Costly drugs spur debate Cancer therapies hit $100,000 a year BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press

Sapp wakes up every morning anticipating the day’s work with excitement. “I love my job, the families we help, the board members. Every day is different, and that’s what keeps me going,” she said. Former board president Ann Medlin said she remembers sending an e-mail and receiving a response from Sapp even though she was out of town. Sapp worked with Medlin’s daughter, who has a disability and received services from the Arc. Sapp said she considers herself a very quiet, shy, reserved person. Medlin said she is some of those things, but she is also “very optimistic, she’s very gung-ho, working and following through. She’s amazing.” Sapp inspires confidence in others, Medlin said. Sapp is inspired by the families she works with and the hugs she receives from clients. During her first summer van transportation route, she re-

BOSTON — Cancer patients, brace yourselves. Many new drug treatments cost nearly $100,000 a year, sparking fresh debate about how much a few months more of life is worth. The latest is Provenge, a first-of-a-kind therapy approved in April. It costs $93,000 a year and adds four months’ survival, on average, for men with incurable prostate tumors. Bob Svensson is honest about why he got it: insurance paid. “I would not spend that money,” because the benefit doesn’t seem worth it, says Svensson, 80, a former corporate finance officer from Bedford, Mass. His supplemental Medicare plan is paying while the government decides whether basic Medicare will cover Provenge and for whom. The tab for taxpayers could be huge — prostate is the most common cancer in American men. Most of those who have it will be eligible for Medicare, and Provenge will be an option for many latestage cases. A meeting to consider Medicare coverage is set for Nov. 17. “I don’t know how they’re going to deal with that kind of issue,” said Svensson, who was treated at the Lahey Clinic Medical Center in suburban Boston. “I feel very lucky.” For the last decade, new cancer-fighting drugs have been topping $5,000 a month. Only a few of these keep cancer in remission so long that they are, in effect, cures. For most people, the drugs may buy a few months or years. Insurers usually pay if Medicare pays. But some people have lifetime caps and more people are uninsured because of job layoffs in the recession. The nation’s new health care law eliminates these lifetime limits for plans that were issued or renewed on Sept. 23 or later. Celgene Corp.’s Revlimid pill for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, can run as much as $10,000 a month; so can Genentech’s Avastin for certain cancers. Now Dendreon Corp.’s Provenge rockets price into a new orbit. Unlike drugs that people can try for a month or two and keep using only if they keep responding, Provenge is an all-ornothing $93,000 gamble. It’s a one-time treatment to train the immune system to fight prostate tumors, the first so-called cancer vaccine. Part of why it costs so much is that it’s not a pill cranked out in a lab, but a treatment that is individually prepared, using each patient’s cells and a protein found on most prostate cancer cells. It is expensive and time-consuming to make. It’s also in short supply, forcing the first

Shela Sapp enjoys a round of Frisbee golf with David ‘Davey’ Rhodes. Sapp, assistant director/financial manager for the Arc of Rowan, recently was honored with an Unsung Hero award from the Arc of N.C.

A ‘behind-the-scenes’ hero Shela Sapp brings passion, compassion to Arc of Rowan job BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

ometimes Shela Sapp mows the lawn at work and at other times she’s crunching numbers, writing grants or meeting with clients’ families who receive services from the Arc of Rowan County. Sapp is the assistant director/financial manager for the agency and in the early days was its bookkeeper, administrative assistant and drove the transport van. Her current role is vast and includes involvement with the Rowan County United Way, the Rowan-Salisbury School System, coordinating an annual summer fishing trip and helping organize the Festival of Trees, the Arc’s major fundraiser. “I’m a behind-the-scenes kind of person,” Sapp said. Sapp’s behind-the-scenes work was recently brought to light. She was honored at a state convention with the Unsung Hero award, a recognition typically given to executive directors. The award is given when

the Arc of N.C. wants to recognize an employee of a smaller chapter whose advocacy efforts have affected the local community and people with disabilities. During the state convention of the Arc of N.C., the local agency was recognized as one of the 2010 Distinguished Affiliates. There are 32 chapters of the Arc in this state, and this year, 12 chapters received this recognition. It was during the convention that Sapp was surprised with the honor. Sapp was so surprised she didn’t know the award was for her. “I had no clue. I thought it was for Jane,” Sapp said. Sapp was told to make certain Executive Director Jane Jackman stayed for the entire convention and had no idea the award was being presented to her until talk turned to the recipient being an assistant director who had worked for a chap-

ter for 19 years. “They got me,” Sapp said. She was “shocked and taken aback,” she said. “It meant a lot,” Sapp said. She admits she “lost it,” crying while the presenter read an excerpt of a letter from a supporter. The supporter said Rowan County was fortunate to have Sapp. “The only thing that exceeds her passion is her compassion for everyone she works with. Any encounter with Shela leaves you a richer person,” the supporter wrote. Other letters came from the school system, chapter staff, board members, families, PBH (formerly Piedmont Behavioral Health) and Meals on Wheels. Jackman said she’d nominated Sapp for the Professional of Year award, and the selection committee informed her they thought “this nomination was so strong” so Sapp’s name was submitted for the Unsung Hero award. “The growth of the agency is directly related to Shela’s effort,” Jackman said.

Sheriff candidates are veteran lawmen, longtime friends BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Rowan County sheriff candidates Kevin Auten and John Noble have a bit of a history —not only are they great friends, but they have spent 23 years together working for the Sheriff’s Office. They have similar ideas and a common goal to serve and protect the people of Rowan County. Auten was appointed acting sheriff upon the resignation of George Wilhelm. The role of sheriff, he said, came sooner than he had anticipated, and he decided to run.

“It was a career goal when I started that I wanted to be sheriff one day,” said Auten, who has been with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office for 23 years.

Auten began in 1987 and served as detention officer, bailiff, patrol deputy, civil division, detective division, was the criminal captain and chief deputy. He says his recent experience in the Sheriff’s Office gives him an edge over Noble. “I come from a more modern day, with on-the-job experience,” he said. “John obviously has quite a few more years of experience, but I think mine is more relative to the times. “The electronic age has really changed the way things are done.”

has with state and federal agencies is “paramount” in drug investigations. Noble said his 30 years of experience with the Sheriff’s Office, and knowledge of Rowan County, gives him an edge. “Kevin is a fine, outstanding officer, and we are very good friends,” Noble said. “But, as he said election night, me compared to him is like he’s a rookie compared to me. “With my knowledge about how the department’s run, and what I know about the sheriff’s department and the county, I feel like I might have an

edge over him as far as law enforcement is concerned.” Noble said he’s a little worried that voters will pass over his name on the ballot not only because voters are dissatisfied with Washington, but because Auten has been the acting sheriff for some time now. “He’s already in place, and he’s running the department,” Noble said. “It’s going to be challenging to get voters to see my qualities over what’s already in place. “There are some fine officers in that department —

Cheryl Reavis was going through some Reavis family photos her husband inherited and she found this black-and-white glossy print from the Salisbury Post. Her late sister-in-law, Rachel Reavis, worked for Bell Telephone, beginning her longtime employment there as a telephone operator in the 1940s. “Our best guess is that this is a photo taken at some celebratory event involving Bell Telephone employees,” Cheryl says. “You can see what looks like a wrapped gift on the counter near one of the big fans. They are obviously in some kind of eating establishment, and the shape of the windows behind them suggests that it might have been held at the cafe with the black marble facade near Bernhardt's Hardware.” Rachel Reavis is wearing a print dress and sitting in the middle of the long table on the right. “We have no idea who any of the rest of them are,” Cheryl adds. “Whoever they are, they were very pretty ladies.” Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@salisburypost.com, if you have something for “Yesterday.”

Proper exercise shoes are a key step Q: I want to buy good running shoes. Any suggestions? A: One thing I really pay attention to, and probably have spent most of my money on, is running shoes. Or exercise shoes period! When your feet hurt, there is very little you can do ... and with everything you do, you are reminded of the pain. Lots of people look at big savings and buy shoes that are on sale or are very cheap at a store (which can work fine with the right “tips” I will give you in a minute). ESTER They try them on, and figure they will “break them MARSH in.” Personally, I don’t believe in breaking in your shoes; they should fit right from the get-go! People ask me which brand they should buy. It depends on what fits your foot well, I seem to do very well with Asics. My husband has good luck with Saucony and New Balance. One thing I started about a year and a half ago is to buy a special insert for my running/exercise shoes. When you take out the insole which comes with your shoes, it is mostly a flimsy insole that can’t give you the support you need. The inserts I bought were Lynco sports orthotics. A lot of my wonderful staff already were using them and were really noticing a positive difference. Any store that sells them will put your feet on a pad so the computer can see which one you need. Our local shoe store, Ralph Baker shoes, has them, including the

Besides a good show, you might want to check into orthotics, too, if you have ‘problem’ feet or knees. computer. I have had really enjoyed the Lynco Sports Orthotics and they now have worn out. I feel that my feet are very important, especially since I love to run, so I called Ralph Baker shoes and he fitted me for orthotics especially made for my feet! Can’t wait to try them out and give you a report on them. (They are supposed to be even better than the Lynco orthotics!) Many avid runners have orthotics they use to help them with their love of running. So, besides a good shoe, you might want to check into orthotics, too, if you have “problem” feet or knees. The following five tips can help you buy the perfect shoe for you: • Try on shoes later in the day, not in the morning. As the day progresses our feet enlarge due to gravity pulling fluid from our body to its lowest point, our feet; • Get both feet measured each time you get new shoes. Usually one foot will be slightly larger than the other and you need to get the size to accommodate the larger foot. Foot size can change over time. As we age, the ligaments holding our arches up can stretch, leading to a larger, flatter foot. • Make sure the forefoot flexes in the right place. Some shoes do not flex where your foot

naturally flexes as you toe off. This will make the shoe feel overly stiff and make faster running more difficult, possibly leading to a calve muscle strain. • Bring any orthotics or shoe inserts that you use with you to put in the shoe. Orthotics or inserts are generally more built up than the insoles that come with shoes. An orthotic can make your shoe too tight so you may have to go up in size; some orthotics have a heel cup that is elevated; this can cause your heel to slip out of the back of the shoe. • Most importantly, get the proper shoe for your foot type. Overpronators (foot rolls inward) should have stability or motion control shoes; oversupinators (foot rolls outward) should have cushioned shoes. Normal foot mechanics can have cushioned or neutral shoes. When in doubt, ask for an assessment to see what foot type you have; foot types can change over time. The most common change is from a normal foot to an overpronator due to a collapsing of the arch in the foot. Don’t forget that going to a specialty shoe or running store with properly trained staff is as equally important in getting into the correct pair of shoes for your specific needs. I finally started taking care of my feet after bouts of stress fractures and plantar fasciitis so don’t take it lightly to buy the right kind of shoe for your feet with a specific purpose! Good luck! • • • Ester Marsh is associate executive and health and fitness director of the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA.

Nice doggy!

Distasteful memories of ’50s and ’60s medicines linger Who can forget milk of magnesia? hen I was growing up, even though Tylenol was relatively new on the market, we used aspirin, and a lot of us to whom it was administered (long before the warning of its administering to children) are still taking it now in a middle-aged effort to keep our arteries clean. I would like to recall some other medications given to me in the 1950s and ’60s. The one, which even just the thought of now makes me gag, was milk of magnesia. The other day at the Danville Science Center, I was taking a group of children through our butterfly garden. I told them that MACK WILLIAMS birds leave the monarch caterpillars alone because they eat the leaves of the milkweed plant, leaving a nasty taste in the birds’ mouths if they were to eat the monarch caterpillars, possibly giving them an upset stomach. The birds even leave the adult monarchs alone, because that nasty taste stays with them. When I broke off a milkweed leaf to illustrate the reason for the plant’s name, the bright white, milky liquid appeared from where the stem had been attached, dripping down the stalk, reminding me of those gagging tablespoons of milk of magnesia in my youth. The nasty taste of milkweed-eating caterpillars remains in the bird’s mind, as does the nasty taste of milk of magnesia in mine. Drinking milk of magnesia was just what I imagine drinking liquid chalk to be like. I think there are some gastric medical tests which require drinking chalk in a liquid suspension prior to taking X-rays. If ever instructed to have one of those tests and drink the chalk, I will probably say: “Let’s dispense with the liquid chalk, and instead of X-rays, use some of that really powerful, really interesting stuff created by a particle accelerator, which probably wouldn’t require drinking chalk to reveal things.” The effects of milk of magnesia could be likened to a politician who is referred to as a “mover” by his supporters. Pepto-Bismol was given in those days, as well as now, to solve the problems associated with an intestinal virus. Pepto-Bismol has the opposite effect of milk of magnesia. Another phrase, often used by politicians, themselves, can be used to illustrate the action of Pepto-Bismol, when they refer to “That which binds us together.” It’s interesting that that which is acted upon by both of these medicines can be tied to polititians. These days, Neosporin is the most often used medication for a cut. In my young days, Merthiolate was the medicine of choice. It could hardly be called much of a medication. It seemed like mostly alcohol with a little red coloring. I never understood why it was red, perhaps to camouflage the blood with something else which was red as well. Merthiolate was applied with a thin glass applicator instead of being squeezed from a tube. That glass applicator, with its red liquid, always reminded me of the thermometer on our front porch which had red liquid instead of silver-colored mercury. The thermometer was a courtesy from a Salisbury business, but I can’t recall which. All that I do remember is the business of that front porch thermometer, especially when the red liquid would stay around 32 degrees, especially on a cloudy winter evening preceeding a school day. Having pollen allergies, I remember the only medicine back then which would definitely dry up a running nose: Contac. Contac consisted of its encapsulated “tiny time pills” of different colors, supposedly the different colors having different dissolving rates, leading to a dry nose for as long as eight hours. Unlike the modern medicine, Claratin, Contac had side effects which were most noticeable. Drowsiness was warned of, but the degree of drowsiness made one feel as if he only wanted to recline all day, reminiscent of those scenes of opium dens in the Orient. Finally, I would like to discuss BandAids. When I was growing up, Band-Aids were plain and simple, serious about their purpose of combating the outside world of germs, and not providing a reference to the comics page. I think the first inroad into the serious mission of the Band-Aid was made by the popular prime time cartoon of that time, “The Flintstones,” at probably about the same time that this same cartoon made inroads into the similarly serious world of vitamins.

seeing how well each dog performed on a leash and responded to basic commands like “sit,” “down” and “stay.” The sound of a bottle full of rocks being shaken helped determine whether or not a dog gets frightened by sudden sounds. And owners were asked to walk out of sight to see whether or not their pooches would get anxious with a stranger holding the leash. Smith said this preliminary testing could help determine which pets might make good therapy dogs – the ones who visit nursing homes, hospitals and other facilities to provide companionship to patients. But Earnhardt said the main goal is for owners to know how their dogs are likely to react in a variety of situations. A dog who’s shy of loud noises, Earnhardt said, might need extra care during storms or when neighbors shoot off firecrackers. “The great thing about it was that people actually got out there and were responsible for their dogs,” she said. As is required by law, most dogs had their rabies vaccination tags on display. And children learned proper manners and safe habits around unfamiliar animals. “This shows that more people are taking the time to teach

their kids how to act around dogs,” Smith said. Hot weather brought the afternoon to an early close, and kept many dogs and their owners panting in the shade, Even so, Smith said the day was a success. Owner of her own private dog rescue business, Friends In Fur, since 2005, Smith said the event had helped many owners learn about available resources. “There’s a lot of different organizations that do training, fellowship and socialization with their dogs — just getting together as groups and getting out in the community,” she said. That way, she said, there’ll be fewer dogs abandoned or given to shelters where they might not survive. “We want dogs to be good citizens. We don’t want dogs who are going to be aggressive,” Smith said. Earnhardt agreed: the better-behaved the dog and the more responsible the owners, the better for everyone involved. Plans call for this to become an annual gathering, with feedback from participants already being used to make tentative plans for 2011. “We’ll have a lot bigger turnout next year,” she said – including, she hopes, twice as many vendors and rescue groups.

Elliott knows that, which is why he spearheaded the implementation of a Boy Scout troop at Livingstone College. “Boy Scouts of America is a wonderful organization that teaches leadership, integrity, survival skills and helps build character,” said Elliott, vice president of student affairs. “Leadership, integrity and good character are wonderful traits to have, and we all need to know how to survive. I am proud Livingstone College is able to offer a Boy Scout troop and am confident parents will

recognize the benefit in it and allow their sons to participate. Having a Boy Scout troop on campus is just another way the college is giving back to the community.” The Boy Scout troop had its inaugural meeting Sept.16 and is open to boys ages 11-17. Participants don’t have to reside in Salisbury or Rowan County, said Mandrake Miller, associate director of student activities. Livingstone College is working in conjunction with Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church in Salisbury, which has a Cub Scout troop for boys ages 7-10 and a Webelos troop for boys under age 7, Miller said. Miller will serve as scoutmaster and have 10 Livingstone College students assisting him as scout leaders. They are William Galloway, Johnny Hatcher, Bryant Lewis, Marcus Goodwin, Ramone Campbell, Hakeem Parker,

Jeremy Ratcliff, De’Andre Thompson, Antwone Ware and Tremaine Yarborough. “We’ve been working on this since June, and it really has been a steady progression,” Miller said. “We’re excited about offering a Boy Scout troop at Livingstone College because we recognize children are never too young to begin learning responsibility and how to become productive members of society. We know there are a lot of children living here in Salisbury and Rowan County who can benefit from even more guidance and direction than they get at home and in school, so we see our newly formed Boy Scout troop as a way to supplement that and as a way to continue the proud tradition we have here at Livingstone of being good public stewards. And who knows, several of the young men we connect with now just may enroll here and become Blue Bear students at

a later time.” Miller said he hopes the troop will attract many boys from the community, though college officials don’t have a targeted number in mind. “If 100 kids sign up that would be wonderful,” he said. “We have the people in place to make that happen in order to accommodate the needs of everyone.” Meetings will be held every Thursday at 4:30 p.m. inside The Bears Den, which is located in the bottom of Ballard Hall on campus. Dues are $16 annually. Boy Scouts of America has provided Livingstone with shirts for the scouts, and Miller said officials are trying to raise money to pay for the remainder of the uniforms. For more information about Livingstone College’s Boy Scout troop or to donate money for uniforms, please contact the college’s Office of Student Affairs at 704-216-6181.

Couple plays hide-and-seek with law enforcement

NC newspaper: Officials OK’d tax policy change

When deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office attempted to serve a warrant on a Rowan County woman, they ended up playing a Sunday afternoon game of hide and seek. According to authorities, deputies arBELL rived at 297 Dusty Farm Road to serve Stacy Nicole Bell, 34, with a warrant for failure to appear. The woman who answered the door was not EARLYWINE Bell, but allowed the officers to enter the home and look around. Deputies pulled back the curtain of a shower in the residence, but to their surprise, they found a male hiding. Authorities said Matthew William Earlywine, 28, also of the home, thought the deputies were there to serve him with the warrant. When he was asked about Bell, he told deputies he hadn’t seen her. But she was soon found in a closet, and Earlywine and Bell were both taken to jail. Earlywine was charged with resisting a public officer, and given a $1,500 secured bond. Bell received charges of failure to appear and resisting an officer, and was given a $3,000 secured bond.

RALEIGH (AP) — A new policy making it harder for North Carolina residents to get refunds after inadvertently overpaying their taxes had the approval of lawyers for Gov. Beverly Perdue and Attorney General Roy Cooper, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. A newly released document shows Perdue’s attorney and Cooper’s office approved the change in how the state handles overpayments, according to the newspaper. Cooper, Perdue’s chief legal counsel Eddie Speas and Revenue Department chief Kenneth Lay say they didn’t discuss the change with the governor. Typically, the state’s computer system flags overpayments within the three-year statute of limitations. Now the department says overpayments are not “discovered” until an employee reviews those returns. Taxpayers could be out of luck if that review doesn’t happen within three years. About 100 taxpayers have received refunds totaling $32,000 since the Revenue Department began an effort to reduce its backlog of 150,000 flagged returns, Lay said.

No fatalities in Saturday evening wreck; report still unavailable The Saturday evening wreck at the intersection of Bostian and Daugherty roads did not prove fatal to any of the four victims, the N.C. Highway Patrol said Sunday. The trooper handling the wreck was off Sunday, and the report was unavailable. The crash happened shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, and one person was flown to Carolinas Medical Center for unknown injuries. Three others were sent to area hospitals. Each vehicle had two occupants. One of the vehicles involved flipped upside down. Check www.salisburypost.com Monday for more information, or read Tuesday’s Post.

NC man helps family get out of burning house KANNAPOLIS (AP) — A Kannapolis man says he was just being a good neighbor when he alerted a family that their house was on fire and helped them get out of their burning home. WSOC-TV in Charlotte reported that Gerald Cunningham spotted the fire Sunday morning. Cunningham also ran to another neighbor’s house to warn them about the nearby fire and evacuate them as a safety precaution.

About 68,000 of those returns have been reviewed and 3,300 overpayments totaling nearly $1 million were found. The bulk of those overpayments, however, were more than three years old. Those refunds — about $917,000 — have been put on hold until legislators take action on the 2007 law covering the threeyear limit. “The governor says she would get a legislative change if that’s required, and it looks like that’s going to be required,” Lay said of the older refunds. Perdue and lawmakers have said they were unaware of the backlog of unprocessed returns and didn’t know about the policy change. Lay said it was not a set policy that required the department to refund old overpayments that had been flagged by the computer system. “What we had was inconsistent practice,” he said. Legislators say the 2007 law governing refunds was not intended to let revenue officials keep overpayments. “That’s an unintended consequence, and we would change it so quick your head will pop off your shoulders,” said Rep. Pryor Gibson, DWadesboro and House finance committee co-chairman. Revenue correspondence obtained by the News & Ob-

server through an open records request shows the practice of giving the money back despite the time limit was in place at least as far back as 1999. In a case from that year, the computer system had discovered the overpayment, but the return was not audited by a staffer until the statute of limitations had expired. “The overpayment was discovered at the time the payment was posted, and the system reflected an overpayment,” department supervisor Gregory Radford wrote in an e-mail message. “Can’t penalize the taxpayer for our workload.” After the number of returns and change in policy were reported, Perdue said she would see to it that the backlog was cleared by yearend and that everyone who overpaid would get their money back. But a report from Lay indicates the governor’s lawyers were told of the change months ago after an attorney general gave an opinion on the issue. “It is our understanding that this legal opinion was later shared with lawyers in the governor’s office, who agreed with the guidance offered,” Lay’s report said. “It is that guidance that has now become agency policy.”

After 16 years: another GOP legislative ‘contract’ RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republicans are hoping for a repeat of 1994 — and more — as they travel the state promoting 10 things they pledge to do if they win control of the General Assembly in the November elections. Sixteen years ago, dozens of GOP candidates signed an agreement similar to what congressional candidates penned that year with the “Contract with America.” The North Carolina “contract” was designed to persuade voters Republicans could be trusted to run the Legislature after nearly a century on the back rows. The GOP wound up taking over the state House and coming within two seats of controlling the Senate. This year’s Republican version of the contract — “100 Days that Will Change North Carolina” — lacks the novelty that came with the 1994 plan. It also came out a few weeks before congressional Republicans rolled out their own pledges. The “100 Days” plan is being unveiled at small gatherings, such as one at a barbecue restaurant in Rocky Mount last week. But GOP leaders believe it contrasts with what it calls a Democratic record of bloating spending and putting off tough choices so it can wrest control from both chambers for the first time in 112 years. Democrats “had exactly the wrong prescription for a bad recession,” House Minority Leader Paul Stam, R-

SALISBURY POST

AREA/OBITUARIES

Wake, said recently. “They decided the thing to do was promote government employment, raise spending and to do they had to raise tax rates a lot.” Democrats are taking the same approach to this year’s model as the party did in 1994 — calling the GOP the party of “no” and pointing to its own legislative record as a sensible one. They also say they’ve minimized job losses and preserved critical services during the recent recession. The Republican plan, current Speaker Joe Hackney says, is vapid and would decimate citizens if it was carried out. Republicans “have told us what they’re against,” said Hackney, D-Orange. “This election is not a referendum about whether times are hard or whether we need new jobs, it’s about who can move us ahead.” Both the 1994 and 2010 lists provide a similar mix of fiscal policies and issues important during each period to its GOP base. The 1994 contract included pledges to reduce income taxes by at least $200 million and pass a law that would limit state spending growth to the combined rates of population and inflation increases. GOP candidates also said they would reform the state welfare program and remove a cap on the number of prisoners in the state correction system. The contract also promised votes to put constitutional amendments on the statewide ballot that wold give the governor veto power and

place term limits on lawmakers. Since only the House became majority Republican after the 1994 elections, many items managed only to pass one chamber before Senate Democrats modified the GOP bills or ignored them completely. But taxes were cut, welfare programs were reformed and the governor got veto power. This year’s 10-point plan says the Republicans would balance the budget without raising taxes, despite an expected shortfall of at least $3 billion next fiscal year. Tax rates also would be reduced by an unidentified amount to make them more competitive with surrounding states. They also hit on hot-button issues — they would pass in the first 100 legislative days of 2011 laws exempting North Carolina residents from being forced to buy health insurance or face a fine as part of the federal health care changes and eliminating the 100-school cap on charter schools. A constitutional amendment making clear governments can’t condemn private property for solely for private economic development also is on the list. “We actually intend to change things,” Stam said. Chris Fitzsimon, who worked for Democratic House Speaker Dan Blue in the early 1990s, said both sets of promises contain bad ideas. But he said the 1994 plan had more specifics that provided it a level of credibility. This year’s plan, for example, doesn’t specify how the GOP would save $3 billion.

about this? Because I know that there are a lot of people who have never visited some of the historical places right here in Rowan County. It saddens me that so many parents do not try to educate their children about their surroundings just as the lady in Montana had never taken her son up on the rim rocks. So many families today just sit around watching television or playing computer games. I recently watched a medical show that told how obesity is growing in the United States. Many children have very little physical activity in their homes. How many in Rowan County have never played at Dan Nicholas or Sloan parks; or what about the Bull Hole or Boone’s Cave? Have you or your family climbed the trails at Dunn’s Mountain? These places are all free except for the cost of gas. A picnic lunch and a day of outdoor adventure can make memories. I certainly hope our daughters have good memories of the adventures we took when they were children.

With the upcoming arrival of autumn and the close proximity of Dunn’s Mountain, I once again want to encourage folks to visit the newest park in Rowan County. On a clear day one can see so far and foliage colors usually are just as vivid as the ones farther away in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Don’t worry about being physically unable to walk or climb the mountain. There is a disability van (on Saturdays and Sundays) and two very nice guys who will take you up and down in the van. There are picnic tables and benches and usually a nice breeze. It is a great place to meditate and thank God for the beauty he created! I’ve gone quite often by myself for a picnic and it is a good place for writing stories. I remembered a quotation that goes like this: “A blessing is not a blessing until it is spoken,” so now I’m doubly blessed for telling others about my blessing. Don’t miss being blessed! Tomorrow may be too late!

32nd Annual CROP Walk set for Oct. 10 at City Park The 32nd annual SalisburyRowan CROP Walk is set for Sunday, Oct. 10, at City Park. CROP stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty and is sponsored by the Salisbury-Rowan Ministerial Association. This year, SalisburyRowan and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide are joining together in interfaith community CROP Walks around the theme, “Ending hunger one step at a time.” The goal is to raise awareness and funds for international relief, as well as local hunger-fighting agencies. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will stay in

Rowan County to support Rowan Helping Ministries and Meals on Wheels. The balance goes to Church World Service, which serves some 60 countries with relief ministries. In the wake of the worst flooding in Pakistan’s history, Church World Service is assisting nearly 100,000 individuals with food, non-food items, and health care. In the aftermath of the killer earthquake in Haiti, Church World Service was also there with much-needed emergency assistance. Church World Service continues to help families and communities rebuild homes, food supplies, and livelihoods in

Haiti. CROP Hunger Walks also play a role in the U.S., helping communities ravaged by floods and tornados to recover. When CROP began in 1947, its primary mission was to help Midwest farmers share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. Each year, some 2,000 communities across the U.S. join in CROP Hunger Walks. Last year, 15 churches and 161walkers participated in the Salisbury-Rowan CROP Walk. This year, registration and the event activities begin at 2:30 p.m., with music provided by

the Salem Spirit Band and Singers from Salem Lutheran Church. The walk starts at 3 p.m. and will be followed by refreshments and fellowship. For more information or to register to walk, either as an individual or group, contact Paula Troxler at 704 633-3716 or First Presbyterian Church at 704 636-1321.

At the science museum where I work, I often see children coming through with Band-Aids, often bearing the face of Spongebob, but thankfully, I have not yet seen the faces from “Southpark” attached to their minor wounds. After Band-Aids have been taped to a cut for some time, they assume a somewhat nasty appearance in their ongoing job of keeping out dirt and germs. But with a Southpark Band-Aid, a certain amount of “nastiness” would be present from the start.

we decided to go to Boot Hill. We had stopped for gas and saw a teenage boy who looked the part of a “local,” so we asked if he lived there. He said that he had lived there all his life and heard of Boot Hill but never went there. He went over to ask his mother for directions to get there and she said it was “up on the rim rocks,” but she had never been there either. Joe and I found it hard to believe people could live in one place all their lives and never visit the historical sites. After all, we had taken our 4-H members all over Rowan County to take pictures for our photography class. When we arrived on Boot Hill, we discovered a once historical city park that had become neglected after being used as a place for drinking and using drugs. It was discouraging to discover that some tombstones had been knocked over and damaged. And like so many places, there was litter everywhere. So why am I writing

Sheriff Kevin Auten Address: Travis Lane, Salisbury Age: 49 Occupation: Sheriff Education: Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Catawba College

John Noble Address: East Hall Street, East Spencer Age: 63 Occupation: Part-time Sheriff’s Deputy and Lab Courier for Rowan Regional Medical Center Education: Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Shaw University

FROM 1a we’re just going to move forward and make it better. I just want to be given the opportunity to show people that I, too, can run a department.” Auten said because he’s acting sheriff, he’s also under pressure. “By being in the office, you are under the microscope a little more than someone not sitting here today,” he said. “And that’s true for any elected official.” Both Auten and Noble want to make changes and improvements to the Sheriff’s Office once elected, beginning with placing school resource officers at each middle school. “Whatever it will take,” Noble said. “You hear about how we don’t have the money, but then, if something (bad) happens in the schools, they’re going to find the money. “What I want to do is prevent anything major from happening right now. I did the job myself and it really works.” Noble said school resource officers make the administrators feel safe, the parents of the students feel safe, and they also educate the students about drugs and alcohol. “It’s just a great thing to have a school resource officer in all schools,” he said. Auten said the department has applied for funding for school resource officers, and if the funding falls through, he will look into the department to fulfill the need for officers at all schools. “The Sheriff’s Office has lost eight officers,” he said. “It’s tough when you start losing positions, especially when call volume and paper service is on the increase.” Both Auten and Noble know funding is the biggest force behind running a great sheriff’s department, and the more officers, the better the department can serve the public. “I would like to see more officers within the department,” Noble said. “All of the major crimes in the county, if you’ve got the manpower, and they see you have it, it will slow down. “It’s not going to stop, but it will slow down.” Auten believes the budget

• Follow up on crimes • Be more innovative and have programs that help communities • Middle school resource officers in each school • Work on curtailing metal theft • Expand services to seniors • Expand drug unit

The call volume continues to grow. We’ve answered 44,000 calls in one year (2009) and i don’t see that reversing. The civil division continues to be a challenge with foreclosures at an all-time high, and people out of work. Operating two jails will be a learning process.

I have been in law enforcement for over 30 years, and I have served the people of this county for 30 years. I feel the knowledge and the skills that I know about law enforcement and the county will help me know the needs of the people in the county.

• School resource officers in each middle school • More officers in the department • Work closely with judicial system and other law enforcement agencies • More drug interdiction • Go out on calls and talk with people about their problems

The new detention center is going to be a big challenge because you have to make sure everything is in place, you have to hire new people, and it has to be run by state standards.

won’t increase for a while. “I think we’re going to have to operate under the assumption there aren’t going to be any new jobs,” he said. “School resource officers are obviously important — they provide an excellent service and they have an influence on kids. “The funding is tough, so I think we’re just going to have to do more with what we have.” Another major obstacle the sheriff faces is tackling the increasing call volume and jail population. “We answered 44,000 calls in 2009,” Auten said. “Obviously, the call volume continues to grow, and I don’t see that reversing.” Auten said the civil division continues to be a challenge with foreclosures at an all-time high, and people out of work, not able to pay their bills. “So there are small claims actions and lawsuits over unpaid bills and breach of contracts,” he said. Noble believes that collaborating with other law enforcement agencies will help the department become a stronger force in the community. “When I started in law enforcement, we were all close,” he said. “We depended on each other. We got a lot of crime solved. “Right now, I’m not sure whether that bond is there or not. And I’m going to put it back if it’s not, and work together as a team — as a family.” The new detention center is also on Auten and Noble’s list of challenges. “Unfortunately, our jail population continues to grow, as does the prison population,” Auten said. “We need to look at better ways to assure people’s presence for court. Ankle bracelets or electronic monitoring might be an avenue to pursue.” Auten said that Christmas day of 1987 the detention center held 27 inmates. This past Christmas there were more than 290. “As the new jail annex is built over the next two years, it’s going to require 16 people right away,” Auten said. “We’re going to have to add that many folks to the payroll, and that comes at a time when money’s tight for all the county agencies.” Noble agrees with Auten,

and said everything has to be in place before it is open. “You have to hire new people, and it has to be run by state standards,” he said. “But it will be a relief because the department now takes 39-40 inmates to another county to be kept until their court date, and that costs quite a bit. “Housing inmates in another county is expensive, and that’s going to save the taxpayers money, so I’m excited about that.” Both candidates say they would have an open door policy as sheriff. “I want people to call me if something’s not right,” Auten said. “I encourage people to call, and I think I should be approachable. “I can’t come to every call and answer every call, but I can see that things get handled and we follow up on issues.” Noble said he hopes to actually go out on some calls and talk to the people, ensuring their needs are met. “My door to the Sheriff’s Office will always be open all the time for citizens, for other officers, be it whatever,” he said. “I will be a hands-on sheriff — I won’t sit in the office for four and five hours a day. “I’ll go outside where I need to be, where I can talk to the citizens of Rowan County and see what their problems are.” Noble also wants to meet once a month in different communities and talk with citizens about their problems. Other items on Auten’s wish list include expanding services to seniors, expanding the drug unit, following up on crime more efficiently, and remembering that the Sheriff’s Office’s victims are their customers, and they should have the best customer service possible. Noble also wants to expand and increase the hours the drug interdiction team works on the highway, and use the money received from the government to help fund the sheriff’s office.

EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — A Seton Hall University student who attended an off-campus house party at which five people were shot said the gunman stood on her back as she lay on the floor and didn’t appear to be targeting anyone during the chaos she described as “hell.” “He was just shooting he had no intended target,” said a text message from the woman, whose friend was the only person killed. The woman spoke Sunday by BlackBerry instant messenger on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety while the shooter remained at large. She said she was too upset to talk over the phone. She described the Friday night party, which lasted into early Saturday, as a “typical fraternity party” with at least 100 people at the pri-

vately owned row house. Students said the shooter was kicked out of the party when he refused to pay the cover charge. The woman said she heard a fight erupt before the man was thrown out. Seconds later, she said, he returned with a handgun and started shooting as chaos erupted. “Everyone was scrambling n stampeding. People were jumping out the two windows n all I cud smell was smoke n blood,” the woman wrote. “The next thing I knew I opened my eyes n saw hell..blood n just panic.” The woman said she was on the floor when the gunman stepped on her back and shot her friend Jessica Moore, a 19-year-old honors student majoring in psychology. Moore, who was from Disputanta, Va., died later at a hospital.

DRUGS FROM 1A rationing of a cancer drug since Taxol and Taxotere were approved 15 years ago. At the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, doctors plan a modified lottery to decide which of its 150 or so eligible patients will be among the two a month it can treat with Provenge. An insurance pre-check is part of the process to ensure they financially qualify for treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fearful that this will become a drug for people with more resources and less available for people with less resources,â&#x20AC;? said M.D. Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prostate cancer research chief, Dr. Christopher Logothetis. For other patients on other drugs, money already is affecting care: â&#x20AC;˘ Job losses have led some people to stop taking Gleevec, a $4,500-a-month drug by Novartis AG that keeps certain leukemias and stomach cancers in remission. Three such cases were recently described in the New England Journal of Medicine, and all those patients suffered relapses. â&#x20AC;˘ Retirements are being delayed to preserve insurance coverage of cancer drugs. Holly Reid, 58, an accountant in Novato, Calif., hoped to retire early until she tried cutting back on Gleevec and her cancer recurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced now I have to take this drug for the rest of my lifeâ&#x20AC;? and will have to work until eligible for Medicare, she said. â&#x20AC;˘ Lifetime caps on insurance benefits are hitting many patients, and laws are being pushed in dozens of states to get wider coverage of cancer drugs. In Quincy, Mass., 30year-old grad student Thea Showstack testified for one such law after pharmacists said her first cancer prescription exceeded her student insurance limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, that will be $1,900,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was absolutely panicked.â&#x20AC;?

ASSOCIATEDâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;PRESS

Patient Bob Svensson is hooked up to a blood infusion machine at the American Red Cross in Dedham, Mass., as he undergoes a $93,000 prostate cancer treatment. The federal health care law forbids such caps on plans issued or renewed Sept. 23 or later. â&#x20AC;˘ Tens of thousands of people are seeking help from drug companies and charities that provide free medicines or cover copays for low-income patients. Genentechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aid to patients has risen in each of the last three years and the company says nearly 85 percent of Americans earn less than $100,000, making them potentially eligible for help if no other programs like Medicaid will pay. â&#x20AC;˘ Doctors and insurers increasingly are doing the cruel math that many cancer patients want to avoid, and questioning how much small improvements in survival are worth. A recent editorial in a medical journal asked whether the extra 11 weeks that Genentechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herceptin buys for stomach cancer patients justified the $21,500

cost. Doctors also have questioned the value of Genentechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tarceva for pancreatic cancer. The $4,000-a-month drug won approval by boosting median survival by a mere 12 days. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to think about this cost: People who added Tarceva to standard chemotherapy lived nearly 6â&#x201E;Ś months, versus 6 months for those on chemo alone. So the Tarceva folks spent more than $24,000 to get those extra 12 days. When is a drug considered cost-effective? The most widely quoted figure is $50,000 for a year of life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;though it has been that for decades â&#x20AC;&#x201D; never really adjusted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not written in stone,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a Yale University expert on health care costs. Many cancer drugs are way over that mark. Estimates of the cost of a year of life gained for lung cancer pa-

tients on Erbitux range from $300,000 to as much as $800,000, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy chief medical officer. Higher costs seem to be more accepted for cancer treatment than for other illnesses, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rule on how much is too much, he said. Insurers usually are the ones to decide, and they typically pay if Medicare pays. Medicare usually pays if the federal Food and Drug Administration has approved the use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insurance sort of isolates you from the cost of health care,â&#x20AC;? and if people lose coverage, they often discover they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford their medicines, said Dr. Alan Venook, a cancer specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. He wrote in the New England Journal in August about three of his patients who stopped taking or

cut back on Gleevec because of economic hardship. Two of the three now are getting the drug from its maker, Novartis AG, which like most pharmaceutical companies has a program for low-income patients. About 5,000 patients got help for Gleevec last year, said Novartis spokesman Geoffrey Cook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen a steady increase in requests over the past few yearsâ&#x20AC;? as the economy worsened, he said. Showstack, whose leukemia was diagnosed last year, gets Gleevec from Novartis. The dose sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on now would cost $50,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not actually sure that I know anyone who could afford it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Gleevecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost is easier to justify, many say, because it keeps people alive indefinitely Ăł a virtual cure. About 2,300 Americans died each year of Showstackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form of leukemia before Gleevec came on the market; only 470 did last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we quibble with a drug that buys people magical quality of life for years,â&#x20AC;? Venook said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether Provenge will ever do that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it needs to be tested in men with earlier stages of prostate cancer, doctors say.

Until it shows wider promise, enthusiasm will be tepid, said Dr. Elizabeth Plimack a prostate specialist at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had any patient ask for it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They ask about it. Based on the information, they think the cost is tremendous, and they think the benefit is very small.â&#x20AC;? Logothetis, at M.D. Anderson, said Provenge and other experimental cancer vaccines in development need â&#x20AC;&#x153;a national investmentâ&#x20AC;? to sort out their potential, starting with Medicare coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer a fringe science.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; White descendants of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first professionally trained African-American doctor gathered in a cemetery on Sunday to dedicate a tombstone at the unmarked grave where he was buried in 1865. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now I feel so connected in a new way, to actually be here,â&#x20AC;? said Antoinette Martignoni, the 91-year-old great-granddaughter of James McCune Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take a deep breath, and I thank God, I really do. I am so glad to have lived this long.â&#x20AC;? Smith, born in New York City in 1813, wanted to be a doctor but was denied entry to medical schools in the United States. He earned a degree from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, then returned to New York to practice. Besides being a doctor, he was celebrated in his lifetime as a writer and an anti-slavery leader. Although scholars have written books about Smith, who set up a medical practice in lower Manhattan and became the resident physician at an orphanage, his descendants knew nothing about him until recently. The story of why Smith was nearly overlooked by history and buried in an unmarked grave is in part due to the centuries-old practice of light-skinned blacks passing as white to escape racial prejudice. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother had been a slave; his father was white. Three of his children lived to adulthood, and they all apparently passed as white, scholars say.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly half of the guns that crossed state lines and were used in crimes in 2009 were sold in just 10 states, according to a report being released today by a mayors’ group. Those states accounted for nearly 21,000 guns connected to crimes in other states, said the survey by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an association of more than 500 mayors led by New York’s Michael Bloomberg and Boston’s Thomas Menino. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced more than 145,000 guns used in crimes in 2009 and found that more than 43,000 of those weapons were sold in other states. Forty-nine percent of those guns were sold in Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, California or Arizona. States were also ranked by the number of crime guns exported per 100,000 inhabitants. Mississippi led that list, followed by West Virginia, Kentucky, Alaska, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Nevada and Georgia. Those states, the report said, have more relaxed gun laws, suggesting that “criminals and gun traffickers may favor certain states as the sources of guns.” For example, in states that do not require background checks for handgun sales at gun shows, the crime-gun export rate was two-and-a-half times as much as the rate in states that do require such checks.

Crist left the Republican Party in April when it became clear that Marco Rubio, a tea party favorite, would win the party’s Senate nomination. Republican officials hope Crist’s independent campaign will pull about as many votes from Democrat Kendrick Meek as from Rubio. That probably would lead to a Rubio win, unless Crist can take huge numbers from both rivals. More recently, Murkowski, who lost the Alaska GOP nomination to tea party favorite Joe Miller, has launched a write-in campaign to try to keep the seat she has held since 2002. Political insiders say the effort probably will fail, as has every Senate write-in campaign since 1954. But it’s hard to predict whether Murkowski would pull more votes from Miller or from Democrat Scott McAdams, leaving Miller’s front-runner status slightly in doubt. On Friday, top GOP officials

Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware is the third prominent Republic to consider a third-party bid after suffering a stinging defeat at the polls.

were urging Castle to drop the notion of a write-in campaign after his stunning loss to insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell in the Senate primary. “I just think write-ins are long shots,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, head of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. “As chairman of a party committee, it is our responsibility to support the nominee, the choice of the primary voters, and that’s what we’re going to do.” Some third-party candidates are hurting Democrats as well. A Green Party candidate in Arkansas is likely to take votes from Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who is trailing Republican John Boozman in polls. In House races, Republicans hope to benefit from a Hispanic independent candidate who might pull votes from Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif. In a Michigan race, a tea party candidate and a Green Party candidate might essentially cancel each other out in Democratic Rep. Mark Schauer’s re-election battle against Republican Tim Walberg. Third-party candidates also are affecting governors’ races. In Colorado, Republicans say anti-immigrant crusader Tom Tancredo killed the party’s already slim hopes in the open gubernatorial contest by running as an independent this fall. In Massachusetts, independent Timothy Cahill vows to stay in the gubernatorial race despite the resignations of two top staffers. Some Republicans worry that he will hurt GOP challenger Charles Baker’s effort to oust Gov. Deval Patrick, D. In Minnesota, Tom Horner, a moderate former Republican, is running an impressive independent bid for the open governor’s seat. He trails Democrat Mark Dayton and Republican Tom Emmer in polls, but both see Horner as a possible threat. Minnesotans elected independent Jesse Ventura as governor 12 years ago. Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry is favored to win re-election on Nov. 2, but supporters are keeping a wary eye on Libertarian candidate Kathie Glass. A strong showing by her might help Democrat Bill White.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether they are sore losers or never-say-die patriots, third-party candidates threaten to tip a handful of congressional and gubernatorial races to contenders who otherwise might have lost this fall. Nine-term Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware is the third prominent Republican to consider a third-party bid this year after a suffering a stinging setback at the hands of teaparty-backed conservatives. If Castle decides to make an independent run for Senate, he will join Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in refusing to let GOP primary voters force them into retirement. While Crist, Murkowski and Castle are well-known politicians, many third-party campaigns are lonely, low-budget affairs with little hope of winning more than 2 or 3 percent of the vote. But in extremely tight races, that could be enough to swing the outcome between the Democratic and Republican nominees. In several cases, Democrats hope to benefit from third-party campaigns by conservatives with tea party ties, who threaten to pull votes from the Republican nominees. That’s the hope of two hardpressed House Democrats in Virginia, Tom Perriello and Glenn Nye. Their well-financed GOP opponents failed to persuade one or more of their unsuccessful Republican rivals from mounting independent campaigns, which conceivably could siphon away enough conservative votes to sink the GOP nominee. Third-party candidates rarely win, but they’re sometimes successful “in pulling the rug out from under the nominee” who defeated them in the party primary, said Ross K. Baker, a Rutgers University political scientist. “They’re disgruntled primary losers, and they want revenge,” he said. Among the nation’s most famous, or infamous, third-party efforts was Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential bid. He won enough liberal votes in Florida to keep Democrat Al Gore from carrying the state and becoming president. Connecticut voters elected third-party candidates Lowell Weicker as governor and Joe

Mental health care in crisis

I am a longtime resident of Rowan County and have been an active advocate for individuals with mental illness for many years, in several capacities. Mental health care in North Carolina (and across the nation) is in a crisis situation. Our citizens must be informed, and we need your help. The thousands of dollars that have been cut from state mental health budgets in past months is impacting mental health programs and, most importantly, those individuals who desperately need and deserve treatment. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) grades each state on the level of mental health care. The grade is based on several categories. North Carolina’s grade for mental health is a D. There have been 75 deaths due to negligence in N.C. psychiatric hospitals. As of last Monday, two patients were at the regional hospital in Albemarle, in ER rooms, both being monitored by police (paid for by the state) because there was no place to send these patients — meaning, no psychiatric beds in the state. Prevention is the answer: not letting these individuals go into crisis and then the state trying to find help. Please lend your voice and write an e-mail to Gov. Bev Perdue, state Sen. Andrew Brock and Rep. Lorene Coates, as they are the ones who actually vote on budget issues. Please ask them to save mental health care. A great site for more information is www.nami.org and www.psychrights.org. — Lisa Kelley

Bean’s plight not front-page news Regarding the Post’s coverage of former Spencer Mayor Alicia Bean: Was it really such a poor news day that it was necessary to publish (on the front page, no less) coverage about Ms. Bean’s mental health crisis? Is the Salisbury Enquirer going to report news about everyone who needs mental health care or is depressed enough to consider suicide? Ms. Bean is suffering enough as it is (and will continue to need mental health care) about a matter that should be personal. Would any of the Salisbury Post employees or their family members want such a private issue to be considered news? Of course not. How is printing information about Ms. Bean’s personal life going to help her? Would anyone want this type of information out in public for everyone to read and gossip about? This style of reporting is beneath you. This article will set back Ms. Bean’s recovery. The Salisbury Post owes Ms. Bean an apology. The action taken in 2009 was a different type of situation and prevented harm to Ms. Bean. This article was total overkill. Again, shame on the Salisbury Post.

Tea Party will be in cross hairs Candidates supported by the Tea Party will be under attack from the left and right, especially where Republican moderates are beaten in the primaries by these politically illiterate candidates. The so-called “ruling class” does not take lightly this incursion into their domain. The Tea Party candidates will be scrutinized for every possible sin, shortcoming, politically incorrect statement ever said or questionable behavior. Too bad this same scrutiny is not applied to present officeholders. The first card to be played will be the race card. If you object to President Obama’s agenda or question his place of birth, you will be labeled a racist. Tea Party candidates will be accused

wanting to end Social Security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment compensation and every other entitlement program in the government’s vast array of vote-getting handouts ... oops, sorry, I meant assistance programs. In fact, Harry Reid just did this in his bid for re-election, accusing his Tea Party opponent of just these things. But in all fairness, there’s usually some truth even in the biggest lie. His opponent would like to change Social Security to allow working people to privately invest some of the retirements funds according to their own choosing. This is a bad idea on two counts for the ruling class. Congress would not be able to spend the people’s invested money. Second, they would lost control of these funds and perhaps bring down this government Ponzi scheme. Money dedicated to Social Security has been spent by politicians as general revenue since the program’s inception. To paraphrase our president when he was campaigning, change is coming to Washington. Oh, I pray this is true in the coming elections. — Richard Roberts Kannapolis

majority of Americans believe that Imam Rauf has the right to build an Islamic mosque at the Ground Zero site in New York. They also believe that it is not the right thing to do nor is it a way to help “build bridges” as the imam professes to want to do. Last week, Imam Rauf made the statement that to not build the mosque may cause retaliation from Islamic extremists. He then stated that to move the mosque to a different site may also cause retaliation from Islamic extremists. Last week, the Seattle cartoonist who promoted “Draw Mohammed Day” went into hiding in a witness protection program at the urging of the FBI. The cartoonist was put on a “kill” list by American-born Islamic extremist leader Iman Anwar AlAwlaki. The pastor of a church in Florida (with 30–50 followers) was to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11 to commemorate the senseless killing of 3,000 people on 9-11-01. As a result there were threats of death from the Islamic world and riots in many countries. The weight of the White House came down on the unknown pastor, asking him not to burn the Koran. He didn’t burn the Koran. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees American citizens the right to freedom of religion and the right to freedom of speech. We also know that with these rights we have responsibilities. There are times when we should not exercise that right, such as yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. Doing so constitutes an immediate danger to all those in the theater. Drawing Mohammed or burning the Koran does not present an immediate danger. Any retaliation from the Islamic extremists upon burning a Koran is a delayed reaction from this event. While I disagree with the burning of any book, whether it is a Koran, a Bible, a history book, etc., the pastor in Florida has the right to burn it (as do those that burn the American flag). So it comes down to this. Should we build a mosque at Ground Zero, when a majority of Americans are against it, to appease the Islamic extremists? Should Americans go into hiding because of threats of death from Islamic extremists over “Draw Mohammed Day”? Should a pastor be persuaded by our own government to not burn the Koran because we might cause the Islamic extremists to retaliate and may jeopardize our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that are already fighting in a war? There are men and women currently fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan so that we might have the right to freedom of religion and the right to freedom of speech. Our forefathers fought and died so that we could enjoy these liberties today. In a recent interview on ABC, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was asked about our First Amendment changing because of the threat of violence in the Mid East and Europe. Amazingly, the justice cited the “yelling fire in a crowed theater” scenario and went on to say that we may need to look at the crowded theater as a “global theater.” Maybe the justice was responding off the cuff and wasn’t expecting the question, but that is a scary off-the-cuff remark! Do we have the right to exercise freedom of speech or not? Are we going to let Europe, the Middle East, or Islamic extremists dictate what free speech is in America? Do we need to change the U.S. Constitution in order to not offend those in Europe, the Middle East or Islamic extremists? Freedom isn’t free; it comes with a price. Are Americans willing to pay the price for exercising our constitutional right to freedom of speech, or should we amend our Constitution to say that we have a right to freedom of speech, but only if it will not upset our “global” neighbors? I see this as a critical time for America. The choice will have to be made soon! • • • Tim Byrd lives in Salisbury.

Georgia pastor vows to fight allegations

Computer attacks tied to hacker team

LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) — Casting himself as the Bible’s ultimate underdog, Bishop Eddie Long went before thousands of faithful supporters at his megachurch Sunday and promised to fight accusations that he lured four young men into sexual relationships. “I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven’t thrown one yet,” Long said in his first public remarks since his accusers filed lawsuits last week claiming he abused his “spiritual authority.” He stopped short of denying the allegations but implied he was wronged by them. “I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man. But I am not the man that’s being portrayed on the television. That’s not me. That is not me,” he said. Long’s brief addresses to the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church were met with thunderous applause and an outpouring of support during services that were equal parts part rock concert and pep rally. The sanctuary was nearly filled to its 10,000-seat capacity for both the 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. services. Many lined up two hours before the doors of the church opened. Long became one of the country’s most powerful independent church leaders over the last 20 years, turning a suburban Atlanta congregation of 150 to a 25,000-member powerhouse with a $50 million

WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful computer code attacking industrial facilities around the world, but mainly in Iran, probably was created by experts working for a country or a well-funded private group, according to an analysis by a leading computer security company. The malicious code, called Stuxnet, was designed to go after several “high-value targets,” said Liam O Murchu, manager of security response operations at Symantec Corp. But both O Murchu and U.S. government experts say there’s no proof it was developed to target nuclear plants in Iran, despite recent speculation from some researchers. Creating the malicious code required a team of as many as five to 10 highly educated and well-funded hackers. Government experts and outside analysts say they haven’t been able to determine who developed it or why. The malware has infected as many as 45,000 computer systems around the world. Siemens AG, the company that designed the system targeted by the worm, said it has infected 15 of the industrial control plants it was apparently intended to infiltrate. It’s not clear what sites were infected, but they could include water filtration, oil delivery, electrical and nuclear plants. None of those infections has adversely affected the industrial systems, according to Siemens. U.S. officials said last month that the Stuxnet was the first malicious computer code specifically created to take over systems that control the inner workings of industrial plants. The Energy Department has warned that a successful attack against critical control systems “may result in catastrophic physical or property damage and loss.” Symantec’s analysis of

cathedral and a roster of parishioners that includes athletes, entertainers and politicians. And there was almost no sign Sunday that his flock wanted to turn him away. Followers prayed, sang and embraced one another as they rallied around their senior pastor. Wearing a cream-colored suit as he strode into the church sanctuary hand-inhand with his wife, Vanessa, Long paused to soak in the adoration. During the second service, however, one young man in a blue shirt stood up and shouted: “We want to know the truth, man!” He was quickly escorted out and did not return. After the service, many expressed unwavering support for their leader. “We know and we love Bishop,” said Annie Cannon, a seven-year member of New Birth. “We love our place of worship. My son goes to school here. We do everything here.” It is unclear whether Long faces any risk of being removed by his church’s board, but the allegations at the very least guarantee months of scrutiny as the lawsuits move forward. Long is a father of four who has been an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and whose church has counseled gay members to become straight. Two young men say

Bishop Eddie Long kisses his wife Vanessa Long before speaking Sunday at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church near Atlanta. Long has denied allegations that he lured young men into sexual relationships. he groomed them for sexual relationships when they were enrolled in the church’s LongFellows Youth Academy, a program that taught teens about sexual and financial discipline. Two other young men — one of whom attended a satellite church in Charlotte, N.C. — have made similar claims.

The men say they were 17 or 18 when the relationships began. Federal and state authorities have declined to investigate because Georgia’s age of consent is 16. “I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know, as I said earlier, I am not a perfect man,” Long said. “But this thing, I’m going to fight.”

Experts question BP’s take on Gulf spill WASHINGTON (AP) — Engineering experts probing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill exposed holes in BP’s internal investigation as the company was questioned Sunday for the first time in public about its findings. BP’s lead investigator acknowledged that the company’s probe had limitations. Mark Bly, head of safety and operations for BP PLC, told a National Academy of Engineering committee that a lack of physical evidence and interviews with employees from other companies limited BP’s study. The internal team only looked at the immediate cause of the April disaster, which killed 11 workers and

unleashed 206 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. “It is clear that you could go further into the analysis,” said Bly, who said the investigation was geared to discovering things that BP could address in the short term. “This does not represent a complete penetration into potentially deeper issues.” For example, the National Academy of Engineering panel noted that the study avoided organizational flaws that could have contributed to the blast. BP has focused much of its work on decisions made on the rig, not with the managers on shore. Najmedin Meshkati, a professor at the Viterbi School of

Engineering at the University of Southern California, said he wondered why BP named its report an accident investigation when it left critical elements out. He asked BP to turn over information on shift duration and worker fatigue. He referred specifically to the confusion that occurred leading up to the explosion, when many workers aboard the rig were busy with work associated with finishing up a well. “It wasn’t intended to be anything that it isn’t,” Bly responded. “It was a good contribution and a good foundation for further work for BP itself and others.” Other experts questioned

one of BP’s central conclusions that the oil and gas traveled up the center pipe, rather than the space outside the pipe. One wanted to know whether a device designed to shut off an engine when it starts to rev — as it would in the presence of gas — failed. BP said it didn’t know if the device worked or not.

the code, O Murchu said, shows that nearly 60 percent of the computers infected with Stuxnet are in Iran. An additional 18 percent are in Indonesia. Less than 2 percent are in the U.S. “This would not be easy for a normal group to put together,” said O Murchu. He said “it was either a wellfunded private entity” or it “was a government agency or state sponsored project” created by people familiar with industrial control systems. A number of governments with sophisticated computer skills would have the ability to create such a code. They include China, Russia, Israel, Britain, Germany and the United States. But O Murchu said no clues have been found within the code to point to a country of origin. Iran’s nuclear agency has taken steps to combat the computer worm that has affected industrial sites throughout the country, including its first nuclear power station just weeks before it was set to go online. Experts from the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran met this past week to discuss how to remove the malware, according to the semiofficial ISNA news agency. The computer worm, which can be carried or transmitted through portable thumb drives, also has affected the personal computers of staff working at the plant, according to IRNA, Iran’s official news agency. The news agency said it has not caused any damage to the plants major systems. German security researcher Ralph Langner, who has also analyzed the code, told a computer conference in Maryland this month that his theory is that Stuxnet was created to go after the nuclear program in Iran. He acknowledged, though, that the idea is “completely speculative.”

Settlement slowdown ends in West Bank make peace with Netanyahu, known as a hard-liner. Israeli settlers were not waiting, celebrating the end of the slowdown and planning to send bulldozers into action in two places in the West Bank early today. In Revava, a settlement deep in the West Bank, about 2,000 activists released 2,000 balloons in the blue and white of the Israeli flag at sundown Sunday. The balloons were meant to symbolize the 2,000 apartments that settlers say are ready to be built immediately. “Today it’s over and we will do everything we can to make sure it never happens again,” settler leader Dani Dayan told the crowd. “We return with new energy and a new determination to populate this land.” It was unclear what how the official end of the slowdown would affect construction. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already signaled future settlement construction will be kept to a minimum.

British aid worker, 3 others kidnapped in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan election officials ordered recounts Sunday in seven provinces after last week’s parliamentary elections, while security problems continued to plague the country with the kidnapping of four aid workers, including one British woman. The British aid worker and three Afghan colleagues were ambushed as they traveled in two vehicles in northeastern

Kunar province. Police fought a gunbattle with the kidnappers near the ambush site before the assailants fled, Kunar police chief Khalilullah Zaiyi said. Steven O’Connor, communications director for Development Alternatives Inc., a global consulting company based in the Washington, D.C., area, said late Sunday night that its employees, including a British national,

were involved. The company works on projects for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Afghanistan. Britain’s Foreign Office in London said it could “confirm that a British national has been abducted in Afghanistan. We are working closely with all the relevant local authorities.” The ministry said it had contacted the abducted per-

son’s family, and was offering help. It also said that publication of the woman’s identity could put her at further risk. Meanwhile, two NATO troops, whose nationalities were not announced, were killed in a bomb attack in the volatile south. NATO also said Sunday its forces had killed five insurgents in a multi-day clearing operation near the southern city of Kandahar.

Chavez’s socialist-oriented government fails to keep at least a two-thirds majority of the 165 seats, opponents would have more clout in trying to check his sweeping powers. “Democracy is at stake,” said Teresa Bermudez, a 63year-old Chavez opponent who stood in a line that ran down a block and around a corner in downtown Caracas. She said she sees the vote as a vital chance for the opposition to have a voice and achieve a more balanced legislature. Chavez has fashioned himself as a revolutionary-turnedpresident carrying on the legacy of his mentor Fidel Castro, with a nationalist vision and a deep-seated antagonism toward the U.S. government. He has largely funded his government with Venezuela’s ample oil wealth, touting social programs targeted to his support base. Chavez portrayed the vote as a choice between his “Bolivarian Revolution” and opposition politicians he accuses of serving the interests of the wealthy and his adversaries in the U.S. government.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Opponents of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez tried to break his long-standing monopoly on power Sunday in congressional elections, while the firebrand leader rallied his supporters by urging them to “attack” through the ballot box. Voters stood in long lines at polling stations during elections that stirred strong sentiment on both sides of Venezuela’s deep political divide. Venezuelans were waiting early today for results to be announced. After casting his ballot, Chavez said turnout could be as high as 70 percent. “The people are speaking,” Chavez said, calling it proof the country has a healthy democracy. Opposition parties were trying to end Chavez’s domination of the National Assembly for the first time in his nearly 12 years in the presidency. The vote is also seen as a referendum on Chavez himself ahead of the next presidential election in 2012. Polls suggest Chavez remains the most popular politician in Venezuela, yet surveys also have shown a decline in his popularity in the past two years as disenchantment has grown over problems including rampant violent crime, poorly administered public services and inflation now hovering at 30 percent. The opposition, which boycotted the last legislative elections in 2005, stands to dramatically increase its representation beyond the 11 or so lawmakers who defected from Chavez’s camp in the current National Assembly.

REVAVA, West Bank (AP) — Jewish settlers released balloons and broke ground on a kindergarten in celebration Sunday as a 10-month construction slowdown expired, while U.S. and Israeli leaders tried to figure out how to keep Palestinians from walking out of peace talks over the end of the restrictions. After the slowdown ran out at midnight, there was no Palestinian statement about the future of the talks. The Palestinians asked for an Oct. 4 meeting of an Arab League body to discuss the situation, possibly giving diplomats an extra week to work out a compromise. Minutes after the expiration, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the Palestinians not to walk away, but instead to maintain constant contact “to achieve a historic framework accord within a year.” In a statement, Netanyahu said his “intention to achieve peace is genuine.” Palestinians have questioned whether they can

Johnson dominates Dover BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press

AssociAted Press

Jimmie Johnson and his family celebrate winning at dover.

DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson had it all. He won the pole, dominated again to win at Dover International Speedway, and even held his baby daughter in his arms in Victory Lane for the first time. He called it a dream weekend. Yet, it wasn’t enough for the four-time Cup champion. Not even close. Johnson let the field know his bid for a fifth straight title is alive and thriving by winning the second race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship on Sunday for his sixth victory of the season. He won’t be truly happy with the result until he’s hoisting the series trophy and celebrating another

Hitter friendly

championship after the finale. “Yes, today was a big victory and hopefully a step toward the championship,” Johnson said, “but it’s not the prize we want.” Johnson has owned Dover the last two years, winning for the third time in four races on the mile concrete oval. He shook off a rare poor finish in last week’s Chase opener at New Hampshire to turn the fastest qualifying lap, cruise to the checkered flag and shoot to second in the points standings. Johnson has few better tracks to jump-start his championship run than Dover with six career wins and 12 top-10 finishes in 18 races. He was sensational in the No. 48 Chevrolet here in May until a rare pit road mistake put him in 16th place.

“There’s a very unique rhythm to driving this track and it’s just suited my style,” Johnson said. Chase drivers filled five of the top-six spots. Jeff Burton was second, Kurt Busch was fourth, Carl Edwards fifth and Kyle Busch sixth. Joey Logano spoiled the sweep with a second-place finish. Burton said no one should ever count out Johnson. “They’re good,” he said. “They’re not good, they’re great. That word is not being overused when I say that.” Danny Hamlin kept his points lead with a ninth-place finish. He holds a 35-point advantage over Johnson heading into next week’s race at Kansas Speedway. The

Giants concerned about Rockies using juiced balls Associated Press

DENVER— Umpires are keeping a close eye on game balls at Coors Field after the San Francisco Giants expressed concern to the commissioner’s office that the Colorado Rockies might be using “juiced” balls when they’re batting. Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney confirmed that umpires were instructed to monitor the game balls used Saturday night in the Giants-Rockies game. Courtney said the Giants spoke to MLB about the Rockies possibly using balls that weren’t properly stored in the humidor at Coors Field. The story was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, which said the Giants filed a complaint with the commissioner’s office. “Complaint is too strong of a word,” Courtney told The Associated Press. “There was concern raised.” For nine years, baseballs to be used in Rockies home games have been stored in a humidor, which helps keep them from becoming dried out and more hitter-friendly in Denver’s thin air. Before each game, balls are taken out of the humidor and rubbed up by the umpires’ attendant. They are then placed in a ball bag and put back into the humidor. After the national anthem, the bag is taken to the Rockies’ dugout and those balls are used during the game. Umpires were instructed Saturday to monitor the pregame process and make sure nothing fishy was going on. “We got the bag and brought it over here about a half an hour before the game,” crew chief John Hirschbeck said after Colorado beat the Giants 10-9 in 10 innings. “Our clubhouse person brought them out. That’s what baseball wants us to do over the weekend, so I will. “There’s nothing going on here. This is a bunch of (nonsense), it really is,” he added. “They just scored 19 runs. I mean, come on. There’s nothing going on here.” The Giants mentioned the issue to the commissioner’s office before arriving at Coors Field for a key series this weekend. MLB decided to have umpires keep track of the balls going from the humidor into play, and that started Saturday night. “It’s just to keep a constant visua,” Courtney said. San Francisco won the series opener 2-1 Friday night behind ace Tim Lincecum, but

Pain piling on 0-3 Panthers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Jimmy Clausen took a hard shot to Bengals 20 the ribs and crumPanthers 7 pled to the turf just after releasing his final pass Sunday, a fourth-down heave into the end zone that fell incomplete. His miserable day wasn’t over as he staggered to his feet. Fiery teammate Steve Smith was waiting on the

sideline with a tongue-lashing. It made Carson Palmer’s shaky day look not so bad at all. Palmer shook off two interceptions to throw a clinching touchdown pass to Cedric Benson midway through the fourth quarter. Benson rushed for another TD in the Cincinnati Bengals’ ugly 20-7 victory over Carolina to spoil Clausen’s first NFL start and continue the Panthers’ horrible beginning to the season. “I’m trying to get Smitty the ball as many times as we can. He’s our big

playmaker on offense,” said Clausen on taking the brunt of Smith’s frustration. “It’s tough sometimes trying to get him the ball when there are two guys doubling Steve.” Cincinnati (2-1) snapped a fivegame road losing streak despite a mistake-filled performance in drizzly weather that included little explosiveness from the receiving duo of Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens. “I missed a couple of passes that were just a little off,” said Palmer, who had four more passes nearly in-

tercepted and made a bizarre mental error at the end of the first half that cost Cincinnati three points. “It’s just something that we’re going to keep working on.” Little offensive firepower was needed with the former Notre Dame star Clausen unable to jump-start Carolina’s feeble offense that committed four more turnovers. The Panthers have three TDs and 12 turnovers in their second straight 0-3 start.

Lakers welcome Heat hoopla BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers can only chuckle when they acknowledge the story line for the upcoming NBA season. At least at the start, it’s all about South Beach, not Hollywood. And that’s just fine with the NBA finals MVP and his supporting crew, who reported for training camp Saturday after an extra-short summer. It’s not often that a two-time champion team returning every significant contributor isn’t the odds-on favorite the following season. In fact, the Lakers are almost looking forward to moving to the fringe of the spotlight that’s shining directly on the Miami Heat. “There will be times when they’re the toast of the town and everybody is focused on them, and that’s fine,” point guard Derek Fisher said,

smiling. “With the type of maturity we have, there’s not really that much concern about what other people are doing.” After winning Game 7 of the NBA finals on June 17, they’re back at their training complex several days earlier than normal to prepare for games in London and Barcelona early next month. “We joke about it — the reward for being the NBA champion is you get to start earlier than everybody else!” Bryant said. “Congratulations! It’s surreal that we’re back here already. Seems like the parade was just yesterday.” The next parade got tougher to plan when LeBron James and Chris Bosh elected to join Dwyane Wade with the Heat. The Lakers watched the offseason saga along with their fans and the oddsmakers who immediately installed the South Beach superstars as title favorites.

Dramatic victory for Furyk ATLANTA (AP) — The biggest shot of his career gave Jim Furyk the biggest payoff in golf. Clinging to a one-shot lead, with a $10 million bonus riding on the outcome, Furyk nearly holed a bunker shot and knocked in the 21/2-foot par putt he had left to win the Tour Championship and capture a FedEx Cup that came down to the very last hole. Furyk closed with an even-par 70 and a one-shot victory over Luke Donald in a steady rain at East Lake. Donald, who chipped in from 100 feet for birdie on the 17th hole to keep his hopes alive, was waiting in the scoring trailer when Furyk hit his hybrid on the 230yard closing hole into the bunker. A bogey would mean a suddendeath playoff to decide the FedEx Cup. It was the 16th career victory for Furyk, but none that ended like this. When he rapped in his short par putt with his back turned backward, he plucked the ball out of the cup, just like always. Then, he dropped his putter and fired the ball over the grandstands behind the 18th green, and thrust his

right arm into the air as he screamed with delight. Furyk earned $1.35 million for winning the tournament, and $10 million from the FedEx Cup. In its fourth year, it was by far the most riveting finale of the FedEx Cup. With an hour to go, the five players who had a chance to win the cup included Nick Watney, who started the week as the No. 28 seed in a 30-man field. It was all in Furyk’s hands when he birdied the 15th to build a three-shot lead, and Paul Casey bogeyed the 17th hole ahead of him. But Furyk had to scramble for bogey on the 16th, couldn’t reach the green on the 17th and made another bogey as he watched his lead slip to a single shot playing one of the toughest holes at East Lake. The sand shot could pay off in more ways than a big bonus. It was the third victory of the year for Furyk, which could be enough for him to be voted PGA Tour player of the year. No one else has won more than twice. The $10 million should at least help buy the greatest alarm clock ever made. Furyk was the No. 3 seed when

the playoffs began, but was disqualified from the opener when he missed his pro-am time at The Barclays because the battery died in his cell phone, which he used for an alarm. In the end, Furyk joined Tiger Woods as the only FedEx Cup champions to miss the first playoff event — Woods in 2007 because he didn’t want to play, Furyk this year because he couldn’t. Furyk also became the first player to be outside the top 10 in the standings at the Tour Championship to win. Matt Kuchar, the No. 1 seed, shot a 71 and tied for 25th. This Sunday was so bizarre that Kuchar still had a chance to win the FedEx Cup. Kuchar wound up second in the FedEx Cup and earns a $3 million bonus. Donald, who closed with a 70, moved up to third in the standings and picked up an extra $2 million. Retief Goosen also had a chance at East Lake until a bogey on the 17th. He shot a 71 and finished alone in third at the Tour Championship. Watney (67) and Casey (69) tied for fourth.

Associated Press DENVER — Matt Cain carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning, pitching the San Francisco Giants past the fading Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Sunday and back into first place in the NL West. San Francisco moved a half-game ahead of San Diego, which lost to Cincinnati. The Rockies, who have dropped six of seven, fell 41⁄2 games behind the Giants and four back of the Padres in the wild-card race. Cain (13-10) held the Rockies hitless until speedy Jay Payton legged out an infield single with one out in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Melvin Mora connected for a two-run homer, ending Cain’s scoreless streak at 20 innings. Still, the right-hander went the distance on a three-hitter for his 12th career complete game and fourth this season. He won his fourth straight start and hasn’t lost in seven outings since Aug. 18. San Francisco took two of three in a key series at Coors Field. Reds 12, Padres 2 SAN DIEGO — Chris Heisey homered and hit a three-run double, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a romp over San Diego that reduced their magic number to one for winning the NL Central. Mets 7, Phillies 3 PHILADELPHIA — Carlos Beltran hit a pair of homers, David Wright also connected and New York beat Philadelphia, preventing the Phillies from clinching their fourth straight NL East title at home. Chase Utley hit a three-run homer for the Phillies, who will finish the season on the road with three games at Washington and three at Atlanta.

Closers falter; Yankees beat Sox in 10th

Hurler needs 20 stitches

Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — A CT scan on Cardinals reliever Blake Hawksworth was negative and he was to be released from the hospital a day after being hit in the face by a line drive. Hawksworth was hospitalized overnight after being hit by a liner off the bat of Cubs’ Sam Fuld in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game. He received about 20 stitches, but the scan of his head showed no structural damage and he was to be released Sunday. Hawksworth had come in for starter Chris Carpenter and was facing his second batter when Fuld’s liner knocked him to the ground.

NEW YORK — On a night when Mariano Rivera and Jonathan Papelbon both failed to hold ninth-inning leads, Juan Miranda drew a bases-loaded walk from Hideki Okajima in the 10th to give the Yankees a 4-3 win against Boston. New York stopped a fourgame losing streak that matched its season high. The

Yankees cut the magic number to one for their 15th playoff berth in 16 years and closed within a half-game of AL Eastleading Tampa Bay. Mariners 6, Rays 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.— Josh Wilson hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the sixth inning off James Shields. Rangers 16, Athletics 9 OAKLAND, Calif. — Rookie Mitch Moreland homered twice

and drove in a season-high five runs. Tigers 5, Twins 1 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera set off an “MVP!” chant with his career-high 38th homer, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins in their final home game of the season. Blue Jays 5, Orioles 2 TORONTO — Major league home run leader Jose Bautista

was twice hit by pitches, leading to the ejection of Baltimore manager Buck Showalter. White Sox 4, Angels 3 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Juan Pierre tripled home the tying run and scored on Omar Vizquel’s single in the seventh. Indians 5, Royals 3 CLEVELAND Pinch-hitter Michael Brantley’s two-run double capped a five-run rally in the eighth inning.

SPORTS DIGEST

Is Bowyer the newest folk hero? BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News Service

Is the future of NASCAR Cup racing really just its past in a new package? I ask because Richard Childress said something earlier this week about his Chase driver, Clint Bowyer, that’s pretty telling. “Clint came from the short tracks and dirt tracks and he’s earned where he is today,” Childress said. “He’s fanfriendly, the fans love him — it’s what NASCAR needs, a new type of hero.” Bowyer, the last man to make the 2010 Chase field, followed up his qualification with a win in the first playoff race. The checker at New Hampshire helped him vault from 12th in the standings to second behind Denny Hamlin. Then on Wednesday NASCAR ruled that the car he won in on Sunday had failed inspection, so he was docked 150 Chase points and slipped back to 12th. That will only help his status as a folk hero, especially since it looks like he’s being picked on. After all, NASCAR thought his car at Richmond was a bit shady, too. The deal with Bowyer is that he comes across like a really good guy —

a man culled from the days when NASCAR was the most fan-friendly sport on the planet. Frankly it probably still is. Try to get as close to an NFL or Major League Baseball player as you can to a driver in Sprint Cup, Nationwide or Camping World Trucks racing, and you’ll be escorted from the premises in a headlock. But it’s nothing like it used to be, when the only difference between a race driver and a race fan was that the driver had on a fire suit (and could drive really well at 200 miles per hour). And once NASCAR became a popular TV sport, it geared its product more toward the living room than the grandstands. Next thing you know drivers are more like rock stars, complete with an entourage that keeps them away from the unwashed masses. And the TV broadcasts are so gimmick-heavy it’s hard to tell if you’re watching a race or attending a class at technical college. Then Bowyer comes on the scene. Like Childress said, he worked his way up. He’s a bit of a late bloomer and not nearly as slick as some of the “super-

RACE FROM 1B points leader after Dover has never gone on to win the championship since the Chase’s inception in 2004. “A lot of people are waiting for us to slip up like we have in the past, but I don’t see it this time around,” Hamlin said. “I just think our team is too focused at this point and we’re running too well for that to happen. I think it’s going to go all the way to the wire.” Hamlin is a strong favorite to thwart Johnson’s drive for five. Hamlin’s average finish at Dover was 22.8 in nine previous races — only Daytona at 23.1 is a more troublesome spot for the Joe Gibbs Racing contender — so Sunday was a positive sign for his title run over the final eight races of the season. His points lead is the largest for any driver after the second Chase race. “The original goal was to be 80 points back after Kansas,” he said. “Well, that goal has been shifted now.” Hamlin had an active weekend. First, he blasted Clint Bowyer’s explanation for driving an illegal car in his New Hampshire victory. Then, he was bumped by Kevin Harvick, Bowyer’s teammate, in practice Satur-

stars” of the sport. So naturally, he is setting himself up to be the next superstar. And that’s a good thing for NASCAR. Nothing against the Jimmie Johnsons, Jeff Gordons or Denny Hamlins of the racing world, but sometimes it’s nice to have an Average Joe-type guy grab the spotlight. Bowyer was able to do that with last Sunday’s win, and now that we know his team likes to push the envelope of race day engineering, he really seems like a “throwback.” “The sport is as good as it been, the racing is good and the fan turnout this past weekend was awesome,” Bowyer said. “More importantly, I think this Chase is going to be as close as it has ever been. When the 12 seed wins the first race, it just shows the level of competition.” A new kind of racing “hero?” Nah. Bowyer is an old-fashioned racing star, one that often gets lost in the shuffle of a sport that tries to combine the spirit of tradition with a corporate mentality. Too often, the corporate mentality wins out, and that’s one of the reasons fans have cooled to it in recent years. But Bowyer is the kind of the driver fans love — even if he’s 150 points lighter this week.

day and the two got into a screaming match in the garage. Hamlin considered the issue over. Dover lacked the drama of last week’s opener when Tony Stewart lost a big gamble and ran out of fuel right before the white flag lap, allowing Bowyer to zip past for the win. Bowyer’s celebration was short-lived after he flunked a follow-up inspection last week and was docked 150 points. His rough stretch continued with a 25th-place finish and — unless he can win Wednesday’s appeal — his championship hopes are all but dashed. Bowyer’s car was again taken by NASCAR back to its North Carolina research and development center for a more thorough examination. No car failed Sunday’s postrace inspection. Chase drivers were scattered throughout the results. Jeff Gordon was 11th, and Harvick 15th. Matt Kenseth battled a cut tire to finish 18th and Greg Biffle was 19th. Stewart was 21st. Title hopes are grim for Stewart (10th place, 162 points out) and Kenseth (11th place, 165 points out). Johnson finished 25th last Sunday at New Hampshire. It was the worst showing for any driver in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

PANTHERS FROM 1B Clausen, who took over when Matt Moore was benched last week, threw for 188 yards with an interception and lost fumble. “I don’t think it’s a rookie quarterback problem. I don’t think it’s fair to blame Jimmy or Matt,” said Smith, who had calmed down after the game. “I don’t think it’s fair to blame me or (rookie receiver) David Gettis. There are a lot of people involved in this thing.” Jonathan Stewart’s lost fumble set up Palmer’s 7yard TD pass to Benson — the running back’s first career TD receiving — to put the Bengals ahead 20-7. Benson added a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter and Mike Nugent kicked two field goals in Cincinnati’s second

straight victory. The Bengals beat Baltimore last week without scoring a touchdown. “This isn’t the BCS,” cornerback Leon Hall said. “We just need a win.” Hall intercepted Clausen in his miserable first half that included a 0.0 passer rating. He didn’t complete his second pass until the first minute of the third quarter. Clausen finished 16 of 33, but he had numerous passes dropped. Stewart and DeAngelo Williams managed just 77 yards rushing. Embattled coach John Fox

said it was “too early” to say who will start next week, but deflected much of the blame from Clausen. “We had a little bit of a spark for about 31⁄2 minutes,” Fox said. “In this league, that’s not enough” After managing 6 yards passing and two first downs in the first half, Clausen led Carolina on an eight-play, 75-yard drive capped by Stewart’s 1yard TD run to cut the deficit to 10-7. Then, trailing 13-7, Clausen finally found Smith for his first catch of the day on the ensuing possession.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson is eager to see what happens with their grand experiment in free agency. “I think it was quite a surprise to all of us in the NBA that this is what happened,” Jackson said of LeBron James’ decision to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. “(But) you look back at what Wade did prior to free agency, and it’s no surprise. It’s all fair game. Players can go out and recruit, and coaches and GMs can’t. These players obviously wanted to collude together and do this. It’s going to make for a very exciting season.” Jackson smiled after saying “collude” — a word that sets antennae buzzing in Miami, although the Lakers coach didn’t overtly allege any improprieties. He’s looking forward to watching the Heat’s competition in the Eastern Conference against Boston, Orlando and other contenders. “I can see that people will

JUICED FROM 1B the two-time Cy Young Award winner wasn’t satisfied with all the balls he was given. Lincecum had a 3-2 count on Miguel Olivo in the sixth inning when he got a new ball from plate umpire Laz Diaz. Lincecum rubbed up the ball, then threw it back in and asked for a different one. “I thought in the back of my mind, this ball doesn’t feel like it’s a buffed-up ball. It doesn’t feel like the ball I got a couple of balls ago,” Lincecum said Saturday. “In a situation like that you just throw it back and hopefully get a new one, one that feels right.” Lincecum was caught on video saying “juiced ball,” and using an expletive. “When I said it I guess my emotions got the best of me,” he explained. “There’s speculation and I kind of verbalized it and that’s it.” Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said he joked with Lincecum on Saturday about the controversy. “I did see him in the weight room,” Tulowitzki said. “I said, ’C’mon, you just pitched a two-hitter against us. How juiced can the balls be?’ He said some of them feel like they’re big, some of them feel like they’re small. I don’t

NOTES DETROIT — Jeremy Bonderman says he doesn’t expect to pitch for the Detroit Tigers next season. Bonderman said before Detroit’s home finale Sunday against Minnesota that the Tigers have a lot of young pitchers they’ll count on to replace him. Bonderman is 8-9 with a 5.18 ERA in 28 starts. ADENHART UPDATE SANTA ANA, Calif. — A California judge found a man accused of murder in a drunkendriving crash that killed rookie Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others guilty Friday of driving with a suspended license. But the jury is considering the three murder counts and other charges. Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey found defendant Andrew Gallo guilty of the count involving his license after a short bench trial. Gallo had requested the count be severed from the main case and waived his right to a jury trial. Gallo, 23, is accused of drinking for hours with his stepbrother before getting behind the wheel, running a red light and T-boning another car carrying the 22-year-old Adenhart and two others.

Leon Washington stunned San Diego with two kickoff returns for TDs.

Falcons win in OT Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Matt Bryant did what Garrett Hartley could not, drilling a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime to lift the Atlanta Falcons to a 27-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Saints appeared to have a thrilling victory in hand when Drew Brees drove New Orleans deep into Falcons territory to set up a 29-yard field goal in overtime. Instead, Hartley hooked the kick to the left for his third miss this season. Matt Ryan passed for 228 yards and touchdowns of 13 yards to Tony Gonzalez and 22 yards to Roddy White to give the Falcons (2-1) their second straight win. Lance Moore had a pair of TD catches for New Orleans (2-1), including a career-long 80 yarder. He also had a 72-yard punt return to set up Jeremy Shockey’s TD. Seahawks 27, Chargers 20 SEATTLE — Leon Washington returned two second-half kickoffs for touchdowns of 101 and 99 yards, making up for a long list of Seattle mistakes, and giving Seattle the win. Washington took the opening kickoff of the second half 101 yards to give Seattle a 17-0 lead. Phillip Rivers brought the Chargers (1-2) back, tying the game at 20 on a 12-yard throw to Antonio Gates and a 2-point conversion to Legedu Naanee with 6:39 left. Fifteen seconds later, Seattle (2-1) was back in front. Washington got lost in a pile, squirted free and raced 99 yards to give Seattle a 27-20 advantage. Rivers threw for a career-high 455 yards. Cowboys 27, Texans 13 HOUSTON — Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Roy Williams, Marion Barber ran for another score and Dallas got its first win. The Cowboys’ defense got its first three takeaways of the season and held Houston’s top-ranked offense to 340 yards. DeMarcus Ware sacked Matt Schaub three times, and the Dallas secondary limited All-Pro receiver Andre Johnson to four catches for 64 yards. Arian Foster, the NFL’s leading rusher, ran for 106 yards on 17 carries for the Texans (2-1), who were trying for their first 3-0 start. The announced crowd was 71,456, a record for a Texans game at Reliant Stadium. Steelers 38, Buccaneers 13 TAMPA, Fla. — Ben who? Charlie Batch threw for 186 yards and two long touchdowns to Mike Wallace in his first start in nearly three years, helping the Steelers remain unbeaten. Wallace scored on catches of 46 and 41 yards during a stretch where Pittsburgh scored on four straight possessions to build a 28-6 halftime lead. The Steelers improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2007, despite playing without Ben Roethlisberger. Vikings 24, Lions 10 MINNEAPOLIS — Adrian Peterson sped around the corner for a careerlong 80-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, spurring Minnesota to its first win of the season. Brett Favre took all kinds of hard hits in the pocket and threw two interceptions while Minnesota’s passing attack frequently misfired, but Peterson picked up the slack with 160 yards on 23 carries. His game-breaking run around right end put Minnesota up 24-10. Detroit has lost 22 in a row on the road. Colts 27, Broncos 13 DENVER — Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns even without Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon to lead Indianapolis over the grieving Denver. The Broncos (1-2) were playing with heavy hearts following the death of teammate Kenny McKinley. Kyle Orton threw for a career-best 476 yards on 37-of-57 passing and the Broncos outgained the Colts (2-1) by more than 100 yards. But they failed to get into the end zone on five trips inside the 20, settling for two field goals and turning over the ball on downs three times. Colts receiver Austin Collie caught

12 passes for 171 yards and two TDs in place of Garcon (hamstring), and Blair White, playing because Gonzalez has a high ankle sprain, caught a TD pass one day after being promoted from the practice squad. Eagles 28, Jaguars 3 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score for Philadelphia. Vick completed 17 of 31 passes for 291 yards, mostly staying in the pocket and picking apart Jacksonville’s beleaguered secondary. One of the few times he did run, he broke a tackle, juked another defender and scored from 17 yards out. He made coach Andy Reid’s quarterback decision look like the right one. Vick found DeSean Jackson for a 61-yard touchdown and hooked up with Jeremy Maclin for two scores. Jackson finished with five catches for 153 yards, Maclin had four receptions for 83 yards, and the Eagles (2-1) improved to 2-0 with Vick as their starter. Rams 30, Redskins 16 ST. LOUIS — Sam Bradford has his first NFL win. The rookie quarterback threw for 235 yards and a touchdown and backup running back Kenneth Darby had the go-ahead score to help St. Louis end a 14-game home losing streak. Bradford, the No. 1 overall draft pick, was 23 for 37. Cardinals 24, Raiders 23 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Sebastian Janikowski missed a 32-yard field goal as the game ended to allow Arizona to escape in a game littered with mistakes by both teams. The wide-left kick came after a pass interference call against Arizona’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Janikowski missed two others in the game, a 41yarder and a 58-yarder. Both were wide right. LaRod Stephens-Howling returned the opening kickoff 102 yards for a TD for Arizona (2-1) and Derek Anderson threw for two TDs, including an 8yarder to Larry Fitzgerald that proved to be the game winner. Patriots 38, Bills 30 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes, two to Randy Moss, and New England topped Buffalo for the 14th straight time. First-round draft pick C.J. Spiller scored his first NFL touchdowns on a 5-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick and a 95-yard kickoff return. But Buffalo’s last chance faded when Fitzpatrick — who started in place of Trent Edwards — threw an interception to Brandon Meriweather with 3 minutes left. Chiefs 31, 49ers 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel’s three touchdown passes included a trick play that caught San Francisco flat-footed and surprising Kansas City remained unbeaten with the win over San Francisco (0-3). After starting 0-4 a year ago and winning only 10 games the previous three seasons combined, the Chiefs are 3-0 for the first time since 2003. Ravens 24, Browns 17 BALTIMORE — Anquan Boldin caught three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and Baltimore rallied for the win. Boldin made himself right at home in Baltimore, catching eight passes for 142 yards. After a career-high four interceptions last week in a loss to Cincinnati, Flacco went 22 for 31 for 262 yards without an interception. He had six turnovers in his first two games. Titans 29, Giants 10 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chris Johnson ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns, Vince Young threw for a TD and the Tennessee defense forced three turnovers by New York. Jets 31, Dolphins 23 MIAMI — Benched at the start because of a drunken-driving arrest, Braylon Edwards Edwards turned a short pass into a 67-yard touchdown. Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes for the second week in a row, and the Jets forged a three-way tie atop the AFC East with the Dolphins and Patriots. All are 2-1.

Osgood-Schlatter possible cause of ‘growing pains’ Dear Dr. Gott: I wonder why you didn’t mention OsgoodSchlatter disease in your column about growing pains. Our son, who is now 38, had this condition when he was 12 and had to have both legs (one at a time) put into a cast for two months. Dear Reader: O s g o o d (OS) DR. PETER Schlatter causes a GOTT painful lump below the kneecap (where the tendon attaches to the shinbone) in some children. It results from growth spurts during puberty and typically occurs in children who participate in sports that involve jumping, running and swift changes in direction. OS was more common in boys in the past, but as more girls become active in sports, this gap is narrowing. It affects about one in five adolescent athletes. Because puberty occurs at different ages between genders, OS commonly affects girls around age 11 or 12 and boys around age 13 or 14. Symptoms of OS include tightness of the muscles around the knee, especially the thigh muscles; pain, swelling and/or tenderness of the uppermost portion of the shinbone, just below the kneecap; and knee pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. The cause of OS is repeated stress. Children have growth plates at the ends of bones, which are made of cartilage. These growth plates are not as strong as bone, and

recurrent stress can cause injury. When the tendon that holds the kneecap in place is pulled constantly, it can begin to separate from the bone. In some cases, the body may try to bridge the gap by building more bone, causing a tender lump. Osgood-Schlatter typically improves without treatment and disappears once the bones stop growing. In the meantime, if the swelling and pain become truly bothersome, over-the-counter antiinflammatory medications or pain relievers may be used. Rest is also important to prevent further injury. In some cases, this may include wrapping the knee or discontinuing or reducing the offending activity. In some instances, physical therapy or strengthening exercises may be beneficial. Home treatments include stretching, ice, rest and even switching to different activities that don’t involve running or jumping until symptoms resolve. 

Dear Dr. Gott: My mother is 63 and doesn’t take anticoagulants or OTC pain relievers but bruises for no apparent reason. An area of her body will begin to itch and then bruise. The bruise follows the normal course of color change and then disappears. Her eye doctor saw “floaters” in her eye and sent her to a specialist because he thought she had a detached retina. After testing, it was discovered her “floaters” were flecks of blood. She read in one of your previous columns that rutin could help with bruising. Since starting it, her eyes

have improved, but bruises still appear on her body. Her physician does not take her seriously. Do you have idea or suggestions about what could be going on? Dear Reader: Your mother needs to undergo thorough testing and examination. Is she on any over-the-counter medications, supplements or herbals other than the rutin? Does she have any other health concerns or conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes? If her doctor is unwilling to look into this, it is time to find a new one. You might begin with a referral to a hematologist (blood specialist), who can test her for possible underlying causes, such as a clotting disorder.

Open up the chatter lines BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

English chemist and clergyman Joseph Priestley, who died in 1804, said, “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Today communication is much easier than in Priestley’s time and, despite his theory, we communicate more. I even see people talking on cell phones while jogging. In bridge, communication plays have been covered in the literature, but some still elude the less experienced player. What should South do here? He is in five clubs, and West leads the heart jack. North’s two-club response was an inverted minor-suit raise, showing at least five clubs and 10

American wins dumplings at karaoke worlds MOSCOW (AP) — A technician for an American telephone company has won the top prize of 1 million Russian dumplings in the Karaoke World Championships. Edward Pimentel won the unusual prize early Sunday in Moscow after getting the most votes from audience members. A panel of judges chose two Finns as the male and female champions.

points, but denying a fourcard major. (This is a recommended convention because it saves bidding space when you need room to discuss strain and level.) South’s two-diamond rebid showed that he had that

suit covered. North’s twoheart bid was also stoppershowing. South raised hearts in case partner liked the idea of game in the 4-3 fit. (Four hearts is defeated only by a trump lead.) North returned to four clubs, and because South had a singleton spade, he chose five clubs. If South starts by drawing two rounds of trumps, East can win the first spade trick and cash his top club, leaving declarer with only 10 tricks. Since the deal is set up for a crossruff, South should concede a spade trick immediately, opening up the communication lines to his hand with spade ruffs. Declarer wins the return, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes major-suit winners, and ruffs dummy’s low spades in his hand.
