One person dead after vehicle hits trailer on U.S. 601 BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
A driver was killed when a minivan collided with a tractor-trailer that was crossways on U.S. 601 Thursday night. A witness said the driver of the tractor-trailer, owned by Tri State Transport of Salisbury, lives on U.S. 601 near East Ridge Road and was backing into his driveway when the van hit the side of the trailer about 8 p.m.
“There are no skid marks, so he either didn’t see it or saw it too late,” State Highway Patrol Sgt. E. Suttles said. Suttles said the Pontiac Montana was likely going the speed limit when it collided with the truck. The trooper said he does not suspect drugs or alcohol were factor. Labrica Everhart, 12, was sitting on her front porch across the street with her brother, Da’Shawn Lowery, when she saw the accident. “I saw the (van) coming at full
speed toward the truck,” she said. “It’s like he didn’t even see it.” Suttles said the truck driver’s brother was standing on the passenger side of the truck watching for traffic when the collision occurred. “There was nobody on the other side,” Suttles said. The van driver was dead when emergency responders got to the wreck, which happened in front of the Franklin Volunteer Fire DepartSarah Campbell/SALISBURY POST

Julian H. Robertson Jr. is a lot of things: Noted hedge fund manager. Philanthropist. Golf resort owner. Wine producer. Knight. He’s also a native of Salisbury, and he paid his hometown high compliments during a visit Thursday. If it were up to him, Robertson said, he would insist that every child in America spend at least two years growing up in Salisbury. He said he never has seen the city — painted brilliantly in fall colors — look prettier. And he

sensed from his travels Thursday that the Salisbury-Rowan community as a whole insists on excellence in schools. As for the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation, which he endowed in 1997 with an $18 million gift, Robertson praised the local board that has awarded more than $23 million in grants within Rowan County over the past 13 years. “No one spends the money any wiser,” Robertson said. The foundation is succeeding because its managers live here, love Salisbury, do things on their own to make the community better and realize they can use the Robertson money as an addendum, Robertson said. He spent a full day Thursday

Schools ponder office proposal BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education could discuss as soon as January converting a church campus to school administrative offices. The school board’s buildings and grounds subcommittee discussed an offer from Cornerstone Church at its Thursday meeting. The two sides have discussed a purchase price between $4.5 million and $5.5 million. Assistant Superintendent Gene Miller said he told Pastor Bill Godair the school system doesn’t have the money to purchase the property outright, but there may be another way. “Not only has Pastor Godair talked with us, he’s talked to a banker, and they are actually will-

The N.C. Department of Transportation will temporarily close a section of Gold Hill Road (State Road 2408) between Mount Pleasant Road and Lower Stone Church Road in Kannapolis at 9 a.m. Monday, weather permitting. The $368,000 contract was awarded to TCB Builders LLC of Lexington to replace the existing bridge over Black Run Creek. The project is scheduled for completion in March 2011. Motorists traveling on Gold Hill Road should use the following signed detour: Gold Hill Road to Mount Pleasant Road to Klutz Road to Lower Stone Church Road back to Gold Hill Road.
Board OKs tuition hike for UNC-Chapel Hill CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The governing board at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has agreed tuition should go up by 6.5 percent across the board next fall to counter expected spending reductions from the General Assembly. The UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees voted Thursday in favor of the recommendation of its finance committee and Chancellor Holden Thorp. The student body president voted no. The percentage is the highest the campus can seek for in-state rates. The UNC Board of Governors would still have to sign off on the proposal, and the General Assembly could step in and seek even higher tuition. In-state tuition and fees would go up to about $7,000. The increase would generate $15 million.
Parents of dead girl skip court appearances LENOIR (AP) — The father and stepmother of a disabled girl who North Carolina police say was killed skipped opportunities to appear in court Thursday on charges unrelated to the girl’s disappearance. Adam and Elisa Baker had court hearings scheduled on misdemeanor charges. Neither appeared in person. Adam Baker is free on bail. His lawyer, Mark Killian, declined to discuss the investigation into Zahra Baker’s death. Adam Baker, 33, is holding up “as well as can be expected under the circumstances,” Killian said. Adam Baker is scheduled to face other charges unrelated to Zahra’s disappearance in neighboring Catawba County on Friday. Police said last week they found a bone belonging to Zahra Baker at one location and other remains at a second site about five miles away. Investigators haven’t said how she died. Lawyers for the girl’s stepmother, Elisa Baker, 42, said in court documents the woman told police that Zahra Baker’s body was dismembered after her death. Elisa Baker guided investigators to remote locations where the girl’s remains were dumped, her attorneys said.
Journalism teacher resigns over racy texts CHAPEL HILL (AP) — A journalism instructor at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill has resigned amid allegations he sent sexually explicit text messages to a female student, a newspaper reported Thursday. Monty Cook, 46, submitted a resignation letter Tuesday, according to a report by The News & Observer of Raleigh. Journalism school Dean Jean Folkerts said she contacted the university’s lawyers after the student’s former boyfriend confronted Cook about the texts on Nov. 12. Folkerts then met with the student, who confirmed that she and Cook had been in a relationship for several weeks, according a letter from Folkerts to Cook that the university released Thursday.

Christian Ortiz, a freshman at North Rowan High School, said Deyanira “Dee” Rios de la Cruz was more than a coworker and friend. She was “like a big sister.” Ortiz was eating lunch with his friends at school when he heard his coworker and friend had been killed. “I thought they just robbed the store, and then they told me he killed her,” he said. “I

couldn’t believe it. ... When I came (to the store) after school, I realized it was real.” De la Cruz worked alongside Ortiz every Monday through Friday for the past six months. “We had a great friendship,” he said. “She was always laughing, always smiling. She liked to laugh a lot and make friends. She was a nice girl.” Ortiz says he and other employees know everyone who comes into the store, and
SKETCH FROM 1a ment “continues to follow leads.” “It’s not like we’re about to make an arrest tomorrow,” he said, and encourages people with information about the case to come forward. De la Cruz was fatally shot during a robbery at the Latin Mix store at 429 N. Salisbury Ave. last Friday. “If people know anything, we ask that they please contact us, because we certainly need their assistance. If they have information we would like for them to come forward and sit down with us.” The reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those involved is now at $1,700. Several customers and employees hope the gunman will come forward soon. “If this guy has any heart, any feelings, he would come forward and say he’s sorry,” Mitchel Snider said, a customer who knew de la Cruz well. “I hope they catch the bastard,” he said. “It’s totally senseless to take a life for any amount of money. “I thought about that girl being 20 years old and I thought about my son; I couldn’t imagine. I would like to ask him to his face, ‘Do you have any remorse? Any remorse for taking that girl’s life?’” The owner of Latin Mix, Lillian Spears, said de la Cruz was killed for a little less than $100. “She gave him the money,” Spears said. “Just get the money and go. “It’s been rough. It’s been really hard.” Spears has doubts the suspect is from the area, but she hopes that if he is someone will come forward with information. “If this person indeed is a local person, a family member or a friend must

FROM 1a ing to finance the property for us,” Miller said. “They could allow a couple of years at no interest until the economy gets a little better or our revenue stream gets better — when we would have some money to pay.” County tax records show the church property to be valued at $2.34 million before the new event center was built two years ago. Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education Chair Jim Emerson said a lot depends on the costs involved and he would like to get more information. “If we could move into there and close (all but one other building), and we could do it cheaper than what we’re paying on utilities and everything, this may be a deal,” Emerson said. “Now, I don’t know how much of a retrofit we would have to do over there.” Board member Karen South Carpenter replied that the building wouldn’t be hard to convert into office space. She said the building should have the wiring and climate control to support the system’s technology which the old Department of Social Services building offered by the county doesn’t have. Superintendent Judy Grissom said nursery and daycare rooms alongside the event center could be used for offices, and Miller said the main church building has several large rooms that could house whole departments. Miller told the Post Tuesday that the 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. Carpenter said some commenters have since criticized the number of exceptional children staff members. “What a lot of people don’t understand is that many of those positions are mandated by federal guidelines,” she said. “With the majority of those, no local choice is involved.” Even though it likely can’t
everyone is like family. “I’m not scared,” he said. “I don’t think they’re going to come back. I try not to think about it.” He suspects the gunman had been in the store before. “I think he knew what time we were open and knew there was only one worker (in the mornings),” he said. Instead of seeing de la Cruz’s smile every night, he watches over a donation box for her family, and a shrine of flowers and cards left by cus-
know about it,” she said. “And they’re not doing the neighbors, family members or themselves any favors by keeping quiet.” ••• De la Cruz normally worked afternoons, but she switched shifts with a coworker to pick up extra hours to help her family pay bills. Her mother dropped her off at Latin Mix about 7:30 last Friday morning. Spears said de la Cruz asked her mother to stay and have coffee, but her mother said she was going to go home and then come back soon for a coffee. Police responded to a panic alarm at Latin Mix shortly before 8 a.m. Spears said that little blood was in the store, and that investigators never found the bullet casing. De la Cruz talked DE LA CRUZ with Chief James as medical workers tried to save her life, and James told Spears that de la Cruz didn’t seem to be in pain when she died, Spears said. ••• Spears said safety has never been a question at either of her Latin Mix markets, or any business she’s owned in her nearly 11 years she’s been in business. “We’ve had break ins at night, but it hasn’t affected us because no one’s there,” Spears said. “It seems like it’s happening more.” Spears said she watched the news Wednesday night and learned that three convenience stores had been robbed at gunpoint. “You like having a business, but it almost makes me feel like it’s not worth having a business,” she said. “But we need our stores.

house everyone, Miller said the Cornerstone campus has the “most possibilities” of anything the board has considered so far. But board member Bryce Beard said he doesn’t like any of the administration office options he’s seen, especially the “distractions” suggested by the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. “What we need is a central office — a building that is dedicated to what our responsibilities are in running a school system,” Beard said. Carpenter said she agrees with Beard. “It’s always been something with the Board of Commissioners,” she said. “It’s the economy now, and before it was something else.” Emerson agreed, adding, “It’s never going to be good enough year for them to give us the money.” Commissioner Chair Carl Ford told the Post Tuesday that the county’s offer of the former DSS building was still open if Long Street staff needed another place to go. Carpenter said Thursday that the school board did not refuse that building — the county refused to pay for the
someone else will.” Spears said she will not change security measures at her store, but she will continue to remind employees about the importance of being alert. “We try to be alert and try to be friendly,” she said. “I think that’s a good way to not have crime.” And the employees at Latin Mix know just about everyone who comes into the store, she said. “The people who come to our stores are like our family,” she said, and many of them attended de la Cruz’s funeral Tuesday at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church. “It was packed,” Spears said. “You couldn’t get anybody in the church. It was comforting to the family. It says a lot about the community, too.” Spears set up a collection box for donations to the family, who are having major financial troubles, Spears said. “I appreciate the people of Spencer and our police department,” she said. “Several people came by and gave money just for her cause. “People have been very kind and said nothing but nice things about Dee.” Spears paid for the funeral expenses. “This is a family that just gets by,” she said. “That’s why they work. I thought it’d help them with expenses.” The collection box, she said, will be out through Monday. “She was a sweet girl and came from a really hard working family,” Spears said. “I think they (the family) have faith in God and God has seen them through it and Dee had a good relationship with God.” Police ask that anyone with information to call the Spencer Police Department, 704-633-3574, or Crimestoppers, 866-639-5245.

feasibility study that was requested. She said it did not meet the school system’s needs “at all,” but the board still was willing to look at it. Grissom said having all school administrative staff under the same roof would help bring quality teachers and principals to the system. When conversation turned back to Cornerstone, committee members agreed that the school board should wait until January before addressing the issue. “With this discussion talking about the future, it probably would be in the best interest of the board to wait until they are on the board,” said Carpenter, who is stepping down from her seat at the end

of the year. Grissom cautioned that the board doesn’t have a lot of time to decide. County commissioners have urged them not to spend any more money on the aging Long Street building, she said, and so far they have avoided major expenditures. But the state is switching to a new technology infrastructure called Cloud, and connecting to that is going to require some upgrades. “If we’re not going to go anywhere in the next six months, we’ve got to make a decision to invest some money here,” she said. “We can’t keep putting it off.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

Woman burned out of Carolina Boulevard home BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
A fire that burned half a house displaced a Salisbury woman and claimed the life of her pet dog Thursday. A call came in to 911 at 1:32 p.m. reporting visible smoke and flames at 412 Carolina Blvd. The occupant, Rosa Woods, was not home at the time. Robert A. Parnell, Salisbury Fire Chief, wrote in an e-mail Thursday that a Rowan County Rescue Squad ambulance in the area heard the dispatch and arrived first to see smoke coming from the house.
“Upon arrival of the first fire department unit, a neighbor reported that he heard a dog barking inside and he broke out a front window in effort to release smoke from the burning building,” Parnell wrote. Twenty-eight firefighters extinguished the fire “within minutes,” he wrote, but the dog inside the house died. Parnell did not know the pet’s name Thursday. The Red Cross was called in to assist Woods, who cannot stay in her house. The owner of the building is Spencer Lane. “The Salisbury Fire Marshal investigated and found the cause of the fire to be an
electrical short in a power cord in the living room of the house,” Parnell wrote, adding that it was listed as accidental. “Fire damaged approximately 50 percent of the building and smoke damaged the entire house.” Four engines from the Salisbury City Fire Department and one engine from the Granite Quarry Fire Department responded. The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office assisted on-scene. The rescue squad provided an on-scene ambulance for the safety of the firefighters and the County’s Mobile Air Supply System to refill SCBA cylinders.
Clara Bost wanted her customer service team to arrive in style at the ribbon cutting and open house for their new office. After all, her employees will become the face of the Salisbury Customer Service Center, a $7 million state-of-the-art facility housing the city’s high-tech telecommunications utility, Fibrant. A fleet van just didn’t seem to capture the moment. So Bost sprang for a stretch limousine. “I thought, what a wonderful opportunity to give them some special treatment,” she said. “I think we did make a grand entrance.” It was raining just before Tuesday’s ceremony began, so Bost and her crew gathered inside their current location, the city office building at 132 N. Main St. She had told them they would ride together to the Customer Service Center at 1415 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. When the limo pulled up, the group was stunned. “Well, I didn’t know what to think,” said Debbie Hoffman, who has worked for Bost for 12 years. “We were all excited that we were going to be riding up there in a big limo.” Hoffman said she’s ridden in a limo once before, in Las Vegas. “It was real sweet of her,” Hoffman said. “Not many bosses do that, but she does take care of us.” Bost said her staff of 10 provides excellent customer service for the city, day in and day out, sometimes with little recognition. “Not many people call to say, ‘You do a great job,’ ” Bost said. Between 225 and 250 people attended the ribbon cutting and open house, which was catered by L.A. Murph’s Fine Cooking. The city paid

Novant clarifies policy China Grove’s new website ‘user-friendly’ with Humana patients BY SHAVONNE POTTS

Letter wrongly said Medicare plans wouldn’t be covered BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Some patients of Novant doctors received a letter last month saying their physicians would no longer accept Humana Medicare plans in 2011. The letter was wrong. Novant practices will continue to accept three Humana Medicare Advantage plans — Gold Choice, Medicare Choice and Gold Plus, said Robert Seehausen, senior vice president of managed care for Novant. Because of new federal health-care regulations, Novant officials thought they needed a contract with Humana to continue accepting the company’s Medicare plans, Seehausen said. They provided a form letter to Novant practices to give to patients who have Humana. The letter told patients to enroll in a different plan by Dec. 31. “When we started getting questions, we realized what was in the letter was incorrect,” Seehausen said. After examining the Humana website and talking with
company representatives, Novant officials “have come to discover that we will be able to continue to see those members” without a contract, Seehausen said. Although Novant is not a contracted Medicare Advantage network provider for Humana in North Carolina, Novant will continue to accept Humana Medicare members, Mitch Lubitz, Humana mediarelations manager, said in an e-mail to the Post. “They can continue to see them in 2011 on an out-of-network basis,” Lubitz said. The cost is the same. The erroneous letter went to more than 150 physician practices in North Carolina. Novant pulled the letter with the incorrect wording, modified it and sent it back to the practices, Seehausen said. Physician offices are responsible for making sure their patients have the correct information, he said. “The practice should be clarifying it,” he said. Novant provides them with the materials, and they should provide the materials to their patients, he said. Novant could have avoided the misunderstanding if Humana had been more upfront, Seehausen said. “It would have been nice if they had been a little more

MORGANTON (AP) — North Carolina’s health agency says nine workers at a state home for developmentally disabled people have been fired after an abuse investigation found patient injuries that weren’t reported. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday the investigation started nearly a month ago at the J. Iverson Riddle Development Center in Morganton. The Health and Human Services Department says an internal investigation confirmed allegations of abuse by two development disabilities trainers. Six others were fired for failing to report abuse. One trainer was dismissed for falsifying records and failing to report abuse. An agency spokesman would not describe the number of patients involved or their injuries.

Stores may get refunds for alcoholic energy drinks RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s alcohol commission on Thursday approved an exception to liquor laws to allow stores that no longer want to stock alcoholic energy drinks to secure a refund from their suppliers. The move by the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Commission permits retailers the possibility of collecting a refund on drinks their wholesalers will take back, ABC Chairman Jon Williams said. It will be up to wholesalers to decide whether to provide refunds, and that could depend on what manufacturers do, he said. But the exception increases the likelihood stores will remove unsold containers of the drinks that pack as much alcohol as four beers, Williams said. “A willing retailer should be able to deal with this pretty quickly,” he said. The commission moved after the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday warned four drink manufacturers that the caffeine is an “unsafe food additive.” The government could eventually seize the products if the companies continue to make and market them. The federal action overrides the need for states to respond individually, Williams said. Michigan, Utah, Washington and Oklahoma previously banned the beverages. Officials in Ohio said two top manufacturers agreed to stop distributing the drinks there. Maryland said beverage industry groups in that state agreed to reject the products. Three companies making alcoholic energy drinks have been approved for sale in North Carolina, Williams said. They are Phusion Products, the manufacturer of the popular Four Loko drink; United Brands Company Inc., the company behind the Joose brand, and Charge Beverages Corp., which sells Core. A proposal to require malt beverages containing stimulants to disclose those stimulants and their amounts must be reviewed.

Fugitives from Pennsylvania blamed for shooting of officer RALEIGH (AP) — The suspects in the shooting of a North Carolina police officer were wanted fugitives accused of recently stealing a vehicle in Pennsylvania. Both had been released from jail while facing charges, even though one of them was on parole. Michael Edgerton, now dead, and Renee Phillips, now under arrest, PHILLIPS were declared fugitives a month ago after failing to appear at a Bucks County, Pa., court hearing on their charges, records show. They had both been arrested in August and jailed with bail set at $40,000. Court officials say a judge later eliminated their bail requirement and told the two to live in recovery houses. Edgerton was allowed to go free in Bucks County on Aug. 23, five days after authorities in nearby Delaware County had issued an arrest warrant because the new charges violated his parole. Parole supervisor Chris Pawlowski said the warrant was placed into law enforcement databases. Delaware County officials would have preferred to keep him in custody because of the violation, and said they weren’t notified that he was being freed.
A Highway Patrol helicopter searches the area along Three Bridges Road in Halifax County for a couple wanted in the shooting a Roanoke Rapids police officer. “We have no knowledge that he was released from Bucks County,” Pawlowski said. The district attorney in Bucks County did not return a call seeking comment. Authorities now believe Edgerton and Phillips, both of Southampton, Pa., were the ones responsible for shooting Roanoke Rapids police officer John Taylor during a traffic stop on Interstate 95 near the Virginia line. Taylor, 31, is in critical condition at a North Carolina hospital. Investigators hunted Edgerton and Phillips for about 24 hours after the shooting. They eventually found the pair Thursday in a wooded area near where the officer had been shot and their car abandoned. Phillips was arrested and charged
with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen firearm and accessory after the fact. Officers found Edgerton dead after they say he turned the gun on himself. “We feel like we’ve brought safety back to our neighborhood here,” said Police Chief Jeff Hinton. Authorities believe Edgerton and Phillips were in a vehicle that had been stolen in Pennsylvania. Taylor pulled them over Wednesday for following too closely to another vehicle, a minor traffic violation. Hinton said dashboard video shows Taylor was cautious as he walked to the vehicle and the shots were fired a few seconds later. Both Edgerton and Phillips had faced a variety of criminal charges in Pennsylvania.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Senate Republicans on Thursday picked their minority leader for the past six years as their choice to lead the entire chamber and vowed to get to work right when the Senate reconvenes under new management for the first time in more than a century. The Republicans who won on Election Day agreed to back Sen. Phil Berger of Rockingham County as their caucus nominee for Senate president pro tempore, the most powerful position in the chamber. The election won’t occur until all 50 senators are seated when the legislative session opens in two months, but with Republicans at a 31-19 advantage, Berger’s election is almost a certainty. Berger, whose elevation was expected and faced no opposition, said Senate GOP members want to get right to work to tackle large issues before them. Republicans have pledged to eliminate a potential $3.2 billion state budget gap next year without raising tax rates, and possibly reducing them. They also must redraw legislative and congressional district boundaries. Efforts to expand the number of charter schools and teacher merit pay and requiring voters to show photo IDs also are high on Berger’s priority list. “We want to be able on Jan. 26 hit the ground running,” Berger said, referring to the start date for the 2011 legislative session. Berger said a transition team of Senate Republicans will be announced next week and committee chairmanships probably will be announced in December. The GOP wants to begin holding committee meetings the week after the two-year session begins. Chairmanships usually haven’t been announced until February under Democratic rule. Combined with a GOP majority in the House on Election Day, Republicans now will control both houses in the General Assembly, where Democrats had been in charge of one or both chambers continuously

since the 1898 elections. Republicans haven’t been the majority in the Senate since 1870. Republicans say they know they’re on a short leash with the public. “We know this is a two-year chance,” said Sen. Andrew Brock, R-Davie, who was first elected at age 28 and is now a Senate veteran entering his fifth term. “We’re going to work as hard as quickly as possible because we have two years to reapply for our jobs. Given the opportunity, we’re going to work hard and fast, and we’re already working on issues.” Berger is a 58-year-old Eden attorney first elected to the Senate in 2000 and elevated to minority leader in 2004. He’s been w i d e l y praised by his colleagues for assembling a leadership and fundraising team that took advanBROCK tage of a national Republican wave and leveraged voter unhappiness with state budgets approved by majority Democrats. “The best word I’ve got for Phil Berger is steady,” said Sen. Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson. During the campaign, he said, Berger “played the leadership role. He put a core group of us together.” The caucus also elected without opposition Sen. Harry Brown, R-Onslow, to be the next majority leader. Brown, a 55-year-old automobile dealer elected to his fourth term this month, was the deputy minority leader for the past two years. He was among the top fundraisers during the fall campaign for Senate Republican candidates, sending at least $210,000 to the state GOP, according to campaign finance reports. Brown may be best known for missing the Senate’s final vote on the creation of the state lottery in August 2005 because he was on his honeymoon when Senate Democrats unexpectedly returned to Raleigh. Brown’s departure and that of another Republican tilted the vote toward lottery proponents.

Lisa Wear, director of Horizons Unlimited, points out something of interest to Julian Robertson outside the old Setzer School. In the foreground are Robertson Foundation board members Jim Hurley, left, and Fred Stanback.
VISIT FROM 1a Robertson said Thursday morning while touring Horizons Unlimited with Director Lisa Wear. He was referring to the foundation board members, who accompanied him throughout the day. The group went from site to site in a small bus provided by Catawba College. They lunched at the Country Club of Salisbury. Robertson also spent close to an hour at Catawba College’s Hedrick Little Theater Thursday afternoon fielding questions from a packed house, made up mostly of Catawba and Livingstone College business students and faculty. During the exchange, Robertson spoke about the business of philanthropy, what he looks for in employees, what he thinks made him successful, his views on a military career, what mistakes he made, what his fears are, the job market for business majors, leadership, New Zealand, taxes and even obesity. He surprised many in the audience when he said he favors an inheritance tax, believing people at death should pay something back to a country that’s been good to them. The country has to start paying its bills instead of printing money, Robertson said. Robertson only half jokingly said the country should consider an obesity tax. In 1991, only five states had populations that were 15 percent obese. By 2002, the populations of all states were at least 15 percent obese. Now, the numbers in many states are approaching 25 percent to 30 percent.
If the country would just return to the 1991 levels of obesity, the improved gross domestic product and added taxes would generate $1 trillion for the economy. “I can’t believe we as a people shouldn’t be asked to do that,� Robertson said. Robertson splits his time between New York, where he is chairman and chief executive officer of Tiger Management LLC, and his adopted New Zealand, where he developed a luxury lodge and golf courses. Both golf courses are ranked among the top 100 in the world. He also owns two wineries in New Zealand. Robertson told the business students that New Zealand was “a very special little corner of this earth.� His property interests started when he bought a sheep farm, and he soon realized it came with beaches, waterfalls and maybe the largest tree on privately owned land. The country is “perfectly gorgeous,� Robertson said, adding one could buy a national park in New Zealand for the price of a modest New York apartment. A woman student who wants to join the Navy after college asked Robertson his opinion on that career move. Robertson is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. Robertson said his stint in the Navy meant everything to him and probably kept him “out of the gutter.� He said any of the armed services are “fabulous institutions.� On leadership, Robertson advised that bosses should not be afraid of giving young people jobs that may seem too big for them. He said he made a lot of mistakes trying to teach old dogs new tricks. Robertson said the young
people he has hired over the years are competitive — good money managers don’t like to lose. He also seeks honesty, integrity and smarts and said many of his “Tiger Cubs� shared a fundamental desire to make the world better. Downtown Salisbury Inc. officials gave Robertson an update of the Empire Hotel project, and he and foundation board members asked many questions related to rooms, parking, prices, cost and soundness of the building. Robertson wanted to know whether DSI is committed only to a hotel, as opposed to apartments. Bought for $1 million with the help of eight local banking partners, the old hotel property has received a $75,000 commitment from the Robertson Family Foundation, $80,000 from the banks and $5,000 from the Woodson Foundation. Next year, DSI plans to launch a $1.2 million capital campaign aimed at retiring the debt connected to the purchase. But a private redevelopment of the property would cost an estimated $18 million. The project becomes doable because historic tax credits, new market tax credits and small job creation grants could combine to cover half the costs, DSI Executive Director Randy Hemann said. F&M Bank Chief Executive Officer Paul Fisher noted the downtown’s successes over the past 30 years. But he and Brian Miller said what happens with the Empire Hotel will shape the downtown’s future for coming decades. “What we are faced with now is we have to climb Mount Everest,� Fisher said. Robertson heard brighter stories at Waterworks, the Norvell Theater and Horizons Unlimited. But Rowan-Salisbury Schools officials did nothing to sugar-coat the challenges they face without a central school office. The Robertson group toured the school offices on North Long Street in East Spencer and heard from Rowan-Salisbury Schools Superintendent Judy Grissom and Assistant Superintendent for Operations Gene Miller. Robertson board members walked through hallways cluttered with file cabinets, a moldy basement holding the system’s telephone operations, an overcrowded technology center and makeshift offices. They saw slanted floors and an overall building not accessible to the handicapped.
Toward the end of a tour, Miller said basically the school system is a $165 million corporation with 3,500 employees and 20,000 customers “run out of a facility like this.� Grissom said the system’s computers go down every couple weeks, the Long Street building has safety and health issues and the scattered administrative offices make it hard to recruit the best employees. “I think the impression is, why would a school system have so many buildings and not take care of their people?� Grissom said of what potential hires see. Robertson flew into the Rowan County Airport Thursday morning by private jet. His Robertson Foundation in New York focuses its grants on education, the envi-
ronment, medical research and religion. The well-known, merit-based Robertson scholarships give winners an opportunity to study at both Duke University and the University of North Carolina. Robertson was especially impressed Thursday with the work being done at Horizons Unlimited, a supplementary education center for RowanSalisbury Schools. Wear and Anne Ellis spoke about a laboratory made possible through Robertson grants that allows for instruction in things such as DNA fingerprinting and genetic engineering. “What we need in America are scientists,� Robertson said. “We don’t need anybody else in my business.� Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.
Fight with fox leads to euthanization A dog has been euthanized after fighting with a rabid fox, Rowan County Animal Control said. The fox is the 17th confirmed case of rabies in Rowan this year. John Kale reported Wednesday that his pit bull-boxer mix, Chord, had attacked a fox on his property on Wheaton Court off Mooresville Road. A neighbor later shot and killed the fox. Chord, not current on his rabies vaccination, was quarantined at the Rowan Animal Shelter. Test results received Thursday confirmed the fox had rabies.

Obama touts GM stock sale
John Boehner of Ohio, in line to become the House speaker in January, avoided a direct answer when he was asked whether the government’s treatment of General Motors had saved any jobs. He said he had favored allowing GM to go through bankruptcy, and said the episode “could have been handled without the heavy hand of the federal government in the midst of it.” He said tens of thousands of people were punished as a result of the
process that was used. Rep. Dale E. Kildee, DMich., co-chairman of the Congressional Automotive Caucus, said the company’s strong IPO performance shows that government loans were “a smart investment of taxpayer money” that saved jobs and that GM was well on its way back to productivity and profitability. Those who held old GM stock were essentially wiped out when the company filed for bankruptcy.
Nuclear pact sparks political showdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Insisting the nation’s security could be in peril, President Barack Obama rallied former diplomatic and military chiefs from both parties Thursday to pressure reluctant Republican senators to ratify a nuclear weapons deal with Russia. He predicted he would gain the votes this year, though foes gave him little chance of success. The ratification fight is testing both the power of the president and relations between the world’s two nuclear giants. Obama set the stakes ominously high, warning of an unchecked Russian nuclear arsenal, undermined credibility of the United States and unraveling global unity about how to contain a rogue Iran. “It is a national security imperative,” Oba-

time, GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky would appear to command the votes to block any benefits extension that is not “paid for” with cuts to other programs. Sen.-elect Mark Kirk of Illinois will soon join the chamber, replacing Democrat Roland Burris, which appears to now leave Democrats short of the votes to defeat a filibuster. Still, the looming expiration of unemployment benefits could put Republicans on the defensive since they’ll expire just as debate peaks in the lame-duck session over whether to extend Bush-era tax cuts on individuals with income exceeding $200,000 or for couples making more than $250,000. The tax cuts expire Dec. 31, and Democrats oppose permanently extending the upperbracket tax cuts, which would cost about $700 billion over 10 years. “I don’t think we want to leave here having fought for tax cuts for millionaires and against unemployment insurance for those that have lost their jobs,” spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Republicans maintain they’re willing to extend the benefits but don’t want to add the cost — $12.5 billion for three months — to the nation’s $13.8 trillion national debt. “The fact is, we can both provide this help and pay for it by cutting less effective stimulus spending,” said Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La. “That’s what we should be debating today.” Every recession since 1950 has featured an extended federal benefits program financed with deficit dollars. That’s a precedent Democrats refused to break when battling with Republicans for months earlier this year to extend the program.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jobless benefits will run out for 2 million people during the holiday season unless they are renewed by a Congress that’s focusing more attention on a quarrel over preserving tax cuts for people making more than $200,000 a year. It’s looking iffy at best whether Congress will renew jobless benefits averaging $310 per week nationwide that are presently claimed by almost 5 million people who have been out of work for more than six months. An extension of jobless benefits enacted this summer expires Dec. 1, and on Thursday, a bill to extend them for three months failed in the House. Democrats brought the bill to the floor under fast-track rules that required a two-thirds vote to pass. Republicans opposed the legislation because they were denied a chance to attach spending cuts, so the measure fell despite winning a 258-154 majority. In Thursday’s vote, 21 Republicans joined with Democrats in favor. Eleven moderate-to-conservative Democrats opposed the bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., promised to bring the measure back to the floor after Thanksgiving to try to enact an emergency measure that extend benefits at least through the holidays. But Senate Democrats don’t have time; instead, they hope the jobless benefits issue gets addressed in year-end negotiations over taxes and other important year-end legislation. The most recent effort to renew jobless benefits occupied weeks of the notoriously balky Senate’s time and barely advanced with the required 60 votes. Now, even if there were

ma declared from the White House. He surrounded himself in the Roosevelt Room with respected diplomats and military leaders of the modern era, including those from Republican administrations, in an attempt to portray statesmanship rising above politics. Yet key Senate Republicans held their ground, underscoring Obama’s difficulty in rescuing one of his foreign policy priorities. It was unclear how Obama could muster the 67 votes he needs in the 100-person Senate to win ratification before Congress ends. The pact would reduce the limits on strategic warheads held by the U.S. and Russia. Looming over all that is the prospect that Republicans, still basking in election victories, could deny the president a major foreign policy victory.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The estranged wife of the man charged with the abduction of Elizabeth Smart testified Thursday that the beginning of their 25-year marriage was hellish because he was so controlling. Wanda Eileen Barzee took the witness stand to testify for the defense at the trial of Brian David Mitchell. Like others who have testified about Mitchell, Barzee gave a portrait of two men. One is kind and supportive. The other is erratic, demanding, and appears to be increasingly taking direction from religious revelations he claimed to experience, according to Barzee’s testimony. “He was possessive and controlling, and there would be arguments,” an emotional and visibly nervous Barzee said in a quiet voice. Mitchell, 57, is charged with kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Barzee, 65, pleaded guilty to the same charges in November 2009 and is serving a 15-year term at Carswell, a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, where she is being treated for mental illness. She agreed to cooperate with the case against Mitchell in a plea agreement with prosecutors. On Thursday, Barzee told jurors in little more than an hour of testimony that her marriage with Mitchell began to improve in its third year after she said she read scriptures directing her to be obedient to her husband and the couple deepened their religious practice in the Utahbased Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Barzee said Mitchell, whom she married on Nov. 28, 1985, dictated what television programs she watched, but he also held her hand through church-sponsored group counseling and used his skill as a jewelry maker to fashion her a pearl and diamond wedding ring. “He was very supportive of me and my situation,” said Barzee, describing her nine month courtship to Mitchell. “I thought he was a righteous man.” Mitchell’s attorneys don’t dispute the facts of Smart’s abduction and captivity, but contend Mitchell is mentally ill and believes his actions are directed by God. Barzee said Mitchell believed he was directed by God to change jobs, move to Idaho and then sell the couple’s possessions so that they could hitchhike across the United States. She is expected to continue testifying on today.

Big Board — helped reduce the federal government’s stake in the company from 61 percent to about 36 percent. For the U.S. to break even on its investment, it must sell its remaining stake for about $50 a share. Obama said estimates indicate that actions by his administration helped save more than 1 million jobs across 50 states. The Center for Automotive Research estimated that aid to GM and Chrysler saved more than 1.1 million jobs in 2009 and 314,000 jobs this year. The third Big Three automaker, Ford Motor Co., did not accept federal assistance and stayed out of bankruptcy. With it’s first day of trading, the once near-death automaker “took another big step toward becoming a success story,” Obama said. Obama said the revitalized GM proved that “doubters and naysayers” were wrong. “We are finally beginning to see some of these tough decisions that we made in the midst of the crisis pay off,” the president said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday celebrated the return of a reborn General Motors to the U.S. stock market, saying it shows some of the “tough decisions that we made” during the financial crisis were beginning to pay off. “American taxpayers are now positioned to recover more than my administration invested in GM, and that’s a good thing,” Obama said. The government’s $50 billion taxpayer-backed rescue of the venerable automaker includes more than $36 billion injected by the Obama administration and more than $13 billion approved by Obama’s predecessor, President George W. Bush. Trading the new stock is a milestone for both the corporation and for the Obama administration. The stock rose sharply at first, rising to nearly $36 per share from the $33 price GM set for the initial public offering before pulling back and closing at $34.19. The trading — more than 400 million GM shares traded hands during its debut on the

Mixed results from boycott over Arizona’s immigration law PHOENIX (AP) — A boycott brought on by Arizona’s controversial immigration crackdown raised the specter of vacant convention centers, desolate sports arenas and struggling businesses throughout the state. Seven months later, the boycott’s effects are coming into focus, showing it has been a disruptive force but nowhere near as crippling as originally feared. Businesses have lost lucrative contracts and conventions have relocated, performers called off concerts, and cities and counties in about a dozen states passed resolutions to avoid doing business with Arizona. A report released Thursday says the boycott has cost the state $141 million in lost meeting and convention business since Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed the law in April. But the state’s economy hasn’t come to a screeching halt — as some who organized the boycott hoped. In fact, more people went to the Grand Canyon this summer than last year, and more stayed in Arizona’s hotels and

resorts, according to a review by The Associated Press. “My occupancy has been pretty strong,” said Flagstaff bed and breakfast owner Gordon Watkins. He got a few calls from confused international customers wondering if they would be asked for their papers, but no one canceled reservations, he said, and business has been brisk. Many conventions decided not to move, despite questions from their members. At the Phoenix Convention Center on Thursday, about 1,300 exhibitors, distributors and buyers were attending an annual show put on by the National School Supply & Equipment Association. “We just kind of kept our eye on our members, and at least in our industry, they were coming whether that

law was there or not,” said Bill Duffy, the group’s vice president of operations and meetings. The most controversial parts of the law are on hold, including a section that would require police officers who are enforcing other laws to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally. The federal government has won an injunction blocking the provisions and Arizona is awaiting a decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on its appeal. Civil rights groups organized the boycott. A spokeswoman for Tempe-based US Airways said the company saw no effect from the boycott call, and a U-Haul International executive said the same thing. “In fact, year over year, we’re up,” said Jim Pena, the rental firm’s president for Arizona. The pain has been felt by the convention industry. An estimated 15 million visitors come to Arizona each year for vacations, conventions and sporting events such as the Fiesta Bowl.

Native plants good for insects, birds BY KAREN BUSBY Master Gardener volunteer
hat is the renewed interest in planting “native plants” all about? The truth is that most insects that eat plants can only thrive on plants that their ancestors have been eating over the many years that the insect and plant have been in existence together. They do not recognize “alien” plants such as the camellias and azaleas we have imported from the Asian countries and therefore don’t think it is good food for them to eat. So if we do not concentrate on planting some native plants in our landscapes, the vertebrates, especially birds, will not have the insects they enjoy eating and therefore will move on to other locations or worse, become extinct. In his book, “Bringing Nature Home,” Douglas W. Tallamy, a professor in entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware, shows us how we can make a difference in sustaining our native wildlife by choosing to plant some native species in our yards. Tallamy laments, “Birds will not be in our future if we provide them only with shelter and nesting sites. Their most important requirement is food, and most alien plant species do not provide the insects birds need to feed their young.” He encourages us to “plant the species that develop the most insect biodiversity.” He notes that our oaks, hickories, walnuts and the American beech supply most of the nuts that are required for our vertebrate wildlife. This would include our deer, squirrels, wood ducks, raccoons and turkeys. Apparently, our oak trees provide nesting sites for many types of birds as well as supporting moths and butterflies for bird food. He tells us that “oaks, willows and cherries alone host over 1,400 species of herbivores, moths, butterflies, true bugs, aphids, plant hoppers, scales, thrips, katydids, grasshoppers, crickets, walking sticks, beetles and sawflies.” The caterpillars, which come before the moths and butterflies, are the most important parts of the diets of our native birds. In other words, we may need to be willing to put up with the nuisance of a few tent caterpillars in order to keep our native birds here. Birches are another example of trees that make the seeds and flower buds that many songbirds, turkeys and other small mammals eat for nourishment. Since many birches have peeling bark they provide hiding places for the insects during the winter; these wind up being food for the woodpeckers during a time when food is scarce for them. Tallamy suggests that we are not using blueberries to their wonderful potential as ornamental plantings. Not only are they beneficial as food for wildlife but they also provide interest during three of the four seasons of the year with flowers, fruit and fall color in your landscape. Try some of these mixed in among other plantings in your yard. The fact is every time we plant a plant in our yards or remove a plant from the landscape, we are impacting the survival of our native insects and therefore, our native birds and other vertebrates. Tallamy states that “95 percent of the land in our lower 48 states is not in its natural state.” Therefore there are not enough wild habitats left to support the wildlife we all love. We can help these wonderful creatures survive by planting some native plants in our yards. Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.

Master Gardener volunteers Sue Davis and Pam Ervin (in the foreground) join others in forming a chain to place pavers in the prepared beds.
Concrete pavers make tough job a little easier ntil recently, if homeowners wanted to add a sidewalk or patio, they had to use some form of clay brick. Brick pavers offer limited design options and are difficult to install. Implementing patterns is difficult and cutting for irregular shapes is a nightmare. Now the landscape industry has developed concrete DARRELL pavers, making BLACKWELDER sidewalks much easier to add. Concrete landscape pavers are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors, adding a different dimension to hardscaping possibilities. The concrete bricks are easier to cut for irregular-shaped designs and are designed with spacer ridges to keep them neatly in tact.

public about maintenance requirements. Why do more work than you have to do? These planned pocket gardens at the Agricultural Center will be a destination point for the public and school groups to learn how the gardens change with the seasons. These gardens replace areas that are currently turf grass, which will reduce county maintenance requirements. The Rowan County Master Gardener volunteers are excited to be able to bring these teaching gardens to the community. The association is raising funds to be able to complete the planned gardens.

lot, and I don’t like it and think it’s rude. I have said as much to these people. I am a very private person and would never go to their home without calling first. Now, some of my relatives are upset that I feel this way — saying, “It’s just family; we should be able to stop by whenever we want.” I say it’s still rude. — Annoyed Dear Annoyed: The kindest, most polite thing is for people to understand and accommodate one another’s comfort level when it comes to popping in. You’ve expressed your frustration with this, and yet your family members don’t comply. That puts them in the “rude” category. When people stop in uninvited, it’s fine to say, “I’m sorry, this isn’t a good time; it’s best if you could call first.” Branding family members as rude may in fact tempt them to push your buttons. Dear Amy: You got it half
right in advising “Ungrateful” that she shouldn’t have told her husband that she wanted a bigger engagement ring. If his choice of a small ring for her combined with his “only the best” for himself sent a message that she was second in his regard, she could have rejected the marriage proposal. Since she accepted the proposal, her reasonable options are to accept the ring as sufficient in and of itself or to accept that a good part of the value she finds in her marriage comes from elements she brings to the table. If the latter is true, then she may have a jeweler design additional bands to flank the ring. Then she can show her ring to her friends and accept the compliments with a graceful, “Isn’t it great what two people can create together”? Otherwise, no matter how small the ring he bought, he will resent the request for a better one and wonder if what his wife is really saying is that

Dear Amy: I work for a small office of about 20 employees for a regional company. While the company has been pretty resilient to the recession, the company recently had to lay off two workers. After the layoffs were announced, one employee in our office decided to announce that donation envelopes would be passed around and that everyone should give generously to the staff members who were laid off. She designated that only cash would be accepted. Personally, this felt inappropriate to me on multilevels. ple First, it does not seem fair to pressure other workers to give money when many of ASK the employees AMY may also be struggling financially and may not have had a meaningful relationship with the workers. Second, while I understand that a cash gift may be the most useful thing to someone who has been laid off, it seems like an awkward gift when compared with a gift certificate. Lastly, the gesture presumes that the two who were laid off did nothing to contribute to their dismissal, which seems naive and I don’t believe it’s entirely the case in this scenario. I have talked to several people who feel the exact same way, but no one wants to step in because no one wants to be perceived as heartless and insensitive to the situation. Any thoughts or suggestions? — Peeved Worker Dear Peeved: This is without a doubt a kind gesture on the part of your co-worker, but I agree with your reaction to this and further agree that no employee should pressure fellow employees to contribute cash to any particular cause. If an employee wants to offer co-workers the opportunity to donate to laid-off workers, or if this co-worker wants to fundraise on their behalf outside the office, then those people who want to pony up some cash can do so. But no one should be pressured to donate or be penalized or judged if they decline.

DRINK MAKERS MAY BE IN FOR IT
Want a jolt of regulation? affeinated alcoholic beverages and their regulation are creating a lot of buzz, in North Carolina as well as other states. At the heart of the debate: To what degree should state and federal rules protect people against their own bad judgment — in this case, the bad judgment to drink excessively even to the point of endangering themselves and others? With recent actions, both the federal Food and Drug Administration and the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission have The drinks are come down on the of protecting “heavily marketed side the public. The FDA in youth-friendly this week put the media ... with manufacturers of such as Four youth-oriented drinks Loko and Joose Brand on notice that graphics and combination of messaging ...” the high levels of caffeine and alcohol (up to 12 percent) Centers for may make them unDisease Control safe for consumption. The state ABC panel followed up on that action Thursday by saying that stores could receive refunds from suppliers if they remove the drinks from their shelves, which should encourage retailers to cease sales rather than be caught with stocks of a product that may ultimately prove illegal. Even before the FDA action, the drinks had been banned by four states. So is this prudent action by regulators or “nanny state” overreaching? While some have questioned whether these beverages have inherent health risks, there’s little question that they can mask the signs of inebriation. That’s why the drinks are particularly appealing among younger drinkers — including minors — and particularly dangerous for them. Binge drinking is already a serious problem among college-age drinkers, and the caffeine-booze combination threatens to thwart attempts to drive those numbers down. According to the CDC, the drinks are regularly consumed by 31 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds and 34 percent of 18- to 24year-olds. Furthermore, the CDC reports that the drinks are “heavily marketed in youth-friendly media ... with youth-oriented graphics and messaging ...” What we have here isn’t simply bad judgment. It’s an exploitative marketing campaign that’s pitching a potentially dangerous product to the audience most likely to abuse it. These volatile cocktails aren’t kid stuff — or at least, they shouldn’t be. Ideally, the manufacturers would solve the issue themselves by changing the product and its marketing. If that doesn’t happen, however, regulator agencies must act in the interests of public health and safety. While irresponsible drinking is always dangerous, these beverages compound the risks, particularly for young people. Regulators not only have a right to intervene but would be remiss in their duties if they failed to do so.

Common sense

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.” — Henry Ford
t’s a good thing K&W came to Salisbury when it did because I think without this cafeteria my mom would have starved. She enjoys eating at K&W and especially loves the chocolate cream pies. She always gets two to go. It takes about 15 minutes to drive from my mom’s house to the cafeteria. She doesn’t drive anymore, so our time together DICY MCCULLOUGH in the car gives us a chance to catch up on the week’s events. On one recent trip, I told her about an incident that took place on my back porch a few nights before. I was cleaning up the kitchen and happened to look out the back door to see a ’possum helping himself to the cat food. He ate what he wanted, and then found his

BEVERLY PERDUE he gentleman from Greenville (let’s call him Mr. B) was direct and to the point: “I hope this is not a political nothing.” His was one of more than 600 responses received the first week at www.setgovernmentstraight.nc.gov, the website devoted to bringing common sense back to the rules and regulations that pepper North Carolina state government. I can underPERDUE stand Mr. B’s hesitation. State government has been bogged down by red tape and needless bureaucracy for decades. Many rules set forth by state agencies are ancient and haven’t been reviewed for years, if ever. Even as Mr. B typed in the web address, he must have been thinking to himself — this sounds like a good idea, but is anyone really listening? Let me assure you — yes, we are. The global recession that descended on North Carolina has presented us with a
T
choice: keep doing things the same old way and remain depressed, or innovate, grow, change and emerge from the recession’s dark cloud stronger, leaner and better. Here in the Tar Heel state we’ve chosen to push forward, as is evidenced by businesses, communities and families across the state who have made tough choices, thought outside the box and found a new way to survive. Because of that perseverance, North Carolina is recognized as the No. 1 place in America to do business, and we are leading the country out of the recession with the second highest job growth nationally. Keeping that forward momentum is crucial. State government must continue to be a jobs-creating partner with private businesses. Any unnecessary red tape only serves as a road block to economic growth. So I’ve directed all my cabinet agencies to review all rules currently in place and to slow down any new rules. I’ve asked the rest of state government to do the same. And, most importantly, I’m asking you, citizens, business leaders, community leaders and state employees, to identify rules that defy common sense. Tell me what regulations keep
LETTERS Putting ‘honor’ in national society As an educator, I would like to respond to Miss Allie Henrickson’s article (Nov. 18, Education section) concerning her not being accepted into the National Honor Society (NHS). I have seen the same frustration and disappointment of many of my Advanced Placement/Honors students and for the same reasons Miss Henrickson noted. I would like to point out that her 4.5 GPA shows she has excelled in AP/Honors courses, but when she applies for college, her 4.5 will be calculated as 3.6 and her advanced classes recognized, still meeting NHS standards. The Civitan Club is a community-committed group that is very visible and active in this area. I feel that belonging to the Junior Civitan Club and participating in many of their

That’s what setting government straight is all about. Mr. B didn’t just write in to offer his political commentary. He also submitted a suggestion to eliminate a program. The result, he believed, would do exactly what we’re looking for: “create more construction, more competition, less bureaucracy and more cost effective organizations.” I don’t know yet whether that suggestion will work. We have already amassed more than a thousand recommendations, and before we can act on them, each and every one must be reviewed. But what I do know is that by the time the General Assembly gets into full swing next year, I will have a list of rules and regulations that don’t make sense, and I will ask my agencies and the General Assembly to fix them, tweak them or eliminate them altogether. Tell us what we need to change. We are listening. • • • To respond to Gov. Bev Perdue’s request, go to www.set governmentstraight.nc.gov.

service activities was definitely community-based. It is a shame her participation in this great service-oriented club was overlooked. Eight years ago, the school system in which I was employed watered-down the NHS requirements for the same reason Miss Henrickson spoke; “to make the process more ‘fair’ ” and to allow for the greater self-esteem of more students. I found this to be sad. To me, this gave students that did not have the strong work ethic, as Miss Henrickson does, a false entitlement which was stripped from them when they entered
the world of academia. Much dialogue concerning low selfesteem of students has changed many aspects of teaching. What happened to earning self-esteem and respect? Why are we granting the disillusionment of high school students, only to see them fail as freshmen in college? Miss Henrickson, do not let this small setback in your high school experience stop you from continuing all you do. You are on the road to success; do not let this “pebble” cause you to stumble. — JoAnn Hoty Salisbury

cross America, the editors of cable channels, celebrity TV shows, glossy magazines, the big three networks and serious newspapers as well are budgeting serious cash to cover the social event of 2012 — the wedding of Prince William, an eventual heir to the British throne, to Kate Middleton, heiress to a party-supply fortune. Middleton almost immediately becomes the most photographed woman in the world, displacing self-titled aristocrat Lady GaGa. Unlike William’s late mother, Princess Diana, who at age 20 seemed like a deer in the headlights of the relentless publicity back in 1981, Middleton, at 28, seems to have the grit to handle celebrity. She
A
and her lawyers were not shy about taking action against intrusive paparazzi over the nine years she and the prince dated. The engagement caused endless fascination in the United Kingdom and almost as much here. By 1:30 p.m. on the day of the Palace announcement, the Associated Press had put out 10 updated versions of its main story plus a sidebar that described her as a “naturally beautiful young woman blessed with poise, dimples, long legs and perfect posture.” She also has a degree in arts history from Scotland’s prestigious St. Andrews University, where she and William met. Middleton is what the British in their quaint way insist on calling a “commoner,” meaning she is without a title. But what’s the point of being a
prince if you can’t make your bride a princess? Becoming a queen may take more time. Queen Elizabeth is a robust 84 and next year celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of her reign. Her son, the next in line to the throne, Prince Charles, is only 62. The queen, it is said, will never abdicate and Charles is unlikely to skip his place in the succession. But the young couple still has a role. The Brits are looking for the wedding, sometime next spring or summer, to give the country a psychological and economic lift. And there’s the employment provided to America’s own growing corps of royal watchers. We Americans will be so enthralled by this wedding that we ought to help pay for it ... Nah.
She’s thankful she can go to K&W to eat and not have to worry about catching her food. way back down the steps, only to slowly meander across the yard into the woods. After listening to my story, Mom then proceeded to tell me her own ’possum story. She is 90 years old and still remembers details I forgot long ago. In order to understand my mom, one needs to know a little about her background. She is from a large family and was brought up during the Depression. Since the family was poor, her dad was always looking for ways to make a living. Grandpa was a smart man and very creative in ways of survival. So, it seems one of Grandpa’s ways to feed his family was to go hunting for ’possum. He would bring all the ’possums back to the house (not dead, but alive) and then he would put them in a pen. The idea was to fatten them up as much as possible before they were cooked. I hear ’possum tastes pretty much like chicken. Anyway, my grandmother would feed the ’possums buttermilk and cornbread. It seems this diet fattens up a ’possum pretty fast. Personally, I’m not so sure if I would enjoy eating one, but if I was hungry enough I suppose I could. Now don’t think for a minute eating ’possum is a thing of the past. No way. I actually hear many people enjoy a good ’possum on the table even today. It seems they make tasty pies. Mom never tires of telling me her ’possum stories, but admits she’s glad those days are over. She’s thankful she can go to K&W to eat and not have to worry about catching her food. Everyone at the cafeteria knows her because she has been going there for so long. As we walk in the front door we see people we know, and we speak. Then, we get our trays, place our orders, and continue on down the line toward the desserts. As always, I hear Mom say, “Two chocolate pies to go, please.” To you that may not sound like a big deal, but it is a big deal because she has been getting two chocolate pies to go for 15 years. Can you imagine the number of pies that has been? If you happen to be at K&W enjoying a meal around lunch time, just look at the booth in the back corner. You will probably find Mom. Oh, and by the way, she’ll need a box to go. Life is good. • • • Dicy McCullough is a freelance writer and poet who lives in Rowan County. She can be reached at 704-2784377.
Airports consider call to use private security screeners ATLANTA (AP) — In a climate of Internet campaigns to shun airport pat-downs and veteran pilots suing over their treatment by government screeners, some airports are considering another way to show dissatisfaction: Ditching TSA agents altogether. Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead. The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who’s a longtime critic of the Transportation Security Administration and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA’s place. Furor over airline passenger checks has grown as more airports have installed scanners that produce digital images of the body’s contours, and the anger intensified when TSA added a more intrusive style of pat-down recently for those who opt out of the full-body scans. Some travelers are using the Internet to organize protests aimed at the busy travel days next week surrounding Thanksgiving. For Republican Rep. John Mica of Florida, the way to make travelers feel more comfortable would be to kick TSA employees out of their posts at the ends of the snaking security lines. This month, he wrote letters to nation’s 100 busiest airports asking that they request private security guards instead. “I think we could use half the personnel and streamline the system,” Mica said Wednesday, calling the TSA a bloated bureaucracy.
Counsel recommends censure for Rangel WASHINGTON (AP) — The House ethics committee’s chief counsel recommended Thursday that veteran Rep. Charles Rangel of New York be censured for financial and fundraising misconduct as lawmakers neared closure on a 21/2year-long scandal. The committee deliberated behind closed doors Thursday after counsel Blake Chisam made his recommendation and Rangel pleaded for fairness, telling the panel he was not a crooked politician. Chisam’s recommendation was that Rangel receive the most serious congressional discipline short of expulsion. A censure resolution would require a vote by the House disapproving Rangel’s conduct and the speaker would orally administer an embarrassing rebuke to the 20-term Democrat in front of his colleagues. The ethics committee, made up of five Democrats and five Republicans, could opt for lighter punishments, such as a reprimand, fine or a report deploring Rangel’s behavior. The full House would have to vote on a reprimand or fine, but Rangel would be spared the embarrassment of being rebuked at the front of the chamber, called the well.
Dutch officials check missing teen’s records SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Dutch authorities are reviewing the dental records of missing American teen Natalee Holloway as they analyze a jawbone with a tooth in it that was found in Aruba last week, the FBI told The Associated Press on Thursday. The girl’s father, Dave Holloway, said earlier that he provided the records but added that he had received no new official information on the investigation on the Dutch island in the Caribbean. “The authorities haven’t confirmed anything with me,” he told the AP in a telephone interview. “It’s pretty much total silence.” Paul Daymond, an FBI spokesman in Birmingham, Alabama, said the agency sent some records electronically Wednesday and shipped the remaining dental impressions. It is unclear when those would arrive. A tourist found a jawbone

last Friday and took it to the front desk of the Phoenix Hotel, said Ann Angela, spokeswoman for the Aruba prosecutor’s office. It was then sent to the Netherlands for analysis, though there has been no announcement on whether the bone is human.
GOP governors vow cuts will be deep SAN DIEGO (AP) — Incoming Republican governors from Pennsylvania to New Mexico are vowing to keep campaign promises to slice already cut-to-the-bone budgets and balance them without raising taxes. In doing so, GOP leaders intent on conservative governance signaled a desire to try to fundamentally change state government, shrinking it significantly. And they acknowledged that could mean more job losses and service cuts to already recessionhammered states anticipating more budget trouble ahead. “While we’re all facing these challenges, there are incredible opportunities for us to go look at what the core missions of government were, and redefine the role,” said South Carolina Gov.elect Nikki Haley, adding that the institution was never intended to be all things to all people. “We’re going to have to scale back.” “We have to be honest with the people of our states and say, ‘This is going to hurt. We’re going to struggle,’” Haley added. But she said she was confident that the GOP’s remaking-government approach ultimately would make Republicans — and their states — stronger. At the annual Republican Governors’ Association conference this week in California, incoming and current GOP governors insisted that their methods — which Democratic critics deride as draconian — would prevent another bout of catastrophic fiscal conditions over the long term.
Bodies of 2 women, boy missing in Ohio found in bags MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in rural central Ohio say a mother, her young son and a friend who disappeared more than a week ago were murdered in the family’s home. Knox County Sheriff David Barber said Thursday that the bodies were found in garbage bags inside a hollowed-out tree about 20 miles northwest of their home. The mother’s 13-year-old daughter, who also disappeared, was found Saturday, bound and gagged in the basement of the home of a 30-year-old unemployed man who spent six years in a Colorado prison. He is charged with kidnapping the girl. Barber says the girl was home when the other three were murdered but would not say whether she witnessed the killings. He says the man, Matthew Hoffman, gave information that led to the discovery of the bodies and that no one else is a suspect.
Bristol Palin sorry for her Facebook rant ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Bristol Palin is apologizing for herself and her younger sister for their Facebook rant against posters criticizing their family. Palin posted the apology on her Facebook page, saying she and her sister Willow, 16, “shouldn’t have reacted to negative comments about our family. We apologize.” Willow Palin used a homophobic slur against a poster on her Facebook page who criticized her mother’s new documentary series “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” Then, she and Bristol engaged in a stream of offensive comments with posters who continued to slam the family. Bristol ends her apologetic post by thanking those who are supporting “the great competition in Dancing with the Stars!” She is among three teams who made the finals this week.
NATO set to discuss Afghan exit strategy LISBON, Portugal (AP) — NATO is expected to set a 2014 target for handing over security to Afghans at a summit that starts here today, as the alliance’s appetite for the conflict dwindles after nine years of fighting, growing European war angst, and renewed criticism by Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The allies appear to agree the target year is realistic, but that hardly means the war is ending. The U.S. is wary of giving the impression that the original aim of invading Afghanistan in 2001 — to deny al-Qaida a base to launch more terrorist attacks on the West — will be achieved by then. So NATO plans to pledge an enduring partnership with Afghanistan at the two-day Lisbon summit, while admitting past mistakes. “I think that, seen retrospectively, we underestimated the challenge and our operation in Afghanistan didn’t have sufficient resources, and yes, that was a mistake,” NATO SecretaryGeneral Anders Fogh Rasmussen told Portugal’s Renascenca in comments broadcast Thursday as leaders of the 28 NATO member nations headed to Lisbon. He added: “We’ll make a positive announcement in Lisbon — that the handover is about to begin.” In an opinion column posted on the New York Times website Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama described the 2014 target date as Karzai’s goal, to be adopted by NATO. And he said the objective of NATO combat operations is to “break the Taliban’s momentum,” deprive insurgents of their strongholds and train more Afghan forces. He did not say the goal was to defeat the Taliban. The escalating war has given the alliance its biggest challenge since it was formed 61 years ago. But victory is far from assured, and a hasty pullout would seriously undermine confidence in the alliance on both sides of the Atlantic. Already, some key allies worry that military force is not the best way to put Afghanistan on a track to stability. France’s new defense minister, Alain Juppe, said this week that Afghanistan is a “trap” for allied troops, adding that French forces will not withdraw fully until “Afghan authorities have the situation in hand.”

GRACE RIDGE
Heads of state of Nato member countries gather for a two day summit beginning today. Some analysts see a grimmer scenario. “Success in Afghanistan is almost impossible,” said Shmuel Bar, a director at the Institute of Policy and Strategy in Herzliya, Israel. “If NATO is making its future contingent on victory in Afghanistan, they are not living in the real world. All they can expect to achieve are some limited aims, such as preventing the war from spilling over into Pakistan.” Karzai, scheduled to address Saturday’s session, caused an international stir by demanding in a Washington Post interview last weekend that NATO reduce its military operations and stop what the military believes is a highly successful tactic — night raids conducted jointly with Afghan troops against suspected Taliban leaders. The Lisbon meeting unfolds against the backdrop of Obama’s internal review of the war strategy announced in December 2009, which included sending 30,000 extra U.S. troops to Afghanistan. Obama is expected to finish his review by year’s end and face a new Congress in January that may scrutinize his war strategy more closely following the Democrats’ loss of the House and setbacks in the Senate.
Scientists trap antimatter GENEVA (AP) — Scientists may have been able to capture elusive atoms of antimatter, but don’t expect that to lead to interstellar rocket engines or powerful bombs anytime soon — if ever. Even as they announced the important advance in studying antimatter, they emphasized that science fiction uses of the stuff — like propelling the starship Enterprise in “Star Trek” or fueling a bomb in Dan Brown’s book “Angels and Demons” — remain in the realm of the imagination. International physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said they had overcome a basic problem in studying atoms of antimatter. While such atoms have been created routinely in the lab for years, they tend to disappear so fast that scientists don’t have a chance to study them. But in a report published online by the journal Nature, the scientists said they’d been able to trap individual atoms and keep them around for a bit more than one-tenth of a second. To a particle physicist, that’s a pretty long time. “For us it’s a big breakthrough because it means we can take the next step, which is to try to compare matter and antimatter,” the team’s spokesman, American scien-

“The atoms that were trapped were not yet trapped very long and in a very usable number, but one has to crawl before you sprint.” JEFFREY HANGST American scientist
tist Jeffrey Hangst, told The Associated Press on Thursday Hangst and his colleagues, who included scientists from Britain, Brazil, Canada, Israel and the United States, trapped 38 anti-hydrogen atoms individually. Hangst says that since the experiments they reported in Nature, they’ve been able to hold on to the atoms even longer. “Unfortunately I can’t tell you how long, because we haven’t published the number yet,” Hangst told the AP. “But I can tell you that it’s much, much longer than a tenth of a second. Within human comprehension on a real clock.” Studying such trapped atoms could help answer basic questions in physics, like why antimatter has disappeared from the natural universe while ordinary matter abounds in the stars, planets and galaxies. Theorists say
both must have been created in equal amounts in the Big Bang. Two teams had been competing to trap anti-hydrogen atoms at CERN, the world’s largest physics lab best known for its $10 billion smasher, the Large Hadron Collider. The collider, built deep under the Swiss-French border, wasn’t used for this experiment. Hangst’s team beat a rival group led by Harvard physicist Gerald Gabrielse, who nevertheless welcomed the result. “The atoms that were trapped were not yet trapped very long and in a very usable number, but one has to crawl before you sprint,” he said. To trap the anti-atoms inside an electromagnetic field and to stop them from annihilating ordinary atoms, researchers had to create antihydrogen at temperatures less than a half-degree above absolute zero. Hangst played down speculation that antimatter might someday be harnessed as a source of energy or to create a powerful weapon like in “Angels and Demons.” “It would take longer than the age of the universe to make one gram of antimatter,” he said, calling the process “a losing proposition because it takes much more energy to make antimatter than you get out of it.”

DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland edged toward taking a bailout loan from the European Union to bolster its debt-crippled banks — but the prospect offered little reassurance that other corners of Europe could cope with their own crushing levels of government debt. After Greece and likely Ireland, analysts say Portugal may be the next country in the 16-nation eurozone to need assistance. They suggest the crisis is now being driven less by irrational fears than by a growing realization that debts are too big for vulnerable nations to refinance, never mind pay back. Experts from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund descended Thursday on Dublin to explore the scope and terms of a bailout. European officials agreed to send them at a sum-
mit Tuesday after weeks of Irish denials that they required any emergency aid. The talks were expected to run into next week. Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan insisted his government needed no money itself because it’s fully funded through mid-2011. But Lenihan said he would welcome a “contingency capital fund” — a backstop for the country’s troubled banks — effectively an overdraft or credit line. “The banks grew to such a size that they became too unmanageable for the state itself. That’s the big difficulty here. ... And it’s clear that we will need some form of external assistance to address the difficulties,” Lenihan said at the conclusion of daylong talks at the Irish Central Bank. The government appeared determined to defend its pre-
rogatives in bailout talks, which typically involve the aid recipient agreeing to the creditors’ conditions to improve its finances. In Ireland’s case, Deputy Prime Minister Mary Coughlan declared that keeping Ireland’s 12.5 percent rate of corporate tax “is nonnegotiable.” It’s a key attraction for businesses, but EU heavyweights such as Germany and France don’t like the tax because theirs are higher. Such inflexibility, while widely supported in Ireland, has been questioned elsewhere as unrealistic. “When does denial turn into delusion?” Joan Burton, finance spokeswoman of the opposition Labour Party, said to Lenihan and Coughlan during a parliamentary debate. She accused the government of lying to the public about the inevitability of a bailout.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The crumbling Oregon State Hospital had toxic paint, asbestos and a leaky roof — an enduring symbol of the psychiatric neglect portrayed in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,� filmed at the 127-yearold facility. On Thursday, officials unveiled part of a new hospital that will replace the decrepit asylum and, they hope, a legacy of real abuses that never made it into a Hollywood film but very well could have. Forty percent of the 19th century building was unusable, left to rot and collect piles of pigeon droppings. In its shadow is a new hospital designed to facilitate modern theories in mental health treatment, trying to mimic as much as possible daily life outside the institution. “This setting will no longer be known for a Hollywood movie or a place of broken hope,� said Gov. Ted Kulongoski, a Democrat finishing his final term in office. “It will be the life at the end of despair and the start of a new dawn that will help patients recover.�

Jack Nicholson is shown in a scene from the classic ďŹ lm. A maximum security section is the first major portion of the new hospital. It’s the admissions and stabilization center, where the most vulnerable patients are brought in from the outside world. In the old hospital, patients are segregated into wards based on their condition. Schizophrenia over here. Depression over there. It was built for an era
when psychiatrists theorized that patients would get better from interactions with others who shared their ailments. But doctors now know that many patients suffer from multiple conditions. In the new facility, patients will be brought together in a “treatment mall� where they have access to recreation, medical services and social interaction.

CHARLOTTE — Brian St. Pierre has thrown five passes in eight NFL seasons. He wasn’t in a training camp this summer, and as recent as last week was a stayat-home dad. On Sunday, he’ll start for the Carolina Panthers. A season of anemic offensive play, multiple in- ST. PIERRE juries and one victory took an even stranger twist Thursday when coach John Fox picked the 30-year-old St. Pierre over rookie Tony Pike to play against Baltimore. “The guy has been in some games,” Fox said.
Tar Heels rout Hofstra
That’s good enough these days to start for Carolina (1-8), the NFL’s lowest scoring team that has scored nine touchdowns and has no healthy, experienced quarterback. Rookie Jimmy Clausen missed practice again Thursday with a concussion sustained Sunday against Tampa Bay. Matt Moore was lost to a season-ending shoulder injury last week. Pike is a sixthround pick from Cincinnati who has appeared in one game, but Fox doesn’t think he is ready to start. Enter St. Pierre, who since being a fifth-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2003 is 2-of-5 passing for 12 yards, a touchdown and an interception with three teams. “I know what the situation looks like to everyone,” St. Pierre said. “It is what it is. I’m not going to complain about it.”

North carolina’s John Henson dunks.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — H a r r i s o n had UNC 107 Barnes Hofstra 63 what others would call a career game in only 20 minutes. For Barnes, it was simply his first dominant one. Barnes played like a worthy pick to the preseason All-America team and showed what all the hype was about on a national stage, scoring 19 points in No. 8 North Carolina’s 107-63 win over Hofstra on Thursday in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Barnes, a freshman, offered a sneak preview of what Tar Heels fans hope will be a series of careerbest games this season — which could be his only one in Chapel Hill. He made all four 3-point attempts
and scored all his points in the first half to help the Tar Heels (2-0) storm out to a 25-point lead. With every sweet shot, Barnes is making BARNES coach Roy Williams and the Tar Heels forget all about last year’s miserable 17-loss season. “His start was sensational for us. That was really the game,” Williams said Barnes had plenty of help in the second half, as UNC swatted shots, alley-ooped, and pressured Hofstra all over the court. The Tar Heels will play Minnesota today in the eight-team tournament that finishes Sunday.

Common Sense excited about another West-NWC matchup ommon Sense says a West Rowan player named Ezra Cowan enjoyed the best minute in county football history. The year was 1991, and Cowan first scored on a reverse, racing 62 yards to the end zone. After the Falcons kicked off, Cowan immediately intercepted a pass and returned it 61 yards for another six points. West’s oppoCOWAN nent that night was Northwest Cabarrus, and the Falcons won 26-7 to end a five-game losing streak. It was one of their two victories that season. West also beat Northwest 26-7 early this season. That doesn’t mean anything, but it’s sort of interesting.
C
West opened in 1959, seven years before Northwest, and they waited until 1985 to cross paths on a football field. West won the first meeting 13-6 on a kickoff return by William Allison. That victory was pivotal in the Falcons making the state playoffs for the first time. Since then, there have been some wild moments in the series.
Twenty years ago, Northwest won 13-7 in overtime. The best games in the series may have taken place from 1999-2002, when both schools were good. Northwest QB Ryan Woodham took it upon himself to personally beat the Falcons 21-14 in 1999. That result snapped a fivegame West winning streak and sent the Falcons into a threegame tailspin that knocked them out of the playoffs. Those were the only three games West lost all season, but you could play well in those days and still lose three straight in the SPC. West always ran a three-week Cabarrus gauntlet in that era — Northwest, then A.L. Brown, then Concord. Not a lot of fun. jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

UNC not planning self-imposed sanctions BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina doesn’t plan any self-imposed sanctions on the school’s football program amid an NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits and academic misconduct, Chancellor Holden Thorp said Thursday. “We don’t have plans to take any more actions than the ones we’ve taken,” Thorp said. “Obviously something could happen. Some information could come out or the NCAA could send us information that we don’t know about that could change that. But we’ve been working on this for four months ... and we don’t think there’s a lot of new information that’s going to come out, so we feel really good about where we are.” Thorp spoke shortly after he, athletic director Dick Baddour and coach Butch Davis updated the school’s board of trustees on the in-
vestigation. Thorp again publicly supported Baddour and Davis, saying that there is no information connecting Davis to potential violations that sidelined some players for a few games, caused others to be declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA and led to the departure of an assistant coach with close ties to an agent. Baddour said the fourth-year coach handled “the most difficult times in a dignified and professional manner.” “I believe you were the right fit when we hired you and I continue to believe that,” Baddour told Davis during the meeting. “In fact, I believe it even more strongly now.” The presentation seemed designed to close UNC’s fact-finding part the investigation, which was initially focused on two players possibly receiving improper benefits from agents, but ultimately ensnared a dozen others. However, now UNC awaits the final NCAA ruling.
Baddour said the school hasn’t received a letter outlining violations from the NCAA, which would signify a shift to a potential penalty phase. Thorp has said the process could take a year to complete, though Baddour didn’t specify a time when asked by trustee Wade Hargrove. “I don’t know what to tell you on that,” Baddour said. “That is out of our control.” Earlier this week, the NCAA issued rulings on the last two players whose status was in question, and Thorp said both the NCAA and school were largely finished with their investigations. In all, 14 players missed at least one game. Seven will miss the entire season, with three declared permanently ineligible and a fourth kicked off the team. Another player played the first four games before being held out and was declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA earlier this week. Five players have returned to
game action after being held out by the school or suspended by the NCAA, while a sixth was cleared to return but hopes to redshirt. In addition, the NCAA also scrutinized the longtime friendship of former assistant coach John Blake — who resigned in September — and California-based agent Gary Wichard. Attorneys for both men have said Wichard loaned money to Blake, though they have denied there was any agreement for Blake to steer players to Wichard when they went to the NFL. While the NCAA issued rulings on improper-benefits cases, some of the academics issues were handled by the school’s student judicial system. Davis, speaking to the board for the first time since the investigation began, said he was working to make sure the program avoided such trouble in the future. “I want to make perfectly clear to everyone that I am embarrassed and
saddened and disappointed about the negative light that things in the football program have shed on the University of North Carolina,” Davis said. “As the head football coach, I take complete and full responsibility for everything that happens in that football program. It is certainly nothing that we are proud of. We’re embarrassed by it.” The investigation led to a separate probe launched by the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office focused on whether the state’s sports agent laws were broken. Thorp told trustees that both the NCAA and Secretary of State’s office had interviewed Davis in their investigations. Baddour told the board that numerous changes are in place or being planned, from requiring current and future employees to disclose associations with agents to reviewing the policies of the academic support program to include more faculty oversight.
Hamlin under pressure BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Look out, Denny Hamlin. Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick are right behind you — and they’re making sure you know it. With the title up for grabs in Sunday’s season finale, Johnson and Harvick are doing their best to turn up the heat on NASCAR’s points leader. Johnson, the four-time defending series champ, was his usual model of California cool during Thursday’s news conference to preview the closest title race in Chase for the Sprint Cup championship history. Harvick was his typically mischievous self, facing every question with blunt honesty and never passing on an opportunity to needle the competition — well, mostly just Hamlin. “This has been one of the most awkward 30 minutes I’ve been through,” Hamlin squirmed about halfway through the session. Stuck on a podium between the two drivers trying to stop him from winning his first NASCAR title, Hamlin didn’t participate in the generally good-natured — but pointed — mudslinging being tossed at him from both sides. What a way for Hamlin to spend his 30th birthday! “He definitely seems like the most nervous,” Harvick said, nodding at Hamlin. “For us, I mean, we have nothing to lose. This guy does,” Johnson said, putting his arm around Hamlin. On and on it went for more than an hour, as reading body language became important during the many awkward silences. Harvick made at least two jokes about Hamlin using the same carburetor he had last week in Phoenix, when his car was unable to make it to the finish on fuel. The gaffe cost
Hamlin a more sizable lead in the standings heading into Sunday’s race at HomesteadMiami Speedway. Had Hamlin not needed to make a late fuel stop, he likely would have taken a lead of almost 60 points into the finale. Instead, he’s up by 15 over Johnson and 46 over Harvick in the closest race since the Chase made its debut in 2004. Hamlin recognized the lost opportunity immediately after Sunday’s race, and still showed the marks of his frustration four days later. “It was frustrating for a little while. I got the bloody knuckles to prove it,” he said. “We’re all going to have emotions on those kind of days.” He insisted, though, there are no lingering issues from the disappointment in the desert and he came to Miami with a clear head, focused on the task at hand. “When I said I was leaving Phoenix, I left Phoenix, it was over with,” he said. “It was completely over with. The only time I relived it is when I got home, I do my normal thing, always rewatch the races no matter what to learn as much as I can. “Once that I was done, turned the TV off, thought about it a little bit before I went to bed. When I woke up the next day, just kept myself busy.” Johnson has the experience of participating in the six Chases all the way to the finale. He lost to Kurt Busch by just eight points in 2004, and a blown tire prevented him from challenging Tony Stewart in 2005. The next four years belonged to him. He’s had the title pretty much in hand by the time he’s gotten to the finale, and he hasn’t had to race very hard at Homestead since 2005. Harvick has proven to be unflappable since he was rushed into the Cup Series as the replacement driver fol-
lowing Dale Earnhardt’s death in the 2001 Daytona 500. Very little rattles the driver known as “Happy,” a bizarre moniker for a guy known for his sharp tongue and the masterful mind games he plays with competitors. Hamlin, on the other hand, has yet to be in this position during his NASCAR career. Nobody has any idea how he’ll handle the stress Sunday, and if he’ll be able to hold off two drivers who seemed far more relaxed than he did on the podium. When the news conference was over, Hamlin broke into a wide smile as he stood next to Johnson and Harvick, both stone-faced, with the Sprint Cup trophy. They all then went their separate ways, and Hamlin insisted he was unrattled. “It’s almost endearing ... we say the things that we say about each other and our teams because it’s so close,” he said. “You’re looking for any advantage. If you can get into a guy’s head, then that’s going to be an advantage.” A week ago, Johnson said he never gets too caught up in mind games and chooses instead to focus only on what he personally has to do. Those who waste time on playing games, Johnson theorized, “are almost Jedi mind-tricking themselves.” We’ll see in the final race what the effects of Thursday’s show will be, but Hamlin seemed convinced he’s unaffected. “I’m not afraid to hear what people have to say, and critics and whatnot, because ultimately anything negative that I hear is fuel,” Hamlin said. “I prefer to stay busy and things like that because the more I think about it, the more nervous you get. “And really, this shouldn’t be a nervous time. This should be a very exciting time in my career.”
Harvick comfortable with legacy BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Now that the ordeal has been in his rearview mirror for nearly a decade, Kevin Harvick acknowledges there was a time when he didn’t want anything to do with Dale Earnhardt’s legacy. Harvick abruptly took the wheel at Richard Childress Racing in 2001, just days after Earnhardt died in a crash at Daytona. With all those heavy hearts for Earnhardt came even heavier scrutiny for Harvick. The cars he was driving had a No. 29 on the side, but everybody — including Earnhardt’s soul-stricken legion of fans — knew they were really just Dale’s No. 3s with a new paint job. In hindsight, Harvick acknowledges that the pressure of replacing a racing legend under the most awkward of circumstances was too much to take at times. But now that he’s racing for a NASCAR championship of his own, Harvick has grown to embrace the Earnhardt legacy. “I embraced it zero in the beginning,” Harvick said Thursday, as drivers prepared for Sunday’s Sprint Cup season finale. “I wanted to change the color of the car, I wanted new sponsors. If he wore a white suit, I wanted a black suit. I wanted zero to do with it.” Today, Harvick says he has a better perspective on the idea that he and Earnhardt will forever be tied together. “You get a little bit older and you really start listening, and you really start understanding: People aren’t trying to make you into him, it’s just a part of our company that you have to be comfortable with,” Harvick said. “And I’ve gotten comfortable with that.” Now Harvick is in position to deliver another championship to Earnhardt’s former car
owner and close friend, Richard Childress. Harvick is third in the standings going into Sunday’s race, 46 points behind leader Denny Hamlin and 31 points behind Jimmie Johnson. And after handling the pressure and scrutiny that came along with replacing Earnhardt, Harvick believes he is ready to run for a title. “It all has worked backwards for me with coming in, with taking over Dale’s car,” Harvick said. “You started with the biggest press conference you’ll ever be a part of in your whole life. You start with the weight of the world on your shoulders. As it’s gone through the years, it’s gotten easier. It’s almost like you’ve gotten prepared for these situations before you even got started.” Harvick still vividly remembers the details of his first race as Earnhardt’s replacement, from the bright lights of a news conference to a private conversation with Dale Earnhardt Jr. But Harvick remembers almost nothing about winning at Atlanta, because it all became a blur. “I was 25 years old and having fun and racing Nationwide cars and just come out of Trucks and doing my own thing in late models, and the next thing you know, you’re in the biggest thing that ever happened to the sport,” Harvick said. “Well, I watched it. But until you’re in the middle of it, you don’t realize all the things that come at you.” While Harvick hasn’t always seen eye-toeye with Childress on the direction the team should take over the years, any past disagreements seem to have brought them closer. “Richard and I have been through a lot together,” Harvick said. “We’ve talked about what we have to do to get to this point. Whether we win or lose this year, we’ve taken a huge step towards achieving those goals and put ourselves as a company back in contention.”

Alabama routs Georgia State Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — No. 10 Alabama got all the yards, points and big plays, with none of the drama. That comes next week. Greg McElroy completed 12 of 13 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns and the Crimson Tide routed fledgling Georgia State 63-7 on Thursday night, then quickly moved on to No. 2 Auburn and the Iron Bowl. It was the most points for the Crimson Tide (9-2) since a 66-3 win over Vanderbilt in 1979. “It’s pretty much what we expected coming in,” said Mark Barron, who had one of the Tide’s four interceptions. “The game plan was pretty simple so everybody was able to come out and just play.” The game against a Football Championship Subdivision team competing in its first year of college football was predictably little more than a warmup for next week’s showdown with the Tigers. The Panthers (6-5) are led by former Tide coach Bill Curry, who was more accustomed to being on the other side of Bryant-Denny Stadium abuse. “Alabama has a great football team, I think the best Alabama team I’ve ever seen,” Curry said. “Maybe the best Nick Saban team I’ve ever seen. “My fervent desire and what we worked hard to prepare to do was to not be overwhelmed by the whole scene, but we were. We were utterly overwhelmed.” McElroy set an Alabama single-game completion percentage mark of 92.3 with a minimum of 10 attempts. Mark Ingram ran for 86 yards and a touchdown and Julio Jones caught seven passes for 86 yards and two scores before the stars yielded to the backups in the second quarter. Washington 24, UCLA 7 SEATTLE — Jake Locker scored on a 3-yard run in the first half, and Quinton Richardson returned an interception 28 yards for a touchdown with 6:22 left to help Washington keep its fledgling bowl hopes alive. AUBURN An attorney for Kenny Rogers said Thursday his client knows he made “a stupid decision” when he sent a fellow Mississippi State booster a text of Cecil Newton’s payment plan to secure his son’s commitment to the Bulldogs. “I’m not even sure Kenny completely understands why he did it,” Doug Zeit told The AP. “The best I can tell you is Cecil Newton made a few calls insisting that he do it, so Kenny went ahead and sent the text message.” Zeit confirmed Rogers sent the text to Bill Bell requesting $80,000 the day after Cam Newton signed with MSU, $50,000 30 days later and another $50,000 30 days after that. Zeit says no money ever changed hands. CLEMSON CLEMSON, S.C. — Wide receiver Bryce McNeal will miss the upcoming Atlantic Coast Conference game against Wake Forest with an injured heel. Also out for Saturday are offensive guard Kalen Davis, defensive tackle Miguel Chavis and linebackers Brandon Maye, John Wright and Daniel Andrews. MARYLAND COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland’s athletic director says Ralph Friedgen will return to coach the Terrapins in 2011. Kevin Anderson made the announcement Thursday, which was based on Maryland’s turnaround this year. After going 2-10 last season, the Terps are 7-3 and still in contention for the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. Friedgen has one year left on his contract after this season. After that, offensive coordinator James Franklin must take over or receives a $1 million buyout.
NEW YORK — For once, Felix Hernandez got all the support he needed for a big win. The Seattle ace earned the AL Cy Young Award on Thursday despite a modest 13-12 record. His major league-leading 2.27 ERA and superior stats put him far ahead of Tampa Bay’s David Price and the Yankees’ CC Sabathia and their impressive win-loss numbers. Victimized by the Mariners’ poor hitting all season, Hernandez found ample backing with the voters in this pitchers’ duel. They clearly recognized how little the last-place Mariners helped him — in 10 starts, they were either shut out or held to one run. “This confirms the Cy Young is an award not only for the pitcher with the most wins, but the most dominant,” a teary-eyed Hernandez said while celebrating with relatives at the family home in Valencia, Venezuela. King Felix got 21 of the 28 first-place votes and 167 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The 24-year-old right-hander led the league in innings (249 2-3), was second in strikeouts (232) and held AL opponents to the lowest batting average (.212). Price, who went 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA, was second with four first-place votes and 111 points. Sabathia, who was 21-7 with a 3.18 ERA, drew the other three firstplace votes and finished third at 102.

Goodell praises Vick
ST. PIERRE FroM 1B
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says Michael Vick is doing all the right things and he’s proud of the way the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback has turned his life around after serving time in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. Speaking to the New York Daily News on a train ride to Philadelphia, Goodell said the 30-year-old Vick is doing a terrific job on and off the field. Goodell says society needs more success stories and he’s hoping Vick will be one, a person who made tragic error and overcomes it. Goodell says he is in frequent contact with Vick either by phone or by text message, offering encouragement and guidance. The Eagles are taking their gridiron off the grid. The team said that it will add wind turbines, solar panels and a cogeneration plant at Lincoln Financial Field over the next year, a combination that will make the stadium self-sufficient and let the Eagles sell some power back to the electric grid. GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Left tackle Shawn Andrews missed his second straight practice, and his status for Sunday’s game against his former Philadelphia teammates is uncertain. REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — The Redskins could be without half of their starting defensive backfield when they face Randy Moss and the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Carlos Rogers said his right hamstring is still sore after hurting it in Monday night’s 59-28 loss to Philadelphia, while safety LaRon Landry is fighting a sore Achilles’ tendon that has limited him in practice for several weeks. Ryan Torain was set to start at running back Monday night, but he aggravated a hamstring injury during warmups, giving undrafted rookie running back Keiland Williams a first career start. Torain has not practiced this week. SAINTS METAIRIE, La. — Running back Pierre Thomas says he could return to the field “sooner than people think.” Thomas is suiting up for prac-
tice again this week after spending most of the past seven weeks in the training room because of a severe left ankle sprain. SEAHWAKS RENTON, Wash. — Matt Hasselbeck is ready to play against the Saints despite two cracked bones in his left wrist. Even if he couldn’t tie his own shoes earlier this week. Hasselbeck solicited help from third-string quarterback J.P. Losman in order to lace up his cleats before practice on Wednesday. “I won’t tell you what Charlie (Whitehurst) had to tie, something else,” Hasselbeck joked of his backup. JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Dwight Lowery will sit out against the Texans with a concussion. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery did not practice for the second straight day after suffering a slight tear to his left groin, but he did some light jogging on the field and on a water treadmill. Cotchery won’t rule out playing Sunday. TEXANS HOUSTON — Quarterback Matt Schaub returned to the team after he was hospitalized with an injury to the bursa sac in his right knee. Schaub practiced Thursday, and coach Gary Kubiak expects him to start against the Jets. PATRIOTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady practiced on a limited basis after missing Wednesday’s session with a foot injury. Last week, he skipped Wednesday’s practice, then was limited the next two days before playing well in a 39-26 win over Pittsburgh. BILLS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Rookie running back C.J. Spiller apologized before practice for using a derogatory term toward gays that he posted on his Twitter account. Spiller used the term Wednesday while exchanging tweets with former Clemson teammate and Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Ricky Sapp. The original tweet has been deleted. BENGALS CINCINNATI — The Bengals have signed fifth-year defensive end Victor Adeyanju.

Bears blank ailing Miami BY STEVEN WINE Associated Press
MIAMI — The Chicago Bears had a ready response for Brandon Marshall’s Bears 16 taunting. Julius Peppers and a swarming Dolphins 0 defense allowed only 187 yards and a single third-down conversion Thursday, and the Bears won 16-0 to send the injury-ravaged Miami Dolphins to their second home shutout in 40 years. Marshall drew a flag for taunting when he flipped the ball at former Denver teammate Jay Cutler, standing in front of the Bears bench. Marshall also was penalized for an illegal block and dropped two passes before he left the game in the second quarter after aggravating a sore right hamstring. Miami’s already depleted offensive line lost center Cory Procter with a left knee injury, and third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen took six sacks in his first NFL start since 2008. Peppers had three sacks for the Bears, who earned their first shutout since Nov. 19, 2006. Robbie Gould put Chicago ahead 9-0 by finishing three short drives with field goals. Matt Forte carried 25 times for 97 yards and a score for the Bears, who converted 10 of 18 third-down situations.
St. Pierre, who had last practiced in January as he finished a stint with Arizona, was spending his days taking care of his 18-month-old son in the Boston area and doing some television work when he was signed to the practice squad on Friday. He was promoted to the active roster Tuesday. He joked Wednesday that they put his locker by the offensive linemen because they’re “trying to tell me something about my waistline.” After splitting time with the first team Wednesday he said it was “surreal” to think he might start. Now he really is — and against Ray Lewis the and Ravens’ ferocious defense to boot. “I figured with Tony being in the of- PIKE fense they would go that way,” said St. Pierre, who is spending 12 to 14 hours at the stadium this week in a cram session to learn the offense. Not only will he be facing the league’s 10th-rated defense that’s had 10 days to stew over a last-minute loss to Atlanta, the Panthers will likely be without their top three running backs, No. 3 receiver and two of their starting offensive linemen. Running backs Jonathan Stewart (concussion) and Tyrell Sutton (ankle) missed practice Thursday a day after DeAngelo Williams (foot) was placed on injured reserve. Left guard Travelle Wharton (toe) missed his second straight workout a week after Jeff Otah (knee) was placed on IR. Receiver Brandon LaFell (concussion) didn’t practice Thursday, either. And now Fox has decided Pierre “gives us the best chance” instead of Pike, who was 6 of 12 for 47 yards while playing the fourth quarter of Carolina’s 34-3 loss to New
LONDON FroM 1B He’d already led a fascinating life. Not many pro draft picks own a Ph.D, but Dellinger, a brilliant engineer and craftsman, was one of a kind. Athletically, he was good at everything. He was the No. 3 scorer in Rowan County basketball as a senior, averaging 15 points a game, and he stood out in baseball. “But football was his best sport,” said W.A. Cline, a star athlete at Granite Quarry High when Dellinger was at Rockwell. “We were good friends but also great rivals. He could pass, and he was great at running Rockwell’s option offense.” Rockwell’s 1957 season began with the first day of practice on Aug. 15. Coaches Carl Rudisell and Jerry Pless were disappointed at the turnout — 18 boys. Once school started, however, 10 more who had been working summer jobs swelled the ranks. The 11 starters were all seniors, and the Rockets had their way with schools such as Norwood and Hartsell. Dellinger told me a story about one his teammates getting an awful haircut. To correct the accident, his head had to be almost shaved. That led to a whole team of close-cropped heads. Letters spelling out V-I-C-T-O-R-Y were carved into the buzz-cuts. There was another story about a game against Bandys. Rockwell led 13-0 when the lights went out and it was denied a win. Rockwell still won its first seven games that season. So did Granite Quarry. The undefeated rivals met on Nov. 1, 1957, with a playoff berth and the Granite Belt Conference title on the line. There were an estimated 2,200 witnesses. Nelson Durham ran the opening kickoff back 88 yards for a Granite Quarry TD, and Durham also threw a touchdown pass to Cline. But Rockwell rallied. Dellinger ran for a tiebreaking PAT and scored the clinching TD in a 20-13 win. “My first two years at Granite we weren’t very good, but we beat Rockwell,” Cline said. “My last two years we had really good teams, but Rockwell beat us.” In the fall of 1959, the two schools would combine forces as East Rowan. Rockwell beat Stanley to open the playoffs, but it lost to Marshall High, the unbeaten Skyline Confer-

Marshall fullback Bruce Baldwin got a first down by that margin on a fourth-and-1 play at the Rockwell 2. Then Marshall punched in the TD that beat Rockwell 13-7. Dellinger accounted for Rockwell’s TD. With 7:42 left in the game, he scooted 38 yards around right end on a double-reverse. Dellinger went to N.C. State with plans to be a quarterback, but the presence of Gabriel, who was
in the top 10 in Heisman voting in 1961, changed the script. “We had Gabriel, so there was no way Tom was going to play quarterback,” said Oscar Overcash, a Landis native who played at N.C. State with Dellinger. “But Tom was good on defense. He became a fine free safety.” There were limited substitution rules in effect those days. When the Wolfpack went on defense, Dellinger replaced Gabriel. Dellinger lettered in 1960 and led the Wolfpack in picks in 1961.
He joked with Gabriel that he actually played more than the superstar did. “Our offense was out of there quick, and our defense was out there a long time,” Dellinger would tell him. Dellinger was drafted in the fifth round in December of 1961 by the American Football League’s Buffalo Bills. The AFL and NFL competed furiously for talent, so the draft was held earlier then. Dellinger signed with the Bills shortly after the draft.
Orleans on Nov. 7. “You’re always disappointed if you’re not the guy,” Pike said. “At the same point you don’t have much time to hang your head.” St. Pierre was a two-year starter at Boston College before being selected by the Steelers. But he never was able to rise above No. 3 quarterback there or in Baltimore or Arizona. He went four straight seasons without throwing a pass before a brief appearance for Arizona last season. He said he had a back injury and the Cardinals weren’t committed to bringing him back. St. Pierre had only one offseason workout, with New England but wasn’t offered a deal. He then turned down a contract for about $50,000 to play for Omaha in the United Football League. “I’ve played long enough in the league where (money) wasn’t a huge issue for me,” St. Pierre said. “With a young kid, I didn’t want to uproot him and bring him to Omaha, Neb.” UFL contracts don’t have an out clause to go to the NFL, which reduced the available pool of QBs for Carolina to choose from. So now St. Pierre is not only on an NFL roster, he’s starting. “I don’t know how many times this has ever happened really,” he said. The Panthers did have a similar situation in 2007, when they brought in 43-year-old Vinny Testaverde on Tuesday and he won a game at Arizona on Sunday. “John Fox came in to me on Wednesday and said, ‘Vinny Testaverde came in and did this three years ago,’ ” St. Pierre said. “And I said, ‘Well, Vinny has a little better resume than I do.’ “I appreciate they have enough faith to throw me out there. I hope I can reward them by holding my own Sunday.”
NOTES: Defensive end Charles Johnson (hip) missed practice Thursday after being limited a day earlier. ... Linebacker Jon Beason (knee) was limited after sitting out Wednesday.
Dellinger, who was 6-foot-2 and weighed 190 pounds, was picked for three college all-star games, including the biggest one. He was chosen for the 50-man college all-star squad that opposed the NFL champion Green Bay Packers at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Aug. 3, 1962. Otto Graham coached the all-stars. Overcash is still pleased Dellinger beat out Wyoming’s Chuck Lamson for the free safety job. Wyoming had beaten the Wolfpack 15-14 in 1961 partly because Overcash had snapped a ball through the goal posts and into the bleachers for a safety with N.C. State in punt formation. The all-stars had Gabriel and John Hadl quarterbacking but lost to Bart Starr and that great Packers machine 42-20. Dellinger spent half the 1962 season on Buffalo’s reserve corps, known as the “Taxi Squad.” While he was in Buffalo, Dellinger began working as rocket test engineer, and his next career took off. He returned to Raleigh for more engineering education, earning a masters and doctorate. His future wife was at Meredith. He married Nancy Evans in 1964. Dellinger spent 27 years with General Electric, then went to work for IBM after the space race died down. He moved as far away as Seattle and sold robots for a while. Coming back to North Carolina to retire, he amazed many with his inventions, his paintings and his woodworking talent. His obituary in Thursday’s Charlotte Observer was called to my attention by a fellow who attended rival Granite Quarry, which says something about how much people thought of Dellinger. Overcash says he’ll cherish the time he got to spend with Dellinger at the N.C. State-North Carolina game last season. Pat Powell, another of Dellinger’s college teammates, lives in the N.C. mountain village of Clyde. He’s organized many Wolfpack reunions, and Dellinger, who didn’t see his teammates for decades during his working years, always loved those gatherings. “I gave Tom some lumber once, and he made me the most beautiful swing that you’ve ever seen,” Powell said. “It’s out in my yard, facing west. And as long as I live, I’ll have that swing. “As the sun down goes down, I’ll sit out there and I’ll remember what a good man and teammate Tom was.”

GALLAGHER FROM 1B Neither has Warren. To their credit, both were superb in first-round playoff games. “It’s just unfortunate,” Woody said. “But Shaun doesn’t let things get him bent out of shape. I don’t think it bothers him.”
In a strange twist of coincidence, Salisbury and Morris face Forest Hills at home tonight. Forest Hills is coached by John Lowery, as in Shrine Bowl head coach John Lowery. It may not mean anything as far as the Shrine Bowl, but you know Morris would like a big game to show what the all-star fans might miss. Pinyan may want to prove a point and run Morris about 30 times. As quickly as the Hornets have been scoring lately, the PINYAN offense may not have 30 plays in the game if it’s hitting on all cylinders like last week, when the Hornets scored 56 points against North Surry.
You want carries? Warren needs just 53 to get to 1,000 for his career. If the running game’s working tonight at home against Concord, Woody may just give it to him that many times. You want yards? Only Brandon Blackburn from Texas (3,059 yards) and Angelo Rivera from New Mexico (2,963) rank above Warren on the MaxPreps list.
But all talk really comes back to West Rowan, doesn’t it? The Falcons have the most impressive numbers. They’ve won 42 straight games, the longest streak in the nation. And they’ll be favored at home against Northwest Cabarrus, a team they have already beaten. Northwest rallied from a 17-7 deficit to defeat West Iredell last week. Dinkin Miller isn’t usually mentioned in the same breath with Morris and Warren, but maybe he should be. Miller, a junior, has his own 1,000-yard season going. No, Morris and Warren might not be Shrine Bowlers. But don’t blame Young. He tried.

Nash sits while Orlando rolls past Suns Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Jameer Nelson had 15 points and a season-high 12 assists, and the Orlando Magic easily handled a Phoenix Suns team playing without Steve Nash in a 105-89 win on Thursday night. Dwight Howard added 20 points and 12 rebounds, and every starter scored in double digits for the Magic, which built a 32-point lead and blew past the Suns from the opening tip.
With Nash sidelined because of a sore groin, backup point guard Goran Dragic had 10 points, four assists and four rebounds. Grant Hill scored 21 points in the lone bright spot for the Suns. Pacers 107, Clippers 80 INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Granger scored 22 points and Roy Hibbert had 18 points and eight rebounds for short-handed Indiana. Brandon Rush and A.J. Price each added 14 points for the Pacers, who
shot 51 percent from the field to make up for the absence of starters Darren Collison and Mike Dunleavy. Indianapolis native Eric Gordon had 19 points and Blake Griffin added 12 for the Clippers. BLAZERS PORTLAND, Ore. — For the third time in four years, Greg Oden’s knees have betrayed him. Oden, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, will miss the season after he has microfracture surgery on his
left knee. Oden’s rookie year was postponed because of similar surgery on his right knee, and last season he broke his left kneecap early in December and again required surgery. He was still rehabbing when the latest problem was discovered. “As you can expect, this young man is devastated about not having the opportunity to play this season, being so close to getting back on the floor and just all of a sudden, this sit-
uation comes up and it’s like, here we go again for him,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. WARRIORS OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors forward David Lee was released from a hospital after undergoing a second procedure on his left elbow to treat an infection.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Luke Hancock had a career-high 18 points to lead George Mason past Charlotte 78-56 at the Charleston Classic on Thursday night. Hancock scored 13 of his points in the second half as the Patriots (2-0) turned a tight contest into a rout. George Mason let a doubledigit lead dwindle to 30-24 by halftime and Charlotte (1-2) seemed poised to get back in it. The Patriots quickly ended the 49ers’ comeback hopes. Mike Morrison had a basket and a threepoint play to push George Mason’s edge to 38-26. Jamar Briscoe led the 49ers with 20 points. Shamari Spears (Salisbury) had 11 points and four rebounds. The 49ers made just 4 of their first 13 shots and committed six turnovers to trail 22-11 in the opening 12 minutes.

Up 14 at the half, Kansas State (3-0) couldn’t shake Presbyterian. The Blue Hose (0-2) opened the half with 13-7 run and then kept chipping away. Jake Troyli and Khalid Mutakbbir hit 3-point shots to cut the Wildcats’ lead to 63-60 with 9:35 to play.

Wolfpack hammers East Carolina BY PETE IACOBELLI Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Lorenzo Brown had 16 N.C. State 85 points and Scott ECU 65 Wood 13 as North Carolina State blew out state rival East Carolina 85-65 at the Charleston Classic on Thursday night. The Wolfpack (2-0) improved to 19-1 against the Pirates (2-1), who lost for the first time under new coach Jeff Lebo. Brown, a freshman, and Wood, a sophomore, provided the scoring punch for North Carolina State as senior starters Tracy Smith and Javier Gonzalez mostly watched from the bench. Not that it mattered much. The Wolfpack’s young players took control with less than six minutes to play in the first half and trailing 23-22. They followed with a 42-10 burst that lasted nearly 15 minutes and spanned halftime. Brown scored 11 points in the charge that put North Carolina State
ahead 64-33 with 12 minutes left. Corvonn Gaines had 11 points to lead East Carolina. The Wolfpack had five players in double-figure scoring and DeShawn Painter and Ryan Harrow had double-doubles. Painter, a sophomore, had 12 points and 10 rebounds while Harrow, a freshman, had 11 points and 10 assists. North Carolina State takes on George Mason, a 78-56 winner over Charlotte, in tonight’s semifinals. The Wolfpack and coach Sidney Lowe seem to thrive at events like this. Three years ago, North Carolina State won the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Fla., and beat ranked Villanova to take the title. Last year, the Wolfpack did it again in going 4-0 at the Glenn Wilkes Classic in Daytona Beaach, Fla., including a 60-58 win over Lebo’s Auburn Tigers in the final game. The Pirates hung with North Carolina State and moved in front 23-22 on Gaines’ two foul shots with 5:33 left. Then little went right for East
TAR HEELS FroM 1B Barnes became the first freshman named to The Associated Press preseason All-America team since voting began before the 1986-87 season. If he keeps dazzling like this, the 6-foot-8 forward will surely find a spot on the year-end team. Barnes embraces the spotlight that made him a player to watch this season. “I wouldn’t call it pressure, I call it having high expectations for myself,” he said. He made it look effortless from 3-point range, and when he wasn’t on the perimeter, Barnes beat the Pride (1-1) inside, skying over two helpless defenders for a putback that wowed a strong Tar Heels turnout at Coliseo de Puerto Rico. Barnes also showed some quickness as he sprinted down the lane and turned a nice pass from Tyler Zeller into a three-point play. He was 6 for 7 overall and 4 for 4 on 3s for 17 points — and there was still 5 minutes left in the first half. NBA scouts watching from behind the basket could fill out their reports on him then. “It was a good first start and we have to build off it,” Barnes said. Leslie McDonald scored 16 points and Justin Watts added 13 for the Tar Heels. John Henson had 12 points and 11 rebounds. The Tar Heels made 12 of 17 from 3-point range and outrebounded Hofstra 50-29.

North carolina coach roy Williams brings his team together during a break against Hofstra in puerto rico. It was a typical Roy Williams game — run, run, run and pile up the points. “We had a lot of things to like,” Williams said. Not for Hofstra. This was the Pride’s first ever game against North Carolina and they won’t mind
if it’s the last for some time. Their bad day started before tip when it read “Hoftra” on the scoreboard. The mistake wouldn’t get fixed until halftime. Charles Jenkins valiantly did his best for 20 minutes to match Barnes. Jenkins, the Colonial Athletic Asso-
ciation player of the year last season, scored 20 points in the first half on 9 for 11 shooting. Jenkins scored 24 points and Mike Moore had 15. At one point, Hofstra was a solid 10 for 17 from the field. The problem? North Carolina was 6 for 7 on
Carolina. They missed nine of their final 13 attempts and could not slow down the surging Wolfpack. C.J. Williams had three buckets and Brown 3 points as North Carolina State closed the half with a 15-6 run. Things only got worse for East Carolina after halftime as the Wolfpack hit nine consecutive shots — most from in close — to build their large lead. Lebo had finally seen enough, drawing a technical with 12:33 to go as he yelled at an official. East Carolina’s high point in the second half may have been freshman Robert Sampson’s high-skying jam of a missed shot. Sampson is the son of former Virginia and Houston Rockets star Ralph Sampson. The only negative for North Carolina State was Smith’s condition. He went to the locker room in the first half and came out with his left leg heavily taped. He mostly sat on the bench and limped to team huddles during timeouts. Gonzalez was whistled for two quick fouls in each half and played just 10 minutes.
3s and led 42-23. Hofstra coach Mo Cassara hoped North Carolina would have an off night and allow him to pump up his team at the break. When Hofstra’s shooting went south, the game turned into a romp. Williams emptied the bench with two minutes left and North Carolina up 103-58. “Our goal has got to be, we’ve got to find a way to win a game down here,” Cassara said. “We’ve got some good players that are going to get better and we’ve got another opportunity tomorrow.” Williams had the worst season of his career last year when the Tar Heels reached the NIT championship game just a year after winning the national championship. “It’s something that you try and forget about as quickly as possible,” Tar Heels guard Larry Drew II said. “Still, you try and hold on to a little piece so you can use it as motivation.” With Barnes on board, the Tar Heels found themselves in the Top 10 of the preseason poll and now have their focus squarely on this tournament’s championship. The Tar Heels set records in the four-year tournament for points, points in a half (1st half, 58), field goals made (40), field goals attempted (71) and assists (29). “It was outrageous how well we shot it early,” Williams said. “It’s fun to score. I think guys enjoy playing that way, I enjoying coaching it and the fans like to see it. Everything looks so much better when the ball goes in the basket.”

Doctor unsympathetic to pain Dear Dr. Gott: Five years ago, I complained to my doctor about serious pain in the area of my gallbladder. The pain also extended around to my back. A sonogram was taken and the report came back normal. I went back to the same doctor two weeks ago to prepare for a colonoscopy. I complained about the same pain. He thrust his hand into that area; I screamed and my legs flew up. Another sonogram was taken and came back normal. Well, there DR. PETER is nothing norGOTT mal to me about having this endless pain and discomfort. Is there a more in-depth examination? Can a gallbladder really hurt this long and still be normal? Dear Reaer: It shouldn’t, but apparently it can if a physician is unable to get to the bottom of this or any other issue. If surgery is performed and the gallbladder is not removed, there is a probability that additional stones will form. The gallbladder is a small muscular sac located under the liver and near the upper portion of the small intestine. The liver produces bile, a substance that aids digestion. The bile is then sent through to the gallbladder, which contracts when food enters the digestive tract. Unfortunately, some of the components of bile crystallize to form stones, a condition known as cholelithiasis.
These stones may flow along with the bile but can become trapped in the duct, causing severe pain. When the stones pass through the duct or fall back into the gallbladder, the pain subsides. When blockage occurs, surgery may be necessary to prevent serious damage to the liver and other organs. Symptoms present with intermittent nausea, vomiting and pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage; radiation to the upper back is common. Acute cholecystitis presents with severe upper right abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. Pain may radiate to the back or under the shoulder blades or appear on the left side of the body. Chronic cholecystitis can present with gas, nausea and abdominal pain following meals. Diagnosis might be made with the assistance of liver function tests, amylase or lipase levels and a complete blood count blood. Abdominal X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI may also be helpful. An oral cholecystogram can help determine whether the gallbladder anatomy is normal, allowing it to function properly. A HIDA scan can help determine how well the gallbladder is functioning. Testing is painless and should not add to your stress level. There are alternatives to surgery, including lithotripsy and dissolution therapy. ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography) can be used if stones are suspected. Surgeons have routinely performed laparoscopic surgery when blockage occurs.
There are two methods of removing the gallbladder — laparoscopically or through open (traditional) surgery. However, a newer -- albeit experimental — procedure is available that allows removal of the gallbladder without external incisions. It is known as natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). This advancement substantially reduces both pain levels and recovery time; however; further testing and documentation is necessary before adequate data can be documented. Measures to reduce the possibility of developing stones include the avoidance of alcohol, large meals, fatty foods and crash diets. Obesity and yo-yo dieting contribute to gallstones. Therefore, a careful weight reduction plan is appropriate. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Gallbladder Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and forwarded to PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Lead a loser to inspire partner BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Bill Lyon said, “If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.” At the bridge table, it is important to take care of losers, especially when you are declarer. But there is one unusual situation where a defender must put a loser to work. In this deal, how should the defense go to defeat four spades after West leads the heart ace? North’s three-heart cue-bid showed at least three-card spade support and game-invitational or better values. This is an excellent idea because then a jump-raise to three spades can be preemptive, showing four trumps and a weak hand,
trying to make life harder for the opponents. West can see three defensive tricks: two hearts and one club. Since declarer surely has the spade ace and diamond ace-king for his
opening bid and raise to game, the defense’s only chance for a fourth trick lies in the trump suit. However, if West leads another heart now and partner ruffs it, declarer will make a loser-onloser play, pitching his solitary club. As we saw yesterday, before going for an uppercut, first take all of your side-suit tricks. So, West must cash the club ace at trick three. Then, when wanting partner to ruff for an uppercut, lead a loser, not a winner. West should continue with a low heart, not the queen. If he leads a winner, he is telling partner not to ruff. Here, luckily, East, who might be thinking that declarer has the heart queen, cannot ruff low. But even if he did have 10-doubleton, he should still ruff high because the 10 would serve no purpose later on.

Agreements that you make with contacts who have clout will work out wonderfully for you in the near future. Chances are, you will line yourself up with a number of powerful allies who will demonstrate their worth. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — One of the qualities of your sign is that there is nothing wishy-washy about you. When events call for a strong character, you’ll be the first one to stand up and be noticed. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You are likely to team up again with someone with whom you’ve been successful in the past. You’ll most likely use similar means to achieve another collective goal. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — That protective nature of yours won’t hesitate to go to bat for someone who is near and dear to you, when you see s/he is in trouble and could use your help. Good for you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It might not be obvious to you, but your strength of character and determination come into play the moment you believe you or someone you love is in trouble. This may happen today. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — That wonderful optimism of yours, with its positive expectations, is what contributes to your successes. When it is coupled with practicality, as it is likely to be today, its power is awesome. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It is best not to see yourself as the underdog when negotiating an important deal, because it could cause you to get in a begging mode instead of acting from a strong position. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Friends who need a lot of pats on the back could be difficult for many to handle, but not you. You have the ability to make them feel special without being phony in any way whatsoever. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Everyone gets a day when people treat them in the same manner they have treated others, and today could be yours. I hope your remuneration is made up of lots of good happenings. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Lots of fun happenings shared with good co-workers, friends and associates are likely to make up most of your day. It could be just the lift you’ve needed and have been looking for. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Any barriers or obstacles shouldn’t bar you one bit from doing what you want. You’re the type of person who sees roadblocks but never lets them affect you. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although you won’t deliberately seek out competitive situations in either your business or social affairs, they could serve to encourage you to achieve what you want. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Provided you don’t leave anything up to chance, there are strong indications that you will collect what is owed you, even if that means calling in a marker on something that is long overdue.
