County OKs trimmed ethics code

OUR STATE

Approved version won’t allow board to reprimand for code violations

Authorities in New York arrested a convicted sex offender on Monday in the slaying of a North Carolina police chief’s daughter, hours after the lawman made an emotional plea for help

By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee commissioners signed off Monday on an updated code of ethics that eschewed an attorney-drafted procedure for vetting commissioners accused of wrongdoing.

The board voted unanimously at Commissioner Linda Shook’s request to approve the policy but remove language outlining a set of hearings and testimony to determine the merits of ethical complaints against commissioners. The discarded provisions

also allowed board members to censure, or officially reprimand, commissioners for code violations. “It has no meat,” Shook said Monday. “And I think voters have a way of censuring commissioners at election time.” Board of Commissioners

Chairman Richard Hayes said the panel will address allegations of ethical lapses as they come along, despite County Manager John Crumpton’s recommendation that the board have a procedure in place ahead of time.

GET LOST IN THE ART Gross Farms’ annual maze uses iconic building for its path By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — John and Tina Gross’s 15 acres of cornfield may appear ordinary from the ground, but when viewed from above, a unique tribute to Sanford takes shape. The couple, proprietors of Gross Farms on Pickett Road, have been welcoming patrons to their annual corn maze since 2002. The design varies each year, and Tina got the idea for this year’s theme while participating in

the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Sanford program. Her vision became reality with the help of Idaho-based contractor, Mazepplay. “I said, ‘I’d like to see the old city hall and the Sanford logo,’” she recalled. Her design also features brick and pottery — ”the two biggest things Sanford’s known for.” The final product incorporates all of these elements, John said, and was created by using a GPS and a tractor

SANFORD — A local woman was killed Saturday when she stumbled into the path of an oncoming motorist, Sanford police said. According to a report from the Sanford Police Department, Marlene Elizabeth Hamilton, 74, died when she was struck by a pickup truck on Hawkins Avenue Saturday afternoon. Hamilton, who lived at 447 Oak Branch Lane in Sanford, was crossing the street near the Hawkins Avenue Dodge dealership after 5 p.m. Saturday when she stumbled and fell in front of a truck carrying a trailer, a report said. The driver of the 2007 Dodge truck, Franklin D. Terrell of Timberlake, said he could not stop in time to avoid hitting Hamilton. A police report estimated Terrell was traveling 40 mph when he struck Hamilton on Hawkins Avenue. The speed limit on that section of the road is 45 mph. Sgt. Marshall Cox of the Sanford Police Department said Hamilton had a vision problem and likely didn’t see the oncoming truck until it was too late. “She tried to stop and that’s when she stumbled,” Cox said. Hamilton was pronounced dead by a Central Carolina Hospital doctor about 30 minutes later, police said. Terrell told police the trailer attached to his truck preventing him from stopping before he hit Hamilton. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to have been a factor in the accident.

Almanac Today is Tuesday, Sept. 21, the 264th day of 2010. There are 101 days left in the year. This day in history: On Sept. 21, 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass. by Frank Duryea, who had designed the gasolinepowered vehicle with his brother, Charles. In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial that declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” In 1937, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published. In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout ever. In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.) In 1989, Hurricane Hugo, packing sustained winds up to 135 mph, crashed into Charleston, S.C. Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, involved in a collision with a soft-drink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit.

Crime at a minimum at regional fair

SANFORD — Sanford police say there was little to no crime to report at this year’s Lee Regional Fair. “It was an excellent year this time,” said Maj. Kevin Gray of the Sanford Police Department. Gray said no arrests were made during the six-day fair, which drew record crowds but few altercations. Fair organizers estimated a total attendance exceeding 30,000 for the event. Police were on hand for each day of the fair to keep the grounds civil. Gray said a handful of scuffles broke out over the weekend, although he said the fights were usually broken up by police before punches were thrown. At a few points in the late evening hours Saturday, crowds of swelling teens were spotted arguing and shoving on the fair’s midway or trading punches just outside the fairgrounds. Once police arrived, the teens would scatter with no apparent injuries. Gray said the police department kept 10 officers on the grounds Tuesday through Thursday and added three more on Friday and Saturday, the busiest nights of the week. The number of police on hand was dialed back to

between Sept. 14 and 19, according to Turner, which amounts to a record-breaking turnout. He said until this year, attendance has topped out at around 27,000. Poor weather and a struggling economy caused turnout to lag by about 16 percent last year. Organizers aimed to entice visitors in 2010 with an enlarged midway and new offerings like the Carolina Dock Dogs, motorcycle racing and a high-wire circus. “People have learned that the Lion’s Club puts on a first-class event ... ,” Turner said. “It’s a great family atmosphere, and I think our numbers show that.” Between 8,000 and 9,000 people came to the fair Friday night, the chairman estimated, and the demolition derby that evening was among the fair’s largest draws. Saturday was the event’s biggest day overall, he said, with “standing room only” at the wrestling event and a crowd of about 1,000 at the motorcycle races. “Add all of these shows up, and there’s a lot of things going on,” Turner said. “I think that’s what makes our fair so popular.” Fair Steering Committee member Teresa Dew

In years past, police have reported a number of fights and violence in the weekend hours, although 2010 appeared to be an improvement, according to Gray. “This year, it was relatively quiet,” he said. — Billy Ball

Blue Cross to refund $155M to N.C. policyholders RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s largest health insurer says it will refund $155 million to more than 215,000 individual policyholders as a result of the Affordable Care Act that took effect earlier this year. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina chief executive Brad Wilson said in a news release Monday that individual policyholders will get back the equivalent of one and half months of premiums paid. The average refund will be about $700 and should be paid before the end of the year. The company also said the state Insurance Department approved a 5.3 percent rate increase for some individual policies, less than the 7 percent Blue Cross had requested.

said participation in the fair’s pageants almost doubled this year; increasing from 52 to 98. In addition, the cheerleading competition returned after last year’s hiatus — with 12 teams and roughly 200 girls showing off their skills. “We’re very excited about our community coming together,” Dew said. “We were able to reach out to Harnett, Moore and Lee counties for participation in all of these events.” Fair organizers are already looking ahead to 2011, Turner said, when patrons will see the quality they’ve come to expect and then some. “We learned that our people love motorsports,” Turner said, which is why figure-eight car racing may be added to the roster next year. He added that motorcycle races will be back next near, and “they will be bigger and better.” With a successful fair behind them, Turner and Dew thanked the fair sponsors, visitors and other backers for their support. Proceeds from the event help to fund the Lions Club’s charitable causes. According to Dew, the Lions work with 50 to 100 sponsors and other contributing organizations to put the fair on each year. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do it,” she said.

attached to a tiller. The farm’s 2010 maze contains nearly 5 miles of pathways and consists of three separate puzzles. According to Tina, “We try to add something each year to change things up,” and this time, the couple has built in an air of mystery. The maze’s storyline, which the couple dubbed FSI: Farm Scene Investigation, was inspired by the popularity of television shows like CSI. Visitors are charged with finding out what became of fictional Farmer Joe, who has gone missing. Seven animal characters are suspected in the disappearance, and clues about the crime are placed throughout the maze. “The objective is to go out and find all of our checkpoints,” Tina said. “There are 15 out there.” Patrons who are skilled at reading maps can complete the maze in about 45 minutes, John said, but those who are not may take significantly longer. In the past, up to 10,000 people have accepted the challenge during the six weeks the attraction is open. The maze opened on Sept. 18 this year, and it will close on Nov. 7. Families can also take advantage of an 11-acre pumpkin patch, hayrides through the property and an inflatable jump pillow for children. “People love to go out and pick their own

Ethics Continued from Page 1A

Crumpton said members have been accused of malfeasance in the past, although a commissioner has never been censured by the board. Board members began huddling on the ethics policy after state lawmakers imposed mandatory updates on some language. The document bars commissioners from breaking the law or entering into potential conflicts of interest. Commissioners clashed once this summer over a provision to ban members from holding leadership in local political parties. Shook, who serves as chairman of the Lee County GOP, said the rule

Visitors can pick strawberries and find an array of other produce at various times of the year. “The maze is one of the argitourism components of our farm,” Tina said. “Agritourism is a growing means of diversification for farm families.” Corn planting for fall begins at Gross Farms around July 4, which is off-season for the area but allows the crop to stay fresh longer in the maze. John said a combination of heat and drought this year made growing anything a challenge. “The corn did make

was an effort to stifle her. Other commissioners denied Shook’s accusations, but agreed to remove the so-called “Shook clause” after a board attorney said it would not hold up to a court challenge. Crumpton said the language regarding party leadership and censure procedures was not legally required under state law. He said the complaint protocol would have placed “the burden of proof” on those who accused commissioners of wrongdoing. “That’s to protect the board against frivolous complaints for political purposes,” Crumpton said. The axed portions of the policy included options for the board to launch an investigation into one or more mem-

it around head high,” he said, “so that’s a big plus.” The efforts have already paid off with the maze’s best-ever opening weekend, which John attributed to being a well-established attraction and actively getting the word out. Operating a corn maze and a pumpkin patch is definitely not for the faint of heart, his wife said. Making it come together successfully requires “a family and group effort.” “It has been an adventure that has grown every year,” she said.

Board members would have followed an attorney-recommended schedule of hearings to test the complaint, with commissioners finally taking a vote on whether or not to reprimand the accused party. The document also called for commissioners to refer complaints to the Lee District Attorney if a member might have broken the law.

advisory panels, although those talks fizzled after commissioners argued that they could simply remove the appointees if they acted improperly. Commissioners took heat from at least one angry audience member, Russell Noel of Sanford. Noel said the board’s ethics policy was filled with “vague and unenforceable” language, using words like “should” instead of “shall” or “must” to impose guidelines. “Only the likes of Mike Easley, Bev Perdue, Charlie Rangel and Bernie Madoff would approve of this policy,” Noel said.

Signs, signs ... everywhere, political signs Our View Issue The November election is fast approaching, which means campaign signs are beginning to pop up everywhere

Our stance There can be too much of a good thing, and already, some candidates’ signs are literally “littering” our landscape

he election season is well under way — even though Election Day is not until Nov. 2 and early voting doesn’t begin until Oct. 14. If you don’t think so, just take a ride around Lee County and note the various campaign signs that already have begun to dot intersections and the sides of roads. And we’re still better than three weeks away before the early voting period begins. We’re not in a presidential year, but there are many intriguing “high profile” races in our fair burgh, including U.S. House of Representatives, state House and state Senate and a few county commissioner seats.

So, the many signs should come as no surprise. After all, even in this era of Facebook, Twitter and spam e-mail, election signs are still a good way to get one’s name out in front of the public. Their purpose are two-fold. First, having your sign in residents’ yards shows other voters (undecided or uninformed voters) that you’re somebody worth backing. And second, getting your name out there can do wonders for your vote count. The idea isn’t that you’re getting your political agenda out there through your signs ... the idea is that you’re getting your name out there. You’d be surprised how many people vote for the name

that either sounds most familiar or looks better on the ballot. Still, there can be too much when it comes to political signs, and already, we’re seeing too much from some candidates. For example, there is one particular area in the Sanford-Lee County area where there appear to be five signs for one particular candidate within just a small area. All five signs are visible from one location. It’s understandable that these candidates and their supporters are doing their best to make sure his or her name is well identified by the general public so that it will be well remembered when it’s time to vote.

But, one sign per general location is quite enough. There’s no need for any one campaign to clutter a general area. Not only is it unsightly, but it’s also unnecessary. And “littering” the landscape with your name can backfire ...especially when those signs are blocking lines of sight or just appearing in gross overabundance. In these days when politics too often can take an ugly turn, we hope that the candidates and their supporters will operate within the boundaries of good sportsmanship. And, of course, let’s hope that the candidates and their supporters will use good judgment in where to place their campaign signs.

Letters to the Editor He with the most political signs is the most annoying

Obvious conflict

ALEIGH — What would happen if an investigator from the state auditor’s office, who was once a high-ranking official in another state agency, was given the task of auditing his or her former agency? You think there might be a bit of public outcry about a conflict of interest? Do you think auditors’ offices around the country have policies to prevent this sort of thing? The answers: Yes and yes. Yet, for a number of years, state law enforcement officials batted nary an eye when it came to a lab accrediting agency headed and managed by former SBI lab technicians accrediting the very lab where they once worked. Since 1995, the accrediting group responsible for signing off on SBI lab procedures, ASCLD-LAB, has been headed by Ralph Keaton. For 30 years, Keaton worked for the SBI. The accrediting group is located in Garner, outside of Raleigh, less than 10 miles from the main SBI lab. North Carolina legislators have now turned their attention to the troubled lab, where published reports show lab technicians either exaggerated or misstated findings in criminal cases. In some instances, technicians seemed to hunt for the results wanted by prosecutors. An independent review ordered by Attorney General Roy Cooper found questionable results in 229 cases. The poor standards have led to at least one wrongful murder conviction. They may also cause a quagmire of court appeals, not to mention undermining the courtroom credibility of future lab results. Last week, state legislators suggested that the SBI lab may need a new accrediting agency. That caused cries of foul from Keaton. He told the Associated Press that legislators require a fuller understanding of the accreditation process and how lab procedures have evolved. He says he’s ready to talk to legislators. “There’s not a lab in the country that could have measured up to the standards we have today 25 years ago. I think the accreditation process we have today is extremely robust and meets all the needs of a quality lab,” Keaton said. Chris Swecker, the former FBI agent who helped conduct the independent review for Cooper, sees it differently. “I went into it thinking it was the gold standard,” Swecker told legislators. “I now think it is a minimum standard.” ... So, either the standards are poor, or they are largely worthless when it comes to ensuring that the SBI produces good science and then transfers that science to the courtroom. But even if that weren’t the case, ASCLD-LAB’s standards don’t seem very high on the conflict of interest front. An accrediting agency managed by three former SBI officials should never have been signing off on the procedures of a lab where they once worked. Maybe some scientists need study in another field — ethics.

Democratic prospects

ASHINGTON — While it is great, tempting fun to write about tea party excess — when, since Cotton Mather was young, has witchcraft been so relevant to the national debate? — the real political story lies elsewhere. The last few weeks have seen Democratic problems solidify across the country, in ways the Not-So-Great Communicator has been powerless to prevent. The bottom is dropping out of polls for Democratic candidates in states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio, where battlegrounds threaten to become routs. Senate races in bluish places from Wisconsin to Connecticut to West Virginia are suddenly within Republican reach. Onceshining Democratic Senate prospects such as Brad Ellsworth in Indiana have gone dark on television, as party money has fled to more realistic races. Perhaps the most dramatic example of the trend is Ohio, where I caught up by phone with Republican Senate candidate Rob Portman riding his campaign RV to an event in Youngstown. “It feels pretty good,” he said, with an understatement typical of his mild manner. “When I first got in this race, everything was different. In our first poll, in February of last year, we were down 15 points.” A Quinnipiac poll last week had Portman up by 20. Just two years ago, both Democrats and Republicans suspected that Ohio was becoming another Illinois — a realigned Democratic stronghold. Ohio independents had become alienated from Republicans over both spending and ethics. Democrats took control of key state government offices and added a million registered voters. Barack Obama won the state handily in 2008. Even in the spring of this year, Ohio lagged behind national Republican momentum, with Portman and his Democratic opponent, Lee Fisher, locked in a tight race. But Republican gains are now greater in Ohio than elsewhere in the country. The Quinnipiac poll produced the single-most startling figure of the midterm election so far: 65 percent of Ohio’s likely independent voters now disapprove of Obama’s job performance — a 2-1 rejection. Obama has lost the center of the electorate in the center of America. “Independent voters in Ohio always make a difference,” said Portman. “They gave the administration a chance, and saw all their hopes disappointed. Obama campaigned with a centrist tone. Instead, they saw a sharp turn to the left. High deficits. Continued unemployment at 10 percent. A stimulus package that not only didn’t work, it didn’t work and spent too much.” At the same time that Democrats have massively disappointed Ohio independents, they have provoked Republican intensity. In one poll, 75 percent of Ohio Republicans described themselves as “certain” to vote, compared to 52 percent of Democrats. Portman — a mainstream conservative — reports

Michael Gerson Columnist Michael Gerson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

that the Ohio tea party movement has been “very helpful” in his Senate bid. Outside a few places such as Delaware and Alaska, Republicans and tea party activists seem to be getting along nicely. Portman also argues that the issues are breaking against Democrats, especially health care. “I’ve done 70 plant tours,” he told me. “It is the first issue people bring up to me. They know their premiums are going up. New mandates and new costs are creating uncertainty. Support for the health care law in Ohio was initially above the national numbers. Now it is below. There is a general sense that it makes it harder to hire.” So, in Ohio, Republicans have the advantage on the three I’s — independents, intensity and issues. Add to this, as Portman has done, a strong grass-roots campaign organization, and a wonky, forward-looking emphasis on employment, energy and health care proposals, and there are all the makings of a Republican wave. Ohio, recently the symbol of Democratic realignment, has become the graveyard of Democratic campaign themes. Portman — who was President George W. Bush’s trade representative and budget director — was thought vulnerable to attacks on the Bush era. But this Democratic argument appealed mainly to the already converted. And it was complicated by a development some did not expect. A poll in late August found that Ohio voters, by a 50-42 margin, would rather have Bush in the White House than Obama. As media attention has been irresistibly attracted to Christine O’Donnell’s aura of oddness, the main show of American politics is obscured. Ohio’s Democratic candidate for the Senate is now about twice as far behind Portman as O’Donnell is behind her Democratic opponent in Delaware, Chris Coons. Democratic prospects have broadly soured, and they will be difficult to uncurdle.

Today’s Prayer For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) PRAYER: Father, help me to live more for You and realize the sacrifice You made in my behalf. Amen.

To the Editor: The election is not all that far off, and I see that the campaign signs are rising from the ground like wild onions after a spring rain. There are some candidates who must think that it is a contest to see who can have the most signs up, and that the candidate with the most signs will, by default, win the election. This may be a variation on “he who dies with the most toys wins.” Recently I rode through one crossroad where there were signs up at each of the four corners for this one candidate. How dumb is that? And when riding down the highway, I saw a campaign sign for this same candidate in front of every highway sign whether it is showing a road to the right (never a road to the left), a crossroad, a traffic signal or just an information sign. I was surprised there wasn’t a campaign sign up in front of the dead possum. I know that the candidates themselves are not the ones putting all these signs up, but they are responsible for the people who are, and these people are getting a bit overzealous in sign placement. The way I look at it is if a candidate is running for office on the premise of reducing taxes and in general advocating a return to fiscal responsibility, then it seems hypocritical that this same candidate would show fiscal irresponsibility by having so many signs literally everywhere. Placing signs on every square foot of open ground is not only a waste of money but is a really good way to irritate a lot of people. If you have all that money to spend for campaigning, why not just hire the Goodyear blimp to fly over twice a day with your name and whatever office you are campaigning for in lights? But with all these signs everywhere I ride, I have finally decided that everything being equal, my vote will be cast for the candidate with the minimum number of signs ... or the one who hires the blimp.

Suspect caught in slaying of police chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities in New York arrested a convicted sex offender on Monday in the slaying of a North Carolina police chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, hours after the lawman made an emotional plea for help tracking the suspect down. FBI agents and U.S. Marshals took Michael Neal Harvey, 34, into custody without incident in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He was wanted on a murder warrant in the killing of Valerie Hamilton, a 23-year-old preschool teacher and swim instructor whose body was found in a Charlotte selfstorage unit on Saturday. Merl Hamilton, police chief in the Charlottearea city of Concord, used an appearance on ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Morning Americaâ&#x20AC;? to ask for help from law enforcement around the country, his voice breaking several times as he spoke. He later described Valerie Hamilton as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect daughterâ&#x20AC;? in an interview with The Associated Press and said he felt kinship with the officers tracking Harvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law enforcement across this country is like a brotherhood and a sisterhood and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help me with this, and that they can get out there and find

this guy,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton told the AP before Harveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest. Valerie Hamilton was last seen alive at a Charlotte tavern. Police have said they think Harvey is the man spotted on surveillance video leaving the tavern with her early Wednesday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Rodney Monroe said at a news conference Monday that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether the woman was abducted or may have chosen to go with Harvey. Investigators believe she was killed shortly after, either at Harveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlotte home, a motel room where he stayed late last week, or at the storage locker site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All three of those are prominent crime scenes,â&#x20AC;? Monroe said. An autopsy was being performed Monday. Her body had been wrapped in a material that Monroe wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specify. Hundreds of miles away in New York, the manhunt drew to a close on Monday at a house near where Harvey used to live. The suspect was asleep on a couch at a male friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house when 18 state, local and federal officers arrived, said Daniel Larish of the U.S. Marshals Service.

STATE BRIEFS Man gets at least 13 years in Fayetteville killing FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man will spend at least 13 years in prison after he admitted killing another man while robbing him of $800 worth of marijuana in a Fayetteville parking lot. The Fayetteville Observer reported Monday that 20year-old Terrell Jamal Hall pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy as part of a plea deal. A judge sentenced Hall to between 13 years and one month and 16 years and six months in prison. Hall admitted to killing 20year-old Gregory Mosley Jr. in November 2008. Investigators say Mosley was shot inside a vehicle at a Fayetteville shopping center. Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-defendant, 28year-old Rodney Carr, is awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge.

Durham LED maker Cree announces 244 new jobs DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Durhambased Cree Inc. plans to hire 244 new workers in a $135 million expansion of its local manufacturing operations. Gov. Beverly Perdue announced the new jobs Monday. Perdue calls Cree a homegrown success story. Company executive Greg Merritt says the new jobs are in addition to a plan announced last year to hire 575 new workers by the end of 2012. Cree currently has 1,723 workers in Durham County.

Cree makes energy-efficient LED lighting. Their products have been used everywhere from the Olympic Games in Beijing to the cafeteria in a congressional office building. The expansion is being aided by up to $2.2 million in state grant money. Cree will get the money if it meets annual performance targets for 10 years.

Agent Orange spending concerns GOP lawmaker

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The leading Republican on the Senate Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Affairs Committee said Monday that he also has concerns about a proposal that would spend billions of dollars on disability compensation for Vietnam veterans who get heart disease. North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr added his voice to leading Democrats on the committee who have reservations about the spending and plan to discuss the issue at a Capitol Hill hearing this week. Because of concerns about the defoliant Agent Orange, the Department of Veterans Affairs wants to allow tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans to get compensation for heart disease, a common ailment for older adults. Burr said he shares some of the same concerns raised by Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, a Vietnam combat veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make sure that, one, the science has a causal link, and two, that the defined population is an appropriate one,â&#x20AC;? Burr said in an interview, his first public comments on the topic.

HEADACHES I knew that something was wrong because of the pain in my lower Back. On May 31st, 2010, I had to go to the emergency room because the pain was so sever that I could not walk. They did a CAT scan and said nothing was wrong. They gave me some pain medicine that did not take the pain away. I was using crutches so that I could walk. My friend at church told me that I should go to Dr. Ammons. He was the chiropractor who had been helping her and her husband for years. I had an appointment to go to see the orthopedist who had said that he would send me to a surgeon. I did not want surgery, I ďŹ nally took my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and called the Dr. Ammonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ofďŹ ce. I had taken my records with me (MRI,CAT, and X-rays). Dr. Ammons said that he would review my records and would tell me the next day if he thought that he could help me. He thoroughly and clearly explained to me what was wrong and the procedures that would be used to correct it. On Thursday, June 29th, 2010, I began my treatments. On Friday, June 30th, I had already noticed a difference. I have been improving ever since without surgery. They are kind, friendly, and very professional. I was so glad that I chose to call Dr. Ammonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clinic instead of having surgery. Jean Brady 8-6-2010 Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions. Why suffer when help may be just a phone call away? Call not for an examination to see if speciďŹ c upper cervical care might beneďŹ t you.

NATION BRIEFS Aspiring rapper pleads guilty to killing 4 in Va.

FARMVILLE, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An aspiring rapper in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;horrorcoreâ&#x20AC;? genre pleaded guilty Monday to killing his 16-yearold girlfriend, her parents and her friend days after the adults chaperoned the teens at a music festival featuring artists rhyming about raping, killing and mutilating people. Richard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Samâ&#x20AC;? McCroskey, 21, was sentenced to life in prison as part of his agreement to plead guilty to two counts of capital murder and two counts of first-degree murder. He initially was charged with four counts of capital murder, which could have resulted in the death penalty if convicted on the charges. His attorney, Cary Bowen, said after the hearing that the prospect of a conviction on capital murder charges was a major factor in agreeing to the guilty plea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four bodies are pretty compelling evidence,â&#x20AC;? Bowen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the kind of stuff that citizens any place in this country are terrified it could happen to them. This is the kind of case death penalties arise from.â&#x20AC;?

Utah wildfire size cut; sparked at firing range

HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A wind-stoked wildfire sparked at a firing range during a National Guard training session blazed across thousands of acres Monday as crews rushed to keep it from burning more than the three homes that authorities said were

destroyed overnight. The fire moved back on itself Monday as the Utah National Guard acknowledged it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time that live-fire exercises had sparked a fire at Camp Williams, a sprawling compound 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. Revising earlier reports, fire spokesman Mike Bohling told The Associated Press that three homes were destroyed, not four. Bohling attributed the widely reported discrepancy to confusion during the overnight firefighting operation, and said several sheds, recreational vehicles and at least one water pump house had been damaged or destroyed in the fire area.

13 from Calif. sect found in park after tense hunt PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Families of the missing fretted. Deputies fanned out across the high desert on horses and in helicopters. Neighbors marveled at the commotion of patrol cars and satellite trucks that appeared suddenly in their quiet streets. The only people who seemed to take the disappearance of 13 adherents of a breakaway religious sect in stride were the members themselves, who were found enjoying the afternoon in leisure and prayer in a park Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess it was a misunderstanding, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry about that,â&#x20AC;? Martha Clavel, 39, told KNX radio about 24 hours she and the other three adults and nine children were reported missing by worried husbands.

FDA TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MODIFIED SALMON WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal food regulators pondered Monday whether to say, for the first time, that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to market a genetically engineered animal as safe for people to eat. The Food and Drug Administration is holding two days of hearings on a request to market genetically modified salmon. Ron Stotish, CEO of AquaBounty, the Massachusetts company that made the marketing request, said at the meeting Monday that his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fish product is safe and environmentally sustainable. Critics, however, call the modified salmon â&#x20AC;&#x153;frankenfishâ&#x20AC;? that could cause allergies in humans and the eventual decimation of the wild salmon population. An FDA advisory committee is reviewing the science of the genetically engineered fish this week and hearing such criticisms as the agency ponders approval. The FDA has already said that the salmon, which grows twice as fast as its conventional â&#x20AC;&#x153;sisters,â&#x20AC;? is as safe to eat as the traditional variety. Whether the public will have an appetite for it is another matter. Genetic engineering is already widely used for crops, but the govern-

Although the potential benefits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and profits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are huge, many individuals have qualms about manipulating the genetic code of other living creatures. Part of the two-day hearing will focus on labeling of the fish. It is possible that if the modified salmon is approved, consumers would not even know they were eating it. Current FDA regulations only require modified foods to be labeled as such if the food is substantially different than the conventional version, and the agency has said that the modified salmon is essentially the same as the Atlantic salmon.

Approval of the salmon would open the door for a variety of other genetically engineered animals, including an environmentally friendly pig that is being developed in Canada or cattle that are resistant to mad cow disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For future applications out there the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit,â&#x20AC;? said David Edwards of the Biotechnology Industry Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can imagine it, scientists can try to do it.â&#x20AC;? AquaBounty submitted its first application for FDA approval in 1995, but the agency did not decide until two years ago to consider applications for genetically engineered animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move seen as a breakthrough by the biotechnology industry.

Genetically engineered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or GE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; animals are not clones, which the FDA has already said are safe to eat. Clones are copies of an animal. With GE animals, their DNA has been altered to produce a desirable characteristic. In the case of the salmon, AquaBounty has added a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon that allows the fish to produce their growth hormone all year long. The engineers were able to keep the hormone active by using another gene from an eel-like fish called an ocean pout that acts like an on switch for the hormone, according to the company. Conventional salmon only produce the growth hormone some of the time. In documents released ahead of the hearing, the FDA said there were no biologically relevant differences between the engineered salmon and conventional salmon, and there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from its consumption. FDA scientists speaking Monday said there are very few differences between the modified and conventional fish. Critics have two main concerns: The safety of the food to humans and the salmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect on the environment.

‘Glee’ returns with angst, music

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Glee” is back for its sophomore year with a new football coach, two new ear- and eye-catching students, and an identity crisis for big man on campus Finn. There’s also something of an identity crisis for Fox TV’s hit series as trouble comes fast and furious for the McKinley High glee club and its members in Tuesday’s debut episode (8 p.m. EDT). There’s barely room for the buoyancy that infused “Glee” last season. “Let’s show them how down we are,” says glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), challenging his students to stage a number that will persuade others to join the club branded as a way station for losers. Instead, the hour itself verges on being a downer. Will goes to the dark side with cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, Rachel’s selfabsorption becomes ickier and, most unsettling of all, a molestation accusation is played, literally, with a wink. But there’s still joy to be had in the series that was nominated for a best comedy Emmy Award, losing last month to “Modern Family,” as the glee clubbers make the most of “Empire State of Mind” and Lea Michele,

Dot Jones, Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison are shown in the season premiere episode of “Glee” airing Tuesday at 8 p.m. on FOX. as Broadway-bound belter Rachel, owns (no surprise) “What I Did for Love.” There’s also the introduction of two fresh-faced students with singing chops: an exchange student with a big smile and bigger voice (played by teenage pop star Charice, whose fan club includes Oprah Winfrey); and a golden-boy athlete (Chord Overstreet of “iCarly,” with cuteness of Justin Bieber dimensions). Can they help McKinley’s New Directions, which last year fell short at the regional competition, make it to the nationals in the Big Apple and defeat arch rival Vocal Adrena-

line? Maybe. The other McKinley newcomer is a female gridiron coach with a winning record, who quickly proves a formidable rival for Cheerios chief Sue (Emmy-winner Jane Lynch). Coach Shannon Beiste (pronounced “beast” because “it’s French,” she helpfully explains) wants the school budget to put football ahead of cheerleading. That won’t do for Sue, who enlists Will in a plot to undermine Beiste (an effective Dot Marie Jones). A “female football coach is like a male nurse: sin against nature,” snarls

Sue. Coach Beiste doesn’t quite have the hang of trash talk, telling Sue, “You’re all coffee and no omelet.” Quarterback-singer Finn (Cory Monteith) becomes an inadvertent victim of the faculty clash and has to cope with the fallout while nurturing his reignited romance with Rachel. Finn’s former love, Quinn (Dianna Agron) is back in pre-pregnancy form and ready to reclaim her spot as Cheerios queen bee. Santana (Naya Rivera), meanwhile, is finding that the quest for physical perfection comes at a price.

Hilton pleads in Vegas arrest, avoids jail LAS VEGAS (AP) — Paris Hilton can still sashay down red carpets and hit the club scene but she better not step outside the law for the next year after pleading guilty Monday to misdemeanor charges stemming from her cocaine arrest last month at a Las Vegas resort. Hilton, who faced a felony drug charge, avoided jail time by acknowledging during the Las Vegas Justice Court hearing that she had cocaine in her purse and lied to police when she was arrested. She will serve a year of probation under the terms of a plea deal and faces a year in jail if she is arrested for anything other than a minor traffic violation during that time. “The purpose of this at this point is that you change your conduct,” Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure told the hotel heiress. “The Clark County Detention Center is not the WaldorfAstoria.” Hilton, 29, pleaded guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer. She must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.

ter said. He was 77. Skinner died in his sleep at the St. Catherine Laboure Manor in Jacksonville, where he had been living for about a year, his daughter Susie Moore said. Skinner had Alzheimer’s disease. He was working at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville in the late 1960s when he sent a group of students to the principal’s office because their hair was too long. Those students later formed a band, using a variation of Skinner’s name for their own. During an interview in January 2009, Skinner said he was always bothered by the way the legend grew to say he was particularly tough on the band members or that he had kicked them out of school, according to The Florida Times-Union, which first reported Skinner’s death.

Lady Gaga to rally in Maine against ‘don’t ask’ policy PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Lady Gaga wants Maine’s Republican senators to cast votes this week to help repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays. The pop singer is expected to join a Servicemembers Legal Defense Network event near the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus at 4 p.m. Monday. Network spokesman Trevor Thomas says she’ll stand alongside veterans discharged because of the policy, which forbids military recruiters from asking about people’s sexual orientations and prohibits service members from revealing if they’re gay. The organization is trying to pressure Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine to vote to allow a repeal of the policy. Collins previously voted for a provision to repeal. The Senate is scheduled to consider the matter Tuesday.

THE ECONOMY

The recession is over ... so where’s the party?

WASHINGTON (AP) — It turns out the recession ended more than a year ago. Feeling better now? The panel that determines the timing of recessions concluded Monday that this one ended — technically, anyway — in June 2009, and lasted 18 months. The duration makes it the longest since World War II. It may be over, but you won’t be hearing any

cheers from the millions of Americans who are struggling to find a job. Or are worried about the ones they have. Or have lost their homes. Or are behind on the mortgage. “Every single one of the individuals who wrote the report needs a serious reality check,” said Bob Johnson of the Queens borough of New York, who is 46, had worked in communications and has been looking for a job for

more than three years. Not that it’s the fault of the academics — in this case the National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of economists based in Cambridge, Mass. It’s their job to declare when recessions officially begin and end. Their finding is one that economic historians spend a lot of time pondering. Politicians care, too. They don’t want to be blamed for downturns

Avent & Thomas, Inc.

that happen on their watch. One of those politicians is President Barack Obama, who inherited the recession — it began in December 2007, according to the bureau. Obama found little reason Monday to celebrate that it had officially ended. “The hole was so deep that a lot of people out there are still hurting,” the president, whose Democratic Party faces a likely setback in the midterm elections, said at a townhall meeting sponsored by CNBC.

Obama has made a point of noting small signs of progress in the economy, which is growing slowly. Some Democrats have urged him to stop boasting about any progress at all, for fear that it irks people who feel things aren’t getting better and makes politicians seem out of touch. For Melody Brooke, a 55-year-old marriage and family counselor in Lewisville, Texas, it didn’t feel in her household as if the recession ended 15 months ago. Her household finances were in

shambles at the time. “It felt like the heat of it for us,” Brooke said. Her outlook is starting to brighten. Her husband finally found full-time work about a month ago. And Brooke’s counseling business is picking up: She’s on track to make about $35,000 for the year. For the rest of the country, the statistics are familiar and grim. Since the recession began, 7.3 million jobs have disappeared. Nearly 2.5 million homes have been repossessed. Unemployment is at 9.6 percent.

Clausen to start; Moore benched

Mellette among week’s best

CHARLOTTE (AP) — A day before his 23rd birthday, Jimmy Clausen received a job promotion he seemed destined for since before he entered high school: NFL starting quarterback. In a rapid ascension made possible by Matt Moore’s six turnovers and Carolina’s 02 start, Panthers coach John Fox announced on Monday the second-round pick from Clausen Notre Dame will start Sunday’s game against Cincinnati. “I’ve dreamt it for my whole life, to be a starting quarterback in the National Football League,” said Clausen, who went unbeaten in high school and was one of the nation’s top college recruits before playing in the Notre Dame spotlight. “It’s real exciting, but at same time it’s a job. You’ve got to go prepare.” Clausen, whose stunning fall to 48th overall amid concerns about his attitude was one of the top stories of April’s draft, will take over the NFL’s 28th-rated offense as Carolina seeks to avoid a second straight 0-3 start. “We’ve just not been getting it done,” said Fox,

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick is more likely to begin the game at wide receiver than quarterback this week. Eagles coach Andy Reid said Kevin Kolb will be the starting quarterback at Jacksonville on Sunday, despite a pair of impressive performances by Vick. Kolb has been cleared to practice after missing the second half of a season-opening loss to Green Bay and Sunday’s win over Detroit because of a concussion. So he’ll start unless he has a setback this week. Vick still will play in Philadelphia’s version of the wildcat offense. In the first play of the season, he lined up as a receiver. “I think it’s a beautiful situation,” Reid said Monday. “I look at it a lot differently than other people look at it. I’ve got two quarterbacks that can play at a very important position. I’m a happy guy about it.”

Yates: Tar Heels not in panic mode just yet BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates said Monday the Tar Heels are not in panic mode just yet after Saturday’s loss to Georgia Tech dropped his team to 0-2. But the senior admitted that UNC needs to win this weekend’s matchup at Rutgers (3:30 p.m., ESPNU) to get a once promising season back on track. “We definitely got to get in the win column,” said Yates, who led UNC to a win over Rutgers in 2008. “We’ve been playing very well the first two weeks. There’s lot of positives that we can take away from the games, but when you Yates look at the overall, we’re 0-2 right now and we’ve just got to find a way to get a win.” The Tar Heels are hoping to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2003, although they still could be without a dozen players because of the ongoing investigations into agents and academics. UNC coach Butch Davis said there were no new updates on any of the 12 players who missed

Clint Bowyer gets out of his car in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., Sunday.

Bowyer brings a breath of fresh air to the Chase By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE — There’s a swagger and style about Clint Bowyer that should put him high on the list of NASCAR’s most likable drivers. But with just three Sprint Cup wins on his resume, he hasn’t put up the performances needed to capture widespread attention. That could be on the verge of changing. Bowyer’s win Sunday in the opening

round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship was a breath of fresh air to a NASCAR fan base weary of Jimmie Johnson’s four-year reign of dominance. A blue-collar racer who rose through the ranks of Midwest short track racing, Bowyer so far has resisted being molded into a polished corporate pitchman. So as Bowyer celebrated his victory with his Richard Childress Racing crew, vice president of competition Mike Dil-

lon pointed out to the boss just how big the win could be for the entire sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came over to me in the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is the best thing for NASCAR. We need somebody like Clint Bowyer winning races and running for this championship,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; team owner Richard Childress recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came from the short tracks, the dirt tracks. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned his way to where he is today. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very fan friendly. The fans love him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I think NASCAR needs, a new type of hero.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one round into the 10-race Chase, but NASCAR had to have been pleased with Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. The race was full of twists and turns for the championship contenders, who all insisted the championship couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be won at New Hampshire but it most certainly could be lost. A poor finish in the opener could derail the title hopes of an entire team, and a decent day, well, that could hurdle a driver into the heart of the battle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened to Bowyer, who slid into the 12-driver field as the final seed. Then his win jettisoned him up to second in the standings, just 35 points back of leader Denny Hamlin. He had a similar fate in 2007, when he grabbed his first career victory in the Chase opener and rode the momentum to a career-best third-place finish in the standings. Now, in a season of resurgence for an RCR team that struggled to keep pace with NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavyweights last year, Bowyer could make a similar run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really feel like, why not us?â&#x20AC;? Bowyer crew chief Shane Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmie Johnson is good, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won four in a row. The last four or five weeks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been right there with him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that much better than us. We can do it, and why not us?â&#x20AC;? Several teams had the same thoughts as they left New Hampshire stacked in a wide-open field for the championship. Johnson had an uncharacteristically bad day, surviving a spin only to fall victim to a loose wheel. He had to pit under green, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch a caution and finished 25th, lowest among the Chase drivers. Although he dropped to seventh in the standings, all may not be lost for the champion: Since the Chase began in 2004, the champion has finished sixth or better at New Hampshire every year but once, in 2006, when

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, September 21, 2010 / 3B Johnson finished 39th but rallied to win the first of his four titles. He heads to Dover this weekend thinking about another rally, but Tony Stewart may not have the same confidence. Stewart took the lead from Bowyer late in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, but as both drivers tried to stretch their final tank of gas a daunting 92 laps, Stewart failed to conserve enough fuel to make it to the finish. Instead of winning, he finished 24th and dropped to 11th in the standings. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to hope everyone in front of him has at least one slip over the remaining nine races, and after watching some of the comebacks Sunday, it may not happen for Stewart. Take Hamlin, for example. He was running fourth when he was spun by Carl Edwards and fell to 22nd after a quick pit stop for repairs. Livid over the radio, he calmed down enough to slowly work his way back through the field. Had the race gone just one more lap, he likely would have beat Bowyer. Instead, he settled for second and maintained his lead in the standings. Then there was Kevin Harvick, the points leader most of the regular season and Bowyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate at RCR. A poor first pit stop put him in the hole, and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get much better over the next several trips down pit road. Yet he somehow stole a fifth-place finish, and that ability to salvage a bad day has got to have everyone worried.

facing his own uncertainty in the final year of his contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy is a guy we think highly of. I thought he made the most of his opportunities Sunday. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how it goes this week.â&#x20AC;? Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promotion was accelerated by Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismal start to the season, a steep fall from his strong 4-1 finish as a starter last season that helped pave the way for seven-year starter Jake Delhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy with it.

the Georgia Tech game and that defensive tackle Marvin Austin still is not practicing with the team. Defensive tackle Quinton Coples said the team is approaching the Rutgers game as a mustwin situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost two games, but we still have an opportunity to be 10-2 and go to a bowl game and be very successful,â&#x20AC;? Coples said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be undefeated with everybody back, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take whatever we got with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;? Yates said the time to play â&#x20AC;&#x153;what ifâ&#x20AC;? about the missing players is over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two games under our belt, and we kind of know who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing with,â&#x20AC;?

it. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely not what you want to hear as a player,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be behind Jimmy as the weeks go on.â&#x20AC;? Moore threw three end zone interceptions and lost a fumble before leaving with a concussion in a Week 1 loss to the New York Giants. After being cleared to return Sunday, Moore threw an interception and lost another fumble before getting yanked early in the fourth quarter of the 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay. Moore has led Carolina on only two touchdown drives, completed just 41 percent of his passes and has a passer rating of 41.8. It comes

after the Panthers became the first team in at least 14 years to not score an offensive touchdown in the preseason. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like the end of last season, when he threw eight touchdown passes and one interception. The undrafted, fourth-year QB from Oregon State entered this year 6-2 as a starter. When asked whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone wrong, Moore shook his head and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I knew.â&#x20AC;? He rejected the argument his demotion was inevitable when Clausen fell to the Panthers in the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my thoughts were headed in that direction at all,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was confi-

dent, I still am. I know I can play. Unfortunately, the last two showings havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been great. This is the option we have and they went with it.â&#x20AC;? Fox, who stubbornly stuck with Delhomme last season despite his 18 interceptions until he was sidelined with a broken finger, had a quick trigger this time. Moore completed just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers. It included overthrowing rookie David Gettis for what wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a touchdown. Tight end Dante Rosario couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang on to a slightly overthrown ball that likely also wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone for a score.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever happens afterwards, we can deal with it then. But nobody on this team is making excuses.â&#x20AC;? He said there is a little bit of frustration among the seniors who were expecting to have a breakout year, but the Tar Heels still believe they can have a successful season. UNC lost both games 30-24 and had chances to win at the end of each before falling short. Yates and Coples each said they felt like their respective units played a little better in the second game and they expect the trend to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows that we are 0-2, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing very well and just thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of unforced errors in each game that kind of prevented us from getting the

win and kind of getting over that hump,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. Davis said his veterans have done a good job of helping out the more inexperienced players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; complimenting plays and correcting mistakes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there has been no finger pointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The senior kids that are playing and the older guys, I think that this is when their leadership is going to be every bit as important,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be a frontrunner and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be in the lead and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You find out an awful lot about a lot of people when things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go well.â&#x20AC;? And even though the 2010 season has not gotten off to the start many

had envisioned, Yates said the Tar Heels do not hold any personal grudges against the players who are embroiled in the investigations. He said the Heels shot themselves in the foot against Georgia Tech with two fumbles in the second half, but those miscues can be corrected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is only one conference game for us, so we know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the world,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do to get back on track, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep working hard. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to stop, no matter what.â&#x20AC;? NOTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The kickoff time for the Oct. 2 matchup between UNC and East Carolina in Chapel Hill has been set for 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3.com).

Features Dear Abby

BRIDGE HAND

Next generation may give new life to heirloom baby set DEAR ABBY: My mother passed away two years ago, and her first great-grandchild will be born in less than two months. I had hoped when I was still in my 30s to have a child of my own, so I had Mom crochet me a baby set — sweater, booties, cap and blanket. Sadly, motherhood for me was not to be. Do you think this baby set should go to the firstborn greatgrandchild, or to Mom’s favorite grandchild’s children? The color is gender-neutral. Should I perhaps “loan” it to each of the greatgrandchildren when they arrive to ensure that it will be maintained as a family heirloom? I paid for all the materials and Mom’s time in creating these items. I feel it would be selfish not to share them. — SOON-TO-BE-GREAT-AUNT

DEAR SOON-TO-BE-GREATAUNT: If you wish to establish that the baby set will become a family heirloom, stipulate that it is your intention that it be shared among the family members as more children come along. I do not recommend playing favorites with it, because to do so could create resentment. However, it is important that you understand that once the baby set is given, it will be out of your control. There are no guarantees that it won’t be damaged or hoarded. So unless you are ready to let go of it emotionally, don’t give it away. o DEAR ABBY: I am writing about

a random act of kindness. Last night my husband and I went out to dinner with our two small children. He’s in the Army and wore his uniform because he had gotten off late and he didn’t want to keep the kids from eating while he changed. While we waited for our meal to be served, our waiter came to us and said it was our “lucky night.” The couple seated next to us was paying for the entire meal. Things like this have happened to my husband before — with small lunches or drinks — but never something as large as dinner for four. The gesture was touching and thoughtful, and made more special by the fact that it was the woman’s birthday. That she thought of someone else on “her” day made me smile. We only got the gentleman’s name — it was Russell, like our son’s — but not hers. We want to express our gratitude to her. And we hope her birthday was as

DEAR TOUCHED: I’m sure it was. Happy people like to spread the joy around. And thank you for reminding me and my readers how much an expression of gratitude to our members of the military can mean to those who receive one. o DEAR ABBY: I have a beautiful 2-month-old daughter, and I like to dress her in little pants and shirts rather than dresses. Often these clothes are in gender-neutral colors — yellow, green and, yes, sometimes blue. Whenever she’s wearing something other than pink, people assume she’s a boy and say things like, “Oh, what a handsome little guy,” or, “Hi, big boy!” How would you suggest I respond to these people? Should I ignore them and go on with my errands or correct them? I hope that by reading this people will think before they assume a baby’s gender based on the color of his/her clothing. — ANNOYED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ANNOYED: They may or may not. The next time it happens, smile at the person and say, “It’s a girl!”

Odds and Ends Ill. woman charged in dog poopinfused meltdown NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Dog owners, beware: If you live in suburban Chicago and don’t pick up after your pet, you might get tossed an unpleasant reminder. Police in Naperville say a woman who stepped in dog feces outside her apartment appears to have retaliated by heaving it at the door of her neighbor who owns a dog. Susan Miller was charged with disorderly conduct after her bizarre protest Wednesday. The Naperville Sun reports that police say Miller also uprooted a sign telling residents to pick up dog waste and placed it on the neighbor’s patio. Miller was arrested after the neighbor called police. An unapologetic Miller says if she can pick up the poop from her 80-pound dog, her neighbor can pick up after a 20pound dog. Naperville is about 30 miles west of Chicago.

Mass. woman bags 1,025-pound alligator in SC lake COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman has a remarkable souvenir from South Carolina. Maryellen Mara-Christian bagged a 13 1/2-foot ,1,025-pound alligator in Lake Moultrie. Mara-Christian said Friday that she is an experienced hunter, but this was her first gator.

SUDOKU

My Answer The 48-year-old former bank marketing officer from Fitchburg, Mass., was hunting Wednesday with her husband, who is a firefighter and a part-time hunting guide. It took about two hours to secure the gator before they could shoot it. The .22-caliber gun they used wasn’t powerful enough to put the animal down, so Mara-Christian used a knife to sever the alligator’s spinal cord. Meat processor Steve Drummond said the gator had so much fat that only about 40 pounds was usable meat. He will stuff the animal for Mara-Christian to display.

Jimmy the painting chimp draws hordes to Rio zoo RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A retired circus chimpanzee is the Cezanne of simians, drawing crowds to a Brazilian zoo to watch him paint. The 26-year-old chimp called Jimmy has been producing surprisingly lovely paintings each day for three weeks at the Niteroi Zoo. Trainer Roched Seba said Monday Jimmy doesn’t like the toys and other diversions that other chimps enjoy. So three weeks ago, Seba introduced him to painting after reading about animals in zoos elsewhere that enjoyed a little canvas time. Temperamental as great artists can be, Jimmy at times declines to paint if his cage is surrounded by too many gawkers. But for at least 30 minutes a day, he carefully dips his brush into plastic paint containers and uses broad, bold strokes to create his art.

Tragedy can help us see need for God Q: My friend says God uses tragedy to bring us closer to Himself, but how can that be? I’ve always thought God loved us, so why would He use something terrible to make us love Him? -- K.R. A: Yes, God may use tragedies or heartaches to bring us closer to Himself. I’ve experienced this in my own life, and I’ve observed it in the lives of others also. Does this mean God is being cruel when He does this? No, not at all; in fact, the opposite is the case. The problem, you see, is with us, not with God. Our hearts easily become cold and indifferent to God, and we refuse to listen to Him when He’s trying to get our attention. We can even become so hardened toward God that we can’t hear His voice. When this happens, the only way He can get our attention may be to allow something to happen to us that will shatter our indifference or rebellion. Only then will we face our need for Christ, and turn in faith and trust to Him. Just as we discipline our children so they’ll do what is right, so God sometimes disciplines us so we’ll turn to Him and follow Him. The Bible says, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11). Not every difficulty in life comes to us for this reason. But when hard times come (as they will), we need to ask what God may be trying to teach us through them.
