Alicia Bean in hospital

LION KING’S DAY

Police trying to investigate weekend incident BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Alicia Bean, the former mayor of Spencer who held police at bay with an assault rifle in May 2009, was listed Monday as a patient in the intensive care unit at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Her condition was not available, a hospital employee said shortly before 5 p.m. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said his department received information Monday morning that some type of incident was alleged to have occurred at the hospital involving Bean. “However, the department at no point over the weekend received any type of call from the hospital to file a report of an alleged incident,” BEAN Collins said. When police contacted hospital officials, they indicated that due to patient confidentiality and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, laws, they did not feel it was appropriate to report an incident with a patient and did not feel obligated to notify police of the situation, Collins said. Police disagree with the hospital’s decision. “We feel we do have a right and a need to know about the incident,” Collins said. “We have a right and need to know in order that we may conduct an investigation and examine the scene and determine that no foul play exists.” Police would approach a situation in a hospital as they would any other, he said. “Let the evidence speak for itself,” he said. Because of the difference of opinions, Collins said he has contacted the N.C. Attorney General’s Office for a ruling in the matter. Around 5:25 p.m. Monday, patient information at the hospital said Bean was not listed as a patient. Robin Baltimore, director of public relations and marketing for NovantHealth, which owns Rowan Regional Medical Center, said she could not explain why Bean was listed as a patient at 5 p.m. but was not listed in the registry a short time later. Baltimore told the Post she could not confirm or deny that Bean was a patient, citing HIPAA and privacy laws. Bean, who served as mayor from 2005-2007, held law enforcement officers at bay for about an hour last year after they responded to a suicide threat at her home. Officers tackled her in a storage building behind her house at 218 N. Yadkin Ave. in Spencer. Bean, 42 at the time, was taken into custody and placed in a state mental hospital. Upon her release from the hospital, Bean was charged with assaulting law enforcement officers. She was released on bond. She has not gone to trial on the assault charge, and no trial is scheduled for 2010. Friday night, law enforcement officers surrounded Bean’s house, according to a neighbor and other sources. It is not clear why they were there or if Bean was home. Spencer Police Chief Michael James did not respond to questions from the Post about Friday’s incident. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Ralph Ketner is presented with gifts during a 90th birthday party Monday at Catawba College.

Ketner, an American original, turns 90

everal weeks ago, Mrs. Dora, my spiritual advisor, gave me three

lucky days in September. And one of them was Sun-

day, when people came together on the Catawba College campus to celebrate the 90th birthday of Food Lion co-founder Ralph Ketner. Monday was actually Ketner’s birthday, but Sunday was my lucky day, being around Ketner, his family and all the surviving folks who guided Food Town (and later Food Lion) through what someone once called the “gogo” years. It was during that period when KetMARK ner’s “five WINEKA fast pennies” low-pricing concept, hard-nosed buying principles and competitive fire combined with an already built-in efficiency, tire-

less workers and customer service to transform a tiny, struggling grocery chain into a powerhouse. Along the way, Ketner, cofounder Wilson Smith and other investors who stuck with Food Lion through the tough times and into the glory days became, for lack of a better word — rich. I often shudder to think what Salisbury and Rowan County would be without the money people put back into the community from their Food Lion earnings. It’s the difference between Bedford Falls and Pottersville in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” We’re Bedford Falls, thanks to Food Lion. “I would just like people to think Salisbury was a better place because I was here,” Ketner said. Ketner’s genius came in both his selling and buying and the way he used figures to make you feel like an idiot if you didn’t do business with him. He also was a risk taker, gambling the company on the idea that sales volume built on the profit of five fast pennies — and the consumer excitement generated by low

Board extends fair contract, puts bonds on ballot BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Monday to extend the county’s lease with the Rowan County Fair Association by three years. Commissioners also approved a change that would allow payments of $20,000 each year instead of $60,000 up front. The Fair Association originally requested a four-year extension, according to attorney Ashley Andrews, because that would better align with the lease for the carnival rides. Commissioner Tina Hall noted the board had just received financial statements HALL and records from the Fair Association on Monday. “I haven’t had time to review some of the invoices, and I wish

I had more time to look through them,” Hall said. “None of this was presented to the county, so this is the first we’ve seen of it.” She also requested that any desired capital improvements to the fairgrounds first be communicated to the county manager. Hall moved to approve the change in payments but to keep the extension at three years. Commissioner Jon Barber seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. “I don’t think there is any doubt to the value of our fair to our citizens,” said Commissioner R a y m o n d Coltrain. “If you do have doubts, please go out there and walk around and see the people there. You cannot put a COLTRAIN dollar figure on that at all.” In other action, the board gave final approval to an order authorizing $12 million in bonds for Today’s forecast 86º/65º Partly cloudy

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, contingent on approval by the county’s voters. If approved by voters, the money will pay for capital improvements on the campus that will address accessibility, safety and space needs of the college. It also will go toward the relocation, expansion and improvement of fire training grounds. Commissioners also passed a resolution officially stating the bond issue would be submitted to voters on the Nov. 2 ballot. No one spoke during a public hearing on the bonds Tuesday, but two representatives from the college shared their thoughts during the earlier public comment period. Ray Paradowski, past chairman of the RCCC board of trustees, thanked commissioners for their support. “Some may say, with the economy such as it is now, it’s not the time for this bond issue,” Paradowski said. “In reality, now is the time when considerable savings can be realized with lower mate-

rials prices ... and quality contractors and their employees are ready to go to work.” Carol Spalding, RCCC president, said representatives from the college will be visiting about 30 community groups in a campaign to gain support for the bonds. She said the college’s polls found 70 percent of registered voters favor the bonds. The Rowan County Chamber of Commerce also has passed a resolution of support. Contact Karissa Minn at 704797-4222.

Suspect caught in slaying of Concord chief’s daughter RALEIGH (AP) — Authorities in New York arrested a convicted sex offender Monday in the slaying of a Concord Police Chief Merl Hamilton’s daughter, hours after the lawman made an emotional plea for help tracking the suspect down. FBI agents and U.S. Marshals took Michael Neal Harvey, 34, into custody without incident in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He was wanted on a murder warrant in the killing of Valerie Hamilton, a 23-year-old preschool teacher and swim instructor whose body was found in a Charlotte self-storage unit on Saturday. Merl Hamilton used an appearHAMILTON ance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to ask for help from law enforcement around the country, his voice breaking several times as he spoke. He later described Valerie Hamilton as a “perfect daughter” in an interview with the Associated Press and said he felt kinship with the officers tracking Harvey. “Law enforcement across this country is like a brotherhood and a HARVEY sisterhood and I’m hoping that they’ll help me with this, and that they can get out there and find this guy,” Hamilton told the AP before Harvey’s arrest. Valerie Hamilton was last seen alive at a Char-

Joanna Imes told police was coming out of Food Lion and was approached by a man and woman who told her they were selling trust funds, according to a Salisbury Police Department report. Police say the couple convinced Imes to purchase a trust fund for $150. She drove the two to her bank, withdrew the money and drove them

prices on everything in the store — was way better than the profit from one slow nickel. When Ketner bet the company on that one concept, he came up with a winning hand. Ketner was so persuasive, he once talked Paige and Mary Ida Hess into getting married and taking a honeymoon trip to San Francisco as a way of bumming a ride to the West Coast for a new job. He always seemed to have a answer, a gimmick, an angle, a pitch or a way to make do with the resources at hand. Arlene Haynes said Ketner once had some kind of foot ailment that made wearing shoes problematic, but he was supposed to accompany his first wife, Ruth, to Mocksville to buy furniture. Ketner couldn’t wear slippers, either, so he fashioned a pair of shoes out of cereal boxes and went furniture shopping that way. They gave Ketner some cereal box shoes at his birthday party. “I said no presents,” Ketner protested. There was a lot of kidding at The Lion King’s expense Sunday night. How could one not take a magical trip back in time to see clips from Ketner’s old television commercials? Some 30-plus years ago, an awkward Ketner starred in the commercials himself, just to save the company money. Remember the one with a real lion lying behind him? “Lowering your food bill is really something to roar about,” he said. In another commercial, he confided, “It’s what we don’t advertise that saves you money.” The commercials were effective because people thought anyone that bad on camera had to be telling the truth. Ketner has always had a propensity for sending handwritten notes to people he knows, not counting the thousands of type-written letters his secretaries have sent to others during his business and retirement days.

photographs, her dogs and the file cabinet filled with notes and cards from her father. Linda Ketner said, yes, her father seemed to work all the time, but it didn’t stop him from being home at 6 every night and playing with her and her brother, Robert, before dinner. No matter how immersed he was in work at home later in the night, Linda said, he always stopped to give them his undivided attention. Ralph regulary told them bedtime stories, too, making up imaginary characters and giving his children analytical and moral dilemmas to solve. Robert and Linda spoke of a father who sang loudly every morning in the shower. On Sundays, he belted out songs such as the “Old Rugged Cross,” “How Great Thou Art” and “Give Me That Old-Time Religion.” Ketner was a father who listened to, believed in and encouraged his children, Linda said, and every photograph she has of him shows a father filled with unconditional love. That’s probably not the Ralph Ketner you’re used to hearing about, but Linda said “the good stuff in my life” started with her father. Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Gov. Bev Perdue of North Carolina sent letters of congratulations to Ketner on his 90th birthday. The table centerpieces Sunday night included a pile of Food Lion brand groceries that will be donated to Rowan Helping Ministries. Each person who attended also was given a velvet pouch filled with five pennies — fast ones, no doubt. Through the years, with Jason Lesley’s help, I’ve written a couple of books and several articles about Food Lion and Ketner himself. For hours, I sat in front of his desk at Food Lion headquarters or at the Ketner School of Business on the Catawba College campus and heard his stories many times over. Hours later, I would transcribe his taped voice into notes. I’ve never regretted a minute of my time with Ketner, an American original. People such as Ketner are like Halley’s comet. In his case, they only come our way about once every 90 years. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@salisburypost.com

$50K of funds returned to Cabarrus EDC

TUESDAY September 21, 2010

Rowan County Fair opens

B Y H UGH F ISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — Faced with high unemployment and pleas from the business community, Cabarrus County commissioners voted Monday to return $50,000 cut earlier this year from the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation’s budget allotment. The exact method of returning those funds to the EDC budget will be discussed today when commissioners Chairman Jay White and Vice Chairwoman Liz Poole meet with EDC officials. The EDC — charged with attracting businesses and jobs to Cabarrus — saw its budget cut in half by $212,000 for the coming fiscal year. Those cuts were projected to remain in place for the next five years. The EDC currently has some $300,000 in reserves, money used for site certification and other costs. Although the budget cuts were called a necessary belt-tightening move, local business leaders have had a tense relationship with White and County Manager John Day on economic development issues in recent months. White has questioned whether all of the jobs and revenues the EDC claims are the result of their efforts. In turn, some businesspeople have questioned Day’s leadership. EDC supporters issued a statement Friday calling for 500 people to attend the commissioners’ meeting in support of the agency. Actual attendance was far short of that number, but it was standing room only in the chamber. Attendees were met at the doors to the meeting chamber and asked to give their support to the cause. Many were given stickers reading “Support Cabarrus County Jobs!" Well-known businesspeople asked commissioners to fully fund the EDC. Clyde Higgs of Castle & Cooke, developer of the N.C. Research Campus, was among those who spoke. Higgs called the EDC "the only professional business retention and recruiting tool for the community.” Higgs spoke of the benefits of a dedicated recruitment organization in drawing investment and employment to the county. "Our county benefits whenever any company comes to Cabarrus,” Higgs said. Cathy Waters said she worked with Phillip Morris for over two decades before losing her job when the Concord plant closed. The unemployment rate, she said, is "so much more than a number.” "That number represents 8,000 people. … I just wanted to put a face on that. I'm one of those 8,000,” Waters said. Commissioner Grace Mynatt asked that discussion of the EDC budget be added to the night’s agenda. Her motion passed unanimously. "Everybody knows we've had a difficult budget year,” Mynatt said when discussion of the EDC came up. She said she had believed the funding cut for the EDC would be a one-time situation. In the interest of finding a middle ground, Mynatt moved to restore $50,000 for purpose of filling a vacant EDC staff position, relying on today’s meeting to set the specifics. Commissioner Bob Carruth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. "I hope that, with this restoration, if the EDC should find themselves in a situation where they need more funds to bring more jobs to this county, they will come to this board,” Carruth said. White said that there are times when commissioners rethink their ideas based on discussions with the community, and he thanked those who had come out to share their concerns. "I do not know of anyone on this board who has not been for jobs,” White said. Also at Monday’s meeting, commissioners unanimously approved the creation of a new board, the Council for a Sustainable Local Econ-

Carson High School with disturbing the peace after a teacher said the teenager was playing his music too loudly. Tommy Lee Gipson, 16, was arrested Friday and placed in the Rowan County jail under a $2,500 secured bond. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Carson teacher Jason Dellinger called authorities into his classroom. He said Gipson had refused to take his headphones off and actually increased the volume on his media player, causing a disturbance in the classroom. Authorities say Dellinger had to stop class and have Gipson removed. In addition to the criminal charge, the school suspended Gipson for three days.

Carnival rides will begin operation at 5 p.m. weekdays and 1 p.m Saturday at the Rowan County Agricultural and Industrial Fair. BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Family fun continues today at the Rowan County Agricultural and Industrial Fair, with the start of three days of reduced admission for schoolchildren. Now through Thursday, children from designated area public schools are admitted with a special ticket for $1 or two cans of food. Today’s livestock shows include a lamb dress-up contest at 4:45 p.m. and a beef cattle show at 5 p.m. The fair kicked off to a slow start Monday, but the fairgrounds began to fill as the evening went on. The smells of fried food, popcorn and fresh-squeezed lemonade lured many fairgoers toward the vendor booths when they first arrived. Several game booths line the path to the ride area, where some families waited in anticipation Monday until the rides began operation at 5 p.m. Chris and Crystal Maness, of Salisbury, brought three of their children to the fair — 12year-old Jacob, 10-year-old Kenya and 2-year-old Karma. “We come every year,” Chris said. “The kids have a blast.” Jacob and Kenya said they had gone on three rides that day and were eager to try

Salisbury resident Meredith Williams said her 12-yearold son, Cody, hadn’t been able to attend the fair for several years due to health issues. “I’ve been here before, but it wasn’t like this,” Williams said. “There’s a lot more rides, and they’re improved. ... I’m looking forward to him having a good time.”

Armed with tickets and fresh off the Himalaya, Cody said he was looking forward to trying the new rides. Across the fairgrounds in the barn, Hannah Brittain sheared an ewe in preparation for the junior ewe show that evening. The animal was to be shown by Paige Fletcher, and both were in a group of juniors showing that day from Carson Elementary. “I’ve never done this be-

OBITUARIES Perry Lee Deal

Reba Joyce Yokeley Wall ALBEMARLE — Reba Joyce Yokeley Wall, a long-time Albemarle resident, passed away peacefully at 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19, 2010, in the Memory Enrichment Center at the Elms at Tanglewood, Clemmons. Mrs. Wall was born in Thomasville Jan. 15, 1927, to the late Bernie H. Yokeley and Nell Chandler Yokeley. Upon graduation from Thomasville High School, Mrs. Wall attended Virginia Intermont College. Some in Albemarle remember her as a society writer for the Stanly News and Press where she wrote about marriages, reunions, and a range of events capturing the spirit and joy of society in the Stanly County area during the 50s and 60s. Mrs. Wall was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas A. Wall, Jr., a decorated World War II combat veteran and highly respected CPA in Albemarle. Some of her greatest joys were shared with her beloved Tom where, throughout their marriage of 31 years, they were virtually inseparable. The two worked as a team when he opened and ran a private public accounting practice in Albemarle in the years following his graduation from Catawba College. Avid bridge players, they often entertained neighbors, friends and extended family in their home on Sylvania Avenue where Reba and Tom's love, support and hospitality are affectionately remembered by many. Strong advocates of education and individual responsibility, the Walls quietly supported and encouraged a number of young people in their quest toward college degrees and careers. Following her husband's death in 1983, Mrs. Wall established the Thomas A., Jr. and Reba Yokeley Wall Endowed Scholarship Fund at Catawba College which has provided ongoing annual tuition support to deserving North Carolina Piedmont Region students of accounting for over 20 years. Visitation: The family will receive friends 1-2 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22, at Hartsell Funeral Home in Albemarle. Service & Burial: A service honoring Mrs. Wall will follow at 2 p.m. in the Hartsell Funeral Home's Lefler Memorial Chapel. Lori W. Gaskin, James E. Yokeley, Jr., William Thomas Yokeley and Charles E. Gaskin will celebrate the life, love and impact of Reba Yokeley Wall. Following the church service, interment will be in the Stanly Gardens of Memory. Pallbearers will be Chuck Gaskin, Jimmy Yokeley, Tom Yokeley, John Whitley, and Rex Misenheimer. Her surviving brother, James E. Yokeley, Sr., will serve as an honorary pallbearer. Memorials: May be made to the Thomas A., Jr. and Reba Yokeley Wall Endowed Scholarship Fund at Catawba College, Salisbury, NC 28144, the Elms at Tanglewood Memory Enrichment Center Staff Development Fund, Harper Road, Clemmons, NC 27012 or Community Homecare and Hospice of Statesville, NC 28677.

lotte tavern. Police have said they think Harvey is the man spotted on surveillance video leaving the tavern with her early Wednesday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Rodney Monroe said at a news conference Monday that it wasn’t clear whether the woman was abducted or may have chosen to go with Harvey. Investigators believe she was killed shortly after, either at Harvey’s Charlotte home, a motel room where he stayed late last week, or at the storage locker site. “All three of those are prominent crime scenes,” Monroe said. An autopsy was being performed Monday. Her body had been wrapped in a material that Monroe wouldn’t specify. Hundreds of miles away in New York, the manhunt drew to a close on Monday at a house near where Harvey used to live. The suspect was asleep on a couch at a male friend’s house when 18 state, local and federal officers arrived, said Daniel Larish of the U.S. Marshals Service. Investigators believe Harvey had been at the friend’s house since about noon on Sunday. Larish said he showed no emotion and seemed “lethargic.” “I don’t think it came as any real surprise to him when the authorities were able to locate him,” said Monroe, the Charlotte chief. Investigators in New York were told Saturday to be on the lookout for Harvey, and a tip from the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office ultimately led to the arrest, authorities there said. Harvey was being held Monday in the Niagara County Jail on a fugitive from justice warrant and was scheduled to appear in court there this morning. Charlotte detectives were also traveling to New York to interview him. Harvey’s criminal record includes a conviction in New York for first-degree sexual abuse, as well as North Carolina convictions for failing to register as a sex offender and felony breaking and entering. Harvey was raised in Niagara Falls. No one answered the phone at his former address Monday morning. The slain woman’s father said young women should follow the same safety rules their parents teach them as children. “Be careful around strangers. Don’t assume you know somebody when you don’t. Stay with your friends. That carries over into your 20s, and when you get (to be) 23, you should be listening to that,” Merl Hamilton said. “These young ladies need to demand respect and need to demand that they’re kept safe.” Valerie Hamilton graduated from Concord High School in 2005 and studied nursing for a year at Queens University of Charlotte. She then changed her mind about her career and decided to follow her mother into teaching, her father said. She’d worked at a preschool and taught swimming to children at summer camps and at a Charlotte swimming school, he said. “I’d describe her as a perfect daughter and everybody who’s a father knows what that means,” Merl Hamilton said. “You just stay behind her, win or lose. To me, she was perfect.” Children responded immediately to Valerie Hamilton’s bubbly personality during the three years she worked at Little Otter Swim School in Charlotte, owner John Kirk said. “She could take a kid that was fearful and anxious because it’s a new place and within minutes they would be totally into her,” Kirk said. Rebecca Duffy’s daughter had taken swim lessons from Hamilton for about two years. “She was so genuine and sincere in her loving care with those children,” said Duffy, 38, of Charlotte. “She really embraced them and made them feel very special.” Concord Mayor Scott Padgett said the arrest would not bring Valerie Hamilton back, “but it is at least one thing that the Hamilton family can put aside, worrying about whether or not the man’s been caught. So from that perspective, I think it brings some limited relief.”

EAST SPENCER — The annual “Back to School Gospel Jam,” will be held Saturday at the Paul L. Dunbar Resource Center from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Organizers say it will be a day of fellowship, food, fun and praise. In a statement, organizers asked people who attend the event to bring packaged school supplies for North Rowan schools. They also asked local gospel quartets, soloist, choirs and praise teams to volunteer their talents for the event. Food vendors are being asked to give a donation toward school supplies. “God gave Horace Davis a vision and desire to organize this event,” committee member Jill Burch said. She said Davis is an unsung hero in East Spencer who has donated his services within the community for many years. Burch said Davis’ love for gospel music prompted the event. Among those volunteering their talents for the event are: praise teams from Shady Grove Baptist and Southern City AME Zion, East Spencer Alderwoman Rosa Burris, Voice of Faith, Madageline Fox, Benjamin Davis and the Rev. A. Williams. For more information about the event, contact one of the following volunteers: Horace Davis, 704-640-6009; Benjamin Davis, 704-7543552; Dwayne Hoover, 704637-2756; Ada Smith, 704639-9738; Jeffery Miller, 704431-4836; or Jill Burch, 704212-7812.

Man gets at least 13 years in Fayetteville killing

Teachers’ group is political coalition member

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A man will spend at least 13 years in prison after he admitted killing another man while robbing him of $800 worth of marijuana in a Fayetteville parking lot. The Fayetteville Observer reported Monday that 20year-old Terrell Jamal Hall pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy as part of a plea deal. A judge sentenced Hall to between 13 years and one month and 16 years and six months in prison. Hall admitted to killing 20year-old Gregory Mosley Jr. in November 2008. Investigators say Mosley was shot inside a vehicle at a Fayetteville shopping center. Hall’s co-defendant, 28year-old Rodney Carr, is awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s largest teacher lobbying group is a member of a coalition organized to counter efforts by a political organization targeting Democrats in the Legislature. A spokesman for what’s called “Real Facts NC” says the North Carolina Association of Educators is involved in an effort to raise at least $400,000 for the fall campaign. Michael Weisel says the coalition will expose what he calls distortions by a group backed by Republican donors called Real Jobs NC.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s largest health insurer says it will refund $155 million to more than 215,000 individual policyholders as a result of the Affordable Care Act that took effect earlier this year. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina chief executive Brad Wilson said in a news release Monday that individual policyholders will get back the equivalent of one and a half months of premiums paid. The average refund will be about $700 and should be paid before the end of the year. The company also said the state Insurance Department approved a 5.3 percent rate increase for some individual policies, less than the 7 percent Blue Cross had requested. Blue Cross insures 3.7 million people in North Carolina. About 300,000 customers buy their own health insurance.

$100 bill to make a small purchase, also at register No. 24. The third suspect, a black woman wearing a white Tshirt, used a $100 bill to pay for a T-shirt at register No. 5. Each transaction took place minutes apart, and each $100 bill had the same serial number, police say. Police say all three arrived together in a dark-colored car. Investigators say the suspects may have been involved in a counterfeiting scheme at the Walmart in Concord. The Salisbury and Concord police departments are working together on the investigations.

DURHAM (AP) — Durham-based Cree Inc. plans to hire 244 new workers in a $135 million expansion of its local manufacturing operations. Gov. Beverly Perdue announced the new jobs Monday. Perdue calls Cree a homegrown success story. Company executive Greg Merritt says the new jobs are in addition to a plan announced last year to hire 575 new workers by the end of 2012. Cree currently has 1,723 workers in Durham County. Cree makes energy-efficient LED lighting. Their products have been used everywhere from the Olympic Games in Beijing to the cafeteria in a congressional office building. The expansion is being aided by up to $2.2 million in state grant money. Cree will get the money if it meets annual performance targets for 10 years.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr says he has concerns about a proposal to spend billions of dollars on disability compensation for Vietnam veterans who get heart disease. Burr is the leading Republican on BURR the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. He said Monday he wants to make sure the science supports the expansion of benefits. Democrats on that panel have previously expressed reservations about the spending and plan to discuss the issue at a Capitol Hill hearing this week. The spending is tied to concerns about the defoliant Agent Orange. The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to allow tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans to get compensation for heart disease, a common ailment for older adults.

ported the 21-year-old man was an experienced surfer and was pulled from the water at Surf City on Sunday afternoon. Police have not released his name or cause of death. The National Weather Service had issued a high surf advisory on Sunday because of Hurricane Igor, moving about 700 miles east of the North Carolina coast. Forecaster Dave Loewenthal says waves were estimated at between 5 feet and 7 feet at Surf City. The man was taken to Cape Fear Hospital, where he died. Friends say the man had taken trips to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico to surf.

National hunting, fishing day set for Saturday Youth and families are the focus of N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission special events in observance of National Hunting and Fishing Day on Saturday. “On a day designated to recognize the contributions of hunters and anglers to conservation, we want to take the opportunity to encourage the next generation,” said Travis Casper, the state’s assistant hunter education coordinator. “The future of fish and wildlife depends upon tomorrow’s stewards.” The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will again host special events at its four education centers and one state fish hatchery across the state: • Centennial Campus Center for Wildlife Education in Raleigh. Call 919-707-0205 for more information. • Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education in Corolla and the Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge. Call 252453-0221 for more information. • John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center in Fayetteville. Call 910-868-5003 for more information. • Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education near Brevard. Call 828-877-4423 for more information. • McKinney Lake Fish Hatchery in Hoffman. Call 910-997-3238 for more information. Gov. Bev Perdue has is-

sued a proclamation in recognition of National Hunting and Fishing Day, declaring that “hunters and anglers were the first conservationists, and have promoted and supported laws that benefit all natural resources, and have proven vital for the protection of habitats.” The proclamation further states that “hunters and anglers bear the critical responsibility that ensures habitat preservation and clean waters and they contribute the funding for fisheries and wildlife management through their purchase of fishing and hunting licenses, and equipment.” The events held on National Hunting and Fishing Day are just an example of year-round efforts by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to educate, encourage and involve people in hunting and fishing. The Commission offers free hunter education courses, Becoming an OutdoorWoman workshops, youth hunts, disabled sportsmen and mobility impaired hunting and fishing opportunities and a fishing tackle loaner program. Congress established National Hunting and Fishing Day to recognize hunters and anglers for their leadership in fish and wildlife conservation in 1972.

Woodleaf man finishes 15th in national outdoors challenge Frankie Walls of Woodleaf finished 15th in the 2010 Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge. Chad Weatherford of Loris, S.C., was named the champion in the event presented by Mobil 1. He earned more than $50,000 in cash and prizes. The seventh annual event, held outside Springfield, Mo., featured sportsmen from across the country competing to determine the nation’s most skilled all-around outdoorsman.

The event will be shown later on the Outdoor Channel. Over the three-day event Weatherford out-fished, out-shot and out-hustled the other top sportsmen to claim the title. The firsttime competitor topped Chris Reed of Thompson Station, Tenn., who was also last year’s second-place finisher. The other N.C. competitors were Paul Thompson of Marion, fifth, and Jeff Haney of Fletcher, 10th.

Outdoors report

Archery hunters trying out crossbows Archery hunters hit the woods in large numbers on Sept. 11, the opening weekend of the archery deer season. Cool temperatures provided comfortable hunting conditions in most areas despite scattered light rain early opening morning. Hunters bagged some great deer in Rowan County, including several nice bucks in full velvet. This season is the first where crossbows are legal for any licensed hunter. Hunters checked in the field were found to be about equally divided by the ones using traditional bows and those with crossbows. Local sporting goods stores, including Hill’s Minnow Farm near High Rock Lake and Lead Chunkers Sporting Goods of Rockwell, reported heavy interest and sales in crossbows and associated equipment. On average, a hunter can purchase a basic crossbow package for under $400, with several models that do not include accessories at a considerable savings.

Changes in law Wildlife officers in Rowan and Davidson counties have been busy answering questions about the changes in the law and on patrol for hunting. On Sept. 4, the first segment of dove season opened in North Carolina. Large numbers of hunters were found across the area, with birds scattered in some locations and flying thick in others. Most hunters were found to be in compliance with all regulations. However, officers in four separate incidents found suspects who were charged with hunting on baited fields. Other charges included exceeding daily bag limits, using unplugged guns and in one case a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. During one investigation, 166 doves were seized along with a shotgun. The areas that were investigated as being baited included a field that sunflower seeds had been broadcast on the surface and several other fields that had broadcast or spread millet seeds on the surface. Those convicted in court for hunting over dove bait face a class 2 misdemeanor, with fines starting at $150, cost of court, loss of hunting licenses for a minimum of a year, loss of any equipment used in the violation and any other judgment the court may impose. During the week before opening of archery season, wildlife officers investigated and charged a Rockwell man for closed season deer hunting and unlawful possession of a deer. The deer was a very large 8-point buck in velvet, and it was taken using a crossbow on the evening of Sept. 4. Officers investigated and recovered the deer head, meat and equipment used. The suspect will appear in court in October. Officers also charged three suspects for night deer hunting. The trio were entering public game lands well before daylight on the opening morning of archery season, when one suspect observed a buck standing beside the road. All three illuminated the “deer” with their head lamps, one using a high intensity hand light. Another drew his bow and began shooting arrows at the

Needless to say, after an arrow finally struck the hapless deer, several wildlife officers who had been standing within 20 feet came out to greet the trio who were actually attempting to shoot “Buckshot,” a mechanical deer. All three were charged with spotlighting deer and one who was suspected of obtaining a resident North Carolina license while being an out of state resident was arrested and taken before a Rowan County magistrate. Three bows and other equipment were seized, with all three suspects due in court in October. Penalties that suspects face for spotlighting deer are listed as a class 2 misdemeanor, fines start at $250, court cost, loss of hunting licenses for two years, loss of equipment involved in the crime, and whatever other judgment the court may impose.

Q&A on crossbows Q. Who can hunt with a crossbow? A. Any properly licensed hunter or licensed-exempt hunter, regardless of disability, can hunt with a crossbow. See page 3 of the 2010-2011 Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest for a description of license-exempt hunters. Q. When can a properly licensed hunter use a crossbow? A. A properly licensed hunter can use a crossbow anytime bow-and-arrow is a legal method of take. For deer, that is any open deer season (bow-and-arrow, muzzleloader and gun). A crossbow can also be used to take any game bird, game animal or nongame animal for which there is a season. See pages 44 to 57 of the 2010-2011 Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest for current season information. Crossbows may not be used to harvest migratory game birds on Sundays. Q. Are there any restrictions on the type of crossbow I can use? A. Crossbows must have a minimum

draw weight of 150 pounds. Only arrows with a fixed minimum broadhead width of 7⁄8 inch or a mechanically opening broadhead with a minimum width of 7⁄8 inch in the open position may be used for taking bear, deer, wild boar or wild turkey. Blunt-type arrows may be used in taking small animals and birds, including, but not limited to, rabbits, squirrels, quail, grouse and pheasants. Poisonous, drugged, barbed or explosive arrows may not be used for taking any game. Q. Can anyone buy a crossbow? A. State law requires that anyone buying or otherwise receiving a crossbow in North Carolina first obtain a pistol permit from the sheriff’s office in their county of residence or currently hold a valid concealed handgun permit. Questions about obtaining pistol permits and issuance of concealed handgun permits should be directed to the sheriff’s department in your county. The Wildlife Resources Commission does not regulate the sale or purchase of firearms and crossbows. Q. Why won’t catalog retailers sell me a crossbow? A. It is company policy of some retailers that if any state has a restriction requiring special permitting for the purchase of an item, the retailer will not sell that item to a person in that state. Q. What if I already own a crossbow? Do I need a permit? A. No. State law applies only to anyone buying or otherwise receiving a crossbow. The Wildlife Resources Commission does not regulate the sale or purchase of firearms and crossbows. All questions about pistol permits should be directed to your county sheriff. Q. I purchased my crossbow in another state. Do I need a permit to bring it into North Carolina? A. No. State law applies only to anyone buying or otherwise receiving a crossbow in North Carolina. The Wildlife Resources Commission does not regulate the sale or purchase of firearms and crossbows. Q. Can I “borrow” someone else’s crossbow while hunting? A. Yes, as long as the transfer is temporary. State law requires that anyone receiving a crossbow in North Carolina first obtain a pistol permit from the sheriff’s office in their county of residence or currently hold a valid concealed handgun permit. Here area some answers to commonly asked questions about hunting on Sunday: Bow hunting and falconry on private lands and falconry on public lands on Sundays will be legal starting this fall. Any properly licensed hunter or license-exempt hunter can hunt on Sundays. See page 3 of the 2010-2011 Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest for a description of licenseexempt hunters. Hunters may use longbows, recurved bows, compound bows and crossbows on Sundays. No firearms are allowed. ■■■ E-mail Sgt. Anthony Sharum of the N.C. Wildlife Resources at huntfishguy66@aol.com.

Wife is constantly under suspicion

Dear Frustrated: You may think this constant suspicion and surveillance is frustrating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abusive. If your husband has absolutely no cause to suspect you of anything

and if nothing you do will assuage his concerns, then you will be trapped in this unhealthy cycle, which may escalate. You and your husband must work this out to have a healthy relationship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and you must have a good relationship to be the best possible parents to your young children. His insecurities and accusations will kill your marriage, and he needs to stop.

in terms of his food choices. You are still getting to know each other; you should look for ways to guide and influence him, without being too strident. You can try to positively influence him by offering to show him how to cook some simple dishes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including pasta and home-baked pizza. These dishes can be healthy if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made with fresh ingredients.

Dear Amy: My grandson is a college student, and he recently moved in with me because I live close to his college. He is 23 years old, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about him until now. He is a good boy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clean, intelligent and a good student. However, his eating habits drive me crazy. He is addicted to soda and drinks at least 10 Cokes a day. He only eats junk food and refuses to eat healthy stuff like fruit and vegetables. The only food he eats is spaghetti and pizza. I have offered him some homecooked meals, but he refused to even taste my food. I am a retired RN, and I know about nutrition. I had talked to my daughter (his mom) about this, and she said I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it. I am worried about the consequences of his unhealthy diet. What do you think I should do? I already explained basic nutrition to him and explained what a human body needs to survive. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Concerned Gramma

Dear Amy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frustrated Fatherâ&#x20AC;? didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have all his vacations with the in-laws. Marriage is akin to bouncing a basketball down lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highway as opposed to rolling it. A rolling ball will explode from friction after a few miles. The farther the ball is bounced, the longer it will last. Translated, this means space in a marriage. He should buy a cheap tent and go to Yellowstone on his own. Take a lot of pictures, and I will guarantee he will not go alone next year. He will imprint on his kids what family vacations are all about. Having fun for everyone. After 55 years of marriage, I know of what I speak. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Outdoor Loving Grandpa

Dear Gramma: Other than ask your grandson to cut down on the soda he drinks each day, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you should interfere too much

Judge issues arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge on Monday issued an arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan after the actress acknowledged failing a drug test. The 24-year-old actress could wind up back behind bars if she is found to have violated probation. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox LOHAN issued the bench warrant in Beverly Hills, but Lohan will remain free pending a Friday court hearing, according

to officials from Los Angeles County Superior Court. A message left with Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney was not immediately returned. Lohan confirmed on her Twitter page last week that she failed a court-ordered drug and alcohol screening. Lohan spent two weeks in jail this year after violating probation stemming from convictions involving her 2007 arrests for drug use and driving under the influence. She spent another 23 days undergoing rehabilitation at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Fox had threatened her with 30 days in jail for each probation violation. Fox must now decide whether to send her back to jail or back into treatment. Lohan posted a series of Twitter messages last Friday acknowledging her drug problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test,â&#x20AC;? she tweeted. She also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it.â&#x20AC;? Lohan often posts updates with the account thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verified by Twitter as belonging to the actress.

I am a good wife, and I believe in the sacrament of marriage. I have shared this with friends and family, and they say he might be doing this snooping because he is doing something wrong.

HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOW

A ‘big deal’ for speedway Managing human error t’s tempting to cast last week’s announcement of the Carolina Christmas holiday light show at Charlotte Motor Speedway as a case of Rowan County’s loss being Bruton Smith’s gain. It’s tempting but, in the end, not a true reading of this Christmas story. It was a loss for Rowan County last year when Mike Miller and the Midwest Display company yanked the plug on a proposal to bring a drive-through holiday light show to Summit Corporate Center, the county business park. We’ll never know how successful that venture might have been. But the manner in which the discussions fell apart, with Miller accusing county officials — or more specifically, Commissioner Tina Hall — of erecting obstacles to the proposal and subjecting him and Midwest Display to a fifth-degree interrogation about its plans, left a Grinchlike impression. It may be, as Commission Chairman Card Ford has stated, that a majority of commissioners would have approved the deal if it had been left on the table. But the damage had been done. Still, comparing the Summit Center proposal to the speedway extravaganza is like comparing Rudolph’s nose to a Hollywood strobe light. Instead of 20,000 cars (maybe), we’re talking about 100,000 vehicles (maybe). Instead of 120 or so light displays, we’re talking about 500. Instead of an economic impact of about $1 million, we’re talking about $10 million. Instead of Summit Corporate Center, we’re talking about a major venue that already has the infrastructure and experience to handle the logistics and traffic grid for this kind of event. We’re also talking about a venue that is just a few minutes away from Concord Mills, which is the state’s No. 1 tourist destination — as we’re endlessly told — and a beehive of holiday activity. You also can see the bigger-is-better theme reflected in ticket prices. Instead of $15 a vehicle, as was planned for the Summit show, the fee will be $20 per carload to tour the displays at CMS. No doubt about it, the Carolina Christmas show is, as Governor Perdue put it, a “big deal” in terms of regional holiday attractions, and Miller Davis Studios scored a coup in pulling it together and landing the management contract. Congratulations to Mike Miller and his employees. This further raises the profile of an important Salisbury business that was already recognized as one of the region’s most important marketing firms. That’s the real story here — a major new regional holiday attraction, with a local business playing a central role in its management and marketing. If the projected vehicle counts materialize, this will be a holiday boost for Cabarrus County and the surrounding region. Who knows? Even though Rowan lost out on the lights, it may still catch some of the reflected glow.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they’re going. — P.J. O’Rourke

Moderately Confused

aybe I’m just sour grapes because none of my four kids seems to be sportsoriented. Fitness, yes. Organized sports — except for cheerleading and low-key park district teams — not so much. I can live with that, especially when I witness the fanatic youthsports culture take off each fall. I’m not talking primarily about school teams, where general scholastic demands theoretically check sports excess. But, rather, the independent, often “traveling” sports teams not associated with a school or park district, including soccer, tennis and hockey, BETSY which have explodHART ed in popularity in recent decades. Such teams often play much longer seasons than the school-based ones, and don’t have the academic and other constraints of school teams. Today it’s easy to watch families — more typically, parts of families — of even junior-high kids regularly pack up and take off for the weekend to watch a child play several soccer games in another state. Today an estimated 44 million children participate in youthsports programs, with most of those doing so outside of school. Many involve fundamentally changing a family’s schedule and priorities. Rates of youth-sports injuries, particularly repetitive-use injuries, are on the rise. And participation on such teams can be financially draining. This is so at odds with what I knew as a kid. What’s going on? Dan Gould is the director of the Institute for the Study of Youth Sports, at Michigan State University. He’s big on youth athletics, but believes there’s a youth-sports craze today different from — and often less healthy than — what went on in decades past. One factor, he says, is the 24hour cable coverage of sports news and the glamour of huge money paid today’s professional athletes. Parents, he told me, should be aware that the chances of a child’s getting even a partial athletic scholarship to college are very small, far less than getting an academic scholarship. And — hello! — becoming a professional athlete is rarer still, of course. Even so, Gould says the anecdotal evidence points to kids “specializing,” as he puts it, in one sport, often nearly year-round and forgoing all others and the benefit of that variety at ever-younger ages. Even 8 and 10. Sometimes it’s in pursuit of the brass ring. But sometimes it’s because of pressure from others pursuing the brass ring. No wonder. Gould notes that parents’ egos today are tied up in how their children “perform” in a way they just weren’t several decades ago. I say, “Preach it, brother!” The flip side is that youth sports can help lead to a lifetime of fitness and the character-building habits of hard work and teamwork. Some kids do have a passion to pursue excellence in a sport, and some parents will argue that focusing on a sport together builds a family bond. So, how to encourage the right attitudes — and even the dream of the major leagues — in a way that’s healthy? Gould suggests that parents think through and then write out why they want their kids involved in sports. Parents, he suggests, might consider these objectives: urging their kids to have fun and pursue general fitness and sports skills; working with coaches to issue “report cards” that measure things besides winning, like attitude and how kids get along with teammates; encouraging their kids to take regular breaks from sports; and asking them to think through why and to what extent they want to participate the next season. Sure, there is that very rare child who is gifted at — and passionate about — a sport who perhaps should go all out, and do so early. Somebody has to win Olympic gold, after all. But whatever the case, Gould suggested that when it comes to athletics, parents shouldn’t view their children as “an investment.” That can be a recipe for disaster. Rather, he said, they should invest in their kids by striving to first encourage in them a lifelong, balanced love of sports. • • • Betsy Hart is the author of “It Takes a Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting is Hurting our Kids — And What to do About It” (Putnam Books).

‘Just Culture’ can enhance long-term care BY MARY ANN JOHNSON For the Salisbury Post

ave you ever made an error at work? Did it result in your dismissal? What if you worked in an environment where errors weren’t allowed? Long-term care leaders from throughout the state including representatives of the North Carolina Board of Nursing gathered at Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks recently to learn about Just Culture, a system of risk management that is gaining momentum in hospitals and catching the attention of the nursing home providers. Just Culture was developed by David Marx, a system safety engineer with a juris doctor in law, who has worked to bring safety science and law together to reduce risk and improve organizational safety. As part of a statewide effort to support culture change in long term-care, Marx approached Lutheran Services for the Aging (LSA) President Ted W. Goins Jr. about training LSA leadership staff as a way of introducing the program to long-term care providers and to jump-start the program in North Carolina. Goins stated, “Just Culture has developed an international following and is recognized as a better way to treat people. Having this training provided to our staff is an unbelievable opportunity for our organization.” According to Just Culture consultant Marie Dotseth, Just Culture is just that — a culture that is fair and just. “People make mistakes,” said Dotseth. “No one in health care wants to hurt people. Health care workers hold themselves to a very high standard.” But because human error in health care can be so disastrous, the reaction to mistakes is usually swift and punitive. “In a Just Culture,” said Dotseth, “the organization holds employees accountable for their behavior, but is not overly punitive and affords the opportunity to study and learn from mistakes. “Both people and systems make mistakes, but we punish instead of learning. A Just Culture holds that humans will never be perfect, that every human task has some rate of error, and that systems must be properly designed to manage human error and improve reliability.” Errors rarely lie solely with the individual, but also lie within the system. Getting rid of the person who made the error is not likely to get rid of the problem. “There is a limited pool of nurses and caregivers,” said Dotseth. “We need to develop tools to identify and manage risky behavior before events take place.” Dotseth cited the case of two Indianapolis newborns who died after receiving adult doses of the anti-clotting drug Heparin as an example of human error and system failure. “The vials were accidentally stocked in the same drawer and were nearly identical in appearance,” she stated. “The nurses made mistakes, but the systems also failed

them.” To make her point, Dotseth referred to a universal example of human error. “Have any of you ever done that?” she asked, pointing to a photo of a car heading down the highway dragging a hose from its gas tank. According to Dotseth, because humans will consistently make that type of error, systems were redesigned to improve reliability or decrease human error. “Cars were redesigned so that you have to fill the gas tank from the driver’s side, meaning you’d probably see the hose before you got into your car. Automatic shutoffs were also added to gas pumps, which don’t stop the error, but do control the damage.: Errors in industries such as health care, aviation or nuclear power hold such dire consequences that the need to find ways to manage error and Consulant Marie avoid adverse outDotseth says the comes is more inJust Culture system tense. Yet ways to focuses on lowering manage error are risks rather than pun- more likely to be found in a culture ishing mistakes. that shifts the focus from punishment to learning and creating the best possible system designs. In a Just Culture, behaviors resulting in errors are divided into three categories: human error which is inadvertent, a slip, a lapse and unexplainable 70 to 80 percent of the time (see gas pump story); at-risk behaviors, where the risk isn’t recognized or is mistakenly believed to be OK (going five or six miles an hour over the speed limit); and reckless behaviors, where a conscious and willful decision has been made to ignore an unjustifiable risk (a deliberate decision to drink and drive). A Just Culture algorithm, a step-by-step logical procedure developed by lawyers and scientists, is then used to evaluate and address the behavior, giving the employer a tool to aid in determining the right course of action for the employee. In a Just Culture, human error is consoled, at-risk behavior is coached and reckless behavior is punished. Dotseth stated, “People cannot be punished into perfection. Human error, whether or not there is a negative outcome from the error, must be reported in order to redesign systems and reduce risks. In a Just Culture, employees know that disclosing errors is the right thing to do and will result in a better outcomes for the people in their care.” • • • Mary Ann Johnson is the director of community and foundation relations for Lutheran Services for the Aging.

Sarah and John From a blog post by Democratic political consultant Gary Pearce, writing at www.talkingaboutpolitics.com: Vanity Fair magazine has a scathing profile of Sarah Palin that sounds eerily familiar. Below are some of the article’s characterizations of Palin. I ask you: What other wellknown political figure does this sound like? “Erratic behavior and a pattern of lying…” “Sarah Palin’s connection with her audience is complete.” “…anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palin’s life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath.” “Warm and effusive in public, indifferent or angry in private: this is the pattern of Palin’s behavior toward the people who make her life possible.” Then there are the expensive additions to her home in Wasilla: “A TV studio on her property, where contractors are now also finishing a 6,000square-foot stone-clad château that will contain an airplane hangar for Todd’s Piper Cub, two private apartments, and an office for Sarah.”

Palin

Edwards

Even more clothes spending in the 2008 campaign than was reported: “For Sarah, the campaign bought about 30 pairs of shoes, roughly $3,000 worth of underwear (including many Spanx girdles), a pair of Bose headphones costing more than $300, and even her incidentals and toiletries.” This insight into her character: “Almost any small-town person who makes it big has some slight edge of ruthlessness, or an above-average ability to cut and run.” Then there is how she lost interest in her job as Governor – and quit. Reported tensions with her husband. And the feelings among the McCain campaign that she was looking out more for herself than her running mate in 2008. To me, it sounds like a female John Edwards. You can only wonder whether her eventual fall will be more spectacular than his.

Governor seeks to remove prosecutor who ‘sexted’ victim MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s governor said Monday he would start the process of removing a district attorney caught sending sexually harassing text messages to a domestic abuse victim. At a news conference after the Associated Press reported the messages, Gov. Jim Doyle said he was “deeply, deeply troubled” by Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz’s behavior and would appoint a commissioner to review the matter as soon as he receives a verified complaint. He expects to receive that complaint from a local taxpayer, which is required under state law, in coming days and “act swiftly.” Doyle’s office also made public a letter sent last week from a second woman who says Kratz abused his position in seeking a relationship with her earlier this year. In the letter, the woman said Kratz gave her confidential details of a highprofile investigation and invited her to a slain woman’s autopsy “provided I act as his girlfriend and would wear high heels and a skirt.” His office redacted the name of the woman who complained, but the governor said

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fish or frankenfish? A Massachusetts company wants to market a genetically engineered version of Atlantic salmon, and regulators are weighing the request. If approval is given, it would be the first time the government allowed such modified animals to join the foods that go onto the nation’s dinner tables. Ron Stotish, CEO of AquaBounty, said at Monday’s first of two days of hearings that his company’s fish product is safe and environmentally sustainable. Food and Drug Administration officials have largely agreed with him, saying the salmon, which grows twice as fast as its conventional “sisters,” is as safe to eat as the traditional variety. But they have not yet decided whether to approve the request. Critics call the modified salmon a “frankenfish” that could cause allergies in humans and the eventual decimation of the wild salmon population. An FDA advisory committee is reviewing the science of the genetically engineered fish this week and hearing such criticisms as the agency ponders approval. Whether the public will have an appetite for it is another matter. Genetic engineering is already widely used for crops, but the government until now has not considered allowing the consumption of modified animals. Although the potential benefits — and profits — are huge, many people have qualms about manipulating the genetic code of other living creatures.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama reached out fervently Monday to skeptical voters who are still hurting long after the declared end of the recession, imploring them to stick with him in elections that could inflict catastrophic losses on Democrats in just six weeks. Recognizing the economy is the campaign’s Issue No. 1 — and a peril for his party — Obama vigorously defended his recovery efforts and challenged tea party activists as well as the Republicans who are clamoring to take over Congress to spell just how they would do better. Republicans said that’s just what they intended to do, on Thursday. House Republicans said they would roll out a roughly 20-point agenda — on jobs, spending, health care, national security and reforming Congress — at a hardware store in suburban Virginia. Unimpressed in advance, the president said, “We have tried what they’re offering.” Addressing the GOP and tea party candidates, he said, “It’s not enough just to say, ‘Get control of government.’ ” Campaign style, Obama finished his town hall-like event on the economy and then headed to Pennsylvania to raise money and rally dispirited Democrats for Joe Sestak in a tough Senate race against Republican Pat Toomey.

East tennis tops Carson BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — East Rowan girls tennis coach Tracy Greene said she 7 has “never” played the sport, E. Rowan 2 but the Mustangs are making Carson her first season a success. East remained undefeated in the NPC with a 7-2 victory Monday against Carson, which could finish tied with Statesville for second place in the league. Last year, with coach Laurie Wyrick in charge, the Mustangs shared the regulars e a son title with Statesville and won a tiebreaker that determined playoff seeding. Wyrick stepped away so she could spend more time with her family, and Greene is in her first year as a teacher at East. Greene taught last year at Salisbury, home of the 2A girls tennis champions. Chris Myers, the Hornets’ coach, encouraged Greene to fill the vacancy at her new school. “Coach Myers told me they’re pretty good girls and they’re good players, so he was like, ‘You should go ahead and do that,’ when he found out I was going to East,” Greene said. “When we first started practicing, I could see they were good girls and good players. They know what they’re doing even though I don’t really know what I’m doing.” Bret Strelow/saLisBUrY post

Clausen to start Sunday

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — There’s a swagger and style about Clint Bowyer that should put him high on the list of NASCAR’s most likable drivers. But with just three Sprint Cup wins on his resume, he BOWYER hasn’t put up the performances needed to capture widespread attention. That could be on the verge of changing. Bowyer’s win Sunday in the opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship was a breath of fresh air to a NASCAR fan base weary of Jimmie Johnson’s four-year reign of dominance. A blue-collar racer who rose through the ranks of Midwest short track racing, Bowyer so far has resisted being molded into a polished corporate pitchman. So as Bowyer celebrated his victory with his Richard Childress Racing crew, vice president of competition Mike Dillon pointed out to the boss just how big the win could be for the entire sport. “He came over to me in the winner’s circle and said, ‘This is the best thing for NASCAR. We need somebody like Clint Bowyer winning races and running for this championship,’ ” team owner Richard Childress recalled. “He came from the short tracks, the dirt tracks. He’s worked and he’s earned his way to where he is today. He’s very fan friendly. The fans love him. “It’s what I think NASCAR needs, a new type of hero.” It’s just one round into the 10-race Chase, but NASCAR had to have been pleased with Sunday’s show. The race was full of twists and turns for the championship contenders, who all insisted the championship couldn’t be won at New Hampshire but it most certainly could be lost. A poor finish in the opener could derail the title hopes of an entire team, and a decent day, well, that could hurdle a driver into the heart of the battle. It’s what happened to Bowyer, who slid into the 12-driver field as the final seed.

rookie quarterback Jimmy clausen completed seven passes for 53 yards against the Bucs.

CHARLOTTE — A day before his 23rd birthday, Jimmy Clausen received a job promotion he seemed destined for since before he entered high school: NFL starting quarterback. In a rapid ascension made possible by Matt Moore’s six turnovers and Carolina’s 0-2 start, Panthers coach John Fox an- MOORE nounced Monday the second-round pick from Notre Dame will start Sunday’s game against Cincinnati. “I’ve dreamt it for my whole life, to be a starting quarterback in the National Football League,” said Clausen, who went unbeaten in high school and was one of the nation’s top college recruits before playing in the Notre Dame spotlight. “It’s real exciting, but at same

time it’s a job. You’ve got to go prepare.” Clausen, whose stunning fall to 48th overall amid concerns about his attitude was one of the top stories of April’s draft, will take over the NFL’s 28th-rated offense as Carolina seeks to avoid a second straight 0-3 start. “We’ve just not been getting it done,” said Fox, facing his own uncertainty in the final year of his contract. “Jimmy is a guy we think highly of. I thought he made the most of his opportunities Sunday. We’ll see how it goes this week.” Clausen’s promotion was accelerated by Moore’s dismal start to the season, a steep fall from his strong 4-1 finish as a starter last season that helped pave the way for s e v en-year starter Jake Delhomme’s release in March. “I’m not happy with it,” Moore said. “I understand, I accept it. But it’s definitely not what you want to hear as a player. I’ll be behind Jimmy as the weeks go on.”

New Orleans nips 49ers on final play BY JANIE MCCAULEY Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Last season, the New Orleans Saints 25 Saints won their 49ers 22 games with a highflying offense. So far this year it’s been all about defense. Garrett Hartley kicked a 37-yard field goal that barely fluttered through as time expired after Drew Brees set it up with a 30-yard completion to Marques Colston and the Saints spoiled the San Francisco 49ers’ home opener with a 25-22 victory Monday night. San Francisco’s Frank Gore ran for

a 7-yard touchdown with 1:19 to play and Vernon Davis made a close-call catch at the goal line for the tying two-point conversion. The play was initially called no good, but the 49ers (0-2) challenged the ruling and won. The defending Super Bowl champion Saints (2-0), who relied on their defense most of the game, got the ball back at the 30 with 1:14 left and the wind at their back. Brees hit Colston with a pass that put the Saints on the 18 with 18 seconds left. The 49ers watched anxiously as Hartley’s kick just made it. “We’ve stayed with the mindset we are the hunter, not the hunted,” Brees

said moments after the thrilling finish. Reggie Bush caught a 6-yard TD pass in his first game since giving back his 2005 Heisman Trophy won while with Southern California. The NCAA punished USC after concluding that Bush and his family took money and gifts from sports agents while Bush played for the Trojans. Bush was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 6:58 left and then was taken to the locker room on a cart. No information was given on the severity of the injury.

Bronco found dead ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead in his apartment Monday in an apparent suicide. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said authorities were called to McKinley’s apartment in Centennial at 3:35 p.m. local time and found his body in the second-floor master bedroom. He said detectives believe McKinley, 23, was killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Robinson said authorities were called by a female friend of McKinley’s who discovered the body after returning from an errand with his child. The sheriff declined to say if authorities found a suicide note. “It’s still part of our investigation

and probably nothing we’ll talk about right now,” he said. McKinley’s death is the latest in a series of tragedies for the Broncos in recent years. Cornerback Darrent Williams was slain in a drive-by shooting on New Year’s Day 2007 and three months later backup running back Damien Nash collapsed and died after a charity basketball game in St. Louis. “Everyone with the Broncos is shocked and saddened by the loss of Kenny McKinley,” team owner Pat Bowlen said in a statement. “He was part of the Broncos’ family and will be greatly missed by our organization. My most heartfelt condolences go out to Kenny’s family and friends.”

Clemson in regrouping mode COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Clemson’s week off couldn’t have come at a better time. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said Monday his coaches and players would have the week to clean up the things that went wrong in a 27-24 OT loss at Auburn and build on the things that went right. They also won’t have to rush banged-up quarterback Kyle Parker into action for nearly two weeks. Parker was in visible pain after a shot to the back might’ve cracked some ribs. Instead, x-rays showed no broken bones, Swinney said. The sophomore passer will be limited at practice for a couple of days, then jump with both feet into preparations for the Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Miami on Oct. 2. “Got nailed pretty good right in the back there,” Swinney said. “He’s really, really sore.” More likely to miss the game is offensive lineman David Smith, who was taken off the field with what looked like a serious ankle injury. Swinney said Smith’s prognosis also came back better than expected, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound junior diagnosed with a sprain that should not keep him out long. Swinney was happy with much of what he saw at Jordan-Hare Stadium, except for the outcome. The Tigers gave up all of a 17-point lead and trailed 24-17, yet forced overtime with a fourth-quarter touchdown. Chandler Catanzaro had apparently tied things up again with a field goal for Clemson in the first overtime. But snapper Matt Skinner double-clutched for a penalty and Catanzaro missed the retry from 5yards further back. Parker said despite the loss, Clemson has the talent to match up with the game’s best — a message he’ll

emphasize to the younger players this week. “I guess we can just our players that we can really play with anyone, but we’ve just got to finish it and we’ll be alright,” he said Saturday night. Swinney had talked all last week coming in that while he had an idea about the makeup of his team, he couldn’t be sure after lopsided wins over North Texas and Presbyterian. The Clemson Tigers responded at Auburn just like Swinney thought they would. When Auburn took the lead, Swinney said his players showed a “noquit attitude. That’s what I want the foundation of the team to be.” Swinney thought his Tigers got the biggest hits and were the more physical team throughout. He said his offensive and defensive lines controlled things for much of the game and, except for the defensive meltdown in the third quarter that saw Auburn score three touchdowns, were the more dominant units. “I thought we were the more physical team and that was a good thing for me to see,” Swinney said. Swinney plans to hammer home that Clemson still has its ACC goals in front of them, starting with Miami. The Auburn performance should prove to players they can face adversity and answer back, Swinney said, as they showed on a 77-yard, fourth-quarter drive that ended with Andre Ellington’s tying 2-yard touchdown run. “You just never know until you really get challenged and somebody punches you in the mouth,” the coach said. “That was the thing that was most encouraging to me, when they went up and then we put that drive together and really dominated the fourth quarter.” The players and coaches came in Sunday to watch the Auburn game

Selig rules out increased replays NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball commissioner Bud Selig ruled out increased use of instant replay by umpires to review close calls during the postseason this year. Selig said he discussed the matter with the special committee of managers, management and ownership he appointed in December. “I brought the subject up, as I always do with everybody,” Selig said at Yankee Stadium on Monday night. “I don’t get the feeling that there’s a lot of support for it, at least their conversations with me.” Baseball instituted video review to assist umpires late in the 2008 season, but limited its use to whether

potential home runs are fair and whether the ball went over the fence. “We’re analyzing things,” Selig said. “Our committee said we need to study it more, maybe have a few more months of study. But from the numbers that I heard, of the controversial tough plays, they got something like 98 percent right.” Selig said the key issue for him is the delays. He said there is no support for increased use of replay on the committee — or any clamor for it from baseball executives. “We’ll continue to look at it. I’m not going to say no,” he said. “Baseball is a game of pace, and therefore one has to be sensitive.”

Soccer: Carson prevails From staff reports

Carson’s soccer team beat West Rowan 5-1 for an NPC victory on Monday. The young Cougars, who have eight freshmen, have won back-to-back games for the first time this season. “It’s something we have failed to do, especially with the amount of tough pre-conference games and the amount of new faces on our squad,” Carson coach Daniel Scullion said. Junior midfielder Jorge Sanchez found some space and knocked in a shot from 18 yards out for the first goal. Carson freshman Fox Correll scored twice for a 3-0 lead. Abraham Carillo scored for the Falcons to make it 3-1 at halftime. Carson upped the tempo and controlled the second half. B.J. Collins scored with a header off a corner for the Cougars’ fourth goal, and Jarvin Lopez recorded the final goal in the closing minutes. “I felt we had a good game tonight,” Scullion said. “It’s nice to see we are starting to convert our chances. A lot of credit should also be given to our midfield.” Ivan Hernandez had a nice game in the midfield for the Cougars. “Ivan did a lot of the work behind our goals,” Scullion said. “He put on a selfless display.” Carson (5-6, 2-1 NPC) plays a league game at North Iredell on Wednesday. West Rowan (3-6, 1-2 NPC) plays at Statesville on Wednesday. OTHER NPC Statesville rolled 9-0 over East Rowan on Monday to stay unbeaten in the NPC. East is 3-6 overall and 1-2 in the league. West Iredell nipped North Iredell 4-3. CCC Ranked as the No. 1 team in 2A, Salisbury (10-0) has a big game on Wednesday at 12th-ranked West Davidson in the CCC opener for both teams. The Hornets are the only unbeaten 2A team.

Carson sophomore Kelly Dulkoski, left, won 6-1, 6-2 against East Rowan senior Devan Corpening, right, at No. 1 singles on Monday afternoon.

TENNIS FROM 1B Kelly Dulkoski and Carol Brown gave Carson (6-3, 5-3 NPC) victories at the top two singles spots, but East (8-3, 8 - 0) won the other four singles matches and swept doubles. Rebecca Agner, Hannah Pressley, Kayela Wilson and Lizzie Weaver helped stake the Mustangs to a 4-0 lead. Agner-Weaver and PressleyTaylor Trexler prevailed in doubles before Megan Bullins-Wilson completed an 8-6 victory against Dulkoski-

Brown at No. 1. “It felt good to win against them because they’re a pretty good team,” Bullins said. “Me and Kayela, this was our first time at No. 1 doubles, so this will build up our confidence.” In the first meeting with the Mustangs — a 6-3 winner

over Carson — Dulkoski and Brown also came out on top in singles before teaming together for a douWEAVER bles victory. Dulkoski dropped the first game at No. 1 singles against Devan Corpening on Monday and then reeled off 11 straight in a 6-1, 6-2 decision. Brown remained unbeaten in singles despite losing the first set to Bullins. Brown claimed the final six points of the third-set

tiebreaker in a 2-6, 6-4, (10-4) win. “That was in my head, that I’d like to go out senior year with a good ending,” Brown said of her unblemished record. “I thought about it, and it definitely gave me some motivation. “First set I played hard and tried to hit with power behind it. Second set I realized that wasn’t working, so I just got more consistent.” Hannah Shinn, Harley Graham, Haylee Hepler and Vanessa Evans filled out the rest of Carson’s lineup Monday afternoon. The Cougars won their first meeting against a short-hand-

ed Statesville team but lost the second time, when the Greyhounds were at full strength with top seed SHINN Ali Boggs playing. Boggs participated for Statesville when it fell 7-2 to East Rowan in Granite Quarry on Aug. 25, and a series sweep would likely mean that Carson shares second place. “It’s been a great year,” Brown said. “We’ve definitely improved a lot.”

East’s Rebecca Agner won at No. 3 singles.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees helped honor George Steinbrenner with a monumental win. After the Yankees unveiled a huge monument to their late owner, Jeter singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth inning. Curtis Granderson followed with his second home run of the night, a threerun drive that helped New York to an 8-6 victory Monday over the second-place Tampa Bay Rays in a key AL East matchup. Winning the opener of a four-game series that started its final homestand, New York (91-59) opened a 11⁄2-game lead over the Rays (89-60). After Tampa rallied from a four-run deficit, Jeter’s hit off Matt Garza (14-9) followed Brett Gardner’s leadoff infield single and Francisco Cervelli’s hit-andrun single through the vacated hole at shortstop. With New York ahead 5-4, Granderson greeted Grant Balfour with a three-run homer. Chad Gaudin (1-4) won in relief of rookie Ivan Nova. Twins 9, Indians 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia and Michael Cuddyer hit home runs and Brian Duensing got his 10th win for the Twins. Minneosta’s victory and a White Sox loss to Oakland cut the Twins’ magic number for winning the AL Central to two. Cuddyer’s two-run shot capped the Twins’ four-run sixth after the Indians had closed within 4-3 in the top of the inning. Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer will undergo tests today on his injured knee. Orioles 4, Red Sox 2 BOSTON — Ty Wigginton had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly and Luke Scott followed with an RBI single in the seventh inning, lifting Baltimore over the Red Sox. The Orioles, rejuvenated since Buck Showalter took over as manager Aug. 3, won for the 11th time 15 games. Baltimore won for just the fourth time in their last 21 games in Fenway Park. David Hernandez (8-8) worked two innings of relief for the win. Tigers 7, Royals 5 DETROIT— Will Rhymes hit his first major league homer and Alex Avila drove in three runs and made a spectacular defensive play to lead the Tigers past Kansas City. Detroit trailed 5-4 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, then took the lead on Rhymes’ two-run homer off Zack Greinke (9-13). Yuniesky Betancourt matched a career high with four hits for Kansas City, including a three-run homer. A’s 3, White Sox 0 White Sox starting pitcher Gavin Floyd left the game after seven pitches due to tightness in the back of his right shoulder. Chiacago reliever Tony Pena dueled for six scoreless innings against Oakland starter Gio Gonzalez. Oakland finally got three runs in the seventh, keyed by Kurt Suzuki’s two-run single. Suzuki went 3-for-4. National League PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels had another outstanding outing and the Philadelphia Phillies took advantage of an error by right fielder Jason Heyward to beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night, increasing their lead in the NL East to four games. The two-time defending NL champions won their eighth straight game and improved to 42-15 since July 21, when they trailed the Braves by seven games. Hamels (12-10) allowed one run and six hits, striking out six in eight innings to win his fifth straight start — a career best. Brad Lidge finished for his 24th save in 29 chances. Brandon Beachy (0-1) gave up three runs — one earned — and four hits in 41⁄3 innings in his major league debut. He was a late fill-in for Jair Jurrjens, still nursing a sore right knee. Marlins 4, Cardinals 0 MIAMI — Chris Volstad threw a fivehitter for his second career shutout, Brad Davis hit a grand slam off Chris Carpenter, and Florida dealt St. Louis’ dimming playoff hopes a blow by beating the Cardinals. The game was a makeup following a rainout on Aug. 8, and the teams needed only 1 hour, 52 minutes to finish — it was the fastest game in Marlins’ history, by 2 minutes. Davis’ first career slam — the first by a Marlins catcher — came in the second inning, the first allowed by Carpenter in 3,699 at-bats since June 12, 2004. Astros 8, Nationals 2 WASHINGTON — Humberto Quintero and Geoff Blum each homered in a seven-run fifth inning, Bud Norris won for the seventh time in eight decisions and Houston beat the mistake-prone Washington Nationals. Norris (9-8) allowed two runs and six hits in 62⁄3 innings. The Astros are 10-1 in his last 11 starts. Houston has won six of eight. Washington lost its fourth straight. The Nationals committed three errors leading to four unearned runs in the fifth, when the Astros erased Washington’s 2-1 lead. Quintero’s two-run homer and Blum’s three-run drive came off Livan Hernandez (10-12). The game drew 10,999, smallest crowd in, D.C., since the Montreal Expos relocated before the 2005 season.

Baseball Today Sept. 21 1934 — Daffy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals pitched a no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers for 3-0 victory in the second game of an Ebbets Field doubleheader. Daffy’s brother Dizzy, held Brooklyn hitless until the eighth inning in the opener and won 13-0. 1964 — Manager Gene Mauch’s firstplace Phillies lost 1-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Chico Ruiz’s steal of home in the sixth inning. It was Philadelphia’s first of 10 straight losses, a streak that cost them the NL pennant. 1970 — Oakland’s Vida Blue pitched a no-hitter in his eighth major league start, beating Minnesota 6-0. 1981 — Steve Carlton struck out Andre Dawson in the third inning for the pitcher’s 3,118th career strikeout, the most in the NL. But the Phillies lost to Montreal 10 in 17 innings. 1995 — Colorado’s John Vander Wal set a major league record with his 26th pinch-hit of the season, a home run in the seventh inning against San Francisco. 2000 — Colorado’s Jeff Cirillo doubled twice in a 13-4 win over San Diego, giving him 51 doubles for the year. Cirillo and Todd Helton (57) became the seventh pair of teammates in major league history to reach 50 doubles in the same season. 2001 — Albert Pujols hit a grand slam and doubled in a run in St. Louis’ 9-5 win over Pittsburgh. The slam gave him the major league record for extra base hits by a rookie (83), one more than Johnny Frederick’s total for Brooklyn in 1929. 2003 — Greg Maddux became the first pitcher in major league history to win at least 15 games in 16 consecutive sea-

Promising Cubs rookie will miss rest of season CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin remained hospitalized in Miami on Monday, a day after his season ended when part of a shattered bat wound up puncturing his chest. “You never want to have a season end early, and I’m disappointed that I’m not going to be able to make it through the finish line with the rest of my teammates,” Colvin said in a statement released by the team. “That being said, I couldn’t be more thankful for the Cubs organization, my teammates and the opportunity to play for Cubs fans my rookie season.” Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said he spoke with Colvin. “Hopefully he’s going home tomorrow,” Selig said. “It scared me.” Colvin was standing at third base in the second inning of Chicago’s 13-3 victory at Florida on Sunday when he was struck by a sliver of Welington Castillo’s broken bat. Castillo doubled on the play and Colvin scored. A Cubs trainer said Colvin was hit in his upper chest, allowing air into his chest well and potentially into his lungs. He was being treated with a chest tube to prevent a collapsed lung and was expected to remain at a Miami hospital for a few more days for observation. The issue of maple bats and how they shatter has been something that Major League Baseball has studied. Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought it up Mon-

day. “You see that guy get hit with the bat yesterday,” he said. “Why does that have to happen? It’s just surprising to me that it hasn’t happened before to anyone, the fans or the umpires.” Cubs manager Mike Quade said he had never seen anything like it before. But he didn’t suggest there was a controversy. “I have no opinion on that right now,” he said after the game. “Somebody with a better knowledge of physics, density of wood, I think would be better. I think players want bats that are lighter and maybe thinner. There’s probably too many variables for me to have an opinion.” Cubs infielder Jeff Baker said he uses ash bats. “I saw an umpire get slashed on the neck in Kansas City and it’s just not worth it to me,” he said. “I don’t want that on my conscience if something happens and someone gets hurt. I just use ash and go from there.” Castillo said he has used maple bats his entire career. “It wasn’t my fault,” he said. “I didn’t want to hit him on purpose. That’s just baseball. It happens.” In his statement, Colvin said he was doing OK and expressed thanks to the Cubs’ and Marlins’ training and medical staffs for taking care of him. Speaking at Yankee Stadium, Selig said baseball’s record on broken bats had improved.

Wolfpack in hunt for ACC supremacy BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

RALEIGH — There might be a surprise contender in the ACC: N.C. State. After breezing through three nonconference games, the Wolfpack (3-0) has joined Boston College as the only unbeaten teams in the wideopen league. But now it’s time to find out just how serious its candidacy is. N.C. State opens ACC play this week at defending league champion Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-0). “Certainly, there’s a lot more confidence in this football team being 3-0,” coach Tom O’Brien said Monday. “But when you look at the challenge staring us in the face, we’re not going to wear our arms out patting ourselves on the back.” With a quarterback who finally appears to have found his groove after spending the summer playing pro baseball and a defense that has stabilized after what seems like perpetually shaky play, this might shape up as the best N.C. State team that O’Brien has had since he arrived in 2007. For a change, the Wolfpack is off to a hot start. It has won its first three games for the first time since 2002, when eventual NFL first-round draft pick Philip Rivers was under center. Now comes the next challenge: Winning an ACC opener. At no point during O’Brien’s first three seasons in Raleigh has N.C. State been above .500 in league play. It’s started 0-3 in the conference — or worse — every

N.c. state freshman Mustafa Greene scores on a 31-yard touchdown run against cincinnati last week. year under him. The players say they don’t sense any overt extra pressure with the ACC season starting but admit it might be there underneath the surface. “It doesn’t really matter to us if it’s

a conference game or a regular game,” linebacker Audie Cole said. “Either way, you prepare the same. But we all kind of have it in the back of our mind. We all know that we went 2-6 in the ACC last year ... and that’s

something we’re not trying to repeat.” There’s no doubt the Wolfpack has faced more resistance this year than early in 2009, when a 3-1 start included wins over two FCS teams. But the competition still probably

doesn’t compare to what N.C. State will face in the coming weeks. After Georgia Tech comes a visit from a Virginia Tech team that finally may have found its footing after starting 0-2. Down the road it will take on Atlantic Division favorite Florida State and Clemson. This year’s start included a rout of outmanned Western Carolina, a win at Central Florida in which N.C. State held off a late rally by the Knights and, just five days later, a thorough domination of a Cincinnati team that’s transitioning to a new staff after the old regime led the Bearcats to consecutive berths in the BCS. Quarterback Russell Wilson was one of the ACC’s players of the week after he threw for 333 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over Cincinnati. Still, O’Brien says it’s too early to worry about what will happen once ACC play gets rolling. “I think the most important thing we can do is focus on Georgia Tech, and that’s the only thing we have control over right now,” O’Brien said. “That’s been how I’ve approached things ever since I’ve been a head football coach. I don’t worry about what’s happened in the past, other than to learn from it, make sure that we don’t keep making the same mistakes and that we take the positives and build on that. “But you can’t be worried about what your record’s going to be after the third game of the year. You have to focus on the team you’re playing at hand, and then it’ll all shake out one way or another. It doesn’t matter if we’re 0-3 or 3-0. We still have to play Georgia Tech this week.”

PHILADELPHIA — Coach Andy Reid said Kevin Kolb will be the starting quarterback at Jacksonville on Sunday despite a pair of impressive performances by fill-in Michael Vick. Kolb has been cleared to practice, so Reid says he’ll start unless something happens during the week. COWBOYS IRVING, Texas — Tight end Jason Witten says he is feeling fine and has no headaches a day after hitting his head on the turf and being held out of the rest of the game by team doctors. Witten expects to play at Houston next weekend. PACKERS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Ccoach Mike McCarthy says veteran Chad Clifton is still the starting left tackle, although his availability for next Monday night’s game in Chicago is in doubt. Clifton was benched in favor of first-round rookie Bryan Bulaga during Sunday’s victory over the Buffalo Bills. McCarthy said Monday he made the move because Clifton “didn’t look healthy.” RAVENS OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Authorities say Baltimore Ravens assistant offensive line coach Andy Moeller is facing drunken driving charges. Maryland State Police say the coach was arrested after being pulled over for speeding on the Maryland beltway early Saturday. STEELERS PITTSBURGH — The Steelers aren’t saying yet how long quarterback Dennis Dixon will be out with a left knee injury, a problem that typically sidelines a player for multiple games. Byron Leftwich could start against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but he hasn’t played since spraining his left knee during a Sept. 2 exhibition game. JAGUARS JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost backup quarterback Luke McCown for the season because of a knee injury. McCown tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee at San Diego on Sunday. CHIEFS BEREA, Ohio — Browns center Alex Mack has accused Kansas City defensive lineman Shaun Smith of grabbing his private parts during Sunday’s game. Mack says Smith, who played two seasons for the Browns before he was released last year, committed the dirty play in the second quarter. Mack says he doesn’t think Smith should be able to and he’s still fired up about it.

UNC not focusing on near-misses Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina heads to Rutgers this week as the only winless team in the ACC. The Tar Heels are trying not to dwell on the fact that they could have possibly been unbeaten if not for an NCAA investigation that has depleted their roster. “That’s kind of over now,” quarterback T.J. Yates said Monday. “We kind of got past it. We’ve got two games under our belt, and we kind of know who we’re playing with now. Whatever happens afterward, we can deal with it then. But nobody on this team is making excuses.” The Tar Heels (0-2) lost their ACC opener to Georgia Tech 30-24 as 12 players, including six starters on defense, sat out because of the investigation. The NCAA is reviewing agentrelated benefits as well as possible academic misconduct involving a tutor. The status of those players — including NFL prospects Marvin Austin, Robert Quinn, Kendric Burney and

Deunta Williams on defense as well as top receiver Greg Little and tailback Ryan Houston — has become an every-week topic just like injuries and depth chart changes. “There’s no update, so there’s nothing new to add,” coach Butch Davis said. “We’re preparing every single week to play with the same guys we had the previous week.” The Tar Heels have reason to feel frustrated. In the opener against LSU, they lost 30-24 despite being down 13 players. And in both games, Yates and the offense had the ball in the final minutes with a chance to drive for a winning score. Of the 13 who missed the opener, only tailback Shaun Draughn has been cleared to return. He played sparingly behind Johnny White against the Yellow Jackets. The remaining players are trying to maintain a positive outlook during a slow start to a season from which they expected so much. Davis said he hasn’t seen discouraged players despite the disappointing results.

“I thought our players were very receptive,” he said. “Some of these young kids who are getting their first opportunity to play are eager to look at the film and see the mistakes they made, things that they did well and how they can get better.” It’s a different challenge for North Carolina’s experienced players, who don’t have the excitement of newfound playing time to keep them energized. Yates and his fellow seniors prepared all offseason believing they had the pieces in place to make a run at the ACC championship in their final year on campus. Now, with many of those pieces missing, the Tar Heels are left to fight off the what-if questions. They’re focusing on making do with what they’ve got rather than thinking about the plays they could have made with what they had before NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in July. “We know we can still make it a year for us,” Yates said. “We’re just trying to do everything in our power to go out and make the best of it.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Running back Dominique Wallace has quit the Virginia football team but plans to remain enrolled at the school. Coach Mike London says the redshirt freshman tailback has decided that he no longer wants to pursue football as a career. Wallace carried twice for 5 yards in the Cavaliers’ first two games, and played on special teams. He played in three games last season before being sidelined by a foot injury. Wallace, a native of Fredericksburg, says he doesn’t plan to transfer but intends to earn his undergraduate degree at Virginia. FURMAN GREENVILLE, S.C. — Furman quarterback Chris Foricer will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken bone in his shoulder during last weekend’s loss to South Carolina. The Paladins said doctors haven’t decided whether the junior will need surgery. UTAH SALT LAKE CITY — Utah coach Kyle Whittingham says injured quarterback Jordan Wynn should begin throwing in practice again this week. The way backup Terrance Cain has played for the 13th-ranked Utes, Whittingham will take his time as Wynn’s sprained right thumb continues to heal. Wynn injured the thumb on his throwing hand early in the season opener against Pittsburgh and has missed the last two games. FLORIDA STATE TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder has a sore throwing arm and will take it easy at practice this week. Ponder wore a sleeve Monday to protect a bruised right tricep muscle he suffered in the Seminoles Sept. 11 loss at Oklahoma. The injury stiffened up on him during Saturday’s 34-10 win over BYU. “We’ll just cut his throws down and he’ll be fine,” coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It’s a little tight,” conceded Ponder, who is getting daily treatment in the trainer’s room as well. “I’ll try and do as much as I can” in practice. Ponder emphasized that he’s fully recovered from a season-ending shoulder injury suffered against Clemson last November and the ensuing operation performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

Davis undergoes surgery on knee TORONTO — Raptors rookie forward Ed Davis is recovering after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. The team said Monday in a statement that Davis is expected to sidelined up to six weeks. He hurt his knee in a pickup game last Wednesday. Toronto selected the 6-foot-10 Davis with the 13th overall pick in this year’s draft after he played two seasons at North Carolina. The Raptors open training camp Sept. 28.  SAN DIEGO — Ron Artest of the Los Angeles Lakers says he’s motivated to win another NBA championship because he’s going to auction his ring from last season’s title to raise money for mental health counseling in schools.

“Everybody is giving us their A game,” Bush said. “Everybody is giving us their best shot. We’re just finding ways to win. That’s all we can do is find ways to win. We can’t be down about a win like this. This is a great win against a physical team, a tough team. They came out and gave us their best shot. We still found a way to win. That’s what champions do, find ways to win no matter what.” Brees hit David Thomas for a 3-yard score that put New Orleans ahead late in the third quarter and Tracy Porter’s interception at the 10-yard line preserved the lead until Gore’s late run. “They played really well,” Brees said. “You’ve got take your hat off to them, they played hard.” San Francisco outgained the

SOCCER LONDON — David Beckham will guide players and coaches in Trinidad this weekend to help boost support for England’s World Cup bid. The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder’s trip coincides with the final of the Under-17 women’s World Cup in Port-of-Spain, which will be attended by FIFA President Sepp Blatter and Vice President Jack Warner.

Then his win jettisoned him up to second in the standings, just 35 points back of Denny Hamlin. He had a similar fate in 2007, when he grabbed his first career win in the Chase opener and rode the momentum to a career-best thirdplace finish in the standings. Now, in a season of resurgence for an RCR team that struggled to keep pace with NASCAR’s heavyweights last year, Bowyer could make a similar run.

“I really feel like, why not us?” Bowyer crew chief Shane Wilson said. “Jimmie Johnson is good, but he’s won four in a row. The last four or five weeks, we’ve been right there with him. He’s not that much better than us. We can do it, and why not us?” Several teams had the same thoughts as they left New Hampshire stacked in a wide-open field for the championship. Johnson had an uncharacteristically bad day, surviving a spin only to fall victim to a loose wheel. He had to pit under green, couldn’t catch a caution and finished 25th, low-

Saints in yards 417-287 but beat itself with turnovers. Roman Harper intercepted a pass by Alex Smith at the 26 in the first quarter. Malcolm Jenkins recovered Delanie Walker’s fumble at the 3 just before halftime as the Niners failed to capitalize on opportunities. “We came in with the mindset that we were going to win the turnover battle, and we did that decisively,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. On a festive evening at Candlestick Park in which the 49ers retired Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s No. 80 jersey at halftime, the Niners looked little like the championship teams Rice starred on in the 1980s and 90s. Gore provided the highlight, running for 112 yards and catching a 12-yard touchdown pass from Smith. New Orleans’ defense shined for the second straight game in the national spotlight, the Saints’ first game since kicking off the NFL season in prime time on Sept. 9.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed general manager Ray Shero to a five-year contract extension that runs through the 2015-16 season.  COLUMBUS, Ohio — Steve Mason has signed a two-year extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets, keeping the goalie under contract for the next three years. The Calder Trophy winner as the NHL’s rookie of the year two seasons ago, Mason slumped last season as the Blue Jackets failed to return to the playoffs.

est among the Chase drivers. Although he dropped to seventh in the standings, all may not be lost for the champion: Since the Chase began in 2004, the champion has finished sixth or better at New Hampshire every year but once, in 2006, when Johnson finished 39th but rallied to win the first of his four titles. He heads to Dover this weekend thinking about another rally, but Tony Stewart may not have the same confidence. Stewart took the lead from Bowyer late in Sunday’s race, but as both drivers tried to stretch their final tank of gas a daunting 92 laps, Stewart

failed to conserve enough fuel to make it to the finish. Instead of winning, he finished 24th and dropped to 11th in the standings. Now he’s got to hope everyone in front of him has at least one slip over the remaining nine races, and after watching some of the comebacks Sunday, it may not happen for Stewart. Take Hamlin, for example. He was running fourth when he was spun by Carl Edwards and fell to 22nd after a quick pit stop for repairs. Livid over the radio, he calmed down enough to slowly work his way back through the field.

Had the race gone just one more lap, he likely would have beat Bowyer. Instead, he settled for second and maintained his lead in the standings. Then there was Kevin Harvick, the points leader most of the regular season and Bowyer’s teammate at RCR. A poor first pit stop put him in the hole, and it didn’t seem to get much better over the next several trips down pit road. Yet he somehow stole a fifth-place finish, and that ability to salvage a bad day has got to have everyone worried. Same goes for Kyle Busch, who nearly melted down over the radio before he was

BOWYER

Moore threw three endzone interceptions and lost a fumble before leaving with a concussion in a Week 1 loss. After being cleared to return Sunday, Moore threw an interception and lost another fumble before getting yanked early in the fourth quarter of the 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay. Moore has led Carolina on only two touchdown drives, completed just 41 percent of his passes and has a rating of 41.8. It comes after the Panthers became the first team in at least 14 years to not score an offensive TD in the preseason. It’s nothing like the end of last season, when he threw eight touchdown passes and one interception. The undrafted, fourth-year QB from Oregon State entered this year 6-2 as a starter. When asked what’s gone wrong, Moore shook his head and replied, “I wish I knew.” He rejected the argument his demotion was inevitable when Clausen fell to the Panthers in the draft. “I don’t think my thoughts were headed in that direction at all,” Moore said. “I was confident, I still am. I know I can play. Unfortunately, the last two showings haven’t been great. This is the option we have and they went with it.” Fox, who stubbornly stuck with Delhomme last season until he was sidelined with a broken finger, had a quick trigger this time. Moore completed just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards and a

touchdown against the Buccaneers. It included overthrowing rookie David Gettis for what would’ve been a touchdown. Tight end Dante Rosario couldn’t hang on to a slightly overthrown ball that likely also would’ve gone for a score. “There were some plays out there that we left, no doubt,” Fox said. “We’ve got to be able to make those in game situations. Talking to the team today, we’ve got to spark our offense, in particular the passing game. So we’re going to start Jimmy Clausen this week. ... We’ll let Matt sit back and watch.” Clausen is 7 of 15 for 59 yards and one interception in two brief stints this season. Clausen said he was “surprised” when Fox told him Monday morning he was taking over. “It’s exciting,” Clausen said, “but at the same time it’s time to get to work now.” Clausen was greeted with cheers when he replaced Moore early in the fourth quarter Sunday. He quickly matched Moore in completed passes on his first drive, but it ended with running back Jonathan Stewart being stopped short on fourth-andgoal from the 1. Clausen was intercepted by Aqib Talib later on a deflected pass. Clausen, groomed for this since he was setting high school records, is now charged with jump-starting a stagnant offense on a winless team with no experienced receiver after Steve Smith. “Somehow or another we have to gain some confidence in the passing game,” Fox said. “We’ll see if this works.”

That Preys” (2008)

Meds or alternatives for hand tremors? Dear Dr. Gott: Can you tell me if there is a safe and effective home remedy for hand tremors? My father is 69 years old and has stopped going to his doctor for his monthly B12 shots, which were given to reduce his hand tremors. I advised him to try drinking DR. PETER 6 to 8 ounces GOTT of warm sage tea up to three times a day, but can you recommend something else that will work for him? Dear Reader: While there is a genetic tendency, no one knows why tremors exist; however, they represent an abnormal communication between specific areas of the brain. Causes can include Parkinson’s disease; stroke; low blood-sugar levels; thyroid abnormalities; some medications, such as those for cardiac issues; tricyclic antidepressants; decongestants; and breathing issues. Drinks that contain caffeine are also known to cause tremor, as is stress, anxiety and fatigue. Essential and familiar tremors

can be suppressed by consuming alcoholic beverages, but this is not a desirable remedy. Symptoms of essential tremor begin gradually, can be aggravated by emotional stress and temperature extremes, and differ from Parkinson’s because they happen when a person’s hands, head and voice are being used. Parkinson’s tremor, in contrast, tends to occur when the hands are at rest, without involvement of the head or voice. If treatment is required — and it isn’t in all cases — tranquilizers, antiseizure medications, beta blockers ordinarily prescribed for hypertension and Botox injections might be prescribed. Alternative treatment includes massage, hypnosis, acupuncture and relaxation techniques, such as tai chi or yoga. One consideration is 100 milligrams of grape-seed extract and 50 micrograms of vitamin B50. B12 fights anemia and nerve damage, and is said to reverse the symptoms of Bell’s palsy. If it helped your father’s tremor, he might consider the monthly injection once again. In any event, I would suggest that you speak with his physician to deter-

mine whether his tremor is benign or has an underlying cause. In that way, you will know whether to lean toward something as complex as Parkinson’s or whether he might consider alternative remedies. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Parkinson’s Disease” and “Compelling Home Remedies.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report payable to Newsletter. Mail it to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I have a friend who takes medicine that causes him to be constipated. One of my co-workers said she saw an article in one of your columns for a cocktail for this problem, but she could not remember the ingredients. Her husband used it at one point and had good results. It’s odd that I write because I have an ileostomy and have exactly the opposite problem. I take tincture of opium, which slows my bowels down and

lessens the amount of fluids I lose. Our bodies are amazing, and it’s good to educate ourselves about them with as much knowledge as we can. My friend doesn’t have a computer, so if you send the information on, he can either read it in our local paper or I will forward it to him. Thank you. Dear Reader: My colon cocktail consists of equal portions of unprocessed bran, applesauce and prune juice. Mix the three ingredients together, and place them in your refrigerator for at least an hour to blend. Then take 1 to 2 tablespoons daily, more if necessary, for relief. The remedy may take up to two weeks to be fully effective, but the ingredients are safe and natural. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Jerry Garcia’s Marin County, Calif. home for sale for $4 million Would-be home buyers now have a chance to taste the high life, Grateful Dead-style: Jerry Garcia’s house is for sale. The 11-acre estate in rural Marin County, north of San Francisco, was the bandleader’s last home before he died of a heart attack in 1995 at age 53.

The sellers are asking just shy of $4 million for the 7,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style home and surrounding grounds. The real estate listing describes amenities such as a 1,500-square-foot artist’s studio, a solar-heated pool and an organic garden.

The estate has 300-degree views that span the Berkeley skyline to the Pacific Ocean. In recent years, a man who bought the house and renovated it shortly after Garcia’s death sold many of the fixtures — including the guitarist’s toilet — to raise money for charity.

A peek is worth many tricks BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

At the bridge table, if you could peek at all 52 cards, you would make far fewer errors — but given the same chance, so would your opponents. In this layout, many players would fail in four hearts. Will you? West leads his club ace and unsportingly continues with the club king. In the United States, over a takeout double, if responder bids a new suit at the two-level, it is natural and nonforcing. So North had to start with redouble, showing at least 10 high-card points. East’s two-club advance promised no points; he was just saying that he had a preference for clubs over the other two unbid suits. On the second round, North again wanted to show his diamonds, but settled for the logical game. (Note that East and West badly misjudged because they can make six clubs. But unfavorable vulnerability makes cowards of us all.) If hearts are 2-2 or 3-1, you can ruff the second club in the dummy, lead a diamond to your ace, return to dummy with a trump, and play diamonds from the top, discarding spades unless East ruffs. Here, though, that line fails. After East trumps the second diamond, you cannot draw trumps ending in the dummy, as you could if

they were 2-2 or 3-1. The only way to make the contract is to discard from the dummy at trick two. Suppose West shifts to a diamond. Win with your ace, cash your heart king to get the bad news, play a trump to dummy, and lead top diamonds. East ruffs, but you overruff, play a trump to dummy (removing East’s last heart), and run the diamonds.

ohio state mascot Brutus, left, gets grabbed from behind by the ohio University mascot on saturday.

South Rowan graduate involved with apology BY JOANNE VIVIANO Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Turns out, the Bobcat had it in for the Buckeye all along. “It was actually my whole plan to tackle Brutus when I tried out to be mascot,” said Brandon Hanning, formerly known as Ohio University’s Rufus Bobcat. “I tried out about a year ago, and the whole reason I tried out was so I could come up here to Ohio State and tackle Brutus.” And that’s what he did Saturday, wrestling unsuspecting Brutus to the ground before 105,075 screaming college football fans at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State got even in the end, trampling the visiting team, 43-7. Bobcats athletics spokesman Jason Corriher, a South Rowan High School graduate, released a statement calling the actions “extremely poor judgment and sportsmanship” and saying that the university regrets the negative effect they may have on the relationship between the two schools. The 19-year-old Hanning is banned from further affiliation with the school’s athletics department. Actually, he’s not even a student there anymore; he now attends nearby Hocking College. Hanning, of Meigs County

in southeast Ohio, not far from Ohio University’s campus in Athens, suited up about 15 minutes before the Bobcats faced Ohio State, went on the field near the OU cheerleaders and waited for his chance. It came as Brutus and an Ohio State cheerleader hoisted an OSU flag and prepared to lead the Buckeyes players onto the field. With his Bobcat head in place, Hanning ran along the sideline and got in position. “As soon as they started running onto the field, that’s when I went,” he said. The Bobcat sideswiped the Buckeye, who got back to his feet and continued his sprint toward the end zone. But Rufus, um, Hanning, wasn’t done. He then chased Brutus into the end zone, climbed on his back and rode him to the ground. The two then tussled, with Rufus punching the Buckeye while fans booed. Bobcats coach Frank Solich summed up it nicely: “Obviously we needed to tackle the guy with the ball, not the mascot.” Hanning said he thinks the reaction to the tackle has been “a little blown out of proportion.” “Either everybody loved it or everybody hated it,” he said. “It’s never been anything in the middle. I think I planned it pretty well ... and I definitely would have done it again.”
