Holiday crush Memories of family drive spirit of giving Black friday shoppers led by brothers Brandon hiatt, left, and Alex hiatt agreed to meet with their merchandise in the card section of Super target after a rush of bargain shopping. the other team members were MacKenzie Dixon, in the yellow shirt, Brittany Chrisco, and levi Dixon, who is in the background.

The memory of two loved ones inspires Salisbury resident Betty Sunding to give to Christmas Happiness every year.

“My son, Tim, was in the Navy, and he was in an automobile accident while he was on active duty,” Sunding said. “This was back in 1981 — he wasn’t quite 21 years old. I’ve been giving in his memory ever since he died, and then when my husband died, I just doubled it.”

Sunding was married to her husband, Donald, for nearly 50 years before he died in February of 2005.

He retired from the VA Medical Center, where he had worked as the director of voluntary service and an administrative assistant in rehab medicine. Sunding also retired from the medical center as a nurse, and now her daughter works there as a nurse, too.

Sunding has lived in Salisbury since 1972, in the same house the couple first moved into with their four children. They moved there specifically to work at the medical center after living near others in Nebraska, Illinois and Alabama.

She said she believes in what Christmas Happiness is about — making sure children in need receive holiday gifts — and so did her husband.

“It’s not the only one that I give to,” Sunding said. “It’s just one of the ones that I pick, because I think it’s a good thing to do.”

Applications for Christmas Happiness are available on the Rowan County Department of Social Services website. Completed forms may be turned in at Social Services or mailed Nov. 29-Dec. 6.

Eligible families will receive a $25 voucher per child, with a maximum of $100 per family. Last year, 2,857 children received gifts this way.

Shoppers share thrill of the hunt for Black Friday bargains KANNAPOLIS — As Alex Hiatt turned the corner in a run toward the movie section of Super Target, he felt something.

“Someone stepped on my foot on the way in,” he recalled later.

When it happened, Hiatt lost one of his sneakers, but he kept going.

How could he not? This was the rough-and-tumble world of Black Friday, and Hiatt wasn’t going to waste those 12 hours he had waited in line to retrieve a sneaker.

“I knew if I stopped, turned around and went back, I was done for,” he said.

Hiatt, a West Rowan High MARK graduate who’s living in WINEKA Raleigh, was among thousands who poured into the Super Target at Afton Ridge when the doors opened at 4 a.m. for Black Friday sales.

Hiatt’s group of five was first in line, thanks to his having set up outside the door at 4 p.m.

Thanksgiving Day. (The Super Target was closed Thursday.)

When Hiatt returned to the store’s greeting card section — the meeting place he had set up with his brothers Brandon Hiatt and Levi Dixon, sister MacKenzie Dixon and Brandon’s girlfriend, Brittany Chrisco — he was in his

stocking feet.

So he wouldn’t hobble so much, Alex had taken off his one remaining sneaker and put it in his shopping cart, which was loaded down with DVDs, towels and Boost Mobiles.

The group was a little bit shaken. MacKenzie, 15, had to fight for the $3 appliances and two 30-inch televisions in her cart.

“I just dove and got some,” MacKenzie said.

“I was mad. ... I’ve never been that aggressive.”

She became a bit tearful talking about it, fearful she may have hit a man’s leg. Chrisco gave her a hug. Still, MacKenzie scored big with the televisions and mixers, coffee makers, toasters and a sandwich maker.

“I only got one sandwich maker,” said a disappointed MacKenzie, who attends West Rowan High.

Brandon Hiatt also faced a tussle in trying to claim his sharply discounted 40-inch flatscreen television. There was a bit of a free-forall for the limited number (about 15) available, and he wasn’t able to grab three for his East Coast Wings restaurant in High Point as he had hoped.

His cart also held a family-sized electric griddle.

Chrisco and Levi Dixon had run to the camera and electronics section to obtain a video controller for Levi’s Xbox 360 and a Canon camera that was a Black Friday bargain.

Brandon hiatt, middle, goes over a map of the Super target store with MacKenzie Dixon, left, and levi Dixon.

The camera is going to be a big part of Brandon Hiatt’s Christmas, Brittany said, explaining that Brandon knew that going into Black Friday.

State’s Christmas tree growers await buyers North Korea defiant

as U.S. exercise nears

SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Before the Thanksgiving feast was even over, visions of sparkling Christmas trees adorned with flashy ornaments were already making their way into people’s heads.

Now that the turkey has been carved and the leftovers put away, it’s time to start searching for the perfect Christmas tree.

Jennifer Greene, executive director of the North Carolina Christmas Tree Association, recommends buying a Fraser fir.

“They are soft and pleasant to the touch and have a very rich, dark color,” she said. “They also have that wonderful aroma.”

The North Carolina Christmas Tree Industry is ranked second in the nation in number of trees harvested, with the Fraser fir representing more than 96 percent of all species grown here, according to the N.C. Christmas Tree Association.

Greene said those purchasing Fraser firs can go ahead and purchase their Christmas tree now. The

“As long as you take care of it in a proper manner, it’s very good in retaining its needles,” she said.

The first step is figuring out where to buy one.

There are a couple of different options, including stopping by a local retail lot or nursery to pick up.

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — A defiant flash of North Korean artillery within sight of the island that it attacked this week sent a warning signal to Seoul and Washington: The North is not backing down.

The apparent military drill Friday came as the top U.S. commander in South Korea toured Yeonpyeong island to survey the wreckage from the rain of artillery three days earlier. As a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier headed toward the Yellow Sea for exercises next week with South Korea, the North warned that the joint maneuvers will push the Korean peninsula to the “brink of war.”

South Korea’s government, meanwhile, struggled to recoup from the surprise attacks that killed four people, including two civilians, and forced its beleaguered defense minister to resign Thursday. President Lee Myungbak on Friday named a former

chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the post.

Tensions have soared between the Koreas since the North’s strike Tuesday destroyed large parts of Yeonpyeong in a major escalation of their sporadic skirmishes along the disputed sea border.

The attack — eight months after a torpedo sank a South Korean warship, killing 46 sailors — has laid bare Seoul’s weaknesses in defense 60 years after the Korean War. Lee has ordered reinforcements for the 4,000 troops on Yeonpyeong and four other Yellow Sea islands, as well as top-level weaponry and upgraded rules of engagement.

The heightened animosity between the Koreas comes as the North undergoes a delicate transition of power from leader Kim Jong Il to his young, inexperienced son Kim Jong Un, who is in his late 20s and is expected to eventually suc-

LONDON (AP) — U.S. allies around the world have been briefed by American diplomats about an expected release of classified U.S. files by the WikiLeaks website that is likely to cause international embarrassment and could damage some nations’ relations with the United States.

The release of hundreds of thousands of State Department cables is expected this weekend, although WikiLeaks has not been specific about the timing. The cables are thought to include private, candid assessments of foreign leaders and governments and could erode trust in the U.S. as a diplomatic partner.

In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokesman, Steve Field, said Friday that the government had been told of “the likely content of these leaks” by U.S. Ambassador Louis Susman. Field declined to say what Britain had been warned to expect.

“I don’t want to speculate about precisely what is going to be leaked before it is leaked,” Field said.

In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said U.S. diplomats were continuing the process of warning governments

ceed his ailing father.

Washington and Seoul have pressed China to use its influence on Pyongyang to ease tensions amid worries of all-out war. A dispatch Friday from Chinese state media saying Beijing’s foreign minister had met the North Korean ambassador appeared to be an effort to trumpet China’s role as a responsible actor and placate the U.S. and the South.

The North sees the U.S.South Korean drills scheduled to start Sunday as a major military provocation. Pyongyang unleashed its anger over the planned exercises in a dispatch earlier Friday.

“The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war,” the report in the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said.

A North Korean official boasted that Pyongyang’s military “precisely aimed and hit the enemy artillery base” as punishment for South Korean military drills — a reference to Tuesday’s attack — and warned of another “shower of dreadful fire,” KCNA reported.

around the world about what might be in the documents.

Many fear the cables will embarrass the United States and its allies, and reveal sensitive details of how the U.S. conducts relations with other countries.

“We are all bracing for what may be coming and condemn WikiLeaks for the release of classified material,” Crowley said. “It will place lives and interests at risk. It is irresponsible.”

The governments of Canada and Norway also said they had been briefed by U.S. officials. Israel’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on a report that it had been informed.

WikiLeaks has said the release will be seven times the size of its October leak of 400,000 Iraq war documents, already the biggest leak in U.S. intelligence history.

The U.S. says it has known for some time that WikiLeaks held the diplomatic cables. No one has been charged with passing them to the website, but suspicion focuses on U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst arrested in Iraq in June and charged over an earlier leak.

said. “A Christmas tree isn’t just going to burst into flames by itself.”

Christmas trees are sustainable resources, so Blackwelder said it’s important to find a way to recycle them after the holidays are over.

“Sometimes the county will collect trees and grind them for mulch,” he said. “Others will use them at the lake for fish” habitats.

Greene said tips for recycling are also available online at http://earth911.com.

“You want to make sure you get one that fits in the space,” she said. “Be mindful of the height of your ceiling, you want to get one that is about a foot shorter.”

Darrell Blackwelder, director of the Rowan Cooperative Extension Center, said there is a quick way to determine if a tree is healthy.

“The best way to judge a fresh cut tree is to pinch the needles, they should be soft and aromatic,” he said. “Shake the tree. If a large number of needles fall, go to another tree.”

Be careful about where you place the tree in your home.

“Keep it away from heating vents, fireplaces and wood stoves,” Greene said.

“Also, avoid spots in direct sunlight, which will cause it to dry up sooner.”

Before decorating the tree, Greene said to cut about a half inch off the bottom. Be sure the cut is straight across.

“This will allow the trunk to start taking in water immediately,” she said.

Greene said the tree stand for a standard 5-foot should hold at least one gallon of water.

“Never let it get empty before you rewater it,” she said.

“You always want to keep plenty of water in the stand.”

Before adding lights to the tree, be sure to check cords for frays.

China expressed worry over any war games in waters within its exclusive economic zone, though the statement on the Foreign Ministry website didn’t mention the drills starting Sunday. That zone extends 230 miles (370 kilometers) from China’s coast and includes areas south of Yeonpyeong cited for possible maneuvers, although the exact location of the drills is not known.

North Korea does not recognize the maritime border drawn by the U.N. in 1953, and considers the waters around Yeonpyeong Island its territory.

Yeonpyeong Island, home to South Korean military bases as well as a civilian population of about 1,300 people, lies only seven miles (11 kilometers) from North Korean shores.

The U.S. commander in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, said during a visit to the island that Tuesday’s attack was a clear violation of the armistice signed at the end of the three-year Korean War. “We at United Nations Command will investigate this completely and call on North Korea to stop any future attacks,” he said.

Washington keeps more than 28,000 troops in South Korea to protect its ally — a sore point for North Korea, which cites the U.S. presence as the main reason behind its

Black Friday may be the busiest ever The Associated Press

For one day at least, you could almost imagine the recession never happened. Millions of the nation’s shoppers braved rain and cold to crowd stores while others grabbed online bargains on what could be the busiest Black Friday ever.

Early signs pointed to bigger crowds at many stores including Best Buy, Sears, Macy’s and Toys R Us, some of which had earlier openings than past years or even roundthe-clock hours.

But the most encouraging sign for retailing and for the economy was what Americans were throwing in their carts.

Shoppers still clutched lists and the buying frenzy was focused on the deals on TVs and toys, but many were treating themselves while they bought gifts for others, adding items like boots, sumptuous sweaters, jewelry and even dresses for special occasions.

Portuguese austerity plan fails to alleviate European debt crisis LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Europe struggled mightily Friday to keep the debt crisis from engulfing country after country.

Portugal passed austerity measures to fend off the speculative trades pushing it toward a bailout and Ireland rushed to negotiate its own imminent rescue.

As Portugal and Spain insisted they will not seek outside help, creating an eery sense of deja-vu for investors, Europe braced for what seems inevitable — more expensive bailouts.

The Portuguese Parliament approved an unpopular debtreducing package, including tax hikes and cuts in pay and welfare benefits.

But while that helped to avoid a sharper deterioration in bond markets, the sense among analysts was that the move had only bought a little time.

Adding to the pressure, Ireland’s major banks were hit with credit downgrades — one to junk bond status — as speculation mounted that the EUIMF bailout of Ireland, to be revealed within days, would require investors to take losses, a possibility earlier denied by officials.

“This confusing ‘pea-soup’ of indecision, vacillation and disunity by the EU is beginning to create unnecessarily seismic waves of fear in international bond and money markets,” said David Buik, markets analyst at BGC Partners. associated press

Obama stitched up after elbow hit

policemen take up position during an operation against drug traffickers in rio de Janeiro.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama needed 12 stitches in his upper lip after taking an errant elbow during a pickup basketball game Friday morning with family and friends visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday, the White House said.

First word of the injury came in a statement from press secretary Robert Gibbs nearly three hours after the incident.

The White House did not initially name the person who caused the injury, but identified him later Friday as Rey Decerega, director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

Obama received the stitches under local anesthesia in the doctor’s office on the ground floor of the White House after returning home.

Doctors used a smaller filament, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and leaves a smaller scar.

The president had gone to nearby Fort McNair to indulge in a game of basketball, one of his favorite athletic pursuits. It was a five-on-five contest involving family and friends. Among the players were Obama’s nephew, Avery Robinson, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Reggie Love, Obama’s personal assistant, who played at Duke University.

Rio police dig in for fight with drug gang RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Police searched homes and secured the perimeter of a Rio de Janeiro shantytown Friday that has long been a stronghold for drug gangs and a symbol of their ability to rule vast areas of the seaside city with impunity.

About 80 federal police officers joined state police in door-to-door searches in the Vila Cruzeiro slum as 800 military troops, trained in surrounding and isolating conflict areas, stood ready in their headquarters, 12 miles away, to back them up.

The area had been taken by law enforcement just hours before during a five-hour operation using armored vehicles and assault rifles.

After bulletproof vehicles had their tires blown out by gangs or were stymied by burning tires, police relied on armored personnel carriers equipped with caterpillar treads to roll over or push aside barriers and enter the fortified shantytown.

Officials trumpeted their victory Friday, hailing it as a sign of a new Rio.

that federal authorities said was the biggest ever is providing a recipe for another case that may be even bigger.

The current case is largely an extension of work that led to the arrest of Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam in October 2009. The Galleon investigation marked the first time that federal authorities used wiretaps in an insider trading probe.

Similarly, wiretaps led to the first arrest in the latest case. Don Ching Trang Chu, a consulting firm executive, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly providing private information about a company’s corporate earnings to a hedge fund.

The FBI this week searched the offices of three hedge funds and subpoenaed some of Wall Street’s most influential firms, including Janus Capital Group and SAC Capital.

The Galleon case has resulted in 23 arrests and 14 guilty pleas. Many of those arrested are cooperating in the latest investigation.

Third of South African men admit to raping JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A new survey says more than one in three South African men admit to having committed rape.

A 2010 study led by the government-funded Medical Research Foundation says that in Gauteng province, home to South Africa’s most populous city of Johannesburg, more than 37 percent of men said they had raped a woman. Nearly 7 percent of the 487 men surveyed said they had participated in a gang rape.

More than 51 percent of the 511 women interviewed said they’d experienced violence from men, and 78 percent of men said they’d committed violence against women.

LONDON (AP) — First came the royal engagement. Now — 10 days later — the first book.

“William and Kate: A Royal Love Story,” by The Sun newspaper’s royal reporter James Clench was published Friday in Britain, the first in a slew of new titles about the relationship between Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton.

Published by Harper Collins and The Sun — both owned by Rupert Murdoch — the book is scattered with photos by Arthur Edwards, the paper’s long-serving royal photographer.

It is one of several books on the royal romance in the works ahead of the April 29 wedding at Westminster Abbey.

They include one by celebrity journalist Andrew Morton, whose 1992 book “Diana: Her True Story” rocked the royal family and punctured the image of Princess Diana’s fairy-tale romance with Prince Charles with its details of bulimia, depression and infidelity.

“William and Kate: A Royal Love Story” — due to be published in the U.S. on Dec. 17 — is a more reverent affair. It charts the romance between “the boy who would one day be king” and “the middleclass girl who had harbored a crush on him since her school days.”

The book traces “the greatest love story of the century” from the couple’s first meeting at a university in Scotland. It claims that William’s nickname for Kate was Babykins, while she called him Big Willie.

She figured she could pull it off at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, too.

After all, “don’t ask, don’t tell” sounded a lot like how she had gotten through her teen years.

But something changed when she arrived at West Point two years ago. She felt the sting of guilt with every lie that violated the academy’s honor code.

Then, near the end of her first year, she found herself in a classroom discussion about gays in the military, listening to friends say gays disgusted them.

“I couldn’t work up the courage to foster an argument against what they were saying for fear of being targeted as a gay myself,” Miller told The Associated Press in an interview this week. “I had to be silent. That’s not what I wanted to become.”

What she has become is an unlikely activist for repealing the ban on gays serving openly in the military. She resigned from the academy in August and within days was one of the most prominent faces of the debate. Yet her greatest hope now is that she can return to the place she just left.

If hooves need trimming, Kenneth Shell’s the man to call

BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

enneth Shell takes off his gloves and grins. He grins a lot. “Step into my office,” says Shell, 39.

This morning, Shell’s “office” is the dairy barn at Piedmont Research Station.

Shell is one of a handful of men in the state who trim cow hooves, and he’s here for his bi-annual visit to trim hooves for the station’s 150 dairy cows.

Shell jokes that the work is glamorous but also says that it beats a real job all to pieces.

“Easy, lady,” he says, preparing to work on a cow with the tag of 109 in her ear.

He takes the cow by the tail — if you hold her tail, she can’t kick you — and guides her into a chute custom-built on the side of his Ford F-550.

With the help of an elaborate hydraulics system, the cow is lifted and placed on her side. She lays on an old, thick wrestling mat, immobilized.

“It’s all made for her comfort,” Shell says. “She isn’t in distress.”

The cow starts to moo softly as Shell goes to work. He uses a DeWalt grinder with a titanium carbide blade tip that does not produce heat on the cow’s hooves. It takes him less time to trim her hooves than it does to get her in the chute.

The contraption gently sets her back on her feet and she eagerly returns to the barn.

Dairy cows, Shell explains, are fed a high-protein diet so they’ll give more milk. Some kinds of feed make their hooves grow faster. Dairy cows also spend most of their time on concrete versus pasture land, so their hooves aren’t naturally worn away.

Shell spends about three days a week working at dairies. He has about two dozen clients.

“Once you get a dairyman and do a good job for him, he doesn’t change,” Shell says.

Easley fallout: Democrats in NC trying to shake legal scrutiny Speaker Jim Black.

Even more are still facing questions. Prosecutors have an investigation into current Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign finances. An investigation into former presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. John Edwards has also been showing signs of activity.

And in two weeks, the North Carolina elections board will examine whether former state Sen. Fred Hobbs made political contributions under the names of others.

RALEIGH (AP) — Democrats in North Carolina, struggling to retain the power they’ve held in state government for much of the past century, are also still trying to escape decade-long scrutiny from prosecutors.

Gov. Mike Easley this week became the latest leading Democrat convicted of a crime, agreeing this week to a plea deal and fine over improper campaign paperwork. Among others punished over the past several years include Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps, state Rep. Thomas Wright and ex-House

to compete effectively with Republicans, we can’t have this kind of political baggage,” said Joe Sinsheimer, a Democrat who has been critical of Perdue, Easley and other party leaders. He believes the legal questions are contributing to GOP gains in state government.

In this month’s election, Republicans surged to gain control of both the state House and state Senate for the first time in more than a century. While the party made gains throughout the country, they focused particularly in North Carolina on leveraging the investigations into a

political advantage.

Gary Pearce, a longtime Democratic strategist in North Carolina, argued the legal scrutiny damages the reputation of all politicians, not just one party. He expects the Republicans will start facing increased attention and questioning now that they are in charge.

Pearce said politicians need to be aware that more money is entering politics and that there is increased sensitivity to the issue in the law and the media.

“They’ve got to realize they’re in a new world,” Pearce said.

Easley’s plea this week, in which he acknowledged under the Alford doctrine that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him, focused on an unreported flight he took in 2006. Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly acted as the state prosecutor who concluded the case.

Easley had been previously fined $100,000 by the State Board of Elections for how he handled flight disclosures.

Perdue, who succeeded Easley as governor early last year, has also been fined by the elections board for problems with reporting flights.

Man jailed under $150,000 bond after being charged with attempted murder

BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury man was in the Rowan County jail Friday under a $150,000 secured bond for various charges, including attempted murder.

Jermail Blake, 31, of 1025 Grady St., was arrested early Thursday morning, and charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of stolen goods, resist/delay a public officer, second-degree trespassing, discharging a firearm into an occupied property with an officer inside, assault on a female and assault by pointing a gun.

According to Blake’s arrest report, the Salisbury

Kenneth shell uses a special chute that tilts on its side to get to the hooves without hurting the cow — and keeping shell safe.

PEDICURES FroM 4a uses, and the two of them built it, with Shell doing all the welding. It’s powered by a golf-cart motor and even has a pull-out canopy for shade if need be.

“He’s a real conscientious worker,” says Hall, who lives in Iredell County. “We work real good together. It’s an art and a science.”

Shell loves working for himself, and loves bringing along his son Harrison, 8, in the summertime and on weekends when he works on smaller beef cattle herds.

He recently did a demonstration at the fairground during an FFA dairy judging competition.

“Everybody thinks it’s interesting,” Shell says of his work, “but if you do it for 15 years, it’s not that interesting.”

Still, the job allows him to take Harrison to school every morning, go out to lunch with his dairymen, and essentially set his own hours.

He and his wife take turns looking after their daughters, Anna, 2, and Ashley, 1. Wendy Shell is a nurse at Rowan Regional Medical Center.

“We don’t do the daycare thing,” says Shell, whose mom also helps out with the girls.

Shell doesn’t mind work-

shell grinds away hoof material from a cow put in position to get the pedicure. He can trim 150 cows’ hooves in a day if he has a helper.

Police Department claims Blake attempted to kill Mornekia Blake and Zephora McDonald, at 1300 Old Concord Road, 4, Apt. Wednesday night, by shooting into the front door of the apartment.

BLAKE Police reported Blake also slapped Mornekia Blake in the face and punched her in the forehead. He also pointed a gun at her, and the police report indicated the gun — a 9 mm Ruger — was stolen.

Blake was charged with resisting arrest after he didn’t listen to the officers, according to the report.

Coast Guard rescues 2 from boat off coast ing on Saturdays — unless it’s deer season. Then you’ll find him and his son out in the field.

Back at the barn, Shell guides yet another cow in to the chute. He scrapes the dirt off her hooves and sets to work. Hoof chips start flying. They feel a lot like human fingernails.

“That’s about all there is to it,” Shell says, as the cow saunters off.

You do have to watch out for the “quick,” which will bleed if you trim too closely.

Shell also keeps an eye out

for hoof warts, which he sees at every dairy. He soon finds a cow that has one, and he covers the bloody wart with terramycin and a bright bandage. That will be removed in about five days.

Shell has often accompanied John Hall, his mentor, out to Hall’s dairy in Kentucky. Together, they can do 150 cows a day.

“You might do 100 cows a day by yourself,” Shell points out, “but you can’t do many the next day.”

Shell loves a job that keeps him outdoors. He and

Harrison “mess around” with goats and dogs at home, and fish in their large pond Shell dug a couple of summers ago.

He doesn’t complain about his work.

“Dairymen are good people,” Shell says. “And every woman likes a pedicure.”

“How many times you use that line?” asks Jon Lakey, Post photographer.

More than once, Shell allows, grinning.

RALEIGH (AP) — Sylvia Carter is not a student at N.C. State University, but she arrived at the D.H. Hill Library to embark on a scholarly research project: picking the ice cream flavors to serve at her wedding reception.

Carter, 64, shoved a plastic spoon into a mound of strawberry ice cream, purchased from the Creamery on the building’s ground floor. The ice cream is made on campus, and she made the trip to the library after falling for it at the N.C. State Fair.

“It is very creamy,” she said, her eyes wide with dairyinfused pleasure.

For many, Howling Cow ice cream is a once-a-year treat at the fair. Although scoops are available in the library and pints are sold at campus convenience stores, most of the ice cream is eaten by students.

N.C. State administrators soon hope to make it easier for more people to enjoy it, with a new on-campus building that would feature a storefront ice cream parlor. The scoop shop will have enough room to seat more than 100 customers in its indoor and outdoor seating areas, along with plenty of nearby parking for off-campus customers.

“Ice cream almost has this surreal quality,” said Gary D. Cartwright, director of the school’s dairy enterprise system. “It just makes people smile.”

Milk fat fans for decades have formed long lines outside the ice cream booth at the fair,

associated press

ice cream fans young and old will soon be able to enjoy N.c. state’s Howling cow year round. a project that benefits the N.C. State Food Science Club. For nearly all of that time, the fair was the only place that most die-hards could get it. With few exceptions, the State Fair being one of them, a law prohibits state agencies from competing with private businesses.

But people within the N.C. State food sciences department asked the legislature for an exemption, which was unanimously granted in 2005.

The law allows the university to sell ice cream to the public on campus, and led to plans for a $4 million annex to Schaub Hall, which would include the ice cream parlor.

Ground could be broken in 10 to 12 months.

N.C. State controls each aspect of its ice cream operations. Most of the cream comes from the 150 or so milk cows on the university’s farm off Lake Wheeler Road, with cows from the vet school contributing as well.

In addition to ice cream, the school processes milk for use in on-campus dining halls, prisons and other state institutions. This week, it started a seasonal run of eggnog. The facility in Schaub Hall, a block off Western Boulevard on the main campus, processes about 400,000 gallons of milk each year — about as much as the Maola creamery in New Bern produces in four days — and is responsible for approximately $1.7 million in revenue.

“Everything we make is plowed back into our operation,” Cartwright said.

The university began branding the ice cream and milk as Howling Cow in 2009.

Seeing competition Although the ice cream has plenty of fans — 3,000 gallons or so are sold each year during the fair — not everyone is happy about the school’s plans to expand its ice cream reach.

John Lenzmeier and his wife, Linda, opened a FreshBerry Frozen Yogurt Cafe on Hillsborough Street, across the street from Hill Library, in October. The couple were not aware of the planned ice cream parlor.

“If they want Hillsborough Street to come alive, they don’t need to be competition with us,” John said. “I’m definitely not in favor of it.”

Naming rights at stake The annex will cost about $4 million, of which $1 million has been raised so far, Cartwright said. Organizers hope to raise an additional $1.5 million through naming rights for various components of the project.

Plans calls for the construction to take place without taxpayer money, he said.

The ice cream parlor will occupy only part of the new building. The annex also will have rooms that can be used to provide training for people who work in the dairy industry.

Video monitors inside the ice cream parlor will show how the ice cream is made.

“The purpose is not to sell ice cream,” Cartwright said.

“The purpose is to provide education.”

Come early, shop late Laurels to downtown businesses that are keeping their doors open later on Friday evenings during the holiday season.

Sure, the Four Fridays theme (which continues through Dec. 17) is a way to attract more patrons and boost sales at participating stores. In staying open at least until 8 p.m., however, merchants also are giving a boost to the city as a whole. Shoppers are likely to come early, as well as stay late, and explore Salisbury’s many attractions. Merchants are also spreading the cheer by coordinating the Four Fridays campaign with charitable activities and children-oriented events scheduled throughout the holidays.

Downtown Salisbury is a charming place to shop, dine or browse any time of the year, but it’s especially picturesque when the holiday decorations come out.

Dart to the dangers of secondhand smoke, which received new attention this week with a World Health Organization study estimating secondhand smoke kills more than 600,000 people worldwide annually. The study found that the highest rates of exposure to secondhand smoke occur in Europe and Asia, especially among children. Researchers say the lower rates of exposure in Western countries confirm the effectiveness of restrictions on smoking in public places, such as North Carolina’s ban on smoking in restaurants and most bars. However, the study also points out that children and women remain particularly suceptible to second-hand smoke, in large part because of exposure in homes and automobiles.

Adults can freely decide whether to keep puffing away, but they shouldn’t underestimate the potential consequences for children, which include a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome, ear infections, pneumonia, bronchitis and asthma.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.

— W.C. Fields

Moderately confused

fter a few weeks alone on a lake (except for one weekend when my husband joined me), I was happy to be going back to “civilization,” hungry for the people and the life I love.

But I was also sorry to leave.

It’s hard to imagine two places of starker contrast than this tiny mountain paradise on the border of North and South Carolina, and the neon desert my husband and I call home, Sin City, Las Vegas of All Places.

I arrived at SHARON the lake in midRANDALL October, when leaves were just beginning to turn and the jet skiers of summer were gone.

“Quiet” doesn’t begin to describe it. No TV, no radio, no landline, a cell phone with iffy reception (“Can you hear me NOW?”) and only the occasional neighbor.

Most days, the only sounds I heard came from geese and ducks, wind and waves, and one persistent beaver that — late at night when I went out to count shooting stars — liked to slap his tail on the water to scare me.

I don’t scare easily. But that was one loud beaver.

The sights were something else. One evening I was watching a double sunset, one beyond the mountain, the other reflected on the lake. Suddenly I heard a whirring, deep and loud, like a helicopter by my ear. Ten yards away, a flock of geese flew by in V formation, silent except for the rhythmic beating of their wings and my heart.

The next morning, that same (I think) flock came honking, one by one, out of a thick layer of mist rising up off the lake.

Another day, as I sat on the dock, a woman glided by so close I could have touched her.

She wore loose pants, a jacket and a cone-shaped hat, and was standing up, I swear, paddling a surfboard. I thought I was hallucinating. Then she smiled and said good morning.

Each day brought a new photo op, as leaves turned shades of red and orange and gold and came swirling down to spatter the lake with their colors.

Ducks showed up twice a day demanding bread. Fish snagged the crumbs left by the ducks.

Rain would dimple the water, then the wind would splay the surface, smoothing it out like the hand of God. Clouds would part and the sun would shine like ... well, like the flashlight I used to find the keys I dropped in the bushes.

That’s how I discovered the camellia. It grew by the steps that zigzagged from the driveway to the cabin. I had noticed the buds when I first arrived, tried putting a few branches in warm water, hoping to force them to bloom. They turned into little brown fists.

Last night, I started putting a few things in the car to get ready to leave today. I was coming down the steps when I dropped my keys in the bushes.

Two things gave me hope.

First, I had a flashlight (thanks to my husband, who’d bought it for me). And second, it was too cold for snakes. Probably.

Did you ever find something wonderful, something that made you happy, when you were half out of your mind, looking for something else?

Finding the keys was a relief. But it was the camellia that made me smile; a single, perfect bloom that had opened, I was sure of it, just for me.

“To every thing there is a season,” Ecclesiastes tells us, “and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

Leaves fall, geese fly, flowers bloom when they will, children grow up and we grow older.

We can’t hurry life or hold it back. But we can try to take each season as it comes and enjoy it in all its beauty while it lasts.

I picked the camellia and put it in a vase for the new renters. I hope it makes them happy.

All wrongdoing doesn’t equate to criminality ALEIGH — It was a compelling and unprecedented moment in North Carolina politics.

Mike Easley — a two-term governor, twoterm attorney general, and former district attorney — stood before a Wake County judge and entered a plea of guilty. He answered the judge’s questions clearly, but his voice shook as he uttered the words that made him a felon.

For Easley critics and defenders alike, it was bittersweet. While the former governor was ending his public career as a felon, things could have gone far worse for him. Indeed, some had predicted Easley would face indictment on various state and federal charges, facing the possibility of massive fines and a prison sentence. Instead, as part of his plea bargain, Easley will be convicted of just one felony, JOHN pay a $1,000, and lose his law HOOD license, perhaps permanently.

Thus some critics are outraged. Given what Carolina Journal, the Raleigh News & Observer, and other media outlets have reported about Easley’s political and personal behavior, how could he end up with a single conviction and a nominal fine?

Easley defenders, a much smaller group, are also upset. They claim that the governor was the victim of unfair treatment by a hostile media. The case ended with a “whimper” rather than a “bang,” said Easley’s defense attorney, because he was never the corrupt politician his critics said he was.

Unless state and federal prosecutors choose to explain more about the negotiations that led up to the plea bargain, it is difficult to know for certain why Easley received the deal he did. But judging by what state District Attorney Bill Kenerly and U.S. Attorney George Holding did say, here’s how I think the agreement should be understood.

First, no one should ever make the mistake of equating wrongdoing with criminality.

Many actions can be inappropriate, unethical, and corrupt without rising to the level of an act meriting prosecution. The mountains of evidence that Mike and Mary Easley derived personal financial benefit from political donors cannot be disintegrated by the vociferous denials of high-priced defense attorneys.

The governor clearly got a sweetheart deal on a lot in Cannonsgate. But the coastal development didn’t prove to be sufficiently attractive to other buyers, so the land deal went south and he pocketed no gain. It is also quite possible that prosecutors lacked enough evidence to prove a quid pro quo, thus rendering the episode unseemly and unethical but not criminal.

The governor also pulled strings to get his wife a job at N.C. State University, a job in which she was overpaid and underperformed.

The chancellor and provost lost their jobs as a result. It was a gross waste of taxpayer resources — but again, that’s not necessarily a crime.

Former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley speaks during a Tuesday hearing at the Wake County Courthouse in Raleigh. Easley agreed to pay a $1,000 fine for a single campaign finance violation, ending investigations by state and federal prosecutors.

As to violations of campaign-finance law, the state board of elections had already concluded that they occurred and fined the Easley campaign $100,000, most of which hasn’t been paid. In calling Easley to testify at its hearings, however, the elections board triggered an odd state law that appeared to give the former governor criminal immunity on matters about which he testified at the hearing.

In his statement, Kenerly referred to the elections board’s action as playing a role in his decision to offer Easley a plea to a single count of failing to report a donated helicopter flight — a flight that, unlike other free flights, had not been the subject of Easley’s testimony and thus arguably wouldn’t have been covered by any immunity.

Sometimes criminal suspects aren’t charged, or if taken to trial aren’t convicted, because law enforcement screws up. That’s the most charitable explanation for why the elections board failed to take the necessary steps to keep Easley from claiming immunity in a later criminal proceeding, which his lawyers were apparently prepared to do.

In short, some of Easley’s misconduct while in office was improper but not prosecutable given the legal situation. But he faced indictment on other matters, so he copped a plea.

Try as they might, Easley’s defenders can’t spin their way out of this: North Carolina’s former governor is a felon.

SALISBURY POST

Young farmers face uncertainty in quest for independence

BY ANN BELSER Michael Moose was standing on rented land in mid-November. His finger was bleeding and he was waiting for his dad to return with a hydraulic pump for fixing a tractor older than he is.

At 34, he has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and experience as a police officer but, Moose said, he grew up farming. He has struck out on his own, building a farm in northwestern Pennsylvania’s Mercer County from the ground up.

So has Paul Critchlow Jr., named for his dad, the last dairy farmer on Route 8 between Pittsburgh and Erie, Pa. The 31-year-old tried working in landscaping and in paving and concrete. He even had his own business trimming hooves.

Then a farmer in Butler County’s Mercer Township, near Critchlow’s father’s farm, was getting out of the dairy business. Under articles of agreement, Critchlow and his wife Marla have purchased the cows and the equipment, and have 10 years to buy the land.

While high tech start-ups generate buzz, thousands of people like Moose and Critchlow are going into business for themselves in a more traditional way: with land and livestock.

It’s hard to go into farming. Once someone gets in, it’s nearly impossible to get out.

In the bad years when farmers would want to get out, Critchlow explained, there’s no market for the equipment or livestock. In the good years, no one wants to sell.

“It’s not the most profitable industry around,” said Charlene Berg, a loan officer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency. “It’s a lifestyle choice. It’s debt management.”

The government offers

“It’s not the most profitable industry around. It’s a lifestyle choice.”

CHARLENE BERG USDA Farm Service Agency loan officer

loans to beginning farmers.

Berg explained that’s anyone with less than 10 years of actual farming experience. To qualify, a farmer has to have at least a year of experience, either by running a farm for at least a year, sometimes risking his or her own capital, or by running someone else’s farm.

Moose started small, renting land and hiring other farmers to use their equipment. With federal loans, he purchased his own used equipment so he can now sow the seeds and harvest the land. Now he doesn’t have to pay for labor, and he can do the job the way he likes it.

“I’m kind of a perfectionist,” he said.

Last year, he lost 60 percent of his crop to blackbirds.

This year, he lost about 18 rows of corn to deer and a bear.

Critchlow, like many dairy farmers, can quote the same statistic: Milk prices in 2009 were the same as they were in 1979. The price is set by the state’s Milk Marketing Board based on a formula that most dairy farmers believe involves either darts or a Ouija board.

Critchlow produces fluid milk — a high grade of milk used for drinking, cream and butter. While this year hasn’t been great for milk prices, they have come in over costs.

The Critchlows still have debt from 2008 and 2009.

Marla Critchlow, Paul Jr.’s wife, has a side job as Mercer Township’s tax collector. But the decision to take over a

farm was not an economic one. It was a way for the couple to raise a family in a lifestyle they prized. Their children — ages 4, 3 and 3 months — were all born after they started farming.

The first year, they lived in a trailer off site and drove over to work the farm’s 87 acres and milk 18 cows at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. The next year, they moved to the farmhouse. “Life became a lot easier,” Marla Critchlow said.

Moose’s 220 acres of rented farm land are on several separate parcels in Mercer County. He parks his equipment at his grandfather’s farm when he is not using it.

Neither Moose nor Critchlow qualified for bank loans without collateral to back up equipment purchases.

Critchlow said banks rejected his loan applications.

Then he filled out a stack of papers for the Farm Service Agency Loan.

Berg said banks don’t understand farmers anymore.

She said the agency has pools of money for any farmer who cannot meet a bank’s lending criteria.

Farm ownership loans are available to buy farmland, to build or improve farm buildings or to promote soil or water conservation.

In addition to seed and fertilizer, for which dealers will charge up to 18 percent interest, farm operating loans can be used to buy livestock, equipment, feed and chemicals.

Moose is also at the mercy of corn prices: He doesn’t have a silo to store corn, so when he gets it out of the field, he has to sell it, which is generally when everyone else is selling and the price is the lowest.

Someday he would like his own silos. “The goal,” Moose said, “is to get the equipment paid for. Then get a little bit of ground.”

Thanksgiving argument leads to fatal shooting CONNELLY SPRINGS (AP) — Authorities say an argument on Thanksgiving morning led a North Carolina man to fatally shoot his stepfather.

Timothy Paul Bumgarner of Connelly Springs has been charged with murder in the death of Filiberto Rubio. The Burke County Sheriff’s Office says witnesses reported that the two had been drinking and were arguing early Thursday when the dispute escalated.

Officers arrived at the scene to find Rubio dead on the back deck of the home. Bumgarner had left the scene but the 28-year-old later emerged from a wooded area and surrendered. Bumgarner is being held under no bond.

He is set to have his first court appearance in Morganton on Monday, and it wasn’t immediately known if he had an attorney.

Volunteers hope to lure shore birds back to the beach WILMINGTON (AP) — Some volunteers hope that removing some plants will prompt shore birds to return to a North Carolina coastal island.

The StarNews of Wilmington reported that Audubon North Carolina volunteers plan to use shovels and rakes next month to remove vegetation from the north end of Wrightsville Beach.

Andy Wood with Audubon North Carolina says thinning the plants should help bring

birds back to the Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area.

He says Mason Inlet has been managed

by New Hanover County to avoid threatening expensive property on the north side of Wrightsville Beach. But Wood says that protection has prevented waves from clearing out plants for birds that like sandy, vegetation-free areas.

Wood says only about three acres of the 300-acre sanctuary will be cleared to provide the birds with nesting areas.

Artifacts to be unveiled Dec. 3 at Alamance battleground BURLINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Artifacts from wars in the 18th and 19th centuries will be unveiled publicly for the first time at Alamance Battleground State Historic Site.

The state Department of Cultural Resources says the discoveries include part of a flintlock musket, buttons and musket shot.

The discoveries include artifacts from a pre-Revolutionary conflict as well as the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The artifacts were found during archaeological explorations at the site which have taken place over the last year. Historians, archaeologists and volunteers have examined over 300,000 square feet of the battlefield.

The artifacts will be unveiled on Dec. 3.

SALISBURY — Robert Cordell Shipman, 76, of Salisbury, passed away Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010, at Magnolia Gardens in Spencer. Arrangements are incomplete with Cremation Concepts of Salisbury in charge.

Co-founder of Libertarian Party dies at 66 TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — David F. Nolan, who cofounded the national Libertarian Party and helped guide it for four decades while remaining active in politics as a candidate, including a recent run for the U.S. Senate, has died. He was 66.

Nolan died Sunday in Tucson, where he lived, according to a statement released Friday by party.

His vehicle was found off the side of a roadway on Saturday evening, and emergency crews had to break in to help him, the party said. He died in a hospital the next day of unknown causes.

Nolan helped found the Libertarian Party with a group of colleagues in Colorado on Dec. 11, 1971. He remained a member of the Libertarian National Committee until his death.

“He not only helped found the Libertarian Party but remained active and helped to guide our party for the last 40 years,” Mark Hinkle, chairman of the Libertarian Party, said in the statement. “We are now the third-largest political party in America, and one of the most persistent and successful third parties in American history, thanks in large part to David Nolan.”

Man wounded in police standoff CHARLOTTE (AP) — Charlotte police are investigating the wounding of a man during a standoff with officers. Officers were sent to a home late Thanksgiving morning after getting a suicide threat.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say they found L.C. Furtick, 69, in his home with a handgun. A negotiator talked with him on the phone

as officers surrounded the house.

Police say Furtick walked out with the phone in one hand and a gun in the other. Officers told him to put the gun down but police say he lowered the phone and raised the gun.

Police say an officer fired twice, hitting Furtick in the lower body. He was taken to Carolinas Medical Center for treatment.

finished shopping in less than 15 minutes. As they were checking out, someone at a front register had Alex’s lost sneaker waiting to be claimed.

They looked at their various receipts before heading to the parking lot. Brandon’s receipt showed savings of $435; Alex’s, $250; and MacKenzie’s, $26.49. Brittany said she knew she had saved at least $100 on the camera.

Brandon, 27, and Alex, 23, started their Black Friday shopping seven years ago.

“There’s never been that many people,” Alex said of this year’s crowd.

“Next year, we’re going to have to get here at lunchtime (of the day before),” Brandon added.

The group pitched a tent next to the entrance door after their arrival Thursday afternoon. They had a propane tank for heat, though conditions were almost balmy overnight — one of the more comfortable Black Friday vigils one could ask for.

To pass some time, they played card games such as Uno. They also had pillows and blankets, though no one other than Levi, a West Rowan Middle School student, took a nap.

“One guy in line said he recognized us from last year,” Alex said. The brothers also had claimed the front spot in line in 2009 at this same Super Target.

The group went over its plans one more time and readied for the rush.

“It’s kind of like bull-chasing, you know,” MacKenzie said.

No one was trampled in this Black (and Blue) Friday.

After it was all over, the members of the Hiatt group still faced loading their vehicles. Chrisco’s Kia Sorrento was packed tight with the televisions and appliances from both Wal-Mart and Super Target.

It was 4:40 a.m., and the shopping wasn’t over. The group was headed for the Carolina Mall in Concord and K mart in Salisbury before calling it a morning.

Alex Hiatt predicted MacKenzie and Levi would be sleeping before they ever got back home. MacKenzie didn’t protest.

“I’ll sleep until it’s time to get ready for the football game,” she said.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A sophisticated cross-border tunnel equipped with a rail system, ventilation and fluorescent lighting has been shut down by U.S. and Mexican officials — the second discovery of a major underground drug passage in San Diego this month, authorities said Friday.

The tunnel found Thursday is 2,200 feet long — more than seven football fields — and runs from the kitchen of a home in Tijuana, Mexico, to two warehouses in San Diego’s Otay Mesa industrial district, said Mike Unzueta, head of investigations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego.

In Mexico, the tunnel’s cinderblock-lined entry dropped 80 to 90 feet to a wood-lined floor, Unzueta said. From the U.S. side, there was a stairway leading to a room about 50 feet under-

ground that was full of marijuana.

“It’s a lot like how the ancient Egyptians buried the kings and queens,” Unzueta said.

Authorities seized more than 20 tons of marijuana.

Unzueta said the tunnel discovered Thursday and another found in early November are believed to be the work of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, headed by that country’s most-wanted drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

“We think ultimately they are controlled by the same overall cartel but that the tunnels were being managed and run independently by different cells operating within the same organization,” Unzueta said.

The passage found Thursday is one of the most advanced to date, with an entry shaft in Mexico lined with cinderblocks and a rail system for drugs to be carried

on a small cart, Unzueta said.

Three men were arrested in the United States, and the Mexican military raided a ranch in Mexico and made five arrests in connection with the tunnel, authorities said.

U.S. authorities have discovered more than 125 clandestine tunnels along the Mexican border since the early 1990s, though many were crude and incomplete.

U.S. authorities do not know how long the latest tunnel was operating. Unzueta said investigators began to look into several warehouses in June on a tip that emerged from a large bust of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

The discovery of the cross-border tunnel earlier this month marked one of the largest marijuana seizures in the United States, with agents confiscating 20 tons of mari-

They include Tim Greenwood (green shirt), Mike Meyerhoeffer (white hat), Jim Murtaugh (white T-shirt), Tony Nussman (gray T-shirt) and Rob Watts (tan shirt), who heads up ongoing disaster relief efforts at First United Methodist Church of Salisbury.

After Katrina

First Methodist Church continues disaster relief mission efforts in Mississippi — and elsewhere

BY SUSAN JENSEN For The Salisbury Post

uring a disaster relief trip to Mississippi recently, the team from First United Methodist Church in Salisbury stopped at a convenience store to get snacks. A woman pulled up in her car, got out and hugged team leader Rob Watts, sobbing.

“I can’t believe you are all still coming here!” she said. “God bless you!”

The Disaster Relief Ministry of First United Methodist Church has made seven trips to Mississippi to help victims of Hurricane Katrina rebuild since 2005, and will continue as long as there is great need.

Many of the victims of Hurricane Katrina are still living in FEMA trailers, and there is still much rebuilding to be done.

First Methodist youth groups have made two trips with adult chaperones. Volunteers stay at Camp St. Paul, which continues to host people from churches all over the country. Because of the nature of this flood zone, permanent barracks and a permanent warehouse with communication have been set up in Van Cleve, Miss., by the national Methodist organization.

Watts noted that everyone involved in the church is contributing to disaster relief whenever they donate to the church.

“One unique thing about our church is that we’ve got a line item in the mission budget to support these teams,” Watts says. “Of all the teams I’ve run across, I’ve never seen that. It’s just a special thing about our church. If you give to the church, you’re a part of the team.”

The current disaster relief budget allows for two to three volunteer trips a year.

In addition to assisting Katrina victims, the disaster relief ministry has helped with flood relief in Georgia, Greenville, N.C. and Tennessee. In January, a team will return to Georgia to help with the devastating aftermath of September flooding, when about 26 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in some places.

The team traveled to Dulac, La. in 2009 after Hurricane Rita and helped a Cajun shrimper who needed porches put onto his trailer.

FEMA will not allow people to rebuild a home that is destroyed more than 50 percent.

For those whose homes can be rebuilt, attention is given first to people who do not have home insurance but do have the money to buy raw building materials. After those people are helped, attention is given to those who need the church to purchase the raw materials as well as supply the labor. Many people have parked their FEMA trailers on their old homesites so that they can hook into their own sewage/water lines.

“Government aid runs out for disaster survivors,” Watts says.“When people volunteer their time, energy and buy materials themselves, they not only ensure that the aid will get to those who need it, they ensure the aid will continue as long as it is needed.

“This is a true discipleship in Christ. As long as we are needed, we will continue to help out.”

Being involved in the gulf clean-up has been a moving experience for Watts. Seeing the devastation initially was overwhelming, he says.

But seeing how people around the country have responded and how things have improved, little by little, has been encouraging.

“To see the dynamics of the community of faith, to see the thousands and thousands of teams ... it restored my faith in humanity,” he said. “It kind of made you feel like a miracle was going on.”

art of our Judeo-Christian upbringing is that we have an innate trust in close family, dear friends, nearby neighbors and industrious youth. Most of the time we live in that mindset, and we have no cause to question such logic.

However, the other day my wife and I and a host of had our REV. DAVID neighbors trust severely NELSON damaged. We were scammed. A perky young lady came to our door seeking our help so that she could earn some extra money to take an abbreviated winter semester in London to study the British perspective on journalism.

It was a valuable elective as part of her program at East Carolina University.

I had heard about these type of appeals that were simply a way to get people to identify with the student and buy a book or sign up for a magazine subscription. Basically these are legitimate but poor investments. Usually the buyer feels sorry for the student and is taken in by the program to be supportive of the believable student.

I expressed my skepticism but the young lady assured me that it was a legitimate cause. She even told us that her grandmother lives in this Hidden Creek development. She said that she understood that soliciting was not allowed, but since her grandmother lives here she thought it would be all right. She even gave us the name of her grandmother.

Hearing that information, I invited her in to sit on my couch while I looked over the books that she was marketing. She showed me that she would earn $14 on a $40 book. Then she came with the clinching information that the children's books could be bought for the Brenner Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem. That sounded quite convincing, and I could even deduct $26 as a charitable donation to the hospital on this year's taxes.

So my wife and I picked a book that was suited for someone in the third grade. I wrote a check for the book plus a $15 add-on for shipping and handling to Brenner.

I gave her my check to the listed company, and she gave me a receipt. In leaving, we asked a few questions about her grandmother which she seemed to answer quite well. We had the feeling that we knew who her grandmother was and had no cause to doubt that she was staying with her in order to raise enough money for her part in the English study program.

She contended that her grandmother was going to pay half of the costs.

The writer in Psalm 101, verses 7-8, speaks of “the person that practices deceit as one who does not dwell in the house of the Lord, and no one who utters lies shall dwell in my presence, says the Lord.” Our visitor went through our neighborhood getting neighbors to help her cause because she could claim others had bought and her grandmother lived near by. The implication was that she was a credible, trustworthy person. We learned the next day that it was all based on deceit. Our checks could now become valuable items for scam artists to secure numbers, addresses, etc. besides the money value on our check. Our neighbors, family, and friends were taken advantage of by our innate trust, acceptance, and willingness to be of help.

In short, we were all taken in.

What a blow to our trust of energetic youth. The cunning of falsehood, however, is not going to change our feelings about the majority of our youth, neighbors, and friends. We were scammed. It simply hurts to realize that our trust had been violated. We will still admire, encourage, and trust our youth who are good conversationalists, evidently energetic, and motivated to improve. We simply know that next time, we will be more diligent. We will not be taken in by deceitful intent and smooth talk. We will base our trust on real fact and not smooth and convincing talk that is based on misleading fabrications. So, we live and learn.

Johnathan, You were named “Johnathan” because it means “Gift from God.” You have truly been a gift to me. You have brought so much happiness to my life. You have made me smile even when I didn’t think I could.

You will be leaving on Wednesday, Dec. 1, for a twoyear mission with Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I will not see you or that wonderful smile during these next two years but I will always have it in my heart.

You have an amazing desire and passion to serve your Heavenly Father and you will be a great missionary.

I will put you in the hands of our Father in Heaven now and pray for you and for your safe return. I pray your mission will be everything you want it to be and more. I will miss you terribly, but the love I have for you, your happiness and your obedience to your Heavenly Father will bring me comfort during this time.

I would like to ask all of Johnathan’s family, friends and anyone whose life has been touched by Johnathan to keep him in our prayers, that he will have a memorable mission and a safe return back to all of us.

Love you lots and lots, Mom R124374

A time to give thanks t seems almost impossible, but we are entering the holiday season. The holiday parades are happening all around. The malls are decked out and for some the Christmas shopping has already begun. Once DOUG we pass HalCREAMER loween it seems we are pushed right into the Christmas season. But I want to encourage everyone to stop and take a few moments to give thanks over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Many people will travel great distances to spend time with family and friends over the next week.

When we get together let’s not forget to take a few moments to reflect on how lucky we are to have families and friends. I know we will all be thankful for all the delicious foods that will be made and for those who will work for many hours to prepare the feast for us.

Hopefully there will be an opportunity to share some laughs and spin a few tales of the year that is quickly slipping away.

When things are going well, it seems easy to have a thankful heart. For many of us we need to be thankful that we have a job and that we are able to pay the bills. There are many simple blessings that we all need to stop and appreciate in this day and time. If you have a place to call home, a vehicle that runs, food for the table, and the love of family and friends you are a very blessed individual.

be able to turn their situations around. I am amazed at their attitude because they are thankful for each and every day. Life isn’t easy but they are finding a joy and a peace which is wonderful. They will eat and enjoy this Thanksgiving meal with profound gratitude.

I know that there are some people who are going through financial difficulties because of our economic situation. Some of the stories are heartbreaking because families are suffering through no fault of their own. Even in these crazy, difficult times some of the families are still hopeful. They believe that God is good and that he will take care of them. They can prove that because he has been taking care of them through these turbulent times. They will eat dinner on Thanksgiving with true thanks to God. I learned something in church I should have already known. There are several situations in the Bible where we are told to be thankful for God’s answer before we receive it.

We are told to seek God with prayer and thanksgiving. That means we are asking God for something we need and then in the next breath we are thanking him for the answer.

What happens when the answer doesn’t come right away? The Bible still tells us to be thankful and I believe we should be thankful because we know God will answer.

I can’t think of a time when God didn’t answer a prayer. Sometimes the answer he gave was no, but he did answer. The Bible teaches us to ask, be thankful, and then we will be given his peace. We will need his peace if his plan is for us to wait. But the wonderful thing is his peace sur-

passes all understanding and it can guard our hearts and our minds. Then we will be able to wait for God’s answer to our prayers.

Having a thankful heart can change the outlook on our lives. It’s natural to be thankful for what God has already done. But when we are thankful for what we are asking him to do, we are exercising our faith.

We believe that God is good and that he will respond to our requests. The truth is God loves us more than we can understand and he cares about our needs.

Knowing that he will meet them and exceed our expectation should lead us to a place of thanks.

I want to encourage you to think of at least five things God has done for you in the last year and thank Him. Now I want you to think about three things that are heavy on your heart, that you have prayed about, and begin to thank him for whatever answer he is going to send. We serve a mighty God who deserves to be praised and thanked for all that he has done for us. So whether you do it alone or while sitting with loved ones at a table of delicious food, take a few moments to give thanks. • • • Doug Creamer teaches Marketing at East Davidson High School.

Ultimately, he spent 1½ years in prison on drug charges.

“While in prison, I decided I didn't want to do (that) anymore,” he said.

He got out and enrolled in Home Sweet Home's Threshold program, designed to help homeless people become independent. He tried to find a job, but his felony conviction closed most of the doors.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) — Mike Spotts was so proud of the appetizer he recently prepared, he took a picture of it and sent it to his mom.

“His chicken galantine was superb,” said Paul Stroup, chef at Second Presbyterian Church and Spotts' teacher and mentor. “These guys are showing such great promise.”

Spotts, 34, and three other Home Sweet Home Ministries clients are the first students of 2PC Culinary Arts Training Academy recently started at the downtown Bloomington church. The 16-week program includes classroom and handson training in culinary arts.

For Spotts, Maurice Yu' Cutnoe, Robert Baird and Daniel Huyck, it's a chance to reclaim their lives. “God seemed to open the window after the door was shut,” said Spotts.

Spotts said that after he was laid off from his job as a computer technician in Philadelphia a few years ago, he started getting into a lot of trouble. He moved to the Twin

Do all that you can to improve your job performance in the coming months, because when you do, it could lead to several peripheral advantages you otherwise would never receive. The more you do, the further it will get you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you have to choose between doing something acceptable for appearance’s sake and doing something that offers personal benefits, you might find it difficult to select. Choose wisely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When it comes to anything important, such as matters having to do with your job or family, do not rush to judgment. Your immediate impression might be biased and off course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Think all of your moves through carefully, and don’t be afraid to ask questions before making any kind of investment. Your financial security could be a bit fragile and uncertain.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Concentrating on problems that merely might happen instead of focusing on what is at hand now is a waste of time. Handle what is right in front of you and let tomorrow take care of itself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — People are depending upon you to be a conveyor of constructive information that won’t lead them astray, so don’t pretend to have knowledge that you don’t possess.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s impossible to resolve an anguished misunderstanding with a friend until you are ready to forgive and forget. Don’t nurture anger and gloom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Ground you’ve already gained can be lost again if you bring in persons whose goals are not in harmony with yours. The wrong associates will only cause confusion and loss.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When involved in an important commercial transaction, double-check all the facts and figures before signing on the dotted line. Indifference or carelessness could cost you a bundle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It could prove to be unwise to reveal your business strategy to someone who is not directly involved.

This person could come in contact with your competitor and innocently reveal your game plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even if you can’t do anything about it, give some thought as to how you might possibly mend a relationship that is now on its last legs. If your ideas have merit, they might work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There are indications that you might put your foot in your mouth today, so, when dealing with others, be mindful of this and keep yourself from saying anything that would be better left unsaid.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take your mind off of acquiring material desires and focus only on protecting priceless intangibles such as friendships and family. The results will be far more gratifying.

Some ways to improve in 10 simple lessons

Cosmetic dentist criticizes ADHD advice

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

David Bird from England is one of the world’s most prolific bridge writers. His latest book is “10 More Ways to Improve Your Bridge” (Weidenfeld & Nicolson). There are three bidding topics: Roman Key Card Blackwood, Jacoby two-no-trump forcing majorsuit raise, and Lebensohl. Five lessons are devoted to declarer-play and two to defense.

Each lucidly written chapter has a concluding quiz so that the reader can check whether he got the idea.

In this deal from the book, you are in three no-trump.

West leads the spade seven.

What would be your plan?

When in no-trump, always start by counting your top tricks. Here you have seven: one spade, two diamonds and four clubs. And you can get two more tricks from hearts.

What is the danger?

That the defenders take four spades and one heart. So assume West has five spades and East two.

If East has the heart ace, you can duck the first trick,

take the spade return, and drive out that ace. Here, though, this works badly, West getting in to cash the rest of his spade suit.

Would that be unlucky? No! Apply the Rule of Eleven. Seven from 11 is four. There are four spades higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. Since you can see three, East has only one high spade, which must be an honor. (If it were the eight, West would have led the king, not the seven, from a suit headed by the K-Q-J.) And if East has honor-doubleton, you can block their suit by winning immediately with dummy’s spade ace. Then play a heart and cruise home.

Baltimore show as a way to look at the problems big cities in America face.

The class was taught by Peter Beilenson, an adjunct professor, and uses the 60 episodes of the show as a textbook.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your advice on ADHD treatments that included only medications and the avoidance of sugar. Are you unaware that upper airway obstruction is more often the cause? Removal of the tonsils and adenoids has been shown to be much more effective than medication at improving DR. PETER symptoms of ADHD. You GOTT are doing a disservice to your readers by not mentioning the No. 1 most effective treatment. Oxygen is that important!

DEAR READER: I see from your e-mail that you are a doctor, and, being curious, I decided to look you up on the Internet. Turns out (based on your name and given e-mail address) that you are a cosmetic dentist.

Given that and the additional research I did on the subject of ADHD and airway obstruction, I must take your advice with a grain of salt.

To the best of my knowledge, a cosmetic dentist doesn’t and shouldn’t diagnose or treat ADHD or upper airway obstruction. Further, you do not give any indication where you found that surgery is helpful in treating ADHD (whereas it is known to be beneficial for those with breathing issues).

After some digging, I

was able to locate some references to a small study done by the University of Michigan.

These reports were from early 2006, which likely mean that the study was done some time in 2003 to early 2005 (in order to give the researchers time to review the information, write the report and submit it for publishing). I could not, however, locate the actual study. This doesn’t mean it’s not out there, simply that I could not find it within a reasonable amount of search time.

To simplify, the study was very small and involved only 105 children. Of that, 78 children were the test group that underwent tonsil and adenoid removal for breathing issues.

The remaining 27 children were the control group that underwent some other type of surgery. Two children in the control group had previously received a diagnosis of ADHD, whereas 22 of the test group had received the same diagnosis. Parents did report increased incidences of sleep and behavioral issues in the children with the airway obstruction.

One year after surgery, half of the children who had received a diagnosis of ADHD no longer had it. Those who would like to read more about study can go to the following link for more information: http://www.webmd.com/addadhd/news/20060403/tonsilsurgery-helps-kids-adhd.

In the end, while some children did improve following surgery, this was a very small test. It also shows that not all children will improve after having surgery (though most

did show improvement in their sleeping disorders).

I believe it is not only unethical, but it is irresponsible to be telling everyone that surgery can cure ADHD. Not all children who have ADHD have a breathing/sleeping disorder. Not all children with both conditions will experience a cure or even improvement from either or both following surgery.

I am not discounting the fact that sleeping and breathing issues are much more common in children with ADHD and vice versa, but I am saying it is too early in the game to be saying this one solution is the end all as far as treatment options are concerned. Even the ADHD information on the website says there is no surgical treatment for ADHD and recommends the same or similar treatment options as I gave in my previous article.

DEAR DR. GOTT: In a recent

article, someone was asking why they started vomiting and having gas after having had surgery the day before. I have experienced this after some of my surgeries and for me, it was that I can’t tolerate certain pain medications. Once I am switched to one I can handle, everything gets better.

Just an idea, for what it’s worth. I always read your column and enjoy it.

DEAR READER: Your idea definitely has merit. Medication sensitivity can cause a host of difficulties, including stomach upset, itching, nausea, allergic reaction and more. Pain medication, especially narcotics, is especially known for causing gastric issues in some users and addiction (typically in chronic users).

I have printed your letter as a reminder to patients that it is important to write down all medications, dosages, frequency of use, etc.

Falcons impressed Beecher

Sherrill throws 5 TDs in West win

BY JOSH HOKE sports@salisburypost.com

MOUNT ULLA — Ninety minutes prior to kickoff, Concord quarterback B.J. Beecher was showcasing the skills that may make him a prized recruit in the Class of 2013. His long, lean frame zipped accurate spirals all over the field during pregame.

Things rarely went as well once the game actually started. The sophomore had put up big numbers in the Spiders’ pass-first offense this season, but he was held to 14-of-28 passing, throwing for 176 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in a 48-28 loss to West Rowan in the 3A playoffs Friday.

Beecher had tears in his eyes after the game, but they were as much from frustration as disappointment. The Falcons utilized a bevy of coverages, moving their talented players in the secondary around like chess pieces.

As a result, Concord never found its offensive rhythm in the first half, allowing the Falcons to open up a sizeable advantage that was ultimately the difference.

“They really changed it up,” said Beecher, who threw touchdowns to Terrence Knox and Jacquise Moore and rushed for two scores. “You had to look at half of the field to see what was open. They are good.

They are the best we’ve played.”

Still, West Rowan knew that Beecher and Co. could make plays if given the time and space to do so. Moore entered the game averaging more than 22 yards per reception, and it was obvious the Falcons weren’t going to let him beat them deep. His 76-yard touchdown reception clinched Concord’s victory over Carson last week.

With that in mind, West Rowan played much of the first half with two deep safeties and dropped both corners into zone coverage.

“We’ve got some pretty good secondary kids,” West coach Scott Young said.

B.J. sherrill shows some emotion as he looks toward the sidelines in West’s third-round victory.

ECU falls in OT Associated Press

GREENVILLE — Two years reSMU 45 moved from ECU 38 a one-win season, Southern Methodist is headed to the Conference USA championship game.

Zach Line scored on a short touchdown run in overtime and Richard Crawford followed with the game-ending interception to help SMU beat East Carolina 45-38 on Friday, clinching a spot in next week’s title game in a dramatic finish.

On a day when the Mustangs (7-5, 6-2) both rallied from a 14-point deficit and blew a 14-point lead, Line scored on a 1-yard run to start

the overtime and put SMU ahead for good. Then Crawford came up with the huge defensive play by stepping in front of Lance Lewis and catching Dominique Davis’ quick slant throw.

The play sent SMU players spilling onto the field to celebrate with Crawford, who after being tackled raced all the way to the end zone with his teammates in pursuit.

SMU went 1-11 in Jones’ first year, then shared the league’s West Division crown with Houston last year. This time, SMU earned at least a share of the division title with Friday’s win.

Next up: either Central Florida or Southern Mississippi for the program’s first league championship since

MOUNT ULLA — B.J. Sherrill’s W. Rowan 48 five firstConcord 28 half touchdown passes tied Mario Sturdivant’s single-game county record and gave West Rowan a commanding lead over Concord in a 3A state quarterfinal Friday night.

Sherrill celebrated more enthusiastically following a fourth-quarter touchdown run that ended a comeback bid in West’s 48-28 victory.

A spot in next week’s Western final at home against Hibriten, a 31-20 winner over Asheville, wasn’t secure until the closing minutes even though the Falcons (14-0) held a 41-14 advantage at the break.

Concord (9-5) scored the next 14 points and had possession with 4:56 remaining when Emmanuel Gbunblee’s hit on B.J. Beecher forced an errant pass that Darryl Jackson intercepted. Sherrill took a snap on fourth-and-goal from the 5 with 1:26 left, stepped to the right, cut to the left, maneuvered back inside and powered into the end zone.

He made an immediate right turn and sprinted toward West’s sideline to join several awaiting teammates.

“I just refused to get tackled on that play and was determined to get into the end zone,” said Sherrill, who improved to 44-0 as West’s fulltime starter at QB. “I was very fired up because Concord had played great in the second half. We had a bunch of penalties and sort of lost our composure. I just wanted to step up and make a play for the team.”

The start by Sherrill, who finished with a career-high 238 passing yards, provided West with enough margin for error to survive a half in which it committed 13 penalties for 133 yards.

Sherrill connected with J a marian Mabry (twice), Daishion Barger, Jarvis Mor-

TUSCALOOSA, Ala — Cam Newton ran around Bryant-Denny StaAuburn 28 dium with a hand over his Alabama 27 mouth, having hushed up those who might have thought his shot at the national title was done, along with the Heisman Trophy.

He’s very much on track for both, thanks to his most audacious performance yet in this season of triumph and controversy.

No one had ever rallied a team to victory over Alabama after trailing by 24 points.

That’s just what Newton did Friday, leading No. 2 Auburn to a stunning 28-27 triumph that kept the Tigers in the thick of the BCS championship race and might have swayed any Heisman voters who had their doubts about voting for a guy hounded by unsavory allegations.

Newton threw for three touchdowns against the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide. He ran for the other score. And a day that start-

ed like Auburn might be headed for a staggering blowout ended with No. 2 taking a victory lap around Alabama’s hallowed home field.

“Cameron Newton is physically and mentally as tough as I’ve ever seen,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik NEWTON said. “Period.”

When Auburn fell behind 24-0 in the first half, it looked as though all those turned off by the prospect of Newton hoisting the Heisman and national championship trophies after his father was accused of seeking a huge payout might not have to worry about it.

Both awards were slipping away.

Not so fast.

Newton again rallied a team that has trailed in eight of its 12 games, leaving the crowd of 101,821 in disbelief. Well, except those orange-clad faithful crammed into one

Bucs, Bears can prove their mettle Associated Press This week’s NFL games ...

Seems like the Buccaneers and Bears have few believers despite their 7-3 records. They get to prove themselves as playoff contenders — or reveal themselves as pretenders — on Sunday.

Tampa Bay, which trails Atlanta by one game and is tied with New Orleans in the NFC South, visits AFC North co-leader Baltimore.

Chicago, picked by some to straggle in at the bottom of the NFC North, is even with Green Bay atop the division and hosts NFC East leader Philadelphia.

Tough tests, but not insurmountable challenges.

Just as things have turned out well for the Bucs, winners of four of the last five games, including a shutout in San Francisco last Sunday that was Tampa Bay’s first in six years. A win at Baltimore would help back up coach Raheem Morris’ claim the Bucs are the best in the conference.

• On Sunday, it’s Green Bay at Atlanta, San Diego at Indianapolis, Kansas City at Seattle, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, St. Louis at Denver, Jacksonville at N.Y. Giants, Miami at Oakland, Tennessee at Houston, Minnesota at Washington, and Carolina at Cleveland.

On Monday night, San Francisco is at Arizona.

• The matchups ...

Philadelphia (7-3) at Chicago (7-3) While the Bears attempt to justify their record, the Eagles try to live up to the high standard Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy have set recently. Philadelphia’s explosiveness — 112 points in three straight wins, at least 26 points in each of its victories this season — and video-game pace have made the Eagles a tough challenge for any defense. Even Chicago’s third-ranked unit.

Tampa Bay (7-3) at Baltimore (7-3) The Bucs’ wins have come against teams currently with losing records — the Rams at 46 have the best record of those victims.

Green Bay (7-3) at Atlanta (8-2) Already being pegged as a potential NFC title game matchup, the league’s hottest teams face off. Each has won four straight and the Falcons are nearly invincible in the Georgia Dome since QB Matt Ryan became the starter in 2008. Ryan is 18-1 there, with 14 consecutive wins.

San Diego (5-5) at Indianapolis (6-4) If San Diego truly has begun its charge to the top of the AFC West, then the banged-up Colts will have a formidable foe. The Chargers have won three in a row — all against losing teams — behind the sensational passing of Philip Rivers, who could get back top receiver Vincent Jackson.

Kansas City (6-4) at Seattle (5-5) Few venues are as difficult as Qwest Field, where the Seahawks are 3-1, the only defeat coming to the Giants when Seattle was hamstrung by injuries. With four home games remaining, the Seahawks have to be favored in the weak NFC West, especially if they can find a running game.

Pittsburgh (7-3) at Buffalo (2-8) Give Buffalo credit for not quitting after losing every game in the first half of the schedule. The two victories were against weaklings Detroit and Cincinnati, and now the Bills really step up in class.

Jacksonville (6-4) at N.Y. Giants (6-4) New York might be calling Amani Toomer out of retirement to bolster a receiving corps minus leaders Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks.

Look for the Giants to concentrate on the run with reinstated starter Brandon Jacobs; Ahmad Bradshaw’s fumbling problems got him demoted.

Miami (5-5) at Oakland (5-5) Chad Henne could be back at quarterback in Oakland, where the Dolphins have enjoyed recent trips, winning four in a row. Indeed, Miami is 4-1 on the road in 2010, but has struggled at home and was manhandled by Chicago last week.

Tennessee (5-5) at Houston (4-6) With Vince Young out of the mix for the rest of the season, if not forever in Tennessee, the Titans turn to rookie Rusty Smith to keep their playoff hopes alive. Fortunately for Smith, Houston’s secondary is a sieve, and he always has Chris Johnson to hand the ball to.

Minnesota (3-7) at Washington (5-5) Wonder if the Vikings will get the same kind of boost from a coach’s firing as the Cowboys did. Leslie Frazier makes his debut as their head man after Brad Childress was fired, and he plans to let Brett Favre continue his record starting string.

St. Louis (4-6) at Denver (3-7) Since beginning 2009 with a six-game winning streak, the Broncos are 5-15 under Josh McDaniels. Some of the defeats have been embarrassing, including to division rivals Oakland and San Diego. But there also was a 49-29 romp past Kansas City in Denver’s last home game.

San Francisco (3-7) at Arizona (3-7), Monday Months ago, this looked like a juicy primetime matchup. Considered preseason frontrunners for the NFC West title, which the Cardinals won the last two years, both teams have crashed in a plague of miscommunications, bad quarterbacking and late-game problems.

Carolina (1-9) at Cleveland (3-7) The Browns have played well for a month, even though they have suffered key injuries, and they get back QB Jake Delhomme just in time to step in for Colt McCoy (left ankle). Delhomme faces the team he guided to one Super Bowl and another NFC championship game.

That team barely resembles the vintage Panthers, although fourth-string running back Mike Goodson has rushed for more than 100 yards the last two games.

Bobcats thump Rockets Associated Press

The NBA roundup ...

CHARLOTTE — Gerald Wallace overcame a poor shooting night to score 21 points and grab 14 rebounds, Boris Diaw added 20 points and 10 boards, and the Charlotte Bobcats beat the slumping Houston Rockets 99-89 on Friday night to snap a two-game losing streak.

Stephen Jackson scored 16 points and his 3-pointer with 2:41 left put Charlotte ahead 93-82 as it recovered from an 11-point, first-half deficit.

Chase Budinger scored 19 points off the bench and Kevin Martin added 16, but they combined to shoot 12 of 32 from the field for the Rockets, who lost for the fifth time in six games as they play without the injured Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks.

With owner Michael Jordan sitting courtside, the Bobcats dominated the second half behind the versatile Diaw, who hit 9-of-14 shots.

He made up for Wallace's 6-of-21 night.

Manu Ginobili had 31 points for the Spurs, 16 in the first quarter.

But the Mavericks, who lost all three playoff games in San Antonio in their firstround loss last season, pulled away with a 14-2 run within the final five minutes.

Heat 99, 76ers 90 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 23 points, LeBron James added 20 and Miami pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia, snapping a three-game losing streak.

Chris Bosh scored 18 points and Carlos Arroyo had a season-high 17 for Miami, which needed a 12-2 run at the start of the fourth quarter to pull away from Philadelphia — the team off to the worst start in the Eastern Conference.

Jodie Meeks scored 18 of his 21 points in the second quarter for the 76ers, who dropped their third straight.

It held up, keeping the Tigers perfect heading to next week’s Southeastern Conference championship game against South Carolina. If Auburn wins that one, the reward will certainly be a berth in the national title game.

Clausen will start The NFL roundup ...

CHARLOTTE — Carolina quarterback Jimmy Clausen has been cleared to play following a concussion and will seek his first win as an NFL starter Sunday against exPanthers QB Jake Delhomme and Cleveland.

Clausen practiced for a third straight day Friday after missing last Sunday’s loss to Baltimore and coach John Fox says doctors have signed off on his return.

Clausen, who was injured on the final offensive play Nov. 14 at Tampa Bay, was listed as probable.

“I think he had an outstanding week of preparation,” Fox said. “From my understanding is he had no side effects and we anticipate he’ll be good to go.”

The rookie will be matched against Delhomme, Carolina’s former QB who will start for the injured Colt McCoy and provide another odd twist in the Panthers’ miserable season.

Carolina (1-9) released Delhomme in March following an 18-interception season in 2009.

“Obviously, Jake was down here in Carolina for a long time and did great things down here,” Clausen said. “He’s one of the quarterbacks I like to watch and get bits and pieces that they do to try to help my game.

It’ll be good to finally meet him for the first time.”

Even though Clausen is 04 as a starter, and has completed just 48.6 percent of his passes and has one touchdown pass and four interceptions, the Panthers desperately needed him to

Jameer Nelson scored 20 points, and Orlando beat Cleveland.

J.J. Redick, starting for the second straight game in place of the injured Vince Carter, added 15 points for Orlando, which won for the sixth time in its last seven games. Quentin Richardson and Rashard Lewis had 14 apiece for the Magic, who put all five starters in double figures.

Antawn Jamison came off the bench to score 22 points and Mo Williams contributed 20 for the Cavaliers, who fell behind by 12 early in the second quarter and couldn’t get the deficit under 10 the rest of the game.

Celtics 110, Raptors 101 BOSTON — Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 11 rebounds, Shaquille O’Neal added 16 points and nine boards, and Boston avenged a loss to Toronto.

It was the Celtics’ third straight win after they had consecutive losses for the only time this season, the second coming at Toronto on Sunday.

FINES EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Darrell Bevell won't reveal the changes he'll make in the post-Brad Childress era. This much is certain: the Minnesota Vikings' offense finally is Bevell's baby.

The Vikings fired Childress on Monday and replaced him on an interim basis with defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who will play a far smaller role than his predecessor on Bevell's side of the ball.

“Every play went through coach Childress and everything was finalized through him,” Bevell, the Vikings' offensive coordinator, said.

“So, this week, it was a little bit different.”

FINES NEW YORK — New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs and Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly each have been fined $20,000 by the NFL. Jacobs was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct toward fans before last Sunday's loss at Philadelphia. It was his second such violation this year.

Kelly was fined $20,000 for unnecessary roughness on a special teams play when he unnecessarily struck a Steelers player in the head.

Rattled? No way.

Love him or deride him as a tainted star, Newton certainly has no peer on the field. It’s unlikely that anyone in the country could lead a team back from such a daunting deficit in Tuscaloosa, where Alabama had won 20 in a row.

Then again, the Tigers have come back time and time again this season, overcoming double-figure deficits three other times. This was their best one yet, their best one ever.

“That was a game that will certainly go down in history,”

SALISBURY POST

wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST

A happy Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan laughs it up with his Hornets after they advanced to the Western Final against Shelby.

SALISBURY FROM 8C Morris scored four touchdowns, Dominique Dismuke rushed for 131 yards and Salisbury’s defense came up with three big turnovers.

Berry QB Kenneth Patterson threw four touchdown passes. Three came in the first half, one on fourth-and-14, to propel his team to a 21-7 lead.

Momentum swung at the end of the half.

Berry was knocking on the door at the Salisbury 5, looking to go up by three TDs, when the Hornets got a stop. Then the Cardinals missed a field goal.

“Yes, that was the turning point,” Berry coach Andrew Howard said. “We haven’t been kicking field goals, but if we can put them down three scores, then they’re really going to have to chase us.”

Salisbury middle linebacker Kavari Hillie, who had a forced fumble and an interception, knew that stretch at the end of the half was now-or-never time.

“We almost fell apart right there,” he said.

“Definitely, it was a clinch moment. But we knew if we stopped them our offense would get the ball first in the second half and we could get right back into it.”

Salisbury made adjustments on both sides of the ball, but halftime was mostly about regrouping mentally from Patterson’s onslaught.

“It was really quiet,” Dismuke said. “But I looked at that as a good thing. Guys were thinking about the mistakes they’d made and how we were gonna correct them.”

Things got fixed. SHS set up on its 49 after a strong kickoff return to open the half. Then Knox squeezed through a tiny crack down the Salisbury sideline and was off to the races. It was 21-14.

“The biggest thing that happened in the first half was we didn’t have the ball long enough to put anything together,” Pinyan said.

“But I think the coaches were more uneasy than the kids. The kids knew we could straighten it out.”

With 8:38 left in the third quarter, Salisbury safety Tion McCain picked off a pass and returned it to the Berry 11.

With Salisbury facing fourth-and-6 at the 7, many coaches would’ve called on David Simons for a field goal to chop into Berry’s lead.

But Pinyan pointed his troops forward, and Knox produced the best 6-yard run of his life, fighting his way to the 1 to get the critical first down.

Tacklers hit him at the 5, but he stiff-armed everyone in sight and kept churning.

SHAW FROM 8C

wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST

was the biggest factor in the Hornets’ rally.

“We’re talented, but we’re still a young group,” Howard said. “Salisbury’s been there before, and they were a great team in the second half.”

Dismuke took the second-half kickoff and returned it 40 yards to midfield. Knox followed with a long touchdown run down the left sideline.

“Those two plays changed the game,” said Knox, who credited a crunching downfield block by wideout John Jarrett. “They gave us momentum.”

Salisbury pulled even when Romar Morris scored the first of his three second-half TDs midway through the third period. In the fourth — a day after giving thanks for their good fortune — the Hornets devoured Berry like a plate of reheated leftovers, scoring three more touchdowns and receiving a 28-yard field goal from kicker David Simons.

When Morris bulldozed his way nine yards into the end zone with 7:10 remaining, it capped a 31-0 scoring splurge.

“Coach Pinyan told us something important at halftime,” sophomore nose tackle Scott Givens said in the boisterous, postgame locker room. “He said, ‘You either want it or you don’t want it.’ The turnaround had to start with our focus level.”

It ended with the Cardinals scratching

their heads.

“We let them take the momentum from us,” Patterson said after Berry excused itself from the postseason table. “And we never got it back.”

Perhaps this was simply a Salisbury team making up for lost time. The dawn of December will bring a second straight fourthround appearance — Salisbury’s final resting place a year ago — and a matchup with highly touted Shelby.

Despite Friday’s uneven performance, it appears the Hornets have gotten better rather than bitter.

“When we executed our plays, there was a spark,” McElrath said. “That’s what we need to get better at. The thing is, we’ve got to execute earlier instead of later, like we did tonight.”

That will be Pinyan’s next assignment.

“We’re gonna have to play like we did in the second half,” he said. “Eventually you’ve got to have a game where you play flawlessly.

This will probably be the week we’ll need to.”

If not, they’ll be scratching their heads all winter.

William Brown walks off the field after the Hornet victory.

In reality, they were halfway there.

Salisbury’s laundry list of problems, according to first-hand reports, ranged from missed blocks on the offensive line to a general lack of focus.

“This was a big game, and everybody was involved in the hype,” Knox said. “We had to stop thinking about the crowd and all the distractions and just do our assignments.”

First, coach Joe Pinyan completed his. He spent halftime consoling the Hornets, advising them that taking an adverse situation and reversing it often begins with a small step and making the next play their best.

“What he said,” lineman Terrence McElrath offered, “was that bad plays will happen. You’ve just got to fight through them.

We were due to play a bad half, and that was it. We got our bad half out of the way.”

It was Knox and Dominique Dismuke who launched Salisbury’s comeback.

“All the players were saying, ‘We can get it; we can get this first down,’ ” Knox said.

“Our coaches believe in the players, and our players believe in the coaches. They let us go get it, and we got it.”

Morris took it to the end zone from there, and Simons’ PAT made it 21-21. A snowball was starting to roll.

Berry (11-3) stopped itself with a dropped third-down pass, and the Hornets rolled 76 yards. Dismuke got the TD from the 3 on the first play of the fourth quarter, and SHS led 28-21.

Salisbury linebacker Tre Jackson crushed Berry’s next series almost by himself. After a punt, Dismuke broke a 50-yard run. That set up a Simons field goal with 7:30 remaining for a 31-21 lead.

Then Hillie picked off a pass, and Morris scored from the 9 to cap a 31-0 spree and settle the outcome. There was plenty of scoring late, but that only affected the stats.

“It was a strange win, but its one of those strange ones you have to win to advance in the playoffs,” Pinyan said.

It’s unusual to see a Charlotte team playing 2A football, and Berry brought great team speed and highly recruited athletes to Ludwig Stadium.

Berry had to tire some, playing at least five players both ways, but experience probably

Salisbury 45, Berry 35 jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

West Rowan's Odell McBride (5) looks for a call from the referee while Desmond Shamsid-Dean (15) pleads his case.

IMPRESSED FROM 1C “We knew we’d have to match (Moore) up with a select few and try to gameplan that way and then mix coverages to try and make it difficult for Beecher.

“We’re multiple. We’ll play onehigh (safety) and two-high (safeties).

We had them both in the gameplan as well as man and zone tonight. We tried to change it up on them early and often.”

West Rowan’s coaching staff tasked its secondary with keeping all of Concord’s receivers in front of them. Small gains were OK as long as they didn’t turn into game- and momentum-changing plays. With the exception of Moore’s 54-yard gain — he broke a tackle to turn a short completion into one that set up Concord’s first touchdown — the Falcons were successful.

“We weren’t letting any receivers jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST get behind us,” Falcons defensive West Rowan defensive back Domonique Noble breaks up a pass intended for back Trey Mashore said. “We Concord's Jacquise Moore (4). worked on all of their pass routes.

We studied their film all week and all the things they could possibly Beecher few open options. West could progress to his second or third do.”

Rowan’s gameplan left some underreads.

With the Falcons dropping four neath routes open, but often the “It wasn’t that we were backing defensive backs into zone coverage, players in the Falcons’ front seven down,” West’s Domonique Noble it clouded the secondary and gave were in Beecher’s face before he said of his team’s gameplan. “They

do have good receivers. It was (just smart) tactically. We didn’t even give them that much respect with the two-high safeties. It was just how the defense was built with our blitzes and stuff.”

Beecher was 8-for-16 passing for 113 yards, a touchdown and an interception before halftime. Nearly half of those yards came on Moore’s long catch. Moore was held to one catch in the second half, a 32-yard score, and finished with 118 yards.

But too often the Spiders’ pass-first offense failed to produce, putting their defense back out on the field with little rest. Noble, Darryl Jackson and Eric Cowan had interceptions for West Rowan. On two of the three, Moore was the intended target.

Unable to move the ball through the air, Concord’s offensive playmakers were relegated to watching West Rowan quarterback B.J. Sherrill and Co. exploit holes in their own secondary. Sherrill was 13-for-21 with five touchdowns (all in the first half) and 238 yards.

The final result was expected, but it wasn’t the methodology that many would have anticipated based on how these teams got to this point.

“That’s a great football team,” Concord coach Glen Padgett said, “and I think our team showed the character that everybody should know they have.”

WEST FROM 1C gan and Louis Kraft for scores in the first half.

Kraft’s 5-yard reception came with 2.3 seconds left and allowed Sherrill to tie Sturdivant, who had back-to-back games of five TD passes for North Rowan in 1997.

“We came out on fire — the defense was getting stops and the offense was putting points on the board,” Sherrill said. “The second half we came out kind of sluggish, if you want to say that, but thank God we played great in the first half.”

West marched deep into Concord territory to begin the second half, but Desmond Shamsid-Dean picked off Sherrill at the 5 and returned the ball 69 yards before being tackled by Brandon Ijames.

Beecher capped a short drive with a QB sneak, and his 32-yard touchdown pass to Jacquise Moore (four catches for 118 yards) helped cut the Spiders’ deficit to 41-28 with 7:46 remaining in the game.

West, which had been penalized three straight times for holding on its previous series, gained possession when Justin Teeter recovered an onside kick. The Falcons picked up one first down but punted from their own territory after a personal foul.

“As a team I think we had a little bit of a meltdown,” West coach Scott Young said.

“The good news is we played so well in the first half that it was going to be a steep mountain to climb for them.”

Beecher, who threw for 176 yards, dropped back on first down from the Concord 20 and released the ball with Gbunblee in his face. Jackson made the easy interception at the

West Rowan coaches, from left, Joe Nixon, Scott Young and Jeff Chapman yell instructions to the Falcons during the team’s victory against Concord.

Spiders’ 40 and returned it 11 yards.

“You live for plays like that,” Gbunblee said. “You force turnovers, that’s how you win games.”

Eric Cowan and Domonique Noble picked off passes after putting themselves in perfect position on fades to the 6-foot-2 Moore, and Trevor Loudin made a critical fumble recovery on special teams.

Touchdowns by Barger (39

yards) and Mabry (12 yards) pushed West ahead 13-0 in the first eight minutes, and Beecher opened the second quarter with a 4-yard scoring toss to tight end Terrance Knox.

Mabry reached the end zone on an 8-yard reception less than three minutes later, and a big hit on the kickoff led to Loudin’s recovery. Dinkin Miller (168 yards on 27 carries) scored two plays later on a 6yard run, and Barger’s conver-

sion catch produced a 27-7 lead.

Beecher’s 3-yard sneak for a TD halted West’s run, but Sherrill ended the next series with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Morgan. Concord would have scored with a wide-receiver pass on its next possession if not for a stunning drop in wide-open space at the West 20, and an illegal block wiped out Cowan’s 67yard punt return for a touchdown with 28.1 seconds remaining before halftime.

The call didn’t faze the Falcons. Miller ran for 25 yards and Sherrill hit Taylor Garczynski with a 36-yard strike to the Concord 5. West called timeout with 7.3 seconds left, and the 215-pound Sherrill rolled right before locating Kraft in the back of the end zone.

“Their quarterback is an extra running back that can throw it,” Concord coach Glen Padgett said. “He throws it well, but he’s a load.”

DAVIE FROM 8C

tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST

A.L. Brown’s Travis Riley runs away from Charlotte Catholic defender Garrett Keenan (81). Riley played his last game for the Wonders.

A.L. BROWN FROM 8C and finding the end zone three straight times to build a 24-7 lead with just over four minutes left in the second quarter.

"We kept our defense out there too much in the first half," Massey said. "We had to move the ball offensively because they are that good offensively. You get in a game like this and sometime it snowballs on you and it kinda did.”

Brown couldn't move early because Catholic shut down its running game. With the speed threat of Damien Washington out with a leg injury, the Cougars bottled up the middle. Travis Riley was held to just 10 yards on six carries in the first half.

Down by 17 late in the half, Massey and the Wonders tried for a first down on 4th and 1 from their own 21, but Riley was stuffed for no gain.

“We just got to a point on fourth down where we had to keep it out of their hands and they've got an answer for everything,” Massey said.

After the stop, Catholic capitalized on the short field with fullback Steven Bevilacqua’s 15-yard touchdown run around left end that made it 31-7 with 1:21 left in the half.

The Cougars were their usual rushing juggernaut, totaling 194 yards in the first two quarters and 358 for the game.

But also as usual, they were extremely effective the few times they threw the ball.

Quarterback C.J. Brodowicz completed four of his five passes for 150 yards and three touchdowns.

Wingback David Herlocker was wide open when he caught a 3-yard touchdown on a fourthand-goal play that made it 17-7 and again late in the third quarter on a 69-yard catch-and-run score.

“We knew we could've thrown (more),” longtime Catholic head coach Jim Oddo said. “They were all up on the line. But we only did it when we had to.”

Brown defensive back Shequez Weaks had pretty good coverage on a play in the second quarter, but Catholic tight end Nick Funck made a better play on the ball down the middle of the field and turned it into a 68-yard touchdown.

“We’ve played them for five years and we’ve tried to run two or three different fronts against them and they just tie you in and then go over the top with the pass,” Massey said. “They make you devote so much to the run that it makes it tough on those secondary people.”

Massey reluctantly abandoned his running game late in the first half and quarterback Martel Campbell threw the Wonders down the field on three straight possessions, but they couldn't convert with points.

A sack on Campbell derailed a drive right before halftime, Campbell was intercepted inside the Cougars' 10 on the opening drive of the third quarter and then lost a fumble on 1st-and-goal from the Catholic 9 on the next possession.

“We didn’t score, and you've got to score against them," Massey said. "That's the whole thing. If you don’t score with them you're not going to be in the game.”

Campbell did put up impressive passing numbers, completing 21 of 36 passes for 250 yards.

Johnson finished with 104 yards on six catches and

Teven Jones had seven receptions for 65 yards.

Catholic wingback Nick Johnson rushed for a team-high 121 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Bevilacqua finished with 120 yards.

“They wouldn't give up up front and we didn't give up, but they just had a better backfield,” defensive lineman Mark Goodjohn said.

Even the Cougars' special teams exceled. Placekicker Jesse Roy kicked a 49-yard field goal and had four kickoffs for touchbacks.

“You can't really throw them off their game,” Brown linebacker Dominique Phifer said.

“They're a very focused team, well-coached and strong players and altogether they were just the better team tonight.”

Still, the Wonders were more successful than most would've thought when Riley was sidelined by his knee injury in the season opener. They also dealt with the death of teammate Dajon Torrence along the way.

“I told them I wouldn't trade places with anybody,” Massey said. "They've meant a lot to me as a coach with what they had to go through this year.

They grew up a lot this year. They'll bounce back.

They won another conference championship and got to the third round again. There's a lot to be proud of.”

• NOTES: Catholic hit its season average of 45 points on the nose, but could've passed 50. The Cougars took a knee on three straight plays late in the game after reaching the Brown 3 ... Catholic will host Crest for the Western Regional title next week.

Davie had its hands full with Central quarterback Drew Adams and his explosive receivers. Adams went 6 of 7 for 70 yards during an 11play, 91-yard drive that ended with Adams using his legs for a 9-yard score.

The first hero for Davie came on defense. Central had fourth-and-goal at the 1, looking to add to the 7-0 lead.

Adams handed to Aaron Leach, but Davie’s wondrous safety, Alex Newman, tripped him up for a 2-yard loss.

Davie’s offense responded with a classic clock-eating drive: 22 plays, 97 yards, 10:36. Carson Herndon completed a 4-yard pass to Darius Wilson on fourth-and-2 at the Davie 45. Davie had converted four third downs when it faced third-and-goal at the 2.

Jacob Barber came on for the wildcat formation and burst through the middle for a game-tying touchdown.

It was 7-7 at the half.

The War Eagles, who played turnover-free ball, got the turnover they needed when Adams threw an errant pitch.

Adam Smith scooped it to give Davie possession at midfield.

Davie turned the fumble into a tiebreaking TD. Barber used second effort to convert a fourth-and-3 at the Central 43.

On third-and-10, Herndon hit Jarrett Wallace for a 26-yard score. Central didn’t adjust to Davie’s muddle huddle on the PAT, so Alex Newman completed a two-point pass to Kevin Crawford, making it 157 late in the third quarter.

Barber’s running moved Davie to the Central 1, but a bad snap on third-and-goal brought out the field-goal unit.

Woody Parrish did what he does - delivering a clutch 31yard kick that made it 18-7 with 5:32 to go.

Central stayed alive with a 59-yard kickoff return, and it scored three plays later on a 10-yard run by Leach.

Davie got the ball with 4:26 left. Herndon’s keeper moved the sticks on third-and-1. Moments later, it was third-and11. Davie needed one first down to seal the deal. Illing, who will never be accused of being too conservative, reached deep into his bag of tricks. Adam Smith, the backup QB, took a reverse handoff. Smith stopped and hung up a pass for Herndon, who made a leaping, 13-yard catch between two defenders.

Ball game.

“We just needed a first down,” Illing said. “I saw them getting really aggressive.

Adam made a great throw, and Carson made a great play.

It was a play we needed because they were really stuffing the run. They were trying to get 10 guys in the box. We were going to try to catch them offguard, and hey, it worked out for us.”

Adams put on a show in the first half, going 12 of 20 for 149 yards. But Devore Holman’s defense had all the answers in the second half, with Adams going 1 of 4 for 7 yards. Derek Grant, who came in with 89 catches for 1,421 yards, was limited to five catches for 24 yards. Of course, Davie’s ball-control offense had a lot to do with that.

“I think coach Holman and those defensive guys kept putting some wrinkles out there so (Adams) didn’t get comfortable with what we were in,” Illing said. “When they get comfortable, they can pick you apart. But I don’t think we lined up the same way any back-to-back plays.”

• NOTES: Illing improved to 2-5 in quarterfinals. ... Barber (56 yards), Herndon (47) and Stephon Smoot (41) shared the rushing load for Davie. ...

Davie had 233 yards to Central’s 229.

Oregon beats Arizona to remain unbeaten Associated Press

Friday’s college roundup ...

EUGENE, Ore. — Darron Thomas passed for three touchdowns and ran for another and topranked Oregon earned at least a share of a second consecutive Pac10 title with a 48-29 victory over No. 20 Arizona on Friday night.

LaMichael James shrugged off talk of an injury to run for 126 yards and two scores for the Ducks (11-0, 8-0), who trailed 19-14 at halftime but surged in the second half to stay on course for a trip to the BCS national title game.

The Ducks can lock up an outright conference title and a spot in the national championship game next week with a victory at Oregon State.

It was the third straight loss for Arizona (7-4, 4-4), which ultimately couldn't keep up with the Ducks' speedy spread-option.

With temperatures in the mid40s and periodic rain showers, there were concerns that the Wildcats would have trouble with their

passing game, which had been averaging about 300 yards a game.

But Nick Foles passed for a career-high 448 yards and three touchdowns, including an 85-yard score to Juron Criner.

Thomas completed 14 of 24 passes for 148 yards and an interception. Oregon finished with 537 yards total offense, but Arizona kept up with 506 yards.

Oregon trailed for just the second time this season at the break.

But the Ducks bounced back early in the second half with Josh Huff's 85-yard scoring run, the longest play from scrimmage for the Ducks this season. While the conversion failed, Oregon had a 2019 lead.

No. 16 Nebraska 45, Colorado 17 LINCOLN, Neb. — Running back Rex Burkhead passed for two touchdowns and ran for 101 yards and another score, and No. 16 Nebraska clinched the Big 12 North with a 45-17 victory over Colorado on Friday in their final meeting before they head to different conferences.

DURHAM — North Carolina has dominated the football version of college basketball’s fiercest rivalry for the entire span of Duke quarterback Sean Renfree’s life.

Now that the 20-yearold is getting his first taste of it as a starter, he wants nothing more than to finally turn the tables on the Tar Heels today when the neighbors located 8 miles apart meet.

“This is my third year (at Duke), and it seems like forever,” Renfree said.

“Losing that many games to Carolina and hearing about all the games they’ve lost before I got here. ... It’s hard to think about.”

The rivalry is perpetually celebrated on the basketball court for being so evenly matched. But on the football field for the past two decades, it’s been nothing short of one-sided.

North Carolina (6-5, 3-4 ACC) has won 19 of 20 meetings, including six straight, while the Blue Devils’ win in 2003 was their only win since 1989.

“This really isn’t a publicized football rivalry, although you’re going to get their best, regardless,” said North Carolina defensive tackle and Kinston native Quinton Coples.

“The Duke and Carolina rivalry, traditionally, whatever sport it is, you definitely have to come with your best because they’re definitely going to give you their best.”

The best simply hasn’t been good enough for Duke (3-8, 1-6).

The Blue Devils have been close lately, but haven’t managed to get over the hump against the Tar Heels, whose previous five victories in the series have come by an average of 6.2 points.

Duke coach David Cutcliffe is no stranger to trophy games — during six full seasons at Mississippi, he went 4-2 against Mississippi State in the annual Battle for the Golden Egg.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland’s incentive to beat No. 21 North Carolina State has nothing to do with ruining the Wolfpack’s bid to play in the ACC championship game.

The Terrapins want to win today for reasons that are purely selfish.

Maryland’s chances of playing for the ACC crown ended last weekend with a 30-16 loss to Florida State. The victory assured the Seminoles at least a share of the Atlantic Division title, but if North Carolina State defeats the Terrapins, it will climb into a first-place tie and earn a spot in next week’s championship game by virtue of its win over FSU last month.

“Basically the whole season comes down to one game,” Wolfpack linebacker Audie Cole said.

Standing in the way is Maryland (7-4, 4-3).

Walking off the field after being the Terrapins, many Seminoles and their coaches wished Maryland good luck against the Wolfpack (8-3, 5-2).

The Wolfpack has designs of making a strong season even better.

“We’ve already accomplished a lot of special things with the eighth win and five wins in conference,” said coach Tom O’Brien, who will be vying for his 100th career victory.”

The Wolfpack are coming off a tough 29-25 victory at North Carolina, and now they’re facing their third road game in the last four weeks.

Throw in the fact that N.C. State hasn’t won at Maryland since 2004, and it’s evident that this is quite a challenge.

The key to the Pack’s attack is QB Russell Wilson, who leads the ACC’s top-rated passing offense with an average of 270.6 yards per game. He has thrown 24 touchdown passes and leads the league in total offense.

Nebraska (10-2, 6-2) will go to Arlington, Texas, next Saturday hoping to win its third Big 12 title, and first since 1999, before going to the Big Ten next year.

Colorado (5-7, 2-6), which played its third game under interim coach Brian Cabral, failed to become bowl eligible in its last season before joining the Pacific-12.

With QB Taylor Martinez out because of injuries to his right ankle and left foot, the Cornhuskers relied heavily on Burkhead to take pressure off backup quarterback Cody Green.

Arizona State 55, UCLA 34 TEMPE, Ariz. — Backup Brock Osweiler threw for 380 yards and hit Aaron Pflugrad on two of his four touchdown passes, helping Arizona State keep its slim bowl hopes alive with a 55-34 victory over UCLA. Arizona State (5-6, 3-5 Pac-10) lost starting quarterback Steven Threet to a head injury early and trailed 17-0 late in the first quarter.

Osweiler rallied the Sun Devils with three TD passes in the first half,

and Arizona State pulled away in the second on a 71-yard touchdown run by Cameron Marshall and Jamal Miles' 99-yard kickoff return.

Akron 22, Buffalo 14 AKRON, Ohio — Patrick Nicely threw for three touchdowns to lead Akron past Buffalo 22-14 on Friday, giving the Zips their first victory of the season.

West Virginia 35, Pittsburgh 10 PITTSBURGH — West Virginia never believed Pittsburgh was a better team. Not in August, when Pitt was a near-unanimous pick to win the Big East. Not in October, when the Panthers opened a twogame lead over the Mountaineers.

Certainly not now.

Brandon Hogan's interception and fumble recovery led to touchdowns in the first half, Geno Smith threw two scoring passes to Tavon Austin in the third quarter and West Virginia upset Backyard Brawl rival Pittsburgh for the second straight season, winning 35-10.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— Robbie Caldwell is preparing for Vanderbilt’s regular season finale. It also could be his final game as the Commodores’ head coach, and he says he’s working on what he can control right now.

Caldwell is 2-9 with Vanderbilt having lost six straight games in his first season. The Commodores wrap up the season tonight against Wake Forest (2-9), and he said Monday he doesn’t know the status of his future with the program.

“I sure don’t. I have no idea. I’m just going to keep working. I can’t control that. I’m trying to work on things I can control, but good quesVANDERBILT tion,” Caldwell said.

Caldwell got his first head coaching job in mid-July about seven weeks before Vanderbilt’s season opener when Bobby Johnson unexpectedly retired. That left Caldwell little time to make changes.

The offense, riddled by injuries, has made improvements since, especially in the past two games with new coordinator Des Kitchings working from the booth instead of the sideline.

Vanderbilt finished with 77 plays for 333 yards in last week’s 24-10 loss to instate rival Tennessee. They held the ball a few seconds shy of 30 minutes.

Caldwell wants to make more changes in the future. But he said if Saturday night is his last game at Vanderbilt, that he would be sad.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here at Vanderilt, but hopefully it won’t be. ... I understand that’s the life of a football coach in this day and time,” Caldwell said. “I told you the story a few weeks ago. Jim Valvano came in with a lifetime contract and got fired. There’s nothing in stone as a coach.”

CLEMSON, S.C. — A season ago, Clemson came into this rivalry with much bigger things on its mind — and it showed in the Tigers’ flat performance and South Carolina’s decisive win.

Now, it’s the 18thranked Gamecocks (8-3) seeking a championship beyond tonight’s Palmetto State matchup and coach Steve Spurrier says his players are focused squarely defeating Clemson (6-5) and not on their first Southeastern Conference title game a week later.

“We’re fortunate we got a bonus game at the end of the season,” Spurrier said. “It doesn’t diminish anything about the game this week.”

Maybe that’s because of South Carolina sorry history against the state’s other marquee program. The Gamecocks have lost about two of every three games to the Tigers — Clemson leads 65-38-4 — and victory Saturday would be their first consecutive wins since taking three straight from 1968-70.

A win “will mean a lot,” South Carolina receiver Tori Gurley said, “because it will just show as a team we are growing and maturing.”

That was easy to see throughout the season.

South Carolina had a year of milestones, including its first trip to the SEC title game where it will face No. 2 Auburn on Dec. 4.

The Tigers had similar momentum going into 2009, winning six straight to claim it’s first ACC Atlantic Division crown and vowing to bring the same intensity to South Carolina.

Instead, the Gamecocks manhandled Clemson 34-17. Star tailback C.J. Spiller was held to 18 yards, his second lowest output of the season.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech hopes to attend to what seems like a formality when it hosts Virginia in a game that will have no bearing on the No. 13 Hokies’ postseason.

Because it’s Virginia, though, the Hokies would relish extending their winning streak in the series to seven, and in the process cementing their status as the only Division I team to have won at least 10 games in each of the past seven seasons.

The game will be the last at Lane Stadium for 16 seniors, including quarterback Tyrod Taylor, and taking care of the Cavaliers one more time would give him a career sweep.

“That would feel good,” Taylor saithis week.

“Very good.”

The Hokies (9-2, 7-0 ACC) have won nine in a row this season since an 0-2 start, and could become the first team to finish the regular season unbeaten in ACC play since Florida State in 2000. They also still have next week’s ACC championship and a bowl game to play.

First, though, senior Davon Morgan wants to ensure he finishes at home in style.

“This game means a lot, not only because it’s UVA, but because it’s the next one, and my last one in Lane,” he said. “Just the opportunity that I’ve had over these last four years, it’s been great to be here. I’m gonna miss it and I’m gonna enjoy the last one for sure.”

For several years now, the Hokies have all enjoyed playing Virginia.

Cavaliers coach Mike London said the rivalry aspect of the series has been hurt.

“It’s a rivalry because it’s the last game of the year or because its your in-state team,” said London, an assistant at Virginia in 2003, the last time the Cavaliers won.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With some help, No. 22 Florida State can accomplish two huge goals today.

The Seminoles will try to snap a six-game losing streak against rival Florida and if things break right in College Park, Md., they can also earn a trip to the ACC championship game.

Florida State was in the same position two years ago, but got hammered by the Gators at home and received no help from Maryland, which failed to beat Boston College and give the Seminoles a backdoor entry into the ACC title game.

It’s been a lot longer though since Florida State defeated the Gators, who have won a pair of national titles since last losing to the Seminoles in 2003 on a lastminute, 52yard desperation heave from Chris Rix to P.K. Sam. First-year Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher would love to cap off his inaugural regular season with a win.

“This is another step for us to learn to play in these kinds of games,” Fisher said. “When you’re learning to compete with those folks, it means you’re taking steps in the right direction.”

The Seminoles (8-3, 6-2) are a 21⁄2-point favorite — a year after being a fourtouchdown underdog at Gainesville. They lost by 27.

“They feel like they can do anything with this new coach that they have,” Florida defensive tackle Terron Sanders said. “We’re just trying to keep the tradition alive around here winning games.”

Florida (7-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) could finish off its otherwise disappointing season with a record seventh straight win in this series that started in 1958. The Gators also won six straight games in the series between 1981 and 1986.

“It would do a lot to make this season a success with everything that’s happened,” conceded Florida coach Urban Meyer, who has never seen one of his teams lose five games in his 10-year career as a head coach.

Everything fell in place for Erdman, Bennett and Chanticleers Associated Press

Former West Rowan kicker Ben Erdman told the Myrtle Beach Sun News that after last week’s 70-3 win over Charleston Southern, he met his parents on the field and they cried together, thinking it was his last college football game.

Then Liberty helped Coastal out by scoring 54 points in a win over Stony Brook. A three-way tie and the Big South’s automatic bid was won by Coastal. So Erdman plays

on. It’s tears of joy for the family.

Coastal (6-5) plays host to Western Illinois (7-4) today in a first-round Football Championship Subdivision playoff game.

ERDMAN Coastal coach David Bennett, the former head man at Catawba, even thought his chances to make the playoffs were long gone. But now,

Coastal might just be the hottest team in the nation.

Coastal started the season 2-5.

Things started to turn around when the Chanticleers trailed 31-7 at half against Stony Brook. Bennett said his team realized in the locker room they were tired of being beat up and scored three second half touchdowns to make the game respectable. A week later, they knocked off Gardner-Webb in overtime to start their streak.

The Chanticleers won their final

four games by an average of 28 points. Bennett called up Liberty coach Danny Rocco a few hours after everything shook out.

“I said, ‘Hey, thank you brother.’ And he said, ‘You better have a Christmas present, Bennett.’ And I said ‘Any time you want to play golf down here at the beach, just holler,’ ” Bennett said.

“I’m very proud of these guys.

The resilience they’ve shown, the fortitude, the perseverance, the discipline, the selflessness is what

it takes in life,” Bennett said.

And the amazing confluence of events last Saturday that let Coastal Carolina into the playoffs have the players believing this is a special season too.

“Nobody really thought this was going to happen — that Liberty could go up and beat Stony Brook like that and give us this chance,” linebacker Andrae Jacobs said. “I was thinking, we’ve got to make the best of this opportunity God has given us.”

Resilient Hornets Team forgot 1st half alfway through last night’s tug of war at Ludwig Stadium, visiting Berry Academy had the home team scratching its head.

Salisbury barely resembled the team that had played with a quiet insouciance, conquered its last seven opponents and adDAVID vanced to SHAW Round 3 of the 2AA state playoffs.

“What happened in the first half was not normal,” right tackle Marqui Ross said. “It didn’t even look like us.”

Teammate John Knox, who quarterbacked the Hornets to five second-half touchdowns and a 45-35 victory, used more muscular language.

“That was the worst we’ve played all year,” he decided. “The whole team knew that’s not how you play Salisbury football.”

It wasn’t. Berry drove 78, 70 and 50 yards for touchdowns on its first three possessions. The first included not one but two fourth-down conversions — most damaging was a 38-yard downfield weave by Majeed Nasif on a faked punt.

Another was set up by the ultimate Black Friday bargain — a giveaway on a bad exchange between Knox and one of his running backs.

And the third featured back-to-back 19-yard runs

by Germone Hopper, an elusive ball-carrier who ran like he’d been dipped in grease.

Braided together, it helped the Cardinals build a 21 -7 halftime lead. As they jogged off the field, the guests were a haymaker away from making Salisbury one with the canvas.

“I thought we were gonna break away with it,” Berry quarterback Kenneth Patterson said. “We were passing right. We were blocking right. We were executing. It was a great feeling. I thought we were on our way.”

“We weren’t focused in the first half,” Knox said. “That had to be the worst half we’ve played all year, so being down only two TDs we still felt like we were OK if we would just come out and play Salisbury football in the second half.”

Top-seeded Brown scored on its first possession Friday night, and then never again, while second-seeded Catholic got points on all five first-half drives, rolled to a 24-point halftime lead and handed the Wonders a season-ending

45-7 loss in the third round of the 3AA playoffs at Memorial Stadium.

“Their offensive line is probably the best (Catholic line) I’ve ever seen,” Brown head coach Ron Massey said.

“They're well-coached and just a very good football team.

Not to say that we’re not a good football team. I'm proud of these kids. Sometimes you just play somebody that’s better than you, and we played somebody that was better than us tonight.”

Brown finished the season 12-2, and for the fourth time in six years, the end came at the hands of the Cougars (14-0).

The only time in the previous five tries that the Wonders have beaten Catholic, it took a

“We knew we could do it,” halfback Romar Morris said.

“The offense always has faith it can put up big points.”

Salisbury’s prime goal has been returning to the Western final, where it lost in numbing

fashion in 2009, and now it’s there. The Hornets will welcome Shelby to Ludwig Stadium next week. Salisbury is seeded lower in its pod but is a higher regional seed, so it will play at home.

Davie added another chapter to an incredible story by staving off visiting High Point Central, 18-15, in the 4A quarterfinals last night.

With their seventh comeback win overall and their third in three playoff games, the War Eagles reached the semifinals for the second time ever (2004 was the other) and

Save money with smart heating practices and weatherproofing

(ARA) - With the onset of cooler weather, people are starting to think about green - specifically, paying for heating bills and holiday expenses. A sure way to save green, as in money, is by making your home more energy efficient and space heating the rooms where you spend the most time instead of heating the entire house.

Over the past 10 years, a growing number of homeowners are choosing to heat those areas with renewable fuels, such as wood pellets, in pellet stoves or fireplace inserts. In addition to saving money, they are saving green, as in the environment, since burning pellets is considered carbon neutral. Pellets are grown, harvested and produced right here in the U.S., so they are also doing their part to reduce our country’s dependence on foreign oil.

A simple approach to weatherproofing Improving your home’s ability to retain heat will save you money. Weatherproofing can be broken down into a few simple steps, starting with adding insulation to your attic if needed and replacing worn-out weather stripping around doors and windows. These are do-it-yourself projects within the capabilities of many homeowners.

Having your home’s heating system serviced and the ductwork cleaned are also important steps. You’ll likely need to hire professionals for these tasks, but the improved efficiency of the entire system will make the minor investment well worth the cost.

Finally, install a programmable thermostat for your central heat system. Setting the temperature lower during the day when you are gone, and at night when you’re safely tucked under the comforter, can result in signifi-

Fireplace inserts, like this Harman P35i, are installed into the fireboxes of existing masonry wood-burning fireplaces, making them significantly more efficient.

cantly lower heating bills. The average homeowner can save about $180 a year by properly setting a programmable thermostat, according to EnergyStar.gov.

Consider space heating with alternative fuels Fossil fuels, such as propane and fuel oil, release harmful greenhouse gases into the environment. While it may be impractical to Often made from recycled wood byproducts, pellets are a cost stacompletely replace ble, low carbon home heating alternative to fossil fuels. fossil fuels in your home, it is possible to heat areas on your central furnace and use with renewable fuels like wood the pellet appliance to heat the pellets. This involves having a areas where you spend the most pellet stove installed in a central time. Similar to the concept of a area, or a pellet insert installed hybrid car, the pellet appliance into the firebox of an existing provides the primary heat with wood-burning fireplace. To gain the furnace as a backup - working efficiencies, try turning the tem- together for a more environmenperature down 10 to 15 degrees tally responsible outcome.

“Today’s pellet stove technology is light-years ahead of what it was even 10 years ago, making heating with renewable pellet fuel a practical option for many households,” says Jeni Forman, vice president of marketing for Quadra-Fire and Harman, makers of pellet-fueled stoves. “Many models can produce steady, regulated heat for up to 24 hours on a single load of pellets, with minimal ash clean up. Due to pellet density and high burn efficiencies, the stoves emit extremely low outside-air particulates, helping to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases associated with fossil fuels.”

Now is an opportune time to purchase a pellet stove or fireplace insert. Buy one before Dec. 31, 2010, and a federal tax credit can reimburse you for 30 percent of the cost, up to $1,500. You can realize more savings if your home’s central heat system uses fuel oil, propane or electricity.

Based on 2010 fuel prices and fully heating a 1,700 square foot home in cold-climate areas such as Upper New England, the Midwest and Northwest, switching from fuel oil to pellets can save approximately $800 per heating season. If you are currently heating with propane, the savings would be about $1,000, and if currently using electricity, $1,800 per heating season.

“The combination of weatherproofing your home and space heating with a pellet appliance has many benefits,” says Forman.

“From tax credits on pellet stoves, to real savings on utility bills, these green home improvements can really add up for homeowners this winter.”

Warm your home for the holidays with energy-efficient products (ARA) - Fall colors, cooler weather and crackling fires mean the holidays are right around the corner. As consumers prepare themselves and their homes for colder temperatures, many will seek out energy-efficient products. By making smart decisions, you can be sensible, yet stylish, when the cold weather, family and friends arrive for the holidays.

The first place to start: your windows and doors. Replacing old, drafty windows and doors with fashionable, more energy-efficient ones can help you save energy and lower your utility bills year-round. If you’re an American homeowner, it could even help you save at tax time if you purchase and install before Dec. 31.

Long-term energy savings “Today’s budget-conscious consumers demand energy-saving products,” says Kathy Krafka Harkema, energy efficiency expert at Pella Windows and Doors. “To help stretch your paycheck and add to the comfort of your home, replace items with more energy-efficient options that help provide long-term savEnvironmental Protection ings and a short-term defense against rising U.S. Agency and the Department of Enenergy rates.” ergy, helps consumers identify enThe Energy Star program, created by the ergy-efficient products.

FREE Home Seller's Seminar!

12/7/2010 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce Building, 204 East Innes Street, Salisbury, NC Our Seminar will answere the following questions and more: • What is the current market outlook for real estate?

• Should you sell yourself or hire a real estate firm?

• How to price your home in a Buyer’s Market?

• Getting your home ready for sale.

• Handling and negotiating “low-ball” offers.

• Handling home inspections and repair request.

Improve your energy efficiency To help improve your home’s energy efficiency, consider these tips: * During cold weather, keep window treatments on southern-facing windows open during the day to capture the sun’s heat. Close them at night to help keep heat inside your home. During warmer months, close the blinds, shades or curtains during the heat of the day to reflect the sun’s heat away from your home’s interior. * Choose double- or triple-pane windows with low-emissivity (low-e) coatings to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs, especially from northern-facing windows. * Keep window treatments closed when the sun is shining in from eastand west-facing windows to help reduce the heat buildup from solar heat in your home.

Regardless of the type or style of windows and doors you choose, it’s essential that they are installed properly for best performance in sealing out air and moisture.

Short-term style solutions Pella is teaming up with Lowe’s to make it easy for homeowners to jumpstart their next energy-saving home improvement project.

Find a daily energy-saving tip this fall at www.lowes.com/pella and view the variety of energy-saving products.

Keep out cold and pests - Call a professional below!

Insulation Check the condition of the insulation in your attic and basement. Replace any that needs it and add more to make your home energy efficient.

Chimney Have your chimney cleaned by a professional and install a screen over it to keep out animals, birds and debris.

Garage Doors Make sure the weather stripping at the bottom of your garage door is in good condition and keep snow and ice away from the door to prevent it from warping.

Driveways, Patios and Walks Inspect your driveways, patios and walks and repair any places where the concrete is cracked or broken.

Roofs Inspect your roof and replace any rotten or cracked shingles. If you have a chimney vent, dormer or skylight, make sure the joints are protected by a metal flashing and the edges of the flashing are sealed with roof cement to prevent leaks.

We are the Preferred Dealer of Simonton Windows

Furnace Have your furnace and heating ducts professionally cleaned. Replace any dirty filters and check to confirm the thermostat and pilot light are working properly. Be sure the pipe bringing fuel to the furnace is not loose or leaking.

Siding Inspect the siding on your home and replace any pieces that are loose or warped.

Plumbing Become familiar with your plumbing. Find out where the pipes are located and learn how to shut off the water in case the pipes should freeze. Drain and store all garden hoses and sprinklers.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Bargain shoppers, braving rain or frigid weather, crowded the nation’s stores in the wee hours of the night to get their hands on deals from TVs to toys on Black Friday.

Early signs pointed to bigger crowds at many stores including Best Buy, Sears, and Toys R Us for the traditional start to the holiday shopping season.

In an encouraging sign for retailers and for the economy, more shoppers appeared to be buying for themselves than last year, when such indulgences were limited. Lengthened hours that pushed some store openings into Thanksgiving also appeared to pay off.

An insider trading case last year that federal authorities said was the biggest ever is providing a recipe for another case that may be even bigger.

The current case is largely an extension of work that led to the arrest of Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam in October 2009. The Galleon investigation marked the first time that federal authorities used wiretaps in an insider trading probe.

Similarly, wiretaps led to the first arrest in the latest case.

Don Ching Trang Chu, a consulting firm executive, was arrested Wednesday on allegations of providing private information about a company’s corporate earnings to a hedge fund.

The FBI this week searched the offices of three hedge funds and subpoenaed some of Wall Street’s most influential firms, including Janus Capital Group and SAC Capital.

Europe struggled mightily Friday to keep the debt crisis from engulfing country after country. Portugal passed austerity measures to fend off the speculative trades pushing it toward a bailout and Ireland rushed to negotiate its own imminent rescue.

As Portugal and Spain insisted they will not seek outside help, Europe braced for what seems inevitable — more expensive bailouts.

The Portuguese Parliament approved an unpopular debtreducing package, including tax hikes and cuts in pay and welfare benefits. But while that helped to avoid a sharper deterioration in bond markets, the sense among analysts was that the move had only bought a little time.
