Three arrested in drug bust

Scared?

BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Three people are in the Rowan County jail following a six-month drug investigation. The Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff’s Special Response Team (SRT) surrounded 470 Mainsail Road, the home of Charles Brown Aydelette Sr., Monday morning, setting off a flash bang grenade before entering. The raid yielded eight rifles and shotguns, that will be entered into the National Crime Information Center to determine if they are stolen, Xanax and Hydrocodone pills, and syringes. Over the past six months, authorities identified three main dealers — AYDELETTE SR. Charles Brown Aydelette Sr.; his son, Charles Brown Aydelette Jr.; and Dana Ward Winstead. Undercover purchases were made from each. They were arrested Monday and given hefty bonds. Charles Brown Aydelette Sr., 70, was charged with three counts of felony trafficking in opium by possession; two counts of trafficking in opium by sale; felony conspiracy to AYDELETTE JR. traffic in opium; three counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule III controlled substance; felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule IV controlled substance; felony maintaining a dwelling to keep, store and sell a controlled substance; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Aydelette Sr. is in jail under a $350,000 secured bond. WINSTEAD Charles Brown Aydelette Jr., 37, also of the home, was charged with felony trafficking in opium; felony conspiracy to traffic in opium; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Aydelette Jr. was given a $300,000 secured bond. Dana Ward Winstead, 38, also of the home, was charged with felony trafficking in opium by possession; felony trafficking in opium by sale; two counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule III controlled substance; two counts of felony selling and delivering a schedule III controlled substance; felony possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine; felony selling and deliver-

At 9 p.m. Saturday, people at the back of the line were looking at a fourhour wait. Only about 50 tickets remained for that evening’s show, and the lucky folks who snagged those would probably wait even longer. No one seemed to mind. Boogerwoods is that good. “It’s the best around,” Aimee McMillan said after going through the spooktacular haunted trail and forest on Phaniels Church Road between Rockwell and China Grove.

KANNAPOLIS – A unanimous vote by the Kannapolis City Council on Monday modified the restrictions the city holds on land originally meant to be preserved from development, allowing a pending sale to go forward. But the executive director of the LandTrust for Central North Carolina said the spirit of the original plan was maintained even though four homesites can now be planned for the 463-acre parcel. Three other tracts of land have already been sold to the State of North Carolina or private owners. This will be the second on which a limited number of homesites have been allowed. A similar alteration was made in 2008 to the parcel sold to Smith-Moore, LLC. No homes have been constructed on that land at this time. The original plan to sell some 2,849 acres to the state via the LandTrust has been affected by the down economy, Executive Director Jason Walser said. But Walser also said the previous sales had fulfilled the goals of keeping the land from being developed and keeping Kannapolis’ drinking water supply safe. As for the current tract, Walser said, “We had a lot of promising leads, and 2008 squashed all of them.” Under the new arrangement, the city will retain control over restrictions on the use of the property. But now, those restrictions will allow the tract to be split into four homesites, with a small isolated “finger” of land being offered for sale to the Hoffner family which owns adjoining land. No homes or development would be allowed on that small sub-parcel, Walser said. For the rest of the land, no more than four homesites may be built. And all of the original restrictions about the use of the land remain in place, except for those allowing it to be used for agricultural purposes. “Building those houses will allow those properties to be lived in and used as farms,” Walser said.

School system updates inclement weather policy, finalizes calendar BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education approved updated inclement weather protocol during its meeting Monday. “This is protocol the we’ve had for years and we’ve done some major revisions to it,” said Colby Cochran, the district’s director of assessment and accountability. The new protocol includes the option for a three-hour delay, uniformity for employee arrival when school is canceled or delayed and clarification on how Saturday make-up days will be structured. Cochran said the option for a three-hour delay needed to be

added to the protocol in order to give school officials an extra hour to decide whether or not it’s safe to conduct school on inclement weather days. Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said the school system would only use the delay in “extreme situations.” “That is only if we get desperate,” she said. “It is not something that we would use very often.” Grissom cited days last year when the weather was terrible during the early-morning hours, but cleared up later. She said delaying school rather than canceling is prefered so that students don’t have to make up days. Cochran said the adding one Today’s forecast 81º/67º Chance of storms

hour of forgiven time standardizes the arrival time for employees on inclement weather days. He said in the past there have been questions about how staff is expected to arrive on time when school is canceled or delayed for students. “We want our employees to be able to travel safely without penalty,” he said. Make-up days can be held on workdays, annual leave days, Saturdays and days added to the school year. Saturday make-up days will start at normal time, but students will be dismissed three hours early, with breakfast being the only meal served. Staff members will work a full day, unless they opt to use annual

leave. “We felt like we needed to update the plan now so that everybody knows the plan,” Cochran said. “Everybody gets excited when that first snowflake falls and people need to know what to expect.” The school board also approved the 2011-12 calendar put together by a 17-member committee that includes teachers, administrators, parents and students throughout the county. The first day of school is set for Aug. 25, 2011 and the last day of school will be June 8, 2012. “There is not a lot of flexibility with the calendar,” Grissom

marathon on each of the seven continents, at age 81 years, 101 days. She’s run in some of the most exotic races in the world, including the Great Wall Marathon, the Mt. Everest Challenge Marathon, the Antarctica Marathon — five of those miles are on a glacier — and the original marathon in Athens, Greece. The Athens race traces the run of the messenger Pheidippides in 490 B.C. from the plain of Marathon to Athens, where legend says he collapsed and died after announcing the victory of the Greeks over Persian invaders. The same course used in the 2004 Olympics in Greece. Hagerty’s favorite race is in Kiawah, which she has done 12 times. She also favors the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. She has run that race 30 times in total. She has completed some of the marathons in six hours, but these days, does what she call “the old lady shuffle” — a slower run than she had in the past. Two years ago, a mountain biker on the greenway ran into the back of her leg and “tore it up to the bone.” It was a difficult eight-month recovery. “I really have never come back from that completely,” Hagerty said. “As I was getting well, I was also aging. A double whammy.” Her best training tip is consistency.

“It’s been a drug house for a long time,” one resident said. “As a whole, Anchor Downs has been plagued with these neighbors for many years. Theft, vandalism, on and on ... There’s something going on all the time. “These people need to be put away. They have truly been a nuisance in this neighborhood for some time.” Authorities said the investigation began as concerned residents of the neighborhood called, reporting a large number of visitors to the home — visitors who only stay for a few minutes. The suspects also lived in poor conditions, authorities said. In August, authorities were able to go undercover and purchased several forms of prescription medications from the suspects. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing.

FROM 1a ing cocaine; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Winstead is in jail under a $350,000 secured bond. A flash bang grenade was used as the SRT made entry. Lt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said flash bang grenades are useful when officers have to enter a house with known drug activity, disorienting the folks inside, not allowing the suspects to resist arrest or attempt to throw out any illegal substances. Anchor Downs residents said the residence was a hub for drug activity for years, and are glad to finally see police presence in their neighborhood after leaving messages about the problem house for over eight years.

“Do it every day, and keep a regular schedule,” she said. Her schedule includes yoga twice a week, aerobics once a week, and she runs most other days. Doing her own yard work is thrown in for good measure. “I don’t make this a chore. It isn’t etched in stone,” Hagerty said. “I might go out to do 10 miles, but think I don’t want to do it today. Other days I may start and just keep on keeping on.” The senior runner has also

completed several triathlons, but not an Ironman. The training, she explains, is very intense for an Ironman. Although Kiawah will be her last marathon, Hagerty will continue to do half marathons. She can’t imagine ever stopping. She loves to compete. “It was really wonderful to find something late in life that was a whole new lifestyle, and that I love to do,” Hagerty said. “So I think of that as a blessing.”

CONCORD (AP) — Eighty marathons over the course of a lifetime would be quite an accomplishment for anyone. Eighty-seven-year-old Margaret Hagerty is about to attempt her 81st in Kiawah, S.C., in December which she says will be the final one. “I wanted to do one more marathon,” Hagerty said. At her age, the training is getting a bit difficult, she explains. Last week, she tripped over a suitcase in her home and injured her leg. Her training has taken a bit of a hiatus for now, although she did manage to get in a 17-mile run before the accident. Perhaps a more amazing part to her story, Hagerty wasn’t a runner until she was 64 years old. Her doctor told her to “quit smoking and get out and move it.” So her friend, Richard Hamilton, suggested she run to help stop smoking and get into shape. That first day she only ran the length of two houses, but she was hooked. The next day she ran three houses. Then four houses. At 66 years old, she ran her first marathon in Greensboro. “I have slow twitch muscles, so marathons never really killed me,” she said. “I found out early I could go a long time at a reasonably slow pace.” In 2005, Hagerty made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the oldest person to complete a

RSSS works Norandal CEO thanks employees to prepare application Plan will outline specific goals for federal grant money BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Rowan-Salisbury School System officials are busy preparing the district’s Race to the Top application. “Is it business as usual with this grant — no,” said Dr. Rebecca Smith, assistant superintendent for curriculum. “We’re supposed to be coming up with new models and out-of-the-box thinking for professional development models, data and disaggregation and alignment of data with the national standards and the North Carolina standard course of study.” Smith presented an update on the school system’s application to the Board of Education during its regular meeting Monday. The application must outline specific goals before receiving its $2.4 million portion of the federal grant, a total of nearly $2 million after the state removes about $416,000 for technology infrastructure improvement. North Carolina received $400 million from the $4.35 billion grant. Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said the district’s allotment will be distributed over a four-year period. The district’s plan must fall under the state’s blueprint for innovation and reform, crafted after Gov. See page 4B Bev Perdue’s Ready, Set, Go! initiative. The initiative addresses four key areas of school improvement: • Adopting international benchmarked standards and assessment that prepare students for the future; • Recruiting, developing, retaining and rewarding effective teachers and principals; • Building data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practices; and • Turning around the lowest-performing schools. Smith said the school system will focus on improving student achievement by providing professional development to prepare teachers to meet the needs of a diverse classroom. “Of course, the goal is making sure our students when they graduate from high school are ready to compete in the work force or compete with other college students,” she said. “And part of that goal is to increase our graduation rate and increase the number of students who go beyond high school to continue their education.” The plan will focus on improving student achievement by providing additional support and resources for students by training quality mentors and extending learning opportunities throughout the school year. The Race to the Top funds cannot be used like American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money that has been used to fill budget gaps. Smith said school officials are working to finalize the application and submit it to the N.C. Department of Public Instruction before the Nov. 8 deadline. The final application will be presented the board upon completion. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Hopeful contest winner loses $2,500 in scam BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury man fell victim to a scam, claiming he won $3.5 million from Publisher’s Clearing House. To receive the winnings, all he had to do was send $2,500 through Western Union, and the money would be sent to him through the mail. He was even promised to be on CNN “Channel 101,” the report stated. He never got the money, and continued to get phone calls from folks claiming to be with Publisher’s Clearing House. He called the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office when he realized it was all a scam. The man told authorities he believed the report until “Publisher’s Clearing House” began calling him, pressuring him to send more money. The man reported someone, who claimed to be the president of Publisher’s Clearing House, even called. When he didn’t receive the money that was promised, he called and asked for a refund, but the representatives told the man he’d see his winnings in seven to eight months. “Anytime you get something like that and they ask you to send them money for a reward, it’s probably not legitimate,” Lt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said. Sifford said to ask callers questions, and ask for a callback number. “They key is — have you ever entered anything,” Sifford said, and if the answer is no, then you probably have a scam on your hands. Sifford urges anyone with questions about a suspicious piece of mail, e-mail or phone call to contact the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704-2168700 or the North Carolina Attorney General’s scam hotline, 1-877-5-NO SCAM.

Kip Smith, far right, president and CEO of Norandal, stopped by the Salisbury Norandal USA plant to congratulate employees on raising money for the United Way campaign. Plant representatives along with city ofﬁcials were also on hand at the Monday reception.

United Way donations averaged $138 per employee B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

When Kip Smith reminisces about his childhood it’s with an affinity for the place he loved to hang out. The Midland Community Center was the place to play pool, swim and watch movies. He came from a family who was able to provide for the basic needs but didn’t have the extras. He likens his neighborhood to “Leave it To Beaver” but said “these were the things we didn’t have at my home.” The community center was a United Way agency. Today the agency is his charity of choice. Smith, who is president and CEO of Norandal, is passionate about the United Way and encourages his employees to support the agency’s efforts. Smith, along with representatives from all seven facilities including a bauxite mine in St. Ann, Jamaica, toured the Salisbury Norandal USA plant and personally congratulated employees on their hard work and contributions to United Way. Of all the plants, the Salisbury site had the highest per capita of giving, with an average of $138 donated per employee. Last year, the Salisbury plant brought in $9,000, and this year increased its contributions to $19,000. “It was a valuable lesson that the United Way doesn’t just focus on disaster relief,” he said of his childhood hangout spot. Smith said it’s important to stay connected to the community. “First it starts with efficiency. There’s very little of money used for overhead. Every dollar helps people in need. The United Way has the ability to respond to the needs of the community,” he said. Smith said each plant’s campaign was a success. He said the United Way is not just a place but it encompasses the donation of time and money to the community. Jeff Calderon, with the Norandal aluminum foil plant in Huntingdon, Tenn.,

said employees raised nearly $30,000 for their area United Way campaign. The company provided a $5,500 match and they also received an anonymous $2,500 donation. Last year their contributions raised $17,000. “We exceeded our goal of $18,000,” he said. The donations were direct ask, where a small campaign team contacted 35 percent of the employees directly to explain how the campaign works. The team contacted 225 employees, Calderon said. “The employees were very generous with their donations. To increase giving in a tough economy is a real blessing to the community,” he said. Karen Thompson, who represents Norandal in Jamaica, said last year during an unofficially announced United Way campaign, 12 employees raised $1,000. This year, 168 employees raised more than $9,000. “There was a rebirth,” Thompson said. The person who was the plant’s campaign chair was no longer at the company. This year was a rebuilding year. “We had to do a lot of one-on-one with employees. We re-energized it,” she said. Thompson said Smith’s passion definitely is noted by the employees. It inspires passion in the employees. Working together with all the plants, receiving help from the president of the company and local United Way staff also helped make his plant’s campaign a success, Calderon said. Shawnna Gerding with Norandal’s Aluminum Smelter in New Madrid, Mo., also saw an increase in contributions. The plant’s contributions went from $10,200 to $21,500 with a $4,300 in a company match. “There’s a renewed excitement,” she said. The plant has 870 employees. “We credit our CEO for taking the lead,” Gerding said. “United Way giving is a direct correlation to company morale. We’ve seen the

most dramatic increase in giving from our plant,” said City Manager David Treme. Treme thanked the company for adding jobs and money to the local economy. The company announced in August plans to create 25 jobs and invest $7 million in Rowan County in part by a $108,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. United Way Executive Director Bob Lippard thanked the company for its “generosity and support.” He called it a “team of caring individuals dedicated to helping one another.” Jackie Harris, United Way campaign and marketing director, thanked the company for the contributions. “We thank you all for your support of United Way,” she said. Harris said last year the campaign did not reach its goal, but company’s like Norandal making such a large contribution was “major” to this year’s fundraiser. Assistant Director Deborah Howell with Partners in Learning Child Development and Resource Center spoke about how the money raised benefits the partner agencies. Partners in Learning is not a United Way agency, but has had volunteers to build, paint or repair at the center during the United Way’s Day of Caring. Howell said to hear $10,000 is filtered in the community because of the hard work of donors was amazing. Partners in Learning Program Coordinator Michelle Macon, also attended with her daughter, who attends the center. Also in attendance were Robert Van Geons, executive director of SalisburyRowan Economic Development Commission, City Councilmen Paul Woodson and Brian Miller other plant and company officials. The visitors will meet today with a couple of United Way partner agencies that receive funding from the money raised. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-7974253.

Strong storms roll through parts of county B Y S HELLEY S MITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A straight-line wind in an isolated thunderstorm cell damaged several properties in the southeastern part of Rowan County Monday morning, blowing branches, power lines and entire buildings away. Bostian Heights Fire Department Chief Mike Zimmerman and Rowan County Fire Investigator Deborah Horne rode around the southwestern part of Rowan County Monday photographing and reporting the damages. According to Frank Thomason, Emergency Services director of Rowan County, when the cold front moved through, so did the isolated thunderstorms. Thomason said the damage extended down N.C. 152, beginning at the intersection of Millbridge Road and ending in the 5100 and 5200 block of East N.C. 152. The most damage was reported to 5115 E. N.C. 152. One of the gusts picked up a 20 by 20-foot outbuilding, ripping it apart. That residence also reported damage to barns,

Illegal outdoor burning leading cause of air quality violations N.C. Division of Air Quality

RALEIGH — Question: What is the most frequent air quality violation in North Carolina? Answer: Illegal outdoor burning. North Carolina’s open burning rule is one of its oldest air quality regulations, dating back to the early 1970s. The rule sets strict limits on outdoor fires and prohibits the burning of any man-made materials, because smoke pollutes the air and can be unhealthy to breathe. However, many citizens seem unaware of the limits on open burning or ignore them. That could be an expensive mistake. The N.C. Division of Air Quality can fine violators up to $25,000 or more for illegal outdoor burning. In fact, open burning violations are the division’s biggest enforcement problem. Open burning cases account for about two-thirds of all air quality complaints, half of all violation notices, and one third of all enforcement actions. Investigating and enforcing such cases cost the division an estimated $154,248 in 2000 alone. North Carolina law prohibits most open burning because the smoke from outdoor fires can cause serious health problems and pollute the air. For example, a study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that backyard burning of trash is the largest source of highly toxic dioxin emissions. Under the open-burning rule, it is illegal to burn: • Garbage, paper and cardboard;

• Tires and other rubber products; • Building materials, including lumber; • Wire, plastics and other synthetic materials; • Asphalt shingles and heavy oils; • Paints, and household and agricultural chemicals; • Building and other structures; • Anything on days when the air quality forecast is Code Red or Orange. Forecasts can be obtained by calling 1-888-784-6224 or visiting the Division of Air Quality website at www.ncair.org. Homeowners can burn yard trimmings — excluding stumps and logs over 6 inches in diameter — if it’s allowed under local ordinances, no public pickup is available, and it doesn’t cause a nuisance as defined in the rule. Other allowable burning includes campfires, outdoor barbecues, and bonfires for festive occasions. Businesses generally are not allowed to burn waste materials including vegetation. However, they may be allowed to burn vegetation to clear land or clean up storm debris if strict guidelines are met, but they should check first with the Division of Air Quality. People seeking to burn also may need permits from the state Division of Forest Resources. A free brochure describing what is allowed and prohibited under the state open burning rule can be obtained by calling 919-733-3340; writing to the Division of Air Quality at 1641 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1641; or checking the website at www.ncair.org.

UNC dorm wins energy savings contest CHAPEL HILL (AP) — A residence hall at the University of North Carolina beat more than a dozen competitors to win a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency contest to see which building could save the most energy. The EPA announced Tuesday that Morrison Residence Hall on the university’s Chapel Hill campus slashed energy use by nearly 36 percent in one year. That was best in a field of 14 buildings across the country chosen from nearly 200 that wanted to join the EPA’s first National Building Competition. Second place went to a Sears store in Glen Burnie, Md., that reduced energy use by 32 percent. A J.C. Penney store in Orange, Calif., that saved 28 percent was third. The dormitory beat a backyard rival. Tucker Residence Hall at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, about 25 miles east, finished eighth. The contest monitored the energy use of the participating buildings with an online tracking tool. Together, the buildings saved more than

$950,000 in utility bills and cut carbon dioxide emissions by an amount equal to a year’s worth of electricity for nearly 600 homes. Commercial buildings account for nearly 20 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and about 30 percent of the energy used in them is wasted, the EPA said. The UNC-Chapel Hill dorm was renovated three years ago with energy-efficient windows and solar thermal panels on the roof that provide heat and hot water. The dorm is home to students who want to participate in programs on energy and sustainability. The building reduced its energy use further over the year ending August 31 by using a computer touch-screen monitor in the lobby that helped everyone keep track of energy consumption. Competitions between floors in the dorm challenged students to see who could save the most energy by turning off lights and computers, and reminders were posted in elevators, bathrooms, and common areas.

Surfer-songwriter lives both of his passions W

it’s his location or his occupation, change works well for Ja-

son Andre.

A Rip Curl-sponsored surfer and accomplished musician who looks and sounds like the actor Matthew Modine, Andre was born in the suburb of Downer’s Grover outside Chicago. Today he lives in Wilmington and works in Wrightsville Beach. But the roots of what Andre’s life has become reach back to Cape Hatteras, where he moved with his family in 1988 at the age of 8. • • • Growing up on Hatteras “We vacationed in the Outer Banks for two weeks every year, going all the way back to when my mom was a little kid,” Andre said. “Before I was even born I was vacationing there.” After Andre’s grandparents retired, they bought a motel in the Outer Banks and asked his parents if they wanted to manage it. What started as a five-year plan turned into 20, and Andre grew up at Cape Pines Motel on Hatteras Island helping his parents run it. Located nearly a 100 miles east of the other barrier islands along the coast, Cape Hatteras is affected by two major currents in the Atlantic Ocean that collide there, causing turbulent waters and shallow sandbars. Only about a quarter-mile wide on average, Hatteras protrudes toward the southeast more than the rest of the Outer Banks. “It sits way out in the middle of the sound,” Andre said. “We’re exposed to everything the wind, the waves. In a way, it’s a pretty cool way to grow up.” Andre describes living on the island as if in a bubble, removed from the day-today lives of people on the mainland. On the island, where the year-round population is maybe 5,000, everyone knows each other. Hatteras, like other barrier islands, bears the brunt of hurricanes along North Carolina’s coastline, but the Cape Pines Motel is centrally located at slightly higher elevation.

“All the locals would stay with us during hurricanes,” Andre said. “The way the motel was shaped, when the wind was blowing one way, we all hung out on one side of the motel. When it switched, we hung out on the other side. It was brick and when it flooded on the sound side we were relatively safe. The most we ever had were missing shingles.” Running a motel was a 24-hour-a-day job. Living there, the family encountered years’ worth of tourists. The motel office led to the family’s kitchen, and visitors became part of the daily routine. The closeness of living in a small town, coupled with the comings-and-goings of tourists, enriched Andre’s life, he says. He became extroverted and looked forward to meeting new people, as well as to seeing those who returned year after year. “My friends spanned in age from 10 years younger than me to 50 years older,” Andre said. Andre also made friends with the local kids, all of whom surfed. A year later, after starting with body boarding, he was surfing too. “I loved going to the beach,” Andre said. “Back (in Chicago) my mom would put me in the pool at the YMCA, got me swim lessons. Pretty much out of the gate I loved being in the water.” An interest in music flowered in Hatteras too. Andre’s father Keith was in a 50s rock cover band and his mother Diane played piano. She started Andre in lessons by the time he was 6, and he recalls old photos of himself at 3 banging on his father’s acoustic guitar. “I still have it, still play it,” Andre said of his dad’s guitar. “I’m about to refinish it.” His father, perhaps due to the workload of being the motel’s maintenance man, put his guitar and amps in the motel’s attic. At age 12 Andre began climbing into the attic and plucking away. His father heard Andre playing, pulled all of the equipment down and started playing again as well. • • • Getting schooled In 1998 Andre enrolled at the University of North Carolina Wilmington to study marine biology. During his junior year, some of his friends were looking into exchange programs in places like Guam. Unable to get in there, Andre

sought options in Australia, a place he longed to visit. He was accepted and spent six months abroad. Because of the Sydney Olympics, exchange students were given an extended spring break, and Andrew spent part of his in Indonesia surfing. While there, he bought a didgeridoo made from cheap wood. Back in Australia, he practiced until he figured out how to play it properly. Individual didgeridoos each have their own pitch, depending on their length and diameter. Interested in how to achieve different pitches, Andre learned to make the instruments from bamboo, shaving down the substrate and burning images into the wood. • • • Working it For nearly five years, Andre worked for Life Incorporated, mentoring kids with social and behavioral disabilities. After marrying his wife, Jada, in 2003, he returned to Hatteras while still working for Life Incorporated. In 2006 the couple returned to Wilmington so Jada could get a masters degree in business. That same year, Andre’s family sold the motel, bought a normal house and got normal jobs. At work, Andre began to do case management for developmental disabilities and had to work extensively with Medicaid. “It was a lot of red tape,” Andre said. “It was a great experience and taught me a lot, but it wasn’t where I really wanted to be.” Andre left and spent the next year working with an audio visual company, but that didn’t work out either. Unemployed for three months in 2008, he used the free time to finish writing his first full-length album, “The Phoenix and the Fish,” a sweeping, sometimes tribal elucidation on humanity, faith, the ocean and love. He recorded it all at home. “I made that my full time mission, booking a lot of shows and pushing the music,” Andre said. “I still have to have a real job, (but) my wife, she’s my producer ... She’s always keeping me on track as far as buying new equipment, budgeting stuff out.” Eventually, Andre found a job he loves as Camp Director for WB Surf Camp & Sea Turtle Camp in Wrightsville Beach. Rick Civelli has run WB Surf Camp for 10 years, and for nearly two years now, Andre has

worked there teaching people of all ages to surf, from beginners to those wanting advanced instruction. He assists with adult camps in the winter, travelling to Costa Rica and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, teaching beginner adults to surf and coaching intermediate adults. In the summer they host team camps and guppy camps for little kids. “If I’m not in the water I’m in the office developing and doing a lot of writing for our web site, preparing for the next season,” he said. • • • Making music Andre has lent his music to documentaries, including “Red Fish Can’t Jump,” about the conservation of the red drum, North Carolina’s state fish. Last winter he entered two jingle contests, one held by downtown clothing store Edge of Urge and the other by restaurant Flaming Amy’s. “My wife said, ‘You should try this, it’s something different,’ ” Andre said. “Expand while you’re not recording a whole album, push outside the box.” For the Edge of Urge contest he placed second and for Flaming Amy’s Andre tied for first with local rockers Monkey Knife Fight. The creators of the top 10 entries in the Flaming Amy’s contest were invited to perform their jingles live at downtown Wilmington music venue The Soapbox. Andre enlisted local band Rio Bravo and, along with his father, they performed in a 50s/Stray Cats style. Judging was done by the crowd, and the results were close. “They couldn’t (decide) so it was a tie,” Andre said. On Oct. 22, he played at the VH1 Save the Music Fundraiser at the Soapbox with nearly two dozen other acts. This winter, Andre said he plans to record new material and aims to embrace different styles. The surfer-songwriter has fallen into a comfortable groove, and now has the good fortune to have his work be his passion. He enjoys surfing it’s at the center of his day job but when does he find time to do it? “In the winter,” he said with a laugh. “It’s impossible in the summer to do anything but just eat and sleep after running the camps. The fall and winter starts to slow down, so that gives me time to record. It becomes a time for creation.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we have allowed some homesites to be placed, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like those are particularly dangerous to our water supply.â&#x20AC;? During a break in the meeting, Walser told the Post that a number of residents had called him Monday after the upcoming vote was reported, expressing concerns about the potential change. Even so, Walser told council members that â&#x20AC;&#x153;most people are okay with the way this has played out.â&#x20AC;? And he said that there was little for the LandTrust to gain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not making money on this deal. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose about $200,000,â&#x20AC;? Walser said. But the original intent will have been fulfilled. Council member Kenneth Geathers needed to be reassured of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about selling the property to a developer and all of a sudden having 20 houses there?â&#x20AC;? Geathers asked. Walser said no. Geathers went on to make the motion approving the measure. Councilman Tom Kincaid seconded. City Manager Mike Legg said that the final plot of land still owned by the city could be handled differently. The remaining 701 acres has been offered to the LandTrust for $1,013,000. And Walser said that funds should be in place by February 2011 to allow the charity to complete that purchase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real issue here is the potential for the sale of the last tract of land,â&#x20AC;? Legg said. Even setting aside the decline in prices due to the recession and the areas that lie within the flood plain, Legg said the land might sell for upwards of $2 million with full development rights intact. Still, Legg said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to stick to the concept of the original agreement, the million dollars is ... a reasonable price for a property that has

marle. The long-debated agreement passed after weeks of consideration of how Alcoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for a new 50-year license to operate a hydroelectric dam on the Yadkin River might affect the process. Last week, Mayor Pro Tem Gene McCombs and Legg met with representatives of Albemarle, Concord and Alcoa. While the company didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a written commitment to support the water transfer, they did state that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to renegotiate a 1987 agreement with Albemarle to reflect the arrangement and an eventual higher amount of water being taken from the river. N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, the Republican representing the 36th District, attended Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council session and spoke briefly to members. He thanked them for taking the time to talk to Alcoa and consider the ramifications, adding that the state also supports the arrangement between Albemarle, Concord and Kannapolis. Not everyone was convinced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of having to trust the state to be in control of our future and our water rights gives me even greater heartburn,â&#x20AC;? council member Darrell Hinnant said. He referred to heated discussions and opposition to an interbasin transfer agreement to bring in water from the Catawba River. Hinnant said that having the state possibly responsible for another water transfer â&#x20AC;&#x153;scares me to death.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sort of between the devil and the deep blue sea, no pun intended,â&#x20AC;? Hinnant said. Hartsell, a vocal opponent of the Alcoa relicensing bid, said that Kannapolis would be better off with North Carolina in charge than what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a multinational corporation ... using the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resource while paying nothing for it.â&#x20AC;? Total estimated costs for the project are $19.7 million, of which Kannapolis is responsible for 37.5 percent, or about $7.4 million. Design is set to take about

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Rowan County

I support Anna Mills Wagoner in the race for Rowan County Superior Court Judge. She possesses the work ethic and experience, legal skill, community connection, and leadership ability necessary for the demanding responsibilities of Superior Court Judge. Superior Court Judges are critical to the disposition of both civil and criminal cases. However, I believe that the disposition of criminal cases more directly affects every citizen. Rowan County is in the midst of significant changes in the local criminal justice system. Within the past several months new Police Chiefs have been installed in China Grove, East Spencer, Granite Quarry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Faith, Salisbury, and Spencer; and, a new Sheriff and new District Attorney will be elected in November. Our next Superior Court Judge will inevitably be

Pending approval by the Cabarrus County Commissioners next month and eventual approval by the N.C. Local Government Commission, the city will finance $36 million. The city will hold that debt, but the county will consider agreeing to donate a portion of tax revenues from the downtown district which includes the N.C. Research Campus, starting in 2013. Also, once it is constructed, the agreed-upon Cabarrus Health Alliance complex in downtown Kannapolis will be held by the city as collateral until the debt is repaid.

Prior to attending law school Ms. Wagoner was involved in many community activities, most notably as Director of the Family Crisis Council. As a practicing attorney she handled a variety of civil and criminal matters, giving her wide ranging legal experience. In both community and legal matters she has been a strong advocate for families and for justice. Anna Mills Wagoner served eleven years as a District Court Judge for Rowan County, including seven years as Chief Judge. Judge Wagoner handled thousands of civil and criminal matters, always with vigor, expertise, and a commitment to justice. Judge Wagoner possesses attributes that will cause her to be an outstanding Superior Court Judge, and I urge the citizens of Rowan County to support her.

The abominable snowman scene is “really unique,” he said. “I’ve never experienced a scene that’s refrigerated and that cold.” The Flatback scene also wins points for creativity. “It’s the only scene that flips people on their back,” Hall said. “I haven’t seen that anyplace else.” In Flatback, the entire tour group is locked inside a large cage, which flips about 30 degrees, Hall estimated. Freddy Krueger appears to terrorize the guests. Then, the cage is flipped again and Michael Myers jumps from the second floor of the room, landing on the cage. Do not put your fingers through the cage, Hall suggests. While other, more wellfunded haunts may have big-

puts other haunts to shame, agreed McMillan and her friends, Michelle and Fred Honeycutt. “This one is very well put together,” Michelle said. Boogerwoods specializes in creative fright. The three friends and their teenage children had just exited a giant digestive tract, going in through the mouth and out through the you-know-what. Remaining dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Guided tours through 13 scenes including a mine shaft, dollhouse, oil rig, snake pit, discothèque and more start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 2 p.m. on site for that night’s show — no online or phone sales. All proceeds go to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis. During its five-night run this year, Boogerwoods will make about 2,000 people cry for their mommy and raise close to $24,000, weather permitting. Wayne Trexler founded the haunt in 1976 with his wife, Robin Trexler, who passed away last year from a lung disease similar to cystic fibrosis. The 2010 Boogerwoods is dedicated to her memory. Supported by a cast and crew of 80 volunteers, Trexler creates new scenes every year based on horror movies, scary literary characters and the stuff of childhood nightmares, like dolls and clowns. Some popular scenes have returned this year, including the Flatback with Michael Myers and the dance club. Nine scenes are new. One features an abominable snowman and some pretty realistic chilly effects. Trexler declined to say more, foiling potential copycats. “It’s scary, it’s funny, it’s entertaining,” said Kathy Crawford, who has volunteered at Boogerwoods for nearly 30 years. Dressed as a nun who sometimes wields a large knife, Crawford is one of several guides. Boogerwoods guides are renowned for their humor and storytelling skills, and Trexler returns this year in his guide role as Super Dave. Guide Lonnie Broome, dressed as a terrorist, said he came back for his third year as a volunteer because he loves to see the reactions. Along with standard scream-inducers like loud sounds, total darkness and lots of fake blood, Boogerwoods employs techniques such as passing through a small enclosed space (think intestine) and motion sickness to really exercise those lungs. And although the handful of people who didn’t make it through the third scene Saturday night may not agree, Boogerwoods prides itself on having a sense of humor. “You’ll have a good laugh,” Broome said. Ashley Burgess, now 30, said she practically grew up at Boogerwoods. After moving to Rowan County at age 14, the niece of Robin Trexler began volunteering and now serves as guide G.I. Jane, along with Mark Hall as G.I. Joe. One group guided by Burgess and Hall included a “runner,” a girl who became so scared that she ran circles around her friends and even took off through the woods. Hall brought her back. Groups like that take a little longer to complete the tour, Burgess said with a laugh. Trexler started working on this year’s Boogerwoods in December, just a month after he lost his wife. They had been married for 40 years. The preparations kept his mind occupied, he said. Some features, like the Vortex, take months to build. Trexler also lost a son in a car accident in 2007. The 30th annual Boogerwoods was dedicated to the memory of Scott Trexler. Wayne Trexler and his remaining son, Travis, now lead the effort. What started as a free Halloween trail has become one of the top-rated haunted attractions in the Carolinas. Boogerwoods has missed one year — 2004 — and closes only due to severe rain or lightning.

Fed throws its weight into foreclosure probe say fears could keep buyers on the sidelines now. Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray said Bernanke’s speech will force financial institutions to take the matter more seriously. In stepping up their inquiries, the Fed and other bank regulators are “not giving aid and comfort to institutions that want to sort of minimize this and almost sweep it under the rug,” Cordray said. The Fed is working with the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. They have a range of options. They include ordering companies to stop certain practices, imposing fines and working with lenders to come up with a fix.

Bernanke provided no details in his speech about any penalties being weighed. According to two officials familiar with the joint federal inquiry, the banking agencies are looking into whether companies had controls in place when foreclosure documents were signed and whether employees involved in the foreclosure process were adequately trained. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak about the inquiry. Ultimately, though, the mess will probably be settled by the states. “They can move more quickly than the Fed, and I think they have more leverage over banks to get them to quickly settle,” said Mark

Williams, a former bank examiner at the Fed and now a lecturer at Boston University. Some analysts suggested the Fed is trying to send the message that it’s helping to manage the foreclosure controversy. The central bank shared blame with other federal regulators for failing to head off the 2008 financial crisis. “The Fed is already late to the crime scene,” Williams said. Like the Obama administration, Bernanke and other federal regulators have declined to call for a national moratorium on foreclosures. At least one regulator, Sheila Bair, chairman of the FDIC, is even discouraging homeowners from overloading the courts with law-

suits. “The regrettable truth is that many of the properties currently in the foreclosure process are either vacant or occupied by borrowers who simply cannot make even a significantly reduced payment,” Bair said in a speech Monday.

In home markets that have been devastated by the housing bust, the paperwork mess is already causing buyers to be wary of purchasing homes in foreclosure. Some buyers are worried the sale will be canceled because the previous owners were wrongly foreclosed on.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising pressure on banks, the Federal Reserve is wading into the investigation of whether mortgage lenders cut corners and used flawed documents to foreclose on homes. Major banks are already under investigation by state officials with subpoena power, who could force them to detail how they handled hundreds of thousands of foreclosure cases. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke added weight to those efforts Monday by saying the central bank would look “intensively” at policies and procedures that might have allowed banks to seize homes improperly. “We take violation of proper procedures very seriously,” Bernanke said in remarks to a housing-finance conference in Arlington, Va. The Fed has the power to impose penalties on some of the nation’s largest banks. Still, most legal experts expect an investigation by attorneys general in all 50 states to have a swifter and more lasting impact. Big mortgage lenders are looking into whether employees signed foreclosure documents without reading them. Some banks have halted tens of thousands of foreclosures since similar practices became public. While the banks say there’s little if any evidence that any foreclosures were improper, regulators around the country have suggested the banks were in a rush to foreclose and may have committed outright fraud. Bank of America and Ally Financial Inc.’s GMAC Mortgage have started processing foreclosures again, after calling a temporary halt while they reviewed mortgage documents. It’s happening as the housing market struggles to recover. Sales of previously occupied homes rose 10 percent in September, but the foreclosure problem surfaced only at the end of the month.

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.

The GOP could capture new Senate or House majorities in a dozen to 18 states — along with critical new power to redraw district maps and influence elections for a decade to come. Three of the biggest prizes are New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. All three states are expected to lose seats in Congress as a result of the 2010 census, and that’s sure to ignite boundary fights. A party’s congressman on the wrong end of redistricting can find the district he’s represented for years no longer exists. Democrats have hopes, too.

Kentucky and the House in Texas and Tennessee. Texas would be a particular victory, since it seems likely to have four more seats to divvy up under the new census. But none of the analysts contacted by The Associated Press predicted the Democrats would succeed in any of those states. Both houses in Florida, a state that’s expected to gain two seats in Congress, are likely to remain under GOP control. While most of the attention in next week’s midterm elections is focused on races for Congress and governor, results in scores of local, downticket races carry far-reaching implications, likely to dilute Democrats’ dominance in the once-every-10-years redrawing of political district boundaries for the U.S. House.

RI governor candidate: Obama can ‘shove it’

dorse him. Frank Caprio’s campaign said last week that he would welcome the president’s endorsement. But on Monday, the same day Obama made his first visit to Rhode Island as president and a day after the White House said Obama would endorse no one, Caprio angrily told WPRO-AM that Obama can “take his endorsement and really shove it.” It was a surprising aboutface for Caprio, the state’s general treasurer, whose campaign had said as recently as Sunday night that he was looking forward to Obama’s visit and that he would accompany the president to two appearances. Rhode Island’s congressional delegation expressed disapproval of Caprio’s comments, but the head of the Democratic Governors Association said it was Obama’s decision that was disappointing — not the candidate’s remarks. “Frank Caprio has spent his career fighting for the values of the Democratic Party. He deserves the full support of our party and its leaders,” said association executive director Nathan Daschle.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) — President Barack Obama plunged into a final week of midterm election campaigning Monday, his party’s prognosis darkened by a feeble economy and his itinerary stitched together to minimize losses to resurgent Republicans. Nor was his greeting likely to lift his spirits in Rhode Island where Obama has pointedly declined to endorse his party’s candidate for governor. Obama can “take his endorsement and shove it,” declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republicanturned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House. In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and a pair of fundraisers. Visiting a company that makes buckles and straps for outdoor and travel gear, he said he and the Democrats in Congress have cut taxes 16 times in 20 months. Republicans “talk a good game” when it comes to tax cuts, he said, but in fact they opposed several bills he labored to get passed. “It’s not enough to just play politics,” he said. “You can’t focus on the next election. You’ve got to focus on the next generation.”

GREENSBORO, Ala. (AP) — Townsend Kyser looks over the 750 acres of catfish ponds scattered over his west Alabama farm and wonders about the future. The 33-year-old is a third-generation catfish farmer. The family business started in Hale County in 1969 when his grandfather, Joe Kyser, built some of the first ponds designed to raise catfish in the state. Now it’s up to his father, Bill, his brother Ashley and himself to keep things going. It isn’t easy. The American catfish industry has hit hard times of late, due largely to two factors — the tremendous increase in feed costs and cheaper Asian fish flooding the market, Townsend Kyser said. “We want to compete on a level playing field. We feel like we can win on a level playing field,” he said. “But the foreign fish is so much cheaper than what we can produce. ... Our fish is of higher quality, and safer for people to eat. But the market is the market. The cheap imports are competition, but they also deflate prices that the market can stand.” The biggest reason foreign fish is cheaper is labor costs, said Mitt Walker of the Alabama Farmer’s Federation. “In America we have to pay farm help and people that work in the processing plants at least minimum wage,” he said. “That’s much more of a labor cost than the subsistence wages in Asia. Also, American farmers have to live up to government standards for feed, water quality and other factors that drive up production costs.” Imported fish averages about $1 a pound cheaper, he said. Catfish is just like any other commodity; the price often varies from day to day. But the last several months domestic catfish has come in between $3 and $3.50 a pound, he said. In 2009, there were about 129 million pounds of fish imported into the country under the name of catfish, a huge increase from 3.4 million pounds in 1999, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service website. Catfish farming in America, called “aquaculture” in the industry, is a multibillion-dollar industry. The 2002 U.S. Fish and Rural Reinvestment Act declared that tra and basa, fish regularly imported from Asia, can’t be sold in America as catfish. Tra and basa still might be coming into the country as “catfish,” said Roger Barlow, president of the Catfish Institute in Jackson, Miss. Mississippi is the leading U.S. producer of catfish, followed closely by Alabama, said Barlow. Other catfish producing states include Louisiana and Arkansas. The industry employs more than 13,000 people and generates an economic impact of more than $4 billion a year in each of the four states that produce the fish, institute figures show. Along with the threat posed by the imports, costs of raising catfish in this country have gone up, said Walker. From about 2003 to 2007, the cost of catfish feed averaged $235 per ton, he said. In 2008 that cost skyrocketed to $390 a ton and hasn’t come down much since, he said. “Catfish feed is made of soybean and cornmeal, so when grain prices go up, the feed goes up,” Walker said. “Having your production costs go up like that is hard to absorb. American catfish farmers produce a quality product. We have seen growth of 5 to 7 percent a year in the market until this year and last year.

Jamaican reggae singer Gregory Isaacs dies at 59 LONDON (AP) — Gregory Isaacs, the Jamaican reggae singer whose smooth style earned him the nickname “Cool Ruler,” has died. He was 59. Isaacs’ manager, Copeland Forbes, said the singer died Monday at his London home. Isaacs had been diagnosed with lung cancer a year ago, but continued performing until weeks before his death. His wife Linda said Isaacs was “well-loved by everyone, his fans and his family, and he worked really hard to make sure he delivered the music they loved and enjoyed.” Born in a Kingston, Jamaica slum in 1951, Isaacs began recording in his teens, and went on to produce scores of albums . With his sinuous baritone and romantic songs, Isaacs became a leading proponent of the mellow “Lovers Rock” style of reggae. He hit his stride in the mid-1970s with ballads like “Love is Overdue” and “All I Have Is Love.” Later that decade he teamed up with the Jamaican production duo of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare for several hit songs including “Soon Forward” and “What A Feeling.” “Gregory’s voice and writing ability was wicked. He was one of those soulful singers you could sit and listen to for hours,” Dunbar said Monday. Isaacs was best known internationally for the title song from his 1982 album “Night Nurse,” a club favorite which

later became a hit for Simply Red. His career was stalled by a cocaine habit that landed him in jail on several occasions. Isaacs said ruefully in 2007 that he’d gone to “Cocaine High School ... the greatest college ever, but the most expensive school fee ever paid.” Drug abuse took a toll on his voice but he kept making music, releasing a well-received final album, “Brand New Me,” in 2008. Suggs, lead singer of reggae-influenced British band Madness, said the dapper, fedora-sporting Isaacs was “a great reggae artist and also one of the most sartorially elegant stars on the world stage.”

Vol State working on classes on bluegrass music GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) — Officials at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin are working to develop classes on bluegrass music.

According to a news release from the school, the classes would deal with the history of bluegrass, music theory and career opportunities. Other jam sessions are scheduled for Nov. 12 and Nov. 22.

After the baby goes to sleep, I work as a lawyer to support all of our daily expenses: insurance, food, everything for the baby, etc. We live below our means, have never had a scintilla of debt and my husband owns our family home. I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom and

Dear Loss: You are worried about your deficits as a wife, but I am worried about your husband’s deficits as a husband and as a person. The only thing you need to do differently is to face the fact that your husband is being abusive. Rather than continue to turn yourself inside out figuring out how to do everything to perfection and also please your husband, you should start to focus on what you are going to do if your husband’s behavior doesn’t change considerably. This treatment will continue to wear you down. Without a doubt it will affect your child. No child should witness this treatment. Advocate for yourself and your child, and ask yourself some very tough questions about your marriage. A counselor will help you to sort this out. You and your husband should go together — but if he won’t participate, go on your own.

Dear Mark: I believe in honesty and disclosure, but I also believe in telling children the facts of their own lives in a way that’s developmentally appropriate for them. A child’s sexual education starts in toddlerhood (when he first learns to name the parts of his body) and continues to the end of adolescence. Somewhere around age 7, you’ll explain how boys and girls are different and tell him the basics of human reproduction. Kids love to hear their own unique birth story, and you can tell your son that you and his mom needed extra help to have a baby and so another man’s sperm was used with mom’s eggs to make a baby — and that baby turned out to be him! If you and your wife have another baby during your son’s childhood, you can explain the process to your son as your family experiences it. Your son may have questions about this through his childhood. Make sure he can ask you anything and know he’ll receive an honest and thoughtful response. The clinic that coordinated your sperm donation should have recommendations for how to handle this increasingly common issue. You should inquire.

I do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning and child-minding and have always been upbeat about it. I hired a nanny for a few hours a week so I could get out to the hairdressers and gym and stay well-groomed and in excellent shape. However, he insists on calling me fat, stupid and lazy and complains incessantly about the tiniest things. What am I doing wrong? What can I do differently? — At a Loss

Reckless behavior wrecked economy Six and a half years into the “big, bad” Bush administration, unemployment was about 5 percent; the stock market was above 14,000; and the real estate market was strong. But because of the president’s mishandling of the war in Iraq, foreign policy garnered much of the news, not the economy. However, there were things taking shape at this time. In the midst of all our economic good fortune, I believe a false sense of security came over the country. In the process, we became cocky, careless and reckless. This precipitated seductive lending by banks, unwise borrowing by consumers and high-risk practices by Wall Street. Hence, we are where we are today. This brings me to my point. It was not economic policy that failed America but our own human behavior. It would be foolish to abandon the policies and philosophies of the past which enabled us to prosper in the first place. We must become smarter and more disciplined regarding the prosperity we have achieved. To conclude, it is not true that “he who dies with the most toys wins.” — Allan Gilmour

Bingham for judge It is my great pleasure and privilege to endorse David Bingham for Superior Court judge. He has been a well-respected attorney in Rowan County for 27 years, working daily in our court system. His familiarity with the policies and processes of the court will make his transfer to judge seamless. David’s knowledge of court personnel will allow for an efficiently run court, reducing any backlog and providing timely services to our citizens. David is a hard-working, compassionate and dedicated attorney who has represented many in our community, giving them the full benefit of his expertise and knowledge. He is an asset to our neighborhood, city and county, supporting many local organizations. I urge everyone to vote for David Bingham for Superior Court judge. — David Garling Salisbury

Biernacki for DA I have had the privilege of knowing Karen Biernacki for the past 14 years through the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office. Karen is a dedicated and honest prosecutor with integrity. Anyone who knows Karen knows that she is not a politician who will just sit behind her desk and draw a paycheck. She works long hours preparing for each case, whether it is a violent felony or misdemeanor larceny. Her compassion for her job is second to none. Karen has developed and will maintain a close, respectful relationship with all law-enforcement agencies throughout Rowan County. She has successfully led the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office in the prosecution of heinous crimes in her 14 years as prosecutor. Karen will prosecute cases based on the law and evidence just as she has over her entire career. Political considerations will have nothing to do with it. If elected, Karen will not owe any favors to anyone and will be free to do what is right for Rowan County citizens. Citizens, it is not the time for us to go soft in the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office. Vote Karen Biernacki Rowan County district attorney on Nov. 2. — Phillip Bradshaw Salisbury

Cook for DA All other things being equal, I normally vote for the Democratic Party candidate since I believe the Democratic Party does a somewhat better job of protecting the interests of the middle and working classes that make up the backbone of our country. Unfortunately, in the case of district attorney, all other things are not equal. Republican candidate Brandy Cook is clearly the better qualified candidate. In the interests of full disclosure, I should note that Karen Biernacki tried me in Superior Court in February on a misdemeanor simple assault charge dating from June 2006. The trial re-

sulted in an 8-4 hung jury and a mistrial was declared. Putting aside my personal feelings, let’s look at the objective record. Even Ms. Biernacki’s own full-page advertisement in the Post shows that she and Ms. Cook are both experienced trial lawyers. However, Ms. Biernacki has never tried a first-degree murder case in her 14 years as an assistant district attorney. One might reasonably ask, why not? Ms. Cook has also received several endorsements from those who have worked with her in Cabarrus. Where are the corresponding endorsements for Ms. Biernacki? Most importantly, where is Mr. Kenerly’s endorsement? Mr. Kenerly is a Republican and Ms. Biernacki is running as a Democrat, but this should be about who is the best person for the job. I therefore urge the voters of Rowan County to vote for Brandy Cook, the candidate who has the best relevant experience. Ms. Cook seems to be the candidate best able to work with all elements of the criminal justice system in order to promote the most effective and efficient administration of justice and promote the maximum safety of the citizens of Rowan County. (But vote Democratic for the other offices.) — Phillip Wright China Grove

Bingham best choice I am writing you to encourage all voters to mark their ballot for David Y. Bingham for Superior Court judge. Although I am friends with and greatly admire both Anna Mills Wagoner and Marshall Bickett, I believe that Bingham is the best choice for this seat. I come from a family of lawyers, and my family have certainly retained many of Salisbury’s lawyers over the years, so I consider myself familiar with the breed. David Bingham has helped me and many, many friends with his impressive, keen mind, and his love of and respect for the law. I have watched him defend folks from all quarters of Rowan society with equal vigor. He is a compassionate and earnest man. I’ve also watched him listen intensely to absolute fools, and yet somehow make enough sense of their stories to help them when they can’t help themselves. He really is quite brilliant. His intellect and ability to see through nonsense is further bolstered by his fairness. He always seems to discern what is right. He has frequently set me straight when I was wrong. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, David Bingham has a great sense of humor. My friends on the bench tell me that sometimes this is the only way they can touch base with the court’s hu-

manity. It is certainly sometimes the only way a judge can get through the day’s docket. If you are unfamiliar with David Y. Bingham, get to know him. I think you’ll find, as I do, that Rowan County will be blessed to have him on the bench. — Lee Clement Piper Salisbury

Time for a change Lorene Coates is a fine lady. It is simply time for a change. The issue of this campaign is jobs and our economy. On these issues, Lorene Coates has shown an inability to lead. Mrs. Coates and her party have gradually moved us into a position of being uncompetitive with our surrounding states when it comes to attracting investment, industry and jobs. The fact is, we have the highest corporate income tax in the South, and you’d have to travel to New Jersey to find a higher personal income tax rate. North Carolina’s gas tax is 32.2 cents per gallon compared to 16.8 in South Carolina, 19.5 in Virginia, 20.8 in Georgia and 21.4 in Tennessee. Mrs. Coates refers to this glaring disparity as “business friendly,” but the truth is companies are engaged in a global competition where pennies on the dollar can determine where they choose to locate. Even with all of these higher taxes, we still face higher budget deficits than Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Why? Do we want better schools? Better police and fire protection? A more efficient court system and adequate jails? Then we must pursue fiscal policies that attract businesses to our state and our community. Doing so broadens our tax base, generates revenues necessary to improve our schools, provides desperately needed jobs, and helps keep taxes low for our families and businesses. This election is about more than just a few paved roads. I’m supporting Harry Warren because he understands that in order to compete for jobs in a global market, we must first put our state’s financial house in order. Harry knows we must become competitive with our surrounding states if we want to attract industry and jobs. Lorene Coates is a wonderful person, but it’s time for a change. — Greg Edds Salisbury

Coates for N.C. House All might be fair in love and war — and politics — but it bothers me when someone is unfairly misrepresented by their political opponent, and the opponent’s campaign puts their political signs on property without permission from the owner. Lorene Coates has worked for

the people of Rowan County all of her life. She has represented Rowan admirably and capably in Raleigh and is probably the best we have been represented since the days of Robie Nash. Best of all, she represents all the people, regardless of their political affiliation. Because she knows how to work with all people instead of cranking out her own agenda, she manages to get things done and has accomplished in Raleigh what few can do. Rowan County needed another District Court judge position to facilitate the clogged court system. The surrounding counties also needed additional judges, but in this tight budget year, Rowan was the county that got the much needed judge. Lorene has the ability and the seniority to get the job done. She doesn’t have to tell you what she can do and what she believes. She lives her beliefs every day and has proved her ability. With Lorene Coates as our representative in Raleigh, we can keep our front-row seat. — Roselind H. Steele Mt. Ulla

Burgin and annexation Bill Burgin is one of the candidates for county commissioner. He has a proven track record with the City Council for forced annexation. If you live outside the city and have a burning desire to give your money to Salisbury, then vote for him. Personally, I never will. I am retired, have a small pension and Social Security. I can’t afford to be annexed. If Bill would like to give away his money, then he could make a donation to Salisbury. — Don Champion Rowan County

Smith for judge I have had the distinct pleasure of assisting with Doug Smith’s campaign for District Court judge in Rowan County. Doug’s enthusiasm and dedication to the practice of law, his desire to serve the citizens of Rowan County and his friendly manner easily persuaded me to join his campaign. Doug will bring a wealth of life experience to the courtroom, including not only his legal practice as a prosecutor, defense attorney and certified mediator, but also his experience as a serviceman in the U.S. Army National Guard and as an emergency medical technician. This experience, combined with his knowledge of law, provides Doug with a keen understanding of how the law affects the daily lives of ordinary people. As he has demonstrated throughout his campaign, I am confident that Doug will work tirelessly as a judge in serving the citizens of Rowan County. He will strive to exercise common sense and traditional community values while applying the law im-

Dear Rowan County residents, if you want a judge who truly has the work ethic and experience needed to be an effective and efficient judge, then vote for Douglas A. Smith on Nov. 2. I have known Mr. Smith since I was a 15-year-old sophomore at North Rowan High School. He gave me the opportunity to intern in his law office when no one else in Rowan County would. I know from firsthand experience that Mr. Smith is a hard worker dedicated to giving all his clients the best legal representation possible, often sacrificing his evenings and weekends to research legal issues, review case materials and return calls. Having worked with Mr. Smith for over six years, I know he has the legal expertise and knowledge required of a judge. On top of this, he has the personal qualities Rowan County needs in a judge — an open mind, integrity, efficiency and enthusiasm. You cannot build a successful law practice as Mr. Smith has done without these qualities. Mr. Smith’s decision to run for judge was not one he made on a whim or because someone suggested he should. It was a decision made out of a desire to further serve his community and make a positive impact in it. I encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote and vote Douglas A. Smith for District Court judge!! — Karen K. Bestman Salisbury

Vote for Warren My first encounter with Harry Warren, who is running for the N.C. House District 77, was when he came to my door as he canvassed the neighborhood. We talked at length about the political issues and problems facing us today. I was impressed with his views and sincerity. Since I am in the 12th Congressional District, I am most interested in the accomplishment of a fair and equitable redrawing of this district, which should be done in 2011. I believe it is important to elect Harry to participate in this. Harry has had extensive experience in the business world and knows full well the need for employment opportunities for our citizens and how important it is to encourage businesses to come to our area. Harry has stated that the economy and the creation of jobs are the most critical issues we face. We must revise the tax codes and encourage small businesses to come to Rowan County. As he has stated, the three areas that should not be cut are education, health services and roads. Efficiency studies have been largely ignored by Raleigh, but Harry Warren advocates consolidation of unnecessary boards and committees as one way to eliminate costs of running the state government. I would encourage you to go to www.rowancountync.gov and click on 2010 Candidate Forums, and I believe that you will vote for Harry Warren as I plan to do. — Dorothy P. Earle Salisbury

Kissell for 8th District As the mother of a lance corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, I want to ask everyone to go out and vote. This is an important election. I’ll be casting my vote for Larry Kissell. I trust him. He has shown judgment, a willingness to listen to the people and to do the right thing. I hope I’ll be seeing you at the polls. — Delores Cuccaro Concord

NPR chief sorry over handling of Williams’ firing NEW YORK (AP) — NPR’s chief executive says she’s sorry for how analyst Juan Williams’ dismissal was handled — but not for firing him. Vivian Schiller sent an apology to National Public Radio staff members on Sunday night and wrote to managers at NPR stations. Her dismissal of Williams for saying on Fox News Channel that he gets nervous when he sees people on a plane with clothing that identifies them as Muslim became a “public relations disaster,” NPR’s ombudsman said. The question now for NPR is whether the situation will cause lasting damage to public broadcasting permanently, or whether in some ways it might help it. Williams, who was fired in a phone conversation, deserved a face-to-face meeting, Schiller wrote. She has also expressed regret for saying, after last Wednesday’s firing, that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and “his psychiatrist or his publicist — take your pick.” NPR, which had long been troubled by Williams’ dual role as an analyst at Fox, said his remarks violated its standards of not having on-air personnel giving opinions. “I stand by my decision to

end NPR’s relationship with Juan, but I deeply regret the way I handled it and explained it,” Schiller wrote to staff members. Williams said Monday that he had not received any apology from NPR or talked to anyone at the station since his dismissal. NPR said Schiller has tried to reach him. “Obviously, I feel that I should have had the opportunity to supply NPR with the entirety of the context of the statement to make sure they understood, and I am hurt by the suggestion that I need a psychiatrist and am a bigot,” he said. Schiller’s decision unleashed conservative critics already suspicious of public radio at a time when many stations were soliciting pledges, right after a liberal icon donated $1.8 million, and shortly before an election that could put some of its opponents in a position of power. NPR had previously asked Williams not to identify himself as an NPR analyst when he appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor” or other Fox shows. The journalist said last week he believed his bosses were looking for an excuse to fire him. It looked to many on the outside as if Williams was losing his job for saying something that

“I stand by my decision to end NPR’s relationship with Juan, but I deeply regret the way I handled it and explained it.” VIVAN SHILLER NPR chief executive

hardly seemed like a fireable offense. Yet the decision also eliminated a distraction — NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard said Williams had long been the subject of the most listener complaints — and allowed NPR’s leaders to portray themselves as defenders of old-school journalistic values. The fallout spread quickly. PBS ombudsman Michael Getler said he had received hundreds of calls or e-mails critical of the decision, even though Williams did not work for public television. When Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina introduces planned legislation to eliminate government funding for public radio, he said it would include television, too. The Williams dismissal also came shortly after the Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, a frequent target of conservative critics, donated $1.8 million for NPR to hire people to report on government or pro-

vide other resources in all 50 states. One danger for NPR is that Williams’ exit calls attention to the network’s lack of on-air diversity, said Richard Prince, who blogs about diversity for the Maynard Institute of Journalism Education. Williams was one of its few nonwhite personalities. More than 100 people called or e-mailed Cincinnati’s NPR affiliate, WVXU, with the majority complaining about the decision, said Rich Eiswerth, the station’s CEO, president and general manager. Two people canceled their memberships, he said. “In my opinion, this is going to be a tempest in a teapot,” Eiswerth said. “The news cycle being what it is — a week from now is a decade in the news cycle — I don’t think it will have a big impact on NPR.” WAMC radio in Albany, N.Y., said it received several complaints, not necessarily from its members. “There was an organized right-wing

attempt to use this to embarrass NPR,” said Alan Chartock, the station’s president. “NPR had it coming, because they really blew it.” But he said the decision to fire Williams might help fundraising for NPR stations in some parts of the country. Fourteen percent of NPR listeners identified themselves as Republican, 40 percent said they were Democrats and 41 percent were independent, according to a survey taken in June by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Among all surveyed by Pew, the breakdown was 25 percent Republican, 33 percent Democratic and 34 percent independent. “With their listeners, (Williams’ exit) would be a positive,” said Robert Lichter, author of “The Media Elite,” a 1986 book that traced political leanings of journalists. “I don’t imagine a lot of their listeners are regular Fox viewers.” An estimated $3.3 million of NPR’s $166 million budget comes from federal grants, or less than 2 percent, rendering the political threat to strip its public funding a small issue. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting accounts for roughly 10 percent of the NPR affiliate stations’ revenue on average — more for small, rural stations and less

in the big cities, said Dana Rehm, NPR spokeswoman. PBS, meanwhile, gets 15 percent of its budget through CPB funds — making the threat more meaningful. “As far as members of Congress are concerned, we believe that they will understand the distinction between the different organizations,” said PBS spokeswoman Jan McNamara. The “vast majority” of people who called NPR to complain are not NPR members, Rehm said. The net effect on individual donations still is not known, she said. NPR has also checked with its corporate benefactors and found most remain steadfast in their support, she added. NPR hopes that listeners and other journalists will appreciate their efforts to stand strong about removing all appearances that their employees are biased, particularly with the strong cable news trend in the opposite direction. NPR already earned a reputation for prissy purism among some critics when it wouldn’t allow staff members to attend comic Jon Stewart’s Washington rally this weekend, fearing their presence would send a political signal. “There’s no question that point has been lost in the heat of the entire controversy,” Rehm said.

ensure our products are not sold to underage consumers and are not abused,” the statement said. The FDA sent a warning letter to Phusion Products in November 2009 asking the company for information that shows adding caffeine to alcoholic beverages is safe, and the case remains open, the agency said in a statement Monday. Four Loko comes in several varieties, including fruit punch and blue raspberry. A 23.5ounce can sells for about $2.50 and has an alcohol content of 12 percent, comparable to four beers, according to the company’s website. Health advocates say the caffeine in the drink can also suspend the effects of alcohol consumption, allowing a person to consume more than usual. “It gets you really drunk really fast and it gives you a lot of energy so you’re not going to be laying down and sleeping,” said 18-year-old CWU freshman Hyatt Van Cotthem of Everett, Wash., who said he’s tried the beverage but doesn’t drink it because the taste is “nasty.” He didn’t attend the party. Regulating such drinks would be a good idea, Cotthem said, because he’s seen so many students do dumb things when drinking it. But he and a friend also questioned that the drink alone could have wreaked so much havoc. “There’s no way that Four Loko caused all these people to just pass out,” he said. The nine sickened students have recovered and returned to their classes. No criminal charges have been filed, but Rittereiser said the investigation into the source of the alcohol continues. Gaudino banned alcoholic energy drinks from CWU’s campus Monday, following the president of New Jersey’s Ramapo College, who banned the drinks last month after attributing several students’ hospitalizations to Four Loko. “It’s not that we’d seen a lot of consumption, but we’d seen enough that it worried us, because it was in situations of extreme intoxication,” Ramapo President Peter Mercer said Monday. “Having seen no redeeming social use for it, and seeing the damage and danger it could pose, I ordered a ban.” Mercer said he eagerly awaits the results of the FDA review and supports a measure to ban the drinks in New Jersey. Utah and Montana have restricted the sale of the caffeinated malt liquors to just state liquor stores. A bill to ban the drinks in Washington state failed in the Legislature earlier this year, but McKenna and Gov. Chris Gregoire said they would support another effort.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Sugary, high-alcohol energy drinks that are popular with college students who want to get drunk quickly and cheaply came under renewed scrutiny Monday as investigators announced that nine freshmen had been hospitalized after drinking them at an off-campus party. Several states are considering outlawing the drinks and at least two universities have banned them from campus while the Food and Drug Administration reviews their safety. Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna called for the drinks to be banned and sent a letter to the FDA on Monday, saying the drinks “present a serious threat to public health and safety.” The issue received new attention after the Oct. 8 party in Roslyn, a picturesque mountain town known as the place where part of the 1990s television series “Northern Exposure” was filmed. Police first responded to a report of an unconscious female in a grocery store parking lot and learned about the party from her friends. At the home, officers found a chaotic scene, with students from nearby Central Washington University passed out and so intoxicated that investigators thought they had overdosed on drugs. Nine students who drank a caffeinated malt liquor called Four Loko were hospitalized with blood-alcohol levels ranging from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent, and a female student nearly died, CWU President James L. Gaudino said. A blood-alcohol concentration of 0.30 percent is considered potentially lethal. All the hospitalized students were inexperienced drinkers — freshmen ranging in age from 17 to 19. Toxicology results showed no drugs in their bloodstreams, though a small amount of marijuana was reported at the party, university police Chief Steve Rittereiser said. Some students admitted drinking vodka, rum and beer with Four Loko, which is made by Phusion Projects Inc., of Chicago. Phusion said in a statement that people have consumed caffeine and alcohol together safely for years. The company said it markets its products responsibly to those of legal drinking age and shares with college administrators the goal of making campuses safe and healthy environments. “The unacceptable incident at Central Washington University, which appears to have involved hard liquor, such as vodka and rum, beer, our products, and possibly illicit substances, is precisely why we go to great lengths to

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Eight years after he was taken to Guantanamo as a teenage prisoner, a Canadian pleaded guilty Monday to killing a U.S. Army sergeant during a battle in Afghanistan, in a deal that will send him home in a year to serve his sentence. Defenders say Omar Khadr, who was 15 at the time of his capture, was a “child soldier” pushed into becoming an alQaida fighter by his father, an associate of Osama bin Laden. The plea deal ends a widely criticized trial that made the United States the first Western nation since World War II to prosecute a child offender KHADR for alleged war crimes. The exact terms were not immediately disclosed, but Khadr’s sentence was reportedly capped at eight years, in addition to time already spent at the Guantanamo detention camp. The now 24-year-old prisoner, who was seriously wounded when he was seized in a gunbattle in 2002, admitted to throwing a grenade that killed a special forces medic during a fierce raid on an alQaida compound. He also pleaded guilty to building and planting roadside bombs and receiving weapons training from al-Qaida. He is the last Western detainee at Guantanamo. The Toronto-born Khadr’s trial had been scheduled to start Monday and he faced a possible life sentence. The chief military prosecutor, Navy Capt. John F. Murphy, said the government welcomed the deal, which was initiated by the defense, because it removes any doubt about Khadr’s guilt. “What you saw puts a lie to the long-standing argument by some that Omar Khadr is a victim,” Murphy told reporters in an aircraft hangar near the courthouse on the U.S. base in Cuba. “He’s not. He is a murderer and he is convicted by the strength of his own words.” Khadr did not explain why he changed his plea, though Dennis Edney, one of his Canadian attorneys, said it was a “very, very difficult” decision made only because Canada agreed to repatriate him after a year. It came down to a choice between a trial his lawyers called “illegal” and going home — and he chose the latter, Edney said. “We have reviewed the evidence. ... We have looked at the circumstances and it’s our clear opinion that Mr. Khadr is an innocent man, that Mr. Khadr was put into a hellish conflict and continues to remain in this hellhole that has a record internationally of abuse,” Edney said. Khadr faces a sentencing hearing that begins Tuesday before a military jury. The panel cannot impose a sentence more severe than the plea agreement, but could issue one that is more lenient. Army Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, the Pentagon-appointed military defense lawyer, said he would seek to contradict the image of a hardened terrorist presented by prosecutors. “I look forward to proving to the panel and the world that Omar Khadr is a kind, compassionate, and decent young man who deserves a first chance at a meaningful life,” he said. Khadr had previously pleaded innocent and resisted efforts to settle his case. But on Monday, dressed in a dark suit instead of the jumpsuits typically worn by Guantanamo prisoners, he calmly answered a series of questions from the judge to make sure he understood his decision. Staring down at the defense table without making eye contact, Khadr was asked if anyone had made any promises to him so that he would plead guilty. He answered simply “no.” “You should only do this if you truly believe it is in your best interests,” the judge told him. It was the fifth conviction at the Guantanamo military tribunals, including three in plea bargains. The war crimes prosecu-

Anti-hunger group to sponsor Gordon

Panthers’ offense takes needed step BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Four-time NASCAR champ Jeff Gordon will be sponsored next season by an anti-hunger campaign coordinated through the AARP Foundation. The multiyear deal will be announced Wednesday by Hendrick Motorsports. A person familiar with Hendrick’s sponsorship agreement confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the official announcement had not been made. According to paperwork filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Hendrick Motorsports has requested trademarks on two different slogans: “Drive For Hunger” and “Drive 4 Hunger.” The campaign will be the first cause-related sponsorship of its kind in NASCAR, which has struggled to attract new business since the economic downturn began late in 2008. Sponsorship dollars have been dramatically reduced, and many teams, Hendrick included,

CHARLOTTE — When Carolina finished a winless preseason without scoring an offensive touchdown, coach John Fox tried to spin it as no big deal, blaming it on the Panthers working in new players and experimenting with the passing game. Fox came clean Monday, a day after tasting victory for the first time nearly 10 months. With Matt Moore overcoming a big gaffe to play like it was 2009 again, rookie receivers showing their potential and Carolina finally moving the ball when it counted, the Panthers (1-5) rallied to MOORE beat San Francisco 23-20 on Sunday to end their worst start in 12 years. “Even though your offense doesn’t play every snap in our preseason, I think it just kind of snowballed,” Fox said of their dreadful August. “I think we were pressing. We felt all along that we were better than what we were performing.” Going back to Moore after benching him for Jimmy Clausen after Week 2, the 26-year-old recovered from an interception returned for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to lead Carolina to 10 points in the final 1:53 to stun the 49ers.

had to let go employees while adjusting to smaller budgets. Lack of funding put some teams out of business and led to mergers between several top-tier organizations. Others had to explore nontraditional NASCAR sponsors as potential revenue sources. Everyone has been affected, including Gordon and two-time champion Tony Stewart, two of the sport’s biggest stars. Stewart earlier this month finally announced an 11-race deal with ExxonMobil Corp. and acknowledged the difficulty in securing sponsorship in today’s market had stretched to NASCAR’s elite. “It’s tough, you realize there’s a lot of teams competing for the same dollars,” he said. “The competition off the track is just as tough as the competition on the track. There are still companies that are going to be in the sport, and there are still companies who want to be associated with marquee guys. associated press

Perrine a quick study

Salisbury golf wins regional BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan softball standout Sarah Perrine batted .500 against top-notch pitchers at the Surf City October Showcase held in Huntington Beach, Calif., but the real challenge was keeping up with schoolwork. “I caught PERRINE the red-eye flight late Sunday night in California and got back to the airport in Charlotte at 6 a.m. on Monday,” Perrine said. Perrine missed a half day of school on a Thursday when she embarked on her odyssey. Obviously, she was absent that Friday. She’s on the honor roll as frequently as she’s been on West coach Elizabeth CLARKE Clarke’s lineup card, so she was determined not to miss any more classes. “I drove from the Charlotte airport straight to school,” said Perrine, a junior shortstop. “No sleep at all, but I managed to keep my eyes open all day. I even made an ‘A’ on a Bible History quiz. I was proud of that one.” She played with her Lady Blues 18-under teammates, including South Rowan’s Kaitlyn Jones, in New Jersey and New York the week before she headed to California, so softball has made her an experienced traveler. “In California, I got to see Orange County, Laguna Beach and Hollywood and I met girls from Canada and Holland,” Perrine said. “I also saw a whole new level of traffic jams.” Perrine, who was accompanied to the West Coast showcase by a Lady Blues coach, couldn’t have done much better on the field in the seven games she played.

salisbury’s amber Lyerly wipes off her club following a chip onto the ninth green.

HUNTERSVILLE — Members of Salisbury’s girls golf team talked about a variety of subjects, including their fondness for NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, during a 90-minute rain delay at the 1A/2A/3A Central Regional on Monday. Once the heavy storm passed and play resumed, an odd moment lightened the mood: A neighborhood dog stole the ball belonging to Charlotte Catholic’s Devin Murphy, who had hit a shot into the rough on her next-tolast hole. Salisbury senior Amber Lyerly was in the group directly behind Murphy’s. “I’ve heard of a squirrel stealing somebody’s golf ball,” Lyerly said with a laugh, “but never a dog.” Despite the difficult conditions and strange occurrences at Skybrook Golf Club, the tournament ended with a predictable result. Salisbury, led by first-year coach Kelsey Babos, continued its seasonlong unbeaten streak by posting a 252 to defeat runner-up Northern Guilford by 16 shots. Madison Kennedy (80), Lily Yatawara (83) and Lyerly (89) scored for the Hornets. Madeline Hoskins (102, state qualifier via a scorecard playoff) and Brooke Smith (105) also participated.

YATAWARA

“We came in third my sophomore year; last year, we came in second,” Lyerly said shortly after her round ended. “Coming in first, we’d be taking our steps to the next level. “Hopefully we can win a state championship, which I’m rooting for. If it doesn’t happen, hopefully we’ll all be humble.” The Hornets, who will visit Southern Pines to play at Longleaf Golf and Country Club next week, finished seven strokes behind Western Alamance at last year’s regional. They were the runnerup to West Henderson at the state tournament. Kennedy, Yatawara and Lyerly have improved in the year that’s passed since that experience. “We’ve gotten really close as a team and become really good friends,” Kennedy said. “That helps a lot. When we see each other on the golf course, it makes us smile and we start doing better.”

Brown’s Jones offers return on investment BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — When he smiles, A.L. Brown receiver Teven Jones displays the braces of an innocent kid, but the silky senior is a very dangerous young man. When he’s not soaring to catch passes, he’s creating havoc returning kicks. Jones and Damien Washington usually are the deep men on kickoffs. Jones and sophomore J.P. Lott handle punt returns. “We don’t get a lot of chances for big returns because

no one really wants to kick it to us,” Jones said. Jones isn’t bragging, just being honest. He nearly broke a kickoff JONES against Statesville opening night and took a punt 54 yards to the house in Week 2 against South Rowan. Those plays are on film, and coaches are pretty smart.

Tar Heels trying to recover from injuries BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

tony romo broke his left collarbone.

Dallas loses Romo, game B Y JAIME ARON Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo’s season might be over, Giants 41 and the Dallas Cowboys’ Cowboys 35 season might as well be. As for Eli Manning and the New York Giants, everything’s clicking. Romo broke his left collarbone in the second quarter, then his teammates let a 13-point lead turn into a 41-35 loss Monday night that helps send both teams in opposite directions in the NFC East. The Giants (5-2) won their fourth straight and moved a full game ahead in the division. Dallas slumped to 1-5, its worst start since 1989. That was the year Jerry Jones bought the team, Jimmy Johnson took over as coach and the Cowboys went 1-15. Everyone knew that team would stink. This club, however, had Super Bowl hopes. Coach Wade Phillips acknowledged this is the most frustrating of his 34 seasons in the NFL. He also said he told the team to keep fighting. “We’ve got some guys I think will step up and make plays,” he said. “They fought hard all the way. It looked like we were way out of it and we still had a chance. We kept fighting.” Any logical chance of turning this season around ended 12:07 before halftime when Romo went down. Recovery time is generally 8 to 10 weeks and, by then, there may not be any reason to rush back. Only one team in NFL history has recovered from 1-5 to make the playoffs. Phillips said he had no immediate timetable for Romo. Romo was drilled by blitzing linebacker Michael Boley in the second quarter. It was a clean hit, but certainly a kill shot — Boley was untouched and Romo was vulnerable after having thrown a pass. He went down hard on his left shoulder and remained flat on his back. X-rays showed the break before halftime, but Romo was back on the sideline for the second half, his arm in a sling and covered by a jacket. He wore a headset and trying to encourage teammates, but there wasn’t much to cheer about. The Cowboys actually were up only 10-7 when Romo left and stretched it to 20-7. Then New York scored on its next five possessions, a 31-point flurry that sent home much of the crowd by the middle of the third quarter. The Giants actually were ahead by the time Romo’s injury was diagnosed. Dallas backup Jon Kitna hadn’t played since Oct. 5, 2008, when he was part of Detroit’s winless season. Whether it was the long layoff, being 38 or both, he sure looked rusty. “It just took him awhile to get going,” Phillips said. “Once he did, it gave us a chance.”

OFFENSE FroM 1B To put that into perspective, the NFL’s lowest scoring team had scored two points in the fourth quarter — total — in five games. “Maybe I felt pressure early on,” said Moore, who went 4-1 as a starter last season. “You can’t play like that. You have to play this game loose and aggressive. That was the kind mentality I took and I tried to keep that mentality all game.” Save for throwing a ball directly into defensive tackle Ray McDonald’s gut early in the fourth quarter for the go-ahead TD, Moore looked nothing like the QB who was benched after six turnovers in two games and eight in less than nine quarters. Moore completed 28 of 41 passes for a career-high 308 yards and two touchdowns. It ends, for now, any quarterback controversy. “He sat back, watched and I think it’s a good learning experience,” Fox said of Moore’s three-game benching. “I think you saw a guy who learned a lot by watching.” And while they beat a team in disarray that lost starting quarterback Alex Smith in the third quarter, there was jubilation Sunday as the Panthers

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina has played short-handed all season due to the ongoing NCAA investigation into the football program. Now injuries are a problem. The Tar Heels were without linebacker Quan Sturdivant and cornerback LeCount Fantroy due to injuries in last weekend’s loss at Miami. In addition, cornerback Mywan Jackson, safety Da’Norris Searcy, fullback Anthony Elzy and H-back Ryan Taylor all left with injuries and didn’t return. Coach Butch Davis said he hopes to know more about the status of those players as the week goes on for the Tar Heels (4-3), who step out of ACC play this weekend by hosting William & Mary. But as he pointed out, there’s only so many moves a team already depleted due to the NCAA probe can make. “The fact is that when guys start to get injured, whether it’s a temporary injury of a cramp or a hamstring pull, it challenges your depth,” Davis said Monday. “And we’re pretty challenged from the depth standpoint already.” That lack of depth seemed to

The NCAA review into agentrelated benefits and possible academic misconduct has already sidelined six players for the season. That includes defensive tackle Marvin Austin being kicked off the team, and the NCAA declaring defensive end Robert Quinn and receiver Greg Little “permanently ineligible.” Safety Deunta Williams and

cornerback Kendric Burney recently completed NCAA suspensions, though Burney still has yet to play due to an unresolved issue. The status of two other players, fullback Devon Ramsay and defensive lineman Michael McAdoo, remains in question, while tailback Ryan Houston was cleared to play after five games but might redshirt. That’s made the normal run of injuries that befall a team during the season even more troublesome. North Carolina has had 26 scholarship players miss at least

one game due to injuries or the NCAA investigation this year. “I think guys have just got to dig deep and play with injuries,” Williams said. “Everybody’s playing hurt. I think we’ll get some guys back into the rotation, but if we are (short-handed), then the guys we have will have to play. That’s been the mindset this whole year with all the other things going on: Whoever’s playing is playing.” The biggest injury was the loss of leading receiver Zack Pianalto for the season with a broken right leg before last week’s game. The tight end had successful surgery Friday. Sturdivant has missed four straight games with a hamstring injury. Against Miami, Searcy suffered a concussion, Jackson hurt his groin, and Taylor and Elzy suffered shoulder injuries. “As depleted as we were going into the game, we had a lot of guys go down during the course of the game, which was discouraging to see,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “It was kind of a bad feeling out there. This week is going to be big for us getting healthy and getting as many guys back as we can and moving forward.”

NCAA tackles agents issue, looks to new sanctions Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — Several groups are working with the NCAA to find new ways to enforce rules prohibiting improper agent-related benefits for student-athletes, including possible post-NCAA financial penalties that reach into a player’s potential NFL career. The NFL, NFL Players Association and sports agents are among those involved in talks with the NCAA that have included various proposals. Chicago-based sports agent Rick Smith, a member of the NCAA panel, said Monday that while discussions are preliminary, new rules could be in place within three to five months. Such rules would likely be enforced primarily by the NFL and the players’ union. “Something is going to happen,” Smith said, “and it’s going to happen quickly.” In a news release, the NCAA

said the panel is identifying areas for “greater collaboration,” including enforcement efforts by state officials dealing with sports agent laws and examining “the frequency and timing of agent contact with student-athletes.” Smith said the panel is looking at a range of possible sanctions. Among the NCAA panel members: NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson, Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian, Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany and Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive. The agent issue has touched several schools including defending national champion Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia in recent months, but nowhere has the impact been felt more than North Carolina. The NCAA launched its investigation here over the summer, then expanded the probe to

include possible academic misconduct. Coach Butch Davis called the NCAA panel discussions “an important step.” “There’s not one single entity that can solve this issue,” Davis said. “It’s going to take a lot of people. There’s an answer some place, and we’ve just got to work hard to try to find it.” The North Carolina Secretary of State’s office launched its own probe shortly after the NCAA investigation to examine whether the state’s sports agent laws were broken. Austin, former assistant coach John Blake — who resigned in September — California-based agent Gary Wichard have spoken with investigators in that probe, which is still ongoing. “A lot of this stuff that has gone in at several institutions has been going on for a long time,” Davis said. “The unfortunate thing is the NCAA doesn’t have an army. They

can’t investigate every single thing that goes on.” MISSISSIPPI STATE STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State’s cowbells are in jeopardy. The SEC is poised to levy fines against the school for violating the league’s noisemaker policy related to its cowbell tradition. CINCINNATI CINCINNATI — Zach Collaros’ knee injury could force Cincinnati to change quarterbacks for its next game against Syracuse. WASHINGTON ATTLE — His ribs are tender from shots he took against Oregon State and a thigh bruise won’t go away. But Jake Locker said Monday he definitely would play Saturday against No. 13 Stanford. UCLA LOS ANGELES — UCLA has suspended receiver Ricky Marvray and offensive tackle Sean Sheller for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Stress fracture in ankle makes status of Favre unclear Associated Press

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre’s ironman streak has endured a litany of injuries and even a pair of premature retirement press conferences. Perhaps this is the week that, finally, Favre’s health prevents him from playing. The 41-year-old Minnesota quarterback has a stress fracture in his left ankle that could end his NFL-record streak at 291 consecutive games started — 315 including the playoffs. Vikings coach Brad Childress said Monday an MRI on Favre’s foot revealed the stress fracture as well as an “avulsion” fracture in the heel bone. An avulsion fracture occurs when a fragment of bone is torn away by a tendon or ligament. “He’s got great pain threshold and also great competitive zeal,” Childress said, succinctly summing up Favre’s legacy of durability. NFL NEW YORK — One week after drawing heavy fines for illegal hits, James Harrison and Brandon Meriweather were praised by the NFL for clean play in Sunday’s victories.

won for the first time since Jan. 3. That gave way to some confidence Monday despite still being far out of the playoff conversation. “It’s still too early to say we’re out of it,” linebacker James Anderson insisted. The good news for Carolina is it’s not last in the NFL in total offense anymore, edging ahead of Arizona after scoring a season-high in points and reaching double figures for the first time in four home games. The revamped offensive line, while struggling to open running holes, did an adequate job protecting Moore as Garry Williams got his first start at right tackle. Fox said it’s “safe to say” the same lineup will start Sunday’s game at St. Louis with Jeff Otah (knee) still sidelined. The Panthers also finally got production from their young receivers facing single coverage with the 49ers placing attention on Steve Smith. Rookie David Gettis overcame a crucial dropped touchdown pass on fourth down to haul in the tying TD in the back of the end zone with just under two minutes left. Gettis, a sixth-round pick from Baylor, caught eight passes for 125 yards and the first two scores of his NFL career. He came in with 10 catches for 119 yards in five games. “It was a blessing, really,” Gettis

Ray Anderson, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, told The Associated Press on Monday that Meriweather and Harrison “heeded our emphasis” on eliminating fouls and deserve to be lauded. So do others, Anderson said, after no flags were thrown for illegal hits to defenseless players in the 13 games. RAMS ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson set the franchise’s all-time rushing record over the weekend despite playing with a broken finger. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Jackson had surgery on his left ring finger Monday. The Rams said two pins were put into the finger, and his status for this Sunday’s home game against Carolina was unknown. The Rams will be without safety James Butler against the Panthers after he suffered a knee injury Sunday, Spagnuolo said. JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Darrelle Revis is ready to shut down receivers — and questions about his balky left hamstring. The New York Jets’ All-Pro cornerback de-

said. “An opportunity to show the team that I’m here and I’m going to make a play for you guys.” Fellow rookie Brandon LaFell, who had caught five balls coming in, had six catches for 91 yards, including a 35-yarder that set up John Kasay’s game-winning 37-yard field goal with 39 seconds left. But there’s still plenty of work to do. The running game was stymied again and DeAngelo Williams hobbled off in the final minute with what Fox said Monday was a sprained foot. He provided no other information. Jonathan Stewart’s season-long struggles continued, managing 29 yards on 14 carries. Stewart, who ran for 1,133 yards last season, has 148 this year and is averaging three yards carry. Fox doesn’t think his history of Achilles’ tendon and ankle problems are to blame. “I don’t think his health has anything to do with it,” Fox said. But the Panthers wanted to stress the positives as they celebrated the end of a nine-game losing streak counting their awful preseason. “We’re very happy for the offense,” said cornerback Richard Marshall, whose interception of David Carr set up the winning fieldgoal drive. “We just have to keep doing our job and the offense is going to get rolling.”

Rangers looking for breakthrough at AT&T Park BY JANIE MCCAULEY Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Not only have the Texas Rangers never been to the World Series before, they are winless in nine games at AT&T Park. And make that an 11-game losing streak in San Francisco dating back to the windy, cold nights at the Giants’ former home of Candlestick Park. “That’s something you don’t even consider. It’s a different team,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Monday before his team worked out at AT&T Park. “They’re a team that really came together at the right time and started playing very well once the playoffs started and played well throughout them.” Still, the Rangers must find a way to win in San Francisco’s pitcherfriendly waterfront ballpark at least once, because the Giants have homefield advantage in the Series. Game 1 is Wednesday night — and the Giants know Texas manager Ron Washington will have his team ready with postseason ace Cliff Lee on the mound for a marquee matchup against two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. “Just like the Rangers lost in ‘99, and never won a home playoff game, those have nothing to do with this team,” Rangers third baseman Michael Young said Monday at the

san Francisco players take part in a stretching exercise in left field. team’s downtown San Francisco hotel. “Whatever happened in the past is the past, nothing to do with what happens now, just like regular season games have nothing to do with the postseason. That’s all in the past.” The Giants returned to the Bay Area on Sunday afternoon following their Game 6 victory Saturday night at Philadelphia that sent the franchise to its first World Series since the Barry Bonds-led 2002 team that finished runner-up to the Angels. This squad is so different from that 2002 team. There is no superstar in this gritty bunch.

“We fought,” said left fielder Pat Burrell, one of several new faces to come along during the course of the year. “We scratched and clawed. I don’t know how we did it but we did it.” Bochy announced his rotation before the start of Monday’s on-field session. After Lincecum goes in the opener, Matt Cain will start Game 2. When the series shifts to Texas, Jonathan Sanchez will start Game 3, followed by rookie and South Caldwell High School graduate Madison Bumgarner. Following Lee for the Rangers

will be C.J. Wilson in Game 2, then Colby Lewis and probably Tommy Hunter in Game 4. Texas got to town Monday afternoon, opting to wait until today to hold its first workout on the field where it has endured so many defeats. Yet since AT&T Park opened for the 2000 campaign, Nolan Ryan’s Rangers have at least made things interesting. Of those nine losses to the Giants, five were by two runs and three by one run. The only somewhat lopsided score was 5-1. The Giants have the NL All-Stars to thank for starting the World Series at home. This is the first time the Series has begun in a National League park since 2001 at Arizona. Home-field advantage stopped rotating between the leagues in 2003, going instead to the league that won the All-Star game. The NL finally ended its 13-year drought by winning this year’s Midsummer Classic, and the Giants are the beneficiary. “We’re proud and we’re humbled to be where we are today,” said Bill Neukom, San Francisco’s bowtiewearing, second-year managing partner. Texas players actually had a few chances to change that All-Star outcome, but Elvis Andrus, Raleigh native Josh Hamilton, Vladimir Guerrero and Ian Kinsler combined for just one hit in seven at-bats against

the National League. Giants closer and 2010 major league saves leader Brian Wilson retired Andrus to start his perfect eighth inning at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium. Lee, who had just been traded from Seattle to Texas four days earlier, didn’t factor into the decision, pitching one inning of relief. But boy has the lefty been a key for the Rangers in October. He is 3-0 during this playoff run and 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA for his career in the postseason, covering eight starts in five series with the Phillies and Texas. “There’s nobody pitching better. We know it,” Bochy said. San Francisco will look to produce more offense — as tough as that might be against Lee and Co. The Giants were outscored 20-19 by Philadelphia in six NLCS games and had three one-run victories in both that series and the division series against Atlanta. One thing San Francisco has is depth, with somebody different capable of delivering a key play or hit on any given night. So far this postseason, Cody Ross has been the star. “I think there probably were some people surprised to see these two teams in the World Series,” Bochy said. “But it’s good for baseball.”

Miami set for Big 3 debut in Boston Associated Press

MIAMI — Before leaving for the airport Monday and catching the flight to Boston, Dwyane Wade had a conversation with the friend he calls Larry. As in, the Larry O’Brien Trophy. The one they give out for winning an NBA championship. “I asked him where he’s been,” Wade said. “He’s eluded me. He’s been missing for a while.” Larry will be waiting for someone in June, and tonight the Miami Heat will take what they hope is their first steps toward winning him when a season of title expectations finally opens in Boston. Miami squares off against the reigning Eastern Conference champion Celtics in a matchup loaded with story lines. LeBron James’ opener with Miami after seven seasons in Cleveland. Wade’s first time with James and Chris Bosh as his Heat running mates. Shaquille O’Neal — once a teammate to both Wade and James — playing his first game in Celtics’ colors. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett motivated by a Game 7 loss to the Lakers in last season’s finals. Miami’s new Big 3 vs. Boston’s not-so-new Big 3. Oh, and the small fact that Wade and James were both ousted from the playoffs by Boston last spring. “I think the NBA did an unbelievable job of picking a great first game,” Wade said. O’Neal says he believes it’s just another game, noting that the only big games in which he’s played in are the ones

where “jewelry” — a ring — is up for grabs. Not everyone is of that opinion. “Once LeBron took his talents to South Beach, I think everyone got excited,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. The Heat practiced one last time in Miami on Monday morning, followed by coach Erik Spoelstra gathering his team in the locker room for a quick meeting. He didn’t have to say much. Spoelstra brought Miami’s 2006 championship trophy and reminded everyone of the season’s lone goal. “We’re all ready for this because of how long the summer has seemed,” Spoelstra said. “Seemed like it’s taken forever to get to this point. But it’s finally here. And finally we can have most of the talk about the game and not all these other things.” By the time tip-off rolls around tonight, 110 days will have passed since James made “The Decision” to leave Cleveland. He acknowledged Monday that South Florida still doesn’t totally feel like home. The team does, though. “I’ll be ready tomorrow,” James said when asked about his motivation level. “I’ll be ready. I’ll be ready.” His summer — and the fallout — was the theme for a Nike commercial released Monday, in which James is sitting on the set of the show in which he announced his decision and asked “What should I do?” He drives by the spot in Cleveland where the famous “We are all Witnesses” banner comes down, talks with Don Johnson while in Miami Vice-

styled suits, even munches on a doughnut while taking a shot at Charles Barkley — one of the most outspoken who railed against James’ decision, calling him “a punk.” “Should I be who you want me to be?” James asks to end the 90-second spot. The Celtics know what the Heat did this summer is why this game was scheduled to open the season. Commissioner David Stern won’t be there; he’ll be in Los Angeles handing the Lakers their championship rings three hours later. BUCKS MILWAUKEE — The Bucks exercised the thirdyear option on Brandon Jennings’ rookie contract. BULLS CHICAGO — The Bulls have exercised the fourthyear contract option on Derrick Rose and third-year options on two forwards, Taj Gibson and James Johnson. TIMBERWOLVES MINNEAPOLIS — Martell Webster had back surgery and will miss the first four to six weeks of the season. THUNDER OKLAHOMA CITY — The Thunder exercised its contract options for six players, including starting point guard Russell Westbrook. The Thunder picked up the fourth-year option on Westbrook and forward D.J. White and the third-year option for guards James Harden and Eric Maynor, forward Serge Ibaka and center Byron Mullens. The moves would allow Oklahoma City to keep all six of the players through the end of the 2011-12 season. KINGS SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

SALISBURY POST

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2010 • 5B

PREP SPORTS

JONES FROM 1B So Jones was as stunned as anyone in the stadium at Hickory Ridge on Friday when he saw a punt spiraling his way. Like a center fielder, he snagged the ball in the air near the right sideline. “I don’t know, maybe they made a mistake,” Jones said. “But I’m looking up and I’m thinking, ‘Hey, I can catch this one.’ I went and got it.” One thing about the Wonders (8-1, 5-0 SPC) — they work on stuff like this, just in case opportunity comes knocking. Brown’s punt return teams have scored 12 touchdowns in Ron Massey’s 11 years as head coach. This would be No. 12. Lott took out the snapper as Jones angled to his left. There he found space. DB Kaleel Hollis delivered a springing block, and Jones, who has great wheels, bolted down the left sideline. “I saw the punter and one more guy,” Jones said. “I was able to make a quick cut and they sort of tackled each other.” Assistant coaches Scott Jordan and James Lott, J.P.’s father, are very serious about special teams. The Wonders make those blocks in practice. That’s why they executed under the lights when it counted. There was still 10:40 left in the third quarter when Jones reached the end zone, but no more points were scored. Brown won 28-13. “They were covering me tight on my pass routes, and I missed the only good opportunity I had when I didn’t catch a slant,” Jones said. “I was glad to make up for it with a good return.”

PERRINE FROM 1B “I hit some doubles, stole some bases, got my bunts down and made about 100 plays in the field,” she said. “I was on my game. For some reason, I played better out there than I’ve been playing for my own team.” Even with a junket to Hollywood thrown in, it wasn’t all fun and frolic. “We went to the field at 6 a.m. for an 8:30 game,” Perrine said. “Then we ran all the way around a baseball field four times to warm up, and it was pretty

DaviD LivengooD/SALISBURY POST

A.L. Brown’s Damien Washington, often a deep man on kickoffs, finds a crease against Hickory Ridge. Brown assistant coach Shon Galloway tested standing vertical jumps in his P.E. class on Monday. Jones demonstrated impressive hops — 331⁄2 inches. That wasn’t a shock. He’s the best basketball player at a football school. A 6-foot guard, he averaged 16.1 points per game as a junior. He topped 20 points seven times, with a high of 27 against rival Concord. “Teven’s a great athlete and a great basketball player,” quarterback Martel Campbell said. “He can use his basketball ability to go up and get the football and to make

cold, a lot colder than I ever expected.” Perrine learned new hitting drills. A teammate accidentally smacked a ball through a window, but Perrine avoided any mishaps. She got along with teammates, and they got a kick out of her Southern accent. “For some reason, the girls from Texas didn’t have an accent,” Perrine said with a laugh. “Just me.” Perrine admitted she experienced real homesickness for the first time. That could affect her college choice down the road. “I’ve always thought I’d like to go off somewhere, but I started missing North

plays. The punt return he had Friday was a big momentum-swinger for us.” Jones weighed 105 pounds when he started high school. He worked his way up to 180 prior to this season, but he’s a lean 174 after months of running and conditioning. He’s not sure about his future. There are a lot of 6-foot shooting guards. There are also a lot more college scholarships available in football than hoops. He could have a decision to make. “I’ve always been a basketball player, but the two sports are

Carolina and I especially missed breathing North Carolina air,” she said. “The air in California is not like this. This air smells good.” Coaches at Surf City couldn’t speak to Perrine, but she received plenty of emails. Several coaches talked to her chaperone about her. She’s still open as far as her college choice. She’s not undecided about her favorite team. She’s addicted to West Rowan football. “I was gone for two of our football games, and I really hated that,” she said. “But I was getting updates every few minutes.”

starting to level out some for me,” Jones said. “I might be able to play either one in college.” Jones first got noticed in varsity football as a sophomore. He got into the 2008 3AA state championship game, didn’t look wide-eyed and caught two passes against an awesome Greensboro Dudley squad. Jones produced 27 catches for 380 yards and four TDs as a junior. The Wonders are still a run-first team, but Jones will boost his numbers this year. He has 20 catches for 414 yards. He’s made six TD

SALISBURY FROM 1B Kennedy shot an 80 in the regional tournament for the second consecutive season. Last year, that score was good enough for a secondplace tie in Statesville. She fired a 76 during a recent practice round in better weather at Skybrook and tied for third place Monday. “I didn’t want to shoot 80 when I came here,” Kennedy said, “but I’m kind of happy with it now.” Kennedy, who finished two shots behind medalist Andrea Robbins of Providence Grove,

receptions to go along with his two punt-return scores. “The biggest TD catch was probably in the Mount Pleasant game,” Jones said. Brown was clinging to a 14-13 lead in that one with 2:18 remaining when Jones pulled in a 29-yard pass from Campbell to provide breathing room. Besides frustrating foes, Jones has provided confusion for fans because Brown has two seniors with virtually the same name. Teven’s cousin, Tevin Jones, is a defensive back who intercepted a pass against Hickory Ridge. Tevin also was one of the blockers on the big punt return. This Friday is senior night at Memorial Stadium. Northwest Cabarrus, a heated rival Brown hasn’t lost to since 1976, will be on hand for the festivities. “A lot of people have been talking about an upset,” Jones said. “All I know is we’ll be ready to play.” This season became much more than just ballgames for Jones when senior linebacker DaJon Torrence was killed in a wreck three weeks ago. “I grew up with DaJon and his cousin (linebacker) Quin Gill, and we were close,” Jones said. “I used to wrestle around with DaJon before practice, and I think about him every day. The thing I would like to do more than anything is to win the state championship, so we can give a ring to DaJon’s mother.” Whether the ninth-ranked Wonders are strong enough to accomplish that noble mission remains to be seen. Brown’s chances will improve if teams kick the ball in Jones’ direction. “I don’t know if I’ll get another chance,” he said. “If I do, I’ll be ready.”

made the turn at 5 over and closed with a 39. Yatawara started on the back nine and three-putted for a double bogey on her opening hole. A triple bogey put her at 9 over through nine holes, and the rain delay arrived before she teed off at No. 1. Yatawara made back-toback birdies, including a 6-footer at No. 1, after returning to the course. She was 2 under through five holes on that side before completing it at 2 over. “My putting had been really bad on the front nine, and that was one of the major differences,” Yatawara said. “First hole I had a good putt, and it kind of fed the next

couple holes.” Lyerly also started on the back nine, and she made the turn at 8 over. By breaking 90, she enjoyed double-digit improvement from her performance at least year’s regional. “It’s the best I’ve ever done at regionals, so I’m excited even though I didn’t play my best,” Lyerly said. “It’s my last regional high school tournament, so I was just going to have fun.” It didn’t hurt that weather problems gave Lyerly time in the clubhouse to talk about Tebow, her favorite athlete. “When we don’t worry about golf,” Lyerly said, “we play our best, I think.”

Polymyalgia causes aches and pains Dear Dr. Gott: My doctor diagnosed me with polymyalgia. I have pain in the back of my head, shoulders and lower back that usually occurs at night and goes away when I get up in the morning. I’m 78 years old, in generally good health with no diabetes, heart or other problems. I go to physical therapy three times a week for my back problem and have traction treatment as well, which to be DR. PETER seems working. Is GOTT there any help for me? Dear Reader: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder that results in widespread muscle aches, pains and stiffness of the hips, shoulders, thighs, upper arms and neck, fatigue, anemia, malaise and unintentional weight loss. Symptoms experienced are the result of mild inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissue. Stiffness can worsen following periods of inactivity, such as after a night’s sleep or sitting for too long. The condition is thought to be related to an immune-system arthritic disorder that customarily goes away on its own in a year or two. Initially, over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) might control the side effects. Long-term use of NSAIDs can include intestinal bleeding, hypertension, renal insufficiency, fluid retention and more. Beyond that, medication such as corticos-

teroids and self-help measures can go a long way toward dealing with the discomfort. The downside to long-term steroid use is possible hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes, weight gain and cataracts. Self-help includes a nutritious diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, calcium and vitamin D. The latter two recommendations can be satisfied through supplements. The daily recommendation for calcium in people over 50 is 1,200 milligrams per day with 600 to 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D. Exercise, primarily low-impact movement such as swimming, riding a stationary bicycle or walking, will go a long way toward reducing the pain. Risk factors include age, race, gender and those diagnosed with giant cell arteritis. Older adults, primarily those 70 and older, are affected, and women are twice as likely as men to develop the disorder. No one is immune; however, Caucasians, Scandinavians and people from Northern Europe are most at risk. Finally, giant cell arteritis is a condition in which the temporal arteries and other areas of the body become swollen and inflamed. Almost 50 percent of all people diagnosed with giant cell arteritis are found to have polymyalgia, and up to 20 percent of those with polymyalgia develop giant cell arteritis. Diagnosis can be made through laboratory testing that may include a rheumatoid factor, sedimentation rate, Creactive protein, platelet and red-blood-cell counts. The only way to rule out giant cell ar-

teritis is through biopsy from the scalp artery at the temple. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Fibromyalgia” (a related topic) and “Managing Chronic Pain.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott:You recently wrote about liver spots. Two years ago, I used clear nail polish to get rid of my liver spots. I had two big ones on my face, and the nail polish worked like a charm. Dear Reader: Folk remedies include apple-cider vinegar combined with orange juice; castor oil; lemon juice; grated onion; and green (unripe) black walnuts. Then there are vitamins C and E and zinc. So what more can I say? If clear nail polish worked for you without side effects, it may have to be added to the list of possibilities. Before using home remedies, have a doctor examine the lesions to ensure that they are not cancerous. 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.

He has winners, so remove his entry BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Benjamin Disraeli was the British prime minister in 1868 and from 1874 to 1880. During a campaign speech in 1832 he said, “I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad.” When you are the declarer at the bridge table, you want to preserve all that is good— your winners — and remove all that is bad — an entry to an opponent’s hand when he is close to establishing and running his long suit.

With that generous hint, how would you try to make three no-trump? West leads the spade six: four, jack, queen. You start with five top tricks: two spades (given the first trick), two diamonds and one club. You can get two

heart and at least three club winners. It is sorely tempting to take the club finesse immediately. Here, though, that proves fatal. East wins with his king and returns the spade nine (the higher of two remaining cards). Whatever you do, you will go down one. If the club finesse is winning, it can wait. First, since West’s suit isn’t yet established, you should concentrate on removing his potential entry card — the heart ace. At trick two, lead a heart honor from your hand. If West ducks, you then take the club finesse and collect at least nine tricks: two spades, one heart, two diamonds and four clubs. If West wins with his ace and plays another spade, duck that trick, win the third spade, and run the club queen. You cannot go down unless East started with five spades.

Bosnian refugees get donation after Jolie’s visit ROGATICA, BosniaHerzegovina (AP) — A U.S. government donation will provide housing for the last 15 people living in a Bosnian refugee camp that movie stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt drew attention to by visiting. Radomir Jovicic, the mayor of the eastern Bosnian town of Rogatica, said Monday the nearly $500,000 donation will be used for the construction of an apartment building for the refugees who could move in by September. Jovicic said he had lobbied for donations for the refugees for years but the

Jolie and Pitt visit to the camp in April was the turning point leading to last week’s U.S. donation agreement. Jolie, a UNHC ambassador, has visited some of the projects of the agency, which helps the 117,000 refugees who were left homeless by fighting that ended in Bosnia 15 years ago. “I will tattoo her name here,” said camp resident Goran Markovic, 47, pointing to one of his arms. After the April visit, refugee camp residents called Jolie their “beauty.” But when they found out about the U.S. donation she became “our saint,” said Markovic.

Jolie’s name is not mentioned in the contract for the new apartment building in Rogatica, 30 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of Sarajevo, but the town’s officials and refugees are convinced her visit made the difference. “I simply cannot believe that there is no link between Angelina Jolie’s visit and this project,” said Jovicic. Two refugees — sisters Lena Babic, 78, and Mara Babic, 72 — fondly remember entertaining Jolie and Pitt on Easter Sunday when they visited them in their small room in the former school that serves as the refugee camp in Rogatica.
