Effort under way to find homes for pets deemed ‘hard to adopt’ By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

ou wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but a 5-year-old coonhound named Cisco hasn’t had an easy life. A large black and white dog with a brown splotch over his right eye and a lopsided smile on his face, Cisco is the picture of happiness. He’s laid back, friendly and gets along well with children and other animals, but for one reason or another, Cisco can’t find a home. He arrived at Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption as a stray in December 2009, but while younger, “prettier” dogs ONLINE have gone on to their perSee more manent homes, Cisco has photos of dogs remained at the shelter. and cats in “Now here it is Septemneed of good ber, and he’s ready for a homes at home and can’t find one,” sanfordherald.

Petfinder provides a list showing how many page hits each of the CARA animals get on Petfinder.com. Lindauer said Cisco is almost always at the bottom. In addition to his breed, his age works against him. Most people who contact CARA are interested only in young animals. “The majority of our less adoptables are adults or strangely marked,” Angela Conway of CARA said. “People sometimes don’t take the time to get to know their personalities. They go straight for the puppies or kittens.” A strangely marked animal Conway has seen overlooked too many times is Maudie, a 4-year-old cat with a black and orange WESLEY BEESON/The Sanford Herald speckled coat.

CCCC: PITTSBORO CAMPUS

College celebrates new ‘green’ buildings By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

PITTSBORO — Chatham County and Central Carolina Community College celebrated “an exciting and momentous day” Sept. 20, as CCCC President Bud Marchant expressed it. A crowd estimated at more than 600 county residents, college and elected officials, and other dignitaries gathered at the college’s Chatham County Campus for the ribbon cutting and open house for the college’s new Sustain-

Vol. 80, No. 221 Serving Lee, Chatham, Harnett and Moore counties in the heart of North Carolina

able Technologies Center and the joint county-college Chatham Community Library. Marchant welcomed the crowd for the historic occasion. He credited the completion of the new buildings to the members of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners, their willingness to provide the funding for them and their vision in seeing what the new facilities can mean to the county for education and economic development.

SANFORD — At three locations next week, Lee County needs a volunteer force to take on litter, debris and all manner of trash in local parks. On Oct. 3, the county will participate in the North Carolina Big Sweep— an environmental initiative founded in 1987. “It’s basically a statewide program to clean up waterways throughout North Carolina,” said Joe Cherry, Lee County Solid Waste Superintendent. “We’ve been doing it for at least 10 years.” The big sweep is North Carolina’s portion of the International Coastal Cleanup — an initiative involving more than 90 countries. Locally, the non-profit North Carolina Big Sweep Inc. coordinates the annual cleanup and also conducts year-round education programs. Since the sweep’s inception, almost 290,000 volunteers have picked up more than 9.8 million pounds of trash in North Carolina, according to the Big Sweep website. In 2009, participants represented all 100 counties in the state and gave a combined 84,876 hours to the effort. In Lee County alone, Cherry said, “We picked up about

CRIME

Police seek man who robbed motel SANFORD — Sanford police are searching for a man who robbed a local Days Inn late Monday. Police say a man walked into the Days Inn at 1217 N. Horner Blvd. after 11 p.m. wielding a handgun and demanding money. No one was hurt in the robbery, although the suspect left the hotel with an undisclosed amount of money. A hotel clerk described the robber as a black man, approximately 5 feet 8 inches, weighing 185 pounds and about 30 years old. The suspect was wearing a green shirt, blue pants and a stocking over his face. Police say the robber left the hotel in a light-colored sport utility vehicle. If you have any information on the case, contact the Sanford Police Department at 919-775-8255.

GOOD MORNING Pet of the Week Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption

Opie Opie is a 6-year-old male tan dachshundmix. The “mix” part is a good thing, it seems, because he doesn’t have the long-long back for which doxie’s are famous; hopefully that will mean no back-problems for this sweet boy as he gets older. Opie gets along with kids of all ages and other dogs (and even cats, if properly introduced). He is quiet and laid back and just wants to hang out w/his humans. Opie is housetrained and his small size makes him perfect for leash walks and car-rides. His big brown eyes have a quality about them that maybe hypnotic; he causes you to have difficulty resisting doing what he wants you to do (like take him for a walk or snuggle or exchange tales of the day’s events). Please come out and let this little guy wag his way into your heart. Opie is heartworm negative, current on vaccines and preventatives, micro-chipped and neutered. See CARA’s Web site (www.caranc.org) for more info or to apply to adopt.

In 1761, Britain’s King George III and his wife, Charlotte, were crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863. In 1960, the independent Republic of Mali was proclaimed. In 1964, the musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 3,242 performances. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. (Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on Dec. 31, 2007.)

SANFORD

Council approves grant wording, consent agenda

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City Council members approved a handful of consent agenda items Tuesday before they were set for a closed session huddle. Items approved included minutes of previous meetings and administrative steps in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for state grant funding for improvements in low-income local neighborhoods. Officials approved a city plan for clearing language barriers on grant information. City officials got a dose of good news last week when Mayor Cornelia Olive announced one east Sanford neighborhood was slated to receive $970,000 of the N.C. Department of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Block Grant funds. The money will be funded for street, drainage, water and sewer work in the Maple Avenue area, Olive said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Billy Ball

Exhibit pick-up today at Lee fairgrounds

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Organziers of the Lee Regional Fair have requested that all exhibitors pick up the materials used in their exhibits. The fairgrounds will be open today from 6 to 8 p.m. for pick-up. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from staff reports

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was here when she first came in, and she has such a loving personality,â&#x20AC;? Conway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just loves to be petted and acknowledged.â&#x20AC;? Special needs pets, senior pets, pets with medical problems and big black dogs and cats also typically have a difficult time finding homes. An outgoing retriever mix named Scott is only six months old, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent most of his life at CARA because people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually attracted to all-black dogs. He was recently moved to a foster home because he started showing signs of kennel stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big black dogs and black cats people see as plain and boring,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get overlooked in favor of the more colorful animals, so just because of their color, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re harder to place.â&#x20AC;? Some animals have difficulty finding homes because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;breed bias,â&#x20AC;? or negative stigmas attached to their breed. Pit bulls are a prime

example of dogs that are viewed as aggressive and untrainable. Lindauer said pit bulls often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t placed at CARA because they are very people-oriented and tend to develop severe kennel stress, but most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to foster them. As a result, most pit bulls are taken to the animal shelter where they are ultimately euthanized. Other animals are difficult to place because they have shy personalities. Bella is a 3-year-old brown and orange cat who arrived at CARA with a litter of kittens. Two years later, the kittens are long gone and Bella is still there. After enduring some medical treatments, Bella has become nervous about people touching her. Lindauer said Bella is friendly, but she needs an understanding owner with the patience to earn her trust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, if someone is willing to consider one of these animals, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a rewarding experience on their part because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to help out and see the changes and have the satisfaction of seeing the animals over-

come whatever stigma was attached to them,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. More often than not, Conway said less adoptable animals are already housebroken and have established personalities. She said it is always rewarding when a less adoptable animal finally does find a loving family, such as a shepherd mix named Ranger who now lives on a farm in Tennessee after spending nine months at CARA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come out and meet them, and I dare you not to fall in love,â&#x20AC;? Conway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to give them a chance.â&#x20AC;? Especially at a nokill shelter like CARA, Lindauer said the staff really knows the personalities of the animals and can match them well with what potential owners are looking for. But too often, she sees animals with winning personalities overlooked because of their outward appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just knowing there are animals out there that would make great pets,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to get past their physical appearance or size or age. None of it really matters.â&#x20AC;?

CCCC Continued from Page 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This library reflects the importance this college and community put on learning,â&#x20AC;? said speaker George Lucier, who is both a Chatham County commissioner and a trustee of the college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also impressive to think of what the Sustainable Technologies Center will do for us in economic development. When companies see these buildings, they will know that we are committed.â&#x20AC;? The sweeping arc of the new Chatham Community Library stood out against the bright blue sky, drawing visitors to enter and tour the spacious 25,000square-foot library. The new facility is almost four times bigger than the old Chatham Library. Visitors admired the glass front wall and high rear windows that brighten the interior with daylight and minimize the use of artificial lighting. The building cost almost $8 million to complete. In addition, the Friends of the Chatham Community Library raised $750,000 to enhance the furnishings, including works by area artists that are an integral part of the facility: a mural in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading room by Michael Brown, a

Dossenbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is

patio fence by John Amero, and two ceramic tile fireplaces by Siglinda Scarpa. Leaving the library, a few steps took visitors to the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 18,000square-foot Sustainable Technologies Center. There, they enjoyed refreshments, some prepared by the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Chef culinary arts class. They saw the classrooms and labs for the biofuels, sustainable agriculture, sustainability technologies, green building/renewable energy, and eco-tourism programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These buildings reflect the incredible spirit of Chatham County,â&#x20AC;? Sally Kost, chair of the county board of commissioners told those gathered to celebrate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are here today because of the caring of so many Chatham citizens.â&#x20AC;? Both buildings are green â&#x20AC;&#x201D; environmentally friendly, using energy efficient design and materials while creating surroundings appealing to the people who will use them. Both buildings are expected to receive the U.S. Green Building Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Design) gold standard certification. Design was by Louis Cherry, of Cherry Huffman Architects, and construction by Barnhill Contracting Company.

Pick-up Continued from Page 1A

5,600 pounds of trash.â&#x20AC;? Some of the more interesting discarded items included 17 tires, furniture, grills, lumber and car parts. Last year, 68 volunteers helped tidy up Lee County, and Cherry said he is hoping for an even better showing in 2010. He mentioned that The Central Carolina Paddlers are consistent contributors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making the sweep one of their annual service projects. Since the cleanup started locally, Cherry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually seeing an improvement.â&#x20AC;? He mentioned that The Kiwanis Family Park was a project site in recent years, but its condition has since been maintained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to say it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reverted backâ&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which speaks well of people in the county.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sites are San-Lee Park, at 572 Pumping Station Road, Deep River Park, at Camelback Bridge, and Carbonton Dam Park, on Highway 42. Volunteers are invited to show up and help at any of the three sites between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Cherry recommended bringing items such as gloves, insect repellent and sunscreen. For further information, contact him at 718-4622, extension 5381, or visit www. ncbigsweep.com.

Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

All’s quiet on the city government front

ou could blame it on an election year, but only one of them is seeking office this November. So other than chalking it up to the “dog days of summer,” it seems complacency has settled in quite nicely on the Sanford City Council, which once again failed to drum up much public interest at Tuesday night’s regular meeting. This week, the meeting consisted of the approval of the consent agenda, followed by a closed session huddle. Sure, consent agendas are important, but open public meetings should be arenas for discussion ... debate ... public input.

You have to go back more than two months to find anything of note the city council has passed. It was two months ago when they revised a plan for water shortages, outlining how the city would respond should a water shortage cripple Sanford’s ability to provide utilities to customers. Before that, the council approved a new contract with the Economic Development Corporation, joining forces with the county and Town of Broadway for that one. Since then? The city council made headlines by turning down a request by a local nonprofit

— the Christians United Outreach Center — for funds to fix a broken air conditioner. A few weeks back, Councilman Mike Stone (the one who’s running for a state office) had to dig deep in the “what to talk about” bin and promised to bring fireworks back to the city. Not political fireworks. Real ones. Sanford’s gone without a fireworks show in the city limits for several Independence Days now. Riveting stuff. In short, the city council meetings have been yawninducing of late. Meanwhile, neighborhoods are forming

their own groups to fight burglaries, the city is still without ordinances adopted by surrounding communities concerning tethering of dogs and outside agencies are planning the city’s “vision” for us. Before this stretch of complacency, the city council voted to approve a 2.5-percent pay raise for themselves and all city employees. Three councilmen — Stone, Charles Taylor and Sam Gaskins — did request that their pay remain flat, but were outvoted. We questioned the decision then, and after a few months of “blah,” we’re even more baffled by the move.

And if we go back further, we can borrow a quote from rookie councilman L.I. “Poly” Cohen, who said everything in his district “looks pretty good” when asked by Mayor Cornelia Olive to bring up issues facing his district at a meeting five months ago. We suppose that attitude has carried over into these “dog days.” Next year, of course, is an election year for councilmen. We predict the agendas will be meatier by then. We only hope that happens much sooner.

Fair was really fun

t’s been my honor to have had the opportunity to participate in various activities and events over the years. Last week, I had the special treat to serve as master of ceremonies for the Lee Regional Fair Pageant on Wednesday. It was an incredible experience that I shall treasure. It was grand to see these contestantants having a good time — and so many people come out to support these young women. Congratulations to the winners — Brianne Schlott as Miss Lee Regional Fair and Mariah Reives as Junior Miss Lee Regional Fair. It also was neat to meet Miss North Carolina, Adrienne Core, who is a really nice young woman and great choice to wear the crown. The Sanford Lions Club and the many volunteers helped to make this year’s fair such a success. My congratulations to each of them. It was a pleasure to see the many exhibits — and to visit the midway. No doubt, there was plenty to see and do at this year’s fair. It was a great bargain for the $6 admission fee. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event. To those who entered exhibits, fair officials are reminding that exhibits should be picked up between 6 and 8 p.m. today.

Barbecue event Don’t forget this Friday is the day for the annual J. Fletcher Rosser Day in Lee County barbecue to benefit The Breadbasket. The Breadbasket feeds many individuals during the year — and this fundraiser helps to support that effort. To support this cause, plates will be sold from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. at St. Luke United Methodist Church. Tickets are $8. It’s truly a good cause, not to mention you’ll get to eat some really good barbecue.

Delightful Darlings If you have a child from birth to age 4 and you believe they may be the next “Delightful Darling,” then you may want to enter he or she into the “Delightful Darlings” contest. A fundraiser for the Lee County Partnership for Children, sponsored by The Herald, the contest will benefit the Lee County Imaginary Library, providing free books for young children. The entry fee is $15 — with cash prizes and a trophy to the top three winners, as well as the opportunity to ride in the upcoming Christmas parade. The deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Oct. 15. After that, the contestants will have their photographs printed in The Herald. From Oct. 18-Nov. 18, people can vote for their favorite contestant for $1 per vote. For more information, contact the Lee County Partnership for Children at (919) 774-9496.

Sharia as new menace?

ASHINGTON — Boy, one thing I really hate is when American judges try to impose harsh Islamic sharia law. You know, with all those grisly lashings, stonings and beheadings. What’s that you say? No such thing is happening, and you wonder where I got such a crazy idea? Why, Newt Gingrich told me. On Saturday, speaking at the conservative Values Voter Summit, Gingrich issued a thunderous call for action against an imminent threat that exists only in his fevered imagination — or, perhaps, in his political machinations. “We should have a federal law that says sharia law cannot be recognized by any court in the United States,” Gingrich declared, to a standing ovation. OK, but would this include Judge Judy? Because I’ve always suspected that when she gets really mad, and she snaps the heads off both the plaintiff and the defendant, she might be slipping a little sharia into the American subconscious — you know, preparing an unsuspecting nation for the real deal. Maybe we need another law that covers fake judges on daytime television, with punishments for violations that begin with flogging. But seriously, folks, Newt says we have to halt the insidious encroachment of sharia law, and we have to halt it here and now. In July, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, he went on at great length about the supposed sharia menace, which he sees as part of a “stealth” campaign to impose Islam on all of us. “Stealth jihadis use political, cultural, societal, religious, intellectual tools; violent jihadis use violence,” Gingrich said at the AEI. “But in fact they’re both engaged in jihad and they’re both seeking to impose the same end state, which is to replace Western civilization with a radical imposition of sharia.” He threw in a perfunctory disclaimer — that there is “a sharp distinction between those Muslims who live in the modern world and those Muslims who would radically change the modern world” — and then proceeded with a speech that essentially paints Islam as the new Red Menace. The “stealth jihadis,” I suppose, must be like the “known communists” on the list in Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s hand. Along the way, in the July speech, Gingrich painted liberals as a bunch of fellow travelers. “How we don’t have some kind of movement in this country on the left that understands that sharia is a direct mortal threat to virtually every value that the left has is really one of the most interesting historical questions,” he said. Where to begin? First, I guess, by stating the obvious: There is no left-of-center movement dedicated to fighting the steady, stealthy insinuation of sharia into America’s legal system because no such thing is happening. Gingrich invents an enemy and

then demands to know why others haven’t sallied forth to slay it. Gingrich and the Islamophobes have found one solitary case to bolster their “sharia is here” theory. In June 2009, a family court judge in Hudson County, N.J., denied a restraining order to a woman who testified that her husband, a Muslim, had forced her to have non-consensual sex. Judge Joseph Charles Jr. said he did not believe the man “had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault” his wife because he was acting in a way that was “consistent with his practices.” The judge was clearly in error, as a state appeals court ruled two months ago in reversing his decision. The man’s religious beliefs, the court ruled, do not exempt him from state laws. Thus ended the one and only instance of stealth sharia that anyone has been able to find. Andrew Silow-Carroll, the editor in chief of the New Jersey Jewish News, cited that case in a column last month blasting Gingrich’s “sharia-phobia.” Silow-Carroll pointed out two things: First, the system worked — the judge made a boneheaded call, and he was overturned. Second, our system already allows some civil matters — but not crimes — to be settled through other means of arbitration. “Among those alternative mechanisms is the beit din , or rabbinic law court,” Silow-Carroll wrote. “Every day, Jews go before batei din to arbitrate real estate deals, nasty divorces and business disputes.” If Newt were aware of this, would he blow a gasket? Somehow, I doubt it. His objection seems to be faith-specific. And his purpose seems to be political. If Muslim-bashing draws a rise — and apparently it does — then he’s not going to be outdone. Watch out, Judge Judy. He may be coming for you next.

Today’s Prayer How can you say to your brother, “Let me remove the speck from your eye,” and look, a plank is in your own eye? (Matthew 7:4) PRAYER: Father, thank You for the gift of humor, let me see my own faults and failures first. Amen.

In the book of John 8:32, Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” How is it in today’s society, when one shines the light of truth on the politically correct dogma of our progressive comrades, they immediately spew pejoratives like “hate” and close their minds to the facts? Didn’t Jesus in John 15:18 warn us: “If the world hates you, just remember that it hated me first”? I must forgive Mr. Coggins and Ms. Larsen as I suspect they are both products of our “public educational collectives” or our “institutions of higher indoctrination” where only the PC “thought police reign.” Obviously Mr. Coggins does not have daily conversations with our finest special warriors who can attest to the mosques in Iraq and Afghanistan being used as bases and depots for military operations throughout both countries! Obviously, Ms. Larsen is historically challenged. Did she not read the Spring 2002 report from that bastion of right wing extremism, The Southern Poverty Law Center, where they connect Neo-Nazis with the Jihaddi Terrorists of 911? Does she not know the vein of hatred that exudes from Islam runs all the way back to the Nazis via the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder al Bana? Did she not know that Hitler formed an international Arab Muslim “Handjar” division? Surely her implying my letters invoke the name “Adolf” is playing fast and loose with the truth. Do not both know that it is the Islamic custom to build mosques upon conquered ground, such as the proposed 19 Martyrs Memorial Mosque in Manhattan? Why do you think they call it the Cordoba House? Do they not know that Islam means total submission and sharia law dictates every aspect of daily life? Why are most Muslim lead nation’s dictatorships? Why does Islam condone deception, stealing and killing when it involves infidels? No wonder our progressive comrades in the ACLU hate the Ten Commandments! Islam invokes strict collective obedience and our president Barak Hussein Obama spent his formative years worshipping Allah. The church he attended for twenty years invokes a Marxist based liberation theology promoting “collective salvation.” Christianity allows for individual salvation. Islam requires a theocracy and nothing else. Now under the guise of religious freedom and tolerance, our progressive comrades are playing “useful idiots” to the most intolerant religion on the face of the earth and they don’t see it coming. Perhaps our progressive comrades admire sharia law’s total control as they continue to march our government toward total control of our daily lives. So, if you enjoy total submission of your lives to government, then in November, vote the party that supports such, our progressive Democrat party. I for one choose “individual freedom and liberty.” GOD bless America. KIRK D. SMITH Sanford

STATE BRIEFS Carolinas get high marks on health emergency plans

School suspends teen again over nose stud

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new federal report gives high marks to North Carolina and South Carolina on their readiness for a public health emergency. But health officials and nonprofit groups warn that lower funding and budget cuts could combine to weaken preparedness. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report Tuesday on the readiness of states for an emergency like a flu pandemic. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control spokesman Jim Beasley says the report is good news. But he says states around the country have seen their health budgets shrink since the report was finished. Beasley said those losses will make it harder to respond to health emergencies.

CLAYTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 14year-old Clayton High School student has been suspended again for wearing a nose stud that she says is a sign of her faith. North Carolina American Civil Liberties Union legal director Katy Parker says Ariana Iacono (eye-uh-KOHNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oh) was suspended Tuesday morning. The ACLU is backing Iaconoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to wear the nose ring. Iacono and her mother are members of a small group called the Church of Body Modification. This is the third time this year Iacono has been suspended. The Johnston County school system has a dress code that prohibits facial piercings. Parker says the ACLU and the Iaconos have not yet decided how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll respond to the latest suspension.

Court agrees police officer must repay $174K

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court of Appeals says a retired Eden police officer must repay $174,000 in pension checks he received after taking a new law enforcement job nearby. The Court of Appeals agreed Tuesday with the state retirement system and lower courts that Gary Lawrence Walker couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive his government pension while getting paid as a full-time officer and later as police chief in Stoneville until 2007. Walker argued he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be punished for what he called misrepresentations by town officials that he could keep getting his monthly pension from 1996 to 2006. Appeals Court Judge Ann Marie Calabria wrote the court was distressed to rule against Walker but that someone failed to communicate in Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case.

Soldier killed on 9th tour in the Middle East FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The body of a North Carolinabased Special Operations soldier from Illinois is coming home after he was killed during his ninth deployment to war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Pentagon said 30-yearold Sgt. 1st Class Ronald Grider died Saturday of wounds suffered after he was hit by machine gun fire in Afghanistan. He was assigned to U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg. The Fayetteville Observer reported Tuesday that Grider had deployed to Iraq seven times and Afghanistan twice. The Carthage resident was from Brighton, Ill., and enlisted in the Army as an infantryman after graduating from high school in Bethalto, Ill., in 1998. The Army says Grider was posthumously awarded his third Bronze Star, a medal awarded for combat valor.

MOURNERS REMEMBER DAUGHTER OF POLICE CHIEFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SMILE, JOKES CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man accused of killing a police chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and dumping her body in a self-storage unit said Tuesday he would not fight his return to North Carolina, as mourners in her hometown remembered her smile and penchant for making people laugh. More than 500 people crammed into First Presbyterian Church near Charlotte to pay tribute to 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton. Friends remembered her joking nature, whether on the softball field, in the high school band, or at her job teaching children how to swim. If anyone was upset, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell a joke to break the tension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making people smile was very important to her,â&#x20AC;? said Beth Pinto, her high school guidance counselor and church youth director, who recalled a holiday event about six years ago when the teens were making gingerbread houses. Not Hamilton. She made a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shackâ&#x20AC;? while smearing the peanut butter and marshmallow cream on her face to make a gingerbread person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was just full of

life. If you gave her an assignment, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put her own twist on it,â&#x20AC;? Pinto said. Hamilton was seen leaving a Charlotte tavern early last Wednesday morning with her accused killer, Michael Neal Harvey, 34, police said. It appears the woman left voluntarily with Harvey, and the Charlotte Observer reported that her friend Ashley Barton, 20, said Hamilton called her just after 3 a.m. and asked her to come over to join her and a friend in the hot tub at Valerieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment complex. Barton declined. By Thursday, friends and family grew worried when they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear from Hamilton. Police said in a news release Tuesday that detectives found evidence of drug usage and witnesses indicated that although alive, Hamilton appeared to need immediate medical attention. The suspect did not seek professional medical attention for Hamilton after being prompted by several witnesses, police said. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear what the drug usage evidence was and a po-

lice spokesman refused to answer follow-up questions. Police said Harvey killed Hamilton and dumped her body before fleeing to Niagara Falls, where he grew up. He was arrested there Monday. Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss at Little Otter Swim School in Charlotte said hundreds of children know how to swim because of Hamilton. The children would stop crying when she was around, said coowner John Kirk, recalling that she liked to loudly sing childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs, which the kids loved. She had worked there for three years. Madison Smith said Hamilton was her best friend, as they lived and waited tables together after high school. Recently, they went tubing down the river, and it was Hamilton who insisted on using the â&#x20AC;&#x153;toddler tubes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was very spunky. She had a hunger for life,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. In New York at Har-

veyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court hearing, his mother broke into tears. Neither his family nor his attorney, Michael White, spoke to reporters as they left the courtroom. In court documents, Harvey told authorities he was adopted by his grandparents at age 3 because his mother abused drugs. He earned his high school equivalency diploma in 1993 at Moriah Shock Boot Camp in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adirondack Mountains, a facility for young offenders. Harvey told authorities he first drank alcohol at age 7. At age 12, he began smoking marijuana, which he would smoke daily until he was 28, he said. He tried cocaine for the first time at 13 and used amphetamines and hallucinogens in his teens, though he says he stopped using those years ago. He did heroin at 18 and first smoked crack at age 30, according to a January 2008 pre-sentencing report for violating his probation.

Senate candidates seek Social Security tweaks By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading candidates for U.S. Senate say they are considering policy tweaks to keep Social Security solvent instead of major shifts such as raising the retirement age or allowing partial privatization. Republican Sen. Richard Burr said he would first consider limits on costof-living adjustments for the more affluent Social Security recipients and tax incentives for Americans to prepare for retirement on their own. Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall said she would boost funding for the program

by raising the cap on how much income can be taxed. Burr rejected a Burr proposal previously backed by Republicans to earmark a part of Social Security collecMarshall tions into private accounts, something a spokeswoman recently said he supported. Marshall said the idea of raising

the retirement age was off the table, even though she previously said it should be considered. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crucial issue for the two candidates to settle as they court retired North Carolina residents, typically a demographic that reliably turns out to vote on Election Day. The state has more than 1 million residents age 65 and older. Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on Social Security was hard to pin down even back in 2005, when President George W. Bush began pushing a plan that would allow taxpayers to put a portion of their Social Security money toward a private account. Burr never seemed to expressly endorse the proposal but he embraced the debate and on multiple occasions said he envisioned the end result would allow people an option similar to a 401(k) program.

OCTOBER 7 & OCTOBER 14 ~ 7:30 PM

Campaign spokeswoman Samantha Smith wrote in an e-mail last month that Burr â&#x20AC;&#x153;believes Americans should have the right to choose whether they personally would like to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in a personal account.â&#x20AC;? Burr, however, said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he would consider such a plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I have always remained opened to having the debate but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think at any point or time I have ever suggested that I wanted a Social Security system that allowed people to opt out of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Burr did say that Congress should give people incentives to set aside their own money. And he suggested that Americans with a lot of resources at retirement could be

excluded from cost-of-living increases as a way to save money to keep the program solvent. Solvency was Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big concern when she laid out during an April interview with the AP the reasons why Congress should take a look at raising the eligibility age for full benefits, now at 67. She said at the time that hard choices were going to have to be made because of the aging electorate, adding that eligibility dates â&#x20AC;&#x153;are going to have to be looked at.â&#x20AC;? Marshall didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a new retirement age in mind but argued that the current retirement age was put in place when life expectancies were different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good reason why you should be making a serious look at it,â&#x20AC;? she said at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond the politics and the fiscal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that when people are living longer ... it was done at a time when the life expectancy was a lot less.â&#x20AC;? Marshall started backing away from that sugges-

tion after her opponent in the Democratic primary began to criticize her. She said in a follow-up interview last week that she was simply saying that others would almost certainly bring up the issue of age adjustments during an intellectual discussion on the topic. She said she does not support changing the retirement age and instead would look at raising the cap on how much income can be taxed, currently at about $107,000. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Libertarian candidate, Michael Beitler, expressed a clear message on the topic during an interview last week. He likened the program to a Ponzi scheme, noting that young adults now are paying into the program but shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to get anything from it at retirement. He proposed tax incentives to give people more personal responsibility for funding their own retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The system isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been sound for a long time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

NATION BRIEFS Ex-city manager among 8 arrested in Calif. scandal

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mayor and ex-city manager of the Los Angeles suburb of Bell were among eight current and former city officials arrested Tuesday in a corruption scandal that authorities said cost the city more than $5 million in excessive salaries and illegal personal loans. The district attorney’s office said several former and current City Council members were taken into custody along with ex-city manager Robert Rizzo and Mayor Oscar Hernandez. “This, needless to say, is corruption on steroids,” District Attorney Steve Cooley said at a news conference, standing next to a display of pictures of the suspects. The district attorney, state attorney general and others have been investigating officials in the small working-class city since it was disclosed this summer that they were paying themselves huge salaries. Rizzo, who was making nearly $800,000 a year, was booked on 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds.

Study: Teacher bonuses don’t affect student tests

ATLANTA (AP) — A new study shows that giving performance bonuses to teachers does not raise student test scores. Vanderbilt University researchers found that students in classrooms where teachers received merit pay did not outperform the classes where educators got

no bonus. The report comes as the Obama administration pushes states to adopt merit pay for teachers as a way to overhaul public education and raise student achievement. The study by Vanderbilt’s National Center on Performance Incentives looked at fifth- through eighthgrade math teachers in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools from 2007 to 2009.

World’s oldest man marks 114th birthday in Montana 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.

REPUBLICANS BLOCK BILL TO LIFT MILITARY GAY BAN By ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked legislation that would have repealed the law banning gays from serving openly in the military. The partisan vote was a defeat for Senate Democrats and gay rights advocates, who saw the bill as their last chance before November’s elections to overturn the law known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.” With the 56-43 vote, Democrats fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation. It also would have authorized $726 billion in defense spending including a pay raise for troops. Senate Democrats attached the repeal provision to the defense bill in the hopes that Republicans would hesitate to vote against legislation that included popular defense programs. But GOP legislators opposed the bill anyway, thwarting a key part of the Democrats’ legislative agenda. Now, gay rights advocates say they worry they have lost a crucial oppor-

If Democrats lose seats in the upcoming elections this fall, repealing the ban could prove even more difficult — if not impossible — next year. “The whole thing is a political train wreck,” said Richard Socarides, a former White House adviser on gay rights during the Clinton administration. Socarides said President Barack Obama “badly miscalculated” the Pentagon’s support for repeal, while Democrats

made only a “token effort” to advance the bill. “If it was a priority for the Democratic leadership, they would get a clean vote on this,” he said. Democratic Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor of Arkansas sided with Republicans to block the bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also voted against the measure as a procedural tactic. Under Senate rules, casting his vote with the majority of the Senate enables him to revive the bill

at a later date if he wants. Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine had been seen as the crucial 60th vote because she supports overturning the military ban. But Collins agreed with her GOP colleagues that Republicans weren’t given sufficient chance to offer amendments. Reid allowed Republicans the opportunity to offer only one amendment to address GOP objections on the military’s policy on gays.

Health care law making us ‘muddle-minded’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months after President Barack Obama signed the landmark health care law, the nation still doesn’t really know what’s in it. More than half of Americans mistakenly believe the overhaul will raise taxes for most people this year, an Associated Press poll finds. But that would be true only if most people were devoted to indoor tanning, which got hit with a sales tax. Many who wanted the health care system to be overhauled don’t realize that some provisions they cared about actually did make it in. And about a quarter of supporters don’t understand that something hardly anyone wanted didn’t make it: They mistakenly say the law will set up panels of bureaucrats to make decisions about people’s care — what critics labeled “death panels.” The uncertainty and confusion amount to a dismal verdict for the Obama administration’s campaign to win over public opinion. Before the final votes in Congress, Obama personally assured wavering Democrats he’d take the case to the American people after the law

passed. But it hasn’t worked. And in the final stretch before the midterm elections Republicans are united by their call for repeal. “I’m insecure about a document that was as big as the health care bill and wonder if anybody understands exactly what’s in it,” said Diann Kelley, 61, a retiree from Marietta, Ga., who says she’s “somewhat opposed” to the law. The AP poll was conducted by Stanford University with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “The main fear is the cost,” explained Kelley. “I’m not sure that we can afford to take on something quite as massive as the health care reform with the economy the way it is.” It’s not that Kelley has a negative opinion about everything in the law. The prohibition on health insurance companies denying coverage to people because of pre-existing medical conditions “is really a fine idea,” she said. The poll’s questions included a true-or-false quiz on 19 items, some of

which are in the law and others not. People were also asked how confident they were about their answers. For the most part, majorities picked the right answers. But a sizable number also got things wrong. And right or wrong, people were unsure of their answers. Two-thirds or more were uncertain about their responses on eight of nine core provisions of the legislation. Analysis of the findings indicated a split as

far as the impact of accurate knowledge, between Democrats and independents on one side and Republicans on the other. Accurate knowledge of the law made no difference in overwhelming opposition from Republicans. Michael Cagnina, 33, a web developer from Powhatan, Va., summed it up: “It just doesn’t make me feel comfortable that the government is going to give people free health care but ultimately the government’s money is my money.” However, for Democrats and independents, the more accurate knowledge people had of the bill, the more they liked it. “Among Democrats and independents, the lack of knowledge is suppressing public approval of the bill,” said Stanford political science professor Jon Krosnick, who directed the university’s participation. “Although the president and others have done a great deal to educate people about what is in this bill, the process has not been particularly suc-

cessful.” The White House is staging an event Wednesday to mark the six-month anniversary of Obama signing the bill. The president and top administration officials will be joined by people from around the country who are already benefiting from such popular provisions as allowing adult children to remain on their parents’ insurance until they reach 26. Will it make a difference? The poll shows Obama has yet to find the right wavelength for communicating even information that’s relatively straightforward. One question stood out as an example: People were asked whether the Congressional Budget Office had ruled that the legislation would probably increase the government’s debt, or whether the nonpartisan budget analysts found that the health law would reduce red ink. (Correct answer: CBO found it would reduce the federal deficit over time.) But 81 percent in the survey got the wrong answer, including a majorities of both supporters and opponents — even though Obama seldom misses a

chance to remind audiences of CBO’s favorable report. Overall, three out of ten in the poll said they favored the law, while four in ten said they were opposed. Another 30 percent were neutral. The findings on support and opposition differ from another recent AP poll, but the two surveys cannot be compared because they were drawn up and carried out differently. The other survey, an AP-GfK political poll, found 41 percent supporting the bill and 46 percent opposing it, with only 12 percent neutral. The new survey was conducted Aug. 31 to Sept. 7, and involved interviews with 1,251 randomly chosen adults nationwide. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points. The survey was conducted by Knowledge Networks, which first chose people for the study using randomly generated telephone numbers and home addresses. Once people were selected to participate, they were interviewed online. Participants without Internet access were provided it for free.

Nancy Grace goes to TV court field

NEW YORK (AP) — The teenager furrowed her brow and fixed Nancy Grace with a glare from across the television studio. But the girl was messing with the wrong person. “You’re trying to act like a bully right now,” Grace told her. “I’m not going to be bullied.” Anyone who has seen the fierce former prosecutor clamp down on missing person cases on her prime-time HLN show knows who wins that test of wills. Grace has brought her style of justice into daytime TV’s busy courtroom genre and hopes to stand out, in part, by not being in a courtroom. She referees disputes but stays out of judicial robes and off the bench in the daily, syndicated show “Swift Justice” that premiered last week. She uses polygraphs and interviews witnesses who appear through Skype-like technology on huge screens on her set. And there will be no doubting her rulings. “Case closed,” she says, in what may quickly become her catch phrase. In a genre where there’s “Judge Judy” and everybody else, Grace’s high profile and willingness to try new things give “Swift Justice” the best chance at succeeding among the

AP photo

Hhost Nancy Grace, right, is shown on the set of her show, “Swift Justice with Nancy Grace.” three new syndicated legal shows debut this fall, said Bill Carroll, a programming analyst for Katz Television, which represents local stations seeking ad time in the syndication market. Seven existing shows, including “People’s Court” and “Judge Joe Brown,” also chase Judy in the ratings. Grace recognizes the dominance of “Judge Judy.” It’s one of the few shows that her father watches regularly back home in Georgia. “Why even pretend to be her?” Grace said. “Why even try?” Before getting into television, Grace spent a decade as a prosecutor of felony cases in the Atlanta area. The prosecutor mindset — getting in the

trenches and asking questions — is what she’s most comfortable with and she builds her show around that experience. She studies the facts of each case and even writes out an opinion before each taping (each show has two cases). Grace has been surprised during her first batch of shows at how often her opinion changes when she talks to some of the people involved. One woman was clearly responsible for damaging a motorcycle her husband was storing for a friend in the family garage. When Grace found out the “friend” was another woman with whom the husband was spending far too much time, she essentially let the wife off with a wrist-slapping.

On paper, a 12-year-old girl who hurt a classmate by throwing a rock at her seemed simple — until Grace found out the girl had been acting out since her mother died a few months ago. Her grandmother couldn’t handle her and tried to tame her with spankings. It reminded Grace of the incident that altered her life and career, when her fiance was murdered and she gave up studying teaching to go to law school. Even 30 years after that tragedy, a recollection dampens her eyes. “Nobody was equipped for this whole situation,” she said. “Nobody. I knew because I was there and I was not equipped for what happened. I never sought counseling. I didn’t know to. ... I just knew that the world had blown up. ... And I felt so bad for that little girl.” Unraveling stories behind the legal disputes, and providing help where needed, could be another way to distinguish “Swift Justice” from rivals. Grace said people sometimes write to ask why she never smiles on her HLN show. Her response is basically, “about what?” She’s usually talking about a missing person or a terrible crime, topics that don’t inspire warmth and humor.

Lohan again faces jail after arrest warrant issued BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Another warrant, another court hearing for Lindsay Lohan. Lohan has been ordered to appear at a hearing on Friday after a judge issued an arrest warrant for failing a drug test less than a month after she was released from inpatient rehab. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox revoked Lohan’s probation in her three-yearold drug case Monday and issued a bench warrant which was immediately stayed, allowing her to remain free until the hearing to determine if she violated her probation. Previously, Fox had threatened the actress with 30 days in jail for each violation. He must now decide whether to send her back to jail or into treatment. Lohan confirmed on her Twitter page last week that she failed the court-ordered drug and alcohol screening. “Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test,” she tweeted. She also said, “substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it.”

Huron County Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson told the Huron Daily Tribune of Bad Axe that no injuries were reported after the Sunday evening incident in Huron County’s Sheridan Township, about 90 miles north of Detroit. A section of a nearby road was closed for a short time. Hanson says the helicopter was equipped with a front-mounted camera. Hanson says the helicopter hooked the electrical wire, then seemed to have “directional control issues” before safely flying away. “Real Steel” is a futuristic drama about robot boxing. The DreamWorks Studios’ film is scheduled for a 2011 release.

Michael Douglas attends NYC ‘Wall Street’ premiere

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Douglas has channeled the confidence of ruthless corporate raider Gordon Gekko while walking the red carpet at the New York City premiere of his latest film, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” The Academy Award-winning actor recently announced he’s being treated for throat cancer. He posed for photos Monday night with co-stars including Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan and director Oliver Stone. He didn’t give interviews. LaBeouf calls the 65-yearold Douglas a “wolf.” He notes Douglas showed no signs of weakness while making the “Wall Street” sequel, which opens Friday. Stone says “it’s a struggle” and “it’s tough,” but Douglas is “fighting.”

Aretha Franklin’s son severely beaten in Detroit DETROIT (AP) — Aretha Franklin’s son was severely beaten at a gas station in Detroit, the singing legend’s spokeswoman said Tuesday. Eddie Franklin, who is in his 50s, was attacked Monday night and was undergoing surgery at a hospital, Gwendolyn Quinn said in a statement. A witness said two men and a woman may have been involved in the attack, according to the statement, which did not identify the witness or address a possible motive. Quinn told The Associated Press early Tuesday morning she didn’t have any information beyond the written statement. A woman who was with Franklin told police she went into the gas station and when she returned, he had been attacked, police spokeswoman Eren Stephens said. The woman then drove Franklin to a hospital, dropped him off and headed to a police station to file a report, police said.

FIREFIGHTERS RACE TO BEAT WILDFIRE, WINDS

HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — The National Guard joined forces with firefighters again Tuesday to battle a fast-moving, wind-driven blaze that the guard ignited during a machine-gun training exercise. Utah Army Guard Gen. Brian Tarbet said Monday he was “deeply sorry” about what he called a “systematic failure” at Camp Williams, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. The commander accepted responsibility for the wildfire sparked Sunday that destroyed three houses, damaged a fourth and forced the evacuation of more than 1,600 homes. Officials said Tuesday that 450 homes remained evacuated. Tarbet said no one checked to see that the National Weather Service had posted a “red flag” high-wind warning before the machine gun exercise was permitted to continue in tinder-dry conditions in the foothills of the Oquirrh mountains. He also said guard commanders waited two hours to call outside fire agencies for help. Guard Lt. Col. Hank Mc-

Val Johnson holds his dog as he walks by the remnants of his home at the day after a major fire swept through the area Monday in Herriman, Utah. Intire told reporters Tuesday that those responsible would be held accountable. “If we need to take internal action, we certainly will,” he said. The Unified Police Department, an agency overseeing Salt Lake County, is enforcing an evacuation order for parts of Herriman, a community of about 18,000 residents at the southwest corner of the

Salt Lake valley. “We understand the frustration and how inconvenient it is to be forced from your home,” police Lt. Don Hutson said. With high winds predicted Tuesday afternoon, seven bulldozers, five aerial tanker aircraft and four National Guard Black Hawk helicopters were supporting more than 500 firefighters and guardsmen

cutting fire lines. It is the latest example of military training activities sparking large fires at Camp Williams and other facilities. Camp Williams, founded in 1926, covers 44 square miles, or nearly twice the size of Manhattan. Utah National Guard officials said they can usually contain any flames, but local leaders questioned

the decision to fire weapons at all. “It’s a regular occurrence with any type of training — small flare-ups we deal with,” McIntire said Monday. The flames were ignited about 12:40 p.m. Sunday by practice rounds from a .50-caliber machine gun. Officials said a fire crew with a fire truck thought they contained the fire until winds whipped up about 1:30 p.m. Unified fire officials were called at 3:22 p.m. “Our fire crews were on standby, responded and corralled the fire. They got it under control, but the winds came up, and the fire spread and got beyond what we could handle ourselves,” McIntire said. Overnight winds of more than 40 mph fanned the fire across more than 6 square miles. When the drill got under way, the National Guard said the fire hazard was moderate. There was little wind, temperatures were below 75 degrees and humidity was 13 percent, typical for Utah’s dry climate.

Fires caused by artillery shells or other weapons at military installations are not uncommon. In May 2007, a flare dropped from an F-16 on a training flight sparked a fire that burned 17,000 acres in New Jersey. Artillery practice sparked a huge wildfire in July 2009 outside Marseille, France. At Camp Williams, a fire touched off by artillery burned 500 acres in September 2006 and forced the evacuation of about 50 homes. None were destroyed. A more recent fire burned 300 acres in July. Residents and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon questioned the National Guard’s decision to hold live-fire exercises in dry conditions. Hutson called the practice flare-up a “perfect storm” that kicked up violently with winds of 40 mph to 50 mph. The fire has caused no major injuries, officials said, although two police officers were treated for smoke inhalation and a third for minor injuries after being hit by the vehicle of a driver trying to return home.

Poor Tony, congrats to Bowyer

Lee, Southern and Grace to host events By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

few weeks ago, I wrote about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Little did I know it would come back into play in the first race of the Chase. Poor Tony Stewart and congrats to Clint Bowyer. I said last week that there was no clear cut favorite to win or lose and the New Hampshire proved it. Actually, I don’t feel sorry for Tony Stewart. My wife and I were in Aberdeen visiting the Cold Stone Creamery (yes we love that place; those people are so nice), and I had to listening to the last few laps. It appeared that Stewart was waltzing to victory and Bowyer was going to finish second. Then Stewart ran out of gas. The radio broadcast had just said that for the first time in 11 races there would be a repeat winner, and then the unthinkable happened. Crew Chief Darrien Grubb took the blame and Stewart kept his cool. I am sure he was disappointed, but I wasn’t. I am not a Tony Stewart fan. I never have been, and I never will be. I have no idea why. He hasn’t done anything to make me dislike him — I just do. Maybe it was when he tried to copy Helio Castroneves by playing Spiderman and climbing fences after winning races. I think NASCAR put a stop to that. Or maybe it was the

Crusaders drop a heartbreaker By RYAN SARDA

SANFORD — For the second straight match, the Grace Christian Crusaders made the plays on the soccer field. For the second straight time, they just couldn’t execute around the goal. The Crusaders suffered a 10 overtime setback to NCCSA 3-A West Conference foe Alamance Christian on Tuesday afternoon, marking the sixth

time in their seven matches this season that they have lost by just a goal. “If you cannot find the back of the net, you cannot win,” said Grace Christian head coach Chris Pratt. “We had several opportunities to find the net, but we just couldn’t finish. Until we finish and find the net, we can’t win.” After a scoreless regulation, the Crusaders played another

Jets WR Edwards arrested for DWI NEW YORK (AP) — New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated after officers pulled him over in Manhattan because the windows on his SUV were too tinted. Officers on the lookout for violations like excessive tinting or missing registration stickers pulled over Edwards’ Land Rover on New York City’s west side around 5:15 a.m. and noticed a strong smell of alcohol, chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. Edwards was given a breath test at the scene and another at a police station. His blood alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit, officials said.

Surging Wolfpack facing tough test in Yellow Jackets By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

RALEIGH — There might be a surprise contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference: North Carolina State. After breezing through three nonconference games, the Wolfpack (3-0) have joined Boston College as the only unbeaten teams in the wide-open league. But now it’s time to find out just how serious their candidacy is. They open ACC play this week at defending league champion Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-0). “Certainly, there’s a lot more confidence in this football team being 3-0,” coach Tom O’Brien said Monday. “But when you look at the challenge staring us in the face, we’re not going to wear our arms out patting ourselves on the back.”

N.C. State’s Russell Wilson passes during the first half of the team’s game against Cincinnati last Thursday in Raleigh. With a quarterback who finally appears to have found his groove after spending the summer playing pro baseball, and a defense that has stabilized after what seems like perpetually shaky play, this might

shape up as the best N.C. State team that O’Brien has had since he arrived in 2007. For a change, the Wolfpack are off to a hot start. They’ve won their

Cavs unbeaten in conference SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Southern Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys soccer team crossed a hurdle on the want to Cape Fear Conference supremacy with ease Monday night, beating Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek 3-1. Christian Navarro

had a goal and two assists, Rolando Sanchez had a goal and an assist and Ben Holt scored the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third goal for the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek) is a very good team. They are

strong and fast and know how to play,â&#x20AC;? Southern Lee head coach Jason Berman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just played a really good game.â&#x20AC;? The Cavs are now 10-2 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

two goals or less per game, then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing their job. Take Aaron out of the equation and we can only allow one goal and they did that. Our defense is playing well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our offense thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggling.â&#x20AC;? Pratt and assistant coach Caleb Dickens have a young core at midfielder and forward positions, making the Crusaders pretty young on the offensive side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an excuse,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to grow up quickly. We have to find the back of the net Grace has lost three straight, all of which have come by just a goal. The Crusaders fell to Faith Christian (3-2), unbeaten Vandalia Christian (1-0) and now Alamance. The

Crusaders will travel to Gospel Light looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough place to play,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to regroup and bounce back from this. We need everybody healthy, which is something we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had since the season began. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still excited because this team hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t peaked yet, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming.â&#x20AC;? The loss drops the Crusaders to fourth in the conference and keeps Alamance Christian in second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In almost every game, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost by a goal,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to get better and keep growing as a unit. Our young guys have to step up and our older guys have to be leaders.â&#x20AC;?

Tests reveal Hamilton has two fractured ribs ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Josh Hamilton hopes to return to the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lineup before the end of the regular season despite tests Tuesday revealing the Texas slugger has two broken ribs. Hamilton is the majorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading hitter (.361) and a top AL MVP candidate, but the outfielder hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played for the AL West-leading Rangers since crashing into a wall while making a catch Sept. 4 at Minnesota. Hamilton was optimistic after the source of his rib pain finally was diagnosed during a second day of evaluation with Dr. Robert Watkins in California on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no difference in the treatment for it, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re broken or just bruised,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said in the clubhouse before the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game against the Los Angeles Angels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly just good to have confirmation of why I was in so much pain. Now we can take care of it the way we need to, and do it as quick as we can.â&#x20AC;? Hamilton has 31 homers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one shy of his career high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 97 RBIs in 130 games. Watkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tests found the â&#x20AC;&#x153;small stable fracture in the seventh and eighth ribsâ&#x20AC;?

that two previous X-rays and an MRI didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal on Monday. The outfielder had already been dealing with stiffness in his back when he crashed into the wall 2Â˝ weeks ago. General manager Jon Daniels said Hamilton was given an anti-inflammatory injection and an epidural nerve-block injection for pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is typically 48-72 hours before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known whether this treatment has the desired effect,â&#x20AC;? Daniels wrote in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the discomfort recedes to a point where Josh is comfortable, he can return

to baseball activities.â&#x20AC;? If the shots work, Hamilton believes he can manage the pain well enough to get back in the lineup during Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final homestand of the regular season before what is likely to be the first playoff appearance since 1999 for a franchise that has never won a postseason series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of optimism, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to stay focused on the treatment and let the shots work,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do a slow, but quick, buildup to the playoffs, if that makes sense.â&#x20AC;?

first three games for the first time since 2002, when eventual NFL first-round draft pick Philip Rivers was under center. Now comes the next challenge: Winning their ACC opener. At no point during Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three seasons in Raleigh has N.C. State been above .500 in league play. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started 0-3 in the conference â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or worse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; every year under him. The players say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sense any overt extra pressure with the ACC season starting, but admit it might be there underneath the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter to us if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conference game or a regular game,â&#x20AC;? linebacker Audie Cole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either way, you prepare the same. But we all kind of have it in the back of our mind. We all know that we went 2-6 in the ACC last year ... and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to repeat.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt the Wolfpack have faced more resistance this year than early in 2009, when their 3-1 start included wins over two FCS teams. But the competition still probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face in the coming weeks. After Georgia Tech comes a visit from a Virginia Tech team that finally may have found its footing after starting 0-2. Down the road they will take on Atlantic Division favorite Florida State and

do is focus on Georgia Tech, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only thing we have control over right now,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve approached things ever since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a head football coach. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened in the past, other than to learn from it, make sure that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep making the same mistakes and that we take the positives and build on that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be worried about what your recordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be after the third game of the year. You have to focus on the team youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing at hand, and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all shake out one way or another. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 0-3 or 3-0. We still have to play Georgia Tech this week.â&#x20AC;?

Quarterback Russell Wilson was one of the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players of the week after he threw for 333 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over the Bearcats. Still, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to worry about what will happen once ACC play gets rolling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the most important thing we can

fact that the fences arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weight-bearing. They can stop a car going 200 mph, but not hold up a 5-foot, 6-inch, 250 pound man. And Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misfortune became Bowyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. Bowyer has been strong as of late and he deserved that 12th spot in the Chase. It has been proven in other sports that the hottest team going into the playoffs usually is ready when the real games start, and Bowyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team may well be the hottest. One example of someone getting into the Chase when they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to do so was Jeremy Mayfield a few years ago. He crept in and was eliminated before the first race started. Not Bowyer. He and Denny Hamlin are probably the best two drivers at this stage of the season. Of course everyone is counting Jimmie Johnson out, but remember he can win races in bunches, especially during the Chase. A 25th place finish

hurt, but it sure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him out of the picture. Besides Bowyer, Hamlin and Johnson a dark horse may be Jeff Gordon. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won this year, but his consistency is what may well carry him to a championship. I still say watch out for the Fords as well. The only Ford to watch may be Carl Edwards, but he too as been strong lately. Hey, I have to say that... they pay my salary. Now what was up with Dale Earnhardt Jr.? All of sudden he drives and runs a race like he is suppose too and is supposedly capable of winning. He actually started 32nd and I figured he would flounder around in the back with Mark Martin, but his team got the setup right during practice, made some good pit calls, got in the top 10 early and stayed there. Good job for the 88 team, but I think it was just one race deal. Listen Junior Nation, he still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that good. He is now, always has been and always will be Junior. The only thing he does for NASCARÂ is

bring out the fans. If he quit racing, no one would come to the track. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fact that we will discuss more later. Now a quick update on my pending retirement. As noted, we went to Aberdeen and visited the Cold Stone. I am hooked on the cookies and cream milkshake. That was my supper Sunday. It was

nice to be able to enjoy the time without worrying over the race too much. So as of right now I am still going to retire but you never know. I have actually had a few people get in touch with me and ask me not too but we will see. Onto Dover and we will see you after the race. Who knows? I may watch this one.

6B / Wednesday, September 22, 2010 / The Sanford Herald WAKE FOREST

Not much â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Demon Deacons lately WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no defending how poorly Wake Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense has played lately. After giving up 48 points to Duke and 68 to Stanford, the Demon Deacons (2-1, 1-0) enter this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Florida State as the Atlantic Coast Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst team at defending the pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get 68 points scored on you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, no, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have this happen to me again,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? safety Cyhl Quarles said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play harder.â&#x20AC;? And better. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving up 461 yards per game overall, and they rank 100th or worse nationally in four major statistical categories. Take away their rout of outmanned Presbyte-

rian, and their two FBS opponents averaged 511 yards against them. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 11th in the ACC in both points and yards allowed, ahead of only Duke. And things may have hit rock bottom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or so the Demon Deacons hope, anyway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Palo Alto, Calif., where coach Jim Grobe said his defense â&#x20AC;&#x153;gave up a million points.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite that many, but Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6824 romp did represent the most points allowed by Wake Forest since Florida State rolled up 72 in 1995. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can blame it on jet lag, you can blame it on the time change,â&#x20AC;? Quarles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in reality, we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play good.â&#x20AC;? So the Seminoles could hardly be blamed if they

gleefully anticipated the prospect of going up against a Demon Deacons defense that has been carved up lately. Especially since ACC preseason player of the year Christian Ponder is off to a slow start, throwing for just 429 yards so far and ranking ninth in the league passing yardage. But when he was asked about facing Wake Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaky defense, Ponder wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not necessarily. ACC play is always different,â&#x20AC;? the Florida State quarterback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone comes to play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always played tough. We know they had a tough game this past Saturday and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come out motivated. They want to beat us. They always play us hard.â&#x20AC;? The big point totals and gaudy stats allowed by Wake Forest havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seemed to affect the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence, at least not yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we go to Tallahassee,â&#x20AC;? Quarles said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our objective is not to get scored on.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the attitude that carried the Demon Deacons a few years ago when they played in three

Stanford won 68-24. straight bowls and their defense, which ranked among the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, was stacked with future NFL talent. Linebackers Aaron Curry and Stanley Arnoux and defensive back Alphonso Smith are all in the pros now, and nobody has stepped up to replace them. Instead, the current struggles have led to a chicken-or-the-egg dilemma in Winston-Salem: Are Wake Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad defensive numbers a result of

facing two top offenses? Or are those teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; huge offensive numbers merely a result of facing a struggling Demon Deacons defense? And youth and inexperience make up another part of the problem. Wake Forest has just three seniors on its defensive depth chart, and no defender has made more starts than Quarlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 15. That means, Grobe said, it may be time to simplify things and trim down the defensive play-

book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coaches, we pride ourselves on being flexible and finding different ways to do things and being multiple on defense, multiple on offense, lots of sets, lots of plays, lots of coverages, lots of stunts,â&#x20AC;? Grobe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what you find out is, if you ask your kids to do too many things, they get a little constipated (and) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move their feet very fast. At times the other night, it looked like we had lead boots on.â&#x20AC;?

BRIDGE HAND

Secret to good conversation is to show interest in others DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-yearold male who finds it awkward talking to women my age. I do OK approaching older women for conversation, but become tongue-tied with someone under 25. I would like to meet someone special and develop a relationship with her, but at this rate it’s not going to happen anytime soon. I am told by friends and family that I’m handsome, charming and have a good sense of humor. There will be holiday parties coming up soon, and my friends will be inviting some new people. How can I learn to strike up a conversation? I’m having a real problem here. — H.P. IN MIAMI BEACH

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Give way to your entrepreneurial side and develop and present what you have to offer. Creativity will be the big draw this year and will lead to the changes you want for your professional, personal and financial lives. Getting in touch with people from your past who can contribute to what you are trying to do now will make your life easier and your progress faster. Your numbers are 5, 11, 19, 23, 27, 35, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There will be plenty of temptations. Jumping into something or getting involved with someone without a well thought out plan will cost you financially and use up valuable time. Instead, produce something that will utilize your skills and increase your income. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s your participation that will lead to greater opportunities and a challenge that will enhance what you can already do. What you achieve will be directly linked to your willingness to push for what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t trust anyone with a job you promised to do yourself. You will be held responsible and it could cost you money and your reputation. Discipline and hard work will be the only way to maintain what you have worked so hard to achieve. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Start making changes you’ve been considering. Thinking about it and doing it are not the same thing. Believe in your abilities. It’s time to get serious about what you have to offer. Love is in the stars and an evening of celebration is in order. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your emphasis should be on enhancing your surroundings as well as your relationships. By sharing your ideas and plans, you will find a suitable partner

WORD JUMBLE

for an endeavor you want to get off the ground. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Good fortune is coming to you through the people you meet and the opportunities offered. Pull together your knowledge and your talents. A relationship will add to your success personally or professionally. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone trying to overpower you or control your choices will stifle you. It will be important to ensure you aren’t pushed in a direction that is not beneficial to your advancement. Stick to your own plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have more going for you than you realize, so utilize your knowledge and experience. It’s up to you to unveil what you’ve been working on for so long. Present and promote and you will get the response you need to advance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Keep a lid on your thoughts. Someone you live or work with will misinterpret what you are trying to say. Problems at home will surface if you try to force unreasonable changes. Offer your help to others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you want something, go after it. Your hard work will bring you new respect and the help needed to finish what you start. You will be the one controlling who gets what, making you popular. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Recognize why things haven’t worked out in the past and you will spare yourself future grief and upset. Focus more on what you have to offer. Live is simple, so don’t waste time making it so complex. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have some great plans that, when completed, will change the way you live your life. There is money to be made. A partnership will lead to serious accomplishments and greater income.

DEAR H.P.: Not everyone is born with the gift of gab. In fact, most people aren’t. But a smile will tell others that you’re approachable. It’s the universal way of saying, “I’m friendly.” If you want to get to know someone, walk over and say, “Hi, I’m ‘Hal’ — what’s your name?” Introducing yourself isn’t being pushy. It’s being friendly. As I say in my booklet “How to Be Popular,” the surest cure for shyness is to forget yourself and concentrate on the other person. Everyone can be charming. Charm is putting the other person at ease, making him or her feel comfortable and important. Believe it or not, being a good listener will do more for you than being a good talker. Give people a chance to talk about themselves, and they’ll think YOU’RE a great conversationalist. But, when asking questions as a means to get the other person talking, take care that your questions are tactful, discreet and not too personal. Stay current on what’s going on

in the world and in the headlines. The more informed you are, the better company you will be. But don’t be a know-it-all. People who come off like they’re an authority on everything are about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. That’s not to say it pays to be ignorant; rather that the know-italls make those of us who are just average feel insecure and uncomfortable. When talking to people, look them in the eye. And when you’re being spoken to, focus your attention on the person who’s addressing you. Nothing turns people off quicker than trying to carry on a conversation with someone whose eyes are constantly wandering — to see who just came in or who else is in the room. I offer many more tips on how to be socially successful in my booklet, which can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby, Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. And remember, a good conversationalist doesn’t

brag, and doesn’t constantly put himself down. A good conversationalist is an upper. Find something positive to say. Be open and listen to other people’s viewpoints. And don’t have a stiff drink for “courage” because it loosens the tongue and can cause a social disaster. o DEAR ABBY: I’m pregnant with my first child. This will be my parents’ first grandchild and my fiance’s parents’ fourth. My mother lives in another state and won’t be able to attend the birth, and my fiance and his father are not close. My problem is my future mother-in-law. When she asked to be present during the birth, I told her no. She became extremely upset when she found out my father will be in the room. I have nothing against my future mother-in-law; it’s just that she’s a drama queen, and I’m not comfortable sharing such an emotional event with her. Am I wrong for allowing only one grandparent and not the other? — MOM-TO-BE IN MESA, ARIZ. DEAR MOM-TO-BE: The birth of a first baby, while a happy event, can also be scary, challenging and traumatic. It is important that you be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. If you prefer that only your fiance and father be present, then that’s how it should be. Any witnesses should be at the invitation of the person doing the delivering, and frankly, for your future mother-in-law to have asked to be present, rather than waiting to be invited, was presumptuous.

Odds and Ends Boulder to pay $10,000 to man arrested in skivvies BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The lawyer for a Colorado man who was arrested for addressing the Boulder City Council in his boxer shorts said the city has agreed to pay $10,000 to settle his civil rights claim. Attorney David Lane said Seth Brigham accepted the deal Tuesday. In exchange for the payment, Brigham agreed not to file a lawsuit. Brigham was handcuffed and arrested in February on suspicion of obstructing police and trespassing after he spoke to the council clad in his underwear. Brigham said he was trying to make a point about a proposal to criminalize nudity. The charges were later dropped.

Shivering Wyoming horses get indoor exercise place BAIROIL, Wyo. (AP) — Humans aren’t the only ones who can use an indoor place to exercise during Wyoming’s harsh winters. The town of Bairoil (BAYR’-oil) has an 80- by 120-foot barn where people can give their horses a workout in bad weather. The Rawlins Daily Times reports the barn has no heat and no seating, but it does have electric lights so it can be used

SUDOKU

My Answer after dark. The Bairoil town government operates the barn. Town Clerk Barb Miles explains it this way: “We don’t have a lot of protection from wind and snow from any direction.” Residents who pay a fee get an access code. They can get in 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fees range from $35 a month for individuals to $100 a month for commercial use.

Police: Oregon woman robbed bank, picked up kids GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Police in southern Oregon say a woman charged with robbing a bank in Grants Pass stopped to pick up her children at school on the way home. The Grants Pass Daily Courier reported a woman walked into an Umpqua Bank branch shortly after 2 p.m. Monday, handed the teller a note demanding cash, and then rode off in a car driven by a man. Police say a witness description of the car and license plates led to the home of 37-year-old Erica F. Anderson, who was arrested on robbery and theft charges after returning from picking up her daughters at their elementary school. Authorities say 19-year-old Joshua K. Deeter Tseu drove the car and was arrested on the same charges. It was unclear if either has an attorney. See answer, page 2A

Start planning now to avoid Christmas stress Q: I’m already dreading Christmas because there’s always so much to do, and I just get overwhelmed. I know it’s wrong, but in recent years I’ve even ended up hating Christmas. How can I get out of this trap? -- Mrs. D.T. A: I suspect most of us have felt this way at one time or another -- but you’re right: It’s a trap, and we need to do all we can to stay out of it. After all, Christmas should be a time of joy and peace, because it marks the greatest event in human history: the coming of Jesus Christ into the world. He came from heaven to save us from our sins and give us the gift of eternal life; could anything be more important, or more joyous? The angel’s words to the shepherds on that first Christmas night should echo in our hearts every year: “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy” (Luke 2:10). What can you do? First, plan ahead. Don’t just think about making plans -- actually make them! Sit down and write out a list of everything you know you’ll have to do (including the presents you intend to buy). Then get out your calendar and decide when you’ll do them. The more you can get done in advance, the less hassle you’ll have at the last minute. Then set aside time for you and your family to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

The real pumpkin bread

have a confession to make. Last year, I wrote about one of my favorite fall treats, pumpkin bread. I wrote my column and went, like I often do, to get my recipe at the last minute. It was nowhere to be found. I was in a slight panic, not only because I needed it for this column, but because one of my most treasured recipes was gone. I called my mom and my sister, who also hold the INSIDE treasured See our recipe. weekly Dining Nobody Guide for could local menu find it. I options searched Pages 4-5C online to find something similar and I finally did. I tested it and while it was pretty tasty, it just wasn’t THE recipe. You see, it isn’t just the recipe for the food. It is the recipe card itself. It has plenty of pumpkin stains on it. It has a stamp of “Lindsey” on it. Yes, with my name spelled wrong. I went through a phase as a child where I wanted anything that was personalized with my name. Even if it was spelled in correctly. The recipe card itself holds so many memories, and it almost felt worse to lose that than the actual list of ingredients and instructions. Well, as I was searching a few weeks ago for a recipe for muffins, I stumbled right across it. Right in the section of my recipe box where it belonged. It is as if someone must have come and taken it out and secretly replaced it. Regardless of how it went missing or how it ended up back where it belonged, I am just thankful to have it. And now, you can have the pumpkin bread recipe as well… the real one.

Gluten-free products are filling market shelves and despite the very low percentage of people that have a problem with gluten are making their way to many home pantries. Topped with a dollop of wasabispiked mayonnaise these pan-fried shrimp and caramelized scallion rice cakes cakes are an unexpected and flavor packed way to serve a gluten-free meal.

LOCAL COLUMNISTS

Gwyneth Paltrow gushes over gluten-free. Chelsea Clinton’s wedding cake was baked without it. The new Old Spice guy avoids the ubiquitous protein to help stay buff. In fact, odds are good you too have tried — or at least encountered — a product with the gluten removed. Because gluten-free is what low-carb was a decade ago: The “it” diet discussed on daytime talk shows, promoted by hyper-slim actresses and adopted by masses. Grocery aisles are stocked with the likes of gluten-free pasta, crackers, cereal and beer. Americans are enthusiastically exiling a dietary staple that wasn’t even in most people’s vocabulary a decade

ago. But why? Unlike some other dietary boogeymen like trans-fats, gluten is not inherently bad to eat. Only a small percentage of people can’t tolerate the protein, which occurs naturally in wheat, barley and rye. Plus, banning gluten from your diet can be really hard. Not only is gluten an essential element of traditional breads and pastas (it’s the protein that gives them their structure), it often is used as a thickening agent in processed foods, such as ketchup and ice cream. And cutting out gluten is no guarantee of weight loss. The fad seems to be partly fueled by the celebrity factor: Paltrow talks it up on her website, Clinton stirred online chatter this summer when she ordered a gluten-free cake for her big day, and the muscular guy on the funny Old Spice commercials recently told Jay Leno gluten is one of the things he cut from his diet. Then there are the claims that going “Gfree” makes you feel more energetic. “I feel better when I don’t do it. If I go out to a restaurant with friends and I have a beer and a plate of pasta I’m going to feel it the next day. No one wants a gluten hangover,” said Silvana Nardone, former editor-in-chief of Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine. Nardone, the mother of a teenage boy with a gluten intolerance, just released a cookbook of gluten- and dairy-free recipes titled “Cooking for Isaiah.” These sort of claims are common, if hard to

If a dinner free of gluten is needed at your table this spaghetti and meatballs with garlic crumbs recipe fits the bill nicely. prove. But that hasn’t slowed the industry’s growth. U.S. sales of glutenfree food has more than doubled since 2005 to over $1.5 billion, according to the market research company Packaged Facts. And the growth spurt is expected to continue at least through 2012. Gluten does affect some people, notably people with celiac disease. But celiacs, who suffer an immune reaction if they eat food with gluten, such as bread or pasta, are estimated to represent less than 1 percent of the population. Some other people have less severe gluten allergies or sensitivities. Dr. Alessio Fasano, director of the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, figures that up to 7 or

8 percent of the U.S. population have some kind of sensitivity to gluten. Yet about a quarter of U.S. adults are either trying to reduce or completely avoid gluten in their diets, according to the marketing firm NPD Group’s Dieting Monitor. That means most of the people eating gluten-free foods probably don’t have to, but want to. “Some of the people we’re talking about most are people who are dabbling in raw foods and dabbling in vegan and dabbling in different things and they see gluten-free as part of that world,” said Shauna James Ahern, better known as the popular blogger “Gluten-Free Girl.” Ahern, diagnosed with celiac at age 38 after feeling “low-level lousy” her whole life, said that even as dab-

blers drop the diet, they build awareness of gluten-free, which leads to more people getting diagnosed. That’s why she thinks the diet will still be around in a decade. Many of these gluten watchers are people like Akiia James, a 33-yearold news producer from Durham, N.C., who already was healthy and fit before she decided to cut out gluten and dairy several months ago. “The main thing is just feeling better after you eat, not feeling the weight of eating,” James said. “I mean, I never anymore feel like I’m stuffed ... I think I still eat the same amount, but the ingredients play a big part.” Why people report feeling better is not totally clear. And the connection may be indirect. People who eliminate gluten-rich foods may eat more produce, and therefore have a healthier diet overall, said Dee Sandquist, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Fasano suggests that gluten is generally harder to digest, perhaps because it was only introduced to the human diet about 10,000 years ago. In evolutionary terms, that’s not a lot of time to adapt to digesting a new protein. Dr. Brian Bosworth, associate director of the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, noted that while gluten can certainly be an irritant to some people, he wouldn’t make a blanket statement that it’s harder to digest for everyone. “I don’t think that, in general, that there’s a reason to strictly avoid it,” said Bosworth, who has celiac disease. Sandquist says there’s no harm in avoiding gluten, as long as you eat

a balanced diet. But she said it can be a challenge to eat a nutritionally sound without gluten, despite the recent proliferation of products. And watch out: just because a product is labeled gluten-free doesn’t mean it’s low in calories. And some gluten-free prepared meals can run high in both calories and salt. “There are just as many calories, if not more, depending on the food choices,” Sandquist said. “It’s all about the food choices.”

Recommended senior vaccines

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Outside of a seasonal flu shot, which I usually get, are public health officials recommending any additional vaccinations for seniors this flu season? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CAUTIOUS CAROL

DEAR CAROL: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (or CDC) is actually recommending several vaccinations for seniors right now: One for seasonal flu; one for pneumonia; and depending on your age and living circumstances, a Tdap booster shot for whooping cough. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

Seasonal flu

Just like every other year, a seasonal flu shot is strongly urged by the CDC, especially for seniors age 65 and older, because they have the highest risks of developing dangerous complications. The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills around 24,000 - 90 percent of whom are seniors. You also need to know that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seasonal flu vaccine will protect you against the H1N1 swine flu too, all in one shot. Seniors also will have the option this year of getting the new highpotency flu vaccine instead of a regular flu shot.

doctor first. Or, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ill with a fever you should wait until your symptoms pass.)

Pneumonia

Jim Miller Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org.

This new FDA-approved vaccine - known as the Fluzone High-Dose - will help boost your immune response which will give you extra protection from influenza. To locate vaccination sites near you, call your county health department or the CDC information line at 800232-4636 or visit flu.gov. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover your flu vaccination, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not covered you can purchase one at many retail pharmacy chains for around $25 to $30. (Note: if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allergic to chicken eggs, have a history of GuillainBarrĂŠ syndrome or have had a severe reaction to a flu shot in the past, you should not get vaccinated without consulting your

Pick up a little something for your chest pain.

The second vaccination the CDC is recommending to seniors is for pneumococcal pneumonia (the vaccine is called Pneumovax). Pneumonia causes around 40,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, many of which could be prevented by this vaccine. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over age 65 and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already gotten this shot you should get it now before flu season hits. Also covered under Medicare Part B, a shot of Pneumovax will provide you protection that will last for up to 10 years, and you can get it on the same day that you get your flu shot.

Whooping cough Whooping cough, formally known as pertussis, is on the rise this year with wide outbreaks in California and various other U.S. locations. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the CDC is also recommending all adults, ages 19 through 64 get a one-time dose of the Tdap vaccine (it contains three vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis) in place of the Td (tetanus, diphtheria) booster shot. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a Td booster within the

recommended 10-year mark, you should still get a Tdap shot now for protection against whooping cough. The Tdap vaccine, however, is not recommended to seniors age 65 and older unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around infant children, or are living in a community where a whooping cough outbreak occurs. The best move is to talk to your doctor about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for your specific situation. Medicare Part B does not cover the Tdap vaccine but some private health plans and many Medicare Part D prescription drug plans do. Be sure you check yours. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not covered, a Tdap booster shot will cost you around $50 to $75.

Savvy tips In addition to getting vaccinated, the CDC reminds everyone that the three best ways to stay healthy during flu season is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and stay home if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick.

Going nuts about nuts

Are you nuts about nuts? Do you give the squirrels a run for their money when those delicacies are ready? The climates and soils of North Carolina can produce bountiful nut crops from a handful of different nut species. Be forewarned: growing nut trees requires adequate space — it is not something for the city dweller! Probably the nut species that we are all familiar with in the South is the pecan. The pecan grows best in eastern North Carolina, but will do well in Lee County as well. Pecans are large at maturity, so plan on spacing trees 60 to 80 feet apart. Due to the way pollen is released from the tree, it is recommended to plant at least 3 different cultivars. Of course, plant trees away from the house and away from overhead power lines. Pecans can become dangerous in hurricanes! Black walnuts can be grown in our climate, but extraction of the nut can be challenging. Stay away from Carpathian and English walnuts, for they are not well-adapted to the area. Since pollination is similar to the pecan, you will need to plant a few different walnut cultivars for best pollination. A word

line. But how reliable is all that free information? North Carolina Cooperative Extension has long been a leader in utilizing the Internet, through web pages, in delivering our research-based information. In the physical world, Extension agents work in rural and urban centers throughout the country. Delivering information via the phone, letters, publications and newsletters was our mainstay. With the onset of email, we quickly adapted to this new media to deliver our messages. We have always prided ourselves on “going where the people are” in order to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land and economy of North Carolinians.

to the wise: the black walnut tree produces a chemical called juglone that is toxic to many plants (not humans!). Juglone is produced in all parts of the tree, including the roots. This means that walnut toxicity can continue for years even after the tree has been removed. Hickory trees don’t just produce great wood for barbeque; they also produce edible nuts. The hickory tree may not be at the top of the list for landscape trees (although the peeling bark is quite attractive). However, this tree is quite common in our forests. The hickory is closely related to the pecan and nuts are eaten in a similar fashion. Hazelnuts (or filberts), almonds, and pistachios do not grow well here and will produce a pitiful crop (if

any). Nuts are ready to harvest once they start to fall to the ground. Using a ladder for large trees is not advisable. You can harvest the remaining nuts by shaking the tree or its limbs with a long pole. Pick up nuts from the ground quickly to prevent quality degradation and, worse yet, animal scavenging. Most nuts have a high oil content that can go rancid quickly if not stored properly. Nuts can be stored in the freezer in airtight bags. Before freezing, shell the nuts to save space. If you have space, nut production can be a fun and rewarding endeavor. Feel free to go a little nutty (for nuts that is!).

Obesity hurts your wallet WASHINGTON (AP) — Obesity puts a drag on the wallet as well as health, especially for women. Doctors have long known that medical bills are higher for the obese, but that’s only a portion of the real-life costs. George Washington University researchers added in things like employee sick days, lost productivity, even the need for extra gasoline — and found the annual cost of being obese is $4,879 for a woman and $2,646 for a man. That’s far more than the cost of being merely overweight — $524 for women and $432 for men, concluded the report being released Tuesday, which analyzed previously published studies to come up

with a total. Why the difference between the sexes? Studies suggest larger women earn less than skinnier women, while wages don’t differ when men pack on the pounds. That was a big surprise, said study co-author and health policy professor Christine Ferguson. Researchers had expected everybody’s wages to suffer with obesity, but “this indicates you’re not that disadvantaged as a guy, from a wage perspective,” said Ferguson, who plans to study why. Then consider that obesity is linked to earlier death. While that’s not something people usually consider a pocketbook issue, the report did average in the economic value

of lost life. That brought women’s annual obesity costs up to $8,365, and men’s to $6,518. The report was financed by one of the manufacturers of gastric banding, a type of obesity surgery. The numbers are in line with other research and aren’t surprising, said Dr. Kevin Schulman, a professor of medicine and health economist at Duke University who wasn’t involved in the new report. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and childhood obesity has tripled in the past three decades. Nearly 18 percent of adolescents now are obese, facing a future of diabetes, heart disease and other ailments.

skim milk, for example. For a few other suggestions see my Healthy Breakfast in 5 Minutes suggestions. Next, have a strong reason for wanting to lose weight. That means you need to know why you should pass up that cookie. Is it because you want to be fit and in shape for bathing suit season? Or do you want to be healthy again? Recent research reported in the Journal of Consumer Research found: “When people focus on the concrete aspects of how they want to achieve goals, they become more closed–minded and less likely to take advantage of opportunities that fall outside their plans. In contrast, people who focus on the why are more likely to consider out — of— plan opportunities to achieve their goals.” The researchers concluded: “Planning is more effective when people think abstractly, keep an open mind, and remind themselves of why they want to achieve a goal.” Click here to figure out your reason why. There is also recent research from McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin showing that your ability to resist that tempting cookie depends on how big a threat you perceive it to be. In the study, participants were asked to estimate the calories in a cookie. Those participants with strong dieting goals construed the cookie to have more calories than it really did, and to be more damaging to their goal of losing weight. The message? If you have a real goal and desire, and create resistance skills, not willpower, you should be able to pass on the cookie. Try to stay occupied when you’re passing through the lobby. For in-

stance, listen to music or talk on the phone (good time for a quick catch–up call with an old friend). Or see if you could use another entrance and avoid the lobby altogether. There’s nothing wrong with avoiding temptation.

routes, a fun dance class. It also helps with problem solving. Perhaps your buddy “has been through it before” and can share the wisdom of his/her positive and negative experiences. Emotional sharing: It provides a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen. Inspiration, courage and coaching: Maybe you’re having trouble getting out and walking, or maybe you need someone to talk to about an upcoming party you know will be filled with your biggest food triggers. Whom should you choose? People you know? A support group or a person you just met? Recent research has demonstrated that social networks featuring many distant connections (e.g., “You’re trying to lose weight and are married — so am I — so let’s team up.”) produce the quickest change. But a new study by researchers at MIT Sloan School of Management reached a different conclusion: Individuals are more likely to acquire new “health practices” while creating networks with people they already know well. Q: Are there any mind tricks you know of to avoid those delicious cookies I see for sale every morning in the lobby in my office building? A: “Mind tricks?” — not exactly, but here are a few things you can do. First, make sure you’re well fed (not starving) when you pass through that lobby. Eat breakfast — a bowl of low–calorie cereal and

Q: I was told that swimming doesn’t help you lose weight. Is that true?

A: A study appearing in The American Journal of Sports Medicine in June 1987 showed that after six months or slightly longer, women assigned to a walking program lost 10 percent of their initial weight; the women who cycled lost 12 percent; and the women who swam lost no weight. The results of this study show that both walking and cycling are effective methods of reducing body fat, but that swimming is not. In this study calorie intake was not monitored. However, a more recent study from researchers at the University of Utah that appeared in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, did look at calorie intake. The researchers put 38 middle–aged obese women on a 13-week exercise–diet program and assigned the participants to one of three exercise groups: 1) walking on land, 2) swimming and 3) walking in water. Significant reductions in body weight — about 13 pounds — occurred in all groups. One of the most critical components of any exercise program is how long you’ll stick to it — will you do it long term, or is it just another fad for you? Researchers at the University of Western Australia divided 116 people into two groups and put them on either a swimming or a walking program three times per week for six months. The retention and adherence rates were the same in both groups after 12 months, and both groups lost weight. Swimming burns 422 calories per hour. Even treading water can burn 281 calories per hour. If you do decide to use swimming as your exercise of choice, it’s probably not a good idea to swim in very cold water. Researchers at the University of Florida, Gainesville, looked at the effects of cold water on post–exercise energy intake in two groups — one that swam in 91.5–degree water and the other in 68–degree water. While the two groups had similar calorie burn after swimming, the group that swam in the colder water ate 44 percent more than the other group after-
