Toni, a chihuahua short coat mix was recently brought in to Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption after being rescued from the Lee County Animal Shelter. CARA officials are among the many happy to hear the county’s decision to shut down its gas chamber.

GAS CHAMBER SHUT DOWN Animal Control also to propose tethering law, ordinance overhaul By ALEXA MILAN SANFORD — The efforts of vocal community members who are anti-gas chamber euthanasia seem to have paid off. The Lee County Animal Shelter will no longer use the gas chamber as a method of euthanasia, opting instead for euthanasia by injection. The gas chamber broke in June, and Lee County Health Director Howard Surface decided not to repair it. The gas chamber will be demolished in October. “I thought, ‘If there is this much concern in the community, maybe this is an opportunity to make a change,’” Surface said. Euthanasia via gas chamber in animal shelters is legal in North Carolina, but it’s an issue most animal welfare activists oppose. Surface said the

COMING THURSDAY

TETHERING LAW

amilan@sanfordherald.com

Part of the proposed changes to the animal ordinance in Lee County includes a tethering law. The law would include: ■ Banning tethering (tying up) an animal for longer than 12 hours in a 24-hour period ■ Requiring that all tethers be at least 15 feet in length ■ Requiring that shelter and water are always within reach ■ Fines for pet owners who do not meet the requirements of the new law

community’s input played a major role in the decision to switch to euthanasia by injection. “We weren’t doing anything illegal, but you have to look at what the community standards are,” Surface said. “This is what they feel is safer and more humane.” In June, Sanford resident Keely Wood distributed a petition to ban the use of gas chambers at the shelter on behalf of the North Carolina Coalition

for Humane Euthanasia. The petition encouraged the shelter to euthanize the animals they can no longer keep by injection of sodium pentobarbital, the method most often used by veterinarians. Wood said she jumped for joy the night she heard the news that the Lee County Animal Shelter would switch from gas

Dale Williams says he’s been banging his head against a wall trying to get Lee County Animal Control to investigate and follow through on abuse complaints he’s made against neighbors with dogs for months now. Upon hearing of the county’s plans to improve its code for animals on Tuesday, Williams said he was glad to hear about the effort, but as for his confidence that it will bring change ... “I’ll believe it when I see it,” he said. Others are taking a more optimistic approach to news a new ordinance that will include a tethering law and new wording to define animal abuse in Lee County. On Thursday, The Herald will gauge the community reaction to the news and go further into the proposed changes.

Conservatives rally at the bus

Readers rejoice: Store for used books coming soon

SANFORD — Lower taxes. Less spending. That was the message from a group of conservatives — identifying themselves as Tea Partiers, Republicans and none of the above — rallying in a Sanford Kmart parking lot Tuesday. More than 50 locals, GOP civic officials and political activists gathered for what they dubbed the “National Revolt Spending Tour,” in which a handful of speakers plan to make a nationwide circuit espousing slashed government spending.

SANFORD — Although it is hard to envision now, a vacant space in downtown Sanford is about to become a reader’s paradise. As of Friday, the building at 108 S. Steele St. will be in the midst of a makeover. When the clean out is complete and the transformation debuts in early November, Sanford will have its only free-standing used bookstore. The store, “Books at a Steal,” is a collaborative ef-

Almanac Today is Wednesday, Sept. 29, the 272nd day of 2010. There are 93 days left in the year. This day in history: On Sept. 29, 1910, the National Urban League had its beginnings as The Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was established in New York. In 1829, London’s reorganized police force, which became known as Scotland Yard, went on duty. In 1907, the foundation stone was laid for the Washington National Cathedral, which wasn’t fully completed until this date in 1990. In 1918, Allied forces began their decisive breakthrough of the Hindenburg Line during World War I. In 1938, British, French, German and Italian leaders concluded the Munich Agreement, which was aimed at appeasing Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his Vatican apartment just over a month after becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1980, The Washington Post published “Jimmy’s World,” a feature article about an 8-year-old heroin addict that went on to win a Pulitzer Prize; however, the story turned out to have been totally fabricated by the reporter, Janet Cooke. In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.) In 1990, the Washington National Cathedral, begun in 1907, was formally completed with President George H.W. Bush overseeing the laying of the final stone atop the southwest pinnacle of the cathedral’s St. Paul Tower.

AROUND OUR AREA ELECTION 2010

New political ad borrows from infamous video

A new political ad from Americans for Job Security has sliced footage of the now infamous “Who are you?” YouTube video featuring Bob Etheridge and has turned the question on his constituents in the 2nd Congressional District. AJS, which refers to itself as a pro-business issue advocacy organization, launched the ad Tuesday. It begins with footage of Etheridge asking an alleged students “Who are you?” when approached about his support for the Obama administration. The ad then cuts to three older constituents, who answer, “Abby,” “Richard” and “Sam.” They then criticize Etheridge for his voting record, and the ad ends with one of the constituents saying, “We’re the people who will vote you out.” “Rep. Etheridge has forgotten who his constituents are,” said Steve DeMaura, president of Americans for Job Security. “Etheridge failed to do his job in Washington, and as a result, North Carolina’s businesses are having a difficult time creating the jobs the state needs.” The YouTube video, which reached a few million views in its first week, ends with Etheridge becoming visibly upset and grabbing the man by his arm to bring him in closer. Etheridge publicly apologized for the

incident shortly after the video was released. — from staff reports

MOORE COUNTY

County can issue bonds for new jail CARTHAGE (MCT) — Moore County has received the all-clear to issue $41.4 million in bonds for a jail, public safety complex and water and sewer projects after the Local Government Commission rejected a lastminute appeal. The state board must approve local government projects before debt can be issued for them. The Local Government Commission judges each project on several grounds, including whether the proposal is necessary and expedient, whether the borrowing is adequate but not excessive, and whether good debt management procedures are in place. The $41 million bonds include $32 million for the jail — though construction costs are slated to be $27.2 million — and $2.5 million for water projects and $6.8 million for sewer projects. The board voted unanimously to allow Moore County to issue the bonds. County commissioners voted Sept. 20 by a 3-2 margin to approve construction of the jail, Sheriff’s Office and 911 communication center. McSwain said construction on the project could start as early as mid to late October. — Fayetteville Observer

A BIT OF EVERYTHING Reputation for quality antiques on the line again for fall fair By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

CAMERON — For more than 25 years, the streets of Cameron have buzzed each fall and spring with the sounds of shoppers in search of treasure. The tradition continues this year on Oct. 2, when the tiny town welcomes thousands of visitors to the Antiques Street Fair. While small geographically, Cameron has a big reputation in the antiques world. During fairs in the spring and fall, the shops sell their wares alongside approximately 250 vendors. “It’s real busy,” said Larry Coe, owner of This Old House Antiques and president of the Cameron Antique Dealers Association. “People can’t even imagine that Cameron can come alive like that for two days each year.” In the 1980s, Joyce Mehring of Sullivan’s Antiques was among the first owners to rent space in the former Greenwood Inn. Nearly a dozen antique dealers have sprouted in the vicinity of those first shops — most within the same threeblock stretch. Mehring credits Cameron’s charm, and its popularity among antiquers, to quaint buildings and a friendly atmosphere. “It’s a destination,” Mehring said, “and if they come, they come back.” While the promise of

a great find lures many outsiders to the village, said Prissy Hen co-owner Veronika Clark, “people come because it’s historic as well.” “I’ve heard people say when you come to Cameron, you step back in time,” Clark said. Opening the Prissy Hen in 2008 was the realization of a dream for Clark and co-owner Leslie Winslow. With five fairs under their belt, the pair is prepared for the barrage of customers hunting

for a bargain. “We have some real primitive things,” Clark said, “things your great grandmother would have used in the old farmhouse.” The shop offers items ranging from candles and benches to soaps and quilts. Some patrons “are not looking for any particular thing,” said Mehring. At Sullivan’s and neighboring stores, they will find an array of glassware, pottery, furniture and more. “All of the shops have a little bit of everything,” she said, “so [visitors] really need to go in every shop.” While the fair remains popular, Coe acknowledged that the recession has taken its toll. Most vendors did well in the spring, he said, “but not what they have done.” “There’s a lot of reasons, not just the economy,” Coe said. For instance, “e-bay has

changed a lot of things,” he explained, and not as many young people are taking over for older dealers. The fair is always a sizable effort for all involved, according to the shop owner, and turnout varies from year to year. Attendance has approached 10,000 in the past — with visitors coming from all over North Carolina and across state lines. “Everybody seems to be looking forward to it and working hard to make it a success,” Coe said. The shops will be open all day Friday — giving patrons a preview of the merchandise. During the event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., food and parking will be plentiful throughout the city. While the fair presents a challenge to the shops, Mehring said, “We look forward to it.” “It’s a lot of work,” she said, “but it’s worth it.”

A welcome break from the weather extremes Our View Issue We're coming off a snowy, cold winter, a short spring and a long, hot and dry summer for the ages. This week, we’re finally enjoying moderate temperatures and some rain

Our stance A “typical” fall would be most welcome ... the “extremes” have become tiresome for all of us

other Nature’s capriciousness has reached annoying levels. A cool fall, for those of us in this part of the country, turned into an extremely frigid (and white) winter. That gave way to a short (but wet) spring, which led to a summer we’ll remember for ages — the hottest in memory for our part of the state, with more than 90 days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees (breaking the old record of 83, set at the crescendo of Al Gore’s climate change debate in 2007). In terms of average high temperatures, the summer of 2010 will likely go down as the hottest on record in North Carolina — by almost a full degree, which, in meterological

terms, is a awful lot. (It’s not just us, of course. In fact, in Los Angeles, temperatures hit a record 113 degrees on Monday. Or at least, that’s what they think. The official thermometer at the National Weather Service office there sort of broke after hitting 113, but offiicals think it didn’t get any hotter.) Oh, and did we mention it’s also been dry? This week’s rains felt heaven-sent. Central North Carolina avoided the flooding that some parts of the state got, but those nearly three inches we saw fall were highly appreciated. More rain is coveted — er, forecast — for later this week. The cold front behind the rain is teasing us with weekend forecast temperatures that

will be “normal” for the first time in a long time — highs in the neighborhood of 70 (a neighborhood we’ve not visited for some time) and lows below 50, which is just hard to fathom, given what we’ve been through the last few months. Records, they say, were made to be broken, but the unbroken string of 90-degree days (and days where the heat index hit triple digits) we’ve just witnessed is something we all hope won’t repeat anytime soon. But it may portend the kind of “hot trend” you’d rather stay away from: in nearly 60 years of meterological data, the five hottest summers — based on temperatures recorded at Raleigh-Durham International Airport — have happened since 2005.

And even though this week’s rains ensured September won’t be the driest on record, the combination of the intense heat and the lack of rain spells serious trouble if precipitation doesn’t pick up significantly in the coming month. Some municipalities have announced water-use restrictions and you don’t have to travel far to see the weather’s negative impact on crops and gardens. There’s some hope. In addition to the pleasant forecast, a look at the active storms systems in the Atlantic suggests October could be a wet one. We certainly don’t hope for a hurricane, but if the whims of weather would allow a few rain bands to come our way, we promise — we’ll stop complaining.

Thankful for rain, cool

am so thankful for the rain we’ve received and the cooler weather that has found its way to our area this week. The delightful rains helped to clear the air and made everything seem so much more refreshing. The cooler weather is more fitting of the autumn season that is here rather than the hot temperatures that belong to summer past. Fall is a wonderful time of the year, a time of festivals, football and fun times before the winter season arrives. So, enjoy the cooler temperatures and a most wondrous time of the year.

Harvest sales — and food

On Saturday, I visited Center United Methodist Church as it was having its annual barbecue and chicken stew lunch and dinner. I’ve got to say that the good folks at Center served up some mighty fine barbecue with a plentiful helping. Various local churches are having harvest festivals and food sales. They are a lot of fun — and a good way to raise funding for church projects. Thanks, Center UMC, for a fine meal — and best wishes to all area churches who have plans for fall harvest festivals and food sales.

Photography contest

The Sanford Area Photography Club is having a contest for young people. It sounds like a lot of fun. It’s a photo contest, with three categories of photography — people, places and things. There are two age categories — younger than 13 and ages 13-18. To enter, the photographs must be submitted by Oct. 7 to the Enrichment Center. Here’s where you can find more information on the contest: www.sanlee. com/SAPC.

2011 Almanac

I recently received a copy of The Old Farmer’s 2011 Almanac. The Almanac is a tradition for many Americans, as it has been published for 219 years. Amazing! There are the continuing Almanac’s traditions, such as weather forecasts and maps. There are categories for reading like food, gardening and health & home. One of the more intriguing stories was a special report titled “Good Manners: What’s Changed, What Hasn’t, & What to Do Now.” Other great entries include, “23 Curious Cures For A Headache,” “Snakes in the House!” and “Eat Your Colors.” Recipes from the Almanac include The Ultimate To-Die-For Chocolate Cookie, Skillet Peach Pie and Parmesan and Onion Monkey Bread. Perhaps you’re simply looking for a calendar or some light reading. The Almanac is fun and delightful. I’m looking forward to reading it in more detail. This year’s edition is now available for purchase. Here’s hoping you’ll have a great week ahead!

Irony of Bishop Long W

ASHINGTON — One of the small ironies of the Bishop Eddie Long scandal is the preacher’s self-pitying complaint, in a Sunday sermon vetted by his lawyers, that he feels “like David against Goliath.” Really? Let’s see, on one side we have one of the most prominent and influential clerics in the country, the pastor of a suburban Atlanta megachurch that claims 25,000 members. On the other, we have four young men who claim in lawsuits that Long abused his clerical authority to lure and coerce them into having sex with him. Unlike the bishop, as far as I know, none of the accusers is driven around in a Bentley. Or is constantly attended by a retinue of aides and bodyguards. Or cultivates and maintains first-name relationships with famous politicians, athletes and entertainers. I’m pretty sure the preacher has that whole David-Goliath thing backward. A much bigger irony, of course, is that Long has been a vehement crusader against same-sex marriage — and against homosexuality in general. And the biggest irony of all is that his very public travails may force the African-American church to finally confront its long history of homophobic hypocrisy. Starting in 1987 with just 300 members, Long built the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church into one of the nation’s two or three biggest and most important black congregations. The 240-acre church complex is located in DeKalb County, one of the wealthiest majority-black jurisdictions in the country. The church is popular among Atlanta’s black celebrities, and its success has made Long a celebrity, too. In 2004, Long led a march to Martin Luther King Jr.’s gravesite in support of a Georgia constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Two years later, when it was decided that Coretta Scott King’s funeral would be held at New Birth — the Kings’ daughter Bernice is one of the ministers there — veteran civil rights activist Julian Bond was outraged. “I knew her attitude toward gay and lesbian rights,” he said of Coretta King. “I just couldn’t imagine that she’d want to be in that church with a minister who was a raving homophobe.” The black church in America has long mixed political activism with a deep social conservatism. But while polls show that the nation has become much more understanding and tolerant of homosexuality, the black church has been painfully slow to change. I wrote a column several years ago suggesting that black preachers come down from the pulpit and get to know their parishioners — and I still think that would be a good start. “This is probably the most difficult time in my entire life,” Long said in his sermon Sunday. “There have been allegations and attacks made on me. I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man. But I am not the man that’s being portrayed on tele-

vision. That’s not me. That is not me.” Then who is Eddie Long? The upstanding father of four who came to the pulpit handin-hand with his wife and denounced — but did not deny — the allegations against him? Or the manipulative sexual con artist who, according to his four accusers, does not remotely practice what he preaches? The four men, in their civil lawsuits, tell remarkably similar stories. They say that Long took a special interest in some of the young men who attended his church in Atlanta and a satellite church in Charlotte, N.C. They say he took them separately on trips to such destinations as Kenya, South Africa and New Zealand when they were teenagers — but above the age of consent in Georgia, which is 16. The men say that Long bought them lavish gifts, including cars and jewelry, and led them gradually into sexual activity, citing biblical passages as justification. One of the men says that Long performed a religious “covenant” ceremony with him that sounds strikingly like an exchange of marriage vows. I’m guessing that maybe Long has some questions of identity to grapple with. He might choose to seek and confront the answers, or he might not. But meanwhile, African-American preachers and worshipers across the nation are watching — and, one hopes, learning. “That is not me,” Long said. But what if it is? Nothing he learns about himself can negate all the good works he has done in his ministry — all the people whose lives he has changed with a message of faith and hope. Maybe he could forgive himself. Then maybe he could forgive all the gays and lesbians he so coldly condemns.

Today’s Prayer Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. — (2 Corinthains 4:16) PRAYER: Father, thank You for renewing our strentgh, when we have become too weak to make it alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I have waited until now to write about The Herald’s Sept. 15 frontpage article and the editorial that exposed the Lee County school system’s ruse. I should have known that Superintendent Jeff Moss and board chairman Shawn Williams would not come clean and admit that the ad hoc committee on communications wasn’t structured to produce results that the stakeholders want and should expect. Any hope of this succeeding was erased early when school board member John Bonardi was appointed to the committee. Bonardi was appointed to carry the water for Moss and Bill Tatum. Bonardi was the choice for the school board by the two of them during the last school board election. His ties to Tatum go back much further than their serving on the school board together. There is an abundance of evidence that Moss and Tatum have never been in favor of communications and transparency. Moss’ record of secrecy and his authoritarian management style, both in Beaufort County and here in Lee County, are well known. His idea of communications is requiring the school staffs to watch his podcasts about subjects that he chooses. In some instances, he has used podcasts to attack those who have been critical of his decisions and policies. It’s shameful that Moss also inserted himself into the ad hoc committee discussions, including nixing some ideas before they could be fully debated. It was predictable that Bonardi would throw a monkey wrench into the function of the ad hoc committee. He did so by persuading the Moss/Tatum-controlled school board to agree with him that the full committee’s recommendations should be circumvented. They agreed that only Bonardi, the chairman of the committee and school board member Cameron Sharpe would decide what recommendations would be made to the school board. Sharpe, to his credit, opposed the regime, as he has on many other issues that have not been in the best interest of students, parents and teachers. He should also be given credit for appointing members to the ad hoc committee that have the community interest and credentials to improve communications and transparency. Unfortunately, their chance to do so was thwarted by the regime. However, The Herald exposed the hypocrisy that will never be admitted. WILLIAM J. SADLICK Sanford

RALEIGH EXEC JETPORT

Celebrities, free flights headline jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Day Special to The Herald

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Celebrities and free flights for children headline FAMILY DAY @ the jetport presented by Capital Bank, the second-annual aviation festival slated for Oct. 9 at Raleigh Exec. More than 3,500 people attended last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural day of aviation-related activities and special events. Many said they were attracted by free plane rides for children, from ages 8 through 17, provided by the Experimental Aircraft Associa-

tionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Eagles. The plane rides will be offered again this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with new events added to the mix. Jonathan Trappe, who landed in the Guinness Book of World Records earlier this year for the longest cluster balloon flight of all time, will bring balloon exhibits and currently plans to make a balloon flight. Trappe also received notoriety this spring for becoming the first person ever to cross the English Channel in a chair attached to a cluster of

helium-filled balloons. Visitors who prefer their adventure on the ground can meet Burt Myers, a popular NASCAR driver who recently appeared on History televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madhouseâ&#x20AC;? series. A competitor on NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whelen Southern Modified Tour, Myers will sign autographs and give fans a chance to see the Capital Bank Ford he drove this year to his fourth track championship at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem. Most of the exhibits

focus on aviation. They include military aircraft, medical helicopters and vintage planes. Flyovers throughout the day will give visitors a chance to see plenty of planes in action. Some scheduled events are weather permitting and the exact military aircraft participating will be announced at Facebook. com/RaleighExec as they are confirmed over the coming week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the plane rides are a major attraction, but there will be a lot to do this year at Family

CCCC

Day,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Swanson, manager for Raleigh Exec. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a chance to sit in helicopters, see some very interesting planes up close, meet pilots and feel all of the excitement aviation has to offer.â&#x20AC;? Swanson noted that children planning to participate in the free Young Eagles flights need to have a parent or legal guardian present to sign registration forms, as required by EAA, an international organization that has provided more than 1.5 million free flights since 1992.

FAMILY DAY @ the jetport presented by Capital Bank, which runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., also is sponsored by Wilkinson Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC of Sanford, The LPA Group and Eastern Aviation Fuels Inc. Festival parking, admission and most attractions are free. A fee will be charged for rides in some specialty aircraft. Raleigh Exec: The Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County is located at 700 Rod Sullivan Road, just off of U.S. 1 at Exit 76 (Farrell Road).

School has first PBIS celebration

PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Students at Chatham Middle School showcased their vocal talents with the first official round of PBIS (formerly PBS), schoolwide celebrations on Sept. 22. The event was held in the school gym, and took place at three separate time slots to accommodate each grade level. PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Inventions and Supports and is a school-wide student behavior improvement model that most schools in Chatham County Schools use. Students had the opportunity to sing as well as play guitar and the drums while performing using the video game, Beatles Rock Band. Some songs chosen from their multi-decade catalogue were â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yellow Submarineâ&#x20AC;?, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Got a Feeling.â&#x20AC;? Other students preferred to forgo Rock Band and take a chance singing

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sanford and Lee County drug agents conducted a swath of raids late last week that netted three arrests and a small stash of marijuana plants in southern Lee County. Arrests are expected after investigators seized three pot plants in a wooded area off of Edwards Road near the intersection of Sheriff Watson Road Friday. The investigation into the marijuana growth is ongoing, deputies said. In three unrelated arrests, agents took two women and a man, all of them from Sanford, into custody on various drug possession and trafficking charges last week. David Allen Bell, 23, of 414 Maple St. in Sanford, was charged Friday with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia after he was found with 3 grams of crack cocaine. Bell was being held

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; special to The Herald

in Lee County Jail under a $3,000 secured bond. On Bell Thursday, investigators arrested Stephanie Quick McLean, McLean 44, of 215 Chisholm St. in Sanford, after she allegedly sold the preMcLeod scription painkiller Percocet and morphium to an undercover agents on two occasions. McLean is charged with trafficking opium and maintaining a dwelling to store drugs. She was held in Lee

County Jail under a $200,000 secured bond. Meanwhile, agents on Thursday also arrested Lori Smith McLeod, 46, of 31 Christopher Lane in Sanford, after she was found with 32 dosage units of crack cocaine, investigators said. McLeod is charged with possession with intent to sell cocaine, maintaining a vehicle to store drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. McLeod was held under a $4,000 secured bond. Of those arrested last week, McLean has the most extensive criminal history, having been convicted in Lee County a decade ago on 13 counts of writing worthless checks. McLeod has no history of criminal convictions in North Carolina, while Bell has faced a handful of traffic charges.

chamber euthanasia to lethal injection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sat in on an animal control meeting and learned a lot listening to them re-write the animal bylaws for Lee County,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are moving in the right direction.â&#x20AC;? Abbey Lindauer of Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, who has served as a consultant to the Board of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal control subcommittee, said she is thrilled the shelter switched to injections because the cons of gas chamber euthanasia far outweigh the pros. She said there are reports of gas chambers in North Carolina exploding and giving shelter staff carbon monoxide poisoning. There have been cases in which animals have gone through the gas chamber but not died the first time. And according to a 2009 study from the American Humane Association, it costs about $2.29 per animal to euthanize by injection, while gas chamber euthanasia costs $4.66 per animal. Lindauer said injection also allows animals to die more quickly and peacefully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Packing up the animals and starting the gas chamber and running its cycle and letting it decompress properly, that can

The group has made stops across the state in recent days. Tour organizers describe themselves as a coalition of taxpayers, families and policy organizations making non-partisan efforts to curb government spending, although the bulk of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digs came against Democrats, liberals and, in particular, President Barack Obama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire ants are like liberals,â&#x20AC;? said Dallas Woodhouse, state director of the conservative Americans for Prosperity organization and one of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominent speakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce anything, but they will come out and sting everybody who does.â&#x20AC;?

take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To inject an animal, it usually takes about five minutes.â&#x20AC;? Surface said he feels the time is right for the change, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without some challenges. One concern, he said, is that limited staff will be doing hundreds of injections a week. The more hands-on process of euthanasia by injection is more comforting to the animal, but could lead to â&#x20AC;&#x153;euthanasia fatigueâ&#x20AC;? for the staff. Surface said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want shelter staff to grow weary and leave, or become desensitized to the euthanasia process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want those people to love animals and do the best they can,â&#x20AC;? Surface said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy task for them.â&#x20AC;? Surface and the animal shelter staff have been working with Board of Health member and Willow Creek Animal Hospital veterinarian Diane Schaller to make sure the staff is welltrained and runs efficiently. Lindauer said CARA, the Board of Health and the Lee County Animal Shelter are also working with the Humane Society to develop low-cost spay/neuter options in Lee County. Spaying or neutering an animal in Lee County currently costs anywhere from $150-$300. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get your animal to Vass or Wake County, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of stuck,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. By educating people

about the importance of spay/neuter and potentially offering a low-cost option, Lindauer said she hopes animal overpopulation will be controlled to the point that one day, shelters may not have to use euthanasia at all. On the heels of the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s switch to euthanasia by injection also come several changes to Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal control ordinance. Surface said the issue with the gas chamber prompted the board to update the ordinance. The Board of Health formed the animal control subcommittee in fall 2009, and its revisions to the ordinance will be reviewed by the Board of Health in November before being presented to the Board of Commissioners in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it strengthens some ideas and gives better definitions to others,â&#x20AC;? Surface said. The draft of the revised ordinance includes enhanced sections on animal abuse and animals at large, as well as the addition of tethering regulations. The draft calls for animals to be tethered by a coated cable at least 15 feet long. Animals cannot be tethered by chains or ropes. The tether must be secured to a collar, it must be attached to swivels to prevent twisting or entanglement and shelter and water must always be within the animals reach. The draft says an animal can be tethered for a maximum of 12 hours a

day, though Surface said the maximum could be lowered before the final draft is presented. A few counties such as Durham County have banned tethering altogether, but Surface said the committee felt a restricted option should be available because there are many pet owners in Lee County without fences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step forward,â&#x20AC;? Lindauer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like it if no animal was tethered, but we also understand that there are certain situations in which people have no other alternative.â&#x20AC;? The ordinance also addresses educating people about the proper care of animals, because strengthening personal responsibility of pet owners, Surface said, will only help animal controlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service and efficiency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes we get, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is how I grew up. This is how I was raised,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Surface said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think you have to have that education.â&#x20AC;? Surface said the economic downturn prevented the board from making certain changes previously, but he hopes the revised ordinance will improve the quality of life for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals and benefit the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in this direction,â&#x20AC;? Surface said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to move in this direction. Now, things seem to be coming together.â&#x20AC;?

which included personalized messages from supporters at rallies across the country. Sanford City Councilman and N.C. House candidate Mike Stone, a Republican, added his signature to the bus Tuesday. Protesters focused their attacks on the federal stimulus package and healthcare reform, two initiatives that they say waste billions in taxpayer dollars. Supporters of the stimulus say the 2009 federal spending package invests billions in stabilizing the foundering American economy, creating jobs and bolstering education spending. Meanwhile, the healthcare initiative was designed to place greater restrictions on insurance companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to drop coverage and limit claims for the ill, particularly children, and open up policies for more

low-income Americans, proponents said. But speakers at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally said the Obamabacked legislation placed too much power in the hands of the federal government and would only result in increased premiums for typical policyholders as buffeted insurance companies scramble to make ends meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most importantly, it simply gets the government involved in decisions that should be left to families and doctors,â&#x20AC;? Woodhouse said. Conservative organizers are ramping up their attacks as the November midterm elections draw near, with many pundits predicting that Democrats will lose state and federal seats. Francis De Luca, president of the conservative John W. Pope Civitas Institute in Raleigh, told

protesters Tuesdays that they were being mislabeled by liberals and media outlets as â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremists.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the extremists out there,â&#x20AC;? De Luca said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The extremists are the ones who ran up the $13 billion deficit.â&#x20AC;? Some ralliers on hand were reluctant to identify themselves as Republicans, blasting both political parties for what they labeled wasteful spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a firm believer that we need a spending revolt,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Spofford, one Sanford resident who said he believes U.S. Congress members sign off on unfair legislation that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the time to read. Spofford said Congress should take steps to dismantle recent healthcare reform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to turn it over to the federal government,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Tammy Berg (from left), Karla Pomilio-Hancock and Lyn Hankins gather used books for donation to a new book store called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Books at a Stealâ&#x20AC;? which is set to open in October on Steele Street.

Books Continued from Page 1A

provides free books to preschool-aged children, while the coalition provides educational resources and other support for families. The bookstore was a leap of faith for Partnership Executive Director Lyn Hankins and Coalition Executive Director Carolyn Spivey. A volunteer committee formed at the beginning of this year to explore the idea and tally the pros and cons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really analyzed the options, just to see if pursuing a used bookstore was a good idea for the community or not,â&#x20AC;? Hurtig said. The group visited several book stores in the region to draw from their experience. When choosing a location, Hurtig added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They looked at other options, but downtown was the ideal spot they were looking for.â&#x20AC;? The 1,500 square-foot property will be leased from owner Marsh Asbill, who uses it mainly for storage. The store will not only give residents a new shopping venue, but also provide a new source of income for the non-profits. Both organizations subsist on grant funding, and in the recent economic climate, they have had to do more with tighter budgets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its a means of having funds added to what we get from our grants,â&#x20AC;? Hankins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for ways to sustain and enhance our services.â&#x20AC;? Getting the store cus-

tomer-ready could cost between $10,000 and $15,000, Hankins said, and the agencies are pursuing several sources of funding. They have applied for a grant from Downtown Sanford, Inc., which would fund exterior improvements, and their board members have been challenged to match contributions of $1,500. Throughout October, the organization is calling on the community to help with tasks like painting the walls, building shelves and organizing books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re depending heavily on volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Hankins said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;both now and in the future to serve as store clerks and help with operations.â&#x20AC;? The store also needs a supply of books, which is the purpose of a drive during the first two weeks of October. Donations of gently used hardbacks, paperbacks and books on CD are welcome, but items like text books, encyclopedias, magazines, condensed books, movies or music will not be accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like all types of books for children and adults,â&#x20AC;? Spivey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we go, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let the community tell us what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in, and we might branch out.â&#x20AC;? In the future, she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to use the store as a venue for having literacy events for children, especially, and do things that generate an interest in reading.â&#x20AC;? For adults, the venue may host book club gatherings or special activities featuring local authors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our community doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything like this, and we hope this is going to be something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for Sanford as well,â&#x20AC;? Spivey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another avenue for getting books into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands.â&#x20AC;? According to Hurtig, books at the store will be priced at least 50 percent below the cover cost. Contributions are already coming in, and Hankins said the community seems enthusiastic about the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are overwhelmingly pleased by the response from the public,â&#x20AC;? Hankins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fulfilling a need.â&#x20AC;?

WANT TO DONATE? Donations to Books at a Steal will be accepted at 133 Horner Blvd. on Oct. 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Oct. 7 and 14, they will also be accepted from 5 to 7 p.m.

STATE BRIEFS

Thousands may owe state for unemployment overpayments

RALEIGH (AP) — A state agency is telling thousands of long-term unemployed people they may have to refund some of their jobless benefits because they were mistakenly overpaid. The Employment Security Commission made about $28 million in overpayments to jobless North Carolinians over the last two years, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday. The ESC last week began sending letters to about 38,000 people who it said were either overpaid or underpaid through no fault of their own. About 15 percent of recipients were underpaid and will be eligible for additional benefits, the agency estimated. Others could apply for a waiver and avoid repayment.

The improper payments are the result of the ESC pulling compensation checks from the wrong funding sources and thus overdrawing some accounts, not the result of incorrectly calculating individuals’ benefits, spokesman Larry Parker said. The letters are required by federal law as the ESC manages separate funds corresponding to jobless benefits Congress extended several times, Parker said Tuesday. North Carolina has qualified for an additional extension because of its high unemployment rate. Recipients receiving letters have received unemployment benefits for a year or longer. Each recipient was being mailed between one and six letters depending on the number of times their benefits have been

extended. The final letter in the series tallies the amount owed or due to the unemployment claimant, Parker said. “A lot of these folks are not going to end up owing us money,” he said. Nikki Winterholler, 35, of Raleigh, has received two letters since Saturday. The first said she was overpaid $390 for the period April 24 to May 29. The second said she owed $569 for the period from March 6 to April 17. Winterholler said she has tried fruitlessly to make sense of the numbers. She just found a job after 18 months of unemployment and stopped collecting benefits Aug. 1. “Now I’ve got these people, who are supposed to help us, wanting more money back,” Winterholler said. “It’s

Poverty rate grows to 16.3 percent in 2009 in N.C. RALEIGH (AP) — The percentage of North Carolina residents living in poverty grew in 2009, in keeping with the national economic downturn. The U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday that 16.3 percent of all North Carolina residents, or roughly 1.5 million people, had income below the poverty threshold last year. The poverty level for a family of four is $22,000. In 2008, the state’s poverty rate was 14.6 percent. North Carolina’s rate was higher than the national poverty rate of 14.3 percent. A year ago, the U.S. rate was 13.3 percent. The results of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey had North Carolina and 30 other states with increases in the number and percentage of people in poverty last year.

like, ‘What on earth?’” Winterholler plans to apply to the agency for a waiver to have the overpayment forgiven. The waiver deadline is Oct. 8. “If their waiver’s not approved they would have to owe money back,” Parker said. “But we don’t know how many that’s going to be.” Winterholler said the ESC’s handling of the issue made her wonder whether the agency has been swamped by the state’s nearly 438,000 unemployed people. “It think they are so overwhelmed over there that they don’t know what’s going on,” she said. The agency has paid $5.4 billion in unemployment compensation to 920,000 North Carolina residents in the year ending in August, Parker said.

Disappointment with School for Deaf probe

RALEIGH (AP) — An advocacy group that found allegations of abuse and neglect at the North Carolina School for the Deaf said Tuesday that it was disappointed by a state investigation into the matter. Department of Health and Human Services officials said they did not conclude whether

the claims were true and instead focused on “systemic” problems at the Morganton facility. The school’s director was fired in August because officials felt that the abuse and neglect issues were not being addressed in a timely manner. “That’s about as far as we went related to that,” said Maria Spaulding,

a deputy secretary at DHHS who led the investigation. “There were no other actions taken for other staff.” The advocacy group Disability Rights North Carolina highlighted in July a handful of alleged abuse cases, including one student who reported that a teacher injured her and damaged her

personal property and that she was placed in a face-down restraint position, preventing her from using her hands to communicate through sign language. A student also reported that a teacher slapped and injured her, but that academic staff failed to investigate what happened. Disability Rights executive director Vicki Smith said she hoped investigators would closely look at the accusations. “I don’t know how they could investigate the system and ignore the individual claims,” she said. “I would have liked to see more specificity about how they’re going to change the culture at that school.” Smith said she was disturbed that the staff allegedly involved in the incidents were still working at the site. DHHS officials had previously said the investigation would look at the abuse and neglect allegations. Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler said in July that the findings were “significant enough to warrant a full investigation into the actions of the school’s top administrator and staff.” He said some staff might not have acted in the best interests of the children.

WALLBURG (AP) — A North Carolina-based company that keeps commercial airliners flying will create 275 jobs over five years as it expands a division that manufactures aircraft seats. Privately owned TIMCO Aviation Services said Tuesday it plans to expand its Brice Seating subsidiary with a new plant about 20 miles west of its Greensboro headquarters. TIMCO now employs nearly 1,200 in Greensboro. The jobs will pay an average of $34,728 a year plus benefits, about 17 percent above the Davidson County average. TIMCO said in June it was scouting sites in North Carolina and other states to expand the Brice division. North Carolina offered up to $2 million in sweeteners if the company meets employment and investment targets. Davidson County and Wallburg town officials were scheduled to meet Tuesday evening to considering spending $1.5 million to buy an empty electronics factory in Wallburg for Brice’s new plant. The company plans to invest $2.75 million at the facility where it will increase production of lightweight passenger seats.

coast of South Carolina and North Carolina on Thursday. The heaviest rains could fall in the same places that flooded Monday. A flash flood watch already has been issued for areas around Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. More than 10 inches of rain fell Monday in Wilmington. Streets flooded and hundreds of accidents were reported. Forecasters say the next storm could bring 6 to 10 more inches of rain, causing more extensive flooding. Heavy rains also are expected in Charleston, where up to 4 inches of rain Monday combined with high tide to cause flooding.

Official wants feds to tackle bedbug resurgence RALEIGH (AP) — One North Carolina official is calling in the cavalry in the fight against bloodsucking bedbugs. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is calling on the federal Environmental Protection Agency to fasttrack pesticides for use against the creatures. DDT nearly wiped out the pests 50 years ago but is no longer used in the U.S. And other pesticides have been less effective. Last year, Ohio officials asked for the approval of a new kind of pesticide for use in homes against bedbugs. But the EPA has not yet given its permission. In the last two months, bedbug infestations have been found on three university campuses in North Carolina and in a barracks room at Camp Lejeune.

Man pleads to killing wife in Davidson County LEXINGTON (AP) — A man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to stabbing his wife to death in Davidson County earlier this year. The Winston-Salem Journal reported that 55-year-old Beresford Allen Campbell pleaded guilty to first-degree murder Monday. Prosecutors say 48year-old Beverly Wiley was stabbed to death May 30 after she argued with Campbell as they drove along a highway. Campbell read a letter to their 6-year-old son and Wiley’s family, saying Satan and demons had entered his mind. He says he never intended to hurt anyone. Campbell avoided a possible death sentence by pleading guilty. The boy was in the car at the time but was not hurt.

Robbery suspects shot dead by Pizza Hut worker CHARLOTTE (AP) — Police say a North Carolina pizza restaurant worker being herded toward a cooler pulled a gun and shot and killed two robbers. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that police were searching for a third man who got away from an east Charlotte Pizza Hut restaurant. Authorities say the robbers burst through the restaurant’s front door late Monday as two workers were cleaning up in the back. Investigators say the suspects ordered the two employees into a walk-in cooler, then started beating one of the men. The other employee pulled a handgun and opened fire. Police say they found two handguns near the dead suspects. Their names have not been released. No charges have been filed against the armed employee.

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER IN OHIO

CARTER SICKENED ON PLANE, RESTS AT HOSPITAL By MEGHAN BARR Associated Press Writer

CLEVELAND — Former President Jimmy Carter, on a trip promoting his new book, developed an upset stomach on a flight to Cleveland on Tuesday and was staying at a hospital overnight at his doctor’s recommendation. Carter’s grandson, Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, said his 85-yearold grandfather was doing fine. “He’s definitely resting comfortably and expected to continue his book tour this week,” Jason Carter said. “I haven’t talked to him, but nobody in the family is concerned.” The former president planned to stay the night at MetroHealth hospital in Cleveland, according to a statement from the Carter Center, an Atlanta-based nonprofit known for its international work on human rights and public health. He planned to resume his book tour Wednesday in

Carter, on a trip promoting his new book, developed an upset stomach on a flight to Cleveland and was taken to the hospital for observation, officials said. AP photos

Washington D.C. Carter was a passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Cleveland when he became ill. After the plane landed, he was taken off by rescue crews, said Jackie Mayo, a spokeswoman at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. He was wheeled into

an emergency room at MetroHealth on a stretcher and later was up and walking around, said Mary Atkins, who had taken her daughter to the hospital for medical treatment and saw Carter from a nearby room. “He walked by the room and he was saying he was ready to go,” she

said. “They had Secret Service everywhere.” President Barack Obama called Carter from Air Force One as he traveled from New Mexico to Wisconsin, White House spokesman Bill Burton said. Carter was feeling great, Burton said. About 500 people had waited in line Tuesday

afternoon at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in suburban Cleveland, where Carter was scheduled to sign copies of his new book, “White House Diary.” The event was later canceled, as was a Tuesday night appearance at the Regulator Bookshop in Durham, N.C., according to his publisher. “It’s crazy for an 85-

year-old guy to fly ... just to sign some books,” said Regulator Bookshop co-owner John Valentine. “He’s a brave guy. His health is most important.” Carter was next scheduled to appear at two events in Washington, including one at the Smithsonian Institution, said Kathy Daneman, publicity manager at publisher Farrar, Straus & Giroux. In the book, Carter said he pursued an overly aggressive agenda as president that may have confused voters and alienated lawmakers. But he said the tipping points that cost him the 1980 election were the Iran hostage crisis and the Democratic primary challenge by U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy. Carter, a former peanut farmer elected to the White House in 1976, has spent his recent years pursuing peace and human rights, efforts that won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Obama both rallies, scolds Dems in campaign trip

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Buck up. Stop whining. And get to work. Clearly frustrated by Republicans’ energy — and his own party’s lack of enthusiasm — President Barack Obama scolded fellow Democrats even as he rallied them Tuesday in an effort to save the party from big GOP gains in the crucial midterm elections. In the final month of campaigning, he’s trying to re-energize young voters, despondent liberals and other Democrats whose excitement over his election has dissipated. “It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines,” the president declared in a Rolling Stone magazine interview. He said that supposed supporters who are “sitting on their hands complaining” are irresponsible be-

President Barack Obama addresses an invited group of guest at the home of Andy Cavalier Tuesday in Albuquerque, N.M. cause the consequences of Republican congressional victories could be dashed Democratic plans. He gave an example during a backyard conversation with New Mexico

voters, arguing that Republicans would reverse the progress he’s made on education reform and student aid. “That’s the choice that we’ve got in this election,” Obama said,

underscoring the stakes of Nov. 2 before heading to a rally at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. It’s the first of four large rallies planned for the campaign homestretch

as the president tries to rekindle some of his 2008 campaign magic and fire up young supporters and others who helped elect Obama but who Democrats fear may stay home this fall. Top lieutenants Vice President Joe Biden, Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine and Cabinet members also fanned out on other college campuses to call party foot soldiers to action. At Penn State University in State College, Pa., Biden noted he was criticized a day earlier in New Hampshire for urging Democrats to “remind our base constituency to stop whining and get out there and look at the alternatives.” “All I heard when I got here in Happy Valley was the roar of lion. Folks, it’s time for us to roar,” Biden said, pressing his audience to knock on doors, make

phone calls and commit to vote. With the elections looming, the White House and Democratic Party are focused primarily on trying to compel their core voters — liberals and minority groups — as well as the ideologically broad coalition that helped elect Obama in 2008 to participate in the first congressional elections of his presidency. They have little choice. Midterm contests largely come down to which party can get out more of its backers. And polls show that Republicans are far more enthusiastic this year partly because of tea party anger. Also, polls show Democrats can’t count on independent voters who carried them to victory in consecutive national elections.

GUNMAN OPENS FIRE AT UT, KILLS HIMSELF By KELLEY SHANNON Associated Press Writer

AUSTIN, Texas — A student wearing a dark suit and a ski mask opened fire Tuesday with an assault rifle on the University of Texas campus before fleeing into a library and fatally shooting himself. No one else was hurt. The shooting began near a fountain in front of the UT Tower — the site of one of the nation’s deadliest shooting rampages more than four decades ago, when a gunman ascended the clock tower and fired down on dozens of people. Within hours of Tuesday’s gunfire, the school issued an all-clear notice, but the university remained closed, and the area around the library was still considered a crime scene. “Our campus is safe,” school President Bill Powers said. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo expected the school to be “completely open and back to normal” by Wednesday morning. Authorities identified the gunman as 19-year-old Colton Tooley, a sophomore math major. His parents did not immediately respond to a message left by The Associated Press. The 50,000-student university had been on lockdown while officers with bomb-sniffing dogs carried out a building-bybuilding manhunt.

Soldiers prepare to enter Calhoun Hall at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas on Tuesday. A gunman opened fire Tuesday inside the Perry-Castaneda Library then fatally shot himself, and police are searching for a possible second suspect, university police said. After the gunfire, authorities searched for a possible second shooter, but they eventually concluded the gunman acted alone. Confusion about the number of suspects arose because shots were fired in multiple locations, and officers received varying descriptions from witnesses, campus police Chief Robert Dahlstrom said. Before reaching the

library, the gunman apparently walked for several blocks wearing a mask and dark clothing and carrying an automatic weapon, witnesses said. Construction worker Ruben Cordoba said he was installing a fence on the roof of a three-story building near the library when he looked down and made eye contact with the suspect.

NC BIG SWEEP

“I saw in his eyes he didn’t care,” Cordoba said. The gunman continued down the street, firing three shots toward a campus church, then changed direction and fired three more times into the air, Cordoba said. A garbage truck driver leaped out of his vehicle and ran away, as did a woman carrying two babies, the construction worker said. “I’m not scared, but I was scared for the people around me,” Cordoba said. Randall Wilhite, an adjunct law professor, said he was driving to class

when he saw “students start scrambling behind wastebaskets, trees and monuments,” and then a young man carrying an assault rifle sprinting along the street. “He was running right in front of me ... and he shot what I thought were three more shots ... not at me. In my direction, but not at me,” Wilhite said. The professor said the gunman had the opportunity to shoot several people, but he did not. Police said it was unclear whether the gunman was targeting anyone with the AK-47.

Oscar Trevino, whose daughter works on campus, said she told him she was walking to work near the library when she heard two shots behind her. She started to run and fell down. She said she later heard another shot. “She’s freaking out. I’m trying to calm her down. I’ve just been telling her I love her and relax, everything’s fine,” Trevino said. Acevedo said officers were able to track the gunman’s movements with the help of students who “kept pointing in the right direction.” The police chief said he believes the gunman ran into the library as officers closed in on him, then shot himself in the head on the sixth floor. Police did not fire any shots, Acevedo said. Powers credited the school’s crisis-management plan and social networking for quickly warning students, faculty and staff. The university’s text messaging system reaches more than 43,000 people, he said. Laura Leskoven, a graduate student from Waco, said she was in a media management class when she received a text message from the university saying there was an armed person near the library. For the next 3½ hours, Leskoven and about 30 of her classmates sat in a locked conference room trying to keep tab on events through Twitter, blogs and text messages. “We were kind of shocked,” Leskoven said. “Our professor said, ‘Well, we need to get upstairs’ because we were on the first floor of the building.”

NATION BRIEFS Gallup: Depression up 25 percent on Gulf after oil

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — Before the BP oil spill, the Gulf Coast was a place of abundant shrimping, touristfilled beaches and a happy if humble lifestyle. Now, it’s home to depression, worry and sadness for many. A Gallup survey released Tuesday of almost 2,600 coastal residents showed that depression cases are up more than 25 percent since an explosion killed 11 people and unleashed a three-month gusher of crude into the Gulf in April that ruined many livelihoods. The conclusions were consistent with trends seen in smaller studies and witnessed by mental health workers. People just aren’t as happy as they used to be despite palm trees and warm weather.

A “well-being index” included in the Gallup study said many coastal residents are stressed out, worried and sad more often than people living inland, an indication that the spill’s emotional toll lingers even if most of the oil has vanished from view. The Gallup survey was conducted in 25 Gulf-front counties from Texas east to Florida over eight months before and after the spill, ending Aug. 6.

Many records were set or tied. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power on Monday recorded its highestever demand for electricity as round-the-clock demand for air conditioning caused transformers to blow or burn out, leaving thousands of people in the dark. The department said more than 11,000 customers remained without electricity Tuesday in the city, while Southern California Edison was working to repair heatrelated outages for more than 27,000 customers.

Consumer, business confidence both weaken, says report NEW YORK (AP) — Americans’ view of the economy turned grimmer in September amid escalating job worries, falling to the lowest point since February. The downbeat report was released Tuesday on the same day a survey of CEOs was released that showed dimming optimism about business. The Business Roundtable’s poll indicated that executives weren’t as optimistic about sales growth as they were in June, suggesting some are putting plans to hire more workers on hold. The Conference Board, based in New York, said its monthly Consumer Confidence Index now stands at 48.5, down from the revised 53.2 in August. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting 52.5.

OBITUARY

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gloria Stuart, the 1930s Hollywood leading lady who years later became the oldest Academy Award acting nominee for her role as the spunky survivor in “Titanic,” has died. She was 100. Stuart died of respiratory failure Sunday night at her Los Angeles home, her daughter, Sylvia Thompson, said Monday. The actress had been diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago and had beaten breast cancer about 20 years ago, Thompson said. “She did not believe in illness. She paid no attention to it, and it served her well,” Thompson said. “She had a great life. I’m not sad. I’m happy for her.” In her youth, Stuart was a blond beauty who starred in B pictures as well as some higher-profile ones such as “The Invisible Man,” Busby Berkeley’s “Gold Diggers of 1935” and two Shirley Temple movies, “Poor Little Rich Girl” and “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” But by the mid1940s she had retired. She resumed acting in the 1970s, doing occasional television and film work, including Peter O’Toole’s 1982 comedy “My Favorite Year.” But Stuart’s later career would have remained largely a

Actress Gloria Stuart died of respiratory failure at her Los Angeles home Sunday. She was 100. footnote if James Cameron had not chosen her for his 1997 epic about the doomed luxury liner that struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. Stuart co-starred as Rose Calvert, the 101year-old survivor played by Kate Winslet as a young woman. Both earned Oscar nominations, Winslet as best actress and Stuart as supporting actress. “I am so saddened to hear of the loss of this remarkable woman,” Winslet said. “I feel blessed to have met her, known her and to have acted alongside her. Anyone who spent time in her presence will know what an extraordinary shining light she truly was. She will be deeply missed.” Cameron wanted

an actress who was “still viable, not alcoholic, rheumatic or falling down,” Stuart once said. Then in her mid-80s, Stuart endured hours in the makeup chair so she could look 15 years older. She also traveled to the Atlantic location where the wreck of the real Titanic was photographed. “The sparkle in her eye was as bright at her hundredth birthday party as it was when I first met her in 1996, and, I’m sure, as it was when she was a silver screen star in the early 30’s or a young girl running through the orange orchards of Santa Monica in 1920,” Cameron said in a statement to The Associated Press. “Titanic” took in $1.8 billion worldwide to become the biggest modern

blockbuster, a position it held until Cameron’s “Avatar” came along last year and passed it on the box-office chart. It was the first time in Oscar history that two performers were nominated for playing the same character in the same film, and it made the 87-year-old Stuart the oldest acting nominee in history. “Anchors aweigh!” Stuart said when nominations were announced in February 1998. The film’s release was preceded by delays and speculation that it could turn into a colossal flop. Of the film’s doubters, Stuart said: “They were dissing it all around. That happens in Hollywood.” Stuart was thought by many to be the sentimental favorite for the supporting-actress prize, but the award went to Kim Basinger for “L.A. Confidential.” Leonardo DiCaprio, who appeared in “Titanic,” said Stuart “was a force both on and off screen.” “An amazingly sweet person, a fantastic actress, and someone who always fought for what she believed in. She was one of the last great actresses from the Golden era of Hollywood,” DiCaprio said in a statement through his publicist.

Hallmark, Paris Hilton settle ‘that’s hot’ lawsuit KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hallmark Cards Inc. says a greeting card using Paris Hilton’s “that’s hot” catch phrase and image was meant as a parody. But the celebrity socialite apparently didn’t appreciate the humor. Hilton The Kansas Citybased greeting card giant and the hotel heiress have reached a settlement in a 3-year-old lawsuit over the card, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday. The deal was sealed, and Hallmark spokeswoman Julie O’Dell declined to provide details. Messages left with Hilton’s attorney were not immediately returned. Hilton’s lawsuit had sought a half-million dollars. “All I can say is we did settle,” O’Dell said. “We were able to reach a mutually acceptable conclusion.”

Estefan climbs windows during Dolphins game MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Singer Gloria Estefan made a daring climb out a window after getting locked into a stadium suite during a Miami Dolphins game. The musician was watching the game against the New York Jets on Sunday from her suite at Sun Life Stadium and was set to introduce Latin singer Enrique Iglesias during the halftime show. But Estefan was locked inside. A locksmith, security officers and firefighters tried unsuccessfully to unlock her door. So Estefan took matters into her own hands. WPLG-TV reports that Estefan kicked off her Dolphin green Yves SaintLaurent pumps and climbed out the window into the suite next door. She ran out the door and across the field and made it onstage just in time.

an official in Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec reached by a satellite telephone. “We have been using a backhoe but there is a lot of mud. We can’t even see the homes, we can’t hear shouts, we can’t hear anything,” he said. An eighth person was killed in another mudslide in the state of Oaxaca. Weeks of heavy rains, including those brought by Hurricane Karl and Tropical Storm Matthew, have caused havoc and dozens of other deaths in southern Mexico, Central America and parts of South America. Vargas said the slide dragged houses packed with sleeping families some 1,300 feet (400 meters) downhill, along with cars, livestock and light poles. “We were all sleeping and all I heard was a loud noise and when I left the

house I saw that the hill had fallen,” Vargas said. “We were left without electricity, without telephone and we couldn’t help them. There was no way to move the mud.” Vargas said he contacted the governor on the town’s satellite phone but that eight hours after the slide no rescue crews had reached the area. “There is no way to communicate, the roads are shut down. All we have is this satellite phone,” Vargas said. Meanwhile, Vargas said there is another hill about to give way in another area of the community of 9,000 people. “We are in a serious risk situation,” Vargas said. “In all of our neighborhoods there are houses and roads cracked and about to fall.” Rescuers were flying in from Mexico City

and emergency personnel have been sent to the town about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Oaxaca, the closest large city. “There has been lots of rain, rivers have overflowed and we’re having a hard time reaching the area because there are landslides on the roads,” Ruiz said. The federal Interior Department issued a statement that rescue workers from the army, navy and federal police were being flown to the area with rescue dogs and heavy machinery. Marin, the Oaxaca emergency official, said rescue crews had yet to reach the area. President Felipe Calderon offered his condolences in a statement and said Interior Minister Francisco Blake would be in charge of coordinating federal rescue efforts.

NORTH KOREA

Son of Kim Jon Il elected to top role

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The youngest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was elected to his first leadership roles in the ruling Workers’ Party, state media said early Wednesday, putting him well on the path to succeed his father as leader of the nuclear-armed nation. The announcement of Kim Jong Un’s election to key party positions during the nation’s biggest political convention in 30 years came a day after news that Kim Jong Il had made him a four-star general. Until Tuesday, Kim Jong Un had never appeared in state media, and the military promotion marked his official public debut. Kim Jong Il, 68, is widely believed to be preparing the son, who is in his late 20s, to succeed him

DRENCHED HILLSIDE COLLAPSES, AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED

OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — A hillside collapsed on hundreds of sleeping residents Tuesday in a rural Mexican community drenched for days by two major storms, killing at least seven and leaving at least 100 missing, disaster officials said. The death toll could rise much higher in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, a town about 130 miles (220 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City. Oaxaca state Civil Protection operations coordinator Luis Marin said 100 people were confirmed missing, but Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz told the Televisa television network 500 to 1,000 people could be buried. At least 100 homes were buried, and residents who made it out have had no success in digging out their neighbors, said Donato Vargas,

WEATHER TRIVIA

as leader and to take the Kim reign in North Korea to a third generation. The elder Kim, who rules the nation of 24 million with absolute authority, reportedly had a stroke two years ago and is said to be suffering from diabetes and kidney trouble. Kim Jong Un was named a vice chairman of the party’s Central Military Commission as well as to the party’s Central Committee, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch from Pyongyang. Kim Jong Il’s younger sister and her husband also were elected to powerful party positions, including membership to the Central Committee, according to KCNA. Kim Jong Il, who serves as general secretary of the Worker’s Party and leads

the country as chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, attended the one-day political conference, the report said, but there was no mention of whether his son made an appearance. The son has remained well-hidden from public view, and there are no verifiable photos of him as an adult. He is said to have been schooled in Switzerland and to have graduated from his nation’s premier military university. The secrecy surrounding him is reminiscent of Kim Jong Il’s own political campaign in the 1970s, when his status as the nation’s future leader was confirmed in an appearance at the last major Workers’ Party gathering: a party congress in 1980.

He took over as leader when his father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994, completing a father-to-son transfer of power that was a first for the communist world. Kim Jong Un’s positions on the military commission and Central Committee would be his first political posts. The military commission is authorized to formulate the party’s military policies, direct the country’s 1.2 million-member army and oversee military build up projects, according to South Korea’s Unification Ministry. Kim Jong Il — who rules the nation under a “songun,” or military first, policy — remains chairman of the commission, KCNA said.

Amtrak reveals vision for East high-speed rail PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Amtrak on Tuesday unveiled a $117 billion, 30-year vision for a high-speed rail line on the East Coast that would drastically reduce travel times along the congested corridor using trains traveling up to 220 miles per hour. The proposal, which would require building a new set of tracks from Boston to Washington, D.C., is at the concept stage and there’s no funding plan in place, Amtrak President Joseph Boardman said at a news conference at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. The project would likely use some combination of public and private investment and hopefully be phased in starting in 2015, he said. The Next-Gen High Speed Rail line would have hubs in Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington and would cut travel times in half or better. It would reduce the travel time between Washington and New York from 162 minutes to 96 minutes, according to Amtrak. The travel time between New York and Boston would go from 215 minutes to 84 minutes. About 12 million riders a year use Amtrak along the northeast corridor.

Kennedy International Airport is under investigation. The Delta Connection flight was operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines and had 60 passengers from Atlanta. No one was hurt. Several aviation experts say a plane landing without its full gear can be harrowing but usually few injuries or fatalities result.

Officials: Swollen Wisconsin river should drop rapidly MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The swollen Wisconsin River should recede dramatically over the next day or so, giving an isolated rural neighborhood a chance to recover from three days of flooding, authorities said Tuesday. The Wisconsin River was expected to drop by 3 feet over the next 24 hours after peaking Monday at 20.6 feet. On Saturday, floodwater began surging around a mileand-half-long sand dike into low-lying areas of the Blackhawk Park neighborhood in Caledonia, just across the river from the city of Portage. Emergency officials warned people to evacuate Sunday but had no firm count of how many people had left. Columbia County Emergency Management Director Pat Beghin didn’t immediately return a message left for him Tuesday morning.

Georgia executes suicidal inmate after delays

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) — Federal Aviation Administration records show aircraft from the company that made a jetliner involved in an emergency landing in New York City over the weekend have experienced at least three other landing gear problems in the past two years. None of those problems resulted in injuries. The flights landed safely. A spokesman for Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Inc. contends there’s no issue with the safety of its aircraft. He notes the planes are used by airlines worldwide and have logged 22 million takeoffs and landings. The cause of Saturday’s emergency landing at John F.

JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia prisoner who tried to kill himself last week by slashing his arms and throat with a razor blade has been executed. Brandon Joseph Rhode was put to death Monday night by lethal injection at the state prison at Jackson. The 31-year-old man was pronounced dead at 10:16 p.m. by prison officials. The U.S. Supreme Court had earlier denied an appeal claiming that Rhode was subjected to inhumane treatment and was not mentally competent to be executed. The nation’s high court on Monday rejected pleas for a stay.

McAvoy comment adds fuel to fire for golf ’s top draw By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

K, the time has finally arrived. I have been at my best behavior all season regarding the television broadcasts, but that is all about to change. I haven’t said much this year because during the past four seasons it hasn’t done a bit of good — and I know it won’t change after this column. But I am ready to vent, so here goes. First of all, if any of you thought for a second that just because Jimmie Johnson had a bad race last week in Loudon that he would lie down and concede his fifth championship, then where have you been hiding the last four years? How many times has that team responded with a great race after a bad one, especially during the Chase? The cream always rises to the top, and that is probably where he will be when they get to Homestead. Every other driver in the Chase knows and realizes that he is the man to beat every week, and after that dominating victory Sunday they are probably hearing footsteps. Denny Hamlin doesn’t need to worry about the Childress cars or what his team is doing, because the 48 car is there and ready to race next week, too. All Johnson needs to do is put up a good showing in Kansas City and the rest can pack it in. The old saying goes that a driver can’t win the title in one week but he can lose it. Well Johnson may have wrecked that theory. He could have won it in Dover. Now about the broadcasts. What in the world was

BASEBALL HAMILTON ANTICIPATES RETURNING THIS WEEKEND

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton is swinging and catching. Hamilton took 20 swings with his own bat off a tee and then 20 swings off tossed pitches in the batting cage Tuesday, a day after hitting off a tee with a fungo bat. He then shagged balls in the outfield during batting practice. Hamilton, the majors’ leading hitter who hasn’t played since Sept. 4 because of two broken ribs, anticipates playing a game this weekend before the playoffs begin next week for the AL West champion Rangers. Hamilton seemed to be moving with ease in the outfield, though he didn’t throw any balls. He says he feels fine despite some tightness in his side.

Falcons exact revenge against county rivals By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee Christian soccer coach Eric Davidson made a challenge to his players to keep the momentum after giving up a goal to county rival Grace Christian late in the first half. It seems like the Falcons got his message. The Falcons moved into fourth place in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference after defeating their rival Crusaders 3-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Grace Christian School. “I was pleased with the way we came out in the start of the second half,” said Davidson. “I told our guys that we couldn’t allow a team like Grace to come out and get the momentum in the second half. I wanted us to play through that first 5-10 minutes without giving up a goal. I was pleased with how we responded.” Lee Christian (5-8, 3-5) got on the board first when Kane Kaufman scored off an assist from James Mlynczak in the 19th minute. The Crusaders tied things

NEWPORT, Wales — The Ryder Cup is getting personal for Tiger Woods. Interrupting an otherwise dull press conference Tuesday, Woods fired back at a comment Rory McIlroy made six weeks ago that “I would love to face” the world’s No. 1 player in the Ryder Cup unless his game rapidly improved. Asked for a reaction, Woods leaned into the microphone and said only, “Me, too.” The quote from McIlroy — the closest thing Woods to bulletin board material at Celtic Manor — came the week after Woods’ golf reached a low point in a dismal season. He had the highest score of his career and beat only one player in the 80-man field at Firestone. McIlroy was not worried that he had given Woods or the U.S. team any more motivation. “I’m fine. I’m all right,” said the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland. “You’ve got to realize, I said those things the week after he had just shot 18 over at Akron, so he wasn’t playing too well at the time.” Woods was aware of the comment before arriving in Wales. He mentioned the quote two weeks ago at Cog Hill while talking about Stephen Ames, whom Woods had beaten 9 and 8 in the Match Play Championship after Ames was quoted making fun of Woods’ accuracy. “At least Rory said, ‘Unless my game improves,’” Woods said in Chicago. There also were stories

DUKE FOOTBALL

Renfree, Blue Devils look to move on from losses By STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald-Sun

DURHAM — Sean Renfree isn’t running away from his problems, and Duke coach David Cutcliffe doesn’t see the rest of the Blue Devils doing so either. A redshirt sophomore quarterback, Renfree committed four turnovers in Saturday’s 35-21 homecoming loss to Army at Wallace Wade Stadium. By the time Cutcliffe saw him sitting in a front-row pew during a 7:45 a.m. church service Sunday, Renfree had reviewed the entire game film. “He watched both the offense and the defense Saturday night,” Cutcliffe said. “That’s just Sean. A lot of people are doing whatever they do. “One of the first things he said to me was, ‘Well, our defense played better. I watched that and watched it close.’ How can you be mad at that guy? That’s pretty special.” Cutcliffe and the players know they must match that kind of intensity and attention to detail if they are to break

their three-game losing streak when they play at Maryland (3-1) on Saturday at 6 p.m. The ugly loss to Army could serve to jolt them to attention. “We just weren’t there,” Duke wide receiver Conner Vernon said. “With five turnovers, you are not going to beat anybody. We had a lot of penalties, too. “We just, as an offense, didn’t come to play that day. We know if we do it again this weekend, it’s just going to be the same outcome. We have to get over what we did Saturday and move on.” Renfree moved on from his worst game as a college player by throwing himself immediately into film review. He saw a game where he tossed three interceptions and lost a fumble while attempting to scramble. Army turned the first four Duke turnovers into touchdowns to build a 35-7 lead and deflate the Blue Devils’ hopes. Renfree watched the game replays again Sunday and Monday.

BOBCATS TRAINING CAMP

SPORTS SCENE

Augustin needs confidence to keep PG job after Felton WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It appeared early this summer that Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jose Calderon would become Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point guard. Then the Bobcats appeared poised to acquire Devin Harris from New Jersey to replace the departed Raymond Felton. Deals for those players stalled, however. And while the trade-happy Bobcats may not be through dealing, the starting job now falls to a guy who acknowledges his confidence was shot during a miserable 2009-10 season: D.J. Augustin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you play in the NBA with no confidence youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a tough situation,â&#x20AC;? Augustin said Tuesday after the Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first practice of training camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I struggled last year.â&#x20AC;?

The slight, 6-foot Augustin had a steep fall from an impressive rookie season. The ninth pick in the 2008 draft averaged 11.8 points and led all rookies by shooting 89 percent from the freethrow line. He also shot 44 percent from 3-point range and made the NBA All-Rookie second team. But late that season Augustin pulled an abdominal muscle. The injury kept him out of games and then sidelined him for much of the summer. He returned last season a bit overweight and with demanding coach Larry Brown constantly in his ear. He made 5 of his first 21 3-point attempts and had a seven-game stretch early in the season in which he shot 6 of 27 from the field. Things got

so bad he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get off the bench in consecutive December games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he got down,â&#x20AC;? forward Gerald Wallace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he had a couple of DNPs and I think that really broke his confidence and made him focus on his shot.â&#x20AC;? Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much better, with Augustin still having some abdominal pain. He averaged just 6.4 points and shot 39 percent from the field as Brown turned to other players to back up Felton late in the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tough on him and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he handled it great,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think really he was hurt. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an opportunity last summer to work. I think that set him back a little bit. Toward the end of the year he started getting back.â&#x20AC;?

Soccer

The Falcons will take the rest of the week off before hosting undefeated Vandalia Christian next Tuesday. Grace Christian, meanwhile, is still trying to figure out a way to put the ball in the net as it dropped its fifth straight game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We dominated that game from the 6 to the 6,â&#x20AC;? said Crusader head coach Chris Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved the ball up and down the field, but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the net. We did everything right, but score.â&#x20AC;? The Crusaders were without three starters due to injury and played a variety of ninth and tenth graders in unfamiliar spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame injuries for our problems,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys have got to start taking responsibility and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to step up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got as much skill as anyone in this league, I know that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the heart that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lacking.â&#x20AC;? Of their five straight defeats, the Crusaders

(8-9, 2-6) have outshot their opponents in four of them, including Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Lee Christian. Afterwards, Pratt was complimentary of the effort the Falcons showed in the final stages of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lee dominated us in the effort category for the final 25 minutes,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they were able to get those two goals in that time frame. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing for us to lose like this.â&#x20AC;? The Crusaders are hoping that things go up from here in their next two games. On Thursday, they will travel to Grace Christian of Raleigh. Next Tuesday, they will travel to conference foe Alamance Christian, the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 seed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have to only go up from here,â&#x20AC;? said Pratt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team is young but the expectations for this team are not being met. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed in our effort. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on me. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better from here.â&#x20AC;?

with the way we played today. The mistakes we did make, someone else made up for by hustling on the other end. This was a good win for us.â&#x20AC;? Mlynczak scored the final goal of the match in the 65th minute, to make Lee Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead 3-1. The captain now has 15 goals and nine assists this season. The win puts the Falcons in fourth place in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference and drops the Crusaders to fifth. If the standings donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change between now and the end of the season, the Crusaders and Falcons will meet in the first round of the state tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to come to Grace and get a victory,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to come out of this series with a split. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more work to be done, though. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two tough games next week.â&#x20AC;?

VOLLEYBALL Falcons win in straight sets SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lee Christian volleyball team defeated county rival Grace Christian in three games (25-14, 25-16, 25-23) on Tuesday afternoon at Grace Christian School. The Falcons were led by Hannah Gladden with eight hits. Sarah Godwin added seven hits in the victory. Makailia Gillum had 21 service points for the Falcons while Erica Davidson chipped in with 16 assists. In junior varsity action, the Falcons defeated the Crusaders in two games (25-16, 25-9). Kelsey Clayton and Sarah Bowers had 13 service points apiece for Lee Christian.

TENNIS Union Pines stays unbeaten in conference play LILLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Union Pines girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis team continued its unbeaten Cape Fear Valley Conference season with a 9-0 victory over Western Harnett on Tuesday. The Vikings (13-1, 10-0) had wins in singles action from Melissa Tally, Brittany Jones, Madi Kramer, Laura Cameron, Virginia Priest and Shannon Simpson. In doubles, the team of Tally and Kramer, Jones and Cameron and Priest and Simpson all won their respective matches. With her win, Cameron became the fourth Lady Viking to reach the 40-win plateau. Her career record is 40-7.

TENNIS Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal wins conference meet SOUTHERN PINES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal School tennis team won its third straight Cape Fear Independent Conference match by defeating Village Christian Academy 8-1 on Tuesday afternoon. In singles, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brianna Ek, Amelia Schirmer, Victoria Scarpa, Mary Garner, Maggie Hakas and Greyson Keel all had victories. In doubles, the duos of Ek and Scarpa and Schirmer and Garner also had wins.

Demon Deacons may make QB switch WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Ted Stachitas could be back as Wake Forest’s starting quarterback — if he’s healthy enough to play. The team’s depth chart released Tuesday listed Stachitas as the starter ahead of freshman Tanner Price, who started the last two games on the road but was knocked out in the third quarter of the Florida State loss with a concussion. Coach Jim Grobe called Price doubtful for this week’s game against Georgia Tech. Grobe added that Stachitas has been limited in practice by sore ribs, an injury he suffered against the Seminoles. He said it appears his ribs are bruised, and doctors haven’t found any fractures. Still, Grobe admitted it’s “a possibility” that the Demon Deacons could be without both Stachitas and Price. If so, either redshirt freshman Brendan Cross or redshirt junior Skylar

What do I need to improve on?” Renfree completed 71.1 percent of his passes in Duke’s first two games, but he’s completed only 50.7 percent in the past two games. “I think my demeanor leads to a breakdown in fundamentals,” Ren-

Wake Forest quarterback Ted Stachitas (13) runs for a touchdown during the first quarter against Duke. Jones would make his first career start. Stachitas started the Demon Deacons’ wins against Presbyterian and Duke but bruised his nonthrowing hand against the

Blue Devils. Price relieved him and started the team’s losses at Stanford and Florida State. Stachitas is a dualthreat quarterback who leads the team in rushing,

averaging 41 yards per game, and has rushed for two touchdowns. He has completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards for Wake Forest (2-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

free said. “You try to do stuff differently whether because I feel hurried or because I threw those interceptions. I try to do stuff differently rather than just do what I always do. It’s a matter of not seeing [the defense] well. A lot of times, I just rush myself.” Still, Renfree heads into the Maryland game as the ACC’s top quarterback in passing yards per game (278.2) and is fourth in completion percentage (62.0). He’s second in the ACC in touchdown throws (nine) but he also has thrown the most interceptions (seven).

Meanwhile, Duke (1-3) has problems to fix in other areas, as well. The defense, for example, has allowed at least 35 points in three of its four games. “You have to go out there and just strive every day,” Cutcliffe said. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not emphasizing that more. My eyes are in a million different place. I’m about as active as this old body can be with my body and my eyes.”

return to practice and did so Tuesday morning. Williams had been out since a blow to the head during the Alabama game on Sept. 18 caused a concussion. Tight end Brett Huffman (leg) and linebacker/defensive end Damian Thornton (leg) remain out. “[We’re] much better than I thought,” Cutcliffe said. “A few other guys weren’t quite as full speed as I would like, but they were out there working.” One of those was freshman defensive tackle Tevin Hood, who sat out the Army game with a sprained ankle.

A fiery James takes the court with Heat HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AP) — On Day 1, LeBron James looked perfectly comfortable in new surroundings. He pumped his fist after passing over a double-team and setting Joel Anthony up for a dunk. He got wide-eyed after breaking free in a defensive drill for a thunderous slam that left teammates more than impressed. He shouted instructions during drills, then got into an animated argument with Dwyane Wade over a scoring dispute as practice was ending. “That’s just me,” James said. That’s who the Miami Heat wanted. The NBA’s reigning two-time MVP went through his first full practice with the Heat on Tuesday, a workout so intense even coach Erik Spoelstra was dripping sweat when the first session of training camp was over at a U.S. Air Force installation on Florida’s Panhandle. A snaking line of reporters and camera crews surrounded nearly half the court, and James gave them a memorable show. “It’s not normal,” James said. “It’s not normal just yet. It’s a new beginning for me. I don’t feel like a rookie but I feel like it’s a new start. I’ve been around training camps before, but it’s not normal. You guys know it’s not normal. But as the year goes on, with the team getting to know each other, I continue to get to know you ... you get more comfortable with one another.” He’d put on the Heat practice uniform before, doing so over the summer after joining Miami and spurning an offer to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers, essentially his hometown team and the place where he grew into a global icon over his first seven pro seasons. Anaheim at Los Angeles, 10:30 p.m.

ahead to Friday, Saturday, Sunday and not worry about what’s happened. The bad news is the last 20 years, we haven’t won very often. Right now ... try to figure out how we’re going to take the cup back home with us.” Tuesday was the first day of practice on the Twenty Ten course at Celtic Manor, designed specifically for the Ryder Cup. What began under a light drizzle soon gave way to mild sunshine, only for rain to arrive toward the afternoon. Based on the foursomes both captains sent out, there were no surprises. Europe started on the back nine with Francesco and Edoardo Molinari playing with McIlroy and Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland. Ian Poulter, Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington and Ross Fisher brought up the rear. European captain Colin Montgomerie defended his selection of Harrington, a three-time major winner who has not won in two years, saying he played the best of anyone on his side during practice and made two eagles. “There’s reasons why Padraig Harrington was picked, and judge me about that selection on Oct. 4,” Montgomerie said. Montgomerie cited the

record of Luke Donald — 5-1-1 — when he made the Englishman a captain’s pick. Donald, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood all have winning records in the Ryder Cup. They are considered to be good Ryder Cup players. Does that mean Woods, Mickelson and Furyk are not good Ryder Cup players because of their records? “You can say that about a number of players,” Montgomerie said. “Tiger’s record in the Ryder Cup is not quite as bad as people think it is. It’s just because his individual record is incredible. “Who says that won’t happen this week?” Woods played alongside Steve Stricker, with whom he was 4-0 at the Presidents Cup a year ago. They were joined by Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson, while the anchor foursomes was Mickelson and Dustin Johnson with Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler, the 21-year-old who became the first PGA Tour rookie to be picked for the Ryder Cup. Woods got through his least favorite part of the week — his press conference — putting little thought into any of his answers, except when he listened to one British reporter refer to him as an ordinary golfer. Woods thought he recognized the reporter from the British Open who harshly asked

whether he would respect the game. “I hope you’re having a good week,” Woods replied. His teammates painted a different picture, especially Stricker. Woods gave him a putting tip during the practice round, and Stricker noted that Woods was hitting the ball crisply and his spirits were high. “He’s talking very positively,” Stricker said. “I think his motivation level is high, as it is always in this event. I think he’s a little misunderstood when it comes to these team events.” Asked what he meant by talking positively, Stricker said it appeared to him that Woods was “in a good place.” The sex scandal that led to so many humiliating headlines also cost him his marriage — the divorce became official Aug. 23 — and kept Woods from qualifying for the Ryder Cup team for the first time. He is playing as a captain’s pick, although Woods says he feels no extra pressure to perform. Even so, he no longer looks as unbeatable — even in individual tournaments — and McIlroy picked up on that. “He’s still a fantastic guy, and I’m sure he’ll get back to winning the way he used to,” McIlroy said. “For the meantime, I suppose a little bit of that aura is probably gone.”

circulating at Cog Hill that Woods had said to McIlroy upon passing him, “Careful what you wish for.” McIlroy, however, denied that ever happened. The singles matches on Sunday, which decide the Ryder Cup, are a long way off. And because it’s a blind draw, there is no guarantee Woods and McIlroy would play each other. Singles rarely has been a problem for Woods or the other top American players. Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk — the core of the U.S. team since 1997 — collectively have won 125 times on the PGA Tour, including 19 majors. That hasn’t carried over into the Ryder Cup. In singles, they are 10-6-2, with Woods and Furyk losing only once. In fourballs and foursome matches, with different partners in the 18 Ryder Cups they have played, that trio is 18-34-9. Maybe that explains why they all have losing records, and have played on losing teams. “It’s disappointing,” Furyk said. “But I guess we’ve got an opportunity to get closer back to square. Instead of looking at the past, I think right now you look ahead. You look

CONCORD — Denny Hamlin said Tuesday he’s made peace with Kevin Harvick and the drivers have agreed their focus should be only on dethroning four-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. The two tangled on the track immediately as practice began Saturday at Dover. Harvick initiated the bumping and banging, presumably as retaliation for Hamlin’s outspokenness about Harvick teammate Clint Bowyer’s illegal car. “Regardless of what happens on the race track, our friendship goes further than that,” Hamlin said during an appearance at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hamlin said the discussion was not on their skirmish Saturday, which continued in the garage after NASCAR ordered both drivers off the track. Instead, he said they discussed the ramifications of continuing a feud. “The more we chase each other on the race track, the more we’re going to let somebody else, mainly Four-Time (Johnson), make it Five-Time.” Hamlin is the current Sprint Cup Series points leader and takes a 35-point lead over Johnson into this weekend’s race at Kansas. Harvick led the points for most of the “regular season,” but is currently ranked fifth after two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Harvick, who has not publicly commented on the incident with Hamlin, trails the leader by 65 points. The feud began at the start of Saturday’s practice when Harvick intentionally hit Hamlin’s car. Once back in the garage, where they were lined up sideby-side in the same stall, the drivers and their teams exchanged heated words as NASCAR officials surrounded the scene. Hamlin said he was expecting the contact

Denny Hamlin says all is well with Kevin Harvick, and the drivers are moving past their skirmish at Dover to focus on winning NASCAR’s championship. following his comments Friday about Bowyer and his Richard Childress Racing team. Bowyer won the Chase opener at New Hampshire, but his car was ruled illegal three days after the win and NASCAR docked him 150 points. Bowyer and RCR are alleging that a push from a tow truck to Victory Lane caused damage that contributed to the car failing inspection, and their appeal of the penalty is scheduled for Wednesday. Hamlin dismissed the tow truck theory and alleged that the entire garage knew RCR had been pushing the limit on its cars for several months. Hamlin said Tuesday he watched a video of his news conference at Dover and realized he could have handled it differently. “It was harsh,” Hamlin said. “Maybe I should have just kind of deflected (the questions). I watched Jimmie’s press conference and a lot of other guys before and after me, and they kind of deflected. When it came to them, they just kind of shielded themselves from it, said their piece and it was over with.

But to me, I always kind of say too much at times, get too in-depth.” Hamlin has become increasingly vocal over the past year and was fined $50,000 by NASCAR in July for comments he made in public and on Twitter about ill-timed cautions. His Twitter participation has leveled off sharply since, but said Tuesday he sometimes can’t help himself. What set him off, he explained, was Bowyer’s earlier reference to Hamlin’s car needing two tries to make it through at-track inspection at New Hampshire. “It’s just the spur of the moment, when somebody takes a jab, I want to take a punch,” he said. “I sat up in my seat and got defensive. I knew as soon as I left the media center there was going to be repercussions whether it be on the race track or a phone call from (Childress) himself. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking that when I was saying what I was saying. I was thinking ‘Let me stick up for my race team first, and then I’ll throw them under the bus second.’”

around 30 seconds on, and they switch to advertising? We were sitting in the den astounded. We thought, “OK, one commercial. Here comes that stupid Burger King ad where the guys is playing a flute and singing a song that doesn’t even rhyme. Hurry up and get back to the race!” Then there was another one. This time, the Chevy Duramax ad. Then another, the Coke Zero and Pepsi ad where the two guys fight. I figured that since ESPN didn’t get the feud they wanted from Hamlin and the Childress teams they would just show one. So three ads and at least three laps gone. But they weren’t done. They had to give Dale Earnhardt Jr. his time. Another Nationwide commercial. After not seeing much of him during the race because he was never a factor, it was an opportunity to get Junior in the picture

as the race wound down. OK, four commercials and at least four laps and who knows what we may have missed. But they still weren’t done. Commercial number five came in the form of an ad for the ABC show “Detroit 1-8-7.” From the reviews I read you might want to watch it soon, because it could be one of the first show canceled. The funny thing is, the ad was cut short. I had seen it before and they didn’t show it in it’s entirety. Maybe they realized that by the time the get back to the race there would only be a few laps left — five to be exact. Again, I want to emphasize the fact that the race wasn’t interesting at that point, but what if something had happened? Suppose Johnson had trouble. What if there had been an accident? Last week it was proven that anything can happen. Now I understand that ESPN had to get a certain number of ads in during their allotted time, but maybe they should reconsider when that time frame falls. And they wonder why their ratings are getting worse. I imagine a whole lot of us could tell them why, but it is evident that money talks. See you after Kansas.

ESPN thinking Sunday during final laps? For those of you who don’t have a DVR, let me recap. With 15 laps to go, the race for all intents and purposes was over. Johnson had a commanding lead, and except for Jeff Gordon passing Mark Martin (which a lot of people have been doing of late), there wasn’t a close race on the track. Johnson had his car on cruise control. I knew that fuel wasn’t a factor but I was hoping. It worked last week when I wanted something to happen to Tony Stewart and it did. So I stayed tuned and was hoping for the best. The laps were winding down and there were 11 laps to go when ESPN went to a commercial. What? A one-mile track that they turn laps in

Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester (23) is tackled after a reception by Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields (37) during the first half of an NFL football

Hester, Bears show old winning form

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Devin Hester turned up the right sideline, hurdled a lunging defender and jumped into the first row of fans after his 62-yard punt return for a touchdown. With each stride, it sure felt more and more like 2006 again. Hester was up to his old tricks with his first touchdown return in three years, and the Chicago Bears were back to looking like contenders with a 20-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long season,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what can happen. We can go out and lose four or five games straight. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really dwell on this win.â&#x20AC;? The Bears had insisted all along they were good enough to contend after three straight playoff misses. If they were looking for confirmation, the last two weeks should help. Never mind that narrow season-opening win over Detroit, when the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; go-ahead touchdown was erased by a rule call in the end zone. A week later, the Bears beat Dallas on the road. And then? They stopped the high-powered Packers, a popular pick to win the NFC. Now, the Bears are

3-0 for the first time since the 2006 Super Bowl team won its first seven, and they are the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFC thanks to a defense led by Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher and an offense thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adjusting to Mike Martzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system even if it was a bit out of sync Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play our best game and we won,â&#x20AC;? said Cutler, who threw for 221 yards and a touchdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a good sign. Offensively, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get a lot better. I need to get a lot better. Our defense did a good job keeping us in it.â&#x20AC;? There were times when Cutler threw to one spot and the receivers went to another. On the ground, Chicago managed just 77 yards, although the Bears averaged 4.3 yards per carry. That the Packers wound up with a teamrecord 18 penalties for 152 yards certainly helped the Bears, but they also helped themselves with enough big plays to come away with what could be a defining win. Urlacher forced a fumble by James Jones in the closing minutes and Robbie Gould booted the winning 19-yard field goal with 4 seconds left after Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Burnett was called for

pass interference on Earl Bennett. Late in the third quarter, with the Packers leading by three, Peppers blocked Mason Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37-yard field-goal attempt. And in the fourth, Hesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TD return arguably bailed out coach Lovie Smith after he again decided to go for the touchdown rather than an easy field goal on fourth down at the goal line. That happened after the Bears drove from their 28 to the 1 following Peppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; block. Desmond Clark dropped a pass in the end zone, and Chicago came away empty-handed again, just as it did in a similar spot against Detroit two weeks earlier. In both cases, the Bears won and Smith held his ground. His rationale is that the Bears created a short field and put pressure on the opponent by going for the touchdown rather than a chip-shot field goal, never mind that they were trailing in both cases. This time, the Packers were forced to punt on the next possession, and in a flash, Hester gave the Bears a short-lived 14-10 lead early in the fourth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically what they were doing is they really stayed on their man and when the guys are on their man it gives me an opportunity to feel where the rest of the guys are,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a couple holes. Those guys opened up a lot of holes on that play. There was like two or three holes I could have hit. I just chose one and was free into the end zone.â&#x20AC;?

Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Collins confronts fan after loss to Bears

NFL, union discuss 18-game season, rookie wages

Panthers release DT Leonard, ending 1-year stint

MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NFL is investigating a confrontation between Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins and a fan after Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press the league is â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the process of reviewing all the factsâ&#x20AC;? and Bears spokesman Scott Hagel said the team is doing the same thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re monitoring it,â&#x20AC;? Hagel said. Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WITI-TV aired video in which Collins is seen yelling at a fan as he left the field. Collins then appears to throw his mouthpiece into the stands. According to the stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, Collins said the fan spit on him and used a racial slur.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NFL and its playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union discussed a proposal to change to an 18-game regular season during a bargaining session Tuesday. The league and the NFL Players Association issued a joint statement about the meeting, saying that negotiations â&#x20AC;&#x153;focused on several matters,â&#x20AC;? including the longer regular season, a rookie wage scale and improvements for retired players. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talks took place in Washington, where the NFLPA has its headquarters. The current collective bargaining agreement expires in March, and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has said he believes owners are preparing for a lockout. League owners and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell want to expand the regular season from 16 games to 18.

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Panthers have released defensive tackle Louis Leonard, ending an injury-filled year in Carolina. The 26-year-old Leonard entered training camp as a favorite to win a starting job on the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revamped defensive line, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live up to expectations. He failed to crack the rotation and had three tackles in two games. The Panthers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately replace him Tuesday on the 53-man roster. Leonard was acquired from Cleveland before the start of last season for a sixth-round draft pick, but played in only two games before breaking his left ankle. The Panthers gave Leonard a one-year, $1.6 million tender in the offseason. But he was slowed in training camp with a sore knee and missed the Sept. 19 loss to Tampa Bay with an elbow injury.

8B / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / The Sanford Herald DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Man must sort out attractions before he is ready to marry DEAR ABBY: After many months of dating a wonderful woman, “Amy,” we have set a date for our wedding. However, there’s a problem. As the date draws closer, Amy is concerned about my lack of physical intimacy with her. While I am very attracted to her, I am having some doubts. I recently noticed a young man at my health club and experienced some unfamiliar feelings. I don’t think I am gay, but I am no longer sure that Amy is what I have been looking for. Should I push these feelings aside and continue our plans for the wedding? Or should I tell Amy the truth about these feelings? — SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS IN PENNSYLVANIA

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: A change of lifestyle or connecting with people having similar backgrounds, traditions or interests will help you make the right choices. Strive for perfection in areas of your life but give yourself a break, as well. Being too selfcritical can end up holding you back. Your numbers are 6, 14, 19, 22, 33, 42, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Communication will be your ticket to advancement. Follow your thoughts with actions. Use your imagination and you will entice someone who interests you to get involved in whatever you are pursuing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let anyone discourage you. If you have made plans or arrangements that will help you change your vocation or enable you to advance, keep moving in that direction. Your determination will impress the person making the decision that will influence your future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t rely on others to speak for you or to help you get what you want. Your only course of action should be to strive for the goals you set, using your own experience and know-how. Don’t let an emotional incident hold you back. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need to get away -- whether it’s a mental or physical break. Take your mind off your worries or spark your imagination by relaxing. Don’t let added burdens stop you from making the alterations you need to make to be happy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sharing what you know and can do with people who have something to offer in return will help you move forward. Don’t let a love relationship or emotional problem at home stop you from taking advantage of an opportunity for a better position or lifestyle.

WORD JUMBLE

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stick to what you know and do best and don’t let anyone get under your skin or cause you grief. Focus on work and doing a unique, outstanding job. What you do and the way you present your skills will help you win in the end. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take control of your life instead of trying to keep the peace by letting someone else call the shots. You have to do your own thing or you will not be happy. Travel, learning and communications highlight your day, so make all three count. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be passionate about whatever and whoever comes into your life today. Take the time to interact with people you find interesting and to utilize your skills to attract like-minded individuals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Difficulties are apparent when it comes to your personal relationships and business partnerships. Be careful regarding the information you share. Change is apparent but it doesn’t have to limit you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Be willing to do things a little differently and you will find an angle that works for you and can lead to greater prosperity. Change is upon you and good fortune is heading your way. Don’t give up or give in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let love hold you back. If someone puts demands on you or tries to stand in your way, question this person’s motivations. Surround yourself with the people who support your efforts and encourage you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional matters at home may be daunting but, if you apply practical applications to any problems or issues you face, you will be able to find solutions. There is money to be made and domestic changes that can be accomplished.

DEAR SEARCHING: You should absolutely tell your fiancee the truth about the feelings you’re having — all of them. To marry a woman knowing you might be more attracted to a young man at your health club would bring everyone involved great pain. It is very important that you find out who you are and what you’re looking for before coupling up with anyone. While Amy may not be thrilled to hear what you have to say, you owe it to her and to yourself to be frank before this goes any further. o DEAR ABBY: My husband and

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

I dated for eight years before we were married two years ago. He has a son from a previous relationship, and we have a 9-month-old son together. My problem is my motherin-law. More often than not, she calls me by my stepson’s mother’s name. Abby, that woman and my husband haven’t been together for more than 12 years! My husband thinks I’m making a big deal out of nothing. He says I should forget about it, but it bothers me. My relationship with his mother has suffered because of it. She lives near us and helps out with watching our baby, so I see her quite often. What are your thoughts on this? — ALSO KNOWN AS ... DEAR A.K.A.: If your mother-inlaw’s slip of the tongue happened occasionally, I would agree with your husband that it’s no big deal. Because it happens often, it ap-

pears the woman is doing it deliberately. Have you confronted her about it and told her how hurtful it is? If you haven’t, you should. And if it doesn’t stop, then you’re within your rights to limit your time with her and/or arrange for other supervision for your baby. It would be confusing for him to grow up around a grandmother who calls his mother by a stranger’s name. o DEAR ABBY: When I am out with my friends, they can’t keep their hands and eyes off their cell phones. They sit there and text whatever guy they’re involved with, and I feel like they would rather be with anyone else but me. I have talked to them about it, but they say I “don’t understand” because I have never been in a relationship. Abby, I’m not jealous because they have guys to talk to. I am hurt that my friends think cyber communication is more important than spending time with friends. What do you think? — TEXTED OUT IN TEXAS DEAR TEXTED OUT: I’m glad you asked. It is rude for people to behave the way you have described. Good manners dictate that people give their undivided attention to those they are with. To do otherwise sends the signal that their present company is less important.

ODDS AND ENDS Months after winning $1M in lottery, man wins $2M ST. LOUIS (AP) — The odds against winning $1 million in the Lottery: Astronomical. How about doing it twice? It happened to a man from Bonne Terre, Mo., Missouri Lottery officials said Tuesday. Ernest Pullen, 57, won $1 million with a “100 Million Dollar Blockbuster” Scratchers ticket in June. And this month, he won $2 million with a “Mega MONOPOLY” Scratchers ticket. Pullen, a retired military man who was working at the help desk for a telecommunications company before retiring after the first lottery win, said he considers himself to be a “lucky guy.” You think? John Wells of the Missouri Lottery said the chances of winning $1 million in the “$100 Million Dollar Blockbuster” game are 1 in 2.28 million. The odds of winning $2 million in “Mega MONOPOLY” are about the same. The chances of winning both? Because they’re independent games, it is impossible to calculate the odds, Wells said. “But it’s a pretty amazing coincidence,” he said. “We’ve had players win big multiple prizes before, but this is the first person to ever win a second million-dollar prize in the history of the Missouri Lottery.” Pullen bought the most recent winning ticket on Sept. 17 at Miller’s Quick Shop in Bonne Terre, a community in the Old Lead Belt region of eastern Missouri, about 60 miles southwest of St. Louis. He opted to take the cash payment instead of the annuity for both wins. He received $700,000 for the June winner and will get about $1.3 million for the September winner — both before taxes. Pullen recalled a dream six years ago in which he won a lot of money. Even after the $1 million win in June, he didn’t feel like the

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER dream was complete. He does now. “All the numbers I dreamed about, and all my lucky numbers, were on the card,” Pullen said. Pullen plans to use the money to fix up his new house, which needs a new lakeside wall. As for the Lottery, he figures he’s about used up his luck, though he still might play the big jackpots on Powerball and Mega Millions. “My wife said she’s winning the next time,” Pullen said.

Mich. teen kills 448-pound black bear with arrow BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (AP) — A 17-year-old Michigan girl began her big game hunting career with a bang — or rather a whoosh — by killing a 448-pound black bear with a bow and arrow from 16 yards away. High school senior Jessica Olmstead of Battle Creek shot the bear during a hunting trip last month in Oba, Ontario. She told the Battle Creek Enquirer for a story published Tuesday that the bear was the first animal she killed with the new bow. “As soon as my dad got it for me I was immediately comfortable and I was ready to use it the next day,” Jessica said. “When I go out hunting, it’s really exciting,” she said. “Whenever I see a bear I just want to go at it. When you’re hunting, your heart is racing, your blood is pumping, and you feel that adrenaline rush. I really love to hunt.” Her father, Tim Olmstead, told The Associated Press that his daughter eats the animals she hunts, including the bear, and does not kill just for fun. He told the paper he’s been teaching others to hunt for more than 30 years and that he’s never had a student pick up the fundamentals as quickly as his daughter.

Seek God’s will on all decisions Q: I have a friend who’s what I guess you’d call a serious Christian, and sometimes he’ll say things like, “God has been talking to me” about something or, “God wants me to do” something. Did he actually hear God speak? -- K.G. A: I’m thankful for your friend’s faith, and I hope his example will help you understand what it means to have a personal, living relationship with Jesus Christ. Being a Christian is more than living a certain way or having a certain set of beliefs; it is a personal relationship with God. When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them. It may be about a major decision they’re facing or a small one -- but they’ve sought God’s will about it, and they sense He is leading them. The Bible puts it this way: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it’” (Isaiah 30:21). Remember: God is concerned about every detail of our lives -- and the reason is because He loves us and knows what is best for us. That’s why we can seek His will about every decision we face. How do we do that? We do it as we pray and ask Him to guide us. We do it also as we seek His will in the Bible, which is His Word. God never leads us to do anything that is contrary to what He has told us in the Bible. My prayer is that you will turn to Jesus Christ and commit your life to Him.

Are we raising nincompoops? By BETH J. HARPAZ Associated Press Writer

econd-graders who can’t tie shoes or zip jackets. Four-year-olds in PullUps diapers. Five-yearolds in strollers. Teens and preteens befuddled by can openers and ice-cube trays. College kids who’ve never done laundry, taken a bus alone or addressed an envelope. Are we raising a generation of nincompoops? And do we have

only ourselves to blame? Or are some of these things simply the result of kids growing up with pushbutton technology in an era when mechanical devices are gradually being replaced by electronics? Susan Maushart, a mother of three, says her teenage daughter “literally does not know how to use a can opener. Most cans come with pull-tops these days. I see her reaching for a can that requires a can opener, and her shoulders slump and she goes for something else.”

Carolina

Teenagers are so accustomed to either throwing their clothes on the floor or hanging them on hooks that Maushart says her “kids actually struggle with the mechanics of a clothes hanger.” Many kids never learn to do ordinary household tasks. They have no chores. Take-out and drive-through meals have replaced home cooking. And busy families who can afford it often outsource

Spice up your oatmeal

For The Associated Press

etting out of the house in the morning is never easy. Aside from showering and all of the getting ready that comes along with that, there are dogs to care for, a cat to feed, a baby to feed and dress, an outfit that is tolerable to be found, work and child care bags to be packed, lunches to make and pack — the list goes on and on. Sometimes by 7 a.m. I feel as though I’ve run a marathon. I need a INSIDE nap before See our I’ve even weekly Dining officially Guide for begun. local menu Just options writing Pages 4-5C about it is exhausting me. In the past, I was never a big breakfast person. Now, since my mornings usually start before 6:00, I’d be digging into my lunch by 10 if I didn’t have something to eat in the morning. However, anything that takes much time or can’t be prepared ahead of time is out of the question. I just can’t add to that morning list. I’ve found oatmeal to be a great solution to my morning meal problems. Aside from lowering both cholesterol and blood pressure, oatmeal is the most filling breakfast I’ve found. A plain old bowl of cereal does nothing for me — in fact, it seems to just speed up my metabolism and make me even hungrier. To the contrary, oatmeal is slow to digest, allowing you to feel full for a longer period of time. It’s easy to prepare a big bowl of oatmeal the night before and divvy it up into bowls for each family member (baby included) in the morning, adding whatever flavors each person desires. While plain old cinnamon will do the trick at times, it is also nice to have something with a little more pizzazz on the mornings that you know

White lightning, mountain dew, firewater — you know it as the illicit substance made in secret by tax-dodging mountain men and drunk by people looking to alter their reality in a serious way. But hooch is being infused with a whole new spirit thanks to a new generation of home and professional distillers. “Moonshine is multifaceted these days,” says Max Watman, who researched the underground liquor industry for his book, “Chasing the White Dog.” The idea of bootleg liquor conjures up a vision of lazy creekside afternoons. And there is a small population of moonshiners still carrying out the mountain tradition. But mod-

Preparing your animals for winter

Antioxidants: What are they, anyway?

he term “antioxidant” is tossed around a lot these days, but many of you still are not sure exactly what antioxidants are or why they’re important. The facts are that antioxidants are found in plant–based foods, and research has credited them with helping to minimize risk for many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and eye disease, and to improve overall health. Read on to find out more about antioxidants.

ecently I have received many phone calls related to starting a small chicken flock, meat goat, or cattle herd. The advice I give to soon to become livestock producers is based off N.C. State University research as well as on farm experience. The largest point I stress to these soon to be livestock producers is to consider the climate season we are about to enter. Now is the time of the year our livestock producers are beginning to consider how they will prepare their livestock animals for the upcoming winter. Usually the first thought that comes to mind is will my cows, goats, horses, pigs, chickens, or pigs be able to survive the cold weather? Interestingly enough, livestock animals are perfectly capable of enduring the cold months ahead if provided an adequate diet. The larger animals such cows, horses, goats, and pigs receive all of their heat energy from their food source. If the food

What is “oxidative stress”? Why does it occur? And what is an antioxidant? Believe it or not, oxygen — the very thing you need to survive — can actually harm you. Think of how the flesh of an apple browns when it’s exposed to air. That’s the effect of oxygen – called oxidation. An antioxidant prevents oxidation. Dipping the cut apple in lemon juice prevents the browning. The lemon juice is an antioxidant. Oxidative stress occurs when someone has too many free radicals in his or her body and

YOUTH BROILER SHOW

TRUCK AWARD WINNERS

The eighth annual area youth broiler competition was held at the Lee Regional Fair on Sept. 14. Sixty-two students from Lee County, Southern Lee, Harnett Central, Western Harnett, Triton, North Moore and Union Pines high schools participated. In addition, members of Lee County 4-H exhibited birds in the competition. Carrie Womack, agriculture education teacher and FFA advisor at Southern Lee High School; Dale Hulsey with Pilgrims Pride; and Dan Campeau, Seth Holt, Bill Stone, Stephanie Romelczyk and Susan Condlin with the N.C. Cooperative Extension were instrumental in organizing the event. FFA and 4-H members initially received five birds from Pilgrims to grow out for six weeks and then selected three of these to show in the competition. “They learned how to feed and care for the broilers, gained knowledge about the poultry industry in our area, as well as learned responsibility and financial management with this project,” said Dan Campeau, area specialized extension agent. Corporate sponsors for the broiler competition were Perdue Farms, Mountaire, Pilgrims and Townsend Farms. These integrators helped donate a total of $800 to be split up into the top 10 placements. In addition, Chatham County Farm Bureau sponsored the event. The Sanford Lions Club donated $10 per participant from placements 11 to 30. This year’s “Grand Champion Pen of Three” was Jared Douglas (left) from Lee County 4-H and Haley Gunter from Southern Lee (right) won the “Reserve Champion Pen of Three.”

Fans try to get Charlie Poole in hall of fame

annual Charlie Poole Music Festival, said of Wainwright’s free performance. “He wants to do this for Poole’s town.” Poole grew up in a cotton mill family in Randolph County. But playing the banjo, something he took a liking to as a boy, soon beat working a regular job. By 22, he had begun rambling with his banjo, making music and drinking wherever he went. About 1918, he met Rorrer’s great uncle, a fiddler named Posey Rorrer, who eventually brought him back to Spray. That’s where he fell in love with Posey Rorrer’s sister. “Lou Emma had to deal with a man who she loved who was so unreliable,” said Kinney Rorrer, who grew up in Eden and also is the author

of “Ramblin’ Blues: The Life and Songs of Charlie Poole.” He is a member of the New North Carolina Ramblers, which is the opening act for Wainwright’s concert. “He would leave home and be gone months at a time, and she would have no idea where he was,” Rorrer said. Soon, Poole, Posey Rorrer and a guitar player from Spray named Norman Woodlieff were touring through the hills of Virginia and fiddler conventions in Tennessee and West Virginia. In 1925, Poole’s group recorded for Columbia Records. A record that sold 20,000 was considered a hit. When Poole’s first record — “Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down Blues/Can I Sleep In Your

Barn Tonight, Mister?” — came out in September 1925, it sold 102,000 copies and was deemed the first country megahit. A second record sold more than 65,000 copies. At the time, only an estimated 600,000 phonographs had been sold in the South, according to Rorrer. “It encouraged the record companies to seek out more rural talent,” he said. Poole became one of the first major country music stars. A case can be made that he was the first, according to country music historians. But the stock market crash of 1929 changed everything, and afterward, nobody could sell records. Poole continued to ramble. Sometimes he ended up in a place where he wasn’t popular, and he’d send Lou Emma a telegram asking for money to come home. Otherwise, he was a free spirit, often catching rides and going wherever the car was headed. “He lived as he wanted, and not many people can say that,” Rorrer said. By 1931, however, he was back at the mills in Spray. There, he drank himself to death. It’s written on his death certificate. “He is an example of a man who was extraordinarily talented but

are 12 or 22. “It’s the dependence factor, the unimaginability of life without the new technology, that is making kids less entrepreneurial, less initiativeoriented, less independent,” Bauerlein said. Teachers in kindergarten have always had to show patience with children learning to tie shoes and zip jackets, but thanks to Velcro closures, today’s kids often don’t develop those skills until they are older. Sure, harried parents are grateful for Velcro when they’re trying to get a kid dressed and out the door, and children learn to tie shoes eventually unless they have a real disability. But if they’re capable of learning to tie their shoes before they learn to read, shouldn’t we encourage them? Some skills, of course,

are no longer useful. Kids don’t need to know how to add Roman numerals, write cursive or look things up in a paperbound thesaurus. But is snail-mail already so outmoded that teenagers don’t need to know how to address an envelope or put the stamp in the right spot? Ask a 15-year-old to prepare an envelope some time; you might be shocked at the result. Lenore Skenazy, who writes a popular blog called Free-Range Kids, based on her book by the same name, has a different take. Skenazy, whose approach to parenting is decidedly anti-helicopter, agrees that we are partly to blame for our children’s apparent incompetence, starting when they are infants. “There is an onslaught of stuff being sold to us from the second they

come out of the womb trying to convince us that they are nincompoops,” she said. “They need to go to Gymboree or they will never hum and clap! To teach them how to walk, you’re supposed to turn your child into a marionette by strapping this thing on them that holds them up because it helps them balance more naturally than 30,000 years of evolution!” Despite all this, Skenazy thinks today’s kids are way smarter than we give them credit for: “They know how to change a photo caption on a digital photo and send it to a friend. They can add the smiley face without the colon and parentheses! They never took typing but they can type faster than I can!” Had I not been there to help that 12-year-old with the ice-cube tray,

GREENSBORO — When one of the guys joking around with Charlie Poole told him he knew of a better banjo player, Poole replied that he could outstrum the man — upside down. Then he proceeded to do just that. “He put himself on his hands and put his feet (against the wall) to brace himself, and he played that banjo standing on his head,” said Kinney Rorrer, a retired college history teacher whose great-uncle played in a band with Poole in the 1920s. Poole, of the Spray community in Eden, died in 1931 at 39. But his music lives on — notably in the concert “An Evening with Loudon Wainwright III.” Wainwright won this year’s Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album. The album celebrates Poole’s music. Proceeds from the Sept. 25 concert will benefit Piedmont Folk Legacies’ effort to save the historic Nantucket Mill and turn it into the National Banjo Center and to help Governor Morehead Park.

house-cleaning and lawn care. “It’s so all laid out for them,” said Maushart, author of the forthcoming book “The Winter of Our Disconnect,” about her efforts to wean her family from its dependence on technology. “Having so much comfort and ease is what has led to this situation — the Velcro sneakers, the PullUps generation. You can pee in your pants and we’ll take care of it for you!” The issue hit home for me when a visiting 12year-old took an ice-cube tray out of my freezer, then stared at it helplessly. Raised in a world where refrigerators have push-button ice-makers, he’d never had to get cubes out of a tray — in the same way that kids growing up with pull-tab cans don’t understand can openers. But his passivity was what bothered me most. Come on, kid! If your life depended on it, couldn’t you wrestle that ice-cube tray to the ground? It’s not that complicated! Mark Bauerlein, author of the best-selling book “The Dumbest Generation,” which contends that cyberculture is turning young people into know-nothings, says “the absence of technology” confuses kids faced with simple mechanical tasks. But Bauerlein says there’s a second factor: “a loss of independence and a loss of initiative.” He says that growing up with cell phones and Google means kids don’t have to figure things out or solve problems any more. They can look up what they need online or call mom or dad for stepby-step instructions. And today’s helicopter parents are more than happy to oblige, whether their kids

Charlie Poole, of the Spray community in Eden, died in 1931 at 39. But his music lives on — notably in the concert “An Evening with Loudon Wainwright III.”

burned out very quickly, like a shooting star,” Rorrer said. Even with talent and a life that played out as a heartbreaking country song, the country music pioneer has never made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame — something Wainwright is trying to change by keeping Poole’s music alive. Many of Poole’s tunes were recorded by performers such as Joan Baez, who would become more famous than Poole. John Mellencamp recorded the popular “White House Blues.” The Grateful Dead recorded “Don’t Let the Deal Go Down.” Even the first chapter of Bob Dylan’s autobiography mentions Charlie Poole. “He never had an advocate to push for it,” Rorrer said. The first County Music Hall of Fame inductee, Jimmie Rodgers, who recorded two years after Poole, had legends Ernest Tubb and Gene Autry pushing for him. One of the daughters of Mother Maybelle of The Carter Family — the first vocal group to become country music stars — married Johnny Cash. “Charlie died during the worst years of the Depression, and people moved on,” Rorrer said. “I think he kind of fell between the cracks.” They all deserved the honor, he said.

“To me, Charlie’s music is modern music,” Price said, wondering aloud if maybe the push should instead be for an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “It’s the foundation for everything we hear today in modern music.” In 2005, Columbia Records released the box set “You Ain’t Talkin’ to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music.” “He listened to vaudeville, he listened to ragtime and tin pan alley — he listened to everything, including the classical music influence from the music teacher at the mill,” Price said about Poole’s sound. “He took all of it, and it went into him and came out something new.” Now, people come from all over the world to visit his grave in the old Spray Cemetery. “I had a guy who came here from Germany three or four years ago,” Rorrer said. “He had been to a jazz festival in New Orleans. He also loved Charlie Poole’s music.” Rorrer, who had written the book by then, agreed to take him to the grave. Before going, however, the man asked to make one stop. “He brought flowers to put on Charlie Poole’s grave,” Rorrer said. “I was touched that he wanted to do that. (Charlie) had fans all over the place.”

she added, the kid surely would have “whipped out his iPhone and clicked on his ice cube app to get a little video animated by a 6-year-old that explained how you get ice cubes out of a tray.” Friends playing devil’s advocate say I’m wrong to indict a whole generation for the decline of skills they don’t need. After all, we no longer have to grow crops, shoot deer, prime a pump or milk a cow to make dinner, but it was just a couple of generations ago that you couldn’t survive in many places without that knowledge. Others say this is simply the last gasp of the analog era as we move once and for all to the digital age. In 10 years, there won’t be any ice cube trays; every fridge will have push-button

ice. But Bauerlein, a professor at Emory University who has studied culture and American life, defends my right to rail against the ignorance of youth. “That’s our job as we get old,” he said. “A healthy society is healthy only if it has some degree of tension between older and younger generations. It’s up to us old folks to remind teenagers: ‘The world didn’t begin on your 13th birthday!’ And it’s good for kids to resent that and to argue back. We want to criticize and provoke them. It’s not healthy for the older generation to say, ‘Kids are kids, they’ll grow up.’ “They won’t grow up,” he added, “unless you do your job by knocking down their hubris.”

6C / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / The Sanford Herald THE HEALTHY PLATE

A hearty chowder without the fat By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

The term chowder usually brings to mind a steaming bowl of thick and chunky soup, often enriched with a generous amount of whole milk, or even cream. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that last part that can dishearten the dietconscious diner. Soups and some stews can be a great way to fill up on low-calorie vegetables, proteins and liquid, leaving you satisfied without feeling stuffed. But too much cream, milk or sour cream can take the virtue right out of the meal. Yet there are ways to have a creamy and healthful soup. For instance, consider starting with a base of pureed vegetables. Winter vegetables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as butternut or buttercup squash, pumpkin or even sweet potatoes

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can be roasted to intensify the flavors, then run through a food mill, blender or food processor to make a velvety, creamy base. Beans, pureed with a bit of broth or water, also make a thick, flavorful soup base. Use convenient canned beans, but be sure to rinse them under cold water to wash away some of the salt that is in the canning liquid. Even tofu (the soft or silken variety) can be pureed to create a smooth and protein-rich foundation on which you can build a creamy soup with little fat and no dairy. For this butternut squash and scallop chowder the secret to low-fat thickening comes from a snack food. Crumbled tortilla chips dissolve in the soup while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking,

adding plenty of body along with a layer of toasty corn flavor. Jarred salsa is another secret to this satisfying chowder, bringing with it pre-diced vegetables and spicy seasoning, which helps make it possible to get this meal on the table in under 30 minutes on a busy weeknight. Plump bay scallops are called for here, but you can substitute chunks of almost any white fish and if you like, make the soup vegetarian by omitting the seafood altogether and upping the amount of diced squash.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SCALLOP CHOWDER Start to finish: 25 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 4 2 cups peeled and diced butternut or other winter squash

2 cups medium or hot tomato salsa 14 1/2-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/3 cup crumbled reduced-fat corn tortilla chips 2 cups frozen corn kernels 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 pound bay scallops 1 tablespoon lime juice Lime wedges for squeezing In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine the squash, salsa, broth and tortilla chips. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot and cook until the squash is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the corn, oregano and cumin. Return the soup to a simmer, stir in scallops and cook until they are opaque at the center, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the lime juice. Serve with additional lime wedges for squeezing.

CUSTOMIZED FOOD

Tailor-made treats: Web offers food your way By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press

Log on and you can design your own jeans, shoes, even cars. So, it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as a surprise that you also can go online for tailor-made treats that let you put your own twist on everything from jerky to gingerbread. Take chocri, a chocolate bar company that lets you pick out different chocolate bases, then choose toppings from dozens of options. Customers fall into three camps, says chocriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. CEO Carmen Magar. There are people who want to go crazy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chives? Really? People who like the idea of personalizing a gift

without having to clock hours in the kitchen, and people who just really like the chocolate, which is fair trade, organic and from Belgium. The business was started in Germany by friends Michael Bruck and Franz Duge. The young entrepreneurs already were running a chocolate fountain company and when Duge was casting around for a birthday gift for his girlfriend, he hit on the idea of creating a bar and topping it with her favorite snacks. Success in Europe led them to open a U.S. branch this year and orders currently are around 50,000 bars a month, says Magar. Popular toppings

include things like strawberries, raspberries and hazelnut brittle, though sea salt also is in demand. Tiffany Swords of Hoboken, N.J., came across chocri some months ago when her husband ordered a couple of bars. He got dark chocolate with orange and fleur de sel and she had a bar with dried blueberries and vanilla chips. They have since ordered more as gifts for family and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like that you can choose,â&#x20AC;? says Swords, a teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have someone and you know what they like, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally custom. The gift receivers are pleasantly surprised.â&#x20AC;? Want more bespoke bonbons? M&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can be

ordered in various colors and emblazoned with everything from your corporate logo to the smiling face of your sweet 16-yearold. Other customized food offerings include Slant Shack Jerky, where you pick the meat, marinade, rub, glaze and size, and ecreamery, which lets you pick the base, flavor, mixins and packaging of your ice cream. Striking a more seasonal note, you can order your own gingerbread family at Gingerista, selecting the mix of ages and genders to fit your clan. Dogs, cats and fish also are available and each cookie is hand-frosted in the color you pick.

Moonshine Continued from Page xx

ern moonshine mostly falls into two different categories, according to Watman. Sure there are criminal organizations that essentially prey on the poor. But there also is a burgeoning hobbyist scene made up of the same type of people that drove the microbrewed beer movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hobbyists are much more adventurous and a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a product of our time. We are obsessed with authenticity and we are obsessed with craft, or at least a certain segment of our population is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the farmers market world. We all want to make our own cheese. We all want to cure our own bacon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same group that wants to make their own booze.â&#x20AC;? Unlike curing your own bacon, or even brewing your own beer, however, distilling spirits is illegal without a government license, and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to get. Still, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says illicit distilling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a significant problem. Though the economy in particular has prompted more people to explore making moonshine, a bureau spokeswoman said there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a big bust since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and overall itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much smaller problem than in the past. To meet the burgeoning interest, a number of companies have started selling stills, ingredients and directions online, though most note that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to check local laws before producing alcohol. There also are online forums where enthusiasts can pose questions and trade tips. Making moonshine is as easy as mixing a grain such as corn meal (though you can make moonshine with just about anything) with sugar, water and yeast. Once it ferments, heat is used to draw the vapors into coiled tubing that drips the distilled liquid into a container. While it may be easy, it is not without risks. Made from improper ingredients (such as wood) or in a still made from dangerous plumbing (such as a car radiator, which contains lead), moonshine can be

you are in for a long day. Oatmeal with spiced peaches does just that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adds just a bit more flavor to turn breakfast from a chore to something exciting. I actually look forward to eating breakfast instead of dreading it. For this recipe, you can either prepare it as is in the morning, or prepare it the night before and mix the flavors together in the morning. Regardless of how or when you prepare this breakfast, you will be glad that you did.

riddled with toxic chemicals, causing blindness, kidney failure, even death, said Dr. Robert Geller, director of the Georgia Poison Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in the U.S. weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had outbreaks of both during the last 10 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. The traditional definition of moonshine is an illegal distillate from an unregistered still on which taxes have not been paid. But modern practitioners, such as Colin Spoelman of Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Distillery in Brooklyn, N.Y., use the term to cover legal but unaged (as in no time in the barrel) whiskey, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;white whiskey.â&#x20AC;? Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is licensed, is selling white whiskey in medicine style bottles labeled simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;moonshine.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is a very smooth and very refined and very high quality moonshine,â&#x20AC;? says Spoelman, who became interested in the spirit after trying a jug of it in his native Kentucky. What he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selling is high-powered hooch. The alcohol content of Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moonshine is 80 proof, comparable to mainstream liquors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to enjoy the taste and taste the grain and not be quite so overwhelmed by the alcohol,â&#x20AC;? he says. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County whiskey is 80 percent corn, organically grown, and 20 percent malted barley imported from Scotland. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small operation, making 2.5 gallons a day. For a while they were working without a car until someone moving to Chicago heard of their plight and donated a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;92 Geo Metro. Frank Coleman, spokesman for the U.S. Distilled Spirits Council, thinks illicit liquor is best avoided. But the unaged whiskies being made by legal craft distillers are a different matter. Though their sales are just a fraction of the market, there are scores of legal microdistillers springing up around the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a boom in spirits consumption over the last decade, people moving away from beer toward spirits, and the marketplace is just drifting in that direction,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about recapturing Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost heritage that was crushed by Prohibition.â&#x20AC;?

Help with Medicare enrollment

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Where can I get some help with my Medicare questions? I’m approaching 65 - Medicare enrollment age - and am confused with all the different options that are available today. What can you tell me? — CONFUSED RETIREE

DEAR CONFUSED: It used to be that enrolling in Medicare was quick and simple. Not any more! Changes over the past few years in the way Medicare is offered has made signing up a lot more complicated. Here’s what you should know.

Many choices

The options and choices available to Medicare beneficiaries today can be dizzying. In addition to Original Medicare (Part A and B) that’s been around for 45 years, beneficiaries now have the option of enrolling in a prescription drug plan (Part D), and a supplemental (Medigap) policy - both of which are sold by private insurance companies. Or, a Medicare Advantage plan which covers health care, prescription drugs and extra services all in one. These plans, which are also sold by private insurers, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs. To help you figure out

which Medicare plan(s) best meet your needs, there are a wide variety of services available depending on how much help you need. Some services are completely free; some charge a fee; and some are free to consumers but get commissions from insurance companies. Here’s where you can find help.

a variety of free online tools that can help you find and compare health plans, supplemental policies and prescription drug plans (see www. medicare.gov/find-aplan). Or, if you don’t have Internet access, or don’t feel confident in working through the information on your own, you can also call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and they will do the work for you over the phone. Some other great resources that can help are the Medicare Rights Center (medicarerights. org), which staffs a hotline at 800-333-4114 to help answer your Medicare questions. And, your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptalk.org, or call 800-677-1116.

Free services

Fee-based services

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

A good starting point to get familiar with Medicare is the “Medicare & You 2011” booklet that overviews the program and your options. You should receive a free copy in the mail sometime in October, or you can pick one up at your local Social Security office or read it online at medicare.gov. Medicare also offers

If the free services don’t cut the mustard and you need some additional help in making your Medicare decisions, there are a handful of fee-based companies that are very helpful.

source is fed continuously throughout the winter, the animals are never in danger of being damaged by the cold. These larger animals do not necessarily need shelter from the rain, snow, sleet, and wind if their diets are maintained. Smaller animals such as chickens, rabbits, and turkeys need shelter from the rain, wind, and snow to survive. This is due to their inability to produce enough body heat, regardless of the food source to keep warm. Smaller livestock animals like these should be provided shelter of some sort that allows the animal to be exposed to the winter elements at the animal’s discretion. So why is now the time to worry about how your animals will rough out the winter months? Planning and preparing are two attributes needed for running a successful livestock operation, regardless of operation size or species of animal. For example, cattle producers would not want to run out of hay to feed their cattle herd halfway through the winter, so they should buy hay in advance to assure this problem does not occur. But before a producer starts stockpiling up on

Another way to get help with your Medicare enrollment is to consult an independent insurance agent. Agents typically get paid a commission to sell you a policy, although they offer plans from a number of providers. The Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America have a directory on their website (iiaba.net) that lets you search for agents in your area. But keep in mind that agents typically specialize in the Medicare plans they represent, rather than all the plans in your market.

ample water while mums are blooming. As always, try to water in the morning to allow water to dry off before the cool evenings. This will help prevent fungal diseases. If you plant mums in the spring or treat them as perennials, you will need to pinch back new growth to form dense plants with numerous blooms. Pinch new growth back from the top about ½ to 1 inch approximately every 4 weeks after the plant is 6 inches tall until early to mid July. Do not pinch plants after this time, as you will be removing flower buds! You can time fertilizer applications with your pinching routine. Perennial mums will spread rapidly and will need division every few years. Mums are available in a number of different colors. According to Yoder, a leading mum producer, yellow is the most popular color on the market. Other popular colors include pink, lavender, white, bronze, red, coral, salmon, and orange. Mums also come

in different flower shapes and arrangement of petals. Daisies or singles have daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. Anemones have long petals with a center of deeper colored short petals. Pompom mums have small ball-shaped flowers on short plants. Spider mums have petals that are long and tubular with curled ends. The name cushion mum refers to a mum that flowers early and is low and bushy. With the wide variety of color and form, there is a mum out there for everyone. Also, if you are looking for a personalized gift, many mum cultivars are named for women (such as ‘Diane’ or ‘Linda’).

not enough antioxidants to combat them. A free radical is a molecule that contains an oxygen atom that is missing an electron. In its effort to replace the missing electron, the free radical steals from another molecule, which then becomes a free radical itself. It’s a vicious cycle. Antioxidants provide the free radical with its missing electron so that it doesn’t have to steal one from another molecule, thus stopping the cycle. Your body produces free radicals as byproducts of the many functions it performs, such as when you digest foods, when you exercise, or when you’re exposed to tobacco and other environmental pollutants. If there are too many free radicals and not enough antioxidants, the balance is off — there are not enough antioxidants to go around, and the damaged cells then become more susceptible to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, etc. Is there a certain limit to how many free radicals a person should have? “This is not known. However, some free radicals are needed because they are involved with normal cell signaling,” says Victoria J. Drake, Ph.D., a researcher at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. And just as not all free radicals are bad, some antioxidants might not be good: A recent study conducted at Kansas State University found that certain antioxidants can actually suppress key signaling mechanisms

What are some examples of antioxidants? Antioxidants are found in plants — they protect the plant from ultraviolet light and act as its immune system. Here are a few names you might have read or heard: beta carotene, flavonoids, lycopene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium. Can we get antioxidants from a pill? We’re still learning what, if any, differences our bodies recognize when we take supplements instead of getting our antioxidants from foods. “Often there’s no distinction between the form of antioxidant in a supplement and the form in a food,” says Karen Collins, M.S., R.D., nutrition adviser to the American Institute for Cancer Research. “But sometimes the chemical form may change slightly. One concern about the use of supplements is the issue of synergy how nutrients and phytochemicals work together differently from the way each one works on its own. (i.e., 1 + 1 = 3 instead of just 2.)” There is something about the way nature packages fruits and vegetables — the combination of chemicals in plants — that causes them to fight off disease. “High intakes of fruits and vegetables have been associated with a reduced risk for several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and even eye–related disorders such as macular degeneration. Obtaining antioxidants from food is important because foods high in antioxidants also contain other micronutrients and phytochemicals that are important in preventing chronic disease,” says Drake. In addition, antioxidant supplements are often synthetic (man–made), and some of these synthetic forms may not have the same effects on the body as antioxidants that occur naturally in foods. But even if they are not synthetic, some beneficial properties may be lost when antioxidants are extracted from foods to manufacture supplements.

The other issue concerning supplements is the fact that there’s still scientific ambiguity about what the correct dosage is for optimal effect — and whether or not that dosage changes for specific individuals. Some doctors, for example, have suggested that cancer patients who are following a course of treatment designed to increase the level of free radicals in their bodies may want to avoid antioxidants to help reduce cancer cells. “Correct dosage can be a problem with supplements, because it’s easy to exceed healthy amounts and set the normal balance off,” says Collins. “On the other hand, supplements might turn out to be helpful if it is found that larger amounts of particular phytochemicals do produce benefits. For now, consuming the large amounts possible with some supplements is a risky gamble.” According to National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, “Large, long– term studies (randomized, controlled trials) funded primarily by NIH have generally found that antioxidant supplements have no beneficial effects. For example: o The Physicians’ Health Study II, which included more than 14,000 healthy male physicians 50 or older, found that neither vitamin E nor vitamin C supplements reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack, stroke or death) or cancer. o The Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) a study of more than 35,000 healthy men 50 or older found that selenium and vitamin E taken alone or together did not prevent prostate cancer. (Two earlier reviews suggested that preliminary evidence for selenium appeared promising.) o The Women’s Health Study, which included almost 40,000 healthy women at least 45 years of age, found that, overall, vitamin E did not reduce the risk of death, major cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack, stroke or death) or cancer. However, it was associated with reduced deaths from cardiovascular causes and also reduced major cardiovascular events in a subgroup of women 65 or older. o The Women’s Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study found no beneficial effects of vitamin C, vitamin E or beta carotene on cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack, stroke or death) in more than 8,000 female health professionals 40 years or older who were at high risk for cardiovascular disease.”

Can taking supplements ever be harmful? According to Janet Brill, Ph.D., R.D., a Florida-based nutrition expert, there have been thousands of well–designed clinical studies examining the effects of consuming isolated antioxidant supplements such as vitamin E, beta carotene and vitamin C on the development of chronic degenerative diseases. “While most have shown either beneficial or neutral effects, there is some concern over research demonstrating that higher doses can actually increase

myocardial events and promote cancer cell proliferation.” For example, the CARET study (The BetaCarotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial), which looked at more than 18,000 men and women who were smokers, former smokers or workers exposed to asbestos, found that at the end of four years lung cancer incidence was 28 percent higher in those subjects taking beta carotene supplements compared with those taking a placebo. The Cochrane Library, a well–known scientific research collaboration among world scholars reviewed 67 randomized trials with a combined participation of 232,550 subjects to assess the effects of antioxidant supplements on mortality in primary or secondary prevention. The authors came to the conclusion that there is “no evidence to support antioxidant supplements for primary or secondary prevention.” And, in fact, vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin E may increase mortality. This review was controversial and disputed by supplement manufacturers and the food industry (specifically those food manufacturers that add supplements to foods). I’ve seen the term ORAC associated with antioxidants — what does that stand for? Oxygen radical absorbance capacity. It is one method used to measure the amounts of antioxidants in foods. More specifically, it measures the degree of inhibition of peroxy–radical–induced oxidation of the compound being tested. Another method of testing antioxidant capacity is TAC or Total Antioxidant Capacity. According to Collins, “It’s interesting to note that while there are different methods of measuring antioxidant power, they don’t all come up with foods listed in the same order, which suggests that we still don’t fully understand exactly which best measures the physiological antioxidant effects of foods.” Click here to see the United States Department of Agriculture’s ORAC for selected foods. Where do you get the most antioxidant bang for your buck? There’s not a lot of research out there to point us decisively in the direction of a particular food. While we know that many vegetables and fruits are high in antioxidants, we don’t have as much evidence to determine specific amounts in each food. And Collins points out that we need to think about foods a little differently from the way we have in the past — not in terms of rank but in terms of synergistic combinations. “In the old days we seemed to consider certain foods high in particular vitamins ‘better’ than others. Today we know that even when a fruit or vegetable is not a major source of vitamin C or A or antioxidants, for example, it can supply important phytochemicals that improve your overall health.” And while fruits and vegetables are good sources, antioxidants are also found in other foods, including nuts, some seeds, legumes, coffee, tea and chocolate.
