He is a door gunner in blackhawk helicopters providing air support for missions and sometimes for Medevac helicopters picking up the wounded. “Last couple of months have been a little difficult for him and his fellow soldiers as his unit lost several guys, including one of his roommates, in a helicopter crash. But he is doing well and doing the work he loves to do. He loves to fly and is happiest in the sky.” His address is:

Funeral at noon for slain store clerk BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

The youngest brother of the store clerk fatally shot during a robbery Friday says he has been living a nightmare since. “When I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was just dreaming,” said David Rios de la Cruise. His sister, Deyanira “Dee” Rios de la Cruz, 20, was shot during a robbery at Latin Mix, 429 N. Salisbury Ave., Spencer. Dee had switched shifts with another store clerk so that she could work a few extra hours and help her DE LA CRUZ family move into a better home. David, 17, is the youngest of eight children, and Dee was the second-youngest. “Every moment I was with her was special,” he said. David, who worked at Latin Mix as a stocker but has since quit, said he never imagined anything like this ever happening to Dee, and said he feels horrible. “We are trying to be strong,” he said

of his family and friends. “We’ve been praying every day.” Family and friends gathered at the family’s home Monday before the visitation for Dee. A black bow adorned the front door, a shrine to Dee inside the home filled with pictures and flowers. Dee’s funeral is at noon today at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, 4401 Statesville Blvd. She will be buried wearing a special piece of clothing — a yellow jersey from her favorite soccer team, Club America, of the Mexican Soccer League. “She had a lot of talents,” David said. “She was a very good artist, and she played soccer. She was really good, too. “Her dream was always to play soccer for the International Club of Mexico.” David said she leaves behind many friends. “Everyone loved her,” he said. “She was really sweet, always caring. She thought of everyone else before she thought of herself. “She always did the right things, made the right decisions and said the right words all the time. ... Every moment I

An anti-incentive group led by two former N.C. Supreme Court justices has sued the state over giving cash grants to private businesses. But the Rowan County attorney says the practice is legal and local officials continue to tweak the process. The N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law leads the fight to end what opponents dub “corporate welfare.” Institute lawyers argue government should not award taxpayer dollars to companies in exchange for jobs and investment. The group boasts legal heavy-hitters including former state Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, who serves as DEES executive director, and former Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake as senior counsel. “Those are some respected legal minds,” said Jay Dees, Rowan County attorney. “You can’t discount their legal arguments.” Still, Dees maintains that cash grants worth $8.9 million paid to Rowan County companies during the past 10 years are legal. RowanWorks Economic Development recently completed an impact analysis showing companies with incentives have generated $44.4 million in revenue and pledged to create more than 1,660 jobs since 2000. “My position is yes, we can give incentives,” said Dees, who crafts legal agreements between the county and companies. “Here’s where I think the difficulty comes in deciding the constitutionality of incentives,” Dees said. “What is a lawful, legitimate government purpose? That’s where it gets blurred.” Orr’s institute has yet to win an incentives case against the state, although seven of eight cases are pending. A lawsuit to overturn incentives to Dell Computer ultimately lost. The institute, which publishes the Corporate Welfare Weekly newsletter, believes the state constitu-

Commissioners want to extend tax breaks BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Although Rowan County commissioners say they don’t like incentives, several want to extend tax breaks and other perks to more companies. Currently, to qualify for an incentive, a business must create or retain jobs and invest at least $5 million. Several commissioners want to lower the threshold so smaller companies can qualify. “Maybe we should look at tweaking that

Philip Morris property developer drops hearing BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — Carolina USA Partners, the company proposing a $750 million “performance park” on the former Philip Morris property, says it cannot meet a deadline to obtain $100 million in federal stimulus money. How that will impact the proposed development is not immediately known. “I don’t think the project, from the developers standpoint, is lost,” said John Cox, president of the Cabarrus County Economic Development Corp. The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners was supposed to hold a public hearing Monday night on a resolution approving the project’s financing through Recovery Zone Facility Bonds in the amount of $100 million.

“I don’t think the project, from the developer’s standpoint, is lost.” JOHN COX president, Cabarrus County Economic Development Corp.

But Terry Keeney, president of Stargate Worldwide and Carolina USA Partners LLC, asked in an e-mail sent to the county Friday that the item be removed from the agenda. “Realistically,” Keeney said in the e-mail, “we are unable to comply with the deadlines required to obtain the Recovery Zone (bonds).” The $100 million reportedly was going to help purchase the property. Cox said the decision to can-

cel the hearing says to him that there are a number of things on a strict timetable related to the project, and this was one the developers could not meet. Earlier this month, Georgiabased Stargate Worldwide announced plans for a Carolina USA Performance Park on the old cigarette manufacturing site, which includes 2,200 acres and a 3.5 million-square-foot facility. As planned, the park would house many companies, including film, television and music

production; computer animation research and development; car restoration; electric car production; and educational institutes. The park also proposes a 3,500-seat theater for live television and broadcasting, a water park, restaurants, hotels and a gated residential community for seniors. Cabarrus County would not have had anything to do with the financing beyond the “Special Purpose Project” resolution. Private lenders would have issued the bonds, whose investors would have been liable. In October, Cabarrus County commissioners approved declaring the county a “recovery zone,” in anticipation of Stargate Worldwide’s application for the stimulus money.

Likewise, if a company pledges 100 jobs and only creates 95, it receives a prorated check, Dees said. Most companies must apply for their first incentive one year after approval, he said. “We don’t want these things to drag out,” he said. The county gives more complicated projects two years before payments start, Dees said. Duke Energy, which is building a $600 million power plant, has three years for construction before payments begin. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

the company’s assessed value on new investment was $9 million, far less than the $17 million in the agreement. “The county paid the incentive just as the policy prescribes,” County Manager Gary Page said. Although PGT, a window manufacturer on Heilig Road, was short on the investment, the company still qualified by exceeding the incentive policy’s minimum of $5 million. “When their investment incentive check was written, it was prorated and reduced,” Page said. “It wasn’t for the full amount.”

public hearing until the company is prepared to make itself known, Dees said. “No more Project X.” • • • Most agreements list two requirements: jobs and investment. However, the numbers may not be hard and fast. If an approved company has met its jobs pledge, it will qualify for an incentive, as long as the assessed value of new investment hits a $5 million threshold. When the county paid PGT Industries in 2009, the company had surpassed its promise to create 300 jobs. However,

tion prohibits incentive subsidies, senior staff attorney Jeanette Doran said. Opposition is rooted in the public purpose doctrine, which should prevent the state from imposing a tax unless it serves a public purpose, Doran said. Dees said incentives are used to promote growth by creating DORAN jobs and increasing the tax base. Noble goals, Doran said, “but the constitution doesn’t allow government to give mega corporations handouts.” Incentives awarded in Rowan County pale in comparison to recent deals with the state topping $250 million. The largest incentives in Rowan hover around the $8 million mark for Duke Energy and Southern Power. Rowan does not give upfront cash or free land. Local companies receive checks — usually a 75 percent property tax refund on new investment — after they perform to certain criteria, by creating jobs or meeting a minimum investment level. Still, incentives are contrary to good government, Doran said. “The government is taking money from taxpayers and giving it to private corporations,” she said. Companies should at least have to meet a “but-for” test, Doran said. In other words, but for the government assistance, the business would not hire additional people. “We hear this a lot. Companies wouldn’t be here or in the state at all if we didn’t give them an incentive,” Doran said. Make them prove it, she said. “That would be a good first step to reigning in what some have called the second war between the states,” Doran said. While incentive negotiations have set off bidding wars between North Carolina and other states, the incentive game hasn’t become that cutthroat in Rowan County. However, some elected officials said they have felt pressure to approve incentives. “It’s an ingrained part of our current business climate, but it’s not coming from the government end,” Rowan County Commissioner Chad Mitchel said. “Obviously, it’s being pushed by the private sector.” Tina Hall, a commissioner who leaves the board Dec. 6, said pressure on incentives comes from companies, as well as economic developers. “We were told, ‘Are you willing to take that risk, lose that big of an employer? That’s a lot of jobs,’ ” said Hall, who has voted both yes and no on incentives. Several business leaders have said cash grants played a role in their decision to locate or expand in Rowan County. “They made a difference in

exclude property not initially listed by the taxpayer. The county has never litigated an incentive agreement. Businesses don’t intentionally do anything wrong, Dees said. “Everybody knows if one grant recipient gums this process up unjustifiably, it will hurt everybody else downstream,” Dees said. The process has become more transparent since the days when the company name wasn’t revealed during the public hearing, or when commissioners met in closed session to discuss incentives. The county will not hold a

bringing this business to Salisbury,” said Nancy Lee, former plant manager for Henkel, which won incentives from the county and city for a $25 million expansion and 103 jobs. “They made a difference in keeping this business in our state and in Rowan County.” Incentive agreements between the county and companies are fluid and complex, Dees said. “Every project is different,” he said. Commissioners adopted an official incentive policy in 2006, although a dozen companies received incentives prior. The county continues to add requirements and spell out expectations, Dees said. Until recently, companies didn’t have to apply for their incentive payment. As a result, some companies received two payments in one year to make up for an oversight, said Leslie Heidrick, county finance director. Now, companies must apply each year for their check or lose it, she said. “We haven’t worked out all the kinks,” she said. “Between Robert (Van Geons) and I, we are constantly trying to perfect the process.” Van Geons is executive director for RowanWorks, the county’s Economic Development Commission. Dees said he, Van Geons and Heidrick have worked to clean up the incentives program. The baseline for incentive payments is now “very clear,” Van Geons said, and agreements are more formal and direct. Agreements now include the county’s formula to determine the assessed value of new investment. Cash grants are awarded based on the assessed value of improvements, not how much a company actually spent, Van Geons said. “There was a heavy learning curve for everybody involved in administering (the program),” he said. • • • County officials have learned along the way. Food Lion, which has received two incentives, once requested an incentive on rolling stock and inventory. But grants are limited to real estate and fixed improvements. “We did have a conversation with Food Lion to clarify what the grant applied to,” Dees said. “That wasn’t necessarily very clear from the agreement the parties entered into.” Discussions were amicable, he said, and Food Lion amended its request. Since then, agreements have excluded inventory and rolling stock, Dees said. The county once discovered Rowan Power Company had removed a $25 million tower from its property tax listing, claiming pollution abatement, Dees said. The county appealed to the state and won, and the tower was assessed. The company then wanted the tower included in that year’s incentive grant, Dees said. “We held fast and prevailed,” he said. “They did not get their rebate on that discovered property.” Now, incentive agreements

‘Chicken Fat Song’ loops in memories ine was a childhood of horrors, and maybe the scariest thing I lived through was the “Chicken Fat Song.” Almost 50 years later, the song still haunts me. I will take many of its lines to the grave, especially the ever-present refrain, “Go, you chicken fat, go away! Go, you chicken fat, go!” Every time I hear parents complain about their children spending too many hours with video games, television or in front of computers, I think of the “Chicken Fat Song.” When nutritionists weigh in on childhood obesity and tell us that, as a people in general, we have become a tub of lard, I think, well, I will just “give that chicken fat back to the chicken” (and not be MARK again). chicken WINEKA Before “aerobics” became part of the American vocabulary, classrooms across the country in the 1960s were doing push-ups, sit-ups, toe-touches, trunk-twists, pogo springs, jumping jacks, bicycle rides and running in place to the “Chicken Fat Song.” Really. It was 6 minutes and 30 seconds of insidious torture, done to the musical commands of Robert Preston. (You can hear it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= EFofqe26t-4.) The worst part was that we exercised to the “Chicken Fat Song” over and over, and the words to the song became ingrained in our little noggins. To this day, we can’t shake them. I’ve always dreamed I would be a contestant on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” and the million-dollar question would be, “What was the song sent to every public school by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness in the early 1960s?” I would shout the “Chicken Fat Song!” at the top of my lungs, kiss Meredith Vieira passionately and march the audience out the door in Pied-Piper fashion singing, “Nuts to the flabby guys.” That’s a line from the song, by

Before crews can replace the aging bridge for Interstate 85 over the Yadkin River between Rowan and Davidson counties, they need a platform to work from. Crews with the joint-venture of Flatiron Constructors Inc. and The Lane Corp. must build a temporary

A school bus carrying five Henderson Independent High School students was involved in a collision Monday. Salisbury Police Officer R.A. Carlton said Hullen Walker was driving the bus north on Stanley Street about 9:15 a.m. when he failed to yield the right of way to a Mazda Tribute traveling west on Mitchell Avenue. The Mazda, driven by Anna Nora Short, ended up on an embankment at the corner of Stanley and Mitchell. “She swerved to avoid it and the bus tapped her in the rear end,” Carlton said. Carlton estimates about $1,800 worth of damage to the Mazda. He said the bus was scratched. No one was injured. Carlton said no cita-

Although Walker was not issued a citation, Foil said he was “sent for a drug test since we did receive a statement that he pulled out and did not see the oncoming car until he was out in the street.” Walker cannot operate a bus until the results are returned, likely in a few days. “Upon a negative test result, the driver may return to driving a school

bus,” Foil said. “If the test results are positive for drugs or alcohol, it is an automatic cancellation of their bus driver certification and they are terminated as a bus driver for the school system.” Carlton said he does not believe drugs or alcohol were involved.

CONCORD — Cabarrus County commissioners have given the goahead to a partnership with Kannapolis in its plan to finance up to $35 million for infrastructure improvements.

Commissioners approved a resolution supporting Kannapolis’ proposed financing using certificates of participation, commonly called COPS. The county would not be responsible for the debt, but starting in 2013 would use half of the property tax revenues collected in a special downtown district around the Research Campus for paying back the debt.

In return, the city will spend no more than $13.5 million on building a Cabarrus Health Alliance facility, slated for a plot of land to be obtained from Castle & Cooke, developer of the Research Campus. Commissioners debated the draft resolution and interlocal agreement at length. They haven’t had much time to consider the issue, which has been in discussion by commissioners and the Kannapolis City Council all month. Commissioners wanted to be sure that the county’s credit ratings would not be affected by participating in the interlocal agreement. The debt is being issued by Kannapolis, which should protect the county. Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg made the case that time was of the essence in the decision.

Two face trafficking allegations Man indicted on drug charges migration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Authorities said an undercover officer met Esquibel in Kannapolis to buy cocaine, and other officers moved in. More than 2 pounds of cocaine were found on the floorboard of Esquibel’s vehicle. Authorities said Esquibel is an illegal immigrant who has previously been deported as a

felon. Officers then went to Perez’s residence at 820 Timberwood Lane, finding more than four pounds of cocaine, the report said. Perez and Esquibel were held in the Rowan County jail under $1 million secured bonds each. Perez remains in jail. Esquibel is no longer listed as an inmate. Court dates have not been determined.

pen.” The $136 million project will widen nearly 3.5 miles of I-85 from four lanes to eight lanes between a point north of Long Ferry Road (Exit 81) in Rowan County to just north of the N.C. 150 interchange in Davidson County. It also includes replacing eight bridges with six new ones, as well as interchange work. Once the temporary work bridge is complete, it will be a half-mile long and 38 feet wide. Made of solid steel, it will weigh about 3 million pounds. Project Manager Adam Mathews estimates it will take two crews about five months to build the temporary bridge. Work will be ongoing day and night. “We’re starting on the south side of the Yadkin River and building one span of the temporary bridge at a time,” Mathews said. “Once we have the first section in place, we’ll use it to build the next section and so forth until we reach the other side of the river.” Crews will get help from a 230-ton crane currently sta-

we needed to build just one temporary work bridge.” The contractor chose this approach for several reasons. First, it saves time. Building a single temporary work bridge instead of two gives crews all the access they need to replace the Yadkin River bridge without the extra work. It also saves money. Building one temporary work bridge instead of two reduced the overall cost of the project by more than $1 million. Lastly, it is better for the environment. One temporary work bridge means a smaller footprint, which will reduce the affects on this environmentally sensitive area. Although the temporary work bridge will not be complete until April, people will not have to wait until late spring to see construction begin on the new Yadkin bridges. “We estimate our crews will make enough progress on the temporary work bridge in the next month and a half to start building the I85 northbound bridge,” Mathews said.

SONG FROM 3A the way. Meredith Wilson, creator of “The Music Man,” wrote the “Chicken Fat Song” for the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, circa 1961. So it made sense that Preston — famously, Professor Harold Hill in “The Music Man” — would sing it. The whole national physical fitness initiative had its roots with President Eisenhower, but a young President John F. Kennedy saw a way to exploit it to his advantage.

It’s the first of several cranes that will be used to build the new Yadkin River bridges, Mathews said. Design plans show the current bridge will be replaced with a pair of four-lane bridges — one carrying northbound traffic, the other carrying southbound I-85 traffic. Crews are building the temporary work bridge in the space between where the permanent bridges will eventually stand. The plan is different from the contractor’s original design concept, which called for replacing the Yadkin River bridge with a single bridge. To build it, Mathews’ team had planned to build two temporary work bridges — one on each side of where the new bridge would be. “The more we thought about it, the stronger we felt that there was a smarter, more efficient way to do it,” Mathews explained. “By tweaking the alignment and building two bridges instead of one, we created the space

When asked by the board to respond, Rowland said the county tax office doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the staff to implement that change, and it has set the values based on weighted averages of rents that farmers have agreed are representative.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has to have money in hand by the first of the year to take advantage of federal stimulus funds for projects. And the city still needs to reimburse NCRC developer Castle & Cooke for $6.2 million fronted for infrastructure improvements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; money that Commissioner Grace Mynatt, in her last session as a member of the board, called essentially a loan from that company to the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need to go ahead and make this decision and end this uncertainty,â&#x20AC;? Mynatt said. The COPS proposal also included $15 million for the Cabarrus Health Alliance building, which Kannapolis would hold as collateral for the 17-year life of the debt. After discussions, that amount was reduced to $13.5 million. That settled a discussion about keeping the health department building in Kannapolis or moving it to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old fairgrounds. Using that land would have reduced costs but would also have delayed the project. In 2007, commissioners made a new Cabarrus Health Alliance building a condition of county participation in what was to be a $168 million tax increment financing plan. Legg said any thought of moving the health department out of Kannapolis would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a non-starterâ&#x20AC;? for city council members. Mynatt and Commissioner Bob Carruth urged commissioners to keep the new building close to the Research Campus to foster connections between the two. Another reason Legg urged commissioners to take action was that bids for a new Cabarrus Health Alliance building are set to expire next month, and construction prices might go up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this volatile economic environment, we think we should not delay any longer,â&#x20AC;? Legg said. In the end, commissioners reduced the amount for the proposed building, and thus the size of the potential loan, by $1.5 million. Legg said that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application to have the financing approved by the N.C. Local Government Commission was on file in anticipation of the resolution being approved. Carruth said the new investment was part of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path to recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything this county needs, it's evidence that were moving forward and coming out of our economic doldrums,â&#x20AC;? Carruth said. The resolution passed on a 4-to-1 vote. Commissioner Coy Privette, in his last regular meeting as a sitting member, cast the dissenting vote. He said that the county had no business taking part in what was essentially a Kannapolis project. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk at 704-7974244.

Family of 5 poisoned by carbon monoxide FLAT ROCK (AP) — Authorities say a father and his four children had to go to the hospital after breathing in carbon monoxide from a generator running all night in the basement of their Flat Rock apartment. Blue Ridge Fire Department Chief Gary Brown told multiple media outlets that someone in the Henderson County home called 911 around 5 a.m. Monday and said they were losing consciousness and vomiting. Police went to check on the caller and found the man and his four children, ranging in age from 7 to 18. Brown says the family lost power on Sunday and had been running the generator since. Authorities say the carbon monoxide levels in the home were as high as their instruments can measure.

Man gets up to 40 years for murder RALEIGH (AP) — An Apex man has been sentenced to between 32 and 40 years in prison for his role in the murder of a high school classmate. Multiple media outlets report that 19-year-old Aadil Khan was sentenced Monday in Wake County Superior Court for participating in the 2008 slaying of Matthew Silliman. Silliman was found zipped into a sleeping bag, with his hands and feet bound with plastic zip ties and a bag over his head.

Ellmers gets Washington training as recount looms RALEIGH (AP) — Republican congressional hopeful Renee Ellmers is preparing for a job in Congress even as a recount looms in her race. Ellmers spokesman Al Lytton said Monday that she is in Washington as part of a freshman orientation lasting all week. The events put together by the Committee on House Administration include sessions on setting up a congressional office and legal issues related to service in Congress. Democratic Rep. Bob Etheridge trails Ellmers by a little less than 1,500 votes cast in the 2nd Congressional District race. Etheridge has requested a recount, which is expected to take place this week. Etheridge is a seven-term lawmaker who has previously won re-election with relative ease. Ellmers is a career nurse endorsed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Leading black political leader Motley dies CHARLOTTE (AP) — A pioneering black political leader in Charlotte has died. Long & Son Mortuary Service said Rowe Motley died Friday at age 84. Motley was the first black commissioner in Mecklenburg County, serving in the 1970s. He was also North Carolina’s first black committeeman to the Democratic National Committee. Motley also served as a state senator. Motley was born in Prattville, Ala., in 1926 and gradated from North Carolina A&T State University. He formed Motley Realty and Insurance in 1964 along with an exporting company and a research firm that studied radioactive materials. A funeral will be held Tuesday in Charlotte.

Outsourcing firm picks NC for data center site KINGS MOUNTAIN (AP) — A company specializing in managing the high-volume computer operations of other companies is the latest to pick the North Carolina foothills for a data center. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office said Monday that Infocrossing Inc. would build a data center in Kings Mountain, about 30 miles west of Charlotte. The $75 million facility is expected to employ fewer than 20 fulltime workers. Infocrossing is a subsidiary of Wipro Ltd., India’s third-largest software outsourcer. Social networking powerhouse Facebook, Google, and Apple have all picked sites less than 50 miles from Kings Mountain. Data centers are moving in because of generous state tax breaks and because the textile industry’s collapse left behind a surplus of electric capacity.

Head of North Carolina stimulus office leaving job RALEIGH (AP) — The man charged with overseeing North Carolina’s share of the federal stimulus program is leaving the job. Dempsey Benton spent his last day Monday at the Office of Economic Recovery and Investment. Benton said he planned on staying on the job about 18 months, and ac-

tually spent nearly 21 months on the job. The office staff of about 15 has shrunk in half as the program winds down. Benton said about 95 percent of the state’s $6 billion allotment has either been spent or is already dedicated to be spent. He said he’s pleased that there have been very few complaints of fraud or waste in the program. Benton is a former state Health and Human Services secretary. He said he’s not actively seeking another job.

Perdue says SPX to expand headquarters, add 180 jobs CHARLOTTE (AP) — Industrial products and services company SPX Corp. will build a new global headquarters in its North Carolina hometown, adding 180 jobs in Charlotte in the next five years. Gov. Beverly Perdue said Monday that SPX will invest $70 million in the project expected to begin in 2012. Spokesmen for the Fortune 500 company did not immediately return a call seeking comment. North Carolina will provide up to $4.5 million in targeted grants and tax breaks to SPX if it meets hiring and investment goals. The incentives are typically matched by incentives from city and county governments. SPX makes a variety of industrial products, ranging from cooling systems for power plants to food processing components.

DO YOU HAVE TOENAIL FUNGUS ON BIG TOE?

• In 1888, North Carolina gave J.W. Cannon grants to plan infrastructure around his Cannon Manufacturing Company, later known as Cannon Mills. • In 1936, in the wake of the Great Depression, Mississippi aggressively pursued grants for industry to aid the state’s ailing agriculture-based economy. The state passed Gov. Hugh White’s Mississippi Industrial Act, often refered to as a turning point for incentives and industry recruitment, which would lure manufacturing operations to the state.

If you answered yes, and between 18 to 70 years old, you may qualify to participate in a clinical research study using an investigational topical product for toenail fungus of the great toe.

Incentives aren’t new. Government has been giving industry cash, land and other perks for centuries in exchange for jobs and investment. A few examples: • In 1791, New Jersey incorporated founding father Alexander Hamilton’s private company as the nation’s first industrial park, providing tax exemptions, powers of condemnation and the ability to control a portion of the water supply. • By 1844, Pennsylvania had invested more than $100 million in the operations of private corporations, even placing government representatives on boards of the companies. The practice was discontinued due to frequent conflicts of interest.

deal, lowering the threshold and making it better for everyone,” said Carl Ford, chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. Offering companies incentives to locate or expand in Rowan County keeps the property tax rate down, Ford said. Commissioner Tina Hall, who leaves the board Dec. 6, said five “significant” companies complained to her that the county’s incentive policy isn’t fair because it excludes existing firms that can’t reach the $5 million threshold. Commissioner Jon Barber also advocates lowering the minimum investment level. Barber said he wants to update the county’s fouryear-old incentive program. “We need to dust off that policy,” Barber said. Both Barber and Commissioner Chad Mitchell said they want the policy tied to job creation. Commissioner Raymond Coltrane said he supports expanding incentives because “the value of a person having a job, whether that job is $35 per hour or $12 per hour, is pretty important.” Jim Sides, who returns to the Board of Commissioners Dec. 6, vows to never vote for a cash grant, the most common type of incentive. “Somebody needs to be

tives inside Salisbury city limits include Akzo Nobel, Food Lion, Henkel, Norandal and Walk-On Products. Cleveland will net $243,830 this year from Freightliner. China Grove will see revenue totaling $44,261 from companies with incentives, including R&L Carriers. South Salisbury, Cleveland, Locke, Woodleaf and Miller Ferry fire districts all include companies with incentives. While incentives could grow in Rowan County in coming years, opponent Jeannette Doran said she hears public outcry across the state and predicts a different trend. “I see incremental change,” said Doran, a senior staff attorney for the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law. “Governments are going to have to start listening to the public.” For 10 years, efforts to legislate incentives at the federal level have failed. But “the sentiment in Washington D.C. is changing,” Doran said. The same energy that swept Tea Party candidates into office this month “is bleeding over into these kinds of nitty gritty governance issues,” she said. Doran said she predicts a return to the fundamental principles of the constitution and a backlash against incentives.

Commissioners want to find similar creative ways to encourage job growth and investment. Possibilities include assistance with grant applications, help to facilitate financing and cooperation in providing infrastructure. The city of Salisbury recently approved a unique incentive program offering cash grants to companies that rehabilitate vacant buildings. With an eye on the depressed Long Street industrial corridor, Salisbury will reimburse up to $25,000 for eligible project costs. Companies must employ one person for every $5,000 of grant funds approved. Companies that agree to create at least four jobs and spend at least $20,000 on upgrades like new windows, roof repairs and ventilation could qualify for the new grant program. Salisbury and other municipalities and fire districts benefit from incentives, according to RowanWorks Economic Development. Companies that have received an incentive in the past decade will generate $1.2 million in revenue this year for Salisbury, a RowanWorks study shows. Businesses with incen-

Bucks starting to make their move

BY DR. WHIT GIBBONS Savannah River Ecology Lab

Q: I have lived in Alabama, Michigan, and South Carolina and have heard bullfrogs bellowing on summer nights in all of these places. I assumed they were native to each region, but I have heard recently that bullfrogs are a big environmental concern in some parts of the country. How did bullfrogs get to places where they do not belong, and has something changed to make them become a problem?

Outdoors report

What happens when frogs go where they shouldn’t?

A: Except for southern Florida, bullfrogs are native throughout the eastern United States into southern Canada. Within their native geographic range, where a diversity of their natural predators abounds, the population sizes of bullfrogs are constrained and kept under control. The problems you refer to are those that have occurred in the western states and other parts of the world--where bullfrogs are not a natural part of the ecosystem but have been introduced intentionally or accidentally. The voracious, predatory nature of bullfrogs is well known. They eat small snakes, birds, other frogs, and even baby alligators. Apparently they will gobble up anything that moves and will fit in their big mouth. When introduced into areas where they have no natural predators to keep them in check, bullfrogs have acquired a reputation as a major predator on native vertebrates, including some endangered species. Among the endangered species reportedly eaten by introduced bullfrogs in California and Arizona have been California tiger salamanders, Chiricahua leopard frogs, and California redlegged frogs. Although data are often difficult to document with certainty, bullfrogs have been implicated in regional declines in native amphibians and fish in other countries where they have been introduced, including Germany, Italy, and France. Bullfrogs also have the potential for spreading parasites and diseases to native amphibians that have no natural defenses against them, as well as competing with native frogs for food resources. One source of introduction of bullfrogs into parts of the country where they are not native is through the development of bullfrog farms. The big frogs, which can be up to eight inches in body length and a foot long with legs extended, are one source of frog legs, which some people consider a delicacy. Hence the reason for bullfrog farming. In the long run, bullfrog farming is generally unprofitable. As the Missouri Department of Conservation states in a document on pond management, “Successful frog farming is definitely more myth than reality.” The Missouri message was for would-be bullfrog farmers. But commercial frog farming is not a self-sustaining occupation anywhere in the world. When sources of commercial frog legs sold to restaurants and grocery stores are carefully checked, the majority are found to be from captures of wild frogs. Bullfrog farming has been attempted in areas outside of the bullfrog's natural range, resulting in the dispersal of individuals into the surrounding habitats. Bullfrogs are prolific breeders when any water is available, with females laying more than 20,000 eggs at a time. In contrast to many other frogs, the tadpoles of bullfrogs are typically resistant to predation by most fish, so that large numbers of juveniles are produced successfully from a single mating.

Volunteers trying to make Mountains-to-Sea Trail reality BY MANDY LOCKE The News & Observer of Raleigh

DURHAM (AP) — A Saturday’s crisp fall morning was perfect for hiking enthusiasts to forge their own trail. Along the Eno River in the Falls Lake nature preserve, about 50 men and women hacked through roots and kicked aside rocks to lay down another mile of trail. Inch by inch, year after year, volunteers have created hundreds of miles of foot paths as part of the state’s Mountains-to-Sea Trail, an ambitious effort that will eventually allow hikers to cover 1,000 miles across the width of North Carolina. Volunteers created one of the last two miles needed to complete a 60-mile stretch weaving through property around Falls Lake. Volunteers were confident they’d conquer that final mile by year’s end. It’s a significant moment after decades of toil. In 1977, nature enthusiasts envisioned a way to walk from the west’s Great Smokey Mountains to the east’s Outer Banks through a continuous series of nature trails. Across the state, volunteers have sliced through public and private lands to connect with existing greenways and trails, piecing together miles of walking path that one day will be a seamless route. Volunteers have been adding to the trail at Falls Lake since 1997. The end is finally in sight. “All of the sudden, we’re talking about a multiday hiking experience in the Triangle,” said Kate Dixon, executive director of the Friends of the Mountain-to-Sea Trail, which oversees the project. The effort at Falls Lake was not only a milestone in a movement, but also a chance for hikers to give back to a trail system they tromp throughout the year. “I walk it, so I thought it was about time I came and gave back,” said Ann Sparrow of Chapel Hill. Sparrow hikes regularly, meeting up with other hikers in the Triangle through groups organized on the Internet.

She hiked less than a half-mile before she slapped down a fire rake near an orange flag and scraped back leaves and roots to reveal a smooth layer of dirt. Not 20 feet away, Sparrow’s friend John Ganzi did battle with a stubborn root, slamming a cutter mattock down again and again. Ganzi said he tries to volunteer once a month, paying back for his enjoyment of the state’s network of public trails. Up ahead, a team of volunteers cut down dead trees; another pair began spraying white dots on trees to help hikers keep the trail in sight. About 20 miles away, a separate group picked up litter along a stretch of the Falls Lake trail washed up by recent storms. Volunteer work such as the Falls Lake mission fuels much of the Mountains-to-Sea effort. Last year alone, people donated 20,000 hours of time to blaze new paths. They built 16 miles of trail and maintained more than 400 miles, Dixon said. The value of that free labor is more than $200,000. “Trail systems across the country couldn’t exist without volunteers,” Dixon said. Still, some projects cost money. North Carolina’s trail system got a boost in recent years by collecting federal stimulus money directed to states to jump-start a stalled work force. Projects in the Triangle, such as the expansion of the Neuse River Greenway, were among those benefitting. At Falls Lake, another federal grant and an award from the city of Durham will fund the final piece of that 60-mile trail. Volunteers hope that a 100-foot steel bridge over Lick Creek will be completed within the next two years. The engineering plans are awaiting approval from the Army Corp of Engineers. Eleven-year-old DrewRegalski of Apex can now only imagine a completed route — perhaps it’ll be done before he’s grown. He hunched over 15 feet of undisturbed forest, kicking at weeds and rocks and scraping stringy roots, and forged a little closer to that dream.

Deer hunters across the area have been hitting the woods looking to bag a deer. With an extended muzzleloader season that opened a week earlier than usual and lasted two weeks (ending Friday in the central season), hunters have nailed several trophy class bucks. A quick inspection of the trophy board at Hill’s Minnow Farm, seems to indicate that the bucks are starting to move, looking for love as the rut is in the early stages. This trend should continue for the next week or so as the rut goes into overdrive. Overall, the extra week of muzzleloader season did not seem to bring in the large number of deer as some hunters had predicted. Also, archery hunting on Sunday has not seen a large number of deer being brought into local check in stations. After deer season when the overall statewide numbers are checked, an overall picture of the deer harvest should tell the real story. Gun deer season opened in the central season Saturday. Across our area, hunters are geared up and ready. Sales of equipment, stands and corn have been steady at local sporting goods stores as hunters pick up that last piece of equipment before opening day.

Hunting reminders Safety first Always use a fall restraint system when hunting from an elevated stand. Wear a blaze orange hat or vest Be sure of your intended target and what is beyond it Let a friend or relative know where you intend to hunt and when you plan to return. Several hunting accidents have already been reported across North Carolina, including tree stand falls and shooting deaths. Most hunting accidents can be prevented by using common sense and planning for the unexpected. Free hunter safety courses are offered statewide by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. A complete list for each county can be found at www.ncwildlife.org by clicking hunter education or you can call 919-707-0031 for information for your county. The next scheduled course for Rowan County is Dec. 4-5 at the Liberty Volunteer Fire Department on Stokes Ferry Road near Morgan Elementary School. Start time is 9 a.m. on Dec. 4.

Instructors honored

sonal time to teach and to be taught, since being updated in training and teaching techniques is a requirement for certification,” said the state hunting education coordinator, Capt. Chris Huebner with the Division of Law Enforcement of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. “We appreciate them and the support of their family and friends to do this. Their time and effort saves lives and saves the state money.” There are currently 772 hunter education instructors active in North Carolina. The hunter education courses are free and include information about hunter ethics and responsibility, conservation and wildlife management, firearms, survival and first aid, as well as specialty hunting and tree stand safety. The course is a minimum of 10 hours and is accepted in every state and province in North America. All first-time license buyers must successfully complete a hunter education course before they can hunt in North Carolina or purchase a hunting license.

Cape Fear River stocking To help boost the striped bass fishery in the Cape Fear River, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission conducted the first of two stockings of this popular game fish at the Castle Street boat landing in Wilmington on Monday. The first stocking consisted of approximately 10,000 striped bass, ranging in length from 4 to 6 inches. A second stocking of more than 100,000 fish will occur in early December. The fish were produced at the Commission’s Watha State Fish Hatchery in Pender County. The Commission has stocked striped bass of various sizes in the Cape Fear River on an annual basis since 1998; however, this is the first stocking of fish that were produced using brood fish collected exclusively from the Cape Fear River. All previous stockings were from brood fish collected from the Roanoke River. “The hope is that by stocking fish raised from parents collected from the Cape Fear, the fish will imprint to the system and return years later as adults to spawn,” said Keith Ashley, a fisheries biologist with the Commission. Striped bass migrate into the Cape Fear River from the Atlantic Ocean each spring. Beginning in 2003, the Commission initiated an annual survey of the Cape Fear River striped bass stock. The objective was to obtain up-to-date information on the abundance, distribution, length, age, and sex composition of striped bass collected from the Cape Fear River. Survey results continue to document low numbers of spawning adults and poor recruitment. In an attempt to promote recovery of the fishery, the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) and the Commission implemented a moratorium on recreational and commercial striped bass harvest in the Cape Fear River system in 2008. “We hope that the harvest moratorium, in conjunction with this new stocking program, will ultimately result in the restoration of this important fishery on the Cape Fear River,” Ashley said.

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission recently honored 12 hunter education instructors from across the state who had achieved 1,000 volunteer hours or more of service. Trophies and congratulations were presented during a Wildlife Commissioners’ meeting at the Wildlife Resources Commission headquarters at N.C. State University in Raleigh.

Ask Amy: Proposition for relations has best friend perplexed Dear Amy: One of my best friends is involved in a long-distance relationship. This past weekend his girlfriend came to visit us in our home city, and I thought things were going well. However, in an online conversation she invited me, with no hint of subtlety, to have sex with her. At first I was confused, but as the conversation continued I came to realize that she was serious! I promptly made it clear that I was not interested, and she hasn’t been in contact since. Nothing happened past the conversation, and so neither ASK of us is really AMY “guilty” of cheating. What troubles me is that my friend believes that he has found “the one.” He’s a real stand-up guy and one of my best friends, and all I want is what’s best for him, but I don’t know

if I should tell him about the conversation or just let it go. This has me wondering if she is being faithful on her end of the longdistance relationship. If I told him, I don’t think he wouldn’t believe me. He might get mad at me, but I don’t want his relationship to be screwed up by this.

your attention.” You don’t have to draw any conclusions about this girlfriend’s behavior, aside from her behavior toward you. Your friend may choose to stay with her; if so, that’s his choice and he will bear the consequences of his decision. You could expect your friend to be upset and angry. Try not to take his reaction personally, and do your best to move on, without further involvement in his relationship.

Dear Confused: You don’t have to worry about your friend believing you; presumably you have evidence of this online exchange, and I believe you should share the exchange with him. Friends tell one another the truth, and so you can prove yourself a good friend to this stand-up guy by saying, “I realize this is very hard to hear, but I care about you, first and foremost, and so I hope you will understand my motivations and realize how sorry I am for bringing this to

Dear Amy: Through a sports-related online meet-up group, I gave a virtual stranger a 65-mile ride to the destination, with the assumption that round-trip travel costs would be shared equally. On the website where this event was organized, she posted a notice saying she would share the travel expenses and toll costs. She rode back with another person and paid me nothing. Seeing as how she only traveled one way with me, would proper etiquette dictate she should’ve reim-

bursed me for half of the one-way cost and then done the same with the other party? — Stiffed Dear Stiffed: Some questions are answered by etiquette. And then there are times when a matter is more appropriately handled in smallclaims court. I’m a fan of Judge Judy, who I can visualize wagging her finger menacingly in your rider’s direction. If she had purchased a round-trip bus ticket for herself and then had gotten a ride home with a friend, the bus company wouldn’t refund half her fare; you had an agreement for a round trip and she broke the agreement. Contact her, asking for the agreed-upon reimbursement. And take this as a lesson — in the future, discuss your arrangement in advance, set a reasonable price and accept your half of the money before you depart. Dear Amy: In response to “Worried

Wife,” who has a close relative who has no job, little ambition and few prospects and is asking for money, how about making her work for her stipend? She is asking for money because someone has enabled her by giving her money her whole life. Stop the cycle and give her something to work for. My brother gave me three years’ worth of landscaping for the help I gave him. Now he has his own landscaping company! — Been There Dear Been There: Giving someone a job — rather than an open-ended stipend — is a great idea.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Decked out in more than 2 million Christmas lights, the sprawling Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center reopened Monday after historic Nashville flooding shuttered the cornerstone of the city’s tourism business for six months. The hotel, known for its indoor waterfalls and gardenfilled atriums, has 2,881 guest rooms and bills itself as the largest non-gaming hotel in the continental United States. In May, flooding from the nearby Cumberland River caused about $200 million in damage and left part of the resort in up to 10 feet of water. Ten people died in Nashville after it rained 13.5 inches over two days. Among the guests Monday were newlyweds Stephen and Mary Doty of Evansville, Ind., who set their wedding date so their honeymoon would coincide with the reopening. “We’ve walked all around and there’s no sign of damage,” said Stephen, a design and engineering worker for a communication company. Four groups or conventions were meeting Monday at the hotel. Rooms are sold out this weekend, and conventions are being booked as far ahead as 2020. Room rates start at $149 on weeknights and $209 on weekends, according to the resort website. “It’s elegant, soothing,” said Pam Bush of Jamestown, R.I., a curious tourist who visited the hotel but was staying elsewhere. “They’ve put a lot of thought into traffic flow and furnishings.” The resort opened in time for several special holiday events: an interactive ice sculpture; a dinner show featuring entertainer Louise Mandrell and the Rockettes at the nearby Grand Ole Opry House, which was also forced to close because of the flooding. The Grand Ole Opry House reopened Sept. 28. According to hotel figures, 1 million visitors (some of them local) experience at least a part of the resort’s holiday activities. Nearly 120 guest rooms were damaged along with the exhibit halls and its complex mechanical, electrical and power systems. Repairs cost up to $285 million. More than 1,700 employees were laid off, but rehiring began in October and the hotel is again fully staffed. The resort’s guest rooms rep-

STORE CLERK MURDERED

A young life snuffed out he local community has been shaken by two fatal shootings within a span of three days, but beyond the fact that each ended in death, there’s no similarity between the circumstances of these two events. One was a brutal, senseless slaying that took an innocent life. In the other, a police officer who felt threatened by an assailant defended himself. The latter shooting occurred early Saturday at a residence on Stokes Ferry Road as officers responded to a domestic disturbance call. Authorities say the shooting occurred when Rick Brown ignored officers’ orders to put down a baseball bat and instead moved toward them in a threatening manner. Officer J.R. Cable shot Brown, who police say had earlier attacked and injured his father with the baseball bat. The shooting will be reviewed by the State Bureau of Investigation, as are all cases in which officers use deadly force, and its conclusions probably won’t be known for a few weeks, at the earliest. But based on the initial accounts, Chief Rory Collins said it appeared the officers at the scene responded appropriately and “in a way that was necessary, given the circumstances.” There was nothing necessary or comprehensible about the shooting of Dee Rios de la Cruz, a 20-year-old who was slain by a gunman Friday morning at the Latin Mix store in Spencer. Her death is the kind of cold-blooded killing that provokes despair and anger among those left to mourn her and wonder how human life could be deemed so cheap and disposable. As of Monday evening, police had not made an arrest in the slaying, which they believe took place during an attempted robbery. Two shootings, two very different cases. When officers pin on their badges each day, they never know what they may have to confront. Danger is, unfortunately, an escapable part of their job, no matter how well trained they may be. There’s a lengthy list of officers who’ve perished in the line of duty. But coming face to face with a brazen killer shouldn’t be part of the job description for a 20-year-old store clerk. It’s likely that someone in the community has information about the Spencer slaying that could help police make an arrest. For the sake of a young life senselessly snuffed out, as well as for the sake of public safety, let’s hope that someone comes foward. An arrest and successful prosecution would provide at least a small measure of justice for a heinous crime and the memory of Dee Rios de la Cruz, who will be buried today. Perhaps even more importantly, it would put a murderer behind bars before another defenseless victim happens to cross his path.

Common sense

Economic realities New leaders face some stark alternatives he election is over and there have been shake-ups in both Washington and Raleigh. There will be many new faces in the U.S. Congress and the North Carolina General Assembly. Although I’m an economist and not a political analyst, I think it is obvious many voters were unhappy this year, and this unhappiness had a big impact on their votes. Polls showed voters’ displeasure focused around three areas: the economy and jobs, government spending and debt, and taxes. So what can our new leaders do about this discontent, especially in these three arMICHAEL eas? Unfortunately, there are some economic realities — or WALDEN constraints — that may either limit what may be done or present unpleasant alternatives for change. The Economy. While “officially” the recession is over — because we have seen an increase in the productive output of the economy since June 2009 — the pace of economic growth has been anemic. Job improvements have been agonizingly slow. A significant part of the decrease we’ve seen in the unemployment rate is simply a result of jobless workers dropping out of the labor force and, therefore, not being counted as unemployed. So the refrain heard in political campaigns was “jobs, jobs, jobs.” But what’s holding back job creation? Is it the fear of public debt and taxes? Is it lack of confidence by consumers? Or is it something to do with what the recession did to household finances? Although a case can be made for each, I and many other economists pick answer number three. The recession devastated household wealth, destroying $15 trillion of net asset value at its peak, and this wealth is just beginning to come back. Households entered the recession with record high levels of debt (supported by the record levels of wealth). However, with wealth down, households have been forced to pay down on debt and save more. What’s left out is household spending. Households won’t be able to spend like they used to until they get their debt situation back under control. Yet, since our economy is largely driven by household spending, frugal households translate into slow economic growth. Most economists think this process — called deleveraging — will just have to proceed, perhaps for another two to five years, and there’s very little government can do about it. One view is that the frugality displayed by households today is the counterbalance to the high rates of spending and borrowing done in previous decades.

Government spending and debt. It’s been the norm in recent decades for federal spending to exceed revenues and, therefore, for the national debt to increase. In fact, in only eight years since World War II has the federal government not needed to borrow to pay its bills. But the spending and borrowing accelerated in recent years. Indeed, since 2007, almost $4 trillion has been added to the national debt. However, most of this was due to the recession. Federal government tax revenues always fall and spending always rises during recessions. Tax revenues decline because businesses and households are hurting, and spending rises because programs that help unemployed and poor households always expand during bad times. Yet once recessions end, the government red ink narrows. Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office projects the annual red ink (the budget deficit) will shrink from $1.4 trillion this fiscal year to $900 billion next year and to $750 billion the year after. This happens because tax revenues improve when the economy grows, and special anti-recessionary spending, like the stimulus plan, ends. But we’ll still have a government spending and debt problem, just as we’ve had one for most of the last 50 years. However, the cause won’t be the recession; instead, it will come from demographic and other forces causing some government programs to expand — specifically the big three of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The problem this creates for elected officials is that these are popular programs, which help the elderly and the poor. Changing them will be extremely difficult. Taxes. One recommendation heard during the political campaigns is that reducing tax rates is a way of stimulating the economy. Economists have two qualifiers to offer for this plan. While reducing tax rates may motivate more private spending and job creation, if the reduced taxes mean lower spending on public goods valued by businesses — infrastructure would be a good example — then economic growth may stall. But some claim reducing tax rates ignites so much growth that tax revenues actually rise. Economists have thoroughly studied this claim and have concluded it only happens if tax rates are at a high level, generally above 60 percent. Otherwise, tax rate cuts reduce public revenue. The election is over and now governing begins. Will tackling and solving our economic problems be easy?

North Carolina’s real jobless rate

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got. — Art Buchwald

Moderately confused

Winston-Salem Journal

hen the newly elected Republican majority in the General Assembly looks around for something to do in January, its gaze need go no further than what is called the U6 index, a measure of joblessness in North Carolina that in many ways is far more realistic than the much better known "unemployment rate." The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the U6 every three months, averaging unemployment over the past 12 months and counting a lot of people left out of the traditional tally. The bad news for legislators is that the U6 says that 17.6 percent of the North Carolina adult population is jobless, not the 9.6 percent counted in the more traditional measure for September. The U6 counts victims of the recession who are left out of the better-known rate. These people may have exhausted their unemployment benefits, given up on looking for jobs or taken part-time work. The U6 says that there are 855,000 North Carolina unemployed while the traditional rate says 430,283. And the U6 shows that 42 percent of the unemployed have been so for six months or more. There's no doubt that this kind of joblessness and economic malaise contributed to

The U6 index says that 17.6 percent of the North Carolina adult population is jobless, not the 9.6 percent counted in the more traditional measure for September. the big Republican victories. GOP candidates said that they would work to restore jobs, and these numbers indicate that there is an enormous need for them to do so. As Republican legislators go about organizing their leadership team for 2011, however, there are disturbing indications that some of the leaders may not have gotten the message, may not have seen the enormity of the task that confronts them in these hundreds of thousands of unemployed. ... Turning an economy around is not easy, and there is only so much that a state government can do when a recession is international in scope. But that does not mean that the new legislature can take its eyes off the target that voters chose them to hit. The U6 clearly defines that target. It's the real unemployment rate.

For many years the neighbors of Meadowbrook community have shared the love of a big white cat named Playful. In times of grief or loss, Playful seemed to grace the yard of the neighbor who needed support and love. He was a loving pet who responded to being petted and rubbed. One neighbor took care that he had his rabies shots, and others provided food, shelter and love to him. On Saturday, Nov. 13, I returned home to hear a mournful “meow” and discovered Playful lying in my yard with a traumatic abdominal wound. The pain he was experiencing was evident. I don’t know if his injuries were inflicted by human or animal. If human, no punishment is severe enough for what you did. If animal, God takes care of his creatures. I feel God sometimes needs another pet and chooses special ones to be with him and all the good people in heaven. Thus, I feel Playful is guarding the gates of heaven and reuniting with old friends he’s known from Meadowbrook. Special thanks to the young lady who came from Animal Control to take Playful to be euthanized (I failed to get her name.) when all attempts to obtain veterinary care failed. Thanks to Elizabeth Smith, who came and was helpful and supportive to obtain resourceful aid for a friend. I appreciate Katherine Boger for her love and support, as Playful was a childhood friend of hers. (She’s my daughter as well.) I feel honored that Playful came to my yard to say goodbye, and I felt the good neighbors of Meadowbrook deserved to know where their friend had gone. May God bless us all. — Rachel Boger Salisbury

Inmate education Education is a constant subject of the news. We hear about receding scores, increased dropouts, teachers being underpaid and underqualified. This is a shame for our children, certainly, but other individuals share this problem — prison inmates. Also, it’s a fact that inmates are often under-educated before prison. While there, in the state of North Carolina, inmates have few opportunities to change that. GEDs are offered, but today that’s not enough. All know a college education is needed for inmates to return to society as productive citizens, not as repeat offenders. The state does offer courses through the UNC Outreach Program but only if inmates are within five years of release and infraction free. Inmates with life sentences don’t qualify. Surprisingly, even if inmates want to pay for courses themselves, they can’t. The state Department of Corrections won’t allow it. The reason: to protect inmates and their families from wasting money on unaccredited schools. Are they now “Big Brother,” dictating how inmates’ families invest their money? This is violating the state’s Constitution and is morally wrong. Refusing inmates opportunities to better themselves continues the pattern of deviance inside and outside prison. Is this the goal of the Department of Corrections? Repeat offenders mean more tax dollars drained from taxpayers, all to accomplish nothing. — Travis Jones Marion Correctional Institution

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an abrupt shift that’s likely to cement a dramatic change in the ways of Congress, the top Republican in the Senate on Monday fell into line behind demands by House leaders and tea party activists for a moratorium on pork-barrel projects known as “earmarks.” Earmarking is the longtime Washington practice in which lawmakers insert money for home-state projects like road and bridge work into spending bills. Critics say that peppering most spending bills with hundreds or even thousands of such projects creates a go-alongget-along mindset that ensures that Washington spending goes unchecked. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who has long defended the practice, said he’s now heeding the message that

Sheriff says 3 may have been killed; 13year-old girl rescued MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — Fearing the worst, in-

vestigators searched a lake for three missing people Monday after a teenage girl who disappeared along with them was rescued, bound and gagged, from the basement of a man’s home nearby. Sheriff David Barber conceded that 13-year-old Sarah Maynard’s mother, brother and a family friend may be dead. All four vanished last Wednesday from the girl’s home, which was found splattered with blood, police said. “We still would like to retain a hopeful attitude,” the sheriff said, “but we have to be realistic.” On Sunday, Sarah was rescued from the home of 30year-old ex-convict Matthew J. Hoffman, who was arrested and charged with her kidnapping. The sheriff would not discuss details of Sarah’s ordeal. “She is a very brave little girl,” Barber said. “Under the circumstances, a 13-year-old girl being held captive for four days by a total stranger ... I would call her the epitome of bravery.”

Baby photos from the ultimate edge — a black hole WASHINGTON (AP) — Astronomers may have lucked into the ultimate in cosmic baby pictures: a voracious black hole fresh from its violent birth. Scientists now believe the 1979 death of a star they viewed was no ordinary one. Its explosive death was big enough to cause a black hole to develop in its wake. They think it’s a black hole because they can observe something steadily consuming the gassy remnants of the exploded star. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb (LOHB) says that in the past 30 years since this star exploded, this baby black hole has eaten roughly equivalent of the Earth in mass. His pa-

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — It’s always cheaper to fly one way, even to Mars. Two scientists are suggesting that colonization of the red planet could happen faster and more economically if astronauts behaved like the first settlers to come to North America — not expecting to go home. “The main point is to get Mars exploration moving,” said Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a Washington State University professor who co-authored an article that seriously proposes what sounds like a preposterous idea. At least one moon-walking astronaut was not impressed.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook unveiled a new messaging platform Monday that takes aim at one of the Internet’s first applications, e-mail. Though CEO Mark Zuckerberg didn’t go as far as declaring e-mail dead, he sees the four-decade-old technology as secondary to more seamless, faster ways of communicating such as text messages and chats. In other words, Facebook is betting that today’s high school students are on to something. The new platform, which will be rolled out to users in the coming months, integrates cell phone texts, chats, e-mail and the existing Facebook messages. It seeks to bring together all these different forms of communication in one inbox, centered around the people sending it rather than the type of technology they use. Facebook will hand out @facebook.com e-mail addresses — mostly to make it easier to communicate with people who aren’t on Facebook.

Senate leader joins effort to stop adding pork-barrel projects

voters sent in midterm elections that swept Democrats from power in the House. He said he can’t accuse Democrats of ignoring the wishes of the American people and then do the same thing. McConnell’s move heads off a battle with conservative Republican senators who had signaled that they would force a vote Tuesday on banning the practice. That vote is now a formality. “Nearly every day that the Senate’s been in session for the past two years, I have come down to this spot and said that Democrats are ignoring the wishes of the American people,” McConnell said in a surprise announcement from the Senate floor. “When it comes to earmarks, I won’t be guilty of the same thing.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shortly after veteran Rep. Charles Rangel of New York walked out of his ethics trial in protest, a House panel began closed-door deliberations Monday on 13 counts of financial and alleged fundraising misconduct that could bring formal condemnation. Only recently one of the most powerful members of Congress, Rangel was reduced to pleading in vain for colleagues to give him time to raise money for a lawyer before taking up the charges. The 80-year-old congressman left even before they said no, and the rare proceeding — only the second for this type of hearing in two decades — went on without him. An ethics committee panel of four Democrats and four Republicans was sitting as a jury in the case late Monday. The official acting as prosecutor said the facts were so clear there was no need to call witnesses, and panel members agreed. If the panel members decide Rangel violated any House rules, the full committee will hold a hearing on how he should be punished. The most likely sanction would be a House vote deploring his conduct. Rangel, a 20-term congressman representing New York’s famed Harlem neighborhood, implored the ethics panel for further delay, saying that “50 years of public service is on the line.” But the panel basically decided that the 21⁄2 -year-old case had gone on long enough — and Congress had little time left to deal with it in the lame duck session that commenced Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a week before the Thanksgiving travel crush, federal air security officials were struggling to reassure rising numbers of fliers and airline workers outraged by new anti-terrorism screening procedures they consider invasive and harmful. Across the country, passengers simmered over being forced to choose scans by full-body image detectors or probing pat-downs. Top federal security officials said Monday that the procedures were safe and necessary sacrifices to ward off terror attacks. “It’s all about security,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. “It’s all about everybody recognizing their role.” Despite officials’ insistence that they had taken care to prepare the American flying public, the flurry of criticism from private citizens to airline pilots’ groups suggested that Napolitano and other federal officials had been caught off guard. At the San Diego airport, a software engineer posted an Internet blog item saying he had been ejected after being threatened with a fine and lawsuit for refusing a groin check after turning down a full-body scan. The passenger, John Tyner, said he told a federal Transportation Security Administration worker, “If you touch my junk, I’m gonna have you arrested.”

Police say building collapse in New Delhi kills 32 NEW DELHI (AP) — A four-story building collapsed in a congested neighborhood in New Delhi Monday, killing at least 32 people and injuring 60 others, a top police official said. Many more people were trapped under debris after the building on the Indian capital’s east side collapsed, said B.K. Gupta, New Delhi police commissioner. Local residents, who were the first to reach the scene of the accident, used their bare hands to scoop away mud and mortar and pull out survivors. Emergency efforts were hampered as fire engines found it difficult to navigate the narrow alleys of the residential neighborhood of Lalita Park. Residents helped carry the injured to vehicles and to transport them to nearby hospitals. Police, firefighters and locals tried to remove concrete slabs as hun-

dreds of people crowded around or peered down from rooftops of nearby buildings. New Delhi’s top elected official, Sheila Dikshit, who reached the site to oversee rescue operations, said at 30 people were still trapped under the rubble. She said it was not immediately possible to say what had caused the accident but promised to order an inquiry. Another local government official, A.K. Walia, told Press Trust of India news agency that this year’s unusually heavy monsoon rains could have weakened the foundation of the decades-old building. Poor construction material and inadequate foundations often are blamed for building collapses in India. In New Delhi, where land aSSoCiaTed preSS is at a premium, unscrupulous builders add additional indian rescue workers and onlookers search the rubble and gather at the scene of a building collapse in New delhi, india, floors to existing structures late Monday. police say at least 32 people are dead and 60 others are injured in the incident after a four-story building coloften flouting building laws. lapsed in a neighborhood in eastern New delhi.

High-rise apartment building fire in Shanghai leaves 49 dead Hong Kong broadcaster Phoenix TV that he and his wife were napping in their 23rd floor apartment when they smelled smoke. He said they climbed down the scaffolding four stories before being rescued by firefighters. An unidentified woman told Shanghai television her only option was to climb down the scaffolding. “If I jumped I would die, if I stayed (in the building) I would die,” she said. Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu, China’s top policeman, called Tuesday for an investigation into the cause of the fire. He said anyone responsible for the blaze would be punished by the law. Survivors were taken to nine Shanghai hospitals, and a doctor at Jing’an Central Hospital surnamed Zhang said more than 20 seriously hurt people had been admitted for treatment. Most of the

survivors had suffered asphyxia from the smoke fumes, another doctor said. Shanghai state television showed survivors at another hospital in the city, covered in thick blankets as they emerged from a high-pressure oxygen chamber. The state-run news website Eastday.com cited a construction worker surnamed Qian who escaped from the 28th story as saying crews were installing energy-saving insulation when the fire occurred. Xinhua quoted local residents as saying the building was built in the 1990s and housed mainly teachers from several schools in Jing’an District, many of them retirees. Shanghai, a city of 20 million and venue of the recently concluded World Expo, has seen a construction frenzy in recent years, ranging from high rises that dot its skyline to new subway lines, high-

ways and airport upgrades. But unsafe building work remains a chronic problem in China. Last year, a nearly finished 13-story apartment building in Shanghai collapsed, killing one worker. Investigations showed that excavated dirt piled next to the building may have caused the collapse.

SHANGHAI (AP) — Investigators searched Tuesday for the cause of a fire that engulfed a high-rise apartment building under renovation in China’s business center of Shanghai, killing 49 people and sending residents scrambling down scaffolding to escape. The official Xinhua news agency cited a witness saying the fire began when building materials caught alight. The blaze spread to scaffolding and then to the 28-story apartment block itself, which houses a number of retired teachers. The government said more than 100 fire trucks were called to battle the blaze, which was largely put out about four hours later. Firefighters could be seen taking bodies from the building, while survivors were rushed away in ambulances. Other survivors were housed overnight in a gym of a nearby retirement home. Xinhua said Tuesday morning that the death toll had risen to 49. It did not give an updated figure for the number of injured after earlier saying more than 90 were hurt. There were sad scenes at hospitals as relatives searched for their loved ones. At Jing’an hospital, the father of Wang Yinxing, a 30year-old woman who lived on the 22nd floor of the building, searched a list of survivors at the hospital but could not find his daughter’s name. “She called her husband and said: ‘It’s on fire!

Avery inks with Radford BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Jon C. LaKeY/SALISBURY POST

West Rowan guard Ayana Avery sits in front of, from right: her father, Stuart, her brother, Keshun, her mother, Dorothy, and her coach, Erich Epps.

Standing of rivals reversed

MOUNT ULLA — When she was 5 years old, West Rowan’s Ayana Avery rarely went anywhere without a basketball tucked under her arm. Stuart Avery was taking his talented daughter to the YMCA and to the Cleveland courts to shoot buckets by the time she was 6. She still bounced the ball with both hands simultaneously, but she was filling it up from 15 feet. Stuart next taught her the art of dribbling, and she started playing head-to-head with the boys. “The boys didn’t let her get away with much,” Stuart said. “When Ayana was 8, she started making 3s. When she was 8 or 9, that’s when she

started crossing them up.” The swishing 3 from the volleyball line and the wicked crossover are still part of Avery’s game, and she has developed into one the greatest scorers Rowan County has produced. Arguably, she has the best right-handed floater anyone in the county — male or female — has ever perfected. She scored 42 points against a good North Iredell team late last season, and about 20 came on those banked-in floaters. Her left hand isn’t weak, it’s just not as strong as her right. “If they ever stop the right-handed shot, then I’ll show I can go left,” Avery said with a laugh. Avery signed with Radford’s Highlanders

last week. She enjoyed a party, complete with Hershey’s cake and pizza, with teammates and family at the school on Monday. Avery joins Salisbury’s Ashia Holmes — a high school adversary and Carolina Elite AAU teammate — in Radford’s recruiting class. Radford is a Virginia school that competes in the Division I Big South Conference with schools such as Winthrop, UNC Asheville, Liberty, Coastal Carolina, High Point and GardnerWebb. “Ayana got a lot of good summer exposure with her AAU team,” West Rowan coach Erich Epps said.

PREP FOOTBALL

BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

RALEIGH — For the past two seasons, N.C. State has been a step or two behind North Carolina heading into their rivalry game. Yet the Wolfpack beat the Tar Heels each time. Now N.C. State has to prove it can win when the roles are reversed. This time, N.C. State is on course to win the Atlantic Division and reach the ACC championship game. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels are the ones playing through adversity as they try to improve their bowl standing. “It’s definitely been different from years past,” North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates said Monday. “We’re going YATES to do whatever we can to win no matter what the situation is. Hopefully the outcome will be flip-flopped, too.” N.C. State (7-3, 4-2 ACC) has won all three meetings since Tom O’Brien took over in Raleigh and Butch Davis arrived in Chapel Hill. The Wolfpack can one-up the Tar Heels (6-4, 3-3) in another regard by beating them Saturday, then winning at Maryland to close the regular season. That would make N.C. State the first of the two rivals to reach the league title game. “There’s not any more on the line than any time we play North Carolina,” O’Brien said. “It’s a game that’s very special and very important to our O’BRIEN school. ... There’s no added significance one way or another. Now the bonus is if we win, we keep going.” O’Brien has proven he can keep his team focused going into the emotional rivalry game. His team had the better record only once — the first meeting in 2007 — yet has played some of its best football in this game while Davis’ Tar Heels haven’t. Two seasons ago, N.C. State was fighting to become bowl eligible while the Tar Heels were ranked 25th nationally. The Wolfpack won that one 41-10 in Kenan Stadium, which was practically empty by the time the clock expired.

KANNAPOLIS — When A.L. Brown right guard Sheldon Saddler learned he’d been selected for the Shrine Bowl earlier this month, 276 pounds of manchild started bouncing around on the practice field. RILEY “The person who told me I was on the team was (teammate) Travis Riley because Travis finds stuff out before anyone else,” Saddler said. “I got very excited at first, but then you just start to feel really honored. Once you look at that

Shrine Bowl list, you start realizing who’s not on there. “(Carson running back) Shaun Warren’s not on there, and (Hickory Ridge’s) Danny Book and Brian Baltimore aren’t on there, and they were great at the combine. I made up my mind right then to represent for those guys who deserved to be on there and didWARREN n’t get it.” The player Saddler originally was most determined to represent for was Riley. But in a surprise announcement, he has been named to the team as an injury replacement.

Carolina players upset about injury to Clausen BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Just when rookie Jimmy Clausen and the Carolina offense finally showed some spark, albeit in another loss, the Panthers were hit with more bad news as Clausen’s status for next week is uncertain because of a concussion. The Panthers were seething Monday over the play that may have gotten Clausen hurt. They claim a couple of Tampa Bay players recklessly dove into the pile as Clausen was stuffed shy of the goal line on fourth down on Carolina’s final offensive play Sunday in the Buccaneers’ 31-16 win. Receiver Steve Smith said Aqib Talib and Sean Jones “went head first into Jimmy.” Replays showed Talib appeared to hit Clausen with a helmet-to-helmet hit. Smith then shoved Talib and was given a 15-yard penalty. “Despite what people might think, actually I am a team player and I’ll do it again, and I’ll do it 10 out of 10 times, 100 out of 100 times,” Smith

said of the penalty. “Guys going in there, he goes head first in there, so I’m going to follow.” Coach John Fox declined to comment Monday for fear of being fined but did say they CLAUSEN would send in a tape of the play to the league office. Fox also said he wasn’t certain Clausen sustained the concussion on that play but believed that’s when it happened. Fox said Clausen, who completed 16 of 29 passes for 191 yards, no touchdowns and no turnovers, didn’t show signs of a concussion until after the game. Clausen attended meetings Monday but was not made available to reporters. “I talked to him after the game and he had a little headache,” backup quarterback Tony Pike said. “He said he was trying to watch tape (Sunday night) and the headache got a little worse.” It could leave Carolina (1-8) in an

even bigger predicament than a week earlier, when Clausen was promoted to starter after Matt Moore’s season-ending right shoulder injury. If Clausen can’t go Sunday against Baltimore, and Fox would only says he’s “day to day,” the Panthers would turn the rookie Pike, a sixth-round pick who has thrown 12 passes this season. “Always got to be ready,” Pike said. Behind Pike is another rookie, Armanti Edwards, who played quarterback at Appalachian State but was converted to receiver when he was drafted in the third round. He didn’t take snaps at QB for Carolina until last week, when he ran the scout team. The Panthers signed Brian St. Pierre, who has thrown five passes in his NFL career, to the practice squad Friday. Fox wouldn’t say if they’d try to sign another QB. “We had Brian St. Pierre around last week, just to have a third quarterback in the building,” Fox said. “I think it was helpful as far as getting

acclimated to our offense, but we’ll just assess that day to day.” It’s been that kind of season for the Panthers, who are now tied for Buffalo for the worst record in the league. Clausen’s injury spoiled his best performance in four starts, all losses. While the Panthers scored just one touchdown — they have nine this season — they moved the ball better. The second-round pick from Notre Dame avoided major mistakes and looked more poised in the pocket. “I thought he made some good third down decisions,” Fox said of Clausen. “We had some mishaps early in the first half where we were maybe not quite as clean as we needed to be and had to use some timeouts. But all in all I thought he performed pretty well.” Clausen was also helped by fourth-string running back Mike Goodson, who rushed for 100 yards in Carolina’s best performance on the ground this season amid numerous injuries. Still, it wasn’t enough to lead Car-

Eagles embarrass Redskins tract extension with $40 million guaranteed. It was Washington’s first game since Mike Shanahan benched McNabb in the final two minutes of a loss to the Detroit. McNabb received a standing ovation when he was introduced with the starters, but most of those fans had left by halftime on a rainy night. McNabb finished 17 for 31 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and three picks, nearly all of the yards coming after the Redskins had dug themselves a five-touchdown hole. Dimitri Patterson intercepted McNabb twice, returning one of them 40 yards for a TD in the third quarter. McNabb said the contract didn’t help in dealing with the loss. “At this point, I’m angry,” he said. The 45 first-half points allowed by the Redskins tied a franchise record, and the 59 total points were the most allowed by a Shanahancoached team.

Md. — Michael Eagles 59 Vick, not Redskins 28 D o n o v a n McNabb, played like a $78 million quarterback, accounting for six touchdowns all by himself. And his Philadelphia Eagles marched down the field in one big chunk after another, doing enough times to put new entries in the various record books. On a day the Washington Redskins hoped to celebrate McNabb’s new contract and set aside the swirl of distractions from his benching two weeks earlier, Vick and the Eagles stormed the party and thoroughly embarrassed their NFC East rivals 59-28 on Monday. The Eagles said they were motivated by what McNabb said after the Redskins beat Philadelphia 17-12 last month. McNabb, speaking of the offseason trade that sent him to Washington, said at the time: “Everybody makes mistakes in their lifetime, and they made one last year.” “We got fired up,” Eagles center Mike McGlynn said. “Donovan had said some things after they beat up that fired us up, saying how they made a terrible decision and everybody makes mistakes. I think we’re happy with where we are right now.” McGlynn also blamed Redskins safety LaRon Landry for a pregame skirmish. McGlynn also said he was spit on by Landry twice during the game. “That really fired us all up, and we really put the afterburners on,” McGlynn said. “It’s good to come out and score 60 points almost. We all want to play the game with all the respect in the world. When people come out and disrespect it like that, I think you’ve got to be more respectful of the game. That’s just a terrible thing. I think we just looked at it as ‘Hey, let’s keep pouring it on.’ ” The Eagles scored on an 88-yard pass from Vick to DeSean Jackson on the first play from scrimmage and led 35-0 after the first play of the second quarter. Vick completed his first 10 passes and finished 20 for 28 LANDOVER,

for 333 yards with four touchdowns. He also ran eight times for 80 yards and two scores, moving past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback. The Eagles set team records for total yards in a game (592), points in a half (45) and had the biggest lead after the first quarter for any NFL road team (28-0) since at least 1950. Vick became the first player in NFL history with at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in a game. He hasn’t thrown an interception or lost a fumble this season. More practically, the win moved Philadelphia (6-3) into a first-place tie with the New York Giants in the division, with both teams two games ahead of the Redskins (4-5). A few hours before kickoff, the Redskins signed McNabb to a five-year, $78 million con-

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Coach Urban Meyer expects to get Florida back to the “elite level,” and he plans to have offensive coordinator Steve Addazio along for the rebuilding project. Meyer said Monday he has no plans to fire or demote Addazio, whose lackluster offense and underachieving offensive line are receiving the brunt of the blame for the program’s first three-game losing streak at home in more than two decades. “I don't think that will happen,” Meyer said. “I’m not into blame, I’m not into excuses. We’re into solutions.” Meyer said John Brantley — who has three touchdown passes and seven interceptions the last seven games — will start Saturday against Appalachian State. Meyer did say he regretted not using backups Trey Burton and Jordan Reed more in the loss to South Carolina. GEORGIA ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is listed as day to day after

suffering a bruised knee and a bruised sternum in a 49-31 loss at No. 2 Auburn. VIRGINIA CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia coach Mike London says starting cornerback Ras-I Dowling will miss the rest of the season after fracturing his left ankle. TEXAS AUSTIN, Texas — Texas sophomore running back Tre’ Newton, son of Nate Newton, announced he is giving up football after several concussions over his college and high school careers. WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE — Injured running back John Clay should get limited practice time this week, though his availability for Saturday’s game at Michigan isn’t known. WASHINGTON SEATTLE — Jake Locker gets one more day to convince Washington’s medical staff that he’s healthy enough to take the field with a broken rib in his final home game. A final decision on Locker’s availability for Thursday night’s game against UCLA will be coming today.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City coach Todd Haley apologized Monday for refusing to shake hands with Denver coach Josh McDaniels after the Chiefs’ blowout loss the day before. Haley made a single comment to McDaniels as the Denver coach held out his hand after the Broncos’ 49-29 victory in Denver. Haley pointed his finger at him, turned and stomped away without shaking. “I do believe in doing what’s right, and that was not right,” Haley said. “Probably let the emotions of the situation get me too much.” Audio of the brief exchange between the two was provided to The AP by WDAF-TV in Kansas City. Haley can be heard saying, “There’s a lot of (expletive) being talked about you.” DOLPHINS DAVIE, Fla. — Chad Pennington’s latest shoulder injury has ended his season, but coach Tony Sparano says Chad Henne (knee) might be available for Thursday’s game against Chicago. The Dolphins signed Patrick Ramsey on Monday. Third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen is the most likely starter after finishing the win over Tennessee. JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery says an MRI exam reveals he has a “slight” groin tear and his status for the next game is uncertain. BILLS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Running back C.J. Spiller and defensive end Spencer Johnson likely won’t play against Cincinnati due to hamstring injuries. Shawne Merriman is also expected to miss at least another week of practice with a strained Achilles’ tendon. VIKINGS EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brad Childress says Brett Favre is “sore” but has no plans to get an MRI on his throwing shoulder.

olina to its second win, with a leaky defense to blame. The Panthers gave up 421 yards, including 186 on the ground. Two weeks ago, the Panthers were ranked fourth in the league in total defense. They’ve dropped to 14th after allowing 829 yards in two weeks to New Orleans and Tampa Bay. “The opponent has a little something to do with it,” Fox said. Now the Panthers have uncertainty again at QB — and at receiver and the offensive line. Left guard Travelle Wharton was knocked out of Sunday’s game with what Fox called turf toe and was in a protective boot Monday. Wharton said he had “no idea” if he’d be able to play Sunday. No. 3 receiver Brandon LaFell also left with a concussion. But despite all the losses and injuries, the Panthers claim they haven’t quit. And Smith’s aggressive reaction on the final offensive play Sunday may prove that. “I don’t see really a way I can comment on that, other than it shows a lot about Steve to take care of his teammate,” Fox said.

UNC’s McAdoo, Ramsay ruled permanently ineligible Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — The NCAA has ruled North C a r o l i n a defensive end Michael McAdoo and fullback Devon Ramsay permanently ineligible. In a news release Monday evening, the school said it would appeal the ruling, though the players will remain ineligible until the appeal

ply do not support permanent ineligibility,” athletic director Dick Baddour said in a statement. “We will aggressively appeal and are hopeful the reinstatement committee will reach the same conclusion.” The school didn’t specify a MCADOO RAMSAY reason for the rulings, though privacy laws would prevent it process is complete. from discussing any player’s “While we respect the deci- involvement in the academic sion, the facts of the cases sim- review. Team spokesman

Kevin Best declined to comment Monday night when asked about the specific violations for each player, citing federal privacy laws. McAdoo and Ramsay were the last players awaiting word on their status amid the NCAA investigation into the program. The NCAA initially focused on agent-related benefits but later expanded the probe to include possible academic vi-

olations involving a tutor. McAdoo was one of 13 players who missed the opener against LSU and hadn’t played this season. Ramsay played four games before the school decided to hold him out. The school said the NCAA won’t require the Tar Heels to forfeit either of the two wins in which Ramsay played. McAdoo is the seventh player to miss the entire sea-

son due to the investigation, joining defensive tackle Marvin Austin, defensive end Robert Quinn, receiver Greg Little, cornerback Charles Brown, and safeties Brian Gupton and Jonathan Smith. Five of the 13 players who missed the LSU game have returned to game action. Tailback Ryan Houston was cleared to return after five games but plans to redshirt.

RIVALS

AVERY

FROM 1B

Last year, UNC came to Raleigh ranked 23rd and flirting with its first nine win season since the Mack Brown era. Injury-ravaged N.C. State was headed to a bowl-less postseason. N.C. State won 28-27. While O’Brien has generally embraced the added importance of the rivalry, Davis has been careful not to overplay it in past years. “Coach Davis doesn’t really put one team above the other, and it’s obvious those guys kind of have us circled all y e a r , ” UNC safety Deunta Williams WILLIAMS s a i d . “Maybe it’s not like that this year, I don’t know. ... But when we step on the field, I think the players have to take it more personal.” While Russell Wilson has led the Wolfpack to what is already O’Brien’s winningest season in Raleigh, the Tar Heels have played through the distraction of an ongoing NCAA investigation. The Tar Heels are also hindered by injuries, leaving them with a short-handed secondary and a revolving door of running backs. Of course, N.C. State’s players remember how things turned out last year when the teams met in similar situations. “If you look at that, you may think they’re not going to show up to play or they may not be ready to play,” N.C. State fullback Taylor Gentry said. “And every game, you’ve got to show up and be ready to go no matter if they’re a bad team or a good team or have injuries or have players missing.”

“I think it’s a great choice. Radford is up-tempo, which fits her, and she should have a chance to play early against a really nice schedule. They play some ACC schools.” The 5-foot-5 Avery’s scoring outbursts perked the interest of Clemson last season before the Tigers made a coaching change. It’s possible bigger offers may have come this spring, but that would have been rolling the dice. She’s taking the sure thing, and it’s a weight off her shoulders — and her family’s. Radford was 6-22 last season, but help is on the way. “I just liked it up there,” Avery said. “The school’s nice, the coaches are nice, and Ashia will be there. Plus, they’re red. I like red.” In light blue, Avery has been a pain for opposing coaches for three seasons. She’s scored in the 40s three times, including her school-record outing against North Iredell. She poured in 41 against Carson last season and bombed in 40 against North Rowan. Avery also has scored in the 30s seven times and been in the 20s an amazing 25 times. She brings deep 3-point range to the court as well as enough quickness to drive and score on the move when defenders get in her face. Avery has been worth 18.9 points a night to the Falcons since she first walked on the floor as a varsity freshman. “Ayana and I started here together,” Epps said. “She’s a good shooter and a great scorer with that floater. We’ve had good teams but not the great teams like they used to have, so she’s had to do a lot of scoring and leading for us. We’ll ask her to do more rebounding this year.” All-county and All-North Piedmont Conference for three straight seasons, Avery scored 612 points and averaged 23.5 a game as a junior. Both numbers ranked second in school history to the stats Wendy Hampton put up in 1994-95 before heading to Florida State. Avery has accounted for 1,476 career points and already ranks fourth in school history. Ahead of her are Andrea Grissett (1,539), Wendy Hampton (1,764) and Hillary Hampton (1,814). “We’ve just got a few upperclassmen and about 50,000 young girls this year, but I’d like to win championships,” Avery said. “I’d like to break the school scoring record, maybe score 2,000 points.” Those things could happen. If they do, there probably will be a space on the wall outside the West gym for her retired No. 5 jersey. “The East-West Game, the North-South Game, the All-State team — those are all realistic goals for Ayana this season,” Epps said. “She’s special. She’s the first Division I girl I’ve coached here, so this signing is a very big deal for me.” It’s an even bigger deal for Stuart and Dorothy Avery, who saw a signing party coming when Ayana was 5 years old. “She’s had the basketball dream for a long time, and she’s kept working for it and kept her grades up,” Dorothy said. “She’s taken the dream all the way, and we’re very proud of her.”

WONDERS FROM 1B An early North Carolina commitment who rushed for 1,923 yards and scored 34 TDs as a junior, Riley appeared to be a Shrine Bowl lock heading into this season. A muscular 205 pounds, he was a fine blocker and receiver as well as a ballcarrier. But Riley went down opening night at Statesville with two partially torn knee ligaments and a fractured leg bone. His season appeared over, and it also appeared North Carolina had lost one of its brightest stars. While Saddler grunted, pushed and sweated on the practice field and Friday nights, the soundtrack for most of Riley’s rehab-heavy season was the whir of an exercise bike and the clang of metal weights. Riley vowed all along he’d play again, and he returned to the field on Oct. 29, senior night against Northwest Cabarrus. That was about a week before the Shrine Bowl team was announced. He was so sore after that first game back, he didn’t know if he’d be allowed to suit up against Concord until the morning of the game. But he rushed for 153 yards and two TDs against the Spiders. Riley carried 17 times for 96 yards in his most recent action, a 21-18 playoff win against Hickory Ridge on Friday. Those aren’t K.P. Parks or Warren numbers, but they’re solid numbers and a remarkable workload for a guy who was on crutches not long ago. A.L. Brown head coach Ron Massey called Riley into his office last Friday and gave him a piece of good news. He was heading to the Shrine Bowl after all. Riley had been chosen as the replacement for Asheville’s Jeoffrey

DAviD LivENgOOD/SALISBURY POST

A.L. Brown’s Keeon Johnson tries to make a one-handed catch against Hickory Ridge’s Kyle Temple. Pagan. A defensive end headed to Florida, Pagan hurt a knee in Asheville’s final regular season game. “They explained to me I was one of their first choices for running back after the Shrine Bowl combines,” Riley said. “The Shrine Bowl is a great honor, a great addition to the season, especially after all the adversity I got through. “After the injury, the Shrine Bowl was never even on my mind. Through all the rehab, I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to start for Brown, much less play in the Shrine Bowl. My only thought was I wanted to do everything I could

do to get back to try to help out my team.” A.L. Brown strength and conditioning coach Todd Hagler understands people around the state may have been puzzled by Riley’s selection as a replacement. Obviously, he’s not going to have comparable numbers to backs who played all season. Warren, who grew up with many of the Wonders, has stats as good as anyone in the country. “I know that it’s a very tough thing to pick a Shrine Bowl team with so many outstanding players,” Hagler said. “Shaun Warren’s a great kid, and I’m sure (Salisbury’s) Romar Morris is a great

kid, and I truly can feel their pain. “At the same time, I’m very happy for Travis. There is no better person, and no one deserves this honor more. I can’t imagine anyone’s worked any harder than he has this season just to be on a football field.” The best part of going to the game for Riley is he’ll have Saddler opening holes for him. Saddler was surprised but not completely shocked at his own Shrine Bowl selection. He knew he and West guard Charles Holloway, who was also picked for the team, had been combine standouts.

“Charles is a great player — strong and he can really move his feet — and we both beat a lot of the bigger-name dudes in the one-onones at the combine,” Saddler said. Saddler is the strongest Wonder, he’s a leader and he’s versatile. He opened this season at tackle before moving to guard out of necessity. But guard is his natural position. It’s where he worked out at the Shrine Bowl combines, and it’s where he’ll play on the next level. “Our first game at Statesville, we were having a lot of trouble blocking people inside, so we moved Sheldon from tackle to guard,” Hagler said. “He could’ve said, ‘Ah, Coach, I’ve been playing tackle the whole preseason,’ but he’s always been willing to do whatever’s best for the team. He embraced the move.” Brown’s offensive line, very banged up early, got healthier as the season progressed. The running game has churned out 200-plus yards each of the past three weeks — against solid opposition. Saddler plans to visit North Carolina Central on Saturday, and he’s also being recruited by North Carolina A&T. The week of Shrine Bowl practices, with lots of D-I and FCS coaches in attendance, could open more doors. “I’m looking forward to the Shrine Bowl, and there’s no one else in the world I’d rather be going with than Travis Riley,” Saddler said. “A lot of people don’t understand what he’s been through.” Riley is reminded of exactly what he’s accomplished every Saturday morning when he gets up hurting, sore, barely able to crawl out of bed. “I get very good treatment from our trainer all week, and by Friday nights I feel very close to being back to 100 percent,” he said. “But on Saturday mornings, that’s when I know I’m still far away.”

CHARLOTTE — Gerald Wallace scored 26 points, set a franchise record with 17 free throws made and had a key steal late as the Charlotte Bobcats rallied to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-110 on Monday. The Bobcats, who at 0-4 entered as the NBA’s only winless team at home, appeared finished when they trailed 107-99 with 2:08 left. But Wallace and Stephen Jackson, who also scored 26 points, led Charlotte’s comeback. “This team needed to step up and make big plays late and be rewarded for it,” coach Larry Brown said. Wallace’s two free throws with 31.6 seconds left put Charlotte ahead to stay. Wesley Johnson missed two free throws with 3.5 seconds and Minnesota trailing 112-110. Michael Beasley scored 28 points but had two key turnovers in the closing minutes. Kevin Love had 20 points and nine rebounds, returning to the game late after a scary fall. It was a much-needed win for Charlotte, with owner Michael Jordan squirming in his courtside seat in the frantic final minute before his top players came through. “It feels good to finally get over the hump,” said Wallace Wallace didn’t get his first field goal until midway through the third quarter but hit 17-of-19 free throws.

The first poll of college basketball’s regular season looks a lot like the preseason Top 25. Duke was again a runaway No. 1 on Monday, receiving 58 first-place votes, three more than it had in The Associated Press’ preseason rankings. The same teams were in the poll, with eight schools switching places. No. 2 Michigan State received the other seven first-place votes, and North Carolina is eighth in the poll. No. 7 Kansas 79, Valpo 44 LAWRENCE, Kan. — Twin brothers Marcus Morris and Markieff Morris each had double-doubles and Kansas romped to its 61st consecutive home victory. It can tie its school record at home Friday night against North Texas. No. 20 G’town 69, Tulane 53 WASHINGTON — Austin Freeman had 23 points as Georgetown built a big lead. Oklahoma 71, N.C. Central 63 NORMAN, Okla. — Andrew Fitzgerald scored 22 points and Steven Pledger hit the tying 3-pointer to force overtime as Oklahoma rallied to beat N.C. Central. The Eagles (1-1) led for the entire second half until Pledger connected from the right wing with 15.2 seconds left to tie the game at 58. Barry Honore blocked C.J. Wilkerson’s driving shot for the tie in the final seconds, and the Sooners (2-0) never trailed in overtime after Nick Thompson’s two layups to start the extra period. N.C. Central was trying to snap a 40-game losing streak on the road. Landon Clement hit six 3-pointers and scored 22 points to lead the Eagles. Kennesaw St 80, Ga. Tech 63 KENNESAW, Ga. — Spencer Dixon had 27 points and Kennesaw State built a 20-point lead in the first half. Iman Shumpert scored 20 points to lead Tech (1-1). It cut the deficit to 54-49, but the Owls pulled away as Dixon had 18 points after the break. KSU led 36-16 with five minutes left in the first half. Clemson 78, Wofford 70 CLEMSON, S.C. — Jerai Grant led a balanced attack with 13 points and six rebounds. Demontez Stitt added 12 points for the Tigers (2-0). Virginia 74, SC-Upstate 54 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Billy Baron scored nine of his 14 points during a 25-6 second-half run, and Mike Scott led Virginia with 19 points and 12 rebounds. East Carolina 76, Campbell 63 GREENVILLE — Jontae Sherrod scored 21 points to lead East Carolina (2-0).

WINSTON-SALEM — Wake Forest’s Wake 63 i m p r e s Hampton 56 s i o n a b l e freshmen couldn’t afford a second straight early loss to a lowmajor program. Thanks to one of those newcomers and a timely defensive stand, the Demon Deacons avoided it. Travis McKie scored 21 points and Wake Forest held on to beat Hampton 63-56 on Monday in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off. C.J. Harris added 13 points for the Demon Deacons (1-1). They overcame 19 turnovers and went nearly eight minutes between field goals in the second half. Still, they dodged a second straight loss and gave new coach Jeff Bzdelik his first victory at the school. “We’re a very young team, kind of learning as we go,” McKie said. “To get this win, it was a tough one, but it was great to get it under our belt.” Especially after how McKie and the other four freshmen on the roster started their college careers: with a shocking 10-point loss to Stetson of the Atlantic Sun three nights earlier in Bzdelik’s debut. “We had a clunker the other day, but the sun came up

and we move on,” Bzdelik said. “It’s just a young group, an extremely young group that they’ve encountered their fair share of adversity here. ... That makes it tough to get continuity. ... But they gutted out a win tonight. That’s a great thing.” After trailing by 15 in the second half, the Pirates (0-1) were down 59-56 with possession of the ball in the final minute. Darrion Pellum’s tying 3-pointer with roughly 17 seconds left bounced off the back iron, and Wake Forest’s Ty Walker tipped the rebound to Ari Stewart. Stewart hit two free throws with 12.7 seconds left, and Harris, the team’s only returning starter, added two more free throws with 2.4 seconds left. Stewart finished with 10 rebounds for the Demon Deacons, who came up with just enough plays to avoid their first 0-2 start since the 1979-80 team opened with consecutive losses to N.C. State and Duke in the Big Four Tournament. Wake was playing for the first time since freshman point guard Tony Chennault was lost for 8-10 weeks with a broken left foot, and an already thin backcourt was further tested when Harris picked up his second foul just over two minutes in. That led Bzdelik to insert walk-on guard Aaron Ingle at the first TV timeout.

Information about Gaucher disease Dear Dr. Gott: My granddaughter has been diagnosed with Gaucher's disease. She is a 20-year-old college student and has been able to keep up with work and travel opportunities so far. Has anything new been discovered about this illness? What treatment is available? Both her father and mother are and I DR. PETER carriers, found that I GOTT am, too. On my side, I realized that my grandfather must have been a carrier, since both his sisters died as young women. My own doctor knows very little about this illness. I know it is rare. Please let me know if, and where, it is being studied. Thank you. Dear Reader: Gaucher's (pronounced go-shayz) disease is genetic, meaning it is caused by an inherited malformation. This causes a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which is responsible for metabolizing the fatty substance glucocerebroside. It most commonly occurs in

those of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish descent. There are 34 known mutations that can cause the disorder. Of these, four account for 95 percent of all cases that affect those of Askenazi descent and 50 percent of all cases within the general population. There are three types of Gaucher. Type 1 is the most common, accounting for 90 percent of all cases. It can occur at any age but is most common in adults, with the average age of 30 at the time of diagnosis. It doesn't typically damage the brain but can cause skeletal abnormalities, nosebleeds, an enlarged spleen and/or liver, yellow spots in the eyes, delayed puberty, excessive fatigue, anemia and susceptibility to bruising. Type 2 is rare and the most severe form. It develops during a baby's first year and progresses rapidly. Symptoms include those of type 1 and also rigidity, cognitive deterioration (including mental retardation and dementia) and seizures. Type 3 is also rare and typically begins in childhood or adolescence. It progresses more slowly than type 2 and

tends to be chronic. The brain is affected, but this is usually milder than type 2. Symptoms may include any of those in the first two types but may occur more frequently. Abnormal eye movements and loss of muscle coordination may also be seen. Diagnosis can be confirmed by evaluating levels of the deficient enzyme and/or through genetic testing. Type 1 may not require treatment if symptoms are mild. Both type 1 and type 3 can also be treated with enzyme-replacement therapy, bone marrow transplant and medication. There is no specific treatment for type 2. Those with mild forms of Gaucher's, especially those who develop it in adulthood, can expect close to normal life expectancies. Children with type 2 do not often live past age 2. Those with type 3 who survive into their teens generally live for many more years. Gaucher's disease can be difficult to deal with for both the sufferer and his or her family. Based on your letter, I suspect your granddaughter may have a mild form, and, if this is the case, she may not need treatment at all. You do

not say whether she is receiving treatment and, if so, what kind; therefore, I cannot offer you any other advice. I do recommend that she be under the care of a physician familiar with this disorder. She may also benefit from a support group, likely online due to the rare nature of her illness. You and she may also wish to check out the National Gaucher Foundation website (www.GaucherDisease.org) to keep up to date with research, clinical trials (of which there are several currently recruiting), treatment and more. You can also phone 800-504-3189 or write for further information to the National Gaucher Foundation, 2227 Idlewood Road, Suite 6, Tucker, GA 30084. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including "Live Longer, Live Better," "Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet" and "Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook," which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Animated Oscar race to feature only 3 nominees LOS ANGELES (AP) — Only three nominees will be in the running for best animated feature film at this year’s Academy Awards. Oscar organizers announced Monday that 15 animated features have been accepted for consideration, one short of the minimum 16

needed to expand the category to five nominees. Among the films accepted for consideration are “Toy Story 3,” which was the year’s top-grossing movie, along with fellow hits “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Despicable Me,” “Shrek Forever After” and “Megamind.”

Also in the running: “Alpha and Omega,” “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore,” “Idiots and Angels,” “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole,” “My Dog Tulip” and “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.” The final four of the academy’s 15 accepted films still

need to start a one-week run at a Los Angeles theater by Dec. 31 to qualify for this year’s Oscars: “Tangled,” “The Illusionist,” “The Dreams of Jinsha” and “Summer Wars.” Nominations come out Jan. 25, with the Oscar ceremony following on Feb. 27.

Two card-play tips for the price of one BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.” That sounds like a bridge player who has made a mistake and tries to justify his play with a faulty argument. This week we are looking at how defenders try to wrest trump control from declarer. This usually requires two things: a bad trump break (from declarer’s point of view) and forcing declarer to ruff in the long trump hand, so that he cannot draw trumps without turning his suit contract into no-trump. In this example, West leads off with his two top clubs against four hearts. What happens with best play by declarer? And what if he errs slightly? Over North’s single raise, South should be happy with game. A slam is extremely unlikely. Suppose South, thinking everything is cool, ruffs at trick two and draws two rounds of trumps — then what? He goes down! If South takes two more rounds of trumps and plays a spade, East will win with his ace and cash three club tricks for down two. And if South abandons trumps, playing on spades, East wins with his ace and returns the club

queen. After South ruffs, he can do no better than play a spade to dummy, ruff the last club, and cash two diamond tricks. He still gets dummy’s heart queen, but that is only nine tricks. South was unlucky that East had four hearts and five clubs. However, if he had drawn only one round of trumps before playing on spades, he would have been all right whatever happened.
