SEEING THE POTENTIAL

New law will open more of personnel records

Home on Fulton Street shows how a little love, care can work magic wen Matthews had shown the house to numerous people, but she always noticed how quickly their faces dropped and interest faded.

She couldn’t blame them. It was difficult to look past just the obvious problems of a caved-in porch floor and a second floor inside covered with bird poop.

“The second floor was hammered,” Jeff Schaap acknowledges.

“It was pretty scary,” agreed his MARK wife, Rosemary.

WINEKA But the Schaaps, married only last year, immediately saw something in the 1922 bungalow at 711 N. Fulton St. that other potential buyers did not. When Matthews finished showing the couple through the house, they asked how soon purchase papers could be drawn up.

“It needed a unique buyer who was really interested in coming in and loving it again,” says Matthews, director of historic properties for Historic Salisbury Foundation.

The foundation’s 35th annual OctoberTour of homes will be held Oct. 9-10. The Schaaps’ home won’t be featured on the tour, but it symbolizes the kind of day-to-day preservation efforts the foundation does beyond its showcase event.

The arts and crafts bungalow on North Fulton Street is not on the National Register of Historic Places, nor in one of Salisbury’s many historic districts.

“But it was a gem that needed to be saved,” Matthews said.

The Schaaps saw the house for the first time last November. They Bringles’ house grows closed on the house around with the times, in Christmas and Home & Garden, 1C spent the next six months immersed in a total restoration.

Before the foundation ever put the house on the market, it had filled five Dumpsters full of stuff left throughout the house by the previous owners. The Schaaps filled an additional five containers of materials torn out in their demolition work inside.

An insurance restorationist who works out of Forsyth County, Jeff Schaap said he had “all the people and hands to make it happen.” But he particularly leaned on Mark Telarico, whom he credits with doing 80 percent of the work.

In his initial tour, Schaap saw a solidly built home with a sound foundation. There were no sags or termite damage. But it did require a major overhaul — new plumbing, wiring, heating, air-conditioning and plaster restoration.

Telarico built pieces onto mantels, recreated millwork around doors, repaired sections of the hardwood floors and constructed new shelves. Living in Albemarle, the

The North Fulton Street home of Jeff and Rosemary Schaap was ‘a gem that needed to be saved,’ according to Gwen Matthews of the Historic Salisbury Foundation.

Two facing charges after homes raided

couple traveled to Salisbury on many weeknights and almost every weekend to add their muscle in the renovations.

During the winter months, when much of the early demolition and restoration was taking place, the house was frigid.

“Jeff actually called it the tomb,” Rosemary said.

Part of the couple’s challenge was removing any trace that their house had once been a duplex. So changes had to happen. What used to be a back porch became a closet, for example. A half bathroom downstairs was fashioned out of a former hallway. The couple found room for a kitchen pantry and were amazed at all the spacious closets.

The porch was fixed, becoming one of the favorite spots for the Schaaps and

their big family, which includes four of Rosemary’s boys from a previous marriage and Jeff’s two daughters.

Three of the boys — Ross, 12; Gabe, 11, and Andrew, 8 — live here full-time, and have full run of the spacious upstairs.

By July, the Schaaps had moved in.

They found themselves in a 2,800square-foot home full of character. On the first floor, they have a library, living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, master bedroom, master bathroom, a walk-in closet and a half-bath off the hallway.

Upstairs, the boys have their bedrooms, a game room and a full bathroom.

It’s good problem to have, Rosemary says, but she doesn’t have enough furni-

Starting today, members of the public can access more information about government employees under a new state ethics law, but it’s not clear whether it applies to yesterday’s records as well.

The Government Ethics and Campaign Reform Act of 2010 requires public officials to provide upon request “each increase or decrease in salary” of government employees and “the date and type of each promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation, or other change in position classification...”

Under previous state law, public officials had to provide only an employee’s current salary and the most recent change in status.

The new law also requires access to written dismissal notices “setting forth the specific acts or omissions that are the basis of the dismissal.”

State and local officials have asked N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper to issue an opinion on whether or not the law allows access to information placed in employee files prior to today.

Noelle Talley, a N.C. Department of Justice spokeswoman, said that to her knowledge, the state agency hasn’t received an opinion request from any Rowan agency.

Cooper’s office had said he hoped to issue the opinion before the law went into effect, but that didn’t happen.

“Attorneys with our office are working on an opinion on this new law, which will be publicly available,” Talley said Thursday in an e-mail to the Post. “... They are working to get it finished as soon as possible.”

Amanda Martin, attorney for the N.C. Press Association, said laws are not generally retroactive. She said her initial understanding was “it will apply to document requests and things mov-

Two men face drug charges after law enforcement officers raided two Salisbury homes Wednesday and seized a combined 275 grams of marijuana.

At 10 a.m., the Salisbury Police Department’s Drug Enforcement Unit raided a home at 35 Knox St., where a search revealed 50 grams of marijuana in 33 bags.

The resident, 21-year-old Andrew Sid Powers, is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver a controlled substance and possession of stolen goods.

When officers searched Powers, they found a .380-caliber pistol in his possession.

“The pistol was stolen from a POWERS residence in Rowan County. It was a recent theft in late August,” Deputy Chief Steve Whitley said.

Officers found the marijuana, he added, in several locations in the house, along with plastic bags and scales.

Authorities placed Powers in the Rowan County jail under $5,000 bond.

On the same day at 2:30 p.m., the Drug Enforcement Unit raided a home at 219 Heilig Ave. Investigators recovered 225 grams of marijuana — half a pound — and drug paraphernaSTOCKTON lia.

The resident at that house, 35year-old Billy Ray Stockton, is charged with possession with intent to manufacture a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Stockton was jailed under a $2,500 bond.

Both men have since been released.

declined to give her age or hometown for this article.

Biernacki earned degrees in political science and English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a law degree from N.C. Central University. Between undergraduate and law school, she served in the U.S. Army, where she met her husband, Paul, and was a military intelligence analyst and Spanish linguist.

An animal lover, Biernacki has seven dogs and 20 cats.

She lives in Cleveland with her husband. The two are members of the Harold B. Jarret American Legion Post 342.

Biernacki has spent the past 14 years prosecuting cases in district court, juvenile court, administrative court and superior court. She has focused particularly on the prosecution of child abuse and child sexual abuse cases, as well as violent felonies and repeat offenders.

Cook graduated from Catawba College, where she earned degrees in political science and sociology. She earned her law degree from Ohio Northern University’s Claude W. Petit College of Law. Cook mentors children through Communities in Schools, and teaches courtroom procedure and case building for Basic Law Enforcement Training. Cook lives in Salisbury with her husband, Mark Schindelholz.

Cook notes that she has a 100 percent conviction rate for first-degree murder jury trials, and has experience in prosecuting habitual felons.

Here’s how the candidates compare on some issues facing the Rowan District Attorney’s Office:

Case backlogs Biernacki said Rowan has always tended to have a higher backlog than neighboring counties, including Cabarrus.

“Part of that is a result of staffing considerations, court time,” she said. “But a big part of it is that we end up trying more cases in this county because we don’t give away the courthouse.”

Biernacki said she knows the public sometimes perceives the prosecutor’s office as making plea bargains that go light on defendants, “but that is simply not the case.”

And she says the Rowan district attorney’s office is doing more than it’s ever done, and with less.

“We are doing more weeks of court than we have ever done. We are moving more cases than have ever been moved in a year,” she said.

The bottom line, she said, is Rowan’s office is going to continue working.

“The voters are going to have to choose whether they

Plea agreements Though saying she won’t use them to simply clear cases off the docket, Biernacki called plea agreements a “necessary evil” and intends to continue them if elected.

“You have to come to some sort of an agreement — and we always consult with victims — that a victim can live with, the state can live with and that the defendant will be willing to even consider,” she said.

To be able to make plea agreements victims can live with, she said, she has to be in a position that the defendant and his attorney know that if they can’t come to an agreement, they will be taken to trial, and then a judge and jury will decide their fate.

“If there’s not that kind of concern on the part of a defendant and the defendant’s attorney, that they know they’re going to trial if they don’t accept, we’d never get anything moved by plea arrangements — we’d get buffaloed over time. That has been my philosophy over the years, and it still is.”

Cook said as a prosecutor, she has an “ethical duty to review every case on an individual basis.”

“And in reviewing every case on an individual basis, our job must be that justice is served,” she said. “And as the elected district attorney, you have to be able to make tough decisions on the disposition of cases, based on the evidence that has resulted from law enforcement’s investigation.”

Biernacki and Cook call the Racial Justice Act vague.

“I do not agree with the language in the Racial Justice Act as it is currently written,” Cook said. “I believe the Racial Justice Act is an avenue to effectively eradicate the use of the death penalty in North Carolina.”

Cook said the race of an individual, whether a defendant or victim, “should never play a role in deciding how to prosecute a case, and has never played a role in the decisions that I have made as prosecutor over the past 10 years.”

“As the elected district attorney I will continue to review every first-degree murder case that is charged, to see if it qualifies for the death penalty,” she said. “And if so, after consulting with the law enforcement officers involved as well as the victim’s family, I will make a decision to pursue the death penalty at that time.”

Biernacki believes the Racial Justice Act will “cause litigation for years to come,” and said the act calls into question what is going on in a prosecutor’s mind at the time of the trial.

“What it’s going to cause, and what’s already happened, prosecutors are having to go

“The Racial Justice Act is wonderful in theory ... (but) it’s so vague. It’s going to cause litigation for years to come. I never, ever have considered the race of a defendant or the victim in a prosecution case. I’m afraid, for all intents and purposes, that the death penalty is basically gone, at least for now. I believe in the death penalty.”

“Voters are going to have to choose whether they want the backlog cleared up and the jail emptied, or they want people to be held accountable for their criminal behavior. And that means dismissing cases, pleading everything down, agreeing to probation and those types of things. I don’t intend to do business that way.”

“I am the only candidate running for this position that has the experience in prosecuting first-degree murder cases. I have worked with law enforcement to build the strongest cases possible for prosecution, and have achieved a 100 percent conviction rate for first-degree murder jury trials. I have committed my entire legal career to fighting for victims in court.”

“Race of an individual, whether a criminal defendant or a victim of crime, should never play a role in deciding how to prosecute a case and has never played a role in the decisions that I made as a prosecutor over the past 10 years. I do not believe in the Racial Justice Act as written. I believe the Racial Justice Act is an avenue to effectively eradicate the use of the death penalty in North Carolina. I support the death penalty.”

“As a prosecutor, we have an ethical duty to review every case on an individual basis. And in reviewing each case on an individual basis, our job must be that justice is served. And as the elected DA, you have to be able to make tough decisions on the disposition of cases, based on the evidence that has resulted from law enforcement’s investigation.”

back and sort of recall what their thought processes were at the time,” she said. “I think it’s going to cause in the future everyone to make notes for the file, to explain what the thought processes were,” which she said was not necessarily a bad thing.

“I am afraid, for all intents and purposes, that the death penalty is basically gone — at least for now.”

Biernacki said she believes in the death penalty, and that she has never considered the race of a defendant or the victim in prosecuting a case.

Race “has no place, in any consideration,” she said. “That will continue to be my position.”

Communication Biernacki and Cook both say they have open-door policies, and both say their offices effectively communicate with the public.

Cook said there’s always room for improvement in all aspects of a district attorney’s job, but the first responsibility is to “ensure that we have communication with law enforcement, victims and witnesses in the prosecution of criminal cases. “... Part of our job is to counsel law enforcement in their investigations if they

have questions that arise,” she said. “I believe that communication between law enforcement helps build stronger cases for prosecution.”

Biernacki said anyone can come into the Rowan County’s district attorney’s office, and she will continue to operate that way if elected.

“We don’t turn people away,” she said. “We do not have the manpower to call people ahead of time and talk to them about their case. I don’t ever see it being feasible.”

She said the office currently sends letters to witnesses and victims, who can indicate whether they want to speak further about their cases.

“I’m sure there are going to be people that will think that they don’t get enough attention, and in some cases that may be,” she said, “but I think overall, we do a pretty good job.”

Qualifications Cook touted her experience prosecuting high-profile cases.

“I am the only candidate running for this position that has the experience of prosecuting first-degree murder cases,” Cook said. “I have committed my entire legal career to fighting for victims in

court and have successfully prosecuted murderers, child molesters, drug dealers, impaired drivers and repeat offenders.

“I believe in the team approach to the prosecution of cases because by working together as a team, and not as an individual, we will be able to make our community safer.”

Biernacki pointed to her 14 years working for Kenerly — the transition with her would be “fairly smooth,” she said — and that she has spent her entire legal career prosecuting cases in Rowan.

“I know this county, I know the law enforcement agencies and individual law enforcement officers in this county — and they know me,” she said.

“There’s a mutual respect.

They know where I stand.

They know they can come in this office anytime. They know they can call me after hours. They know where I live. They have even been to my home before.”

“I have tried cases before Rowan County citizens,” she said. “It’s my position that I have the experience — not just the legal experience, but the life experience — to do this job and do it well.”

want the case backlog cleared up, and the jail emptied, or they want people to be held accountable for their criminal behavior,” she said. “And that means dismissing cases, pleading everything down, agreeing to probation and those types of things. Those are the things that will clear up your backlog. I don’t intend to do business that way.”

Cook said she wants to tackle pending Superior Court cases by using resources “as efficiently and as effectively as possible.”

“I want to promote effective case management so that victims in crime will have their day in court sooner,” she said. “Because justice delayed is justice denied.”

Cook wants to prioritize which cases get tried before a jury and which are disposed of “by virtue of a guilty plea.”

And she says she intends to fight for more resources in three ways.

“First, by going before the county commissioners to request funds for additional staff,” she said. “Second, by going to Raleigh if necessary to request additional funding for staff through the Administrative Office of the Courts.

Three, by going through the Governor’s Crime Commission for potential grant opportunities to fund positions in the office.”

Senate votes to ban TV commercials that get louder WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to turn down the volume on those loud TV commercials that send couch potatoes diving for their remote controls looks like it’ll soon become law.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill late Wednesday to require television stations and cable companies to keep commercials at the same volume as the programs they interrupt. The House has passed similar legislation. Before it can become law, minor differences between the two versions have to be worked out when Congress returns.

Gay activists decry fate of student who killed himself PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Internet illustrates the potential for tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.

Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy.

The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on campus. “Had he been in bed with a woman,

Golb was convicted of identity theft, harassment and criminal impersonation of Dr. Lawrence Schiffman, a longtime rival of his father’s whom he said plagiarized research and was never punished. Schiffman took the case to authorities.

Golb’s father and Schiffman, who is chairman of New York University’s Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, have long disagreed on the origins of the texts.

Golb, a linguistics scholar and lawyer with degrees from Oberlin College, Harvard University and NYU, said he was angry the plagiarism accusations were never brought to light and that his father’s theory was being smeared online.

Golb created an account under Schiffman’s name and sent messages from it to Schiffman’s students and colleagues.

They pointed to blog posts about the plagiarism allegation and asked the recipients to help keep it quiet.

He overcame early typecasting as a lightweight pretty boy to become a serious actor in such films as “Sweet Smell of Success,” “Spartacus” and “The Defiant Ones,” the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination.

He continually reshaped himself, taking lesser roles to find steady work in a business that prizes youth.

He subdued alcohol and drug addictions, lived CURTIS through six marriages and five divorces, and found peace with a new art as a painter.

Curtis, whose wildly undefinable cast of characters ranged from a Roman slave leading the rebellious cry of “I’m Spartacus” to a jazz age musician wooing Marilyn Monroe while disguised as a woman in “Some Like It Hot,” died Wednesday night. The 85-year-old actor suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Henderson, Nev., near Las Vegas, the coroner said Thursday.

“My father leaves behind a legacy of great performances in movies and in his paintings and assemblages,” said Jamie Lee Curtis — his daughter with first wife Janet Leigh, co-star of “Psycho.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Rahm Emanuel will resign as White House chief of staff today and will begin his campaign for Chicago mayor by meeting with voters in the city on Monday, two people familiar with Emanuel’s plans said.

The two people, who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt Emanuel’s announcement, said he will return to Chicago over the weekend and begin touring neighborhoods Monday.

White House spokesman Robert

Gibbs said President Barack Obama plans to make a personnel announcement today.

RALEIGH (AP) — A massive rainstorm drenched the East Coast from the Carolinas to Maine on Thursday, causing at least four deaths as it washed away months of dry weather.

The worst of the rain fell in North Carolina, where Jacksonville picked up 12 inches — nearly a quarter of its typical annual rainfall — in six hours. Four people, including two children, were killed when the sport utility vehicle they were traveling in skidded off a rainslicked highway and tumbled into a ditch filled with water, North Carolina troopers said. A fifth victim likely drowned when his pickup veered off the road and into a river Highway Patrol Trooper Gary Edwards said troopers initially reported five people were killed in the first crash because two children, 3-year-old twins, did not have a pulse when emergency workers arrived. Rescuers were able to revive them and they were taken to a hospital alive. One of the twins later died, a news release from the patrol said.

Edwards said the family from Atlanta was traveling westbound on U.S. 64 east of Creswell when their Jeep Cherokee hit standing water, hydroplaned and skidded off the highway into the ditch.

Creswell is approximately 145 miles east of Raleigh.

The rain was part of a system moving ahead of the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, which dissipated over the Straits of Florida on Wednesday. Much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast were starting to move into a drought after the dry summer, and the fall storm provided several inches of much-needed rain.

NEW YORK (AP) — A scholar’s son was convicted Thursday of using online aliases to harass and discredit his father’s detractors in a heated academic debate over the origins of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

A Manhattan jury found Raphael Golb guilty of about 30 counts against him, including identity theft, forgery and harassment. He was acquitted of one count of criminal impersonation.

The unusual criminal trial focused on claims of Internet impersonation. Prosecutors said Golb, 50, used fake e-mail accounts and wrote blog posts under assumed names to take his father’s side in a scholarly dispute over the scrolls’ origins. Golb acknowledged on the stand that he crafted the e-mails and blog posts, but said the writings amounted to academic whistle-blowing and blogosphere banter — not crime. He said he was using irony, satire and parody to expose a plagiarist.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s embattled crime laboratory appears better equipped to ensure test results for DNA, blood and other human material are accurate and complete compared to the findings of past work in an independent report, a key legislator said Thursday.

Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, said presentations by State Bureau of Investigation lab officials to a legislative panel examining problems uncovered with how blood tests were reported over a 16-year period ending in 2003, gives him “a better certainty and confidence level” in the work going on today. The report found lab analysts didn’t always include all blood test results on lab reports provided to courts, and it recommended local prosecutors re-examine 190 cases that were omitted or unclear and someone was arrested.

But he’s not yet persuaded all rankand-file lab workers have been trained well enough or use streamlined terminology to ensure the full science is presented to both defense attorneys and prosecutors.

“Clearly we’re looking at a time frame that was different,” said Glazier, the panel’s co-chairman. “There are changes in protocol, there are changes

in the number of requirements. Whether those changes have been fully institutionalized remains another question that we’ve got to have answered.”

Mike Budzynski, chief of the SBI lab’s forensic biology and DNA section, said standards have been raised as new technology and testing procedures are being used. In keeping with the requirements of an accreditation group and FBI quality assurance standards, lab work undergo a peer review to ensure tests run and conclusions made were proper, Budzynski said. And all reports — including handwritten lab notes — are made public in the electronic case file.

“If we’ve got problems, we’ve got to fix them. We’ve done everything we can to be open as much as we can,” Budzynski told the panel. “We want to make sure as much as we can are these results going out as they should.”

Glazier suggested quality control in a lab like the SBI operates may be tainted if it’s done internally and not by unannounced site visits by outside third parties.

New SBI Director Greg McLeod said he and the agency take full responsibility for what he calls “unacceptable practices” both then and now but pointed out a lot has changed and reforms are on-

going in the wake of the report. Extensive tests to determine the presence of blood have now been replaced largely

by DNA testing.

“The crime lab that we have today is not the one that was operating in the (1980s) and ’90s,” McLeod said.

Much of Thursday’s meeting focused upon the process by which the SBI lab is accredited and whether those standards should have prevented or caught the problems with incomplete results.

The lab’s primary accrediting agency, the American Society of Crime Lab Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board, said the standards for reporting analytical work also have become more detailed and expanded compared to those required to be followed in early 1990s. The accrediting agency doesn’t have enough resources to review all lab reports, and the lab’s leaders must be conscientious to reduce the possibility of error, outgoing society President Beth Greene said.

“Accreditation is not a silver bullet,” she said.

The committee is expected to present recommendations to the full General Assembly as it returns to work in late January, but Glazier said it’s possible the panel could keep meeting well into 2011.

White powder found in home of chief’s daughter CHARLOTTE (AP) — Search warrants reveal that detectives searching the apartment of a North Carolina police c h i e f ’ s daughter recovered a stun gun and an unspecified white powder.

T h e search warrants show HAMILTON that Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police detectives also searched the home of a man who left a tavern with 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton, who was the daughter of Concord Police Chief Merl Hamilton.

Interviews with the six roommates who shared a home with accused killer Michael Neal Harvey said he brought home a woman he called Valerie less than an hour later.

Harvey then spent the next day cleaning the house, something a roommate said he never did.

One roommate did not see Hamilton because she had overdosed on heroin and was at the hospital.

Man convicted for killing 2 officers CHARLOTTE (AP) — A jury has convicted a man for killing two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers in

2007.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that Demeatrius Montgomery was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, one day after the jury began deliberations.

Authorities say 34-yearold Sean Clark and 35-yearold Jeff Shelton were responding to a domestic dispute when they were shot outside an apartment complex. Prosecutors contended that Montgomery disliked all Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers.

Montgomery faces life in prison. A judge previously ruled out the death penalty in the case.

Driver charged in SUV attack on woman ASHEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina woman may lose her leg after witnesses say she was hit by a sports utility vehicle driven by another woman who appeared angry that the victim was talking with the motorist’s husband.

Multiple media organizations reported that 23-yearold Amy Nicole Roberts was hurt late Tuesday as she sat on a patio fence behind an Asheville pub.

Robert Gonzales says he saw an SUV pulled up next to Roberts and two male friends. The pub’s cook says the driver squealed the tires as she backed up about 20

feet, accelerated into the fence, then screamed at the injured Roberts.

Police have charged 32year-old Jessica Renee Hall of Candler with assault with a deadly weapon and other offenses. She had no listed telephone number and could not be reached Thursday after posting bond.

NC urged not to close Dorothea Dix Hospital RALEIGH (AP) — Mental health advocates are asking North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue not to close the Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported a coalition of groups delivered a letter to Perdue’s office Wednesday asking that the psychiatric hospital not be essentially closed by the end of the year.

The Wake County Chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, the North Carolina Public Service Workers Union and other groups say the central part of the state doesn’t have enough community-based mental health services.

They say state hospital beds are needed for specialized treatment.

Most patients are being transferred to hospitals in Butner and Goldsboro.

Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler says the state does-

n’t have enough money to keep Dix open.

Researchers use NC ferries to study greenhouse gas MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — Scientists are using North Carolina’s ferries to study the impact of greenhouse gases on Pamlico Sound.

The New & Observer of Raleigh reported that researchers are installing instruments on the ferries to measure how Pamlico Sound absorbs and gives off carbon dioxide.

Hans Paerl with the University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Science says researchers want to see how the sound responds to climate change.

The sound is rich in tiny plants that soak up carbon dioxide, a gas scientists say can contribute to warming the Earth’s atmosphere.

Research ships and commercial vessels have been used for years to study how much carbon dioxide the oceans absorb. But Paerl says not as much information has been available on areas close to shore, where human activities also affect water quality.

FOR UNEMPLOYED

Agency goof snowballs istakes happen, whether we’re talking about government agencies, private businesses or newspapers.

But in the case of the N.C. Employment Security Commission, a mistake in unemployment payments has been compounded through a cascade of bad decisions that has victimized those least able to cope with more stress and uncertainty in their lives, including hundreds in Rowan County. One of those bad decisions occurred this week as the ESC began slashing benefits, in some cases by as much as half, for some longterm unemployed whom it overpaid.

As explained in an earlier Salisbury Post article, here’s the basic background. The state ESC began notifying some unemployment compensation recipients that they had been overpaid and would have to pay the state back. In total, according to the ESC, the erroneous payments went to about 38,000 people, totaling about $28 million accrued over a two-year period.

That’s no small amount of money, and the ESC has created no small amount of confusion — and skepticism — through its strategy for rectifying the error, which it said occurred primarily through a multi-tiered eligibility system that had to be set up when Congress extended unemployment benefits.

It’s confusing because some recipients have received multiple letters, providing different amounts due. In some cases, the letters were not received in the proper order. A state ESC spokesman told the Post that recipients should be patient and wait to see “if you get any more letters,” yet the ESC doesn’t appear to be exercising much patience itself. It has already begun cutting benefits for some recipients, according to the News & Observer of Raleigh. Although the ESC has an appeals process for those wishing to contest cutbacks in their benefits, you have to wonder: If the payment system could be this botched up, how much trust would you place in the ESC’s ability to competently manage the waiver process?

Late Thursday, the benefits agency announced it was working on a plan that would prevent thousands of jobless people from having to return overpayments. At this point, that would be the fair way to resolve things.

These overpayments apparently occurred over a couple of years, through no fault of the recipients. It’s certainly not fair — or realistic — to demand immediate repayment or to drastically reduce the benefits of people who may already be teetering on the brink of homelessness and destitution.

The state ESC can’t undo this mistake.

But it can resolve the situation in a way that doesn’t require thousands of unemployed people to pay the price for the agency’s mishandling of their claims.

BY THE REV. JOHN KING Special to the Salisbury Post

y name is John King. I own the houses located at 310, 312, 318 and 320 E. 11th St., Salisbury. This is a response to the Salisbury Post’s and the city of Salisbury’s intentionally misleading the public with tainted evidence and conflicts of interest. I will list the Post’s yellow journalism and outright untruths by city officials.

1. Salisbury’s Chris Branham took a picture of a pot containing soapy water sitting on a kitchen floor. The toilet in the bathroom works in this house. The city and the Post reporter were aware of this fact before the Post published the picture on its Internet edition with a caption stating that the pot was being used as a waste bucket. They also knew this before Doug Paris made the statement to a reporter, and the Post printed the untruth.

The video of the council meeting proves this when Chris Branham, code enforcer, states that the picture of the pot was taken in the kitchen, but he did not know what was in it. And no one bothered to ask the residents.

With knowledge of the truth, the Post published the

M

picture with the false caption, thereby assisting the city in covering up the fact that this young white man kicked in the door of a 75-year-old black woman without warning, causing her to be transported to the hospital.

The fabrication was brought to the attention of the editorial staff of the Post and the reporter. We waited for a retraction, but none came forth. This shows their intent to defame.

2. The Post published a picture with a caption stating “the ceiling collapses.” This is another outright untruth. The houses in question are “historic” and were built when chimney flues for the kitchen stove were built into the ceiling and the stove pipe was connected to the permanent chimney flue. In the picture published by the Post, the flue remains intact and the picture shows plastic that had been placed over the flue to prevent its sucking out the inside heat. There was no collapsing ceiling in this picture, only a fabrication. Branham was made aware of this and was told that the plastic could be taken down. Yet, in an attempt to cover up the fact that he kicked in doors of unoccupied houses that were under repair, he led the city and the public

to think otherwise.

3. Branham showed City Council pictures of building materials in an unoccupied house under renovation. He stated that since the building materials were combustible, they were a fire hazard to the other residences if it caught fire. This was his basis for it being in violation of the Housing Code. If this is so, then how does any builder get by with combustible materials in houses under construction?

And how does the historical houses that the city “desires” to save get by, like the Blackmer House that sat on Fulton Street for more than 25 years after it had burned? Rather than kicking in the doors, Branham and the Fultonites prevented the owner from demolishing the house for 365 days. Why? It’s their history.

And, the picture that had the light fixture hanging was a room that no one used, was not rented out and was scheduled to be repaired. Furthermore, the fact that the bathroom picture showed that the sink needed to be screwed back onto the wall did not make the bathroom unusable. There was no mold present, and no attempt to determine if the paint scrapes on the wall were mold — only a fabrication to

justify kicking in the doors.

4. Finally, Pete Kennedy’s conflict of interest. He attempted and failed to buy the houses when I was buying them. He later tried his best to get me to sell the houses to him and I refused. So now he’s speaking untruths about repairs done to the houses. I have pictures of the houses when I bought them. Dave Treme was city manager and did not care that a white man was renting the houses out to black folk in a condition much worse than they are today.

Why is it that only what Fulton Street calls historic is preservable? These houses were the homes of poor whites and blacks who slaved for the mill bosses while receiving controlled wages. But of course, this is the part of history that Fulton Street and City Hall want us all to forget.

Yes, the houses needed additional repairs, and they have been completed. And yes, the fabrication of facts to fit the law is necessary for Salisbury’s gentrification process to work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR U.S. prosperity is in danger The moratorium that halted oil drilling in the Gulf may cost upwards of 12,000 U.S. jobs. Yet our government is authorizing a $1 billion bailout to Mexico’s offshore operation so it can keep drilling. The Cantarell field is Pemex Exploración y Producción’s oilfield, in the Gulf of Mexico. Built in the 1980s, it was the largest offshore development in the world. This follows our aid to Petro-Bras (Brazil) for drilling in deeper waters just outside of the Gulf.

Worse yet is cap and trade. JP Morgan Chase (and others), with taxpayer assistance, has invested millions of dollars in wood cook-stoves for use in countries such as Uganda. These stoves put off 30 percent less “carbon,” theoretically warding off global warming.

In return, these corporations receive “carbon credits” from an entity such as The Chicago Climate Exchange (pre-presidency Barack Obama was involved with founding CCX). These credits can be “traded” or sold to U.S. manufacturing plants, which must purchase (through an exchange) credits when they reach their carbon “cap.” The resulting cost increases are passed along to consumers, who then buy fewer products.

Factories slow (shut?) down.

Unemployment rises; manufacturing jobs relocate (China, etc). Uganda gets stoves, China gets jobs, Mexico and Brazil get oil, financial firms show record profits, climate exchanges make millions (trading air!), and (best of all) Democrats can blame greedy big business (and Republicans) for sending manufacturing jobs overseas.

George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund operator, remarked about cap and trade at a London School of Economics seminar in July.

“The system can be gamed.

That’s why financial types like me like it — because

there are financial opportunities.”

This is no longer your grandparent’s Democratic Party. These “progressives” strive for globalization.

They rake in millions while American prosperity is reduced to Third World status.

Vote them out! Vote Republican Nov. 2!

See you at the goal?

Sept. 22 was national See You At The Pole Day. This is the day when middle and high school students nationwide gather at their school’s flag pole to pray.

This is supposed to be a student-led event, without teacher or school administration involvement.

See You at The Pole was designed to be outside, so the world can see young people who have Christian beliefs praying, and hopefully they will be able to testify to their friends about God. The problem with the rally at Erwin Middle School is that the teacheradvisor decided he wanted to have the rally in the gym, hiding. As the students started arriving at Erwin, about 100 or so gathered at the flag pole waiting to get started when the teacher came out and told them all to go to the gym. I asked him why. He said because there were too many kids involved last year.

Well, praise be to God for having so many Christian students in this school.

I told him that the rally was to be at the pole so the world could see what these kids are doing and maybe win some more people to Christ. Most of the group moved inside to the gym, and only about 15 stayed outside with me, my wife and my kids. Thanks to each of you who did stay outside with us and prayed.

Thank you for having the courage to do the right thing and show the world that you are Christians and

not afraid to show it.

I think the Lord for all the Christian students at Erwin Middle School. I pray that this has not ruined a rally for this school.

Can the litter I read with interest the Sept. 20 “My Turn” article

by Rebecca Little. Yes, litter is a real problem for Salisbury and Rowan County. It is ugly and does give a negative impression to visitors (and residents) that Salisbury doesn’t care enough to prevent or clean up this unsightly mess.

Parents are teaching their children that roadsides are trash cans. People should refrain from this by using a small bag in their car for trash or help by taking this trash home to dispose of properly. That would be a good example for your family and a great place to start.

I’d like to propose an idea that could, I believe, help solve this problem with little or no cost to taxpayers — community service. The county is using this service for everything from working at recycling centers to folding towels at the YMCA. Why not add this need (picking up litter) to help clear up this problem? Rowan County could easily assign this task (it would require little training), and it would address an ongoing problem with a constant need to be done.

This is community service that would really be serving our community.

I don’t know about you, but having impacted wisdom teeth extracted is not high on my list of fun things to do. I have been thinking about wisdom teeth lately, because my youngest daughter just had hers taken out a few weeks ago.

Now it seems to me, if these teeth are called wisdom teeth, then they should have enough wisdom to at least come in correctly. But no, they have to come in sideways and impacted.

My youngest daughter is 21 years old, and we have been trying for about three years to get her teeth pulled. She is a brave young lady, when it comes to procedures, but in this case she insisted on being put to sleep.

DICY She said she didn’t MCCULLOUGH want to see or feel anything.

The big event was scheduled to take place early one Friday morning.

The procedure only took about 45 minutes, and it was a relief that everything went well. Although I knew the next few days were going to be hard, at least the teeth were out.

It’s amazing how fast a jaw can swell up and make a person look like a chipmunk. As a parent you don’t want to laugh, because you know your child is suffering, but sometimes, it’s just plain hard not to. The ice packs, attached around the head by a device that looks like a white slingshot, doesn’t help either. There is one good thing about this situation, and that is, hopefully, the patient won’t remember a thing.

The teeth needed to come out not only for health reasons, but also because of the big ticket item called braces. I’m glad technology can help my child look beautiful, but in the meantime, it is sending us to the poor house. Teeth are not the only things sending us to the poor house, though.

This year we opened up our pocketbooks to the four-year institution called college. I just hope whatever wisdom was lost in pulling the wisdom teeth, my beautiful daughter will gain it back in her chosen place of higher learning.

My intentions when writing this story was to share with you the experience of having wisdom teeth pulled, but one thing led to another. My daughter — who, by the way, chose Catawba as her place of higher learning — reminded me that as a writer I should look at the bigger picture.

What is the purpose of this story, and what encouragement does it offer to others, she wanted to know.

I stepped back from the subject at hand and thought for a while. I knew she was right. So, here is my attempt to look at the bigger picture. Providing for a family in this economy can be quite expensive. There are many moms and dads who don’t have enough money to put food on the table, or buy shoes for their children. Their dream is just to have money to pay for the bare necessities. Thinking about the bigger picture, the next time I write a check for the dentist, or the grocery store — or college — I will remember how blessed I am and say, “Thank you.”

Lorene Owens Lentz Jobless folks likely won’t have to return overpayments RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s unemployment benefits agency rolled out a plan late Thursday it hopes will prevent tens of thousands of jobless people from having to return $28 million in overpayments they received by mistake.

The Employment Security Commission said it would work with the U.S. Department of Labor to offset the overpayments given out because of administrative errors between January and May. The labor department also has pledged to review claims in an accelerated method that could prevent any of the unemployed from having to return the money, according to the commission.

The commission began sending out letters last week to about 38,000 people who were out of work for at least a year who were either overpaid or underpaid through no fault of their own. About 15 percent of recipients were underpaid and will be eligible for additional benefits. Others could face their benefits being reduced.

The plan, announced after commission leaders met with Gov. Beverly Perdue, also will extend hours at the commission’s call center and the state working with the federal government to offset the money. Perdue spoke with assistant labor secretary Jane Oates about the matter.

“I sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience caused to our citizens over this issue,” commission Chairwoman Lynn Holmes said in a prepared statement.

“I could have done a better job communicating this error, and the resolution of the error, to our beneficiaries.”

The commission said this week the improper payments are the result of the ESC pulling compensation checks from the wrong funding sources and thus overdrawing some accounts, not the result of incorrectly calculating individuals’ benefits.

The commission said it has paid $5.4 billion in unemployment compensation to 920,000 North Carolina residents in the year ending in August.

Richard 'Dick' Gregg Singer RALEIGH — Richard “Dick” Gregg Singer, passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 29, 2010.

He was born Jan. 1, 1943, to Dr. and Mrs. C. Gregg Singer, both who preceded him in death. Dick attended public schools in both Mississippi and North Carolina, and received his undergraduate degree as well as his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Following law school, he clerked for Judge Earl Vaughn of the North Carolina Court of Appeals. He began his own practice in 1968 with the law firm of Terry Sanford, and he remained a close friend of Gov. Sanford until the governor's death. Dick was active in Gov. Sanford's campaigning for his run for the presidency.

Dick was known throughout the North Carolina legal community as an old school lawyer. His word was his bond and he valued his principles above gain.

Dick married Mary Ann Brown of Lexington, and they enjoyed 45 years of love, friendship and mutual respect. He was not demonstrative with his emotions, but his deep love for Mary Ann, his daughters and grandchildren was apparent to all.

He was a member of White Memorial Presbyterian Church, an active member of the Carolina Country Club and its 19th Hole Gin Rummy Club and an enthusiastic golfer both with his friends and his wife.

Dick is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; his daughter, Laura Singer Park and husband Roy Hampton Park III of Charlotte and their children, Elizabeth Sumner, Roy “Hampton” IV, Lawson Brooks and Cameron Parham; his daughter Anna Elizabeth Singer and her daughter, Elizabeth “Ella” Adams; sister Mrs. Terri S. Speicher of Dallas; sister Jean (Mr. and Mrs. Jerry L. Satterwhite) of Birmingham, Ala.; and brother Bob (Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Singer) of Oak Ridge, N.C. Service and Visitation: A memorial service will be held at White Memorial Presbyterian Church on Oberlin Road in Raleigh at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 2. A gathering of family and friends will be held after the service in the Jane Bell Gathering Space at the church.

No new charges in case of girl found slain

Jeff Schaap gives Lucy a treat over the redesigned floor in the front room that used wood from the original house.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A Cumberland County prosecutor is not going to file criminal charges against local social services workers who handled the case of a young girl who was killed.

Multiple media outlets reported that District Attorney Ed Grannis was critical Thursday of the county’s department of social services and the State Bureau of Investigation, which examined the

case. Grannis said the local DSS “dropped the ball” when it came to helping police during the investigation.

The mother of 5-year-old Shaniya Davis is charged with child abuse involving prostitution. The girl was taken from a mobile home park in November and later found dead alongside a road. Mario Andrette McNeill is charged with kidnapping, rape and murder.

something has been reclassified to be public record, that you could request it, even if it was written a couple of years ago,” she said. “This is such a strange area. ... I just don’t know how I think the courts or the attorney general is going to come down on that.”

N.C. Rep. Lorene Coates said when she voted for the bill, which was signed into law Aug. 2, her understanding was that it would be retroactive.

“It would apply to current

employees’ past and future” records, Coates said. “I supported that.”

But Rowan County Manager Gary Page said that’s not what county staff members have been preparing for.

“We haven’t really talked about it being retroactive,” Page said Thursday. “We just talked about it going from tomorrow forward.”

He said if the attorney general says it does apply to records made prior to today, the county will comply with

the law. Government agencies that deny access to public records can now be held responsible for all legal costs if someone successfully sues for them.

The ethics law also strengthens penalties for violating campaign contribution limits, creates stricter rules for lobbying and makes campaign contributions and fundraising more transparent.

But Martin added the law could be considered a reclassification of existing records, all of which would then be accessible under the public records law.

CHAPEL HILL — Attorneys for former North Carolina assistant coach John Blake say there was nothing seedy about loans their client received from longtime friend and sports agent Gary Wichard and there was never an arrangement to direct players to Wichard once they left for the NFL. Florida-based attorney William H. Beaver II said Wichard was trying to help Blake, who encountered financial trouble after being fired as the head coach at Oklahoma a dozen years ago.

Carson volleyball sweeps W. Rowan

B e a v e r wouldn’t specify how much money and said no funds were provided in the past three years or so, roughly BLAKE the around same time that Blake was preparing for his first season with Butch Davis and the Tar Heels.

“Regardless of the loans or the amounts, there was nothing wrong with one good friend assisting another,” Beaver said Thursday.

FRIDAY October 1, 2010

Marissa Sellers is one of the Cougars’ seniors.

MOUNT ULLA — Carson f r e s h m a n Carson 3 Michaela White W. Rowan 0 didn’t have a volleyball bouncing around in her crib, but she did get a much earlier start in the sport than most Rowan girls.

“Third grade,” the tall setter said. “And I love the sport.”

White’s physical talent is the equal of her affection for volleyball, and she already may be the county’s MVP. She sat down for most of the final game but had 12 assists, six

kills, three aces and 16 service points as the Cougars breezed past NPC opponent West Rowan 25-8, 25-4, 25-17 on Thursday.

“Michaela’s so WHITE flexible,” Carson hitter Allison Blackwell said. “She can hit, she can set, she can serve.

She’s just really good.”

White is stepping into the setting shoes of Taylor Whitley, the county co-player of the year who is now doing well at Guilford.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER

Friday Night Drye used combo of size and speed lways a big man, China Grove legend Carl Drye enjoyed shocking people with how light on his feet he was in sports where size provided no advantage.

“Carl was somewhere between 250 and 275 pounds in high school, and they just didn’t grow ’em that big in the 1950s,” said Richard MIKE LONDON Snider, Drye’s longtime buddy. “But Carl wasn’t just good in football, baseball and basketball. He was good at badminton and bowling. He was a great Ping-Pong player.”

Drye is remembered mostly for football. He lettered at guard for Duke in 1958.

But he also recalls scoring 29 points against A.L. Brown in basketball, and he was talented enough to also play baseball at Duke.

Actually, he didn’t just play baseball. The big guy played second base, a position usually manned by guys 100 pounds lighter.

Drye still remembers his debut at Duke baseball practice. The coach of the Blue Devils was Clarence “Ace” Parker, a multi-sport hero who was the best badminton player Drye ever saw. Parker had also been the MVP of the NFL in 1940 as well as a big-league baseball player.

North Rowan’s Sam Starks, left, tries to pull away from Carson’s Darius Gardner. North plays host to East Montgomery tonight.

Homecoming has its pitfalls Roaming the county getting ready for tonight ... ootball coaches always look at that schedule for homecoming week.

Then, they try to figure out a way for their kids to have fun while remembering there’s a football game Friday.

North Rowan’s Tasker Fleming and West Rowan’s Scott Young have faced that RONNIE this week.

GALLAGHER Parades, floats, spirit day, pep rallies, kings, queens ... you name it.

If those distractions aren’t enough, it’s a teacher’s workday today.

F

Kids aren’t even on campus.

“It’s tough,” Fleming said.

“They’ve got kings and queens on their mind. I don’t like playing when you’re out of school.”

But after a 4 p.m. parade, Fleming’s team is going to get a good pregame meal and then go out confident it can defeat East Montgomery.

West Rowan is facing West Iredell.

“It’s a little different this year,” Young said. “I’ve never dealt with homecoming when we’re out of school. There’s a few more hurdles.”

How does he keep the focus?

“You just dial them in during practice,” Young said.

There’s another reason for the Falcons to stay fo-

Games at 7:30 P.M.

Carson at East Rowan West Iredell at West Rowan E. Montgomery at North Rowan South Rowan at North Iredell A.L. Brown at Central Cabarrus cused. They’ve got a 36-game winning streak on the line. 

Young is always quick to point out that West Iredell seems to give the Falcons one of their toughest tests every

year. Mark Weycker’s Warriors always have athletes, as East’s Chad Tedder will tell you after his Mustangs were beaten 49-6 last week.

East is 1-5 heading into tonight’s home game against Carson (5-1). But Tedder swears his team is still pumped up about putting on that uniform.

“We had one of the best practices we’ve had on Monday,” Tedder said. “The kids really had a good time. They were jumping around doing all the right things. We’re not throwing in the towel.

We have a lot of seniors, and they have a lot of pride.”

Tedder said he expects a good game — East beat Carson 29-26 in the most entertaining one of last season.

“Coach asked me what position I played,” Drye said. “I told him second base.”

Ace’s response was unprintable, but it was four letters and rhymes with spit.

“I told him to hit me some balls and he’d find out,” Drye said.

“He took me out on the field, and he must have hit 500 balls at me and I DRYE haven’t missed one yet. Finally, he threw the bat down and said, ‘Well, I guess you can play second base.’ ” The cafe at P.J. Miller’s hotel was the place to eat in China Grove in the 1950s.

“Carl and I would go there because you got a meat, drink and three vegetables for 68 cents,” Snider said. “We’d order two plates each.”

Miller’s was noted for its coconut pies — thick, creamy slices of heaven that attracted a wide following. On his recruiting ventures, Duke football coach Bill Murray discovered Miller’s and considered the coconut pie there to be the world’s finest.

Miller’s was thrilled to have one of the nation’s most successful coaches as a fan, so whenever Drye came home from Duke, he was always entrusted with a pie to take back to his coach.

Common Sense hopes to bounce back from bad week ommon Sense staggered to an 8-3 mark on last Friday’s picks, lowering the Post’s selfesteem and lowering the season record to 32-8.

A trio of misses used to mean the Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas, but this trio of misses was Statesville-Carson, Davie-Salisbury and Cox Mill-Mount Pleasant.

Two of the inaccurate forecasts died on lethal, last-minute bombs.

Chalk up the other loss to Common Sense failing to get the memo that

C

Cox Mill had become a football power in its second season.

Brian Pitts, sports editor of the Davie Enterprise, was certain Jared Barber, Davie’s star linebacker, wouldn’t play against Salisbury because of medical concerns. That information persuaded Common Sense to pick Salisbury over Davie in a tossup game.

Fortunately for Davie, Barber did play about half the defensive snaps, and he made 15 tackles. It’s like Brian Urlacher was putting on an or-

ange jersey every other series.

If Barber doesn’t play, Salisbury likely wins and Common Sense looks a little smarter.

Pitts was thrilled to see Barber reBARBER turn— doctors released the West Virginia commitment the day of the game — but Pitts apologized for any influence he had on the er-

roneous pick.

“Common Sense can put an asterisk next to that one,” Pitts said.

No biggie. It’s a miss we can live with, and we’re glad Barber made the cut, so to speak. He’s an awesome player, and now he gets a week off to get healthier.

Big news was quietly made by West Rowan coach Scott Young, who logged his 125th career victory Friday.

Allison to make USAR debut

BY HUNTER THOMAS sports@salisburypost.com

Justin Allison is scheduled to race in the USARacing Pro Cup Series (USAR) and the Pro All Star Series (PASS) within the next three weeks.

On Sunday, Allison will make his debut in the Matt Lofton owned, ALLISON No. 07 Strutt Masters USAR car at North Wilkesboro Speedway in the Brushy Mountain 250. Allison has wrestled the historic speedway

in the PASS car but has never clocked any laps in an USAR car.

“The track time, I think, would be an advantage, but I don’t know about the seat time because I have never driven a pro cup car before,: Allison said. “I raced the super late model and the legacy car there a month or two ago.”

Allison has learned that he needs to save his equipment if he wants to pull into victory lane at North Wilkesboro. In the PASS race earlier this year, he brought the car home with all of the fenders still on it and finished 11th.

On October 16, Allison will be racing at Newport Speedway in the Renfore-owned PASS car.

This will be his second start at the speedway this year in a PASS car.

He finished 11th on Aug. 7. He also finished fifth in the Allison Legacy Series that weekend.

“It would be nice to come out of there with a top five,” Allison said, “and I think I can finish there.”

It will be Allison’s fourth PASS race this year. He finished 17th at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on July 2. He also qualified third and finished 11th at North Wilkesboro on Sept. 4.

Saturday, the USAR cars will start practicing at North Wilkesboro at 10:50 a.m. The final practice will take place at 1:30 p.m.

Qualifying will take place at 4:30 p.m. The race will start at 2 p.m. on Sunday. For more info, visit www.historicnws.com or usarprocup.com

VOLLEYBALL FROM 1B White’s older sisters Jac (West Rowan) and MacKenzie (West, Carson) were exceptional high school athletes in multiple sports before going on to Catawba, and Michaela has obviously learned from watching.

“I’m somewhat surprised things have gone the way they have,” she said. “But hard work will usually pay off.”

While the present is good for the Cougars (18-4, 8-1), the future is expected to be even better.

Against West Rowan, White usually was setting up three sophomore mashers — Blackwell, Aimee Cloninger and southpaw Sidney Grkman.

“We lost so much last year that we’re supposed to be rebuilding, but we don’t ever want to rebuild,” said demanding coach Kelan Rogers, whose program lost four players who are seeing action as college freshmen. “We want to keep pushing. That’s the plan, anyway.”

Carson won 22 games in Rogers’ first season at the school and can top that this time.

His strategy to compete with the traditional Iredell powers calls for a demanding non-conference schedule.

That explains why the Cougars journeyed to Boonville on

PERRINE

Wednesday to take on Starmount (16-6) for the third time this season. Carson staved off game point seven times to survive Game 1 and went on to take a marathon match in a cancer benefit that had both squads clad in pink.

“Starmount was great competition, definitely fun,” White said.

The competition wasn’t as stiff from West Rowan, which is still looking for its first league win.

“Carson’s good, and it’s hurt us that we’ve had to use a lot of different rotations, like a hundred of them,” said West junior Sarah Perrine, a softball star.

“We played great recently against West Iredell, probably our best match all year. We didn’t do as well today, but we’re trying our best and this is still a lot of fun.”

Blackwell didn’t play in the last game and finished with nine kills to lead Carson. Cloninger had six kills and four blocks.

Jordan Whitley came off the bench for seven kills. Angela Talerico served for 12 points, while senior libero Leah Perkins led in digs with seven.

did a good job blocking at fullback and the line blocked well.

Hill, White and Kris Smith had two-point conversions.

A-Rod Kennerly threw TD passes of 70 yards to Davonta Steele and 32 yards to Qwan Rhyne.

Steele had a 58-yard scoring run. Jose Sanchez kicked a PAT. Grex Urey, Alex Parham and Burke Fulcher led the Yellow Jackets defensively.  North Rowan remained unbeaten with a 22-0 win over China Grove.

Sakil Harrison scored touchdowns on runs of 43, 61 and 34 yards for the Mavericks (4-0).

Kenyaun Covey was 4-for-5 passing for 90 yards.

Andra Cowan, Trae Clark, Jereke Chambers, Sharriff Walker and Shilhem Saunders led the offense, while Chambers, Walker, Mike Dyson, Jarius Miles and Dylan Riley led the defense.

North plays Corriher-Lipe next week.  West Rowan rushed for 145 yards, added a strong defensive effort and beat Southeast 38-8.

Marquez McCain had rushing touchdowns of 7 and 11 yards and a 56-yard punt return for a score.

Alex Archie ran for a score and threw a 16-yard scoring pass to M.J. Rayner. Kermit Alexander had a 65-yard run for a touchdown for the Bulldogs (3-1).

McCain scored two two-point conversions, and Desmin Jones, Ben Kluttz and Brendon Foil had one each. Shakir Simmons and Kevin Gaillard combined for 61 rushing yards.

Defensive leaders included Brandon Lottes and DaVon Steele, while offensive leaders included Clint Euchner, Denny Triche and Bo Cannup.

 Corbin Hills golf The Corbin Hills Ladies competed in their annual two-day Judy Cristman Fall Club Championship Golf Tournament.

Becky Isenhour won the championship flight. Beth Calhour and Susan Morris followed.

Mary Seaford won the first flight, with Ruth Bowles second and Bev Cobb third.

Winner of the second flight was Eileen Full with Joy Maughmer taking second and Anna Robinson placing third.

Carson scored the last nine points of Game 1. Then it ran off 18 straight points in Game 2, mostly with White serving.

West got two kills from Breeann Lambert and some nice digs from Lambert and Perrine to be more competitive in Game 3. The Falcons led 13-10 before Cloninger, Whitley and Grkman decided it was time to go home.

“We’ve got a young team with a lot to grow on,” West coach Rodney Harrington said. “We showed a no-quit attitude in that last game, and as long as we do that and stay positive, I’m happy.”

Carson’s next game will be its biggest of the season. Undefeated North Iredell, which has been rolling over everyone, visits the Carson gym on Tuesday.

North Iredell pounded the Cougars in Olin for their only league loss, and Carson has to win to keep alive any chance of tying for the conference championship.

“We played a lot better this week than last week,” Rogers said. “If we get our minds right, we can make it a good game.”

Blackwell understands the challenge. North Iredell hasn’t dropped a game yet, much less a match.

“We’ve been up and down all year, but we can’t be up and down against North Iredell,” she said.

“We have to play like we did against Starmount. We have to pick up every ball and every pass has to be to target.”

Mohammed stays put despite difficult start

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

WILMINGTON — It wasn’t even a year and a half ago that Nazr Mohammed was so frustrated at being buried on the bench by Bobcats coach Larry Brown that he wanted out of Charlotte.

Brown replied that he tried to trade Mohammed but no found no takers.

Now, after the departures of Emeka Okafor and Tyson Chandler, the 33-year-old Mohammed is not only still around, he’s Brown’s starting center.

Mohammed smiled and shook his head this week when asked what if someone had suggested this scenario in April 2009.

“I would have told you it was crazy, that I really thought something was wrong with you,” he said. “I did not think I would last this long and definitely not starting. That was a rough, rough year for me mentally.”

Mohammed was surprised at how he was received when Brown took over as Bobcats coach because this was their second time together. Brown was in Philadelphia in 1998 when the 76ers acquired the former Kentucky big man shortly after Utah drafted him in the first round.

“I kind of thought that he knew what I brought to the team,” Mohammed said. “But it had been so long since I played for him. I didn’t play much for him in my earlier years. Years had passed. I thought he knew, but I just had to reintroduce myself to him.”

The Hall of Fame coach wasn’t impressed. After being a part-time starter a year earlier, Mohammed appeared in only 39 games in 2008-09 and averaged 2.7 points and 2.0 rebounds.

Mohammed’s big contract made him difficult to trade, so he embarked on a rigid offseason conditioning program and came to training camp last year determined to win over Brown.

It didn’t work right way.

“When he got to play early I thought he was terrible,” Brown said.

Part of the problem is the 6-foot-10 Mohammed doesn’t do the things Brown likes from a center. He’s not extremely athletic, lacks a big wingspan and isn’t an intimidating shot-blocker.

“You know what his prototypical center is, and I know I’m not his prototypical cen-

ter,” Mohammed said. “But I know that you don’t play 13 years in this league without being able to do some good things out on the floor.”

That includes being a consistent scorer with a soft touch and an effective rebounder.

He was also in great shape after his offseason workouts.

Mohammed slowly started to come on. In the same week in early February he had 23 points and 17 rebounds against the Los Angeles Lakers and 21 points and 20 rebounds against Minnesota.

“Maybe he got in better shape,” Brown said. “Maybe he got stronger. But before he got hurt he was playing better than at any time I’ve ever seen. He tried to defend. He ran the floor, and he earned the right to play.”

But Mohammed hurt his back in late February. It took weeks before it was determined to be a nerve problem.

Mohammed didn’t play again until April 7, and by then Charlotte had acquired veteran Theo Ratliff, who started at center for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

Then Ratliff wasn’t resigned and the Bobcats traded Chandler — who was acquire a year earlier for Okafor — to Dallas for Erick Dampier. Charlotte initially wanted to waive Dampier and re-sign him, but he declined the offer and Dampier was let go.

That leaves Mohammed, DeSagana Diop and the injured Kwame Brown as Charlotte’s centers. And Larry Brown still isn’t quite sure Mohammed is his guy. He said of Mohammed and Diop this week that “the things that I want a center to do are difficult for them.”

“It’s hard sometimes, but at the same time coach respects what I do,” Mohammed said.

“He’s told me many, many times he was real happy with how I played last year and I do deserve an opportunity.”

Mohammed is healthy and appears in great shape again.

Beginning his 13th season, he adds some perspective on his ups and downs in the NBA and with the demanding Brown.

“You keep pushing and don’t just sit over there sulking and bringing the team down, getting out of shape,” Mohammed said. “No one wants to be around a guy like that.”

Added Brown: “I don’t want anybody on my team who doesn’t want to play. The reality is, and Nazr figured it out, you’ve got to be prepared for when your turn happens.”

LeBron’s manager: Race played role in coverage Associated Press

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. — LeBron James’ manager said he believes race played a factor in how the two-time reigning NBA MVP’s decision to join the Miami Heat was covered this summer.

Maverick Carter did not cite specifics when talking to CNN for a story that aired Wednesday, other than saying race “definitely played a role in some of the stuff coming out of the media” during coverage of James’ free-agent saga.

It’s not the first time race has been a discussion point in the aftermath of what was called “The Decision,” an oftcriticized televised special that raised $3 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

“I think people are looking

too far into it,” James said.

“But at the same time, sometimes it does play a part in it.

I’ve said what I had to say, and I’ll continue to move on.”

LAKERS EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Los Angeles waived guard Anthony Roberson and center Russell Hicks hours before embarking on a European tour.

Injured center Andrew Bynum is the only player who definitely won’t play in Europe.

PACERS INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana picked up the team option on center Roy Hibbert’s contract, meaning he is signed through next season.

RAPTORS TORONTO — The Raptors exercised the third-year team option on swingman DeMar DeRozan’s rookie scale deal.

Giants clinch tie for division title Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Bochy has said all along the NL West race would probably come down to the season’s final weekend — and it will.

His San Francisco Giants have put themselves in prime position: They need only one victory against visiting San Diego in their season-ending three-game series to win the division.

Pablo Sandoval hit a splash shot into McCovey Cove, Andres Torres and Buster Posey also homered and the Giants beat Arizona 4-1 on Thursday, moving them closer to their first NL West crown since 2003.

Torres’ go-ahead, solo homer in the fifth helped South Caldwell High graduate Madison BUMGARNER Bumgarner (7-6) earn his first home victory in eight tries.

San Francisco’s win, coupled with San Diego’s 1-0 loss to Chicago later Thursday, left the Giants’ magic number to win the division at one. Even if the Padres sweep this weekend’s threegame series in San Francisco, the teams would be tied for the title.

Bumgarner had been 0-3 at home with a 4.95 ERA before Thursday. He struck out seven and walked one in five innings, allowing seven hits and one run.

Bumgarner has allowed only five earned runs in his last 38 innings over his last six starts.

“It feels pretty good,” he said of the team’s spot. “We’re going to try to get it tomorrow, but we’re not penciled in yet.”

Cubs 1, Padres 0 SAN DIEGO — Brad Snyder hit an RBI single off Heath Bell with one out in the ninth, pushing the Padres to the cusp of elimination from the playoff race.

The loss reduced Atlanta’s magic number for clinching the wild card to two.

The Padres have lost 22 of 34 games since Aug. 25, when they had a 61⁄2-game lead over the Giants in the NL West.

Reds 9, Astros 1 CINCINNATI — Drew Stubbs homered and drove in four runs to help the Cincinnati Reds stay alive in the race for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Central Division champions are two games behind San Francisco in the race to finish with the league’s secondbest record behind Philadelphia.

Cardinals 6, Rockies 1 ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter threw his first complete game of the season.

Carpenter (16-9) snapped a fourgame losing streak — during which he posted a 7.17 ERA — with a four-hitter.

The Rockies have lost 10 of 11.

Brewers 9, Mets 2 NEW YORK — Casey McGehee got to 100 RBIs in the eighth on one of several sloppy plays by the Mets and Corey Hart reached 100 RBIs two batters later.

Marlins 11, Pirates 9 MIAMI — Mike Stanton homered and drove in five runs for the Marlins.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Royals 3, Rays 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack Greinke pitched seven sharp innings, and Tampa Bay dropped into a first-place tie with the New York Yankees.

Rangers 3, Angels 2 ARLINGTON, Texas — Vladimir Guerrero drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth and Cliff Lee pitched seven innings in his final tuneup before the playoffs.

Nelson Cruz, who had three hits, doubled to right and stole third on a pitch in the dirt with one out in the eighth. Guerrero lined a single to left off reliever Jordan Walden (0-1) to give Texas the lead.

Scott Kazmir made his final start of the season. He is 2-10 since June 24.

Blue Jays 13, Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Jose Bautista hit home runs No. 53 and 54, including a grand slam, and the Toronto Blue Jays went deep six times in a victory over the stumbling Twins.

Edwin Encarnacion hit two homers and Jose Molina and Travis Snider added long balls for the big-swinging Blue Jays, who have hit 253 homers this season, the fourth-highest total in baseball history.

Francisco Liriano (14-10) gave up five runs and six hits, including three homers, with six strikeouts in 51⁄3 innings in his final start before the playoffs. The lefthander is scheduled to start Game 1 of the ALDS on Wednesday at Target Field.

White Sox 8, Red Sox 2 CHICAGO — Paul Konerko hit a grand slam that wrecked Jon Lester’s bid for his 20th win, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox in a game delayed because of a power failure.

The game was held up for 21 minutes in the sixth inning when most of the stadium lights went out. A power outage in the area was the cause.

Konerko connected for his 39th homer of the season and the ninth grand slam of his career. The fourth-inning shot off Lester made it 6-2.

Lester (19-9) made his final start of the season.

NOTE MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota slugger Justin Morneau will be watching the first round of the AL playoffs from the bench.

He is still holding out hope to have a more active role should the Twins advance to the AL championship series.

Morneau, who has been out since July 7 because of a concussion, took early batting practice and some ground balls on Thursday evening before the start of the final series of the regular season.

East Rowan Pressley  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: Carson 5-1, 0-1 NPC; East 1-5, 0-1 NPC  Series: East leads 2-1  Last meeting: East won 29-26 in China Grove in 2009  Last time Carson won in the series: Cougars rolled 33-21 in 2008  Last week: Carson fell to Statesville 41-34 in the closing seconds; East was thumped 49-6

by West Iredell in its NPC opener  Next week: Carson is home against West Rowan; East Rowan plays host to Statesville  Game notes: Carson shouldn’t stay tied for last place in the NPC for long. The Cougars have a ton of f i r e power. Even in losing in heartbreaking fashion last week, they amassed 511 yards of offense.

Shaun Warren is rushing for an amazing 246 yards per game. The uncommitted senior already has 1,477 rushing yards. To put that in perspective, West Rowan’s K.P.

Sherman

Parks had 1,314 yards after six games last season.

Zack Gragg has thrown for 754 yards, third-best in the county, while Cody Clanton continues to be the county’s dominant receiver with 27 catches for 524 yards and six TDs. Youngster K.J. Pressley has emerged as another receiving option. He has caught 14 balls.

Carson’s defense has been riddled for 567 passing yards the past two weeks, but the Mustangs may not be able to exploit that avenue.

They’ve thrown for just 123 yards with one TD pass and eight picks.

East has scored 43 points all season, while Carson has topped 40 in three games. East’s super 2009 season peaked with a dramatic win at Carson, but it’s hard to see East hanging with the Cougars this time.

Senior quarterback Jamey Blalock remains East’s top offensive threat.

Based on his name, Everett sounds like he should be getting ready for tennis season, but he rushed for 291 yards in a win against Wheatmore, has a second 200-yard game to his credit and has run back a kickoff for a touchdown.

East Montgomery’s four wins have come against teams generally ranked in the bottom 50 of North Carolina’s 401 football-playing schools.

The Eagles beat Monroe’s Central Academy (1-4), Union Academy (0-4) and Wheatmore (1-5) before sneaking past South Davidson (0-5) last week.

East Montgomery’s loss was by a 38-21 score to Providence Grove (3-3), a 2A team that appears to be on the same level as North Rowan.

It’s unlikely East Montgomery has seen anyone to date as fearsome as North defensive lineman Javon Hargrave.

North promised a return of “The Airport” this season, and head coach Tasker Fleming, quarterbacks coach Bobby Myers, sophomore QB T.J. Allen and receivers Sam Starks and Pierre Givens have made it happen.

Allen is completing 54 percent of his passes. He has 739 passing yards and six TDs. — Mike London

 Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: South Rowan 1-5, 0-1 NPC; North Iredell 1-4, 0-0 NPC  Series: South has won all seven meetings.  Last meeting: South demolished North Iredell 63-0 in 2009, one of the easiest wins it’s ever had  History: The schools met for the first time in 1973. Only one game — South’s 27-20 victory in that first meeting — has been decided by fewer than three TDs. South has outscored North Iredell 263-36 in the series with three shutouts.  Last week: South was battered 66-7 by West Rowan; in a mildly surprising result, previously winless North Iredell prevailed 17-14 at previously unbeaten West Lincoln  Next week: Both teams will play West Iredell in their next game. South has its open date next before taking on the Warriors on Oct. 15; North Iredell is at West Iredell next Friday  Game notes: South has to pick

by West Rowan last week. South handled a loss to West Rowan in its league opener exceptionally well in 2009, rebounding to win five straight NPC games to take second place.

South did show something by scoring when it was down 64-0 against West, and coach Jason Rollins is optimistic a late spark provided by young players such as LB Bubba McLaughlin and OL Devin Mason will carry over to tonight’s long road trip.

This is a game South has to win if it’s going to do anything at all. It has traditionally crushed North Iredell — it was 49-0 at halftime in 2009 — but NI will have adrenaline flowing after winning dramatically last week.

It’s going to believe it can win again after viewing film of South turning the ball over repeatedly against West.

Antwoine Jordan, a senior last season, had a career game with 171 rushing yards.  Streaks: Brown’s last loss to Northwest Cabarrus came in 1976.

Since then, the Wonders haven’t lost to a Cabarrus team other than Concord. Central, Jay M.

Three quarterbacks combined to go 7-for-7 through the air, while backs Demetrius Jackson and Damien Washington ran wild.

R.J. Gill, fifth on the running back depth chart when the season began, contributed 44 yards and a TD. Defensively, Brown gave up yards and points late but dominated for three quarters.

Central is much better this season than in 2009, but it’s still been outscored 180-35. Three of the Vikings’ losses are to unbeaten teams. — Mike London

West Rowan owns 36 straight victories overall since losing to Davie early in the 2008 season.

The Falcons have won 22 straight home games since they fell to North Gaston in the 2007 playoffs.  Last week: West Iredell rolled 49-6 over East Rowan; West Rowan pounded South Rowan 66-7  Next week: West Iredell is home against North Iredell; West Rowan goes to Carson  Game notes: West Iredell will

come in looking to throw it around against the Falcons, and that’s probably smart. West Rowan will always stop the run cold, so you may as well put it in the air and see what happens. West Iredell often lines up with five wide receivers and will even put four of them on the same side of the field for a unique look.

As always, the Warriors have quality athletes. QB Sayer Robinson threw for 200 yards against East last week, and C.J. Gibbs caught seven passes for 105 yards.

Defensive back Kam Summers has four interceptions. Hunter Blohm is an excellent kicker.

West Rowan has been staggeringly good to date, averaging 40-plus points a game while allowing 2.1.

The Falcons cover well in the s e c ondary and generally get a great pass rush from Emmanuel Gbunblee and a supporting cast that includes Maurice Warren and Justin Teeter. — Mike London

Young, who is still young despite celebrating a birthday last Thursday, is 125-37 and tied for third all-time when it comes to Rowan County coaching victories. He’s in his 13th season.

If the Falcons win their 37th game in a row tonight, Young will move past Hall of Famer Larry Thomason, who was 125-69 in 19 seasons at North Rowan. Thomason had only two losing seasons in his long tenure.

Young also figures to breeze past Hall of Famer Bill Ludwig’s win total later this season. Ludwig was 129-67-11 at Boyden.

Ludwig missed two full seasons and most of another due to World War II. Other than that, he coached Boyden from 1935-1958. His teams won state titles in 1955 and 1957 while competing against the big boys in the state’s highest classification.

Recognized as Rowan County’s alltime coaching wizard is Hall of Famer Spencer W. Lancaster, who guided J.C. Price, Salisbury’s black school during segregation, for 29-plus seasons. Lancaster’s 183-50-15 record included state titles in 1940 (11-0, with zero points allowed) and 1952.

Price also went unbeaten in 1951, but it scrapped to two scoreless ties and didn’t get an opportunity to play for a state championship.

Assuming West Rowan continues to win every game and Young continues to coach, he’ll tie Lancaster’s county record for victories the same day the Falcons celebrate winning their sixth consecutive state championship in December of 2013.

Finally, Pete Stout, a Rowan Hall of Famer, has to be mentioned in any discussion of the county’s top coaches.

Stout logged 234 head-coaching victories in his career, including great runs at Burlington Williams and Morganton Freedom.

Stout’s record coaching Boyden and Salisbury teams from 1966-75 was 83-20-10, good for seventh on the all-time county wins list.

Others in the top 10 are Roger Secreast (5th, 115-72), W.A. Cline (6th, 95-86-3), Reid Bradshaw (8th, 78-48-3), Larry Deal (9th, 73-58) and Hall of Famer Lope Linder (10th, 73-88-7).

Salisbury’s Joe Pinyan (68-31) is likely to break into the top 10 before the end of the season, but he can’t add to his total tonight. The Hornets are off.

Tedder worked under Carson assistant Barry Mitchem when Mitchem was the head coach at West Davidson. And Tedder has coached against Carson when he was a Green Dragons assistant. Also making this game interesting is the fact realignment took some of the East Rowan kids to Carson when it opened in 2006.

“I’m familiar with Carson,” Tedder said. “But right now, we’re worried about East Rowan and how we come out to play.” 

Why is Carson’s Mark Woody one of our favorite coaches? The guy has class.

Carson lost 41-34 to Statesville last week after a roughing the punter penalty with a little over a minute left led to the Greyhounds’ winning score.

Afterward, Woody made no excuses. He didn’t blame anyone for the penalty, instead saying it was just kids trying to make a play with plenty of adrenaline flowing.

The game was over. Time to move on. And you can bet Woody will have the Cougars motivated tonight.  JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

South’s Mark McDaniel, left, and Clay Wilson come together to catch a kickoff.

The picks: West Rowan 34, West Iredell 14 West Iredell generally makes the Falcons sweat a little, but Young should get win No. 126.

South Rowan 27, North Iredell 17 Common Sense says Mark McDaniel won’t let South lose to North Iredell.

It would be win No. 22 for South coach Jason Rollins.

Carson 35, East Rowan 14 Shaun “He’s Gone” Warren should have another 250-yard night and Carson coach Mark Woody should get the 16th victory of his career.

Even Allen Iverson never carried the ball as frequently as Warren (Common Sense doesn’t care for

NBA officiating).

Warren had 43 rushing attempts last week.

North Rowan 19, East Montgomery 7 Not saying it’ll be a thing of beauty, but North coach Tasker Fleming should rack up his eighth win in Spencer.

It has been a struggle on the field — and off — for East Rowan.

Earlier in the season, defensive player Devon Cowan wasn’t feeling well.

“We thought it was dehydration,” Tedder said. “They did some blood work and couldn’t figure it out. They did more blood work and couldn’t figure it out.”

Intensive tests were done, and it turned out to be leukemia. Tedder said Cowan — listed as a 6-foot-1, 200-pounder — is in Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte until at least midOctober.

Wolfpack won’t face Williams

Play of DTs helping Panthers Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers defensive tackle rotation looks nothing like what the team thought it would be this offseason and is drastically different from what it was a year ago.

But the position that was one of the biggest question marks entering camp has turned out to be one of the few positives for the 0-3 Panthers. Carolina has limited opponents to just 3.1 yards per carry behind unexpected starters Ed Johnson and Derek Landri. The backups LANDRI are Nick Hayden and undrafted rookie Andre Neblett.

“Right now, they’ve done a pretty good job,” coach John Fox said Thursday. “We’re 14th in defense and sixth per play, and we’ve been out there (on the field) quite a bit. So as a unit, they’re all playing pretty hard and playing pretty tough.”

The Panthers traded away fifth- and sixround draft picks for Tank Tyler and Louis Leonard last year but have since cut both.

Tyler was the big surprise on cut down day, while Leonard was released Tuesday after the team’s 0-3 start because he wasn’t producing.

Those decisions came on the heels of an offseason in which the Panthers parted ways with long-time starters Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu, who was coming off a torn Achilles, and decided not to re-sign 36-year-old Hollis Thomas, an important stop-gap on last year’s line.

The new group will be tested again Sunday when Carolina plays at New Orleans.

While it isn’t getting the pressure the Panthers would like from inside, the 3.1 yards per carry against the defense ranks sixthbest in the NFL. “You get guys, you put them out there and you evaluate them,” Fox said of the surprising decisions.”

It’s hard to figure who’s been the bigger surprise for the Panthers — Johnson or Landri.

Johnson, a 16-game starter for Indianapolis in 2007, was twice waived by the Colts and

ATTORNEYS FroM 1B Howard Silber, an attorney representing Wichard, didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

The school learned of the financial transactions — first reported by Yahoo! Sports — when Blake met Aug. 31 with NCAA investigators looking into agent-related benefits and possible academic violations in the football program.

The reports of the loans overshadowed news Thursday that safety Da’Norris Searcy had been cleared to play in Saturday’s game against East Carolina, leaving the Tar Heels (1-2) with nine players whose status remains in question due to the ongoing probe.

In a statement, athletic director Dick Baddour said that the financial transactions weren’t a violation or cause for the school to fire Blake in

had only started five games over the previous two seasons. Combined with a suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, there were many who wondered if Johnson’s career was over.

“It was a fight for me,” said Johnson, who came to Carolina in part because of his relationship with defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, who coached him in Indianapolis.

“I just stuck with it and I’m thankful to God I’m able to be here. I just kept doing the things that made me successful in the past. What I’ve done, yeah, it feels good. But it will feel even better once we started getting some Ws.” Johnson said he never doubted himself.

Nor did Landri, who played in 35 games for the Jaguars from 2007-09 but was released after what he termed a “difference of opinion” with some members of the Jaguars strength and conditioning staff.

“I think I still play the way I was taught in high school — play as hard as you can as long as you can,” Landri said. “It’s the old mentality of see ball, find ball, get ball, that type of thing. It’s not just about how hard you play, it’s about how smart you play.”

The release of Leonard earlier this week opens the door for more playing time for Hayden and Neblett, who have mostly been inactive this year.

Hayden is the only one of the four tackles on the roster who played for Carolina last season — he started three games — while Neblett was the only undrafted rookie from this year’s class to make the 53-man roster.

“I’m sad to see Louis go because he was one of the guys who was showing me the ropes,” Neblett said, “but at the same time it’s an opportunity for me. My dad called me and saw the news on the website, and I knew right then and there I had to get my mind right because I was going to play now. Every week I’ve been preparing to play and now I’m going to get my opportunity.” 

NOTES: Defensive end Tyler Brayton (ankle) and Greg Hardy (foot), offensive tackle Jeff Otah (knee) and linebacker Jamar Williams (neck) were held out of practice. ...

Starting guards Travelle Wharton (ankle) and Mackenzy Bernadeau (shoulder) should be fine for Sunday’s game.

and of themselves.

“Nevertheless, we weren’t comfortable with what we learned,” Baddour said.

Blake resigned less than a week later while saying he had become a distraction.

Wade Smith, a Raleighbased attorney also representing Blake, said the loans between Wichard and Blake weren’t improper.

“Every time I look at the entire landscape here, it seems to me that ... there’s an enormous amount of smoke,” Smith said. “And the university could be excused for looking at that smoke and being concerned about it. But when you get beyond the smoke, there’s not any fire.”

Davis said he didn’t know about Wichard’s loans when he hired Blake. He also said he wouldn’t resign despite a review that has bruised the school’s reputation both academically and athletically.

“Certainly, I’m disappointed that a lot of these things have happened,” Davis said.

“You clearly wish that they hadn’t happened, and we’re going to do everything that we can in the future to ensure that they don’t happen again.”

The NCAA is also looking into a pair of trips defensive tackle Marvin Austin took to California in 2009 as well as three trips to Miami earlier this year. Beaver said that Blake didn’t know Austin had traveled to California to train with former Tar Heel teammate — and Wichard client — Kentwan Balmer at a facility a short drive from Wichard’s office.

Christopher Lyons, Austin’s attorney, said Austin has had contact with Wichard, but he wouldn’t specify how much and added that Blake never tried to steer the NFL prospect toward Wichard or any other agent. Lyons said one of Austin’s former high school coaches paid for him to fly to California, and Austin believed Balmer — then with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers — was paying for accommodations while there.

Appalachian State to study FBS move Associated Press

BOONE — Appalachian State is thinking about joining the big boys.

The school, known for its stunning upset of Michigan in 2007 and its three straight national titles from 2005-07, announced Thursday it will evaluate shifting from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Bowl Subdivision.

The feasibility study could take up to a year.

“With the changing Division I landscape and the unprecedented success that our football program has enjoyed on and off the field in recent years, the time is right to analyze all of our options as a Division I athletics department and football program,” athletic director Charlie Cobb said.

Appalachian State joins fellow Southern Conference member Georgia Southern and Montana in beginning discussions about moving to the FBS. The Mountaineers have led the FCS in attendance the past three years. Appalachian State, which recently renovated its stadium, is averaging 28,963 fans in two home games this season as it seeks a sixth straight SoCon title.

Appalachian State conducted a study about moving up to college football’s top tier in 1998 but decided against it.

“This study is a broad, campus-wide analysis to identify what our options are as a university, athletics department and football program going forward,” Cobb said.

“It was not in any way that this was arranged by Coach Blake,” Lyons said.

Yahoo! Sports reported that there were at least six wire transfers from Wichard’s bank to Blake, as well as a $45,000 personal loan from that bank to Blake. A credit card was also issued in Blake’s name tied to Wichard’s agency, Pro Tect Management. Beaver said the bank loan had nothing to do with Wichard and that the credit card account was opened to help Blake pay for expenses for running a football camp in California years ago while he was between coaching jobs.

That credit card, Beaver said, has been closed for about three years.

The coach’s financial troubles grew after he bought a custom-built house — “One maybe could say, too significant of a home,” Smith said — while at Oklahoma. After he was fired, the house didn’t sell for 16 months, leaving Blake with a mortgage payment that

Beaver estimated was around $4,800 per month.

In addition, Blake lost money in failed business ventures.

Wichard began loaning money to Blake, though Beaver said there are no records since they were close friends.

Blake has long tried to pay back some of the money, Beaver said, but the loans were never fully repaid.

Both Blake and Austin recently testified with investigators from the North Caroli-

CLEMSON CLEMSON, S.C. — Former Clemson coach Danny Ford will be honored with the Palmetto Patriot award before the Tigers play Miami on Saturday.

And despite saying the loans weren’t improper, Blake’s attorneys also acknowledged it probably wasn’t the best idea for a college coach to take loans from an agent — friendship or not.

Playing only for pride, the Red Devils romped over Landis in Drye’s last high school game to finish 8-2. Burleyson followed Drye for touchdowns of 72,43, 56 and 55 yards. He had 296 of China Grove’s 416 rushing yards.

Drye is proud of helping North Carolina win the 1955 Shrine Bowl. Then he chose to attend Duke because of Murray and Carl James, who was the Blue Devils’ chief recruiter.

“There was no limit on visits then, so every time I turned around they were standing there telling me to come to Duke,” Drye said. “Coach Murray knew I loved baseball, and he’d usually bring me a few bats.”

That would be a recruiting violation now, but those were simpler times.

Drye had a pretty good career at Duke. He got to play in the Orange Bowl that concluded the 1957 season, and a 48-21 loss to Oklahoma hasn’t erased the fond memory of the high times he and his teammates had in Florida.

“Yeah, we did a little bit of everything in Miami,” Drye said with a snicker.

He also got to play at Notre Dame and at LSU in front of more than 60,000 fans.

“We had good teams and good times,” he said. “I made friends that are still friends. And I got to play against a lot of All-Americans.”

He came home after Duke, went to work and has never left the area. He coached big-time industrial softball 20 years in Landis. His occupations have included selling cars and running an insurance agency.

His sons, John and Chris, were fine players at South Rowan. Chris participated in the 1988 Shrine Bowl.

Drye has encountered more than his share of health struggles in recent years, including his current battle with Parkinson’s disease.

But he still gets together with Snider often. Every time they chat, the homers fly even farther and the coconut pie tastes even better.

Rivers picks Duke over UNC, Kansas

Manning, Saturday set to make history

Associated Press

his bruised right knee shouldn’t keep him from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh.

SAINTS METAIRIE, La. — Sean Payton says he’ll wait until Sunday to decide whether running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) plays against Carolina.

SEAHAWKS RENTON, Wash. — Seattle released offensive lineman Chester Pitts a day after coach Pete Carroll sounded hopeful Pitts might start this week.

After Thursday’s practice, Carroll said it was apparent that Pitts would not be ready for this week and the Seahawks would be short on the offensive line if the move wasn’t made.

Carroll said Mike Gibson will take Pitts’ spot on the active roster for Sunday’s game.

RAMS ST. LOUIS — Running back Steven Jackson missed his second straight day of practice with a groin injury, and it was unclear whether he will play Sunday against Seattle.

LIONS ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit signed safety Dante Wesley and released safety Randy Phillips.

Detroit cut Wesley when setting its 53-man roster. He has played primarily on special teams in his eight seasons, seven with Carolina.

BILLS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Bills will be without at least two defensive starters against the New York Jets after linebacker Andra Davis (shouldder) and defensive end Marcus Stroud (ankle) were ruled out due to injuries.

BEARS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Tommie Harris said he wants to stay with Bears even though they benched him for the game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.

SAPP ASHEVILLE — HomeTrust Bank is suing to collect nearly $1 million Warren Sapp borrowed for a lot in an exclusive mountain residential development near Asheville.

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning has spent the past decade taking snaps from Jeff Saturday. So it’s only natural that the two guys go into history together Sunday.

With Manning set to make his 195th consecutive regularseason start and Saturday expected to be with him at Jacksonville, the two will become the longest-running quarterback-center tandem in NFL history with 158 career starts together. They are currently tied with Buffalo’s Jim Kelly and Kent Hull for first all-time.

BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — Jake Delhomme (ankle) returned to practice for the first time in more than two weeks. He was noticeably favoring his ankle in the locker room and on the field, but he hopes to start Sunday against the Bengals.

BENGALS CINCINNATI — Charityminded callers are getting intercepted by a phone-sex line because of a typo on Chad Ochocinco’s Cereal boxes.

The phone number is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver’s cereal. But the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, meaning callers get a seductivesounding woman who makes risque suggestions and then asks for a credit card number.

Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. said Thursday it was pulling all Ochocinco cereal boxes from its grocery shelves because of the error.

Boxes will be re-issued with the correct toll-free number.

JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Darrelle Revis (strained hamstring) will be sidelined for the second straight game.

Also, the Jets signed Trevor Pryce, reuniting the former Ravens defensive end with coach Rex Ryan.

Result angers Childress

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Richard Childress reiterated his frustration in the NASCAR appeals process after an independent panel denied his bid to have Clint Bowyer’s penalty overturned.

Three members of the National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel voted unanimously Wednesday to uphold the penalty levied against Bowyer after the car he drove to victory Sept. 19 at New Hampshire failed inspection. The penalty dropped him from second to last in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings and effectively ended his title hopes.

“I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision knowing how the appeal system is structured,” Childress said in a statement Thursday. “We proved beyond a reasonable doubt how the car was found to be out of tolerance after the race. Knowing how the system works, I brought a check with me to cover the cost of the appeal hearing and we have already submitted our request to appeal to the chief appellate officer.”

Childress paid the fee on the spot and will now go before NASCAR’s chief appellate officer, John Middlebrook. The former General Motors executive is NASCAR’s version of the Supreme Court and is expected to hear the appeal next week.

Childress has maintained that Bowyer’s car was damaged after the race at New Hampshire by a tow truck that pushed the Chevrolet to Victory Lane because it was out of fuel.

In a hearing that lasted nearly five hours at NASCAR’s research and development center, an acci-

dent reconstruction expert testified on behalf of the team that the tow truck indeed would have caused damage to the left side of Bowyer’s car and it would have factored into the failed inspection.

The panel, however, said the telemetry from the car refuted the claim because it “did not show a sharp impact spike.”

The panel also found that Dr. Charles Manning of Accident Reconstruction Analysis in Raleigh actually helped NASCAR’s case.

In the decision, signed by John Capels, Lyn St. James, Waddell Wilson and nonvoting member George Silbermann, the panel said Manning argued in the tow truck explanation that the contact bent the left rear frame of the car upward. The panel said Manning testified that the contact would have strictly damaged the left side only because of the matchup between the wrecker pushbar and the angle of the racecar’s rear bumper.

“He went on to say that the corresponding right rear measurements should not be affected, in his view, nor the frame member deformed,” the panel wrote of Manning’s testimony.

NASCAR, however, presented evidence that both the left and right sides of the rear of the car were high and the body was offset on the frame.

That development apparently led the panel to believe the No. 33 team intentionally altered the race car, a claim RCR has dismissed as inconceivable because they had been given advance notice that NASCAR would seize the New Hampshire car for further inspection. The team had been warned a week earlier that its car design was creeping dangerously close to failing inspection.

WINTER PARK, Fla. — The son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and one of the nation’s most highly recruited players says he is heading to Duke.

Austin Rivers posted on his Twitter site Thursday: “World i have decided to go to duke!

Let’s go blue devils ha’.” Rivers, who later made the announcement on ESPN, chose Duke over Kansas and North Carolina.

The 6-foot-4 guard from Winter Park, Fla., verbally committed to Florida in 2008 but reopened his search after the Gators struggled to sustain the success that won them back-to-back titles.

Rivers led Winter Park High School to the Class 6A championship last season. He also played for the world champion USA Basketball 18-under team.

GOLF NEWPORT, Wales — Good thing for the Americans the Ryder Cup ultimately comes down to golf shots, not style points.

U.S. captain Corey Pavin, his voice unsteady at the opening ceremony Thursday, introduced the 11 players on his squad and was about to sit down when he realized each team had 12 to a side.

He overlooked Stewart Cink, one of his captain’s picks.

Then came the lineups for the opening session, with Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker in the third slot. It was the first time since 1999 that Woods was not in the first match, leading European captain Colin Montgomerie to suggest the Americans were trying to hide him. Ian Poulter will join Ross Fisher in taking on the Woods-Stricker tandem.

Leading off for the Americans in fourballs is Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. They’re going against Lee Westwood and PGA champion Martin Kaymer.

Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy, the duo from Northern Ireland, play in the second match against Georgia Tech alums Cink and Matt Kuchar.

Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton — a pair of rookies whom many consider the most likely affected by Ryder Cup nerves — are in the final spot against Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald.

In doing so, Pavin sat out Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan for the session.  CONOVER — Bernhard Langer has been the man to beat on the Champions Tour.

Langer has five wins, including two majors, and a 672-point lead over Fred Couples in the Charles Schwab Cup standings heading into this weekend’s Ensure Classic on the Rock Barn Golf and Spa’s Jones Course.

NHL RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes have named defenseman Tim Gleason and center Brandon Sutter as the team’s alternate captains.

They will join captain Eric Staal as the team’s on-ice leaders.

House grows with the times

Don and Gigi bringle had a party not only to celebrate their new addition but also their 30th wedding anniversary.

Bringles add on in a big way

SuSan Shinn/for the SaliSbury PoSt

a view of the bringle home, with the existing structure to the left and the addition to the right.

BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

CHINA GROVE — Hmmm, what’s the perfect gift for a 30th anniversary?

In Don and Gigi Bringle’s case, it was an addition to their house.

This summer, with the help of architect Karen Alexander and builder Ken Jones, the couple added an expansive addition to their China Grove home.

The Bringles have lived in the house since 1984. The original 1913 bungalow was moved in the early ’80s by David Goodnight from the China Grove Church of God property, a block away. It was known as the Graham girls’ house, named for two sisters who were schoolteachers.

The Bringles bought the house from Goodnight, along with a lot on each side. Over the years, they’ve renovated the existing house and added a pool. But the addition this summer was the biggest project yet.

On Sept. 25, the Bringles welcomed family and friends in a combination open house and anniversary celebration. They were married Sept. 27, 1980, at First Methodist Church in China Grove.

Jones was on hand, as was Alexander.

“They were the easiest customers there ever were,” Jones said.

“We thought it was going to be a nightmare,” Gigi Bringle said, “but it was a dream.”

The main goal of the addition was to add a larger kitchen, along with a great room. The existing den became the Bringles’ master bedroom, and the existing kitchen became the master bath.

An 8-foot porch on one side of the house leads to a new

screened porch, which in turn leads to the pool area.

“There was really no connection between the house and the gorgeous asset of the pool,” Alexander explained.

A laundry room was added and a guest bath now accommodates guests as they exit the pool area.

Alexander chose to angle the new three-car garage as well as the addition, although you can’t tell when you are inside the house.

She also raised the grade of the lot to eliminate the dips in the existing driveway.

Alexander put in a number of dormers in the addition, both to echo the existing architecture and to let in the light.

“I’m an architect of view and I’m an architect of light,” Alexander said.

The original house was totally repurposed.

The existing rooms got new hardwood floors and the foyer was enlarged. A hall bathroom was cut down to a powder room to reconfigure that space.

Bringle’s office became a guest bedroom, and the small living room in the front of the house was their daughter’s bedroom.

A guest room upstairs is for the Bringles’ children when they visit. Their daughter Ashlyn Mounts lives in Florida with husband Justan. John Bringle lives in China Grove. He’s preparing to move into his grandparents’ house. Gigi Bringle’s parents were John and Jamima DeMarcus.

“You know it’s new but you can’t tell exactly where,” Alexander said of the addition.

The centerpiece of the project is the kitchen and great room area. This combined space is 24 by 36 feet, and easily accommodates a crowd, as evidenced as the open house. An 11foot-long island, topped with granite, provides plenty of counter space, also serving to divide

the room into its different areas. Bringle has his computer in a corner nook.

Alexander and Jones are pleased at the results of what they both call a team effort.

“The clients were very involved,” Alexander. “It was just a pleasure.”

For Bringle, mayor of China Grove for seven years, there was no reason to leave the room they love. Standing on the side porch he pointed to a home where his in-laws lived when the Bringles were first married.

“We had all intentions of staying in China Grove,” Bringle said.

As for his bride of 30 years, “I love it!” she says. “It’s a very comfortable house.”

Freelance writer Susan Shinn lives in Salisbury.

Visit to redwoods leaves a big impression

BY CAROLYN GLASGOW Master Gardener Volunteer

I recently took a trip to the Redwood National Forest in Northern California. The redwood trees are massive and impressive, but there is also local flora that flourishes in this forest.

At one time, there were approximately 2 million acres of coastal redwood trees in California. Now, only about 4 percent of the acres of the old growth remain. Most of it is protected in parks and reserves.

The Redwood National Park was established in 1968 and expanded in 1978. In 1994, The National Park Service and California Department of Parks and Recreation combined the Redwood National Park with the three abutting Redwood State Parks for the cooperation of forest management and stabilization of watersheds.

It is still one of the smaller national parks in the country.

The coastal redwood tree (Sequoia sempervirens) is only found in Northern California and Oregon. The combination of longitude, climate and elevation support the redwood range only along a few hundred coastal miles.

These trees take 400 years to mature and many are more than 2,000

Standing in front of a redwood’s root ball. years old. They are also the fastest growing conifer, or cone-bearing, trees in North America. They can grow up to 367 feet tall and 22 feet in diameter. The foliage is a single, nonoverlapping needle up to 1 inch long.

The bark is fluted and very thick, up to 1 foot, and is sapless.

The root system is surprisingly

shallow for these massive trees, with no taproot and roots only 6 to 12 feet deep. The major roots are 1-inch thick, spread out 50-80 feet and intermingle with other redwood roots, thus giving the trees additional support.

Farmers Market ends Oct. 16; Winter Market starts Oct. 23 Winter Farmers’ Market will begin operating on Saturday, Oct. 23. This is an abbreviated market at the same location as the summer market, and will operate through Christmas. But the hours of operation have changed; the winter market is only open 2 hours, from 10 a.m.-noon each Saturday.

There will be no Salisbury Winter Farmers Market on Wednesdays. The new winter market will feature fresh local meats, baked goods, fall vegetables, flowers, crafts and other items.

Vendors and potential vendors, please note: There are no fees for those who have participated in the Salisbury Farmers Market during the previous summer at least 10 times. Those with less than 10 days of participation or new vendors must pay an initial $12 fee up front and then a $5 fee each Saturday of participation.

Fees will be collected by Kristine Turco the day of the market. Also note that there will be no amenities at

An array of ‘green’ products REDWOODS

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service

The need to go green is on the rise. Let’s see what’s new.

We’ll start in the kitchen, a central spot in everyone’s lives. For the coffee fiends, try the high-quality, eco-friendly espresso maker by Presso Espresso. It is also recyclable.

Presso requires no energy to produce premium-quality espresso. All you do is simply add coffee grounds and water.

Then lift and lower the handles like a wine-bottle opener and, voila, you have delicious espresso ready to sip.

Next stop is the bathroom.

How about soft, stylish linens?

These are a mix of naturally blended, certified organic cotton combined with other natural ingredients. From Bamboo Bath Towels, these towels are silky and luxurious and made from 65 percent bamboo and 35 percent combed Egyptian cotton.

Let’s try some organic bedroom linens. Organic cotton breathes better than synthetic fibers, which helps to dissipate body heat. Plus, cotton tends to last longer than synthetics.

There is a company by the name of Green Home that sells only organic bedroom linens, pillows and even mattresses.

Carpeting can be a blessing or a curse. If you have allergies, carpet and even area rugs can be awful, but, if soft-

FROM 1C

ness underfoot is what you’re looking for, you might be able to have it your way even with allergies.

Look for the green label that shows that the carpet or rug meets industry standards.

Ask the installer to air out the new carpet for a day or so before installation. Then, after it is installed, keep windows open and a fan going for two or three days.

The adhesive used to seam rugs can be a cause of allergic reactions. Be sure the installer seals the seams with adhesives that have a CRI green label. Lastly, vacuum frequently and deep clean the carpet at least once a year. Daily vacuuming is suggested, but at least once a week is minimum.

And now for the windows. Hunter Douglas comes to the rescue with NewStyle hybrid shutters, which feature a combination of real wood and the strength and stability of modern materials. Just this month, they are introducing the affordable UltraGrain finish, which offers the color and grain pattern of real stained wood. These shutters are energy efficient both in winter and in summer, which will help with the heating and cooling bills.

And since it conserves energy, it definitely qualifies as green.

These trees are virtually disease resistant due to the high tannin content in the wood. Since they do not contain pitch, the thick bark protects them from fire also.

The Yuroks (Native Americans) were the first to use redwood trees for canoes and housing. The wood was resistant to insect damage and rotting. Commercial logging began in 1857 during the gold rush era. Logging continues today and is continually debated by the timber industry and environmentalists. Interestingly, the redwood name comes from the color of the heartwood, and not from the bark color.

Fallen, decaying redwood trees, ferns, sorrels, mosses and mushrooms help regenerate the soil and give optimum conditions for the growth of these giant trees.

The sword fern (poly-

stichum munitum) and the redwood sorrel (oxalis oregana) are the most common members of the redwoods under story. The sorrel has a tangy, lemony flavor and is often used in salads.

Banana slugs are other common inhabitants of the redwood forest. They prefer to feast on coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) but will devour anything in their path except for redwood seeds and seedlings. Coltsfoot is used as a warming herb in Europe, but has not been approved in the U.S. due to harmful side effects. It has been used for coughs, asthma and chest congestion.

The name “tussilago” means, “cough suppressant,” hence our word “tussive.” Coltsfoot, a perennial plant, spread by seeds and rhizomes, has hoof-shaped leaves. The flowers resemble the common dandelions.

he Salisbury Farmers Market, located on the corner of South Main and Bank streets, will officially close the 2010 market season Saturday, Oct. 16.

It has been a record year, with 34 vendors participating. Even with the extreme heat and late drought, the DARRELL Saturday marBLACKWELDER ket often had up to 800 shoppers gathering local fresh produce, baked goods, meats and flowers. Many of the vendors are regulars at other farmers markets in the area and are ready for a rest.

This summer’s market allowed shoppers to use both debit and credit cards at the market. Both WIC and Senior Vouchers are also accepted at the market. The Salisbury Farmers Market is one of only eight farmers markets in North Carolina

Do you have trouble breathing?

Or a persistent cough?

If so, you may have a disease called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. A clinical research study is being conducted on an investigational inhaled medication for COPD. We are looking for people who are smokers or ex-smokers, at least 40 years old, never diagnosed with asthma and currently have no other significant health conditions.

If you qualify, you will receive study medication and study related medical care at no cost while participating in the study.

If eligible, financial compensation will be provided for time and travel.

es at Phipps have an open-roof system that eliminates the need for mechanical ventilation. Earth tubes, buried 15 feet below the conservatory floor, provide cool air at a constant 55 degrees. When blended with the ambient warmer temperatures associated with enclosed glass buildings, it’s a totally passive cooling that replaces the need for a costly HVAC system.

The outdoor gardens have undergone many changes as well. Phipps uses beneficial insects as part of its integratedpest-management (IPM) program to lessen the use of chemical pesticides. You’ll also find rain barrels, a bee garden and a bird habitat full of plants with flowers, fruits and seeds.

More eco-changes are in the works here.

Phipps has embraced the opportunity to lead the way to demonstrate sustainable gardening practices to everyone that enters. “People look to us for inspiration and learning. As stewards of the land, it’s our responsibility to deliver the message to eliminate unsustainable gardening practices that are harmful to the environment,” adds Piacentini.

Green living doesn’t end when we step into our homes from the garden. Whether we are concerned about recycling, composting or using fewer chemicals in both our homes and gardens, green gardeners continue to explore ways to live a more ecologically responsible life.

Have you considered the inside of your home? Whether you are exploring energy efficiency in terms of keeping the cold air outside, using paints with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or purchasing more energy-efficient appliances, you have taken one more step toward helping our planet.

This year, while touring the country filming organic gardeners and eco-friendly places for my public television show, “Growing a Greener World,” we featured Pittsburgh’s Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. The people at Phipps are dedicated to sustainability utilizing many innovative and ecofriendly features throughout the gardens, indoor conservatories and the buildings.

“When Henry Phipps gave the conservatory to the city of Pittsburgh in the late 1800s there were a seemingly unlimited amount of resources such as water and energy,” says Richard Piacentini, executive director. “Now we need to find more sustainable ways to maintain the conservatory.

Over the last decade we’ve created a facility that’s been recognized by many as one of the world’s greenest gardens.”

When the cold winter winds and snows hit Pittsburgh, the crew doesn’t need to apply de-icing chemicals or use air-polluting, gas-powered snow-removal equipment to clear walkways. They added a snowmelt system to their front walkway, which takes advantage of waste heat in steam condensate that would otherwise have been lost underground on its way back to the steam-generating plant.

The water-hogging standard grass in the front lawn was replaced with drought-resistant grass varieties. In the entry area, new gardens were planted on a berm designed to feature more sustainable plants.

The Welcome Center is the first LEED-certified visitor center in a public garden.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the U.S. Green Building Council’s rating system that awards points in categories such as energy efficiency, using local materials, minimizing toxic materials and construction waste, and providing natural daylight and ventilation for occupants. The more points you get, the higher the LEED rating, with platinum being the highest.

Phipps built the Welcome Center with non-VOC paints, adhesives, carpet and furniture components. Its earthsheltered design and low-E glass walls, which reflect heat back to its source, are just a few of the sustainable practices at work inside this LEED-Silver structure. It features high-efficiency bathroom fixtures such as lowflow toilets and automatic sensor faucets.

As you enter the cafe, you’ll notice the changes. It now features local and organic foods and fair-trade organic shade-grown coffee, while eliminating plastic disposables. All pre-consumer organic waste is composted, and a local farmers market is held on the grounds weekly from June through October.

Opinions vary on how much to tip Dear Mary: A friend told me that you should subtract the tax from a restaurant bill before you calculate a 20 percent tip for the waiter. Is this an accepted practice?

To me, it seems cheap (and not in a MARY good way). I love your colHUNT umn!

—Bruce W., e-mail

Dear Bruce: The Emily Post Institute says to tip 15 to 20 percent pretax for excellent service in a sit-down restaurant. The Original Tipping Page (http://www.tipping.org) says that a tip never should be considered “required” and that it is not a must. When you give a tip for excellent service, it should be based on the pretax amount. I can find no authority on tipping that suggests tipping on the full amount of the bill when it includes tax.

Dear Mary: My 28-year-old daughter has a difficult time managing her money. She lives on her own and pays rent, utilities and car insurance, and she has no debt except for a small education loan she took for a year’s schooling. Eight years ago, she filed for bankruptcy. We bailed her out of debt before her bankruptcy. I recently received a call from a collection agency looking for her. I'm not sure how to handle this. I don’t feel it is my business, but I would like to refer her to a program that can get her back on track. Can you help?

If you really believe that your daughter is falling back into a troublesome debt situation, let her initiate the conversation. This is something she’s going to have to handle on her own, with your emotional support.

If you have been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes together, you may be eligible to participate in a voluntary clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of (FDA approved drugs) aliskiren plus valsartan, compared to valsartan and placebo (inactive substance) for lowering high blood pressure.

To qualify, you must Be at least 18 years old Have stable Type 2 Diabetes Be willing to stop current blood pressure medication.

While participating, the following will be provided at no cost: Study Medication Study-Related Lab Tests Study-Related Physical Exams Study-Related Blood Pressure Supplies.

Qualified participants may be provided financial compensation for time and travel.

Dear No’ne: I think most parents have a natural desire to rescue their kids no matter their age. But that’s not always wise, especially when the help is unsolicited. I wouldn’t give much stock to that call you got.

In fact, I would ignore it and request that they stop calling if it happens again.

Obstacle: If you’re single, it can be a challenge to motivate yourself to cook. It seems like many recipes serve an army.

Frustration can cause you to eat out or make unhealthy choices.

Solution: Most recipes can be made, portioned and frozen into individual servings. Slow cookers work great for makeahead meals. You can repackage your meat and poultry when you bring it home from the store. Some recipes can be scaled down. For some recipes, you’ll need to use a conversion calculator. Rice and pasta are a better buy than a bag of white potatoes for a single person. But you can still buy a single baked or sweet potato. Planning your meals is the key. Go to your local library and borrow cookbooks that are written for single people, or visit recipe websites such as www.razzledaz-

Worried neighbor’s letter worries readers

Dear Amy: As a 911 dispatcher, your advice for “Worried Neighbor” to call 911 was definitely on the money.

There could have been many things going on in that house.

Sometimes children see that kind of stuff every day and do not think that it is bad when in reality it is.

If Worried is afraid of retaliation from the neighbor, she could ask that she remain anonymous, or have the police officer contact her by phone instead of identifying her by stopping at her house.

Anyone in this situation should tell the dispatcher everything, such as hearing screaming going on in the house, what the children said, etc.

The more information the dispatcher has, the better information the officer would have to decide if they need to get into the house. Unfortunately, dispatchers and officers have to deal with this stuff every day, and any abuse (verbal or physical) should not be tolerated.

— 911 Dispatcher in Oklahoma

Dear Amy: I feel that your response to “Worried” fell short. I hope she will call the Department of Children’s Services with her concerns.

I had a similar experience and the sight of my neighbor’s bloody crib haunts me to this day.

— Worried Neighbor, Too Dear Amy: I can share both a personal experience and a professional opinion.

As a child, I witnessed the same drama in my own family.

My father’s abuse escalated from verbal attacks — not unlike what the writer overheard — to eventually repeated physical attacks on my mother, who suffered fractured limbs, near-strangulation, and years of unrelenting, demeaning emotional abuse and isolation.

As a psychiatrist, I now know that abusers are bullies whose first strategy is to isolate their victims from friends, family, neighbors and any other source of support.

Not only is this man’s spouse a victim of domestic violence, but the children are witnessing extremely disturbing behavior and suffering emotional trauma, including absorbing a template for their own future relationships, which is distinctly unhealthy.

Healthy people don’t “scream at the top of their lungs” at their spouse.

Please encourage neighbors, teachers, pastors and other “worried neighbors” out there to not only contact authorities but also to try to befriend the victims. Their support could be a lifeline for the children to know that not all families function like theirs.

I only wish someone had made it their business to befriend my helpless, frightened and lonely mother who was unable to see any way out of the trap she was in.

It’s taken me 50 years and a ton of work to undo at least some of the trauma of my early years, and now I am a child psychiatrist, treating children from homes just like the one described.

Dear Readers: “Worried Neighbor” wrote to me, concerned about her next-door neighbors.

She said that the two neighbor children, both very young, were standing on their deck, reporting that, “Daddy is mad at Mommy.”

Worried heard a man “screaming at the top of his lungs” from inside the house.

Worried was new to her community and didn’t know what to do. I suggested she call 911.

Every time I run a letter having to do with domestic abuse (or possible abuse), I receive helpful and heartbreaking responses from people whose lives have been changed ASK by abuse in AMY the home.

I feel it’s a service to run a selection of these responses, reminding people to get involved when they witness or suspect abuse.

Dear Dr. Gott: I read about the woman with cramping problems. There is a solution that works for me and many others. Simply pinch the groove between your nose and upper lip, and the cramp will go away. I believe this involves acupressure.

Dear reader: Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press against specific areas of the body for the release of muscular tension. It promotes the circulation of blood, and can relieve pain, ease tension and arthritis, and a great deal more. Thanks for writing.

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.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests.

They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.”

That applies to bridge because new aspects of the game arise regularly.

In this deal, two leads are important: the opening heart and your first spade.

You are in three notrump. West leads the heart three and East plays his nine (or covers dummy’s 10 with the jack). What would you do?

North’s jump to game was a slight overbid, but with all of his nine points

in the two four-card suits, it was reasonable. If, though, North had settled for a twono-trump rebid, you should have raised to game because your hand has three aces and a jack-10 combination.

You have six top tricks: one heart, four diamonds and one club. Three spade tricks will see you home, but how should the suit be played?

If the six missing cards are splitting 3-3, it won’t matter what you do. But you should also allow for one 42 break — with West having ace-doubleton — by leading twice toward the hand with two honors. However, before that, do you win the first trick?

What was West’s lead? A fourth-highest three. And since dummy has the two, the hearts must be 4-4. So there is no point in holding up. Take the first trick and lead a low spade toward dummy. After winning that trick, play a low diamond to your hand and lead a second spade. When West’s ace pops up, you have nine tricks.

You lose only one spade and three hearts.

Dear reader: Dapsone is commonly prescribed to treat dermatitis, herpetiformis (a skin condition that commonly appears on the elbows and knees), acne, infection and more.

Lichen planus appears in the mouth or on the skin as an itchy, swollen rash. While its exact cause is unknown, it is thought to be related to an allergic or immune reaction, from exposure to specific medications, chemical substances that include gold rings or necklaces, hepatitis C and other causes.

Diagnosis is made through visual examination or skin-lesion biopsy. Once made, treatment might include antihistamines, lido-

caine mouthwashes, topical corticosteroids, creams, ointments or ultravioletlight therapy. The condition may last for an extended period, but is generally not harmful.

Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder that occurs when an abnormal amount of a type of hemoglobin builds up in the blood. There are two inherited forms. The first is passed on by both parents, who don't ordinarily have the condition themselves but carry a gene that causes it. The second form is known as hemoglobin M disease, caused by a defect in the hemoglobin molecule itself. In this case, only one parent passes on the abnormal gene.

The acquired type is more common than the inherited form and occurs following exposure to anesthetics, specific antibiotics and nitrates that are used as additives to prevent meat from spoiling.

Symptoms present with shortness of breath, headache, fatigue and a blue tint to the skin. The treatment of choice is methylene blue. Alternatives include exchange transfusions and hyperbaric-oxygen therapy.

From your brief explanation, my guess is that you were prescribed dapsone because of lichen planus. While you may have been allergic to the medication, I don't believe it was the cause of your lichen planus but was the treatment of choice because of it. If I have misinterpreted your letter, we can take it up again at a later date.

Dear Dr. Gott: While in Vietnam, I was taking a dapsone pill daily, as the Army suggested. Unknown to me, I had an allergy to the pill and became methemoglobinemic. I stopped taking the pill, but still have lichen planus on my legs and buttocks that comes and goes. I can go weeks with no trouble, then I have a breakDR. PETER out that will last for up to GOTT a month before clearing. I read that the dapsone could be the cause of the onset of the lichen planus. Can you tell me if this is right or wrong?

Where can I find more information?
