Second Creek reboot?

The art of giving

LandTrust seeks to ease restrictions on former Kannapolis land in Rowan BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

shavonne potts/SALISBURY POST

Local artist Marietta Foster Smith stands next to her work titled ‘Safe and Warm,’ which was chosen as the Rowan Helping Ministries Honor Card this year. Proceeds from sales of the cards benefit Rowan Helping Ministries.

Marietta Foster Smith designs 2010 RHM Honor Card BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

s a child Marietta Foster Smith always knew she wanted to become an artist. She painted her first portrait — of her niece and nephew — at the age of 12. “I used the paint from a paint-bynumbers my brother gave me,” she recalled. Her older siblings were artists. One brother is a blacksmith; another brother is a painter and does architectural designs; and an older sister is also a painter. She and her sister would fight over the white cardboard liner that came in their mother’s pantyhose, she recalled, “because it was white with no blue lines” and a good canvas for painting or drawing. Today Smith and her husband, Mark Smith, live in Salisbury. The Rowan Helping Ministries Honor Card committee selected Smith’s work to be featured on the 2010 Christmas card. The Honor Card has been a Rowan Helping Ministries tradition for almost two decades. Smith said she set out to create something that was traditional, yet not traditional. The card shows two children looking out a window at snow falling. Smith said she painted the portrait, a watercolor titled “Safe and Warm,” with Rowan Helping Ministries in mind.

“I wanted to show children in a safe, warm place. As a society, we all have the responsibility to make sure all children have a safe place to be,” she said. She enjoys drawing children because it reminds her of her childhood. “When I was little, I would draw babies and fairies on my homework,” she said. Smith does illustrations, sculptures, murals, graphic design and paintings. She paints in watercolors, oils and acrylics. “I keep trying to settle on one thing, but I enjoy a lot of different styles,” she said. She didn’t take art classes in elementary and high school because they weren’t offered. But she more than made up for it by majoring in studio art and arts management in college. She became the executive director of the Associated Arts in Winston-Salem. She was head of the drawing and painting department at Sawtooth Center for the Visual Arts. She was most recently the executive director of the Rowan Arts Council. All of Smith’s work has allowed her the opportunity to help others and be inspired by other artists, she said. She is now a full-time artist. Smith teaches watercolor at Rufty-Holmes Senior Center and has a studio at Railwalk Studios and Gallery at Lee Street. “I feel very fortunate to be in a town that is so supportive of artists,” she said. The Honor Card is a way artists can support their community through Rowan Helping Ministries. The card is a way to

recognize friends, a co-worker, a family member, teacher or others by making a minimum donation of $5 in their honor. Each month, Rowan Helping Ministries provides food, financial assistance to prevent eviction and utility disconnections, and clothing to more than 500 families. “This artwork speaks to the heart of who Rowan Helping Ministries is — a place where Rowan County residents in need or in financial crisis can feel safe and warm,” said Executive Director Kyna FOSTER Foster. Sponsors for the 2010 card are Dennis and Kathi Hill, Diane B. Hundley, Raymond and Kay Coltrain, Huffman Law Firm, J.E. Fisher Insurance Inc., Rowan Medical Center and SunTrust Bank. The Honor Card is available at The Bible Book Store, Pleasant Papers, Trinity Oaks Retirement Center, Critters, F&M Bank (all branches), Stitchin’ Post & Gifts, Quick Copy, Lions Share Credit Union, Caniche and Rowan Helping Ministries. ••• For more about artist Marietta Foster Smith go to her website, www.mariettafostersmith.com.

8th District race one of country’s most watched BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

Two years ago, Democrat Larry Kissell rode a wave of energized voters to victory in the 8th District U.S. House race. It was his second bid against longtime Republican Congressman Robin Hayes of Concord. In just over a week, voters will decide whether Kissell, a former textile worker and teacher from Biscoe, will keep his seat. Republican challenger Harold Johnson, a former WSOC-TV sportscaster, has name recognition, a stated commitment to Ronald Reagan’s conservatism and an energized conservative base. An Oct. 17 Gallup poll reported that 48 percent of registered voters are likely to vote for the Republican candidate for Congress, while 43 percent of registered voters were likely to vote for the Democratic candidate. In recent weeks, the Post interviewed Kissell at his Washington,

D.C. office and Johnson at his office in Concord. Both men were asked what their top priorities would be if elected. Both gave the same answer. KISSELL “The economy is number one,” Kissell said. But, he said, things have improved since 2008. “We could go through the numbers of how bad the economy was at the end of 2008 in terms of the GDP (gross domestic product) shrinking,” Kissell said. But, he said, the government’s intervention has helped things be better than they otherwise would have been. “It hasn’t been fixed,” Kissell

He said he was in favor of incentives to bring companies to a particular area, as long as there JOHNSON were strong restrictions so that companies receiving a tax break would have to pay it back if they didn’t fulfill expectations. Both men said they would do all they could to support the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis. “I think it’s wonderful what David Murdock has put together,” Johnson said.

KANNAPOLIS — Three years ago, Kannapolis sold about 463 acres of its Second Creek land holdings in Rowan County to the LandTrust for Central North Carolina. The plan at the time was for the LandTrust to resell the property to the State of North Carolina as a game preserve. But the sour economy has not only kept the state from buying, it’s kept the LandTrust from finding a buyer among private individuals who’d be willing to accept restrictive easements. Now, city staff report the Salisbury-based LandTrust has a buyer for the land, on which the nonprofit has paid some $105,000 in debt service, taxes and insurance since 2007, according to a city report. But in order to sell, the city will have to agree to changes in the easements allowing up to four homes, a barn, and “other farm related structures” on the property, according to the report that accompanies the council agenda. The Kannapolis City Council will take up the issue at its meeting today. Originally, the sale of the land to the LandTrust included easements preventing the construction of buildings and recreational uses, industrial and commercial uses, excavation for minerals or dumping. Also prohibited under the terms of the original agreement were “agricultural, timber

GOP riding the tide N.C. Republicans hope national wave extends to state Legislature BY GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

BURLINGTON (AP) — Two years ago, Republican Rick Gunn lost to Democratic Sen. Tony Foriest by 5 percentage points when North Carolina Democrats benefited from President Obama’s popularity to sustain their majorities in the Legislature. Now, with the winds seemingly shifting to Republicans nationwide, state GOP leaders believe they can make history. But they say they need Gunn, a Burlington real estate company executive, to defeat Foriest for it to happen. Republicans haven’t led both chambers at the same time since their Fusion coalition with farmers got defeated in 1898. That includes a 112-year losing streak in the Senate and only four years of House control in the 1990s. They need to win six extra seats in the Senate or nine in the House to return to power. Democrats are largely playing defense. “We don’t want to win this district. We don’t need to win this district. We have to win this district,” state GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer said at a Burlington hotel luncheon asking local business owners to pony up $30,000 more for Gunn’s campaign for more TV ads in the final days. Democrats and Republicans in the political equivalent of hand-to-hand combat since the summer have lobbed mailers and television commercials in dozens of districts, accusing candidates of being soft on crime, illegal immigration and fiscal responsibility. Intense efforts to get voters out to the polls are taking up the final days. “The candidates have already spent a lot of their resources and the races are coming down to turnout,” said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe. “We knew that a year ago and it’s proven to be true

YESTERDAY: Victory Theatre This photograph at the Square in Salisbury, looking south toward the Victory Theatre, was taken either Feb. 21 or 22, 1943, based on the movie attraction “Desperate Journey,” starring Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan. The Victory Theatre opened in 1915 as the Main Theatre, changing to “Victory” by January 1920. The Victory Theatre closed for good on Dec. 24, 1956. Its final attraction was “Hot Shots,” starring Huntz Hall and The Bowery Boys. Four days later, the building suffered its third fire. The other two fires occurred in 1928 and 1947. Playing at other Salisbury-Rowan County theatres the day this photo was taken were “The Meanest Man in the World,” with Jack Benny and Pricilla Lane, at the Capitol; “The Avengers,” with Ralph Richardson and Deborah Kerr, at the State Theatre; “Who Done It?” with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, at the Rockwell Theatre; and “Holiday Inn,” with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, at the Spencer Theatre. This photograph comes from Salisbury barber Walt Shoaf. Information was supplied by Mike Cline.

Owner of proposed nightclub returns to Planning Board Request will be made for bar allowance

Lee Karriker, Brooke Lowery and Trenton Long in the background ride around the arena under the watchful eyes of Dr. Andy Gardner and Gina Compton at the Rugged Cross Cowboy Church Roundup.

The owner of a proposed country and bluegrass nightclub will return to the Salisbury Planning Board at 4 p.m. Tuesday seeking permission to open. Owner Karen Littleton is scheduled to request an allowance for a bar at 127 E. Innes St. The board will take public comment and hear testimony from city staff before making a recommendation to Salisbury City Council. Planning Board delayed action on Littleton’s previous request until she could provide more information about security and safety at the bar. Members said they wanted to see written security guidelines, as well as behavior expectations for employees and customers. They also requested that Littleton provide the criteria she must meet for obtaining ABC and ALE licenses. The city requires a special use permit for a nightclub. The Planning Board also will hear a committee report on the Eastern Gateway Area Plan.

Four businessmen to be inducted into Catawba Business Hall of Fame Nov. 6

Craig Compton demonstrates how to properly rope a calf at the Rugged Cross Cowboy Church Roundup Sunday afternoon.

Unique method employed to call people to worship The Rugged Cross Cowboy Church held its first “roundup” Sunday afternoon for children and adults at the Craig and Gina Compton farm on Shinn Road near Mount Ulla. The roundup consisted of horseback riding, roping a dummy calf, a calf scramble and food. Most of the children from the area had never been on a horse, so riding was very popular under the watchful eye of Dr. Andy Gardner and other adults in the arena. Pastor Dr. Tim Potter said he was very pleased with the number of people who came to the roundup. Potter’s goal with the roundup was to make new friends and connections with the residents in the Mount Ulla area for the

church. The congregation is relatively new. The church was founded in Sept. 2009 with Craig and Gina Compton, Dr. Andy Gardner, the Rev. Dr. Tim Potter and his wife, Shawn, as the founding members. Dr. Potter has another Cowboy Church in Huntersville that meets on Friday nights. The Rugged Cross Cowboy Church holds services on Monday nights at the Compton farm in their large barn. Many of the members have horses and compete in competitions with their horses on the weekend, making the Monday night meeting time more accessible. Non-horse owners are welcome at the services as well.

Six-year-old Justin McDaniel tries to get the horse to turn around at the roundup.

Catawba College’s Ketner School of Business will host the fourth annual Business Hall of Fame inductions Nov. 6 in Peeler Crystal Lounge of the Robertson College-Community Center on campus.

A reception, featuring the inductees will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the dinner and awards ceremony at 6:45 p.m. Catawba alumnus Joey Popp, a member of the Business Advisory Board for the Ketner School of Busi- SEIWELL ness, will be the master of ceremonies for the event again this year. Tickets are $45 per person or $80 per couple and are available by calling Cecilia Stach in the Ketner School of Business at 704-6374405 by Oct 29. Previous inductees include Darlene Landis Ball of Greensboro; the late WILLIAMSON Enoch A. Goodman of Salisbury; James F. Hurley III of Salisbury; the late Claude S. Abernethy Jr. of Newton; C. A.

The ‘calf scramble’ event at the Rugged Cross Cowboy Church Roundup consisted of the children chasing two calves to get the ribbons off their tails.

A 1960 alumnus of UNC Chapel Hill, Fisher serves as chairman and CEO of F&M Bank. A native of Granite Quarry, he is a member of the N.C. Banking Commission and former president of the N.C. Bankers Association. He was a member of the N.C. Air National Guard between 1960 and 1968. A member of the Catawba College board of trustees since 1975, he currently serves as chairman of that board. Catawba recognized his service to the college by awarding him its Adrian L. Shuford Award for Distinguished Service in 1997. Catawba awarded him an honorary doctorate of humanitarian service in 1994.

School board to hear update on Race to the Top application at today’s meeting Revised inclement weather protocols will also be considered for approval The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education will receive an update on the district’s Race to the Top application during its regular meeting today. The school system must submit a plan detailing specifics goals and targets which align the district with the state’s Race to the Top vision and initiatives before receiving its $2.4 million portion of the federal reform grant. The state’s plan is crafted after Gov. Bev Perdue’s Ready, Set, Go! initiative, which focuses on making sure students master reading and math skills by the end of third grade, increasing the number of students who perform at or above grade level and ensuring students receive a firm foundation before taking on a career, college or technical training. North Carolina received $400 million from the grant, approximately half of which has been earmarked for distribution to local education agencies. The goal of the funds, part of $4.35 billion distributed nationwide, is to drive school

improvement by encouraging educational innovation and reform.

A R E A / S TAT E

Halloween Carnival and its games, food and movies fondly recalled T pole” to which a string is tied, with the other end of the string being tied to a clothespin. He then casts his “line” over a sheet, but if he is too short to do so, the teacher on the outside of the sheet throws it over for him. His “fish” (a bag of goodies) is “caught” by the clothespin and hurled back over the sheet by a teacher secreted within that “fishing tent.” A really young, impressionable and inquisitive child would wonder as to the use of a clothespin instead of a hook, not realizing that this sort of “fish”needed some extra outside help to be caught. In the bag would be a couple of pieces of candy, some Bazooka bubble gum, some plastic fingers and a handful of peanuts baked “in the shell” by the teachers working the fish pond. They had evidently baked the peanuts at home in their stove ovens, since some were a little overdone, but those tasted better, just as did the most delicious popcorn back then, popped in butter, with the best tasting popped kernels having a bit of a singe. There were several tables selling homemade pies, cookies, fudge, etc., but the homemade candy, which was my favorite, was equally referred to as sea foam and divinity (something of the divine during a season of restless spirits). To me, divinity was sweet and delicious, but it also reminded me of something from the Old Testament: “Manna from Heaven.” I could have easily pictured divinity being gathered from the ground in the earliest rays of the sun by the Israelites in the wilderness before being melted into the sand by the noontime heat. In one classroom, I recall

a 10- to 15-minute film being continually rerun throughout the evening. It was a 16milimeter film, shown, of course, on a 16-milimeter projector. During class time, through that format of 16milimeter film, we would sometimes see special programs on science, history (the old “You Are There” series with Walter Cronkite), some films relating to manufacturing such as “Industry on Parade,” and two films shown around the time of the seventh or eighth grade, one for the boys and one for the girls, with both groups being in different rooms to see the film of particular “interest” to them. With our young age, on that night in the 1950s, it was entirely appropriate for the boys and the girls together to watch the film which was shown: a Laurel and Hardy short subject. In it, Laurel and Hardy were holed up in a cabin in a snowstorm. I seem to remember that every time Stan Laurel would go outside to get firewood, he would slam the door and a great pile of snow would fall on him from off of the roof. All of us laughed at this with total delight. It’s comforting that even now, slapstick comedy never fails to make young children laugh. I enjoyed the movie so much that I watched it five or six times, my mother having to drag me from it (figuratively with pleading, not physically, by the arm). I recall a particular ride being set up outside the school, one which resembled a reduced version of the Tilta-Whirl, with only three or four riding compartments, but I was too scared to ride it. After the night at the Granite Quarry Halloween

Carnival and our individual night of “devilment” in our community along the Old Concord Road, we would celebrate All Saints Day at Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church, singing the hymns of the church calendar appropriate to that day and listening to sermons on that subject, preached in earlier years by Pastor L.C. Bumgarner, Pastor William Ride-

Greensboro police investigate two deaths GREENSBORO (AP) — Police say a 28-year-old man and a 7-year-old boy have been found dead in a Greensboro home. Greensboro police said in a news release that officers found the bodies of Marquise Steens and Malique Steens on Saturday night. Police went to the home after a call about a health issue.

Sometimes what goes unseen is noticed the most. Every day we provide many things that aren’t always visible. Warmth just happens to be one of them. And not just the traditional warmth you get from natural gas. But the warmth that comes from seeing our customers and employees helping those who are less fortunate. People in our communities who are living without basic things like food, shelter and heat. At Piedmont Natural Gas, we always make it our mission to share warmth. Whether it’s through employee fundraising campaigns or the financial support we provide, giving back to the communities where we live and work comes naturally. So much so, that we formed the Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation in 2004 to support nonprofits throughout the areas we serve. Since then, we have invested and distributed more than $4.5 million in grants to worthy organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. These grants help fund initiatives ranging from environmental stewardship and energy education, to training programs and crisis assistance. In the aftermath of the 2010 Tennessee

he fall festivals of today were what my classmates and I , as well as the teachers and the principal, Mr. C.L. Barnhardt of Granite Quarry School, referred to as the Halloween Carnival. If someone as solid and as good a person as C.L. Barnhardt saw fit to call MACK WILLIAMS it that, then I feel posthumously bolstered by him in calling it that as well (this is all that I will say about political correctness). After all, please remember that after Halloween comes All Saint’s Day! The carnival was always held in the gym. I started to call it the “old gym” because it looked old, even then, in the late 1950s. I imagine the current crop of “Quarriers” has a newer one with which to work. Tables were brought in and set up in the gym to sell a variety of items to raise money to buy items to benefit our education( today’s selling of things for schools goes back a long time). One table offered used comic books for sale. In those years of my memory, some including the late 1950s, these comic books were sold as “used,” their use being much closer to their copyright date than if they were sold today. As a small child, I always liked the “fishing pond.” Its popularity hasn’t waned, as my late wife was in charge of such a pond one Halloween at the school where she taught. In this activity, a child is given a “fishing

floods, the Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation gave $200,000 to organizations in support of flood relief efforts while employees were on the scene restoring service, making homes safe and distributing food and water to displaced residents. But what really stands out is the giving spirit of our customers. Through the energy assistance program we call Share The Warmth, our customers can round up their monthly bill to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to an approved Share the Warmth agency. All of the money raised helps low-income families in the community pay their energy bills regardless of the energy source used in the home — including natural gas, propane, oil and electricity. And while our customers may not see much of a difference, every amount donated can give others a whole new outlook. Giving back is just one example of how our energy shows at Piedmont Natural Gas. It’s all part of enriching our communities. And even though you can’t see everything we provide, the warmth we deliver is something that everyone can feel.

SALISBURY POST

A R E A / N AT I O N

Response to unemployment column overwhelming ... and appreciated I waste of time to work on those piles of clutter. Another column was about how stressful it is when the time comes for my monthly housekeeper visit. She had asked me to work on the piles of clutter and I just never seemed to get around to it. On the rainy morning this past Wednesday, I went after them. I keep finding things that I had forgotten. Some things that I have bought again and some more that I thought I needed. It is becoming fun to go after another pile of clutter. I have a huge walk-in pantry that has everything but food in it. That one probably will be cleaned next week. I already know there is more Coinstar change and some Christmas decorations that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used in a while. There might be an even bigger Christmas display this year. I keep going through clothing drawers and closets, then filling boxes for Rowan Helping Ministries. I am trying to save on my cell phone bill by using my

house phone. I had considered taking out the house phone, but now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. There is unlimited long distance, no time limits, and good service to anywhere. Lots more food remains in the cupboard and I am gradually using it. I have even turned on the oven a few times. Elaine Brown invited me over to eat the other day after saying that she had endured unemployment for seven months. Another method of saving was confirmed by a segment on the morning news. It is better to stay out of convenience stores. When I buy gas, I usually go in and get some kind of snack. So does much of America. An average of $3 a day is spent at the convenience store. Mine was probably more. Then there is lunch. Not going out to eat and bringing lunch from home saves an average of $7 a day. All this makes a lot of sense to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already about $250 a month ahead just from not having to go to work. Joe Overby stopped by and

told me he understood the situation. He gave me some good tips and good conversation. He reminded me that softball is still being played on Wednesdays and now I could come participate since I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be at work. Jackie Harris told me she was sure glad today is Friday, then she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for you, everyday is like Friday!â&#x20AC;? I guess it is, at least for the time being. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using up those accumulated gift cards. We got two matinees to see Secretariat the other day. It was fun to see such a good movie for free. I even have one for two nights at the beach and I am heading there tomorrow. Two conversations really stood out, and both offered me hope for the future. My youngest daughter called the other night and said that she was going to pay back some of the money she owes me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it before, but I believe this time she actually might. It will still be shocking if it happens. The other one was the headliner. Bill Godley called and said that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wor-

ried about me having enough to eat. Way, way back in the farthest recesses of the freezer, even behind more frozen pizza, Bill said he knew that I had plenty of food left. He was quick to re-

realized the other day that my column is one year old. It sure has been fun. Speaking of fun, the response to my recent unemployment column surprised me quite a bit. Immediately I started to get calls, visits and e-mails from some that I know and some that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Quite a few had stories of their own job loss. DAVID One just FREEZE wanted to make sure that I still had more free manure. Some had helpful tips, but nearly all were sorry to hear the news. With such a response, I thought we could all smile with some new ideas from both you and me. For me, I have noticed an overwhelming need to simplify what is around me. My house is reasonably clean, but is cluttered in some areas. Whenever the weather is bad, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like it is a

Eagle Scout project gives Nazareth Home residents a fleet of bicycles ROCKWELL — As Sunday afternoon turned toward evening, a line of trucks pulled into the driveway of Nazareth Children’s Home, hauling trailers full of bicycles behind them. Kids and staff streamed from the playground and cottages to follow. In the lead car, Matt Gannon of Boy Scout Troop 401 smiled out at the procession. It was the last lap in his Eagle Scout project, a mission to give Nazareth’s kids and teens their own bicycles.

Almost immediately, kids began sizing up their new wheels. Sheldon, a 13-year-old resident, spotted a bike that he liked right away — a silver “Manta” with knobby tires. He appreciated Gannon’s gift to the home. “It shows us that people out there care about us,” said Sheldon, whose last name is not being reported due to privacy concerns. Kenyanah, 10, said the gift of bicycles was a pleasant surprise. “I’m very happy,” she said, beaming as she sat on one of the new two-wheelers. Gannon supervised as volunteers unloaded a total of 38 bicycles and three donated metal bike racks.

But Gannon smiled as he moved around the crowd of excited young people, talking to them and to Nazareth staff. “It gives me a good feeling to be a source of happiness,” Gannon said. Williams said that Gannon approached staff some weeks ago seeking ideas for projects that would benefit the approximately 40 kids and teens who live there.

County — 78 donations in all, Gannon said. Not all of them were usable; some were disassembled for parts. He’s spent the last few weeks replacing inner tubes, gearboxes and chains, inspecting the cycles for safety and cleaning them up. Donations also included racks so the bikes can be locked up when not in use. They’ll be housed in a shed to keep them from being stolen, which Williams said had been the fate of previous bicycle donations. In addition, Gannon handed over five helmets and a cash donation so the home can purchase more so that kids will ride safely. “Matt has so worked hard to get this project going,” said Tim Smith, scoutmaster of Troop 401, based at Sacred Heart C a t h o l i c Church in Salisbury. In all, Gannon has devoted more than 60 hours of work to the bicycle restoration effort. “These are the kind of Ea-

harvesting, grazing and horticultural use.” City Manager Mike Legg told the Post on Sunday that he couldn’t speak to how the potential buyers would use the land. “As to the impact on the city or LandTrust if the changes do not happen … for the city it would have no effect,” Legg said via e-mail. “We have already sold the property with the current restrictions so we would not be

TIDE FROM 1a now. The stakes are higher than usual at the close of every two-year cycle in the 170-seat General Assembly. The winning party in each chamber gets the upper hand for redrawing House or Senate districts boundaries based on 2010 census figures. The losing party could face an inherent disadvantage through 2020. “If we don’t take advantage of the situation, it may not be available in the future,” said Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake. While Democrats still have advantages that come with incumbency and millions of dollars are still entering their campaign coffers, GOP candidates and the state party have narrowed fundraising gaps. Fetzer said Republicans have gotten a larger share of business-related donations than in years past as business owners have become frustrated with Washington and Raleigh. Democrats have had to defend a budget they passed that raised taxes by more than $1 billion annually to narrow a gap, which they said was also closed by cutting state government spending to the bone. Democrats argue they prevented thousands of additional teacher layoffs in this year’s budget and point to signs of economic recovery and studies showing North Carolina still among the best states for business.

Democrats have “got a record to run on. Democratic legislators have been producing results for their home districts as well as the state,” said Ferrel Guillory, director of the Program on Public Life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. But “many things are working to the advantage of the Republicans right now.” Republicans have fielded candidates in all but about a dozen of the 170 races. That has required more Democratic leaders, including vulnerable House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson, to protect their own turf instead of sending funds elsewhere. “I doubt that Rep. Holliman is exporting any money to any other candidates,” said House Minority Whip Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said Republican policies would wreck the public schools, derail the economic recovery and offend voters. Republicans have pushed unsuccessfully for years a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. “They won’t protect education but we will,” Hackney said. “A lot of them are very extreme on social issues that a lot of North Carolinians wouldn’t like.” In the House, where Democrats hold a 68-52 advantage, Hackney argues the chamber will remain in his party’s hands. Republicans have predicted winning an additional 12 to 14 more seats. In the Senate, where De-

COPS replaces the proposed tax increment financing plan that the current economy has kept from going forward. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-797-4244.

mocrats hold a 30-20 advantage, several key incumbents didn’t run this year — opening opportunities for Republicans in the districts held by retiring Democratic Sens. Julia Boseman of New Hanover County, David Hoyle of Gaston County and R.C. Soles of Columbus County. Which party wins the Senate is likely to depend on who wins seats held by Foriest, a retired Xerox Corp. executive seeking his third term, and three mountain districts held by Democratic Sens. Steve Goss of Watauga County, Joe Sam Queen of Haywood County and John Snow of Cherokee County. Foriest has been a target of Real Jobs NC, a group that’s raised more than $1 million from conservative donors. It’s running ads blaming him for failing to help the state’s recovery by backing the 2009 budget that raised taxes. Foriest said his re-election should be based on his full record, not just one vote. “The economy plays a big role in how people vote and as an incumbent I carry a big bulls-eye on me,” Foriest said, but “Tony Foriest didn’t create this worldwide recession.”

“I haven’t tried one or two serious cases over my career. I have tried a wide variety of the most serious and most complicated cases, year after year. I have stood up for crime victims, time after time. And particularly, I have stood up for our children. In deciding who has the most experience in protecting the citizens in this County, you have to compare the types of cases each candidate has handled and with what results. Sometimes you have to try the hard cases, win or lose, because it is the right thing to do. My record speaks for itself. I do not believe that you deal with heavy workloads by dismissing cases and plea bargaining them away. This office has consistently tried more cases before a jury than other offices in this State and has maintained one of the lowest dismissal rates in the State. I have won countless jury verdicts that have been appealed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals and affirmed. Eight times, my cases have established new law, enabling prosecutors all over this State to use it to make their cases stronger and their prosecutions more successful. Strength in the courtroom is a key component in this office.”

"The Administrative Office of the Courts has recognized that our office is only staffed at 71% of the personnel level needed for the workload we face. But we have always done more with less, without sacrificing justice for the citizens of Rowan County. That will not change if I am elected District Attorney."

FROM 1A has got to help all of us,” Johnson said. Kissell, who in recent months has brought diplomats to tour the campus, said the biotechnology research facility was “a great investment toward creating jobs and opportunity.” “It affects the commerce of North Carolina and the whole east coast,” Kissell said. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is one of the campus’ tenants at present: its Human Nutrition Center is one of seven in the nation. Kissell recently told the Post the NCRC hopes to secure a $1 million Congressional earmark for 2011, followed by another $1 million annually as a line item in President Obama’s budget. But Kissell also mentioned the need to curb spending. “We have to find out what are the more essential items and be sure we concentrate on those that are going to be the best investments,” Kissell said. “There are opportunities there (at the NCRC). Nutrition research, obesity. ... But it is a tough market. Maybe at one time it was easier to make these funding choices.” The budget is also a major concern for Johnson, who said he’s heard from many voters who are concerned about what they see as runaway government spending. “I cannot remember the electorate being just so angry at what they’re seeing coming from Washington,” Johnson said. He mentioned one report which claims that, by 2012, the nation’s debt service will be $600 million per year. Johnson said the disconnect he sees between citizens and their Congressional representatives is a main reason for running. “I remember days when those in Washington, politicians, listened to their constituents,” Johnson said. He said he believes Washington’s attitude is “disrespectful,” and decried what he sees as a wasteful government.

gy,” Johnson said, “but we totally hit the skids as far as nuclear advancement.” Johnson said that, for example, as much as 80 percent of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power sources. A review of various published reports put the actual figure between 75 and 77 percent, but Johnson’s main point was that nuclear power has been tested and is reliable. “The French will protest and demonstrate at the drop of a wine glass, and they know it’s safe,” Johnson said. Johnson also said that WAYne hinshAW/SALISBURY POST Above, Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell speaks in his Wash- North Carolinians should conington office. Below, Republican challenger Harold Johnson sider energy exploration off the state’s coast. talks about the campaign in his Concord office. “From what I’ve understood, North Carolina is very fertile ground for gas and oil drilling,” Johnson said. “That’s not fashionable, maybe, right now, but it is something that cannot be ignored.” Neither man was overly critical of his rival in person. Asked to comment on his opponent, Kissell declined to make any particular criticism of Johnson.

Johnson acknowledged the Republicans didn’t do much to reduce the national debt during the George W. Bush administration, but says his approach would be different. “The Republican party has learned that you cannot spend your way to prosperity,” Johnson said. Kissell, however, said the stimulus plan which began at the end of the Bush administration has been vital to recovery. “It was the measure it was supposed to be, to give the boost to the economy that was needed at the time,” Kissell said. Going forward, Kissell said he wanted to see an increased focus on infrastructure and education jobs — both of which, he said, are necessary to the country’s future. Kissell also pointed to his contributions as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, including a bill changing the Department of Defense’s procurement procedures which he claimed will

“save over $100 billion in the next five years.” “I am one of the most moderate members of the House,” Kissell said. According to his campaign website, in recent days Kissell has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association, becoming one of only a handful of Democrats the gun-rights group has supported. But he has drawn fire from members of his own party for his vote against health care overhaul legislation earlier this year. Johnson has said he, too, would have voted against health care reform, which he believes to be flawed. Johnson has spoken in favor of medical malpractice reform and eliminating bans that keep insurers from selling plans across state lines. If elected, Johnson said he will also support a greater emphasis on domestic energy production, especially nuclear power. “It was our great mindset that pioneered nuclear ener-

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

Johnson was critical of Kissell’s vote on stimulus legislation, but his criticisms extended to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama as well. In the days since the Post’s interviews with Johnson and Kissell, the attacks in television ads and mailings have grown more heated — many of them coming from third parties. But in interviews, Kissell and Johnson stayed focused more on their goals and aspirations. “I think most people are in the middle, and the best answers come from the middle,” Kissell said. “My thoughts continue to be that the best way to get reelected is to do a good job and keep your promises. We’re just going to stay focused on what we are doing,” Kissell said. “I’d take a chapter from Ronald Reagan’s book,” Johnson said. “This is America. We have survived because of the great American mindset, the great American will. We survive be-

cause this is what we do. This is why we’re a great superpower.” In a frame on the desk of his office, Johnson points to a photo of himself with President Ronald Reagan during the president’s 1984 visit to Charlotte. Similarly, on the wall behind his desk, Kissell has a photo of himself with President Obama. In their own ways, these two very different presidents — the outsider who rode a wave of change to office, the media personality promising reform — mirror each candidate’s bid to keep or gain the District 8 House seat in one of the most divisive elections in modern history.

Employer health benefits have been a middle-class mainstay since World War II, when companies were encouraged to offer health insurance instead of pay raises. About 150 million workers and family members are now covered. When lawmakers debated the legislation, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected it would only have minimal impact on employer plans. About 3 million fewer people would be covered through the job, but they’d be able to get insurance elsewhere. Two provisions in the new law are leading companies to look at their plans in a different light. One is a hefty tax on highcost health insurance aimed at the most generous coverage. Although the “Cadillac tax” doesn’t hit until 2018, companies may have to disclose their exposure to investors well before that. A Boeing spokeswoman said concerns about the tax were partly behind a 50 percent increase in insurance deductibles the company just announced. The tax is 40 percent of the value of a plan above $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for a family plan. Family coverage now averages about $13,800. Bigger questions loom over the new insurance markets that will be set up under the law. They’re called exchanges, and every state will have one in a few years. Consumers will be able to shop for coverage among a range of plans in the exchange, with a guarantee they can’t be turned down because of an existing medical problem. To help make premiums affordable, the law provides tax credits for households making up to four times the federal poverty level, about $88,000 for a family of four. Tennessee Gov. Bredesen said last week that employers could save big money by dropping their health plans and sending workers to buy coverage in the exchange. They’d face a fine of $2,000 per work-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new health care law wasn’t supposed to undercut employer plans that have provided most people in the U.S. with coverage for generations. But last week a leading manufacturer told workers their costs will jump partly because of the law. Also, a Democratic governor laid out a scheme for employers to get out of health care by shifting workers into taxpayer-subsidized insurance markets that open in 2014. While it’s too early to proclaim the demise of job-based coverage, corporate number crunchers are looking at options that could lead to major changes. “The economics of dropping existing coverage is about to become very attractive to many employers, both public and private,” said Gov. Phil Bredesen, DTenn. That’s just not going to happen, White House officials say. BREDESEN “The absolute certainty about the Affordable Care Act is that for many, many employers who cover millions of people, it increases the incentives for them to offer coverage,” said Jason Furman, an economic adviser to President Barack Obama. Yet at least one major employer has shifted a greater share of plan costs to workers, and others are weighing the pros and cons of eventually forcing employees to strike out on their own. “I don’t think you are going to hear anybody publicly say ‘We’ve made a decision to drop insurance,’ ” said Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. “What we are hearing in our meetings is, ‘We don’t want to be the first one to drop benefits, but we would be the fast second.’ We are hearing that a lot.” Deloitte is a major accounting and consulting firm.

A message for all the candidates

Bingham dedicated to justice, fairness Humble beginnings. Arduous worker. Academically gifted. Compassionate. Trustworthy. Dedicated public servant. Those words merely begin to describe David Y. Bingham, my first choice for Superior Court judge. I first met David in 1999 while working at Bernhardt Hardware as The Plant Lady. David is the husband of the former Eva Bernhardt, for whom I have great admiration. I wondered about Miss Eva’s attraction to and love for this man who seemed so different than she. I wonder no more! I perceived David as somewhat aloof and unfriendly as he did not engage me in my penchant for chatting. What a misimpression! David just doesn’t like idle chat ... which does not serve him well in “politicking”. With David it’s “just the facts, ma’am.” David is quiet and studious. He is able to grasp the essence and truth in one’s words and present them with brevity and clarity. He loves the law and truly represents his clients zealously. These abilities make him a great attorney. I have seen his love and loyalty to his wife and his mother and can’t help but marvel at what a wonderful dad he would have been had God blessed him with children. I was proud to loan him my son, Noah! David is not a lofty country club sort of guy. He is respectful and thoughtful toward those with less means and opportunities than he. I have witnessed his compassion to the lowly and downtrodden, taking people into his home when no others would have. I can assure you that David Y. Bingham will rule from the bench with integrity, impartiality and fairness. I place my trust in David as not only the first choice but as the best choice for Superior Court judge. — Melba Eagle Melton Granite Quarry

Wagoner has integrity, experience and drive It is with honor and great satisfaction that we can write this letter of endorsement for Anna Mills Wagoner for Superior Court judge. This fine person is of original mind, with great drive for performing to perfection. She has the ability to organize her duties and carry them out with or without help, and succeeds by perseverance. Anna Mills Wagoner’s courtroom demeanor is impeccable and reflects favorably on the entire court system. Anna Mills Wagoner possesses unquestioned integrity, experience, dedication and is well versed in all phases of the law. On Nov. 2, we will cast out vote for Anna Mills Wagoner and encourage you to do likewise. — Helen & Harold Earnhardt Rockwell

Think; think again; then vote (Harry) OK, I am a registered Republican (when younger a Democrat like my parents), but I never vote “straight ticket.” Call me an “independent” Republican. I try to check out all candidates and vote for those I feel will be best for my country, state and county. We must all think before we vote to be an informed voter. When I ran for U.S. Congress (N.C. 12) in 2008, I participated in numerous candidate forums up and down the I-85 corridor. I heard candidates of all parties say their piece. I learned a lot about candidates and, yes, I did not vote a “straight ticket” because I felt a couple of Democrat candidates for state offices were significantly better prepared than those of other affiliations. I really think our country-statecounty are in desperate need of help in the form of electees who will put all of us ahead of their personal gain. That thought was reinforced a couple of nights ago when I attended Rowan County’s Tea Party event at the Kornerstone Church. There assembled were concerned citizens of all parties, all faiths and all racial groups — people who are

I want to hear about you, not your opponent o those who run or want to run our country: Over the last few years, I’ve noticed, with increased frequency, that political campaigns have become less of a campaign and more of a mud-slinging contest. It seems that it doesn’t matter the state, county, city — local or federal — it’s the same story. Every other commercial on TV is one politician telling about how horrible and crooked the one they are running against is, then the very next commercial will be the exact same thing, just with the roles reversed. Well, I’m tired of it. I don’t want to hear how horrible your opponent is. I don’t want to hear how crooked that person is. I don’t want to hear how many people they did wrong. But ... I do want to hear why I should vote for you. I do want to hear why you would be good for the job. I do want to hear what you bring to the table. Give me a reason to vote for you. Don’t stoop to the level of the rest of the politicians in this country. Don’t act like kids on a playground taunting each other. Be adults. Oh, and BTW, a campaign is a job interview of sorts. You are there to tell me why I should want you hired. Telling me how horrible so and so is doesn’t tell me why I want you. Joining in the mud slinging, juvenile bickering, makes me not want to “hire” you. In fact, it takes you out of the running completely. Have you ever considered being different? Standing out as the one who takes the high road ... the one who wants the job because you have something to offer, because you know you can make a difference? Or is it just a big popularity contest to you? Honestly, I feel that for most of the people in office, or trying to in office, it’s the latter. I want you more concerned with how good of a job you can do than you are with how bad of a job you think you’re opponent will do. So next time your campain manager tells you it’s time to make another one of your scathing attack ads ... remember this. You will lose at least one vote, if not more. You will not make yourself look any better or more qualified by attacking and slinging accusations at the other side. Be different. Show me you have some honor and integrity and that you have a maturity level above that which is common among middle-schoolers. Now while you may think me just a stay-at-home mom with no “real” job, you forget that “I” and millions of others like me are the ones who put you in office. “I” vote. • • • Malinda Hollifield lives in Kannapolis.

deeply concerned about the direction our country is headed, especially “drifting” from the Constitution and amassing debt for our grandchildren to pay ! I solicit concerned citizens’ votes for Harry Warren for N.C. House Seat 77. The N.C. House as currently constituted simply has not gotten the job done. It is time to give another political party a chance to bring real change to our beleaguered state. If they do not get the job done, let us “think again” and vote them out. Personally, “I am wild about Harry” Warren for N.C. House Seat 77 ! — Ty Cobb Jr.

Bingham represents American values A proud American called to duty in Iraq, I am grateful to have returned to the homeland I dearly love and to the friends and family in Salisbury I carried in my heart while abroad. As a soldier on the battlefield, I came to honor and respect my compatriots and leaders. It was they who stood for the values of America. It was they who earned my trust and confidence in their skills and their ability to make good, level headed decisions. It was they who I trusted my life. David Bingham exhibits those same character traits I relied upon in Iraq. He is compassionate and fair. He is well versed in the law and dedicated to justice for even the least among us. His service to the community is admirable. David is trustworthy, reliable, and will rule from the bench with fairness, integrity and wisdom. I am proud to place my trust in David Bingham as my first choice for Superior Court judge. Hooah! — Roy Ulrich Salisbury

Sides true conservative? I don’t think so Jim Sides calls himself a “true conservative.” Please remember the following when you vote for Rowan County commissioner: When Jim Sides was a county commissioner, he wanted former County Manger Tim Russell gone. The county wasted more than $56,000 in investigation costs trying to get something on Mr. Russell and came up with nothing. Since the county couldn’t find grounds to terminate Mr. Russell, they offered to buy him out.

Biernacki will fight to bring justice I have represented children as a guardian ad litem attorney advocate and volunteer for eight years. Many of these children have been victims of horrific crimes. Having worked in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Rowan counties, I have always felt better for my child clients when I learn that Karen Biernacki will be prosecuting my child’s case. I know that Karen will not look at my child client’s case and tell me that his or her violation is only worth a please bargain of a few months. I know that Karen will take a day out of her busy schedule to show my child client what a courtroom looks like and explain the process. Karen will take the time to know what my child client’s life and circumstances are like, especially in consideration of what has happened to him or her. I have watched Karen explain to a child that his or her bravery could help protect someone else. For a child to feel like a hero when that child is feeling dirty, violated and helpless is a wonderful transformation to behold. To see a child feel empowered again is what I want from my justice system. Yes, it is difficult for criminal attorneys when fewer plea bargains are offered. But aren’t our children and others who have been victimized through no fault of their own worth that? I have personally seen what it has meant for a victim to be there when Karen got both a conviction and a sentence of multiple decades for someone who knowingly perpetrated on a defenseless person. I have seen how it can bring the victim closure that hundreds of hours of therapy never could. That is justice. That is someone I want in charge of making decisions about what cases go to trial. Having personally

seen what Karen will do for victims of horrible crimes and how far she will go to get justice for them, she is the person I want for district attorney. — Victoria Bost Salisbury

Smith well-qualified for District Court post I am writing to urge your readers to cast their vote for Douglas Smith for District Court judge. Doug’s many years of experience as both a prosecutor for the Rowan County DA’s office and his work in private practice in Rowan County, in addition to his active military service in the Army National Guard and as an EMT in Georgia, will bring invaluable life experience to his service on the bench. He is committed to bringing a tireless work ethic to his work as District Court judge. Doug’s commitment to helping others is also evident in his work as a certified mediator, arbitrator, and guardian ad litem; he is the only candidate for District Court judge certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission to mediate Superior Court, family financial, estate and guardianship disputes. All of Doug’s work and life experiences demonstrate his ability to perform the functions of a District Court judge. I urge the citizens of Rowan County to elect Doug Smith District Court judge. — Melody Moxley Salisbury

Vote Brandy Cook for district attorney I have been a law-enforcement officer for more than 10 years, and I support Brandy Cook for Rowan County district attorney. I am a citizen of Rowan County and am proud to say so. I have worked as a patrol officer and currently as a sergeant with a local agency here in Rowan County. When I need help with a case, I know that I can call Brandy and she will take the time to answer my questions. She has always worked with officers to build the strongest cases possible for prosecution and she does that through communication. Brandy has been an invaluable resource due to her experience prosecuting all types of crimes. She reviews her cases very closely and considers all aspects of the evidence before she makes a decision. Brandy has recently been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #64, which represents more than 100 active and retired law enforcement officers. She is a tough prosecutor and will work hard to make our community a safer place to live and raise a family. My family and I fully support Brandy Cook for district attorney and so should you. — Jason Hinson China Grove

Obama 2.0: deficit reduction, health care WASHINGTON (AP) — Preparing for political life after a bruising election, President Barack Obama will put greater emphasis on fiscal discipline, a nod to a nation sick of spending and to a Congress poised to become more Republican, conservative and determined to stop him. He is already giving clues about how he will govern in the last two years of his term. Obama will try to make gains on deficit reduction, education and energy. He will enforce his health care and financial overhauls and try to protect them from repeal should Republicans win control of Capitol Hill. He will use executive authority when blocked by Congress, and steel for scrutiny and investigations if the GOP is in charge. While trying to save money, Obama will have to decide whether to bend to Republican and growing Democratic pressure to extend Bushera tax cuts, even for the wealthy, that expire at year’s end. Obama wants to extend them for people making less than $200,000 and married couples making less than $250,000, but a broader extension is gaining favor with an increasing number of Democrats. Moving to the fore will be a more serious focus on how to balance the federal budget and pay for the programs that keep sinking the country into debt.

Gay voters angry over pace of gains might sit out election CHICAGO (AP) — Kate Coatar is seriously considering voting for Green Party candidates instead of Democrats, whom she normally supports. James Wyatt won’t cast a ballot at all because he no longer trusts anyone to fight for causes important to him. If Democratic candidates are counting on long-standing support from gay voters to help stave off big losses on Nov. 2, they could be in for a surprise. Across the country, ac-

AssociAted Press

President Barack obama addresses reporters in the White House cabinet room after meeting with congressional leaders. With republicans poised to win big in the Nov. 2 election, obama is already giving clues about how he will govern in the last two years of his term. tivists say gay voters are angry — at the lack of progress on issues from eliminating employment discrimination to uncertainty over serving in the military to the economy — and some are choosing to sit out this election or look for other candidates. President Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago, with its large, politically and socially active gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, offers a snapshot of what some are calling the “enthusiasm gap” between voters who came out strong for Obama and other Democrats in 2008 and re-energized Republican base voters, including tea party enthusiasts who say they are primed to storm the polls. It didn’t help that the controversy over the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gays erupted less than two weeks before the election, when a judge overturned it, then Obama’s justice department decided to fight the judge’s decision. On Thursday, the Defense Department declared that “don’t ask, don’t tell” is official policy but set up a new system that could make it tougher to get thrown out of the military for being openly gay.

Battles over fees could mean fewer free TV shows online LOS ANGELES (AP) — Broadcasters took a big step toward eliminating free TV shows on the Web after they blocked access to their programming online this month to enforce their demands to be paid. Recent actions by Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS in two separate fee disputes suggest that after a few years of experimenting with free, adsupported viewing, broadcasters believe they can make more money from cable TV providers if they hold back some programming online. That could mean new limits on online viewing are coming: Broadcasters might make fewer of their shows available to begin with, or delay when they become available — say, a month after an episode is broadcast, rather than the few hours it typically takes now. It would make it tougher for viewers to drop their cable TV subscriptions and watch shows online instead. If cable and satellite TV providers can hang on to more subscribers, broadcast-

ers can then demand more money from them to carry their stations on the lineups. Last weekend, News Corp.’s Fox made TV programming history by blocking online access to its shows, including “Glee” to 2.6 million Cablevision Systems Corp. broadband Internet subscribers. It was part of a fee dispute over how much Cablevision pays to carry the signals of Fox-owned TV stations.

More mpg a goal of new truck rules WASHINGTON (AP) — Future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump under first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department are moving ahead with a proposal for medium- and heavyduty trucks, beginning with those sold in the 2014 model year and into the 2018 model year.

The plan is expected to seek about a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption from longhaul trucks, according to people familiar with the plan. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to speak publicly before the official announcement, expected Monday. Overall, the proposal is expected to seek reductions of 10 percent to 20 percent in fuel consumption and emissions based on the vehicle’s size. Large tractor-trailers tend to be driven up to 150,000 miles a year, making them ripe for improved miles per gallon. The rules will cover big rig tractor-trailers, “vocational trucks” such as garbage trucks and transit and school buses, and work trucks such as heavy-duty versions of the Ford F-Series, Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado.

Tasting not just for the tongue anymore, may benefit lungs WASHINGTON (AP) — The ability to taste isn’t limited to the mouth, and researchers say that discovery might one day lead to better treatments for diseases such as asthma. It turns out that receptors for bitter tastes are also found in the smooth muscles of the lungs and airways. These muscles relax when they’re exposed to bitter tastes, according to a report Sunday from researchers from the University of Maryland College of Medicine in Baltimore in the online edition of the journal Nature Medicine. That surprised Dr.

Stephen B. Liggett, a lung expert who noted that bitter tastes often are associated with poisonous plants, causing people to avoid them. Liggett said he expected the bitter-taste receptors in the lungs to produce a “fight or flight” reaction, causing chest tightness and coughing so people would leave the toxic environment. “But that’s not what we found,” Liggett said. Instead, when scientists tested some nontoxic bitter compounds on mice and on human airways in the laboratory, the airways relaxed and opened more widely.

Elderly Okla. man jailed for breaking dog out of pound HYDRO, Okla. (AP) — An elderly Oklahoma man landed himself in jail after using bolt cutters to break his prized pooch from the pound. Instead of paying a $100 fine for not having his poodle on a leash, 73-year-old Edwin Fry of Hydro decided to bust Buddy Tough out. Authorities say Fry drove his lawnmower to the city pound Oct. 13 and broke into the cage with bolt cutters. The pair were intercepted by police. Officer Chris Chancellor told The Oklahoman newspaper that police had received numerous complaints about Buddy Tough, who had been in the pound before. He says Fry had been told he could retrieve the dog and sort out the fine in court. Fry spent several days in jail and faces a municipal charge of allowing an animal to run at-large.

A relative pushes a broken car carrying the coffin containing the remains of tikont dolamard, 36, who died of cholera in dessalines, Haiti on sunday. A spreading cholera outbreak in rural Haiti threatened to outpace aid groups as they stepped up efforts hoping to keep the disease from reaching the camps of earthquake survivors in Port-au-Prince.

Cholera could heighten earthquake misery said Health Ministry director Gabriel Timothee. He said tightly limiting movement of patients and careful disposal of bodies can stave off a major medical disaster. If efforts to keep cholera out of the camps fail, “The worst case would be that we have hundreds of thousands of people getting sick at the same time,” said Claude Surena, president of the Haiti Medical Association. Cholera can cause vomiting and diarrhea so severe it can kill from dehydration in hours. Robyn Fieser, a spokeswoman for Catholic Relief Services, said she was confident that aid groups and the Haitian government will be prepared to respond to an outbreak should it occur in the camps. But she stressed that the challenge of preventing its spread is “immense.” “There are proven methods to contain and treat cholera, so we know what we’re dealing with. The biggest challenge is logistics, that is, moving massive

British DPM: Investigate abuse allegations in leaked Iraq war logs LONDON (AP) — Allegations of prisoner abuse and civilian killings in Iraq from a cache of leaked U.S. secret military documents are extremely serious and must be investigated, a top British official said Sunday. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg told BBC television that the accounts of violence in Iraq “are distressing to read about and they are very serious.” W h i s t l e - CLEGG blowing website WikiLeaks has published almost 400,000 U.S. military logs, mainly written by soldiers on the ground, detailing

daily carnage in Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion: detainees abused by Iraqi forces, insurgent bombings, sectarian executions and civilians shot at checkpoints by U.S. troops. Iraq Body Count, a private British-based group that has tracked the number of civilians killed since the war started in March 2003, said it had analyzed the information and found 15,000 previously unreported deaths in the WikiLeaks documents released Friday. Although the documents appear to be authentic, their origin could not be independently confirmed. The Pentagon has condemned the leak, as has Britain’s Ministry of Defense, which said it could put soldiers’ lives at risk.

Gunbattle in northern Mexico kills 3 bystanders CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Three bystanders died in the crossfire of a shootout between gunmen, police and soldiers in northern Mexico on Sunday. The victims were a 14-yearold boy and two women aged 18 and 47, according to a statement by the prosecutors’ office in northern Coahuila state. The statement said gunmen traveling in two vehicles opened fire on a convoy of federal police and soldiers in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila. The officers and soldiers returned fire. It was not clear who fired the shots that killed the bystanders, but the state attorney general’s office said it was investigating and expressed condolences to the victims’ families. “They are civilians who unfortunately died in the ex-

change of gunfire,” it said, describing a running series of confrontations between police and assailants who allegedly fired shots into the air to clear bystanders from their path at one point. Mexico’s army, which has taken a leading role in combating drug gangs, has come under criticism for alleged indiscriminate use of force and firing on civilians. Three gunmen also died Sunday in a separate shootout in another Coahuila city, Torreon. Coahuila has been the scene of bloody turf battles between the Sinaloa cartel and the Zetas drug gang. In the border city of Ciudad Juarez, meanwhile, the death toll from a birthday party massacre late Friday rose to 14 after an 18-year-old male died of his wounds.

amounts of medicine, supplies and people into place to treat them and prevent the disease from spreading,” Fieser said from the neighboring Dominican Republic. Aid workers in the impoverished nation say the risk is magnified by the extreme poverty faced by people displaced by the Jan. 12 earthquake, which killed as many as 300,000 people and destroyed much of the capital city. Haitians living in the camps risk disease by failing to wash their hands, or scooping up standing water and then proceeding to wash fruits and vegetables.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A cholera outbreak that already has left 250 people dead and more than 3,000 sickened is at the doorstep of an enormous potential breeding ground: the squalid camps in Port-au-Prince where 1.3 million earthquake survivors live. Health authorities and aid workers are scrambling to keep the tragedies from merging and the deaths from multiplying. Five cholera patients have been reported in Haiti’s capital, heightening worries that the disease could reach the sprawling tent slums where abysmal hygiene, poor sanitation, and widespread poverty could rapidly spread it. But government officials said Sunday that all five apparently got cholera outside Port-auPrince, and they voiced hope that the deadly bacterial disease could be confined to the rural areas where the outbreak originated last week. “It’s not difficult to prevent the spread to Port-auPrince. We can prevent it,”

Lanning a busy kicker

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — — Denny Hamlin figured if he was going to make a run at Jimmie Johnson’s points lead, there was no better place to start than Martinsville Speedway. Hamlin passed Kevin Harvick for the lead with 29 laps to go Sunday and earned his third consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup win at the smallest circuit in the series. “I don’t think I’ve ever closed that well, ever,” Ham-

lin said after his 15th career victory, his series-best seventh this year and his fourth at Martinsville. He didn’t view the race as a must-win, but rather “must finish in front of,” he said. And the victory came after a miserable start. Determined to outqualify Johnson and get the sometimes critical first pit stall, Hamlin won the pole for just the second time this season. Johnson qualified 19th, and Harvick 36th. But once the race began,

This pro’s a country boy at heart BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

CLEVELAND — Built in 1906 and renovated in 1922, Centennial Field, home of the Vermont Lake Monsters, wasn’t quite what Dick Moore envisioned when he arrived to watch his son, Wade, play pro baseball for the first time. The seating choices were weathered concrete or fragile wood, the lights basement-dim, the dugouts tinier than the ones Wade sat in while waiting to swing at West

Rowan or Newman Park. In that park even older than his favorite facility, Boston’s Fenway, Dick looked out and saw Vermont’s No. 27 getting loose. That’s when his heart skipped. A strong man who has spent his life working on farms and at Bendix and Freightliner, Moore cried like a baby. Enough tears splashed to fill buckets. “I was standing there thinking that old park wasn’t that much, but then I saw Wade standing in the outfield,” Moore said. “It’s hard to explain, but when it’s your son, it’s

emotional. I had to just stop there for a minute. It was a little while before I could move again.” Wade Moore, one of the best pure athletes Rowan County has produced, is a 23-year right fielder who could have a future with the Washington Nationals. Maybe baseball’s been his destiny since Dick and Linda Moore named him after Wade Boggs. Wade is built like an SUV at 6foot-1, 215 pounds. His right arm is strong and accurate, he hits lefthanded with power, and he runs

like the wind. He set more records at West in football than baseball. As a tailback, he held all the marks before K.P. Parks came along. Moore wasn’t raised in the city. The rural area where he grew up makes Mount Ulla look like Salisbury and makes Salisbury look like New York. It takes effort — and gas — to get out there. Ride west on Highway 70 and hang a right on NC 801 like you’re going to Cooleemee. Pro-

Improbable pairing in Series BY BEN WALKER Associated Press When the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants met the first time, it was a novelty. Now they’re set to tangle for much, much more. Tim Lincecum and the Giants take on Cliff Lee and the Rangers in the World Series starting Wednesday night, a matchup of the teams that curiously played baseball’s first interleague game back in 1997. It’s an improbable pairing and promises the trophy will be hoisted at Fisherman’s Wharf or in the Lone Star State for the first time. The Giants have not won the Series since moving to San Francisco in 1958. The Rangers finally made it this far in the

franchise’s 50th season. Texas pitcher C.J. Wilson quickly tweeted a challenge to Giants closer Brian Wilson: “See your beard soon mr wilson.” “Sounds delicious,” Brian Wilson said. “We’ll be coming.” Unlikely MVP Cody Ross and the Giants clinched their spot Saturday night when Wilson struck out Ryan Howard to escape a ninth-inning jam and beat Philadelphia 3-2 in Game 6 of the NL championship series, denying the Phillies a third straight trip to the World Series. Josh Hamilton won the MVP award as Texas eliminated the defending champion Yankees in Game 6 of the ALCS on Friday. AssociAted Press

Lake Monsters’ field needs some upgrades Associated Press

The baseball notebook ... BURLINGTON, Vt. — It’s safe to say former West Rowan star Wade Moore didn’t play in the best of minorleague baseball stadiums over the summer when he was a member of the Vermont Lake Monsters. An engineering report says the home field used by the Lake Monsters needs about $9.2 million in upgrades to bring it up to professional baseball standards. In recent years, the Single A Lake Monsters, now affiliated with the Oakland Athletics, have received waivers from Major League Baseball to be able to continue using the Burlington field owned by the University of Vermont. Reports have found an uneven playing surface; the pitching mound is not regulation; the field lighting fails to meet minimum requirements, and the dugouts and clubhouses are undersized. The Burlington Free Press says team and state officials are trying to find ways to raise the money to upgrade the field. NLCS MVP PHILADELPHIA — Cody Ross joked it was easy for San Francisco Giants fans to chant "Cody! Cody!" during his stellar postseason because his name was only two syllables. After the National League championship series, they can shout three letters. “M-V-P!” Ross went from baseball's scrap heap to the top of the heap, landing there as one of the Giants’ most unlikely postseason stars. He was Cody in the Clutch in the NLCS and was selected MVP after the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Saturday night. GIANT FANS SAN FRANCISCO — Even steady rain and gusty wind didn’t dampen the spirits of Giants fans Saturday night as they celebrated their team’s clinching of the National League pennant in

Philadelphia. Despite the dreary weather in San Francisco, Giants fans streamed out of bars and restaurants and filled the streets outside of AT&T Park, the home ballbark of the Giants. Inside MoMo’s, a bar and restaurant across from the ballpark, cheering, yelling and whistling erupted throughout the game, including a thunderous roar after Juan Uribe’s home run in the eight inning put the Giants ahead to stay. RATINGS NEW YORK — Ratings for the American League championship series are up 34 percent over last year. TBS said Saturday that the series between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees averaged a 5.1 rating on the network, which also saw its audience jump 36 percent over 2009 to 8,223,000 viewers. The Rangers’ pennant clinching victory in Game 6 Friday night was the most watched game this year and the second-most watched in the network’s 34-year history. • San Francisco’s 6-5 victory over Philadelphia in Game 4 drew the highest rating for the National League championship series since St. Louis’ Game 7 win at the New York Mets in 2006. ACLS NOTES WIDE MARGINS: After the New York Yankees rallied to win Game 1 of the AL championship series 6-5 over Texas, the final five games in the series were all decided by at least five runs. It is the only time in major league history that five consecutive games in a postseason series have been decided by such a wide margin. • The Texas Rangers scored in the first inning four times in the AL championship series against the Yankees, and another time in the first round against Tampa Bay. Texas has outscored playoff opponents 8-0 in the first inning.

Former catawba teammates, from left, Zeb Link, Wade Moore and trevor Mullins clown around for the camera.

MOORE FROM 1B ceed 3 miles and turn left into empty wilderness. The Moores’ 170 acres of farmland are out there, in the center of a triangle formed by the towns of Cleveland, Woodleaf and Barber. One hundred or so of Moore’s friends and family found him on Sunday. Most didn’t need GPS. They’ve known the Moores forever. Visitors picked out seats at picnic tables, and paper plates were piled high with pork, barbecued chicken and venison. Jugs of sweet tea and rivers of laughter washed it all down. The celebration was a belated, wayto-go party. When Moore was drafted out of Catawba by the Nationals in June, he had to scurry to Vermont as soon as he signed. On Sunday, everyone who wanted to offer congratulations had a chance to hug him. “I love it out here because no one can find me,” Wade said with a laugh. “I’m a small-town country boy, and I like to believe that coming back here always puts me in touch with who I am. This place made me who I am. It keeps me grounded.” Moore wasn’t raised on video games and text messages. He was raised the way kids were raised a generation ago — or maybe two. He worked. When he wasn’t working, he was playing outside. Dick smiled and pointed out the

grassy area where Moore, Zeb Link and the others grew up as stars of their own Backyard Football League. “They’d play the national anthem, they’d have seats for the fans, and they’d come running out of that donkey lot over there onto the field,” he said. “My job was to film it all.” When Moore got to West Rowan, he became a varsity baseball star as a freshman for coach Chris Cauble, but farm work wasn’t forgotten. “I remember a night we had tons of hay that needed unloading, but I went to his ballgame,” Dick said. “I hollered at Wade through the fence not to go to town after the game because we had a lot of work to do. He just waved at me and said, ‘OK, Dad.’ Not every kid would’ve said OK.” While Moore was expected to become an instant hero after turning down North Carolina and signing with N.C. State, he ran into more adversity than anticipated. When he finally earned a starting job his junior year, he twice blew out hamstrings. He salvaged a pro opportunity by playing his senior season back home at Catawba. He put his trust in coach Jim Gantt and batted .410 with 17 homers, 77 runs and 29 steals in 52 games. He lasted until the 19th round, the 566th pick of the draft, but the Nationals probably got a bargain. Only three of Moore’s 60 hits for the Vermont Lake Monsters left the park, but he was 17-for-19 stealing bases, excelled in right field and post-

ed a .394 on-base percentage. Fatigue led to a tweaked hamstring trying to beat out a groundball late in the season. He had to sit, and the Lake Monsters narrowly missed the playoffs. But the Nationals sent him to play instructional league ball in Florida, where he was a teammate of Bryce Harper, first pick in the 2010 draft. “We had 40 of our best prospects there, the future of the Nationals playing against the future of all those other teams, and we found out we could compete with anyone,” Moore said. “I know I made a good impression. A couple of coaches in the organization told me I’m their favorite guy. They like my work ethic, my determination.” Moore’s main concession to being a modern ballplayer are his eight tattoos — his parents’ initials, a Bible verse, a rose garden across his broad back that reminds him daily that “it’s a beautiful life.” There are also inspirational Metallica lyrics on his wrist. “You rise. You fall. You’re down, then you rise again,” Moore recited. The words remind him of the tough days at N.C. State when his baseball dream was nearly shattered, when he was seriously thinking about just being a regular guy with a regular job. “But I pulled through all that, and I have a very strong belief in myself,” Moore said. “I know who I am. I have this drive inside me. Until the day comes when someone physically pulls the uniform off my back, I’ll give it everything I’ve got.”

FROM 1B

Well before this World Series, these club helped change the baseball world. That June night in Texas more than a dozen years ago, Nolan Ryan and Willie Mays threw out the ceremonial first balls, players wore special patches on their sleeves and the bases were painted with a logo reading “First Interleague Game.” “I remember that,” Rangers reliever Darren Oliver said this week, having thrown the first pitch in interleague history. The atmosphere is sure to be even more charged for the opener at AT&T Park. The NL finally won an All-Star game to earn homefield advantage in the World Series, and that’s an especially good omen for the Giants — they are 90 against Texas in their waterfront ballpark. Overall, Texas has lost 11 straight at San Francisco. The previous time the Rangers won there? Oliver outpitched Orel Hershiser at Candlestick Park. The Giants swept visiting Texas in 2009 the last time the teams met in the regular season. They both train in Arizona and in a spring training game this year, Nelson Cruz hit a long home run and Hamilton left the game after accidentally being hit in the left hand by a pitch from Giants rookie Madison Bumgarner. There is a more direct link between the clubs. Eager to get rookie Buster Posey behind the plate on a regular basis, the Giants traded veteran catcher Bengie Molina to Texas on July 1. Posey blossomed into a Rookie of the Year candidate, excelling as a catcher and hitter. He homered on the final day of the regular season as the Giants clinched the NL West, then contributed throughout the postseason as they reached the World Series for the first time since Barry Bonds led them there in 2002. Posey also was praised for his handling of a staff that includes starters Matt Cain and Jonathan Sanchez and major league saves leader Brian Wilson. The franchise will trying for its first World Series crown since Mays helped the New York Giants win in 1954.

PRO BASEBALL Jerrry Sands (Catawba) is 4-for-17 in the Arizona Fall League. He’s still looking for his first homer, but he has five walks and a nice .409 on-base percentage.  Former Albemarle High phenom Brad Holt, who pitched in the Cliff Peeler Easter Classic a few years ago, has been one of the sensations of the Arizona Fall League.

denny Hamlin sprays champagne into the crowd after winning sunday’s race at Martinsville. He continued his dominance at the Virginia track.

RACE FROM 1B Hamlin went backward. By the first caution and restart about 50 laps in, he was behind both of them. Johnson was eighth, Harvick ninth and Hamlin 12th. “I was very worried,” he said. “Everyone saw how far back we were dropping and I thought it was the end of our day. We kept fighting, kept digging, kept making up spots.” Hamlin became the first driver since Johnson in 2007 to sweep both races here, and he and Harvick closed the gap on Johnson in the points race with four events to go. Hamlin cut his 41-point deficit to six, the smallest with four races left since the Chase began in 2004. “Who said this was over?” Hamlin asked after the race. “I told you it wasn’t over.” Harvick finished third after Mark Martin passed him late, but Harvick had his best showing in 19 career starts at the 0.526-mile oval; he’d never been better than seventh. “We kept the 48 behind us and the 11 in sight in what everybody said was a two-horse race, and we were right there in the middle of it,” Harvick said. He gained 15 points in the standings and now trails Johnson by just 62 heading to Talladega, where he won in the spring. “It’s a lot of fun right now,” Harvick said. Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, rallied to finish fifth. “For awhile I thought the 29, the 11

and us were just going to ride together all day long,” Johnson said of Hamlin and Harvick, “but then the 11 got going there at the end.” Harvick led during most of a long green-flag run until Hamlin got to his rear bumper, then went to his inside. The two raced side-by-side for about five laps before Harvick checked up coming out of Turn 2, finally falling in line behind Hamlin on lap 472. The race had 15 cautions for 90 laps, but the final 98 were run under a green flag. “That’s exactly what we needed at the end,” Hamlin’s crew chief, Mike Ford, said. The race seemed likely to be a battle between Johnson and Hamlin, who had combined to win the last eight races at Martinsville and began the day 1-2 in the point standings. Instead of domination, 12 different drivers led and there were 24 lead changes. Jeff Burton led the most laps with 134, but faded at the finish and came in ninth. Jeff Gordon had a rough day, seriously damaging his chance for a fifth championship. He entered fourth in points, 156 behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate Johnson, but was spun into the frontstretch wall by Kurt Busch after running in contention all race long. Gordon wound up 20th and fell to fifth in the standings, 203 points behind Johnson. Kyle Busch finished fourth and moved up to fourth in the standings.

SPORTS DIGEST

Saban finally satisfied

Boise State hardly following path blazed by Florida State Oregon home and away in 2008 and 2009. They also split bowl games with TCU the last two years. This year they beat Virginia Tech. Don’t get me wrong, this is nice work, but at no point did Boise play two tough games back-to-back. Heck, it’s tough to find more than two tough games on their schedule in a given year. But this is where national talking head says, “Well, they can only play who is on their schedule.” Exactly. Because Boise State is not trying to make the schedule any more difficult than it is. If Boise State wants to play for the national title they need to stop cherry picking. Suck it up and really be Florida State. In 1980, Bobby Bowden’s team opened the season in Death Valley on a Saturday night. They beat LSU, 16-0. Then two weeks later they began this little three-game stretch — at Miami (lost 109), at No. 3 Nebraska (won 18-14) and at home against No. 4 Pitt (won 36-22, Pitt’s only loss on the way to finishing No. 2 in the country). Boise State hasn’t played three teams like this in a calendar year, never mind in successive weeks. The Noles went 10-2 (both losses by a point), rose as high as No. 2 in the polls before finishing at No. 5.

With the BCS standings now out, it’s easy to identify the storyline for the remainder of the college football season. Will Boise State (or TCU or Utah) play for the national championship? Should they? Etc. ... Now I am on record as saying that I don’t believe an undefeated Boise State (or TCU or Utah) should play for the title over a oneloss school from the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 or Pac-10, but the groundswell of support for “the little guy” will be such that one of them will play for the title this year (my preseason choice was TCU). But no matter who does what, I would like to debunk the analogy that the national media is running with. It goes something like, “Boise State is the 21st century Florida State (and to some degree Miami). They were a little school with no history and they have played and beaten a bunch of bigger schools, so now they deserve their shot.” To compare Boise State today to Florida State 30 years ago is a joke. In fact, it’s insulting. Boise Sate got drilled by Georgia in 2005. They beat Oklahoma in a bowl game four years ago. They beat

Auburn moves up to third Associated Press

The college football notebook ... NEW YORK — Auburn has jumped two spots to No. 3 behind top-ranked Oregon and Boise State in The Associated Press college football poll. The Tigers have their highest ranking since they were No. 2 in 2006 after beating LSU 24-17 on Saturday in a matchup of the Southeastern Conference’s last unbeaten teams. TCU is No. 4, Michigan State is fifth and Alabama is No. 6. No. 7 Missouri made the largest jump in the poll, moving 11 spots after beating previously undefeated Oklahoma 36-27. The Sooners dropped eight spots to No. 11. Missouri was last ranked this highly in 2007, when the Tigers reached No. 1 and finished the season No. 4. No. 25 Baylor (6-2) is ranked for the first time since Sept. 5, 1993, when the Bears were No. 24 for a week. NEBRASKA PLAYER OF WEEK LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska’s newest star, quarterback Taylor Martinez has been named national offensive player of the week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Loomis discusses plans in 2011 for RPM Associated Press

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Richard Petty Motorsports is looking forward to finishing this season strong and already is making plans for 2011. Robbie Loomis, the director of competition for RPM, answered questions at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday LOOMIS amid speculation that the organization is facing an uncertain future. The team and driver Kasey Kahne parted ways earlier this week, and Loomis said he thinks the sudden departure of the driver has fueled talk about the team’s stability. “Like I said before, there’s been a lot of speculation about a lot of things,” Loomis said before practice while behind the team’s No. 43 hauler. “There always has been in this sport, but what gives me confidence is that we’ve always had the ability to move forward.” Loomis says the team will be at Talladega next weekend, but he did not say who will be driving the car. Aric Almirola is taking Kahne’s place in the No. 9 Ford this weekend.

“Most of the things we’ve been working on has been our models for 2011 and what our race teams look like moving forward,” he said. The team is planning to field two cars in 2011, with A.J. Allmendinger staying in the No. 43 and Marcos Ambrose driving the other car. Loomis said he compared the situation at RPM with being a crew chief, which he was for Jeff Gordon, winning the 2001 championship. “‘Look, this is no different than running a race when you’re a crew chief,’” he said he told them. “‘I’ve been right here at Martinsville leading a race and all of a sudden hit a pothole and you’ve got to figure out what to do and how to react to it and move forward.’ “That’s what we’re looking forward to do with Richard Petty Motorsports.” RPM is co-owned by George Gillett Jr. and seventime NASCAR champion Richard Petty. Questions about the team’s financial health have followed it for almost two years and Gillett was recently ousted as a coowner of Premier League soccer club Liverpool. Loomis said Gillett still owns RPM, and declined to comment on speculation that Petty is trying to round up investors that would allow him more control of the organization. “There are a lot of people

working collectively together to make this thing more successful as we go forward in the future,” he said. Loomis said Petty might make it to the track Sunday, but that he’s been spending most of his time with his ailing wife, Lynda.

Did the Seminoles rest on their laurels? No. In 1981, they played arguably the toughest stretch of games in college football history. After losing in late September at Nebraska (34-14), in the first four weeks of October, FSU consecutively played Ohio State, Notre Dame, Pitt and LSU. All on the road! They won three of them (Pitt got revenge 4214). Boise State wouldn’t play Nebraska this year. Nebraska offered to come to Boise once, if the Broncos would come to Lincoln twice. Didn’t happen. Bobby Bowden went 1-1 against Michigan, 3-0 against Ohio State and 4-2 against Nebraska during his time at Florida State. Not one of those 11 games was played in Tallahassee. So Nebraska offered to do for Boise State what they wouldn’t do for Florida State. Boise State still said no. Yet we are suppose to believe that Boise State is the 21st century version of Florida State in the early 1980s. When Boise State in 2010 doesn’t even come close to the Seminoles? If for no other reason because we know they wouldn’t have had the guts to even try.

With 10 days between games, the Scarlet Knights will get some down time to deal with the devastating injury that left teammate Eric LeGrand paralyzed from the neck down and to gather themselves after a disappointing 41-21 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Coach Greg Schiano did not update LeGrand’s condition on Sunday during a conference call, but he said the junior defensive tackle was able to watch the game from his room at Hackensack University Medical Center.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Alabama coach Nick Saban finally likes what he sees. After grilling the Crimson Tide for not playing with the toughness and intensity that’s characteristic of his Alabama squads, Saban thinks his players finally lived up to their identity in a 41-10 win at Tennessee on Saturday night. “We really wanted to try to build on and establish an identity,” Saban said. “We did that in the second half. This is the best we’ve played on the road this year.” Sixth-ranked Alabama (7-1, 4-1 SEC) certainly did not look like a team that’s played eight straight games. Greg McElroy threw with precision, Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram finally found some open space on the ground and Julio Jones set a single-game school record with 221 yards on a career-high 12 catches. It was just the kind of win the Crimson Tide wanted heading into a bye week and before facing No. 12 LSU at Baton Rouge on Nov. 6. “We had to build the identity that we could win on the road,” defensive end Marcell Dareus said. “We needed a convincing win. We’re not just an average team. We can pull away from the pack when we put our minds to it.” Alabama seemed a little sluggish in the first half, but Saban said it was because the Volunteers came out with a solid game plan. The Vols (2-5, 0-4) took a lesson from South Carolina and Mississippi, who successfully limited the Crimson Tide the past two weeks by blitzing and pressuring McElroy, but the effort wore down a team plagued by a lack of depth. That’s when Alabama turned up the intensity. “Our guys were playing hard in the first half and were playing with a lot of toughness,” Saban said. “(Tennessee) had a good plan and took advantage of some things. We just needed to ramp it up a notch or two to get to their level, and I think we came out and did that in the second half.”

Pick party for Packers GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Some Green Bay Packers fans still can’t bear the sight of Brett Favre in a MinPackers 28 nesota Vikings uniform. 24 It probably hurt a little bit Vikings less after the Packers finally sent him home with a loss. Favre threw three second-half interceptions to his former team and the Packers held on to beat the Vikings 28-24 on Sunday night. Favre appeared to deliver another signature comeback win with an apparent touchdown strike to Percy Harvin with 48 seconds left — but the play was ruled incomplete on a replay review. With one more chance on fourth-and-15 at the 20, Favre threw incomplete out of bounds. Green Bay (4-3) turned a pair of Favre’s third-quarter interceptions into touchdowns that erased the Vikings’ halftime lead, including a 32-yard return by linebacker Desmond Bishop. It was the ninth interception that was returned for a touchdown in the league on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers was 21 of 34 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. “It’s huge,” Rodgers said. “It’s a great night. The crowd was electric, we needed this win. It’s a long season, but we had to have this one.” Rodgers threw a pair of costly first-half interceptions — uncharacteristic mistakes for a quarterback known for good decisionmaking in the red zone. Adrian Peterson rushed for 131 yards for the Vikings (2-4). Favre was 16 of 29 for 212 yards with a touchdown and the three interceptions. It was Favre’s second trip back to Lambeau Field as a Viking, but the buildup to this year’s game wasn’t quite as intense as last year’s matchups. Favre led the Vikings

to a pair of wins over the Packers last year, looking sharp in the process. But both teams are off to disappointing starts this season, a much bigger concern than the division rivalry or the Favre-driven circus. Favre has pressing personal concerns as well. He’s currently in the middle of an NFL investigation into allegations that he sent lewd photographs and suggestive messages to a female New York Jets employee in 2008. Favre met with an NFL security official during the week but has not publicly addressed the allegations, which were posted on the Deadspin website. Fans booed Favre again when he took the field. But unlike last season, when Favre beat his former team twice, Favre committed costly mistakes and the Packers made the most of it. With the Packers leading by four late in the fourth quarter, the Vikings relied heavily on Peterson and the running game on their final drive. Facing fourth-and-5 at the Green Bay 48 with 1:51 left, Favre found Randy Moss for a 13-yard gain. Then the Packers finally sacked Favre, with Jarius Wynn hitting Favre for a 6-yard loss. Favre hit Peterson on a screen pass for 26 yards, giving the Vikings a first down at the Packers 15. The Vikings were called for a false start and a facemask penalty, but Favre then appeared to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Harvin and the Vikings began celebrating wildly — but the play was reviewed, and officials ruled Harvin’s second foot was out of bounds. Favre then was pressured on the Vikings’ last two chances, and his throws were incomplete.

deAngelo Hall celebrates his record-tying game. early in the fourth, and had one more in him late in the game. That came in the closing minutes, when he picked off a deep pass intended for Knox at the Washington 13, yet the idea of avoiding Hall apparently never crept into Cutler’s mind. “No,” he said. “Not at all. I’ve played against him before. There’s no reason to shy away from him. I mean that’s hard for me to say throwing four picks to the guy, but I still think if we had to play him tomorrow, I’d go after him every time.” In the first game after the NFL’s crackdown on illegal hits, there were at least a few instances where players appeared to pull up rather than go for the big hit. One example came on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. The Redskins’ Reed Doughty could have blasted Knox on an incomplete pass near the left sideline, but grabbed his legs rather than go high. But the turnovers and sacks took the spotlight in this one. Cutler was 26 of 40 with 281 yards and the Bears wound up with 322 yards against a defense that came in allowing a league-high 420 per game. They got going after running seven plays for minus-5 yards in the first quarter, but it was simply another rough afternoon for a team that is struggling going into its bye. “It was a big loss for us,” defensive end Julius Peppers said. “It was a big game. We just let it get away.”

night,” Moore said of the Giants clinching a World Series berth Saturday. “That is what it was like without all the bottles. It was awesome. Guys loved it.” It sure was improbable. The Panthers (1-5) tied it when the rookie Gettis, who had dropped a touchdown pass earlier in the fourth quarter on fourth down, made a diving 23-yard TD grab with 1:53 left. Carr, who struggled in his lone season in Carolina in 2007, then gave the Panthers a gift. Marshall’s pick gave Carolina the ball at its own 43. Moore, who had an interception returned for a TD earlier in the quarter, found Brandon LaFell for 35 yards to set up Kasay’s winner. The Panthers, the NFL’s youngest and lowest-scoring team who failed to reach double digits in points in their previous three home games, celebrated like, well, they were going to the World Series. “It feels good,” said fourtime Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith, who volunteered to return punts to spark Carolina. “It feels great.” The 49ers (1-6), who were to fly directly to London after the game to face Denver next week, have a tough road in the NFC West and uncertainty at quarterback. Smith, who threw a touchdown pass to Vernon Davis on the first series, was driven to the turf by Charles Johnson for a sack on San Francisco’s first possession of the second half. He immediately winced in pain and remained on the ground for several minutes. Smith walked to the locker room and said he feared has a separated shoulder. He said the injury felt a lot like the one in 2007 to his throwing shoulder and was planning to fly to London and get an MRI there

CHICAGO — DeAngelo Hall looked Redskins 17 like he was laying Bears 14 pcatch with Jay Cutler. When the Bears quarterback threw the ball, he was there to intercept it — four times. It was a performance that left him a little overwhelmed, and in the NFL’s record book. Hall tied the league mark with his four interceptions, running one back 92 yards for a touchdown, and the Washington Redskins sacked Cutler four times while forcing six turnovers in a 17-14 victory over Chicago on Sunday. Hall shares the record with 18 others and is the first to pick off four passes since Deltha O’Neal did it with Denver in 2001. The four interceptions give him five on the season, one shy of his career high, and easily eclipsed his previous best of two in a game. “It’s kind of mind blowing,” he said. “I had my mom, my aunt, and my two cousins in the stands. The first ball went to my mom, the second ball went to my aunt and the next thing you knew everybody had a ball.” His one-handed interception and TD return late in the third quarter were made for the highlight reel and put the Redskins ahead for good, sending Chicago (4-3) to its third loss in four games. Washington (4-3), meanwhile, equaled its win total from last season and joined a growing line of teams that has pounded Cutler. He has been sacked 19 times in his last three games, and when he wasn’t on his back, he kept finding Hall. The TD return after his second interception was particularly impressive and stopped a Bears drive at the 13. The Redskins were trailing 14-10 when Hall made that one-handed grab. Cutler, throwing off his back foot, was trying to hit Johnny Knox along the right sideline. Instead, Hall ran it back 92 yards to give Washington a 1714 lead with 1:36 left in the third. “That was the sickest interception I’ve ever seen,” linebacker London Fletcher said. He also picked off Cutler

We’ll just look at the MRI and see what it says.” It looked for a while as if the Panthers would still give the 49ers their second straight win. Moore was playing well — by far the best quarterback performance of the season for the Panthers — when he inexplicably hurried a dump-off throw right into the hands of

Ray McDonald. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle then ran over Moore on his 31-yard touchdown return that snapped a tie with 12:52 left. The Panthers, though, then began an impressive drive that seemed to stall at the San Francisco 16 with just under 6 minutes left. But normally conservative coach John Fox decided to go for it on fourthand-9. Moore then found Gettis wide open in the center of the end zone — and he dropped

the pass. “I’m thankful that I got a second chance,” Gettis said. Moore, who came in completing just 42 percent of his passes and was benched for Jimmy Clausen after Week 2, was 28 of 41 with both TDs to Gettis. The sixth-round pick had eight catches for 125 yards, by far the best performance by a receiver not named Steve Smith. “When you have a drop like that with the circumstances, you could easily go in the tank,” Smith said.

SAN DIEGO — The San D i e g o Patriots 23 C h a r g e r s blundered Chargers 20 right down to the bitter end against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. After Philip Rivers rallied San Diego in the closing minutes, new kicker Kris Brown missed a 50-yard field goal attempt with 23 seconds left and the Patriots escaped with a 2320 win over the mistake-prone Chargers on Sunday. Brown lined up to try a 45yarder that would have forced overtime, but guard Louis Vasquez was whistled for a false start. Moved back five yards, Brown’s attempt was long enough but smacked off the right upright. Brown was signed last week because Nate Kaeding has an injured groin. Leading by three with two minutes left, New England gambled on fourth-and-1 from its 49 and BenJarvus GreenEllis was stuffed for a 1-yard loss by Antwan Applewhite. Coach Bill Belichick had challenged the spot of the previous play and lost, costing him his final timeout. San Diego then moved to the 27. New England (5-1) pulled into a tie with the idle New York Jets atop the AFC East. The Chargers fell to 2-5, their worst start in four seasons under coach Norv Turner. Overall, it’s their worst start since going 1-6 to open 2003. Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather, fined $50,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Todd Heap last week, made a hard hit with his shoulder on Chargers receiver Patrick Crayton in the first quarter. Crayton popped up after the 11-yard gain and signaled first down. Brady threw for one touchdown and Green-Ellis ran for another. Stephen Gostkowski kicked field goals of 40, 35 and 35 yards. Trailing 20-3 after three quarters, San Diego rallied for two touchdowns in the final 7:21. The Chargers got a 4yard touchdown pass from Rivers to Antonio Gates, and, after a successful onside kick, a 1-yard run by Mike Tolbert.

“Dearborn-Again” Å

Eye disorder can cause cloudy vision Dear Dr. Gott: My mother-inlaw is 70 years old. She never had a need to see an eye doctor until last week, when she scratched her eye. She found a local ophthalmologist who told her that she has Fuchs’ disease, something she had never heard of before. As a coincidence, I decided since I turned 50 recently that it was time for me to have my eyes checked. Lo and behold, and hundreds of dollars later, I had an exam and was told that I needed glasses. When I asked my eye DR. PETER doctor about Fuchs’, he told GOTT me briefly about the condition. Can you tell me more? Dear Reader: The outermost layer of the eye is known as the cornea. It doesn’t contain any blood vessels to nourish or protect it, but it gets its nourishment from the aqueous humor behind the eyes and from tears. Its purpose is to protect the eye from debris, dust and germs. In order for a

person to see well, all five layers of the cornea must be free of any cloudy areas. Visual disorders are quite common, affecting about 120 million people in the United States, causing them to wear glasses or contact lenses. The disorders to which I refer are known as refractive errors. They affect the cornea and include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (uneven curvature of the cornea). Some of the more common disorders of the cornea include allergies that may be the result of a prescribed medication, animal hair, eye makeup, mascara, pollen and more; pinkeye (conjunctivitis), which can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection; irritants in the environment; eyedrops and ointments; infection of the cornea brought on by bacteria or fungi from contact lenses that have not been cleaned properly; dry eyes, which can result from antihistamines, nasal decongestants, antidepressants and tranquilizers; herpes zoster (shingles) produced by the varicellazoster virus; and ocular herpes, a recurrent viral infection

caused by the herpes-simplex virus. A less common disorder is known as Fuchs’ dystrophy, a slowly progressing disease that ordinarily affects both eyes. The condition is slightly more common in women than in men and can be detected in its earliest stages when a person is in his or her mid-30s; however, the disease rarely affects a person’s vision until the age of 50 or older. Fuchs’ occurs when the cells that line the inside of the blood vessels deteriorate for no apparent reason. With the continuation of the loss of cells, the endothelium cannot function efficiently enough to pump fluid out of the connective tissue. The cornea swells, and vision becomes distorted. Over time, the epithelium will take on fluid that will result in visual impairment, pain and a visual haze. In the early stages, a person may awaken with blurred vision that will clear as the day progresses. This occurs because the cornea is thicker in the morning as it retains fluids during sleep that evaporate during the day. With progression of the disease, the

swelling will remain constant and vision will be reduced throughout waking hours. Treatment will begin by reducing the swelling with the help of drops, ointments or soft contact lenses. When the disease affects quality of life by interfering with normal daily activities, a corneal transplant might be in order. At this stage, the success rate for this surgery is good; however, longterm survival of the new cornea might be a problem that will have to be addressed. Fuchs’ generally affects both eyes equally, progresses gradually over time, occurs in otherwise healthy people, and is usually inherited. 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

not relinquish it. He said Jagger’s behavior “started at first to annoy me and then slowly enraged me.” But he said the pair are still friends, half a century after they bonded over a love of American blues music. He said that “nobody has the perfect marriage”

but they had healed the wounds of the past. The 66-year-old guitarist also said heroin and other drugs had helped him cope with fame. He said that “fame is probably a bigger killer than drugs in my game.”

Take your time at trick one BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

A.N. Onymous said, "A stitch in time would have confused Einstein." If a deal looks perplexing to you, take longer than usual at trick one, trying to find the right line of play. In today's deal, for example, how would you try to make four spades after West leads the diamond queen? Who should have entered the auction for East and West? They are laydown for five diamonds, but neither had a clear-cut action. In four spades, if the heart finesse is working, there will be no problems. If West has the club ace, you will be on easy street. What happens, though, if both key cards are badly placed? Suppose you ruff in the dummy and play a heart to your queen. West wins with his king and will surely see the need for a club shift. And he should lead the 10 or queen, in case you have three to the nine. Then, as long as the defenders do not become allergic to clubs, you will go down one. Return to trick one. You had two choices: ruff or discard. Ruffing did not work well, so let's look at pitching a heart from the dummy. After East wins with his ace and shifts to a heart, you win with your ace and continue with the heart queen. If West covers with his king, you ruff in the dummy, return to your hand

with a spade, and throw two clubs from the dummy on your heart winners. And if West does not cover with his king, you discard a club from the dummy. Here, you end with an overtrick. And even if East could produce the heart king, he would have to cash the club ace or play a club to his partner's ace to stop the overtrick.

Rangers whip struggling Devils Associated Press

NHL roundup ... NEW YORK — Michal Rozsival and Ryan Callahan scored second-period goals and the New York Rangers earned their third straight, beating Ilya Kovalchuk and the slumping New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Sunday night. Kovalchuk, in the first season of a 15-year, $100 million deal, returned to New Jersey’s lineup a night after he was benched by coach John MacLean for undisclosed reasons. Kovalchuk didn’t play in the Devils’ 6-1 home loss to Buffalo and wasn’t much of a factor Sunday until he scored with 5:52 remaining to make it 2-1. Kovalchuk, who along with MacLean said the issue between them was resolved, was in the penalty box when Callahan scored the power-play goal that gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead. Rozsival and Callahan both

had an assist, and Brandon Dubinsky scored an empty-net goal with a second left for the Rangers, who returned home after wins at Toronto and Boston. Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves, but fell a few minutes short of his 25th NHL shutout. Martin Brodeur stopped 31 shots for New Jersey (2-6-1), which has been outscored 3015 this season. Flames 4, Sharks 0 CALGARY, Alberta — Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves for his second shutout of the season and 36th overall and Rene Bourque scored twice in Calgary’s victory over San Jose. Bourque has six goals this season, five in his last two games. He had three goals and an assist Friday night in Calgary’s 6-2 victory in Columbus. Jarome Iginla and Craig Conroy also scored for the Flames.

The Sharks were coming off a 6-1 victory in Edmonton on Saturday night. Predators 4, Lightning 3 TAMPA, Fla. — Rookie Anders Lindback made 42 saves to help Nashville complete a weekend road sweep. Lindback made in-close saves on Vincent Lecavalier and Ryan Malone during the second and stopped Lecavalier on a third-period breakaway. Shea Weber, Sergei Kostitsyn, Cody Franson and Colin Wilson scored for the Predators, who are the only NHL team (5-0-3) not to have a loss in regulation this season. Nashville was coming off a 10 victory Saturday night in Dallas, where Pekka Rinne made 30 saves. Tampa Bay got goals from Sean Bergenheim, Martin St. Louis and Adam Hall. Dan Ellis took the loss in his first game against his former team.

Ewing Jr. dumped by Knicks NEW YORK (AP) — Patrick Ewing Jr. has failed again to stick with his father’s old team. The New York Knicks waived Ewing on Sunday, the second time in three years they made the Hall of Famer’s son their final roster cut. The Knicks cut Ewing near the end of the 2008 preseason, then signed him to a free-agent deal this summer. However, he

averaged just 1.8 points and 6.0 minutes in four exhibition games and the Knicks instead kept swingman Shawne Williams, trying to rebuild his career after off-court trouble in three previous NBA stops. Patrick Ewing is the Knicks’ career scoring leader. The Knicks also exercised their fourth-year options on the contracts of Danilo Gallinari

and Anthony Randolph, and the third-year option on guard Toney Douglas. Gallinari, a 6-foot-10 forward, was taken sixth in the 2008 draft. He has averaged 12.8 points and 4.2 rebounds in his first two seasons. Randolph was taken eight picks later by Golden State and came to New York in July in the sign-andtrade deal for David Lee.

Byrd survives three-man playoff Associated Press Golf roundup ... LAS VEGAS — In a swift and shocking finish, Jonathan Byrd won a three-man playoff Sunday with a hole-in-one on the fourth extra hole in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital Open. Moments earlier, Byrd stood on the 18th green with Martin Laird and Cameron Percy as they discussed whether there was enough light to continue. They agreed to play one more hole — the 204-yard 17th at the TPC Summerlin. And the playoff essentially ended with one swing. It was too dark for Byrd to see his ball land about 10 feet short of the flag and roll into the cup, and even the cheers from a smattering of fans around the green weren’t convincing. Almost as stunning was that Byrd remained in the playoff.

On the third playoff hole, the par-4 18th, Byrd’s approach tumbled over the green and was one hop away from going into the water. Instead, it settled in a clump of grass, he chipped up to 7 feet and made the par putt just to stay alive. One swing later, he only had to wait for Laird and Percy to hit their shots — and they both hit into the water — to come up with his first win of the year. Byrd was No. 117 on the money list going into Las Vegas, and his fourth career victory gives him a two-year exemption. He closed with a 68, and he had to watch four times — once in regulation, three times in a playoff — as Laird stood over a birdie putt with a chance to win. Small Business Classic THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Fred Couples left Corey Pavin and everybody else way behind in the Administaff Small Business Classic, shooting a 9-under 63 for a seven-

stroke victory. Two strokes behind Pavin after 10 holes in the final round, the 50-year-old Couples played the final eight in 7 under, making an eagle and five birdies. The former University of Houston star had only 24 putts in the final round. He finished at 17-under 199 on The Woodlands Country Club course and earned $255,000 for his fourth Champions Tour victory of the year. LPGA Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR — Jimin Kang won the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia for her second LPGA Tour title, beating Juli Inkster by a stroke when the 50-year-old Hall of Famer bogeyed the final hole. Castello Masters CASTELLON, Spain — Italy’s Matteo Manassero became the youngest champion in PGA European Tour history, winning the Castello Masters at 17 years, 188 days.

Did Steelers steal one? Associated Press

MIAMI — The officials eventually got it right that Ben Roethlisberger fumbled at the goal line. The Dolphins were still left feeling wronged. An officiating mistake negated Roethlisberger’s late fumble, and the Steelers kicked the game-winning field goal on the next play Sunday. Jeff Reed made an 18-yarder with 2:30 left, allowing Pittsburgh to escape with a 23-22 win. One play earlier, with Pittsburgh trailing 22-20 and facing third-andgoal at the 2, Roethlisberger fumbled as he dived across the goal line on a quarterback draw. The play was ruled a touchdown as both teams scrambled for the loose ball in the end zone. After a replay review, referee Gene Steratore announced that Roethlisberger fumbled before scoring. But Steratore said his crew had no clear evidence as to which team recovered the ball, and the Steelers (5-1) were awarded possession at the half-yard line, allowing Reed to kick the winner. The Dolphins (3-3) then lost the ball on downs, gaining only 4 yards in four plays. Ravens 37, Bills 34 OT BALTIMORE — The Bills came close, but Billy Cundiff kicked a 38yard field goal with 10:57 left in overtime after Ray Lewis stripped the ball from tight end Shawn Nelson, and Baltimore squeezed past winless Buffalo (0-6). Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes for the Ravens, who survived an uncharacteristic performance by a defense that was shredded for 505 yards. Baltimore (5-2) trailed 24-10 late in the first half before scoring 24 straight points to take a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter. Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick then threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Lee Evans with 5:46 left, and the Bills forced overtime on a 50-yard field goal by Rian Lindell with 4 seconds left in regulation. Fitzpatrick went 29 for 43 for 373 yards and four touchdowns. Raiders 59, Broncos 14 DENVER — Behind Darren McFadden’s four touchdowns, Oakland scored the most points in its 50-year history in routing demoralized Denver. The Raiders (3-4) were fueled by a 38-point outburst in the first 22 minutes, including touchdowns 8 seconds apart to start the rout that recalled so many of the lopsided scores between these former AFL teams in the 1960s. The Raiders kept the Broncos (2-5) guessing until game time that Jason Campbell would start at quarterback despite a sore knee in place of Bruce Gradkowski (sore shoulder). Seahawks 22, Cardinals 10 SEATTLE — Olindo Mare kicked five field goals, Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams and Seattle took advantage of five Arizona turnovers. The Seahawks (4-2) took over first place in the NFC West despite an unimpressive performance. Four times in the second half, Seattle had possession inside the Arizona 20 and settled for Mare field goals on each occasion. Arizona rookie quarterback Max Hall didn’t make it through the third quarter, getting knocked out of the

game with a “blow to the head” on a sack by Chris Clemons on what looked to be a clean hit. Derek Anderson led a pair of scoring drives, but the Cardinals couldn’t get closer. Falcons 39, Bengals 32 ATLANTA — Roddy White had a spectacular day for Atlanta, catching 11 passes for 201 yards. The Falcons (5-2) squandered a 243 halftime lead, falling behind when Cincinnati (2-4) took advantage of two turnovers and ripped off 22 straight points in the third quarter. White put the Falcons ahead to stay with his second touchdown, an 11-yard reception early in the fourth. He then made a leaping catch on the 2-point conversion to make it 32-25. After Cedric Benson’s fumble, Michael Turner scored on a 3-yard run for a two-touchdown lead. Chad Ochocinco gave the Bengals a chance with a late 8-yard TD catch, but the Falcons recovered the onside kick. Titans 37, Eagles 19 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kerry Collins threw three touchdowns to Kenny Britt, who had the best game of his career two days after being involved in a bar fight, and Tennessee scored 27 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Britt had the best receiving game in the NFL this season. He caught touchdown passes of 26, 80 and 16 yards and finished with seven receptions for 225 yards — all career highs for the second-year player on a day when he didn’t start as punishment for his role in the fight. The Titans (5-2) won their NFL-best 12th straight over the NFC with Collins making his first start in a year. Vince Young was sidelined by a sprained left knee and ankle that had him still limping in pregame warmups. Buccaneers 18, Rams 17 TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Freeman led another Tampa Bay fourth-quarter comeback, throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Cadillac Williams with 10 seconds remaining. Connor Barth kicked four field goals for the Bucs (4-2), who trailed 17-3 before battling back to surpass their win total for last season. Sam Bradford threw two short touchdown passes and Steven Jackson became the Rams’ all-time leading rusher before things unraveled for St. Louis (3-4). Jackson finished with 110 yards on 22 carries, hiking his career total to 7,324. Browns 30, Saints 17 NEW ORLEANS — David Bowens returned two of Drew Brees’ four interceptions for touchdowns and the Browns stunned the defending champion Saints. Rookie Colt McCoy passed for only 74 yards but got his first win as an NFL starter — a desperately needed one for the struggling Browns (2-5). Scott Fujita and Sheldon Brown also had interceptions for Cleveland. Brees was sacked three times, once by Fujita, a defensive leader for the Saints last season. Chiefs 42, Jaguars 20 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Derrick Johnson returned an interception for a score and Matt Cassel threw two TD passes to Dwayne Bowe for Kansas City. The Chiefs (4-2) ran for 236 yards and three TDs while overcoming several penalties.

Cowboys can prove they aren’t bad ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo is floating a new theory about what’s wrong with the Dallas Cowboys: They’re not bad, just having bad luck. Such as five of his seven picks being tipped balls. Or some of the costliest of their 49 penalties being borderline calls that went against them. Such as an opponent’s punt dying around the 2-yard line instead of tumbling into the end zone . They are all little things that are supposed to even out over the course of a season but have piled up quickly, sending the

Cowboys reeling to a 1-4 start. “Snakebit,” Romo called it. Then again, maybe he’s just grasping for something — anything — to explain what a mess Dallas has been. The Cowboys go into their game against the New York Giants tonight hearing how this could be their last chance of salvaging playoff hopes. Losing this one would put the Cowboys up against some dreadful history. In the Super Bowl era, 148 teams have started 1-5 and only the 1970 Cincinnati Bengals wound up making the playoffs.
