Teens charged with 92 counts of vandalism Two teens have been arrested and charged with 92 counts of vandalism. Salisbury Police say they are responsible for spray-painting properties throughout Salisbury and Rowan County with the initials “CSW” and “SEDO.” Noe Garcia, 17, of Salisbury, was charged with 46 counts of injury to real and personal property. He was placed in the Rowan County jail under a $20,000 secured bond. Ryan Garcia, 16, of Mooresville, was charged with

46 counts of injury to real and personal property. He was jailed under a $17,500 secured bond. The initials “CSW” stand for
“Can’t Stop Writing,” and “SEDO” is a nickname for Noe Garcia. According to police, the vandals struck in April and continued until the two were caught in the act Sept. 10 by a Salisbury resident who saw them spray-painting property on South Main Street. The resident called 911 and Sgt. J. Lanier, who was in an undercover vehicle, arrived and took them into custody. “This is an example of why it is always good for folks to
call the police anytime they see suspicious activity,” Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said in a press release. Collins said if the caller wishes to remain anonymous, he or she can. “The police department is very grateful to the individual who placed the call on that night, and I am sure that our citizens and business owners are as well, especially those who have been victimized by these two individuals,” Collins said.

Kannapolis parade is back on Cabarrus Events Association to handle organizing event BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Santa Claus is coming back to town on a one-float open sleigh. Late Thursday evening, the Cabarrus Events Association announced that it will organize a Christmas parade in Kannapolis this season. The Parade of Lights will be held Saturday, Dec. 11 downtown, starting at 6 p.m. “We just don’t want to lose the tradition of having a Kannapolis Christmas parade,” said Brenda Drye of the Cabarrus Events Association, which put on the parade through 2008. Public outcry began after the Kannapolis City Council voted Sept. 13 to replace the parade with a Christmas festival in Village Park. Last year’s city-organized parade was criticized for taking place on a Saturday afternoon, which merchants said hurt their sales. City Manager Mike Legg said that citizens had made their voices heard in recent days. He said the city will fully support the pa-

Youngsters find lambs, dogs can put on ‘awesome’ shows BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
homas Lewis, grinning, placed one arm around a show lamb and used the other one to hold up his trophy. He was one of several students in the exceptional students program at Southeast Middle School who showed lambs at the Rowan County Agricultural and Industrial Fair. Lewis said the experience was “awesome.” “I learned how to hold her,” Lewis said. He then proudly demonstrated how to brace a lamb by wrapping his arms securely around the back of her head to keep her still

Agriculture students from Carson, South Rowan and West Rowan high schools spent about an hour teaching the children with disabilities about lamb care and showing.

N.C. Research Campus founder’s wealth estimated at $2.7 billion BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
The grant will be used locally over the next three years to improve coordination of care for patients with diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and asthma by engaging them and providers in data sharing through a health record bank. The local program also aims to help patients and family members participate in self-management through patient portals and expand access to care managers
KANNAPOLIS — David Murdock’s net worth has plummeted $1 billion. Murdock, 87, founder of the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis and chairman of Dole Food Co., ranks no. 130 on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans list. Forbes calculated Murdock’s net worth at $2.7 billion last month, down from $3.7 billion a year ago. His fortune peaked at $4.7 billion in 2007, according to Forbes, and has declined since then. When Murdock dedicated Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s new biotechnology training facility in Kannapolis last week, he said he underestimated the depths of the recession. He thought he had enough money to build everything he MURDOCK envisioned for the Research Campus but “learned quickly I did not,” he said. Murdock, who often speaks about the power of creative thought, said even “my imagination didn’t help me” as the country’s economy sank into disarray. Murdock has said he envisioned dozens of buildings, including residential and retail, on

for economic growth. Federal officials say Beacon projects are expected to initially create dozens of new jobs in each of the communities paying an average of $70,000 per year for a total of more 1,100 jobs upfront. Meanwhile, their work will accelerate development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that federal officials predict will eventually employ tens of thousands of Americans.

Police seek registered sex offender The Salisbury Police Department is looking for a registered sex offender with outstanding warrants for charges of a first-degree statutory sexual offense and indecent liberties with a child. Robert Junior Gray, 56, with the last known GRAY address of 407 Park Ave., Apartment 2, is 5 feet 9 inches tall, 228 pounds and bald.
Gray’s charges stem from an investigation involving two young children who recently stayed at his residence for several nights. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said as the investigation continues, more charges are likely. Gray is also wanted by the N.C. Department of Community Corrections Probation/Parole for a post release violation. Anyone with information on Gray’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-6385333, or Crime Stoppers, 1-888-639-5245.

structor, losing much of his hearing. After he was discharged, he went to Detroit with six cents in his pocket and slept in a park for five nights, according to the account he often gives. He borrowed $900 to buy his first business, a 14-seat diner, and sold it a year later for a $1,200 profit. He moved to Phoenix and stumbled into housing development. He was worth more than $100 million by age 33. A California real estate magnate in 1982, Murdock bought Cannon Mills in Kannapolis for $414 million. He acquired Dole Food in 1985 when he bought the failing Hawaiian real estate company Castle & Cooke, including the Hawaiian island of Lana’i, which he still owns. He sold the mill in 1986 but kept the real estate and still owns most of downtown Kannapolis. The mill closed in 2003, and he bought back the shuttered manufacturing plant in 2004. He announced plans for the N.C. Research Campus the following year. In 1982, Murdock built Pity’s Sake Lodge near Kannapolis in Rowan County, where he lives about one week a month.

He spoke optimistically last week about his finances, saying his personal business has started to pick up and the economy is in better shape than people realize. Other campus buildings are “well under way to being started,” Murdock said, and he is aware of many needs of the campus. He said he hopes to add another piece of worldclass scientific equipment, a cyclotron. Murdock grew up poor in Wayne, Ohio. He has said he was “always hungry” as a child and stuffed cardboard in the holes of his hand-me-down shoes. Severely dyslexic, he dropped out of school after failing ninth grade. He worked in a chicken hatchery, hoed corn in the fields and greased cars at a gas station. He says his mother taught him to read.

HEALTH FROM 1a for better results after patients are discharged. “It’s successful if we learn to work together as a team,” Aaron McKethan, Beacon Program director at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT in Washington, said at the Thurs- MCKETHAN day event, billed as a “health care IT summit.” This is a cooperative agreement, so the 17 pilot sites can share information and see “what works,” McKethan said. He said federal officials want Beacon communities to lead the way to national implementation of electronic medical records. The vision is that “meaningful use” of health information technology will lead to improved health outcomes. A panel of program directors and health care professionals answered questions Thursday about the initiative, which supports communities that already have high rates of health information adoption. Some health care providers in this area use electronic medical records. The goal is to get all to use and exchange information. Cindy Oakes, director of Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan, said each practice can choose its own system. Consultation will be provided about options and incentives for those who can’t completely fund their own system. Panelist Dr. Samuel Cykert is clinical director for the N.C. Regional Extension Center, which will facilitate the adoption and use of the
electronic health records among 100,000 primary care providers. He spoke about the advantages of data sharing, saying it eliminates the need for repeat procedures and saves everyone money. Responding to con- CYKERT cerns about how to protect a patient’s privacy, he said there will be a layered password management system to minimize information getting out. Patients will also be able to exclude sensitive information from their records. The grant mentions work with health departments and private physicians, but panelists said it will also include some work with skilled nursing facilities, adult home health care facilities, community care clinics and the VA hospital. Other agencies can benefit, but those were not discussed during the summit. Carol Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, asked during the summit what role community colleges and other higher learning institutions will play in educating the people for whom the Beacon initiative will create jobs as technicians. McKethan said there will be a demand created for specific skills and thus new jobs. Dr. Carlton Moore, who is an associate professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and also served as a panelist, added that there will be a need for people who MOORE crossare trained in health information technology. Spalding later said following the meeting she’s very excited about the program. “We look for ways to train,
retrain and upgrade people within the health care field,” she said. Dr. Erron Towns, who was not on the panel but is the medical director for the Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan, said this is all still in the early stages, but an objective is to improve the interaction between patients and physicians. That might happen through e-visits (electronic visits), which can be similar to a Skype call with video over the Internet. Towns is a doctor with Salisbury Pediatric Associates. R o w a n C o u n t y Health Director Leonard Wood served on the panel WOOD and spoke about the health department’s role. He said it too would benefit from information sharing.
Since the health department provides vaccinations and other services, sharing information would be helpful, for instance, if a person moved to a new county. Jerold Greer, information technology director for Daymark Recovery Services, called the summit very helpful. “We are seeing a community collaboration and that’s unprecedented. I believe this initiative will improve community health and save lives,” Greer said. He said the initiative will have a significant impact on the way care is delivered. Physicians and other health care professionals who want to obtain program information can contact Patricia Walton, manager of clinical care management, at 704-636-9272.

Drye said the parade will follow the standard route from recent years, heading north on Main Street from Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, making a left onto First Street, then a final left onto West Avenue. As in previous nighttime parades, she said all entries would have to be illuminated. Indeed, lights of all kinds will play a major role. One of the city’s reasons for shelving the night parade was safety. Both Legg and Drye said they would do everything possible to keep spectators safe. Drye said that additional lights were planned for the southern Main Street portion of the route where there are fewer streetlights. The parade will be “as safe as we can possibly make it,” Legg said. Downtown merchants were among the first to hear, and share, the news. “I’m elated,” said Mary Ann Daley of Transit Damage Freight in downtown Kannapolis. After the parade was called off, she was one of several merchants who heard criticism from locals who thought the businesses were responsible for having it canceled. Now, Daley said her business will be a sponsor. Ron Reynolds, owner of the

The girls learned from Brown and Myers how to groom and show the dogs, and then they led the animals around the ring for the first time Thursday. “We had to learn to listen,” Karla said, earning a laugh from Myers. “And we had to learn how to make (the dogs) stop for the judge.” For others, it’s not the dog show but the fair itself that
brings family together. “I come here for the family tradition,” said 11-yearold Sarah Farmer. She attends every year with her brother Ben, 5, and her parents, Tom and Ashley Jo Farmer of Salisbury. Sarah said she enjoys the rides, while Ben mainly likes to play the games. Their parents said they just like to see them have fun. “I grew up here, so I’ve
lost track of how many times we’ve come,” Tom said. Today’s events include a dairy cow dress-up contest at 6:15 p.m. and the demolition derby at 8 p.m. Vendors will continue to sell such things as savory chicken and dumplings, fresh squeezed lemonade and various fried candies that ooze out of their batter shells.

Southern Charm gift shop, said all of the merchants he’d spoken to were very excited. “We are in support of this parade, 100 percent,” Reynolds said. Meanwhile, the city’s new festival, called A Kannapolis Christmas, is going ahead on Saturday, Dec. 4 at the park. The event had been originally called “Winterfest.” Legg said residents’ comments had played a big role in the choice of an official name. “A significant number of citizens seemed to be concerned with the loss of the name of Christmas, and wanted the festival to include that focus,” Legg said. The Kannapolis Parks and Recreation Department is seeking vendors, choirs, bands, dance groups and others to participate in the event. Cash prizes will be given
for several contests, one of which is slated to be a “stationary float contest,” according to a city press release. Legg said participation would determine how that contest plays out now that the parade is back on. Drye said that parade float judging would go forward, with the reviewing stand back in its usual place across from the former downtown Visitors Center. In addition to contests and entertainment, the festival will include a giant Christmas card competition from local schools, food, rides, the Kannapolis Singing Bears, games and a S’mores pit. At dark, the annual Christmas Tree lighting will take place marking the start of the month-long Celebration of Lights and Winterland Express Train.
The deadline for contest, vendor and entertainment applications for A Kannapolis Christmas is Nov. 15. More information is available online at www. kannapolischristmas.com or by calling the Parks and Recreation office at 704-9204343. Drye said more announcements on the parade will be forthcoming in the days ahead. The group is still seeking sponsors. She said the parade has been going on since at least 1936. “We wanted to make sure we could bring this back to the citizens of Kannapolis,” she said.

She said she was impressed by how it went and hoped to do it again next year. “There was a big difference in the kids from beginning to end,” she said. “They opened up and really attached to the lambs.” Another animal show for youth took place later that day. About 15 children and teenagers took part in the 4-H Junior Dog Show on Thursday evening. For some, it was a family tradition. Karla Hevenor, 9, and sister Diana Hudson, 6, waited eagerly to show two Pembroke Welsh Corgis named Misty and Dapple.

Apartment building’s art show displays Andy Resner’s talent B Y E MMA P OST intern2@salisburypost.com
Fleming Heights Apartments on Lash Drive will host its second annual art show today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Memories on Canvas,” will showcase artwork by tenant Andy Resner. Resner, who has lived at Fleming Heights a little over two years, selected his apartment because of the lighting it provided for his artwork. Resner worked for years as a hospital administrator in New Jersey until he moved in 2002. He didn’t sell a painting until he retired, although he started painting when he was just 16 years old. “It was something to do,” he says. Resner keeps his first oil painting, which is dated Jan. 20, 1956, in his apartment. Resner now paints from photographs and sometimes from memory. His paintings showcase a few familiar sites around Salisbury, as well as many scenes from nature. “My favorite thing to paint
is clouds” Resner says. “We can’t copy nature; all we can do is try to capture the warmth and beauty that we see.” Resner currently has paintings hanging in Port City Java. Some of the paintings showcased in “Memories on Canvas” will be for sale, but Resner says he rarely paints with a customer in mind. Most of his paintings have been done for friends or relatives. “I give them to people” he says. Although the techniques and beauty in Resner’s paintings seem to be formally taught, the only art class Resner ever took was in grade school in Philadelphia. “It’s a hobby that progresses” he says. Of his self-taught talents, Resner says, “It’s a blessing.” “Memories on Canvas” will be open to anyone who wants to view Resner’s artwork. The show will take place in the community room at Fleming Heights apartments, 430 Lash Drive off U.S. 70 just west of the Salisbury Mall.
Thirty years have seen a lot of changes in downtown Salisbury, many of them traceable to the efforts of the organization that shares that name. Downtown Salisbury, Inc.’s annual meeting at the Norvell Theater on Thursday was a chance for local businesspeople and leaders to take stock of those changes. “You’ve got to be happy,” said Randy Hemann, executive director of DSI. The evening began with refreshments from local restaurants and retailers. After a brief presentation, a historical slide show traced the major projects of three decades. Pictures of stark aluminum-clad storefronts contrasted with photos of newly-renovated buildings on Main Street. Giving the presentation in place of Paul Fisher, who was home recovering from a back injury, DSI Board President Paula Bohland said Salisbury was lucky to have a vibrant downtown arts district and new businesses, even in a recession. “It was a great year last year, in spite of what’s going on in the economy,” Bohland said. Edward Norvell was honored as the group’s Volunteer of the Year. Fisher was named Director of the Year. And Al Hoffman, owner of Hardiman & Son Furniture, was especially honored for his 62 years in business downtown. Hoffman is closing his business after having sold the building to Dr. Charles Steinman. Salisbury city planning director Joe Morris, who is a member of the DSI board of directors, said that downtown’s strength and resilience are amazing. “It’s a testament to the hard work of a lot of people.” In the 2009-10 fiscal year, public and private groups invested $8.9 million in downtown, according to DSI’s annual report. Although new jobs and new business openings were flat, a number of new merchants were honored along with volunteers and local leaders. Of particular note was the group’s 2001 master

In fact, Mary was a bit peeved that day because the balloon was tied to the ground. She wanted to explore — ride with the wind.

A Salisbury man was arrested after Rowan County Sheriff’s detectives and SBI agents searched his home, finding a moonshine still in the shower. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Jeremy Shane Cornelius, 38, of 330 Cromer Road, was manufacturing moonshine, selling the liquor by the quart. Authorities found the 10-gallon still in Cornelius’ shower, along with sugar, yeast, quart Mason jars and other things used for the production of white liquor. Officers also found marijuana drug paraphernalia, and seven quarts of the non-tax paid white liquor. Lt. Chad Moose with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said investigators received a tip about the moonshine and investigated for about a week before receiving a search warrant and making the arrest. Moose said the last moonshine bust was in November of last year. Cornelius was issued citations for manufacturing a non-tax paid white liquor, possession of nontax paid white liquor and possession of drug paraphernalia.

were now fewer options. The hand cycle seemed perfect. Catlin decided to see if she could get it for her friend. Savanah was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when just seven months old. Surgery was required to remove the tumor, and it meant removing one of her ribs. Savanah has HINSON stayed cancer free, but problems related to that cancer have caused other health issues. Additionally, she developed scoliosis as her spine grew with curvature. A forward bend also developed, and was labeled Kyphosis. Doctors watched her further development, and decided that surgery was the only option. On Sept. 24, 2007, Savanah went to Carolinas Medical Center for surgery that would help straighten her back and provide some pain relief. Her
family knew that there was a small chance that she could end up paralyzed. Over the four-hour surgery, Savanah’s lifechanged forever. Her paralysis is from T3 down. That is when Catlin stepped in and organized a series of bicycle rides to honor and raise funds for her friend Savanah. Those rides are scheduled for Saturday, just three short years after Savanah’s paralysis. Catlin wants to raise $4,000 because a hand cycle will be very expensive. Savanah wants to return to sports and thinks that the bike will provide her a new sense of freedom. She will work a rest stop during the bike rides to support those who come to ride for her. Already Catlin and Savanah have heard that the Challenge Athletes Foundation is sending a team. So is the Charlotte Police Department. All hand cycles are welcome. Organizers hope for at least 200 riders. Start and finish for the event, as well as registration is at South Rowan High
School. There is a 10-mile Family Ride for those who want to ride casually with their family through the countryside. Cost for this event is $10. The fifth rider out of each family is free. For those who want more of a challenge, there is a 30-mile ride and a 60- mile ride. Cost for both of these events is $25. Registration starts at 7 a.m., and the 60 mile ride leaves at 8 a.m., following by the 30-mile departure at 8:30 a.m., and finally the Family Ride at 9 a.m.. Race organizers will provide rest stops with water and fruit along the various courses. Bike helmets are required and all children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by a parent. All rides will be through the countryside around China Grove and Landis. More information can be obtained from Crystal Karriker at 704-798-7980. Join Catlin and Savanah for a day that means so much to the both of them. They will thank each rider, but the rewards will be many for those who “Pedal for Savanah.”
United Methodist Women get ready for Apple Festival, bazaar The United Methodist Women of Christ United Methodist Church have been busy getting ready for their Apple Festival, bazaar, yard sale and classic car show on Saturday, the major fundraiser for the group’s mission projects. The women met in July and compared their favorite recipes for apple butter and apple sauce, choosing the best-tasting for the festival. Jean Pinkston’s apple pie filling will also be sold in quart-jar size. “When you bake this in your pie crust, you will want to ‘thank God for little green apples,’ ” a press release said. In addition to crafts and home goods, the women have made jellies, cakes and pies. Fried apple pies are a favorite and the women have been eating them at their meetings for months. The day starts with breakfast at 7 a.m. Lunch is at 11 a.m.
“This is a cooking church and has some of the best cooks around,” the press release said. For lunch plates and sandwiches, the United Methodist Men will cook pork loin “that tastes so good it just makes your tongue want to slap your brains out.” Brenda Shoaf has made stained-glass items for the bazaar and Jill Bost has sewn Advent calendars and magnetic bulletin boards for kitchens and children’s rooms. Other items for sale include bean soup in a jar, Christmas decorations, spiced vinegar and tree branch candle holders. A silent auction will include an antique quilt, a lighthouse quilt, gift baskets, antiques, homemade bread baskets and a weekend in the mountains. This is the first year for the classic-car show.

EVEN BILLIONAIRES?
Hard times all around o maybe the rich don’t always get richer after all. Although Dole Food chairman and N.C. Research Campus founder David Murdock is still one of the richest Americans — tied with Oprah Winfrey and three others at No. 130 on the Forbes’ 400 list — his net worth has declined $1 billion compared to a year ago. He’s now worth about $3.7 billion, Forbes estimates. Murdock isn’t the only billionaire whose wealth has been eroded — proof that even titans of industry aren’t immune to the vicissitudes of equity markets and real estate prices. Overall, however, the nation’s wealthiest appear to be recovering from the recession more quickly than average Americans. About 55 percent of those on the Forbes 400 list increased their net worth over the past year. The total net worth of the Forbes 400 is up 8 percent, to $1.37 trillion, although that’s still lower than the record $1.57 trillion in net worth recorded in 2008. Meanwhile, at the other end of the networth scale, here are some statistics that average Americans may find it easier to relate to: Typical U.S. households earned less in 2009 than a decade earlier. The poverty rate was at a 15-year high of 14.3 percent in 2009, up from 13.2 percent in 2008, according to the Census Bureau. One in seven Americans — 43.6 million — was poor last year. The unemployment rate sits at 9.6 percent, with about 14.5 million people jobless. In reality, the actual number of poor Americans is probably higher than those figures would indicate. The government considers a family of four with an income below $22,000 to be living in poverty, but its formula for gauging poverty hasn’t been updated since 1963 and fails to take into account skyrocketing medical-care costs, transportation and child care. Foreclosure rates and some recent figures from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offer more evidence of how the have-nots are struggling: The number of families living in homeless shelters surged from 139,000 to 170,000 between 2007 and 2009. As Murdock noted in a recent speech, he expects his personal fortune to recover as the economy slowly improves. Unfortunately, even with the recession “officially” declared at an end last year, a lot of other people don’t feel very confident about their economic futures. Whether you’re looking at Rowan County or the nation as a whole, the key to regaining lost ground is creating new jobs, especially jobs that provide a livable wage and health insurance, and that portion of the recovery isn’t expected to steam ahead anytime soon. Rather than watching who’s up or down on the Forbes 400, many Americans are more concerned about some other lists — like foreclosures and the ranks of the unemployed. While the rich don’t always get richer, there’s evidence the poor are getting poorer — and the middle class is having a harder time making up for lost ground.

SALISBURY POST
Good intentions lead to bad bugs Environmentalists made DDT out to be worse than it was ook at an enlarged photo of one of them, and yikes! Bedbugs are ugly. The bigger deal will be when they dine on your flesh, thereby memorializing a spectacular comeback and providing some spectacular signals, to boot. And what are they signals of, these saliva-injecting, blood-sucking, itch-inducing, eyes-protruding, millimeter-measured mini-monsters staging a national invasion of hotels and homes after a halfcentury’s virtual absence? Just this — that government interventionism has gone maniacal, that human advancement is being undone as human JAY freedoms are rolled back AMBROSE and that our self-supposed superiors are forever making our lives worse in the name of making them better. All of this and more was put in elucidating perspective recently in a Colorado Springs talk by Jeffrey Tucker, an economist with the Ludwig von Mises Institute who noted that once upon a time the purpose of so-called progressives was to enhance humanity’s material well being. They seldom if ever enhanced anything, but at least the cause was more justifiable than the one that began emerging with John Kenneth Galbraith’s book “The Affluent Society,” in 1958. Galbraith was well past the indefensible notion that capitalism made anyone poorer. It didn’t. It did the opposite, and we therefore had a new problem. Wealth. Or as he put it, materialism and consumerism, dread afflictions visited upon us by productivity and rising living standards and all those other moral encumbrances of free exchange. Americans were soon to learn of even

After Galbraith came environmentalism. “Now poverty was the goal” of progressives, said Tucker as he observed that civilization is defined by such achievements as clean homes, the pickup of garbage that would otherwise spread disease and the money to fund concerts and churches. Because people around the world pursued objectives of this kind, their numbers increased from 500 million five centuries ago to seven billion today. Sadly, however, governments especially inspired by environmentalist trepidation keep devising restrictions and mandates to scoot us in the direction of hunter-gatherer days. All of which brings us back to bedbugs. They were practically eliminated in this country 50 years ago by the pesticide DDT. But DDT itself was practically eliminated with a U.S. ban after Rachel Carson’s book, “Silent Spring,” mistakenly made it out to be many times as dangerous to wildlife and people as careful study has shown it was.
DDT was not only effective in killing bedbugs, but also mosquitoes that carry the malaria virus sickening people worldwide, Tucker said. As someone who has studied the issue, I can vouch that the disappearance of DDT significantly reduced the means for protecting the lives of Third World inhabitants and condemned many to painful deaths. One estimate puts the toll for children at 20 million, and the only excuse has been the remote possibility of risks some scientists dismiss as all but nonexistent. Though indoor spraying of DDT is still badly needed in Africa, it is not the central issue. Bedbugs may even be resistant to it at this point, Tucker said. What matters more in ways large and small is that governmental “interventions subvert the capacity to civilize our world.” Government, said Tucker, is the only thing in the world that kills more people than insects. Private property is the only rescue from poverty, he told the audience, and freedom is what gave us civilization. Government too often just gets in the way, as it is now doing with rules about kinds of light bulbs you may soon no longer buy, about pointless recycling that complicates the crucial task of garbage removal or even about showerheads that reduce water pressure. He says we take our civilization so much for granted now that government thinks it can trample on precious accomplishments without consequence when, in fact, its interfering deeds are “the enemies of all that makes life grand.” Something to think about when the bedbugs bite. • • • Jay Ambrose, formerly Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers, is a columnist living in Colorado.

‘Rally to Restore Sanity’ fueled by political humor Scripps Howard News Service
omedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert may be the masters of fake news, but there’s nothing to indicate they’re kidding around this time. The two have announced that they plan to hold competing rallies Oct. 30 in Washington, D.C. Stewart and Colbert, who host “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report,” applied for a single permit to gather 25,000 people on the Washington Monument grounds, according to National Park Service spokesman Bill Line. Will 25,000 people actually show up? We tend to think they will. In fact, it might be a rally that people who don’t normally like rallies — or crowds — will attend, just because of who the hosts are.

Stephen Colbert: Fighting ‘dark, optimistic forces.’ the duo’s methods of “reporting” the news, but it’s hard to deny that their programs have created a whole new generation of young people who are actually interested in current events. Who can resist admitting that politics is funny and the people who practice politics — or want to practice politics — are sometimes more hilarious than the star of the latest HBO comedy special?
Sometimes the language gets a little rough, but even Comedy Central knows how to use the “bleep” machine. Stewart’s rally, “for people too busy with their normal lives to go to other political rallies,” is titled the “Rally to Restore Sanity.” Colbert, who said the United States is “built on three bedrock principles: freedom, liberty and fear that someone might take our freedom and liberty,” is calling his the “March to Keep Fear Alive.” Of course, they’re on the Web. There’s not much there, other than what on any other political site might be called “guiding principles.” Stewart’s message: “We’re looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard and
who believe that the only time it’s appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles. . . . Join us in the shadow of the Washington Monument. And bring your indoor voice.” And Colbert’s: “There are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our fear — forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our fear with reason. But never forget — ‘reason’ is just one letter away from ‘treason.’ Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can’t afford to take that chance.” At least with Stewart and Colbert, you know they’re spoofing something. With some politicians — and political commentators — you’re never really sure.

DSI FROM 4A plan for downtown, which was praised for the guidance it had provided redevelopment efforts. Members of the group said it was good to see all that had been accomplished. “It’s nice to see all our work for the last 30 years blossom in front of us,” said DSI board member Brian Miller. He praised the growth of the Night Out events, live entertainment at Brick Street Live and other efforts to
bring the public back downtown. One of Salisbury’s newest merchants, Lynne Harrell of The Sweetest Thing bakery, said she and her husband had made the decision to both live and work in downtown. “It’s just a great environment,” Harrell said. “I think we’re lucky to be in Salisbury,” Hemann said. “We’ve got fantastic leadership in this city.” And local businesspeople, Hemann said, “harness the energy of different people and groups” through the organization. “If they don’t do it, it doesn’t get done.”

Mary London soars through the air in a hot-air balloon.
BALLOON FROM 4A tentions, they presented Mary with a balloon-styled basket containing an African violet and the promise of a trip to come. Adams said it took awhile to find a company willing to travel with a 94-year-old passenger, who still struggles a bit from the effects of a broken hip in 2006. But Sweet Dreams out of Indian Trail rose to the challenge — not that London presented any except for getting in and out of the basket. She simply relied on the strong arms of her grandson Barry and Nena’s son-in-law Ray. The adventure became, of course, a family affair and included three balloons carrying London and seven other close relatives. Meanwhile, the chase crew on the ground encompassed an additional 10 family members. London rode in her balloon with 17-year-old greatgrandson Travis Millard, who will be entering the Army in October. Each of the other two balloons carried three members of the family. London’s yellow, blue and black balloon — called “Two Sweet” — took off first from a field near Troutman in Iredell County. Jeffrey Sweet, owner of the balloon company, was her pilot. Adams said the balloons rose upwards of 2,000 feet during their trip over the fields, treetops and rooftops of Iredell, riding only the breath of a breeze during a gorgeous Sunday. As passengers in the three balloons stayed within sight of each other, they cherished their birds-eye, early evening view of Lake Norman, Mooresville, Statesville and, in the distance, Salisbury. There was no place in her
crowded basket to sit, though London had no intention of doing that anyway. The family members in the cars tracking the balloons for more than an hour included London’s younger sister, Charlotte Cranford, who was visiting from Newton. Charlotte and Mary are the only surviving children of their family that once had 19 siblings. As she watched her sister’s balloon pass close to trees and power lines, “I said, ‘I’m not looking,’” Charlotte recalled. The balloons eventually landed in a field 4 to 5 miles outside of Statesville. “I didn’t even know when it touched the ground,” London said of the soft landing. On their way home, the group of 18 people stopped at a Cracker Barrel for Sunday night dinner, and London didn’t arrive back at her house until after 10 p.m. “I wouldn’t take nothing for that trip,” she said. Mary has four children, nine grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and a great-great grandchild — five generations who were wrapped up in her balloon ride. Though Nena and Myra are close by and always checking in, London lives alone now since the death late last year of her husband Charlie “Leroy” London. The couple marked their 71st anniversary Dec. 10, and Leroy died eight days later. London said she misses him terribly, but it hasn’t dampened her spirit of exploration. Nena asked Mary this week what else might be on her bucket list and, without pausing a moment to reflect, Mary answered she always wanted to ride in a helicopter. “Oh, goodness,” Nena said.

Man wearing motorcycle helmet tries to rob Food Lion in Mount Pleasant Armed suspect claims to have put bomb in store; no cash taken An armed man who claimed to have planted a bomb in a Mount Pleasant Food Lion tried to rob the store Wednesday night, the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. Authorities had not made an arrest by Thursday.
New bus route to go along MLK Jr. Avenue BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
The city has changed a bus route to offer service on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, where the new Salisbury Customer Service Center is scheduled to open next month. The route also will provide service at Abundant Living Adult Day Care, Rufty-Holmes Senior Center and the sports complex across the street. Effective Nov. 7, the route changes will eliminate backtracking and offer more frequent service, Transit Manager Rodney Harrison said. “It will be very helpful to have transportation in that area,” Salisbury City Council member Pete Kennedy said Tuesday night when council approved the change. Inbound stops for Route 1Green Route, which leaves Rowan-Cabarrus Community College every hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., have changed. Outbound stops have not. The new inbound route will stop at Lutheran Home and Klumac Square on Klumac Road, then continue to the Customer Service Center and other sites on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, including Brookview Apartments. On Old Concord Road, the bus will stop at South Shaver, Monroe, South Long and Fisher streets. On East Innes Street, stops include South Long Street. Departure and arrival times at the transfer site on Depot Street will remain the same, Harrison said.
Couple tries to take cart of groceries from Walmart Police stopped a Salisbury couple as they were leaving Walmart with a cart full of groceries. Van Johnny Helton, 47, and Rebecca Lynne Helton, 41, of 1050 Sidney Drive, were charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, and both were given $500 secured bonds. According to the Salisbury Police Department, this is not the Heltons’ first attempt at a scam. Police say the couple recently attempted to leave the Kannapolis Walmart with stolen items, but the greeter allowed them to leave once the items were returned.
How To Get The Perfect Shoe Fit
According to witnesses, a man dressed in black and wearing a motorcycle helmet and sunglasses walked into the store around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. The man brandished a handgun and demanded money from the store manager. “He further stated that he had planted an explosive device in the store and stated he would set off the device if necessary,” the Sheriff’s Office press release said. The manager somehow got away from the man and locked herself in
an office, where she called 911. The man then left the store. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the store a couple minutes after the manager called 911 but did not find the suspect. They cleared and searched the store and found no explosive device. Investigators believe the man rode away from the store on a motorcycle, the press release said, but no one reported seeing one. Witnesses described the suspect as a white man around 5-foot-11,
weighing 165-180 pounds, and dressed in a black jacket, black baggy pants and gloves. He also wore a black backpack, a gray fanny pack, sunglasses with red lenses and a gray motocrosss-style helmet with red lines or writing on it. Because of the clothing, helmet and sunglasses, witnesses couldn’t estimate the man’s age. “These are very desperate times, and unfortunately, criminals are doing very desperate acts of vio-

BY BRET STRELOW The middle of December is still a dozen weeks away, but Jon Crucitti has another appointment to visit an ACC stadium. Crucitti is a freshman slotback at Army, which will face Duke in Durham on Saturday at 3 p.m. He was a key contributor on West Rowan teams that closed seasons a few weeks shy of Christmas by winning 3A titles at Wake Forest’s BB&T Field in 2008 and N.C. State’s Carter-Finley Stadium in 2009.
Clausen needs help to energize offense
The next Big Four stop for Crucitti: Wallace Wade Stadium. “Any time you get to play in an ACC stadium, in front of a CRUCITTI home crowd for me, at least, I’ve definitely b e e n excited from the day I saw the schedule,” Crucitti said earlier this week. “I have definitely been looking forward to this one.”

Jimmy clausen, left, slaps hands with steve smith.
CHARLOTTE — While the winless Carolina Panthers hope rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen can spark a stagnant offense, it would help if he had more than one receiving option. Through two games, it appears four-time Pro Bowl pick Steve Smith is again the lone threat. There are numerous ugly offensive numbers that helped get Matt Moore benched after two games. The Panthers have two scored touchdowns and committed eight turnovers. They’ve allowed eight sacks, and the dominant rushing attack from a year ago has stalled.
But the lack of production at receiver is glaring outside of Smith, who has eight catches for 141 yards and two scores despite facing nearly constant double teams. The Panthers’ offseason youth movement cost Muhsin Muhammad his job and precluded Carolina from going after veteran r e ceivers such as Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin or T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The youthful unknown replacements have been nearly non-factors so far — and the New York Giants and Tampa Bay have acted accordingly by stacking the box to stop the run and putting bracket coverage on Smith.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER
Friday Night
Scercy showed great versatility or countless years, a black-and-white photo of Leroy Scercy, wearing No. 56 and crashing through desperate Winecoff tacklers, hung in the office at A.L. Brown High. “I was up there on the wall between Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin,” MIKE Scercy said LONDON with a chuckle. Tacklers would have preferred trying to bring down “Honest Abe.” When the topic “Who was the best back in Wonders’ history?” is on the CarolinaPreps message board, old-timers bring Scercy into the discussion alongside more recent marvels Harry Greene, Haskel Stanback, Terry Baxter and Nick Maddox. Those old-timers may not be off their rockers. Scercy lugged the ball in a slower, smaller world, but he was a higher lifeform, decades ahead of his time. In the mid-1950s, he was 200 pounds of greased lightning. He outweighed most linemen and was close to unstoppable. Said China Grove great Carl Drye, who played in the 1955 Shrine Bowl with Scercy before heading to Duke, “Leroy was the best I ever played against.”

carson head coach Mark Woody speaks with an official during the unbeaten cougars’ victory against North rowan.
Cougars focused on next game Roaming the county getting ready for tonight ... avid Bennett used to get that sour, cringing look on his face whenever I mentioned Carson-Newman before his Catawba Indians played the Eagles. “Don’t mention it until it gets here,” he’d always tell me. That’s why RONNIE I’ve tried to GALLAGHER hold off on gushing about Friday, Oct. 8. That’s when West Rowan visits NPC rival Carson. But I must stop and talk about how those teams are
D
doing heading into tonight, three weeks before the much-anticipated matchup. Both are undefeated. We expected West to be 5-0 at this point. But Carson? 5-0? We figured they’d be improved. But 5-0? “I don’t know if it’s settled in yet,” Carson coach Mark Woody said. “I don’t see how we’re that much different from how we were two years ago. Maybe I’m blind.” Or maybe, like Bennett, he doesn’t want to think about the big game until the big game arrives. For Woody, tonight’s home game against Statesville is on his brain. And he knows the Greyhounds are talented. No one expects West to lose in the regular season.
Games at 7:30 P.M.
West Rowan at South Rowan Statesville at Carson South Stanly at North Rowan Salisbury at Davie County East Rowan at West Iredell Robinson at A.L. Brown Th Falcons’ win streak is at 35 going into tonight’s game at South Rowan.
Woody’s Cougars are coming off a win in which
they relied on running back Shaun Warren and racked up 431 yards of offense against Robinson. Only 91 were through the air despite the fact Carson has the county’s top passing duo in quarterback Zack Gragg and receiver Cody Clanton. “I had every intention of throwing the ball Friday night,” Woody said. “It got to the point where I probably forced a couple of things. They were doing some things where I didn’t know what to call.” With a smile, Woody added, “But I do know one thing. Give it to No. 5 (Warren) and you’ve got a chance.”

Even if you don’t believe Scercy was the Wonders’ best back, he might be the finest all-round athlete Kannapolis ever produced. In the 1955-56 school year, when he was a senior, Scercy accomplished a rare triple. He made the all-state teams in SCERCY football, baseball and basketball. “I did some track too,” Scercy said. “Whatever event we needed points in.” Scercy liked basketball best. He jumped center at 6-foot-1 and outleaped or ran rings around the 6-4 guys. “I loved basketball,” Scercy said. “It was a rough sport, and I was rough. I had a great coach. Dan Hamrick was a great coach.” Where does Scercy’s athletic story begin? Maybe the day a tough Jackson Park Elementary principal named John Oehler bought Scercy his first pair of spiked football shoes. Or maybe it was the day Scercy tried out for the 1952 Kannapolis Legion team. Kannapolis was a Legion powerhouse in the 1950s the way Rowan County is now. Scercy was an eighthgrader, but he made the team.

ders. Common Sense guessed South Rowan by a 28-21 score over Central Cabarrus, and 27-21 was the reality. The chance of Common Sense enjoying back-to-back brilliant weeks are remote, but the season mark is up to 24-5 and life is good. Last week’s best game for spectators had to be A.L. Brown’s amazing win — the Wonders trailed 24-7 on the road — but that victory wasn’t out of context with the program’s track record. The Wonders lack the ruthless efficiency that has generat-
ed 35 straight wins for West Rowan, but they do have a knack for entertainment. During Ron Massey’s 11 seasons as head coach, the Wonders have prevailed in more than MASSEY their share of shootouts. The victory at Kings Mountain marked the 20th time Massey’s Wonders have allowed 25 or more points and still
escaped with a win. The 32 points allowed marked a new high for a regulation win during his tenure, but it should be noted Brown managed to win 39-38 against T.C. Roberson in the second round of the 2005 playoffs in two overtimes. Since 2000, the Wonders own, by far, the most shootout wins in the area, if we define a “shootout win” as surrendering 25 or more and still being able to celebrate.

TORONTO — On a day of milestones, Jose Bautista’s big shot won the game. Bautista hit his major league-leading 50th home run, connecting off Felix Hernandez and sending the Toronto Blue Jays over the Seattle Mariners 1-0. Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki also became the first player with 10 straight 200-hit seasons, breaking his own record with a fifth-inning single. Bautista became the 26th player in baseball history to reach the 50-home run mark with a first-inning drive off Hernandez (12-12). “It’s really a big honor to be put in that elite group of hitters,” Bautista said. All 50 of Bautista’s homers have been to left or left center. He has a major league-high 31 at home. Rays 10, Yankees 3 NEW YORK — B.J.

Ian Kinsler ended the streak by drawing a leadoff walk in the eighth. Braden walked two and struck out seven. NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants 13, Cubs 0 CHICAGO — Juan Uribe hit a grand slam and a tworun homer, both shots coming during a nine-run second.

Delhomme still sitting out Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio — Jake Delhomme, who injured his right ankle in his Week 1 debut with the Browns, has not been cleared to practice. It appears he will be sidelined for this Sunday’s game in Baltimore and possibly next week as well. Browns coach Eric Mangini has been intentionally vague about Delhomme’s status, and the team has given no specifics about the severity of the ankle injury, which the 35-year-old sustained while throwing a costly interception in the first half of the opener at Tampa Bay. If Delhomme can’t play, and that appears the case, backup Seneca Wallace will make his second straight start against the Ravens. JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets owner Woody Johnson told Braylon Edwards that the star wide receiver’s arrest for drunken driving Tuesday morning disappointed the team and himself. “I just shared with him my feelings,” Johnson said Thursday. “I told him exactly what I’m telling you: ‘This is not acceptable, Braylon. I’m disappointed. You let yourself down. You let the team down.’ ” VIKINGS EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre says he simply has to play better to get the Minnesota Vikings out of an 0-2 hole.
Favre committed four turnovers in a 14-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He says it’s been difficult to recreate the chemistry and magic he had last year because of injuries to Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin. “I don’t want to raise red flags,” Favre said. “We gotta get on the same page, because we’re 0-2. We gotta find a way to get this thing going. I gotta make better decisions.” Harvin returned to practice on Thursday after missing the previous session with a migraine headache. RAIDERS ALAMEDA, Calif.— Bruce Gradkowski’s excitement over being named starting quarterback didn’t last long. Having seen the team already make one change after only six quarters, he realizes there isn’t much job security. CHARGERS SAN DIEGO — Running back Ryan Mathews has missed his second straight practice with a high ankle sprain. His prospects of playing decrease with every missed practice, making it less likely that he’ll be available for Sunday’s game. CARDINALS TEMPE, Ariz. — Running back Beanie Wells went through much more of practice Thursday, increasing the probability that he will play in the Cardinals’ home opener. RAMS ST. LOUIS — Safety Craig Dahl is still feeling effects of a concussion.

Davis wishes he’d worn brace BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Thomas Davis glanced down at the large knee brace in front of his locker Thursday and shook his head. The Carolina linePanthers backer is convinced that if he had been wearing it in June, he wouldn’t be sweating through a second grueling rehabilitation from a torn knee ligament in seven months. DAVIS Davis thinks that bulky brace would have allowed him to be preparing for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati instead of vowing to return sometime in November. “If I had it on I don’t think we’d be standing here talking about a second surgery, Davis said. It was the lone moment Davis strayed from his upbeat tone. He had just finished what he called his first pain-free, full-speed running session. He glanced over at the schedule on the wall in the back of the locker room and pointed at Nov. 14 at Tampa Bay as the target date for his return from a second torn anterior cruciate ligament. How confident is Davis he’ll be back this year? “If I was betting man I’d bet everything I had. How about that?” Davis said. “But seeing I’m not a betting man...” The speedy outside linebacker then said he’d rate his chances of playing in 2010 at 75 percent.
OFFENSE FROM 1B It might explain why the moody Smith declined to answer questions about Clausen or anything else on Thursday. “We’ve got a very young group there,” coach John Fox said of his receivers. The Panthers’ second-leading receiver is running back Mike Goodson with five catches for 64 yards. Then comes tight end Dante Rosario with five receptions for 61 yards and running back DeAngelo Williams, who has caught three balls for 20 yards. Finally, a receiver shows up fifth on the list. Dwayne Jarrett, beaten out by two rookies for starting assignments in the first two games, has two catches for 40 yards. Jarrett, one of Carolina’s most disappointing players since being taken in the second round in 2007, didn’t have a pass thrown his way in Carolina’s 20-7 loss to the Buccaneers. “I had a good talk with Coach Fox. It’s not a trust factor,” Jarrett said. “I guess they’re trying out new things. They want to see some of the new guys and find out the right rotation. Hopefully, this week I can be in the starting lineup.” He might just by the process of elimination. Rookie Brandon LaFell, who started the opener and sat out last week with a sore hamstring, has two catches for 22 yards. He returned to practice on Thursday but said he wasn’t sure if he’ll play Sunday. Rookie David Gettis, who started last week, had just two catches for 18 yards and is still raw after playing in a run-oriented offense at Baylor. Rookie Armanti Edwards, a converted college quarterback from Appalachian State, has been on the inactive list for the first two games
“I’ve been running for a while now, but today was the first day it felt really good,” Davis said. “Like no pain, just straight out running. I had my brace on. I’m not making that mistake again.” Davis blamed himself for not wearing the brace on his right knee as he made a speedy recovery from the first torn ACL suffered in a Nov. 8 loss at New Orleans. The first injury ended Davis’ best season a pro, perhaps even worthy of a Pro Bowl invitation. Davis was making a rapid recovery and was clocked at running the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds. Shortly thereafter he was participating in a June workout without a brace when he went down a second time while backpedaling. “It was my choice. It was based on how I felt,” Davis said on not wearing a brace. “We felt strongly about how the recovery went the first time. I was able to go out and run full speed and do all these things that you normally wouldn’t be able to do at five months, six months. It was just one of those things that happened.” The second recovery has gone better, Davis said, because the ACL was repaired with a piece of his patellar tendon instead of his hamstring, which got him back running quicker. The Panthers, who placed Davis on the reserve physically unable to perform list, have a three-week window after Week 6 to decide whether to put Davis on the 53-man roster. Davis vows that will happen, and he’ll become a brace-wearing man. “Not the rest of my career,” Davis said, “but definitely the rest of this year.”
as he learns a new position. “It’s kind of a given that I just need to improve on being a receiver,” Edwards said. With Edwards not getting a jersey and Charly Martin placed on injured reserve last week with a hamstring injury, the Panthers dressed only three receivers against the Bucs. Rosario was used in some three- and four-receiver sets but couldn’t come up with a slightly overthrown ball that would’ve been a touchdown. “That’s an example that there are plays to be made,” Rosario said. “If a few things go a little bit differently for us, it’s a different game.” Moore might still have a starting job if he hadn’t overthrown an open Gettis for what would’ve also been a touchdown Sunday. Yet the sixthround pick, known for his speed, still thinks he can become a muchneeded deep threat. “I think the coaches are pushing that — use what God gave you, use your abilities, use what we brought you here for and use it every snap,” Gettis said. “And that’s what I plan to do.” It would help if Jarrett finally showed the potential Carolina expected when it took him and released Keyshawn Johnson days later. Jarrett has been criticized for his work ethic and not knowing the playbook, was arrested for driving while impaired and has caught one NFL touchdown pass in four seasons. “I wouldn’t say angry, more frustrated than anything,” Jarrett said on not starting. “But what can you do? You just have to go out there and keep working hard. Hopefully, I get my opportunity.”
NOTES: Smith remained limited in practice with a sore thigh but is expected to play Sunday. ... The Panthers signed former Jets WR Marcus Henry to the practice squad and released RB Josh Vaughan.

for Davie’s defense in his absence. Davie is off to its worst start since 1991 and has been outscored 132-68, but it’s still a dangerous team with QB Carson Herndon (726 passing yards) and receivers Joe Watson (20 catches, 313 yards, three TDs) and Darius Wilson (15-210). Watson is committed to Duke. Davie hasn’t run the ball often or very effectively, so Salisbury’s pass defense will likely get a workout. QB John Knox (495 passing yards, 260 rushing yards) is now the all-time leading passer at Salisbury. He has 4,026 yards of total offense for his career and is closing in on Eddie Kesler’s school record (4,199) that has stood since 1959. The Hornets would like to get Romar Morris rolling again behind an offensive line that includes center Montana Harmon. The speedster had 19 carries for just 96 yards and zero TDs the past two weeks. — Mike London

against a good Mooresville team. It was the Falcons’ fourth shutout this fall, already tying the school record for a full season. West has yet to allow a point in the first half. South has been OK on offense (23.4 points a game), but it’s also allowed 39, 45 and 50 points in its losses. Linebackers Scotty Magnuson and Leo Pope will be keys for South’s defensive unit tonight. South QB Mark McDaniel is one of the NPC’s best players, He has been phenomenal the past two weeks, but it’s going be a challenge for him to keep South in this one. West DBs Domonique Noble, Trey Mashore, Eric Cowan, Darryl Jackson Jr. and John Dunlap have been spectacular, but Mashore will miss tonight’s game with illness.

Martin
Gilbert
Carson, which is getting sacks from linemen Micah Honeycutt and Ryan Shoaf and breakups form DBs Dontae Gilbert and Nick Martin, has gotten at least one pick every game. Offensively, Shaun Warren continues to motor. He gets the ball 30 times a game and has responded with 8.0 yards per carry. He’s scored 14 touchdowns. It’s not like Warren will catch the Greyhounds, who use a 4-3 defense, by surprise. He had 33 carries for 250 yards against them as a junior. Carson also has Cody Clanton, the county’s top receiver with 22 catches for 434 yards and five TDs. QB Zack Gragg and Clanton could have exceptional nights if Warren draws all of Statesville’s attention. Directed by super sophomore Carlis Parker, Statesville has scored at least 25 points every game. The Hounds lost to A.L.

The Warriors beat Lake Norman 36-14 in their last action Sept. 10 Next week: East Rowan is home against Carson; West Iredell is at West Rowan Game notes: East won on a field goal by Andrew May on the final play of the game last season. May has moved on, but QB Jamey Blalock and RB Chris Moore, who scored East’s touchdowns in that electrifying win, remain in uniform.
Jackson
Robertson
North, playing in the friendly confines of Eagle Stadium, appears to be the favorite mostly because South Stanly’s Rebel Bulls were totally overmatched against Mount Pleasant last week. South Stanly surrendered 500-plus yards to the Tigers and didn’t complete a pass. Javonde Gramling supplies most of the offense for South Stanly, but North did a good job against him last season, holding him to 38 yards on 15 carries. South Stanly’s season took a huge hit when QB Jalen Holt transferred to North Stanly. South Stanly reportedly had just two seniors suit up last week, and the Rebel Bulls are even more depth-shy than the Cavaliers. North has minus rushing yardage for the year, but it’s moved the ball with sophomore T.J. Allen throwing to Pierre Givens and Sam Starks. Will Robertson is a dependable blocker. Darius Jackson is shining at linebacker. — Mike London
A.L. Brown Time: 7:30 p.m. Records: Robinson 2-2; A.L. Brown 3-1; SPC opener for both Series: Wonders lead 5-0 Last meetings: Brown beat the Bulldogs twice in 2009, 34-14 on the road in the regular season and 30-14 at Memorial Stadium in the opening round of the 3AA playoffs Streaks: Brown’s last losing season was in 1977. The Wonders have won or shared the last three SPC championships Last week: Robinson fell to Carson 49-35; Wonders rallied to win a 35-32 shootout at Kings Mountain Next week: Robinson is home against Concord; Wonders are at Central Cabarrus Game notes: Robinson has scored 85 points the past two weeks against South Rowan and Carson, which is a little scary, but the Bulldogs also gave up 81. A.L. Brown allowed 294 passing yards last week at Kings Mountain,

Still, fortunes have changed greatly for the Mustangs. The past three weeks, they’ve lost to three Cabarrus County schools they beat in 2009, when they went 9-4. East’s defense, which includes DB Shawn Galloway and rush end Kevin Gillespie, has performed OK (24.8 points a game allowed), but the offense (16 total points the past four weeks) has struggled. East ranks last in Rowan in passing, scoring and total offense. It’s fifth in rushing. East will be a big underdog tonight on the road. West Iredell has had two weeks to get ready, and it has the motivational edge of seeking to avenge last season’s tough loss. West Iredell’s last outing — a romp against 4A Lake Norman — was its best so far, so the Warriors appear headed in the right direction under coach Mark Weycker.

never did give up. Trailing the Hornets in shootout wins in the last 10-plus seasons are East Rowan (eight), West Rowan (six), North Rowan (six), Davie (five), South Rowan (three) and Carson (three). Salisbury’s 51-41 win against Ledford in 2005 ranks as the most defenseless win by any county team since 2000, but even that crowd-pleaser takes a back seat to Davie’s dizzying 50-49 triumph against Greensboro Page in 2008. Honorable mention goes to East Rowan’s crazy 43-42 win against Northwest Cabarrus in OT in 2001.

West Rowan obviously isn’t a big fan of giving up 25 points. During its current winning streak, West has called on its offense to win just two shootouts — 39-36 against Davie in 2009 and last season’s 36-29 playoff win against Tuscola. The picks: West Rowan 35, South Rowan 7 Thirty-five points and 35 straight county wins. West-Carson on Oct. 8. It’ll be here before you know it.

so Wonder DBs, led by Kaleel Hollis, can expect an aerial bombardment from Robinson QB Joey Bastine. He was 11 for 26 for 343 yards against Carson. Brown has gotten used to playing without star back Travis Riley and managed to win last week with Xavier Stanback, the other projected backfield starter, joining Riley on the shelf. Brown still wiped out a 24-7 deficit — on the road — against a good team, which says positive things about this group’s resilience. Brown figures to find a way to beat Robinson, although the Wonders wil have few breezy SPC games with every opponent stacking the box against the run. QB Martel Campbell came through with big plays last week — running and throwing — and he’ll be the key figure for Brown most weeks. Keeon Johnson is emerging as a real standout at receiver. He had two TD catches last week. — Mike London
home against South Stanly in a battle of 0-4 teams. East Rowan is still looking for first-year coach Chad Tedder’s second win. The Mustangs, who won their opener before dropping four straight, are headed to West Iredell. A.L. Brown is playing host to Robinson, a team that has scored 85 points in the last two weeks against Rowan County teams. But the Bulldogs have also given up 81 in those two games. Expect a lit-up scoreboard.
How ’bout a shout-out to a loyal Post sports reader: Gary Penley, who grew up in Rowan County but reads the Post daily online from — ready for this? — the Republic of the Philippines. I’ll bet he can’t wait for Oct. 8, either.

FOOTBALL
N.C. State’s Cole packing a punch BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
RALEIGH — Audie Cole has always loved to hit. Since he’s been at N.C. State, the former Golden Gloves fighter has been doing it with pads. A boxer in high school, Cole has found a home as a linebacker with the Wolfpack (3-0). One of the team’s top tacklers, he COLE will play a focal role in their defense during this week’s ACC matchup with ground-oriented Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-0). “When you’re having fun playing football, it’s hard to lose,” Cole said. “That’s the only way to have fun, is by winning.” Especially if those victories come with plenty of hard hits. It seems Cole always has had a thing for contact sports, whether it’s football, baseball or boxing. His high school boxing coach back in his hometown of Monroe, Mich., thought he could’ve been a contender in the ring, but he knew Cole’s heart was with football. He says he’s given up boxing because he can’t find anyone in Raleigh with whom he could spar, though he admitted he did once trade a few jabs during a trip home. “I’m kind of retired, I think of it as,” Cole said. Instead, he’s saving those hits for the football field. N.C. State’s stats list Cole as the team’s leading tackler with 18, though the ACC credits Terrell Manning with 18 and Cole with 17. Cole’s total in-
cludes a 12-stop performance two weeks ago at Central Florida in which he also had three behind the line of scrimmage, one sack and an interception. That may have been the breakout night for Cole, a redshirt junior who’s in his second season as the starting strongside linebacker and is flourishing under new position coach Jon Tenuta — a coaching lifer renowned for his propensity to blitz. “It definitely has to do with maturity as well,” Cole said. “All the years, everything I’ve learned, it’s all started to come together. Everyone’s playing fast. They always say, ‘If you think, you’re wrong,’ so that’s what we’re trying to avoid.” Cole has joined Nate Irving, who missed all of 2009 when he was seriously injured in a car wreck, and Manning to form the core of one of the ACC’s top defenses. N.C. State ranks third in total defense and second in scoring defense, allowing averages of 294 yards and 15.7 points through three games. They’re a big reason why the Wolfpack is off to its best start since 2002. “I think all three linebackers are good players,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “Certainly the guy that they missed, Nate, coming back is a big help for them. ... They’re all good players. They’ve got a good linebacking group.” If the Wolfpack considers Cole as the quarterback of the defense, that would make sense. Cole was a high school QB who didn’t really begin to think like a linebacker until midway through last season. “I’ve still got a lot to work on,” he said. “I’m still not near where I can be, and that goes for all of us. We’re all still making too many mistakes.”

Davis: UNC will monitor better BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Butch Davis said Thursday his program needs to do more to monitor what players are doing and who they’re associating with following an NCAA investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct. “After looking back at it, certainly I’m going to take the responsibility that if there are ways I can help make sure these things don’t ever happen again, we’re clearly going to (do that) in all the areas,” Davis said before an afternoon practice. The status of 10 players remains in doubt for this weekend’s game at Rutgers, including Marvin Austin — who has been suspended indefinitely for breaking team rules — and Robert Quinn on defense, as well as top receiver Greg Little and tailback Ryan Houston. On Wednesday, the NCAA suspended cornerback Kendric Burney for six games and safety Deunta Williams four for receiving improper benefits tied to several trips. In addition, Burney’s association with former North Carolina and Marshall defensive back Chris Hawkins was an issue. The NCAA ruled Hawkins qualifies as an agent after he paid $1,000 for a jersey from Georgia receiver A.J. Green. Hawkins had been around the program in recent years and is a friend of former Tar Heel back Willie Parker, though athletic director Dick Baddour has said Hawkins is no longer welcome around the football facility. Since the NCAA first visited the campus in July, the review has also focused on the close friendship between former assistant
who rushed for 27 yards on a teamhigh 13 carries. More importantly, his blocking on the edges helped the Black Knights total 292 yards on the ground against a defense that focused on crowding the middle of the field. “It was thick in there, and we needed to get the ball outside,” Army coach Rich Ellerson said during his weekly press conference. “We were fortunate that Jonathan Crucitti was able to step in there and be a key guy with what he was able to do without
coach John Blake and California-based agent Gary Wichard, as well as a cross-country trip taken by Austin and former Tar Heel Cam Thomas to train in California. Thomas said the trip was paid for by former teammate Kentwan Balmer, now in the NFL. Davis said the program will do more to educate players and their families about what NCAA rules about improper benefits, ranging from seminars to info pamphlets. “Obviously we’ve got to do a better job,” Davis said. “We’ve got to do more of it. And we’re going to do that.” The NCAA is handling the investigation into agent-related benefits, while the school has led the probe into academic issues that are connected to a former tutor whom Davis also hired to tutor his son. While the school has not specified which players are linked to which issues, Baddour said that some of the players are involved in both. Baddour said the school’s academic support center decided not to retain the unidentified tutor after the spring 2009 semester because she had become friends with players, which violates the center’s policy requiring a professional tutor-student relationship. Davis said Thursday there was no mention of any potential violations or concerns about her conduct after her departure. The tutor had worked for Davis’ family the previous two school years. “We’re not suggesting in any way that anything was inappropriate,” Baddour said. “They strongly believe it should be tutorto-student and it shouldn’t blend over to anything else. It wasn’t anything specific. It was just in their eyes, it had started to develop into more of a student relationship.”
the ball. It was really crucial to our ability to move the ball.” Crucitti almost scored a touchdown midway through the second quarter. He sprinted to the right sideline on a third-and-3 carry from the 7yard line, left his feet at the 2 and extended the ball toward the pylon while parallel to the turf. The ball crossed the plane of the end zone, but a video review confirmed the on-field call that Crucitti had stepped out of bounds at the 2. “I was hoping my first college re-
play would play in my favor, but it didn’t turn out that way,” Crucitti said with a laugh. “Fortunately, I was able to come back on the next play, I cut down a guy on the edge and got one of our other running backs in the end zone.” Crucitti’s cut block enabled Malcolm Brown to score for a 14-0 lead, and the Black Knights pitched their first shutout since 2005. As a West Rowan senior, Crucitti made his official visit to West Point, N.Y., during a September weekend

He batted .272 with 84 homers, 97 doubles and 26 triples in his minor league odyssey.

He’s not sure what role he’ll have Saturday, noting that Mealy has progressed nicely in his recovery from the injury that sidelined him against North Texas. “He is the man,” Crucitti said. “He’s helped me with any questions I’ve had. Any problems I had, I could always take them straight to him. He played a huge role in preparing me to step in last week and be completely ready to play.”
Little Rock nine years,” Scercy said. “There was a lot of politics involved.” His final baseball stop was Salisbury. Playing at Newman Park in 1960 for the Salisbury Braves, he batted .303 with 16 homers in 66 games. WSAT’s Buddy Poole was a batboy and remembers Scercy lashing towering drives over the rightfield wall and beating out bunts. He hit one out of sight on the Fourth of July, and he scored the run that gave Salisbury the pennant, but that was the end of the story. He was just 24, but the four-year window he’d given himself to make the majors was exhausted. He was through with baseball and went to work at Cannon Mills in his hometown. “When I was done with something, I was done with it,” Scercy said. Scercy didn’t marry until he was 60. He lives now with his wife on the outskirts of Salisbury. They’ll celebrate
his 74th birthday next month. Scercy doesn’t dwell on his glory days. His wife had no clue she’d married a legend until she noticed how many people recognized him when they went out. Scercy lost a leg three years ago, but he feels blessed. He survived a burst aneurysm and a harrowing helicopter ride to Charlotte’s Carolinas Medical Center. Doctors told his wife he had a 10 percent chance of survival, but he’s still here. “I fooled ’em all,” he said. “It’s better to be lucky than good.” Scercy kept no scrapbooks or awards, just his high school annuals. He does own one large, thick, slightly bent photo from his football days. He’s wearing No. 56 and plowing through Winecoff tacklers. It’s the same photo that once hung on the wall between Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin.

The Wonders won 14-12. The difference? The two extra points Scercy booted. Scercy made the 1955 Shrine Bowl squad, but he and Drye watched a lot. “Our coach (Bob Jamieson) was from Greensboro and played the bigschool boys,” Scercy said. “It was still a good experience.” It was also his last football game. “I had a lot of college offers,” Scercy said. “But I wasn’t too interested in school. I wish I had been.” Clyde Kluttz signed Scercy to a baseball contract with the Kansas City Athletics. He was 19 when they sent him to Grand Island, Neb., to play Class D ball. His teammates included Virgil Bernhardt, the catcher on Salisbury’s 1955 Legion team that made the World Series. A powerful, left-handed batter, Scercy hit .351 for Grand Island with 10 homers in 59 games and was confident he could make it. “I gave myself four years

Scercy scored four TDs and kicked seven PATs. The Landis game Scercy’s senior year, Brown trailed 13-0 at halftime. Scercy scored three TDs in a thirdquarter flurry to lead a rally. Scercy’s sharpest memories are of games against China Grove, maybe because he enjoyed competing against Drye so much. His junior year, Scercy beat the Red Devils with an 88-yard gallop and 60-yard punt return. His senior year, the Wonders ran into an inspired China Grove team, which rushed for 371 yards and controlled the line of scrimmage. But Scercy frustrated his rivals again. He ran back a kickoff for Brown’s first score. Then, with the Wonders trailing 12-7 and time running out, he returned a punt 90 yards to break hearts all over China Grove. “I was told the punter was supposed to kick it anywhere except to me,” Scercy said. “That was my best game.”

Scercy played right field for the state champs, holding his own with future NFL star Billy Ray Barnes and future big-leaguer Ron Blackburn. “I went to that Legion tryout barefooted,” Scercy said. “When I made it, my sister bought me some shoes.” SCERCY In football, Scercy burst on the scene as a sophomore. Ed Edmiston and Hamrick were Brown’s coaches. Scercy’s breakout came in the third game of the 1953 season, Sept. 18, at Statesville. It was scoreless at halftime. The fullback in a T-formation attack, Scercy broke a 60-yard TD on the first snap of the second half for his initial high school score. He added a 45-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Brown won 12-0. Brown was 23-5 on the football field during Scercy’s three seasons, with three losses to coach Toby Webb’s single-wing machine at Albemarle. “Albemarle was always the first game of the year, and they always beat us,” Scercy said. “They had a great player in Wade Smith.” No one beat Albemarle in those days, although Scercy took his best shot. In 1955, Brown lost 25-24 to the Bulldogs. Scercy scored all four of Brown’s touchdowns. Scercy kicked off, kicked extra points and returned kickoffs and punts. On defense, he played safety and crushed people. There was a 1955 game against Winecoff in which
PITTSBURGH — Jacory Harris led quick touchdown drives to start each half and No. 19 Miami dominated Pittsburgh much like it did when the schools were Big East rivals, winning 31-3 on Thursday. Harris had two more floater-type interceptions like the four he threw in the Hurricanes’ 28-14 loss to No. 2 Ohio State two weeks ago, but he shook them off to throw for two scores and 248 yards while going 21 of 32. Damien Berry did the rest by running for 87 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in an offense that outgained Pitt’s 348-232. The Hurricanes (2-1) never gave Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri any time to throw in his third college start, and he was pulled in the fourth quarter after completing 8 of 15 passes for 61 yards. Dion Lewis, the nation’s leading returning rusher, was limited to 41 yards on 12 carries. VIRGINIA TECH BLACKSBURG, Va. — The hamstring injury that knocked Ryan Williams out against East Carolina will keep him on the sidelines Saturday against Boston College. VIRGINIA CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Defensive coordinator Jim Reid is expecting an emotional afternoon Saturday when his team plays VMI, the team he coached three years ago. Reid was the Keydets’ head coach in 2006 and 2007 before he left to join the Miami Dolphins staff. If not for that NFL opportunity, he says, he’d probably still be at VMI. SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA, S.C. — Linebacker Shaq Wilson (hamstring) is expected to play when the Gamecocks face Auburn on Saturday.

Despite the weather, garden questions continue any people are still waiting for rain and cooler weather, but Cooperative Extension is still receiving a number of homeowner questions despite the heat and current drought. With hoped-for cooler weather ahead, many want to get a jump on yard work and other outdoor chores. Below are a few questions that you may have pondered. Q: My shrubs DARRELL have grown a bit BLACKWELDER over the past few months. Can I prune them now? A: Yes, light, judicious pruning can occur all during the year, but avoid pruning spring flowering shrubs such as azaleas and rhododendron. If you prune them now, you will eliminate many of your flowers. Prune those shrubs in the spring after bloom. Maples should

It depends much on the weather ahead and condi- Japanese beetles tion of the weed. year. Bermuda grass needs optimum growing conditions before herbicides like glyphosate (Roundup) will work. That means plenty of water and hot weather (95+ degrees). We’ve had plenty of hot weather, but no rain. You may need to irrigate the Bermuda grass to obtain a good kill. Also, when temperatures reach the 60s in the day, Bermuda grass will be difficult to kill. There may be a few days ahead that are warm enough for herbicide to
work, but weather these days is extremely hard to predict. Q: Where are all the Japanese beetles? I have not seen one have been scarce this Japanese beetle this summer. A: Japanese beetles lay eggs after they emerge in late May and June. However, in extremely dry weather, many eggs and larvae perish. Evidently, the weather last summer was not conducive for Japanese beetle eggs or larvae in our location. They are also cyclic, meaning populations can be higher some seasons than others. They will be back. Q: What is the best fescue blend for this area? There are so many different types, it can be confusing.
A: N.C. State University participates in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program which includes fescue. The trial was planted in October 2006 and contains 113 varieties of tall fescue. Monthly data collection on these varieties began during the establishment period and will continue through 2011. Below is a link that lists the fescue cultivars recommended for our area — http://www.turffiles.ncsu. edu/articles/tf00904.aspx Q: Why are the chrysanthemums not blooming this fall? A: The excessive heat has delayed bloom. Once the cooler weather returns, the plants will bloom.

Kitchen design mirrors century of change BY SUSAN ZEVON Associated Press
NEW YORK — The kitchen, once tucked away in the basement or a back annex, became a laboratory of modern design in the 20th century. It became a showcase for consumer culture and a symbol of changing gender roles. The changing kitchen is the focus of an exhibit that opened this month at the Museum of Modern Art called “Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen.” It comprises almost 300 works, all from the museum’s collection, including design objects, architectural plans, posters, photographs, archival films, prints and paintings. The inspiration was the acquisition last year of the “Frankfurt Kitchen,” on view for the first time at the Modern. Designed by German modernist architect Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky from 1926-1927, it was one of about 10,000 kitchens built as part of an affordable housing initiative in Frankfurt after World War I. The Frankfurt Kitchen exemplifies the early 20th century belief in the transformative power of design, particularly as a way to transform the lives of working people. Compact and ergonomic, it integrated appliances, work and storage space in a new
way. “The design embodies the concerns of the modern movement: efficiency, hygiene, standardization and social concerns,” says the show’s curator, Juliet Kinchin. It also is the museum’s earliest work by a woman architect. Another example of standardization on display: the brown paper bag. The flat-bottomed paper grocery bag was developed by Charles Stillwell for the Union Paper Bag Machine Company in Philadelphia, and was first patented in the United States in 1883. The show also features a lithograph from Frank Lloyd Wright’s “American System-Built Houses,” a folio in which he illustrated different ways to configure factory-produced, standardized building components. After World War II, a burgeoning consumer culture in the United States was fed by corporations that capitalized on wartime research into new materials and technologies. Kitchen products such as the Tupper Corporation’s nesting refrigerator bowls and the Chemex Coffee Maker were symbols of an economic boom that contrasted with the postwar deprivations in Europe. Photographs of the 1959 “Kitchen Debate” between President Nixon and Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev exemplify the political implications of the sleek, 20th century American kitchen. In the 1950s, kitchens were still considered the domain of women, but there was interest in making the work easier. An article on display titled “New Kitchen Built to Fit Your Wife” (Popular Science, September 1953) describes a test kitchen developed at Cornell University’s Housing Research Center in 1952 to ease work based on time-motion studies. The reemergence of European design during the 1960s and ’70s is highlighted by “Spazio Viva,” a hinged, mobile kitchen on castors that incorporates a stove, small refrigerator, pullout cutting board and storage space. It was designed in 1968 by Virgilio Forchiassin for the Italian company Snaidero, and is “a kind of Frankfurt Kitchen for a younger, more affluent generation. And you can take it with you when you move,” Kinchin says. The “Counter Space” exhibit ends with examples of how contemporary artists have used the kitchen as a backdrop for statements about gender, economics and politics. Those include Cindy Sherman’s film stills with groceries in a kitchen, William Eggleston’s photographs of the inside of an oven and

vivacious and so lonely at the same time,” Simmons has said. “Counter Space” runs through March 14. Online: www.moma.org/visit/ca lendar/exhibitions/1062
A plug of soil from core aeration of the lawn.
Loosen up the lawn by aerating BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post
Soil compaction is often overlooked as part of routine lawn maintenance, especially in clay soils. The top 4 inches of the soil becomes compressed from years of mowing or from heavy equipment during new construction. Compaction impedes the movement of air, water and nutrients to the turf’s root system. Lack of proper nutrients causes grass to become stressed, allowing weeds, among other problems, to successfully compete with cool season fescue lawns. Core aeration is the primary method of reducing compaction of established lawns. Core aeration involves a machine or tool that removes a small tube of soil, leaving a hole approximately 4 inches deep. Research has proven that core aeration has many benefits, which include: • Loosening compacted soil and increasing the availability of water and nutrients. • Enhancing oxygen levels in the soil and stimulating root growth. • Reducing water runoff. • Increasing the lawn’s drought tolerance and improving its overall health. Cool-season grasses, fescue and fescue/bluegrass blends should be core-aerated in the fall, when there is less heat stress and danger of invasion by weedy annuals. Core aeration is not recommended in the spring. It can actually damage fallseeded lawns and provide a perfect seed bed for crabgrass and other spring germinating weeds. Avoid aerating in an overly wet soil. The task becomes messy and could lead to further compaction. If the soil sticks to your shoes, you should wait until it dries. Most lawns in Rowan County require a pull type or power-driven core aerator; either one can be rented at local tool rental centers. The working parts of these machines have hollow tubes penetrating the soil and pulling out ¾-inch tubes of soil. As the rows of tubes on the machine are driven into the lawn, hundreds of soil cores are removed from the ground and strewn across the lawn. These tools produce quite a few holes 4 inches apart in an effort to improve the appearance and density of the turf stand. It looks like a giant mess, but soil cores quickly melt with fall rains. You can rake them into the grass if their unsightly appearance bothers you. Go over the lawn twice, once in one direction, and then in a perpendicular direction for best results. Never use a solid corespiking tool. Pull-behind spikers punch holes into the soil, increasing compaction. One of the greatest benefits of core aeration is aiding fertilization and over-seeding in the fall, especially on established lawns with sparse or bare areas. When reseeding an area, repeat the coring process six to 10 passes over the area to increase the number of holes for seed penetration. Seed and fertilizer can be applied at the same time after aeration.

Kitazawa Seed Company (www.kitazawaseed.com/) in Oakland, Calif., is an old, established company. It offers an excellent selection of Asian greens with many different varieties.

Many brassicas and other similar greens, such as bok choy, pak choi, choy sum, oriental mustard greens and dozens of others, come from Asia and are little known to Americans. These likely came into cultivation as important, vitamin-rich foods to enhance a sparse winter diet. With seed so affordable, it’s easy to plant your own experimental side yard to begin learning how each one grows. Because greens depend on the stem and leaves to be productive, their nutritional requirements include a healthy dose of nitrogen. Soil enriched with nitrogen from manure, compost and other organic fertilizers stimulate large leafy plants. Prepare soil with any or all of these additives to stimulate fast growth while temperatures are warm. Strive to have plants well established by the time frost rolls around. To get started with Asian

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Hendersonville High School auditorium has been named after country star Taylor Swift. According to WSMV-TV, the Sumner County School Board voted unanimously this week on the auditorium’s new name. Swift, a former student at the school, donated $75,000 last year to refurbish the auditorium’s sound and lighting systems. The school said it’s an appropriate way to thank Swift for her generosity and kindness. She is the reigning Country Music Association entertainer of the year.

Those narrow slots between building and fence are routinely neglected. This year, take a fresh look at how productive these sideyard spaces can be at your home. The key to the side-yard garden is to understand what grows best in limited light. A general rule of thumb is to avoid those veggies that are grown for flowers and fruit, for these are dependent on plenty of sun. Instead, look to those plants that offer edible foliage and roots because these will be more adaptable to less-than-ideal conditions. They are the best choices for the transitional seasons of spring and fall. With some protection in the winter, they may even continue far longer, offering fresh, vitamin-rich organic fare to soups and stews. Among the “greens,� those known as pot greens are the most adaptable and long-lived. Pot greens are cooked and eaten warm, often with noodles. These offer an exotic world of new flavors and textures to healthy winter meals. In the West, pot greens are dominated by the brassicas, which are all relatives of broccoli and cabbage. They are often planted at summer’s end to germinate in the still-warm soil and mature into winter. They will not flower so long as days are short, making them productive throughout the offseason. The brassica known as kale actually grows sweeter when exposed to frost.

High-stakes birthday drives mom crazy And try to have fun. Dear Amy: One of my neighbors is driving me nuts. She lives across the street from me. I am a widow and this neighbor (who is married) tells me she worries about me. She rings my bell in the afternoon and calls me repeatedly on the phone (three times last Sunday). I appreciate her attention, but not on a daily basis. If I go to the mailbox she is there and we might talk for 10 to 15 minutes. On a typical day, I sit with my blinds closed, trying to make it look like I am not home. I am tired of this and really don’t know what to do. I would still like to be on a somewhat friendly basis but I don’t want her showing up to check on me. This past weekend I went out with a friend. When I came home, I had three messages from her. Now I try to screen the calls and not answer them. Do you have any suggestions? — Exhausted Dear Exhausted: Because your neighbor doesn’t read your cues, you’ll have to be explicit in drawing boundaries around your contact.

Dear Amy: Birthdays were very important in my family growing up, and we always celebrated with organized birthday parties. My husband has always known I think these big events are very important. It is now time for our first child to turn one. My husband has been having some serious health issues, and planning the party for our son has been a bright spot for ASK me. AMY His parents are also aware of how important this party is to me. I even had a heart-to-heart talk with his mom about how upset and disappointed I was when my own father initially said that he would not be coming because he did not want to buy a plane ticket. I told her that I expected him to say, “I wouldn’t miss my grandson’s birthday for anything� and was really disappointed when his reaction was so different. My husband just informed me that his parents are skipping the party because they are tired from coming here so much due to my husband’s illness. I am really disappointed. I know that my son will not know, but it was important to me to have our immediate families in attendance, and I am really hurt because his folks know exactly how I feel. I feel that they are being inconsiderate. I am also hurt by my husband, who immediately agreed with his parents’ choice. I am very disappointed by their decision. My husband says that I am being totally crazy and completely overreacting. Am I? — Disappointed Dear Disappointed: I agree with your husband. You are behaving like a crazy “Momzilla.� You’re completely overreacting. I’m exhausted just reading your letter. Your in-laws might be reacting to the stress you’ve heaped on them over this. Stating your expectations is one thing. Stating your disappointment is another. Completely freaking out and hyping this event into the stratosphere makes me worry about the high stakes you will place on your child to fulfill your expectations once he’s old enough to make his own wishes known. Lighten up. Handle your disappointment like a big girl.

In search of the 5-minute bread recipe
Dear Mary: I am 60 years old, and I plan to retire in five or six years. I had to file for bankruptcy this year because of three layoffs, which forced me to live off my credit cards after my savings were depleted and my home was foreclosed on. Now I am renting a condo. My credit is ruined, but I still have an income. I bring home $1,200 every two weeks. When I retire, I will receive a pension of $350. I
Dear Linda: You don’t mention Social Security, so I am going to assume that you will qualify for Social Security benefits, in addition to that small $350 monthly pension, once you reach the full retirement age of 66. Here’s the problem I see: You could easily live for 30 years in retirement. Based on the limited information you've shared, I do not see how you would survive if you were to retire in five or six years, even with Social Security. If you can, you should work until age 70. Then you would qualify for the maximum Social Security benefit. This also would give you a full 10 years to contribute to your 401(k) plan. Begin living more frugally than you ever dreamed possible right now so you can contribute the maximum to your 401(k) account. It is imperative that you avoid using credit. You cannot afford to fall back into debt. If you were to contribute $300 pretax each month for the next 10 years and see modest growth of 5 percent annually, you would accumulate another $47,000 in your retirement account by age 70. It's not great, but it’s better than what you are looking at right now. If the U.S. economy were to come roaring back, you would do even better. Do you have a question for
Easy egg substitutes You might need to substitute eggs in your baking. Maybe you’re out of them, are changing your diet or a family member has an allergy. There are quite a few substitutions available, but you shouldn’t attempt to replace more than two eggs in a recipe. For example, you can substitute 1 banana for 1 egg, 1/4 cup soy yogurt for 1 egg or 1 tablespoon m i l l e d flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water for 1 egg in quick b r e a d s , muffins and cakes. The first reader tip shares one, SARA too. NOEL
brands, though, because they use other preservatives that could make the protein on your lenses build up faster. A note to all contact-lens wearers: If your lenses are the throwaway kind, be diligent about replacing them every four to five weeks. Stretching out the life of your contacts at the expense of your eye health is not a good frugal strategy! — Jessa B.,
Egg Substitute: I never use eggs when baking. I use 1 tablespoon soy flour plus 1 tablespoon water in place of each egg called for by the recipe. — Kim,
Florida
Milk jug reuse: I use milk jugs to slowly water my plants when I’ll be gone for more than a few days. Prick pinholes (just a few) in the bottom toward one side of the jug, fill with water and set the jug in the dirt beside your plant (outside or inside) that you want to be watered slowly. Make sure the pinprick hole is near the stem. — Catherine H., e-mail
Reuse Aluminum Foil: I used to fold up the foil and put it in the drawer, but I always forgot to use it, and it just collected there. Now I fold the piece up and put it back in the box with the roll of foil, so when I go for a new piece, it’s the first thing I see, and I usually end up using it. Another tip: This is about grocery store shelves. Don’t assume that something on an end display is on sale! People associate these areas with good deals, so stores will sometimes put higher-priced items on the end displays to encourage people to buy them. Most shoppers will just take the one off the end and not bother to walk down the aisle and compare the price to other brands. — Carla, Canada
On contact solution: WalMart’s Equate brand uses the exact same “recipe” as some of the name brands, like ReNu, and is sold relatively cheap. Be careful with store

Sunburn remedy: I’ve used vinegar. It works well. You just smell like a salad! Another one that really works is strong, cold tea. Apply with cotton balls, or save the tea bags and use those. This also works well in a barely warm bath.

Dear Deb: I’m certain you are referring to the master recipe from the book “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day,” by J e f f Hertzberg, M.D., and Zoe Francois. The method described in MARY their book, HUNT complete with very precise instructions and recipes for what to do with the dough beyond just basic daily bread, is revolutionary. Basically, you make a batch of dough, store it in the refrigerator and pull out a big wad to bake whenever you want fresh, homemade bread. I am going to refer you to Jeff and Zoe’s blog, at www.ArtisanBreadInFive.com. You will find the recipe there, as well as lots of helpful discussion with Jeff, Zoe and other home bread-makers.
also have a small 401(k) account through the company that currently employs me, to which I contribute $100 a month. What is the best strategy going forward, seeing as I don’t owe anything? Should I contribute more to my 401(k), or should I send extra cash to a regular savings account? — Linda,

Dear Mary: I love reading “Everyday Cheapskate.” I thought I had saved the article that you wrote about the bread dough that you make and refrigerate so that you can bake daily. Now I can't find it. Where can I get the recipe for that dough? — Deb D.,

Sarcoidosis treatment: watch and wait Dear Dr. Gott: I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after many bone-marrow tests, blood work, X-rays, pet scans and finally by removal of my spleen, which was greatly enlarged and filled with nodules. I requested a second opinion on the diagnosis, and the second doctor agreed with the first. It is inactive but in my lungs, and he tells me the normal treatment is 60 milligrams of prednisone daily for up to two years to reduce the scarring and inflammation. But, with that high dose, it will cause other major DR. PETER problems. GOTT I am white, in my late 50s and have multiple other problems — asthma, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, rosacea, borderline high cholesterol, osteoarthritis and low oxygen at night that isn’t sleep apnea. I’ve had a detatched retina that is now a buckle and a cyst on the retina in my other eye. Thus, my doctor chooses to watch rather than treat at this stage. Do you have other information that I might find useful? Dear Reader: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disorder that can affect any organ in the body. It is marked by small, round bumps in the tissue around the affected organs to include the lungs, spleen, mucus membranes, salivary glands, lymph nodes and skin. Less common are

the eyes and liver that can also be affected. The lesions can disappear after a period of months or years but can lead to widespread swelling and fibrosis. Symptoms may include a persistent cough, weight loss, arthritic pain in the joints, shortness of breath and fatigue. While the exact cause of the disease is unknown, it appears linked to the immune system overreacting to an unknown pathogen, toxin or drug that enters the body through inhaling. Genetic factors also play a role, as do race and age. Our immune systems are structured to fight bacteria and viruses that enter the body, allowing us to remain healthy. With sarcoidosis patients, the white blood cells respond too strongly to bacteria and viruses, triggering small but specific areas of inflammation known as granulomas. With progression of the disease, those granulomas can damage healthy tissue and cause scarring. Diagnosis can be made by visual examination of the lesions, enlarged lymph nodes and redness of the eyes. A chest X-ray will be abnormal, laboratory testing will likely reveal higher-than-normal blood-calcium levels, and pulmonary-function testing will reveal lung changes. Beyond that, there are numerous other tests available for confirmation, if necessary. Some people do not need any treatment at all. When symptoms are present, treatment will vary depending on which organs are affected. Anti-inflammatory drugs
known as corticosteroids are commonly prescribed. When a patient cannot tolerate steroid treatment, other options, such as methotrexate, azathioprine or hydroxychloroquine, may help. While you may never recover completely, there are steps you can take to lessen symptoms. If your physician prescribes medication, be sure to take it according to the recommendations. Abstain completely from smoking, and avoid as many other irritants as possible, such as air pollution and dust. Last but not least, consider joining a support group.

Some new developments are indicated involving your social life in the year ahead. Either several new people you’ll meet or some folks you now think of as merely being casual acquaintances could turn into your closest friends. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Let that wonderful spirit of cooperation and fairness you naturally possess be pronounced in all that you do, and you’ll easily find harmony in your dealings. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’re in an especially good cycle for beginning something that normally might be difficult, such as going on a diet or starting an exercise program. Don’t waste this point in time. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Contact that impressive person you recently met whom you would like to know better, and suggest doing something interesting together. That person is equally eager to cozy up to you, too. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t start anything that you might have difficulty in completing, because if you can make this a day of achievement, you should be able to clear yourself of having any near-misses. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you’re able to make a choice between assignments that are of a mental or physical nature, choose the former. Your cranial attributes are likely to be working a bit better than your muscles. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Making due with what you have will give your bank account the rest it deserves. Engage in activities that don’t cost you anything, such as visiting family or a good friend. Aries (March 21-April 19) — You’ll never fit comfortably in a subservient role, so don’t let a bossy type try to maneuver you into one. Unless you call your own shots, you’ll end up being miserable. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — In order to protect yourself from having to take a position on something you know little about, keep a low profile and don’t do anything to call attention to yourself until you’ve got the deets. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Because your attitude tends to be influenced by your colleagues, mingle only with friends who have a positive outlook on life. Avoid the bigmouths and bores. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It might be far nicer to coast, but it isn’t likely to get you anywhere. Challenge yourself a bit and put forth some effort to accomplish something you’ve been putting off. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A healthy curiosity can prove to be a big asset, so don’t hesitate to ask some questions about anything that might interest you. You could learn something that’ll be of great value. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An associate might have something of great interest to offer that could be of benefit to someone who knows how to promote it. If you know such a person, offer to make the introduction. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.

Wrong contract but right play BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Bob Hope said, “Bigamy: The only crime where two rites make a wrong.” In today’s deal, NorthSouth reached the wrong contract, but the right defense was still needed to defeat it. South was in five clubs. West led the heart nine. Declarer won with dummy’s king, played a spade to his ace, then ran the club nine to East’s ace. What did East do next? After North opened one diamond, East thought about making a takeout double. But he knew that if his partner advanced in clubs, they would surely be in the wrong strain. So he sensibly overcalled in his five-card major. South responded two clubs, which he might have done with only nine or 10 points in
competition. Now North jumped to three spades. Because two spades would have been natural and forcing, three spades was a splinter bid, showing four-card club support, game-going values, and a singleton (or void) in spades. South, with no heart stopper, jumped to five clubs. To be honest, it is tough to get to three no-trump. When East won the third trick with his singleton trump ace, there was only one lead to defeat the contract. He had to choose the heart queen. This locked declarer in the dummy, unable to take another club finesse. South called for a low diamond, but East won with his ace and led another heart, allowing West to
score his club queen. Finally, note that to make the contract, South had to lead a low club from the dummy at trick two, bringing down East’s ace. But who would find that?
