Chief: Shooting was ‘last resort’

INCENTIVES’ CHANGING LOOK Ford: ‘No way’ to‘OK’ BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Carl Ford campaigned against incentives when he ran for the Rowan County Board of Commissioners in 2006. Like others who oppose using cash grants to lure companies, Ford called the practice “corporate welfare.” “I was that guy,” Ford said. He lost, but won election two years later. Since taking not only a seat on the board but also the helm as chairman in 2008, Ford hasn’t voted against a single incentive. After his defeat in 2006, Ford said he studied the incentive issue more closely. He began attending meetings JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST locally and in Raleigh.

Incentives not the first tool used to lure new companies BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

The process of luring a new company to Rowan County does not begin by offering incentives. Typically, the N.C. Department of Commerce, a broker or the company itself will contact Rowan County’s Economic Development Commission, called RowanWorks, about a potential project. Working together, the company or its representative and RowanWorks narrow down the choice of buildings or land. If one suits, discussions become complicated, encompassing infrastructure needs, job creation, investment and more, said Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks. To qualify for incentives, a company must provide at least a $5 million capital investment. That triggers the discussion. The company also must create or retain jobs and show the project is competitive, meaning the

grant would make a difference in the company’s performance or decision to expand or locate in Rowan County, Van Geons said. If the project meets the $5 million threshold, incentives enter the picture. Possible assistance can come from the state, county and municipalities, including utility extensions, tax credits and cash grants, workforce training, cheap land or buildings and, in the case of a recently approved incentive for Infiltrator Systems, a free 10-year lease at Summit Corporate Park. Negotiations can take up to 18 months, Van Geons said. County Attorney Jay Dees and Van Geons draw up a draft proposal for County Manager Gary Page and the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. County commissioners review each project on a case-by-case basis and hold a public hearing. They have ultimate discretion, Van Geons said. If the proposed project is inside Salisbury city

limits, the company and Van Geons can seek similar incentives from City Council. Companies pay 100 percent of the taxes on existing property. Then, if they perform as promised by creating jobs and investing in the location, they earn back a percentage of the new taxes they paid in the previous year. Companies investing at least $5 million qualify for 75 percent back. A $50 million investment qualifies for 80 percent back, and $100 million for 85 percent back. County Finance Director Leslie Heidrick and Van Geons administer the cash grants program. RowanWorks recently completed a 10-year study of incentives. But the list of 20 projects that have won incentives since 2000 “only represents a portion of what the EDC has achieved” in the past decade, Van Geons said. “While cash incentives get so much of the attention, they are only a portion of what we do here at the EDC,” he said.

Man hit with baseball bat out of hospital BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

A day after a Salisbury officer shot and killed a man who police said had assaulted his father with a baseball bat, the father is recovering at his home. Meanwhile, the chief of the Salisbury Police Department said he believes the officer felt “in danger” and was justified in taking what he called “a last resort” — shooting James Richard “Rick” Brown. A family friend who didn’t want to be named said Rick Brown’s father, Dewitt Brown, 77, of Harrisburg received eight R. BROWN stitches in his head and was released from Rowan Regional Medical Center. A woman who answered the phone at Dewitt Brown’s home said if he chose to comment, it would be through his attorney. She did not provide an attorney’s name. A police officer killed Dewitt Brown’s son, 46-year-old Rick Brown, early Saturday at his home

Spotlight on Nashville Nights Council to mull special use permit for downtown bar BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Salisbury City Council members will consider approving a proposed new downtown nightclub when they meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall. Karen Littleton is scheduled to request a special use permit to operate Nashville Nights at 127 E. Innes St. Council will hold a public hearing and take information from city staff. Planning board approved the special use permit for 127 E. Innes St. last month on a split vote. City Council must give the final nod. Planning Board members struggled to decide whether the proposed country and bluegrass nightclub would present a health or safety hazard and whether the bar would negatively impact surrounding property values. The board eventually approved the request on a 5-3 vote with two abstentions. After more debate, the board approved Littleton’s request for a special use permit by a vote of 9-1. But the board recommended a sunset clause. If City Council approves the nightclub Tuesday, the property’s special use permit should expire one year from that date, Planning Board recommended. Littleton would have to reapply for a new permit to continue the operation.

Local athletes tough it out in Ironman competition BY DAVID FREEZE For the Salisbury Post

SUBMItteD Photo

rob holmes waves to his wife during the bike-riding portion.

Dr. Delaine Fowler is a bundle of energy. She exudes fitness and her eyes flicker with brightness. Fowler was still on a personal high just a few days after completing one of the most challenging athletic events known to man (or woman, as is the case): She competed along with about 2,500 others in the Ironman Florida Triathlon held in Panama City, Fla., on Nov. 6. Fowler spent the day swim-

ming 2.4 miles in the ocean, biking 112 miles, and then running a 26.2-mile marathon. Those daunting distances were not quite enough though, because her first comment was, “I could have run five more!” It didn’t start out so well, however. The competitors woke up facing a 38-degree temperature with the anticipation of swimming first. Fowler loves the water, but she faced her toughest challenge being crowded by those 2,500 other competitors all entering the ocean at once.

“It was like a washing machine spin cycle,” she said. “My first goal was to survive early in the swim.” Fowler had trained for months and had done one Ironman competition before. She wanted to beat 13 hours in total time, but considered quitting early in the swim due to the turbulence of churning arms and legs surrounding her. Fowler, a physical therapist, and her husband, Alan, hadn’t thought about all this when they first considered doing an Ironman. It all started

as they watched the annual TV coverage of Ironman Hawaii. They loved the stories of competitors who conquered all the training and gathered the mental toughness needed to complete such a grueling event. She competed in her first Ironman in Louisville, Ky., and she hoped Alan would also compete this time. He had a bike wreck just a few weeks before the competition that ended his hopes of competing, but he was still there to sup-

Wearing a hat and a customized fu manchu beard curled on the ends, Cline is the only lefthanded shooter in the group, and he is a good shot. When he shoots, everyone stops and stands silently watching his every movement. With no words, no bragging, he hit the target 10 shots in a row. Then everyone started breathing again and moving around to keep warm. Mike Tanner introduced knife throwing to the group. “I started throwing in the military service.

one relaxed and acknowledged his perfect shot. Busy taking photos, I kept hearing little crunching sounds in the leaves around my ankles as marbles bounced off the target and hit the ground at my feet. Grubb warned the shots were hitting all around me. The other men watched but had said nothing. It was a sign of independence, I think. If I didn’t mind getting hit in the ankles, they didn’t mind watching. It might be a good story next Wednesday night. Back to the first question. Why do the men get together and shoot slingshots? Mike Tanner offered his thoughts: “We want to see who can hit the target 10 times in a row. It’s all about braggin’ rights. Who can hit that target 40 feet away 10 in a row.” Russell said a slingshot is considered a weapon and it cannot be concealed in your car. The slingshot was a popular toy for children starting in the 1940s. Most of the men carried slingshots in their hip pocket to school while growing up, along with the pocket knives that are also now banned. As they shot, one of the men mentioned Rufus Hussey, the most famous slingshooter ever. Hussey died in 1994, but he is still a folk hero in Gold Hill. On Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show,” Hussey shot a corncob out of Carson’s hand. Hussey, from Seagrove, called himself the Beanshooter Man. “Is Beanshooter some kind of Yankee name or what?” Grubb asked. Slingshots have been called beanshooters, flips and gravel shooters. The Gold Hill slingshooters experimented with a “sling” like the one mentioned in the Bible in the story of David and Goliath. All the men laughed recalling the time they decided to try their skills with the sling. “We have a sling. I used it one time and hit my truck and it was behind me,” Russell said. “With that thing, it’s every man for himself when

If you’re looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint, choosing the right energy source is a good place to start. Did you know that just by using natural gas you’re also improving air quality and actually saving energy? At Piedmont Natural Gas, we go to great lengths to ensure you not only get the most reliable energy source, but also one that’s e nvi ro n m e nta lly s o u n d a n d helps us all take responsibility for future generations. We understand the importance of providing clean, efficient energy to our customers and how that gives you and our planet a clear advantage. There’s a reason why natural is in our name. In addition to being both domestically abundant and the most secure source of energy, natural gas offers a number of e nv i ro n m e nt a l benefits. As the cleanest of all fossil fuels, it significantly reduces harmful emissions with 45 percent less carbon dioxide than electricity generated from coal and 30 percent less than oil. Natural gas also cuts smog-producing pollutants 60-90 percent because it doesn’t create ashes after energy release. It’s widely known that cars, trucks and buses are among the greatest contributors

to air pollution in the United States. And since natural gas vehicles (NGVs) can dramatically reduce smog and other contaminants, they can play an important role in the future of transportation. According to the EPA, compared to traditional vehicles, NGVs emit 90-97 percent less carbon monoxide, and 25 percent less carbon dioxide. Plus, natural gas has a relatively simple makeup, so there are vi r tu a lly n o p a r ti cu l ate emissions. The environmental benefit is only one of the reasons natural gas vehicles have a place in the long-term energy solution as well as in our own fleet. They’re also quite economical. NGVs can cut fuel costs by approximately 40 percent — even more as natural gas fueling options increase. And, using natural gas helps double and even triple the normal life cycle of a car engine, which saves money as well as the atmosphere. Piedmont Natural Gas is dedicated to promoting new and existing technology that is more responsible and leaves a lighter trace. And even though you can’t see our product, you can rest easy knowing that just by using it, you’re doing yourself and the environment a great favor.

COMPANIES FROM 1a cent property tax refund for five years on the new investment. So far, grants from Rowan County and the city of Salisbury have totaled $122,148. Food Lion did not have to specify how many jobs the expansions would create but pledged to increase employment, said Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks Economic Development. In 2008, Rowan County approved Duke Energy for an incentive to expand Buck Steam Station, a project that will top $600 million. Starting in 2012, the company will receive roughly $840,000 back annually for 10 years. The power plant expansion will create 20 jobs. Rowan County Commissioner Tina Hall, who leaves the board Dec. 6, voted against the incentive for Duke Energy. She toured the plant and said she believed the expansion was going to take place regardless. “Tax dollars that we need desperately for infrastructure in Rowan County are going to their shareholders,” Hall said.

Duke Energy Duke Energy has been a good corporate citizen in Rowan County for many years and “took advantage of tax incentives that were available to us,” spokesperson Jason Walls said. Duke Energy District Manager Randy Welch, who helped negotiate the incentive, was not available for comment. The power plant expansion was competitive, Walls said. Other Duke Energy sites were in the running, and Rowan’s incentive played a role in the company’s decision to build a 620-megawatt natural gasfired combined-cycle gener-

ating plant at Buck, he said. Walls said incentives were a “good gesture by the community” and “greatly encouraged” the company. Page said losing the Duke Energy expansion was a real risk. “From my discussions, they had options,” Page said, including the Dan River Steam Station in Rockingham County and others in Cleveland and Rutherford counties. “Are you willing to take a chance on losing $680 million?” Rockingham County, which also offered incentives, won an expansion as well. With local property values likely to fall in the upcoming revaluation, Duke Energy’s massive investment could represent the only growth in the local tax base, Page said. “Giving an incentive to Duke was good thing,” he said, “and as the recession drags on, it is even more important that it passed.” The county faces a budget shortfall next year. Without the Buck expansion, commissioners would have an even harder time balancing the budget, Commissioner Jon Barber said. “What has saved us, and will continue to save us, is Duke Energy’s investment,” Barber said. Commissioner Chad Mitchell said he believes Duke Energy would have expanded Buck at some point without an incentive. “It’s almost like, who’s going to blink first,” said Mitchell, who voted yes. But without the incentive, Duke likely would have expanded other plants first, and Rowan would have had to wait for a much-needed tax base expansion, he said.

“We would have been pushed down the list,” Mitchell said. Duke Energy will pay $1.2 million in property taxes this year, and the company’s tax bill is expected to top $2 million when construction at Buck is complete. After 10 years, the county keeps 100 percent.

to do it for?” Hall said. As many as qualify, other commissioners say. Existing companies have a proven track record of jobs and corporate philanthropy, said Carl Ford, chairman of the board of commissioners. “So you want to help them just as much if not more,” Ford said. “We hope to keep them here.”

Food Lion Food Lion, while headquartered in Salisbury, operates in more than 11 states along the East Coast. In various communities, “economic incentives, when available, have been instrumental in helping us determine new locations for additional growth,” company spokesperson Christy PhillipsBrown said in an e-mail to the Post. Teross Young, Food Lion’s director of governmental relations who negotiated the local incentives in 2006, was not available for comment. “With respect to Salisbury, we were extremely appreciative of the economic incentives we received,” PhillipsBrown said. Food Lion has completed a new office that houses about 450 associates at its Harrison Road facility, she said. Construction has begun to reconfigure the Executive Drive facility, where more than 900 people work. “These initiatives strengthened our presence in Rowan County,” Phillips-Brown said. Food Lion in 2006 set a precedent for existing companies by asking for incentives to expand, said Hall, who joined the Rowan County Board of Commissioners shortly after that vote. “So how many are we going

Making an investment Existing industries can provide up to 80 percent of a community’s new investment in any given year, said Goldsmith, the economic development consultant. If they aren’t happy, local officials are “missing the boat” and taking a risk, she said. Rowan County would have “rolled the dice, and we would have lost” if officials had failed to give an incentive to Freightliner last year, Barber said. The company requested and received assistance in exchange for a $15.9 million expansion that promises 695 jobs. Rowan was competing with two other locations, Barber said. Norandal’s Salisbury plant was competing against several other locations for a recent $7 million expansion that will create 25 jobs, plant manger Mike Fox said. Incentives and training grants from Rowan County, the city of Salisbury and the state made a difference, Fox said. At one point, the Salisbury plant’s future was “very precarious,” CEO Kip Smith said. But Fox and other plant leaders showed “exceptional teamwork and tenacity” to survive, Smith said. The community’s commitment to Norandal, through incentives and other support,

gives the company confidence in the Salisbury plant and makes it a good candidate for future investment and expansion by the company, Smith said. “We see this as a sustainable, longterm relationship,” he said. Smith said he understands the controversy surrounding tax breaks for corporations. Norandal first made sure the Salisbury plant was viable, he said. “We do our work before we come asking for support,” he said. “We didn’t go to the community asking for support first. We went there last.” Norandal does “everything we can to be worthy,” Smith said.

Fair treatment While it seems unlikely that a hometown hero like Food Lion would move its headquarters for lack of support from the community, Page said he’s seen it happen before. Page was county manager in Wilkes County when Lowe’s moved its corporate headquarters to Mooresville. “We lost the goose that laid the golden egg,” he said. Wilkes County failed to see the value of retaining existing industry and took Lowe’s for granted, Page said. In today’s economy, tax breaks for local expansions are “less about incentives and more about retention,” he said. Yes, he said, Food Lion likely would have stayed in Salisbury without an incentive. “But should you treat a good corporate citizen any different than someone you are trying to recruit?” Page said. “I don’t think you can discriminate against local, longstanding businesses. You have to treat them fairly.” Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

SHOOTING FROM 1a at 2410 Stokes Ferry Road. The Salisbury Police Department said officers responded to a reported domestic disturbance at the home shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday. Police say Rick Brown struck his father with a baseball bat and when officers ordered him to drop the bat, he instead came at them “in a threatening manner.” Officer J.R. Cable shot Brown, who was pronounced dead at the scene. “Based upon the information I had been given, the officers had reason to feel they were in danger and under significant threat and reacted COLLINS in the way that was necessary given the circumstances,” Police Chief Rory Collins said Sunday. Collins added that what occurred was unfortunate and “certainly always a last resort by a police officer in any situation.” Collins said he couldn’t comment further because of an ongoing State Bureau of Investigation probe. The Salisbury Police Department called in the SBI to investigate the shooting, which is standard procedure, a police press release said. Cable has been placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the SBI’s investigation. The assignment is not a disciplinary action but also established protocol following an officer-involved shooting, the department said. Cable has been on the Salisbury police force for two years.

Landis police nab fugitives

NASHVILLE FROM 1a

LANDIS — Authorities reunited a child with his father two states away after arresting a couple wanted in West Virginia for operating a methamphetamine lab. Landis police arrested Esther Kay Hodges, 41 of Richwood, W.Va., and Timothy Lee Rigsby, 37, of Camden-OnG a u l e y , W.Va., Friday afternoon when a nat i o n a l r e c o r d s check revealed both had outstand- HODGES ing felony warrants, a press release said. Hodges and Rigsby fled to North Carolina after members of the Central West Virginia Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force executed a search warrant Nov. 6 on their Richwood lab, police said. According to the press release, Landis Detective Roger Hosey noticed the burgundy and gray van Rigsby was

driving because it matched a vehicle police were seeking in an unrelated investigation. Hosey stopped the van around 3 p.m. on North Main Street. “Hosey quickly determined that Rigsby and Hodges were not the suspects in that case, but the pair’s suspicious beh a v i o r prompted him to investigate further,� the press release said. A national r e c o r d s check revealed the RIGSBY outstanding warrants and Hosey arrested the couple. Authorities booked Rigsby and Hodges into the Rowan County Detention Center under $50,000 bond each pending extradition to West Virginia. Evidence indicated that the couple had planned to flee from North Carolina to Texas in the coming days, the press release said. Hodge’s 10-year old son

was with the couple at the time of the arrest. Although Hodges legally had joint custody, the child’s father, William Fisher, told police the child had been living with Hodges and was present while the lab was in operation. Fisher said he had concerns about the child’s possible exposure to harmful chemicals and gases associated with the production of methamphetamine. The child told investigators he had been brought to North Carolina against his will and that he was scared for his safety, the press release said. While in North Carolina, the child secretly made a brief phone call to his father, but that conversation was cut short when Rigsby discovered him and took away the cell phone he was using. The child appeared to be in good health, and was reunited with his father in West Virginia late Friday. “It’s a miracle� Fisher said. “It’s been the longest week of my life, not knowing where my son was or if he was OK.�

If approved, Fibrant would offer upload and download speeds of 50x50 megabits per second for $85 per month, 75x75 Mbps for $105 per month and 100x100 Mbps for $125 per month. Subscribers who bundle Fibrant Internet service with TV, phone or both would pay

less. City staff also will suggest revising the wording for a few Fibrant fees and updating the price for fax services. • Consider a site plan for Dest Dental at 140 Mahaley Ave. Council will receive public comment. • Hear from the Community Appearance Commission’s Neighborhood Leaders Alliance regarding the BlockWork program, a partnership with the Rowan County United Way. The program would be similar to the United Way’s Day of Caring.

• Consider the 2010 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. So far, the citywide fair housing survey shows a need for more education and coordination concerning fair housing issues, staff said. The city has had 104 responses to the survey but needs more feedback from low- to moderate-income people. Staff will continue the survey through the next year. • Consider adopting a code of ethics policy for City Council. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

Ribbon cutting Tuesday for customer service center Salisbury officials will cut the ribbon at 2 p.m. Tuesday on the city’s largest construction project in five decades. The new Salisbury Customer Service Center will serve as headquarters for Fibrant, the city’s new fiber-to-the-home utility. The 26,658-square-foot facility also will house customer service for Salisbury-Rowan Utilities and the city of Salisbury, as well as an employee wellness center, a radio shop for the city and county and the ACCESS16 TV production studio. Located at 1415 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave., the center will open for public tours after the ceremony.

Amy: When it comes to family, ‘almost’ doesn’t cut it very drastic move to be with someone who doesn’t consider you and your children family members, and he obviously has no intention of supporting you, other than offering you housing (I gather your children live with their dad). You are responsible for your own choices, and I’d suggest you do what is necessary to start to manage your life in a way that doesn’t create further disruption to your children, who are at very tender ages. “Chad” doesn’t seem like the sort of person who will step up to the plate, and his referring to you as an “almost wife” is insulting, especially because he doesn’t seem eager to change your status.

You have involved your whole family in this very flawed relationship, and now you must do what you can, step-by-step, to move out on your own and pull the pieces of your life back together. ••• Dear Amy: Whenever my husband and I are invited to someone’s house for dinner, we show up with the requested course (usually an appetizer) as well as a bottle of wine.

Dear Amy: I recently moved across the country to be with my longtime guy, “Chad.” It was a long process that also meant my exhusband and two children moved to this area to accommodate my relationship. My ex-husband has purASK a chased AMY house in an expensive suburb, and the children are attempting to adapt to the new school, but things are getting more complicated for me. We all agreed that my exhusband would not pay child support when the move was on the table. I am not yet working, although I am actively hunting. Chad insists that it is not his job to pay for any activities of any sort for my children, ages 7 and 10. He is uncomfortable dining out with them, as he says “we aren’t a family.” He is in the top 1 percent of American wage earners and is contemplating joining an expensive, private and exclusive golf club. He calls me his “almost wife,” and I gather that means we share all the intimacy and none of the financial responsibility. My small nest egg from the untimely sale of our home is shrinking because I have been buying most of the groceries. My anxiety is increasing as the holidays are approaching, and Chad’s adult children (whom I have not met after a five-year relationship) are highly resentful of our relationship. Chad told me yesterday that his son never visits his home because of me. Oddly, I ran a highly successful business before this move, and my recent missteps have left me in a tailspin. I am open to leaving the boyfriend, but please offer some input. — The Almost Wife

OPINION

The Monday forum

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”

GOP’s turn to draw the lines R

ALEIGH — Republicans have the big prize, majorities in the North Carolina House and Senate. That prize is bigger in this election than in most because next year those legislative majorities will take on the once-adecade task of drawing new legislative and congressional district maps. So, with their win, Republicans will have the opportunity to shore up their majorities by carefully crafting lines that maximize Republican voters across all 120 House districts and all 50 Senate districts. Now that SCOTT GOP legislators MOONEYHAM and their supporters have won a hard-fought battle, only a fool would expect them to give up redistricting power. OK, call me a fool, or at least a bit of one. The new bosses of the legislature shouldn’t forget that legislators from their party, over the last decade, have filed bills in each and every legislative session to give up redistricting power, to put the task of drawing new legislative districts in the hands of an independent redistricting commission. During the last legislative session, one of the primary sponsors of the bill was the House’s Republican leader, Paul “Skip” Stam. Co-sponsors of companion bills in the House and Senate included Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, who is likely to become the new Senate leader, and Rep. Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, a frontrunner for House speaker. The legislation was named for the late Ham Horton, a longtime Republican pillar of the state Senate. It will be fun sport, in coming weeks, to ask Republican legislators why that was a good piece of legislation in 2009 but not in 2011. The real answer — but the one they likely won’t give publicly — is that they didn’t work this hard to win their first twochamber majority in a century just to give it up. Still, that doesn’t mean they couldn’t take one whack at the redistricting game and leave future line-drawing to an appointed, independent group, as occurs in about a half dozen other states. After all, they filed those bills for a reason. Presumably, it wasn’t solely because Democrats controlled the process. Gerrymandered districts that result from high-tech, highly-partisan redistricting efforts divide communities of interest and give less voice to political moderates. Computerassisted map making and voting analysis by precinct and postal zip code allow candidates to pick their voters, instead of vice versa. If candidates choosing voters was wrong in 2009, it’s still wrong in 2011. And it’s safe to assume that political operatives in Washington will be having plenty of influence in the map drawing. That influence doesn’t seem to fit too nicely with the Republican philosophy of more state and local control. Finally, Democrats likely will find some legal angle to challenge Republican redistricting in 2011, just as Republicans challenged districts drawn by Democrats in 2001. State courts will wade into the most political of political minefields. The result won’t be pretty or cheap. But if this new Republican majority wants to prove that it really is different from the Democrats, here’s its first big test. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Make peace while there’s still time A

Don’t give up on marriage he election is over. If you’re one of those odd people whose lives are totally consumed in politics, you can try reengaging in real life again. Which means that I’ve caught up on the important things I missed during the election season. I’m watching Reba. Country queen Reba McEntire released a video with rural crooner Kenny Chesney this summer, which I got to see only in KATHRYN the wake of the LOPEZ election results. It’s called “Every Other Weekend,” and it’s sweet enough. Reba has also been the star of a sitcom that’s now a Lifetime Channel mainstay, appearing in syndication. On the show, Reba is, according to the theme song a “single mom, who works too hard. Who loves her kids and never stops. With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter.” Reba, naturally, sings this tune, which ends with: “I’m a survivor.” The Reba character is a single mom because her dopey (usually the case in sitcoms) husband cheated on her. His mistress got pregnant, and now the happy couple is living next door, which at least gives him a continued role in his three children’s lives. High jinks ensue, naturally, but other, deeper things happen as well. The oldest of the three children got pregnant during the course of the upheaval in the family. She and the father of the child get married, and live under mom’s roof. Why am I subjecting you to this soap opera? Because, in a rare move for broken-family TV comedies it’s not salacious or glorifying divorce in any way. On this show, everyone, through mistakes and examples, learns. It’s a mess, but it’s a redemptive one. There’s goodness to it, despite it all. These characters’ lives are about trying, sinning, forgiving. There is even

church. There’s love, ultimately: real love, not drive-by satisfaction. Which is why I was so jarred when I saw Reba’s “Weekend” video. She’s had songs about nearly every kind of relationship, good and bad. She’s been wronged. She’s been sad. She’s been angry, curious, fed up, persistent. But here, she has her daughter and son-in-law from the “Reba” show acting out her and Chesney’s song, a duet about divorce. It’s complicated, as divorce can be, as marriage is. The two characters in the song clearly don’t really want to be divorced. She misses him. He needs her. But they think they did the best things for the kids. But they clearly didn’t: Everyone’s miserable as the kids get shifted from house to house every other weekend.

“Americans see marriage as undervalued by society and see it as one of the top priorities in their own lives.” CARL ANDERSON Author of “Beyond a House Divided”

The kids are not all right, to play with the title of a movie from the last few months. As W. Bradford Wilcox of the University of Virginia recently wrote in National Affairs, an invaluable social-science journal: “The divorce revolution’s collective consequences for children are striking. Taking into account both divorce and non-marital childbearing, sociologist Paul Amato estimates that if the United States enjoyed the same level of family stability today as it did in 1960, the nation would have 750,000 fewer children repeating grades, 1.2 million fewer school suspensions, approximately 500,000 fewer acts of teenage delinquency, about 600,000 fewer kids receiving therapy and approximately 70,000 fewer suicide

attempts every year. As Amato concludes, turning back the family-stability clock just a few decades could significantly improve the lives of many children.” But it doesn’t have to be this way. Marriage in America is not as bad as a music video can make it out to be. Divorce isn’t inevitable. Millions of Americans thrive in their marriages — and maybe even more would, if our culture didn’t continually send the message that it’s a lost cause and divorce is the best answer to marital difficulties. As Carl Anderson points out, talking about his new book, one of the most useful tomes of the fall (“Beyond a House Divided: The Moral Consensus Ignored by Washington, Wall Street, and the Media”): “There is great hope for marriage in America. Ninety percent of married Americans are happily married. Nine in 10 would marry their spouses again if given the choice. Most first marriages do not end in divorce, contrary to the myth that half do. Americans see marriage as undervalued by society and see it as one of the top priorities in their own lives. There is little doubt that the good of marriage is well understood by Americans and will continue to be so.” He adds: “And this is in the face of a constant drumbeat of social and economic pressures against marriage. What this should tell us is that it’s time for our social policies to treat marriage as what it is, the cornerstone of society, rather than something irrelevant and in decline.” Reba sings: “Every other Friday. It’s toys and clothes and backpacks. Is everybody in? OK, let’s go see Dad.” It doesn’t have to be that way. Some marriages do end in a situation of “Every Other Weekend.” But many of those couples, and the country as a whole — and so often, the children — would be better off with “We Can Work It Out.” • • • Kathryn Lopez is the editor of National Review Online.

s I stepped into the room where my grandmother, my father’s mother, lay lifeless, I looked around at all the faces. Each was struggling with something different, knowing that their mother would no longer be with them here on Earth. It made me realize how precious life is. How precious our relationships here on earth really are. It made me think of other families. Why do so many hold grudges? Why do so many hold things against each other? When you see your mother or your father on their death bed, taking their last breath, what will go through your mind? Why didn’t I make things right with her? Why did I let something so small take away the relationship I had with my mother? Your mother brought you into this world. She nursed you when you were hungry, she held you and loved on you and told you how much she loved you. When you were sick she took care of you. She made sure you were warm on a cold night and cool on a warm night. She was always there for you. No mother or father is perfect. They are only human, just like you. They make mistakes, too, just like you. But when you made a mistake, your mother loved you even then. She didn’t throw you to the curb to fend for yourself! She picked you up out of the hole you created, brushed you off and helped you to walk again. We shouldn’t turn our back on our mothers or fathers just because they let us down once or twice (sometimes more) in our lives. We should love them. We should love our family as God loves us. Unconditionally! What does unconditional mean? It means: Without conditions or limitations; absolute. Unconditional love, this is what God has for us. It is not done at a distance! Unconditional love is right there when we need it. He loves us no matter what we do and how terrible of a thing we did. His love for us never fails, never changes and never wavers. Why? Because we are his daughters, his sons, and he loves us! God wants us to love like he loves. If you have been in strife with a family member — no matter what the reason, because to God there are no good reasons, no excuses — make amends with that person. If that person dies and you are still carrying that strife, the only one who is hurting is you. Make amends while the person is still living. All this strife and family feuding is ridiculous; I’m sick of it! I will walk with the love of God no matter what is thrown at me. You might say that’s hard, but I say, what do I really have to lose? Nothing, because I have Jesus! I pray for each and every one of you who has issues with family to make it right with them and do it long before they are on their death bed! Matthew 6:14-15: For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26: And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses. • • • Stephanie Overly lives in Salisbury.

REGION

Election puts lieutenant governor in historic position tial Democratic leadership gap that Dalton could fill. Dalton said last week he would certainly endorse Democratic policy ideas because he’s a Democrat, but he still sees his chief role “to afford open and fair debate in accordance with the rules.� Like then-Gov. Mike Easley and the Legislature offered to her, Perdue has granted Dalton the opportunity to lead in some policy areas beyond serving on the State Board of Education and State Board of Community Colleges. He heads a commission to examine how to regionalize high school curricula so that students are prepared to land jobs at companies in their area. He’s also a chairman of panels to improve transportation and infrastructure and to expand online learning in public education. Dalton, who said he’s running for re-election in 2012, sounds satisfied to focus on pushing those committees’

recommendations, which he believes both parties can embrace, rather than focus on partisan differences. “During my career, I have not judged my issues as Republican issues or Democratic issues,� Dalton said. Berger said he’s not sure what role Dalton will have but “would expect that he would not use his position to frustrate the will of the majority.� While Perdue’s comments suggest an expanded role for Dalton, who once was a chief budget-writer, Perdue may not need that much help handling the legislative process because she’s a former senator and budget-writer herself. And because governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately, Dalton isn’t necessarily expected to promote Perdue’s agenda. Wicker, the lieutenant governor for eight years until 2001, said Dalton is taking the right approach by promoting bipartisanship and the few areas where he’s investing most

GREENSBORO (AP) — State alcohol officials have suspended the liquor permits of a Greensboro nightclub after police say workers failed to report a shooting and denied it ever happened. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Sunday that LAX Gentleman’s Club had its liquor license suspended after the Nov. 7 shooting that left one man wounded. Police documents show the shooting happened outside the club after security workers removed several people who were fighting. Investigators say club workers refused to call 911 and told a friend of the wounded man to take him to the hospital, which did report the shooting. Officials say the club’s manager denied there was a fight or shooting, but investigators say surveillance video showed club workers had used bleach to clean up the scene.

Firefighter killed by car while battling blaze COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — One firefighter has been killed and another injured after they were hit by a car while battling a blaze on Interstate 20 near Columbia. Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins said in a news release Sunday that Chance Hyatt Zobel was killed Saturday. Jenkins said injured firefighter Larry Irvin remained in critical condition at a local hospital. Zobel and Irvin had been with the Columbia Fire Department since 2007. According to information on the Highway Patrol’s telephone message board, a van rear-ended a Chevrolet Impala and sent that car into fire trucks that were in the inside lane of the interstate and into the two firefighters who were working in the median. No one has been charged in the crash and the Highway Patrol is still investigating.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Thousands of people turned out for a celebration of the Navy’s newest destroyer and a tribute to a fallen Marine. The commissioning of the USS Jason Dunham happened under sunny skies at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday. The $1 billion guided-missile destroyer was adorned with red, white and blue flags and ribbons to mark the day. The 510-foot-long ship was built in Bath, Maine, and will have its home port in Norfolk, Va. It’s named for a Marine corporal from New York who died in Iraq six years ago after throwing himself on a grenade to protect others.

STEDMAN (AP) — A Confederate soldier who died 147 years ago and was buried in a mass grave has been memorialized at the cemetery that holds the remains of the family he left behind to go to war. The Fayetteville Observer reported the service for Pvt. Edward Cashwell was held Saturday at a small cemetery east of Stedman. The Sons of Confederate Veterans buried a small casket of dirt from the site of the mass grave at the burial site for Cashwell’s widow and other family members. Cashwell’s great-great-grandson, James Cashwell, attended the service. He said he learned about his ancestor after the Sons of Confederate Veterans helped him do the research. Edward Cashwell died of typhoid fever 15 months after enlisting at the age of 29. He left behind a wife and five young children.

or defend Perdue’s agenda entering an election season — if he’s interested. “Whatever he wants to do, I will empower him to do,� said Perdue, who preceded Dalton as lieutenant governor. “At the end of the day, I hope that he has a role to play just as I was lieutenant governor, (but) it’s very important that he separate himself from the body. He is not a legislator.� The Senate made that clear the last time the majority and the lieutenant governor came from different parties. Through the mid-1980s, lieutenant governors chose committee assignments and made appointments to dozens of boards and commissions. Some even sat on a powerful budget committee. But when Republican Jim Gardner was elected to the post in 1988, Senate Democrats stripped the job of most of its previous powers, leaving him in the chamber only with the constitutional powers of presiding and casting a vote in the event of a tie. Other powers were shifted to the Senate president pro tempore as Democrat Dennis Wicker succeeded Gardner in 1993. Informal efforts by the lieutenant governor — save for issues that governors have delegated to the No. 2 executive post — to influence legislation haven’t been necessary in the past 17 years because Democrats controlled both the Senate and the Executive Mansion. And Senate Pro Tem Marc Basnight, D-Dare, consolidated his power. But Basnight will no longer be in charge, leaving a poten-

RALEIGH (AP) — The next two years at the Legislative Building won’t be historic just because Republicans will control the levers of power for the first time in more than a century. For only the second time since 1901, the Senate chamber will be led by a lieutenant governor who’s a member of the political party different from those of lawmakers who comprise the majority. Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, a Democrat, will preside over the Senate’s daily floor sessions. Republican Sen. Phil Berger of Rockingham County is the presumed Senate president pro tempore. “It’s totally uncharted territory,� Berger said. “It’s certainly something we haven’t been in before.� Like the post-Election Day pledges between Republicans and Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue to work on common goals, Dalton and Berger hope to work well together as they complete the Senate’s business in 2011 and 2012. The two men — both small-town attorneys — have known each other for a decade, while Dalton also was a senator. By all accounts, they get along well. “The election’s over and it’s time to come together,� Dalton told The Associated Press. But like Berger, Dalton could find himself in a more influential position in the Senate compared to when Democrats ran the Senate machinery. He could be the first line of defense for Democrats if GOP leaders try to run roughshod over chamber rules. He could even promote

Lame-duck session opens

president Barack obama walks down the stairs of air Force one at andrews air Force Base on sunday after returning from his longest foreign trip as president, a 10-day tour through india, indonesia, south Korea and Japan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seven weeks ahead of the GOP House takeover, hobbled Democrats and invigorated Republicans return today to a testy tax dispute and a lengthy to-do list for a postelection session of Congress unlikely to achieve any landmark legislation. With change clearly in the air, more than 100 mainly Republican freshmen arrive on Capitol Hill to be schooled on the jobs they’ll assume when the next Congress convenes in January. For Democrats, it’s another sad note as one of their most venerable members goes on trial on ethics charges. Lame-duck sessions are usually unpopular and unproductive. Nothing suggests otherwise this year. Republicans are looking ahead to January, when they will take back control of the House; many Democratic lawmakers and staff are more focused on cleaning out their desks and looking for new jobs. That doesn’t mean they can slack off. Congress must act before year’s end on expiring Bush-era tax cuts to protect millions of people from significant tax increases. Lawmakers failed to pass even a single annual

spending bill this year, and funds are needed to keep federal agencies financed and avoid a government shutdown. Doctors, meanwhile, face a crippling cut in Medicare reimbursements. Democrats still command sizable majorities in the House and Senate, and have other ambitions for the lame-duck session. Most will go unfulfilled. There are efforts to give Social Security recipients a $250 check to make up for no cost-of-living increase next year; to extend unemployment benefits; to allow gays to serve openly in the military; to ratify a nuclear weapons reduction treaty with Russia; and to extend government oversight of food safety. Congress will be in session for a week, break for Thanksgiving week and return on Nov. 29. Lawmakers will continue until they complete their work or give up. Most of the attention this week will be on activities off the House and Senate floors. More than 100 incoming House and Senate freshmen start learning the rules of decorum, how to run a congressional office and how not to get lost in the Capitol basement.

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — A 13-year-old girl missing for days was found bound and gagged but alive in a basement Sunday, and authorities hoped a man charged with kidnapping her might lead them to her mother, brother and another woman who disappeared with her. Matthew J. Hoffman, 30, was arrested at his Mount Vernon home, where Sarah Maynard was found, Knox County Sheriff David Barber said. He said the girl was hospitalized in good condition but would give no details and did not say if she had been sexually abused. Barber did not say what led investigators to Hoffman’s home, which is about 10 miles from the home of Sarah’s family.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A man who was declared legally dead 16 years ago in Mississippi was arrested Sunday in the kidnapping of a Las Vegas girl whose body was found in central Louisiana, the FBI said. FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne said Thomas Steven Sanders was arrested Sunday in Gulfport, Miss. The arrest capped a massive manhunt in a bizarre case that stretched across the country. Court documents obtained by The Associated Press show Sanders abandoned his family in 1987 and was declared dead by a Mississippi court 1994. He lived unnoticed for years despite being arrested several times. Sanders, 53, was wanted in the kidnapping of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts, whose skeleton was found by hunters early last month. Her 31-year-old mother, Suellen Roberts, is missing. Officials say she is not a suspect in her daughter’s death — and they hope she has not met with foul play. Thorne said Sanders was alone when he was arrested by FBI agents.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama left Asia with a greater foothold in the emerging nations that could help shape the American economy for years. But his failure to deliver on his own high expectations on key economic issues served notice that the global stage is not nearly his for the taking. The president returned to Washington on Sunday with mixed results to show from his longest trip abroad as president, an exhausting 10day tour through India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. His first two stops yielded dramatic diplomatic successes and memorable images in two booming Asian democracies that will only become more important strategically to the U.S. But the narrative soured once Obama arrived in Seoul, South Korea, for a meeting of the Group of 20 developed and emerging economies. Obama failed to achieve a free-trade deal with Korea that was to have been the biggest trophy of his trip, and instead of banding with America against China’s currency manipulation, several countries aligned themselves against the U.S. The trip ended anticlimactically in Yokohama, Japan, with an uneventful gathering of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. But Obama has no time to breathe easy. Almost as soon as he gets back to Washington he’ll have to grapple with combative Republican congressional leaders at a White House meeting, then head back overseas for a summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Boise gains in BCS NEW YORK (AP) — Watch out, TCU. Boise State is gaining. The Broncos narrowed the gap on the Horned Frogs in the Bowl Championship Series standings and put themselves in position to pass their BCS Buster rivals down the stretch. Oregon and Auburn are still in the top two spots in the standings released Sunday. TCU remained third, but had a bad week in BCS terms. The Horned Frogs and Broncos are vying for two prizes. The team in third place in the BCS standings is likely to be next in line for the national championship game if Auburn or Oregon slip up down the stretch. Auburn plays Alabama the day after Thanksgiving and South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference title game. Oregon has off this weekend, followed by a home game against Arizona and a road game against Oregon State. Even if a title game spot doesn’t up, TCU and Boise State are still competing for an automatic BCS bid, one that would likely send the highest ranked team to the Rose Bowl while the other could get left out of the BCS all together. The Horned Frogs played their closest game of the season Saturday, a 40-35 victory against San Diego State in which they allowed the Aztecs back in the game with two long fourth-quarter touchdown passes. TCU also was hurt by Utah’s 28-3 loss at Notre Dame. The Horned Frogs beat the previously unbeaten Utes 47-7 in their prior game. It looked like a big win at the time and helped TCU widen its lead on Boise State in the BCS standings. A week later, beating the Utes doesn’t look so impressive and Boise State has crept closer. The Broncos beat Idaho 52-14 on Friday night.

Nolan Smith scored 22 points and the Blue Devils forced 27 turnovers in a season-opening 97-60 rout of the Tigers on Sunday in the first round of the CBE Classic. Kyrie Irving, the first freshman to start a season as Duke’s point guard since Jason Williams in 1999, had 17 points. Kyle Singler added 16 and helped the Blue Devils shoot 55 percent and hit 14 3-pointers. Opening a season as the topranked team for the seventh time,

Duke never trailed and broke it open by outscoring the Tigers 24-11 during the first 8 minutes of the second half. The reigning national champions also did it with defense, turning all those turnovers into 36 points. “We definitely played the defense we wanted to play,” Smith said. “Against a team like that, with guys that can really shoot 3s, we played the defense we wanted to play tonight.” Dan Mavraides scored 16 points to lead the Tigers (1-1), who outrebounded the Blue Devils 31-29 but never got closer than 11 points in the second half and fell to 1-18 in the series. The schools met in the

More misery for Panthers BY FRED GOODALL Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — As long as Tampa Bay keeps winning, Bucs 31 Raheem Morris Panthers 16 doesn’t care how others feel about how the surprising Buccaneers stack up against the rest of the NFC. The NFL’s youngest team has already doubled its win total from last

season, impressing their coach with the type of resilience that’s normally associated with more experienced teams. Rebounding from a tough loss to Atlanta that knocked them out of first place in the NFC South, the Bucs (6-3) beat the Carolina Panthers 31-16 Sunday. Josh Freeman threw two touchdown passes and rookie LeGarrette Blount ran for a score before an an-

nounced crowd of 44,264 — more than 20,000 shy of capacity at Raymond James Stadium. Losing to the Falcons forced Morris to back off his declaration that Tampa Bay is the best team in the NFC, however the Bucs are convinced they have what it takes to remain in contention for a playoff berth. “This team has done it throughout the season,” Morris said. “We got beat bad by the Pittsburgh Steelers and we

bounced back. We came out got beat bad by the New Orleans Saints and we bounced back. It’s no different when you get beat by Atlanta. ... You can’t have any hangovers. This team is too young for hangovers.” Freeman threw TD passes of 8 yards to Arrelious Benn and 20 yards to Kellen Winslow. Blount rushed for 91 yards and scored on a 17-yard run

Edwards breaks drought BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

carl edwards celebrates his victory at phoenix international raceway on sunday.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Carl Edwards marked the end of a 70-race losing streak by climbing into the grandstands at Phoenix International Raceway for a raucous celebration with the fans. Roughly 50 feet away, Denny Hamlin sat in silence on the pit road wall, wondering how his ironclad grip on the Sprint Cup had been pried apart by fuel strategy. “It’s tough to not be happy having the point lead going into the last race. But we were sitting pretty,” Hamlin said. He was in prime position to take a comfortable lead into next week’s season finale by dominating Sunday’s race at Phoenix. He led

a race-high 190 laps and had four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson in trouble for much of the afternoon. And when third-place driver Kevin Harvick was penalized for a loose lug nut on a late stop, nothing seemed to be in the way of Hamlin’s first career NASCAR title. Then cautions didn’t fall as they should have, Edwards chased him down and Hamlin had to burn a ton of fuel trying to preserve the win. His Joe Gibbs Racing crew knew he was going to be at least a dozen laps short of making it to the finish on his last tank of gas, and crew chief Mike Ford called in the No. 11 Toyota for gas with 14 laps remaining. Hamlin was second when he headed to pit

Hat trick lifts Rangers Associated Press NHL roundup ... NEW YORK — Marian Gaborik scored his first three goals of the season, and the New York Rangers beat the Edmonton Oilers 8-2 on Sunday to spoil the return of former coach Tom Renney. The game turned ugly with 8:42 left after a fight between New York’s Sean Avery and Edmonton’s Ladislav Smid. As Avery was being ushered toward the tunnel next to the benches, Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney yelled at him. Theo Peckham joined the fray and was cut off by Rangers forward Brian Boyle. Those two fought after Peckham was blocked from going into the tunnel, and New York’s Brandon Prust took on Zack Stortini.

Capitals 6, Thrashers 4 WASHINGTON — John Erskine scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:49 remaining to help Washington beat Atlanta for its sixth straight home victory. Trailing a rush into the Thrashers’ zone, Erskine used a slap shot from the left point to convert a drop pass from David Steckel, beating Ondrej Pavelec to cap a sloppy, goal-filled game.

Appleby shoots 65, charges to win Australian Masters MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Stuart Appleby ended a nine-year drought at home by winning the Australian Masters on Sunday, rallying from a seven-shot deficit with birdies on his last two holes for a 6-under 65. Appleby was as golden as the winner’s jacket with his putter down the

stretch. He knocked in a 30-foot par putt on the 16th hole to stay in the mix, took the lead with a 25-footer for birdie on the 17th and closed with a two-putt birdie to win by a stroke. Adam Bland, who began the final round with a three-shot lead, missed a 10-foot eagle putt on the last hole.

Boise jumps Frogs

LIVINGSTONE FROM 1B

Wire reports

NEW YORK — Boise State jumped back ahead of TCU in The Associated Press college football poll after the Horned Frogs played their closest game of the season. No. 1 Oregon and No. 2 Auburn also held their places, though the Ducks’ narrow escape in a 15-13 victory Saturday night at California cost them 11 first-place votes and left them with 38. Auburn, which erased an early 14-point deficit and beat Georgia 49-31, picked up 10 first-place votes for a total of 12. The big move came at Nos. 3 and 4. TCU had moved ahead of Boise State last week after a 47-7 victory against previously unbeaten Utah. But that win didn’t look quite so impressive after the Utes were beaten 28-3 at Notre Dame on Saturday. TCU also had to hold off San Diego State 40-35.

CIAA TITLE DURHAM — This time, Shaw’s vaunted “bend don’t break” defense didn’t even bend. With the CIAA Championship on the line, the Bears defense held Virginia State to only 132 yards — only 46 of that through the air —on their way to a 14-7 victory Saturday and the school’s third championship in four years. “This is a huge deal for these kids. We came so close last year, and those kids dug deep and found what they needed to come back and focus. And today, when things went wrong, they didn’t panic, they just kept fighting,” said Shaw coach Darrell Asberry. The Bears now wait to hear if they will play in this year’s NCAA Division II playoffs. “We hope to be ranked high enough to host a game, but if not, we’ve had success on the road,” Asbury said.

BASEBALL LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. — The bat Kirk Gibson used for his historic home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1988 World Series sold for $575,912.40 early Sunday in SCP Auctions’ October/November auction. Gibson’s home jersey from Game 1 of the World Series went for $303,277.20. The auction also included Gibson’s 1988 World Series batting helmet ($153,388.80), NL most valuable player award ($110,293.20), World Series trophy ($45,578.40) and World Series road uniform ($9,664.80). Proceeds from the sale of the World Series trophy and MVP award will benefit the Kirk Gibson Foundation. The identities of the winning bidders weren’t revealed. Also, a Ty Cobb H&B side-written professional model game-used bat went for $75,330, and a 1953 Mickey Mantle New York Yankees gameworn, autographed road jersey sold for $62,256.

tampa Bay’s LeGarrette Blount lunges for the end zone.

PANTHERS FROM 1B in the first half, and Cadillac Williams put the game out of reach with a 45-yard TD burst on third-and-10 late in the fourth quarter. Rookie Jimmy Clausen made his fourth start at quarterback for injury-riddled Carolina (1-8), which got 100 yards rushing on 23 carries from fourth-string running back Mike Goodson. Josh Vaughan scored on a 2-yard run and John Kasay kicked field goals of 46, 28 and 48 yards for the Panthers, who also drove to the Tampa Bay 1 in the closing seconds only to have Clausen denied the end zone on consecutive quarterback sneaks. “I thought Jimmy played well enough to give us a chance, and I think he’ll continue to improve,” Carolina coach John Fox said of the second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame. “We knew it was going to be tough sledding. Their quarterback does an outstanding job,” Fox said. “They operate pretty smooth in the passing game, and I thought they did so today as well.” Tampa Bay started seven rookies, including Benn and fellow receiver Mike Williams, who also had a productive day. According to the Bucs, the last time a team started as many as seven rookies in a game it won, Dallas beat Jacksonville on Nov. 24, 2002. Freeman, who’s in his second season, com-

pleted 18 of 24 passes for 241 yards and no interceptions. Cadillac Williams gained 16 yards on a third-down screen pass to keep the clinching drive alive, then broke through an opening on the right side of the line and raced untouched to the end zone to end any chance for a Carolina comeback. Already last in the league in yards gained and points scored, the Panthers played without injured running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart and simply lacked the firepower to keep up with a Bucs offense that’s become more balanced since the 247-pound Blount took on a bigger role three weeks ago. The rookie best known for punching an opposing player after a game when he was in college at Oregon, carried five times for 73 yards on an 87-yard scoring drive that Tampa Bay covered entirely on the ground. He broke runs of 12, 24 and 17 yards before finishing the drive with another 17-yarder that put the Bucs up 14-3 early in the second quarter. “We came out fast, executed our game plan and did everything we planned,” Blount said. “The defense came out and played well also.” Although Goodson had some success running the ball for Carolina, Clausen rarely looked to throw downfield and put pressure on the Bucs with the passing game. The rookie’s longest completion was 18 yards until Clausen completed a 24-yarder up the sideline to Steve Smith to set up the first of two field goals Kasay kicked in the third quarter to trim Tampa Bay’s lead.

Bonner heats up Associated Press

The NBA roundup ... OKLAHOMA CITY — Matt Bonner scored 21 points and just missed the Spurs franchise record by hitting all seven of his 3-point shots, helping San Antonio stretch its winning streak to seven games with a 117104 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. Bonner swished home three of his 3s during a 21-8 run to open the fourth quarter, and the NBA’s best 3-point shooting team went 6-for-8 from behind the arc to pull away in the final period.

It played out perfectly for everyone but Hamlin, whose rally still left him 12th. Johnson wound up fifth, Harvick was sixth and Hamlin’s lead going into Homestead-Miami Speedway is a mere 15 points over Johnson. Harvick is a manageable 46 points out. “Everybody made it on fuel, is that what you are

throws.” Ugly as it was, it was still a nice road win for Livingstone. The Blue Bears managed to put the sting of losing a 17point lead against Pfeiffer late Saturday night in the rearview mirror, and they can enjoy this victory for weeks. They don’t play again until Dec. 2. “I was just happy that our kids endured,” Livingstone coach James Stinson said. “We believed in each other.” At this point, rebuilding Catawba (1-1) is a far cry from what it was a year ago when departed stars Antonio Houston, Rob Fields and Donald Rutherford scored at will. It’s senior point guard Dominick Reid’s team now, and he was the most prominent victim of all those whistles. Reid’s third foul came trying to draw a charge barely a minute into the second half. His fourth came when he was called for an offensive foul with 14:58 remaining. “Both were tough calls because I thought I beat ’em to the spot both times,” Reid said. “They were calling it very tight, so that was a big advantage to the offensive player. But then I got my fourth one on a charge that was bang-bang.” Reid had to sit with Catawba trailing 47-44, and he stayed on the pine nearly nine minutes. The Blue Bears (1-1) grabbed control of the game in his absence. “Reid’s a player I’ve watched grow and mature for a long time,” Stinson said. “We had planned to go at him hard because if he’s not in the game it changes Catawba’s offense a great deal.” Both teams took decent shots in the first half — but neither team made them. Livingstone led at the break 3935 because it was 12-for-13 from the foul line and because it crushed the Indians 28-16 on the glass the first 20 minutes. “Rebounding was our focus, and we believe no one can beat us when we rebound,” Henry said. “We brought a lot of energy to the boards.” Catawba played better in the paint in the second half. Invisible in the first half, 6foot-6 soph Lee Martin had all 14 of his points after halftime and yanked down five of his six rebounds after the break. Livingstone’s lead was just 57-55 with 10:33 remaining when Darius Cox nailed a rainbow 3-pointer. That shot seemed to get LC rolling, and it dominated the next few minutes behind lightning point guard Trone Jackson and Tyler Johnson, a

JaJuan Johnson added 10 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks for Purdue, which made 13 of 28 3-pointers. No. 22 Temple 82, Toledo 49 PHILADELPHIA — Micheal Eric had 14 points and nine boards to lead five Temple starters in double figures. Maryland 89, Maine 59 COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Jordan Williams had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Cliff Tucker scored 16 in the first half. Florida State 97, UNCG 73 GREENSBORO, — Chris Singleton had a triple-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 steals for FSU.

telling me?” Hamlin asked as he crossed the finish line. “I know. That was ugly,” Ford replied. “That’s something we’ve definitely got to work on.” “What do we got to work on? I don’t understand,” the frustrated driver replied. “Fuel mileage,” Ford responded. “That was awful.” It couldn’t have gone any worse for Hamlin, who completely outperformed the competition but had little to show for it at the end.

“I hate that it boils down to the final race,” Hamlin said. Not Johnson. “We have one heck of a points race going to Miami and I’m pumped,” Johnson said. “I am so happy to put pressure on the No. 11 team. We’re ready to race for this thing. I hope the pressure of us being on his heels really works on his mind throughout the course of the week. One race, winner take all, and it’s going to be a hell of a show.” A week after Knaus

smart forward who made one turnover in 31 minutes. Johnson, who posted the first double-double of his career with 11 points and 10 boards, made a short jumper for a 70-61 lead. Then he found wide-open Aaron Wilson in the right corner. Wilson’s clutch 3-ball pushed LC to a 73-62 lead, its biggest of the night. Catawba had inched within 76-70 with 2:12 left when Henry skied for an offensive board and kicked out to Cox for another 3-pointer and a nine-point lead. Those secondchance points were backbreakers for Catawba, and when Jackson fed Johnson for an 81-70 lead with 1:10 remaining, the Indians were forced to press desperately. “We were a well-prepared team,” Johnson said. “We work all the time on handling pressure and we were able to execute at the end.” Catawba still made a serious rush in the final minute behind Reid, whose steal and layup with 32 seconds left cut the deficit to 82-78. The Blue Bears were trapped in the corner next to the Catawba bench with 28 seconds left but got a timeout. Then Livingstone broke tough pressure, getting the ball into Henry’s hands at midcourt. Henry made two clutch free throws with 21 seconds left to stall the comeback. “We work on free throws so much that making them is second-nature,” Henry said. It was officially over when Reid missed on a 3-point try from the right wing with 13 seconds left. Donte Durant made the shot difficult for Reid, then swooped in to grab the clinching rebound. “If I could’ve made that one they might have panicked a little bit,” Reid said. “But this was mostly a free-throw shooting competition, and they won it. They made theirs, and we didn’t make ours.” Catawba was shooting oneand-ones with 13 minutes left, and both teams were soon in the double-bonus. Catawba finished 21-for-32 from the line, while the Blue Bears were 33-for-41. “I still think we’ll be good, but we’re young and we’re going to lose some along the way,” Baker said. “I’d give us about a ‘C’ on our report card tonight. We were a little flat and that was disappointing with us playing Livingstone at home. We didn’t have as much bounce as I expected to see.” LIVINGSTONE (85) — Henry 16, Johnson 11, Jackson 10, durant 9, Redfern 8, cox 8, taylor 7, Ford-Bey 6, Boswell 4, Wilson 3, Okam 2, Adams 1, paul.

first game played at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a 36-27 victory by Duke in 1940. Princeton hadn’t allowed that many points since a 10376 loss to North Carolina on Dec. 31, 1968, and hadn’t turned the ball over more often than that since it had 29 giveaways against Maryland in 1998. “We threw the ball away a little bit too much,” Tigers coach Sydney Johnson said. “When you give a great team like this extra opportunities ... they shot the lights out.” Mike Krzyzewski moved four victories shy of 800 at Duke and improved to 30-1 in home openers at the school. The Blue Devils pushed their decade-long nonconference winning streak at Cameron to 78 games and won their 43rd straight home game against unranked opponents. Fittingly, the holder of another impressive streak was in the crowd — Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. This one initially figured to provide an interesting con-

trast between the Blue Devils’ newly installed, high-energy defense and the patient, backdoor-cutting offense that has been the Tigers’ signature. But Duke’s pressure routinely frustrated Princeton, preventing the Tigers from working the ball to their center and created 17 turnovers in the first half. Despite that, the Blue Devils led just 34-28 in the final 11⁄2 minutes before the break. They reeled off the final eight points of the half on 3pointers roughly 20 seconds apart from Smith and Singler, and that pushed the lead into double figures to stay. “We had too much energy on the offensive end in the first half. We just wanted it so badly that I think we screwed up about five fast breaks,” Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t attack the zone right because ... I don’t know. We were a little bit whacked out with all the energy. In the second half, we combined energy and poise.” And that led to the big run. Mason Plumlee started it with a layup 15 seconds into the half, and Irving scored eight points during the burst. His free throw with 15:14 left made it a 20-point game.

benched his pit crew in the middle of Hamlin’s win at Texas, the champions were riding high after stealing one in Phoenix. They were clearly off their game — Johnson had won the last three Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races at Phoenix — and never contended Sunday. But as Ford huddled with car owner Joe Gibbs, and crew members packed up their equipment in silence, Knaus reveled in the final results just a few feet away.

Johnson lounged on a patio outside the press room. He didn’t join Hamlin on the podium, as is routine, because he wasn’t interested in what Hamlin had to say. Hamlin’s face said it all . “He didn’t go out of his way to say ‘Hi’ on his way out, so I can imagine he wasn’t in a good mood,” Johnson joked. No, he wasn’t, and it was a far cry from the celebration Johnson and Harvick were in after the gut-wrenching turn of events.

Wild win for Jags Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Mike Thomas caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from David Garrard that Houston defensive back Glover Quin batted into his hands on the final play in regulation, giving the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-24 win over the Texans on Sunday. The game looked as if it was going to overtime, but Garrard heaved a pass toward the end zone with no time on the clock. Quin, who was burned all afternoon, tried to bat the ball to the ground. Instead, he knocked it right to the 5-foot-8 Thomas. Thomas, who was trailing behind the pass and looking for a ricochet, caught it at the 1-yard line and then stepped across the goal line for the winning score. The Jaguars (5-4) went into a frenzy and even drew a celebration penalty that couldn’t be enforced. The Texans (4-5) trudged off the field in disbelief. It was Houston’s third straight loss, dropping them from the top of the AFC South to the bottom. The Jaguars had a chance to take the lead in the closing minutes, but Josh Scobee yanked a 43-yard field goal left. The miss gave Houston the ball with a chance to win it, but the Texans needed to drive 67 yards in 1:34 with no timeouts. They moved the ball some and got close to field-goal range, but Joel Dreessen fumbled on a third-and-15 play, giving the Jaguars one more shot. Bills 14, Lions 12 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Fred Jackson scored two touchdowns in leading Buffalo to its first victory of the season and sending Detroit to an NFL-record setting 25th consecutive road loss. Jackson scored on a 1-yard plunge and a 16-yard catch in a sloppy game played in rain-soaked conditions between two perennial losers. Buffalo (1-8) ended what had been its worst start to a season since going 0-11 in 1984. The Lions (2-7) broke the road losing streak they set in dropping 24 in a row from 2001-2003. The win wasn’t assured until Detroit quarterback Shaun Hill overthrew Brandon Pettigrew at the back of the end zone on a failed 2-point conversion attempt with 14 seconds left. Jets 26, Browns 20, OT CLEVELAND — Santonio Holmes scored on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 16 seconds left in overtime, giving the Jets eighth straight regular-season road win. It was the second consecutive overtime victory for the Jets (7-2), who won 23-20 in Detroit a week ago. New York overcame three missed field goals by Nick Folk, including a 47yarder in OT. Cowboys 33, Giants 20 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jon Kitna passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns and Dallas looked revitalized under interim coach Jason Garrett. Kitna had TD passes of 13 yards to rookie Dez Bryant, 71 to halfback Felix Jones and 24 to Miles Austin as Dallas (2-7) snapped a five-game losing streak in its first game since Garrett replaced Wade Phillips. Rookie cornerback Bryan McCann scored on a team-record 101-yard interception return in a game highlighted by big plays. Colts 23, Bengals 17 INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning didn’t throw a TD pass for the second game this season, but Kelvin Hayden returned an interception for a touchdown and Javarris James ran for a TD to lead Indianapolis. The banged-up Colts (6-3) didn’t need Manning’s arm to win this one. Instead, they scored 17 points off five turnovers and stopped the Bengals twice in the final 2:40. The Bengals (2-7) have lost six straight and dropped to 0-7 against Manning. Dolphins 29, Titans 17 MIAMI — Miami achieved its season-high point total, and it only took three quarterbacks, a flea-flicker and the revival of the wildcat.

Defense helped, too. Randy Moss managed only one catch in his first game with the Titans, Miami takeaways led to two touchdowns. After Miami quarterbacks Chad Pennington (shoulder) and Chad Henne (knee) departed with injuries, third-stringer Tyler Thigpen led an 85-yard drive in the fourth quarter to seal the bizarre victory. The Dolphins (5-4) snapped a fivegame home losing streak, including three losses this season. Tennessee (54) lost coming off a bye for the first time in five years. Bears 27, Vikings 13 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler threw for three touchdowns, Devin Hester had two big returns and Chicago moved into a tie with Green Bay for the NFC North lead. It was a rough day for Brett Favre and the Vikings (3-6), who needed to win and beat the Packers next week to jump back into the division race. Favre had 170 yards passing after getting a career-best 446 last week against Arizona, when Minnesota wiped out a late 14-point deficit and beat the Cardinals in overtime. This time, there were no late rallies. Favre threw three interceptions — all in the second half — and two late in the game that wiped out whatever chance the Vikings had at a comeback. Chicago held Adrian Peterson to 51 yards rushing. Broncos 49, Chiefs 29 DENVER — Kyle Orton threw a career-high four touchdown passes, Tim Tebow had two TDs and Knowshon Moreno topped 100 yards for the first time as Denver scored its most points in 47 years. Snapping a four-game losing streak, the Broncos (3-6) kept alive their chances of getting back into the playoff race in handing the Chiefs (54) their second straight loss. The only time the Broncos scored more points was in 1963, when they put up 50 against the San Diego Chargers. The Broncos stuffed the Chiefs’ vaunted ground game by taking a 350 lead behind a trio of TD passes from Orton, a 1-yard run by Tebow and a 75-yard fumble return for a TD by linebacker Jason Hunter. Tebow also threw his first NFL pass, a 3-yard TD toss to fullback Spencer Larsen. 49ers 23, Rams 20, OT SAN FRANCISCO — Joe Nedney kicked a 29-yard field goal with 9:38 left in overtime, and Troy Smith passed for 356 yards in leading San Francisco. Smith earned his second straight victory as a starter for the 49ers (36), throwing a go-ahead 16-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with 2:10 left in regulation. After Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson led the Rams (4-5) back for Josh Brown’s 33-yard field goal on the final snap of regulation, St. Louis couldn’t get a first down after winning the overtime coin toss. Seahawks 36, Cardinals 18 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Matt Hasselbeck returned from a one-game absence to throw for 333 yards, Mike Williams caught 11 passes for 145 yards and Olindo Mare kicked five goals to lead Seattle. Williams, out of the NFL the past two seasons after flopping in Detroit, had career highs for catches and yards as the (5-4) swept the Cardinals (3-6) for the first time since 2006. Patriots 39, Steelers 26 PITTSBURGH— Tom Brady maintained his mastery of the Steelers, throwing three touchdown passes to tight end Rob Gronkowski and scoring once himself, and the Patriots bounced back from an embarrassing 20-point loss. No NFL team wins more on its home field than Pittsburgh, but no opposing player wins there like Brady, who has won six of seven overall against the Steelers and four of five at Heinz Field. He was 30 of 43 for 350 yards with no sacks or interceptions, and now has 14 career TD throws and three interceptions against the Steelers.

The rates established pursuant to G.S. 62-156 shall not exceed, over the term of the purchase power contract, the incremental cost to the electric utility of the electric energy which, but for the purchase from a small power producers, the utility would generate or purchase from another source. The purpose of the hearing cited in this Notice is to consider revision of the avoided cost rates and contract terms previously set by Utilities Commission for the purchase of electricity by the electric utilities who are parties to this proceeding from qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities in North Carolina.

Doctors can’t find cause of foot numbness Dear Dr. Gott: About three years ago, in a slip and fall, I suffered a separation of the quadriceps from the left kneecap. The surgery went well, and I have complete recovery and use of my left leg. About six months later, I started to feel numbness in the toes of my right foot. This has been getting worse and spreading into the ball of my foot. There is no pain. My doctor ordered a scan of the lower lumbar area. He read the scan and said that he saw a possible DR. PETER arthritic spur in contact GOTT with the nerves and that it was the cause of the numbness. He then sent me to a pain clinic, where two doctors studied my scan and concluded that I had a compressed disc that could be contacting the nerves. These differing diagnoses have left me puzzled. All three recommended cortisone in-

jections. I went to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist, with no help. I had an electronic test of conductivity of the nerves between the calf and my toes, but no abnormality was found. I went to a university hospital and saw a foot and ankle specialist, who could find no reason for the condition. My family doctor sent me to an anesthesiologist who examined my scan, but he saw nothing that would be helped by cortisone. He said that he would give me a shot if I wanted it, but it would do no good. I thanked him very much for his candor. Can you help me? Thank you. Dear Reader: You appear to have covered many of the bases thus far in your search for an answer. I do, however, have a few more suggestions, but first, I have some questions. What type of scan did you have? An MRI? CT scan? Xrays? I can't determine if you should undergo more sophisticated testing without knowing what you've already had done. For example, if you had

only an X-ray, a CT may help clarify the results. An MRI is another step up from the CT scan. Because there is some controversy about the results, this may be a good starting point. Next, do you have any other medical conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure? These conditions (and many others) can lead to complications, especially in those who are not receiving treatment or are poorly managed. If you're not sure whether you have any of these conditions, now is the time to have blood work and a physical exam to rule out or confirm a possible underlying condition. Because you have already seen most of the specialists I would recommend, request a referral to a neurologist. Testing can determine whether the nerves of your foot are involved and whether you have neuropathy. There are several treatment options available, depending on the cause. These may include chiropractic manipulation, rubbing mentholated chest rub on the affect-

ed areas, cortisone shots, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), prescription pain relievers, physical therapy, Anodyne therapy and surgery. If an underlying disorder, such as diabetes, is the cause, treating the disorder may relieve your numbness. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Managing Chronic Pain." Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order payable to Newsletter and mailed to PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

‘Megamind’ continues box office reign LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Ferrell’s dastardly schemes continue to succeed, with the animated “Megamind” staying at the top of the box office. The DreamWorks Animation 3-D comedy, featuring Ferrell as the voice of a super villain, made just over $30 million in its second week in theaters, according to Sunday studio estimates. It’s now made nearly $90 million total. “Megamind” also features the voices of Brad

Pitt, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill. Opening in second place is the 20th Century Fox action thriller “Unstoppable,” starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as railroad workers trying to stop a massive runaway train. It made $23.5 million. The movie is based on a 2001 Ohio incident in which a train carrying hazardous cargo traveled 66 miles without a crew. Last week’s No. 2 film, “Due Date,”

fell to the third spot with $15.5 million. The Warner Bros. comedy features Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as opposites stuck together on a crosscountry road trip. It’s now made $59 million in two weeks. Among the weekend’s other new releases, “Skyline” opened in fourth place with $11.7 million. The Universal Pictures sci-fi thriller depicts aliens invading and destroying Los Angeles.

Monday, Nov. 15 Far more movement than usual is likely to be in the works for you in the next year. Some activity might be for pleasurable purposes, but most is likely to have something to do with business and everyday life. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Managing and directing others with extreme skill is within you, but you’ll need to reach out in a manner that is not only acceptable, but is also welcomed. Show your stuff. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — The victory that you’re envisioning can only be accomplished with a lot of tenacity combined with much optimism. Both are needed to pull off what you want. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Larger than usual strides can be made at this time if you baste your desires in a lot of positive thinking. Big accomplishments can be made in matters that you recently became interested in. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re entering a brief but extremely favorable period for achieving financial success, which might be larger than anything you’ve ever experienced in the past. Don’t waste this cycle lollygagging. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is a strong probability that you could meet someone who has access to contacts you’ve been trying to reach. If asked, this person will open up some of these doors. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Believe in yourself and your abilities, and you will soar at whatever it is you want to accomplish. It’s a good day to begin with, but having faith in your abilities will make things even better. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Be friendly to everybody, because although it’s a given that involvements with successful people can rub off on you, even some lowly types can open up some big doors of opportunity. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Lady Luck is likely to be showering you with multiple opportunities where your work or career is concerned. Take advantage of every one of them, regardless of size. Cancer (June 21-July 22)— Although a number of conditions might be better for you than others might be, you could fare best with people or things that have never been fortunate for you previously. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Detecting that you have more control than usual in certain important endeavors won’t be a figment of your imagination. Act on any positive feelings or hunches you get. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Lots of great friends, good conversation, interesting activities and perhaps even a surprise could all be in store for you. This could be one of your happier days. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The possibilities for achieving large material gains are much greater at this time than usual, but it will still be up to you to get out there and make things happen. Don’t sit on your luck. United FeatUre Syndicate

The defenders fight for trump control BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Last week, we looked at declarer being careful to retain trump control. This week, let’s study how the defenders try to undermine declarer’s trump control. In this deal, you are West, defending against four spades. You lead the heart king: two, eight, four. How would you plan the defense? If we first look at the deal from declarer’s point of view, he seems to have no worries. He has only three losers: one spade and two hearts. And he appears to have 10 tricks: four spades, three diamonds and three clubs. The only risks are a defensive ruff (if an opponent has a minor-suit singleton and can arrange a ruff) or losing trump control (which will happen if spades are 5-0 and might occur if they are 4-1). When you have four trumps, especially when you expect declarer to have only five, try to make him ruff something, getting his length down to yours. Here, continue hearts, forcing South to trump the third round. Declarer then leads the spade king. What now? If you win this trick or the next round of spades and play a heart, South will ruff in the dummy, cross to his hand in a minor, draw

your trumps, and claim. You must hold up your spade ace for two rounds. If declarer plays another trump, win with your ace and lead your last heart. South has to ruff with his final trump, establishing your remaining spade as the setting trick. Alternatively, if South abandons trumps and plays on the minors, you get a ruff with your spade six, which again defeats the contract.
