyone who raised the issue, on national television. This question has never been raised in the 60 years of my memory, until now. Could it be that being the first African-

American president has something to do with this sudden interest in his citizenship? Would someone read Article VI of the United States Constitution to Mr. Warren and his fellow travelers, particularly the last phrase: “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” President Obama’s religious views or lack of them is none of anyone’s business, including Mr. Warrens’ (Sept. 17 letter). For that matter, just out of curiosity, how does he define Christian? Someone who goes to his church? Who looks like him, thinks like him, and generally agrees with him? Does Mr. Warren reject the right of Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, agnostics and atheists to ruin for office and be elected? How about homosexuals, i.e. Log Cabin Republicans? Put bluntly, all of this smacks of the kind of bigotry featured by the Know-Nothing Party of the 1850s, not today’s America. — John P. Burke Salisbury

walk, almost daily, to the library and back. In the course of my walks I get a lot of friendly waves and “hello-howare-you’s.” That’s the part of walking in Salisbury, besides looking at the wonderful old buildings, that I love the best. The part I don’t love in the least is the litter. Styrofoam cups, fast-food containers, cans, cigarette packages, a box of condoms (I didn’t look to see if it was full or empty), paper slips from the ATM, cigarette butts, candy wrappers, straws, packaging from a battery for a drill, packaging for a box cutter or similar-sized hand tool, broken glass bottles, broken mirrors from vehicles, more drink cups, empty cola botRebecca T. tles, two hospiLittle is a writer tal arm bands, living in Saliscellophane, a bury. Harley Davidson sticker, a check (which I mailed to the person whose name was on it), a cutup credit card, scratch-off lottery tickets, bottle caps, a gas tank lid, lots of bags from chips, a single condom (several blocks away from the box), a strand of Nerds Rope, lots of grocery store scratch-off cards, a box of Chewy Atomic Fireballs, more assorted bits of paper, a tube of lip balm, a wrapper from a grape-flavored cigar and oodles of unidentifiable junk ... and that’s just the things that I remember seeing today. The fact is our streets, sidewalks and the edges of our lawns are full of litter. There is one part of my walk where I pass bushes that have been cut down. An unsightly profusion of trash clutters the pine bark that was beneath those bushes. Where there are still rows of bushes standing, well there’s waste trapped in there, too. I have to ask myself, do we care so little about our city? Yes, I’ve seen you at it. Lady in the black SUV, you had your hand out of the window holding a bit of litter. I watched you “accidentally” drop it. Did you think no one would notice? I’ve also seen cigarette butts be flicked out of car windows. Do you think the Cigarette Butt Fairy is going to come along behind you and clean that up? I realize that some trash is accidental. It slides off the dash and out the window or blows off the back of a truck. Maybe your toddler decided to see what happens when stuff goes out the window. It happens. The amount of refuse I am seeing simply cannot be attributed to accident alone, however. People are intentionally and willfully throwing things out of their vehicles. You’re making a mess of our beautiful old city. Please stop! If you’re a visitor tossing stuff out, please have the decency to not litter while you enjoy our hospitality. If you live here and litter, shame on you! Please begin making the little bit of extra effort it takes to get your trash to a garbage can. Let’s take more pride in our city and do what it takes to get rid of the litter. A walk down our streets shouldn’t include an obstacle course of debris.

DEEDS FROM 1a

FROM 1a lic and Land-grant Universities, said UNC has been effective because it has found the proper balance between being a national player in research while still providing the education badly needed for its state. Although Shulenburger says it’s encouraging that others in the South are trying to follow, he cautions that a university must first direct its precious dollars at programs that most benefit the residents. Overall rankings are probably less important when times are tough, he said. “I suggest they sharpen the ambition,” Shulenburger said. “Find the part of the rankings that really benefits your students in your state, and work on that individual element. Make sure what you’re trying to maximize really makes your state and university better off if you succeed.” The situation so disturbed Todd that, shortly after talking with a reporter about the plan, he announced he would step down after 10 years as president of UK when his contract expires in June. One trustee said, while the board wanted the 64-year-old Todd to stay on, he had become “depressed” about the university’s financial condition and the inability to raise faculty salaries. “He just really felt beat,” said Trustee Billy Joe Miles. UK isn’t the only university in the South shouldering the tough economic conditions just as it was getting started on a major push to move up the higher-Ed rankings. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn., and Clemson University in South Carolina also have outlined such goals and are determined to keep them going despite the shortterm pains. With a challenge from Tennessee’s governor, UT Knoxville launched its plan earlier this year in the middle of the recession. Although there have been some costcutting efforts, such as a limit to the number of courses a student can drop, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said waiting until conditions improved would simply put the school further behind. “The journey is much more important than the destination,” he said. Although schools tend to set their own benchmarks and keep internal lists of the perceived competition, an independent ranking by U.S. News & World Report published last month lists Clemson as the No. 23 public university. That is just three off the school’s top20 goal set in 2001, when it barely cracked the top 40. Cathy Sams, the university’s chief public affairs officer, said Clemson might be there already if not for some major budget cuts — including $25 million last year. That has meant downsizing, includ-

“Continue with projects to save taxpayer dollars.” Brindle said the office will continue to scan old indexes, preserving them and allowing genealogists to search them online, and find other ways to make the office more efficient and easy to use.

“The economy and the constant decrease in our operating budget. We have gotten more done with less for quite a while, and we continue to do that because we have a staff here that's effective and efficient.”

“Though it's public information, there is information there that is private, and we want to keep it just that — private.” Brindle said his office has removed tens of thousands of social security numbers and driver’s license numbers from public view.

“Each person on the team — whether they're an assistant or associate register — is to be very professional and do all we can to help people.”

“I think it’s the economy. Home builders have suffered, and people that are trying to develop land have suffered.” Welch said when fewer deeds and contracts are being recorded, less money is generated for the people of Rowan County.

ing the loss of about 90 faculty positions, most of them through attrition and retirement incentives. Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges, said investing in research — a key component of many of these plans — actually could soften the recession’s blow in the South. “Research tends to spawn off business, so it may not be as difficult as we think it’s going to be,” Wheelan said. At UK, Todd has insisted that the increase in research spending continue, even amid cost-cutting moves such as pay freezes and tuition increases. He has tried to find cuts without layoffs, doing such things as asking athletics, the university-owned hospital, parking and others to start handling operational expenses once absorbed by the university.

Not all the changes have been popular with students or faculty, but Todd said once research dollars are scaled back, the battle is essentially lost because the schools currently in the top 20 aren’t cutting. “They’re not sitting still,” Todd said. “I’ve yet to hear a president say, ‘We’re ready to drop out of the top 20. Come and get us.’ ” Todd said his goal for Kentucky to join the top 20 fraternity was what the legislature mandated in 1997. He said states with a top 20 school have household incomes well above the national average and rates of child poverty and Medicaid enrollment well below it. Todd acknowledged the school hasn’t seen much positive movement in the rankings since the budget cuts. “Holding our own right now is pretty good, because it’s tough,” he said.

Four killed in crash near Raleigh DUDLEY (AP) — The North Carolina Highway Patrol says four people have died in a two-car collision near the town of Dudley. Troopers told multiple media outlets that 20-yearold Jeremy Elijah Bryant Pate of Dudley was driving a Chrysler Sebring that collided Saturday evening with a pickup truck driven by 41year-old Gordon Lane of Mount Olive. Both drivers were killed as were two others inside the Chrysler, 21-year-old

Joseph Lee Carter and 20year-old Jerrod Roddick McKiver. Both men were from Dudley. Troopers said Pate was speeding and trying to pass another car when he collided head-on the truck near the town of Dudley about 60 miles southeast of Raleigh. Troopers say no one in the third car was injured.

HOUSTON (AP) — Three children were found shot dead in their beds Sunday at a suburban Houston apartment building, and their father was charged with their murders after surviving an apparent suicide attempt, authorities said. Muhammed Goher, 47, was charged with three counts of capital murder in the Sunday morning shootings, said Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Jamie Wagner. Goher was in stable condition Sunday afternoon at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, where he was being treated for what investigators say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, Wagner said. A sheriff’s office statement said he was expected to survive. Goher’s two daughters, ages 14 and 7, and a 12-yearold son were killed in the shootings, which were reported around 9:45 a.m. The apartment is attached to a convenience store where Goher worked, about three miles south of Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. Goher is divorced from the children’s mother, Norma Goher, but had court-ordered visitation rights, according to the statement. Those rights were to be the subject of a Sept. 27 court hearing in Houston. However, Goher received the children Friday afternoon and was to have returned them to their mother Sunday afternoon, authorities said. A female baby-sitter reported seeing Goher with a handgun leaving the apartment before hearing a gunshot.

Brindle said his office has redacted more than 45,000 Social Security numbers from public records, and driver’s licence numbers also have been removed from public view. They are still continuing to identify and hide this information. “By doing that, we’re keeping public information public and private information just that — private,” Brindle said. Welch said this effort should be commended, but it also should be expected of a register of deeds. If elected, Welch said he would make sure the process of removing private information from public view was as thorough and efficient as possible. “I would like to protect privacy of everybody that has something listed as much as law will let me,” he said.

After his six weeks of study, Buxton visited Yellowstone, and drove back across the country, stopping in Sioux Falls to visit the Iverson family. “I called the Methodist church and asked if Elda’s mother was still living,” he said. She was, and he went to visit. Buxton asked about the kids, and got every Iverson girl’s address, “but I only wrote Elda,” he said. In the spring of 1974 she wrote Buxton back and asked him to visit her in New Jersey, so he did, and took along three students who were from the area. “It was quite a trip,” he said. The car broke down in Richmond, Va., got fixed around midnight that Friday, and as he was taking the students home, he ran into “tremendous storms,” he said. “I finally got to Elda’s in New Jersey about 5 p.m. Saturday,” he said. “I got lost on the way. Her father gave me directions, and she gave me directions — but I followed her father’s directions instead of hers.” “All day I thought, what have I done, and thought I was out of my mind,” Elda said. “I just kept waiting. “And then, he walked up the walk, and it was like he just walked away a few days ago.” “We hadn’t seen each other in 30 years,” Buxton said.

When Buxton was a professor at Catawba, he took his students on field trips to the coast and mountains of North Carolina every semester. “When we went on field trips, I liked to see the students grow and react,” he said. “I didn’t demand things of students. I tried to show them things — biological organisms — things they can see. I let them develop their own concepts on the things we talked about. “They enjoyed the freedom of being able to make their own decisions about things.” Students got to go out on a boat and sift through organisms caught in nets, or walk through marshes. The students usually camped together, and at night as things were winding down, Buxton played the harmonica — tunes he remembered as a child on his father’s farm. “I believe strongly that students, especially in biology, need field experience,” he said. Buxton hired Dr. Steve Coggin, a biology professor who is the current dean of the biology department. “He was curious about everything and he demonstrated that in the lab, and in the fields,” Coggin said. “He had a profound interest in all of life. One of his great joys was taking students on field trips. “He was excited about everything he saw, and that excitement was communicated to all the students in a personal way.” Buxton also hired Dr. Michael Baranski, a current biology professor at Catawba, and they taught together for 13 years. “Dr. Buxton was a very enthusiastic teacher and he loved his students,” Baranski said. “He’s a fine gentleman. He’s a good man. He was a very well respected member of the department.” While Buxton was at Catawba, his wife passed away in 1973, the same year he received a grant from the

Three years ago, he traveled to Guatemala to build a clinic, climbing onto scaffolding to help others build the concrete church. “The adults were very, very appreciative of what we were doing,” he said. In all, Buxton has been on 38 mission trips to build things. The trips began with Hurricane Hugo relief, and spread across the country to Atlanta for flood relief, and Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina relief. “I literally learned to build a house and worked with every aspect of construction when I did Habitat,” he said. “There’s a real thrill in seeing people’s response in the appreciation of the work we did. It made you feel good that you were able to help them.” Rob Watts, who leads the missions work at First United Methodist Church, calls Buxton “remarkable.” “Not only does he have one of the most giving hearts that I’ve ever seen in a human being, but at his age, he’s just remarkably durable and patient, and he still loves to teach,” Watts said. “He’s been down to the Gulf Coast with me seven times, and two of those trips we took youth groups. “He’s just never lost his

The two got married and moved to Los Angeles, where Buxton attended the University of Southern California for two semesters. He ended up getting his undergraduate degree in biology at Southwest Texas State University, his master’s in zoology and his doctorate in his favorite subject — entomology — at Ohio State University. He and Audrey would later move to Salisbury where Buxton became the chair of the biology department and professor for 20 years. •••

Some question efforts to contain forest fires in parts of Colorado BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Fire management officials and homeowners living in the heavily wooded, steep mountainsides, draws and canyons west of Boulder had planned for years for the fire that swept through the area on Labor Day. They spent thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars cutting down trees, trimming branches and clearing brush and pine needles from the forest floor to remove fuel for such a fire. Forest managers say those fire mitigation efforts worked, by some measures. There were no reported serious injuries or deaths from the 3,500 people who were evacuated or firefighters battling the blaze. Though 166 homes were destroyed, making it the most destructive fire in Colorado history, there were more than 500 homes within the 6,200 acre footprint of the fire — nearly 10 square miles — that survived, according to figures compiled by Laura McConnell, a firefighter with the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District. That’s little consolation though, for people who lost their property.

“I’m questioning the whole mitigation thing,” said Laurent Nicault as he and his family removed belongings from their fire-damaged home. A garage, apartment and a car on his property laid in charred ruins. He had removed several trees and taken other measures to prevent exactly that type of loss. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, a resident of Boulder County and a long time supporter of mitigation efforts, has called for a review into whether those efforts were effective, as well as whether firefighters had enough air support and other resources. The fire wreaked most of its devastation in the hours after it started on Labor Day. Officials are investigating reports that the blaze escaped a fire pit then blew up a propane tank, sending flames into the trees. Once in the trees, winds gusting to 60 mph and focused by the draws, ravines, and canyons pushed intense walls of fire through the area. Fire behavior analyst Tyler Doggett described how monstrous flames bent nearly horizontally by the wind quickly dried out and heated nearby stands of trees.

Bowyer surprise winner BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

clint Bowyer emerges from his car after taking a victory in New Hampshire.

Kimber, Campbell reunited

LOUDON, N.H. — As the last seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Clint Bowyer didn’t land on many lists of legitimate title contenders. Bowyer wasn’t mentioned in the same breath as fourtime defending champion Jimmie Johnson, and that spotlight on favorites Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick never drifted in his direction. Bowyer was pressure-free as he headed into the Chase opener at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and with

nothing to lose, he swung for the fences. Bowyer dominated Sunday until a series of cautions found him trailing Tony Stewart over the closing laps of the Chase opener. With both drivers trying to nurse their sputtering fuel tanks to the finish, Bowyer found himself in position to pounce when Stewart’s tank ran dry a lap from the checkered flag. It snapped an 88-race losing streak for Bowyer, jettisoned him from 12th in the standings to second, and sent the Richard Childress Racing driver into Round 2 of the Chase loving his champi-

onship chances. “I had a lot of fun, it was kind of a relaxing weekend,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be that way from now on. But I’m telling you, we launched ourselves into the pressure cooker early. You’ve got to be able to continue to have as much fun as we did this weekend. If we can do that, we can continue to have the success and run at this pace.” And what a pace it was. In arguably the best Chase opener since the format’s 2004 debut, the championship con-

Area athletes update ... Former West Rowan star Kaleb Kimber has signed with University of Rio Grande’s basketball program. Senior sharpshooter Doug Campbell (Salisbury) is one of the returning standouts for Rio, an Ohio school that CAMPBELL competes in NAIA. That connection led Kimber to join the Red Storm. Campbell and Kimber were varsity teammates at Salisbury in 2005-06 when Campbell was a junior and Kimber was a promising freshman trying to find playing time for coach Jason Causby. Kimber transferred to West Rowan prior to his sophomore season and averaged 8.7 points a game for coach Mike Gurley’s Falcons. He was limited by back issues his junior year, although he did have a memorable follow dunk in the playoffs at Hickory. Healthier, he averaged 10.7 points his senior season and earned all-county accolades. Kimber signed with Livingstone out of high school but didn’t play much as a freshman. He could make an impact at Rio. The 6-foot-2 sophomore is a good defender, leaper and shooter. PRO BASKETBALL Former Virginia Tech star Carlos Dixon (South Rowan), who has already played in Argentina, South Korea, France and China, has signed to play with Okinawa in a Japanese pro league this season. COLLEGE FOOTBALL  Gordy Witte (Salisbury) got in on four tackles, including a sack, as Appalachian State battered N.C. Central on Saturday. ApWITTE palachian State’s Jamill Lott (A.L. Brown) played some at receiver and made two special-teams tackles, including the opening kickoff. N.C. Central’s Frankie Cardelle (Salisbury) kicked a 42-yard field goal in the loss to ASU and one PAT, but he had two kicks blocked. Cardelle averaged 42.7 yards on six punts and averaged 65.8 on four kickoffs.

Panthers stumble at home BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Josh Freeman and the Tampa Bay Bucs 20 Buccaneers looked Panthers 7 poised and mature, nothing like that bumbling, youthful team from a year ago that started 0-7. The Carolina Panthers played that role in a performance so inept they might be ready to truly start over with their own rookie quarterback,

Jimmy Clausen. Returning to the site of the worst game in his brief pro career, Freeman threw for 178 yards and two touchdown passes in Tampa Bay’s 207 win on Sunday that produced a fullblown quarterback controversy for Carolina and gave the Buccaneers their first 2-0 start in five years. “We’re not really worried about what people are saying,” said Freeman who took over last year as a rookie in Tampa Bay’s 3-13 season. “It’s a great feeling.”

Nine months removed from his five-interception nightmare against Carolina, Freeman and the Bucs were turnover-free. The miscues were made by the Panthers (0-2), who couldn’t move the ball as Matt Moore had two more turnovers and was benched for Clausen in the fourth quarter. Coach John Fox said it’s “way too early” to say who will start at quarterback next week against Cincinnati, with Carolina in danger of its second straight 0-3 start with Fox in the fi-

nal year of his contract. “Matt has not been benched by any stretch,” Fox said. “We’ll go with whoever gives us the best chance to win next week and that will take some time.” Moore, who has committed six turnovers and produced two TDs in two games, said he can’t “put my finger on” what’s gone wrong after he threw eight TD passes and one interception in a 4-1 finish last season that

Ingram took it out on Duke BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

DURHAM — Mark Ingram took his first carry nearly 50 yards for Alabama. Marcell Dareus snuffed out Duke’s first rushing play for a loss. With two stars back in the lineup, the top-ranked Crimson Tide certainly made it look easy against the Blue Devils — and that’s exactly what they needed to do before things finally get serious this week. They visit Arkansas in their Southeastern Conference opener. “It’s what we make of it,” coach Nick Saban said following Saturday’s 62-13 rout. “It’s how we look at it. It’s how we take the things we need to improve on and use them as stepping stones to improve, learn more with some of our younger players, what it takes to compete for 60 min-

utes in a game.” The Crimson Tide needed their Heisman Trophy-winning tailback for only about 30 minutes of this one. And in that short time, he put on quite a show. Alabama (3-0) got along just fine in the first two games, when Trent Richardson got most of the work and Ingram was sidelined while he recovered from preseason surgery on his left knee. But the return of the explosive rusher served to add another dimension to an already-potent offense that put up 62 points for the first time since 1991, racked up its first 600-yard performance since 1989 and undoubtedly gave the rest of the SEC plenty to worry about. “Any time you have those guys both associated press

Castroneves wins in Japan Associated Press

FroM 1B tenders bounced all over the field Sunday as driver after driver faced various issues. Hamlin, the points leader, was spun by Carl Edwards on a mid-race restart and rallied from 22nd to finish second. Harvick, the points leader for most of the “regular season,” struggled through a series of bad pit stops to fall as low as 18th before finishing fifth. Johnson was derailed by a loose right wheel late in the race to finish 25th, the lowest of the Chase drivers. And after stressing that New Hampshire was his biggest concern of the Chase, Matt Kenseth capped a weekend of struggles with a noncompetitive 23rdplace finish. Then there was Stewart, who tried to stretch his gas the final 92 laps in pursuit of the victory. When it backfired, he limped his car home to a 24th-place finish that cost him five spots in the standings. “We went down swinging,” he said, shrugging. “It’s a tough way to start the Chase. I would have settled for second. If you knew exactly how much gas you have, it would be different, but you never know. It’s part of the sport, always has been. It’s what makes it exciting when you never know until the last lap who’s going to happen.” The Chase shifts next weekend to Dover, Del., where Hamlin takes a 35-point lead over

oval. I’m getting closer and I really want to finish ahead of him next time.” Franchitti, who was second here in 2000 and 2009 on the 1.5-mile track, beat Power to the finish line by just 0.4997 of a second. “Will did a great job to get back in the race but I managed to keep some length from him,” Franchitti said. “Now it’s all up to Homestead and I’ve just got to beat him.” Castroneves led for 153 laps to clinch two bonus points for most the laps led. He is now third in the overall standings with 501 points, but has been eliminated from the title chase along with New Zealand’s Scott Dixon. Briscoe, who started on the

front row with Castroneves, was fourth. Danica Patrick, who won here in 2008 to became the first female winner in IndyCar history, was fifth.

Bowyer into one of his weakest race tracks. “It gives me somewhat of a buffer,” he said. “We all know how Dover is for me.” The race at the top of the standings is still tight, even for Johnson, who dropped five spots to seventh. But at only 92 points out and headed to a track where he’s a five-time winner, Johnson didn’t seem worried. “We’ll go home and get back to work and go after it again next week,” Johnson said. He’ll now have to contend with Bowyer, who is looking for a repeat of the 2007 Chase. He slid into the field that year and earned his first career victory with a breakthrough win in the New Hampshire opener. It set the tone for a strong run for Bowyer, who wound up a career-high third in the final standings. Bowyer felt capable of winning the championship that year as he headed into the season finale trailing Johnson and Jeff Gordon, and he hopes the momentum of his New Hampshire repeat helps him hang with the leaders the next nine weeks. “This reminded me a lot of 2007,” he said. “That first win of the season ... that confidence, the momentum, everybody, not just for me. Everybody has a major pep in their step right now and they are going to carry that through on to next week and if we can continue to ride that momentum wave through this Chase, we can have a shot at it just like we did in 2007.” It could have gone very differently, though. Bowyer was pressed by crew chief Shane Wilson to save his fuel, and the order frustrated him as he tried to run down Stewart.

MOTEGI, Japan — Polesitter Helio Castroneves of Brazil won the Indy Japan 300 on Sunday to ensure the IndyCar series championship will come down to the final race of the year. Castroneves took the lead from Team Penske teammate Ryan Briscoe on a lap 118 pit stop and held on through 200 laps to earn his third win this season. “It’s always a tough race here,” said Castroneves who won at Motegi in 2006. “I trusted my car and trusted my team which did a great job in the pit stops.” Defending series champion Dario Franchitti of Scotland was second, followed by series points leader Will Power of Australia. With the win, Franchitti trails Power by just 12 points heading into the final race of the season on Oct. 2 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Power, who dropped as far as ninth during Sunday’s race, said he was pleased to make up ground but was disappointed he didn’t finish ahead of Franchitti after starting third on the grid. “The team did a great job to get me back up to third,” Power said. “I’ve never finished ahead of Dario on an

Favre: four turnovers Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre had his worst game with Vikings, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble, and the Miami Dolphins stopped Adrian Peterson on fourth-and-goal from the 1 to preserve a 14-10 victory over Minnesota on Sunday. Koa Misi recovered Favre’s fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and Brian Hartline scored on a 5-yard pass from Chad Henne to keep the Dolphins (2-0) undefeated. The 40-year-old Favre was 19 of 28 for 197 yards. He threw two interceptions at home all of last season, but topped that total in the home opener. Peterson rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings (0-2), who forced two fumbles of their own in a mistake-filled game. Bears 27, Cowboys 20 ARLINGTON, Texas — Jay Cutler overcame several early hard hits to throw three touchdown passes, leading Chicago to its first 2-0 start since its Super Bowl season in 2006. Dallas blew a chance to tie the game at 20-all when David Buehler badly missed a 44-yard field goal with 7:23 left. Chicago immediately drove for a lead-extending touchdown. Buehler made a 48-yarder with 1:17 left, but the Bears caught an onside kick. Dallas fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2001, when Quincy Carter took over for the retired Troy Aikman at quarterback. Cowboys loyalists will remember the 1993 season starting 0-2 and ending with a Super Bowl championship, but that club got Emmitt Smith back from a contract holdout to start its rally. Steelers 19, Titans 11 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Antonio Brown scored on an 89-yard kickoff return to open the game, and Pittsburgh forced seven turnovers. Dennis Dixon hurt his left knee and was replaced by Charlie Batch, but the Steelers (2-0) swarmed the Titans (1-1) and came up with four sacks and forced the most turnovers by Tennessee since 2000. The Titans even tried pulling Vince Young after his third turnover. Kerry Collins was intercepted to end his first series. Pittsburgh also snapped Chris Johnson’s 100-yard rushing streak at 12 straight. The NFL’s rushing champ had a chance to move a game away from the league record of 14 held by Barry Sanders, but he finished with just 16 carries for 34 yards. James Harrison had three sacks, forced a fumble and recovered another. Packers 34, Bills 7 GREEN BAY, Wis.— Clay Matthews had three sacks to lead a Green Bay’s dominant defense and Aaron Rodgers threw for two TDs and scrambled for another for the Packers. Rodgers threw for 255 yards, with touchdowns to Donald Driver and James Jones. He also ran 9 yards for a score. Linebacker Brandon Chillar and rookie safety Morgan Burnett intercepted Trent Edwards and the Packers (2-0) held the Bills (0-2) to 186 yards of total offense. Edwards was 11 of 18 for 102 yards. Chiefs 16, Browns 14 CLEVELAND— Two wins in one week have the Kansas City Chiefs off to a shocking start. Brandon Flowers returned an interception for a touchdown, Ryan Succop kicked three field goals and Kansas City converted a late fourth-down gamble by coach Todd Haley for the win. The Chiefs, who also knocked off AFC West champion San Diego on Monday night, are 2-0 for the first time since 2005. Jerome Harrison, who ran for 286 yards against the Chiefs last year, was held to 33 yards on 16 carries. Joshua Cribbs had a 65-yard TD reception from Seneca Wallace, who started in place of Jake Delhomme — out with an injured right ankle. Wallace finished 16 of 31 for 229 yards. The Chiefs were clinging to their 2point lead and faced a 4th-and-inches at the Cleveland 36 with two minutes

left. Instead of punting, Haley went for it and running back Thomas Jones leaped over the pile for a game-clinching first down. Falcons 41, Cardinals 7 ATLANTA — Matt Ryan matched a career high with three touchdown passes, third-string running back Jason Snelling rushed for 129 yards and scored three times for Atlanta. Snelling took over after the top two backs, Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood, went out with injuries. The replacement carried 24 times for 129 yards, including a pair of touchdowns. He also hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Ryan. Ryan threw for 225 yards and finally got the offense in gear for Atlanta (1-1). The first-teamers looked sluggish in the preseason, and the Falcons were held without a touchdown in a season-opening loss at Pittsburgh. Bengals 15, Ravens 10 CINCINNATI — Mike Nugent kicked a career-high five field goals, two of them in the closing minutes, and Cincinnati’s up-to-the-challenge defense made it hold up. Cincinnati (1-1) won the division last season by running the table, going 6-0 for the first time in franchise history. Its new kicker extended the Bengals’ streak of division wins to a club-record eight straight. The Ravens (1-1) couldn’t pull one out despite another brilliant day by their defense, which hasn’t allowed a touchdown in its past 10 quarters since the playoffs. Baltimore was in position for a 10-9 win — the same score it beat the Jets by on Monday night — after Billy Cundiff kicked a 38-yarder with 5:46 to go. Broncos 31, Seahawks 14 DENVER — Kyle Orton threw for 307 yards and two TD passes and top draft pick Demaryius Thomas caught eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown for Denver. Orton also threw one to Eddie Royal — his first TD catch since 2008 as the Broncos dominated the Seahawks (1-1). The Broncos (1-1) won their 11th straight home opener and improved to 24-3 in home openers since 1984, the best mark in major professional sports during that span. Thomas, who missed the preseason and last week’s opener after aggravating his surgically-repaired left foot during a scrimmage last month, hauled in Orton’s 21-yard touchdown pass to make it 31-7 and cap his smashing debut. Chargers 38, Jaguars 13 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns and San Diego forced six turnovers. Chargers rookie running back Ryan Mathews hurt his right ankle in the second quarter and didn’t return. He also fumbled for the second straight game, one of San Diego’s three turnovers. David Garrard was intercepted four times. The six turnovers tied Jacksonville’s team record and led to 17 points for the Chargers. Raiders 16, Rams 14 OAKLAND, Calif. — Bruce Gradkowski replaced an ineffective Jason Campbell after halftime and led the Raiders to three scoring drives. Gradkowski threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Louis Murphy, Darren McFadden ran for 145 yards and Sebastian Janikowski kicked three field goals to give Oakland (1-1) its first win in a home opener since 2004. Sam Bradford threw two touchdown passes to Mark Clayton but was unable to get the offense moving for much of the second half as the Rams (0-2) lost for the 27th time in 28 games. Colts 38, Giants 14 INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns in easily outplaying younger brother Eli on Sunday night. In the second NFL meeting of siblings as starting quarterbacks, Peyton Manning got lots of help from his running game and a Colts defense that was overrun last week against Houston. Joseph Addai rushed for 92 yards, Donald Brown added 69 and Indianapolis (1-1) forced Eli Manning to fumble twice, resulting in 14 points.

Vick shines, beats Lions Associated Press

DETROIT — On the bus ride to his 35 first start Eagles 32 at quarterLions back since 2006, Michael Vick thought of everything that has happened the last several years. Then he went out and took full advantage of the opportunity. Vick looked like the Pro Bowler he used to be by effortlessly flicking the football down the field and avoiding sacks with slick steps. Vick’s second touchdown pass put the Philadelphia Eagles ahead just before halftime and they had to hold on to beat the Detroit Lions 3532 Sunday. He didn’t take the first snap in a game the past three seasons because he served an 18-month prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation and spent last year as a backup. Vick said he reflects “all the time” on his journey back onto an NFL field. “It’s been a long road for me,” he said softly. “It’s been tough. Throughout it all, I had to be resilient and overcome a lot of adversity and self-inflicted wounds.” The electrifying athlete was 21 of 34 — connecting with nine teammates — for 284 yards with two TDs, ran for 37 yards and escaped losses with the spin moves of a dancer and speed of a sprinter. “A lot of people doubted him and said he wasn’t able to do this,” said DeSean Jackson, who caught four of Vick’s passes for 135 yards and a TD. “He’s been able to prove everybody wrong.”

LeSean McCoy gave the Eagles (1-1) an 18-point lead on his third score with 6:17 left, but they gave Detroit comeback hopes. The Lions (0-2) rallied to pull within three points and recovered an onside kick with 1:48 left, but turned the ball over on downs without gaining a yard. “I’m proud to stand among the players,” coach Jim Schwartz said. “This is a tough team, a team that’s resilient, that fights through a lot of situations.” Detroit has had to deal with a lot of tough times, winning just twice last year after enduring the league’s first 0-16 season. The franchise is a league-worst 33113 since 2001. The Lions lost their franchise QB — Matthew Stafford — in the seasonopening loss at Chicago with an injured right shoulder and had to turn to Shaun Hill. He was 25 of 45 for 335 yards with two TDs, including one to Calvin Johnson late in the game, and had two interceptions. “The losses are tough, but you can only worry about them for a day,” Hill said. “You can’t dwell on mistakes.” The Eagles didn’t dwell on Vick’s, giving him a shot to revive his career last year. He was more than ready to take the first snap in place of Kevin Kolb, who missed the game because of a concussion. Eagles coach Andy Reid insisted he didn’t need to reassure Kolb he was still the team’s starting QB, even though Vick seemed to do enough to make it tough to put him back on the bench.

ASHBURN, Va. — Their quarterTexans 30 back threw 497 Redskins 27 for yards. They overcame a 17-point thirdquarter deficit. They’ve beaten Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb back-to-back. They even won an overtime game for the first time. Needless to say, these are not your older brother’s Houston Texans. Houston won a wild one Sunday, a game that produced nearly 1,000 yards of offense and wasn’t done until Neil Rackers kicked a 35-yard field goal with 3:24 left in the extra period. The Texans knocked off the Washington Redskins 30-27 to move to 20 for the second time in the franchise’s nine-year history, giving promise that this might be the year they finally make the playoffs. “My thought coming into this week was that I knew that a lot of people was going to be questioning us, asking if we were for real,” said Andre Johnson, who had 158 yards receiving and tied a career high with 12 catches despite leaving the game for part of the second half with a sprained right ankle. “I think we showed a little something today.” A week after Arian Foster rushed for a franchise-record 231 yards in an upset over the nemesis Indianapolis Colts, the Texans went back to the air. Matt Schaub completed 38 of 52 passes for 497 yards — yep, another franchise record — with three touchdowns with one interception despite getting sacked five times. Kevin Walter caught 11

Mario Williams was the defensive star in a game without much defense, sacking McNabb three times. Two of Schaub’s completions stand out above the others. A fourth-and-10 heave turned into a touchdown when Johnson outjumped safety Reed Doughty in the end zone to snag a 34-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 27 with 2:03 to play to regulation, Johnson’s 601st career catch. A similar throw led to Joel Dreessen’s leaping, turnaround grab in overtime, a 28yard pass to move the ball to the Washington 18 to set up Rackers’ kick, giving the Texans their first overtime win in

seven tries since entering the league in 2002. “I’m just trying to give guys a chance to make a play,” Schaub said. “The one to Andre was fourth down. He had two guys on him. I don’t even know how he caught it.” McNabb was also cranking it out, hitting 28 of 38 passes for 426 yards with one touchdown for the Redskins, who are 1-1 under new coach Mike Shanahan. It was the first time both quarterbacks threw for more than 400 yards in an NFL game since Drew Bledsoe and Dan Marino put on a show when New England played Miami in September 1994, according to STATS. “That type of game is always tough to lose,” Shanahan

said. “You have your opportunities to put the game away.” The overtime was just as crazy as the rest of the game. The Texans won the coin toss to get the ball and moved to the Washington 34, but coach Gary Kubiak opted to punt rather than try a 52-yard field goal because he didn’t think the breeze was favorable. The Redskins got the ball on the 20, then drove to the Houston 34 — the same yard line as the Texans — and Shanahan opted to try the field goal. Graham Gano made the first attempt, but it didn’t count because Kubiak called timeout just before the snap. Gano’s second try was wide right, putting the ball back in Schaub’s hands for the winning drive.

Sanchez sparks Jets Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Call Jets 28 the second Patriots 14 game of the New York Jets’ reality season “Hard to Believe.” Because just when it looked as though a bad week on and off the field would taint the Jets’ season, along came Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. But, looking more like Brady than even the recordbreaking quarterback himself, Mark Sanchez threw a career-high three touchdown passes as the Jets overcame the loss of Darrelle Revis to beat their AFC East rivals 2814 on Sunday. “We’re back,” Ryan said, “to being who we think we are.” Six days after an awful outing in a season-opening loss to Baltimore last Monday night, Sanchez looked in charge of a

suddenly charged-up offense. “It’s just tough when you lose that first game,” Sanchez said. “It feels like you’re 0-10. This game couldn’t come soon enough.” The second-year quarterback completed a career-high 21 passes on 30 attempts for 220 yards and connected with Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery and Dustin Keller for scores. “We did a lot of talking,” running back LaDainian Tomlinson said of the team that starred in HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer. “But at some point, you’ve got to prove it. That’s what it was about today.” The victory over the Patriots (1-1) ended a tumultuous week for the Jets (1-1), who were investigated by the NFL for the treatment of a female reporter at practice last weekend. Commissioner Roger Goodell ruled that the Jets’ conduct was unprofessional but there was no sexual ha-

rassment, and owner Woody Johnson apologized to TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz. If the Jets were distracted, they certainly didn’t show it in this one. “This was a huge game for us,” Ryan said. They may have some more concerns now, however. Revis, New York’s All-Pro cornerback, left in the second quarter after Randy Moss made a jaw-dropping, onehanded 34-yard touchdown catch. Revis immediately grabbed his left leg, his hamstring tightening on him after being limited by it all week. He said it wasn’t a pull or a tear, but wasn’t sure how long he might be sidelined. Cotchery caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Sanchez with 38 seconds left in the third quarter, and Edwards caught the 2-point conversion toss to give the Jets their first lead of the game at 21-14. Tomlinson had a pretty 31yard run, showing plenty of

earned Jake Delhomme a ticket out of town. “I don’t know what the biggest difference is,” said Moore, who was booed in the first quarter, had trouble finding receivers and completed just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards. It included a 37-yard TD to Steve Smith, Carolina’s only reliable receiver. Clausen completed that many passes on his first drive, but it ended with Jonathan Stewart stuffed shy of the goal line with Carolina trailing 207. Clausen was later picked off by Aqib Talib and finished 7 of 13 for 59 yards. “We just have to keep getting better,” Clausen said. The sturdy, elusive, 6-foot6 Freeman has done just that despite still recovering from a broken right thumb. He threw touchdown passes to Earnest Graham and rookie Mike Williams, and also scrambled for 43 yards on four carries for the Bucs, whose rebuilding process may be ahead of schedule. After beating Cleveland with a solid second-half defensive effort in Week 1, Tampa Bay held Carolina’s running game in check by daring Moore to throw.

carolina’s Matt Moore is sacked by blitzing Quincy Black. “They don’t have a lot in the way of threats over there at wide receiver,” said cornerback Ronde Barber, who had an interception. Freeman, who last season led Tampa Bay inside the Carolina 30 eight times but produced just six points, showed his versatility early in staking the Bucs to a 7-0 lead. After his 17-yard scramble on thirdand-11, Freeman found an open Graham in the flat for a 14-yard touchdown. Freeman was even more impressive on Tampa Bay’s second TD. He eluded a sack twice on third-and-long, then threw a bullet to Kellen Winslow, playing despite a

sore knee, for a 40-yard gain. On the next play, he threw a 35-yard, catch-and-run TD to Williams to put Tampa Bay ahead 14-7 midway through the second quarter. That would be all the Bucs would need in a matchup of the NFL’s youngest teams. It didn’t take long for the crowd, sitting in 90-degree heat, to grow restless with Moore. Clausen, the secondround pick and former Notre Dame star, trotted on the field with 10:03 left to loud cheers one possession after Moore fumbled on a sack. “To be honest, I really wasn’t paying attention,” Clausen said of the crowd reaction.

SPORTS DIGEST

Stanford rips Wake Associated Press

Late Saturday STANFORD, Calif. — After watching Stanford 68 S t a n f o r d W. Forest 24 blow an early lead a year ago at Wake Forest, Andrew Luck made sure the Cardinal never stopped scoring in the rematch. Luck threw four touchdown passes, ran 52 yards for another score and led No. 19 Stanford to the end zone on all eight drives that he played in a 68-24 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday night. “We were very, very, very motivated, especially after last year,” Luck said. “We knew we had to maybe light the scoreboard up if we wanted to beat them.” Chris Owusu caught two TD passes in his first game of the season and Tyler Gaffney ran for two scores to help the Cardinal (3-0) score their most points in 42 years. Stanford has won its first three games for the first time since 2001, avenging last year’s 24-17 last-second loss at Wake Forest in a game the Cardinal led 17-3 at the half. The Demon Deacons (2-1) scored 107 points in winning their first two games but didn’t have nearly enough of-

fense to keep up with Luck and Stanford. Wake Forest gave up its most points since losing 72-13 to Florida State in 1995. “That Stanford team is very special,” coach Jim Grobe said. “It’s a good football team, well-coached. All the credit to those guys. They give you problems offensively. They have such a strong running game and a special quarterback who makes all the throws.” Luck completed his first eight passes of the game and effortlessly moved the Cardinal down the field against a Wake Forest defense that allowed 48 points in a win over Duke last week. Luck finished 17 of 23 for 207 yards passing to go with the long, weaving run that showed he has the athleticism to go with his strong arm. With 10 touchdown passes after three weeks, Luck showed he deserves to be mentioned prominently in early season talk about the Heisman Trophy. “He played a flawless game,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “The execution was right on the money.” The Cardinal have scored 154 points through three games, showing no signs of missing last year’s Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart. This

is the best offensive start to a season for Stanford since scoring 164 points in the first three games in 1923. This was Stanford’s highest scoring game since also getting 68 against San Jose State in 1968. Wearing black uniforms for the first time, the Cardinal looked sharp from the start after waiting around all day for the latest kickoff in school history. It didn’t take long after the opening kick at 8:25 p.m. PDT for the blowout to start. Wake Forest was stopped three-andout on the opening possession before Luck drove the Cardinal 61 yards for the opening score. He capped it with an 8-yard pass to Owusu, who had missed the first two games with a knee injury. After Chris Givens tied the game with a 22-yard run off a reverse, the Cardinal took the lead on the next possession when Luck hit Owusu with a 35-yard scoring strike over A.J. Marshall. Gaffney added his two short touchdown runs in the second quarter and Luck added a 12-yard swing pass to Usua Amanam for another score. But it was Luck’s long run that was his most memorable play of the day. On a thirdand-7 from his own 48, Luck

Mark dantonio, right, talking with Brian Kelly, suffered a heart attack saturday. Georgia Tech moved to 21 overall and 1-0 in the ACC with a 30-24 win at North Carolina. MIAMI CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Jacory Harris was in uniform an hour before practice Sunday, studying film in Miami’s offensive meeting room. A 12-day break between games probably seems like a 12-month hiatus to the Hurricanes’ quarterback. Harris took Miami’s loss at Ohio State personally, since he was the one who threw four interceptions in the 36-24 loss.

back 100 percent, it’s really encouraging,” quarterback Greg McElroy said. “The fact that Mark ran as well as he did, and obviously, Trent has done a great job throughout the course of the season so far. It’s really good for (Ingram). He’s definitely looking forward to getting back out there, and he definitely made the most of every play.” Especially the first one. Ingram announced his return on the opening snap, taking a handoff and shaking a tackler before bursting 48 yards down the right sideline. Two carries later, he broke off a 50-yard gain through the left side, and he finished with 151 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries. “Felt better than I did before I had the injury,” Ingram said. Dareus also made an impact on the defensive line. The defensive MVP of last season’s national title game was suspended by the NCAA for the first two games for accepting nearly $2,000 in improper benefits from an agent on two trips to Miami. On the Blue Devils’ first rushing play, the defensive end broke through and brought down receiver Donovan Varner for a 4-yard loss. That wound up being Dareus’ only tackle of the game. But for the Tide, merely having him back on the field — and in the consciousness of opposing offensive coordina-

Luck took the rest of the night off with a 55-10 lead. “I know they lost their running back, Toby Gerhart, but that’s a more veteran team than we saw last year,” Grobe said. “That’s a veteran offensive line and they are impressive.” Harbaugh lost a challenge of a non-fumble call with 5:25 remaining and the Cardinal leading 68-24.

tors — seemed to be enough for now. “I was a little overexcited to come out,” Dareus said, adding that defensive line coach Bo Davis “had to come talk to me a couple of times. ’Marcell, just calm down. Just play. Just have fun. Go out there, don’t be overanxious, jump offsides.’ ... I just had to calm down.” There were a few blips, though — most notably, the stingy Tide defense finally allowed a touchdown. Austin Kelly became the first player to cross the goal line against them when he caught an 11-yard pass from Sean Renfree in the final minute of the first half. That capped the third — and final — scoring drive by the Blue Devils. The Crimson Tide could get away with that kind of breakdown in the early season. After all, they faced the likes of outmanned San Jose State, a nationally ranked Penn State team that brought a freshman quarterback to Bryant-Denny Stadium and a Duke team that, while improving, clearly wasn’t anywhere near Alabama’s level. Starting now, the margin for error shrinks significantly — especially this week against Heisman hopeful Ryan Mallett and the Razorbacks. “You can’t have a lull in the second quarter. You can’t let down. You can’t get tired,” Saban said. “You have to have enough mental toughness to persevere and play every play in the game. I think there are some lessons to be learned for some young players, and hopefully we can improve because of it and it will help our team grow.”

Mattingly’s next Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers’ front office has been certain Don Mattingly should be the club’s next manager since spring training, when they formalized his position as Joe Torre’s heir apparent with a new contract. Now Mattingly just has to convince everybody else in Los Angeles he deserves it. The former Yankees batting champion was publicly anointed Friday when Torre announced his pending retirement. The move sparked cautious optimism in his players, but widespread criticism in the media and among fans who think the Dodgers should have gone with an experienced bench boss. “I feel like I’ve been working for it for a long time,” said Mattingly, who took up full-time coaching in 2004. “In my heart, I know I can do this.” The Dodgers know Mattingly as their hitting coach and batting practice pitch-

er, a relentless worker who rarely shuts up and never stops encouraging everybody to improve. Next year, they’ll find out whether Donnie Baseball’s energy and enthusiasm translates into success with the Dodgers, who have fallen into public disarray during the messy divorce of owners Frank and Jamie McCourt. “It’s nice that we’re going to have a familiar face with Donnie instead of a new guy coming in,” outfielder Andre Ethier said. “It’s not going to be a guessing game coming into next year, not knowing what we’re going to get. But at the same time, it’s definitely going to be different because of what Donnie brings in here.” Mattingly earned six All-Star selections, nine Gold Gloves, an AL batting title and the 1985 AL MVP award during 14 seasons with the Yankees, who retired the first baseman’s No. 23 jersey even though he never led them to a World Series.

SAN FRANCISCO — Basketball star Ed O’Bannon and quarterback Sam Keller each earned most valuable player awards during their collegiate careers. Now, years after playing their final games, they are pursuing what they consider a more significant collegiate legacy. They are attempting through federal lawsuits to force the NCAA to share its annual revenues with student-athletes. “There are millions and millions of dollars being made off the sweat and grind of the student athlete,” O’Bannon said. “Student athletes see none of that other than their education.” O’Bannon’s lawsuit seeks a share of the money the NCAA earns from licensing former players’ images in commercials, DVDs, video games and elsewhere. Keller’s claims are narrower and focused on the NCAA’s deal with Electronic Arts Inc., which makes basketball and football video games based on college players’ images.

NBA SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan is no longer getting better with age, but he’s apparently getting slimmer and fitter. San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Thursday that Duncan returned this summer for his 14th season perhaps in even better shape than a year ago, when

the perennial All-Star reported to training camp 15 pounds lighter. “He’s trim and slim. I think he’s even slimmer than he was last year,” Popovich said. “He’s really serious about this. He knows his responsibilities. He wants to win again.” • SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento police are hoping any possible witnesses will come forward after a mural of Sacramento Kings player Omri Casspi was defaced with a swastika for the second time in a week. Police say after a swastika was found painted on the mural of Casspi on Sept. 8, the mural was found defaced again the next morning. Casspi, who is Jewish, is the only NBA player born in Israel. • MIAMI — Prosecutors have dropped all marijuana possession charges against Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem, simply saying the case could not be proven.

NHL RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes have signed center Patrick O’Sullivan to a one-year, two-way contract. The team said Friday that O’Sullivan will make $600,000 at the NHL level or $105,000 in the minors this season. The 25-year-old had 11 goals and 23 assists last season with Edmonton. O’Sullivan was born in Canada but spent eight years of his childhood in WinstonSalem.

Take matters into your own hands BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Newspaper executive Katharine Graham said, “To love what you do and feel that it matters — how could anything be more fun?” I hope you all feel that way. In this deal, East’s defense mattered. South was in four spades. West led the diamond ace and continued with the king. What should East have done? Normally, if you bid a suit on the first and second rounds of the auction, you show at least six. Here, though, when South could not support hearts, bid no-trump, or show another suit, he promised only five spades — two spades was the default rebid. North then jumped to game because he had only seven losers: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and three clubs. (Responder assumes opener has seven losers for his opening bid. Seven and seven equal 14. Subtracting 14 from 24, the magic number in the Losing Trick Count, says that the North-South hands should win 10 tricks.) North also liked the idea of a vulnerable game bonus. When the deal was originally played, at trick two, East discarded the club three, his higher spot-card in that suit. But that looked low to West, so he led a third diamond. Now, though, South ruffed in the dummy, played a heart to his ace, drew two rounds of trumps ending in the dummy,

and discarded his remaining losers on dummy’s heart winners. West suggested that East should have discarded the heart two, but why would that have gotten West to shift to a club? It would have been much more sensible for East to take matters into his own hands by ruffing the second diamond and cashing his top clubs.

Monday, Sept. 20 Even though you may not do anything you haven’t done before, in the year ahead you’re likely to receive an unusual amount of acknowledgement for your talents. In fact, a promotion may even be forthcoming within your field. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Your marvelous knack for taking the failed ideas of others and making them work is something you use all the time, so it won’t come as any surprise to anyone when you do so again. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Applying extra effort always pays off handsomely for you, so you won’t find the need to grumble should the boss throw a big project your way, which s/he is likely to do. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - One of the most uncomfortable positions to be put in is to have to take directives from someone less capable than you. Before this happens, step forward and take charge. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - All that it takes to prevent a matter that has been a thorn in your side from rising up again is to take care of it once and for all before it can do any more damage. Don’t tarry! Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - If you’re in need of some socializing, don’t sit and wait on others to call. Start putting something fun together that you know your friends would want to be part of. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - There are strong indicators that you could be a bit more fortunate that usual when it comes to material situations. Being results-oriented will pay off, at the end of the day. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be both enthusiastic and dramatic when you present something important. You’ll have better chances of gaining support if you’re bolder than a cup of Seattle coffee.

Does hepatitis patient belong in restaurant? Dear Dr. Gott: Should a person with hepatitis be a restaurant cook? Is there any danger to the customers? Dear Reader: Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver and to a group of viral infections that affect the liver. There are actually five types: A, B, C, D and E. A is contracted from the hepatitis A virus. It is s p r e a d through the ingestion of food or DR. PETER drink contaminated GOTT by infected feces. This is one reason why it is mandated that employees in the food industry wash their hands following a visit to the lavatory during their work shift. B is contracted from people infected with the hepatitis B virus. The highest concentrations are found in blood. While lower concentrations are spread through bodily fluids such as found in open, oozing wounds, vaginal secretions and semen. C is most commonly transmitted through contaminated blood and not generally through sexual contact. Contaminated needles for body piercing or tattoos and blood transfusions received prior to 1992 are often to blame. Prior to 1992, advanced screening tests were not available; however, since then, infection

through transfusion has been obliterated. Other common issues that could cause infection include alcohol, drug or autoimmune-induced hepatitis, people in the healthcare field who could inadvertently be exposed to infected blood, people with hemophilia (a blood-clotting disorder) and those on hemodialysis because of kidney failure. C is considered to be the most serious of the hepatitis viruses, so I will go into more depth, assuming this is the type of infection to which you refer. Most people with earlystage C are unaware they have a problem because there are no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can be mild and are often attributed to other causes. A person may have muscle and joint pain, poor appetite, tenderness in the area of the liver and fatigue. As the disease progresses, the most common telltale symptoms are low-grade fever and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Diagnosis is typically made accidentally when a physician orders routine blood work as part of a complete examination. If a problem is suspected, testing may include laboratory work or liver biopsy. While a biopsy isn’t vital, it can confirm the severity of the disease and will likely have a bearing on the treatment pro-

vided. A positive diagnosis for C doesn’t necessarily indicate a person will require treatment. For example, a physician may choose to withhold treatment if only minor liver irregularities are noted. Standard treatment for C is weekly injections in combination with oral medication taken twice each day for an extended period of time, usually 24 to 48 weeks, depending on the type. D is transmitted through infected blood and mucosal or percutaneous contact and is found only in people who carry the hepatitis B virus. It is uncommon in the United States. E is transmitted through the ingestion of fecal matter and is common in countries that have poor sanitation and contaminated water supplies. Vaccination for A and B are available; however, there is no effective vaccine at this stage for C. Home remedies and lifestyle changes include avoiding any medication that has the potential for liver damage, avoiding illegal-drug use, needle sharing, tattooing and body piercing. Finally, to answer your question, it depends what type of hepatitis you are referring to, whether the person has been treated and whether he or she takes all possible precautions to prevent exposure.

There are precautions and regulations in the food industry to prevent contamination. If you are concerned, speak with your regional publichealth office to find out what your area’s restrictions are.
