Family, friends mourn a ‘kind spirit’ BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
CLEVELAND — When Antonio “Tony” Jerome McCoy wasn’t working on the press line at Magna, he savored meals from Thelma’s Down Home Cooking, spent time with his cousin, Ricky McCoy and played drums at New Life Holy Temple. “He just enjoyed life,” Bishop G.A. Graham of New Life said. A vehicle accident cut Tony’s life short Sunday. The 23-year-old Cleveland resident died on the scene after driving his Honda Civic underneath a Food
Lion tractor-trailer around 7:13 a.m. He was traveling toward Brenner Avenue on Jake Alexander Boulevard when he failed to round a slight curve in the road and drove straight under the oncoming truck. Salisbury Police said McCoy may have fallen asleep at the wheel. The truck driver, Shane Michael Earnhardt of China Grove, was not injured in the accident. • • • Family and friends who gathered Monday to remember Tony spoke of his kind-hearted nature.

Describing friend Tony McCoy
“Tony had a big heart ... he met no strangers, he could talk to anybody,” his mother Kim McCoy said. “Even when he was little he would be missing in the store and I would find him trying to help the clerk stock the shelf.”
Ricky said his cousin was always quick to lend a helping hand. Tony served as an usher at the church, working closely with Bishop Graham to assist wherever he was needed. “He was very helpful and very well-mannered,” Graham said. “He enjoyed coming to church and doing church work.” Kim said people felt comfortable confiding in her son because of his quiet demeanor and caring personality. She remembers Tony talking to her about a peer that was being abused. “I told him God is using you for them to talk to,” she said. “It was a

A judge found Rowan Arts Council Executive Director Ann Cave not guilty of larceny Monday for removing a pair of men’s underwear from the outside of artist Clyde’s shop. Cave admitted taking the size 2X men’s briefs in July from the window of Off Main Antiques on Council Street, but said on the stand Monday she did it because they offended a teenage intern. Clyde, who dropped his last name, took out a private warrant against Cave after she pulled the underwear down. The case that has drawn national attention and sparked a debate about art in Salisbury took about 20 minutes to resolve in Rowan County District Court. Neither Clyde nor Cave would comment on the verdict, but Cave’s attorney Graham Carlton said justice was served. “One-hundred-percent, absolutely not guilty,” he said of Cave. Clyde, who last saw the crisp, white pair of briefs duct-taped to his shop window July 23, took the stand first in Monday’s hearing. Davidson County District Court Judge Rod Penry heard the case because all of Rowan’s District Court judges know one or both of the parties. Clyde testified he put the underwear up “as a matter of protest,” in an “ongoing feud” he and another business owner have on the rights to the alleyway beside his Council Street shop. The underwear, which Clyde called “priceless” art, stayed up for two days before it disappeared, he said. “Mrs. Cave called me on the phone and said she had taken them, that she was offended,” he said. Cave testified her student intern, who was also interning with Clyde’s alleyway neighbor, artist Robert Crum, walked by the underwear day after day, and “got creeped out” by the display. “Friday afternoon she came into my office and sort of had a meltdown about it,” Cave testified. Cave said she left three messages

In brief, ‘Not guilty’
Project proposed at Concord plant site
CONCORD — Though few details are known yet, a plan to put a multi-million dollar entertainment facility at the former Philip Morris plant in Concord appears to be taking shape. Sunday, Nashville-based Elevating Entertainment issued a press release announcing “tentative plans to locate movie, television and music production facilities to Carolina USA Performance Park in Concord, N.C.” The press release details a number of potential uses for the site, including possible television shows and movies, plus “a 3,500-seat full-broadcast production facility.” Dave Moody, president of Elevating Entertainment, is quoted as saying the state’s film incentives and the size of the property make it an attractive opportunity for development. A call to Moody’s Nashville office was not returned before press time. But the key phrase in the otherwise ambiguous press release is the description of the deal as “part of an overall Stargate Worldwide Attraction and Business Center Complex currently under development.” Four Cabarrus County commissioners said they found out about the proposed project Monday after receiving an e-mail from County Manager John Day. That e-mail, linking to the press release, was forwarded from the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation. Reached by phone after Monday’s commission work session, Commissioner Coy Privette said he knew a plan was being discussed, but that John Cox, president and CEO of the Cabarrus EDC, would not discuss details. Cox could not be reached for comment before press time. Commissioner Bob Carruth said the plan sounded like “a tremendous thing,” but that he still didn’t know many details. He confirmed that Cox had not discussed specific details regarding this plan for the site. “I just knew that there was something cooking,” Carruth said. But commissioners said that
gift. People were just drawn to him. Family friend Billy Ray Brown said Tony was a “fine young man” who many admired. “He was a role model to young people his age,” he said. “I think if young men as a whole would model themselves after him, the world would be a lot better off.” Ricky said his cousin treated him like a brother right up until the day he died. “The last time I saw him was Saturday when we went to the barber shop and he paid for my haircut,” he said.

In the bubble From 6,000 feet, life looks pretty grounded VER THE YADKIN RIVER — Meet the Bubble Boy. Monday afternoon, I was hovering about 6,000 feet above Interstate 85 and the Yadkin River in a front bucket seat of a small helicopter piloted by Jared Watkins. Below me, through my bubble of glass, the ribbons of roads, railroad tracks, river and power lines seemed to tie the green and brown land in knots. Some vultures flew amazingly close to us, and I asked Watkins whether birds could be troublesome. One of the No. 1 concerns, he answered in my headset. Birds and power lines. In a helicopter, you want nothing to do with them. Where rolled haystacks dotted MARK the land, the fields looked like WINEKA chocolate chip cookies. I also enjoyed seeing the simple symmetry of long chicken houses. Watkins told me chicken houses and helicopters don’t mix, either. He always tries to keep a tolerable distance, because if his Robinson (R 44) helicopter gets too close, the chickens tend to panic, running to one end of the houses and trampling over each other on the way. I expressed surprise at a lack of orange and red in the landscape below. Watkins said those heavy winds we had last week tended to knock

Talk of Senior Services restructuring stirs concern BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Dozens of senior adults helped fill every seat in the county commissioners’ meeting room Monday. They attended in protest of an item on the agenda to consider pursuing reorganization of the Senior Services Department and the Department of Social Services. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed at Monday’s meeting to allow County Manager Gary Page to research available options.

Carman, a Title 5 employee who works at the John Calvin meal site, spoke on behalf of the gathered crowd to demand an independent senior services department. “This is a program that works,” Carman said. “This is government at its finest, as the founders envisioned it — for the people. ...

‘Fastest method of communication on the planet’ launched in Salisbury BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Fibrant has launched, softly. The city on Monday rolled out the soft launch of Fibrant, the city’s new fiber to the home utility that offers Internet, cable TV and digital phone services. Fibrant will compete with Time Warner Cable, AT&T and other incumbent providers using older technology. Using light to transfer information, Fibrant “offers the
fastest method of communication on the planet,” city officials said in a press release. Some of the 115 early, free testers of Fibrant became the first paying customers Monday, with the utility scheduling installations for 200 other residents on a waiting list. All areas of the city are wired for Fibrant. The launch was delayed last month to tweak video signals and solve some software glitches. The city borrowed $29 million to fund the project, which
aims to have a 30 percent market share, or 4,400 households, in four years. All income from Fibrant “will remain in Salisbury to be reinvested for the benefit of the community,”
Marketing Director Len Clark said in a statement. Fibrant will occupy onefourth of the $7 million Salisbury Customer Service Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, which is scheduled to open in mid-December. Fibrant’s temporary home is on Klumac Road. Installation costs $360, but the city will waive the fee for customers who remain with Fibrant for at least one year. Subscribers who leave before the year is up will receive a bill for installation.
While Fibrant’s fee schedule undercuts other providers’ published rates by 7 to 10 percent, the city can’t beat their monthly specials, which are usually good for one year and than revert to standard rates. No incumbent provider can match Fibrant’s Internet speed, made possible by new technology that sends out information as quickly as it brings it in. Fibrant officials also tout their “home-grown, over-thetop” customer service. The utility offers more

Cabarrus County commissioners debate Kannapolis’ financing plan
BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
BY HUGH FISHER CONCORD — Cabarrus County commissioners will decide whether to enter into an interlocal agreement to support Kannapolis’ issue of certificates of participation, commonly called COPS, to finance infrastructure improvements related to the Cabarrus Health Alliance and N.C. Research Campus. Since the original plans to borrow up to $168 million through tax increment financing were derailed by the economic crisis, the city has been searching for alternatives. Under the current proposal, Kannapolis would issue certificates of participation for an amount not to exceed $36.5 million. The debt would be the city’s. But — as with the original tax increment financing plan — the county would pledge half of its property tax revenues from a downtown district which includes the Research Campus to help repay that debt, starting in 2013. In 2007, the Cabarrus Board of Commissioners asked Kannapolis to pledge $10 million for a new Cabarrus Health Alliance facility as a condition of the original partnership. Now, the CHA building will be an integral part of the financing plan: Kannapolis will own it for the life of the debt and put it up as collateral for the financing. A unanimous vote at Monday’s commission work session put the matter on the agenda for the Nov. 15 business meeting. Commission Chairman Jay White said he felt the discussion was very positive, although a few details remain to be addressed. But, White said, he wasn’t concerned about Kannapolis’ ability to repay the debt. “Kannapolis has always fulfilled their obligations as far as I am aware of, and I don’t know why this would be any different,” White said. Among the questions that arose Monday were the figures used to calculate the value of the property. White said that the plan presented assumed a 3 percent rise in property values per year. But county revaluations only occur once every four years, White noted. “It’s not as simple as multiplying three times four” to come up with the amount it could increase with further development,

The summer they returned to California, Vicki noticed that Christine had developed a crease in her forehead. Christine’s doctor determined it was a skin discoloration that would go away, and prescribed a cream for it. “I never filled the prescription,” Vicki says. “I just felt that wasn’t it but I wasn’t concerned.” When Christine was 7, she had a grand mal seizure, probably caused by a fever. Vicki was still asking doctors about the line on Christine’s forehead. It looks like a pencil smudge, and it was growing more pronounced. Matt was also worried. He told his mom he thought the
LANDIS — The public will have a chance to weigh in on three parcels of land that have been petitioned to be annexed into the town limits. The town of Landis is one of those owners. The first property is 1.568 acres near the intersection of Highland Avenue and Airport Road, which is owned by Gary Moss. The property is divided into three sections — part is in Landis, Rowan County and Kannapolis. The owner requests that all parcels be included in the Landis town limits. The second property is .18 acres at North Main Street and North Central Avenue, which the town owns. The property was donated a number of years ago by Bob Phillips. Town Manager Reed Linn said there used to be a mobile home on the property, but when the railroad crossing was installed, it was moved. The property owner has signed off on the town taking that tract of land. The third property sits at West Round Street and South Valley Street. Rowan County tax records indicate the parcel is 2.905 acres. The property is partially in Landis and Kannapolis. The property used to belong to Raymond Hinson and was sold to Rae Ann Griggs and her husband, Terry. “There is no structure on it. It’s a wooded area,” Linn said. All of the requests were made via petition by the property owners. All of the parcels are adjacent to or abut the city limits. A public hearing has been scheduled during the Dec. 6 meeting. The board also set a public hearing on the same night on recommendations from the planning board regarding proposed revisons to the game room/video arcade/electronic gaming establishments. North Carolina legislators voted to ban sweepstakes games, effective in December, but the planning board “felt that may not stick,” said Shelley Williamson, a planner with Centralina Council of Goverments. The planning board define such a place as one with three or more computer terminals or machines. The machines are those that are coin-operated or accept fee/memberships. The machines are limited to two per establishment and can be a secondary or accessory use. If it’s a secondary use it has to be screened and have designated hours of operation, which are 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No one younger than 21 is allowed to operate a terminal. The establishment must be a certain number of feet from residential areas, schools, churches, day cares or parks. Williamson said the town doesn’t want to outlaw these establishments, just set some

Candidate rallies Democratic volunteers to help her win BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Elaine Marshall stopped by Rowan County Democratic Party headquarters Monday to rally volunteers, urging them to help her win today’s election against U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican. Marshall told volunteers working the phones to persevere, acknowledging that Republican candidates may have an advantage this year in Rowan County. “I know how hard it is for Democrats to carry this county,” Marshall said, her arm around incumbent Lorene Coates, a Democrat in a tight race for N.C. House District 77 with Republican Harry Warren. Coates predicted she would pull out a victory in her race and said negative advertising will backfire on Republicans. “I’ll come home before I go negative,” Coates said. While Marshall has trailed Burr in polls for months, a poll released Friday by Elon University shows sagging support for Burr.
to support in the Senate race, with both Democrats and Republicans pulling 33 percent support. More than a quarter of respondents hadn’t yet decided who to vote for. Those are the voters Marshall said she’s counting on today as she pits herself and the middle class against BURR Burr and special interests. “I don’t want luck, I want work, work, work,” she said. Nan Lund, coordinator for the Democratic headquarters, said volunteers have been doing just that. While Republicans have fared better in early voting returns, Democratic volunteers are working to get out the vote today, she said. “We hope election day will close that gap,” Lund said.
Forty-five percent of respondents agreed “it’s time to give a new person a chance,” while one-third of respondents said Burr deserves reelection. “He should be very concerned about that,” said Marshall, who stopped here during her final-hour RV tour of the state. “Some candidates do a flyaround,” she said. “I do a drivearound.” Contact Emily Ford at 704-797Respondents were evenly split when asked which party they plan 4264.
Fundraiser will be held Friday for fifth-grader with rare disease BY SUSAN SHINN CHINA GROVE — No matter what their circumstance, parents are charged to love and protect their children — no matter what. When Christine Honeycutt was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that could disfigure her face, her mom, Vicki, refused to let that happen. Christine, 10, a bright and spunky fifth-grader at Millbridge Elementary School, will undergo an eight-hour surgery on Nov. 15 to try to halt the progress of Parry Romberg Syndrome, a progressive disease that is causing the left side of her face to deteriorate. To help the family defray travel expenses to American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, Wisc., where the surgery will take place, a fish fry fundraiser is set for 4 p.m.-until on Friday at First Re-

Vital to the fundraising efforts are a group of Vicki’s friends and co-workers from Bank of America, who’ve dubbed themselves Christine’s Champions for Hope. They are Jennifer Golynsky, Kim Sholly, Izzy Woll, Monica Snider and Frances Noblitt, all of whom live in the Charlotte area. The women have already sponsored a yard sale to raise money. Fortunately, Vicki has insurance but faces travel and other out-of-pocket costs as she and Christine will spend about three weeks in Wisconsin following surgery.

Granite Lake Park hours to be reduced BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — With this weekend’s “fall back” to standard time, hours at the popular Granite Lake Park will be reduced in the evenings by two hours. Starting next Monday, Granite Lake Park will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. When Daylight Savings Time returns next spring, the park’s hours will return to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen approved the change in hours Monday night. At first, Town Manager Dan Peters recommended moving the park’s closing time from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. during the winter months. The reduction would help the town save seven hours a week of park lighting on its power bill,
Peters said. And few people will be using the park, especially for their night-time walks, during the period between 9 and 10 p.m. in the winter, Peters said. But Aldermen Eloise Peeler and Jake Fisher and Mayor Mary Ponds suggested that the park’s closing time be moved up two hours to 8 p.m. once the time changes. Peters waged no complaint. “That suits me, power billwise,” he said. The town’s power bill for the park averages about $500 a month, Peters said. Peeler said the 6 a.m. opening time should remain because a number of people are walking in the park early in the morning. Thanks to help from the N.C. Wildlife Commission, the town had a highly successful “Fish for Fun Day” Saturday at Granite Lake Park. The
In other business Monday night, the Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen: • Approved the purchase of a police car for $20,443.63 from Bobby Jones Ford. Police Chief Mark Cook said he sought bids from three dealerships, and the low bid was about $3,000 cheaper than the other two dealerships. Town Manager Dan Peters said one of the old patrol cars will be sold. • Were introduced to a newly hired police officer, John Austin. Cook said he has a good background in narcotics investigations and investigative work in general. • Approved a budget amendment moving $50,000 from the Powell Bill money market account to the general fund for street repairs.
Escaped fugitive from Mississippi arrested by Salisbury Police An escaped fugitive is currently behind bars at the Rowan County Detention Center under a $251,000 secured bond. Michale Anthony Dunn, 53, was arrested by Salisbury Police at the intersection of Majolica Road and Norris Drive on Friday after calling to turn himself in. Dunn is wanted by the Department DUNN of Corrections in Hide County, Miss., for escaping a correctional facility on Oct. 29, 2007. He was listed in the National Crime Information Center database. Salisbury Police charged Dunn with unauthorized use of motor vehicle. A warrant for his arrest for the incident was issued in July. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Dunn will be extradited back to Mississippi.
event was held from noon to 4 p.m. for children of elementary and middle school age. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather praised the three members of the Wildlife Commission staff who helped at the event and supplied all the fishing rods, bait and tackle boxes. They assisted children in fishing techniques, baiting their hooks and taking caught fish off the hooks. “They were amazing,” Feather said. “... I think they look forward to doing it again.” The fishing day aimed at reducing some of the stock within the small lake. The biggest fish caught was a 34inch carp weighing close to 20 pounds. Some turtles also were snagged and put back in the lake. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

NC man arrested for wearing a mask on Halloween ZEBULON (AP) — A half-century-old law designed to combat the Ku Klux Klan was the basis of the arrest of a Zebulon man for wearing a mask on Halloween night. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Lawrence Marqueal Rogers, 20, was arrested Sunday and charged with wearing a mask or hood in public, a rarely used charge that dates back to 1953. Police said Rogers, who had previously been convicted of breaking and entering, larceny, and injury to personal property, was issued a citation for wearing a red bandanna “concealing everything but the eyes.” Following the warning, police said Rogers donned the garment again, resulting in an arrest. He was being held in Wake County jail on a $7,500 bond Monday, and it couldn’t be immediately determined if he has a lawyer. According to research done by the University of North Carolina School of Law, the ban on people 16 or older wearing masks or hoods was adopted to curtail the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, whose members wore distinctive pointed hoods to conceal their identities. The same year the law on masks in public was adopted, North Carolina legislators also prohibited cross burning and wearing masks at rallies or demonstrations. At least 17 other states have similar laws barring adults from wearing masks publicly, most of which were adopted to check the activities of the Klan, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
NC campaigning wraps up as get-out-vote ramps up RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s political candidates wrapped up their campaigns Monday while their parties and volunteers ramped up efforts to get voters to the polls for a crucial midterm election. Candidates across the state used Monday to encourage volunteers, speak with voters and hold rallies. Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr spent the day on an unscheduled roadtrip with his wife, stopping in various towns and speaking with voters. Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall went with a more grueling schedule, taking an RV about 250 miles to six campaign stops and spending time pep-talking a network of volunteers. “This is the culmination, and I want to make sure they don’t let up,” Marshall said. Much of the focus has now turned to the infrastructure set up by both parties. Republicans are trying to reach out to a quarter million voters during a 72-hour period, adding to the 2 million they’ve made contact with in recent months. Democrats have more than 1,000 volunteers lined up for shifts to call voters and canvass homes. Polls open Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. More than 950,000 voters have already cast a ballot through early voting and mailin absentees, with 46 percent of votes coming from registered Democrats and 36 percent coming from registered Republicans. Along with the race for U.S. Senate at the top of ballots across the state, the election will decide 13 congressional races, and Republicans are hoping victories over sitting Democrats will help the party reclaim control
SALISBURY POST

of the U.S. House. The congressional candidates took different approaches to the last day of campaigning: In the 7th District, Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre began his day at 7 a.m. by hitting a series of breakfast diners in Wilmington before walking down the historic streets of a few towns in his district. In the 8th District, Republican candidate Harold Johnson joined his supporters by picking up the phone to call voters. Election Day also could mark history at the General Assembly, where Republicans are aiming to wrest power from the Democrats that they have held since the 1898 elections. Since then, Republicans have controlled only one chamber — the House — for four years in the 1990s. All 170 legislative seats are up for re-election. The GOP would have to pick up nine additional seats in the House or six in the Senate to win one or both chambers. Although House GOP leaders are optimistic about winning control of their chamber, prospects ripened for Republicans in the Senate because Democrats have failed to keep their usual dominant fundraising advantage this election cycle. Several Democratic retirements or resignations added to GOP motivation to work to flip seats. “I think things look promising,” Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, who spent Monday working at his law office, rather than campaigning. “There are enough opportunities out there for us to get a majority.” Senate leader Marc Basnight, whose record 18-year
run as president pro tempore of the chamber could end, said he was hopeful Democrats could keep a slight majority. Basnight’s party probably would remain in charge in a deadlocked 25-25 chamber because Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, a Democrat, would break any ties. Basnight, D-Dare, said previous elections were easier for him to handicap, but “this one is unpredictable.” Democrats have suffered due to stubbornly high unemployment and taken heat for their decision in the 2009 budget to raise taxes by another $1 billion they contend actually saved thousands of public education jobs. Republicans have pledged to reduce spending and taxes further even as next year’s budget gap could be more than $3 billion. The stakes are even higher at the Legislature, where chamber leaders following Tuesday’s election will get to redraw state House and Senate boundaries that will be used through 2020. The maps almost certainly will favor the majority party in power. Voters also will choose winners for four contested Court of Appeals seats and one on the state Supreme Court between Bob Hunter of Marion and Barbara Jackson of Raleigh, both current Court of Appeals judges. One Court of Appeals post may not be decided for weeks as voters rank their top three candidates among 13 seeking the job. Along with hundreds of local races, a constitutional amendment is also on the ballot statewide asking voters to decide whether to ban convicted felons from running for or serving as a county sheriff.

The Landis board also: • Approved a request from Craft Development and Summit Land Services for a new lot in the Oaks of Landis. It’s a lot that hasn’t been recorded. Both Aldermen Roger Safrit and James Furr said they were fine with approving the request so long as none of the conditions have changed. The developers only record a lot once one has been purchased. • Tabled a low speed vehicle ordinance to review the proposed ordinance. Alderman Craig Sloop said he inquired with the town of China Grove, which recently approved its own low speed vehicle ordinance. In China Grove’s ordinance, those vehicles include John Deere tractors and other vehicles that travel under 28 miles per hour. The board agreed to look at the information provided and discuss the issue further next month. • Tabled appointing someone as alternate for the planning board. It’s not required by law for the board to have an alternate. The town board wants to meet the applicant at the December meeting before making a final decision. • Received recommendations from the planning board concerning properties in the Landis Highway Corridor Overlay. There are 15 businesses, some with buildings no longer in use that have signage or landscape issues. Many of the businesses have some signs that are in disrepair or are too tall. Others need to be plant trees to buffer the property. The properties were annexed into the town limits in the 1990s. Owners were given seven years to comply and these 15 have not. Town Planner Shelley Williamson said many of these businesses predate the annexation, which was why they were given seven years. “This was put in place to improve your gateway, that’s all this is,” she said. Mayor Dennis Brown said he didn’t think 30-90 days was enough time to comply. The board discussed a year being ample time to make changes. • Approved to close town hall by noon Nov. 23 for the annual Christmas parade.
FUNDRAISER FROM 3A left side of Christine’s face was shrinking. “My heart sank,” Vicki says. That night, as she was putting Christine to bed, the girl rolled on her left side when her mom kissed her goodnight. Vicki noticed her left ear was now visibly smaller than the right. “It took my breath,” Vicki says. “How could I not know that? I was flabbergasted.” Vicki called Christine’s pediatrician the next morning. That was in the fall of 2007, which marked the beginning of the diagnosis period. In March 2008, Vicki finally got the diagnosis. Parry Romberg Syndrome is so rare that only 700 people worldwide have been diagnosed. Most pediatricians never see it in their whole careers. It is an autoimmune disease triggered by a traumatic blow, stress or lyme disease. Doctors think Christine must have had lyme disease at some point, although Vicki doesn’t remember her being bitten by a tick. The disease is accompanied by linear scleroderma, which caused the mark on Christine’s forehead. The disease is not terminal, but Vicki was horrified about its effects nonetheless. She believes that the Phantom of the Opera character is based on a man who had the disease. “I thought, what is this going to do to this child?” Vicki says. The disease primarily affects girls from ages 5 to 15. Although there is no cure, doctors can treat the nerve pain and headaches that accompany with the disease. The disease re-
stricts the bone structure, thus causing a progressive shrinking on one side of the face. Through her research and the Parry Romberg Connection Web site, Vicki found a surgeon, Dr. John Siebert, who practices in both New York City and Madison. He’s had success with microvascular surgery, transplanting tissue to the affected areas of the face. He’s operated on patients with Parry Romberg Syndrome as well as scleroderma and lupus, and is the leading surgeon in treating this disease. In most cases, doctors simply let the disease run its course, and then attempt massive reconstruction when a patient is 15 or 16. Vicki did not want to wait to let that happen to her daughter. Siebert will perform a free flap tissue transplant on Christine, using tissue from her back. This will fill in parts of her face the disease has affected. At first, Christine refused to have the surgery, but has since accepted it, her mom says. One day, she told her mother, out of the blue, “I’m really, really scared.” Vicki tried her best to reassure her daughter. “She was afraid of being by herself in the operating room,” Vicki says. “I told her, you are never by yourself, God is with you every moment.” Christine has not let this disease define her life. “She wears her hair in a ponytail and doesn’t hide her face,” her mom says. “She loves animals. She has a natural ability with horses. Her desire is to own a horse one day.” After surgery, Christine would like to have a dog, her mom adds. She also loves to read and is a wonderful writer. Her mom calls her a social but-

According to Carruth, this allows companies to benefit from part of the federal government’s stimulus program. With that done, he said, a potential buyer can approach the Cabarrus Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Financing Authority. The reason, according to Carruth: to get independent certification from this nongovernmental board qualifying the buyer to sell Recovery Zone Facility Bonds to finance the project. Carruth said that debt would be issued through a financial services company, and the buyer would be responsible for paying it back. Commissioner Liz Poole

And Commissioner Grace Mynatt said she was pleased to hear the announcement. She said she has a personal knowledge of the Moody family. “One of their sons is a close friend of my son,” Mynatt said. “They have quite a history in the music industry and in Nashville.” “Folks may remember that there was a signing group called the Moody Brothers. David Moody is one of them,” Mynatt said. She said that, as announced, the project was “a good fit” for the Philip Morris

Carruth said he knew plans related to the Philip Morris site had been in the works for some time. “We never even knew who it was until the announcement was made,” he said. Privette called the plans “a shot in the arm,” citing the amount of tax revenue lost when Philip Morris relocated its operations.

said that Recovery Zone Facility Bonds might allow a buyer of such a large parcel to get a lower interest rate for their purchase in this economy. But she, along with other commissioners, stressed that the county would not be selling any bonds, and taxpayers would not be involved at all. Earlier Monday, other news outlets erroneously reported that the county was considering selling up to $100 million in bonds related to the project. “The enterprise that’s actually going to develop this would sell these bonds,” Carruth said. “There’s no state or local money that goes to these bonds.” “I think the confusion is because of this board and what it’s named,” Poole said. According to the Cabarrus County website, the Cabarrus Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Financing Authority “provides for the issuance of revenue bonds to aid in financing … facilities which provide job opportunities or better ways to help al-

kin River and his home base, the Twin Lakes Airport in Davie County. I guess I should mention the reason I was in a helicopter Monday afternoon. Behind us, Post photographer Jon Lakey was belted in, but leaning out his open door, clicking pictures on the progress taking place with the widening of I-85 and what will be the eventual construction of a new Yadkin River bridge. Jon said his open-air position was like riding in a Jeep While we were in the vicinity — our budget only allowed us a 30-minute trip — Jon also documented the progress on Buck Steam Station’s construction project. I basically was along for the ride. Watkins circled us around the area for at least 10 minutes before we had to head back to the airport. None of us had lost his cookies, though the helicopter wiggled at times from thermals or air currents. For more than three years, Watkins has been the sole owner and pilot of HeliXpress, making his 2006
with other things. He drives a 1952 MG that has been in his family since 1973. He considers the vintage car a restoration in progress. Watkins also is a beekeeper, tending to his hives at the Twin Lakes Airport. His goal is to be selling both bees and honey by next spring. The name for this business: “Bee Happy Apiary.” For Watkins, it’s a good escape to drive to Twin Lakes from Winston-Salem, talk to his buddies at the airport and, if there are no flights that day, tend to his bees. “I do get to use my biology degree somewhat,” he said. “... The bees will always surprise you. It’s all about the genetics of the queen.” Watkins explained how the mood of the queen sets the tone for the whole hive. If she’s having a bad day, the bees can be pretty angry and restless. Angry and restless were not part of our agenda Monday afternoon. I liked what Watkins said when we first lifted off the ground and lurched southward, gaining height and speed slowly. “We’re off like a herd of turtles,” he said. If only turtles could be this lucky.

The sour economy hasn’t helped business lately. “It’s kind of slow,” Watkins acknowledged, “but if you do something you love, you don’t have to work a day in your life.” Watkins, 28, is a biology and chemistry graduate from Wake Forest University. After school, he backpacked around the world for six months, hitting 18 different countries. Then he got down to business. Always fascinated with helicopters, Watkins received some introductory flight time as a high schooler. He was hooked, but his parents wanted him to earn a college degree first. It wasn’t until after college that Watkins logged the hours needed to become a private pilot, then a certified instructor. “Airplanes just don’t do anything for me,” he said. His parents staked him to the funds to buy his helicopter and set up Heli-Express. But Watkins keeps busy

After the meeting, Carman said he has concerns about moving senior services under DSS even if nothing is cut. DSS is inefficient and can’t handle the workload it has now, he said. In fact, he said, senior services may do better operating on its own without a director. The board’s decision came after a warm recognition of Senior Services Director Clyde Fahnestock. He will retire Nov. 30, giving the county an opportunity to eliminate his position if desired. “Clyde’s done a fantastic job for this county and its senior citizens,” Ford said. Fahnestock thanked his staff and the commissioners for their support, saying he was proud of the job his department has done. “I am the first senior services director, and I hope I’m not the last one,” he said, to applause from the crowd. Page said it’s difficult to talk about eliminating a position after recognizing the person who filled it for 30 years of great work. He explained that the county is looking at a

difficult budget year next year, and it could be looking at cutting libraries and parks to make up for a revenue shortage. It’s not clear whether the department would move from its current location at RuftyHolmes Senior Center or whether other positions would be cut in a consolidation, Page said. He asked for approval to look into how the county could provide the same services at a lower price. Commissioner Jon Barber asked Page for a cost/benefit analysis of available options for restructuring. He said if the changes harm senior citizens, he will be voting to leave the department as it is. He said he had one concern that may seem petty to some but may be a burden on seniors. “If we were to move that department out to the social services center, senior citizens will no longer be dialing 704-216-7700, where someone immediately answers the phone in English,” Barber said. “They will be dialing social services at 704-216-8330, where they will receive recording that says, ‘If you wish to continue in English, stay on the line,’ and then goes immediately into Spanish.” Commissioner Tina Hall repeated Ford’s assertion that the board has no intention of
cutting services to seniors. “I think the room was filled tonight by misinformation and fear, and that’s unfortunate,” she said. After the crowd responded with an emphatic, “no, no, no,” Ford banged the gavel and asked them to keep quiet. Hall said given the “dire straits” the county will be in come budget time, it’s a good idea for Page to try to find a win-win situation that would save money. Commissioner Chad Mitchell asked Page to keep in mind some small details that could be easily overlooked, like case management differences and parking considerations if the department is moved. “I’d like the assessment to include those items so that we minimize unintended consequences,” Mitchell said. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain made the motion to direct Page to research the various options available and present them to the board at its Nov. 16 meeting. “Any time you make a decision like this, you need all the information you can get,” Coltrain said. “But I agree ... if it’s not broken, we don’t need to try to fix it.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

Spokesperson for the event said he expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week for vintage items and precious metals from local residents. At previous events when interviewed these transactions stood out: One person sold an old Gibson guitar that was purchased in the 1960’s for less than $250.00 to a collector at the event for $2175.00 Another person had a pocket watch collection that sold for $4600.00, with one of the watches in this collection bringing $375.00 of the $4600.00 talley. A husband and wife brought in a box of old Jewelry, wristwatches, coins, and two German daggers from WW2 and left $785.00 richer This is cool that something like this would come here to our town. Where else would this stuff ever be sold? The refinery has teamed up with the collectors for a 24 month tour of the United States, both big and small towns to dig up hidden gems.

Man jailed over handicap parking space dispute A dispute over a handicap parking space landed a Salisbury man in jail Sunday. Salisbury Police charged James Michael Wilson, 57, of 1 3 1 8 Parkview Circle, with fighting in public at the Food Lion parking lot, 123 Mahaley Ave. When officers ar- WILSON rived on the scene around 2:45 p.m., they found Dale Stanbeck holding Wilson on the ground with a knee in his chest, Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Witnesses told police Wilson confronted Stanbeck, of 1526 Kingston Drive, Kan-
napolis, about what he believed to be a parking violation after Stanbeck parked in a handicap space. Stanbeck showed Wilson he had a handicap placard in his car, but Wilson continued to argue. Wilson punched Stanbeck in the face, the witnesses told police, then Stanbeck picked Wilson up, slammed him against a vehicle and threw him to the ground. As police assessed the situation, Stanbeck’s wife, Jacqueline Stanbeck, exited the store and became irate with the officers, “causing a scene,” Collins said. Stanbeck stepped in and police cited Stanbeck and his wife with resisting a public officer. Collins said he didn’t know whether the handicap placard was registered to Stanbeck.

Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office announced Monday that Camden, Martin, New Hanover and Washington counties received the declaration. Federal officials initially denied the request for the four counties on Oct. 19, saying those areas did not meet the minimal damage threshold.

he said. White said he and other commissioners just wanted to understand as much as they could about the plan. Commissioner Liz Poole said she felt that Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg’s presentation was strong. Poole said she was comfortable with the financing plan, especially since the county will not be responsible for the debt. “This has been in the process for a long time,” Poole said. Poole, former chair of the Cabarrus County Board of Education, said she had seen examples of a very similar financing model used to pay for new school construction. The issue that most concerned Poole was the placement of the planned Cabarrus Health Alliance facility. She said some residents have contacted commissioners about the plan to put that building in downtown Kannapolis. The present facility is located on South Cannon Boulevard near Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, in the former KMart shopping center. Poole said residents have expressed concerns that the county’s public health department should be in a more central location. “The citizens of the county who are not in Kannapolis would have a long way to go to the health alliance building,” she said. The former Cabarrus County fairgrounds site has been put forward as an alternative. “As a commissioner, I would prefer (the Cabarrus Health Alliance) at a more centrally located site,” Poole said. The county already owns the plot, and Poole said some initial studies had been done. Sidewalks and utilities would have to be added, costing between $400,00 and $800,000 according to estimates given to commissioners. “I’m not ruling out the site in Kannapolis, but we did ask them to look at the site we currently own and see if that site would work,” Poole said. Commissioner Bob Carruth, who was chairman of the board at the time discussion of this financing began, disagreed with his colleague. “I don’t think it’s going to be that great of a benefit to bring it to Concord,” Carruth said. He noted that both sites are accessible by public transportation, and that the costs that would be required to put

the facility at the old fairgrounds would make it just as easy to put the building at the Research Campus. Carruth said he’s ready to see the plan begin moving so that Kannapolis and the Research Campus can start to recover. “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve got the fifteenth of November circled and highlighted in red on my calendar,” Carruth said. “It gets this moving forward. We’ve been with it for almost five years, and it’s time for us to move forward.” Legg told the Post by phone that he felt the commissioners asked good questions about the plan. Regarding growth projections, Legg said that new development wasn’t included in the old TIF district which formed the basis for this plan. Legg also said city and county officials will also have to discuss how money will be applied to the long list of infrastructure projects originally identified. And he said he hoped to see the Cabarrus Health Alliance stay in Kannapolis. “Part of the issue is that the Health Alliance provides a lot of other connections to the Research Campus that are important from a research and patient-based standpoint,” he said. In addition, the location would draw hundreds of people with disposable income into the city, Legg said. The Kannapolis City

POLLS OPEN 6:30 A.M.-7:30 P.M.
Your voice, your vote lection Day 2010 has dawned, finally. If you’re thinking of skipping a visit to the polls this year, here are some good reasons to vote:
E
• • • Vote because you feel our nation is slipping — and this is the only way you can do something about it. “For too long, this country has wandered in darkness,” commentator Glenn Beck said at his Washington rally in August. It is time, he said, to “concentrate on the good things in America, the things we have accomplished and the things we can do tomorrow.” Voting is certainly one of those things.
• • • Vote because you know the country is in better shape than commentators sometimes give us credit for. Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart closed last weekend’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Washington with a few words of sincerity. “The image of Americans that is reflected back to us by our political and media process is false. It is us through a fun house mirror,” Stewart said. Americans work together to get things done every day, he said. “The only place we don’t is here,” he said, pointing behind him at the Capitol building, “or on cable TV.”
• • • Vote because you have faith in democracy, even if you are only one among many. “Freakonomics” authors Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt wrote about the numbers aspect in 2005: Within the economics departments at certain universities, there is a famous but probably apocryphal story about two worldclass economists who run into each other at the voting booth. “What are you doing here?” one asks. “My wife made me come,” the other says. The first economist gives a confirming nod. “The same.” After a mutually sheepish moment, one of them hatches a plan: “If you promise never to tell anyone you saw me here, I’ll never tell anyone I saw you.” They shake hands, finish their polling business and scurry off. Why would an economist be embarrassed to be seen at the voting booth? Because voting exacts a cost — in time, effort, lost productivity — with no discernible payoff except perhaps some vague sense of having done your “civic duty.” But wait. If you don’t do your civic duty by voting, you leave yourself at the political mercy of those who do. This is your chance to have a voice. Vote.
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“The largest party in America, by the way, is neither the Democrats nor the Republicans. It’s the party of non-voters.” — Robert Reich
ALEIGH — Gov. Beverly Perdue issued some new rules the other day about making rules. Apparently, there are too many rules in state government. So she’s made some new rules to stop SCOTT all that. MOONEYHAM To ensure that any new rules are worthy, they’ll have to meet certain standards. Those standards, by the way, could also be called rules. By the way, if you haven’t figured it out by now, government is all about creating rules. Sometimes, the rules are called laws. Sometimes they are called rules. Sometimes they are called standards, or qualifications, or measures. People actually form governments to create rules. Those rules are designed to protect us from one another. A few hundred years ago, some pretty smart guys collectively referred to as the Enlightenment philosophers referred to this kind of thing as the “social contract.” Perdue, though, has decided we need some protection from the rules. She recently issued an executive order instructing state agencies under her authority to avoid making unnecessary rules. She’s also going to embark on a review plan to get rid of current rules that don’t make sense. The governor has the power to curb rules (power established in a set of rules called the state constitution) because the executive branch of state government is charged with filling in the details of laws passed by the legislature. The executive branch accomplishes the task with rules, explaining how the law is to be carried out. Sometimes those affected by the rules complain. Sometimes the complaints are justified. Sometimes they aren’t. Power companies and energy suppliers don’t always like clean air rules. Beachfront property owners don’t always like sea wall rules. Restaurant owners don’t like restaurant inspection rules. But in each of those cases, the rules are intended to keep us safe, or keep us from having to foot the bill for someone’s else foolishness. That’s not to suggest that agencies don’t occasionally pass some silly rules. But every year at the legislature, a battle ensues over some group that believes an executive branch rule is unfair, unduly harsh or was never intended by the law. State legislators can remedy the situation with a more specific law. State rules also have to gain the OK of the Rules Review Commission, created more than a decade ago by the legislature to prevent silly rules. Perdue’s executive order instructs state agencies not to impose rules without a cost-benefit analysis. She also doesn’t want rules that place an “undue burden upon those persons or entities who must comply with the rules.” Those words sound nice. But dirtying the water and air is always cheaper than preventing the pollution. Putting a price tag on health and life isn’t so easy. And if someone’s irresponsible behavior threatens my family’s health, or the value of my property, I could care less if getting them to act more responsibly is considered an undue burden. There’s a social contract to uphold. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes columns for Capitol Press Association.
Our anti-government mood Election is a referendum on working together hat now? By the time you read this, the election will be underway, and you will have a much better sense than I do currently of the magnitude of the shift in the political landscape that will occur on this Election Day. One theory holds that Americans prefer divided legislative and executive branches; Tuesday stands a good chance of putting that theory to the test. Maybe we will JOHN like the new governmental CRISP arrangements better than we like the current ones. But I doubt it. Even though we revere the principle of government “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” many of us are not in a governable mood. Thus the most energetic strain of current American politics is the Tea Party movement, whose essential principle is less government or, in its most fundamental incarnation, virtually no government, at all. And thus we mount ironic complaints against government while many of us enjoy its benefits, like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, our extraordinary interstate highway system, and municipal fire departments that stand ready to efficiently extinguish our house fires at any time of the day or night. And much more. In fact, such is our dissatisfaction with government that “Throw the Bums Out” can
W
pretty much constitute a substantial political platform on its own, and the state of Nevada provides ballots that include the surly option “None of the Above.” How did we get to be so unhappy with the very concept of “government?” After all, the primary, essential purpose of the United States, by definition, is to create and maintain a government. We can argue about how big it should be, but “limited government” is a relative term, and there’s no question that the shape of modern life calls for a much bigger government than the Founders might have imagined. Republicans, and particularly the Tea Party movement, talk a lot about self-reliance. But I suspect that very few would enjoy practicing the self-reliance required to survive in our country even a hundred years ago, much less at the time of our country’s founding. My hardscrabble grandparents raised, harvested, and butchered their own food. If it made them sick, they had only themselves to blame. We pick up our beef and chicken, neatly wrapped in cellophane, at the supermarket on our way home from work. We give hardly a thought to its safety because we’re thoroughly accustomed to a dependable standard of governmental inspection and regulation in food production. The result is a level of food safety that the unfettered market could never produce. Furthermore, throughout most of our history, citizens who got sick or fell into unemployment had little choice but
to depend on their own resources. Those without resources died or were impoverished. Unquestionably, government has gotten bigger in the last hundred years, but generally the result has been a safer, more secure, and more comfortable society. And few of even the most ardent Tea Partiers would want to return to the self-reliance required by the backbreaking and uncertain life of a hundred years ago. Americans have a long history of working together — which is another way of saying “government” — to create a better society. It’s unfortunate that this sense of community effort has largely fallen out of favor. After all, the biggest problems we face now will not be solved by an unregulated free market; in fact, it’s easy to argue that many of these problems — global warming, the chaos in our economy, the growing inequity of wealth — have been caused by the lack of attention to the common good. In many respects, our commitment to the common good is what this election is all about. The extent to which Republicans and Tea Partiers are able to “take their country back” —back from the rest of us, I suppose — will be an index on our continued willingness as a nation to “promote the General Welfare.” • • • John M.

Police take a lesson in diversity BY RORY COLLINS Special to the Salisbury Post
ast week, employees of the Salisbury Police Department went through diversity training at the agency.

diverse cultures and individuals is something that the entire city of Salisbury strives for and one that is extremely important for our police officers. On a daily basis, our officers are encountering individuals from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, and it is certainly beneficial for us to understand and relate with those with whom we are dealing as best we can. I feel that the Salisbury Police Department has made great strides over time to build stronger relationships with the communities we serve, and I am very serious about our growing and developing those relationships to an even greater extent.

GOP feeling confident with takeover in sight WASHINGTON (AP) — A takeover of the House in sight, Republicans brimmed with confidence while Democrats braced for losses on the eve of recession-era elections for control of Congress and dozens of statehouses. “The American people are in charge,” declared GOP leader John Boehner, vowing to shrink the size and cost of government if his party wins power on Tuesday. Favorites and underdogs alike went through their final campaign paces on Monday, beckoning voters to turn out in the small towns of swing House districts and the large urban centers where statewide races are won and lost.
associated press
Florida republican senate candidate Marco rubio hugs a supporter Monday “It does us no good that people are supporting us if they don’t turn into voters,” said Marco Rubio, a Republi-
can rated a strong favorite for a Senate seat in a tangled multi-candidate race in Florida. “When people vote, we win,” said Sen. Blanche Lincoln, an Arkansas Democrat whose re-election bid was written off weeks ago by strategists in her own party. President Barack Obama was home from the campaign trail at the White House after a weekend rush through four states. In an interview with radio host Michael Baisden, he backtracked from previous comments, criticized by Republicans, in which he said Latino voters should punish their “enemies” at the polls. He said he should have used the word “opponents” instead. The president traveled to
14 states in the final month of the campaign, some of them twice, in a bid to rekindle the enthusiasm of young voters, liberals, blacks and independents whose ballots propelled him to the White House. There was little or no doubt that Republicans would pick up seats in a campaign their leaders cast as a repudiation of the president’s policies. But in the Senate, in particular, the size of the gains depended on the fate of several tea party-backed candidates who toppled establishment candidates in the primaries. Most prominent among them are Rand Paul in Kentucky and Sharron Angle, who is challenging Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada.
“This election is entirely about him and this big majority in Congress and what they’ve been doing for the last two years,” Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of said. In the costliest midterm campaign in history, the political parties and outside groups attacked to the end. House Democrats targeted South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson, the lawmaker who shouted “you lie” during Obama’s health care speech to Congress 14 months ago. In a more telling move, they put money down to try and head off late-developing upset threats against Reps. Gene Taylor in Mississippi, Ron Kind in Wisconsin and
Bruce Braley in Iowa. Well-financed GOP-allied outside groups continued to pour money into efforts to turn Republican gains into a major sweep. In all, the Democrats’ House campaign arm spent nearly double the amount bankrolling its candidates that it had in 2008 — $145 million during this election compared with $76 million two years ago. The GOP counterpart shelled out $121 million, more than five times the amount it did two years ago when it lost seats for the second straight election. All 435 House seats are on the ballot on Tuesday, and Republicans need to gain 40 to regain the majority.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A day before the pivotal midterm elections, President Barack Obama pulled back from remarks he made last month when he called on Latino voters to punish their “enemies” on Election Day. In an interview Monday with radio host Michael Baisden, Obama said he should have used the word “opponents” instead of enemies. RepubliOBAMA cans were quick to criticize the president’s remarks, including House Minority Leader John Boehner. “Sadly, we have a president who uses the word ‘enemy’ for fellow Americans, fellow citizens. He used it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government,” Boehner said. Obama’s comments came during an interview with Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo. Piolin asked how Obama could ask Latinos for their vote when many don’t believe he’s worked hard to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Obama responded: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder.”
Man on trial in Smart abduction kicked out of court for singing SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The man accused of the 2002 abduction of Elizabeth Smart was kicked out of a federal courtroom Monday for singing hymns as jury selec-
and there’s blood everywhere,” Griffin’s aunt told a dispatcher on the 911 call. Bratton said the Liskes and Derek Griffin suffered severe trauma to the head. It wasn’t immediately clear whether a gunshot or a blunt object killed them, Bratton said. Autopsies were being conducted. William Liske’s 24-yearold son, also named William Liske, was arrested Sunday at the family’s cabin near Scio, some 170 miles away from Martin. He was jailed, and didn’t have a lawyer as of Monday afternoon. He is due in court this week. The Blade newspaper in Toledo reported that in 2004, the younger Liske was charged with assault and robbery and accused of hitting his stepmother with a coffee cup and taking her car keys. A plea of not guilty by reason of insanity was filed for him. The state later dropped the charges. The younger Liske lives in a halfway house in nearby Sandusky, Bratton said.
Condit denies role in Chandra Levy’s killing, defends cooperation WASHINGTON (AP) — Former California Rep. Gary Condit told jurors Monday that he didn’t murder Chandra Levy and insisted he cooperated fully with police when they investigated the Washington intern’s disappearance nearly a decade ago. But he continued to evade direct CONDIT questions on cross-examination about whether he had an intimate relationship with Levy, saying “we’re all entitled to some level of privacy.” A Salvadoran immigrant, Ingmar Guandique, is on trial for murdering and attempting to assault Levy back in 2001.

Woman convicted in bizarre Pa. collar bomb bank robbery ERIE, Pa. (AP) — A 61year-old woman was convicted of participating in a bizarre plot in which a pizza delivery driver was forced to rob a bank wearing a metal bomb collar that later exploded, killing him. The jury deliberated about 12 hours Friday and Monday before convicting MarARMSTRONG jorie DiehlArmstrong, of Erie, on charges of armed bank robbery, conspiracy and using a destructive device in a crime of violence for her role in the bank robbery that killed 46year-old Brian Wells. She faces a mandatory life sentence. Brian Wells walked into a PNC bank on Aug. 28, 2003, with a metal collar bomb locked onto his neck. He walked out with $8,702 but was stopped nearby by police, who put him in handcuffs and waited for a bomb squad to arrive. Before it did, the bomb exploded, killing Wells. Prosecutors later revealed that they believed the crime had been plotted by five people. Wells was in on it, at least at first.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A 16-year-old boy thought he had stumbled onto a Halloween prank when he found the bloodied bodies of his brother, mother and stepfather in his family’s home in northwest Ohio, authorities said Monday. His stepbrother, who authorities say has a history of mental health problems, was arrested in the slayings. Devon Griffin had spent the night out and returned home Sunday to change his clothes before church, authorities said. After returning from church, he discovered the bodies of his brother, Derek Griffin, 23; their mother, Susan Liske; and her husband, William Liske, in their Martin home. The teenager told authorities it looked like a joke from a Halloween party, Ottawa County Sheriff Bob Bratton said. But he soon realized the bodies weren’t decorations. He ran outside and called an aunt, who called 911. “My nephew came home

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Arizona’s immigration law faced tough scrutiny from a federal appeals panel Monday as the state’s governor appeared in person to support the controversial provision on the day before the election in which she’s seeking her first full term. 9th The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sigBREWER naled it was ready to toss out the provision of Arizona’s law that criminalizes the failure to carry immigration papers showing lawful residency in the United States. But the three-judge panel didn’t tip its hand over which way it was leaning on other provisions of the state law that touched off a national furor when Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed it April 23. Among the provisions at issue is the requirement that police — when enforcing other laws — must question the immigration status of people they have reason to suspect are in the country illegally.

Baghdad siege ends with 47 dead BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces stormed a Baghdad church where militants had taken an entire congregation hostage for four hours, leaving at least 47 people dead, including a priest, Iraqi officials said Monday. It was not immediately clear whether the hostages died at the hands of the attackers or during the rescue late on Sunday night in an affluent neighborhood of the capital. The incident began when militants wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades attacked the Iraqi stock exchange at dusk Sunday before turning their attention to the nearby Our Lady of Deliverance church — one of Baghdad’s main Catholic places of worship — taking about 120 Christians hostage. Officials said at least one priest and 10 policemen were among the dead. Many of the 62 wounded were women. The casualty information came from police and officials at hospitals where the dead and wounded were taken. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. There were conflicting accounts about the number of attackers involved in the assault, with Baghdad military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi saying Sunday night that security forces
killed eight, while the U.S. military said between five and seven died. Two police officers on the scene, however, say only three attackers were killed and another seven arrested afterward. A cryptically worded statement posted late Sunday on a militant website allegedly by the Islamic State of Iraq appeared to claim responsibility for the attack. The group, which is linked to al-Qaida in Iraq, said it would “exterminate Iraqi Christians� if Muslim women in Iraq were not freed. It also specifically mentioned two women in Egypt that extremists maintain have converted to Islam and are being held against their will in Egypt. The Egyptian women are wives of priests that are believed to have converted to Islam to leave their husbands, since divorce is banned by the Coptic Church. One woman disappeared in 2004 and another in July of this year. Egypt’s Christians maintained they had been kidnapped and demonstrated for their release. Both were later recovered by police, denied any conversions and were then spirited away to distant monasteries. In the message, the militants claim the two are still Muslim and they called upon

Islamic militants held around 120 Iraqi Christians hostage for nearly four hours in the Syrian Catholic Church in Baghdad before security forces stormed the building. the Vatican, which held a meeting earlier in October to discuss the fate of Christians in the Middle East, to release the women. “We direct our speech to the Vatican and say that as you met with Christians of the Mideast a few days ago to support them and back them, now you have to pressure them to
release our sisters, otherwise death will reach you all,� the message said. Iraqi Christians, who have been frequent targets for Sunni insurgents, have left in droves since the 2003 U.S.-led war. Catholics used to represent 2.89 percent of the population in 1980; by 2008 they were just .89 percent.
LONDON (AP) — Britain outlined the sharpest cuts to public spending since World War II on Wednesday — slashing benefits and cutting public sector jobs with an austerity plan aimed at clearing record debts that swelled during the global financial crisis. After the country spent billions bailing out indebted banks, and suffered a squeeze on tax revenue and an increase in welfare bills, Treasury chief George Osborne has staked the coalition government's future on tough economic remedies. Osborne confirmed there would be 81 billion pounds ($128 billion) in spending cuts through 2015, which he claims are necessary along with some tax increases to wipe out a spending deficit of 109 billion pounds ($172 billion). As many as half a million public sector jobs will be lost, about 18 billion ($28.5 billion) axed from welfare payments and the pension age raised to 66 by 2020, earlier than previously planned. Even Queen Elizabeth II will take a hit, asked to trim the budget the government provides for her staff by 14 percent. “It is a hard road, but it leads to a better future,� Osborne said, preparing the public for hardship as he seeks a balanced budget within four years.
Yemen: Al-Qaida insider told Saudis of bomb plot
Indonesian volcano booms with new blast; others rumble
SAN'A, Yemen (AP) — Information that helped thwart the plot of U.S.-bound mail bombs wired to explode on cargo planes came from an alQaida insider who was secreted out of Yemen after surrendering to Saudi authorities, Yemeni security officials said Monday. The tip reflects how Saudi Arabia has worked aggressively for years to infiltrate al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which is operating in the un-
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) — Deafening explosions of hot gas rattled evacuees miles (kilometers) from an Indonesian volcano Monday, the latest eruption in a deadly week. The country reported increased rumblings at 21 other active volcanoes, raising questions about what's causing the uptick along some of the world's most volatile fault lines.
ruly, impoverished nation on its southern doorstep. The tip came from Jabir alFayfi, a Saudi who was held for years at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007. Soon after, he fled Saudi Arabia and joined the al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen, until he turned himself in to Saudi authorities in September. Yemeni security officials said they believe al-Fayfi may have been a double agent,
planted by Saudi Arabia in Yemen among al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula militants to uncover their plots. The officials said that after his return to the kingdom, he told authorities that al-Qaida was planning to send bomb-laden packages. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Tribal leaders in Yemen aware of the situation, and similarly speaking on condition of anonymity, con-
firmed al-Fayfi’s role. Saudi Arabia has been recruiting informants in the terrorist network and also has been paying Yemeni tribal chiefs — and even gives cash to figures in the Yemeni military — to gain their loyalty. President Barack Obama thanked Saudi King Abdullah, a top U.S. ally, in a Saturday telephone call for the “critical role� by Saudi counterterrorism authorities in uncovering the plot.
No casualties were reported in Mount Merapi's new blast, which came as Indonesia struggles to respond to an earthquake-generated tsunami that devastated a remote chain of islands. The two disasters unfolding on opposite ends of the country have killed nearly 500 people and strained the government's emergency response network. In both events, the military has been called in to help. Merapi has killed 38 people since it started erupting a week ago.
Greece: Suspects carried letter bomb targeting Sarkozy ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police foiled four attempted parcel bomb attacks Monday, allegedly targ e t i n g F r e n c h President Nicolas Sarkozy and three embassies in Athens, after one of the devices SARKOZY exploded at a delivery service, leaving a worker hospitalized with burns. Motorcycle police later detained two Greek men, aged 22 and 24, several hundred meters from the blast site in central Athens. Police said the men were carrying handguns and bullets in waist pouches, and one of them wore a bulletproof vest, a wig and a baseball cap. The suspects have not yet been charged. Police said domestic political extremists were suspected, and one of the two men detained had been wanted in connection with a Greek radical anarchist group. Authorities said the bombs were not particularly powerful, and no link was made with the Yemen-based mail bomb plot.

Giant feat in Texas San Francisco wraps up World Series title
Staff report
BY BEN WALKER Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Say Hey. Giants 3 Say World Rangers 1 Series champions. The prize that eluded Willie and Barry for so long finally belongs to the San Francisco Giants, thanks to a band of self-described castoffs and their shaggy-haired ace. Tim Lincecum, Edgar Renteria and the Giants won the title Monday night, beating the Texas Rangers 3-1 in a tense Game 5 and taking the trophy home to the city by the Bay for the first time. “San Francisco is going nuts, we’re going nuts and it feels really good,” closer Brian Wilson said. It was an overdue victory. Willie Mays led the Giants to their previous crown in 1954, four
years before they moved West. After that, they never quite Game 4 hero got it done has local ties, 3B despite the likes of baseball giants Barry Bonds, Juan Marichal and Willie McCovey. “This buried a lot of bones — ‘62, ‘89, 2002,” Giants general manager Brian Sabean said, ticking off losing Series appearances. “This group deserved it, faithful from the beginning. We’re proud and humbled by the achievement.” Lincecum outdueled Cliff Lee in a matchup that was scoreless until Renteria earned the Series MVP award by hitting a stunning three-run homer with two outs in the seventh inning.

Salisbury’s girls golf team hopes to pull off a comeback similar to the one that clinched a state title for West Henderson last season. Salisbury posted a 251 total during Monday’s opening round of the 1A/2A/3A championships at Longleaf in Southern Pines. West Henderson leads the second-place Hornets by 10 strokes heading into today’s final round, and third-place Northern Guilford fired a 258. Salisbury’s scorers were junior Lily Yatawara (10-over 81, tied for 11th), senior Madison Kennedy (84, tied for 21st) and senior Amber Lyerly (86). Madeline Hoskins, a freshman who will be with Salisbury’s top-ranked tennis team today, added a 93.

West Henderson’s scorers were defending individual champ Kayla Sciupider (72, second), Payton Culler (84) and Chandler Danielson (85). The individual leader is Wilson Fike’s Mallory Warrick, who opened with a 71. Sciupider climbed back into contention with a 33 on the back nine. Last season, Salisbury led West Henderson by eight shots at the halfway point but finished nine behind the Falcons.

KANNAPOLIS — Dice, Showstopper, Juggernaut and Weapon X are the flamboyant nicknames for an otherwise meat-and-potatoes A.L. Brown defensive line. The foursome, in o r der, is Dominique Phifer, Jericho Rivers, PHIFER Gerald Holt and Mark Goodjohn. It’s a safe bet no one outside the SPC knows their names, but they’re pretty good. Goodjohn and Phifer are senior ends. Interior guys Holt and Rivers are juniors. RIVERS Rivers, a rising star, is apparently good enough that he has earned two nicknames. “They call him Showstopper,” Goodjohn said. “But I call him Bonecrusher.” Defensive GOODJOHN line coach Shon Galloway has the luxury of “rolling” eight players to keep everyone fresh. Spelling the starters are Darius Rice, Allen Wagner, Shane Harris and Anthony Shaw. HOLT “The backups don’t have nicknames,” the affable Holt said. “But we love ’em. They’re out there practicing hard every day.” Galloway understands he’s not coaching superstars. Brown (9-1) may not have a conference player of the year on offense or defense, even if it beats Concord and finishes 7-0 in the SPC. None of the defensive linemen have awesome stats, and Brown has given up 17.2 points a game. That’s not bad, but it’s not scary.

Trey Ledbetter, the new boys basketball coach at East Rowan, talks to players during the first day of tryouts. The Mustangs went 2-19 last season.
East’s Ledbetter knows best BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Football players Roby Holmes and Kevin Gillespie still have one game left with their fall sport, so they watched from the bleachers as new coach Trey Ledbetter conducted the first day of varsity basketball tryouts at East Rowan. Holmes made the varsity as a
sophomore last fall when Jim Lankford was serving as interim coach on a one-year basis, but he requested to stick with the jayvees. LEDBETTER The reason? Holmes’ father, Jimmy, was certain Ledbetter would be East’s next varsity coach
Ledbetter’s knowledge is about to be tested. Probably his patience, as well, when he tangles with veteran coaches such as West Rowan’s Mike Gurley and Carson’s Brian Perry. East was 2-19 in 2009-10 and dropped its last 16 games. When you lose 16 straight, the offseason seems to drag on forever.

and wanted his son to get used to playing for him. Holmes played well for Ledbetter and endorses him. “I’ve played for a lot of basketball HOLMES coaches, but he’s the best one,” Holmes said. “He really knows what he’s doing.”
Andrew Mitchell is the new boys coach at North Rowan.
At East, Trey Ledbetter takes over for Jim Lankford on the boys side and Danielle Porter replaces Karen Garmon with the girls. Ledbetter and Porter are both former Mustang players. At Salisbury, Jason Causby waved goodbye to the boys and MCNEIL assistant Justin Morgan is now in charge. Chris McNeil replaces Andrew Mitchell on the girls side.
Mitchell left after winning a 2A state title. The Hornets return every important player other than guard Bubbles Phifer and are favored to win a third straight championship. So why would Mitchell leave? Easy. He was offered the boys job at North Rowan, his alma mater. You can’t blame him. Blood is thicker than titles, I guess. North’s boys could make some noise in the 1A playoffs.

Catawba’s football team is ranked third in Super Region 2 in the first regional poll that was released on Monday. Albany State (9-0) is the only unbeaten team in the region and is ranked No. 1. Perennial Gulf South kingpin Valdosta State (7-1) is ranked second. Catawba (6-2) is next in line. Wingate (6-2) is fourth. North Alabama (7-2) and Morehouse (8-1) round out the top six. Catawba’s win at No. 4 Wingate was obviously huge. The only other SAC team in the top 10 is No. 9 Carson-Newman (6-3), which handed Catawba its lone league loss.

Hamlin avoids Talladega disaster BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Denny Hamlin wanted only to leave Talladega Superspeedway with Jimmie Johnson still in his sights in the tense race for the NASCAR championship. Mission accomplished after a furious final push Sunday gave Hamlin a ninth-place finish — just two spots behind the four-time defending series champion — and left him just 14 points out of the lead with three races remaining in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. All in all it was a pretty solid result. Yet the driver seemed disheartened as he dissected his day at the one track that posed the most risk in this thrilling three-man race for the title. “It wasn’t very fun,” he lamented. No, it wasn’t. But considering it could have been a disastrous day — bad enough to end his championship chances on the spot — he should have been ecstatic. See, Hamlin gambled and went with the popular practice of racing at the back of the pack in an effort to avoid any
unnecessary danger. The strategy has worked wonders at Daytona and Talladega over the years, where drivers take a lazy Sunday drive before turning on the jets for a final mad dash to the finish. Because of his precarious points position — Hamlin started the day just six behind Johnson — he couldn’t risk a catastrophic crash and had to play it safe early in the race. The plan backfired when a round of green-flag pit stops caused Hamlin to fall too far back from the pack. He was out of the draft, and dropping like a rock with zero power to stop his slide. Hamlin was 15 seconds behind the leaders. Then 20. Then 30. Then nearly 40 and his rearview mirror showing the field hurtling toward him. Strategies were discussed, including Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch’s offer to drop back and rescue Hamlin, but the team decided against the move. Michael Waltrip, a fellow Toyota driver, had a brief window to go get Hamlin, but that too didn’t materialize. “In a way, you’re kind of thinking ‘Well, we’ll get the draft back,’” team president J.D. Gibbs said. “And then
when we kind of realized, ‘You aren’t getting it,’ it was almost too late to send those guys back, because then they could go a lap down, too.” Hamlin did fall a lap down, and the only help he could get was a promise from fellow Toyota driver David Reutimann to make a hole for Hamlin to slide into as the pack closed in on his stranded car. It worked, Hamlin fell into line, then had to ride around and hope cautions fell his way and he could get back on the lead lap. When he did, it was game on. He hooked up with Busch and sliced his way through traffic, even leading four laps. But time at the front can be short-lived at Talladega, and when Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus told his driver to get moving with 15 laps to go, Johnson and teammate Jeff Gordon barreled to the lead. Hamlin and Busch got shuffled back into traffic, and were stuck in the pack when caution was called for debris with eight laps to go. Hamlin was listed in 18th on the restart with four laps remaining, and had to furiously slide his way through traffic to save his finish.

Singler, Barnes on AP preseason All-America team Associated Press
Fierce rivals, Duke and North Carolina are all tied up to start the preseason. Duke’s Kyle Singler was the leading vote-getter and only repeat selection for The Associated Press preseason men’s basketball All-America team, while UNC’s Harrison Barnes became the first freshman to make the list since voting began before the 1986-87 season. Singler was listed on 62 of 65 ballots. Barnes received the lowest vote total of the starters with 17. Joining them were Jacob Pullen of Kansas State with 53 votes, BYU’s Jimmer Fredette with 49 and Purdue’s JaJuan Johnson with 46. “This is indicative of the great respect that Harrison has nationally, and it’s an unbelievable accomplishment for a freshman,” said Tar Heels coach Roy Williams, who is coming off his first non-NCAA tournament season at North Carolina. “I
know Harrison would agree, however, that it would be even more exciting to make the All-America team that’s picked after the season. “So far in practice, he has shown the ability to grasp things that we are teaching very quickly, he has tremendous concentration and I fully expect that is he going to be a very important player for us from day one.” Singler, a 6-8 senior forward, averaged 16.5 points and 7.7 rebounds last season, which he started on the preseason All-America team and finished with an honorable mention postseason selection. “Someone asked me if we don’t win a national championship, will it ruin the year? You just never know what to expect in the year and toward the end of the year. We’re not worried about that right now,” Singler said of the 2010-11 Blue Devils, who were the No. 1 choice in the preseason Top 25. “There’s so much we can accomplish, especially at the beginning
of the year and the middle of the year. There’s so much to learn and experience.” CHARLOTTE — The CIAA voted unanimously on a three-year extension that will keep its prestigious basketball tournament in Charlotte through 2014. Commissioner Leon Kerry told The Associated Press the Division II league of mostly historically black colleges and universities decided to stray from past history and hold the event in the same spot for nine straight years. “We usually move the tournament every six years,” Kerry said. “We’re here because the fans love Charlotte. They like the arena, they like the things you can do in Charlotte. And we did a survey and I think 98 percent of the fans said they’d return to Charlotte.” The tournament brings in upward of 180,000 people for events that include celebrity-hosted parties, concerts, fashion shows, cooking shows and what’s billed as

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Jordan Williams scored 18 points, Cliff Tucker had 15 points and 10 assists, and Maryland used a 45-7 firsthalf run to roll past Florida Southern 106-58 in an exhibition game. LEXINGTON, Ky. — Freshman point guard Brandon Knight scored 22 points and Darius Miller added 21 for Kentucky in a 97-66 exhibition win over Pikeville.

NBA CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored a career-high 40 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 110-98 victory over Portland. Derrick Rose added 16 points and 12 assists. Tom Thibodeau said injured forward Carlos Boozer is expected to have the cast removed from his broken right hand today. ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks agreed to a five-year, $60 million contract extension with All-Star center Al Horford.
NHL PHILADELPHIA — Scott Hartnell scored two goals and Claude Giroux added
one to lead Philadelphia over Carolina 3-2. Carolina’s Patrick Dwyer tied the game early in the second period. Jeff Skinner, the seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft and, at 18, the youngest player in the league, assisted on Dwyer’s goal. Joe Corvo pulled the Hurricanes within a goal with 27 seconds left in the game. NEW YORK — Brandon Dubinsky’s second goal of the game, a power-play tally in the first minute of the third period, snapped a tie and helped the New York Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Patrick Kane answered that goal to tie it at 2 at 6:08 of the third, but Erik Christensen put New York back on top just 28 seconds later.

Game 4 hero made stops in Salisbury, Kannapolis BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
San Francisco Giants rookie lefthander Madison Bumgarner, who pitched eight shutout innings in Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night, made appearances in the Salisbury area as an amateur and professional player. The 21-year-old Bumgarner, whom the Giants drafted 10th overall out of South Caldwell High School in 2007, allowed three hits and struck out six batters in a 4-0 victory against Texas. He’s the fourth-youngest starting pitcher to earn a World Series win and the second-youngest — behind only Jim Palmer — to throw at least eight shutout innings in a World Series game. It was the best start by a rookie since 1948, when Cleveland’s Gene Bearden shut out the Boston
Braves in Game 3. Recently, Bumgarner compared postseason pressure in the majors to what he faced as a South Caldwell senior, when he led the Spartans to a sweep of Wilming- BUMGARNER ton Ashley in the 4A state championship series. “Sounds ridiculous, but at the time as a high school player, that’s the biggest game I had played in,” Bumgarner told reporters Sunday night. “Now, obviously this is way bigger. It’s the World Series, the biggest game you’re going to play in. I try to just go out there and tell myself it’s just another game, though, and look back on it after it’s over with and hopefully it was a good result.”
Bumgarner struck out 12 batters for South Caldwell in a 4-1 win over Ashley at Zebulon’s Five County Stadium, then capped a 10-0, seriesclosing victory with an inside-thepark homer. Bumgarner also played for the Caldwell County American Legion team. He had a two-run single and pitched a perfect ninth inning in a 5-3 home win against Rowan County in 2005. One night later, playing at Newman Park, he doubled off the center-field wall and launched a two-run homer in a 14-10 loss. One year later, he put on a brilliant display during batting practice at Newman Park. “Madison’s the first guy to hit, so we’re all standing there watching,” Rowan’s Micah Jarrett said that day. “He’s taking nice, easy strokes and

FroM 1B Nelson Cruz homered in the bottom half, but Lincecum returned to his wicked self and preserved the lead. Lincecum won this game of Texas Hold ‘em, beating Lee for the second time in a week. He gave up three hits over eight innings and struck out 10. The two-time NL Cy Young winner arrived at Rangers Ballpark wearing a bow tie, as if he was going to a party. He had one on the mound, for sure. “Pretty collected,” he said. “I was very poised out there. From the first inning on my adrenaline kind of just dissipated and I was able to calm down.” Wilson pitched a perfect ninth for a save, completing a surprising romp through the postseason for a pitching-rich team that waited until the final day to clinch a playoff spot. Wilson struck out Cruz swinging to end it, turned toward center field and crossed his wrists in front of his chest as he does after all his saves. “All the experts out there picked us last,” Huff said. Normally rough and tough, he teared up. Manager Bruce Bochy enjoys calling his Giants a ragtag bunch. Maybe Renteria, Cody Ross, Huff and Freddy Sanchez fit that description. Cut loose by other clubs this season and before, they all wound up in San Francisco. But the foundation of this team — for now, for the foreseeable future — is totally home grown, built on a deep, talented and young rotation, a rookie catcher with huge star potential and their funky closer. “For us to win for our fans, it’s never been done there, and with all those great teams,” Bochy said. Bonds spent 15 years wearing the black and orange. “There is no city that deserves this championship more,” Bonds said in a statement. “I grew up watching my dad and godfather as Giants, lived out my dream playing in the same uniform in front of the best fans in the world and I just witnessed the Giants winning the World Series. I am ecstatic for the team, the
banging it off the wall. Then he starts hitting them over the wall.” Weston Church, Rowan’s starting pitcher that day, was equally impressed. “You shoulda seen it,” he gushed at the time. “Oh, my God. Everything was off the wall or over the trees.” Church ended up throwing eight shutout innings in a 6-1 victory, and Bumgarner finished 0-for-4 at the plate. Later that summer, he hit two homers in an 11-10 state tournament victory against Kannapolis at Thomasville’s Finch Field. San Francisco drafted Bumgarner the next summer, and he pitched for the Augusta GreenJackets at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium in a South Atlantic League game against the Kannapolis Intimidators one year later. Bumgarner allowed six hits and no runs in 61⁄3 innings of a 4-2 victo-
ry. He recorded 10 strikeouts, issued no walks and reached 97 mph on the stadium’s radar gun. Gordon Beckham, now a standout with the Chicago White Sox, struck out twice in three at-bats against Bumgarner. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was in the park that night to watch his son, Oney, play second base for the Intimidators. Guillen referenced that visit to Kannapolis while praising Bumgarner during the FOX postgame show Sunday night. Bumgarner’s calmness against Texas amazed his San Francisco teammates. “(I) just keep telling myself to relax,” Bumgarner told reporters. “And I’ve told myself so much that it’s starting to become second nature. It makes it a lot easier on me and the players, I think, to see somebody that’s relaxed out there throwing.”

His 11th-inning single ended Game 7 of the 1997 World Series and lifted Florida over Cleveland. Forget that he made the last out in the 2004 Series that finished Boston’s sweep of St. Louis — this journeyman’s path led to another title, helped by his go-ahead home run in Game 2. “It was a tough year for me,” the oft-injured shortstop said. “I told myself to keep working hard and keep in shape because something is going to be good this year.” A team seemingly free of egos did everything right to take the lead. Ross, the surprising MVP of the NL championship series, stayed square and hit a leadoff single and Juan Uribe followed with another hit up the middle. That put a runner at second base for the first time in the game and brought up Huff, who led the Giants in home runs this year. So what did he do? He expertly put down the first sacrifice bunt of his career. Lee struck out Pat Burrell to keep the runners put, but Ross began hopping home as soon as Renteria connected, sending a drive that kept sailing and landed over the leftcenter field wall. “It was a classic pitchers’ duel down to that home run. Nobody in this room is more disappointed than I am,” Lee said. And just like that, all the Giants’ past troubles seemed
like ancient history. Bonds, Mays and several other former San Francisco stars are still a part of the Giants family. Bonds got a hallowed home-run record, but questions persist about alleged steroids use. He visited the Giants clubhouse during the Series and got a big hand from fans when he took his seat at AT&T Park. His godfather, the 79-yearold Mays, was supposed to throw out the ceremonial first ball, but the Say Hey Kid was absent because of illness. The Giants won their previous title when they played in New York at the Polo Grounds. They moved West in 1958 and had tried ever since to escape a sort of big league Alcatraz — the place where teams get stuck for decades as also-rans. Exactly when these Giants turned into world beaters is hard to say. Trailing San Diego by 71⁄2 games in the NL West on July 4, they meandered in the wild-card race until the stretch run, winning the division and finishing 92-70. Come the playoffs, they became dangerous. Any wellarmed team is. Start with Matt Cain — three postseason starts, a 0.00 ERA. Throw in Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young winner. Add Madison Bumgarner, the 21-year-old rookie who helped blank Texas in Game 4. “This doesn’t make sense,” Cain said. “You don’t realize it. It’s something that’s surreal. But that’s what we are, World Series champs.”

Indianapolis exacts revenge on Texans BY MICHAEL MAROT Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton M a n ning got Colts 30 I n d i a n a p o l i s ’ Texans 17 makeshift offense chugging like its old self Monday night. The four-time league MVP threw for two touchdowns, then watched Mike Hart run for a career-high 84 yards and Jacob Tamme score his first career TD to help Indy get past Houston 30-17. The victory allowed the Colts (5-2) to get even in the head-to-head series with Houston (4-3) and gave the defending AFC champions sole possession of the South Division lead for the first time this season. And even though the Colts were missing All-Pro tight end Dallas
Clark, receiver Austin Collie and running back Joseph Addai with injuries, Manning and his teammates didn’t miss a beat. “Whoever’s in there has to find a way to do the job. It’s not always going to be pretty, but we’ve just got to keep grinding and making some plays,” Manning said. Manning went 26 of 45 for 268 yards. Hart ran with the same determination he used to become Michigan’s career rushing leader and provided the Colts with a rare ground game, and Tamme, Clark’s replacement, caught six passes for 64 yards. But it wasn’t just the new guys making plays — or only the offense. Reggie Wayne caught a touchdown pass, Manning ran for a first down for the first time in nearly two years, and even became the lead
blocker on a first-down catch-andrun by Pierre Garcon in the third quarter. Indy’s defense put consistent pressure on Houston quarterback Matt Schaub, too. That’s how important Monday’s game was to the Colts. “It’s a big win and we needed it,” Tamme said. Schaub struggled horribly in the first half and couldn’t rally the Texans in the second as defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis applied pressure. Indy had three sacks. The louder-than-normal crowd created problems for Schaub hearing play calls on his helmet radio, barking out signals to teammates, and even trying to make plays. The 2009 NFL leader in yards passing finished the half 5 of 15 for 37 yards with one
interception and a rating of 14.6. Schaub was better in the second half, finishing 22 of 38 for 201 yards with one TD. But the damage was already done. “What a great job of playing hard and coming back,” Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. “When bad things happen to them, they don’t take it lightly.” The Colts made sure more bad things wouldn’t happen Monday night. The Colts went 78 yards on their second series, getting a 2-yard TD pass from Manning to Tamme to make it 7-0. On the second play of the second quarter, the maligned defense gave Indy the play it desperately needed. Kelvin Hayden jumped in front of Kevin Walter, picked off Schaub’s pass on the dead run and sprinted 25
Minnesota parts ways with Moss
yards to make it 14-0. Neil Rackers banked in a 53-yard field goal to get Houston within 14-3 with 12 minutes to go in the half, but that was a speed bump for the Colts. Manning took them 36 yards, running off nearly all of the half’s final six minutes before Adam Vinatieri booted a season-long 48-yard field goal to make it 17-3 at halftime. Manning didn’t stop there. After converting a third-and-10 early in the second half, Manning threw a screen pass to the right to Pierre Garcon, who cut all the way across the field and followed his surprise lead blocker — No. 18 — for a 14-yard gain and a first down. Four plays later, Manning took the more conventional route by throwing a flanker screen to Wayne, who sprinted 15 yards to make it 24-3.
State’s focus shifts to beating Clemson BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
Associated Press
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Just four weeks ago, Randy Moss gushed about returning to Minnesota. One day after Moss’ rant following a loss at New England, the happy reunion was over. Vikings players confirmed Monday that coach Brad Childress informed them during a team meeting that the wide receiver had been released. “This decision was made based on what we thought was in the best interests of the Minnesota Vikings, both in the short and long term,” Childress said Monday night in a team-issued statement. “We wish Randy the best as he moves forward in his career.” Moss repeatedly expressed admiration for coach Bill Belichick and his former team Sunday and criticized the Vikings for not paying enough attention to his advice in the run-up to the game. “I’m definitely down that we lost this game. I didn’t expect we’d lose this game,” Moss said. “I don’t know how many more times I’ll be in New England again. But I leave Coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: ‘I love you guys. I miss you. I’m out.’ ” REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — Mike Shanahan changed his story in a hurry. The new explanation: Donovan McNabb was benched more because of his body, not his brain. Less than 24 hours after declaring he yanked McNabb because of a “gut feel” relating to the quarterback’s less-thanfull competence in the offense, the Washington Redskins coach instead insisted it was a pre-planned move that had more to do with “cardiovascular endurance” issues. McNabb, because of nagging hamstring and groin injuries, wasn’t in good enough shape to run a two-minute offense with no timeouts — according to Shanahan. COWBOYS IRVING, Texas — After watching every game film from this season, plus several more from last season, Wade Phillips concluded the Dallas Cowboys are 1-6 because of poor fundamentals. So he’s putting them back in training-camp mode. He’s bounced his plan off owner Jerry Jones and apparently has been told to go for it. PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick completed his first full practice since sustaining a rib cartilage injury on Oct. 3, and he expects to start when the Eagles host Indianapolis on Sunday. FALCONS FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta coach Mike Smith doesn’t know if Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson (concussion) will be cleared to return to practice this week. BUCS TAMPA, Fla. — Head coach Raheem Morris reiterated that he’s not backing off his claim that the Bucs (5-2) are the best team in the NFC, saying his players believe it — and he’s not one to tell them different. “This is not trash-talking. It’s a mentality,” Morris said. “It’s a mentality before it’s a reality. If you don’t believe you can win, you probably won’t.”

Miserable Panthers sticking with Moore BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Matt Moore still has his job and John Fox insists he’s not worried about his. It’s just that nobody can seem to figure out how to end a dizzying display of offensive ineptitude that could rewrite the Carolina Panthers record book. Fox spent his Monday press conference after the latest failed effort to move the ball replying simply, “yep,” when asked if Moore will remain the starting quarterback ahead of rookie Jimmy Clausen. Moore threw three more interceptions in a 20-10 loss to St. Louis that left the Panthers (1-6) the NFL’s lowest scoring team (12.1 points), worst offensive unit (251.4 yards a game) and last in turnover margin (minus-10). Despite playing in only four-plus games, Moore has thrown 10 interceptions and two lost fumbles, accounting for more than half of Carolina’s NFL-high 23 turnovers. But Fox was quick to point out miscommunication with the Panthers’ underwhelming receiving unit. “There were some other areas that broke down on some of the interceptions,” Fox said. “I don’t think I can pin it on” Moore. Fox, who has never finished worse than 7-9 in his eight previous years in Carolina, also shook off questions about his future. Denied a contract extension over the past two years, Fox is in the last year of his deal after the Panthers spent the offseason overhauling the roster and shedding payroll to become the NFL’s youngest team. “I don’t think it matters if you have four years or one year and I don’t care if you’re a player or a coach,” Fox said of his contract. “I think in the times now we’re all well compensated. “I don’t think I’ve ever really worried about having a job in this league. I’m not going to start now.” While Fox has taken subtle shots at the roster-gutting earlier this season, he disputed Monday the claim the Panthers don’t have enough offensive talent to be competitive — even if statistics say otherwise. Carolina’s 85 points are 33 fewer than the NFL’s second-lowest scoring team, Cleveland. Its eight touchdowns are three fewer than second-to-last Miami. The 13 interceptions are a league-high and the Panthers are getting inconsistent performances from rookie receivers and new offensive linemen. Even four-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve
Smith is struggling. He dropped two passes and had a key fumble in the fourth quarter that led to St. Louis’ clinching touchdown. “I have always believed we have enough talent,” Fox said. “It is just a matter of executing your assignment on a particular play.” The running game, which used to be at the heart of Fox-coached teams here, is not immune. As DeAngelo Williams (left foot) sat out against the Rams, Jonathan Stewart managed 30 yards on 14 carries. With Williams hobbling in the locker room Monday and saying only, “I’m doing my best to get back on the field,” the Panthers have dropped to 28th in the league in rushing. After a team-best 1,133 yards rushing last season, Stewart has 178 yards in seven games and is averaging 2.8 yards a carry behind an offensive line that’s struggled to block. “Did you see any holes?” Stewart said Monday, reluctant to talk. “As an offensive unit, we’re just not making enough plays. Point blank.” Sunday’s dismal performance, coming a week after Carolina’s first win against San Francisco, left a dark reality with games against New Orleans (5-3), Tampa Bay (5-2) and Baltimore (5-2) the next three weeks. The Panthers, who have scored 10 or fewer points four times, are on pace to score 194 points. That would shatter the previous worst offensive showing of 253 in 2001 when they went 1-15. Nothing Carolina tries seems to works. The normally conservative Fox signed off on a flea-flicker on the first play from scrimmage against St. Louis. Moore was pressured, threw off his back foot, and was easily intercepted. Later in the first quarter, receiver David Gettis lost 11 yards on a reverse. It was part of a day that produced 201 yards and more headaches for a team two years removed from an NFC South title. “We’ve just got to keep going, keep plugging away, trying to get a win,” Moore said. “You’ve just have to keep that attitude or you’ve got no shot.”
NOTES: Right tackle Jeff Otah said Monday he still isn’t ready practice this week but isn’t ready to shut it down for the year. Otah hasn’t played or practiced all season because of a sore left knee that’s required two surgeries. “It’s getting better every day, every week, but just not getting better as fast as I want it to,” Otah said. ... The Panthers signed guard C.J. Davis to the practice squad and released center Adrian Martinez.
RALEIGH — One by one, N.C. State has taken care of some things it hasn’t done since Philip Rivers was under center. Now the No. 23 Wolfpack is turning its attention toward the one opponent that has dominated it since then: Clemson. N.C. State has lost six straight in the series against the Tigers since Rivers beat them in 2003 — the Wolfpack’s longest active losing streak against any ACC team. It’s defeated every other ACC team at least once since then. “I think they maybe just had our number for a little bit, but we’re looking to change that,” tight end George Bryan said Monday. “Just to beat Clemson would be a great thing, and it would definitely be a change, and maybe we could keep that going for the years to come.” Of course, it’s way too early for N.C. State to think about flipping the rivalry like that. At least for now, the Wolfpack (6-2, 3-1) would settle for just one win against the Tigers (4-4, 2-3) — because a win would keep it in control of the Atlantic Division. N.C. State took charge in the divisional race last week by knocking off Florida State. “There’s a lot on the line, and this is a big football game,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “Certainly, each and every week, they get bigger, but that’s the exciting thing. It’s neat to be in this situation and be playing for the things we’re playing for right now.” After a few weeks out of the polls, N.C. State is ranked again — just in time to try for its first win against the Tigers since ‘03. Clemson has won each of its three meetings against O’Brien-coached N.C. State teams by an average of 20 points. “They still have pretty good backs down there,” O’Brien said. “They’ve got a lot of talent. They’re a big, powerful football team, and a lot of the guys we played last year are still playing.” Clemson will be without one of its top weapons —

That probably will mean an increased workload for Jamie Harper, who’s more of a physical runner than the quicker Ellington, but there might not be a change in the way the guys up front will play, N.C. State defensive end David Akinniyi said. “Clemson’s more of the type of offensive line that will just try to maul you, run the ball down your throat,” Akinniyi said. “I think it’s probably going to be one of the most physical games we’ve been in so far.” This marks the first game of a challenging late-season schedule for the Wolfpack, which will play three November games on the road for the first time since 1973. It returns home next week to face struggling Wake Forest, then wraps up the season at rival North Carolina and at Maryland in a game that could decide who will represent the division in the ACC title game in Charlotte. “Every 37 years, we go on the road three times in November,” O’Brien deadpanned. “We just caught the wrong year.”

Katelyn Storey reached the 2A singles final in Cary.
The dual-team tennis playoffs resume today for Salisbury, which enjoyed a successful run through the state’s individual tournament over the weekend. Six players — four in doubles and two in singles — participated in Cary. “It felt like a team event, too,” junior Erika Nelson said, “so I think it will be easy to change our focus.” The top-ranked Hornets (24-2) will hit the road today to face second-ranked Brevard (20-0) in a 2A state quarterfinal match 154 miles from home. Shelby (18-1) plays host to wild-card entry East Lincoln (14-3) in the other Western semifinal, so a victory by Salisbury likely would mean a trip to Shelby on Thursday. The 2A final is scheduled for Saturday morning in Burlington. The Hornets have reached five straight finals and won three titles in that span, including the last two. They visited Brevard for a state semifinal in 2008, and Nelson had the clinching win in a 5-1 victory. Nelson and Joy Loeblein advanced to

LINE FROM 1B “What I preach to our defensive linemen is to play hard, to not worry about the linebackers or the DBs, but to take make sure we take care of our business,” Galloway said. “If we give up five points or if we give up 20, that’s fine, so long as we get the win.” Playing on the defensive line for the Wonders is a mostly thankless task. The assignGALLOWAY ment most Fridays is to stop the run by taking on blockers, “squeezing” blocks and freeing the linebackers to make tackles. “That’s our No. 1 job, doing the dirty work to free the linebackers,” Galloway said. “We ask our D-linemen to be team players and to do that job well. This group has been very good with that.” In six SPC games, Brown has allowed between 13 and 21 points to each opponent. The Wonders won them all, partly because they forced 16 turnovers. “We’ve given up yards, but we’ve still done a decent job of keeping people out of the end zone,” Galloway said. “We’re dealing with young men, so they are gonna make mistakes. When they mess up, I don’t beat them up. We look at the film, and we make the necessary corrections.” The linemen are sold on Galloway, who played at East Tennessee State.

Dominique Phifer (51) and several other defenders converge to make a tackle against Central Cabarrus. “He yells at us,” Goodjohn said. “But that’s his job, and it’s how he makes us better. Then it’s up to us to go out and do what’s expected. Coach puts it on the line for us. We’ve got to give it back.” Off the field, Galloway has a good time joking with players, especially Holt, who looks older than his years. “First time I was introduced to Holt, he was 14 years old and had all kinds of facial hair,” Galloway
said with a grin. “I tell him I thought I was being introduced to his daddy.” While Holts looks like the world’s most seasoned junior, he had a key fumble recovery in a hard-fought 20-13 win against Northwest Cabarrus on Friday night. He was in position for a scoopand-score, just like the Wonders practice, but a hustling, diving Phifer knocked the ball away. Holt
missed a potential trip to the end zone, but he’s not upset. “I thought the defense had a good game,” Holt said. “We got an interception from the DBs, an interception from the linebackers, and the defensive line got a fumble. It’s all a puzzle, and on Friday it worked out. All the pieces of the defense fit together.” Goodjohn aggravated a nagging ankle injury Friday and missed more snaps than usual, but he
praised the players who relieved him. Harris, one of those backups, is generously listed at 5-foot-9, 200 pounds. He is playing with a cast on his right hand after fracturing a finger in the Cox Mill game. Still, he’s a senior giving maximum effort, and his teammates appreciate him. It’s Concord week for the Wonders, and that makes it more intense than usual. The pain of Concord’s shocking 13-10 win last season is never far from any of the senior’s thoughts. Galloway said he’s emphasizing “total focus” in preparation for the Spiders. Part of the bonding process will be having the D-line over to his house for a meal Wednesday. “Gonna be a Manwich meal,” said Harris, licking his lips in anticipation, as if Galloway — or maybe Mrs. Galloway — can magically make Sloppy Joes taste like ribeyes. Goodjohn, a.k.a. Weapon X, is ready for the Manwich meal — and the Spiders. “We’ll practice hard, and then we’ll play hard,” he said. “We have great senior leadership. This team has the same feel it did when I was a sophomore and we had Jamill (Lott) leading us. We made the state championship game that year. This time the goal is not just to make it, but to win it.” Holt, a.k.a. Juggernaut, nodded in agreement. “Our defensive line has been together three years,” he said. “We bicker and joke around, but when it’s time to get serious, we do. The chemistry is there to make a run.”

There are 13 all-county players returning this season. But the question is, when will the boys coaches get them? There are quite a few football players who have to go through the playoffs before they hit the court. West coach Mike Gurley expects a long playoff run by Scott Young’s team, so be prepared for a varsity squad of freshmen and sophomores during the first month to go with junior Keshun Sherrill. At Carson, Brian Perry probably won’t have Cody Clanton for a while. One of the best receivers in the state, the 6-foot-3 Clanton will be a force inside and out for the Cougars. Perry does have Nick Houston ready to go. He has arguably the best 3-point shot in the county. The kid can light it up. Mitchell probably won’t have Javon Har-

If North wins this Friday, it will be the YVC’s No. 1 seed and have a home game in the first week of the playoffs. Morgan won’t have Darien Rankin and a slew of other talented Hornets until football is over. Last year, Causby had to wait until December to assemble his team due to a long football run.
And don’t forget the biggest sporting event of the year in Rowan County: the Sam Moir Christmas Classic at Catawba. It’s set for Dec. 28-30. Catawba athletics director Dennis Davidson has been thinking of expansion, with perhaps A.L. Brown joining the fun. But he says that’s still at least a year away. An eight-team, four-day tournament would have to start on Dec. 27, and it would be a five-day grind for Catawba with the school’s women already scheduled to play on Dec. 31. The same seven prep teams — the girls and boys teams from the six Rowan County schools and Davie County — will participate this year. • On the recruiting front, word is that Ayanna Holmes of Salisbury will commit to Charlotte. Her twin sister, Ashia, and West’s Ayana Avery are leaning toward Radford. Stay tuned. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-7974287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

LEDBETTER FROM 1B “I don’t know how many of those games we lost we led at halftime,” 6-foot-1 bulldozer Ryan Driver said. “We just didn’t finish.” Driver and a dozen or so potential teammates ran up and down the floor Monday, none of them unusually tall. DRIVER Rashawn Joshua, 6-5, has taken his long body and fadeaway jumpers over to North Hills Christian. The only familiar, sweating faces belonged to Driver, Avery Rogers, Hakeem Gittens and Ethan Curlee. That quartet accounted for 85 varsity points last season. That’s a decent week for Salisbury’s Darien Rankin, so the Mustangs are facing an uphill fight. Fortunately, Ledbetter knows all about uphill struggle. He’s only 27 and played for East a decade ago when Mark Flynn was head coach. Ledbetter’s teammates included skilled guys — Taylor Weber, Justin Miller and Adam Cornelius, to name three — but the Mustangs were out-sized every night. They were 4-20 and 6-18 in Ledbetter’s varsity seasons while competing in the SPC with West Rowan, Harding, Northwest Cabarrus, Sun Valley, A.L. Brown and Concord. Ledbetter was a role player. His career high was four points, but coming from a role-player background may be an advantage when it comes to relating to a full roster. “When I played I pretty much was in tune with everything going on with the team,” Ledbetter said. “I listened to the coach and learned. One thing I learned was it takes the role players to win.” Ledbetter’s spring was emotional. After four years as East’s jayvee coach, he was selected for the head
JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST
Trey Ledbetter was a role player at East Rowan a decade ago. He coached the junior varsity team for four seasons before taking over the varsity in April. job in mid-April. He married Cortney Burris 10 days after the coaching announcement. His father Jamey, who was dying of cancer, was his best man at the wedding. In early May, Ledbetter lost his father, affectionately known as “Big Daddy” and the inspiration for East’s championship track season. “Just about every day that goes by I meet someone my dad helped in some way,” said Trey, whose given name is James Murphy Ledbetter III. “I’ll always remember how overjoyed my father was when I was named head coach.” Ledbetter actually
coached the varsity once last season when Lankford had work obligations. East made a spirited effort that night in a home loss to Carson. Ledbetter made a favorable impression under pressure. He was named head coach early enough that East got in plenty of summer work, attending Pfeiffer’s camp and competing in a league at Salisbury High. “We did a lot,” Curlee said. “After the summer stuff, we had open gym three or four weeks and then four-man workouts. We took a little break after that and just waited for these tryouts.” Ledbetter said he liked
More than the score
the effort displayed by the Mustangs over the summer, and he’s optimistic his team can surprise opponents that return far more firepower. Ledbetter’s biggest basketball influence is former East coach Greg McKenzie. East parlayed McKenzie’s Xs and Os and great pointguard play from Spenser Davis and Justin Vanderford into an 88-25 four-year run that ended in 2007-08. Three second-place finishes in four years confirmed East can compete at a high level in hoops, but a lot of things have to come together. Ledbetter hopes to make
things fall into place with the help of an assistant who knows the ropes. Rick Roseman, who jokes he’s three times as old as Ledbetter, was head coach at East from 1985-97 and fought his own uphill battles. Roseman’s team won the SPC championship in 1988. That was East’s most recent regular-season crown — the only one since 1975. “It’s nice to have Rick with us,” Ledbetter said. “There’s a big difference between varsity and jayvee and I’m excited and a little apprehensive. He’ll calm me down a lot.” Ledbetter isn’t a teacher. He operates a vending ma-
chine business and works in maintenance at East. He won’t fix his new team this week, but he’ll toil to make the Mustangs the best they can be. Ledbetter tensely watched layup drills for several minutes. There were no dunks. Newcomers such as Jordan Shepherd and Jared Hough looked sharp, but there were also some ugly layup attempts that clanged off rims or bruised backboards. “We do not miss layups!” Ledbetter barked. Then he blew his whistle. Another basketball season was officially under way.

Judge OKs deer hunt in Valley Forge
associated press
ted Nugent waits for hunting dogs to retrieve a pheasant at the dakota Hills shooting preserve in oral, s.d.
Nugent’s latest outing may have run afoul of law after loss of license SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent may have run afoul of South Dakota game laws by shooting pheasants after some of his hunting privileges were revoked in California. Nugent — known as the “Motor City Madman” — lived in Michigan most of his life before moving to Texas in 2003. Nugent’s loss of his California deer hunting license through June 2012 allows 34 other states to revoke the same privilege under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, though each state can interpret and enforce the agreement differently. South Dakota honors other states’ license revocations through both the compact and a state law that doesn’t differentiate between large game such as deer and small game such as pheasant, said Andy Alban, law enforcement administrator for the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department. Alban wouldn’t confirm or deny whether the agency was investigating Nugent, but said: “In South Dakota, if a person had any hunting privileges revoked elsewhere, all of their hunting privileges would be revoked here.”
Nugent, famed for his 1977 hit “Cat Scratch Fever,” was hunting pheasants with his black Labrador retriever, Gonzo, at Dakota Hills Shooting Preserve on Oct. 16 in the southwest South Dakota town of Oral, according to Nugent’s Twitter posts and published reports. A spokeswoman for the 61year-old singer-guitarist said he was afield Thursday and she was trying to reach him for a statement. California revoked Nugent’s deer hunting license on Aug. 13 after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag, said Dana Michaels, spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Game. The California deer-baiting charge was filed earlier this year after game wardens said they saw Nugent kill an immature buck on an episode of his Outdoor Channel television show “Spirit of the Wild.” Investigators found that the deer had been eating bait called “C’mere Deer.” Baiting wildlife is legal in some states but illegal in California. Nugent originally faced 11 charges, but his attorney entered the two no-contest pleas
as part of a deal with Yuba County prosecutors. “I should have been better informed, more aware and I take full responsibility,” Nugent said in a statement after the plea. “The honorable hunting lifestyle is my deepest passion.” The Outdoor Channel announced Monday that it had entered into an exclusive multiyear endorsement agreement with Nugent that is set to start in January. The Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact allows 35 states, including South Dakota and California, to share information about fishing, hunting and trapping violations. It obligates members to report wildlife violation convictions to member states, giving them the capability to honor each other’s suspensions. In recent Twitter posts, Nugent also talked about hunting in Wisconsin and Michigan. Wisconsin was notified of California’s revocation, and he would not be allowed to purchase a deer license there through June 2012, although he is licensed to shoot small game and waterfowl, said Laurel Steffes, a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman.
Energy Explorium has big turnout for hunting, fishing day HUNTERSVILLE — More than 170 people attended the EnergyExplorium’s Family Hunting and Fishing Day at McGuire Nuclear Station. On Saturday, Oct. 23, families from all over the region participated in a variety of activities at the event. Family activities included youth fishing, archery, pellet shooting, hunting safety, boating safety, turkey calling and more. To make the event a success, Duke Energy partnered with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the N.C. Wildlife Federation, the National Wild
Turkey Federation, Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists, Ten Ring Archery and the Lake Norman Power Squadron. One of the most popular activities was the youth fishing. Kids of all ages cast their lines into the pond, hoping for a bite. Many young fisherman were successful and caught bluegills, bass and several other fish. Bait was generously donated by Catawba Cricket Hatchery Inc. Hailey Wilson, a Duke Energy spokesperson, said, “Family Hunting and Fishing Day at
McGuire fostered an appreciation and respect for nature. We want kids enjoying the outdoors. We want to unplug them from their video games and computers. This event was a perfect opportunity to do that.” This is the EnergyExplorium’s first year hosting Family Hunting and Fishing Day at McGuire, but it will now be a permanent feature in its calendar. For more information about future events at the EnergyExplorium, visit www. duke-energy.com/energyexplorium.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge has approved a plan to use sharpshooters to cull the bulging deer population at Valley Forge National Historical Park. The decision last week rejects a lawsuit filed by several animal-welfare groups and paves the way for the National Park Service to begin the nighttime hunts next month. The goal is to reduce the herd of about 1,300 deer by 80 percent over the next four winters. Valley Forge, just outside Philadelphia, would become only the third national park to allow deer hunts, according to Friends of Animals, one of several plaintiff groups. “In five to six years, are we going to have every animal on public lands controlled the way we want them to be controlled? Because I think there’s a macabre, Disneyesque aspect to that,” said Lee Hall, vice president of Friends of Animals. Hall, who lives in Devon, about five miles from the park, vowed to appeal. U.S. District Judge Mitchell Goldberg said it’s clear the 3,500-acre park is overrun with white-tail deer, destroying the park’s habitat, which supports birds, butterflies and other wildlife. “Because the NPS has clearly identified overgrazing by the herd as the cause of insufficient forest generation, which is a detriment to the scenery and natural and historic objects, the exception to preserving all wildlife under the Organic Act has clearly been invoked here,” the judge wrote. The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Organic Act aims to conserve wildlife in national parks, but an exception allows animals to be destroyed if they become detriments, the judge said. The park service plan also would use birth control and other nonviolent methods in conjunction with the hunt, which would run from November to March each winter. Animal-welfare activists believe the bucolic park about 20 miles west of Philadelphia, where George Washington and his Continental Army spent the winter of 1777-78, should be maintained by natural methods. They propose doing nothing, letting nature take its course, or introducing predators, namely coyotes. The deer also are blamed for scores of vehicle accidents within the park each year and for wreaking havoc on nearby suburban gardens. Park officials say they believe the hunt also will reduce the risk of chronic wasting disease, a mad-cow-like brain disease that has been found in adjacent states but not in Pennsylvania. Deer problems plague many parks throughout the East, and solutions have been debated for years. In the 1990s, Gettysburg National Military Park’s deer population was reduced by a hunt from 4,000 to just over 200. The only other national park to conduct a hunt is Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park, which is trying to thin its elk herd, according to environmental lawyer Michael Harris, a University of Denver assistant professor who represents Friends of Animals. Litigation over the elk hunt is pending, as is a lawsuit over a proposed deer hunt at Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.

Fishin’ with Capt. Gus
“You’re going to need a bigger boat.” — These words, spoken by Police Chief Brody in the movie “Jaws,” are arguably the best ever used to describe the size of a fish. The largest fish are usually hooked a long way from home and with no witnesses, camera or pictures to prove the tale. Here are a few quotes you might have heard before. Regardless, each is a very good example of the one that was either caught or got away. • “It made Moby Dick look like a guppy.” • “When it splashed back into the water, the wave almost sunk the boat.” • “The fish was so big, I could stick my arm down its throat.” • “The bass was so big, I could put my fist in its mouth.” • “Its head hung off one side and the tail off the other side of the ice chest.” • “We had to cut it in half to get it in the fish box.” • “It was so big, it wouldn’t fit in the net.” • “We fought it for hours before it broke the line.” • “It burned up the drag on the reel.” • “It took three of us to get it in the boat.” • “This is no lie! It was the biggest fish I have ever seen.” • “We had to net it to get it.” • “The fish was so big it took a tow truck to haul it to the scales.” • “The fish was so big, that the picture of it weighed 10 pounds.” • “The boat is 17 feet long. The head of the fish was past the bow and the tail was wrapped around the stern. That’s big!” • “It was so big that we couldn’t get it to the bank.” • “It must have been a sting ray or shark. It just kept taking line until it snapped at the knot.” In closing, a wise man once said, “Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost getting caught.”

COLUMNS
This family really needs to change the channel Dear Amy: My husband insists on watching primetime TV programs with our kids. Usually these programs are on right after dinner or during dinner. They all eat in the living room, leaving plates, glasses and food everywhere. I don’t watch TV because I’m stuck in the kitchen cooking and cleaning up and everyone refuses to help ASK me. husMy AMY band says it is my fault that I don’t have dinner ready before “The Office” starts. I am getting very tired of this. — Disgusted Dear Disgusted: Is your main complaint really that your family’s leaving dishes in the living room? Really? Let’s rewind. First of all, no one in your family should be consuming dinner in front of the TV. Second, your family should not be watching “The Office” without you. Eating in front of the television leads to obesity, spills on the carpet and overall bad manners. Eating in front of the TV impedes conversation. You and your husband seem to have a relationship right out of an old TV sitcom: You do the cooking, cleaning and kvetching — and your husband and children rule the roost. As parents, you both are setting a terrible example for the kids: he as the head couch potato and you as the designated servant and doormat. Your solution is easy — and obvious. It also involves your husband’s behaving like a responsible partner to you and
parent to your kids. You two need to eat with your children at a decent hour in the kitchen or dining room with no outside media present. You also need to record “The Office.” After dinner, if the kids help clear the table, if they are done with their homework, and if the dishes have been washed, then you should — as a family — settle down on the couch together and enjoy one of the funniest and most fun shows on television. Together. Dear Amy: My daughter is 35. This year all of her best friends got married. She has tried online dating and seems to have really poor luck meeting someone nice. She has a master’s degree and is a social worker. Everyone she works with is married. She feels like a leper because of her status. I have tried to make her realize that she is making a good life for herself, but she feels that no man seems to like her for a serious relationship. Yes, they want sex, but she does not want to have sex with someone she does not have an exclusive relationship with. Now she says she feels suicidal. She says her life is without merit. She resents her friends getting married and explodes when I say she should try to be happy for them, and she will eventually find someone, too. I find I say the wrong things. Can you suggest some way to help her? I offered to pay for a therapist, but she says all they will give her are pat answers. — Worried Mom Dear Worried: If your social worker daughter doesn’t realize what a good therapist can do for her, then she is either uninformed or afraid. If your daughter is suicidal, she needs therapy, desperately.

I can well imagine her feelings of frustration as she sees her friends get married. No doubt she feels marginalized. But healthy adults manage their frustrations and feelings responsibly, they don’t lash out in anger. Your daughter is not open to your advice. Continue to offer your motherly support and compassion — and encourage her toward professional help. Dear Amy: “Anonymous” and her husband think it’s unfair that his mother gives a Christmas gift of $1,000 to his single brother and $250 each to him, his wife and two adult children. I had the same situation. I am a single mom with two children. I had a boyfriend whose sister gave gifts one holiday to my children instead of to him. He complained to me about it until I came up with a solution: I broke up with him. Now he can have the gifts all to himself! — Dori on Long Island Dear Dori: Beautiful.

Frozen turkeys will be at rock-bottom prices during the next few weeks and through Christmas. This is a good time to fill your freezer.

mostly bones. The designations of hen or tom and young or mature apply only to size, not to age or gender. • Safe prep. You must have an effective antibacterial solution in your kitchen when preparing poultry. But don’t spend $6 for a 12-ounce bottle of cleaner. Make it yourself: 1 quart of 70 F (cool) water plus 1 teaspoon of liquid bleach. Any warmer and the bleach evaporates; more bleach will harm some surfaces and fabrics. Regularly sanitize all surfaces with this bleach water, particularly those that may have come in contact with raw poultry, including the inside of the refrigerator. • Do not stuff it! Liz Tarditi, a professional personal chef, warns us that as the bird cooks, raw juices drip into the soft, absorbent stuffing. Turkey must reach an internal temperature of 165 F, and so must the contaminated stuffing. It’s nearly impossible to cook a stuffed turkey to perfection and also guarantee uncontaminated stuffing.

Turkey-picking tips 101 I don’t need a calendar to tell me that Thanksgiving is near. The dozens of questions in my inbox on how to buy a turkey are a sure sign. So back by popular demand (with a few new tips, as well), here is everything you need to know to select the best turkey at the best price! • Go for cheap. John Smith, professional butcher and author of “Confessions of a Butcher: Eat Steak on a MARY Hamburger HUNT Budget and Save $$$,” advises, “Always go with the cheapest turkey and you’ll never go wrong.” He says one turkey processor will slap many different labels on his crop of birds. The turkeys are all the same; only the labels are different. • No enhancements. Roger Kutz, a butcher in Minnesota, suggests we skip the turkeys that come “enhanced.” They are just loaded up with salty water and flavorings. Never forget that a turkey with an 8 percent solution added is only 92 percent turkey. • Buy frozen. Both of our butchers agree that these days, a frozen bird is best. By law, turkeys can be labeled “fresh” even when the moisture in the bird is frozen. If you press very firmly on the bird, the meat is not frozen. The turkey processors have it down to a science. They bring the temperature of the birds down to the legal limit before sending them off to the store two weeks before Thanksgiving. Frozen turkeys, on the other hand, are quick-frozen immediately after butchering. So the freshest turkey is really a frozen turkey. The freezing process has no noticeable effect on the quality or the taste of the bird. • Bigger is better. To get the best meat-to-bone ratio, opt for the biggest bird with the roundest chest. A bird of less than 16 pounds has a bad meat-to-bone ratio, and one that is 12 pounds or less is

Good fishing — maybe too much — in Chef Pass NEW ORLEANS — This was a new one for Louie Viavant of Chef Harbor Marina: There were too many fish. “There’s some bigger trout on the bottom, but they’re having trouble getting the bait past the white trout and croakers,” Viavant said. “So, if you don’t mind a limit of smaller trout, just fish on the first foot or two.” The number of anglers who would actually mind a limit of smaller trout probably equals the number of New Orleans Saints fans who think Drew Brees is overrated. Neither group would raise their hands in public. These are good days for the Chef Pass fishing area. Crazy good. After a summer buffeted by bad news — from BP’s threat of environmental Armageddon to stiff winds that never quit — fall has been a blanket of good cheer. Not only has the weather cooperated, but fishing has been better than ever. The seasonal burst of speck activity that usually accompanies cooling temperatures has been bolstered by something entirely new. The 25-foot deep scour hole at the Lake Borgne mouth of Bayou Thomas that normally holds a big number of croakers and white trout has become a speckled trout hot spot as well. Viavant thinks it’s all due to that flood wall the Corps of Engineers recently built
across the junction of the MRGO and Intracoastal Waterway, the infamous “funnel” that helped flood sections of New Orleans and St. Bernard. “When they finished that thing, the tidal flow out of Bayou Thomas, the Chef — almost everything that drains between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne — picked up steam,” Viavant said. “What I think that did is it pushed those shrimp that normally might be 10, 15 feet deep, up to the surface. I say that because we’ve had birds working that area like crazy. “And, of course, when the bait got pushed to the surface, the trout followed. I think that’s pretty evident by the number of guys that have been killing the specks in there.” But the change of circumstances comes with a twist. The first few feet of the water column in that hole is crowded with smaller specks — specimens that rarely top 14 inches, Viavant said. They’re hitting Viavant’s live shrimp as fast as his customers can cast them over the side. That bait investment could yield more pounds of specks because trout over two pounds are hugging the bottom. But the water between the small specks and the big ones is crowded with hungry white trout and croakers. “You can catch those white trout and croakers with fresh bait,” Viavant said. “Of course, they’ll hit that live shrimp, too.”
And that’s the problem. Few anglers want to gamble the price of a live shrimp on those ravenous white trout and croakers, which they can catch just as easily with cheaper market bait. There’s just too many fish there. “Ain’t that something,” Viavant laughed. No one is complaining.
Getting there Chef Menteur Pass, which connects lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain, crosses U.S. 90 on the eastern edge of the city, about 15 miles from Canal Street. From Interstate 10 East take the Irish Bayou exit and follow U.S. 11 south to U.S. 90, then turn left (east). Chef Pass is about five miles away. Chef Harbor Marina, which has live and fresh baits, ice and fishing supplies, is on the north side of the pass adjacent to the bridge. The hole at the mouth of Bayou Thomas is about onethird of a mile away. From the marina turn left into Chef Pass, take a right at the Intracoastal Waterway, and Bayou Thomas is the first opening. Take a left and follow the left shoreline about three quarter of a block, using the depth finder to locate the hole.
tips to set the hook on those quick strikes. Bring weighted corks, as well as sliding sinkers and swivels for Carolina rigs in case you want to try for the bottom. Have a cooler for a pound or two of fresh market shrimp, which will appeal to the white trout and croakers. The hole is 25 to 30 feet deep, so you’ll need a good anchor and about 100 feet of anchor line. A trolling motor is an option, but you’ll be wearing the batteries out trying to stay over the fish in what can be a stiff current.
Gearing up
Fishing it Set the anchor so your boat drifts back toward the dropoff. If you’re after specks, use one rod to freeline a live shrimp, use the other to put a live shrimp about two feet under a weighted cork. Let the current drift the baits across the hole, but keep the slack out because the bite can be fast. If you’re not finding fish, re-position the boat so your bait is drifting anoth-
er part of the hole. If you’re after white trout and croaker, move the cork about six to eight feet up the line, and replace the live shrimp with market bait. Use the same drifting technique. Don’t ignore the bottom. Have one rod set with a Carolina rig, and try getting the live shrimp to the bottom. You might pick up some white trout and croakers by accident.

Out of 17 qualified applicants, Cox was hired to take over the position held 11 years by James Holland, who created the nonprofit organization and retired in May. Cox was chosen because she showed a clear commitment to environmental protection, said Debra Shepherd, ex-
ecutive director for the Altamaha Riverkeeper. “She spent her education and working career acquiring skills that will be very useful in the job working with citizens to help protect our fabulous watershed,” Shepherd said. The mission of the Altamaha Riverkeeper is to conserve and protect the Altamaha watershed, the largest in Georgia.

Grizzly numbers hit new high in Yellowstone region
ROCK HILL, S.C. — Standing on the bank of the Catawba River, Juliette Stock captured the crowd’s mood simply and eloquently. “I’m glad we actually get to use the river instead of just looking at it all the time,” she said. Stock and her family where among those who attended the Riverwalk Celebration, the official opening of Rock Hill’s newest recreational facility. The Riverwalk Trail is the park’s main feature. It is 2.5 mile of paved path for walking or biking along the river. The trail is part of the Carolina Thread Trail, a regional system of trails crisscrossing 15 counties in the Carolinas. Rock Hill Mayor Doug Echols was among those strolling the trail under the trees. “To be able to enjoy this much beauty and this much nature is fantastic,” he said. The Riverwalk is not all about nature. The trail is the first completed feature of a larger planned community on the old Celanese industrial site. Plans call for the 1,000 acres to have residential, commercial, retail, and recreational development. About 250 acres have been set aside for public recreation including river access, athletic fields, green space, a climbing wall, and cycling venues. Up on the hill, BMX pro racers Matthew Silvia, 35, Tim Dinger, 34, and Cole Tesar, 14, tested the packed-clay BMX racing course. Tesar, a twotime world champion of BMX racing in his age group, signed autographs near the edge of the track. He remembers his first jump. “It was intimidating, going down the hill to a 20-foot jump,” he said. His mother Josette Tesar remembers when he first asked if he could ride on a BMX track. After seeing some riders, he came home and asked his parents to remove his training wheels. “I thought he was hyperactive but I guess he just needed something to do,” she said. Down by the river, less Xtreme visitors climbed into kayaks and took to the river. “That was awesome!” yelled Laylon Baucom, 9, running toward his mother, Juliette Stock.
Yellowstone, Mont., and along the North Fork and South Fork of the Shoshone River west of Cody. In Wyoming, that expansion helped fuel a record 251 conflicts between bears and humans so far this year, ranging from tipped over garbage cans and killed livestock, to maulings of hunters. The best wildlife habitat in the state is now full of bears, forcing some of the animals to spill onto farms and residential areas, said Mark Bruscino, carnivore specialist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. He said the animals are now turning up in areas dominated by agriculture and with little cover for wildlife. “We’re dealing with bears that are in and around people constantly,” Bruscino said. “There’s no place to put them because the wildland habitat is full in our state.” Despite their growing numbers, Yellowstone-area bears remain protected as an endangered species. The U.S. Fish and Widlife Service took away those protections in

Rock Hill celebrates Catawba Riverwalk
The last time so many bears died, in 2008, the population dipped the following year. But the head of the grizzly research team said only 11 of the known bear deaths were adult females, dampening worries that the species’ longterm recovery could stall. “Our population is strong, our counts of females are high,” said Chuck Schwartz, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist who heads the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team. “Right now, all indications are we haven’t turned into negative trajectory.” Schwartz added that the 603 population figure was a conservative estimate and that the true number could be significantly higher. Wildlife advocates have been more skeptical of the grizzly’s future. They point to the decimation of a key bear food source — the nuts of whitebark pine trees — as a potential threat to the species’ long-term survival. Vast stands of the trees are dead or dying because of beetle infestation. Government scientists including Schwartz said bears adapt quickly to annual changes in the food supply and were unlikely to be impacted by the loss of a single food source. Between 2004 and 2008, the area inhabited by Yellowstone grizzlies expanded 34 percent, to more than 22,000 square miles.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Grizzly bear numbers in and around Yellowstone National Park have hit their highest level in decades, driving increased conflicts with humans as some bears push out of deep wilderness and into populated areas. Scientists from a multiagency research team recently announced that at least 603 grizzlies now roam the Yellowstone area of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. That’s more than three times the number in 1975, when hunting was outlawed and the species was placed on the endangered list. But more bears also means more run-ins with humans — although bear biologists are quick to point out that visitors to the region are more likely to die in a vehicle crash than a grizzly mauling. Two people have been killed by grizzlies in the Yellowstone region this year: one west of Cody, Wyo., and another near Cooke City, Mont. In the latest encounter, on Wednesday, a hunter in Wyoming reported to authorities that he was attacked by a grizzly that he shot and killed in self-defense. The man, whose name was not available, suffered lacerations from a bite to the leg. The injuries were not considered life threatening. The incident remained under investigation and the death of the bear was not immediately confirmed. It would mark the 46th grizzly killed or removed from the wild this year. Factoring in unreported killings, wildlife officials estimate at least 62 bears killed or removed so far this year.

Tuesday, Nov. 2 New endeavors or means of doing things might pay off more in the near future than old ways have in the past. If you get a chance to try something new, it could turn out to be a vast improvement over your current methods. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t go along with the group if what they want to do violates your principles or high standards, regardless of the peer pressure some may place on you. Stand by your high-mindedness. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Instead of being the disruptor within the household, contribute to the tranquility of the family. Selfish demands will cause kinfolk to rebel or behave similarly. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Because you have such a strong personality, it is generally best for you to avoid bossy types of people. You’ll have little appreciation for being told what to do, when or how to do it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be certain that, when taking on a partner, your counterpart will have as much to offer as you do. If your deal lacks parity, there won’t be any benefits for you to share. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t make the same mistake again by seeking the advice of someone who advised you poorly previously. Try to think for yourself, but if you can’t find the answer, be careful to whom you go. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Unless you first complete what you started yesterday, you could find yourself in a heck of a quandary when it upsets everything you try to do today. Clean up your mess. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You need to guarantee that you won’t spoil the fun for everybody else when getting together with friends should someone be in attendance whom you don’t like, or you had better opt not to join in. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It’s OK that challenges can hold some kind of special appeal for you at times, but don’t deliberately create confrontation just for the fun of it. The consequences could be costly. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Unfortunately, it could backfire if you attempt to outdo one of your companions who’s just about perfect at doing everything. It is likely to be s/he who ends up taking you to task. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can take bets that reckless or impulsive spending will take you to task tomorrow if you can’t help yourself today when you purchase something expensive you really can’t resist. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There’s a strong possibility that a situation on which you and your mate hold opposing opinions could arise and become a major impasse if you’re not careful. Don’t let it out of the box. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You may have been deluding yourself for quite a while into believing that something that has been left unattended will eventually disappear. Sadly, that devil may pop up again.

The unnatural play works BY PHILLIP ALDER
Dear Dr. Gott: My son has progressive multiple sclerosis and is suffering with abnormal bowel movements. They're very hard and large. His doctor recommended Colace, Fleet enemas and suppositories, but they don't seem to help. His diet right now is baby food, hot cereal and pureed prunes, along with electrolytes and other liquids. He also takes vitamins and lots of medication for depression. We try different things every few days but are running out of ideas. Your information DR. PETER has been so valuable. I read your column every GOTT day in our local newspaper. Any suggestions? Dear reader: For readers who may not fully understand multiple sclerosis, this disorder occurs when the body's immune system attacks itself, destroying the protective sheath that covers the nerves. This may result in deterioration of the nerves over time and, unfortunately, the condition isn't reversible. However, there are a number of things your son can do to remain active both mentally and physically. Symptoms can occur at any age but are most common in people between the ages of 20 and 40. Women are more susceptible than men. Family history plays a large role, as well. For example, if a parent or sibling has the disorder, the other children of the affected parent or
the siblings of the affected individual have up to a 3 percent chance of also developing it. This compares with onetenth of a percent without a family history. Patients may have tremors, weakness or numbness in one or more limbs, occurring on one side of the body at a time, double vision, fatigue and more. In the beginning stages, there may be partial or complete remission that can reverse suddenly. Bowel and bladder difficulties and depression are common in those with MS. I suggest he speak with his physician regarding the use of warm prune juice daily or my “colon cocktail,” which consists of equal parts prune juice, applesauce and bran. The specifics can be found in my Health Report “Compelling Home Remedies” and is one I have found to be effective when treating patients in nursing homes. Your son should be eating a more healthful diet with fiber. Poor diet is linked to constipation, and diets low in fiber are known to increase the possibility for producing stools that can be difficult to pass. Because his diet is so limited, he should begin slowly — perhaps with whole-grain cereals and breads. He should drink plenty of fluids daily. Gradually add fresh fruits and vegetables, broiled fish and/or chicken and other appealing foods. Many medications carry the unwanted side effect of constipation. He should speak with his prescribing physician to determine whether any of his drugs are contributing to his problem. If so, he
should request another drug be ordered in its/their place. His depression must be addressed. I don’t know how limited your son is in terms of walking, riding a stationary bike, listening to the radio, working on model cars or airplanes, having a stamp collection or using the Internet. It’s hard to make recommendations without knowing his age, general health and physical status, etc., but something between speaking with a therapist, a trip to the local park or a rousing game of checkers or chess with a friend on a regular basis might be just what the doctor ordered. He should also contact the MS Society to find the nearest support group. As mentioned above, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Compelling Home Remedies." Other readers who would like a copy should send a selfaddressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O.

Actor Charlie Sheen files for divorce from third wife LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen filed to end his marriage to his third wife Monday and stated in documents that the couple separated the same day as a Christmas 2009 altercation that led to assault charges against the veteran actor. The divorce came less than a week after the “Two and a Half Men” star was
briefly hospitalized in New York City after security at a luxury hotel reported he was being disorderly. Sheen cited irreconcilable differences for the divorce and indicated in court filings in Los Angeles that the couple have a prenuptial agreement. He and Brooke Mueller Sheen were married in
May 2008 and have twin sons together. He is seeking joint custody, but is asking a judge not to award his wife any spousal support. Within hours, Brooke Sheen had filed her own petition for divorce, seeking sole custody of the former couple’s sons and spousal support.

Eric Hoffer said, “We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends.” Many declarers, when they realize that they are going down, play slower and slower, delaying the evil moment: the loss of the setting trick. Sometimes, of course, these declarers wish they had played slower at the beginning — like the declarer in today’s deal. West led a low club against three no-trump. What should South have done? South correctly evaluated his hand to be worth 18 points, opening one diamond and rebidding two no-trump. North’s three-club rebid was artificial, asking for three-card spade support. Declarer put up dummy’s club queen, winning the first trick. Then he made the natural-looking play, running dummy's diamond 10. West took the trick with his king and shifted to a spade. South, knowing that he could not afford to let East on lead, called for dummy’s ace, then played a diamond to his jack. There was good news — the second finesse won. And there was bad news — West discarded a spade. South paused, digesting that he was going down. The declarer mishandled the diamonds. At trick two, he should have played a low diamond to his jack. Yes, West wins with his king and switches to a spade, but South wins with dummy’s ace and runs the diamond 10.
This lets him stay in the dummy to take a third diamond finesse and come to nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, four diamonds and one club.

Cookbook Signing at Carolina Lily provided by Gail Cauble Gurley
I
grew up with a bright red, spiral bound cookbook created by the ladies of Faith Lutheran Church in Faith, circa 1948. I found the tattered copy tucked safely in a kitchen drawer as I was closing my father’s home in 1993. Mother had used the book right up until her death in
1987. I sat down on a kitchen chair and gently leafed through the fragile pages stained with lard, milk, eggs, etc., and I was washed with happy memories of my childhood. Firmly believing that others will enjoy these vintage recipes, I eventually edited and adapted these dishes
Old South Comfort Food: Vintage Recipes from the 1930s-1940s©
to today’s measurements and ingredients. Thus was born Old South Comfort Food, a new, “old” cookbook that records the original recipes with misspelled words, mistakes and all, thus increasing their charm. The names of the early cooks are included so as to recognize their legacy to the world in these pages. Family favorite recipes are included and taken from newspaper and magazine clippings as well as handwritten versions created by my parents, myself and my sister. I still recall my daddy, who had a 7th grade education, struggling to preserve his directions for scuppernong wine, an elixir he was famous for countywide. These directions are included, misspellings and all, and I retain his original, handwritten version. It gives me joy and comfort to gently touch the words he wrote so long ago, not knowing he was leaving a piece of himself that would be preserved by his family. He merely wanted to write down his directions so he wouldn’t forget them. Editing and adapting this cookbook was a labor of joy, love and deep comfort. It is my hope that everyone who uses it will be equally touched and comforted and will realize the peace I have received from this long ago cookbook.
About the Author Gail Cauble Gurley is a Rowan County, North Carolina native. She is the author of three works of fiction as well as co-author of a screenplay inspired by her racing book, Red Dirt Tracks. The movie “Red Dirt Rising” was released in May 2010. Her latest book, Old South Comfort Food, fulfills a long dream of editing and preserving the recipes of her youth from a treasured church cookbook created by the wonderful cooks of Faith Lutheran Church in Faith, NC, a small Rowan County town perched snugly on top of ancient pink granite deposits. Faith Lutheran is the church in which Gail grew up and her family roots are deep in that house of worship. Gail’s books are available on www.scribesvalley.com.

Happy Memories or Household Hazards? Provided by Home Instead Senior care
While clutter is not a problem unique to seniors, conditions of aging including strokes, brain trauma and dementia can lead to disorder and chaos that could threaten seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home safety and independence, experts say. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem all too familiar to family caregivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lifetime accumulation of possessions combined with an influx of daily junk mail, bills, newspapers and magazines can quickly overwhelm seniors who are struggling physically, mentally or emotionally,â&#x20AC;? said Sid Jay, co-owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care franchise office serving the Salisbury area. Experts say even seniors who simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to part with their possessions are vulnerable. The risks are many from slipping on loose papers to the threat of fire to the health effects of mold and mildew. Clutter can also interfere with family relationships and leave adult children wondering if the only inheritance awaiting them is a big mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime is a great time for family caregivers to help seniors de-clutter for their own health and well-
being,â&#x20AC;? Jay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cluttering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for those with this tendency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably has been happening for years, but a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trigger episodeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; such as going into a wheelchair or a health issue could worsen the problem,â&#x20AC;? said Katherine â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kitâ&#x20AC;? Anderson, CPO-CD, president of the non-profit National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (NSGCD) and a certified professional organizer. While the source of clutter can be anything from outdated medications to a kitchen full of unused pots and pans, paper is the biggest clutter culprit, Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of the elephant in the room,â&#x20AC;? added Dr. Catherine Roster, a University of New Mexico clutter researcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to acknowledge there is a problem, which creates an underlying anxiety, stress, guilt or embarrassment that can have a negative effect on their mental health and productivity. There are a lot of issues including economics. When there is general disorganization, people lose important documents and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find bills and then miss payments. So some serious issues start affecting them.
All the research shows that people are slow to recognize the problem.â&#x20AC;? In order to identify potential trouble, the Home Instead Senior Care network is alerting family caregivers to watch for the signs in a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home that indicate clutter creep could become a problem including piles of mail and unpaid bills, difficulty walking safely through a home and frustration on the part of a senior trying to organize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family caregivers can become just as overwhelmed as seniors,â&#x20AC;? said Home Instead Senior Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We suggest a three-step plan where the family caregiver brings three bins -- one for the stuff the senior wants to keep, one for donations and the other for trash. Sometimes seniors just need a little help.â&#x20AC;?

1. The sentimental attachment. The beloved prom dress represents the history and memories of the event; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the dress itself. Save only a piece of the dress to make a quilt or display in a shadow box. Scrapbooking and converting photos to DVDs are other ways to save treasured keepsakes without all the extra mess. 2. The sense of loyalty. Older adults whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received gifts from family and friends may be reluctant to part with them. Encourage your loved one to give unused gifts back to the giver or grandchildren.

3. The need to conserve. Seniors are the original green people. Appeal to a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to help others. Counter a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclination to conserve by appealing to their desire to give back. 4. The fatigue. A home with a lifetime of memories
can easily become too much for an older adult to handle. Help seniors manage clutter by establishing online bill paying. Also, get your senior off junk mail lists, which can put them at risk of identity theft, and buy them a shredder. 5. The change in health. Seniors who have suffered a brain trauma or stroke, who are wheelchair bound or who are experiencing dementia may no longer be able to manage household duties, which could contribute to clutter. If you see a health change, encourage your senior to visit his or her doctor and consider a professional organizer and caregiver to help your loved one. 6. The fear. Seniors often fear what will happen if they give up their stuff, like the older adult who saved three generations of bank statements. Use logic and information to help seniors understand itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s O.K. to let go. 7. The dream of the future. Those clothes in the closet donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit anymore, but your loved one is sure that some day sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose enough weight to get into them. Ask seniors to fill a box with clothing they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear much and make a list of the items in the box. Agree that if they have not gone back to the box in six months to wear the item, they will donate that to charity. 8. The love of shopping. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors have more money than any other previous generation of older adults and they love to shop. Clutter can become so bad seniors canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find things and they repurchase items they already have, contributing to the clutter cycle. Try to convince seniors to cut back and to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to free stuff. 9. The history and memories. Keepsakes represent history and memories. Encourage seniors to take old photos to a family reunion and share with several generations. Let seniors know they can contribute to the history of their time and leave a lasting legacy by donating to museums and historical societies, a theater and library, or churches and synagogues. 10. The loneliness. Stuff can become a misplaced companion. Loneliness may also lead to depression, which makes it difficult for seniors to get organized. Consider the services of a professional organizer and caregiver.

NC Senior Tar Heel Legislature News Raleigh - Jerry Shelby represented Rowan County at the NC Senior Tar Heel Legislature meeting October 5 and 6 in Raleigh. The Senior Legislature, established by the NC General Assembly in 1993, encourages citizen involvement and advocacy concerning aging issues, provides information and education to senior adults and the general public regarding issues before the General Assembly, and makes recommendations to the assembly on legislative needs of senior North Carolinians. Jerry Shelby is the Rowan County Delegate to the Senior Tar Heel Legislature. He serves on the Resolutions and the Legislation Issues Committees. The Resolution Committee is responsible for developing the process of identifying benefits, expenditures and financial returns, setting the priority, and the presentation of the Resolutions to the NC General Assembly for consideration into law. Governor Beverly Perdue was speaker at the meeting and praised the delegation for their support of the aging network. The Governor accepted a special award from the NCSTL for her support on aging issues. The Senior Tar Heel Legislature discussed and voted to adopt five priorities, out of the 57 resolutions submitted, to present to the 2011 NC General Assembly when they convene in January. The priorities include: (1) Increase funding by $5,000,000 for
the community based services for older adults to provide home-delivered meals, adult daycare, in-home aid and other services that help impaired older adults stay in their homes, There are over 13,000 people on the “no person left behind” waiting list for services. (2) Increase funding by $2,000,000 for senior centers to provide programs and services that enhance the health and wellness of older adults, support independent living, and expand services for the growing older population. (3) Provide dental care for North Carolina’s adult special care population. (4) Provide funding to sustain Project CARE to provide information, referral, consultation, and linkage to caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients. (5) Mandate pre-employment and random drug testing for employees of nursing and assisted living facilities. In addition, Delegate Shelby advocated for: (1) Establishing 24/7 Community Healthcare Clinics to provide service for after hour illnesses, emergencies, and the uninsured, so healthcare cost can be contained. (2) Victims Rights and Assistance bill to assist victims injured or taken advantage of resulting in financial loss and/or unable to afford repair or medical treatment due to the negligence or misconduct of another person or insurance company. (3) Judicial Reform to be fair, eliminate bias, provide oversight, improve efficiency, reduce waste, simplify, reduce errors,
provide assistance to victims, and establish best practices procedures. (4) Establish a Prescription Drug Assistance program for Low Income Persons and have the state and nation negotiate drugs, (5) Providing Scholarships and Assistance to students to study Geriatrics and General Medicine and locate in rural communities. (6) Providing Auto Insurance Discounts for Seniors taking a driver safety class, (7) Expanding the Aging and Disability Community Resource Connection (CRC) Program, and (8) Defeat the secret senior tax to increase the frequency of Driver License Changes for Older Adults. Dennis Street, Director for NC Division of Aging and Adult Services, reviewed the progress, and some of the budget cuts, for the Division of Aging due to the state revenue shortfall including cutbacks to community services to the elderly as: meals on wheels and community food sites. Many seniors are just above the poverty level and don’t qualify for extra help. They are also candidates for fraud. The fraud cases have increased. The Legislature is looking at requiring dentists to accept Medicaid patients and having their offices handicap accessible. He also encouraged the delegation to support the Governor’s aging initiatives “Living Wise and Aging Well, and Building a Livable and Senior Friendly North Carolina”. He is gathering information from several policy roundtable meetings throughout the state to
assess the state’s readiness for the aging population. The new state 2011 – 2015 aging plan is due March, 2011. The state is testing a seamless service system in 30 counties to help seniors and the disabled population called Community Resource Connections (CRC) for Aging and Disabilities so a person only has to make one visit or phone call to get all the information they need to handle the problem or situation they have. North Carolina State Budget Director Charles Perusse, elaborated on the state budget noting that North Carolina’s economy is slowly growing, but revenue is still less than expenses, education expenses have increased, and the Federal Stimulus Fund has ended, thus more budget cuts will have to be made. Carla Obiol, Director for the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program, reported great news on the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) initiative called Relay for Extra Help. The program identifies people who are eligible for assistance in paying for their Medicare Part D prescription drugs. The state has collected 7,121 applications for the extra help of the 50,000 people in North Carolina eligible for extra help to pay for their Part D prescriptions. Medicare for next year will add preventive services.
President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed a national holiday called Armistice Day to take place on November 11, 1919 and annually thereafter to commemorate the signing of the armistice treaty that ended World War I. The holiday served to honor those who served and lost their lives in the war. However, it wasn't until 34 years later when a Kansas shoe store owner proposed the holiday should be expanded to remember all veterans, not just those of World War I. Alfred King, a shoe store owner in Emporia, Kansas, began a campaign to turn Armistice Day into "All" Veterans Day. His town's Chamber of Commerce got involved and participated in the cause, urging all business owners to shut down on November 11 to honor veterans. U.S. Representative Ed Rees, also of Emporia, helped push a bill through Congress, which President Dwight Eisenhower later signed into law on May 26, 1954. Roughly one week later "Armistice" was changed to "Veterans" and the holiday has honored all veterans ever since.

Organize activities for all generations Family reunions involve members of all ages, so make sure you have activities available that everyone can enjoy. Consider games for children and organize a family photo swap for older members. Ask attendees to bring duplicate photos from previous family gatherings so everyone can leave with mementos.
Connect with absent family members There is always the chance someone won't be able to make it to the reunion, but that doesn't mean they have to be left out of the event altogether. Pass around the phone or arrange a video conference during a specific gathering time so they can connect and share stories. Also ask everyone in attendance to take video or photos so they can be sent to other family members as a keepsake. "Families today are spread across states, the country and even the world, so finding time to get together can be challenging," says Maribeth Badertscher, vice president of Corporate Communications at The J.M. Smucker Company. "Whether it's an exotic getaway or big hometown barbecue, a large family get-together is sure to create lasting traditions and memories." The J.M. Smucker Company invites families to share favorite family recipes using Smucker's jams, jellies, preserves, fruit spreads or fruit butters in the third annual "Spreading Smucker's Traditions Recipe and Essay Contest" for the chance to win $20,000 toward planning the family reunion of their dreams. Until Dec. 10, 2010, you can enter a family recipe that has been handed down for at least two generations for a chance to be selected as a finalist. The top five finalists and a family member will be invited to the company headquarters in Orrville, Ohio, for a live recipe demonstration and judging event. The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, D.C., 18 years of age and older and is void where prohibited. Official rules for complete details are available at www.smuckers.com. The Smucker family has passed down many cherished recipes over the past five generations, and a favorite is Jewel Box Cookies. These bite-sized shortbread cookies have been a fixture at holiday gatherings and special meals for generations.

REJOICE, REJOICE ALWAYS! One of my favorite books in the Holy Bible is Philippians. The Apostle Paul wrote some beautiful prayers that I have adopted as some of my favorite scripture. Being disabled for most of my adult life has given me the time to study God’s word and try to share my beliefs and feelings with others. Sometimes people pity those of us who have handicaps and if they have never studied the Bible they can see nothing good about disability. In Philippians 1:6, Paul says “…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” When I look back through my life experiences, I know that God has worked in my life and given me speaking/writing opportunities to tell others about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My prayer is that he will continue to use me until Jesus comes back. Philippians 2:13 continues “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” During this recent hospital stay, God worked miracles with medication and bed rest to enable me to travel that same week to my speaking engagement. Because disability can be depressing and cause anger and bitterness on a low day, another verse that has carried me through is when Paul talked about pressing on towards the goal. “Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” One of the hardest things for a disabled person (or even a well person with a troubled heart) to do is find anything positive about their life experiences. But once again I have adopted Philippians 4:4-7 to get me though low times, loss of relationships, and hospital stays. If you aren’t to that point in a relationship with our Lord and Savior, you may scoff and wonder what you have to rejoice about, but my prayers go out that others can find peace and rejoice in their troubles. Philippians 4:4-7 reads: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Just as Paul did, I’ve learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I’ve had times of need and times of plenty. I have learned the secret of being content (for some of us that is easier when we live alone). But the one verse that I always remind myself of is that “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.’ (Philippians 4:13)

As U.S. economy wanes, study finds Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and other fraternal benefit societies generate billions for America's communities Submitted by Eric Brady
A landmark new Georgetown University study released today demonstrates that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and others of the nation's 70-plus fraternal benefit societies provide $3.4 billion annually in direct support and valuable social capital that fills expanding, otherwise unmet, needs in communities across the nation. Working through community-based member networks and focusing on the most pressing needs at the local and national levels, the study found that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans—the nation's largest fraternal benefit society, with approximately 2.6 million members— provides not only direct charitable contributions and volunteerism, but also much-needed “social capital.” This capital is built through the efforts of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans’ network of (member) chapters and results in stronger communities. America's fraternal benefit societies are not-for-profit mutual aid organizations created more than a century ago to serve the financial and social needs of communities. While Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and other fraternal benefit societies provide some $1.8 billion a year in direct contributions to communities, their impact throughout the United States—from assisting families struggling with medical bills to providing financial literacy initiatives to acting as a first-response network in the face of natural disasters—generates another $1.6 billion in social capital, according to the firstof-its-kind analysis. The study was authored by Phillip Swagel, a Georgetown University/McDonough School of Business professor who served as a senior economist in both the Bush and Clinton Administrations. “Fraternal benefit societies have quietly played a key role in helping build and maintain the economic and social infrastructure of this country,” said Brad Hewitt, president and CEO of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. “We are in a unique position to further build social capital and make a significant difference in communities nationwide through the volunteerism and charitable giving of our members.” Swagel's analysis focused on the activities of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and the second-largest fraternal, the Knights of Columbus. Like other fraternal benefit societies, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and the Knights of Columbus operate as membership organizations whose mission is to provide financial security to members as well as provide a structure for members’ charitable giving and volunteerism with compounding benefits in communities. For example, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and its members serve as the largest source of non-
governmental support to nonprofit projects and organizations like Habitat for Humanity International, providing both monetary support and thousands of volunteers, which the government alone cannot sustain. “Habitat for Humanity’s alliance with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is invaluable in helping us reach our goal of providing even more decent and affordable housing around the world,” said Mark Crozet, senior vice president of Resource Development, Habitat for Humanity International. “Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has played a major role by giving financially. In fact, more than 9 percent of Habitat’s U.S. production from 2006-2009 is attributable to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, plus hundreds of homes built internationally. And we have benefited greatly from the engagement of thousands of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans members who volunteer with Habitat nationally and abroad.” “In a time of economic uncertainty and in the face of an enormous fiscal challenge, fraternal benefit societies work to strengthen communities across the country” said Swagel. “These unique community-based networks provide a structure that supports volunteerism and builds social capital. This gives immense benefits to communities and huge returns to American taxpayers.” Increased social capital has been found to promote long-term economic stability in communities, as evidenced through a better educated population, higher incomes, a stronger economy, and lower incidence of social ills such as criminal activity.

State aging conference aims to build a livable, senior-friendly North Carolina RALEIGH—North Carolina’s baby boomers, one quarter of the state’s population, are beginning to enter retirement, the start of an enormous increase in the number of older residents and the need for services geared toward them, Gov. Bev Perdue told participants at a state conference Wednesday.
pare for an aging workforce, to improve the safety and security of seniors, to increase opportunities for lifelong learning and to identify ways to better utilize senior volunteers and their skills. This is part of working toward one of the Governor’s cornerstone objectives: building safer and healthier communities.
Perdue welcomed nearly 650 seniors, aging service providers, advocates and experts in the field of aging to the North Carolina Governor’s Conference on Aging at the Sheraton RTP in Durham. She emphasized this year’s theme, Building a Livable and Senior-Friendly North Carolina, in asking conference participants to help the state meet the coming wave of demographic change head on.
Today, 37 North Carolina counties have more people age 60 and older than those 17 and younger. In 2030, it is projected that 71 counties will have more people age 60 and older than those 17 and younger.
“We must come up with creative solutions to make senior services work better for our aging population in these tight budget times,” Perdue said. “And we must seize opportunities to use the talents and experience of our seniors.” With the focus on developing policy recommendations, Gov. Perdue called on the conference participants to help shape the future of the state for “living wise and aging well.” Under an historic executive order from Gov. Perdue, agencies, for the first time, are working to identify ways to better pre-

• Children who want the best care for their aging parents. • Communities who appreciate and care for their senior citizens. • Being taught to respect our elders. • Residents who enrich our lives. • An experienced, caring staff. • Active minds. • Healthy bodies and spirits. • Our residents’ smiles. • A good book and a cozy chair. • A good meal. • Friendship.
The primary goal of the conference is to develop recommendations to guide future state policy to strengthen North Carolina’s response for its aging population. The work of conference participants will build on two activities initiated by Gov. Perdue—the Governor’s Policy Roundtables and the Assessment of the State’s Readiness for an Aging Population, which were conducted through the spring and summer. The work of conference participants—along with that of the roundtables and state assessment—will inform the next State Aging Plan for 2011-2015.
Join our residents, families, and staff in honoring those who have served us by serving our country! Eleven veterans who live at our Horizon Bay Assisted Living Community will be honored in a special ceremony. Join us for a color guard presentation, military memorabilia display, and light refreshments. RSVPs appreciated: 704-782-1100

Home Instead Senior Care eager to reach more Seniors through Be a Santa to a Senior program With Christmas just around the corner, Home Instead Senior Care of Rowan and Cabarrus counties are busy preparing for their 6th annual Be a Santa to a Senior program. Last year this program helped to brighten the lives of more than 600 seniors by providing gift packages to older adults who were isolated or financially challenged. This year, due to the economy, there are even more financially challenged seniors who will spend this Christmas alone or without items that they need. For this reason, Home Instead Senior Care employees hope to reach even more seniors within the local community. In order to make this happen, the agency is dependant on many local volunteers and businesses to help with gift pick up, wrapping of gifts, delivery of gifts and businesses to serve as tree hosts. This program runs from November 1st through December 15th 2010. Prior to the holiday season, participating facilities will be selected and given wish lists for several needy seniors in their facility. Once seniors are chosen, the names and wish lists are given to Home Instead Senior Care where the information is put onto ornaments. Home Instead Senior Care then selects businesses within the community to serve as tree hosts. The ornaments are placed on the trees. Holiday shoppers are able to pick an ornament from the tree, pur-

chase items from the ornaments and return the items to the tree hosts location with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care will recruit volunteers from the community to collect, wrap and distribute the gifts. The annual wrapping parties for this year will be hosted by two local churches in the Rowan and Cabarrus county area. The first wrapping party will be held at Forest Hills United Methodist Church in Concord from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on December 13, 2010. The second wrapping party will be held at First Baptist Church in Salisbury from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on December 14, 2010. General Manager and Co-owner of Home Instead Senior Care in Rowan County, Jena Hare explains that the annual wrapping parties go beyond just wrapping gifts; they create memories that last a lifetime. "My favorite memory from our Santa to a Senior Program in years past is of one of our volunteers. She was helping wrap gifts with her two children, who were so excited to be a part of our efforts. They wore Santa hats and big smiles, saying they were getting to be one of Santa's elves for grandmas and grandpas."
