Matthew Licata, 9, found a ‘Star Wars’ book in the children’s section at the friends of Rowan Public Library book sale Saturday. He is a student at Millbridge Elementary.
In these tight budget days for library, it’s good to have ‘Friends’ BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
For $9 Saturday, Anne Chase left the annual Friends of Rowan Public Library sale with five books. A steal. Or maybe, a Steele. Several of the books were from one of her favorite authors, Danielle Steele. “I saw gazillions I wanted, but five (will do),” Chase said. She and her daughter, Wendy, were the book sale’s first customers Saturday morning as scores of people filled two large rooms and a hallway sifting through thousands of donated hardcov-
ers, paperbacks, audio and videotapes, CDs, DVDs and albums. The prices were awesome — $2 for fiction and non-fiction hardcovers, $1 for paperbacks and $1 for children’s books. In the Hurley Room, special interest books dealing with things such as history, travel, gardening, cooking, religion and crafts were individually priced, along with albums and other media. But again, the prices were low — and “all our money goes to activities for the library,” said Pat Beck, who headed this
A former Salisbury city planner and a new 12member advisory committee will lead the effort to complete the city’s first Historic Preservation Master Plan. The city has hired Aaron Arnett as a consultant to oversee the plan. Arnett worked as a senior planner for Salisbury 10 years ago. “He has the familiarity and experience to hit the ground running,” City Planner Janet Gapen said. Principal for the Greenville, S.C., firm Arnett Muldrow & Associates, Arnett specializes in downtown and community planning, with an emphasis on historic preservation and economic development. With a $15,000 federal grant and $8,000 in local matching funds, the city has $23,000 to pay Arnett and cover expenses, Gapen said. She said Arnett is familiar with the city’s many historic districts but also the undesignated areas of the city that could be identified as historic — one of the plan’s goals. In past work for Salisbury, Arnett’s firm completed a design stylebook of the Jersey City neighborhood that serves as a guide for in-fill construction. His firm also created the city’s current logo. Contacted by the Post last week, Arnett said he is excited about the master plan. He and his wife were leaving the hospital with a new baby, and he could not complete an interview at the time. The city received so many qualified applicants for the advisory committee that City Council voted to expand the nine-member group to 12 and take everyone. Members include Randy Reamer, Gwen Matthews, Doug Black, Anne Lyles, Greg Shields, James Carley, Debbie Lesley, Deedee Wright, Gray Stout, Jason Walser, Chris McNeely and Diane Dillon Hooper. They represent a variety of neighborhoods and occupations, as well as both Historic Salisbury Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy group, and the Historic Preservation Commission, a municipal regulatory

Suspects arrested in break-ins Man, woman face felony charges in East Spencer; 2 others held in Charlotte EAST SPENCER — East Spencer Police Chief Floyd Baldo said his department got the break it needed Friday night in apprehending members of a break-in ring targeting the homes of senior citizens in the town.
JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST
East Spencer Police arrested Charles Emmanuel “Bam” Johnson, 23, of Salisbury and Treasure Gwyn, 24, of East Spencer and charged each with felony breaking, entering and larceny and felony breaking and entering. They also face charges of larceny after breaking and entering; felony possession of stolen property, misdemeanor possession of stolen property, marijuana possession and possession of drug para-
phernalia. Baldo said his department’s arrests came after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police apprehended Carlito “Galla” Garcia, 18, and Reginald “Ghost” Petion, 22. Both men were suspects in the East Spencer break-in ring, Baldo said. No addresses were given for Garcia and Petion. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police

‘Can Do’ food drive going on until Thanksgiving
Students’ efforts pay off in getting RCCC bonds passed
It’s cold. Unemployment is in the double digits, and some families struggle to put food on the table. Could the Salisbury Post do something to connect people in need with people who can help? Can do. Today we’re launching the Salisbury Post “Can Do” Food Drive. The Post is inviting readers to drop off canned goods and other nonperishable food in our lobby at 131 W. Innes St. between now and Thanksgiving. Post staff members will deliver the food to Rowan Helping Ministries and the Salvation Army. Over the next two and a half weeks, we hope to collect enough food to ensure that any eligible person turning to these agencies for food between now and

Student Elena Miles spent countless hours telling people about how the $12 million bond package for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s North Campus would benefit students. She joined Board of Trustees members to spread the word to local civics groups, gave up her Fridays to educate residents during Downtown Salisbury Inc.’s Nights Out, handed out fliers on campus and placed yard signs across Rowan County.

“It’s worth it,” Miles said. “I’d do it all again if I had to.” The bond initiative passed by a 9 percent margin Tuesday, receiving 18,119 “yes” votes, according to unofficial results from the Rowan County Board of Elections. The $12 million package for capital improvements and projects includes $3 million for campus accessibility improvements, $6.7 million for additions and renovations and $2.3 million to relocate and expand the fire training grounds.

Thanksgiving goes away with a full bag. Among the items most needed are: • Dry food, bagged or boxed • Dry or bagged beans • Canned meats (ravioli, spaghetti sauce, etc.) • Canned fish (tuna, etc.) • Peanut butter • Jelly Those are the greatest needs. Canned fruits and vegetables are also welcome. The Post has the advantage of a central location and a large megaphone, figuratively speaking. We’d like to put those to use to help others as we head into the Thanksgiving and the Christmas season. You can drop off your donations in the Post lobby between 8

We’re running the “Can Do” Food Drive through Wednesday, Nov. 24, but we will turn food over to the agencies as our cannisters fill up. So, if you’re downtown shopping or doing business — or just passing through — we hope you’ll come by and make a food donation. Thank you in advance for any food you can share.

HISTORIC FROM 1a body. The committee will help guide Arnett, Gapen said. “They will make sure the plan is comprehensive,” she said. The city’s biggest challenge will be obtaining participation from neighborhoods that aren’t designated as historic, she said. “The plan is to encompass the entire city jurisdiction,” she said. The grant has an ambitious deadline of August 2011. The final draft will go to the State Historic Preservation Office and eventually to City Council for implementation. The process includes several opportunities for public input. Nov. 29 and 30, Arnett will conduct two days of inter-

A public workshop at 6 p.m. Nov. 30 will be open to anyone. In December, Arnett will do field work in Salisbury. In February or March, he will present an assessment during a public forum. Residents can give feedback, see emerging themes and consider how the framework for the master plan is developing, Gapen said.
SALISBURY POST
CONTINUED From there, Arnett will draft the plan. In the summer of 2011, he will present the proposed final version, likely to the advisory committee, Salisbury Planning and city Historic Preservation Committee, another opportunity for public comment. Throughout the process, residents may comment online on a moderated forum that Arnett will launch in early 2011, Gapen said. The master plan will consider how well historic preservation efforts are working and what can make them better, Gapen said. The plan will include action items for implementation and identify key contacts or agencies that would be responsible for each, she said. Cary recently completed a similar master plan, and New Bern received the same grant as Salisbury. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

Two killed in Concord accident
FROM 1a
CONCORD — Two people were killed in a one-vehicle accident Saturday evening on Zion Church Road at N.C. 49. The N.C. Highway Patrol investigated and had not released the names of the victims by presstime Saturday night. Zion Church Road was closed for a lengthy period after the accident, which occurred close to 7 p.m. No other injuries were reported. The crash scene is not far from Central Cabarrus High School.
arrested them for breaking into an elderly couple’s residence in Charlotte on Thursday. They were driving a vehicle traced back to two apartments at 200 Grant St., East Spencer. Baldo said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police “notified us of their arrests and opened the door to the B&E ring targeting East Spencer senior citizens.” “This was the break we were looking for,” Baldo said. On Friday, Baldo searched the two Grant Street apartments linked to Garcia and Petion. He said he located stolen property from three separate break-ins in the Pine Tree Drive area of East Spencer. Johnson also was identified
as one of the suspects running from a break-in and was found in possession of stolen property with Gwyn, his girlfriend, according to Baldo. Baldo received help in the case from Rowan County Sheriff’s Deputy Wesley Smith and his K-9. With the help of $1,100 in donations from two East Spencer residents, East Spencer Police were offering a reward of $1,350 for information leading to a conviction in the case. Baldo said he expects more arrests in this case. “Leads are continuing to come in,” he said. Johnson was placed in custody at the Rowan County Detention Center under $7,500 secured bond. Gwyn received a $1,000 secured bond. Garcia and Petion are in custody in Mecklenburg County.

Airport marks 80 years The Rowan County Airport will observe its 80th birthday Thursday in a celebration tied to Veterans Day. The celebration is open to the public. If weather permits, vintage aircraft and cars will be on display at the airport, starting at 3 p.m., and Larry Macon of the Rowan County Airport will perform aerobatics in his red Pitts Special. Rowan County Commissioner Carl Ford will give opening remarks for the main program at 5:30 p.m. A color guard will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and all veterans attending will be acknowledged. The program will include three speakers: Howard Miller of Miller Airpark and a longtime friend of Rowan County Airport; Harold Mills, author of “Hangar Sweepings,” a book about the early history of the airport; and Carl Sloop, a retired Rowan County employee credited with expanding the airport. “These men have a special connection with Rowan County Airport and will share their stories with the audience,” Director Thad Howell said. Howell said the airport has played a vital role in the county’s history through general aviation, the military and business. After the main program, several local businesses have donated items for door prizes, including free dinners at Uncle Buck’s, Domino’s Pizza and Rick’s Barbecue; a gift basket from Patterson Farm; a plane ride from the Alpha One Flight School; tickets to Tinsel Town and the Meroney Theater; and homemade gift baskets.

When Lillian Gascoigne was a child, she and her mother, Martha, spent hours browsing through antiques at the annual Salisbury Antique Show and Sale. “I just loved the beautiful things,” she said from her home, surrounded by the beautiful items she has collected through the years. Gascoigne’s grandmother would join the rest of the family and they would make a day of browsing through the vendors’ antique books and other artwork. When the family attended the show it was housed in the National Guard Armory. “It was so much fun. It was like a party,” Gascoigne said, reminiscing. Next weekend, Gascoigne will have her own antique items on display at this year’s 57th anLILLIAN GASCOIGNE nual show. The antique dealer show will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The cost is $5.50 in advance and $6 at the door. A preview dinner and silent auction will be held before the show opens. The preview dinner will be 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Tickets for the preview dinner are $85 and can be purchased at the Rowan Museum, 202 N. Main St. The show supports the Rowan Museum, Utzman-Chambers House and the Old Stone House. Nineteen dealers will be at this year’s show, five of whom are from Salisbury. Gascoigne, who is one of the dealers, will have some portraits, leatherbound books, porcelain items and ivory figurines. She owns a shop, Lillian’s Library and Antiques. She obtains many of her pieces from estate sales. “I look for things that are well made with a certain sense of detail,” she said.

Larry Neal, chief of museum services and education, is working on a photographic book on the history of Spencer Shops, the town of Spencer and East Spencer.

The museum is asking residents of Rowan County to check through their photos for relevant images. “We’re seeking previously unpublished photos of Spencer Shops with a large section of the book focusing on the employees and townspeople, which is something that hasn’t been done previously,” Neal said. Due to publication guidelines, the museum requests that original pho-
tographs be brought to the museum for scanning. Original prints are preferred over computergenerated prints to ensure the best publishing quality. Information on photographs such as location, date and names of individuals are also needed, if available.

KANNAPOLIS — A student at North Carolina State University student was honored Thursday during the 8th annual Cabarrus and Rowan County Friends of Girl Scouting Award Luncheon. Alyssa D’Addezio was recognized for earning her Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting, which requires a multi-year commitment to community service and development. D’Addezio’s project, Kids Being Kids, involved tutoring 15 children from the Hispanic after-school program at Forest Hill United Methodist Church. She focused on subjects such as math and English to help bridge the language barrier. With the help of her friends and family, she was able to help every child receive straight As on their report cards. “We are so proud of Alyssa for all she has accomplished so far in her life,” said Sally Daley, CEO of Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council. “She is an example to all of us of what we can accomplish through hard work and dedication.” D’Addezio was selected from a pool of Gold-Award recipients who earned their awards within the past 10 years and have gone on to make an impact on their community. A 2010 graduate of Northwest Cabarrus High School, D’Addezio is a Park Scholar. D’Addezio is proud of her Girl Scout experience. She credits experience in the Girl Scouts for teaching her what it means to give back to her community and gain respect.

King completes Marine basic training Pfc. Noah Turner King, son of Jackie King, recently completed basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C. King successfully completed 12 weeks of training designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. In addition to the physical conditioning program, recruits spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments, which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training.

man badge. He also received instructions on the Marine Corps' core values h o n o r , courage and commitKING ment, and the what words mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Along with fellow recruits he ended the training phase with the Crucible, a 54-hour team effort and problem-solving evolution. After graduation from Parris Island, he will be stationed at Camp Lejeune for 4 weeks of combat training. He will begin additional training at Camp Geiger.

GREENSBORO — The Northwest Chapter of the N.C. Credit Union League has named Kelli Fisher as Volunteer Person of the Year. Fisher’s award was announced by the chapter at its celebration of International Credit Union Day on Oct. 21. Unlike many winners of such an award, Kelli does not have a long track record of volunteering, but she’s only 13 and an eighth-grade student at Erwin Middle School. What she lacks in volunteer time she makes up for in commitment to serving others and helping out at events at Lion’s Share Federal Credit Union. The Northwest Chapter, which is made up of about a dozen credit unions, created the award to call attention to the efforts of unsung heroes in local credit unions who volunteer their time to serve credit unions and their members. “Kelli has been volunteering at credit union events for three years now, and she always does it with a glad heart,” said her moth-
er, Misty Fisher, who accepted the award on Kelli’s behalf in Winston-Salem. Kelli has assisted on a variety of credit union projects over the years, including the grand opening of the new Lion’s Share headquarters FISHER location in Salisbury in 2008. She also assists with set up and clean up at the credit union’s annual meeting each year. Kelli has also pitched in with local site visits and helped the credit union share
information about the products and services that can benefit the Food Lion Associates it serves. Kelli also pitches in at many other events, including the credit union’s annual picnic. In addition to her volunteer service to the credit union, Kelli gives her time to support the Relay for Life. She also plays basketball, loves horseback riding and is involved with the youth group at Calvary Baptist Tabernacle. Misty Fisher said that one of her proudest moments as a parent came when Kelli said to her, “It feels really good to make people happy, doesn’t it?”

Shenandoah kicks off anniversary celebration
Chicken Barbecue Saturday November 13th
AFTON, Va. (AP) — Shenandoah National Park is kicking off a yearlong celebration for its 75th anniversary. Officials launched the campaign on Friday at a ceremony at McCormick Gap Overlook in Afton. The park turns 75 next year. Shenandoah National Park follows the Blue Ridge from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap. The park was once private property, and many property owners opposed the idea of their homes being seized to make a national park. Officials say the land had been heavily marked by human activity before it was seized to create the park. Nature has healed much of the damage over time.

CHARLOTTE — After a two-day symposium designed to give minority males the resources and tools necessary to be successful, it was time to tend to other business — the business of football. The Livingstone College Blue Bears and the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls squared off in Memorial Stadium on Saturday to compete in the Second Annual Commemorative Classic. Livingstone and JCSU have the distinction of being the first teams to play in an organized black college football game. That historic contest took place in the snow at Livingstone College on Dec. 27, 1892, and JCSU won 5-0. Many more points were scored during Saturday’s contest, with Johnson C. Smith winning 26-13. Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr. and Johnson C. Smith University President Dr. Ronald L. Carter stood behind the end zone talking and enjoying the game. Carter danced a little as the Golden Bulls’ band performed, and the way both men moved about as players on their respective teams made dazzling plays, it appeared they wanted to suit up and step onto the gridiron themselves. But as much as they enjoyed the game, both presidents enjoyed the two-day symposium, “Black/Minority Males Taking Flight through Personal Development, Knowledge Sharing and Commitment to Community,” much more. “The symposium far exceeded our expectations, both in terms of the number of students who attended and the messages they received,” Jenkins said. “Our goal wasn’t to show that we could attract talented panelists from throughout the country, though we did, but instead to make available to the young people those individuals who have defied the odds and done what is necessary to be successful. “If we don’t help our young people and teach them what they need to know to excel in school, graduate and assume their rightful place in today’s global society, we will not have lived up to the charge that was mandated by the visionaries who organized that historic game back in 1892,” Jenkins continued. “If we do not help our young people, we will have failed, and neither Dr. Carter nor I accept failure.” Carter, who has been at Johnson C. Smith for nearly three years, said he expects the symposium to become a huge event that people from throughout the country – not just those attending HBCUs – clamor to attend. “Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University will continue this effort as well as reach out to other colleges and universities to join us in this very important initiative,” Carter said. “We want everyone to understand that what we’re doing now will have a far-reaching impact on this country. Studies have shown that in year 2020, which is only a decade away, minorities will be the majority of students who are eligible to attend college. We need to ensure we have as many of our students in the educational pipeline as we can so that in the future the country will have highly educated and talented leaders. If we don’t do that, I believe in 2020 and beyond we will experience flashpoints ignited by very disgruntled young people.” Saturday’s contest was the culmination of The Commemorative Classic.

LIBRARY froM 1A year’s sale. “You know how bad things have been cut.” The “Friends” sale supports things such as programs, equipment purchases and employee scholarships that otherwise would fall victim to county budget restrictions. “They’ve been cut to the bone,” Beck said of the county’s libraries. The sale continues from 14 p.m. today at Rowan Public Library in Salisbury and from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday. Today, the books and other items left will be half price. On Monday, you can buy a plastic bag for $2 and fill it up with as many books as you want. Everything must go. What’s left over will be trucked away Tuesday — the same day Friends of the Library begins accepting tax-deductible donations of books for next fall’s annual sale. You may not realize it, Beck said, but the Friends sell the donated books year-round on the second floor reference section of the library. Another big money-raiser for the non-profit organization has been the gift baskets created by members. Those baskets, which are required to include at least one book, are displayed for sale at the Salisbury, East Rowan and South Rowan library branches. Shane Olsen brought his 9year-old nephew, Matthew Licata, to the sale, and among the books Matthew handed him were “The Borrowers” and “The Indian in the Cupboard,” both for $1 and both meeting the uncle’s approval. Olsen said the Friends sale — not to be confused with the Rowan Public Library’s own
Error in tally on Long Island may change outcome from election NEW YORK (AP) — A congressional election on eastern Long Island that had appeared to end in victory for a fourterm Democrat, U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop, is now up for grabs after authorities discovered they had misreported the result of the vote. Officials with the Suffolk County Board of Elections said they discovered Friday that the unofficial tally released in the hours after the polls closed was off by thousands. A routine check of voting machine memory cards showed that instead of leading by about 3,500 votes, Bishop was trailing Republican challenger Randy Altschuler by a little less than 400. Board of Elections commissioner Wayne Rogers said the original numbers were reported by telephone and relayed through intermediaries before being entered into the county’s computer system. “Somewhere within that process, some of these numbers must have been transcribed incorrectly,” he told the Associated Press on Saturday. About 9,000 absentee ballots cast in the 1st Congressional District race have yet to be counted. By law, they could be dropped in the mail until the day before the election, and counting is not expected to begin for days. Bishop spokesman Jon Schneider called for all ballots to be recounted by hand to confirm the accuracy of the tally. “At this point the only way to be sure of the accuracy of the count is to do a full hand recount of all the ballots,” he said in a statement. “Regardless of the outcome, Suffolk County residents need to have confidence in the integrity of the count.” Altschuler issued a statement saying the correction to the vote totals validated his decision not to concede the race on election night. “We were right!” he said, and offered another signal that the two sides will dig in for a fight over the remaining ballots. “We are working closely with the National Republican Congressional Committee to guarantee that we have the resources needed to ensure that every vote is accurately and fairly counted.” The Board of Elections has yet to release the new, accurate tallies.

GOP seeks cuts to pay for renewed jobless benefits
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is appealing to victorious Republicans to go along with his plan to extend tax cuts for the middle class, saying the election is over and it’s time to down to business. But it’s not fair, he says, to make permanent the Bush-era cuts for the wealthiest because that would require the U.S. to borrow $700 billion more to pay for it. “The campaign season is over,” the president said Saturday in his weekly radio and Obama’s long-standing position has been that individuals with incomes less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000 should continue to enjoy the tax cuts enacted during George W. Bush’s presidency but that those making more should return to the higher rates before Bush took office. The cuts are due to expire Dec. 31. Republicans said this week they strongly favor renewing all the Bush tax cuts, given the struggling economy.
nanced with deficit dollars. That’s a precedent Democrats refused to break when battling with Republicans for months earlier this year to extend the program through Nov. 30. Two Maine Republicans, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, broke with their party this summer to give Democrats the needed 60 votes to pass the most recent of several extensions, which adds more than $30 billion to the national debt. But newly elected Republican Mark Kirk of Illinois will be taking over Obama’s old Senate seat sometime during the lame-duck session, giving McConnell one more vote to block a debt-financed extension. The additional jobless benefits programs began in 2008 under President George W. Bush but were made more generous under last year’s economic recovery act. Jobless people are now eligible for up to 99 weeks of benefits in most states. The first 26 weeks of benefits are paid for by states. About 3.7 million are drawing them now. Democrats argue that the extended benefits should be paid for with deficit spending because it injects money into the economy. Jobless people immediately spend the cash, they explain.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Newly empowered Republicans want spending cuts of $5 billion to $6 billion a month as a condition for extending emergency unemployment benefits that are scheduled to expire next month for millions of Americans. Up to 2 million people could lose the benefits — which average $310 a week nationwide — during the holiday season if the still Democratic-controlled Congress doesn’t act in the postelection lame-duck session. The expiration could affect as many as 5 million by the end of February. With new employment figures Friday showing 14 million Americans still out of work last month and an unemployment rate stuck at 9.6 percent, President Barack Obama renewed his call for another extension “to help those hardest hit by the downturn while generating more demand in the economy.” But there’s no way that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and other GOP senators would support an extension unless they’re accompanied by equivalent spending cuts, McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said. Every recession since 1950 has featured an extended federal benefits program fi-

No easy answers in lowering rate of unwed black mothers tionate numbers of black men to prison, and crushed the job opportunities for those who served their time. Women don’t want to marry men who can’t provide for their families, and welfare laws created a financial incentive for poor mothers to stay single.

findings of an internal Pentagon survey of the policy that was sent out to about 400,000 troops and another 150,000 family members. He will make recommendations to Defense Secretary Robert Gates later this month. Amos declined to comment on the survey results, though portions have been leaked to reporters. Most troops and their families think the policy could be done away with, according to officials familiar with its findings who spoke on condition of anonymity because the results had not been released. Amos said his top priority was success in Afghanistan — no matter how many people or how much equipment is required — and that he didn’t expect any pullback in Marine forces over the next year. President Barack Obama wants to start reducing U.S. troop numbers in July, if conditions on the ground allow.

Marines’ top man says now isn’t time to overturn ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy on gays SAN DIEGO (AP) — The new commandant of the U.S. Marines Corps said Saturday that now is the wrong time to overturn the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy prohibiting gays from openly serving in the military, as U.S. troops remain in the thick of war in Afghanistan. “There’s risk involved; I’m trying to determine how to measure that risk,” Gen. James Amos said. “This is not a social thing. This is combat effectiveness. That’s what the country pays its Marines to do.” Last month, the Pentagon was forced to lift its ban on openly serving gays for eight days after a federal judge in California ordered the military to do so.The Justice Department has appealed, and a federal appeals court granted a temporary stay of the injunction. Amos said the policy’s repeal may have unique consequences for the Marines, which is exempt from a Defense Department rule for troops to have private living quarters except at basic training or officer candidate schools. The Marines puts two people in each room to promote a sense of unity. “There is nothing more intimate than young men and young women — and when you talk of infantry, we’re talking our young men — laying out, sleeping alongside of one another and sharing death, fear and loss of brothers,” he said. “I don’t know what the effect of that will be on cohesion. I mean, that’s what we’re looking at. It’s unit cohesion, it’s combat effectiveness.” Amos, who began his assignment last month, said he was reviewing preliminary

of the problem. Even in black churches, “nobody talks about it,” Carroll says. “It’s like some big secret.” But there are signs of change, of discussion and debate within and outside the black community on how to address the growing problem. Research has increased into links between behavior and poverty, scholars say. Historically black Hampton University recently launched a National Center on African American Marriages and Parenting. There is a Marry Your Baby Daddy Day, founded by a black woman who was left at the altar, and a Black Marriage Day, which aims “to make healthy marriages the norm rather than the exception.” In September, Princeton University and the liberal Brookings Institution released a collection of “Fragile Families” reports on unwed parents. And an online movement called “No Wedding No Womb” ignited a fierce debate. Among the reasons for the high percentage include the drug epidemic sent dispropor-

The black community’s 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups: 17 percent of Asians, 29 percent of whites, 53 percent of Hispanics and 66 percent of Native Americans were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available. The rate for the overall U.S. population was 41 percent. This issue entered the public consciousness in 1965, when a now famous government report by future senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan described a “tangle of pathology” among blacks that fed a 24 percent black “illegitimacy” rate. The white rate then was 4 percent. Many accused Moynihan, who was white, of “blaming the victim:” of saying that black behavior, not racism, was the main cause of black problems. That dynamic persists. Most talk about the 72 percent has come from conservative circles; when influential blacks like Bill Cosby have spoken out about it, they have been all but shouted down by liberals saying that a lack of equal education and opportunity are the true root

Diamonds circle Carroll’s ring finger. As a black woman who has brought thousands of babies into the world, Carroll is among the few whom black women will actually listen to. “A mama CARROLL can’t give it all. And neither can a daddy, not by themselves,” Carroll says. “Part of the reason is because you can only give that which you have. A mother cannot give all that a man can give. A truly involved father figure offers more fullness to a child’s life.” Statistics show just what that fullness means. Children of unmarried mothers of any race are more likely to perform poorly in school, go to prison, use drugs, be poor as adults, and have their own children out of wedlock.

HOUSTON (AP) — One recent day at Dr. Natalie Carroll’s OB-GYN practice, located inside a low-income apartment complex tucked between a gas station and a freeway, 12 pregnant black women come for consultations. Some bring their children or their mothers. Only one brings a husband. Women sit shoulder-toshoulder in the narrow waiting room, sometimes for more than an hour. Carroll does not rush her mothers in and out. She wants her babies born as healthy as possible, so Carroll spends time talking to the mothers about how they should care for themselves, what she expects them to do — and why they need to get married. Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics. This number is inseparable from the work of Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women. “The girls don’t think they have to get married. I tell them children deserve a mama and a daddy. They re-

Statue in Poland may be world’s biggest of Jesus said Danuta Gordzelewska, a 60-year-old who watched as the statue’s head was lowered into place. Gordzelewska has donated money to the statue, which was funded by contributions from as far away as Canada. “It’s special to watch something being built that later generations will have.” After many delays, a crane on Saturday morning lifted the arms and shoulders and slowly placed them onto the figure’s lower body. Zawadzki, the priest who created the statue, said, “I have never been as happy as I am today.” He is known in town as “the builder priest” after also erecting two churches and other buildings.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A 46year-old Oregon mother of two is accused of using fake documents to live under an assumed identity for more than 20 years. The Statesman Journal reports 46-year-old Tracy Humphreys gave a false name to Keizer police during a stop Oct. 27, and officers found fake identity cards under a second false name in her purse. The Salem scrap-booking business owner was charged with identity theft under one false name, but police linked her to her real name and two outstanding charges in Washington state after she was fingerprinted. Under her real name, Humphreys had a 1988 parole violation and a 1989 theft charge from Walla Walla. She had married and had children using a false name.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Looking out her front window in a usually quiet residential neighborhood in this city, Deanna Goldstein’s knees began to shake. More than 100 protesters were hemmed in by police in riot gear. A trash can was blazing on the street. “I came home early from downtown to get away from the craziness, but the craziness came to me,” she said. In the past, the violent protests over a white transit officer’s slaying of an unarmed black man trashed downtown Oakland businesses. But after Johannes Mehserle on Friday received the minimum two-year sentence for slaying Oscar Grant, demonstrators marched into residential areas near Lake Merritt for the first time. Police arrested 152 protesters, including seven juveniles, on suspicion of crimes including vandalism, unlawful assembly and disturbing the peace. Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said 56 of those arrested were from outside the city. Investigators will be reviewing video and photographs of protesters damaging property to help prosecutors file charges, he said. Residents who woke up to broken car windows and littered streets were left asking why protesters chose their neighborhood and how it became engulfed in violence.

SWIEBODZIN, Poland (AP) — A gigantic statue of Jesus that Poles claim is the world’s largest rose majestically above a small town on Saturday, as the grandiose dream of a local priest finally came to pass. The white statue with outstretched arms and golden crown rising above the westPolish plains in ern Swiebodzin provides competition to Rio de Janiero’s iconic Christ the Redeemer. The mayor of the western Polish town, Dariusz Bekisz, claims it is now the world’s tallest. Rev. Sylwester Zawadzki, the 78-year-old priest who created the statue said it rises 108 feet, or 33 meters — one meter for every year that Jesus lived. Other members of the construction team, however, gave differing figures. One said it rises 167 feet (51 meters) if you include a mound it sits on and the crown on the head. By comparison, the statue in Brazil’s Rio is 125 feet (38 meters) tall. While it wasn’t possible to verify the exact height of the new statue, there was no doubt that “Christ the King,” as the golden-crowned Polish statue is called, cut an imposing sight as it was finally completed. It has divided Poles and underlined the deep cultural divide between a deeply Catholic population and an increasingly confident secular society — with many mocking

Volcanic ash leads airlines to detour Indonesia
MUMBAI, India (AP) — Searching for help half a world away, President Barack Obama on Saturday embraced India as the next jobs-creating giant for hurting Americans, not a cheap-labor rival that outsources opportunity from the United States. Obama was determined to show tangible, economic results on his long Asia trip, and that was apparent from almost the moment he set foot on a steamy afternoon in the world’s largest democracy. By the end of the first of his three days in India, he was promoting $10 billion in trade deals — completed in time for his visit — that the White House says will create about 54,000 jobs at home. That’s a modest gain compared with the extent of the enduring jobless crisis in the United States. Economists say it would require on the level of 300,000 new jobs a month to put a real dent in an unemployment rate stuck near 10 percent. The bigger picture was the potential of an unleashed trading relationship between India and the United States. “For America, this is a jobs strategy,” Obama said of his emphasis on trade. His 10-day trip continues today with young people in Mumbai before meetings in New Delhi, the capital. Later in the week, he heads to Indonesia and economic talks in South Korea and Japan.
Yemen orders arrest of radical US-born cleric SAN’A, Yemen (AP) — A Yemeni judge ordered police Saturday to find a radical U.S.-born cleric “dead or alive” after the al-Qaida-linked preacher failed to appear at his trial for his role in the killing of foreigners. Yemen is under heavy U.S. pressure to crack down on the country’s al-Qaida offshoot after a scheme to send bombs through the mail in packages addressed to the U.S. was thwarted a week ago. The group known as l-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the plot on Friday. The cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, was born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents and is one of the most prominent English-language radical clerics. His sermons advocating jihad, or holy war, against the United States have influenced militants involved in several attacks or attempted attacks on U.S. soil. Yemeni officials say he may have blessed the mail bomb plot, while not necessarily taking an active part in it. The United States has already authorized the CIA to capture or kill al-Awlaki, who has also been linked to the failed bombing of a U.S.-bound plane in December 2009.

charred corpses in its path. Photos taken by a disaster management team afterward showed bodies frozen in their last moments, covered in a thick charcoal-like ash. Several showed bodies welded together, as mothers and fathers clutched their children. The number of people killed by Mount Merapi in the last two weeks climbed to 138, according to Sigit Priohutomo, a senior hospital official. The volcano continued to rumble and groan Saturday, at times spitting ash up to five miles in the air, dusting windshields, rooftops and leaves on trees hundreds of miles away. Just days before President Barack Obama’s visit to Indonesia, international carriers canceled flights to the capital, Jakarta, over concerns about the volcano, 280 miles away.

Bernanke defends new Fed plan to aid growth JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the Fed’s new $600 billion program to aid the economy, rejecting concerns that it will spur runaway inflation. Critics, including some Fed officials, fear that all the money being injected into the economy could ignite inflation or speculative bubbles in the prices of bonds or commodities. Speaking to a conference on the Georgia coast, Bernanke said the new program, announced Wednesday, won’t push inflation to “super ordinary” levels. The Fed will buy $600 billion worth of government bonds in a bid to make loans cheaper and get Americans to spend more. Doing so would help the economy and prompt companies to boost hiring. The economy hasn’t been growing fast enough to reduce unemployment, which has been stuck at a high of 9.6 percent for three straight months. The Fed worries that high unemployment, lackluster wage gains and still-weak home values will weigh on consumer spending, a major drive of overall economic activity.

Reputed Gulf Cartel boss killed in shootout MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican marines killed a reputed Gulf cartel leader and one of Mexico’s most-wanted drug lords in a spectacular, hours-long gunbattle near the U.S. border, the latest in a growing number of hits on the country’s drug kingpins. Antonio Ezequiel Cardenas Guillen, also known as “Tony Tormenta” or “Tony the Storm,” was killed Friday along with four of his gunmen and three marines in the city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas, the Mexican navy said in a statement. President Barack Obama telephoned his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, Saturday morning to reaffirm Washington’s support for Mexico’s efforts to fight the cartels and express his condolences for the Mexican troops and the reporter killed in the shootouts, according to a White House statement. A soldier and a local reporter were also killed in related mayhem that began Friday morning and lasted into the evening. Across the city, residents holed up in their homes and offices to escape the violence, communicating by Facebook and Twitter. “Shelter, everyone! Don’t leave your houses please. Pass the word,” read one tweet.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A young Florida woman known for unstoppable hiccups and now charged with murder has been denied bail. Judge Donald Horrox on Friday denied a motion to set bond for Jennifer Ann Mee, who remains jailed. Mee and her attorney John Trevena on Tuesday had asked Horrox to set $50,000 bail. Mee is charged with first-degree murder, accused of luring a 22-year-old man to a meeting in a vacant home where he was robbed and shot. Authorities say they do not believe Mee fired the gun. Mee was briefly in the spotlight in 2007 because she couldn’t stop hiccuping. The hicMEE cups lasted about five weeks and stopped as mysteriously as they began. Trevena says Mee has Tourette’s Syndrome, a neurological disorder that can cause involuntary movements and speech problems.

Net gain Salisbury wins third straight state tennis title BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
BURLINGTON — One thing stood Salisbury 6 b e t w e e n Tarboro 0 secondseeded Erika Nelson and a bum-rush celebration: teammate Joy Loeblein. Nelson provided the clinching victory as Salisbury claimed its third straight 2A tennis title with a 6-0 win against Tarboro on Saturday morning. The other Hornets didn’t immediately charge toward Nelson because that would have required crossing the first court, where Loeblein was three points away from wrapping up a 6-1, 6-2 win over Elizabeth Thompson. Loeblein prevailed, shook hands with Thompson and then turned to receive a hug from a hovering Nelson. A crowd of joyous Salisbury players assembled quickly near the two juniors. “After I won my match I kind of got the chills,” fourthseeded freshman Madeline Hoskins said. “Once Erika got that last point, it actually sunk in. We had talked about winning the whole year, but it was finally a relief, and I got a lot of chills. “I saw a smile on Joy’s face after she knew Erika won because she knew all of us had won.” The Hornets, making their sixth consecutive championship appearance, dropped a total of only 10 games in the hour needed to handle Tarboro (26-3). Salisbury (27-2) established itself as the clear-cut favorite back in August by winning 61 against Shelby and 9-0 against Greene Central. The Hornets shut out Shelby in the Western final Friday, and Greene Central fell 5-4 against Tarboro in a rain-interrupted match that ended around 10:30 p.m.

Salisbury’s Erika Nelson, facing camera, hugs teammate Joy Loeblein after the Hornets beat Tarboro for the 2A tennis title. “We just went in with a sense of confidence, but not a cocky sense, knowing we have the ability to win,” Loeblein said. “We’re going to play every point like we’re down and focus on every single shot to do our best to win.”
The Vikings hit the road after their win Friday night and arrived at their Burlington hotel at approximately 1:30 a.m. Hoskins, sixth-seeded Anna Flynn, third-seeded Katelyn Storey and fifth-seeded Anna Page gave Salisbury
a quick 4-0 lead for the second straight day. Loeblein nearly finished next from her spot adjacent to the spectator bleachers, a celebration-worthy scenario that could have created mixed emotions for Nelson.
She lost her match against Cardinal Gibbons in the 2A final as a freshman and was preparing to start a third-set tiebreaker last year when Salisbury sealed a 5-0 victory over Greene Central. Nelson posted a 6-2, 6-1 win

All four of the Rowan County squads 1AA North Rowan, 2AA Salisbury and 3A West Rowan and Carson were given home games. Teams dropped one game and go into the playoffs based on 10-game records. Undefeated West Rowan (11-0) is the top seed in 3A. It carries the nation’s longest winning streak (41) into the playoffs and goes for a third straight state title. Scott Young’s Falcons will meet 3-8 Harding University. “Anytime you play a YOUNG big-city school, you know its going to have a team of athletes,” Young said. If West wins, it will play host to the Cox Mill-Northwest Cabarrus victor. NPC neighbor Carson (9-2) is the second seed in the same Midwest bracket, facing Hickory (4-7). It will be more history for the fifth-year school. The Cougars will be hosting their first playoff football game.

Four Rowan teams home in first round
BY MIKE CRANSTON CHARLOTTE — It wasn’t long ago John Fox was fresh off a trip to the NFC title game and a couple years removed from a Super Bowl appearance as he pushed to get buddy Sean Payton his first head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. Now wearing a Super Bowl ring, Payton is a coaching star. Fox’s fortunes, meanwhile, have plummeted. Denied a contract extension, his Carolina Panthers are among the worst teams in the league and all signs point to this being his last year in Charlotte. Payton knows he needs the banged-up Saints (5-3) to complete their first season sweep of the woeful Panthers (1-6) since 2001 on Sunday to erase a slow start and stay in the mix in the competitive NFC South. But it hasn’t stopped Payton from looking out for his embattled friend. “When he becomes a free agent, you get a feel for the market,” Payton said. “For him it will be a good thing.” Fox, too, said last week that, “I’ve never really worried about having a job in this league and I’m not going to start now.” But it’s striking how the roles are reversed
against Tarboro’s Morgan King. “This year was special because it’s the first time I had won an actual match in the state championships,” Nelson

Salisbury soccer falls Staff report
Salisbury’s boys soccer season ended in the second round of the 2A playoffs on Saturday at Ludwig Stadium, with the Hornets losing a 110-minute marathon that finally was decided by penalty kicks. “Penalty kicks are always a roll of the dice,” Salisbury coach Tom Sexton said. Tied 2-2 with East Lincoln after regulation, two 10-minute overtimes and two five-minute, sudden-death periods, the Hornets finally fell 5-4 in PKs. East Lincoln (15-6-3) got an early goal off a free kick. “They came out flying, really going at us hard,” Sexton said. “They are a very battle-tested team that played a difficult
schedule right from the start of the year. They were ready for this matchup.” Salisbury got the equalizer when Matt Cervantes’ corner set up Gerardo Sosa. It was 1-1 at halftime. “It was a raucous crowd, and we got uncharacteristically emotional,” Sexton said. “But we reorganized at halftime.” Neither team scored in the second half or the first OT period. Cervantes assisted on a goal by Marco Mejia for a 2-1 lead in the second overtime, but the Hornets missed chances for a 3-1 lead that would have shut the door. “You’ve got to know your moment when it arrives,” Sexton said. “We had the opportunities, but we kicked it a little hard or were a little out of position.”
Salisbury made a mistake and gave up a corner late in the second OT, and East Lincoln SEXTON scored after a trainwreck in front of the goal. “Knocked in a dribbler,” Sexton said. Neither team produced a “golden goal” in the sudden-death periods, and it was time for PKs. The dice didn’t roll Salisbury’s way. Salisbury (19-2-1) claimed another county title and its seventh straight CCC crown, but a deep, talented team fell short of its aspirations in the playoffs. East Lincoln and Salisbury battle almost annually in the postseason. The Mustangs will play Surry Central next.

It was exciting. We just didn’t get the outcome that we wanted.” Tusculum (6-4, 2-4) kept kicking it to McCray without fear. The Pioneers had nothing to lose. “It was a little surprised they kicked it to me after the first touchdown,” McCray said. “Very surprised after the second one.” On McCray’s final return, Tusculum’s Stephen Gyebison made a flying, shoestring tackle at the Catawba 18. Otherwise, McCray might have rolled for another 30 yards. “Every team we’ve played this year has had someone have the game of their lives,” Tusculum coach Frank DeBusk said. “Today, McCray did, but we rebounded.” Tusculum, which beat Western Carolina in September, was able to rebound because it had its own recordbreaker in sophomore quarterback Bo Cordell, who leads the world in passing yardage. “Catawba has a great defensive front, the best in our conference, if not the best in the nation, but our offensive line played absolutely great,” Cordell said. “ We’ve been so close so many times. Today, we put it all together.” Cordell completed 32 of 43 passes. He was sacked twice, once by Damein Lee and once by a tag-team act when Julian Hartsell brought pressure up the middle and cornerback Bryant Vennable blitzed. “Catawba is exceptionally strong as far as stopping the run, but that’s not a big factor with us,” DeBusk said. “We don’t even pretend to run it.” Cordell threw for 510 yards at chilly Shuford Stadium. He boosted his season total to 4,258 passing yards, breaking a mark held by Tusculum’s Corey Russell. Cordell passed for three TDs — two to Donté Gist — and rushed for two. “It was shocking because we had momentum,” Catawba defensive tackle Brandon Sutton said. “We were flying around out there, fighting with great effort, but you just have to give it to Bo Cordell. When a guy is playing like that, there’s just not that much you can do.” Entering the game ranked third regionally, Catawba (6-3, 4-2) had its hopes for a SAC cochampionship and a postseason bid damaged but not ended. The Indians finish the regular season next week at surging Lenoir-Rhyne.

Daniel Griffith threw a touchdown pass. “It was frustrating because this was a game that we really needed,” Catawba coach Chip Hester said. Catawba started hot, with Patrick Dennis throwing a 14yard TD pass to Brandon Bunn in the opening minutes. Tusculum got a field goal from Gareth Rowlands — one of his four — but McCray answered with his 99-yard return for a 14-3 lead. Then Catawba’s offense hit a dry spell, and a blocked punt by Billy Pooser gave Tusculum a sudden touchdown. That may have been the single biggest play of the game and pulled the Pioneers within 1413. Then they grabbed a 20-14
lead on a 6-yard scoring scramble by Cordell. Thomas Trexler’s 21-yard field goal briefly stopped the bleeding, but even that score was disappointing because Catawba settled for three points after having first-andgoal at the Tusculum 7. When Trexler’s ensuing kickoff was returned for a 79yard TD by Gist, Tusculum led 27-17 and was taking over. Dennis was intercepted in the end zone after Catawba pushed to the Tusculum 24, and it was an uphill struggle from there. Even with McCray taking his second kickoff to the house with 1:22 left in the first half, Catawba

They’ve put us back in position to do good things.” In the second half, Dennis scored on a sneak, Rashaun Gaither rushed for an 11yard TD, and backup QB Daniel Griffith threw to Eric Morman for a score, but Catawba never got over the hump. With Catawba down 44-37 early in the fourth quarter, Trexler barely missed on a 45-yard field goal, and the Pioneers removed all remaining doubt with a 72-yard scoring drive against a tiring defense. “We’ve been unlucky this year, losing SAC games by 3, 6, 7 and 7, but we really feel like we should’ve won them all,” DeBusk said. “We’re young on defense, but we have a good football team.” Catawba wasn’t arguing. “Hands down, Tusculum has got a good quarterback, and they’ve got a great scheme with all those receivers crossing,” McCray said. “They came in and played today like they were an undefeated team.”
Hornet girls finish third BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
KERNERSVILLE — It must have been a quiet bus ride home from Beeson Park for the Salisbury girls crosscountry team Saturday. Finishing third in the 2A state meet can do that to you. “I’m not sure why, but they were all disappointed,” coach Meagan Robinson said after SHS totaled 132 team points and completed its best season ever. “We had really high hopes, whether they were realistic or not. I guess we’re just overachievers.” Salisbury placed five runners in the top 44 and bested last year’s fourth-place finish. Sophomore Katelyn Storey, who helped the Hornets’ tennis team capture its third consecutive state title earlier in the day, ran a personal-best 20:29.99 and crossed the line in 18th place. “I didn’t know what to expect from her,” Robinson said. “I thought she’d be tired, but she has that ability to give it to us when we need it.” Senior twins Katherine and Emily Shields placed 29th and 30th, finishing in 20:46.55 and 20:47.36. “Typically they’re our top runners,” said Robinson. “But they’ve both had stress fractures this year. And they also participate in cycle-cross so their legs are never fresh.” Doreen Richardson (42nd in 21:14.75) capped her first full season with an impressive race. “Yeah,” Robinson said, “and she doesn’t even know her limits yet. That’s the scary part.” Karen Presnell (44th in 21:19.11) was Salisbury’s fifth finisher. Susannah Dixon (61st in 21:40.20) and Jenna Bryan (119th in 24:25.78) completed Salisbury’s lineup. “I’m not sure why they’re all so disappointed,” Robinson concluded. “Maybe they think I’m upset with them, but I’m not. This was a good day.” • When Salisbury’s Philip
Tonseth finished 11th in the 2A boys race, a lot of p e o p l e thought it was a big deal. He didn’t. STOREY “I was really disappointed with myself,” the senior said after clocking 16:58.77 and falling 1.3 seconds short of all-state status. “I tried so hard all season and had high expectations today. But I got too hyped-up in the moment and didn’t run the race I wanted to.” Tonseth, ninth a year ago, had one problem — he was too fast, at least in the early stages. His one-mile split time was a swift 4:53. “You’ve got to think in your mind that you’ve still got two miles to run after that,” he said. “But I didn’t think like that. The first mile is pretty much downhill and I just went far, far too fast.” Tonseth reached the twomile marker in about 10:30, but found himself winded and unable to produce one of his signature finishing kicks. “I just had no energy left,” he said. “I was drained. I pretty much gutted out that last mile.” Putting it in that perspective, Tonseth’s performance was even more impressive. “I suppose one day I’ll look back and be happy,” he said. “Right now I’m just disappointed.” Salisbury coach Mike Allen tried to be reassuring. “He probably didn’t realize what the pace was,” he said. “But I’ve been there and done that. Sometimes you go out too hard and get caught up in the adrenaline.” Instead, Tonseth placed the blame on himself. “I ran a16:36 last week (in the regional meet at Dan Nicholas Park),” he said. “Based on that time, I was hoping to finish second or third with a chance to win here. But today I didn’t run as smart as I did last Saturday.”

Paterno wins 400th Associated Press
The Top 25 roundup ... Joe Paterno reached another magic number and Michigan played maybe the wildest game in its storied history. All that as one national championship contender made an impressive statement and another said goodbye to its title hopes. Paterno became the first major college coach with 400 victories as Penn State rallied from 21 points down to beat Northwestern 35-21 at Happy Valley. But the Nittany Lions' comeback wasn't even close to the craziest Big Ten game of the day. That one happened in the Big House, where Michigan beat Illinois 67-65 in triple overtime — the highest-scoring game in conference history. No. 4 TCU 47, No. 6 Utah 7 SALT LAKE CITY — Andy Dalton passed for a career-high 355 yards and three touchdowns, and TCU looked every bit like a team worthy of busting into the BCS championship game with a 40-point demolition of Utah. TCU receiver Jeremy Kerley, a quarterback in high school, threw a TD pass as the Horned Frogs (10-0, 6-0 Mountain West Conference) jumped out to an early 20-0 lead, quieting a sellout crowd clad almost entirely in black for the "blackout" showdown. By halftime, the Horned Frogs had outgained Utah 328-72 en route to a 23-0 lead. The loss snapped Utah's 21-game home winning streak and dropped the Utes to 8-1 (5-1 MWC). No. 1 Oregon 53, Washington 16 EUGENE, Ore. — Darron Thomas threw for a touchdown and ran for two more and top-ranked Oregon overcame a slow start to beat northwest rival Washington. LaMichael James ran for 121 yards and three scores for the Ducks Redshirt freshman Keith Price made his first career start for Washington (3-6, 2-4) in place of Jake Locker, who watched from the sidelines with a broken rib. No. 2 Boise State 42, Hawaii 7 BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore threw for 507 yards and three touchdowns and Boise State rolled up a school-record 737 total yards. Moore was spectacular, completing 30 of 37 passes and at one point hitting 19 straight in the first half to help the Broncos (8-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference) build a 21-0 halftime lead. No. 3 Auburn 62, Chattanooga 24 AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton passed for a career-high 317 yards and four touchdowns and ran for a fifth for Auburn. The Tigers (10-0) churned out 48 points and 484 yards in the first half against the Football Championship Subdivision Mocs (5-4), who have lost all 21 meetings. No. 12 LSU 24, No. 5 Alabama 21 BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU twice rallied from second-half deficits and once again coach Les Miles employed a little trickery on fourth down, this time to deal a crushing blow to Alabama's national title hopes. Rueben Randle had 125 yards receiving to lead LSU (8-1, 5-1 SEC), including a 75-yard score on a pass from Jordan Jefferson. Greg McElroy completed 21 of 34 passes for 223 yards, including touchdown tosses to Trent Richardson and Julio Jones. But he was intercepted and fumbled on a sack in his own territory, which allowed the Tigers to take a 10-point lead with less than 6 minutes remaining. Alabama (7-2, 4-2) could not recover. No. 7 Wisconsin 34, Purdue 13 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Montee Ball ran for a careerhigh 127 yards and two touchdowns, leading Wisconsin past Purdue. No. 9 Nebraska 31, Iowa State 30, OT AMES, Iowa — Eric Hagg intercepted a pass by Iowa State holder Daniel Kuehl on a fake conversion kick in overtime and Nebraska held off Iowa State in a thrilling final meeting between the two schools as Big 12 rivals. Rex Burkhead ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns for the Cornhuskers (8-1, 4-1 Big 12), who played without star quarterback Taylor Martinez. No. 15 Iowa 18, Indiana 13 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Ricky Stanzi threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Marvin McNutt with 2:50 left to push Iowa past pesky Indiana. Iowa (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) has won nine of its last 11 road games and managed to keep pace with the Big Ten leaders. Indiana (4-5, 0-5) has lost 10 straight conference games and 11 in a row against ranked teams. No. 16 Michigan State 31, Minnesota 8 EAST LANSING, Mich. — Edwin Baker ran for 179 yards and four touchdowns, and Michigan State bounced back from its first loss of the season. Baker scored twice on fourth down near the goal line to help the Spartans (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) take a 21-0 halftime lead. Minnesota (1-9, 0-6) never threatened after that en route to its ninth straight loss. No. 19 Oklahoma State 55, No. 22 Baylor 28 STILLWATER, Okla. — Justin Blackmon had 173 yards receiving and a touchdown and scored on a 69-yard run in his return from a suspension, leading Oklahoma State past Baylor with first place in the Big 12 South on the line. Brandon Weeden threw for a school-record 435 yards and three scores and Kendall Hunter rammed in a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs for Oklahoma State (8-1, 4-1 Big 12), which opened a 34-0 lead on its way to moving past the Bears (73, 4-2) in the standings. No. 25 Nevada 63, Idaho 17 MOSCOW, Idaho — Colin Kaepernick threw a career-high five touchdown passes and Nevada piled up a team-record 844 yards of offense against Idaho.
OTHERS ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michael Shaw scored on a 1-yard run, Tate Forcier threw a 2-point conversion to Junior Hemingway and Michigan’s defense stopped the potential tying 2-point try to lift the Wolverines to a triple-overtime win. Mikel Leshoure ran for a touchdown to draw the Illini within two. On the conversion try, Michigan put a heavy rush on Nathan Scheelhaase, who flipped a desperate pass incomplete. Michigan (6-3, 2-3 Big Ten) snapped a three-game losing streak and became bowl-eligible for the first time in Rich Rodriguez’s three seasons as coach.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — T.J Yates’ 37 record-setUNC Fla. State 35 ting performance delivered North Carolina a victory in a place it had never won before. Yates threw for a schoolrecord 439 yards, Casey Barth kicked his third goal, a 22yarder, with 55 seconds left and the Tar Heels beat No. 24 Florida State 37-35 for their first victory in nine games in Tallahassee. Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins missed two field goals in the fourth quarter, including a 40-yard try with 7 seconds left. Yates threw three touchdown passes and took the Tar Heels 72 yards on the winning drive to set up Barth’s decisive kick. Yates’ 31-yard completion to Dwight Jones was the big play in a drive that North Carolina coach Butch Davis called the best one in his four years at the school. “Tonight was kind of somewhat to be honest with you a microcosm of the whole season,” North Carolina Davis said. “It seems like every week there’s drama and ad-
versity, challenges.” In a season in which the Tar Heels (6-3, 3-2) were expected to contend for the ACC championship they have dealt the loss of several star players because of a pair of NCAA investigations. Still, they have salvaged the season by becoming bowl eligible and beating Florida State for only the second time in 18 meetings. The loss was new coach Jimbo Fisher’s first at home since replacing the iconic Bobby Bowden earlier this year. And it was the second straight game Florida State let a last minute opportunity for a win slip away. “There’s ups, there’s downs,” Fisher said. “We have to learn to not let it come down to a final play.” The Seminoles (6-3, 4-2 ACC) lost control of their own destiny in the league race after a 28-24 defeat at North Carolina State on Oct. 18, when Ponder fumbled the ball inside the Wolfpack 5 in the waning seconds of the game. Florida State once again was in position to regain an inside track for the Atlantic Division berth in the ACC’s title game since Maryland and N.C. State both lost earlier in the
day. Instead, the division will be a scramble to the finish — much like this game. Florida State took a 35-34 lead with 5:49 left on Lonnie Pryor’s second touchdown, which was set up by a botched North Carolina snap. The Seminoles got the ball at the North Carolina 1 after Mark House’s snap sailed over the head of punter C.J. Feagles, who then illegally kicked the ball out of the end zone. While Barth was thrilled about producing the gamewinning points, he felt for Hopkins. “I’ve been there and missed a field goal to the right,” Barth said. “It’s the worst feeling in the world.” Yates’ yards passing were the most against Florida State since Florida’s Danny Wuerffel passed for 443 yards in a 1995 Gator victory. “We knew we were going to have matchups underneath,” said Yates, who broke his own school mark of 412 yards passing earlier this year against LSU. “We were kind of on a hot streak.” Florida State’s secondary had no answers for the 6-foot4, 220-pound Jones, who caught eight passes for 233

Wolfpack loses late Associated Press CLEMSON, S.C. — A promising season at Clemson Clemson 14 had come to this: N.C. State 13 Kyle Parker, the star quarterback who gave up at least $800,000 from the Colorado Rockies for one more season with the Tigers, was riding the bench after another interception. Coach Dabo Swinney let Parker sit for several plays because of his wildly inconsistent play. But Parker got one more chance, coming back in to rally the Tigers to a 14-13 victory over No. 23 North Carolina State on Saturday. “If there’s any game that kind of just represents what this kid had done here with his time at Clemson, I think today pretty much sums that up,” Clemson offensive coordinator Billy Napier. “I’m proud of him, and he knows that.” The loss appeared to be a big blow for the Wolfpack’s chances to win the ACC, until a loss a few hours later by Florida State put them back in control of their own destiny. Clemson’s win also kept them in contention for the league championship game for a second straight year. While Parker struggled, his defense kept the Tigers (5-4, 3-3) in it.
They held the Wolfpack (6-3, 3-2) to 275 yards, more than 180 yards below their average. Napier probably felt he needed to praise Parker following the game, especially after a mix-up between Swinney and Napier meant Parker didn’t know he was being pulled until he saw backup Tajh Boyd take the field. That wasn’t the only mistake the Tigers made. They fumbled five times, losing two of them, threw an interception, had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty and missed two short field goals. Punter Dawson Zimmerman got a game ball because he made a one-handed grab on a punt snap that was several feet off target with Clemson clinging to its narrow lead with three minutes to go. “We’ve played some good football and lost. We’ve had our share of that,” said Swinney, who is 3-9 in games decided by a touchdown or less. “It’s not against the rules to win ugly.” North Carolina State had its share of mistakes. Manning returned an interception for a touchdown, but it was called back for a block in the back. The Wolfpack lost a fumble and got just 13 points from five trips into the Clemson red zone — Russell Wilson threw a pick in the end zone and Josh Czajkowski had a 30-yard field goal
DURHAM — Duke had protected the ball all day until Duke 55 Desmond Scott lost it at Virginia 48 a critical moment. He quickly made amends. Scott ran for a 35-yard touchdown with 40 seconds remaining to help Duke defeat Virginia 55-48 on Saturday in the secondhighest scoring game in ACCe history. The Blue Devils (3-6, 1-4 ACC) snapped an eight-game losing streak in conference play dating to a victory at Virginia last season. They also ended a 20-game losing streak in the month of November going back to 2004, handing the Cavs (4-5, 1-4) their 11th consecutive November defeat. “There were so many plays to talk about that I’m almost in shock and don’t know what to talk about,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. The game-winning run was a good place to start. Scott took a toss to the left on a play Duke installed earlier in the week, raced down the sideline and dived into the end zone. Scott lost a fumble on Duke’s previous possession, allowing Virginia to take a 4847 lead on Keith Payne’s 6-yard touchdown run with 2:26 remaining. “If it is to be, it’s up to me,” Scott said. “I’m glad they put me back in. I lost the ball, and they gave me the ball back.” Quarterbacks Sean Renfree and Brandon Connette rushed for two touchdowns apiece for the Blue Devils, who beat the Cavaliers for the third consecutive year. Renfree made the key throw in Duke’s game-winning drive, completing a 32-yard pass to Donovan Varner on fourth and 20 with 1:09 remaining. “It's disheartening and it's discouraging that one play gets you off the field and you can't capitalize on that,” Virginia coach Mike London said. “Guys are hurting in that locker room.” Marc Verica passed for four touchdowns and a school-record 417 yards for the Cavaliers.
App. State’s SoCon streak ends at 26 Associated Press STATESBORO, Ga. — Robert Brown scored on a 4-yard run to give Georgia Southern a 21-14 overtime win Saturday over Appalachian State, snapping the Mountaineers’ 26-game winning streak in Southern Conference play. The loss was Appalachian State’s first in a conference game since losing to Georgia Southern, 38-35, on Oct. 20, 2007. The Eagles (5-4, 3-3) overcame an early 14-0 deficit, but scored the game’s final 21 points to pull off the upset. The Mountaineers (8-1, 6-1) had three turnovers, all in the red zone, including a fumble by quarterback DeAndre Presley on the final play of the game. Shaw, hobbled by a hip injury,
rushed for 86 yards and a 16-yard run to convert a third down in overtime before Brown scored the game-deciding touchdown for Georgia Southern. “Shaw played with a lot of guts,” Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore said. “He’s a tough kid. He has a hip pointer, and we hit him hard and often.” On the next possession, Presley fumbled and Josh Rowe recovered the loose ball to seal the win for Georgia Southern before a crowd of 20,073 surged onto the field to celebrate the victory. Navy 76, East Carolina 35 GREENVILLE — Ricky Dobbs ran for a touchdown and threw for two more scores as Navy beat East Carolina 76-35 on Saturday, setting a school single-game scoring record while handing the Pirates their ugliest loss
under first-year coach Ruffin McNeill. Alexander Teich ran for 157 yards and a score for the Midshipmen (6-3). The game will remain etched in East Carolina’s program history as well. It was the most points scored by either East Carolina or an opponent in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, while Navy’s 521 yards rushing were the most by an opponent here and the second-most allowed by the Pirates ever. BC 23, Wake Forest 13 WINSTON-SALEM — Montel Harris added another honor to his resume and kept alive Boston College's push. Harris carried 36 times for 183 yards and three touchdowns, and the Eagles beat Wake Forest 23-13 on Saturday to push the Demon Deacons into sole possession of last place in their division.

Livingstone (0-10, 0-7) got the first break of the game when Devonta Harmon recovered a fumble. Despite the boost from the defense the offense still sputtered and again turned the ball over on downs.
With 2:34 left in the first quarter JCSU got on the scoreboard behind a 16-yard run to go up 7-0. The Blue Bears got the second quarter started on a positive note when Levon Stanley capped off an impressive drive with a nine-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 77. But just a minute later, JCSU scored on a 59-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked and the Golden Bulls led 13-7. Livingstone then drove to the Johnson C. Smith 4-yard line and that’s where Elvin James had a decision to make on fourth-and-goal. Instead of opting for a field goal attempt, the Blue Bears tried a run-
ning play that failed. Johnson C. Smith took advantage and hooked up on another big pass play, this time fo 75 yards for a touchdown. The Blue Bearblocked another extra point try and Johnson C. Smith led 19-7at halftime. Johnson C. Smith (2-9, 1-6) took its first drive of the second half in for a score, capping an eight-play, 65-yard march with a 21-yard run to go up 26-. After a Livingstone punt on the next possession, Shawntez Jones picked off his first pass of the season to give the ball back to the Blue Bears. Stanley was injured early in the fourth quarter and backup Curtis
Edens’s first pass was picked off. Livingstone drove 61 yards on 11 plays to get into the end zone on a seven-yard run by Tevin Mishoe, cutting the lead to 26-13. Terrill Gourdine and Tevin Mishoe led the Blue Bears rushing attack Saturday as they racked up 81 and 80 yards rushing respectively. Overall the Blue Bears totaled 286 yards of total offense with 249 yards coming on the ground. The Blue Bears held the Golden Bulls to only 145 yards on the ground but allowed 283 yards through the air. Stanley had 54 yards rushing and 37 passing. Defensively, Bryan Aycoth led

Brad Keselowski celebrates his Nationwide title after finishing third in texas.
Keselowski wins title Associated Press FORT WORTH, Texas — Brad Keselowski clinched the Nationwide season title by finishing third in Texas on Saturday, giving owner Roger Penske his first championship in one of NASCAR’s national series. Keselowski, who had to finish only 21st or better to wrap up the driver’s championship with two races left, crossed the line behind winner Carl Edwards and runnerup Kyle Busch to earn his 24th top-five result of the season. “Part of you feels honored to do it for Roger,” Keselowski said. “To get to see him carry that (NASCAR) trophy and do something he’s never done, it’s hard to give a billionaire something. It’s pretty cool.” While Keselowski did celebratory doughnuts in his No. 22 Dodge, Edwards got the checkered flag from his 28th career Nationwide victory and went into the stands to share a moment with fans sitting on the frontstretch. Edwards charged ahead on the final restart, a green-white-checker finish that added five laps to the scheduled 200-lap race. Busch was denied a NASCAR-record sixth consecutive win at Texas and claimed
Edwards took off early. “Carl Edwards jumped the restart by about three (car) lengths,” an obviously annoyed Busch said. “The race is over. Guy’s in Victory Lane. Doesn’t matter.” Keselowski has held the points lead since winning at Talladega in the eighth race this season April 25. He got to Texas with a 485-point lead over Edwards that got trimmed by only 20 Saturday. “Going through the last few weeks knowing that it looked pretty good to win the championship, I couldn’t help but think of all the things that could go wrong,” Keselowski said. “When you think of those things, I don’t want to get my hopes up until it’s really there. It’s here. It really happened.” Busch led three times for a race-high 107 laps. Edwards also led three times for 59 laps and won by 0.702 seconds with an average speed of 142.270 mph. While Keselowski has clinched the driver’s title, the No. 22 is still second in owner points, 81 behind the Joe Gibbs-owned No. 18 driven by Busch. “What a terrific season it has been for Brad,” said Penske, who has won 12 openwheel titles and a record 15 Indianapolis 500s.
Zenyatta perfect no more Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Put the blame on Blame for breaking Zenyatta’s magnificent winning streak — and a lot of hearts, too. Jockey Mike Smith wept. Owners Jerry and Ann Moss stood in stunned silence. Trainer John Shirreffs trudged slowly back to the barn, hands in his pockets. Nineteen times the people behind Zenyatta led horse racing’s superstar to the track. Nineteen times they’d celebrated with her in the winner’s circle. Not this time. Blame beat Zenyatta by a head in a thrilling finish at the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday night, handing the 6year-old mare her first defeat. Zenyatta threaded her way through traffic from last place while the crowd of 72,739 urged her on as she unleashed a monstrous closing kick under the lights at Churchill Downs. It was so close, a matter of inches, the result had to be resolved by a photo — a picture that saddened not only Zenyatta’s owners and trainer but millions of fans around the world. It was so close, Ann Moss said she was hoping her horse had “stuck her tongue out” at the finish. Smith blamed himself for the loss. He walked off the track with his head down, dirt stuck to his face. “It was my fault,” he said, sobbing. “She should’ve won.”
GOLF SHANGHAI — Francesco Molinari holed out for eagle from the 13th fairway, matched the lowest score of the third round and still had to make a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole to keep the lead over top-ranked Lee Westwood
in the HSBC Champions on Saturday. Tiger Woods hooked his tee shot into the water on the par-5 second hole for the second straight day, and his back-toback bogeys early in the round stalled him. He shot a 73 and was 11 shots out of the lead.
NHL RALEIGH — Eric Staal scored twice and Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist to lead Carolina over Florida 3-2. Cam Ward made 18 saves for the Hurricanes, who bounced back from a loss Friday. Blackhawks 5, Thrashers 4 ATLANTA — Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane both scored two goals and Viktor Stalberg added the winner in a shootout to help the Chicago Blackhawks snap a two-game slide with a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. Blues 2, Bruins 1, SO BOSTON — Jaroslav Halak made 33 saves through overtime and two more in the shootout to lead St. Louis past Boston. Flyers 2, Islanders 1 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Andreas Nodl snapped a tie with 5:25 left for Philadelphia, which stretched its winning streak to six and sent the slumping New York Islanders (4-8-2) to their seventh straight loss. Wild 3, Blue Jackets 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Cal Clutterbuck followed a crushing hit with the decisive goal in the third period to give Minnesota a win against Columbus. Senators 3, Canadiens 2 MONTREAL — Alex Kovalev scored twice for his 996th and 997th NHL points and Ottawa extended its winning streak to three by beating Montreal. Sabres 3, Maple Leafs 2, SO TORONTO — Tyler Ennis scored the shootout winner for last-place Buffalo against Toronto.
Mark Woody said he didn’t know much about Hickory but added, “I’ve got a few people who can give me some insight.” Carson was off last week and will go in well-rested. “We’ll try to keep the kids on the ground,” Woody said. “It will be business as usual.” Salisbury (8-3), the CCC champion, is the 2AA’s third seed in the Midwest and plays host to North Surry (8-3). “We used to play them,” Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan said. “They’ll be big and physical. But it doesn’t matter who you play. They’re all good.” If the Hornets advance, they’ll meet the winner of the South Iredell-Forest Hills game. North Rowan (6-5), the YVC champion, is home to a familiar foe in West Montgomery. It will be a rematch of two week ago when the Cavaliers edged the Warriors in the final seconds to win 2622. The Cavs then beat South Davidson Friday to secure the outright title. They enter the 1AA playoffs in the Midwest bracket. I credit the kids,” North coach Tasker Fleming said. “They did what they had to.” Also, A.L. Brown (10-1) will be home in the 3AA playoffs against fellow SPC foe Hickory Ridge. The Wonders are rated first in the Midwest.
PANTHERS FROM 1B from the end of the 2005 season when Payton, then a Dallas assistant, got a strong recommendation from Fox has he sought the Saints job. “Somewhere along the line, I’m sure people that make those decisions asked me about Sean,” Fox said. “Of course, I have nothing but great things to say.” They became close from their time together with the Giants, when Fox was the defensive coordinator and Payton ran the offense as New York reached the Super Bowl following the 2000 season. “We lived near each other and spent a lot of time together,” Payton said. “I have a ton of respect for his football knowledge and his ability and I think that is something we had a chance to share.” Fox has seemingly run out of answers — or talent — this season, however. Powerless as owner Jerry Richardson ordered management to slash payroll and begin a youth movement, the Panthers have become the NFL’s bottomfeeder in points (12.1 per game), yards (251.4), interceptions (13) and turnover margin (minus-10). Last Sunday was another nightmare, as Matt Moore threw three more picks in a 20-10 loss at St. Louis as the Panthers managed 25 yards rushing to eliminate any momentum from their first win over San Francisco a week earlier. It marked the fourth time in seven games Caroli-

Charlotte Catholic is the second seed. In the 4A playoffs, Davie (5-6), like North Rowan, is seeing a familiar foe. After losing to North Davidson 51-28 on Friday, the NCHSAA matched them up in the first round. The pod system is supposed to keep teams close, but in some cases, the Pod Squad has coaches scratching their heads. Like Fleming, when he realized he was going to play West Montgomery for the second time in three weeks. “I know the pod is to cut out travel,” he said, “but the first round still should not be conference stuff.” Of West Montgomery, he said, “ It’s something to motivate them. It would be nice to play somebody different.” • NOTE: East Rowan defeated South Rowan on Friday but neither one made the playoffs with two-win seasons. ... Fleming could help out former East Rowan coach Tom Eanes with a scouting report. Eanes’ third-seeded Pender County team is playing East Montgomery in a first-round 1AA game.
na has scored 10 or fewer points. “It’s just so bad on offense,” left tackle Jordan Gross said. “There’s no other reason we’re losing besides that.” The Saints showed some glimpses of their 2009 selves in the fourth quarter against the Steelers when Brees threw two touchdown passes. “We’re chomping at the bit to rattle off a couple games of 30 plus points each,” said Brees, who has 16 TD passes but also 11 interceptions. “That’s when you’re clicking.” The Panthers would settle for just basic offensive competence as they face the NFL’s third-rated defense. Moore, who had been benched for rookie Jimmy Clausen in the first meeting with New Orleans, will start despite being responsible for 12 of Carolina’s league-high 23 turnovers. “We just can’t get out of our own way sometimes,” Gross said. It’s put Fox’s streak of never finishing worse than 7-9 as an NFL coach or an assistant in jeopardy. • Also today, it's Tampa Bay at Atlanta in a battle for the NFC South lead; Indianapolis at Philadelphia; Miami at Baltimore; San Diego at Houston; the New York Giants at Seattle; Arizona at Minnesota; Dallas at Green Bay; Chicago vs. Buffalo in Toronto; New Orleans at Carolina; the New York Jets at Detroit; and New England at Cleveland.

CHARLOTTE — Dwight Howard had 22 points and eight rebounds, Rashard Lewis scored 22 points and Orlando withstood Charlotte’s furious comeback attempt. The Magic overcame Jameer Nelson sitting out with a sprained ankle and Vince Carter leaving the game with an injury late for their first road win of the season. After trailing by 18 in the third quarter, the Bobcats got within 89-88 on Stephen Jackson’s driving layup with 32 seconds left. Quentin Richardson then answered with a runner in the lane with 9.8 seconds to go. Charlotte had a chance to tie, but Boris Diaw and D.J. Augustin missed 3-pointers in the closing seconds. Gerald Wallace had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Bobcats. • CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Bobcats guard Stephen Jackson became the latest target of the NBA’s crackdown on behavior when he was fined $50,000 on Saturday for verbally abusing the referees after a loss to Detroit a night earlier. A defiant Jackson called the punishment undeserved and is considering an appeal. “Everybody should be shocked — $50,000?” Jackson said. “If you all saw what happened, $50,000, that’s a lot of money. But welcome to the life of Stephen Jackson.” Heat 101, Nets 89 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade had 29 points and 10 rebounds, LeBron James scored 14 of his 23 points in the third quarter and the Miami Heat pulled away in the second half to beat the New Jersey Nets 101-89. Chris Bosh added 21 points for the Heat, who used a 25-10 run in the third quarter to turn a close game into a runaway and beat the Nets for the second time in a week. James finished with nine assists. Anthony Morrow scored 25 points for New Jersey, which lost its fourth straight after a 2-0 start. Hornets 87, Bucks 81 MILWAUKEE — David West made 10-of-12 shots and scored a season-high 25 points, and the New Orleans Hornets remained unbeaten with an 87-81 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Chris Paul and Marco Belinelli each added 14 for the Hornets, who at 6-0 are off to their best start in franchise history. They entered play under rookie coach Monty Williams as one of only three undefeated teams in the NBA after beating the Miami Heat on Friday. Spurs 124, Rockets 121, OT SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker had 21 points and 14 assists, including seven points in overtime, and the San Antonio Spurs kept the Houston Rockets winless with a 124-121 victory. The only NBA team without a victory this season, the Rockets (0-5) are off to their worst start since 1999. Cavaliers 107, Wizards 102 WASHINGTON — Mo Williams scored 10 of his 28 points in the final four minutes to lead Cleveland over Washington.

A Time Warner Cable truck is parked in New York, where the country's second-largest cable company is struggling to hold onto subscribers. Cable companies nationwide are struggling to keep subscribers.
Weak economy, housing market may be most to blame for each provider’s lost subscribers EW YORK (AP) — Cable companies have been losing TV subscribers at an ever faster rate in the last few months, and satellite TV isn’t picking up the slack. That could be a sign that Internet TV services such as Netflix and Hulu are finally starting to entice people to cancel cable, though company executives are pointing to the weak economy and housing market for now. Third-quarter results reported Thursday by major cable TV companies show major losses, but don’t settle the question of what’s causing them. If “cord-cutting” in favor of Internet video is finally taking hold, that has wideranging implications. Consumers who use the Internet to get their movies and TV shows bypass not just the cable companies, but the cable networks that produce the content. The move could have the same disruptive effect on the TV and movie industries as digital downloads have already had on music. A few weeks ago, the CEO of phone company Verizon Communications Inc. likened cord-cutting to what started happening to the local-phone companies five or six years ago, when people started giving up their landlines in favor of relying solely on their cell phones. “The first thing when that happens is you deny it,” Ivan

Cable vs. satellite earnings Here is a summary of earnings reports for selected cable and satellite TV companies and what they reveal about the industry’s prospects: Oct. 21. AT&T Inc. said it added 236,000 subscribers to its U-Verse video service in the quarter, in line with the last two years. The phone company has been taking on cable companies, but doesn’t plan to offer TV everywhere it offers landline phone service. It ended the quarter with 2.7 million video subscribers. Oct. 22: Verizon Communications Inc. said it added 204,000 FiOS TV subscribers. Verizon now has more TV subscribers than Cablevision Systems Corp., the fifth-largest traditional cable company. Verizon ended the quarter with 3.3 million FiOS TV subscribers. Oct. 27: Comcast Corp.’s loss of cable video subscribers took a big jump, with a net loss of 275,000 compared with 132,000 a year ago. Comcast attributed much of the loss to customers who had taken advantage of low introductory rates that the company was offering last year during the transition to digital broadcast signals. Comcast is gaining from higher fees, as subscribers took advantage of pricier high-definition video and digital video recorder service. Comcast ended the quarter with 22.9 million video subscribers. Wednesday: Charter Communications Inc. lost 63,800 video subscribers to end the quarter at 4.7 million. Thursday: Time Warner Cable Inc. says it lost 155,000 video subscribers in the latest quarter to end with 12.6 million, compared with 64,000 a year ago, when the economy was worse. Cable TV providers usually compensate by upgrading basic subscribers to more expensive digital tiers, as well as adding broadband and phone subscribers. However, Time Warner Cable lost digital video subscribers and added a record-low 22,000 phone subscribers, meaning it lost overall “revenue-generating units,” an important measure in the industry. Cablevision Systems Corp. says it lost 24,500 video subscribers to end the quarter at 3.04 million. It added record-low number of new phone and broadband subscribers. Like Time Warner Cable, Cablevision lost digital video subscribers. Satellite TV operator DirecTV says its “free HD” promotion helped bring in new customers and reduce cancellations. DirecTV picked up 174,000 subscribers in the U.S. to end the quarter at 18.9 million. Friday: Dish Network Corp. says it lost about 29,000 net subscribers during the quarter, ending the period with about 14.3 million. — The AssoCiATed Press

among people who don’t have cable broadband services; high-speed Internet — from cable or a competitor — is key to watching video online. These people seem to be going to satellite or giving up on pay TV entirely. On the theory that college students might be among the
first to drop cable TV, the company looked at changes in subscriber figures in college towns such as Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio. They weren’t out of line with previous years, and they corresponded to the level of stu-

Evans has partnered with local proprietors Sandra Knox of Natural Hair Salon and candle maker Karen Garrison of Summerfield Naturals’. “The addition of a boutique was a natural extension of Ms. Knox’s beauty salon where women come for pampering and style,” Evans said. “Besides, being new to the area, she offered a sisterhood and captive audience per se, for the boutique giving me a local stamp of approval with her existing clientele.” To further extend her offering of personal care and relaxation, 100 percent soy based scented candles have been added. “It is vital that businesses partner together and support one another if revitalization efforts are to be successful,” Evans said. “The addition of these environmentally friendly candles add the perfect compliment to my accessory mix.” She also has a “literary corner” with books from $2-$7.

Wrenn House under new ownership BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Rowan County native Cassandra Bradley has purchased the Wrenn House and said she plans to expand the menu and hours. Bradley bought the restaurant at 115 S. Jackson St. this summer and will begin offering a buffet on Sundays and Fridays next week. Starting Nov. 14, the Wrenn House will have new Sunday hours — 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Fridays, the restaurant will offer a lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in addition to regular hours, she said. Bradley will keep favorite Wrenn House menu items in place while adding some new features, including spicy-dipped chicken. Bradley said she will expand the restaurant’s catering service and market the Wrenn House as a location for private parties and receptions. She does not charge a room fee, she said. “We’re here to provide great service,” she said. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Time Warner Cable lost 155,000 video subscribers in the July-September quarter, compared with 64,000 a year ago. The only larger cable company, Comcast Corp., reported last week that its subscriber loss more than doubled in the third quarter, to 275,000. Comcast said many of those leaving had taken advantage of low introductory rates that the company offered last year when the

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, income available to common shareholders was $12.2 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or 44 cents per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. The year-to-date results include the impact of gains from the acquisition of Beach First National Bank. In connection with the Beach First acquisition, the company entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC to get 80
percent of losses incurred from the acquired loans and foreclosed real estate reimbursed. Total assets were $2.18 billion, up $18.1 million, or 0.8 percent, from June 30. Compared to Sept. 30, 2009, total assets increased $475.4 million, or 27.9 percent. The increase was primarily due to the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Beach First. Headquartered in High Point, BNC Bancorp is the parent company of Bank of North Carolina.

Cable companies have been losing video subscribers for some time, but they have been compensating by upgrading basic subscribers to more expensive digital tiers, as well as adding broadband and phone subscribers. However, both Time Warner Cable and Cablevision Systems Corp. lost digital video subscribers in the third quarter. Both added record-low number of phone subscribers, as years of growth are coming to an end. Meanwhile, Netflix Inc.’s streaming service has become so popular that it is now the largest source of U.S. Internet traffic during peak evening hours, according to Sandvine Inc., a company that supplies trafficmanagement equipment.

Geithner seeks help in mending economy KYOTO, Japan (AP) — U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, meeting with counterparts from around the world Saturday, faces a tough task selling his formula for mending fissures in the global economy as nations seek ways to avoid another downturn. The two-day gathering of finance ministers from the 21member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC, follows a Group of 20 meeting last month in South Korea, where finance heads and central bankers vowed to avoid using their currencies as trade weapons. They also promised to establish a way to measure the reduction of destabilizing
associated press
U.s. treasury secretary timothy Geithner gathers with other world leaders in Japan. trade gaps, seen through figures such as surpluses and deficits in the current account — a broad indicator of a country’s trade and investment. At the heart of the problem is the huge gap between the United States, which buys far more than it sells to the rest of the world, and developing countries, such as China, which are running big trade surpluses. The Obama administration
says that China’s undervalued currency, the yuan, contributes to strains in the global economy because it gives Beijing an unfair trade boost by making Chinese goods cheaper in the U.S. and elsewhere. Meanwhile, emerging economies like Brazil blame both the U.S. and China for keeping their currencies weak. APEC is comprised of countries that border the Pacific Ocean, including advanced economies such as the U.S., Japan and Australia and emerging economies such as China, Vietnam and Mexico. Because this weekend’s APEC meeting is sandwiched between two G-20 gatherings, it will offer officials another opportunity to figure out how to spark the global economy. Geithner had pushed in a letter to last month’s G-20 meeting for a commitment to polices that would reduce current account and trade gaps “below a specified share” of gross domestic product “over the next few years.” Ultimately, however, the G-20 could only agree that progress would be “assessed
against indicative guidelines to be agreed,” reflecting the opposition of some export-reliant countries such as Japan. Exactly what those guidelines will be remains a point of contention, and it’s uncertain whether an agreement can be forged in time for the G-20 leaders summit on Nov. 11-12 in Seoul, South Korea. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak expressed optimism earlier this week that the G-20 leaders would make progress on the issue of targets. “Especially, I look forward to the leaders agreeing to an indicative guideline that will address the global imbalance,” he said, though provided no details. But a senior Treasury official suggested a longer timeframe, saying Tuesday in Washington that discussions would almost certainly stretch into 2011. Geithner would use APEC to reach out to the eight G-20 members in the group, as well as “a broader group of economies beyond the G-20, many of which have been pursuing export-led growth strategies that have resulted
in very large and persistent current account surpluses and significant accumulation of foreign currency reserves,” the official said.

Rolls-Royce loses stock value after Qantas fire SYDNEY (AP) — A day after a massive engine failure on the world’s largest jetliner, manufacturer Rolls-Royce watched a billion dollars vanish from its market value, while another of its engines on a different plane caught fire in flight. The Australian airline Qantas blamed the British aerospace company for the violent mid-flight disintegration on Thursday of an engine on the Airbus A380. Another Qantas plane equipped with RollsRoyce engines suffered an engine problem shortly after takeoff late Friday, producing a loud bang and shooting fire before it turned back to Singapore. Modern passenger jets are designed to fly after one or more engine failures, and both Qantas planes landed safely. On Thursday, one of the A380’s four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines failed minutes into a flight to Sydney, shedding pieces of metal over Indonesia before it returned to
make a safe emergency landing in Singapore. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said the problem was “most likely a material failure or some type of design issue” and not related to maintenance. Rolls-Royce Group PLC, a London-based aerospace, power systems and defense company separate from the car manufacturer, made no public comment. Its stock price took a beating for the second day, ending more than 5 percent lower. Experts said an engine flaw could be responsible, with one pointing to a shattered piece of turbine as the possible failure point. Qantas has six of the double-decker Airbus A380s, the world’s largest airliner. It is as tall as a seven-story building and capable of carrying 853 passengers, although most airlines use it for about 500. Twenty planes operated by Qantas, Lufthansa and Singa-
pore Airlines use the Trent 900 — a new, immensely powerful and highly complex piece of equipment as tall as a single-story house. The engine on the Qantas Airbus suffered what aviation experts call an uncontained engine failure, in which highenergy debris from the rotating parts break through the engine casing. Some of the pieces sliced into the plane’s wing. Such accidents, rare these days due to improvements in design and metallurgy, usually are caused by engines sucking in objects like runway debris or a bird, or maintenance crews failing to replace parts that wear out. Late Friday, a Sydneybound Qantas Boeing 747-400 fitted with four Rolls-Royce RB211-524G-T engines landed safely in Singapore after an engine caught fire minutes after taking off, the airline said. William Voss, head of the Flight Safety Foundation based in Alexandria, Virginia,

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2010 Veteran’s Day is a solemn occasion for us to pay tribute to those who gave us so much so we can continue to enjoy our freedom. ––––––––––– A Brief History of VETERAN’S DAY
–––––––––––
VETERANS DAY was born out of war at 11:00 a.m., November 11, 1918. The fighting of WWI ceased with the signing of an armistice. The uneasy peace after that event was hard won by those who fought in the trenches of Europe. Since then, American service members have been sent around the world to defend liberty in large conflicts and what some might term “brushfires.” This is a day to pull back from the workday and reflect on the sacrifices made by brave service men and women that have made America the envy of the world. It is time to say solemnly and sincerely, THANK YOU!

country singer Garth Brooks sold more than 140,000 tickets saturday for his concert to benefit Nashville, tenn., flood relief. the show ballooned from one to nine. his wife, Trisha Yearwood, his full band and unnamed guests. He’ll now play six shows in nine days from Dec. 16-22 with two shows on Dec. 16, 21 and 22. Tickets were $25 apiece and he raised $3.5 million for The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. May’s flood caused more than $2 billion in damage in Nashville alone and 22 people were killed by flooding in middle and west Tennessee.
Nashville’s music community was affected with the Grand Ole Opry house closed for five months and thousands of instruments were destroyed when a popular storage and rehearsal space where artists like Brad Paisley and Keith Urban housed their gear was swamped. There have been a series of benefit telethons and concerts since then hosted by country music stars like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Vince Gill.

Persons you’ve helped in the past will be looking for ways or means to square up accounts during the next solar cycle. A couple might do far more for you in return, but most will do what they can to equal what you did for them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Be on your toes, because that which occurs spontaneously can provide you with the best chances for personal gains. Someone you run into could become the catalyst. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - What serves you best is likely to be your optimism and your initiative, because you’ll become involved in endeavors where both will be greatly needed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It’s wonderful of you to be helpful to those in need, but you could diminish your good deed by broadcasting it to everybody who’ll listen. Let your humility prevail. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - There is nothing wrong with being charmingly assertive when there is someone around in whom you’re interested. If you haven’t made many points in the past, ride the winds of change. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Being competitive won’t be offensive to your friends if your tactics and procedures aren’t pushy or overwhelming. In fact, done right, your peers will try to imitate your methods later. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Try to associate with people whom you know usually stimulate your creativity, especially if your imagination has been a bit sluggish lately. It’ll do wonders for getting your juices flowing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you continue to use good judgment and sound methodology, your chances for success look better than ever, no matter what type of activity you find yourself involved in.

You might hear some good ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - This could be one of those days when being kind to others can generate unsolicited rewards, personal or otherwise. This can only happen, however, when your purpose is unselfishly motivated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You could be especially fortunate in developments where you are dealing mostly with members of the opposite gender. Your charms will be more alluring than usual and hard to resist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Even though the clock might say you are taking longer than usual in accomplishing your purposes, your stick-to-itiveness and determination will help you achieve whatever it is you want.

Garth Brooks’ benefit concert for Nashville sells out — 9 times NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Garth Brooks is going to be very busy in December. Brooks sold more than 140,000 tickets Saturday morning and his benefit concert for Nashville flood relief ballooned from one show to nine. “It’s great to be a part of the healing,” Brooks said in a news release. The release says the day’s sales set a record for tickets sold in Tennessee, besting a concert held by Michael Jackson at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville that drew more than 72,000 fans. Brooks initially retired about a decade ago to spend more time with his family, but demand for the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history remains high. The 48-year-old musician came out of retirement late last year, announcing a series of shows at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas that quickly sold out. The benefit concerts are his only arena shows this year and will include

York City. Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was freed Thursday after serving eight months in a gun case. Asked how it felt to be back, Wayne told the The Times-Picayune: “Like I nev-
er left.” Before his incarceration, the rapper recorded the recently released “I Am Not a Human Being,” a top debut on Billboard album charts. The newspaper said the rapper flew earlier Friday to
Yuma County, Ariz., to check in for a three-year stint of unsupervised probation for a drug conviction. Authorities said that case will be transferred to Florida, where the New Orleans native now lives.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — In a rehearsal studio one afternoon in 1986, a white South African musician wrote an international hit — partly in Zulu, the language of the largest ethnic group in the country. “Asimbonanga,” which means “we’ve never seen him,” the song refers to the generation of South Africans who grew up under apartheid and had never even seen a photograph of Nelson Mandela, the country’s hope for reconciliation who was imprisoned under South Africa’s apartheid regime. Johnny Clegg, later dubbed the “white Zulu,” was sure his song’s message would be lost. At the time, his new genre of music, a blend of Western pop and Zulu rhythms, was banned from the radio — as Mandela’s photo was banned from newspapers. Clegg’s concerts were routinely broken up, and he and other members of his multiracial band had been arrested several times for challenging a South African law meant to keep whites and blacks apart. “Asimbonanga,” in which the names of Mandela and other prisoners are spoken aloud in defiance of state radio rules of the time, was released in South Africa in 1986 and abroad a year later. The South African government immediately banned the video and restricted the song from radio
programming, so most South Africans only got to hear it a few years after its release. They embraced it. For the 57-year-old Clegg, the pinnacle of his career occurred while performing in Frankfurt a few years after Mandela was released and became the country’s first black president in 1994. Clegg began to sing “Asimbonanga,” which had quickly risen to the top of the charts. In the middle of the song, the Frankfurt crowd started cheering loudly. Clegg turned around and to his surprise, saw Mandela dancing on the stage. “I was taken by a wave of such amazing emotions,” Clegg told the Associated Press. “I wrote that in 1986, knowing it was going to be banned and not knowing he (Mandela) was ever going to be released.”

Oscar-nominated actress Jill Clayburgh dead at age 66 Associated Press Jill Clayburgh, the sophisticated Hollywood and Broadway actress known for portrayals of empowered women in a career spanning five decades, highlighted by her Oscar-nominated role of a divorcee exploring life after marriage in the 1978 film “An Unmarried Woman,� has died. She was 66. Her husband, Tony Awardwinning playwright David Rabe, said Clayburgh died Friday surrounded by her family at her home in Lakeville, Conn., after a 21-year battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. He said she dealt with the disease courageously, quietly and privately, “and made it into an opportunity for her children to grow and be human.� Clayburgh, alongside such peers as Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine and Jane Fonda, helped to usher in a new era for actresses in Hollywood by playing women who were confident and capable yet not completely flawless. Her dramatic turn as a divorcee exploring her sexuality after 16 years of marriage in “An Unmarried Woman� earned Clayburgh her first Oscar nod. “There was practically nothing for women to do on the screen in the 1950s and 1960s,� Clayburgh said in an interview with The Associated Press while promoting “An Unmarried Woman� in 1978. “Sure, Marilyn Monroe was great, but she had to play a one-sided character, a vulnerable sex object. It was a real fantasy.� The next year, Clayburgh was again nominated for an Academy Award for “Starting Over,� a comedy about a divorced man, played by Burt Reynolds, who falls in love but can’t get over his ex-wife. For the next 30 years, Clayburgh steadily appeared in films and on stage and television, often

Republican gets put on the spot BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
n Raleigh, former Rowan resident Phil Kirk experienced an awkward moment Tuesday when he went to wish a happy birthday to his wife, Margaret, who had gotten up early to man the polls. Kirk, a Republican who has held several posts in state government, ran into a prominent Democrat who wanted his vote. Kirk shared the experience in an e-mail: “As I walked to the door, several people tried to give me literature and I explained that I had already voted and why I was at the polls. One woman said ‘Vote Democratic.’ Without thinking, I yelled back, ‘Never.’ “While inside I felt a little guilty about yelling to the volunteer outside, so I planned to tell her on the way to my car that I occasionally voted for a few Democrats and to thank her for being a volunteer and supporting candidates with her time, etc.... “Imagine my surprise when I walked out and Elaine Marshall's campaign bus ... “After we hugged, I told her why I was at the polls and she made some comment about whether I had voted for her. I responded, ‘I voted for you for Secretary of State.’ (She was asking about Senate, of course). “So then she said something like, ‘Guess you didn’t vote for me for Senate?’ “I responded, ‘I voted a couple of weeks ago.’ “Then I suggested that there were people nearby who had not yet voted and she should be talking to them. “It was all in good fun and people around us were laughing. Glad there were no TV cameras. Wish we could have more ‘fun’ in politics!” • • • Sheriff Kevin Auten’s mother, Becky, and sister, Kelly Powlas of Charlotte, were among the eight people campaigning outside the West Innes polling place at Knox Middle School. “Yes, I’m the mother of that little guy,” Becky Auten said of her son, who wound up getting 72.7 percent of the votes in the sheriff’s race, defeating Democrat John Noble. Jeannie Moore of RowanCabarrus Community College was the first campaigner to take her post outside the Knox gym at 6:45 a.m. She was reminding voters to support the $12 million bond referendum for the college. The bond passed in the West Innes precinct 288-128 and overall 18,119 to 14,514.

wayne hinshaw/for the salisbury post
people line up at rowan public library for early voting in late october. total voter turnout in rowan for this election was 40.67 percent.
Wave or riptide? Changing electorate even turned General Assembly over Most of the signs at the polls were for local candidates, but national politics had a big impact on every level of elected office in the Nov. 2 vote. Nationally, 41 percent of voters identified themselves as conservative this year, up from 32-34 percent in the past three elections.
ow that the dust appears to be settling on the 2010 mid-term elections and before we start analyzing for the 2012 presidential election, let’s take a look at what all this might mean.
N
Observation 1: It wasn’t just the Tea Party, but independents as well. The exit polls seem to indicate a double-whammy for the party-in-power. While voters who identify with both major parties went back to 2004 norms, it was the ideological composition of the electorate that really stood out. For the past three elections, the ideology of the U.S. electorate remained stable — 20 percent of U.S. voters identified MICHAEL themselves as libBITZER erals, 44-47 percent identified as moderates, and 32-34 percent identified as conservatives. This year, conservatives ran their percentage up to 41, while moderates dropped to 39 percent. Early analysis may indicate that there were just more conservatives out there who showed up, while moderates (read independents) stayed home. But you have to look at party identification as well to make that judgment. U.S. voters who identified themselves as Republicans went from 37 percent of the electorate in ’04 to 32 percent in ’08, reflecting disenchantment with the GOP. This year, that number rebounded to 36 percent, tied with the Democratic percentage, leaving 28 percent identifying themselves as “independent.” But again, it was independents who made the difference, and they split 60/40 to the Republicans. More on that later. Observation 2: What happened to North Carolina’s competitive congressional districts? We thought all along that the endangered species, commonly known as Southern conservative Democrats, would be wiped out this
jon c. lakey/salisbury post
sheriff Kevin auten and district attorney-elect brandy Cook were among local republicans who won big on tuesday. year. Yes, South Carolina’s John Spratt was taken out, but Larry Kissell, Mike McIntyre and Heath Shuler all survived. The surprise of the night came with Democrat Bob “Who are you!” Etheridge in the second congressional district. So maybe the Republican wave didn’t hit North Carolina as hard as we thought at the federal level, but a rip current did have an effect at the state level. Observation 3: The rip tide pulled the N.C. General Assembly to the GOP. It was the undercurrent of the Republican wave — most identified with Rowan Coun-
ty’s own 77th House District — that is the biggest news coming out of 2010. Classic swing districts like the 77th are prone to being caught up in dramatic wave elections, but this one also pulled out a number of Democrats in “lean Democratic” districts in the state House and Senate. So, for the first time in 112 years, the GOP has complete control of the North Carolina General Assembly. And if there’s one election that every political party wants to win every 10 years, they will always take the one that occurs in a year ending in zero: because they get to redistrict.
With the power of redistricting, or redrawing the lines of the game, a political party can create “winnable” districts for their party and protect their incumbents, while at the same time making it difficult, if not impossible, for the minority party to regain majority status. In North Carolina, with the exception of getting the federal government’s approval, it’s in the hands of the GOP to redraw the lines of competition — and they will do it for their benefit. Thus, to the victor go the spoils, and this year’s spoil is gerrymandering. One more observation: 2010 was the third “change” election we’ve seen. While Republicans had a good evening, especially at the state and local level due to mobilization and straight ticket voting, my crystal ball is giving an early hint to 2012: Change may come again. If issues and concerns aren’t addressed, the American electorate (read: independents) is very willing to swing around until they find someone or some party that will address their concerns. In 2008, independents went 60/40 for Democrats—this year, they went 60/40 for Republicans. If neither party steps up to address issues, be careful of the swing in 2012. • • • Dr. Michael Bitzer is associate professor and chair of Catawba College’s Department of History and Politics.

Honor all the veterans who kept watch while we slept Don’t assume you know who they are or what they sacrificed This is a blog posting by Lt. Col. Rodger T. Duncan, a career Army officer currently stationed at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. Duncan is a graduate of East Rowan High (1975) and Appalachian State University.
AGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — I was trying to come up with a topic to write about, and a friend had pointed out that Veterans’ Day was just around the corner. I thought it was a great idea but wondered what I could really say about veterans. I didn’t want DUNCAN the piece to end up sounding like “Hey, look at me, I’m a vet!” I also wondered if maybe I was too close to the subject
B
to be objective, as I didn't want to end up getting too preachy about what we as a nation owe our veterans. So as I walked around the base here thinking about the topic, I decided that there really are a few things I’d like to say about veterans. There are things many of us don’t always think about when we hear that word, or as we enjoy that last long weekend before the weather turns cold. The day on which we celebrate and remember our veterans is a product of the first world war. Back then, it was called the Great War, as it was going to be the ultimate; the last really big war. It ended on the 11th hour of the
11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Humans, being what we are, made a second world war necessary. Let’s make sure there isn’t a third. Growing up as a baby boomer, veterans to me were the guys who served in WWII. All the good action movies of the time were about that war, and it was more current to those of us then than Vietnam is to us now. In the 1960s, when I was a kid, there were plenty of WWI vets still around, but I wasn’t aware of them. It was only after they had passed away and I grew up that I learned of those relatives who had served in the Great War.
Most veterans of war speak little of their service, although I wish I could sit down with them now and hear first-hand of whatever experiences they may wish to share. I assume they would be willing to speak to me about it, as I think my own service would have qualified me to be someone they could relate to. Now, I’m literally surrounded by veterans. You probably are, too. I know I am, because there are thousands on this base. Not just the ones in uniform, but many who are prior service, maybe retired, and working here as civilians. They don’t look like the vet-
erans I remember as a kid. Back then, they were my parents’ age or older, although people that “old” now look like me. Veterans don’t necessarily look like Rambo, either. If you were wondering what these vets look like, go out in public and take a look around. That’s what they look like. Veterans come in as wide a variety of ages and sizes as you can imagine. I was in line at the chow hall the other day and these two soldiers behind me were talking. Their conversation caught my ear, and I turned to look at them. They were both about shoul-

CAN DO DRIVE
Want to help? You ‘can do’ ive a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Confucius never said what should happen if the hard-working fisherman and fisherwoman lost their jobs because the fish migrated elsewhere and the bank repossessed their boat. But you don’t need profound wisdom to know that people need food first, before they can think about finding jobs and coping with their changed circumstances. That’s why the Salisbury Post is launching the Can Do Food Drive today, collecting food to split between Rowan Helping Ministries and the Salvation Army for their food pantries. It’s one easy way to help people who are struggling to get back on their feet after the recession knocked them down. Nationally, the recovery has started, and the jobless rate is slowly decreasing, but Rowan Helping Ministries and the Salvation Army still see steady streams of people needing help who never needed it before. People who are more accustomed to being on the giving end of charity now need help. The people of Salisbury and Rowan are used to rolling up their sleeves and tackling problems with a “can do” attitude. We can help our neighbors make it through a tough time if we approach filling these food pantries the same way — can do. So drop off your canned goods and other nonperishable foods in the Post lobby at 131 W. Innes St. between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. The Post will collect through Nov. 24 and deliver the goods to the agencies as we go along. We live in interesting times. Churches are filling backpacks with food for children who appear to go hungry on the weekend, when they can’t get breakfast and lunch at school. The best way to help the hungry longterm is to provide a solid education, grow good jobs and build up the local economy. That’s where political leaders put their focus. In the short term, though — November, December and the cold months of the approaching winter — hungry stomachs need more immediate help. We can do that. A jar of peanut butter, a box of rice and a can of stew would not make a big dent in your budget. But they could make a big difference to a family facing an empty cupboard.

nce again, the people have spoken, and their message was loud and clear. Rowan County is as conservative as they come. This year, that means all-Republican. Salisbury can feel like an island sometimes, and never more so than after a countywide election. None of the three RepubliELIZABETH cans re-elected to the Rowan COOK County Board of Commissioners Tuesday led the voting in city precincts. Bill Burgin, a former City Council member, got the most votes in seven of the city’s eight precincts, with fellow Democrat Leda Belk taking the eighth, West Ward III. Burgin also led the field in Spencer, and he was a close second to Belk in East Spencer, the only precinct she won. Some people say Burgin’s presence on City Council during the recent annexation fiasco did him in. The city backed down from a final vote and ditched the plan, but anti-annexation anger still glows like so much radioactive waste. It’s going to be around for a while. But no one with “Democrat” listed under his or her name won a partisan race in Rowan County this year. Burgin could have suited up in Revolutionary War attire and charged
City Council with a musket to fight annexation, and he still would have lost. The city vote went like this: Burgin, 2,690; Belk, 2,274; Chad Mitchell, 1,990; Jon Barber, 1,816; Jim Sides, 1,314. That won’t worry Mitchell, Barber and Sides much. Countywide, they won with vote totals of 24,623 and 21,820 and 18,745, respectively, by preliminary count. The city vote didn’t hurt them a bit. But it’s interesting to see that, behind Burgin and Belk, Salisbury voters put the most faith in Mitchell, Mr. Swing Vote. Sometimes he has voted with more conservative board members Carl Ford and Tina Hall (or Jim Sides), and sometimes he votes with Jon Barber and Raymond Coltrain. That’s pragmatic in some people’s eyes, and unpredictable to others. The city may lack leverage in votes, but Salisbury makes up a significant amount of the county’s tax base, and the city controls Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. So it’s hardly irrelevant. • • • Early voting makes it more difficult to analyze voting results. One-stop voters could cast ballots at any of the five one-stop polling places, so the geographic distribution of the votes is unclear. You’d be pretty safe assuming most people voting at the North, South, East and West area one-stop polls were from those parts of the county. But
6,593 people voted at the main branch of Rowan Public Library in downtown Salisbury, and they probably were not all city folk. In the commission race, the voters at the main library went for Mitchell, Barber and Burgin, in that order. Outside Salisbury, Spencer and East Spencer, Chad Mitchell led the voting in 30 out of the remaining 34 precincts. Barber won Cleveland and Franklin, with Mitchell just two or three votes behind. Barber also led in Mount Ulla and Unity by slightly bigger margins. The only place Sides led the voting was, curiously, the North One-Stop polling place. • • • Incumbent John Brindle, 38, led the voting in the register of deeds race in Salisbury, Spencer and East Spencer, as well as Ellis. The majority of voters — read, “the county” — chose Republican Harry Welch Jr., 63, to run this important office. So for the first time since 1970, the person heading the deeds office will be someone with no experience. And, for the first time in who knows how long, that person is a Republican. The “no experience” part has been done before. Jean Kirk Ramsey was a Security Bank employee when she first ran for register of deeds as a Democrat in 1970. She stayed at it until 1991, stepping down so employee Bobbie Earn-
hardt, also a Democrat, could take over. Earnhardt stepped down in 2008, and Brindle was appointed to take her place. He had been working in the office for four years. Everybody has to learn sometime, but Jean Ramsey is probably spinning in her grave at the thought of Harry Welch, owner of “Forever Young Productions,” running this office. One political observer speculates that Welch might have a message for local Republican leaders, such as “Oh, thee of little faith.” Or maybe he’ll take a line from Gomer Pyle. “Surprise, surprise, surprise.” Welch can thank Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the county’s 9,065 straight-party Republican voters for his victory. Jim Sides rode the Republican wave, too, but he was paddling hard the whole time — even before he became a candidate again. And Jon Barber — well, what can you say? In reference to his struggles with alcohol, he says voters were forgiving when they re-elected him last week. Actually, they were forgiving when they handed him a primary victory back in May. This fall, they were simply voting Republican. That’s the only explanation for an electorate that chooses opposites like Jon Barber and Jim Sides at the same time. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

Schools still lack merged Central Office Q: Why does the Rowan-Salisbury School System need a Central Office Building? A: In 1989, the Salisbury City Schools and the Rowan County Schools merged into one school system. The Salisbury City Schools had housed their systemwide employees in an office on Ellis Street, while the county school employees were located in a building on Long Street. The discussion began immediately that there was a need to consolidate city and county sysJUDY temwide emGRISSOM ployees into one building to assist in the transition to one school system. Twenty-one years later, the discussion is still taking place. There is no Central Office for all systemwide employees. Many times during those 21 years, the school board has come very close to reaching the goal of centralizing services only to have something derail the plans. Presently the school system has employees located in five different buildings throughout the county. The school system is renting space at one of the sites — an additional cost to
the system. Whenever new employees are hired, they find themselves having to travel to multiple sites to complete the requirements for employment. This is not an appealing advertisement for working in the school district. Having one central location would save the school system in travel reimbursements and travel time, rental of space, cost of telephone and computer services between buildings, and duplication of custodial, secretarial and receptionist services. Having one central site offers numerous opportunities to be more effective and more efficient. The facility at Long Street is over 85 years old. In 2008, structural consultants from Interface for Consulting Engineers examined the facility for continued usage as an office building. The report indicated that the structural integrity of the floor systems would be compromised with continued use and had exceeded safe usage. The Long Street office is the central nerve center for all computer and telephone serv-
ices in the district. Over the last few months, due to moisture and other problems in the building at Long Street, the computer service for the entire district literally shut down several times. Presently, the Long Street building needs more than $1.6 million in repairs and upgrades. Even with this massive amount of repairs, there will still be multiple office locations to house our central programs and employees. Building a Central Office for the employing of administrators is never popular with the public, even when there is a need for both. There seems to always be a lack of knowledge and understanding of how much Central Office employees directly benefit the staff and students at the schools or the amount of work that is required by state and federal mandates. The necessary roles of Central Office staff absolutely cannot be handled at the school level. Over the last four years, Central Office staff have written and received grants worth more than $10 million in addition to their increasing respon-
I personally do not see public funding being provided for this project. It will take interested private partnerships ....
sibilities with less staff, which more than offsets their cost. Many opponents of investing in a central site claim that the administrators want an expensive, plush facility. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that Central Office staff merely wants a safe and healthy environment in which to work. Because of the economic climate, building a Central Office will never be any less costly than the present time. Because the school system is currently not in a growth spurt, the need for new school buildings is not a pressing issue. However, the discussion of the need for a Central Office has been ongoing for 21 years, and I personally do not see public funding being provided for this project. It will take interested private partnerships to realize the dream of finally merging the former city and county school systems. In the meantime, the Rowan-Salisbury School System will have to address the health and safety issues at the Long Street office very soon. This effort will not be inexpensive but will be necessary if the building is to continue to be occupied. • • • Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

Obama in for fright of his life EW YORK — Two words: Narrative, schmarrative. Democrats have talked endlessly about the importance of narrative — missing in President Obama’s case. We’ve heard over and over about the lack of smart messaging and the president’s failure to communicate. If only Obama could better express himself, all would be well. Seriously? This is the same president whose soaring rhetoric once sent his ratings into the heavenly realm and who, after assuming office, KATHLEEN never stopped expressing himself. PARKER For months, he was everywhere. Talking, talking, talking. Admit it. How many times did you flip on the tube and say, “Omigod, he’s talking again”? Several teleprompters had to take early retirement from sheer exhaustion. Here’s a narrative: You can’t sell people what they don’t want, no matter how mellifluous your pitch. This is the clear message of the midterm elections, and who didn’t know? Only Democrats, apparently. They — the imperial “they” — say that the people weren’t voting against the president. Check. Most Americans don’t dislike the president, as in the person. Obama didn’t create this dismal economy, and most acknowledge that fact. But voters were clearly casting a ballot against his policies. And no, the tea partiers weren’t voting against his pigmentation, as my colleague Eugene Robinson suggested in a recent column. “Take back the country,” the popular tea party refrain, doesn’t mean reclaim it from “the black man.” It means reclaim it from a rogue government.
N
There were so many clues, even the clueless should have seen what was coming. In February 2009, Obama had an approval rating of 76 percent. Let me repeat that: 76 percent!!! Few but God poll better. Obviously, one can only go downhill from there, but you can’t pin the slide on racism. All those people didn’t suddenly realize their president was African-American and become racists. Are there racists in America? Sure. And some of them show up at tea party rallies. Say what you will about the tea party, and there’s plenty to say, but it is fundamentally unfair to say the tea partiers are racist. It is also just plain incorrect to say that opposition to Obama is anti-black. The election was a referendum on policies that are widely viewed as too overreaching and, therefore, ultimately, threatening to individual freedom. It’s that simple. The essential question that voters were answering was whether government or the private sector is better suited to create jobs. This is a question on which historians and economists disagree, but it was the crux of Tuesday’s election. At the risk of oversimplifying, the midterm bloodbath was a fight over capitalism. Whether candidates could properly articulate market arguments was less important than whether they understood that expanded government means less individual freedom. You don’t need a doctorate in Keynesian theory to get them apples. Obama’s declining popularity since his planet-realigning ascendancy is easy enough to graph. The dipping points in his approval ratings correspond to specific agenda items, such as the stimulus bill and health care reform. Interspersed among those major initiatives were red flags the size of Chile. In November 2009, New Jersey
and Virginia both elected Republican governors — Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell, respectively. These two elections were referendums on Obama’s agenda, specifically tied to health care. Then in January came Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts, another Democratic state, thundering into the Senate to fill the slot left vacant by Ted Kennedy’s death. That’s narrative for you. Yet somehow Democrats couldn’t see it. They turned a blind eye and did the very thing Americans loathe: telegraphed disdain for the misinformed masses and insisted that people would like what their government was doing for them once they understood it. Translation: Shut up and take your medicine. It was less than reassuring to hear House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tell a gathering of county officials: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Instead of hearing the people’s voices, Democrats and the White House doubled down and began to demonize the opposition. It was Rush Limbaugh’s fault. Fox News was the problem. John Boehner, today the presumptive speaker of the House, became a target du jour. In an echo of some of the tea party’s worst moments, the White House advanced the them-versus-us mantra.† They’re the problem. Except, alas, “they” were The People. And their voices were being ignored. For better or worse, our system of governance doesn’t include a monarchy. Obama didn’t need to be a better communicator. He needed to be a better listener.

f you are a city dweller, you take certain kinds of wildlife for granted — pigeons, squirrels, rats, raccoons, maybe the odd possum. But now urban deer have entered the bargain. “Infestation” may be too strong a word for it, but in my neighborhood they’re everywhere. We do not live in a tranquil rural community. DALE MCFEATTERS We live in what the real-estate people like to call a “close-in suburb,” meaning busy highways and within walking distance — if you care to walk, which I don’t — of a largish shopping center and a large government spy agency. This isn’t — or shouldn’t be — deer habitat. Yet coming back from the store we had to follow a large buck nonchalantly strolling down the middle of the street until he crossed over a front yard and went behind a house. There was no forest back there, just more houses. All deer look alike to me, so I couldn’t say whether this is the same buck that occasionally watches me from his resting place in our side yard when I come out to get the papers in the morning. I can identify one particular deer because it has three legs. I felt sorry for it until, having finished eating our flowers, he gracefully soared over a chest-high chain-link fence. We frequently have pairs and trios of deer parading through the cul-de-sac. They seem to know where they’re going. I’ve only hit one once. I was driving a big GMC Suburban that, fortunately, has a large, blunt front end. If I had been driving the Taurus wagon with its sloping front end, the deer would have come through the windshield and two of us would have been on the casualty list. A deer did hit me once. Actually, he just bumped the car as a half-dozen deer were navigating a stalled traffic jam on a major commuter route in Washington. I’ve never seen deer carnage like the carcasses strewn along I81 when my son was going to school in northeastern Pennsylvania. This was no fluke. According to figures compiled by The Washington Post, Pennsylvania leads the nation in deer-vehicle collisions, with 102,165 doing $342.6 million in damage. Maybe, if Darwin is right, one day natural selection will weed out the deer that are poor judges of traffic and we will have deer that know enough not to get in front of moving vehicles. That, however, won’t save our flowers and shrubs. — ScrippS Howard NewS Service.
LETTERS Partisanship dooms ‘we the people’ With the giant wave of Republicans sweeping through the House and various other political offices on Tuesday, many Americans believed that something might change for the better; that the American voice would finally be heard. Maybe, just maybe, the insanity of left-wing extremists and right-wing extremists would finally take heed to the nation's cries for real change and real help. Negative. Not even three days after the GOP busted the polls wide open, and a humbled president admitted he lost touch with the American public and vowed to work towards bipartisanship, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell decided that creating jobs, fixing the housing market and cutting spending were no longer the top priority. Then what is the No. 1 task for the Republican senator? Making sure he spends the next two years working toward the demise of President Obama. How can America expect to recover from this recession if Senator McConnell will not help the Senate work with Democrats? So I, as well as others, hope the senator will look past the party and extend his hand across the aisle for the sake of our country. However, at this time we should take a moment of silence as it becomes evident that “We the People” might not be heard for another two years if politicians continue to display the attitude from Senator McConnell. — Greg Hicks Salisbury

Del Mar College is very representative of the deeply imbedded problems we face as a nation. Professor Crisp is an educator who is totally ignorant of our political system, its history, and the nature of government itself. People like him have negatively influenced untold numbers of students who will greatly damage our future society. Professor Crisp, in classic, collectivist style, condemns those who distrust “big” government and would like to see limits on its power. To make his point, the teacher throws in select examples of proper functions of government to confuse his readers. He mentions highway functions, fire departments and the FDA. Never does he mention the federal system we have or the thousands of unconstitutional acts the Feds have enacted that we are burdened with daily. Neither does he remind us of the rampant government corruption and taxation that always follows. In typical socialist style, the professor speaks negatively of the free market and claims that it cannot solve our biggest problems. He rambles on to identify problems such as “global warming,” “growing inequity of wealth,” etc.
His most classic Marxist give-a-way comment is his reference to “the common good.” In spite of educators that preach the religion of total government, the worship of the collective over individual freedom and responsibility, many good people are rediscovering what made America great. And it certainly wasn’t government. Freedom, life, liberty and private property are the keys to prosperity. Our government was created to PROTECT these. But when our government is no longer limited or bound by rules, it will naturally proceed to snuff out all that made us the greatest country in the world. If Americans do not wake up to this Communist mindset that has afflicted us and reject faith in big government, the great America we have known is finished. — Steve Poteat Salisbury
On seeing drunk driver On Saturday, Oct. 30, I was headed down N.C. 152 toward Rockwell with my 12-year-old son and friend at 5:20 a.m. We came upon another truck that was driving very erratic. It was obvious that this driver is impaired. I watch as the truck runs two cars off the road as he crosses the center line and almost hits them head on. I immediately call 911. Dispatch connects me to the Highway Patrol, and the officer said that all officers were at the Magistrate’s Office and were unavailable. So I ask them to call ahead to Rockwell, and I was told they would do just that. I continue to follow this truck, trying to get him to stop and fearing that someone was going to get not only hurt, but killed. At this point we are in Rockwell
and the truck crosses the road, runs up on a curb and back across the center line and back across the lawn of the nursing home. I have called 911 again, wondering where the Rockwell police officer might be. Dispatch informed me that they could not get in contact with anyone at the Rockwell station. In the meantime, the truck comes out of the parking lot and goes straight across at the 152 intersection. This disappoints me that I can ride behind this truck for at least 15 minutes, call 911 twice and cannot get help from anyone. I am in no way bashing law enforcement, because I appreciate the job that they do. However, it does bother me that in a time of need no one was available, especially that early in the morning before most people are even awake. I pray that the truck got to where it was headed without causing harm to him or others. — Rodney Harrington China Grove

Schwarzenegger, said the current law paves the way for a green jobs boom. Silicon Valley tech firms and East Coast hedge fund managers outspent Texas oil refiners more than four-to-one to defeat the ballot measure. Here’s the funny thing about Jerry Brown. He’s a liberal, but he’s also an opportunist. He’s pivoted more in his career than Michael Jordon and Magic Johnson combined. When Californians in 1978 passed Prop. 13, which limited the growth of property taxes, Brown turned from outspoken foe to ardent supporter overnight. What happens when California’s greenhouse gas law strangles the state’s languishing economy, and drives up gas, energy and food prices — as the state’s own analysts have predicted? It’s a fair bet Brown pivots again. The old saying was, “As California goes, so goes the nation.” As this election showed, that’s no longer true. A crop of new Republican legislators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan will be redrawing the electoral map. Soon we will say, “As California goes, the nation goes opposite.” • • • Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis blog regularly at http://www.somewhatreasonable.com and http://joelmathis.blogspot.com.

Obama’s presidency produced change even his inner circle didn’t seem to believe in. Why else would they have failed to give us two years of visible, made-for-TV presidential leadership on voters’ top concern — jobs? Most likely they didn’t have much faith in their ability to fix it. But they were wrong. We should have seen our president convening can-do summits with Fortune 500 CEOs and small business owners. Obama rolling up his sleeves and working with them. Obama saying tell-uswhat-we-can-do — right now! — to convince you to stop hoarding profits and start creating jobs. Feeling leaderless or at least leader-lite, Americans grew to fear the fear itself of being trapped in a jobless recovery. It was a wave that swept the nation and in the age of nonstop cable and Internet news, it seemed like a tsunami. And the overarching lesson of Election 2010 became the toppling of an iconic Speaker of the House. No, not Nancy Pelosi — the late Tip O’Neill. His credo of “All politics is local” was just made obsolete. Until further notice: All politics is national. • • • Martin Schram writes political analysis for Scripps Howard News Service.

der high (and I’m not tall) and very young. To describe them better, let me say that the barrels of the rifles slung upside-down across their backs almost touched the ground. If I had seen them in the mall, I would have thought these girls might not be old enough to drive themselves home. Obviously, they are older than they looked since they are members of the U.S. Air Force, serving in Afghanistan. They are here because we need them, and they are veterans. There are a lot of other women veterans out there. Some had to wait a long time to receive their recognition. The Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of WW II were not initially afforded veteran status. Over one thousand served (selectively chosen from around 25,000 who volunteered), and 38 of them gave their lives while conducting such missions as ferrying aircraft and teaching young men how to fly. One of them, Evelyn Sharp, was the youngest person to receive a commercial pilot’s license when she earned the rating at age 18. At 20, she was an instructor pilot, and this was two years before the U.S. entered the war. When she was killed in the crash of a P-38 Lightning fighter plane, she was only 24 years old. In 1977 the WASP were finally given veteran status, and in 1984 they were all awarded the WWII Victory Medal. Last year Congress recognized these veterans by awarding the nearly 300 surviving members the Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the country. They were there when we needed them, and they are veterans. There is another group of veterans out there who are often overlooked. I’m not speaking of those of the Korean or Vietnam wars, although for a long time this was unfortunately the case. There is another group of veterans who served with pride, who went where they were told to go and did the jobs they were assigned to do. Their service was just as critical to securing our freedoms as the veterans we more easily remember. While many men and women served during war time, many more have served our country during peace. I actually heard someone refer to one of them as not being a “real” veteran because he had served between the wars. That person couldn’t be more wrong. The soldier, sailor, airman and marine who served during times of peace or whose assignments during war kept them out of the line of fire have also helped secure our freedom and ensure our safety. The peacetime veteran spent time away from family, lived in far away and often remote locations, regularly gave up the comforts of home we take for granted, and spent his or her time training for war in every kind of weather, in every kind of environment. Our military never sleeps, as someone is on duty 24/7, 365 days a year, and has been every year for the past 235 years. In the back of their mind was always the knowledge that at any time, on any day, they could be called upon to drop what they were doing and move quickly to the sound of the guns. They stood watch while we slept. What we owe them cannot be fully repaid. At the very least we need to remember and thank them. All of them. L

Coming-of-age with ghosts all around “Dogs,” by Abigail DeWitt. Lorimer Press. Davidson, N.C. 2010. 237 pp. $25.95. BY DEIRDRE PARKER SMITH dp1@salisburypost.com
n this coming-of-age story, “dogs,” by novelist Abigail DeWitt, you will meet a girl whose hopelessly dysfunctional family provides no leadership and little in the way of role models. And you will puzzle over the title, but we’ll get back to that. Molly Moore, the youngest of five children, is DEWITT born to a mismatched couple. Her father, a judge, found her mother in France during World War II. Her mother had just lost her family in the Paris bombings. Feeling pity and finding her somewhat attractive, the judge marries her and brings her to the U.S. The oldest children are twin girls, Young Republicans who seem to be modeled after Richard Nixon’s children. Ted is the lone boy — always miserable, disliked, displaced and viciously attacked by younger sister Babette, who ends up an alcoholic and sometimes addict who runs away to California. It is the Vietnam War era — peace or piece of mind were hard to find. And then there’s Molly, the girl who wants to make everything right. She loves Babette fiercely and it’s reciprocated; she barely knows the twins; Ted is an object of pity. Her well-respected father is a handsome man, well-read, kind to the lowly (or is it pity?). He has a reputation for trying to get prostitutes on a higher path. Molly’s mother is quiet, desperate, the way survivors of trauma tend to be. She saves money by cooking organ meats and wearing patched clothes. She collects clothes to send overseas to orphans and widows. She still has a strong French accent, which Molly loves. The novel opens after Judge Moore dies, years after he’s injured in an accident while giving a 14-year-old girl a ride home from the streets. That girl dies. And rumor blossoms. At the end of the book, you

SALISBURY POST
Reading and signing Author Abigail DeWitt will be at Literary Bookpost, 110 S. Main St., on Saturday, Nov. 13, 1:30 p.m., for a reading and signing of her new novel, “dogs.”
may wonder just what happened, why this story? The author tells Molly’s story in first person, from her pre-teens to her odd adulthood. Molly is likeable, but reading about her numerous lovers and multiple failures is sad. It’s a story of lost potential — maybe more appropriately, doomed potential. The title, “dogs,” has nothing to do with a heart-warming pet story. As a child, Molly has a dog, Buttercup, and lets him hump her. In high school, she is told she has a dog-face. As an adult, she adopts, then gives up a stray dog. Perhaps the author is referring to a common term for promiscuous women. Some people who survived the 1970s will recognize Molly, in themselves or in people they knew. She is the textbook model for a neglected child who turns to sex to feel loved, to validate her existence. When she’s a young teen, she makes out with as many as eight boys. She doesn’t understand why none of them call. She smokes, because her best friends smoke, and drinks, because every house has booze readily available, and shoplifts, for the thrill. The chilling quote at the end of the prologue hints at what’s to come: “He’s dead himself now — he died in the crook of my arm this morning — and now, if I want, I can prove what people only thought: assault, rape, reckless endangerment. But I knew it all before he died, before I had a bit of proof; I knew because I loved my father and because, when I was young, I was just like that fourteenyear-old girl.” It’s enough to drive the reader forward. Molly is the experienced girl who really knows nothing about emotion and seems terrified of the future. Her first serious boyfriend is con man Joe, whom she meets while at Harvard. He’s beautiful, at least to her, and she can barely breathe when they’re not together. That goes sour. This is a coming-of-age story.
Molly lives in suspended animation. She’s forever the 14year-old looking for love. Instead, she is promiscuous, always hungry for physical connection; for any acknowledgement that she is alive. She drops out of Harvard and becomes a maid. When she discovers she is pregnant for a second time and realizes the father could be one of five different men, she packs up, leaves Cambridge and ends up in a trailer in the North Carolina mountains, where, again, she is a maid, toting her son, Zimran Ignatius, to jobs in a basket. Crises follow crises, including the deadly accident involving her father and that 14-yearold. The girl is the child of Molly’s former best friend, Becky — that’s another long story. As a father, Judge Moore is little more than a bystander, urging Molly to succeed. She never meets his expectations, but he never scolds her. Has she been looking for another man
like him all this time? Molly’s love turns to acrid bitterness when she comes home to find her father in hospice care. Babette, the prodigal, has returned to care for him. But there are no reconciliations among the siblings, and the judge is secure in knowing Molly would do anything for him. Then he makes his confession, in a request to his daughter: Edit my diaries and publish them so my thoughts will be known. Molly’s suspicions are instantly confirmed. And here come the dogs again, in the last sentence of the novel, as Molly leaves the hospice for the last time: “The night cooled off a little and away in someone’s yard a dog barked steadily — some yappy thing — but I imagined hounds: strong and lovely and tirelessly leaping.” The novel is descriptive and moving; it reveals and conceals. How can we know each other at all?

We are now in the house, but that is not the end of the story. A new life has begun, but we don’t stand still. We need God’s “sanctifying grace” as we journey on. Christianity is a lifelong program of growth. It involves the deepening of our relation-

God waits for us to open the door so that he can enter every room of our lives to share with us the cleansing and renewal we all need. This helpful book will not only interest Christians who want to better understand the life, work and teaching of Wesley, but will be helpful to all who seek a better understanding of how God works in our lives and leads us to a living, growing and ever relevant faith in Jesus.

‘Art of’ series explores aspects of writing BY REBECCA HYDE Rowan Public Library
If you’re interested in the craft of writing, as a writer or a reader, you may want to look at the new “Art of” series, in which the art of criticism is used to illuminate the art of writing. Each book in the series explores an aspect of creative writing (syntax, description, time, poetic line). The authors are “contemporary practitioners impassioned by a singular craft issue.” Take, for instance, Mark Doty’s “The Art of Description: World into Word.” “It sounds like a simple thing, to say what you see,” he says, this poet who is known for his passionate search for the exact word and phrase, all the while recognizing that it is an exercise in naming the unsayable (“But try to find the words for the shades of a mottled sassafras leaf…”). Why bother to try to turn perception into words? To refuse silence, so that experience will not go unspoken? To match words to the world to give those words to someone else or to savor them for ourselves? “The pleasure of recognizing a described world is no small thing,” he concludes. Doty examines the poetry of Blake, Whitman, Bishop and others who capture sensory experiences that “leap toward transcendence,” like Bishop’s fish, caught, stared at and released (“The Fish”). In the last part of this engaging little book, Doty offers his lexicon “Description’s Alphabet.” He begins with “Art”: “Description is an ART to the degree that it gives us not just the world but the inner life of the witness.” He concludes with “A to Z”: I reach the end of my lexicon and feel that my effort to describe description is happily partial, partisan, a work of ad-
vocacy. ... I declare myself here on the side of the sensible, things as they are, the given, the incompletely knowable, never to get done or get it right or render it whole: ours to say and say.” Other titles in the series include Sven Birkert’s “The Art of Time in Memoir: Then, Again,” where he examines the impulse to write about the self and the art of the memoirist in assembling patterns of meaning in experience. In “The Art of Time in Fiction: As Long as It Takes,” Joan Silber illustrates the ways in which time is used as a technique in writing fiction: “A story can arrange events in any order it finds useful, but it does have to move between then and now and later.” In “The Art of Syntax: Rhythm of Thought, Rhythm of Song,” poet Ellen Bryant Voigt turns to music, “a helpful analog in any consideration of artistic language use.” Computer classes: Classes are free.

SALISBURY POST

Wesleyan Wisdom As a teacher, writer and pastor, the Rev. Don Haynes continues to pursue the call he received when he was 17 BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post
he Rev. Don Haynes has been a Methodist all his life. But he never really stopped to consider exactly what that means. Until now. This past spring, Haynes, adjunct professor at Hood Theological Seminary, published his first book, “On the Threshold of Grace: Methodist Fundamentals.” The book serves as a centerpiece for Bookfest 2010, which takes place at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the seminary, 1810 Lutheran Synod Drive. Haynes was ordained in 1954, and officially retired in 1999. His favorite church, he says, was First United Methodist Church in Salisbury. But, he admits, “I didn’t do retirement well.” So at 75, he’s part-time pastor at Kallam Grove Christian Church in Madison County, his home county, in addition to his teaching duties at Hood. In January, he’ll teach a course on Methodist church history. Even though Haynes doesn’t consider himself a “true Methodist scholar,” his book is in its second printing, having sold out of the first run of 2,000. Haynes says that the Methodist church has “doctrinal amnesia. We forgot what we believed.” He calls the Methodist church the “church of the middle way.” He likes the liturgy, the sacrament, the music, the teaching. Haynes comes from a long line of Methodists. His mother once told him, “As far back as we know, our people have been Methodists.” The book, he says, “is an effort to distinguish what doctrines the Methodists have lifted up.” Haynes notes that Pentecostal, Wesleyan, Nazarene and Church of God denominations have broken from the Methodists over the years. “They’re reaching a lot of people that we’re not reaching,” he notes. “Who are we and why are we no longer reaching unchurched people?” Haynes knows there is much brokenness in life today — fear, addiction, abuse. “These people so often don’t get to a church,” he says. “Like Jesus, we have to go where the people are.” John Wesley, founder of the Methodist church, based the denomination on “practical divinity,” which Haynes appreciates. “Faith is not practical,” he says, “unless we tie Sunday to Monday.” He likes the saying, “If your heart is my heart, give me your hand.” He likes the fact that the Methodist church is accepting of other baptisms. New members may simply join by letter for transfer. What he doesn’t like is the church’s long history of moving pastors around after only a few years in a congregation.
T
“Our strength has become a weakness,” Haynes says. “We have moved too much.” He says that this “parade of change” is definitely one reason for declining membership. Another, he says, is that Methodists are embarrassed about sharing their faith. Haynes’ book grew out of a biweekly column, “Wesleyan Wisdom,” that he writes for the United Methodist Reporter, based in Dallas, Texas. The publication has a circulation of 200,000, and last year, Haynes wrote seven consecutive columns about the fundamentals of the Methodist church. He got a lot of feedback. His editors asked him to convert these columns into a book, so the columns became chapters — in about three months’ time. Haynes admires the illustration on the front of the book, which shows a man walking toward light at the end of an alley. “As we go toward faith,” he says, “our life begins to focus.” He is pleased that Sunday school classes and small groups are using the book for study. Haynes was a natural to lead the bookfest, says Margaret Kluttz, Hood’s development officer. “Dr. Haynes is beloved at Hood,” Kluttz says. “When they write the history of Hood, he will be a part of it. We were very proud that one of our own at Hood has written this book.” Haynes calls himself a product of the “sawdust trail,” having attended a Methodist camp meeting as a youth of 16. “We had some really good preachers and some good singing,” he says of the 10-day event. On July 4, 1951, one of those preachers said, “If you’re willing to give your life to Christian service, come forward.” He did. But he got cold feet. He was asked to write himself a letter after that meeting, which he received in the mail on New Year’s Day and threw in the fire. “I couldn’t get away from it,” he admits. When he was 17, he says, “I just felt God was calling me to be a preacher.” He graduated from then High Point College and started his ministry at age 19 in a small country church. He later received a master’s degree in divinity from Duke University. He and wife Joan married in 1956. She was a school librarian for 30 years. The couple has three children and seven grandchildren. A grandson, now a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, plans to enter seminary. Haynes is thrilled — mainly because he’ll have someone with whom to share his extensive library. He confesses to be a “bookaholic.”

“I didn’t do retirement well.” THE REV. DON HAYNES Methodist minister and author
“I just bought some books a couple of hours ago,” he says, just a bit sheepishly. He responds to some three dozen e-mails generated by his weekly column. He and his wife are very active in the lives of their grandchildren, who live in Rocky Mount, Greensboro and Asheboro. If the children are in a dance recital or ball game, chances are the Hayneses are there. Haynes and his wife live on 3 1/2 acres in Asheboro, so he does a lot of yardwork. “I still love the dirt,” says Haynes, who does a bit of woodworking, too. He says he works about 40 hours a week at his “parttime” job. He drives the 53 miles to Rockingham County to have breakfast or lunch with parishioners and meet with church leaders. The church has 128 members, but the average attendance is 122. The congregation welcomed 31 new members this year. “Maintenance mode doesn’t suit me,” Haynes says. He teaches Sunday school and an evening Bible study, as well as preaching at the 11 a.m. service. “I’m among friends I’ve been with all my life,” Haynes says. “A prophet can be with honor in his own hometown.” For a review of Haynes’ book, see today’s Insight section. Freelance writer Susan Shinn lives in Salisbury.

Dear Amy: I have a “friend” who does not have a car and fairly regularly asks me to give him rides to and from a beach resort town. I go fairly regularly. The round trip is more than 250 miles and takes
Dear Resentful: I understand your frustration, but don’t understand your refusal to speak to this person about his behavior. Gossiping about this to mutual friends is rude if you haven’t been willing to speak with him. It is not petty to ask for gas money and because it is easy to calculate the mileage for this particular trip, the next time this friend asks to catch a ride, you say, “I’m happy to do this but only if you can share the cost. I figured it out and it comes to $30 for you for a round trip.” If you offer this polite and clear directive and he still stiffs you, I agree that the friendship should end. Dear Amy: “Ungrateful?” wanted a larger diamond ring from her husband, but he felt slighted. I had a similar experience. My husband gave me a very modest ring when we got engaged; later on when our fortunes improved I wanted something a little “blingier.” We took the old ring and incorporated it into a new setting.I love my husband and we both love the new ring. — Happy

Dear Looking: If attending services out of love for your wife with the goal of perhaps sharing in her spiritual journey isn’t a good enough reason to go to church, then I don’t know what is. You can check out the church she’s attending and then make up your mind on whether to continue, based on your own experience.
more than two hours each way. The problem is that while he sometimes offers to pay for gas or buy me dinner — which I tell him would be appreciated — he never actually does. It’s not that I need the money, but I feel unappreciated and taken advantage of. I would also feel embarrassed and petty if I were to ask directly for compensation and resent being put in the situation where I feel I should. I have decided that I really don’t want to be friends with this person anymore, but we run in the same social circles. I have shared my frustration about this to a couple of my closest friends who also know him. Should I suffer silently? Should I confront this person privately and tell them how I feel? Or should I wait until he asks me for another ride and simply say that I am unable to give him rides? — Resentful in DC

Dear Amy: My wife and I have been married for 34 years. When we met, neither of us had any religious affiliations, though I was raised Catholic. After about five years of marriage, she started attending services in our community. Since then she ASK has done quite a bit of “church AMY hopping.” Our children have been involved with her and have benefited from these associations, in my opinion. They are grown and successfully out on their own. I have been supportive and gone to Sunday services on important holidays but have not been involved with any of her church “families,” although we made friends with some of these congregants over the years, including one minister. Recently she has started attending services at yet another church and told me that this is the one for her, but I feel she is obviously still searching, spiritually. She told me that if I loved her enough then I would make the effort to participate in this new religious endeavor with her. I love her more than enough to do that but it would be meaningless to me and I feel out of place and a bit hypocritical in attending. If I’m not going for the right reasons then it feels wrong to me. But maybe going just for her is reason enough — though I feel as though I am being coerced. What’s your take? — Looking for Clarity

Catawba swimmer Ashley Owens,top, won a gold medal for the united states at the Beijing paralympic Games in 2008.
Catawba swimmer is Paralympian Catawba College’s Ashley Owens won gold in Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008 BY STEPHANIE COOK For The Salisbury Post
id you know there is a Paralympian within Catawba College’s student body? Ashley Owens, a sophomore psychology major from Stockbridge, Ga. and an athlete on the Catawba College swim team, has been competing in the Paralympic Games since she first made the team in 2003 at age 13; she competed in the 2004 competition in Athens, winning one gold and one bronze medal. Begun in 1948, the Paralympic Games are a major international multisport competition for athletes with physical disabilities. Like the regular Olympics, there are winter and summer Paralympic Games, each of which is held immediately following the Olympic Games. Ashley began swimming competitively at the age of 8 and has been hooked ever since. She has a cerebral palsy condition on the left side of her body that causes a coordination disorder. However, her small physical disadvantage does not slow her down whatsoever, and her best race in a Paralympic event proves it. While competing in Beijing in the 2008 games, Ashley swam the 100-meter freestyle at a very quick pace, clocking in at an impressive 1:01:57. She won a gold and a silver in Beijing. In the 2006 U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Championships, she set a new Pan American record in the 1500-meter freestyle, beating the old mark by more than 90 seconds. “I think by itself making Team USA is an accomplishment because it is so difficult to make,” Ashley says. “You have to be (one of the) top 3 in the world to make the team. I love being a part of it and wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Ashley Owens won a gold and a silver medal in Beijing. “I started in 2003 when I made the team at age 13. I love traveling; it has really made an impact on my life. I have met a lot of amazing people through it.” When asked why she chose to come to Catawba to study and compete on the swim team, Ashley answered, “I came to Catawba because I love the small school experience and the small community around it. I think Coach (Betsy) Graham is an amazing coach and an amazing person and I really like what she has done with the swim program. I think she is going to make it go a lot further, and I want to be a part of that.” Ashley noted that her favorite part of the swim team at Catawba is competing with teammates on the relays. “When one person succeeds,” Ashley says, “ I feel like everyone does because we train with each other twice a day, five times a week and see each other so often that we are like family.” After she earns her undergraduate degree and uses her four years of swimming eligibility, Ashley plans to pursue a master’s degree in special education. She admits she has not picked a school yet but isn’t wor-

As far as swimming after Catawba, Owens says she definitely wants to continue practicing her passion, but maybe not work at the sport as intensely as she is now. Owens’ goals for this season include making an “A” cut for NCAA Nation-
als and representing Catawba in the event. “I don’t think any females (from Catawba) have done that, so I’d really like to do that,” she says. She also says she wants to perform well so she will be ready to go to London for the 2012 Paralympic Games. When asked what a lot
of people don’t know about her, Ashley answered that she is an avid reader. She noted that her favorite author is James Patterson, but she said she is open to reading anything and everything. She also admitted to getting really nervous before races, but has her iPod on high and head-
phones in each ear blasting music to help calm her nerves before each individual contest. She has developed a good frame of mind going into each race: “Even if I don’t win (the individual race), I can’t be upset because I know I have tried my best going into it. Whatever happens happens.”
