Officer kills man who came at him with bat Police say victim had attacked his father BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
A Salisbury Police officer is on administrative duty after he shot and killed a man during a domestic dispute early Saturday. Authorities responded just before 1 a.m. to 2410 Stokes Ferry Road where they found James Richard Brown, 46, had assaulted his father with a baseball bat. The father’s name has not been released. Brown refused the officers’ commands to drop the bat and instead advanced in a BROWN threatening manner, according to police. Officer J.R.

Economic officials say spending money to lure business makes sense BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Cash grants and other incentives have helped generate $35.5 million in net revenue for Rowan County since 2000, according to an economic development study. A 10-year snapshot of incentives awarded to Rowan County companies shows using money, discount-
ed land and utility extensions to lure private industry has paid off, advocates say. Rowan County economic developers are touting the results of an impact analysis of incentives dating from 2000. While taxpayers have paid companies $8.9 million to locate or expand in Rowan County, projects lured with an incentive have generated $44.4 million in
property taxes. “The revenue many times exceeds what we’ve provided in assistance, and there are literally thousands of jobs directly created by these companies,” said Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks, which serves as the county’s Economic Development

Other variables key when companies decide where to go

While incentives stir intense debate and receive a good deal of publicity, their ability to help communities land new companies and jobs is limited, an economic development consultant says. “Incentives are a hot topic,” said Jeannette Goldsmith, principal with McCallum Sweeney Consulting in Greenville, S.C. “The role they play is an extremely important part of the process, but they are not important until the end.” Site selection, community appeal and workforce quality all come before incentives when a company wants to move or expand, Goldsmith said. “If you have all those other things, then incentives matter very much,” she said. Companies from around the world hire Goldsmith to narrow their site selection. Although she has never placed a client in Rowan County, Goldsmith reviewed the Trevey site in Spencer this summer as part of Duke Energy’s Site Readiness Program. RowanWorks Economic Development recently completed an impact analysis of incentives, which found that since 2000, Rowan County has spent $8.9 million on cash grants and retained $35.5 million in property taxes paid by companies with incentives. While incentives can mitigate some weaknesses of a site, “incentives will never make a bad site good,” Goldsmith said. If a company needs rail and the site isn’t near a line, “it doesn’t matter how big of a check that community is going to write,” she said. “Communities love to say they lost a project because of incentives, but I really caution people from going down that path,” Goldsmith said. When a community doesn’t win, the decision could just as easily have been where the CEO’s spouse wanted to live, or whether an executive liked the restaurant’s wine list, she said. Incentives are not always about the dollar

Foreclosures in North Carolina are set to hit last year’s record by the end of the month — and Rowan County is on pace to break its all-time mark. According to foreclosure data compiled by the N.C. Justice Center, a progressive research and advocacy group, Rowan County had 717 foreclosures through Sept. 30, compared with 814 in all of 2009 and 791 in 2008. The Justice Center projects that the number will total 956 by the end of 2010, which is the highest number since at least 2000. As a whole, North Carolina is projected to see 70,476 foreclosure filings this year and break last year’s record of 63,286 on Nov. 23. Rowan is the 18th county in the state for total foreclosures and 30th for the per capita rate. Cabarrus County is 11th on both lists. It had 1,481 foreclosures last year, 1,247 by Sept. 30 and a projected 1,663 by the end of this year. Jeff Shaw, spokesman with the Justice Center, said there is a reason foreclosures are so high this year. “The bubble burst in late 2008,” Shaw said. “There is always lag time when a devastating crisis happens.” He said people who lose a job or can’t find one may work through a “nest egg” of savings before eventually falling behind on their bills. While the nationwide economy may be slowly working its way toward economic recovery, unemployment is still high. Jobs have been created, but not enough to make up for all those that were lost in the recession. The good news, according to Shaw, is that there may be less of a lag time in the North Carolina recovery.
Johnny Jones, a PGT team leader, was hired thanks to incentives.
Even with less pay than previous job, new position a blessing BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
After nearly 14 years at Freightliner, Johnny Jones lost his job in 2008. His wife, Tanya, is a homemaker. Between them, they have three kids at home. They suddenly had lost their only source of income. “It wasn’t easy,” said Jones, 44. “It got pretty tough.” Jones had been a salaried supervisor at Freightliner, and he received a severance package when he lost his job. The money didn’t last long. He tried driving a truck for about seven months. But he was gone from home much of the time and making little money, he said. “That’s when things got bad,” he said. They were evicted from their rental home in Rockwell and moved in with his

wife’s parents in Spencer. Then Jones saw a job posting for PGT Industries, a window manufacturer on Heilig Road that received cash grants and other incentives to move to Rowan County in 2006. “Now hiring,” the sign said. “All shifts.” Jones began work on the manufacturing line at PGT in August 2009. He was making a fraction of his former salary, but it was a job. He took classes at the plant in leadership, team-building and safety, which were paid for by an incentive training grant from the state. A month later, he earned a promotion to team leader. And a pay raise. Jones is still an hourly employee, making less than his salary at Freightliner.

Coates to make formal request for recount Monday BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
State Rep. Lorene Coates says she will formally ask Monday for a recount of the votes cast in the race for her 77th District seat, but she doesn’t think it will change the outcome. Results certified by the Rowan County Board of Elections Friday showed Republican Harry Warren still outpolling Democrat Coates by 167 votes, two votes less than an earlier count. “It’s so close,” Coates said Saturday. With some 18,000 ballots cast in the race, she said, 167 was too small a difference not to call for a recount, she said. “I think Harry would do it if it were the other way,” Coates said. “I think either party would call for a recount. It’s too close not to call for
one.” The results most likely will be the same, Coates said, with her retiring from the House sooner than planned. She has represented half of Rowan County in the House for 10 years. Coates said a friend told her that, in six months, she’d probably be glad she lost. She said she was going out with her head held high. Asked if the Republican push for legislative seats caught the state’s Democrats off guard, Coates said money played a big role in the outcome — particularly the money conservative Art Pope poured into campaigning for Republicans. One analysis by Facing South, a left-leaning group, found that three independent groups backed by Pope poured $1.1 million into 21 state legislative races targeted by Republi-

cans. Pope and his family members contributed another $232,000 into those races, the Facing South report said, for a total of over $1.3 million spent on the state races by Pope and his family. “He’s literally bought the legislature,” Coates said, referring to the new Republican majority in both houses of the General Assembly. Also contributing heavily was
the Washington-based Republican State Leadership Committee, which paid for mailers and TV ads that attacked Coates and Democratic lawmakers. The committee gave at least $850,000 to a Pope-backed nonprofit called Real Jobs NC, reports the News & Observer of Raleigh. The new Republican majority will need new leaders. A Post photo in Tuesday’s paper showed Rep. Julia Howard of Davie and Rep. Thom Tillis of Charlotte, both Republicans, closely watching Warren going over a list of absentee voters and their party affiliation. Coates said the two are jockeying for leadership positions in the House. Howard contributed $1,000 to Warren’s campaign, Coates said. Tillis, former minority whip, wants to be speaker of the House. Coates said he’d probably make a
good one. “He’s a really smart man.” In addition to Coates, at least two other Democratic incumbents from the House are waiting for a recount or a final decision on a recount. They are Diane Parfitt of the 44th District and Rick Glazier in the 45th. In their cases, though, the Democratic candidate received slightly more votes, and the Republican opponent either has called for a recount or is considering it. Recounts are taking place across the country, with nine congressional races still in limbo, including the 2nd District race in North Carolina. Incumbent Democrat Bob Etheridge trailed tea-party-backed Republican Renee Ellmers by 1,489 votes out of nearly 190,000 cast after the official count, less than the 1 percent threshold that enables him to call for a recount.
$500 reward offered to help effort in finding clerk’s killer
Biggest threat to sturgeons: mankind
SPENCER — With police still searching for leads, a bail bondsman is offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the Friday morning slaying of a young store clerk. Phillip Bradshaw of Bradshaw’s Bail Bonding Co. announced the bond on the Salisbury Post website early Saturday morning. Spencer Police Chief Michael James said he had spoken with Bradshaw and confirmed the reward. James said he wanted to get the word out about the reward. An unknown gunman or gunmen shot Dee Rios, 20, during a robbery at Latin Mix, 429 N. Salisbury Ave., on Friday morning. Rios had opened the store for the day at 7:30 a.m. At 7:54, she hit a panic button that
HOPEWELL, Va. (AP) — Researcher Matt Balazik wears his passion for saving the Atlantic sturgeon on his right arm — a tattoo of the ancient fish — and lives it by counting the bottom-feeding giants in the James River. The 30-year-old doctoral student is part sturgeon wrangler, part census taker as he patrols the river in a small boat, checking 1,000-foot-long nets for what scientists believe is the last viable reproductive population of Atlantic sturgeon in the Chesapeake Bay. Sturgeon, which have survived virtually unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs, are dwindling worldwide under the influence of humans. You hear these monster fish before you see them — Atlantic sturgeon leap out of the water and land with a loud splash, like a log dropped from above. On a recent languid fall day on the river, in one of his last checks of the day in this shoestring recovery effort, Balazik has snared a sturgeon in his net and hauls it into the well of his boat. Working with the skill of a Savile Row tailor, he records the big male’s length, girth and gender, tags it, then lifts it onto a scale before posing with his trophy for a picture and tossing the 6-foot-long, armor-plated fish back into the river’s silt-flecked waters. “Their strength is just amazing,” said Balazik, who has learned how to work with them rather than against them. “They just have great personalities.” Several species of sturgeon range from the Canadian Maritimes and the Great Lakes to Florida. The once-bountiful Atlantic sturgeon that sustained North America’s first European settlers and Native Americans now may number in the hundreds in the Chesapeake Bay, but no one really knows. “If sturgeon are to be restored to the Chesapeake Bay, it will happen on the backs of the James River population,” said Greg C. Garman, director for the Center for Environmental Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and one of the leaders of this collaborative effort. In October, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration announced the Chesapeake Bay sturgeon was among five East Coast populations proposed for protection. The others range from New York to the South Atlantic states. The proposed listing is a desperate attempt to save “a fish of superlatives,” Garman says. The listing would be aimed at saving the fish’s habitat, as their harvest already is banned. “Sturgeon is the most endangered family of fish,” said Brad Sewell, senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, which has pushed for protections. “Globally, they’re all going extinct.” Sturgeon populations across the world have been threatened because of overfishing, pollution and dams that prevent the fish from reaching spawning grounds. Earlier this year, the Washington, D.C.-based Consortium for Ocean Leadership reported that 85 percent of sturgeon populations worldwide were at risk of becoming extinct. In the U.S., sturgeon populations were depleted in the late 19th century as demand grew for their caviar. Now the greatest threats to the At-
alerted police. Responding officers found her injured, and she was pronounced dead soon after at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Though the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office had dogs out trying to track the suspect Friday and a Highway Patrol helicopter flew overhead to aid the search, James said he had no progress to report in the case yet. Bradshaw’s online posting anticipates more rewards. It says: “Bradshaw’s Bail Bonding company will add a $500 reward to any other rewards offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person/persons responsible for this terrible crime.” James said anyone with information to share about the crime should call 911.
Cleveland County sheriff fired from post before he takes office Dec. 6 SHELBY (AP) — A sheriff who lost a Democratic primary to his captain fired his subordinate after the captain won the general election. Cleveland County Sheriff Raymond Hamrick fired Capt. Alan Norman and three other deputies involved in the sheriff-elect’s transition team, in part because they drove department cars to interview employees for the new administration. Hamrick told The Star of Shelby he was just enforcing department policy. Hamrick got just 2 percent of the vote in the primary that Norman won. Norman and the three deputies said they were shocked when they were fired Friday. Norman takes over as sheriff Dec. 6.
Fayetteville police officer shoots, kills dog FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — The Fayetteville police department says it will review a fatal dog shooting by an officer. Police spokesman Lt. Chris Davis said that Officer Jason Beldon was helping a woman who said she was trapped in her car by a Rottweiler in her yard. Davis says the officer used his car to distract the dog and it went back to its own yard. While the officer was talking with the woman, the dog came back to her yard and charged at them. Davis says the officer shot the dog once, but the dog charged at him again and the officer fired again. But the dog’s owner 21-year-old Cheryl Hillsman says the family pet named Cochief was not quite a year old and was not a threatening animal.
1 killed, 2 hurt when car crashes into bus WALLBURG (AP) — A driver has died and two others were injured when a car crashed into a bus from the North Carolina School for the Deaf. Investigators did not identify the driver of the car who was killed in the Friday afternoon crash. School spokeswoman Renee McCoy said the bus had just dropped off its last student and only the bus driver and another adult were on the bus when it was hit. McCoy said their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

lantic sturgeon are pollution, climate change and cargo ships that navigate up the James and the Hudson River in New York State. Garman has found sturgeon cleanly sliced in half by the propellers of those ships. Before the bay’s sturgeon can be restored, however, researchers have much to learn. The big fish spend most of their lives in north Atlantic waters, returning to their native waters in the James to spawn. Garman calls them “terrific explorers.” “Our fish are caught in the Hudson, the Delaware,” he said. “They’re moving all over the place.”
Brothers caught carrying a ton of pot on I-77 near Columbia COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Two brothers have been arrested after police say they were hauling 2,608 pounds of marijuana down Interstate 77 near Columbia. The State of Columbia reported Saturday that the trailer the two men were hauling was so overloaded that it was weaving and caught the attention of Richland County Deputy Thomas McLamb. McLamb says he smelled marijuana and used a drug dog
to search the truck and cargo trailer. That’s where he found more than a ton of pot divided into 114 bundles. The value of the drugs depends on quality, but could range from $6 million to $11 million. According to jail records, Heriberto Solorio, 39, and Hector Solorio, 28, of Mexico are being held on drug charges and an immigration detainer. There was no information about whether the men have an attorney.
Not too many years ago, researchers had pronounced the James River sturgeon population nearly extinct. Biologists couldn’t find the fish. Then commercial fishermen set them straight. In 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offered a bounty of $100 for each live sturgeon captured. Biologists were soon rewarded with nearly 300 sturgeon retrieved from the James, York and Rappahannock rivers. The fish were tagged then returned to the water. Sturgeon can range up to 15 feet, weigh hundreds of pounds and live a century. Skeletal remains found in a well at the Jamestown settlement and dating to 1609 revealed that the English who sailed into the Chesapeake Bay gorged on the fish. “Historically, culturally, you could make the case we’d all be speaking Spanish if it wasn’t for the Atlantic sturgeon and the effect they had on Jamestown,” said Garman, who credits the fish with staving off starvation for early settlers. With few research dollars available, Garman and others involved in the restoration have cobbled together a restoration effort that relies on graduate students, borrowed technology and the business community.
Asheville to residents: Shovel snow off sidewalks or face a fine ASHEVILLE (AP) — Just one light snow dusting into the winter weather season and Asheville residents are being reminded to clear snow and ice from sidewalks or face a fine. The Citizen-Times of Asheville reported Saturday that a recent city council vote allows city workers to issue $50 fines to residents and business owners who fail to remove snow from their sidewalks. The fines can be issued daily until the sidewalk is cleared up to a maximum of $5,000. Anyone intentionally piling snow onto sidewalks could face a criminal misdemeanor charge and a $500 fine. In warmer weather, the rule applies to yard debris and plant overgrowth. Public Works director Cathy Bell says fines would be a last resort.

INCENTIVES FROM 1A Commission. The 20 companies that have received incentives since 2000 — mostly cash grants — now employ about 4,100 people. Without these projects, Rowan County would have to raise the tax rate by more than 5 cents to maintain current services, Van Geons said. “It shows that every citizen and business is benefiting from a tax rate distinctly lower than if we hadn’t done these projects,” he said. While incentives have become a standardized part of the economic development process throughout North Carolina, they remain controversial — especially cash grants, which opponents have dubbed “corporate welfare.” But every county offers them, and both opponents and supporters agree they are here to stay, at least for the near future. Cash grants will play a critical role in Rowan County’s economic recovery, advocates say. “You can’t win a game if you’re standing on the sideline,” said Carl Ford, chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners.

Legal challenges delay any revenue from sales at Native American smokeshops BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s latest attempt to tax lucrative Native American smokeshop sales to non-Indian customers has generated mountains of legal briefs, hours of argument and a seemingly constant flurry of court decisions. What it hasn’t generated is any of the roughly half-million dollars per day in projected state revenue. Collections were to start Sept. 1, but legal challenges by five of New York’s Indian nations have indefinitely delayed them. “To a large extent, this is not a tax issue, it’s a constitutional law issue as to whether or not the state has the right to tax,” said Stuart Lazar, a University at Buffalo law professor who specializes in tax issues. The five Indian nations are pursuing multiple challenges, rather than a single, united one, because each is an independent nation with its own government, priorities and business models to protect, authorities said. The strategy has not only lengthened the legal debate but also has put the state’s lawyers in the position of defending the same tax law against multiple, simultaneous attacks, each coming from a different perspective. The state already has appealed a federal judge’s decision in Utica granting the Oneida Nation’s request to block the tax collections. State lawyers also have appealed two orders by a federal judge in Buffalo meant to give the Seneca, Cayuga, Unkechaug and St. Regis Mohawk nations time to appeal after he denied their requests to prevent collections. “The nations want to maintain
their sovereignty, and this is part of that whole process,” said Don Grinde, an American studies professor at the University at Buffalo. Each nation has a different set of factual circumstances that have to be considered, said Unkechaug Chief Harry Wallace, whose 400-member Long Island nation sold more than 5 million cartons of tax-free cigarettes in 2009, virtually all to non-tribal members, according to state records. The Cayuga Nation, meanwhile, operates two stores, both tribally owned, while the Seneca Nation’s cigarette economy comprises about 170 stores, most of them independently owned and operated. There are about 30 licensed cigarette retailers on the St. Regis Mohawk’s territory, and the Oneida Nation operates a dozen SavOn gas station-convenience stores. The Native American cigarette business has flourished as New York has increased its cigarette tax to $4.35 per pack — the highest in the country. Native smokeshops charge about half of the $10 that non-Native convenience stores charge for namebrand cigarettes and even less for brands manufactured on reservations. Taxing non-Indian smokeshop customers will produce $200 million a year in new revenues for the state, officials estimate, at a time of multibillion-dollar budget deficits. State lawyers say U.S. Supreme Court precedent is on their side, having upheld states’ rights to tax nonNative customers as long as the tax doesn’t impose more than minimal burdens on tribes.

While the most common incentives are income tax credits and property tax grants, job training is the most valuable incentive a community can offer, she said.

While incentives sometimes include utility extensions and transportation improvements like new roads, “companies don’t put a lot of value on that,” she said. “Their expectation is that those things should be there.” Companies want incentives that will
JOB FROM 1a But some of his friends who lost their jobs in 2008 still don’t have work. Thanks to incentives awarded to PGT, Jones said, he has a job and a good chance at another promotion to a salaried position. “I feel like one of the lucky ones,” he said. Jones said he believes incentives are important to help lure companies to Rowan County and create new jobs. “Just from my personal experience, I don’t see how you could say anything but it’s a good thing,” Jones said. “If it drives growth and new industry into Rowan County and it drives jobs, it can’t be anything but
“The data shows us, for the next 6 to 9 months, it will still be pretty hairy,” Shaw said. “Once we get through that period... and employers start to hire again, we’re confident foreclosures will start to decrease.” Chanaka V. Yatawara, executive director of the Salisbury Community Development Corp., said he has definitely noticed a recent increase in people seeking assistance from the agency. “We are booked up until December with (housing counseling) appointments,” Yatawara said. “We actually hired an extra person — an intake worker — in December (2009), because we saw an increase in the number of people needing help.” He said most people who come to the Community Development Corp. for help get out of foreclosure, and he encourages others to seek assistance sooner rather than later. “As long as families working with a housing counselor, we can usually save their home,” Yatawara said. Yatawara said when the agency first started, foreclosure prevention wasn’t what it planned on doing. The agency focused on community revitalization and building homes for low-income families. “There’s no point in building homes when we’re losing them to foreclosure,” Yatawara said. “The board said, ‘We’ve got to find a way to save these homes.’ ... Now, we’re doing foreclosure preven-

In North Carolina, every county offers them. “I don’t see any state in the U.S. that’s making a move to eliminate incentives across the board,” Goldsmith said. Banning incentives would have to come at the federal level, she said. The European Union outlawed them a few years ago to prevent countries from competing against each other for industry and jobs. It’s hard to imagine incentive packages, some of which have come close to $1 billion, getting much bigger, Goldsmith said. Upfront cash and free land are the new trends, she said. Rowan County offers neither. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
good.” In exchange for creating at least 300 jobs and expending $17 million in Rowan County, PGT received a 75 percent property tax break over five years on the value of the new investment. The plant has about 490 employees. Plant Manager Monte Burns said incentives helped lure PGT from Davidson County when the company was looking for a larger location. “That’s part of the reason we are here,” Burns said. “If we had not made the decision to come to this community, we would have been building this product in Florida or Lexington.” The company also won state grants totaling $180,000 for education and training, he said. “These help to give us a competitive advantage, which generates
tion more than anything else.” Robbie Stevens, housing and financial counselor with the Community Development Corp., said he often works with people who have medical conditions or have lost their jobs. “There is help out there,” Stevens said. “We’ll do anything in our power to help with the options available.” He said people should not respond to offers of assistance from those who charge money for help with foreclosure, because organizations like his do it for free. Housing counselors can help families communicate with lenders to work out payment plans or loan modifications. Starting Dec. 1, the federal N.C. Foreclosure Prevention Fund can pay a qualifying homeowner’s mortgage during a job search or job retraining, reinstate a mortgage by bringing your payments current or refinance an unaffordable second mortgage. Maximum loan amounts are 24 months of mortgage payments up to $24,000 in non-targeted counties, and 36 months of mortgage payments up to $36,000 in high unemployment counties. With 11.7 percent unemployment, Rowan is one of 50 targeted counties in North Carolina. Stevens said the Community Development Corp. will hold information sessions soon about the N.C. Foreclosure Prevention Fund and help set up homeowners with the program. More information about the fund is available online at www.ncforeclosureprevention.gov.

years against its tribal competitors’ price advantage, has supporting the state’s arguments. Ultimately, the issue could return to the U.S. Supreme Court, either through the tribes’ federal cases — which argue the state’s plans will impinge on their sovereign right to self government — or a separate state case brought by a North Country wholesaler and a Seneca businessman. Some of the biggest players in the tax-free cigarette business, the Seneca and Unkechaug nations, say the state tax would disrupt internal taxing structures, which bring in millions of dollars for member health and education programs. Others point to the jobs tribal members would lose when smokeshops inevitably close. “Unemployment will likely rise to greater than 80 percent,” Unkechaug Chief Wallace said in a sworn affidavit. The Cayuga Nation would “struggle to exist as a financially viable entity,” its court papers say. Past taxation attempts have led to violent protests, including one in 1997 involving tire fires that forced authorities to shut down a portion of the New York State Thruway that runs through the Seneca Nation’s western New York territory. “You’re talking about a huge issue and significant costs,” Lazar said. “You’ve got the $200 million a year on one side and all of the job losses on the other side.” But “it’s not just a monetary issue,” he said. “There’s a lot of emotions, especially with tribal members, about encroachment on their sovereignty.”

Energy drinks with alcohol may be pulled RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue wants energy drinks containing alcohol to be pulled from North Carolina store shelves. In a statement Friday, Perdue asked manufacturers of the beverages to pull their products from North Carolina until they’re shown to be safe. The state ABC Commission, which regulates alcohol sales, will consider restricting the drinks at its Nov. 18 meeting. Chairman Jon Williams says his proposal would take the beverages out of stores starting 68 days after the meeting. He wants to consult with medical experts and manufacturers about the drinks’ ingredients. Williams says each can has as much alcohol as about five beers. He wants more information about the stimulants in the products. Michigan, Utah, Oklahoma and Washington State have issued short-term bans on such drinks.

An employee told investigators that some testing equipment wasn’t routinely disinfected between uses. Eight patients contracted Hepatitis B.

Drive raises money for Alzheimer’s Association BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — It was a day of cruisin’ that just kept getting bigger. The 24 participants in Saturday’s Memory Drive for the Alzheimer’s Association started at Charlotte’s fundraising Memory Walk, where more than 2,000 people viewed the classic cars. Then they drove to Matthews, followed by what were to be quick stop-offs in Kannapolis and Salisbury before arriving at the N.C.
Transportation Museum in Spencer. But the charity poker rally turned into an impromptu car show for veterans at Salisbury’s Hefner VA Medical Center, organizer Dick Lunney said. “It was just amazing,” Lunney said, describing the lines of walkers who admired the cars, as well as the joy they brought to veterans during their visit. “It made you feel a part of something much bigger than yourself,” Lunney said. “It was absolutely awe-

Hearing set for guidelines on revaluation The public is invited to speak Monday on the schedules, standards and rules for Rowan County’s 2011 countywide reappraisal. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will hold the public hearing at 7 p.m. in the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building. At the board’s Oct. 19 meeting, County Tax Administrator Jerry Rowland said his office is working with a quarter of the home sales data that it did four years ago, but there is still enough to justify going forward with revaluation. The 2011 schedule of values is a guide to appraising property for tax purposes throughout the county. The document has been available for public examination since Oct. 19. Rowland has said he can’t predict if the countywide tax base will increase or decrease, but higherpriced homes are more likely to drop in value than lower-priced ones. Also at the meeting, commissioners plan to: • Hold a public hearing for text amendments to an ordinance on septage land application sites.

Years ago she worked, in fact, for an accounting firm. Then came a nine-year stint for the Social Security Administration, which is all about numbers. This was all before children, when the biggest number in her life became “2” — the two adopted daughters she and her husband, Jerry, raised. Back in July 1963, during the presidency of John F. Kennedy, Barnette decided to document every book she read. “I’ve read over MARK 10,000 books since WINEKA then,” she reports. Many are historic romance novels, “but, of course, I read others from time to time,” she says. But Barnette is steadily pushing toward a bigger number these days — 2,000. She has given herself a goal of crocheting 2,000 caps for newborn babies at Rowan Regional Medical Center. As of Oct. 15, Evelyn stood at 1,765. She knows this because she records each batch of new caps in the back of her “Home Medical Dictionary.” “When I get about 15 caps, I call them,” says Evelyn, who will be 96 in December and is living with her daughter Beverly at Trinity Oaks.

Commissioners take up Philip Morris bonds BY HUGH FISHER For the Salisbury Post
CONCORD — Monday’s Cabarrus Board of Commissioners meeting will help determine whether big plans for the former Philip Morris plant get off the ground. Earlier this month, plans were

According to a project synopsis online, the proposed Carolina USA Performance Park will combine “a diverse group of businesses with a

Harvest Moon Ball nears CARS FROM 5a Swaying to the sweet sounds of the Salisbury Swing Band, Julian Manigault, 86, is ready. It’s time for the fifth annual Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks Harvest Moon Ball to begin, and Manigault loves to dance. Started in 2006, the event is sponsored by Volunteer Catawba, a student service organization of nearby Catawba College. “The students plan everything down to the last detail,” said Brenda Zimmerman, LHTO activity director. “The theme, the decorations, the
music and compensation for the bands, the students take care of everything.” While students prepare the dance floor, dozens of family members and volunteers assist with hair, makeup, manicures, and formal wear. Even local photographer Steve Norman donates his time to snap keepsake photos. “It is a huge undertaking,” Zimmerman said. “The students, staff and family members, and volunteers—everyone works together to make it happen."

Surrounding it was a who’s who of American and European cars old and new, from Dodge Vipers to Chevy BelAirs, and Ford Mustangs from ’67 through the 2000s. Lunney said he felt the Memory Drive had “a good cross-section” of collectible and historic cars on display. He and daughter Margaret Moody put the event together to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, supporting the charity’s care and research services. Moody’s husband’s family has been
affected by Alzheimer’s. Banners and brochures told of the Alzheimer’s Association’s mission and gave information on the disease, but the afternoon was an opportunity for fellowship as drivers mingled with volunteers at the Transportation Museum. Chefs at the Magnolia Gardens Extended Care Community donated lunch: barbecued pork and chicken with all the trimmings. Amanda Gardner, marketing and admission director for Magnolia Gardens, said she was pleased to be a part of the event and raise awareness. “It’s a very hard disease for families to understand,” Gardner said. Saturday evening, Moody said that the Memory Drive raised just short of $1,500 for the Alzheimer’s Association’s research, education and support services for victims and families. “It has been wonderful,” Moody
said. She said she hoped those who stopped to look at the cars would also be more aware of Alzheimer’s and its impact on families. Many of the classic cars had placards in their windows listing the name of a friend or loved one who’d fallen victim to the disease. Lunney said the event, the first of its kind in the Charlotte region, drew a good crowd despite coming at the end of a long classic car cruise season. A number of the drivers took their cars back to Kannapolis in the evening for the final downtown classic car cruise-in of the year. “Hopefully, this will start to build some momentum,” Lunney said, and that even more car owners will take part in the Memory Drive next year.

Pepper yearns for a home Poor little Pepper. His brother was adopted and now he is all alone. Pepper is a terrier mix that is about 5 months old with a terrific personality. His owner had to surrender him to the shelter because they could no longer afford to care for him and his brother. Yes, contained within this ball of fluff is an adorable 7week-old kitten. This little one and several others are available for adoption at the shelter. The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a downpayment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isn’t already vaccinated for rabies, the person must agree to begin shots within three business days. Rabies shots can be given as soon as the pet turns 4 months old. The animal shelter isn’t equipped with a medical facility, and cannot administer any procedures or treatment. A worker at the shelter will go over all information and gladly answer all questions from those adopting pets. Want to view animals at the shelter? Kennel hours are Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Saturdays, 8-11 a.m. Office hours are MondayFriday, 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and
Saturday, 8-11:30 a.m. To learn more about adopting a pet, call the shelter at 704-216-7768, or visit the shelter at 1465 Julian Road, Salisbury. You can also visit the shelter’s Web site at www.co.rowan.nc. us/animalshelter/. PhOtOs by FRan PePPeR.

“It was just a good idea to keep doing it.”
Hayes, Hawkins & DeMay. Attempts to contact Cabarrus Economic Development Corp. President John Cox Friday were unsuccessful. No one with Stargate Worldwide could be reached over the weekend. However, a source familiar with work at the Philip Morris site said that Stargate representatives have visited Concord several times in the past week. The individual, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that remaining Philip Morris project staff have left their offices in preparation for Stargate staff to begin work there in the coming days. A contractor is reportedly set to begin some of the demolition work at the site in the near future, with other contracts still under negotiation. Some machinery at the site still needs to be removed to Philip Morris’ plant in Virginia. Before any of this can move forward, however, a public hearing must be held regarding $100 million to
help buy the Philip Morris property. The county’s Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Financing Authority plans to help the buyers obtain financing through Recovery Zone Facility Bonds, which are a part of the federal stimulus package. In October, commissioners voted to declare the county as a “recovery zone,” the first step in a company being eligible for such financing. Monday, Jerry Newton of Carolina USA Partners will ask the commissioners to approve a resolution recognizing this “special purpose project” and authorizing the financing. The county will not issue bonds or take any active role in the financing. Private lenders would issue the bonds, and investors would be liable if the project doesn’t go forward. A public hearing will be held prior to the vote. Also at this meeting, commissioners will consider an interlocal agreement with Kannapolis for the city’s certificates of participation financing plan. Beginning in 2013, the county would pledge half of
tax revenues from a downtown development district to help repay up to $36.5 million which would be borrowed by the city. Kannapolis’ debt would go for infrastructure projects downtown related to the N.C. Research Campus, except for $10 million pledged to build a new facility for the Cabarrus Health Alliance. This would take the place of the $168 million in tax increment financing planned before the economic crisis hit. In 2007, Cabarrus County approved a similar interlocal agreement, with the condition that $10 million go to a Health Alliance facility in downtown Kannapolis. In recent weeks, some commissioners have debated whether to have Kannapolis build the health department on the former county fairgrounds instead. City leaders have opposed that idea. CHA’s current facility is in Kannapolis. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Cabarrus Governmental Center, 65 Church St. NE, Concord. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-7974244.
UNC-Greensboro could house middle college GREENSBORO (AP) — A proposal to interest atrisk high-schoolers in medical careers could create the University of North Carolina Greensboro’s first middle college. The Guilford County Board of Education must approve the program that would let students take high school courses and classes for college credit. UNCG kinesiology professor Tom Martinek said the program would target students on the verge of dropping out. He said the nontraditional learning environment could motivate at-risk students. Guilford County’s chief academic officer Beth Folger says the program still needs funding. The district may seek money from the North Carolina New Schools Project to get the program started. The goal would be to open the school by fall 2012 with about 50 ninth-graders.

Evelyn Barnette keeps a running record of the baby caps she has crocheted by writing down the numbers on the back cover of her ‘Home Medical Dictionary.’
FROM 5a cense wasn’t renewed and she sold her car. In her bag, Evelyn has five caps ready to go for the next delivery date. She’s in the middle of a new one. Each cap takes about a hour, she says. “This one’s ready for the cuff,” she says, showing the cap in progress. Evelyn crochets her caps at home, the beauty parlor or while waiting for doctor’s appointments. She works with blue, white and pink yarn. Her main styles are white with a pink cuff, blue with a white cuff, pink with a white cuff and blue with a pink cuff. “I enjoy doing it,’’ she says. “It’s a good hobby.” When crocheting, Barnette usually wears a small brace on her left hand to guard against the carpal tunnel syndrome that plagued her right hand and led to surgery in 2003. Otherwise, her only real health challenge has been high blood pressure. Evelyn started crocheting the baby caps after seeing a newspaper photo of women doing it years ago. She connected with the leader of that effort, Ruth Moose, who only recently passed away. Barnette says she had been making afghans for so long, she wanted a new challenge. In her old Westcliffe home, the walls also were filled with 44 things of needlework and cross-stich. “You should have seen the gallery in our living
room,” Beverly remembers. Barnette is not exactly sure when she started the baby caps. During the move to Trinity Oaks a couple of years ago from a Mahaley Avenue apartment, she misplaced the book where she had recorded the first 810 caps completed. She has documented the last 955 since September 1997. The hospital furnishes her with needles, yarn and the pattern. Evelyn has coped with the emotional challenges of losing Jerry, who worked as a postal clerk for Southern Railway’s route between Charlotte and Washington, and their daughter Angie, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1980 at the age of 32. Evelyn says she depends heavily now on Beverly. “She’s my right-hand helper,” Evelyn says. “I couldn’t do without her.” Crocheting the hospital baby caps does not dominate her time. She says she tries to live by the motto, “Think clearly, act kindly, walk humbly with my God.” In her residence at Trinity Oaks, Evelyn grows African violets, beefsteak begonias and angel wing begonias. They populate the patio outside the sliding glass door to her living room. She likes to give cuttings to her friends, so they can grow some, too. What happens after she crochets her 2,000th baby cap? “I may not stop,” Evelyn says. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@salisburypost.com.

SIDS checklist no longer in use office would no longer use the document because of privacy issues. Some say that is a step backward. “That’s a big loss,” said Tom Vitaglione, chairman of a legislative task force that recommends new state laws to protect children. “You can appreciate the need for good, standardized investigations.” The detailed report is considered essential by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in its study of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which mysteriously kills 2,500 sleeping babies in the U.S. each year. The form reminds investigators to ask key questions about sleeping situations to help determine whether the death was actually from SIDS, which is considered a natural unpreventable death. A series of articles in The Charlotte Observer found that two-thirds of the cases of SIDS in North Carolina had

evidence of suffocation from risky sleep situations. The newspaper also found that police sometimes fail to investigate the deaths thoroughly. Some pathologists say officials should find ways to keep using the reports. “I think they’re good because they result in collecting a standard set of information,” says Dr. Randy Hanzlick, chief medical examiner of Fulton County, Ga. “It reminds the investigators to ask a certain set of questions.”

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The North Carolina medical examiner’s office says it is dropping a standardized checklist for suspicious infant deaths after learning the information in those reports must be made public. The change in policy comes after the attorney general issued an opinion that the information in those reports would be public. For the past six years, the state medical examiner’s office had encouraged the use of the reports as a way to standardize the investigation of infant deaths. Just last month, a state task force said it wanted police to use the checklist as part of all infant death investigations as a way to help prevent deaths in the future. While admitting that the checklist is considered a best practice for investigating unexplained child deaths, the state’s new chief medical examiner, Dr. Deborah Radisch, says families might feel betrayed if the information isn’t kept private. The N.C. attorney general’s office said certain portions of the reports that wouldn’t be public include who medications in the household belong to, medical histories and any involvement with social services, mental health or other agencies. At a meeting in Raleigh last week, lawmakers, child advocates and others were told that the state medical examiner’s

SALISBURY — Luther Paul “Luke” Canup, age 90, died on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010, at The Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks in Salisbury. Luke was the youngest of five children born to Ida Bell Julian and David Lee Canup. Except for his years of military service, he was a lifelong resident of Rowan County. Luke graduated from Granite Quarry High School in 1938. He attended North Carolina State College for three years prior to enlisting in the military to serve in World War II. He completed Army Air Corp basic and advanced flight training in Texas and began active duty as a fighter pilot in 1942. He flew a P-47 Thunderbolt in forty-one missions over Germany before his aircraft was shot down on July 8, 1944. He parachuted to safety moments before his plane exploded. Luke was a prisoner of war encamped for eight months at Stalag Luft III. His POW unit was in Moosburg on April 29, 1945, when the 14th Armored Division of Gen. Patton's 3rd Army overtook the camp, an event leading to the end of World War II. He returned to the USA on May 28, his 25th birthday. Among the medals he received are a Presidential Unit Citation, the Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters, and the EAME Theatre Ribbon with three bronze stars. After an honorable discharge, Luke returned to Salisbury where he worked with the postal service until his retirement in 1980. He was a charter member of the American Legion Post 41 and held nearly every office in the Post including commander. His love and respect for his country were demonstrated daily as he raised and lowered an American flag from his front porch. In 1942, Luke married his high school sweetheart, Hazel Lingle Canup, with whom he celebrated 67 years of marriage prior to her death in Nov. 2009. Together they had three sons. He was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church where he served many years as a choir member, councilman, member of the Men's Brotherhood and chairman of the cemetery committee. During the Memorial Day weekend last May, Luke enjoyed the company of 85 friends and family members as he celebrated his 90th birthday. A reporter captured his love for family and country in pictures and an article which appeared in the May 30 edition of The Salisbury Post. Among those joining him in the celebration were his older siblings, Harley Canup (and wife Mae), Ruth Bernhardt, and Carl Canup, all of Salisbury. Luke is survived by sons, Johnny and wife, Brenda of Kinston, Dale and wife, Jan of Fayetteville and Danny and wife, Elaine of Salisbury; five grandchildren, Laura Canup Hughes and husband, Steve of Charlotte, Lesley Canup Corbin and husband, Brian of Fort Polk, La., Travis Canup and wife, Laura of Pinehurst, Christa Canup and Renee Canup of Salisbury. He is also survived by seven great-grandchildren, Kate, Isaac, Tristan, Robbie, Alex, Mason and Olivia. In addition to his siblings, Luke is survived by his brothersin-law, Howard Bernhardt of Granite Quarry, Hoover Lingle of The Lutheran Home in Salisbury and Claude Hampton of Salisbury; sister-in-law, Kate Lingle of Granite Quarry; and many nephews and nieces with whom he enjoyed annual family reunions and celebrations. He was predeceased by his brother, Arnold Canup in 1996 and his sister, Ruth Canup Bernhardt who died two days ago. Visitation: The family will receive friends on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. at Powles Funeral Home in Rockwell.

Arizona voters OK measure to legalize medical marijuana
WASHINGTON (AP) — Where to live? Whom to hire? What’s a voting card — and where are the bathrooms? More than 100 members of Congress arrive in Washington this coming week for the first time since winning election, trading the loftiness of campaign speeches for mundane lessons in how to do their new jobs. It’s freshman orientation on Capitol Hill, and the larger-than-usual class of 2010 is getting a crash course on how to navigate the next two years. Talk of changing the nation’s direction? That’s on the back burner for now. The newly elected House members — 85 Republicans, a meager nine Democrats — need actual directions around their new workplace. The Senate is having its own orientation at the same time. Instead of American exceptionalism, his election night theme, Rep.-elect Tim Scott, RS.C., is focused on Washington’s exceptional rental prices. “Nothing here is affordable, is what I’ve learned,” says Scott, who might share an apartment with classmates.
Insurgents wearing suicide vests caught at Afghanistan NATO base KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents wearing suicide vests Saturday stormed a major NATO base in eastern Afghanistan, with six of them dying in a hail of gunfire before they could penetrate the defenses. Ten people including three children died in a separate bombing in the north. The attacks — in Jalalabad in the east and Kunduz province in the north — show the insurgents’ fighting spirit has not been broken despite a surge of U.S. troops and firepower. They also demonstrate the guerrillas are capable of striking outside their traditional southern strongholds of Kandahar and Helmand provinces that are the focus of the U.S. surge. NATO also reported that insurgents killed three coalition service members Saturday in southern Afghanistan, but it did not provide further details or nationalities. So far this year, 629 U.S. and international troops have died in Afghanistan, according to a count by The Associated Press. The violence underscored continued instability in the country a week before a NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, to discuss shifting responsibility for security to Afghan forces. President Barack Obama also is due to present a review of his war strategy next month.

Obama turns to Russian president as nuclear pact vote in doubt YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — President Barack Obama, capping a far-flung trip of mixed results, said Saturday the United States is “here to stay” as a force in Asia and pivoted to Russian diplomacy as a nuclear treaty hung in the balance. In his final hours in Japan, Obama was meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as the White House scrambled to round up votes for ratification of a nuclear arms pact that the two leaders signed in April. The administration was offering to add billions of dollars for modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal to woo Republican support. As he was finishing an Asia trip, the White House said Obama had helped lead a fresh global economic strategy and reached billions of Asians with his words. Obama told business leaders that the United States would unapologetically and fiercely compete to get jobs to America, where near double-digit unemployment has sapped public spirits and cost Democrats mightily in this month’s midterm elections. He sought to assure Asia-Pacific nations that their success would not come at each other’s expense.

Emanuel says Chicago would see no tax hike with him as mayor CHICAGO (AP) — Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel officially announced his candidacy for mayor of Chicago Saturday, promising to fight any tax increase for city residents. “We cannot ask taxpayers for more when families are struggling to stay afloat in this economy,” he told supporters packing an elementary school auditorium on the city’s North Side. “We cannot price Chicagoans out of their homes, their schools and their communities.” Emanuel, who’s been campaigning unofficially since he left the White House weeks ago, made some other common political promises as well: to fight crime, create jobs, improve education and make government accessible to residents. He is one of about a half dozen candidates who have either formally announced or are about to.
Zsa Zsa Gabor returns home after hospitalization for leg infection LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband says the actress is back home after being treated at a Los Angeles hospital for a leg infection.

Gabor is being treated with intravenous antibiotics and is also taking oral medication for a separate blood infection. Von Anhalt says if the infections don’t clear up, Gabor GABOR could undergo surgery. The 93-year-old actress was admitted Friday to Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital after a doctor visited her at home when she complained about painful swelling in her legs.

Obama’s Democratic Party as they did in 2008. Two years before voters render judgment on his tenure, Obama’s most critical task may be winning back those who aren’t affiliated with a party but who hold enormous sway in close contests. National exit polls from the midterm elections show these voters broke heavily for Republicans after helping elect Obama and Democrats in the two previous elections. The trouble with this constituency appears even deeper for Obama in places expected to be closely contested in the next White House race, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of exit polls in 26 states. It shows just how much ground Obama must make up with independents between now and November 2012. “Over the last two years, we’ve made progress. But clearly too many Americans haven’t felt that progress yet,” the president said after the election. “As president, I take responsibility for that.”

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Pro-democracy hero Aung San Suu Kyi walked free Saturday after more than seven years under house arrest, welcomed by thousands of cheering supporters outside the decaying lakefront villa that has been her prison. Her guards effectively announced the end of her detention, pulling back the barbed-wire barriers that sealed off her potholed street and suddenly allowing thousands of expectant supporters to surge toward the house. Many chanted her name as they ran. Some wept. A few minutes later, with the soldiers and police having evaporated into the Yangon twilight, she climbed atop a stepladder behind the gate as the crowd began singing the national anthem. “I haven’t seen you for a long time,” the 65year-old Nobel Peace Prize Laureate said to laughter, smiling deeply as she held the metal spikes that top the gate. When a supporter handed up a bouquet, she pulled out a flower and wove it into her hair. Speaking briefly in Burmese, she told the crowd, which quickly swelled to as many as 5,000 people: “If we work in unity, we will achieve our goal.”

“We really believe that we have an opportunity to set an example to the rest of the country on what a good medical marijuana program looks like.” Backers of Proposition 203 argued that thousands of patients faced “a terrible choice” of suffering with a serious or even terminal illness or going to the criminal market for pot. They collected more than 252,000 signatures to put the measure on the ballot — nearly 100,000 more than required. The measure will allow patients with diseases including cancer, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and any other “chronic or debilitating” disease that meets guidelines to buy 21⁄2 ounces of marijuana every two weeks or grow plants. The patients must get a recommendation from their doctor and register with the Arizona Department of Health Services. The law also allows for no more than 124 marijuana dispensaries in the state. All Arizona’s sheriff’s and county prosecutors, the governor, attorney general and many other politicians came out against the proposed law.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona voters have approved a measure that will legalize medical marijuana in the state. Proposition 203 won by a tiny margin of just 4,341 votes out of more than 1.67 million votes counted. The measure started out losing by about 7,200 votes on Nov. 2 and the gap gradually narrowed in the following 10 days. The measure began Friday losing by about 1,500 votes, then surged ahead by 4,421 votes. Maricopa was the only Arizona county with ballots still outstanding on Saturday. The county finished counting all the remaining provisional and early ballots by late in the afternoon. The final, unofficial count was 841,346 in favor of the measure and 837,005 opposed. “Now begins the very hard work of implementing this program in the way it was envisioned, with very high standards,” said Andrew Myers, campaign manager for the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project.

What is cruel and unusual punishment? Supreme Court justices spell out their differences at rare public event in Texas LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — One of the most conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court and one of the most liberal ones sparred Friday over capital punishment, the direct election of senators and various other constitutional questions during a rare public debate that highlighted their philosophical differences. Antonin Scalia, 74, the longest-serving current justice, appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan, and Stephen Breyer, 72, appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton, shared the stage in front of a crowd of thousands during a West Texas event organized by Texas Tech University Law School. They particularly clashed on the question of capital punishment. Scalia argued that while
there’s room for debate about whether the death penalty is a “good idea or a bad idea,” it is not cruel and unusual punishment. “There’s not an ounceworth of room for debate as to whether it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment because, at the time the Eighth Amendment was adopted — the cruel and unusual punishments clause — it was the only punishment for a felony. It was the definition of a felony. It’s why we have Western movies because horse thieving was a felony.” Breyer said 200 years ago, people thought flogging at a whipping post was not cruel and unusual. “And indeed there were whipping posts where people were flogged virtually to death up until the middle of
the 19th century,” he said. “If we had a case like that today I’d like to see how you’d vote.” The two bandied about other issues, including Brown vs. The Board of Education, the landmark high court decision in the 1950s that outlawed school segregation case, cable television rulings, and how they view cases that come before them. Later, Scalia returned to the issue of flogging, saying it’s “stupid” but “not unconstitutional, which is stupid. There’s a lot of stuff that stupid that’s not constitutional.” Scalia said he has no interest in what legislators intended when making a particular law. Breyer countered, saying judges need to go back and find out the purpose legislators had when crafting a bill. “I don’t at all look to what
I think the legislature thought,” Scalia said. “I frankly don’t care what the legislature thought.” Breyer responded quickly, saying, “That’s the problem,” which brought thunderous laughter from the crowd. “You’ve got to go back to the purpose of the legislation, find out what’s there,” Breyer said. “That’s the democratic way, cause you can then hold that legislature responsible, rather than us, who you
can’t control.” At the end, the two were asked what they would change about the Constitution. “Not much,” Breyer said. “It’s a miracle and we see that through” our work. Scalia called the writing of the Constitution “providential,” and the birth of political science. “There’s very little that I would change,” he said. “I would change it back to what they wrote, in some respects.”

supporters of Will Lynch rally outside a san Jose, calif., courtroom, Friday. Lynch, who says rev. Jerold Lindner molested him as a child, is charged with savagely beating Lindner.
Priest abuse victims back man charged in savage beating childhood portrait of Lynch next to a photo of the priest. Lynch accuses the 65-yearold Jesuit priest of sexually abusing him and his younger brother in 1975 during weekend camping trips in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The boys, 7 and 4 at the time, were raped and forced to have oral sex with each other while Lindner watched, Lynch said. Lindner has repeatedly denied abusing anyone and has never been criminally charged. He hung up Wednesday when the AP called him for comment. In a deposition in the late 1990s, Lindner said he didn’t recall Lynch or his brother, though the siblings received $625,000 in a 1998 confidential settlement with the Jesuits for alleged abuse by the priest. Lynch says memories of the priest have tormented him for years, and he struggled through alcohol abuse, depression, nightmares and divorce. He tried to commit suicide twice and told the Los Angeles Times in 2002 that he often thought about confronting Lindner. Authorities say Lynch acted on that fantasy when he attacked the priest on May 10 after the cleric failed to recognize him at the Jesuits’ Sacred Heart retirement home in Los Gatos. Lindner has recovered from the attack. Lynch refused to discuss the beating in the AP interview last week. However, he said he hopes to use his case to bring attention to Lindner’s alleged abuse, as well as to heighten awareness of clergy sex abuse and encourage other victims to come forward.
Man accused of trying to run down woman who said no to his wedding proposal LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man has been accused of trying to run down his ex-girlfriend in a car after she refused his wedding proposal. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that Francisco Hernandez was spotted carrying a bouquet of flowers while walking down the street after the incident. Sheriff’s Lt. Andrew Berg says the 22-year-old was charged with assault with a
deadly weapon. The proposal took place Thursday afternoon at the Burger Stop. After the woman said no, Hernandez allegedly drove onto the sidewalk, through bushes and into the restaurant parking lot, narrowly missing the woman. “Stacy Will You Marry Me” was on the car’s back window. He was later picked up while fleeing on foot.
“He took my faith, he took my innocence, he took my sense of self,” Lynch said of Lindner. “He raped me, he tortured me, he violated me in every single way, and he completely changed who I was supposed to be forever.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Will Lynch is looking for justice in an unusual way. Charged with savagely beating the priest he says molested him as a child, he plans to try to use his trial to publicly shame the Rev. Jerold Lindner in court and call attention to clergy abuse. Law experts say he faces an uphill battle. But priest abuse victims are cheering him on and offering to donate to his defense fund. Several dozen supporters marched and waved signs LYNCH Friday outside the Northern California courthouse where he was arraigned on an assault charge. “Somebody needs to be a face for this abuse and I’m prepared to put myself on the line,” Lynch told the Associated Press in the first interview since his arrest last month. “There’s nothing they can take from me that they haven’t already taken.” Lynch is accused of luring Lindner to the lobby of a retirement home in May and beating him bloody in front of horrified witnesses. The 43-year-old has said he will plead not guilty, but he did not enter a plea during a brief hearing Friday before Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Jerome S. Nadler. Another hearing is set for next month. Outside court, supporters marched in a circle and waved signs that read “Help Free Willy” and showed a

Parts of the Upper Midwest dug out from a heavy snowfall Saturday that caused more than 400 traffic accidents in Minnesota, and wintry conditions also were being blamed for a collision in northern Wisconsin that killed two people. Nearly a foot of snow had fallen in parts of the Twin Cities area by Saturday evening, downing trees and causing sporadic power outages. The storm that began late Friday night was blamed for a collision Saturday morning that killed both drivers and left a passenger hospitalized. The sheriff’s department in Wisconsin’s Bayfield County said the storm produced “rapidly deteriorating road conditions” that likely contributed to the crash. Kevin Kraujalis of the National Weather Service’s Duluth office estimated that Bayfield County had a couple of inches of snow on the ground when the collision occurred. The meteorologist said the county had about 5 inches as of 6 p.m. Saturday. The Minnesota State Patrol responded to 401 crashes as of 4 p.m, with 45 of them involving minor injuries, Patrol Capt. Matt Langer said. There were no other immediate reports of fatalities or major injuries. The storm dumped 11 inches of snow in parts of Eden Prairie, Minn., and 10 inches in the Forest Lake and Mankato areas, said Todd Krause, a federal meteorologist in Minneapolis. The major snowfall activity ended by early afternoon, and Sunday’s forecast looked milder, he said. “People will still see snowflakes across much of Minnesota (on Sunday) but it won’t be adding up to anything,” he said. Jack Serier, a commander with the St. Paul Police Department, said officers dealt with 20 to 30 car accidents by about noon, with many of the collisions involving four or five vehicles. Drivers were being careful, he said, but they were skidding on a glaze of ice that developed under much of the snow pack. “There was nothing reckless,” he said. “But when they hit that ice, no matter what they tried to do they spun out of control.” The snow left the football field unusable at Minnesota State-Mankato, prompting the postponement of the school’s game against Minnesota Duluth. School officials and conference administrators were considering their options for rescheduling the game. The football game between Gustavus Adolphus College and Carleton College was pushed back to today. Meteorologists said Ashland and Bayfield counties could get 4 to 6 inches of snow on Sunday, while parts of western and north-central Wisconsin could see about an inch. The snow in both states wasn’t expected to stick around for long. Recent warm weather meant the ground is still relatively

Catawba ends season with loss BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
HICKORY — Patrick Dennis and Brandon Sutton L-Rhyne 31 led Catawba for Catawba 17 the final time on Saturday. The sun was warm as the Indians marched in confidently behind their captains. They filed down the steps of Lenoir-Rhyne’s Moretz Stadium to compete between the old red bricks that have been silent witness-
es to countless struggles between Catawba and the Bears. Three hours later, that friendly sun had given way to autumn chill and dark shadows, and the Indians had lost to their SAC rival 31-17. Dejected Catawba seniors, tears stinging red eyes, straggled in ones and twos toward waiting buses. SUTTON It had been 17 years — to the day DENNIS — since L-R (7-4, 4-3) had beaten a Catawba football team in Hickory, “We knew L-R wasn’t a typical but the Bears are probably as good four-loss team,” Dennis said. as anyone in the league right now. “They’ve been ahead in every game
they’ve played.” On Halloween, Catawba was still in the driver’s seat to share the SAC title and return to the postseason playoffs, but November was a cruel month. The Indians went 0-2 to finish 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the league. “I would have liked to have gone out with a win, but sometimes life throws obstacles at you,” said Sutton, who overcame a serious midseason knee injury. “The big thing is we got a lot better. Catawba got back on track. Now it’s all about the guys
working for next year.” Even with backup QB Reuben Haynes operating coach Fred Goldsmith’s slick veer offense, the Bears rushed for 370 yards. L-R didn’t win by knockout, but it earned a clearcut decision in front of 6,646 fans. Linebacker Cory Johnson made 13 tackles, and corner Jumal Rolle picked off a pass to lead Catawba’s defense, but it was an uphill fight. “We just didn’t have any good an-

The most glaring question f a c i n g Catawba 101 Catawba’s Urbana 83 men’s basketball team was at least partially answered Saturday night. Where would the scoring come from now that graduates Rob Fields, Antonio Houston and Donald Rutherford and Donzell Williams have taken their combined 5,000 career points elsewhere? “Nobody really knew,” senior guard Dominick Reid said at Goodman Gym, where the Indians kicked off their season REID with a 101-83 win over Urbana University in the annual Highway 52 Shootout. “We figured we’d have to rely more on team execution instead of guys going 1-on-1. Otherwise, we’d have a problem.” Reid was part of the solution — one of six Catawba scorers to crack double figures in what became a scoreby-committee clinic. “This team is very different from last year’s,” coach Jim Baker said after Catawba shot 50.7 percent from the floor. “You don’t really know what kind of team you have until the bright lights come on. But I started seeing during a few of our exhibitions that we can score.”

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Carl Edwards won the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway, setting himself up for a big weekend for Roush-Fenway Racing. Edwards dominated the Nationwide race, leading 153 of the 200 laps while beating runner-up Kevin Harvick by 5.210 seconds. He was that good despite missing the final practice on orders from team owner Jack Roush, who wanted the driver to concentrate on his Sprint Cup Series car. Edwards will start from the pole in Sunday’s main event. He set a track record in qualifying, and was the fastest car in all three Cup practices. “It’s already been special,” Edwards said of his weekend. “We’ve got one more thing to do, and that’s go win that race. We got the pole, the win here,
it’s going well. “I am enjoying myself, that’s for sure.” He was skeptical when Roush told him to skip the final Nationwide practice, but Roush said he made the rare move of stepping in and giving an order. “I thought I should take the heat if it went horribly bad,” Roush said. So far, so good. It was Edwards’ second consecutive Nationwide victory — he also won last weekend at Texas — and his fourth of the season. \Harvick skipped the final Nationwide practice and was looking forward to Sunday. He’s third in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings, and trails leader Denny Hamlin by 59 points with two races remaining. “It was just a solid day,” Harvick said. “Always want to win, but hopefully we can save

She had a tire problem after making contact with Tony Raines, but also bumped and banged with Alex Kennedy for several laps in the middle of the race.
Kyle Busch, meanwhile, finished 16th but kept Joe Gibbs Racing in the lead in the owner championship race. Keselowski already has the driver title locked up, but Busch has JGR up 41 points over Penske Racing in what’s shaping up to be a split title. “We’re going all-out at Homestead. We know it’s not going to be easy,” Keselowski said. “We know the Joe Gibbs Racing cars have been good at the mile-and-a-half tracks all season.”
TAMPA, Fla. — Midway through what Raheem Morris and the surprising Tampa Bay Buccaneers describe as a “race to 10” wins, the NFL’s youngest team isn’t shying away from talk about a goal of reaching the playoffs in a rebuilding year. The youthful but struggling Carolina Panthers look at their NFC South rivals and can’t help but wonder what might have been if their own modest expectations for success had not been undermined in part by inexperience and injuries. Second-year quarterback Josh Freeman has flourished for the Bucs (5-3). Young QB’s Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen haven’t for the Panthers (1-7), who’ve dropped their last two games to St. Louis and New Orleans by a combined score of 54-13. Tampa Bay won a September meeting between the
teams, 20-7 in Charlotte, and is aiming for its first season series sweep of the Panthers since 2002, the year the NFC South was formed. “You look at Tampa, we’re in the same mold,” Panthers linebacker Jon Beason said, looking ahead to Sunday’s rematch. “We’re a young team. The difference is they were able to get some wins early and get some confidence. I think it’s carried on throughout the season.” The biggest reason is Freeman, the third quarterback selected in the 2009 draft behind Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez. The 22-year-old has led fourth-quarter comebacks in six of eight career victories and nearly pulled off another in Atlanta to keep the Bucs atop the division last week. With five wins at the sea-

When Lowe took over here after a monthlong search that missed on top targets John Calipari and Rick Barnes, he talked of building a program that could achieve “even a little more” with deeper tournament runs. But he got off to a tough start when two of three signees decided to play elsewhere in his debut season, and a touted point guard prospect backed out of a commitment for the following year. He had just seven scholarship players that first season and has worked to catch up ever since, including with recruits who already had relationships with other schools when he arrived. Lowe signed one-and-done big man J.J. Hickson, but the class of Harrow, Brown and Leslie is ranked fifth nationally by Scout.com. It’s a class Lowe targeted early and recruited through their prep careers, a sign his staff might have established itself in national recruiting. A few more classes like that — and some more wins — could give Lowe the program he desperately wants. “No one knows better than our staff in terms of where this thing is going,” he said. “No one, because we’ve lived it, we’ve been in it. We know what we have. We know we’re in the right direction now. It’s definitely an opportunity.”

Somebody has to win, right? Associated Press
The NFL this week ... What a matchup: The Detroit Lions, who can’t win on the road, against the Buffalo Bills, who can’t win at all. Detroit has the dubious distinction of owning not one but two 24-game road losing streaks. If they fall Sunday at Buffalo, the Lions will stand (teeter?) first and second in NFL ignominy. Failing at Buffalo is almost the exclusive territory of the Bills, who are 0-8, halfway to the Lions’ NFL mark for misery of 0-16 in 2008. “They remind me of how we were the year we were 016,” said Lions guard Stephen Peterman. “They’re not quitting. You don’t look on film and say, ‘Hey, these guys are bad.’ You look on film and say, ‘Man, they were a couple points here, a couple points there from winning some games.’ ” The two franchises are tied for the league’s longest active playoff drought, dating to 1999. • Also today, it’s New England at Pittsburgh, the New York Jets at Cleveland, Tennessee at Miami, Cincinnati at Indianapolis, Houston at Jacksonville, Philadelphia at Washington, Dallas at the New York Giants, St. Louis at San Francisco, Seattle at Arizona, Kansas City at Denver, Minnesota at Chicago, and Carolina at Tampa Bay.

New England (6-2) at Pittsburgh (6-2) A great matchup in prime time between the most dominant franchises of the last decade. New England owns three Super Bowls, Pittsburgh has two, and each is a solid contender this year. Not that the Patriots looked like one a week ago in being belted at Cleveland. And the Steelers struggled late against Cincinnati before nailing down the victory. New York Jets (6-2) at Cleveland (3-5) The Browns get a chance to grab another pelt from a top team — and a second straight team their coach, Eric Mangini, worked for. After victories over the Saints and Patriots, Cleveland could stamp itself as an oncoming threat by beating New York. Minnesota (3-5) at Chicago (5-3) With Randy Moss gone, Brett Favre coming off a career high in yards passing, and the uproar surrounding Brad Childress’ coaching and personnel moves quieting a bit, maybe the Vikings get to concentrate on a key division match. Tennessee (5-3) at Miami (4-4) Sometimes the good guys come out on top.
Chad Pennington has resurfaced as a starting QB, taking over for the struggling Chad Henne in Miami. Most intriguing in that scenario: What role will Randy Moss play? He makes debut with Titans. Cincinnati (2-6) at Indianapolis (6-2) The best receiving duo at Lucas Oil Stadium might be T.O.chocinco for the Bengals, given all the injuries at the position for the Colts. Still, you get the feeling Peyton Manning will manage better with old reliable Reggie Wayne and the newbies than Carson Palmer will with Terrell Owens and the fuming Chad Ochocinco, who made only one catch in the loss to the Steelers. Houston (4-4) at Jacksonville (4-4) If skidding Houston can’t turn it around here, the second half of the season could be distressing — and lead to a bunch of changes. Philadelphia (5-3) at Washington (4-4), Monday night While the Redskins worry about their quarterbacking situation, the Eagles have no such qualms. Michael Vick leads the league in passing efficiency, looks as quick as ever, and the talent around him is getting healthy.

St. Louis (4-4) at San Francisco (2-6) San Francisco has won four straight against the Rams and can actually breathe some life into any division title hopes with a victory in the weak NFC West. Coming off a bye, the Niners have had more time to work in Troy Smith at quarterback. Seattle (4-4) at Arizona (3-5) Seattle won the first meeting last month and would have the key tiebreaker over the two-time defending division champions with another win. Kansas City (5-3) at Denver (2-6) The Chiefs could have taken a stranglehold on the AFC West, but blew a couple of leads at Oakland.

son’s midpoint, Tampa Bay has already surpassed its victory total for 2009. That’s also halfway to the 10 wins that Morris believes will give his team a good chance to get into the playoffs. The Panthers began the season with the youngest roster in the NFL. The Bucs replaced them last month after releasing guard Keydrick Vincent and tight end Jerramy Stevens. “These guys got to feel that they can go out and be the best and compete with the best every week,” Morris said. “It is no different than when you tell your children when you send them out in the world to be their very best. ... There is no reason why we can’t go out and have a chance to compete for this division this year.” Moore, who entered the season as Carolina’s starting quarterback, was lost for the year to a shoulder injury during last week’s 34-3 loss to the Saints. Clausen, drafted in the
second round out of Notre Dame, will make his fourth pro start Sunday. Fellow rookie Tony Pike, who took his first snaps in a regular season game last week, moves into the No. 2 role. Carolina has sputtered offensively, regardless of who’s been under center — ranking last in the NFL in yards and points. Ideally, the Panthers would like the run the ball. But with the team’s top three running backs — DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Tyrell Sutton — slowed by injuries, second-year pro Mike Goodson will start against the Bucs. “As I’ve mentioned before, he’s got all the tools,” Panthers coach John Fox said of Clausen, who was 8 of 18 passing for 47 yards and an interception after replacing Moore during the second quarter last week. “Tony Pike has the tools. Matt Moore had the tools. The key is experience,” Fox added. “With more and more experience, he’ll get better. ... I don’t have any doubts about that. You just can’t rush it.”

Wisconsin (9-1, 5-1) put up the most points by an FBS school this season and matched the highest scoring total by a team in a Big Ten conference game since Ohio State's 8321 victory over Iowa in 1950. For the Badgers, it was the most points since an 85-0 win in 1915 over in-state rival Marquette. No. 1 Oregon 15, California 13 BERKELEY, Calif. — Jeff Maehl caught a 29-yard touchdown pass and No. 1 Oregon got stellar effort from its defense and a huge break on a missed field goal to stay unbeaten. Cliff Harris returned a punt 64 yards for the only touchdown in the first half by the Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Pac-10), who wobbled on the road to the BCS title game. No. 3 TCU 40, San Diego State 35 FORT WORTH, Texas — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes to Jeremy Kerley as TCU rallied from an early two-touchdown deficit, then held on to beat San Diego State. The Horned Frogs (11-0, 7-0 Mountain West) won their 20th consecutive home game and clinched at least a share of the conference title. No. 5 LSU 51, Louisiana-Monroe 0 BATON ROUGE, La. — It was an anticlimactic victory for the Tigers (9-1), who were eliminated from contention in the SEC’s Western Division with Auburn’s victory over Georgia. LSU still can finish its regular season 11-1 and earn an atlarge bid to a BCS bowl. No. 7 Stanford 17, Arizona State 13 TEMPE, Ariz. — Andrew Luck threw for 292 yards and engineered a long fourth-quarter scoring drive to set up Owen Marecic’s second 1-yard touchdown dive. Stanford (9-1, 6-1 Pac-10) labored against Arizona State’s gang-tackling most of the night. No. 8 Ohio State 38, Penn State 14 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Devon Torrence tipped and snagged an interception and returned it 34 yards for the go-ahead touchdown to turn the tide for the Buckeyes (9-1, 5-1) . The two defensive scores were nothing new in the series. Penn State (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten) has had six interceptions returned for TDs in the last seven meetings. No. 9 Nebraska 20, Kansas 3 LINCOLN, Neb. — Rex Burkhead and Roy Helu Jr. ran for touchdowns and Nebraska’s defense held Kansas to 87 total yards. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez was limited by design after missing all but one play of last week's game at Iowa State with a right ankle sprain. He clearly wasn't at his best, but he showed glimpses of his dynamic running ability, gaining 71 yards on 11 carries. Martinez was 14 of 26 passing for 167 yards, with one interception. No. 11 Alabama 30, No. 17 Mississippi State 10 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Greg McElroy passed for 227 yards, including a 78-yard touchdown to Mark Ingram, and Alabama rolled over Mississippi State. The Crimson Tide (8-2, 5-2 SEC) showed it can still dominate even the improved version of the Bulldogs (7-3, 3-3) after its title hopes evaporated. No. 12 Oklahoma State 33, Texas 16 AUSTIN, Texas — Brandon Weeden passed for 409 yards and Kendall Hunter ran for two touchdowns as Oklahoma State ended a 12-year losing streak to Texas. Northwestern 21, No. 13 Iowa 17 EVANSTON, Ill. — Dan Persa ruptured his Achilles’ tendon after throwing the winning pass, and Northwestern handed No. 13 Iowa another devastating loss. Iowa (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) is now a long shot to win the Big Ten title after losing to Northwestern (7-3, 3-3) for the fifth time in six games. Ricky Stanzi threw for 270 yards but had a critical interception in the second half that started the Wildcats' rally. No. 14 Arkansas 58, UTEP 21 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Ryan Mallett threw for a schoolrecord five touchdowns and ran for another as Arkansas defeated Texas-El Paso 58-21. Knile Davis added a career-best 182 yards rushing on just 11 carries for the No. 14 Razorbacks (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference), including a 70-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Arkansas ran for a season-best 321 yards in the win. USC 24, No. 18 Arizona 21 TUCSON, Ariz. — Matt Barkley passed for one touchdown and sneaked for another as the Trojans (7-3, 4-3 Pac-10) jumped ahead 14-0 and never relinquished the lead. Arizona (7-3, 4-3) lost its second in a row. The Wildcats were blown out at Stanford 42-17 last weekend., No. 19 Oklahoma 45, Texas Tech 7 NORMAN, Okla. — Ryan Broyles caught three of Landry Jones’ five touchdown passes and broke a few more Oklahoma records. Broyles caught eight passes for 119 yards and broke Mark Clayton's career records for receptions and touchdown catches at Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 Big 12). He also eclipsed his own mark for catches in a season and now holds almost every significant receiving record at the school. No. 20 Missouri 38, Kansas State 28 COLUMBIA, Mo.— The Tigers (8-2, 4-2 Big 12) capitalized on three fumble recoveries, two of them huge swing plays, and scored 17 straight points to put away the Wildcats (6-3, 3-4). No. 23 Texas A&M 42, Baylor 30 WACO, Texas — Cyrus Gray ran for 137 yards and scored three of his career-high four touchdowns in the second half as Texas A&M rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit . Southern Miss 31, No. 25 UCF 21 ORLANDO, Fla. — Austin Davis threw for 264 yards and four touchdowns, helping Southern Mississippi ruin Central Florida’s first game as a ranked team. The victory keeps the Eagles in the race for Conference USA’s East Division title.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Ol’ Ball Coach notched a huge S. Carolina 36 win at his ol’ stomping 14 grounds. Florida After years of being the top Gator, Steve Spurrier led South Carolina to its first division crown in the stadium he nicknamed The Swamp. Marcus Lattimore ran 40 times for a career-high 212 yards and three touchdowns, Stephen Garcia played turnoverfree and the 22nd-ranked Gamecocks upset No. 24 Florida 36-14 Saturday night to clinch the Southeastern Conference’s Eastern Division. The Gamecocks won for the second time in 19 tries against Florida, snapped an 0-for-12 streak in Gainesville and earned a spot in the league title game for the first time. South Carolina (7-3, 5-3 SEC) will play second-ranked Auburn on Dec. 4, with the winner advancing to the Bowl Championship Series. The Gators (6-4, 4-4) lost to a division opponent for the first time in 17 games, dropped their third consecutive home game and proved they didn’t deserve to play for a championship. It’s the program’s first three-game losing streak at home since 1989.
South Carolina started celebrating after Garcia’s 8-yard TD run early in the fourth that put the Gamecocks ahead 297. Players and fans got even more raucous after Lattimore’s 11-yard scoring run with 2:43 remaining. Players doused Spurrier with — what else? — Gatorade with 1:01 remaining. Spurrier spent the final few seconds with cameras in his face, then got carried to midfield on players’ shoulders. Spurrier’s Florida teams went 63-5 in Gainesville. He had plenty of important wins along the way — Kentucky in 1991, Florida State in 1991 and 1995, South Carolina in 2000 — but only that one against the Wildcats clinched a title. So this one certainly will stand out. It’s one Florida won’t forget, either. Andre Debose returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, but it was one of the few highlights the Gators could muster in a game that will go down as one of the worst in school history — even more painful than anything in the Ron Zook era. Spurrier may have even been embarrassed for his alma mater, the school he developed into a college football powerhouse during his 12 season as coach. The first quarter was all anyone need-

CATAWBA FroM 1B swers,” Catawba coach Chip Hester said. “We didn’t make enough plays on offense, defense or special teams. They were just better today than we were.” Catawba lost wideout Eric Morman (ankle) early, but Dennis threw for 295 yards, mostly short stuff to Brandon Bunn and Gerron Bryant, who teamed for 19 catches. “Those short gains were there, and what’s what we were shooting for,” Bryant said. “We played OK. We just didn’t execute often enough.” The Bears were tricky. While they appeared to drop seven into soft coverage on almost every snap, linebacker Demetrius Green or safety Carl Brooks would suddenly streak through on blitzes to hurry or sack Dennis. “L-R had a great defensive scheme,” Dennis said. “They kept us off-balance. Then when we fell behind, it took our running game out of play.” Dennis finished his career with 5,114 passing yards (fifth all-time at Catawba) and 45 TDs. Catawba’s defense, fueled by senior lineman Alex Hartsell, stoned L-R’s first two possessions, but the Indians couldn’t score, either. Late in the first quarter, the Bears methodically drove 63 yards for a 7-0 lead. Quar-
ed to watch to see how the game would unfold: The Gators ran 18 plays for 51 yards, failed to convert a third down, punted five times and had five penalties. The Gamecocks had to settle for three field goals from Spencer Lanning, who hit from 49, 47 and 41 yards. He also banged an extra point off the left upright following Lattimore’s 7-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. There was little else South Carolina did wrong. Garcia had his first turnover-free game since late September. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 156 yards. He added 28 yards on the ground.

AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton did 49 his talking Auburn 31 on the field. Georgia Responding to all those allegations of wrongdoing with another brilliant performance, Newton passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more to lead No. 2 Auburn into the Southeastern Conference championship game — and another step closer to playing for the national title. The Tigers pulled away from Georgia in the fourth quarter for a 49-31 victory that, at least for one day, took some of the heat off college football’s most dynamic player. “I’m just very proud of the way he played,” coach Gene Chizik said. “He’s a really, really talented, extremely gifted player who means a lot of our football team.” Newton celebrated with his teammates after the game, yukking it up in front of the student section, but that would be the only insight into how he was feeling after persistent reports that his father solicited money — big money — during the recruiting process. Auburn officials refused to make Newton available to the media. Chizik went along with that

Auburn's cam Newton (2) reacts with fans after the win over Georgia theme, saying right at the start of his news conference he would only answer questions about what happened on the field. When a reporter asked him about his feelings toward Cecil Newton, the quarterback’s father, this was the reply: “I’m only taking questions about this football game, thank you.” The Tigers (11-0, 7-0 SEC) will face either Florida or South Carolina for the conference title on Dec. 4 in Atlanta, though let’s not forget that game looming in two weeks — the Iron Bowl showdown against defending national champion Alabama in Tuscaloosa. “We have another huge football game coming up,” Chizik said. “We’ve got to get ready for that game.” “SEC! SEC! SEC!” the sellout crowd of 87,451 chanted in the closing minutes, looking forward to the Tigers’ return to the title game for the first time since the perfect 2004 season.

terback Major Herron got the TD from the 1, but the price was high — an injured shoulder. Haynes replaced him. Catawba’s offense tried to answer that TD with a drive that reached the L-R 19, but a third-down pass to Grayson Downs was broken up. Then Thomas Trexler missed on a 36-yard field goal. Catawba’s deficit swelled to 13-0 when Haynes flipped a 15-yard TD pass to Nick Stutts with 3:33 left in the half. It was the Bears’ only comple-
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Utah’s fall N. Dame 28 has been Utah 3 swift. From rapid-scoring offensive juggernaut, the Utes are suddenly a team that can do little right — two Saturdays in a row. This time, in their first trip to South Bend, the Utes ran into an inspired Notre Dame and couldn’t even locate the end zone. One week after a 47-7 thrashing from TCU, the 15th-ranked Utes played flat football and the timing could have not been worse. The Irish controlled the lines, got two huge plays from their special teams and designed a solid, power-oriented game plan that allowed freshman quarterback Tommy Rees to be comfortable and effective. He threw three TD passes in his first start, two to Duval Kamara. The result: a 28-3 Irish victory, their first over a ranked team since beating Penn State in 2006, ending an 11-game skid in those games. No wonder Notre Dame students poured onto the field to celebrate with the players when time ran out. “We were riding high. Had eight in a row,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “Right now we’re not feeling real good about ourselves. I can tell you that. But nobody feels sorry for us. ... But right now we’re reeling a little bit.”
tion of the day. It stayed 13-0 when Sutton blocked the PAT. The ensuing kickoff was short, and Catawba’s Nate Charest took it to the Bears’ 46 to provide field position. With 50 seconds left in the half, Dennis fired a strike in the end zone to Downs, who’s spent his senior year battling shoulder injuries. Dennis was buried by a heavy rush and never saw Downs make the catch, but he heard the roar. It may have been his most satisfying TD pass of the season. “Grayson’s been through so much this year,” he said. “It was just great to have him back in the mix for this one.” When Trexler kicked off, Charest made another play, flying into a pile to recover a fumble. There were only 42 seconds left, but Catawba finally had momentum and enough time to score again. But the Indians were stopped, and Trexler’s 45yard field goal try was short. “It would’ve been big to score again,” Hester said. “Especially with us getting the ball to start the second half.” Catawba’s first drive of the second half stalled at midfield, but the Indians’ defense produced a quick three-and-out. L-R, however, recaptured momentum for good when it punted. Catawba senior Aaron Cauble saw a chance for a block and went for it. He barely missed the ball and made contact with the punter. That gave the Bears a first down, and they drove for a
Notre Dame’s defense bottled up Utah — which came in averaging 41 points per game — and stopped the Utes from scoring in the second half after they reached the 6 and 12 on separate drives. “The biggest factor in the game was our ineptness on offense,” Whittingham said Utah managed a seasonlow 265 yards total offense and only 71 yards rushing. It was their lowest scoring game since being shut out by UNLV on Sept. 22, 2007. The Utes have lost now two straight for the first time since dropping the first two of the 2007 season. “I really don’t know what the issues are. Something has to be done. We have to change something and start heading in the right direction,” said Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn, who was 24 for 39 for 194 yards. Returning from a week off, Notre Dame (5-5) was the much fresher team and moved within one win of becoming eligible for a bowl. “You saw it today, a football team that didn’t have on their shoulders the traditions and reputations and all the things that you have to worry about sometimes being a football player at Notre Dame,” Irish coach Brian Kelly said. “They just flatout played.” An untouched Robert Blanton blocked Sean Sellwood’s punt, picked up the ball and ran in for a TD from 6 yards out late in the opening period to put Notre Dame ahead 7-3.

touchdown, tacked on a twopoint conversion and led 21-7. Dennis’ 5-yard TD pass to Bunn — the 30th of Bunn’s great career — briefly made it 21-14 with 3:10 left in the third, but barely a minute later, Haynes broke a 42-yard keeper to make it 28-14. Trailing 31-14 with 6:31 left and facing fourth-and-5 at the L-R 8, Hester called on Trexler. His 12th field goal of the season, out of Charest’s hold, made it a two-score game. The Indians still had a bit of life after linebacker Trey Ingram stopped a fourth-and1 sneak by Haynes to hand the ball back to Catawba’s offense with 4:13 remaining. It wasn’t over until Dennis, pressured hard by Green, threw high on fourth down to senior Brian Terwilliger, who couldn’t make a leaping catch on the Catawba sideline and near midfield. After that play, it was time to think about the future. “A 6-4 season wasn’t what any of us wanted, but it was much better than last year,” Dennis said. “We made a lot of comebacks together. No one on this team ever gave up.”

App. State clinches a playoff bid Associated Press
The college roundup ... BOONE — Devon Moore rushed for 115 yards and a season-high three touchdowns as Appalachian State defeated Wofford 43-13 on Saturday to claim a share of the Southern Conference title and clinch the league’s automatic NCAA Division I playoff bid. The Mountaineers’ sixth straight SoCon championship ties the conference record set by Georgia Southern from 1997-2002. Quarterback DeAndre Presley was 17 of 26 for 192 yards and two scores. Appalachian State (9-1, 7-1) received the opening kickoff and drove 71 yards to set up an 11-yard Moore scoring run. Appalachian State led 24-0 at halftime and was ahead 38-0 before the Terriers (8-2, 6-1) scored for the first time. Moore put together his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season and eighth of his career.His three touchdowns give him 38 for his career, moving him into a tie with Damon Scott (1993-96) for fourth in ASU history. Wofford's 275 yards of total offense were 125 yards below its season average coming in (400.3 ypg). Prior to Saturday's rout, Wofford's largest deficit in SoCon play this year was four points. Jason Vitaris kicked a 50-yard field goal, the longest by a Mountaineer since 2000, early in the fourth. After a Wofford touchdown, the kick was blocked and Troy Sanders scored on the PAT return. The SoCon championship is ASU's 11th in 39 seasons since joining the league in 1972. Only Furman (12) has won more SoCon titles since the league began crowning a champion in 1933 ASU junior wide receiver Brian Quick caught 5 passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns, upping his career totals in three career games against Wofford to 20 receptions for 426 yards and 7 touchdowns. Quick also moved into third on ASU's alltime receiving yardage list with 2,163 career yards, surpassing Bob Agle (2,151 yds). Elon 30, Furman 25 ELON — A.J. Harris ran for a 7-yard touchdown with 5:21 left and Blake Thompson had an interception to seal it in Elon's 30-25 win over Furman. Elon’s Harris finished with 103 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and Scott Riddle added 311 yards on 31-for-46 passing. Georgia Southern 28, Western Carolina 6 CULLOWHEE — Freshman Robert Brown had 17 carries for a career-high 153 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown run, as Georgia Southern defeated Western Carolina 28-6. Western Carolina quarterback Zac Brindise was 18 for 33 for 191 yards for the Catamounts (2-8, 1-6). Coastal Carolina 45, Liberty 31 CONWAY, S.C. — Zach MacDowall threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Coastal Carolina to a 45-31 win over Liberty in a key Big South game. The Chanticleers (5-5, 4-1), who have won three in a row, handed the Flames their first conference loss. Stony Brook (5-0) moved into sole possession of first place in the league standings going into next week's game at Liberty, while Coastal Carolina will play Charleston Southern, which won its first league game Saturday. Army 45, Kent State 28 KENT, Ohio — Trent Steelman guided Army's run-oriented offense to perfection and helped the Black Knights become bowl eligible for the first time in 14 years. The Black Knights (6-4) continued their best season since going 10-2 in 1996 — they were 35-115 over the next 13 years. Former West Rowan star Jon Crucitti ran for two yards on two carries. San Diego 29, Davidson 15 DAVIDSON — Davidson (3-7, 3-5) built a 15-14 lead after three quarters on the strength of two touchdown passes by Carkhuff, who was 16-of-27 for 258 yards.
NATIONAL WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Finally, Michigan's defense showed up. Critics blasted the Wolverines after they surrendered 65 points against Illinois. A motivated defensive unit supported quarterback Denard Robinson by forcing five turnovers and holding Purdue to 256 yards in a 27-16 win. Michigan's defense helped the Wolverines (7-3, 3-3 Big Ten) overcome an off day by Robinson. He passed for 176 yards, but the nation's leader in yards rushing was held to 68 yards on 22 carries. He also fumbled twice and threw two interceptions in rainy, windy conditions. Tennessee 52, Mississippi 14 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee's first play from scrimmage might have seemed a little lucky. Coach Derek Dooley knew it was more than that. Tyler Bray attempted a pass to Gerald Jones which was tipped by Mississippi's Jonathan Cornell right into the hands of Justin Hunter. Hunter, a former USA Track and Field competitor, had 80 yards of green space and took it all the way to the end zone. It was the first of Bray's three touchdown passes, two of which were to Hunter, as the Volunteers got their first SEC win of the season, a 52-14 victory over the Rebels. Williams 31, Amherst 16 AMHERST, Mass. — Pat Moffitt passed for 326 yards and three touchdowns to lead Williams (8-0) to a 31-16 win in its 125th meeting with rival Amherst in what is annually billed as the Biggest Little Game in America.

Tar Heels soundly beaten Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — Virginia Tech forced Va. Tech 26 North CarUNC 10 olina into mistakes and punished the Tar Heels for their missed scoring chances. Now the 16th-ranked Hokies are a win away from returning to the ACC championship game. Tyrod Taylor hit Marcus Davis with a pair of thirdquarter touchdown passes to help the Hokies beat the Tar Heels 26-10 on Saturday for their eighth straight win. Taylor threw for 249 yards while the defense locked down the Tar Heels after halftime, helping the Hokies (8-2, 6-0 ACC) improve to 4-0 in Chapel Hill since joining the league in
2004. Chris Hazley added four field goals, including a 52yarder in the first half, that helped the Hokies while their offense failed to finish drives. Virginia Tech entered Saturday with a chance to wrap up the ACC’s Coastal Division title for the fourth time in six seasons, but Miami’s easy win at Georgia Tech earlier in the day delayed the Hokies’ coronation. Virginia Tech travels to Miami next weekend and needs to win either of its final two games to reach the league title game in Charlotte on Dec. 4. The Hokies, who opened the season with losses to Boise State and James Madison, have won five of their six league games by at least 11 points. “I think we’re playing at a high level right now, and as
long as we continue to play it, I think people will eventually respect us,” Taylor said. “Some people don’t and some people won’t, but all we’ve got to do is go out there and win games every week.” Virginia Tech trailed 10-9 at halftime after Hazley kicked three field goals, two when drives stalled after reaching the UNC 15 and 8. But Taylor found Davis for a 43-yard gain on the opening drive of the second half, then connected with him again for the go-ahead 11-yard score with 10:38 left in the period. Taylor threw another touchdown to Davis later in the period, with Davis slipping behind defenders Deunta Williams and Kendric Burney for a 13-yard score that made it 26-10.
The touchdown capped a dominant third quarter for the Hokies, who outgained the Tar Heels 141-19. “We just came out and played harder,” Davis said. “We just told ourselves we weren’t going to let it slip away.” The Tar Heels (6-4, 3-3) also entered the day with slim chances of winning the division. Now they’ll have to focus on cleaning up all the mistakes — and there were plenty — before trying to end a threegame skid against rival North Carolina State next weekend. UNC committed a seasonhigh six turnovers, with T.J. Yates throwing four interceptions a week after setting a school record with 439 yards passing in the program’s first win at Florida State. “Things just kind of start-

DURHAM — Montel Harris has carried the load for 21 Boston College BC 16 most of the season. Duke His teammates returned the favor when he needed it most. Chase Rettig threw two third-quarter touchdown passes and Boston College made a late defensive stand to defeat Duke 21-16 on Saturday. The Eagles (5-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) survived two fumbles in the red zone by Harris, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Defensive end Max Holloway secured Boston College’s third consecutive victory when he batted down Sean Renfree’s fourth-down pass from the 4-yard line with 46 seconds remaining. “I was like, ‘Come on, D. Keep them out of the end zone,’” Harris said. “I knew everything was going to be on me and my shoulders with the two fumbles. It’s a bad feeling.” Harris, the ACC’s leading rusher, posted his fifth consecutive 100yard rushing game. He ran for 109 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. The Eagles need one win in their final two games — home against Virginia and at Syracuse — to become bowl-eligible for the 12th consecutive season. A team that lost five games in a row after starting the season 2-0 has some momentum again. “We’re very happy to be where we are right now from where we were three weeks ago,” Boston College coach Frank Spaziani said. Will Snyderwine kicked three field goals for the Blue Devils (3-7, 1-5), who were eliminated from bowl contention with the loss. Renfree completed 35 of 49 passes for 285 yards for Duke, and Conner Vernon had 12 catches for 134 yards. “Field goals are good, but at the end of the day you have to get touchdowns,” Vernon said. “We have to execute better.” The Blue Devils had their chances down the stretch. Duke worked its way down the field on its final possession to set up first and goal at the Boston College 9. Wide receiver Donovan Varner was stopped for a loss of a yard on a sweep, and Renfree’s pass on second down was incomplete. Backup quarterback Brandon Connette, who played in short-yardage situations throughout the game, entered the game on third down and threw an incomplete pass on a rollout toward the right sideline. Renfree came back in the game on fourth down after timeouts by both teams, and Holloway leaped high into the air to knock down his pass at the line of scrimmage. Holloway said he had a feeling a quick pass was coming. “All game the coaches were telling us to ‘get your hands up, get your hands up’ because he was throwing it right over our heads,” Holloway said. “All game I was getting cut (blocked), and the ball would go right over me. I was getting so frustrated, and finally I played it perfectly.” Holloway, who also had two sacks, and his teammates held Duke to 4 rushing yards on 24 attempts.

North carolina state's russell Wilson (16) passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more.
Wilson, Pack roll Associated Press
RALEIGH — If this was goodbye for Russell N.C. State 38 Wilson at home, W. Forest 3 it was an impressive way to go. Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more in what might have been his final home game to lead North Carolina State past Wake Forest 38-3 on Saturday. Wilson was 24 of 35 for 300 yards with touchdowns covering 4 yards to Jarvis Williams and 38 yards to Owen Spencer, and scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards for the Wolfpack (7-3, 4-2 ACC). The junior quarterback, who was honored before the game along with 19 seniors, hasn’t decided whether he’ll return for one more season or continue his pro baseball career. No need to rush that decision yet, though — the priority now is keeping the Wolfpack’s surprising season rolling. “Every day, I try to push myself to be the best that I can be, no matter if I’m running the ball, throwing the ball, whatever. I try to do the same thing for the rest of the guys ... because we’ve got a lot of talent on this team,” Wilson said. “We can be special, but we have to work at it every single day. “That’s what it was about for us.” N.C. State scored on four of six
second-half possessions to pull away. On the other side of the ball, linebacker Nate Irving — who didn’t play in 2009 as he recovered from injuries suffered in a grisly car accident — had eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 13 total stops. The Wolfpack outgained the Demon Deacons 387-188 to keep control of the Atlantic Division with road trips to North Carolina and Maryland looming. “Going forward, it’s another win, and it gives you a chance to move on, again, controlling your destiny, where you have to go and what you have to do,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “Now we have to go on the road again. It’s not an easy road, but we’re still alive and have a chance to get to Charlotte (for the ACC title game). The road has to go through Chapel Hill now.” Wake Forest (2-8, 1-6) lost its eighth straight game, its longest slide since dropping its last 10 in 1978. The Demon Deacons had lost all four previous road games by an average of 381/2 points, with none closer than 31. “This losing stuff is getting old,” linebacker Kyle Wilber said. Determined to keep this one competitive for as long as possible, Wake Forest shortened this one by relying on its running backs, outrushing the Wolfpack 110-59. But the Demon Deacons’ brutal season might be best summa-
rized by a telling sequence of plays. After breaking up a thirddown pass in the end zone, safety Alex Frye leaped to celebrate with teammate Cyhl Quarles — and promptly crumpled to the field with an apparent knee injury, though he later appeared to be OK on the sideline. Lovell Jackson then muffed the Wolfpack punt and Earl Wolff recovered at the Wake Forest 17. Two plays later, Wilson scampered in from 2 yards out to make it 24-3. “We’re playing hard, but you can’t have experienced players making mistakes,” coach Jim Grobe said. “We’re playing a lot of freshmen, but our upperclassmen are making too many mistakes.” Wilson also sneaked in to cap N.C. State’s next possession. His curtain call came with 9:55 left, following a 19-yard pass to Spencer. He jogged off the field to an ovation from the Carter-Finley Stadium crowd. “It could be my last time — I’m not sure yet — so coach wanted me to get out there (during pregame introductions), just in case,” Wilson said. “Obviously, I love N.C. State, I love this football team, and the teams of the past too, and of the future. It’s been a great experience for me, but we’ve still got more work to do, and, hopefully, more games to win.”
The ACC roundup ... TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A week after missing a game-winning kick in the final seconds, Dustin Hopkins booted a career-best 55-yard field goal Saturday night as time expired to give Florida State a 16-13 victory over Clemson. Hopkins missed two fourth-quarter field goal tries last week, allowing North Carolina to escape with a 37-35 win. His winning kick Saturday night was the third longest field goal in Florida State history and his third field goal. He’d earlier made field goals of 28 and 39 yards. Chandler Catanzaro’s second field goal for Clemson — a 29 yard kick with 53 seconds left, tied the game. EJ Manuel, who started in place of an injured Christian Ponder at quarterback, scored Florida State’s only touchdown on an 8-yard run with 10:08 left to give the Seminoles a 13-10 lead. Xavier Rhodes picked off a Kyle Parker pass in the Seminoles’ end zone to set up the 85-yard, 12-play drive led by Manuel. Manuel completed 15 of 24 passes for 210 yards and ran for another 71 yards on 15 carries. Florida State (7-3, 5-2 ACC) snapped a two-game losing streak and remained alive in its pursuit of a berth in next month’s ACC title game along with Maryland and North Carolina State. Each of the schools have two losses in the jumbled Atlantic Division and the Seminoles travel to Maryland next Saturday. The loss knocked Clemson (5-5, 34) out of contention. Jamie Harper ran for a career high 126 yards and Clemson’s lone touchdown and caught nine passes, a school record for a running back. Maryland 42, Virginia 23 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Long after the final gun sounded, and the scoreboard no longer showed Maryland's 42-23 victory, the Terrapins were still hooting and hollering. Losing three games in a row and 14 of 18 against an opponent will do that. D.J. Adams ran for three touchdowns and freshman quarterback Danny O'Brien ran for one and threw for two, leading Maryland to a critical victory against Virginia on Saturday. "Losing three years in a row is not good, and I wanted this one real bad," Terrapins coach Ralph Friedgen said. "I think the kids knew it. I've been on them all week." Miami 35, Georgia Tech 10 ATLANTA — Freshman Stephen Morris didn't have to carry Miami in his first road start, not with four backs running for touchdowns and Leonard Hankerson making big catches. Morris only had to avoid mistakes to help Miami set a season high in total offense for the second straight week. Morris passed for 230 yards and a touchdown to win the matchup of backup quarterbacks and Miami beat Georgia Tech 35-10 on Saturday to stay alive in the ACC's Coastal Division. Morris, making his second start as Jacory Harris recovers from a concussion, completed 10 of 18 passes and did not have a turnover.

Time to winterize your home — before it’s too late A local home inspector is offering tips to ease the seasonal transition from fall to winter. Jonathan McCullough, owner of the local HouseMaster franchise, is reminding homeowners to properly safeguard theirhomes against the cold. “Regardless of where you live, the cooling fall air inevitably gives way to colder conditions and, as temperatures begin to dip, homes requiremaintenance,” McCullough said. “With proper maintenance and upkeep, homeowners can greatly cut down on energy expenditures, and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs, while creating a more comfortable living environment when the winter elements are outside their front door.” Here are several tips to protect your home — both inside and out — and ease the seasonal transition from fall to winter:
Exterior Surfaces • Check weather tightness of all exterior surfaces and components • Caulk and seal all joints in siding, and around windows and doors • Check and seal any foundation cracks • Improve/replace weatherstripping at exterior doors and windows as needed

Local projects likely to be more robust than nationally; industry group predicts decline BY SCOTT JENKINS sjenkins@salisburypost.com
A national building industry group predicts spending on nonresidential construction will decline slightly in 2011 as the U.S. economy continues to lumber out of the recession. The head of the local economic development commission has a more upbeat assessment for Rowan and the rest of the region. But while Robert Van Geons said the local construction industry could see growth next year, he cautions that it won’t be significant. “I believe we’re going to fare much better in the Southeast than nationally,” Van Geons, executive director of RowanWorks, said last week. “But that said, even the best projections for North Carolina are flat to slight improvement year on year.” Anirban Basu, chief economist with the trade group Associated Builders and Contractors, projects total spending on nonresidential construction will dip 0.1 percent in 2011.

tion will decline 0.2 percent. Only public financing — mostly from the federal government’s economic stimulus program — will escape decline, and that spending will be essentially flat, the group says. “The bottom line is the nonresidential construction recession is largely over, but 2011 will be associated with grudgingly slow progress,” Basu said in a press release. Over the past year, the group says, 11 nonresidential construction sectors have experienced falling investment. Five have seen spending increase over that same period, and all are tied to government programs such as transportation projects. “To the extent that there has been a recovery in nonresidential construction, it has been concentrated in segments closely tied to federal funding and the stimulus package passed in February 2009 in the midst of the recession, Basu said. While that may be the national picture, Van Geons said, it’s not the case locally. He said the Southeast has gotten fewer stimulus dollars for construction projects
than other regions. The driving force here has been companies expanding their plants or moving into vacant ones. He pointed to three recent examples: • In 2009, Henkel officials chose the company’s Rowan plant for a $23.7 million expansion to consolidate a half dozen facilities. • Boral Composites Inc. announced in August the company would expand on the site of sister company Boral Bricks in East Spencer, representing a $12.8 million investment. • Infiltrator Systems, which will spend up to $5 million renovating and equipping the former Service Supply building at Summit Corporate Center. And Van Geons said that will probably be the case for awhile. Renovating costs less than constructing, and counties such as Rowan have plenty of vacant spaces to offer. And local governments are targeting those sites for economic development. The Salisbury City Council recently ap-

How can we protect inheritance above $1 million after Dec. 31? BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Feature Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: I am a professional woman and the only child of very elderly parents. We are very close and trusting of each other. They have been frugal all their life and have several million in CDs, savings, property, etc. There is a will that I have not seen. I understand that after Dec. 31, the family is going to lose at least 55 percent of anything above the $1 million limit after their death. How can we help them plan to protect their hard-earned savings that they have put away for their grandchildren and me? — Denise
Smart money
contact a well-recognized (and probably fairly expensive) estate planner to go over all of your parents’ assets. Sit down with him or her and find out precisely what they would like to happen — and then quickly make whatever changes are necessary to reduce the tax liability. Hopefully, Congress will have good sense to extend some of the tax relief or at least raise the amount that can be left without immediate taxes to about $4 million. No one can predict what this very unpredictable body will do. Good judgment on their part is often a very rare commodity.
DEAR DENISE: You say after Dec. 31, the family is going to lose at least 55 percent of anything more than $1 million. This is a possibility if Congress does nothing to extend the tax relief on state taxes. There are a number of things that can be done to lower this tax liability. However, in order to determine which would be appropriate, one would have to know a great deal about the monies being held, in what proportion to real property, etc., and the wishes DEAR BRUCE: Due to her husband’s Oklahoma of your parents.

China playing big part in GM stock offering DETROIT (AP) — Among the banks helping General Motors with its initial public stock offering this coming week are two identified by initials only: ICBC and CICC. Americans uncomfortable with U.S. government ownership of General Motors may want to hear more: One of those banks is the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, one of China’s four big central government banks. The other, China International Capital Corp., is a joint venture run primarily by Central Huijin Investment Ltd., an arm of the state, and Morgan Stanley. This is the first time Chinese government banks have participated in a major U.S.issued IPO, according to IPO tracking firm Dealogic. The banks are listed as co-managers in the offering, meaning they will sell a portion of the new shares. Chinese automaker SAIC, GM’s partner in China, is finalizing plans to buy a roughly 1 percent stake, worth about $500 million, in GM’s IPO, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. SAIC is owned by the Shanghai city government. Other foreign investors that are interested include several sovereign wealth funds located in the Middle East and Asia. The Journal says those funds, which manage the finances of royal families and some nations, could invest $1 billion in GM’s IPO. There could be political backlash for President Barack Obama, who has spent the past week in Asia addressing economic issues, like currency exchange differences between the U.S. and China. Obama has argued that China artificially deflates its currency, the yuan, in an attempt to make its exports cheaper. Many Americans were unhappy when the U.S. bailed out GM, calling the company “Government Motors.” GM ‘s Nov. 18 stock offering will reduce the U.S. Treasury’s stake in the company from 61 percent to 43 percent, and will help payback the more than $50 billion that taxpayers invested in GM to keep it from collapsing. More stock offerings will happen in the next year or so, letting the government fully divest from the automaker. “It’s a very political topic, but what Americans need to
The U.S. has become a popular haven for Chinese investors, now ranking second only to Australia in attracting Chinese stock investments. remember is that General Motors is an international company,” says Rebecca Lindland, an analyst with IHS Automotive. “If we want to get our money back, we need to understand that they have to do business on a global basis.” The U.S. Treasury has been clear that international investors are welcome to invest in GM, and many outside the U.S. are considering taking stakes in the company. “We expect that a large and diverse group of institutional investors will be offered an opportunity to participate, with no single investor or group of investors receiving a disproportionate share or unusual treatment,” the Treasury said in a recent statement. The U.S. has become a popular haven for Chinese investors, second only to Australia in attracting Chinese stock investments, says Derek Scissors, a research fellow at conservative think-tank The Heritage Foundation. The first half of 2010 was a record year for China, Scissors says. China has sunk $45 billion into investments and engineering projects worldwide. About $1.6 billion of those investments came to the U.S. In China, businesses operate with the funding and blessing of the government, says Tim Dunne, director of global automotive operations for J.D. Power and Associates. The government behaves like an interested shareholder, ensuring companies have competent management and ensuring the companies boost economic growth in their regions. Many Chinese automakers are looking for a way into the U.S. market, he says. China is the largest car market in the world, but the U.S. is the most profitable, he says. “The amount of money changing hands here is much greater,” he says. The aver-

Lavish items Madoff acquired auctioned off in New York NEW YORK (AP) — Anyone wanting to walk in the shoes of fallen financier Bernard Madoff was in luck Saturday: Thousands of belongings from his New York City penthouse, including his used shoes, went on the auction block. An anonymous bidder paid the highest price of the auction — $550,000 — for a 10.5carat diamond engagement ring that belonged to Madoff’s wife, Ruth. The winning bid topped the $300,000 minimum pre-sale estimate. Ruth Madoff’s French diamond earrings fetched the next highest price. Valued at $100,000 to $137,500, they went for $135,000 to an undisclosed buyer. The man who became a symbol of greed and deceit on Wall Street also had a lavish collection of watches. One of his vintage steel Rolex “Moon Phase” watches sold for $67,500, topping a $60,000 minimum estimate. The sale started Saturday morning at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, with an auctioneer from Texas-based Gaston & Sheehan rattling off lots at a tongue-twisting speed all day and into the evening. Buyers responded at fever pitch. They raised their hands to signal a bid — accompanied by bloodcurdling shouts from bid-spotters marking a winning price. Their swaggering style — as if herding bulls instead of selling Madoff’s artsy ones — seemed appropriate for an auction of the belongings of a Wall Street trader who cherished the winning bull in

All of it was being sold — with morbid fascination for mundane articles from the couple’s daily life that also were on the block, from bed linens, clothing, cookware and luggage to intimate items like cuticle scissors and bottles of shampoo. Valued at $75 to $110, the lot with the slippers also included Ruth Madoff’s monogrammed shirt. A young man paid $6,000 for all of it, saying he’ll never be able to wear the slippers because his shoe size associated press is 13; Madoff wore a size 8.

Ten pairs of Madoff’s used designer shoes sold for $900, against a minimum of $250. The disgraced 72-year-old convict is behind bars for life in a North Carolina prison, and his wife was ordered to leave their homes. Despite their vast wealth, the Madoffs didn’t seem to make much room for house guests. The auction included their early 19th-century bed with fabric hangings and “intense sun fading,” at a pre-auction estimate of $8,000 to $11,400. “Just $500?” the incredulous auctioneer, Bob Sheehan,
said of the first bid, adding, “This was the only bed in the whole house, I’m not kidding! $500? My God, it’s not a pullout.” It sold for $2,250. Sheehan conducted the auction for the U.S. Marshals Service, which hoped to make at least $1.2 million off the sale. Proceeds will go to more than 3,000 clients Madoff swindled in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. U.S. Marshal Roland Ubaldo said a total for the sale would not be available for several days, but he believed it would surpass the amount the government hoped for. A New York auction last year of Madoff’s property raised $1 million. The Manhattan penthouse went for $8 million, and his yacht and boats also were sold.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s communications authority unblocked Facebook on Saturday after shutting down the popular social networking website for a few hours. An official with Saudi’s Communications and Infor-

cause he wasn’t authorized to speak to the media, later said the communications authority lifted the ban. Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam. Pakistan and Bangladesh both imposed temporary bans on Facebook this year.

STATESVILLE — Solar energy is now helping power homes and businesses served by electric cooperative EnergyUnited, thanks to a new photovoltaic solar farm in Taylorsville that Duke Energy Generation Services recently acquired from SunEdison. EnergyUnited, which serves residents of Alexander County and 19 other counties in the state, will buy all of the output from the one-megawatt solar facility under the terms of a 20-year power purchase agreement. The solar farm began generating renewable power in early October 2010. “At EnergyUnited, we’re committed to helping build a clean energy future for our members,” said Wayne Wilkins, CEO of the cooperative. “The solar farm, along with power produced at the Iredell County landfill, allows us to meet state requirements for renewable energy, while continuing to provide reliable energy services at competitive prices.” EnergyUnited will also receive all associated renewable energy credits (RECs) from the solar project. These RECs help the cooperative meet the N.C. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard requirement to obtain 10 percent of its energy from renewable resources by 2018. The solar farm’s 4,224 photovoltaic panels can generate enough electricity to power approximately 150 averagesized homes. The panels use a tracking system to follow the sun’s movement during the day, which increases sunlight capture (as compared to conventional fixed-tilt systems) and significantly reduces land
use requirements. SunEdison, a global provider of solar energy services, designed and installed the system at the Taylorsville site. Duke Energy Generation Services also owns and operates a solar project in Shelby and a larger facility in San Antonio, Texas. “Our goal is to help customers make strategic investments in renewable energy in a way that’s affordable and practical,” said Greg Wolf, Duke Energy Generation Services senior vice president and head of its commercial solar business. “We’re pleased to add EnergyUnited to our growing list of quality customers.” In addition to its renewable energy contracts, EnergyUnited continues to examine potential investments in hydropower, wind power and biomass projects. Duke Energy Generation Services’ renewable energy initiatives are separate from the activities of Duke Energy Carolinas, which is part of Duke Energy’s regulated business. Duke Energy Carolinas is installing solar panels on select business and residential customers’ properties as part of a $50 million program approved by the North Carolina Utilities Commission in May 2009. EnergyUnited serves about 120,000 electricity customers in 19 North Carolina counties, stretching from Virginia to northern Mecklenburg County and encompassing the I-40, I-77, and I-85 corridors. Duke Energy Generation Services includes wind, solar and biopower projects. It builds, owns and operates electric generation for large energy consumers.
Greece talks of extending loan schedule ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the country could extend the repayment schedule of a $151 billion loan from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, according to a newspaper interview. “Extending the (loan) repayment schedule is already on the table,” Papandreou was quoted as saying by To Proto Thema, which printed an early edition of the Sunday paper on Saturday afternoon. It was not the first time a Greek government official has talked about extending the repayment schedule for the loan. A month ago, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou told a Greek TV station that there has been an “informal” discussion about extending the schedule, noting that Greece faced very high debt repayments in 2014 and 2015, when its repayments will increase significantly. Papaconstantinou had added
Greece has committed to a stringent schedule of deficit reduction, but revenues have fallen short of target amid the recession. that no decision to that effect had been made by Greece and its creditors. Papandreou repeated in the interview that he did not intend to hike taxes any further or fire civil servants to bring the country’s big fiscal deficit under control. He made statements to that effect at a meeting with top aides Saturday, adding that the deficit would be tackled through spending cuts. “We can make it by targeting excess spending — (there will be) no layoffs. And no further burdens on wage earners and pensioners. And no increase in taxes, any further than what we have already committed to,” he told his aides, according to a government statement. Papandreou also said in his
interview that he would not follow the EU and IMF recommendation to sharply raise the value added tax in a series of goods from 11 to 23 percent. Greece has committed to a stringent schedule of deficit reduction, but revenues have fallen short of target amid a deepening recession. In the third quarter, the country’s gross domestic product shrank 4.7 percent compared to the same period in 2009 and the economy is forecast to shrink 4 percent in 2010 with a further GDP decline of at least 2 percent expected in 2011. On top of that, Greece faces the revision of its 2009 deficit figure, currently standing at 13.6 percent of GDP. The revised, and, presumably, final figure will be announced
by Eurostat on Monday and is expected to be more than 15 percent. The new figure, and the shortfall in revenue, means that Greece will miss its 2010 deficit target of 8.6 percent. Papandreou himself told an audience of journalists earlier this week that the deficit will be cut by 5.5 percent of GDP, which means a 2010 figure in excess of 9.5 percent, if the predictions for the Eurostat revision are accurate. Papaconstantinou told Greek TV channel Mega on Friday that the government would seek to reduce the payroll in state-controlled companies through retirement, transfer to government departments — which would see the employees’ wages drop sharply,as their current pay scale is higher than that of ministries’ employees — and the non-renewal of temporary employees’ contracts. He decline to specify how many of the estimated 60,000 state employees on temporary contracts will be affected.

Forensic nurses week brings attention to specialized care Forensic nurses are the first responders to victims of violence and abuse once they enter the health-care system. This past week, the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) celebrated “Forensic Nurses Week” to recognize the nurses who provide exceptional care to victims and perpetrators of abuse and violence. “Studies show that nearly 40 percent of people are impacted directly or indirectly by violence or abuse,” said Marie Marino, president of IAFN. There are more than 3,000 forensic nurses working around the world to provide the specialized care these victims need. Association members all over the United States and in-
ternationally have written letters to elected officials, placed posters in their facilities and wore lilac — the official color of forensic nursing. To support this effort, the association re-launched its official website, ForensicNurse.org, created a YouTube video series called Forensic Nursing Stories and dedicated the latest of its newsletter, On The Edge, to forensic nurses. Forensic nursing is the fastest growing nursing subspecialty. Forensic nurses provide care to patients as sexual assault nurse examiners, death investigators, legal nurse consultants and in many other roles where victims of violence require the specialized care of a nurse.

DEAR DONNA: Your sister’s problem is not uncommon. When people are living only on Social Security and when one person passes, the amount can be cut severely. There is no reason to go bankrupt if her only income is Social Security, since the Social Security cannot be attached. You didn’t mention whether she owns a home. In the event that she does, the collection agency, if it is so inclined, can go to court and get a judgment and put a lien against the real estate. However, there is no way that lien can be pursued during her lifetime. You mentioned the bank wrote the debt off. The collection agency can make a lot noise, but as long
as her only asset is her Social Security, she is protected. She should write to the collection agency and advise them that her only income and resource is Social Security. The problem is not uncommon. My mother looked at Social Security as her retirement income, and it was never meant to be such. It was only meant to be a supplement.

DECLINE FROM 1C proved a grant program to lure business to several vacant industrial buildings on Long Street. “We’re seeing a very high level of interest and activity,” he said. “I feel there will be a significant amount of refurbishing, upfitting and improving of existing buildings. “We’re seeing some interest in new construction, but if those projects materialize, they’re still many, many months out, at least the larger ones,” Van Geons said. Even when those projects do pick up, he said, it will provide more of an opportunity for building firms to keep their current employees working than a chance for construction workers to flood back into the business. “In all honesty, I believe the prospects for those firms still operating and those employed currently, if they’re able to maintain
the current level of activity ... then I believe they’ll be able to continue on,” he said. As some workers leave the industry, he said, there will a “small amount of opportunity” for others to re-enter. “But I don’t see a significant number of new jobs in that sector for 24 to 36 months or more,” he said. “It could be a number of years before we see significant gains.” Van Geons stresses, however, that just a couple of years ago, employment in the construction industry was at all-time high as the economy boomed and the pace of building did as well. He doesn’t expect to see those levels again “during my professional career.” “It seems to confirm that after a massive recession, we hit a new baseline, and it’ll be a long and slow road toward an improved economy,” Van Geons said. “But I do believe JON C.

Bank encourages ROUNDUP students to get smart about credit FROM 1C
Employees from CommunityOne Bank recently made presentations to middle and high school students across North Carolina as a part of National Get Smart About Credit Day. Sponsored by the American Banker’s Association (ABA), this program enables bankers to teach students money-management skills that will help them make informed decisions about how they handle credit in the future. “We are glad to support this program teaching students about credit,” said R. Larry Campbell, interim president and CEO of CommunityOne. “We participate in this and other ABA sponsored programs each year to provide financial education to students in the communities we serve. We believe that if we reach students at an early age, they are more likely to make more responsible financial decisions later in life.” National Get Smart About Credit Day was officially held on Oct. 21. CommunityOne employees will continue to make presentations throughout the fall semester, extending the reach of the program to more students. Presentations include activities introducing students to credit checklists, credit reports, budgeting information, identity theft and more. CommunityOne Bank is a subsidiary of FNB United Corp. and operates 45 offices in 38 communities throughout central, southern and western North Carolina.

Efforts to extend tax cuts to the wealthy continue
associated press
senate Finance committee chairman sen. Max Baucus, d-Mont., is pushing a plan to make middle-income tax cuts permanent while extending those for the wealthy for just a few years. families, while letting them expire for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and married couples making more than $250,000. Republicans want to make the tax cuts permanent for everyone. Many congressional aides, both Republican and Democrat, think lawmakers will settle on a temporary extension of all the tax rates, perhaps for a year or two. While some Democrats have supported the idea, interviews with lawmakers and aides from both parties suggest that compromise won’t be easy. Republicans are itching for a tax fight. They believe voters punished Democrats for
increasing the size of government, and are looking forward to next year when the GOP will control the House and have more seats in the Senate. Democrats must balance the interests of liberals who are dead set against extending tax cuts for the wealthy — even for a short time — with the more conservative in their ranks who don’t want to raise taxes on anyone in a bad economy. Clouding the issue is whether Democrats who lost at the polls will have the stomach for one last knockdown debate before they leave office. An impasse would mean all
the cuts could expire in January, at least temporarily, resulting in significant tax increases for families at every income level. The tax cuts enacted under the Bush administration in 2001 and 2003 reduced marginal income tax rates at every level. They also provided a wide range of income tax breaks for education, families with children and married couples. Taxes on capital gains and dividends were reduced, while the federal estate tax was gradually repealed, though only for 2010. Obama’s plan to make the lower- and middle-income tax cuts permanent would add a
little more than $3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to congressional estimates. Extending tax cuts for the wealthy would add $700 billion more. The sticker shock of adding nearly $4 trillion to the national debt has some Democrats wary of making any of the tax cuts permanent, especially after Obama’s deficit commission issued a report last week outlining painful spending and tax proposals to rein in the government’s finances. Republicans are less concerned about adding to the debt through tax cuts, despite criticizing deficit spending. This week, lawmakers will try to start laying the groundwork for a deal in private party caucuses and at a White House meeting Obama is hosting for leaders. Action in the House and Senate probably won’t happen until after Thanksgiving. Obama said Friday in South Korea that his goal remains extending the middle-class tax cuts and that the nation cannot afford the cuts for the wealthy. “My hope is, is that somewhere in between there we can find some sort of solu-
ll Fa
le Sa
tion,” he said. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is pushing a plan that would make the middle-income tax cuts permanent while extending those for the wealthy for just a few years. The idea, however, is falling flat among Republicans who don’t want to lose their leverage on extending all the tax cuts. “That’s a tax increase plain and simple that would be used to fund more Washington spending and would discourage private-sector job growth,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. Hatch and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky have said they are open to a temporary extension of all the tax cuts. Hatch would like to extend them beyond the next presidential election in 2012. “We would welcome the president’s help to extend all the current tax rates so that no one sees a tax hike.” McConnell said. “There is no reason we can’t work together to prevent equally a tax hike on families and small businesses.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fresh off big victories on Election Day, Republicans in Congress feel empowered in their fight to extend tax cuts that expire in January, including those for the wealthy. President Barack Obama has said he wants to compromise with Republicans to ensure that tax cuts for middleincome families continue, suggesting he’s open to extending all the tax breaks for a year or two. Republican leaders say it’s a nice gesture by the president, but some key GOP lawmakers want more. “It should be permanent,” said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. “We’ve got to get this economy to pick up and if you raise taxes you’re going to stifle the economy significantly. I’m sure that somebody’s explained that to the president.” Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, who’s in line to be the next House speaker in January, also played down talk of a compromise. “I think that extending all of the current tax rates and making them permanent will reduce the uncertainty in America and help small businesses to create jobs again,” Boehner said. “You can’t invest when you don’t know what the rules are.” Democrats will have majorities in both the House and Senate when Congress returns this week for a lame-duck session that is expected to stretch into December. They will need Republican support to get the 60 votes necessary to pass a tax bill in the Senate. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress want to make the tax cuts permanent for lower- and middle-income

Prominent hedge fund under investigation NEW YORK (AP) — A prominent hedge fund that made huge gains betting against subprime mortgages is reportedly being investigated by federal authorities for extending a $113 million loan to its founder so he could pay off a personal tax bill. The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan are investigating the fund, Harbinger Capital Partners. Authorities are questioning
whether the fund told investors quickly enough when it extended the loan to founder Philip Falcone last year, according to the Journal. The SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s office could not be reached for comment Saturday. Authorities are also probing whether the fund allowed some investors to withdraw money at a time when others were not allowed to because the fund was struggling. Falcone told the Journal in an interview that Harbinger did
not give preferential treatment to certain investors. Hedge funds are pools of money invested by wealthy individuals and institutions like pension funds and endowments. They are only lightly regulated but have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. In 2007, Harbinger bet against bonds that were used to finance subprime mortgages and posted huge gains when those bonds fell in value. But it began to struggle in 2008 and tightened rules about

They carried posters reading “Putin’s Bulgaria” and “He will enslave us.” No violent incidents were reported during the protest, which was closely monitored by police. The deal has also drawn the fire of a party that backs Prime Minister Boiko Borisov’s minority Cabinet in Parliament. On Saturday, the conservative party of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov urged the government “to resist Putin’s pressure and to not allow Moscow to impose its interests” on Bulgaria. Otherwise, it said, it would withdraw its support in parliament. Bulgarians are especially wary of any signs that Russia is seeking to increase its influence in their country, a former Soviet satellite that is now an EU member.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Bulgaria and Russia signed an agreement Saturday that will advance a pipeline project aimed at bringing Russian natural gas to Europe, bypassing Ukraine. The deal, signed during Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s visit to Sofia, envisages the creation of a joint company to build and operate the $34 billion Bulgarian stretch of the South Stream pipeline. The pipeline, scheduled to be operative in 2015, aims to transport up to 63 billion cubic meters (2.2 trillion cubic feet) of Russian natural gas a year under the Black Sea to Bulgaria and other European countries. Putin’s visit to Bulgaria to attend the signing of a deal that formally gives the goahead to this pipeline project underscores the importance that Moscow attaches to South Stream as a tool to expand its grip on Europe’s energy market. South Stream rivals the planned U.S. and EU-backed Nabucco pipeline, which aims to bring to Europe gas from the Caspian Sea region and the Middle East via Turkey and Bulgaria, and reduce Europe’s reliance on Russian fuel. Bulgaria has said the two projects will be complementary. Putin tried to brush off concerns about his country’s increasing influence, saying after the signing ceremony that the pipeline would have a “huge significance” and “Europe-wide importance.” Bypassing Ukraine, the country through which most Russian gas to Europe currently travels, will “reduce all transit risks to zero,” Putin said. He also said that Bulgaria would increase fourfold its revenues from transiting
when and how much money investors could withdraw. The loan to Falcone was backed by the $2 billion he has invested in the fund, the Journal reported.

plaintiffs who didn’t attend the previous mediation attempt. That kept the lawsuit alive for not only 556 people who say they are already sick or disabled, but for nearly 200 additional plaintiffs who want a medical monitoring program. “I think it’s going to be either all or nothing,” says Thompson. “Either everyone is going to trial, or no one is going to trial.” If a settlement is not reached during the three-day meeting, the case is scheduled to go to trial next summer. All Christina Doyle wants is what’s best for her daughter, whose monthly drugs and daily hormone injections would cost more than $3,000 without insurance. Savannah was born without a pituitary gland, which is in the brain and regulates the body’s growth hormones. The injections cause “horrible mood swings” that make a teenage girl’s life even more difficult. Savannah struggles with homework and cannot have children, said Doyle, who was raised in Lick Creek and lived there while pregnant with her daughter. Despite Savannah’s problems, she made local news last year when she plunged into a pond to save a drowning 3-year-old neighbor. Still, Doyle says she’s long been told by specialists that genetics can’t account for her daughter’s poor health. “I did not do drugs. I did everything right. I took pre-

Stickler did not respond to several requests for comment from the Associated Press. The company has defended the practice in court documents, arguing mineral rights agreements dating to 1889 give it “the full right to take and use all water found on the premises.” For decades, coal companies in Appalachia have injected slurry into worked-out mines as a cheap alternative to dams and other systems that can safely store or treat the slurry. The industry says the practice is safe, but critics contend slurry seeps through natural and manmade cracks, eventually contaminating groundwater. The state Department of Environmental Protection has imposed a temporary ban on new injection sites. Earlier this year, a team of West Virginia University researchers advised lawmakers to start monitoring coal slurry, even though they could not conclusively demonstrate a hazard to public health. They also claim Massey drilled 40 more holes than it was permitted, pumping water out to relieve pressure and to make room for more waste. That waste came within feet of their homes, and the lawsuit says tests show the slurry “ripples and bubbles through the system in varying degrees, from highly toxic to simply toxic.” At an August hearing, the five-judge panel denied more than 100 Massey motions to dismiss the cases of those

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Eighteen months ago, Christina Doyle packed up her two kids for an eighthour journey to a West Virginia courthouse, hoping for some resolution to a lawsuit over water pollution she believes caused her daughter’s learning disabilities and slow growth. This weekend, the 32year-old who now lives in South Carolina is doing it again. And so will hundreds of others who believe Virginia-based Massey Energy Co. and subsidiary Rawl Sales & Processing have poisoned their water wells with 1.4 billion gallons of toxic coal slurry. The company has denied wrongdoing, though residents say the proof flows from their faucets as red, orange or black water. They say the chemicals in slurry have left them and their children with developmental disabilities, cancers and other maladies. Since that hot day in Williamson, when Doyle and others packed a field house and a courthouse, the case has been handed from one judge to another. Now, a five-judge mass litigation panel has ordered 748 plaintiffs to appear Monday in Charleston for the start of a three-day meeting or risk being cut from the case. “I think it is kind of unnecessary,” says Doyle, who will make the trip from Andrews, S.C., with her 14-year-old daughter, Savannah, and 10year-old son, Hunter. “Hopefully they’re prepared for the chaos that might ensue,” she said, noting many families have children with disabilities like attention deficit disorder — which they believe were caused by the toxic water. Plaintiffs’ attorney Kevin Thompson says most of his clients will pile onto buses in Williamson before dawn and make the 90-minute trip to the Charleston Civic Center, despite what Thompson calls an obvious hardship on many elderly and ailing plaintiffs. “The judges want to make sure the people of Rawl are serious about pursuing their claims, and they believe this is a way to test this,” he says. “And yes, the people are very serious about their claims. They have jumped through flaming hoop after flaming hoop.” The current and former residents of Rawl, Lick Creek, Sprigg and Merrimac are suing Massey for injecting slurry into 1,000 acres of former underground mines between 1978 and 1987. Slurry is created when coal is washed to help it burn more efficiently. Massey attorney Dan

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s military warned civilians Saturday to leave areas where militants hide in the creeks of its oil-rich southern delta, a potential sign of a major offensive in the region. The stark warning by Nigerian Chief of Defense Staff Oluseyi Petinrin comes after the kidnapping of seven expatriate workers from an offshore oil rig and a nearby support ship working for London-based Afren PLC. It also represents the first official acknowledgment that a government-sponsored amnesty program failed to end violence in the restive Niger Delta. Petinrin said no one should be living in militant camps after the amnesty program, which offered cash payouts and the promise of job training. While satisfying many former militant commanders, rank-and-file fighters have grown increasingly upset over the prospect of no jobs in a region beset by endemic poverty despite 50 years of oil production. Petinrin warned civilians to leave so soldiers and the navy could “avoid any collateral damage.” “I want to repeat that these people are criminals and will be treated as such,” he said. “Many of these criminals are known to be hiding in camps within the creeks of Niger Delta. These camps will no longer be tolerated.” Nigeria, an OPEC-member nation, is a top crude oil supplier to the U.S.

‘Hallows’ sets up Potter finale LONDON (AP) — The minister of magic proclaims that dark times have arisen in the opening moments of the new “Harry Potter” film — and the turmoil that follows lives up to that billing. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” chronicles the chaos that engulfs the wizardry world as evil Lord Voldemort seizes power and sets out to destroy Harry. The film, which premiered Thursday night before its theatrical release next week, is an epic 2 1⁄2-hour tease that should leave fans salivating for “Part 2,” the final “Potter” movie, which does not arrive until next July. Fans may leave frustrated that they have to wait eight months for the finale. But the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series needed to be broken into two parts, said Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as the teen wizard Harry. “I was always very much in favor of it being two parts, and I think most people were, simply because we all realized there was no way you could do justice to the book and really capture the story in one film,” Radcliffe said. In the first six books, there was secondary action that could be cut from the movies, “themes which, while exciting and while fans love them, simply don’t add anything to the main thrust of the story,” Radcliffe said. “In the seventh book, there is very little extraneous stuff that’s not actually contributing heavily to the main plot line.” “Part 1” sends Harry and pals Hermione (Emma Wat-

actors daniel radcliffe, left, emma Watson and rupert Grint at the world premiere of the latest ‘Harry potter’ film. son) and Ron (Rupert Grint) outside their usual haunts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They’re in perpetual danger as they hit the road to hide from Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his followers, the Death Eaters, while simultaneously seeking to find and destroy magical artifacts that are the key to Voldemort’s dark powers. “It’s kind of an edgy road movie, where these three iconic characters, who we’ve always seen in this magical place called Hogwarts, are thrust out into the big, bad world and have to fend for themselves and survive,” said David Yates, who directed both parts of “Deathly Hallows” as well as the fifth and sixth “Harry Potter” films. And what’s Voldemort aiming to get out of all of this? “Everyone knows, don’t they? They read all the books, don’t they? They all know
what he’s up to: world domination, total power,” Fiennes said. The story tests the bonds among Harry, Hermione and Ron as jealousy, suspicion, bickering and feelings of betrayal undermine their relationship. They all take painful leave of their homes: Harry taking a last glance at the sad little closet under the stairs where he lived as a boy; Ron worrying about the safety of his large and loving family; Hermione making an agonizing act of self-sacrifice to protect her parents. Along the way, they journey into enemy territory at the Ministry of Magic, which Voldemort’s followers have turned into a fascist monolith. They learn of the Deathly Hallows, powerful gifts bestowed upon three brothers by Death itself.
Sunday, Nov. 14 The coming solar cycle is looking to be one where much can be accomplished and many wishes can be fulfilled for those who are willing to do their part. Any frustrations you might encounter are likely to be products of your own impatience. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The boss won’t pay for a lot of small talk, but s/he will pay well for a superior performance. When in need of funds, keep your mind and muscles in motion and your mouth shut. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even if you believe that you have some wise suggestions to offer, unless they are explicitly requested, keep your mouth shut. If things go wrong, someone will need to be blamed. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be guarded, because a curious acquaintance is trying to poke his/her nose into a private matter between you and another friend. Watch your step regarding your replies. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re not likely to be stingy in your dealings with friends, but do be careful not to let yourself be maneuvered into an arrangement where you’re asked to pay an unfair share. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Performance speaks louder than words, so if you have others working for you, set an example of what you want from them. An oldfashioned pep talk will not suffice. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Don’t be afraid to be a bit more assertive than usual, if that’s what it takes to accomplish your aims. The important thing is that you do so without being hostile or pushy. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It’s not likely that you’ll be prone to being extra careful with issues or things that are insignificant to you. However, when it comes to something of great importance it’ll be a different story. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — There isn’t a chance that you’ll allow important decisions that affect you personally to be left to others. You’ll make sure that any final judgment calls are approved by you. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You should be able to find some new ways or places to stretch your dollars, by analyzing where and what you purchase on a regular basis. Do so today. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you sense that persons with whom you associate are a bit intimidated by your strong personality, try to lighten up a bit, if you have an opportunity to do so. Let the warmth within you shine through. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although favors you ask of others are likely to be granted, there’s a strong chance that they’ll have strings attached. If that’s the case, handle things on your own. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Find a way to use your head instead of your checkbook when getting involved in a new endeavor with another. Good ideas or strong leadership can be worth more than their weight in gold. United FeatUre syndicate

‘Walking Dead’ is walking tall NEW YORK (AP) — If you missed “The Walking Dead” last week, you missed a top contender for the most deliciously gross scene in television history. In a desperate ploy to escape undetected by the zombies crowding downtown Atlanta, Sheriff Rick Grimes decided to fool them with a deathly masquerade. He found a zombie carcass and chopped it up with an ax, then smeared hunks of these goopy remains on his clothing. But he did it with respect. Rick, a man of conscience, first took a moment to mourn the ordinary guy this monster used to be. Rick’s fellow refugee, Glenn, who used to deliver pizza, was no less aghast at Rick’s plan than were the viewers. “If bad ideas were an Olympic event,” said Glenn, “this would take the gold.” But the ruse worked — at least, until a sudden rainstorm outed Rick and Glenn by rinsing off their gutsand-stench disguise. They had to make a run for it. By turns macabre, suspenseful, poignant and horribly funny, “The Walking Dead” is TV in a class by itself. So maybe it’s no wonder that this AMC drama was an instant hit with its premiere Halloween night, drawing more than 5.3 million viewers, followed the next week by an audience nearly as large. (The six-episode series, already given a green light for a second season, continues to air Sundays at 10 p.m.
EST. And this Sunday the first two episodes — “Days Gone Bye” and the aptly titled “Guts” — will be repeated beginning at 8 p.m. EST.) Based on the popular comic book of the same name, “The Walking Dead” depicts the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse confronted by a tattered group of survivors just outside Atlanta. Principal among them is Rick (played by series star Andrew Lincoln), who, in the series premiere, woke alone in a hospital from a gunshot-wound-induced coma to find the world flipped upside down. His wife and young son were among the missing. He fears they have died. Now Rick and a band of other humans who survived the invasion must defend themselves against these socalled walkers, creatures always hungry for something — like a human — to feed on. Happily, “The Walking Dead” not only defies horrormovie cliches, but also charts its own course in dramatizing a hideous plague and a shattered society. As one counterintuitive twist, this series must be one of the quietest TV shows on record. Long, meditative stretches target characters trying to make sense of what’s befallen them in such a soundless fashion you may think your TV is on the fritz. Even the zombies, unless provoked, don’t make much racket — mostly plaintive hisses and whimperings that can make you ache for them as much as recoil. “I’m sorry this happened to
you,” Rick said to one of them, a wretch whose lower half was gone, as she dragged her ruined torso across the ground with gnarled arms. Rick’s single shot put her out of her misery. The series is beautifully styled and photographed, whether in the ravaged bleakness of downtown Atlanta, which has fallen to the zombies, or the piney-woods retreat, where, on high alert for a zombie attack, a number of survivors are hiding out. “I feel like I’ve been ripped out of my life and put somewhere else,” says Rick on Sunday’s new episode, whimsically titled “Tell It to the Frogs.” The series takes its place as AMC’s fourth original drama series, joining established hits “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” as well as “Rubicon,” which faltered ratingswise in its first season and won’t return.

Troubled cruise shows sea remains untamed LOS ANGELES (AP) — A luxury cruise liner that limped into San Diego after a fire knocked out its power was lucky in many ways — no one was killed or even seriously hurt, a nearby Navy vessel came quickly with supplies and the mishap occurred in tranquil waters. Yet the drawn-out tale of the stricken ship shows just how quickly things can go wrong on a giant floating city carrying thousands of people, and it’s prompting a closer look at whether ocean liners are properly equipped to deal with the litany of problems that could strike: rogue waves, norovirus outbreaks and mechanical problems that disable ships in treacherous weather. “If you want a completely predictable vacation don’t go on the sea,� said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor of the industry trade publication Cruisecritic.com and a veteran of more than 200 cruises. “Ships are bigger and have better stabilizers than ever before, but they are still on the sea and the sea is nature and nature is unpredictable.’� If the Splendor had been crossing the North Atlantic in the winter — instead of about 40 miles off the coast of Mexico in calm waters — things could have been far worse, said veteran maritime attorney Charles Lipcon of Miami. “The weather in the North Atlantic, and off the coast of South Africa, can be awful,� he said. “They usually try to stay close to port, so if something does go wrong they can avoid that. But sometimes they have no choice.� Another stroke of luck for the Carnival cruise: Navy aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan happened to be in the area conducting training exercises, and its 6,000 sailors quickly came to the rescue with deliveries of food and other supplies. Tugboats weren’t far off, and they hauled the 952-foot cruise liner about 200 miles into a San Diego dock on Thursday, bringing weary passengers to shore and end-
ing the three-day ordeal. Passengers disparaged the food and complained about backed-up toilets, yet praised crew members for calmly getting everyone to life boats that turned out not to be necessary. The blaze was extinguished quickly, and no one was hurt. But onboard fires have long been a significant concern of investigators, said former National Transportation Safety Board member Kitty Higgins, and it’s unusual for a fire to shut down an entire engine room and take out every backup electrical system on board. “A fire can be quickly contained so that it won’t require a ship to return to port,� she said. “That raises a lot of concerns.� Four years ago, the Star Princess oceanliner caught fire on a windy night in the Atlantic Ocean as it headed toward Jamaica. One person was killed, 11 injured and 150 cabins damaged before the crew could douse the flames, which were believed to be caused by a cigarette. As investigators try to determine what happened aboard the Splendor, Higgins said they likely will look at the ship’s equipment and also the crew’s response. The Coast Guard said it examined the ship’s smoke and heat detection systems, sprinkler and engineering systems just a day before the engine blew and found no deficiencies. Ships like ocean liners are governed by the laws of the country where they are registered in and under whose flag they sail. In order to raise revenue, Lipcon said, some small countries such as Panama and Liberia are known to exempt ship employees from labor regulations governing the number of consecutive days they are required to work and the number of hours they are given off between shifts. Lipcon said this has sometimes resulted in crew members so tired they pose a serious threat to the safety of passengers.

Rediscover the pleasure of off-line ‘friending’

Perspectives on ‘Invisibility’ This is a posting from “Hey, cameraman,” a blog by Salisbury Post photographer Jon Lakey. here is a special category of pictures that we publish in the print version of the Salisbury Post. We called those pictures “InVisibility.” They are photos that most photograhers consider pictorials. Stark contrast, unusual colors, surface texture and converging lines are just a few guidelines that help make the decision of what is to be an InVisibility photo. I personally love them. They give me the opportunity JON to just photograph something based on pure creativity.

T
“friended” someone recently, and it did not involve the Internet, a computer or technology of any kind. I did it the old fashioned way, in person, face-to-face. For the past three months, I have been running past this little white farm house with its copper-topped white picket fence humbly nestled in a little dell across from Dan Nicholas Park. I must confess that I coveted its chickens and their coop. The creative owner of this quaint homestead painted the saltbox-styled chicken coop barn with gold trim. MICHELLE red Off one side of the MAHER coop extended a large fenced area which was covered to protect the flock from the elements and predatory hawks. As I would trek past, I could see and hear the rooster cocka-doodlee-doing his heart out. Even from a distance, I could tell he was a handsome creature. The property also boasted a fenced-in garden of raised beds overflowing with vegetables, herbs and vibrant marigolds. There was deck inside of this area with a large umbrella that did not sit atop a pole but was suspended from a gracefully curved portable stand. The deck’s cheerfully colored Adirondack chairs beckoned passersby to stop, sit back and take a load off. Closer to the road was a cute little shed colorcoordinated to the coop, gold with red trim. From the signs posted, eggs, vegetables and gifts were for sale. As the weeks went by, I kept hoping that I would see the owner outside so that I could stop and speak to her. I couldn’t really tell when her little shop was open, and I wasn’t brave enough to just go up and knock on her door. Once I saw her on her back deck, but it was early, and I told myself that I shouldn’t disturb her morning coffee. Another time I saw her in with the chickens, and I told myself that I shouldn’t bother her because she looked too busy. So I just kept running and coveting and wishing. Then I finally met the chicken lady. Well, that’s what I had been calling her in my mind. Her real name is Neta. One recent morning, she came out on her porch as I was going by and hollered out to me, “I’ve been watching you. You’re getting skinnier.” I was thrilled and called back in reply, “I’m so glad you came out. I’ve been wanting to meet you. May I come see your chickens?” It turns out that she had been sitting in her house for those few months watching me run by and telling herself that she should come out and speak to me. I’m glad she was letting her dogs out at just the right moment and was more bold than I. That morning I also met Snowflake, Maple Sugar, Josephine, Red Riding Hood, Agnes, Ms. P, Ms. Aster, Grace, Pearl, Opal, Sweet Pea, Marigold, Tulip, Juliette, Apple Dumpling, Snow White, Beatrice, Henny Penny, Twitter, Gigi, Sugar, Beullah Belle, Daisy Mae, Big Mama, Little Mama, Sadie, Verlin Nadine, Ms. Scarlett and Rhett Butler, the rooster. Neta and I probably talked for an hour that first morning, and we’ve been friends ever since. If you’re out Bringle Ferry Road, and the “open” sign is out, stop and get some fresh eggs; I highly recommend them. You haven’t seen the yellow that God intended until you’ve cracked open a fresh egg. Neta also makes and sells delicious tamales. Tomorrow, she’s teaching me her secret recipe. Keep an eye out for her new greenhouse. She’s let me help her paint scenes on the window panes, and her husband, Rob, should have it put together shortly. Lastly, I encourage to you get out there and make a new friend. Get out of house and away from the LCD screen and do it the traditional way, smile-to-smile .

‘People understand the system’s broken’
hen Matthew “Quint” Redmond presented his first Agriburbia project at a town board meeting in 2003, he was laughed out of the room. “I had to leave and compose myself and come back in,” he told his audience at the Center for the Environment on Oct. 28. “And now here I am touring the country lecturing and talking to you guys. So in six to seven years, it’s come completely full circle.” About 120 people turned out to hear Redmond talk about the concept at the center building on the Catawba College campus. Among them were officials from the town of Granite Quarry and Bill Thomas of Concord Builders, the developer of Farmstead, a 126acre development near the town which features the Agriburbia concept combining farming and gardening with residential development. Though there are 3,000 acres of Agriburbia projects being developed and designed across the nation, Redmond said Farmstead is the furthest along. “I think it’s really important for everybody to understand ... if we can get the Granite Quarry Farmstead to move, it will be the very first one of this financial model. It will be very exciting.” Redmond, who designed the concept with his wife, Jennifer, co-owner of their TSR Group, said Agriburbia offers a solution to the world’s growing food shortage. By the year 2050, the earth’s population is projected to reach 9 billion people. “When you say 2050, it sounds way out there,” he said. But in terms of farming, it means there are only 39 growing seasons left to increase the food production to feed the population. That explains the sense of urgency Redmond said he feels every time he gives a talk or lecture on the concept of Agriburbia. Though people tend to bunch up and live together more like they did in the old days as the population grows, he said, each person will still need 2,000 calories a day. “So it’s a pretty interesting problem we have to solve,” Redmond said, and will require an increase in farmers to supply the food. “We think the farmers are going to be the rock stars in the next 20 years,” Redmond said. He projected the need for 30 million farmers to meet the food supply for the growing population. “We really need to have 10 percent of the country actively involved in forprofit farming.” Agriburbia calls for building the infrastructure needed to provide irrigation for the farm portions of developments. That means bringing farming into 21st Century technology. “We have phones the size of Chiclets,”

All that black soaks up light like a sponge and sends a photographer into instant anxiety.

THE INCENTIVE RECORD
Investing in better jobs o far the jobless recovery has lifted few boats in Rowan County, and elected leaders have to wonder what they can do to improve the situation. People need jobs. Period. Incentives alone won’t bring prospects to look at Rowan. But, once the county is in the running for a new business or industry, incentives can help tip the balance when companies compare Rowan sites to those elsewhere. In the long run, a reasonable incentive policy is a valuable tool for government to use. RowanWorks, the county’s economic development agency, recently completed an analysis of incentives’ impact here over the past 10 years. That prompted the Post to take another look at the practice. With political winds shifting and people anxious about the job market, where do incentives fit in the economic scheme of things in Rowan County? The industries that have taken the county up on incentives over the past decade promised more than $1.6 billion in investment and 1,663 jobs. They have paid county taxes in excess of $44.4 million and received incentives — usually, county checks written for them, after they’ve paid their taxes — of $8.9 million. The county netted $35.5 million, money that it might not have otherwise. The beauty of Rowan’s policy is that companies have to follow through on what they say they’re going to do; otherwise, no incentive grant. When you read about an unemployed worker finding a new job as a result of one of these projects — such as Johnny Jones at PGT — the investment feels well worth it. To that worker, it might even be priceless. Incentives add to the list of attributes that make Rowan attractive to industry — access to I-85 and rail, an ample water supply, a good workforce, readily available training, an appealing community and plenty of open space. Our home sweet home has its drawbacks, though. We’re situated on the far fringe of the Charlotte metro region, our airport is small and our average income and education levels are lower than in most surrounding counties. Rowan is not so perfect that it can give up one of its plusses. Just ask that PGT worker, Johnny Jones, what he thinks of the county’s incentives. “If it drives growth and new industry into Rowan County and it drives jobs it can’t be anything but good.” Rowan could use more of that.

s an unapologetic treehugger who even has a trap-and-release program for dust bunnies, I have a confession to make: I’m glad the snakes died. With motorists already having to contend with lovecrazed deer and directionally impaired opossums and raccoons, we really don’t need another road hazard to worry about — like 20foot snakes sunning themselves in the middle of I-85. CHRIS But I’m getVERNER ting ahead of myself. The snakes in question — 10 Burmese pythons — were part of an interesting experiment conducted at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, a University of Georgia research center near Aiken, S.C. It was designed to help answer a question you probably hadn’t worried much about lately: Could Burmese pythons survive in the wild in temperate regions of the Carolinas? While we’re more likely to be on the lookout for copperheads and cottonmouths, wildlife biologists are increasingly concerned about Burmese pythons propagating in Florida’s Everglades National Park and eventually extending their range farther north. Pythons, like most snakes, tend to be coy and secretive — the Emily Dickinsons of the reptile world — and the Everglades cover roughly 4,000 square miles, so no one really knows how many are in there.
But they’ve been tracked through the swamps since at least the mid-1990s, long enough to establish that their numbers are increasing. This isn’t good news because the Burmese python, as its name implies, is a non-native species. Like kudzu and nutrias, the pythons in the Everglades are imported invaders that could further bedevil ecosystems already under pressure from encroaching development and other wetland degradations. They ended up in the Everglades, apparently, after escaping from the captivity of private owners or, more likely, being abandoned by owners who didn’t fully grasp what they would eventually have on their hands. Did I mention that Burmese pythons can grow to 20 feet, weigh up to 200 pounds and devour pet poodles in one constrictive gulp? In dissecting pythons collected from the Everglades, researchers have found the remains of some interesting meals, including skeletal traces of deer, bobcats, alligators, woodstorks (an endangered species) and various rodents. Given all the tasty morsels available in the Everglades, you wonder why the pythons would even consider venturing into the Carolinas. Hickory-smoked barbecue, maybe? At any rate, scientists have debated how far north the constrictors could survive, particularly in the wake of a 2008 U.S. Geological Survey study that postulated pythons could find suitable accommodations as far north as Washington,
D.C. (In a showdown between a python and a corporate lobbyist, my money is on the slithery guy carrying the lizardskin briefcase.) We should note here that python owners, breeders and sellers don’t agree on the extent of this problem or the notion that more restrictive reptile regulations are needed to combat it, as has been proposed in Congress and several states. (These include North Carolina, which in 2009 updated its rules governing the storage and transportation of constrictors and other potentially dangerous snakes.) Reptile nation vigorously disputes some of the research findings, and these big snakes represent some big numbers. The United States Association of Reptile Keepers estimates there are more than 4 million boas and pythons in captivity, representing $1.6 billion in asset value. Of those, about 100,000 are Burmese or African pythons. Testifying before Congress, USARK President Andrew Wyatt said that the reptile trade is a $3 billion industry in the United States — not including the black-market critters smuggled into the country illegally. To help clarify the python range question, researchers built an outdoor enclosure area at the Savannah River lab, mimicking the natural environment by including some brush piles and artificial underground chambers where the snakes could retreat during cold weather. Before setting the 10 pythons (captured in the Everglades) loose in the enclosure, the researchers — including Dr. Michael Dorcas,
a herpetologist at Davidson College — implanted them with radio transmitters and temperature monitors to track their movements and body temperatures. To cut to the chase, none of the pythons survived the winter of 2009-2010. According to the study results, published in September in the online journal Biological Invasions, they were done in by cold snaps in December and January that pushed temperatures below freezing for several consecutive days. The research paper, however, provides cold comfort regarding a definitive answer to how far afield these giant constrictors might eventually roam. It notes that the big snakes have shown environmental adaptability. The habitat where a snake is born affects how it regulates its body temperature, so South Florida pythons might be more vulnerable than, say, a python born in a trailer park in Gastonia. Also, the pythons that survived longest in the S.C. study were those that took advantage of the underground refuges. With deeper natural cavities available, the python might prove more resilient against freezing temperatures. (Note to city: Keep a close eye on those Fibrant cable passages.) Even so, I wouldn’t be too worried. If the Carolinas are going to be invaded by an invasive species from South Florida, it’s more likely to be sunburned former Yankees than a few shivering pythons. • • • Chris Verner is editorial page editor of the Salisbury Post.

Political class is adjusting to new realities ALEIGH — As the new Republican majorities in the North Carolina General Assembly begin to sort out their leadership roles and priorities for the upcoming legislative session, the state’s political class is still trying to take in the full import of the 2010 election cycle. The political, business, and media culture of the capital city has been largely Democratic for JOHN decades. AlHOOD though it should have been obvious to observers months ago that the GOP had a good chance of winning solid majorities in both the state house and senate, political insiders had never really accepted the evidence of their senses. They had resisted the notion that North Carolina politics might take an unmistakable turn to the right. Now they have no choice but to adjust to it. I think that embattled Gov. Beverly Perdue was one of the few politicos in Raleigh not to be surprised or flummoxed by the Republican victory. She’s
R
been working with her advisors on a regulatory reform initiative, a radical reorganization plan for state government, and a 2011-13 budget that will close a multi-billion-dollar deficit without major revenue hikes. All are longtime conservative causes. All are likely to attract significant Republican support in the legislature. And all will help reposition Perdue as a centrist for the 2012 election, should she choose that political route. I am reminded of how nimble former Gov. Jim Hunt proved to be during his last two terms. Faced with a Republican house of representatives for four of those eight years, Hunt tacked to the right on welfare reform, proposed larger tax cuts than GOP leaders had pitched, and supported the 1996 bill that authorized North Carolina’s first charter schools. Hunt was re-elected easily in 1996. Perdue knows this history well. In many ways, however, the political situation facing the governor and the Democratic Party in North Carolina is far more challenging than that facing Hunt in the 1990s. Republicans now have a veto-proof majority in the senate and, at least on some issues, a veto-proof
coalition in the house with a handful of fiscally conservative Democrats. Republicans hold several Council of State offices and a majority on the state supreme court. At the local level, the 2010 elections proved to be a bonanza for Republicans. While capital city politicos are no doubt aware that the GOP recaptured a majority on the Wake County Board of Commissioners, they are likely unaware that the Republicans made major gains elsewhere across the state. According to analysis by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, Republicans appear to have picked up at least 55 commission seats as well as additional races for sheriff, clerk of court, and other offices. Going into the 2010 cycle, Democrats controlled 64 county commissions vs. the Republicans’ 36. Now, the balance is striking: 50 Democratic county boards, 49 Republican ones, and a conservative coalition in Jackson County that includes two Republicans and a new unaffiliated commissioner who will chair the board and ran on conservative issues with the backing of local Tea Party groups. Exuberant Republicans should be reminded that the 2010 elections didn’t suddenly
make them a majority party. They won the General Assembly convincingly, with nearly 60 percent of the statewide vote, but Democrats still enjoy a 7-6 majority in the congressional delegation, control most of the power in the executive branch of state government, and retain a strong set of operatives, fundraisers, and power players within the state’s establishment. And those county results signal the arrival of parity — not of some inevitable GOP ascendancy. Furthermore, now that Republicans achieved their longterm goal of assuming power in the North Carolina legislature and many counties, they have a responsibility to deliver on the promise of open, honest, conservative governance. Closing big budget deficits without raising taxes will require some tough decisions. So will reforming North Carolina’s mediocre public-sector monopolies in education and other services. But the Democrats obviously have the harder challenge. It begins with accepting a basic truth: Raleigh is no longer a Democratic town. • • • John Hood is president and chairman of the John Locke Foundation.

A step toward fiscal sanity ASHINGTON — What Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson have given America is the equivalent of a cold shower after a night of heavy drinking. It’s sober-up time. The co-chairmen of the President’s commission on deficits and debt, in outlining the steps they said would be necessary to eliminate red ink and restore the budget to health by 2020, accomplished one great achievement: They made it DAVID impossible for anyBRODER one to pretend there are relatively easy or painless ways to dig out of the monumental fiscal pit we have fallen into. For a full decade, our politicians have pretended to offer solutions to the budgetary dilemma that were no solution at all. Even before the Great Recession struck, Republican Congresses were playing charades with the approval of President Bush, and the nation was sinking deeper into debt each year. President Obama came to office vowing that he would not just kick the can down the road to his successor. When he said this at a pre-inaugural meeting with Washington Post reporters, I believed that he meant it — and he did. Bowles, the former Clinton White House chief of staff, and Simpson, the Republican former senator from Wyoming, never doubted that Obama was serious about the charge he had given them to clean up this mess. When I interviewed them in Boston last summer, they made it very plain they were going to lay out what it would take to solve this problem, in all its gory detail. Some of the other members of

Erskine Bowles, left, follows former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday as the co-chairmen of President Barack Obama's bipartisan deficit commission arrived for a news conference. the 18-person commission, charged with recommending action to Congress by Dec. 1, sounded shocked at what Simpson and Bowles had put before them. They should not have been. Everyone and every institution will have to contribute — no, genuinely, sacrifice — if we are to repair the damage to our economic health. No area of government
spending will be spared. Not the Pentagon, not Social Security and Medicare, not a single agency or bureau. The tax system will change and collect more from the people than it does now. As this message sinks in, I think there is a chance that a realistic dialogue will occur in Washington. And oddly enough, divided government may help it along rather than
interfere with its growth. As the Bowles-Simpson recommendations are debated within the commission for the remainder of this month, we will learn two things: which of the many uncomfortable options are most objectionable to the most people. Those will have to be modified. And second, is there a core constituency anywhere prepared to step up and face the challenge? The co-chairmen will hold people’s feet to the fire. What they have said is that every time they are told “I can’t support that,” their response will be, “so, what’s your alternative?” What is likely to emerge from that dialogue is a revised agenda that may come closer to commanding a majority in this divided Congress. No Democrat can believe, looking around, that he or she can protect all the programs passed since the New Deal and Great Society days. Not with all those Republicans and tea partiers sitting there with their knives out. And no Republican, no matter how ideologically isolated, can believe that the Democrats whose votes will be needed for any package will permit all the sacrifices to be made only on the spending side — especially in the low-income programs. I expect weeks and even months of protest and gnashing of teeth. But unlike others, I think in the end that reality will force accommodations and when it does, there will be genuine reason for celebration. What is happening right now in Britain, where Parliament is debating an austerity budget, will happen here as well. The new day of sobriety will begin. • • • David Broder’s e-mail address is davidbroder@washpost.com.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Another clueless economic move They still just don’t get it. After the election of Nov. 2 and the overwhelming sweep of Republicans into office, the Obama administration still doesn’t get it. The majority of Americans made it clear that we felt this administration is moving our country in the wrong direction. Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Secretary of Treasury Tim Geithner announced that they will purchase $600 billion worth of bonds to help get the American economy started. That means they are going to print 600 billion dollars. That is over one-half trillion dollars more debt for the United States. Economic forecasters predict that this move will cause the U.S. dollar to be devalued by 20 percent to 30 percent. This appears to be an intentional devaluation of the dollar by our own government! Our elected representatives and senators in Congress need to put an immediate stop to this plan. This is not good for the American citizens, not good for the United States and not good for the world economy. We need to stabilize the economy, not put us in another cycle. Contact your representatives in Congress and in North Carolina and let them know this move by the Federal Reserve is unacceptable! — Tim Byrd Salisbury

Grizzly issue for the GOP EW YORK — Despite its considerable gains in the midterm elections, the GOP has a problem looming in the margins named Sarah Palin. She who can rouse the base like none other is now She To Whom Respect Must Be Paid. Like it or not. Many within the so-called party establishment don’t quite know what to do about Palin. She’s adored by tea partiers, to whom she conveniently attached herself as soon as she sensed a shift in the air. A rogue like Palin isn’t going to let a rogue movement fill a stadium — KATHLEEN her.or a desert — without PARKER She also had some luck with her gambles on midterm endorsements, at least in the U.S. House and a couple of state elections, notably South Carolina Gov.-elect Nikki Haley. Palin’s Mama Grizzly shtick, which followed her pit bull-withlipstick shtick, apparently was effective. She had a less-stellar record in the Senate, with only six of her 11 anointed ones winning. Thus, Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama recently had the audacity to assert what heretofore had been relegated to whispers behind closed doors: “Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate.” Bachus, who likely will replace Barney Frank as chair of the House Financial Services Committee, noted that Palin endorsed some Senate candidates who couldn’t possibly win, such as Christine O'Donnell in Delaware. O’Donnell, of course, is only the most extreme example of tea party mischief. She didn’t have a chance in Haiti of becoming a U.S. senator, but Palin Power put her in the nominee's seat, defeating nine-term establishment candidate Rep. Mike Castle. Other notable lost seats in states where the establishment candidate might have won include Nevada, where Harry Reid defeated tea party pick Sharron Angle. Conventional wisdom among political veterans is that Angle’s primary opponent, Sue Lowden, would have led Reid by 15 points. Other failed races are equally familiar, but especially rich to Palin watchers is the apparent victory in Alaska of write-in incumbent Lisa Murkowski over Palin fave Joe Miller. Republicans didn’t lose the seat to a Democrat, obviously, but the unlikely election of a write-in candidate over a Palin pick in her own home state is illustrative of Palin’s vincibility. Bachus — whose office has since tried to play down his remarks — wasn’t the first to point out the fatal flaw of tea party ambition. Karl Rove was vilified for not initially supporting O'Donnell and for criticizing the tea party’s principle-over-pragmatism approach. The rather obvious message: Nominating

Sarah Palin is a tea party favorite, but poses some problems for the Republican establishment. people who can’t win is ... self-defeating. But Bachus, possibly the highestranking member of Congress to confront the obvious, or to tempt the fates that now await him, was brave to speak foul of the princess party girl as he now invites the considerable scorn of the new and improved GOP base. Although tea party members tend to be over-45 white males — no implication regarding Palin’s popularity intended, but infer at will — there is considerable overlap with the demographic formerly known as the GOP base, aka white Southerners and social conservatives, libertarian streak notwithstanding. Exhibit A: O’Donnell was once an abstinence counselor. Exhibit B: Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” religious revival on the National Mall in August. Exhibit C: Tea party organizer Dick Armey recently said no to “a truce” on abortion and other social issues. Cutting government spending may be the central mantra of the tea party and, increasingly, of Palin. She recently wrote against the QE2 — “quantitative easing” — whereby the Federal Reserve will dump $600 billion freshly minted dollars into circulation in hopes of revving the economy. Doubtless, this inspired critique evolved from Palin’s long years poring over The Economist. But the overlay of social and tea party conservatism is everywhere becoming more defined, and Palin is the intersection of these two ideological sectors. Her own life is a human diorama of social conservative principles, and she is now strategically developing the part of her profile that earned her ridicule as a vice presidential candidate. Watching Palin drop foreign policy and economic nuggets into the twitterverse confirms that the real agenda for Palin is President Palin, and therein lies fresh terror for Republicans. She’s too powerful to ignore, and too (fill-inblank) to take seriously. She is — in a word yet again whispered rather than uttered — “Dangerous.” Not only would Palin the presidential candidate drive away other Republican candidates, but she would most certainly lose a national election. Thus, the GOP finds itself in a pickle: How to shed itself of this attractive nuisance? The answer, alas, is the stuff of all complicated relationships: Can’t live with her, can’t live without her. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.
t is seldom a good thing when the news becomes the news. We’ve seen that twice in recent weeks. First there was ABC News’ ill-fated flirtation with blogger Andrew Breitbart. In the face of heavy criticism, ABC backed off its decision to make Breitbart part of its election night coverage. How prominent a role he was to have played is a point of conLEONARD tention bePITTS tween the two parties; ABC has said it canceled the plan because Breitbart kept exaggerating the role he’d been asked to play. (Breitbart exaggerating? Wow. What are the odds?) Of course, the size of his role wasn’t the problem. Rather, it is that Breitbart is neither a journalist nor an analyst, but an activist and provocateur best known for his involvement in two video hit jobs (Shirley Sherrod and ACORN) that turned out to be riddled with misleading and flat-out false claims. So it is shocking any news organization worthy of the name would allow him within a hundred feet of its coverage. As for the second contretemps: Last week, MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann for two days after it was revealed he had given $7,200 to three political candidates “without getting permission” from his superiors, per MSNBC policy. Ahem. In the first place: Two days isn’t a suspension, it’s a long weekend. In the second place: really? So it would have been OK for him to give money had he gotten approval first? Allow me to quote from my employer’s ethics handbook: “Staff members should not personally and publicly endorse political candidates or take part in political campaigns. We should not make contributions to political candidates or political parties, directly or indirectly, or run for office.” Here’s the funny thing: I had never read that passage before looking it up to quote. I didn’t need to. I knew it was there. How could it “not” be
there for any news organization that is serious about protecting its most vital asset? Meaning, obviously, its credibility. I make no apologies if that sounds old school. It seems to me that in the rush to new school, to reinventing journalism according to the frothy dictates of the infotainment era, some of us (ABC, MSNBC and, most assuredly, Fox, where donations to politicians are a matter of course) have forsaken some fundamentals. Chief among them the requirement that a journalist do nothing that puts him — or “appears” to put him — in the pocket of those on whom he reports. The issue is not objectivity. The standard that word implies is impossible and undesirable. Who’d trust a reporter who was “objective,” betrayed no feeling, in the face of a child rape or terrorist attack? News is a series of judgment calls: what story to cover, how big to play it, what angle to take, and a functioning humanity is required to make those calls properly. While that precludes objectivity, it doesn’t preclude — in fact, it “demands” — disinterest, demands that you have no tangible stake in a given outcome. An emotional or intellectual stake, yes; again, that’s inseparable from being human. But a journalist who has a financial stake like Olbermann, or stakes an entire career on achieving a certain political outcome by any means necessary like Breitbart, forfeits any expectation of being taken seriously by serious people — and yes, that applies even to a pundit. Granted, there is a history back to colonial times of journalists functioning as the propaganda arm of this political party or that. In that sense, Olbermann, Breitbart and Fox are nothing new. But there is a critical difference between propaganda and news — or even propaganda and opinion. When you want the former, you now know where to go. But when you just want to know what’s going on in the world, it might be best to look somewhere else. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. Email: lpitts@miamiherald. com.

This man was deaf and had overcome a lot in his life. The first time I met him, I must say I was a little scared but, that big 6 foot, 5 inch man was a big teddy bear. He enjoyed bringing newspapers by the office to show us when his beloved N.C. State Wolfpack won. He always enjoyed “picking” with me about this since I am such a Tar Heel fan.

He also enjoyed riding his bike around town and keeping up with everything that went on. Although there was not much in the paper about my friend, there was a lot to tell. I just wanted to share a little bit of his life with the community. John Luther, you were loved and will always be missed!! — Amanda L. Collins Rockwell

Democrat, Sen. Barbara Boxer, by two to one, providing her margin of victory. Bush and his political adviser Karl Rove have always understood the rising power of the Hispanic vote, and a few Republicans shared their insight. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American, won a majority of Latinos — and a Senate seat — in Florida. But most GOPers continue to alienate the country’s fastest-growing minority, an act of sheer political suicide. On trade, it was the Democrats who played politics while ignoring reality. In many states, they blamed foreign competition and “outsourcing” for the loss of manufacturing jobs. They knew the argument was false but they made it anyway. As business professor Alberto Salvo of Northwestern told UPI: “We will not create jobs if we shut ourselves out of the global market.” Free-trade pacts that the Bush administration negotiated with Colombia, Panama and South Korea languish in the Senate, while other countries are racing to conclude agreements that will open markets and reduce unemployment. “We are falling behind,” warned economist Thomas Duesterberg. President Obama finally seems to be grasping that fact. Faced with an intractable economy that is recovering far too slowly, he focused on trade as a jobcreating mechanism during his recent trip to Asia. And Ohio voters chose a new Republican senator, Rob Portman, who served as Bush’s trade representative and strongly advocates reducing tariff barriers. We are not naive, but there are flickers of hope here. Yes, both parties seem intent on continuing the partisan warfare that has wasted Washington for years now. But if lawmakers listen to President Bush, if they jettison the “isolationism, protectionism and nativism” that has infected the capital’s bloodstream, if they really want to do something about creating jobs and boosting prosperity, they have two clear options right there in front of them — expand trade and expand immigration. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published this fall.

hen he left office nearly two years ago, George W.

But the passage of time has been kind to the former president: Gallup now puts his approval rating at 44 percent, similar to President Barack Obama’s popularity.

Here’s what I wrote in this space in December 2008: “Consider this record: Hurricane Katrina. The financial meltdown. An explosive national debt. No WMDs in Iraq. Warrantless wiretapping. “Torture.

THE NEWSDAY CROSSWORD Edited by Stanley Newman (www.StanXwords.com)
ALL IN THE GAME: As revealed at 112 Across by Fred Piscop
eorge W. Bush’s new book, “Decision Points,” has been widely panned as dull and defensive, but on at least one subject he makes a strong argument worth STEVE AND COKIE ROBERTS hearing. The former president connects the failure to reform immigration laws and remove trade barriers and places the blame exactly where it belongs: on unthinking and uninformed xenophobia. During the last election, both parties were guilty of willful ignorance in pursuit of cynical political gain. Democrats opposed trade expansion to please their backers in organized labor; Republicans used the immigration issue to stir up the lawand-order crowd. So both have something to learn from a man who knows what he’s talking about. “The failure of immigration reform points out larger concerns about the direction of our politics,” Bush writes. “The blend of isolationism, protectionism and nativism that affected the immigration debate also led Congress to block free-trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. I recognize the genuine anxiety that people feel about foreign competition. But our economy, our security and our culture would all be weakened by an attempt to wall ourselves off from the world.” Start with immigration. Every study shows that newcomers help the economy far more than they hurt it. Whether it’s the Mexican family who runs the neighborhood restaurant or the Indian computer scientist who’s working on the next iPad, immigrants are jobcreating engines. America is only 12 percent foreign born, but 30 percent of Microsoft’s patents are based on the work of immigrant inventors. Yet in many states, particularly in the West, Republican candidates decided to demonize newcomers. And many of them paid a heavy price. Nationally, Hispanics favored Democrats 64 percent to 34 percent, but in three states — Nevada, Colorado and California — they clearly made the difference in critical Senate contests. In Nevada, the GOP’s Senate candidate, Sharron Angle, ran an ad depicting Sen. Harry Reid as “the best friend an illegal immigrant ever had.” She didn’t mean it as a compliment, but the ad backfired. Hispanics came out in large numbers and backed Reid by more than two to one — the biggest reason that he survived Angle’s challenge. “I wouldn’t have been surprised if Harry Reid gave his victory speech in Spanish,” political consultant Fernand Amandi told Bloomberg.com. “The Democrats ... owe their majority in the Senate to the Hispanic vote.” In Colorado, Democrat Michael Bennet rode a tide of Hispanic votes to a narrow edge over Republican Ken Buck. In California, it was a similar story. Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, who took a sharp stance against immigration, actually won the white vote by nine points. But 22 percent of the voters were Hispanic, and they backed the

Checks or money orders may be made payable to: Alisha Byrd, P.O. Box 1092, Salisbury, N.C. 28145. “I’m excited about my book because I truly beBYRD lieve it can help others who might be struggling with some of the same issues I struggled with for years,” said Byrd, a Salisbury native who graduated from Salisbury High School in 1994. “I also hope it will help other single parents realize that raising a child alone, while it’s not the easiest thing in the world, can be done and done well.” A major catalyst for Byrd’s book is the pain she endured over growing up without a father. Byrd got pregnant during her junior year at Winston-Salem State University but completed her classes and final exams that year. Her daughter Chastity is now 14. “My daughter and her dad get along very well,” Byrd said. “I’m so thankful he recognizes the value in being in her life. I still hold out hope that my dad and I will one day establish a close bond, but I’ve made peace with the fact that we may not.” Byrd plans to donate part of her earnings to One Heartbeat A Day, a charity she is establishing in memory of her friend, the late Monica Watson. The charity is geared toward raising awareness about pulmonary hypertension and sarcodosis. A book signing is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Books A Million in the Salisbury Mall.

Fiction is a good way to get to know people of other cultures BY BETTY MOORE Rowan Public Library
Kabul. Kathmandu. Dubai. Shanghai. We may envision these locales as exotic places and wonder what life is like there for ordinary people. Fiction can be a good way to climb into the skin of someone in another culture. The authors of each of the following novels portray their settings almost as another character. “Years of Red Dust: Stories of Shanghai” is the latest book from Qiu Xiaolong. He offers 22 brief stories, set in Shanghai’s Red Dust Lane from 1949 to 2005. Like calligraphy, the author’s deft brushstrokes illuminate the effects that radical political and cultural changes have had on people in one small neighborhood in this historic city. Even the story titles — such as “Return of POW I,” “When Nixon First Visited China,” “Cricket Fighting” and “A Confidence Cap” — evoke this unique place and time. Qiu is also the author of four mysteries featuring Inspector Chen Cao, head of the Shanghai Police Bureau’s Special Case Squad. While his hero investigates murders, the author weaves in social commentary about the changes going on in modern China. Dan Fesperman shows the clash of new and old in his por-
trait of boom town Dubai, a global city that is part of the United Arab Emirates. In his latest thriller, “Layover in Dubai,” American businessman Sam Keller extends his layover to keep an eye on, then search for a missing co-worker. The search leads him on a suspense-filled ride through Dubai’s glittering malls and foreign worker labor camps, and into conflicts between Western culture and local religious traditions. According to a “Booklist” review, “ ‘Layover in Dubai’ has plenty of action, but it’s Fesperman’s portrait of a truly bizarre place that will captivate readers.” Photographer Maria and journalist Imo face vast differences of language, culture and religion in Kabul, Afghanistan, as they research a story about Afghani girls who have attempted suicide rather than enter arranged marriages with older men. In her novel, “The End of Manners,” author Francesca Marciano evokes the landscape and environment of the region in addition to showing the moral complexities confronting both the local people and their visitors. “The Godfather of Kathmandu” is John Burdett’s fourth thriller to feature Buddhist Sonchi Jitpleecheep, a Royal Thai Police detective. Sonchai seeks personal solace from his guru, an exiled Tibetan lama, to deal with
a personal tragedy. At the same time, he investigates the most shocking crime scene of his career. Along the way, readers are treated to a vivid portrait of today’s Thailand. We may never visit these places ourselves, but fiction can provide us glimpses into life in these fascinating faraway cultures. Computer classes: Classes are free.

What the 2010 election means for North Carolina State’s political class faces new realities
s the new Republican majorities in the North Carolina General Assembly begin to sort out their leadership roles and priorities for the upcoming legislative session, the state’s political class is still trying to take in the full import of the 2010 election cycle. The political, business, and media culture of the capital city has been largely Democratic for decades. Although it should have been obvious to observers months ago that the GOP JOHN had a good chance of winning solid HOOD majorities in both the state house and senate, political insiders had never really accepted the evidence of their senses. They had resisted the notion that North Carolina politics might take an unmistakable turn to the right. Now they have no choice but to adjust to it. I think that embattled Gov. Beverly Perdue was one of the few politicos in Raleigh not to be surprised or flummoxed by the Republican victory. She’s been working with her advisers on a regulatory reform initiative, a radical reorganization plan for state government, and a 2011-13 budget that will close a multi-billion-dollar deficit without major revenue hikes. All are longtime conservative causes. All are likely to attract significant Republican support in the legislature. And all will help reposition Perdue as a centrist for the 2012 election, should she choose that political route. I am reminded of how nimble former Gov. Jim Hunt proved to be during his last two terms. Faced with a Republican house of representatives for four of those eight years, Hunt tacked to the right on welfare reform, proposed larger tax cuts than GOP leaders had pitched, and supported the 1996 bill that authorized North Carolina’s first charter schools. Hunt was re-elected easily in

1996. Perdue knows this history well. In many ways, however, the political situation facing the governor and the Democratic Party in North Carolina is far more challenging than that facing Hunt in the 1990s. Republicans now have a veto-proof majority in the senate and, at least on some issues, a veto-proof coalition in the house with a handful of fiscally conservative Democrats. Republicans hold several Council of State offices and a majority on the state supreme court. At the local level, the 2010 elections proved to be a bonanza for Republicans. While capital city politicos are no doubt aware that the GOP recaptured a majority on the Wake County Board of Commissioners, they are likely unaware that the Republicans made major gains elsewhere, in dozens of communities from the mountains to the coast. According to analysis by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, Republicans appear to have picked up at least 55 commission seats as well as additional races for sheriff, clerk of court, and other offices.

districting? Will they be able to gerrymander the congressional and legislative seats to lock in their victory for another 10 years? The power to redraw these district lines may be the sweetest reward for state Republicans. When they can, they will shift Democratic voters from “toss-up” districts to solid Republican districts, giving assurance of more safe Republican seats. For instance, look for movement of Democratic voters from Representative Kissell’s, Schuler’s, Miller’s and Etheridge’s (Ellmer’s) districts to adjoining safe Republican districts. In redistricting state legislative districts Republicans will be constrained by a court decision that requires respect for county lines when practical. Look for a lawsuit before it is all over. Will there be a rush of new legislation on social issues? At the polls on Election Day, a woman who was working for Republican legislative candidates told me she was angry because a bill to permit “right to life” auto license plates had been stuck in committee under Democratic leadership. That bill will be reintroduced, get a prompt hearing, and will almost certainly pass under the new Republican leadership. Will that bill just be one of many that will attempt to enact a conservative social agenda by adding restrictions on abortions and family planning efforts? How will the universities do under a Republican controlled legislature? Democratic senate leaders Marc Basnight and Tony Rand were soldiers for the universities, especially UNC-Chapel Hill. Without their powerful support, state universities will be in trouble. Cuts required to balance the budget will be painful and could be devastating, but universities may face even more fundamental challenges. Some conservative Republicans view the universities as “left wing bastions” where liberal faculty members indoctrinate their students and punish dissent in the classroom. These attitudes could translate into efforts to control or balance the ideology of the faculty and curriculum. • • • D.G. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch.

hat did last week’s election mean, really? Was it a seismic shift, a permanent one, to long term Republican/Tea party dominance? Or, was it merely a tidal movement, part of a regular predictable ebb and flow, shifting temporary control from one group to another? As I sought answers to these questions, I got only a few cautious observations and lots more questions. The question I hear most often is: How were North Carolina Democrats able to protect all D.G. but one of their conMARTIN gressional representatives and at the same time get clobbered in the state legislative races — all this when the election was supposed to be about national issues and anger at Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama? The answer? The best I have is, North Carolina is different. Is there any good news for the Democrats on the national level? Noted presidential historian William Leuchtenburg told me that Democrats should take cheer from their statewide victories in the big states of California and New York. Assuming those states are “in the fold” for 2012, the Democrats have a head start in the presidential election of about 85 electoral votes. Is there any good news for the Democrats at the state level? In the short run, maybe they can be happy to shift to Republicans the responsibility of making the drastic cuts that have to be made next year. In the long run, population growth in the state's urban areas might give a glimmer of hope. Although Senator Burr won a solid statewide victory in his reelection campaign, Elaine Marshall would have won the election if it had been held only in the major urban areas like Mecklenburg, Guilford and the Research Triangle counties, the parts of the state that are experiencing most of the state's population growth. What will be the result of the Republicans taking complete charge of the post-2010 census re-
Going into the 2010 cycle, Democrats controlled 64 county commissions vs. the Republicans’ 36. Now, the balance is striking: 50 Democratic county boards, 49 Republican ones, and a conservative coalition in Jackson County that includes two Republicans and a new unaffiliated commissioner who will chair the board and ran on conservative issues with the backing of local Tea Party groups. Exuberant Republicans should be reminded that the 2010 elections didn’t suddenly make them a majority party. They won the General Assembly convincingly, with nearly 60 percent of the statewide vote, but Democrats still enjoy a 7-6 majority in the congressional delegation, control most of the power in the executive branch of state government, and retain a strong set of operatives, fundraisers and power players within the state’s establishment. And those county results signal the arrival of parity — not of some inevitable GOP ascendancy. Furthermore, now that Republicans achieved their long-term goal of assuming power in the North Carolina legislature and many counties, they have a responsibility to deliver on the promise of open, honest, conservative governance. Closing big budget deficits without raising taxes will require some tough decisions. So will reforming North Carolina’s mediocre public-sector monopolies in education and other services. But the Democrats obviously have the harder challenge. It begins with accepting a basic truth: Raleigh is no longer a Democratic town. • • • Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

‘Decide what to be and go be it’ Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers brings his extraordinary paintings and his thoughts on faith and art to Salisbury BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com “Decide what to be and go be it.” — “Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise,” from The Avett Brothers album “I and Love and You.”
or Scott Avett, deciding “what to be” has led him to success as a musician, no doubt about that. But he’s also a family man, a man of faith, and a painter of rare talent. Avett, 34, is best known as a member of the Concord-based band The Avett Brothers, who seem poised on the brink of major, lifechanging celebrity. The band, which also includes Scott’s brother Seth and non-brother Bob Crawford, is tough to pigeonhole — folk rock doesn’t quite encompass what this band is about. The music features elements of bluegrass, country, punk, honky-tonk. What unifies the music, however, is the passion and exuberant energy behind it — and that is what has earned this hard-working band a legion of faithful fans. When they played on the last day of Wilkesboro’s Merlefest in May, they were greeted by thousands of wildly enthusiastic fans who were thrilled to finally be able to see them performing in the state again. But for Avett, popularity and acclaim has never been the goal. The lyrics of “Salvation Song” explain: “...they may pay us off in fame/ Though that is not why we came.” Fame is also not the reason that Avett pursues his other passion: painting. Eleven of Avett’s paintings are now on display at EastSquare Artworks, and Avett will speak about his art at the Center for Faith & the Arts Fall Colloquy Nov. 22 at the Meroney Theater. Avett’s art display and talk are a coup for Center for Faith & the Arts and its executive director, Sarah Hall. Hall became aware of Avett’s art several years ago and wrote about it for the Post. Her interest was renewed when she saw several of Avett’s pieces at an exhibit in honor of one of Avett’s East Carolina University art professors at the Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh. Hall spotted Avett — whom she had spoken to on the phone extensively but had never met — and approached him. That chance meeting led to a phone conversation about Avett’s art and how it is influenced by his faith. “There seemed to be a lot of spiritual exploration behind his paintings, and I wanted to give him the opportunity to explore that in a public setting — and he seemed open to that,”
F
Hall says. Pinning Avett down to arrange the details of the project was a bit of a challenge, and understandably so: he is busy managing a grueling touring schedule with his band, maintaining a semblance of normality as husband and father and finding time to paint. Avett admits he didn’t always have the focus or discipline that he has now. He looks back at his high school self with something like wonderment. “I never read a book,” he says. “I just never believed that anything (in terms of studying) really worked.” The first few years of college at ECU weren’t much better. “I was lost,” he says. He briefly considered chucking school completely to take a job as foreman of a landscaping crew. A trip to Italy at 23 gave Avett a clarity and focus that had been missing. The time was right, he says, for him to harness the “go get it” work ethic that had been more or less dormant. “There was a new discipline that I followed in Italy, for a month straight, studying painting and drawing,” he says. He’d get up at 6 a.m. and would sometimes work until midnight. Even his eating changed for the better, he says. The experience had to do with re-directing energy. “Life is kind of like a big house slam full of stuff, and you have to rechannel how you store things,” he says. Avett went back to college with renewed focus, earning both a bachelor's degree in communications and a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting. His art instructor Leland Wallin encouraged Avett to go on to graduate school , foreseeing a career for Avett as a professional artist. But music proved the stronger pull, and Avett gave himself over to it. Still, he was serious enough about his art that he opened a gallery in downtown Concord in 2002. It didn’t attract a lot of attention during the five months it was open, but Avett took advantage of the time to paint. Avett’s art draws freely from religious images, including Christ on the cross and a David and Goliath tableau — complete with severed head — that has a dark, Renaissance feeling to it. “The Bible is for sure just a well ... that you can pull big stories, little stories, characters” out of, he says. His grandfather, Clegg Avett, was a Methodist minister. Avett remembers going to Sunday
