County may buy plant to extend airport runway B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners decided Monday to pursue buying a rubber plant to make room for a longer runway at the Rowan County Airport. Purchase of the Perma-Flex facility on Airport Road would secure land for a planned 1,000-foot runway extension. Airport Director Thad Howell said former U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole earmarked $1.9 million for the extension in 2008, and the county was recently notified it would receive a portion of that funding.

“Since the original earmark announcement, the airport has received multiple grants,” Howell said. “The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has deducted this amount from the $1.9 million earmark.” After those deductions, about $932,000 was placed in a grant. The N.C. Division of Aviation designated the money for land acquisition because the airport isn’t ready to extend the runway. “Rowan County has not acquired all the land necessary,” Howell said. “A cost-benefit analysis needs to be accomplished, and environmental documentation needs to be completed and approved.”

The last property purchased for the runway expansion was the Silver Eagle building, which is currently being used by the facilities management department. Howell said a balance of $300,000 remains from the grant used to purchase the Silver Eagle facility in 2007. In total, the county has $1.2 million to apply toward land acquisition for the runway. Howell said he met with the county manager, Finance Director Leslie Heidrick and consultants from Talbert and Bright to discuss how to use the funds. On Sept. 17, the airport advisory board unanimously approved the consultants’ recommendation to pur-

chase the Perma-Flex plant. Perma-Flex is willing to move its operations to Summit Corporate Park, Howell said, and grant money could be used to support the relocation. The advisory board did have concerns about hazardous material contamination on the property and suggested sharing the environmental inspection expense. Judy Elder, a consultant with Talbert and Bright, said an environmental assessment will be done to determine the level of contamination and cost of cleanup. “‘I’ll make a motion that we instruct the county manager to begin

negotiations with Perma-Flex, pending the outcome of the environmental assessment that needs to be done,” said County Commissioner Jon Barber. County Commissioner Tina Hall asked if that would be contingent on the results of the assessment. “I don’t want us to get too involved in something that’s going to cost us millions to clean up,” Hall said. County Manager Gary Page assured commissioners that no offer would be made without coming back to the board first. The airport advisory board also

A.L. Brown senior dies in wreck

Two Red Hens

BY SARAH CAMPBELL AND SCOTT JENKINS news@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — Students at A.L. Brown High School released 44 balloons at 4:44 p.m. Monday in memory a classmate who wore the No. 44 jersey on the football field. Senior DaJon Montrell Torrence died Monday morning in a wreck in northwestern Cabarrus County, the N.C. Highway Patrol said. The 18-year-old football player apparently fell asleep at the wheel just after 7 a.m., his younger brother told investigators. His 1990 Honda crossed the center line on Mooresville Road near Trinity Church Road and hit another car, Highway Patrol Sgt. Glenn Stokes said. Torrence was taken to Carolinas TORRENCE Medical Center-NorthEast and died there about two hours later, Stokes said. His brother, Darius Willis, was treated and released from the hospital. Willis, 16, is a junior at A.L. Brown and also plays football. The driver of the other vehicle had minor injuries and was not taken to the hospital, Stokes said. The brothers dropped their mother off at work shortly before the wreck, Stokes said. Speed was not a factor in the crash, he said. The speed limit on that section of Mooresville Road is 55 mph. Torrence was a linebacker for the Wonders. “He was extremely well-liked by his teammates and the student body,” head football coach Ron Massey said. “He had a lot of friends and it was evident today how many lives he touched.” Principal Kevin Garay told the Post Torrence was a “fine young man.” “DaJon was a student we were all proud of,” he said. “He will be sadly missed by his classmates, teammates and staff here.” Garay said the school had about a dozen counselors on hand Monday to provide support to students and staff. “This is a very difficult tragedy,” Garay said. “I’m very proud of the way (the students) have pulled together, they’ve comforted one another and supported once another.” Massey said Torrence was rarely in the spotlight, but his hard work didn’t go unnoticed. “I’m proud of his contributions,” he said. “He’s not a kid that everybody read about in the paper, but he was a big part of our team.” Torrence joined the team as a freshman. “He cared about our football program, he cared about his teammates and he represented himself the way we ask football players to represent themselves,” he said. “We’re more concerned about how they develop as young men than we are as football players. “He came a long way here in four years and hopefully football made an impact on his life. Massey said the team will continue to provide support to Torrence’s brother, Darius, and mother, Crystal Willis. “He’s obviously going to be missed,” he said. “He’ll be in our thoughts and prayers for a long time.” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Friends team up to make cupcakes for OctoberTour BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

hen OctoberTour rolls around this weekend, you’d better get in line early to get your red velvet cupcake or your triple chocolate cupcake or your pumpkin pecan cupcake. Trust me, they won’t last long. The Two Red Hens have been working hard — all you have to do is enjoy their sweet treats. The Two Red Hens are Marcia Miller and Melissa Heilig, both of Salisbury, who got their start at last year’s OctoberTour. A friend asked the dynamic duo to make cupcakes for the Bank Street Café. “Our first order was for 200 jumbo cupcakes,” says Melissa, who was six months pregnant at the time. “We did not know a business was born.”

Foster enjoying new role at the helm of Rowan Helping Ministries B Y S USAN S HINN Catawba College News Service

Things happen for a reason, and in the case of Kyna Foster, that could not have been truer; when she found out that her position at Food Lion had been eliminated, a new door opened. “I can apply for the job at Rowan Helping Ministries!” she thought. “So I did,” says Foster, 45. “That’s why I ended up here. My life’s journey and everything that I learned along the way prepared me for this.” Foster became executive director of Rowan Helping Ministries on July 1, taking over from Dianne Scott, who held that position exactly 20 years.

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

“Every day here feels like it makes a difference. That was what was missing in my corporate career.” KYNA FOSTER On being executive director of RHM

A fourth-generation native of Rowan County, Foster grew up off Long Ferry Road and graduated from North Rowan High School in 1983 and Catawba College in 1989. Her parents, the late Dr. William Henry Snider and Leona Massey Snider, both graduated from Catawba. Snider was a dentist and his

wife was a schoolteacher and principal. But Catawba was the last place on Foster’s mind when she graduated from high school. Instead, she went to the University of North Carolina, then Gardner-Webb, taking a year off in be-

tween schools to model in Atlanta and get married. She arrived at Catawba her junior year, a new mom to Karla, now 23. She started out as a biology and chemistry major, planning to take over her father’s dental practice. Instead, she says, she found her “inner geek.” She switched her major to business with a concentration in accounting. Her second daughter, Kia, now 21, arrived two weeks before graduation. “She came with me to my final exams,” Foster says. One professor kept the school nurse’s number in his pocket that whole semester, afraid Foster would go into labor while in class. Working 20 hours a week, Foster graduated cum laude from Catawba and was a member of the Alpha Chi honor society. Son Kenan, 19, was born in 1991. At Catawba, she respected Bill Trenchard, a former R.J. Reynolds executive who was her accounting instructor. “He brought into the classroom real-life case experience,” she says. Dr. Stephen Hiatt was her marketing professor. He always mispronounced her first name, but she never corrected him. “Correct people,” he told her when he found out. “Your name is important.” Foster’s mother went to the Rowan Public library to find a name, she says, “that meant something.” Kyna, pronounced ‘kee-na,’ is Gaelic and means “wise lady.” “You’ve got to live up to that,” she says. Since she has been back in Salisbury, Foster has returned to campus to play tennis or just take a walk. “The fact that I have a history there with my parents is the same as going home,” she says. After graduation, Foster accepted a position in Greensboro as an accountant, later going to work for Tanner Companies in Rutherfordton as corporate controller and director of support services. She joined Food Lion in 2000 as assistant controller. Foster had been a single mom since 1996, and wanted to come back home since her parents were getting older. She liked what she was doing at Food Lion, but she wanted something more. “I wanted to do something that made a difference,” Foster says. She remembers praying the Prayer of Jabez, that she

charged with meeting the needs of people in crisis and those less fortunate. “You don’t want to mess this up. I pray a lot.” A member of Trading Ford Baptist Church, Foster likes the fact that her staff prays before every meeting. “You don’t do that in the corporate world,” she says. Yet she’s brought a lot of the corporate world with her, making many changes in the last eight weeks. Foster has created a forecasting process for cash flow, and operates within a monthly budget. “Given this economy, it’s been a real challenge,” she says. “We are pressed on two sides in that the demand for assistance is increasing while many of our donors are not able to give at the same level as they have given in the past.” Foster has restructured the organization. More than ever, it has a focus on the clients it serves. Foster has given the organization more of a business model and expanded resource development. She moved her administrative assistant to a position in this area. “It’s not about me,” she says. She eliminated a management layer between herself and the staff, and rewrote every job description. Foster doesn’t care for the “lean and mean” analogy that so many businesses use these days. “We want to be lean and kind,” she says. “It’s all about helping.” That’s why she wants staff members to say “Rowan Helping Ministries” instead of using the acronym “RHM.” “It’s who we are,” she says. Freelance writer Susan Shinn is a full-time student at Catawba College.

And be nice to everybody.’ ” Board of Commissioners Chairman Carl Ford called for a moment of silence in memory of Cohen. Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

would be blessed and that her territory would be enlarged. A couple of days later, a vice president at Food Lion asked her to manage the department of community affairs and later she was promoted to director of community affairs and customer relations. Now, Foster’s territory has again been enlarged with the position at Rowan Helping Ministries. Having two kids before she graduated from college, Foster knows how it is to live on a tight budget. “It gives me insight into the struggle that people have,” she says. “You don’t want to call your daddy and say ‘help.’ We were struggling between paychecks to put food on the table.” She had her daughters without health insurance and made payments while she was pregnant to be able to deliver at the hospital. “Those struggles prepare you for life,” Foster says. At Food Lion, she got to know the nonprofit community in Salisbury, since administering Food Lion’s foundation was part of her job. “Every day here feels like it makes a difference,” Foster says. “That was what was missing in my corporate career.” Foster worked with Scott for three weeks before her position became official. “This is an awesome place to work,” she says. “Every day, we have more volunteers here than we have staff. Our staff and volunteers are a wonderful group of people who work hard to improve the quality of life for others. Without the dedication of our volunteers we would not be able to open our doors.” Rowan Helping Ministries board member Jean Wurster is good friends with Scott, and is getting to know Foster as well. Foster is meeting separately with each board member. “The one thing they (Foster and Scott) do have in common is a heart for the job,” says Wurster, who works in the college’s Corriher-Linn-Black Library. “Kyna has a real understanding of how the corporate world works. I’m just so proud she’s a Catawba graduate. I think she’s going to take Rowan Helping Ministries to new levels and we’re ready. Dianne moved us forward and Kyna is going to keep moving us forward. I’m just thrilled that we found her.” Foster says she feels an “incredible responsibility” to the community. “They’re entrusting us with their charitable donations. We are

Local events planned for Mental Health Awareness Week B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

The economic cost to society of untreated mental illness is more than $100 billion each year. But there are treatments, and there is help for people with mental illness. That’s the message a group gathered to share in the front of the Rowan County courthouse Monday. Members and supporters of the Rowan County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness held a

demonstration and will sponsor a number of events in the coming days during Mental Illness Awareness Week. Sarah Boyd said she would tell people “they can recover and treatment works.” She hopes families realize there is help available and “recovery is possible.” Boyd will share her story of living with mental illness this week at a service at Milford Hills Methodist Church. Major Sampson, who will also speak at the service, said he hopes people will

walk away with “knowledge and understanding” about mental illness. Joyce Parra wants people to understand the brain is an organ and mental illness is an illness of an organ. “The first thing people think is crazy rather than it’s an illness,” Parra said. The Rowan chapter gathered at noon, the same time as the 36 other chapters around the state. This week’s theme is, “Changing Attitudes, Changing Lives.” The Rev. Bill Batterman,

pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, said an important message is for people to not stigmatize, not discount and not fatalize mental illness. “It is not fatal,” Batterman added. Batterman said he hopes that through this week of events, people can put an end to the stigma of mental illness. The events are as follows: • Today, a support group meeting, 7 p.m., Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1908 Statesville Blvd. • Wednesday, “In Our

Own Voice: Sarah Boyd and Major Sampson,” 7 p.m., Milford Hills Methodist Church, 1630 Statesville Blvd. Batterman said this will include testimonials from people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and how they live with it. • Thursday, a luncheon at the Salisbury VA Medical Center, Building No. 6, social room, where Dr. John Gilmore, UNC School of Medicine, will discuss “Schizophrenia and Brain Development,” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost to attend

is $25, and reservations must be made by today. For more information, call Susan Agner at 704-647-0168 or e-mail agnerboyd@aol. com. • Sunday, a candlelight vigil and healing service at 7:30 p.m at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1908 Statesville Blvd. The vigil will take place inside the church. Mark Vanhoy will play guitar and Batterman will provide a message. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

Blessing of the Animals

Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz says residents will benefit BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

A coalition of mayors from the state’s largest cities has set a legislative agenda for 2011, and Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz says local residents will benefit. The N.C. Metropolitan Mayors Coalition has a proven track record since 2001, said Kluttz, who is the longest-serving mayor in the group and vice chairperson. “This is all good for Salisbury,” Kluttz said. The mayors met for two days last month in Asheville and chose to lobby state lawmakers on the following: • Stronger anti-gang legislation. The legislation passed last year, which the coalition lobbied for, ended up becoming watered down, Kluttz said. “It was not strong enough,” she said. The coalition will ask law enforcement officials for suggestions on how to strengthen anti-gang laws, she said. • No unfunded mandates. “When the state runs into budget problems, they take monies intended for us and then we can’t make our budget and we have to raise taxes,” Kluttz said. “They balance the budget on our backs.” When the economy failed after the terrorist attacks in 2001, the state diverted $2 million intended for Salisbury, and the city is still suffering, Kluttz said. “That’s one reason our roads have never caught up,” she said. Legislators could face a $3.3 billion budget deficit when they return to Raleigh in 2011, according to the Office of State Budget and Management. • No personnel cuts to the justice system. “We know that a clogged up court system affects our public safety,” said Kluttz, wife of Rowan County District Court Judge Bill Kluttz. “It has a large effect on police departments and the safety of our citizens.” The coalition is looking for ways to help the court system deal with backlogs, Kluttz said. • Support biotech industry

Cleveland gears up for Heritage Day BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

CLEVELAND — The town is gearing up for its third annual Heritage Festival. Town Commissioner Frankie Fleming-Adkins said during the board of commissioners meeting Monday that a variety of demonstrators will travel from across the state to show off their crafts, which range from cheese-making to chair-caning. “We’ve got demonstrators doing the old timey way of carving, weaving and woodworking with some of the original tools that our forefathers brought,” she said. Heritage Day will be held from noon to 6 p.m. at Cleveland Town Park. Fleming-Adkins said children will be able to participate in games and pumpkin paintings. “We’ve got a lot going on that day,” she said. “We’re going to have lots of entertainment and food.” Vendors will also be on hand selling their wares. Those interested in having a booth during the festival can pick up an application at the Town Hall. The town will also play host to visitors from Northern Ireland, who are set to arrive Oct. 16. “The festival gives the citizens of Cleveland an opportunity to come out and meet everybody,” Fleming-Adkins said. The visitors from Killyleagh will also participate in the re-signing of a proclamation during a reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 22. Heritage Festival will wrap up on Oct. 23 with the tractor pull. The event is traditionally part of the Heritage Day, but will be held as a separate event from 1 to 6 p.m. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Denise Waller, left, stops as the Rev. Carrie Bishop of Calvary Lutheran Church, blesses JennyJenny, Waller’s blue-tongued skink during a Sunday blessing of the animals service at Central United Methodist Church. BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — Every now and then, “JennyJenny” stuck out her tiny tongue as Denise Waller petted her. The bluetongued skink rested calmly on Waller’s shoulders while dogs barked in the background. It was a mini-zoo Sunday at Central United Methodist Church in Spencer as dozens of people and lots of their fourlegged friends gathered on the lawn for the blessing of the animals service. The annual service celebrates Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. “Saint Francis was called by God to care for his creation,” said the Rev. Carrie Bishop, pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Spencer, which also participated in the service. Waller inherited the bluetongued skink from her ex-husband who’d bought the lizard for their children. He was unable to keep it and asked Waller if she’d take it. “I never had one and I didn’t know I’d like having a reptile,” she said. When it’s warm, Waller

Granite Quarry seeks bus shelter on Lyerly Street BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen asked the county Monday night to dedicate funds for a bus shelter and bench at the Lyerly Street (Brinkley Center) stop for Rowan Express East. The town’s request to the Rowan Transit System also asks for money toward a bench at the Fred’s bus stop. Owners of both the Brinkley Center and Fred’s have agreed to provide space for the improvements. The town will supply the labor to build the shelter on Lyerly Street. The town also agrees to maintain the shelter as needed and the grounds around it, Town Manager Dan Peters said in a letter to Clyde Fahnestock, director of Rowan Transit. Rowan Express East offers a 14-passenger bus traveling a 22-mile, hour-and-20-

minute loop seven times a day (Monday-Friday) through Granite Quarry, Rockwell and Faith with connections to Salisbury. The service started July 19. “The ridership is beyond what they expected,” Granite Quarry Mayor Mary Ponds said. “And Granite is their busiest stop,” Peters added. The cost of riding is $1 per passenger. Children under 5 ride free. Transfers from Rowan Express East to Salisbury Transit, Rowan Express (South) and the Concord-Kannapolis RIDER Transit System are free. In other action, aldermen passed a resolution supporting the $12 million bond referendum on the Nov. 2 ballot for RowanCabarrus Community College. If voter-approved, the bonds would pay for capital improvements and projects on the North Campus in Salisbury. RCCC wants to develop new programs in

health sciences and provide a new and larger fire training ground for firefighters and other emergency first-responders. The North Campus in Salisbury is nearly 50 years old and also in need of major repairs and renovations. RCCC is the state’s second-fastest growing campus and the eighth-largest overall. “The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen champions the passage of the Nov. 2 bond referendum and strongly encourages Rowan County voters to support the bond as well,” the town’s resolution says. In another matter, aldermen gave their consensus to a future realignment of U.S. 52 that would take a bypass to the north of the town closer than some previous proposals called for. The N.C. Department of Transportation was asking for input, so a future U.S. 52 corridor might at least be placed on a new plan-

Businesses can now take advantage of Landis recycling program B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — Businesses can now participate in the town’s single-stream recycling program, which began in August. The program was originally offered as a residential service only since most businesses usually provide their own garbage services. Some business owners approached the town about joining the program. The board approved including businesses during its Monday meeting. The monthly fee of $15 per customer includes garbage pickup, trash pickup, leaf/limb/debris service and recycling and isn’t normally provided for a business, but since there was so much inquiry, it has been extended to

businesses. The staff recommended a monthly charge of $4 per business to cover the cost of the recycling bin. The business would have to contact Town Hall, if interested. Town Manager Reed Linn said many downtown businesses have asked to be a part of the recycling program including some other larger businesses like Landis Plumbing. Linn said if a business needs more than one bin, it should contact SHARKS Recycling directly. He said they anticipate the program to be available to business customers by mid-November. Alderman Roger Safrit asked about churches that may want to recycle and what it would cost them. Linn said because they already receive services like trash pick-

In other business The Landis Town Board also: • Discussed the 2nd annual cancer survivors 5K walk/run to be held Saturday at the Landis Pool at 7:30 a.m. and the event beginning at 9 a.m. There will be lots of activities including a band, hot dogs and hamburgers. • Discussed the Fall Festival, Saturday, Oct. 30, 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., which will be in the 100 block of N. Central Ave. There will be a number of activities that night including Trunk-or-Treat, hayrides, a band and more. • Approved having Central Avenue to Ryder and Garden streets closed from 3-10 p.m. so organizers can set up for the event and clean up at the end. • Tabled a resolution suppporting a Rowan County bond for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. The resolution asks for support of a $12 millon bond to fund capital improvements and projects to the college’s north campus in

up and leaf and debris services, they, too, would already be paying $15. Thus far, residential recycling has saved eight truck loads from going to the landfill. The board scheduled a public hearing during the November meeting to discuss a proposed animal sanitation ordinance. The problem is people are walking their dogs and allowing them to defecate on public property. This ordinance would set a fine of $25 for violations. Owners will be required to clean up after their pet by disposing of the waste in a bag or other appropriate container. The only exception is for people who are legally blind and use a guide dog.

Town Manager Reed Linn said he didn’t have any more information. The board will revisit the issue next month. • Approved having Linn conduct sufficiency studies on three properties being annexed voluntarily. The properties are 1208 Highland Ave., owned by Gary M. Moss; 304 Haws Run Road, owned by Terry Griggs, and less than an acre near railroad crossing at 312 S. Main St. The property is owned by the town, but is not yet included in the town limits. • Heard from District Court Judge Marshall Bickett, who is running Bickett has spent 32 years in the courts, he said. He is running to fill the seat vacated by Superior Court Judge John Holshouser, who had to retire when he turned 72.

Salisbury borrowed $29 million to develop Fibrant, which was threatened last summer by a bill that would have killed cities’ ability to launch their own fiber-optic systems. • More money for the N.C. Mobility Fund. The coalition was instrumental in supporting the creation of the mobility fund and removing the I-85 Yadkin River Bridge from the state’s equity formula, Salisbury Assistant City Manager Doug Paris said. “This was a huge success for our district that saved us $87 million over 12 years,” he said. “Without it, road construction and maintenance in our district would have been crippled by the cost of the

bridge.” • Defend existing statutory roadway responsibilities between the state and local government. • Continue to improve the relationship between the N.C. Department of Transportation and local government. The coalition, which has one paid staffer, includes 26 mayors from cities with more than 30,000 residents. Annual dues are population-based, and Salisbury pays $6,490. Paris said it’s worth every cent. “We’ve benefitted as much as any city,” Kluttz said. The mayors meet again in February to tweak the agenda before the legislature goes into session. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

A robbery investigation led to a drug arrest Friday. Salisbury Police arrested and charged Alex Monroe Jefferson, 44, of 200 W. Harrison St., with felony possession of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia at 124 N. Shaver St. Police responded to the Shaver Street residence after a man reported seeing Jefferson, who the man said robbed JEFFERSON him Thursday night. Jefferson was seen near the Wilco Hess on East Innes Street before going to the house. When police arrived, they asked everybody inside the house to come out. Two females and a male came outside and said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody else was inside. Police received consent to search the premises. Once inside, police discovered Jefferson in the bathroom. Police found a crack pipe and a baggie containing several crack rocks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; .10 grams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in an enclosed area under the bathroom sink. Jefferson was placed in the Rowan County Jail under a $1,000 secured bond. The robbery is still under investigation.

Salisbury P o l i c e charged 37year-old Jerry Lynn Beeler, 2320 Newberry St., Charlotte, with misdemeanor larBEELER ceny after manager Gabriel Perez reported Beeler was taking coins from the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terminator game machine. Police said Beeler fled the scene on foot after being approached by Perez. Beeler was taken into custody at a nearby car dealership and placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $1,000 secured bond. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said the business found no damage to any of the game machines. A small key was found in Beelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pants pocket, but police have yet to determine if it unlocked the machine. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. An audit of the machine is being done to see how much money was taken. Collins said Beelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charge could be upgraded to felony larceny depending on the amount of money stolen.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture commissioner says heavy rain that drenched eastern counties could mean lower yields for sweet potatoes, cotton, peanuts and soybeans. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler toured much of the region by air and ground and saw many crops under water. He said that would affect yields because those crops were about to be harvested. Going into last week, only 11 percent of the cotton crop had been harvested, and 31 percent of the sweet potato crop had been dug. Peanut and soybean harvest was just beginning. Troxler said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to estimate the cost of crop damage. He encouraged farmers to document their damage and stay in touch with their county Cooperative Extension agent and U.S. Farm Service Agency office. The commissioner toured the region last Friday.

EX-SPEAKER LEAVES PRISON

Lessons from Black t sounds as if former House Speaker Jim Black, who was released from federal prison Monday, intends to devote at least part of his rehab time to education advocacy. “While in office, I made speech after speech about the need for education as a means of reducing the prison population,” Black said in the statement after being released from a prison in Jesup, Ga. “I now know, first hand, that this is true. So much of what I have learned these last few years has re-energized my commitment to providing educational opportunities to our state’s young people, as well as adult learners.” Black is right, but it isn’t just aimlessly adrift dropouts or gang-bangers in training who could use the benefit of his experience. So could some of his former colleagues in government. If Black wants to perform a valuable service to education, he should embark on a round of speeches emphasizing the importance of elected officials upholding the public trust and maintaining the integrity of government office. Who better than the JIM BLACK 75-year-old Black, who spent almost three years in jail on corruption charges, to impress upon other elected officials the importance of educating themselves about the finer points of ethics and campaign contribution laws? Who better than he to outline the consequences of compromising situations? Black knows the subject intimately. His fall from grace was one of the most stunning political episodes in the state’s history. It’s a modern morality tale in which overweaning ambition and the lust to retain legislative dominance proved too tempting for the Mecklenburg Democrat who was accused of taking money in exchange for influencing legislation, bribing another legislator to switch parties and obstruction of justice, among other allegations. Along with time behind bars, he also had to satisfy a $1 million state fine. Lest anyone thinks such lessons are unnecessary in the wake of recent reforms, consider just a few episodes that have played out in the wake of the Black scandal. Former Gov. Mike Easley remains under federal and state investigations. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign office was fined $30,000 for failing to report private flights that ferried her or election staffers around the state. Just last week, businessman Rusty Carter paid a $100,000 civil fine for his role in funneling illegal donations to Perdue and two state senators. So, yes, by all means Black should use his hard-won experience to educate others. And he should start with some of the “adult learners” in Raleigh.

LETTERS

TO THE

Let’s take a closer look at letter writer’s claims A recent letter by Steve Pender bemoaned “American prosperity is in danger.” However, the “evidence” he provided is inaccurate and/or misleading. He argued American jobs would be lost while there is “a (government) moratorium on drilling” in the Gulf of Mexico while our government is proposing a “billion dollar bailout” for the Mexican and Brazilian offshore oil industry. But there is no overall moratorium on Gulf drilling. It is only for deepwater wells like those of the BP spill. The moratorium exists until satisfactory inspection and safety standards are established. The supposed “bailout” is part of the U.S. Export-Import Office’s longterm loan guarantees, which will help American businesses sell to the oil industries of those two countries. A win-win for both countries. Mr. Pender wonders about U.S. financial investment in small charcoal ovens for households in Third-World countries, suspecting this is related to curbing global warming and thus influencing government policy to adopt cap and trade reducing CO2 emissions. In fact, the reason for these improved charcoal ovens is that they are safer — they emit less carbon monoxide, which is highly poisonous in enclosed spaces. Replacing older ovens with newer efficient ones has no real effect on reducing CO2 and isn’t related to global warming. Finally, Mr. Pender states that George

Soros, investment billionaire, is for cap-andtrade regulations so he can benefit by “gaming” the system. Actually, Mr. Soros is against cap and trade precisely because it can be potentially rigged by commodity and finance investors. As cited by the online journal New Finance, Mr. Soros prefers an outright tax on carbon emissions rather than a cap-and-trade program. According to Soros, “cap and trade ‘can be gamed’; that’s why financial types like me like it — because there are financial opportunities.” But he further stated that would be wrong and a deterrent to effective CO2 regulation. — Tim Truemper Salisbury

am trudging through a drizzling rain when I come across this wooden footbridge I've never seen before. Well, that's not exactly true. I've driven this stretch of road a thousand times to the doctor's office, the mall. So surely I’ve seen this bridge a thousand times, too. But obviously, I saw it in the way you sometimes see things when you’re driving past at LEONARD 45 miles an PITTS hour, which is to say, not really. Your focus is the destination, not the journey. But walking is different, slower. And this early morning, deep into an 18-mile hike, I find myself noticing things I’ve never really noticed before. A lake not quite visible from the road. A sidewalk curving gracefully beneath an overhang of trees. And this wooden footbridge over a small, shrub-filled hollow. It is your fault I am out here on a miserable Saturday morning when even the sun is sleeping in. Back in April, I used this space to announce my participation in the Washington, D.C., leg of the annual Susan G. Komen 3-Day For The Cure, a 60-mile, three-day walk to raise money against breast cancer. I don't do bake sales, so I'd hoped a few of you would sponsor me and I figured I'd contribute whatever more was necessary to reach the mandatory $2,300 minimum. Six months and almost 500 donations later, my tally stands north of $27,000. You guys are amazing. And motivating. When I first started this, I was spurred by a fear that, come the big day, I would end up bent double after the first couple of miles, gasping and wheezing while some 82-year-old lady with a walker stumped by, yelling, “Quit hoggin’ the road, sonny!” Now my greatest fear is of returning to this space to tell people who donated 27 large in my name that I couldn’t close the deal. Which is why, every spare moment, I’m training like Rocky. The walk will be Oct. 8-10. As it happens, the day after is my 53rd birthday. That doesn’t qualify me for the senior discount at IHOP, but it does mean I am of an age to contemplate some of the grand sweep of this life. Lately, I have this theory that we live in three great arcs. The first 25 years are for coming of age, figuring out who you are, getting an education, starting a career. The next 25 are for rat racing, raising your kids, paying a mortgage, building a life. But from 50 until ... that’s for having some fun, for trying something new, for being of service, and for doing some of those things you always said you’d do, someday. As I said, it’s a theory. But sometimes life is like driving a car. You are so focused on the destination that you keep getting to places without realizing how you got there. When did my youngest child become a woman? How is it that high school will soon be 40 years past? What happened to those things I said I’d do, someday? I always said someday I’d walk to raise money against breast cancer in honor of my mom, who died of the disease in 1988. Each year, I found reasons to talk myself out of it, not least of which is the fact that I am more sedentary than your average boulder. I’d have to be crazy to think of walking 60 miles. And the truth is, I probably never would have done it, except that one day, I just did: I snuck up on myself, signed up without giving myself a chance to talk me out of it. Now myself is wondering if I’ve lost my mind. Myself keeps reminding me that we don't do things like this. But you know, you get tired of getting places and wondering how you did. Life is an act of will. Life is conscious decisions, including the decision that maybe “someday” has waited long enough. And life is an understanding: We’re all going to the same destination. The only difference is in what you choose to see along the way. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — After the governor began raiding the state’s electronic bingo halls, casino owners sent lobbyists to the Capitol with orders to make their Vegas-style parlors legal. Part of the plan, federal authorities said Monday, was to offer lawmakers millions of dollars in bribes. The Justice Department unveiled an indictment accusing the owner of Alabama’s largest casino, four state senators and several lobbyists of a scheme to buy and sell votes in the Legislature. One defendant has pleaded guilty to offering a senator $2 million to vote for a bill to keep the bingo machines operating. Since Republican Gov. Bob Riley began his raids nearly two years ago, the issue has set off angry statehouse rallies and complaints by local officials that casino closures cost poor counties much-needed jobs. Against this backdrop and with the pro-gambling bill on the verge of passage, the Justice Department announced last spring that it was looking into corruption at the statehouse. On Monday, federal agents spread out across the state to arrest 11 people on federal charges of conspiracy, bribery and honest services fraud.

Supreme Court opens with three women for first time in history WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court began a new era Monday with three women serving together for the first time, Elena Kagan taking her place at the end of the bench and quickly joining in the give-and-take. In a scene that will repeat itself over the next few months, Kagan left the courtroom while the other justices remained to hear a case in which she will take no part. She has taken herself out of 24 pending cases, including the second of the two argued Monday, because of her work as the Obama administration’s solicitor general prior to joining the court in August. Opening its new term on the traditional first Monday in October, the court turned

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The case of an alleged pimp suspected of abducting two teenage girls and keeping them captive while forcing them into prostitution could include dozens of other victims, authorities said Monday. Police urged other possible victims of suspect Leroy Bragg to come forward. Bragg, 34, was arrested Sept. 28 and charged with trafficking a minor, solicitation and other crimes in the alleged abduction of a 13year-old girl. He also is suspected of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl, though charges have not been filed in that case. “We believe that Mr. Bragg had encounters with many of our young women in Los Angeles,” police Capt. Ann Young said. “This is such a

NEW YORK (AP) — The Nobel Prize in medicine went to a man whose work led to the first test tube baby, an achievement that helped bring 4 million infants into the world and raised challenging new questions about human reproduction. Robert Edwards of Britain, now an 85-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Cambridge, lived to see the far-reaching ramifications of his hugely controversial early research. “Today, Robert Edwards’ vision is a reality and brings joy to infertile people all over the world,” the Nobel Committee said in Stockholm. It began with the birth on July 25, 1978, of the first test-tube baby, Louise Brown, to a couple who had been trying to conceive for nine years. With in vitro fertilization, or IVF, an egg is removed from a woman, mixed with sperm in a laboratory, allowed to divide for four or five days, then implanted in the womb to grow into a baby. Today the odds of a couple having a baby after a single cycle of IVF treatment are about 1 in 5, roughly the same odds as a fertile couple trying to have children naturally. Edwards and research partner Patrick Steptoe, who died in 1988, faced opposition to their IVF experiments. Some religious leaders called it morally wrong. Some government officials thought it more important to limit fertility than treat infertility, and some scientists were worried about the safety of embryos.

BERLIN (AP) — An American missile strike killed five German militants Monday in the rugged Pakistan border area where a cell of Germans and Britons at the heart of the U.S. terror alert for Europe — a plot U.S. officials link to alQaida leader Osama bin Laden — were believed in hiding. The attack, part of a recent spike in American drone strikes on Pakistan, came as Germany said it has “concrete evidence” that at least 70 Germans have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and about a third have returned to Germany. Authorities across Europe have heightened security at airports and other travel hubs as well as at main tourist attractions following the U.S. warning of an al-Qaida-linked terror plot targeting London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals. Washington warned Americans over the weekend to use caution when traveling in Europe and imposed a curfew on some U.S. troops based in Germany. On Monday, Britain, Japan and Sweden issued warnings of their own, advising their citizens traveling in Europe to be on alert for possible terrorist attack by alQaida or other groups. Police officers with sniffer dogs patrolled subways in Britain on Monday, while soldiers and mounted police were dispatched to two major churches in Paris — Notre Dame in the heart of the city and Sacre Coeur on the Right Bank. Paramilitary troops were also seen patrolling the area around the Eiffel Tower — twice evacuated in recent weeks for unspecified threats.

“We did not know what we were getting into,” Marcia adds. “All of a sudden, we had a phone number and business cards and we were taking orders,” Melissa says. All this while she was supposed to be on “strict bed rest.” “I was so bored from bed rest,” Melissa admits. “I so needed something to do.” (For the record, Marcia would like to note that she did not know that was the case.) Since they evidently had a business, they needed a name. A friend mentioned something about the Little Red Hen, the industrious worker in the children’s story. Marcia and Melissa liked it. “We’re moms and we’re both busy,” Marcia says. “We’re always doing for everybody else,” Melissa adds. “We do all the work so you won’t have to,” Marcia says of their enterprise, which also includes custom cakes. Marcia is the head decorator, while Melissa is the head baker, although both hens do both duties. If you don’t get to OctoberTour this weekend, don’t despair. You can also find Marcia and Melissa’s cupcakes at Tastebuds in Salisbury and Dixie’s in China Grove. “They have a huge following,” says Tastebuds’ owner Kirk Knapp, who was sold on the first bunch of samples the women brought by the store. And with flavors like red velvet, triple chocolate, caramel apple, cookies and cream and green tea mango, who wouldn’t be? For the record, I would like to tell you that I did extensive research to come up with a favorite flavor. The cream cheese on the red velvet is exquisite, but the chocolate chips in the triple chocolate are delish, too. I am thinking I need to do even more research before I can be sure. The hens’ first signature flavor at OctoberTour was pumpkin pecan, which still ranks by far as the most popular flavor. Unavailable in spring and summer, it’s now back just in time for fall. Melissa and Marcia have done plenty of cupcakes — and regular cakes — for birthday parties. They came up with cocktail-inspired cupcake flavors (cosmo, mudslide, mojito) for a stock-the-bar party. They made 26 two-layer Christmas cakes for a progressive dinner last December. Their motto is “Yes we can!” And they do. This weekend, look for four-packs of cupcakes for $10. The cupcakes typically sell for $30 a dozen or $3 apiece. Some at OctoberTour will be decorated like the everpresent yellow mums. For two women who don’t have a business plan — their business meetings typically consist of making to-do lists — they do have a vision. “We would love to have our own place,” Marcia says. For now, the Two Red Hens do most of their work after their children are in bed. Marcia and husband Kent have a daughter, Sadie, 6, while Melissa and husband Alex have Jack, 6, Lucy, 4, and Georgia, 9 months. Sadie and Jack are classmates, which is how the hens met. “What we’re doing is working,” Marcia says. “We set manageable goals,” Melissa adds. After OctoberTour, the two decided they want to try the business for at least a year. That goal now accomplished, Melissa says, “We’re going full steam ahead.” Most of their business comes from Facebook, where you can become a fan of Two Red Hens. The hens post updates whenever they deliver to Dixie’s or Tastebuds. “Kirk has been a great asset for us,” Melissa adds. “They understand customer service,” Kirk notes. Melissa says she never dreamed someone would come up to her and say, “You’re one of the hens!” but she and Marcia are thrilled when someone does. So you can say “Not I!” when it’s time to bake cupcakes, but then you can enjoy the fruits of the duo’s industriousness. You can contact Two Red Hens on Facebook, by e-mail at tworedhens@gmail.com or call 704-213-7023.

THE CREEPER TRAIL

Celebrating wildlife at Pigeon Forge

Ease is the word on 18-mile Virginia ride BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

AMASCUS, Va. — Grit is good. The Virginia Creeper Trail is a 34mile route stretching from Whitetop to Abingdon, Va. It’s about three hours from Salisbury. The more popular section of the trail runs from Whitetop to Damascus, because it’s all downhill. Once you pass the charming little town of Damascus, you’ve got to pedal a bit. Mostly known for biking, the former rail bed also accommodates hikers and horseback riders. It’s a pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon. The first section of the trail takes about 2 1⁄2 hours to complete. That’s a comfortable pace, according to Tuesday Pope, town clerk for the town of Damascus. The jaunt includes a stop at the Creeper Trail Café halfway down. A large sign out front proclaims the spot home of the world’s best chocolate cake. If it’s not the best, it’s pretty dang close. Washed down with a tall glass of 2 percent milk, the three-layer confection will carry you through the rest of the trail with ease. Ease is the byword on the trail. There’s no need to feel intimidated about an 18-mile ride. With not much pedaling to do, anyone who can balance a bike can do the trail — from kids still on training wheels to senior bikers. If you’re prone to motion sickness, the hardest part of the trail might be the ride up. Several outfitters in town rent bikes and equipment, then carry riders up a 35-minute route to the top of Whitetop Mountain. It’s your typical curvy mountain road. You can ask to sit up front if this makes you queasy. If you have motion sickness bands, you might want to pop them on your wrists. You won’t have any trouble with the van ride. Another word about comfort: even in early August — when I rode the trail — morning temperatures can be chilly atop the mountain. Layering is key to a comfortable trip down the trail farther into the fall season. If you already do a lot of biking, you probably have appropriate performance wear in shirts and jackets. It’s a good idea to wear at least two layers. (I threw on a longsleeved T-shirt over short sleeves and shorts at the last minute, and was glad I did.) Since the ride is all downhill, you can get up a pretty good speed on the bike. Once you leave Whitetop Station, all you have to do is enjoy the ride. The trail is open year-round, so you have all seasons in which to enjoy its natural beauty. Pope says that October is the most popular month to ride the trail. “It’s the very best month of all,” she says, because of the changing colors of the leaves and moderate temperatures It’s a sure bet that once you do the trail, you’ll probably want to return. The Holston River is your constant companion, and can sometimes be swollen with whitewater much of the route. The canopy of trees provides cool shelter the majority of the way. There is rhododendron in abundance. You’ll also pass over some 32 wooden bridges. A tip: Don’t get too caught up in the scenery, or you could end up going off-road by accident. You have to pay attention to the trail because especially at the top, small rocks could cause a bike to topple if you’re not careful. As in any setting, courtesy goes a long way. Bikers must always call out to pass on the left to any slower travelers. If you can, go during the week when the trail is less crowded. You might pass a few folks here and there, but basically you’ll have it all to yourself. Overall, the trail is beautifully maintained, with plenty of rest stops along the way. About one mile from the start is Green Cove, site of a small railway station which is now a museum. The only depot left on the trail, it’s worth a quick stop to look around, even though you’ve just gotten started on the

the picturesque and beautifully maintained trail has plenty of rest stops along the way.

Pigeon Forge, Tenn., has pegged Jan. 8-15, 2011, for Wilderness Wildlife Week, the resort community’s annual salute to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and many outdoor-oriented topics. New for 2011 is an all-day concentration on outdoor photography called “The Smokies Through the Lens” on Jan. 15. Several seminars aimed at all skill levels are planned, and topics will include equipment, shooting techniques and editing. Other photography instruction classes and numerous photo showcases will occur throughout the week. Other special programming includes: • AppalachiaFest — A musical celebration of mountain music and dancing (audience participation encouraged) featuring several bands on Jan. 11. • Cade Cove Memories — Five special programs on Jan. 15 organized by the Cades Cove Preservation Association that will focus on this popular portion of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This will be the 21st year for Wilderness Wildlife Week, an eight-day extravaganza of seminars, workshops, photography classes, hikes and excursions. It is a project of the city of Pigeon Forge, the largest of the national park’s gateway communities, and is a major part of the four-month-long Pigeon Forge Winterfest season. More than 150 experts—nature photographers, biologists, raptor rehabilitators, social historians and just plain folks who grew up in the Smokies—donate their time to present daily programs and a range of outdoor activities. Admission is free to all activities. Topics include bears in the Smokies, the elk reintroduction project, the Smokies’ logging history, fire towers in the Smokies, photography, trout fishing, fly-casting and birding by ear. Several programs are designed especially for children. Almost 50 hikes and excursions — including a llama trek — into the national park complement the indoor programs.

Bridges are an integral part of the trail. You’ll pass over some 32 wooden ones along the way.

Virginia Creeper Trail The Virginia Creeper Trail is open yearround, although the most popular time of year to ride is October.

ride. You probably wouldn’t want to ride the trail in the rain, and if your ride takes place a day or two after a rain, be prepared for mud. The sturdy bikes handle well in the muck — it’s just that the spray tends to fly up on your back and into your hair. But as the guys at the bike shop say, a little dirt is good for you. You can ride your own bike of course, but you’d have to have someone to ferry you up to the trail head and then wait for you to ride down. Several bike shops in Damascus make it simple just to come into town, pick out a bike (fitted according to height), jump on the shuttle and hit the trail. If you’d like, you can choose a Damascus bed and breakfast to stay in the night before you be-

gin your journey in the morning. There are several from which to choose. You could also stay in Boone, a little more than 45 minutes away. Shuttles run throughout the day, leaving on the hour or half hour, depending which service you use, typically from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cost for bike rental and shuttle service is around $24. Damascus is a quiet town, so if you go the night before and you’re interested in a bit of night life, you’ll want to drive over to neighboring Abingdon and perhaps take in a play at their Barter Theatre. It’s easy to overuse the word “charming” in this area but historic Abingdon is just that. There are dozens of cute shops to poke around in if you want to take the time. If you’re only along for the ride — the bike ride, that is — you could do the trail as a day trip, albeit a long day. You won’t be tired when you finish the trail. You’ll feel refreshed by the cool mountain breezes and the sound of the rushing river. It can a meditative, contemplative experience. Just keep your eyes on the trail. And enjoy that slice of chocolate cake midway down. Freelance writer Susan Shinn lives in Salisbury.

Now is the time to start picking up black walnuts. Some people can even pick up a little extra cash. Starting Oct. 1, black walnuts are worth $11 per hundred pounds (after hulling) for ambitious individuals and fundraising groups who gather the greenish hulls and sell them at over 200 hulling sites in 12 Midwest states. October is Black Walnut Month in celebration of the harvest and the array of foods enhanced by the nuts — from cakes, pies, cookies, pancakes and fruit crisp to pork loin and wild rice. Unlike traditional English walnuts, the black walnut is a wild nut that is natural and highly sustainable. For recipes, visit www.blackwalnutrecipes.com. Every fall, thousands of people participate in the black walnut harvest, earning extra money for nonprofit groups, Christmas gifts, or just a little bonus income. Black walnuts that grow wild are harvested by hand before being bagged for Hammons Products Company of Stockton, Mo. “The black walnut harvest is an annual tradition for many families,” says Brian Hammons, third-generation company president. “Today there is more interest than ever in black walnuts because they are a wild, natural crop and people are looking for unique ingredients. In fact, the trend inspired our new theme, ‘Taste the Wild Side of the Walnut Family.’ ” Find hullers at www. black-walnuts.com or 1-888-4BW-NUTS.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan has an interactive mapping tool for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. The state Department of Natural Resources and Environment says Mi-HUNT can help people plan their trips. It allows users to view and navigate through Michigan public lands that are open to hunting and trapping. People may look at vegetation types; topography; and recreational facilities such as campgrounds, trails and boat launches. There’s also aerial photography, street maps and directions. Mi-HUNT is funded by a grant from the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

The State Journal in Charleston reports that the Potomac Conservancy gave a petition to Virginia Rep. James P. Moran last week containing more than 5,000 signatures. The petition seeks funding for a three-year study to determine the causes of intersex fish. It also proposes a study of the effects of endocrine disrupting compounds on human health. The petition is part of the conservancy’s “Fish Mystery” campaign to draw attention to the problem. A 2008 study found as many as 77 percent of male smallmouth bass in the South Branch of the Potomac had started to produce eggs.

Dry conditions prompt burn ban in Louisiana BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — State Fire Marshal Butch Browning and Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain have issued a cease and desist order against all private, outdoor burning. The Times reports the extremely dry conditions throughout the state prompted the burn ban, which went into effect on Sunday. According to a news release, the order allows private burning only with the permission of the local fire department or local government. The ban also does not apply to prescribed burns by Agriculture and Forestry, those trained and certified by the department and those who conduct prescribed burning as an accepted agriculture practice.

Tenn. city celebrates RiverRocks Outdoor Festival CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Chattanooga is holding a celebration of the outdoors and healthy lifestyles. RiverRocks festival activities in the Chattanooga area continue through Oct. 10 and some proceeds will benefit land trusts and conservation groups. A promotion statement says the more than 90 events include rock climbing, trail running, kayaking, rowing, cycling, offroad biking, hiking and hang gliding for both expert and novice competitors. Live music, hot air balloons and river cruises are also on the lineup. Organizers plan to redistribute 50 cents of every dollar collected by RiverRocks to nonprofit trusts and conservancies in the Tennessee Valley.

Panther hit by car, killed in southwest Fla. OCHOPEE, Fla. (AP) — A 3-year-old panther has died after being hit by a car in southwest Florida. The body of the female panther was found Friday on Ochopee. It’s the 15th panther to die this year. The remains will be sent to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Wildlife Research Lab in Gainesville for necropsy.

Burn permits to be required for West Tennessee NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — State forestry officials will require permits for burning in West Tennessee effective Monday. They cited higher than normal wildfire danger Friday in announcing the restriction. Permits will be required before conducting any outdoor, open burning of debris within 500 feet of woodlands, grasslands or forestlands. Typically, burning permits are not required by the state Division of Forestry except during official fire season, which runs Oct. 15 through May 15 each year. However, under state law the State Forester can designate other periods for requiring burning permits. Activities requiring a permit include, but are not limited to, unconfined outdoor burning of brush and leaves, untreated wood waste and burning to clear land.

regulate hunting and fishing. The measures also affect laws regarding private property, eminent domain or firearms. Ten states already have the right to hunt and fish in their constitution, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Vermont’s is the oldest, dating to 1777. Measures like Arkansas’ has prompted skepticism among animal rights groups, but not much public opposition. “If we have the right to hunt and trap, then what’s next? The right to shop or golf?” said Lindsay Rajt, manager of the campaign department for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Rajt said PETA views the proposed amendment as unnecessary, but said her group isn’t actively campaigning against the proposal. Rajt said she’s more concerned about the message it would send to other groups. “It could open the door to other amendments whose only purpose would be to make political statements for interest groups,” Rajt said. “It’s a solution in search of a problem.” Officials with the Humane Society of the United States echoed the sentiment, saying they typically don’t campaign against measures like Arkansas’ proposal. No group has organized to advocate for or against the measure. Faris said he doesn’t plan on organizing any campaign for the proposal, though he says he’s willing to speak on its behalf.

Ark. voters asked to protect hunting, fishing rights LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Hunting and fishing is a way of life in much of Arkansas, and a measure on the November ballot will try to make it a right enshrined in the state’s constitution as well. Arkansas is one of four states where voters will be asked to protect hunting and fishing rights. A proposed amendment on the state’s ballot would make hunting, fishing, trapping and harvesting wildlife a constitutionally protected right. Arizona, South Carolina and Tennessee have similar measures on the ballot this fall. Kentucky plans a vote in 2012. The Arkansas proposal is one of three that were referred to voters by the Legislature last year, and its chief backer said he was motivated by what he saw as attempts by animal rights groups to restrict hunting in other states. State Sen. Steve Faris, who advocated the measure before the Legislature last year, said he sees the proposal as something to complement Amendment 35, which gave the state Game and Fish Commission regulatory power. “Outdoor activity and tourism and hunting and fishing are a bit part of the draw to the state of Arkansas and also a big part of the lives of people who are here,” Faris said. “We put that in there to protect those various things. This just takes it a step further.” The proposal, however, won’t change the Game and Fish Commission’s ability to

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is going well,â&#x20AC;? remarked New Yorker editor David Remnick to his audience at a weekend panel on the tea party movement. He was being sarcastic. The hostility was escalating between former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, and Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. The banter became so tense that even-tempered historian Jill Lepore, sitting between them, suggested she leave so the men could arm-wrestle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make me come over there and beat you down,â&#x20AC;? Remnick warned his panelists. In other words, it was a perfect Saturday morning for New Yorker fans, who, in an annual autumn rite, gorge on juicy events like these at the threeday New Yorker festival. The tea party panel was one of several offerings linked to current news events. Another was a showing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Social Network,â&#x20AC;? the popular new film about Facebook, with a panel afterward that included Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, who play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Napster founder Sean Parker. New Yorker fans are loyal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 80 percent of festival tickets sold out on the very first day, the magazine said. That was more tickets than were sold to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival in its entirety. As always, there were offerings catering to more highbrow tastes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; forums on fiction, a visit to the Frick museum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a strong celebrity contingent, with appearances by Alec Baldwin, Steve Carell, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Taylor and the cast of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Live.â&#x20AC;? And for those hard-core fans whose celebrities happen to be their favorite New Yorker writers, there was a storytelling evening featuring five of them, including the much-loved Calvin Trillin, who told the tale of his efforts to get salty language past the stubbornly reluctant former editor of the magazine, William Shawn. The SNL cast members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson and Kristen Wiig â&#x20AC;&#x201D; recounted their first, nerve-wracking auditions for the show, and pondered the eternal question of how the show has survived since 1975. Consensus: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always new material out there. As for Carell, he recounted how he was such an unknown when he did the film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruce Almightyâ&#x20AC;? that an agent contacted him to find out who was representing him. Turned out, her own agency did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was such a low priority at the agency that even the agents who worked there didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I was a client,â&#x20AC;? he said. Carell also discussed the imminent end to his tenure on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he leaves after the current season, his seventh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some of his future goals. One of them, he said, is to play an even more unappealing guy than Michael Scott of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Office.â&#x20AC;?

Dear Teen: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say much about this boy, but it is obvious that he either isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reading your signals and cues or he is reading your cues but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. His behavior is alarming, and he may be taking advantage of your politeness. You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about being mean. You should instead focus on being understood. Take this issue to a trusted adult â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your folks and/or your school counselor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right away. Say exactly what is going on, how long it has been going on and how it makes you feel. Ask for help in getting him to stop. If you have any written evidence of his attempts to contact you, print it out. You should avoid him. But if he approaches you in the meantime, say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to contact me, OK? Please respect that.â&#x20AC;?

a friend of a friend wants to do research in East Asia and is applying for a grant. Because I am very familiar with this grant and used to advise applicants on grant proposals, my friend provided this woman with my e-mail address. She sent her application and asked for advice. I wrote a lengthy response, gave her some helpful tips about the application process and provided feedback on her proposal. She never responded. I would appreciate a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? e-mail from her, but I would also like her to know that her lack of response was rude. She is a college student. Should I write to her? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grant Me Respect

Dear Amy: I am a high school girl with a problem. All last year, a guy in my grade, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al,â&#x20AC;? had a crush on me.

Now Al is starting to really bother me. He seems very innocent and nice, and I think he is, but his infatuation with me is getting the better of him. He e-mailed and messaged me on Facebook so many times over the summer that I actually ended up â&#x20AC;&#x153;blockingâ&#x20AC;? him.

Information on sickle-cell anemia Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to express my opinion about your recent article on growing pains. The lady stated that her grandson would awaken crying with severe pain in his wrists, ankles, knees and hands. These could DR. PETER be the result of growing GOTT pains or of sickle-cell disease. I was the mother of a child with sickle cell for 30 years. I remember, as a 24-year-old parent, my 6-month-old baby waking up crying in pain. The doctors could not find anything wrong until I asked them to test him for sickle cell. They found that he was in a sickle-cell crisis. Since this is a hereditary disease found mostly in AfricanAmericans and some Latinos, you should have asked the grandmother about her nationality. I lost my child at the age of 30. I hope this can help save the lives of children who may be affected. Dear reader: Sickle-cell anemia is an inherited condition that causes abnormal red blood cells (RBCs). Those with the disorder produce inadequate amounts of healthy RBCs, which are round, flexible and move easily through the vessels. They also produce RBCs that are rigid, sticky and shaped like crescent moons or sickles (hence the name). These abnormal cells do not flow easily through the body

and often get stuck in small vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body. In order to have a child with sickle-cell anemia, both parents need to have the abnormal gene that causes it to develop. The child must then inherit this gene from both parents. Each parent is a carrier and produces both normal and sickle-cell types of hemoglobin and may even produce some sickle cells in their own blood but do not typically develop symptoms. Carriers of the gene have a 50 percent chance of having a child who is a carrier and a 25 percent chance of having a child who is either totally unaffected or who has sickle-cell anemia. There are several other variations of these statistics based on genetics; therefore, it is important for those who may be carriers to undergo genetic testing in order to weigh the risks to any unborn child. The condition most commonly occurs in those of African, Spanish, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indian ancestry. Symptoms of sickle cell include anemia (low levels of RBCs and hemoglobin), jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), delayed growth, frequent infection, hand-foot syndrome (swelling of the hands and feet), visual problems and episodes of pain, also known as sickle-cell crises. Complications include gallstones, pulmonary hypertension, acute chest syndrome, stroke, organ damage, skin ulcers and priapism.

There is no certain cure, but there is a potential for one with bone-marrow transplant; however, finding a matching donor is difficult, and the procedure itself carries serious, even life-threatening, risks. Treatment options include antibiotics for children, pain relievers during crises and hydroxyurea, a cancer-treatment drug that may be beneficial to those with severe disease. Some people also benefit from red-blood-cell transfusions and supplemental oxygen therapy. It is also important to assess and monitor stroke risk. Several experimental treatments currently being studied may bring new hope. These include gene therapy, nitric oxide, butyric acid, Nicosan and clotrimazole. Home care includes stress reduction, remaining hydrated, eating a balanced diet, supplemental folic acid, avoiding extreme temperatures and high altitudes and more. The only sure way for carriers to prevent having a child with sickle-cell anemia is not to have children. There is a type of in-vitro fertilization that can prevent it; however, it is expensive and not guaranteed. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Bridge hand: The bidding tells you everything BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Oscar Wilde said, “I am not young enough to know everything.” Whatever your age, let’s see if you can work out everything in today’s deal. Look at only the West hand. South opens one heart; you pass; North responds two clubs, natural and gameforcing; East passes; South raises to three clubs; North rebids three hearts; and South settles into four hearts. Do you feel called upon to do anything positive? What would you lead? Two-over-one game-force makes life easier for North with a hand like that. Without being able to make lowlevel forcing bids, North would be tempted to launch Blackwood. But a lack of aces should always make one circumspect. If two aces are missing, it is nice to stop at the four-level. And if South has three aces, he will know that he has a slam-positive hand. You know partner has at most one club and at least two trumps. You can see how to defeat the contract, so it is tempting to double. Wait, though — might the opponents take the hint and run to a makable contract? If they choose five clubs, you can defeat that. However, what about four no-trump? You cannot guarantee stopping an overtrick in that contract. So you should pass. Now, though, you know to lead the club ace. But what about trick two?

When you give partner a ruff, the card you lead tells him where your entry lies. Here, you want partner to shift to a spade, not to a diamond. So lead your highest club, the seven. The play goes: club ace, club ruff, spade to the ace, club ruff for down one.

Rapper T.I. to return to federal court Oct. 15 ATLANTA (AP) — Rapper T.I. is headed back to federal court in Atlanta next week to explain why his probation shouldn’t be revoked after his recent arrest in Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. has set the hearing for 2 p.m. on Oct. 15 for T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris. The same judge sentenced Harris for firearms violations. An earlier summons signed by Pannell lists three possible violations of his bond: possession of the drug ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s officials say the Grammy award-winning rapper was stopped Sept. 1 on a Hollywood street after making an illegal U-turn. Police say they found several pills confirmed to be a controlled substance.

CHAPEL HILL — With the North Carolina football program being investigated by the NCAA and fighting to salvage its season, coach Butch Davis said he is “sorry” he trusted former assistant John Blake. An NCAA probe of improper benefits and possible academic misconduct has jeopardized several players’ college careers and damaged the university’s reputation. Davis had finally heard enough about Blake on Monday. He publicly criticized his

former associate head coach and recruiting coordinator’s “inappropriate” relationship with agent BLAKE G a r y Wichard. “I am very sorry that all of this stuff has tainted the football program and, as the head football coach, I take a tremendous amount of responsibility for all the footballrelated issues,” Davis said.

Clausen making progress

UNC coach ‘sorry’ he trusted Blake BY AARON BEARD

TUESDAY

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Jimmy Clausen was better. There were no bobbled snaps, he threw his first NFL touchdown pass and the Carolina Panthers doubled their offensive output from a week earlier. It just wasn’t enough to produce that elusive first win. And the chaotic, failed final drive in New Orleans Sunday that included gaffes with clock management, communication and blitz recognition provided painful lessons for the Carolina rookie. This NFL quarterback thing isn’t easy. “There was a lot of stuff that was happening,” coach John Fox said MonassoCiated press day. “Guys not lined up right, not getpanthers quarterback Jimmy Clausen (2) ting the call. You’ve got a lot of young throws past saints defensive end Will smith. people out there.”

Waltrip defends his driver

In his second start, the former Notre Dame standout was close to engineering one of the league’s biggest surprises this season. Trailing 16-14 with 3:50 left, Clausen nearly put the Panthers in position for a possible game-winning field goal. On fourthand-4 from his own 46, he kept a busted play alive and threw a perfect pass to rookie David Gettis for 16 yards. After DeAngelo Williams gained 2 yards on the next play, the Panthers were at the Saints 36 and at the edge of kicker John Kasay’s range. “Get 3 yards in three downs and have an attempt at kicking the winning field goal,” Fox said. One play changed everything. Williams, who had a 39-yard touchdown on a cutback run earlier in the game, tried the move again.

CHARLOTTE — Michael Waltrip defended driver David Reutimann on Monday for intentionally wrecking championship contender Kyle Busch. the But owner of Michael Waltrip Racing found himself walking the fine line of supporting his employee while trying REUTIMANN not to alienate one of his team’s most important partners. Both Reutimann and Busch drive Toyotas, and Sunday’s incident at Kansas Speedway hampered the manufacturer’s chance of winning its first Sprint Cup title. “I stand behind David because his BUSCH record of sportsmanship is flawless,” Waltrip said in a statement. “It is the duty of MWR’s drivers to deliver for Toyota and our other partners, and I expect them to be treated fairly while doing so.” Reutimann was spun by Busch early in Sunday’s race in contact for which Busch took responsibility but called accidental. About 100 laps later, when Busch was running seventh, Reutimann seemed to retaliate by intentionally slamming his car into Busch’s door. The contact forced Busch to bounce off the wall. The damage caused Busch to finish 21st, and he dropped from third to seventh in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Reutimann was unapologetic after the race. “I don’t care if you’re in the Chase or not,” he said. “You need to think about who you’re running over when you’re running over them.” Waltrip said Monday that there is no difference on-track between the 12 title contenders and the 31 drivers not eligible for the championship. “There are 43 drivers on the race track each Sunday, and there is no delineation between Chase participants and non-Chase participants when it comes to respect,” he said. “Everyone at Michael Waltrip Racing is working hard to deliver great results to our owners, employees and sponsors. All organizations have a lot at stake each week as we are all measured by our performance and finishing position. “When David Reutimann’s chance to compete for a win at Kansas was taken away, it set off a series of events that have been well documented.”

Members of the atlanta Braves lift manager Bobby Cox after the team clinched a spot in the postseason. the Braves face san Francisco on thursday.

Intriguing ingredients in place BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

Start with playoff newcomers Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum. Throw in rocket-armed rookie Aroldis Chapman and retiring manager Bobby Cox. Add a dash from pickups Cliff Lee and Lance Berkman. Mix in banged-up Josh Hamilton and Evan Longoria. Sounds like a tasty October pie. With all the matchups set after Game No. 162 — no tiebreakers necessary this year — baseball launches into the postseason Wednesday. “Words can’t describe it,” San Francisco second baseman Freddy Sanchez said. “This is what I’ve played

for ever since I was a little kid.” Tampa Bay ace David Price will throw the first pitch against the Texas Rangers, the only current major league franchise that’s never won a playoff series. The afternoon opener will be played under new rules — Major League Baseball made a change Monday, saying popups that hit the two highest catwalks at Tropicana Field are now dead balls, rather than in play. Next up, the two-time defending NL champion Phillies host Cincinnati. Halladay starts Game 1 against Edinson Volquez, with Philadelphia aces Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels to follow in a formidable rotation.

The Reds are making their first postseason appearance since 1995. They rewarded manager Dusty Baker on Monday with a two-year contract extension through 2012. “I think we got here sooner than a lot of people thought — to the playoffs,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “I think a lot of it is due to Dusty’s leadership.” The World Series champion New York Yankees visit Minnesota on Wednesday night for the first postseason game at Target Field. No need to worry about playing outdoors, either — it’s supposed to be sunny with temperatures in the mid-70s this week. CC Sabathia, a workhorse through-

out the last postseason, starts against Twins lefty Francisco Liriano. After his numbers dropped this year, Derek Jeter hopes to be at his best in October, as he often is. On Thursday, the wild-card Atlanta Braves and Cox begin their bestof-five division series at San Francisco. Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, pitches for the Giants against Derek Lowe. The Giants and Braves clinched their playoff spots Sunday, eliminating San Diego. “This is what it’s all about,” Atlanta closer Billy Wagner said. “You play all year long and it comes down to the last game and you get the champagne shower.”

Wagner ends season with memorable save BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

ATLANTA — Wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, Billy Wagner had a swagger when he walked into his first spring training with the Atlanta Braves and offered a bold prediction. “If I’m able to go out there and throw 40 saves, there’s a great chance the Braves are going to the playoffs,” he said in his first day with the team. As it turned out, 37 was enough to help the Braves make their first postseason since 2005. They will face San Francisco in an NL division series beginning Thursday.

Wagner struck out the side in the ninth inning Sunday for the save in an 8-7 win over Philadelphia as the Braves earned the NL wild card. Manager Bobby Cox’s retirement after the season has been the big story in Atlanta. The 38-year-old Wagner also is calling it quits after the season, and he already has a memorable final regular-season game. Wagner notched his 422nd save, fifth on the career list and only two behind John Franco’s record 424 for left-handers. It wasn’t easy because a rocky eighth inning preceded the dominant ninth. assoCiated press

Roethlisberger returns to Steelers Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger learned this during his fourweek suspension: He’s a lousy spectator. The Steelers discovered something themselves while playing a month without their franchise quarterback: They’re 3-1, but they’re a lot better team with him. Roethlisberger returned to the Steelers on Monday. While they don’t play again until Oct. 17 against Cleveland, he quickly settled back into a routine — offensive coordinator Bruce Arians had drawn-up plays waiting for him to review. “I couldn’t wait to get here,” Roethlisberger said. While the Steelers were a halfminute away from going 4-0 before losing to Baltimore 17-14 on Sunday,

their offense wasn’t the same without the two-time Super Bowl winner. The Steelers are a much-improved No. 7 in rushing (133.5 yards per game), but they’re only 30th in passing yardage. “I’ve been saying for years now that I think we need to be a balanced team,” said Roethlisberger, who threw for a team-record 4,328 yards last season. “So I’m not trying to throw the ball 60-70 times a game. Obviously, as a quarterback, you would like that. But if we’re balanced and run and throw and do the things that we need to do effectively, we can be a dangerous football team.” Roethlisberger gained an extra week of practice when Roger Goodell trimmed his suspension from six games to four. He’ll practice for three days starting today, followed by a full pregame work week.

New England drubs Dolphins

Smith unlikely to play Sunday

Associated Press

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — If things aren’t bad enough for the NFL’s lowest scoring team, now the winless Carolina Panthers are likely without top receiver Steve Smith for at least one game. Smith was limping noticeably Monday and wearing a protective boot because of a high ankle sprain. Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, said the four-time Pro Bower “most likely” will sit out Sunday against Chicago. Smith repeated coach John Fox’s line of being “day to day” but also acknowledged his slight chances of a SMITH speedy recovery. The Panthers have a bye a week after facing the Bears. “I’m not a doctor, but if I can’t walk without a boot,” Smith said without finishing the sentence. Smith said he wasn’t feeling much better Monday. “Just trying to walk,” he said. Carolina ranks last in the NFL at 11.5 points a game. Smith has 13 catches for 174 yards and two TDs. It’s likely the Panthers will start rookies David Gettis and Brandon LaFell, at receiver Sunday. Carolina already starts rookie QB Jimmy Clausen. “It’s time for us to step up,” Gettis said. “We have to.”

New england patriots safety pat chung, right, celebrates after returning a fourth-quarter interception for a touchdown against Miami.

MIAMI — The New England Patriots rang up another big score, this time with little input from the offense. Patrick Chung blocked two kicks and returned an interception for a touchdown for New England, which scored twice on special teams to beat the hapless Miami Dolphins 41-14 on Monday night. Tom Brady threw for only 153 yards, and Randy Moss was held without a catch for the first time since 2006, but the NFL’s highest-scoring team still registered its biggest point total yet. The Patriots trailed 7-6 at halftime. When Brandon Tate (North Carolina) returned the second half kickoff 103 yards for a score, the deluge was on. Chung blocked a punt to set up a touchdown, then blocked a field goal that Kyle Arrington returned 35 yards for a score. Chung returned an interception 51 yards for New England’s final score. Linebacker Rob Ninkovich, who had the first two interceptions of his five-year career, and reserve fullback Danny Woodhead had an 11-yard TD reception.

N.C. State refocuses after loss

CLAUSEN FroM 1c

BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

RALEIGH — N.C. State’s hot start is history. The Wolfpack’s national ranking slipped away, too — right along with a huge lead. For the first time this year, N.C. State’s humbled team is getting a lesson in dealing with adversity. That presents a new challenge this week: Turning the focus to Boston College and putting last week’s demoralizing loss to Virginia Tech in the past. The Wolfpack (4-1, 1-1 ACC) can’t afford to dwell on its first defeat or the agonizing way it happened, allowing a 17-point lead to evaporate in a mistakefilled second half. “We all needed to feel the defeat, the taste, and I think we’re ready to get back to work now,” receiver Darrell Davis said Monday. “We’ve been winning this whole time, and you kind of need to feel that so you can get back to work and not feel complacent. You get kind of greedy. You don’t work as hard.” At least for now, the Wolfpack is free of a few distractions: The 4-0 start was its best since the 2002 team won its first eight games. N.C. State sneaked into the polls at No. 23 for the first time since ’03. And it became the talk of the ACC as its last remaining unbeaten team. That’s all gone now, having been swept away in a second-half flurry in which Virginia Tech wiped out a 17-0 deficit by scoring 34 points, coming away with touchdowns on five of seven possessions and reeling off 13 points in final 90 seconds.

N.c. state coach tom o’Brien reacts to a call against Virginia tech. the Wolfpack faces Boston college this weekend.

That turned a late two-point lead into a 41-30 setback. Coach Tom O’Brien doesn’t seem too concerned that the loss will linger, saying that by Sunday’s practice, his players appeared to have moved on. “It doesn’t stay with them long,” he said. “Youth is a wonderful thing. They forget things fast.” But of greater importance is that they learned some things they can apply, starting with this week’s visit from the Eagles in an Atlantic Division matchup. O’Brien wants to take care of the shoddy tackling and fundamental defensive errors that allowed the Hokies to move the ball, calling it “shades of last year” — when the Wolfpack had one of the ACC’s worst defenses. And there’s no doubt he wants the offense to take better care of the ball in crucial situations. Russell Wilson threw three interceptions: one in the end zone when the Wolfpack could have gone back up by 17, and another on the first play that followed Tech’s go-ahead touchdown. If nothing else, the players seem to have put things in perspective already. The division remains wide open — No. 23 Florida State, the only ranked team from that half of the ACC, still must come to Raleigh later this month — and most of the team’s preseason goals remain intact. “Our leadership this year is better, and as a team, we’re a little bit more (of a) closer-knit group,” safety Brandan Bishop said. “So I think we’re going to handle this loss. It’s only one loss, but I think we’re going to handle it and bounce back.”

bles escalated. North Carolina (2-2) started the year ranked among the Top 25 with hopes of contending for the ACC title, but its roster is seemingly in flux every week. Starting safety Da’Norris Searcy was cleared to return last week after missing the first three games, and he returned an interception for a touchdown in the win against East Carolina. Fellow safety Deunta Williams returns this week against Clemson after

serving a four-game suspension for improper benefits connected to trips, while cornerback Kendric Burney is serving a six-game suspension. The status of Austin and eight other players still being held out remains in question. “It’s been going on for so long, I think everybody’s kind of used to it,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “We can kind of block it out now because nobody pays attention to all the speculation.”

“I’m the head guy, OK? I’m sorry it has affected the football program. But I’m going to tell you what I’m more sorry about: I’m sorry that I trusted John Blake.” And though Blake resigned Sept. 5 after his longtime friendship with Wichard came into question amid the NCAA probe, the questions continued Monday. Davis’ comments came after ESPN and Yahoo! Sports, citing unnamed sources, reported that Alabama defensive lineman Marcell Dareus told NCAA investigators that Blake had recommended Wichard in a phone conversation. William H. Beaver II, one of Blake’s attorneys, acknowledged that Blake had had discussions with Dareus but said that the Crimson Tide standout called Blake to talk about a family illness and to say that agents had approached him. Beaver said that Blake had maintained a relationship with Dareus, but Beaver did not say how many times the two spoke or exactly what was said. “John has testified that he has not functioned in a manner to funnel, push, direct any athlete toward Gary Wichard,” Beaver said. “He has testified to that and provided statements to the NCAA in that manner, in those words. “Whatever Mr. Dareus took from their conversation, I don’t know that anyone can disabuse him of that notion, but that doesn’t make him right.” Last week, Blake’s attorneys confirmed that their client had received several loans from Wichard that they described as one friend help-

“I can promise you and tell you that if we would’ve ever known that any of these allegations were absolutely true, Coach Blake would’ve been dismissed. I would’ve fired him.” Davis coached Blake in high school, and the two men worked together with the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys under Jimmy Johnson. Blake was fired after three seasons as head coach at Oklahoma in 1998, when his attorneys said was when his financial trou-

ing another through financial trouble. But after saying that the last of the transcations came about three years ago, the attorneys reversed themselves Monday, saying Wichard had loaned money to Blake once in 2008 and twice more in 2009. They said the money was to pay for the private school tuition for Blake’s teenage son, who is Wichard’s godson. Wichard is scheduled to meet this week with the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office as it continues a separate investigation into whether the state’s sports agent laws have been broken. That office has already interviewed Blake, Tar Heels defensive tackle Marvin Austin — who was at the center of the NCAA’s initial agents focus — and former UNC player Kentwan Balmer, a Wichard client. Howard Silber, Wichard’s attorney, said his client will provide “all financial records between himself and John Blake” when he is interviewed, but Silber wouldn’t comment further. Davis has denied knowing the extent of the BlakeWichard relationship, saying last week there was “no cause for concern” when he hired Blake shortly after taking over in Chapel Hill in late 2006. But the school said it learned of the financial transactions when Blake met with NCAA investigators on Aug. 31, leading to Blake’s resignation less than a week later. “There’s a lot of things that are alleged, that are out there, that I can’t begin to tell you whether they are true or not true,” Davis said. “What I can tell you is I have told our coaching staff repeatedly over the last three seasons: Do not get involved with coaches to players to agents. Do not recommend anybody to anyone.

BLAKE

This time he was stuffed by Usama Young for a 4-yard loss, dropping the Panthers out of field goal range. Suddenly the Panthers had to pass as they faced earsplitting noise at the Superdome. “We were trying to go in and out of personnel groups and it was loud. We really couldn’t hear anything through the headsets,” Clausen said. “We were trying to signal it. It wasn’t the greatest communication we’d like to have.” It didn’t help that Clausen’s only reliable target and nonrookie receiver, Steve Smith, was sidelined in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle. The play clock was nearing zero when Clausen finally dropped back and was slow to pick up a blitz. Malcolm Jenkins took him down for another 4-yard loss. “I would have liked a completion for a touchdown. I think Jimmy would have, too,” Fox said. “I would have liked completion for a first down. I think Jimmy would have, too. I liked the sack better than an interception. When you’re out there playing NFL football, sometimes it’s the next-best thing.” Now the Panthers faced desperation, fourth-and-16 from the 44 with less than a minute left. But because of more confusion, the team huddled instead of going into the hurry-up offense. Clausen’s pass intended for Dwayne Jarrett may not have been a first down if it was caught. It didn’t matter because Clausen wasted nearly 40 seconds before taking the snap and Jarrett would’ve been tackled inbounds to end the game. “I think when the ball was snapped there were 8 seconds left,” Fox said. “What we needed was a miracle.” Instead, the Panthers (0-4) are off to their worst start since 1998 as they try to speed up Clausen’s maturation. He went 11 of 21 for 146 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Stewart. He had no interceptions and no fumbles. In his starting debut a week earlier, Clausen was part of three turnovers in a 20-7 loss to Cincinnati. “I thought it was a great play he made on fourth-and4,” Fox said. “I thought he made some decent throws. I’m sure there are some we’d like to have back and he’d like to have back. I thought his performance was better this week than it was a week ago.” Still, there’s much to be learned. Not only was there confusion at the end, but the Panthers called two timeouts before their fourth play from scrimmage because of communication issues and a defective headset. Clausen won’t have to worry about an opposing crowd Sunday when Julius Peppers returns to Carolina with Chicago (3-1). But Clausen will likely be without his main target, Smith. That would leave a rookie quarterback throwing to as many as three rookie receivers. “Going into an environment like that, playing under those circumstances against the defending world champs,” Clausen said, “it’s only going to make us get better quicker.”

Mahan learns yin, yang of Ryder Cup BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

NEWPORT, Wales — Hunter Mahan kept searching for the words. All he could muster were tears. From the ecstasy of Valhalla to the despondency of Celtic Manor, Mahan was the unmistakable face of an American team that came so close pulling off an improbable comeback, only to hand the Ryder Cup back to the Europeans on Monday. Mahan asked to be in the last singles match, asked to have the pressure of the anchor spot put squarely on his shoulders. At the end, the blondehaired Texan got exactly what he wanted: the match that would decide who got the cup. Only it didn’t go as planned. Instead of the cheers Mahan heard two years ago as one of the stars of a U.S. triumph, he tasted the bitterest of defeats, his last hurrah ending at No. 17 with a short tee shot, a flubbed chip and a putt from off the green that wasn’t even close. Mahan didn’t bother making Graeme McDowell putt out, shaking hands with the Northern Irishman, then clearing out of the way so the Europeans could begin their celebration right there on the 17th green. The Americans lost 141⁄2-131⁄2. Mahan took the blame, as unfair as that is in a team competition that played out over 28 matches and four days. “He just beat me today,” Mahan said, struggling to keep his composure. When he joined his teammates in the interview room, his anguish was apparent. They patted Mahan on the back, trying to prop him up. They praised him for his courage and tried shifting the blame to other points lost. He kept rubbing his eyes, trying desperately to keep from breaking down for all the world to see. “I’m just proud to be a part of this team,” Mahan said. “It’s a close team, and ... “ That’s about all he could say. His teammates spoke for him. “We are all proud to be part of this team,” Phil Mickelson chimed in, giving Mahan a gentle slap on the shoulder. “We came within half a point. But we could look anywhere throughout those 28 points for that half a point.” Asked how it felt to know the entire match hinged on his one-on-one with McDowell, Mahan teared up again.

Officer’s first case is appeal

And Mickelson ran interference again. “Let’s go to another one. Yes, in the blue back there,” Lefty said, pointing to a reporter on the other side of the room. Clearly, others MAHAN contributed to this defeat. Stewart Cink? He played in one of the earliest singles matches against Rory McIlroy. The American had the lead until he three-putted the 15th. Then he missed a little 6-footer at the 17th to reclaim the lead, and a 15-footer at the end that still would have won the match. If Cink had taken a full point for the Americans, it would have been 14-14 — and the tie goes to the defending champion. Mickelson? He lost all three of his team matches, giving him more career defeats than any other U.S. Ryder Cup player, before an easy singles win against Peter Hanson. “If you go up and down the line of the tour players in Europe and the U.S. and asked them if they would like to be the last guy to decide the Ryder Cup, probably less than half would say they would like to be that guy and probably less than 10 percent of them would mean it,” Cink said. “Hunter Mahan put himself in that position today. He was the man on our team, to put himself in that position. Hunter Mahan performed like a champ out there today. I think it’s awesome. Not many players would do that.” Mahan was the only American to go unbeaten in 2008, playing all five sessions as a rookie and gaining a new appreciation for an event that he had criticized as nothing more than a money-making machine. His signature moment came in singles, where he banged in a 60-foot birdie putt at the 17th and wound up halving a match with Paul Casey that gave the Americans a huge boost on the final day. And now, Mahan knows how it felt to be Casey — only much, much worse. “The Ryder Cup brings stuff out of you that you didn’t know you had, from an emotional sense, from a golf sense,” he said. “It’s a great learning experience. I’ll take a lot from it. I’m disappointed now, but it’s not something I’m going to be disappointed with for long.”

Europe holds on BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

NEWPORT, Wales — The pressure was more than Graeme McDowell wanted. The heartbreak was more than Hunter Mahan could handle. The longest Ryder Cup in history came down to the very last match Monday at Celtic Manor, exposing the rawest emotions found in golf and delivering a moment that defines a career — even for a U.S. Open champion. Clinging to a 1-up lead with three holes to play, with Europe needing his match to reclaim the precious gold trophy, McDowell gently sent his 15-foot putt toward the cup and set off a ground-shaking roar when it dropped for birdie. “The best putt I’ve hit in my life,” McDowell said. One hole later, Mahan was well short on the par-3 17th, flubbed a chip and conceded a par to McDowell that gave Europe the 141⁄2 points it needed to take back the cup. It was the first time since 1991 that the Ryder Cup was decided by the final singles match, a thriller made possible by big wins from America’s best players and a stunning comeback by 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler. Leave it to McDowell to cap off a great year — for himself in the U.S. Open, for all of Europe in the Ryder Cup. McDowell could barely keep his hands steady on his 6-iron from 181 yards to hit the shot at the 16th hole. And he couldn’t hold back his emo-

tions on the 17th, when the match ended with his 3-and-1 victory. Neither could Mahan. “That birdie on 16 was huge,” Mahan said, fighting back tears. “He beat me.” That was all he could say before bowing his head. This, from the player who delivered the most crucial putt two years ago Valhalla in a U.S. victory. Such a heart-stopping finish salvaged what had been a drab week at the Ryder Cup, with two big rain delays that forced a revamped schedule and led to the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history. Under a beautiful blue sky in Wales, all was forgotten. Memories of mud and umbrellas were replaced by Fowler winning the last three holes with birdies to escape with a half-point, Tiger Woods holing out from the fairway for eagle and not even knowing it, Miguel Angel Jimenez finally playing a Ryder Cup on home soil and winning a singles match for the first time. Ultimately, this was about team — and Europe was the best again. “We’ve won nine of the last 13,” Luke Donald said. “We’re starting to get down to that word ‘dominance.’ ” European captain Colin Montgomerie is renowned for a career missing only a major. This felt like one, maybe even better. “This is one of the finest moments of my golfing — wait a minute — this IS the greatest moment of my golfing career,” he said.

“What do you think?” he said. “It just got tight.” Reutimann made it clear he doesn’t care for Kyle Busch in August after Busch said Reutimann didn’t know the proper way to drive around Bristol. The comments came after Busch beat Reutimann, who over-

CHARLOTTE — John Middlebrook probably didn’t expect to become the central figure in a drama with championship implications when he agreed to become NASCAR’s chief appellate officer. He’d yet to be called upon since his appointment in February to the position that’s selected by NASCAR’s board of directors and draws a salary of a whopping $1 per year. Now he’s finally got a case, and it’s a doozy. Middlebrook will be the judge and jury today in Richard Childress Racing’s last avenue to have the penalty against Clint Bowyer overturned. NASCAR docked Bowyer 150 points because the car he drove to victory Sept. 19 at New Hampshire failed inspection, and a threemember appeals panel last week upheld the penalty. “I bet he never thought he’d even get a case when he agreed to take the job,” joked Jimmy Makar, vice president of Joe Gibbs Racing. Middlebrook, who retired after 49 years with General Motors in 2008, was handpicked before this season to replace Charles Strang, who held the position of NASCAR’s “National Commissioner” for as long as anyone can remember. There’s a public perception that Middlebrook will do nothing more than rubberstamp NASCAR’s ruling. “I’ve told Richard it’s not worth fighting,” Bowyer said. “In my opinion, their minds are made up.” Of the 133 appeals heard since 1999, the three-member panel upheld 89, including Bowyer’s. Of the 133, only 12 advanced to Strang. He upheld eight, reduced three penalties and overturned one. NASCAR president Mike Helton believes the system is “the best due process in all of sports.”

came a nasty bout with food poisoning to finish second. “It all comes down to we don’t like each other very much,” he said in response to Busch’s comments. “We agree that we don’t like each other, and we’re fine with it. We’re pretty honest about it. I’m good with it.”

Violation by Pearl reported in 2004 Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Wisconsin-Milwaukee reported an NCAA violation in 2004 after Bruce Pearl invited a recruit to a party at his Milwaukee home while he was coach there. Wisconsin-Milwaukee associate athletic director of communications Kevin O’Connor said the university reported to the NCAA that Pearl had invited a recruit to attend his daughter’s graduation party at his home, though he did not name the recruit involved. Coaches are not allowed off-campus contact with high school juniors, and the university punished itself for the secondary violation by reducing the amount of future contact with the recruit. ESPN, which first reported the story, identified the recruit as Mike Schachtner, who would go on to play at Green Bay and now plays professionally in Romania. Pearl coached at Wisconsin-Milwaukee from 2001 to 2005 before being hired to coach at Tennessee, which is now being investigated for his recruiting practices. NCAA investigators questioned Pearl during the summer about a photo of him and recruit Aaron Craft allegedly taken at Pearl’s home in 2008 when the prospect was a high school junior. Pearl acknowledged in September that he provided misleading information to the investigators, and Tennessee punished him by prohibiting him from participating in off-campus recruiting until Sept. 24, 2011, and docking his salary by $1.5 million over five years.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Volunteers say they need to do a better job of communicating to prevent botched substitutions like the one that cost them against LSU. The Vols have made several substitution mistakes the last two games, including having 13 players on the field for what would have been the final play against the Tigers. A penalty gave the Tigers another play and Stevan Ridley scored a touchdown for a 16-14 win. “I think that we obviously should have talked and emphasized even more the communication of substitution in a pressure situation when the stadium’s loud and you’re far away from the bench,” coach Derek Dooley said. “You’ve just got to teach it better. It really hadn’t been too big of a problem, but we obviously aren’t teaching it and making them more aware (that) everyone must take responsibility to look.”

DEERFIELD, Ill. — The Chicago Bulls confirmed they have signed Joakim Noah to a multiyear contract extension. A source has told The Associated Press it is a fiveyear deal. The Chicago Tribune reported it is worth about $11 million annually with incentives that could take it higher. The news wasn’t so good for Carlos Boozer, who broke the fifth metatarsal in his right hand over the weekend. He will have surgery today and is expected to miss about eight weeks. Boozer said he suffered the injury in an accident at home. “I came around a corner, trying to get to the front door,” Boozer said. “I tripped over the bag I used for training camp and fell on my hand with all of my weight. Just crushed the bone.”  LONDON — Michael Beasley scored 21 points in his Timberwolves debut and Minnesota beat the Los Angeles Lakers 111-92 Monday in their preseason opener. Kobe Bryant put in a brief appearance for Los Angeles as he continues recovery from offseason knee surgery. Het started but went scoreless in little more than 6 minutes, missing all three shots. Lamar Odom led the Lakers with 17 points.

NEW YORK — The New York Mets fired manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya on Monday, an expected shake-up of the big-spending ballclub after its second straight losing season. The Mets said a search is under way for a new GM, who will work with the team to hire a new manager. “We are extremely disappointed in this year’s results and the failures of the past four seasons,” said chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, the son of owner Fred Wilpon. “We need to hire a new general manager with a fresh perspective who will transform this club into a winner that we want and our fans deserve.” The final guaranteed year of Manuel’s contract expired, and the Mets declined to exercise the club’s option on the deal. The Mets were 79-83 this year, a disappointing 18 games behind Philadelphia in the NL East despite having an opening-day payroll of $133 million that was the fifthhighest in the majors. They have not been to the playoffs since coming within a game of going to the World Series in 2006. “Changes like these are never easy, especially when you are dealing with people you like and respect,” Wilpon said. Bobby Valentine, who led the Mets to the 2000 World Series, and Wally Backman, a second baseman on New York’s 1986 championship team, have been mentioned as potential replacements for Manuel. PIRATES PITTSBURGH — The Pirates fired manager John Russell, whose teams equaled a franchise record by losing 299 games in three seasons. Not since the mid-1950s have the Pirates been as bad as they were under Russell, who had records of 67-95 in 2008, 62-99 in 2009 and 57-105 this season. Only the 1952 Pirates, who went 42-112, lost more games in

baseball’s modern era than Russell’s final team, which was the NL’s worst in batting, pitching and defense. The only other manager in the Pirates’ 124-season history to lose 299 games in three seasons was Fred Haney, who was 163-299 from 1953-55. BREWERS MILWAUKEE — Ken Macha will not return as manager of the Brewers, who have not made decisions about his staff. The 60-year-old Macha was 157-167 in two losing seasons following Milwaukee’s first postseason appearance in 26 years. DIAMONDBACKS PHOENIX — Hired as the interim manager after a midseason shake-up, Kirk Gibson was given the permanent job, signing a two-year deal with a team option for 2013. TWINS MINNEAPOLIS — For the second straight year, the Minnesota Twins will play the postseason without Justin Morneau. The 2006 AL MVP hasn’t played since July 7 because of post-concussion symptoms stemming from an inadvertent knee to the head during a slide into second base at Toronto. Morneau has begun to improve and hasn’t had any recent setbacks, but general manager Bill Smith said Monday the team doesn’t want to rush back its first baseman. The Twins expect Morneau to join the team for the start of spring training. He will stop his workouts for the next two weeks, then slowly ramp them up again in his preparation for the 2011 season. RAYS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays have set the pitching rotation for their first-round series against the Texas Rangers, with 19-game winner David Price getting the ball in Game 1 on Wednesday. James Shields will start Game 2. Matt Garza will be on the mound for Game 3. If Game 4 is necessary, rookie Wade Davis will get the start.

The Phillies scored three runs off Jonny Venters and Wagner in the eighth. After allowing an RBI single by Wilson Valdez and pinch-hitter Ben Francisco’s tworun double, W a g n e r struck out Raul Ibanez to strand runners on sec- WAGNER ond and third. Wagner realized how close he came to losing the lead and blowing more than the save. A loss could have left a bitter final memory for his career. “Don’t think that didn’t run through my head out there, you screw this up and you have to go home and always be a goat,” Wagner said. “I was happy to go out there and compete and make some pitches and have another day to go out there and sweat.” After winning the key showdown with Ibanez, Wagner had more strikeout magic in the ninth. Relying on his slider, which was all the more difficult to pick up in the afternoon shadows, Wagner struck out Shane Victorino, Brian Schneider and Greg Dobbs — each on called third strikes. “What he did in the ninth was amazing,” Braves catcher Brian McCann said. “That’s why he’s had so many saves and he’s one of the best closers of all time.” Cox said Wagner “has been on me all year” to come in a game in the eighth. After the eighth-inning struggle, Cox said he never wavered in also giving his closer the ball in the ninth. Cox joked that if he’d turned to another reliever, “you’d have been given a new manager. I’d be dead.” This is Wagner’s eight postseason. Wagner and the Houston Astros lost to the Braves in the division series in 1997, 1999 and 2001. Wagner and the New York Mets beat the Dodgers in the 2006 division series before losing to St. Louis in the National League Championship Series. Wagner begged Cox all season for a chance to pitch more than one inning and finally had his chance with the season on the line. “I wish I had made it a little bit easier,” he said. “They made me work my tail off. I was lucky to get through that eighth.” Wagner is 7-2 with a 1.43 ERA and a fastball that still reaches the upper 90s mph. He made his seventh All-Star team this season and has pitched so well he has been asked if he will really retire. He continues to insist he is committed to spending more time with his family in Virginia and will stand by the announcement. He has a $6.5 million option to play in 2011. “This is it for me,” Wagner said Sunday. “I’m gone.”

Taylor The terms of the sale are that the real property hereinbefore described will be sold for cash to the highest bidder. A deposit of five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, is required and must be tendered in the form of certified funds at the time of the sale.

Aging Veterans Unaware of VA Pension Benefits by Lori Eberly, Certified Geriatric Care Manager, Owner of Comfort Keepers In Home Care

For aging veterans, one of their most important benefit programs is the Veterans Non-Service Connected Improved Pension Benefit Program. Established to assist qualified veterans, and/or their surviving spouses and family, the Veterans NSC Improved Pension Benefit Program provides financial support that enables veterans to live independently while receiving the quality of care they deserve. In particular, funds are available for aging veterans who need assistance with medical and non-medical care both in the home and in qualified facilities. In many cases, veterans, along with their spouses and family, are unaware that this program exists. According to VA analysis, only 27 percent of veterans and 14 percent of widow(er)s who are likely eligible, actually receive any money from the program. Types of Care Eligible The availability of this program is something all veterans and their widow(er)s should know. Seniors in our country are now living longer. With higher living costs and the continued rise in healthcare expenditures, many seniors are at risk of quickly depleting their savings. Programs like the Veterans NSC Improved Pension Benefit Program can fund services like in-home care, assisted living facility expenses and other medical costs that many seniors face. "We see many clients that are faced with the difficult task of covering their healthcare expenses," said Lori Eberly with Comfort Keepers. "If they qualify for these funds, it takes a huge burden off of veterans and their families. This money can be used to ensure they are given access to the care they need." Qualifications To qualify for the Veterans NSC Improved Pension Benefit Programs, a veteran must have 90 days or more of active duty with at least one of those days served during a US-declared war. The benefits are designed for those who meet specific financial criteria and demonstrate a physical need for healthcare. The Department of Veterans Affairs determines active duty as full-time service, other than active duty for training, as a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service, Environmental Science Services Administration or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or its predecessor, the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Other qualifications and considerations: " Discharge for any reason other than dishonorable conditions

" Over the age of 65 or disabled " Total financial assets " Physical condition " Current marital status (if you are the surviving spouse of a veteran) " Total gross income versus medical deduction Costly Misunderstanding There are several reasons why veterans are unaware or misunderstand these benefits. First is the very name of the benefit itself - improved pension benefit. Pension benefits usually come after years of service, not after only 90 days of service. In addition, many veterans often assume the available benefits are for those who have a service-related disability not just because they turned 65. As the name implies, this program is a non-service connected benefit. Important Documents Applicants who plan to seek VA benefits for the first time must submit the Service Discharge Form (DD-214, DD-215, or for WWII veterans, a WD form). This form will determine their service dates and reason for discharge, full name and military service number. Applicants seeking VA benefits related to a veteran's death must submit the following: " Veteran's birth certificate " Veteran's marriage certificate " Children's birth certificates or adoption papers " Veteran's death certificate Next Steps There are several places to find additional information regarding the application process.

information or to get the correct forms, visit http://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/faqs.asp. These resources can assist in the application process. Other assistance can be provided through various national, county, or local service organizations. In addition, in-home care providers like Comfort Keepers and senior care facilities can assist in accessing the information necessary to evaluate a person's eligibility for the Veterans Improved Pension Benefit Program and/or other VA funded programs that may assist with providing for a Veteran's care needs. Comfort Keepers can provide professional guidance while the applicant is completing the necessary paperwork and being assessed for eligibility for the Veterans Improved Pension Benefit Program.

Comfort Keepers Holds 2nd Annual "Supplies For Seniors" Drive by Lori Eberly, Certified Geriatric Care Manager, Owner of Comfort Keepers In Home Care

Comfort Keepers, a local in-home care provider, has designated September as "Supplies For Seniors" Month and will be collecting donations of senior-related supplies throughout the month and distributing them to needy seniors through arrangements with senior services, social services, and other community organizations. Comfort Keepers owner, Lori Eberly, says that she came up with the "Supplies for Seniors" campaign because her offices often get calls from seniors and their loved ones who have leftover supplies such as adult protective briefs, pull sheets, nutritional shakes, latex gloves, equipment such as walkers and shower chairs, and various other supplies that they no longer need and they want to donate the items to someone else who can use the items. "The most common items that

people generally want to donate are unused incontinence supplies such as adult protective briefs," says Eberly, "and that is also the primary item that less fortunate seniors are seeking assistance obtaining. I wanted to be able to coordinate a drive in which those who no longer need these items can donate them to seniors who are less fortunate that would benefit from receiving these items and supplies." Anyone wishing to donate seniorrelated items for the "Supplies For Seniors" drive can drop items off during the month of September at Comfort Keepers, 1717 W Innes St, Salisbury, NC Monday-Friday between 9am and 5pm. Anyone who has items to donate but is unable to drop the items off during those times, or need to arrange to have items picked up is encouraged to call Comfort Keepers at 704-630-0370 between 9am and 5pm M-F.

A new four-hour AARP driver safety class offered for senior citizens

An AARP Driver Safety Program class will be held at the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, at 1120 South Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Salisbury on Wednesday, October 13. The class has been revised to a four-hour session. Registration is at 12:30 and instruction from 1:00 to 5:00. Class size is limited, so reservations can be made by calling 704-216-7714. The fee is $12.00 for AARP members. The member must bring the membership card to the class. If the card is lost, a new card can be obtained by calling the AARP national office at 1-888-227-7669 (1-888AARP NOW). The membership number is also on the AARP magazine. The fee is $14.00 for non-members. The fee covers the cost of the workbook and materials. Participants must also bring their driver’s license. The Rufty-Holmes Senior Center has sponsored an AARP Driver Safety Class in Salisbury every year since 1991. The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s first and largest classroom driver refresher course specially designed for motorists age 50 and older. AARP volunteers have been teaching the Driver Safety course since 1979. The course will provide a review of driving skills and techniques, as well as strategies and tips to help seniors adjust

to normal age related physical changes that affect driving ability. The workbook contains 25 pages of safety tips and much more. The objectives of the AARP Driver Safety Program are to help participants understand the effects of aging on driving by getting them to know themselves, learn driving strategies that take into account the changes people experience as they age; identify the most common crash situations we face; reduce the chances of having a crash by reviewing basic driving rules, traffic hazards and accident prevention measures; update our knowledge and understanding of today’s roads, vehicles and other road users; plan and think about how we drive; the effects of medication on driving; identify when driving may no longer be safe. Upon completing the course, graduates of the AARP Driver Safety Program may be eligible to receive a discount on their auto insurance premiums. The local AARP chapter meets the first Thursday of each month at the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center starting at 1:00. The local chapter offers members a variety of community service, education, advocacy and leadership, and fellowship opportunities. Senior citizens over the age of 50 are encouraged to attend the informative meetings and join the local chapter.

Whole grains offer a world of new taste to familiar foods (ARA) - Sometimes a small change in your diet can lead to big results. Americans are continuing to recognize that maintaining a healthy lifestyle includes making smart food choices. A good place to start is making whole grains a staple of your diet, as they provide many nutrients that are fundamental to the health and preservation of our bodies. While most people recognize the benefits of adding whole grains into their diets, the taste and texture of some whole grain foods have been a deterrent for some. Now, eating healthy can be an enjoyable and delicious experience, in addition to helping maintain a healthy body. According to Ellie Krieger, celebrity chef, New York Times bestselling author and registered dietitian, "To get people to eat well, don't say a word about health; rather just cook

fantastic food for them." Krieger is known for helping people find simple ways to eat in a healthy, realistic and easy way without sacrificing taste. Many health experts recommend eating three to five servings of whole grains a day, and Krieger says much of that can come down to substituting whole grain alternatives for foods you are already consuming, like bread, cereal and pasta -- which is one of her favorites. "Barilla Whole Grain is the ideal pasta for anyone seeking to increase their intake of fiber and whole grains without sacrificing great taste." Additionally, she recommends taking these additional steps when striving for a healthier lifestyle:

healthy oils. It's not rocket science.

favorite foods.

* Simplify healthy home cooking by stocking ingredients that can be used on a moment's notice. For instance, make sure you have staples like canned tomatoes, canned beans, frozen shrimp and vegetables, plus whole grains like quinoa and pasta, readily available.

If you're ready to explore the new world of taste offered by a whole grain diet, Krieger recommends taking the Barilla "That's Whole Grain? Taste Challenge" to try whole grain spaghetti, penne, linguini or whatever pasta suits your fancy. Through Oct. 31, customers can purchase a box of pasta and if they aren't satisfied, they can return it for a free box of their favorite regular Barilla pasta by submitting a completed redemption form, original store receipt and UPC symbol.

* Think about getting color in every meal or snack. For example, if you're going to scramble an egg, add chopped tomatoes. It increases the meal's flavor, excitement and nutritional value. Try mixing whole grain pasta with fresh seasonal vegetables, tasty herbs and your favorite cheeses for a well-rounded and delicious dish. The great thing about pasta and other grains like rice, couscous or quinoa is they provide a versatile base that can be mixed almost all of your

To share the secrets of creating delicious, healthy meals without sacrificing taste and flavor, Krieger created exclusive recipes for Whole Grain pasta, including the one listed below. More easy and delicious whole grain recipes are available at www.trybarillawholegrain.com.

Please Don’t Say “Just” When I spent six days in the hospital receiving steroids for what appeared to be a multiple sclerosis flare up, other tests had been done to rule out all that it might have been. After five days of solumedrol, the pain was gone and I was not having as much trouble breathing. I guess one could say, I had “survived” another attack. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, “Come unto me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Sometimes it seems I take a step forward only to take two steps back. Sometimes I get weary of the repetition of multiple sclerosis and that’s when I try to give it to the Lord. Thirty-four years of emotional ups and downs and in and out of hospitals has taught me so much about my physical problems. The one thing I’ve learned is how the medications that help in one way have negative side effects in other ways. As in other things in life, sometimes I have to take the bad with the good. Because of the scripture shown above, I know Jesus will give me “rest for my soul.” I’m sure five days of complete bed rest was part of the healing. I had intelligent, understanding doctors and nurses and the hospital staff was there for me as I needed them. I had left my van in the parking lot with the windows open because I didn’t know I was going to be admitted. With the threat of rain, one of the security guards got my keys and went out to put the windows up. The next day when I happened to remember that I had left medication in my van, the maintenance man went and bought the medicine in out of the heat. He was in the room fixing a phone when I thought about the medicine and he volunteered to go get it. It just so happened that we went to school together so thanks again, Danny! You may be wondering about the title in this story. In my antique dictionary, the word “just” has about eight different meanings. In this situation, “just” means merely, only, simply, etc. One day, I asked the housekeeper a question and she said, “I’m so sorry. I don’t know; I’m ‘just’ the cleaning lady.” I know the words that came from my heart were a gift from God. I said, “Oh, please, don’t say you are ‘just’ the cleaning lady. After all, cleanliness is next to Godliness. Are you a wife, or a mother?” She nodded and smiled sweetly. She thanked me for “putting it that way.” And this applies to security guards, maintenance men, and all those other folks that get patients to and from where they need to be. Actually, this can apply to all of us. In my case, I’m not “just” a MS patient; I am a survivor. I’m not “just” a mother; I’m also a grandmother.” I’m no longer “just” a journal writer; I’m an author of two books. I’m no longer shy or “just” a speaker. Instead, I am a Christian who is no longer “just” a Bible reader, but one of Jesus’ disciples trying to use speaking and writing to teach others what I’ve learned and how I try to practice what I believe. (Matthew 28:18)

Think you don't need life insurance? Think again! Submitted by Eric Brady

You’re a Stay-at-Home Parent. Just because you don't bring home a paycheck doesn't mean you don't make contributions to your family that would be expensive to replace.

(NAPSI)-With so many lighting choices on the shelf at your local retail store, it’s not always easy to decide whether you should replace your burned-out bulb with an incandescent, halogen, LED or other style. One variety that’s growing in popularity is energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Take GE’s quick course on CFLs to better understand the facts, myths and more and to learn how smart lighting choices can be one of the easiest ways to save on energy costs. Lesson One: The Basics CFL stands for compact fluorescent light, but more importantly, it serves as an energy-efficient bulb that uses two-thirds less energy, produces 70 percent less heat and lasts up to 10 t i m e s longer than standard incandescent bulbs. While a standard incandescent bulb uses heat to produce light, a CFL creates light using an entirely different method that is four times more efficient. This means that you can buy a 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt regular incandescent bulb. Unlike the first models, modern CFLs don’t produce the same flickering, humming or dim light when initially turned on. CFLs also come in a variety of wattages, shapes and sizes to deliver the same light as a standard bulb and fit almost any fixture in the house. Lesson Two: The Types CFLs are ideal for everyday

lighting. They can replicate cool, natural light or simulate midday sunlight for warm, comfortable lighting. Most CFLs are available in three-way and dimmable bulbs for adjustable light levels and provide application versatility with a host of bulb options including floodlights, chandelier, ceiling fans, globes, corkscrew-shaped and even outdoor post lights. One newer CFL option is a covered or incandescentshaped bulb, such as GE Energy Smart® CFL bulbs, where a corkscrew-shaped CFL is covered with glass to give the appearance of a standard incandescent bulb. Covered CFL bulbs can be seen as more aesthetically pleasing and fit in more lamps and fixtures than standard corkscrewshaped bulbs. Lesson Three: The Applications Lighting plays as big a role in home design as furniture, wall paint or appliances. There are three main types of lighting: ambient (general overhead), task and accent (decorative). CFL bulbs can be used for all of these lighting functions to enhance the mood, improve visibility and offer energy savings. Since color is key in home design, select CFLs that filter out dull yellow rays and make colors “pop,” such as GE Reveal® CFL bulbs, which can help bring out patterns that may go unnoticed under ordinary incandescent light. The tutorial doesn’t end here--there’s much more you can learn about CFLs or lighting design by visiting Whatsyourlightingstyle.com. Class dismissed!

Cholesterol And You (NAPSI)-Did you know that one in every six adults in the U.S. has high cholesterol? Or that 80 percent of people who have had a heart attack have high cholesterol? Having high cholesterol could double your risk for serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a soft, waxy fat, or lipid. There are two main sources of cholesterol. Cholesterol is made naturally in the body or it can be ingested if it is present in the food you eat. Cholesterol is found in the bloodstream and in cells throughout the body. Although cholesterol is necessary for the body to function properly, too much of it can lead to serious health problems. In fact, people with high total cholesterol have double the risk of heart disease. “Bad” cholesterol is called LDL cholesterol, and it can build up in the arteries and prevent the blood from getting to the heart or brain. HDL cholesterol, on the other hand, is the “good” cholesterol. It helps carry LDL cholesterol away from artery walls. The good news is that you can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by lowering your LDL cholesterol. Although some risk factors such as family history, age and gender may impact your chance of having a heart attack or stroke, they cannot be changed. Luckily, however, risk factors such as diet, weight and

ANSWER TO WORD SEARCH PUZZLE on pg 3

exercise levels can be adapted to lower your cholesterol--and potentially your risk for heart disease and stroke. In some cases, exercise and healthy eating are enough to control cholesterol levels. But sometimes these efforts are not enough, and cholesterol-lowering medications may be needed. Controlling cholesterol is especially important for people who are at a higher risk for heart problems, including patients with coronary heart disease or other cardiovascular disease or patients with diabetes plus other risk factors. Managing cholesterol with certain medicines has been shown to provide several health benefits, including reducing the risk of a first stroke. It is important to talk to your doctor about any treatment option. Don’t put yourself at risk. Talk to your doctor and take control of your cholesterol starting today.

2 Three entrance plans including a 90% refundable option

* Go batty - Create adorable beverage can bats to hang on your porch or anywhere in your home. Just rinse a few empty beverage cans with soap and water and allow to fully dry. Remove the ring that's attached to each can and bend the can slightly at the middle. Then, in a well-ventilated area like a garage with an open door, lay out old newspaper or an old sheet and spray several light coats of Rust-Oleum Universal Gloss Black spray paint onto each can and allow them to dry for 24 hours. Once the can has dried, glue bat wings to the sides of the can, teeth to the drinking area on the can, eyes to the top of the can just above the drinking hole and bat ears to the outer ring of the can (right above the eyes). The wings, teeth, eyes and ears can be found at your local craft store or you can make them yourself from foam or construction paper. Glue a piece of fishing line to the can, allow the glue to dry and then unwind a paper clip and tie the other end of the fishing line to the paper clip to hang. Leave this "welcome bat" plain, or use orange puffy paint to write a fun Halloween message. * "Trick" their treats - Don't send your little ghost or goblin out with an ordinary treat container when it's so easy to personalize it to reflect their Halloween style. Recycle the old

plastic pumpkin they used the year before and transform it into something unique and special with spray paint. Try Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X. It is available in a rainbow of colors to coordinate with any costume. Try a color like Grape or Berry Pink for your little princess or ballerina. Do you have a Shrek in the family? Try a color like Key Lime or Green Apple for their carrier. Once the plastic pumpkins are painted, let the kids decorate them using markers, puffy paint, stickers or stick-on jewels and they're ready for a night full of candy goodness. * Instant messaging - Leave the carving knife in the kitchen drawer and try a new twist on pumpkin decorating. Buy a pumpkin or two at the supermarket or farm stand, clean it well to remove dirt and debris and paint it with Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint. Spray paint it traditional black - or brush on one of 14 colors in the chalkboard palette with a foam brush. Remember to "scuff" up the pumpkin with the rounded edge of the chalk - then write messages to your kids throughout the season. The paint preserves the pumpkin, so you can have some Halloween fun right through Thanksgiving. Looking for more inspiration or Halloween ideas? Visit www.paintideas.com or www.facebook.com/RustOleum
