Harry Warren says he looks forward to getting to work serving N.C. House District 77. But he’ll have to wait a while longer to make sure that’s what he’ll be doing. Incumbent Rep. Lorene Coates says she’ll call for a recount if the margin of her loss to Warren stays as close as it appeared Tuesday. In unofficials results, Warren, the Republican challenger, edged out five-term Democratic representative Coates 9,087 votes to 8,918. That’s a margin of 50.47 percent to 49.53 percent, making it the tightest local race of the evening. And it’s within the 1 percent difference that would allow Coates to call for a recount. The Rowan County Board of Elections must still certify the re-

sults Nov. 12 after counting provisional ballots and mail-in absentees postmarked by Tuesday. There was no way to know election night how many of each there would be in the 77th House District, Elections Director Nancy Evans said. The uncertainty didn’t stop Warren’s supporters — who had been on the edge of their seats all night in the commissioners meeting room at the Rowan County Administration Building — from erupting in cheers when the totals appeared on a large screen. And it didn’t keep Warren from basking in the moment. “I’m just very thankful to God for the opportunity to run” he said. “This was just a real grassroots effort, and I’m just very elated with the way it turned out. I’m looking forward now to serving all of District 77 as we go into the new year.” As well wishers swarmed Warren, his wife Catherine and their

daughters, 13-year-old Alexandra and 11-year-old Morgan, Coates made her way to across the room to congratulate Warren. “I’m a little surprised, but you know, I ran a positive campaign,” said Coates, who has complained about negative cards mailed to local voters on Warren’s behalf by the N.C. Republican Executive Committee. “I’ve given my best to Rowan County,” said Coates, a 74-year-old retiree. “I think the tidal wave got me.” Coates referred to the wave of GOP victories that handed Republicans control of the U.S. House and both houses of the N.C. General Assembly. If Warren’s victory holds, he’ll join Rep. Fred Steen and Sen. Andrew Brock — both Republicans who ran unopposed this year — in

Incumbents Mitchell, Barber top vote-getters BY KARISSA MINN The three Republican candidates for county commissioner edged out two Democrats in Tuesday’s election. According to unofficial results, commissioners Chad Mitchell and Jon Barber will keep their seats, and former commissioner Jim Sides will regain his. They will join Republican Carl Ford and Democrat Raymond Coltrain on the board. Mitchell received the most votes

with 24,623 or 26.71 percent, and Barber came in second with 21,820 votes or 23.67 percent. Sides placed third with 18.745 votes or 20.34 percent. Mitchell, 34, a civics and government teacher at East Rowan High School, thanked his supporters Tuesday night and said he is happy with the results. “Going into today, I was just shooting for the top three, so number one is icing on the cake,” he said. He said voter turnout was “pretty decent” for a mid-term election.

Mitchell, Barber and Sides all said they believe a Republican wave of voters helped their vote margins but probably didn’t change the results. Mitchell said he could work with whomever was elected to the board, especially those who have been there before. “Jim and Jon I’ve both worked with before, so I know where each of them are coming from,” Mitchell said. Barber, 50, is the owner of Bear

When the Rowan County Board of Elections posted early voting figures Tuesday, Brandy Cook led Karen Biernacki with about 60 percent of the ballots. And Cook never lost her big lead, winning in a landslide with 63.97 percent of the ballots cast and 10,008 more votes than Biernacki. Cook, the Republican candidate, received 22,917 votes, with Democrat Biernacki getting 12,909. As the final precincts were entered, and the final results were posted showing the win, Cook, her friends, family and supporters cheered and embraced each other. Cook, 34 years old and working on her ninth year as an assistant district attorney in Cabarrus County, said she felt “blessed” the residents of Rowan County have given her the opportunity to be

Auten remaining sheriff Noble: ‘I will support Auten in what he does’ BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Sheriff hopefuls, longtime co-workers and friends Kevin Auten, 49, and John Noble, 63, proved that nothing can come between their friendship — not even the 16,481 votes Auten received over Noble in the race to be sheriff of Rowan County. The two gave each other a big hug as the final numbers came in — Auten receiving 26,381 votes and Noble getting 9,900 — congratulating each other with smiles on their faces. The percentage of votes — Noble with 27.29 and Auten with 72.71 — didn’t change too much from the time the early voting numbers came in until the final count. But one thing was for sure — Noble and Auten are definitely the majority favorite of voters in some precincts. Auten received 745 votes in the Faith precinct, with Noble getting 116.

Burr holds off Marshall’s challenge to go back in Senate ful.” Marshall, a veteran politician in Raleigh, had cast herself as an outsider in the race. She blamed Burr for contributing to problems with Washington politics and questioned his ties to interest groups. Marshall vowed to be a champion for average North Carolina residents, touting her work fighting Wall Street firms during her tenure as secretary of state. Marshall used her post-election speech to express concern about the gap between the rich and the poor. She pointed out that Wall Street is returning to high profits and bonuses while average Americans contin-

district attorney. “And I will work extra hard to make them proud that I’m the district attorney,” she said. Cook said she was looking forward to the new challenges that await her as she begins her four-year term in January. “For years, I’ve focused on repeat offenders and habitual felons, and that will be one of my new focuses as the elected district attorney,” she said. Biernacki, 49, who is working on her 14th year as an assistant district attorney in Rowan County, said she was disappointed but remained positive. “But I’m very grateful for those who supported me and worked so hard for me, and I wish Brandy the best of luck,” she said. “It’s going to be a tough job, and I wish her the best of luck.” Biernacki beat Cook in several precincts, including West Ward 3 where she received 248 votes compared to Cook’s 24. Cook took 805 votes in the Bradshaw precinct, far more than Biernacki’s 193. “I’m glad that we ran a positive campaign from the beginning to the end and did not engage in any negativity,” Cook said. Cook will replace longtime prosecutor and Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly, who is retiring.

The Bradshaw precinct also favored Auten, with 864 voters for the Republican candidate, and 139 for Democratic candidate Noble. Noble had a very large lead over Auten in his own precinct — East Spencer — where he received 260 votes to Auten’s four. Noble said that although he hoped for more votes, he’s glad the new sheriff will be someone he knows. “We’re friends along with being officers,” Noble said. “I will support Kevin Auten in what he does. If he needs me to do anything I’ll be more than happy to.” Auten said he and Noble were friends during the primaries, were friends Tuesday night, and will be friends in the future. “He’s a quality person,” Auten said. “A first-class guy and very experienced officer. “I still put faith in his knowledge and his experience. He hears things in the community that I might not hear that are important.” Noble is very thankful of everyone for supporting him and helping with his campaign. “They did an excellent job,” he said. “It just wasn’t my time and I accept it. “I gave it my best shot, but the citizens have spoken.” Noble said he enjoyed campaigning, and said his and Auten’s friendship kept the campaign clean. “There was no negativity between either one of us,” he said. “Because if you’re a true friend, you don’t do things like that.” Noble said this will be his last campaign for sheriff, but looks forward to continuing to work as a part-time deputy for the Sheriff’s Office. Auten was appointed sheriff upon the resignation

GOP takes both NC chambers RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republicans gained control of both chambers of the General Assembly on Tuesday, ending more than a century of Democratic control of both chambers as the GOP took advantage of voter unhappiness nationwide and a difficult state budget picture. Unofficial results Tuesday show GOP candidates winning at least 28 seats in the Senate and 62 in the House, ensuring they’ll have more seats than the Democrats. The Republicans also were leading in two more Senate districts and three more in the House.

VOTE 2010

Voter turnout goes as expected: nearly 41 percent cast ballots Voter turnout in Rowan County ran pretty much as projected Tuesday, with 40.67 percent of the electorate casting ballots. County Elections Director Nancy Evans had predicted a 40 percent turnout. Of the county’s 90,513 registered voters, 36,814 cast ballots in early voting or on Election Day, according to unofficial results. Of that total, 9,065 voted straightparty Republican and 5,389 voted straight-party Democratic, while 185 selected Libertarian. Voters were still lined up at some precincts when polls closed at 7:30 p.m. and most polling places saw steady voting all day. Genoal Russell, chairwoman of the Rowan County Democratic Party, visited several precincts early in the day and said turnout was great

for a non-presidential election. “We’ve been working hard,” she said. “We are optimistic.” Republican Party Chairman Greg Edds — whose candidates did very well Tuesday — said he was “cautiously optimistic” before polls closed. He said the candidates on both sides worked hard. Dan and Jean Dagenhart, who voted at Isenberg Elementary School, said they always vote but thought it especially important this year to bring balance back to Washington. They voted for Republican Greg Dority, who challenged incumbent U.S. Rep. Mel Watt. Dority lost, but many of other GOP candidates won, delivering at least the U.S. House of Representatives to Republican Party control. “I just think we have a lot of work

to do in Congress and I hope that we can have some bipartisanship there now after this election because it’s sorely needed,” Dan Dagenhart said. Karen Frazer and her husband, Ron Frazier, said they’ve always voted because they feel “that’s how

democracy works.” The Spencer couple headed out to North Rowan High School to cast their votes around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Their top priority was voting in the U.S. Senate race. “I want to see Elaine Marshall elected,” Frazer said. If you want your voice to be heard this is where it gets heard.” John and Joyce Limly of Spencer said they felt like it’s their “civil duty” to vote in every election. “We try to read their platforms and vote for the best person,” Joyce Limly said. Spencer resident John Durham said he came out to the polls Tuesday to support his friend Kevin Auten in the race for sheriff. “I think he can do a really good job and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do,” Durham said.

James Vernetta of East Spencer said he voted for John Noble for sheriff and Anna Mills Wagoner for Superior Court judge. “Those two alone made me want to come out and vote,” he said. Annie Lee of Spencer said she votes in every election, but Noble was the standout candidate this time. “He was the only candidate I actually knew a lot about,” she said. In Cabarrus County, 43.3 percent of the 110,071 registered voters cast ballots. In 2006, the last off-year election, 34 percent of voters turned out. Cabarrus Board of Election Director Linda Grist said no major problems were reported. Votecounting machines malfunctioned at “a couple” of polling places, Grist said, but those ballots were placed in secure boxes and re-scanned once the machines were repaired.

Former U.S. Attorney Anna Mills Wagoner is returning to the local judicial system after being elected Tuesday to fill the Superior Court bench. The position was vacated by Superior Court Judge John L. Holshouser because of his age. According to state law, judges must retire at the end of the month in which they turn 72 and he reached that age Aug. 28. Wagoner received more than half the votes cast in the race, with 58.47 percent or 18,668 votes. Challengers Marshall Bickett and David Bingham split the remainder of the votes with 20.07 percent of the votes or 6,407 votes going to Bickett and 21.46 percent of the votes or 6,850 going to Bingham. “I feel an incredible appreciation and an overwhelming sense of thanks for this community and for their support and belief in me,” she said. Wagoner was collecting campaign signs with her husband, Bill, when their daughter, Anna Gregory, called to tell them the results she was hearing on the radio. Wagoner said she received unbelievable and never ending support from campaign workers and the community. She wanted her campaign to be positive. Wagoner spent a lot of time educating the voters about the ballot and the possibility of an instant runoff. “I’m incredibly overwhelmed. This totally surpasses any of my dreams,” she said. Her husband and father-in-law were with her at the board of elections to see the final results. Wagoner was appointed U.S. attorney in 2001 by President George Bush. Before that, she had been a District Court judge in Rowan County for 11 years, including seven as chief District Court judge. For five years, Wagoner was partner in a Salisbury law practice. She served as executive director of the Family Abuse Crisis Council for a year. She graduated from Salisbury schools, received her bachelor of arts degree in English

Dixon, Eddinger re-elected to District Court bench BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Rowan County voters decided District Court Judges Beth Dixon and Kevin Eddinger would return to the bench. Dixon received more than half the votes cast in the race Tuesday, defeating attorney Doug Smith. This will be Dixon’s third term. She received 61.62 percent of the vote or 17,388 votes. Smith received 38.38 percent of the vote or 10,828 votes. Eddinger, who also will be entering his third term, received 55.32 percent of the vote or 15,900 votes. Showfety was a few thousand votes behind Eddinger, with 12,840 votes or 44.68 percent. Two other District Court judges, Charlie Brown and Bill Kluttz, ran unopposed in their respective races. Dixon called herself an experienced judge, but an inexperienced politician. She said her opponent ran an excellent campaign. “I’m grateful for the support of Rowan County. I wouldn’t have predicted this,” she said. She is also grateful to continue her work in the judicial system. Dixon said she was thankful to her husband, Glenn, and her oldest son, Roy, who she said “campaigned vigorously.” Roy, who had been at the polls for much of the day, came up to his mother and gave her a big hug. Dixon, 45, has been a District Court judge since 2002. Before that, Dixon worked as an assistant district attorney, beginning in September 2000. She had also worked in private practice as an attorney and, from 1995-1999, served as an attorney advocate for the Rowan County Guardian ad Litem program. Dixon and her husband live in Salisbury and

Smith said he wouldn’t have changed anything about the way he ran his campaign. “I am so proud of those individuals who gave so much in our cause, in our campaign,” he said as supporters shook his hand following the results. Smith said on Monday he took time out to reflect on his campaign and what he referred

to as his nine-month journey. “I’ve met so many good people. I’ve enjoyed the endeavor, talking to folks about what I stood for,” Smith said. Smith and his family, including his mother, wife, Melissa, and daughter waited at the board of elections as results came in. “It’s been a long year,” Eddinger declared following the race. Eddinger, who won his first election in 2002, admitted to an affair earlier this year with a courtroom clerk. The relationship had been over for a year, he told the Post in February. “I’d like to thank my wife for her absolutely unwavering support, all of my extended family, the people who came out to support us,” he said. Eddinger said he and his family felt very blessed. He said he intends to work harder than ever. He feels very close to his EDDINGER father, Dr. Charles Frederick Eddinger, who passed away in July. The elder Eddinger encouraged his son before he died. “He told me before he passed to not even consider losing,” Eddinger said. He knows his father would be proud, as is his mother, Louise. Eddinger, 55, and his wife, Liana, live in Salisbury with their twins Michael and Mia. Showfety has been practicing law for 26 years. Her current areas of practice include estate planning, trust formation and administration, business law and real property. This was Showfety’s first time seeking an elected postion. Dixon and Eddinger will be sworn in in January. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

Newcomers Richard Miller and Mike Caskey and incumbents Kay Wright Norman and Jean Kennedy were elected to the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education on Tuesday night. Miller clenched the North seat with 51 percent of the vote, 13,242 votes, followed by Craig Pierce with 31 percent, 7,900 votes, and W.F. Owens with 18 percent, 4,507 votes. “I was pleased to see that there was a clear majority that believed I had the ability to do the job,” Miller said. “I think there is a big task ahead of us in helping to guide the school system, but I’m ready to commit my time and energy to give us the educational system we deserve to have.” Pierce said he isn’t a politician, but that’s who voters elected. “The North Rowan district deserves exactly what they got, and they don’t need to complain when nothing else happens to their schools,” he said. Owens said he didn’t expect to win the race, but was surprised Miller won. “I said if I didn’t finished fourth I’d go to bed happy,” he said. “I am a bit perplexed on how someone can come out, run for that office and virtually say nothing as far as taking position and people are stupid enough to elect him.” Caskey received 11,595 votes, 48 percent of the vote, beating out former school board member L.A. Overcash who had 35 percent, 8,449 votes, and newcomer Troy Rushing Jr. with 16 percent, 3931 votes, for the South seat. This will be Caskey’s first time serving on the board; he was defeated by Patty Williams for the seat in 2006. “I’m thankful for everyone who voted for me, I appreciate all of the support and will work hard for them,” he said. “It’s going to be a tough couple of year financially ... I know the state is going to make more cuts, but we just have to work together to weather this storm.” Rushing congratulated Caskey on his win. “He’s a fine guy, so I know he’ll do a good job” he said. “It’s been a really good experience, I’ve enjoyed meeting some really nice people.” Overcash said he is disappointed with his loss, but wishes Caskey the best. He thanked his supporters for all of their help throughout the campaign. Incumbent Kay Wright Norman received 46 percent, 11,888 votes, to keep her seat representing the West district. Opponents Donna Hogue had 28 percent, 7,155 votes, and Eric Trail had 26 percent, 6,642 votes. “I am pleased that I was re-elected, I appreciate all of the votes that I got from the people of this county,” she said. “I hope that they realize that I consider it an honor that they would entrust me with their vote and know that in doing so that I will work for the good of the system and their individual children. “Tomorrow, I’ll just continue what I’ve been doing.” Norman has served on the board for more than 15 years and is looking forward to her next term. “It will be interesting ... we have some new people on the board,” she said. “I’m pleased that we’ll be working together for a common goal.” Hogue congratulated Norman and thanked her supporters for their vote. She said she’ll continue to keep up with the school board decision. “I’ll still be a stakeholder in the school system because I’ll still have children who are in school,” she said. Kennedy ran unopposed, receiving 99 percent, 20,930 votes. One percent, 334, voters chose to write in a candidate. She said she’s looking forward to continuing to work on advancing student achievement. “I want us to forever keep our students as the focus of what we do,” she said.

City will push ahead on Shober rehab despite railroad opposition BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Despite objections from a powerful railroad, Salisbury City Council did not back down Tuesday from a decision to support rehabilitation of historic Shober Bridge. Norfolk Southern Railroad wants the controversial old bridge that carries Ellis Street across the tracks replaced and lengthened so the company has the option of adding a third track. Now, backed by passionate local

historic preservationists, city officials will try to convince the N.C. Department of Transportation to side with Salisbury in the conflict that could turn into a battle. No one knows if the railroad can prevent Salisbury from rehabilitating a bridge the city owns, City Planner Dan Mikkelson said. Finding out “depends on how strong a fight you are willing to put up,” Mikkelson told City Council on Tuesday. The interminable Shober Bridge project came to a crisis last year

when N.C. DOT denied the city access to federal funds and then directed Salisbury to either complete a National Environmental Policy Act process or pay back $171,000 for planning and engineering, Mikkelson said. The city had been waiting for direction from the railroad, he said. In a surprise vote in August, Council agreed to support rehabilitation of the bridge and asked Norfolk Southern to reply within 60 days. On the 59th day, Norfolk Southern engineer S.A. Overbey wrote,

“NS does not agree with the rehabilitation option. This project was originally presented as a bridge replacement.” The railroad’s position is unchanged from discussions in January 2006, Overbey said. Council agreed Tuesday to request a meeting with N.C. DOT Secretary Gene Conti “to explain to him our unique situation in Salisbury,” Kluttz said. “Local citizens are correct that we need to do more to protect historic properties, but we have to have

DOT on our side,” Mikkelson said. Kluttz will meet with Conti in an attempt to restore the city’s access to federal funds for the project, which are administered by the state. The city needs to take its case to the top, Mikkelson said. “The railroad has a unique ability to stall projects they don’t like,” he told the Post. “Even if they don’t have legal authority to prevent us, they certainly represent a huge obstacle to overcome.” Contact Emily Ford at 704-7974264.

VOTE 2010

Watt loses in Rowan but holds onto 12th District BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

Just hours before the polls closed Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., had still not met his Republican opponent faceto-face. No matter, Watt handily defeated Republican Greg Dority and Libertarian Lon Cecil Tuesday on his way to winning his 10th consecutive term. The Associated Press declared Watt the winner by 8:35 p.m. Tuesday. With most precincts reporting from the 12th District’s six different counties late Tuesday night, Watt led with 63 percent of the vote; Dority, 35 percent; and Cecil, 2 percent. In Rowan County, however, Dority topped Watt. Dori-

ty tallied 8,716 Rowan votes (53 percent) to Watt’s 7,290 votes (44 percent) and Cecil’s 403 votes (2.5 percent). Dority also outpolled Watt in Cabarrus and Davidson C o u n t y precincts but could not overcome Watt’s considWATT erable advanin tages Mecklenburg, Guilford and Forsyth counties. Watt and Dority never crossed paths during television appearances or community forums throughout the 12th District. “I still haven’t met the

man,” Watt said early Tuesday evening when he stopped at Salisbury’s West Ward I precinct at the Rowan Public Library. Dority ran a long-distance campaign from little Washington, N.C., far removed from the 12th District. Meanwhile, Watt and Cecil became more familiar with each other at all the political events this fall, and Watt said he now considers Cecil a friend. Cecil said he saw Dority twice during the campaign, including a recent Rowan County Tea Party event. “Mel referred to him as ‘The Ghost Candidate,’ ” Cecil said of Dority. Watt acknowledged he would stay awake Tuesday night “as long as it takes” to

see what the national trend in other U.S. House races would be. Whether Republicans wrest control of the House away from Democrats, or Democrats retain a smaller majority, the character of the House will change — with each new Congress, it always does, Watt said. His workload as a House member will depend on the character of that new Congress, Watt said. If Republicans are in control and set the agenda and refuse to allow Democrats to participate, “that’s an easier job than setting policy.” Over his 18 years in the House, Watt has taken several stances, depending on which party is in power: from loud and confrontational to

quiet and conciliatory, he said. Watt refused to be an apologist for President Obama nor run from what he considered important accomplishments of a Democratic-led Congress over the past two years. Watt supported, for example, the $800 billion stimulus package, a $2 billion Cash for Clunkers program, a controversial healthcare overhaul, financial services reform, a credit cardholder’s bill of rights, the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and other measures generally opposed by Republicans. Dority could not be reached Tuesday night. “It’s been an interesting experience,” Cecil said of his first campaign. “I got to see and meet a lot of people who can give me guidance going

Coble coasts to easy win

Welch captures deeds post Harry Welch Jr. was collecting campaign signs Tuesday night when he heard on the radio he’d won the election for Rowan County Register of Deeds. “I was very surprised” to win, a candid Welch said early this morning. “I was tied up with a lot of family issues and did not get to campaign like I’d like to have. ... I just thought I was behind the whole time.” But Welch, a Republican, ended up ahead and defeated Democratic incumWELCH bent John Brindle. In unofficial results, Welch garnered 19,570 votes to Brindle’s 16,061. That gave Welch 54.92 percent of the ballots cast to 45.08 percent for Brindle. “I felt like it was an answer to prayer,” Welch said. Brindle could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. Brindle, 38, was appointed to finish the term of Bobbie Earnhardt, who retired in November 2008. The Gold Hill resident had been working in the office since 2004 as a deputy register and based his campaign on experience in the office. Welch, 63, has owned Forever Young Productions since 2003 and previously worked at a radio station in Durham. He said during the campaign that strict regulations governing the functions of the Register of Deeds Office make experience less important and promised to improve customer service. Welch will be sworn in for a fouryear term in December. He said the first order of business will be attending register of deeds school. “And I’m anxious to meet the staff that’s in the office right now.”

Corriher gets vote of confidence The only candidate with his name on the ballot for Rowan Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor took a huge chunk of the votes cast in that race Tuesday. In unofficial results, Harry Corriher got 21,577 votes, or 94.45 percent of the ballots cast. Two seats were open in the Soil and Water and Conservation District, and 1,267 voters wrote in their choice to fill one of them. Rowan Elections Director Nancy Evans said the write-ins will be counted Nov. 12, when the Board of Elections certifies election results. Three of the five supervisors on the Rowan County Soil and Water Conservation District Board are elected, and the remaining two are appointed. Corriher, 68, owns two farms and lives just outside of China Grove with his wife, Jane. They have two daughters and one son.

Rep. Larry Kissell drew 53 percent of the vote to defeat Republican challenger Harold Johnson.

Kissell holds on in 8th District BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — Democrat Larry Kissell overcame Republican challenger Harold Johnson to keep his District 8 seat in the U.S. House in Tuesday’s election. Unofficial results reported late Tuesday showed Kissell the winner with 53 percent, 86,426 votes Johnson received 72,352 or 44 percent of ballots cast. But Johnson, former WSOCTV sports anchor, won Cabarrus County by a large margin. With all 46 precincts reporting, unofficial results showed Johnson with 24,607 or 57.8 percent of the vote, compared to Kissell’s 16,454 or 38.6 percent. Kissell, a former textile worker and schoolteacher, defeated longtime Republican Congressman Robin Hayes two years ago. Kissell arrived at his campaign

headquarters on Union Street South a few minutes after 10 o’clock, shortly after the Associated Press called the election. “From the time I said I was going to run, it’s been all about this district,” Kissell told a packed room of supporters who he thanked for their support. “It’s time for D’s and R’s to pull together for this nation,” Kissell said. Some 25 minutes later, Kissell phoned Johnson, whose supporters had gathered at the Afton Tavern off George Lyles Parkway. Johnson was heard to congratulate Kissell, whom he has not met in person. “(Kissell) got the win,” a somber but smiling Johnson told the Post. “He got the vote out and he deserved it. He did what he had to do to win,” Johnson said. But Johnson also said he was pleased that Republicans had, as

of that hour, come close to winning enough seats nationwide to take control of the U.S. House. The campaign was hardfought. Supporters of both candidates ran a host of negative ads – Johnson’s supporters blasting Kissell on spending and alleged failure to create jobs, Kissell’s supporters for Johnson’s supposed plan to raise taxes and privatize Social Security. Johnson did not rule out a 2012 run. “It’s early,” Johnson said. But inside the restaurant, speaking to television cameras, he said that he still had plenty of energy and will to run. Kissell was scheduled to attend another victory celebration in his hometown of Biscoe late Tuesday. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-797-4244.

Republicans sweep Cabarrus commission BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — All three Republican candidates won the race for seats on the Cabarrus Board of Commissioners. With all 46 precincts reporting, unofficial results showed Chris Measmer with 26.5 percent, 31,240 votes. Current board Chairman Jay White had 25.6 percent, 30,286 votes. And Larry Burrage took 25.1 percent with 29,673 votes. Among the two Democratic challengers, Rick Brown took 14,043 votes, 11.9 percent and Jim Fulton received 12,874, 10.9 percent. With his win, 23-year-old Meas-

mer becomes the youngest member of the board and, possibly, the youngest county commissioner in the state. “I’m pleased with the results,” Measmer said, reached by phone at the Wayside Family Restaurant which he co-owns along with his parents, Rex and Molly Measmer. He also congratulated his fellow Republican candidates. “I look forward to serving with both of them,” he said. Measmer also announced another piece of happy news: During his victory party, Measmer said, he proposed to his girlfriend of six years, Laura McIntyre of Kannapolis. She said yes. Measmer said the two met at a rally for then-Congressman Robin

Hayes on election night in 2004, making this a special anniversary for them. “I’m very excited to serve the citizens of Cabarrus County for another four years,” White said. He and his family attended the gathering for U.S. House candidate Harold Johnson. “I think we have some great opportunities,” White said. White was the only sitting commissioner to run for reelection. Commissioners Coy Privette and Grace Mynatt, both Republicans, did not seek another term. Burrage, Fulton and Brown could not be reached for comment. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-797-4244.

Some voters mistakenly try to vote at Rowan library BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Many voters were confused Tuesday about where to cast their ballot. By the end of the day, the chief election judge at the Rowan Public Library had turned away far more people than had voted. Judge Ann Heard said 276 people voted successfully at the library, but 345 people who showed up were at the wrong precinct. Heard helped each voter find his

farther.” Cecil, a High Point resident who lost his job as an electric engineer last year, said he expects to be involved politically in 2012. He said he has a better understanding now of what Libertarians have to do to organize and get their message out. The 12th District includes 20 precincts in Rowan County, including all 10 in the city of Salisbury. A graduate of Yale Law School, Watt served in the N.C. Senate from 1984-86, and before he was elected to the U.S. House in 1992, he served as former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt’s campaign manager for the U.S. Senate in 1990. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

or her correct precinct, even calling to ask for driving directions to the Union Fire Department for one wayward couple Tuesday morning. The confusion stems from the library’s location as a site for early voting, Heard said. Many people recalled voting early at the library in previous elections and just assumed it was their precinct, she said. About 6,500 people voted early at the library this year, including about 500 on Saturday, the last day the service was offered, Heard said.

Officials closed the line at 1 p.m. Saturday but so many were waiting, the last voter didn’t cast a ballot until 2:30, she said. Some voters who mistakenly went to the library Tuesday told the Post they were not deterred and would drive to their correct precinct to cast a ballot. “I do believe in voting,” said Norma Jamison, who said she planned to vote for the $12 million RowanCabarrus Community College bond initiative. Jamison said she supported

Brandy Cook for Rowan County district attorney and Beth Dixon and Kevin Eddinger for Rowan County district court judge. Before she enters the voting booth, Melinda Wilson said she makes up her mind by researching issues and candidates. “I have been paying close attention,” Wilson said. She said she planned to vote yes on the bond and supported Karen Biernacki for district attorney, John Noble for sheriff and Anna Mills Wagoner for superior court judge.

Battling a bad cold, U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-N.C., canceled his Election Day campaign stops Tuesday, but it didn’t stop him from taking an easy victory over Salisbury Democrat Sam Turner. With precincts reporting over five different counties, Coble trumped Turner with 75 percent of the vote to Turner’s 25 percent. The Associated Press named Coble the winner by 8:10 p.m. Tuesday. In Rowan County, Coble also overwhelmed Turner, who found it hard to wage any kind of campaign because of his work commitments as a pilot for United Airlines. In fact, Turner was en route Tuesday night to the Raleigh-Durham airport when Coble was declared the winner. Turner was able to spend the afCOBLE ternoon in Salisbury. Coble captured 15,263 votes (79 percent) in Rowan County to Turner’s 4,073 votes (21 percent). Coble said Tuesday night that Turner was “a nice enough fella,” but he also recognized the first-time candidate didn’t have the time to wage the kind of campaign necessary. With the win, Coble will serve his 14th consecutive term, after first claiming the seat in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was president. He is the longest serving Republican from North Carolina in the U.S. House. Coble, 79, acknowledged he would spend much of Tuesday night following the results in other U.S. House races, to see whether Republicans can regain control. If that happens, Coble could be in line to become chairman again of the House Internet and Intellectual Property Committee — a job he would like to have. Coble said Tuesday night that Republicans did well in the 2010 election because campaigns were about jobs, unemployment and reckless spending by Democrats. Those things will have to be tackled head-on by the new Congress, Coble said. In the campaign, Coble contended that a glaring mistake President Obama committed was making health-care reform the No. 1 issue when Americans were more concerned about these other issues and the uncertainty over whether Bush tax cuts would be extended. Turner, 49, learned to fly in the Air Force. He is a graduate of Salisbury High School and N.C. State University. Turner argued that the root cause of all the problems facing the country is a broken political system running on greed. He expressed frustration with Republicans who play political games “by blocking everything,” even ideas they would support otherwise. Turner said he would have supported the $800 billion stimulus package, though its major flaw was that much of the money went to bail out distressed states. He said he also would have supported healthcare reform that would allow for a singlepayer system. Rowan County has 24 precincts in the 6th U.S. House District. The overall district includes all of Moore and Randolph counties and portions of Rowan, Davidson, Guilford and Alamance counties. In May, Coble faced his first contested primary since winning in 1984, and he topped five other opponents. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-7974263.

ELECTION 2010

High tide for Republicans ny Republican candidate who didn’t win in the 2010 election should probably bail out of politics. That’s a broad statement, but this has been a year of broad statements — voters angry, president bad, anti-incumbency good. At any rate, Rowan County’s conservative bent was evident in Tuesday’s returns, with Republicans winning every partisan race, even edging out N.C. Rep. Lorene Coates, one of the more conservative Democrats in the legislature. Republican Harry Warren’s slim victory is preliminary; Coates has asked for a recount. But final canvasses and recounts seldom change outcomes. Coates has represented Rowan well and did not deserve all the trash-talk the state GOP operatives threw at her, but that seems to be their way, and apparently it worked. If Warren serves constituents as well as he campaigns — state GOP tactics aside — he could be a strong legislator. The fact that voters approved a $12 million bond issue for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in this climate says a lot about the college. The 56 percent “yes” vote shows what broad support RCCC has in the county. The bonds could bring a small property tax increase — 1.25 cents per $1,000 value — but voters were not dissuaded. They’re ready to invest in education. College leaders deserve credit for having the vision and courage to pull this off. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will not skip a beat as Tina Hall exits and Jim Sides comes back on board with the other Republican winners. That’s a pretty even swap. This will be Sides’ third term, none of them consecutive. That must be some kind of record. His political popularity rises and falls with the Republican tide. Chad Mitchell, a less polarizing figure, led the ticket and is looking like a good candidate for chairman, if he wants it. Jon Barber came in second, despite his admitted problems with alcoholism. Rowan voters are a forgiving bunch. The race for district attorney turned out to be lopsided, with Republican Brandy Cook easily defeating Democrat Karen Biernacki, even though Biernacki had the support of widely respected District Attorney Bill Kenerly. All eyes will be watching as Cook, the county’s new lead prosecutor, goes up against many of the defense attorneys who supported her campaign. She has promised to be tough, and it’s her duty to deliver. Nonpartisan races yielded intriguing results, too. But this is the Republicans’ day. The rising tide of voter resentment lifted virtually all Republican boats here and in much of the country. That’s not a big change for Rowan County.

They’re wrong. Election Day isn’t over until you get the results of the Ten-Foot Poll. That’s right, boys and girls: The TenFoot Poll, America’s most reliable source of fanciful facts and figures, is back again, shining a bright, clear light on America’s latest attempts at democracy. Our survey of 1,423 randomly invented voters provides the kinds of electoral insights you simply won’t find anywhere else. And what an election it was! In 2010, Americans went to the polls in large numbers — and in foul moods. In fact, asked to describe the central purpose of their vote this year, our sample split this way: • Send them packing: 24 percent • Send them a message: 57 percent • Send them a pipe bomb: 19 percent At the root of this simmering voter discontent? The still-faltering economy. That was never more clear than when our respondents were asked to list the issues of greatest concern to them this year: • Jobs: 91 percent • Jobs: 93 percent • Are you deaf?!! I said “Jobs”!!!: 99 percentAs the party in control of the White House and — at least in theory — both houses of Congress, Democrats took the brunt of voter anger this time around.

Among the major complaints from our sample: • They didn’t get anything done: 19 percent • They got too much done: 26 percent • They didn’t get anything done and they got too much done: 23 percent • “Illogical?” I’ll show you ‘illogical,’ buster!: 32 percent A particular focus of voter concern was the massive health-care reform bill passed by Congress after a long and tedious legislative struggle. Opponents of the bill objected most strongly to: • A big-government takeover of onesixth of the economy: 25 percent • Those Shariah-law death panels: 18 percent • Letting 24-year-olds keep sponging off their parents: 20 percent • Anything that made Glenn Beck cry: 37 percent Republicans, meanwhile, were largely able to ride the wave of voter distress without offering many detailed policy ideas of their own. Still, voters seemed satisfied with what they knew of GOP plans: • Tax cuts: 11 percent • More tax cuts: 17 percent • Even more tax cuts: 22 percent • Did we mention tax cuts?: 50 percent Asked to compare the Democratic leadership duo of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi with Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, our sample responded like this: • Prefer Reid/Pelosi: 21 percent • Prefer McConnell/Boehner: 26 percent • Prefer being trapped in a mine in Chile: 53 percent President Obama recently expressed

the belief that a newly empowered GOP would feel obliged to work with him in a more responsible and bipartisan manner for the good of the American people. Our own sample of the American people found that the president’s statement: • Was hopelessly naïve: 18 percent • Was incredibly naïve: 24 percent • Was colossally naïve: 43 percent • Made milk come out of their nostrils: 15 percent Perhaps the year’s most interesting development was the rise of the “Tea Party” movement, which drove much of the political debate and toppled veteran officeholders. Those in our sample who identified themselves as “Tea Partiers” said they were most attracted to the movement for these reasons: • Concern about the country’s direction: 16 percent • Reverence for the Founding Fathers and the Constitution: 23 percent • Chance to keep wearing cool costumes after Halloween: 38 percent • Math skills not required: 59 percent Finally, and continuing the trend of recent years, the general tone of the 2010 campaign was seen as overwhelmingly negative. Despite months of virtually non-stop TV, radio and Internet ads, our sample still felt they… • “Didn’t hear enough about solutions”: 49 percent • “Didn’t hear enough about cooperation”: 49 percent • “Didn’t hear enough about Sarah Palin”: 2 percent • • • Rick Horowitz is a syndicated columnist.

LETTERS No candidate can control every aspect of campaign One reason I decided to run for the state House is because I have had enough of career politicians, ideologues and the embarrassing condition to which our political system has declined. Political strategists and special interest groups insist on demonizing opponents and candidates. Twisting the truth and blatantly lying has replaced debate, dialogue and the free exchange of ideas. Our choice as citizens is to accept it, or attempt to change it. I have steadfastly refused to utilize “attack ads” or engage in name-calling regarding Lorene Coates. The fact of the matter is, I had no knowledge of the mailings from the State Republican Party, and had never heard of the organization “Real Jobs NC.” On several occasions I‘ve contacted the Republican Headquarters in Raleigh to determine who was responsible and try to stop the mailings as they are in direct conflict with my campaign values. While there are many who will dismiss this with cynicism, I have learned that no candidate has full control over everything that occurs or affects their campaign, especially when it is from outside sources. Throughout my campaign, I have remained focused solely on the issues and armed with facts. I have stated many times that this campaign is not about

Motorcyclist killed in Concord crash CONCORD — A motorcyclist died Tuesday after crashing into a commercial vehicle that pulled into his path on U.S. 29, the Concord Police Department said. The driver of the commercial vehicle, Alan Louis West, has been charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle. Police say David Oliver Harmon, 62, of 54 Park Drive, Concord, was driving his motorcycle south on U.S. 29 around 11 a.m. and was approaching the intersection at Concord Farms Road. West, 67, of 2503 Earle St., Kannapolis, was driving east on Concord Farms Road and pulled into the intersection at U.S. 29. Police say West failed to yield the right of way and caused the crash. Harmon died on impact.

Two arrested in East Spencer sting The East Spencer Police Department arrested two people Friday during an undercover sting operation targeting drugs, prostitution and break-ins across East Spencer. The Mocksville Police Department was also involved in the operation. Nicole Coursey, 24, of East Spencer, was arrested for soliciting prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia. According to East Spencer Police Chief Floyd Baldo, COURSEY Coursey was arrested after flagging down an undercover officer on Long Street. The same night, police arrested Eric Lamont GraGRAHAM ham, also of East Spencer. Graham, a suspect in several breaking and enterings, Baldo said, was charged with cocaine possession. Baldo said Graham jumped in an undercover car with undercover narcotics officers, trying to catch a ride. Graham jumped from the vehicle and Baldo caught up with him soon after, he said, finding two large rocks of crack cocaine in Graham’s pocket. Baldo said Graham tried to run, but Baldo and East Spencer Police Officer Cassandra Rankin tackled him. Graham gave a different name at first, Baldo said, but later revealed his true identity, which was linked to three outstanding felony warrants for possession of a firearm by a felon, felony possession of cocaine and possession of a stolen firearm. Graham was given a $10,000 secured bond and is in the Rowan County jail. Baldo said a string of breaking and enterings has also hit East Spencer; the police department has “strong leads” and arrests are expected soon. The East Spencer Police Department is offering a $250 reward to anyone providing information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the breaking and entering suspects. Contact East Spencer Police at 704-637-1660, or visit www.eastspencerpd.net.

Girl, 6, injured when car overturns A 6-year-old girl was treated at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for a head injury Tuesday after her mother overcorrected her vehicle while trying to avoid hitting a small animal in the road. According to N.C. Trooper Horton, Megan Lynn Parrish, 32, of Salisbury, was taking her daughter to school, traveling west on Sherrills Ford Road. Just before Parrish approached the intersection of White Road, she noticed a small animal, and tried to swerve and miss it. Parrish ran off the road, overcorrected and then overcorrected again, turning her vehicle onto its top down an embankment. Parrish and her daughter were sent to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Trooper Horton said the 6year-old had the more serious injuries, and was taken to Baptist to be treated for a deep cut across her forehead. Both Parrish and her daughters were wearing seatbelts.

SALISBURY POST

VOTE 2010

GOP gains House seats; tea party favorites thrive WASHINGTON (AP) — Resurgent Republicans won control of the House and cut deeply into the Democrats’ majority in the Senate in momentous midterm elections shadowed by recession, ushering in a new era of divided government certain to complicate the final two years of President Barack Obama’s term. House Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner, voice breaking with emotion, declared shortly before midnight Tuesday that the results were “a repudiation of Washington, a repudiation of big government and a repudiation of politicians who refuse to listen to the people.” Obama monitored returns at the White House, then telephoned Boehner with congratulations in a call that underscored the power shift. Incomplete returns showed the GOP picked up at least 57 House seats — the biggest party turnover in more than 70 years — and led for eight more, far in excess of the 40 they needed for a majority. Among the losers was Rep. Tom Perriello, a first-termer from Virginia for whom Obama campaigned just before the election. On a night of triumph, Republicans also gained at least six Senate seats, and tea par-

ty favorites Rand Paul in Kentucky, Mike Lee in Utah and Marco Rubio in Florida were among their winners. But Christine O’Donnell lost badly in Delaware, for a seat that Republican strategists once calculated would be theirs with ease. And they lost the nation’s most closely watched race, in Nevada, where Majority Leader Harry Reid was a winner in an especially costly and brutal campaign in a year filled with them. The GOP also wrested nine governorships from the Democrats, Ohio and Pennsylvania among them. In New York, Andrew Cuomo won the office his father, Mario, held for three terms. And in California, Edmund G. Brown Jr., was successful in his bid for a comeback to the governor’s office he occupied for two terms more than a quartercentury ago. The biggest win was the House, a victory made all the more remarkable given the drubbing Republicans absorbed at the hands of Democrats in 2006 and again in 2008. The takeaways came in bunches — five Democraticheld seats each in Pennsylvania and Ohio and three in Florida and Virginia. Democrats conceded nothing while they still had a chance. “Let’s go out there and

)12 YKPU DKI CETQUU VJG DQCTF Republicans marched to the brink of House control Tuesday night in midterm elections shadowed by recession, locking up enough Democratic seats to install a conservative majority certain to challenge President Barack Obama at virtually every turn. Republicans also gained Senate seats, although a takeover there appeared unlikely, and wrested at least seven governorships from Democrats.

Paradowski said the bond will help expand existing programs and add new ones that will train people for new jobs that come to the area and retrain those who find themselves unemployed. “I think the winners are the residents of Rowan County,” he said. “This should help us continue to do the good job the college has done in the past.” Paradowski considers the 9 percent margin for the win is good considering residents didn’t even know it would be on the ballot until commissioners decided to put it before voters in August. “Despite that we managed to get the message out the best we could,” he said. “If we had more time I’m sure the margin would be much larger.” JON C.

He said he is “extremely happy” to serve on the board again. “I am very thankful to have been given the opportunity to serve another four years,” Barber said. “That’s all I was asking for.” In May, Barber resigned from his teaching position at Southeast Middle School amid allegations he was drunk in his sixth-grade classroom. He said he was resigning to “pursue other opportunities.” Authorities investigated potential criminal prosecution but said no charges could be filed based on blood-alcohol test results obtained at a local clinic at the school system’s request. Less than a week after resigning, Barber publicly admitted to a battle with alcoholism and said he entered a recovery program. He said Tuesday he is grateful for the support of family, friends and voters. “The citizens of this county are extremely forgiving,” Barber said. “I asked for their forgiveness, and I believe that was reflected in the votes tonight.” Sides, 62, owner of T-shirt wholesaler Todays Trading Co., sat on the board from 1980-84 and from 2004-08. He thanked his supporters Tuesday and said he is excited to be back. “I’d rather be last winner than first loser,” Sides said with a laugh. “I thank the voters of Rowan County for the confidence they have placed in me, and I hope I can fulfill that obligation.”

Optimism for N.C. State in hoops Associated Press

RALEIGH — Tracy Smith sees plenty of returning talent and a top recruiting class ready to play alongside him at North Carolina State. He knows he might get fewer shots despite being an all-conference performer and the heart of the Wolfpack offense. Yet Smith is focused on bigger issues. “Right now, I’m not even thinking about me getting the ball,” Smith said. “I just want to win. I haven’t made the NCAA tournament since I’ve

been here and that’s one of my biggest goals.” Coach Sidney Lowe has talked about steadily building his program over the past four seasons. Now it’s time to prove he has some staying power by taking a team stocked with depth and potential back to the NCAAs for the first time since Herb Sendek’s final season in 2006. The Wolfpack returns three starters and two others who played significant minutes from a team that made a surprise run to the ACC tour-

donovan McNabb was replaced late in sunday’s loss by rex Grossman.

ASHBURN, Va. — On Day 3 of the Washington Redskins’ attempt to explain the benching of Donovan McNabb, the head coach’s son gave it a try. He was doing a decent job — until he threw in a new wrinkle that only added to the confusion. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that McNabb was told in advance of the possibility of getting pulled from the game if coaches felt the veteran quarterback was struggling. McNabb went on the radio and immediately claimed otherwise, saying: “I didn’t hear that part.”

And, by the way, this just happened to be the day the Redskins decided to bring in JaMarcus Russell for a workout. The former Oakland Raiders quarterback was one of many out-ofwork players getting a look from the coaching staff. The best news for the Redskins was everyone then skedaddled out of town for an off week vacation. The five-day break is exactly what’s needed to settle things down after a dizzying 72 hours of quarterback drama that began when McNabb was pulled in the final 2 minutes of Sunday’s 37-25 loss to the Detroit Lions. To recap: Mike Shanahan said im-

It didn’t take Salisbury’s b o y s Salisbury 3 s o c c e r W. Central 0 t e a m long to find the sweet spot Tuesday night. The Hornets opened the 2A playoffs with a goal just two minutes into their match with visiting Wilkes Central and coasted to a 3-0 victory. “There were a lot of Xs and Os that worked us for tonight,” c o a c h Tom Sexton said SEXTON after SHS (19-1-1) advanced to Saturday’s second round. “We executed our gameplan perfectly. Our set plays worked. Our defense was tremendous. We did exactly what we needed to do to beat a really good team.” Wilkes Central (11-9-1), a fourthp l a c e qualifier out of the Mountain Valley ConferWOODS ence, was frustrated by Salisbury’s hermetically sealed defense — anchored by do-it-all junior B.J. Woods. Salisbury held a 16-2 edge in shots and posted its 12th shutout. “They just had more speed and used space better than we did,” Wilkes Central coach Mike Sloan said. “I was proud with how we played, but they were better than us.” They were better right from the start. The Hornets hit the ground running and grabbed a 1-0 lead when David Simons scored his first goal of the season on a 20-yard one-timer. “It was a surprise to me,” he said. “We’ve kind of had a joke all year that I can’t score until the playoffs. Maybe that’s true.” Simons last goal came in overtime of a second-round playoff win against East Lincoln last November.

SOUTHERN PINES — Lily Yatawara, a junior on Salisbury’s golf team, turned 17 yesterday. She received a birthday cake and some candy from her mother prior to the final round of the 1A/2A/3A state championships at Longleaf. “We’ll go out to eat tonight and probably order a million desserts,” Yatawara said with a laugh. The sweetest prize eluded the Hornets, who finished as the runner-up to West Henderson for the second consecutive year. Salisbury posted a 498 total, and the Falcons won with a 486. They held a 10-shot advantage after one round and didn’t falter with medalist Kayla Sciupider (1-over 143) leading the way. “I came here wanting to win, and I’m really disappointed we didn’t, but they played well,” Salisbury senior Madison Kennedy said. “We played OK.” Sciupider followed a 72 with an even-par 71 to beat East Lincoln’s Mattie Tobey by five shots. Yatawara (81-78—159) tied for eighth place, and Kennedy (84-78—162) finished alone in 12th. Amber Lyerly (86-91— 177) earned a share of 35th in her final high school match, and Brooke Smith had a 102 while replacing Madeline Hoskins.

She had to miss the final round of the 1A/2A/3A golf tournament in Southern Pines, where Salisbury maintained its hold on second place. “It was tough,” Hoskins said. “I really wanted to be there since it’s states and everything, but I knew I had to come back and help out with my tennis team to get one step closer to states.”

The next step for Salisbury (25-2) is the Western final at Shelby (19-1) on Thursday, a rematch of a season-opener the Hornets won 6-1. The Western champion will meet either Tarboro (25-2) or Greene Central (18-8) for the 2A title Saturday in Burlington. Hoskins arrived home at 6:30 p.m. on Monday after shooting a 93 at Longleaf Golf and Country Club. She practiced tennis with her father, Guy, until about 7:15 and then went to a youth meeting. A shaky serve at the 2A singles championships last weekend convinced Hoskins that she needed to sharpen her skills before facing Brevard. “It’s been pretty exhausting,” she said. “I got home from golf at a pretty decent time, so I still had time to go out and play a little bit of tennis. “My first-serve percentage was pretty low Friday during my second match, so I thought I needed to work some of those kinks out.”

Carson’s soccer team is scheduled to play at Charlotte Catholic tonight at 7 p.m. in the first round of the 3A playoffs. Catholic (19-0-1) is ranked No. 1 in 3A. The Cougars, winners of 14 straight matches since a tie against 4A South Meck, have outscored their opponents 80-5 this season. Carson (10-8-2) finished fourth in the NPC, but there is controversy with the Western 3A bracket because NPC co-champion North Iredell must forfeit games due to an eligibility issue. It has been forced to withdraw from the postseason, but instead of changing the brackets and re-seeding the NPC teams, North Iredell’s original opponent (Mid-State No. 5 seed Morehead) gets a bye to the second round.

Leslie, Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown will force Lowe to reconfigure his team, which he hopes will pick up the pace on its notoriously halfcourt-paced ways. If things don’t go as many expect — N.C. State is picked to finish fourth in the ACC — Lowe could be out of a job. “I can’t predict what’s going to happen,” Lowe said. “I can’t say I’m coaching this team any different because I think it’s an NCAA team. I coach the team we have.That’s our goal to get there.” Lowe figures he has enough depth that he can allow Smith to occasionally move from center to the 4-spot, making good on a promise to help Smith develop for a possible NBA career. Still, Smith will be the focus on Lowe’s attack regardless of where he plays. He averaged about 17 points and seven rebounds per game and took 424 shots last season; no other re-

the time to a euphoric Vikings fan base. “I think this is going to be a fun ride.” More like a stunningly brief one. This ride didn’t last much longer than an inexperienced cowboy atop a prized rodeo bull, and it may have inflicted just as much damage. The latest headline-grabbing incident has put Childress in the crosshairs. Owner Zygi Wilf declined to comment through a team spokesman and there is speculation that the coach, despite signing a five-year extension last season, could be in trouble if things continue to crumble. “That would be somebody else’s call completely,” Childress said on Monday. “I have to worry about this football team next week.” Childress has not seen eye-to-eye with Favre for much of the past two seasons, and Harvin became the latest player to question the game plan when he remarked about the lack of halftime adjustments on Sunday in the 28-18 loss to New England. The clumsy way the Moss ordeal unfolded has only increased the criticism. Childress spoke to reporters on Monday afternoon, but did not mention his intention to cut Moss during an extended discussion of the receiver’s performance. He wanted to speak to his team about it firstconference. That left a smattering of players, primarily Leber, to break the news to the media. “I don’t know what’s been going on privately or if there’s been stuff going on behind the scenes, something I’m not aware of,” Leber said. “I’m not sure what the motivation was or what they’re thinking, but it certainly is a surprise when you think you trade for a guy a couple

MINNEAPOLIS — Brad Childress and the Minnesota Vikings have another big mess on their hands. Randy Moss’ abrupt departure was just the latest in what has been a season long on drama and short on success for a 2-5 team that started with Super Bowl aspirations. From Brett Favre’s late arrival to training camp, through an NFL investigation into improper messages allegedly sent by the quarterback a few years ago and now with Moss’ release, the Vikings have been plagued by distraction and now their season is in danger of spinning completely out of control. “Every time I come to work I see the news trucks sitting out there,” linebacker Ben Leber said. “I feel like something is going on. I roll in and keep my ears open.” It all started with another summer-long courtship of Favre, who again considered retirement after leading the Vikings to the NFC title game in January. Childress sent three of his highest-profile players to Favre’s home in Mississippi in August to convince the gray-haired quarterback to make one more run. Favre has struggled on and off the field this season. His 69.8 quarterback rating ranks 29th in the NFL and he has thrown 11 interceptions after being picked off just seven times all of last season. He is also in the middle of a league investigation into allegations that he sent a gameday hostess inappropriate messages while both worked for the New York Jets in 2008. Then Childress sent a third-round draft pick to New England on Oct. 6 for Moss, a player with a long history of clashing with management and coaches. “Pull out your number 84 jerseys, man,” Moss said at

mediately after Sunday’s game that McNabb was yanked because backup Rex Grossman had a better understanding of the team’s two-minute offense. On Monday, the coach shifted his focus, saying nagging hamstring injuries have kept McNabb from practicing at full speed and therefore created doubts as to whether the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback had the “cardiovascular endurance” to run a two-minute drill with no timeouts. On Tuesday, Kyle Shanahan said perhaps his father’s words “came off wrong.” The son gave his play-by-play of how it all shook out. “It came down to last week, when on Monday and Tuesday, because of his hamstring issues, we were deciding, that ‘Hey, this guy’s hurting, we know he won’t take himself out. We don’t think he should play. We’ve got to rest him up and get him better for the rest of the year,’” Kyle Shanahan said. “Donovan being the competitor that he is, came in and said ‘I will rise to the occasion. I will play.’ And he talked us into it. And we said, ‘Hey, we understand, we’re going to let you go. If we do feel you’re struggling in the game — which we think it’s possible because you can’t practice full speed — then we’ll have to go in a different direction.’” But wait a minute. Both Mike Shanahan and McNabb have indicated that McNabb wasn’t tipped off that he could be taken out. McNabb even said he wouldn’t want to know something like that

because it would be just one more thing to weigh on his mind. McNabb, making his weekly appearance on ESPN980, was asked to respond to Kyle Shanahan’s version of events. “I didn’t hear that part. ... We had a conversation of just the injuries that I have, being a little banged up,” McNabb said. “Maybe getting an opportunity to rest up for the long haul. But I didn’t hear the word ‘benching’ or anything to that effect.” Otherwise, McNabb did his best to bite his tongue and keep his sense of humor about the whole affair. When he limped into the locker room — yes, those 33-yearold hamstrings are noticeably bothering him — he jokingly interrupted an interview with rookie receiver Anthony Armstrong by asking: “How’s your cardiovascular endurance?” Earlier, McNabb told reporters he could have finished the game and was upset that was pulled. He was asked about playing hurt. “My team relies on me being there. I want to be there for my team,” McNabb said. “If I can’t walk, then I can’t go. That’s just the way I play, no matter if you’re banged up or what, you’ve got to be in there.” McNabb declined to criticize Mike Shanahan saying: “Coach makes his decisions.” McNabb’s struggles in his first year under a new offense have been greater than expected — he’s having his worst season statistically since becoming a full-season starter in 2000. “You can ask these guys how I work and my work ethic,” McNabb said. “My work ethic has never been a question. My tempo has never been a question.”

Redskins give tryout to Russell Associated Press

Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell worked out with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said the former LSU star was one of many players, including a

turning player even had 300 attempts. But two other returning starters, senior point guard Javi Gonzalez and sophomore long-range shooter Scott Wood, could see their roles change significantly. Gonzalez averaged nearly 10 points last season, but Lowe’s teams have struggled with inconsistent point guard play since his second season and Lowe is high on Harrow. Wood started all 36 games but could be better in a sixth-man role with the arrival of Brown, a wing guard who Lowe said matured after a year at prep school after failing to qualify academically for last season. Leslie, a 6-foot-8 forward, is widely regarded as the jewel of a recruiting class that ranked fifth nationally according to Scout.com. Lowe could put Leslie alongside Smith to bring some athleticism to the frontcourt, while reserve Richard Howell (6-8, 261 pounds) showed plenty of potential as a freshman. With those options, Smith likely won’t face as many double teams as in the past. That could also beef up the scoring punch for a team that failed to score 70 points in 12 of 14 games to close last season. “At this level, I don’t think you can re-

ally double nobody now,” Leslie said. “That’s just going to be a plus for us. If you double, we’ve got a lot of guys that can score the ball.” Of course, some of the optimism sounds familiar. Three seasons ago, N.C. State returned the core of Lowe’s first team, which reached the ACC tournament final and the NIT quarterfinals. The Wolfpack also added a one-and-done freshman in J.J. Hickson. The team was picked to finish third in the league and had a preseason ranking, but chemistry was a problem all season and the Wolfpack finished last in the league while closing with nine straight losses. Another implosion like that could mark the end for Lowe, who has a 71-62 record in four seasons and has frustrated fans by failing to win more than six league games. “He’s a great coach,” said Smith, a freshman on that 2007-08 team. “I told the team that we’re going to go out and just play hard, and that we have had a lot of talent in past years but could never live up to it. I told the guys that this year we need to go out and play real hard and start proving we can win under Coach Lowe — and just try to keep him around.”

This one unfolded after a throw-in from the left sideline bounced around in front of Wilkes Central keeper A.J. Atwell, then spun to Simons at the top of penalty box. “We brought David up because we ran ‘Peaks,’ which is where we pack everybody in,” Sexton said. “We were looking for a train wreck — and that’s exactly what happened. Fortunately, he took the quick shot. He didn’t touch it or play around with it. That’s how we drew it off.” Sloan thought the shot deflected off a defender. “It just caught us cold,” he said. Salisbury extended its lead midway through the first half. Midf i e l d e r Michael Mazur came off the bench and advanced the ball along the right side, then centered a SOSA pass to Atwell’s doorstep. That’s where senior Gerardo Sosa gathered the ball and feathered a shot into the lower right corner. “It was a flick from the wing,” Sosa said after netting his eighth goal. “I brought it down and put it in. It was just a soft touch.” A soft touch that put the Hornets two goals up. “We have seen a lot of those balls go over the bar,” Sexton said. “When you’re right there, it doesn’t take a Howitzer shot to go in. That ball took a long time to go over the line, a little touch — and just what we needed. Sosa, when he goes on the field, he scores.” Salisbury’s final goal came with five minutes remaining and cemented the outcome. Forward Matt Cervantes curled a corner kick from the right side, and teammate Marco Mejia knocked it home. When play resumed a few seconds later, Mejia was tackled from behind and assisted off the field with a bruise lower right calf. When the final whistle blew, this was another victory for Salisbury’s defense. “We controlled play and shut t h e m down,” said John Grant, the Hornets’ best tackler. “We didn’t give them GRANT the inside or the outside. We didn’t give them opportunities to score.” • NOTES: Salisbury will play host to East Lincoln or North Surry at 7 p.m. on Saturday night.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

O’Brien: From sub to star QB Associated Press

The NBA roundup ... COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland quarterback Danny O’Brien was sitting in the seats at a Terps basketball game Monday night when a camera honed in on his location and showed him on the video board at Comcast Center. The crowd roared its approval. In the span of two wild months, O’Brien has gone from being an anonymous second-stringer to big man on campus. After starting the season on the sideline, the redshirt freshman has starters the last five games — winning four of them — and is one huge reason why the surprising Terrapins are 6-2 and bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. “His play has been very responsible for us winning,” coach Ralph Friedgen said. “And I have a lot of confidence that he will continue to get better and better.” O’Brien has thrown seven touchdown passes over the last two games and already been named ACC rookie of the week three times. TECH DISCIPLINE BLACKSBURG, Va. — Stay disciplined. Wrap up. Tackle. Those are the three things No. 20 Virginia Tech will focus on more than usual on Thursday night when Georgia Tech and its always difficult triple-option arrives at Lane Stadium. "Pretty much the secret is just staying disciplined," defensive tackle John Graves said. "Whether or not it's this week or next week, you just gotta stay disciplined." The Hokies (6-2, 4-0 ACC) are the only team still unbeaten in league play, have four games left — all against Coastal Division teams — and will earn a spot in the championship game simply by winning out. But the Yellow Jackets present a challenge of unfamiliarity. BIG EAST PHILADELPHIA — The Big East conference is set to expand its football roster. Big East presidents unanimously agreed to expand the number of football-playing schools to 10 at Tuesday's board of directors meeting in Philadelphia. Commissioner John Marinatto said in a statement potential expansion candidates will start to be evaluated. He declined comment to The Associated Press, along with athletic directors and Big East adviser Paul Tagliabue, after the meeting. The 16-member Big East, where all members play basketball, has eight teams playing football. NEBRASKA LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska offensive coordinator Shawn Watson says injured quarterback Taylor Martinez practiced "surprisingly well" Tuesday and will be ready to play Saturday at Iowa State. Martinez sprained his right ankle in the ninthranked Cornhuskers' game against Missouri.

He did not reveal details of the discussions but expressed regret about the incident. “As a competitor sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment,” Grantham said after Tuesday’s practice. “I wish the situation hadn’t happened. It was a tough, hard-fought game. They won it. I’m ready to move forward and finish out the year strong.” When asked if he felt he should apologize to Henry, Grantham said, “I’ve kind of basically said what I’m going

he rushed for 2,138 yards and 30 touchdowns. Former offensive line coach Ben Hepler recruited Gaither and Gaither (5-foot-10, 190) already knew about Catawba through R.J. Speaks, a Forbush product who played for the Indians in the 1990s. Assistant D.J. Summers works diligently with Gaither at practice. “The biggest thing is coming out of high school I was trying to do things so fast,” Gaither said. “He wants me SUMMERS to slow down, read and see the next level of tacklers.” Catawba coaches decided to redshirt Gaither in 2009. It’s a move that should pay off down the road. “When Rashaun was on the scout team last year, he was tough for us to tackle, and he’s put on about 20 pounds since he came here,” head coach Chip Hester said. “He has great vision. He still doesn’t look big, but he’s got powerful legs that make him physically able to be a college running back.” Basically, if finding more carries for Gaither is a problem, well, it’s a pretty nice problem to have. “We’ve really got confidence in four backs (Bobby Morrison and Aaron Rainey are the others),” Hester said. “It’s hard to even think about taking away any carries from Josh, the way he’s been playing, but Rashaun was very impressive.” 

SAC AWARD: Redshirt freshman defensive end Damein Lee (his first name has been spelled a couple of ways, but it’s now officially Damein) was Catawba’s second SAC Defensive Player of the Week honoree in the past three weeks. Lee forced two fumbles and made three tackles for loss at Mars Hill. “He’s talented and he’s passionate about football,” Hester said. “He takes it personally. He wants to win badly.” Lee was recruited by larger schools, but his mother was won over by Catawba linebackers coach

Grantham “probably, like the rest of us, was just hoping he’d miss the kick or something like that. I don’t think it’s anything too much to get worked up about. “It’s not like he charged the field at the kicker and tried to do something to him. ... There was nothing dangerous or illegal or stupid like that, so I don’t really see the big deal about it.” Georgia receiver Tavarres King said he didn’t see the incident or watch the kick. “I was too nervous to watch,” King said. “I was laying down.” Florida senior guard Carl

KUDOS FOR BEAM: Vincent Beam, a redshirt freshman from Wilkes Central, played frequently at Yback on Saturday with starter Grayson Downs and top backup Chris Peoples sidelined by injuries. “Vince was the only true Y-back who was healthy, and I thought he did a great job blocking,” Hester said. “We ran a lot of plays behind him.” 

Assistant Todd McComb, right, here with fellow assistant Khanis Hubbard, left, and Bob Casmus, helped convince Damein Lee to come to Catawba. Todd McComb. “Coach McComb was persistent and when he presented Catawba, he really stood out to my mom,” Lee said. “Once he talked to her, I guess I was going to Catawba.” Lee is already good, but he listens daily at practice to older players and coaches Khanis Hubbard and Radell Lockhart. “Mostly it’s about doing the small things better,” Lee said. “Doing the small things makes a good player a great player.” 

Johnson confirmed Florida players were told not to talk about Grantham on Tuesday. Johnson couldn’t resist. “I mean, hey, he did it and we kicked a field goal, so he needs to do it every time we play against them, I guess,” Johnson said. Murray said Grantham, the former Dallas Cowboys assistant, is a fiery and animated coach who motivates all the players. “He’s a great coach. I love coach Grantham,” Murray said. “He has some fire to him. I think the guys love it. I love it, personally. When he’s yelling and going crazy he gets the offense pumped up. He gets me pumped up to see him getting after the defense making sure they’re ready to go. I think that’s his mentality and he does a tremendous job of getting guys pumped up and ready to go.”

PASS IT ON: Catawba ran the ball so effectively on Saturday it relied on the pass less than usual. Patrick Dennis still threw for 146 yards, including a 60-yard home run on a post to Gerron Bryant. Nate Charest, Brandon Bunn and Eric Morman contributed three catches each. Teams have really paid a lot of attention to Bunn since his recordbreaking game at MORMAN Wingate. Dennis has thrown for 4,625 yards. He moved past Ken Avent (4,618) for sixth on the school’s all-time list Saturday.

You have to be careful. That’s another great player that’s added back to the mix.” Burney was one of 13 players who missed the opener against LSU as the NCAA looked into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct. He became the fifth from that group to return to game action for the Tar Heels, while a sixth — tailback Ryan Houston — has been cleared to return but might redshirt. Three players were either dismissed from the team or declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA. The school also announced

Brown, Gupton and Smith wouldn’t play this year without specifying why. The status of two other players remains in question. The NCAA said Burney received about $1,300 in improper benefits connected to trips to California, Atlanta and Las Vegas. The Atlanta and Las Vegas trips were linked to former North Carolina and Marshall player Chris Hawkins, whom the NCAA has said qualifies as an agent. Burney said he and Hawkins — both from the eastern half of the state — had been friends since before he came to Chapel Hill. He said Hawkins never pushed him to sign with an agent. Burney offered few details of the academic issue that cost him one game. He was scheduled to graduate in December, but must complete an additional class to complete his degree. He didn’t know if he’d take it next semester or postpone it as he prepared for the NFL draft, but said he promised his family he will graduate. “At that time, during everything, you never knew what was going to happen,” Burney said. “You just went through day by day and praying and hoping good things would come out.

Catawba wants respect Backs running to glory BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Running backs Josh Wright and Rashaun Gaither, who combined for 249 rushing yards, shared Catawba’s Offensive Player of the Week honor for their work in Saturday’s 38-28 SAC win at Mars Hill.

He entered the game GAITHER with 54 yards on the season, but he had his breakout performance included 97 yards on just six carries. “I think the coaches saw I was really into the game and I got more carries,” Gaither said. “Two runners are better than one. Josh and I did well going in and out.” Gaither’s big day included a 22-yard scoring romp. “We saw the overflow going to one side, so we had an audible that hit the other way,” Gaither explained. “The offensive line did a great job.” Gaither’s prep stats indicated he was capable of making an impact.

catawba coach chip Hester thinks his team isn’t getting enough respect. the national polls have yet to recognize the first-place indians.

Hester says there’s still plenty of motivation BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Catawba basically has been able to play the underdog card all season. Coach Chip Hester has gotten a ton of mileage from his team being picked seventh in the SAC preseason voting by the league’s coaches. Even when the Indians haven’t played particularly well, they’ve played exceptionally hard, and the result is a 6-2 record and a piece of

a three-way tie for first place in the league, along with preseason favorites Carson-Newman and Wingate. On paper, Catawba is at least a slight favorite for its final two regular-season games at home against Tusculum and on the road at Lenoir-Rhyne, but Hester isn’t about to accept that role. It’s been too much fun seeing guys play with a chip on their shoulder for two months. “Our approach the next two

weeks will be that Tusculum and Lenoir-Rhyne were both picked ahead of us,” Hester said. “There’s still plenty of motivation.” Catawba has at least convinced the computers that rely strictly on a statistical formula that it’s pretty good. The Indians were ranked third in the first regional poll that came out Monday and they were the highest-ranked team in the region that has two losses. Hester’s really getting good at this underdog stuff, however, so he

Struggling Clemson down, but not out Associated Press

CLEMSON S.C. — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is confident the Tigers can rebound this season, despite problems with a once-potent offense that’s now missing its most dynamic player in Andre Ellington. Ellington, the team’s leading rusher, strained ligaments in his foot in a 16-10 loss to Boston College and will likely be sidelined for at least two games. Plus Siwnney is also replacing once-reliable kicker Chandler Catanzaro after missing two field goals last week. Kyle Parker is coming off perhaps his poorest performance at Clemson quarterback. And now the Tigers (4-4, 2-3 ACC) must prepare for No. 23 North Carolina State (6-2, 3-1) on Saturday. “I’m very confident with where we are” in the longterm, Swinney said. “I ain’t happy worth a darn about being 4-4. (But) to me the glass is half full and always will be.” That’s because Swinney says his players haven’t pointed fingers or split apart during the struggles.

They’ve come to each workout, film session or meeting eager and prepared to get better. “There’s a lot of quitters out there, but not on this team,” Swinney said. There are plenty of questions to answer on offense. The most distressing thing for Clemson’s offense may have been Parker’s play. The sophomore has been a steady influence throughout the season, yet seemed to press at times against Boston College and forced throws that led to two crucial fourth-quarter interceptions. The play had Swinney fielding questions about Parker getting benched in favor of backup Tajh Boyd, a redshirt freshman. That’s not happening, the coach said. Parker has “given us a chance to win every week, but he didn’t play near to his capability against Boston College,” Swinney said. “So lets not make it more than it is.” “It was a situation of me just trying to force the ball in there,” Parker said. “I’ve got to make smarter decisions.”

had to be thrilled when the new American Football Coaches Association Division II poll was released. Not only was Catawba not listed in the Top 25 nationally, it wasn’t one of the 15 teams in the “others receiving votes” category. Wingate and Shaw, two teams Catawba beat, did get votes, so the Indians aren’t likely to start feeling satisfied anytime soon. “We’ll still have a lot to prove as long as there’s football being played,” Hester said.

Coach seen giving choke sign to Florida’s kicker Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia coach Mark Richt said Tuesday assistant Todd Grantham was caught up in the emotions of an overtime game when he gave a choke sign to Florida kicker Chas Henry. A television snapshot from Sun Sports in Florida shows Grantham, Georgia’s defensive coordinator, with one hand on his throat as Henry lined up for his winning field goal in the Gators’ 34-31 win on Saturday. Replays show

Grantham making the choke sign four times during a Georgia timeout before Henry’s 37-yard kick. “I’m aware of it and I’ll just say that emotions run high and people do things that they probably wish they didn’t do,” Richt said at his weekly news conference. “I think that was what was being communicated.

CHAPEL HILL— Kendric Burney is back just in time for North Carolina. The senior cornerback missed the seven games due to the ongoing NCAA investigation here before playing last weekend. His return once seemed like a bonus for a team that had lived through mistakes from young players thrown into the lineup, but the Tar Heels are short-handed in the secondary after losing a cornerback to a season-ending injury while two others are banged up heading into this weekend’s trip to No. 24 Florida State. “It’s definitely a little concern because of the fact (the depth) is not there,” Burney said. “But I feel like the guys that are still here will be able to make some plays and do what we need to do to win the game.” The NCAA suspended Burney for six games for receiving improper benefits connected to trips. He missed another game due to a lingering academic issue before returning against

William & Mary. But as Burney returned, redshirt freshman Terry Shankle suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Fellow cornerbacks Tre Boston (ankle) and Mywan Jackson (groin) were already out with injuries and it’s unclear whether they’ll play against Christian Ponder and the Seminoles. That’s in addition to the fact starting cornerback Charles Brown and reserve safeties Brian Gupton and Jonathan Smith are all out for the year due to the NCAA probe. Coach Butch Davis said Burney put in extra work on his conditioning after practices while he was suspended, but he’s still getting into game shape. “He’s a really good athlete,” Davis said. “He studies film, he does a lot of the right stuff. He’ll get back into the flow. He was a little disappointed with some of the performance he had (last week). He guessed on a couple of routes from time to time, and some of his mechanics and fundamentals

Cran-Raspberry pie is an easy fruit pie with a beautiful deep-red filling.

mmm....PIE

It’s not too early to start thinking about how to top off your Thanksgiving meal BY KATIE SCARVEY

Cran-Raspberry Pie

kscarvey@salisburypost.com

grew up in a pie-happy home. My mother was known far and wide for her fruit pies. Blueberry, raspberry, apple, peach, blackberry, sour cherry: we had magnificent pies, unparalleled by any other local pastries — at least in my opinion. There was usually one sitting on the counter, with a knife conveniently left behind by the last person who had snacked on a wee sliver (or a “snibble,” as we called it). I’ll confess that pie-baking at my house occurs about as frequently as vacuuming the corners for cobwebs, but at Thanksgiving, we try to give the oven a workout. We bake the old faithful pumpkin and pecan pies and serve them with real whipped cream. Since it’s already November, it’s definitely not too soon to start planning what to offer everybody when they stumble into the kitchen after their post-turkey nap. This year, I’m thinking of adding some new pies to the Thanksgiving rotation, so I reserved an afternoon this week to try four new pies, plus take another shot at a family favorite that I have not yet mastered. My favorite of the new pies was the Cran-Raspberry. This dessert lets you take advantage of the seasonal availability of tart, fresh cranberries. The beautiful deep red of the berries gives this pie a beautifully festive look. Except for the almond extract, which I didn’t have, I followed this recipe as written, but I’m pretty confident you could reduce the sugar by at least a quarter cup and still have enough sweetness to counterbalance the zing of the cranberries.

2 C. chopped fresh or frozen cranberries (I used a food processor and pulsed with a very light hand) 1 (12 ounce) package frozen raspberries 1 1/2 C. sugar 2 Tbs. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. almond extract (can be omitted) 1/4 tsp. salt 1 pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

In a bowl, gently stir cranberries, raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, extract and salt. Line pie plate with bottom pastry; add filling. Top with pastry. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 35-40 minutes more or until bubbly.

in a creamy lemon sauce. I don’t know how to explain it, but nuts would detract from the comforting quality. I haven’t made this pie much, mostly because it involves dragging out a double boiler — but also because my version never tastes as good as my mother’s. When I recently requested the recipe again from her — it was originally my grandma’s recipe — she told me she’d just made it for my brother’s birthday. It was the only thing he asked for. Apparently, I am not the only one in my family who loved this pie as a child.

After the first 10 minutes, you will probably need to tent some strips of aluminum foil loosely over the edges so that the crust doesn’t get too brown.

Don’t be afraid to make your own pie crust BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

ots of otherwise good cooks are intimidated by making pie crust. While it may take some practice to make a photoworthy pastry crust that boasts a perfectly crimped edge (I’m not there yet), it’s not difficult to make a decent-looking pie crust that tastes great. And stacked against a frozen pie shell, even a mediocre homemade pie crust will win a taste test. Fortunately, pie crust ingredients — flour and shortening — are inexpensive, so practicing won’t bust your food budget. Some people prefer butter, which I will admit makes a somewhat tastier pastry, but shortening is easier to work with. As with biscuits, a light touch works best with pie crusts. For best results, don’t overwork the dough.

Pie crust (double) 3/4 C. shortening 2 1/4 C. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 4 1/2 Tbs. ice water

Mix flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut shortening into the flour with a pastry cutter, until the mixture has the texture of small peas. Add the ice water and combine with a fork. Don’t overwork. (You may think you need more water, but you don’t.) Gather the dough into a ball and divide in two. Take half and flatten into a disk. (At this point, some bakers like to refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or so.) Lightly flour the surface where you’ll be rolling out the dough. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough before rolling it out with a lightly floured rolling pin. Put some flour on a rolling pin and roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, forming a rough circle a little larger than your pie pan. Carefully transfer the crust into an ungreased 9-inch regular or deep dish pie plate. If it

tears a bit, don’t worry; you can press the edges back together. If you simply need a pie shell, then trim off most of the excess around the edges, leaving enough to make a crimped edge by pinching the dough with your fingers. Repeat with the other half of the dough. If you're making a two-crust pie, roll out the remaining hunk of dough as you did the first one. After your pie is filled, carefully transfer rolled-out crust on top of it and seal the edges by crimping the dough with your fingers. If you’re feeling creative, you can roll out any remaining bits of dough and cut out some pretty shapes with which to decorate the top of the pie. Before baking, cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Unique drying racks. After picking the last tomatoes of the season, I bring my tomato cages indoors to use. I turn them upside down and use them as dryer racks for small items. This cuts down on running the clothes dryer. — Elaine, Pennsylvania

Minty fresh non-smoker. I just recently managed to quit smoking after 30 years. Most of the time, I smoked full flavor menthol cigarettes, which made it even harder to quit. I learned, quite by accident, that if I held a peppermint hard candy in my mouth and took several deep breaths with my mouth open, I could get past that screaming need for a cigarette right then and there. — Karen, Texas

Plastic bag arm protectors. I save the plastic bags that my newspaper comes in to use as protection when pulling poison ivy. I put my hands into the bags, and they come up to my elbows. Even if the plant is large, it doesn’t touch my skin. Then I grab the top of the bag and pull it down off my arm (inside out), encasing the plant in it. Poison ivy removal is a cinch using this method -and no harmful chemical sprays to deal with, either! — Mary, Tennessee

D.I.Y. use-by date. When I purchase canned food on sale, I write the use-by date on the label with a permanent marker. That way, I am sure to use it before that date because I can clearly see what it is. Because I purchase canned food only when it is on sale, I buy large quantities. This helps me to stay organized.

SALISBURY POST

When revolted by reading, just assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gag Dear Amy: Last year for my birthday my father-in-law gave me a subscription to The Wall Street Journal. I kindly thanked him for the gift, even though I very often disagree with the opinions expressed in this newspaper. I am a liberal. And my father-in-law knows it. That is why he sub- ASK scribed to such AMY a conservative newspaper for me. This is not his lone attempt to change my wife and me into adopting his (extreme) rightwing views. Many years ago he offered to give my wife a subscription to the National Review! Amy, my wife and I (we are in our 30s) seldom read this right-wing propaganda. At most we glance at it and feel disgusted by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written in it. My birthday is coming up soon, and I feel he expects me to start paying for the Journal subscription he gave me last year. Should I tell him that I will not or do not wish him to renew my subscription? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sickened Son-in-law Dear Sickened: If all you see in The Wall Street Journal is the newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative editorial page, then you are missing some snappy, informative and fabulous feature writing, and some great business coverage. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unfortunate that you find ideas in opposition to your own â&#x20AC;&#x153;disgusting.â&#x20AC;? Learning the views of the other side could provide nuance to your own position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least enable you to better know your enemy. All the same, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to continue to receive this publication, then you should let the subscription lapse (this is an expensive gift, by the way). You should also consider the possibility that your fatherin-law is trying to bait you. Perhaps you two should assume this is a well-intentioned (if misguided) family gag. If your father-in-law automatically renews this subscription, you can thank him quite sincerely by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. And did you receive the gift subscription to The Nation I ordered for you? It comes with an autographed photo of Al Franken.â&#x20AC;? Game on!

Dear Amy: A close relative is undergoing foreclosure. After years of being fiscally irresponsible, she has come to us for money. We love and care about her. She is in her 50s with no job, little ambition and few prospects. Her wealthy parents enabled this behavior all her life, and now she is turning to us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked hard and have been fiscally responsible for almost 20 years. My husband has proposed that we give her a monthly stipend for one year to help her get back on her feet. I want to help, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to give her my advice and opinions. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain both would be most unwelcome. My husband and I both work full time and have done well, but we have bills and taxes and grade-school-age children weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to send to college. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost certain she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle this money well. It is also clear that doing nothing is not an option. So how do I let go of the money without harboring bad feelings? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want my marriage to suffer. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Worried Wife Dear wife: This relative is holding your marriage hostage to her personal debt crisis. You could respond by negotiating down the amount your family will contribute, and give the money to her accompanied by an expression of your frustration, as well as your advice. Your relative is enlisting you and your husband as investors in her life. As such, you should have a say in how she uses your money. I suggest you state a certain deadline and make your support contingent on her successfully completing job training and financial counseling. Dear Amy: You responded to a letter about a woman who bragged about her kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and her kids bragged about themselves. I have a very intelligent son. When he acts in an arrogant manner, I point out to him that given the choice most people would rather be friends with the nicest person in the world, not the smartest. For some kids, being smart is easy, but being nice is hard. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; AC in PA

Creating a Thanksgiving table Scripps Howard News Service

Raise your hand if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever bitten off more than you can chew at Thanksgiving. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about that second helping of pumpkin pie. I mean spending hours decorating your home, then cooking up the perfect Norman Rockwell feast for a house full of guests. Sometimes, we work so hard that the thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most thankful for at the end of the day is the chance to put up our poor aching feet. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any time-saving tips on the meal. But I can pass on a few pointers for creating a beautiful Thanksgiving table in minutes. First, set your table so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know how much space youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have for a centerpiece. Then start designing. Stay centered. The queen of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;photo finish,â&#x20AC;? I am often tossing together my table as my guests are walking in the door. One year, I grabbed a beautiful bowl from my china hutch and filled it with red pears I found in the fridge. The thrown-together display looked sensational â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simple, but lovely. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be tight on time, go simple. Grab a garden urn, add some fall foliage and a handful of faux gourds, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be good to go. Place a row of different glass compotes, filled with fresh grapes, down the center of your table. Or take it up a notch, inserting pillar candles in the center of the compotes, then filling in the space with fruits or nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anything from the produce aisle that looks lovely and your guests will enjoy nibbling. Or, pick up a few inexpensive bouquets of roses or as-

sorted fall flowers. Trim the stems very short. Arrange the flowers in compact bouquets in five to seven cordial glasses, again marching them down the table. Want something more rustic? Fill a beautiful vase with branches of faux foliage. My decorating dynamo of choice is the cloche. Put any item under a cloche, and it goes from ho-hum to majestic. Put a fall wreath on a cake plate, encircling a ceramic pitcher. Add a bold buffalocheck napkin and cloche-covered gourd to give white plates a distinctive Thanksgiving feel. You can punch up each place setting. I sometimes substitute trays for placemats because I like how they unify elements. We started with a black tray and mixed up our dishes, using everyday white and holiday-themed green plates and amber glassware. We finished the look with brown linen napkins and a little gourd nestled in the soup bowl. Or, juxtapose formal and informal items, basing place settings on a rustic wire tray. Top each with white stoneware and blue-and-white transferware plates. The orange pumpkin adds a kick of color. Or start with a decorative chalkboard as a placemat. A crisp white napkin rests on the dishes and hangs down the side of the table. The show stealer is the gilded pumpkin sitting on a bed of straw under a cloche. Cloches not your thing? Start with a wicker tray, then layer white dishes and holiday-themed plates. Top it off with a sorbet cup holding a gourd; you might tuck in a few fall leaves for fun. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; See Mary Carol Garrityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog at www.nellhills.com.

Earlier column on vitamin D needs some clarification Dear Dr. Gott: I read about how much vitamin D to take from your Sept. 30 column. In the information about research on D, you state it is linked to thyroid disorders, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, heart failure and colon cancer, among other things. I have read vitamin D fights off these disorders, not contribute to them. Was this a misprint? Dear feader: DR. PETER In essence, yes, it was. GOTT The article should have indicated, “As research unfolds and theories are validated, deficiency is thought to be linked to thyroid disorders ...” The word “deficiency” did not appear in print. I spoke of insufficient amounts of D at the beginning of the paragraph, but the way the information appeared would lead a person to think just as you did. Thank you for pointing this out. It’s readers like you who keep me on my toes, and I'm grateful you took the time to write. Dear Dr. Gott: You recently wrote about lichen planus and gold as a risk factor. I’ve had lichen planus for more than five years, and you are the only reference I’ve encountered that claims gold could be a problem. I have two gold bridges and two gold caps. Could these be contributing

factors? Dear feader: This inflammatory condition can affect skin and mucous membranes. When on the skin, it resembles raised, flat bumps or lesions that are itchy and somewhat purple in color. They can crust or scab, resembling poison ivy or other forms of plant dermatitis. When mucus membranes of the mouth are affected, white patches that resemble lace can appear and be quite painful. Lichen planus occurs when the immune system attacks the cells of the skin or mucus membranes. As I previously reported, triggers can include allergens, tattoo pigments, specific medications for hypertension, arthritis or heart disease, and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen. One source of information for the gold connection I reported on is Medline Plus, which states that risks include “exposure to medications, dyes and other chemical substances (including gold, antibiotics, arsenic, iodides, chloroquine, quinacrine, quinide, phenothiazines and diuretics).” Furthermore, an Oct. 1, 2010, New York Times article indicated a risk of lichen planus from gold. There have been reports of gold caps causing the breakout, but I cannot find sufficient legitimate documentation to support this. Therefore, I suggest you return to your dentist for his or her opinion. Dear Dr. Gott: I have fingernails with horizontal ripples

and lines, and they are concave. Any ideas? I’ve been to several doctors who couldn’t help me. Dear reader: There are a number of reasons why fingernails become ridged or concave. They include injury, extensive exposure to moisture or nail polish, fungus and bacterial infection, kidney or liver disease and various other possibilities. Depressions across the fingernail and horizontal ridging are known as Beau’s lines, which can occur following illness, malnourishment or direct injury to the nail. Horizontal ridges might also be an indication of diabetes. Those that curve inward may be associated with iron-deficiency anemia. Vertical ridges that extend from the cuticle to the tip of the nail are common and can occur with advancing age. Speak with your physician. Ask whether laboratory testing is appropriate. If no abnormalities are found and you don’t have other symptoms, you will at least have some peace of mind. If something is discovered, follow through on his or her recommendations. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including "Live Longer, Live Better," "Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet" and "Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook," which are available at most bookstores or online.

Wednesday, Nov. 3 Your skills for managing or supervising things for others will be vastly improved and extensively utilized in the coming days. Additionally, this development will greatly advance your own personal interests as well. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Being the intense person you are, you can sometimes get overly concerned about achieving what is important to you. Don’t let any negative thoughts dominate your life. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Until you’re sure that a misunderstanding you had with a friend is totally gone from his/her mind, it may not be too smart to confide in your pal about anything sensitive. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t be too demanding of yourself, because it is likely that some kind of self-created obstacle is still preventing you from completely doing what you want. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you find yourself facing a similar situation you faced once before, stop and think about how it turned out. Make adjustments as to what went wrong, and you won’t repeat any mistakes. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Financial matters should not be treated indifferently at this juncture. Make sure you move cautiously and prudently in order to make certain all of your efforts are founded upon logical assumptions. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Even if it isn’t easy to do, if a friend who has always been there for you asks for help, make the time. It may be your one opportunity to even the score. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Be careful what you ask for because you might get it, but at a very hefty price tag. It generally can be a mistake to fulfill one ambition at the expense of another. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Put on your best smile if you find yourself faced with meeting a rather influential group of people, some of whom could provide valuable new social contacts. One among them might be special. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Get as many family members together as you can, and try to resolve a long-standing problem that periodically pops up. Conditions are favorable for finding that sought after answer. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Think before opening your mouth, because if you’re not careful you could blatantly express yourself in an offensive manner and not be able to convince others that it wasn’t intended. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you are in the market for purchasing something big, use your common sense regarding what you truly can afford. Base your ability to acquire it on what you have, not on what you hope to get. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t get discouraged if something you’ve been hoping to accomplish is much more difficult than you had anticipated. Regroup your forces and repeat the procedures until you’re victorious. — United FeatUre Syndicate, inc.

Could it really be as easy as it seemed? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

A.N. Onymous said, “It’s easy to stop making mistakes. Just stop having ideas.” This column emanated from an idea I had about yesterday’s deal. In that column, West had a singleton diamond king. South, in three notrump, took the first trick with dummy’s club queen and ran the diamond 10. This cost the contract because when West shifted to a spade, declarer had to win with dummy’s ace (else East would win the trick and return a club for down two) and take a second diamond finesse. This worked, but West discarded, leaving South with only seven tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and one club.

The winning play was a low diamond to the eight, nine or jack on the first round of the suit. Then, when in the dummy with the spade ace, declarer could have run the diamond 10, staying in the dummy to take a third finesse in the suit. I started to wonder about this layout. Suppose, after leading a low diamond to the jack, West — the genius — played low. (Since he expects South to repeat the finesse, this would usually be the best play.) How should declarer continue now? In the auction, three clubs is artificial, asking opener if he has three spades. South must guess. If East started with honor-doubleton, declarer must cash the diamond ace and play another diamond. But if West has king-

Dern-Ladd family honored with star LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a family affair Monday for Laura Dern, her father Bruce Dern and mother Diane Ladd. The acting dynasty was honored during a ceremony along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking the first time three stars were dedicated to family members at the same time. The pink terrazzo stars were unveiled alongside each other outside the W Hotel Hollywood along Hollywood Boulevard. “I ask the universe that these three stars right here

— when I’m dead and gone or if I’m still alive — that whoever comes and looks at it or stands on it, may the energy of the three of our lives permeate into their foundation and help each and every one fulfill their destiny with joy and love, as I wish for you,” the 74-year-old Ladd told the crowd. Laura Dern, who has starred in such films as “Jurassic Park” and “October Sky,” was born in 1967 to Bruce Dern and Ladd, who were married for nine years and have both remarried.

doubleton, South must continue with a low diamond. Finally, if West has queendoubleton, the contract can no longer be made — declarer had to run the diamond 10 at trick two! Nothing is as easy as it seems.
