1780 sword makes its way back to Salisbury aybe it was the day’s equivalent of a key to the city. As William R. Davie, the father of the University of North Carolina, recovered from Revolutionary War wounds and finished work toward his law degree, the citizens of Salisbury presented him with a sword.

The sword’s scabbard carries the inscription: “Col. William Richardson Davie, Salisbury 1780.” Exactly when in 1780 the presentation occurred, who was behind it and who made the sword are still a mystery, but

the sword has remained in the Davie family all these years. Bedford Davie, a descendant of William R. Davie’s, has agreed to loan the sword to Salisbury and Rowan County for the next year. It had been hanging in the dining room of his Chesapeake Bay, Va., home. Davie delivered the sword Sunday on his way to the Florida Keys. It will be available for its first public inspection Thursday evening at the Rowan Museum Inc.’s annual meeting. Over the next year, the sword is expected to be displayed at the museum, Rowan Public Library and the Historic Salisbury Foundation’s Hall House. “I believe it’s the most significant artifact of Salisbury history to come to light

PUTTING OUT THE PINK Thousands to get help from DSS for heating

ften seen as tough and rugged, local firefighters are thinking pink this week. Salisbury and Granite Quarry firefighters have traded in their standard-issue T-shirts for pink shirts that show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said the idea came when he realized about 40 percent of the people on a prayer list updated at weekly staff meetings have some type of cancer. “By joining other organizations across the nation and wearing pink, we are able to shine a light on breast cancer awareness while honoring cancer survivors, their families and friends.” Parnell said in a press release. Throughout October, city firefighters will take educational sessions to better understand breast cancer and other types of cancer. And Parnell noted the Fire Department is active on the city’s Relay for Life team and said the pink Tshirt campaign helps support that. “Our Salisbury firefighters are proud to don pink as we salute the courageous women and their families so affected by this disease,” he said. Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz expressed pride in the firefighters. “Sadly, cancer affects everyone. Each of us is aware of someone who has been affected by cancer and who has struggled with the diagnosis and treatment of this terrible disease,” she said. “Our firefighters make a very powerful statement as they proudly pay tribute to breast Jon c.

It’s not too late to make inquiries into a heating assistance program offer by the Rowan County Department of Social Services. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) provides a one-time payment to assist lowincome families or individuals. The application period for the program begins Nov. 1 and ends Nov. 12. People who need help paying their heating bills may apply at the Department of Social Services, 1813 E. Innes St. The Social Services board approved a report at its meeting Tuesday detailing the program and staff involved in accepting applications. Essentially, households that are actively receiving Food and Nutrition Services, formerly Food Stamps, benefits as of Sept. 30 and are certified through October or beyond are automatically screened for eligibility. Some 4,737 Food and Nutrition Services recipients were automatically approved for checks in February. The agency screened or denied 5,294. Not all households that receive Food and Nutrition Services will qualify. The state office sent no-

Planning board agrees to allow club to open BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
A proposed downtown nightclub has cleared its first hurdle, but not without difficulty. After two split votes and more than an hour of debate, the Salisbury Planning Board agreed Tuesday to allow Nashville Nights to open at 127 E. Innes St., pending a final nod from Salisbury City Council. But the Planning Board’s blessing came with a condition — a sunset clause. If City Council approves the nightclub Nov. 16, the property’s special use permit will expire one year from that date. Nashville Nights owner Karen Littleton would have to reapply for a new

permit to continue the operation. After five years of undesirable activity at various downtown bars, some planning board members said they did not want to approve another nightclub without recourse. “This has become a very closely looked at item, and rightly so in the downtown area,” Bill Wagoner said. After one year, if the Planning Board hears reports of police intervention, fights, beer bottle litter or broken windows — all problems in the past at downtown clubs — members can deny the reapplication. “Clearly we would say the health and safety of the public is no longer being assured,” said Vice Chairman Dick Huffman, Today’s forecast 81º/63º Chance of storms
who said he hopes the business is successful and wins approval. The sunset clause is not intended to harm businesses, member Ben Lynch said. The board is simply protecting the interests of downtown, he said. And it’s not punitive, added member Patricia Ricks. After the meeting, Littleton said she was happy with the decision and hopes to open around Jan. 1 if City Council gives final approval. Littleton said she is the mother of Todd Littleton, who owns Benchwarmers, a longtime downtown bar. She said the two bars will have no connection and will attract different groups of people.

Nashville Nights will feature top 40 country music, both from a jukebox and live bands, and will draw an older crowd, Karen Littleton said. Still, mother and son would compete each night, just a few blocks apart. “Do you know how hard it was to tell him we were opening a club?” she said. Todd Littleton has been gracious and supportive since she broke the news, Karen Littleton said. Nashville Nights almost didn’t survive the first Planning Board vote.

In every facet of the 2010 campaign fundraising and spending game, incumbent U.S. Reps. Howard Coble and Mel Watt hold an enormous advantage over their opponents. According to campaign finance reports filed through Oct. 13 with the Federal Election Commission, Coble and Watt have each raised close to $500,000 for the election, while their general election opponents barely have scraped together much more than their filing fees. Coble, a conservative Republican representing the 6th U.S. House District, has raised $479,777 this year, while spending a whopping $830,907 — thanks in large part to a contested primary in which he had five GOP challengers. In the general election, Coble is facing Democrat Gregory Scott “Sam” Turner of Salisbury, a United Airlines pilot. Turner has raised only $3,775 toward his campaign, which includes $2,600 of his own money. Turner reported $1,175 in individual contributions, but in late August, before the general election campaign even heated up, he returned a $1,000 contribution from Leigh Simmons Park of Austin, Texas. Turner has no contributions from political action committees, compared to $333,915 in PAC money for Coble. Coble also has raised $126,277 from individuals and still had $252,515 sitting in the bank as cash

The Social Services Board also: • Discussed guardianship of people with mental issues. Social Services Directors from Rowan, Davidson, Cabarrus, Stanly and Union counties met Oct. 13 with the head of the NC Division of Medical Assistance concerning a decision from PBH, formerly Piedmont Behavioral Health, that says they can no longer serve as guardian of people with mental health issues, citing conflict of interest reasons. If the decision is implemented DSS could be appointed to serve as guardian, although they lack mental health professionals on staff. The state Division of Medical Assistance chief agreed to meet with the five directors and the director of PBH to further discuss this issue. That meeting has yet
to be set. “PBH is sort of the gatekeeper of Medicaid money that goes to support these wards. PBH is recommending other mental health groups be guardians,” said Social Services Director Sandra Wilkes. It’s still a work in progress she said. • Briefly discussed the Oct. 14 community roundtable on Prescription Drug Abuse by Youth. There were 15 people who attended. The board wished there as more who could’ve attended, but thought it was very informative. The hope to hold at least one more forum that targets a specific group, perhaps the Parent Teachers Association or the One Church One Child program. • Reviewed plans for the foster children’s Christmas party, which will be at the DSS offices on Dec. 4.

The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) is a program offered through the Rowan County Department of Social Services and provides a one-time payment to assist low-income families or individuals with their heating costs. It’s not too late to find out if you’re eligible said Social Services Director Sandra Wilkes. People who need help paying their heating costs can apply at Social Services beginning Nov. 1 and ending Nov. 12 with applications being taken Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day except Thursday, Nov. 11 in observance of the Veteran’s Day Holiday. • Who may apply? Food and Nutrition Services, formerly Food Stamps, households that are actively receiving benefits as of Sept. 30 and that are certified through October or beyond, are automatically screened for eligibility. Not all Food and Nutrition Services households qualify for the program. The state office sent no-

tices to those houses earlier this month. Notices are mailed to the addresses found in the department’s database. If the address is not correct, the notice will be returned to the local DSS office. If eligible, the notice will say the household “appears to be eligible. If ineligible, the notice will say “your household was not pre-approved for LIEAP” and the person must go to the DSS office to apply. Other non-Food and Nutrition Services households and any Food and Nutrition Services households that do not receive an approval notice in the mail in October should stop by the DSS office to apply. The department is also considering a security officer or reserve law enforcement officer to provide on-site security. There are steps the agency has already taken to ensure the safety of clients and employees, including having a well-lit parking lot, all doors must be entered using a keycard that only employees have access to and employees are encouraged to leave at night with a buddy. The sheriff’s deputies who are at the office to pick up child support summons routinely walk through the building. Even with precautions, there are incidents that recently occurred that could have been difused had there been a security officer on site. Director Sandra Wilkes said one incident happened last Friday in which two

clients were involved in a verbal altercation in the lobby. One of the clients tried to walk away and the other chased after him. In another situation, police were called when a woman who was angry broke three doors on her way out of the building. She was charged in that incident. “Many clients are upset and angry because maybe their child has been removed from the home. People are out of work and their nerves are on edge,” Wilkes said. Board member Jim Sides asked about funding. “Is there any money or is this all new money that we have to come up with?” he asked. Sides suggested a reserve officer with the sheriff’s office. The issue is the department could contract a security officer or reserve officer, but it has been told by the Department of Labor contract work is meant to be temporary. It would also look as if the agency were trying to get out of paying benefits for a permanent officer. “I think just someone in uniform would deter problems,” said board member Carl Ford. Sides recommended getting someone temporarily to patrol the building and be available if incidents occur and then explore the option of a full-time person later. The board agreed to look into getting someone for now and revisit someone permament in the future. The board’s next meeting is Nov. 23, 5:30 p.m. at 1813 E. Innes St.

Shortly before 2:20 Tuesday morning, 24-yearold Jonathan Yarborough received quite a wakeup call — a gunshot wound to his chest, while he was sitting alone in his room. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Yarborough was sitting in his bedroom when he heard several gunshots outside. One of the bullets made its way through the exterior wall of his home at 660 Sides Road, and grazed his chest. Family members who were sleeping at the time of the incident told authorities they didn’t hear or see anything. Yarborough called 911 and EMS transported him to Rowan Regional Medical Center. He was released a few hours later. As deputies investigated, they found six to eight bullet holes on the outside of the home that looked like they were fresh, Cpt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said. Sifford said an investigation into the shooting is continuing.
Seventh-day Adventist School looking to reopen BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
The Salisbury Seventh-day Adventist School is looking for ways to reopen its doors. The 70-year-old school shut down in May after efforts to raise $42,000 to repay a debt to its conference fell short. The school borrowed money from the Carolina Conference of Seventh-day Adventists several years ago, but dwindling enrollment left the school with just enough money to cover expenditures with little extra to place toward the loan. About eight students attended the school, which includes first through eighth grades, last year. An official with the Carolina Conference said the decision to shut down, expected to be temporary, was made by the Salisbury Seventh-day Adventist Church’s board. Michelle Bullen, who was running to the school as head teacher, has been reassigned to another teaching position within the conference. John Klaver, a member of Salisbury Seventhday Adventist Church, attended the school and would like to see it reopen next year. He said the church hosted a yard sale Saturday and will be selling citrus fruit and vidalia onions to raise money in the future. “Other than that, we don’t have any direct plans for fundraisers. There has been a lot of talk about different things we can do,” he said. “What we’re doing at this point is working toward getting the funds to pay down the debt.” Klaver said the church has taken on the responsibility of paying off the debt and determining when to reopen. “At this point, we really haven’t talked about a timeline for reopening,” he said. The church plans to discuss a plan for reopening the school during a board meeting Nov. 9. The church and school are located at 305 Rudolph Road.

Marking a candidate for Superior Court judge two or three times instead of one will not help that candidate win, a state elections official says. In two instant runoff elections this year, voters are asked to choose up to three candidates and rank them in order of preference. Voters’ second and third choices in these elections will not count against their first, said Johnnie McLean, deputy director of the N.C. State Board of Elections. “If you vote for the same candidate three times, your vote will only be counted once,” McLean said. “The other part of that is you do not have to make three choices.” BICKETT The ballot instructs voters to select a different candidate for each choice. It also states that second and third choices “will only be considered in a runoff if your BINGHAM first choice is not in the runoff.” Voters who want to show support for only one or two candidates have the option to select just one or two.

The one ranked the highest will receive your vote.” If none of a person’s choices are in the runoff, that person’s vote is not counted in the runoff election.
McLean said it may be hard to tell the winners of these races until official canvassing is completed Nov. 12 and the runoff can be tallied. “The result will not be immediately or instantly known,” she said, especially in the 13-candidate Court of Appeals race.

This Friday, local residents can learn about a program that helps low-income families save money lost through leaky attics, floors and ducts. Representatives from the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency will be available to talk about the Weatherization Assistance Program from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the Lowe’s parking lot, 207 Faith Road in Salisbury. The program, funded by the federal government through the North Carolina Department of Commerce, is designed to help Rowan County residents who meet the federal low-income guidelines save energy and reduce expenses. Randall Dean, weatherization lead carpenter with the Community Action Agency, said people can apply for the program Friday or pick up a brochure of things they can do
to conserve energy in the home. “We’re going to show some of equipment and materials we use and how we use them to weatherize ahome,” Dean said. “It’s a little bit of a demonstration.” He said the agency works to seal and insulate homes, focusing on attics, floors, the tops of walls, the seal around chimneys, plumbing, piping and electrical wiring. Leaky ductwork is one of the most common energy-wasting problems, Dean said. Households with income at or below 150 percent of the poverty level also qualify for the Heating and Air Repair and Replacement Program, under which the agency will replace household appliances with more energy efficient ones. “We meter refrigerators people have,” Dean said. “I replaced one not long ago that was using close to 2,000 kilo-
watt hours a year, and I put one in that used 400 kilowatt hours a year.” That energy savings also translates to a cost savings of about $170, and families whose houses are weatherized could save $500 per year, he said. “Doing this work for folks saves them money, gives them the opportunity to spend it on more important things and reduces the load on the power grid,” Dean said. Before 2009, Dean said, the Community Action Agency typically weatherized 40 to 50 homes per year. Since the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and more funding, he said, that number has risen to more than 100. “We get lots of applicants, but we’re always willing to take on more,” Dean said. He said some participants in the program are referred by Rowan Helping Ministries and the county’s Department of So-
cial Services, while others hear about it through word-ofmouth. To qualify for the Weatherization Assistance Program, a family of two would need to make $21,660 or less per year, or 200 percent of the poverty threshold. For a family of four, the limit is $44,100. Families who don’t qualify for the program still can save money by doing some work themselves. Dean recommended using compact flourescent light bulbs instead of traditional incandescent bulbs, lowflow showerheads and Energy Star certified appliances. He also suggested turning the water heater down. Dean said windows and doors in most houses “aren’t as bad as people think,” and leaks around the edges can be sealed with a weather strip, caulk or foam.

BLOTTER design on the left side, Wreck sends four white black pants, a black cap and black bandana over his face, teens to hospital broke the door to AT&T, 247 BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Four teenagers driving around Rowan County Monday night for a Young Life event were sent to Rowan Regional Medical Center after the vehicle they were in overturned on White Road. According to N.C. Trooper B. Potts, the driver, 16year-old Brittan Rebecca Hendrickson, of Salisbury, was traveling south on White Road with three passengers, when she traveled off the road, overcorrected, traveling across both lanes and overturning in a ditch line. Potts said the vehicle, a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox, flipped completely over, ultimately landing on its four tires facing north on the northbound shoulder of White Road. The vehicle was totaled, and the teens suffered minor injuries. The three passengers were wearing their seatbelts; the driver, Hendrickson, was not. Both 15-year-old passengers were taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center via Rowan County EMS, and Hendrickson and another passenger, 16-year-old Mac Flanagan, were driven by a personal vehicle to the hospital. Potts said the injuries were not life-threatening, and the teenagers were talking to him when he arrived on the scene. Hendrickson was charged with a lane control violation, failure to wear her seatbelt and a license restriction. Potts said Hendrickson’s license allows her to have only one passenger with her at all times when driving. Hendrickson had two too many. A call to Rowan County’s chapter of Young Life was not returned.
Police investigate AT&T robbery The Salisbury Police Department is looking for a man who broke into AT&T Monday morning and took seven phones. According to police, the suspect, a white male wearing a black jacket with a

Faith Road, with a hammer and then reached inside and unlocked the door, taking off with $3,000 worth of phones. Police were reviewing a surveillance tape Monday. The tape indicated the suspect was standing around outside the business for a few minutes before he broke the glass door. The suspect was wearing gloves, and police say little evidence (other than the surveillance tape) was found inside the business and around the building. Each phone taken has a serial number, which police have already entered as stolen into the National Crime Information Center. The burglary happened between 1:30 and 1:47 Monday morning. Police say the suspect was in the store for only a minute. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.
Pumpkin tossed from bridge, smashes windshield A pumpkin landed on the windshield of a tractor-trailer truck traveling north on I85 early Sunday morning, causing damage to the windshield and luckily no injuries to the driver. According to a report from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, authorities believe someone threw the pumpkin off of the Daughtery Road or Old Beatty Ford Road bridge around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The pumpkin hit the windshield of a 2007 Peterbilt tractor-trailer, driven by John Harris of Rock N Transport LLC, causing $500 in damages. Harris was struck by some of the broken glass, but not injured. Officers searched Daughtery and Old Beatty Ford roads, but were unable to locate anyone. The pumpkin toss is still under investigation. Cpt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said pumpkins are thrown from bridges from time to time, and damages depend on the size of the pumpkin and speed the vehicle is traveling.

Man indicted in death of police chief’s daughter CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Mecklenburg County grand jury has indicted a man for murder in the death of a police chief’s daughter. Michael Neal Harvey is accused of killing 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton, who is the daughter of Concord Police Chief Merl Hamilton. The Charlotte Observer reports that Harvey was also indicted for larceny of a motor vehicle. The 34-year-old Harvey has said he is innocent and that Hamilton overdosed in her sleep. The indictment was handed down on Monday. Police said Valerie Hamilton was seen leaving a tavern with Harvey on Sept. 15, shortly before she was reported missing. Hamilton was found dead in a storage unit Sept. 18.
Officials, bankers unveil highway welcome signs RALEIGH (AP) — New signs going up on the major highways entering eastern North Carolina are welcoming drivers to the region’s rich military heritage. New highway welcome signs unveiled Tuesday at the North Carolina National Guard headquarters in Raleigh tell motorists they’re arriving in the country’s most military-friendly state. The North Carolina Bankers Association paid for the signs, which the state Transportation Department is installing at the north and
south borders of North Carolina on Interstate 95, Interstate 85, and U.S. Highway 17. Eastern North Carolina’s installations include Camp Lejeune and two other Marine Corps bases, the Army’s Fort Bragg, Seymour Johnson and Pope Air Force Bases, and several Coast Guard stations.
State sets phone number for sterilization victims RALEIGH (AP) — Government officials in North Carolina want to hear from people who say they were sterilized through a state program that ended almost 40 years ago. A state agency announced Tuesday a toll-free number for callers to provide information and confirm the identification of someone who was sterilized under the authority of the North Carolina Eugenics Board. More than 7,600 people were sterilized by choice or coercion under the program between 1933 and 1973. Gov. Beverly Perdue created a foundation designed to determine how to compensate victims. But there’s no money set aside right now for that assistance. The N.C. Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation said verification doesn’t guarantee the person will receive compensation. The toll free number is 1877-550-6013 and will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Verification forms also are available online at www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov.
Rowan County Democrats to meet Thursday The Rowan County Democrats will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Rowan County administration building, 130 W. Innes St. in Salisbury. Former U.S. Senate candi-

North Carolina GOP sees fundraising surge in final months ter quarter, raising $3.7 million and spending about $300,000 more than Republicans. Since early 2009, the Democrats are still winning overall at the campaign coffers by raising $5.7 million, compared to $4.4 million by the state GOP, reports show. Money is also being used to promote congressional and judicial candidates. “These (numbers) show Democratic strength. We raised more and we held our own,” state Democratic Party Executive Director Andrew Whalen said. “We are very comfortable where we are going into the final week before the elections.” Democrats hold a 68-52 margin in the House and 3020 advantage in the Senate over Republicans, so the GOP would need nine extra seats in the House and six in the Senate to lead both chambers for the first time since 1898. Republicans controlled the House for four years in the 1990s. In recent election cycles, Democrats and legislative candidates have held a 3-to-1 fundraising advantage or higher. But the GOP has benefited from political winds that appear to favor Republi-

risville Town Council member and pharmacist Tom Murry. Democrats won the swing district in 2006. • District 81: House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman faces Republican Rayne Brown for a Davidson County seat in a swing district. Holliman, in his fifth term, has been hit with ads or mailers produced by an arm of a union representing North Carolina state employees and a political group funded with money from Republican and conservative ads. A GOP-paid mailer criticizing him for his support of a death penalty reform bill angered Democrats because Holliman’s daughter was murdered 25 years ago and he watched the execution of his daughter’s killer in 1998. • District 103: The Democrats’ best chance to flip a seat to their side may be in the Mecklenburg County district vacated by the retiring Rep. Jim Gulley. Registered nurse Ann Newman is president of the Mecklenburg County women’s group. She’s facing Republican Bill Brawley, a former Matthews town council member. Republicans are seeking to flip open seats currently held by Democratic Reps. Russell Tucker of Duplin County and Rep. Bob England of Rutherford County.
RALEIGH (AP) — A look at five key races in the North Carolina House and Senate, based on interviews with legislative leaders and political analysts: House • District 3: Rep. Alice Underhill, D-Craven, has been a biennial target of Republicans in the GOP-leaning district. This year, she faces small business owner Norman Sanderson in a rematch of a 2008 race in which she won by less than 800 votes in a three-candidate race. Libertarian Herb Sobel is also back in the race. Underhill is the daughter of the late Jim Graham, the longtime state Agriculture Commissioner. • District 10: It’s a rematch of the 2008 race between Democrat Van Braxton and Republican Stephen LaRoque, won by Braxton by about 1,000 votes. LaRoque was in the House from 2003 through 2006. Braxton is one of the most conservative Democrats in the House, representing Greene and parts of Lenoir and Wayne counties. • District 41: Republicans hope to pick up a seat in western Wake County by beating Democratic Rep. Chris Heagarty, who was appointed last year to replace Rep. Ty Harrell. Harrell resigned as campaign finance problems surfaced. Hegarty’s opponent is Mor-
cans nationally. The Democratic Party raised about $2 million less in the third quarter compared to two years ago. Republican challengers also have benefited from nearly $1.4 million in spending this year by Real Jobs NC, an independent group backed by donors with GOP ties but is prohibited from coordinating with the state party or candidates, according to finance reports. It’s targeted nearly 20 House and Senate Democratic incumbents with ads criticizing their votes on the state budget and raising taxes. The Republican State Leadership Committee, a national group working to elect GOP candidates at the state level, has given $1.15 million to Real Jobs NC, campaign reports show. The RSLC gets its donations from corporations and individuals. Real Jobs NC has made a large investment during a year that will determine which party will get to draw legislative districts for the next 10 years, “They’re definitely trying to effectively buy an election, and buy several of them,” said Bob Hall with Democracy North Carolina, a critic of cor-
porate money in politics. “It’s a huge amount of money to sink into state legislative district races.” RSLC Executive Director Chris Jankowski defended the group’s work with Real Jobs NC and said it spends money from 80,000 individual donors besides corporate dollars. The RSLC wants to spend $18 million nationwide to try to elect Republican majorities in states nationwide, he said. “We’ve worked very hard to comply with the (campaign) rules as they exist,” Real Jobs NC attorney Roger Knight said. Variety Stores Inc., owned by the family of Raleigh businessman and conservative activist Art Pope, has given at least $390,000 to Real Jobs NC and Civitas Action, which also has sent out political mailers critical of Democrats. Real Facts NC, conceived to counter advertising by Real Jobs NC, has received $239,000, nearly all of which came from the North Carolina Association of Educators, according to its report. It’s spent money in eight legislative districts. Among candidates, GOP legislative leaders have sent
Legislature, a familiar name entered the race: former House budget chairman David Redwine of Brunswick County. But he’s been out of the General Assembly for eight years and he’s facing veterinarian Bill Rabon in a district that’s become increasingly Republican as outof-staters have moved in to the area. • District 9: While the seats of the retiring Sens. David Hoyle of Gaston County and Juila Boseman of New Hanover County are threatening to turn to the Republicans, the district held by departing Sen. Charlie Albertson, D-Duplin, also is competitive. Longtime local District Attorney Dewey Hudson, a Democrat, faces Republican Brent Jackson, a farming company president. • District 11: Sen. A.B. Swindell, D-Nash, represents a district that has been reliably Democratic for at least 20 years. But he’s faced a tough fight against attorney Buck Newton, chairman of the Wilson County Republican Party. Newton sued Swindell and the state Democratic Party for a campaign mailer that focused on drug charges filed against Newton while a college student. Newton said the charges were dismissed because it was a case of mistaken identity. Senate • District 28: A Democrat to • District 8: When Demo- succeed retiring Sen. Katie cratic Sen. R.C. Soles decided Dorsett of Guilford County to retire after 42 years in the seemed assured. But independ-
ent candidate and Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis entered the race after Dorsett decided on the final day of candidate filing to withdraw so Gladys Robinson could run. The rift threatens to split the Democratic vote and give the seat to Republican Trudy Wade in what would be a surprising upset. • District 45: While three mountain districts are being fought tooth and nail by both parties, the most intriguing of the three may be the race in the 45th District, represented by Baptist minister and former football coach Steve Goss. He surprised politicos in Ashe, Alexander, Watauga and Wilkes counties four years ago with a victory over the favored Republican. Dan Soucek, a logistics officer for the Samaritan’s Purse relief organization in Boone, is his latest challenger.
their campaign money to the state party. By funneling money there, the senators can avoid a $4,000 donation limit to an individual candidate and funds can go to candidates that need the most help. Campaigns for seven Senate Republican incumbents have sent more than $1.7 million to the state Republican Party, according to third quarter reports and other required filings to make public 11th-hour donations before Election Day. They’re led by Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, at $486,000. Berger’s amount is less than the $855,000 than what the campaign Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, has given to the Democratic Par-
ty. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, has sent at least $630,000 to his party, outpacing the overall fundraising of House Minority Leader Paul Stam, RWake. The Republican Party report shows its paid Virginiabased American Media & Advocacy Group $265,000 for campaign materials on behalf of Ralph Hise, who is challenging Sen. Joe Sam Queen, D-Haywood, and $211,000 for Rick Gunn, who is trying to defeat Sen. Tony Foriest, DAlamance. Foriest’s campaign has received at least $315,000 from the state Democratic Party to help defend his district, a filing said.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republicans are benefiting from a fundraising surge in the fall campaign that, combined with big money from an outside group, threatens the Democrats’ almost continuous control of the Legislature for more than a century. The state Republican Party raised $3.3 million between July 1 and mid-October, according to its campaign finance report filed at Monday’s deadline. The GOP raised $1.5 million during the same period two years ago, when Democrats won North Carolina’s electoral votes for the first time in 32 years with President Barack Obama. Extra GOP funds are paying for campaign mailers and TV ads in key legislative districts. “We just worked hard and the Republican base, the Republican donors, feeling the magnitude of the importance this year, generously gave and are still giving,” state GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer said Tuesday. “That’s good news for our Republican candidates who many times have had to go into battle dramatically underfunded.” The state Democratic Party still reported a slightly bet-

Referendum seeks to bar GOP, Dems both show strength in North Carolina early voting felons from being sheriff RALEIGH (AP) — Most North Carolina voters would probably prefer not to have a proven lawbreaker as their sheriff, but state law doesn’t bar a convicted felon from being elected as a county’s top law enforcement officer. So county sheriffs successfully pushed the General Assembly last summer to call for a referendum to change the state constitution. If a statewide majority votes yes on Nov. 2, the amended constitution will bar anyone convicted of a felony from running for or serving as sheriff. “The whole purpose is to maintain the integrity of the high office of sheriff,” Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page, president of the North Carolina Sheriffs Association, said Monday. “We should be held to the highest standard.” Legislative interest in the constitutional amendment grew after six known felons ran for sheriff during the May 4 primary election, including ex-Washington County Sheriff Stanley James and former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege. None of the six won. The constitution, which hasn’t been amended since 2004, has few restrictions on people running for elected office. There are minimum ages to serve as governor or state legislator. Current law allows a convicted felon to be elected sheriff or to another elected office once the felon’s rights of citizenship are restored after completing a prison sentence, probation or parole. The rights are restored automatically. However, sheriffs argue it makes little sense for felons be allowed to run for or serve as sheriff when the association’s standards already bar convicted felons from serving as deputy sheriffs. Sheriffs with a felony record could be prevented

from carrying a gun, such as during an active manhunt for an armed gunman. Sheriffs also are charged with preserving evidence from investigations. The North Carolina Libertarian Party has offered the only organized opposition to the amendment. Party leaders released a statement in October arguing felons who have completed their punishment shouldn’t see their rights restricted further. Many people who make mistakes while young become responsible adults, and the number of crimes deemed felonies has increased markedly in recent years. The question is a slap in the face to voters who can make their own decision about whether an ex-criminal is now qualified to become a sheriff, the party said in urging voters to vote no.
The proposal “is yet another unnecessary, unwarranted, and immoral restriction on the voting rights of the people of North Carolina,” the party said. Although all six ex-felons lost in May, James received 41 percent of the vote in his county. The sheriffs’ association isn’t aware of felon being elected sheriff in North Carolina history, but the candidacies threatened to damage the importance of an office that goes back hundreds of years, Cumberland County Sheriff Moose Butler said. “The sheriffs felt it was a reflection on the office of sheriff and reflected on all of us,” Butler said. Page said the association hasn’t made a formal effort urging voters to vote yes on the referendum beyond local sheriffs expressing their support back home.
RALEIGH (AP) — Sarah Palin and a group backed by Republican strategist Karl Rove moved Tuesday to influence North Carolina’s congressional races with a late endorsement and blitz of advertising. But with a week left before Election Day, more than 450,000 voters in the state have already cast their votes. Both parties are showing signs of strength in North Carolina’s early voting: Registered Democrats are leading the way at the polls, representing 45 percent of all votes through Monday. Republicans have comprised 38 percent of the early voters even though they make up only 32 percent of overall voter registrations. Andrew Whalen, the executive director of the Democratic Party, argued that numbers are continuing to improve for Democrats. After the first day of early voting, Democrats comprised 42 percent of all ballots compared to 41 percent for Republicans. “We’ve maintained our
leads, and we’re now expanding our leads,” Whalen said. “We’re going to continue to see the percentage of Democrats increase.” The heaviest voting has been in the 11th District, covering the western part of the state. In that area, Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler has been facing a tough and increasingly costly challenge from Republican businessman Jeff Miller. A group backed by Rove, a GOP strategy guru, increased pressure Tuesday on Shuler by announcing a $240,000 ad blitz. The advertisement accuses the Democratic lawmaker of supporting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s agenda, a message that Shuler has worked hard to discredit. Another area with heavy balloting is in the 7th District in southeastern North Carolina. In that district, Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre has faced a tough challenge from military veteran Ilario Pantano, who received an endorsement from Palin on

RALEIGH (AP) — Four dozen political committees have been fined a combined $41,600 for failing to report immediately campaign contributions received in the two weeks before the May primary. The State Board of Elections contacted candidates and political action committees last week informing them of the penalties and how to appeal. Deputy elections director Kim Strach said Tuesday the committees didn’t report donations of at least $1,000 within 48 hours of receiving them. The donations did get reported later.
Tuesday. North Carolina GOP spokesman Jordan Shaw sees trends in his party’s favor, with turnout surpassing its share of voter registration. He said the party has also targeted conservatives who haven’t officially declared themselves Republicans. “We will get some Democratic votes,” he said. Both parties have been emphasizing early voting to their supporters, two years after President Barack Obama’s campaign pushed the idea and led to some 2.5 million votes before Election Day. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elaine Marshall was set to cast her ballot early on Tuesday in Lillington, and she planned to tout the benefits of doing so. The election includes a U.S. Senate race at the top of the ballot along with the state’s 13 congressional seats. Voting will also decide the balance of power in the state’s General Assembly. Early voting ends Saturday.

SWORD FROM 1a light in years,” says Susan Goodman Sides, whose sleuthing through history led her to Bedford Davie. William R. Davie is one of the more important figures in Rowan County and N.C. history, though in Salisbury more attention is usually given to Andrew Jackson. Both Jackson, who became the country’s seventh president, and Davie studied law under Spruce Macay (pronounced McCoy) in Salisbury, though Davie’s tutelage came earlier than Jackson’s. Davie, born and buried near Lancaster, S.C., also was a great friend of Salisbury’s John Steele, a fellow Federalist and first comptroller of the United States. Besides being recognized for his gallantry with a calvary troop in the Revolutionary War, Davie was one of the framers of the U.S. Constitution in 1789, governor of North Carolina from 1798-99 and U.S. minister to France in 1800. The case which carries the sword also holds the seal which Davie often wore — the seal connected to the Treaty of 1800 with France when Napoleon Bonaparte was first consul. The seal will be displayed with the sword. Sides says Davie is considered founder of the University of North Carolina because he chose the Chapel Hill site for the school, its first curriculum and its first teachers. After tracking down an e-mail address for Bedford Davie, Sides wrote and asked him whether what she had heard was true: Was there a sword given to William R. Davie by the citizens of Salisbury? “He said, ‘It’s hanging in my dining room,’ ” Sides recalls. “It gave me chills.” She soon was asking whether she could travel to his White Stone, Va., home to see it for herself. Bedford Davie agreed. “I got tears,” Sides says on seeing it for the first time. “I was just overcome.” Bedford’s grandfather, Preston Davie, had placed the sword under glass and in a wood-framed case decades ago. A plaque with the case says the sword
RACE FROM 1a on hand as of Oct. 13. Seventy percent of the money Coble has raised for this election comes from PACs. Watt, a Democrat first elected to the 12th District U.S. House seat in 1992, also is flush with money. For this election, he has raised $518,051, while spending $399,495. As of Oct. 13, he had $212,583 cash on hand. Roughly 78 percent of Watt’s campaign funding — $402,750 — comes from PACs. An additional $114,049 has come from individual contributions. Oddly, Watt’s Republican opponent Greg Dority of Washington, N.C., has not reported spending or raising any money for either the GOP primary or the general election. Libertarian Lon Cecil, an unemployed electronics engineer from High Point, reports raising $10,382 and spending $6,031. He has financed the bulk of his campaign by himself, loaning his

Ed Clement, left, chats inside the John Steele House with Susan Sides and Bedford Davie, a descendant of William R. Davie, who was a friend of Steele during the country’s infancy. was given to Davie by Salisburians “during his convalescence from wounds received in the battle of Stono.” During his lifetime, Preston Davie became one of the most renowned collectors of Americana, and he donated many of the artifacts and original letters related to William R. Davie to the University of North Carolina. In addition, the Preston Davie Colection of Early Americana was given to UNC. But William R. Davie’s last will and testament made clear that certain things should remain in the family. “I give my arms and military accoutrements to my son Frederick William, and in case of his death without a son, then to Allen Jones Davie,” the will said. “Let them never forget that those arms were honorably employed in establishing the liberties of their country, and I request that they may be preserved in the family forever.” After seeing the sword, Sides began pleading her case for its possibly coming back to Salisbury so others could see it. Bedford Davie’s “official” loaning of the artifact took place Sunday at the John Steele House in Salisbury. The sword is fully insured. William R. Davie is buried at the old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church’s cemetery in South Carolina. Sides and Bedford Davie traveled to the cemetery late Sunday afternoon after Davie’s stop in Salisbury. During his Salisbury stop, Davie met preservationist Ed Clement, who restored the John Steele House years ago. Also on hand was Dr. John Robert Crawford III, whose ancestors had close ties to the Davie and Jackson clans. Many letters were exchanged through the years between Steele and Davie, who also visited the Salisbury plantation home. “(Your house) is the most decent chateau in the neighborhood, ornamented too with no little taste, enough I am afraid to mark
you soon as an aristocrat,” Davie wrote kiddingly to Steele in August 1801. Clement says Steele and Davie were strong Federalists, the party of Washington and Hamilton. At one time, their friendship was tested, Clement says, when Davie failed to appoint Samuel McCorkle of Rowan County as the first president of the University of North Carolina. Bedford Davie says he has owned the sword since 1985, when he inherited it from an aunt, who had inherited it from Preston Davie. He has resisted trying to clean it, fearful of damaging the artifact, and he had to have a key made so its display box could be opened. Because it has hung in his dining room, “When I hold forth at dinner conversations, I feel very important,” Davie says. “... It’s a great piece for Salisbury, I have to say.” Bedford Davie said he’s sure the sword hung on a wall at his grandfather’s home in New York City alongside a portrait of William R. Davie, who lived from 1756 to 1820. “He gave away tons of things,” Bedford says of his grandfather. “Things that trickled down to us were things with a guilt trip.” Preston Davie was a Harvard lawyer whose first marriage was to the daughter of E.T. Bedford, a director for Standard Oil. Bedford Davie, 53, is an “independent investment management professional” who also has a home in Colorado. He grew up in Tuxedo Park, N.Y., went to a Massachusetts boarding school and, when he applied to UNC-Chapel Hill — the school his ancestor founded — was denied admission. He went to Vanderbilt instead. Davie and Sides have inspected the sword closely and cannot find any markings that would identify the maker. “I would love to find out who the sword maker was,” Davie says. Sides says Salisbury had three silversmiths from the day, including Hugh Horah, David Woodson and
campaign $6,400. Cecil has received no PAC money and lists $3,984 in other contributions, some of which represent “in-kind” contributions from himself for things such as bumper stickers, brochures and a voter information CD. The individual and PAC contributors to both Coble and Watt sound like a Who’s Who of businessmen and corporations. Itemized reports show Watt’s campaign receiving a total of $21,800 from 19 different employees of Promontory Financial Group. Based in Washington, D.C., Promontory Financial Group markets itself as “the premier consulting firm for global financial services companies.” Among its services, the company assists clients in obtaining bank charters; prepares them for regulatory examinations and responses to enforcement actions; does studies on behalf of industry trade associations regarding market trends and legislative initiatives; and provides strategic advice regarding emerging financial and regulatory issues. Watt is a member of the
House Financial Services Committee. PACs contributing to Watt include banks, mortgage insurance companies, credit unions, investment companies, credit card companies, financial advisers and the like, not to mention employee PACs connected to companies such as Lockheed Martin, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner, Anheuser-Busch and Federal Express. Coble’s PAC contributors also run the gamut, from Duke Energy and CSX Transportation to Boeing, GlaxoSmithKlein and Honeywell International. Some 192 different PAC contributions are listed for Coble; for Watt, 155. Major individual contributors to Coble include Roger Milliken, chief executive officer of Milliken & Co.; Allen Gant, an executive with Glenn-Raven Mills; William Crisp of American Growler Inc.; the recording industry’s Mitch Glazier; Mark Craig, an executive with R.H. Barringer Distributors; and D.M. Faircloth, a senior adviser with Akin, Gump. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.
James Townsley. “But I can’t even say whether it was made here,” she says. Sides says William R. Davie’s historical imprint on North Carolina cannot be denied. After graduating from the College of New Jersey (today’s Princeton University), Davie came here to study law, before serving with the American forces in the Revolutionary War. While recovering in Salisbury from his injuries, he finished his law degree and apparently returned to war duties, Sides says. In a story appearing in the Greensboro Daily News in 1937, Salisbury’s Archibald Henderson had this to say about William R. Davie: “Take him all in all, William Richardson Davie was probably the most cultured, distinguished and versatile man whom North Carolina can claim as her own. “He was not born in North Carolina, nor did he live in North Carolina. But his entire public life was devoted to her service. And had he been asked the question, he would un-

BOARD FROM 1a to decide if the club presented a health or safety hazard and whether the bar would negatively impact surrounding property values. Three members voted against the club — Karen Alexander, Will Hasselmann and Lynch. Five members voted for it — Tommy Hairston, Carl Repsher, Huffman, Wagoner and Chairman Robert Cockerl. Confusion ensued when members Dr. Herman Felton and Ricks abstained from voting. It wasn’t immediately clear if these rare abstentions counted as yes or no votes. After consulting with the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments by phone during a recess, City Planner Preston Mitchell said the abstentions were null votes because Planning Board members are appointed, not elected. Debate moved on to the special use permit. Ricks first suggested the board consider reviewing the permit in one year. Wagoner supported the idea and took it further, proposing to kill the permit in one year and forcing the business owner to reapply. “We are dealing with multiple examples of previous clubs in the last five years,� Wagoner said. Club Liqwid, formerly known as Club Zidis on South Main Street, closed in July after police were repeatedly called to the bar for unruly crowds, fights and even gunshots. In June, two men were shot to death on East Innes Street two hours after a dispute over a pool table in Benchwarmers, according to police.
The sunset clause satisfied all but one board member. The special use permit passed 9-1, with Hasselmann voting no. During the discussion, Littleton said she must by law allow people under 21 but older than 17 to enter if they will serve as designated drivers. Patrons under 21 will be marked and will not be allowed to drink, she said. “We can’t turn away designated drivers,� she said. The club will provide “limited security (staff capable of diffusing problems) every night after 9 p.m. and additional security on Friday and Saturdays after 9 p.m., either paid off-duty
police or paid private security,� according to the club’s policy. The club will open every day at 10 a.m. and close at 2 a.m. Littleton said she is considering closing on Sundays but “we hope this business will do fine, and we will need to be open every day.� Downtown business owner Karen Boyer commended Littleton for applying for the correct permit. Several downtown restaurants are operating illegally as nightclubs, Boyer said, with music, dancing and drinking spilling onto the sidewalks and streets.

figure out how to persuade voters who don’t like them best to choose them as a second or third choice. “I’ve talked to people who profess to be experts. They have differing views about strategies that ought to be employed,â€? Thigpen said after a candidate forum in Cary. “So the only thing I think that I can do is just work extremely hard.â€? The race for Brady’s seat on the state’s highest court is between two Court of Appeals judges in Jackson and Hunter. Jackson, a registered Republican elected to the 15-judge intermediate appeals court in 2004, used to work for Gov. Jim Martin and current Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry. She’s been on the campaign trail with U.S. Sen. Richard Burr. Hunter, a registered Democrat who’s heard 3,600 appellate cases since joining the Court of Appeals in 1998, is a former state House member who ran unsuccessfully for the Supreme Court in 2002. He highlights endorsements from three former chief justices and Gov. Jim Hunt. In other Court of Appeals races: • Judge Ann Marie Calabria of Morrisville is seeking a second eight-year term on the court but is being challenged by Wake County District Court Judge Jane Gray. • Judge Rick Elmore is also seeking re-election against Steven Walker, who has been the law clerk for Brady. • Judge Martha Geer wants another term but is being challenged by Dean Poorer, an appeals referee with the state Employment Security Commission. • Judge Sanford Steelman is unopposed for a second term on the court.

n’t have any idea what this seat’s about and who’s running so it has the opportunity to be a serious indictment of the system,� said former Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sidney Eagles, adding it could revive debate about whether judges should be appointed, not elected. The Legislature decided four years ago to use instant runoff voting when an incumbent such as Wynn resigns close to Election Day. It was in response to a 2004 Supreme Court race in which Paul Newby defeated seven other candidates with only 23 percent of the vote. Instant runoff voting has been used in several cities nationwide, including Cary and Hendersonville. The process is called “instant� because it avoids the need for expensive separate runoffs later that usually have ultra-low turnout in other states. Here’s how instant runoff voting works: The voters rank their top three candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of the first-choice votes, election officials turn to the ballots of voters whose first-choice candidate was eliminated and count how many of them made one of the two top votegetters their next highest choice. Those choices are added to the original counts of the two leaders. The candidate with the most combined votes is the winner. One of the 13 candidates is Judge Cressie Thigpen, whom Gov. Beverly Perdue appointed to fill out Wynn’s term through the end of the year. Thigpen, a former special Superior Court judge, said he doesn’t believe being the “incumbent� gives him any significant advantage among voters. The candidates are trying to

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina voters will use socalled instant runoff voting for the first time in a statewide election next week as they choose a Court of Appeals judge. They’ll be asked to rank their three favorites out of 13 candidates seeking an ď Ž Ballot for eight-year instant runoff term for the races, Page 3A. seat vacated by now-federď Ž Complete appeals sample ballot al Jim will be in Sun- Judge Wynn. But the day’s Post. “instantâ€? winner actually may not be known for several weeks if no one receives more than 50 percent of the first-place votes. The second and third choices wouldn’t be counted until after the State Board of Elections finalizes the first round of votes Nov. 23. There’s an intense education effort under way by election officials and good-government advocates to let voters understand the unique voting method being used for this race and three Superior Court judgeships in three counties. The ranking concept hasn’t been used in a statewide race anywhere in at least 70 years, according to the election reform group FairVote. “This is no doubt a change in how we’ve traditionally done our voting, and with any change, you’re going to expect some time to ramp up ... as voters, we’re going to have to do our homework,â€? said Damon Circosta with the nonpartisan North Carolina Center for Voter Education. The instant runoff has overshadowed four other contested statewide races — one for Supreme Court and three for Court of Appeals — being decided through traditional onechoice balloting. The race for the Supreme Court seat vacated by retiring Justice Ed Brady is the most prominent. Although judicial races are officially nonpartisan, the court’s majority would return to Democrats for the first time since 1998 should Bob Hunter of Marion win. If Barbara Jackson of Raleigh wins, a majority on the sevenmember court would be female for the first time. Still, statewide judicial races are often low-profile affairs. The number of voters who simply don’t vote in these races — 30 percent of people who voted for president in 2008 in North Carolina — could rise with an unfamiliar voting method. “Nobody has a lot of money to spend and Joe Public does-

One-dish meals that cook all day are wonderful to come home to after a day of work.
Coming home to a fully-cooked meal can be very nice BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
It’s finally starting to really feel like fall, which means it’s time to think about dragging the crockpot or slow cooker out of hiding. When you live in a busy household, it’s nice to be able to throw some things into a crockpot in the morning before work and then not worry about dinner for the rest of the day. There’s nothing like coming home to a house that’s fragrant with food that’s been cooking all day long. I like to experiment with crockpot recipes. In fact, I’m experimenting today, even as I write this. I took some Thai-style chicken broth, a new discovery for me (flavored with coconut, curry and cardamom) and put it in the crockpot with some cabbage, onion, red pepper and chicken breast chunks, plus a few spices. I have no idea how this combination will turn out, but that’s part of the fun. I can say that when I went home at lunch, the house smelled fabulous, so my hopes are high. Even if it’s not the tastiest thing I’ve ever created, I know exactly what’s in it, and I know that even if it doesn’t taste great, it will be good for me. If you’re not the experimenting type and you’d rather proceed with an actual recipe in hand, there are plenty of them out there. In fact, there are entire cookbooks devoted to slow cooker creations. I tend to gravitate toward recipes with fairly long cooking times— usually 8 hours or a little more — so I don’t have to worry about overcooking anything while I’m at work. I also tend to stay away from the recipes that require you to do any kind of sauteeing or pre-cooking before the ingredients go into the crockpot. To me, that kind of defeats the purpose of this sort of cooking. The following recipes meet my criteria for overall simplicity and cooking time. In the following recipe for Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Beef, I think it would be acceptable to replace the pearl onions with

Abusive marriage takes toll on friendship I don’t want to cause any hard feelings since we will be seeing a lot of each other in the neighborhood. — Speechless Dear Speechless: The time to tackle this would have been last year, as your neighbor was loading your household goods into her minivan. A year later, there is no tactful way to handle this; however, if your yearly yard sale is approaching and this neighbor shows up expecting the same deal, make sure you re-educate her in no uncertain terms that the term “yard sale” contains the word “sale.” Dear Amy: I was stunned at your answer to the lady who asked her husband’s friend “John,” to stop sending them porn by e-mail. Send his mail to the spam folder? I don’t think so. This goes way beyond spam and should be treated as such. I would tell this guy that if
Chef Paula Deen named Rose Parade grand marshal PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Food Network star Paula Deen plans to cook up some fun as grand marshal of the 2011 Rose Parade. The Tournament of Roses made the announcement Tuesday. The 63-year-old chef and cookbook author from Savannah, Ga., will ride in the 122nd parade and toss the coin before kickoff of the 97th annual Rose Bowl game on Jan. 1, 2011. Deen says the parade and game have been longtime New Year’s traditions at her house, and serving as grand marshal is a dream come true. Deen has sold millions of copies of her cookbooks and appears on two Food Network shows.

Dear Broken Record: You may not be able to compel your friend to change her life. Your willingness to offer material as well as emotional support is the essence of true friendship — and now you need to find a positive way to manage your own frustration. Instead of shutting her down when she shares her troubles, you could respond by saying, “I’m so sorry. I hope one day you will take me up on my offer to help you break free from this abuse. Can you think of anything you could do differently?” Because you are willing to remain active in her life, you could extend the opportunity to attend an Al Anon meeting along with you. There she will find a community of other people whose lives have been affected by a loved one’s drinking. You can locate a local meeting by calling 1-888-4252666 or checking al-anon.alateen. org. This is hard on you, but please don’t give up on her. Every person in distress needs an angel, and she is lucky that you are hers.

Dear Amy: My family has a garage sale every fall. Last year a neighbor showed interest in a child’s bike, and I told her that she could take it free of charge. After all, our children are in school together and we socialize from time to time. My neighbor then proceeded to take as much “free” stuff as she could carry. She left with about $75 worth of items. While I wouldn’t have minded giving her the bike or a few inexpensive trinkets, I felt she was taking advantage of me. How can I tactfully let this neighbor know that this is not acceptable?
he sends one more porn image to our e-mail address I will block his e-mails, period. And then do it.

Dear Amy: My friend has been married for 11 years. The relationship has been tumultuous from the start. He drinks daily and comes home nasty to pick fights with her. In the past, she has verbally taken him on, and now she is numb and acquiesces. It’s not good for her and her already low ASK self-esteem. I have sugAMY gested counseling for both of them, counseling for just her (insurance is not an issue) and even offered my home to her for a while, should she get the courage to leave him, so she can get her feet on the ground. However, she does nothing but continue to complain about him for hours. I am tired of it and do not enjoy these conversations. I have even told her bluntly, “I don’t want to hear about it because you don’t do anything about it.” I think she is a bit hurt that I, as her friend, am not there anymore in this regard, although I think she understands why. Is there any advice you can offer that may motivate her to move on and restore her happiness? — Broken Record Concern

OPINION LETTERS

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”
EDITOR lengthy career as a Rowan County assistant district attorney, that her experience enables her to face any situation with a positive attitude. Karen is determined to fight for the citizens of Rowan County. She believes that someone must keep “fighting the good fight.” That someone is Karen Biernacki. She has my vote. I ask you to vote for Karen Biernacki for district attorney. — J.D. Barber
Voters should be required to show ID For the past few years I have opted to use early voting, and I am grateful for this privilege; however, voting at a location where no one knows me makes me wonder if this opens the door for voter fraud. By not requiring an ID to confirm who’s voting, anyone can walk in and vote just by knowing a name and address. When I asked about this at the poll, I was told that North Carolina does not require an ID. This needs to be changed. ASAP! — Mary W. Taylor

Biernacki best for DA Karen Biernacki is the best candidate for Rowan County district attorney. Karen is a native of western Rowan County, served her country in the U.S. Army, has worked for Rowan County DA Bill Kenerly for the last 14 years and is currently his senior assistant. I was also an assistant DA in that office, and can attest to her intelligence, integrity, work ethic and compassion. If you are in doubt about your vote, ask lawyers, police officers or crime victims. Criminal lawyers may tell you to vote for Karen’s opponent. Perhaps that’s because Karen is tough on criminals and expects them to pay for their crimes. Karen has plenty of compassion, but it is for the victims of crimes, not criminals. Police officers know Karen is a tough, thorough prosecutor who for 14 years has worked tirelessly with Rowan County law enforcement and victims to ensure justice is done. Karen is results oriented with a great work ethic. She has not made empty promises to officers to eliminate their having to spend necessary time in court. Crime victims will tell you that Karen has compassion and strength for victims when they need it. Karen is the assistant DA who deals with the toughest cases, such as child sex crimes. Karen is the person who convinces kids that they can stand up to their victimizers in court. Kids and their families trust Karen to be their voice when faced with the prospect of going to court and confronting criminals who have done unspeakable things to them. Karen also has sympathy for the elderly, animals and other crime victims who have no one else to help them deal with the court system. In short, Karen Biernacki has the experience, maturity and good judgment to make her a great district attorney. — Bonnie Busby Salisbury
Cook a proven leader I have known Brandy Cook for the past 16 years, and my family and I support her for district attorney. I have been the assistant athletic director for Catawba College for several years, and I first met Brandy at Catawba while she was a member of the volleyball team. During her years at Catawba, Brandy also worked with the Salisbury YMCA as an after-school counselor, summer counselor and coach. She graduated from Catawba in 1998 and earned a double major in political science and sociology, which is not easy to do while participating in other activities. After Brandy graduated from Catawba, she chose to make Rowan County her home. Having lived in Salisbury for more than 13 years, she cares about our community and will work to make it a safer place to live and raise a family. Brandy Cook is a leader and will be an excellent district attorney for Rowan County. We urge Rowan County voters to support her. — Jeff Childress Salisbury
A voice for victims I’m a disabled veteran of the U.S. Army Rangers who fought for our country’s freedom in the Iraq War and returned three years ago last week. Two weeks ago, I moved my family back from Minnesota, where I’ve been living/stationed for the last 13 years, so I will not be able to vote in Rowan
County this year. If I could, my vote for district attorney would be Karen Biernacki. I’ve known Karen and her family for some 30 years, as a resident born and raised. Karen Biernacki has the maturity and experience as a prosecutor to do justice. Her campaign slogan, “A Voice for Justice,” could easily be reworded, “A Voice for Victims.” I have seen her in action, and I know her to be a tireless foe of criminal perpetrators, with a particular professional disdain for child sex offenders. In my book, that makes U.S. Army veteran Karen Biernacki a defender of the defenseless, of the style upon which this great republic was founded. I strongly encourage fellow veterans to cast your votes for Karen Biernacki for district attorney because she is the epitome of a defender of our freedoms! Rangers lead the way! — Jon Morris Salisbury
Tough on criminals It is amazing to me that for the office of district attorney in Rowan County I have not seen an ad in the paper from Bill Kenerly, endorsing Karen Biernacki for the future role of our DA. I did see his support for Anna Mills Wagoner, whom I will vote for because of her leadership. Brandy Cook needs to be our next DA as she has shown up at many public events, and I heard her speak to a lady who lost her son to murder. She was the DA at that hearing, and she put the criminal behind bars where he needed to be. She has a 100 percent conviction rate for murder trials. That is who I need when my family member has been hurt by crime. — Archie Ray Tucker Salisbury
A lost vote Not being sure which candidate to support for Superior Court judge, I sought more information on the candidates. I saw Marshall Bickett as a judge in a case and thought he was a fair person, so I began with him. I definitely was surprised and worried about what I found. On the fifth Google site, I found information that shocked me. A form provided by the N.C. Family Policy Council (www.ncpolicycouncil.org) had been filled out by Judge Bickett. To my knowledge he is the only candidate who responded to this organization by filling out a form with his opinions. His responses surely show that fairness will be absent from the bench if he is sitting, according to the beliefs he told this organization that he believed to be correct. Judge Bickett answered that the Code of Judicial Conduct should not include equal protection of people based upon sexual orientation. He disagrees with there being a Constitutional protection of a woman’s right to an abortion because he disagrees with the Roe vs. Wade decision. He disagrees with the overturning of an antiquated Texas law which allowed that state to criminalize consensual sex between consenting adults. A judge has to obey the laws of our country and realize that whether he agrees personally with our Constitution, he does not get to ignore it. I would be very afraid

upon reading his answers to have him on the bench out of fear of bigotry toward many individuals. Among my surprises concerning former Governor Easley, now I can add the fact that he appointed someone with these views to the bench. I wanted so much for his answers to be that he believed in the Constitution and equal protection for all. Sadly, it was the opposite. He has lost my vote. — Janet Dennis China Grove
A firsthand view As the wife of Douglas A. Smith, candidate for District Court judge, I can give you some facts. Fact is, Doug never takes the easy way. I said it over 10 years ago when he determined to set up his own law practice — couldn’t he join a firm already established? Doug’s mother said it when he determined to join the Army National Guard as a junior in high school — couldn’t he wait until after he graduated? Couldn’t he just wait for a judicial seat to become vacant, submit his name and hope to be appointed without the stress of a campaign? No. Our community must have faith in its judiciary. This is accomplished by giving them the power to decide who will make the legal rulings in their community. Doug is giving Rowan County the opportunity to elect him as a District Court judge. Fact is, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve worked with Doug 40-plus hours a week for the last eight years as his paralegal and fact is, he is an experienced lawyer. He does not shy away from difficult decisions. I have witnessed him sacrifice family time, weekends and vacations to research a point of law, prepare motions or talk to folks needing legal advice. Doug has represented people from all socio-economic levels, not just a select group. He represents the young, old, rich, poor, mentally ill, addicted and disenfranchised with equal concern and dedication. He will bring this impartiality and experience to the bench along with an understanding of good courtroom management and what it takes to preside with respect to those involved: clerks, law enforcement, attorneys, witnesses and litigants. Fact is, a man who can work with his wife is talented. I encourage you to help me become unemployed Nov. 2 and vote for Doug, a fine man. — Melissa Oleen Salisbury
Warren for House I have voted at every election in the past 40 years but do not remember one any more important than this one. We have all seen what has happened to our country is recent years and know it is not headed in the right direction. We must stand at this time and declare our support of our great country and recognize that we are
the only hope for all people who desire freedom. This year I have had the privilege of getting to know and hear more local candidates then ever before, and I want to thank the Salisbury Post and others for making that possible. I am an active supporter of Harry Warren, candidate for N.C. House District 77. I believe that at this time we need Harry to represent us because of his vision and business background. Having met and talked to Harry, I am convinced that he will work to stop the runaway tax and spend mentality of the current group in Raleigh and Washington. Roads and bridges are good, but if we don’t have jobs and are continually over-taxed, then we will not be able to purchase vehicles or gas in which to enjoy them. What we need now is a fair tax and more jobs because this will result in the tax revenues necessary to pay for what is needed to sustain this great state and nation. We also need to stop the continual erosion of our states’ and individual rights and freedoms. We have a great country, and that is demonstrated by the fact that some will risk their lives to get here and others would risk their lives to destroy it. It is up to us to preserve it, and I believe we should get out and vote; a vote for Harry Warren is a great place to start locally. I support Harry Warren for N.C. House District 77. — Ken Andrews Salisbury
A ‘go to’ prosecutor I have had the personal privilege to work with Karen Biernacki over the years. Karen has always had the time and energy to make herself available to assist law enforcement, wherever and whenever that happened to be. She has always maintained an excellent working relationship with law enforcement, making her the “go to” person in the District Attorney’s Office. As an investigator, I could always count on Karen to be able to quickly size up a situation and make an intelligent and well reasoned decision, even under the most stressful circumstances. Her extensive knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure, along with her common sense, are valuable and critical assets for the next district attorney. When it comes to jury trials, her ability to organize and prepare a case is outstanding. Her ability to relate to all types of people, from very young to very old, and everything in between, is also what makes her so effective, both in and out of the courtroom. She is respected by her peers and law enforcement and is always ready to provide any assistance they might need. As much as technical assistance, Karen’s ability to inspire and motivate the other lawyers in her office in the face of heavy workloads is what sets her apart. She has handled so many serious cases and has dealt with so many complicated issues over her
I am a sergeant with the N.C. Highway Patrol and during the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Brandy Cook. I am a lifelong resident of Rowan County and currently live in Faith. I have watched Brandy prosecute cases in District Court and now in Superior Court where she prosecutes today. I was always impressed with the way she handled District Court; quickly, efficiently, orderly, but always fairly. If you’ve never sat through a session of District Court, it is an eye-opening experience. It seems everyone in District Court needs something. Whether it is from the attorneys and officers or the defendants, I’ve never seen Brandy lose her composure or treat anyone unfairly. She has always handled business in a professional and courteous manner. From the beginning, I could see she was a great attorney, but that became more evident after my first Superior Court driving-whileimpaired case that she prosecuted. This was a good case, but there are always small issues that come up. Brandy knew of these issues ahead of time and addressed them before they were ever a problem. She is able to work the courtroom with passion and confidence that only comes to someone that has full knowledge of the law. She has a way of speaking directly to the jury, so that they can understand what she’s trying to say. Citizens of Rowan County, you can rest assured that if Brandy is elected your district attorney you will be getting a district attorney who is devoted to you and tough on crime. I am proud to call Brandy Cook my friend, and this November, we should proudly call her our district attorney. — Sgt. Garrett Barger, NCSHP Faith
A ‘keeper’ candidate In the upcoming election for district attorney, the choice is clear. Karen Biernacki is the best candidate for district attorney. Karen is a Rowan County native who is in touch with how citizens want the crime problem handled in this county. Karen is not afraid to stand up for victims in a courtroom and to be a voice for them. Karen has the experience to be the top law enforcement officer in this county. She has handled, on her own, the most violent, cruel and complicated cases in the office and is not afraid to do the right thing.

Storm with wind gusts up to 81 mph howls across Midwest CHICAGO (AP) — A massive storm with wind gusts up to 81 mph howled across the nation’s midsection Tuesday, snapping trees and power lines, ripping off roofs, delaying flights and soaking commuters hunched under crumpled umbrellas. Spanning from the Dakotas to the eastern Great Lakes, the unusual system mesmerized meteorologists because of its size and because it had pressure similar to a Category 3 hurricane, but with much less destructive power. Scientists said the storm had the force of a blizzard minus the snow. “If it were colder, we’d have a blizzard with this system,” said David Imy, operations chief at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. But the temperatures were in the 50s and 60s, instead of 20s. At one point, more than 145,000 homes and businesses were without power in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and the St. Louis area.
spasms from the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” which spawns disasters from deep within the Earth. Tuesday’s eruption of Mount Merapi killed at least 18 people, forced thousands to flee down its slopes and spewed burning ash and smoke high into the air on the island of Java. Meanwhile, off the coast of Sumatra, about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) west of the volcano, rescuers battled rough seas to reach Indonesia’s Mentawai islands, where a 10-foot tsunami triggered by an earthquake Monday night swept away hundreds of homes, killing at least 113 villagers, said Mujiharto of the Health Ministry’s crisis center. Up to 500 others are missing. The twin disasters happened hours apart in one of the most seismically active regions on the planet. Scientists have warned that pressure building beneath Merapi’s lava dome could trigger its most powerful explosion in years.

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) — A volcanic eruption and a tsunami killed scores of people hundreds of miles apart in Indonesia —
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California GOP Senate challenger Carly Fiorina was sidelined Tuesday from the campaign trail in the
final week of a close race to be treated for an infection associated with her reconstructive surgery after breast cancer. The former Hewlett-Packard Co. chief executive was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital, forcing her to cancel campaign appearances in Riverside and Coachella just as polls suggested she was starting to gain momentum in her race against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. According to Deborah Bowker, the campaign’s chief of staff, Fiorina was being treated with antibiotics. “While this will impact her campaign schedule today, Carly is upbeat and her doctors expect her to make a quick and full recovery and be back out on the campaign trail soon,” Bowker said in the statement. Boxer’s campaign sent their well wishes.
Honda, Toyota vehicles most trouble-free; GM, Ford show improvement DETROIT (AP) — The most problem-free cars and trucks are made by Honda and Toyota, but U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors are closing the gap in quality, according to an annual survey by Consumer Reports maga-
zine. Ford and GM continue to narrow the disparity that once separated Asia-based automakers from their Detroit rivals. Large overhauls of American car companies in the last few years have resulted in fewer brands and better vehicles from Detroit. For the third year in a row, Toyota’s Scion had the fewest problems of any brand in the survey. It was followed by Porsche, Acura, Honda, and Nissan’s Infiniti luxury brand. The Toyota brand ranked sixth, down from third last year. It was followed by Subaru and Volvo. Lexus, which had been a top finisher in past years, fell to ninth. Ford was 10th, but rose from 16th the previous year. Consumer Reports rankings, released Tuesday, are widely used by buyers shopping for cars and trucks. The magazine ranks No. 3 on the list of information sources used by Americans to pick vehicles, topped only by brand loyalty and recommendations from friends and family. Scion, Toyota’s youth brand, was tops because it sells just three models, the xD hatchback, xB wagon and tC coupe. Those models haven’t been revamped recently. As a result, they have fewer reliability problems, said David Champion, senior director of auto testing for Consumer Reports.
Rand Paul volunteer who stepped on head of liberal activist blames police LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The volunteer with Rand Paul’s Republican U.S. Senate campaign who stepped on the head of a liberal activist and pinned her face to the concrete said Tuesday the scuffle was not as bad as it looked on video and blamed police for not intervening. “I’m sorry that it came to that, and I apologize if it appeared overly forceful, but I was concerned about PAUL Rand’s safety,” Tim Profitt told the Associated Press. A judge will decide whether Profitt should face criminal charges. Lauren Valle, the 23-year-old activist with the group MoveOn.org, said her face was swollen and her neck and shoulder were sore after she was wrestled to the ground by Paul supporters Monday night before a debate between the tea party favorite and Democrat Jack Conway. Valle was roughed up as she tried to give Paul a fake “employee of the month” award. She told police she was assaulted while trying to take a picture with Paul.

US: Enemies searching WikiLeaks Iraq papers

Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mohammad Mohaddessin, holds up documents he claims relate to Iran’s meddling in Iraq during a media conference in Brussels on Tuesday. Documents posted by WikiLeaks last week recount Iran’s alleged role in arming and training Shiite militias in Iraq, where Tehran has also sought to inuence politics. Iran denies these charges. Afghanistan. At the center of the WikiLeaks controversy is a former intelligence analyst, Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is under suspicion of having provided the classified military documents to the whistle-blower website. Manning was stationed in Iraq when he was arrested by U.S. authorities last May. He is charged with multiple counts of mishandling classified data and putting national security at risk. Meanwhile, the United Nations’ top human rights official called the U.S. and Iraq to investigate allegations of detainee abuse contained in the newest WikiLeaks’ war logs. The document cache contained reports of severe abuse by Iraqi forces, and showed that U.S. troops did not intervene to halt the violence in many cases. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said the information adds to “concerns that serious breaches of international human rights law have occurred in Iraq.â€? Pillay said that the U.S. and Iraq should prosecute anyone believed responsible for torture, unlawful killings and other abuses. The documents show that U.S. forces turned detainees over to Iraqi forces even after signs of abuse.

BAGHDAD (AP) — U.S. enemies already are combing through data released last week in a trove of Iraq war documents for ways to harm the American military, the Pentagon’s No. 2 official said Tuesday. U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn called the documents “stolen material� and said they give adversaries key insight on how the U.S. military operates. He did not say which groups, or how the Pentagon knew they were researching the documents. “There are groups out there that have said they are indeed mining this data to turn around and use against us,� Lynn told a small group of reporters during a brief visit to Baghdad. “We think this is problematic.� The Pentagon furiously opposed the documents’ release Saturday by the whistle-blower WikiLeaks website. Lynn’s remarks came a day after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told CNN that the nearly 400,000 papers did not put troops at risk because the names of any soldiers or Iraqi civilians have been redacted. The U.S. has said that the WikiLeaks release of secret Afghan and Iraq war documents threatens national security. WikiLeaks posted about 77,000 Afghanistan war logs on its site in July, and the Pentagon concluded that no U.S. intelligence sources or practices were compromised by the posting. A few weeks later, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he was not yet aware of any Afghan people who were killed as the result of the leak, “but I put emphasis on the word ‘yet.’ � Lynn said the leaked information would not change the way the estimated 50,000 U.S. troops in Iraq operate. But he said he is mulling ways to keep more documents from leaking in the future, such as having computer systems monitor for irregular data searches. “It does seem like commonsense, and I don’t think we’re doing enough of it, frankly,� Lynn said. In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Marine Col. David Lapan said WikiLeaks may have even more classified material than U.S. officials previously believed. He declined to characterize it, but WikiLeaks already has posted half a million secret Iraq and Afghanistan war files since July. The group is also believed to have another 15,000 Afghan war field reports, 260,000 diplomatic cables and U.S. video of casualties in

Forfeits put North alone in first BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
Forfeits involving YVC powers Albemarle and West Montgomery within the last week have catapulted North Rowan from a three-way tie for second place to sole possession of first in its 1A league. The shakeup likely won’t have any postseason effect on the Cavaliers if they lose Friday night. North (4-5, 4-1 YVC) plays host to West Montgomery in what was supposed to be a matchup of conference
co-leaders, but a West Montgomery official confirmed Tuesday that the Warriors must forfeit games against Jordan-Matthews (a non-league win), Albemarle (already a loss) and North Moore (a conference win). A victory against West Montgomery (5-4, 3-2) probably would help propel North Rowan, which will be a heavy favorite in its YVC finale against South Davidson, to an outright conference title. A loss Friday likely would mean that Albemarle (5-4, 3-2), West Montgomery and North Rowan finish in a three-
way tie for first with two losses to other teams, not apiece. us.

At this time last week, Albemarle was 4-0 in the league with a onegame lead over North Rowan, West Montgomery and East Montgomery.

The latest forfeits mean Albemarle, West Montgomery, East Montgomery and South Davidson are in a four-way tie for second behind the Cavaliers.

CONCORD — Injuries h a v e Concord 6 slowed E. Rowan 0 the top t w o Concord tennis players at times this season. Playing at close to full strength Tuesday, the Spiders won 6-0 in a 3A playoff match against an East Rowan team missing second-seeded Megan Bullins (sick). Concord took a quick 30 lead, then pulled out three third-set tiebreakers to complete a singles sweep and eliminate the NPC champion in the second round. “It was great a season,” said Devan Corpening, the only senior in East’s top six. “I’m CORPENING not happy with the way it ended and wish we could have gone farther, but I’m proud of the team.” The absence of Mullins forced most of the Mustangs to slide up one spot in the order. Corpening lost 6-1, 6-0 against top-seeded Kathryn Brown, who’s been bothered by wrist tendinitis, and sixth-seeded Katherine Barnett won 6-1, 6-1 against Taylor Trexler.

CHINA GROVE — Carson’s boys soccer team cleared up a W. Iredell 3 whole lot of confusion 2 Tuesday night. Carson A victory against visiting West Iredell would have put the Cougars in position to finish first, second or third in the congested NPC standings. But by losing 3-2 in overtime, they locked into fourth place and a likely first-round playoff date with top-ranked Charlotte Catholic. “It’s definitely disappointing,” coach Daniel Scullion said after the Cougars (10-8-2, 7-3-2) coughed up a pair of onegoal leads. “We made two big mistakes and they punished us. We didn’t punish their mistakes, but they punished ours. That was our big problem.” Most painful was the goal WI senior Kody Sprinkle scored off a scramble in front with 1:23 remaining in the first OT period. The play developed when teammate Hagen Tlusty’s shot was deflected by Carson’s defense but not cleared. Sprinkle pounced on the loose ball and hammered a shot past freshman keeper keeper Garret Owens. “We tried to clear it but it came back in the middle of the box,” said Carson defender B.J. Collins. “Then their superstar No. 7 just crashed in and took control and finished.” Winning coach David Heintz called Sprinkle — who scored all three goals for league-leading West (12-8-1, 8-2-1) — a finisher first and foremost. “They gave him some space around the net,” he said. “That’s dangerous. He can always use his speed and his skills to find a way to score.” Scullion’s game-plan was to shadow Sprinkle wherever he went. Even that idea proved fruitless. jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

Heat doesn’t live up to all the hype BY JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press
BOSTON — LeBron James and the Miami Heat Celtics 88 were showered Heat 80 with chants of “overrated!” They sure looked that way in their debut as a team formed to win a championship. The old Big Three of the Boston Celtics, playing under the franchise’s 17 title banners, beat the new Big Three of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh 88-80 on Tuesday night. The Heat, though, knew it would take time to jell. “This is one of 82,” Wade said. “Sorry if everyone thought we were going to go 82 and 0. It just ain’t happening.”
Celtics coach Doc Rivers is convinced the Heat will progress into a championship contender. “They’re going to be great,” he said. Not yet, though. JAMES Wade and Bosh weren’t even all that good on opening night. Wade was limited to 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting and Bosh added eight points and eight rebounds. The trio combined for 15 of the Heat’s 17 turnovers — eight by James, six by Wade and one by Bosh. “Right now it’s a feel-out process for myself, for D-Wade, for Chris and for the rest of the guys,” James said.

From staff reports
Salisbury’s boys soccer team clinched an outright CCC title Tuesday with a 3-0 victory at East Davidson, which handed the Hornets their only loss of the season. Salisbury (18-1-1, 8-1-1) led 1-0 at halftime thanks to a goal in the 23rd minute by Emmy Turcios, who took a cross from Matt Cervantes and finished. Before that score, keeper Connor Miller broke up two East Davidson breakaways and made a point-blank save on a header. “That could have changed the complexion very quickly,” Salisbury coach Tom Sexton said. Kenne Bonilla drilled a free kick from 27 yards out into the upper-left corner for a goal with 23 minutes left. “One of our best free kick goals this year,” Sexton said. Salisbury closed the scoring with 14 minutes left. Cervantes sent a back-heel pass to Turcios, who pushed the ball inside the left post. Sexton praised the defensive effort of several players, including Spencer Dixon, John Canipe and Jordy Sanchez (30 minutes off the bench at left midfield). B.J. Woods was used to mark the opponent’s top threat for the third straight game. “Three times in a row he’s come out smelling like a rose,” Sexton said.
Salisbury is scheduled to play host to North Rowan on senior night Thursday. The playoffs begin next week, and the Hornets will be at home in Round 1. Graham is a possible opponent. Salisbury’s jayvee team won 10-0 over East Davidson and finished the season 10-1-1.
Prep volleyball Carson’s volleyball team was swept in three games by Charlotte Catholic in the second round of the 3A playoffs Tuesday. The Cougars finished the season 23-8. Catholic (27-1) next faces West Iredell, which won in five games against Marvin Ridge. North Iredell advanced by sweeping Weddington.
College volleyball Catawba’s volleyball team won in four games (26-24, 21-25, 25-20, 28-26) against Lenoir-Rhyne on Tuesday. Shay Meeks had 20 kills for Catawba (11-12, 6-9 SAC). Kaitlyn Whitmer added 13 kills and 15 digs. MacKenzie White (Carson) posted 10 kills and nine digs. Setter Jordan Raye handed out 45 assists to go with 12 digs and nine kills. Kayla Morrow (South Rowan) had three kills for Lenoir-Rhyne. It fell to 12-12 overall and 5-10 in the SAC.

Salisbury coasts to win BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
— later that week. The 56-mile ride from Salisbury to Maiden coasted to a stop at the Justice Center, which houses the county jail. The players lined up on a sidewalk with their tennis bags in tow while awaiting Huffman’s arrival. “It was quite a sight,” Myers said. “Maiden’s coach came over and picked them up in a bus, and they said it was completely quiet. He goes, ‘Is it going to be awkward the whole drive to Maiden?’ They said, ‘No, we’ll play music,’ and they put on their stereo and started playing that. They’ve been taking it to every match that we go to.” The closest matches Tuesday came at the top of the order in both singles and doubles. Loeblein won 6-3, 6-2 against state qualifier Kaylyn Key, and Nelson pulled out a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Cinderella Yang. Storey (vs. Michelle Lor), Hoskins (vs. Laura Melonakos), Page (vs. Molly Black) and Flynn (vs. Nhoelle Inthavong) didn’t drop more than one game in a set. At No. 1 doubles, Nelson-Storey won 8-3 against Key-Yang. The other two matches were shutouts. “One thing I stressed to our younger kids is that I wanted them to watch Salisbury play,” Huffman said. “Hopefully our program can get to that level because that is a good model to push for.”
Salisbury’s top-ranked tennis team likely will have to Salisbury 9 win three straight Maiden 0 times away from home to reach another 2A final in Burlington. The first road trip didn’t go as smoothly as the actual match. The Hornets advanced to the third round of the playoffs Tuesday with a 9-0 victory against eighth-ranked Maiden, which served as the host because of conference seeding priority. Salisbury’s bus ran out of gas about seven miles short of its destination — coach/driver Chris Myers cited a non-functioning fuel gauge that read “full” as the cause — and Maiden coach Jon Huffman transported Myers’ players from the Catawba County Justice Center in Newton to the Blue Devils’ courts. “As long as it’s just the bus running out of gas and not the team, I feel pretty good about it,” Myers said with a laugh. Joy Loeblein, Erika Nelson, Katelyn Storey, Madeline Hoskins, Anna Page and Anna Flynn earned straight-set wins against Maiden (16-4) in a rematch of last year’s Western final. Nelson-Storey, Loeblein-Page and Hoskins-Flynn prevailed in doubles. The Hornets (24-2) will travel to either second-ranked and unbeaten Adam Houston of The Observer Brevard or Ashe County next week, with the winner moving on to the N e w s E n t e r p r i s e i n N e w t o n Western final — possibly at Shelby contributed to this story.
EAST FROM 1B a 6-2, 6-1 victory against Rebecca Agner. The Mustangs (13-4) were in position to possibly salvage a singles split, but Concord (16-1) didn’t let the match extend to doubles. Third-seeded Sally Moore won 6-3, 2-6, (10-8) over Hannah Pressley, and fifthseeded Kirsten Spencer’s 3-6, 6-1, (10-8) victory over Lizzie Weaver sealed the outcome. “Just like the other person, I don’t like to lose, so I tried to fight my hardest,” Weaver said. “It could have gone either way.” Madison Kay followed with a 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), (10-4) win against Kayela Wilson at No. 4. Wilson hit a slice backhand for a crosscourt winner and benefited from an unforced error to close out the first set, then jumped out to a 5-1 lead in
the second set. Kay forced a 5-all tie, and the players traded games before entering a second-set tiebreaker. Kay led 4-1 in that one and 7-2 in the third-set tiebreaker. On the adjacent court, Pressley fell behind 5-1 in her third-set tiebreaker but won five of the next seven points. Moore pulled ahead 9-6, and Pressley saved two match points before Moore put away a volley. The tiebreaker between Weaver and Spencer was just as tight. Weaver drew even at 7-all and 8-all despite losing six of the first nine points. Spencer won the final two. “I think the girls did a good job of playing with patience and consistency,” Concord coach Jill Gardiner said. “Whenever you get down a first set, you really have to dig deep. I was really ecstatic to see the three girls do that. We haven’t had a single match where three girls had to come back or rejuvenate themselves that much.”

If there was a watershed moment in the game, it came with 17:40 left in the second half. That’s when Gurrero gathered Jorge Sanchez’ throw-in from the left sideline and found himself mano-ymano with Ortez on the doorstep. “I usually miss those one-onones,” Gurrero reported afterward. “They’ve been putting a lot of pressure on me to finish those plays.

We can’t finish teams off. And tonight, it just wasn’t our night.” It must have been Sprinkle’s. He finished off the Cougars all by himself when he netted his 23rd goal of the season on a ball that should have been cleared. “For us it’s a huge win,” Heintz said. “We didn’t play well, but we came from behind twice and ended up winning.” For Carson it was just the opposite. “Mathematically, four teams could have won this conference,” Scullion explained. “Now it’s three.

Tuesday’s decision went to the Celtics behind 20 points from Ray Allen, 19 from Paul Pierce and 10 points and 10 rebounds from Kevin Garnett. Shaquille O’Neal, James’ teammate last season, had nine points and seven rebounds for Boston.

After road swing, Hurricanes ready for home opener Associated Press
RALEIGH — The young Carolina Hurricanes have proven those skeptics wrong who predicted they might be eliminated from the playoff chase before their home opener. They wound up emerging from a daunting season-opening seven-game road trip with a winning record while showing signs that they could be very much a factor in the Southeast Division. And while nobody’s printing playoff tickets just yet, there’s no denying that a 4-3 start has given the Hurri-
canes an early jolt of much-needed self-confidence — especially since it came during a seven-game stretch that took them to Finland and, later, down the West Coast. By the team’s count, they traveled more than 15,000 miles and across 11 time zones. “I think that coming off a road trip that was very difficult ... and having as much or more confidence in yourself than when you left, I think we’re happy about that,” coach Paul Maurice said Monday. “I don’t know that being a game over .500 fires anyone up ... but I think it’s more a general un-

Carolina won both games against the Wild, then lost a week later at Ottawa before spending a week out West, beating San Jose and Phoenix while losing at Vancouver and Los Angeles. “One of the big things following a big road trip like that is camaraderie between the guys and just being able to jel with them and get to know them, espeically with the young group we have and getting to know the older guys,” defenseman Jamie McBain said.

The NHL roundup ... PHILADELPHIA — Jeff Carter scored a goal and had two assists, and the Philadelphia Flyers survived a third-period flurry to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-3 on Tuesday night. Danny Briere and Claude Giroux each added a goal and an assist for Philadelphia, which had lost four of five. Nikolay Zherdev, Darroll Powe and Andreas Nodl also scored for the Flyers. Sergei Bobrovsky had 31 saves. Thomas Vanek scored in the first period, and Tyler Myers and Steve Montador added goals in the third for the Sabres, who dropped to 3-6-1. Senators 5, Coyotes 2 OTTAWA — Alex Kovalev scored twice and added an assist, combining with Erik Karlsson for the fastest two goals in Ottawa history, to lead the Senators past Phoenix. Karlsson and Kovalev scored 9 seconds apart in the first period to break the previous team record by 1 second. Karlsson opened the scoring with a powerplay goal 5:27 in. His goal was still being announced when Kovalev made it 2-0 at 5:36, breaking a modern franchise record. Chris Kelly also scored and Brian Elliott made 28 saves for Ottawa, which has won two of three since a 14-1 start. Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 1 TORONTO — Maple Leafs enforcer Colton Orr scored the winning goal after knocking over goalie Scott Clemmensen, and Toronto beat Florida.

TONY ROMO
No surgery for Romo Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo does not need surgery on his broken left collarbone, and doctors are expecting the Dallas Cowboys quarterback to miss up to eight weeks. With only 10 weeks left in a season that’s off to a 15 start, there may not be much reason for Romo to return at all. The team said Romo had additional evaluation and testing, including a CT scan. Romo broke his left collarbone on a hard hit by an unblocked linebacker early in the second quarter against the New York Giants on Monday night. He spent the second half watching from the bench, his arm in a sling. He tried being an extra coach on the sideline — wearing a headset, studying instant pictures and offering advice and encouragement. He said he’ll do more of the same while he’s out. "We're not going to stop right now and give up or quit or whine or even make excuses," coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday. "I think our guys will band together." Romo threw a pass early in the second quarter, then took a hard — but clean — hit from linebacker Michael Boley. Boley drove Romo into the ground on his left shoulder, leaving him flat on his back.
The NFL roundup ... MINNEAPOLIS — After a narrow loss to bitter division rival Green Bay, Vikings coach Brad Childress seethed at what he called “the worst officiated game I’ve seen.” On Tuesday, he paid for it. The NFL fined Childress $35,000 for criticizing officials and disclosing confidential conversations with the of- CHILDRESS ficiating department. Childress sharply criticized the officiating crew after a 28-24 loss to the Packers on Sunday night. He was particularly upset with a replay reversal of a touchdown catch by Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. He also was upset by a facemask call against right tackle Phil Loadholt and not calling a hold on Jared Allen that allowed Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to scramble for a first down. The biggest play was Shiancoe’s touchdown catch. He made a diving grab in the end zone and appeared to secure it as he rolled onto his back. Officials ruled it a touchdown, but upon review, overturned the call. The Vikings wound up settling for a field goal. Childress first rebuked the officials on the postgame radio show on KFAN. He continued his criticism in his postgame news conference, saying “50 drunks in a bar” would have made the correct call on Shiancoe’s catch. On Monday, Childress told the media that he spoke to Carl Johnson, the league’s vice president of officiating, about the missed call. “I was told this morning that that was a touchdown
by Carl Johnson,” Childress said. “He was disappointed to see that reversed.” That, apparently, is another no-no in the NFL. COX’S MEMORY LOSS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Shortly after playing in Oakland’s 59-14 rout of Denver on Sunday, Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox went home and watched the contest again. Not to learn what went wrong. Just to remember what took place after a blow to the head completely wiped out his memory of the game. Cox suffered a head injury in the third quarter and couldn’t recall any of the details from the lopsided loss. He clearly remembers the night before and then coming to in the trainer’s room. In between, nothing. “I woke up and asked what the score was and they told me, ‘A lot to a little,’” Cox told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “That was kind of shocking to me — I don’t remember nothing.” FASTER WHISTLES? PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin didn't like it when the NFL was criticizing his players. Apparently, he doesn't like it any better now that the league is praising them. Ray Anderson, the NFL vice president for football operations, applauded Steelers linebacker James Harrison for "heeding our emphasis" by avoiding a dangerous hit Sunday in Miami like the one on Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi the week before. Harrison was fined $75,000 for the Massaquoi hit, although he wasn't penalized on the play. "There certainly was one play, on a hit on a running back, that James Harrison may have taken a shot at the running back going down, and Harrison let up," Anderson said. "I applaud James for restraining himself."

BOSTON — This looked much more like a Game 7 than a season opener. Long before the fans made their way through security Tuesday, the hallways were lined several deep with reporters, piled up in droves trying to overhear whatever LeBron James said before his debut as a member the Miami Heat. “I feel like a fish in a fish tank,” James said. “How fast can he swim?” James’ pregame comments could hardly add any more hype. Boston’s new Garden was packed by the time opening lineups were announced, with James going first to the loudest round of “boos.” Fans with digital cameras piled up in the lower rows, separated by a security ribbon from the professional photographers all looking for the first shots of the first of many "games of the season." Spike Lee made the trip north from New York and was courtside as Celtics fans poured in.

fewer in a period. The last time James’ Cavaliers scored nine or fewer points in a quarter was February 2, 2007, when they managed nine in the second against the Chicago Bulls. Things got so bad for the Heat in the first half that O’Neal, a notoriously poor free throw shooter, made the first two he tried as a Celtic. That boosted the lead to 4122 with 2:13 left in the second quarter. Miami then got a brief burst, scoring six straight points to make it 41-28. The last basket in that surge was a dunk by James on a backward pass from Eddie House, whose steal started their 2-on-none break. That drew cheers from two Heat fans — one wearing a T-shirt with James’ name on the back and the other with a jersey bearing Wade’s name — but a fan wearing a green Celtics Tshirt, yelled, “He’s supposed to do that. That is not impressive.” It was pretty impressive, considering how poorly the Heat shot in the first half against a quick, aggressive Celtics defense. Miami missed 30 of its 41 shots, a paltry 26.8 percent. Boston went 17 for 38 (44.7 percent). The Celtics lost Pierce with 4:32 left in the third period when he hit the floor and hurt his back as he was charged with a blocking foul on James.

Catawba notebook ... Vincent Beam, No. 85, will be a brand new name on the depth chart when Catawba travels to Mars Hill on Saturday for a matchup of two of the four teams tied for first place in the SAC. Beam, a redshirt freshman from Wilkes Central, was well down the list of candidates for Catawba’s new Y-back position when the season began, but now he’s the No. 2 guy. BEAM Grayson Downs, the 275-pound senior starter, whose multi-faceted talents were a factor in Catawba introducing the Y-back, has injured both shoulders this season. His second injury occurred in the Carson-Newman game. Losing Downs hurt, but Catawba coaches were confident Chris Peoples, an athletic transfer from Livingstone, could replace Downs at a position that is part fullback and part tight end. Peoples made nice catches against Carson-Newman and was a major part of the gameplan going to Newberry on Saturday. But the 6-foot-4 Peoples broke a leg during Catawba’s 28-25 win. E.J. Branch, a special-teams stud, is now the starter at Y-back, with the 205-pound Beam next in line. “E.J. is more the fullback type and Beam is a little undersized right now, but we’re confident they’ll get the job done,” Catawba head coach Chip Hester said.
DB HURTING: Starting safety Kewone Harris pulled a hamstring late in practice on Wednesday prior to the Newberry game. “It happened all of a sudden, and hamstrings are injuries that can reHARRIS ally linger and are easy to reaggravate,” Hester said. Hester praised the play of Casey Hall, who stepped in for Harris on Saturday and made five
HE’S BACK: Defensive tackle Brandon Sutton returned to action Saturday after missing just two games with a knee injury. He wasn’t 100 percent, but he contributed and recovered a fumble. “It’s a lift any time one of your captains can play again,” Hester said. “Our guys fed off his presence.” Senior Gerron Bryant agreed. “It was great to see Brandon Sutton trot on the field,” he said. “When your best friend is down, and then he’s back up, it’s a big boost.”

GOOD JOB: Catawba’s defense slowed a Newberry offense that ranks No. 1 in the SAC in scoring with 38.1 points a game. Safety L.J. McCray made 10 tackles.
HONOREES: Catawba quarterback Patrick Dennis and Bryant (195 receiving yards) shared Offensive Player of the Week honors. Dennis’ three TD passes gave him 41 for his career, sixth on Catawba’s all-time list. He has 4,479 passing yards and moved past Donnie Davis for seventh place at Catawba on Saturday. It’s been a pretty amazing career for Dennis, an unheralded recruit. He’s thrown 18 career picks, far fewer than anyone else on Catawba’s all-time leaderboard.

Brandon Sutton was back in action last week after an injury. Week for Catawba and the SAC.
GOOD JOB II: Hester praised oline coach Brian Hinson and running backs coach D.J. Summers for adjustments that helped Catawba hang on to a three-point lead and run out the clock. “We were able to run for some huge first downs at a time when Newberry really had some momentum going,” Hester said.
KEY STAT: Next to turnovers, third-down conversions may the biggest stat week-in and week-out. Catawba won third down convincingly on Saturday, moving the chains on 8 of 17 chances and holding Newberry to a 4-for-13 success rate.
STREAK: Catawba has scored in 184 straight games since it was shut out by East Tennessee State in 1994. The streak ranks sixth in Division II. Valdosta State has scored in 232 straight games to top the list.
TOUGH CHALLENGE: Saturday’s road opponent, Mars Hill, is one of the more balanced teams in the SAC, with no obvious weakness. “I think if you took a poll of SAC coaches right now, they’d say Mars Hill was the top team in our league,” Hester said. Mars Hill back Jonas Randolph is the SAC’s leading rusher with 936 yards. QB Jon Richt is the No. 5 passer, right behind Dennis. Hester is 6-2 against the Lions, while MH coach Tim Clifton is 3-14 against the Indians.

Ross, Giants ready for Lee in opener Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval and the rest of the San Francisco Giants can study the scouting reports and videotape all they want, trying to find the secret to getting a hit against Cliff Lee. Or, they can just ask Cody Ross. Because many years ago, before he blossomed into the MVP of the NL championship series, Ross was a struggling rookie with the Detroit Tigers. Who happened to hit his first major league home run off Lee. A grand slam, at that. Of course, Lee was early in his career, too. He hardly had become Mr. Perfect in the postseason, the left-hander who will pose a giant challenge for San Francisco when it faces the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series tonight. “Cliff Lee, superhero,” summed up Sandoval. Watch Lee from the center-field camera and it’s difficult to tell exactly what makes him so dominant. David Price brings more heat. Andy Pettitte brought more October experience. But Lee beat them in the playoffs. Maybe it’s the way he throws any of his pitches for strikes on any count. At any speed, too. A real-life version of a video game — try to duplicate that in “Major League Baseball 2K10.” “Confidence, relying on my routine,” Lee said Tuesday before the Rangers worked out. “Going out there and expecting to be successful.” Lee is 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA in eight lifetime postseason starts heading into his matchup with two-time NL Cy Young winner Tim Lince-

Lee went 3-0 this year in the AL playoffs, striking out 34 and walking just one. Lincecum and Lee pose an intriguing matchup of opposite artisans. The Giants’ lanky ace’s pitches have dizzying movement, while Lee is able to adjust his pinpoint control for an umpire’s strike zone. Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux said
Lee reminds him of someone he knows well — namely his brother, four-time Cy Young winner Greg Maddux. A left-handed version, naturally. “If you can command your fastball and change speeds, you’re going to have good results,” Maddux said. Lee’s severe strikeout-to-walk ratio has prompted many to suggest the best strategy
McGwire agrees to return to Cards
Burney cleared to play
Associated Press
Associated Press
The college football notebook ... CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina cornerback Kendric Burney has been cleared to play this weekend against William & Mary. Burney recently completed a six-game suspension issued by the NCAA for receiving improper benefits connected to trips, but missed last weekend’s loss at Miami due to what the school described as an “unresolved issue.” With Tuesday’s announcement that Burney is cleared, the status of two players — defensive lineman Michael McAdoo and fullback Devon Ramsay — remains in question. McAdoo is the only remaining player of the 13 who missed the opener against LSU; Ramsay played the first four games before he was held out due to the investigation. The NCAA launched an investigation in the summer focused on agent-related benefits, though it expanded to possible academic violations. Those cases were handled primarily by the school’s student judicial system, though privacy laws prevent the school from discussing in detail any player’s involvement in the academic review. Burney will become the fifth to return to the game action for the Tar Heels (43). A sixth, tailback Ryan Houston, was cleared to return to the lineup after missing the first five games, but he might redshirt. BOISE ST. 49, LA. TECH 20 BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore threw two touchdown passes and caught another on a trick play, helping No. 2 Boise State beat Louisiana Tech 49-20 on Tuesday night for its 21st consecutive victory. Moore was 20 of 28 for 298 yards. He found receiver Austin Pettis for a 6-yard touchdown pass and Pettis returned the favor late in the third quarter, throwing to Moore for a 7-yard score. Tyler Shoemaker also had a 32-yard TD catch and Doug Martin ran for 150 yards on 21 carries for Boise State (7-0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference). Martin gave the Broncos a 7-0 lead with a 2-yard in the first and wrapped up the scoring with a 20-yard scamper in the fourth. Louisiana Tech (3-5, 2-2) and its hurry-up offense rolled up 394 yards against the nation's top-ranked defense.
is to hit the first strike he throws, rather than risk falling behind in the count. “People love to talk about Cliff throwing strikes but it’s not like he’s just gunning balls down the middle of the plate,” Texas third baseman Michael Young said. “There’s a big difference between throwing strikes and throwing quality strike after quality strike.” A win over the Giants will tie Lee for the best start in postseason history — Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez, with all his quirky gyrations and deliveries, won his first eight decisions. To Lee, it’s all rather routine. In fact, there was a neat picture of him during the playoffs, yawning in the dugout at Yankee Stadium. Sure doesn’t look like someone pitching in huge games. “I don’t really look at it like that,” Lee said a few days ago. “Some people might, I don’t feel any more pressure.” Lee has been equally perfect against the Giants — three starts, three wins and a 1.13 ERA. He last faced them in 2009 in his first start after being traded from Cleveland to Philadelphia, and breezed at AT&T Park. “Weather and clubhouse and the bullpens” are different, he said. “Once you get on the mound, it’s 60 feet, 6 inches and you’ve still got a professional hitter in there trying to do damage off of you. To me, that doesn’t really matter that much.” Call it superstition or just being comfortable, Lee doesn’t like to change his hat, glove or cleats during the season. Sometimes he has to — he’s been traded four times in his career, most recently from Seattle to Texas before the All-Star break.

russell Wilson leads N.c. state against Florida state on thursday.
Wolfpack rested, ready for ’Noles Associated Press
RALEIGH— Russell Wilson finally got to watch some football on television instead of in a film room. Audie Cole cleared his head by hunting for deer. For North Carolina State, a week off couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. Now it’s up to the Wolfpack to put that extra time to good use for a change when they play host to No. 16 Florida State on Thursday night. N.C. State has faced the Seminoles following the off week in each of the previous two years and lost both times in close games. The Wolfpack hope things are different this time, mainly because their stinging loss two weeks ago at East Carolina has been one of the few blips in an otherwise strong start. “I’m personally tired of hearing about that (East Carolina) game,” Cole said. “I kind of wish we could forget about it, but it is what it is, just something that you’ve got to remember, move on from and do better this time. I think everyone wants to go out and prove that we can still play and that we’re better than that.” N.C. State (5-2, 2-1 ACC) has used its idle weeks in recent years to not only heal a few bumps and bruises, but also to try to turn things around after disappointing slow starts. Despite that disheartening loss to the Pirates, there’s no pressing need to reinvent themselves this time because instead of needing to dig themselves out of a hole, the Wolfpack are very much in contention in the Atlantic Division. “I think the team used it wisely. I think we were fatigued both mentally and physically,” said coach Tom O’Brien, who added that the team didn’t practice until last Thursday. “The seven-game stretch caught up to some of them, especially the younger kids,” he added. “It catches up to you. I think we did a good job off the field academically, because we made sure we got ahead with a lot of guys, and got rested,
and as we got back on the field, it looked like it was a different football team, in terms of their legs and the quickness factor.” They’ll need both, if the recent past is any indication. The Wolfpack is 1-2 under O’Brien when they’re coming off an off week, with both losses coming to Florida State. They were beaten by nine points two years ago and lost a wild 45-42 contest last year in Tallahassee, Fla. The challenge for this week lies in both figuring out how to beat the Seminoles for the first time since 2006, and maintaining the high level of play that had defined the first half of the schedule. “Our mindset is always to keep pushing and getting better,” Wilson said. “Were we tired? It’s tough to say. Obviously, playing seven games in a row is definitely tough, but we’ve had a good start to the first half of the season, and now it’s time to get the second half going. We’re getting ready and getting a good mindset to the second half.” That started by mentally refreshing themselves and refocusing on what gave them their best start since Philip Rivers was under center in Raleigh. For Wilson, the ACC’s leader in yards passing and total offense, that meant analyzing the miscues that led to an uncharacteristic nine interceptions — he had a total of 12 during his first two seasons as the starter. He said he spent his week off watching college and pro football and some playoff baseball — natural viewing choices for the Wolfpack’s two-sport star. Meanwhile, Cole spent some quality time in the woods, looking for deer and reflecting on the season so far. “I’m not so sure it’s, like, worn out. I’m sure we could have kept playing,” Cole said. “But it was definitely nice to have a week off, not only to heal your body ... (but) clear your mind and do things other than football. ... You’ve got to get away from it for a little while, step back, and I think it’ll help us and make us come back wanting it more.”
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals said Mark McGwire has agreed to a one-year deal to return as the team's hitting coach. Terms were not disclosed. Before spring training, McGwire ended years of denials and a self-imposed exile by admitting that he had used steroids and human growth hormone on and off for a decade, starting before the 1990 season and including when he broke Roger Maris' home run record in 1998. There was little public outcry and McGwire settled into a mostly behind-thescenes role as a bench coach. The offense sputtered to the All-Star break and there had been talk that McGwire might not return after his wife gave birth to triplets over the summer.
SPORTS AGENTS 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.
SOCCER LOS ANGELES — David Beckham said he plans to play out the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2011 while continuing to hope he'll play for England again. Beckham has a five-year contract with Major League Soccer worth $32.5 million. He could buy out the final year and leave next month when the playoffs end, but Beckham said in an interview with the Associated Press that he doesn't plan to do that.
TENNIS VIENNA — His passion for tennis renewed, 43-yearold Thomas Muster plans to resume his comeback next season. Muster, once ranked No. 1, lost Tuesday in his first match on the ATP Tour after 11 years away. He was beaten by 23-year-old Andreas Haider-Maurer 6-2, 7-6 (5) in an all-Austrian match in the first round of the Bank Austria Trophy.would "go on a holiday."

SWIMMING COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Swimming said it will open its own investigation into the death of openwater swimmer Fran Crippen at a World Cup event in the United Arab Emirates. Crippen, a 26-year-old from suburban Philadelphia, died Saturday during a 10kilometer race. He failed to finish and was found in the water two hours later, 400 meters from the finish.
HOCKEY VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Vancouver Canucks forward Rick Rypien apologized for grabbing a fan during a game last week. Rypien is serving a sixgame suspension for making contact with fan James Engquist during a game against the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul on Oct. 19. Rypien was headed to the locker room after being assessed a double minor for roughing and 10-minute misconduct when he reached up and grabbed Engquist, a fan applauding at the railing. Rypien was pulled away by teammate Manny Malhotra and coach Alain Vigneault.
GOLF NEW YORK — This will be the final week Tiger Woods is at No. 1 in the world, ending a run of more than five years dating to the week before the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst. Lee Westwood will go to No. 1 on Sunday, unless PGA champion Martin Kaymer gets to No. 1 this week at Valderrama. Oddly enough, what has made it tough on Woods' competition in the world ranking is now working against Woods. He plays such a limited schedule that his divisor is rarely more than 40 or 42 tournaments over two years. Woods has played only 30 tournaments in the last two years because of his knee surgery and personal turmoil. If not for the minimum divisor of 40 tournaments, his lead over Westwood in the world ranking this week would be 2.83 points instead of 0.06.

Wednesday, Oct. 27 A creative endeavor you conceive in the next 12 months is likely to be well received and has excellent chances of becoming profitable if you handle things right. Listen to and consider all advice being offered, but make up your own mind. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When entertaining, if you permit a pal to bring along an additional guest, you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself if it creates a problem for you. Grin and bear it. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Do your best to restrict a sticky family issue to the household. By allowing outsiders to get involved, you are asking for additional problems to be introduced. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When involved in a group endeavor, try to include people of different stripes and textures so that you don’t have any complaints. Not to do so is asking for big trouble. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Conditions in general indicate that material success is in the making for you. However, unless you display proper acknowledgement to those who have helped you, trouble could ensue. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Proceed with ideas as you envision them and don’t ask for trouble by inviting people to comment on your thoughts. Everyone thinks differently, and you can be sure you’ll find a dissenter. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Don’t try to shift the blame for your personal burdens onto someone else, especially an individual who is always bailing you out. Instead thank that person for being of such great help. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This should be a pleasant day for you as long as you don’t concentrate on little things that could bug you. Keep in mind that nothing is perfect and something good lurks in everything. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Stop exerting undue pressure on yourself and you won’t deflate your advantages. If you let the day unfold, you’ll find it to be a pleasant one where many happy things will occur. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — When conversing with friends, you should know better than to allow heavy issues to be introduced that would pit one chum against another. Keep your topics light and nonpolitical. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you want to spoil what should be a very pleasant day, start attacking the family’s spending habits. Keep your grumbles to yourself and concentrate on all the pleasant things in your life. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The quickest way to lose a friend is to attack the motives of what your pal is doing. If your conclusions are way out in left field, you would end up losing what should have been a wonderful friendship. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you’re on a roll, be careful not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Once you achieve your objective, don’t question why things went the way they did, just move on to the next project. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Vitamin C could keep you looking young Dear Dr. Gott: In a recent column, you suggested vitamin C for collagen synthesis. Would a C supplement be helpful to prevent skin wrinkles, which I understand are associated with collagen breakdown? I take 500 mg a day of vitamin C and have relatively few wrinkles at age 66. Dear Reader:Three years ago, CBS News reported the findings of a DR. PETER study to determine the GOTT impact of nutrients from foods rather than supplements for skin aging. It was found that people who ate vitamin C-rich foods had fewer wrinkles than did people who ate substantially fewer foods containing C, proving that we are what we eat. The study was based on results from
more than 4,000 women between the ages of 40 and 74 who had extensive dermatologic exams designed to evaluate the wrinkling and aging of their skin. They found that eating a diet low in C appeared to be a risk factor for wrinkling and skin dryness. This was followed by several physicians who remain skeptical. For them, other factors come into play, such as good genes and protecting the skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Using a good face cream to keep skin moist is critical. Furthermore, these physicians feel people should not smoke. Vitamin C products can be expensive. The most common form of supplementation is in pill form, often chewable pills. It is by far less expensive, safer and tastier simply to eat a healthful, balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, many of which are packed with vitamin C and other vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Vitamin C is purported to benefit the skin in two ways. First, it is vital for the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein of the skin. Secondly, C is an antioxidant that can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. The recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C for people 19 years of age and older is 90 mg per day for men and 75 mg per day for women. Smokers may require more, with 125 mg for men and 110 mg for women. This is because smokers are under increased oxidative stress from the toxins in cigarette smoke and are generally found to have lower levels of C in their blood. My honest guess is that if you are relatively wrinklefree at the age of 66, you are one lucky lady. You obviously have good genes, eat well, exercise, and protect your skin against the damaging rays of the sun. And if you feel the C is a part of your youthful skin, you should
keep it up. My hat is off to you (but not in the sun). To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Vitamins and Minerals.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167 or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Sheen leaves hospital after NYC hotel outburst NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Sheen was briefly hospitalized Tuesday after security at the Plaza Hotel called police to report he was disorderly and had broken furniture in his room, police said. His publicist blamed an allergic reaction to medication, and said the actor was discharged Tuesday evening and on his way back to Los Angeles. Sheen appeared highly in-
toxicated when officers arrived to his room around 1:30 a.m., and a woman with him said they had been out drinking and partying that night, according to a law enforcement official. She said he was yelling and tossing furniture when they returned to the room, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the encounter and spoke to the Associated Press on condition
of anonymity. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said hotel security reported Sheen was disorderly. The actor voluntarily went with authorities for a psychiatric evaluation. “No arrests were made. It’s not a complaint. He’s being treated at a hospital,” Kelly said. The publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said the 45-year-old had an adverse allergic reaction
to some medication. “Everything else is speculation,” Rosenfield said. It’s not clear who the woman in the hotel room was. Sheen was in New York on a family vacation. His ex-wife, actress Denise Richards, and their two children, Sam, 6, and Lola, 5, also were staying at the hotel in a different room, the official said.
It may happen once in a while United Feature Syndicate
Sir Winston Churchill said, "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." That happens at the bridge table. There are deals that are misplayed but the cards forgive, allowing the contract to make anyway. The declarers often move on to the next board as if nothing untoward ever happened. Then there are other deals, far less frequent, when the cards do not forgive. Many declarers stumble and fall. In today's deal, how would you play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen? You start with seven top tricks: two spades, four diamonds and one club. You could hope that West has the heart ace and lead that suit twice through him. That, though, is only a 50-50 shot. It is much better to play on clubs -- but how? It looks so obvious to lead a low club to your jack. Here, though, West wins with his king and plays another spade. You take that and cash the club ace, but when West discards, you cannot make more than eight tricks. Yes, that was unlucky. Your a priori chance of success was approximately 87 percent. However, there was even better. Start with the club ace. If only low cards appear, play a diamond to the dummy and lead a club to your jack. If the suit is 3-2, everything is fine. If West has four clubs, you get three
tricks without difficulty. If East has king-fourth of clubs, he must duck the second round. Then you switch to hearts, establishing nine tricks: two spades, one heart, four diamonds and two clubs. This line is nearly 90 percent.
