DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VIGIL

Eddinger’s stash of campaign cash dwarfs Showfety’s BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Rowan County District Court Judge Kevin Eddinger has raised more than $17,000 toward his re-election bid, double the total of challenger June Showfety. According to third-quarter campaign finance reports filed recently, attorney Showfety had raised a total of $8,070 for her campaign as of last week. Of that, $ 6 , 5 4 5 Five on ballot but came in only four making the form of serious run for i n - k i n d commissioner, 9A contributions. Showfety has spent $7,657. Eddinger has raised a total of $17,624 — nearly $10,000 in the third quarter alone — including $9,426 in loans and $2,567 in-kind contributions. At the time his campaign committee turned in the report, he had spent only $10,884. Eddinger is one of three district court judges running for re-election in Rowan this year. Beth Dixon is facing a challenge from Doug Smith; their finance reports were not available Thursday. Charlie Brown and Bill Kluttz are running unopposed. Many of Eddinger’s contributors include local attorneys. From July 1 to Oct. 16, contributors giving his campaign $100 or more include: • Darrin Jordan, attorney, golf signs valued at $100. • Cecil Whitley, attorney, oyster roast tickets valued at

Those gathered Thursday at the Rowan County Courthouse took time to remember those who have lost their lives and to offer support those whose lives have been affected by domestic violence.

Family Crisis Council says support available for those looking for ways to break the cycle BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

very day, an hour before Carol Gilliam’s husband arrived home from work, she found herself sick. She cringed at the thought of saying or doing the wrong thing. Gilliam grew up in an abusive home. She suffered for 17 years in an abusive marriage. The day she left, she walked away with only the clothes on her back. She shared her story of survival with 40 to 50 people at a candlelight vigil Thursday for the Family Crisis Council. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The vigil was an opportunity to remember those who have lost their lives to domestic violence and GILLIAM to support those whose lives have been affected by domestic violence and sexual assault — the survivors, their families and the community. Gilliam was one of the featured speakers. The day she left, she was unable financially to take their children with her, she said, but felt they were safe because her husband never abused them, just her. When the abuse shifted to her oldest son, he left the home with only two brown paper bags containing a few belongings because it was all his father allowed him to take. Gilliam’s children are all grown and have learned the biggest lesson

The Family Crisis Council of Rowan County put up wooden cutouts to represent victims of domestic violence. she taught them — to break the cycle. That was the message she shared with those gathered on the front steps of the Rowan County Courthouse on North Main Street. “There are people to help,” she said. Gilliam lived in Maryland at the time and received support from an agency similar to the Family Crisis Council. “Education is knowledge and education is power,” Gilliam said. She read from a poem she wrote about surviving abuse. Katishia Chambers, who survived an abusive relationship and received support from the Family Crisis Council, said, “I am mainly here to celebrate that I am still

alive.” She received financial help and support from the Family Crisis Council staff. She said they saved her. Chambers received additional support from her co-workers at PGT Industries. She said she was also standing in memory of a childhood friend who was killed in Concord on Saturday in a domestic situation. Tianna Byrd, 9, attended the ceremony with her mother and siblings. “I’m here to recognize people who have survived through it and who have died,” she said.

Man charged with violating sex offender law Staff report

A 72-year-old registered sex offender has been charged again after authorities say he made advances toward a juvenile boy. Coy Daniel Sheets of 840 Ernest Miller Road is charged with sex offender registration violation and misdemeanor sexual battery. He has posted bail. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office sent out a press release about the arrest Thursday. Sheets pleaded no contest in 2006 to charges he took in-

decent liberties with three boys. Recently, the Sheriff’s Office received information from a concerned SHEETS citizen that Sheets had been seen with a young man who appeared to be under 18. Under the state’s sex offender laws, Sheets is not allowed to be alone with underaged subjects. According to the Sheriff’s Office, investigators conToday’s forecast 65º/34º Mostly sunny

firmed the report and talked to the juvenile. He told investigators of incidents in which Sheets made unwanted sexual advances and touched him in a sexual manner. Sheets was arrested at home Wednesday evening and posted bond, which was set at $20,000. In the earlier incidents, Sheets was charged for offenses that occurred between June 2002 and February 2004. The victims were three boys, ages 15 and younger, whom Sheets invited to his home to do odd jobs or play pool. After earning

Sheets was arrested in 2004, charged with 19 charges of taking indecent liberties with children. He entered his no-contest plea in December 2006. Superior Court Judge Larry Ford ordered him to serve four consecutive sentences of 16 to 20 months in prison, suspending those sentences for a three-year probation period and 45 days of house arrest.

Don’t forget to take a light if you’re out trick-or-treating BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

From masked monsters and mummies to pretty princesses, local law enforcement wants everyone in Rowan County to have a safe Halloween, including those not participating at all. Motorists should watch for children darting out from parked cars, walking on roadways and around driveways. Flashlights and glow-inthe-dark items are always a good thing to have once the sun sets, for the trick-ortreaters and for those driving through neighborhoods. Little ghouls and goblins need to not only be aware of traffic, but also be alert when they approach homes asking for candy: • Make sure an adult is with each group • Plan and discuss the route the trick-or-treaters intend to follow, and plan a return time. • Stop only at homes or apartment buildings that are well-lit. • Never enter a stranger’s home. • Walk, don’t run, from house to house. • Walk on sidewalks and walkways, never on the road or through yards. Trick-or-treaters should also wait to eat their candy when they return home so that parents can go through the

items, checking to make sure candy is unopened and fruit is OK to eat. Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten said he hopes parents think of all the safety measures this Halloween, from costume design and accessories to candles in the jack o’ lanterns. “Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment, and following some common sense practices can keep events safer and more fun,” he said. “The major damages are not from witches or spirits, but rather from falls and pedestrian and car crashes.” Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said residents should also consider attending Halloween events at churches or places holding Halloween carnivals. “Many of these encourage participants to dress up, and provide for a controlled and safe environment in which to enjoy the evening,” Collins said. “Halloween can be a fun time for everyone, however, this event can also result in tragedy if basic safety practices aren’t followed.” Collins said the police department sees an increase in intoxicated drivers over the Halloween holiday, and he encourages anyone who will be drinking to designate a sober driver for the evening. “It is my hope that everyone will have a safe and enjoyable time this Halloween,” he said.

Board of Elections tweaks how it will tally second- and third-place votes in court race running for the seat. Voters are ranking their top three candidates. If no candidate receives a majority as the top choice, second and third choices are counted to get a winner. Last month, the board decided second and third choices would have to be counted by hand in 24 counties that use electronic voting machines, using the register tape generated by each electronic vote. Optical scan ballots used elsewhere still will be run through their usual tabulation machines. The board also agreed to increase the number of precincts where ballots would

be audited after the Nov. 2 election to ensure the Court of Appeals election was counted accurately, deputy elections director Johnnie McLean said. Election reform advocates critical of instant runoff voting argue there’s no certified software to count ballots with ranked candidates and that counting mistakes are possible. The second- and thirdplace ballots wouldn’t be counted until after the state board verifies the first round of results in late November. Three contested races for Court of Appeals and one for Supreme Court also are on the ballot using traditional onechoice voting.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A karate instructor used the promise of riches to lure a group of armed men dressed as ninjas to rob and kill a wealthy Florida couple while their nine specialneeds children cowered or slept nearby, jurors concluded Thursday. The Pensacola panel of 11 women and one man deliberated about five hours before finding Patrick Gonzalez Jr. guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of home-invasion robbery for leading the July 9, 2009, attack on Byrd and Melanie Billings. Some 25 family members in the courtroom hugged and wiped away tears after the verdict was read. They included the Billings’ daughter Ashley Markham, who, along with her husband, are raising the children, who were between 4 and 11 when their parents were killed. Gonzalez did not react to the verdict and as deputies fingerprinted him before leading him away, he did not appear to acknowledge the family. Lawyers whisked the family out of the courthouse without speaking to reporters. Gonzalez, 36, a father of six, faces a sentence of death or life in prison. Jurors will decide today. The men with Gonzalez that night testified that he told them that a safe in the home contained $13 million that Byrd Billings obtained by working for the Mexican mafia. The invaders did make off with a safe but it contained nothing of value. A second safe that they missed contained $164,000, court records show. Prosecutor John Molchan during closing arguments said Gonzalez conceived the plan.

Byrd Billings, 66, was shot multiple times in the head and legs.

“Leonard Patrick Gonzalez is the man who had his hand on the gun and his finger on the trigger. He is the man who fired the shots that killed Mr. and Mrs. Billings,” Molchan said. But defense attorney John Jay Gontarek told the jury the gun used to kill the couple was not linked to Gonzalez by DNA evidence. He said the complicated web GONZALEZ of self-serving defendants involved in the home-invasion does not lead back to Gonzalez as the ringleader. “The Billings deaths are tragic. It would be equally tragic if someone who really was innocent was sent to prison or even executed,” he said. A co-conspirator who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for his role in the botched robbery and killings testified that Gonzalez shot Byrd Billings in each leg, demanding to know where the money was kept and then turned the gun on his wife when she said she couldn’t remember the safe combination.

State Bar panel works on language to keep anti-gay biases in check RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina State Bar panel approved language Thursday designed to encourage the more than 20,000 lawyers they regulate to keep personal biases out of their practices, including in their dealings with gays and transgender people. The Bar’s Ethics Committee voted 19-9 in favor of changes to the preamble of their rules of professional conduct to add language stating lawyers shouldn’t discriminate while working. The provision contains “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in a list of eight characteristics that shouldn’t lead to biased conduct. The change, which could receive final Bar approval today, is a standard attorneys should aim for and cannot be used to punish a lawyer, according to proponents of the change that initially came to the Bar a year ago. Attorneys and outside groups have written many letters to the Bar on the topic. “We don’t want to see people discriminated against based on whatever your classification is,” law professor and committee member Phyliss Craig-Taylor said during a nearly hour-long debate. “This is not about condoning behavior.” Opponents argue the change discourages them from refusing to represent gays and lesbians on moral or religious grounds — such as when a same-sex couple wants to adopt a child — or by forcing them to accept clients of which they would have a hard time representing vigorously. “This is perceived by many members of the Bar as a limitation on (their) inherent right to determine who their clients are going to be, and what cases they’re going to take,” said board member Robert Detwiler of Jacksonville. “That’s what we say to young lawyers: ‘Don’t take cases you don’t believe in.’ ” The proposal says: “While employed or engaged in a professional capacity, a lawyer should not discriminate on the basis of a per-

University leaders stood by Bassett’s freedom to speak, teach, and publish even though some of the state’s top political leaders attacked the professor. “Washington’s visit to North Carolina received front page coverage in many of local newspapers and in publications across the nation. Reporters followed Washington in a manner much like the president of the United States during that era. The Salisbury encounter with Vice President Sherman on Saturday, October 29, 1910 was especially newsworthy.” As a part of the Durham County Library’s Humanities Series, educator Eddie Davis will present a talk that will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Booker T. Washington visit to Durham. This program will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Hayti Heritage Center, which served as St. Joseph’s Church in 1910 — the exact location of Washington’s 1910 speech in Durham. The Hayti Heritage Center is located at 804 Old Fayetteville St., Durham.

NEWTON (AP) — The father of a missing North Carolina girl is free after posting bond on charges unrelated to his daughter’s disappearance. Adam Baker, 33, arranged for a bondsman to post his $7,000 bail, Catawba County Sheriff Chief Deputy Coy Reid said Thursday. Baker was arrested Monday on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, failure to return rental property, writing worthless checks and other charges. Hours before Baker’s release Wednesday evening, police announced that searchers found a prosthetic leg they think could be the one worn by 10-year-old cancer survivor

son’s race, gender, national origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. This responsibility of nondiscrimination does not limit a lawyer’s right to advocate on any issue.” The language also doesn’t eliminate Bar rules that allow lawyers to refuse to represent a client that takes action the lawyer considers “repugnant, imprudent or contrary to the advice and judgment of the lawyer.” The preamble change is “not to denigrate any one’s religious views. It is not to impose an agenda on anyone,” defense attorney Brad Bannon of Raleigh told the committee. “It is to say that in the practice of law, we are not going to discriminate against anyone for any of these characteristics that exist.” The Bar’s executive committee also approved the proposal later Thursday in a voice vote. It headed to the Bar’s chief governing board Friday for a final vote. The state Supreme Court would have the last say on the changes before they are implemented, but justices have rarely blocked such changes.

Scout retraces Cornwallis’ steps for Eagle project W Troop celebrates

hen Assistant Scoutmaster Mark Lottes first mentioned it, Paul McNeely realized it wasn’t a typical Eagle Scout project. It involved history, geography, mapping, exploring and spending time with an older gentleman devoted to the task. McNeely decided he was the Scout for it, and over at least four different Saturdays he connected with Cooleemee historian MARK Aubrey WenWINEKA sil to follow the route Lord Charles Cornwallis took through Rowan and Davie counties in 1781. Along the way, McNeely, Wensil and other Scouts helping with the project documented the historic trail through GPS coordinates, overlaying trail points on a large map of Rowan and Davie counties. “We were trying to be as accurate as possible,” McNeely says. His father, Chris adds, “It was kind of like connecting the dots in some way.” In all, the Scouts and Wensil covered roughly 32 miles from the intersection of Statesville Boulevard and U.S. 601 to where Cornwallis eventually crossed the Yadkin River at Shallow Ford. “He was a big help in getting this history down, and I

A British general, Cornwallis and his forces had failed to reach the Yadkin River at Trading Ford in time to catch the smaller Continental Army forces of Gen. Nathanael Greene. Greene had arranged in advance for boats and barges, but a swollen Yadkin River proved too high for Cornwallis’ men to cross at Trading Ford. A Cornwallis unit set up on the bluffs of the Yadkin River and sent artillery shells across the river toward Greene’s camp, but they had little effect. Greene used the time to push on toward Abbotts Creek, and he eventually would meet Cornwallis’ forces at Guilford

Courthouse. Meanwhile, Cornwallis briefly occupied Salisbury, replenished his forces’ provisions and left on the morning of Feb. 6, 1781, headed toward today’s crossroads community of Huntsville in Davie County, where advance scouts had told Cornwallis he could cross the Yadkin at Shallow Ford. Wensil has always been fascinated at the thought of roughly 2,500 British soldiers and men and women loyal to England making that trip through Rowan and Davie counties. In the past, he and friend Terry Dedmon spent years looking for traces of the old roadbed Cornwallis’ troops

Staff report Boy Scout Troop 443 of St. John’s Lutheran Church will celebrate its 85th anniversary Saturday at the church’s retreat property off Leonard Road and Mockingbird Lane. The event, including lunch, will run from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Four boys — Benton Kribbs, Brandon Lottes, Paul McNeely and Walt Waggoner — will be receiving their Eagle Scout awards, bringing the total of Eagle Scouts from Troop 443 to 110 over its history. The troop has had 10 Eagle Scouts this year alone. Henry Trexler, who has been Scoutmaster of Troop 443 for 30 years, has had 76 Eagle Scouts during his tenure. Troop 443 is the largest troop in Rowan County with 61 members and 40 adult leaders, according to Trexler. He credits the program’s success to a great Cub Scout program under the leadership of Dave Roof and active adult leaders who take the time for advanced training. “When you have that type of leadership, it makes a difference,” Trexler says. As part of Saturday’s event, which also will mark the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts as an organization, Trexler will be handing out numerous other recognitions, including historic trail medals. The troop’s history and recognition of all of its Eagle Scouts will be included.

School board campaign spending varied among candidates Miller, Pierce, Caskey dip into their own pockets BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Richard Miller, Craig Pierce and Mike Caskey have each invested more than $2,000 out-ofpocket in their campaigns for a spot on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education. According to third-quarter campaign financing reports filed through Oct. 25, Miller’s expenditures so far total approximately $7,115, which is more than either of his opponents for the North seat. Pierce reported

spending $5,875, and W.F. Owens spent less than $1,000. Caskey is the leading campaign spender in the race for the South seat. His campaign expenditures total about $2,099, while L.A. Overcash and Troy Rushing Jr. each spent less than $1,000. The three candidates for the West seat, Donna Ferguson Hogue, Kay Wright Norman and Eric Trail, did not submit finance reports. Candidates who raise or spend less than $1,000 on their campaign do not have to submit

a report under state law. Nevertheless, Jean Kennedy, running unopposed for the special district seat, reported spending $1 on a service charge at the State Employees Credit Union during the third-quarter and receiving $199.46 to date in loans. Miller’s campaign has received $6,000 in loans that he contributed. He is the only candidate to report receiving individual contributions, including $1,000 from his mother, Lois S. Simone; $200 from teacher Monda Griggs; and $100 from optometrist Dr. Michael Farris. Individual contributions to Miller total $1,350. Third-quarter campaign ex-

The Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board will not distribute any profits the county this quarter, because there is no net profit to give. Board Chair Linda Lowman said after Thursday’s meeting that the system actually saw a deficit of $20,676 this quarter. Much of that is due to a down payment of $28,000 to replace the roof at the main office building, she said. Construction began in September after heavy rains caused water damage inside the building. It is scheduled to be finished next week. The total cost of the roof is $66,000, and the remaining $38,000 will be paid next quarter. That expense, along with poor sales at two stores that opened in 2007, could mean the system will have zero net profit next quarter as well. “The plain fact of the matter is that the Highway 73 stores are losing money on a regular basis,” Lowman said. “We’re trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, because they’re what we call ‘baby stores.’ But the bottom line is we’re losing money.” The board also is locked into long-term leases that don’t expire until 2012 (for the Gateway Center store in Kannapolis) and 2017 (for the Renaissance Square store in Davidson).

Commissioners speak to seniors during forum BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Candidates for county commissioner spoke to approximately 40 senior adults Thursday afternoon about issues that directly impact their lives. The forum, held at Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, was sponsored by the Rowan County Council on Aging and moderated by its president, Bob Bruce. First, Bruce asked the candidates what the county can do to prepare for the large increase in the older adult population over the next 20 years. Jim Sides, a Republican and former county commissioner, said the county should continue to fund its Department of Social Services and Division of Senior Services, but he cautioned that it wouldn’t be easy. “As a county commissioner, the only way we can allocate funds is to take away money from somewhere else or additional money from everybody else,” Sides said. “Everything we spend is tax money.” He said there are some nonprofits the county funds that he thinks it shouldn’t, but Rufty-Holmes is not one of them because it provides a very important service. Chad Mitchell, a Republican running for his third term, said he has supported the funding of DSS, senior services and Rufty-Holmes. He said the county does a good job meeting the needs of its senior adults with transportation, nutrition and in-home care services, and it needs to be ready to expand those services in the future. “I think we have the infrastructure in place to provide for the aging population, and we need to be prepared to expand that when necessary,” Mitchell said. Bill Burgin, a Democrat and former Salisbury city councilman, said the county should promote preventative care and encourage older adults to exercise and walk if they can. “To me, the number one way for us to help solve the problem is to increase the tax base... in order to have more dollars available to us,” Burgin said. Leda Belk, a Democrat and former county commissioner, agreed that bringing jobs to the county and increasing the tax base is an important priority. She said she doesn’t want to cut anyone else to give to seniors, and she doesn’t think seniors want that either. She said community members can help by stepping in to assist senior adults. “We need to encourage people to start looking out for your neighbors,” Belk said. “Go spend some time with them, go visit them and go see what their needs are. Government may not have all answers.” Jon Barber, a Republican running for his second

More names drawn in car giveaway BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

In 2003, when Pillowtex closed and many lost their jobs, Jeanie Moore saw the impact. Many of the unemployed were family, neighbors and family friends. “I saw faces of people I knew. It really brought that home to me how important it was to be a part of the United Way and their outreach. I was able to see the value that it brought to community,” Moore said. Moore, who works at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, has been a regular United Way contributor for more than 20 years. Just this week, she found out her name was pulled and she’s in the running for win a car through the campaign. “The fact that my name

SENIORS FROM 4a term, said the county needs to plan for the future by increasing the county tax base and supporting senior meal sites and other programs. Barber cited his own push to increase funding to Rufty-Holmes in the past two year to avoid a reduction in operating hours, programs or personnel. He said he also has been a “big advocate” of senior services and the Council on Aging, and he worked to help set up transportation for senior adults in the eastern part of the county. Bruce also asked the candidates what the county should do to assist older adults with living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. Sides said he doesn’t know what the county can do, but helping seniors live independently at home saves them money and enhances their well-being. He said the issue is important to address, but said “everything costs money” and suggested that the county actively seek grants to fund its programs for senior citizens. Mitchell said two big concerns with seniors living in their own home are household costs and home care. The county already is providing programs like assistance with heating bills and senior meals, he said, but it should strive to educate more people about them. Burgin said the county already has programs in place to help with transportation, food and medical assistance. “Another thing I think could help is to have our facilities ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant,” he said. “That’s seriously important.” He said building a social network should be encouraged for older adults, so they have someone to talk to and check up on them if they’re not well. He noted that Rufty-Holmes helps provide that. Belk said as a commissioner, “you support senior services and DSS, and you encourage staff to go out and look at grants and any additional funding out there to assist in those needs.” She said the county could look at helping provide older adults with an emergency alert button to wear. Also, she said the sheriff’s office should have a list of seniors that they call every day to ask how they are. Barber said the county

was draw — it’s fun and exciting, but that’s not why I give. I give because of the difference it makes in other people’s lives, not for the difference it makes in mine,” she said. When Moore received the phone call from Jackie Harris, United Way campaign and marketing director, she was surprised. “That was the last phone call I expected,” Moore said. She believes that if she had not gotten a phone call, surely someone from the college would have. “I’ve tried to be a good steward and make it a priority for my giving,” she said. She said it’s important to continue to support organizations like the United Way. She feels her contribution goes much further “because of the leadership and efforts does have a program called “Are You OK?” that is handled through the 911 system, but there are very few people in its database. “Information distribution to senior citizens is probably one of the most critical things we can do,” he said. “A lot of people are not aware of what assistance programs are available through DSS and senior services.” Finally, the candidates were asked what they think about restructuring the county’s Senior Services Division after the Nov. 30 retirement of director Clyde Fahnestock. County Manager Gary Page will present proposals Monday to the Rowan County Board of Commissioners regarding possible changes to senior services and DSS. Currently, senior services operates out of the Rufty-Holmes building and is separate from DSS. “I will not vote to make a change if it’s going to hurt the senior services division in any way, shape or form,” Barber said. Belk went a step further and said she would not vote to change anything unless she had proof it would benefit senior citizens. She said the current arrangement allows the division to work closely with senior citizens. Burgin said he would consider it as long as the quality of services was not diminished. He said the county shouldn’t make changes just because the opportunity presents itself but, to make government more efficient and effective. Mitchell said he typically favors restructuring, but only when it produces a cost savings and doesn’t result in a reduction of services. “If restructuring would expand service provision, that’s a good thing,” he said. “I don’t want to get locked in and say I want senior services to remain here and want them to have their own director without consolidation.” Sides said he would consider restructuring as long as it wouldn’t negatively impact senior adults. A more efficient government is good for everyone in Rowan County, he said. “If we save in one area and can redirect the savings to another area to benefit senior citizens, that’s what good government is all about,” he said. “If we don’t consolidate and make more efficient use of our resources, we’ll lose a lot more in the long run.” To learn more about the candidates, visit www.salisburypost.com and click “Political Directory.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

ABC FROM 4a “I’m sorry that we’re not able to give the county money, but we don’t have any,” Lowman said. During the meeting, Lowman asked about rescheduling the hours of its employees to reduce expenses, but manager Terry Osborne said the stores already are minimally staffed. County Commissioner Tina Hall, the county board’s liaison to the ABC board, asked about possibly reopening the Spencer store, which was closed in 2007. The board is in the process of appraising the building after losing its tenant. Another tenant has shown interest in renting the space, but board members decided to wait for the appraisal to see if selling would make more sense. “Is the Spencer town board interested in opening that store?” Hall asked. Osborne said the town manager asked to look at the store’s financial records prior to its closing, and he hasn’t heard anything since giving the manager those records. “When you look at what the store was doing, compared to

Two arrested after school fight Two brothers were arrested Wednesday after a fight broke out in the cafeteria of Henderson Independent High School. Police say the fight started as a verbal disagreement between the LCA and East Side gangs in Rowan County involving Omari Badger and Travis Vinson. The police report says Vinson told Badger he didn’t care for the LCA and taunted Badger about his affiliation with the gang. Badger began yelling, turning over chairs in the cafeteria. Anticipating a fight, the school resource officer called for back-up. Badger resisted when the officer attempted to handcuff him, and then Badger’s brother, Tyree, got involved. According to the report from the Salisbury Police Department, Tyree Badger interfered with the arrest and was held back by Assistant Principal Rodney Smith and other school staff. The report says Tyree Badger swung his fist at Smith, making contact with his face. Smith was not injured. When officers arrived, the Badger brothers were handcuffed and taken to the magistrate’s office. Omari Badger, 16, of 603 Cherry St., Salisbury, was charged with resist/ obstruct/ delay a public officer and dissome of the other Scouts “did a lot of the footwork back through the countryside where it all runs.” “It was a great help,” he adds. Wensil hopes that, with assistance from Davie County’s mapping department, he can print a final map for display purposes at historical museums and libraries in both Rowan and Davie counties. In his research, Wensil found minutes to a July 13, 1763, court session in Rowan County in which three justices directed a large party of men, including Daniel Boone and several of his relatives, to lay off and mark a

During the final report meeting in early November, the final name chosen will win a car from one of the four participating dealerships.

Later in the meeting, board member Ken Argo requested that a new agenda item be added for future meetings for discussion of new state ABC board requirements and the local board’s progress in fulfilling them. Lowman and board member David McCoy agreed. Total system sales in September were $713,000. They increased 2 percent — or $15,000 — from $698,000 in September 2009. Bottled liquor sales increased by 1 percent compared to September 2009, from about $638,000 to $646,000. Liquor by the drink sales also increased by 12 percent from about $59,000 to $66,000. Osborne said the higher liquor by the drink — or mixed beverage — sales figure isn’t because the system is making much more money on its products, but because it has gained some accounts.

Tyree Badger, 18, of the same address, was charged with assault on a school official and resist/obstruct a public officer. He was also given a $500 secured bond. Police said the LCA is not a well-known gang around town, and did not know what the letters stood for.

Crack pipe found during license check A crack pipe was found in a Salisbury woman’s purse after she attempted to escape a license check on Gheen Road, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported Thursday. Authorities said Jacqueline Pence, 23, of 220 Ellis Loop Road, turned around when she approached the checkpoint. An officer followed Pence with his blue lights on, but she did not pull over, authorities said. Pence stopped to pick up a passenger, and she took off again. She eventually stopped for the officer. The officer discovered Pence’s license was suspended, and a K9 was called to walk around her vehicle. The K9 sniffed the back of the car, police searched Pence’s purse, and a crack pipe was found. Pence was cited for driving while her license was suspended and possession of drug paraphernalia. new road between Shallow Ford and Salisbury.

Wensil said McNeely was diligent in his work, and he predicts the Scout “will appreciate it more as he looks back on it.” Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or wineka@ salisburypost.com.

Marine commander relieved of duty MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. (AP) — The colonel in charge of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point has been removed from his command after he was charged with speeding and drunken driving earlier in the week, a Marine Corps spokesman said Thursday. Col. Douglas Denn was removed by order of Maj. Gen. Carl Jensen “due to loss of confidence in Denn’s ability to command,” said Maj. Bradley Gordon, spokesman for the Marine Corps Installations East located at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville. “The relief occurred as a result of an investigation into allegations of Denn driving under the influence that eroded good order and discipline,” Gordon said.

Denn, an F/A-18 pilot, was named commander of the Cherry Point air station in August 2009.

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office says she’s ready to announce her choice to lead North Carolina’s embattled Highway Patrol. Perdue spokesman Mark Johnson said Thursday the governor will announce her pick for patrol commander today, three months after she announced first choice Col. Randy Glover was stepping down after only a year on the job. Glover’s departure came after continued reports of trooper misconduct. A panel appointed by Perdue recommended in September that she select the patrol’s next commander under current rules that make it very difficult for an outsider to be appointed to run the agency of 1,800 troopers.

NEGATIVE OR JUST SILLY?

Campaign goes postal olitiFact, an online fact-checking site operated by the St. Petersburg Times, rates the 2010 campaign as “Barely True.” Though Politifact focuses on national campaigns, the same could be said for legislative races in North Carolina. After checking hundreds of claims by Republican and Democratic candidates across the country, PolitiFact’s researchers in many instances found that most contained a grain of truth but also ignored “critical facts that would give a different impression.” Here in Rowan County, the North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee has treated voters to campaign mailers best described as absurd. In its attempt to unseat state Rep. Lorene Coates, the GOP has used photo-manipulation software to do everything to Coates but dress her up like a clown. For example, one flyer suggests she wants to keep habitual drunk drivers on the road; there she is, holding up a driver’s license. Another has her in scrubs, holding up a syringe labeled “Obamacare,” presumably getting ready to stick it to voters. The grain of truth in these instances is this: Coates voted to allow habitual impaired drivers to petition to restore their driver’s license after 10 years provided that they have maintained a clean record — not “keeping” them on the road, but allowing them back on if they have changed their ways. As for national health care reform, Coates’ connection appears to be her registration as a Democrat, the same party as the president. Coates has sent out a heavy barrage of mailers, too, but they tout her record. Theories abound about negative advertising. The negative approach certainly served the late Sen. Jesse Helms and countless others well. Carried too far, however, negative advertising can backfire. The backlash Elizabeth Dole experienced after her ads painted Kay Hagan as anti-Christian seemed to prove that point. The 11thhour ads were the Dole campaign’s Hail Mary pass, and they failed. Instead of helping Dole, they solidified support for Hagan. The GOP’s assault on Coates suggests the party might be going with a third philosophy: Some negative ads are so bad that they disgust voters and make them stay away from the polls. Thanks to predictions of great GOP gains, Republicans are more enthusiastic about the 2010 elections than Democrats and therefore more likely to vote. Any Democrat or independent who’s on the fence about going to the polls could look at these tactics, shake their heads and decide to stay home. Or voters might look at the GOP mailers and laugh. They’re ridiculous. Coates’ Republican opponent, Harry Warren, is not mentioned on the GOP mailers and has nothing to do with them, according to the small print: “Paid for by the North Carolina Republican Executive Committee. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.” Maybe so. Still, you get the feeling pictures are not the only thing being manipulated in these messages.

SALISBURY POST

uch of the current doom and gloom about jobs is based on limited thinking and a retrenchment from philosophies of growth and economic prosperity. When citizens complain that they are sending our jobs overseas, it is clear they know nothing about businesses. Unlike a small business, corporations are not generally owned by indiADA viduals but are FISHER in the hands of shareholders, which may include individuals, pension plans such as those for governmental employees and teachers unions, etc. The government doesn’t own these companies and has no right to commandeer them except during times of war. The object of most corporations is to make money so that shareholders benefit, pension plans can provide for retirements and the economy prospers at some level. Corporations talk about human capital, but the bottom line for all successful companies is making a profit. Paying a living wage, shelling out for benefits and

generous pension plans all can affect the bottom line, making companies seem heartless when in reality they are trying to stay in business. Small businesses generate over 50 percent of the jobs and get few of the breaks of larger companies. Those which stick around are too often just shoved aside in the courtship for new businesses. Making a marketable product and selling that product at a profit is the object of a business, not necessarily giving people a job. Outsourcing to other nations is a means to find a cheaper labor market, and no sane company is going to pay $20 an hour for a job that other nations are willing to allow being done for $4 an hour. Resources to make the product must be affordable, so unfortunately many cut corners here. Others seek refuge in the arms of nations without the regulations to cut them off. If the product made isn’t competitive pricewise, the consumer flees or flocks to the Walmarts of the world which are forcing small businesses out, buying overseas and unfortunately being allowed to monopolize diverse markets from banking to grocery stores to pharmaceuticals and other service courts which smother local businesses.

So why are people complaining when they buy on the cheap or drive around in foreign made cars throwing American workers in the junk heap? America can make it work with a “Jobs Race” just as we launched the “Space Race” of the 1960s. • Dive into the rivers and oceans of the world to define food resources (algae is already used in ice cream), produce energy from the waves of the ocean (Kepler Buoy), become more proficient in waste management, cultivate fresh water resources with desalination technologies and create opportunities from the depths of the earth. Managing safety issues will be the challenge, but such opportunities are limitless. This creates jobs for varying skill levels which can’t be shipped overseas. • Stabilizing the federal infrastructure should be done immediately and with presently unspent, not new, stimulus monies designated for such. Each state should minimally receive $1 billion to fix federal bridges and then roads to ensure public safety. This expands the blue collar base. • Vocational education needs investment back to the ninth grade, where students begin dropping out.

TO THE

• The energy grid needs attention and could also benefit from $50 billion of existing monies. • The Obama Administration’s redefining of NASA’s role seems boneheaded, for it is not our mission to provide Islamic nations a piece of that action. Space is a venue for technological growth, meteorological investigations and explorations to bravely go where no others have gone in an effort to find our roots as well as protect the earth from incoming bodies. These are just a few of the opportunities available to help the nation and keep jobs in the country using federal monies to stimulate private sector enterprises in creating jobs. Tax cuts would also help since businesses don’t really pay taxes; they are going to pass the cost on to the consumer, giving us another hidden tax. Turn off reality television and get into real life. Let’s figure out what the nation needs and provide the resources to do as the cable guy advises to just “Get ’er done.” • • • Dr. Ada Fisher of Salisbury is N.C. Republican National Committeewoman and formerly served on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education.

EDITOR

How much does it take to be rich? Regarding the recent article about the 8th District U.S. House race: I saw no reference in thia article about the repeal or continuance of the so-called Bush tax cuts involving those making $250,000 or those making less. I find it incredulous that this topic was not brought up before the candidates, or was somehow omitted from the article altogether. Recently, I read an iterview in the Charlotte Observer where Harold Johnson is in favor of extending the tax cuts for all, and then he said he did not consider anyone who made $250,000 to be “rich.” Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary does not attach a monetary figure to the definition of rich. I wish some local pollster would undertake this and put the results in the paper, then we will have an idea of what the public opinion says about “richness.” — W.L. Poole Salisbury

Too few responses At church I received a pamphlet titled “Voter Guide, General Election 2010.” It was described as an impartial, nonpartisan look at North Carolina candidates. I was encouraged by the title and thought it was just the information I was looking for help to determine who would be the best person to vote for. Imagine my disappointment when so many candidates did not fill out the forms that ask pointed questions on how they stood on issues important to N.C. voters. I decided to take a quick count on the response of the candidates according to party lines. For the U.S. House of Representatives: nine Republicans and two Democrats answered. For the U.S. Senate, one Republican and no Democrat. For the N.C. Senate: 48 Republicans and 29 Democrats. For the N.C. House of Representatives: 78 Republicans and seven Democrats. I didn’t count the ones who didn’t answer, but a quick look at the pages showed most Democrats did not, for some reason, return their questionnaire. This to me indicates they are afraid to let voters know exactly where they stand on the issues in this survey. I believe this type of information is important and if all the candidates’ views are not available in this type of publication, then it is not worth circulating to the voters of North Carolina. — Wilbur K.

Wagoner for judge I have known Mrs. Anna Mills Wagoner for the past 20 years and would like to enthusiastically endorse her to become our next Superior Court judge for District 19C. I remember my days as a high school principal, which regretfully required me to occasionally appear in district court for student cases. Judge Wagoner’s courtroom was always conducted in a highly professional manner. As the judge she was extremely organized, well-prepared, compassionate and strict. She earned the respect of all stakeholders and exhibited strength and a genuine commitment to the law. Following her tenure as a district court judge, Anna Mills Wagoner served as the U.S. Attorney for North Carolina’s Middle District, including Rowan County. This position has allowed her to gain even more valuable experience and knowledge to help as a Superior Court judge. Rowan County is fortunate to have a candidate with the vast array of qualifications that Anna Mills Wagoner displays. She has been extremely active in our community. One example of her leadership was

gaining cooperation of local, state and federal law enforcement to establish a much needed Meth-Watch Program in Rowan County. This program allows monitoring of sales of pseudoephedrine and other precursor chemicals that are used to make homemade methamphetamine. Our county is now recognized as a leader in fighting illegal meth labs. Based upon her experiences, knowledge of the law and commitment to fairness, I believe Anna Mills Wagoner is clearly the best choice to preside over our Superior Court. I am confident she will be energetic, efficient, resourceful, fair and firm. Join me in voting for her as the first choice for Superior Court judge to help keep our community safe for everyone. — Dr. Alan King Salisbury

Her name is Brandy Cook. Brandy Cook is the only candidate to have tried, and won, several first-degree murder trials, the pinnacle of the profession for a district attorney. A dedicated assistant district attorney, she is an experienced litigator, loyal to her

Impeccable record Everyone has heard the expression “why beat around the bush? Just say what you mean, and mean what you say.” That is what I intend to do. I have cast my vote for Brandy Cook for district attorney of Rowan County, and I hope you will do the same. Brandy has been an assistant district attorney for 10 years, and her record is impeccable. Brandy is a lady in every sense of the word and has conducted herself with integrity and professionalism, both in carrying out her duties as an assistant district attorney in the courtroom as well as during the current campaign. If you have not yet met Brandy Cook, ask someone who has. She is smart, highly skilled, courteous and tough on crime. I ask you to join with me and vote for Brandy Cook as the district attorney of Rowan County. — Charles Alfred “Al” Hoffman Sr. Salisbury

These are the final endorsement letters that will be published before the election.

Five on ballot in Cabarrus; only four seem to be running BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

Two Democrats and three Republicans are contending for three seats on the Cabarrus Board of Commissioners. Chairman Jay White is seeking re-election. Commissioners Grace Mynatt and Coy Privette are not running. One of the five candidates, however, has not been accessible. Attempts by the Post to contact Rick Brown of Concord, one of the two Democratic candidates, by phone and e-mail were not successful. Media reports during the primary stated that Brown holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Holy Cross College and a master’s degree in public administration from Sul Ross State University. He does not appear to have held office previously. James Dudley, second vice chair of the Cabarrus County Democratic Party, also tried to contact Dudley, but was unable to do so. Dudley said he did not have any verifiable information about why Dudley could not be reached. But Dudley said his impressions of Brown were positive, although he stressed he was not authorized to speak on Brown’s behalf. In previous media reports, Brown is reported to have supported tax incentives to attract businesses to the area, as well as increasing the public’s involvement in the budget process. Larry Burrage, 70, is a Republican and a newcomer to politics. He’s an electrical contractor with L&L Electric Service,

Concord. “I think our main issue right now is jobs,” Burrage said. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Gulf Coast Bible College of Houston, Texas. He wants to see the county work closely with the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation to attract more businesses. There has been tension between county commissioners and the EDC over that agency’s effectiveness and a plan to cut its funding by as much as 50 percent. “I think that a lot of misunderstanding went on,” Burrage said. “I think they (the county) just asked for some accountability.” Burrage also said that local government also needs to reduce regulations that place a burden on local businesses. For example, he mentioned unified development ordinances that require companies to spend money on landscaping. “They could give a businesses a year or two to get established” before they have to meet that particular legal requirement, he said. In addition, he wants to see taxes kept low on businesses and residents alike. “What we really need to do, we need to get industry into Cabarrus County. We need

moderate, slow growth on residential.” What best qualifies him for the job, Burrage said, is the fact he’s not a politician. “I have common sense,” he said. “I’m running for my greatgrandchildren. I’m not running for myself. I don’t want to leave them in debt,” Burrage said. Jim Fulton, 48, is a Concord Democrat also seeking his first political office. He is an architect at Lorenz Architecture in Concord. From his perspective, the key to Cabarrus’ success is responsible growth and planning. “It seems like an odd thing, I guess, to contemplate now since the economy is not doing well,” Fulton said. “But the way that we grow, the way that we decide to organize ourselves, establishes the infrastructure cost for maintaining those communities.” Fulton holds a bachelor’s degree in English from State University of New York-Albany and a master’s degree in architecture from SUNY-Buffalo. He said that good planning for future growth will help keep costs and taxes low. This will have a ripple effect in the community, he said.

MEASMER

WHITE

There’s already support, Fulton said, for local food production and maintaining a strong agricultural base in Cabarrus County. “We’ll be encouraging folks to buy local, to keep the money that Cabarrus County residents spend here in the county,” Fulton said. That won’t replace “smokestack industries” like Philip Morris, he said; he advocates partnership with the EDC to draw larger employers. Fulton, too, sees his lack of political office as a plus. “The reason I got involved is you need to be cynical about politics and about the political process,” Fulton said. “If you have a community that has clean air, has clean water, has green space, and has walkable neighborhoods – all of that has an appeal of its own,” Fulton said. Another political newcomer’s youth has attracted support in the race: 23-year-old Republican candidate Chris Measmer wants to see the economy grow through common-sense measures focused on local development. Measmer graduated last year from George Washington University with bachelor’s degrees in political science and in history. Along with his parents, Rex and Molly Measmer, he

is part-owner of the Wayside Family Restaurant in Concord. “Just as in the primary, the main issue is jobs in the area,” Measmer said. “Until we see policies turned around in D.C. and Raleigh, the economy is pretty much going to stay where it is.” Regarding the EDC: “I’m pleased that they’ve started working together with one another again,” Measmer said. “I think it’s important for Cabarrus County to have a strong commitment to the EDC to recruit businesses into the area.” Measmer said his greatest asset is his ability to bridge different groups in Cabarrus — older residents and younger ones. He understands the need to preserve Cabarrus’ agricultural heritage and said he will work to do so. At the same time, Measmer said it was important to have urban areas with the amenities of city life that younger residents expect. “Young people want more businesses brought in, more things to do,” Measmer said. “I think I’m a good bridge between those two. I understand where the community is coming from. But I also understand the idea of growth, and how a community progresses.” Measmer sees the recession as a negative event, but also as “a good time for the county to stop and see how growth affected Cabarrus County.” Commission Chairman Jay White, 46, is seeking his second term on the board. He is an attorney with Hartsell and Williams, P.A.

He’s confident headed into Tuesday’s election. “I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from a lot of different people,” White said. And while White said he does not see himself as a career politician, he counts his experience and leadership on the board as benefits to the county. White holds a bachelor’s degree in management from Guilford College (1986) and graduated from Campbell Law School in 1991. The biggest issues he hopes to help the county address are job growth and the changing economy. “I’m very concerned about unfunded mandates being pushed down to us at the county level,” White said. For example, school funding and the expanding Department of Social Services. “They (the state and federal governments) will require us to do more with less,” White said. That requires leadership and openness on the part of local officials, he said, so voters know what is happening and how decisions are being made. White said he wants to continue the work the county is doing to grow jobs and attract industries to Cabarrus.

Psychiatrist, boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith convicted LOS ANGELES (AP) — A boyfriend and two doctors who were part of Anna Nicole Smith’s inner circle in her final days and were charged with enabling her prescription drug use were acquitted of most drug charges Thursday. But two were convicted of conspiring to use false names to get her prescriptions. Howard K. Stern, Smith’s boyfriend-lawyer, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, her psychiatrist, were convicted of conspiring to get the former Playboy model and reality TV star painkillers and sedatives. Prosecutors contended during the nine-week trial that the defendants were dazzled by Smith’s glamor and filled her demands for prescription drugs to protect their insider status in her personal life and her celebrity world. Defense attorneys countered by portraying the defendants as angels of mercy who were trying to help Smith cope with her chronic pain, particularly after she gave birth to her daughter by cesarean then quickly lost her 20-year-old son, Daniel, to a drug overdose. Smith eventually died of an accidental drug overdose in Florida in 2007, but the defendants were not charged in her death at age 39. The jury convicted Stern of conspiring with Eroshevich to obtain drugs through the use of a false name and misrepresentation. Eroshevich also was found guilty of using a false name and misrepresentation to obtain prescriptions for Vicodin for Smith. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, the physician who prescribed most of her pain medications, was acquitted of all charges.

BP, Halliburton knew cement could fail before rig blast WASHINGTON (AP) — Tests performed before the deadly blowout of BP’s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico should have raised doubts about the cement used to seal the well, but the company and its cementing contractor used it anyway, investigators with the president’s oil spill commission said Thursday. It’s the first finding from the commission looking into the causes of the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. And it appears to conflict with statements made by Halliburton Co., which has said its tests showed the cement mix was stable. The company instead has said BP’s well design and operations were responsible. The cement mix’s failure to prevent oil and gas from entering the well has been identified by BP and others as one of the causes of the accident.

Interest groups flooding races with campaign cash down the stretch WASHINGTON (AP) — House and Senate candidates aren’t the only ones targeted by interest groups in this year’s campaign. While they have spent at least $185 million just since Labor Day to influence voters in close congressional races, outside money is pouring at similar rates into state elections for governors and down the ticket to city councils and even local sewage boards. In just the past seven weeks, nonparty groups have spent at least $100 million on ads and getout-the-vote efforts supporting or opposing specific candidates in state and local races, according to a state-by-state review by the Associated Press. The actual total is probably millions higher because there is no way to find out exactly how much was spent.

In California, mass mailings went out to voters in local sanitation district races from an arm of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Los Angeles, District Council 36. In Iowa, the Everyday America PAC has been financing automated phone calls urging voters to remove three state Supreme Court justices and two Polk County judges for allowing gay marriage.

FBI says suspect in subway plot was eager to become a martyr WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pakistani-born suburban father was trying to enlist in a terrorist organization in January and was eager to become a martyr when he unknowingly walked into an FBI sting and began helping plan a purported attack on the Washington subway system, according to court documents. What followed was an elaborate ruse in which Farooque Ahmed was given intelligence-gathering duties and coded information in a Quran by two individuals posing as al-Qaida operatives as part of the supposed plot to kill commuters. Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., was caught on FBI surveillance video discussing his firearm, martial arts and knife skills and offering to teach those deadly tactics to others, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed Thursday. Ahmed was arrested Wednesday, just weeks before, the FBI says, he planned to make the annual religious pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The case represents the latest in a recent string of would-be terrorist attacks that officials say were aided, hatched or carried out by U.S. citizens.

Actor who played Danno from ‘Hawaii Five-0’ dies at 72 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stage and screen actor James MacArthur, who played “Danno” in the original version of television’s “Hawaii Five-0,” died Thursday at age 72. MacArthur’s agent, Richard Lewis, said the actor died in Florida of “natural causes.” In a career that spanned more than four decades, MacArthur was most recognized for his role as Detective Danny “Danno” Williams on MACARTHUR “Hawaii Five-0,” which aired from 1968 to 1980. Episodes often ended with detective Steve McGarrett, the lead character, uttering what became a pop culture catch phrase: “Book ’em, Danno.” Jack Lord, who starred as McGarrett, died in 1998.

Skeleton found in China may be ancestor of sauropod dinosaurs DENVER (AP) — Scientists say they’ve found the first complete skeleton of a dinosaur that is an ancestor to the sauropod, the largest creature ever to walk the planet. The 30-foot-long skeleton, complete with skull, may help reveal the story of how the 120-foot-long, giant-necked sauropods evolved and became solely plant eaters. The bones were found in southern China, Texas Tech paleontologist Sankar Chatterjee said Thursday. He planned to present preliminary findings of the discovery Sunday at the Geological Society of America meeting in Denver.

Dozens showed up to listen to speakers at the Rowan County Courthouse.

VIGIL FROM 1a On the steps of the courthouse were silhouettes of victims from this area who have died at the hands of domestic violence. The first silhouette belonged to Kim Caldwell’s sister, Tiffany Mason, who was killed in 2002. She was shot in the head by boyfriend Jammie Parker, who is serving life in prison. The two had attended a party where Mason told Parker their relationship was over. He went into her home around 5 a.m. and shot her while she was asleep, Caldwell said. “We didn’t have a clue,” she said. Mason left behind two sons, Jeremiah, now 9, and Tyler, now 14. Caldwell cares for her sister’s children. When Mason was killed, Jeremiah was 9 months old and too young to understand. “For a long time, he’d look for his mom. He understands now. He has questions,” Caldwell said. Caldwell and her mother, Shirley Ann Mason, have attended past cere-

Kim Caldwell was among those at the candlelight vigil Thursday. monies to honor Tiffany, but had not in recent years. Shirley died last year. Caldwell was touched by this year’s ceremony. Those who gathered took 78 seconds of silence to remember all who died this year in North Carolina at the hands of domestic and family violence. The Family Crisis Council of Rowan County is a United Way member agency that operates the only domestic violence shelter in the county. It offers various services to the community, including a 24-hour crisis line, support groups and court advocacy. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-7974253.

Man with a replica weapon leads to lockdown at Texas A&M; Bush event still on schedule COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — A report of a suspected gunman at Texas A&M University had the campus on lockdown for about two hours Thursday before school officials said it was a person with a replica weapon. Campus police received a report that a person who appeared to be carrying a rifle had been seen in Rudder Tower, a building near the student union, according to the university. A&M spokesman Lane Stephenson said the suspected gunman had been spotted by a campus driver who was on his route. The situation at first raised fears of what happened last month when a student opened fire on the University of Texas campus in Austin before he eventually turned the gun on himself. A&M’s emergency notification sys-

tem sent texts and e-mails telling students, faculty and staff to remain indoors while police looked for the suspected gunman. Students reported seeing police, including SWAT team members, searched all over campus. About two hours later, students, faculty and staff were notified that there was no danger and they could resume normal activities. The university said no actual weapon had been found. About two miles away from where the suspected gunman was spotted, the university was to hold an event where former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara were hosting former first lady Laura Bush at the George Bush Presidential Library Center. Stephenson said the Bush event was set to go on as scheduled.

Giants up 2-0 BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press

BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

RALEIGH — Russell Wilson made seemingly every N.C. State 28 big play to help Fla. State 24 North Carolina State rally from a big halftime deficit against No. 16 Florida State. Then Nate Irving came up with the one the defense desperately needed Thursday night. Wilson threw a fourth-down touchdown pass to George Bryan with 2:40 left, then Irving recovered a fumble in the final minute on the Seminoles’ final drive to give N.C. State a 28-24 win in a matchup of Atlantic Coast Conference division contenders. Wilson ran for three scores for the

Wolfpack (6-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed 21-7 at the break before ending a three-game losing streak to the Seminoles (6-2, 4-1). With the win, N.C. State surpassed its victory total for last season and matched its best year under fourth-year coach Tom O’Brien. Now N.C. State enters November with a shot to win the league’s Atlantic Division and a spot in the league championship game in Charlotte. “We’ve got to go through it again,” O’Brien said. “We’re in a must-win mode each and every week, if we want to go to Charlotte.” In a game that was statistically even much of the night, N.C. State and Florida State found themselves in

russell Wilson’s arm, not his legs, were the key to N.c. state’s victory.

SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain shut Giants 9 down the Rangers 0 T e x a s Rangers with the type of suffocating pitching that put the San Francisco Giants in the World Series. Two more games like this and they’ll win the World Series. Cain pitched four-hit ball for 72⁄3 innings, Edgar Renteria homered and drove in three runs and the Giants routed the Rangers 9-0 on Thursday night for a 2-0 Series lead. Cain drew frenzied ovations from a crowd waving

Halloween-colored orange pompoms, and the Giants scored seven runs in the eighth — the biggest inning in their postseason history — a follow-up to their 11-7 win in the opener. C.J. Wilson allowed Renteria’s fifth-inning homer, then left the mound accompanied by a trainer with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand following a leadoff walk in the seventh. Juan Uribe added a run-scoring single against reliever Darren Oliver. San Francisco broke open the game as Rangers manager Ron Washington again made bullpen moves too late. Derek Holland relieved with

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER

East’s Vanhoy was a star in three sports he same winter night in 1976 he informed coach Bill Dooley he was coming to North Carolina to play football, East Rowan’s Rick Vanhoy scored 42 points in a basketball game against West Iredell. “I saw Ed Emory (the running backs coach at Clemson) MIKE LONDON in the stands,” Vanhoy said. “And I’m thinking, ‘Didn’t he get my message that I’m going to UNC.’ ” Vanhoy’s hot night broke Joe Sides’ school mark of 36 and remains East’s single-game record, although Vanhoy, now East’s assistant principal, has had to hold his breath a time or two. Alstin Vanderford and Kenan McKenzie put up 41point games. Justin Vanderford was a threat to break Vanhoy’s record every time he stepped on the floor. “I used to tell Justin I’d find a reason to suspend him if he got to 40,” Vanhoy said with a laugh. Vanhoy’s prep glory days were as good as anyone’s. As a senior, he was an All-State football player, a Shrine Bowler and an East-West All-Star. He was the county’s leading scorer in basketball (20.3 ppg) for coach Gilbert Sprinkle, and he hit .434 as a baseball outfielder for coach Phil

Time to flex those muscles Roaming the county getting ready for tonight ... f there was ever a time to flex their muscles, tonight’s the night for the Salisbury Hornets, North Rowan Cavaliers and the Carson Cougars. All three have huge statement games. Salisbury is at home against RONNIE Thomasville. GALLAGHER That’s undefeated Thomasville, the team that has beaten a first-place 1A team (at the time) Albemarle, a first-place 3A team in A.L. Brown and a second-

At North Rowan, there is renewed hope at a No. 1 playoff seed considering forfeits have dropped Albemarle and West Montgomery under the Cavaliers in the 1A YVC. West Montgomery is visiting Spencer tonight and the Warriors will be angry. Don’t forget the Carson Cougars, who have proven to be a team that will not give up. Carson could have shut it down three weeks ago after Statesville and West Rowan handed it defeats. But instead, Carson revved it up, scoring 56 and 53 points in their last two games.

I believe ’em. We consider it a tribute to our program that we get to play teams like this.” Salisbury gears up for Thomasville by playing such a tough nonconference schedule. The Hornets have lost to 3A West, 3A Carson and 4A Davie. If

Harbinson. He was Rowan County Athlete of the Year for the 1975-76 school year. His only regret from high school is he took summers off instead of playing American Legion baseball. “I’d just take a break,” Vanhoy said. “My brother (Mike) was the real VANHOY baseball player in the family. He pitched a Legion no-hitter.” Vanhoy grew up in Gold Hill, played Little League baseball, then Gray-Y basketball. He was too big to make the size limit as a youth, so he got started in football last. His first organized competition came as a seventh-grader at Erwin. “I was very lucky to have great men as coaches early on — Jack Taylor, Jerry Putnam, Oren Earnhardt, Terry Shive, Bob Fink, Jerry Mills,” Vanhoy said. “Johnny Yarbrough (a three-sport star at East) was my inspiration to be an athlete.” When he got to high school, Vanhoy was half of one of the most celebrated rushing duos in county history. Vanhoy was a big, surprisingly agile halfback, and Randy Fowler, who also starred in wrestling and track, was a tough fullback.

Common Sense says it’s all about strength of schedule hile North Rowan and Davie County are both 4-5, Common Sense tells us they have nothing in common except their records. Even the most casual football fan understands Davie is 4A and plays in the mostly city CPC, while North is 1A and plays in the mostly rural YVC. Common Sense has never actually visited Bear Creek, home of YVC school Chatham Central, but is still pretty sure it’s rural.

North and Davie don’t play each other this season — they haven’t met since 1984 — but if they did meet, a fellow named Ken Massey could predict exactly what would happen. Once a year or so, Common Sense checks out the “Massey Ratings” online, just to see what his numbers say about the local teams. Massey’s numbers aren’t slanted by perceptions or emotions. He doesn’t know who B.J. Sherrill, Shaun Warren and John Knox are.

It’s all pure numbers. His system analyzes the data and assigns a statistical ranking to all 402 footballplaying schools in North Carolina. He ranks their defenses, their offenses and their schedules and ranks each school statewide and in its own classification. The 402nd-ranked school in the state surprised me because I had no idea Cape Hatteras Secondary existed. CHS is No. 402 mostly because it’s lost not once, but twice, to 401st-

ranked Mattamuskeet, a 1A school in Swan Quarter. According to Massey’s formula, both wins by Mattamuskeet were upsets. Closer to home, West Rowan gets its due, as the No. 1-ranked team in 3A and the No. 3 team in the state, behind 4A behemoths Butler and Mallard Creek. Massey says West’s defense is 3A’s best; its offense third-best.

Pay-what-you-can baseball camp Staff report

East Rowan’s holiday baseball camps scheduled for Dec. 4 and 11 offer a new concept. Instruction will include hitting, pitching, defense and conditioning. The normal cost for the four-hour camps would be $40 per session. In this case, it will be pay-what-you can. “That’s due to the spirit of the time of year and the tough economic times,” said Derry Steedley, who has organized the camps. Steedley was a baseball and football standout at East in the 1970s and a college baseball player, and he’s been a coach at East. Derry’s sons will be instruc-

tors at the camp. Spencer Steedley, who starred for the Charlotte 49ers and is now a lefty pitcher in the Minnesota Twins organization, will work with hurlers. Ross Steedley, a current Charlotte 49er and a Rowan Legion coach, will work with catchers. Personal trainer Regi King, who has been the strength and conditioning coach for the Milwaukee Brewers, will offer conditioning drills and tips, and East head coach Brian Hightower will be involved. “This is all Derry’s idea, it’s a great idea, and I’m on board with it,” Hightower said. “Baseball can turn expensive,

with showcase and travel ball. “This won’t be expensive, but we’ll have first-class instruction, and it’s a perfect time of year for it.” The camps will be held at East’s Staton Field facility behind Granite Quarry Elementary. Camps will run from 102, with a short snack break at 12. Players are asked to bring their own snacks. Campers should wear baseball attire and bring bats. Catchers should bring their gear. Players should bring tennis shoes in case of inclement weather. If the weather isn’t cooperative, the camp will be held inside in the Granite Quarry gym.

Dupont to sponsor Gordon for 14 races Associated Press

CONCORD — Sponsorship of Jeff Gordon’s car was filled Thursday when longtime partner DuPont announced a three-year extension with the four-time NASCAR champion. DuPont has been with Gordon since his Cup debut in

1992, but the company is scaling back its commitment starting next year. It will be Gordon’s primary sponsor in 14 races. “I can’t remember what it was like to race without DuPont on board,” said Gordon. “We’ve had such an incredible ride together, and I’ve learned so much about

how DuPont applies science and innovation to make a positive difference in the world. It means a lot to me to keep it going for at least another three seasons. “DuPont has supported me throughout my Cup career, and I feel like we have more wins and championships ahead.”

Paulus to face Tar Heels Associated Press

North Carolina’s players and coaches are very familiar with one of William & Mary’s quarterbacks. Michael Paulus was a Tar Heel before transferring. Paulus, though, is only half of the equation behind center for the Tribe, and both have combined to give coach Jimmye Laycock one of the best teams in the Championship Subdivision. “Quarterback wise, I know a lot will be made of Mike Paulus,” Tar Heels coach Butch Davis said of the two-year Tar Heel, but “... we have to be prepared to see both of these guys.” As often as not, that has been how Laycock has guided his team to a 6-1 record that includes victories against defending national champion and top-ranked Villanova and fellow Colonial Athletic Association power Delaware, another of the top-rated programs in the FCS.

Callahan, who started the first four games before Paulus came on and rallied William & Mary past Maine, 24-21, is expected to start, but Paulus said he will be ready, too. “I think it’s kind of gotten to the point where I realize and maybe Callahan and the guys on the team, everyone realizes that it’s going to take both of us to do something special this year,” the junior with two touchdown passes said. “He’s won games for us, I’ve won games for us.” Callahan said he and Paulus will spend a lot of time this week watching film together, with Paulus providing any inside information about how certain players play, their tendencies and anything else of help. He also he knows that William & Mary wouldn’t look like a contender to become the fifth different team from the CAA to win the national championship in eight years if not for Paulus’ work when he was hurt.

N.c. state’s Brandon Bishop reacts after breaking up a pass.

N.C. STATE FROM 1B eerily similar positions. Both had the ball inside the 5-yard line in the final minutes, trailing and with a chance to score a go-ahead touchdown. Both opted for play-action passes. The Wolfpack executed. The Seminoles bumbled. Trailing 24-21, the Wolfpack drove to the FSU 1-yard line only to have the Seminoles stop Wilson on a pair of sneaks and stuff James Washington’s leap over the line on third down. The Wolfpack appeared ready to kick a field goal, but called timeout and sent the offense back out on the field. This time, Wilson rolled to his right on a play-action fake, then found Bryan alone near the back of the end zone for the 28-24 lead. “I think (the coaches) had a second to think about it and it was a good decision,” Wilson said. “We were at home, on the 1-inch yard line. We had to get in.” Still, Christian Ponder — who ran for a pair of scores and threw for one — nearly rallied the Seminoles, driving Florida State all the way to the N.C. State 4 in the final minute. But on the fake, Ponder extended the ball too far as tailback Ty Jones ran by. Jones bumped the ball with his hip, knocking it free and to the turf. Irving — playing through the pain of a thumb injury suffered earlier in the quarter — pounced on the loose ball at the 9 with 48 seconds left. “I can’t even describe it,” Irving said of the pain in his

right thumb, “but being a captain of the team, I couldn’t let my teammates down. So I had to suck it up and show them that I was willing to go out and fight for them.” Wilson came in leading the league at 303 yards per game, but finished with 178 yards on 18 for 28 passing against the league’s top scoring defense. Still, he capped the Wolfpack’s first drive with a 1-yard keeper for a score, then followed with a 10-yard scoring run early in the third and a 20-yard sprint up the middle midway through the period that erased the 21-7 halftime deficit and tied the game. Wilson’s winning TD toss allowed him to bounce back from an interception on a badly thrown ball around the FSU 10 early in the fourth. The Seminoles converted that turnover into a field goal for a 24-21 lead with 9:07 left. “His legs won the game,” FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It was two quarterbacks making plays, and they made one more than we did at the end.” Ponder threw for 196 yards and an 11-yard touchdown to Willie Haulstead to go with a pair of rushing scores — all in the second quarter. He also had his own critical miscue, fumbling in a collapsing pocket deep in his own end of the field to set up Wilson’s 20-yard score that tied the game in the third. “We had it in hand,” Ponder said. “We had been rolling and playing really well, and it was the first time in a while that we had control of our own destiny in the ACC.”

The NFL notebook ... ARLINGTON, Texas — Exactly 100 days before the Super Bowl, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman aren’t expecting their old team to make it. They can hardly believe it, either. “To be done before you get out of the month of October is pretty shocking,” Aikman said. Like many fans, the Hall of Fame quarterbacks were expecting big things from the Dallas Cowboys this season. They also had more than the usual reasons to root for their old club — Staubach is the chairman of the Super Bowl host committee and Aikman the vice-chair. Aikman also is broadcasting the game for Fox. But Dallas is 1-5, closer to earning the top pick in the draft than a spot in the playoffs. So instead of at least trying to become the first team to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium, they appear ready to join the worst records of the Jerry Jones era — 1-15 in Aikman’s rookie year and 5-11 in Aikman’s final season and each of the next two years. “I thought we would be more 5-1 than 1-5,” Staubach said. LOW HITS Some NFL players aren’t so certain the emphasis on eliminating helmet hits to defenseless players will make the game that much safer. They worry that other areas of the body, especially the knees, will become target areas. That could lead to a longer injury list and a whole new set of problems for pro football. “Byron (Leftwich) and I were talking about it earlier,” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “I’d rather have a concussion than a blown-out knee.

Haynesworth ‘not good enough’ for 3-4 defense Associated Press

ASHBURN, Va. — It’s unusual to hear a professional athlete say he’s not good enough. That’s how far Albert Haynesworth has sunk to keep from playing nose tackle in a 3-4 defense. “I’m not good enough to play the 3-4,” Haynesworth said Thursday. The player whose stated goal is to become the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history held his first midweek question-and-answer session this season, and it was hardly a coincidence that it took place after his best game since he signed with the Redskins last year. He had his first sack since 2009 and made a key goal line stop in Sunday’s 17-14 win over Chicago.

“Now that we’ve changed some of the things that I do, it’s helped a lot,” Haynesworth said. “I don’t have to think as much on the field — I can just go out and play.” Nearing the halfway point of the season, Haynesworth has settled into a role hardly befitting a player with a $100 million contract, happy that he’s no longer a regular part of the team’s “Okie” run packages. Instead of being the starting nose tackle — as was envisioned when the Redskins switched to the 3-4 scheme this season — he is playing mostly in nickel packages as a “three-technique” tackle who attacks at the snap of the ball, the role he had during much of his seven seasons with the Titans.

No shock: Duke preseason No. 1 Associated Press

Defending national champion Duke was a runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 men’s basketball poll. At the other end of the Top 25 there was big news Thursday with San Diego State entering the rankings for the first time ever. Duke, on top for a seventh time, has two starters returning to a roster featuring highly touted freshman Kyrie Irving and transfer Seth Curry, Stephen’s little brother. Hall of Fame coach Mike

Krzyzewski doesn’t think it’s fair to say a team is trying to repeat when there have been so many changes since the Blue Devils beat Butler for their fourth national championship. “To repeat is a bad word (to use),” said Krzyzewski, who spent the summer leading the U.S. national team to the gold medal at the world championship. “... What you want to do is have the same result, of winning the national championship, but figure out what journey you’re going to be on along the way. And so pursue is a good word for me, and develop. We’re going to be a developing team

throughout.” They’re also a team that garnered 55 first-place votes from the 65member national media panel, easily outdistancing Michigan State, which had eight No. 1 votes. Kansas State was third, followed by Ohio State and Pittsburgh. Kansas State, which matched its highest ranking since 1962, got the other two first-place votes. Pittsburgh, Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina, Florida and Syracuse round out the top 10. “Anytime a team is voted No. 1, it is an honor,” Krzyzewski said.

“We’ve been fortunate to be in that position several times at Duke, and we are appreciative when people think so highly of us. However, we have a lot of work to do to get ready for the regular season. We have a talented, but developing, team. As always, our defense needs to be constant throughout the year in order to succeed at the highest level.” Since the preseason poll began in the 1961-62 season, Duke’s seven No. 1 nods are tied with North Carolina and one behind all-time leader UCLA. The six previous preseason No. 1

Magic rips Wizards in Wall’s first game Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had Magic 112 23 points Wizards 83 and 10 rebounds to lift the Orlando Magic to an easy 112-83 victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday night, giving the NBA’s newest arena a grand opening and spoiling No. 1 overall pick John Wall’s debut. Vince Carter had 18 points and Jameer Nelson scored 16 to help the Magic cruise to another blowout victory after a perfect preseason. Wall had 14 points and nine assists — much of it in cleanup duty — on 6 for 19 shooting in his first meaningful professional game. He showed flashes of stardom but became just another spectator on an emotional night in Orlando. Not that the Magic have much time to savor the Amway Center’s opening. They get their first shot at LeBron James and the new-look Miami Heat down south Friday night. But Orlando’s warmup act

couldn’t have gone smoother. A standing-room only crowd of 18,918 even brought out Tiger Woods from his Orlando-area home — once a regular at Magic games — for the first time since his sex scandal last year. Magic AllStar center Dwight Howard took the microphone to thank fans before the game, and NBA Commissioner David Stern endured a long shower of boos before he proclaimed that there’s no arena “better than this facility in the world.” Magic owner Rich DeVos then walked to center court, a cane in his right hand and a team official balancing him on the left, and gave a teary-eyed speech seeing the Amway Center finally realized. “This is a Magic building. But it’s your community center. It’s your place for many adventures to take place,” said DeVos, 84, his voice quivering. “So we know that this place will be a place of comfort and joy, and that everybody who comes here will be honored and loved and cherished.” The Magic didn’t exactly give the same comfort to the

The NHL Roundup ... BOSTON — Tim Thomas remained unbeaten this season, stopping 20 shots to earn his second shutout and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0 on Thursday night. Rookie Tyler Seguin scored his first goal in front of the Boston crowd, and Patrice Bergeron scored his first of the season for the Bruins. Thomas improved to 5-0 with a 0.60 goalsagainst average; Tuukka Rask was in goal for the Bruins’ only two losses. Jonas Gustavsson stopped 30 shots for the Maple Leafs. Wild 2, Capitals 1 ST.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Last year’s Southern Conference tournament finalists are the choice of the league’s coaches to top their respective divisions in the upcoming season. Appalachian State and Wofford were picked on Thursday in a preseason vote of league coaches. Wofford got 10 of 12 first-place votes to lead the South Division balloting and Appalachian State earned nine first-place votes in the North. The Terriers defeated the Montaineers 56-51 last March for their first tournament championship and NCAA berth. College of Charleston senior Andrew Goudelock was picked as the SoCon’s preseason player of the year. Teammate Jeremy Simmons joined Goudelock on the 10-man all-conference preseason team. Wofford’s Noah Dahlman and Jamar Diggs were picked for the team, while Appalachian State’s Donald Sims was selected. • ROSEMONT, Ill. — Michigan State is the favorite to win the Big Ten this season and Spartans senior Kalin Lucas is the preseason player of the year, according to a vote of league media released Thursday. Ohio State was second and Purdue came in third in rankings announced at the Big Ten's annual media day. The Spartans were Big Ten regular season co-champions in 2009-10. They'll return three starters and nine letter winners from a team that went 28-9 and reached its second straight NCAA Final Four.

GOLF SAN ANTONIO — Bruce Lietzke understands the uncertainty that most players feel when a tournament moves to a new course, especially ones put together by Pete Dye. The Champions Tour will move its AT&T Championship to the famed architect's new TPC course next year in San Antonio, which means Lietzke and a field that includes Charles Schwab Cup leader Bernhard Langer will get one last shot at victory at Oak Hills Country Club this week.

TENNIS DOHA, Qatar — Caroline Wozniacki wrapped up the year-end No. 1 ranking Thursday after rallying to beat Francesca Schiavone 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 at the WTA Championships. The 20-year-old from Denmark is the 10th woman to end the season on top and the youngest since Martina Hingis in 1997. She replaced the in-

jured Serena Williams at the top earlier this month and has won more titles (six) and more matches (61) than any other player in 2010. • NEW YORK — Four-time Grand Slam champion Jim Courier was hired by the USTA to lead the country’s Davis Cup team, replacing Patrick McEnroe, who resigned last month. As a player, Courier helped the United States win the Davis Cup in 1992 and 1995, and he finished with a 16-10 record in singles, 1-0 in doubles. The Americans were 13-1 in series in which Courier played, and three times he clinched a U.S. victory in the fifth and final match. Courier was No. 1 in the ATP rankings for a total of 58 weeks in 1992-93.

OWNER NOT SORRY CLEVELAND — Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert isn’t taking back one word about LeBron James. Speaking before Cleveland’s season opener, Gilbert said he has no regrets about calling out the superstar. Shortly after James announced he was leaving for the Miami Heat, Gilbert fired off an angry letter to Cleveland’s fans vilifying James. He called him “narcissistic” and accused him of “cowardly behavior.” Gilbert told The Associated Press then that he felt James quit during last year’s playoffs. Asked if that’s how he still feels, he said, “it’s a subjective judgment.”

STUDENT ATHLETES INDIANAPOLIS — Student-athletes are earning degrees at record rates, graduate at higher rates than other students, and football players and black men’s basketball players are making big gains in the classroom, according to the NCAA’s annual Graduation Success Rate figures. The report shows 79 percent of all Division I athletes entering school between 2000-01 and 2003-04 earned a degree within six years. That matches last year’s record number.

HOCKEY RIVERSIDE, Calif.— Former Edmonton Oilers owner Peter Pocklington was sentenced to six months of home detention for making false statements in his California bankruptcy case. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips also ordered the 68-year-old Pocklington to serve two years probation, pay $3,000 in fines and perform 100 hours of community service. Pocklington pleaded guilty to a single perjury count in May.

GIANTS FROM 1B a man on and forced in a run with three straight walks, the last to Aubrey Huff, and Mark Lowe forced in another run with a walk to Uribe. Renteria, whose 10th-inning single won Game 7 of the 1997 Series for Florida against Cleveland, followed with a two-run single to left. Pinch-hitter Aaron Rowand hit a two-run triple against Michael Kirkman, and Andres Torres doubled in a run. Cain struck out two and walked two. With the Giants ahead 2-0, left-handed specialist Javier Lopez retired Josh Hamilton on a lazy flyout to strand a runner on second in the eighth. As fans stood on their feet cheering, Guillermo Mota completed the four-hitter. San Francisco improved to 11-0 against Texas at AT&T Park and got its third shutout in nine postseason wins. The Giants sent the high-octane Rangers offense to its first shutout since Sept. 23. Cain has been even sharper, pitching 211/3 innings in three postseason starts without allowing any earned

runs. Sparkling but not surprising, given the Giants led the major leagues in ERA during the regular season. Cain pitched out of trouble a few times against Texas, which went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Ian Kinsler’s drive on an 0-2 pitch leading off the fifth hit flush off the top of the fence, just to the left of the 399-foot sign in center field, bounded up and was caught by Torres, who held him to a double. At first it was unclear whether the ball had gone over the wall, but relays showed umpires got the call correct. Kinsler was stranded when David Murphy lined to shortstop, Matt Treanor grounded to shortstop and — following an intentional walk — Wilson grounded weakly to first. Renteria led off the bottom half by pulling an 0-1 pitch at the letters down the left-field line, where it landed about eight rows deep, next to an alleyway. One-out singles by Michael Young and Hamilton followed by a wild pitch put runners at second and third in the sixth. But Nelson Cruz fouled out to first and Kinsler popped out to short right.

Thomasville has been destructive, wiping out East Davidson, Central Davidson and West Davidson by a combined 153-13. Thomasville has 11 solid tacklers on defense, an exceptional kicking game and a potent offense. While the Bulldogs rely on 1,000yard tailback Quin Riley to move the chains, they have other weapons in fullback Kesean Green and receiver Sharaun Mouzone. Nelson was 9-for9 passing against Central, and the Bulldogs scored on seven straight possessions against Asheboro. Record-setting QB John Knox leads the Hornets with his wheels, head and arm, and running back Romar Morris needs 91 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. Marqui Ross will be a key blocker for Morris. William Brown is a big part of a defensive unit that’s allowed 23.3 points a game. To have a shot, Salisbury needs to hold the powerful Dogs to two TDs. — Mike London

this was college football, Salisbury would be highly thought of with this schedule in the BCS computer. “We wouldn’t be getting shunned like Boise State,” Pinyan said. • Why has Carson played so well since being dominated by West? Mark Woody says it’s a teenage thing. “They have short memories,” he said. “Coaches dwell on it a lot longer than they do. They’re very resilient. They’ve already forgotten all the bad stuff.” A lot of good stuff can happen with a win against Mark Weycker’s talented West Iredell Warriors.

Those of us who have seen Carson’s offense run wild are a little disappointed the Cougars (8-2) are ranked only 82nd in the state, but Massey has them 21st in 3A, and that seems about right. The reason Carson isn’t ranked higher by Massey is strength of schedule. He’s computed that 157 schools have played tougher schedules than the Cougars. Five of Carson’s wins are against teams his system ranks between No. 200 and No. 300 in the state — North Rowan, West Davidson, East Rowan, South Rowan and North Iredell. Salisbury, just about everyone would agree, is the county’s third-best team. Massey ranks the Hornets No. 100 in the state and 21st in 2A. Other statewide rankings include (51) A.L.

West tends to severely damage the offensive and defensive stats of every opponent. North Iredell’s lone victory came out of left field on Sept. 24 when it beat West Lincoln in a non-conference game. West Lincoln is 2A, but it’s a good team (7-2). East hasn’t tasted victory since it rallied to salvage a 21-20 victory against 1A North Rowan on Aug. 20. East had a real chance to beat Statesville three weeks ago, but the opportunities to break through have been few and far between. The schedule’s been tough. East, which has played five straight winning teams, could claim a victory on senior night if it can contain North Iredell star Matt Ramseur. It’ll be close. Maybe a Jantzen Stirewalt field goal will decide it. — M. London

for 3,172 rushing yards. Statistically, the Cougars are a fearsome crew. They’ve outrushed opponents by 2,000 yards. Carson’s defense, which includes LB Alex Lee and nose Micah Honeycutt, has held three of its last four foes to under 100 rushing yards. Tailback Shaun Warren (2,368 rushing yards, 25 TDs), fullback Jacorian Brown (494 yards, 10 TDs) and receiver Cody Clanton (49 catches, 944 yards, 10 TDs) are all-stars. Carson’s loss to West Rowan was understandable. Carson’s loss to Statesville is a little more puzzling, but the Cougars still aren’t out of the hunt for second place. West Iredell’s claim to fame is it gave West Rowan all it wanted. The Warriors may not be able to run the ball against Carson, but the air is their favorite way to travel. QB Sayer Robinson threw for 187 yards last week and receiver C.J. Gibbs is a stick of dynamite. — Mike London

“This is a special game for us,” Woody said. “It could possibly allow us to get nine wins and second place in the conference. It’s huge for these kids when you think of where they were four years ago.” Four years ago, Carson was completing its second straight 0-11 season. Now, everything’s changed. Shaun Warren is flexing his muscles for Post cameras after touchdowns, Cody Clanton is yukking it up during interviews and Woody and his coaches are enjoying every bit of it. They were loose as a goose on Tuesday when the Roaming the County camera appeared for our weekly show. “I’d like to have the Statesville game back,” Woody said. “I’d like to have the West Rowan game back. But they beat us hands down. I’m real

Davie’s schedule is ranked the state’s 10th most difficult, as the War Eagles have tangled with four teams — Page, West Rowan, Thomasville and Mount Tabor — ranked in the state’s top 50. Davie hasn’t played any team ranked lower than (164) R.J. Reynolds. According to Massey, West and East, in that order, have played the county’s toughest schedules. North’s 1A-heavy schedule is rated as the easiest in the county. North owns YVC wins against (328) East Montgomery, (337) South Stanly, (384) Chatham Central and (395) North Moore. According to the ratings, (96) Albemarle is in a class by itself in the YVC. Massey ranks the Bulldogs third in 1A. Matthews Butler is not only rated No. 1 in the state by Massey, its schedule is also deemed to be the toughest. The reason is that Butler opened the season with wins against four teams now rated in the top 20 in the state—

Jones

West Montgomery, a team that held the Cavaliers to 30 yards of offense and three first downs last season. West Montgomery is officially 5-4, but it has lost only twice on the field, on the road at unbeaten Plymouth on Aug. 28 and 28-21 to Albemarle in Mt. Gilead on Oct. 1. West Montgomery QB Jaquil Capel is fast and was a 1,000-yard rusher in 2009. Against, North, he had 98 passing yards and 51 rushing. Running back Terry Pegues is another talented athlete, who can make big plays for the Warriors. North got a huge boost last week from the return of multi-talented Sam Starks, who had to sit out one game, but the Cavaliers will need good games from everyone, including receiver/punter Terrese Barber and running back Malik Jones. North DL Javon Hargrave has an amazing 17 fumble recoveries in his career. The Cavs could use two more tonight. — Mike London

at S. Jackson

Statesville

Rivers

Memorial Stadium, and the UNCbound Riley, who hasn’t played since the opener, is expected to return to action after rehabbing knee and leg injuries. If he’s anywhere close to being himself, he’s a difference-maker and a season-changer, a 205-pound truck with leadership qualities. Even without Riley, the Wonders have done well. Steven Jackson is shining at right tackle, and Jericho Rivers is part of a defensive unit that ranks third statistically in the SPC. Brown can clinch a share of another league title with a victory. It would be the Wonders’ fourth in a row and eighth in nine seasons. It’ll be strength against strength. Brown wants to run the ball. Northwest stops the run very well. Northwest’s defense has been excellent all season and hasn’t given up more than 26 points — and that was against a West Rowan team that averages 40. A low-scoring struggle is likely. — Mike London

proud of the kids. They don’t allow some of the crap they see or hear to get them down.” To enter the playoffs with nine wins would be quite an accomplishment for a school only in its fifth year of existence. “I’ve seen a lot of football,” said Woody, who has coached in the Triangle area and at Mooresville. “Pound-for-pound, this conference here is as good a football as you’ll see in the state. And if there’s a team as good as West Rowan — in any division — I’d like to see it.” • Asked about recruiting, Woody said everything was about the same with Warren and Clanton. Western Carolina was supposed to visit on Wednesday. Catawba, by the way, has offered both. • And then, there’s 1-8 East

Charlotte Vance, Mount Tabor, Richmond County and Hibriten. Common Sense makes no rankings but had a perfect record last week and is 83-14 for the season. This week is tougher because West Rowan is off, and that one is always automatic. The picks: W. Montgomery 27, North 14 A Sam Starks-less North team wasn’t competitive in a recent showdown with Albemarle. The Cavs have a chance for redemption against a STARKS team ranked 186th in the state and 13th in 1A. A North win would likely mean a YVC title in a forfeits-marred season. Thomasville 21, Salisbury 14 Massey ranks Thomasville No. 1 in 2A and No. 17 in the state. Carson 35, W. Iredell 24

Thomas Lowe carried 13 times for 182 yards.  Last time the Greyhounds beat South: Statesville won 24-21 in 2008 and has dominated the series.

Rowan who many think will get its first win since the opening week of the season when it welcomes North Iredell — also 1-8 — to Mustang Country. It’s Senior Night and there will be plenty of emotion.

Lambert

Statesville scores 30 points a game, while South’s allowed 38 per game. That just about guarantees five Statesville TDs. Can Statesville hold South QB Mark McDaniel to fewer than five TDs? Probably. Statesville’s defense hasn’t been good statistically, but a 40-0 wipeout against West Rowan and a 4413 mashing by 2A powerhouse Lincolnton hurt the Hounds’ numbers. Statesville’s most impressive win was definitely beating Carson 41-34. Sophomore quarterback Carlis Parker, who is 6-foot-3, did most of the damage against the Cougars, rushing for 142 yards and throwing for 224. Justin Masler had five catches for 190 yards. For the season, Parker has 1,372 passing yards and 920 rushing yards. He’s a handful. While the loss to Carson was disappointing, coach Jason Rollins had praise for Ryan Atkinson and Nathan Lambert. — Mike London

VANHOY FROM 1B â&#x20AC;&#x153;Randy was a great football player,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason I was recruited a little more was I was 6-foot-4, 215 pounds. Randy was 6 feet and 190.â&#x20AC;? The East record book would look different if either had gotten the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the carries, but the load was always evenly divided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind it,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It never crossed your mind to worry about individual stats. When it was your turn, you took it. When it was the other guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn you blocked as hard as you could for him.â&#x20AC;? Fowler was Rowan County Offensive Player of the Year in 1974 as a junior. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phil Hogue, Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mark Sturgis and Salisburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leonard Atkins were prolific featured backs in that era, so Vanhoy never made all-county. Vanhoy and Fowler finished their careers with similar numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fowler with 2,361 yards in 378 carries and Vanhoy with 2,243 rushing yards in 422 carries. When they graduated, they ranked 1-2 in East history. Vanhoy actually was named to the AllState team as a defensive tackle. He played defense in the Shrine Bowl and was an offensive end in the East-West game. East endured a forfeit-scarred 1973 season, but it was NPC champ in 1974 under W.A. Cline and had another winning season when Vanhoy was a senior in 1975. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big rivalries then were Mooresville and North Davidson,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mooresville had good running backs (David Mullis and Johnny Walker), and it was kind of those two against Randy and me. We played on the old field at Mooresville, where the baseball outfield is now. I never go by there without thinking about it.â&#x20AC;? The wildest, roughest game he ever played in? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At North Davidson in 1974,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their quarterback got tackled out of bounds, right up against a fence, and fans were throwing all kinds of things. The rivalry with them was huge in every sport.â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy was an easy recruit for the Tar Heels. He grew up in a UNC household and the day he got his first recruiting letter from the Heels he was ecstatic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a done deal,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. ACC football proved an eye-opener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The freshman reported a day or two early, and I was standing there with the other running backs when we saw this huge guy walk out of the fieldhouse that looked like a body-builder,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We figured he was a nose guard or a linebacker.â&#x20AC;? He was neither. It turned out to be Billy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horseâ&#x20AC;? Johnson, a 250-pound fullback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew then I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a running back,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was going to have to change positions if I was going to play.â&#x20AC;? Linebacker seemed like an option, but then he saw Buddy Curry play linebacker.

Jackson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything. Vanhoy appreciated that silence until Jackson smashed him with a forearm to the throat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took three plays before I could breathe again,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long day.â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a star in college. He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to be. The Shrine Bowl had let him know there were people out there with more talent and more hunger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal when I went to Carolina was never the NFL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was to become a teacher and coach,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of my time there. I lettered. I got an education. I met great people.â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy got married in 1982 to East grad Crystal Gaither. Vanhoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first football job was as an assistant coach at East. Then he followed East coach John Green to Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lee Central High. He was there six years before South principal Alan King asked him to come back home to Rowan County, and he jumped at the chance to serve as defensive backs coach under Larry Deal. That led to him taking the head job at South in 1995. He served 11 years, and his 55-73 record tells only a fraction of the story. South actually enjoyed a great run from late in the 1998 season through 2001. The hard-to-swallow moment came in 2000. South swept the county and was part of a three-way tie for the CPC championship, but it lost a drawing and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go to the state playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was tough because that definitely was our best team,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy said. Vanhoy said the finest thing about his time at South was working with Deal and dedicated assistants like Tim Corriher. The hardest thing was the tragic death of assistant coach Jeff Norman. Vanhoy was West head coach for the East-West game in the summer of 2005, bringing his career full circle. He directed a 40-0 romp. After Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2005 season, he announced a career switch to administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People ask me if I miss coaching, and you do miss the relationships with the players and that excitement that comes with Friday night and the camaraderie of watching File phOtO film on Saturday after a big win,â&#x20AC;? Vanhoy Rick Vanhoy recevied a scholarship to North Carolina after a three-sport career at east Rowan. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to learn in administration is how to build relationships from an office. Vanhoy wound up at tight end. He played ball Hall of Fame last August. I try to build them in the halls and cafeteregularly as a junior before injuries Green trash-talked Vanhoy severely, inria.â&#x20AC;? wrecked his final year. formed him he was going to beat him with Vanhoy is happy out of the spotlight and He made three bowl trips and got a lot of an inside rush â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then proceeded to do just enjoys working with principal Kelly Spargplaying time against Nebraska in the 1977 that. er.

And about that 42-point night? of a game at Pittsburgh in 1978. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing is we already knew about â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone breaks it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be with The defensive ends for Pitt were AllHugh Green.

The silverling shrub is considered a trash tree and is on the watch list as a possible invasive species.

Fall blooms bring questions and beauty Many fall blooming plants are fading while others seem to enjoy shorter days and cooler nights. Below are a few questions posed by homeowners about fall flowering plants that may be of interest. Q: What is that small tree or shrub that is blooming on the roadsides and abandoned fields? It has white blooms and gets about 8-10 feet tall. A: The shrub is a silverling shrub (Baccharis halimifolia). These plants ofDARRELL ten form dense BLACKWELDER thickets in open areas along roadways or abandoned fields. Like our cultivated mums and other asters, the silverling blooms in the late fall. The plant is considered a trash tree of no economic or aesthetic value for most landscapes and has also been placed on the watch list as a possible invasive species. However, the outcast native does have some redeeming value as a salt tolerant hedge or screen in coastal or flooded areas. Q: I have a lot of mums and their blooms are spent. Can I plant those in my yard and have them bloom again next year? It seems like a waste to throw away these perfectly good plants. A: Chrysanthemums are perennial plants and will come back the next year. However, these plants need to be pruned in the summer three or four times to keep them compact

and dwarf as they are when you buy them from local nurseries and garden centers. Pruning causes the plant to produce thicker growth and more blooms. Many homeowners normally don’t take the time during the summer, allowing the plants to grow tall, lanky with fewer blooms. In most instances garden mums are sold as a throwaway plant after bloom, but, Sasquana camellia generally blooms in the fall. they will rebloom the next season if they are properly with the pruned and fertilized.

For successful over-seeding keep lawn clear of straw, leaves BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

potty rainfall and mild temperatures over the past few weeks have created the perfect environment for newly seeded, cool-season fescue lawns. Emerging seedlings need to be handled very carefully to ensure maximum growth and establishment. As careful and methodical as we may be, it’s often impossible to have complete coverage when over-seeding. Often we find gaps or bare spots in the newly seeded areas. One of the major culprits of spotty germination is too much mulch. Heavy mulch smothers emerging grass seedlings. There is still time to add more seed to areas that need reseeding for gaps or bare areas. Fescue seed will continue germinating quickly if the weather patterns continues. It is important to mow newly

emerging turf when it reaches a height of 4 inches. Make sure the mower blade is properly sharpened. Dull mower blades often have a tendency to yank new seedlings out of newly seeded or wet soils. Germinating fescue seedlings must have full sun to obtain maximum growth. Falling leaves and excess straw impedes light, producing weak, frail growth. Removal can be somewhat tricky with newly emerging turf. Use a blower or a bagger on the mower to remove leaves or excess straw without damaging roots. The unseasonable warm weather has boosted broadleaf weed growth along with the fescue. Lawn weeds such as chickRecent odd weather has brought out weed and henbit seedlings are ina new crop of lawn weeds. vading newly seeded lawns.

For many people still experiencing the effects of the recession, the coming holiday season may inspire as much anxiety as joy. Realizing that no matter what economic conditions prevail there is still much to celebrate, the Salisbury Symphony Guild is hosting “Creating the Holidays” on Saturday, Nov. 6. The program will focus on innovative and inexpensive decorating, entertaining and gift-giving without breaking the bank. Salisbury designer Tom Wolpert shares ideas for turning commonplace household items — such as marshmallows and driftwood — into magical arrangements. He’ll also introduce a new decorating secret ingredient: a tablet that creates snow when water is added. Stephen “Mr. Clippers” Baldwin, a Charlotte artist who often lends his touch to extravagant events, will bring boughs of greenery indoors and transform them into breathtaking decorations for mantles and doors to keep and to give. N.C. Extension Director and columnist Darrell B l a c k welder will complement Bald- Stephen Baldwin win’s presentation with information about seasonal gardening. There’s even new life for those vintage napkins languishing at the bottom of your dining room credenza. Jessica Moscardini, restaurateur, will show how high-end restaurants and event planners turn napkins into elegant table accessories. To add savor to the sparkle, a selection of easy-to-make festive foods are bound to become family favorites. N.C. Extension home economist Toi Degree will offer recipes (and samples) for sweet and savory appetizers that are simple and colorful, us- Toi Degree ing seasonal ingredients found in most Rowan County kitchens. Mary Berrier of the Buttercup Café will cater the gourmet lunch that is included in the price of the ticket ($40). Tickets for “Creating the Holidays” can be purchased at the Rowan County Visitors Bureau, 704638-3100, by credit card at the Symphony Office 704-637-4314 and online using PayPal, at www.salisburysymphony.org.

damage newly seeded turf. Don’t use these herbicides until the grass is well established. Well established means the turf is actively growing and has been mowed at least three or four times. Since fescue grows best in the fall and early winter, it’s best to maintain an ongoing fertilization program. The root system continues to grow as top growth slows during cold weather. Fescue turf needs about 2 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to maintain constant growth. Split applications in September, October and November are recommended to supply growing turf constant nutrition. Go to http://www.turffiles.ncsu.edu/Keywords/fertilizer.aspx for more complete information on fall fertilization for fescue lawns.

Some of the Symphony Guild’s members will be sharing their bestloved holiday recipes in a pamphlet given to workshop attendees. Here’s a delicious and easy winner that makes a great hostess gift for your favorite chocoholic.

Famous Fattening Fudge Sauce By storing the sauce in the freezer, it remains just soft enough to spoon out one small bit and lick like a lollypop. Otherwise … it’s dangerous to have around. 1 1/2 sticks butter 3/4 cups cocoa 2-3 cups sugar 1 can (13 oz.) evaporated milk dash of vanilla In a saucepan melt the butter, then whisk in the cocoa. Stir in 2 cups sugar and 1 (13 oz.) can evaporated milk. Heat over low heat until mixture loses its graininess. Add up to 1 cup more sugar to taste (the more sugar, the thicker the final product will be.) Remove from heat and add vanilla ... and as an option, 1 tsp. instant coffee or 1 Tbsp. flavored liqueur. Serve warm over ice cream. Keeps in refrigerator 4 weeks.

Spoil your holiday guests this year BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service

FROM 1C Keeps several months in freezer.

Easy appetizers Chefs Mary and Lee Berrier, proprietors of The Buttercup Café in Denton, are popular fixtures on the Salisbury entertaining scene. One of Mary’s favorite accessories for serving small portions is the inexpensive shot glass. For individual appetizers, Mary stands a stick each of carrot, celery and asparagus in 2 tablespoons of dip … or two jumbo shrimp in 2 tablespoons of cocktail sauce. For individual desserts, Mary uses the shot glasses to hold small parfaits or trifle (layers of cake, custard and fruit topped with whipped cream). Easy-schmeasy, but oh-sospectacular a presentation.

Plan simple, healthy weeknight meals BY SARAH WELCH AND ALICIA ROCKMORE getbuttonedup.com

What do you find most difficult to get done in your day? If you asked most people, many would answer: mealtime. From deciding what to cook, shopping for ingredients, prepping, cooking and cleaning up, it can all seem so overwhelming. That is one reason we all have become dependent on take-out and fast food. Dial-up delivery is no longer a treat, but a mainstay in many homes. If you’re working full time, it’s easy to let yourself off the hook, but it’s not that hard to prepare a simple, healthy and inexpensive meal for your family. Sarah on “remembering the big picture” I am a reformed take-out junkie. My husband and I definitely fell into the trap of most young couples with fulltime jobs and young kids at home. It’s hard to work all day and then come home and whip up something in the kitchen while dealing with a cranky toddler and a crying infant. It’s just easier to order pizza or Chinese food. But one day I sat back and re-

alized what we were eating. It wasn’t only bad for our waistlines, it was bad for our bottom lines — we were spending a small fortune on food. Now, I make a conscious effort to plan ahead on Sundays. We grocery shop and plan the week’s meals and then there are no excuses. Plus, I can enlist my husband in cooking if the recipe and ingredients are all right there. We’re eating better and saving lots of money. Alicia on “the path of least resistance” I am never going to be that person who gets excited by a new recipe in a food magazine. Cooking isn’t something I love to do. For me, it’s a means to an end. I want to eat as well as possible and spend the least amount of time (and money) doing it, so I look at kitchen duty as a way to enlist others. I’m great at making salads; my husband likes to grill. Figure out what you like to do and where your talents shine and then divvy up the rest. Here are three ways to make meal prep less painful: 1. Sixoclockscramble.com. This website should win an award. It’s fantastic. Plug in what you want, get your

recipes for the week, and get a shopping list for easy and quick grocery-store runs. It’s simple and sensational and there’s no more of that “what are we having for dinner tonight?” 2. Fine-tune your knife skills. Find a community college, culinary school or shop, or even a local restaurant where you can sharpen your skills with a knife. It doesn’t sound like much, but knowing how to wield a knife and properly chop can shave 10 minutes off prep time. 3. Plan ahead. Whether the meeting has run late, you aren’t feeling up to snuff, or you simply don’t want to break out the saute pan, there are going to be some days that you don’t want to set foot in the kitchen. Plan ahead and make double portions of certain dishes that freeze well. That way, you’ll just need to open the freezer and defrost some lasagna.

Decorating a child’s bedroom in their style changeover from the toddler room to a kid’s room from ages 6 to 12; and then another redecoration at age 17 or so.

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service

Ah, the holidays. Oh, the decorations. Mmm, the cuisines. Let’s go to the dining room and set the scene. According to decorating expert Karl Lohnes, the best dining table is one that has a pedestal rather than four legs. This way, no table legs get in the way of chairs and diners’ legs. With a round or oval table, you have more versatility as to how many chairs — and therefore guests — you can fit. Of course, table extensions are always a plus for those added guests at Thanksgiving and Christmas. OK, so should you go with a round table or an oval table? Elaine Griffin, author of “Design Rules,” suggests the dining table’s shape should relate to the shape of the dining room itself. If the room is rectangular, then a rectangular or oval table is in order. If the room is more square, then a round table works well. We’ve talked about the heights of the table and chair seats before in this column, but it never hurts to review. A dining table should be 30 inches high, measured from floor to tabletop. For comfort, the chair seat should be 16 to 18 inches high, measured from the floor to the top of the cushion. (For greater comfort, there should be a seat cushion. One for the back is also welcome.) If your guests are tall, the 16 inches works; if average to short, then go for the 18 inches. Speaking of chair cushions, choose fabric that is easy to clean. Avoid dry clean- only materials, because chairs likely will need an occasional cleanup from spills. Even cleanable fabric should be sprayed with fabric protector every once in a while, depending on how much use the chairs get. If the dining room is small, forgo a sideboard or a china cabinet. If there is space, then by all means include that extra piece of furniture. If the dining room is open to other

rooms, you can create the illusion of separateness by painting the dining room a deeper color than the rooms around it. If you choose to have a rug under the dining table, be sure it is large enough so diners don’t teeter on the area rug and the rest of the floor. A good rule of thumb: An area rug should extend 24 inches beyond the table’s edges. If you are buying a new chandelier, pick the right size.

To determine that, measure the lengths of two dining room walls in feet. That total, converted to inches, is a good diameter for the chandelier. For example, a room that has one wall 12 feet long and another 14 feet long will add to 26 feet total. Your chandelier should be 26 inches wide. When hanging the chandelier, be sure its bottom is 30 inches from the table’s top. OK, you’re ready for guests. Eat up!

How to decorate a kid’s room: Don’t add your fantasy into theirs. Decorating a room provides a great opportunity for children to express their personalities, and can be a great opportunity for parents to learn more about their kids. Don’t spend big money on trends. Only follow the trends if they work for you, your child’s age and your home. Do get funky with accessories. Accessories are a great way to introduce a trend, because they don’t cost a ton of money. Don’t buy twin beds. Buy at least a full-sized bed if the room is big enough to handle it. Do consider built-ins. Often when a child goes off to college, the room becomes a home office or a guest room. Built-in shelves and even desk space are “great for a study or den,” says Cathy Whitlock, a Nashville interior designer. Don’t spend more than you can afford. Have your child make a list of all the

things he or she wants for the room, from rugs to a lava lamp. Then, commit to the three most important and add the rest of the list as your budget allows. Do buy a few, high-quality items. Generally, there are three transitions in the life of a kid’s room: The move from a crib to a big kid bed at age 2 or 3; the

our family. I like to do the same thing with dear friends who come to visit. Once, I hit an incredible sale and stocked up on cute robes and slippers that I gave to friends. Even when I’m out of gift jammies, I stock my guest rooms with a few thick, white robes for guests to slip on before they go out to the bathroom, which is off the main hallway upstairs. I stock my guest bathroom with toiletries. On a bookshelf next to the sink, guests will find an apothecary jar full of cotton balls. On a shelf below that, an old suitcase holds a hair dryer and hygiene products. Next to the suitcase stands a stack of fluffy white towels. On a shelf above the toilet I have Q-tips in a silverlidded jar and disposable razors in a silver cream pitcher. Celebrate the season by adding bits of holiday cheer to the decor. How about placing a small, live evergreen in an elegant cachepot? It will delight your guests, and in the spring you can plant the tree in your garden.

Tom Wolpert gives tips on holiday decorations

If you’re having overnight guests this holiday season, make a fuss over them so they know how much you love them. Here are a few tips to ensure your guests feel more at home and maybe even a bit like visiting royalty. Be sure your guest quarters are decorated as beautifully as the rest of your home, so the room doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Paint the walls a wonderful, warm color. Replace the standard light fixture with an interesting chandelier. Cover the windows in a treatment that adds interest and ensures privacy. Include a generous sized nightstand, a comfortable chair and a table or luggage stand. You want visitors to feel at home, not like intruders. One way to do this is to anticipate their needs. For instance, one of my guest rooms has a small writing desk next to the bed that I stock with a crystal pitcher filled with fresh water, a roll of stamps for correspondence and a china cup holding pens. A friend of mine often puts together welcome baskets for her guests, filling them with an itinerary of activities, key phone numbers,

services they might need, a street map and pamphlets from interesting sites such as art museums. What do your guests like to do? Surprise them by spotlighting their interests and passions. If your guests are avid readers, stack some great books on a tray by the bed. If they love to shop for clothes or decorate their homes, get the latest editions of your favorite fashion and decorating magazines. I firmly believe that everything is better with food. So I like to spoil my guests with yummy treats. When visitors arrive, revive them with a coffee bar. Dress up your dining room buffet, kitchen island or a foyer console table with silver pitchers of steaming coffee and tea. Set out some interesting confections, like peppermint sticks dipped in dark chocolate. While your guests are resting after an exhausting day of touring, surprise them with a tempting spread of appetizers and drinks, set up in their room or on a table just outside its door. Every Christmas, as a girl, my sister and I received pajamas from neighbors who had no children of their own. So giving pajamas has become a holiday tradition in

habitat for birds and other wildlife. Birds thrive on the seeds that grasses provide. I’ve enjoyed watching wrens and chickadees perched in the feathery grass, dining on many of these easily accessible feeding stations. One of my favorite grasses is pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris). It boasts a stunning display of feathery pink clouds and has exceptional tolerance to heat, sun and drought. It thrives in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, as most grasses do. This tough plant even thrives next to the roadside. It’s native mostly to the eastern United States from Kansas to Massachusetts and south to Florida and Texas. If you can’t grow pink muhly grass, don’t despair. You will find a variety of ornamental grasses at your local garden center. A few grasses are sold as annuals, so be sure to check the plant tag or ask someone knowledgeable in the nursery whether the plants are hardy in your area. I’ve used ornamental grasses to add texture, color and to attract wildlife for decades.

more sophisticated statement. We welcomed soft colors such as sea foam green and innocent blush. 1990s: Soft colors gave way to a more straight from the earth look as green-building trends began to catch on. New colors such as biscuit, beeswax and merlot were introduced. Though we’ve lost a lot of trendy colors over the years, some of the most popular ones are still available. Today, popular choices include caviar and honed white. Yes, I did say white, where it all began. As the saying goes: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A: Wow, this is a fun question. I bet you never thought of your toilet as a history book, but plumbing-fixture colors can tell you about society over the past decades. Let’s take a look back at some popular colors of the past and you’ll see what I mean. In the early 1920s, all plumbing fixtures were white. End of story. But by late in the decade, color popped up. 1920s: Rich pastels like autumn brown reflected fashion trends, and the surplus of beige left over from World War I found its way into our homes. 1930s: As the home became the focus of more activities, cozy neutrals like peach blow gave way to rich colors like dark green and maroon. 1940s: During the war years, the fashion and plumbing industries restricted the number of new colors. Some soil-hiding colors like olive green did appear. 1950s: Striking new colors such as flamingo pink and cerulean blue expressed optimism. 1960s: In this decade of rule breaking, it seemed that anything was accepted. Plumbing fixtures followed the times with colors like antique red, tiger lily and even blueberry. 1970s: How do you follow the psychedelic sixties colors? With new colors like sunflower, avocado and Swiss chocolate, of course 1980s: Muted tones made a

They catch the sunlight, sway and rustle in the breeze. In fall, ornamental grasses are in their glory as they turn shades of gold, bronze and ruby. You may pass the same way every day, suddenly notice a stand of reddish or golden grasses. Consider adding a few of these underappreciated plants to your yard. They’re easy to grow, attractive, versatile and beneficial to wildlife. Ornamental grasses offer low maintenance, longevity and resistance to many pests and diseases. These vigorous plants establish themselves quickly in a wide range of soil types. In addition, most ornamental grasses are deerresistant. Deer may nibble on the grasses, but they rarely damage these tough plants. Just because these are grasses, don’t think you have to mow them regularly. In fact, you only need to trim them within a few inches of the ground annually, just before they awaken from winter dormancy in early spring. Trim off the previous year’s growth and put it right into your compost pile. For most people, the best reason to grow ornamental grasses is their beauty. They provide interest throughout the seasons and look great even in winter snow. With sizes ranging from dwarf to towering, you’re sure to find a variety to suit your needs. Designers love to punctu-

ate landscapes with ornamental grasses because they can plant upright varieties or others that gently weep, depending on the desired effect. Just when perennials have succumbed to the cold, grasses will maintain their shape and attractiveness. They are particularly eye-catching to use en masse, whether it be one large drift or several smaller groupings to define an area or enhance your perennial border or shrub layer. Functionally, grasses will help stabilize slopes because of their deep root systems. They also help to improve soil conditions and fertility as the root system regenerates every three to four years, with the older roots decomposing. But you don’t need a sweeping landscape to enjoy these versatile plants. They lend their tapestry of textures to beds, borders and containers. You can make an architectural statement by putting suitable grasses in colorful containers. Ornamental grasses are also popular in driedflower arrangements. Native grasses provide a

The university also was going to investigate whether Sullivan had contact with anyone when he was in the tower filming practice. The student, who also wrote for the student newspaper, reportedly posted messages on his Facebook page just before the tower fell, including one calling it “terrifying” being on the tower amid high winds. Chuck Hurley, chief deputy coroner for St. Joseph County, said Thursday that Sullivan died of multiple blunt force trauma injuries to the head, chest and abdomen. Indiana Occupational Safe-

ty and Health Administration spokesman Marc Lotter said Thursday the agency had an investigator on the scene in South Bend. The Fighting Irish planned to host Tulsa on Saturday as scheduled, Swarbrick said, and the team will wear decals on their helmets to honor Sullivan. Notre Dame was making grief counselors available for students and was planning a special Mass in Sullivan’s memory. Sullivan’s uncle said the family has many questions for the university about the accident, but for now, they want to celebrate his life. “He always brought joy to people and that’s how we’re remembering him,” Mike Miley, of Schaumburg, Ill., told the Associated Press. “I’m understanding that many of the players had gotten to know Declan. I’m sure they’re grieving and our hearts are with them as well,” Miley said.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A strong gust of wind swept across Notre Dame’s practice football field before a tower toppled, killing a student who had been videotaping the team from the tower, the university’s athletic director said Thursday. Declan Sullivan, a 20-yearold junior from Long Grove, Ill., died Wednesday at a South Bend hospital after the hydraulic scissor lift he was on fell over at the LaBar practice complex. Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick promised there would be a full investigation, but did not say who was responsible for allowing the student to use the lift. Speaking to reporters for the first time since the accident, Swarbrick described a normal practice that quickly became chaotic on Wednesday. He said he was walking along the football field when suddenly, the wind picked up and equipment began flying. “I turned to face north and experienced a pretty extraordinary burst of wind. Things started flying by me that had been stationary for all of practice — Gatorade containers, towels, etc. I noticed the netting by the goal post start to bend dramatically and I heard a crash,” he said. Swarbrick said training staff, medical trainers, coaches and players responded to Sullivan, but after emergency workers arrived, the team went back to the field so the rescuers could help the student. Sullivan was taken to a South Bend hospital, but Swarbrick said he received a call from the ambulance before it arrived that Sullivan was no longer breathing. The National Weather Service said winds in the area were gusting to 51 mph at the time the hydraulic scissor lift, which can be lowered or raised depending on needs, fell over. The football team had practiced indoors the day before because of the blustery conditions caused by a fierce storm. It was not clear specifically who authorized Sullivan to go up in the scissor lift to videotape Wednesday’s practice, but Swarbrick said the decision to practice outside was left up to individual programs at the university. As a student worker, Sullivan reported to a video coordinator associated with the team. Swarbrick said the university would review its protocol for sending people up in the temporary towers. He said at least one other student was in a temporary tower. “We’re going to look at how it was done this day,” he said.

“Keeping weight off and circulation in your legs are the hardest parts.”

Scripps Howard News Service

PALM CITY, Fla. — For most people, hitting 100,000 miles in a vehicle is a milestone. Double that — 200,000 — is quite a feat. Few vehicles survive to 300,000 or 400,000 miles. Phil Marsella just hit 1 million miles in his 2006 Ford F250 pickup. That’s right, 1,000,000 miles. In four years. Marsella, a Port St. Lucie, Fla., resident who breeds and transports racing greyhounds for a living, turned the 1 million mile mark on his 2006 Ford F-250 pickup, and one of the true benefactors of the milestone — his mechanic — is throwing a party in Marsella’s honor Saturday. “I’ve serviced the truck since day one, and we’re just going to have a customer appreciation day saying thanks for 1 million miles of service,” said Buddy Hawkins, manager of Total Tire in Palm City. That adds up to about $67,000 worth of oil changes and wrench-turning on Marsella’s white, four-wheel drive truck specially equipped with an air-conditioned dog hauler in place of a bed. “It’s all these guys,” Marsella said of Hawkins’ crew. “We came in here not long after I bought the truck.

They’ve even put the dogs in the backroom while they work on it.” With his odometer spinning rapidly, Marsella could have circumnavigated the earth 40 times at the equator. Instead he has been crisscrossing Florida, barreling north to West Virginia and trekking west to Arkansas, transporting his canine cargo to dog tracks, adoption groups and veterinarians’ offices. Before he mounted an external air conditioner on the

truck, he would sometimes leave it running for “14 or 15 days straight to keep the dogs cool,” he said. Marsella and his wife, Heather, got into the greyhound business about five years ago, and after encountering logistical problems getting his pack to the track, he decided to begin hauling his own. Once the word got out, Marsella said his phone never stops ringing with calls for pickups or deliveries or just to ask where in the deep, dark night he is. “I don’t listen to music in the truck,” Marsella said. “I’m always on the phone. It keeps

you awake.” Marsella has spun a number of air-conditioner pumps, generators and “a couple of clutches” off his truck and replaced the gas-powered engine at 400,000 miles — with one from the salvage yard that had 100,000 miles on it. Otherwise, either he or his two sons, 22-year-old Mike and 18-year-old Joe, who have recently taken over some of Dad’s driving duties, stop into the shop every week for the 7,000-mile, high-mileage oil change, and it’s back on the road. Marsella said he has long since mastered the art of pacing himself and staying awake for hours on end or riding the clutch pedal in traffic. “Keeping weight off and circulation in your legs are the hardest parts,” he said. At the party Saturday at Total Tire, Bridgestone/Firestone Tires will be on hand to present Marsella with new tires. He only managed 144,000 miles on his last set.

Firefighter’s job on the line over video from fatal car crash ATLANTA (AP) — A firefighter is being dismissed for taking cell phone video footage of a woman killed in a SUV crash that the dead woman’s parents later received, authorities said. Spalding County firefighter Terrence Reid was notified Thursday that he was being fired for shooting the gruesome video, interim county manager Tim Whalen said in a statement. The firefighter has 10 days to appeal. Other employees may also face discipline. Whalen said Reid used his

personal cell phone to take footage showing the horrific injuries suffered by 23-yearold Dayna Kempson-Schacht, who died July 17 when her Jeep crashed into trees. “That Mr. Reid recklessly disregarded the humanity of Ms. Kempson-Schacht and the people he was obligated to serve is clear and obvious,” Whalen said. Reid’s attorney, M. Michael Kendall, did not return a phone message to the Associated Press. The firefighter was accused of showing the video to

others in the department. County officials earlier said a firefighter took the video to a bar, where he texted it to other patrons. From there, it spread. A former brother-inlaw of Jeff Kempson, the late woman’s father, received the video on his cell phone and sent it to her parents at their request. “We had precious memories and we’re trying to heal just from her death,” Kempson said. “But once this video come out, I can just tell you it’s just tormented me but severely tormented my wife.”

Fabric addicts unite to conquer by shopping their collections

MARY HUNT

FABRIC ADDICT FIX. My daughter-inlaw and I are both like alcoholics at the saloon when it comes to fabric stores. Things got so out of hand that both of our husbands insisted we not purchase anything else except for patterns to use on the fabrics we had on

hand. Now when we need that “fix” from fabric shopping, we “shop” in each other’s collection and enjoy our “new” yard goods. — Ann,

Victoria's Secret, Talbots and so on. Now I don’t receive the e-mails about their sales. — Beth,

DIY PRICE STICKERS. I miss price stickers on products. I found I was more careful using the product when I was reminded of the cost. I decided to put my own “price stickers” on many of the household items I use. When I come home from shopping, I take a black marker, review the receipt and write the price I paid right on those products. When I go to use something, I can see what the item cost me, and I find I use it more sparingly. I also throw away less. Recently, seeing that a rice mix that was not a family favorite cost $1.59 inspired me to add some spices and serve it again rather than simply throw it away. — Maureen,

WATER REFRESHMENT. On a recent shopping trip, my mom and I decided to pause for some refreshment. Our first thought was to whip into a drive-through, until I spotted a store advertising a 24pack of bottled water for $2.88. Bottled water inside an air-conditioned store is very refreshing. We were able to quench our thirst for about 13 cents a serving, and I had 22 bottles left to bring home. Now that's a bargain! — Linda, Oklahoma

You can blend your own garlic salt at home

Dear Libby: Yes. You can substitute garlic powder plus salt. The ratio is 3:1 salt to garlic powder. Or you can substitute using 1/2 the amount of garlic powder. You can use fresh garlic, too. 1 clove is roughly 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. You can find spice mixes/seasoning blends that contain garlic and no salt, such as Mrs. Dash. Dear Sara: My son has ruined two t-shirts that he’s only worn once. Both have grease stains from pizza. I’ve already tried putting laundry detergent directly on the stains, and I’ve dried them in the dryer. Is there any hope? These weren’t cheap t-shirts. — Linda, e-mail

Dear Sara: Can avocado be frozen? — Julia, New Mexico

Dear Julia: Yes, you can freeze avocado. Slice it in half, remove the pit and either score the avocado (crosshatch pattern) and turn the skin inside out so the avocado cubes either fall or are easily scooped out. Or slice the avocado and cut off the peel, or pull it apart with your hands. Mash it with a fork and add 1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice. Add to a freezer storage container. Use within five months. Dear Sara: My husband bought me a pizza stone. I was really happy until I made pizza and got melted cheese all over it. I put it in the sink to wash and my husband insisted that it shouldn’t be washed. Well, how do I clean it? — Kelly H.,

about it smoking in your oven, you can use a nylon scrubbie, hot water and baking soda to clean it. Stone is porous, so you don’t want to use cleaning chemicals. Your baking stone shouldn’t look perfectly clean. It will look like food has spilled and baked on it.

Dear Sara: I have a question about Swiffer refills. Do you know if you can “refill” the original bottles with your own cleaner? I like the Swiffer and the smell of the cleaner, but they are so costly. — Tammy, Virginia

Dear Tammy: Yes, you can refill the bottle with your own cleaning solution. You can use pliers to remove the cap (but you risk breaking it). Cut a 1/4-inch hole and buy a removable stopper at your local hardware store, or boil some water and submerge the cap into the hot water for a few minutes and twist it off. You might need something to get a good grip on the cap. You can make your own Swiffer pads, too. They can be made from microfiber cloths, washcloths, crocheted or knitted cloths, an old t-shirt, flannel, a sock, cloth diapers, etc.

Teen girl wants mom to quit volunteering and focus on her

Dear Helping: Let’s stipulate that you are no more ap-

palling than any mother of any teenage girl. Let’s further stipulate that teen girls seem to find their mothers universally appalling. Additionally, your daughter sounds as though she’s going through a bit of a bratty stage. If you ask her nicely what volunteer work she will permit you to do and she says, “Nothing,” and if she is unwilling to compromise, then remember that your job is to be patient, kind and firmly in charge of your own life — even as you slowly loosen your grip on hers. When I was an angsty teenager, a mother’s response to this sort of anguish was a parental sigh, followed by: “Well, I think you’ll live.” If your daughter is extra concerned about her privacy, she is providing all the more reason for you to gently push up against it. Being on the fringes of her school environment might be the perfect solution. Dear Amy: I am an 18-yearold college student. I’m working at an internship. At my workplace there is a gentleman who works in maintenance. He seems to have a mental handicap. He often stops by during my lunch break to talk with me. Recently I gave him my number with the intent that it be primarily a method of contact in case of an emergency. He started texting me, asking me how I am, and I didn’t

mind. In a matter of days, however, the texts changed. He has asked what sizes of clothes I wear, and when I inquired he said he wanted to get some for me. He has said he loves me. I have a huge problem with this, but I am unsure what to do. I want to assume that he is oblivious, but my gut tells me otherwise. I don’t have the backbone to tell him to get lost, because I know I would want someone to be nice to me. Should I just ignore him?

Should I talk to the intern supervisor? Is there some way I can handle this gracefully? — Distressed Intern Dear Distressed: You sound like a very nice young woman, but I can’t imagine why you would give your phone number to someone you barely know “for emergency purposes.” This isn’t a good idea. You should tell this person, very clearly, that you don’t want him to contact you by phone. Regardless of how he responds, you must also tell

your intern supervisor exactly what has transpired so he or she can get a handle on it. Dear Amy: I was amused to learn that despite being surrounded by technology, you still have a rotary phone. We used our rotary phone until it became impossible to do business. “To place an order, press 2.” So now it’s buttons, but we keep the rotary one to amuse and startle the young. We were delighted that you still use yours. — Tom and Beverly in Va.

Dear Tom and Beverly: Using my rotary phone helps me embrace my own vintage quality, which, like the phone’s, is startling, but not quite amusing.

Dear Amy: I have always been a stay-at-home mom who loves to volunteer and be part of my community. I usually chair artistic programs at our local school. I also support functions (fundraisers for the schools) as a creative director. I have a t e e n a g e daughter who wants me to stop helping out at school and be available only when she asks (that ASK would only inAMY clude driving her and her friends around). I do not hover over her and don’t treat her any differently from the other kids I work with, so as not to embarrass her. I have always supported her independence. Lately, any questions we ask her are looked on as an intrusion on her privacy. She has lots of friends and everyone thinks she’s a great kid, but our relationship has become so strained. Should I stop volunteering? I don’t want to stop because I like working with the kids and my friends (who also volunteer), but I can’t take the stress this creates. Is she being a typical teen? Should I butt out? — Helping Out in California

HONG KONG (AP) — Bruce Lee’s path to stardom and his early death is a familiar story. Less has been said about the early days of the young man who would grow into a global kung fu icon and model of Chinese ethnic pride. A new $4.6 million Chinese-language production scheduled for release two days before what would have been Lee’s 70th birthday on Nov. 27 aims to fill the gap. Drawing from the memories of Lee’s siblings, “Bruce Lee, My Brother” traces the actor’s life growing up in Hong Kong before he left to study in the U.S. “Many people know about his movies and his fighting philosophy after he became famous. But very few people know about his family, his parents, his first love, what he did on movie sets as a young actor,” producer Manfred Wong told the Associated Press. “This production offers a new perspective to understanding a person. We see someone who is real and fragile. The Bruce Lee we see in his films is deified,” said Wong Yiu-keung, head of the Hong Kong Bruce Lee fan club and an adviser to the film. Lee honed his craft as a martial arts instructor in the U.S. before making his debut in the short-lived TV series “The Green Hornet.” Struggling to break into Hollywood, he returned to his hometown Hong Kong, where he catapulted to global fame with hits like “The Big Boss” and “Fist of Fury” before passing away in 1972 at age 32 from swelling of the brain. “Bruce Lee, My Brother” tells the story of the years before that. Audiences see Lee courting his first love interest, launching his entertainment career as a popular child actor and pained by a childhood friend’s drug addiction. Cast in the lead role is Hong Kong newcomer Aarif Lee, who is not related to the late actor. The 23-year-old

was born some 15 years after the death of the character he portrays. He said he knew little about Lee before taking on the role except that he was an “amazing fighter.”

Dear Dr. Gott: A few years ago, my mother read something in your column that led her to believe that because urine is sterile, she doesn’t need to wash her hands after urinating. Not having read that particular question and response, I don’t know what information you conveyed. The problem for us now is that she is clinging to that “advice.” She lives in an assisted-living community, and the hygiene issue affects many other people. So, between whatever it she DR. PETER was gleaned from GOTT your column and a false claim to being allergic to soap, we have a real problem. She reads your column faithfully, so it would be of great benefit to all who are in similar living circumstances if you would revisit the necessity of hand washing and other hygiene issues for those who live in healthcare communities. I’m a concerned daughter. Dear Reader: Indeed, I must admit that in the past I indicated that hand washing wasn’t vital following urination. Well, I got raked over the coals (and rightly so) for that one by my readers and quickly realized the error of my ways. My beliefs are exactly that — mine — and I should not have passed them

to others. Generally speaking, urine is sterile until it leaves the body — free of bacteria and viruses. However, it contains waste products, fluids and salts. Infection occurs when organisms from the digestive tract cling to the opening of the urethra and multiply. The urethra carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. The most common bacterium is Escherichia coli, otherwise known as E. coli. Any abnormality of the urinary tract that obstructs the flow of urine can trigger an infection. Furthermore, people with diabetes or disorders that suppress the immune system have a higher risk of UTI. When we are young, we are oblivious and don’t think about things like this. But as we age, we may become a little less diligent about personal hygiene. It doesn’t matter whether we live alone, with an aging spouse or in a healthcare facility. We may feel that we are relatively inactive and don’t need to shower daily, wash our hair, keep our fingernails trimmed, and wash our hands. After all, if we sit around all day, we can’t get dirty and don’t need to take such measures, right? Well, no matter what bacterial or viral infection is mentioned today, one of the key things to do is to wash our hands. If we take the time to think, we are exposed to an overwhelming amount of bacteria and germs on door handles, shopping carts and telephone receivers every day

of our lives. The safest and best protection is to keep our hands clean, including washing our hands after using the bathroom. Tell your mother that she has a special place in my heart because of her beliefs, but hand washing prevents the spread of germs, bacteria and viruses. She should find a mild soap that she isn’t “allergic to” and wash her hands. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Bladder and Urinary Tract Infections.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H.

The points point toward the defense raised South's two-spade rebid to game in that suit. The right question for West is: Who has the missing high-card points?

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Edward Hodnett said, "If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems." That is an excellent way for bridge players to think. If you do not think of the best bid or play, you will not make it. Ask yourself about all of the possibilities. This deal is a good defensive example. West is defending against four spades. He starts with three rounds of diamonds, East following twice (playing high-low to show his doubleton) and

discarding the club two. How should West continue? South opened one notrump, showing 15-17 points. North used Stayman, then

West has 10 points and the dummy 12. That leaves 18 for East and South. East has the heart queen or spade king. Declarer, if missing the queen, might have a twoway finesse. Better is to assume East has king-ninethird of spades, when the contract can always be defeated. West should lead a fourth diamond. If declarer discards from the dummy, East ruffs with his nine, forcing out South's ace and promoting his king to the setting trick. And if South ruffs with dummy's 10, East calmly discards and is assured of a trump trick. When you have won all possible side-suit tricks, give a ruff-and-sluff.
