Decked out in LED lights, Santa Claus flew solo down the stadium seats at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Monday night. When asked where Rudolph and the other reindeer were, Santa replied, “This is a very spectacular chance I had to do this, so I thought I’d just leave them at home.” With a 2.5 mile display containing more than a million LED lights, spectacular is what Mike Miller, president of Miller-Davis Studios in Salisbury, was shooting for with Carolina Christmas. “We wanted to be over-thetop, so that’s what we did,” Miller said. “It’s the largest LED light show set to music.” Miller-Davis has teamed up with Charlotte Motor Speedway to create the holiday attraction in Concord, which opened to the public Monday evening. “It’s great to finally see this day arrive,” Miller said. “After hundreds of hours of planning, it’s a relief.... Everyone at the speedway was wonderful to work with.” In the opening ceremony, Santa stood with children representing Speedway Children’s Charities to connect two ends of a giant red plug and begin the light show. For 25 minutes, colorful lights in the stands dance in rhythm to eight holiday songs, taking the shapes of trees, presents, snowflakes and starbursts. Drivers can tune in to 91.1 FM to hear the music as they pass by. But the musical lights are only one part of the display. The vehicle tour also will take visitors through several themed areas — The Night Before Christmas, Toyland, Candyland, Rudolph’s Flight School, Victorian Village, Fairy Tale Lane and Lowe’s Patriotic Alley. Carolina Christmas is open from 6-10 p.m. nightly through Jan. 2, 2011. Tickets cost $20 per vehicle, and $35 for a Fast

Rowan-Salisbury schools likely will follow the state’s lead and drop gateways that required students in some grades to pass both reading and math end-of-grade tests to move to the next grade. The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education approved a first reading of revised standards Monday. The decision is consistant with the State Board of Education’s recent elimination of the gateways, which had required third-, fifth- and eighth-graders to pass the tests before they could move on. High school students have been required to pass end-of-course tests in algebra I, biology, civics and economics, English I and U.S. history before graduating. That requirement is also on the way out. The new standards would be effective at the start of the next school year, if approved during the second reading in December. “I can’t imagine why we could change in the middle of the year,” school board member Bryce Beard said. The state’s decision went into effect immediately, but school officials voiced concern about changing accountability standards right now. Kathy McDuffie, director of secondary education, said some high school students are wrapping up required core classes this semester, while others are set to finish in the spring. “Having two different sets of guidelines would be very confusing for parents, students and staff,” she said. Colby Cochran, director of assessments and accountability, said keeping the current standards in place until the end of the school year will have little effect on students. “Most seniors have already met the standards because they have been working toward them,” he said. “But going forward it will make a difference.” Cochran said the tests have never been the only variable considered in promotion or retention. “Locally, we’ve always had more factors that have gone into considering promotion decisions and graduation requirements beyond the state,” he said. Those factors include classroom performance, age and size, attendance, performance on state and local tests, total number of years enrolled in a grade span and potential success at the next grade level. Cochran emphasized the elimination of the gateways would not mean students will no longer be tested. “End-of-grade and end-of- course testing are not going away,” he said. The board is expected to make a final decision regarding accountability standards during its next meeting. School officials will be meeting with principals to provide a recommendation at that time. The Kannapolis City Board of Education also voted in favor of a first reading to follow suit with the state’s decision earlier this month. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
In other business Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education members also: • Voted to extend the lease for the Price of Freedom Museum housed at the old Patterson School on Reaver Road to 2025. The original lease ended in 2015, but the operators requested an extension due to the amount of money being put into the museum. • Viewed a video about the importance of the Pledge of Allegiance. Two videos, one for elementary students and another for middle and high schools, will be available on the school system’s website for the used for instructional purposes. Students are invited to participate in a video contest. Entries can be no longer than four minutes long and are due by Dec. 10. Students are asked to assume a foreign exchange student has come to our system and they are tasked with explaining our country’s Pledge of Allegiance via video. • School officials reported that the district’s Race to the Top application is complete.

A Salisbury man already in jail on charges from an Oct. 8 incident now faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and robbery with a deadly weapon, charges that are related to the same October incident. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office charged Jesse Mavrick Minton, 27, of 519 Correll Loop Road, who was given an additional $150,000 secured bond. Authorities said the original charges from Nov. 7 — discharging a MINTON firearm into occupied property, possession of a firearm by a felon and communicating threats — came after a monthlong investigation of the Oct. 8 incident. Authorities said Minton and William Chad Sinclair got into a fight Oct. 8 at the 100
block of Ted Lane, where Minton allegedly assaulted Sinclair. Also present was Amanda Hipple, who tried to intervene during the fighting. Hipple and Sinclair were backing out of the driveway when Minton fired shots at her car. She drove to her East Bank Street home and called police. Sinclair also noticed that during the Oct. 8 fight, cash, a cell phone, watch and necklace had been taken by Minton, authorities said. Minton was charged Nov. 7 with discharging a firearm into occupied property, possession of a firearm by a felon and communicating threats. Minton received the additional charges Sunday, increasing his bond to $244,500. He is in the Rowan County jail. Authorities said Minton has been in trouble before. The N.C. Department of Corrections lists Minton as being convicted of breaking and entering into vehicles, multiple DWIs, larcenies and drug possession.

Kannapolis approves plans for financing BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
IBERTY — Paul Hill, silver-haired and tall, cuts a handsome figure on stage, yet he has always been more collaborator than headliner. That was him playing guitar for country, gospel and bluegrass groups such as the Cross Crowd, Blue Grass Ramblers, Black Mountain Boys and Silver Bells. He played sometimes with MARK Congressman Bill WINEKA Hefner in Hefner’s gospel-singing days. Hill appeared as part of groups on the Arthur Smith television program, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s PTL shows and at a couple of Doc Watson’s Merlefests. He joined many musicians in the studio as they cut CDs together — from Nashville to his own studio at home. It’s hard to count how often he and his Martin guitar have played in area nursing homes and churches. When Hill has gained the spotlight individually, it has come at regional fiddlers conventions, bluegrass festivals and the N.C. State Fair. A tall cabinet with glass doors in his dining room is filled with all the ribbons, medals and trophies. On three different occasions — 1983, 1995 and 2009 — Hill has won the coveted Bascom Lamar Lunsford Trophy for his guitar playing at the State Fair. He’s just as proud of a first-place ribbon he won in 1963 at the Union Grove Fiddlers Convention. But Hill’s biggest thrill as a
KANNAPOLIS — The Kannapolis City Council entered the next phase in its plan to finance $35 million in infrastructure improvements and other projects with a vote last night approving the sale of limited obligation bonds, also known as revenue bonds. The unanimous vote of all six council members present approved an interlocal agreement with Cabarrus County to use tax revenues from a downtown development district to repay the financing over 17 years. Council member Darrell Hinnant was not at Monday’s meeting. The plan approved Monday is slightly different from the one debated in recent weeks. Instead of Certificates of Participation, commonly called COPS, City Manager Mike Legg said that discussions in recent days with the city’s financial advisors determined that revenue bonds would yield a better interest rate. Legg characterized the differences between the two financing methods as minor. In each case, Cabarrus County be-

The week of intense rehearsals culminated with a patriotic variety show at the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center, where Hill performed his acoustic guitar rendition of “Freight Train.” He was on and off the stage in four different costume changes as part of the show.

Rezoning request for Webb market advances BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
Plans for a new structure on the Webb Road Flea Market property took a step forward Monday. Members of the Rowan County Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of a rezoning that allows rebuilding the burned-out flea market in a different configuration. Gary Reader of Compass Development Group in Matthews, which has been working with the property owners, told the planning board they had been looking at flea markets and believed a less labyrinth-like layout would be more effective. He did not share any drawings or details about the proposed development. Once the county approves the rezoning, he said, Compass Development can start the plan. “There’s nothing cheap about

Lighting of the Fall Fires draws festive crowd Police seek 3 more in break-ins For the Salisbury Post
The 10th annual Lighting of the Fall Fires was held last night in Historic Gold Hill Village. Traditionally held the Monday before Thanksgiving, the event is dedicated to the hard work of John Yeltyn, who has done a good deal of the restoration in the village. The warm weather, much more cooperative than in previous years, helped fill the village with hundreds of visitors. The evening started in Miner’s Hall with a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres sponsored by Dennis Vineyards of Albemarle.

EAST SPENCER — The East Spencer Police Department says investigators have ended a rash of break-ins in the community. Chief Floyd Baldo named three additional suspects Monday, and warrants have been drawn for their arrest. The suspects know they have been identified, and are possibly in Charlotte, Baldo said. Police are looking for: • Tyquinn “Ty” Marquis Campbell, 21, of 109 Long Ferry Road, Apt. A, Spencer; two counts of breaking and entering, two counts of larceny after breaking and entering, safecracking, felony possession of stolen property, injury to real property and conspiracy. • Shanta “Devil” Maurice Lomax,
32, of 806 Myrtle Ave., Lexington; conspiracy to breaking and entering and larceny. • Jasmine Charmaine Johnson, 21, of 205 Harrell St., Salisbury; conspiracy to breaking and entering and larceny. Police began receiving calls of break-ins at the first of November. Some of the 20 homes that were broken into belonged to East Spencer residents with long histories of community involvement. The thieves usually broke in through the kitchen or an unlocked window toward the back of the home during the day. Baldo said the intruders “ransacked” the homes, breaking open safes, tearing through the homes, and even damaging refriger-

RALEIGH — A draft master plan for Chimney Rock State Park will be presented online for public review starting Nov. 29, and public comments on the plan will be accepted through Dec. 13, according to the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. Comments will be considered for the final master plan expected to be completed in early 2011. A master plan for a state park is essentially a blueprint for long-term development of facilities and recreation opportunities and a guide for protection of natural resources. Three initial design alternatives were publicly presented earlier this year by Greenways Inc., a Durhambased environmental planning and landscape architecture firm responsible for completing the master plan. The alternatives differed primarily in the extent of development proposed. The N.C. General Assembly authorized Chimney Rock State Park in 2005. The draft master plan can be viewed at www.greenways.com/chimneyrock starting Nov. 29. Written comments may be submitted by using an online comment sheet or by mail. Mail comments to: State Parks Planner, N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation, 1615 MSC, Raleigh, NC 27699-1615.
FIRES FROM 3a faces. Harrison said she hasn’t stopped working for the last two weeks, being the head of the committee that did all of the decorating kept her very busy. Harrison has been at the Lighting of the Fall Fires since the first one. “Our goal is to raise funds to save more buildings,” Harrison said. The village now has 13 shops that are open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sandy Kirk and her granddaughter, Karlie Griffin of New London, come every year for the Lighting of the Fall Fires. Kirk’s father, James, was with them. He was born just steps away from the bustling village in the Jenkins House. The house, which James Kirk dates to 1845, was also the birthplace of James’ mother, Laura Rouse Jenkins. The family is pleased with the revitalization of the area and looking forward to additional improvements in the future. Gold Hill was once one of the busiest mining villages in North Carolina, that was until the gold began to trickle out and the residents soon had no choice but to do the same. Following decades of decline, Gold Hill became a virtual ghost town with time and weather taking their toll on the buildings that remained. That was until the 1980s, when brothers Bob and Darius Hedrick decided to return the village to its former glory. The Hedrick brothers first project was the restoration of the E.H. Montgomery General store. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 had other plans for the building. Undaunted, the brothers went back and fixed the building again. They continued their work on the buildings, a few of which are original to the village, while others were moved into the area. Overwhelmed at one point, the Hedricks hired John Yeltyn, a carpenter and handyman, to assist in the restoration efforts. After seeing the phenomenal work Yeltyn was doing, dozens of people gathered together on the Monday before Thanksgiving and lit a fire in Yeltyn’s honor in the Arbor. Yeltyn, now 91, was at Monday’s lighting to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event. The Lighting of the Fall Fire has become an annual tradition that raises money for the ongoing restoration of the village. It is organized by the Gold Hill Historic Preservation Society and is limited to 500 guests. It sells out each year. Cynthia Hooper lives in Salisbury.

the pieces just all fell into place. “It was pretty easy to solve from there.” Baldo said two of the suspects have admitted to the crimes. The suspects also told him most of the stolen property taken was gone with “no way to get it back,” he said. Some jewelry and currencies were recovered, though, and returned to the owners. Baldo said the break-in ring was the first of its kind he’s seen in his time with the East Spencer Police Department, and believes the residents of the town are “relieved.” “I think they’re relieved because the breaking and enterings aren’t happening like they were,” he said. “We still get a breaking and entering here and there, but they’re not targeting the elderly. They are getting metal and things of value from vacant houses or apartment complexes.” And the reason for the breaking and enterings, Baldo said, was because Gwyn couldn’t make her rent payment. Past arrests include: Reginald “Ghost” Petion, Carlito “Galla” Garcia, Charles “Bam” Johnson, and Treasure Rishaye Gwyn. Petion and Garcia are originally from New York, Jasmine Johnson and her brother, Charles, are originally from Georgia, and Campbell and Gwyn are from Rowan County.

FROM 3a ators. “They were terrorizing the town,” Baldo said. And then police got a break. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department arrested Carlito “Galla” Garcia, 18, and Reginald “Ghost” Petion, 22, who were both suspects in the East Spencer break-ins. Baldo said the two were caught breaking into the home of an senior couple in Charlotte. A search of the suspects’ apartments led to the arrest of Charles Emmanuel “Bam” Johnson, 23, and his girlfriend, Treasure Rishaye Gwyn, 24. Baldo said police found stolen goods in the couple’s apartment on Grant Street. East Spencer police identified additional suspects in the break-in ring with the help of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. “Their arrest helped break this case,” Baldo said of the initial arrest of Petion and Garcia, who also helped identify Campbell, Lomax and Jasmine Johnson Sunday. “They put a face to who we were looking for,” the chief said. Baldo also credits the residents of East Spencer for helping end the break-ins. “One of the main keys that helped us solve this were the citizens keeping an eye out and keeping me informed,” he said. “The more we dug and started asking questions, then
It took a lifetime of playing, but Hill found his largest audience there in Wisconsin — a trip he’ll never forget. “I wish I could convey to you the spirit we felt,” says Hill’s wife, Lena, who also received a certificate of appreciation for the help she provided to veterans at the festival. Paul Hill describes the experience as “a first-class operation,” from the Fort McCoy cadets who carried their bags to the tour of the Mississippi River on the La Crosse Queen paddleboat. Throughout the week the Hills dined on good food, met great people and, for Paul, “practiced, practiced, practiced.” “We didn’t have any time off till Thursday,” he adds. “We practiced some nights till 10 o’clock.” The age of the performers ranged from 26 to 86. When he played “Freight Train” in the Sunday finale, Kirsten Meyer of Tomah, Wisc., accompanied him on the bass.
Early start Hill’s finger-picking guitar style goes back to childhood. He was born on St, Matthew’s Church Road, where he now lives, and was the youngest of five children. His father, Joe, was a cotton farmer who also worked for a saw mill. Paul was in the first class to attend Morgan School and graduated from Rockwell High in 1948. When he was 10, Paul started picking the banjo, and two years later his oldest brother introduced him to the guitar. That same year, 1942, the brother was killed in an automobile accident and the guitar passed to Paul, who essentially taught himself to play. He often practiced while waiting for the school bus. “You have to be devoted to something like that to learn it,” he says. When he wasn’t picking cotton on the family farm, Hill kept practicing. He played at Saturday night corn shuckings, foot-stomping gatherings on the porch and in high school, encouraged by a teacher from Tennessee who liked to sing along. Hill concentrated mostly on gospel and country songs. “At the Cross” was the first song he learned to play. Another favorite was “Southern Moon.” “You don’t hear it now,” he says. With his share of cotton money in 1948, Hill bought a Gibson guitar for $85. He played it until 1968 (when he traded it for his first Martin), and those years included his hitch in the U.S. Army. Hill was part of the 2nd Armored Division occupying Germany in the early 1950s. When he returned home, Hill worked for Brown Supply in Granite Quarry in the plumbing SAS NEW BALANCE

this,” Reader said. “We’re going to do it according to your code and your regulations.” A new layout requires the 31.72 tract to meet updated zoning codes. Property zoned 85-ED-4, as the flea-market property is, must have access to a thoroughfare or interstate frontage road. The Webb Road Flea Market was only accessible by the smaller Leach Road. With board members saying government needs to get out of the way of business development, the Planning Board gave the nod to CBI zoning — Commercial, Business, Industrial. This allows for a wide range of commercial, business and light industrial uses. Three small, landlocked parcels owned by the N.C. Department of Transportation would also be rezoned to CBI. The rezoning now goes to the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, which will have to set a public hearing on the rezoning, probably in January, said Ed Muire, director of planning and development for the county. Besides Reader, the only other person to speak at the courtesy hearing on the rezoning was former vendor Robert Lee of Salisbury. He asked about water and sewer service to the site, specifically requesting “water pressure to fight fire.” Senior Planner Shane Stewart later said sewer service is available in the vicinity but not water. Tapping the nearest water line would require crossing U.S. 29, railroad tracks and Interstate 85. Stewart said he was not an expert, but he didn’t believe anything could have stopped the fire. Since fire destroyed most of the buildings on Sept. 3, vendors have been selling wares in an open-air market on the property. Several vendors attended the Monday night meeting, as did the owners of the property — Catherine and Joey Popp of Charlotte and Libby and Chris Stephens of Morganton. In other business, the board unanimously approved changes to a county ordinance regarding road names, signs and address display. The Planning Division of the county’s Planning and Development Department is “address program administrator” and is authorized to determine the need for road name changes. County commissioners still have the final say. Planning Board members tinkered with the document, allowing more time for action after a person is notified that he or she is out of compliance, and making fines less specific by inserting “up to” in front of $200, for example.

The Coldstone Creamery store was robbed Saturday while customers were inside the business, the Salisbury Police Department said. According to police, a female employee cleaning in the back room heard a knock at the back entrance to the restaurant in the Innes Street Market shortly after 9:30 p.m. She asked who was at the door and a man said he was the store manager and used the manager’s name. The woman opened the door. A man with a red bandana over his face grabbed the employee and put a knife to her throat. She reported to police that the man said he would cut her throat if she didn’t stop screaming. Another man entered, wearing a gray mask, and ran to the front of the store where five customers in line at the counter and another female employee was at the register. Police said the first robber shoved the clerk out of the way and took money. The five customers fled and at least one called 911 to report the robbery.
Both robbers left by the back door. The robber with the red bandana was described as a small-framed black male who was about 5 feet 6 inches tall. The employee could not give police a better description the robber held her head down. The second robber was wearing a gray ski mask, and a white T-shirt over a gray Tshirt. He was described as a black male being 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall. No injuries were reported. Police are reviewing surveillance video of the store, and a video or images from the video could be released. A similar situation happened July 10 when a robber entered through the back door of a store while employees were cleaning. The man grabbed the clerk and dragged her to the cash register, where she opened it for the robber. No weapon was used in the July robbery. Police ask that anyone with information call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-6385333 or Crime Stoppers at 1866-639-5245. Callers can remain anonymous. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

gins paying up to half of its property tax revenues from the downtown district surrounding the N.C. Research Campus toward debt service in 2013. In return for that participation, the city will spend up to $13.5 million to build a new facility for the Cabarrus Health Alliance – an agency ordinarily funded by the county. No limitations were placed on where that building would be located, reflecting the city’s desire to keep the health department in Kannapolis near the Research Campus. Cabarrus County commissioners had previously debated moving the Cabarrus Health Alliance to the former county fairgrounds, a move that Legg had called “a nonstarter” in his address to that board last week. The city will own the new Cabarrus Health Alliance facility and hold it as collateral until the debt is paid off. According to the agreement approved last night, Wells Fargo will underwrite the bonds. Legg said that Bank of America might serve as co-underwriter, if needed. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be available by mid-December. The transaction will officially close Dec. 30. That leaves a tight timeframe to accept bids for the construction of the Cabarrus Health Alliance which expire at the end of the year. But Legg expressed confidence that this deadline would be met. “Folks, this has been a long hard struggle,” Mayor Bob Misenheimer told the council and the audience. Proposals to finance $168.4 million fell by the wayside following delays in selling tax-increment financing bonds, and the economic downturn prevented a smaller TIF issuance in recent months. The city’s bond counsel, Brent Jeffcoat of McGuire Woods LLP, said that the transaction is very low-risk because there’s already enough development at the Research Campus to finance repayment of the debt through taxes. Council member Roger Haas also noted that, once fees, the Cabarrus Health Alliance and repayment for projects already paid for by Castle & Cooke are put aside, only about $8 million remains to be used for new projects. "I hope sometime in the near future we can provide some additional money so we can move forward” with more projects on the list identified as long ago as 2006, Haas said. The council also voted unanimously to approve plans to begin curbside recycling as part of the city’s new contract with Waste Management, Inc. Starting July 1, 2011, the city will pick up recycling every other week on the same day as regular weekly garbage collection. But while garbage collection is financed through taxes, a monthly user fee of $3.20 will be charged for recycling to cover the costs of new bins and the additional services required. Legg said that savings would come to the city through reduced amounts of trash dumped in the landfill. Charlotte-based Sonoco Recycling will purchase the recycled materials, paying the city $10 per ton to further offset costs. About 60 parents, teachers and students from Kannapolis City Schools came to the council meeting to hear the vote on recycling. Schools have taken a lead in educating students about recycling programs, as have members of the city’s Environmental Stewardship Commission. Misenheimer noted that Kannapolis had a grant-funded recycling program in the past, and that he was pleased to see the service returning to the city. Legg agreed. "We hope that we have 50, 60, 70 percent participation rates and our landfill costs will continue to go down,” he said. The unanimous vote to approve the recycling program was met with cheers and applause. Council members also heard comments on the first reading of a proposed “rental registration” ordinance. If approved, the ordinance
year. During that time, the property could not be rented out. Kannapolis Planning Director Ben Warren said the plan is to introduce this legislation into a pilot neighborhood to test its impact. Warren said that areas where most properties are rentals tend to have higher crime and more violations of city codes. "The primary focus of the ordinance is to eliminate crime in the neighborhood,” Warren said. When the floor was opened for public comments later in the evening, a number of residents spoke on issues affecting their homes off Walter Street, including suspected drug sales and nuisance behavior. Legg said that this legislation could help combat those

would require landlords to obtain a rental permit for each property they own. As part of the permitting process, contact information for both landlords and tenants would be kept on file for use by city personnel and emergency services. And each rental would be subject to an exterior inspection, including photographs of the property. The ordinance establishes criteria to ensure that all rental properties meet city codes. A $10 per property fee would be charged to pay for the administrative costs of issuing the rental permits. Repeated failure to comply with city codes, or repeated incidences of criminal activity at a particular location, could result in revocation of the owner’s permit for up to a

LIGHTS FROM 1a start working,” Medlin said. The couple brought their 9-year-old daughter, Madison, and their 2-year-old son, Miles. “I think it’s really cool,” Madison said. “I like all the lights. I liked Rudolph jumping the best.” She said she was looking forward to trying out the Rudolph’s Rides. “It’s pretty awesome,” Bridger said. “We’re excited about this being in the area. I think this is going to draw a lot of people around here.” Once visitors go through the light show, they can stop at the Christmas village to see several holiday attractions and vendors. The temperature wasn’t exactly frosty Monday night at nearly 60 degrees, but visitors could still skate on a synthetic ice rink for $6 — plus a $2 rental fee for skates. Sweet smells filled the air from nearby shops selling hot chocolate and other treats. Some took advantage of the fire pits to roast marshmallows as the Opera Carolina Chorus of Charlotte sang carols nearby. Others made their way over to Bethlehem Village, where a two-story entrance is guarded by Roman soldiers. Inside, old-time shops lead the way to a live nativity scene. Monday’s scene was populated with members of Memorial Baptist Church. Pastor Tim McQueen said church members will portray Mary, Joseph, shepherds and wise men surrounding the

In mid-January, Judy Isenhour, will hang the “Closed” sign on the door of Pleasant Papers one last time. After 25 years, Isenhour plans to retire and close her gift and stationary store at 1806 W. Innes St. Then, she said, she will take some time to enjoy herself and her family. Isenhour said she’s looking forward to playing a bit of golf and tending her orchids. And she also wants to spend more time with her husband John. Isenhour, who grew up in the foothills near Forest City, and John, a native of Salisbury, were married in 1979. “He has put up with a lot over the years,” Judy said, “and he has been really, really supportive.” John built her a greenhouse for her orchids and she is looking forward to spending time, as she put it, playing in the dirt. It won’t be the first time Isenhour has time on her hands. Years ago, after retiring from her first career as a computer programmer, Isenhour found that she did all the things she wanted to do within the first year of retirement and decided to purchase a small local bookstore not far from her current location. At the time, she had planned to be in the retail business no more than 10 years. Shortly after buying Book Masters, though, the book industry took a bad turn and Isenhour began looking for other ways to make money. When Chris Whitten’s Copeland Collection, a specialty gift shop, closed in 1987, Isenhour bought the stationary department. She added a little bit at a time and before long had a full-blown stationary wedding department. The store currently carries thousands of stationary options in stock and does most of the printing in house as well. The special order business, wedding and party invitations, stationary and Holiday cards will continue as usual. In 1992, Pleasant Papers opened a location in Blowing Rock and in 1998 Isenhour purchased a gift shop in Concord and added a stationary department there as well. It also went by the name Pleasant Papers. The three stores at one time employed as many as 17 people. In 2007, Isenhour sold the Blowing Rock location, and she closed the Concord store about a year ago. Two longtime employees work at the current location. Ashley Sorrell has been with the company eight years and does all of the decorating and displays throughout the store. Barbara McDuffie has worked with Isenhour the past five years and said she is going to miss the fun they have together at work. Neither is sure what she will do after the store closes in January, but both say they will all miss each other a great deal. The shop has also had a lot of part-time help over the years, hiring mainly local high school girls, some of whom have gone on to become school teachers, a college professor, a doctor and an attorney. “I will miss the people the most, my customers. I will miss seeing them. I love my customers,” Isenhour said. “It has been a real treat and I am going to miss it.” She has many memories and stories of repeat customers she has met over the years. She remembered a couple who many years ago came in and had wedding invitations made, then they printed the birth announcements for their children. A couple years later, the husband died and Pleasant Papers did the sympathy notes. Several years later, the woman remarried and Isenhour did the wedding invitations. When the couple had a child together, she did the announcement for that as well. “People become like family over the years.” Isenhour

said. “We have great customers; they have all been very supportive.” Her only regret, she said, is that she didn’t write a book about all her experiences and all the wonderful people she has met. There was no shortage of shoppers recently taking advantage of the deals Isenhour is offering as she prepares to retire. Robin Bernhardt, who stopped in looking for a birthday gift, said she was disappointed to hear the store would close. Katherine Demary was also unaware of Isenhour’s plans. “I am sad to hear that. There aren’t enough gift shops in town,” she said. “I have done most of my Christmas shopping here. I am sure going to miss this store.” Cynthia Hooper lives in Salisbury.

RALEIGH (AP) — A South Carolina company that cleans air conditioning ducts has entered a settlement agreement with North Carolina’s attorney general. Attorney General Roy Cooper has agreed to not bring an unfair trade practices complaint against Southeastern Air of Columbia, S.C., as long as the company pays back $22,000 in refunds. Southeastern Air also must let customers know about their three-day right to cancel their contracts before the work begins. Cooper says the company advertised a $76 duct cleaning, but then switched to cleanings that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars. He says Southeastern Air also pressured homeowners to pay them and start work without giving them time to reconsider. Both sides signed an agreement that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

HICKORY (AP) — A shrine remembering a disabled girl found dead in North Carolina has been removed a week after police said they’re investigating the death as a homicide. Multiple media organizations reported the toys, balloons and signs left at the rented home in Hickory where Zahra Baker, 10, lived were removed this past weekend. A sign now asks people to take donated toys to the police station. Vandals last week broke some of the home’s windows and signs expressed someone’s anger toward the girl’s father Adam Baker and her stepmother, Elisa. The Hickory Daily Record reported Monday the owner told visitors he is considering bulldozing the house because police caused about $30,000 in damage by removing sections of the walls while searching for evidence.

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH (AP) — Officials in North Topsail Beach are looking into the intentional killing of at least 25 pelicans. The town said in a news release Monday that wildlife officials examining the birds believe they were killed on purpose. Toni O’Neil is the director of the nearby Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary.

O’Neil says she’s familiar with shark attacks and fishing line injuries, but that these deaths are something different. Similar attacks on pelicans happened nearby in 2008 and 2009. Pelicans are a protected species. Anyone caught harming them can be prosecuted.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Monday that Jackie Warner said she would discuss the board’s decision with her lawyer. She has previously said she may take her case to the State Board of Elections. Warner lost her race to Democratic state Rep. Rick Glazier by 46 votes. She argued that a new election was needed because of voting irregularities and problems with touch-screen voting machines. The vote to reject Warner’s claim came from both a Republican and Democratic board member. A third Democratic board member was absent from the hearing.

RALEIGH (AP) — A person with knowledge of an investigation into the campaign finances of former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley says he is expected to enter a plea deal today in state court. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on the condition of anonymity because the deal still must be approved by a judge. The hearing scheduled for noon in Wake County Superior Court follows a yearlong probe into Easley’s campaign finances. Prosecutors started reviewing whether campaign finance laws were violated after Easley’s campaign was fined $100,000 by the State Board of Elections in October 2009 for failing to report dozens of private campaign flights. Easley is a Democrat who served from 2001 to 2009.
putting its Winston-Salem manufacturing plant into mothballs. The Winston-Salem Journal reports the company has closed its production line after a six-year run that failed to reach the economic promises floated at the beginning. Dell spokesman David Frink says the 750,000square-foot plant is being shut down and cleaned up. The computer assembly plant was offered more than $300 million in incentives to choose the North Carolina site in 2004. Most state incentives were never paid, and Dell repaid local governments $26 million in upfront incentives. The plant’s work force reached a peak of 1,400 employees. It was down to about 900 workers by the time Dell announced its closing plans last year.

THE FOX AND HOUNDS
Give a gift that will last for a lifetime BY WHIT GIBBONS Savannah River Ecology Lab
Christie snyder/HigHTiMepHoToS.CoM
Riders head out for the opening hunt of the 2010 season in Davie County.
Yadkin Valley club season opener a formal affair he Yadkin Valley Hounds was organized in 1975 in the Rowan County community of Cleveland to hunt foxes and coyotes with a pack of English and crossbred foxhounds. Charter members Cameron Beard Hall of Mt. Ulla and Sally Beard Smith of Salisbury attended the club’s first opening hunt a year later and remain active staff members today. Since 1979, Hall has been Master of Foxhounds (MFH,) the same year Smith was named Honorary Whipper-in. The opening hunt, which marks the official beginning of the season, was held this year on Oct. 30 in Davie County. This formal affair brings out all the scarlet coats for staff and gentlemen members, black coats for ladies. Boots and buttons are polished, bridles shine and manes are braided. The opening hunt begins with the blessing of the hounds, a traditional service that offers prayers for the well-being of the hounds, horses, fox, riders and landowners during the hunt season. Huntsman Kim Sigmon of Advance and her staff of Whippers-in lead the foxhounds and riders to a big, green field for the blessing. Afterwards, riders follow the huntsman and hounds through the woods and fields chasing the fox. The hunt ends when the fox “goes to ground” in his den or climbs a tree. He is always left to hunt another day. YVH has registered hunt country with the Masters of Foxhounds Association in the four-county area of Rowan, Davie, Iredell and Yadkin. Members hunt twice a week from September to March. For more information, visit www.yadkinvalleyhounds.com.

They were tied with Mike Sides from Rockwell and Kenny Seagle from Salisbury going into the tournament. But Sink and Whicker weighed in bass of 18.96 pounds and the big
fish of the day, which weighed 6.14 pounds. Ronnie Smith and Randy Weddington of Salisbury finished second with 17.2 pounds, followed by the teams of Ben and Adam Van-
hoy from Rockwell with 16.74 pounds; Mike Sides from Rockwell and Kenny Seagle from Salisbury; and Jon Morgan from Rockwell and Rodney Eller from Salisbury.
A publisher of wildlife books recently said, “We are coming into the season when people like to donate money for tax deductions. You write a check to the World Wildlife Fund or Conservation International, and what happens to the money? Beats me. But when someone buys a book about nature for their local public or school library we know what happens: Kids learn. Adults, too.” Actually, monetary contributions to the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International and other conservation organizations such as the Audubon Society and the Nature Conservancy are put to good use. And I feel certain each organization can tell you which environmental causes your money helps support. Nonetheless, the donate-a-wildlife-book idea has merit, especially for people who cannot afford more than a small investment in a worthwhile environmental cause. If your focus is on children, select books you think will enhance environmental education and give them to the public school of your choice. To decide what books to give, go to a local bookstore and check out the nature, wildlife, and science sections. Identify age-appropriate books about wildlife and the environment that you think local schools should have in their libraries. For example, high school students should have access to classics like Aldo Leopold’s “Sand County Almanac” and “Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit” by Al Gore. Younger students will enjoy books on living plants and animals, on dinosaurs, and on the physical environment such as the ocean, weather and volcanoes. If you want to include adults as well as children in your environmental education project, donate books to your public library. A comprehensive list of publishers or book titles would constitute a book in itself, but a few suggestions come immediately to mind. Johns Hopkins University Press publishes a variety of nature and wildlife books. “Owls of the United States and Canada: A Complete Guide to Their Biology and Behavior” and “Sea Turtles: A Complete Guide to Their Biology, Behavior, and Conservation” have facts and photographs that will captivate children and adults. Either would be an outstanding choice for a school or public library. Books about regional flora and fauna also make good choices. The University of Georgia Press is noted for its Wormsloe Foundation Nature Books, including “Trees of the Southeastern United States,” “Weeds of the South” and “Dragonflies and Damselflies of Georgia and the Southeast.” All these books should be in every public library in the Southeast. The Press’s “Snakes of the Southeast,” which won the National Outdoor Book Award, and the four others in the reptile and amphibian series (about turtles, frogs and toads, lizards and crocodilians, and salamanders) are suitable for K-12 school libraries and public libraries. State-oriented nature books are excellent additions to the local library. For example, “Wildflowers of Alabama and Adjoining States” (University of Alabama Press) should be in all public libraries in Alabama; “A Guide to the Wildflowers of South Carolina” (University of South Carolina Press) should be in South Carolina libraries. “Florida's Fabulous Spiders” (World Publications [CA]), “Field Guide to Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic” (Pennsylvania State University Press) and “Mammals of Texas” (University of Texas Press) would all be popular in local school libraries. Many books of this nature may serve as sources of regional information. These suggestions are of course only examples. The book you donate might reflect your own environmental interests; it might elucidate an ecological issue in your community; it might fill a gap in a particular library’s collection. The goal is to make a donation to a local school or public library that will benefit readers in some way. Identify your audience, research which book(s) to give, then make your donation. Donating a book to a library will producing nothing but positive returns for givers and recipients. Whit Gibbons, Professor Emeritus of Ecology, University of Georgia. Email him at wgibbons@ uga.edu.

Addicted daughter causes anguish for parents Dear Amy: My husband and I have a 29-year-old daughter who has been in and out of drug treatment centers for four years. We are estranged. She has a young daughter and a soonto-be ex-husband who is also a user. They lost custody of our granddaughter due to their neglect ASK and endangerAMY ing her welfare. Thankfully our granddaughter is in good hands with her other grandmother. They all live several hundred miles away from us. Recently our daughter moved back to our area. She has several charges against her in her previous area and she has court dates that, it appears, she has no intention of attending. She has used us, and others, over the years and said and done, quite frankly, unforgivable things to my husband and me. We are afraid of her showing up on our doorstep, once again, creating drama, havoc and chaos in our lives. Everything we have learned through Al-Anon, NarAnon, books, counseling and attending her parents’ weekends in rehab has us believing we should turn her away and tell her we love her but cannot have a relationship until she is truly in recovery and working her program. We feel conflicted. We feel that getting involved with her legal problems and living situations is enabling her. What do you think? We just need one more source to con-
firm we are on the right course. — At Wits’ End Dear End: Your anguish about this underscores how very challenging it is to maintain a “tough love” attitude toward family members. Your burden is to attain and maintain a loving detachment toward your daughter, understanding that while your attitude may not have any immediate or demonstrable effect on her, enabling her will undermine and contribute to her addiction. Any action you take should be confined to prompting her toward rehab. Unfortunately, there is no one response that will work for your daughter and also relieve your anxiety. Continue to attend support groups and learn
from professionals and other parents. Dear Amy: My husband and I travel more than 1,000 miles to visit his mom in Florida every year for the holidays. We have two children (ages 2 and 4). The problem is, my motherin-law has a swimming pool in her backyard that does not have a fence around it! I don’t expect her to pay thousands of dollars to get a fence put up just for our month-long visit — but this is an issue every year! My husband doesn’t think it’s a problem because we keep a close eye on our kids, but it only takes one time for them to get into the backyard for a horrific accident to happen. I don’t want to let the kids out of my sight, and so I spend

the entire vacation on edge. Please don’t suggest that we don’t go or that we stay in a hotel. His mom is older and can’t come and visit us. — Worried Mom Dear Mom: This is nerveracking — and the issue of pool safety rises to the level of nerve shredding. In some Sun Belt states, swimming pool accidents are the leading cause of death in children under 5. I urge you and your husband to research the cost of fencing in the pool. Spread over the next 10 years or so, this could be a brilliant (and affordable) investment. You all must be constantly vigilant. Install a lock high up and a portable alarm on any door leading to the outside and make sure every single adult complies with locking the doors and watching both children constantly.
Dear Amy: “Disgusted” wrote to you about her husband and kids treating her like a maid. She should do what I wish I had done 47 years ago: leave the dirty dishes and all the mess in the kitchen for them to wake up to the next morning. Ignore all of them, go to bed and read a book. The next morning get up early, leave the house, eat breakfast out and find yourself a job. I wish I had done that. — Been There Dear Been There: Sometimes, the maid has to go on strike to prove her worth.

Mel Gibson returns to court for custody fight LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mel Gibson is back in a Los Angeles courtroom to resume his custody fight with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva The Academy Award winner sat quietly in a courtroom across from Grigorieva, a Russian musician, before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon began a closed hearing on Monday. Gibson and Grigorieva have been sparring for months over custody and financial issues involving their infant daughter. Investigators are looking into Gibson’s allegation that Grigorieva attempted to extort him after their breakup earlier this year. Grigorieva has alleged Gibson struck her during an argument in January. No criminal charges have yet been filed in either case.

BUT NO WINDFALL FOR SCHOOLS
Lottery has holiday spirit ou can tell we’re entering the holiday season. Salvation Army bells are ringing; stores are gearing up for their post-Thanksgiving sales, and the N.C. lottery is looking to cash in on the season of good cheer. What could say “happy holidays” better than a new lottery game called ... Happy Holidays? That’s one of four seasonally themed games rolled out this month. The others are Jingle Jackpot, Winter Green Doubler and Holiday Riches. At the risk of sounding Scroogish, a more appropriate game might be called “I’m gettin’ nuthin’ for Christmas,” but if people want to throw away money on games of chance, that’s their right. What they shouldn’t do, though, is delude themselves into thinking their ticket purchases are a great gift to N.C. schools. As Salisbury Post reporter Sarah Campbell’s Sunday package on the lottery made clear, the N.C. Education Lottery, as it’s officially known, has not been a windfall for education. In part, that’s because the lottery pot is a particularly tempting target for state leaders, especially when they’re struggling to balance the budget. For the current budget year, for instance, the governor diverted $50 million from lottery reserves to help balance the state budget, and legislators siphoned off $35 million for Medicaid and other social service programs. Those kinds of diversions are just what critics feared would happen when the lottery was narrowly approved in 2005. Even in relative good economic times — remember those? — lottery funds tend to supplant funds generated by taxes, rather than being added on top of them. Thus, when the lottery proceeds are divvied up among 100 N.C. counties, many school systems find themselves in situations similar to Rowan, with lottery proceeds used to pay off bond debt and retain existing teachers, rather than providing some extra funds that could help hire more teachers and decrease class sizes or help offset capital outlays. Meanwhile, in the endless quest to pull in new players, the lottery has to continually roll out new games and boost payout percentages. Even as lottery officials boast of record ticket sales — $1.42 billion last fiscal year — schools are getting a declining share of the pie — 30 percent compared to 35 percent in previous years.. Some Republican state legislators have said they would like to prevent lottery proceeds from being diverted to non-education uses. They’ve also promised to look at lowering the lottery’s administrative expenses. Both ideas are worth pursuing. If lottery games are going to be pitched as part of our holiday traditions, we should at least ensure that schools aren’t left holding a half-empty stocking.

SALISBURY POST
Lessons from a political survivor Hunt had resilience to overcome setbacks oincidentally, at the same time a Republican election hurricane took control of the state legislative chambers, a biography of the Democrats’ most successful politician, Jim Hunt, hit the bookshelves. Hunt tapped his longtime political consultant and confidant, Gary Pearce, to write “Jim Hunt: A Biography.” It was a great choice. While Pearce’s book is Hunt-friendly and delivers an important political D.G. success story, it candidly discusses the ups and MARTIN downs of Hunt’s career. Today’s Democrats may want to read the book to learn how Hunt twice (in 1976 and 1992) won back the governor’s mansion from Republican control. Pearce gives answers, but not easy ones: unbridled ambition from the time Hunt was a youth; networking with possible allies across the state; accepting the mentorship of older supporters like D.B. Sheffield (in high school agriculture and Future Farmers) and Bert Bennett (who had helped build Terry Sanford’s political network); an unbelievable work ethic that had him on the go 18 hours of every day but Sunday; a
C
genuine commitment, beyond political advantage, to improve educational and employment opportunities for North Carolinians; and a resilience that gave him the ability to bounce back from defeat. Pearce is a good storyteller so his book is not only instructive but also fun to read, making it a good Christmas present for Democrats and Republicans. The best parts of the book for me were two descriptions of Hunt’s bounce-backs from failure. In 1984, when Gov. Jim Hunt announced that he would run for Jesse Helms’ U.S. Senate seat, he was HUNT immediately a clear favorite to win. But, as Pearce explains in detail in a chapter called “Flip-Flopping to Defeat,” Hunt and his team lost an election they should have and could have won. Hunt could have given up politics and public service. But he went right back to work as governor. Pearce quotes him, “I had two more months as governor, and I was determined to give it all I had. Keep working every day, every night, just like I always had. Don’t just quit right then and start boxing it up, but keep working on all the issues ...” One result was the transfer of a gigantic piece of Dix Hospital land to N.C. State for the new Centennial Campus, something
that might not have happened if Hunt had been busy during this time getting ready to serve in the Senate. More important, and much less recognized as a Hunt career builder, was his double loss in 1964. His candidate for governor, Richardson Preyer, lost to Dan Moore, ending any hope Hunt had for a position in the new administration. After the primary, he flunked the bar exam, postponing the time when he could hang out his shingle as a lawyer. What did Hunt do? He took his family to Nepal for a two-year stint as an economic advisor. He worked at a high level to develop an economic plan for the entire nation. Hunt says, “I learned to get a big view of a country ... What you have to do to develop a nation — the importance of educating people, providing infrastructure like roads, electricity, banks.” His time in Nepal made him more pragmatic, less ideological. “It isn’t just a matter of dividing the pie. You can grow the pie. That’s a fundamental thing to know.” My theory, based on Pearce’s short description of the Nepal experience, is that it, as much as anything else, set Hunt apart. If Richardson Preyer had won or Jim Hunt had passed the bar exam, Hunt would have missed Nepal. His life and North Carolina history would have made for a much different story from the one Gary Pearce tells so well. • • • D.G. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s “North Carolina Bookwatch.”
Land & water fund a wise investment BY DYKE MESSINGER For the Salisbury Post
s Congress returns to address the myriad challenging issues this country is facing, I wanted to promote an unusual but important opportunity currently pending before this “lame duck” session. I am personally proud to be a political “conservative,” and also proud to be a “conservationist.” Far from being contrary notions, both labels derive from the same word “conserve,” which itself means “to use MESSINGER carefully or sparingly, avoiding waste.” It is hard to argue with the wisdom reflected in this notion. We are blessed as North Carolinians to live in a beautiful state with many cherished public lands. These public lands allow us to experience our most inspiring natural resources through national parks, national forests, fish and wildlife refuges, and local parks. These cherished public lands contribute to our vibrant tourism economy, and are part of the reason that North Carolina is prepared to become the ninth (or perhaps even eighth!) most populous state in the union (depending upon the results of this year’s Census). Sen. Richard Burr understands the importance of these public lands, and he should be commended for taking the bold step of being the first Republican senator in the nation to support full funding of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund — the primary mechanism for purchasing and enhancing public lands in America. Aside from this being a popular program for Americans of all shapes and sizes, Senator Burr also recognizes that the program derives its funding not from taxes levied on the American citizens, but rather from proceeds derived from offshore drilling operations in federal coastal waters. This is good public policy — promoting American energy independence while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for Americans by improving and enhancing our beloved public lands. In these politically divisive times, Congress would do well to pass a bipartisan bill during this “lame duck” session that would fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund from oil drilling proceeds. Already, this program has either purchased or enhanced (through parking lots, restroom facilities, ballfield lights, etc.) public lands in 98 percent of the counties across the country. If Congress can take advantage of this “low hanging fruit,” it would go a long way toward changing the tone in Washington, D.C., from partisan politics to good public policy. • • • Dyke Messinger is president of the LandTrust for Central North Carolina and president of Salisbury-based Power Curbers, Inc.

National Mall is just too popular Scripps Howard News Service
he National Park Service has a formidable two-volume document called the Final National Mall Plan. And Congress has declared that the Mall was a work of civic art that is “substantially” complete. That word “final” might be overly optimistic; so, too, might “substantially.” Even though the Mall figured in Pierre L’Enfant’s original plan for the city of Washington, it has never really been finished. The Mall has served as a network of drainage canals, a dump, a site of slaughterhouses and railway stations, a red-light district, a military encampment and temporary offices for government workers starting in World War I, the last of those barracks-like buildings not being torn down until the 1970s. Just when Congress has yielded to the pleas of Mall lovers and declared the Mall finished and out of vacant space, the lawmakers yield to one or another lobby and approve a new memorial or mu-
T
seum. Pessimists see it one day being as packed with stacked marble as the Roman Forum. And just the other day the government announced plans for a $9 million levee on the Mall to protect the Federal Triangle from 100-year floods. The permanent part of the levee will be an 8-foot-high, stone-covered concrete berm. A removable floodwall of girders and steel panels will close off a street when high water threatens. Someone always has a use for vacant space on the Mall. The other problem with the Mall is that tourists, demonstrators and natives alike love it to death. Its 684 acres receive over 22 million visitors a year. No other national park is even close. The Mall is truly a magnificent space, extending from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol on one axis and from the White House to the Jefferson Memorial to the other, and presided over more or less in the middle by the Washington Monument. That makes the Mall much
in demand for concerts, rallies, demonstrations, parades and assorted festivals. Each year the National Park Service receives over 6,000 applications for permits for activities on the Mall and approves about half of them. The result is that the Mall suffers from a considerable maintenance backlog. The stimulus money is taking care of one of the most critical needs. The sidewalk and retaining wall around the Jefferson Memorial were crumbling and sinking into the Tidal Basin. Several of the lawns are worn down to bare earth because the existing sidewalks are not wide enough to accommodate all the visitors. The foot traffic spills over on to the grass and visitors wear new paths taking shortcuts. The National Park Service knows what it wants to do — and miraculously got 20 other federal agencies to agree — but with funds being short and budgets sure to be cut, it is hoping for help from individuals and the private sector. We hope so, too.

TSA chief warns against boycott of scanners ATLANTA (AP) — The nation’s airport security chief urged travelers not to boycott full-body scans on Wednesday — one of the busiest flying days of the year — as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches with some Americans in a foul and rebellious mood. Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said Monday that such delaying actions would only “tie up people who want to go home and see their loved ones.” “We all wish we lived in a world where security procedures at airports weren’t necessary,” he said, “but that just isn’t the case.” He noted the alleged attempt by a Nigerian with explosives in his underwear to bring down a plane over Detroit last Christmas. There was little if any indication of a revolt Monday as passenger screening appeared to go smoothly at many major U.S. airports, with very few people declining the X-ray scan that can peer through their clothes.

over its sides into the water. A witness who arrived shortly after the stampede described “bodies stacked on bodies” on the bridge as rescuers swarmed the area. Ambulances raced back and forth between the river and the hospitals for several hours after the stampede. Calmette Hospital, the capital’s main medical facility, was filled to capacity with bodies as well as patients, some of whom had to be treated in hallways. Many of the injured appeared to be badly hurt, raising the prospect that the death toll could rise as local hospitals became overwhelmed. Hours after the chaos, the dead and injured were still being taken away from the scene, while searchers looked for bodies of anyone who might have drowned. An Associated Press reporter saw one body floating in the river, and hundreds of shoes left behind on and around the bridge. Prime Minister Hun Sen, in his third post-midnight live television broadcast, said that 339 people had been killed and 329 injured. He described the chaos as the biggest
tragedy to strike his country since the communist rule of the Khmer Rouge, whose radical policies are blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million people during the 1970s.
Toddler’s fatal plunge at stadium under investigation LOS ANGELES (AP) — The family of a 2-year-old boy was posing for pictures in a luxury suite high inside Staples Center when he managed to scale a clear safety barrier and fell more than 20 feet to his death, police said on Monday. Lucas Anthony Tang suffered head injuries Sunday when he landed on rows of seats minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 117-89, police said. The boy later died at a hospital. “Somehow the child went over the edge of the section,” Officer Julie Sohn said. Police were releasing few details about the incident as they tried to determine what happened. Sohn said the boy’s family was taking photographs at the time of the fall.

Panthers’ decline to NFL’s worst almost complete BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Less than two years after going 12-4 and winning the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers have become the front-runner in a much different competition: Securing the worst record in the NFL and the ensuing top pick in the draft. After an offseason youth movement that’s produced shockingly lit-
tle depth and the league’s worst offense, the Panthers (1-9) sunk to the bottom of the NFL on Sunday in a day of new lows. There was the sight of journeyman ST. PIERRE Brian St. Pierre becoming the first quarterback in seven years to have interceptions re-

Vikings handle Raiders BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Former South Rowan boys C. Cabarrus 70 coach Bob S. Rowan 69 Parker saw college coaches in South’s gym, and he knew it wasn’t a good thing. “It’s never a comfortable feeling when they’re there to see somebody and you don’t think it’s one of yours,” Parker said with a chuckle. Central Cabarrus junior guard L.J. Cooks, the only Viking wearing gold shoes, was the star attraction. That was easy to figure out the first time he dunked and the first time he swished a 3-pointer on the move. Cooks scored 24 points and led the Vikings to a 70-69 victory over a South team that was outgunned but never out of the game. It was a relatively comfortable one-point win AKERS for Central. South’s Brad Akers swished a long 3-pointer at the horn for the final margin. Aaron Johnson, another Central junior, swished the first of two free throws with eight seconds left to provide the decisive point. “You just hope he misses that first one,” South coach John Davis. “Then there’s an awful lot of pressure on the second one.” Akers, a senior, hit four 3-pointers and led the Raiders with 19 points. “I thought we played our butts off,” Davis said. “Central’s talented, and Cooks sets up a lot of stuff for their other guys. We’d heard they’d looked great in scrimmages, so we were concerned if we could compete. I thought we showed a lot of toughness.” Sophomore Josh Medlin and two seni o r s (Mark McDaniel and Johnathan GADDY G a d d y ) scored 10 points apiece for the Raiders in their opener. Gaddy’s 10 were all spectacular, and he got them in a 70-second span in the second quarter. He had Raider Rowdies high-fiving and chanting his name. But he got into foul trouble early in the second half and picked up his fifth on a charge — a scintillating bucket got wiped out by the whistle — with 2:28 left in the third. “He got a couple of silly fouls, but he also showed what he can do,” Davis said. “He can take a game over.” Central led 36-35 at halftime.

Butler hands loss to Hornets BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
There’s nothing like taking a midterm on the Butler 60 first day of class, Salisbury 50 but that’s essentially what the S a l isbury girls basketball team encountered Monday night. The two-time defending 2A state champions opened their season by
falling 60-50 to visiting Butler — the defending 4A state titlist — in the i n a u gural Clash of the Champions. “We knew this day was coming,” first-year coach MCNEIL Chris McNeil said after the Hornets’ 35-game winning streak was curbed. “We gave them
our best shot, and they gave us theirs.” Butler’s packed a little more punch, especially in the fourth quarter, when SHS misfired on several open looks and was HEILIG outscored 19-10. “We’ve got to look at it as just another game,” under-theweather senior Jessica Heilig said.
“We’re gonna bounce back and keep going strong and keep playing hard.” Butler’s Cierra Burdick, a 6-foot-1 senior who has signed with Tennessee, topped all scorers with 27 points. Aliyah Kilpatrick added 18, including eight in the decisive fourth quarter. “This just shows that we’re going to fight to win, no matter who it is,” Kilpatrick said.

Porter, East debut at Davie BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
wAYne hinShAw/SALISBURY POST
DANIELLE PORTER
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan senior Ethan Curlee often sees Danielle Porter, the school’s girls basketball coach, running multiple laps around the track at the local Y. When Porter ventures inside to participate in pick-up basketball games, Curlee likes having her on his team. “She does these behind-the-back passes,” Curlee said. “If someone goes down and gets posted up, she’ll do a behind-the-back bounce pass to them for a wide-open layup. I’ll usually be on her team since she’s an East Rowan coach.” Porter, a point guard at East in the late 1990s, took over as the head coach at her alma mater in April. The Mustangs open tonight at Davie County. Formerly an assistant to prep teammate Karen Garmon, the roles have changed to where Garmon will now work alongside Porter. “A lot of people have been helpful in different ways, and I try to take the good and bad from everything I encounter to learn what to do and what not to do,” Porter said. “The jayvee team last year felt like the first time as a coach I saw it click as far as teamwork and understanding what it takes to build chemistry. “That fueled me to want to continue to be part of it.”

Salisbury guard Ashia Holmes looks to pass over the top of Butler’s Aliyah Kilpatrick.
HORNETS FROM 1B “We knew they we good. We knew they were bigger than us. And we knew they were 29-0 (last season). Hey, they came out strong and we finished strong.” Salisbury turned the overflow crowd into a human trampoline in the opening minutes when it bolted to a 10-2 lead. “We were so prepared for this,” said guard Ayanna Holmes, who knocked down a shot from the left side to open the scoring, then buried a 3-pointer before the game was two minutes old. “Everyone knew their assignments and executed. Eventually, they executed just as well, and it became a battle.” Burdick, who netted 15 points in the first half, led Butler’s uphill charge. Her free throw with 4:38 remaining in the first half tied the score at 23-all, and her clean jumper from the foul line gave the Bulldogs their first lead a minute later. “I think we really settled down and started playing our game,” she said. “In the beginning we were playing their game — that run-and-gun, fastpaced style. We had to tone it down.” Burdick spent most of the night
making life miserable for defenders such as Heilig (11 points, eight rebounds) and Olivia Rankin (six rebounds). Even f r e s h m a n RANKIN Brielle Blaire, who contributed 10 points and four rebounds in her varsity debut, was outmanned. “She was defending me, and I had to pick her up a few times,” Blaire said. “She’s good, but I don’t think it was that difficult. I was more nervous than anything.” Holmes offered another take. “When it came time to contest her shot, all I could do was get a hand up,” she said. “But when we pressured her and defended her away from the basket, she stumbled a little more.” The Hornets, confident for much of the game, transformed into a jittery group in the final period. Salisbury held its final lead when Blaire got a fortunate bounce and converted a 3-pointer from the right side, providing a 45-43 lead with 7:05 remaining. Burdick scored five of Butler’s next six points to put the guests back in front. When teammate Jaymee FisherDavis hit a 3-pointer from the left

side, the Bulldogs led by six with 4:04 to play. “She just happened to be standing right there at the right time,” Salisbury’s Ashia Holmes said. “She hadn’t hit anything all game, and she knocks that down.” It added up to a hard-fought loss for Salisbury, its first since dropping a 45-43 decision to East Davidson in the 2009 CCC tournament final. “Everyone comes to a bump in the road,” Ashia Holmes said. “You’ve just got to get over it. What’s done is done. Now we’ll pick up where we left off.”
NOTES: Salisbury will play North Iredell today at 7:30 p.m. to close out the Clash. ... In Monday’s second game, Hopewell won 54-42 over Forestview. ... Heilig switched from uniform No. 25 to No. 5 late in the first half because some blood spilled on her usual jersey. ... Doreen Richardson contributed eight points off the bench for Salisbury. ... Former West Rowan player Julia Hartsell is in her second year as a Butler assistant. BUTLER (60)— Burdick 27, Kilpatrick 18, Davenport 6, Fisher-Davis 5, Morgan 3, Atkinson 1.

Danielle Porter gives instructions to Carmen Lowe (30) and Taylor Honeycutt.
PORTER FROM 1B Last season, East went 5-18 overall and tied for fifth place in the NPC. Porter will turn to forward Olivia Sabo and others with hopes of leading the Mustangs back toward the top of the conference standings. Porter, whose last name was Cross before she got married, played on a pair of 19-win teams in high school. As a junior during the 1996-97 season, she averaged 3.2 points for a group that finished third in the SPC but won the conference tournament. Porter scored six points in a 70-68 victory against Concord. She averaged 7.3 points as a senior on a squad that tied for fourth in the league with a 12-4 mark and repeated as SPC tournament champions. She totaled 24 points in the first two rounds and helped East again beat Concord in the final. “We were friends, we were a team and we won,” Porter said. “It was strictly because we were a core unit. We weren’t the greatest athletes. We were just a team. That’s what I’m trying to get across to the young kids.” Porter is now in a position of authority after admittedly being a bit of a “renegade” as a player. During a game against Northwest Cabarrus, Porter had her back to East’s basket when she received an outlet pass near mid-
court. She saw her best friend, Lauren Simpson, filling an open lane and instinctively pushed the ball between her legs on a no-look offering. Simpson caught the pass and made a layup. “We thought it was really cool, but we got yanked,” Porter said with a laugh. Porter had a penchant for making the flashy play — and still does, based on Curlee’s observations — and said she won’t discourage her team from showing creativity as long as it’s not in a showboating manner. “I’m still the same person, still a risk taker, and I like to see independent thinkers,” Porter said. “I feel that I was back then and still am. As long as they’re within the parameters of what I want them to do, that’s fine.” After graduating from East Rowan, Porter attended East Carolina and coached basketball for the Greenville Parks and Recreation department throughout her time in college.

Porter finds that playing basketball is a more enjoyable way to stay in shape than jogging, so she makes repeated visits to the Y to compete in male-dominated contests. “I don’t like to lose,” she said. “One thing I’m not good at is losing.” How does her game compare to where it was a decade ago? “I’m a little bit smarter but a whole lot slower,” Porter said, “so it probably evens out.”

Wolfpack closes in on ACC division crown BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
RALEIGH — N.C. State is just a win away from a division title that seemed improbable not so long ago. “If you asked me this time last year what we were going to be doing right now, I’d like to have said we were going to play for an ACC championship,” linebacker Audie Cole said Monday, “but I don’t know if I’d have actually believed it.” And yet, the 21st-ranked Wolfpack can earn a spot in the ACC championship game by winning at Maryland on Saturday. N.C. State (8-3, 5-2) has played the past month knowing it controlled its own destiny in the Atlantic Division race, making the past few weeks basically a countdown for a program that hasn’t won an ACC title in 31 years. Yet with a comeback win at rival North Carolina — the fourth straight in the series — N.C. State’s players know the division crown is no longer
game championship each and every week,” O’Brien said. “I think that’s the only way you can do it. ... Now they’ll believe me because it is the last game. It is the championship game of the Atlantic Division. We have an opportunity to do something special.” Last week, Maryland (7-4, 4-3) was still alive in the division chase, which would have set up a winnertake-all game with the Wolfpack. But Florida State beat the Terrapins on the road to finish its league schedule at 6-2, and the No. 22 Seminoles would earn the division title if N.C. State loses this weekend. Either N.C. State or Florida State will face No. 13 Virginia Tech — which clinched the Coastal Division crown by winning at Miami last associated press weekend — in the ACC title game in Nate irving (56) sacks North carolina quarterback t.J.

ed Wake Forest in its home finale. Last week, N.C. State rallied from a 19-10 third-quarter deficit to win. “Whatever situation you’re in is going to be a tough task, but these kids have been up to it,” O’Brien said. “They haven’t been fazed by a lot of things. They understand that they’re going to have to grind it out and keep playing as hard as they can and believe something good is going to happen. That’s been the history of our season thus far: something good has happened for us.” Maryland won the first three meetings against O’Brien’s squad, including a 37-0 victory that prevented the Wolfpack from becoming bowl eligible in the 2007 regular-season finale. It was N.C. State’s first shutout loss in a dozen years. This time, N.C. State’s players know a lot more is at stake. “We’ve been taking it one game at a time,” offensive guard R.J. Mattes said, “and now it’s really one more game left.”

Maxwell finalists named Associated Press
Cam Newton of Auburn, Andrew Luck of Stanford and Kellen Moore of Boise State are the finalists for the Maxwell Award, which goes to the best player in college football, and the Davey O’Brien Award, which honors the top quarterback. CLEMSON CLEMSON, S.C. — Running back Andre Ellington spent the latest practice running along the sideline as he tries to return from a toe injury. Coach Dabo Swinney says it will be later this week before the team decides if Ellington can play Saturday against South Carolina. FURMAN CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson has given offensive coordinator Billy Napier permission to interview with Furman for its head coaching job. Napier was quarterback for the Paladins from 1999 to 2002, leading the team to the national title game in 2001. NOTRE DAME SOUTH BEND, Ind. — An Indiana prosecutor said he is reviewing a case involving a student who reportedly accused a Notre Dame football player of sexual battery. Michael A. Dvorak said that his office has received a completed report from Notre Dame campus police regarding the alleged Aug. 31 assault
of Elizabeth Seeberg and will decide whether further action is warranted. Seeberg identified her alleged assailant as a Notre Dame football player, the Chicago Tribune reported. Seeburg was a student at St. Mary's College, near Notre Dame. She died on Sept. 10 of a suspected drug overdose, according to the Tribune, citing the sheriff's office. NEBRASKA LINCOLN, Neb. — Quarterback Taylor Martinez, already slowed by a sprain to his right ankle, showed up at practice wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Martinez is day to day. Cody Green would start against Colorado on Friday if Martinez can’t play. HAWAII HONOLULU — The parents of Colt Brennan say the former Hawaii quarterback is sedated and in stable condition after a car crash last week. Terry and Betsy Brennan released a statement Monday saying their son “is not in the best of shape” following Friday’s crash on Hawaii’s Big Island. The Brennans say they are praying for the recovery of two women who also were injured in the wreck. Brennan, 27, suffered broken ribs and injuries to his left collar bone and head. He remains at The Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu.
PANTHERS FroM 1B Fox said he’d probably find out by Wednesday if rookie Jimmy Clausen would be cleared to practice following a concussion sustained Nov. 14. Fox indicated he’d return to Clausen as the starter if he’s healthy. “I would say if he’s cleared that’s probably more than likely,” Fox said. That would end the bizarre St. Pierre experiment. Out of the league and a stayat-home dad until he was signed to the practice squad Nov. 12 following Matt Moore’s season-ending shoulder injury, St. Pierre was promoted to the active roster four days later. Fox then chose the eight-year veteran of five career NFL passes to start over rookie Tony Pike against the Ravens. After an almost comical offensive game plan devoid of anything longer than a 5-yard pass through three quarters, St. Pierre suddenly found David Gettis for an 88-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to get Carolina within 20-13. But after a Ravens field goal, St. Pierre unraveled in 11 seconds. Ed Reed and Ray Lewis had interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, turning a tight game into a rout. According to STATS LLC, the last QB to have two picks returned for scores on consecutive plays was Detroit’s Joey Harrington in 2003 against Minnesota. Yet with Fox not believing Pike is ready,

carolina receiver david Gettis scores on an 88-yard touchdown as Baltimore’s Josh Wilson defends the play. Fox is leaning toward going with St. Pierre again against the Browns if Clausen isn’t cleared. “I’m not saying it’s ideal, but I think we would pursue the avenue that will help us,” Fox said. “He would be in consideration, no doubt.” But St. Pierre was complaining of shoulder pain Monday that surfaced toward the end of last week and got worse in the second half Sunday. “Right now I’ve got to get myself feeling good enough to have a chance to play,” St. Pierre said. “I don’t know what they’re going to do.” It’s been that kind of season as Car-

NFL head coaching jobs, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. “I’m of the belief that Brett Favre is going to get it going and the turnovers are going to come down and we’re going to get going as a football team,” Frazier said. BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy is undergoing further tests on his sprained left ankle, the third Cleveland quarterback to suffer that injury this season. McCoy’s status for this week's game is uncertain, making it possible Jake Delhomme could return to the lineup and start against his former team, the Carolina Panthers. Coach Eric Mangini said Delhomme “is back to 100 percent or back to 100 percent as much as anybody could be 100 percent.” TITANS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said Vince Young needs season-ending surgery on his throwing hand. Not that being healthy would have kept the quarterback in the Titans’ starting lineup. The team is placing Young on injured reserve within the next few days, but after his latest meltdown — throwing
olina careens toward matching the 2001 club’s 1-15 mark. And just like that season, thousands of fans seemed to have abandoned the cause. From the loud, ‘O!’ during the national anthem to the cheers for Todd Heap to the chants of, ‘Let’s go Ravens” late, Sunday was a virtual home game for Baltimore. “I realize we’re a young franchise and with their being big business here with Bank of America and Wachovia a lot of people come from the Northeast and they get these big corporate jobs,” linebacker Jon Beason said. “They support us, they love us. But I think when it comes down to it, they have their teams that they rooted for as a kid. “They cheer for us and then when their team comes to town they cheer for the other team.” There’s been little to cheer for Carolina since Delhomme’s six-turnover performance in a stunning playoff loss to Arizona in the 2008 season. Delhomme’s 18 interceptions a year later led to his departure, but things have only gotten worse with no clear plan on how to get better. “I know Jake seems to be happy where he is,” Fox said. “Sometimes change is good and I don’t believe in looking back.”

SAN DIEGO — Take away all those special teams blunders and turnovers, and this is how the San Diego Chargers were supposed to look all along. Philip Rivers tied his career high with four touchdown passes and the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos 35-14 on Monday night for their third straight victory. “This was the most complete game we’ve played in all three phases,” Rivers said. “We are in a lot of ways in playoff football already. You almost can’t afford a step back at this point.” While Rivers did it on a season-low 233 yards, San Diego’s defense, led by linebacker Shaun Phillips, settled in and harassed Denver’s Kyle Orton after he led an easy opening scoring drive. Patrick Crayton scored on a 40-yard catch-and-run late in the second quarter, hurting his left wrist as he fell into the end zone, and Darren Sproles had a 57-yard catch-and-run early in the third. The four-time defending AFC West champion Chargers (5-5) even pulled off a fake punt, a remarkable accomplishment considering the special teams gaffes that contributed to a 2-5 start. Mike Scifres — who’s had five punts blocked this year — waited for fullback Mike Tolbert to get open, then hit him with a 29-yard pass that set up Rivers’ tying 6-yard scoring pass to Malcom Floyd in the first quarter. The Chargers pulled into a secondplace tie with Oakland, one game behind Kansas City. Denver fell to 3-7. “This is exactly what we set out to do when we were 2-5,” cornerback Antoine Cason said. VIKINGS EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brad Childress is gone one season after he famously picked up Brett Favre at the airport, got a contract extension and came within a field goal of reaching the Super Bowl. The Vikings fired Childress on Monday, ending an eventful and often tumultuous run with the team marred recently by player unrest, livid fans and an angry boss over everything from his abrupt decisions to a 3-7 start. “I am proud of our accomplishments and believe the foundation of this football team is stronger today than when I became head coach,” Childress said in a statement released by the team. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who has interviewed seven times for
his pads into the stands — Fisher said Young wouldn’t have started Sunday against Houston anyway. Rusty Smith will start instead. The Tennessean reported Monday that owner Bud Adams had talked to Fisher and Young and told them to “get this thing settled” and work together. Adams said Young told him he wanted to return to the game, and the 87-yearold owner isn’t going to release the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft. “He is under contract. I wouldn’t want to let him go. We are going to pay him a lot of money,” Adams told the paper. EAGLES PHILADELPHIA — Cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who was down on the field for 11 minutes during Sunday’s win over the Giants, suffered a disc injury in his neck, an MRI revealed Monday, and will be out at least one week. GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Receiver Hakeem Nicks will miss at least three weeks to be treated for Compartment Syndrome. Nicks was injured after a hit to his lower right leg Sunday. He experienced swelling in the area on Monday, which is consistent with Compartment Syndrome, a condition that compresses nerves and blood vessels. It can lead to muscle and nerve damage if not treated immediately. Nicks was scheduled to undergo a fasciotomy Monday. JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Right tackle Damien Woody is scheduled to have an MRI exam on his injured right knee, and coach Rex Ryan says his status for the next game is uncertain. BILLS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Shawne Merriman is expected to miss a third straight week of practice, and there are concerns of whether he will suit up for the Bills at all this season. BENGALS CINCINNATI — The Bengals put safety Chris Crocker and defensive end Frostee Rucker on the injured reserve list because of knee issues. CARDINALS TEMPE, Ariz. — Outside linebacker Will Davis broke his left leg Sunday and is expected to be out for the season. RAIDERS NEW YORK — Defensive lineman Richard Seymour was fined $25,000 for striking Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the helmet.

Plumlee pushes Blue Devils past Marquette BY JIM O’CONNELL Associated Press

Mason plumlee had 25 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If Mason Plumlee keeps playing Duke 82 like this he won’t just Marquette 77 be known as one of the “big brothers” on top-ranked Duke. The 6-foot-10 sophomore scored a career-high 25 points, had 12 rebounds and blocked six shots to lead Duke to an 82-77 victory over Marquette in the semifinals of the CBE Classic on Monday. The younger of the two brothers on the Blue Devils’ roster — 6-11 Miles is a junior — dominated inside all game and scored 14 points after Marquette tied the game for the last time at 57-all. “Of course you always want the ball as a player,” the native of Warsaw, Ind. said. “I just wanted to stay within the plays that were called and my opportunities were there. They did a good job of hitting me. ... I think it was our defense mainly that pulled it out for us.” He was a big part of that as well with the career-high six blocks and half of his 12 rebounds — two off his career high — were on the defensive end. Plumlee wasn’t ready to call this a breakout performance for the Blue Devils (4-0). “It’s early in the season. The first couple of games were good, but we looked at coming here as our first real test,” Plumlee said. “I know personally I did too. It’s a decent start.” The next opponent should definitely be tougher. Duke will face No. 4 Kansas State in tonight’s championship game.

The Blue Devils took a big early lead then saw Marquette (4-1) tie it three times before Duke went on a 9-0 run that gave it the cushion it needed down the stretch on the way to the reigning national champion’s 14th consecutive win. “I thought we started out well, got a 23-9 (lead), but we didn’t built on it. It was almost like we got happy, like it was just going to come. Those kids from Marquette they started turning us over,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “... I thought the best seven minutes of the game were from the 10-minute mark to the three-minute mark for us. There was a lot of game pressure. The game got tied. I thought our kids responded beautifully to that type of pressure.” The Blue Devils took the 14-point lead
Pacers beat Heat
Winthrop holds off Deacons
Associated Press
Associated Press
WINSTON-SALEM — Robbie Dreher made Winthrop 83 h i s return to W. Forest 74 Winthrop’s lineup pay off, both for himself and the Eagles. Dreher scored a career-high 20 points and Winthrop held off a late Wake Forest rally to beat the Demon Deacons 83-74 on Monday night in the consolation round of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Reggie Middleton nearly had a triple-double, scoring 19 points and adding nine rebounds and eight assists for the Eagles (2-2), who beat Wake Forest for the first time in seven tries. It was also Winthrop’s first win over an ACC team since 2007, when it beat Georgia Tech and Miami. “This was big,” said Dreher, who missed the Eagles’ first three games while serving a suspension for violating team rules. “This will give us a lot of momentum. ... We needed a win to keep our confidence up.” Dreher hit 6 of 7 shots from the field — including 3 of 4 3-pointers — and added six assists for Winthrop, which shot 51.6 percent and held a 35-25 rebounding advantage. Gary Clark scored a game-high 23 points for the Demon Deacons (2-3), who trailed by as many as 18 points midway through the second half. “I’d trade all those points for a ‘W’ right now,” Clark said. “We’ve just got to put more points on the board, because the team with the most points wins. The more we execute our offense, the better we’ll be and we’ll get more wins.” Wake Forest fought back, twice cutting Winthrop’s lead to five points, the last at 77-72 on two Travis McKie free throws with 1:18 remaining. However, Matt Morgan muscled in a layup 24 seconds later and the Eagles hit 4 of 7 shots from the freethrow line over the final 40 seconds. Ari Stewart added 17 points for the Demon Deacons, with McKie and Carson Desrosiers scoring 10 each. Wake Forest took advantage of Winthrop’s slow start to take a sixpoint lead in the opening minutes, going up 12-6 on a Stewart 3-pointer with 16:40 left. Winthrop tied the score twice and swapped the lead three times before pulling ahead for good, 25-24, on Andre Jones’ layup with 6:44 remaining. The Eagles then broke loose on a 14-4 run to push their lead into double digits, with Dreher’s jumper with 1:59 left putting Winthrop up 39-28. “We were very much aware of (Dreher),” Deacons head coach Jeff Bzdelik said. “We were prepared for him ... but we kinda had that ‘deer in the headlights’ look at times tonight.” Wake Forest also suffered a scare when center Ty Walker was taken to the locker room with an apparent knee injury late in the first half. The 7-foot junior came down hard on his left leg after missing a dunk, collapsing on the court along the baseline. Walker was helped off the court a few minutes later. However, he returned for the halftime warmups and started the second half for the Deacs.
with 11:15 to play in the first half. Duke was still ahead 40-31 at halftime, but the Golden Eagles were able to tie the game three times but never took the lead. The last tie was 57-all on a baseline jumper by Jae Crowder with 10:28 to play. The Blue Devils scored the next nine points — four by Plumlee — and the Golden Eagles didn’t have another run in them, especially when Plumlee took over. “Mason, obviously, was outstanding. We got him the ball. He made some simple great moves down there. Mason’s performance tonight was huge,” Krzyzewski said. Miles Plumlee had two points and two rebounds in 10 minutes for Duke, which will have a third Plumlee next season as 7-0 Marshall Plumlee has signed a letter of intent to attend Duke. Nolan Smith had 18 points for Duke and Kyle Singler added 14 while freshman Kyrie Irving had 11 points and seven assists. Jimmy Butler led Marquette, which was 4 of 20 on 3-pointers, with 22 points and Crowder added 15. “I don’t know if you can pick a poison because everyone is poisonous,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said of the Blue Devils. “Five (Mason Plumlee) just wore us out. He’s really a good player. They all present challenges to us. Plumlee is good off the bounce. Plumlee can hold his position. He has as many offensive rebounds (six) as he had defensive rebounds. “I would say of those six offensive rebounds, he scored four of them, so 33 percent of his points come on put backs. You can’t do that.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jacob Pullen scored 18 points and No. 4 Kansas State, playing before a pro-Wildcat crowd, pulled away in the second half for an 81-64 victory over No. 22 Gonzaga on Monday night in the semifinals of the CBE Classic. Will Spradling added 13 points for the Wildcats (4-0), who will play No. 1 Duke in the championship game tonight. No. 2 Michigan St. 82, Chaminade 74 LAHAINA, Hawaii — Kalin Lucas had 28 points, Korie Lucious added 13 and Michigan State prevented another Chaminade miracle by holding off the Silverswords in the first round of the Maui Invitational. Chaminade (3-1) is best known for its 1982 win over top-ranked Virginia. No. 8 Kentucky 76, Oklahoma 64 LAHAINA, Hawaii — Freshman Terrence Jones dominated inside on his way to 29 points and 13 rebounds, and No. 8 Kentucky held off scrappy Oklahoma 76-64 in the first round of the Maui Invitational on Monday. The 1993 Maui champions, Kentucky (3-0) nearly blew all of an 18-point lead as Oklahoma (3-1) fought its way back. Kentucky finally pulled away over the final two minutes, going up 70-62 with just over a minute left when Jones blocked a 3-point attempt by Cade Davis and scored on a breakaway dunk. Brandon Knight chipped in 13 points for Kentucky, which moves on to face the winner between a late game be-
tween No. 17 Washington and Virginia. No. 12 Baylor 72, Lipscomb 60 WACO, Texas — LaceDarius Dunn scored 24 points with seven 3-pointers in his season debut. Dunn was suspended for the first three games after a domestic dispute charge involving his girlfriend. No. 18 S.

Connecticut 83, Wichita St. 79 LAHAINA, Hawaii — Kemba Walker scored 29 of his 31 points in the second half and hit a key jumper with under a minute left. Clemson 64, Seton Hall 58 (OT) ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands — Tanner Smith made six free throws in the final 23 seconds to help Clemson defeat Seton Hall in the third-place game of the Paradise Jam. Clemson made 13 of 14 free throws in overtime, getting more attempts in the extra period than Seton Hall had in the game (10 of 12). Demontez Stitt scored 15 points and Devin Booker 14 to lead the Tigers (4-1). Boston College 69, Holy Cross 54 BOSTON — Freshman Danny Rubin scored 14 points in his first career start, hitting a pair of 3s as Boston College scored 12 straight points to pull away. W. Carolina 97, Warren Wilson 47 CULLOWHEE — Richie Gordon scored 23 points and Preston Ross added 12 for the Catamounts (2-2).
MIAMI — All the Miami Heat banners, reminders of everything from division titles to the 2006 NBA championship, were missing from the rafters Monday night. Fitting, because the Heat look nothing like champions these days. Danny Granger had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Brandon Rush added 20 points and the Indiana Pacers added to Miami’s week of woe, beating the Heat 93-77 in the worst shooting game of Dwyane Wade’s career. “We came into their building knowing how good they’re supposed to be,” Rush said. “And they just had a bad night.” Back after a one-game absence with a sprained left wrist, Wade finished with three points on 1-for-13 shooting. LeBron James scored 25 points and Chris Bosh had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Miami, which learned earlier Monday that Udonis Haslem will need surgery to repair a torn foot ligament and be out indefinitely. T.J. Ford scored 13 points and Mike Dunleavy added 11 for the Pacers, who took control with a 29-11 run in the second quarter. SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker had 24 points and 10 assists to help lead San Antonio Spurs to its 11th straight win with a 106-97 victory over Orlando. SALT LAKE CITY — C.J. Miles scored 20 points and Al Jefferson added 19 to help the Utah Jazz beat the Sacramento Kings 94-83. OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 28 points and Jeff Green added 24 as both returned from injury to help the Oklahoma City Thunder win their fifth straight with a 117-107 victory over Minnesota.

Johnson’s five championships speak for themselves BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
MIAMI — It was early Monday morning, and Jimmie Johnson was celebrating another NASCAR championship in the surf on South Beach. His five NASCAR championship trophies had been placed delicately in the sand, and with rolled up pant legs, Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus stepped into the water for one final photo commemorating their historic march through the record books.
Nobody in NASCAR can find the right adjective to describe Johnson’s unprecedented five-year run. And his performance in Sunday’s season finale, running second at Homestead-Miami Speedway to lock down his fifth consecutive title, should certainly have secured his legacy as one of the decade’s most dominant athletes. But after so many years of being either overlooked or disliked, Johnson has stopped caring what people think of him, or his resume. “People tell me they hate me, but they respect me, and that’s always
cool,” Johnson said. “In the moment, I think it’s tough for fans to maybe look at what we have accomplished, because they want their guy to win and I understand that. But I know what we have done is respected sports-wide, not just in our little bubble we live in. “But I don’t need it to make me feel better about what we’ve done. I’m totally content based on our performance. Five in a row, no one has ever done it.” Nobody but Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team, which continue to defy any reason-
able expectations of performance, consistency and longevity. See, Johnson has been very good from the very first day owner Rick Hendrick teamed him with Knaus and turned the duo loose in NASCAR’s premier series. In nine seasons, they’ve amassed 53 wins and contended for the championship every single year. Johnson has never finished lower than fifth in the standings, which happened twice: During his 2002 rookie season, and in 2005, when a blown tire in the season finale dropped him from second to fifth.

Octogenarian loves her electric toothbrush Bridge Hand: From India and Jordan to you Dear Dr. Gott: I enjoy brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush, a habit I have had for years. I’m an 83-year-old female and I know gums tend to recede with age, however slightly. Wouldn’t using such power twice every day exacerbate this? I am delighted that I still have my own teeth. I have no dental hygiene problems and certainly don’t want to cause any.
DR. PETER GOTT
Dear reader: If you have been using an electric toothbrush for a long time and still have all your teeth, I guess you haven’t done anything wrong. Yes, gums do recede as we age, but I’m referring to gums that expose the root surfaces of teeth. This is common in people over the age of 40 and can result from aggressive tooth brushing, periodontal disease, gingivitis and other disorders. The best way of avoiding receding gums is to brush without exerting excessive pressure. Use circular or back and forth motions rather than long swipes with the brush. My guess is you have regular checkups with your dentist. If he or she has not indicated you have a problem, keep up the good work. You’re an example many of us should look up to. Oh, by the way, keep smiling! Dear Dr. Gott: Does hydrogen peroxide help with hard earwax in children, and how
much should I use? I thought I read that two drops in each ear every night was correct, but I’m unsure. Dear reader: Ear wax protects the ear by preventing bacteria, dust and foreign matter from entering and causing damage. Wax can build up in the ear canal but can also occur if a person attempts to clean the ear but inadvertently pushes the wax deeper into the canal. Softeners can include glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, baby oil, olive oil, mineral oil or almond oil, saline solution, or over-the-counter preparations designed for such a purpose. Hydrogen peroxide and other methods should be used only if you are sure there is no infection, discharge, redness or hearing impairment. You are correct in that two drops is the proper amount to use, but I am unsure why you feel nightly use is necessary, unless you have had a major problem with wax impaction. Some people prefer to first use a couple of drops of one of the oils I mentioned, wait a minute or two for it to soften the wax, use an eye dropper to add two drops of warmed hydrogen peroxide and wait until the bubbling stops. Then have the person tip his or her head to the side to catch any residue in a small towel. It’s always more comfortable to warm the products going into the ear. This can be accomplished by immersing both oil and peroxide bottles in a small bowl of warm water briefly before beginning the process. If you don’t already do this or if you use only peroxide, you might want to try the combi-
nation routine. However, you should use peroxide only when absolutely necessary, because it can cause severe dryness of the ear, resulting in further issues. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Attorney: Wesley Snipes not yet in prison MIAMI (AP) — The attorney for Wesley Snipes says the actor has not yet surrendered to federal authorities to begin serving a three-year prison sentence for a tax conviction. Attorney Daniel Meachum said in an e-mail Monday that he’s focused on trying to free Snipes rather than a surrender date. Snipes has been free on bail for two years while appealing his 2008 conviction for willful failure to file income tax returns. A Florida federal judge last week ordered Snipes to begin serving his prison sentence but did not set a surrender date. The 48-year-old Snipes starred in the “Blade” trilogy, “White Men Can’t Jump” and other films. He has recently been in Atlanta working on a new movie called “Master Daddy.”

Ghassan Ghanem from Jordan and Raman Jayaram from India joined forces to produce “The Romance of Bridge.” It contains numerous entertaining deals from around the globe. It would have been a good idea for the authors to get a native English speaker to iron out the text, although some of the constructions are amusing. This deal from the book features excellent defense by Hisham El Mufty (West) and Haitham Abu Nuwar (East) from Jordan. Against four hearts, West led the diamond ace. What happened next? North’s two-spade cue-bid showed three-card or longer heart support and game-invitational or stronger high-card
values. East ought to infer that his partner has led a singleton. (West would not lead from the ace-queen, and choosing the
Beyonce promotes new concert DVD NEW YORK (AP) — Beyonce is tired of the baby rumors. “At this point, they say that I’ve been pregnant like eight times, so I am kind of used to it,” the 29-year-old singer said in an interview with the Associated Press. “I just hope that one day when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me. ... One day hopefully I will be. It’s part of being a celebrity, I guess.” Beyonce is delivering something else — a concert DVD titled, “I AM ... WORLD TOUR,” which goes on sale Friday. Footage from the DVD will air on Thanksgiving in her second prime-
time special on ABC (9:30 p.m. EST), “Beyonce’s I Am ... World Tour,” but this time, she shows a more personal side. “I felt like I’ve done so many different things, it’s time for me to show a bit of who I am. The hardest thing was showing that, because a lot of things that I filmed, I filmed in my computer, and I would never have gotten so open if someone else was in the room,” she explained at her DVD premiere Sunday. Beyonce produced, directed and edited “I AM,” which follows the singer on her world tour, which started in March 2009 and ended in February.
ace from ace-doubleton would be debatable at best.) And if West has led a singleton, he wants to know how to get East on lead to receive a diamond ruff. So East’s card should be a suit-preference signal. Here, he plays his two, the lowest card showing a high honor in clubs. (With the spade ace, East would drop his seven. And with no black-suit honor, he would play the four.) Getting the message, West shifts to the club nine. East wins with his king and gives West a diamond ruff. Then West tries to cash the club ace. South ruffs, but West eventually gets a spade trick to defeat the contract. This book and the others mentioned later this week can be bought at Baron Barclay Bridge Supplies: (800)2742221.
