Post launches Christmas Happiness

BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

he state lottery is helping Rowan County expand its More at Four program and provide students with scholarships, but when it comes to class-size reduction — one of the key selling points touted by lottery supporters — it falls short of expectations. Whether the games are adequately funding local capital improvements, the fourth area targeted with lottery money, it depends on who you ask. Since the N.C. Education Lottery’s inception in 2006, Rowan County has received more than $5.2 million to pay for teaching positions, which were supposed to help lower class size in kindergarten through third grades. But Tara Trexler, chief financial officer with the Rowan-Salisbury School System, said that money has been used to retain teachers Test, 8A rather than hire more. Those funds are not distributed to the school system directly, but funneled through the state. “We have not had a reduction in class size in recent years, but have not had to increase class size yet either,” she said. Class size restrictions made before the creation of the lottery already limit kindergarten through third-grade classes to 18 students. “At best, it appears the state can continue to fund us at the low K-3 ration because of the lottery funding,” Trexler said. Delores Morris, the school system’s assistant superintendent for human resources, said reducing class size would greatly benefit students. “With less students, the teacher can provide more individualized instruction for each student and can

In a tough economy, many struggle to provide the basic needs — shelter, food, clothing. Many Rowan County children may go without presents this holiday season. The Christmas Happiness campaign helps those families in need buy gifts for their children. It’s a program sponsored by the Salisbury Post and the Rowan County Department of Social Services, which distributes the funds. Families that qualify for Christmas Happiness will receive a $25 voucher per child under the age of 18 in the home, or a maximum of $100 per family. “Many children will go without toys this Christmas unless there is help available to them. Christmas Happiwill ness meet the needs for many children this year who would otherwise not have anything under the Christmas tree,” said Social ServicSANDRA es Director WILKES S a n d r a Social services Wilkes. director The Department of Social Services expects more requests this year than they’ve ever had. “I base that on applications for food assistance and Medicaid, which have significantly increased over the last year related to the poor economy and so many people are out of work. Unemployment benefits are ending for some people and there will be very little money to provide for children this year,” Wilkes said. Last year, 2,857 children received help through the fund. Collections were received through Dec. 22, and Wilkes said that brought in $57,512. More money continued to come in after the initial vouchers were mailed bringing the grand total last year to $62,406. That is significantly less than the previous year’s total of $74,201. When the Christmas Happiness fund first began in 1952, the community contributed $1,801 and a decade ago, the amount contributed was $58,159. Families can access applications Nov. 24 on the Department of Social Services website. Applications will be processed on a first-come,

States boost payout rates to grow sales from 35 percent in previous years to 30 percent in order to increase prizes. About 58 percent of revenue went toward prizes this year. Van Denton, director of corporate communications for the N.C.

Pope’s book loosens stance on condoms VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI has opened the door on the previously taboo subject of condoms as a way to fight HIV, saying male prostitutes who use condoms may be beginning to act responsibly. It’s a stunning comment for a pontiff who has blamed condoms for making the AIDS crisis worse. The pope made the comments in an interview with a German journalist published as a book entitled “Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times,” which is being released Tuesday. The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano ran excerpts on Saturday. Church teaching has long opposed condoms because they are a form of artificial contraception, although the Vatican has never released an explicit policy about condoms and HIV. The Vatican has been harshly criticized for its position. Benedict said that condoms are not a moral solution to stopping AIDS. But he said in some cases, such as for male prostitutes, their use could represent a first step in assuming moral responsibility “in the intention of reducing the risk of infection.” Benedict made the comment in response to a general question about Africa, where heterosexual HIV spread is rampant.

Police find bodies of woman, 3 children

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A woman and three young children were found killed at a violent crime scene in a north Florida home on Saturday, and homicide detectives were out looking for whoever might have had a reason to harm them, police said. Police spokesman David McCranie wouldn’t elaborate on what signs of violence were found at the home, but investigators believe the four were slain by someone else. The woman appears to be the mother of the children, two of whom are 6 and one who is 3, he said. He said police “are trying to find out if anyone would want to harm the family.” Neighbors said the area has been plagued by burglaries.

Paul said although she had a pacemaker, she didn’t let it slow her down. “She wanted to go to every concert and play that came to Salisbury,” he said. “She wanted to go and be a part of everything.” Eva said her “free-spirited” mother always had an appreciation for the arts. “She always bought art from young artists to encourage them,” she said. “The walls of our house are just covered. “And she just loved the symphony.”

Naomi wasn’t the typical homemaker. “She just loved being out, she couldn’t stand being at home,” she said. “She never learned to cook ... if you ask my brother about my mother he would say, ‘She didn’t cook, she heated up,’ ” she said. Naomi, a Salisbury native and graduate of Catawba College, was an active member of the community and her church, St. John’s Lutheran. She went door-to-door campaigning for her son-in-law, David Bingham, before the November election. “She loved it,” Eva said. “A day meeting new people was her idea of a wonderful time.” During her adult life, Naomi was heavily involved in the Salisbury Women’s Club and Arc of Rowan County, a private nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people with developmental disabilities.

It’s unclear exactly when they died or when their remains were put in the tree. There were no signs of sexual assault. The remains of the family dog — a miniature pinscher named Tanner — were found in the tree with the bodies, said Joe Pejsa, a family friend. The victims disappeared Nov. 10 along with Herrmann’s daughter, Sarah Maynard, 13, who was found bound and gagged several days later in the basement of an unemployed tree-cutter, Matthew Hoffman. Hoffman is accused of kidnapping the girl and keeping her in the basement of his home in central Ohio.

Anti-Facebook pastor acknowledges affair NEPTUNE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — A pastor who said Facebook was a “portal to infidelity” and told married church leaders to delete their accounts or resign once testified that he had a three-way sexual relationship with his wife and a male church assistant. The Rev. Cedric Miller, 48, confirmed the information reported Saturday by the Asbury Park Press, which cited testimony he gave in a criminal case in 2003. Miller gained national attention when he issued the Facebook edict this week. He said it came about because much of the marital counseling he has performed over the past year and a half has concerned infidelity stemming from the social-networking website. The leader of Living Word Christian Fellowship Church in Neptune Township had claimed Facebook ignites old passions, and he ordered about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts.

Police searching for man in store shooting CONCORD — The Concord Police Department has identified a suspect in a shooting that occurred at the Catawba Food Mart, 4550 Davidson Highway about 2 p.m. Friday. Police are looking for Ladrawde Edward Davis, 29, of 901 Woodside Ave., Charlotte. Warrants for his arrest have been issued for attempted first-degree murder, kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of stolen goods. The victim was in the hospital and being treated for multiple gunshot wounds, DAVIS police said. Her name was not released. The investigation has revealed that a domestic argument began in the parking area and continued inside of the business, where the victim was shot by the suspect. Concord police believe Davis fled toward the Charlotte area after the shooting. Police are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 704-920-5000 or Cabarrus Crime Stoppers at 704-9327463.

Man gets death sentence for killing volunteer WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A North Carolina jury has sentenced a man to death for killing a 77-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer and to life without parole for beating one of her clients to death. Timothy Hartford, 40, was sentenced Friday for killing Anne Magness, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. The jury sentenced Hartford to life in prison without parole in the beating death of Bob Denning, 64. Hartford was convicted of murder, robbery and trying to kill Bill Magness, 81. Prosecutors say they’ll seek the death penalty for Hartford and his then-girlfriend, Ashley Kristine Smith. Smith’s trial has not started. Authorities say Hartford and Smith were robbing Denning at his home when Magness and her husband arrived with Denning’s lunch.

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education will discuss the school system’s student accountability and exit standards Monday. Board members are expected to decide whether or not to follow suit with the state’s decision to ditch accountability standards that link student performance with promotion and graduation. Although the state eliminated student gateways in October, local school systems have the option to continue enforcing the more rigorous standards. The gateways currently require third-, fifth- and eighth-graders to pass End-ofGrade tests in both reading and math to move to the next grade. High school students are required to pass five core End-of-Course tests including algebra I, biology, civics and economics, English I and U.S. history before graduating. Colby Cochran, the school system’s director of assessments and accountability, told the Post last month that it’s hard to tell how students will perform on the tests if the accountability stands are nixed. Earlier this month, the Kannapolis City Board of Education voted in favor of a first reading to revise the policy to fall in line with the state’s decision. The Rowan-Salisbury school board will also: • Receive a summary of the school system’s financial audit from 2009-10. • Receive an update on the district’s Race to the Top application. • View a copy of a DVD on the importance of the pledge of allegiance. • Consider extending the lease to 2025 for the Price of Freedom Museum housed at the old Patterson School on Weaver Road.

Kannapolis council to consider bond issue of $35 million KANNAPOLIS — The City Council will consider at its meeting Monday approving a $35 million bond issue to pay for capital projects at the N.C. Research Campus. If the council approves taking on the debt, the city would, among other things, use $13.5 million to build a new headquarters for the Cabarrus Health Alliance; $1.7 million to replace the deteriorating downtown water system; $1.35 million for a pedestrian tunnel at Village Park and stormwater line; and $6.3 million to reimburse Research Campus developer Castle & Cooke for previous projects. Kannapolis would repay the debt over 17 years using increased city property tax revenue generated within a development district currently dominated by the Research Campus as 50 percent of the property taxes collected in the district by Cabarrus County. Cabarrus County commissioners voted earlier this month to back the financing plan. The city and county initially considered tax-increment financing for a much larger amount to fund improvements around the Research Campus, but after the economy

Artist’s print shows Dairy Queen heyday BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

Rowan County artist Betty Sedberry has produced a watercolor print of Salisbury’s iconic Dairy Queen. The 14-by-24-inch print — 1,000 have been made from Sedberry’s original watercolor — is for sale at $45. Sedberry previously has done popular watercolors of three other Rowan County eateries, including Al’s Nighthawk, Zesto’s and Gary’s Barbecue in China Grove. Sedberry had to sign a license agreement with Dairy Queen for permission to sell her new print. She will be signing and selling the print from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat-

urday at the Dairy Queen. She also will be at her space in the Salisbury Emporium next Sunday. Salisbury’s uniquely styled Dairy Queen has been in business at the same West Innes Street location for 60 years. The Dairy Queen print includes several vintage cars and personal touches from the artist. Sedberry said owner Melissa Utley had only one request: the depiction of a little boy on an outside bench, looking into the window as employees prepare their cones, shakes and sundaes. A 1957 Dodge station wagon parked at the Dairy Queen is similar to the station wagon Sedberry’s parents had. On the tailgate are a girl and her two younger

brothers, which represent her family. Other scenes in the print include a boy feeding his ice cream cone to a dog, and his grandfather ordering another cone. There’s also a group of people visiting and talking with each other outside the windows where orders are taken — a familiar site at the DQ, Sedberry says. Other vehicles shown include a vintage yellow pickup, a “Driving Miss Daisy” character next to a Cadillac, a young couple in a red Corvette and a light blue Ford Mustang, similar to the 1966 model belonging to Robert and Jenny Collins.

Rubble left after the Webb Road Flea Market fire remains piled up. The Salisbury Planning Board is set to meet Monday to discuss a zoning request by the flea market owners. Jewelry and accessories at Oralia Canales’ booth sells fine on sunny days, but when it turns cold she has to close down.

FROM 3a can keep the stand from closing altogether for their sake. “I would like to stay open if for nothing else for them to have a pay day,” she said. “It’s not only me, it’s the people who work for me.” Cynthia and Audie Trexler said the weather doesn’t affect their business as much as the economy. They have a small building that they use to sell silk flowers and childrens toys. “People come in here to get out of the cold and rain,” Cynthia Trexler said. Audie Trexler, a victim of layoffs at Freightliner, has been unemployed for nearly two years and Cynthia Trexler works third shift at Walmart. The couple uses the money they make at the flea market to help makes ends meet. “We’re just trying to survive,” Audie Trexler said. “Business is about the same as before (the fire), it just hasn’t improved because nobody has a job around here and nobody’s hiring.” Audie Trexler said he’s noticed vendors staying open later to attract more business. “People used to pack up and leave around noon or 1 p.m.,” he said. “But people are staying out here longer.” Flea market manager Buddy Johnson said the fire

hasn’t reduced the number of vendors who come out every weekend. “We still have a good business out here, we just don’t have the buildings” he said. The future of the flea market remains uncertain. The Rowan County Planning Board will meet Monday to consider a rezoning request made by Compass Development Group of Matthews. A county ordinance allowed the owners the option

Two years later he was commissioned as an officer. He was released from active duty in 1946 but was recalled to duty in 1949 under President Henry Truman’s order to desegregate the armed services. Gene Gummersheimer, who served under Gravely on the USS Taussig during the Vietnam War, came with seven other men from as far away as Oregon to the ceremony. “I have the greatest respect for him,” Gummersheimer told the StarNews of Wilmington during the ceremony. The last Navy vessel commissioned in Wilmington was the USS North Carolina in May 2008. The week of activities leading up to the ceremony included a 5K run, golf, public tours and visits to local hospitals and senior centers.

WILMINGTON (AP) — The Navy’s newest destroyer was commissioned in Wilmington on Saturday, bearing the name of a Virginia man who was at the forefront of integrating the nation’s military’s ranks. The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer is named in honor of the late Vice Adm. Samuel L. Gravely, whose 38-year career included milestones such as being the country’s first black to command a Navy warship. “Wherever this ship sails, this ship will honor his legacy of excellence, of service and of perseverance,” Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, said in his keynote speech. Gravely died in 2004 at age 82. The native of Richmond, Va., also was the first black to command an American warship in combat, the first black to attain flag rank, become vice admiral and command a numbered fleet — the Third Fleet. Alma Gravely served as sponsor of the ship named for her late husband. At her command of “man our ship and bring her to life,” the 275-sailor crew ran through the crowd on the dock, boarded the ship and lined

BOND FROM 3a collapsed, Kannapolis could not get the bond rating it needed. Tax-increment financing — or “self-financing” — bonds also would have used the increase in tax revenue within the campus district to repay debt. However, they would not have required collateral. The financing avenue council members will consider Monday, called certificates of participation, do require collateral. The city will put up the new Health Alliance building. The council will also consider adopting a curbside recycling program, a measure city officials have debated for years. If approved, the program would cost each household $3.20 per month and would start July 1, 2011. The council meets at 6 p.m. at the Kannapolis Train Station, 201 S. Main St.

More colleges boost tuition RALEIGH (AP) — Trustees at North Carolina State approved a 6.2 percent tuition increase and North Carolina A&T approved a 6.5 percent increase on Friday. State university system policy limits tuition increases to 6.5 percent and the increases still must be approved by the UNC board of governors. The increase would push N.C. State’s in-state undergraduate tuition to more than $5,100 and A&T’s to $4,500. Out-of-state and graduate students would pay more. Education officials say they don’t expect the tuition increases to completely cover the anticipated state funding cuts. Increases also were approved recently at Chapel Hill and Greensboro.

SALISBURY POST

FROM 3a there couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a better man for the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really enjoy people enjoying Christmas,â&#x20AC;? said Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew as a little child that I enjoyed my parents taking me around to see the lights and of course that was before people did a whole lot of decorating.â&#x20AC;? It has taken Barger and his team of 10 men approximately 20 days and more than 160 hours to set up the lights and displays for Carolina Christmas. Though quite an undertaking, Barger is a former restaurant owner, little league coach, Rowan County Fourth of July Celebration chairman and a former church councilman, so he knows how to get the most out of a 24-hour day. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through his involvement in the Rowan County Youth Football League that he was able to re-connect with Mike Miller, president and founder of Miller Davis Agency, the company responsible for the set-up and operation of Carolina Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually coached Mike and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known his family all my life,â&#x20AC;? said Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He called me one day and wanted to know if I would be interested in coming to work for him. The rest is history.â&#x20AC;? After reconnecting, Barger and Miller spent 12 years trying to make a holiday light park a reality in various locations throughout North Carolina. In January 2009, conversations started taking place between Miller Davis, officials with Charlotte Motor Speedway and Christmas lighting company Winterland Inc., one of the largest holiday light display designers in the country, to put together a grand-scale holiday light park and village at the track.

le Sa

Just as hundreds of light displays have gone up at Charlotte Motor Speedway for Carolina Christmas, decorations are also going up all over the Barger house. His home holiday display, which he started doing 17 years ago, began as just a few decorations in the driveway and has increased every year since. Bargerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home now features 35 light displays, which come alive the day after Thanksgiving. Among the unique displays are Santa hitting a golf ball and Rudolph in a boat pulling Santa on skis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mostly do that on my own,â&#x20AC;? said Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother helps with the larger displays and my wife helps a bit as well, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly a oneman project because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one that knows where things go and how the decorations and lights should be.â&#x20AC;? While Charlotte Motor Speedway expects more than 60,000 cars to visit Carolina Christmas during the 42-night run of the event, Barger expects an average of 100 cars to visit his home light show each night. Barger says that while his display show is definitely a source of pride, between the two light shows there is no comparison, except for the joy and Christmas spirit that they both will bring to all the guests. Carolina Christmas will be one of the largest holiday light shows in the United States, featuring nearly 500 different LED light displays, a live Nativity scene in a realistic Bethlehem-themed village, carriage rides, a marshmallow roasting pit, a festival of trees and photos with Santa. For daily updates, connect with Charlotte Motor Speedway on Twitter at www.twitter.com/CLTMotorSpdwy or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/charlottemotorspeedway.

Speedway light show opens Monday at 6 p.m. Carolina Christmas, a 2.5-mile drive-through park featuring 1 million LED lights in holiday-themed displays, opens Monday and will operate through Jan. 2 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hours are 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. More than 60,000 cars and 250,000 people are expected to visit the speedway during the 42-night event. Due to holiday traffic at Concord Mills Mall, particularly on weekend evenings, Carolina Christmas visitors are encouraged to use U.S. 29 to get to the speedway, rather than using Interstate 85 and exit 49, Bruton Smith Boulevard. From Interstate 85, visitors are encouraged to use exit 48 to I-485, or exit 52 to Poplar Tent Road, and take

RALEIGH (AP) — Republicans narrowly selected state Rep. Thom Tillis of Mecklenburg County on Saturday as their nominee to become the next speaker of the North Carolina House. In doing so, the GOP picked a relative newcomer with fiscal expertise over the party’s outgoing floor chief for the past four years. House Republicans claimed 68 seats on Election Day, all but assuring sole GOP control of the 120-seat chamber and the speaker’s post for the first time since 1998. The actual vote for speaker occurs Jan. 26 on the session’s first day. Tillis, 50, who just won his third term to the Legislature, defeated three other candidates, including Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, the minority leader since 2007.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday the Department of Public Instruction released its estimate of the impact 5 percent and 10 percent budget cuts would have on the agency’s operations. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s budget office had asked for the estimates as the state prepares for a potential $3.5 billion budget deficit for fiscal year 2011-12. Other agencies were asked to come up with 15 percent cuts. Public education accounts for about 40 percent of the state budget. The state is in the earliest stages of the budgeting process and many things likely will change before lawmakers sign off on a final spending plan this summer.

SALISBURY POST

State Republicans question lottery spending BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

FROM 1a a portion of his money is going to education. “Most people who really buy a lot of tickets buy them for that reason,” he said. Virginia Basinger said she thinks the education “deserves more.” “The kids definitely deserve the best they can get,” she said. ••• North Carolina isn’t the only state allocating more money to prizes to attract players. In Virginia, where nearly 27 percent of every dollar earned by the state lottery was used for education this year, a record-breaking 59 percent of proceeds went to prizes. Prior to 1999, the Virginia lottery proceeds were used for state capital construction projects and deposited into the state’s General Fund. A state budget amendment in 1999 states lottery proceeds are to be used solely for educational purposes. More than 62 percent of the South Carolina Lottery’s sales went to prizes and about 27 percent went to support education. South Carolina legislationrequires “proceeds of lottery games must be used to support improvements and enhancements for educational purposes and programs as provided by the General Assembly and that the net proceeds must be used to supplement, not supplant, existing resources for educational purposes and programs.” ••• Although each state allocates about the same amount of money to education, the disbursement within the education sector varies. Five percent of all revenue from the North Carolina goes to the Education Lottery Reserve Fund, which can be used to support education if actual net revenues for the year are less than the appropriation for that year. After funds are transferred to reserves the remaining dollars are distributed in four areas. Fifty percent of funds are used to reduce class sizes in early grades and the state’s More at Four program, designed for at-risk 4-year-olds. Forty percent goes to support school construction and the remaining 10 percent is used by the State Educational Assistance Authority to fund need-based scholarships. The lottery makes up about 5 percent of the state’s education budget annually. Since its inception in 2002, South Carolina’s lottery has appropriated 74 percent of its education fund to higher edu-

Brock said now that Republicans will be the majority party in both chambers of the state legislature, he does not anticipate diverting lottery funds away from education. He said the lottery should be examined to trim administration costs. “We have to make sure that the money goes into the classrooms first,” he said. “I’m sure the Republicans would like to look at the lottery funds to make sure they go where they are advertised and have less money going to salaries.” Ten lottery officials have salaries exceeding $100,000 a year, according to a government employee salary data-

cation programs and scholarships, 24 percent to kindergarten through 12th-grade programs and 2 percent to community education programs. Funds for kindergarten through 12th-grade education include money for accountability resources programs and school buses. “Most of our lottery money goes to higher education,” said Pete Pillow, public information officer for the S.C. Department of Education. “We get a small fraction of their budget.” Pillow said most of the money received for K-12 education is used by school districts for special programs. “It sounds really good, but

it really doesn’t have much effect,” he said. The 2 percent devoted to community education is used for gambling addiction services, county libraries and allied health care initiatives. Virginia’s lottery proceeds made up about 7 percent of the state’s K-12 education budget in fiscal year 2010. All of Virginia’s lottery appropriation for education goes to benefit K-12 education.

“I voted against the lottery (because) I was afraid that the fund would be used for multiple purposes other than STEEN what it was intended.” In the budget for fiscal year 2010-11, state legislators took $35 million from the lottery to cover Medicaid and other social services expenses.

Republicans have opposed the state lottery since the first bill was introduced in 1983. That opposition is just as strong now — five years after legislation creating the lottery was signed into law. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties in Raleigh, said since its inception the lottery has been a “bad deal” for North Carolina. “I haven’t seen it do anything but hurt education overall,” he said. “It hurts because people think the lottery is taking care of education.” Brock said in some cases counties are less likely to allocate tax dollars or vote for bonds to support education because BROCK of the notion the lottery will provide the necessary funding. “People talk about how much money is going to education, they think the lottery is solving all the problems,” he said. “The percentage of the state education budget from the lottery is actually very, very small.” Lottery revenue makes up about 5 percent of the state education budget. N.C. Rep. Fred Steen said the lottery has turned into a “slush fund” when times are tough.

base maintained by the News and Observer of Raleigh. Tom Shaheen made more than $240,000 annually as executive director of the lottery. He resigned in August to take a position in the private sector. “The only people who are getting rich from the lottery are not the people who are winning, it’s the people who are running it,” Brock said. Brock said he’ll continue to fight to ensure lottery proceeds go to education, but still doesn’t agree with state-supported gambling. “I always say it’s more of a tax on people who are bad at math more than anything else,” he said. “We have people who are becoming dependent on playing the lottery thinking that will help them out of their economic situation. “These times when money is so tight, it’s not a good idea to gamble money away.” Forty-one states currently have lotteries. “We knew that the lottery, as it was in other states, was not the be-all, end-all solution,” Brock said.

N AT I O N / O B I T U A R I E S

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — President Barack Obama has asked security officials whether there’s a less intrusive way to screen U.S. airline passengers than the pat-downs and body scans causing a holiday-season uproar. For now, they’ve told him there isn’t one, the president said Saturday in response to a question at the NATO summit in Lisbon. “I understand people’s frustrations,” Obama said, while acknowledging that he’s never had to undergo the stepped-up screening methods. Passengers at some U.S. airports must pass through full-body scanners that produce a virtually naked image. If travelers refuse, they can be forced to

undergo time-consuming fingertip examinations, including of clothed genital areas and breasts, by inspectors of the same sex as the passenger. Obama said he’s told the U.S. Transportation Security Administration: “You have to constantly refine and measure whether what we’re doing is the only way to assure the American people’s safety. And you also have to think through, are there ways of doing it that are less intrusive.” At this point, that agency and counterterrorism experts have told him that the current procedures are the only ones that they think can effectively guard against threats such as last year’s attempted Christmas-day bombing.

MONEY FROM 1A better monitor the progress and behavior of all students in the class,” she said. • • • The more than $10.3 million for capital improvements the school system has received throughout the past four years has been used entirely to repay bond debt. The school system and the Rowan County Board of Commissioners made an agreement that up to $2.5 million of lottery funds can be used to offset bond debt annually. The $77 million in bonds that taxpayers approved in 2002 paid for the construction of Carson High School and Millbridge, Koontz and Shive elementary schools. The debt, which will be paid off by 2020, costs the county nearly $10 million a year. “The lottery funds go to pay a portion of that debt,” Leslie Heidrick, the county finance director, said. The county couples lottery dollars with property tax revenues to pay for the bonds. Heidrick said when residents voted for the bond, they were told taxes could increase by up to 6.7 cents per $100 assessed value over time. “In total, the tax rate has increased 4.2 cents rather than 6.7 cents because we received the lottery proceeds,” she said. Gene Miller, Rowan-Salisbury’s assistant superintendent for operations, said the school system maintains $505 million worth of buildings and property. He said using lottery dollars for bond debt means that a needs list of $22 million for additions and alterations and $124 million for board-approved capitals needs has gone unfunded. “This action may appear good to the taxpayers, but in reality (it) takes approximately $2.5 million away from the school system each year,” he said. The district receives about $3.7 million annually in county tax revenues, $2.2 million of which goes toward paying off a 1992 school bond issue. Miller said the approximately $1.5 million left for capital improvement is not enough. “If that rate of capital revenue continues, we will very quickly fall behind in our upkeep of roofs, parking lots, heating and air conditioning equipment, technology upgrades, activity buses, and the list goes on,” he said. Heidrick said without lottery proceeds to help pay bond debt, the county might be forced to hike property taxes, reduce expenditures or appropriate the money from the fund balance. “It makes a difference,” she said. “We actually received a hit this fiscal year because the state did not allocate all the money that we anticipated.” Lottery officials projected Rowan County would receive about $3 million in lottery funds this year, but the county ended up with about $2.6 million. Heidrick said that did not affect the county, which had budgeted $2.6 million as a conservative estimate. • • • Rowan County’s More at Four, a pre-kindergarten

Virginia Basinger waits to check her Cash 5 lottery tickets at Charlie’s Mart in Faith. program for at-risk 4-yearolds, has received a total of nearly $3 million. John Pruette, executive director of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction’s Office of Early Learning, said lottery money makes up about half the state’s More at Four budget. “We’ve been able to increase the capacity of the number of children served because of lottery dollars,” he said. A recent study conducted by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that More at Four substantially narrows the achievement gap between economically disadvantaged children and those from upper-middle-class backgrounds. Pruette said More at Four has expanded to serve more than 31,000 children who live at or below the state’s median income level. Rowan County currently has 334 students enrolled in 26 More at Four classrooms. “With the additional funding from the North Carolina state lottery, Rowan County is able to enroll an additional 165 students in our More At Four classrooms,” said the Rev. John D. Gerstenmier, executive director of Smart Start Rowan, the agency that runs More at Four. • • • More than 2,000 Rowan County residents have received scholarships through the lottery since its inception. “There has been no reduction of other aid since the lottery started,” said Steve Brooks, executive director of the State Education Assistance Authority. “This is new money that has stayed new money.” Brooks said the assistance authority distributes the lottery scholarships based on the federal expected family contribution measure, which combines income and assets to evaluate how much a family can afford for higher education. He said anybody that has an expected contribution of $5,000 or less is eligible for a lottery scholarship. Typically, those who receive a federal Pell grant can combine lottery money to supplement the cost of college. And the lottery portion can be substantial. For example, Brooks said, a student who needs $3,400 for college and receives a $900 Pell grant will get a $2,500 scholarship. “It basically builds a floor under students who have needs,” Brooks said. Students don’t have to apply for the scholarships separately; they are automatically considered when submitting a Free Application

for Federal Student Aid and list a participating North Carolina College. Brooks said in the past decade North Carolina has increased the percentage of low-income students who go to college out of high school by nearly 8 percent. Nationally, he said, that number has only gone up seven-tenths of 1 percent. “It’s not just the lottery scholarships,” he said. “The College Foundation of North Carolina is providing more resources to help lower-income students understand that college is affordable for them.” • • • In fiscal year 2010, 30 percent of the $1.4 billion in revenue brought in by the N.C. Education Lottery went to education. That’s $419 million divided among the state’s 100 counties. When the lottery began, 35 percent of its proceeds went to education, but that number has dwindled in order to increase prizes. This year, 58 percent of proceeds went to fund prizes. “We focus on having the greatest return for education,” said Van Denton, director of corporate communications for the lottery. “We believe that as people win and enjoy playing, that encourages more people to play and we sell more tickets. “We focus more on the amount of money that we can earn, rather than the percentage. The amount of money the lottery has generated for education has steadily increased every year. Denton said the lottery makes up about 5 percent of the state’s kindergarten through 12th-grade budget. “The lottery by itself can’t solve all the funding problems that we’ve been going through,” he said. Trexler said the State Public School Fund did not make a gain in the year the lottery funds started coming in because funds were diverted to other areas of the state budget outside of public education. “It has the appearance that other state funding was supplanted by the lottery funds, versus the lottery supplementing what had been there,” she said. A report released by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction titled “Funding Threatened for North Carolina’s Public Schools,” says that in 2009-10 “lottery funding simply replaced a portion of the funding the state previously provided ...” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

For 13 years, the United States has refused to join the rest of the industrialized world in the Kyoto Protocol, a binding pact to curb fossil-fuel emissions by modest amounts. More recently, as China, India and other emerging economies exempted from the 1997 Kyoto pact have sharply increased emissions, they have rejected calls by the U.S.

and others to commit by treaty to restraints. No one expects Cancun to resolve that standoff. Instead, delegates will focus on climate financial aid, deforestation and other secondary “building blocks” to try to revive momentum toward an umbrella deal at next year’s conference in South Africa or at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 2012. “We expect a positive attitude and a restoration of confidence in the multilateral system at Cancun,” said Grenada’s U.N. ambassador, Dessima Williams, chair of an al-

The world’s warming oceans, for example, are rising at twice the 20th century’s average rate, expanding from the heat and the runoff of melting land ice, says the Geneva-based World Climate Research Program. More ice is melting in Greenland and Antarctica than earlier thought, worried scientists report.

NEW YORK (AP) — The last time the world warmed, 120,000 years ago, the Cancun coastline was swamped by a 7-foot rise in sea level in a few decades. A week from now at that Mexican resort, frustrated negotiators will try again to head off a new global deluge. The disappointment of Copenhagen — the failure of the annual U.N. conference to produce a climate agreement last year in the Danish capital — has raised doubts about whether the long-running, 194-nation talks can ever agree on a legally binding treaty for reining in global warming. “It’s clear after Copenhagen that the U.N. process is ‘on probation,’” acknowledged Alden Meyer of the Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists, a veteran observer and supporter of the process. Even the Mexican hosts of the Nov. 29-Dec. 10 U.N. conference question whether “it is the best way to work — with 194 countries,” as Mexico’s environment secretary, Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada, put it. “We must be really open and sincere. Do we need to make an evolution to a new methodology?” Elvira asked in an Associated Press interview. The core failure has been

DENVER (AP) — One of the Australian twin sisters who shot themselves in a suicide pact at a Colorado shooting range wrote several letters to a survivor of the Columbine school shooting in the months after the tragedy, a Denver television station reported Saturday. Kristin Hermeler, who died in the Monday shooting, wrote two letters to Brooks Brown, according to KCNC-TV. Brown was a student at Columbine High School who was once targeted by Eric Harris, one of the gunmen in the April 20, 1999, shootings. Brown and Harris became friends before the Columbine shooting. “As someone who has been rejected, victimized and ostracized in their life, I would like to thank you for giving him (Eric) that chance,” Hermeler wrote in a June 1999 letter to Brown. She also thanked Brown for not judging Harris and second gunman Dylan Klebold, who Hermeler said were “rejected and victimized by so many others.” The letters further suggest the sisters had a fascination with the Columbine massacre, in which Harris and Klebold killed 13 people and themselves.

Crunch time arrives for title contenders

Catawba lands Carson’s Hogan

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

BY MIKE LONDON HOMESTEAD, Fla. — After all the talk, tweeting and obvious attempts at mind games, it’s time for NASCAR’s three title contenders to get serious about the tightest championship race in seven years. In other words, they need to shut up and drive. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship will be settled this afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where points leader Denny Hamlin has weathered a steady wave of needling from Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick. HAMLIN Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, poked Hamlin several times in an effort to rattle his nerves as Hamlin tries to protect a 15-point lead — the smallest in the seven-year history of the Chase.

CHINA GROVE — Carson baseball coach Chris Cauble had a tough time deciding what shortstop Gunnar Hogan does best. “With most guys, you’ll talk about their bat or their glove or their arm or their speed,” he said. “But Gunnar possesses all those qualities. He’s got a little bit of everything. That was kind of my selling point to colleges all along.” Cauble had hoped Hogan would become Carson baseball’s first Division I signee. That didn’t happen, but no one’s disappointed CAUBLE Hogan inked with Catawba. “The advice I got from everyone was sign early if you can,” Hogan said. “It kind of happened quick with Catawba, but I’m very happy with how things worked out.” JON C. LAKEY/saLisBUrY post

Carolina takes on Baltimore

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — For 10 days the Baltimore Ravens have had nothing to do but agonize over their last-minute loss to Atlanta. Thanks to playing on a Thursday night, the Ravens have had three extra days to hear criticism about their slow starts, their struggles on the road, the inconsistent play of their oncefeared defense and mounting questions a b o u t whether they are indeed Super Bowl contenders. HARBAUGH “Sometimes that can be a positive,” coach John Harbaugh said, “to let it simmer a little bit.” Today is the perfect chance for the Ravens (6-3) to get well again and keep pace with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North. The Carolina Panthers have become the NFL version of a homecoming opponent. The potential matchups at Bank of America Stadium are comically one-sided. The Panthers (1-8) will start Brian St. Pierre at quarterback, who last week was a stay-athome dad and ST. PIERRE has thrown five passes in eight years in the NFL. Their top three running backs, two starting offensive linemen and No. 3 receiver aren’t expected to play, either. The Panthers managed to be the NFL’s worst offensive team before the barrage of injuries hit in the past few weeks. Imagine the prospect of St. Pierre, who wasn’t even in a training camp this summer, trying to move the ball against Ray Lewis and company, who have 10 days worth of pent up frustration? “You hear of stories, a guy like Kurt Warner who was stocking shelves,” said St. Pierre, who was signed late last week. “I don’t know what my story is going to be. Right now it is what it is. I’m happy for the opportunity.” The Panthers got to this point after Matt Moore was lost to a season-ending shoulder injury earlier this month, and Jimmy Clausen sustained a concussion on the final offensive player in last week’s 31-16 loss to Tampa Bay. Fox, in the last year of contract, decided St. Pierre was a better option than Tony Pike, a sixth-round pick who played in the spread at Cincinnati.

Four straight for State BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — An improbable touchdown. A long N.C. State 29 punt return for a UNC 25 score. And a key stop on a two-point conversion. Yes, Russell Wilson and N.C. State did it to North Carolina again.

Owen Spencer caught a tipped ball in the end zone for a touchdown and T.J. Graham returned a punt 87 yards for another score to help the Wolfpack rally past the Tar Heels 29-25 on Saturday. Wilson threw two touchdown passes for the Wolfpack (8-3, 5-2 ACC), including a 2-yard score on the tipped ball to Spencer late in the third quarter. With the win, N.C. State put itself

in position to claim the league’s Atlantic Division title and reach the ACC championship game by winning next weekend at Maryland. The win also improved Tom O’Brien’s Wolfpack to 4-0 against Butch Davis’ Tar Heels (6-5, 3-4) since the coaches took over their programs before the 2007 season. “It’s great, especially for this football team,” O’Brien said. “To start the

year, we were dead and gone. Nobody expected us to be anywhere. We’ve misstepped a couple of times, but it wasn’t because of a lack of effort. “They understand that if they keep putting the effort forth, we — collective we, coaches and players — will find a way to get this thing done.”

appalachian state quarterback deandre presley throws while being pressured by Florida’s William Green.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida’s home finale against Appalachian State turned out to be a Florida 48 much-needed feel-good story. There was an emotional senior App. State 10 day ceremony. There was an offensive outburst. There was quarterback John Brantley’s touchdown reception. There was walk-on Gary Beemer’s unlikely score. Maybe more importantly, there was an easy victory. Jordan Reed accounted for four touchdowns, including an unexpected pass to Brantley, and Florida beat the Mountaineers 48-10 on Saturday.

McKie making strides for Wake Forest Associated Press

GREENSBORO — Through his three first W. Forest 89 games as a Elon 70 starter, Wake Forest freshman Travis McKie has shown that he can score. Against Elon, McKie showed he can be an inside force as well. McKie had career highs of 22 points and 15 rebounds as the Demon Deacons fought back from a slow start to beat the Phoenix 89-70 on Saturday night. Gary Clark (17 points), Ari Stewart (16), Ty Walker (12) and C.J. Harris (11 points, eight assists) also reached double figures for Wake Forest (2-2). It overcame 22 turnovers by shooting 54.8 percent from the field and outrebounding Elon 48-26. “We’ve had a rocky start,” Wake coach Jeff Bzdelik said. “But we rebounded the ball bet-

ter and shared the ball better ... and we defended screens better and various situations better. “We have so many young players ... I don’t think they understand how important every possession is or how tough this game is at the collegiate level. The only way to gain wisdom and experience is to go through it. They’re learning every game.” MCKIE A big key to that was McKie, who was averaging 13.7 points entering Saturday’s game. The 6-foot-7 forward shot 9 of 13 from the field and added a pair of blocks for the Demon Deacons. “Travis has been very consistent in terms of rebounding and scoring,” Bzdelik said. “He’s a blue-collar guy who seems to have

a nose for the ball.” “I can shoot the ball a little, too,” McKie said of his first career double-double. “It’s attention to detail that Coach wants. He wants us to do every little thing right. If we do that, we can get turnovers and get fastbreak points.” Chris Long scored 17 points, Roger Dugas added 14 and Drew Spradlin had 11 for Elon (1-2). It blew a 12-point lead early in the first half to trail 37-28 at the break. With Elon not recording a field goal for more than 11 minutes, the Deacons extended their lead into double digits with a 13-1 run. Harris’ three-point play with 2:15 remaining gave Wake a 37-23 margin, its biggest of the half. “They got in the first punch,” Harris said. “But the outcome of the game came from how we reacted to it. We stayed locked down on defense, made shots and started playing better.”

Fourth-ranked Ohio State routs Seahawks Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Deshaun Thomas scored 15 points and No. 4 Ohio State’s talented freshmen stole the show in an 81-41 victory over UNC-Wilmington in the Global Sports Invitational. In addition to Thomas, firstyear players Jordan Sibert and Jared Sullinger each had 11 points for the Buckeyes (3-0). Matthew Wallace had 14 points and Chad Tomko added 13 for UNCW (2-2). No. 6 Villanova 86, Lafayette 41 VILLANOVA, Pa. — Corey Stokes scored 19 points, and Corey Fisher had 16 for Villanova.

lestin came off the bench to score 13 points, including nine in the second half, as Campbell won in the Global Sports Hoops Showcase. It was the first victory for the Camels (2-2) over a SEC team since they beat South Carolina 73-72 in overtime on Jan. 12, 1994. After Andrew Malone’s 3 - pointer gave the Tigers (0-3) their final lead, 49-47, with 6:28 remaining, they didn’t score again until the final nine seconds. UNCA 116, Va. Intermont 58 ASHEVILLE — Matt Dickey had 16 points and six steals for North Carolina-Asheville against Virginia Intermont.

Jackson’s triple-double carries Charlotte Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Before the Charlotte Bobcats scattered for the offseason last spring, Stephen Jackson walked into his exit interview and heard coach Larry Brown issue a challenge. “He told me I was one of the guys in the league that could either come close or flirt with a tripledouble every night,” Jackson said. “That says a lot from a Hall of Fame coach like Larry Brown to believe that you can do that.” Jackson did his coach proud on Saturday night with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the first triple-double in franchise history in the Bobcats’ 123-105 victory over a listless Phoenix team playing without Steve Nash. “It feels good to do what he asked,” Jackson said of Brown. It was the second career tripledouble for the sometimes volatile Jackson, whose first also came

against the Suns when he was with Golden State in the 2008-09 season. He hit 10-of-13 shots and spearheaded an ultra-efficient night for the Bobcats, who also got 26 points from Boris Diaw and shot 58 percent from the field. Tyrus Thomas added 22 points for Charlotte. Grizzlies 97, Heat 95 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rudy Gay hit a fadeaway jumper over LeBron James at the buzzer, and the Grizzlies took advantage of Dwyane Wade’s absence. James tied it for the 12th time, dunking off Eddie House’s steal of Gay with 5.5 seconds left. James finished with 29 points, and House had a season-high 20. Mavericks 98, Hawks 93 ATLANTA — Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points, Jason Terry added 15 and the Dallas Mavericks snapped a two-game skid. Thunder 82, Bucks 81 MILWAUKEE — Russell West-

brook sank two free throws with 7.3 seconds left. Kevin Durant missed his second consecutive game with a sprained left ankle. Spurs 116, Cavaliers 92 SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker scored 19 points, and the Spurs (11-1) are off to their best start in franchise history. Magic 90, Pacers 86 INDIANAPOLIS — Jameer Nelson converted a go-ahead three-point play with 33 seconds left. Dwight Howard scored 19 of his 25 points in the second half. TRADE The New Orleans Hornets sent Peja Stojakovic to Toronto in exchange for guard Jarrett Jack as part of a five-player trade. New Orleans also received center David Andersen and guard Marcus Banks, while guard Jerryd Bayless, acquired by New Orleans from Portland less than a month ago, will go to Toronto.

Busch gets second win Associated Press

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Kyle Busch has kept his perfect weekend alive by winning the final Nationwide Series race of the season. The victory gives Joe Gibbs Racing the owner’s championship. Brad Keselowski had already wrapped up the driver title. Busch also won the Trucks Series race on Friday, and that win gave him the owner’s championship in that series. JGR teammate Denny Hamlin can win his first Sprint Cup title in today’s season finale. “Wish I had something for tomorrow,” Busch told his team as he crossed the finish line, “but we’ll play the teammate and get them one.” Kevin Harvick finished second Saturday and was followed by Keselowski, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne. Danica Patrick finished her final NASCAR race of the season with a career-best finish of 19th but was extremely frustrated because she’d struggled to get around Brian Scott in the closing laps. “Why am I so upset? I don’t know. Because I was working my (butt) off to get by the 09 car, and I couldn’t get by him,” she said. “And so I’m mad. Because when you’re running where I’m running, it’s not like I’m running for a win and I was mad. “I have to find like little victories in everything. So I was faster than him and I just couldn’t get by him. It’s not like it’s that big a deal.

It’s not like finishing 18th versus 19th is going to change the world.”

NHL RALEIGH — Martin Erat and Cal O’Reilly scored in the shootout to push Nashville to a 2-1 win over Carolina. After O’Reilly matched Carolina’s Jeff Skinner, each team failed on its second opportunity. Patrick O’Sullivan then missed for Carolina, setting up Erat’s winner.  ST. LOUIS — Brad Winchester scored 5:15 into the third period to lift St. Louis to a 3-2 win over New Jersey.  BUFFALO, N.Y. — Mike Smith made 29 saves in Tampa’s 2-1 win over Buffalo.  MONTREAL — Carey Price made 30 saves, leading Montreal past Toronto 2-0.  BOSTON — Michal Handzus scored in the sixth round of the shootout to lift the Los Angeles Kings to a 4-3 victory over Boston.  WASHINGTON — Danny Briere scored the only goal in the shootout, and Philadelphia won 5-4 over Washington.  ST. PAUL, Minn. — Marian Gaborik had an assist during a three-goal second period for the Rangers in a 5-2 win over Minnesota.  UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Mike Santorelli scored twice as Florida won 4-1 and sent the Islanders to their 12th straight loss.

BASEBALL NEW YORK — The New York Mets have dropped Rudy Terrasas, their head of amateur scouting.

Praise is flying toward the Falcons and Eagles. AFC East powers in New York and New England are drawing headlines. Does anyone remember New Orleans? All the Saints are is 6-3, in the mix for the NFC South championship or a wild-card playoff berth. Their defense is improved and they’re beginning to get healthy coming off a bye and heading into today’s home game against Seattle. “We’ll just keep flying under the radar, keep just winning games however we can and let the chips fall where they may at the end,” QB Drew Brees said. “Everybody can talk about whoever they want as being maybe the favorite. There’s going to be plenty of speculation, but we plan on being there.” Indianapolis at New England In the last decade, Indy has the most regular-season wins, 115. New England has the most overall, 133, counting playoffs and Super Bowls. Brady has won 25 consecutive home games as a starter, tying him with Brett Favre for the league record. Green Bay at Minnesota It’s the fourth matchup for Brett Favre against the Pack.

Jets The Jets have won all four meetings with the Texans, who have lost their last three overall and four of five. Best matchup of the weekend might be Andre Johnson against CBs Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia Control of the NFC East and potentially the entire conference is at stake. New York is weakened at receiver and wants no part of a shootout with Philly.

CAROLINA FroM 1B “Times are hard,” Panthers receiver Steve Smith said. “As they say, when it rains, it pours, so you just break out your umbrella.” The Ravens have never beaten the Panthers, losing the three previous meetings, but they are determined to get back on track after allowing Matt Ryan and the Falcons to drive 80 yards for the winning touchdown in the final minute Nov. 11. The Ravens claimed Roddy White pushed cornerback Josh Wilson to the turf before the winning catch. “I would have rather played a game right after that Thursday, personally,” Wilson said. “But we had some time to look over it and learn ourselves. That’s

the most important thing with all this stuff in all these games, is learning yourself and learning how the Ravens’ defense needs to play.” The Ravens have allowed 66 points in the fourth quarter this season, four more than they allowed all last season. They’ve dropped to 10th in the league in total defense, putting in jeopardy a streak of seven straight years in the top six. “I think this defense has the ability to go on and do whatever we want to do once we finally start solidifying those pieces on who’s going to be our starters,” Lewis said. The struggling secondary has a chance to gain confidence against Carolina, whose top two remaining quarterbacks have thrown 17 passes in their NFL careers. Carolina, which has scored nine touchdowns this season, could again start fourth-string running back

TITLE FroM 1B Harvick, sitting in third and 46 points behind Hamlin, has openly played the aggressor and talked of how he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The trash-talk and mind games have gone on all week, adding an extra element of drama to what’s already been a terrific title race. “I never remember a time in our sport where there’s been this much talking,” Jeff Burton said. “I almost feel like we’re going to a boxing match.” By the checkered flag today, it may very well feel like the contenders went 12 tough rounds in this spirited title race. Johnson, the most dominant driver of the decade, is seeking a historic fifth consecutive title. Despite six wins this season, his Hendrick Motorsports team hasn’t dominated the way people have come to expect. Instead, it’s been Hamlin who has led the charge. The popular preseason pick to dethrone Johnson, Ham-

HOGAN FroM 1B College coaches are identifying scholarship players earlier every year. When school started, Cauble e-mailed coaches with Hogan’s stats, and the responses that came back were all the same. “We’d love to see him, but we don’t have any more scholarship money.” Division II schools such as Catawba will continue to add players — it was fortunate to land Carson’s Julio Zubillaga and South Rowan’s Blake Houston in May — but even D-IIs exhaust their scholarships early. Catawba put a substantial early offer on the table for Hogan. He’s a 4.0 student, and that meant the Indians could find academic money to add to the baseball dollars. “It means a lot when people show they want you, and Catawba went out of their way to let Gunnar know he was important,” Cauble said. Tusculum also recruited Hogan, but if he was going

to play in D-II, Catawba made the most sense. He’ll be reunited with Zubillaga, his Carson and South Rowan American Legion doubleplay partner and one of his best friends. Catawba has won SAC titles and competed for regional championships with a stream of guys who could’ve played Division I but slipped through the cracks. Many are now in pro ball, including Jerry Sands, the Dodgers’ Minor League Player of the Year. “If you want to keep going on in baseball, Catawba turns out as many draft picks as anyone,” Cauble said. “I think in the back of our minds, we’d all hoped Gunnar would be our first big-time guy, but Catawba can be the right fit for everybody.” Catawba’s latest recruit got started early. There are local athletic legends in his family tree, including Denny and Pinky Hogan. Cauble says his shortstop was “bred to play baseball.” “First time I played baseball?” Hogan said with a

dress Racing. With three wins and 25 top-10 finishes, Harvick took easy control of the “regular season” points lead and put himself in position to win RCR’s first Cup championship since the late Dale Earnhardt’s seventh and final title in 1994. Johnson has lived through six pre-

laugh. “Probably the same day I started walking.” He played catcher in middle school but eventually found his way out to the middle of the diamond. He made the varsity as a Carson freshman and started opening day at second base with Zubillaga injured. Errors piled up for the Cougars, and by the fifth game Cauble had pulled Zack Grkman in from the outfield to play second and had installed Hogan at shortstop. He’s stayed there. Hogan batted .375 as a freshman. His doubles and triples rose the next two seasons, but his batting average has stayed level — .372 as a sophomore and .374 as a junior. “The big improvement has been fielding,” Hogan said. “I was a pretty terrible shortstop my freshman year.” Maturity has let him put a strikeout behind him when he takes the field and push an error out of his head when it’s time to swing a bat. Hogan will enter his sen-

“Growing up, we were always the ones who were taught we have to bring the intimidation,” Giants safety Deon Grant said of defensive players. “So when the offense intimidates a defense, you have problems.” Detroit at Dallas Detroit’s road slide is a record 25 straight games, and it’s still is missing QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder). Dez Bryant, Felix Jones and rookie cornerback Bryan McCann are emerging for Dallas. Tampa Bay at San Francisco The Niners are 11-1 at home against Tampa Bay. QB Troy Smith, making his third

Mike Goodson, too. Harbaugh wasn’t hiding their defensive plan: blitz early and often. “If you can really rattle them early, then you can really get them off their spot and really start making them do things that they really don’t want to do,” Lewis said. Perhaps weighed down by being on the field so much, Carolina’s defense has slipped from fourth to 14th in the league after allowing 65 points and 829 yards to New Orleans and Tampa Bay the past two weeks. The Panthers recently lost middle linebacker Dan Connor for the season and two-time Pro Bowl pick Jon Beason is hobbled by a sore knee. “We’re just trying to stay positive,” Beason said. “We realize that we’re young, and we realize that we really got hit hard with the injury bug this year. A lot of things are stacked up against us.”

vious title races and has been loose and fun this week, enjoying his down time in South Beach with his wife and new daughter. Harvick, never known to get rattled, has spent much of his time at the track overseeing the Kevin Harvick Inc. efforts in the Nationwide and Trucks Series. And how has Hamlin handed the pressure? Just fine, thank you. Surrounded by a large group of friends at the famed Fontainebleau hotel, Hamlin has had an enjoyable week celebrating his 30th birthday, which was Thursday. There was a boat trip around Miami, a meeting with LeBron James at the hotel and great seats at Friday night’s BobcatsHeat game. Bothered by the enormous task at hand today? Doesn’t seem like the pressure, or the competition, is getting to Hamlin. “I feel the same as I do every week. I’m never uptight. I do me. I don’t know what else to tell you,” he said. Then, showing a bit of fire for the first time all week, he finally addressed the persistent needling from Johnson and Harvick. “If he (Johnson) keeps bringing up my name, he’s pretty much wor-

ior season with numerous Carson career marks. His 90 hits, 20 doubles and 58 RBIs are already records, and he could set new standards in every offensive category. He also owns the season records for hits (34) and RBIs (35). He set those records in 2009, when Carson went 20-8. Catawba’s interest began over the summer. Hogan’s always played showcase ball in the past, but he signed up for the South Legion team. Catawba assistant Michael Lowman is South’s coach and got to see Hogan play daily. Hogan is an humble guy, quiet for a shortstop, but Lowman got to know him. “Lowman saw Hogan good and bad,” Catawba head coach Jim Gantt said. “Not that there was much bad, but it was important to see how he came back from a bad at-bat or a bad game.” After a slow start, Hogan had a fine Legion season. He came through often as the cleanup hitter behind superstar Maverick Miles, finishing with six homers, 35

straight start even though incumbent Alex Smith now is healthy, is 2-0 so far with no interceptions. But he’ll operate without left tackle Joe Staley, out for a month or more with a broken left leg. Only Philadelphia in the NFC has thrown fewer interceptions than Tampa Bay’s five, and the Bucs are a plus-five in turnover margin. Washington at Tennessee It’s Albert Haynesworth’s return to Nashville. The Titans have won 12 straight against the NFC, and Vince Young is 12-2 as a starter against the conference. He got his first career win against Washington in 2006. Oakland at Pittsburgh Pittsburgh should have Hines Ward back after passing his post-concussion tests. Arizona at Kansas City The Chiefs have losses in four of their last six games. Cleveland at Jacksonville The Browns play four of five on the road now, and Joshua Cribbs (dislocated toes) is out today. Atlanta at St. Louis St. Louis is in contention in the NFC West but needs victories at home to stay there. Buffalo at Cincinnati Terrell Owens gets to face one of his former teams. The Bills have taken nine straight from the Bengals.

ried about me,” Hamlin said. “You’re not gonna say you’re not worried and you’re relaxed and everything, but keep bringing up my name.” Harvick remained at ease through two final practice sessions Saturday, pulling his Chevrolet off the track early because he liked it just fine. “We’re really happy with our car,” Harvick said. “It should be a fun day. I’m excited. We’re going to race hard.” Finishing up early could be viewed as another mind game, but nobody seemed to notice as the final preparations came to an end on the biggest race of the season. Johnson spent a good deal of track time racing Hamlin, as the two got a chance to measure their performance before the big event. When the practice was over, Hamlin got one final chance to talk a little trash himself. “I feel like we have a better car than (Johnson), I feel like (Harvick) is maybe a hair better than us,” Hamlin said. “But we are always a little bit slower in practice than what we are in the race. I’m confident that we’re going to have a good day.”

RBIs and a .336 batting average. He was outstanding defensively, making one error in South’s last 14 games. “The best thing about showcase was getting to play in big-time stadiums, but Legion was better for me,” Hogan said. “Showcase isn’t really a team game, and I’ve always played my best when I’m trying to win.” Hogan’s best swing of the summer was a tape-measure, game-tying, three-run homer at Mooresville against fireballer Chris Dula, now a freshman at Catawba. Dula came back to throw a heater past Hogan to end the game, but Hogan’s demeanor didn’t change. He handled exhilaration and despair with equal calm. Everybody talks about that June 21 homer at Mooresville when Hogan’s name comes up. Even Gantt. “Power like that can’t come from a weight room,” he said. “Power like that is genetics. Hogan will miss balls and still hit them out of Newman Park. He’s a good player now, and he’ll get better. He could be an offensive

weapon.” Gantt was sold on Hogan’s glove after seeing him play this fall. “He’s a shortstop, but we also saw him at first base and center field,” Gantt said. “Versatility is never a bad thing, and he has the arm strength to play anywhere on the field. That extra arm strength lets him make plays in the hole and up the middle most guys can’t make.” Cauble said the ball was screaming off Hogan’s bat like he’s never seen it this fall, and his shortstop should have a great senior year. And now he doesn’t have to worry about his future. “Baseball has been Gunnar’s life, and now it’s taken him to a college education,” Cauble said. “I believe it’s a sigh of relief for him that he signed early.” Hogan will be staying closer to home than he expected, but that’s OK. “I hope my family’s not knocking on my door every 10 minutes,” he joked. “But it’s great knowing they’ll be close by.”

Irish beat Army in the Bronx BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

NEW YORK — Notre Dame returned to the Bronx for the first time N. Dame 27 in 41 years and gave the Army 3 subway alumni a happy train ride home. Tyler Eifert caught a touchdown pass a few steps away from the home dugout, Darrin Walls returned an interception 42 yards for a score and Notre Dame beat Army 27-3 on Saturday night in the first football game at the new Yankee Stadium. “Well, New York is a lot of things,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “And what it was tonight was a college football town. “Our kids fed off the energy.” Freshman Tommy Rees, who tweeted on Friday he got to use Derek Jeter’s locker, threw for 214 yards in his second career start and the Fighting Irish (6-5), dressed in kelly green jerseys, became bowl eligible with a second straight strong defensive performance. Combined with last week’s 28-3 victory against Utah, it’s the first time the Irish have held two straight opponents without a touch-

down since their 1988 national title season. The triple-option befuddled the Irish when they lost to Navy last month, but Army’s version managed one long drive that produced a field goal on its opening possession. The Black Knights CRUCITTI (6-5) ran for 135 yards. West Rowan graduate Jon Crucitti totaled 4 yards on his two carries and fell on an errant pitch in his direction. Second-year coach Rich Ellerson, who has the Black Knights bowl eligible for the first time since 1996, called the atmosphere “electric.” “It just makes it that much more painful to have not put your best foot forward,” he said. The 50th meeting between Army and Notre Dame dripped with nostalgia. The Irish and Black Knights played 22 games in the original Yankee Stadium, the last in 1969, and Notre Dame built up a huge following in the Big Apple. Knute Rockne’s “Win One for the Gipper” speech was delivered at halftime of the 1928 game in the Bronx.

Tight space makes for odd game BY NANCY ARMOUR Associated Press

CHICAGO — Illinois fan Brian Lee bought Northwestern season tickets this year just so he’d have access to the historic game at Wrigley Field, then shelled out $150 a piece for two seats in the east end zone. Oops. “It’s a great venue,” Lee said as he watched Illinois players warm up in the end zone before the game Saturday, the best look he got at the Illini offense in its 48-27 victory over Northwestern. “It just would be nice to see some action coming in this direction.” Billy goats, black cats, associated press Bartman and now the forbidden end zone.

Despite months and months of planning for the Wrigleyville Classic, Big Ten officials announced Friday — less than 36 hours before kickoff — that the schools had agreed to run all offensive plays toward the west end zone because of safety concerns. Turns out, the Friendly Confines were a little too cozy, with the east end zone hugging the brick wall in right field so tightly there wasn’t even room for a standard goal post. No matter if Illinois or Northwestern had the ball, all offensive plays headed toward the third-base dugout Saturday. Kickoffs went the other way and, after the change in possession, referees repositioned the ball so it was pointing west. It was like the pigskin version of “Groundhog Day.” “Yeah, ‘losers walk,’ ” Patrick McDermott said. “It’s classic old-school, when-we-were-kids football.” The only quality time anyone spent at the east end of the field was when Northwestern safety Brian Peters returned an interception 59 yards for a score midway through the first quarter. Linebacker Nate Williams, who had raced alongside Peters keeping the Illini at bay, continued his bodyguard duties in the end zone, hauling down PeP O S T P U B L I S H I N G C O M P A N Y ters a foot or two short of the brick wall.

No. 6 Wisconsin routed Michigan 48-28, leaving the Badgers, Buckeyes and Spartans tied atop the Big Ten with one loss heading into the final weekend of the conference season. Wisconsin is home for Northwestern, Michigan State is at Penn State and Ohio State finishes with Michigan at home. If there is a three-way tie, the team with the best BCS ranking earns a Rose Bowl bid. The Badgers have the upper-hand.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The heck with tiebreakers. As far as Jimbo Fisher is concerned, his initial season at Florida State will include at least a share of an ACC division title. Christian Ponder threw for 170 yards and a touchdown as Florida State beat Maryland 30-16 on Saturday night to remain in the hunt to play in the ACC title game. Florida State (8-3, 6-2) has completed the league portion of its schedule and can finish no worse than tied atop the Atlantic Division. But if N.C. State (8-3, 5-2) defeats Maryland next Saturday, the Wolfpack would gain a share of first place and win the tiebreaker because of a 28-24 victory over FSU last month. “No matter what, you’re at least a co-champion of this league. That was one of our goals, to be the champion of this league,” said Fisher, who took over for Bobby Bowden. The Terrapins (7-4, 4-3) were eliminated from contention. Maryland, which became the last ACC team to lose at home this season, needed to beat the Seminoles and Wolfpack to win the division crown for the first time. Down 23-16, Maryland drove to the Florida State 19 in the final minute before Nick Moody intercepted a fourth-down pass by redshirt freshman Danny O’Brien and took it 90 yards for the clinching score with 36 seconds left. Virginia Tech 31, Miami 17 MIAMI — Virginia Tech had one bad week. It’s been perfect in all others. The reward is another shot at an ACC championship. Ryan Williams ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-long 84yarder with 13:24 remaining, as No. 14 Virginia Tech beat No. 24 Miami to clinch the ACC’s Coastal Division title. The Hokies (9-2, 7-0) won their ninth straight, the program’s longest streak since 1999, and will get an opportu-

football team,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. Georgia Tech 30, Duke 20 ATLANTA — Mario Butler returned an interception 85 yards for a touchdown, Tevin Washington threw a 79-yard TD pass to Stephen Hill and Tech clinched eligibility for its 14th straight bowl appearance. After the Blue Devils cut their deficit to 23-20, Washington heaved up a pass on third-and-9 from his own 21. The 6-foot-5 Hill reached over cornerback Ross Cockrell to snatch away the ball, then sprinted down the sideline. Duke’s Sean Renfree went 30-of-41 passing for 334 yards, his fifth game 300-yard game of the year and fourth straight game without an interception. Brandon Connette, in the game for his running skills, threw the pick to Butler. The Blue Devils (3-8, 1-6) will take a two-game skid and another losing season into their finale against UNC. “It’s a pretty tough pill to swallow,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “But I’m really proud of our team for where we’ve come to at this point from where we were in the early part of this season. There is no comparison in the two.” BC 17, Virginia 13 BOSTON — Montel Harris carried 24 times for 114 yards, including a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, to lift Boston College. Virginia (4-7, 1-6) has lost six of eight and dropped 12 consecutive games after November 1, dating to its last win — a 48-0 victory over Miami on Nov. 10, 2007.

WINSTON-SALEM — Kyle Parker was nearly perfect. Once again, Wake Forest was far from it. Parker had two touchdown passes and completed all but two of his throws as Clemson sent the Demon Deacons to their ninth straight loss by beating them 30-10 on Saturday. Jamie Harper rushed for 142 yards — one shy of his week-old career high — and had 63 yards on a late score. Chandler Cantazaro kicked three field goals. And Parker finished 15 of 17 for 194 yards in just over 21⁄2 quarters with TDs covering 40 yards to Jaron Brown and 2 yards to DeAndre Hopkins. His passer rating of 222.9 was the best by a Clemson quarterback in an ACC game since 2002. “I made the plays that were there, and didn’t make many bad decisions,” Parker said. “Any time you can walk away from a game like that, you’re doing pretty good.” That helped the Tigers (6-5, 4-4 ACC) win their first road game of the season and reach the 6-win mark for the 12th straight year. “One of our goals every year is to win the bowl game,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who celebrated his 41st birthday with the win. “It’s hard to win

bit of success, and at times, we didn’t execute very well. Overall, certainly we didn’t play well enough on the offensive side to win today.” Da’Quan Bowers certainly had something to do with that. The nation’s leader in sacks set one school record by bringing down freshman quarterback Tanner Price late in the first quarter. That gave him a sack in a Clemson-record ninth straight game. His two sacks gave him 151⁄2, and he enters the regular-season finale against rival South Carolina half a sack shy of the school’s single-season record set in 1999 by Keith Adams. “Better get going then,” defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said with a smile. “Time’s running out.” Bowers led a defense that didn’t allow Wake Forest to cross the Clemson 35 until there were 10 minutes left to play and the Tigers were up 23-0. Wake had just 49 total yards in the first half and ran only two offensive plays in Clemson territory before the break. Price finished 17 of 30 for 151 yards and Newman converted his 10th straight field goal, one shy of Sam Swank’s 2-year-old school record. “It’s disappointing to lose, but we’ve got one more game,” Price said. “And, hopefully, we can finish strong.”

STATE FroM 1B That was especially true Saturday, when the Tar Heels had a 19-10 lead before Spencer and Graham scored touchdowns in a shocking reversal of momentum. First, with his team facing a fourth-and-goal, O’Brien passed on a short field goal to make it a one-possession game and went for the touchdown. It appeared to be a mistake when Wilson found himself scrambling under pressure and lofting a desperate pass into a crowd in the back right corner of the end zone. Safety Da’Norris Searcy and receiver Darrell Davis appeared to tip the ball, which landed in Spencer’s arms as he fell to the turf. “It was a prayer,” O’Brien said, “and it was answered.” Searcy said he was just trying to knock the ball down. “When I reached up, I saw (Davis’) hands closing and I just knocked it away from him,” he said. Officials signaled for a touchdown, a call which stood after a replay review.

UNc punter c.J. Feagles (30) makes a last-ditch effort to stop t.J. Graham from scoring. “It was kind of like slow motion a little bit,” Spencer said. “But I wound up getting my hands underneath it and grabbing it. Nobody could tell me different. That was a touchdown.”

North Carolina linebacker Kevin Reddick and N.C. State receiver Jarvis Williams were ejected after they were in a scuffle in the confusion following Spencer’s score, and the Tar Heels were left to

shake off the shock of the touchdown. “I really felt if that got overturned, it was our ball and they would’ve packed it in,” UNC safety Deunta Williams said.

Backup quarterback Trey Burton’s 3-yard run made it 14-0 on Florida’s next drive, then it became the Jordan Reed Show. Reed had three short scoring runs to go along with a 5-yard TD pass to Brantley. It was Brantley’s first career touchdown. “That’ll be his last one,” Meyer said. Brantley lined up at receiver, then slipped uncovered into the end zone. Reed rolled right, then tossed the ball to the corner of the end zone. Brantley caught it and kept both feet in play. “I knew it was coming to me, so I was like, ‘Don’t drop it,’” said Brantley, who completed 16 of 22 passes for 222 yards, with an interception. “Coach Meyer came to me after the play and goes, ‘If you would have dropped it, I would have pointed to the locker room. I would have sent you to the dugout.’” Reed got an even bigger assist in the fourth. He handed off to walk-on senior Gary Beemer on third-andgoal, then shoved the defensive tackle across the goal line for a 1-yard score with 3:18 to play. “I grabbed the ball, lowered my

ASU FroM 1B The Gators turned in their best offensive performance (547 yards) of the season, snapped a three-game home losing streak and gave 23 seniors a positive finale in the Swamp. “I think everybody associated with our program needed that one,” coach Urban Meyer said. In a season with nearly as many ups as downs, it didn’t matter that it came against a team from the Football Championship Subdivision. The Gators (7-4) scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions, led 35-0 early in the third quarter and enjoyed their third lopsided victory of the season. It was the team’s first win at home since Sept. 25 against Kentucky. “We needed it a lot and we need it to roll into next week,” said center Mike Pouncey, referring to Florida’s game at rival Florida State.

after pushing to the N.C. State 2- and 4-yard lines, missed opportunities that came back to haunt them after Graham’s go-ahead score. “That’s what hurts the worst — I never got the better of them,” said Yates, a senior. “They are a good football team. You have to give them credit. They have done a good job the last couple of years doing what they need to do to beat us. We definitely left some things out there on the field today, and that’s the most disappointing.” Yates finished 33-of-44 passing for 411 yards and two touchdowns in his final home game despite being sacked seven times. He also set school single-season and career passing yardage records. Running back Anthony Elzy added nine catches for 178 yards and a touchdown. As for Wilson, he threw an interception and was sacked four times but still came up with the big play. “It’s everything we’ve worked for,” Wilson said of the division title chase. “It’s a big win for us. We have an opportunity and now we have to get ready for this week and seize the moment.”

His helmet came off at the bottom of the pile and he emerged with his long hair flying in the breeze and the ball clutched in his arms. He hustled back to the sideline, where coaches and teammates enthusiastically awaited. “My last touchdown was never ago,” Beemer said. “I’m still trying to process it and make it a reality right now.” Jason Vitaris made a 33-yard field goal for Appalachian, and a 9-yard touchdown pass from DeAndre Presley to Matt Cline capped a 64-yard drive that closed out the ASU scoring. Presley completed 19 of 28 passes for 157 yards and ran eight times for 26 yards. Brian Quick had six receptions for 56 yards. Defensively, linebacker D.J. Smith had a game-high 14 tackles, becoming only the second player in ASU history with 500 career stops. Dexter Coakley (616 tackles from 1993-96) ranks first in school history.

Instead, things got worse. A few plays later, Graham sprinted down the sideline for the 87-yard punt return and a 24-19 lead with 14:07 left. N.C. State added a short field goal from Josh Czajkowski — who returned after he was originally thought to be out for the year with a hamstring injury — to push that margin to eight points with about six minutes left. “A punt return for a touchdown is almost always a backbreaker and something that is extraordinarily difficult to overcome,” Butch Davis said. T.J. Yates did everything he could to keep the Tar Heels in it. He directed a touchdown drive with about a minute left, connecting with Christian Wilson on a fourth-down pass from the 1, but his desperate heave into traffic for the tying two-point conversion fell incomplete. North Carolina got the ball back for one more drive at its own 5 with 36 seconds left and no timeouts remaining, but Terrell Manning sacked Yates in the end zone for a safety. The Tar Heels certainly didn’t capitalize on their scoring chances. They settled for field goals from Casey Barth

FINE WINE’S

ike fine wine, it takes time to build a vineyard and winery. For Tommy and Amie Baudoin it took 10 years of planning, planting, digging, spraying, harvesting, crushing, fermenting and finally, tasting, to open their Morgan Ridge Vineyards on John Morgan Road. A ribbon-cutting today starts a new set of plans and goals. Amie, standing in their barrel room, looks at Tommy and explains, “That’s how we met. We went out on his Harley and went to taste wine. After going to a few places and asking questions, we thought it was something we could do.” Amie had the land on John Morgan Road, off Stokes Ferry Road, and Tommy had experience in restaurants and catering and a hunger to learn more about wine. Amie is the farmer, caring for the vineyard, learning about all the bugs and fungi and molds and birds and other critters that like to eat grapes, grapevines and leaves. Tommy is the alchemist, if you will. “I got advice from as many North Carolina and Virginia winemakers as I could. I learned so many valuable things,” Tommy says. “I took courses through N.C. State, I did research on the Internet, and bought books. I’ve been a member of the N.C. Wine Growers Association for 10 years.” The hard work, and it is continuous, has paid off in the form of seyval blanc, chardonnay, sangiovese, chambourcin, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, all bottled and ready to be consumed. The seyval blanc is a crisp white with a citrusy flavor. The chardonnay, which sits in

Don’t leave kids a home without an executor in charge BY BRUCE WILLIAMS

DEAR BRUCE: I am an 87-year-old widow who will be leaving my home to my children. Will it be to my advantage to have a beneficiary deed or put my home in my children’s name with me having a lifetime right to live there? — Reader in Arizona

DEAR READER: Unless there are other things going on that you haven’t shared with me, I would keep the home in my own name and pass it on through a will. Should you put the home in your children’s name now, you will have to claim against your lifetime exemption

or your taxes will be due and payable by you, not them. You mentioned you’ll be leaving your home to “children” — another mistake. I have no problem with what you are trying to accomplish, but leaving undivided interest to more than one person is always a mistake. What happens if one of the kids wants to sell and one doesn’t? You are far better to leave the house to your children with specific directions to your personal executor. If the home is to be placed for sale as quickly as possible consistent with market conditions, etc. The proceeds are then to be divided among the four children. If one or more of

the children wish to maintain ownership, that can be accomplished simply by buying out those that do not wish to be involved any further. If more than one wants the home, it could be settled by either bidding (the highest bidder takes the house) or alternatively, a simple lottery. Leaving the house to your children in your will without these provisions is a major mistake. DEAR BRUCE: My father is 88 years old wants to disburse his liquid assets to his four children. He began giving us checks for the sum that is allowable by law without incurring extra income tax; at least that is what he

13 mining sites ordered to improve safety sisting its safety record has been better than the industry average for 17 of the last 19 years. The 13 sites identified as potentially having a pattern of serious violations include four coal mines in Kentucky, three in West Virginia and two in Tennessee. Illinois, Alabama, Montana and Nevada have one such location apiece, according to the agency. The operations are the first to be considered for the status under new screening criteria designed to make it easier to crack down on mines with a history of safety problems. The agency changed its criteria for the list after a computer error allowed Upper Big Branch to escape notice. The April 5 explosion was the deadliest at a U.S. coal mine in four decades and is the subject of criminal and civil investigations. MSHA has been criticized for never designating a mine as a persistent violator, despite the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long had

MONEY FROM 1C was told. In the same year he now wants to give us another disbursement, but because he has given us checks, he wants to make the checks out to our children, but have the money is to go to us. Is that legal? My sister is concerned that it would fall under money laundering, but I wanted to check it out before we allow him to make any mistakes. I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his idea is giving us disbursement in a way, which would keep us from having extra taxes to pay. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Janet via e-mail

DEAR JANET: Your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aims are clear, but he should be getting some advice to make sure that he has dotted his Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and crossed his Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He can give you, your siblings, or anybody else, $13,000 a year without any taxes due by him or by you. You mentioned your children. I assume they are adult children. What he is saying he is going to give them money as well, which he has a right to do, with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;understandingâ&#x20AC;? that they give it to their parents. Technically, I guess it would be called some type of money laundering. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that

the power to target those with patterns of violations, or POVs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been saying since I arrived at MSHA that the POV system is broken,â&#x20AC;? agency chief Joseph Main said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This screening represents a positive step forward, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only step.â&#x20AC;? He said statutory changes pending before Congress could help, too. U.S. Rep. George Miller, DCalif., said in a statement that without legislative reform, MSHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new notifications are â&#x20AC;&#x153;merely warnings to improve.â&#x20AC;? The Robert C. Byrd Miner Safety and Health Act of 2010 would let MSHA place mines on a pattern of violations using citations instead of requiring final adjudicated orders, said Miller, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. It also mandates sustained safety performance over 12 months rather than 90 days. Without these changes, he

said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;MSHA must jump through far too many legal hoops to compel timely improvements and ensure lasting changes to unsafe mine operations.â&#x20AC;? Main said MSHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review process is not finished. Once a thorough audit is complete, more mines may be put on notice as potential pattern violators. The agency now screens for mines with at least 50 citations for so-called significant and substantial violations.

Furthermore, he can give you and your siblings as much money as he chooses, consistent with the current tax laws to be charged against his estate as a one-time exposure, unless we are talking millions of dollars. He could give you a great deal of money each with no incometax consequences. If we are talking about those kinds of numbers, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be playing do-it-yourself game. You should be talking with an accountant and an estate planner to make these things happen.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal regulators late Friday warned 13 mining operations in seven states, including two owned by troubled Massey Energy Co., to show improvement on safety or face stricter enforcement. The Mine Safety and Health Administration says a 14th mining operation, Masseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper Big Branch mine in southern West Virginia, also meets the criteria for inclusion on the list that might qualify as having a pattern of serious violations. But the agency says actions against Upper Big Branch and a Massey subsidiary, Performance Coal Co., are on hold until the completion of an investigation into an April blast that killed 29 men. Virginia-based Massey said it will review the documents that the agency used to formulate its list, discuss the violations with officials and take corrective action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company remains committed to producing coal safely,â&#x20AC;? the company said, in-

Industrious allies will advance your ambitions along with their own if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen well, in future months. This will be done in ways where each will be able to offer something the other lacks. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If there is a hot, private issue over which you and your mate disagree, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it come up in front of others. The last thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need is for outsiders to become involved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work too well under pressure, and it could be one of those times for you. Forgo that long list of things you want to do, and hone it down to just a few. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You are not immune to the odds going against you, so it is best not to buck them, especially when making a critical assessment of something huge. Be honest about what you can or cannot do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Well-intentioned family members could create problems for you if you allow them to butt into your domestic affairs. For the sake of harmony, stifle their input by keeping them at bay. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Issues you normally can treat lightly could be a severe source of irritation for you. Do your best not to step out of character by allowing your temper to burst open. ARIES (March 21-April 19) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your nature to be generous to those in need, which is a wonderful attribute. However, there is a chance that you could carry this to extremes and put yourself in the hole. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Should you experience some opposition from an unexpected quarter, stand up for your rights, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compound the situation further by reacting in a bullying or pushy manner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You had better have an alibi ready if you failed to take care of a matter that you promised to do for another. There is a strong possibility youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taken to task. CANCER (June 21-July 22) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be your own fault if you allow yourself to be placed in a position where peer pressure compels you to do something that goes against your better judgment. Say no and mean it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Be extra careful that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use your authority over others to come off as looking like a bully. You can take bets that those you push around will find ways to even the score later on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some ideas or suggestions you make will be challenged if they are not in accord with those of others. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to take care to handle the rebuttals as tactfully as you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may think you have total control over a financial matter that you share with another, only to discover that this person has been holding back and hiding a few bucks for him/herself.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brings in $61 million in its first day

Photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prints auctioned for $7.5 million PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Christiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; says a Paris auction of prints by the late American photographer Richard Avedon, including a multicolored fourframe picture of the Beatles, has brought in $7.5 million. Auctioneers say an outsized print of the 1955 photograph of model Dovima with elephants at a circus was the top earner at the sale â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reaping $1.15 million alone. The psychedelic-toned Beatles shot from 1967 brought in $608,000. The thirdhighest take came from a photograph of model Stephanie Seymour cheekily baring herself.

Julian Robertson Jr. answers students’ questions thursday at catawba college as catawba President Dr. craig turner and Robertson Family Foundation Executive Director Dave Setzer (far right) listen.

‘I made a lot of mistakes’ Julian Robertson Jr. talks about life in finance and the joy of philanthropy BY CHRIS VERNER cverner@salisburypost.com

t’s not often that business students have the opportunity to participate in a face-to-face seminar with one of America’s legendary investors and money managers. But students from Catawba and Livingstone colleges did just that Thursday afternoon in a questionand-answer session with Julian Robertson Jr., the Salisbury native who graduated from Chapel Hill, went to work on Wall Street and eventually founded the investment firm Tiger Management Corp., one of the earliest hedge funds. Robertson, who splits his time between New York and New Zealand, where he has developed world-class resorts and wineries, was back in Salisbury to take a personal look at some of the local projects funded through the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation. The folksy, self-deprecating Robertson spent the better part of an hour talking to students about how to succeed in business, the state of the economy, investing in the stock market, the importance of philanthropy and other topics. Here’s a transcript of his visit with the students at Catawba College’s Hedrick Little Theater. Questions and answers have been edited for brevity.

Q: What led you to create Tiger Management? A: I had been in the investment business for a long time. I realized I really wasn’t satisfied with what I was accomplishing because I ran my funds differently from the people who belonged to the wealth management division of the firm where I worked. I thought my sys-

tem, the hedge system, was a much better way to go about managing money. That’s why I went out on my own at a pretty senior age to found Tiger Management. Q: What is your biggest fear? A: I’ve had some serious reversals lately. My wife died last summer and that would probably dwarf any other fears I have. But I do worry a little bit about the situation our country is getting into now. We are really not willing to sacrifice the way I think we did in years gone by. I worry that some of the tactics, such as printing money to pay our bills, aren’t the right thing to do. Historically, it definitely has not been the right thing to do. But all of that palls in comparison to my own personal tragedy that occurred this summer. Q: There’s a lot of talk about lack of financial capital in the markets. What do you think is the best way to get more liquidity back in the markets? A: I don’t quite agree with that. I think there is a lot of money in the markets now, but it’s going into different areas from where it has gone before. Currency and cash are kind of reviled in a way. Yet, bonds keep reaching new heights. People are actively bidding up commodities. Cotton has probably gone up three or four times in the last 12 months. Corn is way up, soybeans, copper — all of those commodity items — and I think people have a little fundamental mistrust of printing money. So they are matriculating to those kinds of things. Maybe if we didn’t print money, they wouldn’t be so willing to matriculate to just those things; they would be willing to buy some different things, maybe finance new businesses and that sort of thing. Q: I want to ask you about the “Tiger Cubs” (the young managers Robertson hired). What did you see in

those young analysts and portfolio managers? What did you see in them that made you hand off such big tasks and how did you train them? A: I’ve gotten a lot of credit for the Tiger Cubs. I don’t think I deserve much of that. I think they would have done very well on their own. I do take credit for the fact that we hired so many of these people over the years that we learned what to look for. The things we looked for were honesty, integrity and certainly smarts. Almost as important was (having) a very competitive nature. We found that good managers just don’t like to lose for very long. The other thing I found is that almost all of our best managers have some sort of desire to change the world, and they are doing a lot of work in that area. Q: What advice do you have for business majors who are embarking on the journey toward becoming entrepreneurs? A: The first thing I would say is don’t despair. I know how tough it is now to get jobs. I’ve tried to help a number of young people get jobs, and it’s been extremely difficult. So, my big thing would be not to despair. America desperately needs scientists. We don’t need any more people like me in finance. We’ve got too many of those people already, but we desperately need scientists. People should realize that if they have an equal amount of talent in science and something else, they probably would do better to look at science. When I went out to get a job, all the guys who did really well in college — among whom I was not one — they all went into advertising. Well, that was probably one of the worst businesses you could have gone into. But there was hardly anybody who wanted to go into finance. All that’s reversed now.

Everybody wants to go into finance. I think there is huge opportunity for people who go into science. Q: Considering the expansion of global communications, how important is the physical location of a business, particularly one that invests in financial commodities? A: I think physical location is still important. New York has a great advantage in that it is the center of finance in America, and it has a lot of good people. ... One of the things we’ve done successfully over the years is to go to the new markets that are opening. If I were a young man and were able to bear the daily part of living in China, that would be the place to go because you have more underpricings and overpricings, probably, than in any other recently emerged market. ... So you have situations on both the long side and the short side. Q: My question is about leadership and the effect good leadership has had on your life and how to develop leadership skills. A: I would say don’t be afraid to give some young person that you have a lot of confidence in a job that may be a little too big for them. If he’s the kind of guy that really wants it, he will really do a good job for you. When I started the hedge fund, I hired some very effective young people and they hired other young people. I made one of them president of Tiger when he was 30 years old. We’re still good friends, although he’s gone out and started his own hedge fund. We still talk a lot. Not long ago, he said to me, “You know we never made a mistake in giving a young person too much responsibility. I thought back, and I said, “Yeah, we didn’t. But I made a lot of mistakes when I

year. We are trying to raise our children and grandchildren in this community safely, but it is getting harder to do. People are afraid to come out after dark in some parts of Salisbury. Ladies are getting their purses snatched coming away from shopping while in the parking lot. Carjackings are taking place; people are getting murdered while at work. People are coming home to find their homes broken into, and businesses are opening up the next morning to find items have been stolen through the night. When does it stop? In May of 2010, Terry Lark answered a knock on his door at home while he was playing with his child. Terry was shot to death, leaving behind family and loved ones. Here we are in November, and not one person has came forward with information in order to make an arrest. Someone out there knows something about this murder. Let’s not allow Terry Lark’s murder to be forgotten. Let’'s make sure his family receives justice. Last Friday morning (Nov. 12), a 20-year-old female goes to work in Spencer, opens up the store and shortly after is robbed and murdered. Another senseless killing in our community. This person could have walked away with the money, but no he/she had to make sure they killed the victim. She wasn’t scheduled to work that morning but asked to so she could make extra money for her family. Little did she know that this morning would be her last. What a tragedy both of these murders were. The victims can’t speak for themselves now so we as their neighbors, as their community must speak for them. Let’s not stop caring because it wasn’t our families that died. It is time citizens started standing up for each other regardless of their race. Let’s forget about the white race and the black race and the hispanic race and just help the human race. If you have any information on either of these two tragic murders, please contact law enforcement or someone that will get this information to where it needs to go.

Spencer police have released this sketch of a person of interest in the death of Deyanira ‘Dee’ Rios de la cruz (above right), the 20-year-old clerk who was shot during a robbery at the Latin Mix store on the morning of Nov. 12. anyone with information should call the Spencer Police Department, 704-633-3574, or crimestoppers, 866-639-5245.

CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS BEGINS

Gifts come in all sizes ew people can afford to be as generous as Julian Robertson Jr., the Salisbury native who, with his sisters’ support, put $18 million into a family foundation 13 years ago to benefit local programs. Some $23 million in grants have flowed from that initial investment, and the benefits to local organizations and individuals are countless. But you don’t have to be a gazillionaire to make a difference in someone’s life. Back in 1952, Post Editor Spencer Murphy started a tradition that has helped thousands of Rowan Countians lend a hand to others, and he did it with a simple editorial. Murphy’s office was often a haven for people down on their luck and needing a kind word, a cup of hot coffee or a few dollars to tide them over. “Six feet and one inch tall, Murphy is 200 pounds of abject sympathy for the human race,” a reporter once wrote. MURPHY Compassion and a desire to help prompted him to pen an editorial, headlined “Help!” As the Post kicks off the Christmas Happiness Fund each year, we reprint part of his heartfelt plea: “Mrs. Paul Donnelly, chief of the County Welfare Office, tells the Post that there are more than 600 children in more than 250 families in this county for whom Christmas won’t be much different from any other day, unless miracles happen. “In many cases these children and their families need shoes and coats and bellyfilling food first — a holiday banquet and toys second. Mrs. Donnelly and her staff know day-by-day and year-by-year. “The Post can’t think of any happier pursuit as Christmas nears than helping make a lot of miracles. “So we want to collect a special Christmas Happiness Fund to turn over to the department for use as the fine folk down there know it can be best used. “Time is short. If you would like to help make a miracle, won’t you hurry?” The numbers have changed since 1952. Instead of 600 children in need, there are more than 2,800. And while that first drive raised $1,801 — $3 per child — last year Christmas Happiness raised $62,406.97. But the sentiment is the same, providing a small gift for children who otherwise might receive nothing on Christmas Day. Christmas Happiness attempts to provide a $25 voucher for each child in qualifying families, a maximum of $100 per family. Post readers set a record in the 2007 Christmas season, with late gifts pushing the total to $75,927.12, an all-time high. As the economy dipped, so did donations. The number of families qualifying went up. Requests are expected to be up again this year. So please help. Your gift could bring joy to a child on Christmas morning. Donations to Christmas Happiness can be mailed to the Salisbury Post, P.O. Box 4639, Salisbury, NC 28145-4639, or delivered to the Post at 131 W. Innes St.

SALISBURY POST

hen I was growing up, I envied my cousin Betsy who lived in the city and could ride her bike on smooth sidewalks. On our farm, I had to rumble along as best I could on gravel and grass. The closest paved surface was a quarter of a mile away and off limits. I had another cousin Betsy — true story — who lived in the country. She was lucky because she had a big tree whose limbs hung low enough for us to plus she ELIZABETH climb, lived next to a COOK family plot of headstones surrounded by a brick wall with a creaky, wrought-iron gate. Good, spooky stuff for nighttime adventures. I think of my cousins sometimes when city and county seem at odds here. Each was different. Neither was better than the other. Just different. • • •

That’s a good description of Rowan County and the city of Salisbury. Different. And neither better than the other. After the Nov. 2 election, the partisan split in Rowan was pretty clear. Salisbury, Spencer and East Spencer voted Democratic on the county commission race; the rest of the county went Republican.

With six municipalities in the county voting the other way, those three stuck out. But that was partisan politics. If you map out the precincts where the majority of voters favored Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s $12 million bond vote, another pattern emerges. Every precinct that’s centered around a municipality favored the bond. And most of the “yes” precincts lie along the I-85 corridor or just west of it. Down I-85, that includes East Spencer, Spencer, Salisbury, China Grove, Landis and Kannapolis — plus Sumner precinct between Salisbury and China Grove, and Blackwelder Park between Landis and Kannapolis. To the east, Faith, Rockwell and Granite Quarry favored the bond. To the west, numbers reported in the Post after election day made it appear, in error, that Cleveland was the exception, defeating the bonds 260-253. Certified figures released later by the Board of Elections show Cleveland voters OK’d the bonds, 253-216. Beyond the towns and cities, precincts west of I-85 that were pro-bond included Ellis, Franklin, Milford Hills County, North and South Locke and Mount Ulla. To the east, Hatters Shop also favored the bonds. The widest pro-bond margins came in Salisbury and the Locke precincts.

The biggest no-bond margins — and none were huge — came in Bostian School and Scotch Irish. Other precincts where the majority opposed the bond were Barnhardt Mill, Bostian Crossroads, Bradshaw, East and West Enochville, Rock Grove, Morgan I and II, Gold Knob, Steele, Trading Ford and Unity.

lege that has helped train and educate thousands of citizens. The comments about the bond issue on our website were mostly negative. The passage of the bonds, 18,119 to 14,514, helps put that criticism in perspective. Opponents usually sound off longest and loudest, especially if they can do so anonymously. But they wound up in the minority.

• • •

The point? In a country that draws a bold line between red and blue and a county that votes heavily Republican, important issues can still pull people together across party lines. Education is one of those issues. Supporting Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is not a partisan matter, nor is it a liberal-vs.-conservative issue. As one business person said to me, many of the same voters who elected Republicans Chad Mitchell, Jon Barber and Jim Sides also voted for the RCCC bonds. The voters approved new expenses based on perceived value, he said. “Not NO to everything.” People who live in municipalities pay county taxes and municipal taxes. They perceive value in living within those town limits and are willing to pay the related taxes. So it makes sense that they’d also be willing to pay another 1.25 cents per $1,000 on their home, the estimated impact of the bond issue, to support a col-

The Salisbury Rotary Club recognizes Salisbury High School’s top seniors by naming them Junior Rotarians and inviting them to speak. Alex Weant chose to talk about the RCCC bond several weeks ago, before the vote. He presented a good case in support of the bonds. His closing impressed me most. Alex said he hoped club members would support the bond “because in the long term, the only way to improve our community is to improve the education of those living in it. Ignorance is society’s worst enemy; help to try and stop ignorance in our community.” City and county voters may differ in some ways, but a majority of them united “to improve our community,” as Alex put it, by supporting Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. We are not so different after all. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

Race to the Top funds have strings attached Q: What is Race to the Top? Will this new funding save teachers’ jobs? A: Race to the Top (RttT) is a competitive, federal grant program designed to encourage and reward states that are creating conditions for education innovation and reform. North Carolina was named one of 10 winners in the second round of the federal Race to the Top competition. The NC Department of JUDY Public instrucGRISSOM tion is slated to receive approximately $400 million dollars over the next four years. The state’s Race to the Top application addressed four areas or four pillars: 1. Quality teachers and principals 2. Quality standards and assessments 3. Data systems to improve instruction 4. Turnaround of the lowest achieving schools. Every school system must complete a district application that addresses these same four areas.

Fifty percent of the funds will stay at the state level. The remaining 50 percent will be divided among school districts based on their free and reduced student lunch eligibility. The N.C. Department of Public Instruction will then revert the sum of $35 million dollars from all districts’ total allocation to develop the new state technology operating system called the North Carolina Education Cloud. The North Carolina Education Cloud will centralize technology resources into the NC Department of Public Instruction. The state in-turn will deliver what is needed at each local level. The information from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction indicates that the N.C. Education Cloud is expected to provide a highly reliable, cost-effective, serverbased infrastructure that will support PK-12 education statewide. The N.C. Education Cloud will be completed in stages and is to be fully functional by the 2013-2014 school year. For the Rowan-Salisbury School System, the beginning budget from the Race to the Top initiative is $2,404,758. After the reversion for the N.C. Education Cloud, the school system will have $1,988,261 to

address the designated state objectives over the next four years (approximately $497,065 per year). A portion of the funding will need to be used for establishing wireless facilities in order to connect our school system to the state infrastructure. The Race to the Top funds cannot be used for saving teacher jobs, purchasing textbooks or instructional supplies, or filling the budget shortfalls faced over the next few years. The federal and state guidelines give very specific directions on what can be funded with the grant. The intent of the grant is to give school districts the opportunity to be creative and innovative. However, in reality, once the specific objectives are addressed on the application and the state portion of the funding is removed from the grant allocation, little flexibility is provided for use of the remaining funding that will help the school district progress toward improving student achievement. The school system will use the remaining funds for: • Professional development. • Ways to attract teachers to high need schools and hard to place content areas.

• Instructional support for the lowest performing schools in the district. • A small amount will be used for additional technology. Professional development will be needed in aligning our pacing guides and other materials to the state’s new Common Core Standards. Teachers will be involved in developing common assessments and preparing for online end-ofgrade and end-of-course testing. More workshops will be offered in understanding and implementing the new teacher and principal/assistant principal evaluation process. Our application was submitted on Nov. 8 and must be approved by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction before any funds are distributed to our school system. Allocation of funds will follow a timeline and guidelines that were actually established by the U.S. Department of Education. More information on the Race to the Top application can be found on the school system’s website: http://www.rss .k12.nc.us/ • • • Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

INSIGHT

We can’t be our own enemies NOXVILLE, Tenn. — After the Democrats suffered a devastating defeat in the off-year election, President Obama told a news conference: “I do believe there is hope for civility.” The American people hope he’s right, and so do we. In a poll STEVE AND COKIE ROBERTS conducted for the Center for Political Participation at Allegheny College last spring, 95 percent said civility in politics was important for a healthy democracy. Almost as many said it was possible for people to “disagree respectfully.” More than three out of four agreed with the statement, “Right now, Washington is broken.” Civility has gotten a bad name. Hard-liners on both sides see it as a code word for mushy thinking at best, treason at worst. But we could not disagree more. Civility is absolutely essential to the process of governing, especially when the country faces huge problems —

starting with the exploding deficit — that will require enormous acts of compromise and courage to confront. Civility is more than good manners, although Lord knows, better manners are badly needed in many places these days. Civility is a state of mind. It reflects respect for your opponents and for the institutions you serve together. But today, politicians in both parties run for office by denigrating the very institutions they want to join. No wonder Americans have such little confidence in their government. They’ve been told repeatedly that Washington is a wasteland of corruption and confusion. And the other side is not just wrong but evil. So how can the civility Obama talks about be restored? There are no simple answers, but one of them is leadership. And there is no better role model than former Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., who served as the Republican leader for eight years, from 1977 to 1985. We both covered Baker during that period, and Steve delivered a paper here last week at a conference marking Baker’s 85th birthday. His title was, “Ci-

vility in Congress: Myth or Reality.” His answer: It’s not a myth, it can happen, it happened in the past. But it’s not a reality today. Not when a Republican lawmaker shouts “You lie” at the president during the State of the Union. Not when a Democratic fundraising appeal refers to “fire-breathing tea party nut jobs.” In 1998, Baker delivered a speech laying out his theory of leadership, and here’s a particularly pertinent passage: “Very often in the course of my 18 years in the Senate ... I found myself engaged in fire-breathing, passionate debate with my fellow senators over the great issues of the times ... But no sooner had the final words been spoken and the last vote taken than I would usually walk to the desk of my most recent antagonist, extend a hand of friendship, and solicit his support on the next issue for the following day. “People may think we’re crazy when we do that. Or perhaps they think our debates are fraudulent to begin with, if we can put our passion aside so quickly and embrace our adversaries so readily. But we aren’t crazy and we aren’t frauds. This ritual is as nat-

LETTERS

ural as breathing here in the Senate, and it is as important as anything that happens in Washington or in the country we serve, for that matter. It signifies that, as Lincoln said, ‘We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies.’ ” Today, Baker’s handshakes have been replaced by shouting matches. Washington has come to resemble Baghdad. Differences have become tribal, even theological. All we’re lacking is the car bombs. And it could be even worse in the next Congress. Two great political traditions — progressive Republicans and moderate Democrats — are on the brink of extinction. In the current House, there are 54 Blue Dog Democrats, often from border states like Tennessee, who counterbalance the party’s left-leaning leadership. Retirements and defeats will cut that number in half come January. During the primary season, Utah Republicans purged Sen. Bob Bennett for the unpardonable sin of working with Democrats on health care reform. Moderates like Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida and for-

TO THE EDITOR This is why many oppose annexation

Former Sen. Howard Baker set an example for how leaders can disagree respectfully. mer Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island (elected governor as an Independent) have all left the GOP because they felt so unwelcome. This polarization will make civility in the next Congress more difficult — and more necessary — than ever. Will the leaders in both parties follow Baker’s example and treat their rivals as friends, not enemies? We’re not optimistic. But that’s what the voters want, and what the country needs. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book is “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins). Email: stevecokie@ gmail.com.

The article in Friday’s paper (Nov. 19) about the limo ride is just another example of why the areas in the county that the city tried to annex don’t want it. Yes, the limo ride was not paid by city taxes, but the other costs of more than $2,700 for food and paper products was. How much food would $2,700 buy if that money had been donated to one of the many groups providing assistance for the needy? I hope the 200 or so that attended this event had a good time. I would like to thank the paper for covering this event so the city taxpayers will know that their tax money is being properly spent by their elected officials. On a related note: Change is coming to Raleigh in January. The issue of annexation reform that has been dodged by the Democrats looks like the first thing the Republicans are going to address. Maybe sometime next year the citizens of Rowan County and all other county residents will be protected from cities like Salisbury. They seem to have an unlimited checkbook to pay for other things like their fiber optic service, which they paid $31 million for and it may never be profitable. In the past, city officials couldn’t care less about this sort of thing because they had the magic of involuntary annexation. Hopefully the residents of all the counties in North Carolina will be protected from this magic sometime next year. — Robert N. Stone Salisbury

Troops appreciate cards and letters A CNN poll found that only 4-in-10 American voters believe President Obama was ‘definitely born’ in the U.S.

Naomi Watt portrays former CIA operator Valerie Plame in the new movie ‘Fair Game,’ a highly dramatized account of Plame’s controversial ‘outing.’

Separating fact from fiction Obama birth questions persist

Hollywood plays Plame game

ikipedia, the widely read, online, multi-authored encyclopedia, features an entry on the term “memory hole,” which originated with the prescient (if not also clairvoyant) George Orwell. The Wikipedia definition begins: “A memory hole is any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records ... particuDIANA larly as part of an WEST attempt to give the impression that something never happened.” Wikipedia itself may have just offered a good example of how the mechanism works when unknown site authorities “took down” a new entry on Lt. Col. Terrence “Terry” Lakin’s challenge to President Barack Obama’s eligibility to hold office almost as soon it went up. I read a screen shot of the entry and it is factual and non-inflammatory. Did Lakin’s page go down the memory hole? Readers who seek information about Lakin are redirected to a synopsis of his case within a composite entry on the larger Obama citizenship controversy. Not all but much of the same information is available there, only now, instead of appearing under a biographical entry titled “Terrence L. Lakin,” it is included within “Barack Obama Citizenship Conspiracy Theories.” I linger over this incident not only because Lakin supporters have dubbed this week Terry Lakin Action Week, urging American citizens to take the occasion to call their congressional representatives about the case, or even because Lakin, a decorated, 18-year Army officer and physician, faces an upcoming court martial for refusing to follow orders to redeploy to Afghanistan due to his conviction that the president hasn’t proven his eligibility to hold office. Essentially, Wikipedia’s editing decision reflects one point of view regarding the Obama “naturalborn” citizenship matter — the point

ollywood can’t seem to resist embellishing history if not just turning it into fiction. One day my youngest son engaged me in a conversation about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It was filled with the usual speculation about more than one shooter and so forth. But suddenly, he seemed to be espousing as fact theories that have been thoroughly discredited. When I asked him DAN where he got his inTHOMASSON formation, he confessed it had come from a new movie at the time by the master of distortion, Oliver Stone. It was called “JFK” and it was based on New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison’s shabby attempts to pin the job on a conspiracy led by Clay Shaw — a case that helped feed the feverish allegations of conspiracy in high places. The case was a shambles within a few days after it was filed and it took a jury only one hour to acquit Shaw when it finally got the chance. Although his movie was suspenseful and well directed, it was completely over the top and damaged his reputation. Sadly, it is probable that any number of other youngsters at the time forever based their knowledge of the president’s death on such trashy distortions. All this came to mind the other day with the release of another movie, “Fair Game,” about the outing of CIA covert operator Valerie Plame during the reign of George W. Bush. The movie attempts to substantiate contentions by Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, that the leak of her name to the press shortened her career and damaged U.S. intelligence. Those charges gained some currency when the Justice Department brought U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in from Chicago to determine if the leak violated a federal law making it a crime to uncloak U.S. spies. Fitzgerald determined there was no violation but inexplicably decided to try to nail the leaker

of view, as polled by CNN in July, of the 4-in-10 American voters who believe Obama was “definitely born” in the United States. That relatively low percentage of convinced Americans surprised me given the near100 percent figure that would surely apply to mainstream (read: liberal) and conservative media, with “alternate” exceptions. Rounding out the poll, 29 percent believe the president was “probably born” in the United States; 16 percent think he was “probably born” in another country; 11 percent think he was “definitely born” in another country and only 2 percent had “no opinion.” This demonstrates that the topic resonates with practically every American, with a fairly whopping 6in-10 at least a little uncertain whether Barack Obama was born where he says he was born. Of course, Obama’s failure to release his original 1961 birth certificate (which, contrary to mantra-like misperception, has never been released) is just the beginning. There remains a startling dearth of documentation pertaining to Obama’s progress through his 49 years of life that only begins with his birth certificate. But this subject is never taken seriously by the media or the political establishment. Even to suggest such a thing is to indulge in “conspiracy theories.” As a senior military officer with an unblemished career, service in war zones, decorations, Pentagon responsibilities including those of flight surgeon for the crew of the Army Chief of Staff and recommendation for promotion to full colonel, Lakin is neither a “crank” nor a “lunatic.” But he has a simple request for the president that drove him to what amounts to a historic act of civil disobedience for which he may well serve time in prison: Release your original 1961 birth certificate so this poisonous issue no longer divides the American people. • • • Diana West is the author of “The Death of the Grown-up: How America’s Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization,” and blogs at dianawest.net.

whom he suspected was in the White House. Ultimately this very expensive nonsense about a common practice in Washington — leaking information for political gain — led to the jailing of a reporter who had the information but didn’t write it; the threat to another journalist who was forced to reveal his source, and the conviction of an aide to then Vice President Richard Cheney for “obstructing justice” in the investigation of a noncrime. The syndicated columnist who revealed Plame’s identity, Robert Novak, was never charged with anything nor was the original source of the leak. Go figure. While there is little new here, you can bet that moviegoersbwill come away believing only one side of the picture. For a clearer view, they should have first read a recent letter to the Washington Post. It was written by R.E. Pound of Reston, Va., whom the paper identified as having served in the CIA from 1976-2009. “In 1978, my CIA affiliation was exposed by Philip Agee in his book ‘Dirty Works II.’ I’m nothing special: more than a few colleagues have been exposed at one time or another. I went on to serve nearly 34 years,” Mr. Pound wrote. He said that “as luck would have it” he was charged with looking into possible damage in one location caused by Plame’s outing. “There was none.” “So enough with the overwrought claims of injury that “Fair Game” suggests,” Pound continued. “Those claims devalue the resolve of the officers who have overcome truly dangerous exposure and they cheapen the risk from laying bare their very real achievements. It was wrong to expose Plame. It was ludicrous for her to claim that the exposure forced an end to her career in intelligence.” This devastating rebuttal sheds new light on this overblown case probably too late to change a perspective now indelibly imprinted for the ages by a Hollywood that is always more interested in drama than the facts. • • • Dan K. Thomasson is a former editor of the Scripps Howard News Service.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Post for doing the “cards and letters from home addresses” for our servicemen and women. It will mean so much to them and be a reminder that someone from home is always thinking of them and praying for their safe return. The Post did this many years ago when my husband was a young soldier in Vietnam. (I didn’t know him back then, but he grew up in Rockwell). It wasn’t a very popular time for our country, but he received many cards and notes from people here in Rowan County and around. He hung all the cards and notes from home around his cubicle and had someone take his picture at his desk. He was in the finance division that handled all of the money that came in and out of the country for payday etc. for the soldiers there. We still have that old photo, and I clip it on our Christmas tree each year to remind us all how special it is to be “home” for Christmas! I just wanted to say thank you for doing this again. I know several of the soldiers mentioned so far, and my great-nephew will be deployed in February, and I know they will appreciate it so. Thanks again. — Jeannie Misenheimer Rockwell

Our naked fears about flying N

FROM 1D tried to teach an old dog new tricks or tried to get somebody who had bad habits to change those habits. ’ ” That’s a lot harder than giving responsibility to a young person. Q: How do you balance between giving back to the community while also allowing your business to succeed and profit? A: I think I was lucky that I didn’t realize how (rewarding) philanthropy was at first. If I had, I probably wouldn’t have any money to give away now. It really is a very rewarding thing. I think you choose good people to run your business and good people to work with you in your philanthropy. Philanthropy is a difficult thing to do. You run into so many worthy projects. Our foundation (in New York) works primarily in education and medicine and the environment. In those fields, the philanthropic investment opportunities are very, very varied. You have to have the expertise to pick where you want to go. .... I don’t pretend to know which is best. You have to find people who you have confidence in to do that. It’s a very interesting problem, figuring out the best places to put your money. That’s why it’s so good to have the board we have here running the foundation in Salisbury. They know what the problems are here and which are the most serious problems. They’ll spend the money in a much better way than any government official who’s sent down from Washington or Raleigh. Q: What obstacles did you have to overcome when you first started your business? A: A lot of them. But I did have a love of the business, and that was an overriding thing. I think that’s necessary to be successful in anything. There were a lot of problems. I had my own ideas about how to do things, and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. I can’t tell you all of the doozies of mistakes I’ve made. You’re going to make mistakes, but you also have to have the courage to come back from a mistake and make another mistake. Q: What do you think of companies outsourcing as a way to increase profits? A: I believe in outsourcing. When you have a situation where somebody else can do the job cheaper and better than you can, you’re smart to outsource. We’ll always do that. I think that’s going to be more and more a part of things as we get to be more of one world. ... I think that for the world as a whole, it’s probably a good thing. Q: What influenced your drive to be so successful in the business world? A: I’ve never analyzed that much, really. I enjoyed what I was doing. I think I was very much encouraged by the young people I worked with, and they had a big belief in me. They would package me up, put me on an airplane and send me to weird places around the world ... and they’d send along a camp counselor to make sure I didn’t get in any trouble.

Julian Robertson Jr. poses with Robertson Family Foundation board members at Waterworks Visual Arts Center, another stop on his Thursday visit to Salisbury. From left are Dave Setzer (preparing to take photo), executive director of the foundation; Jim Hurley, Jim Whitton, Robertson and Fred Stanback. So I traveled over a lot of Asia doing that kind of thing. These guys (that he worked with) were very ambitious. I’m given credit for a lot of the success they’ve had, but they really should get credit for any I’ve had. Q: You mentioned that you made a lot of mistakes. Are there any mistakes that you’re proud you made? A: Well, they’ve got to be honest mistakes. If I did something that was the morally right thing to do, and it cost a lot of money, I don’t consider that a mistake. Maybe I’d consider that a rationality sometimes ... Q: If there’s one piece of advice you could leave with the audience today, what would it be? A: Try to get a good fit between your abilities and your interests. I used to pitch baseball, and I would really have loved to play baseball. Fortunately, I did not ... They have a lot of aptitude tests today, and I would sure take them because they marry up your interests and your abilities. Q: How did your service in the Navy contribute to your success? A: It meant everything to me. I think it was the thing that kept me from falling into the gutter. I had never had any responsibility (before that). ... Most people didn’t think I could even get a job. I got huge responsibilities in the Navy. It meant an enormous amount to me ... Some families don’t like the idea of their offspring going into the armed services. I think they’re fabulous institutions. Q: What advice would you give for younger people who are thinking of investing in the stock market? A: It’s the cornerstone of our capitalistic system. ... It’s a way to begin to amass capital to make yourself into a reasonably philanthropic type person or just to provide for your offspring. I think the securities markets are very good. Get some good advice; get somebody you can count on and can work with. Q: What advice would you give people who are applying for jobs and going on interviews? A: In other words, how can you dif-

ferentiate yourself from other applicants for that job? I remember when I went out (on job interviews), and the first guy I went to asked, “Can I see your resume?” I said, “I don’t have one.” He said, “Well, don’t come back until you do.” A good resume, with some things that aren’t standard on there, would give you some things to talk about. If you’ve done something like working with tigers at the zoo, then put that in there because not everybody will have that on their resume. Go in there, show your interest in the subject, be relaxed and try to enjoy the interview. Q: What attracted you to buy property in New Zealand? A: New Zealand has been a love affair with me and my wife and my sons and my grandchildren. It’s a very special little corner of this earth. The first thing I bought down there was a sheep farm, and I had no idea what I had. It has the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world. It has waterfalls and what is probably the largest tree in private hands in the world. I didn’t even know these things existed, and it was sold as a sheep farm. I still think it’s the prettiest place I’ve ever seen, this sheep farm. New Zealand is perfectly gorgeous. You can buy a national park for the price of a very modest New York apartment. Q: What do you think the tax rate should be on dividends, estates and income? A: This is probably in reaction to an editorial I wrote with (former Treasury Secretary) Bob Rubin, that I thought it was a disgrace that America no longer had an inheritance tax. I’m going to lobby a little for that. To me, the inheritance tax is the best of all taxes. ... It’s only fair for people who’ve gotten so much from this country to give something back. I’m going to leave it up to your judgment as to what the income tax should be. But I think we’ve got to start paying our bills rather than printing money. That has not been a very good way to operate an economy over the long term.

my private principalities is simply unacceptable. Forget the creepiness factor, which is sufficient; consider the principle — quickly! — before you get used to the notion that government has the right to do Whatever Is Necessary To Protect You. From what, if not this? It isn’t at all clear, meanwhile, that such searches will ensure greater safety. Theoretically the idea is to protect us from future would-be “Christmas bombers.” You recall the chap who tried to blow up a plane by igniting explosive material concealed in his undies. So now none of us is entitled to pantaloon protection. Heaven forbid the next inept, would-be terrorist conceals his flammables in his nether region. Shall soon our interior caves and corridors require exploration to ensure that the system works? It is further reassuring to recall that the Christmas bomber was foiled in his mission when a fellow passenger tackled him. Whereupon, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the tackling was evidence that “the system” works. Ah. And what happens to these glorious images of dehumanized Americans once their bodies are scanned? How long before we see a montage of the digitally denuded on some website? Notwithstanding government promises to the contrary, they may be preserved. Earlier this year, the U.S. Marshals Service conceded that some 35,000 images from a scanner at a security checkpoint at a Florida courthouse had been saved. The TSA insists that though storage is possible, the storing feature isn’t activated when devices are installed at airports. Small comfort. But more alarming than the apparatuses is our willingness to go lowing into the night. Incrementally, we adapt to the stripping of civil liberties until, with the passage of time and the blinkering of generational memory, we no longer remember when things were otherwise.

EW YORK — In the accelerating debate about airport patdowns that feel like a clumsy third date and body scans that border on Peeping Tom shows, it’s hard to find a sane place to land. Is this really for our own good? Or are we trading what’s left of our human dignity by participating in a Kafkaesque farce that more closely KATHLEEN resembles a college fraPARKER ternity psychology experiment devised around a keg: “OK, here’s the plan. Americans are terrified of an airplane bomber, right? So let’s see what how much we can get them to do if we promise them safety.” “Like what?” “I dunno, like let us touch their genitals and use scanners that show them naked, stuff like that.” “No WAY!” In the three weeks since the Transportation Security Administration began its new scanner/pat-down procedures, hundreds of people in fact have protested. Some have reported to consumer agencies and the American Civil Liberties Union that they’ve been touched aggressively in the genital area. Others have reported inappropriate commentary about their physiques. Fair question: Is all this worth it? What price in dignity and privacy are we willing to pay for the illusion of safety? It’s not as though flying is a delightful experience without the sexual harassment. This Thanksgiving Eve, some number of unhappy travelers are planning to demonstrate their opposition to TSA’s expanded powers by protesting at security check-in or by boycotting travel altogether. Reassurances from TSA, meanwhile, are less than edifying. Even though, yes, the scans essentially reveal your jock and bra size, inspectors are sitting elsewhere and don’t know the human identity of the exposed corpus. Nor, we can guess, do they care. The absence of nudist airports isn’t on many lists of society’s regrettable oversights. Those who wish not to submit to the body scan, whether out of modesty or concerns about radiation exposure, can submit instead to intimate frisking. Children under 12 are given modified pat-downs, though this isn’t much comfort. Touching a 13-year-old boy or girl, possibly the most sensitive creature on the planet, is supposed to be just hunky-dory? In calculating my own travel plans, I’ve determined that flying home roundtrip for Thanksgiving, I will be scanned or handled going and coming. My predisposition at this writing: I’m just not that into turkey. This isn’t merely a matter of modesty, though that is a consideration. I don’t like the idea of some stranger examining my concessions to gravity without my permission. Surrendering to rule shouldn’t be confused with granting permission. One is submission; the other an invitation to mutual consent. As to the alternative, no thank you. The idea of a stranger, even one of the same sex, foraging around

It’s a bit dark in these Southern short stories “New Stories from the South: 2010: The Year’s Best,” edited by Amy Hempel. Series editor, Kathy Pories. Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. 2010. 384 pp. $14.95. BY DEIRDRE PARKER SMITH

Salisbury native publishes book T on legalism Dr. Jim Correll, formerly of Route 1, Salisbury, has published his sixth book, “Bound by Legalism.” Correll graduated from West Rowan High School in 1966. Correll was a sportswriter for the Salisbury Post in the mid-’60s. He holds doctor of ministry and master of divinity degrees from Luther Rice Seminary and a bachelor of science degree from Columbus College. He entered the ministry upon retirement from the U.S. Army Special Forces. A decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, he received the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart, as well as many other decorations. He commanded the U.S. Army Parachute Team (Golden Knights) for three years, completing more than 1,200 parachute jumps in his career. He is now pastor of Register Baptist Church, Register, Ga. “Bound by Legalism” is primarily a study of the biblical Letter to the Galatians from the Apostle Paul, in which the apostle is aghast that his children in the Lord are being led into the bondage of legalism after they have experienced the freedom of grace. Correll relates his own struggles with legalism as a young man, describing himself as “the poster boy for legalism.” He urges readers to break out of the jail of rules keeping and to enjoy the trip to heaven. Other books by the author include “Faith in the Balance,” (published last year), “The Refiner’s Fire,” and a trilogy on the Book of Revelation: “The Evaluation,” “The Tribulation” and “The Illumination.” Copies of all these books are available from the author, who may be contacted online at jhcorrell2@aol.com.

Dan Rather ‘Summing Up’ NEW YORK (AP) — Dan Rather is in the mood for “Summing Up.” The former CBS anchor and reporter has a deal with Grand Central Publishing for a memoir tentatively scheduled to come out in 2012. Grand Central announced Tuesday that “Summing Up” covers his long career in journalism, from the John F. Kennedy assassination and Watergate to the Iraq War and his final years at CBS, when a disputed story about President George W. Bush’s military service led to Rather’s departure in 2006. “I just felt the time had come for me to sum up my career in a candid memoir, and now I feel the time is right,” Rather said in a statement. “Plus, with the changing climate — and attitude — about news and journalists, I feel I can give readers an honest perspective on the present, and, more important, on the future of news.” The 79-year-old Rather, known for a confrontational style and for being the object of unending criticism by conservatives, has also written a memoir about his childhood. “I Remember: Growing Up in Texas” was published in 1991. He currently produces an hourlong news program, “Dan Rather Reports,” for cable channel HDNet. Grand Central is a division of the Hachette Book Group.

SALISBURY POST

his year’s “New Stories from the South” contains an interesting collection of short stories, chosen by editor Amy Hempel. The ones I chose to read for a sampling are curiously dark, with unpredictable endings. It’s those endings that might make you want to try another one or another one to see what will happen. The authors may be familiar to you: Rick Bass, Wendell Berry, Ann Pancake, Ron Rash, Elizabeth Spencer, to name a few, or totally new. Mary Mayhew Bergman was born in Gaffney, S.C., but recently moved to rural Vermont. Her story, “The Cow That Milked Herself,” came about because her in-laws are both veterinarians, and her husband was about to graduate from vet school. At the time, she was four or five months pregnant and her mother-in-law had an aggressive cancer. Using the ultrasound equipment at the vet practice, they gave her mother-in-law a peek at her new granddaughter, and a chance to listen to her heartbeat. The story is about a young couple, very much like Bergman and her husband, and her first pregnancy. In the story, she is terrified of what might go wrong, but realizes she has a strong mothering instinct, like a jaguar chasing her cubs. The most disturbing story will haunt you for some time. Ron Rash, an award-winning North Carolina author, writes “The Ascent,” a literally chilling story about a young boy who finds a plane crash deep in the woods. He pretends he will res-

cue the man and woman, slumped dead in their seats. But this child is the one who needs rescuing from his drug-addicted, barely functional parents. They seem to love their boy, but are so addled by drugs that he must fend for himself. Then one day, as snow falls, he goes back to the crashed plane to fly away from it all, with horrible results. I read the story that was published twice by McSweeney’s, the original and an updated version with a new narrator and a different tone. It’s the story of a fastmoney good-ol-boy thinking he’s doing his whiny brother a favor. Matthew, who has made his money in real estate, feels sorry for his brother Stephen, in his dead-end job, but he also finds him contemptible, because he has so few ambitions. When he brings his brother to his half-finished cabin in the North Carolina mountains, he’s trying to be nice, but seems to enjoy arguing and goading him. When Matthew, Stephen and neighbor George go fishing, but bag a moose, Matthew’s in for a bumpy ride. Ann Pancake writes about another set of brothers, who are holding on to dying land near a strip mine in West Virginia. They’ve survived working in the mine. They’ve dodged the constant explosions that lay the ground open, endured the shaking walls and falling plaster. In “The Arsonists,” Dell is forced to constantly calm his brother Kenny. When the company wanted people to move out of the area, houses began to burn down in the middle of the night. Dell and Kenny were part of

a posse that patrolled the neighborhoods, trying to catch the arsonists. It was just too much for Kenny, who imagines shadowy figures in the distance and flames tickling toward his house. Dell keeps fighting the battle with him, but it’s wearing him out. No one cares about the dead town or Dell and Kenny. Dell sluices water over his brother in the bathtub until Kenny

“comes back to himself.” There are plenty of stories to chose from in this volume, which celebrates 25 years of collections, and it’s also full of information about the writers and the publications the stories first appeared in. Short stories are perfect for quick visits with authors you know and the ones you should discover. Try one on and see where it leads you.

Books about careers will help new workers, those laid off BY AMY NOTARIUS Rowan Public Library

High school and college students, career changers, laid-off workers, or anyone interested in the latest information on fast growing careers will want to check out two outstanding new career information series now available at Rowan Public Library. Ferguson Publishing calls its multi-volume set, “Field Guides to Finding a New Career” an “Allin-One guide to navigating a new career.” Each volume focuses on a particular industry and the jobs available in that field, from “Internet and Media” to “Outdoor Careers.” In describing each job, the Field Guides use the language and visual style of a travel guide, complete with sketches of compasses, maps and backpacks. In their introduction to each volume, the publishers explain that the book’s travel-guide-style design is intended to encourage and reassure career changers, many of whom are forced into a change due to layoffs or other circumstances beyond their control. Their message to career changers: Reorienting yourself and reapplying your skills and knowledge to a new career is not an uphill slog, but an exciting journey of exploration. No matter whether you are in your 20s or close to retirement age, you can bravely set out to explore new paths and discover new vistas.

In the “Career Compass” and “Essential Gear” sections readers learn the skills, knowledge and traits most important for that job. In “Notes from the Field,” (printed in informal type to look like a journal entry) a person working in the field describes how they came to be in that career and what they consider key to success. Appendices offer general information on starting a business and job searching. Ferguson’s other series, “Top Careers in Two Years,” covers, as the name implies, careers for those considering a two-year associate’s degree program. More than 6.1 million students had enrolled in two-year degree-granting institutions by 2005. These programs provide training needed for a rewarding career without the expense of a four-year degree. In “Top Careers in Two Years” readers again learn what skills are needed to succeed in each field and the average salary of each job, as well as the training programs available and what to look for in a school. Personal interviews with a professional in the field, like the ones described in the “Notes from the Field” section above, are again included in each chapter, and are one of my favorite features of both Ferguson series. Here, in their own words, professionals such as air traffic controllers and insurance agents briefly describe how they got

started, what a typical day is like, and what they like best about their job. Readers considering a field can quickly tell if this work matches their talents and interests. One fact that stands out from both series — the need to keep one’s skills up-to-date in a fastmoving, global economy. Many of the jobs included here — cyber security specialist, e-commerce specialist, laser technician — didn’t exist 30 years ago, and it’s hard to imagine the job titles we’ll see in just 10 or 20 years. But for the latest information on today’s careers, presented in a readable and user-friendly format, check out Ferguson Publishing’s two new career series at Rowan Public Library.

Canine Caregivers Animal assisted therapy gives comfort to hospice patients and families BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

“Here, puppy.” As words go, these two are pretty simple, but imagine hearing them spoken by a stroke victim who hasn’t uttered a peep in five weeks. That is the power of a therapy dog. And that is the power of Peggy Grace, a Jack Russell terrier-beagle mix. Karen Hay, a volunteer with Rowan Regional Medical Center Hospice, saw this scenario play out during one of her regular nursing home visits with Peggy Grace. On her next visit, she made sure that a doctor was in the room to hear the patient say, “Here, Peggy.” Later, Peggy Grace was invited to join the patient in her speech therapy sessions, since her presence was clearly motivation for the patient to express herself. “These dogs really mean a whole lot to patients,” Karen says. Dogs as therapy, or animal assisted therapy, is gaining momentum. It’s a growing field — whether the dogs are working with children with autism or with veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hospice organizations and hospice houses are seeing the value of incorporating this kind of therapy, says Laura Lawrence, who is supervisor of support services for Rowan Regional Medical Center Hospice. Therapy dogs — or “hos-pets” can help hospice patients and families cope with depression and stress, which tends to have a positive impact on patient health. Interactions with animals have been shown, for example, to help lower blood pressure.

In recent years, therapy dogs have become a much more common sight in nursing facilities. Recently at the Brian Center, Peggy Grace made one of her regular visits to resident Daisy Medford, who looks forward to receiving affection and comfort from her. Daisy used to raise chihuahuas and dachsunds, so she’s assuredly a dog person. “I really miss my dogs,” says Daisy, who has been getting visits from Peggy Grace for

about a year. Before she moved to the Brian Center, she had to give away Cricket, her beloved fox terrier. Being able to stroke and snuggle with Peggy Grace helps her handle her grief — not only from missing her dogs but from losing her husband as well. As Daisy and Peggy Grace visit on Daisy’s bed, Peggy Grace’s Novant ID badge — with her photo — is visible. “I am a therapy dog,” it reads. “Most facilities now allow a well-mannered dog in,” says Karen, who takes Peggy Grace to visit residents at six different facilities in the area. Karen loves to share her dog with those who need her. “Bringing joy to someone else through your dog — it’s so rewarding,” she says. Daisy agrees. “They do a great service,” she says, rubbing Peggy Grace’s stomach. “It lifts my spirits for them to come in. “It takes a special dog to be a therapy dog — they have to have the right personality.” Peggy Grace is a soulful little miss who brings a calm demeanor and a sweet disposition to her role. Karen, who is retired, found Peggy Grace at a shelter. She

was there to make a donation, she says, and had absolutely no intention of adopting a dog. But on her way out, she passed the dog runs. Karen made eye contact with Peggy Grace, and that was it. “I said, ‘She’s coming home with me.’” Peggy Grace has her certification from Therapy Dogs International, which means that she has passed a multi-element test. The certification requires that a dog be able to greet a person it doesn’t know, walk quietly on a leash through a crowd of people, demonstrate the ability to work around medical equipment, and understand the command “leave it.” A dog also must be able to restrain itself from affectionate licking — what Daisy calls a “doggie kiss” — since not all patients are open to it, and also for the dog’s own safety — patients may have had topical medications applied that a dog could ingest. Some therapy dogs know tricks and will entertain in their role — which can be valuable

It was a natural progression for Laura to want to be involved herself. “I’ve always been interested in pet therapy,” she says. She’s currently laying the groundwork not only for Zoey but for her other dog, Bella, as well. She looks forward to the day when she can take them along when she visits patients and families. Whether or not a dog has what it takes to be a therapy dog depends a great deal on temperament, Laura says, but the actual training is important as well. Since Zoey has finished her basic home manners course, the next step is to get certified as a Canine Good Citizen, a designation often required for a dog to enter a public building. Then, she can be certified by Therapy Dogs International after passing an 11-step behavior test. “Our hos-pets will be mainly emotional support and a comfort,” she says, although some therapy dogs can play a role in patient rehabilitation.

Getting Mom to pare guest list Q. My mom has taken over our wedding-guest list. It wouldn’t be a big deal (she is footing the bill, after all), except the wedding chapel we’ve chosen for the ceremony isn’t exactly enormous — it holds about 200 people. How can we politely ask her to rein in her list? A. It’s tough when parents are paying for the wedding. Of course they should have a say in how their money is spent, but you can draw the line. In your case, at least you have a bargaining chip: There’s nothing anyone can do about how many people will fit comfortably in the chapel. If you feel your mom is expanding her list at the exclusion of people important to you, by all means let her know. Avoid playing the blame game, though.

of people we’re inviting, the ceremony will be overcrowded. Do you think we can hammer out a compromise?” If you still feel you’ve got more guests than unobstructed-view seats, fear not. There are a couple of tricks to making sure your honored guests get the best seats in the house. Mark the first five to 10 pews as seats of honor with ribbons or flowers. Then either make sure your ushers know exactly who the honored people are and where they should be seated, or include pew cards in those guests’ invitations. Guests can then present these cards to the ushers at your ceremony, letting them know where they should be seated. This way, you’ll ensure that the most honored guests are up front, regardless of how many others your mom invites. For more guest list advice, go to TheKnot.com/ planning.

Confirmation ceremony causes confusion for the neighbors

Dear Neighbor: It is not a requirement that you share a religious belief (or have any belief) in order to attend a religious ceremony. When attending the ceremony, you will not be expected to participate in any rituals you are not comfortable with. You are literally a witness, hopefully an interested and respectful one. You do not have to give this child a religious gift, though I think it’s a good idea to give a gift that has a special and hopeful message for this occasion, which is (literally) a rite of passage. You could also ask the child’s parents for some directive by saying, “We’re not religious, so we could

use some direction on what to expect.” They’ll be happy to fill you in. You will choose on your own whether to attend, but you are being honored with an invitation to a milestone event in this child’s life and should respond with grace and gratitude. • • • Dear Amy: With the holidays fast approaching, I have a dilemma. How do we get across to our son and daughter-in-law that it’s not OK to just bring their two very large dogs whenever they come to visit? My husband and I had a dog that died a number of years ago and we decided that we would not replace her for a number of reasons. They came for a visit some time ago and simply showed up with both dogs. They didn’t ask if it was OK to bring the dogs; they just showed up! I know that it’s inconvenient for them to make arrangements otherwise as they live several hours away, but we know they do this when they visit other people who have severe allergies. I find it quite rude and arrogant that they would assume they can simply show up with these dogs in tow. They have a small child we would like to see more often, but we hesitate to invite them for fear we’ll have to “put up with the dogs.” — Tired Grandma Dear Tired: I am astounded by how often I receive queries about people bringing pets on overnight stays. You don’t say you’ve ever discussed this with the couple, and this is a logical first (and last) step.

Monica Sain played “Gremlins” by Paterson; Luke Sain played “The Phantom’s Prelude in C minor” by J.S.Bach, and Salem Hockett played “Shadow Dance” by MacDowell. Students were from Hickory, Concord and Salisbury. After a pizza party, the students honed their skills with questions about music theory and music history in a game called “Music Jeopardy.” They were awarded prizes for correct answers. The party concluded with each team winning seven prizes for seven correct answers.

INTERACTIVE

Because you’ve allowed them to establish a precedent which you now wish to undo, you’re going to have to tell them, explicitly, what your needs are. And so you say, “I know you are used to bringing the dogs when you visit, but we just can’t handle them in the house any longer.” You could do some research on good local kennels, giving this family the opportunity to travel with their dogs and visit them while they’re visiting you.

— but Peggy Grace is “too serious for that,” Karen says. “She’s very persnickety and has a well-defined sense of what’s appropriate and inappropriate — like a schoolmarm.” Therapy dogs can be helpful in certain kinds of occupational therapy, Karen says. A patient

can exercise motor skills by brushing a dog, she explains. And a patient might be more motivated to walk if a dog is padding along next to her walker. When Peggy Grace comes to see Daisy, however, she usually just lies cradled in Daisy’s arms, with Daisy cuddling her. The staff members of the places Peggy Grace visits also get a benefit from seeing her — she helps reduce their stress levels, too. At the Brian Center, it’s clear that it’s not just the residents who love Peggy

Grace but the employees as well. Karen explains that sometimes, like human caregivers, therapy dogs will burn out. “They absorb the emotions of people around them,” she says, noting that after visits with Alzheimer’s patients, Peggy Grace is expecially worn out. But the patients, however, tend to be energized, which makes it all worthwhile for Karen — and perhaps for Peggy Grace as well.

Oaks catered the meal.

Brown family reunion A reunion of the Dolphus M. Brown and Lottie S. McCombs family was held on Sunday, Nov. 14 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Salisbury. A covered dish meal was enjoyed by the 30 members present. The order of business was conducted by president Perry Julian. Arlene Basinger Haynes, Carol Basinger Edwards and Lottie Ritchie Simpson were elected as planning assistants. All eight first generation families were well represented including the following: Grace and Ernest Wilhelm, Nora and Sidney Misenheimer, Maude and Harvey Fink, Ila and Gilbert Ritchie, Maggie and Cecil Julian, Hoke and Omah Shuping Brown, Thelma and Lonnie Bernhardt, and Katie and Homer Basinger. The oldest person present was Zada Misenheimer Stafford who recently celebrated her 96th birthday. Her granddaughter Susan Taylor was the youngest member attending. The altar flowers were donated to the families of Ruth Canup Bernhardt and Luther Paul Canup as a love gift. The group decided to hold their next annual reunion at the same time and location on Nov. 13, 2011. Other members attending were as follows: Ruth Earnhardt Julian, Dico (Mrs. Hoke) Wilhelm, Vaugn and Nancy Wilhelm, Wayne and Johnsie Stafford Taylor, Harry and Lottie Ritchie Simpson, Herman Ritchie, Voight and Frances Basinger, Jerry and Linda Deal Beaver, Jimmy Deal, Larry and Carleen Lyerly Fink, Mary Ritchie Sherrill, Nancy H.

Dear Amy: We recently received an invitation to the confirmation service and celebration party of our neighbor’s daughter. They are a nice family and we get along well at a variety of neighborhood functions. We are not of the same faith (although we’ve never disASK closed that to AMY them), and we do not believe in any god or gods. We know this is a special occasion for their family, but we are unsure if we should attend. It does not feel appropriate to us to attend their church service or give a religious gift. Should we decline the invite or go? Is it inappropriate to not come with a religious card or gift? We’re stumped and don’t want to be rude. — Polite Neighbor

in Jaime Van Wye’s Hollywood tricks class, dogs learn to die dramatically. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dogs don’t just roll over and play dead in Hollywood. It takes a good trainer and lots of practice. In Jaime Van Wye’s Hollywood Tricks class, dogs learn to throw themselves on the ground and die dramatically. Olive, a 5-year-old English shepherd, goes to the ground when she hears the command “Bang, bang,” but keeps her head up until she hears a third bang, said owner Sherry Marks. When Laura Milton forms her hand into a gun her Rottweiler, Mojo, will roll over with his feet up in the air and his paws hanging limp. Successful graduates of the class can also fetch beer from the fridge, take your socks off, grab a cell phone when it rings or help collect the laundry. “In L.A., everybody wants their dogs to be in the movies, you know how it is,” Van Wye said. Van Wye is founder of the Zoom Room, a “social petworking” club she now is franchising. The center’s three branches — in the Los Angeles area and Austin, Texas — offer group classes, private classes, birthday parties, “bark mitzvahs,” meet-ups and other activities. The tricks series is made for Hollywood, though. Van Wye, the daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Gail Goodrich, first had a boarding kennel that catered to customers like Tom Cruise, Kelly Clarkson and Tyra Banks. Then she and her husband opened the Zoom Room and came up with Hollywood Tricks to set her center apart.

Her own dog, a Komodor named Clyde Orange, has been in a movie or two (“Marmaduke” and the yetto-be-released “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2”). His specialty is taking her socks off, and they’ve got a spot to show off that trick on Jay Leno’s “Tonight” show. “He’s like a celebrity,” Van Wye said. The Zoom Room teaches 78 different behaviors. In addition to standard hoops and hurdles, dogs learn to skateboard, walk a plank and play basketball. That last trick has nothing to do with her father, Van Wye said. It was designed around one of her students who liked to jump. Classes don’t teach barking or growling because those can be too hard to turn off. And so far, there has been no call for a dance class. Milton, a magazine art director, said she decided against a Hollywood career for Mojo, but what Mojo got was better — friends and fans. “A lot of people are intimidated by Rotts. When he does his little repertoire of tricks, the fear is gone,” she said. Mark Bordelon, a 44-yearold educator, enrolled his German sheperd Zola in an agility class because she was so shy and fearful. In the tricks class, it took her just five tries to balance a bone on her nose. “Even dogs need self-actualization,” Bordelon said. ——— Online: http://www.zoomroomonline.com

t’s almost upon us — the holiday season. During this hectic season, people take on more responsibilities and commit to more events and get-togethers than any time of the year. All of this extra work can put a strain on the body if the average person is unprepared. Surviving the holidays requires thinking of them as athletic activities and training for the work ahead.

The added responsibilities of the holidays, including shopping, decorating and hosting, puts added stress on everyone this time of year. Those not used to the on-the-go speed and long days may find they suffer frequent ailments this time of the year, including physical injuries. Think about how the holidays are akin to an athletic event:  During shopping a person can unknowingly walk several miles in a store or mall.

 Individuals often tote around heavy packages and/or lift weighty items.  Long hours are spent on one’s feet.  Fast decisions have to be made on purchases.  Holiday decorating may entail climbing up and down a ladder or bringing heavy boxes out of the attic.  People may keep long hours traveling to social engagements, taxing their bodies.

Holiday Season Survival Tips These are just a few demands on the body. In order to prevent fatigue or more serious injury from holiday activities, consider these pointers.

 Stretch out before you hit the stores. Warm up stiff muscles to prepare for the day ahead.  Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can tax the body and lead to feelings of sluggishness or even induce headaches.

 Wear comfortable shoes with plenty of cushioning to withstand the impact of walking all day.  Use a backpack to tote essentials along. Plus, packages can be stuffed into the backpack to free up hands or balance the weight of purchases.

 Don’t carry around more than you can handle. Plan frequent trips to the car to drop off purchases. If lockers are available in the mall, use them.

 Take breaks every hour and sit down to rest feet and de-stress.  Eat light, healthy foods. Greasy fast food could strain overstressed organs. Heart attacks during the holidays are common. Healthy foods can also help combat the average 6 pounds of weight a person gains during the season of overindulgence.

 Caffeine can stress the body even more, so try to limit intake.  Know your limits. If your body is telling you enough is enough, call it a day.

Vintage T-Shirts Gain New Life as Unique Holiday Gifts

hat sports jersey from sophomore year of high school has seen better days, but you can’t seem to part with it even now. What about that hair band concert T-shirt you're too embarrassed to admit is still tucked in the back of your closet? Are the kids making fun of your college alma mater tee that has holes under the arms? T-shirts hold special places in the hearts of many people. Now quirky, athletic and downright memorable tees can be turned into customized gifts.

Cut up T-shirts to make a scrapbook of certain times in a person's life. Include funny anecdotes, photographs and artwork. Head to the local craft store and pick up an empty shadowbox frame. Fold

friend or loved one’s prized T-shirt and place it on display in the shadowbox (the depth of the box makes it easier to accommodate the bulk entire shirt). Talented sewers can turn vintage T-shirts into new works of fashionable attire. For example, a graphic tee can be sewn to an elastic-waisted skirt to create a pull-on dress perfect for a budding fashionista. Downsize favorite T-shirts so they can be worn by children. Make holiday decorating easy for individuals who love to ‘do up’ their homes in holiday decor, top to bottom. Gather ugly, quirky, and seasonal holiday T-shirts and sweatshirts and turn them into a holiday-inspired quilt perfect for tossing over a recliner or sofa. Every year the quilt can be part of holiday decorating tradition.

Don’t Get Unravelled over Wrapping

he countdown to Christmas has begun and in the race to get every gift bought, and every detail right for the ensuing holiday, we often forget one crucial step: wrapping the presents. Wrapping gifts may take some time, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun.

1. Not everyone is a master gift-wrapper. But maybe there’s a unique flair you place on your gifts that sets them apart from others. It could be a certain type of paper, or an interesting gift tag. Discover your niche and embrace it. For example, maybe your niche can be creating fabulous bows to adorn the gifts you wrap.

2. There’s fun in numbers: host a gift-wrapping party. Everyone volunteers to bring a specific set of supplies and one person hosts the venue. Have snacks catered or simply order out for pizza. With the chatting and working going on simultaneously, you’ll get through that mountain of gifts in no time.

3. Skip the paper and go for the bag: gift bags can be the time-crunched gift-wrapper’s saving grace. They come in all sizes, require just about a minute’s time and what’s more, can be reused. To further expand the recycling power of gift bags, choose solid-color or holiday-neutral bags so that their reuse won’t be restricted to Christmas.

4. Delegate: enlist the help of your children. Naturally they shouldn’t be given their own to wrap, but they can help out with other family members’ gifts. It can be an enjoyable job for them, and it will lighten your burden.

wrapping gifts stems from the level of disorganization with which some people start the task. Take a few minutes to clear a space for wrapping. A table or another solid surface that doesn’t require you to hunch over is best. Lay out your supplies: tags, pens, bows, ribbons, paper, scissors, gift receipts, etc. Gather together the gifts that are going to each specific person and wrap them in order. Later separate the wrapped presents according to whether they’ll be placed under the tree or put in the car to travel to a friend or relative’s house.

6. When all else fails ... for a small donation, many stores offer complimentary gift-wrapping. There’s no shame in taking advantage of this service!

Gift ideas when you’re pressed for time

he Christmas countdown has begun, and the days will no doubt fly off the calendar like they do every year. Before you know, it’s only a few days until the holiday is here. Those who haven’t yet started shopping may feel pressed for time and worry that they will not be able to find gifts for everyone on their lists — at least gifts that don’t look like they were afterthoughts. But good gifts can be found in the eleventh hour.

Adults  Visit the local liquor store for a bottle of wine in the price range desired. Wrap it in a wine bag or leave it as is with a nice bow.

 Pick up passes to a local attraction, such as an amusement park or a museum. Put together tickets for a play paired with a soundtrack of the production.  Food is often appreciated. A box of fine chocolates or one of those edible fruit arrangements will be a tasteful, and tasty, gift.

 Fill a large bowl with a scooper, sprinkles, cherries, and other toppings for making ice cream sundaes.  Pick a gift that embraces the holiday spirit. Holiday music, ornaments or table decorations can be used this year or next.

Children  Pop into a toy store or a department store and pick up a cuddly stuffed animal.  Buy an art set for older children, full of paints and markers. If a complete set can’t be found, make an art package with a bunch of supplies packed into a gift bag.  Choose an educational gift that is still fun, like alphabet flash cards or puzzles. A subscription to a children’s magazine would also work, since all children love getting mail.  Few kids will turn down a DVD of their favorite television characters. The DVDs should feature an age-appropriateness rating to make choosing one even easier.

Teenagers

Credit Card Law Should Benefit Holiday Shoppers American holiday shoppers might not know it yet, but in May of 2009 the president signed into law an act that will help holiday shoppers who might not have used their credit cards much this year. Early in 2010, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure, or Credit CARD Act went into effect. Intended to improve consumer disclosures and put an end to some questionable practices in the credit card industry, the law has led to many changes that might be a boon to consumers this holiday season. More advanced notice of rate hikes: As long as there has been credit cards, there have been interest rate hikes. Previously, the Truth in Lending Act required credit cards to notify cardholders of a rate increase at least 15 days in advance. Under the new law, however, cardholders must be given 45 days’ notice before rate hikes can go into effect. Greater restrictions on fees: Issuers can no longer charge more than one overlimit fee per billing cycle and banks cannot charge consumers a fee to pay their credit card debt. What’s more, payments received by the due date, or the next business day if the bank does not accept mailed payments on the due date, no longer warrant a late fee like they did in the past. Young adults are protected from themselves: In the past, credit card companies would set up shop on college campuses, figuring most college kids would automatically sign up without regard for interest rates or penalties and fees. However, consumers under the age of 21 must now prove an independent means of income (Mom and Dad don’t count) or provide the signature of a co-signer 21 years of age or older. Without one of those two things, consumers will just have to wait until their 21st birthday for their first credit card. More consumer-friendly payment allocation: In the past, credit card companies would apply payments to lower-rate balances first. However, above-the-minimum payments must now be applied first to the card balance with the highest interest rate, an important change for consumers planning to use more than one piece of plastic this holiday season. Statements now arrive earlier: Some cardholders might have noticed their statements now arrive much faster than in years past. That’s not because the United States Postal Service suddenly hired Olympic sprinters to deliver the mail. Instead, the new law mandates credit card companies send statements 21 days before a payment is due, a full week earlier than the previous law required.

Workplace Gifting D s and D n’ts :(

xchanging gifts goes beyond friends and family members every year. Many coworkers exchange gifts come the holiday season. The rules that govern gifting workplace acquaintances may differ from those involved with gifting family.

Well-meaning employees can send the wrong message when choosing gifts inappropriate for the workplace. Here are some dos and don’ts to serve as guidelines when choosing presents for the office. Do find out if the company has a gift-giving policy. This will help establish the rules regarding exchanges and can make the process easier. Don’t assume the people in the office share your tastes. Try to choose a generic gift that will appeal to the masses. Gift cards can be versatile.

Don’t buy gag gifts or those that are off-color. Do include a gift receipt so items can be returned if necessary. Don’t exchange gifts in front of others with whom you didn’t choose to exchange gifts. This can be uncomfortable for all involved.

Do set a spending limit on gifts.

Do participate in a Secret Santa or holiday grab bag if the entire company is doing so.

Don’t buy something extravagant for coworkers or the boss simply to show off.

Don’t select gifts that are political or religious in nature.

Do stick to gifts that are not overly personal.

Do shop in advance so you’ll have ample time to select the best gift for coworkers.

Host or Hostess Gift Ideas

hen friends choose to open their homes to others, it is customary for guests to offer a gift of thanks in return. There is the old adage that guests should ‘‘knock with their feet ’’ when arriving at a party or social event. This means their hands will be busy carrying a gift. Although presenting a gift to the hosts will not guarantee a future invite, it certainly will show the current invitation has been much appreciated. Some guests choose to bring a dish that can be served or a dessert. Bottles of wine will always fit the bill, unless it is a dry household. However, those looking for other unique ideas can consider the following gift concepts. 1. Picture frame: A silver or black frame is generally neutral and can be a go-to choice if one is not certain of the style. 2. Candles: a decorative set of candleholders S A L I S B U R Y

P O S T

and some scented candles can be a wise gift idea. 3. Fine chocolates: Gourmet chocolates will appeal to many people. A hostess can choose to keep the chocolates to herself or serve them to the rest of the guests. 4. Houseplant: A decorative houseplant can brighten a home, will grow year after year and can make for a fond memory of a special occasion. 5. Cookbook and cooking supplies: If the party host is a resident gourmand, treat him to a cookbook from a favorite chef and include some tools of the trade in a gift basket. 6. Handmade gift: Guests may want to offer a gift from their own kitchens. For example, if someone is known for her decadent brownies, a platter of decadent brownies wrapped in cellophane would make a fine hostess gift. H O L I D AY

Inspired Holiday Gifts from the Kitchen J

and Spice…

ust about everyone looks forward to seasonal sweets, from Christmas cookies to jelly doughnuts for Chanukah to benne cakes or sweet potato pie for the final feast of Kwanzaa.

For people who love to cook, great ingredients make exquisite gifts. Think about giving your favorite foodie the gift of flavor in the form of spices, either from the bulk aisle at your favorite upscale grocery chain or a well-loved specialty retailer. Since spices don't stay fresh forever, your culinary connoisseur is sure to appreciate a new assortment. For the more adventurous cooks on your list, consider purchasing a few special spices, such as saffron or vanilla — either the bean or a high-quality extract. Spices can be purchased in small amounts and then presented in decorative airtight jars with handwritten labels. Other options include making and giving your own spice blends and purchasing whole spices, such as nutmeg or allspice, and presenting them along with the appropriate tool for grinding or grating them.

 Put a twist on tradition, consider some alternatives to the holiday cookie sampler, such as decorating greeting-card-sized cookies with personalized messages, filling decorative jars with all of the dry ingredients needed for your favorite cookie recipe or giving the gift of dough — three different kinds of cookie dough rolled into logs, wrapped in wax paper and tied at the ends with festive ribbons.

Sugar…

& everything nice Themed baskets of food will generate big smiles from everyone on your holiday list.

 Dipping store-bought confections such as peppermint sticks, candy canes, candied orange peel, shortbread cookies, or even fresh figs in good-quality chocolate (a mix of dark, milk and white chocolate is even better!) will transform these everyday items into holiday-worthy gifts.

 Breakfast basket. Start with homemade pancake and waffle mix and a bottle of real maple syrup, or go continental with a batch of freshly baked scones and a jar of lemon curd. For the caffeine lover, two mugs, one filled with a favorite gourmet coffee or tea and the other packed with some homemade pastries or a jar of jam.

 Hot chocolate — especially when it's homemade. Make your own mix with ground chocolate and sugar or package a high-quality store brand in a festively decorated jar, then add some peppermint sticks, chocolate-coated spoons or homemade marshmallows to the mix.

 Pasta basket. A jar of your famous spaghetti sauce, which is surrounded by a package of fresh pasta, a bulb of garlic and a wedge of Parmesan cheese.

 Pizza basket. To a package of homemade pizza dough, add a jar of pizza  Handmade jams, preserves and fruit compotes are always appreciated. Your creation can be accompanied by the recipe, some scones or great toasting bread, or even a decorative serving jam jar.

sauce or pesto made from the basil in your garden, then decorate the basket with a merry mix of cheeses and popular pizza add-ons, such as pepperoni, olives, olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and small packets of spices, such as oregano or red pepper flakes.

 Chocolate bark is a delicious no-bake gift that’s so easy to make you'll wonder why you've waited so long to try it. Recipes are everywhere and you can customize the bark with your recipients’ favorite nuts, dried fruits and other tasty tidbits.

Showcase Holiday Spending Savvy

hile the economy remains tough to predict, much of the world is again approaching the holiday season with a degree of trepidation. Uncertain of what lies ahead for the economy in 2011, would-be holiday shoppers are once again more likely to watch what they spend this holiday season. But even with an economy that appears as difficult to predict as ever, there are steps shoppers can take to ensure their loved ones enjoy the holidays this season — even if those holidays are being enjoyed on stricter budgets.

 DON’T GO BIG. Over the years, holiday shopping has become synonymous with big-ticket items. Great deals on bigticket items like televisions and can’t-miss prices at the auto dealership have contributed to the ‘‘go big’’ approach to holiday shopping. However, shoppers don’t have to shop for big-ticket items to make the holidays a hit. In fact, many times there are great deals to be had on such items immediately following the holidays. So even if the family needs a new television, it might behoove shoppers to wait till the season has come and gone.

 DO A SECRET SANTA with the family. Larger families have long employed the ‘‘Secret Santa’’ model to help keep everyone from spending too much come the holidays. But smaller families can do it just the same. Simply have each member of the family pick one name out of a hat and that’s the only person for whom they need to shop. Set a limit as to what can be spent. With only one person on the holiday list, shoppers can devote more time and effort into finding the right gift, and no one has to worry about the financial stress that often comes with the season.

 START EARLY. Seemingly every family has one member who begins shopping for the holidays early in the year. The earlier shoppers can start their holiday shopping the more choices they’ll have and the more time there will be to shop for deals.

 DO YOUR HOMEWORK. While it can be a hassle to get up on Black Friday and go shop among the masses, it can also be very beneficial for holiday shoppers hoping to save. Before the big day arrives, make a list of what to get friends and family on your list. Then cross-check that list with Black Friday deals. If any items on your list are heavily discounted, the Black Friday bonanza is likely worth it.

Avoiding the biggest crowds is often the goal of many holiday shoppers.

Shoppers who want to avoid crowds as a main priority will want to shop weekday mornings. If it is possible to take off a day in December to set aside for shopping, one should consider it. Just avoid the hours of 11 to 2. People who are at work may spend their lunch hours catching up on shopping. While weekday shopping may not offer the sales that take place on the weekends, the stores will certainly be less crowded. Shoppers who know they will be giving gifts after the Christmas holiday, be it to distant relatives or faraway friends, can take advantage of shopping after December 25. This can

oliday shopping is stressful enough when an adult does it alone. With children factored into the mix, it can turn into an adventure. Unable to dart from store to store and squeeze through milling shoppers, parents must pilot the stroller or shopping cart and battle through. Others must attempt to keep an eye on a youngster flitting through a sea of much-taller people in the mall or store.

big temptations for children and save those for a separate trip. It often helps if a child is allowed to bring a toy, book or other distraction from home. When possible, talk to older children during the shopping experience. Mention how much things cost and how they are being paid for. Kids can learn valuable life lessons about managing finances by mimicking their parents. Allow children to help with some decision-making processes, such as, ‘‘Should we buy

Keep Kids’ Needs in M i n d W h i l e Holiday Shopping Short of having a breakdown or throwing in the towel, what can parents do when they have to shop with children? Be patient and follow a few ideas to minimize the confusion. One of the key things to remember is that children — especially toddlers — have short windows of time of good behavior and patience. While an infant in a stroller may be content to sleep the entire shopping trip away, a boisterous toddler or school-aged child may become anxious when faced with crowds and long hours strapped into a carriage or car seat. Plan for short bursts of shopping so that children will not become overwhelmed or bored by the experience.

While shopping with kids can sometimes be a headache, minor irritations can turn into tragedy quickly if parents do not keep safety in mind when kids are along for the trip. It is very easy to lose track of children in bustling stores. Although it may seem inhumane, kiddie harnesses are effective means to keeping young children close by. Most harnesses are equipped with a plush toy backpack and a plush lead with handle. This gives the children some freedom without having to constantly hold Mommy or Daddy's hand, but not enough slack to run off into the crowd.

Shopping with a tired or hungry child is another way for parents to set themselves up for disaster. Time shopping jaunts for after naps and meals.

Be aware of meal time. Apart from the hassle of waiting on food court lines, dining out with kids in tow also can be expensive. Save time and money by packing lunch in a small cooler, complete with juice boxes and finger foods that children can munch on.

Old Familiar Friend: new option for cash-short shoppers

ayaway, a shopping tool first popularized during the Great Depression, is now available again through many retailers. Shoppers who are making every cent count are turning to the payover-time method of purchase to avoid mounting debt after the holidays.

With layaway, shoppers can pay over time, interestfree and pick up their merchandise when it is paid off. For people looking to avoid a whopping credit card bill or those who simply do not have the cash up-front for holiday purchases, layaway can be the ideal holiday shopping method. Layaway fell out of favor with the many credit options available in the recent past, but current economic conditions have been instrumental in its resurgance. S47902

Thinking Green this

C I

s a m t s

t is the season of giving. So why not give back to the planet in the process? During the holidays, people can make an effort to select environmentally responsible gifts as well as celebrate in green ways.

The green movement has changed the way individuals shop for everything, from clothes to cars. It makes sense that these green sensibilities may carry over into the way people shop for holiday gifts. For those thinking of going green for the holidays, consider these gift ideas.

 Water saving showerhead: Put together a gift basket of spa items for the bathroom, including organic body oils, sea salt scrubs, authentic loofa sponge, and a new showerhead that conserves water usage during every shower.  Rechargeable batteries: Chances are the youngsters will still be requesting electronics this year, including portable handheld video games. Ensure game play is green with rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones.

 Bamboo cutting board: Treat the consummate host or hostess to a bamboo cutting board that can easily double as a cheese and crackers platter for entertaining.  Reusable travel mug: Probably someone on the gift list is a coffee fanatic and must get his or her daily fill of java each day. Disposable foam cups are dangerous to the environment, so a personalized or engraved insulated travel mug can keep coffee warm on the way to work.

 Push mower: Give that handyman or lawn guru a push reel mower that doesn’t spew noxious emissions or make a lot of noise. Mowing the lawn with a manual mower is also a great form of exercise.

 Reusable shopping bag set: Some people are born to shop. They can do it in a green way with a collection of stylish reusable tote bags to carry groceries or the latest fashions.

 Solar powered device charger: Charge phones and other devices with the power of the sun instead of using expensive electricity.

 Gifts that grow: A gift comprised of plant seeds, flower pots, a potted fruit tree or any collection of live plants will be the gift that grows green.

How to Recover from Holiday Credit Card Debt

he holidays can be a joyous time of the year. But shoppers who overspend on credit cards could find that come the next billing cycle, the magic of season's greetings has lost its luster.

Industry analysts call it ‘‘debt hangover.’’ Overindulgence during the holidays can have a steep price come January 1. Although outstanding credit cards bills don't make for the ideal situation once the holidays have come and gone, it is a situation from which a person can recover with due diligence. According to the American Bankers’ Association, the average household carries an $8,000 credit card balance. When a person pays with plastic, it can be difficult to visualize the money being spent. With cash, money physically leaves a shopper’s hand. When the wallet is empty, the money is gone. A credit card does not offer this tangible proof of spending. Therefore, people tend to overspend when using plastic. People who have racked up a high credit card bill will have to take a few steps to get their finances in check. Here’s how to begin.

Easy Ways to Extend Your Holiday Dollars While overspending might be a holiday tradition in many families, it’s no doubt the most costly as well. Credit cards often allow shoppers to overspend on holiday shopping, making January a cringe-worthy month for shoppers who put too much on plastic during the holidays and get the bills the next month. It’s always best to avoid overspending, but there are ways shoppers can extend their budget during the holiday seasons.

Gift Box Items can include:

1. Stop using the credit card or cards. Additional charges placed on the card will only cause balances to rise and a person to accrue even higher finance charges. 2. Pay the card with the highest interest rate first. 3. Pay more than just the minimum balance on the card. If possible, pay much more than the minimum payment so that the interest isn’t the only thing being paid off. 4. Try to negotiate better terms with the credit card company to see if an interest rate can be reduced. 5. Consider consolidating multiple cards to one new card with a low introductory rate or a nointerest rate. Then pay down, pay down, pay down. 6. Return unused items to the store. Don’t procrastinate, especially if it means having a credit card balance reduced. 7. Track progress so that it will provide motivation to continue paying down the debt. 8. Learn from mistakes by starting to save for the next holiday season even earlier to reduce dependence on credit cards.

Set a Plan of Attack for Black Friday Shopping

mean it’s wise to blow the entire budget on this day alone. Save months or weeks in advance to be prepared for shopping this day. Set a limit on what is to be spent — and head home after the money is gone.

lack Friday is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Every year thousands of shoppers flock to area malls and shopping centers in the wee hours of the morning attempting to get the best deals on their holiday gifts. Because shopping with the crowds and sales can be confusing, setting a ‘‘Black Friday’’ shopping strategy can add some organization to the chaos.

 Get rest. Set an early schedule for Thanksgiving revelry so that it’s possible to head home early enough to rest. Those who plan to do Black Friday shopping should head to bed early enough, considering many sales begin at 4 a.m.

Visions of Black Friday shopping may call to mind frenzied shoppers beating down the doors of area stores to get heavily reduced prices at the register. This day of bargain basement deals certainly will bring out scores of people, but there is a way to manage the mayhem.

 Eat a hearty breakfast. Shoppers should be sure to eat breakfast so they’ll have enough energy to survive the morning shopping.

 Make a shopping list. Think ahead of time about what to look for. Knowing what will be bought can help shoppers determine which stores to visit. It helps to only choose one or more stores at which to shop instead of traveling all over and getting caught in traffic.

 Pack a lunch or snack. Chances are fast food restaurants and food courts will be mobbed on Black Friday. Avoid some of the crowds by packing food in a bag and bringing it along. It will save time and money. Why not make a sandwich of that leftover turkey?

 Preview ads a week in advance. Many stores will start advertising their Black Friday hours and some sneak peaks at sales a week or more in advance. There could also be some ‘‘spoiler’’ Web sites that leak information about Black Friday sales. Shoppers can know what’s available and plan their shopping accordingly. Also, some stores have ‘‘rules’’ to follow, such as wristband dispersal or a numbering system, for shoppers to avoid crowds rushing the doors.

 Wear comfortable clothing. Crowded stores tend to be hot and chaotic. Dress in layers so that outer layers can be removed. Try to leave bulky coats at home because they can be a nuisance while shopping. Shoppers should also wear very comfortable shoes for long hours of walking.

 Start saving early. While deals are to be realized on Black Friday, that doesn’t

 Be sure to know stores’ return policies. Even the best-laid plans may result in one or two gifts that need to be returned. It pays to know what stores will take back discounted items bought during Black Friday.
