Local soldier’s shrapnel wounds healing BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

On Oct. 30, Phil Leonard was on the job at his tow-truck service when the phone rang. It was son Matt, calling from Afghanistan on a borrowed cell phone, saying he’d been injured. “At first I thought it was a joke,” Phil says. But he could tell in his son’s voice that it wasn’t. “The whole world stopped,” Phil says. Matt, 26, an E-5 sergeant based in Fort Drum, N.Y., was in Afghanistan with the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. His unit left in March for a 12-month tour. He’d left a month early to help get the unit established. His group would leave the base camp for a week at a time, searching nearby villages

for members of the Taliban. They were on their way back from a mission on Oct. 30 when his truck — he was the squad leader in a group of four vehicles — hit an improvised explosive device and then was ambushed. Walter Meyer, who was sitting behind Matt, was injured, so Matt pulled him out and put him under the truck. Then Matt was hit by shrapnel in the ensuing firefight, so Walter pulled him under the truck, too. “They more or less saved each other,” Phil says. The left side of Matt’s body bore the brunt of the injuries. Because of the explosions, his left eardrum was shattered, but doctors feel the right one will heal on its own. A neck injury just missed his jugular, mom Pat says. He also suffered extensive damage to his

left leg. Matt underwent surgeries in Afghanistan and Germany before being transferred to Fort Bragg, a week after the attack. Matt chose Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg over Walter Reed Hospital to be closer to his family. His parents live Salisbury and his in-laws live in Lexington. Wife Jennifer has been with him constantly since he’s been at Fort Bragg. The couple has two boys, Steven, 6, and Lance, 22 months. When Matt arrived at Fort Bragg on Nov. 6, his parents were waiting. The first thing his dad felt? “Relief,” Phil says. “You can talk to him all you want.” But Phil wanted to put his hands on his

School system eyes church Cornerstone Church campus could be used for central administration office BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Cornerstone Church is offering its current campus to Rowan-Salisbury Schools to use for a central administration office, officials said Tuesday. Assistant Superintendent Gene Miller said that he and Superintendent Judy Grissom have had preliminary talks with Pastor Bill Godair about a possible move and toured the campus. “Originally, that building was the old Security Bank and trust Company’s administration center,” Miller said. “They had probably in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 people. ... There’s a possibility for the first time to basically get everybody under one roof, which is more efficient.” It may be two roofs, instead of the five that exist

Longtime chamber executive Sonny Epting dies B Y M ARK W INEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

Some years back, Sonny Epting and Jay Duke were partners in a golf foursome at the Country Club of Salisbury. On the sixth hole, a par 3, Epting jerked his tee shot toward a tree on the left side of the green. Duke remembers seeing Epting throw down his club in disgust as the ball continued rattling around. “He already had said his blessings to the ball,” Duke laughs. As they turned their attention back toward the green, the men watched Epting’s ball emerge from the tree, take a few bounces and roll into the cup for an ace. “That’s the way I played it,” Epting told

Epting died Monday after an extended illness. He was 80. Keller Vernon “Sonny” Epting Jr. once described himself as an “old school” Chamber executive. For many years, he was the behind-the-scenes point person for recruiting jobs and industry to Rowan. Before the Salisbury-Rowan Economic Development Commission was established in 1984, the chamber filled the role as the community’s chief industrial recruiter, and Epting could list numerous success-

Council approves Nashville Nights bar B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com

A nightclub owner won unanimous approval from Salisbury City Council on Tuesday for a downtown country and bluegrass bar. But council member Brian Miller’s yes vote came with a warning. Because of recent problems with downtown bars, “the fuse is very short,” Miller told Nashville Nights owner Karen Littleton. “Any issues to do with public safety will be treated very seriously.” At any time, City Council can revoke the special use permit that will allow a nightclub at 127 E. Innes St. During her testimony, Littleton said the private club would be a “safe, upscale establishment” with 12 employees and private security. She told council members she was aware of their concerns about the safety of nightclub patrons and said, “I am concerned, as well.”

The city should know by this summer. Attaining certification for the Customer Service Center would be a “huge accomplishment,” Alexander said, because data centers use so much electricity. She said she offset the usage by placing solar panels on the roof for hot water and radiant floor heat in the large service bay. Bricks for the service center building were created from 100 percent recycled content and produced and purchased from a local manufacturer. The concrete masonry accent pieces on the structure were also created locally from recycled materials.

son. Phil takes a shaker of pepper and shakes some onto his wife’s plate. Matt’s arms were peppered with shrapnel, he says, and that’s what they look like. It’s in the process of being removed with pumps that Matt wheels around the halls in a wheelchair. “He’s in awesome spirits,” Pat says. “He’s got awesome care at Womack.” When they were sewing up his arms, they even took care to make sure his tattoos still lined up, she says. Even though his helmet cut his nose and he took shrapnel under his left eye, Matt looked much better than his mom envisioned, says Pat, who works for Rowan County Animal Control. She and Phil have visited every weekend. It’s been a bit of a homecoming for Phil, who was stationed at Fort Bragg when he was in service. Father and son, he says, “talk about anything and everything.” They both love fishing and camping — as do the boys — so they are anxious to be able to get back to that. The Leonards say that Matt will be in the hospital at least three to six more months. Military service runs in the Leonard family. Son Max, 23, is scheduled to deploy in January as a Navy Seabee. Daughter Brittany, 15, is considering a career in the Air Force, like her dad. Matt joined the Army at 18. This was his second tour in Afghanistan. His dad believes he’ll make a career of the Army. “He likes the structure,” Phil says. “It’s a good life. He doesn’t have to worry about getting laid off.” Pat notes that Matt was in good health before he deployed. “He told us he’s gonna fight this,” Pat says. “He’ll get well and be back at it. My kids are tough.” She adds, “The shock is

Richard Head, who works in telecommunications for Food Lion, toured the building. Interested HEAD in data connectivity, Head said Food Lion potentially could take advantage of Fibrant services. The center is the city’s largest construction project in five decades. “It’s very well laid out,” Head said. Architect Karen Alexander said she is pleased with the facility, which took two years to design and build. She worked closely with city employees, seeking their input about working conditions and layout. With their suggestions, Alexander said she incorporated more windows throughout the building. People who can see daylight, the weather, their environment and watch the time of day change are more productive at work, she said. Alexander also lowered partitions between desks and designed work areas to encourage collaboration and

Congestion expected once light display opens

BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Drivers on U.S. 29 and Bruton Smith Boulevard will likely see heavy traffic when the Carolina Christmas light display at Charlotte Motor Speedway opens on Nov. 22. More than 60,000 cars and 250,000 people are expected to visit the speedway during the 42night event. Due to holiday traffic at Concord Mills Mall, particularly on weekend evenings, Carolina Christmas visitors are encouraged to use U.S. 29 to get to the speedway, rather than using Interstate 85 and exit 49, Bruton Smith Boulevard. From Interstate 85, visitors are encouraged to use exit 48 to I-485, or exit 52 to Poplar Tent Road, and take U.S. 29 to the speedway. All Carolina Christmas traffic should enter the speedway at the main entrance at the intersection of Bruton Smith Boulevard and U.S. 29 and turn left to buy tickets at Gate 26, which is the infield tunnel entrance. Anyone with a Fast Pass, or nowaiting tickets, should enter at Entrance N off Morehead Road. Speedway Club guests should enter at Entrance L off Morehead Road. Operating hours for Carolina Christmas will be 6 to 10 p.m., Nov. 22 through Jan. 2. The 2.5-mile length of the drivethrough park will feature 1 million LED lights. Five theme areas of lights in the infield will include The Night Before Christmas, Toyland, Candyland, Rudolphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flight School and Victorian Village. Other attractions include a 40by 100-foot skating rink (and skate rentals) in the garage area, and an expansive Bethlehem Village with a two-story entrance and a threestory inn with a big nativity scene and live actors. Tickets are available online at www.visitcarolinachristmas.com or at the gate during event hours for drive-up traffic. Admission is $20 per passenger vehicle, with group and motorcoach packages available. Families may also take advantage of The Speedway Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holiday Dinners and Carolina Christmas packages, which include a speedway-provided ride through the display and individual or family-style meals starting at $20. For more information, call 800455-3267 or visit www.charlottemotorspeedway.com.

The day after the city launched Fibrant on Nov. 1, Time Warner Cable announced new Internet download speeds in the Charlotte area of up to 50 Mbps. Time Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest upload speed is 5 Mbps. Fibrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential broadband speed of 100 Mbps is the fastest in the Charlotte region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can scale this up even further,â&#x20AC;?

Crews are setting up the displays at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Organizers are warning drivers to expect heavy traffic once the display opens on Nov. 22.

Police team up for checkpoint targeting drugs The Landis and China Grove police departments worked together on a joint traffic stop Sunday, targeting areas in each of the towns that have been affected by drugs. The checkpoint led to several felony drug charges being filed against a couple. Detective Roger Hosey of Landis police and Sgt. David Walther of China Grove police stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation just after midnight Sunday on West Liberty Street. The car was driven by Latoya Marie Smith, 27, girlfriend of Derrion Taylor Crawford, 18, who is on probation on a robbery conviction. Police asked Crawford to step out of the car, and when Hosey went to pat him down, Crawford pulled away, Hosey said. Crawford and

Hosey briefly struggled, but Hosey said he was able to get Crawford onto the ground and handcuffed. Officers say they found crack cocaine in Crawfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coat pocket. A handgun CRAWFORD was also found in the trunk, and digital scales and more crack cocaine was found near the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, police said. Crawford, of 707 Valley St., was charged with two counts of felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a schedule II controlled substance, felony possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of drug paraphernalia, selling and delivering a controlled sub-

stance and resist and delay. He was placed in the Rowan County jail under a $12,500 secured bond. He was listed as being in the jail Tuesday night. Smith, of 318 SMITH Rice St., Kannapolis, was charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a schedule II controlled substance, maintaining a vehicle or dwelling place for a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was booked in the Rowan County jail under a $7,500 secured bond. She was not listed as being in the jail Tuesday night.

School budgets may face more cuts GREENSBORO (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue says local school systems may be unhappy when she recommends more government cuts for the coming year. Perdue spoke Tuesday to the North Carolina School Boards Association. Perdue told the group that schools should get ready for cuts. Perdue says she wants to protect education and economic development but agencies should look at eliminating programs that are outside their core missions. State government and education already have suffered through two years of cuts but next year’s budget gap may exceed $3 billion.

Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has improved its Critical Care Transport System by reducing the response time to calls from communities and hospitals south of Winston-Salem. One of two air ambulances, AirCare 1, began service Monday from the Davidson County Airport in Lexington. The helicopter had been based at Wake Forest Baptist in WinstonSalem. Basing the helicopter in Lexington will reduce flight time to communities in Rowan, Randolph, Guilford, Iredell, Montgomery, Stanly, Moore, Iredell and Davie counties. “We can save as much as 15 minutes in response time to these communities by moving AirCare 1 to the Davidson Airport,” said Donny Lambeth, president of North Carolina Baptist Hospital, a part of Wake Forest Baptist. “Every minute counts in emergency situations,” he added. Studies indicate that when patients are transported to a trauma center within 60 minutes, the mortality rate is lower. Earlier this year, Wake Forest Baptist began operating a second helicopter, which is based in Boonville in Yadkin County. That helicopter primarily serves the counties northwest of Winston-Salem. “By locating these air ambulances strategically, we are significantly improving our response time to our 26-county primary service area,” Lambeth said. “The Critical Care Transport system is a vital community service for a Level 1 trauma center to offer 24 hours a day. “Our team is proud to be part of the EMS system of physicians, nurses and paramedics who are committed to excellence in emer-

gency services,” he added. The crew includes an experienced critical care paramedic and a registered nurse with special training in critical care, emergency. AirCare treats patients with a variety of critical conditions including trauma, cardiac, stroke, burns, pediatric and neonatal and highrisk obstetrical. The helicopter is in the air within 10 minutes of receiving a call, and the crew is in direct contact with EMS personnel at the scene or the referring physician at the hospital. The crew treats patients at the scene and is usually back in the air within 10 minutes. The crew is in direct contact with physicians in the emergency department at Wake Forest Baptist. The helicopter, an EC 135 provided by Air Methods Corp., the nation’s largest supplier of medical emergency transport services, flies at a cruising speed of about 150 miles per hour and is equipped with sophisticated life support and patient care equipment, plus stateof-the-art navigation and communications gear and night vision goggles. The pilot must have a commercial helicopter certificate with instrument rating and at least 2,000 hours total flight time. Air Methods has leased a hanger at the Davidson County Airport for the helicopter and crew. The Critical Care Transport System also includes two mobile ambulances, one based at Wilkes Regional Medical Center in North Wilkesboro and the other based at Lexington Memorial Hospital. Wake Forest Baptist began the air ambulance service 24 years ago and has transported more than 14,000 patients.

Durham council tells police to accept Mexican ID card DURHAM (AP) — A North Carolina city is joining hundreds of other American communities in recognizing identification cards issued by the Mexican consulate as a valid ID, despite opposition from conservatives. Durham’s city council voted 5-2 Monday night to tell city employees to treat the Mexican matricula consular on par with other official IDs. The city council’s resolution was sought by advocates who said it would help when Mexican immigrants are caught in traffic stops or other situations where a lack of identification can lead to arrest. Durham police typically issue a ticket to someone driving without a license rather than arresting them, if they have some other form of identification. Police Chief Jose Lopez said officers have been recognizing the Mexican IDs for the three years he’s held his job. The city council’s move would help build support among the city’s Hispanic residents, who have grown more willing to cooperate with police, Lopez said. “It becomes another tool which appears will allow the police department to more effectively perform their policing duties,” Mayor Bill Bell said.

“It becomes another tool which appears will allow the police department to more effectively perform their policing duties.” BILL BELL Durham mayor

The Hispanic community group El Centro Hispano staged a march to urge the council’s support of the Mexican ID. El Centro community organizer Ronald Garcia said the ID card allows police to avoid an immigration case when illegal immigrants are involved in minor infractions. “Detaining and processing and then deporting people who haven’t really committed a crime, yeah, maybe they don’t have all their papers in order, but that’s really a part of our broken immigration system,” Garcia said. Critics of the plan to recognize the card argued it accepts illegal immigration and that the Mexican government isn’t rigorous about verifying the identity of those who apply for one.

Howard Councilman Clement, who cast one of the opposing votes, said he agreed with opponents that the ID’s reliability was dubious, citing criticism by the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department. Lopez countered that the agencies’ criticism were outdated and that the card had incorporated better security measures. “Today, it seems to be a different card,” Lopez said. U.S. cities began accepting the ID card issued to Mexicans living abroad a decade ago. The policy has spread to nearly 400 U.S. cities and almost 1,200 police departments, according to a report by the federal Government Accountability Office. In North Carolina, Carrboro adopted a resolution recognizing the matricula consular in 2002, but neither advocates nor opponents could say whether any other cities had done the same. North Carolina’s Hispanic population, which grew by nearly 400 percent between 1990 and 2000, continues to surge. About 722,000 of North Carolina’s 9.4 million people are Hispanic, according to U.S. Census figures. Nearly 33,000 of Durham County’s 270,000 residents are Latino.

Acorns provide fall soundtrack n addition to the yard of my old home being “blessed” with rocks in a continual state of eruption from the ground, in the fall of the year, the yard was equally scattered with something from above: acorns. This was due to the number of great trees whose leaves blocked most of the sun’s direct rays, resulting in my yard being lit during the day by mostly ambient light. The slowly emerging, ever-present quartz rocks made no sound as they intruded from below, but such wasn’t the case with the intruders from the MACK WILLIAMS forested canopy above. There was a variety of sounds which came from their friction with the various media into which they fell. A thin, wispy sound was produced if the acorn fell into the grass. A completely different sound emanated from their fall into a ground covering of leaves, with there being a distinction if the leaves were soggy and crumbling, or if they were crisp and dry. If they fell onto the rocks in the yard, since the acorns themselves were so hard, a sound similar to stone-striking-stone was produced. Every now and then, a similar sound of something dense striking another object of density would be produced if one of these acorns landed on the top of my head, the sound produced (and felt) being a distinctive “thump.” The acorns’ falling place which generated the most sonorous sound was the old chicken house in the back yard at the edge of the woods. Since there wasn’t much inside except a couple of dozen chickens or so, the chicken house acted kind of like the sounding board of a

Vail told investigators 12 washers and dryers had been stolen from his business Friday. An officer went to Holmes Metal in East Spencer, where an employee said Elvis Shields had sold the dozen machines as scrap metal for $128. They were worth $3,000. Elvis Shields, 53, of 1608 Wood Briar Drive, Greensboro, is charged with two counts of felony larceny, obtaining property by false pretense, first-degree trespassing, possession of burglary tools and driving while license revoked. Richard Shields, 47, of 2570 16th St., Greensboro, is charged with felony larceny, first-degree trespassing, possession of burglary tools and, on a Guilford County warrant, failure to appear in court.

guitar, carrying the sound of striking acorns for a certain modest distance in the neighborhood, down to and a little ways along the Old Concord Road. Depending on the circumstances of the acorns’ fall, some of them lost their “caps,” making them look like children who were insufficiently wrapped for the coming cold. I recall seeing a great many squirrels in the yard in regards to the fallen acorns. Sometimes they were busy with storing up the acorns as food for the winter, and at other times they were just busy eating and satisfying their present needs in between their thoughts of needs for the future. Sometimes, while exploring in the woods, I would turn over a clump of damp, rotting leaves and see some of the acorns which the squirrels had missed, fulfilling the purpose of their fall, lying within the forest floor cover, their tiny sprouts seeking the soil through the accumulated, damp, crumbling leaves. On a visit to Salisbury last year, I brought back a few acorns from the yard of my old home, where my friends Charlie and Pam now live. I have these acorns sitting on a table in my living room. Since they date from last year, the “nut” part of them has evidently dried and shriveled. If they are jostled, they produce a sound similar to that of shaken “baked-in-theshell” peanuts. One day, I brushed by the table, knocking one of them off, and heard it hit the floor. Just as years before, this modern acorn from my old yard also made a unique sound when it struck the medium of my wood floor. This latest sound produced by a falling acorn was a sound of “connection,” the resonating of my first home with where I live now.

CONTINUED will be done to assess any structural or environmental problems with the building and property. The issue then will be brought before the RowanSalisbury Board of Education, whose members will discuss whether or not to pursue the building as a central office location. “If the board says there is interest, we’ll start negotiation with them on a price,” Miller said. “Obviously, we don’t have $4.5 million or $5 million.” The negotiated price would then be brought before the R o w a n C o u n t y Board of Commissioners to see if the county will purchase it. CommisFORD s i o n e r Chairman Carl Ford said all the board members know the system has needed a central office for years, but the county doesn’t have the money to buy one. He added that the Cornerstone property is in a “perfect location” near U.S. 29 and Interstate 85 and between Salisbury and China Grove. “It’s a great building, but the economy just doesn’t allow us to do much of anything right now,” Ford said. “With what’s probably going to happen next year (with the budget), there’s no way.” The school board has pressed for a new central office location both to consolidate the existing offices and to avoid safety hazards resulting from structural problems at the Long Street facility. “I don’t want to spend a dime upgrading Long Street,” Ford said. “If it’s needed for safety to get them out of there, we’ve got the old DSS building that will be available in just a few weeks.” Earlier this year, the county offered the former Department of Social Services building. The school board considered the offer in March and requested a feasibility study. Eventually, school officials concluded that the building does not meet their needs and it would cost too much to move operations there. Miller said he had informally spoken to Ford as well as Commissioners Jon Barber and Raymond Coltrain about the possible move. Barber and Coltrain both said Tuesday that while they were aware of discussions about it, they had not been actively involved in the process.

CHURCH FROM 1a now at four different sites. He said Cornerstone campus could probably house the approximately 115 staff members from the Long Street, Ellis Street and Horizons offices, but the nearly 50 exceptional children staff at the Corporate Square office on Main Street may have to stay separate. Some space will be needed for equipment as well as staff. He said the event center behind the main building could be subdivided for office space or left partially open as a meeting area. MILLER It could even remain as an events center to be rented out to generate revenue. Miller said suggested prices so far have been between $4.5 million and $5.5 million. County tax records show the church property to be valued at $2.34 million before the new event center was built two years ago. Godair said he began talking to school and county officials about the property earlier this year because he knew about the need for a RowanSalisbury Schools central offfice. “We were looking at the future, and at the same time, I just felt like this was the perfect setting for the school system,” Godair said. “In my opinion, it’s a shame for school administration to be in the building it’s in.” Godair said Cornerstone Church is completing the purchase of 45 acres of land in China Grove bounded by

Highway 152, U.S. 29 and Interstate 85. That land is valued at $1.04 million, according to county records. The current owner is China Grove Properties LLC, which includes Quincy Cummings of Salisbury, Gary Props of China Grove, Larry Hefner of Lewisville and J a m e s Richardson of Hickory. Godair said the Cornerstone C h u r c h Board of Directors voted unanimously GODAIR to move forward with the purchase. “Whether the school purchases the building or they don’t, we are planning on having that 45 acres,” Godair said. “If the school purchases the facility, we have somewhere to go. If they don’t, we have other plans.” There are plenty of options for those other plans, he said, including moving the church to the new location while running after-school programs out of the old building or even opening a Christian school. The church also could end up selling the new property in the future, because the value of that “prime interstate property” could shoot up as the economy recovers. It could then possibly buy land it has previously looked at near the current campus. Godair emphasized that none of the plans are being pursued until the school board decides whether it wants to purchase the property. Miller said the matter will be brought before the school system’s building and grounds committee at 3 p.m. Thursday to see if there is any interest. At that point, more research

Energy Star rated homes to earn savings The North Carolina State Energy Office is joining with the makers and sellers of manufactured homes and the support of utility companies to help the state’s consumers cut utility bills and get money back for buying energy efficient homes with the new North Carolina ENERGY STAR Plus Initiative. Buyers of manufactured homes will receive a $500 rebate when they purchase an ENERGY STAR-rated home. In addition to the cash back, homeowners will save about $74 per month — or $888 a year — on utility bills compared with a home of the same size that is not ENERGY STAR rated. In many cases, electric service providers are offering additional savings incentives on energy-efficient homes. NC ENERGY STAR Plus provides an incentive for homeowners to but a home that may have a slightly higher monthly mortgage, but ultimately saves the customer money through energy efficiency and lower monthly utility bills. The rebate also more than covers any increase in added

NASHVILLE FROM 1a Updated security guidelines for the club include the potential that security staff will use metal-detecting wands to search patrons for weapons. Littleton pledged to “do my level best to run my business with dignity.” Chip Bridges, Littleton’s attorney, said his client wants to follow the city’s rules and regulations to the letter and address any problems before council might consider revoking the special use permit. Littleton, a lifetime resident of Salisbury and Rowan County and property owner, has “a lot to lose” if the club is not run properly, Bridges said. “I think you will be proud of the operation she will run, and it will be a great addition to the nightlife of Salisbury,” he said. No one opposed the bar during a public hearing. City Council’s approval comes a few months after shootings, fights and vandalism occurred near downtown bars. Club Liqwid on South Main Street closed in July after police were repeatedly called to the bar for altercations involving unruly crowds, fights, drunken behavior, destruction of property and even gunshots. In June, two men were shot to death on East Innes Street two hours after a dispute over a pool table in Benchwarmers, a Fisher

EPTING FROM 1a Palmer left the post to start his own business. Over his career, Epting served as president of the N.C. Association of Chamber Executives and president of the N.C. Industrial Developers Association Twice Epting was named North Carolina’s Chamber Executive of the Year. In 1975, he was one of only two chamber officials from North Carolina given an audience with President Gerald Ford at the White House to discuss energy issues. “I knew it was going to happen,” Shives says of his friend’s death. “I just wasn’t prepared for it. I think it’s just a great loss. I can’t say enough about him.” Epting was active over the years in the Jaycees, the Moose Lodge, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Salisbury Rotary and Eaman Park Pool. At his retirement salute in December 1995, more than 20 former presidents of the chamber showed up to pay tribute to Epting. “Sonny was just a great person,” Duke says. “He always liked everybody. I don’t know any enemy he had in the world.” Epting grew up on Elm Street not far from Shives. “I think I spent more time at his

down payment for the ENERGY STAR home. Homebuyers begin saving money as soon as they move into their new home. For example, a family buying a new ENERGY STAR Plus manufactured home in Raleigh that is 1,570 square feet is estimated to save $73 each month compared with a manufactured standard home. Upgrading to an ENERGY STAR Plus home will cost an estimated $25 per month in added monthly mortgage costs. Combined with the savings on utility bills, the total monthly homeownership costs will actually be $48 less each month. “We want to get homebuyers to look at the advantages of energy savings that can help them purchase a higher quality home, save on utility bills and help the environment,” said Ward Lenz, director of the State Energy Office. “This helps consumers, conserves energy and even boosts North Carolina’s economy.” The rebate program is sponsored, in part, by the State Energy Office with funds from the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Also sponsoring the program is the North Carolina Manufactured and Modular Homebuilders Association. The initiative is being supported by Progress Energy, Duke Energy, GreenCo (the energy efficiency and renewable resources initiative of the N.C. Electric Cooperatives) and Piedmont Natural Gas. In addition to the rebate and monthly savings, Progress Energy and Duke Energy customers buying a new ENERGY STAR home also qualify for a 5 percent discount on their utility bills. A special website, www.NCEnergyStarPlus.org, explains the program to North Carolina consumers and includes an easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blank calculator so potential buyers can see for themselves how much an ENERGY STAR-rated manufactured home can save them. The site also includes a listing of manufactured home retailers participating in the program. There are links to the website on the N.C. Energy Office website, www.energync.net.

Street bar, according to police. Littleton has said she is the mother of Todd Littleton, who owns Benchwarmers. She said the two bars will have no connection but mother and son are mutually supportive. City Council discussed a variety of issues related to the nightclub, including pedestrian safety, potential noise complaints from downtown residents and security measures. “We probably are wise to be careful,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said. Allowing another bar downtown is a difficult decision, Kluttz said, and council members feel responsible for the safety of downtown visitors. But the city must treat all businesses fairly, and other Salisbury establishments serve alcohol and are open until 2 a.m., she said. With security guidelines in place and the knowledge that council can revoke the special use permit at any time, Kluttz said she approved. Council member Paul Woodson said several residents asked him to vote no. Negative press coverage about downtown bars has caused a backlash, he said. “People don’t want bars right now,” he said. But once satisfied that noise would not be a problem for downtown residents, Woodson gave his approval. Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell said she was impressed with Littleton’s application and liked the membership rules and security

guidelines. Blackwell approved, although she said residents of the Plaza already are complaining about noisy motorcycle nights at a nearby restaurant, and loud music might cause another problem. Council member William “Pete” Kennedy said Littleton deserves a chance to open her business and the city can “see what she does.” If there are problems, “we can revoke,” Kennedy said. On the recommendation of City Attorney Rivers Lawther, council did not attach a sunset clause as suggested by Salisbury Planning Board, which approved the special use permit on a split vote last month. With the sunset clause, the permit would have expired in one year, causing Littleton to re-apply. Lawther said he didn’t think an automatic expiration would hold up under scrutiny because council already has the right to revoke the permit at any time. Business owners faced with a one-year expiration would reconsider expensive improvements to the property, Lawther said. After the meeting, Littleton said the encounter was “very cordial” and “there was not as much tension as I thought there might be.” She said she will pursue permits from various city departments and does not have an opening date yet. “Now the hard work begins,” she said.

house than my own house growing up,” Shives says. They were altar boys together at St. John’s Lutheran and attended Boyden High School, though Shives was in the class ahead of Epting. Shives made a career in the Air Force and after retiring had moved to Florida to work a government job when Epting called him one night and asked, “How would you like to come back home?” Shives said there would have to be a job for him in Salisbury. “I’ve got one for you,” Epting told him. Shives started as Epting’s assistant in 1971 and worked until his medical retirement after bypass surgery in 1990. After graduating with a business degree from Catawba in 1953 and spending two years in the Army at Fort Jackson, S.C., Epting worked in advertising for the Salisbury Post. He later took a marketing job with Carolina Tire Co., having responsibility for the Carolinas and Tennessee. When he tired of being on the road, Epting took the assis-

tant’s job at the local chamber. Duke moved to Salisbury in 1957 as part of a training program with Firestone Rubber Co. Epting called on him while he was still working at the Post. “He was the first person in Salisbury I met,” Duke says. The men grew to be great friends on fishing trips, on travels with their wives, at long-standing penny poker games and on the golf course. Duke figures he and Epting played some 3,000 rounds of golf together. “Anybody could be a friend of his,” Duke says. “His smiles and laughter were always real joyful, congenial and pleasant. Just a super nice guy.” Epting is survived by his wife of 58 years, Pat, and their two sons, Gregg and Scott. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

Yoder’s Amish Market

KAtie ScArveY/SAliSburY POSt

rick Smith talks to customer Jan Nichols, who stopped by Yoder’s Amish Market Monday.

Statesville Boulevard market will have cooks — and anybody who likes to eat — salivating BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

f you like to cook and have ever been to an Amish-style bulk food store, then you are probably excited to see that one has opened in what used to be the Amishcraft Furniture at 4077 Statesville Blvd. Open for business since last Monday, Yoder’s Amish Market has already attracted a good bit of attention. Being able to buy spices at non-extortionary prices is reason enough for a serious cook to make a trip — and in fact, owner Rick Smith says he’s already had three or four customers tell him that they used to travel to Pennsylvania twice a year to purchase spices — and are thrilled that such trips will no longer be necessary. Of course Yoder’s offers a lot more than spices, and much of it costs less than what you would pay in a regular supermarket. Rick points out the market’s steel-cut oats — which are sometimes marketed as Irish oatmeal — may cost a third of what you’d pay at a store like Whole Foods. “It’s quality stuff, fresh, and reasonable prices,” he says. Yoder’s grand opening was Saturday, and Rick was thrilled with the turnout. He estimates that at least 500 people came out. But more importantly, perhaps, there were 260 cash register transactions. On Monday morning, Jan Nichols was shopping at Yoder’s, lured in by the large sign outside the store. Her main residence is in Key West, Fla., but she also has a place in Coolemee. An Amish market shopper when she has the chance, she was stocking up on soup mixes and spices. She said she was impressed by how well-stocked the store is. John and Anna Weaver, who own the building and who used to run Amishcraft Furniture there, leased Rick the building, which he hopes to buy eventually. John is related to Sam and Katie Yoder, who sold the original Yoder’s Amish Market to Rick, who chose to keep the name. Most of the store’s products arrive in bulk from Amish communities in Pennsylvania, Rick says. They are then repackaged by Rick’s employees, who come from local Anabaptist (Mennonite-type) churches. John and Anna Weaver helped Rick find his employees. Rick says that while his employees definitely add to the store’s flavor, they

were also chosen because of their strong work ethic. Yoder’s offers a wide variety of merchandise, from buckwheat groats to red lentils to goat cheese to something called souse. There is a large pasta section, with traditional Amish noodles, whole wheat pasta and flavored pastas. The meats and cheeses come from Ohio — and Rick loves to introduce people to good cheese, like the white cheddar — which is delicious: sharp and creamy. Bakers and cooks will find plenty to load their carts with, from pastry flour to huge bottles of vanilla extract. But if you don’t have time to bake, the store still has you covered. Yoder’s offers a tempting variety of baked goods: bread, pies (from chess to whoopie), cookies and cakes (from hummingbird to fruitcake — but the good kind of fruitcake, Rick emphasizes). These items are all baked fresh in their Yanceyville store. With 48 hours advance notice, the staff will take special orders for baked goods. And even if you haven’t seen what you want in the store, they might be able to accommodate you. Rick says that a lot of the store’s customers are older and looking for things they remember from their childhoods — whether it be horehound candy, birch beer or shoofly pie. Liz notes that the store is the perfect place to stock up a Christmas gift basket. With cooks also ramping up their efforts around the holidays, the Smiths are looking forward to a busy season. For now, the Smith family will split their time between their home in Caswell County and a travel trailer they live in when they’re at the Rowan County store. The family isn’t yet sure whether they’ll keep their permanent residence in Yanceyville or move to Salisbury. So far, they like Rowan County. Rick and Liz have eight children who are home-schooled and help in the store. They are Brittany, 19; Ayla, 12; Brenna, 11; twins Kyle and Daniel, 9; Chaeli, 7; Matthew, 6; and Patrick Henry, 4. “We wanted our kids to understand the value of work, and working for yourself,” Rick says. The whole family has been eating better since they bought their first market six years ago, Rick says. They grind their own wheat — which is available for pur-

chase in 50-pound bags, and in smaller quantities for those who don’t have eight kids to feed. You can also buy a machine at Yoder’s that can grind 20 cups of flour in about 2 minutes, Rick says. One item popular for those looking out for their health is a tonic called Yoder’s Good Health Recipe. It’s blend of apple cider vinegar and fruit juices, with 14 herbs and spices, including ginseng, goldenseal, echinacea, valerian, ginger and black cohosh. Rick mentions one customer who told him she didn’t change her diet at all except for adding a daily serving of “the recipe” and saw her cholesterol drop by 50 points. Rick also uses the product and is convinced of its benefits. Of course not everything at Yoder’s is health food. There’s a dizzying array of candy, from old-fashioned favorites to gummy rattlesnakes. If you can’t satisfy your sweet tooth at Yoder’s between the candy and the baked goods, it probably can’t be satisfied. • • •

Offerings at Yoder’s Amish Market include fried sweet potato pies (left) and spices (below) at much lower prices than what you’ll find in grocery stores.

Yoder’s Amish Market, 4077 Statesville Blvd, is open from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. For more information, call 704636-5660.

COLUMNS

Reader asks about friends who turn every party into a kegger that they leave the alcohol at home? I wouldn’t even mind a little beer or a bottle of wine, but I know they’ll show up with way too much. Aside from the get-together, how should I tell them I think they drink too much? Should I even do this? I mean, shouldn’t people be able to do what they want without judgment as long as they are not hurting someone else? If I say anything at all, it will probably end the friendship. — Sad Friend Dear Sad: According to you, your friends are hurting other people: They’re scaring your child, making you anxious and holding you hostage to their drinking. For instance, you are already worried about their drinking at an event to which they haven’t yet been invited. If these people come to your house, get smashed and drive themselves and their children home, they are endangering themselves and other innocent people, and you could be held liable for whatever mayhem results.

It is reasonable to say, “We’d like you to come over, but we’re going to make this barbecue alcohol-free. We won’t be serving alcohol and would like for you not to bring any with you.” The bigger picture is that your friends’ drinking will bring real consequences — for them, their families and friends. You can telegraph this by saying, “I care about you but I’m worried about your drinking, and I hope you’ll get help.” Dear Amy: I’m in a relationship with a lovely woman. We’ve been together for 5 or 6 months and I love her very much. I’m in my mid-20s and have racked up quite the debt load ($40,000). On the other hand, she is quite frugal. She’s a saver and penny pincher. I have yet to tell her about the debt I’ve incurred and feel that this might be a huge stumbling block for our relationship. When and how should I approach this sub-

ject? — Hopeless in Debt Dear Hopeless: Racking up $40,000 in debt, certainly at your age, is excessive (though it’s possible to do if you are paying back college loans). You won’t be feeling so “hopeless” if you become proactive about dealing with your debt and take concrete steps to aggressively pay it down. You shouldn’t shield the woman you love from this very important fact about yourself, and if you are taking full responsibility for your debt and are able to point to your successful effort, your girlfriend will see you as you are: a guy with a problem and a solution. Your girlfriend may not be able to fully comprehend the level of your debt, but if you are open about it she may be able to offer support and advice. I love the work of Suze Orman in counseling people through their personal debt crises. Read her book “The Mon-

ey Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke” (Riverhead Trade, 2007) and do exactly as she says. Dear Amy: “Frustrated Mother” was upset about her teenager’s clothes. When my daughters bought/wore something I didn’t approve of, the garment somehow “disappeared in the wash.” The kids were usually so busy with school activities, jobs, etc., they never even noticed. — Smart Mom

The Beatles caved, who remains an iTunes holdout? NEW YORK (AP) — With the Beatles finally on iTunes, Garth Brooks and AC/DC are among the few notable acts that continue to staunchly hold out, unwilling to agree to Apple’s restrictive pricing schemes and loath to see their albums chopped into singles. Kid Rock and Bob Seger have also refused to cave in, like holed-up gunfighters. The Beatles have partnered with Apple Inc.’s iTunes service, ending the most prominent holdout and finally bringing one of music’s most popular catalogs to the online store. Yoko Ono invoked John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” in the news of the Beatles finally joining iTunes. Since iTunes launched in 2001, the music industry has almost entirely gotten on board. For a long time, Led Zeppelin stayed away, but the act finally joined in 2007. Radiohead resisted, too, until 2008. The ranks of the iTunes holdouts have gradually thinned, but the battle goes on for the remaining resisters. Brooks, whose songs are among the most popular in country music, said he had no animosity with Apple, but nevertheless disagreed with its approach to selling music. “They truly think that they’re saving music,” Brooks told reporters last year. “My hat’s off to them. I looked at them right across the table with all the love in the world and told them they were killing it.” Brooks, who has a distribution deal with Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s retail and online stores, has complained about iTunes’ lack of flexibility in pricing and album sales. Apple last year began selling songs for 69 cents and $1.29 aside from the normal 99

cents, though album-only downloads are still discouraged. Angus Young of AC/DC, another act with an exceptionally lucrative catalog of music, once insisted that AC/DC doesn’t make singles, “we make albums.” “If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album,” Young told The Daily Telegraph in 2008. “We don’t think that represents us musically.” Young has said AC/DC’s sales haven’t suffered as a result. The band’s last studio album, “Black Ice,” released in 2008, sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. Kid Rock, whose new album “Born Free” was released Tuesday, has said he’s resistant to the pack mentality and is suspicious of anyone who tells him that he “must” be on iTunes. “I don’t have to,” Kid Rock, 39, told Billboard this month. “Because I remember being a kid when I heard a song that I liked, I would jump on the bus, ride to Detroit, get a $2.50 transfer and walk a mile to the hip-hop store to buy the new Eric B. & Rakim record. You’re not going to stop people from obtaining what they want if it’s available at some level.” Craig Marks, editor of Billboard, said artists holding out “place inordinate value on the album as a cohesive piece of art.” “That’s nothing that Apple is going to give on,” Marks told the Associated Press. “If that’s the emotional reason that they’re reluctant to have their music available on iTunes or available as legal downloads, I’m not sure that’s going to change.”

Cheapskate: A happy shower is a clean shower As the story goes, my father-in-law, a Baptist minister, once received a bottle of liquor as a holiday gift. Deciding to use it as a teaching moment for his young children, he summoned the family to the kitchen, where, with great dramatic flair, he dumped the contents down the sink. Had he known about today’s first reader tip, he might have moved the venue to MARY the bathroom HUNT and used the shower drain as the receptacle, but only after first spritzing down the walls and floor. • Vodka in the shower. At my sister-in-law’s suggestion, I cleaned my large fiberglass shower stall with cheap vodka. It worked like a charm! I sprayed it on, wiped it off with a clean cloth and enjoyed instant results. The vodka cuts through the residue left behind by soap, shampoo and water. It certainly kills germs with all that alcohol, and it’s much cheaper per ounce than the pricey cleaning products

N.C.-MICROSOFT PARTNERSHIP

Useful ‘app’ for students igh-school students in the Rowan-Salisbury system and across the state should reap high-tech benefits from the agreement announced this week between the N.C. Department of Public Instruction and Microsoft.

Microsoft, meanwhile, will reap a PR bonanza as it competes with Apple for shares of the education-application market. Under the agreement, high schools statewide will offer Microsoft certification courses to students who’ll have the opportunity to study word processing, PowerPoint and database management applications. The state Department of Public Instruction will recommend that the Microsoft IT Academy courses replace the entry-level computer applications course currently taught at high schools for the 2011 fall semester. The Microsoft curriculum is already being tested in pilot projects at some high schools around the state and will expand to 20 other systems — including Cabarrus County — in the second semester of this school year, leading up to statewide implementation for the 20112012 term. The state will pay $800,000 for the three-year agreement, while providing the courses to local districts and students at no extra charge. Schools are already incorporating such skills into existing course offerings as part of preparing students to earn as well as learn in the computer age. There should be little doubt these are critically important competencies for students to develop. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that 77 percent of American jobs will require technology skills in the next decade. Corporate leaders have expressed concern about being able to find enough workers with high-tech abilities. Two years ago, Microsoft founder Bill Gates told Congress the United States was facing a severe shortage of science and engineering talent. While Gates was arguing for expansion of the federal H-1B program, which allows U.S. companies to to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, it’s obviously desirable to fill as many of those slots as possible with homegrown workers who’ve gotten a solid foundation in high school. Cynics might view Microsoft’s expanding role in public schools as another way to solidify its dominance in the software world. The reality, however, is that students need these skills to be competent and competitive in the 21st century, whether they’re planning a career in IT or another field. The point isn’t just to excell at Excel but to help students develop a range of computer skills that have recognizable value. These days, there’s an “app” for everything, it seems. The N.C.-Microsoft partnership is a promising app for boosting N.C. students’ success while enhancing the high-tech workforce.

Common sense

My pitching philosophy is simple — keep the ball away from the bat. — Satchel Paige

Moderately confused

ALEIGH — Court watchers around the nation are concerned that judicial elections have become yet another battlefield in a hyper-partisan competition for control of government. Rather than being evaluated on the merits of their service, many judges are being targeted and turned out of office on the basis of a single decision — often taken out of context. The concern is that judges will react by forsaking their role as protectors DAMON the Constitution CIRCOSTA of and instead become concerned with the popularity of their decisions. In contrast to the nasty court contests in other states, here in North Carolina we have been experimenting with an alternative that has removed much of the negative advertising, bitter tone and increasingly partisan warfare that plague those judicial elections. In 2002, the N.C. General Assembly passed the Judicial Campaign Reform Act (JCRA). The legislation made judicial races officially nonpartisan, authorized a statewide voter guide to help inform citizens about judicial candidates and created a system of public financing that has shielded our courts from special-interest influence. Over the four election cycles that JCRA has been in effect, we have seen a real change in the tone of our judicial elections. While lawyer money used to be the largest source of campaign contributions, it is no longer. Now, judges spend most of their time campaigning among voters at rallies and forums throughout the state, rather than chasing contributions. Our judges, conservative and liberal alike, run campaigns based on their qualifications — not by bashing their opponent. This year there was an open seat for the N.C. Supreme Court. Two experienced and capable N.C. Court of Appeals judges were running for it. Although these races are nonpartisan on the ballot, both the Democratic and Republican parties endorsed in the race and were hoping “their” candidate would help them tip the partisan balance of the court in their favor. The stakes were especially high. Every 10 years the legislature must redraw legislative and congressional boundaries. It’s an ugly and contentious process that almost always results in litigation. The N.C. Supreme Court hears those cases and both major political parties want judges they perceive as sympathetic to their side on the bench. In any other state we would have almost assuredly seen huge sums of money dumped into the race and that money would have funded relentless attack ads. As both candidates were sitting judges who have written literally thousands of court opinions, you can bet the ad-makers and political consultants would have cherrypicked one or two of these opinions for mischaracterization. Yet the outside money and the attack machine never got off the ground here. Certainly some credit for this civility is due to the individual candidates, Bob Hunter and the winner of the seat, Barbara Jackson. Both ran classy campaigns. But the public financing program kept the big money at bay. Outside spenders didn’t run attack ads and the public didn’t have to suffer through relentless negative commercials that only diminish confidence in our justice system. Our judicial elections are by no means perfect. But compared to other states, we are doing remarkably well at avoiding some of the more detrimental campaigns that undermine the integrity of our courts. Following our lead, Wisconsin and West Virginia recently approved similar programs for their judicial elections. Indeed, 2010 might eventually become known as “the year of big spending and negative campaigns” across the country, but here in North Carolina our judges bucked that trend. Instead, we saw that even in high-stakes races, candidates can wage vigorous, substantive campaigns without the mudslinging. • • • Damon Circosta is the executive director of the nonprofit, nonpartisan group N.C.

Needed: A time machine “Everybody in Vanity Fair must have remarked how well those live who are comfortably and thoroughly in debt; how they deny themselves nothing; how jolly and easy they are in their minds.” — William Makepeace Thackeray My Apple computer has a handy icon called “Time Machine.” By clicking it, I can find data that might have been misplaced, or return the computer to a specific configuration dating back to a specific date and time. That serves as a good metaphor when discussing the initial report by the Debt Commission. Though Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, co-chairs of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, start at the wrong end. They are recommending cuts in CAL some government spending THOMAS and advocating for higher taxes to pay for the rest. What is needed, instead, is a “history commission” to remind those who have forgotten — or never learned — the purpose of government and the role and responsibility of the individual. Like the Democrats’ health care “reform” measure, the Debt Commission’s initial recommendations, which will be followed by the full report Dec. 1, contain some good ideas, but the overall template remains flawed because it fails to address the main problem, which is government that encroaches on individual liberty, personal responsibility and living within one’s means. Federal spending now costs nearly $30,000 per household, according to Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation (www.heritage.org). That’s because, he writes, just “in the past three years, the budget has leapt by $727 billion and now stands at $3.5 trillion.” And that’s without the cost of Obamacare and the burden to Social Security and Medicare retiring baby boomers will add. The Debt Commission doesn’t touch Obamacare, which, says Heritage analyst Alison Acosta Fraser, will add “at least $2.5 trillion over its first real decade of implementation, when both revenue and benefit payouts are included.” The Debt Commission summary assumes a role for government the Founders never intended it to have. Where is the reminder of Thomas Paine’s dictum, “The govern-

ment is best which governs least,” or this from Thomas Jefferson: “... The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” Jefferson also said the “fore horse” of a society’s decline is public debt: “Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.” Are we to pay attention and learn from the likes of Paine and Jefferson only when their thoughts affirm what we wish to do in modern times, or were these men philosophers whose ideas are sound for all time? There is nothing in this preliminary report about the joy of liberty and the responsibility of individuals to first care for themselves, turning to government when all else has failed rather than at the start, which can only lead to dependency and subsidized failure. Every government agency and program should be periodically re-authorized. All spending should be justified before congressional committees responsible for oversight and reduced, or ended, if it fails to fulfill its purpose. The federal workforce must be reduced as the British coalition government has proposed doing in the UK. Individuals who make wise decisions, care for themselves and refuse Social Security and Medicare (which should be means-tested) ought to receive tax breaks. The government beast must be put on a diet. Rep. Tom Cole, Oklahoma Republican, is on to something with a bill he has introduced (H.R. 4946). He wants to “put teeth back in the 10th Amendment.” Cole argues “so much of the government overreach we’ve seen the past few years could be prevented just by enforcing the constitutional protections we already have.” His bill — the 10th Amendment Regulatory Reform Act — would give “special standing to certain, specific state executive and legislative leaders that would allow them to challenge in federal court regulations issued by federal administrative agencies attempting to implement new federal laws or presidential executive orders.” That’s a start, but it should be accompanied by history’s lessons, which have much to teach us about debt. Playwright Henrik Ibsen said: “There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.” That also applies to countries. • • • Contact Cal Thomas via e-mail at tmseditors@tribune.com.

Last year, the U.S. spent $651 billion on defense. The Pentagon’s administration can spend those resources the way it pleases, without accountability to the public. Is it worth it, for example, to spend another $737 million on a new war plane, such as the Stealth B-1 bomber? The statistics show that 59 percent of the U.S annual budget goes to military spending, only 6 percent of the budget goes to Health and Human Services, 6 percent to Transportation, 4 percent to Education, another 4 percent to the State Department and 4 percent to other programs. Smaller percentages go to the Department of Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Justice and Agriculture. NASA, energy, labor, Treasury, Department of the Interior, EPA and Commerce each receive 1 percent of the budget. The U.S. spends more on its military than any other major developed country in the world. It clearly shows that our priorities are misplaced. That is why I believe that the government panel which is advising us to rein in defense spending and focus instead on feeding, educating and supporting our communities is making the right decision. I also hope that other citizens will join me in calling on Congress to finally stop writing the Pentagon blank checks and focus on the important needs of the people here at home. — Miguel Reinoso

In early fall of this year, the Elizabeth Hanford Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross offered a caregivers’ course in which I enrolled. The course was very informative and interesting. There were speakers from various health-related organizations throughout Rowan County, as well as many hands-on experiences. We were introduced to different health issues that arise as we age and how to approach these as caregivers. Health-care expenses are rising so rapidly that more people will probably staying in the home for their care. Having that thought in mind was the reason that I enrolled in the caregivers’ course, and I encourage others to do so, as it will be offered again in the spring of 2011. I want to thank our coordinator, Rebecca Cleveland, for her work in making this presentation so successful. I would also encourage others to attend if they are a caregiver now or would just like to be prepared to adapt to the caregiver situation in the future. — Betty Kearns

Stocks fall on worries about rate hikes in Asia

Thinner Cheney joins George W. Bush at groundbreaking

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell for a fourth day as concerns over a slowdown in China and talks about a bailout for Irish banks combined to push the Dow Jones industrial average to its lowest level in a month. Asian markets started a global sell-off after South Korea’s central bank raised interest rates to curb inflation. Shares also fell in Shanghai and Hong Kong as speculation spread that China will take more steps to rein in its red-hot economy, which would dampen global demand for industrial goods. “The fact that China is taking actions to tighten things up over there is having a big ripple effect here,” said Bruce Simon, the chief investment officer at Ballentine Partners. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 178.47, or 1.6 percent, to 11,023.50, having dipped below 11,000 earlier in the day for the first time since Oct. 20. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 19.41, or 1.6 percent, to 1,178.34, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 43.98, or 1.8 percent, to 2,469.84.

DALLAS (AP) — Former President George W. Bush, joined by former administration officials including a noticeably thinner former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, broke ground Tuesday on his presidential center. More than 3,000 people, including friends, supporters and former administration officials attended the event under a giant white tent at Dallas’ Southern Methodist University. Outside, there were around 100 protesters joined by a handful of counter-protesters. “It is hard to believe there is this much excitement about shoveling dirt,” quipped Bush. The George W. Bush Presidential Center, located on the campus of former first lady Laura Bush’s alma mater, will include a library and a policy institute and is expected to open in February 2013. “Today’s groundbreaking marks the beginning of a journey,” Bush said. “We take the first step toward the construction of the presidential center, which will be a dynamic hub of ideas and actions, based upon timeless principles.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a blow to President Barack Obama, chances faded Tuesday for Senate approval of a major nuclear arms treaty with Russia this year, tripping up one of the administration’s top foreign policy goals: improving relations with Moscow. Obama has been pushing to get enough Republican support for a vote before the Democratic majority shrinks by six in January, and was optimistic just over the weekend about sealing perhaps his most significant foreign policy achievement. Part of the task included winning over Sen. Jon Kyl, the leading Republican senator on the New START agreement, who has demanded more funds for the U.S. nuclear arsenal as a condition for approving the treaty. The White House proposed adding $4.1 billion to modernize the arsenal and officials traveled to Kyl’s home state to sell the pact, according to a congressional aide. But the senator wasn’t sufficiently impressed. In a statement Tuesday, Kyl said he didn’t think the issue should be considered this year, citing a busy Senate agenda and the complexity of the treaty. Democrats are unlikely to be able to move forward without his support. “When Majority Leader Harry Reid asked me if I thought the treaty could be considered in the lame duck session, I replied I did not think so given the combination of other work Congress must do and the complex and unresolved issues related to START and modernization,” Kyl said.

Soldier given highest medal for heroism in Afghanistan battle WASHINGTON (AP) — Ambushed in Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta stepped into a “wall of bullets” and chased down two Taliban fighters who were carrying his mortally wounded friend away. Three years after acts of battlefield bravery, Giunta on Tuesday became the first living service member from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars to receive the nation’s top military award, the Medal of Honor. He’s the first living medal recipient in nearly 40 years. Far from the perilous ridge where his unit was attacked on a moonlit night in October 2007, Giunta stood in the glittering White House East Room as President Barack Obama hung the blue ribbon cradling the medal around Giunta’s neck. For Giunta, the tribute was bittersweet. It was a bloody day in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley and the two soldiers he rescued later died. “Although this is so positive, I would give this back in a second to have my friends with me right now,” the 25year-old from Hiawatha, Iowa, said afterward on the rain-soaked White House driveway.

Rangel guilty House ethics panel rules misconduct WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Rep. Charles Rangel, a longtime power in the U.S. House, violated its rules with financial misconduct, brought it discredit and will be punished, fellow lawmakers sitting as jurors ruled on Tuesday. Protesting the enduring stain on his four-decade congressional career, the 80-year-old Democrat said he was treated unfairly for “good faith mistakes.” His statement reflected the bitterness of an eight-month career slide, starting with an unrelated ethics ruling that forced him from his coveted chairmanship of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. The conduct often cited by critics was his failure to report income to the IRS from a unit he owned in a Dominican Republic resort — showing the chairman in charge of tax legislation shortchanged the IRS. Rangel, a founder of the Congressional Black Caucus, remains a political kingpin in New York’s famed Harlem neighborhood and is unlikely to resign. He won re-election earlier this month. Convicted on 11 of 13 charges of rules violations, his ordeal isn’t finished. The eight-member ethics panel that convicted him — four Democrats and four Republicans — now will write what is likely to be a stinging report to amplify its findings. Then, the full House ethics committee will conduct a hearing on the appropriate punishment for Rangel, the silver-haired, gravelly voiced and sartorially flashy veteran of 20 terms in Congress. Possible sanctions include a House vote deploring his conduct, a fine and denial of certain privileges. Rangel’s downfall, in part, came in the way he solicited money for a New York college center designed as a monument to himself. There also was his decade of misleading annual disclosures of his income and assets and his use of a subsidized New York apart-

ment — designated for residential use — as a campaign office. The panel deliberated over two days before its chairman, Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, made a bare-bones statement announcing the findings — leaving a full explanation for the upcoming written report. The conviction was a fresh setback for Democrats who lost control of the House to the GOP in the midterm elections, support for Republican candidates’ assertions of bad conduct. At his one-day trial on Monday, Rangel was reduced to pleading for a postponement — arguing that his lawyers abandoned him after he paid them some $2 million but could afford no more. The panel rejected his request, and Rangel walked out of the proceeding. “How can anyone have confidence in the decision of the ethics subcommittee when I was deprived of due process rights, right to counsel and was not even in the room?” Rangel complained on Tuesday. “I can only hope that the full committee will treat me more fairly and take into account my entire 40 years of service to the Congress before making any decisions on sanctions.” He called the panel’s findings “unprecedented” because there was no rebuttal evidence. He complained that the rejection of his appeal for more time violated “the basic constitutional right to counsel.” Rangel, echoing a statement he made in August in a speech to the House, added, “Any failings in my conduct were the result of good faith mistakes.” He said they were caused by “sloppy and careless record keeping but were not criminal or corrupt.” New York Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who attended Rangel’s fundraiser in August while campaigning to clean up New York politics, said, “It’s obviously a sad situation to experience.” “It’s important that people have full faith in the integrity in public service,

so it’s painful to watch,” Cuomo said Tuesday at a press event near Rochester. “But we’ll see what happens at the end of the process.” The eight-member jury panel was unanimous on most charges against Rangel. Members split 4-4 on a charge that he violated a ban on gifts because he was to have an office — and storage of his papers — at the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College of New York. Two counts charging him with misuse of Congress’ free mail privilege were merged into one. And the panel voted 7-1 on a final charge that he had brought discredit on the House. No breakdown was given on who voted no. The charges said the solicitation for the Rangel Center targeted foundations and businesses that were seeking official action from the House or had interests that might be substantially affected by Rangel’s congressional conduct. However, Rangel was not accused of using his influence to pass or defeat legislation. During Monday’s trial proceeding, the chief counsel for the House ethics committee, Blake Chisam, told the jury that Rangel could have received permission to solicit nonprofit foundations. However, he could not have used congressional stationery and staff as he was found to have done. Rangel had previously acknowledged some of the charges, including submission of 10 years’ worth of incomplete and inaccurate annual statements disclosing his assets and income. He also admitted he initially did not report his rental income from a unit he owned in the Dominican Republic. An apartment in Harlem’s Lennox Terrace complex housed the Rangel for Congress and National Leadership PAC political committees, although the lease terms said the unit was for living purposes only. Chisam had told the jury that other tenants were evicted at an increasing rate for violating the same lease terms.

Fiat returns to US with big hopes for small car AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Almost three decades after it slunk out of the U.S. market, Italian automaker Fiat is back, hoping it can erase lingering memories of poor-quality vehicles and make Americans fall in love with small cars. It’s a tall order, but Fiat isn’t one to shrink from a challenge. It took over management of a failing Chrysler Group last year and is close to making a profit there as it revamps Chrysler’s cars and trucks. Now, Fiat sees an opportunity to reintroduce its brand and get ahead in the fledgling U.S. small-car market. Fiat is unveiling two Fiat 500s at the Los Angeles Auto Show Wednesday, a threedoor hatchback and a convertible version. The hatchback is set to go on sale in the U.S. next month, with the convertible to follow in 2011. Electric and high-performance versions are planned in 2012, and a four-door version after that. Pricing won’t be announced until Wednesday, but Fiat said the 500 will be “significantly less” than BMW AG’s Mini Cooper, a similar car, which starts at $20,000. This is the first time Fiat has shown a car bound for North America since it pulled out of the market in 1983. Back then, cars like the Fiat Strada were widely derided as rust-prone and unreliable.

ASSociAted preSS

Laura J. Soave, head of the Fiat Brand for North America, stands next to a 2011 Fiat 500 in Auburn Hills, Mich. But that’s ancient history to U.S. car buyers. Laura, 38, who was appointed head of the Fiat brand in North America earlier this year, said there is very little knowledge of Fiat’s earlier poor quality among current buyers, who are drawn to the 500’s huggable look. The car has a rounded shape, high roof and circular headlights. The design evokes the original Fiat 500, which sold from 1957 to 1975 worldwide. The design alone will draw buyers, Soave said. “Then you tell them it’s Italian, and they think it’s cool, sexy, stylish,” Soave told the Associated Press in a recent interview. “That elevates it.” Fiat hasn’t totally erased its quality problems. The brand ranked last or near last this year in customer satis-

faction surveys in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, according to J.D. Power and Associates. But the 500 was tops in the mini-car category in the French survey, and it’s been popular with Europeans. More than 500,000 have sold since the car’s introduction in 2007. In U.S. terms, that’s equivalent to the annual sales of the Chevrolet Malibu or Ford Focus. Demand for small cars is higher in Europe, where gas is two to three times more expensive than in the U.S. Small cars have accounted for 44 percent of sales in Western Europe this year, but just 10 percent of U.S. sales. That doesn’t bode well for the 500, which is 7 inches shorter than BMW AG’s Mini Cooper. But Soave said she is not worried and that Fiat’s

sales goals are realistic. The company plans to sell 50,000 cars in North America in the first year, about the same number as Mini. It hopes to double that by 2014. Soave said one reason small car sales have been weak in the U.S. is a lack of good choices. Until now, buyers who wanted a sporty Italian car had to pay $100,000 or more for a Ferrari or Maserati. She said Americans are migrating to smaller things in other areas of their lives, like housing, and will gradually adopt smaller cars. Downsizing may even be essential as stricter fuel economy rules take effect in 2016. Fuel economy numbers haven’t been released for the North American 500, but the European one gets more than 40 miles per gallon. “We are going toward a marketplace that is much more populated by vehicles of this nature than traditional large cars and trucks,” said James Bell, a market analyst with Kelley Blue Book. Thad Kirk, a TV station technician from the Philadelphia area, reserved one of the 500 first-edition 500s that Fiat let customers order this summer. He’s itching to replace his Honda Accord. “The Accord gets me to work, but it’s a boring car and it’s not fuel efficient,” he said. “The 500 has good mileage and it’ll have some pizazz to it, some soul to it.”

London diamond dealer pays record $46M for rare gem GENEVA (AP) — A rare pink diamond smashed the world record for a jewel at auction Tuesday, selling for more than $46 million to a well-known gem dealer. London jeweler Laurence Graff paid $46,158,674, for the 24.78-carat “fancy intense pink” diamond, which he immediately named “The Graff Pink.” “It is the most fabulous diamond I’ve seen in the history of my career and I’m delighted to have bought it,” Graff said in a statement released by auction house Sotheby’s, which offered the stone at its Geneva sale. The sale price was almost double the $24.3 million achieved by the blue 35.56carat Wittelsbach-Graff diamond in 2008. That was also bought by Graff. “This is the highest price ever bid for a jewel at auction,” said David Bennett, the head of Sotheby’s jewelry division, as the auction room in Geneva’s luxury Beau Rivage hotel erupted into applause.

Prince William gets engaged to Kate Middleton LONDON (AP) — Thirty years after the fairy-tale nuptials with the unhappy ending, Britain will finally have another big royal wedding: Its dashing helicopterpilot prince — second in line to the throne — will marry the lovely commoner who may someday become queen. Prince William and Kate Middleton bubbled with joy Tuesday evening in their first public appearance since the palace announced their engagement after more than eight years of dating. Their wedding will be next spring or summer. In a poignant symbol for William, his betrothed wore the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that belonged to his late mother, Diana. “I thought it was quite nice because obviously she’s not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all. This was my way of keeping her close to it all,” William said. While the romance of the two 28-year-olds is the stuff that dreams are made of, it is no exaggeration to say that the future of the Windsor dynasty depends to no small degree on the success of their union.

Wake falls to VCU BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

DURHAM — A sign of just how dominant Duke’s Duke 79 defense has been so Miami (Oh) 45 far this season: The latest opponent was relieved to simply escape Cameron Indoor Stadium without setting any records for futility. The top-ranked Blue Devils routed Miami of Ohio 79-45 on Tuesday night behind 17 points from Seth Curry and a defense that held the RedHawks to 33 percent shooting. “When you’re getting beat pretty thoroughly, first thing is, you realize, ‘OK, they’re beating us,’” Miami

coach Charlie Coles said. “And the second thought you have is, ‘OK, they’re beating us pretty good.’ And the third thought you have is, ‘Uh-oh, are we going to set any records tonight?’” Not quite. The RedHawks cobbled together just enough offense late to avoid the mark for fewest points scored against a Mike Krzyzewski-coached Duke team. Two of his opponents — UNC Greensboro in 1997 and Winthrop in 2002 — managed only 37 points. Kyrie Irving added 13 points and Mason Plumlee had 10 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for the Blue

Braves trade for Uggla

WINSTON-SALEM — Behind its VCU 90 fullcourt W. Forest 69 pressure and a senior point guard, Virginia Commonwealth is on its way to New York for the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Joey Rodriguez had 15 of his 18 points after halftime to help the Rams beat Wake Forest 90-69 on Tuesday night in the tournament’s second round. Bradford Burgess scored a game-high 25 points for the Rams (3-0),

while former Wake Forest player Jamie Skeen added 15 points against his former team. After leading by just three at halftime, VCU harassed the Demon Deacons with fullcourt pressure and scored 22 points off turnovers in the second half to turn the game into an ugly rout. “It comes down to these guys really wanting to get after it and get out there and play with energy for 94 feet,” second-year VCU coach Shaka Smart said. “But I think if you ask them, it’s a fun style of play.” The Rams certainly

BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Power-hitting second baseman Dan Uggla was dealt from the Florida Marlins to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday for infielder Omar Infante and left-hander Mike Dunn in the first trade of the general managers’ meetings. A twotime AllStar, Uggla hit .287 33 with homers and 105 RBIs last season and had been UGGLA discussing a possible contract extension with Florida. He made $7.8 million this year, is eligible for salary arbitration and can become a free agent after the 2011 World Series. “We’re satisfied he’s here for one year,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said. “He’s a kind of guy we’d like to make longterm.” The trade reunites Uggla with former Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, hired by the Braves to succeed Bobby Cox following the longtime Atlanta manager’s retirement. Florida is close to replacing some of the lost power with free-agent catcher John Buck, who is nearing agreement on an $18 million, three-year contract. Martin Prado split time between second and third this year for the Braves, and the trade could be a sign Atlanta is unsure whether third baseman Chipper Jones can return next year from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee. Jones turns 39 in April. Wren said Uggla will play second. “Martin plays left field as his primary position in winter ball, though he’s not

Hornets Dixon, Kennedy sign BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

Salisbury golfer Roy Dixon’s pursuit of a second individual state title begins in a few months. Fellow senior Madison Kennedy will be closing her prep career as a member of the girls soccer team at the same time.

Dixon and Kennedy were the guests of honor for a signing party Tuesday in Salisbury’s cafeteria. Surprisingly, they’ll play the same sport at the collegiate level. “I thought I’d be going somewhere to play soccer and never thought it would be golf,” Kennedy said. “I couldn’t be more excited about it now.” Kennedy, whose sophomore season

with the soccer team ended because of a knee injury, will continue her golf career at Catawba. Dixon is headed to UNC-Greensboro, which is 80th in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin collegiate rankings. He considered trying to walk on at North Carolina and had an interest in two other schools: High Point and William & Mary.

“(UNC-Greensboro) has a good team, and it’ll be an opportunity for me to play,” said Dixon, who plans to double-major in business and political science. “I didn’t want to try and overdo myself and go somewhere where I wouldn’t play.” Six months ago, Dixon shot a 1-over

Dynamic Vick playing like an MVP BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press

AssociAted presss

Michael Vick had his way with the redskins.

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick had just scored after another dazzling run against the Redskins when Eagles fans at a local sports bar began chanting: “MV-P! M-V-P! M-V-P!” It was a far cry from what Vick was being called a few years ago. Once one of the NFL’s biggest and highest paid stars, his career was in ruins and his life in shambles. He was broke, reviled and relegated to being a situational No. 3 quarterback after serv-

ing 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring. Now he’s on top again, playing maybe better than ever, and just in time to become perhaps the biggest free agent on the market next year. Vick may have had the best all-around game by a quarterback in NFL history Monday night against Washington. He threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns, and ran for 80 yards and two scores in Philadelphia’s 59-28 victory. So much for everyone who protested his arrival in Philadelphia and threatened to boycott games.

“I thought what he did was disgusting, but the guy paid his dues and deserves a second chance,” said Shaun Young, an 18-year season ticket holder who was inducted into the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association’s Hall of Fame last year in Canton, Ohio. “He’s playing incredible. I respect people’s opinions that don’t like him, but isn’t this world based on second chances?” Since signing with the Eagles in August 2009, he’s been a model citizen off

DUKE FROM 1B

AssOciAted pResss

Wake Forest forward Ari stewart (20) goes for a shot as Joey Rodriguez (12) and Jamie skeen (21) watch.

WAKE FROM 1B looked like they were having a good time, from the way they kept diving on the floor to grab a loose ball to the way their bench celebrated as the final minutes ticked away. And while the Demon Deacons (1-2) were the host school in this bracket and a headliner in the tournament, VCU looked more like a top seed playing on this court. The Rams used a 29-8 second-half run to erase a fourpoint deficit and blow the game open, and their fullcourt pressure turned every possession — even an inbound pass — into an adventure for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest had 15 turnovers in the second half, with several coming in the backcourt, that VCU efficiently converted into blowout-building baskets. Burgess got the Rams off to a strong start by scoring 21 first-half points and going 4 for 4 from 3-point range. He cooled off after halftime, but Rodriguez bounced back from a 1-for-6 start and hit three 3s after the break while directing the Rams’ attack. “I was coming off screens and reading them real well,

and when I came off, there was nobody there,” Rodriguez said. “So a lot of the shots were really wide open shots that weren’t contested. If they’re good shots, I’m confident with taking them.” Compare that to the Demon Deacons, who lost their only true point guard — freshman Tony Chennault — to a broken foot in the season opener. C.J. Harris finished with 10 turnovers while serving as the primary ballhandler against the press, though he had plenty of help fumbling the ball away. “They did a great job of getting up and into us,” said Harris, who had 10 points and nine rebounds. “Their length and quickness was a big problem.” Ari Stewart scored 18 points to lead the Demon Deacons, who are off to a shaky start under new coach Jeff Bzdelik. For stretches, the Demon Deacons played some of their best basketball. After trailing by 14 in the first half, Wake Forest hit five straight shots to cut the deficit to 43-40 at halftime, then followed with a 3 from Stewart to take its first lead at 46-45 with 18:17 left. Things changed quickly when the Rams turned up the intensity with their pressure.

Devils (2-0), who shot 43 percent from the field, hit 40 percent of their 3-pointers, held a 48-27 rebounding advantage and used two overwhelming runs in the first half to effectively end it by halftime. Curry, the younger brother of Golden State guard Stephen Curry who sat out last season after transferring from Liberty, was 3 of 4 from 3-point range in his second game in a Duke uniform. “The past year, it felt like it was a long time, so it was fun to get back out there,” Curry said. “I felt a lot more comfortable today because it was the second game back, and I just went out there and was aggressive and knocked down some shots.” His production more than made up for an off night from preseason AllAmerican Kyle Singler, who finished with eight points on 3-of-11 shooting and was held to single-digit scoring for just the second time in 27 games. “It just shows the balance of our team,” Singler said. “We have a lot of weapons.” Krzyzewski moved three wins shy of 800 at Duke and Nolan Smith added 10 points for the Blue Devils, who were barely tested in winning their 12th straight game dating to last season’s run through the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments. They picked up their 21st consecutive victory at home and extended their decade-long winning streak against nonconference teams at Cameron to 79. But after two wins by an average of 30.5 points, things are about to get much tougher for the reigning national cham-

duke coach Mike Krzyzewski yells instructions during the Blue devils’ rout. pions: The coming weeks feature matchups against either No. 11 Gonzaga or No. 3 Kansas State in the next stage of this tournament, a visit from No. 2 Michigan State and a neutral-site meeting with No. 16 Butler in a rematch of last season’s title game. “Our schedule is set up to be difficult for us,” Krzyzewski said. “But we are improving. The effort, our kids are playing very hard. So we have to keep building.” Miami, the lowest-scoring team in Division I last season, had serious trouble generating good looks against a Duke defense that prides itself on using pressure to maintain a fast pace, create turnovers and turn them into easy transition baskets. The RedHawks were determined not to let them run, so Coles said they all but

abandoned the offensive glass on purpose in an effort to take away the Blue Devils’ fast break. As a result, Miami didn’t get its first offensive rebound until there were about 5 minutes left in the half and didn’t score on consecutive trips downcourt until the final minute before the break. By that point, it was a 20-point game, and the RedHawks didn’t get closer than 17 in the second half. Nick Winbush scored 14 points for the Miami (1-1), which lost its 15th straight game against ranked opponents. “I knew it would be a tough task for our ball club, because I was wondering before the game — and I’m serious when I say this — how many points can we score against these guys?” Coles said. “We’re just not ready offensively.”

No. 3 Kansas State defeats No. 22 Hokies Associated Press

The college roundup ... MANHATTAN, Kan. — Curtis Kelly was in street clothes and Jacob Pullen was on the bench — not exactly the ideal place for Kansas State's only two seniors while facing an experienced and well-traveled Virginia Tech. Martavious Irving, Rodney McGruder and Nick Russell came off the bench to hold things together in the first half and then helped spark a 28-9 run when Pullen got back, carrying the thirdranked Wildcats to a 73-57 victory Friday over the 22nd-ranked Hokies. No. 4 Ohio St. 93, No. 9 Florida 75 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Billy Donovan believes No. 4 Ohio State will be better off without All-America guard Evan Turner. Sound crazy?

Newton still in news

UConn survives Baylor Associated Press

The college football notebook ... An attorney for the former Mississippi State player who helped spark the NCAA’s investigation of Auburn quarterback Cam Newton said Tuesday his client has been interviewed by the FBI. Phil Abernethy wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press that John Bond met with federal law enforcement and state investigators Tuesday and that he “cooperated fully with both agencies and has provided them all facts known by him.” Newton’s father, Cecil, has been accused of seeking cash during his son’s recruitment. Cecil Newton has denied any wrongdoing and Mississippi State officials have said all of its employees acted appropriately. Bond, a former Mississippi State quarterback, told MSU officials in January he had been asked for $180,000 by a former teammate in ex-

Rogers told a Dallas radio show he met with Cecil Newton and two MSU assistant coaches in a Starkville, Miss., motel on Nov. 27, 2009. Rogers said during that meeting, Cecil Newton asked for between $100,000 and $180,000 in exchange for his son to sign with Mississippi State. The allegations have cast a dark shadow over an otherwise dream season Newton and No. 2 Auburn (11-0), which has clinched a spot in the SEC championship game.

I’m sure he’s saddened by not being a Marlin anymore. But he’ll be exited to be a Brave.” Florida offered Uggla a $24 million, threeyear extension during the summer, a person familiar with the talks said, speaking on condition of anonymity because those details were not announced. The person said Uggla countered with a $71 million, five-year proposal. In recent weeks, the Marlins increased their offer to $48 million over four years, and Uggla remained with his initial proposal.

Panthers make moves

HARTFORD, Conn. — Maya Moore missed, and suddenly Connecticut’s grip on women’s college basketball was in jeopardy. Baylor had one more shot to topple the No. 1 Huskies and end their record winning streak. But the No. 2 Lady Bears simply ran out of time, their last try a little too short and a little too late. Coach Geno Auriemma and UConn rallied from a late eight-point deficit and held on for their 80th straight victory, 65-64 Tuesday night — by far the toughest test since the streak started exactly two years ago. Showing they could win the close ones, too, the Huskies overcame 6-foot-8 Baylor star Brittney Griner and a 56-48 gap with 6:42 to go. They moved within eight victories of matching the 88-game string put together by UCLA’s men’s teams in the 1970s. “I thought we played great for long stretches. Obviously Baylor is a great team and they made their run,” Auriemma said. “Then the improbable happened, people other than Maya began scoring.” “They don’t know what it’s like to come back from a run,” he said. It’s true. The Huskies have spent the last two seasons rolling over every opponent, waiting for a real challenge. They got one Tuesday night. Moore scored 30 points, but it was freshman Bria Hartley who saved the Huskies after they wasted a 15-point lead early in the second half. Moore missed from the corner with 6 seconds left as the shotclock went off. Having just used its last timeout, Baylor had no choice once Melissa Jones grabbed the rebound. The Bears had to get to the basket. Odyssey Sims brought the ball up the court but her 30-foot attempt was nowhere close. “Do you see us crying? Could we have won the game,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “I learned I have a talented basketball team,” she said. Auriemma covered his head with hands as he went to meet Mulkey at midcourt. “I think there’s always something cool when you do something for the first time with a group of people,” Auriemma said. “You know you don’t have all the answers. For the last two years it’s been let’s do that. Now it’s not going to be like that.”

CHARLOTTE — Unsure of Jimmy Clausen’s status because of a concussion, the Carolina Panthers promoted quarterback Brian St. Pierre from the practice squad on Tuesday. The Panthers made room on the 53-man roster by waiving running back Andre Brown a week after claiming him from Indianapolis. Clausen, who took over as the starter after Matt Moore’s season-ending shoulder injury, sustained a concussion late in Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay. The Panthers have complained Clausen may have been injured on an illegal hit to the head by Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib that wasn’t penalized. If Clausen can’t play Sunday against Baltimore, fellow rookie Tony Pike would make his first NFL start. The sixth-round pick from Cincinnati completed six of 12 passes for 47 yards in one relief appearance against New Orleans this month. The only other QB was rookie Armanti Edwards, who has been playing receiver outside a few wildcat snaps. The 30-year-old St. Pierre has thrown five NFL passes, completing two for 12 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Boston College product has played for Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Arizona. Carolina signed him to the practice squad on Friday. The Panthers (1-8) also have concerns with their offensive line with left guard Travelle Wharton in a protective boot earlier this week because of a turf toe injury. It leaves Carolina with only six healthy offensive linemen after Jeff Otah was placed on injured reserve last week.

Former UNc kicker Jeff Reed (3) was let go by pittsburgh.

Steelers cut kicker Reed Associated Press

The NFL notebook ... PITTSBURGH — For eight years, the Pittsburgh tolerated Jeff Reed’s offfield incidents and had no issues with his platinum-dyed hair and quirkiness. What they couldn’t forgive were his misses. Reed, who began the season as one of the 10 most accurate kickers in NFL history but has been erratic all season, was cut Tuesday and replaced by former Redskins and Cowboys kicker Shaun Suisham. “It’s unlike other positions where you can simply bench someone and go to their backup,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “There’s only one kicker on a football team, so you don’t make a decision lightly when you have to make a move. We’re very respectful of the cumulative body of work by Jeff here, but at this time we felt it was appropriate to make a change.” The Steelers won two Super Bowls with Reed, who was 8 for 8 during the 2005 and 2008 playoffs. He had one of his best seasons last year, going 27 of 31, but has struggled since missing twice during a 15-9, seasonopening overtime victory over Atlanta. Reed has missed seven of 22 attempts overall, including all four between the 40and 49-yard lines. He was 4 of 9 at Heinz Field, where

swirling winds and mushy grass make kicking difficult. Reed’s biggest misses came from 49 and 45 yards when the Steelers (6-3) lost 17-14 to rival Baltimore (6-3) in a potentially pivotal AFC North game on Oct. 3. MCNABB LANDOVER, Md. — Nothing is straightforward about Donovan McNabb these days. It turns out the $40 million he is supposed to be guaranteed in his new contract could turn out to be a mere $3.5 million. McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, clarified some of the details of McNabb's deal Tuesday. He says while the contract is worded so that it has "$40 million in guarantees," the Redskins do have an option to cut McNabb at the end of the season with no further money due. LABOR TALKS NEW YORK — The NFL Players Association wants two bye weeks and bigger rosters to accept the proposed 18game regular season. The union's counterproposal also includes a potential expansion of practice squad size and a two-thirds reduction of offseason workouts. DOLPHINS DAVIE, Fla. — Quarterback Tyler Thigpen took practice snaps for the first time this season Tuesday, while Chad Henne sat out the team's only workout in preparation for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears.

VICK FROM 1B the field, working with the Humane Society of the United States and speaking to school and community groups about the cruelty of dogfighting. On the field, Vick has been downright spectacular, even more so than when he was a superstar with the Atlanta Falcons. “I feel like I’m playing the best football only because of the coaches that I have, the guys I’m playing with. The offensive line is playing great,” Vick said. “I have a great group of guys around me. Just as I’m doing a great job, those guys are doing a great job as well.” Fickle fans who were outraged when the Eagles signed him to a two-year deal are now demanding the team give him a new contract. Vick, who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2008, could be a top free agent on the market next year if Philadelphia lets him get that far. Teams who weren’t willing to trade a high draft pick for him when the Eagles made him available last offseason just may be lining up to throw money at him.

“The other 31 teams out there need to save their money and vote for Michael Vick or try to get a bid for him because the way he was looking out there, he was looking awesome,” Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth said. Some would argue that if Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb can get a $78 million, five-year deal from the Redskins, the 30-year-old Vick certainly should be worth more right now. He’s younger and arguably playing better than McNabb did when he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2004. McNabb was traded by the Eagles to Washington in April and the rest, well, is history. “I could have never envisioned this,” Vick said. “Signing here, I didn’t even think I’d be starting as the quarterback this year. So, all of this is paramount for me, but at the same time it’s somewhat surprising.” Hard to believe that Vick’s No. 7 jersey, which was being sold at clearance prices last December, is a hot item nowadays. “He’s my favorite player,” said Ashley Walton, one of many fans wearing a Vick jersey at a sports bar in South Philadelphia. “I know what he did was wrong and it’s something some people will never forgive him for, but he went to jail and he did his time.”

Alternative medicines bug ‘real’ doctors To overruff Dear Dr. Gott: In a recent column, you recommended consulting a doctor about using bee pollen. When was the last time you consulted an MD on a nonmedical treatment? I have. They ridicule you. In fact, when I wanted physical therapy rather than prescription drugs and surgery for hip replacement, my primary care doctor wrote me and indicated I should not bother coming back. DR. PETER You are out of touch with the GOTT stone-age drug-company bed partners that currently serve as doctors. Don’t advise people to talk to their doctors without knowing anything about the subject. Dear Reader: I must admit that at one time I thought the only way for a patient to improve was through prescription drugs, and, when all else failed, surgery might be considered. It took years, and it certainly wasn’t easy for me to realize that patients want options.

I may not know how doctors are “supposed” to approach medical situations, but it is time for you to find another physician with an open mind. Some problems are well-handled with alternative drugs. You’re lucky to be strong enough to fight the system. Good luck. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Reports “Compelling Home Remedies” and “Herbs and Healing Fads.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report made payable to Newsletter and forwarded on to PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print out an order form from my website www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I enjoy your column. I’m a 68-year-old female in good health but recently developed unsightly red bruise marks on my arms and legs. These seem to occur without my even knowing that I have hit something. Sometimes the skin breaks, and it is hard to stop the bleeding. My dermatologist says the bruis-

es are due to lost skin elasticity. I grew up in an era when sunscreen was unknown. Do you know of anything that would help? The only thing the dermatologist recommended was to moisturize. Dear Readder: You share a common problem with many other people. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses some of the fat that cushions our blood vessels against injury. While bruising can occur on any part of the body, the backs of hands seem extremely susceptible. This isn't generally an indication of an underlying medical condition but is attributed to several conditions. Years of excessive sun exposure, either today or in years past, can break down collagen and elastin fibers in the deep layers of our skin. Some medications, specifically anticoagulants (such as Coumadin and aspirin) or corticosteroids can weaken skin and blood vessels. Speak with your physician to determine whether any drugs you might be on have bruising as a known side effect. Finally, some medical conditions and/or bleeding disorders can

result in spontaneous bruising called ecchymosis. Your options are limited. Take precautions to prevent banging into things. Avoid direct sun exposure unless you are appropriately covered with sunblock. Wear longsleeved shirts and long pants to cover your lesions until they clear. Do not shower or bathe in extremely hot water, as it will dry your skin out faster. Pat your skin dry following bathing rather than rub briskly with a towel. Keep your skin well moisturized with a topical cream or lotion containing petroleum jelly, lanolin, or vitamin E. Eat a well-balanced diet and exercise as much as possible. 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

Celebrity DJ, Darrin Ebron, among 14 indicted in cocaine ring LOS ANGELES (AP) — A celebrity disc jockey and 13 others have been indicted in an alleged cocaine ring that authorities say used private jets to shuttle drugs from coast to coast. Among those facing drug trafficking and mon-

ey laundering charges is Darrin Ebron, who runs Goodlife American Clothing and was the DJ at Eddie Murphy’s 2008 nuptials in Bora Bora. The 43-year-old Ebron and three others are being sought by investigators. Several arrests have

already been made. If convicted, each of the defendants could face up to life in prison. Authorities allege the ring smuggled hundreds of pounds of cocaine via private jets from Southern California to Baltimore.

They seized nearly 300 kilograms of cocaine and $1.1 million. Dana Sarabeck, a former spokeswoman for Ebron’s clothing line, declined to comment. The phone number to Goodlife’s office was disconnected.

or not to overruff

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Thomas Jefferson said, “Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.” That applies to many places, including the bridge table. If you can stay cool, allowing your brain to keep counting, you will do well. But if you get ruffled, letting past errors or the opponents’ luck distract you, more bad results are sure to follow. Today, we are going to look at defensive overruffs. Normally when a defender has a chance to overruff the declarer or dummy, he should take it. However, there are times when doing so is an error. Before we get to the guidelines, though, you are West, defending against four spades. You lead the heart eight, starting a high-low with your doubleton. Partner wins with his nine, cashes the heart ace, and continues with the heart jack, which declarer ruffs with the spade queen. Would you overruff or not? Consider your two plays: overruffing and discarding. If you overruff, declarer will take your shift, draw trumps, and claim. In contrast, if you discard, you will have K-102 of spades over his A-J-7 and must get two trump tricks to defeat the contract.

Here is the general rule: Overruff with any singleton, doubleton king-low, doubleton queen-low, or tripleton queenlow-low. Do not overruff with doubleton ace, king-third or queen-fourth if you must score the top honor later and may score an extra trick with one of your lower cards (unless it is clearly important for you immediately to shift to another suit, where partner has one trick or more to cash).

GOLF FROM 1B

bret strelow/SALISBURY POST

Hornet seniors Madison Kennedy, left, and Roy Dixon each signed college scholarships on Tuesday afternoon at Salisbury High.

145 at Keith Hills in Buies Creek to win the 2A title by two strokes. Troy Beaver, Alex Lee, Joseph Rusher, Alex Nianouris and Clark Alcorn also contributed as Salisbury’s team settled for second place. Dixon’s interest in the Spartans grew following a summer round with Robert Hoadley, a UNCG sophomore who was the Carolinas Golf Association’s top-ranked player in North Carolina. Dixon played a week later in the N.C. Junior Championship at Forest Oaks — the Spartans’ home course — and performed well with UNCG coach Terrance Stewart in attendance. Dixon will enter his senior season at Salisbury as the leader of a group with state title aspirations, and his teammates were on hand Tuesday to celebrate the signings. “It’s cool being kind of the first one because now I can help the younger guys go through what they’re about to go through with the college process,” Dixon said. “With Madison, it’s a connection between the two of us that’s pretty cool.” Kennedy, who will play for coach Sam Gealy at Catawba, finished 12th in the 1A/2A/3A state championships earlier this month. Lily Yatawara, Amber Lyerly, Madeline Hoskins and Brooke Smith were other members of Salisbury’s secondplace team.

Roy Dixon is surrounded by his parents (Glenn and Beth) as well as Salisbury golf coach Dale Snyder. Kennedy tore the MCL in her left knee in the 2009 soccer playoffs and focused on improving at golf during her rehabilitation. She wore a large brace at the beginning of her junior golf season and tied for ninth place at the state championships later that year. Appalachian State, High Point and Wingate were the other colleges on Kennedy’s short list. “After you have a bad injury to your knee in soccer, you won’t be the same,” Kennedy said. “I was out for a really long time, so I was like, ‘I can practice golf now and have something to do.’ “I started getting better, taking lessons and liking it more, and I realized it could take me somewhere.”
