EAST SPENCER — The East Spencer Fire Department faces $6,200 in fines for four safety and health citations issued Wednesday by the N.C. Department of Labor. After an inspection that began Oct. 12, the town and fire department were cited for two repeat serious violations and two nonserious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina. According to a report provided by the Labor Department, three of the citations deal with a piece of equipment called a respirator, which seals over a firefighter’s face to filter out smoke and toxic gases. The first serious citation states, “one firefighter had not been medically evaluated to determine his ability to use a respirator before he was fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace.” The second states that one firefighter had not been fit tested prior to using the respirator. “The fit test is to make sure that there’s a tight seal, and nothing can get in other than the clean air coming in through the filter apparatus,” said Neal O’Briant, public information officer with the N.C. Department of Labor. The two serious violations must be remedied by Nov. 18, and the proposed penalty for each one is $3,000. “The reason the penalties are so high is because they did have citations for these back

Young pilots join celebration of airport’s first 80 years BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
Young men such as James Goodnight and Zach Waddell represent the future of medium-sized airports such as Rowan County Airport, which celebrated its 80th birthday Thursday. Waddell, 22, already has been flying for four years, and he says these kinds of airports are important places for training new pilots and providing the social networking that’s so important in what has become his passion. Both he and Goodnight are in

school, going for their commercial rating, in hopes of some day becoming passenger airline pilots. “I wouldn’t do anything else,” Waddell said of flying. The friends stood Thursday next to the vintage Piper J-3 plane that 20-year-old Goodnight piloted from the 900-foot airstrip next to his parents’ home in Kannapolis. Goodnight, 20, said his late grandfather restored the two-seat Piper, which has been in the family since 1988. He parked it at the airport Thursday as part of the vintage planes and cars on display.

“It’s a fun plane to fly because it’s so simple,” said Goodnight, whose father is a pilot for US Airways. Goodnight planned to leave the Piper at the airport overnight because neither the plane nor his home airstrip has lights. He would take the 10-minute flight home today, Goodnight said. Waddell trained in a Cessna 182 through Alpha One Air Service, based at Rowan County Airport. “A lot of people don’t know we have an

Memory Drive for Alzheimer’s coming through Margaret Moody and her father Dick Lunney are combining their love for cars and compassion for others Saturday as they lead the 2010 Memory Drive-Cool Car Poker Rally to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association Western Carolina Chapter. The drive will start in Charlotte and end at the N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer, where Moody said local residents are invited to show their cars and join Memory Drive participants for lunch at 12:30 p.m. Working in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk taking place in Charlotte this weekend, this family of car enthusiasts came up with the idea to have a car rally in addition to the annual walk fundraiser.
To show support for the family of Moody’s husband and to spread awareness about the disease, Moody’s father suggested the memory drive. Lunney and Moody have coordinated the event. “Our family has not been directly affected by Alzheimer’s; however, my husband’s family has been devastated by the disease,” Moody said in a press release.“Instead of walking for the cause, we wanted to do something different: show off our cars!” Lunney gave his daughter an Austin Healey when she was 16 years old, and she still has that car. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, as many as 5.3 million Americans are living with the dis-
ease. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time and in the end is fatal. It is the sixthleading cause of death in the United States. The Memory Drive is a 65mile poker rally through Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Rowan counties. It will start in the parking lot of SouthPark Mall just off Fairview Road and Barclay Downs Drive in Charlotte. Beginning at 9 a.m., drivers can register, get a free continental breakfast and show off their cars to the more than 1,500 walkers expected to attend. Drivers will roll out at
10:15 a.m. after the Memory Walk opening ceremonies. Planned stops along the Memory Drive route are Willow Grove Retirement Living in Matthews, the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis and the VA Medical Center in Salisbury. The drive will end at the N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer, where drivers will have lunch and a chance for prizes. Registration is $40 for the event. This includes breakfast, lunch for two people, two T-shirts and a train ride at the N.C. Transportation Museum. Pre-registration is requested. For more information or to register, go to www.alz.org/ northcarolina or contact Moody at 704-941-9937 or Lunney at 704-948-1745. “We really want to raise

Millbridge Fall Festival: Saturday event to raise funds for elementary school CHINA GROVE — Bev Frost and Sabrina Caudill, volunteers who have led the golf tournament for Millbridge Elementary School for the past four years, have now focused their attention on the Millbridge Fall Festival, set for 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. The golf tournaments have raised more than $10,000 a year, and Frost and Caudill hope this event raises the same amount. The money will be earmarked for playground upgrades and a matching funds project. This fall festival will feature live bands, a live auction, silent auction, a petting zoo from Zootastic Park in Troutman, nearly two dozen vendors and food.
The silent auction, organized by faculty and staff, includes such things as the chance to be teacher for the day, participate in an afterschool Wii tournament, indulge in a spa pedicure and have dinner and a movie with your favorite teacher. Vendors will sell everything from makeup to jewelry to crafts to candles to Thirty-one purses to metal art and more. Hamburgers, hot dogs and barbecue will be prepared by parents and there will be a cake walk as well. “I think we have over 50 desserts for the cake walk,” Caudill says. “We try to get everything donated so everything we get

AIRPORT FROM 1a airport,” he complained. As part of Thursday’s birthday festivities, Larry Macon performed some aerial acrobatics in his Pitts Special biplane, which is based at the airport. Three men with close ties to Rowan aviation also reminisced at an evening program about the airport’s earlier days. They included Carl Sloop, Harold Mills and Howard Miller. The Rowan County Airport was dedicated as the Salisbury Airport on Nov. 11, 1930, and the county took over its operation late in that decade. Sloop, longtime secretary for the airport and a former county employee credited with helping it grow, said it took a Depression and World War II to get the Rowan County Airport going. The hangar used for Thursday’s program was built by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program, along with a dirt runway. During World War II, the young airport was home for a series of pilot training programs for the Navy and Army, which provided civilian instructors to teach military students how to fly. Mills, author of “Hangar Sweepings: Reflections of an Airport Bum,” said the training often went all day, making the airport a busy place during the war. Later, Roosevelt’s GI bill proved important to the airport because it paid to educate many of the World War II soldiers once they returned home. Some of the returning soldiers wanted to learn to fly. Sloop said it led to the establishment by Clay Swaim and George Brown of flight training schools. Swaim bought several Piper Cubs and built a successful business. Swaim’s daughter, Barbara, attended Thursday’s events at the airport. Through the years, in regards to the airport, Sloop said, “We’ve had some awful good people out here and some awful good county commissioners.” His one complaint with the county, Sloops said, was that it may have been too reactive and not as proactive as it should have been in building the airport. “We found out one thing,” Sloop

In the airport’s early days, pilots taking off and landing had to dodge “jack rabbits and mud puddles,” Mills said. But the airport was a great place for friendship and information — even the lowdown on local scandals. “It seemed like everybody knew what was going on,” said Mills, who would go on to a 23-year career in the Air Force. Mills could only remember two fatal crashes at the airport over the years, and he said his experience working at the airport taught him important lessons in responsibility, knowing that lives depended on his doing his maintenance jobs well. Miller, whose family established Miller Airpark in western Rowan County, is a longtime friend of Rowan County Airport and one of the county’s most accomplished pilots. Miller has been flying since the end
of World War II and earned captain’s ratings on all manner of aircraft, including Boeing jets. He has flown for Holly Farms, Krispy Kreme, Piedmont Airlines, United Coal Co., Michael Waltrip, Harry Gant and, in the entertainment industry, piloted jets for the U.S. and world tours of acts such as Neil Diamond, Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson. The Jackson European tour spanned four months, 10 countries and 30 cities. Part of Miller’s training came years ago at the Rowan airport. This weekend, Ron Schreck of Gold Hill will be flying in formation classes with close to 40 other pilots of RV planes at the Rowan County Airport. A retired Air Force fighter pilot and a former US Airways pilot, Schreck completed building his own RV-8 — “Miss Lizzy” — in 2006. He now takes part in Team RV, which performs in air shows. Miss Lizzy, named for Schreck’s 9year-old granddaughter, was on display Thursday. The RV pilots will be here for ground and air schools Friday, Saturday and Sunday, flying in from as far away as Kansas City and Texas. "People don’t realize how much an airport brings to a community until they lose it,” Schreck said.
illness records were requested on Oct. 14 and again on Oct. 19, but were not given to the Labor Department. The citation is for either not providing records within four hours or not maintaining required records of fatalities, injuries and illnesses. “The question is, did they have them and not provide them, or did they not maintain them?” O’Briant asked. Either way, the proposed penalty is $200, and the violation must be remedied by Nov. 18. The town has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to take action. It can choose to pay the penalties, or it may request an informal conference with the
Labor Department to try to reach a settlement. The town also can appeal and file a notice of contest with the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission of North Carolina. Calls to East Spencer Mayor John Cowan on Wednesday and Thursday were not returned, and fire officials were not available for comment by press time Thursday. Members of the town’s board of aldermen said they did not know about the investigation or the citations. “I’m on the fire committee, and I haven’t heard of it,” said Alderman John Noble. “We should know about this.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

Salisbury Academy assembly honors those who served Salisbury Academy honored veterans at an annual assembly Thursday. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Heyward Stackhouse was the special guest and speaker. Stackhouse traveled with his family to Salisbury from their home near Washington, D.C. specifically to speak at this special event. Stackhouse is the uncle of Salisbury Academy first grade student Sterling Elliot, son of Heather and Stan Elliot. “Veterans Day is a day set aside every November to celebrate and remember those men and women who served and continue to serve this great nation of ours,� Stackhouse told the students. “Our veterans and soldiers protect submitted photo our Constitution and make it Retired u.s.

Students were reminded of ways that they can honor and show appreciation to veterans on a daily basis, including attending school regularly, studying hard, respecting others, volunteering in the community, and most importantly spending time speaking with a veteran. Colonel Stackhouse assured the crowd that veterans will almost always have a story they are willing to tell. In addition, Colonel Stackhouse and the students took a moment to honor the veterans that were in attendance and to remember their loved ones that are currently serving overseas. Stackhouse has served throughout the country and the world at several bases, and has served with The Joint Chiefs of Staff and at the Pen-
tagon. He has received several awards and decorations, which include the Bronze Star Medal, The Legion of Merit, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with First Oak Leaf Cluster, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, the Army Superior Unit Award, the Good Conduct Medal, The National Defense Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the Parachutist badge, and the Joint Staff Identification badge.

Former president Bush says,‘We’re all Americans’ DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Former president George W. Bush said Thursday he’s enjoying being away from politics and won’t get involved in current debates about his successor or Washington. “I will not be criticizing President (Barack) Obama,� Bush told a Veterans Day tribute audience. “As a matter of fact, we wish him well. We’re all Americans, and we want to succeed.� He said he didn’t miss Washington, “all the politics, all the name calling ... the spitballs.� But he told some 1,500 people, many of them veterans, at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio that he does miss serving as commander in chief. With interviews and speeches, Bush has been vigorously promoting his newly released memoir “Decision Points. He focused his speech Thursday on parts of the book dealing with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the support and inspiration he drew from wounded warriors, families of those killed during his presidency, and the military. “America is a magnificent country that produces patriots,� he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bruce Willis, famous for his movie roles, believes the real stars are the military and veterans. In honor of Veterans Day, the actor threw a party Thursday for hundreds of veterans on board the USS Intrepid, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that has been converted into a museum in New York City.
Willis says supporting veterans isn’t about politics but about freedom, and he wants to recognize the men and women who’ve sacrificed their lives for Americans. He says “there’s no country like� the United States and that when he travels the world, he always loves “coming home.�

Festive brilliance Crews transform speedway into holiday light show CONCORD — As always with the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the first “Carolina Christmas” drive-through light park and village will be about the wow factor. This won’t be another McAdenville or Tanglewood. This is show biz. Its 42-night run will extend from Nov. 22 to Jan. 2, 2011 — 6 to 10 nightly. Mike Miller, president of Salisbury-based Miller Davis Inc., says Charlotte Motor Speedway strives to make its venue the best place to see a NASCAR race. So his company and speedway officials are trying to create “the greatest place to see MARK the lights,” Miller says. WINEKA Think of Clark Griswold’s house in “Christmas Vacation,” and take it times a thousand. “We have to make it spectacular,” Miller says, because at the speedway, that’s the way things are done. Admission will be $20 per passenger vehicle. Just the 2.5-mile length of the drivethrough park and the milLED lion lights that will be part of the attraction should be enough to pique a family’s interest, says Marcus Smith, president and general manager of the speedway. The scary part is they’re holding back. “This is the year we’re learning and taking it very cautiously,” Miller says. Even so, the attraction will include the country’s second largest lights-to-music show along the main grandstand, and parts of the drive-through will allow visitors to travel on the apron of the fabled track and along pit road. Five theme areas of lights in the infield will include The Night Before Christmas, Toyland, Candyland, Rudolph’s Flight School and Victorian Village. For visitors who want to stop and stay longer, there will be a 40by 100-foot skating rink (and skate rentals) in the garage area, and an expansive Bethlehem Village with a two-story entrance and a three-story inn with a big nativity scene and live actors. On stage nightly, local choral groups will be singing. There will be Kris Kringle campfires for families to gather around and roast marshmallows and chances to have photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus in many different settings. A “Festival of Trees” will have 100 decorated Christmas

Pfeiffer picks new leader Pfeiffer University News Service
Pfeiffer University has named veteran banker and North Carolina native Michael C. Miller its next president. Miller, 59, will officially begin his new role as the university’s ninth leader on Dec. 1. Pfeiffer University Board of Trustees Chairman Greg Hunter officially announced Miller’s appointment Thursday. He also thanked the presidential search committee for their service during the fourmonth selection process. Miller’s appointment was approved by the university’s trustees on Nov. 10 during a special board session. “Mike’s experience as a business leader, attorney, entrepreneur and community advocate has led organizations to success and will expose Pfeiffer to a unique set of leadership s k i l l s , ” MILLER Hunter said. “His ties to the region and the state make him uniquely qualified. He possesses the qualities, vision and expertise to lead this institution, and we are excited about Pfeiffer University’s future with Mike at the helm.” Miller has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience. The attorney, who was former president and CEO of CommunityONE Bank based in Asheboro, led its growth from a single county bank to an organization with more than $2 billion in assets with 45 offices in 18 counties. “I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the PfeifJON C.

C.I. Jones are given most of the credit for organizing the Kiwanis Club of Salisbury in 1920. The men met with a group of Kiwanians from Charlotte to find out about requirements for chartering a club. They made a list of potential members to invite. After “considerable effort” the club was organized with 65 charter members, with C.I. Jones as the first president, and Summersett as the first secretary. The 90th anniversary banquet will
be at the Salisbury Country Club with festivities beginning at 6:30 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. dinner. The event is open to Kiwanis family members including past members and spouses. During recent weekly meetings, members have reflected on the club’s history. At this week’s meeting, veteran Clarence Beaver will present a program on his Army service during the Korean War. In its early days, Dr. Charles W.
Armstrong, a charter member, established a project of helping children with tuberculosis through a camp and preventive education. He would later go on to become international president in 1947. In 1929, the club established a “preventorium” summer camp on the grounds of the old country club, now the location of the Hefner VA Medical Center. The clubhouse was des-

According to Lt. Steve Belk of the Kannapolis Police Department, numerous prescription pills were found in the home Curtis Eugene Saunders, 38, of 709 Pine St. Saunders was charged with a felony probation violation, trafficking heroin and possession of a schedule III controlled substance. He was placed in the Rowan County jail under a $25,000 secured bond.

Jennifer Michelle Glover, 35, of 1170 N.C. 152 E., China Grove, and her daughter, Mercedes Nicole Goodwin, 19, of 1150 N.C. 152 E., were both cited with misdemeanor larceny. The loss-prevention officer at Kohl’s told police the mother and daughter were acting suspiciously as they were entering the dressing rooms several times. Police said they were putting $185 worth of clothing in their purses. When approached by loss prevention, Glover and Goodwin admitted to taking the clothing, police said. The two were cited, but not arrested, so no bond was necessary.

For people who want to forge maybe an even stronger memory, they can shun their vehicles and take a horsedrawn carriage ride through the attraction instead. “We feel like it will very much grow to be a huge tradition in the Carolinas for years to come,” Miller says of the light park, for which Miller Davis Inc. has a three-year commitment. Miller Davis and Charlotte Motor Speedway officials have set 60,000 vehicles as a goal for this year. They think that is conservative. Pat Pearson of Miller Davis offered a tour this week through the track’s infield, where frames of light displays are going up. Pearson promises that from the moment visitors enter the track’s back tunnel (extended an extra 200 feet with lights), they will meet what he describes as a “sensory overload.” A highlight will be a 20,000square-foot net light display spreading across the main grandstand and synchronized to music. It was built and engineered specifically for the speedway. Duane Groet, general manager for Winterland Inc., says Carolina Christmas is the first combination of a light show with a drive-through park. Two technicians — one with computer expertise; the other, musically inclined — are managing 250 different components connected to the grandstand light show, which vehicles will actually drive beside during a stretch of their journey. “We call them our computer nerd and our rock star,” Groet says.

From the humble beginnings of one pot cooked over an open fire, to pots cooked on the porch of the Lions’ Den, the event has been a time for community fellowship. In the early days, people would come to eat and visit, but today’s emphasis is on take-out service that allows people to stock their freezers for a quick meal in the upcoming winter nights ahead. The cost for dining in will be $5 per person, and $6 per quart for take-out. The cost for a half-gallon is $11, and $17 for three quarters and $20 for a gallon.

NEW RECORDS LAW IS RETROACTIVE
Public has right to know .C. Attorney General Roy Cooper has issued an advisory opinion that comes down on the side of transparency — just as lawmakers intended — concerning government employees’ personnel information. His opinion is a victory for greater government accountability. Before the law went into effect Oct. 1, the public was able to learn public employees’ current salaries but not much more. If a citizen wanted details on raises a government employee received through the years — or why, for example, a police officer or teacher was dismissed — a wall of confidentiality went up. The Act to Strengthen Transparency of Government does not completely open personnel files, but it does grant the public access to information that will greatly increase understanding of what’s going on in government: • The date and amount of each increase or decrease in the employee’s salary with the employer. • The date and type of each promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation or other change in position classification. • The reasons for each promotion. • Date and type of each dismissal, suspension or demotion for disciplinary reasons taken against the employee. • In dismissals for disciplinary reasons, a copy of the written notice of dismissal setting forth the specific acts or omissions that prompted the action. The law is retroactive in the sense that public agencies are now required to share information about past raises, promotions, etc. of which they have records. Some officials had interpreted the bill to only apply to personnel actions that take place after Oct. 1. Here’s an excerpt from the attorney general’s opinion: “... if records presently maintained by an employer include the information concerning promotions described in the amendments, we believe the General Assembly intended for such information to now be made available for inspection in accordance with G.S. 126-23(c). This conclusion does not require employers to retroactively create documents or information. Rather, the Act simply expands the amount of existing information which public employers are required to make available for inspection.” Government employees may be uncomfortable with the public’s prying eyes having access to more information about them than private companies will divulge. But the public has the right to know how their money is spent and how government is managed. Opening these records could bring more accountability to personnel practices in government, something that could benefit the employees in the long run, too.

Moderately confused
LETTERS Perfect justice isn’t possible for humans Having read Leonard Pitts’ column titled “Our death penalty addiction” (Nov. 10), I don’t think “addiction” is an accurate observation. His article was about a man who spent 18 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit. He was on death row 12 years and, fortunately for him, was never executed. Unfortunately, this happens in America. You see, the problem is, we are human, subject to mistakes, and we make them until the day we die. We are not God, and we are not omniscient, omnipotent or omnipresent, that is, all knowing, all powerful or everywhere present. But, we are called to do the best we can, and when we realize we have made a mistake, we ask forgiveness and make amends the best we can.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
ALEIGH — It was a week before the election, and Tom Fetzer had called another news conference to lob grenades at Democrats. “I predict that she (Gov. Beverly Perdue) won’t run for re-election,” the chairman of the state Republican Party said. Fetzer went on to say that he expected Perdue either wouldn’t be in office in the SCOTT of 2012 or MOONEYHAM fall would be so badly damaged by events swirling around her that she would choose not to run. His comments followed news that a federal grand jury had been hearing testimony about the Perdue campaign’s unreported air travel and its broader campaign finances. Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby had already announced a state investigation into the campaign flights. Nonetheless, the prediction seemed pretty bold. The Perdue camp’s air travel woes had been in the news for a while. She and her campaign staff had tried to make amends by disclosing flights, reimbursing companies and paying fines. None of the allegations, already considered by the state Board of Election, had her personally profiting. Democratic Party officials had also rolled out evidence indicating that Republican gubernatorial hopefuls had failed to report air travel, though on a much smaller scale. Marc Farinella, a spokesman for the Perdue campaign, dismissed Fetzer’s words as pre-election bluster. “What else would you expect the Republican Party chairman to say a week before an election? His job is to offer up partisan nonsense,” Farinella said. Farinella may be right. Perdue shows no signs now that she won’t seek another term. She’s scheduled a political fundraiser in Charlotte for next week. Or, perhaps Fetzer knows more than he’s publicly stating. Whatever the case, the election is over now. The time has come for the perpetual investigations of the executive branch of North Carolina government to either produce evidence of wrongdoing and indictments, or for federal prosecutors to move on. George Holding, the federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of North Carolina who has been heading the investigations of the Easley and now the Perdue administrations, is on borrowed time. He’s a holdover from the Bush administration. So far, the probe of the Easley administration has produced one indictment and one guilty plea, by former Easley lawyer Ruffin Poole, to a single count of income tax evasion. The Easley investigation has gone on for nearly two years. Holding et al need to show their hand, with more indictments or by scheduling a sentencing hearing for Poole. The latter would signal that prosecutors don’t have the evidence to proceed against Easley. As for Perdue, if allegations of wrongdoing extend beyond the non-disclosure of campaign airplane flights, they should be investigated thoroughly. On the other hand, if this latest federal grand jury investigation is just another look at flights for which the Perdue campaign has already paid civil fines, what’s the point? The bungling of the campaign flights has already weakened Perdue politically. Trying to make them a federal crime will prove a legal dead end. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

The problem I have with Mr. Pitts’ article is that on the one hand he is calling for absolute perfection in judgment, which is not possible. And on the other hand, what? What would he have us do? Is there no crime so horrible, gruesome or grisly that does not demand appropriate action by a civilized society? Must we feed, cloth, house and protect these people for the rest of their lives in jail? Who then is to pay this upkeep? All the rest of us pay. I want to call for a vote on that. Another way might be to prosecute those who would
bend the law or even break the law to achieve a conviction of someone only suspected of the crime. How do we protect ourselves against those who exhibit barbaric behavior? Turn the other cheek, if we live, and rehabilitate the degenerates? Anthony Graves was deprived of his freedom not because of death penalty advocates but by a man, it appears, who achieved a guilty verdict by selectively hiding evidence during the trial. That’s the man we should seek to punish, not the rest of us. — Richard Roberts Kannapolis

ANNIVERSARY FROM 4A ignated to three tents where 30 children spent the first summer there. A building was later built on the site. According to club history, the “health camp” as it was called, was moved to a farm house on Old Concord Road, the present site of the County Agricultural building. In 1960, the club bought property on Bringle Ferry Road. The camp property was first used in July 1961. In 1986, the club established a fund to help with maintenance of the camp facilities. As part of the club’s 75th anniversary in 1995, the club created a three-year plan to renovate the existing facilities and add new equipment. Some of the plans for renovation were successful. In 2009, the club voted to borrow $30,000 to buy an adjacent tract of land for $40,000, giving the club’s camp property a total size of 10 acres. “We are launching a capital campaign for the Kiwanis camp on Bringle Ferry,” said President Todd Hildebrand. The property is currently used as summer camp for the YMCA. “We would like to use it for other things like for a boys and girls club,” he said. In October, the club established its first annual “Halloween Trail of Terror” at the

Community pep rally supports North Rowan BY DUSTI KEMPF For the Salisbury Post
SPENCER — Embers and excitement filled the air Thursday night as the North Rowan Cavaliers celebrated their advancement into the football playoffs with a pep rally and bonfire in the Park Plaza parking lot. The Cavaliers will play their first home playoff game since 2006 at 7:30 p.m. against West Montgomery High School. “It’s a celebration to get the guys pumped up for the game” said varsity cheerleader Brittany Cheshire. North Rowan’s representative on the school board, Richard Miller, opened the ceremony with words of encouragement. Other guest speakers included Mayor Jody Everhardt and Booster Club President Mark Jennings. The Booster Club was responsible for organizing the
pep rally, and the Spencer police and fire departments helped, along with donations for the lights and burning material, and the permission of Henry Alexander to use the Park Plaza. “It’s amazing how fast it all came together in just a week’s time,” Jennings said. “It’s so nice when the community is willing to support our schools.” About 250 supporters came out to enjoy performances by the cheerleaders, the color guard and the marching band. “It’s something good the Booster Club is doing to get them in the spirit and we just wanted to come support,” said Elaine Davis, whose son is a freshman baseball player at North Rowan. The game will be the first of four games the Cavaliers would need to win to advance to the state final. Contact Dusti Kempf at 704-791-8635.
De Laurentiis, last of movie moguls, dies NEW YORK (AP) — He was a small man who dreamed big, hit the highest heights and failed like few others. Dino De Laurentiis was born to be a movie producer. The Academy Award-winning legend of the Italian New Wave and producer of “Serpico” and “Barbarella” who helped revolutionize the way movies are bankrolled and helped personify the no-limits life of a cinematic king, died Wednesday night at the age of 91 in Beverly Hills. His dozens of credits included the art-house classics “La Strada” and “Nights of Cabiria,” the cult favorite “Blue Velvet,” the Hollywood epics “War and Peace” and “The Bible,” and such mainstream hits as “Three Days of the Condor.” He backed horror films (“Halloween 2”), police drama (“Serpico”) and the most far-out science fiction fused with sex and sexuality (“Barbarella”). And when he bombed, he
really bombed: “Dune,” about which director David Lynch complained he was denied creative control; the Madonna vehicle “Body of Evidence”; the 1976 remake of “King, Kong,” which nearly finished off the career of Jessica Lange before it really started. De Laurentiis was one of the first producers to understand the box-office potential of foreign audiences, and helped invent international coproductions, raising money by pre-selling distribution rights outside North America. He was tiny, but tough, a veritable Napoleon on the set and utterly tireless. “Such a little lion,” was how his second wife, producer Martha De Laurentiis, put it when he turned 80. Throughout his career, he alternated lavish, big-budget productions with less commercial films by directors such as Robert Altman and Ingmar Bergman,

nis tournament in the summer. ••• The Salisbury Club also has a new suborganization, the Aktion Club, which sponsors adults with disabilities at Rowan Vocational Opportunities. “They do their own fundraising and conduct their own meetings,” Hildebrand said. The club is also in the process of forming a young professionals satellite club. The young professionals club would have the same full voting rights as the Salisbury Kiwanis Club. It will be a fellowship and fun type club with a services oriented arm, Hildebrand said. The members would meet once a month in the evenings. It would have a service capacity with Key Clubs and Aktion clubs. The satellite club would determine its own service projects or assist the Salisbury Kiwanis with service projects. “We are looking for a way to connect with others in the community and have them participate in service oriented activities,” Hildebrand said. There will be minimal dues and the young professionals would be for people ages 18 and older. For more information about the young professionals club, contact Todd Hildebrand at 704-239-4883. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-7970-4253.
••• The effort to raise awareness about tuberculosis in the early years waned and children’s orthopedic problems were addressed. The club later took up the cause of eliminating speech defects. Today, the club actively carries out the international mission of “serving the children of the world,” Hildebrand said. The club’s current platform is partnering with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. “It’s a preventable thing,” Hildebrand said. The club is raising money to make tetanus vaccinations available for those most at risk. Most of the mothers and newborns who die of maternal and neonatal tetanus live in 40 countries in Africa, in Southern and East Asia. “For us to buy them and put them in those areas may cost 60 cent. UNICEF has the distribution part,” Hildebrand said. The club’s goal is to raise $125 million internationally in five to seven years. The club’s members support various community projects and organizations through its annual pancake fundraiser, fall trick-or-treat program, the Kiwanis Camp, its support of the Rowan United Way where they raised $1,100 to $1,300, the Little League, the Salvation Army, also provides scholarships and hosts the Junior Kiwanis ten-

FROM 1A his heroism. He also received a Purple Heart for wounds he suffered in action while serving. “I got cut up real bad by a grenade that shot through a window,” he said. Waller didn’t stop to have his cuts tended to, but he continued on. “I kept on going,” he said. He served during World War II from August 1944 to April 1946. Most years, Waller watches the parade pass by with friend Jo Ann Stubben and her granddaughter, Megan Jordan. They traveled from Davidson County to be with him. Russell Mutz, a teacher at Southeast Middle School, brought his daughter, Brianna, 7, to the VA campus to see the parade and be with his uncle, James Forney, a veteran. “We are here in honor of him. We came to be with him,” Mutz said. He said it was important for his daughter to see others honoring the veterans for their service. “I think it was good to let her know and see,” he said. Robert Davis of High Point works at the VA and arrived just a little bit early so he could watch the parade. Davis also served in the Air Force, repairing missiles. He served four years in the military. “There’s nothing like being an American patriot. No one can take that away because they volunteer to serve. It’s a privilege and an honor,” Davis said. Serving in the military was a time in his life when “I did something right. It’s a blessing from God,” he said. Frederick L. Scott is another who served. He was a typist/clerk in the Army. “I’m proud to be a veteran,” he said. Whitey Harwood served during Vietnam as an infantryman. Harwood said he served for two years. “It’s important to be here to share this time with my friends,” he said. He sat with friends and fel-

low veterans Phillip Little and Thomas L. Smith. Smith served nearly four years in the Air Force’s security force. “It makes me feel good that we are remembered,” he said. Billy McDowell retired after serving in the Army, nine years as an infantryman and the other 17 as a military mechanic. “It’s pride. I’ve already got goosebumps,” he said as the parade geared up. He regularly visits his stepfather, Grover Parker, who also served in the Army as an infantryman in Germany.
“It’s great to be here,” he said. Parker said the men and women deserve the honors they receive on Veterans Day. Many of the veterans who were bedridden and wheelchair bound were determined to get out for the parade, he said. “A lof these veterans have been talking about the parade for two days,” McDowell said. McDowell also watched the parade with his mother, Opal. Earlier during the day, veterans from different military branches and areas of service gathered at the VA Medical
Center to honor and remember those who have served. Guest speaker James Oxford, N.C. American Legion Department commander, asked the community to support National Guardsmen and women. “They are carrying our fight to people who mean us harm,” Oxford said. He spoke about television shows that try to make heroes out of celebrities and ordinary people. “The real heroes are all the outstanding men and women who serve in our armed forces,” he said.
They are ones who defuse bombs or sacrifice their lives so others can live, Oxford said. “Not all the veterans have seen war, but a common bond they share is a willingness to die for their country,” he said. Oxford spoke of World War II veteran Jack Lucas who lied about his age to enlist. He was 14 when he joined the Marine Corps. He later received a Medal of Honor. Lucas carried that same medal with him as he went back to high school. “He was a true hero,” Oxford said. “Veterans Day is a time we take the time to say thank you for your sacrifice for preserving our freedom,” said Paul Russo, director of the VA Medical Center. Russo was named director in mid-August. He said 84,000 veterans are enrolled at the Hefner VA and 27 percent or 539 of the employees are veterans. “Freedom is not free. It’s critically important that we remember and teach our children to honor and
troops overseas. No matter the weight, the flat rate to send a large box is $12.50 — not too bad for a trip to Iraq, Afghanistan or other faraway points.

David Hand of AMVETS Post 845 in Rockwell is Rowan Veterans Council Veteran of Year.
Members of the National Guard have established a new American Legion Post in Mooresville. The men attended the Veterans Day activities Thursday at the Hefner VA Medical Center. The newly formed Darrell Wilson Post 537 has received its temporary charter and will receive its permanent charter in February. Commander Todd Waugh said most of the members are full-time guardsmen. “Most who serve do it without any recognition,” Waugh said. “It’s important to honor them.” The Post has 16 members and just recruited three more. The members hope to sponsor youth sports and Scouts as well as reach out to support veterans in the community.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — East C a r o l i n a ECU 54 outscored UAB UAB 42 27-7 in the fourth quarter Thursday night to post a 54-42 victory at Legion Field. The Pirates improved to 6-4 overall, becoming bowl eligible for the fifth straight season. They are 5-1 in Conference USA play for the second consecutive year and third of the last four. Dominique Davis threw for 331 yards and five touchdowns to become the program’s singleseason leader in TD passes. He now owns 31 in his 10 appearances as a Pirate. The five touchdown tosses tie Davis’ career high and the East Carolina single-game record. Additionally, he became just the
second quarterback in school history to throw for over 3,000 yards in a singleseason, passing Jeff Blake (3,077-3,073). Jonathan DAVIS Williams had a career day, tallying his first touchdown through the air and accounting for 115 receiving yards. He became the first ECU back since Chris Johnson to go over the 100-yard receiving mark in a game. Williams also racked up a game-high 82 yards on the ground with a TD. The Pirates trailed 42-34 with less than nine minutes left, but a 56-yard punt return and a fumbled kickoff helped them close the gap.

Ericka Nesbitt, left, and Chelsea White are headed to Division I softball programs.
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan softball coach Mike Waddell watched Wednesday’s signing party with mixed emotions. “It’s just fantastic to have two seniors signing Division I scholarships,” he said. “But I wish this was still a year or two away. They’re gonna be hard to replace.” Pitcher Chelsea “Bug” White signed a National Letter of Intent to join Elon’s program, and shortstop Ericka Nesbitt put her name on the dotted line to accept an offer from Campbell. White and Nesbitt have been East’s co-MVPs three straight seasons. White’s been county Player of the Year three times, sharing the award with West slugger Stacie Raney in 2008 and Nesbitt in 2010.
“It was just great timing that Chelsea and E r i c ka both came along at the same time,” Waddell said. “We’ve got a lot of good players, but WADDELL as they go, we go. Ericka and Kayla Kirk make people worry about our offense. Chelsea makes them worry if they’re ever going to get anyone on base.” Neither star is replaceable, although a program that’s ranged from good to great for a decade will continue to compete at a high level. They’ve inspired a small army of young athletes whose time will come.

Back then, the school had grown accustomed to a diet of 3-7s and 4-6s, but 0-10 had never happened before. West’s head coach in 1984 was Raymond Daugherty Jr., who was in his fourth season at the helm. He was the 10th head man hired at a school playing its 26th season of football. The longest head-coaching tenure up to that time had been four years. Daugherty had played football, basketball and baseball at South Rowan before graduating in 1966. He started college at N.C. State and finished at Catawba. He spent eight years paying dues at China Grove Junior High before being hired as the defensive coordinator at West in 1978. He served on Dale Hedrick’s staff three years

But it reILLING ally doesn’t matter now. The pairings are what they are. We must live with them. There’s some good news for local football fans. All four Rowan County schools involved — West, North,
Games at 7:30 P.M.
Harding at West Rowan Hickory at Carson North Surry at Salisbury West Montgomery at North Rowan Hickory Ridge at A.L. Brown Davie County at North Davidson Salisbury and Carson — are at home.
West Rowan and its 41-game winning streak is home against a Harding team that was holding its
breath earlier in the week. Would this be the last game for the historic Charlotte school? Either Waddell or Harding was going to close down, but a vote by the school board decided to cut Waddell. So the Harding underclassmen live to play another season after tonight. Their current season is probably going to end in Mount Ulla.
Certain teams seem to be peaking at the right time. Salisbury, the CCC champion, has won five straight games. North Rowan and Carson had must-win games in the last two weeks, and both came through in the clutch.

(9-20-1) before accepting the head job in 1981. Daugherty didn’t panic during that ugly 1984 season and resisted the temptation to bring up kids and toss them into the fire. “The best thing we did was keep the sophomores DAUGHERTY together on the jayvees,” Daugherty said. “If I’m not mistaken, those jayvees were 8-2. They developed an attitude of winning football games.” Rising from the ashes of 0-10, West’s 1985 team qualified for the state playoffs. It was the first West team to qualify for postseason play, and looking at the stats, it’s miraculous that the Falcons, who averaged 8.5 points per game and never topped 19, split 10 regular-season games. They were 4-2 in the South Piedmont Conference and finished third. Junior quarterback Adrian Peace was the county’s leading passer with 739 yards. That’s about four games work for current QB B.J. Sherrill. But stats were quieter in 1985. Leagues were more competitive top to bottom, so there weren’t any 50-0 wipeouts.

Common Sense breaks down county’s banner season he prep football playoffs start tonight, but before moving forward, Common Sense will look back at one of the more successful regular seasons in Rowan County history. Three schools — West, Salisbury and North — won outright conference titles. That’s never happened before. West, Salisbury and North had just one conference loss between them. On two previous occasions, three Rowan teams won or shared conference titles. In 2000, West and North
T
had perfect conference seasons while South shared the CPC title. In 2005, West won the NPC outright while Salisbury and North split the CCC crown. The last time the county didn’t produce at least one league champion was 2002. Since 2003, Joe Pinyan’s first year as head coach, Salisbury has won six CCC titles in eight years. West began its string of seven straight NPC titles under coach Scott Young in 2004.
East hasn’t won a league championship since it shared the SPC crown with Concord and (3A state champion) A.L. Brown in 1997. East hasn’t been undisputed king of its league since 1970. South tied for 4A CPC titles as recently as 2000 and 2001 but last won its league outright in 1981. Carson, now in its fifth season, hasn’t won a league championship yet, although it will own a 10-win season if it beats Hickory tonight. West owns 11 wins and Salisbury
has eight, so it’s conceivable the county could produce three 10-win teams for the first time. The county has had a pair of 10-win teams only three times previously, with West and Salisbury doing the honors in 2004, 2006 and 2009. Prior to 1994, teams played 10 regular-season games instead of 11, and the playoffs have expanded over the years. It was really tough to win 10 back in the day.

Celtics handle Heat Associated Press
MIAMI — Ray Allen hit his first seven 3-point tries and finished with 35 points, Paul Pierce added 25 and the Celtics led wire-to-wire in a 112-107 win over Miami on Thursday, beating the Heat for the second time this season and handing them a second straight home loss. Boston has won 13 of the last 14 regular-season meetings in addition to eliminating Miami in the opening round of last season’s playoffs. Rajon Rondo finished with 16 assists and Kevin Garnett had 16 points and 13 rebounds for Boston, which led by as many as 20. LeBron James finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, narrowly missing his second straight triple-double. Dwyane Wade was held to eight points on 2-for-12 shooting. The Heat got within 110-107 on Udonis Haslem’s free throws with 13.3 seconds left, but Allen hit a pair of free throws to seal it. CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored 26 points, Derrick Rose had 22 and Chicago raced to a 30-point lead in the first half of a 120-90 win against weary Golden State. Monta Ellis had 24 points to lead the Warriors. Stephen Curry added 17.
NHL RALEIGH — Jeff Carter had his second career hat trick, scoring three goals to lead the Philadelphia Flyers past Carolina 8-1. Chad LaRose scored for Carolina, but Cam Ward allowed four goals and stopped only nine shots before he was pulled in the second period. Justin Peters finished, also making nine saves and giving up four goals. WASHINGTON — Alexander Semin scored three third-period goals and added two assists, Alex Ovechkin had a goal and two assists and Washington won 6-3 over Tampa Bay. ATLANTA — Ondrej Pavelec won for the first time since collapsing early in the season opener, making 32 saves in Atlanta’s 5-1 victory over Minnesota. NEW YORK — Artem Anisimov scored his second goal of the game 1:32 into overtime to lift New York to a 3-2 victory over Buffalo. BOSTON — Rookie defenseman P.K. Subban scored his first NHL regular-season goal, and Carey Price stopped 34 shots to lead Montreal in a 3-1 win over Boston. ST. LOUIS — Marcel Goc scored in the fourth round of a shootout to lift Nashville past St. Louis 3-2.
OTTAWA — Daniel Sedin and Alex Burrows each had a goal and an assist, and linemate Henrik Sedin also had two points to help Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault reach 300 career victories in a 6-2 win over Ottawa. DETROIT — Dan Cleary and Tomas Holmstrom each scored twice for Detroit in a 6-2 win over Edmonton.
BASEBALL NEW YORK — Derek Jeter’s grandmother has been joking that he doesn’t have a job. “Really it doesn’t feel like there’s anything different,” the New York Yankees captain said about becoming a free agent for the first time. “I understand there’s negotiations that are going to come and those sorts of things, but for me personally I don’t feel any different.” SEATTLE — Dave Niehaus, the Hall of Fame broadcaster who called Seattle Mariners’ games from their first season through this year, died of a heart attack Wednesday. He was 75. NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran would consider waiving his no-trade clause if the New York Mets approach him with a deal. MIAMI — Dan Uggla says he still hopes to reach an agreement on a long-term deal with the Marlins even though they've broken off negotiations.
RACING PHOENIX — NASCAR has inspected the cars the three championship contenders plan to race in next week’s season finale. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston says the cars for Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick were inspected in the North Carolina research and development center this week. The cars were measured to make sure they fit the templates ahead of the Nov. 21 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. PHOENIX — Travis Pastrana has signed a deal with Michael Waltrip Racing that could put him in NASCAR’s second-tier Nationwide series as early as next year. The action sports star has formed a team called Pastrana-Waltrip Racing. Pending NASCAR approval, he will run seven Nationwide races next season and 20 in 2012. Pastrana is a star in Moto X, X Games and American rally racing.

Late touchdown lifts Falcons over Baltimore Associated Press
ATLANTA — If this was a Super Bowl preview, that’s going to be quite a game in Big D. Roddy White hauled in a 33-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan with 20 seconds remaining and the Atlanta Falcons, after squandering a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter, rallied to beat the Baltimore Ravens 26-21 on Thursday in a prime-time matchup between two of the NFL’s top teams. “If you like football, like intense football, that was it,” said Falcons coach Mike Smith, a former Ravens assistant. “That might have been the most the intense game I’ve ever been involved with at any level of football.” The Falcons (7-2) appeared to be control after Ryan went to White for a 4-yard touchdown with 11:34 remaining to make it 20-7. Curiously, Smith didn’t attempt a two-point conversion, which nearly came back to bite him. Baltimore (6-3) rallied behind Joe Flacco’s two fourthquarter TD passes, the second of them a 9-yarder to Todd Heap with 1:05 left.

roddy White (84) celebrates a score with Michael Jenkins. Back came the Falcons, who improved to 18-1 at home with Ryan as the starter. He needed less than a minute to pull off an 80-yard drive, hooking up with Michael Jenkins on a huge third-down pass along the sideline before going back to White for the winner. Ryan rolled to his left to get away from the pressure, and White shoved off Josh Wilson with his right hand to get free, sending the cornerback tum-
bling to the turf. Ryan delivered the ball perfectly, White caught it with no one around and cruised into the end zone. Wilson hopped up, screaming for a penalty. But the official kept the yellow flag in his back pocket and held up both arms. Touchdown. White knew he got away with one. “Yeah, you’ve got to do whatever you’ve got to do to win,” he said. “I’m going to
leave it up to the referee.” White finished with 12 catches for 138 yards. Ryan threw a career-high 50 passes, completing 32 of them for 316 yards and three TDs. PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — Carolina linebacker Jon Beason called his $10,000 fine for a hit to the head of New Orleans receiver Marques Colston unwarranted and vowed to appeal. Beason acknowledged he was fined for the hit that drew a 15-yard penalty in the third quarter of Sunday’s 34-3 loss to the Saints. Beason said he was covering another player when Colston caught a 7-yard pass near him and he lowered his head to brace for impact. “It wasn’t like the ball was in the air 40 yards downfield. It was a 4-yard route,” Beason said. “Defensive guys have the right to protect themselves as well. I don’t get in that situation what I was supposed to do. “But they’re enforcing it right now and they’re going to be extremely stern about how they handle things and everything that’s ticky-tack they’re going to fine guys.” Beason, who was penalized for a hit on a defenseless play-
er, stressed that he never left his feet nor led with his helmet. “As soon as I turned he was right there,” Beason said. “But they threw a flag, so they’ve got to fine me.” Beason thinks the NFL is getting so strict receivers may start to stay down after hard hits to draw 15-yard penalties. “That stuff is going to get to the point where guys are going to lay there on purpose and get 15 (yards) and pop back up and be back in the game,” Beason said. “Why not? We’re trying to win games.” BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — Browns linebacker Marcus Benard was released from a hospital after collapsing in the locker room Thursday. CARDINALS TEMPE, Ariz. — The Cardinals “rested” Beanie Wells at practice, raising questions about whether the running back will be able to play Sunday against Seattle. SEAHAWKS RENTON, Wash. — Matt Hasselbeck suffered a concussion that forced him to miss the Seahawks’ game against the New York Giants
last week, but now he’s been cleared to lead Seattle against Arizona. PATRIOTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Oft-injured Fred Taylor hopes to play Sunday after missing five games with two painful toes. VIKINGS EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Percy Harvin missed practice for a second straight day because of a migraine headache. BENGALS CINCINNATI — Right tackle Andre Smith has a broken foot that could end his season. TITANS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Titans quarterback Vince Young returned to practice and split the work with backup Kerry Collins. Whether Young starts Sunday at Miami depends on how his sprained left ankle reacts to his first work since he was hurt Oct. 31. NFLPA NEW YORK — The players union has rejected a proposal from the NFL on long-term care for former players, saying the supplemental policy would exclude too many of them.
UNC sends formal letter breaking ties with tutor BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina has formally broken ties with the tutor linked to the ongoing NCAA investigation of its football program. In a letter dated Nov. 5 and released Thursday, athletic director Dick Baddour informed Jennifer Wiley of Chapel Hill that the university had learned she provided “impermissible extra benefits” to players, including about $2,000 in travel expenses this year. It also states she “provided impermissible academic assistance” to some student-athletes in 2009 and 2010. “As a result of your actions, the eligibility status of several of our student-athletes has been adversely affected,” it states. The letter insisted she have no contact with any student-athlete for
five years. It bars her from the Kenan Football Center and other campus athletic facilities in any role outside that of as a member of the general public during that time. Wiley didn’t respond to an e-mail from The AP seeking comment Thursday, but Raleigh attorney Joe Cheshire issued a statement on her behalf saying she “acknowledges her role” in the investigation. Cheshire said Wiley allowed a player to use a credit card for a transaction, then was “immediately repaid” for that amount and “never knew this type of transaction was impermissible.” “She gave several years of her life trying to uplift, educate and enhance the lives of student-athletes that she worked with and befriended,” Cheshire said. “All of these young men were of the highest caliber. She did not intend for her work to ‘provide impermissible academic assis-
tance’ and to the extent it did, she is deeply saddened, particularly as it has affected the young men she cared so much about.” The NCAA began looking into agent-related benefits in the program over the summer before expanding the investigation to include possible academic violations involving Wiley, who also had worked as a tutor for coach Butch Davis’ teenage son. The school also said five people — including former UNC player and current New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks — provided “impermissible gifts of cash and jewelry and impermissible assistance” with travel and entertainment expenses. Nicks, who left Chapel Hill for the NFL after his junior season in 2008, provided $3,300 in benefits, while former UNC players Omar Brown ($1,865) and Mahlon Carey ($140) also were listed.
The news release also mentions San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis ($20) and “a person from Miami whose full name is not known ($323).” The school identified all five people in reinstatement requests sent to the NCAA as part of the process to clear players in the probe. Brown previously was linked to the investigation when the NCAA suspended cornerback Kendric Burney for six games and safety Deunta Williams for four games. The two players had traveled to California to visit the former UNC safety, who Williams said they had befriended a few years earlier. The school said the amount — totaling $5,648 between the five people — also includes the estimated value of lodging at their homes during visits. Some of those benefits were repaid by the players or hosts
before they knew they had broken NCAA rules. The school also said that while Nicks, Carey and Brown thought they were helping friends and former Tar Heels, “there is no evidence that links them to inappropriate relationships with agents, prospective agents or runners.” Police are searching for two suspects who stole about $1,000 in items after breaking into Kenan Stadium last month. Department of Public Safety spokesman Randy Young said the two men took some helmets and clothing early on the morning of Oct. 20. Authorities have released pictures of the men taken on surveillance cameras around the facility. Butch Davis said the incident was “a little bit comical and a little bit sad,” saying the items would probably show up on eBay soon.
Rogers: Newton wanted cash for son to sign Associated Press
A former Mississippi State player who worked with agents says Cecil Newton told him it would take anywhere from $100,000 to $180,000 for his son, Cam, to sign a scholarship with Mississippi State. Kenny Rogers told ESPN radio in Dallas on Thursday that when he and Cecil Newton met with two MSU coaches at a hotel in Starkville, Miss., last Nov. 27, one of the coaches said, “No, no I don’t want to hear that,” when Cecil Newton asked about the payment for Cam Newton to attend Mississippi State. Cam Newton eventually signed with Auburn, where the school says the quarterback is eligible to play. Newton is a leading Heisman Trophy contender and has the unbeaten Tigers in the hunt for the national championship. He’s expected to play Saturday against rival Georgia. Rogers said last week on the same show when asked about the recruiting scandal that “a school has never paid me for a kid. An alumni has never paid me for a kid. Period. Point blank.” Cecil Newton has denied any wrongdoing. He has admitted that he knows Rogers but has said if Rogers solicited money, he did it on his own. Rogers said Thursday his reputation was being attacked and people were “acting like the Newtons didn’t know anything about anything.” Rogers’ lawyer, who was also on the radio show, said his client has been contacted by the NCAA, but not by the FBI. Rogers said he didn’t know anything about Cam Newton’s recruitment at
Auburn and didn’t know if Cecil Newton, a preacher in Atlanta, planned to funnel any money into his church. Documents obtained last week by The Associated Press through an open records request show the city of Newton, Ga., had been pressuring the minister to make some $50,000 in repairs to the structure since June 2008. An inspector found multiple problems, including a lack of smoke detectors, sprinklers and rear exits; moldy insulation; faulty wiring; rotting wooden doors and broken windows. Cecil Newton would not say where his church got the money to perform the improvements required by the city. FLORIDA GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer says the NCAA has granted Florida cornerback Moses Jenkins a fifth year of eligibility. He received a medical hardship waiver for the 2009 season after missing the final 10 games because of a concussion. Florida plans to stick with a threequarterback rotation against South Carolina on Saturday night, a game that will decide the SEC’s Eastern Division and give the winner a berth in the league title game in Atlanta. OHIO STATE COLUMBUS, Ohio — Despite saying earlier this week that he’d like to play basketball again, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is committed to football and has enjoyed his almost three years with the Buckeyes. He’s liked it so much, in fact, he swears he’ll be back for his senior year. “I’m a Buckeye until I break all the records,” he said during preparations
for the eighth-ranked Buckeyes’ showdown on Saturday at Ohio Stadium against Penn State. The junior said he had no intention — at least right now — of jumping into the NFL draft. The two-sport star in high school, who once considered playing both football and basketball in college, tweeted that he missed basketball. Then he tweeted a note to Buckeyes basketball player David Lighty asking if he could say something to hoops coach Thad Matta about Pryor trying out for the team. UCONN-PITT EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Jordan Todman ran for 222 yards, including 4 on a key fourth-down conversion, and Connecticut beat Pittsburgh 30-28 on Thursday to bring the Panthers back to the pack in the Big East. Pittsburgh (5-4, 3-1) entered with a two-game lead in the Big East and was looking to become the first team in the conference to become bowl eligible. MIAMI-GEORGIA TECH ATLANTA — Miami and Georgia Tech are turning to young backups after losing two of the ACC’s most accomplished quarterbacks. Miami’s Jacory Harris will miss his second straight game since suffering a concussion on Oct. 30 at Virginia. Freshman Stephen Morris will make his second start. Georgia Tech’s Joshua Nesbitt will miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a broken right forearm in last week’s loss at Virginia Tech. Sophomore Tevin Washington will make his first start.
Bowl berth at stake when Army faces Kent State BY JOHN KEKIS Associated Press
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Army coach Rich Ellerson is the odd man out right now among his service academy peers — Navy’s Ken Niumatalolo and Air Force’s Troy Calhoun already know the postseason beckons, while the Black Knights are knocking on that proverbial door. All three service academies are in rarefied air — they all have winning records. Only twice since 1960 have all
three finished a season with winning records: in 1963 and 1996. Army hasn’t had a winning season since 1996. It doesn’t have a tie-in to any bowl game this year but could end up in the Armed Forces Bowl if eligible. Army (5-4) has just two more chances to win its sixth game by bowl deadlines and become eligible for the postseason. The Black Knights can accomplish that lofty goal with a win Saturday at Kent State (4-5). If they don’t, they’ll have to defeat Notre Dame (4-5) on Nov. 20 at Yankee Stadium to get the necessary six
wins because the Army-Navy game on Dec. 11 will be played too late to be counted toward eligible victories. “This football team has high expectations for itself,” Ellerson said. “It doesn’t cut itself any slack. It doesn’t celebrate being close.” Under Ellerson, Army has switched to the triple option that Air Force and Navy have used to such success, and it has begun to thrive behind sophomore quarterback Trent Steelman (nine rushing TDs and five passing). Jon Crucitti (West Rowan) has 25 rushes for 81 yards.

PIRATES FroM 1B An 11-yard touchdown pass from Davis to Michael Bowman made it 42-40 after the tying two-point attempt failed. After the Blazers went three-and-out, Dwayne Harris returned a punt to the UAB 11. Two plays later Davis threw an 11-yard touchdown pass. He ran for the conversion, giving ECU a 48-42 lead with 5:48 remaining. On the kickoff return, the Blazers could not hold on the ball, allowing Rahkeem Morgan to fall on it and give the Pirates another shot on offense. Nearly 100 seconds later, Harris raced around the right side from 10 yards out and just found the pylon for an insurance touchdown. Another
two-point conversion failed, but Bradley Jacobs sealed the win for East Carolina by intercepting a pass with under a minute to play. The Pirates recorded 492 yards of total offense to surpass the 400-yard mark for the fifth straight game and seventh time this season. In the last two years, ECU has seven games with 400 or more yards of total offense. East Carolina also continued its redzone success, converting all six opportunities. Defensively, Jacobi Jenkins made nine tackles. Jacobs collected a personal-best three pass breakups in the first half. The Pirates close out their road schedule next Saturday by traveling to Houston for a league matchup with Rice. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m., and the contest will be shown regionally on Comcast Sports South.

Pinyan is smart enough to know he surely won’t have Morris or Darien Rankin, both North Carolina commitments. Division I recruits seldom play in the July classic because they’re already on campus for summer school. But Pinyan would surely take Warren.

If the Cougars win a couple, he’ll probably get to try to figure out how to beat West Rowan, a team Carson has already lost to 41-14.

Prior to the surge of conference championships in the last decade, multiple Rowan teams won league titles the same season only in 1970 (Salisbury and East), 1974 (Salisbury and East), 1975 (South and North) and 1997 (East and North). The Rowan team that qualified for the playoffs with the worst record was the 2002 Salisbury team that entered the postseason 4-7 and exited 4-8 after a 53-18 loss to Hibriten. In the last 40 years, the Rowan team with the best record that didn’t qualify for postseason play was the 1975 Salisbury team that went 8-1-1. North had 8-2 teams in 1976 and 1988 that didn’t make it. An 8-3 West team didn’t make the playoffs in 1999, and South’s 8-3 conference co-champion didn’t make the playoff field in 2000 after losing a draw. That sort of stuff doesn’t happen any more, and that’s a good thing. Just across the county line, conference titles are still automatic at A.L. Brown, but this year’s SPC crown was a little more special. Brown went unbeaten in its league for the first time since 2001. Anson spoiled several bids for perfect conference seasons. The team that got the worst draw in this year’s playoffs is Bishop McGuinness, a No. 4 seed in the 1AA Midwest pod. McGuiness (8-2) catches Albemarle in Round 1. Forfeits hurt Albemarle’s seed, but it may be the best team in its classification. The new pod system has North Rowan, A.L. Brown and Davie facing conference foes in the first round. That’s not ideal, but it’s a tradeoff for saving gasoline. Part of the mystique of the playoffs is playing someone new, maybe even someone totally off the wall. Remember when North drew South Robeson for a first-rounder in 2003. Heck, remember when East opened with South Brunswick last year. There are no exotic matchups locally this time. Common Sense was 16-1 last week. The picks are 113-18 for the season.

The picks: West Rowan 42, Harding 7 The good news is Harding isn’t closing. The bad news is the Rams have no chance against the Falcons. West is 277-277-12 all-time, so it should finally get above the .500 mark all-time. West hasn’t seen .500 since it was 4-4 in 1959. Carson 35, Hickory 27 Hickory’s got fantastic tradition and a million state titles, but it’s 2010, and the Red Tornadoes haven’t been very good this fall. Unless Carson is awed by those red and gold jerseys, it should get win No. 10. Salisbury 27, North Surry 14 Salisbury’s injury report is as long as any NFL team’s, but the Hornets still should take this one. Look for a monster game from Romar Morris. West Montgomery 28, North Rowan 21 North’s first win over West Montgomery included a last-minute miracle. It’ll be tough to beat the Warriors again. A.L. Brown 35, Hickory Ridge 13 Without running back Travis Riley, the Wonders won at Hickory Ridge by two TDs. With him, at home, the margin should be more comfortable. North Davidson 42, Davie County 21 If you’re Davie County, you’re wondering what you did to deserve a rematch with a team that clobbered you 51-28 seven days ago. This time the War Eagles go on the road against an NFL-sized offensive line. 1A: South Stanly 35, North Stokes 32; Rosewood 24, South Davidson 14; Hobbton 47, Chatham Central 12 1AA: Pender 52, East Montgomery 13; Albemarle 35, McGuinness 21 2A: Lexington 34, Providence Grove 14; Thomasville 27, Jordan-Matthews 13; Carver 49, West Davidson 7 2AA: Cedar Ridge 42, Central Davidson 34 3A: Southern Guilford 21, Mt.

Hickory coach John Worley was an East-West assistant last summer. Game notes: Hickory owns a tremendous athletic heritage, including the 1996 state title team that went 16-0. Hickory was also unbeaten in 1959 and 1966 when it competed in the WNCHSAA. ... Rowan native Frank Barger coached Hickory from 1953-84 and had a record of 230-105-6. ...

North Davidson finished second behind champion Mount Tabor, and Davie was third. Common opponents: Many.

North Surry was 1-10 last season, so coach Brian Hampton has done a pretty amazing job. Game notes: Salisbury is in an amazingly tough pod, but it’s played great at home and should win tonight. Romar Morris has rushed for 1,164 yards, and Dominique Dismuke scored five TDs last week. QB Tanner Hiatt and RB Joston Phipps lead an experienced North Surry team that doesn’t quit.

Next week: The winner takes on either Statesville or North Forsyth. The Wonders edged Statesville on opening night. As the No. 1 seed in the region (not just the pod), the Wonders could play at home for four straight weeks. Coaches: Ron Massey has never lost a first-round playoff game at A.L. Brown. For the first time, Marty Paxson has seniors who began high school at Hickory Ridge, which opened in 2007.

LONDON FRoM 1B Coaches tended to be conservative, keeping the ball on the ground, trying to avoid turnovers and relying on their defense. West’s Scott Gillespie had 17 catches to rank second in the county that year. Junior Paul Kennedy was West’s leading rusher with 571 yards on 157 carries. He ran behind 5-foot-9 senior guard David Greenwell. “Kennedy was just a bruising ol’ fullback,” said offensive backs coach Ralph Shatterly, who was in his first year on West’s staff after years at North Rowan. West opened the 1985 season against a powerhouse North team that wouldn’t lose a game until the playoffs. The Falcons showed signs of improvement. “We lost 10-0, but it was still 0-0 in the fourth quarter,” Shatterly said. “I’d just come over to West from North, so I remember wanting to beat them pretty bad.” Daugherty and principal Henry Kluttz had assembled a strong staff that also included defensive coordinator Randall Ward, DBs coach Terry Osborne, receivers coach Alexis Cowan and young defensive line coach Skip Kraft, but the Falcons dropped to 0-2 after a 27-6 loss to a strong South Rowan team that was playing in the 4A ranks for the first time. West topped Mooresville for its first win behind Peace’s 124 passing yards and 79 rushing yards, but it dropped a 7-6 decision to South Iredell despite 114 rushing yards by Kennedy. PATs would be an adventure all season. West’s defense recovered three fumbles to preserve a 9-7 win against Central Cabarrus in the SPC opener. But the next two weeks brought pain. A 28-7 loss to Concord spoiled homecoming. Then West lost 35-6 at home to Forest Hills. West managed a meager 78 yards of offense against a Forest Hills team that sacked Peace frequently. The Yellow Jackets would finish that season as the 3A runnerup. “Adrian Peace was a great quarterback and we had other very good players, just not enough of them,”

I look out at West now, and they can put 22 unbelievable athletes on the field. But 1985 was a different time. There were nights you were just gonna get walked on by the Concords.” The turning point for the Falcons came on Oct. 25, a long way from home at Sun Valley. Bobby Sherrill’s interception return for a touchdown helped the Falcons win 15-7, and Kennedy churned out 93 clock-eating yards. West was 2-2 in the SPC with two to go. A 13-6 win at Northwest Cabarrus followed. It featured another big pick by Sherrill and a TD pass from Peace to Rodney Cuthbertson. Much of the drama of 1985 took place in the regular-season finale at East Rowan. East was only 1-4 in
the SPC, but an upset of the Falcons would have salvaged the Mustangs’ season. Peace threw TD passes to Gillespie and Cuthbertson, and West carried a 13-6 lead into the final minute. That’s Daugherty’s strongest memory of that season. “We recovered a fumble on our 1-yard line, but there was an inadvertent whistle on the play that allowed East to score with a minute to go,” Daugherty said. “That I’ll never forget.” The man who tried to calm down Daugherty was Charlotte’s Bob Lawing. “The white hat (referee) comes over and his explanation was an inadvertent whistle,” Daugherty said. “The explanation I gave to him isn’t something that you can quote me on.” Lawing moved up from high school to the ACC and made the leap from there to a 13-year career
in the NFL. He was the back judge for playoff games and the 1998 Pro Bowl. He died in May of cancer. The patch NFL officials wear on their hats this season honors Lawing. Daugherty thought a lot of Lawing and can look back on the inadvertent whistle now and smile because the Falcons stopped a two-point conversion to win the game. They beat East 13-12 and qualified for the playoffs. West lost to a talented Statesville team 48-0 in the first round. “They were great and they just killed us,” Kraft said. “But making the playoffs after going 0-10 — that was still a great thing.” Greenwell and Gillespie were the only two Falcons on the allcounty team. Peace and Kennedy received All-SPC recognition. “They were a good crew,” Shatterly said. “A lot of outstanding kids.”
That 1985 season was the start of a journey that’s now come full circle. Scott Young has built one of the state’s real powerhouses in Mount Ulla — an overwhelming combination of talent, numbers and work ethic. Daugherty, now serving as the Central Cabarrus athletics director and trying to get his school back on its feet after the opening of nearby Hickory Ridge in 2007, has gotten a first-hand look at the modern Falcons the last two seasons. West has beaten Central 54-0 and 56-0. “When I first saw West this year, I didn’t think they were as good upfront as last year when they were just daggone great,” Daugherty said. “But now I’m thinking they’re just as good. I’ve got friends on that staff, Scott’s done an incredible job, and I hope West can do it again.”

Lowe believes time has arrived for Wolfpack’s leap Associated Press
RALEIGH — Sidney Lowe is ready. He’s as eager as anyone to see his most talented N.C. State team start the season. And while there are questions about his job security, the coach sounds convinced that four years of building his program are about to pay off. In an interview with The Associated Press, Lowe didn’t dwell on uncertainty over his long-term future at the school he led to a national championship as a player. Instead, he said he was in a good place when it comes to his outlook. “I am because I see the light, as they say,” Lowe said. “I see (the program) as I envisioned it before, as moving and getting to a certain point. ... It’s going in the right direc-
tion and that’s why I feel good. And these guys make me feel good in terms of their work. “And I don’t know what that means this year, OK? But I just know it’s in a better place. We’re moving forward. I know we’re moving forward.” Lowe opens his fifth season tonight against Tennessee Tech. While he has all-ACC returnee Tracy Smith, the infusion of talent from freshmen Ryan Harrow, Lorenzo Brown and C.J. Leslie makes this group different from past teams that played through short benches or an apparent lack of ACC-caliber talent. During Tuesday’s preseason win against Pfeiffer, the Wolfpack — looking more athletic and playing at a much faster pace — finished with 111 points, cracking the century mark for the first time in 141 preseason, regular-season or postsea-
son games under Lowe. N.C. State is picked to finish fourth in the league and expected to get Lowe to his first NCAA tournament. If things go wrong, chatter about Lowe’s future will only grow louder. “I’ve got to try to graduate kids and try to win games,” Lowe said. “That’s all I can try to do. I can’t worry about anything else. If I spend my time doing that, then I can’t have the time to devote to the kids. How can I be worried about myself when I’ve got 13 or 14 kids that I’m thinking, ‘OK, is he doing the right thing?’ and ‘Is he doing the right thing?’ ” NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL — P.J. Hairston, a 6-foot-4 wing from Greensboro, and James McAdoo, a 6-8 forward from Norfolk, Va., have signed. Hairston played at Dudley for
three years and is currently attending Hargrave Military Academy. He averaged 25.4 points and 8.1 rebounds at Dudley last year. McAdoo averaged 22.5 points and 9.9 rebounds last year and led Norfolk Christian to a state championship. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Virginia and led the United States U-17 team to a gold medal in the 2010 FIBA U-17 World Championships in Germany. “P.J. made a very difficult decision to leave Dudley High School to push himself to another level and become the best player he can be,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “He can really shoot the basketball, but what has impressed me even more is how he has improved defensively and as a rebounder. “James is an outstanding player, but even better as an individual.”

Ericka Nesbitt and Chelsea White pose in front of, back row, from left: Gina Talbert, Mike Waddell, Sandy Basinger and Kelly Sparger.
One little blonde girl at the signing party wore a red jacket with “Lil Bug” in white letters across the back. White is her pitching coach. East has won three straight NPC championships since White and Nesbitt stepped onto the field as varsity freshmen. It was 25-3 and third in the state in 3A last season. The stats say White is the most dominant softball pitcher the county has produced. She was dealing with a draining case of mono late last season, but she still won 24 games, put up an ERA of 0.53 and struck out 222 batters while walking 18. East also needs White to drive in runs with her bat, and she came through with a .381 average and 34 RBIs. Nesbitt was the catalyst of the offense and anchor of the defense. She’s blessed with phenomenal quickness and electric arm strength. She batted .592 as the leadoff hitter, scoring 41 runs and stealing 32 bases. When she got on base, it was an automatic run. Nesbitt has made plays in the hole and ranging into the
UNC opens its season tonight at home against Lipscomb. INDIANA WASHINGTON, Ind. — Cody Zeller is staying home to play for Indiana and coach Tom Crean. “Growing up in Indiana, I think it will mean a lot for me playing in this state,” said Zeller, who is ranked among the top 20 players in the nation. The 6-10 senior had narrowed his choices to Indiana, Butler and UNC. KENTUCKY LEXINGTON, Ky. — The NCAA ruled Kentucky freshman center Enes Kanter permanently ineligible to play for the Wildcats, though the school will appeal the decision. The NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff decided Kanter received benefits above his actual and necessary expenses while playing for a club team in Turkey.
outfield that Waddell has never seen anyone make. “She made a play in the playoffs that was unbelievable, laying out and catching a ball that was a sure double down the left-field line,” Waddell said. Neither girl gets tired of softball. White played travel ball in the summer months that took her to Colorado and Florida. “Everything was good,” she said. “I’m healthy again, and there’s just two things to do now — keep my grades up and win state.” Nesbitt didn’t travel as much or as far. Her travel-ball teammates already had committed to colleges, many of them to Campbell, so they stayed close to home and competed in the Raleigh area. Nesbitt has been verbally committed to Campbell’s Camels for months, but finally putting her signature on the official paperwork provided an unexpected thrill. “It was a completely different feeling when I signed,” she said. “My whole body was hyped, adrenaline rushing everywhere. It just felt really good.” Nesbitt will be joining a building program at Campbell. White will join an estab-
lished program that won the Southern Conference Tournament last spring. “They got rings,” White said, thinking wistfully about earning one of her own. About 50 people, including parents, grandparents and teammates, came to congratulate the girls, and everyone filled up on cake and chicken. White and Nesbitt posed with giant yellow softballs, laughed, and then put on their gamefaces, already getting serious about making their last run together this spring. “Chelsea was a long way from 100 percent and we still came close to doing it last year because our defense really stepped it up,” Waddell said. “That game against Southwestern Randolph (East had 15 hits in a 3-2 loss) still frustrates me, but hopefully Chelsea and Ericka are good and hungry for another run.” East will play a challenging schedule to prepare for the playoffs, but as long as White and Nesbitt stay healthy, the Mustangs can beat anyone. Principal Kelly Sparger got in the last word as he offered a congratulatory hug to White. “There’s just one thing left for you girls to accomplish,” he said. “Win state.”

So Peg and I hauled it inside and set it in the living room, and I begin researching what was needed before we could actually fire it up. Turns out, quite a bit. First we needed a hearth.

Asian lady beetles a nuisance, not a threat U
Jeremy cuts a piece of smoke pipe so that it will be the right length to fit onto the wood stove.
A fishing buddy planted the idea in my head a month or two ago. As we drove out of his long gravel driveway, pulling a fishing boat behind us, he mentioned that I might consider installing a wood stove. He said he would let me have all the free fire wood I wanted from several acres of property that he owns. In a year or two, he figured, the stove would probably pay for itself. A few days later I menJEREMY tioned the idea to my wife Peg. The more we both JUDD thought about it, the more excited we became about the possibility of a warm fireplace in our living room, romantically crackling away on cold winter nights. Without any thought about the difficulty involved in installing a chimney and a hearth, we purchased a small $100 wood stove from a couple living just north of
FRIDAY November 12, 2010
nseasonably warm weather this past week has produced a limited outbreak of multicolored Asian lady beetles throughout Rowan County. The multicolored Asian lady beetle is a native of Asia, but was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a biological control for aphids and other insect pests. Unfortunately, the beetle was reportedly reintroduced accidentally from a freighter in the port of DARRELL New Orleans before BLACKWELDER making its way to North Carolina in 1992. During the spring and summer, these lady beetles feed on aphids in field crops, gardens, meadows and trees. Multicolored Asian lady beetles are effective predators of aphids and some scale insects and are extremely beneficial for both agricultural and horticultural crops. But as temperatures start to cool in the fall, the adult lady beetles begin their search for protected places in which they can pass the winter. The beetles come out of hibernation when unseasonably warm temperatures occur in the fall and winter. They become active and move toward light or bright surfaces. The beetles are often found on windows, light fixtures and ceilings. Recent research suggests that, once the beetles arrive at the site, they use chemical cues to locate the specific crevice they want to inhabit within the structure. The sources of these chemical cues have not been clearly identified, but may be beetle feces from the previous winter, the odor of beetles that died at the site or an attractant pheromone. These factors may help to explain

Now that houseplants are indoors, be aware of their dangers BY KAREN BUSBY Master Gardener volunteer
Most of us have rescued our houseplants from the low night temperatures by bringing them inside for the winter. So it is a good time to think about plants that are harmful or poisonous to children and pets. Most pets and young children put everything in their mouths in order to learn about the world around them. Lately, I was dis-
mayed to learn that all parts of the Sego palm are extremely toxic to both children and pets. Unfortunately, the signs and symptoms of toxicity do not appear until 12 hours or so after ingestion. The victim will show gastrointestinal symptoms and lethargy first but these symptoms rapidly progress to liver failure and death. When a pet owner recognizes that his animal is ill, it is usually too late because even with ag-
gressive measures by a veterinarian, 70 to 80 percent of the animals die. If you are planting tulips and hyacinth bulbs now, make sure your dog is not digging them up in your yard, as they contain allergenic lactones and alkaloids that are toxic. Daffodils, whether the cat or dog ingests the bulb, plant or flower, cause severe difficulty including vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased respirations due to the toxin ly-
corine. Eating parts of most lilies — Asiatic, day, calla and tiger — can irritate the mouth, esophagus and parts of the respiratory tract. You might notice your pet is drooling excessively as a hint that they have ingested something toxic. Eating as little as two or three leaves of an Easter lily can cause kidney failure in cats. This is also a good time to think about storing blood meal, bone meal and rose
and plant fertilizers in a high, out-of-the- way place, preferably in a locked cabinet. Although it is a good organic fertilizer, blood meal can cause vomiting, diarrhea and lead to inflammation of the pancreas in a dog. Bone meal will actually make a hard ball in the stomach of the animal that ingests it, which leads to obstruction of the area, requiring surgery to save the pet. Some rose and plant fer-
tilizers contain the ingredient disulfide which can kill a dog if ingested. Remember too, it is a good practice to keep children and pets off a yard that has been fertilized with a liquid fertilizer until it has dried thoroughly. You might even ask your neighbors what schedule they have for liquid fertilizer applications in order to keep your pets and children inside at that time.

DEGREE FROM 1C the sixth year that the Foothills Regional Conference for Early Childhood Educators has been held. The conference has been a collaborative effort. Since it began, collaborators have included Cooperative Extension agents, the North Carolina Division of Child Development Smart Start Partnerships, public school systems, hospitals, libraries, Social Services agencies, media, civic groups and businesses. Each of these partners have assisted by providing presenters, exhibits, materials, funds and marketing. The conference itself is primarily supported through the registration fees paid by participants. These funds not only allow each participant to leave with a packet or notebook of classroom resources, but refreshments and meals. The team of agents received plaques during a special reception at the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Donors Gala on Oct. 31 in Raleigh.

tools and finish the chimney project. The higher I climbed up the ladder, the higher the roof appeared. More disturbing, it appeared to be getting much steeper. I’m really not afraid of heights, however I am afraid of falling. I took two steps on the roof and promptly realized a third was not possible without a rope, a ladder or shooting sticky webs out of my wrists like spiderman. I came down off the porch and wandered over to my neighbor Roy’s house. He’d mentioned he had an extendable ladder, and I thought perhaps this would lend itself to the task at hand. We packed the ladder over and set it up next to the house. It was apparent that the ladder wasn’t going to be long enough to follow the slant of the roof. Roy scratched his head a minute, and said, “Well, I dunno Jeremy.” Then he said, “Well, I guess you could build yourself a ladder, like they used to do.” Roy recommended putting slanted two-by-fours on the end to catch the peak of the roof so the ladder wouldn’t slide off. This seemed like a pretty good idea. So I ran back to Lowe’s and purchased three, 12-foot two-by-fours. I used two to create the sides of the
ladder, and the last one I cut in one-foot sections and nailed them between the sides to create steps. With my new ladder created, I went up into the attic and marked and cut a round hole in the tin roof. Then I came back downstairs and tried to pick up my ladder. It was very solid. About 50-pounds worth of solid. I attempted to hoist it above my head. It was barely possible. While standing on Roy’s ladder to slide my new ladder up the slant of the roof, it was not possible at all. I was realizing why this was what they “used to do.” Roy’s aluminum ladder felt like a feather compared to my new creation. I spent about an hour shoving, pushing, heaving and grumbling, and finally, the new ladder was in place. It was no easy task, but with some effort, I did get the heavy new ladder up on the roof, and more surprisingly, convinced myself to crawl up it. I packed a drill, caulking, screws, and my rubber flashing boot in a bag and started to climb up. The plan was to go as high up on Roy’s ladder as I could, and then grab hold of my ladder to move the rest of the way up the roof. My first attempted failed.
Not by any fault of my new ladder, or Roy’s, but because I looked down. On try number two, I didn’t look down, and I managed to make the scramble from one ladder to the other with a bag full of chimney parts in one hand. Roy watched from the street, puffing on a Winston. I asked him if he was going to catch me if I fell. “No,” he said. “But I’ll call 9-1-1.” So encouraged, I slowly got up on my knees and stuffed the flashing boot over the top of the chimney. I screwed it down and caulked around the base. Then I headed back down the ladder, and then back up again with the rain cap. Once the rain cap was on, the project was officially completed. That evening it was 48 degrees outside. But it was a toasty 86 in the Judd household. I had to crack the door open to let some heat out. All completed, minus taking off the mortar frame boards and installing trim. Southpaw crashed out with his head on the hearth. Peg and I sat next to each other on the couch, listening to sticks snap and crackle in the flames. The ladder I built is still on top of the roof. Maybe next week I’ll figure out how to get it down.
ll Fa
FROM 1C why beetles seem to pick the same sites, not necessarily every year, but perhaps more frequently than they pick nearby areas. From the exterior of the house, they may move indoors by crawling under defective weather stripping or by crawling and flying in open doors on warm days. The beetles can fit through very small gaps or cracks in siding, masonry, around window and door casings, and even through attic and soffit vents. The beetles hibernate as adults, usually in wall voids (they cannot survive long in the heated rooms of a house). The multicolored Asian lady beetle does not reproduce indoors. In spring, they will move outdoors in search of prey. Fortunately, multicolored Asian lady beetles are primarily a nuisance only. If squashed, however, the beetles may stain fabric and painted surfaces. They do not eat wood or furniture. Some people have reported receiving a mild nip by beetles that have landed on them. There have been concerns that large numbers of beetles may possibly cause air quality problems indoors that could trigger allergies and/or asthmatic reactions. Pesticides have limited
effectiveness in stopping the beetle invasion. Repeatedly spraying the entire interior or exterior areas of a house isn’t practical, economical or, most importantly, safe for humans and pets. Although foggers set off in the attic may kill many beetles, they do not affect beetles that are under insulation or inside walls. Also, many people use more foggers than are appropriate for the size area to be treated and this may pose a potential fire hazard. If you feel that you need to use pesticides to slow the beetles’ intrusion into your home, you can use the same product for control of boxelder bugs. While it is not 100 percent effective, preventing the beetles from entering the home is currently one of the best long-term approaches to dealing with the lady beetles. • Adjust or install tightfitting sweeps or thresholds at the bottom of exterior doors. • Install weather-stripping around other parts of the doorframe. • Seal utility openings where air conditioner pipes, phone, cable TV and other wires enter the foundation and siding. Holes can be plugged with caulk, cement, urethane foam or copper mesh. Steel wool may be used, but it may rust and possibly stain siding if it is exposed to the weather. • Caulk around windows,
doors, siding and fascia boards. • Keep window screens in good condition and install insect screening behind attic gable vents. • If you decide to vacuum up the beetles, empty the vacuum bag relatively soon afterwards. Entomologists at Ohio State University have found an easier way to collect vacuumed beetles by inserting a woman's knee-high stocking into the vacuum's extension hose and then securing it with a rubber band before putting the attachment back on. This allows you to trap the beetles inside the stocking. You can transfer the beetles to a container and keep them in a refrigerator over
INDOORS FROM 1C We are presently enjoying chrysanthemums, but these plants do contain pyrethrins which cause gastrointestinal upsets and can cause depression of the central nervous system and loss of coordination. Even peace lilies, (spathiphyllum) which are enjoyed as house plants in many of our homes, contain calcium oxalate which, if eaten by a pet causes irritation around the mouth, vomiting and possibly difficulty swal-

Or you may toss your beetle-filled stocking into the garbage or dump the beetles into a container, freeze them and then discard them.

Frugal families sometimes splurge on technology. For example, it might seem odd for a family on a budget to have a landline phone and multiple cell phones. But there are plenty of valid reasons to have both phone services. If you’re considering dropping your landline, think it through. You might want to cut back in SARA other areas. NOEL Here are a few reasons why even frugal people have both. Spotty service: Many people can’t get great cell phone service from any carrier at their home. In my own home, I can be in only a few rooms in the entire house if I want to use my cell phone. No contract: Some people don’t want a cell phone contract or can’t get coverage where they live, so they have prepaid cell phones for when they’re away from home and keep their landline. Work: Many jobs require their employees to have a cell phone for work purposes. Some people prefer a landline to be able to fax documents, too. Another reader, Saule from Illinois, adds: “When my husband was unemployed a few years ago, he had to call in weekly to report his jobsearching efforts, etc., to continue benefits, and that could only be done on a landline.” Safety: Many households have both services for emergencies. Another reader, G.G. From Greece, shares: “We don’t have a landline anymore, but when I used to live in the United States, I lived in a highcrime neighborhood, and I needed the landline for my security system to function (so it could automatically call for help).” Many new alarm systems/services have wireless service now, but if you haven’t updated your system, you’ll need that landline. Consider 911 emergencies, too. D.F., an emergency 911 dispatcher from North Carolina, adds: “I would highly recommend those who choose to have only cell phones teach their children their address, along with directions to the home from a known location. Many 911 communications centers have what’s called “phase 2” capability. This means that we can locate a cell caller within a certain number of feet. Most of the time we are able to get help to the correct location. That is only if you are within that agency’s wireless reach. If you are not, such as in another county, you will have to know your location.

Before the conference, youth gather key information about youth issues, local government and community needs in their county. At the conference, this information is put together with the new knowledge gained to create a community-based citizen action plan to implement once the youth return home.

What does it take to make a home feel inviting? Love, of course. But since that can’t be packaged and purchased, let’s look at some things that can be used to inspire that cozy feeling at home. Color schemes should be thought out in advance. For a cozy atmosphere, think about warm combinations. Yellows, tans and beiges work, plus terra cotta, subdued reds and greens all make a room come together while inviting the inhabitants to feel comfortable. The family room, for example, should have at least two favorite chairs that fit the people using them. Ottomans or chairs that recline should be included in this chair scenario. After all, what better way to watch your favorite TV show or sports event than reclining comfortably after a long day’s work? When selecting furniture, textured fabrics and plumplooking pieces give the feeling of warmth. Remember that too much of a pattern could make the room look overcrowded. Leave the sleeklooking furnishings to a more modern or more formal home. Opt for soft and fluffy throw pillows. Don’t forget to throw an afghan over the arm of one or two pieces of furniture for those colder evenings. Wood accent tables add to the warmth of any room. Keep it on the simpler side, though, because if the wood is too ornate, you run the risk of having the room feel too formal. Throw rugs always seem to make a room come together even if there is a wall-to-wall carpet. The area rug delineates a space, creating a conversation grouping of the furnishings around it. Candles have a unique way of cozying up a room even if they aren’t lit. If the candles are placed in front of a mirror, the light emitted when the candle is lit bounces off the mirror, creating a playful dance that permeates the room. Another way to cozy up a space is by arranging the furniture to be inviting. If there is a fireplace in the room, arrange the furniture around it. Whether the fireplace is lit or not, the arrangement of furniture around it will be inviting. If no fireplace is available, still arrange the furniture as if there were one. In other words, a square or rectangular effect works best with a long piece such as a sofa to anchor one side and

out for sure how your parents would take this news would be to talk with them, listen carefully to what they say and then make the wisest, safest and healthiest choice for you — not your boyfriend or your parents. Dear Amy: I have been dating an elderly man who lost his wife several years ago. He is a polite gentleman, and we have wonderful times together. Before our dating, he spent time socially with a group — including a woman whom he frequently mentions. They still run into each other on occasion because of where they work, but she now has a boyfriend. He speaks of her with such warmth and enthusiasm that I find myself becoming very jealous. When he first spoke of her, I let him know of my jealous temperament. This last time that he recounted tales about her, I listened politely but was fuming inside. Perhaps I am insecure, but his words make me feel that he would pursue this other woman if she were to split up with her boyfriend. Because of this, I sometimes feel that I should just keep him only as a friend. We do tell each other “I love you,” but our relationship has been platonic thus far. What’s your advice? —R Dear R: The most obvious solution to your problem is for you to meet this other person to try to determine what your boyfriend sees in her and to watch the dynamic between them. You should suggest a double date. Men and women should be able to have friendships that don’t impinge on their roman-

Dear Amy: I am 18 years old and a senior in high school. I have been openly gay for about a year and a half. My boyfriend has asked me to move in with him in the next couple of months. My parents know I am gay but hate my boyfriend with a passion for no reason at all. I want to move in with ASK him, but am AMY afraid of how my parents will take it since they don’t like him. I don’t want to lose my relationship with my parents over this issue. How can I overcome this obstacle? — Confused Dear Confused: You don’t give any information about your boyfriend, other than that he wants you to move in with him and that your parents despise him. I urge you to make sure that whatever choices you make are the best choices for you — regardless of pressure you’re receiving from either side of this issue. You are legally an adult, but you are also still in high school; your priority should be to graduate and to find something useful to do with your life. I would never suggest that a person in high school should move in with a boyfriend or girlfriend. If your home life is abusive, dangerous or frightening, then, yes, you must leave the home, but from what you say it’s hard to tell if you fear anything more than your parents’ disapproval.

Plumber: Vessel sinks — A very old idea for a new bathroom BY ED DEL GRANDE
As indoor plumbing became standard in most homes, sinks changed shape and were mounted in vanities and countertops or hung on the wall.

Q: Every week I look forward to picking up plumbing tips for my home. What I need to know are the ins and outs of picking out a vessel sink for a bathroom. I went online thinking this would be an easy task, but there was so much information that I got lost in the shuffle. Can you please give me some Ed-friendly, easy-tounderstand information on vessel sinks? — Lori, Georgia

and materials, I’m going to focus on the bowl-type styles and three of the most popular materials. This will help you cut through a lot of the clutter. First, we have vitreous china. China is basically fired clay coated with a bright glaze. It’s probably the most versatile material used for vessel sinks. The color, style and decorative aspects of a china vessel sink can match up with just about any bathroom layout and design. Next we get a little fancy with thick-glass vessel sinks. Of course, glass will be

Rounding out my top three is stone. Yes, sinks cut from an actual block of marble, creating a totally natural style of vessel sink. Stone can really take you way back to the days of old, especially if you walk around your bathroom in a toga. Keep in mind a few side notes that you also need to consider with vessel sinks: Matching countertops, faucets and extra plumbing labor that are needed to install this type

A: The cost of energy is almost always in the news and historically has never decreased in price for any extended period of time. I think we can expect the costs of energy to rise in the next 20 years. Costs to produce and deliver electricity vary from state to state. The future may well depend on more nuclear, solar and wind sources as our natural resources dwindle, but the only long-term dependable source is nuclear. I know that’s not a popular answer for some, but currently I see no alternative. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that there are 2,587 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable natural gas in the United States. That’s a large number, and considering the annual use of natural gas in America for 2009 was 22,738 billion cubic feet, that means we have a 113-year supply of a nonrenewable resource. With that said, a standard electric water heater is more efficient than a standard gas heater, but will cost more to operate over time. Leaving out geothermal and solar water heaters, the tankless gas water heater would be my choice as far as energy conservation and operation costs; however, the initial expense of installation will be two to three times that of a standard water heater.

Our water source is a private well. My two teenage sons and I seem to use a lot of hot water. Our current electric water heater, which is a 50-gallon model, is leaking and will need to be replaced. Which type of water heater would be best for us: gas or electric, tank or tankless? The current thinking is that gas tankless would be cheaper to operate. What about the possible increase in gas prices in the next 10 to 20 years? We would be using LP gas.

A: This is a fun topic, since vessel sinks have been making a big splash in the plumbing world recently. First off, these so-called “new style” sinks actually go way back to the years when indoor-plumbing systems were hard to find. Vessel sinks are reminiscent of washbasins and pitchers of water that sat on vanity countertops. Basically, they look like large bowls with finished inside and outside walls. As plumbing progressed, indoor plumbing became a standard system in most homes. Vessel sinks changed shape and were mounted inside our vanities and countertops, or were hung on walls. Vessel sinks are now the preferred high-end choice for many bathrooms. Even though vessel sinks are available in many styles
self. My recommendation is to have your plumber price a standard lavatory sink for your bathroom, along with an upgrade price for a vessel sink. Then, if you can swing it, go for the vessel. If not, stay inside your budget with a sink that stays inside your vanity. Contractor/ Master

Dear reader: This is a simple same-day procedure, meaning that you will enter the hospital in the morning, have the procedure performed, and be discharged a short time after the sedative wears off. Colonoscopy is preceded by a preparation that will be explained by someone from your doctor’s office. You will be given a solution to drink that will remove all solids from your digestive DR. PETER tract. Following that, you GOTT will be restricted to drinking liquids such as clear soup broth, fruit juice, ginger ale or tea the day before. You can work or function as you would ordinarily but will find yourself spending a fair amount of time in the bathroom. After you check in at the hospital, you will receive a sedative through an IV tube to help you relax. Once in the operating room, your doctor will insert a flexible tube with a camera known as a colonoscope into your rectum. Air will inflate the colon as the
colonoscope advances. Images from the camera will be sent to a computer monitor that he or she watches throughout the procedure. If polyps or unusual tissue are noted, small tools can pass through the scope to remove the questionable material so the tissue can be biopsied. The whole process usually takes an hour or less. You will then be taken to the recovery room, and once the sedative wears off, will likely be free to go home. Because of the sedative, it will be necessary to have a ride home. Some patients experience temporary gas and bloating following colonoscopy because of the air introduced into the rectum, but this is normal. Your physician will advise you to report to him or her if pain, bleeding, fever or other symptoms occur. At your next appointment or through a telephone conversation from your physician, you will be advised of the results. If all is well, you will likely be cleared from further testing for five to 10 years. Colonoscopy can be a lifesaver. It can detect cancer in its early stages, and any lesions can be removed early. Because of your age, your physician is timely with his recommendation. While the procedure may be mentally daunting, it can save years of treatment when cancer is detected early. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “An
Informed Approach to Surgery.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: Is there some difference in the throat, mouth or salivary glands of a man from a woman that makes it necessary for them to always spit? You don’t see most women doing this. Dear reader: Not to my knowledge. There are some traits men (and women) have that are rather unattractive, and spitting is one of them, particularly for men. I can understand that if a man chews tobacco, he might have an increased urge to spit. Belching, chewing food with your mouth open, scratching and tooting are but a few of the more mild things one should never do when not alone. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDr GottMD.com.
Work-related enterprises could prove to be particularly beneficial financially in the next year. The projects that are likely to be some of your best producers will have something unique and special about them. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Shifting conditions over which you have no control can sometimes put you at a severe disadvantage. However, these unexpected changes will now benefit you instead of work against you. Enjoy! Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — All your better qualities will be in evidence, but your best assets will be your sales and promotional skills. Use them well to put yourself on top of the heap. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Situations that previously produced obstacles can now generate special opportunities. Breathe new vitality into your work and/or whatever it is that has always brought you status and rewards. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Although it normally isn’t too smart to mix business and pleasure, this won’t be the case for you at this juncture. Several new business opportunities could come your way through social involvements. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Even if it is a bit inconvenient, try to work on and complete something that you’ve been anxious to finish. This can be a fortunate day for you, and things might not be as good tomorrow. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Something that you’ve been working toward but haven’t been able to produce as yet could be showing signs manifesting. Stay on top of your game, success is a lot closer than you think. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Whether we like it or not, our reputations, integrity and credibility are all judged by how well we handle our finances. It behooves you to take special care to do your best. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Success is indicated in activities you take special care to manage. Don’t dilute your effectiveness by delegating some of your jobs to others who can’t do them as well as you can. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Greater possibilities for gains are indicated, if you utilize several channels that you usually don’t employ. Rather than going through your regular sources, try something new. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Two unassociated individuals who have proven to be fortunate for you in the past are likely to cross your path again. The circumstances could be somewhat different, but the results will be just the same. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Far more opportunities than usual exist concerning your work or career. One of two unexpected breaks could even come through some contacts that have powerful affiliations. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You should do well today in activities that possess friendly elements of competition, so don’t hesitate to participate in one or two when urged to do so. You may even outshine someone who usually wins. United FeatUre Syndicate

Use dummy’s trumps to establish a suit BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, a Roman emperor in the second century A.D., said, “Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.” Then the trumps will look after themselves. In three columns this week, declarer had to retain enough trumps to draw the missing ones after he had all of his side-suit tricks ready to run. In this deal the trump suit is solid. The concern is safely establishing your side suit. You reach six hearts, and West leads the diamond king. What would you do? North’s four diamonds was a control-bid (cue-bid) showing the diamond ace and a good raise to four hearts. With a lloonngg diamond suit,
North would have rebid five diamonds or three no-trump. You, with a possible two-club opening, stood on ceremony not a moment longer. With a diamond loser, you must establish your spade suit, draw trumps, and run the spades. But the missing spades are more likely to be 4-2 than 3-3 (48.45 percent to 35.53 percent). And if the spades are breaking 4-2, you will have to ruff two spades in the dummy. Also, of course, you mustn’t suffer an overruff. This is the sequence of play: Win with dummy’s diamond ace, play a heart to your ace, cash the spade ace and ruff a low spade in the dummy. Do not cash the spade king first. Then, play a trump to your hand and ruff another low spade with dummy’s heart

SHOWPLACE OF KANNAPOLIS CANNON VILLAGE
LOS ANGELES (AP) — News Corp.’s Fox has joined broadcasters ABC, CBS and NBC in blocking access to full episodes of shows when searched from Google TV’s Web browser, according to a source at Fox. The move took effect Wednesday, about three weeks after other broadcasters blocked access. The delay was because Google TV had just launched and wasn’t in enough homes to be seen as a top priority, the source said.

Passengers on stricken cruise ship return to American port SAN DIEGO (AP) — A disabled cruise liner inched into San Diego Bay on Thursday after three nightmarish days adrift on the Pacific, bringing cheers from passengers who described trying to pass the time with limited food, backed-up toilets and dark cabins. The 4,500 passengers and crew members trickled off slowly throughout the day, the process slowed by disabled elevators, out of order since the engine room fire Monday that left the ship adrift off Mexico. Pulled by six tugboats and escorted by Coast Guard cutters, the nearly 1,000-foot Carnival Splendor reached the dock about 8:30 a.m. PST, unable to steer or propel itself. The first of the nearly 3,300 passengers walked down a ramp about an hour later, dragging suitcases into a tent on the dock. The rest had all left the ship by early afternoon.
DNA tests raise doubts about Texas execution DALLAS (AP) — A DNA test on a strand of hair has cast doubt on the guilt of a Texas man who was executed 10 years ago during George W. Bush’s final months as governor for a liquor-store robbery and murder. The single hair had been the only piece of physical evidence linking Claude Jones to the crime scene. But the DNA analysis found it did not belong to Jones and instead may have come from the murder victim. Barry Scheck, co-founder of the Innocence Project, a New York legal center that uses DNA to exonerate inmates and worked on Jones’ case, acknowledged that the hair doesn’t prove an innocent man was put to death. But he said the findings mean the evidence was insufficient under Texas law to convict Jones. Jones, a career criminal who steadfastly denied killing the liquor store owner, was ex-

sparks talk of trade war
Deficit panel pushes tax hikes, spending cuts
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The world’s economies stand on the brink of a trade war as leaders of rich and emerging nations gather in Seoul. A dispute over whether China and the United States are manipulating their currencies is threatening to resurrect destructive protectionist policies like those that worsened the Great Depression. The biggest fear is that trade barriers will send the global economy back into recession. Hopes had been high that the Group of 20, which includes wealthy nations like Germany and the U.S. and rising giants like China, could be a forum to forge a lasting global economic recovery. Yet so far, G-20 countries haven’t even agreed on an agenda. The delegates have clashed in particular over the value of their currencies. Some countries, like the United States, want China to let the value of its currency, the yuan, rise. That would make Chinese exports costlier abroad and make U.S. imports cheaper for the Chinese to buy. It would shrink the United States’ trade deficit with China.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of the deficit commission are baldly calling out the budget myths of both political parties, challenging lawmakers to engage in the “adult conversation” they say they want. Their plan — mixing painful cuts to Social Security and Medicare with big tax increases — has no chance of enactment as written, certainly not as a whole. But the commission’s high profile will make it harder for Republicans and Democrats to simply keep reciting their tax and spending talking points without acknowledging the real sacrifices that progress against government deficits would demand. It’s time for both conservatives and liberals to “put up or shut up,” says Jon Cowan, head of the centrist-Democratic group Third Way, which praised the bold new proposals and urged politicians to show courage. Republicans failed to produce their often-promised deficit reductions when they controlled the government, Cowan said, and Democrats refuse to acknowledge that entitlement pro-
tion that once was kept on individual computers is stored in central locations, making it cheaper and available whenever it’s demanded.

Glenn Kornegay said Thursday that state Division of Public Health investigators told his staff five medical technicians had reused diabetes pens when checking patients’ blood sugar levels.

GASTONIA (AP) — A bank robbery suspect accused of scaring a Gaston County woman to death after hiding in her home has been sentenced to life in prison. Larry Whitfield, 22, of Charlotte was sentenced in federal court Wednesday. Whitfield had been convicted of attempted bank robbery, weapons charges and trying to avoid arrest. Prosecutors say Whitfield and a co-defendant tried to rob a credit union in Gastonia in 2009. They say Whitfield forced his way into the home of Mary Parnell, 79, to hide from police. Police say Whitfield made Parnell sit in a chair, then left the house. An autopsy showed she died from a heart attack.

HICKORY (AP) — Police said Thursday they have discovered new evidence in the case of a disabled North Carolina girl missing for more than a month, but authorities were tightlipped about exactly what they found. Hickory Police Department said it had given the evidence to analysts at the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, but that detailing it may jeopardize their investigation. Zahra Baker has been missing since Oct. 9, and authorities think the 10-yearold is dead. Police have found her artificial left leg and are also testing a bone to see if it belongs to her.
