Dispute over houses continues Even with latest work on 11th Street, properties haven’t passed inspection BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Lois Morris, an elderly woman, can’t remember exactly how old she is. Sitting on the front porch of the house she rents at 318 E. 11th St. last week, Morris talked freely with reporters but couldn’t recall for certain what year she moved into the property. When asked how to spell her first name, Morris shook her head. “Ma’am, I do not know,” she said. As the city’s code services manager, Chris Branham’s job is to make sure people like Morris live in safe, sanitary conditions that meet the city’s mini-
mum housing standards. And right now, Branham says, the elderly woman and other tenants in the 300 block of East 11th Street do not. For the first time JOHN KING in the two-year history of the city’s Code Services Division, Branham sought and obtained an administrative warrant in May to enter, by force if necessary, four properties at the corner of Long and 11th streets. Inside, Branham found what he
called the worst living conditions in the city. The squalor depicted in photographs that Branham showed Salisbury City Council in August helped galvanize a unanimous vote to move toward the creation of a housing commission, a board that would support Branham’s department and enforce the city’s housing code using fines and other means. Since the May 28 inspection of the East 11th Street properties, owner John King has made repairs and shown an intention to bring the properties up to

Giving it all away Accountants call ABC turning over all year’s profits ‘very unusual’ BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Accountants who presented the RowanKannapolis ABC Board with a clean financial audit Tuesday said it was “unusual” that all profits were given to the county this year. Sam Leder and Daniel Morrow of Potter and Company, P.A., went through the report and financial statements with the board. The statements compare snapshots of the ABC system’s finances on June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009. “Your change in net assets — that is your net income, or the bottom line — is zero,” Leder said. “Your net assets at beginning of year were the exact same as your net assets
at the end of the year, which is very unusual.” Leder advised the board to keep evaluating its finances and distributions every quarter. If a large expense is coming up, like the roof replacement at the administration building, he said the board could choose to hold back a little bit and catch up in a later quarter. “It’s the board’s decision if you give every dime away,” Leder said. “A lot of organizations don’t make that decision.” The system’s profit before distributions was $216,167, which was all given to the county and municipalities. Last year, the system made $243,407 and gave out $281,000 after county commissioners pressed board
members for more distributions. Board members agreed the system was doing well for its size and the economic climate, but Board Chair Linda Lowman added that it could do better. “I’d still like to see our percent of profit go up from 3.1 percent,” Lowman said. Leder said the accounting firm has issued an unqualified audit opinion, which is “the highest level of assurance a CPA firm can give you that these statements are materially correct.” Gross sales went up about $50,000 from 2009 to 2010, totaling about $9.4 million. “Really, that’s almost flat,” Leder said.
County commissioners will hear a presentation Monday about a company looking to bring up to 45 jobs to Rowan County and invest between $4 million and $5 million. RowanWorks Director Robert Van Geons will present “Project BC-INF” and proposed incentives to the Rowan County Board of Commissioners at 4 p.m. Monday in the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building, 130 W. Innes St. The board will not take action on the incentives Monday but will vote on setting a public hearing for Oct. 18. Van Geons wrote in a letter to commissioners that the agency has been working for weeks with the company, which is “a world leader in production of products utilized to manage wastewater.” He said the company is considering multiple locations. “This operation would produce a variety of extruded plastic products,” Van Geons wrote. “The company would employ 35 at the proposed location, with expectations that this number would increase to 45 as the economy rebounds.” He continued that the company is considering a vacant building in the Summit Corporate Park, and its operations and proposed outside storage would meet the park’s guidelines. “While the building meets their requirements, the lot is not large enough to meet their outside storage needs,” Van Geons wrote. “Rowan County owns the adjacent lot, which could provide the additional land needed.” RowanWorks is requesting that the county consider a no-cost lease of the approximately 3 acres of land needed for the project. County Manager Gary Page said Thursday that the lease would be temporary, not long term. “What they’re asking for is to lease it for a lay-down area while they do renovations and whatever else,” Page said. “They just need a little extra property, but they don’t want to buy it.” In other news, the board will consider a recommendation Monday from Talbert and Bright consultants to purchase the Perma-Flex rubber plant on Airport Road.

Governor plans tour of flooded areas
karissa minn/SALISBURY POST
Firefighters work to contain a fire that broke out midday Saturday at 525 Horah St.
Electrical problem leads to Horah Street fire BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
A fire damaged a house on Horah Street in Salisbury around midday Saturday. Salisbury Fire Department Battalion Chief David Morris said the fire started in the rear right corner of the house. The cause was later determined to be electrical. Morris said Saturday afternoon the circuit that fed the clothes dryer is where the fire started. Firefighting crews fought the blaze from inside and outside the house. Two groups of firefighters protected the house next door and the firefighters inside. “The crews were able to make an aggressive offensive attack and contain the fire to that area,” Morris said. Firefighters were dispatched to 525 Horah St. at 11:50 a.m. Saturday, and the fire was under control by 12:35 p.m. The extent of the damage is unknown, but the house is uninhabitable, Morris said.
The Red Cross was called to make sure the home’s two occupants have food, shelter and clothing. Baxter Fleming said he and his wife, Brenda, were home at the time the fire broke out. “We were watching television, and all of a sudden I heard a boom and we saw a lot of smoke,” Fleming said. “I don’t know what happened.” Fleming only has one lung due to a battle with lung cancer, so he and his wife left immediately. He said he has lived in the house for 30 years and hated to see it catch fire, but the important thing is that they were both OK. “That’s material stuff there — you can get that back,” he said. “You can’t get no lives back.” Responding to the fire were Salisbury, Granite Quarry and Spencer fire departments, Salisbury Police Department, Rowan County Emergency Services and the Rowan County Rescue Squad.

WINDSOR (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue plans to tour flood damage in eastern North Carolina as swollen rivers were expected to crest Saturday following last week’s heavy rains from Tropical Storm Nicole. Perdue’s office said she would visit the towns of Windsor and Vanceboro today. The North Carolina State Emergency Response Team said in a news release that much of Windsor is expected to remain under water for several days. The downtown has been evacuated along with more than 40 residents from a nursing home. Some roads remained closed Saturday as rivers and creeks spilled over their banks after as much as 19 inches of rain fell in the Greenville area last
week. It was the same area that had been damaged by heavy rain and flooding from 1999’s Hurricane Floyd. “People who live out here are very worried because of what happened in ’99,” James Godley, who lived less than a quarter-mile from the flooded area, told The Daily Reflector of Greenville. “This is the first time they’ve had to close the highway since then. It brings back that fear.” Triumph Missionary Baptist Church was flooded in 1999 and when the church rebuilt, the property’s elevation was raised to protect the building. That strategy appeared to be working, said deacon Johnny Daniels. Water covered parts of the parking lot Friday, but hadn’t gotten to the building. The National Weather Service expect-
ed little relief for flooded areas as most rivers were expected to crest Saturday and forecasts called for a light rain over the next two days. “Given that there will be a bit of lull, any flooding will start to recede and since it won’t be as nearly as much rain, there will be some ponding but it won’t effect our flooding situation,” said weather service meteorologist Lara Pagano. The Neuse River, the New River, Chicod Creek, Swift River and Trent River were all above flood stage Saturday morning. The State Emergency Response Team said about 35 people remained in four shelters Saturday. About 50 homes and businesses were still without power, down from a peak outage of 70,000 Friday.

Autumn Jubilee BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
René Wilson just wanted to put some extra money in her pockets for the holidays and so began her business, Simply Yummy. Wilson had some of the yummy treats she creates on display Saturday at the 31st annual Autumn Jubilee. She was one of more than 150 crafters/vendors at the event located at Dan Nicholas Park. There were others selling woodcrafts, framed prints, ceramics, folk art, fabric crafts, quilts, leathercrafts, bird houses, homemade soaps, baby items and more. Simply Yummy is a homebased business that features cakes and cookies made in a mug that’s ready in less than two minutes in the microwave. Wilson got the idea from her godmother who had a spice tea recipe that was passed down from generations and shared with her. The tea’s ingredients were housed in little jars. She took the concept and created cakes and cookies that can be cooked in seconds and eaten right in the mug. “I did several shows and it was a hit,” Wilson said. It was her first time as a business owner at the event. The self-titled “mompreneur” tests all of the recipes in her mother’s kitchen. “I thought how could I do cake in a jar?” she said. She adapted her godmother’s idea into mugs. She tweaked different cake recipes that required very little ingredients and could be cooked quickly. She has three cakes — chocolate chip chocolate cake, white chocolate strawberry shortcake and caramel apple cake. She also has three drinks — spice tea, assorted herbal tea and hot cocoa with cookies. She is working on a new cake idea now and should be ready to reveal it soon. She has plans to attend the fall craft show at the Salisbury Civic Center in November. Wilson lives in Salisbury. Manda Harkey and her mother Dale Smith attended the event this year and “borrowed” lots of crafty ideas. Harkey said she’d not been to the fall event is some time and was amazed at how it’s grown. “They have some really neat stuff,” she said. “A lot of really nice stuff,” Smith added. Both said they liked that the prices were affordable and it was an opportunity to get some ideas for their own crafts. The two dabble in crafts and saw ideas they could use for Christmas gifts. “The atmosphere is perfect,” Harkey said. Both women live in Stanly County. Crafts is what Heather Boyd and her two children, Ashley, 6, and Brandon, 8, did all day. Boyd, who works at SunTrust bank, heard about the event from a customer. It’s the family’s first time at the event. “We wanted to see what it was all about,” she said. The Boyds saw the puppet show, joust and ate cookies. They made their own candles and browsed through many of the booths. “We like the hands-on stuff. We like to do the crafts and artsy stuff,” she said. Boyd said they would break for a bite to eat, go back to the car to lay out all of their

goodies and maybe play a bit before heading home. People interested in playing probably stopped by Joe and Michelle Freeze’s table of custom cornhole boards and bags. This time last year, Michelle said not many people knew about cornhole. When they had a booth last year, most people asked how to play. This year, by midafternoon, only three people inquired. The game is sometimes referred to as bean bag toss or soft horseshoes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a contestant reaches 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores three points, while one on the platform scores one point. The couple, who live in Concord, have been hosting tournaments, which they started doing in their spare time. “It’s growing with every kind of person,” Michelle said. Lowery Lanier froms Statesville shows his carved walking sticks at the Dan Nicholas Park Au“It’s in lots of senior tumn Jubilee. homes,” Joe said. “It’s grown in popularity,” Michelle said. The two started with their own cornhole board and did some experimenting until they came up with a perfect design. “It’s a hobby business,” Joe said. For the past 10 years, Monte Bringle has attended the event with his family. They attend for the food, specifically the chicken and dumplings, and so his daughter, Abby, 8, can paint pumpkins. “We love it,” he said. While his wife and daughter shopped at booths, Bringle just people-watched. Abby said she already knew what she’d paint on her pumpkin this year — a cat. “I like cats,” she said. She also likes candy corn. It’s her favorite fall treat, she said. Elizabeth Chadambuka was at the Autumn Jubilee for the Judy Blalock from Albemarle has a line of her colorful aprons for sale.

The Rowan County Health Department is having a walk-in flu clinic next Saturday at its office. The clinic is Oct. 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 1811 E. Innes St. No appointment is necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the N.C. Departmet of Public Health recommend people six months and older receive the vaccine. However, there are groups that are at higher risk for serious flu complications: • Young children • Pregnant women • People with chronic health conditions, like diabetes • People 65 years of age and older “The vaccine we received protects against three different flu viruses and one is H1N1,” said Nina Oliver, preparedness coordinator for the health department. The seasonal flu vaccine is usually a three-component vaccine, with each component selected to protect against one of the three groups of influenza viruses circulating most commonly in people. H1N1 is one of those components. The cost for the vaccine is $25. The health department will accept cash, credit and debit, but no checks. Medicaid will be accepted. Medicare and private insurance will not be accepted, but “we will give them a receipt to submit to their private insurance or Medicare for reimbursement,” Oliver said. There are ways to prevent the flu, Oliver said. Flu prevention: • Get vaccinated. “A lot of people are scared to get the vaccine. They’ve been told you will get sick with the flu. Several years ago, that may have been true because the vaccine was created with a live virus,” she said. This vaccine does not contain the live virus. • Wash your hands. “People take that for granted, but a lot of germs get stuck on your hands,” Oliver said. She encourages people to wash their hands with soap and water. If soap and water isn’t available, an alcohol based hand sanitizer can be a good substitute. • Cover your mouth and nose. Use a tissue to cover the mouth and nose or try to sneeze or cough in the bend of your arm, she said. If people can’t make it to the Saturday flu clinic, contact the health department to schedule an appointment on another day. Also on that day, the staff and employees will conduct a preparedness exercise to determine how the agency would handle a public health crisis. The state requires the health department to perform a certain amount of exercises a year. “This one focuses on the mass dispensing of medications for people,” Oliver said. The health department will look at how staff and

Deadline for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay extended The deadline for eligible service members, veterans and their beneficiaries to apply for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay (RSLSP) has been extended to Dec. 3, allowing personnel more time to apply for the benefits they’ve earned. To apply, or for more information on RSLSP, including submission requirements and service-specific links, go to http://www.defense.gov/stoploss. The deadline extension is included in the continuing resolution signed by President Obama Sept. 30, providing funding for federal government operations through Dec. 3. “It’s important that all those eligible for this benefit take the opportunity to apply for what they’ve earned,” said Lernes Hebert, acting director, Officer and Enlisted Personnel Management. “We encourage those eligible to apply as soon as possible, to avoid the last minute rush, which can increase processing time.” RSLSP was established to compensate military members whose service was involuntarily extended under Stop Loss between Sept. 11, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2009. Eligible members or their beneficiaries are required to submit a claim to their respective military service in order to receive the benefit of $500 for each full or partial month served in a Stop Loss status. The original deadline for claims was Oct. 21, 2010. When RSLSP began on Oct. 21, 2009, the services estimated 145,000 service members, veterans and beneficiaries were eligible. Because the majority of those eligible had separated from the military, the services have engaged in extensive and persistent outreach efforts throughout the year. Efforts including direct mail, engaging military and veteran service organizations,

And, she said, the city realizes not everyone wants to get their news and information online. The city’s printed magazine and newsletters are still popular. “I probably get five subscription requests a week,� Whichard said.

The website itself will have information on business locations, everything from major industrial tracts to the Research Campus. “Everyone’s really excited about this,� Whichard said. Still, she said that electronic media in all its forms isn’t the solution to every problem. “We’re specifically avoiding Twitter for two reasons,� Whichard said. “For one, the Twitter servers are notoriously unreliable.� Outages happen frequently, which could hamper efforts to get news to subscribers. “Also, Twitter is an instantaneous constant stream,� she said. Rather than concentrate on short bursts of information over time, she said it would be better to keep in-depth information and updates available through other outlets. Also, in the event of an emergency, Whichard said, expect information to come through established sources, especially radio and television stations. The city also uses an automated phone message system,

KANNAPOLIS — In a “city of the future,� residents can see footage from concerts and events, learn about businesses and report utility problems and potholes, all from their mobile devices. The future is now in Kannapolis. In addition to its primary website, cityofkannapolis .com, the city has had a Facebook account since 2008. Coming soon, the Facebook account will be converted into the new “page� format for greater interaction. (Right now, you have to be added as a “friend� to take full advantage of that presence.) And a new YouTube channel — already online, but soon to be expanded — will let viewers see festivals, concerts and local businesses firsthand. “These will help residents and newcomers communicate and learn more about the city,� Marketing Director Karen Whichard said at this past week’s Kannapolis City Council meeting. In an interview Saturday, Whichard said the city’s online presence has already gotten positive feedback. People have used Facebook not only to express their opinion on services but to mention problems, such as one example she showed the City Council of a woman who was having trouble paying her water bill by phone. On the city’s website, a separate electronic form lets residents report potholes and other such problems already. Whichard told council members that more than 2,800 requests had been filed through that service since it was launched. The YouTube channel, meanwhile, can help promote the city to newcomers, but it may be more interesting to people who already live here. The first set of videos include footage of scientists at work at the N.C. Research Campus. “Because of the research and development process and confidentiality, not everybody can get inside the lab,� she said. “This will allow them to see what’s going on inside, what the labs look like, and who’s working there.� The videos will generally be short, three minutes or less. “The potential, really, is unlimited,� Whichard said. She expects that the city and local businesses will probably add one or two videos a month, including footage of the city’s popular Summer Event Series. Meanwhile, a Wordpress blog maintained by the city gets about 1,000 visits per month. City Manager Mike Legg, Outreach Coordinator Renee Goodnight and Whichard are among the most frequent contributors. The future includes a brand-new “micro-site� dedicated to job recruitment and economic development. Slated to come online in No-

Halloween kitten, friendly Quinn looking for good homes
FROM 3A from Zimbabwe and is in town visiting with her son and his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enjoying myself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m impressed with the crafts,â&#x20AC;? she said. This is the sixth year, Debbie Dudley has featured her crafts at the event. Usually she has handcrafted necklaces, but this year sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed it up. The Cleveland resident handsculpts polymer clay figurines that she affixes to retractable ID card reels. She works at the Salisbury VA and uses them to hold her badge. She grew tired of making the polymer clay beads for her necklaces and made the switch last year. Dudley had about 470 different reels on display. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a mold or paints.

Cat: This beautiful calico kitten has started getting ready for Halloween early, all dressed up in her black, orange and white outfit.

Dog: Come by the shelter and meet Quinn and see if his charming ways donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t persuade you to take him home with you. Now Quinn may like to talk a bit, but he also loves to shower people with affection. Quinn is about 2 years old and is neutered, making him free to adopt.

Mental Illness Awareness Week offers opportunities to learn Today marks the beginning of a week of activities that highlight mental illness with opportunities to learn more about people living and coping with mental illness. This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week and these events are sponsored by the Rowan County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The group is promoting the theme, “Changing Lives, Changing Attitudes.” The Rev. Bill Batterman,

A kick-off rally for the week. • Tuesday, Oct. 5, a summport group meeting, 7 p.m. at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1908 Statesville Blvd. • Wednesday, Oct. 6, In Our Own Voice: Sarah Boyd

Fayetteville Fire Department shuts down hotel FAYETTEVILLE(AP) — Tenants at a Fayetteville hotel have until Monday to leave after fire officials say they found significant safety hazards. The Fayetteville Observer reported that inspectors found holes in walls and floors during a search of the Hotel Prince Charles on Friday and gave the roughly 20 tenants 48 hours to leave. Officials obtained an ad-
ministrative warrant to search the building after owner John Chen refused to grant them access. Chen wrote in an e-mail to the city and the newspaper that the city has been hostile toward his efforts to redevelop the 85-year-old hotel that he bought for $1.9 million at a 2007 auction. Rooms are rented monthto-month as apartments and there is some leased office
space. Fire marshal Ron Lewis says a tenant tipped off officials about unsafe demolition work.

California candidates for governor at odds over illegal immigrant housekeeper the start of their second debate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Jerry, you know you should be ashamed, you and your surrogates ... put her deportation at risk. You put it out there and you should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz on the altar of your political ambitions.â&#x20AC;? Brown responded by saying Whitman, the billionaire former chief executive of eBay, was trying to evade responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run for governor if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand up on your own two feet and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey I made a mistake,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Brown said in a moment fraught with tension as the two candidates, neck-and-neck in the polls, turned away from the audience and faced each other directly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have blamed her, blamed me, blamed the left,
blamed the unions. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take accountability.â&#x20AC;? Whitman had hoped to use the debate at California State University, Fresno to court Latino voters. She has worked hard to win support among independents and Latinos, who are crucial to the campaign of any Republican running in a state in which Democrats hold a 13.4 percentage point edge among registered voters. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been forced to explain how she had an illegal immigrant housekeeper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nicky Diaz Santillan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the payroll for nine years and, according to her, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it.

Refueling hose from cargo plane falls on house SAN DIEGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 75-foot refueling hose fell from a large cargo plane that was part of an air show Saturday and landed on a house in a San Diego County neighborhood, according to military officials. No one was injured. Investigators were trying to determine how the heavy-duty retractable rubber hose became detached from a C-130J Hercules, Maj. Jay Delarosa of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar said. The house in Carmel Mountain just north of the Marine base sustained roof damage. Retired navy nurse Cashmere Monroe was in the garage when the hose hit her home, and her 14-year-old daughter was in the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard the noise, I thought the garage door had hit something,â&#x20AC;? Monroe told the San Diego Union-Tribune. Monroe went inside and a neighbor knocked on her door and told her to look at the roof.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An ex-CIA spy slipped messages to his son from prison through paper napkins wadded into balls, despite the best efforts of the intelligence agency to monitor his communications, government prosecutors said in a pretrial filing. The Oregonian newspaper reports that according to court papers prosecutors filed Friday, Harold Nicholson, 59, sent his son around the globe to collect what he considered to be his â&#x20AC;&#x153;pension,â&#x20AC;? and told the Russian government about his older childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt. In the notes, prosecutors said, Nicholson sought financial assistance from the Russians and let them know he would help them if he could. He also told them he was thankful for the money and reassured them his son was trustworthy. The elder Nicholson pleaded guilty in 1997 to conspiring to commit espionage after being paid $300,000 to pass CIA secrets to the Russians. He is serving more than 23 years at the federal prison in Sheridan, just south of Portland. His son, Nathaniel Nicholson, pleaded guilty in the conspiracy last year.

house and a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. There was likely a small amount of jet fuel in the hose, according to Delarosa. The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said no fires were reported. Hazardous material crews and Marine Corps recovery teams were at the suburban home about 20 miles north of downtown San Diego early Saturday afternoon. Fire officials estimated the damage at $10,000. Delarosa didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the four-engine C130J was in the process of refueling another aircraft when the hose fell. The mishap occurred as the annual Miramar Air Show attracted tens of thousands of people to the Miramar base. The incident did not affect the air show, Delarosa said. The C-130J is a four-engine turboprop aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The transport planes are a military workhorse used around the world for more than 50 years, although the Marines fly newer versions of them.

CONNELLYS SPRINGS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The bodies of two boaters missing since Thursday have been found on Lake Rhodhiss near Connellys Springs. Caldwell County spokeswoman LouAnne Kincaid told The Charlotte Observer that the bodies of 53-year-old Kenneth Wayne Benfield of Newland and 51-year-old Terry Douglas Key of Colletsville were found Friday a couple miles north of Castle Bridge Marina. The two employees of Charlotte-based Crescent Resources were last seen putting their boat in the water at the marina. Kincaid says they were in a company boat and had planned to post forsale signs along the Catawba River. Fishermen found their empty boat Thursday along the shoreline with the motor running. Two life jackets were found inside in the boat.

John King said this is how the house at 318 e. 11th st. looked in 1997 when he bought it. umphant Emmanuel Pentecostal Church. Since he bought the houses on East 11th Street in 1997, King said he has made “vast improvements,” including repairing items that tenants had complained about for years. Morris, the elderly tenant, said conditions improved after King bought the properties. He replaced roofs the former owner had patched with plywood, King said. He fixed a front porch that had been held together with plywood and chicken wire, he said. Inside the occupied homes, he put up wallboard and repaired the plumbing, King said. He said he believes the homes have historic value and once housed slaves. Regarding photographs Branham took during the inspection, King said the city was “making stuff up.” “The city has too much power,” he said. Mold was actually dark paint bleeding through light paint, he said. Plastic on the ceiling was covering a flue, not a leak, he said. And the most inflammatory photo, depicting what the city called a “waste bucket for plumbing,” was actually soapy water, King said. The city stands behind the inspection. “The pictures speak for themselves,” Assistant City Manager Doug Paris said. “Their excuses for the conditions are getting more and more bizarre.” Branham said any reasonable observer would have known the ceiling leaked, the wall was moldy and the bucket contained waste of some kind. “It smelled horrendous,” he said. The city is not targeting the Kings, Paris said, including King’s brother Michael, who led a protest against the city in August. “This is not about the King family,” Paris said. “This is about ensuring that rental housing in Salisbury is safe and sanitary and fit for human habitation. These houses are not.” Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

he said. He cited King for mold growing inside, exposed wiring, a collapsing ceiling, a hole in the floor, inadequate plumbing and other violations of minimum housing standards. Holes in the siding and faulty exterior windows prompted Branham to obtain the administrative warrant, he said. When Branham returned last week to re-inspect the properties, he said King was cordial and cooperative. Every house was open, and every room was accessible, Branham said. Overall, King had made some corrections but the houses still were “by no means up to standards at this point,” Branham said. He acknowledged that King had shown an intention to make the necessary repairs, which allows him more time, Branham said. King had replaced a sink and cabinet in a bathroom, fixed the exposed wiring, capped an old flue and repaired a hole in the ceiling, and secured a bathroom sink to the wall, Branham said. The occupied houses both had hot and cold running water, and all toilets were in working condition. King had repaired a large exterior hole and had done some work on the roof, Branham said. He put a few smoke detectors in the houses, Branham said. However, the houses still need carbon monoxide detectors and, because they are rented by the room, need smoke detectors in every bedroom, Branham said. To pass inspection, King also must control pests and correct a cracked bathtub unit, Branham said. He said he was unable to inspect a wall where he found mold in May because clothes were blocking it. King said the city has damaged his name and is plotting against him. King, who said he drove a truck for Pillowtex until the mill went bankrupt in 2003, now drives a truck parttime and owns rental property, including two homes in East Spencer. King is pastor of Tri-

code, said Branham, who reinspected the properties Thursday. But the two occupied houses are still a danger to people living in them, he said. “It’s obvious the houses were not up to code, and they’re still not,” he said. King, who rents the houses by the room, denies Branham’s original findings and has appealed the code violations. King was on site Friday, making more repairs. If the city determines King hasn’t brought the occupied houses up to code in the next 15 to 30 days, Branham can request a demolition ordinance. A 30-day eviction process would begin for tenants. King has one year to bring the two vacant houses up to code. While Branham’s job is to enforce housing standards so tenants like Morris are safe, King said the housing inspector’s forceful entry in May sent the woman to the hospital. King and his wife, Denise King, were there when Branham and a police officer arrived with the administrative warrant. The two accounts of what happened differ greatly. The Kings say Branham forced his way into most of the houses with a crowbar and his foot, kicking in back doors without knocking. Morris, who said she has diabetes and high blood pressure, was inside her house and became frightened, rushing out the front door, the Kings said. “Citizens should not have to live in fear of the city,” King said. The stress of the incident made Morris ill, she said, and Denise King took her to the hospital, where she was treated for high blood pressure and released. Morris had difficulty explaining in detail what happened during the May 28 inspection but said Branham kicked in her door. Branham disagrees. According to Branham, he and a police officer knocked on the front door of every house, including the vacant ones, before entering. At each house, Branham said he asked King if he had a key to the property so Branham could avoid forceful entry and damage to the houses. King told him he did not have keys, Branham said. Branham said he went to the back door at 312 E. 11th St. and knocked, and someone let him in. He completed the inspection. At 318 E. 11th St., Branham said no one answered the front door. He and the officer knocked on the back door and when no one answered, Branham said he used the crowbar to pry the door open. “I don’t recall kicking the door,” he said. Branham said he was not aware that Morris was inside and never saw her in the house. The Kings said city officials ordered Morris to stay out of the house during the inspection and heat exposure contributed to her illness. But Branham said she could have come inside. The temperature inside the house that lacks air conditioning wasn’t any cooler, he said. Branham said he did kick in the door at 320 E. 11th St. after no one answered his knock, King would not produce a key and the crowbar was insufficient. “I tried to gain entry by using the least possible means,”

Democratic-leaning organizers hold ‘One Nation Working Together’ rally in capital
associated press
activists gather at the Lincoln Memorial in the nation’s capital to participate in the ‘one Nation Working together’ rally saturday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tapping into anger as the tea party movement has done, a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched by the thousands Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial and pledged to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill. “We are together. This march is about the power to the people,” said Ed Schultz, host of “The Ed Show” on MSNBC. “It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?” In a fiery speech that opened the “One Nation Working Together” rally on the National Mall, Schultz
blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s rhetoric and vowed to “take back our country.” “This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?” Schultz told the raucous crowd. “This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America.” With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Sen-
ate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate. More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists. Rose Dixon, a health care worker from Pawleys Island, S.C., said she hopes the rally sends a message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “Stop the obstructionism. Work together,” Dixon said.
New round of interviews coming in JonBenet case BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Police investigating the death of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey are conducting a new round of interviews, based on recommendations from an advisory committee. The committee, which included investigators from several state and federal agencies, met in 2009 after police took the lead in the case back from Boulder County prosecutors. Members reviewed evidence in the death of 6-year-old JonBenet, whose body was found in her family’s home in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996. Former District Attorney Mary Lacy said in 2008 that evidence suggests the killer was an unknown stranger, not a family member. Police Chief Mark Beckner wouldn’t reveal details about the continuing investigation or who police want to interview. JonBenet’s older brother Burke, who was 9 when JonBenet died, was contacted by police but hasn’t been interviewed yet, Ramsey family attorney Lin Wood said.
Fresh terror threats concern some officials WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering telling U.S. citizens to be vigilant as they travel in Europe, updated guidance prompted by fresh al-Qaida threats, American and European officials said Saturday. Such a move could have negative implications for European tourism if travelers fear there’s a possibility of terror attacks. The State Department may issue a travel alert as early advising Americans to stay vigilant as they travel because of fresh threat information, U.S. officials told the AP.

Pakistan keeps key border crossing shut ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan kept a vital border crossing closed to U.S. and NATO supply trucks for a third day, a sign that Islamabad’s desire to avoid a domestic backlash over a NATO incursion that killed three Pakistani troops is — for now — outweighing a desire to stay on good terms with America. Two U.S. missile strikes that killed 16 people in a northwest Pakistani tribal region, meanwhile, showed that America has no intention of sidelining a tactic it considers highly successful, even if it could add to tensions. The closing of the Torkham border crossing to NATO trucks has exposed the struggles and contradictions at the heart of the U.S.-Pakistan alliance against Islamist militancy. Both sides need one another: The U.S. gives billions in military and other aid to Pakistan, and the U.S. and NATO use Pakistani roads to transport the majority of their non-lethal supplies to troops in Afghanistan. But while the U.S.-led coalition is busy tackling every insurgent group they can along the Pakistani-Afghan border, Pakistan has only gone after certain groups sheltering on its side — the ones it deems most dangerous to its government, not to Westerners in Afghanistan.

Democrats all but write off three Senate seats WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats have all but written off at least three Senate seats — in North Dakota, Indiana and Arkansas — and at least six House seats in Tennessee, Louisiana, New York and elsewhere as they embark on a final-weeks push to minimize congressional election losses. Emboldened by their prospects, Republicans are throwing $3.4 million into West Virginia in hopes of winning a Senate seat that was long thought out of reach. It was the GOP’s latest move as the field heavily tilts its way. In the one-month dash to Election Day, both parties are zeroing in on races they have the best chances of winning. Democrats are especially worried about House districts in the economically troubled Midwest, and their chances of picking up GOP-held Senate seats have dwindled. In the final stretch, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has reserved at least $52 million to run TV ads in more than 60 districts, nearly all held by their own party. The National Republican Campaign Committee has set aside $35 million in airtime in 55 races, and officials say more is on the way.

Ex-militant leader arrested for Nigeria bombs LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — South African authorities have arrested an ex-leader of a militant group that claimed responsibility for a dual car bombing that killed 12 people in Nigeria, a Nigerian secret police spokeswoman said Saturday. The arrest of Henry Okah, a former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, came as Nigeria’s secretive State Security Service acknowledged it received a warning about the impending attack long before the bombs exploded Friday. Nonetheless, the militant group was still able to detonate the explosives only a 10-minute walk away from a ceremony in Nigeria’s capital Abuja attended by the president and other dignitaries in the oil-rich nation. “Unfortunately, there’s no way security can be 100 percent foolproof,” State Security Service spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar told The Associated Press. “We are happy all the same that the event went on smoothly and it wasn’t interrupted.” Ogar said a “foreign partner” provided her agency with information of an impending attack on the 50th anniversary celebrations. Okah is a former militant leader who left Nigeria for Johannesburg after being released from prison in July 2009 while facing treason and gun running charges.

LONDON (AP) — Druids have been worshipping the sun and earth for thousands of years in Europe, but now they can say they’re practicing an officially recognized religion. The ancient pagan tradition best known for gatherings at Stonehenge every summer solstice has been formally classed as a religion under charity law for the first time in Britain, the national charity regulator said Saturday. That means Druids can receive exemptions from taxes on donations — and now have the same status as such mainstream religions as the Church of England.

A Salisbury split Catawba defeats Wingate BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
WINGATE — Catawba quarterCatawba 35 b a c k Wingate 28 P a t r i c k Dennis celebrated the Indians’ amazing 35-28 win at Wingate on Saturday with a modest leap and an aerial chest-bump of massive tackle Kemp McSween. “I’ve learned when I chestbump the big guys to go straight up,” Dennis said. “Otherwise, they’ll knock me down.” Dennis jumps like he does everyBUNN thing else — intelligently. He had 285 passing yards and four TDs, and Brandon Bunn had the best day any Catawba receiver has ever enjoyed. Bunn surpassed immortals such as Bucky Pope and Ike Hill in the school record book. The slot receiver’s 10 catches included a Catawba-record four touchdowns. Bunn’s 247 receiving yards broke the single-game school record of 215 set in 1968 by Hill. Bunn also became Catawba’s career leader in TD catches with 27, two more than recent hero Nick Means. “They were man-to-man a lot,” Bunn said. “As a receiver, that’s what you ask for.” A wide-open Bunn scored a touchdown on a 74-yard reception on Catawba’s first snap. “It’s a play we call ‘Hurricane,’ ” Bunn explained. “Coach (Chip) Hester wanted to start with it. Pat made the throw. Once I caught it, all I had to do was keep running.” Catawba (3-1, 1-0 SAC) won

Shaw ruins Livingstone Homecoming BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
All this young talent Elvin James has Shaw 34 talked about is L’Stone 0 starting to look a lot more young than talented. Livingstone’s football team provided another four quarters of evidence Saturday at Alumni Stadium, where the winless Blue Bears offered little resistance in a 34-0 homecoming loss to Shaw. “We lost focus,” said James, the ever-optimistic first-year coach. “We let penalties ruin our chances. The one bright spot was our punter, who did a tremen-

dous job.” It’s never a good sign when a punter is your best — and busiest — player on the field. But freshman Logan Haynes was called to duty 11 times and averaged 38.9 yards-per-kick with a long of 51. On this festive music-filled afternoon, it was all Livingstone (0-6, 0-3 CIAA) could applaud. “Too many mistakes,” said wide receiver Omar McFadden. “We do it to ourselves every game and we did it to ourselves today.” LC’s offense was non-existent, totaling just 26 yards, three first downs and four turnovers. The Blue Bears’ running game fin-
ished in the red (minus-13 yards) and they were 0-for-16 on thirddown conversion attempts. What’s more, their quarterback situation remains unsettled six games into the season. James gave his seal-of-approval to sophomore Levon Stanley, who started and played the first three quarters. But ineffective play relegated him to the sideline in favor of Erik Wallace — who played one series — and later Curtis Edens, who steered the Blue Bears all the way to the Shaw 3-yard line in the fourth period before someone hit the selfdestruct button. wayne hinshaw/sALisBUrY post

Searcy, UNC rip ECU BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — Shaun Draughn needed some time to look like his old UNC 42 self after missing North ECU 17 Carolina’s opener due to an ongoing NCAA investigation. Da’Norris Searcy, however, didn’t wait to make an impact. Draughn scored three second-half touchdowns while Searcy returned an interception for a touchdown in his first game back to help the Tar Heels beat East Carolina 42-17 on Saturday, their second straight win after an 0-2
start. Draughn ran for 137 yards for the still-depleted Tar Heels (2-2), who were without 11 players amid the NCAA review into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct. Johnny White also ran for a career-high 140 yards while T.J. Yates threw two TD passes as North Carolina beat its instate rival here for the second straight season. North Carolina won at Rutgers last week, then dominated after halftime to give the twotime defending Conference USA champion PiAssociAted press rates (2-2) their worst loss since a 48-7 defeat UNc’s da’Norris searcy (21) at West Virginia in September 2007.

Pack loses 17-0 lead, game to Hokies BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
RALEIGH — Virginia Tech needed one Va. Tech 41 of the most N.C. State 30 impressive comebacks in school history to take the next step back from a different kind of deficit. Tyrod Taylor threw a 39yard touchdown pass to Jarrett Boykin with 1:27 left, and the Hokies staged their biggest rally under coach Frank Beamer, rallying from 17 points down to beat No. 23 North Carolina State 41-30 on
Saturday. “I’ve had a lot of proud moments at Virginia Tech, a lot of good teams,” Beamer said. “But I’ve never been prouder of a team than I am today.” Taylor finished 12 of 24 for 123 yards with three touchdown passes and rushed for 121 yards to lead the Hokies (3-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) back from a 17-0 deficit to their third straight victory. He and the Hokies got their offense clicking just in time. They scored on five of their seven second-half possessions and came away with 34 points
after halftime. At times, they barely resembled the team that started 0-2 and plummeted from the Top 25 with season-opening losses to Boise State and James Madison. “If we get off to a fast start like we played in the second half,” running back Darren Evans said, “we’re going to be a tough team to beat.” Evans rushed for 160 yards and touchdowns covering 54 and 3 yards, and David Wilson returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score. Russell Wilson threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns for the Wolfpack (4-1,
1-1), but was intercepted three times by Jayron Hosley. They were off to their best start since 2002 and entered as the ACC’s last remaining unbeaten, but their first appearance in the national rankings since ’03 likely will be a short one. “It’s football. Football has no friends,” receiver Owen Spencer said. “It’s a two-faced game. You’re never on top the whole game. It can turn easily. You just have to maintain it. The team that can maintain it the best is the team that’s going to come out and win.”

It’s down to one game for Braves Atlanta now tied for wild-card spot BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Braves are runPhillies 7 ning out of Braves 0 chances to send Bobby Cox into retirement with one more playoff appearance. Vance Worley combined with four relievers on a three-hitter and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the punchless Braves 7-0 Saturday to drop Atlanta into a tie for the NL wild-card spot. Atlanta’s loss and San Diego’s 4-2 win over San Francisco left the Braves and Padres tied for the wild card with one game left in the regular season. “We’ve got to suck it up and win a game,” Cox said. “We have to, tomorrow. We need to win and we’ve got the right guy going and we need to bust open with the bats a little bit. “We’re still breathing, San Diego is still breathing, the Giants are breathing hard. They’ve done what we’ve done, they’ve lost two
in a row to the wrong teams. We need to win.” The Braves’ hopes of advancing to the postseason in Cox’s final season as manager will be on the line against the Phillies today. Atlanta ace Tim Hudson is scheduled to face Cole Hamels. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, preparing his rotation for the playoffs, said that Hamels will “probably” pitch only two innings. Manuel said Roy Oswalt “will pitch somewhere in the game” behind Hamels. The Braves can earn their first postseason berth since 2005 with a victory Sunday and a Padres loss in San Francisco. “We’re down to the last game; it’s good to say it means something,” Braves right fielder Jason Heyward said. “We’ve been through a lot this season.” The game followed a tribute to Cox attended by about 70 former players and coaches — and an Atlanta-record crowd of 54,296. During the ceremony, Cox congratulat-

The Major League roundup ... SAN FRANCISCO — Heath Bell stopped a Giants rally in the ninth inning and the San Diego Padres beat San Francisco 4-2 Saturday, leaving two NL playoff races in doubt heading into the final day of the season. Pablo Sandoval hit an RBI single with one out in the ninth, but Bell got pinch-hitter Jose Guillen to ground into a game-ending double play with runners at the corners. Tim Stauffer gave San Diego another clutch start, and the Padres pulled within one game of the Giants in the NL West. The Padres also tied Atlanta for the wild-card spot when the Braves lost to Philadelphia. Reds 7, Brewers 4 CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce hit two more homers, the second one upheld upon review, and Cincinnati beat Milwaukee to reach 90 wins for the first time since 1999. Bruce clinched the NL Central title on Tuesday with a ninth-inning homer. He extended his final-week tear with a two-run shot off lefthander Chris Capuano and a solo homer that was reviewed for possible fan interference. With the Reds resting players to get ready for the playoffs, Corky Miller hit a two-run homer off Todd Coffey (2-4) in the seventh, when the Reds broke open a tie game. Cardinals 1, Rockies 0, 11 innings ST. LOUIS — Ubaldo Jimenez wound up a tough-luck 19-game winner, exiting his third attempt at 20 after working eight scoreless innings in St. Louis’ 11-inning victory over Colorado. Mets 7, Nationals 2 NEW YORK) — David Wright hit a threerun homer in the seventh inning to power a New York starting lineup of seven rookies past Washington. Cubs 8, Astros 3 HOUSTON — Aramis Ramirez hit his first grand slam in more than two years and Marlon Byrd drove in three runs as Chicago beat Houston. Marlins 2, Pirates 0 MIAMI — Fill-in starter Jorge Sosa and four relievers combined on a six-hitter, pitching Florida to a victory over the road-weary Pittsburgh Pirates. American League BOSTON — Brett Gardner raced home on an error by second baseman Bill Hall in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 6-5 Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader to maintain a half-game lead in the AL East. Rays 4, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Joyce hit a tworun triple and eight pitchers combined on a shutout, leading Tampa Bay past Kansas City and pushing the AL East race to the final day of the season. If the Rays and Yankees finish the regular season in a tie, Tampa Bay is the division winner because it won the season series 10-8. The Yankees would get the wild card. Twins 5, Blue Jays 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Alexi Casilla hit a twoout, two-run single in the ninth inning and the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins rallied past the Toronto Blue Jays. Rangers 6, Angels 2 ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton hit his first homer in more than a month and had three RBIs, C.J. Wilson pitched five effective innings and Texas tuned up for the playoffs with a victory over Los Angeles. Hamilton’s two-run drive off Ervin Santana (17-10) was his 32nd homer of the season, matching a career high and giving the AL West champions a 3-2 lead. Orioles 2, Tigers 1 BALTIMORE — Brian Matusz struck out a career-high nine to win his sixth consecutive decision, Nick Markakis homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat Detroit, handing the Tigers their sixth straight loss.

Kansas critical in Chase
Mets braced for shakeup
Associated Press Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — There’s a ton of racing left to decide this season’s NASCAR champion, and a bad day at Kansas Speedway shouldn’t cripple a driver’s chances. But statistics show that today’s race, the third of 10 in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, could be the most critical. The eventual champion left Kansas ranked either first or second in the standings in five of the first six Chases, and the champion has only finished outside the top-10 at Kansas once. So it made sense that the 12 title contenders all approached the Chase with a wary eye on the 1.5-mile oval. “I said it from the beginning of the Chase — this is the one where I feel like we’ve got to make our most,” said Kyle Busch, who is ranked third. “We need to come out of here with a solid top-10, just to keep us in the hunt and not lose too much ground to the guys in front of us.” Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson is the only driver in the history of the Chase to have an off day at Kansas and still hoist the Sprint Cup at the end of the year. It came in 2006, when he finished 14th but went on to his first championship. He’s the only driver to win a championship despite not scoring a top-10 finish at Kansas. Off to a slow Chase start that season, Johnson left Kansas ranked eighth in the standings, 165 points out of the lead. In every other season, the champ was ranked at least first or second after Kansas. Because four of the remaining six races are on intermediate tracks with similarities to Kansas, Johnson believes a strong run today could tighten up the Chase standings. As it is, seven drivers are within 83 points of leader Denny Hamlin. And though many consider Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer already out of the running, Johnson hasn’t ruled out those drivers using Kansas as a springboard back.

Logano wins Nationwide Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Joey Logano has plenty of experience racing teammate Kyle Busch for wins. He’s also had his fill of losing races to Busch. Given another chance Saturday to knock off his teammate, Logano got aggressive on a late restart to get past Busch, then used a push from Brad Keselowski to hold on at Kansas Speedway for his second Nationwide Series win of the season. It was the 16th Nationwide victory this season for Joe Gibbs Racing, and gave Toyota the manufacturers title for the third consecutive year. Busch, who led a race-high 64 laps while chasing his 12th Nationwide win of the year, faded to third behind Logano and Keselowski. It appeared Mike Wallace, who used fuel strategy to grab the lead late, maybe would steal the win. But a caution for Trevor Bayne’s spin forced him to surrender the lead to pit for gas, and Busch and Logano slid into the top two positions. Logano ran Busch high up the track on the restart with six laps to go and darted past his teammate for the lead. But a wreck by Aric Almirola moments later brought out another caution, and Logano fretted about potential payback from Busch on the final restart. It never came into play as points leader Keselowski, who was lined up behind Logano, gave a huge push to help Logano clear Busch.
Keselowski said later he was paying Logano back for giving him similar help in a win at Talladega. “He helped me out a lot, which was perfect because I pushed him to a couple wins,” Logano said. “So it was nice of him to push me once. Me and Brad have been getting along great lately, which is awesome. It was cool to see him behind me and able to help me out.” Busch, who was livid over his team radio after Logano ran him high to take the lead, was far more reserved after the race. “When Brad pushed him on the final restart, I knew there was nothing I could do,” Busch shrugged. In all, it was a bizarre day for Busch, who spun out by himself while leading midway through the race. Logano has six second-place finishes this season, and lost to Busch in three of them, including last week at Dover. “Every time you finish second, it seems that wall is a little higher, and it’s cool to get over it,” Logano said. “It definitely gets frustrating when you feel like you should have won a lot more races. That also makes you want it a little more and makes it a little sweeter when you do win.” Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. rounded out the top five. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished sixth to take the lead in the rookie of the year standings, and Justin Allgaier was seventh. Paul Menard, Brendan Gaughan and Jason Leffler rounded out the top 10.
Europe eyeing big comeback on U.S.
NEW YORK — The New York Mets are braced for a shakeup. Manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya both said they have not been notified they are losing their jobs following another season filled with injuries rather than accomplishments. Sports Illustrated, citing unidentified sources, reported on its website earlier in the day that the team will announce after the season that the pair won’t return in their roles. Speculation about their futures has swirled for weeks. The guaranteed portion of Manuel’s contract expires at the end of the season, and Minaya, completing his sixth season, is due two more years.
NEWPORT, Wales — The Americans stood behind the 18th green with smiles rarely seen on European soil as they watched yet another match go their way Saturday in the Ryder Cup. They won the opening two sessions. They had a 6-4 lead over Europe. They grabbed lunch and headed back out to the golf course. And then, it all changed. Two hours later, Europe was leading all six matches when darkness stopped play at Celtic Manor. The Americans still had the lead. It just didn’t feel that way. And with so much European blue on the scoreboard, it didn’t even look that way. “Momentum is key in these match-
es, and we haven’t had any yet,” European captain Colin Montgomerie said. “And it’s been a superb session from the moment that we set off.” No points are awarded until a match is over, but it was looking good for Europe — especially with Lee Westwood and Luke Donald handing Tiger Woods one of his worst beatings ever in a Ryder Cup. They were 4 up over Woods and Steve Stricker through nine holes. “I’d say it wasn’t a bad thing that it got dark,” U.S. captain Corey Pavin said. There has never been a day at the Ryder Cup quite like this one. About the only thing that resembled a typical Ryder Cup was 11 hours of golf at its highest level. Sixteen players from both sides competed in parts of three matches.

Livingstone’s quarterback Levon stanley prepares to throw downfield. the Blue Bear offense managed just 26 yards.
LIVINGSTONE FROM 1B “This is the hardest part,” James tried to explain. “We worked hard, we got down there and then we gave it all away. Why can’t we take advantage of what people give us? That’s what I’ve got to find out.” There were many more questions than answers. Here’s another: how could Livingstone’s defense force six
Shaw turnovers and still get steamrolled? “Are you kidding me?” McFadden said in disbelief. “No team in the NCAA can win with six turnovers. But when your opponents’ offense isn’t producing, you can win. The defense played their game today. We didn’t play ours.” LC’s defense intercepted four passes — three of them in the red zone — and linebacker Bryan Aycoth and defensive back Devonta Harmon recovered fumbles. Yet
The opening fourballs session ended before lunch, followed by six alternateshot matches, and play finally was stopped with six matches of both formats still going on. On two occasions, a fourballs match allowed an alternateshot match to play through. “I’m not sure what day it is,” Zach Johnson said. Heavy rain was in the forecast for Sunday, with 12 singles matches still to play after the third session is completed. Any stoppage would result in the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history. Woods and Stricker won their second straight match convincingly, Stewart Cink delivered a clutch putt and 21year-old Rickie Fowler atoned for a bizarre blunder by making a birdie on the 18th hole for an unlikely half-point.
Shaw (3-2, 2-0) still racked up 430 yards total offense, including 253 on the ground. “It’s frustrating,” linebacker Justin Johnson said. “We played the way a defense is supposed to play. All we can do is continue to play hard. The offense will come around sooner or later.” Shaw took a 7-0 first-quarter lead when tailback Ray Williams (18 carries, 145 yards) bolted 34 yards up the middle for his second TD of the season. It was still a onepossession game late in the first half as the teams seemingly traded giveaways and punts. “We expected that,” said winning coach Darrell Asberry. “I told our team to be ready because it was (Livingstone’s) homecoming. And if a team doesn’t get up for homecoming, something’s wrong.” A punt return to the LC 28 triggered Shaw’s second touchdown with 1:07 remaining in the second quarter. This time lefty quarterback Kevin Atkins spiraled a 19-yard completion to Tyrone Craig, who was running a square-in pattern from the right side. The bleeding continued in

LONDON — Kobe Bryant is fulfilling a lifelong sports dream in London, and it has nothing to do with basketball. Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers will open their preseason against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the O2 Arena on Monday in the first game of the NBA’s annual European tour. But it’s the opportunity to watch some Premier League soccer that has the finals MVP feeling like a child again. Bryant will attend the match between London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge today, one of the highlights of the English soccer calendar. “When I was a kid growing up in Italy, I wanted to go watch a Premier game,” Bryant said. “Now to finally have an opportunity some 20 years later to go watch a Premier game is incredible.” Many European basketball fans feel the same way about the chance to watch Bryant and the Lakers —

He combined with Antonio Bastardo (2-0), Danys Baez, Ryan Madson and Jose Contreras on the shutout. “Maybe I’ll have an opportunity to get a shot at a starting job in spring training,” Worley said.

Miami's Mike Brown scores a touchdown against clemson's Brandon Maye.
Miami edges Tigers Associated Press
The Top 25 roundup ... CLEMSON, S.C. — Quarterback Jacory Harris got No. 16 Miami ahead. Cornerback Brandon Harris made sure that lead stood up in the Hurricanes’ Atlantic Coast Conference opener. Jacory Harris tied a career best with four first-half touchdown passes while teammate Harris stuffed Andre Ellington on fourth down to end Clemson’s best chance to rally back in Miami’s 30-21 victory on Saturday. The Hurricanes (3-1, 1-0 ACC) have long grown accustomed to Jacory Harris’ heroics. This time, they saw a second Harris and their top-ranked ACC defense take center stage. “It may be? I’d say it is” the play of the game, Miami cornerback Ryan Hill said. Ahead 27-21, Brandon Harris stopped Ellington on 4thand-1 from Miami’s 20 with 8:20 to go, ending the Tigers comeback bid. The Hurricanes followed with a mistake-free, 68-yard drive that finished with Matt Bosher’s clinching 29-yard field goal. It didn’t seem like Miami would need its defense to shine after Jacory Harris threw three touchdowns to Leonard Hankerson and one to Mike James to put the Hurricanes ahead 27-14. Clemson (2-2, 0-1) came into the game with the ACC’s fewest turnovers — just two its first three games. But Miami forced the Tigers into three fumbles and three interceptions. “There is no way to have an effective offense with flaws like these,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. Jacory Harris finished 13 of 33 for 205 yards with the two interceptions. No. 3 Boise St. 59, New Mexico St. 0 LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Kellen Moore was 13 of 18 for 196 yards and three touchdowns, including two scoring passes to tight end Kyle Efaw, and No. 3 Boise State beat lowly New Mexico State 59-0. Doug Martin ran for a 1-yard touchdown and caught a 28yard TD pass from Moore, as the Broncos (4-0, 1-0 WAC) extended their winning streak to 18 games. Boise Statewas the highest ranked team to visit Las Cruces and sure looked the part. No. 4 Oregon 52, No. 9 Stanford 31 EUGENE, Ore. — Darron Thomas threw for 238 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 117 yards and a score to lead No. 4 Oregon to a 52-31 victory over No. 9 Stanford. The Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Pac-10) fell behind 21-3 in the first quarter of the frenzied game, but forced two crucial turnovers in the second half to take control. LaMichael James ran for 257 yards and three touchdowns. It was Oregon’s 13th straight win at Autzen Stadium and 10th consecutive Pac-10 victory. Stanford (4-1, 1-1) has not won a game while ranked in the top 10 since 1970. No. 5 TCU 27, Colorado State 0 FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Ed Wesley scored twice, TCU’s swarming defense forced two fumbles and the Horned Frogs overcame a lethargic start to beat Colorado State. The Frogs (5-0, 1-0 Mountain West) were making their first trip out of the state of Texas this season and struggled early, leading just 6-0 at halftime. No. 10 Auburn 52, Louisiana-Monroe 3 AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton connected with Emory Blake on a school-record 94-yard touchdown pass on his first throw and Auburn went on to rout Louisiana-Monroe. Newton completed 14 of 19 passes for 245 yards with three touchdowns before sitting out most of the second half for the Tigers (5-0). No. 12 LSU 16, Tennessee 14 BATON ROUGE, La. — No. 12 LSU blew one final chance, then made the most of another. The Tigers remained unbeaten with a 16-14 victory over Tennessee after a Volunteers penalty for too many players on the field gave them a second shot at victory. LSU (5-0, 3-0 SEC) was confused on thirdand-goal from the 1 and allowed the clock to run nearly to zero before a botched snap sent Tennessee players streaming onto the field in celebration as time ran out. But the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) had 13 defensive players on the field when the ball was snapped, which allowed LSU to run one more play from the 1. Stevan Ridley punched in a 1-yard touchdown for the wild win. No. 17 Iowa 24, No. 22 Penn State 3 IOWA CITY, Iowa — Ricky Stanzi threw for 227 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score, and No. 17 Iowa overwhelmed 22nd-ranked Penn State 24-3 for its third straight win over the Nittany Lions. Adam Robinson added 95 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten), who recorded their biggest win ever over Penn State. Rob Bolden had 212 yards passing for Penn State (3-2, 0-1), which has scored just six points in a pair of road losses to Alabama and the Hawkeyes. Washington 32, No. 18 USC 3 LOS ANGELES — Jake Locker engineered a long drive to set up Erik Folk’s 32-yard field goal as time expired, and Washington beat No. 18 Southern California 32-31. Locker passed for 310 yards and rushed for 111 more as the Huskies (2-2, 1-0 Pac-10) racked up 537 yards of offense in their second straight win over the Trojans (4-1, 1-1). No. 19 Michigan 42, Indiana 35 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Denard Robinson ran 4 yards for a TD with 17 seconds left to give a 42-35 victory at Indiana and complete another spectacular performance by the Wolverines’ star quarterback. Robinson ran 19 times for 217 yards and two scores, completed 10-of-16 passes for 277 yards and three scores and the game-winning drive was almost all about him. No 24 Michigan State 34, No. 11 Wisconsin 24 EAST LANSING, Mich. — Kirk Cousins lofted a 1-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Cunningham on fourth down with 2:43 remaining, helping Michigan State seal its second straight victory without coach Mark Dantonio. Dantonio, who had a mild heart attack Sept. 19, planned to return for this game, but the Spartans (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) announced hours before kickoff that he had been hospitalized again Thursday because of a blood clot in his leg. He is expected to recover.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — All Alabama. The top-ranked Alabama 31 Crimson Tide turned Florida 6 the latest edition of the Southeastern Conference’s super heavyweight rivalry into an overwhelming display of power. Mark Ingram scored two touchdowns, C.J. Mosley returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown and the topranked Crimson Tide overwhelmed No. 7 Florida 31-6 on Saturday night. Round 2 this season between the last two national champions could come in Atlanta at the SEC title game. Alabama (5-0, 2-0) certainly looked like a team on its way to another championship season. In front of 101,821 at a blaring BryantDenny Stadium, coach Nick Saban’s Tide rolled to a 24-0 lead in the second quarter, behind Ingram’s two short TD runs and a defense that was buzzing around the ball. After the Gators (4-1, 2-1) chipped it down to 24-6, Mosley picked off a short pass in the middle of the field by a hurried John Brantley, racing to the end zone for a score that all but wrapped up Alabama’s 19th straight victory with 6:10 left in the third quarter. “I was very, very pleased with the way we played in the first half,” Saban said. “I thought we played physical, played with toughness, played strong. I was really encouraged.”

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — When Terrelle Ohio State 24 P r y o r 13 sprinted out Illinois of the locker room late in the third quarter, the sound that came from several thousand red-shirted Buckeye fans was pure relief. Pryor was back and the game, surely, was in hand. Good thing they didn’t realize how bad Pryor’s left quadriceps felt. The Heisman Trophy candidate returned from a leg injury that briefly knocked him from the game, then led No. 2 Ohio State on two drives that sealed a come-from-behind, 24-13 win over Illinois on Saturday. “The worst thing was when I came back and the guys thought I was all right and they were saying, ’Come on Terrelle, lead us,”’ Pryor said. “There was no way I could do anything but hand the ball off and maybe get a couple passes.” Pryor was helped by the pounding of tailback Dan Herron and a Buckeye defense that held Illinois to 251 total yards and, after the first quarter, a pair of field goals. The star Ohio State quarterback said that after the
terrelle pryor came back from an injury. game that he isn’t sure how bad the injury is, but he expects to play next week against Indiana. Coach Jim Tressel said he also didn’t know yet how serious his junior quarterback was hurt. “I was in full stride and all of a sudden I felt and heard something pop and I was like ’What’s going on?”’ Pryor said. “It was probably the worst pain I had in a while.” After being helped from form the field and limping to the locker room, his replacement, Joe Bauserman, threw an interception to Illinois safety Trulon Henry. The Illini went three-andout, though, and Pryor came back a few minutes later, running to the sideline to Buckeye fans’ loud cheers — and scattered boos from Illini fans. The momentum didn’t change right away, but it only took the Buckeyes a couple of possessions to get moving. On a 14-play, 59-yard drive that chewed up almost eight minutes of the third and fourth quarters, Pryor and the Buckeyes’ backfield finally pounded the Illini out of the game.
DALLAS — Knocked flat on his Oklahoma 28 b a c k , Texas 20 L a n d r y Jones took a swipe at the ball he’d just fumbled and did his best to keep it — and the Red River Rivalry — from getting away. Linebacker Jared Norton came rushing in with a chance to put No. 21 Texas in prime position for a tying touchdown, only to see the ball roll out of bounds. In control from the beginning, No. 8 Oklahoma was just happy to survive with a 2820 win over its main rival Saturday. “It was pretty lucky on our part to get that ball out of bounds and not have a big turnover right there,” said Jones, who threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns. In a game in which they benefited from one untimely Texas mistake after another, the Sooners (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) caught another break two plays later when Aaron Williams muffed a punt that would have given the Longhorns (3-2, 1-1) one last chance for a tying drive in the final 62 seconds. It was the second straight week Oklahoma nearly let a two-touchdown lead slip away but benefited from a dropped punt in the fourth quarter. Cincinnati’s D.J. Woods was the culprit in the

FroM 1B on the road despite flaws. The Indians had two punts blocked, rushed for minus yardage and allowed 316 passing yards to Cody Haffly. Yet they found a way to escape with a mammoth SAC win. “We don’t want anyone to just give us respect,” defensive captain Brandon Sutton said. “Respect is something that you must earn. Today, we earned some.” A relieved Hester beamed like a kid at Christmas. “We’re a work in progress, but as many mistakes as we made, we battled from the first play to the last one,” he said. “When guys are willing to fight that hard, you can overcome some mistakes.” Wingate beat Catawba at Shuford Stadium last October, a 42-17 romp in which the Indians’ only resistance was two Dennis-to-Bunn TD passes. That beating obviously fueled Catawba for the rematch. Wingate (2-2, 0-1) answered Catawba’s quick-strike TD at the start, but L.J. McCray’s electric, 71-yard kickoff return set up the second Dennis-
huge game, with a primetime national television audience and a rockin’ crowd loud enough at times to match the jet fly over before kickoff. The stakes, however, were far from do or die. As good as Alabama looked, and the defending national champions looked every bit like the No. 1 team in the country, there’s a long way to go and plenty of SEC games to play. As for the Gators, well, they can hope for another shot at ’Bama in December, but right now the gap between the SEC’s top two programs looks wide enough to park a couple of doublewide trailers. Remember, the last time the Tide and Gators got together, Alabama rolled to a 32-13 victory in an SEC championship game that left Tim Tebow in tears. This time Alabama’s defense knocked around Brantley and stymied a Florida offense that looked as if it had found some answers last week in a 48-14 victory against Kentucky. Against Dont’a Hightower, Courtney Upshaw and the Tide, and with leading rusher Jeff Demps playing with a sore foot, the Gators couldn’t get into the end zone and committed four turnovers. Brantley passed for 202 yards with two interceptions, and while he was only sacked once, he took several hard shots. Freshman Trey Burton, the Gators’ new short-yardage specialist who scored a record six touchdowns last week, was bottled up in his few opportunities and showed he’s no Tebow.

to-Bunn TD. Then Dennis hit tight end Grayson Downs for a 5-yard TD and a 21-7 lead. Catawba had the ball at its 48 with the first half ending, and strong-armed Daniel Griffith, the Indians’ hail-Mary guy, checked in. He heaved a bomb to the end zone just as he was blasted hard by a Bulldog. It was Bunn’s day, and the deflected ball found him for a 28-7 halftime edge. “I just ran down there and got behind everybody in case of a tip,” Bunn said. “Then the ball came right to me.” Wingate wouldn’t quit, and Catawba couldn’t run the ball, so it was hard to drain the clock in the second half. Bunn got his fourth TD in the third quarter, but Wingate’s two punt blocks — one for a TD, one that led to a TD — left Catawba clinging desperately to a 35-28 lead late. The Indians needed first

Sooners’ 31-29 win last week. “There’s so many times in this game where we had opportunities to win,” Texas coach Mack Brown said, “and we didn’t take advantage of the opportunities we had.” When it was all over, Oklahoma defensive captain Travis Lewis trotted around the south end zone of the Cotton Bowl with the Golden Hat Trophy tilted atop his head, getting the crimson-clad fans left from the record-tying crowd of 96,009 riled up. The Sooners had lost to Texas the past two years, and four of the last five. “This has been a long time coming, and I’ve been on the losing end of this for two years,” Lewis said. “So there’s a lot of built-up frustration coming out running around the field. I’m going to enjoy every minute of this.” The Longhorns dropped back-to-back games for the first time since 2007, following a surprising 34-12 loss at home to UCLA last week, and are in danger of falling out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in 10 years. Their 162 consecutive weeks in the rankings are the longest active streak in the country. Ohio State is a distant second at 89 in a row. Garrett Gilbert completed 27 of 41 passes for 265 yards with no touchdowns, and he didn’t get much help in his rivalry debut as Texas’ starting quarterback.
“We were fortunate that we had the right calls at the right times all day,” Dennis said. “They kept their safeties out wide and we were able to work the middle of the field for a lot of big plays.” Working the middle again, Bunn broke clean, and Dennis hit him in stride for the 46yard gain that allowed the Indians to run out the clock. Dennis, his eyes fixed on the time, sprinted straight back and then laterally to the Wingate sideline to exhaust the final five seconds. It was the best 20-yard loss of his life. When he got up, it was time to chest-bump McSween. “Wingate was one of those teams that picked us to finish seventh,” Bunn said happily. “We won’t be seventh.”
NOTES: Sutton went down with a knee injury with 13 minutes left when he sacked Haffly with the aid of Brandon Weedon and Lakeem Perry. ... Cory Johnson was in on 17 tackles. ... Kewone Harris picked off a pass in the end zone. ... Julian Hartsell was credited with a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery on one magnificent play as he swooped around Haffly and slapped the ball loose.

Wake Forest, Duke lose Associated Press
The ACC roundup .... WINSTON-SALEM — Joshua Nesbitt shook a rough start with a brilliant fourth-quarter, throwing a 9-yard touchdown pass to Correy Earls with 15 seconds left in Georgia Tech’s 24-20 comeback win over Wake Forest on Saturday night. Nesbitt led the Yellow Jackets (3-2, 2-1 ACC). Josh Adams rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown and Brandon Pendergrass added a rushing TD for the Demon Deacons (3-2, 2-1), who nearly won with fourth-string quarterback Skylar Jones. Ted Stachitas and Brendan Cross were injured early in the game with starter Tanner Price already sidelined. Maryland 21, Duke 16 COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Tony Logan scored on an 84-yard punt return in the third quarter to give Maryland its first lead, and the Terrapins held on to beat Duke 21-16
UNC FROM 1B “We’ve had a lot of off-the-field stuff that’s distracting,” Yates said, “but this team has done an amazing job of just blocking it out and moving on.” Draughn had only 14 carries behind White in his first two games. But with White hobbled by an ankle injury, Draughn got 22 carries for 120 yards in the second half as North Carolina pulled away. Draughn even got carries near the goal-line, which he joked was “unfamiliar territory” since that job typically falls to Ryan Houston — one of nine players whose status remains in question due to the NCAA probe. Draughn took advantage with a 1yard run late in the third to make it 28-17, then bulled over defenders at the pylon for a 4-yard score midway through the fourth. He scored on a 13-yard run in the final minute, capping an eight-play drive in which he carried on every play. “I feel like those two games were to get my feet back under me,” Draughn said. “I wanted to play (more), but of course, Coach (Butch Davis) knew I needed to get my feet under me. But I’m getting back and getting that rhythm back.” It marked the first time in six years that the Tar Heels had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game, and the first time in five years that
PACK FROM 1B Josh Czajkowski’s third field goal of the day, a 42-yarder with 4:42 left, put the Wolfpack up 30-28. But Taylor’s 2-point pass was incomplete, leaving it at 34-30. N.C. State’s Wilson heaved the ball downfield on his first offensive play after that, but Hosley picked it off with 1:02 left. Evans then powered in with 28 seconds remaining to make the score look more lopsided than it actually was. Taylor also threw touchdown passes of 10 and 4 yards to Andre Smith and got Virginia Tech’s offense rolling just in time to avoid its first ACC loss. He gave the Hokies their first lead with 12:24 remaining when he found Smith alone in the back of the end zone to make it 28-27. That came after big plays from David Wilson and Evans got them back in the game. Wilson took the second-half kickoff and raced down the left sideline for the score that pulled Tech to 17-13. On the Hokies’ next possession, Evans ran unimpeded
Saturday night. Maryland (4-1, 1-0 ACC trailed 9-0 midway in the second quarter and 9-7 at halftime before coming back. The Terrapins have already doubled their win total of last year, when they went 2-10. Duke (1-4, 0-2) has lost four straight. Sophomore Sean Renfree completed 28 of 56 passes for 351 yards and a touchdown, but he was intercepted twice. Florida State 34, Virginia 14 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Jermaine Thomas ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. The Seminoles (4-1, 2-0 ACC) led 27-0 at halftime after outgaining Virginia 294-42. Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 BOSTON — Dayne Crist threw for two first-quarter touchdowns and ran for another on Saturday night as Notre Dame built a 21point lead and coasted past BC. The Fighting Irish (2-3) had lost three straight games — all to teams currently in The AP Top 25.
the Pirates had allowed two 100-yard rushers. North Carolina finished with 263 yards rushing, more than their first three games combined. “With the things (Davis has) going on, to hold the team together like he has and get them to play, my hat has to go off to this group,” East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill said. “I told him that after the football game.” The Tar Heels got a boost from Searcy, a safety who started every game last season. The school had held him out of the first three games. The announcement came so late that Davis wondered how much Searcy could contribute. But Searcy made a huge play, grabbing an overthrown pass from Dominique Davis then cutting back inside of Dwayne Harris’ attempted tackle for a 46-yard return that tied it at 14 heading into halftime. “I was just out there crying and jumping around,” Searcy said. “I was so glad to be out there.” Davis threw for 244 yards and a touchdown. But Davis threw three interceptions as the game steadily slipped away, with the Tar Heels outscoring the Pirates 35-3 in the final 33 minutes. “They think they’re better than us, but I feel they’re really not,” ECU running Jon Williams said. “Everybody on this team knows that. We just shot ourselves in the foot. There was no way they were supposed to win this game. The better team did not win this game.”
through the right side for his first TD, and Taylor hit Danny Coale with the 2-point conversion. That pulled the Hokies to within three, at 24-21, midway through the third. Spencer finished with 145 yards receiving on six catches. Jarvis Williams had four receptions for 103 yards for N.C. State, which rolled up 507 total yards. Russell Wilson finished with scoring passes covering 7 yards to George Bryan, 2 yards to Dean Haynes and 34 yards to Williams. Feeding off the energy of the thirdlargest crowd in Carter-Finley Stadium history, the Wolfpack pounced on the Hokies early, jumping out to a 17-0 lead four plays into the second quarter. Wilson first hit Bryan at the pylon for one touchdown, then flipped a pass to Haynes for another before Czajkowski’s 37-yarder. “We just got off schedule,” Spencer said. “We’re not a complacent team, because we’ve been through the tough days. We’re not satisfied with anything. Yeah, we won three straight, four straight games, but that’s nothing. V-Tech’s done that for the past 10 years. We just have to go out there and stay hungry.”

Saints hope to regroup against struggling Panthers Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are trying to bounce back from a loss in which they turned the ball over three times, failed to convert a fourth-and-1, gave up 202 yards rushing and missed a field goal in overtime. Their 27-24 defeat at the hands of division rival Atlanta exposed several areas in which the defending champions need work. Yet quarterback Drew Brees remains confident that the Saints aren’t far off from looking like an elite team again.
“There’s no soul-searching,” Brees said. “We’re a field goal away from being 3-0. But there are a lot of things that need to be corrected and improved.” As New Orleans (2-1) prepared to host winless Carolina (0-3) today, two glaring weaknesses for the Saints were running the ball and stopping the run. Through three games, the Saints were dead last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 57.3 yards per game. Their defense ranks 30th out of 32 teams in stopping the run, giving up an average of 145.
Then there’s the kicking game. Garrett Hartley’s stunning overtime miss from 29 yards was his third missed field goal in seven tries. While the Saints have their share of vulnerabilities, Panthers head coach John Fox doesn’t see this as a particularly good time for his struggling team to be going into the Louisiana Superdome. “I don’t buy into all that,” Fox said. “They’re obviously still a very, very talented team. It’s hard to win all of them. They’re a very, very, good football team, the defending world champs at their place.”
Carolina has struggled in a wide range of areas, notably at quarterback after Matt Moore was pulled after two games and replaced last week by rookie and former Notre Dame standout Jimmy Clausen. Clausen had trouble fumbling snaps — he fumbled three times and lost two of them — and threw an interception in a 20-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Meanwhile, Carolina’s normally prolific, two-headed running game has been well off pace. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who each rushed for more than 1,100
yards last season, have been held to a combined 248 yards. The Panthers have the worst completion percentage in the league and have an NFL worst 12 turnovers. “They’ve got the young quarterback and if you have those two running backs, of course you’re going to want to” line up to stop the run, Saints tackle Remi Ayodele said. Fox said he expects to stick with Clausen, who in turn said he hopes he can make Carolina more competitive by eliminating some costly mistakes like the fumble snaps and the interception.

$250,000 RICHER Mocksville woman talks about good fortune in Food Lion game BY BETH CASSIDY Davie County Enterprise Record
Robin Snow/daVie County enterprise reCord
sherrie Couch talks about her luck with Mocksville Food Lion south Manager Brian sides.
Sherrie Couch has spent the last four weeks in disbelief. And when she posed in front of Food Lion last week with a cardboard check, disbelief was still written all over her face. But written on the check she held was $250,000. Couch, a Mocksville resident, was the sole winner of Food Lion’s Great Grocery Giveaway and the top prize of $250,000. The promotion took place in all of Food Lion’s 1,300 stores in the southeast and mid-Atlantic states from July 21- Aug.31.Customers who
shopped during that period received scratch-off tickets with their purchases. There were 20 grand prize winning tickets printed, putting the odds of winning at 12,500,000:1. The estimated number of winners, according to the rules and odds chart associated with the promotion, was zero. Maybe Couch should receive a new nickname: Zero. Couch probably increased her odds of winning because she works just a few doors down from the store on U.S. 601 South, and she shops there

Treading the gulf between rich, poor BY JIM FITZGERALD AND V ICKI S MITH Associated Press Writers
OUNT VERNON, N.Y. — A Wall Street adviser leaves early for work to avoid panhandlers at his suburban train station. In coal country, a suddenly homeless man watches from a bench as wealthy women shop for dresses. A down-and-out waitress sits glumly on her stoop across the street from a gleaming suburb. A freshly elected politician loses his day job. They’re the faces of a census report released this week showing that the gap between the richest and poorest Americans is wider than ever. The recession technically ended in the middle of last year, but the numbers can’t tell the whole story. The census report translates to stories of impatience, resignation and hopelessness for those who are living it across the country. It’s the story of Roy Houseman, who, having barely finished celebrating his election to the City Council in Missoula, Mont., was laid off. It’s the story of Ashleigh Dorner, an unemployed Detroiter who has a car but no money for gas or insurance. It’s the story of John Morgan, a financial adviser who avoids interaction with the poor in the gritty New York suburb of Mount Vernon. And it’s the story of Charles Fox. ••• Fox, 68, has claimed a bench on High Street in Morgantown, W.Va. It’s tucked between a pizza shop and a gelato stand he can’t afford to visit. Beside him are two black trash bags stuffed with his belongings. He had a home until last month, when a fire burned down one of the last cheap motels in town. Now he sits in the morning sunshine, worrying about the approach of winter. “I ain’t found no place to live

Charles Fox, 68, sits on a bench in Morgantown, W.Va., that has become his daytime home since a fire four weeks ago. Fox, disabled and relying on federal assistance, is homeless because he can’t afford ever-increasing rents. yet,” he says, staring down at the sidewalk. Morgantown’s metro area has the largest gap between rich and poor in the 50 states, the new census figures say. That’s partly because it’s a college town, and the number of students is growing rapidly, along with low-paying jobs that support them. College towns also have highly paid professors, researchers and doctors. And they’re a landlord’s market: Fox, who was spending $450 a month on rent — three-quarters of his monthly disability check — says he can’t find a room for under $1,000 a month.
He used to work in a coal mine, but a blocked artery in his leg makes walking and standing — and holding a job — difficult. At night, he finds a bunk at a packed homeless shelter. “I sit up here on the street in the daytime and just wonder, ‘Where am I going to go?’ ” he says. Tears fall as he adds, “Sometimes I go two or three days without anything to eat.” Across the street is Coni & Franc’s, where blouses go for $100 and gowns for thousands. But owner

You can’t escape college loans by declaring bankruptcy Smart money
BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Feature Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: I have a friend who is 30 and is up to his neck in college loans and credit card debt. He doesn’t think he will be able to pay off these debts, and he wants to file for bankruptcy. He doesn’t get the fact that this will stay with him for a long time. I keep trying to convince him to contact his debtors and try to work something out. He’s tired and wants to get out the easy way. He makes about $35,000 a year, and about $8,000 of his debt is a student loan. I tried to tell him that the student loan will not go away, but he still thinks he can file bankruptcy and it will. — R.T., via e-mail
DEAR R.T.: You are correct. The $8,000 student loan is not going to be discharged through bankruptcy. I’m sure the other debts have been charged off by now, but that does not eliminate the debt. These debts can, and often are, sold on the secondary market, and someone will make an effort to collect them. These debts are often
DEAR W.W.: What your friends understand that you haven’t caught on to yet is that in New Jersey you are paying state income tax because that is your primary residence. If you were to make Florida your primary residence, you would not be paying state income tax. Being a legitimate Floridian will save you some money. Understand that no matter where you live, you will still be paying federal income tax. In Florida, you also get a homestead exemption on your property, which automatically reduces your property taxes. The overwhelming likelihood is that it would be to your advantage from a tax perspective to change your full-time residence to Florida. Before you make the move, talk to an accountant, who very easily can point out the impact given your income figures as to which would be to your advantage. I’m betting on Florida.
purchased at a severe discount. I suspect that the process of debt collectors calling has already started. His credit is already in the toilet, and whether he chooses to pay it off and start on the road to recovery or declare bankruptcy and have the same result is entirely up to him.

HP’s choice for a new leader has some scratching their heads
FROM 1C three or four times a week. The cashiers and manager know her well, and during the giveaway, Couch was taking numerous tickets a week back to work to scratch off. In fact, she took so many in that she had a co-worker help her scratch them. Because she was just so tired of not winning, Couch started putting the tickets aside in a drawer at work. One of the tickets she put aside was the winning one, and there it sat, for two weeks. Until the day Couch found a lucky penny, and the rest is history. “Something just told me to take that penny and use it scratch the tickets, and there it was.” She showed the ticket to her co-worker, who said, “I don’t think it means that.” So Couch called her husband, Ronnie. “She called me at work and told me about it, and I said, ‘You’re full of bull.’ She cried all night that night. We just couldn’t believe it.” Manager Brian Sides was one of the first people who knew Sherrie won. “She came in the store, and they called me up to the front, and she handed me the ticket, and I handed it back. She asked me if it was real, and I said, ‘It looks pretty real

to me.’ ” Sides said Couch was just walking around with the ticket, which made him nervous, so he went to a shelf, opened up a box of zip top bags, took one out and had her drop the ticket into it. They had to wait for the ticket to be verified, and Natalie Clontz, regional sales and marketing manager, called Couch two weeks ago to tell her she was definitely the winner. Couch has never won anything in her life but a CD player, she said. The official presentation of the check was attended last week by many Food Lion officials, representatives from the promotion company and friends and family members of Couch. She admitted being nervous, not being accustomed to being the center of attention, while she posed for pictures and shook hands. Sides said, with a laugh, “My mom and dad always told me not to spend all my money in one place, but Sherrie, we want you to spend all your money in one place.” He thanked Couch for being such a loyal customer. Couch’s plans include giving money to two churches, taking her family on a trip to New York, and putting the rest aside for retirement. Once the presentation festivities were over, Couch walked back down the sidewalk to work.

top lieutenant after publicly blasting HP’s board for forcing him out of his job. “This looks like a mixed bag,” Marshall said. “On one hand, Ray Lane is the real deal and should do wonders for that board. But on the other end, there is no getting around the fact that SAP pretty much fired (Apotheker).” The decision to give Apotheker another shot at being a CEO may renew questions about the competency of HP’s board, predicted Stephen Diamond, a Santa Clara University associate professor of law specializing in corporate governance. Besides its decision to jettison Hurd, HP’s board had previously come under fire for spying on the phone records of journalists and other directors. “It looks like the board almost punted this decision,” Diamond said. “This doesn’t look like a very stable, long-term solution for the company.” Since leaving SAP, Apotheker said he has been enjoying some time off and consulting with companies. He is scheduled to take over HP’s helm Nov. 1. Although it’s a large company, SAP’s emphasis on business software means it has a much narrower focus than HP. HP is trying to go beyond personal computers and printers by expanding into technology services, data storage and security.
Law could hamper some offering limited health coverage INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The new health care law could make it difficult for companies like McDonald’s to continue offering limited insurance coverage to their low-wage workers. The world’s largest hamburger chain provides its hourly workers with lowcost plans known as “minimeds” or limited benefits plans. These plans typically cover things like doctor’s office visits and prescription drugs. But they don’t provide comprehensive coverage, and they often come with a cap on how much the insurer pays in annual benefits that is much lower than a major medical insurance plan. Next year, the health care law passed by Congress will require insurers to pay minimum percentages of 80 percent and 85 percent of the premiums they collect toward medical care, figures that may be hard to meet for some of these limited plans. McDonald’s denied a report this past week that it’s considering dropping health care coverage for some employees because they won’t meet those limits. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that McDonald’s has warned regulators it could drop its plan for some 30,000 workers unless the government waives a new
North Carolina. Borrowers with fixed rate loans from Carolina Farm Credit are getting phone calls from their loan officers offering to reduce their current rate. Initially some are doubtful. But, sure enough, their loans are favorably modified. Carolina Farm Credit is a cooperative lender serving central and western North Carolina. This year, it has cut rates on over 500 loans with a value of $90 million. The savings to borrowers amounts to about $700,000 in first-year interest and $6.6 million over the course of the loans. “We at Carolina Farm Credit have been very pleased to offer interest rate reductions to many of our loyal customers,” said Carolina Farm Credit CEO Mike Morton. “We've helped our borrowers save money and better their financial position during these difficult times. The flexibility the Farm Credit System has in this regard is a competitive advantage for our customers.” Due to these extremely low interest rates, loan modifications at Farm Credit cooperatives are at an all time high. The system of rural and agricultural lenders has a policy of alerting borrowers to rate reduction opportunities. The process is much simpler than refinancing. The re-pricing is applied to the existing loan. Farm Credit has nearly 14,600 borrowers in North Carolina and $3 billion in outstanding loans in the state. Farm Credit provides loans to finance farm land, buildings, operating expenses equipment and livestock. Farm Credit also provides rural home loans and crop insurance. The system was established by Congress in 1916. For more information, visit www.carolinafarmcredit.com.

Spa supporting breast cancer awareness in October ALBEMARLE — Tranquility Salon & Day Spa will support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October by decorating in pink and providing awareness information for their “Pamper in Pink” week, which goes through Friday. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. It is the No. 1 cause of cancer death in Hispanic women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in Caucasian, African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaska Native women. Tranquility Salon & Day Spa’s owner, Arloishia Israel, felt the need to show support. During the week, Israel will pass out breast cancer awareness material and will give 10 to 15 percent discounts on salon and spa services to all customers. In addition, the shop and staff will be decorated in pink – the universal color for breast cancer. “Despite the growing awareness, there are still too many women who do not take advantage of the early detection steps or simply get routine mammogram screenings. We want to do our part and help make the community aware that breast cancer is life altering if left unrecognized,” Israel said.

few years as health care costs have climbed, said Steve Wojcik, vice president of public policy for the National Business Group on Health. Employers in the retail or hotel industries offer this basic coverage as a way to keep workers and improve employee productivity by cutting healthrelated absences. About 1.4 million workers have group health care coverage through limited benefits plans, according to the National Restaurant Association, which doesn’t track growth of the plans. The limited coverage means patients can be stuck with big bills if something serious happens, but they also can get insurer-negotiated payment rates for that care instead of paying full price. “Compared to nothing they’re a really good deal,” said Robert Laszewski, a former insurance executive
who’s now a consultant. “Compared to comprehensive health insurance, they’re a terrible deal.” These plans typically have medical loss ratios that can fall in the 70 percent range or below, far from the minimums that will be required next year. They collect relatively low premiums compared with comprehensive coverage, but they have many of the same administrative costs. That means some insurers could decide to stop offering them if they decide they can’t meet the minimums. “It will create a void in coverage between now and 2014 because it will make these plans untenable,” Laszewski he said. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has been studying this issue for months so that it can make recommendations to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on how the requirement should be implemented. Some commissioners have suggested that minimum percentages should be phased in to avoid instability. Insurance analysts have warned that a strict medical loss ratio of 80 percent for individual and small group plans could mean plans won’t be affordable in all regions.

eight months ago, largely because SAP’s financial performance faltered after Apotheker raised the fees that the company’s customers paid to maintain and upgrade software. “SAP’s customer relationships suffered badly and so did employee morale while (Apotheker) was there, so this is a bit of an odd choice by HP,” said software analyst Paul Hamerman of Forrester Research. But HP’s board is confident it found the right man for the job. “Leo is a strategic thinker with a passion for technology, wide-reaching global experience and proven operational discipline — exactly what we were looking for in a CEO,” said Robert Ryan, the lead independent director on HP’s board. HP also named Ray Lane, another candidate for the CEO position, as its non-executive chairman. Lane, 63, is currently a partner at renowned venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, but he is best known in Silicon Valley as the former chief operating officer at SAP rival Oracle Corp. Although he was hailed for helping Oracle recover from an accounting scandal, Lane was dumped by the company’s mercurial CEO, Larry Ellison, a decade ago.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hewlett-Packard Co.’s board upset many investors when it forced out Mark Hurd as CEO nearly two months ago. Now, those directors appear to have baffled Wall Street with its selection of HP’s new leader — Leo Apotheker, who lost his job running German business software maker SAP earlier this year after he didn’t live up to expectations. Thursday’s announcement caught almost everyone off guard, causing HP’s shares to slip back into a funk that began in early August after the board ousted the well-regarded Hurd amid allegations of sexual harassment and deceptive expense reports. Most analysts had expected HP to hire from within, or tap an outsider with a more impressive resume than Apotheker’s. “I thought it would be difficult for HP to hire an outsider and have its stock to go down, but this board seems to have found a way,” Gleacher & Co. analyst Brian Marshall said. HP shares fell $1.21, or 2.9 percent, in Thursday’s extended trading. Before Apotheker’s hiring was announced, the stock closed the regular session at $42.07, down 46 cents. The market value of the world’s largest technology company has been sagging since Hurd was shown the door, intensifying the pressure on HP’s board to find a CEO who

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Midwest corn farmers who received official letters from bankrupt ethanol producer VeraSun Energy Corp. asking for money back can breathe a little easier. Patrick Glover, a Sioux Falls attorney who’s representing some 70 farmers, said he received a call from New York-based law firm Kelley Drye & Warren LLP saying the bankruptcy trustee will not pursue individual farmers. “I’ve talked to attorneys in Iowa and Nebraska and they confirmed that they received the same message,” Glover said Thursday. A message left for an attorney with Kelley Drye & Warren was not returned. August letters sent to growers who sold corn to VeraSun in the 90 days before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2008 told the farmers they had until Sept. 30 to repay 80 percent of what VeraSun paid them for their corn. The demand was not wellreceived by farmers, many of whom also had their highprice corn contracts with VeraSun negated when the company filed for bankruptcy. Doug Goehring, the North Dakota agriculture commissioner, described it as “asinine.” “I certainly think it’s wrong in the first place to pursue producers who delivered a commodity that they needed to be paid for ... and then, on the back side of that, end up having to be liable for bills

Constance Chico Merandi says she deals with the homeless and working poor by putting out a sale table with $10 shoes and discounted wedding gowns for those who can’t afford more. “It’s just part of living and coexisting here,” she says. “We realize we have to do something.” ••• John Morgan, a financial adviser on Wall Street, goes to work earlier some mornings to avoid panhandlers at the railroad station in Mount Vernon, a struggling city of 68,000 bordering the Bronx. He has no interaction with other residents, including the poor — and doesn’t want any. Warily eyeing a man begging, Morgan says, “This guy hits me all the time. At first I gave him a dollar or two and now he sees me coming.” Morgan, 64, is a widower who lives alone in a condominium apartment. He and his wife raised a family in a house in neighboring Pelham before moving two years ago. “I don’t have anything to do with Mount Vernon,” Morgan says. “I shop in Pelham. I go straight out to my house on Long Island on the weekends. I’ve never spent a weekend in Mount Vernon.” As Morgan spoke, police patrolled the downtown train station. He has his doubts about the statistics revealing a wider gap between rich and poor. The data showed that the top-earning 20 percent of Americans — those making more than $100,000 each year — received 49.4 percent of all income. The bottom 20 percent took in just 3.4 percent of income. “Things aren’t good out there,” he says. “I think the rich are getting poorer and the poor are staying poor.” ••• Ashleigh Dorner was getting by, she says, until job losses in and around Detroit stunted business at the restaurants where she hustled for tips to augment her

His situation was unique: As a newly elected city councilman, Houseman was expected to help move Missoula’s economy forward after losing $60,000 of his annual income. He was left with just the $12,500 a year he was pulling in as a parttime councilman. He saw his co-workers forced into retirement or out of Missoula. Most were in their 50s, an age that can cause a would-be employer to blanch. Houseman and his wife, Andrea, knew they didn’t want to leave Missoula. The mountain town is considered Montana’s cultural center. But Missoula also has the state’s largest homeless shelter, serving as many as 350 people a day. “As the recession goes, I think people try to find places to shelter — and universities are places to shelter,” he says.

Good news for Indian tribe seeking recognition before opening casino
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — After more than a year in bankruptcy court, auto supplier Visteon Corp. emerged from Chapter 11 protection on Friday with $2.1 billion less debt on its balance sheet. Visteon, which makes automotive interior products, filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2009 as the auto industry suffered from the economic downturn and a severe slump in sales. Multiple companies in the auto industry, including General Motors and Chrysler, filed for Chapter 11 during the recession as they struggled under heavy debt burdens. Visteon’s bondholders now hold a roughly 95 percent stake in the new company, in exchange for buying back $300 million of stock and raising another $950 million by backing a stock rights offering. As part of its reorganization, Visteon paid $11.5 million to more than 6,500 retirees in exchange for being allowed to terminate their benefits. Michigan-based Visteon is a former parts unit of Ford Motor Co. that was spun off in 2000. Ford is still one of its largest customers, and the automaker agreed to provide Visteon with $600 million in business through 2013 as part of its emergence from bankruptcy protection. Ford also agreed to drop $163 million in retiree benefit claims. Visteon’s second-quarter sales rose 24 percent to $1.95 billion, helped by the improving global market for auto sales. Visteon sold most of its products — including climate control systems and electronics — to Hyundai-Kia and Ford during the quarter. Asia was its largest regional market. The company reported a loss of $201 million for the quarter. Chairman and CEO Donald Stebbins said the reorganized company has a solid presence in fast-growing markets, including Eastern Europe and Brazil. In a regulatory filing Friday, the company said it named eight new directors, including Mark Hogan, a former General Motors Corp. and Magna International Inc. executive, and Karl Krapek, the former president of United Technologies Corp. The filing also revealed that Stebbins has a new contract that will pay him a base salary of $1.2 million.
The Shinnecock Indians tribe continues to study various locations for a casino, but no site has been selected.
In its 13-page ruling, the appeals panel wrote that the coalition had not identified a business or individual as a member, providing no proof that any member is an “interested party.” The panel also noted that the Montauk faction, which has acknowledged common ancestry with the Shinnecocks, lacked similar standing. Christopher Cooper, a spokesman for the coalition, issued a statement Friday saying it was disappointed in the ruling. “Today’s federal action is a blow to the Connecticut casino industry and to the long-term economic health of Southeastern Connecticut,” Cooper said. “We will review today’s ruling and discuss with our members the appropriate next steps in this
process.” An attorney for the Montauk group did not return a telephone call. A coalition representative said last summer the Shinnecocks should be rejected because they have received financial backing from a Michigan casino operator in the past. Detroit-based Gateway Casino Resorts backed a $920,000 lobbying effort by the Shinnecocks between 2004 and 2008, according to data from a government watchdog group, the Center for Responsive Politics. Tribal representatives said then that the source of their financing was immaterial to the recognition issue. Federal recognition is required for any Indian tribe seeking to operate a casino.
October Tour called the Connecticut Coalition for Gaming Jobs and a faction of the Montauk Indian tribe — also on eastern Long Island — separately filed papers opposing the recognition. The Interior Department appeals panel ruled Friday, however, that neither group had legal standing to file challenges.

work of the nation starts; the work of building for the future. It’s going to be challenging, but exciting.” Mark Tilden, an attorney representing the Shinnecocks in the recognition bid, said the Interior Board of Indian Appeals ruling is effective immediately, making the Southampton-based tribe the 565th to be formally recognized by the United States government. “Today is a very jubilant day for the nation,” Tilden said. “This ruling firmly establishes them among the family of Indian nations and tribes within the United States.” The Shinnecocks were told in June that the Interior Department had approved their application for federal recognition, pending a 30day comment period.

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) — A small eastern Long Island Indian tribe seeking federal recognition since the 1970s declared victory Friday after an Interior Department appeals panel rejected a pair of challenges to its application. The decision, which found the challengers lacked legal standing in the case, clears the way for the Shinnecock Indians to proceed with plans to open a casino at a still-to-be-determined site on Long Island and makes tribal members eligible for federal benefits. “We’re very pleased that the judges have had the wisdom to see through the charade; clearly they have done that,” said Randy King, chairman of the Shinnecock Indians board of trustees. “Now the hard

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — General Electric plans to invest $68 million to redesign side-by-side refrigerators made at an Indiana plant. Louisville, Ky.-based GE Appliances & Lighting told employees at the Bloomington plant Friday about the investment. It’s part of an agreement with the union in May that includes a wage freeze and competitive wage structure for new employees. GE says the investment and union agreement will help retain more than 500 jobs and ensure the plant’s long-term future.

San Francisco considers banning Happy Meals toys
Wounded soldiers treated to Lt. Dan Weekend in Beaufort, SC
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco has a long history of bold public health and environmental stances, going after everything from plastic bags in grocery stores to cigarettes to sugary drinks. The latest target: Ronald McDonald. A proposed city ordinance would ban McDonald’s from putting toys in Happy Meals unless it adds fruit and vegetable portions and limits calories. The proposal would apply to all restaurants, but the focus has been on McDonald’s and its iconic Happy Meals. Supervisor Eric Mar said he proposed the law to protect the health of his constituents, but McDonald’s has waged an aggressive fight to block the measure. A battery of McDonald’s Corp. executives showed up at city hall to argue that the legislation is a heavy-handed effort that threatens the company’s decades-old business model and the free choice of its customers. The proposed Happy Meal law is just the latest in a string of San Francisco ordinances aimed at regulating public health. The city recently expanded a law banning tobacco sales in pharmacies to include grocery stores and big-
box stores that also have pharmacies. Mayor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order earlier this year banning sweetened beverages like Coca Cola and Pepsi from vending machines on city property. Local leaders considered but ultimately abandoned laws recently that would have imposed a fee on businesses that sell sugary drinks and alcohol. Newsom has slowed down in his support of some health measures after he was attacked by his opponent in next month’s lieutenant governor’s race, Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, for being the “food police.” Newsom vetoed the alcohol and soda fees, and he’s indicated he’ll do the same for Ronald McDonald. The Board of Supervisors could overturn a veto but needs the votes of eight of 11 supervisors to do so. Tony Winnicker, a Newsom spokesman, has said the mayor was opposed to the measures in part because of their negative impact on local businesses. “The mayor is always open to argument and evidence about a better way — he’s not ideological, he’s not wedded to one approach,” Winnicker

san Francisco has proposed an ordinance that would ban toys like this in Happy Meal boxes unless Mcdonald’s adds fruit and vegetable portions and limits calories. said. “This is not the time to be considering new fees and taxes that would put San Francisco at a disadvantage to other counties around the state.” Mar said he expected his Happy Meal bill to pass out of committee Monday and receive a vote by the full Board of Supervisors later this month. McDonald’s vice president for nutrition and menu strategy, Karen Wells, said that denying a toy to a child would undermine the authority of parents to decide what their children should eat and would be difficult to execute. “It’s different from what we’re doing today and different from what we’ve done for 25 years, successfully,” Wells said. Responded Supervisor Sophie Maxwell in an exasperated voice, “Just because it’s different does not make it necessarily difficult. I mean, McDonald’s is an amazing institution. It’s been around for many years ... because it’s able to change and to adapt to
new circumstances and new things that people are eating so I think I have a lot more confidence in McDonald’s, I guess, than you do.” Cynthia Goody, McDonald’s nutrition director, said there was no evidence that childhood obesity would be reduced by requiring a fruit or vegetable with all meals. In response, a supervisor asked what mix of foods would lower childhood obesity. Goody said she would need to conduct more research to provide an answer. The Happy Meal ordinance is not all surprising given San Francisco’s famously liberal leanings. “San Francisco has a reputation — and it’s well deserved — of being a very progressive city,” said Alex Clemens, founder of Barbary Coast Consulting, a local political communications firm. “With that comes naturally, hand in hand, a reliance on government to encourage thoughtful change — that’s just tradition.”

A stroke during his recovery left him needing a wheelchair and around-theclock care. “It takes days of preparation to travel with someone in a wheelchair ... and someone who is paraplegic,” she said. “It’s like having a 170-pound newborn, but it’s so important that Alan have these relationships and have these goals.” The event kicked off Friday night with a concert by actor Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band. Sinise played Lt. Dan in the movie “Forrest Gump,” which had scenes filmed in and around Beaufort. Sinise’s character in the movie loses both of his legs.

Law proposed to get more fruit, vegetables added and limit calories
BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) — More than 50 wounded veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are in Beaufort for the Lt. Dan Weekend. The Beaufort Gazette reported Saturday that fundraisers are held all year to cover travel and lodging costs for the wounded soldiers and their caregivers. “As injured service members, we have a cross to carry, and sometimes we think our cross is too heavy,” said Army Capt. Ivan Castro of Fort Bragg, N.C. “It’s not until we come out here and we see other guys that we say, ‘Damn, I’ve got it easy because this guy’s got it much worse.’ ” Castro, 43, lost his sight and nearly died in 2006 when an enemy mortar round landed five feet away from him while he was fighting in Iraq. The weekend also is for families and caregivers. Rosie and Alan Babin of Round Rock, Texas, came with their son, Alan Jr. “When we attend events like this, we’re surrounded by others who are going through the same thing,” Rosie Babin said. “There’s no explanation needed; everyone gets it. Everyone kind of looks out for each other while we’re here. It’s like a big family.” Her son was a combat medic with the 82nd Airborne when he was shot in

Rutgers honors student who killed himself after encounter shown online PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers University paid a public tribute Saturday at a football game to a student who committed suicide last week after his sexual encounter was secretly streamed online. Most in the crowd bowed their heads after a public address announcer requested a moment of silence for 18-yearold freshman Tyler Clementi before the start of Rutgers’ homecoming game against Tulane. Clementi’s name was shown on the stadium’s huge scoreboard, and the crowd applauded politely after the observation ended. Prosecutors say Clementi’s roommate and another student used a webcam to broadcast on the Internet live images of Clementi having an intimate encounter with another man. Clementi, a promising violinist, jumped off the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River three days later. His body was identified Thursday. The homecoming tribute was the latest in a series of remembrances for Clementi at the university that included the establishment of a Facebook group, In Honor of Tyler Clementi.

On Friday, students wore black and were encouraged to leave flowers or mementoes at a makeshift memorial for Clementi. The Rutgers Glee Club also marched down to the memorial and performed an a capella rendition of “Rutgers Prayer,” which is traditionally sung when an important member of the Rutgers community dies or a tragedy happens at the university. The university will hold a vigil on Sunday. Clementi’s death was one of a string of suicides last month involving teens believed to have been victims of anti-gay bullying. On Friday, more than 500 people attended a memorial service for Seth Walsh, a 13-year-old central California boy who hanged himself after enduring taunts from classmates about being gay.

Traditional hallmarks of autumn New school year, football games among the signs of summer’s end hen does fall begin? If you are a meteorologist or an astronomer, the answer to that question is very specific. A charming high school student asked the question as I was checking out at the grocery store a few nights ago. The weather was still hot and I think she wanted to know when the temperature would start to cool. I didn’t know the astrological date, but her question made me think. I believe the answer is based on age and memories. There were many markers of fall for folks who KAREN LILLY-BOWYER grew up in Salisbury in the ’50s and ’60s. For an elementary school student, fall was the dreaded beginning of the school year. Gone were the warm summer evenings when you rode your bicycle with your friends. City workers drove trucks and jeeps through neighborhoods pulling insecticide – DDT mosquito fog machines. Kids would seek out the trucks and peddled as fast as they could to stay in the wonderful fog. Often the “fog” drivers were teachers or principals in our local schools who drove the trucks to make a little extra money during the summer. We knew who they were, but they could not see our faces. It was our chance for mischief. We knew without a doubt that we would hear about our bad behavior on the first day of school. We also knew that what we heard were idle threats. One thing we didn’t hear was that DDT was dangerous. I often wonder if those summer evenings could be one of the reasons our Baby Boomer politicians sometimes make such poor decisions. Could it also be why so many Baby Boomers still look so young! In 1959, Knox Junior High School opened its doors. Fall for the members of that first eighth grade class was very exciting. For the first time we would be meeting students who attended schools other than our elementary school. Pre Knox, students in Salisbury did not meet until high school. The campus … we loved that word … was not complete, but as the upper classmen, we had a building that was all our own. I don’t remember if we had a football team, but we did have dances. We were “hot stuff” for one year; “top of the heap,” until we became freshmen at Boyden High School. Fall, as a high school student, was something all together different. The memories of summer trips to the beach and the weeklong romances suddenly seemed to pale. Fall was a time of excitement. Sunday night pro football cannot hold a candle to the excitement of buying a school spirit ribbon on Friday morning

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, shown here at an April convention in San Francisco, began creating the phenomenally successful social-networking site while a student at Harvard. It now has approximately 500 million users.

he Harvard dormitory where Facebook was born is a red brick and ivydraped campus castle that, beyond just being a place to sleep and study, has longed prided itself as a community of the best and the brightest. But Kirkland House — where a curly-haired 19-yearold prodigy named Mark Zuckerberg hid out in his room for a week writing the computer code that would eventually redefine the way people interact on the Internet — is wary of threats to its sanctuary. “Do not copy or lend your key to anyone,” it instructs residents. “Do not allow anyone access to the House unless you know him/her.” Ever since Zuckerberg dropped out at the end of his sophomore year, he has worked to create an online world where such rules no longer apply. Facebook — with 500 million users, the world’s largest social networking site — began as a tool for communication between people who knew each other and were bound by shared and exclusive interests. Zuckerberg required those signing up to have a Harvard email address, months after the university nearly expelled him

his recognizing that he can’t leave it to the movie to define his image to the general public because he has no image,” says David Kirkpatrick, author of “The Facebook Effect,” a book chronicling Zuckerberg’s story that was written with the cooperation of the man and his company. Central to this tale: the contradiction between the blank slate that is Zuckerberg, and his campaign to get people to bare their souls via Facebook. A Facebook spokesman, Larry Yu, said Zuckerberg would not agree to an interview to talk about himself. That reluctance, he acknowledges, contributes to the vacuum that is the CEO’s public persona. “He is a shy guy, no question about it,” Yu said. “He does not like doing press stuff. What excites him is building things.” Yu said Zuckerberg was not trying to seize control of his image with the donation to Newark. Company public relations staff had warned him to delay the announcement because it would be seen as a ploy, he said. Zuckerberg decided to go ahead despite that concern, because the timing suited city and state officials and the producers of “Oprah,” Yu said. Zuckerberg, who grew up in the New York suburb of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., in a hilltop house where his father still runs a first-floor dental practice, was a programming prodigy. He began writing code at 10 on an Atari computer his dad bought, devising games and having friends do the graphics. As a senior at Phillips Exeter Academy, he and a friend created a web tool called Synapse that built personalized music playlists by automatically determining listener’s preferences. Microsoft reportedly offered the pair nearly $1 million, but they turned it down. Exactly what happened after he got to Harvard in 2003 depends on who’s doing the recounting. Soon after he arrived, Zuckerberg created a site called Coursematch that allowed students to choose classes by showing what their classmates were doing. Then, in the fall of his sophomore year, he

Online comments popular but flawed o reader comments on the Durham HeraldSun’s website? No problem, says Editor Bob Ashley. “We had some feedback in the days after we dropped the comments,” Bob said in an email last week. “... Many acknowledged why we shut it down — and should have. Even some of those, however, urged us to find some format – perhaps by monitoring and moderating the ELIZABETH site – to keep them coming.” COOK Since the Herald-Sun ended commenting on its site several weeks ago, editors at other papers have wondered if they should follow suit. Ashley says talk about the comments has died down. And the consequence that most editors would brace themselves for — a drop in online traffic — did not materialize. Compared to a year ago, Bob says, pageviews are up 5 percent and visitors are up 32.5 percent, and he’s OK with that. • • • I asked Post readers how they would feel about doing the same, and about 20 people responded. A few — the most frequent commenters, as you might guess — like the comments just the way they are.

United Way gives back nstead of focusing on a donation to the United Way, think for a moment about what the United Way gives back — to important agencies, to the community and probably to you or someone you know. Rowan County residents are turning to United Way agencies for help this year more than ever — from the Salvation Army to Meals on Wheels to the Literacy Council. People in all stages of life are struggling to cope with the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. They need job skills, they need healthy activities for their children, they need to get through family crises. The recession may be over on paper, but thousands of area families are still reeling from foreclosure, job loss and untold stress. They may not know about the many United Way agencies that might be able to help them. To learn, they can start by calling 211, a central point for health and human-service information — itself a recipient of United Way funds. Here’s a list of United Way agencies, broken down by area of focus: • Emergency assistance: American Red Cross, Rowan County Rescue Squad, The Salvation Army. • Family-related services: Adolescent & Family Enrichment Council, Family Crisis Council, Rowan County Youth Services Bureau. • Senior services: Abundant Living Adult Day Services, Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, Meals on Wheels. • Services for the handicapped: The ARC/Rowan and Rowan Vocational Opportunities. • Youth development: Boy Scouts, Central North Carolina Council; Communities in Schools; Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council; Rowan County YMCA. • Community services: Rowan County Literacy Council. All those nonprofit agencies receive United Way dollars and turn around to return the money to the community in the form of services. And many are just about tapped out. One of the unfortunate realities of nonprofit budgeting is that donations fall when the need is greatest. In many instances, people accustomed to giving to United Way need to receive help this year — and they’re grateful for it. Rowan Countians pledged $1.5 million to United Way last fall, some $200,000 short of its $1.7 million goal. Now United Way is in the midst of a campaign that it hopes will raise $1.65 million — an ambitious goal, considering the economy, but one that has to be high because the need is high. If you are in a position to give this year, please do, and dig deep. If you are not able to give, United Way still needs your help spreading the word. Let others know that these nonprofit agencies depend on donations — not so the agencies can survive, but so they can help people in the community survive. The need is great.

Some people thought comments were beyond salvaging; most wanted to keep comments but stop the meanness. • • • Reader Don Schumacher says his letters to the editor often spark comments, and he’s learned a few things. “It gives me a picture of how truly vulgar some people can be,” Don says. “I probably deserve most of the criticism but I can take it, even with the name calling.” Most people zinged by anonymous commenters are not so tough. The biggest hurt comes when commenters start lobbing bombs for sport, without regard for the people involved. One man who responded to my question said a snide comment on a Boy Scout story devastated his son. A woman said comments on a story about her business left her “hurt, ridiculed and humiliated.” She was proud of the article but could not send friends the link because she didn’t want them to see the anonymous remarks — a frequent complaint. Ending and removing comments would be “very healing for me,” she said, and restore her confidence in the Post. • • • Another reader who called for turning off the comment feature eloquently summed up the flaws many have observed.
“It has unfortunately become a magnet that attracts several malcontents that daily spew rude, inflammatory, inaccurate, hateful, harmful, snide, abusive, demeaning, racist, homophobic (the list of adjectives can run on indefinitely) comments while those same authors of such meanspiritedness mask their identity behind their pointed head white hoods of anonymity.” Letting that continue, he said, “would amount to the Salisbury Post awarding people for bad behavior ... “I could ramble on but my blood pressure is beginning to rise to a dangerous level.” • • • Kent Bernhardt spoke for many when he said this: “While I would hate to see the comment section go, there should be policy changes. Say whatever you wish, but participants should use their real names, not hide behind screen identities. Users should be accountable for their words just as they are held accountable on the Post's editorial page.” That was the most frequently suggested change — require commenters to use their real names because, as one person put it, “free speech does have a price and those that wield it should be willing to pay it.” Other suggestions: • Let each person comment only once per story.
• Set up a “Post Coffee Room” blog that’s unassociated with any article. “Allow them to bludgeon each other to their heart's content. A useless wasteland, Never to be printed.” • Provide a link to a separate page for comments. • Change the default setting for comments to “click to see comments.” To see comments, readers would log in via a user account. • Allow only Post subscribers to comment, and let each person use only one online name, real or not, with the Post having a record of all the real identities. From time to time, people ask us to turn off comments for the sake of SalisburyRowan’s image. “The comments are a negative picture of our community to those who might be looking in,” one person said. The Post is not changing its commenting policy today, but we talk about it often. The good that comes out of some comments — inside information, candid insights, words of praise, good humor — is heavily overshadowed by the negative side. There must be a better way. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post. Contact her at 704-797-4244 or editor@salisburypost.com.

Increase your understanding of mental illness Expert to speak at NAMI luncheon BY FRANCES SHUPING Special to the Salisbury Post
ne in four adults experiences a mental health problem in any given year. One in 17 lives with serious, chronic mental disorders. Mental Illness Awareness Week ( Oct. 3-9) is an opportunity to learn more about serious mental illnesses such as major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder. NAMI Rowan, the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is sponsoring a weeklong series of events to provide information about this medical illness GILMORE that does not discriminate. Dr. John H. Gilmore, professor of psychiatry and vice chairman for research and scientific affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, will keynote a luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at the W.G. Hefner Veterans Administration Medical Center, Building 6 Social Room, 1601 Brenner Ave. He will provide information on the new UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health and describe his research about early brain development and risk for schizophrenia Gilmore heads a team at the Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health. This group is working to advance better mental health treatment and services through standard and evidence-based community support, training of profes-
O
sionals, and community education through partnerships between the state, academia, and community. As director of the center, his research focuses on brain development and risk for schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental disorders, including research on brain development in very young children and ultimately how differences in early brain development might contribute to mental illness. Gilmore also serves as director of the UNC Schizophrenia Research Center, a National Institutes of Mental Health-sponsored Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders. “The good news is that treatment does work and recovery is possible; but only if a person can get the right treatment,” said the Rev. William Battermann, pastor at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and chairman of the event. “People with existing illnesses and those who face hard economic times may be experiencing anxiety or depression for the first time, and both need access to treatment. Now, more than ever, we need to protect and strengthen state and local public mental health services.” “In addition to major cuts in mental health services, the U.S. Surgeon General reports that stigma also is a major barrier to people seeking help when they need it,” said Susan Agner, president of NAMI Rowan. “That’s why this week is so important. We want people to understand mental illness and join a dialogue in our community. The more people know, the better they can help themselves or help their loved ones get the help and support they need.” Tickets to the luncheon are $25 and can be obtained by contacting Susan Agner at704-647-0168 or e-mail agnerboyd@aol.com.
Treatments are highly effective Mental illnesses are serious medical illnesses. They cannot be overcome through will power and are not related to a person’s character or intelligence. Some facts: • The National Institute of Mental Health reports that 1 in four adults — -approximately 57.7 million Americans — experience a mental health disorder in a given year • The main burden is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 Americans-who live with a serious mental illness. • The U.S. Surgeon General reports that 10 percent of children and adolescents suffer from serious emotional and mental disorders that cause significant functional impairment in their day-to-day lives. • The World Health Organization has reported that 4 of the 10 leading causes of disability in the U.S. and other developed countries are mental disorders. By 2020, major depressive illness will be the leading cause of disability in the world for women and children. • Mental illness usually strikes in the prime of life, often during adolescence and young adulthood. All ages are susceptible, but the young and the old are especially vulnerable. • Without treatment,
consequences are staggering: unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, suicide and wasted lives. • The economic cost of untreated mental illness is more than $100 billion each year in the United States. • The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective; 70-90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life. • Early identification and treatment are vitally important; recovery is accelerated and the further harm related to the course of illness is minimized. • Stigma erodes confidence that mental disorders are real, treatable health conditions. We have allowed stigma and a now unwarranted sense of hopelessness to erect attitudinal, structural and financial barriers to effective treatment and recovery. It is time to take these barriers down. • • • Visit www.nami.org to learn more about mental illness as well as education, support and advocacy programs.

The ghosts of former freedoms M
Who can fix what’s broke? There’s a lot of fingerpointing but little hope of real solutions BY PETER MORICI The Providence Journal
OLLEGE PARK, Md. — Americans are justifiably ticked off with both major political parties, but Election 2010 offers little hope. Democrats, Republicans and, yes, the Tea Party offer little that is encouraging. President Barack Obama’s droning complaints about the failures of George W. Bush notwithstanding, the current economic quagmire is a bipartisan creation. The Great Recession was caused by reckless Wall Street pay and fraud, a breakdown in sound lending standards by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and mortgage mills like Countrywide, and a huge trade deficit with China and on oil. The latter left Beijing and Mideast royals with trillions of U.S. dollars that they invested foolishly in the U.S. bond market that financed the housing and commercial real-estate bubbles. Scrape away the finger-pointing. All was set in motion by bank deregulation engineered by Clinton Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers, and President Bill Clinton’s deal to admit China into the World Trade Organization. The latter permitted China free access to U.S. markets while maintaining an undervalued currency and huge tariffs and other barriers to U.S. exports. Democrats in Congress and the White House, when they occupied it, took every opportunity to block domestic oil and gas development and, led by the ever-thoughtful and highminded Michigan congressional delegation, froze auto-mileage standards. If I like anything Obama did, it was to finally impose higher mileage requirements. And initially, he pushed for more offshore drilling. Unfortunately, some tropisms can’t be overcome, and when the BP disaster hit, the president punished the entire petroleum industry. If President George W. Bush is
C
culpable for anything, it was for not seeing the gathering storm on Wall Street. But Treasury Secretary John Snow was a railroad man and understood finance little, and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, a shining star from Goldman Sachs, honestly believed that banks could borrow at 3 percent and lend at 5 percent and pay MBAs three years out of school $5 million bonuses to create mortgage-backed securities. The best way to understand the Bush Treasury is to view the Eric von Stroheim 1924 masterpiece, “Greed.” Whichever bunch of incompetents you favor — the Clinton or Bush White Houses — one thing is clear, Obama ratcheting up government spending and taxes won’t fix what’s broke, and neither will the GOP prescription of tax cuts and deregulation. Obama’s two signature initiatives — health-care reform and financial-services re-regulation — simply don’t work. The former fails to address the root problem — Americans pay 50 percent more for doctors, hospitals and drugs than subscribers to national health plans in Germany, France and other decadent socialist European countries — and the banks are back to their old tricks. Wall Street is hustling municipal governments into the kind of quick-fix budget schemes — like selling parking meters and airport fees — that made Greece the most historically elegant insolvent entity since bankruptcies were invented in the courts of ancient Athens. Now bankers are shoring up 2011 bonuses by hustling shoddy corporate bonds that lack adequate collateral and may never be repaid. Republicans like Mitt Romney and John Boehner offer little that is encouraging. Cutting taxes and mindless deregulation are not the answer. Washington can’t forsake any revenue until the GOP trims $1 trillion from federal spending, and few believe that deregulation will fix health care or Wall Street. Republicans don’t believe in

Enter the Tea Party. It really only offers a purer form of failed Republicanism. Tax and spend less, and turn America over to the robber barons. Americans need a prophet — another Harry Truman or Ronald Reagan — who will level with them. Americans must accept fewer government-paid benefits — for the rich, the poor and those in between — and must acknowledge that the market works best most of the time, but it is not working in health care, banking, China and oil. We need new approaches to regulating — yes, regulating —
what the medical industry charges, what bankers pay themselves, what Americans tolerate and buy in the Middle Kingdom and guiding big oil and car companies to sustainable solutions. Sounds radical, but running the world has never been a choice between statism and anarchy. And running it effectively accepts that the private sector is not the enemy and government is not evil, but neither can serve the other, and us, if value is not seen in each. • • • Peter Morici is a professor at the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission.

A private matter of public concern EW YORK — The suicide of an 18-year-old Rutgers University student following an unimaginable invasion of his privacy has launched an overdue examination of casual — and possibly criminal — disregard for others’ personal space. Freshman Tyler Clementi walked onto the George Washington Bridge the night of Sept. 22 and jumped over the edge. A few days earlier, authorities say, his roommate, Dharun Ravi, and a female friend, Molly Wei, had placed a webKATHLEEN cam in the dorm room Clementi and PARKER Ravi shared, filmed Clementi in an intimate encounter with another man, and posted it online for all to see. There are several dimensions to the story, complicated by the fact that the victim was gay. Based on Internet postings, it appears that Ravi targeted his roommate because of his sexual orientation. Was it a hate crime, or simply a stupid prank that once would have been inconceivable? It was surely an act of unforgivable bullying. Should the alleged perpetrators be prosecuted for invasion of privacy, for which they have been charged, and/or a hate crime? Answers to those questions will have to await investigators. For now, other questions also beg our attention. How did we get here? How could anyone think that another's most private, intimate moment was fair game? Although Clementi was filmed with another man, one can imagine as easily a roommate spying on a heterosexual encounter. The emergence of social media, combined with mass access to technology — cameraequipped cell phones, pocketsized video cameras and blogospheric distribution -- has enabled an insatiable market for spying

The result has been a cultural breakdown in decency and a blurring of the boundaries of what should be private and public. Even this discussion feels like an invasion of privacy, given the unbearable pain the Clementi family must be enduring. But sometimes it takes a tragedy to shake us from complacency. Just as Matthew Shepard’s brutal murder in 1998 awakened Americans to the suffering of gays — a mobilized outrage — maybe Tyler Clementi will help us recognize how ugly we have become in our worship of this voyeuristic, celebrity culture. I don’t want to downplay the gay aspect of this travesty, but there isn’t space in a column to tackle everything. For now, it is worth noting that there is welcome movement from groups and individuals, notably Ellen DeGeneres, toward letting young gays and lesbians know where they can find support. Bravo. To that necessary objective, we should add an urgent call to
renew respect for privacy. As a community of decent people, we have to rally ourselves to stop the insanity of narcissism and exhibitionism that inculcates the broader notion that nothing is off-limits.
Especially poignant was Clementi’s final note to the world, a Facebook status update saying that he was going to kill himself — an electronic adieu to his “friends,” those random and often anonymous folks who sign up to follow one’s life online. Friend, the noun, has become meaningless in world where “friending” is a verb. And privacy, I keep hearing, is dead forever. I don’t buy it. There was once a time when respecting others’ privacy was a matter of manners. Of course, it was also considered bad manners to display oneself — or one’s affections — in public. Some call it puritanism. I call it civilization. Too late, you say? Not at all. We have a model for this sort of thing. There was a time when many Americans commonly smoked cigarettes in public. Some of us didn't like it; it was bad for health and bad for society. Few smoke in public spaces today, in part because laws prohibit it, but also because smokers were made to feel ostracized. They were targeted as pariahs. Whether you agree with the anti-smoking movement, you can concede that it worked. Why not apply the same template to those who would invade another's space? We don’t want to outlaw cameras or otherwise limit free expression, but we can certainly make it unattractive and unacceptable to intrude on others. Next time someone takes your picture or posts it on the Internet without your permission, raise the roof. Point a finger. Stand athwart civilization and yell, no more. When others are victimized by another's lack of scruples, be outraged. And never, ever point a camera at anyone without his or her permission. It’s the least we can do — and not do — for Tyler Clementi. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.
olly Norris is not as well known as Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf or Pastor Terry Jones. But you should know who she is — even though she is no more. It will take just a moment for me to explain. In response to threats from militant Islamists, such custodians of Western culture as Comedy Central, Yale University Press and the Deutsche Oper have resorted to self-censorship. orris, a cartoonist for the Seattle Weekly, was troubled by what she saw — correctly, I think — as the slow-motion surrender of freedom of expression, a fundaright. CLIFFORD mental So she came up D. MAY with an idea: “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.” This may not have been a great idea — few ideas are — but the point she wanted to make was simple enough: Freedom implies the right to criticize and caricature. This freedom is now in jeopardy because a minority of Muslims believes the majority of non-Muslims can be intimidated. If we all stand up for freedom, Norris thought, surely freedom’s enemies will back down. What happened next: Anwar alAwlaki, the American-born cleric who became an al-Qaeda commander issued a fatwa calling for Norris to be murdered by any Muslim willing and able. She quickly retracted her proposal for a day of mass Mohammad-sketching but it was too late. As the Seattle Weekly cheerily informed its readers: You may have noticed that Molly Norris’ comic is not in the paper this week. That’s because there is no more Molly. The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, “going ghost”: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program — except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab. ... Norris views the situation with her customary sense of the world’s complexity, and absurdity. When FBI agents, on a recent visit, instructed her to always keep watch for anyone following her, she joked, “Well, at least it’ll keep me from being so selfinvolved!” ... (W)e wish her the best. In response: Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who plans to build an Islamic center at the edge of Ground Zero, issued his own fatwa condemning alAwlaki. “I am asking every Muslim in America to show solidarity with Molly,” he declared. President Obama, who championed the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom for Rauf, told reporters: “Freedom of speech also is guaranteed by the First Amendment and my administration intends to do whatever it takes to defend it.” Joe Klein at Time and Peter Beinart at the Daily Beast quickly launched a “Molly Norris Defense Fund,” collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from artists, journalists, novelists and some of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars. The ACLU, Human Rights Watch and the U.N. swung into action. The paragraph above is, of course, pure fantasy. The truth: The saga of Molly Norris has elicited hardly any notice from political leaders, elite journalists and celebrities. Nor has it stirred to action those who claim to represent America’s Islamic community. Nor have I seen anything from, Human Rights Watch. The ACLU is actually defending al-Awlaki. At the UN, Islamic countries are pushing to ban criticism of Islam under international law. Where does this leave us? Significantly less free than we used to be. One may satirize, criticize and even demonize Christians and Jews. Such speech remains protected by America’s Constitution. But when it comes to Islam and the sensibilities of overly sensitive Muslims, Constitutional protections are no longer to be taken seriously. To even discuss these matters, as I am now doing, risks being castigated as an Islamophobe. But the alternative is to watch Molly Norris “go ghost” and pretend that no historic changes are occurring. It is not just Molly but America and the West that are moving, changing, “essentially wiping away” our identity as the home of the free and the brave. And, like Molly, our elites view the situation with their “customary sense of the world’s complexity, and absurdity.” No doubt, they, too, wish us well. • • • Clifford D.

After the game, the ‘Boyden Boys’ often went to Al’s Nighthawk, the longtime Salisbury landmark operated by Al Boulus.
FALL FROM 1D to show your support for the school’s football team and the game on Friday night. If you couldn’t get a ride to the game with an upper classman, you made your mother drop you and your friends off a block from the stadium so you could look “cool” when you walked into the game. No family cars allowed. The game was an opportunity to check out the guys who were not on the football team. For the guys, it was a chance to check it all out. If you went to Boyden, you most likely went to the First Methodist Church after the game. The jukebox in the fellowship hall was blaring with all the new music and folks were “fast dancing.” For those who do not know, what is now referred to as “the shag” was simply called “fast dancing” in the ’50s and ’60s. A respectful hush would descend when the mighty football team joined the crowd. Win or lose, we loved the players, the team and our school. If the “Boyden Boys” didn’t find a date at the dance they went to Al’s Nighthawk, sat out back on Cheerwine crates and watched the “rats do the twist around the garbage cans.” If you were a student at North /Spencer High School, you went to Steve’s after the game. The crowd from East went to Winks or cruised town. I don’t know where the West and China Grove students found refuge. Possibly, those good fellows went home, but I doubt it. Regardless of the location, the motive was the same. We were all looking for romance. That was what fall was all about. Fall was also a time when our small Southern town had a glimpse of the seedy side of life. About mid-September, the fair came to Rowan County. All pseudo sophistication seemed to fall by the wayside. We all wanted to go to the fair. We saw the kids from the county, or if you were from the county, you got a look at the “stuck up” city kids. City and county kids had one thing in common during that week. We wanted to catch our male teacher standing in line to see the “hootchy-kootchy” shows.” Many times, we were successful. Catching a glimpse of an authority figure near the fancy shows was the thrill of the night. Woe be unto the men who chose the student night to attend the fair. I’m sure that the matrons of town were happy to see those burlesque shows eliminated from our county fair, but for the kids it was a tragedy. We couldn’t go in to see the performance unless we managed to sneak in, but the show outside the tent was worth the price of
attendance at the fair. In our 20s, fall was back to college, off to the Army and for far too many, off to Vietnam. For some, it was just another day on the job. As the years passed away, fall became the time to get our children ready for the first day of school, and then the first year of college, and then watching our grown children move away and begin their own lives. As we grow older, fall becomes a time to reflect. Thankfully, the good memories somehow overshadow the sad or unhappy times. Another year is entering its final phase. For this Baby Boomer, fall is the big wake-up call. It is time to get busy. There is so much left to do. The words from some of the Eagles greatest hit songs seem to put it all into perspective. “Why must we grow up so fast?” “We learn that to keep it together; we have to learn to leave it alone.” “The autumn leaves have got you thinking. Hopefully, someday we will find that it wasn’t really wasted time.”
A respectful hush would descend when the mighty football team joined the crowd. Win or lose, we loved the players, the team and our school.

hacked into the online “facebooks” of Harvard’s residential halls to create Fashmash. “The Kirkland facebook is open on my computer desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous facebook pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive,” Zuckerberg wrote at the time, in his online journal. The university’s Administrative Board called him in for a hearing, but let him remain at the school. Zuckerberg told the Harvard Crimson student newspaper that criticism of the site had made him rethink its viability. “Issues about violating people’s privacy don’t seem to be surmountable,” he said in an e-mail to the Crimson. “I’m not willing to risk insulting anyone.” In early 2004, former classmates say, the normally sociable Zuckerberg all but vanished for a week, emerging from his room to urge his friends to join a new creation called The Facebook. Stephanie Camaglia Reznick, then a freshman at Harvard who was the 92nd to sign up, says Zuckerberg fast gained notoriety. When she arrived for the first day of a discussion group for an introductory psychology class, eyebrows went up when Zuckerberg’s turn came to introduce himself. “Someone said, ‘Great, you’re the Facebook guy!’ And he was so embarrassed,” says Reznick, now a medical student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “He really played it down.” Classmate James Oliver recalls a conversation in the dorm soon after, when Zuckerberg — he and others still refer to him as “Zuck” — explained that he had worked to launch Facebook quickly to show up a Harvard administrator who had said a university-wide online directory would take two years to create. By the end of the semester, Facebook had nearly 160,000 users. Oliver, who now lives in Los Angeles, calls Zuckerberg the smartest person he met at Harvard. “People were making jokes in freshman and sophomore years that all the humanities majors were going to ask to be Zuck’s gardeners when he became rich and famous,” he said. But three fellow Harvard students quickly took issue with Zuckerberg’s creation. Identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and friend Divya Narendra said they had hired Zuckerberg to write computer code for their own social networking site in November 2003, and that he had stolen their idea. “I worked with the expectation that I would be included in the overall development of the project but found that I was being subjected to demands on my time without truly being made a part of the development team,” Zuckerberg wrote Cameron Winklevoss in a February 2004 e-mail at the time, later quoted in a lawsuit filed by the trio. The dispute over Facebook’s beginnings — which the company set-

Although a new movie portrays Zuckerberg as driven by insecurities, an acquaintance says his reall goal is to ‘change the world.’ tled by paying the trio $65 million — is far from unique. Inventors have been fighting to take credit for technology’s biggest ideas since at least the telephone, says Paul Saffo, a longtime Silicon Valley forecaster. “Being first is heavily overrated in the technology space because all really good ideas end up being collaborative,” says Saffo, of the San Francisco analysis firm Discern. “Ideas are cheap. It’s the execution that matters. And if you look at where Facebook is now compared to where it started, it’s a very difficult comparison. ... I wouldn’t give a whole lot of credence to people who are showing up and claiming credit.” In the summer after his sophomore year, Zuckerberg left Harvard for a rented house in Silicon Valley to build Facebook, expanding it to other campuses and then across the globe with venture funding from Peter Thiel, one of the founders of PayPal. Each time it seemed to plateau, Zuckerberg revamped it to create new utility and sources of entertainment. He turned down an offer from Yahoo! to buy the company for $1 billion. As it has grown into a phenomenon, Facebook has repeatedly sparked privacy concerns from critics concerned about its push to get users to reveal more personal information. But Zuckerberg, the face of Facebook, has offered up relatively little about himself. The bubble was breached in 2007 when a now defunct magazine for Harvard alumni called 02138 published a lengthy story about the dispute over Facebook’s beginnings. The magazine obtained court files that were supposed to be sealed and posted documents on its website, including Zuckerberg’s application to Harvard and long-ago postings from his online journal. Facebook sued, seeking a court order to have the documents removed. “They shed some insight into Zuckerberg which he clearly did not want people to see,” said Richard Bradley, who was the executive editor of the magazine. “Our lawyer con-
veyed to us the strong sense from his communication with Facebook’s law firm that Facebook’s lawyers were not entirely enthusiastic about pursuing this litigation, but that Zuckerberg himself was livid.” Facebook’s request was denied and the documents circulated freely on the Web, with little other information available to counter the portrait of Zuckerberg they offered. Some of those who know him say the perceptions are misguided. He had plenty of friends at Harvard and was a regular at parties, former classmates said. Rather than being some kind of evil genius, his success was based on the fact that he liked people and was well liked, helping him to understand what online tools would appeal to fellow students. Kirkpatrick, who wrote the book on Facebook, said first impressions of Zuckerberg can be misleading. He recalled the first time they met in the fall of 2006 at midtown Manhattan restaurant Il Gattopardo where the menu includes a $44 entree of grilled Piedmontese strip loin with Italian arugula. Zuckerberg walked in wearing sandals and a T-shirt. He offered little in the way of small talk. But when Zuckerberg started laying out his ideas about Facebook and his determination to keep reinventing it, Kirkpatrick said his brilliance was undeniable. “His motivation is to change the world,” Kirkpatrick says. Still, it’s not clear that describes the entirety of the man. The movie presents Zuckerberg not just as ultraintelligent, but as motivated largely by personal insecurities. For two hours in a dark theater, it offers an adrenaline-charged journey with a warped computer-age Aladdin driven to keep unleashing new genies from a bottle. “Well, you can’t deny it’s a good movie,” Kirkpatrick said, as the lights came up in a screening room this week and the final credits rolled. Maybe. But is the character on the screen the real Zuckerberg? “It wasn’t even close,” he said.

roof positive that Dracula lives comes in “Dracula: The Undead,” published in 2009 as a sequel to, of course, “Dracula.” And if you want more proof, talk to Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew, Dacre Stoker, as I did the other day. Dacre co-wrote the book with Ian Holt, who first wrote a screenplay as a sequel to STOKER the classic 1897 novel by greatgranduncle Bram. Now the book is in paperback and Dacre is going to make an appearance (hopefully in human form) at Literary Bookpost on Friday, starting at 6:30 p.m., as part of Night Out on the Town. Dacre, a Canadian citizen who lives in Aiken, S.C., has given up his day job as a land conservator to write more on the famous Vlad Tepes, or Vlad the Impaler, who is the model for Dracula. “Dracula, the Undead” has been sold to 26 publishers around the world. “My agent tells me we broke $500,000 sales around the world,” Dacre says. “The reaction has been interesting ... there are some who love the connection to the original and some people are very offended I messed with the original. I knew that would be a risk, when connecting to a classic. “The ones that make me feel good are the professional ones,” Dacre says. “They recognize we did a good job with research.” “It’s creative, it connects today’s vampire theme.” When Dacre travels to other countries, he is surprised by how many people have actually read the original, but far more people have seen the movies. “We knew we’d be dealing with that. Ian is a movie guy, so we made accommodations so people who didn’t read it, but had seen the movie” would find it appealing. Dacre says the Stoker name has been a blessing, not a curse. “We don’t rest on the laurels,” he laughs. “We don’t take it for granted. A lot of people don’t get the connection. Around Halloween they might recognize it.

Brewer returns for OctoberTour Concord author and historian Nancy B. Brewer returns to Literary Bookpost on Saturday, Oct. 9, beginning at noon. She first visited on Sept. 24. Brewer will be set up in a tent in front of the Bookpost, decked out in period costume, where she will be signing copies of her book, “Carolina Rain,” a Civil War period book, a comingof-age story, a wellresearched novel based on history filled with intimate details and eyewitness accounts of the War Between the States. “Carolina Rain” begins at the dawning of the Civil War and follows Theodosia Elizabeth Sanders, or Lizzie, into 1863. With an initial setting of Charleston, S.C., the novel will progress to Stanly County, N.C. In her late teens when the war begins, Lizzie will be 21 as the novel ends. She will have grown up in war. Brewer not only writes history, but also reenacts it as a Civil War nurse. She is a frequent participant in re-enactments, festivals and educational venues where the medical side of the Civil War needs to be told. Using a variety of artifacts and storytelling techniques, Brewer presents an emotional and informative program detailing life on the battlefields and in the field hospitals as experienced by nurses of the time. During her presentations she portrays an actual historical character as she talks of the people she has met, the battles she has seen and the horrors she has experienced.

ment. Dacre says he would love to understand how Hollywood works, but there is other vampire stuff coming out. Dacre says he is not a vampire fan. “It’s not my main interest” but he wants success for anything along the line that is a nod to Bram. “It’s an honor to continue the family tradition. I spent a lot of time trying to read as much as I could about Bram, so when I wrote the story, you’ll get a realistic perspective on him. He was an interesting guy, a heavy duty kind of guy. Continuing his character and looking at his notes ... I wanted to honor his work.” He “tried to do the book in the manner Bram would have.” It’s not a history book, “but we wanted to make it feel real. Dracula happened in real time, so we needed to do the same.” In this case, it’s 1912 and is set in places that do exist. “So people would feel the reality.”
The authors merged Dracula and Vlad hoping to appeal to modern readers with what the world knows now about Vlad. So how in the world did Bram’s Canadian relative end up in Aiken, S.C.? “It gives people pause,” Dacre laughs. His father had an uncle who was a horseman, who went to Aiken in the 1940s to spend winters. It’s still known for its horse farms. Dacre’s father loved horses, too, so when he retired, he moved the family to Aiken. Dacre met a local girl and the rest is ... Dacre is also a pentathlete who’s competed at the Olympic level, and coached the Canadian team. His highest scoring event is swimming. He says his easiest was horseback riding and running. If he’s going to keep working on the Dracula saga, he’d better work on his other two events, just in case: shooting and fencing.
Blount on Marx Bros.: Author examines ‘Duck Soup’ “Hail, Hail, Euphoria! Presenting the Marx Brothers in Duck Soup, the Greatest War Movie Ever Made,” by Roy Blount Jr. It Books. $19.99. BY MICHAEL HILL Associated Press
“Duck Soup” was a box office disappointment when it was released in 1933, at least compared with the Marx Brothers’ previous movies. All these decades later, the film about the brothers bringing a mythical country called Freedonia to war is not only considered probably the best Marx Brothers movie, but also one of the funniest movies ever made. “Hail, Hail, Euphoria!” by Roy Blount Jr. represents the veteran humorist’s stab at providing a running commentary on “Duck
Soup” as he watches the movie on his monitor, offering a bunch of side stories along the way. It’s not really film criticism. This slim book has a more modest goal of being a witty, idiosyncratic companion to people watching the movie. By the time they started filming “Duck Soup,” Groucho, Harpo and Chico were in their 40s with successful careers in vaudeville and Broadway, and they already had several movies under their belts. (Zeppo was only 32.) They were at their comedic height. While so many early film comedies come off flat now, “Duck Soup” is still funny (check out the famous mirror scene on YouTube with Harpo pretending to be Groucho’s reflection). The Marx Brothers were always absurd, but they pushed it
to the limit in “Duck Soup” — the breakout of war is celebrated with a musical number featuring the brothers playing xylophone on the helmeted heads of soldiers and then mule-kicking while singing “Heidi Heidi, Heidi Heidi, Heidi Heidi Ho!” Blount is no film critic, and his contention that “Duck Soup” is “the greatest war movie ever made” isn’t very convincing. But Blount puts his finger on its appeal when he notes the “absence of real people.” Everyone in the movie whose last name isn’t Marx is there strictly as a comic foil, notably the brothers’ long-suffering straight-woman, Margaret Dumont. After “Duck Soup,” the brothers moved to a new studio that toned down their anarchy and added romantic subplots to their
movies. They would never be as wild again. Blount is best when he digresses, like writing about the time Harpo and W. Somerset Maugham skinny-dipped, or about Karl Marx (no relation) throwing rocks at street lamps after some pub crawling. Then there’s Buster Keaton’s recipe for the best pie to throw at someone’s face (double crust, filled with flour and water and topped with lemon meringue for brunettes, or blueberry for those who are blond). This is a book for the subset of readers who really like the Marx Brothers and Blount. People who haven’t been exposed to either might just want to rent “Duck Soup.” Online: http://www.royblountjr.com/

I have no fangs, so they’re sort of disappointed.” Bram Stoker “wasn’t dinner table conversation,” Dacre says of his famous relative. It wasn’t until the ’70s that pop culture found out about Vlad the Impaler. “In Search of Dracula,” by Raymond T. McNally and Radu Florescu, came out in 1972. “Up to that point, everyone thought Bram knew a lot about Vlad Tepes. Then they found out he didn’t know a whole lot about the real guy, Vlad, and what he meant to society. We didn’t know too much about Bram, not until I was older.” He read “Dracula” when he was about 19, then read a biography of Bram a decade later. Bram Stoker worked in the theater; he was sickly, had been bloodlet, knew a little about physiology. “He was a creative guy who did a heck of a lot of research.” Meeting co-author Ian Holt was the catalyst for the book. Holt’s screenplay about Dracula was brought out in 2003. “He planted the seed with the script,” Dacre days. “He wanted to make it a novel and wanted a Stoker involved ... I was intimidated. How could I write a book? Then my strengths, organization and research, came out.” He did what he calls the playbook for the story. “With two guys in different cities writing,” they had to split things up. Dacre says writing with someone else did require a third party at times, and credits his wife for help. But he insists he could not have done it without Holt, who had experience as a screenwriter. He’s also “very far along with Elizabeth Miller with a nonfiction tribute book about Bram.” The 100th anniversary of his death is 2012. Dacre travels doing powerpoint presentations on Bram and Dracula and vampires. Holt is so busy, they can’t decide on a continuation of the sequel. “I’m doing notes to a prequel of Dracula,” Dacre says. “I found out there were so many doctors in the (Stoker) family.” He’s medically interested in the late 1800s and is trying to figure out how to write about vampires learning about blood chemistry.

If you love the Lowcountry of South Carolina as much as I do, you will enjoy the novels of Dorothea Benton Frank. Although Dorothea has not always lived near the beach, she grew up on Sullivan’s Island, S.C., which is still the charming, typical beach town we all remember growing up. While working in New York City after college, she met and married her husband and they bought a house in New Jersey where they raised two children. Dorothea returned often to Sullivan’s Island until her mother passed away and her siblings had to sell the family home. After the loss of her mother and the family home, she began writing about her childhood resulting in her first novel. Published in 2000, “Sullivans Island: A Low Country Tale,” sold a million copies. Later, Dorothea was able to buy a beach house across the street from her childhood home. To date, she has written 11 funny novels about the South Carolina coast. In her Lowcountry se-
ries, you will encounter interesting characters that include crazy families, cheating husbands, nosy neighbors, informed hairdressers and families that love adventure. Her characters have a way of showing up in more than one book and she has written sequels to several. Her newest, “Lowcountry Summer,” is a sequel to “Plantation.” With Dorothea’s love of Sullivan’s Island and the South Carolina coast, we can hope the novels keep coming.

As one of the stars of ‘billy elliot’ in Chicago, Dillon Stevens has had to get used to signing autographs.
Dillon’s big break
At only 13, Dillon Stevens of China Grove gets his big break — playing Billy’s best friend in the hit musical ‘Billy Elliot’ BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
hen 13-year-old Dillon Stevens of China Grove got the offer to be in the Chicago production of the hit musical “Billy Elliot,” he was hesitant. Even though it was a plum part — Michael Caffrey, Billy’s best friend — Dillon wasn’t sure he wanted his life to change that much. “I almost turned it down,” he says. He was worried about missing his family and his girlfriend and not being able to play sports. His love of performing won out, however, and within 48 hours of getting the offer, he was in Chicago. He had to pack up and leave so quickly that most of his friends didn’t even realize he was gone. It didn’t take long for him to know he’d made the right call. Being in “Billy Elliot,” he says “would have been a horrible thing to miss.” The Broadway musical “Billy Elliot” won a Tony for Best Musical last year. It continues to play in New York and opened in Chicago in March. It’s adapted from the 2000 film about a striking coal-miner’s son who dreams of dancing. The son of Angie and Mark Stevens, Dillon is living in Chicago with Sandy Overcash, who is serving as his guardian. Overcash is a teacher and the owner of Center Stage Dance Company, where Dillon has been taking dance classes for many years. Sandy taught Dillon at China Grove Elementary School when Dillon was in kindergarten. She saw something special in Dillon even then. “He loved to be in front of people and was not intimidated by anything,” she says. And despite the fact that he loved to be the center of attention, he was also able to listen and follow directions, she said. That year, Dillon’s parents approached Sandy about getting their daughter Hannah, then 3, into dance lessons at Sandy’s studio. They’d love to have Hannah, Sandy told them, but could they please also bring Dillon?
W
And so Dillon started dance classes with Sandy’s daughter, Sydney Overcash. When he performed his first recital, the audience “went nuts” for him, Sandy recalls. And Dillon went nuts for the experience. He continued to dance at Center Stage, taking tap, jazz, gymnastics, ballet and lyrical dance classes. Over the years, he’s won numerous awards for his dancing. Sydney, who has toured with shows as a professional dancer, says she knew the first day she met Dillon that he had “something different, something special that you can’t teach.” “It’s like a spark,” she said. Sydney laughs when she remembers that in one comic number she had Dillon wear a tutu. In a funny scene in“Billy Elliot,” Dillon also appears in a tutu on stage. So how, exactly, did such a young performer get such a big break? In July of last year, he traveled to Charleston, S.C. with Center Stage for a national dance competition. One of the judges, Josh Horner, saw something in Dillon. Horner at the time was playing the grown-up Billy in the Broadway production of “Billy Elliot.” That got the ball rolling, and before long, Dillon had been invited to Chicago for an open call audition. Alex Reynolds, the drama teacher at Carson High School, worked with Dillon on his singing before that audition. One day, Alex had Dillon stand on his deck and belt out his song while Alex mowed his yard. Whenever Alex couldn't hear Dillon over the sound of the lawn mower, he would stop mowing — and Dillon would know he needed to sing louder. After the Chicago audition, Dillon and Sandy were flown to New York for a series of four or five trips. “I just kept telling him, if nothing comes from it, you got to go to Chicago and New York, and anything these people teach you, they can’t take it away from you,” Sandy said. By the end of May, Dillon was told that he’d been chosen for the role of Tall Boy in the national tour of Billy
pounds might not sound like a lot, but when you weigh 65 pounds like Dillon does, it’s pretty significant. The best thing about the show, Dillon says, is that he’s become “so open to everything right now. “I’m getting so much experience,” he says. “I really love performing and making people laugh. It’s just a bunch of great things, all in one.” He does admit that it’s “pretty hard” being away from home, but after three months, he says he’s gotten used to it. “My parents visit as much as they can,” he says. He says they are Dillon Stevens, left, poses with Sydney Overcash in front “terribly proud” of him and tell him so often. of a playbill advertising the hit musical he’s in.

regretted the choice almost as soon as I’d made it. Six couples were spending the weekend in the mountains to celebrate my 40th birthday. And, let’s be honest, to get away from the kids. In an attempt to find a group activity, I chose whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River. Before I came to my senses, my husband had made the reservation and paid the deposit. Two boats, 12 people, no guides. Somehow, I had let my friends convince me we didn’t need professionEMILY als on this little FORD adventure. I’ve been whitewater rafting before. What others called “fun” I dubbed a nightmarish experience that had me on the verge of panic for the better part of three hours. However, my children had been along, causing some maternal protectionism to kick in. As if I would have been any protection for them whatsoever. This time, with no kids and experienced paddlers in our group, the experience would be different, I told myself. We arrived for orientation, which included no less than a dozen references to death. I felt my heart race. We learned the proper form for falling out of the raft. The proper form for being hurled over a waterfall. The proper form for rescuing someone before they are hurled over a waterfall. That would come in handy. Rain fell and thick fog descended as we packed into a stinky, sweaty school bus for the ride the boat launch. Here, I made another crucial decision, persuaded by my feminist companions. We would tackle not only the Nantahala but each other: Boys vs. girls. Which meant, unfortunately, that all the experienced paddlers were in the other boat. The women did have, however, a college crew athlete. We crowned her our co-captain, along with the team member we determined had the most masculine tendencies. Within five minutes of launch, we were stuck. Another raft rammed us, throwing one co-captain from the boat. Her counterpart grabbed her lifejacket and hauled her in just before she slipped underneath the raft. Girls: one rescue. While I suggested climbing out and letting the raft makes its empty way down the river, the others were determined to get off the rock and finish the journey. We worked our way loose and, I must admit, enjoyed much of the trip. Our brave captains suffered the most, one losing her sunglasses and other losing part of her toenail while fending off an invasion. We mostly kept up with the guys but eventually fell behind. At one point, we could see through the fog a raft stuck on a huge rock. It was our husbands. They begged us to free them, holding out paddles. We flew past them, relishing our newfound ability to actually steer. As the girls bounced over the grand finale Nantahala Falls, the boys freed themselves but came upon two men in the frigid water, nearly delirious. The men were overweight and exhausted. In swift-moving water just a few hundred yards from the falls, they hauled them in and expertly made their way to shore, depositing the stunned survivors and then heading over the falls. Boys: two rescues. You win. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

Status quo won’t work for this pair
Dear Blue Moon: You don’t say if you have discussed marriage, but if your boyfriend wants to live together and fold his young son into the household, then it would be best for the child if you two cohabited as a married, permanent couple. His father is responsible for making choices that are in his best interests. You have to do what’s best for you. If you don’t want to get married, living nearby and seeing one another often while maintaining separate households sounds ideal in many ways. Don’t let anyone push you into any living arrangement you don’t want — that is a recipe for certain failure for everyone.
you to keep spending money on yourself.” I am depressed and don’t feel good about myself at all. I put my whole paycheck in the bank so he can pay the bills. I have been going through this since I married him. I used to ignore him, but lately I can’t be around him, and I have thought more than a dozen times that I want to divorce him. How should I handle this situation? I feel it’s affecting our entire family. — Depressed Wife Dear Depressed: The obvious solution is for both you and your husband to hold an agreed-upon amount of money out of your paychecks to spend on your own hobbies, interests or needs. As long as you are both staying within your budgets, you should agree not to comment on how you are spending your own funds. If you can’t afford to do this right now, you should declare a temporary moratorium on your personal spending. We all hear that money is the most common tension point between couples — certainly lately, as the economy creates financial stress. You are right; fights over this and your husband’s commentary about your choices affect the household. You two can work this out, but only with mutual cooperation. A professional counselor could help mediate a solution — if he won’t go, go on your own. I appreciate Suze Orman’s financial advice; a book you will find useful is “Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny” (2010, Spiegel & Grau).
Dear Amy: I have been married 20 years. We have three teenage children. My problem is with my husband. I work to help support our family and I am in customer service, so I need to look professional at my job. Every time I spend money on clothes, hair or even occasionally my nails, my husband Dear Amy: I have been foltells me, “We can’t afford for lowing the conversation in
your column about overbearing book club members. Our book club had this problem, and I may have been one of the difficult members. We handled it by having a round-table meeting, not pointing fingers at anyone, and setting ground rules as to how we wanted our discussions to develop in the future. Our first rule was that you couldn’t interrupt the person speaking. Each of us spoke initially about our feeling about the book. If another member had a comment, she wrote it down and waited for her turn to speak. We now have a “clacker,” and if someone is dominating the discussion we jokingly use the clacker to remind her to behave. We like one another and respect one another, so we were willing to work on behavior to make the book club work. We have been together since 1991, with pretty much the same membership. — T. Golbus, San Rafael, Calif. Dear T.: Your book club has outlasted many marriages. And you’ve managed this by being respectful of one another and tackling a challenging problem openly — and as a group. You’ve provided an excellent template for others to use when faced with similar challenges, and I hope other groups will follow your example.

Oak Park residents get star treatment at the Meroney BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
T
he dressing room at the Meroney was aflutter with activity Sept. 13. Residents of Oak Park Retirement Community were being transformed into their favorite stars with costumes courtesy of Piedmont Players Theatre. “At Oak Park, every day you’re a star, but today you’ll be a movie star,” Oak Park activities director Karen Leonard said. The residents were preparing for a Hollywood red carpet affair planned for them at Oak Park that evening. Bart Bartholomew had requested to be Paul Newman, and he was given a spiffy jacket and a natty hat that helped achieve the transformation. “That’s a very good choice, Paul Newman,” said Elizabeth Muth a PPT staff member who was assisting. Bart’s wife, Bette, selected a gypsy outfit with a jet black wig. Juanita Johnson went deep south, wearing a peach dress with a hoop skirt. Martina Stonehouse had her heart set on being a show girl, and she emerged from the dressing room looking glitzy. “Here I am, Miss America,” she announced, and then, to the delight of those present, she grabbed a pole in the green room and exclaimed, “I’ll do the pole!” Ginny Van Patton looked elegant as Betty White, and Martha Hopkins made a charming Carol Burnett. Kathy Gray channeled Scarlet O’Hara. As Bob Hope, Foster Dionne emerged from the dressing room in a fancy smoking jacket, singing, “Thanks for the memories.” “That’s just perfect!” Leonard said. “It’s perfect for something; I don’t know what,” Dionne replied. Tom Alcock was going as John Wayne — and with good reason. Alcock was a body

Alcock was a police officer living in Chicago when Wayne came to town with the actor Red Buttons, Alcock says. They had just shot the movie “Hatari” and were in Chicago to donate a baby elephant to the Lincoln Park Zoo. “We had a good time,” he says. “He was a nice guy.” And Wayne was a “good drinker,” Alcock added. “He’d buy everybody in the bar a drink,” including him, Alcock said.
