SATELLITE PIRATING SUIT FROM ‘03 AGAINST HOUSE CANDIDATE SURFACES

Charges in historic district break-ins

Court documents: Sanford mayor pro tem was ordered to pay DirecTV $10K By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — City Councilman and N.C. House of Representatives candidate Mike Stone was entangled in a 2003 illegal pirating suit brought by satellite television giant DirecTV, recently surfaced court documents indicate. According to a 2003 DirecTV complaint filed in U.S. District

Court, Stone was one of a handful of defendants named in a lawsuit alleging the “possession and use of Stone illegal devices and equipment designed to intercept and decrypt DirecTV’s protected satellite communications, ultimately

allowing for the free viewing of television programming.” The complaint accused Stone of using interstate or foreign wire facilities to order and receive pirating devices in December 2000, including a machine that assisted in “permitting the illegal programming of valid DirecTV access devices.” It also suggested Stone and the other defendants “distributed ... the devices purchased and ... profited from their

enterprise.” Records show that a 2006 court judgment ordered Stone to pay the satellite network $10,000 in damages, in addition to another $780 in fees for costs and attorney bills stemming from the case after he failed to respond to court allegations within the allotted time. According to Stone, owner of

Sanford PD targets neighborhood after complaints about rash of thefts By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Sanford police say they have arrested a handful of locals suspected of orchestrating a rash of break-ins in the Rosemount-McIver historic district in recent weeks. Investigators said George Ernest Owens Jr., 25, of 211 Temple Ave., is being charged with robbing homes on Steele Street and Bracken Street last month. Two more locals — Timothy Owens Santegus McKendall, 29, of 136 E. Chisholm St., Apartment 2; and a 16-yearold Broadway teen — were also McKendall arrested for possessing electronic equipment and video gaming devices believed to have been stolen. The arrests came days after a Herald article about a neighborhood watch meeting formed because of a recent rash of breakins. According to resident Kathy Caroll, drug dealers, prostitutes and transients have long been apparent in the neighborhood, but the recent home robberies became too much. “It just seems really

Today is Sunday, Sept. 12, the 255th day of 2010. There are 110 days left in the year. This day in history: On Sept. 12, 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy addressed questions about his Roman Catholic faith, telling a Southern Baptist group in Houston, “I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.” In 1910, Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, popularly known as the “Symphony of a Thousand,” had its premiere in Munich, Germany, with Mahler conducting. In 1938, Adolf Hitler demanded the right of self-determination for the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. In 1943, German paratroopers took Benito Mussolini from the hotel where he was being held by the Italian government. In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Newport, R.I. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched its Luna 2 space probe, which made a crash landing on the moon. The TV Western series “Bonanza” premiered on NBC. In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the first married couple in space.

HARNETT COUNTY

County sued over land foreclosure

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Harnett County business has filed a lawsuit against Cumberland County, alleging the county was negligent and that it took part in unfair and deceptive trade practices. Martin Edwards and Associates Inc., a business that provides security services, filed the lawsuit Thursday. The complaint centers on the handling of a foreclosure late last year. Martin Edwards, through its president, Rickie Day, had an interest in the foreclosed property and tried to prevent the proceedings, but alleges that the county provided incorrect information. The lawsuit alleges negligence, the wrongful

conversion of personal property, unjust enrichment and unfair and deceptive trade practices. It seeks the return of more than $35,000 paid to stop the foreclosure, plus interest, attorney fees and court costs. According to the complaint, Day and another man, John R. Mann, held a lien on the property, 23 acres located at 9580 Big Bay Road, in the amount of $200,000. The county began foreclosure proceedings on the property in September 2009, according to court documents, because the owner, Tarheel Specialties Inc., owed taxes from 2008 and 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fayetteville Observer

NEW HILL

Sewage plant put on notice CARY (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Southern Coalition for Social Justice filed a petition Thursday that challenges the placement of a regional wastewater treatment plant in New Hill, an unincorporated community in western Wake County. The petition, filed at the state Office of Administrative Hearings on behalf the New Hill Community Association, charges that the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources issued a water quality certificate to the Western Wake Partners that was based on insufficient information about potential environmental impacts. The Western Wake Partners is a consortium of four western Wake towns: Cary, Apex, Morrisville and Holly Springs. The consortium is planning the $327 million plant. It would meet a state mandate that requires three of the towns to return treated wastewater to the Cape Fear River Basin and would help all of them deal with growth for the next 20 years. The Southern Coalition is asking for a hearing to contest state certification of the plant in an effort to block construction. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh News & Observer

Undercover drug bust nets 2 arrests By Beth Velliquette The Durham Herald-Sun

PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chatham County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office announced Friday that it arrested two Chatham County men on drug charges after an undercover drug operation. The Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office charged Gordon Joseph Keil, 42, and Jonathan Dirck Martin, 48, both of 136 Fallen Oak Lane, Chapel Hill. Although the men have a Chapel Hill address, their home is located southwest of Chapel Hill in Chatham County. Both the Chapel Hill Police Department and the Chatham County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office had received reports about illegal activity being conducted at the residence, with Keil being the main target of the investigation, according to the Chatham

County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narcotics unit and Special Incident Response Team, with the assistance of the Chapel Hill Police Department, executed the search warrant. When law enforcement officers went into the home, they found and seized $5,068 in cash, 118.9 grams of cocaine, 51 grams of marijuana, 4.4 grams of hashish, 103 units of Alprazolam, 15 units of Diazepam, three units of Oxycodone and two marijuana plants. The street value of the drugs was estimated at $18,000. The officers also seized an H&K handgun. The Chatham County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office charged Keil with the felonies of trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, possession

of cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of Schedule IV controlled substances, possession with intent to sell and deliver Schedule IV controlled substances, maintaining a dwelling for the purposes of keeping/storing controlled substances, and the misdemeanors of possession of Schedule IV controlled substances and possession of Schedule II controlled substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Keil was jailed in lieu of $500,000 secured bond, and he is scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro on Sept. 27. The deputies charged Martin with felony possession of cocaine, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and felony

maintaining a dwelling to keep/store controlled substances. He was being held in lieu of $5,000 secured bond and is also scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro on Sept. 27. Both men have criminal records involving drugs, according to the N.C. Department of Correction. Keil was convicted of several drug offenses in Orange County in 2009 and was given a suspended sentence. Martin was convicted of various drug offenses in Orange, Chatham and Durham counties, and served seven months and eight days in 2006 for some of those offenses; served five months in 1999 and 2000 for several drug convictions in Durham, and served two years and three months from 1985 to 1987 for trafficking cocaine in

4A / Sunday, September 12, 2010 / The Sanford Herald GARNER EMS CHIEF INVESTIGATION

OBITUARIES

Garner mayor questions hiring of former SPD capt.

GARNER — A top Garner official expressed frustration this week that a disgraced former Sanford police officer wasn’t given a more “thorough” background check before he was hired to lead the town’s embattled emergency medical services and rescue team. Garner Mayor Ronnie Williams said town officials shouldn’t have learned this late of past events surrounding Bill Frederick, a former Sanford police captain who left 14 years ago in a storm of allegations that he traded police leniency for sexual favors. Frederick was the chief at Garner EMS & Rescue having worked in the agency for 12

years, but he stepped down Tuesday in the wake of an ongoing sexual assault probe on an unidentified rescue employee. “It makes me think that somebody did not do their job,” Williams said Thursday, two days after Frederick submitted his resignation. It is not known yet whether Frederick’s resignation is linked to reports of a Sept. 1 sexual assault by a Garner EMS employee. Garner police began investigating the case last week after a woman reported she was assaulted in Garner EMS’ former town offices. Garner Police Department Lt. Chris Hagwood

WELCOME

said he doesn’t expect charges to be pressed this week in the assault case, although he confirmed the top suspect is an EMS worker. Williams said he was notified that Frederick cited a “personal matter” for his leaving, with some Garner EMS heads crediting him for his leadership. No other Garner EMS employees have reportedly been fired or resigned following the investigation. “In the eyes of the public, they’re putting together the fact that his resignation had something to do with the assault,” Williams said. “But I’ll say ‘innocent until proven guilty.’” Williams said town officials in the future will look to require background checks on non-

profit heads if agencies like Garner EMS accept government funding. Ralph Smith, chairman of the Garner EMS board of directors, could not be reached Thursday to comment on the extent and nature of any possible background checks imposed on Frederick or any other employees of the Wake County nonprofit. The agency has been troubled of late by pressing financial issues that led to Wake County medics taking over the EMS portion of the group’s job, although the Garner agency retained its rescue response team. Frederick was chief of that rescue response team until he submitted his resignation Tuesday, several days after the sexual assault investigation started.

“I usually don’t like surprises unless it’s my birthday or Christmas,” Williams said. “I was very surprised in this situation involving Mr. Frederick.” According to Williams, Frederick began working for the rescue team two years after his resignation as a captain in the Sanford Police Department. Frederick stepped down in Sanford in summer 1996 following reports of sexual improprieties. He was eventually convicted by state investigators of obstructing justice and was sentenced to probation. Sanford Police Chief Ronnie Yarborough, who headed the department at the time of Frederick’s resignation, declined to comment on the Garner case.

Stone Continued from Page 1A

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery Store in the Jonesboro area, the suit ended when he convinced DirecTV he was not the culprit in the pirating case, although court records and DirecTV attorneys could not confirm his account this week. The company notified Lee County court officials in July 2007 that Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt to the company was â&#x20AC;&#x153;satisfied, paid in full.â&#x20AC;? Lee Clerk of Court Susie Thomas said the records do not specify whether Stone ultimately had to pay out the hefty penalty or whether he came to an agreement with DirecTV regarding the alleged violations. Stone, a Sanford resident and GOP candidate set to challenge N.C. Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. in the 51st House district this fall, denied any wrongdoing in the DirecTV case Tuesday, claiming he does not recall paying the network in the civil suit despite the documents that state the debt was satisfied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t owe anybody,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that he was not aware of the DirecTV court action until they came to him several years ago seeking payment for the alleged violations. In the 2003 court filing, DirecTV attorneys argued that credit card records and receipts seized from pirating distributors traced the illegal purchase back to Stone and his Sanford

address. Stone, who is expected to offer a stiff challenge for Love at the polls, said the issue centered around an Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s custormer who utilized a store service to have a package shipped to him by way of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The service allowed Stone to act as a go-between for the customer and the sender, he said. The customer would pick up the item at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, pay Stone for the transaction and Stone would forward the money to the sender, Stone said. He said he could not recall the nature of the package or the name of the customer, only that DirecTV ended its action against him after he convinced attorneys he was not responsible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get sued when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can either pay for it or fight it. I fought it.â&#x20AC;? Stone said he has since halted the practice of allowing customers to use Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a shipping destination because it opened his business up to potential suits like the one lobbed by DirecTV. A DirecTV spokesman said company lawyers were researching the case last week to determine whether an accord was struck with Stone that saved him the court bill, although no details were immediately available. Stone maintained that the company dropped its allegations after meeting with him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to go back and show them it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our

problem,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lee County GOP Chairman Linda Shook said party officials were aware of Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past when he began his campaign for the N.C. House, but did not view it as a significant issue as they were told no money exchanged hands between Stone and DirecTV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no such thing as a perfect candidate,â&#x20AC;? Shook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that was the case, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be nobody that would ever run for office.â&#x20AC;? Shook said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the DirecTV suit will pose a problem for Stone at the polls this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running hard on the issues,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issues are what matters to the taxpayers and I think at the polls thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to care about, not some old news.â&#x20AC;? Lee County Democrat Chairman Ty Stumpf said the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old newsâ&#x20AC;? that has come to light points to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pattern of violating the lawâ&#x20AC;? for Stone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had ABC violations at his store, code violations of rental properties and recent violations of the UDO having put up his signs too early even though he signed a document at the Board of Elections stating he understood the laws involved,â&#x20AC;? Stumpf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is convenient that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall who was involved and when these things happen.â&#x20AC;? â?? Herald Editor Billy Liggett contributed to this story.

Break-ins Continued from Page 1A

close to home now,â&#x20AC;? she told The Herald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attacking us one after another.â&#x20AC;? Of those arrested, Owens is charged with second-degree burglary, felony breaking and entering, two counts of felony larceny and possession of stolen goods. He is accused of making off with electronic equipment and clothing from two homes on North Steele Street and Bracken Street. McKendall is charged with felony possession of stolen goods in the case after he was found with video games and a game controller taken from a Weatherspoon Street residence. The 16-year-old Broadway resident is also charged with felony possession of stolen goods. Residents in the Sanford community said the break-ins this summer left some fearing for their safety in recent months. No one was hurt in the robberies, although some locals believed

they were being targeted. Police could not confirm the exact number of break-ins, although a resident estimated about 12 separate incidents since early August. The neighborhood launched a community watch group in recent weeks to monitor the nighttime activity. Sanford Police Chief Ronnie Yarborough said some of the accused robbers have lengthy criminal records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something must be done about these repeat

offenders,â&#x20AC;? Yarborough said. Owens was held in Lee County Jail under a $50,000 secured bond. His criminal history includes convictions for felony breaking and entering, drug possession and assault. McKendall, who was held under a $5,000 secured bond, also has an extensive criminal history, with convictions in Lee County for assault on a female, felony breaking and entering, larceny, fraud and drug possession.

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP: Sanford Lions Club The 73rd edition of the Lee Regional Fair kicks off Tuesday. We couldn’t help but get that gloating feeling this past week when we drove past the Moore County Agricultural Fair. It’s a nice set-up, but anyone who’s watched the amazing growth and transformation of the Lee County fair knows that as good as it was, Lions Club members are continually working to make it even better. Rides, entertainment,

attractions, food – they all seem to improve yearly. It’s an incredible accomplishment and worth checking out, especially “new” events such as trapeze artists, the Carolina Dock Dogs and fresh entertainment.

THUMBS UP: Central Carolina Jaycees The custodianship of Sanford’s annual Christmas parade has changed hands over the years, but this year’s event is being managed for the first time by

the Central Carolina Jaycees. It’s scheduled for 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. This Sanford tradition dates back decades and is always a crowdpleaser, so the Jaycees have a tall task this year. For more information, consult the organization’s website at www.centralcarolinajaycees.org.

THUMBS UP: Lee County Tax Department Technology can be a servant or a slave. In the case of the Lee County Tax Department, though, new technologies — mostly found on the county’s website — are definitely of a servant nature. Lee County government’s everevolving website includes a bevy of new features for business and individuals done, according to Tax Administrator Dwane Brinson, “to streamline our services and pro-

vide a one-stop-shop website.” Included is a “live chat” module which allows taxpayers to get immediate access to a representative within the county office building at the click of a mouse. Brinson said the county’s “outside the box” approach was extending beyond the tax office into other departments and even included the use of social media. It’s common for governmental agencies’ websites to provide a wide array of useful information, but incorporating and combining ease of use and service are a plus.

RE: RASH OF BREAK-INS REPORTED IN HISTORIC DISTRICT This report raises an interesting question: Is crime really on the decline in Sanford and Lee County? All the latest statistical reports coming from SPD and the Sheriff’s Office show us having reduced violent and non-violent crime by large measures. These reports have been the source of much back-slapping among our elected leaders. I was talking to some neighbors along Carbonton Road and they relayed stories similar to the ones in this article. Throughout this past year there seems to have been a spate of break-ins all over the county. The criminals are bold, often breaking into homes while people are present in the home. Now that’s disturbing. So, the question remains, are we really doing better in combatting crime or are the statistics telling only a part of the true story? — We_the_People

RE: LEE COUNTY SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATORS GET RAISES This should go over real well with the taxpayers. Meanwhile, many in the private sector who are subsidizing these school salaries have taken pay cuts and reduced hours to keep their jobs. I hope the Board of Commissioners take note when they are funding the school budget request next year. When is the last time the county employees received a pay raise because of the good job they are doing and the years of good service they have provided? Heads need to roll over this one. Did the Board of Education approve this? — CitizenZane

RE: LETTER WRITER WON’T VOTE ACROSS PARTY LINES There are many people who don’t understand the power behind the committees. For example, most would probably agree that a voter should present a valid photo ID at time of voting. Most would probably agree that voter registration forms should be printed in English only. This legislation has been proposed by Republicans in different sessions. As long as the Dems are in power, this will never make it out of committee. — ProudConservativeRepublican

Letters to the Editor Is this kind of competition good for our schools? To the Editor:

The article in last Sunday’s Herald about the Head of the Class Initiative left me with mixed emotions. As stated, this is “an incentive-based program that will award $50,000 annually to the faculty and staff at the county’s best-performing elementary school.” The article didn’t say how the money would be used. Will it be divided up among the faculty and staff? Will it be used for educational resources to make the “best performing school” even better? However it will be used, what message does this send to the other schools? Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know that our elementary schools were in a competition. If so, it is unlike any other competition I ever heard of. In golf, the winner gets most but not all of the money. In NACAR, the winner gets most but not all of the money and points. In boxing, the winner gets most, but not all of the purse. In the case of this Initiative, the “best” school gets it all, while the other schools are left to play catch up with less. I guess the name of this game is, “The Best Get Better and The Rest Get Nothing.” J. FRED WATSON Sanford

Sometimes, we should just shut up for the greater good To the Editor:

Crossing the line

or more than a year, The Herald has dealt (sporting a half-grin the whole time, of course) with the ridiculous conspiracy theories and vendetta-driven rants of a local blogger who seems to not only have it in for half of the political force in Lee County, but also this newspaper. The former Herald columnist has accused this newspaper of everything from political one-sidedness to cover-ups ... even fabricating news. A former official with the Lee County Republican Party, this blogger has dedicated his website to taking down current candidates and sitting officials all while pretending his site is dedicated to fixing the county’s unemployment woes. And that’s fine. For every daily newspaper in this country, there’s at least one Keith Clark — a conspiracy theorist who calls himself a “journalist” because he was able to create a Blogspot account. And we’ve taken his ramblings with a grain of salt. But this week, Mr. Clark crossed the line of poor taste and in doing so, potentially threatened the career advancement of one of our young reporters. Clark was present this week for a meeting of the Lee County Board of Education’s ad-hoc committee meeting assigned the task of improving the district’s communication efforts, as was Herald Publisher Bill Horner (who was asked to join the committee), and a Herald reporter assigned to cover the meeting. During the course of the two-plus hour meeting, Clark took photos of the attendees as they spoke. Of the dozens of photos snapped, he posted two on his blog the following day — one of them a shot suggesting the reporter was asleep. The photo included the words, “It was a tedious meeting, and even with her boss’s boss looking on, a highly regarded Herald reporter momentarily lost interest.” That photo showed our 22-year-old female reporter sitting at a table with both eyes shut. It could have been a blink, or she could have been snoring away (she vehemently denies the latter, pointing out that she’s holding up a pen in her right hand in the photo ... something few of us do while we’re sleeping). On his blog, Clark included the reporter’s name. The following day, we told him to take it off, which he did. However, the photo remains (we want that taken down as well), and searches of that reporter’s name still lead to that site on Google. Way to go, Keith ... go after a recent college grad. His actions not only crossed the line of poor taste, but he dragged an innocent young journalist with a bright future into his perverted quest to take people down. I haven’t even mentioned his attacks on

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com Horner and suggestions that he’s a part of this committee so he can secretly take down the school board. But these are open-to-the-public events (for journalists and bloggers), and if Clark wants to take photos in meetings, he can take photos in meetings. If he wants to post those photos on his blog, he can post those photos on his blog. And in turn, I can write about the sorriness of it all. Inexplicably, Clark has his backers in our local government — from Lee County Schools to county government to local law enforcement — who fall short of admitting association with him but are among the men and women he typically writes glowingly about. If you’re his friend, you’re safe. If you’re his enemy, prepare for the dirt digging. And if you’re an innocent bystander ... well, looks like you’re involved, too. Those who side with Clark — or in the very least, defend his self-given title of political watchdog — are free to do as they choose, and I’m not condemning their decision. I’m only pointing out that in choosing to defend him, you’re defending these actions as well. I’ve written in the past that I enjoy the game that is Lee County politics, and I’m glad there are bloggers and letter writers and others in our community who not only challenge the political elite in Lee County, but are quick to challenge The Herald’s decisions as well. Think of it as a nice checks and balances system. But Clark’s gone too far in this case. And if he continues to point cameras at my reporters and then use those photos against them — and if the government agencies that treat him as media condone it — then The Herald will politely stop attending these meetings. It’s not a threat. It’s just a fact. Besides, there are regional fairs, football games and school functions we’d much rather be sitting through. And maybe those will be exciting enough that we won’t be falling asleep.

I would like to weigh in on the controversial — or would that be commercial — preacher from Florida who planned on burning the Quran. It leaves me to question — was this another constitutional display of our freedom of expression or an outright freedom of emotional ignorance? The power of life and death lies in our tongues according to Proverbs 18:21, and sometimes, we have to keep our mouths shut for the greater good of all people ... especially our service members presently serving in active war zones. As a Christian, American and ex-war veteran, I’m still angered to witness the United States flag being burned, and I couldn’t imagine somebody publicly burning our Bible. I suggest that we pray and ask not only what would Jesus do, but what would God think? I believe that Jesus would focus on being a 2010 peacemaker and not a modern day peace breaker or self-appointed minister of stirred-up hatred. If you look around, this is still our great country that we call the United States of America. Yes, I did say “united,” or should that honestly be the “divided” states of America? WILLIAM K. JOHNSON Sanford

Herald’s article on 211 a valuable service to readers To the Editor:

The article appearing in The Herald on September 9, 2010, by Alexa Milan on the services provided to our citizens via their dialing 211 is a true example of how your paper provides vital services to your readers. I, for one, was not aware of this 211 service. As we navigate this year’s hurricane season, I did wonder how to find timely, local information on when and where I should go if evacuation became a reality. Now I know; dial 211 and follow their directions. Milan’s article was not only helpful, it was also well written. JUDITH ACKERMAN Sanford

Companies that abuse animals should shut down To the Editor: Imagine being a dog at a testing laboratory. Unpleasant thought? Imagine being that dog when a worker screams obscenities and death wishes at you. That’s what PETA’s undercover investigator found at PLRS, a North Carolina contract testing laboratory that has been hired by giant pharmaceutical companies, including Bayer, Pfizer and Eli Lilly, to test flea and tick products. Workers dragged and threw dogs around, picked up puppies by their necks and rabbits by their ears, slammed cats into cages and sprayed dogs with a corrosive bleach solution (see footage at www.PETA.org). Anyone who abuses animals doesn’t deserve to remain employed. A facility that can’t provide even minimal care for animals doesn’t deserve to stay in business.

Book burning an awful idea

ere’s a really bad idea: Burn the Koran to send a message. Exactly what message is being sent is a matter of some debate. The 50-member “Dove World Outreach Center” and its pastor, Terry Jones, claim that “it’s maybe the right time for America to stand up. How long are we going to bow down? How long are we going to be controlled by the terrorists, by radical Islam?” Gen. David Petraeus, who is responsible for the lives of American men and women serving in Afghanistan, sees it rather differently: “Images of the burning of a Koran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence. ... Even the rumor that it might take place has sparked demonstrations... Were the actual burning to take place, the safety of our soldiers and civilians would be put in jeopardy and accomplishment of the mission would be made more difficult.” The issue here isn’t who is right. Petraeus is right. The ‘Burning a Koran goes beyond lawful issue is what to do about protest. It is, with Jones and tens of thousands his congregants of Americans in and their harm’s way, the modern equivalent unnamed supporters. of crying fire in a “We crowded theater. will not be And it should be responsible,” Jones stopped.’ has said in reaction to the concern that his acts could cause Americans to die. “We are only reacting to the violence that is already there in that religion.” The First Amendment protects the right of every American to practice their religion freely, whether Jones approves of it or not. The same First Amendment, of course, protects Jones’ right to protest the beliefs of that religion, however offensive those protests are to any sensible person. But the protection of the First Amendment is not absolute. As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously put it, no one has a right to scream “fire” in a crowded theater (unless there is one). Whether spoken or symbolic, speech that presents a clear and present danger of causing violence, or is likely to cause imminent violence, has long been subject to regulation. On occasion, such regulation has gone too far. The more afraid we are — whether of Communism in the 50s or terrorism in the past decade — the stronger the impulse to see imminent threats. In these times, it is important to remember that terrorism is our enemy, not Muslims; that if we make Islam the enemy instead of extremism, if we turn law-abiding Muslims against us by attacking their religion instead of attacking terrorists, we will be fighting a war we can only lose. It is important, in short, to reaffirm that the Constitution does indeed protect the rights of Muslims to practice their religion, which is far more vulnerable right now than the right of Terry Jones to try to stop them. Jones is entitled to his views. He is entitled to express them peaceably. He is entitled to hold demonstrations and make speeches, even if what he says strikes me, and many others, as shortsighted and wrong. But he does not have the right to endanger American lives. He may not want to accept responsibility for the consequences of his acts, but the rest of us are entitled to impose it on him. Not one American life should be lost because of the irresponsible action of Terry Jones. If attention is what he is after — and I don’t doubt it is — he’s got it. Everyone around the world has heard of him and his 50 members. We know what they think. He’s sent his message loud and clear. But there are limits. Burning a Koran goes beyond lawful protest. It is, with tens of thousands of Americans in harm’s way, the modern equivalent of crying fire in a crowded theater. And it should be stopped.

Racial malevolence T

he white liberal’s agenda, coupled with that of black race hustlers, has had and continues to have a devastating impact on ordinary black people. Perhaps the most debilitating aspect of this liberal malevolence is in the area of education. Recently, I spoke with a Midwestern university engineering professor who was trying to help an inner-city black student who was admitted to the university’s electrical engineering program. The student was sure that he was well prepared for an engineering curriculum; his high school had convinced him of that and the university recruiters supported that notion. His poor performance on the university’s math placement exam required that he take remedial math courses. He’s failed them and is now on academic probation after two semesters of earning less than a 2.0 grade point average. The young man and his parents were sure of his preparedness. After all, he had good high school grades, but those grades only meant that he was well behaved. The college recruiters probably knew this youngster didn’t have the academic preparation for an electrical engineering curriculum. They were more concerned with racial diversity. This young man’s background is far from unique. Public schools give most black students fraudulent diplomas that certify a 12th-grade achievement level. According to a report by Abigail Thernstrom, “The Racial Gap in Academic Achievement,” black students in 12th grade dealt with scientific problems at the level of whites in the sixth grade; they wrote about as well as whites in the eighth grade. The average black high school senior had math skills on a par with a typical white student in the middle of ninth grade. The average 17-year-old black student could only read as well as the typical white child who had not yet reached age 13. Black youngsters who take the SAT exam earn an average score that’s 70 to 80 percent of the score of white students, and keep in mind, the achievement level of white students is nothing to write home about. Under misguided diversity pressures, colleges recruit many black students who are academically ill equipped. Very often, these

Walter Williams

Syndicated Columnist Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

students become quickly disillusioned, embarrassed and flunk out, or they’re steered into curricula that have little or no academic content, or professors practice affirmative-action grading. In any case, the 12 years of poor academic preparation is not repaired in four or five years of college. This is seen by the huge performance gap between blacks and whites on exams for graduate school admittance such as the GRE, MCAT and LSAT. Is poor academic performance among blacks something immutable or pre-ordained? There is no evidence for such a claim. Let’s sample some evidence from earlier periods. In “Assumptions Versus History in Ethnic Education,” in Teachers College Record (1981), Dr. Thomas Sowell reports on academic achievement in some of New York city’s public schools. He compares test scores for sixth graders in Harlem schools with those in the predominantly white Lower East Side for April 1941 and December 1941. In paragraph and word meaning, Harlem students, compared to Lower East Side students, scored equally or higher. In 1947 and 1951, Harlem third-graders in paragraph and word meaning, and arithmetic reasoning and computation scored about the same as — and in some cases, slightly higher, and in others, slightly lower than — their white Lower East Side counterparts. ... Let’s return to the tale of the youngster at the Midwestern college. Recruiting this youngster to be a failure is cruel, psychologically damaging and an embarrassment for his family. But the campus hustlers might come to the aid of the student by convincing him that his academic failure is a result of white racism and Eurocentric values.

ow worried are Democrats? V-E-R-Y. Let’s take it from the top. President Obama spent Labor Day reminding Americans that he’s the cool one, the “Yes we can” one, the rolled-up sleeves one. He never named Ohio Republican Rep. John Boehner explicitly, but he clearly was aiming for the man who, if things go as they seem to be going, will be the next speaker of the House. Speaking to Laborfest in Milwaukee, Obama referred to “the Republican who thinks he’s going to take over as speaker ... I’m just saying, that’s his opinion.” His shirt sleeves rolled up as workingman politicos always do, Obama all but said: “Pay no attention to the man with the fake tan.” And, he said: “Somebody out here was yelling, ‘Yes we can.’ Remember that was our slogan?” (Yes, we remember.) “Their slogan is ‘No we can’t!’ Nope! No! No! No!” Except, oh dear, yes they can. And no is a pretty sound position when the nation is careening off a cliff. Obama’s Midwestern jobs push carries a hint of the little boy doing cartwheels to get attention. He has a playlist of favorite songs and he keeps hitting replay in hopes of resurrecting the old magic. It’s not working. Next up: Cleveland, for an economic speech to counter the one Boehner gave last month in which he called on the president to fire his economic team. Even many Democrats share the view that Tim Geithner and Larry Summers should be enjoying a beach somewhere, but Obama apparently prefers to double down. By singling out Boehner, even going to the minority leader’s own state, suggests either churlish theater or desperation. The national mood would imply the latter. As a theatergoer, however, one could hardly ask for better. The Obama emblem of hope and change versus Boehner, the symbol of “no.” ... No one is enjoying Obama’s attempt to demonize Boehner more than Boehner. Even this is a replay. The White House seems to relish playing target practice with an enemy du jour and, in the process, elevating its prey. When the administration singled out Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party, no one was more delighted than Limbaugh. Boehner must be whistling a happy tune. Even though his critics say he’s prematurely measuring for new drapes in the speaker’s quarters, Boehner is hardly a household name beyond Washington and political parlors where the chattering class feasts on the latest polls. He’s not a lightning rod like Newt Gingrich or Tom DeLay. Effective immediately, Boehner is the un-Obama, and that is not a bad thing for Republicans. If the president were confident in his programs, some of which Republicans also support (research and development tax credits, for example), he wouldn’t need to challenge Boehner on his own turf. Successful leaders ignore the hecklers and noisemakers. But Obama doesn’t even have the support of his own cast these days. Democratic incumbents are running against their own health care law, de-emphasizing or failing to mention their vote. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon has sought waivers for certain Obamacare rules, even though he voted for them. California’s Jerry Brown sounds like anti-big-government Ronald Reagan in one of his recent ads for governor. Meanwhile, Obama’s approval rating is the lowest ever, with 52 percent of Americans disapproving, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. More people say that Obama’s economic plan is making the economy worse (33 percent) than better (30 percent), with 36 percent saying it is having “no real effect.” The “Recovery Summer” didn’t happen. The moral of this tale is that Obama is out of touch with the American people — and he still just doesn’t get it. They are sad and mad, and the disappointer-in-chief is banging pots at a bogeyman that doesn’t exist.

she said. “You hug people a little tighter.” The Womacks were among roughly 40 attendees who reflected on 9-11 and its impact during a prayer breakfast Saturday morning, which was held at the Sanford Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5631. “Today is a special day,” Post Commander Aubrey Hall sad during his address, “and our troops are still traveling all over the world to protect our country.” He went to read “I Am the Flag of the United States of America,” a tribute to Old Glory written by Howard Schnauber, as well as a piece about Taps — the military’s famous bugle call. Hall also spoke briefly about the history of American combat, beginning with the “shot heard around the world” that marked the start of the Revolutionary War. “From that point on,” he said, “our country has grown to have the outstanding military we have today.” The veterans assembled for the breakfast had served in conflicts that included World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and the present wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Perry White, chaplain for the VFW Post, flew P-38s and was shot down twice during World War II. Decades later, long since retired, he would learn about the 9-11 attacks through a friend’s phone call. “9-11 hit the American psyche, just like Pearl Harbor did,” White said.

Family members of Sept. 11 victims recited loved ones’ names through tears on the ninth anniversary of the attacks Saturday, avoiding direct mention of the political furor centered two blocks from ground zero. Page 13A

“The Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor, Sept. 11 — these are all things in American history that people remember.” Even if he hadn’t served in the military, White said, his reaction to 9-11 would have been the same. Nine years later, he still struggles to grasp the terrorists’ motivation. “I can’t understand why 9-11 came about,” he said. “I know there’s hatred in the Middle East for America, but I can’t understand why they’d take 3,000 innocent American lives.”

Harold Harrington, a Korean conflict veteran and former mayor of Broadway, remembers walking into a room at Central Carolina Hospital on Sept. 11 and seeing people glued to the television. “It made our way of life change completely,” Harrington said of 9-11, recounting the impact on air travel and national security. “It’s just a complete turnaround from what we were used to.” In Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Womack, there is ample appreciation for American soldiers and their mission. She also receives gratitude at home, where she is thanked frequently when she is out in uniform. The positive impact of 9-11, Womack added, was it’s ability to bring the country together. “It has united us more,” she said, “and I’ve appreciated that.”

Dead infant found outside Winston Planned Parenthood WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Police and Planned Parenthood officials say a dead infant has been found in a blue storage bin outside one of the organization’s North Carolina offices. WRAL-TV in Raleigh reported that the body of a white female newborn was found Saturday morning. An autopsy was planned. Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Melissa Reed said in an e-mail statement that the container had no identifying marks. Police were asking doctors and hospitals to contact them if a woman is treated and shows signs of having recently given birth. North Carolina is one of many states that allows the parent of a newborn to give the baby up within seven days of birth to a health care provider without being punished.

DOBSON (AP) — They’ve come from all over, about 100 people packed in a small room of the Hampton Inn — basically the only thing off this interstate exit in rural Surry County. There are a few suits, a couple of teenagers who got dragged here, and a lot of good old boys in jeans and ballcaps. They’re here for the final chapter of Black Wolf — a nearby vineyard, winery and restaurant that shut down more than a year and a half ago, another casualty of the recession. The property has been on the market for months with no buyers. So on this day, a Friday morning in August, it’s being auctioned to the highest bidder, no minimum price required. The auction industry isn’t exactly thriving in the recession, but it is staying busy. There are plenty of people looking to sell stuff, as they realize they’ve taken on a house they can’t afford or their business runs out of customers. But there are fewer buyers, and most auctioneers will tell you that sales prices for almost all items are down. Tom McInnis, a state champion auction

caller, is at the front of the room. He eggs on the potential buyers, barely taking a breath and speaking so fast that it sounds more like singing than talking. Sometimes he raises both hands like he’s Moses addressing the Israelites. “Opportunity will only knock this morning,” he tells the crowd. “It will not be knocking tomorrow.” Everything that’s left of Black Wolf — the 54 acres of land, the restaurant building, the kitchen equipment, the wine fermenters, the barrels — will be auctioned off piecemeal in 12 “tracts.” Then McInnis will see if any single buyer will trump those bids and buy the whole shebang. The bidders, who punch calculators and furrow their brows as beach music plays in the background, are all looking for a deal. They like the thrill of hunting for treasure, besting their competitors, and making split-second decisions to spend thousands of dollars. But no one is reveling in Black Wolf’s misfortune, especially not the other locals. This auction

may be the quickest way to get Black Wolf off the market, but it’s also just one last indignity. Chris Longly, spokesman for the National Auctioneers Association, says auctions are the best method for selling in both good times and bad. In 2008, the latest date available from the NAA, live auctions generated revenue of $268 billion, up 37 percent from 2002. Car auctions were the biggest segment, accounting for about a third of total sales. Real estate auctions grew the fastest. Auctions bring transparency to pricing, force buyers to be decisive, and let sellers get the highest price that the market will bear because they pit bidders against each other, Longly says. “Wall Street is the largest auction there is,” he says. Black Wolf vineyards is one of those “bad times” stories. It went into foreclosure last year, and the lender, Carolina Farm Credit, put it on the market but couldn’t sell it. So Carolina Farm Credit hired McInnis’ employer, Iron Horse Auction of Rockingham, to finish the

job. Among Iron Horse’s auctioneers is Sonny Weeks, a former commercial real estate broker and former golf pro who decided four years ago to go to auction school. He’d like to say it was because he saw the writing on the commercial real estate wall, but really it’s because his mother-in-law was best friends with one of the instructors. Plus, he figured, it couldn’t hurt to add another skill to his resume. Sometimes there’s bad blood between auctioneers and realtors, because both sides think they have the best method for getting something sold. Weeks, 39 and married with three kids, feels fortunate to be an auctioneer right now instead of a broker, considering the devastation in commercial real estate. He also likes the finality of the auction sales: Once the gavel goes down, the property — be it a vineyard, condo, rare coin or baseball signed by Babe Ruth — is the seller’s problem. Almost all auctions sell items “as is, where is.”

State experiencing rebirth in winemaking By JULIE REED BELL IF YOU GO

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — North Carolina is known for basketball, beaches and barbecue. But wine doesn’t necessarily come to mind when thinking about the Tar Heel State. Yet North Carolina is home to over 90 wineries and has three American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) — Yadkin Valley, Swan Creek and Haw River Valley. For an AVA designation, 85 percent of the grapes have to be grown in the region and there must be a distinctive combination of soil and climate. This results in an identifiable regional wine character, also known as an appellation or district. The number of wineries in North Carolina has more than quadrupled since 2001. Currently, the state ranks seventh in wine production in the United States. The growing industry has two focuses — native muscadine grapes and European-style vinifera grapes. While North Carolina winemaking may seem to be in its infancy now, it’s actually more of a rebirth. The state’s first commercial winery opened in 1835. At the turn of the 20th century, 25 wineries were in operation, making it one of the most productive states in the U.S. But Prohibition effectively shut the industry down and land was turned over to lucrative and legal crops, like tobacco. Several of the vineyards of Swan Creek, located in the northwest part of the state, in fact, are located on the sites of former tobacco farms. There are five wineries in this area within about 16 miles of each other and all are as distinctive as the varieties of grapes they grow. They are family owned and operated and small in terms of wine production. The largest single winery is Raffaldini Vineyards, which produces 5,000 to 6,000 cases per year. All specialize in Europeanstyle grape varieties. The area is an easy hour drive from Charlotte, straight up Interstate 77. Once you get off the highway, a wine trail meanders on twolane roads through lush, rolling farmland of the Yadkin Valley between the Brushy Mountains and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These ranges provide a sandy, loamy, soil for grape cultivation. In fall, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic mountain scenes and vibrant autumn colors

Above is the exterior of Raffaldini Vineyards in Ronda. The number of wineries in North Carolina has more than quadrupled since 2001. Currently, the state ranks seventh in wine production in the United States. in this heavily forested region. First stop on your tour of Swan Creek should be Laurel Gray Vineyards, in the town of Hamptonville (where four of the five wineries on the trail are located). The winery is owned by Benny and Kim Myers and named after their son and daughter. The first grapes were planted here in 2001 on land that has been in the Myers family for 10 generations. Laurel Gray was honored with the 2009 Winegrowers of Excellence in North Carolina award and grows chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, viognier, syrah and pinot gris grapes. The winery produces 1,500 to 1,800 cases of wine per year. Like most boutique wineries, its wine and other products can only be purchased on a trip to the vineyard. Laurel Gray’s charming tasting room is located in a converted 1930s milking parlor and is surrounded by English rose gardens. There’s a relaxing front porch and patio for leisurely sipping with a view of the vineyards and mountains in the distance. Don’t miss the honeysuckle aromas of the viognier or the intense smokiness of the estate reserve cabernet sauvignon. Your next stop will be the grand and majestic Raffaldini Vineyards, located in Ronda. A Tuscan-style villa suddenly and incongruously springs up from the rural hills and valleys of Wilkes County. This terracotta and stucco structure was inspired by the villas in Mantua, Italy, where the Raffaldini family has lived since 1348. When the family came to the United States in the 1950s, they wanted to preserve their home winemaking tradition, and visited 60 spots

around the country before choosing the current location in 2001. Raffaldini was recently named one of the top 10 hot small brands of 2009 by Wine Business Monthly, a trade publication. Raffaldini specializes in Italian grape varieties and grows two dozen types on 43 acres. It is the only exclusively Italian winery in North Carolina and one of relatively few vineyards in the country to grow the vermentino grape. Vermentino is the premier white of Southern Italy and Raffaldini’s version is marvelously crisp and mineral-rich. You can also sample wines made from sangiovese (the predominant grape in Chianti), montepulciano, malbec, petit verdot, tempranillo, moscato, pinot grigio, and petit manseng. Spectacular mountain and vineyard panoramas can be seen from either the first floor piazza-like patio or upstairs balcony of the villa. Your next visit is back in Hamptonville, to Dobbins Creek Vineyards, one of the newer members of the Swan Creek AVA. Retiree Charles King planted his first vines on his father’s former tobacco farm in 2002 and the winery opened to the public in April 2008. Dobbins Creek produces 900 cases a year and King grows merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, chardonnay and riesling. There are only a few riesling producers in the state as the humidity makes it tough for the grape to flourish here, but King says it’s his favorite and worth the extra effort. The tasting room is an expansive and airy log cabin with hickory plank floors and a large stone fireplace. The wine bar itself is covered in 100-year-old cherry wood harvested from the property.

Buck Shoals Vineyards, in the heart of North Carolina’s Amish country, is also in Hamptonville. A nearby bakery and deli is a popular stop for wine tasters to refuel, and horse-drawn buggies can often be seen on the surrounding roads. Owned by Terry and Joanne Crater, the vineyard’s land has been in the Crater family for five generations and until 2002 was a tobacco farm. Buck Shoals opened in 2004 and grows 10 ten varieties: merlot, cabernet sauvignon, nebbiolo, sangiovese, barbera, pinot grigio, traminette, chardonnay and viognier. The winery produces about 5,000 cases a year. Buck Shoals is the only winery in the state with a legal distillery producing award-winning meads (a mead is any beverage

fermented with honey). Buck Shoals also makes Midnight Royal, a portstyle beverage with all local ingredients, and La Gloria, which is a ratafia (basically a white wine port) that’s very sweet. The cozy tasting room is also in a log cabin and features a covered back deck for sipping before a tableau of the vineyards and mountains. Right down the road from Buck Shoals is Shadow Springs Vineyard, the newest addition to the Swan Creek AVA. Shadow Springs’ first vines were planted in 2005 (again, on land that most recently grew tobacco) and the winery opened for tastings in June 2008. Owned by Chuck and Jamey Johnson, Shadow Springs grows merlot, seyval blanc, cabernet franc, chardonnay, viognier, petit verdot, chambourcin and cabernet sauvignon. Their tasting room is bright and modern and fully equipped with the latest technology. There’s a sun room and patio overlooking a spring-

fed lake with a vineyard vista. Shadow Springs is best known for its dessert wines, Shortcake and Dark Shadow. Shortcake is made completely of strawberries and Dark Shadow is made from cabernet sauvignon, seyval blanc and dark chocolate, added right before the wine is bottled. Buck Shoals offers 14 different wines and produce about 2,500 cases per year. “Tasting is believing,” says Margo Knight Metzger, spokeswoman for North Carolina’s Divison of Tourism and former executive director of the North Carolina Wine & Grape Council. “The wine industry here has a bright future.” All the winery owners say their greatest reward is in meeting different types of people, along with the reaction of customers trying something new and discovering they like it. Discover North Carolina wine for yourself — and don’t be afraid to try a local cabernet with that ’cue.

ASHEVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called the Blue Ridge Mountains, but in Asheville in the fall, they might as well be called the orange, red and yellow. The city of 76,000 in Western North Carolina with a small-town, artsy feel, has become a big-time fall foliage destination, not just for the leaves but also for festivals celebrating the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arts culture, beer and bluegrass music. The mix of things to see and do is especially appealing for fall travelers looking for an alternative to New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better-known but sometimes crowded autumn byways. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better place in the Asheville area to see the leaves than the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The parkway intersects Asheville in several places and has miles of scenic overlooks, as well as the highest peak in the eastern U.S., and connections to hiking trails. Starting Sept. 15, the Asheville Convention & Visitors Bureau will send out its weekly color reports to help tourists plan foliage excursions with hiking, viewing and activities tips. And unlike New England and other parts of the Northeast, where foliage radically fades after Columbus Day, the season is longer in the South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see color here all the way through, well into

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better place in the Asheville area to see the leaves than the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. November, depending on the weather,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman Dodie Stephens, though she noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we start to see those cold snaps early on, it can go relatively quickly.â&#x20AC;? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to make the most of this fleeting, natural spectacle: â?? NATURE: Pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway, a stretch of 469 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Its roads wind and climb through the mountains, giving expansive views of Western North Carolina. You can travel the roadway by car or bicycle. Make sure to visit the top of Mount Mitchell, an easy, but scenic hike from the parking lot. Check out the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant on top of the mountain and en-

joy the views. Sign up for the visitors bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color reports at http://www. fallinthemountains.com or follow them on Twitter at FallColorHunter. â?? ACTIVITIES: With fall foliage as your backdrop, take a hike or go a little faster on a tour by Segway or Jeep. The visitors bureau lists activities at http://www. fallinthemountains.com and ranks them based on difficulty to make planning easy. Free hikes are separately listed for early, mid and late fall, and because leaves change first at higher altitudes, the earliest hikes of the season are higher up. You can even go in the company of a llama. The animals will carry your bags and enjoy your hike with you, promises English Mountain Llama Treks at

STATE BRIEFS

DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man has been freed from prison to await retrial in a murder case after his attorneys raised questions about lab work done by North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Bureau of Investigation. Multiple media outlets reported that 31-year Derrick Allen of Durham was freed Friday after spending 12 years in prison for a crime he says he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not awe-struck by this,â&#x20AC;? Allen told The News & Observer of Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to understand, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been categorized as a child molester in prison. A long time ago, I had to find a way to find some peace within myself. You put up firewalls.â&#x20AC;? Judge Orlando Hudson released Allen without bail even though he still faces murder and sexual assault charges in the February 1998 death of his then-girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2year-old daughter. A new trial date hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been set. Last month, an independent review of work done by the SBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime lab from 1987 to 2003 called for a thorough examination of 190 criminal cases, stating information that could have helped

defendants was sometimes misrepresented or withheld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears that it is possible that because of some agency problems with the SBI, this may be a case where we may have to re-evaluate our definition of justice,â&#x20AC;? Judge Orlando Hudson, the senior resident judge in Durham, said during the 30-minute hearing. Prosecutors originally sought the death penalty against Allen and he decided to enter an Alford plea to a lesser charge. Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt, but does acknowledge that prosecutors have enough evidence against him for a jury to convict.

He entered that plea in 1999 and has been trying to undo it ever since, arguing that the sentence he got was more severe than what was allowed at the time and that his court-appointed attorneys fail to prepare an effective defense. He filed his own appeal and won in the state Court of Appeals. Last year, Hudson vacated the plea, setting the stage for a retrial. Then last month, his case was one of 190 that independent reviewers said should be looked at again for the way SBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood analysis unit handled the investigation. In its report on tests done on the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underwear found on a bathroom floor, the SBI said there were chemical indications of blood. But the report did not say that subsequent tests were negative for blood and the stains was described as dilute. Allen has always said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt the child, but did acknowledge he had spanked her as part of toilet training. Mitchell Garrell, the current prosecutor handling the case, said some

information many not have been provided in the original case. But, he said in court Friday, that he will ensure that Allen gets all the information about his case this time. After Allen left jail for the first time in more than 12 years, he went to a restaurant for a steak sandwich. In anticipation of getting out, he had asked his mother to get him a pager. She explained that cell phones were more common these days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always hoped this day would come,â&#x20AC;? his mother, LaVerne Allen, said. When he got home, he put on a clean shirt and new shorts and sat on the porch at his auntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Armed with the GED he earned in prison, he is considering college and his future. First, he said, he needs to find a gym where he can work out and a job so he can help his mother. On Friday, he ate a meal of all the things he has missed while in jail: chicken, ribs, greens, macaroni and cheese, potato salad. Then he went home with his mom to watch a movie.

Rap artist arrested on gun charge at RDU airport

Charlotte native wins stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honor

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A rap artist has been arrested at a North Carolina airport on gun charges. Raleigh-Durham International Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin said 37-yearold Petey Pablo was arrested Saturday morning. He is charged with being a felon with a gun and carrying a concealed, stolen weapon. Hamlin says airport police were notified by Transportation Security Administration agents that a gun had been found in carry-on luggage. Hamlin says Pablo whose real name is Moses Barrett III was arrested without incident. WRAL-TV in Raleigh reported that Pablo was on his way to Los Angeles for the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards. Pablo was released on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. He lives in nearby Knightdale. A phone listing could not be found.

CHARLOTTE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlotte native Mike Leonard, a lawyer whose passion for conservation has helped protect some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most precious lands, will receive North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest civilian honor. The North Carolina Awards have been presented since 1964 to recognize achievement in fine arts, literature, public service and science. Former UNC President Bill Friday, singer James Taylor, poet Maya Angelou and evangelist Billy Graham are among past winners. Leonard, 57, said his interest in conservation sprang from watching development engulf the natural environment of southern Mecklenburg County, where his family lived. As a senior at East Mecklenburg High, he and a friend made a movie about the threatened strip mining of Crowders Mountain in Gaston County that aired on WBTV.

Man awaiting murder trial faces new charges

Cooper trial date pushed into 2011

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlotte Observer

RALEIGH (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Wake County Superior Court judge decided Friday to give the defense team and prosecutors more time to prepare for the murder trial of Brad Cooper, a Cary man accused of killing his wife in 2008. Though no specific date was set, Judge Paul Gessner told lawyers that he thought it would be best to push the trial into 2011 rather than start it in late October as previously scheduled. Gessner held a hearing Friday on the defense teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to move the trial out of Wake County because of extensive publicity. The judge did not rule on the issue but agreed to consider it. Cooper is accused of murdering Nancy Cooper, his 34year-old wife and mother of two whose body was found near a storm drain outside an unfinished Cary subdivision on July 14, 2008.

NEW BERN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina police have charged a 21-year-old man awaiting trial on murder charges with a second, unrelated homicide from 2007. The New Bern Sun Journal reported that Jonquay Marquis Styron was charged Thursday night at the Craven County jail with killing 56year old Robert Pugh. Pugh was shot several times as he walked home early one morning in November 2007. Styron is awaiting trial on murder charges in the death of Clarence Marble III, who also was shot to death in November 2007. A jail officer said Saturday he had no information about whether Styron has an attorney. Styron also faces drug and burglary charges.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

SEPTEMBER 11, 2010 â&#x20AC;˘ A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

9.11 Events go on in shadow of controversies over Islam NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Family members of Sept. 11 victims recited loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names through tears on the ninth anniversary of the attacks Saturday, avoiding direct mention of the political furor centered two blocks from ground zero. Soon after, demonstrations began over the mosque planned for the spot. After the ceremony, around 1,000 activists rallied about five blocks from the site of the 2001 attacks to support the proposed Islamic community center. A smaller group of opponents rallied nearby, chanting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;USA, USA.â&#x20AC;? Speaking at â&#x20AC;&#x153;hallowed groundâ&#x20AC;? at the Pentagon, President Barack Obama alluded to the controversy over a mosque â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a Florida pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threat, later rescinded, to burn copies of the Muslim holy book. Obama made it clear that the U.S. is not at war with Islam and called the al-Qaida attackers â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sorry band of menâ&#x20AC;? who perverted religion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not give in to their hatred,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Americans, we will not or ever be at war with Islam.â&#x20AC;? Family members gathering at observances in New York and Pennsylvania brought flowers, pictures of loved ones and American flags, but no signs of opposition or support for the mosque. Reading victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names along with architects and construction workers rebuilding at ground zero in New York, they urged a restrained tone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let today never, ever be a national

holiday. Let it not be a celebration,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Carroll, who lost her brother, firefighter Thomas Kuveikis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day to be somber; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day to reflect on all those thousands of people that died for us in the United States.â&#x20AC;? Toting signs saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attack on Islam is racismâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tea Party Bigots funded by corporate $,â&#x20AC;? protesters gathered about an hour after the New York anniversary ceremony ended near City Hall and planned to march closer to ground zero. Elizabeth Meehan, a 51-year-old Christian from Saratoga, N.Y., rode in by bus from her home 180 miles away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really fearful of all of the hate thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in our country. People in one brand of Christianity are coming out against other faiths, and I find that so sad,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muslims are fellow Americans; they should have the right to worship in America just like anyone else.â&#x20AC;? At the anti-mosque rally nearby, some participants wore clothing featuring stars and stripes, and some carried signs with messages including â&#x20AC;&#x153;It stops hereâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never forgive, never forget, no WTC mosque.â&#x20AC;? At the anniversary ceremony, stifling sobs in front of microphones, some Sept. 11 family members who read names sought to emphasize sentiments on all sides of the mosque argument. Some â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Elizabeth Mathers, whose father, Charles Mathers, worked at Marsh & McLennan at the trade center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stressed that ground zero is hallowed.

A firefighter salutes as taps is played for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, during a commemoration ceremony at Zuccotti Park, adjacent to ground zero, on the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New York, please be mindful this is a sacred site and should be respected as such,â&#x20AC;? she said. Many sought to embrace unity and a spirit of reaching out, which is what the developers of the Islamic center have said is their goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May we share your courage as we build bridges with other people to prevent this from happening again and to preserve human dignity for all,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Ferris, saluting the dozens of building workers who joined families in reading names. Ferris lost his father, who worked at Aon Corp. Bagpipes and drums played to open the ceremony, followed by brief comments by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again we meet to commemorate the day we have come to call 9/11. We have returned to this sacred site to join our hearts together, the names of

those we loved and lost,â&#x20AC;? Bloomberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No other public tragedy has cut our city so deeply. No other place is as filled with our compassion, our love and our solidarity.â&#x20AC;? Moments of silence were held at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:59 a.m. and 10:28 a.m. to mark the times the hijacked jetliners hit the north and south towers of the World Trade Center, as well as the times they collapsed. Hundreds of family members later placed roses in a reflecting pool at ground zero in front of a memorial, leaving scrawled remembrances on paper around it. Visible behind the podium of mourners were the beginnings of two skyscrapers rising at the site along with a transit hub. Laura Bush, first lady at the time of the attacks, joined current first lady Michelle Obama at a service in Shanksville, Pa.,

for victims of the flight that crashed in a field there, while the president attended the service at the Pentagon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the memory of those who gave their lives here continue to be an inspiration to you and an inspiration to all of America,â&#x20AC;? Michelle Obama said, thanking Bush for helping the country through the aftermath of Sept. 11. The mosque debate pits advocates of religious freedom against critics who say putting an Islamic center so close to ground zero disrespects the dead. While the rallies in New York embroiled victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members in a feud over whether to play politics, a threat to burn copies of the Quran was apparently called off. Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who made the threat, flew to New York on Friday night and appeared Saturday on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show. He said his

church would not burn the Quran, a plan that inflamed much of the Muslim world and drew a stern rebuke from Obama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that God is telling us to stop,â&#x20AC;? he told NBC. Pressed on whether his church would ever burn the Islamic holy book, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not today, not ever. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go back and do it. It is totally canceled.â&#x20AC;? Protests continued Saturday in Afghanistan. Police fired warning shots to prevent protesters from storming the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence in Puli Alam in Logar province, officials said. Villagers set fire to tires and briefly blocked a highway to Pakistan, a provincial spokesman said. John Bolton, who was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, was expected to send a videotaped message of support to the anti-mosque rally, as was conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart. Anti-Islam Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who advocates banning the Quran and taxing Muslim women who wear head scarves, planned to address the crowd in person, as do a handful of Republican congressional candidates who have made opposition to the mosque a centerpiece of their campaigns. Muslim prayer services are normally held at the site, but it was padlocked Friday and closed Saturday, the official end of the holy month of Ramadan. Police planned 24-hour patrols until next week. Worshippers on Friday were redirected to a different prayer room 10 blocks away.

NATION BRIEFS Double-decker bus crashes in central NY; 4 killed

SALINA, N.Y. (AP) — A double-decker bus traveling off its usual route slammed into a low railroad bridge in the pre-dawn darkness Saturday in a wreck that killed four passengers and critically injured others, authorities said. The Megabus was carrying 27 people, including the driver, when it rammed the bridge around 2:30 a.m. on the Onondaga Lake Parkway in Salina, a suburb of Syracuse in central New York. The bus lay on its side after the crash. Twenty-four people were taken to hospitals, most suffering from minor injuries, officials said. A handful remained hospitalized Saturday afternoon. The bus was too tall to make it under the low-hanging span, said Larry Ives, supervisor of dispatch operations for the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department. It struck the bridge between two large signs warning that the clearance was 10 feet, 9 inches, photographs from WSYR-TV showed. The top level of the bus was crushed and partially peeled back in the front. The driver of the bus had head injuries but was speaking to investigators, Onondaga County sheriff’s deputy Herb Wiggins told The Post-Standard newspaper of Syracuse. The dead included three men and a woman in her teens or early 20s, Sheriff Kevin Walsh told the newspaper.

Fire managers confident Colo. wildfire won’t spread

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Fire managers are confident they’ve stopped a wildfire burning in the Colorado foothills from spreading, but people who live in the blaze’s path still didn’t know Saturday when they would be able to return to their homes — or what remains of them. The fire has destroyed at least 169 houses and is burning on a 10-square-mile area in canyons 5 miles west of Boulder. About half the blaze’s perimeter now has fire lines built around it to keep sparks from spreading the flames to the area beyond. Crews hope to have the fire fully contained by Monday thanks to calmer winds and the work done by about 1,000 firefighters from 20 states in digging those lines. “We’re thinking this fire is not going to move,” fire spokesman Terry Krasko said. Firefighters focused Saturday on putting out fires within the perimeter, Krasko said. The latest infrared flight done over the burn area showed several areas of isolated heat but no large pockets of intense heat, as previously seen. No smoke could be seen coming up over the ridge where the fire was burning Saturday and the weather was calm after two straight days of gusty winds. In another sign of progress, Krasko said eight of the approximately 110 fire engines working on the fire would be allowed to return home Saturday.

Senate urged to repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

NEW YORK (AP) — Elated by a major court victory, gayrights activists are stepping up pressure on Congress to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy this month. They want to avoid potentially lengthy appeals and fear their chances for a legislative fix will fade after Election Day. The House voted in May to repeal the 17-year-old policy banning openly gay service members. Many majority Democrats in the Senate want to take up the matter in the remaining four weeks before

Poverty to reach record levels

the pre-election recess, but face opposition from Republican leaders. National gay-rights groups, fearing possible Democratic losses on Nov. 2, urged their supporters Friday to flood senators’ offices with phone calls and e-mails asking that the Senate vote on the measure during the week of Sept. 20.

Residents wait to move back to burned neighborhood SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — Residents of a neighborhood devastated by a thunderous pipeline explosion and inferno likely won’t be allowed to allowed to move back into their homes Saturday, a local official said. After authorities toured the damaged area Saturday, San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said some residents were being allowed back into a limited section to retrieve some belongings. But he said he “doubts” that any will be able to return permanently to their homes Saturday. “We’re being very cautious,” Ruane said. Calif. Sen. Barbara Boxer, National Transportation Safety Board Vice Chairman Christopher Hart, Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado and other local officials toured the burned-out homes, some of which are left with only a chimney standing. Boxer says the group saw remnants of melted cars in driveways as well as a portion of the ruptured pipeline.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty. Census figures for 2009 — the recession-ravaged first year of the Democrat’s presidency — are to be released in the coming week, and demographers expect grim findings. It’s unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power. “The most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there,” Obama said Friday at a White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, “If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle.” Interviews with six demographers who closely track poverty trends found wide consensus that 2009

figures are likely to show a significant rate increase to the range of 14.7 percent to 15 percent. Should those estimates hold true, some 45 million people in this country, or more than 1 in 7, were poor last year. It would be the highest single-year increase since the government began calculating poverty figures in 1959. The previous high was in 1980 when the rate jumped 1.3 percentage points to 13 percent during the energy crisis. Among the 18-64 working-age population, the demographers expect a rise beyond 12.4 percent, up from 11.7 percent. That would make it the highest since at least 1965, when another Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, launched the war on poverty that expanded the federal government’s role in social welfare programs from education to health care. Demographers also are confident the report will show: ■ Child poverty increased from 19 percent to more than 20 percent. ■ Blacks and Latinos were disproportionately hit, based on their higher rates of unemployment. ■ Metropolitan areas that posted the largest gains in poverty included Modesto, Calif.; Detroit; Cape Coral-Fort Myers,

Fla.; Los Angeles and Las Vegas. “My guess is that politically these figures will be greeted with alarm and dismay but they won’t constitute a clarion call to action,” said William Galston, a domestic policy aide for President Bill Clinton. “I hope the parties don’t blame each other for the desperate circumstances of desperate people. That would be wrong in my opinion. But that’s not to say it won’t happen.” Lawrence M. Mead, a New York University political science professor who is a conservative and wrote “The New Politics of Poverty: The Nonworking Poor in America,” argued that the figures will have a minimal impact in November. “Poverty is not as big an issue right now as middleclass unemployment. That’s a lot more salient politically right now,” he said. But if Thursday’s report is as troubling as expected, Republicans in the midst of an increasingly strong drive to win control of the House, if not the Senate, would get one more argument to make against Democrats in the campaign homestretch. The GOP says voters should fire Democrats because Obama’s economic fixes are hindering

the sluggish economic recovery. Rightly or wrongly, Republicans could cite a higher poverty rate as evidence. Democrats almost certainly will argue that they shouldn’t be blamed. They’re likely to counter that the economic woes — and the poverty increase — began under President George W. Bush with the near-collapse of the financial industry in late 2008. Although that’s true, it’s far from certain that the Democratic explanation will sway voters who already are trending heavily toward the GOP in polls as worrisome economic news piles up. Hispanics and blacks — traditionally solid Democratic constituencies — could be inclined to stay home in November if, as expected, the Census Bureau reports that many more of them were poor last year. Beyond this fall, the findings could put pressure on Obama to expand government safety net programs ahead of his likely 2012 re-election bid even as Republicans criticize him about federal spending and annual deficits. Those are areas of concern for independent voters whose support is critical in elections.

FILM REVIEW: ‘I’M STILL HERE’

E-BRIEFS

Self-indulgent, pointless ‘documentary’ By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

oaquin Phoenix may truly have walked away from a much-heralded acting career two years ago to pursue his artistic expression as a rapper. His look, which went from dark and mysterious to shaggy and doughy, may simply have been part of his transformative process. Or not. It becomes increasingly difficult to care about discerning what’s real and what’s a hoax as the documentary “I’m Still Here” drones on. We have to use the word “documentary” loosely, however, because it suggests an attempt at capturing fact on film. What “I’m Still Here” captures is questionable. Casey Affleck, an esteemed actor in his own right who is directing for the first time, gets such intimate access to Phoenix, it’s often uncomfortable to watch, especially when Phoenix is bent over a toilet yacking or having a particularly vile prank played on him while he’s asleep. That’s unsurprising, given that Affleck is married to Phoenix’s sister, Summer, and the two co-starred in Gus Van Sant’s “To Die For” 15 years ago. And similar to Van Sant’s recent films, “I’m Still Here” often has a natural aesthetic and a languid, meandering vibe

Documentary or an elaborate set-up? It’s hard to tell in the new Joaquin Pheonix film, “I’m Still Here,” a self-indulgent, pointless piece of work, according to Christy Lemire. that makes you wonder what’s going to happen next — that is, if you’re still awake. Affleck’s camera stalks Phoenix as he walks and talks and rants and smokes (four things he does for the entirety of the film), and tries to explain the conundrum of reconciling art and celebrity. If he watches his own performances, does he become too conscious of them, and does that affect future performances? If he reads articles about himself that describe him as emotional and intense, is he really that way, or does he become that way because it’s the image that’s being projected onto him? Intriguing existential questions, all. And at times, “I’m Still Here” does give the impression that it’s trying to achieve an understand-

ing of the fragility of fame. Mostly, though, it feels like an elaborate put-on, with celebrities such as Ben Stiller and Sean Combs in on the joke. The fact that Affleck often has multiple cameras going at once is a hint. So are the closing credits, in which Affleck and Phoenix are listed as co-writers. If there is an actual structure here, though, it’s often elusive. Phoenix complains a lot about being misunderstood, gives passionate bear hugs to fellow actors Sean Penn, Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson and Danny Glover at a play rehearsal, and makes a halfhearted attempt at attending President Obama’s inauguration. He also snorts what looks like cocaine off the naked breasts of a woman who is supposedly

a prostitute, smokes joint after joint and cavorts with the various sycophants who are constantly around and frequently nude. He also raps — badly. His rhymes are monotone, his beats are tinny and his lyrics are inane. He agonizes in his home studio and performs awkwardly on stage in front packed, bewildered crowds in Las Vegas and Miami. When he finally gets Combs to sit down and listen to his demo, Combs is polite but direct: Phoenix is not good enough to do this. The producer’s reaction crushes Phoenix. But is it a genuine reaction? Phoenix does seem crestfallen, and beats himself up as convincingly as he does after his infamously painful Letterman appearance. (Affleck includes the whole interview, which is just as much of a scream as it was when it first aired in 2008.) Then again, this is a two-time Oscar nominee for “Gladiator” and “Walk the Line.” This is a guy who can be frighteningly good at what he does — when it comes to acting, at least. Ultimately, though, the person depicted in “I’m Still Here” becomes more sullen, demanding, abusive and paranoid. If we’re truly witnessing the unraveling of a talented man in his prime, it’s just sad. If it’s all performance art, though, it’s just pointless.

Bieber prepares for VMAs with concert in Los Angeles

Professional split between Lady Gaga and music producer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Visitors to Staples Center and the adjacent L.A. Live plaza were treated to an unannounced free concert Friday when Justin Bieber took to an outdoor stage to rehearse his performance for Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. A crowd slowly gathered as the teen sensation and his team of dancers and musicians rehearsed for about two hours Friday afternoon. MTV representatives said they hadn’t announced Bieber’s outdoor rehearsal to avoid drawing the swarms of fans who have crowded the 16year-old pop star’s public appearances around the world. Wearing a red varsity jacket with a sparkly “B” on the front, Bieber practiced his arrival to the outdoor stage in a cherry red 1957 Chevy Bel Air, chased by a pack of (precast) girls. Then, backed by a team of dancers and musicians, Bieber moonwalked and made a heart shape with his hands as he belted out his hit “Baby.” Passers-by wielded camera phones from behind barricades, and teenage admirers erupted in shrill screams anytime Bieber was within earshot. He smiled at them and flashed a peace sign with his fingers. Though barely bigger than the troupe of pint-sized hip-hop dancers (age 9 through 13) who joined him on stage, Bieber acted like a seasoned pro.

NEW YORK (AP) — They may have had a bad romance, but now there’s a cordial professional split between Lady Gaga and a music producer who said she ditched him as both a collaborator and a boyfriend after he helped launch her career. Court papers filed this week show the Grammy Award-winning “Bad Romance” singer and songwriter-producer Rob Fusari agreed to dismiss the lawsuits each filed against the other in March in a Manhattan court. He’d sought $30.5 million, but it’s unclear whether they made any monetary deal. “Lady Gaga and Rob Fusari have agreed to end their dispute amicably and wish each other well. There will be no further comment by either of them,” the singer’s camp said in a statement. A lawyer for Fusari didn’t immediately respond to phone and e-mail messages Friday. Fusari had said the popmeets-performance-art sensation shoehorned him out of her lucrative career after he co-wrote such Gaga hits as “Paparazzi” and “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich,” came up with her stage name and helped get her record deal.

Sofia Coppola’s ’Somewhere’ wins top Venice prize

VENICE, Italy (AP) — Sofia Coppola’s “Somewhere,” the tale of an actor who sees the emptiness of his existence through the eyes of his child, won the top Golden Lion prize at the Venice film festival Saturday. Director Quentin Tarantino headed the jury, which unanimously chose Coppola’s film as the best movie at the 11-day annual festival. The buzz in the final days of the festival had pegged “Somewhere” as a sure winner, and the jury appeared to have had no doubts, either. “This film enchanted us from its first screening,” Tarantino said. “It has the artistry we were looking for in a Golden Lion” winner, he told the closing ceremony. Coppola has described the film, which made its world premiere at Venice, as a “portrait of today’s L.A.” In “Somewhere,” a movie star, played by Stephen Dorff, realizes how empty is life is when he travels with his 11-year-old daughter, played by Elle Fanning. Coppola, 39, herself grew up in the world of film thanks to her father, director Francis Ford Coppola.

Thousands join in anti-Quran-burning protest

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghans set fire to tires in the streets and shouted “Death to America” for a second day Saturday despite a decision by an American pastor to call off plans to burn copies of the Islamic holy book. The protests, the largest drawing a crowd estimated at more than 10,000 people, continued despite a decision by a Florida pastor to call off plans to burn copies of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States that triggered the war in Afghanistan. The pastor, Terry Jones, told NBC on Saturday that “we feel that God is telling us to stop” the Quran burning, which had stirred outrage among millions of Muslims and others worldwide. “We’re not going to go back and do it,” Jones said,

A supporter of Pakistani religious party Jamat-e-Islami holds a copy of Quran during a rally to condemn the intention of a small American church to burn copies of the Quran, in Karachi, Pakistan on Friday. referring to the planned burning. “It is totally canceled.” But in a country where most people have limited access to newspapers, television and the Internet, most Afghans were unaware of Jones’ decision.

The Taliban have been distributing pamphlets decrying Jones’ plans, claiming they showed the Americans were in Afghanistan to wage war against Islam. In Logar province near the capital of Kabul, police

fired warning shots to prevent protesters from storming the governor’s residence in the provincial capital of Puli Alam, officials said. Villagers set fire to tires and briefly blocked the main highway to neighboring Pakistan,

according to provincial spokesman Din Mohammad Darwish. Nabi Charkhi, the deputy provincial police chief, estimated the crowd at more than 10,000. Witnesses said Taliban agitators were among the crowd. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for their personal safety. At least four people were injured, police said. “All these youths, elders have gathered here because of the Quran,” said Amir Gul, a Logar protester. “We will continue our protest until they change their decision about burning our holy book and we will not keep silent.” Another protester, Abdullah Hanafi, said that if copies of the Quran are set ablaze, the government should join forces with the Taliban “to force all the invaders from our country.” In the northeastern

province of Badakhshan, several thousand people took to the streets in three separate districts, although the demonstrations were generally peaceful, according to provincial police chief Gen. Agha Noor Kemtuz. Several hundred protesters rallied Saturday outside the giant Bagram Air Field, a major NATO base north of Kabul. The protest ended peacefully after about an hour, Afghan officials said. At least 11 people were injured in similar protests across Afghanistan on Friday. Last Tuesday, the top U.S. and NATO commander, Gen. David Petraeus, warned that images of the burning of a Quran “would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence.”

DJOKOVIC UPSETS FEDERER, TO FACE NADAL NEW YORK (AP) — So much for Rafa vs. Roger in the U.S. Open final. Novak Djokovic prevented what would have been the eighth Grand Slam championship match between tennis’ top two men — and first such showdown at Flushing Meadows — by saving two match points and coming back to stun Roger Federer 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 62, 7-5 in Saturday’s semifinals. So that means it’ll be the third-seeded Djokovic standing between No. 1 Rafael Nadal and a career Grand Slam in the final Sunday. Nadal owns eight major titles but never had been past the semifinals at the U.S. Open before beating No. 12 Mikhail Youzhny 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday. Federer had reached six consecutive finals at the U.S. Open, winning five trophies from 2004-08, but he repeatedly let leads slip away this time.

Basketball durant’s 38 points carry us to title game

ISTANBUL (AP) — Kevin Durant carried the United States into the gold-medal game at the world championship, scoring a U.S.-record 38 points Saturday in an 89-74 victory over Lithuania. With a special 9/11 message on his sneakers, Durant soared over defenders or stepped away from them for 3-pointers, scoring 17 in the first quarter to stake the Americans to an early lead that was never seriously challenged. He went on to surpass Carmelo Anthony’s single-game record of 35 points and raise his average in the tournament to 22.1, which would be the best ever by a U.S. player. More importantly, he guaranteed the Americans a chance at their first world title since 1994. They will play Turkey, which beat Serbia 83-82, on Sunday.

baseball YANKEES GIVE SLUMPING JETER A DAY OFF

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is out of the lineup, which manager Joe Girardi says is more because of a long game the previous night than an attempt to help pull his captain out of a prolonged slump. Jeter went 1 for 7 in a 6-5 loss to the Texas Rangers in 13 innings on Friday night. The game took 5 hours, 12 minutes. Over longer stretches, Jeter is 2 for 18 and 7 for 61. His average this season is .260 — 57 points below his career average and his worst by far for a full season. Saturday night against the Rangers was only the sixth game he hasn’t started this season. He’s been at shortstop for 131 games, five more at designated hitter.

ODU routs Campbell, 44-13 From staff reports

WESLEY BEESON / The Sanford Herald

Former Lee County Yellow Jacket and current Duke running back Jay Hollingsworth comes in for an offensive block against Wake Forest Saturday at BB&T Stadium in Winston-Salem.

Offenses shine as Demon Deacons hold off Blue Devils By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer WINSTON-SALEM — No matter who’s at quarterback, Wake Forest showed it can still do two things: Pile up points, and beat Duke. Backup Tanner Price threw three touchdown passes and ran for another, and the Demon Deacons held off the Blue Devils 54-48 on Saturday for its 11th straight victory in the series. Price was 12 of 19 for 190 yards with scoring passes covering 13, 38 and 23 yards and an early 1-yard scoring run for Wake Forest (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which posted the first consecutive 50point games in school history and won the second-highestscoring game in league history. “As a football coach, your worst nightmare is when you get into those shootouts,” Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. “Your comfort zone’s around your defense being stingy, and so I think it was a great TV game. If you’re sitting at home watching it, you’re loving it because that score keeps going up.” Wake Forest outgained the Blue Devils 500-487. During an early 5-minute stretch, the teams combined for three touchdowns of at least 60 yards.

Wake Forest Ted Stachitas (13) runs the ball in for a touchdown during first quarter play as Duke defender Tevin Hood (right) moves in for the tackle. Wake Forest won the game in a shootout 54-48. Stachitas went out of the game for good with a contusion on his non-throwing hand. “We’ve got to tackle better to begin with. And (have) the discipline to be consistent enough not to give up huge plays,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “We got the ball run at us, and we got the ball thrown at us. A lot of it was not tackling very well.” Sean Renfree was 28 of 44 for 358 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions for

Duke (1-1, 0-1). Conner Vernon caught two TDs, covering 70 and 51 yards. Renfree’s second scoring pass to Vernon made it a sixpoint game with 1:39 remaining, but Marshall Williams recovered the ensuing onside kick.

BUIES CREEK — The Campbell football team lost to Old Dominion 44-13 on Saturday at Barker Lane Stadium in the home opener for the Camels. The Monarchs got the scoring started with a Thomas DeMarco 22-yard touchdown pass to Marquel Thomas to finish off a 12 play 76-yard drive to open the game. The touchdown was ODU’s ninth opening drive score in 13 career games. The Monarchs continued their offensive attack and scored on their second possession of the game on a DeMarco 10-yard toss to Reid Evans with 5:32 left in the first quarter. The extra point was missed to keep the margin at 13-0. DeMarco connected again with Evans for a score on the first play of the second quarter, this time from eight-yards out, to increase the margin to 20-0 after the made Brown extra point. The Camels broke through for a score and grinded down the second quarter clock with a 14-play 80-yard drive that covered 7:40 of clock time. The drive was completed on redshirt senior Daniel Polk’s six-yard jaunt. The extra point from redshirt junior Adam Willets made the score 20-7 with 1:13 remaining in the half. Campbell cut the deficit to 10 at the break on Willets’ 46yard field goal. The field goal finished off a four play 27-yard drive for Campbell that was aided by two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on ODU that negated a potential Polk interception. The field goal was the second longest of Willets’ career. The entire drive was set up off an intercep-

Friday night

Turnovers, penalties and missed PAT’s hurt Chargers

Comeback bid falls short for Eagles

By Jeremy Trantham Special to The Herald CHAPEL HILL — With only five seniors on Chapel Hill’s roster, it only figures that a sophomore would start at quarterback. It also figures that young T.J. Johnson would engineer the go-ahead drive late in the game. Johnson’s 1-yard sneak with 1:33 to play Friday gave the Tigers (2-2) the lead for good in their 28-24 home victory over Northwood (13). The 6-foot-3, 225-pound quarterback set up the score with a 23-yard run and two completions to R.J. Quick for 41 yards on the drive. “T.J. is settling in better each week,” said Chapel Hill coach Issac Marsh. “That (scramble) was a big play from him.” Johnson’s 176 passing yards - Quick had 136 of

tion from sophomore Paul Pizzuti. ODU added a touchdown to the lead to start the second half as DeMarco connected with Thomas for the second time, this one from eight-yards out,

those on six catches - were just enough to overcome huge rushing nights from Charger backs Kevin Williams (216 rushing yards and three touchdowns) and Tra Chandler (12-116). Northwood generated just more than 400 rushing yards but the offense was undone by three turnovers and six holding penalties, though the Chargers’ inability to convert on any of their four PATs proved to be the difference in the score. “We’ve got to do better

defensively,” Marsh said. “But I think this is going to be the story of the year for us because we’re so young.” It didn’t help that the Tigers lost a second starting linebacker in Friday’s game, Marsh said. Northwood took its first lead of the game in the fourth-quarter on the first of Williams’ two 43-yard touchdown runs. Quick then set up a six-yard touchdown run from Kenyon Ross, who finished with 95 rushing yards, on a 36-yard completion. After Williams’ second long scoring run, Johnson and the Tigers bounced right back. Chapel Hill will prepare to face rival East Chapel Hill next Friday while Northwood will try to bounce back at home against Providence Grove.

Panthers expect Giants to be motivated CHARLOTTE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The New York Giants will have a little extra motivation when they play the Carolina Panthers. They might not admit it to outsiders, but the memories of last Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41-9 blowout to close the old Giants Stadium will have to be on their minds when they take the field Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing against a team that has a little professional animosity against you because of what you did to them in their stadium last year,â&#x20AC;? Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams said. The Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; domination that day was complete, hardly the send-off to their venerable venue they were hoping for. The Panthers ran for 247 yards (206 of them by Jonathan Stewart), killing any slim playoff hopes the Giants had when they walked in that cold December afternoon. On conference calls with Charlotte-area reporters, both coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning downplayed the incentive they might have to pay the Panthers back, saying they have more pressing

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore will face the New York Giants in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season opener Sudnay, and the Panthers are eager to see how he performs. issues to concern themselves with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, I just want to focus on this year,â&#x20AC;? said Manning, who threw two interceptions that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new season and the first game of the season; you always like to start off fast and play well in the opening game and try to forget a lot about last year.â&#x20AC;? Said Coughlin: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. That was the end of the season a year ago. We felt really badly that we did not play well and

did not close the old Giants Stadium with a win, a stadium that has been such a proud place of so many outstanding New York teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen and so we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end the season the way we wanted to finish it and those are the factors, I think you deal with yourself first and my concerns are with our team.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not a coincidence that the league scheduled the Panthers to open the new build-

ing, a gleaming 82,500seat palace dubbed New Meadowlands Stadium until they secure a naming rights deal. After all, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better than a built-in storyline (like the Saints-Vikings opener Thursday). But mostly, the Giants want to try to show their home fans a different face, if only because the last one they displayed had a black eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You like to think your home stadium is a difficult place for opponents to play,â&#x20AC;? Coughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether it was real or myth we had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;win factorâ&#x20AC;? at the old Giants Stadium and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that comes into play at the new stadium.â&#x20AC;? Injury report The Panthers listed three players as out for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, and they likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even make the trip. Right tackle Jeff Otah (knee), running back Tyrell Sutton (shoulder) and linebacker/special teamer Jordan Senn (ankle) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play against the Giants. Defensive end Tyler Brayton (ankle), who practiced all week, was listed as probable. -The Charlotte Observer

NFL Notebook Curry hopes changes lead to more big plays

RENTON, Wash. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; His freakish speed and strength were supposed to make Aaron Curry an impact NFL linebacker who would cause problems for opposing offenses from the moment he played his first game. Problem was, Curry had too many talents. And he was a rookie. And he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet learned the right way of mixing natural adrenaline with his physical quickness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes last year he had a tendency to overrun some plays. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural cause a) heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rookie and b) heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast,â&#x20AC;? Seahawks middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that adrenaline and speed can be a bad combination for you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it right. But his awareness has picked up a lot.â&#x20AC;? After spending most of his first NFL season in a continuing quest to find out just how Curry could be the most effective, the Seahawks believe their 2010 plan just might work. Now entering his second year, the Seahawks outside linebacker is expected to play closer to the line of scrimmage this season, taking advantage of his strength and speed getting off the snap. The goal: that Curry can cause havoc sooner.

Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson ready to pick up where he left off

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chris Johnson is ready to pick up where he left off in 2009, running wild as he chases Eric Dickersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFL rushing record and even a whole new benchmark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2,500 yards on the ground. Recent history says he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a much better opponent for starting his quest than the Oakland Raiders, who travel to Tennessee to play the Titans in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener. Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense ranked 29th in the NFL last season, giving up an average of 155.5 yards rushing per game. The Raiders gave up a season-worst 241 yards at Denver. Tennessee running backs have had some big days against the Raiders. Eddie George posted the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-best opening day Aug. 31, 1997, when he ran for 216 yards against an Oakland defense that withered under the Tennessee sun and his 35 rushes. The NFL Offensive Player of the Year hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard that number until this week and sees Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mark as something to run toward on opening day. Still, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my main focus is to go in and get the win,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

College Football Dukes stun No. 13 Hokies

4B / Sunday, September 12, 2010 / The Sanford Herald College Football Notes No. 10 Oklahoma routs No. 17 FSU

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Landry Jones outplayed Christian Ponder by throwing for 380 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 10 Oklahoma moved past a shaky season opener with a 47-17 victory against No. 17 Florida State on Saturday. A rematch of the 2001 Orange Bowl that brought home the Sooners’ most recent national championship quickly turned into a blowout as Oklahoma (2-0) scored touchdowns on its first four possessions. Jones did much of his damage with short, swing passes and screens near the line of scrimmage before striking down field for scores. He completed 14 straight passes at one point, starting at the end of the Sooners’ opening drive and continuing past when he’d pushed the

=deZ GZhidgZY ;djg

lead to 27-7 with his third touchdown pass. Ponder was just 11 for 28 for 113 yards with interceptions on back-to-back throws in the third quarter for Florida State (1-1).

Michigan beats Notre Dame 28-24

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Denard Robinson capped another electrifying performance Saturday by running for a 2-yard touchdown with 27 seconds left, sending Michigan to a 28-24 victory over Notre Dame. Robinson also had an 87-yard TD run and finished with 502 total yards offense, easily eclipsing the Michigan quarterback record he set against UConn (383) a week earlier. He carried 28 times for 258 yards — also a Michigan quarterback mark — and two touchdowns while passing for another 244 with a TD. He completed 24 of 40 passes. Notre Dame’s Dayne Crist, who missed most of the first half after being banged up on an opening TD drive, hit Kyle Rudolph with a 95-yard TD pass to put the Irish ahead with 3:41 left. But Robinson then led Michigan (2-0) on a 12-play, 72-yard drive, scoring the game-winning TD himself — a fitting end.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Two games into the season, and No. 13 Virginia Tech can already forget the national championship talk that prevailed throughout their preseason camp. These Hokies can’t even beat an FBS powerhouse, losing 21-16 to James Madison on Saturday. It was their second consecutive performance dominated not by a powerhouse offense, a stout defense or game-changing special teams, but by mistakes, missed tackles and disappointment. “I don’t know what’s going on,” tailback Ryan Williams said. “I really don’t.” Drew Dudzik ran for two touchdowns and threw for another for the Dukes

Virginia Tech’s Darren Evans rests his head on the bench as the clock runs down in their 21-16 loss to James Madison Saturday at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. (2-0), a top team in the Football Championship Subdivision, but only the second from a lower tier to

beat Virginia Tech. Richmond, also in the FCS, beat the Hokies 24-14 at Lane Stadium in 1985.

Four picks lift Buckeyes over Miami COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Seven years later, the rematch wasn’t nearly as close. Terrelle Pryor ran for 113 yards and a touchdown and passed for another Saturday and No. 2 Ohio State intercepted Jacory Harris four times in a 36-24 victory over 12th-ranked Miami on

The Price is Right P.R. FRAZIER

Saturday. The last time the teams had met was in the national championship game at the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, with the Buckeyes taking a dramatic and controversial 31-24 victory in double-overtime. But this one was no work of art, with numerous sloppy plays and bad tackling. But it kept the Buckeyes (2-0) perfect and prevented the Hurricanes

(1-1) from making a case they belonged back among the nation’s elite. In what was billed as a Heisman showcase, Pryor completed just 12 of 27 passes for 233 yards but added 20 carries, scoring on a 13-yard run. Harris was 22 of 39 passing for 232 yards and a touchdown but had the four interceptions — three of which could easily have been caught.

Virginia Tech is the second ranked team to lose to a lower division team. The first was No. 5 Michigan, which fell 34-32 to I-AA Appalachian State on Sept. 1, 2007. Dudzik called it the biggest victory in school history, and coach Mickey Matthews agreed, a remarkable thought because Matthews led the Dukes to the 2004 FCS national championship. “This is the biggest win of my professional career,” he said. And it happened with Tech looking too much like the mistake-prone team that lost just six days earlier 33-30, when No. 3 Boise State scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:09 left.

P.R. Frazier

It was the last interception which proved to be particularly costly for the ’Canes. Trailing 26-17 at the half, Miami took the secondhalf kickoff and drove to a first down at the Ohio State 6. But on third-and-goal, Harris’ pass over the middle was wide of the mark and intercepted by burly Buckeyes defensive end Cameron Heyward, who rumbled 80 yards. That set up Pryor’s touchdown run. He rolled right, looking to pass, then reversed field and scored untouched. The Hurricanes, whose earlier scores both came on kick returns, scored on Harris’ 9-yard pass to Chase Ford on the first play of the fourth quarter, cutting the lead to 36-24.

ception 46 yards for a touchdown in a dominating start for the Pirates (2-0, 2-0 CUSA), who last week needed a last-play touchdown pass to beat Tulsa 51-49 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. This time, the Pirates ran out to a 28-3 first-quarter lead and coasted the rest of the way in front of another big home crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even I heard, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Good game last week,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; as I was walking to the stadium, so I know the players got it on campus,â&#x20AC;? McNeill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And deservedly so, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing I did worry about: them having a hangover from that win.â&#x20AC;? That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem,

as the Tigers (0-2, 0-1) never came close to making this a game. After a terrible start to Larry Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaching tenure in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 49-7 loss at Mississippi State, the best thing they could claim from this one is they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the final margin look a whole lot worse. Memphis never got within two possessions after the opening period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got off to a very slow start,â&#x20AC;? Porter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put our defense in some tough situations.â&#x20AC;? The Pirates, at least, have some positives to build on heading into a three-game road trip. First comes a pair of games against No. 13 Virginia Tech and instate rival North Carolina of the Atlantic Coast Conference, then a league road game at Southern Mississippi.

Will Snyderwine kicked field goals covering 46 and 38 yards for the Blue Devils, with the second pulling them to 48-41 with 8:45 remaining. Price then led them on a 13-play, 79-yard drive that chewed up nearly 6 minutes and ended with Devon Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-yard touchdown run. Price and Ted Stachitas were among the leaders in the preseason race

to replace record-setter and graduated four-year starter Riley Skinner. The two shared time in the first half before Stachitas bruised his left (nonthrowing) hand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a troublesome injury for a key member of an offense that runs so many pitches to both sides of the field. Price, who played the entire second half, put the Demon Deacons ahead to stay midway through the third quarter by finding a wide-open Williams streaking down the right sideline from 38 yards out, making it 41-35. Earlier, those two hooked up from 13 yards out during a school-record-tying 28-point second quarter for Wake Forest. Price threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Danny Dembry on the fourth play of the fourth quarter to make it 48-38.

BRIDGE HAND

Harassed worker won’t make waves in tough job market DEAR ABBY: I work six days a week at a minimum-wage job. My boss is constantly finding reasons to hug or touch me. Last week he even tried to kiss me. I left work that night feeling violated and upset. It’s really hard to find jobs right now. I can’t afford to quit or get fired. What do I do to get this man to leave me alone and still keep my job? Please help! — GROSSED OUT IN TEXAS

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Romance is highlighted this year. Your numbers are 6, 14, 20, 23, 28, 35, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t limit what you can do because you are waiting for someone to catch up or get on the same page. Revisit why you think you owe your time, money or effort before you begin to feel used.

enjoy spending time with or visiting an old friend or relative will help you put things in perspective. There is something you can offer that will help pay the bills. 4 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s not all about you or what you want.

Live in the moment where you have some control of the outcome, instead of trying to guess what the future might bring. 2 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can turn a profit if you incorporate what you enjoy doing with the skills you have acquired. A contract with someone will bring about a change in your personal life or your living arrangements. 5 stars Birthday Baby: You are serious-minded, practical and concerned with the wellbeing of family and friends. You are competitive and you work to maintain justice.

DEAR GROSSED OUT: Tell the man you don’t like what he’s doing and to stop it. If he doesn’t, be sure that every incident is documented, including date and time. If the company has a sexual harassment policy, you should follow it or go to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or equivalent state agency office nearest you and file a claim. Your job will be protected during the investigation that will follow. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: My family and I recently spent time with my parents at their home in another state. After we returned, my 10-year-old son and his 14-year-old sister told me they don’t like going to visit them. My mom loves us, but she is a negative and depressed person. She doesn’t love Dad and doesn’t bother to disguise that fact. I mentioned this to a friend and she said I should tell my mother what my son said. She thinks it could make

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Mom “see the light” and change for the better. Considering my mother’s depressed state, should I tell her? — UNDECIDED IN MICHIGAN DEAR UNDECIDED: Perhaps. But if you do, be diplomatic. You might begin by telling her you could see how “down” she was when you all came to visit, and that she could get so much more out of life if she sought professional help for her depression -- specifically some sessions with a licensed counselor. You could also mention that, while your father may not be her favorite person -- it would be better if it was not so obvious to the grandchildren, because they sensed the tension and mentioned it when they returned home. If you broach the subject lovingly, she might listen and take steps to help herself. One thing is certain — if you say nothing, nothing will change.

DEAR ABBY: I have been a social worker in two skilled nursing homes for the past six years. I often hear visitors approach patients with dementia and say, “Do you know who I am?” or “Do you know who this is?” It’s like giving the person with dementia a test, one which the person will often fail. It would be more effective to approach the person and say, “It is so nice to see you. I am (whomever) and knew you (in whatever circumstances).” Persons with dementia do not need to be reminded that they don’t recall something. Most of them know it. Even relatives -- brothers, sisters, sons and daughters -- may need to introduce themselves to their loved ones. Rather than giving the person with dementia a test when you visit, set up the visit to succeed by making simple introductions. Remember, people who have dementia can remember things that happened a long time ago, but they may not recall what happened in the last five minutes. Visitors should talk about the “good old days” and everyone will experience a good visit. — P.B. IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR P.B.: Because increasing numbers of individuals are being diagnosed with dementia, I hope your suggestion will be taken to heart by my readers. In cases like this, the visitor should expect to be the one who guides the conversation. It’s important to keep visits positive, loving and stress-free.

ODDS AND ENDS Armenia produces world’s biggest chocolate bar YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Anyone looking for huge amounts of free chocolate should book a flight to Armenia’s capital next month. That’s when the world’s largest chocolate bar will be up for grabs in Yerevan’s main square. The Guinness Book of World Records certified the 9,702-pound (4,410-kilogram) chocolate bar at a ceremony Saturday. It was made by Grand Candy factory and contains all natural ingredients, including 70 percent cocoa mass. The chocolate bar is 224 inches (560 centimeters) long, 110 inches (275 centimeters) wide and 10 inches (25 centimeters) thick. The factory owner, Karen Vardanyan, said that the chocolate bar was produced to mark the 10th anniversary of the company. He said it will be divided up and handed out Oct. 16.

Georgia pair claims they found tampon in cereal box THOMASTON, Ga. (AP) — An Upson County couple is suing a grocery store chain in federal court, claiming that the husband found a used tampon in his bowl of cereal. According to the complaint, Thomas and Lynn Roddenberry said they bought a box of Chocolate Chip Crunch cereal from the Save-A-Lot store in Thomaston in October 2008. A day after buying the cereal, Thomas Roddenberry said he discovered the tampon in his bowl after taking a bite of the cereal. The man said he spit out the cereal, immediately became nauseated and went to an emergency room. The suit was filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Macon. A spokesman for Save-A-Lot declined to comment on the case on Friday, citing pending litigation.

Push out evil thoughts with truth Q: How do you keep bad thoughts from taking over your mind? I’ll be fine for a while, but then something will trigger my imagination and I’ll start dwelling on things I know I shouldn’t be thinking about. God must be very disappointed in me. How can I break this cycle? — P.L. A: You’ve already taken the first step by admitting you have this problem — and not only admitting it but also realizing it’s wrong and wanting to do something about it. Remember, God is just as concerned about our thoughts as He is about our actions, and He doesn’t want evil thoughts to occupy our minds. One reason God destroyed the world in Noah’s time was because “every inclination of the thoughts of his (man’s) heart was only evil all the time” (Genesis 6:5). Evil thoughts lead to evil deeds — and even when they don’t, they focus our hearts on evil rather than good. How can you conquer bad thoughts, whatever form they take? Begin by turning to God and submitting your whole life -- including your mind -- to Jesus Christ. If you have never done so, confess your sins to Him today, and by faith ask Him to come into your heart. Then fill your mind with God’s truth. In other words, don’t just empty your mind of evil thoughts, but fill it with good thoughts -- in other words, with God’s truth as it is found in the Bible. Make the Bible part of your life every day, and memorize as much of it as you can. Then when evil thoughts come into your mind, immediately turn your attention to God’s promises and His love for you.

New rules would mean fewer hours for sleepy pilots WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Work hours would be shortened for pilots who fly at night while some pilots who fly during the day could spend more time in the cockpit under a government proposal to help prevent dangerous fatigue. The Federal Aviation Administration plan, which the agency has spent 15 months drafting, is an attempt to overhaul pilot work rules to reflect current scientific understanding of how fatigue impacts human performance and prevent errors that cause accidents. The rules were last updated over two decades ago and most date back to the 1940s. The proposal released Friday would bar airlines from scheduling pilots to be on duty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a combination of being at work ready to fly or in the cockpit flying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; longer than 13 hours in a 24hour period, three hours less than current regulations. At night, that limit could slide to as few as nine hours. However, airlines would be allowed to schedule pilots who start their work day between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. for as much as 10 hours of actual flying time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two more hours than currently allowed. Airlines would also have to allow pilots nine hours of rest between work days, an increase of an hour. Pilots have complained that the current

In this Feb. 12, 2009 file photo, a plane burns after it crashed into a house in Clarence Center, N.Y. After a regional airliner crashed in western New York a year and a half ago killing 50 people, Obama administration officials vowed to take swift action to prevent similar tragedies. High on their list: new rules governing the hours pilots may work, to prevent tired flight crews from making fatal errors. eight-hour rest period, which begins as soon as they leave the plane, often means only a few hours sleep. The proposed work rules would apply to all airlines, including cargo carriers and charter airlines. Cargo carriers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially package delivery services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; do much of their flying at night. Charter airlines fly 95 percent of U.S. troops and 40 percent of military cargo around the world. Charter carriers

had urged FAA to maintain current exemptions to pilot work rules for their industries. But FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said at a news conference that troops are as deserving of wellrested pilots as any other airline passenger. The increase in flying times for some pilots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an idea promoted by airlines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; immediately drew opposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Completely unsupported by scientific evaluation,â&#x20AC;? said pilot Jeff

Skiles, the first officer on the US Airways plane that ditched into the Hudson River off New York City after a bird strike last year. The handling of that emergency by Skiles and the flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captain, Chesley â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sullyâ&#x20AC;? Sullenberger, has won praise as a sterling example of professionalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The insidious problem of pilot fatigue cannot be fought by increasing the amount of time pilots fly in the cockpit,â&#x20AC;? said Skiles, who has been

lobbying for stronger safety regulations. To Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the proposal represents â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant improvement in air travel safety.â&#x20AC;? He acknowledged that it took FAA and his department longer to craft the proposal than he would have liked, but he said they are going further than any previous administration to address a long-recognized safety problem. Airline industry trade groups and pilot unions said they were reviewing the proposal. The public has 60 days to respond. The impetus for the changes was the crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 near Buffalo, N.Y., in February 2009 that killed all 49 people aboard and a man on the ground. A National Transportation Safety Board investigation found that both pilots on the flight were probably suffering from fatigue, although that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a direct cause of the accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This action is long overdue,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of the aviation subcommittee, which has held eight hearings on aviation safety since the crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is any doubt that pilot fatigue has played a significant role in fatal airline crashes in recent years.â&#x20AC;? He noted that neither Flight 3407 pilot â&#x20AC;&#x153;slept in a bed the night beforeâ&#x20AC;?

the accident. The first officer, Rebecca Shaw, 24, had traveled all night from Seattle, where she lived, to Newark, N.J., where she was based, to report for work. Captain Marvin Renslow, 47, commuted from Tampa, Fla., three days earlier and spent two of three nights before the flight in a crew lounge where sleeping was discouraged. The FAA proposal doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place any limits on commuting by pilots, but it says commuting time shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be part of rest periods. Airlines and pilot unions both say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to restrict commuting. Experts have told NTSB that fatigue can degrade an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in much the same way as alcohol. Tired pilots sometimes lose â&#x20AC;&#x153;situational awarenessâ&#x20AC;? and respond slowly to events. The current rules donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take into account that it can be more tiring for regional airline pilots to fly five or six short legs in six hours than it is for a pilot with a major airline to fly eight hours across the ocean with only one takeoff and landing. Takeoffs and landings are usually the most strenuous part of flying. The last six fatal airline accidents in the U.S. have involved regional airlines. Pilot performance was cited as factor in four of them.

Google accelerates with ‘instant’ results

Quick Hit football game gets an NFL makeover

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. stepped on its Internet search accelerator Wednesday by adding a feature that displays results as soon as people begin typing their requests. The change, called “Google Instant,” is the closest the 12-year-old company has come yet to realizing its founders’ ambition to build a search engine that reads its users’ minds. The achievement wasn’t lost on Google cofounder Sergey Brin, who jokingly told reporters that the company’s lightning-quick computers are morphing into the “other third” of people’s brains. “I think it’s a little bit of a new dawn in computing,” Brin said Wednesday. The shift means Google users will begin to see an ever-evolving set of search results appearing on their computer screens, potentially changing with each additional character typed. That means a satisfactory set of results could take just one keystroke. As an example, a person who types “w” in Google’s search box could see the weather results in the same area as where the request was entered. Google will also try to predict what a person

really wants by filling out the anticipated search terms in gray letters. Below that, in a drop-down box, Google will still offer other suggested search requests, as the site has been offering for the past two years. The feature will be gradually rolled out throughout the U.S. this week and will be offered in other parts of the world later this year.

Sanford, NC (behind Angie’s Breakfast Barn)

SEATTLE (AP) — Thursday marks the kickoff of the 2010 NFL season, and along with it, a renewed interest in fantasy leagues and video games that let Monday-morning quarterbacks feel as if they’re part of the action. The perennial champ of the genre, Electronic Arts Inc.’s “Madden,” has already made its debut this year as a free Facebook application. An underdog contender, Quick Hit Inc., has joined the fray with “Quick Hit NFL Football.” It lets players pick an NFL team and coach it through the season. Quick Hit’s game came out in beta test form last October, but without the official NFL teams, logos, uniforms and other touches. By January it had racked up 1 million users; the company will only say players now number “in the millions.” Both “Quick Hit NFL Football,” a standalone game played in a Web browser, and “Madden NFL Superstars,” the Facebook game from EA, are part of a growing trend of online games that are free to play but sell extra, optional items

for small amounts of money. Quick Hit’s updated game brings color commentary from former longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, plus the ability to pay a few bucks extra to snag famous players or playbook additions. There are only five current NFL players available to add to rosters, the most Quick Hit could include based on its licensing agreements. People can choose among more than 100 past “legends” to round out their teams. For people willing to pay for a “pro” membership — $5.99 per month, $29.99 for six months or $47.99 for a year — Quick Hit’s updated game also adds such perks as new “camera angles” to give the game a more three-dimensional feel. The free version only offers a bird’s eye view of the field. In addition to its browser-based game, Quick Hit said it’s working on a Facebook version, which should be available sometime this year.

search requests while Microsoft and Yahoo handle most of the rest. Google rose to popularity mainly because it focused on delivering search results within a few seconds. But Brin and the company’s other founder, Larry Page, have perpetually pushed Google’s engineers to make the search engine even faster. By speeding up its search results, Google believes it will keep its users happier and possibly encourage people to make even more requests. That’s important to Google because each query presents another opportunity to present another one of the ads that generate most of the company’s nearly $30 billion in annual revenue. As part of its quest to speed things up, Google figured out that the average search request takes nine seconds to type and then users spend an average of 15 seconds to decide which result to pick. With the new instant feature, Google expects to reduce the time spent on search by two to five seconds per request, collectively saving its more than 1 billion weekly users about 350 million hours annually.

violent or hateful. That restriction may trigger complaints that Google is stifling freedom of expression or unfairly screening out some sites that were improperly blacklisted. Because Google’s search formula draws heavily upon common search requests, the instant results also could be biased toward featuring major brands and companies during the first few characters of a request. That factor conceivably could hurt smaller merchants if people stop typing after the first few keystrokes and accept the results that show up the most quickly. Despite those potential pitfalls, Google search executive Marissa Mayer hailed the instant search breakthrough as a quantum leap akin to Bob Dylan’s switch from an acoustic to electric guitar in 1965. “It’s a fundamental shift to search and how people think of search,” she said. If nothing else, Google is hoping that the innovation will help it to maintain its dominance of the lucrative search market as rivals Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp. team up to mount a more formidable challenge. Currently, Google processes about two-thirds of Internet

10B / Sunday, September 12, 2010 / The Sanford Herald TRAVEL BRIEFS Shrek in Spain? Paramount backs theme park plan

MADRID (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. film company Paramount says it is teaming up with officials to develop a branded theme park in the Murcia region on Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mediterranean coast. Paramount Licensing, which issues permits for the use of Paramountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual property rights, says the company will not invest money in the project but has agreed to provide its products and help with the design. The company said in a statement Friday it was drawn to Murcia by the enthusiasm of local officials for the project and the growing number of international visitors to the area. The statement gave no details of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated cost nor potential investors. Company officials were not immediately available for comment.

Greenbrier brings back W.Va.-Va room rate tribute

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Greenbrier resort says it will bring back its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tribute to the Virginiasâ&#x20AC;? discounted room rate pack-

age this winter. During December, January, February and March, guests can book a midweek stay starting at $59 a night. Weekend stays start at $109. Rooms at the four-star southeastern West Virginia resort normally start at around $275. Greenbrier owner Jim Justice says the package was brought back as a way of saying thanks for making his first year of ownership a success. Justice purchased the historic resort out of bankruptcy in May of 2009. Since then he won approval for and built a casino on the grounds, and hosted a PGA-tour event in July. The resort will begin accepting reservations for the tribute package Saturday.

DOT plans rejection of Delta-Virgin Blue alliance MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plans by Delta Air Lines Inc. and affiliates of Virgin Blue Group to collaborate on flights between the U.S. and Australia suffered a setback on Wednesday, with the U.S. Transportation Department saying it expects to deny their request.

Delta currently flies only between Sydney and Los Angeles. UAL Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Airlines and Australian carrier Qantas currently dominate the flight schedule between the two countries. Delta and Australian budget airline Virgin Blue wanted permission to coordinate fares and schedules, and to share money from the flights. Usually, antitrust laws would block that kind of collaboration, but airlines can get permission in some cases for joint ventures if they can show that consumers will benefit. Australian authorities approved the proposal in December.

Cruise West: 65 layoffs, world cruise halted SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Seattlebased cruise line known for its Alaska voyages is laying off 65 employees and has halted new bookings and ended a world cruise. The Washington state Employment Security Department has received the legally required layoff notification. The department says Cruise West laid off 24 employees Wednesday and another 41 are to be laid off starting Friday. The Seattle Times says Cruise West terminated a world cruise aboard its Spirit of Oceanus earlier this week in Newfoundland, Canada. As of Thursday, the company website contains just a short statement about what it calls its restructuring efforts. It notes it has stopped accepting new bookings.

The cruise line says it plans to operate some cruises through October, including departures from Seattle and Portland, Ore. Cruise West says it will also complete cruises or land tours already under way in Alaska. The statement says Cruise West will not respond to any media inquiries.

New Hampshire releases 1st foliage report of the season CONCORD, N.H.

Spots of color are reported near ponds, rivers and waterways in the White Mountains region. Birch trees are showing slight tinges of yellow in Franconia Notch. Some very faint and early color can be seen along ponds and waterways in the Monadnock Region.

enforcement of drunken driving laws. The Transportation Department said Thursday that traffic deaths fell 9.7 percent in 2009 to 33,808, the lowest number since 1950. In 2008, an estimated 37,423 people died on the highways. Government and auto safety experts attributed the improvement to more people buckling up, side air bags and anti-rollover technology in more vehicles and a focus in many states on curbing drinking and driving. Economic conditions were also a factor. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called the new data â&#x20AC;&#x153;a landmark achievement for public health and safetyâ&#x20AC;? but cautioned that too many people are killed on the road each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have a long distance yet to travel.â&#x20AC;?

Tourist crowds threaten Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sistine Chapel VATICAN CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Vatican Museums chief has warned that dust and polluting agents brought into the Sistine Chapel by thousands of tourists every day risk one day endangering the chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpieces by Michelangelo. Vatican Museums chief Antonio Paolucci told the newspaper La Repubblica that in order to preserve Michelangeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Judgment and the other treasures in the Sistine Chapel, new tools to control temperature and humidity must be studied and implemented. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people a day visit the Sistine Chapel, or some 4 million a year. Paolucci was quoted Thursday as saying that such a crowd â&#x20AC;&#x153;emanates

sweat, breath, carbon dioxide, all sorts of dust.â&#x20AC;? Paolucci said better tools were necessary to avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious damageâ&#x20AC;? to the chapel in the future.

Yellowstone breaks record for summer visitors at 2.5M CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This species in Yellowstone National Park is appearing in greater numbers than ever before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people. More than 2.5 million of them visited the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first national park over the June, July and August summer season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up by more than 200,000 compared with summer 2009, putting Yellowstone on track to set another attendance record. Nearly 3.3 million people visited during all of 2009, topping the previous record set in 2007 by nearly 5 percent. Marketing by the state tourism offices in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho probably is boosting Yellowstone tourism, park spokesman Al Nash said. The weak economy might also be helping by encouraging cheap vacations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visiting your national parks is a good value,â&#x20AC;? Nash said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you can sort of adjust the length and the type of your trip to fit your schedule and your wallet more than you can other visitor destinations.â&#x20AC;? On the other hand, more people can mean longer lines at park entrance stations, restaurants and gift shop cash registers, Nash said, along with more traffic jams where people stop to gawk at roadside wildlife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you came to the park and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in a wildlife jam at some point, your trip probably was unusual,â&#x20AC;? Nash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if you were in a wildlife jam, it probably lasted longer than you might have experienced in previous years.â&#x20AC;?

Mulligan for Roth IRA conversions

f you have a high income, you’ve probably been particularly frustrated that your earnings level meant you couldn’t put money in a Roth IRA, which has some fabulous perks. Go to any retirement savings seminar and you’ll find a Roth individual retirement account is all the rage because, unlike a traditional retirement account, there is no minimum withdrawal requirement at age 70 1/2. And best of all, because Roth IRA contributions are taxed going in, withdrawals are not taxed coming out (as long as you meet certain holding requirements). But earn too much and you are shut out from contributing to a Roth. This year, a back door to Roth investing was opened for high earners. As of Jan. 1, there will be no income limits for investors who want to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. It used to be that only taxpayers with modified gross incomes of $100,000 or less were allowed to convert. Please be clear on this. Although the conversion rules have been relaxed, there is still an income-eligibility limit on contributions to a Roth IRA. If you do go for a conversion, you will have to pay income taxes on the

FAIR WEATHER BUSINESS Businesses considering Eastern North Carolina as a home must also consider the elements By WAYNE FAULKNER StarNews of Wilmington

WILMINGTON (AP) — When hurricanes and tropical storms hit the North Carolina coast, it can give pause to residents and also to those considering moving close to the ocean. But does it do the same thing to businesses? Coastal geography “is always a consideration for any site,” said Mike Mullis, who owns the J.M. Mullis site selection business based in Memphis. Verizon Wireless was no exception when it eyed bringing a call center to Wilmington. “This was a point we took into consideration when making our selection of the Wilmington area, which led us to ensure we have back-ups and redundancies,” said Tony Garcia, associate director of business service center operations in Wilmington. “We do this for all our buildings whether in hurricane, earthquake, snowstorm and other areas. “We reviewed historical data on occurrences, impact, cost, etc., that ultimately brought balance to the other factors for choosing this area,” he said. Being on a storm-vulnerable coast is almost never the

lone deciding factor when businesses consider locating an operation, Mullis said. “At the same time, there are many reasons projects are on the coast, to be next to port access,” he said. Wilmington has its share of business heavyweights — GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, PPD Inc. and Verizon, for example — that have not only located here but have expanded and plan further expansion. Such firms have elaborate emergency plans to keep their businesses and facilities operating through a hurricane. GE has operated here for more than 40 years and shows that complicated business operations can rebound from a hurricane. GEH “has a preparation procedure that evaluates storm conditions with respect to strength and direction, and we then implement accordingly,” said Lori Butler, general manager of environment, health and safety at GEH. “This procedure includes preparing personnel and the site based on storm conditions,” she said When locating on the coast, Mullis said, “You simply design your facilities (for storm resistance) and put in precautionary measures.” “We have projects going on in Miami,” he continued. “We

take double protections one facility within another.” That kind of built-in protection is needed, for instance, for a food service center, Mullis said. “You hope that the food will be clean and fresh.” Extra protections also are needed for a customer support center, he said, citing Verizon’s call center at Independence and Shipyard boulevards. Verizon’s Garcia said its building on Shipyard Boulevard is heavily fortified. In addition, he said, “We have a stand-alone generator capable of supplying full power to our building. We have routing capabilities and redundancy built in, and our customers would be serviced by our network of call centers located throughout the country.” Sometimes it’s not the reality of tropical storms but the perception of them that influences a company’s decision to locate in Southeastern North Carolina or other coastal areas. “With companies moving here, it’s the fear and perception that it could completely cripple your business,” said Jonathan Rowe, director of the Entrepreneurship Center at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. “That perception

Signs of recovery start to creep in

conomic recovery is a much discussed topic lately. This week brought news that first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week to a two-month low. Our country’s trade deficit also narrowed sharply in July, dropping over 14 percent, bringing hopeful signs for the future. A shrinking trade deficit means we’re selling more goods abroad — very good news for U.S. manufacturing. Our local Employment

Security Commission office currently lists over 60 jobs, many of which are in manufacturing settings. Small business is also beginning to recover and make new investment. According to the SBA’s fourth annual small busi-

ness scorecard, small employers got a record number of federal contract dollars in 2009. Some $97 billion or nearly 22 percent of prime federal contracts awarded between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009, went to small businesses.

is one of the top issues. “The threat to data is a concern on the coast,” he said, “but many companies store their data at servers away from the coast. “Nowadays, with the fact that you can keep a lot of data off site, hurricanes become less relevant, more of a perception thing than reality-based,” Rowe said. Even though one negative of residing along the coast is the rising cost of homeowners insurance, the insurance cost to businesses “doesn’t come up as much as you’d think,” Rowe said. Whether a company actually has inventory on site is a factor in coastal locations, Rowe said. Companies with inventory on site feel the most insurance pain. If inventory is destroyed, especially for small businesses like shops, “it can ruin the business. “In most cases the insurance is going to be higher. For those businesses, that can be a big consideration in coming here.”

One of our local companies and Chamber member, Red Wolf Co.

This certification allows Red Wolf to qualify for governmental contracts under affirmative action guidelines encouraging the use of minority- and womenowned businesses. Many private companies also consider women-owned companies for contracts as part of their effort to foster diversity among vendors. President of Red Wolf, Kim Sutton, reported that “along with our quality certification, it provides important information and value for companies looking for the wide range of manufacturing services we provide.” Last summer, Red Wolf received

pretax contributions and earnings that are converted. The amount of tax you pay is based on your current tax bracket, but that’s the trade-off for tax-free withdrawals later in retirement (contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible). You can convert part or all of the money you’ve put in a traditional IRA. (Get advice from a tax professional about when the taxes are due). But what if you’ve converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth and then the value of your investments drops? Considering

the year we’ve had in the stock market, that’s a great possibility. You might be saying to yourself, “Oh shoot. If I had only waited I would have paid less taxes on the conversion.” Well, in the Roth conversion world, you have an opportunity to undo what you did. Call it a Roth Mulligan. This redo, or recharacterization, allows an investor to reverse amounts converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. But there’s a deadline for this action. You have until Oct. 15 of the year following a conversion to recharacterize. Fidelity Investments released survey results recently that found only about a third of

investors who are eligible for a Roth IRA recharacterization are aware they can undo the conversion. It didn’t surprise me that people aren’t aware of this option. Heck, it’s difficult enough keeping track of the basics of investing in a traditional IRA or Roth. My head hurts trying to figure this all out. At any rate, Fidelity has put on its website (www. fidelity.com/rothconversion) a very helpful article that lists some reasons why you might consider a Roth Mulligan. For example, your taxable income in retirement might have dropped this year or you find that you can’t pay the taxes from the Roth conversion.

more value and convenience for customers. She acknowledged that the process of certification was rigorous. Evaluators conducted an in-depth analysis and on-site inspections. “Our manufacturing expertise, material management capabilities and quality reputation set us apart from our competition,” Sutton says. “We already work with companies representing a range of industries, including power generation, security equipment, automation, consumer products and green energy,” says Sutton. “We hope the latest certification will make Red Wolf even more attractive to companies in these industries — and to companies in other industries, as well.” Lee County has active, entrepreneurial business people.

Converting to a Roth may seem like a slam-dunk but it’s not. There are pros and cons. Here are some things to consider before converting, according to Fidelity: ❏ Do you expect to pay higher taxes in the future? OK, this is difficult to predict.

sion might be the smart thing to do. ❏ Do you have a long time before you retire? The longer you have for converted Roth funds to grow, the higher your tax savings. ❏ Do you have the money to pay the taxes? If you must use funds from the traditional IRA to pay the taxes for the conversion, it may not be worth it because you’ll have less money that can grow tax-free. To help with this decision, use an online conversion calculator. I liked the Roth IRA Conversion Calculator by Charles Schwab, which gives you a detailed analysis of the results. There is also a huge advantage to doing a conversion this year because any taxes that are required can be stretched in equal amounts on your returns for 2011 and 2012. I’d say good luck with your decision. But mostly, you’ll need perseverance because there’s a lot to research and consider.

When you were in school, you had to concentrate on your studies. When you began your career, you had to concentrate on your work. In fact, in just about every endeavor in life, concentration is essential for success. However, as an investor, you may ﬁnd that you actually don’t want to concentrate too much. That’s not to say you shouldn’t concentrate on your investment decisions — you should. But if you concentrate too much money in one investment, or one type of investment, you could run into problems. Suppose, for example, that your portfolio is almost entirely devoted to growth stocks. During a good economy, growth stocks generally tend to do well, so if we’re enjoying a period of sustained growth, your portfolio might show some good returns. But if the economy slumps while you own only growth stocks, you could sustain losses that may take a long time from which to recover. On the other hand, if you over-concentrate on ﬁxed-income investments, such as bonds, your principal value might increase when interest rates are falling (as interest rates and bond prices are inversely related), but when interest rates rise, your bond portfolio will likely lose principal value.

To help avoid the problems of overconcentration, it’s important to own a range of investments, which may include stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit (CDs). While this type of diversification cannot, by itself, guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. Of course, how you choose to allocate your assets will depend on a variety of factors, including the following: s Your goals — Your ultimate objectives should help govern your investment strategy. If you are planning to retire early and then start a new business, you may need to invest more aggressively than, say, your neighbor, who wants to work as long as possible and then stay close to home, pursuing inexpensive hobbies. s Your risk tolerance — Just as we all have different personalities, we have different tolerances for investment risk. If you can assume greater risk in

exchange for potentially higher returns, you may be a more aggressive investor. Conversely, if you’re willing to take lower returns as a trade-off for greater protection of your principal, you’re probably a more conservative investor. However, to achieve your goals, you may consider moving outside your investment “comfort zone” from time to time. s Your time horizon — Your stage of life will also affect your investment choices. If you are just starting your career, you can probably afford to invest more aggressively than if you are nearing retirement, at which time you may want to cut down on risks. To build a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you may want to work with a professional financial advisor — someone who can assess your situation and recommend choices that are appropriate for your needs. By concentrating on a unified investment strategy — instead of overconcentrating on a specific type of investment — you can focus on where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.

SPOTLIGHT: THE FLAME

The Flame still burns D.E. Parkerson The Paper Pulpit Del Parkerson is a retired pastor of First Baptist Church. Contact him at dparkerson@ec.rr.com.

Pigs can’t fly, but people can

n October 30, 2000, the Chicago Sun Times carried the story of a pig that traveled on a six-hour US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Seattle. And he didn’t ride coach, either. Two passengers convinced the airline representative that the pig was a “therapeutic companion pet” — in other words, like a seeing-eye dog — so the pig was permitted to sit with them in the first-class cabin of the airplane. Passengers on the flight described the 300-pound animal as “enormous, brown, angry, and honking.” The pig was seated with his companions in three seats near the front of the plane. Trouble did not begin until the flight attendants tried to snap the pig into the three seats for the takeoff. According to eyewitnesses, the pig “became restless after the plane was in the air and sauntered through the cabin.” One passenger complained, “He kept rubbing his nose on

Former Sanford City Councilman Steve Brewer and his wife Kathy have owned The Flame for 15 years. This month, the restaurant itself will turn 37.

Running one of Sanford’s oldest restaurants a family affair By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

ven in tough economic times, The Flame Steakhouse maintains a festive atmosphere. “We tend to be celebrating something all the time,” said owner Steve Brewer. “There’s always something going on.” This month, The Flame is celebrating its 37th anniversary. Brewer and his wife, Kathy, have owned the Carbonton Road restaurant for 15 years. Before buying the steakhouse from Pokey Fulton in 1995, Steve was employed with wholesale distributor J.T. Davenport and Sons while his wife was working for the Meat and Cleaver restaurant. “I had worked [at The Flame] when I was 12 busing tables,” Brewer said, “and my wife had

been in the restaurant business most of her life.” When he worked at the steakhouse as an adolescent, it was a cafeteria-style lunch spot by day and a traditional steakhouse by night. Fulton also owned the Dairy Barn next door, which is now owned by his daughter, Kathy Freedle. The Flame boasts a storied history, according to Brewer, and has continually changed to meet the community’s needs. In 1979, the steakhouse was among the first restaurants in North Carolina to serve liquor by the drink. It was also one of the first establishments in Sanford to offer banquet facilities. For at least 25 years, the Sanford Rotary Club has met at The Flame. As a gathering place, said club vice president Alan Dossenbach, “it has always worked well.” “We’ve got a good relationship

with Steve and The Flame,” Dossenbach said. “It’s set up nicely. ... I enjoy the food; they’ve got a good variety — what more can you ask for?” Under the Brewers’ ownership, The Flame has become a true family affair. Their son Matthew assists with grilling and prep work in the kitchen while another son, Daniel Arnold, has helped manage the steakhouse and its catering service. Son Stephen works both in the kitchen and on the floor. “The best part of owning this restaurant is that I’ve had the chance to go to work with my wife and children,” Brewer said. The children have become even more involved since Kathy was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Arnold, who has stepped into his mother’s role at the steakhouse, said, “It has brought our family a lot closer.”

Five years ago, Kathy was responsible for introducing a “bra line” at the restaurant’s bar. The tradition will return this October for breast cancer awareness month. According to Arnold, women hang their bras on a clothesline in exchange for donations, which are matched by the restaurant. The fundraiser can bring in as much as $2,000. “It can really raise a lot of money,” Arnold said, “and it’s always and eyebrow raiser.” Approximately 15 people, including Flame staff and customers, joined Team Kathy this year in Raleigh for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in June — which Arnold said raised about $2,000. On Nov. 5, he and other men will don wigs and heels for the

Churches play big role in local philanthropy

ere’s a short quiz. I’ll say a word and you see what image pops immediately to mind. Ready? Here we go. Philanthropy. If you’re like many people, you probably caught a glimpse of some large organization. Groups like the United Way or American Red Cross. Maybe some local nonprofit like the Coalition for Families. Perhaps even a governmental agency providing social services. We seem to be conditioned to think about large organizations first, often for good reasons. Many of them are highly visible, generating a lot of attention. They rally volunteers and do good

The fruit of daddy’s labor

ENGAGEMENTS ...............Page 3C Harrelson — Beachum Hobbs — James McLean — McLean

rowing up on the Lett family farm I learned from Mama and Daddy (Ruby and Bud Lett) that work was considered a top priority through the generations. I was prone to day-dreaming so I resisted the daily chores and hard labor required to raise animals, grow produce, and harvest crops. I liked to take breaks during tasks like planting tobacco, pulling weeds, or gathering corn and learned to banter with the folks who taunted me about being lazy. As a teenager I’d quip: “I ain’t lazy ... I just ain’t found a suitable occupation yet.” When enticed with the idea that if we could get the tobacco out of the field and in the barn by noon, we could gorge on a big meal, take a nap, and watch “The Guiding Light,” I would work my fingers to the bone. Musings of such rewards inspired me to help accomplish the family’s morning goals on the farm. As the summer heat lost its fire in late afternoon Mama, Daddy, and we “young’uns” headed for the garden or fields for more chores. Before dark we might take cured tobacco leaves out of the barn and put them in the pack house for later grading, tying and preparing for market. Daddy especially enjoyed growing tobacco, nurturing it from the seed he placed in the plant bed in January to the cured leaves he took to market in late summer and early

fall. He found pleasure in growing vegetables and fruits, treating each bean from the garden or berry from a bush like a gem from a mine. The fruits of Daddy’s labor provided blessings for many people. His watermelon crop was a spiritual ministry ... nothing delighted him more than filling my car with red and yellow varieties for me to distribute to friends. Every recipient agreed that his melons tasted better than others because he had imparted love in every one. Meanwhile, Daddy planted apple, peach, pear, and pecan trees and blueberry bushes so he could observe their development and yield and have more treasures to

HEADACHES

The sentiment Joyce shares is what I hear from church members all over the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People may not know about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toot our horn or say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;look at us,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says with humility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do it because we love people and love the Lord.â&#x20AC;? As the United Way continues its fall campaign, please do make a contribution, because that money helps more than two dozen community-based organizations take care of our neighbors in need, many who might otherwise fall through the cracks. And definitely do what you can to support large ministries like the Christians United Outreach Center, which began as an outreach of Jonesboro United Methodist Church and expanded quickly when other churches joined the effort. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever forget the less-obvious examples of philanthropy taking place in coat closets and fellowship halls throughout the area. Clearly, the ministry of individual churches, large and small, are meeting important needs, and the work done by thousands of unseen volunteers helps define us as a compassionate community.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;LOOK TOO FAMILIAR?â&#x20AC;?

Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time. After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;crimpingâ&#x20AC;? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned. Ammons Chiropractic personnel are consummate professionals, careful, methodical, gentle and absolutely committed to seeking solutions. Judith Edmonds Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions.

work in the community. The good ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there are many of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should be celebrated and supported because they make us all stronger. What we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is lose sight of another less-visible center of compassion: Churches meeting in every corner of our community that take care of members when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing tough times and reach out beyond their own walls to serve others. Nobody knows for sure how many churches fill the American landscape. The Hartford Institute for Religion Research, operating out of the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut, places the number of religious congregations somewhere around 335,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; counting Christian and non-Christian groups â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reasonable assumption that the vast majority (if not just about all of them) offers some form of philanthropic assistance. Philanthropy, after all, simply means an altruistic concern for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well being, usually demonstrated by donating money or work to help. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been part of our history, from obvious examples like The Salvation Army to institutions like our earliest colleges and hospitals, which were usually established by denominations. Examples abound in our own community. Consider just one: the Outreach of Love ministry at Hillview Christian Assembly. Joyce Barbour has

spent more than 20 years distributing food at a pantry operated by the small church. She and a small group of seven or eight volunteers work regularly and faithfully without any fanfare at all. In fact, the majority of people in our area may not know the ministry exists at all. Outreach of Love isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a food pantry. In the past, the church members have collected and distributed winter coats for children and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably best known for serving Thanksgiving dinner to anyone who needs food and wants to attend. Joyce says the dinner started as a small affair, but has grown over the years to serve 300 people. It has become so popular that the dinner required a venue change several years ago, moving from Hillview Christian Assembly to Shallow Well United Church of Christ, where members of that congregation eagerly joined the effort, too. The point isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily about Hillview Christian Assembly, because the same thing is happening at churches all around us. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is that philanthropy is taking place everywhere, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually draw attention.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Heart Menderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;overwhelminglyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; powerful story

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heart Mender.â&#x20AC;? (Thomas Nelson, 2010. 239 pages. $19.99. By Andy Andrews.)

was straightening shelves at the Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shop one Saturday when I stumbled across â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heart Menderâ&#x20AC;? in the Christian Living section of the store. It initially caught my attention because it looked like it belonged in the Fiction area; I was about to restore it to its appropriate place, when I realized it was not fiction, but based on true events and categorized as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Self-Helpâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inspirational.â&#x20AC;? Intrigued, I opened the cover, read the description on the inside, and was drawn to the story at first glance. Andy Andrews, a New York Times best-selling author, wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heart Menderâ&#x20AC;? (which was previously published under another title in 2005) after unearthing a can full of photographs and German military regalia from World War II that had been buried under a tree in his back yard. After the discovery,

Andrews began researching why German soldiers would have been anywhere near his home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is on the Gulf Coast in Alabama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during the war. Through his research and interviews with older residents of the area, Andrews begins to piece together a puzzle that involves a specific branch of the German Navy, a hidden conspiracy, and a young woman who risks everything to save her enemy. Though the story is framed by An-

CCH HEALTH

drewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s description of his initial discovery and research, and the final interview, which sheds light on many unanswered questions, the bulk of the book is Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of the events that occurred in 1942. While keeping his portrayal historically accurate, he has changed names and details to protect the identities of the people involved, several of whom are still living. Like Andrews, I had no idea there were German forces so close to this part of the United States during the war; the historical facts and accounts in the book were very enlightening and revealed that in the summer of 1942, German submarines were sent to the Gulf of Mexico to sink American ships that were carrying supplies for the war. Among those subs was the U-166, whose commander was Hans Gunther Kuhlmann, a German Naval officer who did not support Hitler or the Nazi Party; he worked with his best friend and Under-Lieutenant Josef Bartels Landermann to uphold the integrity and prin-

ciples of the German Navy, even if they were contrary to those of the Nazis who now had control of the Naval forces. Parallel to the lives of the German officers aboard the U-166, we also have the story of Helen Mason, a bitter young widow whose husband was killed in the war and the Gilbert family, who, despite a mountain of pain and difficulty, were striving to live happy lives in the midst of the tumultuous war-time atmosphere. Andrews does a wonderful job of portraying the ceremony and rigidity of the naval officers alongside the suspicion and resentment of the residents of the small coastal town that was heavily impacted by the arrival of the German subs. The story that unfolds is one of betrayal, defeat, love and redemption, and provides readers with the inspiration to forgive and begin afresh after devastating loss. I was overwhelmed at the power of this story. It is truly a testament to what God can do through people who are willing to let go of deep mistrust and bitterness and learn to love again.

DUSTINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OFF A BOOK

Learn how to manage your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gone With the Windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (novel) diabetes and still enjoy life delves deeper into politics Central Carolina Hospital

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes, you may feel as though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking a tightrope, cautiously balancing new medications, a healthy diet and physical activity. But by maintaining close-to-normal bloodglucose level, you can dramatically lessen your risk for common complications such as kidney, eye and heart disease. William Hall, MD, a Sanfordbased family medicine physician and Hall a diabetic himself, answers a few commonly asked questions for patients looking for a way to balance their lives:

hy are some people with diabetes treated with oral medication while others take insulin injections? Oral medication is used to control blood-glucose levels by balancing existing insulin; insulin injections supply the actual hormone to the body. Since Type 1 diabetics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce insulin, those patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; treatment plan will include the insulin injection. For some Type 2 diabetics, insulin injections may

be prescribed along with a combination of with medication, nutrition, and exercise.

an I still eat my favorite foods? Yes, but only in moderation. When you are diagnosed with diabetes, you will have to learn which foods affect your blood sugar. Obviously, a big piece of cake will elevate your sugar, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you can never eat it again. If you are going to eat something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not diabetes-friendly, balance it with the rest of the meal. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat your cake with a helping of fried foods, sweets, and breads at the same meal. Cut down on these foods to allow for a small piece of cake. Portion and frequency are vital on the occasion you decide to eat foods that are off your meal plan. A registered dietitian can teach you what true portion sizes are for different foods. And balance your meals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eating a healthy balanced diet means including fresh vegetables, whole grains, and fruits while reducing fats and cholesterol. Obesity and diabetes are a dangerous combination. And obesity is a risk factor for both diabetes and heart disease. If you are overweight and have diabetes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re increasing your chances even

more for heart disease. But obesity is a controllable risk factor. Those who are overweight will need to reduce to an appropriate weight for their body type.

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercised in years. Will I have to exercise now? Absolutely. If your overweight or not, exercise is important to keep your circulation going, keep your organs healthy, maintain a proper weight, and help relieve stress. But, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll first need to discuss with your physician which activities and exercises are appropriate for you. Your physician may even prescribe physical therapy. When you begin an exercise program, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to learn your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to activity by carefully monitoring your blood -glucose levels so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a hypoglycemia reaction. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo it, and keep some healthy snacks and water available while working out. Listen to your physician and follow his or her instructions. Diabetes is not something to ignore. As you age, your body will change, so what works for you now, may not be as effective 10 years later. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a progressive disease, and treatment plans may change over time, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be monitored for your condition for the remainder of your life. But the good news is that people with diabetes can live a normal life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dancing, walking, running, swimming. The goal is to get your glucose level under control as quickly as possible, and keep it under

ith so many reviews, discussion sites, a movie and a sequel devoted to this classic you may wonder what more I can contribute to the understanding and appreciation for this novel. First I will tell you that if you only know the story based on watching the film, then you only know half the story. Much of the novel takes place after the end of the war during Reconstruction. It is during this period that the conflict between the main characters escalates. Scarlet is willing to sell herself to Rhett for $300 yet instead she betrays her sister by marrying her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠ. Meanwhile Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s politicians and landowners betray each other in an effort to, at first to survive, and later to thrive. Curiously this is foretold and accepted by

Rhett when he explains to Scarlet that people make money when civilizations are created and some make money when civilizations fall. As a backdrop to the struggles of the main characters, author Margaret Mitchell takes her time explaining the disastrous federal Reconstruction policy designed to punish the south. Time and again, Mitchell points out the northern do-gooders who know better. It is this theme that is timely today. Washington, D.C., even today, is filled with elite do-gooders who have it all figured out for the rest of us. We just need give in or become more enlightened like them. Like the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carpetbaggers, scalawags and profiteers, the current Washington elites pick their winners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unions, mortgage holders, bankers, insurance companies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because they know better than the common folk about what needs to be done. Those who made bad home loans get a pass, while others

who made their payment faithfully pay the bill. Reconstruction levied burdensome taxes on some, but not others. It froze wages at levels that made economic growth all but impossible. We are seeing the same thing today among private and public unions. In 1937, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone with the Windâ&#x20AC;? won the Pulitzer Prize. Was the irony lost on anyone that at the same time, during the Great Depression, America would fall into a recession as a result of the misguided economic policies of the progressive elite who had, like Reconstructionists of 1865, frozen prices and wages and dictated production levels? By 1938, the United States, in the middle of the Great Depression went into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;double dipâ&#x20AC;? recession, the same thing being reported today on the news.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Martha Lucas and the invocation was given by Jimmy Tucker. The project fund tickets were sold by Robert Gray and Sally Porter was the winner. Twelve happy dollars came from the following 12 members: Porter, Nancy Watkins, Drew Lucas, Ron Minter, Christy Spell, Matt Jackson, Dal Langston, R.V.

back Hal Evans who has been on hiatus. Since Cliff Peake had already met all his deductibles for the year with his upcoming surgery, he decided to let someone else win the raffle for a change — and lo and behold, Hal was the lucky winner. The total was $69, which Hal graciously gave back. Tje program was the club’s very own Bud Marchant, who gave his annual report on CCCC. Ralph Upton helped Bud set up the PowerPoint. OOPS Bud forgot he had the program so scratch the power point. So Bud, who brought no notes or PowerPoint, had to wing it. Bud reported that enrollment was up on all three campuses. Some classes that used to be popular have now become popular again and have waiting lists. They are Auto Tech., Machine Tech., and Engineering Tech. For students in those programs they get jobs as soon as they graduate. Bud reported on the Green program in Chatham County and how it has taken off. They just completed a new green building utilizing many of the programs that are taught there. Keeping with the “green” theme the John Deere lawn tractor was not moved to the roof. Instead they will mow the roof with a manual reel mower. At the Harnett County campus a new Medical Training Building is going up next to the new Hospital that is being built. He also reported that there will be a new building constructed at the Lee County campus in the next couple of years. In an interesting fact Bud said that CCCC awards 350-450 GED’s a year. He also said that 22 percent of the students participate in Distance Education now.

share with others. Mama perfected her culinary concoctions by standing over a hot stove daily so that Daddy, family, and friends could relish the many delicious delights from her kitchen. Just as the tobacco crop peaked so did the garden and the whole family pitched in to pick tomatoes, shell peas, snap beans, shuck corn, and help Mama with canning and freezing fruits and vegetables. Throughout the year Mama sewed dresses and made quilts and pillows that brought fashion and beauty to many lives. She volunteered her time and talents to the family, community, school, and church without hesitation. She loved to â&#x20AC;&#x153;work with figuresâ&#x20AC;? and demonstrated her financial

ability by balancing the books for the Lett farm and the church. When Daddy dug his fingers deep into the soil he seemed to gather energy from Mother Earth. Like a prince on the palace grounds Daddy admired the fields plush with rows of green. Daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of the land nourished his soul. On the Lett farm he found his kingdom. When Mama cooked in the kitchen she reigned like a queen of dining. In Rubyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant she was the chef and the hostess and excitedly fed her guests joy and contentment as well as delicious delights. Her rewarded was the prevalent gathering of happy folks at her eating table. Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food fixinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden pickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were always greeted with appreciation and praise because they featured a flavor and an aroma that went beyond all expectations. Through their love of labor Mama and Daddy experi-

enced lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful secret. I feel fortunate from being around them, each working to his or her heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. After experimenting with various forms of communications and finally finding my niche as a freelance writer I discovered that expressing oneself is a holy activity. Eventually I realized that creativity does not require glamorous settings or demand big bucks to thrive. I have needed only to believe that I had something special to say. Recently I have been speaking to audiences about pursuing their passion and being willing to take risks to follow their bliss and find their purpose in life. People who honor the yearnings of their heart usually consider their work as their play. To enjoy our labor is a present we give ourselves. To appreciate our work is a gift to others and to God.

peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs trying to get them to give him food.â&#x20AC;? When the plane landed in Seattle things only got worse. The pig ran up and down through economy class squealing.â&#x20AC;? Many passengers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also squealing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stood in their seats. It took four attendants to escort the pig off the airplane. When he reached the terminal he escaped, but was later recaptured. When asked to comment on the story, US Airways spokesman David Castelveter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can confirm that the pig traveled, and we can confirm that it will never happen again.â&#x20AC;? He should have known that you can spend countless hours trying to train a pig, spray cologne on him, and make him a pet, but if you turn him loose on a hot day anywhere near a mud puddle he will go straight to it and wallow in it. Pigs act the way they do because of their nature. It is also why human beings act the way we do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we have a sinful nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of Godâ&#x20AC;? (Romans 3:23).

Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This business really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter when it came to her cancer.â&#x20AC;? Like most restaurateurs, Brewer has been hit by the recession. Although conditions are improving, he said his staffing is down 25 percent from 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is just to make it through the slow economic times,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been extremely tough on all restaurants.â&#x20AC;? In such harsh conditions, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you do

obedient. As descendants of Adam we also choose to be disobedient. We have fallen from innocence, and there is something inherently wrong with us. Pigs cannot change their basic nature, but with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help people can. It is why Jesus Christ came into the world (see John 3:16). God enables every person who accepts His Son as Savior and Lord to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put on a new self, which is the likeness of Godâ&#x20AC;? (Ephesians 4:24). Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we confess our sins, He (God) is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousnessâ&#x20AC;? (I John 1:9). Notice the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;allâ&#x20AC;? in that verse. What this means is that when we confess our sins and seek Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forgiveness, His righteousness is given to us. Our nature is changed. One of the joys of being a Christian minister is to witness the transformation that takes place in the lives of those who come to Jesus Christ. Old things pass away, and all things become new. Alcoholic fathers are changed into the spiritual leaders of their home. Those without a sense of purpose are given new direction. Perhaps this has happened in your life. If not, it can happen. Pigs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly! People can!
