SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: REPEAT OFFENDERS
CHIEF: BURGLARY SUSPECTS HAD LENGTHY RECORDS By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Weeks ago, residents in Sanford’s Rosemount-McIver district were having trouble sleeping at night. Homeowners worried about increasing neighborhood reports of unseen criminals sneaking into occupied houses in the evening hours and making off with whatever is at hand.
Days later, police had their men. Investigators nabbed 41-year-old Nathaniel Maurice Green and charged him with breaking into a Bracken Street residence. Flash forward another 10 days and police had also brought in 25-year-old George Ernest Owens Jr., 29-year-old Timothy Santegus McKendall and a 16-year-old Broadway minor for orchestrating the Rosemount robberies. All of the men, particularly
Green, shared one thing in common, according to Sanford Police Chief Ronnie Yarborough. This wasn’t the first time they had been busted. “Most of the ones that we pick up, not all of them but the majority of them, have previous records,” he said. “Many times they’ve been placed on probation and been picked up time and time again for

WEATHER
Rain, cooler weather return CHARLOTTE (MCT) — The forecast from late Saturday into the middle of next week includes a chance of rain for a state that has seen but a drop since the beginning of September. “But it’s not a slam-dunk,” said Scott Krentz, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s office in Greer, S.C. “It could go either way.” Some type of change in the hot, dry weather is coming, Krentz said. Certainly, many people are waiting for it. The temperature across the Tar Heel State climbed into the low 90s Wednesday, marking the 84th day of 90 degrees or hotter this summer — one day short of second place on the all-time list and four days short of the record, set in 1954. Krentz said the computer models

predict a cold front would reach the Carolinas late Saturdayearly Sunday and that an upper-level low pressure system will move slowly into the South or Southeast. “But there is a lot of difference between the models in how much rain will fall in the Carolinas,” he said. “For now, I’d take the low-end forecast. It might not be that much.” Homeowners across the region apparently hope otherwise. Area nurseries say customers have told them they want to start planting fall flowers and vegetables but are holding off until the summerlike conditions end.

SANFORD — Unlike this time last year, Sanford resident Rhett Isley and his family rarely go out to eat. His four children, ranging in age from 7 to 15, can’t participate in extracurricular activities. Instead of going to summer camp or taking a vacation, his two youngest children went to visit Isley’s mother in Tennessee as a way to get out of the house. The family has had to make a lot of lifestyle changes in the past 11 months, because Isley is one of the thousands of people in Lee County who are unemployed. “Traditionally, I’ve always looked at things as the glass is half full,” Isley said. “But there isn’t always an opportunity available three to six months down the road.” Isley was a project manager for AT&T, providing program management to retail operations. During his time with the company, he built a couple of $3 million stores. He was under contract with the company for two years, but because of the worsening economy, AT&T started letting its contractors go. Isley’s last day was Oct. 2, 2009. His wife, Vickie, has a quilting business that pays the bills and pays for health insurance, but money is tight. Isley immediately began looking for other options, but found that job opportunities in his field were slim. “I’ve put out about 200 resumes now for IT management and similar jobs,” Isley said.

Jury convicts teen of murdering peer
Unemployment rate still falling
RALEIGH (AP) — An Apex teenager was convicted Friday of murder and manipulating three friends into helping to kill a fellow high school student in New Hill. Jurors concluded that Ryan Patrick Hare, 19, was guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the Nov. 30, 2008, killing of Matthew Silliman, 18, of Apex. Hare also was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted first-degree murder arising from a failed earlier attempt to kill Silliman. “I’d like to apologize to the Silliman family,� Hare said before Judge Paul Ridgeway sentenced him to life in prison without parole. Hare was accused of masterminding a scheme to kill Silliman, a high school senior and Eagle Scout whom testimony indicated suffered from bipolar disorder. An autopsy found Silliman drank wine laced with narcotics, but that his death was the result of suffocation. His mouth had been covered with duct tape and his head covered with a plastic bag. Zip ties were
SANFORD — It wasn’t a fluke after all. Lee County’s unemployment rate dipped again in August, one month after state officials reported a full percentage point drop in the recession-battered county’s number. Numbers released Friday by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina track a slight drop in the county’s rate from 11.7 percent in July to 11.4 percent in August. The county’s jobless numbers have soared since the economic recession as manufacturers in industryheavy Lee County laid off scores of workers. The rate was as high as 14.5 percent in February, well above the state average, but the number plunged an entire percentage point from June to July, to the surprise of some local leaders. Economic heads pointed to the continuing tumble in unemployment rates in Lee County last month as evidence that the economy is turning around. “In my discussions with the businesses, they are certainly looking at a better picture,� said Lee County Economic Development
fastened around his wrists, legs and neck. Defense attorney Robert Padovano told jurors in his closing argument Thursday that Hare went along with a plan to help Silliman in carrying out his suicide. Padovano contended Silliman had reached a point where he no longer was “willing to battle his demons.� Prosecutor Jason Waller said Hare sought revenge and plotted Silliman’s death because he had kissed Hare’s girlfriend. The girl, Allegra Dahlquist, testified that she went along with the plan to kill Silliman because she wanted to win back Hare’s trust. Dahlquist pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder a month before Hare’s trial as part of a plea arrangement. She has not been sentenced. Aadil Khan, 19, also was accused of first-degree murder in the case and reached an agreement to plead guilty to lesser charges in exchange for his cooperation with prosecutors.

There’s a little more confidence.� Perhaps most important is the new jobs are appearing in medium-sized businesses in the private sector, said Edith Edmond, manager of Sanford’s Employment Security Commission office.

fray now. “Those kinds of things make you think things are moving along,� she said. “It’s starting to get better.� Of Lee County’s nearly 26,500-strong labor force, more than 3,000 were without jobs in August, the ESC said. Meanwhile, the county’s rate remained higher than the state’s 9.8 percent bar. Lee County was one of 82 counties in the state to mark a drop in unemployment from July to August. Heuts, who coordinates local economic recruiting and retention efforts, said a
number of companies have been hiring of late, at least partially offsetting massive rounds of layoffs since the recession began. Local economic leaders touted a major victory this summer when construction machinery giant Caterpillar agreed to invest millions in its Sanford facility and add approximately 325 new jobs starting next year. Heuts has also said his agency is in talks with additional companies that could bring anywhere from 20 to 450 new jobs in the coming months.

GOP dedicates veterans Wall of Honor Special to The Herald
Submitted photo
From left to right, Frank Del Palazzo, Frankie Del Palazzo, Diane Del Palazzo and Ariana Del Palazzo stand in front of a Wall of Honor photo of Michael Del Palazzo, who is currently serving in the military in Afghanistan.
SANFORD — The Lee County Republican Party dedicated one of the larger walls of its new headquarters to veterans past and present on Friday. The idea for the wall came from local financial planner Frank Del Palazzo, whose son Michael is presently serving a repeat tour of duty with the Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The idea then resonated among GOP officials, and during the week following the headquarter’s grand opening, the wall was prepared and painted by Wayne Schlabach and the Rev. Merritt Taylor. The room was decorated by Sherry Lynn
Womack, Charles and Melissa Staley and other volunteers. The GOP welcomed Del Palazzo and his family to hang the ceremonial first photo on the wall Friday evening. Also in attendance was Rose Mitchell, a veteran of the Vietnam War, who provided a picture of herself for the wall. The facility’s largest room is now being decorated with military-related items. The main wall is now being adorned with photos, portraits, paintings, and other memorabilia of veterans from several generations. GOP officials say anybody, regardless of party affiliation, is invited to bring in a framed picture or other suitable image of a family member, relative or friend who served their country in the military. A special area of the wall will be dedicated to those who died while serving. All drop-offs will be labeled and returned to their rightful owners after the November election.

All you need to know about backyard chickens SANFORD — Moncure farmer Judy Hogan will introduce students to backyard or urban chicken care — appropriate facilities, chick care, nutrition, litter management, laying, egg sales and killing as needed — at a program from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 16, at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford. With limited space and experience, plus a sense of humor, Hogan says anybody can raise a small flock of happy chickens. Hogan will share her learning curve on basics, chicks to healthy eggs and meat. Topics will include: “Everything wants to eat chickens,� “Spoiling your chickens and why,� and “Outwitting your not-so-dumb chickens.� Hogan of Hoganvillaea Farm is a sustainable farmer whose main goal is selfsufficiency and growing her own food. She began raising White Rock chickens in 2003, and she sells extra eggs, vegetables, fruit, herbs to restaurants and individuals.

MOORE COUNTY
Southern Pines imposes water restrictions SOUTHERN PINES (MCT) — An exceptionally dry September has caused drought conditions in most of the state. And the lack of rainfall — just 0.12 of an inch since Sept. 1 — has caused Southern Pines to enact mandatory water restrictions, preventing restaurants from serving drinking water except by request and keeping residents from washing their cars or watering their lawns more than once every four days. The drought, though widespread, is moderate. Southern Pines Town Manager Reagan Parsons said the town invoked its water conservation measure out an “abundance of caution� rather than because of any actual shortage. And some relief is on the horizon. The National Weather Service is predicting rainfall today lasting into the beginning of next week.
However, that precipitation likely won’t be enough to end the drought outright. So far, this September has been the third driest on record -- and the driest since 1990, according to Russell Henes, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Raleigh. — Fayetteville Observer
HARNETT COUNTY
Fraud inquiry follows business mogul’s death RALEIGH (MCT) — State regulators are investigating two companies formerly run by a now-deceased Harnett County businessman who has been accused of orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. The administrator for the estate of Raymond Mulkey Jr. has notified the state Department of Insurance about questionable data that was uncovered during a review of Mulkey’s estate, department spokeswoman Kristin Milam said. The department’s Agent Services Division is conducting audits of two of Mulkey’s insurance agencies, Mulkey & Associates and Southeastern Insurance Services. Those audits are ongoing, Milam said. Mulkey, 63, was found dead in his home in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., on Aug. 16. The Horry County, S.C., coroner has said a cause of death has yet to be determined. Since Mulkey’s death, several North Carolina community banks have discovered apparent fraud on loan applications and paperwork involving the extension of loans. Dunn-based New Century Bank has said it could write off $11 million in loans because of alleged fraud committed by one of the bank’s former directors. Mulkey was a founding director of New Century, which has ties to a number of prominent Democrats. Former state Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand and former Secretary of Transportation Lyndo Tipped serve on the bank’s board. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made Wednesday, Four Oaks Bank in Johnston County said it expects to write off about $4 million in bad loans because of an apparent fraud by one of its customers. — Raleigh News & Observer

Local Man arrested for cocaine in Pineland Street home
SANFORD — Sanford and Lee County drug investigators arrested a local man Thursday after finding a cache of cocaine in his Pineland Street home. Narcotics teams from the Sanford Police Department and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said Larry Donnell Williams, 42, had 7 grams of crack cocaine in his 613 Pineland St. residence when agents executed a search warrant. The store of cocaine has a street value of $1,400, said Sgt. Scott Hunter of Sanford police. Williams is being charged with possession with the intent to sell cocaine, maintaining a dwelling to keep drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. Agents have also charged him with five counts of probation violation out of Halifax County, and for failure to appear in Lee County court on pending drug charges. Williams’ criminal history includes a handful of convictions for felony breaking and entering, larceny and drug possession in Lee and Halifax counties. He was being held in Lee County Jail under a $95,000 bond, Hunt said. — by Billy Ball

I have been wanting to see your smiling face in the store again. When are you coming back? To all my Friends and Customers: I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get back in the store, but I really wanted to be in a good place before I came back to work. First I’d like to say THANK YOU ALL so much for the encouraging notes. The power of support is amazing. On Friday, September 3rd, I had a customer who was getting engaged and called to make an appointment with me. Even though I knew it was going to be hard waiting on young men after losing my son, I really was caught up in his happiness. Then I remembered why I became a jeweler in the ďŹ rst place, because my business is all about love and the expression of love. All of you have given me the love and support during this grieving period which has without a doubt enabled me to get back on my feet and be a Mom to all of your children and treat them as if they were mine. So thank you for praying for me and sending your sons to me for that special time in their life. Knowing that Shane is in God’s embrace helps so much. To all of you that shared your own tragedies, lets me know that I am not the only person to ever feel this sad. But, thank you mostly for letting me know that you can go on. In my heart Shane, will always be the ďŹ rst thing I think about everyday when I wake up and the last thing I think about at night. I know now I can think about other things and move on into the future.

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS DOWN: THE ELLMERS MOSQUE AD Whether or not we agree or disagree with Republican candidate for U.S. Congress Renee Ellmers’ stance on the mosque near Ground Zero in New York City doesn’t matter. That Ellmers would waste campaign money — much of which was a result of donors after Bob Etheridge’s YouTube blow-up — on an issue that should be left to city planners in a city nowhere near the second district of North Carolina is befuddling. Ellmers has done well to capitalize on the fame that
was handed to her after the Etheridge fiasco, and for the most part, she’s stuck to issues like health care and criticisms against Etheridge’s jobs claims. But we doubt many voters here care what she thinks about the mosque. It has absolutely no bearing on her district, and the ad reeks of “follow the party line” campaigning. What’s next? An Ellmers ad on the use of instand replay in baseball?
THUMBS UP: THE BIG SWEEP There are various events that appear on the Central Carolina area fall calendar, but among the most important is the annual “Big Sweep” that involves
waterway cleanup across the Tar Heel state. The local “Big Sweep” includes the cleanup of several areas — San-Lee Park, Deep River Park at Camelback Bridge and Carbonton Dam Park. Volunteers are needed for each of these areas from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 3. Lee County Solid Waste Superintendent Joe Cherry notes of the 2009 Lee County cleanup, “We picked up about 5,600 pounds of trash.” That included 17 tires, furniture, grills, lumber and car parts. There were 68 volunteers last year. Those volunteers deserve a grateful thanks. This is a tremendous project
that is helpful to our environment — and the various volunteers for the event is an example of the great community spirit supplied for this effort.
THUMBS UP: BRING ON FALL We’re going to assume the forecasts were right and the cold front came in last night. This summer has been a dry, brutal one, and we’ve been looking forward to long sleeves for a while now. So join us this week in zipping up that hoodie and taking a deep breath full of cooler, wetter air. And enjoy it while you can. We’ll be begging for summer come February.

RE: RENEE ELLMERS’ AD AGAINST NYC MOSQUE Would be interested in what Candidate Ellmers has to say about North Carolina issues. All we know from this campaign ad is that she’s good at promoting hatred and bigotry. We got issues right here, right now, in this state. I hope N.C. voters won’t fall for this disgusting tactic. — ccccmarketing
RE: LETTER ‘NOT RACIST TO THINK OBAMA BAD FOR US’ It’s a shame the left can’t see the trees for the forest. If they would just take one long, long look at MLK’s “I have a dream” speech, they might realize they are the ones who are racist, because Dictionary.com states a racist is “one who thinks they are superior to others.” Case in point: Pelosi, Reid, Bobby E, Obama, Frank, Kerry and others. You don’t shove legislation only desired by the minority down the throats of the majority if you don’t believe you’re an elitist. — qgirl232
RE: EDITORIAL ON CITY COUNCIL’S LACK OF WORK The city has a Community Development Department that has planned for the future and this plan continually changes as the city changes. Most retreats the city has covers what is new and molds it into the long range plan. Greenways, open spaces, rehab of neighborhoods, medical parks, sidewalks, curb and gutter, fire stations, additions to police, water and sewer expansion, etc. The list goes on and on. This is vision. — heresathought You call building a multi-million dollar, 28-mile gravel path around Lee County a vision? That’s not vision ... that’s a bubble-headed waste of money. We’ve got a backlog of sewers, roads and bridges to install and maintain, not to mention a backlog of maintenance and repairs on our schools. Whoever authorized that so-called greenway project needs adult supervision. Perhaps the Sanford City Council needs to dive back into discussion about budget priorities if the current agenda is too boring. — heres_another_thought

Freak shows not needed
W
e’re 10 years into the 21st Century, and animal freak shows are still considered entertainment. At least I assume they are. Otherwise, I have no explanation for the five-legged goat, the two-headed pig and the other deformed animals on display (for a small fee) at last week’s Lee Regional Fair. This is the same Lee Regional Fair that broke attendance records last week with more than 30,000 visitors, according to organizers. This is the same fair that boasted dozens of rides, dozens of games, tons of entertainment and countless contests, exhibits and attractions. And I won’t lie ... I had a great time the three nights I attended. And The Herald’s fair coverage reached the point of annoying to those few who had zero interest in what was going on at the fairgrounds. For all the fair has going for it, my question is why — in an era where if we wanted to see an abnormally large horse or a bear cub that can ride a tricycle, we could just Google it — do we need mutated animals to be part of the entertainment? Why do we need five ponies confined to five-foot-long leashes walking in circles for hours with screaming kids on their backs? Would attendance go down without this? My guess is no. Yet, but allowing this, the fair is essentially condoning animal cruelty. I know what some of you are thinking — here comes PETA Billy telling us how to run our fair. Or ... why is he worried about a mutated sheep when over in the agriculture barn, cows and pigs are being auctioned off to become someone’s dinner down the road? That’s a valid question. But the Lee Regional Fair, like most county fairs, is the product of agriculture. Young students learn the value of responsibility and hard work (and the rewards of that hard work) by raising and selling cattle, chickens, rabbits, etc. Regardless of their future, most of these animals have probably had it made on their respective farms. My point is — agriculture built the fair. Heck, it built this country. I don’t recall, however, freak shows, dancing bears and pony rides ever being credited with getting us through the 19th Century. These animals live their lives locked up in trailers and cages ... let out only so fairgoers can get their kicks out of a fifth leg or a third eye or a second tail. As for the “affectionately trained” bears who performed this year — I commend the organization that runs the program for saving these bears and refusing training methods that may harm the animals ... but again, I pose the question — does the fair need this? Can organizers guarantee all future animal “acts” are controversy-free? It’s only a simple request on my part. Do away with this part of the “entertainment.” They’re not always on the up-and-up. Just last year, a Charlotte woman paid $4,000 to save a
Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com five-legged puppy from a life of freak-show acts in Coney Island. Typically, these disfigurements are easily fixed by a minor operation ... yet those operations aren’t considered when the animal can bring in a few bucks from those of us who get a kick out of that sort of thing. I won’t even get into why this disturbs me. And look ... not all attractions featuring animals are bad. The Carolina dock dogs feature some well-trained pups jumping in the water after a toy. If you can find a dog that finds that to be back-breaking labor ... well, then I’ll reconsider my position. I hope this doesn’t fall on deaf ears, and I hope this doesn’t come off as this paper searching for faults in an otherwise well-put-together, award-winning fair. I want to attend many of these in the future. I just don’t want to see deformed animals when I do. ❏❏❏ On the same subject, The Herald will be reporting next week about Lee County Animal Control’s decision to do away with the gas chamber at its animal shelter. The department will opt for more human lethal injections, which are safer for the humans involved as well. The change is part of several animal ordinance changes Animal Control is expected to adopt soon. We’re currently breaking down the 31-page ordinance and all the changes, and we hope to have a detailed report in Wednesday’s edition of The Herald. ❏❏❏ Next week, I will return to writing about my kid, as our first born turns 1 on Sunday. Yes, it was one year ago this week when my wife spent more than 24 hours in labor ... resulting in the greatest bundle of joy we could have ever hoped for. How has fatherhood changed me in the past year? Well, that’s what I plan on getting into. In the meantime, if anybody wants to send me a quick not about how parenthood has changed them, I hope to include them in my column. E-mail me at bliggett@sanfordherald.com.
Letters to the Editor You call me a racist, you better be smiling To the Editor: We have the first black man as a United States president ... hip, hip hooray. Now, I’m being very serious about that. Opportunity, advancement, rising to the top through hard work — be you black, white, yellow, brown, you pick the color from the Crayola box, I don’t care — that’s what makes America the greatest nation on this planet. It’s the American dream. But you have to work hard to achieve it. No one is going to give it to you. But what reality are we waking up to? Have the evil Republicans aroused us from our American dream only to kick us in the face? Last time I checked, there were two political parties. Let’s look at LBJ’s great society and the war on poverty. Noble ideas run amuck and drain trillions from the American coffers ... not to mention the funding of the Vietnam War and illegal “invasion” of surrounding countries. Add in Jimmy Carter, increased income taxes, increase capital gains tax, massive increase in federal spending, no tax cuts, high inflation and unemployment ... and the creation of the Department of Energy that has been so effective (in wasting trillions of our dollars and still no energy policy). Bill Clinton ... NAFTA. Remember the giant sucking sounds of jobs leaving the U.S. that Ross Perot talked about? I disagree with many of these presidents’ policies, and according to Mr. Coggins’ theory, I guess that make me a racist against white people? I disagree with a lot of President Obama’s policies and our political and socio-economic philosophies are in stark contrast, but does that make me a racist? No. I disagree with him because of his philosophies. I know history, and I have yet to find any president, Democrat or Republican, whose background includes a communist parent, associations with domestic terrorists and ideas of class equality by wealth displacement through government control. Those are facts, and facts have funny way of not taking sides. That is why I disagree with our president. I am very tired of hearing the same exhausted rhetoric from the left, black or white, that pulls the race card every time something runs in opposition to their agenda. Racism is wrong and does no good in advancing this or any other society. Being called a racist when you disagree with someone of a different color is ignorant. Luckily, ignorance can be fixed. Stupidity, however, can not. RICHARD BLACKWELDER Sanford
Vote for those who aren’t afraid to take a stand To the Editor: In your Sept. 23 edition, I was pleased to see the article on Renee Ellmers (“Election ad calls NYC mosque a win for terrorists”). Win or lose, she has the fortitude to not ride the fence. She made her opinion known and on your front page. I hope the sheeple pay more attention this time to how they vote. Simply voting for someone because their wife looks good or because you saw his picture on a hot-looking girl’s T-shirt is not good enough. If this is the way you vote, and you don’t like what you get, it’s your fault. Don’t just vote for someone because they preach the same repetitive vote-for-me speech along with the we-need-jobs, we-need-this, we-need-that and I’m-the-man-for-thejob routine. Most of us work, pay ever-increasing taxes, go to bed, get up and do it all again with the assumption that both our federal, state and even local government will take care of us, no matter who it is made up of. Wrong. Complacency at our level is killing this country. Our freedom and the beliefs that our country was built on are being taken for granted as if they are always going to be there. They are slowly and cleverly being taken away from us. We need to elect new leaders at all levels of government who are unafraid to speak up for their beliefs during the campaign and not do a flipflop later. We must hold the present elected officials accountable for their actions.

Who is Carl Paladino?
Behind White House curtain
he Republican nominee for governor of New York doesn’t spend a lot of time talking about himself, which is both good and bad. It’s good because, in truth, his surprise victory over the “establishment” favorite (and Conservative Party candidate) Rick Lazio had very little to do with his qualifications and agenda, and everything to do with his tea party-infused attacks on Albany, government and the powers that are. It’s bad, of course, for precisely the same reason. Is Carl Paladino actually qualified to be governor of New York? Is he ready to actually govern — as opposed to venting? Is he prepared to deal with the legislature, the bureaucracy, to make the best appointments, address the challenges facing the state? What are his thoughts about education, the environment, health care, entitlements, crime and urban problems? The issue is not whether anyone (including him) knows the answer to these questions but, more importantly, whether they care. “Sending a message” is an old campaign strategy. But it is more often used by those who are certain to lose than by those who have a chance to win. A new poll this week by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute stunned many political watchers by showing the seemingly invincible New York Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, only six points ahead of his unlikely Republican opponent. The poll of likely voters failed to measure how Lazio’s presence on the conservative line might affect the contest, but it was enough to lead insiders to question the effectiveness of Cuomo’s post-primary strategy, producing plenty of blind quote criticism that the attorney general needs to take his gloves off and create some distance between himself and the establishment critics of Paladino’s qualifications. The fact that Paladino isn’t qualified, it seems, is not enough to convince people not to vote for him. Quite the contrary. On Wednesday, in what seemed like an expression of frustration as much as resolve, Cuomo said: “We’re all angry, OK. What do you want to do? We can have an anger party, celebrate our anger. Or we can say, let’s take that anger, let’s take the energy, let’s focus it and actually do something to correct the problem.” For now, at least, the “anger party” is surging. Anger can be very useful in politics. It energizes people to vote. It motivates them to be involved. The problem facing Cuomo, and many Democrats this fall, is that however sterling their qualifications, “ability” is generating less enthusiasm than old-fashioned “anger.” Maybe it’s time for some fear to address that anger. Christine O’Donnell could win. Cuomo could lose. California could elect a Republican to replace stalwart Democrat Barbara Boxer. I’m not predicting a Democratic demise — yet — but if the most popular politician in New York (and that is Cuomo) is in trouble in a race against a guy who is all but unheard of, whose stump speech consists of off-the-cuff remarks without a hint of an agenda for governing, then it’s about time for some honest-togoodness high-test fear to match the real anger on the other side. Are we really willing to turn the government over to those whose basic agenda is sending a message rather than fixing the problem? If your pipes were bursting at home, would you want someone to take a 9-iron to them, or would you look for an experienced plumber who might actually have some ideas about how to fix them? Why is politics the one area where it is assumed that high emotion and a total lack of experience are the magic ingredients for success? I understand why people are angry, and why they would want to vote against what they see as the political establishment in this country. But what happens the day after, when the Carl Paladinos are expected to govern? By then, it will be too late to ask just who they are, and whether we can really trust them to fix the pipes. You can fire a bad plumber when you stop being angry. But once you vote, the party’s over.
EW YORK — Question of the day: Why do presidents give the White House keys to Bob Woodward? I ask this with all due deference, respect, hat in hand, cape over puddle and other sundry gestures owed by inkstained wretches like me to The Most Famous Journalist on the Planet. Through several administrations, Woodward has become the president ex officio — or at least the reporter-inchief, a human tape recorder who issues history’s first draft even as history is still tying its shoes. For years he’s been the best-selling first read on a president’s inner struggles. His latest, “Obama’s Wars,” exposes infighting in the West Wing over how to handle Afghanistan. The suggestion that there was discord in the Oval Office over whether to increase troop numbers in a brutal war theater is, frankly, of great consolation. If we don’t worry ourselves sick about putting lives on the line, what exactly would we concern ourselves with? ... What is of some concern — at least based on those excerpts that have leaked thus far — is that the president gets pushed around by the generals. And that impression feeds into the larger one that Barack Obama is not quite the commander in chief. He seems far more concerned with being politically savvy than with winning what he has called the good war. Cognitive dissonance sets in when Obama declares that “it’s time to turn the page” in the war he didn’t like — Iraq — and that is not in fact over. Fifty-thousand troops remain in Iraq, while the surge in Afghanistan seems to be not enough — or too much for too long, already. Whatever one’s view of circumstances on the ground, whether in the wars abroad or in domestic skirmishes on Wall Street, Obama seems not to be the man in charge. Nor does it seem that he is even sure of his own intentions. One telling exchange reported by Woodward took place with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. In explaining his July 2011 deadline to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, Obama told Graham: “I have to say that. I can’t let this be a war without end, and I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.” How’s that? We tell the enemy when we’re leaving so the party base doesn’t get upset? Well, of course, public opinion matters in war, as in all things. As we’ve seen before, wars can’t be won without the will of the people at home. But a commander in chief at least ought to know what he’s fighting for and why he’s asking Americans to risk their lives. If it’s not a good enough reason to warrant victory, then maybe it isn’t any longer a good war. In another telling anecdote, the president asked his aides for a plan “about how we’re going to hand it off and get out of Afghanistan.” Apparently, he didn’t get such a plan. ... The White House reportedly isn’t upset with the way the president comes across. His portrayal is consistent with what they consider a positive profile: Obama as thoughtful and reflective. To the list might we add ponderous? ... The Woodward Syndrome, meanwhile, presents a dilemma for all presidents. By his presence, events are affected. By our knowledge of what he witnesses, even as history is being created in real time, we can also affect these same events. Is it fair to Obama to critique him as he navigates his own thoughts? Or are we interfering with outcomes by inserting ourselves into conversations to which we were never supposed to be privy? It’s a conundrum unlikely to be resolved. If anything, in our tell-all, seeall political culture, no struggle will go unrecorded or un-critiqued. The need for strong leadership is, therefore, all the more necessary. There’s a saying that seems applicable here: Work like you don’t need money, love like you’re never been hurt, dance like no one’s watching. Note to President Obama: Lead like there’s no tomorrow. No midterm election, no presidential re-election, no party base. Liberate yourself from the Woodward Syndrome, figure out what you think, and lead. You are the commander in chief, after all. Half the country may disagree with you, but they’ll respect you in the morning.

Profit vs. nonprofit “P
hiladelphia Scandal Underscores Pitiful State of Public Housing Oversight,” read Jonathan Berr’s Aug. 28 report in the Daily Finance. It was a story about Carl Greene, the embattled director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA). He was put on paid leave while the board investigates charges that he settled four sexual harassment claims against him without notifying the PHA, doled out work to politically connected law firms and pressured employees to donate to his favorite nonprofit. Greene is also being investigated by the U.S. Attorney General Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and HUD’s Office of Inspector General. They have yet to bring criminal charges against him. People always act surprised by revelations of political corruption but the Philadelphia Housing Authority corruption is highly probably in nonprofit entities such as government. Because of ignorance and demagoguery, being profit-motivated has become suspicious and possibly a dirty word. Nonprofit is seen as more righteous. Very often, people pompously stand before us and declare, “We’re a nonprofit organization.” They expect for us to believe that since they’re not in it for money, they are somehow above self-interest and have the public interest as their motivation. There’s little much further from the truth. People are always self-interested. It’s just when they manage a nonprofit organization such as the Philadelphia Housing Authority, government entities in general, universities and charitable organizations, they face a different set of constraints on their behavior. The fundamental difference between nonprofit organizations and their profit-making counterparts is that nonprofits tend to take a greater portion of their compensation from easier working conditions, more time off, favors and under-the-table payments. Profit-making organizations take a greater portion of their compensation in cash, except those that are highly regulated. In the profit-making world, there is much greater monitoring of the behavior of people who act for the organization. Profitmaking organizations have a financial bottom line they must meet, or sooner or later, heads will roll. Not so with nonprof-

its, who have no bottom line to meet. On top of that, incompetence for nonprofits means bigger budgets, higher pay and less oversight. That description aptly fits one the nation’s largest nonprofit organizations — the public education establishment. Profit is vital to human well-being. Profit is the payment to entrepreneurs just as wages are payments to labor, interest to capital and rent to land. In order to earn profits in free markets, entrepreneurs must identify and satisfy human wants and do so in a way that economizes on society’s scarce resources. ... When a firm fails to please its customers and thereby fails to earn a profit, it goes bankrupt, making those resources available to another who might do better. That’s unless government steps in to bail it out. Bailouts permit a business to continue doing a poor job of pleasing customers and husbanding resources. Government-owned nonprofit entities are immune to the ruthless market discipline of being forced to please customers. The same can be said of businesses that receive government handouts. It’s this ruthlessness of market discipline that forces firms to please customers, economize on resources and thereby earn profits or go out of business and goes a long way toward explaining hostility toward free market capitalism. And much of the hostility toward free market capitalism is held by businessmen. Adam Smith recognized this in his “Wealth of Nations” when he said, “People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” Their co-conspirator is always government.

violating probation.� Yarborough said his police force is facing an onslaught of locals who have made something of a career out of crime. First-degree arson, assault on a female, larceny, felony and misdemeanor breaking and entering, trespassing, common law forgery, shoplifting — Green has been convicted of all of those crimes since 1986. At one point, he served nearly a 10-year prison sentence for the arson charges and was released in August 2008. The story is much the same for Owens, who was in the process of serving 18 months of probation time for a June conviction on possession of stolen goods charges. Owens has also been locked up for drug possession, larceny, multiple counts of felony breaking and entering, assault and larceny since 2001. Owens, a Sanford resident, has been entangled with the law since he was a teenager. McKendall, meanwhile, was released from a state prison in
February following conviction on drug possession charges. His past convictions include assault on a female, identity theft, larceny, possession of stolen goods, common law forgery and a slew of charges for felony breaking and entering since 1998. Information on the Broadway teen was not available because The Sanford Herald and police do not publish the names of arrested minors. According to Yarborough, the multiple run-ins with the same suspects is fraying investigators’ nerves and patience. “It’s discouraging when you see their records and you see how many times they’ve been charged with those types of offenses in the past and not just in Lee County,� Yarborough said. “You’re really wondering how they’re walking the streets.� Accused criminals often seek plea deals with prosecutors where they agree to plead guilty in exchange for lesser sentences like probation. Yarborough said it is those criminals plaguing police. He pointed out Gabriel Elijah Martin, a 19-year-old Sanford man accused of wielding an AK-47 assault rifle in stick-ups at several local con-
venience stores and a Capital Bank this summer, has his own record. Martin’s past convictions include possession of drug paraphernalia and, most notably, charges of taking indecent liberties with a 12-year-old. Yarborough said Martin was on house arrest at the time of the bank and convenience store robberies, and even wore a court-ordered ankle bracelet tracking his location to one of the holdups. A longtime chief for Sanford police, Yarborough said he’s questioning the length and severity of some convicted criminals’ punishments, but not the work of local prosecutors. “People who are committing serious crimes, that are victimizing the citizens that should feel safe at home, these people that we pick up over and over, they should be sent to prison,â€? he said. Officials with the Lee County District Attorney’s office could not be reached for comment on this story. â??

Families Continued from Page 1A
“Working to find a job today is harder than any job I’ve ever had.� It’s a sentiment Sanford resident Bart Willis knows all too well. Willis worked as a project manager for commercial construction and modular building, but he was laid off in February 2009. “Initially, we thought I was very marketable,� Willis said. “Since we hadn’t experienced it, we were kind of in a ‘it can’t happen to me’ mode.� Willis’ wife works as a mental health therapist, but prior to being laid off, he brought home about two-thirds of the household income. With two young children to think about, Willis didn’t waste time in searching for another job. But soon the savings ran out and the interviews stopped, and the Willis family had to get creative with budgeting. Willis and his wife canceled their landline and reduced their cell phones to the minimum plan. They started clipping coupons to help with the cost of groceries, reduced their satellite TV package and made arrangements with their children’s daycare center. “Depression definitely set in,� Willis said. “There’s a loss of self worth. For me at least, you go from $85,000 a year to zero. That’s a significant hunk of change.� To combat those difficult emotions, both men established routines and stuck to them. Most days, Isley is up by 8 a.m. He receives e-mails from multiple job boards, and he checks every job site from Craigslist to Tech Wire. He also tackles whatever temporary work he can find, such as working with the U.S. Census earlier this year. “I do better if I have a purpose or some responsibility,� Isley said. “I need to feel like I’m a contributing part of
something.� Isley and Willis also both found a saving grace in Sanford Jobseekers, a weekly support group held at First Baptist Church. Each week, Sanford Jobseekers features different programs ranging from interview tips and how to market oneself to stress management and networking. The programs also incorporate spiritual guidance. “It’s given me an avenue for spiritual support and an opportunity to meet people I wouldn’t have met otherwise,� Isley said. The church also offers free use of computers for jobseekers, and guest speakers share words of advice. Isley and Willis both took on leadership roles in the group, sharing their skill sets and offering help and support to others going through the same experience. Both men cite their involvement with Sanford Jobseekers as a fulfilling experience that helped them grow on a personal and professional level. “It’s a community of people that can share what’s going on,� Willis said. “It makes you feel like you’re not alone.� With unemployment statistics in Lee County as high as they are, Isley and Willis worked to make their skills stand out. In addition to writing customized cover letters, Willis ended up with 11 different resumes highlighting different strengths and skills. One of those 11 resumes led to Willis becoming one of the lucky ones. After nearly 16 months of unemployment, Willis found a job. In June, Willis started working as an estimator for Disaster One, a contractor that handles restoration projects after disasters. Willis develops scopes and budgets for insurance claims, work that is different from his old job but similar enough that his skills transferred. “I’d applied for a marketing job with them several months before and they
called me out of the blue,� Willis said. “There’s a time in the interview process when you’re pretty sure you have the job. The human resources person was on vacation, and there was a three-day wait when we knew I had the job but it wasn’t official.� When he finally got the official call, Willis felt overwhelming relief. The financial strain and personal stress began to lift. If they wanted to, the Willises could have restored their landline, stopped clipping coupons and increased their satellite and cell phone packages again. But Willis said the adjustments the family made when he was unemployed will stay in place. “You learn a lot when you have to do without,� Willis said. “By giving up certain things, we grew closer as a family. It was a humbling learning experience.� Isley is still looking for a full-time job, but he remains committed to his routine and staying active. For the past few weeks, he has been substitute teaching at Lee Christian School, keeping busy with grading papers and developing full lesson plans. Willis said it’s easy to become depressed when unemployed, but he encourages people to keep busy and never give up. Isley said the long process of job hunting is frustrating, but he knows a lot of people today are unemployed through no fault of their own. It’s important to find fulfillment in other areas, Isley said, and to always keep one’s head held high. In spite of everything, he still has hope for his future. “In five years, I want to be back in management somewhere or running a business,� Isley said. “I want my kids to be able to go to college without having to worry about money. I don’t need to travel the world or own a Rolls Royce, but I want to live comfortably. I want to provide opportunities for my kids.�

10A / Sunday, September 26, 2010 / The Sanford Herald STATE BRIEFS Freshman at Elon University collapses, dies ELON (AP) — Elon University officials say a freshman from New Jersey has died after collapsing while walking to a morning class. University spokesman Dan Anderson told multiple media outlets that Michelle A. Pfleger died Friday. Officials think she had an existing medical condition, but a cause of death was not immediately released. The university said the young woman from Hackettstown, N.J., was an Odyssey Scholar and the recipient of the Mac Mahon Family Scholarship. The school planned a memorial for Sunday evening at the Moseley Center.
Interstate bridge work delayed for fa;; leaf season ASHEVILLE (AP) — The North Carolina Transportation Department will put major bridge repair work on hold until after the peak of leaf season. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that the decision Friday afternoon will postpone work on the Interstate 240 bridge in West Asheville until November. Transportation Department engineer Jay Swain says the change was made because of concern about the impact on tourism-related businesses during the prime fall season. The plan originally called for closing the eastbound lanes
for six weekends then the westbound lanes. Business owners said the work would create traffic jams on the interstate that might keep tourists away. Swain said the economy and problems created by the closure of Interstate 40 last year after a rock slide led the agency to listen to business concerns.
Woman sentenced in death of N.C. man who helped her FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A woman has been sentenced to at least 16 years in prison after pleading guilty to murder and robbery in the death of a Fayetteville man who had given her help over the years. The Fayetteville Observer reported that 27-year-old Latasha Rochelle McKoy pleaded guilty last week in the 2007 death of Elwyn Oneil Jones. The 74-year-old TV repair shop owner gave McKoy food, shelter and a job over a 10-year period. McKoy was sentenced Thursday to serve between 16 years, eight months and 20 years, nine months. McKoy’s boyfriend, Anthony Keith Leslie, was sentenced to life in prison last year after pleading guilty to murder. Prosecutors say Leslie pretended to hold McKoy at knifepoint to get Jones to give up his valuables. When Jones fought to protect McKoy, he was fatally stabbed.
Rescuers search for missing boater at N.C. lake
Plaque recalls 3 victims of S.C. chopper crash
MOUNT HOLLY (AP) — Crews were searching for a 34-yearold man who disappeared while swimming at a lake near Charlotte. Multiple media outlets reported that several rescue groups and the North Carolina Fish and Wildlife Division returned to Mountain Island Lake on Saturday morning to continue the search that started Friday evening. Officials did not identify the missing man, but said someone called emergency workers in Gaston County to report that the man had jumped from his boat into the lake and did not resurface.
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — A memorial plaque is being unveiled in memory of the threemember crew of a medical helicopter killed in a crash on the South Carolina coast. The ceremony unveiling the plaque on Saturday at the Conway-Horry County Airport comes on the one-year anniversary of the crash. The helicopter went down on a rainy night in a stand of pines near Georgetown. The National Transportation Safety Board has not yet released a probable cause. The crash killed 45-year-old Patrick Walters of Murrells Inlet, 42-year-old flight nurse Diana Conner of Florence and 39-yeaer-old paramedic Randolph Claxton Dove, who was from Bladenboro.
Explosion closes N.C. mall; no injuries reported RALEIGH (AP) — Officials say an explosion in the basement of a Raleigh mall led to the temporary closure of the shopping center, but no injuries were reported. Jerry Pace of the Raleigh Fire Department told WTVD in Durham that the explosion Friday evening blew the top of an electrical box, cutting power to mall stores. Three shoppers were trapped in an elevator for about 45 minutes until power was restored. The cause of the explosion had not been determined. Business returned to normal within a few hours.
Ex-immigration officer sentenced in extortion case GREENSBORO (AP) — A former federal immigration officer in North Carolina will spend a year in prison for trying to force an illegal immigrant to sleep with him. U.S. District Judge N. Carlton Tilley gave the maximum sentence to Bedri Kulla in Greensboro on Friday. The 49-year-old Morrisville man had been employed as an immigration services officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

RALEIGH
Federal civil rights complaint filed against Wake schools
RALEIGH (MCT) — The state NAACP announced Saturday that it has filed a federal civil rights complaint accusing the Wake County school system of racial discrimination over student assignment and disciplinary issues. The complaint, filed late Friday afternoon, is part of an effort to block the new school board majority from moving forward with neighborhood schools. The complaint cites actions ranging from student reassignment changes made this year by the new board to the new assignment plan being developed to how minority students are disproportionately disciplined. The complainants are local, state and national chapters of the NAACP, the youth group N.C. HEAT (Heroes Emerging Among Teens) and Quinton White, a student who was reassigned this year by the school board. They’re asking the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to intervene. A new school board majority that took office
Dec. 1 after last fall’s elections eliminated the longstanding diversity based student assignment policy. A school board committee is working on a new model, loosely basely on current high school attendance boundaries, that would divide the county into 16 zones. Members of the board majority say the new model will provide parents with more stability and choice and allow children to go to schools in their community. They contend the diversity policy failed because of the low test scores and graduation rates for minority and poor children. School board chairman Ron Margiotta dismissed the new federal complaint as being “weak” and a “distraction.” He said it represents yet another attempt by a vocal minority who are upset with last year’s election results. “These are all distractions that are trying to take us away from our job of educating the kids,” Margiotta said today. “We’re not going to let this distraction take away from our focus on academic achievement.”

But opponents of the new board claim the new assignment plan will lead to resegregation. NAACP leaders, both national and local, met Saturday to announce their first step to harnessing the laws circumvent the new assignment plan. Pastors and lawyers spoke passionately about the need to protect the county’s children from being burdened by the same segregation that burdened African Americans as recently as the 1960s in North Carolina. “That’s why it is so tragic that people are trying to take us back down that road,” The Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. “For folks to want to go backward, that’s tragic.” Ben Jealous, the national president and CEO of the NAACP, spoke Saturday about the need for Wake County school officials to spend their time building upon the successes of the county’s diversity policy, not tear it down. “In this county, where we all have to spend so much time fixing what’s broke,” Jealous said, meeting cheers Saturday morning. “How dare you
come in and break what’s fixed.” The complaint filed Friday is based on Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that bars groups that receive federal funding from engaging in discrimination. In the last school year, Wake County’s school system received nearly $78 million in federal funds. Mark Dorosin, a senior attorney with the UNC Center for Civil Rights who helped draft the complaint, said the complaint is based on three arguments. Dorosin said the first argument is that the new board majority made reassignment moves this year with discriminatory intent. He cited the reassignment of black students from Garner High to Southeast Raleigh High and of white students from Stough Elementary to Lacy Elementary. The new board had moved more than 1,000 students to different schools for this fall after adjusting the reassignment plan agreed to by the old board. Dorosin said the second argument is that the new community assignment zones being devel-
oped will have disparate impact on minority students. They’re contending the new zones will segregate schools and deny students of color access to educational opportunities. The third argument is that Wake suspends and expels a disproportionately high percentage of black and minority students. The new board majority has acknowledged that the district was suspending too many students and is in the process of overhauling the discipline policies. Barber, president of the state NAACP, has been threatening legal
action against the school board for months. He warned today that they still may file a lawsuit in addition to this federal civil rights complaint. Barber had filed a similar Title VI complaint to accuse the Wayne County school system of engaging in segregation. Barber also filed the complaint that’s led to AdvancED, which accredits Wake’s 24 high schools, to conduct a special review. On Saturday, Barber vowed to not back down from his fight in Wake County. — Raleigh News & Observer

BP fund czar THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATES COULD promises bigger, TIP CLOSE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS faster claims
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill should start getting bigger payments faster, the administrator of the fund set up to help them said Saturday. Kenneth Feinberg said he was responding to criticism from residents and businesses. “Over the past few weeks, I have heard from the people of the Gulf, elected officials, and others that payments remain too slow and not generous enough,” Feinberg said in a statement. “I am implementing new procedures that will make this program more efficient, more accelerated and more generous.” Anthony Kennon, mayor of hard-hit Orange Beach, Ala., said he wasn’t moved by the news. He said people in his community need action now, and they don’t feel they are getting it. He said he doesn’t believe Feinberg has truly been addressing their main
concern about wanting a seat at the decision-making table. “They feel despair, they feel helpless, they feel abandoned,” Kennon said. “These are all mom-and-pop shops. We are devastated. I’ve got people knocking on my door saying, ‘I’m leaving, great knowing you mayor. I’m losing my business, my home.’” Because tourism has taken such a hit in his community, doctors who rely on walk-in tourists for patients in the summer have seen business fall off a cliff. But, Kennon said those doctors’ claims to the compensation fund are being summarily denied because of the type of industry they are in. According to Feinberg, claims from now on will be sorted by industry to allow those reviewing the claims to apply a more specific, uniform set of standards when deciding how much a person or business will be paid.

2010 New Car Salesmen of the Year
WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether they are sore losers or never-say-die patriots, third-party candidates threaten to tip a handful of congressional and gubernatorial races to contenders who otherwise might have lost this fall. Nine-term Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware is the third prominent Republican to consider a third-party bid this year after a suffering a stinging setback at the hands of tea-party-backed conservatives. If Castle decides to make an independent run for Senate, he will join Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in refusing to let GOP primary voters force them into retirement. While Crist, Murkowski and Castle are wellknown politicians, many third-party campaigns are lonely, low-budget affairs with little hope of winning more than 2 or 3 percent of the vote. But in extremely tight races, that could be enough to swing the outcome between the Democratic and Republican nominees. In several cases, Democrats hope to benefit from third-party campaigns by conservatives with tea party ties, who threaten to pull votes from the Republican nominees. That’s the hope of two hard-pressed House Democrats in Virginia, Tom Perriello and Glenn Nye.

Delaware Republican Senate candidate, Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., joined by his wife Jane, center, addresses supporters after his defeat on primary election night in Wilmington, Del. Their well-financed GOP opponents failed to persuade one or more of their unsuccessful Republican rivals from mounting independent campaigns, which conceivably could siphon away enough conservative votes to sink the GOP nominee. Third-party candidates rarely win, but they’re sometimes successful “in pulling the rug out from under the nominee” who defeated them in the party primary, said Ross K. Baker, a Rutgers University political scientist. “They’re disgruntled primary losers, and they want revenge,” he said. Among the nation’s most famous, or infamous, third-party efforts was Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential bid. He won enough liberal votes in Florida to keep Democrat Al Gore from carrying
the state and becoming president. Connecticut voters elected third-party candidates Lowell Weicker as governor and Joe Lieberman as senator, but few other Americans have matched their success. This year’s most visible third-party campaigns are being mounted by prominent Republicans who fell victim to tea party-backed candidates who labeled them as too accommodating to Democrats. Crist left the Republican Party in April when it became clear that Marco Rubio, a tea party favorite, would win the party’s Senate nomination. Republican officials hope Crist’s independent campaign will pull about as many votes from Democrat Kendrick Meek as from Rubio. That probably would lead to a Rubio
win, unless Crist can take huge numbers from both rivals. More recently, Murkowski, who lost the Alaska GOP nomination to tea party favorite Joe Miller, has launched a write-in campaign to try to keep the seat she has held since 2002. Political insiders say the effort probably will fail, as has every Senate write-in campaign since 1954. But it’s hard to predict whether Murkowski would pull more votes from Miller or from Democrat Scott McAdams, leaving Miller’s frontrunner status slightly in doubt. On Friday, top GOP officials were urging Castle to drop the notion of a write-in campaign after his stunning loss to insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell in the Senate primary. “I just think write-ins are long shots,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, head of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. “As chairman of a party committee, it is our responsibility to support the nominee, the choice of the primary voters, and that’s what we’re going to do.” Some third-party candidates are hurting Democrats as well. A Green Party candidate in Arkansas is likely to take votes from Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who is trailing Republican John Boozman in polls.

Obama dismisses GOP ‘Pledge’ as echo of disaster
By TOM BREEN Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Republicans’ plan to slash taxes and cut spending if the GOP retakes the House in November is no more than “an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.” Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to skewer House Republicans over the “Pledge to America” they unveiled this week. It also promised to cut down on government regulation, repeal Obama’s health care law and end his stimulus program. “The Republicans who want to take over Congress offered their own ideas the other day. Many were the very same policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place, which isn’t surprising, since many of their leaders were among the architects of that failed policy,” Obama said. Republicans used their own radio address to defend the plan. “The new agenda embodies Americans’ rejection of the notion that we can simply tax, borrow and spend our way to prosperity,” said one of its authors, California Rep. Kevin McCarthy. “It offers a new way forward that hasn’t been tried in Washington — an approach focused on cutting spending — which is sadly a new idea for a Congress accustomed to always accelerating it.”
8 shot, 1 fatally, at Los Angeles house party
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eight people were shot, including one fatally, and three others were stabbed after a fight broke out at a house party in east Los Angeles. Police Sgt. Kristin Hagerty said Saturday that at least one suspect is being sought in the shootings that erupted just after 2 a.m. in the suburban Boyle Heights neighborhood. She says two of the gunshot victims suffered critical injuries and the others who were injured are in stable condition. One person died at the scene. Hagerty says the incident does not appear to be gang related.
5 shot at party near Seton Hall in NJ; 1 killed
EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — A man who was denied access to a private party at an apartment near Seton Hall University left and returned with a handgun, fatally shooting a university student and wounding four other people. Seton Hall student Jessica Moore, 19, died from her injuries at 3:20 p.m. Saturday, said Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. Moore had been hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting just after midnight. The other four victims were hospitalized with non-lifethreatening injuries, but one has since been released, said East Orange Police Sgt. Andrew Di Elmo. Di Elmo says the victims did not know the shooter, who fled from the apartment on foot. Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s capture. Police said that in addition to Moore, two of the other victims are both 19-year-old female students at Seton Hall, and one is a 25-yearold male student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The fifth victim is a 20year-old man from New York City who is not a student.
T
he 2006 scandal that ousted one of America’s most prominent preachers forced independent charismatic and evangelical churches to consider how to keep a closer eye on their leaders, an issue raised again this week with lawsuits accusing another megachurch pastor of misconduct. It’s too early to say whether the sex allegations against Bishop Eddie Long, the famed pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta, will spur the kind of soul-searching that followed the downfall of the Rev. Ted Haggard in Colorado. Regardless, pastors and experts say the Long case demonstrates how vulnerable the country’s independent churches still are to being damaged by the misbehavior — sexual, financial or otherwise — of leaders whose considerable influence often comes with temptation and little accountability. “The more powerful a Christian leader becomes, the fewer restraints that other people can put on them,” said the Rev. H.B. London Jr., vice president of ministry outreach for Focus on the Family. “Some of these men and
women become so powerful that no one can tell them ‘no.’” In one of the biggest shocks ever for independent churches, Haggard resigned from the Colorado Springs megachurch he founded after a Denver man accused him of paying for sex. The fall of Haggard, who drove a pickup truck and made church salaries public information, shook the independent churches who considered him a spotless success story. “Ted was not viewed as being one of the extravagant people,” said J. Lee Grady, a contributing editor at Charisma Magazine and the author of “The Holy Spirit is Not For Sale.” said. “Ted was viewed as one of the sensible people. That was a huge blow to the movement.” Haggard said the risk for all pastors lies in how they understand their relationship to God and the members of the congregation. “Some preachers see themselves as with the people,” he said. “Some see themselves as leading the people. And some preachers see themselves as on the mountaintop with God, above the people.” Having recently started a new church, Haggard said he’s always tried to be
a pastor who is with the people. There have been subsequent scandals for independent churches since 2006, but none has involved a leader as prominent as Long. Over the last 20 years, Long became one of the most powerful independent church leaders in the country. He led New Birth as it grew from a suburban Atlanta congregation of 150 to a 25,000-member powerhouse with a $50 million cathedral and a roster of parishioners that includes athletes, entertainers and politicians. This week, four young men who once belonged to New Birth filed lawsuits, claiming Long pushed them into sexual relationships when they were 17 or 18 years old with gifts including cars, cash and travel. Three of the young men live in Georgia, while the other was a member of a satellite church in Charlotte, N.C., run by Long. Long denies the charges and plans to respond at Sunday worship services. Even before the allegations of sexual misconduct, New Birth was one of six ministries targeted in 2007 by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, over the handling of their finances. Long was singled out by Grassley for questions over whether he, rather
than New Birth’s board of directors, holds sole authority over the organization. It’s a question that applies to many Pentecostal and independent charismatic churches around the country, which often have little or no affiliation with other churches and which sometimes have leaders who seem bigger than the church itself. Lavish lifestyles and autocratic leadership can combine to create a kind of religious celebrity and the temptations that go along with that, according to Christian journalist J. Lee Grady. “In some ways, they’re like television personalities,” Grady said. “When they fall, it’s loud, because everybody knows them. It’s almost like success destroys people.” After Haggard’s scandal, churches began new programs of training for pastors and looked to adopt safeguards against misconduct. London, who counsels pastors, advises church leaders to always have at least two people holding them accountable — to the point of being able to access their computer and phone records. The abundance of clerical scandals at churches with more formal, hierarchical structures is proof that such safeguards can’t
completely eliminate misconduct, with the Roman Catholic Church’s sex abuse saga a prime example. “The main check on leadership that goes berserk is really the congregation,” said Harvard Divinity School professor Harvey Cox, an expert on Pentecostal and charismatic churches. “You’ve got to keep the congregation with you, or they can toss you out.” At the time of Haggard’s fall, he led the National Association of Evangelicals. The organization, which includes Pentecostal and charismatic churches along with Presbyterians, Lutherans, and other longer-established bodies, is developing a clergy code of ethics for its members, according to David Neff, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today and a member of the committee developing the code. Neff cautions that such measures are not foolproof. “It’s possible for policies to be bent and shaped and ignored,” he said. “Even when you’re in a denomination that has a much stronger set of controls and authority than these independent churches do, you’re on your own most of the time.”

LINDSAY LOHAN
E-BRIEFS
Actress spends less than day in jail
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan was freed from a suburban Los Angeles jail late Friday night, well short of the nearly monthlong stay a judge had intended for the actress following a failed drug test. Lohan was released at about 11:40 p.m. after posting $300,000 bail, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said early Saturday. Celebrity website TMZ.com reported her release just before midnight. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox had ordered Lohan held without bail during a brief hearing Friday morning, But his ruling later was overturned after the “Mean Girls” star’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, filed a late-afternoon appeal seeking bail. Judge Patricia Schnegg, who is an assistant supervising judge of LA’s criminal courts, issued a ruling shortly before 6 p.m., saying that since the starlet had been convicted of misdemeanors, she was entitled to bail. The actress is not entirely free. She will be required to wear an ankle alcohol monitor and stay away from establishments that primarily sell alcohol.

A courtroom sketch of the Lindsay Lohan hearing at the Beverly Hills Courthouse in Beverly Hills, Calif., Friday. She is also due back in court on Oct. 22, when the judge who curtly sent her to jail will decide what her punishment will be for failing a drug test roughly two weeks after he released her early from rehab. At that hearing, Fox will formally determine whether Lohan, 24, violated her probation by failing a court-mandated drug test. The positive result came after the judge released Lohan early from inpatient rehab at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Fox did not say why he had ordered no bail for the actress Friday morning, or state what drug appeared in her system during the recent test. Friday marked the
third time Lohan has been sent to jail in a three-year-old drug and drunken driving case. She spent 84 minutes at the jail in 2007 and 14 days of a three-month sentence earlier this summer. After news of her positive drug test broke last week, Lohan seemed to acknowledge an addiction problem on her Twitter feed. “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night,” Lohan posted on Twitter on Sept. 17. “This is certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences.” Fox had laid out a strict 67-day course of
counseling, substance abuse meetings, monitoring and drug testing for Lohan in August. He asked probation officials on Friday to report how the actress had progressed on the treatment programs before Lohan’s next court hearing. The judge has said Lohan would be sent to jail for 30 days for each drug screening she skipped or failed and appeared to make good on the promise with his no bail order. If he sentences her to jail in October, the amount of time he orders her to serve would be whittled down because of jail overcrowding and various credits. Despite her release Friday, Lohan’s continued court troubles have cast a pall over her career. She has been slated to star as Linda Lovelace in a biopic about the porn star, but the production schedule already was altered when Lohan was sent to jail in July. In an e-mail sent before Lohan was granted bail, Matthew Wilder, the writer-director of the film titled “Inferno,” said the film’s producers “want her to do well.” He did not address whether Lohan’s role would be recast or the film further delayed.

Blige, Urban League present $50K scholarship
Beckham sues publisher over prostitute claim
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Nine-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige is a big believer in giving chances to aspiring young women. She afforded one to Camry Rosario of New York at halftime of the New York Urban League football game between Howard and Morgan State on Saturday. Rosario received a combined check that represented a $50,000, four-year scholarship from Blige’s charity, the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, and the Urban League. Rosario will use it to attend Mercy College and major in physical therapy. For the 39-year-old recording artist, it was a matter of giving girls a chance she never had. “It’s important for me to give back because I never had the chance to get what I wanted out of the educational system,” said Blige, whose commitment to the Urban League included participation in a panel discussion for 150 young women in May. “It’s what I didn’t have. But what I did have was a second chance at life.” Blige made the presentation with Urban League president and CEO Arva R. Rice. This was Blige’s first year of commitment to the Urban League, following other luminaries such as Oprah Winfrey and the late George Steinbrenner. “For her to give back is wonderful,” Rice said. “She’s a woman who’s struggled, and so many of these kids are like her.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for David Beckham have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging that a magazine knowingly published false claims that the soccer superstar had sex with prostitutes. The suit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court accuses Delaware-based Bauer Publishing Company LP and its affiliates of libel, slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress for the In Touch magazine article. The suit also names 26-year-old Irma Nici, who is quoted as saying she was a call girl who slept with Beckham five times in 2007. She claims he also had sex with a second prostitute. Beckham publicist Jeff Raymond says suits are being filed in other jurisdictions including Germany, where Bauer’s parent corporation is located. An e-mail to Bauer late Friday was not returned.

U.S. television rights battle set to rage
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (AP) — Describing the Olympics as the last refuge of family viewing in the United States, Dick Ebersol, the head of NBC Universal Sports, said on Friday the network is ready to battle for American broadcast rights to the 2014 and 2016 games. International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge had signaled earlier on Friday that after several false starts the IOC was finally prepared begin negotiating a deal for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games and the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. A fragile economic climate in the United States had prompted the IOC to delay the start of negotiations. The IOC president told Reuters in July that bidding could be put off until after the 2012 Olympics in London because of the uncertainty of the American economy. But with the U.S. economic picture improving the IOC said negotiations could start before the end of the year. “Jacques said a month or two after the Games in Vancouver it would be in 2011 and Carrion (Richard Carrion a member of the IOC executive board who will oversee negotiations) said in the summer he hoped it would be in the first quarter,” Ebersol told reporters after delivering the keynote address at the U.S. Olympic Assembly.

Flood fight continues in parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With 240 guests expected, Luke Fischer and Rachel Smith weren’t about to let the widespread flooding in southern Minnesota get in the way of their wedding Saturday. The 24-year-olds, who live in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Louis Park, went back to her hometown of Waseca to get married at the Church of the Sacred Heart. Their
reception was about 10 miles away at the Owatonna Country Club, in a city where 70 homes had to be evacuated. “We’re pretty happy we don’t have to take a duck boat to the reception,” a relieved Fischer joked a few hours before the nuptials. With the Owatonna area drying out, officials at the state’s Emergency Operations Center said
the focus Saturday included Zumbro Falls and Hammond in southeastern Minnesota, and St. Clair and Madelia in south-central Minnesota. Across the border, concern shifted to the rising Wisconsin River in central Wisconsin. A slow march of thunderstorms across southern Minnesota through central Wisconsin from Wednesday through
Friday dumped several inches of rain across the region. Storm totals between 5 and 7 inches were common, with 10.86 inches at Amboy in southcentral Minnesota. The governors of both states declared states of emergency. In Owatonna, a town of about 24,000 about 65 miles south of Minneapolis, Maple Creek, Turtle Creek and the Straight River were receding Saturday. Emergency Operations Manager Mike Johnson said he didn’t ex-
pect levels to rise, despite some rain in the forecast. In Wabasha County, Zumbro Falls and Hammond continued to report heavy flooding Saturday. Residents were evacuated from both cities Friday, and the Zumbro River was continuing to rise Saturday, officials said. The Post-Bulletin of Rochester reported that Zumbro Falls, where 180 people were forced to leave their homes, remained deserted Saturday. The newspaper also
reported on a dramatic rescue of horses in Zumbro Falls. Wading through floodwaters up to their chests, Lamar Johnson and his nephew, Matt Johnson, were able to free four horses that were tied up and surrounded by water. Matt Johnson tried to lead the horses through strong currents, but the horses pulled away and were swept downstream. Fortunately, the horses managed to swim to shore, where Lamar Johnson’s wife caught hold of them.

QUICKREAD Rangers clinch AL West title OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Texas Rangers clinched the AL West title Saturday and their first playoff berth in 11 years, beating the Oakland Athletics 4-3 on Jorge Cantu’s tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning. Players streamed from the Texas dugout after closer Neftali Feliz retired Cliff Pennington on a fly ball to left field for the final out with the potential tying run on second base. Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton, who has been sidelined with broken ribs for three weeks, hugged teammates and jumped up and down near third base as a mob of players celebrated. The Rangers became the second big league club to lock up a postseason spot this season, joining the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins. Texas is the only current major league franchise never to win a playoff series. The Rangers won three AL West crowns from 1996-99, their only postseason appearances, but lost in the first round to the New York Yankees each time. Cantu hit a solo shot in the eighth, his first home run since being traded from Florida to Texas on July 29, and the Rangers hung on.

UNC
Finally, Tar Heels squeeze out win Undermanned UNC gains first victory of season

lmost 24 hours later, the sting was still there. As Southern Lee Head Coach Tom Paris settled in Saturday afternoon to watch tape on next week’s opponent, Western Harnett, the hurt from the one that got away — a 21-14 loss to Westover on Friday night, was still just as fresh as it was when the lights were turned off at Cavalier Stadium. It should have been a win. Not just any win. It should have been the Cavs’ first win in 24 games — or a little over two years. It should have been Paris’s first win as Southern Lee’s head coach. It should have been a sign to everyone on the outside looking in that his program was headed in the right direction. It should have been proof that a grueling non-conference schedule, which included four 4A teams and the state 3A runner-up, wasn’t in vain. But it wasn’t. It was a loss, and a loss that tasted a lot more bitter than the first five of the year. “We beat Westover’s tails off,” Paris said. “We just didn’t win.” And he’s right. For the

drive. Mustafa Greene added a 5-yard scoring run with 4:08 remaining. Wilson also threw touchdown passes to Steven Howard and Jarvis Williams, who returned Asa Watson’s blocked punt for a touchdown in the first quarter. N.C. State gained 527 yards and scored its most points in the series with Georgia Tech. “Offensively, we played great,” said Wilson, who spent the offseason playing baseball in the Colorado Rockies’ farm system.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — T.J. Yates threw a go-ahead third-quarter touchdown and North Carolina’s defense made two late stands to lead the undermanned Tar Heels to a 17-13 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. Yates gave North Carolina (1-2) the lead with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Taylor as the Tar Heels avoided their first 0-3 start since 2003. Matt Merletti intercepted Tom Savage’s pass at the Tar Heels 6 with less than 3 minutes left. North Carolina forced Rutgers to turn the ball over on downs after the Scarlet Knights took over at the Tar Heels 34 with 2:21 remaining. Bruce Carter set up the Tar Heels other two scores with an interception and a blocked punt. The pick set up a 1-yard run by Johnny White and the block led to a 25-yard field goal by Casey Barth. Mohamed Sanu scored on a 10-yard run and San San Te kicked field goals of 32 and 39 yards for Rutgers (1-2) which was playing its first BCS opponent this season. North Carolina took the field with 12 players ineligible, including a total of seven starters on offense and defense, because of a continuing NCAA investigation. Unlike close 30-24 losses to LSU and Georgia Tech in its first two games, the Tar Heels found a way to win. Not only did they win, they overcame an early 10-0 deficit doing it. The big drive for the Tar Heels came on their first possession of the third quarter. Yates, who finished 22 of 30 for 204 yards and an interception, led them on a 14play, 80-yard march during which he converted on three

North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson (16) breaks into the open field field during the fourth quarter of a game against Georgia Tech in Atlanta Saturday.
Wilson, N.C. State overpower Georgia Tech ATLANTA (AP) — Russell Wilson and North Carolina State embarrassed Georgia Tech’s new 3-4 defense by posting a big 4-5 on the defending ACC champions. Wilson passed for a career-high 368 yards and three touchdowns and N.C. State answered Georgia Tech’s fourth-quarter rally to beat the Yellow Jackets 45-28 on Saturday and remain unbeaten. Wilson completed 28 of 41 passes and ran for a touchdown as North Carolina State (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) continued its best
start since winning its first nine games in 2002. Georgia Tech scored two quick fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 33-yard interception return by Jerrard Tarrant, to cut N.C. State’s lead to 31-28 early in the fourth quarter. Wilson responded by leading two touchdown drives. “The good thing is we went down and answered them,” said N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien. “Our offense answered every time they had to today. That was a real key.” Wilson threw a 23-yard scoring pass to T.J. Graham to cap a nine-play, 74-yard
SAS Championship
Cochran increases Champions Tour lead CARY (AP) — Russ Cochran shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday in the SAS Championship to increase his lead to four strokes, the largest 36-hole margin the history of the Champions Tour’s event. “I don’t have any experience with a four-shot lead so I don’t know what to expect,” Cochran said. “I’m sure I’ll have to be on my toes.” Cochran, the 51-year-old left-hander coming off his first victory on the 50-andover tour two weeks ago in South Korea, birdied the final two holes at Prestonwood Country Club to finish at 13 under. Ted Schulz (68) was second, and defending champion Tom Pernice Jr. (71) was 8 under along with John Cook (64) and Nick Price (69). “I played pretty solid today,” said Schulz, the
winner at Pebble Beach this month. “I probably could have putted just a little better.” Cook played the back nine in a tournament-record 8-under 27, eagling the par-4 14th and par-5 17th. “Yesterday, I just didn’t do anything very well,” said Cook, who spent time on the range after his first- round 72. “I must have found something that worked today.” After his record-setting nine holes, Cook, who started on No. 10, played even par on Prestonwood’s front nine. “The front side is just a hard nine holes of golf, and you kind of have to survive the front,” Cook said. “But I battled back. I didn’t want to let a really good round of golf go by the wayside.” Cochran also said the

SPORTS SCENE
Campbell falls to Florida Gulf Coast BUIES CREEK — Florida Gulf Coast scored a pair of first-half goals and went on to defeat the Campbell women’s soccer team 2-0 Saturday at the Eakes Athletic Complex. Florida Gulf Coast jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 4th minute. Olivia Elias played a through ball to Ashley Ciesielczyk on the left side of the field, who slid a pass to Brittany
Burt in the box, and her first touch found the open net. FGCU nearly scored again in the 30th minute, but Elias’s effort from 20 yards hit the crossbar and went out of play. In the 44th minute, Gina Petracco played a ball to Amanda Suchko down the left flank, and Suchko fired a left-footed shot past CU keeper Ryann Torrero into the up-
per left corner to double the Eagles’ advantage. Campbell (4-7-1, 1-2-0 A-Sun) threatened in the 50th minute when Pirjo Leppikangas sent a cross into the box, but Kaili Terry’s header was saved by diving FGCU keeper Stephanie Powers. Florida Gulf Coast (5-41, 2-0-1 A-Sun) outshot the Camels 13-4 and held a 7-3 advantage in attempts on target.
Point
ing the worst that could happen was a touchback, since kicks into the end zone cannot be returned in high school football. That’s not what happened. Instead, the ball was tipped at the line and scooped up by Hall, who took it all the way inside the Cavs’ five. Quarterback Henry Howard would punch in the game winner with 335 seconds left, dousing Southern’s hopes to lift its curse. Paris said if he had it to do over with, he would’ve punted and took his chances. “Hindsight’s 20-20,” he said. “I’m not going to beat myself up over it though. I did apologize to the team for it though. But Paris believes Friday’s game IS a sign that his team is headed in the right direction. Afterwards, his players were heartbroken to say
the least he said, a sign that they expected to win — for a change. “Our players were hurt, and that’s good,” he said of the mood in the locker room after the loss. “They were genuinely upset, because they knew how well we played.” He’s hoping the agonizing defeat, like the gauntlet of a schedule, has prepared his team for more than just a win. He wants a series of wins that culminate somewhere in the postseason. Which is why — by Saturday afternoon — he had moved on to watching tape of Western Harnett. “All we can do is concentrate on the present and be mindful of the past,” Paris said. “This week begins our playoffs. The easiest way for us to get in the playoffs is to win out.”

first time in recent memory, Southern Lee controlled the game — all except for a few key plays in the fourth quarter. Those key plays include a 62-yard punt return by Westover’s Marquies Hall, who basically took his team on his back in the final 10 minutes. He scored the game-tying touchdown, then set up the go ahead score in the game’s final minute. Then there were Southern’s three-straight penalties and fumbled snap that forced the Cavs from an easy chip shot field goal with the game tied to a virtual suremiss, no win situation at fourth-and-very-long on the 40 yard line. Paris opted to try a 56-yard field goal, think-

Harvick, Hamlin exchange words in garage at Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) — Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick tangled on the track, then got into a heated exchange in the garage during the first practice Saturday at Dover International Speedway. Hamlin and Harvick made contact during the opening laps of practice, with Harvick bumping Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota and damaging its right rear. Once the drivers returned to the garage, they got into each other’s faces before they were separated. Tempers quickly flared again and they went back to yelling at each other before they were broken up for good. Hamlin knew he’d be a target when he said Harvick’s crew made sarcastic comments toward him before practice. Hamlin, who said he expected ret-
ribution for comments toward another RCR team, said Harvick also got into him on pit road. “Of course, it’s unnecessary because it didn’t help either one of the race teams,� Hamlin said. Hamlin is in first place and holds a 45-point lead over Harvick in the points standings. Their stalls and haulers are next to each other in the garage. “I don’t know if he backed into Kevin or not,� Harvick team owner Richard Childress said with a smile. The dustup came a day after Hamlin blasted Clint Bowyer, saying Harvick’s RCR teammate was making excuses for why his winning car at New Hampshire failed a follow-up inspection. Hamlin also said there had long been rumors in the garage that Bowyer’s
team was pushing the legal limits of the car — something no other driver said they heard. “I spoke my mind yesterday and I felt like I said a lot of truth, and a lot of times that’s not popular with the teams that are involved,� Hamlin said. “That’s something I’ve always done is speak my mind. It’s not always in my best interests to do that.� Asked about Hamlin, Childress said on Saturday he’s learned not to get into an argument “with a skunk. And you don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.� Harvick declined to speak both before and after the drivers meeting for Saturday’s Nationwide Series race. Hamlin starts fourth and Harvick is 33rd in Sunday’s race.

Clausen squarely in spotlight in first start CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An inexperienced Jimmy Clausen is taking over at quarterback on a struggling team amid a swirl of attention and a long line of detractors. Sound familiar? Three years after being thrust into the starting job as a true freshman at Notre Dame after just one game, the winless Carolina Panthers waited two before giving the Clausen control of the offense for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar. There was a lot of tension being at Notre Dame and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of tension being here in Carolina,â&#x20AC;? said Clausen, who replaces the turnover-prone Matt Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be a fun
week.â&#x20AC;? Five days he turned 23, the former high school phenom and Notre Dame lightning rod will get his chance to prove the rest of the NFL wrong for bypassing him in the first round of the draft in April. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. The 48th overall pick is taking charge of an offense that has scored only two touchdowns and committed eight turnovers; has only one reliable receiver; hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run the ball as well as it did last year; and has protection issues. Plus heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing the Bengals (1-1), who ranked fourth in defense last season and held Baltimore to one touchdown in a 15-10 win last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can usually get

him frustrated and making bad throws. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big plus for us,â&#x20AC;? Cincinnati defensive end Antwan Odom said of facing a rookie QB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to frustrate him and get in his face. ... Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fairly jittery.â&#x20AC;? As the defending AFC North champions try to end a five-game road losing streak, the Panthers (0-2) have rallied behind the maturing Clausen, who has gone out of his way to say and do the right things after rumblings he was cocky and arrogant in college. His transformation has been noticeable to Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen, who was a senior at Notre Dame in 2007 when Clausen started nine

games as a freshman on a 3-9 team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three years at Notre Dame, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a maturity level that comes with that and being on the stage,â&#x20AC;? Jansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of humility that comes with having to be in there and fighting with guys.â&#x20AC;? But is he ready to start in the NFL after an underwhelming 16-18 record as a starter with the Fighting Irish? Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who is trying to get his own offense in gear this week, never got on the field as a rookie in 2003. Palmer said he made those inevitable rookie mistakes in Year 2 instead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The positive for Clausen is he will have experience going into his second year,â&#x20AC;? Palmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that experience I had to go through all those learning pains that rookies go

intercepted Joe Flacco four times last week, are ready to pounce. But after falling behind 30-3 to New England in Week 1 and winning last week despite being held without a touchdown, Cincinnati needs its own offensive spark. The tandem of Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens has been far from spectacular, and running back Cedric Benson has been held to 121 yards in two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want to get the running game going and get Ced going for us,â&#x20AC;? Ochocinco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The running game opens up the passing game and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where our success will come from.â&#x20AC;? While Palmer said â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;? keep all his strong-willed, flamboyant receivers happy, Clausen can only dream about having those kinds of targets. Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith has scored both of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchdowns, but no other receiver on the roster has more than two catches.

Seminoles shut out Deacons TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Christian Ponder threw for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Willie Haulstead and Florida State’s defense recorded its first shutout in more than two years as the Seminoles defeated Wake Forest 31-0 Saturday. Florida State (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 10-0 at halftime in a game delayed 42 minutes by lightning. The Seminoles, who led the nation with 13 sacks entering the game, added six more while
holding an opponent to fewer than 200 yards offense for the second straight week. Ponder, who was off to a slow start this season, completed 24 of 37 passes, exceeding 200 yards for the first time this season. He also ran for a touchdown. Wake Forest (2-2, 1-1) came into the game averaging 43.7 points, but giving up 43 points a game. Haulstead scored his first two career touchdowns on plays covering 10 and 4 yards.
Florida State’s final touchdown came on a 23-yard pass from EJ Manuel to freshman Kenny Shaw with 1:04 left in the game. Florida State rolled up 485 yards offense and limited Wake Forest to 185. Last week the Seminoles held BYU to 191 yards offense in a 34-10 win. It was a particularly sweet victory for the Seminoles, who were embarrassed in Wake Forest’s previous two visits to Tallahassee, outscoring the Seminoles 42-3.

thought they did a lot of the things we asked them to do this week in practice and they transitioned it well to the game. We were as physical as we had been all year long.” In the final four minutes of the game, the Camels (1-3) tied the game up at 21-21 with redshirt senior quarterback Daniel Polk sneaking in from seven yards out. Campbell junior running back Rashaun Brown had a career-day with 133 yards rushing. He became the fourth Campbell runner to ever eclipse the 100-yard barrier in a game. The Campbell offense was able to control the line of scrimmage and allowed the Camels to outgain the Panthers 271 to 123, with 257 yards coming on the ground. “We knew we had to run the ball, and we
asked our offense to do that,” Steele said. “We told the running backs and quarterbacks that since the Georgia State was so quick that holes were going open and close quickly and windows would do the same and they did things quickly.” Georgia State started the game with an opening kick return for a touchdown by Darren McCray that covered 96-yards to put the Panthers up 7-0 after the made extra point from Vance. The Camels answered as redshirt junior Milton Brown recovered a fumble on a punt return to put the CU offense in prime position on the Georgia State 17. The Campbell offense then reeled off a 17-yard drive finished on Polk’s 1 yard rushing score. Next, the Camels get back into Pioneer Football League play and takes on Butler on the road in Indianapolis on Saturday, Oct. 2 at noon.

Duke falls to Army on 4 turnovers By STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald-Sun
DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 losing streak on the football field stretched to three games Saturday when an onslaught of self-inflicted wounds brought down the Blue Devils. Duke committed five turnovers, two in its own territory during the first quarter, to fall behind Army and drop a 35-21 game before a crowd of 27,289 at Wallace Wade Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was rough,â&#x20AC;? Duke wide receiver Connor Vernon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have five turnovers today. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to win it from the offensive side of the ball.â&#x20AC;?

in in scoring offense (34 points per game) sputtered like it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all season. Two Sean Renfree interceptions set up two Army touchdowns, as the Black Knights led 21-7 at intermission. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-powered attack managed just 85 yards over the first two quarters. Two lost fumbles in the third quarter sealed Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this a long time,â&#x20AC;? Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of shocked me. Five turnovers? No way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to happen.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just that Duke (1-3) turned the ball over more than it had in any other game. It was where and when the miscues occurred that really made things easier for the Black Knights (3-1).
On Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third play from scrimmage, Renfree fired a pass into an area where multiple Army defenders were waiting. Linebacker Stephen Anderson intercepted and returned to the Duke 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was surely a letdown,â&#x20AC;? Renfree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bad read and a bad throw.â&#x20AC;? On the next play, Brian Cobbs scored on a 3-yard run for a 7-0 Army lead. Army drove to the Duke 16 on its next drive before defensive end Sidney Sarmiento blocked a field-goal attempt by the Black Knights. On the next play, with the Blue Devils feeling good, Renfree again threw a pass into coverage, where Army linebacker Donnie Dixon intercepted it and returned the ball to the Duke 5. It took two plays for
quarterback Trent Steelman to score on a 1-yard run to give Army a 14-0 lead with 5:37 left in the first quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sean wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as razorsharp as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His accuracy wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite there. We had people open all day. You saw what happened when we did hit them, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite there.â&#x20AC;? Duke drove 70 yards on eight plays late in the first quarter, with freshman Brandon Connette scoring on a 10-yard run to cut Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in half at 14-7. Army answered with a 57-yard drive in the second quarter, ended by a 4-yard touchdown run by Cobbs for a 21-7 halftime lead. Any Duke comeback attempts after intermission were squashed by two more turnovers.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said Wilson reclaimed his football form in a 30-19 win over Cincinnati on Sept. 16 and continued to gain momentum against Georgia Tech (2-2, 1-1). â&#x20AC;&#x153;A week ago and again today, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Russell weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to seeing,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue to get a lot better.â&#x20AC;? N.C.

third-down plays and also got a pass interference call on another third down to keep the drive alive. Taylor capped the march by bulling over on his 5-yard catch, although the officials reviewed the score when the ball came out of his hands near the goal line. He had crossed the plane of the end zone. A 46-yard kickoff return and a personal foul set up Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 39 yard field goal on the next series, but Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocked made it a fourpoint game with 9:34 to go. Rutgers seemed ready to add to the Tar Heels late woes when they drove from their own 22 to the North Carolina 23 with just over three minutes to play. After a 4-yard run by Jordan Thomas, Tom Savage threw a pass behind Sanu and Merletti interâ&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep them under 250 yards rushing is a great day,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. The win could help establish the Wolfpack as an early favorite in the league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find ways to win some games this year,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. Added Williams: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got something going here.â&#x20AC;? Linebacker Nate Irving led the defense with a career-high 16 tackles. The loss snapped Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streak of eight straight conference wins, including last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defeat of Clemson in the ACC championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Wilson) is a really

cepted the ball. On the Scarlet Knights final series, Tydreke Powell tipped a pass by Savage and had the last of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five sacks to all by end Rutgers hopes for a 3-0 start. Te kicked a 32-yard field goal and Sanu added a 10-yard touchdown run less than three minutes later to stake Rutgers to a 10-0 lead. The Sanu score was set by a 21-yard fumble return by linebacker Antonio Lowery after Taylor fumbled after catching a short pass. Rutgers had a chance to stretch the lead after taking over at the North Carolina 38 after a direct snap to the upback on a punt attempt was misplayed. The Scarlet Knights got a first down at the Tar Heels 17 and appeared ready to tack on points when Carter intercepted Savage and returned the ball to the Rutgers 28.
good player,â&#x20AC;? said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made plays and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We dug ourselves such a hold that we were always trying to get out.â&#x20AC;? After winning the ACC title, Johnson brought in Al Groh as the new defensive coordinator. The defense is still adjusting to Grohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-4 scheme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of 81 plays on defense, I only recall us making three plays of significance,â&#x20AC;? Groh said of two sacks by Brad Jefferson and an interception return for a touchdown by Jerrard Tarrant. The last time Georgia Tech gave up as many as 45 points in regulation in a home conference game was on Nov. 2, 1996, when Florida State took a 49-3 win at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Wilson had help from the Wolfpackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game. Dean Haynes had 18 carries for 75 yards and Greene had 13 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. Orwin Smith and Roddy Jones had touchdown runs for Georgia Tech. Joshua Nesbitt threw a 32yard touchdown pass to Tyler Melton in the fourth quarter. Nesbitt had 19 carries for 95 yards rushing. He completed only 5 of 18 passes for 116 yards. Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interception was the first thrown by Wilson this season. It was his first interception in 169 attempts in a streak that began last season. Wilson, a junior, set the NCAA record with 379 attempts without an interception in a streak that overlapped his freshman and sophomore seasons. Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interception gave Georgia Tech hope, but the Yellow Jackets couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the Wolfpack.

front nine is the harder of the two nines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first part of the golf course is unbelievably difficult,â&#x20AC;? said
Cochran, who will be paired with Cook and Schulz in the final group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first several holes are pretty demanding, and it keeps you off-balance.â&#x20AC;? Keith Fergus had a double-eagle 2 on the
17th, holing a 3-iron shot from 210 yards. He finished with a 64, leaving him eight strokes back at 5 under. Schwab Cup points leaders Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples also were 5 under after 68s.
Tour Championship
Furyk emerges with lead ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jim Furyk headed to the first tee Saturday in the Tour Championship and heard his father and coach, Mike Furyk, give him a simple instruction to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just play golf.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reminder he has uttered over the years not to get too caught up in mechanics or strive for the perfect swing, but to hit the ball, find it and get it in the hole as quickly as possible. That might not be bad advice for Sunday, either. Just play golf. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about the $10 million at stake. Furyk twice walked off a green happy to make bogey, made consecutive birdies late in his round that put him atop the leaderboard at East Lake and wound up with an even-par 70 for a one-shot lead over Retief Goosen and Luke Donald. That set the stage for a FedEx Cup finale that has never had so many possibilities. Furyk, Goosen and Donald all can win the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus by winning the Tour Championship, which comes with a $1.35 million prize of its own. So can Geoff Ogilvy, only three shots behind. Paul Casey and Charley
Hoffman, both within five shots of the lead, can win golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest payoff without even winning the tournament. And there are enough video boards along the back nine that players should have a pretty good idea what they need to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first part of the scenario is I have to win, and the rest of it I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control,â&#x20AC;? Furyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the idea, really ... it makes it very simple. I have to win tomorrow, and the idea is just to go out and do the best I can to do that.â&#x20AC;? Furyk was at 8-under 202, and a victory Sunday could be a real breakthrough. He has never won three times in a season, and his third PGA Tour title this year might warrant strong consideration for player of the year. Even so, Furyk is aware not only of how many players are behind, but how many possibilities exist. n A victory gives Furyk or Goosen the FedEx Cup as long as Casey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the runner-up or Hoffman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish third alone. n Donald can win the cup as long as Matt Kuchar, the top seed, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish second. Kuchar shot 72 and was
10 shots behind. n Ogilvy, who shot a 72 was three shots behind at 5-under 205, can win the $10 million provided Casey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t second, Hoffman isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t third and Kuchar doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a way to finish seventh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, we had an idea who was going to win, or who had already won,â&#x20AC;? Goosen said, referring to Tiger Woods in 2007 and 2009, and Vijay Singh in 2008 when the points system was such that the Fijian had already clinched the cup when he showed up at East Lake. It starts with playing well on Sunday, when the tee times will be early because rain is in the forecast that could dramatically change the fast, firm conditions of East Lake. And as Donald showed in the third round, it all can change so quickly. The Englishman was never out of the lead until he dumped his third shot into the bunker on the par-5 15th up the hill into a far corner of East Lake. He blasted out to about 12 feet, then ran his par putt 3 feet by. Donald hit the next putt too firmly to catch the grain, and he walked off with a shocking double bogey.

COLUMN: LETTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SET A SPELL
CREATING QUILTS IS PEGGYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MINISTRY
A
s a child growing up in the 1940s in the Mamers community in Harnett County, Peggy Moss learned to sew by watching her mother Alma Moss use an antique pedal sewing machine called a Treadle. Eventually Alma showed Peggy how to sit at the machine and pedal with her short feet as her small hands held the fabric in place. Back then Peggy felt the joy in watching material become dresses for her and her sister Faye and curtains for their home. She saw scraps turn into colorful quilts for beds and wornout towels become hot pads for the kitchen. Like mother, like daughter Peggy learned to make these items and followed in the footsteps of her ancestors to convey her creativity through sewing. Through the decades women have put their lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood into their quilts, first because they were vital for keeping them warm in cold winters when the fire in stoves went off at night, and later because this form of art allowed them to express their artistic talents. When Peggy had three daughters, Audrey Faye, Frankie Sue, and Wendy Carol, she enjoyed sewing clothes for them. She also made clothes for her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barbie dolls and blankets for their baby dolls, and other accessories. When a brain tumor in 1998 changed the course of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at age 61 she rehabilitated and longed to be more productive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

Then fabric pieces started coming into my house and I began making quilts featuring different designs,â&#x20AC;? Any beautiful tapestry begins with a single thread. With Peggy Moss Womack creating quilts started with a stirring in her heart to have more meaning in her life. Cutting out and sewing quilts were therapeutic activities that helped with healing body, mind, and soul. At first Peggy focused on making standard bed quilts for hours every day. She liked using the four large patch and the nine medium size patch layouts for queen and king size beds. Each Christmas Peggy would put family membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names in a hat and then draw a winner and then a name was removed. Her desire was that everyone whose name was in the hat would eventually get a quilt. One of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorites is a log cabin pattern featuring many different colors. She loves a technique called strip quilting.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of my scraps are wasted,â&#x20AC;? she said. Eventually Peggy started making smaller lap quilts. Then she and Franklin, along with help from several friends and family members, delivered them as gifts to neighbors and friends, and many to sick people who needed their spirits lifted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most have gone to rest homes, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes, hospitals, and shut-ins,â&#x20AC;? she said. One of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most rewarding projects was making 34 quilts for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward at UNC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, 17 for the girls and 17 for the boys. Peggy chose material that would be appropriate for each gender. She pointed out that a good friend Mildred Hanson helps her with the quilting and sewing. To date Peggy has given away more than 1,400 quilts. She never takes credit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she simply says â&#x20AC;&#x153;God Bless Youâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone Loves You.â&#x20AC;? On Feb. 8, 2008, Peggy called to express good wishes since I was born on her birthday. She and Franklin brought me a present â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lap quilt featuring butterflies. Somehow she had remembered that my engagement ring was shaped like a butterfly and some ideal fabric had come her way. I introduced Peggy to
my fiancĂŠ Michael Yarborough and gave her a copy of my newest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming Home to my Country Heart.â&#x20AC;? As she left we hugged each other and vowed to celebrate our mutual birthdays again. Peggy loves quilt designs so much that when she saw a feature about Yancey County Barn Designs on television she called a neighbor who has artistic talents, Phillip King, and asked him to make her a couple. Now they hang on the tobacco pack house, which is directly across from the Womacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
home, where she can view them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phillip immediately went to work and made my wishes come true,â&#x20AC;? Peggy said. Despite continuing health challenges Peggy still finds the energy to sew and expects to feel well enough to keep making quilts. During the past 12 years Peggy has brought meaning and magic to the lives of the recipients of her quilts. She believes that she will be healed of cancer and will continue her ministry of blessing others for many years.

BRIDGE HAND
Dog left home alone causes concern for worried owners DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a precious 2-year-old Boston terrier, “Bailey,” who is our life. We consider him our child and are heartbroken any time we must leave him alone. I am wondering if there is any way I could train Bailey to use a fire blanket in case of a fire if we’re not there. Bailey loves to burrow into blankets, so it’s not too much of a stretch. I couldn’t bear the thought of our little one not being able to help himself if he was locked in during a fire. Any suggestions? — BAILEY’S MOMMY IN TOM’S RIVER, N.J.

Your numbers are 7, 15, 26, 31, 38, 44, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concentrate on what you can do to improve your life, not on the negative aspects that have been slowing you down or causing you grief. You are generally an optimistic person and it’s time to shake off any bad vibes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emotional matters will escalate if you confront or are confronted by someone you are related to personally or professionally. Today may be a true test of what you have learned and are now capable of doing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Secret talks will help you sort out how you should handle anyone giving you the runaround. Once you have a clear picture of what’s actually going on, you can make adjustments that suit your own needs. Don’t take anything for granted. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Believe in your abilities and don’t let anyone put you down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting involved in a romantic adventure or discovering something about yourself that will enable you to make personal improvements should be on your agenda. A change in your financial situation can be expected. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Spending too much time at home will not help you get over any personal or emotional problems you’ve been plagued with. You have to be a participant. Reconnect with people you used to enjoy spending time with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be honest about your contributions and what you plan to do in the future. Don’t miss out because you refuse to see what you are doing to the people you care about most. Your connection to someone special may be reaching an irreversible turning point.

Extend a helping hand to someone you may have treated unkindly in the past and make amends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Don’t limit your options when there is so much you can accomplish by scheduling your time wisely. Everything and everyone in your life that means something to you can add positively and progressively, enabling you to acquire what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let anyone take advantage of your generosity. Partnerships will be unstable, especially if you have been having trouble relating to what’s expected of you. Consider who you do and don’t want in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A change in your financial situation is likely. Partnerships that are strained should be ended, if you cannot come to terms with what you both want. This is a make-it-orbreak-it time for you.
DEAR BAILEY’S MOMMY: I have two words for you: dog sitter! If there was a fire and you weren’t there, Bailey could die of smoke inhalation. A dog sitter is insurance that even in case of fire someone is around to ensure his safety. o DEAR ABBY: I am a 29-year-old woman with one child. Having always wanted to adopt, I looked into international adoptions and foster care adoptions. I also became a foster care provider for two years. I have always wanted to expand my family, but adoption is expensive and foster care wasn’t the right fit. My younger sister, “Caitlin,” married her abusive high school boyfriend and immediately became pregnant. She filed for divorce last year. Because he still

controlled her, they reconnected and she’s now pregnant with a second child. They are still divorcing, and this time she has no intention of reconciling. I would desperately love to adopt this baby. When I approached Caitlin about it she said allowing me to adopt her child would make her feel “too guilty.” How do I convey to her my great desire to adopt her child without making her feel like less than a parent? I wouldn’t feel so strongly if I thought she actually wanted this baby, but she acts like this pregnancy is a burden. — MATERNAL IN TULSA DEAR MATERNAL: Your sister is experiencing a difficult pregnancy for many reasons, so please do not pressure her. I’m sure she already knows how much you want a baby — so be supportive and let her know you are there for her. Period. o
DEAR ABBY: My supervisor “Valerie” is smart and beautiful. However she is a few pounds overweight. The problem is she thinks she can still squeeze into a size 8. You can tell she’s interested in looking professional and stylish by the clothes she picks out, but she still looks terrible. She is obviously in denial about her appearance, and her co-workers and underlings talk about her behind her back. Because Valerie is my supervisor, I do not feel comfortable telling her how unprofessional she really looks. I am surprised that none of her friends has told her (tactfully), or that her supervisor hasn’t told her how unprofessional it is that we all can see the outline of her underwear. The shame of it is that it’s hard to take Valerie seriously in her professional capacity when all one can think about is her clothes don’t fit. How does one approach such a subject with someone who isn’t really a friend? — GROSSED OUT AT WORK DEAR GROSSED OUT: If one is a subordinate, one doesn’t. Poor Valerie may be in denial about her weight gain, or she may be having trouble shedding the pounds. Someone who could have a word with her about it would be her supervisor — who might be inclined to do so if word reached her/him that Valerie’s attire was not only distracting, but has become a main topic of conversation in the office.

Wyoming man douses himself in paint to avoid Taser
Arrest made in ‘Where’s Waldo’ Ore. bank robbery
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A Cheyenne man who doused himself with white latex paint in hopes of avoiding a police Taser was hit with the stun gun anyway. The Taser chase happened Sept. 16, when Cheyenne police went to Brian Mattert’s house on a domestic violence call. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that when police arrived, Mattert thought they’d use a Taser on him, so he hastily covered himself in paint and told officers that if they shot him with the stun gun, he’d die. Officers told him the paint wouldn’t affect the Taser’s capability. According to police, Mattert scuffled with officers and was hit with a Taser twice before officers handcuffed him. He faces several criminal charges. Police say the officers’ uniforms had to be cleaned.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The FBI says it has made an arrest in an Oregon bank robbery after the suspect posted a claim of responsibility on Facebook. Spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele says Ryan Homsley was arrested Friday. She says investigators filed a complaint Wednesday in federal court, charging Homsley with Tuesday’s robbery at a Key Bank branch in suburban Tualatin. Steele says Homsley has been a hospital patient since Thursday and would be scheduled for a court appearance upon his release. A posting on Homsley’s Facebook page said “im doing this to pay for my medical expenses. ... live for today!” His brother has said Homsley has a serious drug problem and is a diabetic.
Aye Carumba! Mass. Bart Simpson statue stolen
Adult store clerk foils women ‘armed’ with toy gun
HOLBROOK, Mass. (AP) — Aye Carumba! A Bart Simpson statue has been stolen from outside of a Massachusetts restaurant. The three-foot tall, 75-pound ceramic statue sitting on a park bench outside of Leggos in Holbrook disappeared sometime Sunday, and management is having a cow. Owner Astrit Gorezi says the statue, which was chained down, was a popular topic of conversation with customers. He says he just wants it back. Gorezi brought the statue a few months ago for a few hundred dollars. Police are investigating, but so far have no suspects, not even Simpson’s nemesis, Sideshow Bob.
DUNCANSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Police said two women who tried to rob a central Pennsylvania adult book store with a toy gun didn’t fool a clerk, who told them to “get a real gun.” Authorities said 28-year-old Shannon Cheripka, of Glasgow, and 26-year-old Angela Crook, of Coalport, attempted to rob the Adult World store in Duncansville around 1 a.m. Thursday. Cheripka told police the clerk said, “First, if you’re going to rob someone, get a real gun. Second off, you’re not getting any money.” Authorities said the clerk chased away the women before police in nearby Logan Township arrested them in a van the clerk had described.

Turn to God to overcome addiction Q: I’m in drug rehab for the third time in a year. Nothing seems to work. I’ll think I’ve got it licked, and then I’ll fall back into my old ways. I promised my parents I’d write you, but I’m not even sure I believe in God. -- J.S.
A: More than anything, I want to assure you that God not only exists, but He loves you and wants to help you get on the right path. In fact, He cares about you even more than your parents do (or anyone else, for that matter). How do I know this? I know it because 2,000 years ago God came down from heaven and became a man -- and that man was Jesus Christ. Why did He come? He came to show us that God loves us, and He did this not only by helping those who were hurting but by sacrificing His life for our sins. If you had been the only person on earth who needed to be forgiven, Jesus Christ still would have died for you. God loves you that much! The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son” (John 3:16). What difference can Christ make? First, He’ll take away the emptiness and hurt that you’ve been trying to dull with drugs. Instead, He’ll give you a new reason for living and fill you with His presence. Second, He’ll give you a new love for others -and for yourself. In addition, He’ll help you fight temptation as you turn to Him for strength. Ask Him to come into your life today -- and He will.

bailouts and then opposing Democrats’ new Wall Street regulations. And in a debate earlier this month, California Sen. Barbara Boxer tore into the $21 million severance package that Republican challenger Carly Fiorina received after she was let go as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co. “I don’t think we need those Wall Street values right now,” Boxer said. There’s good reason for Democrats to try a blameWall-Street message as they scramble to avoid thumping losses on the campaign trail — the financial sector might be more unpopular than they are. The latest AP-GfK poll, conducted in mid-September, showed that Americans lay heavy blame for the Great Recession on the financial industry and lax regulation of banks. Bankers and financiers also
WENDELL (AP) — More than 600 people in Nash, Johnston and eastern Wake counties still have jobs because of provisions in a federal stimulus package that loosened underwriting rules for loans to companies in rural areas. Mortex, headquartered in Wendell, makes sportswear from raw materials and sells them under brand names such as Eagle to companies that print logos on them and sell them to colleges and universities across the country. The company employs 601 people at facilities in Wendell, Middlesex, Spring Hope and Princeton. Most of those jobs — 385 of them — are in Wendell. Mortex owner Ed Morrell met with U.S. Rep. Brad Miller last week to explain how the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development office helped work out the details for a loan that kept his company afloat. Morrell said his bank informed him in April 2009 that it would no longer extend a $3 million line of credit the company used for its daily operations. That notice gave Morrell about three months to secure another source of funding, but there weren’t many takers. Morrell met with several other lending institutions before calling on Capital Bank. Officials there were interested in working with Mortex, but said they couldn’t go it alone. Capital’s Todd Warwick suggested the company and the bank work on an application to the USDA. Under the terms of the deal, Capital Bank loaned Mortex $2.6 million on a 15-year note. The bank loaned the company an additional $500,000 on a 10-year note. The bank also extended a $750,000 line of credit, which Morrell says he does not plan to use. The loans are collateralized by the buildings and Morrell’s personal savings. Mortex didn’t borrow any money from the government, a point Morrell

Still lots to be proud of et’s face it, if you’re in the homebuilding industry, the last two years have not been banner ones. There were too many homes and not enough buyers to fill them. Loans were made to buyers that shouldn’t have been, and probably to builders that shouldn’t have had them either. There is good news out there though, especially for folks in Lee County. Nationally, consumer sales have remained steady and even gone up slightly in August. What does this indicate? For one thing, the longer sales and spending are stable or are trending upward, the less likely it is that we’re going to fall back into recession. Secondly, more consumer spending ultimately results in more corporate spending, either in hiring, raises, research, or dividends and profits. Thirdly, consumer spending creates sales taxes, which stabilize tax coffers, so government planners can budget better. So, while things don’t seem better, and they don’t feel better yet, the economy is improving, though most of us want it to happen immediately. We’re getting lessons in patience and perseverance. Another thing Lee County should be proud of is that it took until 2010 to see the number of foreclosures rise. Why is this good you are probably asking? An The Sanford Herald article in August showed that while in preceding years there had been roughly 240-250 foreclosures each year, through July 31, 2010, 199 foreclosures had occurred. If this rate remains linear for the rest of 2010, we would have roughly 340 foreclosures in Lee County this year. Hopefully, this won’t happen. The good news that I take from this is that housing in Lee County did not see a bubble and the decline in housing here wasn’t because of shady lending, or too high pricing, or rampant greed and speculation. The number of foreclosures here is a result of the economy, whereas in other parts of the country, early foreclosures were a sign that those areas were a cause of the downturn. The length of time it took for foreclosures to increase here means that people didn’t quickly lose value in their homes and get “upside-down” in their mortgages. People here have been battling, trying to make things work. For some homeowners, their ability to pay the

Dems try to deflect voter anger toward Wall Street By CURT WOODWARD Associated Press Writer
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Patty Murray was stuck. Down in the polls for months and facing a well-known Republican challenger, the three-term Democrat was finding a difficult market for her hard-working-senator sales pitch. Then she started bashing Wall Street and saying her opponent is in the pockets of bankers who want to repeal financial regulations. Now, less than a month before ballots are distributed in Washington’s vote-by-mail election, Murray is apparently benefiting from some old-fashioned class warfare. She has gone from essentially being tied with challenger Dino Rossi to leading in the latest round of polls, proving that the 2010 Democratic campaign theme of linking the GOP to Wall Street greed can resonate with voters. Murray started running
anti-Wall Street TV ads shortly before the August primary, criticizing Rossi’s advocacy of repealing new Wall Street regulations. She began airing another anti-Wall Street commercial this month, followed 10 days later by an ad that pledged support for middleclass tax breaks over favors for big business. One of the ads declares that Rossi is “not on our side” for his stance on Wall Street regulations. Voters in several competitive Senate races are hearing similar arguments. Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak and Republican candidate Pat Toomey have sparred over allegiance to the financial sector — Sestak supported the federal bank bailouts, while Toomey once worked in investment banking. In Missouri, Democrat Robin Carnahan has criticized Republican Rep. Roy Blunt for helping to negotiate bank

ey, reader! Are you a member of the Chamber of Commerce? (If not, please read this column, then quickly get to our website and fill out a membership application!) Are you taking advantage of one of the Chamber’s best value-added programs — Chamber Bucks Gift Certificates? If you are, great. Your business is getting extra exposure to potential customers and, hopefully, additional sales. Thank you for being a part of this program!
If you are not taking advantage of this program, you need to. And now is the best time to try it out because the Chamber is offering it to you at no additional cost right now. The program is simple. All you have to do is let your Chamber
office know that you want to participate in the Chamber Bucks program. We’ll add you to our list of participating merchants and include you in our upcoming Shop LocalLee marketing campaign. Customers (typically local industries who purchase the gift certificates in large quantity for employee awards and Christmas presents) purchase Chamber Bucks at our office and receive a list of places they can now spend

made in a meeting with employees. The deal calls for the USDA to guarantee 80 percent of the loans. That means if Mortex defaults, the USDA would pay Capital Bank 80 percent of the loan balance. And because the loans are fully collateralized, Capital Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposure is limited. That puts the pressure on Morrell and his family, which owns the privately held company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Morrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife)

Kissie and I are on the hook,â&#x20AC;? Ed Morrell told employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we fail, we lose everything we have.â&#x20AC;? At one point last year, Morrell was concerned that would happen. He said he had met with a bankruptcy attorney as he struggled to find a bank to work with him. The loans provide cash for the company, which has a $242,000 payroll, to manage its daily operations. Without that liquidity, Mortex wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to make payroll, manage its inventory or take care of other routine obligations.
Mortex is an anomaly in the U.S. textile industry. While most companies have closed or moved overseas, the Morrells have committed to a domestic operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get e-mails on a daily basis from people who want us to move our operation to Pakistan or India, but we want to be here,â&#x20AC;? said company president Brian Morrell. The domestic operation means goods cost more than other manufacturers charge, but Ed Morrell points out that his company can provide a quicker turnaround time for customers than
his competitors can. That kind of service generates the customer loyalty Mortex depends on. The Mortex deal has become a poster child for the USDA, which touts the arrangement as an example of how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has not only created jobs, but saved others. Miller made that point to Mortex employees during his visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you hear of people who say the stimulus package never saved a job, you can look at them and tell them it saved yours,â&#x20AC;? Miller said.
Once you have redeemed a certificate, bring it to the Chamber and we refund you for the entire amount. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy. Already have a gift certificate or gift card program of your own? This in no way competes with it. Instead, our program enhances yours.
Chamber Bucks simply create more opportunities for customers to shop with you. Who should participate in the program? Everyone! Restaurants and retailers are the obvious choice, but anyone can accept Chamber Bucks. Dry cleaners, accountants, car repair shops. You name it. If you have a product or service for which you charge, you can accept Chamber Bucks. Even nonprofits should participateâ&#x20AC;Śyou never know when a Chamber Bucks recipient simply wants to donate their certificate to a favorite charity or civic organization. The Chamber will
start marketing Chamber Bucks to local industry this October, so sign up now to be sure you are included when they start purchasing. Finally, dear reader, if you have read all of this and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Chamber member and you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a business owner, but maybe just a shopper looking for the perfect gift, look no further. Visit the Chamber website today (www.sanfordnc.com) to see a list of participating Chamber Bucks merchants. And, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see your favorite retailer or restaurant, pick up the phone, call them up and tell them to sign up for Chamber Bucks!

But as an investment possibility, gold has some â&#x20AC;&#x153;scratchesâ&#x20AC;? to it. First of all, contrary to what you may believe, gold prices do not always go up; instead, they will fluctuate, sometimes greatly. Furthermore, there are specific risks with the different ways of investing in gold. If you bought a gold futures contract (an obligation to buy gold at a predetermined future date and price), you could lose money if gold falls, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be obligated to complete your contract at the higher, agreed-

You need to do a lot of research before investing in gold mining companies, because some of these companies may still be in the goldexploring stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee their explorations will lead to profitable discoveries. Also, even when its price is considerably lower than it is today, gold is still a fairly expensive investment compared to other choices. It can be costly to go into the gold futures market.

Tapping into the anger, Democrats from President Barack Obama on down have been trotting out the blamethe-banks banks mantra as they fight to maintain control of Congress and deflect voter irritation with party. Democrats need Murray to win to keep the Senate, especially if they surrender seats elsewhere as expected. With several weeks left in an already bruising campaign, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blameWall-Street strategy will provide lasting help. But Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign appears to have rebounded at least temporarily from a difficult summer of ratings below 50 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very dangerous territory for any incumbent, especially when insider credentials and Washington clout are no longer strong selling points. A series of polls in recent weeks has put her above 50 percent. Rossiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign has a large fundraising disadvantage, crimping its ability to counter Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multimillion-dollar ad buying power.

a variety of investments suitable for your financial objectives. Market downturns often affect one type of asset class more than another, so if you can spread your dollars among a variety of asset classes, you can help blunt the effects of volatility. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss. In coping with volatility, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also help yourself by taking a longterm view of your investmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance. If you look at your investment statement for a given month, you might not like what you see. But holding your investments for the long term may help your portfolio better weather the ups and downs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encounter in the investment world. So try to avoid the allure of gold as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick fixâ&#x20AC;? to whatever seems to be ailing the financial markets at a particular time. Other investments may be less glitzy and glamorous than gold, but they can have their own sparkle.

chose to run soft ads at first,â&#x20AC;? said Vance, who is not working on the Senate race. Rossi has since replied more forcefully, with a TV ad citing Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wall Street bailout vote as part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;an 18-year record of taxing, spending and growing government thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indefensible.â&#x20AC;? Rossiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign also points out that Murray has collected plenty of campaign checks from Wall Street donors and other big-business supporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Sen. Murray is as disgusted with Wall Street money as her ads imply, she should return the nearly $555,000 she has received from the securities and investment industryâ&#x20AC;? over her career, Rossi spokeswoman Jennifer Morris said. Murray and Rossi have both taken Wall Street donations, albeit on very different scales. Data from the Center for Responsive Politics shows Murray has raised nearly $200,000 from securities and investment employees, their spouses, and industry political action committees during this campaign cycle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 1.7 percent of Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total campaign haul of nearly $11.8 million. The totals come from federal reports through late July. Rossiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign has raised only about $97,000 from financial-industry sources. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 4.8 percent of his total raised, nearly $2 million through late Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reports to the Federal Election Commission. and work.

Well, like it or not, people use SAT scores to evaluate â&#x20AC;&#x153;opportunityâ&#x20AC;? for their children to get a quality education. For highly educated parents, it is probably one of the first numbers they ask for from a school system. So, there are some good things going on here, and signs of a better future. If we have health, friends, family and faith, everything else is gravy.

n his classic, Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush, Alexander Maclaren has a moving chapter entitled “His Mother’s Sermon.” The young minister, a recent graduate of Edinburgh, had arrived at his first pastorate with his four wagonloads of furniture and a maiden aunt who would serve as his housekeeper. On that first Friday afternoon he was working on the manuscript of what would be his first sermon at the church two days later on Sunday. As he and his aunt sat before the fireplace, both of them were thinking of an incident that had taken place five years earlier when they both knelt by the bedside of his dying mother. His mother’s last words of counsel to her young son were these: “There will not be an hour when I’ll not pray for you. If God calls you to the ministry, you’ll not refuse, and the first day you preach in your own church, speak a good word for Jesus Christ.” That should be the primary goal of every minister of the

Sanford couple takes blue ribbon at BBQ and Blues By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Cooking barbecue ribs can take up to five hours. Shoulders usually take about nine hours. It’s a time consuming process, but it paid off for Sanford couple Chase and Allison Goodwin, who scored two of the top prizes Sept. 10-11 at the Time Warner Cable BBQ and Blues competition in Charlotte. The Goodwins’ Lucky Dog team claimed first place prizes in the Pork Ribs and Boston Butt categories. The couple won first place for ribs once before at a 2009 competition, but the 2010 BBQ and Blues

competition marked the first time they took home two firstplace trophies. “This time it was special because we heard our names called again,” Chase Goodwin said. The BBQ and Blues event is an annual barbecue competition that also features blues music and beer samples. The competition features two tracks: The Memphis Barbecue Network, a more intense competition for serious barbecue enthusiasts and professionals, and the Backyard Grillers, which aims to draw local participants at varying experience levels and follows different rules. This year’s competition
had about 80 teams vying for top honors. The Goodwins participated in the Backyard Grillers competition. Allison Goodwin said during the many hours it took to cook their meat, they were able to chat and bond with other participants. “It’s like a big hangout in your backyard,” Allison Goodwin said.

BEACONS OF BUCKHORN nce upon a time … 1952 to be exact … a lovely and lively girl Peggy Moss of Mamers met a handsome and charming boy Franklin Womack of Broadway. They fell in love, married, and lived happily ever after. While this sounds like a fairy tale, Peggy and Franklin have continued their love affair and created a kingdom of spiritual riches related to home and happiness. Together the couple has served as a beacon of light in Buckhorn community for more than 50 years. During this time Peggy and Franklin have dealt with joys like the birth of their three daughters, Audrey Faye, Frankie Sue, and Wendy Carol; five grandchildren;
Good barbecue to me is cooking the meat for a long time at a low temperature, and that time allows you to bond with the other people. Being outside and smelling the smoke adds a dynamic you can’t get in the kitchen.”

and five great-grandchildren. Recently the couple renewed their wedding vows at Baptist Chapel Church where about 250 family members and friends gathered to celebrate the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and contributions to others. The saga began as Peggy and Franklin grew up on tobacco farms about 14 miles apart. Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Helen Thomas was spending the night, and Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend showed up with his friend Franklin. Both boys came in to meet Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, Russell and Alma Moss, who were impressed with Franklin and allowed their 15-year-old daughter Peggy to go out on a date with him and the other couple. Peggy recalls that Franklin told her she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful,â&#x20AC;? however, she thought he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sillyâ&#x20AC;? but she accepted the second invitation. Later Franklin was tipped off that another guy was going to take Peggy out so Franklin rushed down to Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Both went inside. Peggy said she was sitting between the two boys and tried to talk to both. Franklin sat quietly and finally the other guy left. Then Franklin said to Peggy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, wanta go out for a Coke?â&#x20AC;? Franklin and Peggy frequented a little burger joint in Jonesboro called the Milky Way, located where the Landmark Restaurant is now. Peggy thought Franklin was â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;? because he would tell the folks to put the bill on his tab. Actually Franklin had loaned the owner, Lynn Todd, some money and he paid Franklin back with meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he was a big spender,â&#x20AC;? Peggy joked. Across the street from the Milky Way was Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewelers, owned by Allen Johnson, where Franklin purchased a Bulova watch for Peggy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like our marriage the watch is still working today,â&#x20AC;? Peggy commented.
About two years later Franklin bought a Keepsake engagement and wedding ring set from Johnson for Peggy, who was in the tenth grade at Boone Trail High School. Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty and personality inspired classmates to choose her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Boone Trailâ&#x20AC;? in 1953, and she also won the title of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Lee County Fairâ&#x20AC;? in 1954.
ARMY AND MARRIAGE In February 1955, Franklin answered the call of duty in the U.S. Army and was stationed first at Camp Gordon in Augusta, Ga.. His parents, Sidney and Eva Womack, his brother Sidney Jr., and two sisters, Jenny Lou â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snooksâ&#x20AC;? Womack and Lois Parson, and Peggy visited him. Soon Franklin was transferred to Fort Bliss in Texas. After graduation Peggy traveled with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Evaâ&#x20AC;? and his brother, John Bernice, to El Paso, Texas, to visit with Franklin who then pleaded with Peggy to marry him. They were wed on Tuesday, June 7, 1955, at Chapel # 3 with Eva looking on, John Bernice as the Best Man, and Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army buddy Joseph Wills as the witness. Franklin said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;went AWOL the next day so that we could have a honeymoon.â&#x20AC;? At roll call one of Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buddies covered for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one ever knew the difference,â&#x20AC;? he added. Franklin was serving guard duty the next day, but he told his Sergeant that he needed to talk to the chaplain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smart thinking,â&#x20AC;? Franklin pointed out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because they had to let you see the chaplain.â&#x20AC;? Franklin visited the chaplain, then went to Peggy at the honeymoon site off base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we were able to spend another night together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It broke my heart to leave him,â&#x20AC;? Peggy said. Meanwhile, Peggy had sent a letter to her parents explaining the marriage. When she arrived home, she asked her Mama and Daddy about the letter.
They had not been to the mailbox. So Peggy read the letter to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Daddy hit the ceiling,â&#x20AC;? she said, but her Mama calmed him down. Peggy lived with her parents and worked at Central Carolina Bank in Jonesboro. Before Christmas, Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and brother Sidney Jr. asked Peggy to go shopping in Fayetteville. Peggy was surprised when they went to pick up Franklin at the bus station. Franklin vowed he would not leave his bride again so the couple said their good-byes on Christmas Day 1955, got in their 1954 Ford Fairlane, and headed for Fort Lewis in Seattle, Washington. The couple made it as far as Utah and had a flat tire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During those days the owners of gas stations lived upstairs above their business, so the man was nice enough to fix the flat for us,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. In Washington the couple lived in an apartment and later purchased an 18-foot camper trailer and moved it into a mobile home park there.
FAMILY AND CHURCH After Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active Army duty ended in February 1957, the couple pulled the trailer back and anchored it across the road from his home place, about three miles from Broadway. He dived into farming on family land, and Peggy worked in the office at Fort Bragg. As the couple reared their three daughters, Audrey Faye, Frankie Sue, and Wendy Carol, they built an addition to their trailer. Audrey and Frankie graduated from Broadway High School and Wendy went to Sanford Central High School, now known as Lee Senior. In the Womack home God was the focal point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church was our second home,â&#x20AC;? Peggy said. Frankie said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember that church was a very big part of our lives. We always attended any service or event at Baptist Chapel Church.â&#x20AC;? For many years Peggy
M
directed the Baptist Chapel Youth Choir and Franklin was always there to help her. They planned special trips for the young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We visited the shut-ins and sang to them and had prayer with them,â&#x20AC;? Wendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great example that they lived out in front of us and it has made an impact on my life just like it has for many of the other Youth Choir members,â&#x20AC;? Wendy added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got old enough to date and came in past our curfew on Saturday evenings, we were still expected to get up and be at church on Sunday morning. At that time, we thought our parents were being so unfair to us but later in life, we realized the strong moral values that were instilled in us,â&#x20AC;? Frankie said. All three daughters love music. Audrey, Wendy, and a cousin Denise Howard (now Hall) created The Three Inspirations. They sang at lots of churches, especially revival services and homecoming. When Wendy was about age two or three â&#x20AC;&#x153;we came home from choir practice one night and I started playing the song that the choir had been singing that night on the piano. Moma and Daddy heard me and recognized the tune. If Moma would sing it to me I would play it,â&#x20AC;? Wendy said. The three daughters continue to be involved in musical pursuits and their children are, too. Audrey lives in Greensboro where she serves as a missionary to international college students. She is coordinating the Christian non-profit Piedmont International Fellowship and serves as speech-language pathologist with various agencies. Frankie works as Operations Manager for Waste Management. She has two daughters, Dana Kennedy Pomeranz and Kasey Kennedy Sanders, and three grandchildren, Ian and Sydney Pomeranz and Reese Sanders.

ILLNESS AND QUILTING Through the years Peggy said the family has experienced mostly good times, but she has faced major health challenges since 1998. That year Peggy was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor but the surgery affected her hearing, sight, speech, and mobility and caused numbness in the right side of her face and eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to learn to walk, talk, and write again,â&#x20AC;? she commented. During her illness Peggy has made about 1,400 quilts and given them away. (See this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Set a Spellâ&#x20AC;? column about Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quilting ministry at sanfordherald.com) In February 2009 medical tests discovered spots on her brain but cancer was not diagnosed until June 2009 when cells in the brain and lung area were tested as malignant. Surgery, laser Cyber Knife radiation, and chemotherapy were used to attack the cancer but Peggy still lives with a lot of discomfort.
blue 1950s jacket accented with a yellow lapel rose plus white lace-up shoes. Audrey, Frankie and Wendy dressed in poodle skirts that were popular in the 1950s. Peggy and Franklin spoke their vows in the new sanctuary at Baptist Chapel Church with the Rev. Alex Smith presiding. Photographs of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life appeared on a large screen in the pulpit. Afterwards folks gathered in the fellowship hall and enjoyed bottled drinks, nabs, peanuts, MoonPies, and hot dogs with the trimmings. The anniversary cake looked like a MoonPie. Festivities including singing and dancing to the music from several eras. Franklin noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;I married the queen. She deserves the best,â&#x20AC;? he said. Members of the church have not forgotten the contributions of Peggy and Franklin Womack. Since Peggy is unable to attend church services, the entire senior Sunday School class meets at the Womack home each week from 10 to 11 a.m. People from the church and community deliver supper every night. They remember that this couple fed them spiritual food and well as culinary treats for many years. Today the Womack home place bustles with folks, food and fellowship. Now it is time for family, friends, neighbors, and church members to give back to this extraordinary couple. Their light continues to shine in Buckhorn community and beyond.
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Fighting for her life and appreciating her caring husband Peggy decided to renew their marriage vows. The daughters became excited about the idea of hosting a second wedding and reception for their parents at the home church. For the ceremony Peggy donned a pale yellow vintage dress featuring a full skirt, a matching yellow hat with a short veil, and white gloves and carried a bouquet of yellow and white silk roses. Franklin wore pale yellow slacks, blue tropical design shirt, and a powder

HEADACHES I knew that something was wrong because of the pain in my lower Back. On May 31st, 2010, I had to go to the emergency room because the pain was so sever that I could not walk. They did a CAT scan and said nothing was wrong. They gave me some pain medicine that did not take the pain away. I was using crutches so that I could walk. My friend at church told me that I should go to Dr. Ammons. He was the chiropractor who had been helping her and her husband for years. I had an appointment to go to see the orthopedist who had said that he would send me to a surgeon. I did not want surgery, I ďŹ nally took my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and called the Dr. Ammonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ofďŹ ce. I had taken my records with me (MRI,CAT, and X-rays). Dr. Ammons said that he would review my records and would tell me the next day if he thought that he could help me. He thoroughly and clearly explained to me what was wrong and the procedures that would be used to correct it. On Thursday, June 29th, 2010, I began my treatments. On Friday, June 30th, I had already noticed a difference. I have been improving ever since without surgery. They are kind, friendly, and very professional. I was so glad that I chose to call Dr. Ammonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clinic instead of having surgery.

Walter Breuning talks about his life at the Rainbow Retirement Community in Great Falls Mont. Breuning believed to be the world’s oldest man celebrated his 114th birthday, Tuesday.
World’s oldest man turns 114
GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana resident believed to be the world’s oldest man celebrated his 114th birthday Tuesday at a retirement home in Great Falls. Walter Breuning was born on Sept. 21, 1896, in Melrose, Minn., and moved to Montana in 1918, where he worked as a clerk for the Great Northern Railway for 50 years. His wife, Agnes, a railroad telegraph operator from Butte, died in 1957. The couple had no children. Breuning inherited the distinction of being the world’s oldest man in July 2009 when Briton Henry
Allingham died at age 113. Allingham had joked that the secret to long life was “Cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women — and a good sense of humor,” according to Guinness World Records. The Guinness organization and the Gerontology Research Group each have verified Breuning as the world’s oldest man and the fourth-oldest person. Three women were born earlier in the same year as Breuning. Robert Young, senior consultant for gerontology for Guinness World Records, presented Breuning with a copy of the book’s 2011 edition that lists him as the record holder.
“Walter wasn’t in last year’s edition,” Young joked. “He was too young.” The Great Falls Tribune reported that Breuning gave a speech before about 100 people at an invitation-only birthday party at the Rainbow Retirement Community, with a guest list that included Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer and representatives from Guinness World Records. Breuning was helped up to a lectern from his motorized cart, appearing somewhat frail but speaking with a strong voice. He recalled “the dark ages,” when his family moved to South Dakota in

1901 and lived for 11 years without electricity, water or plumbing. “Carry the water in. Heat it on the stove. That’s what you took your bath with. Wake up in the dark. Go to bed in the dark. That’s not very pleasant,” he said. He said men and women may be able to enjoy life, but they can’t be content without a belief or faith. His parting message to the crowd was one of tolerance. “With all the hatred in this world, in this good world, let us be kind to one another,” Breuning said. Breuning has celebrity status at the retirement home, with visitors waiting in line to see him, Ray Milversted, 92, told the Tribune. Tina Bundtrock, executive director of the Rainbow, said the home has adopted a policy of scheduling visits with Breuning by appointment, so he’s not taxed by people dropping in to see him.

North Carolina is soon to become a state with ten million citizens and the tenth most populous state in the U.S. The needs of our state for schools, prisons, roads and a myriad of other things is financed by a 19-20 billion dollar budget which comes 46 percent from personal income tax, 5 percent from corporate tax, 27 percent from sales and use tax, 7 percent federal funds and 13 percent other taxes.

C. Other District and Rotary International events were also mentioned.

The day’s fifty-fifty raffle of ten dollars was won by P. J. Patel. Leslie Cox, Rotary Assistant District Governor, introduced our current Rotary District Governor, Wes Patterson, a former President of the Thomasville Rotary Club, and also recognized wife Linda Patterson, today attending the 47th of the District‘s 52 clubs with her husband and dutifully supporting his presentations. Wes served in the Air Force from 1962 to 1966, then worked in the Department of Defense for six years, prior to entering the private sector, and has traveled widely in his career and seen poor living conditions in many third world and emerging countries. As a result he now communicates a passion for the Rotary International mission of eradicating polio worldwide. He is very proud of recent successes in the Rotary Polio Plus campaign. A more effective vaccine dropped in a child’s mouth has resulted in noteworthy drop in case numbers in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Nigeria — from 655 cases recognized last year to only 85 to date in 2010 in all four countries. In two provinces of India the number has dropped from 270 cases of polio to none, and Nigerian cases have dropped from 350 cases to six today. About 220,000 people have assisted in these vaccinations, and in one week alone over 137 million children were vaccinated. This is a major effort among many peoples of the world, led by Rotarians worldwide. Bill Gates has recognized the worth of this effort and has recently offered funds of $355 million to Rotary’s Polio Plus Campaign , $200 million to be matched over three years by Rotarians. To date 145 million has already been raised. A second passion of Wes Patterson is the work of the Rotary Foundation, funded by various types of Rotary membership — sustaining, Paul Harris Fellow, and benefactor. Over 266,000 children in Africa have been given $20 prosthetic fittings, mosquito netting has been supplied to help combat malaria, and 250,000 wheelchairs have been provided — all examples of projects

dogs, one a shelter animal and one a stray, and we just fell in love with them,â&#x20AC;? Chase Goodwin said of their canine companions. The Goodwins started seriously competing about three years ago and usually participate in four or five competitions a year throughout the Southeast. They arrived at their first competition armed with a basic smoker from Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Improvement and won seventh place in the ribs category out of 48 teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hooked then,â&#x20AC;? Chase Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were nervous leading up to it, but then it was just like we were cooking at home.â&#x20AC;? Chase Goodwin trained with renowned barbecue professional Myron Mixon of Georgia-based Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old South. Mixon also serves as a judge on the TLC show â&#x20AC;&#x153;BBQ Pitmasters.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He showed me what judges are looking for in the texture of the meat and what flies in presentation,â&#x20AC;? Chase Goodwin said. Mixon may have taught him technique, but the sauces and flavoring the Goodwins infuse in their barbecue were a concoction all their own. Chase Goodwin

said finding the perfect flavor was a process of trial and error, discovering the best taste and then strengthening and weakening amounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good barbecue doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need barbecue sauce,â&#x20AC;? Allison Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flavor is in the meat.â&#x20AC;? The Goodwins begin the Backyard Grillers competition by preparing and trimming the meat, which the judges inspect before any sauces or spices are added. They then inject flavorings and cook the meat at a low temperature for hours, sometimes an all-day process. When the barbecue is complete, they submit it for blind judging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the judging is also the setup, looking at the grill and how you cook it,â&#x20AC;? Allison Goodwin said. Though they are excited about their two first place wins, the Goodwins agree that one of the best parts of the competition is the camaraderie that comes from cooking with fellow barbecue enthusiasts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good barbecue to me is cooking the meat for a long time at a low temperature, and that time allows you to bond with the other people,â&#x20AC;? Chase Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being outside and smelling the smoke adds a dynamic you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the kitchen.â&#x20AC;?

gospel. It is good to keep in mind that the Christian faith began not as dogma, or as a philosophy, or even as a new way of life. Rather, it began with a real, living, fleshand-blood man. As Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gospel puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Word became flesh.â&#x20AC;? Thus, Jesus, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniquely-born Son, can no more be dethroned than the sun can be dethroned. With whom did the disciples of Jesus compare Him when He asked them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who do men say that I the son of man am?â&#x20AC;? They replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some say that you are John the Baptist; some say that you are Elijah.â&#x20AC;? There were never

When the third group of soldiers arrived the captain pleaded with Elijah to be spared and the Lord told the prophet to grant them life and to go with them to see the king. When Elijah presented himself to the king, he told him THE EXACT SAME WORDS he had spoken to his messengers. Neither

two more rugged or fearless characters in the entire history of Israel than these two men. Artists have often depicted Jesus as a pale, ghostly, sickly, emaciated man. This depiction is totally unlike what the Puritans called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the stormy north side of Jesus.â&#x20AC;? When occasion required it, He could be implacable, stern, rugged, and immovable. At times His eyes flashed with anger and His words were awesome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You vipers,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;you serpents,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;you white-washed sepulchersâ&#x20AC;? were words He hurled at the scribes and Pharisees. He totally disliked hypocrisy. Yet, to sinners He often said things like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your sins are forgiven. Go your way and sin no more.â&#x20AC;? Because He refused to compromise His message He saw
the multitudes of people who followed Him slowly drift away. On one occasion he asked His disciples sadly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will you also go away?â&#x20AC;? This did not stop Him from moving forward. He kept His eye on His divinely assigned mission and went all the way to Calvary. When Christianity has been like Him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bold, adventurous, courageous, challenging, totally committed to its divinely assigned mission in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it has been irresistible. As Alfred Lord Tennyson described Him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace . . .â&#x20AC;?
soldiers nor royal hatred would intimidate him to change his words; they were not his words to change, they were the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Nothing changes the Word of God. As our text today says, it is settled forever in heaven. God is not a man that He would change his mind. He cannot be persuaded, manipulated, bought off or intimidated. Time will not change His truths for they are timeless. He cannot get more information such that He would correct or revise what He has said for He knows everything there is to know and even what will ever remain unknown. Trends or cultural shifts or public opinion polls will never
cause Him to recant one single word of what He has uttered. Theologians or preachers can reinterpret or misinterpret what Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word says but it still stands the same. His Word never changes! It is precisely because His perfect word never changes that we should be learning all that it says and anchoring our lives to its timeless truths. Every day a scientist makes a new discovery that reveals the old one to be obsolete; a politician changes his position; your boss changes his mind or your job description; your friends change their mind about you â&#x20AC;Ś BUT GOD NEVER CHANGES.
