VA paying $31,000 to get rid of geese BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Some unwanted, feathery guests have taken residence at the W. G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center, but a new plan set up this month seeks to move them out. On Oct. 13, the medical center agreed to pay $31,000 to a company that will help get rid of dozens of geese that wander the medical center’s grounds, according to Department of Veterans Affairs documents. Carol Waters, public affairs officer
with the medical center, said Thursday the geese often gather in the area by the pond and the national cemetery. “They produce a great amount of excrement,” Waters said. “They’re tracking it into our buildings. We’re a health care facility, so that’s a huge infection control issue for patients and visitors.” The geese also interfere with grounds maintenance, she said, and the construction of a new hospice unit. When the geese get into the cemetery, they create a mess on grave sites. The $30,996 base contract was award-
ed to VetsUSA out of Arlington, Va. The medical center will have the option to extend the contract for up to four years, for a total of $154,980. “The company who was awarded the contract is a disabled veterans’ small business,” Waters said. “That’s a good, positive thing.” According to the VetsUSA website, the business offers a number of security, consulting and technical services. It is identified as a Service-Disabled, Veterankarissa minn/SALISBURY POST

TIME IN THE ‘BIGS’ SHORT, SWEET When

Spencer resident Van Kelly made most of his stint in the majors BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — In 1968, during his first spring training with the Atlanta Braves, Van Kelly singled during an exhibition game against the New York Yankees. After rounding first and heading back to the bag as the ball came back to the infield, Kelly realized he was standing next to his boyhood hero, Mickey Mantle. Mantle was in his last season, having been relegated to playing first because of his always troublesome legs. “What do you say, Rook?” Mantle asked him. “You hit that ball good.” “Yes, sir,” Kelly said. It’s all Kelly could think of to say. Kelly has never dwelled on his brief major league baseball career. After parts of two seasons with the expansion San Diego Padres and multiple seasons in the minors on both sides of his 111 games in the majors, Kelly left baseball for a career in business. But there are some things you just don’t forget: • His first major league home run came off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bill Singer on June 17, 1969.

What’s a witch to do? Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, causing a dilemma for some about when to trick or treat. Should ghosts and goblins knock on doors and ask for candy on Saturday or Sunday? Many concerned parents have called the Post asking this profound question. But the city isn’t touching this one with a 10-foot broomstick. “The city of Salisbury does not designate a specific night for trick-ortreating, allowing parents, churches and neighborhood groups to choose,” said Karen Wilkinson, public information officer. Other Rowan County municipalities also are steering clear of any trick-ortreating controversy. “The city of Kannapolis does not have an official position on the how or when of celebrating Halloween, nor KAREN WILKINSON, public information do we sponsor officer any city Halloween events or festivals,” spokesperson Karen Whichard said. Spencer, Rockwell, Granite Quarry and Cleveland also will leave it up to residents to decide when to hit the streets in search of sweets. Karen Fink, town clerk and finance officer for Faith, said town officials there haven’t taken a position on which day kids should collect candy on the advice of the N.C. League of Municipalities. That’s because Halloween is not a legal holiday, she said. “In years past, whenever we’ve had Halloween fall on Sunday, the league advised that all towns should lay low on changing the calendar date, so that’s what we go by,” she said. Fink said a lot of people who live outside Faith and come into town for Halloween have called and asked if the date will be changed, but as far as town hall is concerned, it’ll be Sunday. An official with the N.C. League of Municipalities told the Post no one has inquired this year about the dilemma. But the league would advise towns to encourage trick-or-treating on the same night for convenience, said Margot Christensen, director of public affairs.

FroM 1a Boo, say kids in Rowan County. As it looks right now, the enterprising child could haul in double the candy this year by trick-or-treating on both Saturday and Sunday. Neighborhoods, churches and communities across the county will host Halloween or alternative-Halloween throughout the weekend. The tricky question of when to gather treats has caused a web of confusion in Granite Quarry, where residents of a subdivision appear divided over the issue. One resident says the neighborhood will welcome trick-or-treaters both nights. Another resident says that sounds batty. The subdivision has no neighborhood association to make the final call, and to Town Hall, the situation sounds as sticky as a candied apple. “We do not establish a night to ‘trick or treat’ in Granite Quarry,” Town Manager Dan Peters said. While the town expected Halloween activities to occur both nights this year, Peters said he was surprised that a neighborhood would host princesses and Harry Potters on Saturday and Sunday, and until the witching hour no less. Peters reminds all Granite Quarry residents that according to the town’s curfew,
NEED CA$H FOR FALL EXPENSES?
DETROIT (AP) — Just when Toyota thought its safety problems were over, they flare up all over again. Less than a year after it was tarnished by reports of runaway cars, the automaker recalled 1.5 million vehicles to address brakefluid and fuel-pump troubles, drawing new attention to safety issues that have festered inside the company for years. The world’s No. 1 carmaker said there were no accidents or injuries connected to the latest recall, which covers some Lexus and Toy-
juveniles under the age of 16 must be off the street by midnight Saturday and 11 p.m. Sunday. Police will have extra officers on duty both nights this year, Peters said. The town of Landis has met the dilemma head-on by observing Halloween on Saturday with the annual Fall Festival, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 30 in the 100 block of South Central Avenue. Landis will fill municipal vehicles with candy for a Truck-and-Trunk-or-Treat. The free event also will offer marshmallow roasting, hay rides, hot dogs, popcorn and hot drinks, as well as live rock-n-roll music. With all the confusion this year, why not start trick-ortreating Oct. 29, a full two days before Halloween? Kids can do that in China Grove. Although the town does not officially observe Halloween on any particular day, the Board of Trade will sponsor a downtown trick-or-treat for businesses that want to participate from 4 to 5 p.m. Oct. 29. The Post has a running list of Halloween events at www.salisburypost.com and will publish them all Thursday in the TimeOut section. With so many opportunities to trick-or-treat this year, even the skeletons can put on a few pounds. Scott Jenkins and Shavonne Potts contributed to this article.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Police say a Southern California woman drove around for months with a homeless woman’s mummified body in her passenger seat. Costa Mesa police said they discovered the body after receiving a call about a car that was blocking a driveway. Sgt. Ed Everett says officers noticed a stench from the car and found the body covered in a blanket. He says the woman who drives the car told police she let the homeless woman sleep in her car and one morning found she had died inside. The driver was afraid to contact police. The remains were partially mummified and could have been in the car for 10 months.

SEATTLE (AP) — In a last-ditch effort to prevent electoral disaster, President Barack Obama and Democratic allies are vigorously wooing women voters, whose usually reliable support appears to have softened. From blunt TV ads to friendlier backyard chats, they’re straining to persuade women that it’s the Democrats who are on their side and it’s in women’s vital interest to turn out and vote in the Nov. 2 elections that could give Republicans control of one or both houses of Congress. In Seattle on Thursday, Obama told local women and others that “how well women do will help determine how well our families are doing as a whole.” Accompanied by women who own businesses, he spoke in a family’s backyard about the economy’s effects on women and outlined ways he said his policies have helped them. Later, trying to rekindle the enthusiasm of his presidential race, he all but ordered thousands of cheering supporters at a packed University of Washington arena to get out and vote. Shouting over the applause, he said, “If everybody that voted in 2008 shows up in 2010, we will win this election. We will win this election. But you’ve got to come out and vote.”

fire, especially during the fall fire season,” said Brian Haines, public information officer for the North Carolina Division of Forestry. Fall wildfire season typically lasts from mid-October until mid-December. During the fall, people do a lot of yard work that may include burning leaves and yard debris. Sometimes, these yard fires escape and start wildfires. In fact, debris burning is the primary cause of wildfires in North Carolina. So far this year, 3,205 fires burned about 13,066 acres in the state, an increase of 231 fires and 1,742 more acres more than last year at this time. Many factors should be considered before burning debris. The North Carolina

Division of Forest Resources and U.S. Forest Service urges people to follow these tips to protect property and prevent wildfires: • Make sure you have a valid permit. You can obtain a burning permit at any Division of Forest Resources office or authorized permitting agent or online at http://dfr.nc.gov/. • Keep an eye on the weather. Don't burn on dry, windy days. • Place vegetation in a cleared area and contained in a screened receptacle away from overhead branches and wires. • Check local laws on burning debris. Some communities allow burning only during specified hours, while other towns prohibit burning
entirely. • Consider the alternatives to burning. Some types of debris, such as leaves, grass and stubble, may be of more value if they are not burned, but used for mulch instead. • Be sure you are fully prepared before burning. To control the fire, you will need a hose, bucket and a shovel for tossing dirt on the fire. • Never use kerosene, gasoline, diesel fuel or other flammable liquids to speed the burning of debris. • Stay with your fire until it is completely out. Studies show that adhering to these tips can reduce wildfires. For more information, go to http://dfr.nc.gov or www.smokeybear.com/wildfires.asp.
Vehicle break-ins lead to chase CONCORD — At approximately 11:45 a.m. Thursday, officers from Concord and Charlotte-Mecklenburg police departments were working together to track and identify suspects believed to be involved in a series of motor vehicle breakins and larcenies in the two jurisdictions. After the suspect vehicle entered Concord in the area of Concord Mills, a press release said, officers attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle would not stop, and officers discontinued the attempt to stop the vehicle after it entered Mecklenburg
County. At some point afterwards, the vehicle containing the suspects was involved in a single-vehicle accident in Mecklenburg County. The CharlotteMecklenburg Police Department is handling the accident report. After the accident, multiple suspects ran from the scene. Officers from the Concord Police Department responded to the area to assist Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers in apprehending the suspects. No further information was available.

Dead leaves and branches rapidly build upon the forest floor, and barren trees allow sunlight to dry the forest floor. These fall conditions increase the chances for wildfires in North Carolina’s national forests, state forests and private land. “The combination of dead dry leaves, fallen branches and high winds greatly increases the risk of wildfire in the fall,” said Riva Duncan, fire management officer for the U.S. Forest Service. “We’re also asking hunters, hikers and campers to watch their campfires and make sure their fires are out cold before leaving.” “The North Carolina Division of Forestry urges North Carolinians to be careful with

Even with terminal cancer, Tony Gegorek still puts others first BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Tony Gegorek spent the summer delivering meals to disadvantaged youth despite the pain he felt throughout his entire body. The 51-year-old Spencer resident was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma — kidney cancer — in July but continued working with the Rowan-Salisbury School System’s summer feeding program, dropping off breakfast and lunch each day. “I don’t know how he did it,” Lisa Altman, RSS child nutrition supervisor, said. “He was a driver to some of the most severe needs parts of the county.” Altman said Gegorek didn’t just deliver a meal, he always brought a positive at-
titude and a smile. “He loves those kids and those kids loved him,” she said. “When they found out he was sick, they made him cards.” Gegorek keeps all the cards he receives on a ring in his living room. GEGOREK “That’s a ring of love,” he said. “You just cherish things made out of love.” • • • Gegorek was in pain for months before giving in and going to the doctor. When he went in for a checkup, he found out the news wasn’t good. After being diagnosed with cancer, he underwent surgery to remove a kidney, his lymph nodes and part of his bladder.
“We thought he was going to have the surgery and that was going to be it,” his wife Angie Gegorek said. Gegorek went for more testing after the surgery and the results showed his cancer was terminal and had spread to nearly every bone in the lower half of his body. His chemotherapy treatments landed him in the hospital for a 10-day stint, and the first night was critical. “We didn’t even think he was going to live through that first night,” Angie said. Gegorek regained his strength and returned home, but couldn’t go back to his job as the child nutrition manager at North Shelley Smith/SALISbuRY PoSt Rowan High School. Friends in the food service system signed a tony’s doll to “I miss interacting with the kids and represent the man known as ‘mr. tony’ of North Rowan watching them grow up,” he said.

Isenberg Fall Festival a success

Students enjoy a hay ride at the Isenberg Elementary Fall Festival. The smell of popcorn, candy apples, fried fish and ponies were in the air as Isenberg Elementary hosted its Fall Festival. “We wanted to expand the festival from the previous year and according to the turnout we did,” said Ginger Cartwright, the school’s PTA President. Students enjoyed pony rides, hay rides, face painting, hula hoop, musical chairs, cake walk, pumpkin painting, and the gym was setup for students to play Wii video games. Principal Nathan Currie said he was very pleased with the attendance, and said that the money raised will be used to provide more technology for the school. The school is taking part in the matching funds project in which the school must raise 30 percent of the funds and the school system will provide the remaining 70 percent. The school’s book fair was also taking place in the media center. School officials said they were so thankful to have such a dedicated staff and a supportive community, said Currie. The Salisbury Fire Department provided a ladder truck and community cheerleaders provided the excitement. In planning with Currie this summer, the PTA wanted to continue the focus on activities that promoted family values and fun, said Cartwright. Later on in the year the PTA has planned a talent show and a Green and Gold Formal Ball.
A Stokes County man was charged with child abuse after someone reportedly found his 3-yearold son wandering around East Innes Street Wednesday night. According to the Salisbury Police Department, 36-year-old Richard Ryan Waldrop booked a room at the Happy Traveler Inn, 1420 E. Innes St., while he was moving to Rowan County. Waldrop decided to take a nap, police say, and his 3-year-old managed to move a chair to the hotel room door, remove the chain lock and walk outside. Around 7:30 Wednesday night, Kevin Williams, a Rowan County Department of Social Services employee driving on East Innes, spotted the child walking close to the road on East Innes, pulled over and called police. Police and representatives with Rowan DSS arrived and Waldrop was charged with misdemeanor child abuse and given a $5,000 secured bond. The child is now in the custody of Rowan DSS.

Amanda Bowman wasn’t quite sure why Ben Mynatt General Manager Todd Rakes was calling on her day off from the Salisbury dealership. “I was real nervous. I had been on vacation,” she said. Rakes was calling to tell Bowman her name was chosen during the Rowan United Way report meeting this week to be in the running to win a car at the close of the campaign. She didn’t even realize when she donated money to the campaign, she would be entered to possibly win a car. Bowman said she was pretty excited at the news and although she has a car, it would be nice to have a new one. “I never had a brand new one. I like my car. It’s an older used car. It would be nice to have something that’s new,” she said. Her grandmother, for a short time, received lunch from Meals on Wheels, a United Way agency. She’s donated to United Way in previous years. Her good luck piece is a charm bracelet her mother gave to her when she was 16. It has charms that are important to Bowman, including ones her mother received when she was 16.

Inside the bag there looked to be a book. “Why,

yes,” I replied. “Have I got work for you!” Desperate for someone to help me take care of the yard since my husband’s Alzheimer’s had robbed him of being able to do the extra things the yard service didn’t BARBER do — like pulling weeds, cutting dead trees, clearing underbrush — was I glad to see this ruddy,
unshaven, comical smiling face! I wondered about the kind of job he would do. I got more than I expected! Robert, a nice man who sits with my husband when I need to be away, had told me he knew of a man when I mentioned needing help, and related that he was homeless, but a good person and very smart. So I trusted Robert’s evaluation of this ragamuffin person I grew to love. Robert told me that Milton had a “place to stay” but didn’t want people to know where that was, so

I assumed that meant inside. I was canning pickles the day Milton came to work for me. He did a great job that day, and I was so pleased. When I asked what I owed him, he replied whatever I wanted to give him would be fine. So I paid him minimum wage and asked if he would like a jar of pickles. He gratefully accepted both, putting the pickles inside his grocery bag wrapped in paper, and thanked me graciously. As he left, he said, “You be blessed, now!” Those were his parting words

Man charged with pawning stolen goods Police say man took items from father BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
A 31-year-old Salisbury man has been charged with taking various saws, drills and a shotgun from his father and pawning the items at pawn shops across the county over a period of months. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, D a m i e n Franklin Barker, who lives at 375 Rock Spring Drive with BARKER his father, was charged Wednesday with felony larceny, larceny of a firearm and seven counts of obtaining property by false pretenses. He is in the Rowan County jail under a $25,000 secured bond. The investigation began when the father reported the
GEGOREK FROM 4a Although students no longer see Gegorek on a daily basis, they continue to check up on the man they’ve dubbed “Snack Daddy.” “A lot of the students will come by the house and yell Mr. Tony,” Angie said. • • • The voice of the Cavaliers for the past four years, he recently returned to his seat at the stadium to announce the first half of North Rowan’s homecoming game. “That was just a dream come true to be able to do that one more time,” he said. During the game, the football team presented Gegorek with a signed football bearing their support, but he said the highlight of the night came before kickoff. Gegorek said he used to lead a prayer before the start of every game, but was asked to stop. During the homecoming game, a student stepped onto the field to offer the prayer. “That’s another dream that I’m glad came true,” he said. • • • A man of unwavering faith, Gegorek says he knows he’s never alone. “I’ve gone into this with no fear,” he said. “I know the good Lord is going to take care of me and my family, I’m going to be fine because I’m in a win-win situation and I’m going to be healed either way. “If the Lord sees fit and I live through this it’s a miracle and if the Lord takes me to be with him that’s fine too.” As Gegorek’s cancer continues to weaken his body, he is still putting others first. “As I watch Tony during this difficult time, I continue to be blessed by him and his family,” Altman said. “They are so strong in faith and Tony continues to be Tony, full of life and aways checking on his ‘kids’ at North.” Jim Smith, RSS child nutrition supervisor, said Gegorek continues to love life and touch the people he meets. “He’s just the greatest guy, he’ll do anything for

Investigators found one of the stolen tools at a pawn shop, and the investigation quickly picked up when Barker’s name showed up at more than five pawn shops, including Reliable Pawn, 107 Mooresville Road; Pearl’s Pawn and Gun, 1598 N. Main St., China Grove; Franks Pawn Shop, 107 N. Main St.; Salisbury and China Grove Gun and Pawn, 5850 S. Main St. Authorities say Barker began his pawn-shop spree as far back as July 30 this year, pawning an item here and there, with the last stolen item being pawned Oct. 8. Barker is accused of taking a Mossberg .410 shotgun, Bosch drill, Milwaukee band saw, Dewalt air drill, Drill Doctor drill bit sharpener, hammer drill, Dewalt chop saw and Stihl concrete saw valued at more than $2,000.
1 will dance to “I’m A Believer,” and sing “God Bless the USA”, and add sign language to “We Are the World.” The SATB Show Choir will perform the Glee, “Somebody to Love”, and the seventies hit, “Proud Mary” while the girls Show Choir will dance to “Welcome to the Sixties” from Hairspray and “This is Me!” from Camp Rock. There will be special guest celebrities throughout the evening, such as Johnny Cash, Josh Turner, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Whitney Houston, the Monkees, and many more. Soloists will be Chris Hester, Taylor Draper, Alannah Wilson, Camille Craddock, Adam Corriher, Ali Brown, Sara Locklear, Isaiah Cornelius, Jamie Gynn, Tekia Jordan, Sabria Morrison, and more. A highlight of the show will be a special musical presentation by the Seniors in Varsity which will tie the decade show
together, paying tribute to the upcoming 50th birthday celebration of South Rowan High School, by performing a song written by Keith Dudley, a 1979 South Rowan graduate who is now in Nashville. Keith wrote a ballad called ‘China Grove’ about his hometown and has recorded it on his CD, which is available in stores and on iTunes. He wrote about the memories he has of the ‘old ball field where he hit his first home run’ and how the ‘school stills looks the same’ and how ‘everybody needs a China Grove’ . This song will bring joy to the heart of every person in the audience who calls China Grove (or nearby Landis) home. The concert is at 7 p.m., and will cost $5 admission, as this is one of the choral fundraisers for the year. Jan Gore is choral director at South. We hope you’ll let us entertain you this Saturday night.

you,” he said. “There is a not a person on the street that would meet him and wouldn’t befriend him.” Gegorek said he was diagnosed with cancer for a reason and is doing his best to spread the word about the importance of annual checkups. “The doctors said I probably had cancer for two years before I found out,” he said. • • • Gegorek cherishes the school district’s child nutrition department, and his church family from Oakdale Baptist Church, and said they have been a major blessing, constantly checking in, cooking, praying and sending love his way. One family even dropped off their van for the family to use as needed. “It’s overwhelming to be blessed with so much, I can’t even it into words,” he said. Gegorek continues to take medication to ease his pain, but the cancer has spread so much throughout his body that he is no longer receiving chemotherapy treatment for the cancer, just the pain. Angie said people have also brought by various medical supplies to make her husband more comfortable and access around the house easier. “It’s humbling to be on the receiving end, but it’s been a blessing to us and to the people in our lives,” she said. “We would do the same for others if the roles were reversed.” • • • Gegorek got perhaps what he considers to be the biggest blessing when he receive an all-expense paid trip to see the Indianapolis Colts play on Oct. 10. Fellow child nutrition manager Steve Yeager, who works at Southeast Middle, organized the trip. “Tony is a Colts fan from top to bottom,” he said. “I heard he had cancer and I felt so badly about it so I
was thinking about what I could do for him.” Yeager found someone to donate three roundtrip tickets through frequent flyer miles for Gegorek, Angie and their 17-year-old daughter, Shelby. He also raised money to pay for the hotel and the tickets. Before the trip, Gegorek’s friends and family hosted a tailgate party at his church. Before takeoff, Yeager picked up the family’s bags from their home. “He drove to Indianapolis with our bags and when we got there he picked us up from the airport and gave us a tour of the city,” Angie said. Yeager said he wanted to make sure Gegorek could enjoy the trip without having to worry about transportation so his solution was driving. “It was a real sacrifice for him to do what he did for us,” Angie said. “He drove back Monday after the game and returned to work the next day.” Yeager said he didn’t mind doing something for a friend. “I don’t know what the significance of our trip was up there, but I have a feeling that it was more than just seeing a football game,” he said. For Gegorek, it was definitely more than a football game, it was one more thing to check off his bucket list and a quality time spent with his family. “It was just surreal, it was like a page out of a book,” he said of the trip. Although Gegorek’s 27year-old son Christopher, who lives in Boone, was unable to make the trip, he said he is thrilled his dad got to see the team that he’s watched his entire life in action in their new stadium.
“I'm fortunate to have a father who is always there for his family and is willing to do whatever it takes to make their lives a little better,” Christopher Gegorek said. “He has impacted many people’s lives in a positive way and I am proud to call him my father.” • • • Back in Spencer, Gegorek’s friends are continuing to support him by hosting a barbecue chicken dinner benefit from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Altman said people continue to look out for Gegorek because he’s such a “phenomenal man.” “I am proud to have him as a friend and co-worker,” she said. “There are not enough words to describe the impact Tony has had on so many people.” The fundraiser, held at Oakdale Baptist Church, 200 Charles St., Spencer, will feature plates with chicken, slaw, beans, bread and dessert for $7.

found and read the description of the person, his bicycle and belongings, I knew it was Milton who had been found dead and burned. So I went straight to the police station. I told them about the little red cloth bag I had given him to tie on his bicycle to carry his book, and about the gray and blue backpack I gave him on the last Saturday he worked so he could carry some clothes and other things. And I described what he was wearing the last time I saw him. I found the police also thought it was Milton, but were waiting for the official report. Tuesday, the paper confirmed that fact. I cried for Milton. I cried to know that so many other people who knew Milton thought highly of him, as I did. I think he would have been proud to know what was said about him. I learned other things about him he had not told me. I learned about his going to the library each day, his playing bingo at the VA, his picking up Krispy Kreme throwouts and sharing them. On that last Saturday Milton came to work, I asked what he planned to do that afternoon, and he said “visit some folks who can’t get out.” And he left with the backpack on his back, the Duke T-shirt underneath the red and white plaid shirt I had washed the week before. “You be blessed, now,” he said as he straddled the bike and rode away. That was the last time I saw Milton Bryant Barber. He was 58 years old. The paper said he had a few friends. I think Milton had many more than a few friends. I will miss him for more reasons than his work. Somehow, I feel he blessed our life just getting to know him a little, and what it must be like to be homeless. What it must be like to have children that you don’t know or even know where they are and having missed their growing up years. Milton never seemed to feel otherwise deprived, nor did he ever ask for anything. He was so kind to Don, always asking about him if he did not see him around. He watched him for me when they both were outside, being sure Don didn’t wander off. I so wanted to help Milton find his former self — to have a real home and a rewarding job. He and I touched on that one day. But now there’s no chance of that. His funeral will be today. Now I want to know why and if there is a “who did this to him?” I sure will miss you, Milton. I’ll think of you each time I see someone riding a bicycle. I hope your children will someday know the goodness about you — and know that you cared about them. I feel sure you are with your Lord today. “You be blessed, now.”
bate at the University of North Carolina studios less than two weeks before the Nov. 2 election and one week into the early voting period. Each candidate harped on what they’re saying about the other in television commercials. Burr accused Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state since 1997, of telling untruths on the campaign trail by accusing him of voting for bad trade deals and focusing upon his 2008 vote on the bank bailout. Burr, who defended his bailout vote and said he voted later against expanding it to invest in automobile and insurance companies, argued it was Marshall who has changed her mind during the campaign on whether she would have voted for it. Burr tried to set the tone early by saying his 2004 Senate race with outgoing University of North Carolina System President Erskine Bowles was congenial and “we never made up things.” He suggested Marshall was. “The tactic may be to go in the gutter, secretary, but I’m not going there,” Burr said. Marshall said Burr approved financial deregulation while in Congress that led to the mess in financial industries the nation found itself in two years ago. She also countered that Burr’s TV commercial saying she was for a cap-and-trade plan to reduce greenhouse emis-
sions was just not true. Marshall said after the debate that the “gutter” comment was designed to scare her but it didn’t work. Her campaign said later Burr was mischaracterizing his race with Bowles. Seeking to draw in undecided voters struggling in the sputtering economy, Marshall tried to cement herself as the outsider candidate in the race and that Burr, who was first elected to the U.S. House in 1994, listens more to special interests. Burr “has been there for 16 years as he’s just part of that club,” Marshall said. “I’m not.” Burr said it’s government who has stood in the way of improving the economy. Until Washington brings predictability on taxes and policies to people seeking the American dream, he said, “I’m not sure we can hope that our neighbor will find a job.” The debate, the second hosted by the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters Educational Foundation at the University of North Carolina Television studios in 10 days, didn’t include Libertarian Mike Beitler because surveys failed to show him with at least 10 percent support. About a dozen Beitler supporters holding placards getting debate attendees. Beitler participated in a League of Women Voters debate Oct. 13.

expensive. He also visited Robert’s church from time to time and would eat there when they served meals. “I’ve told you more than I have told most people,” he said one day at lunch when I asked about his wife. “I’ve actually been married three times! That didn’t work out either.” Robert shared a lot of what he knew about Milton with me, for we both had grown to care about him. It was from Robert I learned exactly where Milton slept at night. But, from the paper’s version today, he might have also stayed other places sometimes. I had talked with Milton about getting off the “street,” especially during the winter months when it was so cold. Milton said the only thing that really bothered him being outside was when it rained. We offered for him to sleep in our heated basement, if he wished, when the weather got bad. One hot day when he had worked so hard and was grimy and drenched with sweat, I told him before he left he could use the basement shower, if he would like. And there were some shirts I had put on the counter that he could have. So he did take that shower, and selected one navy Duke T-shirt. He left his dirty shirt I had offered to wash for him before he came back the next week. “That felt so good,” he said when he came back in the kitchen. That was the only time I saw Milton all cleaned up. He had begun to grow a beard in the last couple of weeks, and except for his dirty jeans, he looked quite spiffy. One Friday in September, I had scheduled a sitter for my afternoon bridge game at Rufty-Holmes Senior Center and she had called in sick around 10 that morning. Robert was not able to sit that day and I was stuck. I called Robert to ask what he thought about Milton sitting and he thought that would work out fine. So I went searching for Milton. After looking at Hardee’s, Chick-fil-A and Rowan Helping Ministries without any luck, I decided to ride by Beggar’s Bazaar where I knew he helped out on Thursdays. And there he was, sitting on a bench talking with a man. When I asked if he could come about 12:30 and stay until 5, he readily agreed. As I walked back to my car I heard him tell the other man, “That’s my lady.” I cherish that comment to mean we had become friends. When it came 12:30 and Milton was not there, I became anxious. As the time drew nearer to 1 p.m. when the bridge game began I became panicky. Then at 5 minutes to 1, here he came running in the house so out of breath I feared he would have a heart attack. Panting away, he explained he had a flat tire on his bike and had to stop to repair it. As he apologized he said, “When I say I’ll be here, I mean I’ll be here, and I am so sorry I have made you late.” Sometimes at night he would sit on the bench across the street from the Blue Vine on south Main Street, he said, and read by the street light, enjoying the music from across the way. I also learned that Milton was a veteran of the Vietnam War and was treated for his medical needs at the VA. We talked about his wanting to get his teeth fixed, but he didn’t have dental insurance. His knees bothered him a lot, and in the last couple of weeks that I saw him, he was suffering from a head cold. So, when he didn’t show up on Saturday, Oct. 9, I became worried that he was sick. On Monday, I expressed concern about Milton to Robert and asked if he had seen Milton in the past few days, but he hadn’t. Of course, the minute I read the account in Thursday’s paper of a body being
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK (AP) — The two major-party candidates for U.S. Senate on Thursday accused each other of lying in competing television ads and on the campaign trail and tackled the touchy issue of whether gays and lesbians are born or choose to be that way. During their final debate before the election, Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall accused Republican incumbent Richard Burr of having views on homosexuality that are “wrongheaded and discriminatory” when discussing whether they agreed with the policy barring gays from serving openly in the military. But Burr said she didn’t listen to him and was trying to inject race into a discussion of gay rights. Burr said the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” has worked. When asked by moderator Judy Woodruff how he viewed gay behavior, Burr said he wasn’t “sure that any of us know whether it’s genetic or by choice. And I’m not sure that’s even relevant that somebody chooses that lifestyle and how it might then impact our policies.” Marshall, who said earlier that being gay isn’t a matter of choice and wants the policy repealed, said “there is ample evidence that it is biological and Sen. Burr obviously believes it’s by choice.” “We shouldn’t be judging people by the color of their hair, the color of their eyes, the color of their skin or other factors that they have no control over,” she added. “That’s wrong in America and what he’s talking about is governmental discrimination.” Burr shot back: “I made it very clear what my position was, but don’t bring race into this.” Although both candidates said Congress, not courts, should decide the policy’s future, the sharp exchange capped a testy one-hour de-

lunch and invited Milton to come inside and cool off, wash up in the kitchen and eat burgers with us. He bowed his head as we asked grace before we ate. I noticed he had lovely manners, and he was very wellspoken as we got to know each other a bit over lunch. Later I learned at one time in his life he had played golf and tennis, and he loved to read. As the weeks rolled by, I lost my yard service, and Milton took up the chore of mowing, edging and blowing the debris to the curb. I began to feel he was doing as much if not more than my yard service had done, so I began to pay him more. I also began to cook a meal for lunch on Saturdays so I could offer Milton a “homecooked” meal with vegetables and so forth, which he ate with relish, embarrassed to ask for seconds. One day I asked Milton if he had liked the pickles and he said had not opened them yet, but was saving them. About that time I asked Robert where exactly was Milton’s “place” — and I learned it was not inside, but outside under a “leanto” roof behind a building on someone’s property who had given him permission to be there. I guess he must have thought I was crazy giving him a jar of pickles. Where in the world would he keep a glass jar of pickles? Or the bag of lotions, soaps and shampoos I had given him later that I had saved from our hotel stays? Where did he even keep a change of clothes? One day at lunch, I asked Milton if he would say grace, and he surprised me with such a beautiful prayer, I almost cried. He mentioned several times when we talked that the Lord had saved him and that He had saved him from a life Milton wasn’t proud of. During our months of knowing Milton, I began to ask a few more questions. I asked why he was riding a bicycle. The answer I got was that he had several traffic tickets he had been unable to pay, and finally he decided a car was an expense he could do without. Now he was used to biking and it was good exercise. I asked about why someone so intelligent, kind and gentle, who obviously cared about other people, and was very much involved with his Lord, would be homeless. He began to tell me a little more about himself each week. He had been homeless for 8 years, he said. I learned that he had gotten married at the age of 17 and they had a little girl. That marriage didn’t last — they were so young. The mother had raised the child and he wasn’t sure where they lived now. Milton had fallen in love later in his adult life, he said, and that relationship gave him a son. He thought that marriage was well and happy until he came home from work one day and his wife had taken the child and moved to Florida. She had always wanted to move to Florida, he said. They were living in Virginia at the time where Milton had a very good job. He quit his job and went to Florida, but wasn’t able to save the marriage. “After that, it was like she had taken my heart,” he said, “and I just quit trying.” That was the beginning of his downfall. He had also lost track of this child, and it weighed on him greatly that he couldn’t find either of his children even though he had searched the Internet. He thought his daughter might be in North Carolina. She would be grown now. I never asked about all that had happened to him since then, but he indicated that he had fallen pretty far until the Lord came back into his life. I asked about what he did during the days, and he said that he liked to talk to people and try to encourage them. He hung around Rowan Helping Ministries a lot, ate lunch there, showered and shaved as well as spent time talking to other homeless there. From Robert, I learned that he liked to eat at Hardee’s and especially breakfast at Chick-fil-A because the coffee was less

Vets stand guard over Christian flag in King, NC
Ray Martini, an Air Force veteran, stands beside a Christian flag flying in front of the Veterans Memorial at Central Park in King, N.C. Martini launched a round the clock vigil to guard the new flag after the Christian flag flying as part of the memorial was taken down after complaints. escapable. Gullion’s Christian Supply Center, an area retailer, has sold hundreds of flags since the dispute began, according to Leanne Gay, who was running a tent at Calvary Baptist Church in King where everything from Christian flag decals to T-shirts were for sale. “In the first couple weeks, we were running out of flags every two hours or so,” she said. The Rev. Kevin Broyhill, pastor at Calvary Baptist, donated the flag now flying at the vigil. But Broyhill thinks having it returned permanently to the memorial is a losing legal strategy. He wants the city to transfer the memorial to a veterans group, which would make it private land. “Right now, the judges on the Fourth Circuit Court are very liberal,” he said. “This battle’s already been fought in court.” Broyhill is probably right, according to Larry Little, a lawyer and professor of political science at WinstonSalem State University. “They know they’d lose,” he said of the city council. “They would have to use taxpayers’ money to defend what any lawyer worth a grain of salt could tell them is a violation of the separation

freedoms and constitutional rights be stripped away one by one, and I think it’s time we took a stand,” King resident James Joyce said. Mayor Jack Warren said the city won’t make a decision until it can go over its options with legal counsel. One possibility is designating a flag pole at the memorial for the display of any religious emblem, he said. Another is selling or donating the memorial to a veterans organization, essentially privatizing it. “What it comes down to is: What can we do and what can’t we do, what’s legal and what’s illegal?” he said. Created by a pastor in New York City a little over a century ago, the flag, which sets a red cross in a blue square in the upper left corner of a white field, has been used by both liberal and conservative Protestant churches, but rarely draws much attention, according to Elesha Coffman, a history professor at Waynesburg University. “I would guess most churchgoing Protestants in America have never even noticed if there is a Christian flag in their own sanctuary,” she said. “It’s just kind of there, unless there’s a controversy, and suddenly people pick it up.” In King, it’s virtually in-

KING (AP) — The Christian flag is everywhere in the small city of King: flying in front of barbecue joints and hair salons, stuck to the bumpers of trucks, hanging in windows and emblazoned on T-shirts. The relatively obscure emblem has become omnipresent because of one place it can’t appear: flying above a war memorial in a public park. The city council decided last month to remove the flag from above the monument in Central Park after a resident complained, and after city leaders got letters from the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State urging them to remove it. That decision incensed veterans groups, churches and others in King, a city of about 6,000 people 15 miles north of Winston-Salem. Ray Martini, 63, an Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam, launched a round-the-clock vigil to guard a replica Christian flag hanging on a wooden pole in front of the war memorial. Since Sept. 22, the vigil has been bolstered by homecooked food delivered by supporters, sleeping bags and blankets donated by a West Virginia man and offers of support from New York to Louisiana. “This monument stands as hallowed ground,” said Martini, a tall, trim man with a tattoo on his right arm commemorating the day in 1988 when he became a born-again Christian. “It kills me when I think people want to essentially desecrate it.” The protesters are concerned not only about the flag, which was one of 11 flying above the memorial when it was dedicated six years ago, but about a metal sculpture nearby depicting a soldier kneeling before a cross. “I won’t let it fall,” Martini said. “I have already told the city, before you can take it down, I’ll tie myself to it and you can cut me down first.” The identity of the resident who complained about the flag, a veteran of the Afghanistan war, has not been made public. But the state chapter of the ACLU has no problem with the vigil. “We were concerned when the city was sponsoring the Christian flag, but we don’t have any concern with veterans groups displaying the flag,” legal director Katy Parker said. “We think it’s great the city is offering citizens a chance to express their opinions.” The protesters, though, aren’t satisfied with the vigil. They’re planning an Oct. 23 rally in support of their ultimate goal, which is for the city to restore the Christian flag to the permanent metal pole on the memorial. At a recent public hearing, roughly 500 people packed the King Elementary School gymnasium, many waving Christian flags. Of more than 40 speakers, no one spoke in favor of removing it. “We’ve let our religious

MORE CERTAIN JUSTICE
DNA database powerful tool harges brought against a Kannapolis man in a 1981 rape case underscore the importance of North Carolina authorities having access to an expanded DNA database — and to a strong SBI Lab with resources to vigorously pursue the facts of a case, without fear or favor. In true cold-case fashion, justice has been delayed for almost 30 years in the 1981 case in which a pregnant woman was raped at her Charlotte home. Were it not for expanded DNA use, investigators might never have linked that attack to Roger Dale Honeycutt, 60, who was arrested at his home Monday and charged with second-degree rape and other counts. Although DNA samples were taken from the victim at the time of the attack, authorities until relatively recently have lacked extensive DNA databases that hold samples from those convicted of rape, murder and other violent or sexual crimes. But with such databases expanding at the state and federal level, Charlotte police reopened the 1981 case in 2002 and submitted DNA evidence to the state crime lab. Earlier this year, investigators apparently hit pay dirt when the DNA matched a sample Honeycutt had to submit in 2005, when he was convicted of a sexual offense against a minor. DNA has proved an invaluable investigative tool. This year alone, DNA analysis in North Carolina has registered “hits” — matches against a criminal database — in more than 300 cases, according to the State Attorney General’s Office. That’s why lawenforcement officers across the state — including Rowan County’s sheriff, district attorney and the Salisbury police chief — supported successful legislation this year that expanded the state DNA database. Previously, DNA samples were taken only from those convicted of specified crimes; now, samples also can be taken from those arrested on such charges. (When suspects are cleared, their DNA samples and related records will be destroyed). But for expanded databases to be fully effective, the SBI and crime lab will need adequate staffing and resources to process more samples. At one point a few years ago, thousands of rape kits sat gathering dust because frustrated agents lacked the staff to process them. That’s a certain recipe for allowing perpetrators to remain on the streets, and the loosening of that backlog is one reason more cold cases like the 1981 Charlotte case are receiving renewed attention. While recent controversies have battered the SBI lab’s reputation, that shouldn’t obscure the critically important work that goes on there and the need to expand its role as technology advances. Thirty years is a long time for a case to languish, with a perpetrator escaping punishment. DNA databases, combined with adequate resources for processing and analysis, can make justice swifter, as well as more certain.

“If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.” — Anonymous
LETTERS Desperate tactics against Coates Harry Warren, candidate for House District 77, is desperate. He has taken to the airways with his lies about his opponent, Rep. Lorene Coates, claiming that she is “The Queen of Spending.” The North Carolina GOP has joined him in his desperate attempt to unseat Representative Coates by asking that we “take the checkbook away” from her. How absurd! Rep. Lorene Coates has kept a watchful eye on the state budget and has helped to trim the state's $22 billion budget by more than $3 billion in the last two years. In 2009, Lorene Coates helped cut spending by $2.5 billion, and in 2010 she helped pass another $800 million cut. “Queen of Spending”? I don’t think so! Representative Coates is helping to shrink wasteful spending by trimming the budget. Get your facts straight, Harry. If you can’t be honest about the job Rep. Lorene Coates has done, then the best policy would be to say nothing at all. After all, we want someone in Raleigh who is honest with the folks back home even when the news in not what we would like to hear. — John Hoffman Salisbury
Coates good with $ As the daughter of Lorene Coates, I know first hand how my mother handles money. Although I’m now in my mid-50s, I have not forgotten the principles practiced in our home. From childhood I was taught: 1. If you want money, get a job. My first job was working in downtown Salisbury at the Gold Shop when I was in the eighth grade. 2. Always save as much as you can. I began purchasing savings bonds as soon as I began making money. 3. If you want to buy something, save your money until you have enough to purchase it. I never used credit cards or even lay-away. Paying interest was viewed as throwing hardearned money away. 4. Live within your means, spend less than you make. You don’t eat steak if you can only afford hamburger. Turn off the lights when you leave a home. Put on socks if your feet are cold instead of turning up the heat. 5. Be smart with the money you have by learning to make the most of it. Park three blocks from Main Street so you don’t have to put money in the meter, buy what’s on sale at Food Lion, recycle newspaper and aluminum cans. 6. Never forget who gives you the ability to earn money. Giving a tithe of what we received was the expected norm. I could go on but I think you get the picture. By no means is she the queen of spending in North Carolina. I assure you that as a member of the N.C. House of Representatives my mother continues to follow these same financial policies. She does not take lightly the trust given to her by the people of Rowan County but truly seeks to do

See Warren in action Go to: www.rowancountync.gov and click on 2010 Candidate Forums to see why you should vote for Harry Warren for N.C. House District 77. Harry is the right person at the right time. We need his business experience; we need his pro-capitalism and profreedom values; and we need his energy and hard work ethic. He understands that we must reduce our corporate income tax (highest in the Southeast) to attract and retain businesses and jobs. He understands we must streamline our state bureaucracy to reduce our budget. We have the highest personal income tax and sales tax in the southeast, and our gasoline tax is the second highest in the nation. Harry is against forced annexation. The party that controls the N.C. Legislature in 2011 will control how our state and U.S. legislative districts are drawn for the next 10 years. To have a chance of a conservative U.S. representative in the next decade, we must elect Harry. I support Harry Warren for the NC House District 77; he’s the right person at the right time. — Elaine Hewitt Cleveland
She tells it like it is We support Lorene Coates for N.C. House Representative. We have known Lorene for several years and can attest that when Lorene tells you something, she “tells it like it is — plain and simple.” Lorene is a Christian lady who takes her commitment to citizens seriously. She has seen that Rowan County got its fair share of highway and road money to improve our many poor roads. She has kept her promise. When Lorene doesn’t have to be in Raleigh for votes, she is here in Rowan listening to citizens and talking with them to find out how she can help and serve them best. You’ll see her out and about and she is always accessible. She enjoys spending time with young people and has visited public school here to teach our students. She supports our teachers. She is part of the community. Lorene Coates is the kind of representative that I want on my side. If you contact her with a question, you’ll get an answer. She isn’t looking out for the ones that can give her the largest campaign donation, but is working for the middle
class who need jobs, veterans, the senior citizens, those that need health insurance and our schools. She is against forced annexation! She wants the people to have good jobs. She wants to help our farmers, the ones that provide us with food. If we send Lorene back to the N.C. House, Rowan will have a loud voice in the Legislature that will be heard. There is more work to be done, and Lorene is the positive candidate that will make good things happen and see them through. Lorene Coates has done a wonderful job. Vote for Lorene Coates. She is fighting for all us. — Linda and Derby Holshouser Salisbury
Wagoner experienced Rowan County voters should vote for Anna Mills Wagoner for Superior Court judge for Rowan County on Nov. 2 I am sure you are aware of Ms. Wagoner’s distinguished service as a District Court judge for Rowan County. I want to tell you about her almost nine years of service as U.S. attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, beginning when she was sworn in on Nov. 16, 2001. The Middle District of North Carolina consists of 24 counties in central North Carolina, including Rowan. Under Ms. Wagoner’s leadership, the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted approximately 4,500 defendants, including major Mexican drug dealers, online child predators, violent and repeat offenders and white-collar criminals engaged in identity theft and mortgage fraud. Her office seized currency and property involved in criminal conduct valued at more than $69 million and collected $57 million in debts owed the United States. Even though the U.S. Attorney’s Office is in Greensboro, Ms. Wagoner continued to reside in Salisbury and commuted to work every day. She recognized the need to commit more federal law enforcement resources to Salisbury and led the effort to establish a Project Safe Neighborhood there. This program brings together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in close cooperation to aggressively prosecute the most dangerous criminals in the community. Federal prosecutors and agents work with state and local law enforcement, prosecutors, probation officers, service agencies and community leaders to deter and prevent gun crime through community outreach and assistance. This program produced dramatic results in lowering
violent crime in Salisbury. Salisbury is a safer place because of this program. Anna Mills Wagoner did not forget her Salisbury and Rowan County roots when she became U.S. attorney. She deserves the vote of every Rowan County citizen on Nov. 2. — Ben White Raleigh

Eagle is right I am responding to a letter in the Oct. 15 Salisbury Post that Carl Eagle had written. I want to say that it was 100 percent right. Bill Burgin may not have voted to annex the N.C. 150 area, but that was only because it never got to a vote. He would have voted for forced annexation because he did vote for annexation of the Harrison Road area, the Camp Road and Hawkinstown areas. I was at the meetings. He voted like the other four (council members) did — all “yes” votes for forced annexation. Because the city needed the money ... they said. Please, go vote on Nov. 2. Don’t let a “yes man” like Burgin get on the Board of County Commissioners. Say no to him and anyone else that is for forced annexation. Forced annexation is a form of communism. Burgin makes a six-figure income. Double taxes don’t mean anything to him. But it does to working people. Say no on Nov. 2. Vote against all of those who are in office now. People who have been forcibly annexed are a victim of double taxes and have nothing to show for it. — Charles Black Salisbury
Cook is tough After 31 years in law enforcement, I recently retired from the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. I have now taken a position as a sergeant with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Department, working with an interstate criminal enforcement team. Over the past 10 years, I have had the opportunity to work firsthand with Brandy Cook. As a law enforcement officer, I can tell you that she is a tough and professional prosecutor. She knows the law and knows how to argue it in court. She is someone I have been able to call when I needed a question answered. I have personally observed Brandy in the courtroom for several years, and she is able to successfully work and communicate effectively with officers, victims, witnesses, judges, attorneys and probation officers. I know that if Brandy was assigned to one of my cases, then the right decision would be made. She has always supported law enforcement and, in turn, I support her to be district attorney for Rowan County. — Tim Russell Concord

Superior Court Judge
Marshall Bickett Immediately after his 1978 graduation from Wake Forest School of Law, Bickett began as the first full-time attorney for the Rowan County Department of Social Services. During his time as the DSS attorney, Bickett said he established the 4-D program, which collects child support from parents who are legally obligated to pay. He then served as an assistant district attorney from 1980 until 1986, when he went into private practice with Robert “Bob” M. Davis. He later opened his own firm. Bickett was appointed to his current position as District Court judge in 2007 by Gov. Michael Easley and elected to a four-year term in November 2008. “I’ve done everything you have to do to prepare to become a Superior Court judge,” he said. Bickett said he doesn’t think there will be any problems with the transition from his role as District Court judge if elected. He said it would be different if he didn’t have 32 years experience as a trial lawyer and as District Court judge. “As a judge, I know what the defense lawyer will do because I’ve been there. I know what the district attorney will do because I’ve been there,” he said. When it comes to decorum in the courtroom, Bickett believes it starts with the judge. “The judge should be on time, a judge should have a regular schedule that everyone knows about and a judge needs to be polite and professional to everyone to the extent he can,” Bickett said. The people in the courtroom should conduct themselves in a respectful manner. A judge can hold someone in contempt, meaning the person can be fined or jailed, for disrespectful behavior. He said he would be reluctant to hold someone in contempt and would take each instance on a case-by-case basis. “It’s not something you should do lightly,” he said. He is a board certified criminal law specialist.
KELLY FROM 1a mark held many years by Dodger great Johnny Podres, who happened to be watching Seaver break his record that day from the Padres bench. • Kelly was playing third base for the Padres the night San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays hit his 600th home run. At that time, Babe Ruth was the only other player who had ever hit 600 home runs over his career. • Kelly faced Cardinals pitching great Bob Gibson in his prime. Other players on opposing teams included Henry Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Willie McCovey and Don Drysdale. “Watching them as a kid and getting on the same field with them was surreal,” he says. • In the Milwaukee-Atlanta organization, Kelly also played alongside Braves favorites such as Rico Carty, Dusty Baker, Darrell Evans and Ralph Garr. • In the minor leagues, he roomed a season with Tony LaRussa, who remains active and one of most winning major league managers of all time. • As a Rookie League manager in 1975 for Lethbridge in the Montreal Expos system, Kelly managed Andre Dawson, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown this summer. “You could tell he had a future,” Kelly says. Kelly has documented his sports career sparingly on the walls of his home’s office in Spencer. One of the things he cherishes the most is a framed picture of the 1963 N.C. Shrine Bowl football team, of which he was a member. A portrait behind his desk shows him as a teenager in a Milwaukee Braves uniform, not long after being signed for a $10,000 bonus out of

Bickett is a Rowan native, a former Spencer alderman, member of the Fulton Masonic Lodge, Rowan County Shrine Club and the Salisbury Kennel Club. He and his wife, Terri, live in Salisbury. His father and grandfather worked for Southern Railway, his mother was an elementary school teacher in Spencer and his great-grandfather, George Fisher, was the brother of Jake Fisher of the Old Stone House fame.
David Bingham Bingham doesn’t believe it would be difficult to transition from a trial lawyer to Superior Court judge. “I always thought it was possible to be a strong advocate and maintain the necessary distance required to re-
Garinger High School in Charlotte. The walls also hold a team picture of the 1969 San Diego Padres, and the shelves have mementos from a 20th anniversary trip he made to San Diego in 1988 to celebrate being a part of the Padres’ inaugural team. The most he made in any major or minor league season was $12,000 a year. In the off seasons of his baseball career, Kelly had taken classes at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to earn a degree. “I saw too many guys who, after they were done, were lost,” Kelly says. After the 1975 season, he interviewed twice with National Starch — once at the regional office in Atlanta and later at the corporate headquarters in New Jersey. The company hired him as a district salesman, working out of Atlanta, and he never returned to baseball. His first job paid him more than he would have earned had he accepted a managerial job in the Florida State League with the Expos’ organization. Kelly stayed with National Starch for 32 years. He came to the company’s Salisbury operation in 1985 to head up a new sales organization. He and his wife, Joy, built the home in Spencer where they still live. During his business career, golf became a passion for Kelly, and his office displays several golfing trophies. Kelly’s sports passion in high school rested more with football than baseball. He starred at Garinger High as a halfback and safety. Four or five kids on the Shrine Bowl team signed with N.C. State University, but Kelly knew he didn’t have the size to play major college football at 5-10, 165 pounds. After signing with Milwaukee, he steadily worked his way through the minors, playing second and third base in

“The plea agreement process is between the district attorney and the defense lawyer. However, if it offends a judge’s conscience he shouldn’t accept it.” As district court judge he’s turned down plea agreements.
“I believe strongly in the Constitution. Our forefathers said our rights were God given. It means under the law we should all be treated the same. Justice should follow the law and the Constitution.”
“I would always be careful to make sure the administrative duties of being a judge would be carried out.” The primary responsibilities are for the civil court calendar, attorney’s performance evaluations or motions for appropriate relief.
“Almost always in every case, the defense lawyer and the district attorney know more about the case than the judge ever will.” The judge has the right to reject a plea. If elected, he would reject a plea if he wasn’t comfortable with it.
“I think a judge should allow, all sides the opportunity to present their case the way they choose. Judges need to be in control of the courtroom, but should not come in with any predisposition to any side.”
District court: Worked hard to streamline, improve system; established felony plea court to reduce backlog; expanded trial custody mediation program; supervised magistrates. U.S. Attorney: led an office of 27 attorneys, 30 support staff.
“Plea agreements are the province of the district attorney’s office. As district court judge I refused at times to accept plea agreements when I felt they were not appropriate.”
“The superior court judgeship is not just a job. It is a sacred trust granted to the judge by the voters. It is a trust that I would honor, strive to uphold and always be mindful of the Constitution that I have sworn to uphold, protect and defend.”
main professional,” he said. He added the task of changing roles has been done before by others who’ve gone from attorney to judge. “It’s not a problem unique to me. That’s a task that’s been accomplished by someone who has done this before me,” Bingham said. “The court is likely to only be treated with the respect it earns and that it demands,” he said. Bingham said he’s not necessarily talking about hairstyles or dress code. But he has seen people charged with drug offenses appear in court wearing clothes with drug paraphernalia on them. “That’s not so much an issue of decorum, but a stupidity issue,” he said. The same respect a person
would show to their parents is the same respect the courtroom demands, Bingham said. One of the unique things Bingham said he brings to the table is he has the respect of court personnel, fellow attorneys and law enforcement. “I know what’s been tried and hasn’t worked. There isn’t any particular need to ‘replow’ ground that was plowed two or 10 years ago,” he said. He is of the opinion people shouldn’t do something for the sake of recognition. “I think if you do a good work for the purpose of getting credit for the good work then you haven’t done a good thing,” he said. Bingham opened his practice in Salisbury in 1983 after graduating from Wake Forest University School of Law. He

He was traded June 13, 1969, from the Braves to the Padres with Walt Hriniak and Andy Finlay for Tony Gonzalez. Hriniak would become a famed hitting coach years later. Kelly made his major league debut the same night with the Padres in a game at San Diego against the Philadelphia Phillies. He pinch-hit and popped out against Phillies righty Rick Wise. Make no mistake, Kelly says. You never forget that first at-bat in the majors. “It’s almost overwhelming,” he says. Kelly got his first majorleague hit off Al McBean — a pinch-hit. He started the next night against the Dodgers and hit his first of four career homers in the majors. Kelly went on to play 73 games for the Padres in 1969, hitting .244 for the season. Over the off season, the Padres traded for Bobby Etheridge, a third baseman and possibly Kelly’s replacement, but Kelly had such a big spring training in Yuma, Ariz.,
that he started opening day for the Padres and knocked in their first run. But he learned quickly that a young expansion team had little patience. After 38 games and hitting only .169, the Padres sent him down to Salt Lake City, managed by Don Zimmer, and he would never return to the majors. “After the spring I had, it kind of surprised me,” Kelly says. The next season, he was traded back to the Braves, and he played so well in the spring again that he broke camp with the Atlanta club and played in a few exhibition games as they headed toward the start of the season. But he was the last man cut and sent back down to the minors before opening day. Kelly had one more spring training with the big club in 1972. An obstacle to the careers of Kelly and other young players of his day was their Army Reserve obligation for two weeks every summer. The lefty-hitting Kelly finished out his playing career in the minors at stops that included Richmond, Iowa City, Memphis and Quebec. In 1975, after playing briefly for Que-

He was also elected by Rowan County lawyers to serve eight years as a bar councilor on the North Carolina State Bar, the state agency responsible for regulating the practice of law in North Carolina. He taught research at Wake Forest University Law School. Bingham, who is a Rowan native, and his wife, the former Eva Nicholas Bernhardt, live in Salisbury.
Anna Mills Wagoner Wagoner served as U.S. attorney for the Middle District
bec, he took the Rookie League managing job and compiled a 35-37 record in his only managerial stint. But at age 29, he was ready to move out of baseball into his new career. Over parts of 12 seasons in the minors, Kelly played in 1,004 games, had 867 hits and compiled a .261 batting average. He knocked 26 minor league homers, had 238 runs batted in and stole 25 bases. In 1967, he led the Carolina League in hitting for Kinston. In the majors, over those two brief seasons in San Diego, he managed 298 atbats, hit .221 and had four homers, 24 RBI, 10 doubles and a triple. His final major league game was June 12, 1970, when he was still only 24 years old. Today, Joy and Van Kelly have two grown daughters, Erin and Stephanie. Kelly says he doesn’t watch much baseball on television through the season, except for during the playoffs and World Series. “Baseball is a tough game to watch on TV,” he complains. “About as bad as golf.” Kelly doesn’t even root for a particular major league team. But he has Hall-of-Fametype memories, and they come complete, with names such as Seaver, Gibson, Mantle and Mays. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.
of North Carolina for nine years until she resigned Aug. 6 to file for this position. She was appointed in 2001 by President George Bush. Before that, she had been a District Court judge in Rowan County for 11 years, including seven as chief District Court judge. For five years, Wagoner was partner in a Salisbury law practice. She served as executive director of the Family Abuse Crisis Council for a year. She graduated from Salisbury schools, received her bachelor of arts degree in English from Agnes Scott College in Georgia and received a juris doctor from Wake Forest University Law School, graduating cum laude. Wagoner’s transition from U.S. attorney to Superior Court judge would not be any different from her role as when “I served as an impartial District Court judge for 11 years and welcomes the same opportunity to resume that role again,” she said. Proper decorum in the courtroom by all parties and respect for the courts is essential to the “fair and proper administration of justice,” Wagoner said. She added the presiding judge is ultimately responsible for the conduct of everyone in the courtroom. She also feels strongly that the conduct and attitude of the presiding judge sets the tone and example for proper decorum in the courtroom. “A judge who is on time, prepared, listens well, is respectful of others and decisive, demonstrates that the courtroom is a serious place where serious issues are resolved,” Wagoner said. In 1991, Wagoner became a certified juvenile court judge. She is a member of the Branch Inns of Court at Wake Forest University. She served as the first vice president of the N.C. Bar Association from 1996-1997. Wagoner also served as president of the Conference of Chief District Court Judges in 2000-2001. She’s the co-planner of the statewide conferences involving gun violence reduction, gang violence, terrorism, domestic violence, Internet sexual exploitation of children and drug trafficking. Wagoner lives in Salisbury with husband, Edward. The couple have two children, Anna and Walter. She is a member of First Presbyterian Church. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.
SUMMER FROM 1a now lives in Spencer — batted fifth and played third base for the San Diego Padres. I know this because I saved programs from many of the Pirate games I attended in 1969, and I had a habit of keeping score for each of those games. My wife came across those programs recently and, as I thumbed through some of them, I spied Kelly’s name in the Padres lineup. It was July 25, 1969. Kelly went 0-for-3 but scored a run in a 3-2 Padres victory. He was hitting .271 at the time. The attendance that day was only 7,404 fans. On a recent visit to Kelly’s home in Spencer, I shared the program with him over a cup of coffee. It cemented several things for me: 1) I was a nerd, to have kept score for all those games; 2) I’ll always love baseball; and 3) It’s a small world. Here I was, 41 years later, talking to Kelly about his baseball career — Aunt Grace’s nerdy nephew, living a boy’s dream.
Contaminated celery blamed in 4 deaths SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Texas health officials have shut down a processing plant linked to contaminated celery that sickened at least six people this year, four of whom died, and ordered the recall of all of the produce that passed through the plant since January. SanGar Produce & Processing Co. issued the recall
after its plant in San Antonio was shuttered. The Texas Department of State Health Services traced six of 10 known cases of listeriosis in the state during an eight month period to celery processed there. Officials said the produce was sold to restaurants, schools and hospitals, but not in grocery stores.

NPR pulls plug on news analyst over Muslim remark; Fox keeps him on WASHINGTON (AP) — “I’m not a bigot,” longtime news analyst Juan Williams said. Then he talked about getting nervous on a plane when he sees people in Muslim dress. Fair game for one of his employers, Fox News Channel, but a firable offense for the other, NPR. Muslim groups were outraged, saying that WILLIAMS Williams’ remarks Monday on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor” endorsed the idea that all Muslims should be viewed with suspicion. But conservatives and even some liberals said NPR went too far in axing his contract for being honest about his feelings. The opinions Williams expressed on Fox News over the years had already strained his
relationship with NPR to the point that the public radio network asked him to stop using the NPR name when he appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s show. NPR CEO Vivian Schiller said Thursday that Williams had veered from journalistic ethics several times before Monday’s comments. Controversial opinions should not come from NPR reporters or news analysts, Schiller said, adding that Williams was not a commen-
tator or columnist for NPR. Williams told O’Reilly, “I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.” Schiller said whatever feelings Williams has about Mus-
lims should be between him and “his psychiatrist or his publicist — take your pick.” In a post later on NPR’s website, she apologized for making the “thoughtless” psychiatrist remark. In a memo to staff and affiliate stations, Schiller said the comments violated NPR’s code of ethics, which says journalists should not participate in media “that encourage punditry and speculation rather than fact-based analysis.”
Fox News, meanwhile, announced it had re-signed Williams to a multiyear deal that will give him an expanded role with the network — and that Williams will host O’Reilly’s show tonight. Chairman Roger Ailes described Williams as “a staunch defender of liberal viewpoints” and “an honest man whose freedom of speech is protected by Fox News” daily. Williams stood by his remarks Thursday. He told Fox
News his statement was not bigoted, as he said NPR news executive Ellen Weiss implied Wednesday when she fired him by phone. “I said, ‘You mean I don’t even get the chance to come in and we do this eyeball-to-eyeball, person-to-person, have a conversation? I’ve been there more than 10 years,’” Williams said. He said Weiss responded that “there’s nothing you can say that would change my mind.”

No. 1 pitcher in county to receive Snider Award
Philadelphia pulled within 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Halladay’s bunt — which appeared to be foul — helped spark a three-run third inning, when Shane Victorino drove in the first of two runs that scored on a fielding error by first baseman Aubrey Huff. “I don’t know,” Halladay said of the bunt. “It happened so quick.” Placido Polanco followed with an RBI single, and the two-time reigning NL champs forced a Game 6 back home Saturdy. Jonathan Sanchez starts for the Giants against Roy Oswalt, who is 10-0 in 12 starts in Philly this year.

Rowan County’s 2011 baseball season will include a new individual honor. For decades, the Mark Norris Memorial Award has been given by the Norris family to the county’s top player or co-players. The “Norris” winner has been recognized as the county MVP, and that will continue to be the case. Next season, the county’s outstanding pitcher also will be honored. Rowan County will have its own version of Major League Baseball’s Cy Young Award thanks to the generosity of Gary Ritchie of Gary’s Barbecue. The new accolade will be known as the Patrick Snider Memorial Award in honor of the
North Rowan pitcher who lost his heroic battle with cancer in July. Snider’s death at age 17 touched people countywide. He loved to SNIDER play baseball, he loved to pitch, and he should never be forgotten. Hopefully, the award will be a reminder of Snider’s fighting spirit every time Rowan high school players return to the diamond and climb on the mound to begin a new season.

en up a whopping 37 points in the first 24 minutes. Part of the problem was Central’s offense. It wasn’t the Wing-T that Salisbury had practiced for all week, and it put the Hornets in a quick hole. They managed 27 first-half points but still trailed by 10. “It was just a matter of getting our kids calmed down,” Pinyan said. “Things weren’t going so well. And our offense was scoring so quick, the defense didn’t have time to sit on the side and map out a plan. Things were all out of whack. We said, ‘Let’s just go out and play football and we’ll be OK.’ ”

Common Sense’s list of top-40 hits includes Falcons ommon Sense says there’s a better chance of it raining 40 days and 40 nights than the Falcons seeing their winning streak end tonight at home against an East Rowan team that has been searching for win No. 2 since opening night. West should make it 40 in a row with no trouble. Forty is a significant number. People used to say that’s when life begins. Tina Fey is 40, and Common Sense is a big fan of Tina Fey. For
C
the ladies out there, Matt Damon is 40, and he’s probably still got a few good years left. Trying to think of famous athletes who are or were in No. 40 is challenging, although Gale Sayers, a great running back for the Chicago Bears, comes to mind. Sayers wore 40 in the late 1960s and was a streaking comet in midnight blue and orange. He was about 40 years ahead of his time before an ACL let him down. Dallas Cowboys fans will remember safety Bill Bates, a No. 40 who
wore a blue star on his silver helmet for 15 years. Fans of real sports heroes will remember Arizona’s Pat Tillman. If you were a hoops fan in the 1990s, you haven’t forgotten Seattle’s dunking demon Shawn Kemp. “Rain Man” wore the green 40 of the SuperSonics while posterizing hapless defenders. No. 40 hasn’t been a frequent choice for Major League Baseball stars. The only prominent 40s that
spring to mind are former Angels closer Troy Percival and Don Wilson, who fired two no-hitters for Houston before he was 25, including one against the Atlanta Braves. Wilson’s 1967 no-hitter was the first one pitched in a dome or on artificial turf, and he fanned Hank Aaron for the final out. Wilson also didn’t live to see his 30th birthday, a reminder how fleeting fame can be.

West, SHS, Brown jayvees win From staff reports
West Rowan’s jayvee football team handled East Rowan 29-7 in Granite Quarry on Thursday to stay unbeaten in the NPC and clinch a share of the conference title. Daisean Reddick scored three touchdowns for the Falcons on short runs, and Keyows Weeks had a 5-yard TD on the ground. Caleb Cranfield kicked three PATs, and the Falcons’ defense recorded a safety. Noah Drye passed 25 yards to Chris Patterson for East’s touchdown. Dustin Mowery and John Novak played well for East’s jayvees, and tailback Donte Means had a strong game. Salisbury’s jayvees extended their CCC winning streak to 21 consecutive games with an easy 34-6 victory against Lexington at Philpott Stadium. Romello Ford led the Hornets with three TDs. Braylon Dailey scored on a 22-yard run to open the scoring, and Holden Hughley’s recovery off a muff on the ensuing kickoff set up a 14-yard scoring run by Ford that was followed by QB Brian Bauk’s two-point conversion run. The Hornets put on a twominute drill clinic late in the half and scored on a 12-yard run by Ford for a 20-0 halftime lead. Bauk’s 36-yard scoring pass to Ford and a two-point conversion run by Travon Ellis made it 28-0. After Lexington got on the board, Tony Krider tallied on a 27-yard run for the Hornets. Tom Murph had a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for the Hornets. Quan Davis and Damek Bratcher intercepted passes. Michael Young also stood out defensively. A.L. Brown beat Hickory Ridge 27-22 in one of the wilder jayvee games in school history. Struggling against Hickory Ridge’s massive nose guard, the Wonders trailed 200 in the second quarter.
At that point, they abandoned their option game and relied on the sprint-out passing ability of quarterback Keenan Medley. Medley rushed 15 times for 100 yards and was 7-for-15 passing for 100 yards. He threw three TD passes and rushed for a TD and a twopoint conversion. Johnny Delahoussey caught two tipped balls on fourth downs for touchdowns. Brown, which has one loss, played with its third-team center Robert Odom after losing two centers to concussions. Leading 27-20 but backed up on their 15, the Wonders took an intentional safety late in the game, then batted down four Hail Marys to end it. “First half, we just turned it over. Second half, we played the way the green and white is capable of,” Brown coach Jeremy Ryan said.
returned an interception for a TD, and Weston Tucker also picked off a pass. Other standouts included Alex Lyles, and Dominique Bost.

Rangers remain loose against N.Y. Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have returned to their own clubhouse, where the only trophies are the two deer heads mounted on the wall courtesy of Josh Hamilton. Back home, where they are 1-3 this postseason, needing one win to make it to their first World Series. If the Rangers are going to keep going where they’ve never been before, they have to win the AL championship series against the New York Yankees at home. The first of their
two chances is Game 6 tonight. “Obviously, we wanted to finish what we started in Game 5. If there’s a plus, we get a chance to finish the series in front of our fans. They deserve it,” said outfielder David Murphy, who has scored a series-high six runs. “It’s definitely more fun this way.” It is a Game 2 pitching rematch of Rangers right-hander Colby Lewis and Phil Hughes, who gave up 10 hits (seven for extra bases) and seven runs in four innings. Hughes had allowed only three hits in 151⁄3 scoreless innings during his previous three games at Texas.

PHILLIES FROM 1B “We’ll be ready to play,” Werth said. Halladay improved to 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA in three postseason starts this year, doing it despite a leg injury. “Second inning, Halladay, he had a mild groin pull, his right groin,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “Of course, he stayed in there. He was determined he was going to stay in there.” Philadelphia put San Francisco’s celebration on hold, taking this matchup of Cy Young Award winners after Lincecum came out on top in the opener. The Giants now must win once in two tries on the road for the franchise’s fourth pennant since moving West in 1958. San Francisco has not been to the World Series since the Giants’ Barry Bonds-led team lost Game 7 to the Angels in 2002. After Ryan Madson struck out the Giants’ 4-5-6 hitters in the eighth, Brad Lidge finished things off for the Phillies with a perfect ninth for his second save of the postseason. Philadelphia will try to become the 12th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-ofseven series. The Red Sox were the last to do it in the 2007 ALCS against Cleveland. “From our perspective we see ourselves
more in the driver’s seat than them, more in control. It’s up to us,” Lincecum said. The Giants put the possible tying run in scoring position in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings but couldn’t capitalize, losing in a potential postseason clincher at home for the first time since Game 7 of the 1962 World Series against the New York Yankees. Halladay hardly had no-hit stuff, but he had his edge. The pitcher stared down Pat Burrell after a called third strike to end the first, and Burrell jawed at Halladay while sprinkling in profanities. Clearly fuming in the dugout afterward, Halladay returned to the mound seemingly unfazed by that moment or a steady drizzle that hit during parts of the later innings. Halladay kept dealing, even if he wasn’t his most dazzling. Lincecum beat Halladay five days earlier. He was 2-0 so far this postseason and pitched another solid game except for one rough inning, but the offense failed to back him. Halladay labored at times and threw 108 pitches in six innings, far from the control and dominance he exhibited in tossing only the second no-hitter in postseason history Oct. 6 to start off the Phillies’ sweep against the Reds. Even with the groin pull, Halladay allowed two runs and six hits, struck out five and walked two — including a free pass to leadoff man Andres Torres in the first that led to a run on Buster Posey’s RBI groundout.

Time: 7:30 p.m. Records: South Rowan 2-6, 1-2 NPC; Carson 7-2, 2-2 NPC Series: South Rowan leads 3-0, including a 35-7 win in the first meeting of the neighbors in 2007 Last meeting: South bolted to a 32-0 lead and wiped out Carson 46-21 in 2009 at Donnell Stadium Last week: South Rowan lost to West Iredell 37-21; Carson scored 56 unanswered points and ripped North Iredell 56-14 Next week: South is at Statesville; Carson is at West Iredell Game notes: It’s an unusual s i t uation. Carson, which has never won in the series, is the overwhelming favorite this time. It’s expected not just to win but win big. Carson, which gets solid blocking from Mitch Galloway, has beaten two teams (Salisbury and Robinson) that beat South. Statistically, there are a few billion reasons to predict a Carson victory.
S. Pope
West Rowan
Galloway
Carson, still seeking second place in a league owned by West Rowan, averages 38 points a game, and South averages 22. Carson’s defense also is much better, allowing 20 points a game while the Raiders have allowed 37 per game. Since South’s given up 37 or more points five times and Carson’s scored 34 or more six times, it’s reasonable to expect the Cougars to put up at least five TDs. South has a brilliant player in QB Mark McDaniel (728 rushing yards) and guys such as Sonny Pope block hard for him, but there’s likely no way the Raiders can match Carson’s passing game or overall firepower. While all the advantages on paper belong to Carson, it’s going to be emotional for both teams. Emotion can lead to turnovers and mistakes, and if the Cougars turn it over a bunch, who knows? Stranger things have happened. South Carolina did beat Alabama. — Mike London

Time: 7:30 p.m. Records: East Rowan 1-7, 0-3 NPC; West Rowan 9-0, 4-0 NPC Series: West leads 22-21-1. East ruled in the 1960 and 1970s. West has won the last 10 meetings.

Last East win in the series: East won 31-15 in Mount Ulla in 1998, East graduate Scott Young’s first year as the West head coach Streaks: West has many, including 39 wins in a row to lead the nation. West has won 36 straight county games. The Falcons have won 24 straight in the NPC since West Iredell beat them in 2007. Last week: East was off.

against a team that’s lost seven straight. That’s not the ideal formula for a competitive game, although East coach Chad Tedder and his guys will go to Mount Ulla looking to build on a positive outing the last time they were on the field. While the Mustangs wound up losing to Statesville by three TDs, they had a chance to win the game. East will have to pass if it’s going to move the ball at all against West. Shane Galloway, Kyler Brown and Luke Wilkinson are potential targets for QB Jamey Blalock, who rushed for 93 yards against Statesville. West boasts the third 5,000-yard passer in county history in B.J. Sherrill and a defense that has gotten great play from sophomore “Eagle” linebacker Logan Stoodley. West already has shut out a school-record five opponents. One of many phenomenal stats is that the Falcons have 28 takeaways and just three turnovers. — Mike London

Time: 7:30 p.m. Records: North Rowan 3-5, 3-1 YVC; Chatham Central 1-7, 0-4 YVC Series: North leads 1-0 Last meeting: North rushed for 305 yards, held the Bears to minus rushing yardage and won 34-7 at Eagle Stadium in 2009. This will be North’s first varsity football visit to Bear Creek. Last week: North was beaten 44-14 by Albemarle; Chatham Central lost to South Davidson 20-13 Next week: North is home against West Montgomery in a game that is expected to decide second place in the league; Chatham Central is at East Montgomery Game notes: North had an ugly night on special teams and turned it over too many times against a very good Albemarle team last week, but there’s every reason to believe the Cavaliers will rebound tonight. On Oct. 1, South Stanly rolled up 600-plus yards and 51 points against

J. Cook
Chatham Central, and the Cavaliers won against South Stanly. Wide receiver Jalen Cook was a bright spot for North last week, producing his first two TD catches. North got a great defensive effort against Albemarle from Darius Jackson. Amani Bates, Javon Hargrave, Joe Wiggins and Jarvis Witherspoon also made plays. Garland Archie was hobbled by a bad ankle but will hopefully be healthier this week. The negatives from the Albemarle game included North failing to get anything out of its ground game, but Malik Jones had a fine effort against Chatham Central as a freshman (138 rushing yards). North QB T.J. Allen also is looking forward to playing Chatham Central again. He threw for two TDs against the Bears in 2009.

won 70 percent of the time, even with those unfortunate 2008 forfeits biting into his win column. One of Pinyan’s most impressive stats at SHS is his 7-0 career record against always talented Lexington. Directed by new coach Joe Gaddis and QB Al Challenger, the Yellow Jackets rushed for 447 yards last week. Lexington’s toughest opponent has been Lexington. At times, the turnovers and penalties have piled up, but when the Jackets have been focused, they’ve been scary. Salisbury’s defense, which includes linebacker Travis Byrd and lineman Donte Hoover, has given up 75 more points than Lexington, which is also scary. But Salisbury can score like crazy with QB John Knox, Morris and Dominique Dismuke. Pinyan has made all the right moves against Lexington in the past. It should be tonight’s best game. The winner will challenge Thomasville for the CCC title. — Mike London
at White
Mance
now sit alone at the top of the SPC — a familiar perch — after surprising Cox Mill knocked off Concord and Hickory Ridge lost a defensive struggle at Northwest Cabarrus. Hickory Ridge depends heavily on running back Brian Baltimore to move the football. He had 24 carries for 140 yards last week against a Northwest team that is strong against the run. Baltimore had 24 carries for 142 yards when Hickory Ridge beat East Rowan 14-0, and he had 17 runs for 152 yards in a loss to Carson. Other than the Cox Mill game (the Chargers rushed for 226 yards), Brown’s defense has put up strong numbers against the run. Unsung players such as DB Evans White are getting it done on defense. With big linemen like Charles Mance leading the way, Brown had out-rushed every opponent this season until Mount Pleasant had a 135-128 edge. — Mike London
Davie County Time: 7:30 p.m. Records: Mount Tabor 7-1, 2-0 CPC; Davie 4-4, 2-0 CPC Series: Mount Tabor leads 13-8 Last meeting: Spartans beat Davie 14-11 in Winston in 2009 Streaks: Mount Tabor has beaten Davie six times in a row. Last time Davie beat the Spartans: You have to go back to 2000 to find a victory in the series by the War Eagles. Davie won 14-12 in Mocksville, getting it done with defense and a couple of PATs by David Wooldridge. Last week: Mount Tabor pounded R.J. Reynolds 39-7; Davie won 21-17 against West Forsyth to set up its biggest CPC game in a while. Next week: Mount Tabor is at North Davidson; Davie is at Reagan Game notes: Davie hasn’t started 2-0 in the CPC since 2004, when it beat West Forsyth and South Rowan in its first two league games. The War Eagles will have to play
Newman
Peebles
close to a perfect game to make it to 3-0. Mount Tabor is considered a top-10 team in 4A and didn’t hurt its reputation any with a thorough beating of R.J. Reynolds last week. QB Brad Morton threw for 172 yards against the Demons, including a 73-yard bomb to Dwane Stokes on the Spartans’ first snap. Mount Tabor also rushed for 340 yards — 10 backs combined to do the damage — so Davie’s defense has a balanced attack to worry about. QB Carson Herndon had a rough game against Mount Tabor in 2009 (12-for-30, one pick, five sacks), but he’s been a different player as a senior. He’s passed for 1,194 yards and 10 TDs, and he’s added decent rushing yardage the past four weeks. If Herndon has another solid night, Joe Watson and Alex Newman make big plays and Christian Peebles and his defensive line mates play at the level they did last week, Davie has a chance. — Mike London
that doesn’t want to break the streak. If Tedder’s 1-7 team wins? Forget filming the pregame speech. We want the cameras there for the postgame celebration.
GALLAGHER FROM 1B Whatever defensive coordinator Ryan Crowder came up with worked. Salisbury’s defense played better than OK, shutting out Central in the second half. It allowed the offense to overcome the halftime deficit, and the Hornets won 56-37.
One thing we don’t like is injuries to the county’s marquee players. The status of South’s Mark McDaniel for tonight’s game at Carson hasn’t been determined. He was battered with a hard hit to the head in the loss against West Iredell. South is the underdog at Carson tonight, but without McDaniel, the heart and soul of the Raiders, well, Rollins would need a really, really good pregame pep talk. He can always remind his team it has never lost to the Cougars. At Salisbury, North Carolinabound safety Darien Rankin has a high ankle sprain. You know he’ll try to play at home against Lexington, a heated rival of Rankin’s in football and basketball.

West assistants decided not to hang Young, and they’ve hung around with him for the longest winning streak in county history. Ellis has mostly been a defensive line coach. He’s helped mold players such as All-American Chris Smith, now a freshman at Arkansas. Ellis also has been valuable in basketball. He was a key assistant and scout for Bob Shipwash’s 1997 team that claimed West’s first basketball state title. “Union Pines had the team that year, but the more we scouted, the more we thought we could win it if we could somehow get by Union Pines,” Ellis said. West beat Union Pines in a sectional final and won it all. “We didn’t have any great players, no one that averaged more than 12,” Ellis said. “But we had 10 FiLe pHotos good ones.” ralph ellis, who played at West in the early 1970s, is shown standing Assistant coach Jeff Chapman next to current West coach scott Young during a 2007 game against North. pointed out Ellis has helped many youngsters get track scholarships. ways,” Young said. “I’ve known him blitzes off the corner and North He’s traveled the country with since I was student-teaching at West had guys like Travis Hairston we North’s Steele to increase the exin 1994.

COMMON FroM 1B West’s current streak is special, and for the nation’s longest prep football run to be owned by a Rowan team is pretty exciting. When it ends, local football fans will always remember who ended it, how it ended and where it ended. Fans still talk about North’s stunning 1977 win against Salisbury that ended that school’s decade-long county winning streak. When it comes to the other local schools, they’ve all had their runs. East Rowan ruled in 1969-70. Although the Mustangs are officially credited with just 13 straight wins because of a forfeit loss that opened their 1970 season, East actually went 23-0-1 on the field in a dominating stretch. South Rowan’s longest winning streak was 10 in a row in 1981. Carson’s record is five straight set this year. Salisbury won 13 straight in 1994-95. In 1969-70, the school had an unbeaten streak that lasted 16 games (14-0-2). Boyden won 12 straight games from 1957-58. J.C. Price, Salisbury’s black school prior to integration, had a 15-0-2
South Florida and McNeill replaced him, one of the first stops made by the new coach and the 27-year-old offensive coordinator was at Davis’ Florida home. MCNEILL “The look in (Davis’) eye, I knew he was serious about it,” McNeill said. “He was very attentive, and that’s probably an understatement. He was leaning in his chair toward us and really didn’t say much, but was soaking it in, every word.” Said Davis of that meeting: “I looked the man in the eye and told him, ‘I made my mistakes, but that’s not me. That’s another guy. I’m going to come here and be a whole different man and be a leader for this team.’ ” He certainly has been. He didn’t enroll in time for the spring semester, so he paid his own way to campus and attended each of the Pirates’ 15 spring practices. He spent countless hours during the summer working out and studying enough film to beat out Brad Wornick and Rio Johnson for the job. The competition was so tight that nobody on the outside knew who’d start the opener against Tulsa until Davis trotted out with the offense for the first drive. But his last drive is what really had everyone buzzing. Davis flung a 33-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jones as time expired to seal a 51-49 win and deliver one of the greatest finishes in program history. He’s since delivered two more 300-yard performances. “Hard work equals success,” he said. “I just came out every day ... and worked my butt off. I knew something good was going to come out of it.”

running back LaMichael James is congratulated after an early score.
GREENVILLE — Dominique Davis stuck with East Carolina through a coaching change, paid his own way to town to watch spring drills and took a summertime crash course to learn a foreign offense. No wonder nobody saw this coming: The fleet-footed former starter at Boston College has the best numbers in pass-happy Conference USA. A league known for its wide-open offenses has a new — but not unfamilar — name atop its stat columns. Taking over that mantle from injured record-setter Case Keenum of Houston, Davis leads C-USA with averages of 3021⁄2 yards passing and nearly 318 total yards. Yet the way Davis explains his success, his job is one of the easiest on the team. “It’s not for me — it’s for the playmakers at the receiver position,” Davis said. “My job is really just to get the ball in their hands, the receivers and running backs, and watch them do the rest of the work.” The junior certainly has made it look easy so far. In just a few months on campus, he’s quickly learned the big-yards, big-points system that first-year coach Ruffin McNeill and offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley brought from Texas Tech. That has helped turn what many chalked up as an adjustment year into one to remember in Greenville. The Pirates (4-2) enter this week’s matchup with struggling Marshall at 3-0 in C-USA play for the first time since 2001. They’re coming off their first victory over rival N.C. State since 2006. And they seem to have the look of a serious contender for their third straight league title. Riley points out that, for all of the
hoopla that surrounds his scheme, “it’s not that complicated; a lot of it’s common sense. “It’s not rocket science — it’s still football — but (Davis’ grasp of it) DAVIS is impressive. I’ve got to admit, that was the one thing I was worried about him,” the coordinator said. “He never gets rattled. You can’t rattle him, and that’s served him well. He’s not as good as he can be, by any means, but where he is this early, it is impressive.” Davis’ best attribute might be how quickly he recognizes open receivers and gets them the ball in places where they can make things happen. Opponents sack him only 1.3 times per game, and three of his teammates rank among C-USA’s top 10 receivers. “He gets the ball into the right people’s hands. He gets the ball out of his hands quickly,” Marshall coach Doc Holliday said. “People say that they like to get after him, but not too many people have been able to get to him.” The downside, Riley said, is that sometimes he’s inconsistent in his reads and winds up with interceptions. He’s been picked off nine times but threw none last week during a near-perfect decision-making day against the Wolfpack, Riley said. Until about nine months ago, Davis figured he’d be operating an offense drawn up by Skip Holtz. Davis was BC’s first-stringer as a redshirt freshman in 2008 but ended up on academic suspension and decided to transfer. He landed at a junior college in Kansas and signed with East Carolina last December. When Holtz left a month later for

Duke ranked No. 1 in USA Today/ESPN poll Associated Press
DURHAM — Duke’s men’s basketball team received 29 of 31 first-place votes to claim the No. 1 ranking in the USA Today/ESPN preseason coaches poll released Thursday. The Blue Devils finished No. 1 in the coaches poll a season ago after winning the national championship. “It is an honor that the coaches think so highly of us,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We have a talented team that may have an opportunity to compete for a championship. It is October, and this will be a developing team. There’s a lot of work to be done to get to that level.” Rounding out the top 10 are No. 2 Michigan State, No. 3 Kansas State, No. 4 Pittsburgh, No. 5 Ohio State, No. 6 Villanova, No. 7 Kansas, No. 8 Purdue, No. 9 North Carolina and No. 10 Kentucky. Duke will play its first exhibition game of the season on Saturday at 7 p.m. against St. Aug’s. NEW YORK — College coaches are upset over a proposal that would eliminate July recruiting beginning in 2012. The National Association of Basketball Coaches is emphatically against the proposal. Losing July would be a blow to the mid-majors and small schools because the elite programs usually already have a full stock of prospects or are simply focusing on the handful of standout stars. The other schools use the month to find the overlooked gems and late bloomers that a Duke or North Carolina have already passed over. “The other 90 percent of the college basketball population needs to see kids multiple times,” Charlotte coach Alan Major said.

Mike Krzyzewski locks arms with his team while walking out during the ‘countdown to craziness’ event. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl is working without a contract while the NCAA investigates his staff's recruiting practices. Pearl's contract was terminated on Sept. 9, the day before he revealed to the public that he had provided incorrect information during an interview with NCAA investigators. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Baylor coach Scott Drew declined comment on a report that the NCAA is investigating his program’s recruitment of Hanner Perea, a high school player from South America who transferred to LaLumiere High School in LaPorte, Ind. FOXSports.com cited multiple sources it did not identify in reporting that Baylor assistant Mark Morefield violated NCAA rules by sending text messages to the player’s high school and AAU coaches in July. One allegedly suggested Perea could be sent back to Colombia if he didn’t agree to play for Baylor.
NBA CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Bobcats have waived forward Darius Miles, a former No. 3 over-
all pick who was trying to make a comeback after being out of the NBA last season. The Bobcats also waived rookie center Matt Rogers to get to the regular-season limit of 15 players. The 29-year-old Miles has played sparingly since microfracture knee surgery in 2006, and he has also had legal problems. Miles averaged 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in seven exhibition games with Charlotte. The 6-foot-11 Rogers played briefly in three games for the Bobcats after going undrafted out of Division II Southwest Baptist. MIAMI — A freak injury to Mike Miller’s right thumb is expected to keep one of the NBA’s top 3-point shooters sidelined for several weeks. Miller was injured when the thumb on his shooting hand got tangled in a teammate’s jersey during practice Wednesday.

He had promised the stunt two weeks ago on Boston sports radio station WBZ-FM without specifying a time.

Afterward, Shaq tweeted a “thank you” to those who showed up. WASHINGTON — Former lot-

NASCAR CHARLOTTE — Kasey Kahne will finish this season driving for Red Bull Racing, a move made possible when Richard Petty Motorsports granted him an early release, presumably to dump the remainder of his contract. Kahne will finish this year in the No. 83 Toyota, Red Bull said Thursday. He’s signed to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in 2012 and is moving to Red Bull next year as a one-season stopgap. With the early switch, Red Bull now must make the final two payments on Kahne’s contract, and he could be owed at least $2 million. “With our agreement only being for one year, there is a great sense of urgency to get started on 2011,” Red Bull general manager Jay Frye said. “With Kasey coming earlier than planned, we are excited to have a five-race head start.” Two people familiar with Kahne joining Red Bull said he’ll replace Scott Speed next year in the twodriver lineup. Kahne will take over Speed’s No. 82 team, but the car number will be changed to No. 4 to mimic what Kahne uses in sprint car competition.

Video spells out NFL hits to avoid
Offense takes on new look
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The NFL delivered its message about heavier punishment for illegal hits, including suspensions, directly to the 32 teams Thursday with a video spelling out what to avoid. The video includes three tackles from last Sunday that led to huge fines, and warns players that even first-time offenders will immediately be subject to suspensions for delivering such flagrant hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players. The sports agent who admitted he paid college football players has been decertified by the NFL Players Association. Josh Luchs told Sports Illustrated he paid more than 30 players from 1990-96. He said in the article he had left the business. The union announced Thursday that its Committee on Agent Regulations and Discipline voted unanimously to revoke Luch’s certification. “Under the regulations, Luchs has the right to an expedited appeal to an arbitrator if he wishes to challenge the committee’s action,” the NFLPA said in a statement. “Meanwhile, the NFL and all of the clubs will be notified of the CARD Committee’s action.” STEELERS PITTSBURGH — That retirement talk by James Harrison didn’t last nearly long enough for some NFL quarterbacks. The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker resumed practicing Thursday with the Pittsburgh Steelers, one day after threatening to retire because of the NFL’s stricter enforcement of dangerous hits. CHARGERS SAN DIEGO — Wide receiver Vincent Jackson will report to the San Diego Chargers next week and sign his contract tender, his agent said. By reporting Oct. 29, Jackson will be able to serve a three-game, team-imposed suspension on the roster exempt list, then play in the final six games to accrue his sixth season toward unrestricted free agency. COLTS INDIANAPOLIS — Colts president Bill Polian says tight end Dallas Clark is out indefinitely with a hand/wrist injury. The Colts also said wide receiver Austin Collie (thumb) and defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (knee) have undergone surgeries. REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley appears set to play in this week’s game at Chicago after recovering from a mild concussion. VIKINGS NEW YORK — Deanna Favre says her religious faith and an outward focus are helping her overcome the allegations of improper behavior that have been leveled against her husband, Brett. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says "workplace conduct" is the main focus in the league’s investigation of Favre. DOLPHINS DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins firstround pick Jared Odrick is hurt again, and the latest injury might sideline him the rest of the season. Odrick was on the verge of returning from a broken right leg when he hurt his left foot at the end of practice Wednesday. BEARS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs sounds hopeful he’ll return to the Chicago Bears this week after missing a game with an ankle injury.

Carolina defense not satisfied BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — It’s hard to celebrate individual success when you aren’t winning. So Panthers safety Charles Godfrey isn’t gloating about his NFL-high four interceptions, and his defensive teammates remain low-key in a subdued locker room. Yet despite Carolina’s league-high 16 turnovers putting the defense in tough spots with short fields, the Panthers rank 12th in total defense and fifth against the pass. Not bad for an 0-5 team. “No, I’m not satisfied,” Godfrey said. “I think we can play better. We’re giving up things here and there, and good defenses don’t do that.” Carolina’s offensive struggles — a league-low 10.4 points and 236 yards a game — are at the core of the franchise’s worst start since 1998. And the turnovers have meant short fields for the defense. Eight of the 21 opponent scoring drives have started in Carolina territory. In the Panthers’ last game Oct. 10 against Chicago, the Bears’ average starting field position was their own 40. “My understanding is a great defense has to overcome that,” Godfrey said. “That’s not an excuse for us. If we want to be a great defense, we have to be able to take those short fields and stop those guys from getting points.” Sometimes the Panthers have. With Godfrey’s career-high interception total leading the way, the Panthers have 12 takeaways, three off the league lead despite already having their bye week. “Those plays come when you know what you’re supposed to do,” Godfrey said. “Seeing the ball and wanting the ball. It’s just like making a tackle.” A defense that came on strong at the end of last season has looked solid minus a few gaffes under second-year coordinator Ron Meeks. While the Panthers have just seven sacks as they adjust to life without five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers, the linebackers and defensive backs are playing well and the Panthers are loaded with team speed. James Anderson, who became the starting strongside linebacker after Na’il Diggs was released in the offseason veteran purge, has a team-best 59 tackles and two sacks.
“I feel like I’m blessed to have those opportunities,” said Anderson, a third-round pick in 2006 who had started only 10 games before this season. “I don’t feel like I’ve done much different this year than I’ve done in years past. It’s having an opportunity.” The Panthers moved two-time Pro Bowl selection Jon Beason from middle to weakside linebacker after Thomas Davis’ knee injury, and Dan Connor has 49 tackles in the middle. Rookie Jordan Pugh started for the injured Sherrod Martin at safety against the Bears and had an interception. But that game also demonstrated the persistent frustration of the season. The Panthers intercepted Todd Collins four times and limited him to a 6.2 passer rating yet lost 23-6 after giving up a couple of long running plays early and watching the offense fail to get in the end zone. Carolina held Super Bowl champion New Orleans to one touchdown and lost. The Panthers intercepted Carson Palmer twice but fell to Cincinnati. “It’s just frustrating being 0-5,” Anderson said. “There are things as a defensive team, things that we could have been better at, points we gave up we shouldn’t have. All we can do is take care of the defense and try to get better. “If we don’t give any points, the worst thing we can do is tie.” Maybe the best scenario would be to score on defense. The Panthers’ lone non-offensive points came on a safety in Week 1 against the Giants. Those remain the only fourth-quarter points scored by Carolina all season. “If we get an interception for a touchdown or a big sack-fumble, it can change the momentum of the game and really give our offense a spark,” Anderson said. Until then, there will be no celebrating. “Happy is all relative,” coach John Fox said Thursday when asked if he was pleased with the defense. “They are showing steady improvement. I think we’ve definitely gotten better as we’ve gone. We need to continue to get better and find ways to win games.”
NOTES: WR Steve Smith (ankle) practiced for the second straight day and appears set to play Sunday. ... TE Dante Rosario (knee) practiced on a limited basis after sitting out Wednesday. ... LB Jamar Williams (neck) missed practice again and LG Travelle Wharton (knee) was limited.
CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers are making more changes in hopes of sparking the NFL’s worst offense. Three days after coach John Fox named Matt Moore the starting quarterback again, right guard Mackenzy Bernadeau said Thursday he’s been benched for Sunday’s game against San Francisco. Bernadeau said Geoff Schwartz will move from right tackle to right guard and Garry Williams will make his first NFL start at WILLIAMS right tackle. “They came up to me and told me I was playing pretty well, but not up to the best of my ability,” said Bernadeau, who won the job in the preseason after Keydrick Vincent wasn’t re-signed. “Little things are holding me back, n o t h i n g BERNADEAU crazy. Right now we just need a win and we need to make some changes and that is one of them.” The Panthers (0-5) are averaging a league-low 10.4 points a game with Moore and Jimmy Clausen combining for nine picks. The line has allowed 17 sacks and the running game has struggled to come close to the numbers it put up a year ago when DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart each went over 1,100 yards. “I have to work on everything in my game, specifically my run-blocking,” said Bernadeau, a seventh-round pick in 2008. “That’s something we as a whole have to work on, but me personally I think that’s something bigtime I have to work on.” Williams, signed as an undrafted rookie last year, will become the latest player to fill in at right tackle while Jeff Otah remains sidelined. Otah hasn’t played or practiced all season because of a knee issue that’s required two surgeries. “This is my first ever start and it’s the opportunity I’ve been waiting on,” Williams said. “I’m going to go out and give it everything I’ve got to help us get a win.”

Odd weather means more questions on insects, plants M
any people are working outdoors and have stumbled across unusual plants, insects and other items of interest. The unseasonable weather usually brings out interesting flora and fauna. Below are a few situations that may be of interest from phone calls received over the past week. Q: I have this strange plant growing in the edge of my woods that is green DARRELL and has an unusual BLACKWELDER seed pod of red berries. What is this plant? A: The plant is a native euonymus called hearts a bustin’ or strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus). These shrubs seem to grow pretty well under a fairly thick leaf canopy. The plant really isn’t a great foundation plant, but does have interesting attributes in the fall. Q: I have these black and red bugs all over the side of my house. What are these and how do I get rid of them?
The red-eyed boxelder bug is showing up again.
which is a type of an assassin bug. Wheel bugs are large predacious insects that feed on non-beneficial insects such as Japanese beetles and caterpillars. They are very large, slow moving insects with a distinguishing cog-like wheel on their backs. They will deliver a strong sting when threatened or accidently come in contact with those working outdoors. Q: I have these big mushrooms growing in my yard from stumps and roots that are rotting. They are large brown mushrooms. Are these edible mushrooms? A: I don’t recommend eating any wild mushrooms growing in the yard. There’s too much at risk eating wild mushrooms unless you are an expert in mushroom identification. These will dry out and go away or you can physically remove them.
A: The insects are boxelder bugs. They are an extreme nuisance late in the fall and early spring. These insects are attracted to boxelder trees, a trash maple that grows in ditch banks usually near a stream or wet area. Complete control is impossible and often impractical, but there are

insecticides that will kill them. Q: I was working the yard this week and backed into an insect that developed a very powerful sting. It was not a bee or wasp but looked more like a really big bug. Can you tell me what this thing is? A: The insect is a wheel bug,
Q: My husband decided to change the inside of a commode in the upstairs bathroom, which entailed putting in a new cut-off valve. We did nothing to the sink. We also decided to upgrade the flooring. He pulled out the commode, we put down new flooring, put the commode back and put the turn-off to the commode back on. We filled the tank and flushed several times and it worked fine. The next morning, part of the ceiling fell in; it turned out the toilet hadn’t sealed properly and water leaked. We turned off the water to the commode, but when we turned it back on, the tank wouldn’t refill — nor would the sink work. A: Sometimes, trying to save a few bucks will cost you more than if you’d called a professional. This is one of those times — and, unfortunately, the leak had an immediate effect. A few things can cause a leaky seal: not removing all of the old seal; not tightening the floor bolts enough or overtightening them; or having a cracked floor flange. Usually, a loose or damaged wax-ring toilet seal will leak very slowly, and the homeowner is not aware of the leak until the floor is damaged or the toilet bowl starts to lean off-center. In your case, you should have added a remodeling flange to extend the old flange above the new floor. The problem with old galvanized water pipes is “hardening of the arteries.” Mineral scale and rust accumulate for years and line the insides. When you disturb the pipes by adding a shut-off valve, some of the scale can work loose and block water from flowing to the sink and toilet. I’ve also seen this happen to copper pipes, in which solder came loose and blocked a valve. Try removing the sink faucet’s aerator to see if it’s blocked, then tap on the pipes in different locations with a wrench. Maybe you can shake something loose. If that doesn’t work, call in a plumber to replace the pipes.
For fall color, try pansies BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post
he neverending search for yearround color mandates that garden centers and retail outlets provide accent colors in the fall and throughout the winter months. Pansies provide landscapes a bright splash of color replacing spent summer annuals and fading perennials. Pansies are also used in shrub plantings as accent plants or en masse for continuous show of color throughout the fall and spring. Pansies now come in a vast array of colors, ranging from vivid blues to faint pink pastels, either “faced” or a solid color. Violas are similar to pansies but have smaller, more delicate flowers. Plants will grow 6 to 8 inches tall and are prolific bloomers that may have dozens of quarter-sized flowers at one time. For this reason, they deserve a place in the landscape and in containers on the patio or deck. Pansies and their cousins provide a splash of brightness wherever they are planted. There are a number of hybrid varieties or series of pansies that are usually the best choice for large flow-

Fair brought out the best in Rowan County youth nother Rowan County Fair has come and gone. Beautiful, warm weather embraced fairgoers during the fair’s six-day run, resulting in excellent attendance. Rowan youth exhibited record numbers of breeding ewes, market lambs and meat goats, while exhibitors from throughout BRAD the state JOHNSON brought an outstanding barn full of beef and dairy cattle. The livestock shows begin in earnest with the Broiler Pen of Three Show, a collaborative effort of the Rowan/Salisbury Schools, Piedmont Research Station and Rowan County Cooperative Extension. The children get the chickens the day they are hatched in mid-August, select their own birds, vaccinate and tag them, then bring all of them back to the fair. Each bird is weighed and each exhibitor’s three heaviest birds are their “pen.” The feed for this year’s project was graciously sponsored by Southern States. This year’s Grand Champion Pen of Three Broilers was exhibited by Beverly Hampton, West Rowan High School, which had a total weight of 17.25 pounds. The Reserve Champion Pen of Three Broilers was exhibited by Jacob Wilson, South Rowan High School, which had a total weight of 17.07 pounds. The beef dress-up contest saw Jackson Scott of Mount Ulla taking first prize, followed by Jake Smith, Mount Ulla, and Peyton Lemley, Salisbury. The Junior Breeding Ewe
A

Teresa messick poole’s tomato plants grew once, then again, spreading up her deck and across some chairs. The tomatoes are even ripening.
Tomatoes seem to enjoy the warm weather, too BY SYLVIA ANDREWS sandrews@salisburypost.com
Teresa Messick Poole of Rockwell says she grew up around gardens, her father being quite the lover of fresh veggies. But her small vegetable garden in her backyard surprised her this year. Using the site where she previously had an above-ground pool, Teresa put in two tomato plants and some pepper plants. The plants grew exceptionally well, reaching to the top of her deck, and produced through the summer for her. The surprise was when the tomato plants started growing again. Because they were already at deck height, she moved some bar chairs to the edge of the deck for the plants to grow on — which they took to quite well — and then the surprise, they started producing again. Teresa didn’t know if this was an unusual phenomenom, so we checked with it looks like poole will have a nice second crop of Darrell Blackwelder, county Extension tomatoes — not all that unusual. Agent. He says that tomatoes are perennials and, technically, can grow all year long. nights. Teresa’s tomatoes apparently were So, no this isn’t what you would call strange stimulated by the warmer than normal early behavior for tomatoes. fall temperatures and decided to keep right But — and here’s the catch — they don’t tol- on doing their thing — producing red, juicy erate cold temperatures well, particularly cold tomatoes.
When early humans discovered fire, they not only stumbled upon a great way to grill up wooly mammoth burgers and keep the cave cozy at night, they also came up with one of my all-time favorite decorating tools: candlelight. The older I get, the more I’m convinced that everything — and everyone — looks better bathed in a warm, forgiving glow. While I decorate with candles year round, I’m crazy about them during the holiday season and the following cold, dark months. My current favorites? Clusters of votives and groupings of pillar candles. If you look closely at the candles burning in my home, you’ll see that most of them aren’t really burning at all. They are fakes: battery-operated candles that look like the real thing, complete with drips and flickering flames. I’ve almost completely thrown over real candles for the cheaters. I get all the beauty and none of the danger of real candles. Selecting the shape, size and style is only the beginning. The fun part is picking candle holders that will add style to your displays. For unsurpassed elegance on a dining table, look no further than a silver candelabra. I use my trusty five-arm candelabras when I create tablescapes for dinner parties and open-house tours. Sometimes I top them with tapers. More often, I place something unusual on one or more of the candlesticks cups, like a little gourd, a Christmas tree ornament, a pomegranate or a pinecone. People do a double take as they drink in the unusual display. It’s also fun to use these formal candelabras in unexpected places. My friend has a gorgeous candelabrum on a stand next to the bathtub. When our daughter got married at our home a few years back, she wanted an understated, elegant but dramatic look. To give our guests a warm welcome, we lit up our front walk with
two grand candelabras fitted with battery-operated pillar candles. We added pools of votives, clustered on each step leading to the door. To lend sparkle to the trees in the front yard, we hung wreaths from low boughs, covering them with faux votives. The effect was breathtaking. Also high on my list? Large, chunky pillar candlesticks.

Scare up a good Halloween bash with these tricks and tips We all have one in our lives. She might be your neighbor, your sister, your best friend, the mom in the carpool line or your colleague at work. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the crafty one who spends hours making homemade chocolate bats for the kindergarten treat bags or the one who manages to find time (and has the talent) to craft handmade centerpieces. We admire her, as she pours us a cup of homemade cider made from the apple trees in her backyard, but we also feel guilty. The cupcakes we brought to the party? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the grocery store. The jack-oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-lantern on the porch? It came pre-painted. Before the guilt bubbles up, remember that the holidays arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about the perfect cards or freshly baked treats.

Halloween is all about dessert, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect way for me to entertain without feeling like I should have made the gravy, baked the bread or whipped the mashed potatoes. Here are three low-cost and low-skill ways to throw a fun Halloween party: 1. Use the 80/20 Rule. We love this rule and use it often. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not familiar with it, it boils down to picking the most important things and forgetting the rest. Whether you apply it to decorations, treats or party favors, employ it when planning your party. What are the two or three things that you can do to make your Halloween gathering fun? Focus on those tasks. 2. Let Others Help. Never say â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;? when somebody asks you what they can bring. Most people want to feel like they are contributing, so pick something ahead of time for each person to bring. Decide what you will make and then divvy up the rest among your
guests. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun way to get them involved and share recipes while also ensuring that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not slaving in the kitchen the whole time. 3. The Bill Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Have to Be the Scary Part. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to run up a huge bill decorating the house or buying up every ingredient for 10 different side dishes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and use what you already have. Make it more old-fashioned and opt for spooky instead of scary. Throw some spaghetti in a pot to look like worms or put grapes in a bowl to look like eyeballs. The kids will love it (and they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be running away) and the adults
will appreciate the old-time cheer. The writers are co-founders of Buttoned Up, a company dedicated to helping stressed

I work full time and race around trying to get it all done, so when the holidays come, I feel overwhelmed by all of the things I should be doing. You know those movies where the kids are in the back asking: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we having fun yet?â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me at the holidays. So, last year I made a decision to throw together an impromptu Halloween party. It was a potluck and all of the neighbors came. It was fantastic. Because it was lastminute, nobody expected anything over-the-top and everyone was happy to get together for an hour or so before the trick-or-treating. It was the first time I had a great time at my own party, and I learned that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serving or how you decorated, but who is there. Alicia on â&#x20AC;&#x153;a guilt-free holidayâ&#x20AC;?: I love Halloween. There are no turkeys to cook, no trees to trim and no expectations (other than a stomachache from all that candy).

In fall, ornamental grasses are in their glory Scripps Howard News Service
They catch the sunlight, sway and rustle in the breeze. In fall, ornamental grasses are in their glory as they turn shades of gold, bronze and ruby. You may pass the same way every day, suddenly notice a stand of reddish or golden grasses. Consider adding a few of these underappreciated plants to your yard. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easy to grow, attractive, versatile and beneficial to wildlife. Ornamental grasses offer low maintenance, longevity and resistance to many pests and diseases. These vigorous plants establish themselves quickly in a wide range of soil types. In addition, most ornamental grasses are deer-resistant. Deer may nibble on the grasses, but they rarely damage these tough plants. Just because these are grasses, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have to mow them regularly. In fact, you only need to trim them within a few inches of the ground annually, just before they awaken from winter dormancy in early spring. Trim off the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and put it right into your compost pile. For most people, the best reason to grow ornamental grasses is their beauty. They provide interest throughout the seasons and look great even in winter snow. With sizes ranging from dwarf to towering, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure to find a variety to suit your needs. Designers love to punctuate landscapes with ornamental grasses because they can plant upright varieties or others that gently weep, depending on the desired effect. Just when perennials have succumbed to the cold, grasses will maintain their shape and attractiveness. They are particularly eye-catching to use en masse, whether it be one large drift or several smaller groupings to define an area or enhance your perennial bor-
der or shrub layer. Functionally, grasses will help stabilize slopes because of their deep root systems. They also help to improve soil conditions and fertility as the root system regenerates every three to four years, with the older roots decomposing. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a sweeping landscape to enjoy these versatile plants. They lend their tapestry of textures to beds, borders and containers. You can make an architectural statement by putting suitable grasses in colorful containers. Ornamental grasses are also popular in driedflower arrangements. Native grasses provide a habitat for birds and other wildlife. Birds thrive on the seeds that grasses provide. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed watching wrens and chickadees perched in the feathery grass, dining on many of these easily accessible feeding stations. One of my favorite grasses is pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris). It boasts a stunning display of feathery pink clouds and has exceptional tolerance to heat, sun and drought. It thrives in welldrained soil in full sun to partial shade, as most grasses do. This tough plant even thrives next to the roadside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native mostly to the eastern United States from Kansas to Massachusetts and south to Florida and Texas. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow pink muhly grass, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t despair. You will find a variety of ornamental grasses at your local garden center. A few grasses are sold as annuals, so be sure to check the plant tag or ask someone knowledgeable in the nursery whether the plants are hardy in your area. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used ornamental grasses to add texture, color and to attract wildlife for decades. They never fail to amaze me.

Bookcases can be a lovely, eye-catching room detail, a place to tastefully store books and display keepsakes and collectibles. covering the books with tartan plaid jackets adds color and feeling. wrapping paper or turned backward, he would not be a happy camper. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun visual effect thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new and interesting, and it may be just the touch your bookcase needs to bring it out of its slumber. Perk up your display by adding a few well-chosen accents in the space between books. But a note of caution: One of the biggest mistakes people make when decorating bookcases is to cram them full of lots of tiny objects, creating a look that is chaotic and overwhelming. For a more powerful display, limit yourself to just a few larger pieces, like a gorgeous cachepot, a garden bust or a sizable antique box. Another great look is to place artwork on the shelves of the bookshelf, intermingled with the books. In the built-in bookcases in my living room, I offset Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of books with a few of his favorite butterfly specimens. The artwork helps to break up the sea of spines, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as fetching as these beautiful butterflies.
If you want to pull together several accents into one display, start with a vertical backdrop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; prop a piece of art, a silver tray or china platter upright in an easel. Otherwise, dark bookcase shelves can become black holes into which your carefully constructed display disappears from view. Then, add two or three pieces in front of the backdrop, making sure each one is a different size and texture to give your display interest. Bookcases are also a great place for seasonal displays. Freshen your year-round tableaus by adding a touch of seasonal foliage, berries or flowers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, put a gourd on top of a candlestick, a fall flower under a cloche or a passel of hedge apples in a bowl. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with a larger bookcase, be sure your display is well balanced from one side to the next. To do so, place objects that have the same visual weight opposite each other. For instance, if you put a large blue-and-white ceramic cachepot on the right
side of the bookcase, you will need to place another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or something that carries the same visual weight, like a garden bust or large wooden box â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the left side. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to utilize the space on top of your bookcase when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re decorating. This perch is the perfect place for a dramatic display that you leave up year-round or one you can change up for each season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what I like to do with the antique bibliotheca in my study. I keep a wooden dough bowl up there that extends from end to end, then fill it with seasonal greens, letting a few tendrils of faux vines or branches cascade down the side or front. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a subtle but interesting look that allows me to add just a hint of the season to this beloved room. Picking baskets work well, too.

As you approach styling your bookcases, remember that, first and foremost, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the books. Your design has to revolve around your collection of books. A mistake I see people make is to fill bookcases with accents, not books, so they end up looking more like store displays than bookcases. That said, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be inventive in how you display books in your bookshelf. One easy way to mix things up is to place some of the books in vertical stacks so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have rows and rows of books in a monotonous, straight line. Another technique Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m crazy about right now is to build a monochromatic display with items that have different textures. To create this look in bookcases at Nell Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Briarcliff, we simply flipped the books around so the pages faced out. Then we repeated the creamy white color of the booksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pages using a variety of accents, like white pottery, sea coral, capitals and silver serving pieces. Remember back when your teachers made you cover your textbooks in those ugly book wrappers? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking that parochial look to a whole new level at Nell Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right now, and the overall effect will knock your socks off. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m over the moon about tartan plaid this holiday season, so when I spotted this technique in a travel magazine, I knew I had to copy it at the stores this season. My inspiration photo showed books covered in tartan fabric, but that sounded way too hard to pull off, so instead we used a few different colors of tartan paper. To break up the sea of plaid, we also covered some books in paper that featured vintage world maps. Now, I need to add a quick disclaimer here: This approach is definitely not for everyone. In fact, my husband would kill me if I did this at home. Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchy about his books, so if he found them covered with

Looking for some new ideas to manage lunchtime crowd I’m a good-looking, welldressed guy, and I made her laugh. I was not overly “nice.” She looked me in the eye and told me she wasn’t seeing anyone. We kissed several times, and I walked her to her car. We exchanged numbers. I’ve been burned before, so I asked her to be totally honest with me, and she said she definitely wanted me to call her the next day. I called her and left a voice mail. It’s several days later, and she still hasn’t called me back! Why does this happen to me all the time? What on earth could have gone wrong? — Flummoxed Dear Flummoxed: Girls do call guys back. They just don’t call you back. You’ve discovered what doesn’t work for you. So, to achieve a different result, you’ll have to do things differently. From your description, you come on very strong — making intense eye contact, kissing and wresting assurances from women who are probably as clueless (and possibly drunk) as you are. You need to dial it down. Don’t blame women for the way they react to you. Instead, decode the effect your own behavior has on them. My prescription for you is to watch the all-time greatest movie about callbacks:
“Swingers.” Figure out how to be the cool guy. Then be that guy, and then she’ll call you back. Dear Amy: This issue is trivial, but my wife and I debate it regularly. We sometimes purchase discount restaurant coupons ($10 for $25 worth of food). When we go to dinner with friends, she feels we should share the savings with them. Because we paid for the coupon, I believe we should be entitled to the entire savings. What do you think? — N.A.C.,

Dear Amy: I have been working at my job in the marketing department for five years. Three other co-workers and I started going out to lunch together every Friday. I loved hanging out with them. It was nice to get together and not talk about work. One day a person from the accounting department asked to join us for lunch. He always ate alone, so we welcomed him into our weekly lunch group. ASK There have been several AMY personnel changes and new hires in the accounting department. As a result, more people from the accounting group have joined the Friday lunch group. The group now stands at 13 people, which includes five people from accounting! We now have to take multiple cars, only go to places that can seat larger groups, and it’s becoming more of a hassle than a fun experience. The group is just too big! I just want it to go back to the original Friday marketing lunch crew. How do I politely ask the accounting department to make their own separate lunch group and stop going with us? — Lunch Time Woes Dear Woes: You don’t have to ask the accounting department to stop doing something they’re already doing. You can, however, make some changes to your own routine. If the other marketing members are also frustrated by the larger group and want to make different lunchtime plans, you marketers can pitch your idea to the accountants by telling the truth — with good humor. You say, “Look, it was nice for a while. We had some good times. It’s not you; it’s us. We’re marketing, you’re accounting. You’re left brain, we’re right. It’s not like we have to break up, but we’d like to enjoy a smaller group. Do you guys have ideas for how to manage?” Dear Amy: Why don’t girls call guys back? Why are they dishonest? The other day I met a girl at a club. I was bold and went right up to her and introduced myself. She was smart — just my type — and we had great chemistry.

harmful? I don’t like to use laxatives or stool softeners, but the medications I take do cause constipation. I can’t bring this up to my doctor or anyone else as it’s just too embarrassing. Dear Reader: If you are suffering from occasional constipation, I don’t believe this method will harm you. However, you should inform your doctor. Perhaps your constipation is caused by something other than your medication, such as improper diet or a rectocele. Increase your fluid and fiber consumption to add bulk and moisture to your stool. This alone may resolve your problem. If you continue to have difficulties, a change in medication may be in order. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Constipation and Diarrhea.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD .com. United FeatUre Syndicate

In the movie “The Scotsman,” Nicole Kidman has this line: “When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.” That is so inappropriate for bridge. If you don’t control your future, going down in a contract you could have made, you and your partner will have more unhappiness. That happened on this deal. How should South have played in four hearts after West started the defense with three rounds of spades? North was painted into a corner on the second round of the auction. He couldn’t cue-bid two spades without gameforcing values; he could-
n’t rebid two no-trump without a spade stopper; he couldn’t rebid three clubs without six; and he couldn’t raise diamonds without four. So he settled for two hearts. South, expecting three-card
support, jumped to game in that suit. Declarer ruffed the third spade and played three rounds of hearts. However, West took the third and inconsiderately led another spade. South ruffed, but it was with his last heart. He could cash two diamonds and two clubs, but West took the last two tricks with his trump and a spade for down two. Declarer did not keep trumps under control. At trick four, he should have led the heart jack from his hand. If West won with his queen and persevered with another spade, South would ruff with dummy’s heart nine, cross to his hand in a minor, and draw trumps. If West ducked, declarer would draw two more rounds of trumps, then play on the minors.

Dear Reader: Your mother is likely suffering from a condition known as hemochromatosis. It is the most common form of iron-overload disease. There are several forms, including primary/hereditary, secondary, juvenile and neonatal. Primary or hereditary hemochromatosis is generally caused by a defect of the gene HFE, which regulates the amount of iron absorbed from food. There are two mutations, C282Y and H63D. Those with one copy of the defect C282Y become carriers who don’t develop hemochromatosis but may have higher-than-
normal iron levels throughout life. Those with two copies can develop the condition. Secondary is caused by anemia, alcoholism and other disorders. Juvenile and neonatal hemochromatosis are caused by a mutation of the gene hemojuvelin. Treatment, as you know, is phlebotomy (blood drawing). If started before the condition progresses, it may prevent symptoms; otherwise, it typically improves but doesn’t eliminate symptoms. Arthritis caused by iron overload will not benefit from treatment. There is no other treatment available.

Dear Dr. Gott: My mother is 81 years old. She has a problem with producing too much iron in her blood. The only treatment that we are aware of is to have blood drawn off when the count gets too high. What causes this? Is it hereditary? What can we do to keep the count low? Please let me know whether there is a relationship to the environment or food. Also, when the count starts to get high, her head starts to itch and she feels totally worn out. Can you help us? My mother is on warfarin for blood clots in her legs (twice), calciplus D, DR. PETER um Actonel once GOTT a month, methotrexate for arthritis, folic acid and PreserVision for degeneration of her eyes.

There’s a better way. Realtors and newspaper classifieds are the first sources people turn to when they’re looking for real estate information.
In fact, more than half of home buyers say they don’t just read classified real estate ads; they actually act on them.*
So doesn’t it just make sense to sell your home through a Realtor who advertises in the pages of the Salisbury Post? With one quick call, your Realtor can tell thousands of buyers all the special things about your home.
So, highlight your home in the medium that gets homebuyers moving. Open doors with the Salisbury Post.
And the Salisbury Post reaches them when they’re actually looking for a house to buy – not just when they happen to pass by a particular telephone pole.
