Cohen dies at 83 Longtime county commissioners chairman leaves legacy in Rowan

Declining revenue leads to employee layoffs

BY JESSIE BURCHETTE For the Salisbury Post

J. Newton Cohen Sr. died at home early Tuesday morning surrounded by family and friends, ending a 20-year struggle with heart disease. He had been in Hospice care for the past several months, but still managed an occasional outing to his heating and air conditioning business on Jake Alexander Boulevard or a political forum. His last trip was to Huffman’s on Goodman Lake Road to get fresh peaches. His daughter, Robin, a registered nurse who has served as his primary caregiver for the past year, said she tried to dissuade her father from the outing, given his failing health. He was determined. Former county commissioner and friend Arnold Chamberlain drove them to Huffman’s. “He had a thing for fresh peaches,” Chamberlain said. Since Cohen left the board of commissioners in 2000, and as his health worsened, Chamberlain had spent more time with him — taking him for occasional outings including a candidate’s forum before the May primary. Chamberlain often spent hours at Cohen’s home, sitting, talking and sometimes singing. Cohen still had his wits about him. After a lengthy session of singing to him, Chamberlain asked if he wanted to hear more singing. “No,” replied Cohen. Cohen was well-known around the county for his 16 years on the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, his politicking for himself and others. When election season rolled around, Cohen became a familiar sight around the county, dressed in worn overalls, driving an old red Dodge pickup and putting up campaign signs. In recent years, Cohen’s almost constant companion in the small pickup had been his Weimaraner, Tinkerbell. The long-eared dog sitting upright beside Cohen had sparked more than few questions about who the woman was riding around with him. Tinkerbell stayed by Cohen’s bedside or lay on the bed with him as his health waned. As his health deteriorated, Cohen rediscovered the beauty of nature. A lifelong Scouting enthusiast, he spent much of his early years outside. He raced a hydroplane — a racing boat — up and down the east coast in his early years, winning trophies. On good days, Cohen would sit on the deck and look at his lawn, often talking about how good it looked. And when Robin took him to appointments, he would look at the sky and marvel at the clouds. “It was like he was seeing it the first

Over the last three years, membership at the Rowan County YMCA has declined by nearly 3,000, and revenue has fallen along with that number. That drop in revenue — the Y has about $200,000 less to work with than it did this time last year — has forced the nonprofit to cut staff and consolidate jobs, CEO Jamie Morgan said. But Morgan said the Y has maintained services. And that means it still funds memberships for people who want to join but can’t pay. That’s partly why membership has increased since December. At the end of August, the Y had 17,367 members, up from 16,125 in December 2009, Morgan said. But it’s still far fewer than the 20,132 who were members in January 2007 and 19,609 in January 2008. And with the recession forcing more people to give up their Y memberships or ask for financial assistance, even the increase in the rolls this year hasn’t spared the agency from cost-cutting. “We are trying to adjust, to be flexible,” Morgan said this week. “It’s forced us to operate differently, with a smaller staff.” The agency has been going through tough times since the summer of 2008, Morgan said. The first wave of layoffs came in 2008 and more employees were let go this month. When the job cuts started, the Y had 40 full-time employees. It now has 25. He said some employees have been let go, while others’ positions were not filled when they left for other jobs. Morgan said while the job losses were unavoidable, the Y aims to “do the same with less.” “Right now we have not had to cut services. We try to focus on our core programs. A lot of our staff is having to take on more responsibility,” he said.

A wreath was hung on one of the columns in front of the J.Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building on West Innes Street Tuesday.

J. Newton Cohen Sr. leaves a legacy of county buildings, facilities and services. Cohen, who died at 83 early Tuesday morning, leaves a greater legacy as a man who did battle in local politics, most often won, and was always a gentleman. People who served with him on the Rowan County Board of Commissioners during his 16 years remember his quiet leadership, his efforts to build consensus and his determination to save tax dollars. Carl Ford, current chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, praised Cohen as a great leader with great demeanor. He recalled how honored and appreciative Cohen was when the

WOODLEAF — The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s office is investigating a barn fire that killed four horses early Tuesday morning. Firefighters responded to the blaze at 1815 Wetmore Road at about 3:30 a.m., arriving at the scene to find nearly half of the structure in flames. County Fire Marshal Tom Murphy said firefighters were able to save one horse from the stable. “That horse was in an end stall away from where the fire started,” Woodleaf Fire Chief Artie Watson said. Investigators reported the fire started in the tack room before spreading throughout the 40-by-60-foot building. “It’s still standing, most of it, but it’s destroyed 100 percent,” Watson said. No foul play is believed to be involved in the incident. “We haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause,” Murphy said. No one was injured in the blaze. Watson said firefighters extinguished the blaze in about 30 minutes. Woodleaf, Cleveland, Scotch-Irish and Locke fire departments responded to the scene. They received assistance from two Davie County fire departments, Cooleemee and Jerusalem. The barn is owned by Tim and Woody Brown. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

some jobs in the future.” Warren said the state’s Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Commissions, tourism industry and hospitality industry need to work together to market the state. Reduced taxes, he said, will make new companies want to come here. He also questioned the bill Coates mentioned, saying it wouldn’t be beneficial without a better business climate. “Nobody hires somebody for a tax credit,” Warren said. “They hire people because their business and services are in demand, and they need an extra pair of hands.” Another question asked if candidates thought every citizen in North Carolina should have access to broadband capabilities, even if municipalities are the ones to provide it. Salisbury is in the process of setting up its own fiber-optic service provider, Fibrant. Warren said he doesn’t think broadband Internet access is a right, but rather a privilege and a luxury. He said municipalities should not get involved in the business just because the private sector won’t in some places. “The reason the private

said. “This would up our graduation rate without costing money.” The candidates also were asked what they would do to improve education in the county and state. Coates said she has taught in every school in her district, and through that she has seen first-hand the issues that need to be addressed. She said that the state needs to do more to support its teachers. Warren said more funding needs to go to the classroom and less to administration. He said he supports tagging funding to the student and taking the cap off charter schools. The candidates were also asked what they thought the state could do to help lower Rowan County’s unemployment rate. Coates said the General Assembly recently passed a bill that would give $34 million in tax credits to small businesses who hire new employees. She said this would affect 125,000 businesses in North Carolina. “Also, I have worked with our economic developer, Robert Van Geons, and we have had some companies coming to Rowan County,” Coates said. “It’s a slow turnaround, but hopefully we’ll see

Rowan County District Attorney candidates Karen Biernacki — currently an assistant district attorney for Rowan County — and Brandy Cook — currently Cabarrus County’s district attorney — faced off Tuesday night during a candidate forum at Catawba College. The forum, sponsored by Catawba College, the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce and the Salisbury Post, began with a question about Rowan’s District Attorney Office only having 71 percent of what is needed in terms of staffing. Each candidate was asked what they would do to address the deficiency. “There is no doubt that we have a lack of resources here in Rowan County,” Cook said, adding that some district attorney’s offices across the state are overstaffed. Cook promised to approach the county commissioners to see if they will give the district attorney’s office any additional funding for staff. “I will drive to Raleigh to ask the Administrative Office of the Courts for resources since we are so deficient,” she said. Cook, who said she has experience writing grants, also wants to pursue available grants through the Governor’s Crime Commission. Biernacki said she will attempt to lobby the Administrative Office of the Courts, but, “you can’t get blood out of a turnip,” she said. “The grant money has dried up federally. For the past 14 years we have labored in this county and done much more with much less.” Biernacki said the resources in the district attorney’s offices across the state have not been equal. “Bottom line is, the Administrative Office of the Courts has taken notice of this inequity now,” she said.

on the criminal record. Biernacki said that she also leads Rowan’s office in prosecuting habitual felons, and as soon as they come into the district attorney’s office, a criminal record is run, and they are flagged as habitual felons. “I’ve tried at least seven habitual felons and gotten convictions on those,” she said, adding that Cabarrus County does not indict an offender as a habitual felon. “(Habitual felons) have not learned their lesson, and they’re not going to,” she said. Both Biernacki and Cook were asked what qualities and characteristics they will seek in finding the best attorneys for assistant district attorney. “I believe that you are only as good as the people that work for you,” Cook said. “In turn you have to treat them well.” Cook said the state doesn’t pay enough for what assistant district attorneys are worth, and that it is a lot of hard work. “I will assure that citizens of Rowan County that I will recruit and keep the best assistant district attorneys that I possibly can here and

N.C. Rep. Lorene Coates, a Democrat representing District 77, and Republican challenger Harry Warren participated in a candidate forum at Catawba College Tuesday.

“We should have 1.6 assistant district attorneys helping to prosecute the crushing case loads we have in this office.” Biernacki added that Rowan’s office should also have three additional administrative positions. For a while, Biernacki said, “things are going to be status quo.” Candidates were also asked how they handled the smaller “stepping stone” crimes. Biernacki said the stepping stone crimes, such as the smaller vandalism and misdemeanor larceny crimes, are already planned out by the state’s general statutes, and that unless the accused is a repeat offender, they will receive probationary sentences. “The majority of the time judges are going to put them on probation,” she said. “You can’t lock up everyone in prison. We don’t do that in this office, and I don’t intend to do that in this office.” However, Biernacki said if someone is a repeat offender, and has proven he or she isn’t going to turn their lives around, they will go to prison. Cook said she believed every case in this community to be important. “We will prosecute each case aggressively,” she said. “One of (my) priorities will be targeting the repeat offenders — especially the repeat offenders that take up our resources.” Another topic discussed involved the district attorney’s office working with the Sheriff’s Office to ensure that repeat offenders receive maximum sentences. Cook said her goal will be for the officers to target the habitual felons, and said she will continue to prosecute habitual felons as she has in the past. “I believe very strongly in sending repeat offenders to prison,” she said, and said assistant district attorneys will screen the cases based on the evidence and based

Two candidates for N.C. House District 77 discussed a variety of topics, from education to immigration, at a forum Tuesday at Catawba College. N.C. Rep. Lorene Coates, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Harry Warren participated in the candidate forum, sponsored by the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce and the Salisbury Post. Michael Bitzer, associate professor of political science and history at Catawba, served as moderator. He asked about a dozen questions, some submitted by Post readers, of both candidates. One asked what two pieces of legislation the candidates would introduce in the next year that would directly benefit Rowan County. Warren, 60, is a human resource specialist for Tar Heel C a p i t a l Corp., a Wendy’s franchise. He said he would introduce a complete revision of the tax code and a requirement for zero-based budgeting. “If we had zero-based budgeting, that would force every agency and department to do a line-by-line review of every program instead of just feeding it,” he said. Coates, 74, who is seeking her sixth term in the N.C. House of Representatives, said she is working on two bills already. One, which was requested by Rowan County commissioners, would raise the homestead exemption for totally disabled veterans from $45,000 to $65,000. Another would require schools with a graduation rate under 60 percent for the past three years to offer career technical education. “Here in Rowan County where it is offered, the graduation rate goes from 70 percent to 89.4 percent,” Coates

500 jobs coming to Davidson County Gov. Bev Perdue announced Tuesday that TIMCO Aerosystems will bring up to 500 jobs to northeastern Davidson County when it opens a passenger seat manufacturing operation in the town of Wallburg. The company, which a press released described as one of the largest providers of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services in the world, will create 275 jobs over the next five years and invest $2.75 million at a former Tyco Electronics plant. Employment could expand to 500 within seven years with total investment of $5 million, the company said. While individual wages will vary by job function, the overall average wage for the new jobs is $34,728, not including benefits. That is higher than the county average of $29,640 in Davidson County, the press release said. Davidson County and Wallburg officials are meeting tonight to discuss $1.5 million in incentives for the company. The state has already approved a $200,000 grant and nearly $1.8 million in tax rebates tied to job creation. “Creating jobs is my number one priority, and TIMCO Aerosystems decision to open its East Coast manufacturing operation in North Carolina is a big win,” Perdue said in the press release. “By expanding its stake in the state, TIMCO has demonstrated that our own investments in education, worker training, aerospace and infrastructure have paid off. “We have created the kind of business climate and workforce that is attracting new companies and encouraging the ones that are here to grow,” Perdue said. The TIMCO group currently employs 1,182 people in Greensboro. TIMCO Aerosystems, a unit of TIMCO Aviation Services, makes airplane parts including galley systems, lavatories and seating.The Wallburg plant will engineer and manufacture interior components, including the company’s FeatherWeight fuel-saving products. “We undertook a comprehensive assessment of various locations around the country for the expanded facilities,” Kevin Carter, CoCEO of TIMCO, said in the press release. He said the company, along with local and state government and education officials, “recognized the opportunity before us and really worked hard with our team on a compelling plan to take advantage of something that doesn’t come along frequently in the aerospace industry.” For more information about TIMCO, including job opportunities, visit www.timco.aero.

Gibson charged with resisting arrest again A Salisbury woman whose November 2009 charge of resisting arrest generated controversy was arrested this week on the same charge — by the same police officer. Salisbury Police Officer Mark Hunter also charged Felicia Gibson with disorderly conduct after trying to cite her for parking on the wrong side of the street, according to a Salisbury Police Department report. Gibson, 29, of 819 W. Fisher St., was placed under $500 bond. According to the police report, Hunter was citing Gibson around 8 p.m. Monday for “parking left of center” at 819 W. Fisher St., her residence, and as he handed her the ticket, she cursed at him. Police say Gibson initially physically resisted the arrest, but soon complied. “Minimal force was used while conducting the arrest,” the police report says. GIBSON In 2009, Hunter charged Gibson with resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer after she refused to go inside her house as he made a traffic stop on her street. Hunter testified in court that other people watching the arrest complied with his order to return to their homes, but Gibson — who was recording the incident on video — did not. A District Court judge found Gibson guilty in August. Gibson’s attorney said she planned to appeal. The case became the focal point of an Aug. 24 march down Main Street by a group called Citizens for Justice.

After breaking his hip, Walter Hood is now able to walk again B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Walter Hood has no memory of the day more than two years ago that changed his life. It was February 2008 and he was helping wife Liz take groceries into the house. He fell off the front steps backward and would later discover he’d broken his hip. That broken hip would spiral him into a period of hospitalization, rehabilitation, a stroke, memory loss and finally the road to recovery. “It’s been two and a half years of hell, but it’s also been two and a half years of heaven,” Liz said. Hood, a retired Catawba College art professor, is best known as a muralist whose works are featured at the Salisbury Mall, the library at Catawba College and abroad. “We didn’t think it was broken at the time,” Liz said. When Walter fell, Liz had plans later that night and he insisted she attend. The pain became unbearable and Walter was later taken to the hospital. Two days after falling, he was in surgery having a total hip replacement. He spent a couple of weeks in the hospital and, while there, doctors discovered Walter had suffered a small stroke.

City officials reveal plan for eastern gateway B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com

Salisbury’s eastern gateway should remain mostly residential, with commercial activity focused at major intersections, a city planner recommended Tuesday. But Preston Mitchell also suggested the Planning Board support new and different development along the northern side of East Innes Street, including office and institutional use, as well as higher density housing. Mitchell, who presented the proposed Eastern Gateway Area Plan to the board, recommended rehabilitating homes no longer wanted for residential purposes. Developers could turn them into smallscale offices along Faith Road and East Innes Street, Mitchell said. Three residents who live in the area agreed with the proposed plan. “I feel like it’s a whole lot better to see the property rezoned and go business,” said Jeff Cline, who owns a rental home at 1910 E. Innes St.

Cline said he’s wanted to rezone his property for years so he can sell it. Several other homeowners in the area want to do the same, he said. “I think it would help the whole neighborhood,” Cline said, by lowering crime rates and eliminating some problem rental housing. The plan recommends rezoning property like Cline’s from urban-residential to residential-mixed use, which includes office, light retail and all types of residential. Mary Arey owns a business located at Faith Road and Woody Avenue. “The area is ready for further development and improvement,” she said. “It’s been in decline.” Arey served on the advisory committee that helped develop the eastern gateway plan. She said she was “very pleased” and anxious to see it approved. The Planning Board sent the 62-page policy document to committee for review. If the Planning Board endorses it, the plan would

go before City Council for final approval. Guy Fisher, who also served on the advisory committee, spoke in favor of a proposed greenway that would run along Crane Creek. A church owns the property and would have to agree to the greenway, Mitchell said. The eastern gateway is a large, 850-acre area located east of downtown and bound by I-85, Stokes Ferry Road and the railroad tracks along Morlan Park Road. If the city eventually adopts the Eastern Gateway Area Plan, the document would guide the Planning Board’s recommendations to City Council regarding the appropriateness of zoning changes and development requests within the eastern community. Property owners and developers could consult the plan when deciding how to develop property, and prospective home buyers could use it to help decide where to buy a home, Mitchell said. If passed, the plan would not rezone or annex any land, he said.

CRIME ROUNDUP Rockwell man charged with DWI after hitting two cars A Rockwell man faces charges after authorities say he was driving drunk and struck two occupied cars while dropping off his child at Morgan Elementary School. Justin Dwayne Harwood, 31, of 504 Cannon St., was charged with driving while impaired and possession of drug paraphernalia after the Friday morning incident. Harwood’s child was in his car when he hit the other two vehicles, and children were in both of those cars, a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report said. No injuries were reported. The Sheriff’s Office released the report Tuesday. Police say additional charges are possible.

Two charged for being drunk at fair Authorities cited a woman and her 16-year-old stepdaughter after they say both were drunk at the Rowan County Fair. According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, 16-year-old Jaime Nicole Theiss was carrying a water bottle and was obviously impaired. When officers checked the bottle, they noticed a strong odor of alcohol and gave Theiss a breathalyzer test. She blew a 0.24, three times the legal limit for an adult. Her stepmother, Kimberly Schmidt, 42, was walking with Theiss. As they spoke to officers, the report said, Schmidt admitted to driving to the fair while drinking a cup of cranberry juice and vodka. Officers gave Schmidt a breathalyzer test, and she blew a 0.10. Authorities cited Schmidt for driving after consuming and possession of an open container. They cited Theiss for consuming liquor and underage consumption of alcohol. Schmidt and Theiss were

released to the custody of a sober, older friend. The two live together at 314 Red Acres Road in Salisbury. The Sheriff’s Office released the report Tuesday.

Man beat up by group of people A man attending a party at the 1440 Club on North Long Street told Salisbury Police he was beaten by a group of 30 to 40 men early Saturday morning. Saye Dolo Memakeh, 30, told police he went to Rowan Regional Medical Center for injuries. Memakeh told police he had no idea why the men attacked him or who participated. He said the group of men began beating him and hit him on the head with a glass liquor bottle. Memakeh was treated for injuries at Rowan Regional Medical Center and was later released. Memakeh later reported to police that his wallet and cell phone were missing. Police say they do not believe a 4 a.m. fight on East Bank Street was related to the fight at the 1440 Club.

Man arrested in Texas on local molestation charges Authorities arrested a man Aug. 30 in Houston, Texas who was wanted on a child molestation charge in Rowan County. Jose Luis Espinoza, 27, formerly of 122 Town Court, Salisbury, was charged with indecent liberties with a child in November 2009. Salisbury Police said family members of the 11-yearold victim reported the incident after the child told them about it in 2009. The crime is alleged to have taken place in 2007. Salisbury Police said Detective Brent Hall has been investigating the whereabouts of Espinoza since November, when Espinoza was entered as a fugitive from justice. Espinoza was placed under $1,500 bond and has an Oct. 7 court date.

Official wants feds to tackle bedbug resurgence RALEIGH (AP) — One North Carolina official is calling in the cavalry in the fight against bloodsucking bedbugs. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is calling on the federal Environmental Protection Agency to fast-track pesticides for use against the creatures. DDT nearly wiped out the pests 50 years ago but is no longer used in the U.S. And

other pesticides have been less effective. Last year, Ohio officials asked for the approval of a new kind of pesticide for use in homes against bedbugs. But the EPA has not yet given its permission. In the last two months, bedbug infestations have been found on three university campuses in North Carolina and in a barracks room at Camp Lejeune.

PLAN FROM 3a “This is a policy document and guide for the future,” he said. The plan would serve as a tool for improving city services and infrastructure in the area, he said. The city went to the community in January 2009 to create the document from the bottom up, Mitchell said. “We went to the community first empty-handed,” he said. City staffers had no plan, suggestions or preconceived notions, he said. “We asked the community to dump all desires and concerns onto us,” he said. Nearly 50 people attended the “visioning session,” and about 30 came to a follow-up meeting a few months later. Using their suggestions, Mitchell devised a plan that he said would preserve the character and atmosphere of the neighborhoods while in-

CONTINUED creasing the variety of commercial choices available to residents. The plan calls for more sidewalks, street lights, parks and bus stops. More code enforcement would improve the appearance and function of primary corridors and commercial areas, and traffic improvements would cut congestion. Every concern expressed at community meetings is addressed in the document, Mitchell said. For example, while most residents encouraged rezoning along Faith Road, some were concerned about unchecked development, he said. Focus the more intensive commercial activity at existing nodes, including Jake Alexander Boulevard and Faith Road and Jake Alexander Boulevard and Stokes Ferry Road, as well as the Avalon Drive area, Mitchell said. Elsewhere, development should consist of adaptive

reuse of existing structures, “not tearing them down,” he said. While residents asked for a traffic signal at Morlan Park Road and Jake Alexander Boulevard, the plan instead recommends a “leftover” median. This technique would prevent traffic on Morlan Park Road from going straight or turning left onto Jake Alexander Boulevard, Mitchell said. Some Planning Board members said they might want the community to review the document again before endorsing it. Mitchell said he could organize another meeting and already had planned to invite the community when City Council eventually takes up the issue. The document would be updated every five years, he said. To view the proposed plan: http://www.salisburync.gov/ planningboard/pbfrontpage. html.

The percentage of those under age 19 in the state classified as uninsured fell from 9.9 percent to 8.7 percent, the bureau said. North Carolina was one of 17 states that saw a decrease. More children nationwide qualified for public health insurance because the children’s poverty rate grew. The 2009 federal stimulus law and reauthorization of the federal-state health insurance program for children of low-income parents also likely raised the enrollment in public plans, the Census Bureau said.

RALEIGH (AP) — The percentage of North Carolina residents living in poverty grew in 2009 in keeping with the national economic downturn, while the number of insured children actually increased, the U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday in releasing state-bystate data. The bureau estimated through its American Community Survey that 16.3 percent of all North Carolina residents, or roughly 1.5 million people, had income last year below the poverty threshold. The level for a family of four was $22,050 for 2009. In 2008, the state’s poverty rate was 14.6 percent, or more than 1.3 million people. The North Carolina Justice Center, an advocacy group for the poor, argues the poverty rate will keeping rising unless Congress extends unemployment benefits and job training for the poor in the federal stimulus package. The General Assembly also can help when it reconvenes in January. It can extend child-care subsidies and reform the tax system so the state can tap into revenues gained by the expanding service economy and by reducing corporate tax breaks. “The economic hardship that families are facing is most often mitigated by a public system that serves working families,” said Alexandra Forter-Sirota, a policy analyst

Robbery suspects shot dead by NC Pizza Hut worker CHARLOTTE (AP) — Police say a North Carolina pizza restaurant worker being herded toward a cooler pulled a gun and shot and killed two robbers. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that police were searching for a third man who got away from an east Charlotte Pizza Hut restaurant. Authorities say the robbers burst through the restaurant’s front door late Monday as two workers were cleaning up in the back. Investigators say the suspects ordered the two employees into a walk-in cooler, then started beating one of the men. The other employee pulled a handgun and opened fire. Police say they found two handguns near the dead suspects. Their names have not been released. No charges have been filed against the armed employee.

UNCW names Howey interim athletic director WILMINGTON (AP) — North Carolina-Wilmington once again has named Pat Howey as its interim athletic director. School officials said Tuesday that Howey would fill in for Kelly Mehrtens. She resigned one day earlier, effective immediately. Howey is the university’s deputy athletic director who has been at UNC Wilmington since 1985. She served as the interim AD before Mehrtens was hired in 2007. School officials said they plan to begin a national search for Mehrtens’ permanent replacement.

Walter has progressed from being bedridden to being pushed in a wheelchair to pushing himself in the wheelchair and then to a walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is more functional to get out of the house and on different surfaces,â&#x20AC;? Weddington said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to get in the yard and enjoy the trees and things he planted when he was younger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was huge,â&#x20AC;? she said. The goal is to get Walter around with minimal assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can go down any steps and into his studio. He can walk and stand for some period of time,â&#x20AC;? Weddington said. Small things brought joy to the therapist, such as when Walter was able to walk to his studio for the first time in two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my favorite days was when he was in his studio,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Liz taught Spanish at North Hills Christian School but had to resign to take care of her husband. Her students came up with the idea to hold a softball tournament that raised more than $2,100 to help with Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical expenses. A friend of the couple wrote them a $5,000 check to help with doctor bills. Others brought the couple food and restaurant gift cards so Liz wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to cook. The kind acts they were shown came at a time when they needed it most and all in one week. It was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jehovah-jirehâ&#x20AC;? (God will provide) week, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord has let there be some really incredible things,â&#x20AC;? Liz said. Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance is better and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even returned to painting. His studio behind the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home is no longer a mountain he must trek, but a mere pathway to what he loves. The journey has been long, Liz said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the Lord has been gracious.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just turned 82,â&#x20AC;? Walter said. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

Soon, a speech therapist started working with Walter to help him swallow food again. Along with exercises to get him moving, there were exercises for his mouth to get his throat moving. Liz even had Walter speaking German because of the throaty mechanism used to pronounce the words. Walter eventually had the feeding tube removed. Liz said it was her Christmas present. Liz doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny she was pushy. She was persistent and not willing to give up on her husband, even when others advised her to put Walter in a nursing home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on duty 24-7 since Feb. 9, 2008,â&#x20AC;? she said. She credits her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved health to the staff at Gentiva. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They saved my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. They sent him a phenomenal therapist,â&#x20AC;? Liz said. Nell Weddington, a Gentiva physical therapist, began working with Walter, who complained of dizziness while walking. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a therapist for 38 years and with Gentiva for a year this November. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with athletes and NASCAR as well as nursing home patients. At first, Walter walked on his tiptoes because he could not straighten his leg. His joint was not moving beyond itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range, meaning his muscle tissue was shortened. Weddington used therapeutic ultrasound to lengthen his muscle tissues. Therapy began with Walter walking on a foam pad until he could place his feet flat on the floor. He eventually was able to walk around the house assisted and then on his own, she said.

Dorie Greenspan: French food and flaming kitchens BY MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press

few pecans. A sprinkle of Armagnac. Why not? Dorie Greenspan thought. A bottom-rung baker in a chichi New York kitchen, Greenspan was bored making the same cake day after day, and decided substituting pecans and Armagnac for almonds and whiskey in the restaurant’s signature confection would shake things up. It was such a success she was called into the boss’ office at the end of the day. And fired. “She fired me for ‘creative insubordination,’ ” Greenspan says. “Now, as a grown-up, I think that’s a good thing to be, creatively insubordinate. At the time, it made me miserable.” The best-selling cookbook author made her name by writing about the recipes of masters like Julia Child, Daniel Boulud and French pastry chef Pierre Herme with near-papal infallibility. But today Greenspan has put her voice — a wry, anecdotal style that has won her legions of fans — and her own creative vision first. “Around My French Table,” her 10th and latest cookbook, is fullfrontal Greenspan, a companion to her 2007 James Beard award winner, “Baking from My Home to Yours.” The new book marks a shift in her identity from baker to all-around cook, and captures the glamour of her life as a part-time Parisian. “It’s the essence of Dorie’s personality and of everything she loves,” says Bon Appetit editor-inchief Barbara Fairchild, a friend for nearly two decades. “Her writing has always been very, very good. But over the years it’s become more personal. Her personality comes through now more than ever.” And there’s more of that to come. For her next book — to be released in 2013 — Greenspan will apprentice with master chefs and use what she learns to create yet more of her own recipes. Greenspan leads the kind of charmed existence you only get by having saved a boatload of orphans in a previous life. From her home base in Manhattan, she spends a few months a year in Paris, and now and then visits her house in Connecticut. She has worked elbow-to-elbow with Jean-Georges Vongericheten, Alain Ducasse and, of course, Child. She has cooked for Jacques Pepin, and had Herme over for Thanksgiving. She counts illustrious food writers like Patricia Wells, Alexander Lobrano and David Lebovitz as friends. And though she’s unknown to Food Network junkies and celebrity chef groupies, Greenspan is one of the best-recognized names in the cookbook world with a low-key but loyal fan base that has devoted entire blogs to cooking from her books. Plus, she’s really, really nice. “She is a very thoughtful person,” says Laurie Woodward, a 33-

year-old stay-at-home mother of three who created “Tuesdays With Dorie,” a blog devoted to making the more than 230 recipes in “Baking From My Home to Yours.” “She really appreciates that everyone cooks from her books, and she’s been very supportive of the group. If you e-mail her she emails you back within 10 minutes.” “Tuesdays with Dorie” has about 200 members, some of whom will wait more than a year for their turn to bake. But Woodward’s next project, “French Fridays with Dorie,” already has signed up nearly 700 people to cook from the new book. Why such devotion? “Her books become like a friend in the kitchen,” Woodward says. “Her style is so familiar. It’s like your grandma in the kitchen with you telling you what to do.” Not bad for a woman whose cooking career could have ended in seventh grade, when she burned down her mother’s newly renovated kitchen. She didn’t touch a stove again until she had to, as a young bride. In a kitchen no bigger than a closet, Greenspan learned to cook from books. And discovered that she loved it. “I was a passionate, crazy, obsessed home cook and baker,” she says. A brief turn in restaurant kitchens (and the infamous pecans-and-Armagnac incident) convinced Greenspan that she wasn’t made for restaurant life, and she turned to writing. She landed her first magazine piece in the 1980s by sending Food and Wine editors a basket of delectable truffles and tarts. More pieces followed. And then books. A book about pancakes. A book about sweets. Three small books, and then the jackpot: the best-selling “Baking with Julia,” a companion to the public television series, which put Greenspan on the culinary map. “I never could have expected I would have this life,” Greenspan says. “But I also feel like I always say ‘yes.’ Saying ‘yes’ has really been part of my being able to have this amazingly lucky life.” But it hasn’t been all luck. Greenspan is known for the precision and eminent readability of her recipes. She often gesticulates above her keyboard to figure out how best to describe a kneading or mixing technique, and tests each recipe multiple times before turning it over to professionals. “She’s very, very concerned about details,” says Herme, France’s most famous pastry chef, whom Greenspan calls her “friend and mentor in all things sweet.” “When she writes a recipe she bakes it once, twice, three times, just to make sure the person reading will be able to do the recipe.” “She is a very great cook and great pastry chef,” Herme adds. “But when you tell this to her, she says “No, no, no, I’m nothing.’ When I make some compliment, she hates that.” Like cooking, Paris was love at

Best-selling cookbook author Dorie Greenspan made her name by writing about the recipes of masters like Julia Child, Daniel Boulud and French pastry chef Pierre Herme with near-papal infallibility. first sight. After a brief, budgetconscious trip as a newlywed Greenspan devoted her life to going back as often as possible — and to one day having a home there. “I had ideas about Paris, I’d seen movies,” she says. “But I could not have predicted that I would have reacted this way. Nothing had ever hit me like that, and nothing has hit me like that since.” A little more than a decade ago, Greenspan and her husband, Michael, finally found a flat in the Left Bank. “This was a charming apartment right across from the Church of St.-Germain-Des-Pres, the heart of the most romantic, the most written-about part of Paris,” she says. “It was an amazing place to be.” With one tiny drawback.

“It didn’t have an oven,” she says. A baker with no oven? “I couldn’t bake,” she says. “But what you can do on two burners with a Dutch oven is amazing.” Apparently you can do creamy mushroom soup with white wine and chives; chicken tagine sweetened with saffron and prunes; and a springtime veal stew laced with arugula and spinach. And you can serve them on your French table, which, if you’re Greenspan, is always groaning with food and people. “Dorie will tell you when she invites you that eight people are coming, and then she ends up inviting 14,” Fairchild says. “Somehow, magically 14 people ap-

pear. But there’s always enough food.” Greenspan is blunt that her new recipes are not classically French, that they are her specific take on Paris, a thoroughly modern interpretation of what real Parisians are really cooking today. Which makes her a bit like Child, who translated the ways of French cooking for an earlier generation of Americans. Of course, Greenspan is wary of putting herself in such grand company. “This is my view,” Greenspan insists. “This is my little personal world. I think this is food that anybody would love, that Julia would love. She loved knowing what’s new. But it’s definitely French. Today’s French.”

Apples and cream often signal that a dish is from Normandy, Dorie Greenspan says in her new cookbook, “Around My French Table”(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010). The west-ofParis region is known for its apples and for its dairy products, including butter, cream, Camembert and creme fraiche. Pork also works well in this recipe.

6 delicious tips to celebrate fall

• Creative icing. I’ve found that candy corn, MARY an October faHUNT vorite in my household, makes great icing. I add a few drops of water to a bowl of the candy. Then I microwave it and stir often until it reaches a smooth consistency. I drizzle the icing over banana bread, spice cake, muffins, pumpkin cookies and all kinds of other fall treats. Sometimes I add flavoring or color. It’s a great way to get rid of all that extra candy after Halloween! — Ruthie, Massachusetts

• Clean cast iron. I inherited several cast-iron pans that were in horrible condition, with food and whoknows-what burned into them. No amount of washing or scrubbing helped. I researched the problem and found that many people have good luck by putting the pans in the oven and utilizing the “clean” function. I took the racks out of my oven and put the cast-iron skillets in. After a cleaning cycle, the caked-on gunk was burned off, leaving only ashes! I washed off the ashes and seasoned the pans, and they were better than new! — Candy,

• Apple action. When apples are abundant, I peel, cut and soak the slices in lemon juice. Then I store the prepared slices in a freezer bag. I plop the bag in a pie tin and freeze them in the shape of a pie. That way, when I’m ready to bake, I can assemble the pie without defrosting the apples. — Nancy, e-mail

• Budget oats. I stretch my breakfast budget by doubling a serving of oatmeal. I use the recipe for a single serving. Usually, it’s one cup of water to 1⁄2 cup of oatmeal, but I use two cups of water and 1⁄2 cup of oatmeal. Then I add about three minutes of cooking time. It will serve two people generously. — Marie, e-mail

• Crumbly crumbs. I store homemade breadcrumbs in a clean Parmesan cheese container. That allows me either to shake the crumbs over a casserole for baking or to measure them with a spoon from the larger opening. When I’m in a pinch, I use store-bought crumbs. Two cheese containers will hold a whole box of breadcrumbs,

• Mega meal. Every time I make a meal, I make three times what we need for dinner. Before I serve it, I separate it into portions. We eat the first portion that night. My husband and I each take the second serving to work for lunch the next day. Then I freeze the third portion for one of those too-tired, too-

BY SUE DAVIS The truck of pumpkins was a welcome sight last Saturday at the entrance to the Market since jack-o-lantern size pumpkins are hard to find this year. Many fall crops, including pumpkins, winter squash and greens, have not developed due to the high temperatures and dry conditions of late summer. Eagle Farm will have mustard greens, kale and turnip greens this week. Eagle also has plenty of half-runner green beans. Sam Bailey has winter squash. Many of the vendors have sweet potatoes. How Sweet It Is and the Bread Basket have pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie. The Bread Basket introduced Sugar-Free Fruit Sweetened Coffee Cake and Cookies. Instead of using chemically produced sugar substitutes or Stevia, Emma uses raisins, plums and dates to sweeten the cake and cookies. The result is a healthy, moist, sweet treat. There is a hint of spice in both. Fall plants are available from Joyce’s Greenhouse, Dawn’s Herb Greenhouse, Bluebird Farms and Owen’s Greenhouse. Joyce has large pots of colorful mums. Garrett Owen, a senior at NC State, has pansies to give col-

or all winter long and a selection of perennials including coneflowers and heuchera which are best planted now for spring color.

Apples featured On Saturday, apples will be featured throughout the Farmers Market. Toi Degree will demonstrate ways to cook apples, and the Rowan Master Gardener Volunteers will host an apple tasting of six or seven varieties of apples available from Cress Farm, Eagle Farm and Sam Bailey Produce. You will get to vote on the best eating apple. The market vendors will also have special apple offerings. How Sweet It Is will have apple crisp, apple pie and apple coffee cake. Carla Anne’s Cookies will have caramel apples, apple fritters and harvest muffins. The Bread Basket will have fried apple pies, apple bread, candied top apple pie and possibly another surprise.

Dear Frustrated: I hope you are working with someone at your college’s counseling center. Because of your depression, you should receive ongoing support. A counselor at school will be familiar with the issue of hovering parents and will help you establish a healthy and mature distance from them. Your mother’s behavior has consequences. You

should continue to reassure her but not offer details about your life, which she is likely to criticize. Because your parents are having such a hard time letting go, you will need to establish the distance necessary to grow. If your mother starts to nag and criticize, you should say, “Mom, I don’t like this, and it’s not helpful, so I’m going to have to check in with you later.” Do your best academically, and also join organizations that will bring you in contact with other students outside the classroom. And don’t drink. Alcohol is woefully omnipresent on most campuses, and using it will aggravate your depression. Dear Amy: Years ago, my

Dear Betwixt: You have already benefited from these tickets by attending this “major event” as “the guest” (in your words) of the ticketholder. The person who purchased these tickets and who invited you as a guest has the right to retain the prize. You would have had more standing to claim half of the winnings if you had purchased your ticket from your friend. The tickets she purchased won the prize, and so you should let her invite whomever she chooses to go on this dream trip. If you offer to give up the spot she may insist that you come with her, but it’s hard to imagine you would enjoy this trip when you know the price you pay may be your friendship.

She gets upset that I shield my personal life from her, but when I do share, she finds something to criticize, nag and/or make snide comments about. When I ask my mom to stop, she either gets defensive or tells me it’s her job as my mother. I am still recovering from depression, so I need more support and acceptance from my parents and less passive-aggressive criticism and nagging. Any suggestions? — Frustrated Freshman

There is no option to buy tickets for our husbands and only “the guest” (me), and not the primary ticketholder can transfer the spot on the trip. Should I give up my spot and give it to her husband, or go on the trip myself? I feel that if I go, she will resent me, and her friendship is dear to me.

I will treat them always with respect,” she said. “You would have to find individuals who have the integrity to do this job, and the morals,” Biernacki said. Biernacki said prosecutors know that winning is not the “do all and end all,” that they must present all evidence and prosecute fairly. She said she will “look for people who have a passion for

HOUSE FROM 2a sector isn’t doing it is because they can’t make a profit,” Warren said. “When [governments] make a loss, you and I have to pay for it.” Coates said she does think municipalities should be able to provide broadband service to areas that private businesses will not serve. “The reason Salisbury is going into the broadband business is because there were areas of Salisbury that could not get service,” Coates said. “They tried to get Time Warner or AT&T to come into these areas, but they wouldn’t say they would in the next 10 years.” Another issue brought up with local implications was forced annexation. The candidates were asked if they favored a bill allowing a vote by

both municipalities and those being annexed. Warren said those in the proposed annexation area should vote, but not municipalities, because that would not allow the annexed to ever “win.” Coates said she is against forced annexation of any kind, but when she talked to those who were recently subject to annexation attempts, they said the proposed bill would be better than no bill. When the candidates were asked about offshore drilling in North Carolina in light of the disastrous Gulf Coast oil spill, Coates said she is against it. “I know we need oil, and it’s a very serious thing, but I’m not sure we need to go there,” Coates said. Warren said the nation needs to be doing whatever it can to reduce its dependence on foreign oil — while being careful and responsible with

regular inspections. “No more attention has been paid more closely to offshore drilling than now,” Warren said. “We need to drill, baby, we need to drill.” Another question posed to candidates asked if North Carolina should adopt a law similar to Arizona’s regarding illegal immigration. Coates said that while this state has taken measures against illegal immigration, she is not sure that the Arizona bill should be adopted here. Warren said North Carolina needs to “force the federal government to do their job” by adopting a similar law. When asked if they would support a nonpartisan panel to be in charge of redistricting, without taking voting patterns into consideration, Warren and Coates both said they would support it.

YMCA FROM 1a He said some positions have been consolidated, though he didn’t provide details. And he noted the Y still employs a couple of hundred part-time and seasonal workers. Morgan said he hopes no more layoffs will be necessary. “We are hoping that will carry us on,” he said. In a down economy, Morgan said, a membership at the Y is probably an expense some people decide they can do without. In addition, many people who are out of work no longer need the YMCA’s after-school program because they can look after their children themselves. And that hurts, since the agency receives 90 percent of its revenue from membership and programs. In fact, the loss of paid memberships accounts for half of the $200,000 decline in revenue compared to this time last year.

didates. • The Knights of Columbus Council at Sacred Heart Catholic Church will host a forum Oct. 12 in Brincefield Hall on the church campus from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. All candidates except statewide judicial candidates have been invited. The church is at 375 Lumen Christi Lane. • The Rowan County Chapter of the NAACP will host a forum at the Rowan Public Library Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m. for county commissioner and school board candidates. • The Rowan County Council on Aging will a host forum for county commissioner candidates, 2 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 28 at Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, 1120 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. The focus will be on issues of local interest to Rowan County older adults.

Meanwhile, the Y has continued its policy of not turning people away just because they can’t pay. The organization provides financial assistance or scholarships to those who qualify. Morgan said numbers weren’t readily available this week on how many Rowan Y members currently pay for their memberships and how many get financial assistance, but the latter number has increased by 4 percent this year. And with the need growing, it’s becoming more difficult to provide those scholarships because “finances are so tight,” Morgan said. “Our membership numbers are higher, but our revenue, or income, is down,” he said. Morgan said the agency hit a low point at the beginning of 2010, but he’s hoping for improvement. He said one way people in the community can help is during the United Way fundraising campaign. The Y is a United Way agency and relies on funds raised during the campaign to help with membership scholar-

ships. “If the United Way campaign doesn’t reach it’s goal, that will affect us and other agencies,” he said. The agency monitors its own finances daily and a committee tracks the finances on a monthly basis. Committee members plan and prepare for the YMCA’s future the best way they can given current economic conditions, Morgan said. “I still feel like we are blessed and offering services to our community,” he said.

COHEN FROM 1a time,” she recalled. “He never went outside without commenting on how beautiful nature is.” Robin and Tommy, one of Cohen’s sons, talked about their father’s hobbies. At last count, they remembered more than a dozen. Cooking had to be near the top of the list. He would often bring pies or cakes to county commissioners meetings — and he loved to talk cooking, recipes and kitchen tools. He loved to go to Williams-Sonoma stores to buy the latest in cookware. Tommy said the family recently found the attic stuffed with vintage cookware — top of the line at the time. While operating a business, serving the county and pursuing hobbies, Cohen’s family came first. Born in Salisbury, Cohen went off to N.C. State but had to drop out his junior year and take over the family’s roofing and heating business when his father died. When he married Marilyn Horah, their honeymoon was in Florida — a boat race. He abandoned boat racing as the children came and turned more of his attention to family and business. Robin recalled he spent a year planning a family vacation at Disney World, staying at a

NEWT FROM 1a board named the county building at 130 E. Innes Street for him. Cohen had led the effort to restore and transform the former post office and court building to county offices. Mayor Susan Kluttz said Cohen left his mark on Salisbury and across the county. “People listened to him, he was very influential. He was a great person to work with.” Kluttz got to know Cohen while she worked with the Rowan-Salisbury Schools in 1989. She cited his endorsement of the 2000 school bond as key to its passage. She also praised his efforts to renovate the old post office building, “providing one of the most beautiful historic buildings in Salisbury.” And Kluttz said Cohen was always willing to talk about issues and listen. She credited him with being the major force in negotiating a water agreement with the city in 2000. “He was such a quiet gentleman. He was a unique leader. His influence will be very much missed,” she said. Arnold Chamberlain, who served two terms on the county board, called Cohen the most effective and most thorough county commissioner he ever served with. “He was my mentor. He knew everything I needed to know as a county commissioner,” Chamberlain said Tuesday. When Chamberlain was considering running for commissioner, Cohen advised him to start attending board meetings to find out what was going on. Chamberlain did, ran and won, starting a pattern of potential candidates attending meetings. “Some people, including other commissioners, underestimated Newton because he was a quiet, gentle spirit,” Chamberlain said. “He’s the only human being I ever met in my life that did not hold a grudge.” Chamberlain learned quickly that Cohen knew how to get votes in the primary and general election. And he also knew how to line up the three votes

top-notch hotel. The family had a great time, and he delighted in being able to provide and share the experience. Cohen’s interest in politics and public office came much later. His son, Jim, ran for county commissioner in 1980 and won. The conservative duo of Jim Cohen and Jim Sides created something of a political firestorm. Jim Cohen opted not to seek re-election, but his father thought he would put his name in the race. Before he lost in 2000, Newton Cohen won nearly a dozen primaries or elections. As chairman, he presided over dozens of county commissioners meetings, incurring the wrath of the public over landfills, zoning, taxes and a litany of issues. His smile and quick wit were constants. Once, during a drawn-out budget session, he struggled to get three commissioners to agree on ways to balance the budget without raising taxes. The session had gone on for hours. Commissioner Dave Rowland shifted in his seat and then a loud thud resonated through the chamber. Everyone looked to see what made the very loud noise. It was Rowland’s wallet — bulging with cash. Cohen looked over at the wallet and suggested commissioners had found a way to balance the budget. Service arrangements for Cohen were incomplete Tuesday.

to get items approved by the board. He recalled Cohen telling him many times, “Arnold, when it’s all said and done, three outnumbers two every time.” Chamberlain believes Rowan County would be a far different place without Cohen’s leadership. He cited his leadership in building a landfill, stopping a nuclear waste dump and a hazardous waste incinerator, and building and improving several county buildings in Salisbury. Superior Court Judge John Holshouser served as county attorney during much of Cohen’s time on the board. “He really loved this county. He was a well-respected businessman who had a common touch with the citizens of Rowan County,” Holshouser said Tuesday. Holshouser learned quickly that under Cohen’s quiet, gentle demeanor was one tough man. He recalled when the state tried to put a hazardous waste incinerator in western Rowan. State officials came to Salisbury to make the big announcement in the Community Building. “Ole Newt looked over at Tim (Russell, county manager) and said, ‘Tim, get ready, we’re going down to Raleigh,’ ” Holshouser said. “Everybody charged down there. It was on.” The state dropped its plan. “Newton was certainly a fighter,” Holshouser said, “and I was proud to serve under his leadership.” Steve Blount, who served eight years with Cohen on the board of commissioners, said Tuesday that Cohen was at “the helm of county government when we transitioned through very trying times.” “Newt (Cohen’s nickname) was always a gentleman, always willing to sit and talk with you,” Blount said. “He treated everyone with respect, no matter how he felt about politics. Everybody admired him for that.” Blount saw first-hand the Cohen style at board meetings. At times during long and boring presentations, Cohen would close his eyes. Some folks thought he had fallen

asleep. Once the presentation was over, Cohen would often pepper the presenter with questions — about costs and whether taxpayers were getting maximum benefit.

Cohen timeline Newton Cohen served 16 years on the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, including 10 as chairman. Here’s a synopsis of his service on the board: • Cohen was first elected to the Rowan County Board of Commissioners in 1984, succeeding his son, Jim Cohen, who was elected in 1980. Cohen, 57, favored establishing a merit system for teachers and eliminating tenure. Previously serving as chairman of the Rowan County Planning Board for eight years, he continued to push for a countywide water system. During the campaign, he supported creating a new county landfill and a county 911 emergency call system. • Re-elected in 1988 to board of commissioners, he was selected as chairman. Cohen credited his win in part to the coattail effect of George Bush’s sweeping win over Democrat Michael Dukakis. On election night, Cohen had a bit of fun, putting on a Dukakis mask at the Board of Elections. • In January 1990, he suffered a serious heart attack. Doctors implanted a pacemaker and defibrillator. • In 1992, he won a third term and was re-elected chairman. Two years later, Todd Arey was elected to the board and selected as chairman. • In 1996, Cohen won reelection after a heated Republican primary with seven candidates. He saw his primary victory as vindication for his stances, including opposition to the county’s funding a minor league baseball stadium in Kannapolis. Cohen was again selected as chairman and continued to serve as chairman until 2000, when he lost in the November election, ousted by Democrat Leda Belk.

NEWTON COHEN’S LEGACY

Steady hand at the helm t’s altogether fitting that Newton Cohen’s name has come to be synonymous with the white marble building that sits at the corner of East Innes and Church streets in Salisbury. The building is courtly but unpretentious, built on a rock-solid foundation impervious to shifting winds, a stabilizing, trustworthy presence amid the bustle and occasional eruptions of life. That also could describe Cohen, the family man, businessman and former commission chairman who died Tuesday at 83. During his 16 years on the commission, and afterward, Cohen was involved in many contentious issues — school merger, state plans for a hazardous-waste incinerator in Rowan, bond offerings and the “Common Sense” scandal, to name a few. Yet, no matter how the storm clouds swirled, Cohen was noted for keeping calm, proceeding with business in an orderly fashion and never letting individual disagreement devolve into personal nastiness. He was, in short, a true man of the people, unfailingly polite and respectful in his dealings with colleagues and fellow citizens; a conservative who pinched pennies but also knew the importance of investing in the future. It’s that legacy county officials honored in 2008 when the building where he thumped so many meetings to order was designated the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building. That old-school civility didn’t mean he was afraid to take strong stands. Cohen at one point opposed the merger of Salisbury and Rowan County schools because he thought people should have the right to vote on such an important issue. Although he supported construction of the Campbell Road landfill, he opposed condemnation of property needed for a portion of the site. And while he had personal reservations about the county’s involvement in Fieldcrest-Cannon Stadium, he eventually sided with the majority because he believed it important to present a united front. It was a mark of his honesty that he later lamented it was one vote he’d like to take back. When Cohen first took up the chairman’s gavel in December 1988, succeeding Dick Messinger, a Salisbury Post editorial urged Cohen to stick to his principles — and he did. It also urged him to embrace ambitious goals — and he did that too, as the county completed the landfill, increased school funding, adopted zoning regulations, enhanced emergency services, built a new Justice Center and launched a business park. The editorial concluded with these words: “Newt Cohen is a good man, and he promises to be a good chairman. ... Hardworking and thrifty and honest as the day is long, he should be a faithful steward of the public’s trust.” He fulfilled that promise, and more. Rowan County is a better place today because of his steady leadership and faithful service.

SALISBURY POST

EW YORK — After living in New York city for a few weeks, I’ve reached a few conclusions about the great political divide in America. As Barack Obama told us at the Democratic convention in 2004, we are not a red and blue nation, etc., etc., etc. True enough, but we are a highdensity/low-density nation. As a smallish-town girl come to the humongous city, I am all too aware of the appeal and horror of centralized government. Simply put, the more peoKATHLEEN ple cram themselves into PARKER small spaces, the more government will be involved in their lives. This isn’t the stuff of revelation, of course, but it’s a useful metaphor for the two prevailing worldviews now in conflict. If you live in a large urban area, chances are you are accustomed to lots of rules and regs. But to the newcomer, fresh from living largely independently by her own wits, the oppression of bureaucratic order is a fresh sort of hell. Not only did I move from a small town in South Carolina via a relatively quiet neighborhood in Washington, D.C., I also left the solo operation of a freelance writer to join CNN, an international organization with layers upon layers of human management. Not that I’m complaining. Just sayin’. But between rules for potted plants on an apartment terrace and a building ban on lighting birthday candles, I’ve uttered more than once, “Now I know what it’s like to live in communist China.” Without,

of course, the conveniences. Nothing is simple when you have 8.4 million people living in the space of 303 square miles. This seems obvious, but the daily impact of those statistics can’t be fully appreciated until you’ve experienced it. For every individual action, there are four typed, single-spaced pages of restrictions. So it must be, one could argue, or else there would be anarchy. You can’t have 8 million people acting out their individual impulses. What if half the city’s residents decided to fire up the Weber for some burgers on a given Saturday? On the other hand, when staffers threw me a birthday party a few days ago, rules prohibited lighting the single candle on my pinkfrosted cupcake. You may have heard about Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s crusade against trans fats, which are now banned from restaurant fare in the city. OK, fine, trans fats are bad for you and I voluntarily eschew them. Not so the fellow who installed my wireless. “You can’t get a good doughnut in the city anymore,” he railed. “I have to drive to Jersey to get a decent doughnut.” But Bloomberg cares about my cable guy’s arteries. He figures citizens will be better for these rules, which is the thinking behind all decisions that ultimately remove the decision-making (i.e. freedom) from our lives. It is one thing to create laws that protect us from another’s stupidity, but shouldn’t the cable guy have the right to be stupid? Even just now and then? I haven’t eaten a doughnut in 20 years, but suddenly I have an uncontrollable urge to hit Krispy Kreme. These are tiny little things, not so ter-

ribly important, but so are raindrops. Individually, they’re not much. In combination, they become something else less pleasant. Inevitably, the mind wanders to health care and other government programs that aim to do nice things for good people but in the process eliminate the options of being self-directing individuals. This is fundamentally where Democrats and Republicans face off. At what point is the common good bad for people? Many so-called Everyday Americans who live in the oft-maligned red states essentially are people who live in moreopen spaces and, therefore, see little need or benefit for government management of their lives. The frontier may be nearly gone, but the person who prefers wider horizons will have little use for bureaucrats bearing the latest government how-to (or how-not-to) document. Those who have opted to live in densely populated blue areas need third-party authorities to maintain order and figure they’ll trade a little freedom for the convenience and cultural riches of city life. These are completely different orientations toward life in general and the role of government specifically, and I’m not sure the two can be reconciled. City dwellers will never understand the folks who prefer the company of trees, and country folk will always resent the imperious presumptions of urbanites who think they know best. But when the lights go out, I’m gonna light that dadgum candle. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Agent Orange and Sen. Burr

Defense budget deserves scrutiny BY MATTHEW LEATHERMAN For the Salisbury Post

orth Carolina prides itself on being “the most military friendly state in the nation.” Supporting the troops often is viewed synonymously with accepting the budget that funds them without question. To many people, these two facts combine as easily as two plus two equaling four — being the most militaryfriendly state means that North Carolinians should accept the Pentagon’s budget uncritically. Nothing could be further from the truth, and taking a peek at the Pentagon’s budget is all that is needed to understand why. Now is an especially important time to do so. Today, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates will be speaking at Duke University, an appearance that comes just weeks before midterm congressional elections that many expect to be defined by issues of spending and debt. One part of the Pentagon’s budget funds “overseas contingency operations” and is meant almost entirely for Iraq and Afghanistan. Gates has requested $159 billion for this account in fiscal year 2011, which starts Friday. This spending often is thought of as the most directly supportive of deployed U.S. forces, but many would be surprised to see where it goes. The pending overseas contingency operations request, for instance, includes $205 million for a next-generation F-35 fighter jet. Yet Air Force Secretary Michael Donley commented last March that F-35s won’t enter the operational force until 2015 — years after the Iraq mission is concluded and, if the president’s word is to be taken, well beyond our horizon in Afghanistan as well. The only thing this jet does for our deployed forces is to consume resources that could be spent on real priorities elsewhere. All other Pentagon spending is located in the “base” budget, which is subdivided into sections that include service-members’ compensation, standard costs to maintain the force, military construction and investment in research and development. Procurement costs feature heavily in this part of the budget, comprising $113 billion of the overall $549 billion base request for fiscal year 2011 (21 percent). Intended to purchase hardware and services that make our military forces safer, some of this spending has the paradoxical and irresponsible effect of fueling arms races that expose them to unnecessary risk. One such example that may resonate especially with North Carolinians pertains to the U.S. fleet of 11 aircraft carriers. Many of these ships are home-ported in tidewater Virginia. In May, Gates noted that “in terms of size and striking power, no other country has even one comparable ship.” He then asked, “Do we really need eleven carrier strike groups for another 30 years when no other country has more than

one?” A great question — and one that the secretary should examine further during his Duke speech. The answer, of course, is that we do not. Our plan to replace this entire fleet, at $10-13 billion per ship, represents more than just undisciplined spending. It signals to other countries, such as China and Russia among others, that we have the militaristic intent to match the size of this fleet. Ultimately, the U.S. is buying Navy-related jobs and economic growth in the shipbuilding industry in exchange for a more conflict-prone relationship with other countries. That puts our service-members at greater risk — risk that is neither strategic nor wanted. Our military forces deserve better than this. Indeed, being the most military friendly state requires North Carolinians to ask tough Secretary of De- questions of our leaders so fense Robert that we can be sure that Gates will speak money meant for these today at Duke. forces actually goes to them, and that they are asked to confront only those dangers required to safeguard our national priorities. No part of our government should be exempt from budgetary discipline, least of all the Pentagon. The most immediate way to start imposing that discipline would be to pose some tough questions to Secretary Gates today at Duke. Support for our troops has been conflated with unqualified acceptance of the Pentagon’s budget for too long, and nothing would have a bigger impact than signaling to Gates that this link has been broken. Inquiring about specific purchases, including the F-35 and aircraft carriers, is a great place to start. Another question, though, covers this topic more comprehensively than any other. The Pentagon confessed in this year’s budget justification that it is “one of a very few Cabinet level agencies without a ‘clean’ financial audit opinion.” Lacking the ability to track how our defense resources are spent, how are we supposed to have any confidence at all that this money is serving a national strategy, making us more secure, or properly supporting the troops? This is a $708 billion dollar question — the amount requested by the Pentagon for fiscal year 2011. At so steep a cost, it is imperative that this question get answered not only for our national security, but also for our fiscal well-being. • • • Former Salisbury resident Matthew Leatherman is a research associate with the Stimson Center in Washington, D.C., and contributes to its Budget Insight blog (www.stimson.org).

According to a recent article in the Salisbury Post, North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr has expressed concern about the costs of VA Secretary Shinseki’s decision to expand VA care to Vietnam veterans who have ailments that may have been caused or aggravated by exposure to Agent Orange, citing costs and saying that he wants to be sure that science supports this decision. He must already know, as a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, that science, in the form of the National Institutes of Medicine’s 2008 update on veterans and Agent Orange, says that while it is not at this distance possible to be absolutely certain, it is quite possible that exposure to Agent Orange contributed to current coronary disease (ischemic heart disease) among Vietnam veterans. On this basis, VA Secretary Shinseki, who was already authorized by Congress (through the Agent Orange Act of 1991) to make decisions regarding VA compenation related to presumed Agent Orange exposure, decided in favor of Vietnam veterans. Secretary Shinseki is living up to his responsibilities. How about Senator Burr? — Dick Taber Salisbury

With GOP having energy on its side, Obama seeks to fire up Democrats with rallies, a scolding ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Buck up. Stop whining. And get to work. Clearly frustrated by Republicans’ energy — and his own party’s lack of enthusiasm — President Barack Obama scolded fellow Democrats even as he rallied them Tuesday in an effort to save the party from big GOP gains in the crucial midterm elections. In the final month of campaigning, he’s trying to re-energize young voters, despondent liberals and other Democrats whose excitement over his election has dissipated. “It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines,” the president declared in a Rolling Stone magazine interview. He said that supposed supporters who are “sitting on their hands complaining” are irresponsible because the consequences of Republican congressional victories could be dashed Democratic plans. He gave an example during a backyard conversation with New Mexico voters, arguing that Republicans would reverse the progress he’s made on education reform and student aid. “That’s the choice that we’ve got in this election,” Obama said, underscoring the stakes of Nov. 2 before heading to a rally at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. It’s the first of four large rallies planned for the campaign homestretch as the president tries to rekindle some of his 2008 campaign magic and fire up young supporters and others who helped elect Obama but who Democrats fear may stay home this fall. Top lieutenants Vice President Joe Biden, Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine and Cabinet members also fanned out on other college campuses to call party foot soldiers to action.

Jimmy Carter taken off flight with upset stomach CLEVELAND (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter, on a trip promoting his new book, developed an upset stomach on a flight to Cleveland on Tuesday and was staying at a hospital overnight at his doctor’s recommendation. Carter’s grandson, Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, said his 85-year-old grandfather was doing fine. “He’s definitely resting comfortably and expected to continue his book tour this week,” Jason Carter said. “I haven’t talked to him, but nobody in the family is concerned.” The former president planned to stay the night at MetroHealth hospital in Cleveland, according to a statement from the Carter Center, an Atlanta-based nonprofit known for its international work on human rights and public health. He planned to resume his book tour today in Washington D.C. “He is fully alert and participating in all decision-making related to his care,” hospital spokeswoman Christina Karas said. “The decision to admit him overnight is purely precautionary.”

2 polls show declining confidence on economy NEW YORK (AP) — Americans in both the living room and the boardroom are growing more fearful about the economy, creating a Catch-22 for the job market: Shoppers won’t spend until they feel more secure, and business won’t hire until people start spending. The eroding views were revealed Tuesday by two separate surveys, one that found everyday Americans are increasingly pessimistic about jobs and another that found CEOs have grimmer predictions about upcoming sales. “The economy is stuck in an unvirtuous cycle,” said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo. “Consumers are waiting for more jobs to be created, and businesses are waiting for consumers.” The monthly consumer confidence index from the Conference Board, a private

research group, fell to 48.5 in September, its lowest point since February and down from 53.2 in August. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting 52.5 for September. It takes a reading of 90 to indicate a healthy economy — a level not approached since the recession began in December 2007.

A new survey of Americans’ knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths. Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn’t know that, according to church teaching, the bread and wine used in Holy Communion is not just a symbol, but becomes the body and blood of Christ. More than half of Protestants could not identify Martin Luther as the person who inspired the Protestant Reformation.

Tropical depression nears South Florida MIAMI (AP) — A tropical depression that’s expected to become Tropical Storm Nicole neared South Florida on Tuesday, with officials predicting that it will bring heavy rain along with winds of 40 to 50 mph. National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read says rainfall could reach eight inches in some spots as the system blows through Wednesday, causing localized flooding. He predicts that the winds will be between 40 and 50 mph and doesn’t think it will come close to reaching hurricane wind speeds of 74 mph. A tropical storm warning has been issued for the Florida Keys, Florida Bay and from the southern tip of the peninsula through Palm Beach County. A tropical storm watch was in effect for Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties on the Atlantic

Mexico: No confirmed landslide deaths, 11 missing OAXACA, Mexico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A huge mudslide first thought to have buried hundreds of people has left only 11 missing and there are no confirmed dead, authorities said Tuesday night, backing off earlier predictions of a catastrophe in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain-soaked southern state of Oaxaca. Federal Interior Minister Francisco Blake and Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz both confirmed the drastically reduced toll from the slide that hit the town of Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec early Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far no one is confirmed dead, only 11 missing who we hope ... will be found,â&#x20AC;? Ruiz told the Associated Press. Initial reports from Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec, a rural mountain town 373 miles (600 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City, said a hillside collapsed on hundreds of sleeping residents after several days of heavy rains in the aftermath of a hurricane and tropical storm that hit Mexico and Central America. Civil protection authorities first reported seven people killed and at least 100 missing, but Ruiz later reported casualties as four dead and 12 missing. Jose Alfredo Garcia, spokesman for the Interior Department, told the AP that the initial reports were based on the number of homes hit by the mudslide, but at the time no federal or state officials had reached the site to check the estimates. Communications with the town were difficult after the pre-dawn slide. Soldiers and civil protection and Red Cross workers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the area for nearly 10 hours because mud and

rocks blocked roads and a bridge was damaged, while bad weather prevented helicopters from being used. President Felipe Calderon reported on his Twitter account Tuesday afternoon that an army commander and 30 soldiers had reached the town by foot and that there was a lot of damage, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;perhaps not of the magnitude initially reported.â&#x20AC;? Donato Vargas, an official in Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec reached by a satellite telephone, had said as many as 300 homes were believed to buried, and residents who made it out early in the morning said they had no success digging out neighbors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been using a backhoe but there is a lot of mud. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even see the homes, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear shouts, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear anything,â&#x20AC;? Vargas said. Vargas said the slide dragged houses packed with sleeping families some 1,300 feet (400 meters) down the hillside along with cars, livestock and light poles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all sleeping and all I heard was a loud noise and when I left the house I saw that the hill had fallen,â&#x20AC;? Vargas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were left without electricity, without telephone and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help them. There was no way to move the mud.â&#x20AC;? One person was reported killed in a mudslide in another Oaxaca community, Villa Hidalgo, and 30 people were killed Monday in a slide in Colombia. Heavy rains, including some delivered by the remnants of Hurricane Karl and then Tropical Storm Matthew, also have produced deadly floods in southern Mexico and Central America. Oaxaca Civil Protection operations coordinator Luis

A man watches as a bulldozer clears debris from a road on the outskirts of the town of Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico Tuesday. A mudslide ďŹ rst thought to have buried hundreds of people in the town has left only 11 missing and there are no conďŹ rmed dead, authorities said Tuesday night, backing off earlier predictions of a catastrophe in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain-soaked southern state of Oaxaca. Marin said the state had seen three days straight of intense rain. The state government warned residents south of the city of Oaxaca of flooding from overflowing rivers and opened shelters in other parts of the state. Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec, which had 9,000 residents in 2005 according to Mexican census data, is a community high in the Sierra Norte mountains known for maintaining its indigenous culture, especially its music. Residents speak the native language, Mixe, and its youth orchestra plays

throughout Mexico. Vargas said a second hill threatened to give way in another part of town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in a serious risk situation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all of our neighborhoods there are houses and roads cracked and about to fall.â&#x20AC;? Huge swaths of riverside communities in southern Mexico were still under water Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; flooding exacerbated by the passage of Karl and Matthew. Before Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landslides, at least 15 deaths in Mexico were blamed on the hurricane. In Honduras, authorities said four people, including a

child, drowned in rivers and creeks swollen by Tropical Storm Matthew. The National Emergencies Commission said Tuesday that three adults died in the town of El Oregano and a 10-year-old child in the Caribbean coast town of La Lima. In Colombia, about 30 people were killed Monday by a landslide northwest of Bogota, the capital. Many were changing from one bus to another because a mountain road was blocked, but the residents of five houses also were buried, rescue officials said. Colombian President

Juan Manuel Santos visited the scene Tuesday between the towns of Giraldo and Canasgordas in Antioquia state, northwest of Bogota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation is very difficult,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters as rescue teams with sniffer dogs probed tons of earth. Witnesses described a roar as first rocks and then earth swept over the road Monday afternoon. Amateur video shows the slide bearing down and scouring away the houses. Heavy rains in recent weeks across Colombia have triggered flooding that has claimed at least 74 lives.

South Korea says 2 Koreas to hold military talks SEOUL, South Korea (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North and South Korea have agreed to hold their first working-level military talks in two years, Seoulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Defense Ministry said today. Officers from the two sides were to meet Thursday in the truce village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone that divides the peninsula, the ministry said. They last held such talks in October 2008. North Korea had earlier this month proposed the meeting to discuss the western maritime border and antiNorth Korean leaflets spread by South Koreans. The ministry would not confirm Wednesday what would be on the upcoming meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda. The poorly marked western sea border, drawn by the United Nations at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, is a constant source of tension between the two Koreas. Seoul has repeatedly rejected the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing demands that the sea border be changed. The navies of the two Koreas engaged in three bloody skirmishes near the area in 1999, 2002 and 2009. Military tensions have been high since a South Korean patrol ship sank in March, killing 46 sailors. South Korea and the United States say the vessel was sunk by a North Korean torpedo, a claim Pyongyang denies. The talks also come as South Korea and the U.S. are holding naval drills in the Yellow Sea off the west coast of the Korean peninsula, near where the South Korean ship sank. The exercises are the second in a series of joint maneuvers focusing on anti-submarine warfare tactics, techniques, and procedures, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.

INDIANAPOLIS — Josh McRoberts already is living his dream of playing for his hometown Pacers. Now, he could take it a step further and become the team’s starting power forward.

CONCORD — Denny Hamlin said Tuesday he’s made peace with Kevin Harvick and the drivers have agreed their focus should be only on dethroning four-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. The two tangled on the track immediately as practice began Saturday at Dover. Harvick initiated the bumping and banging, presumably as retaliation for Hamlin’s outspokenness about Harvick teammate Clint Bowyer’s illegal car. “Regardless of what hap- HAMLIN pens on the race track, our friendship goes further than that,” Hamlin said during an appearance at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Hamlin said the discussion was not on their skirmish Saturday, which continued in the garage after NASCAR ordered both drivers off the track. Instead, he said they discussed the ramifications of continuing a feud. “The more we chase each HARVICK other on the race track, the more we’re going to let somebody else, mainly Four-Time (Johnson), make it Five-Time.” Hamlin is the current Sprint Cup Series points leader and takes a 35-point lead over Johnson into this weekend’s race at Kansas. Harvick led the points for most of the “regular season,” but is currently ranked fifth after two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

BY DOUG FERGUSON NEWPORT, Wales — The Ryder Cup is getting personal for Tiger Woods. Interrupting an otherwise dull press conference Tuesday, Woods fired back at a comment Rory McIlroy made six weeks ago that “I would love to face” the world’s No. 1 player in the Ryder Cup unless his game rapidly improved. Asked for a reaction, Woods leaned into the microphone and said only, “Me, too.” WOODS The quote from McIlroy — the closest thing to bulletin board material at Celtic Manor — came the week after Woods’ golf reached a low point in a dismal season. He had the highest score of his career and beat only one player in the 80man field at Firestone. McIlroy was not worried that he had given Woods or the U.S. team any more motivation. “I’m fine. I’m all right,” said the 21-yearold from Northern Ireland. “You’ve got to realize, I said those things the week after he had just shot 18 over at Akron, so he wasn’t playing too well at the time.” Woods was aware of the comment before arriving in Wales. He mentioned the quote two weeks ago at Cog Hill while talking about Stephen Ames, whom Woods had beaten 9 and 8 in the Match Play Championship after Ames was quoted making fun of Woods’ accuracy. “At least Rory said, ’Unless my game improves,”’ Woods said in Chicago. There also were stories circulating at Cog Hill that Woods had said to McIlroy upon passing him, “Careful what you wish for.” McIlroy, however, denied that ever happened. The singles matches on Sunday, which decide the Ryder Cup, are a long way off. And because it’s a blind draw, there is no guarantee Woods and McIlroy would play each other. Singles rarely has been a problem for Woods or the other top American players. Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk — the core of the U.S.

Hamlin, Harvick make up

Former Duke star could start in: With Troy Murphy traded to New Jersey, he’s left to compete with Tyler Hansbrough, Solomon Jones, veteran Jeff Foster and rookie Magnum Rolle for the starting job. “It doesn’t matter if I’m the last guy on the bench or the first guy on the floor, I’m always going to feel blessed and lucky to have this opportunity,” he said. “I know how lucky I am to be in my hometown and represent the Pacers.” The 23-year-old McRoberts was a McDonald’s All-American in high school.

Ricardo Marsh, 6-8, played hoops at Old Dominion, was a successful pro in Turkey, Ukraine and Croatia and is currently in the training camp of the Atlanta Hawks. Lavar loves basketball and thought that would be his college ticket. “I was recruited more for basketball and probably I would’ve played college basketball except for coaching changes at schools that recruited me,” Lavar explained. Marsh turned in 25point hoops outings against Norwood and South Granville, and he probably had more double-

The college football season finally starts to take shape this weekend. In all, five ranked teams square off with a pair of top-10 conference showdowns with national title implications. So let’s break them down with a winner to boot: No. 7 Florida (4-0) at No. 1 Alabama (4-0): The last two national champions have split emotional SEC Championship Games the last two years. Back in 2008, the second-ranked Gators rode Tim Tebow for a gritty 30-20 win over the top-ranked Crimson Tide. Second-ranked ’Bama returned the favor last December sending Tebow off in tears with a surprising 32-13 beatdown of the No. 1 Gators in Atlanta. This is the first time under Urban Meyer that Florida has been a 9-point underdog. That alone gives UF a motivational edge over ’Bama, which hasn’t lost a regular-season home game since — believe it or not — a 21-14 loss to Louisiana-Monroe (egad!) on November 17, 2007. For the Gators to pull the upset, its defense (third in the nation with 14 turnovers forced) has to rattle Tide senior QB Greg McElroy , who diced them up last December (12-of-18, 239 yards passing, TD), while also shutting down Heisman-winner Mark Ingram, who also ran wild in Atlanta (113 yards rushing, 3 TDs, two catches for 76 yards). Meanwhile, UF QB John Brantley must get the ball down the field like Arkansas’ Ryan Mallett did last week in rolling up 357 yards passing in Bama’s 24-20 escape. If that sounds like too much to ask, well ... it is. Alabama, 24-10. No. 8 Stanford (4-0) at No. 4 Oregon (4-0): This kind of showdown is uncharted territory for Stanford football. How uncharted? Amazingly, the Cardinal has never won a game when ranked in the top-10, falling each time it made it in 1970, ’71 and ’92. That alone explains why Oregon is a seven-point favorite. Then there’s the matter of the Ducks’ offense, which is currently averaging 57.5 points per game. That’s six points

Catawba Cauble has Marine mentality Marsh’s move to OL smooth BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Aaron Cauble arrived for Catawba’s preseason football camp three days late. Guilty with an explanation, sir. “I just finished a 10-week deal in Officer Candidate School with the Marine Corps,” Cauble said. “Football CAUBLE started on August 12. I got back on the 15th.” Cauble wasn’t absent from football without leave. The former East Rowan star signed a contract with the Marine Corps in 2009. That decision initiated a long process that began with extensive background checks and stacks of paper-

work. This summer, Cauble finally was able to get started physically on his eight-year commitment to the Corps. While Cauble’s teammates were running and lifting this summer, he was being tested to an even greater degree physically and mentally in Quantico, Va., with high-stress, demanding, entry-level training. “It wasn’t boot camp exactly because officers don’t really do boot camp,” Cauble said with a smile. “We didn’t get quite the amount of crap that enlisted guys would get, but the sergeants yelled at us before they tapered off some at the end. “It was tough, but I enjoyed the experience. You make a lot of friends. That helps you get through the tough parts.”

salisbury senior Philip tonseth won the boys race at Central davidson.

Tonseth, Shields take No. 1 spots From staff reports

Salisbury senior Philip Tonseth set a course record while winning the boys race during a CCC cross country meet at Central Davidson on Tuesday. Tonseth finished in 18 minutes, 8 seconds. He ran a time in the 18:40s last year. In the girls race, Salisbury’s Katherine Shields came in first.

 Prep soccer Emmy Turcios had two goals and two assists to lead Salisbury’s soccer team to a 5-0 win against CCC foe Central Davidson on Tuesday at Ludwig Stadium. “We were working on all cylinders,” Salisbury coach Tom Sexton said. “We played at a high level, a very solid game. We played all 25 guys, and all 25 did something.” David Simons’ cross to Turcios opened the scoring, and a long diagonal pass by Luke Hutton set up Turcios for his second goal. “Those first two goals came off beautiful assists,” Sexton said. Gerardo Sosa scored off a cross by Turcios to make it 3-0 at halftime. Turcios ripped a ground cross that Hanson Saryee one-touched into the net to make it 4-0, and pressure by Tripp Caldwell led to an errant Central Davidson pass and another slick goal by Sosa. Keeper Connor Miller helped preserve the shutout with aggressive play. He shut down two breakaways. The game was a makeup of Monday’s rainout. There was good medical news for the fourth-ranked Hornets (11-0-1, 1-0-1). Simons returned from a concussion. Marco Mejia (ankle), one of the Hornets’ top scoring threats, is scheduled to return for tonight’s CCC game at Lexington. Salisbury returns home against North Rowan on Thursday.  Salisbury’s jayvees topped Central 1-0 to improve to 3-1-1.  East Rowan seized momentum early and beat West Rowan 5-2 in NPC action Tuesday. “East and West always have extremely competitive games, but we came out and scored a few early, which set the tone for a victory,” East coach Preston Paffrath said. “We were following our shots and playing aggressively.” East’s Gaige Vandezande scored in the third minute off a Robbie Barnes assist. Levi Huffman’s breakaway in the 18th minute made it 2-0. Barnes then scored two quick goals, the first on a deep shot and the second off Reid Lippard’s assist. Lippard tacked on East’s final goal, with Spencer Torres assisting. Abraham Carillo and Bertin Suarez scored goals for the Falcons. “I was happy with the performance from the starters, and the relief players gave it all they had,” Paffrath said. “It was a hard-fought battle that put three players in the hospital, but I was happy with the sportsmanship.

SPORTS DIGEST

Bears show old winning ways Associated Press

CHICAGO — Devin Hester turned up the right sideline, hurdled a lunging defender and jumped into the first row of fans after his 62-yard punt return for a touchdown. With each stride, it sure felt more and more like 2006 again. Hester was up to his old tricks with his first touchdown return in three years, and the Chicago Bears were back to looking like contenders with a 20-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. “We know it’s a long season,” Hester said. “We know what can happen. We can go out and lose four or five games straight. We can’t really dwell on this win.” The Bears had insisted all along they were good enough to contend after three straight playoff misses. If they were looking for confirmation, the last two weeks should help. Never mind that narrow season-opening win over Detroit, when the Lions’ goahead touchdown was erased by a rule call in the end zone. A week later, the Bears beat Dallas on the road. And then? They stopped the high-powered Packers, a popular pick to win the NFC. Now, the Bears are 3-0 for the first time since

the 2006 Super Bowl team won its first seven, and they are the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFC thanks to a defense led by Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher and an offense that’s adjusting to Mike Martz’s system even if it was a bit out of sync Monday. “We didn’t play our best game and we won,” said Cutler, who threw for 221 yards and a touchdown. “That’s got to be a good sign. Offensively, we’ve got to get a lot better. I need to get a lot better. Our defense did a good job keeping us in it.” There were times when Cutler threw to one spot and the receivers went to another. On the ground, Chicago managed just 77 yards, although the Bears averaged 4.3 yards per carry. That the Packers wound up with a team-record 18 penalties for 152 yards certainly helped the Bears, but they also helped themselves with enough big plays to come away with what could be a defining win. Urlacher forced a fumble by James Jones in the closing minutes and Robbie Gould booted the winning 19-yard field goal with 4 seconds left after Green Bay’s Morgan Burnett was called for pass interference on Earl Bennett. Late in the third quarter, with the Packers leading by three, Peppers

blocked Mason Crosby’s 37-yard fieldgoal attempt. And in the fourth, Hester’s TD return arguably bailed out coach Lovie Smith after he again decided to go for the touchdown rather than an easy field goal on fourth down at the goal line. • Monday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears was the highest-rated cable telecast of the year. ESPN says “Monday Night Football” had an estimated 17.5 million viewers, making it the fifth-most watched cable program ever — behind a Monday night game from last season featuring the Packers against former quarterback Brett Favre. The network said Monday night’s 12.5 rating was well over the season average so far of 10.9. • The NFL is investigating a confrontation between Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins and a fan after Monday night’s loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

Panthers release defensive tackle Leonard Associated Press

assOciated pRess

Louis Leonard is no longer with the panthers.

The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have released defensive tackle Louis Leonard, ending an injuryfilled year in Carolina. The 26-year-old Leonard entered training camp as a favorite to win a starting job on the Panthers’ revamped defensive line, but didn’t live up to expectations. He failed to crack the rotation and had three tackles in two games. The Panthers didn’t immediately replace him Tuesday on the 53man roster. Leonard was acquired from Cleveland before the start of last season for a sixth-round draft pick, but played in only two games before breaking his left ankle. The Panthers gave Leonard a one-year, $1.6 million tender in the offseason. But he was slowed in training camp with a sore knee and

missed the Sept. 19 loss to Tampa Bay with an elbow injury. EDWARDS PICKED UP ACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Showing just how frustrated they are with quarterback David Garrard, the Jacksonville Jaguars claimed former Buffalo Bills starter Trent Edwards off waivers Tuesday. Edwards is expected to sign a contract Wednesday morning and join his new teammates at practice later in the day. The Jaguars waived linebacker Alvin Bowen to make room for Edwards on the roster. The move gives Edwards a fresh start after things went south in Buffalo and provides Jacksonville with a viable option behind Garrard. Edwards started the first two games for Buffalo this season, completing 29 of 52 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown. He also threw two interceptions and lost

Jury convicts driver in Adenhart death Associated Press

SANTA ANA, Calif. — A jury convicted a drunken driver of murder in the deaths of promising Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart and two of his friends. Andrew Gallo, 23, held white rosary beads and occasionally looked up at jurors as they returned convictions on three counts of second-degree murder and single counts of drunken driving, hit-and-run driving, and driving under the influence of alcohol and causing great bodily injury. Gallo, who had a previous DUI conviction, was led away in handcuffs and briefly looked over his shoulder at the victims’ sobbing relatives. Gallo faces 50 years to life in state prison at his scheduled sentencing on Dec. 10.

BASEBALL CHICAGO — Ozzie Guillen said he’ll be back in 2011 as manager of the Chicago White Sox. Guillen is already under contract for next season, with a option for 2012. But there had been speculation he would join another club. Guillen said he had separate discussions with White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Ken Williams. Guillen had said he wanted to know his status. Williams said it was a short meeting, and said he asked Guillen whether he wanted to return. Williams said Guillen said he wanted to come back.

TV SPORTS NEW YORK — NBA TV will televise the Miami Heat’s exhibition opener, when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh play together for the first time on Oct. 5 against Detroit. Marv Albert will call the game in Miami along with

Kevin McHale and Chris Webber. Albert says although it’s only a preseason game, there is “extraordinary curiosity” to see the superstar trio. Now in more than 53 million U.S. homes, NBA TV is scheduled to show up to 275 live games this season. It will televise 20 live games during the preseason.

SOCCER NEW YORK — The World Cup kept plenty of office workers from doing their jobs. According to ESPN, fourteen percent of Americans surveyed said they or a friend broke work rules to watch the tournament in South Africa. The cable network cited research by Knowledge Networks’ Total Touch that found 77 percent of out-of-home Internet usage during World Cup matches occurred at offices and 50 percent of out-of-home ESPN mobile use was at offices. Eighteen percent of people said they or a friend wore their favorite team’s World Cup jersey to work during the tournament from June 11 to July 11, and 5 percent said they or a friend broke up with a significant other because of the World Cup.

NHL NEW YORK — The NHL says today’s preseason game between the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Fla., has been canceled because of the threat from Tropical Storm Nicole. The announcement was made by the league on Tuesday, more than 24 hours before the game. “We felt that it was in the best interest and safety of our fans, our players and the Carolina Hurricanes,” Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said.

both games, prompting coach Chan Gailey to turn to Ryan Fitzpatrick to spark an inept offense. With Fitzpatrick under center, the Bills managed 374 yards — more than Edwards mustered in his two starts. Gailey released Edwards on Monday. SAINTS NEW ORLEANS — Veteran kicker John Carney is returning to the New Orleans Saints. Carney’s agent, Jack Mills, confirmed in an e-mail Tuesday to The Associated Press that his client would be signing a contract with his former team. Terms of the deal were not released. Carney, who is 46, worked out for the Saints Tuesday after starting kicker Garrett Hartley missed a 29-yard field goal in overtime Sunday that would have given the Saints a 27-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons. For the season, Hartley is 4-for-7 on field goal attempts.

The Saints have not announced who would be waived to create a roster spot for Carney. STEELERS PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin probably wishes his quarterback decision had been this easy all season. Charlie Batch, buried so deep on the Steelers’ depth chart that he barely practiced during training camp, will start Sunday’s AFC North game against Baltimore. Batch started Sunday at Tampa Bay only because Dennis Dixon had left knee surgery last week and Byron Leftwich was recovering from a left knee injury, yet he completed 12 of 17 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns. RAMS ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams added insurance at running back in case Steven Jackson misses time with a groin injury, signing Chauncey Washington off the New York Jets’ practice squad.

TIGER WOODS

TIGER FROM 1B team since 1997 — collectively have won 125 times on the PGA Tour, including 19 majors. That hasn’t carried over into the Ryder Cup. In singles, they are 10-62, with Woods and Furyk losing only once. In fourballs and foursome matches, with different partners in the 18 Ryder Cups they have played, that trio is 18-34-9. Maybe that explains why they all have losing records, and have played on losing teams. Based on the foursomes both captains sent out, there were no surprises. Europe started on the back nine with Francesco and Edoardo Molinari playing with McIlroy and Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland. Ian Poulter, Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington and Ross Fisher brought up the rear. European captain Colin Montgomerie defended his selection of Harrington. He cited the record of Luke Donald — 5-1-1 — when he made the Englishman a captain’s pick. Donald, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood all have winning records in the Ryder Cup. They are considered to be good Ryder Cup players. Does that mean Woods, Mickelson and Furyk are not good Ryder Cup players because of their records? “You can say that about a number of players,” Montgomerie said. “Tiger’s record in the Ryder Cup is not quite as bad as people think it is. It’s just because his individual record is incredible. “Who says that won’t happen this week?”

CHARLOTTE — Give Clint Bowyer credit for deftly navigating his way through what was likely the worst week of his NASCAR career. Riding high following his win in the opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Bowyer had the wind knocked out of him 72 hours later when NASCAR ruled the car he drove to victory at New Hampshire was illegal. The decision carried significant sanctions that essentially eliminated Bowyer from title contention, and sent him into Sunday’s race at Dover International Speedway — arguably his weakest of the 10 Chase tracks — as the central figure in a major scandal. Bowyer faced his critics head-on, presented a passionate defense of his Richard Childress Racing team, then tried to go about salvaging his season. Only the controversy raged around him and he sputtered in Sunday’s race to a 25thplace finish that dropped him 235 points behind leader Denny Hamlin. His last hope comes Wednesday in an appeal before a three-member panel. Richard Childress Racing will ask for the penalties to be overturned and for Bowyer’s 150 points be restored. Nobody will emerge the victor from a controversy that’s spoiled the start of NASCAR’s

HAMLIN FROM 1B Harvick, who has not publicly commented on the incident with Hamlin, trails the leader by 65 points. The feud began at the start of Saturday’s practice when Harvick intentionally hit Hamlin’s car. Once back in the garage, where they were lined up side-by-side in the same stall, the drivers and their teams exchanged heated words as NASCAR officials surrounded the scene. Hamlin said he was expecting the contact following his comments Friday about Bowyer and his Richard Childress Racing team. Bowyer won the Chase opener at New Hampshire, but his car was ruled illegal three days after the win and NASCAR docked him 150 points. Bowyer and RCR are alleging that a push from a tow truck to Victory Lane caused damage that contributed to the car failing inspection, and their appeal of the penalty is scheduled for Wednesday. Hamlin dismissed the tow truck theory and alleged that the entire garage knew RCR had been pushing the limit on its cars for several months. Hamlin said Tuesday he watched a video of his news conference at Dover and real-

10-race title Chase. Everyone left New Hampshire fairly pleased with the opening race in the Chase, which is NASCAR’s attempt to challenge the NFL for attention. Four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson had a bad day, the race had an exciting finish and a fresh new winner emerged in Bowyer, who snapped an 88-race winless streak and jumped from 12th to second in the standings. It was a Hollywood-like opening and came at a critical time for NASCAR, which is praying a competitive Chase will stop the slide in attendance and television ratings and stave off potential offseason changes to the title-deciding format. It all began to unravel just a day later. The Associated Press reported Bowyer’s car from the Sept. 11 race at Richmond came dangerously close to failing inspection, and then came word there was a potential problem with his New Hampshire car. NASCAR announced last Wednesday that the No. 33 Chevrolet failed an inspection back at its research and development center, and levied the championship-crippling penalties to Bowyer’s team. On one hand, the dramatics that have followed the ruling have livened up the sport. Team owner Richard Childress insisted the tow truck that pushed Bowyer to Victory Lane at New Hampshire caused the damage that made the car fail inspection.

ized he could have handled it differently. “It was harsh,” Hamlin said. “Maybe I should have just kind of deflected (the questions). I watched Jimmie’s press conference and a lot of other guys before and after me, and they kind of deflected. When it came to them, they just kind of shielded themselves from it, said their piece and it was over with. But to me, I always kind of say too much at times, get too in-depth.” Hamlin has become increasingly vocal over the past year and was fined $50,000 by NASCAR in July for comments he made in public and on Twitter about ill-timed cautions. His Twitter participation has leveled off sharply since, but said Tuesday he sometimes can’t help himself. What set him off, he explained, was Bowyer’s earlier reference to Hamlin’s car needing two tries to make it through at-track inspection at New Hampshire. “It’s just the spur of the moment, when somebody takes a jab, I want to take a punch,” he said. “I sat up in my seat and got defensive. I knew as soon as I left the media center there was going to be repercussions whether it be on the race track or a phone call from (Childress) himself. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking that when I was saying what I was saying. I was thinking ‘Let me stick up for my race team first, and then I’ll throw them under the bus second.’ ”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

CAUBLE

such a team-first guy. “Look, football is really important to us. We want to win every game we can. But seeing a guy like Aaron grow, that’s why we do what we do, and why we try do things the right way at Catawba.” Cauble was a star at East his senior year in 2005. He intercepted eight

passes, including two in his last high school game against Davie County. He’s never been a starter in college, but he’s become an integral part of Catawba’s “special forces” — the special-teams units — the last three seasons. In 2008, he blocked a punt against Carson-Newman to create a touchdown for teammate Tyon Bennett. In 2009, he scored a touchdown of his own when Jaspen Gray blocked a punt against Livingstone. As a senior, he’s on the kickoff and punt-block teams and is a backup on two other special teams. This his last football fling before his life takes a serious turn, and he’s savoring every minute. “I’m enjoying this season and learning a lot,” he said. “Coach (John) Fitz and Coach (Todd) McComb are putting in a lot of new stuff each week on our kickoff and punt-block because no one we play punts or runs back kickoffs exactly the same way.” Hester is looking forward to a few more impact plays from Cauble, a backup safety on the depth chart, and he’s confident Cauble has made a great career choice. “He’s the type of guy you want defending your country,” Hester said. “I think he’s made a great decision.”

make Marsh a full-time offensive lineman. He’s embraced the opportunity to start. Everyone wants to be on the field. Marsh is still learning, but he has solid advisors, including former AllAmerican Terence Crosby, three-year housemate Kemp McSween, who starts at left tackle, and new line coach Brian Hinson, who replaced Ben Hepler. “Coach Hepler was a good coach, a very good X’s and O’s guy who expected you to do your job,” Marsh said. “Coach Hinson’s also a very good coach, but he’s different. He’s more emotional, more fiery.” In Marsh’s opinion, his best career game prior to 2010 came against St. Augustine’s two years ago. Downs was hurting, so Marsh made his first start at tight end. Marsh revised his choice for his strongest game after his recent outstanding effort at tackle in Catawba’s 32-21 win against Shaw. “Considering the defensive linemen I was up against, I thought I did a pretty good job,” Marsh said. Marsh said it’s tougher playing tackle than tight end, because of the adjustments. “A lot of the line calls when I was playing tight end didn’t affect what I

was doing,” he said. “Now, I’ve really got to pay close attention. All the linemen have to be on the same page.” Catawba’s reconstructed offensive line is still learning each other’s strengths and weaknesses. That line includes new starters Marsh and guard Ethan Winn. Parttime starting center Daylon McAlexander, a part-time starting center in 2009, was elevated to a full-time starting role, while veteran first-teamers McSween and Zane Gibson moved to new positions. Catawba won’t face its first SAC opponent until it goes to Wingate on Saturday, but Marsh and his fellow linemen have looked good in the nonleague games. Catawba has run the ball better than last season (102 yards per game) and Catawba QBs have been sacked only twice. Marsh, a big tackle who moves like a tight end, has done his share. “With Lavar’s height and size, he’s just the way you’d draw up an offensive tackle and you’re not gonna find one more athletic,” Hester said. “You can get a little more creative with a guy like him as far as screens and getting him downfield to block.”

FroM 1B

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The promise generated by Brian Kelly’s arrival at Notre Dame still exists. It’s just been watered down early on by a 1-3 start that has exposed the Fighting Irish’s weaknesses and put them in a hole they weren’t expecting. Kelly says it’s time to dig out, starting Saturday night back in the coach’s home state when the Irish face Boston College, a team with its own set of problems. Dating back to last season, Notre Dame has lost seven of eight and another setback would match the skid at the end of last season that led to the ouster of Charlie Weis. It’s hardly panic time in South Bend especially with a softer schedule ahead — save for games against Southern California and Utah — Kelly has worked through rough patches before in previous successful stops at Grand Valley State and Central Michigan. “It’s just the expectations are different,” Kelly said Tuesday. “It’s the same process that we’re going through in terms of building our program and doing the thing that we need to do to win for a long, long period of time.”

The Irish’s running game managed 44 yards last week in a 37-14 loss to Stanford and quarterback Dayne Crist threw an interception that was returned for a TD. He did pass for 304 yards, but most of that was after the game was out of hand. And during the three losses — last-second heartbreakers to Michigan and Michigan State preceded the Stanford setback — the Irish have yielded 532, 477 and 404 yards, respectively. Now Notre Dame faces a Boston College team that is switching quarterbacks after it was blanked last week by Virginia Tech with Mike Marscovetra or Chase Rettig taking over for Dave Shinskie. Kelly’s not expecting big changes in the BC offensive philosophy — no matter the signal caller . “Look, I coach and I teach,” he said. “That’s what I do.” Having Crist take more of a ball carrier’s role this week is one way of enhancing the running game. “There has to be an element in the spread that the quarterback can keep the football at some time, and we’re moving in that direction,” Kelly said. “He’s got to have an element of that within our offensive structure.”

MARSH FroM 1B doubles than sacks in high school. Catawba assistant D.J. Summers did most of the recruiting of Marsh. He was sure Marsh’s strength and athletic ability would make him a solid tight end for the Indians. After redshirting in 2006, Marsh began competing for playing time, but tight end was a stacked position. Shane Timmons was an All-SAC tight end for the Indians in 2007, Marsh’s redshirt freshman year. Then Marsh’s talented classmate Grayson Downs emerged as the starter in 2008 and has held the job. Marsh played when Catawba used a double tight end set or when Downs was hurt, and he also saw emergency action in the interior line when injuries piled up in 2009. “Lavar would take two jerseys to games and wear the one we needed him to wear,” Catawba coach Chip Hester said. Catawba’s offseason choice to replace the tight end in its offense with a “Y-back” made it an easy decision to

Stachitas listed Wake’s starting QB Associated Press

The college notebook ... WINSTON-SALEM — Ted Stachitas could be back as Wake Forest’s starting quarterback — if he’s healthy enough to play. The team’s depth chart released Tuesday listed Stachitas as the starter ahead of freshman Tanner Price, who started the last two games on the road but was knocked out in the third quarter of the Florida State loss with a concussion. Coach Jim Grobe called Price doubtful for this week’s game against Georgia Tech. Grobe added that Stachitas has been limited in practice by sore ribs. Still, Grobe admitted it’s “a possibility” that the Demon Deacons could be without both Stachitas and Price. If so, either redshirt freshman Brendan Cross or redshirt junior Skylar Jones would make his first career start. Stachitas started the Demon Deacons’ wins against Presbyterian and Duke but bruised his non-throwing hand against the Blue Devils. Price relieved him and started the team’s losses at Stanford and Florida State. Stachitas is a dual-threat quarterback who leads the team in rushing, averaging 41 yards per game, and has rushed for two

touchdowns. He has completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards for Wake Forest (2-2, 1-1 ACC). DABO TO FANS: QUIT QUACKING CLEMSON, S.C. — Dabo Swinney can handle most of the complaints about Clemson football, but he’s heard enough from fans carping about the kickoff time for the Miami game. Swinney says he’s gotten several e-mails and letters from people bothered by Saturday’s noon start at Death Valley. He told those who are upset to quit “quacking like a bunch of ducks” and get ready to make it loud at Memorial Stadium. Clemson’s previous two home games began at 3:30 p.m. Swinney said he has no input on when a game starts. He said his job is to prepare the team to play whether it’s day or night. Both teams enter the game with 2-1 records. SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA, S.C. — The quarterback controversy has ended in a hurry at South Carolina. Coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday that Stephen Garcia will start on Oct. 9 when the No. 20 Gamecocks play No. 1 Alabama. Spurrier pulled Garcia in the fourth quarter of last weekend’s loss to Auburn.

Cauble aspires to fly jets. He’s loved the idea of flying since he attended air shows with his mother, Kristan. She was in the National Guard, and he took some helicopter rides as a youngster. During his time at Catawba, a Marine Corps commercial had an impact on his choice of future employers. “The Marines are known as the best, so I want to fly as a Marine,” Cauble said. A math major, the 22-year-old Cauble is closing in on his degree, and his military career will kick in shortly after that. He’s come a long way from the kid who had ups and downs in his early years at Catawba. He redshirted in 2006. Then he lost his eligibility for the 2007 season.

Atlanta handles Florida Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves got what they had hoped for from Tim Hudson as well as an unexpected lift from Eric Hinske. Hinske hit a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Braves improved their wild card chances with a 3-2 win over the Florida Marlins. Hudson allowed seven hits and one run in six innings. He walked four and struck out four. “Hudson was outstanding. He had one of the best sinkers and moving fast balls I’ve seen from him all year,” said Atlanta manager Bobby Cox, who started the righthander on three days’ rest. As for Hinske, Cox said he knew his veteran left-handed hitter “was 0 for 10 against (Anibal Sanchez), but he got a pitch and he hit it.” The Braves improved their home record to 54-23, tops in the majors. Trailing 1-0, the Braves rallied for three runs in the seventh off Sanchez. Brooks Conrad, who had an RBI triple before scoring on Hinske’s two-run homer, will be the replacement at third base for Martin Prado. Prado will miss the rest of the season, including any playoffs, after an MRI showed he tore an oblique muscle. Doctors say Prado, who also bruised his hip, will need two months’ rest with zero activity but should ready for spring training. “It’s bad news,” Cox said. “He’s got two problems.” The Braves held a halfgame lead over San Diego for the wild card entering Tuesday. The Chicago Cubs played at the Padres late Tuesday night. Dodgers 9, Rockies 7 DENVER — Casey Blake homered twice, Rafael Furcal had two triples and Los Angeles put Colorado a step closer to playoff elimination. The Rockies were eliminated from the NL wild card with their loss and Atlanta’s win over Florida. Colorado’s fate in the NL West hinged on first-place San Francisco’s late game against Arizona. A Giants win eliminates the Rockies from contention. The Dodgers blew a fourrun lead but came back in the eighth off reliever Octavio Dotel (3-4). Pirates 7, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS — Garrett Jones homered on a threehit night and drove in three runs and Brian Burres pitched effectively into the sixth inning for Pittsburgh. St. Louis was 12-6 against the division-winning Reds, but it is 26-33 against the rest of the division and 46-50 against teams with a losing record. Infielder Aaron Miles made his fifth career appearance as pitcher for St. Louis. Nationals 2, Phillies 1 WASHINGTON — Adam Dunn led off the bottom of the ninth with his 38th homer. Philadelphia’s Jimmy Rollins went 1 for 3 in his first start in nearly three weeks. Mets 4, Brewers 3 NEW YORK — Lighthitting New York rookie Ruben Tejada laced a tworun double in the bottom of the ninth off John Axford. AMERICAN LEAGUE White Sox 5, Red Sox 4 CHICAGO — Paul Konerko tied the game in the eighth inning with a runscoring double, and Dayan Viciedo won it with a pinchhit RBI single in the ninth. Boston’s slim playoff hopes were dashed about an hour before the game ended. Mariners 3, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, Texas — Felix Hernandez allowed only one run over eight innings and Justin Smoak hit the tiebreaking homer. Hernandez (13-12) became the first pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2002 and only the seventh since 1980 to have a season with 30 quality starts (three earned runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings). The right-hander lowered his AL-best ERA to 2.27. Royals 10, Twins 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kila Ka’aihue hit two home runs and drove in four runs.

Trio of teams clinch Yankees in playoffs for 15th time in 16 years Associated Press

TORONTO — For the New York Yankees, the seaYankees 6 son is just starting. The Yankees Blue Jays 1 clinched their 15th postseason berth in the last 16 years and CC Sabathia got his 21st win of the season by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Tuesday night. “It’s just a first step,” first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “No one in here is satisfied with this season. Everyone knows it’s World Series championship or bust.” Derek Jeter scored three runs and drove in another for the Yankees, who have reached the postseason every year but one since 1995. New York missed the playoffs in 2008, finishing behind Tampa Bay and Boston. The Rays hold a half-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East standings. Sabathia (21-7) allowed one run and three hits in 81⁄3 innings to match Andy Pettitte’s 21 wins in 1996 and

2003 for the most by a Yankee since Ron Guidry went 22-6 in 1985. “Two words: Cy Young,” New York outfielder Nick Swisher said of Sabathia. “No doubt, man. He’s been a horse all year long, he’s done a tremendous job.” The left-hander, who walked two and struck out eight, is 9-3 in 12 career starts against Toronto, including 5-1 with a 2.39 ERA in six starts at Rogers Centre. “You can’t say enough about CC,” Alex Rodriguez said. “I’m speechless when it comes to him. The minute he put on the pinstripes he’s been everything that we’ve expected and a lot more. He’s been a dream for our franchise.” Mariano Rivera got the final two outs for the Yankees, who kept their on-field celebration muted before retiring to the clubhouse for a brief speech from manager Joe Girardi. “I congratulated them and just told them this is the first step,” Girardi said. “There’s a lot of work to be done.”

Tampa Bay reaches postseason for second time BY FRED GOODALL Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Music blared, chamRays 5 pagne flowed Orioles 0 and a half-empty stadium rocked. The Tampa Bay Rays are back in the playoffs, and their complaints about a lack of fan support have been put on hold. The AL East title is still within reach. So is another trip to the World Series. “We hit a couple of rough patches along the way, but we found a way,” B.J. Upton said after the Rays clinched their second postseason spot in three years with a 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. With 19-game winner David Price delivering another impressive pitching performance on a day he described as a “nightmare,” the Rays also got solo home runs from Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena. Price (19-6) scattered six hits over eight innings and allowed only one runner past second base. The 25-year-old left-hander struck out eight and walked none in

what likely will be his final start of the regular season. The Rays, who made an improbable run to the World Series two years ago with Price coming out of the bullpen, retained a half-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East. “I never had any doubt that this was a playoff team,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “I want it to be a World Series champ.” Price agonized much of the day over a critical comment he posted the previous night on Twitter, blasting the low attendance — 12,446 — for a potential clincher that Tampa Bay lost to Baltimore on Monday. “That was a nightmare. I knew if I didn’t throw well, I was going to be done” with the fans, Price said. “All day. Everything that led up to it was terrible,” Price added. “We want more fans here, obviously. We love our fans that come, that’s not what I was saying last night.” Tuesday’s crowd was announced as 17,891 — about 5,000 below the Rays’ season average — but Price expressed his appreciation during on on-field interview, repeatedly saying: “Thank you, Thank you,” and waving his hat to the cheering fans.

Cincinnati beats Astros, secures NL Central title BY JOE KAY Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce raised both index Reds 3 fingers as he Astros 2 rounded first base and took the final steps toward a long-awaited championship. Jubilant Reds teammates streamed toward the plate while fireworks went off overhead. Fifteen years of futility had just ended with Bruce’s dramatic swing. Bruce homered on the first pitch from Tim Byrdak leading off the ninth inning for a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros, securing an improbable NL Central title for a franchise that has gone through some of the worst times in its history. Nine straight losing seasons. A 15-year playoff drought. All washed away with one home run and an eyestinging clubhouse spray. “There’s nothing like it,” said Bruce, who repeatedly got doused with bottles of Korbel champagne and 24-ounce cans of beer in the clubhouse. The 23-year-old outfielder, part of Cincinnati’s young nucleus, provided a fitting finish to the champi-

onship drive. Cincinnati has won 22 games in its last at-bat, second-most in the majors. “When he hit that one up there, there was a big sigh of relief and the party was on,” manager Dusty Baker said. “I’m as happy as a man can be. This is sweet. This is a special group, special guys and a special feeling.” With the latest title, Baker joined Bill McKechnie as the only managers to lead three different NL teams to the playoffs. Baker also has made it with the Giants and Cubs. The Reds hadn’t reached the postseason since 1995, when Davey Johnson took them to the NL championships series, then lost his job because owner Marge Schott didn’t like him. After that, Cincinnati lost its way. The Reds went through three owners, five general managers and seven managers without once making it back to the postseason. They came close in 1999 under Jack McKeon, losing a playoff for the wild card to the Mets. Ken Griffey Jr. arrived the following year but was hurt often and the Reds plunged into a streak of nine straight losing seasons, their worst in a half-century.

Strasburg close to starting rehab BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For a couple of months, Stephen Strasburg “stirred up the baseball world,” in his words. Now the Washington Nationals’ right-hander is embarking on the “boring” process of working his way back from reconstructive elbow surgery. In his first public comments since his Sept. 3 operation, Strasburg said in a conference call from San Diego on Tuesday that he had his cast removed about two weeks ago, has been getting his range of motion back and “should be starting the actual rehab process shortly.” While waiting for that, Strasburg has been doing “some sort of workout every single day” to stay in shape. “I know he’s going to rehab like a monster and put his full effort into it,” Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said. “He’s a hungry player — and he’s a hungry player that’s going to work extremely hard.”

The No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft made an electrifying debut on June 8, striking out 14 Pittsburgh Pirates in seven innings while earning the victory. He went 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 12 starts before getting injured last month. “I’m chalking it up as a great season,” Strasburg said. “It’s unfortunate for this to happen. But I stirred up the baseball world well enough that (it) had more people becoming Nats fans. And I know they’re going to be there when I come back in a year. I’m going to work as hard as I possibly can to get back out there and show everybody what I bring to the table.” His rehabilitation schedule has been outlined in detail, including a specific date when he should be able to throw his next professional pitch, if all goes well. “What they’re telling me is that the more boring it is, the better,” the 22-year-old Strasburg said. “The first few months it’s just all about letting the ligament heal and naturally recover.”

TERMS OF SALE: Pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. 45-21.10(b) and the terms of the Deed of Trust, any successful bidder may be required to deposit with the Trustee or Clerk of Superior Court immediately upon the conclusion of the sale a cash deposit to be determined by the greater of 5% of the bid or $750.00. Unless the Substitute Trustee agrees otherwise, the successful bidder will be required to tender the "full purchase price" so bid in cash or certified check at the time the Trustee tenders to him a Deed to the property or attempts to tender such Deed, and should the successful bidder fail to pay the full amount, then the successful bidder shall remain liable as provided for in N.C.G.S. 45-21.30. By submitting your bid, you agree that the "full purchase price" shall be defined as the amount of bid plus the Trustee's commission as defined in the subject Deed of Trust plus the costs of the action, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise. For example, if the amount of bid is $20,000.00 and the trustee's commission is defined in the subject Deed of Trust as 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale, then the "full purchase price" shall equal $21,000.00 plus the costs of the action.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason such as a bankruptcy filing, the sole remedy of the successful bidder is the return of the deposit.

Wednesday, Sept. 29

10:30

There is a strong possibility that you could become involved in a new enterprise in the upcoming months that is both huge and promising, but getting it off the ground could be a bit troublesome. If you can stay with it, however, you’ll have a chance. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There is a strong risk of letting your ego put you in an embarrassing position, such as pretending you know something about which in truth you know little. It’ll be your loss. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Find a way to screen any confidential activity from someone who has an insatiable curiosity and an even bigger mouth. If you don’t, be prepared for him/her to circulate what you want kept private. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you are too difficult a person to please, it will cause friends who want to be supportive of your efforts to leave you to fend for yourself. It’s up to you to be either caring or cranky. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Patience, not speed, needs to be your watchword if you are engaged in something complicated in the hopes of reaping future rewards. Make haste slowly. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Whenever the outcome of something important falls under your supervision but is being handled by another, be on guard at all times. S/he could make gaffes you’ll have to rectify. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t let a disagreement that arises between you and your mate be aired in front of family or in-laws. That kind of audience will blow things totally out of proportion. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Because you tend to be all thumbs right now, it might be best to forgo experimenting with new gadgets, tools, material or methods of which you’re unfamiliar. Something is likely to run amok. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Indications are that you are likely to be an impulsive buyer, so unless you have money to incinerate, don’t go shopping. It could turn out to be one big spending spree of shame. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — The more irons you have in the fire, the greater your focus must be on following through on your objectives. Before starting anything new, make sure you finish what you’ve already began. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It’s generally wise to seek out advice from someone who might have the answers. However, following the advice of the wrong person can cause serious complications. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — For the sake of the relationship, it is best not to get involved in any business or financial involvement with a good friend. If you ignore these warning signals, storm clouds could quickly move in. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Any frivolous outside interest that invites distraction will cause you to waver from pursuing an important objective that should be receiving your full attention and effort. Focus like an expensive camera. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

OTC product may soften skin on feet and fingers Take your Dear Dr. Gott: Tell your readers that A&D Ointment is absolutely wonderful to use on dry areas, such as fingertips, cracked heels, hands, elbows and more. I get cracks in my heels. I have learned to wear only 100 percent cotton socks and not to wear sandals too frequently. Open sandals quickly contribute to dryness and dirt. I soak the affected area in warm, soapy water (using mild soap) before bedtime, apply the ointment, and then put on the socks. It is amazing how much healing occurs during one night. It can be repeatas often as DR. PETER ed needed and is GOTT also inexpensive and safe. I have tried this with Vaseline and have found that it doesn’t have the same healing power. Dear Reader: A&D Ointment is primarily marketed as a diaper-rash treatment but also claims to work well on dry, chafed skin and other minor irritations, which are not limited

to infants and toddlers. The active ingredients accounting for 68.9 percent of the product are petrolatum and lanolin. Inactive ingredients making up the remaining 31.1 percent include cod-liver oil (the source of the vitamins A and D), fragrance, light mineral oil, microcrystalline wax and paraffin. Petrolatum and lanolin are common ingredients in moisturizers. They protect, soften, and rehydrate skin. Paraffin, wax and mineral oil help create a barrier to prevent loss of moisture. I’m not sure what topical cod-liver oil is good for other than moisturizing, but as I have reported in my column, many find that taking it internally helps maintain good health, improves vitamin A and D deficiencies, eases arthritis symptoms and more. I have printed your letter because the product is indeed safe and inexpensive, since many retailers carry store-brand versions. This may be a good first choice for treating and preventing finger cracks as well as other minor skin irritations and problems. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy

of my Health Report “Dermatitis, Eczema & Psoriasis.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and sent to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: Your column has helped me with my leg cramps. I am writing because I have a concern. For many years, I have had intermittent burning sensations on my inner thighs and buttocks, sometimes with the feeling of pins and needles. I have seen a dermatologist, but because she could not see anything on my skin, she said she couldn’t help. I am at my wits’ end. Dear Reader: Burning, stinging, pain, pins and needles, and other abnormal sensations of the buttocks and thighs are often the result of a spinal problem, most commonly sciatica. This condition is caused by impingement of the sciatic nerve in the lower back, usually caused by a slipped, ripped, torn or otherwise displaced

disc. Other symptoms include low back pain, abnormal sensations in the low back, calves or feet, and urinary or fecal incontinence. I suggest you speak with your physician about this possibility and get an X-ray or MRI of the thoracic (middle) and lumbar (lower) areas of your spine. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Managing Chronic Pain.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and sent to P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

‘Lone Star’ axed by Fox after just 2 airings NEW YORK (AP) — Fox network says its prime-time soap “Lone Star” is being pulled off the air after just two airings. Replacing the littlewatched new show is the psychological crime drama, “Lie To Me,” which begins its third

season next Monday at 9 p.m. EDT. Although Fox didn’t officially cancel “Lone Star,” its fate seemed sealed after Monday’s episode, whose audience was even smaller than the 4.1 million viewers who had watched its premiere a

week earlier. Praised by critics, the show featured newcomer James Wolk as a charismatic Texas con man living a double life with two beautiful women. With the dire news from Fox on Tuesday, “Lone Star”

became the first casualty of the fall TV season, which is little more than a week old.

chances in sequence BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Mother Teresa said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” Today’s deal is an echo of yesterday’s. You have two chances to make your seven-spade contract and must attack them in the correct order. West leads a trump. What would you do? It is easier said than done to reach seven spades. However, that North hand is very strong when partner opens two clubs and the spade fit is uncovered. So, after you control-bid (cuebid) in both minors, North leapt majestically to seven spades. Real bridge players don’t need Blackwood. Try to find a safe lead against a grand slam; don’t risk giving away the contract at trick one. When you are in a grand slam, you have little reason to count losers, because you cannot afford any. Instead, count winners. Here you have 12: seven spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. There are two chances for a 13th winner: the diamond finesse might work (50 percent) or the hearts could be 4-4 (33 percent). This suggests that you should rely on the diamond finesse. However, if hearts are not 8-0 or 7-1 (a combined 4 percent), you can

try both. Take the first trick with dummy’s nine and cash the two top hearts, discarding diamonds from your hand. Then ruff a heart with a high trump, lead a spade to dummy’s jack, ruff another heart high, and play a spade to dummy’s ace. Were the hearts 4-4? If so, cash the heart six, discarding your diamond queen, and claim. If not, take the diamond finesse.
