MONROEJamez Dorjan Hunter

took the stand Wednes-day and denied killing his grandmother.

“I loved my grandmoth-er very much,” said Hunt-er, 27, formerly of 124 W. Union St., Marshville.

“She was more like my mother than my grand-mother. ... Every time you saw her, you saw me. ... She was my life, my ev-erything.”

On Wednesday, the state rested its case against Hunter, who is charged with first-degree murder. Rosia Lee Hunt-

er, was found stabbed to death in her home in Marshville on May 6, 2007. Hunter was the first witness called by defense attorney Norman But-ler. He told the jury how his grandmother raised him, how he fell into a life of drugs and what he remembers from the day

Rosia Hunter died.Late in the afternoon

of May 6, 2007, Jamez Hunter said, he was on the couch at his grand-mother’s house and she was lecturing him for not being able to keep a job and for hanging around with a bad crowd. Hunter said he went to the bath-

room to smoke crack co-caine and take a tablet of ecstasy, then came back out. Rosia Hunter contin-ued to caution her grand-son against a drug-filled life and he went back to the bathroom to smoke more crack cocaine, he said.

MONROEA health care consult-

ing firm might help with the potential sale of Car-olinas Medical Center-Union.

The Union County Board of Commissioners again discussed selling the hospital, appraised at about $225 million, in order to pay down county debt.

Tuesday, the board heard a presentation from Illinois-based Kauf-man Hall, which hopes to help market the facility, but did not vote to award a contract.

Commissioners want to keep the option of re-taining ownership and extending the lease with Carolinas Healthcare System, a factor that complicates contracts with any company hired to market the hospital.

Typically, a company would be paid a portion of the selling price, but, because they have not committed to the sale, commissioners will have to hash out a different contract structure, they said Wednesday.

MONROEMonroe residents will

pick up postal packages at a new location starting Tuesday.

The site on Dickerson Boulevard will be open to those with a 28110 or 28112 ZIP code who receive mail at home. Post office box renters will still pick their packages up at the current site at 101 S. Char-lotte Ave.

Postmaster Dale Apple

said the two ZIP codes cover about 35,000 deliv-ery sites.

“If you get one of those little pink slips and it’s for a street address, then you would pick up the pack-age (on Dickerson Boule-vard),” post office super-visor Lora Murphy said.

Union County’s recent growth has caught up with the post office and “we have outgrown our current facility,” Apple said.

WEDDINGTONBoard of Education

members backed Union County commissioners Tuesday.

Board members said they were pleased with commissioners’ deci-sion Monday to allow the schools’ Facilities Committee to operate without county Plan-ning Board interven-tion.

Facilities Commit-tee and Planning Board members have been at odds for several weeks on the school construc-tion and renovation process.

Planning Board mem-bers hoped for oversight on school construction to avoid unnecessary costs to taxpayers. The dispute stemmed from a Marvin Ridge storm-water project that the Planning Board says wasted thousands of dollars by not adhering to state guidelines.

School officials said they followed rules as they were stated at the current time.

A September meeting between the two parties established a possible compromise that the Planning Board reject-ed last week. Commis-sioners took the school board’s side on Monday, allowing the Facilities

Committee to skip what committee members said would have been a drawn-out permitting process.

School officials said delayed construction could have led to inad-equate facilities for stu-dents.

The Facilities Com-mittee will now follow the steps it developed with the Planning Board in September, providing project docu-ments to county staff as construction and renovations unfold.

One such document is a checklist provided by the Planning Board that outlines permit-ting requirements.

Also, in closed ses-sion, the school board also discussed the pend-ing lawsuit with Union Academy to seek advice from its attorney.

Union Academy and six other state charter schools are suing the state, as well as their respective counties and school boards for a chance at capital fund-ing. Charter schools receive local and state money only for opera-tional expenses. Tra-ditional public schools receive both operation-al and capital funding.

No comments about the lawsuit were made in open session.

Waxhaw does not need 90 housing units

I am writing this letter be-cause I have no other lawful way to express my concerns to the Waxhaw Town Commission-ers! The proposed development which calls for 90 + apartments to be constructed in the heart of the historic downtown Wax-haw is extremely disturbing!

The proposal also calls for re-building or replacing many of the outdated and eyesore build-ings on Hwy 16 and Broome Street. I am in agreement new business sites will be a much needed improvement.

Ninety plus apartments are not needed nor appropriate! Where will the water and sewer for a possible 180 plus people and traffic control for 180 plus cars come from? Does the pro-posed federal lending tell our town officials who can and can-not rent the ninety plus apart-ments?

It is my speculation that the apartments the developer says he needs to build to have enough money to replace the run down buildings will be the only build-ings that will ever be built!!

Does Waxhaw really need ninety plus apartments? High-end apartments for profession-al people we are told. Why not build town houses or condo’s if they are such high-ended per-sons. Owning one’s dwelling would not only increase taxes but insure that they are well-kept as well. I am a teacher by profession.

I have been a tax-paying resi-dent of Waxhaw for forty-three years. I have had the priviledge of teaching thousands of Wax-haw children. Please!! Let’s continue to teach our children not to sell their souls as well as

the soul of Waxhaw for the al-mighty dollar!

Werner Thomisser will move us on right path

“If you have not had the pleasure of meeting Werner Thomisser you are in for a treat.

As you may know, Werner is running for a seat on the Wed-dington Town Council on No-vember 3rd. He has been active in our community for several years and I have had the plea-sure of working with him on issues.

Werner’s first and most im-portant priority is to retain Weddington’s quality of life. He wants to insure that our taxes are used for a public purpose such as adequate fire/police protection, and EMS coverage.

Werner will represent Wed-dington citizens’ needs, not those with personal agendas which we have heard or read about over the past few years.

Werner is a real gentleman that can be counted on to stand up for all Weddington citizens. He recognizes that our little town is “special”. In a sea of developement he brings “com-mon sense” to the table.

He has worked hard to get the Providence VFD what it needs and a traffic light at Providence Rd. and Hemby Rd. He also was able to get an EMS ambulance for Weddington by working with the Union County Board of Commissioners and the Wed-dington Town Council.

Last year he fought hard against a private sewer plant proposal for Weddington. I am a long time resident and have

never seen a harder worker for our town. Right now Wedding-ton is a gem, a special place where taxes are low and yet we have everything we need within a few miles. Why must we be like every town around us? Weddington is unique and is not wall to wall shoppi ng centers.

According to our last town survey, 72 percent of residents want to leave the town the way it is. Why are our town leaders not listening? Bigger is not bet-ter. Werner understands what the people of Weddington want. I have been waiting for a library for 15 years! Werner has a plan.

Weddington residents please consider voting for Werner Thomisser and he will get us moving in the right direction. Please help Werner help us. Thank you and remember to vote on November 3rd.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, President Obama’s personal choice to lead U.S. and coali-tion forces and operations in Afghanistan, has officially made a request for between 30,000 and 40,000 additional troops. He asserts that with-out this troop infusion, we run a very real risk of failing to meet our military objectives in Afghanistan, failing to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and ruining the hope of providing a stable enough atmosphere that the Afghan military and police can eventually assume control of their internal secu-rity and defend against exter-nal threats.

McChrystal is not alone in this request. Gen. David Petra-eus, the brilliant architect and manager of the United States’ successful “surge” in Iraq who now commands United States Central Command, has at-tached his name to the grow-ing list of supporters for the troop increase request. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, has also indicated that more

troops will be needed to avoid failure in Afghanistan.

Avoiding failure on this front is a non-negotiable. Such a failure, in both military and political terms, would be cata-strophic to American interests at home and abroad. Such a scenario would likely include a revitalized Taliban and Al Qaeda that are ceded strategic territory in which to thrive, train and plot. And just as im-portantly, it would give these murderous thugs the type of public relations victory they have been seeking since the September 11 attacks -- simi-lar to their failed effort to bog down and cause a hasty retreat

of U.S. troops in Iraq.President Obama, it is time

to listen to your field generals over liberal Washington po-liticos, just as you did in Feb-ruary of this year when you approved an initial increase of 21,000 troops. President Obama, it is now time to give Gen. McChrystal the troops he needs to get the job done.

There is no doubt that send-ing our brave men and wom-en into harm’s way is one of the most difficult decisions a president has to make. No one should criticize the presi-dent for taking a few weeks to thoroughly review this latest request -- especially in light of our numerous obligations throughout the globe which have stretched our troops and their equipment quite thin re-cently. A troop increase of this magnitude requires consider-ation and long-term planning.

However, in this case, I am concerned that the president is weighing not only the mili-tary calculations, but that, due to his political party’s internal politics, he is also being forced

to weigh the intra-Democratic Party political consequences of his decisions at a time when liberal voters, interest groups and political operations are gearing up for the critical 2010 mid-term elections.

President Obama owes much of his success in the primary elections to his early opposi-tion to the Iraq War, and the loyalty that gave him from the anti-war left. Now some of that block are trying to collect on a conflict where not long ago President Obama told us, “the world cannot afford the price that will come due if Afghani-stan slides back into chaos.”

Vice President Biden has also been in his ear opposing the troop level recommenda-tions. Speaker Pelosi and the lead Democratic Senator on the Armed Services Com-mittee have both stated their strong opposition to any addi-tional troops. Some have even started to talk of a timetable for withdrawal.

There are no easy decisions when waging a war. Right now though, President Obama has

personally talked with the commanding officer in Afghan-istan only once in the 70 days Gen. McChrystal has been in command, and I can guess how that stacks up against conver-sations with his party’s vocal left-wing. There may not be easy decisions, but the best decision our president could make right now is to turn that ratio inside out so that he can start making the right deci-sions to win this war and bring our troops home with victory.

North Carolina is asking for more federal high-speed rail funding than it’s likely to get, but it could put the money to good use. All $5.3 billion.

Only $8 billion is available nationally under the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act, so the North Caro-lina application is brash.

It ought to be. State transportation planners have been working on this for 20 years, anticipating a day when the country would get serious about expanding passenger-friendly rail service beyond the Northeast corridor.

The time will come. North Carolina’s groundwork and location along the designated Southeast High Speed Rail corridor put it in prime position for a major investment of federal funds.

It will cost billions to upgrade track, eliminate road crossings, improve stations and otherwise make rail a vi-able alternative for intercity travel — as it is in Europe, Japan and, soon, China. Americans are used to driving, but if rail service is fast and convenient, they’ll consider taking the train. North Carolina transportation officials are aiming for top speeds of 90 mph to 110 mph between Charlotte and Richmond, Va. Even with numerous stops — including High Point, Greensboro and Burlington — trains could maintain average speeds of 86 mph, planners say.

That doesn’t match the super speeds of European and Japanese “bullet trains,” but it may be enough to draw millions of Americans each year out of their automobiles at least sometimes, relieving highway congestion and re-ducing air pollution.

With relatively little federal money available, compe-tition is fierce. A new report by America 2050, a private organization that promotes rail travel, ranks the Char-lotte-Washington, D.C., rail connection only No. 17 on its national priority list for federal funding, behind routes in the Northeast as well as Dallas-Houston; Chicago to De-troit, Columbus, St. Louis and Cleveland; and Los Angeles to San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose and Phoenix.

The truth is, the United States should improve passen-ger rail capacity in all those areas as a critical infrastruc-ture investment. North Carolina is ready to get on board.

HunterContinued from Page 1A

“I got kind of light-headed,” he testified. “I was disoriented and ... saw white spots, almost like it was snowing.”

Hunter said he leaned his head on the bathroom counter and blacked out. When he came to, he tes-tified, “I had blood all over me,” and he saw his grandmother on the floor.

“Did you kill your grandmother?” Butler asked him.

“No, sir,” Hunter an-swered.

“Why not?” asked But-ler

“I never had a reason to,” Hunter answered. “I loved my grandmother.”

Hunter then told how he went to Lancaster, S.C., and was arrested on May 17, 2007, and inter-viewed by State Bureau of Investigation special agents Brandon Black-man and Christie Hearne, who asked him questions relating to the death in-vestigation.

“Did you tell agent Blackman that you killed

your grandmother?” But-ler asked Hunter.

“I don’t recall that,” he answered.

Blackman testified Tuesday that, during the interview, Hunter said, “I’m strong enough to kill my grandma, but I’m not strong enough to kill my-self.”

During cross-examina-tion, Assistant District Attorney Ernest Collins pressed Hunter on the events that lead to Rosia Hunter’s death.

“Mr. Hunter, you killed your grandmother, didn’t you?” was his first ques-tion.

Jamez Hunter consis-tently denied any rec-ollection of killing his grandmother, repeatedly stating that he “blacked out” while his grand-mother was killed.

“Isn’t it true that you are making that story up to save yourself ?” Col-lins asked. Hunter denied that also.

Hunter will resume his testimony at 9:30 this morning. Closing argu-ments are expected today and the case is expected to go to the jury this af-ternoon.

HospitalContinued from Page 1A

Commissioner Tracy Kuehler said a phased contract could be es-tablished so that at the end of each agreed phase, both entities could split and Union County taxpayers will pay only a pre-set amount.

“The last thing I want to do is spend $500,000 and not sell the hos-pital,” Kuehler said Tuesday.

Commissioner Allan Baucom opposes the sale.

“Where is the net profit to the citizens of Union County going to come from?” he asked. “There is not a clear, rational reason to move forward with the sale of the hospital.”

Baucom said he would keep an open mind about Kaufman Hall’s presentation and “voice an opin-ion if I feel it’s appropriate.”

According to Baucom, one road-block to selling the hospital is that Carolinas Healthcare System still has a contract to operate the hospital for the next decade. That could make the asset less appeal-ing to another hospital that would want the facility for itself.

Kaufman Hall senior vice presi-dent Mike Finnerty agreed that the length of the lease made this a “unique” proposal.

Kuehler looked at it from a dif-ferent angle. Because the lease comes with two seats on the hospi-tal’s board of directors, it could be appealing for a competitor to have influence on policies, she argued.

Commissioner Lanny Open-shaw added that the political landscape of Union fluctuates regularly.

“Somewhere along the line there could be a weak link in the chain and make a bad decision,” he said,

making an argument to sell the building.

Another obstacle in finding a buyer is that the commission-ers want to continue to provide “the best healthcare that we can provide for the citizens of Union County,” as Baucom put it. That means that a prospective buyer will likely have restrictions in the contract.

“The more restrictions you put on an asset, the lower its value,” said Finnerty.

“But you’re talking about mon-etary value,” countered Baucom, reminding him that there are oth-er values in play for the hospital sale.

No contract was hashed out Wednesday, but commissioners said they have a better feel for what Kaufman Hall could provide and expect to make a decision by the Oct. 19 meeting.

PackageContinued from Page 1A

“We can’t house all the carriers and postal equip-ment necessary for pro-cessing and distribution,” he said.

The new location has been in the works for the past few years, Murphy said, and will offer more space for carriers to sort mail. Carriers currently do their work in one of two trailers attached to the post office on South Charlotte Avenue.

The additional site, called the Monroe car-rier annex, will house 50 carriers, as well as four automated letter-sorting machines and manual dis-tribution cases. Monroe residents receive thou-sands of packages a week, Apple said, most of them delivered by carriers. About 25 packages are held at the post office for

pickup each day.Those from the two

ZIP code areas who want to stop delivery of their mail for a period of time will also have to do that the carrier annex. Stamp purchases and other cus-tomer services will still be handled at the South Charlotte Avenue location. The new location will not offer those services. The two sites are less than two miles from each other.

Apple said the transi-tion “should be seamless. (Customers) shouldn’t be able to tell any difference, other than where they pick up their packages.”

The carrier annex is at 1639 Dickerson Blvd. be-hind Tire Warehouse. It will have the same hours as the current location — from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon-day through Friday and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday. For more information, call 704-283-2565 or 704-289-4508.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumers reduced their borrowing for the seventh straight month in August, as households worked to pay off debt and banks re-duced credit card limits.

Americans are saving more and borrowing less as widespread job losses, stagnant wages and dwin-dling home values have spurred a move to greater frugality. While that’s a positive trend in the long run, economists say, it can weaken the fledgling recovery as consumer spending powers about 70 percent of the economy.

The Federal Reserve

said Wednesday that total consumer debt outstand-ing fell in August by $12 billion, a 5.8 percent an-nual rate. Wall Street economists expected a $10 billion decline.

That follows a down-wardly revised drop of $19 billion, or 9.1 percent, in July, the largest decline in dollar terms on records dating from 1943. July’s decrease was the steep-est percentage drop since a 16.3 percent decline in June 1975.

“Consumers are clearly becoming much more conservative about their spending habits (and) pay-

ing down debts,” said Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Securities. “This is likely to continue.”

The declines reflect both a drop in demand for credit by consumers, as well as tighter standards among banks and other lenders.

Total consumer credit outstanding is now $2.46 trillion, down about 4.6 percent from its peak in July. The Fed’s report covers credit cards, store cards, auto and other per-sonal loans. It doesn’t in-clude mortgages or other real-estate related debt.

The retrenchment in

August occurred even as consumer spending increased 1.3 percent, ac-cording to a report last week from the Commerce Department. That sug-gests consumers are in-creasingly buying with cash rather than credit, Pandl said.

The Cash for Clunk-ers auto rebate program helped boost personal spending in August. Econ-omists noted that auto loans and other non-re-volving debt dropped only 1.6 percent that month, according to the Fed, com-pared with a 12.6 percent fall in July.

What’sHappening

The Carolina Renaissance Festival and Artisan Market-place begins in annual run this weekend at the festival grounds on Poplar Tent Road just off N.C. Highway 73 between Concord and Huntersville.

Steve Martin will perform with the Steep Canyon Rangers Saturday at the new Knight Theater in downtown Charlotte. Writer Dave Barry will also be part of the show.


WASHINGTON (AP) — Estrogen fuels breast cancer yet doctors can’t measure how much of the hormone is in a wom-an’s breast without cut-ting into it. A Canadian invention might change that: A lab-on-a-chip that can do the work quickly with just the poke of a small needle.

Several years of study are needed before the ex-perimental device could hit doctors’ offices, but the research published Wednesday opens the tantalizing possibility of easy, routine monitor-ing of various hormones. Doctors could use it to see if breast cancer ther-apy is working, tell who’s at high risk, or for other problems, such as infer-tility — maybe even pros-

tate cancer.“It’s thought-provoking

to think, ’What could I do with a tool like this?”’ said Dr. Kelly Marcom, breast oncology chief at Duke University Medi-cal Center, who wasn’t involved with the new invention. “It opens up an avenue of investiga-tion that without tools like this, you couldn’t ex-plore.”

The University of To-ronto researchers used a powerful new technology to measure tiny droplets of estrogen from sam-ples at least 1,000 times smaller than today’s test-ing requires. Called digi-tal microfluidics, it uses electricity to separate and purify droplets of the hormone from a mix of other cells — all on the

surface of a chip no big-ger than a credit card.

“Droplets essentially can be made to dance across the surface,” said University of Toronto engineer Aaron Wheeler, who co-invented the de-vice and calls the project “the most fun I’ve had in science.”

The research was pub-lished in a new journal, Science Translational Medicine.

Here’s the problem: Sci-entists have long known that estrogen plays a role in many breast cancers. While hormone tests tra-ditionally are done with blood, estrogen is par-ticularly concentrated in breast tissue and breast cancer patients have much higher levels than other women. But mea-

suring breast estrogen requires a fairly substan-tial biopsy, a painful and invasive procedure with its own risks. Then come hours of intense labora-tory work to extract and purify the estrogen from the mishmash of other cells. So that breast-test-ing is hardly ever done.

If doctors had a way to easily monitor breast es-trogen levels, they could track which cancer sur-vivors are responding to widely used estrogen-blocking therapies — ta-moxifen or drugs known as aromatase inhibitors — that aim to avoid a recurrence. They might even shed light on who’s at high risk for develop-ing cancer.

“The breast makes its own estrogen,” explained

Toronto gynecology spe-cialist Dr. Noha Mousa. “We have solid evidence that measuring estrogen inside the breast is im-portant. No. 1 is to see if these medications are working.”

The Toronto team put the multi-step lab pro-cessing onto the surface of the new chip. Electri-cal currents move drop-lets around the chip, al-lowing solvents and other chemicals to dissolve a dried tissue sample and remove other biologi-cal substances until just droplets of estrogen are left. The team took small breast tissue samples — the amount pulled from a needle instead of an open biopsy — plus blood samples from two breast cancer patients, and re-

ported that the chip al-lowed accurate estrogen measurement.

Next up: Mousa will use the technique to measure estrogen levels in a soon-to-start study of more than 200 Cana-dian women at high risk of getting breast cancer, who are testing whether taking those estrogen-blocking aromatase in-hibitors for a year lowers their risk.

But the technology is applicable to more than breast cancer. Mousa points to infertile women who have large amounts of blood drawn several times a month to see if treatment is sparking ovulation, saying she’s also testing whether the chip might substitute pinpricks of blood.

Chip measures breast estrogen with just a pokeExperimental device could eventually make it easier to detect cancer risk or to see if therapy working

NEW YORK (AP) — The hotel industry is reexamining guest pri-vacy safeguards in light of the case of an ESPN reporter who was video-taped nude through the peephole of her hotel room door, allegedly by a man who reserved an adjacent room.

“This is a wakeup call for the hotel industry,” said Peter Greenberg, author of “Hotel Secrets from the Travel Detec-tive” and CBS travel edi-tor.

Court papers say Mi-chael D. Barrett request-ed and received a hotel room adjacent to ESPN reporter Erin Andrews at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University. Barrett then allegedly jimmied the peephole of Andrews’ hotel door, shot the videos and uploaded them to the Internet.

Until now, requests for adjacent rooms have been handled inconsis-tently throughout the

hotel industry. If you ask for a room next to an-other guest, some hotels

will call the other guest for consent, but many will simply go ahead and

book it without confirm-ing with the other party.

“There is no consis-

tent policy within indi-vidual brands or across the industry,” said John Burns, president of Hos-pitality Technology Con-sulting in Scottsdale, Ariz. “It is in the hotel industry’s cultural DNA to attempt to satisfy guests’ ’adjacent room’ or ’connecting room’ re-quests.”

Such requests are not uncommon from extend-ed families, tour partici-pants and individuals traveling together for work or conventions. “It would not be unusual for a guest who affirmative-

ly seems to know that another guest is regis-tered to ask to be placed adjacent or near another guest and for that re-quest to be honored,” said Bjorn Hansen, a professor at New York University’s Tisch Cen-ter for Hospitality, Tour-ism and Sports Manage-ment.

But Burns said “given the recent focus on this issue, I expect that poli-cies related to handling this request are under consideration both at the property and brand level.”

ESPN videotape case shows holes in hotel securityNEW YORK (AP) — The case of an ESPN report-

er who was videotaped through a peephole in her hotel room door shows how easy it is for a hotel guest’s security and privacy to be violated. Here are some tips for staying safe in hotels.

• Desk clerks should never say your room num-ber aloud when you check in. The number should be written on the card key sleeve and discreetly handed to you. You have every right to ask for a different room if the room number is announced, according to Peter Greenberg, CBS travel editor and author of “Hotel Secrets from the Travel De-tective.”

• Solo travelers, especially those juggling lug-gage and card keys, are vulnerable to push-ins at their hotel room door. If you feel uncomfort-able walking from the lobby to your room, “ask the front desk to provide an escort from the hotel staff,” Greenberg said.

• If you haven’t requested room service or as-sistance from housekeeping, and someone knocks on your hotel door claiming to be a member of the hotel staff, “call the front desk and ask if someone from their staff is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose,” according to a list of “Guest Safety Tips” from the American Hotel &

Lodging Association. It’s not unusual for high-end hotels to send staff for turndown service or to de-liver complimentary chocolates and other ameni-ties, but even someone who appears to be wearing a uniform can be a phony.

• Last summer the hotel industry reported a spate of prank calls to hotel employees and guests in which frantic callers claimed to be reporting an emergency such as a fire that required guests to leave their rooms. The American Hotel & Lodging Association says if you receive such a call, hang up and call the front desk for confirmation before leaving your room.

• Memorize the locations of elevators and emergency exits on your floor.

• Keep hotel room windows and doors locked, and blinds and drapes closed. Be sure to check bathroom windows, sliding glass doors and doors that connect adjacent rooms. Use whatever bolt or chain locks are on the door whenever you are inside the room.

• If you are worried about being spied on through the peephole of your door, Greenberg sug-gests covering it with a piece of duct tape, which is easy to remove if you do get a knock on the door and want to see who’s on the other side.

Owens participated in a fifth-grade project at the school, in which students remem-bered Sept. 11, 2001, by making book jackets. He talked to the students about what it means to him and other military families to have support from the community.

ACADEMICSPR students part of space mission

INDIAN TRAILAs part of their focus on learning the language

of science this semester, sixth- through 12th-grade

students enrolled in Porter Ridge Middle and High schools English as a Second Language classes have been studying the NASA Mars missions.

Students used the Internet to contact the aero-nautics engineering team designing the robotic probe scheduled to blast off for Mars this month.

In response to their inquiries, the Mars Sci-ence Laboratory has encoded each student’s name on a microchip that will be carried by the mission rover to the planet’s surface.

When the spacecraft arrives on Mars in 2011, these names will be “planted” in the alien soil.

MONROETwo of the top three de-

fenses in Union County will be on the field when Marvin Ridge High travels to Porter Ridge in a Southern Caro-lina Conference matchup on Friday starting at 7:30 p.m..

The Mavericks (6-0, 0-0 SCC) have been dominant in their six wins, allowing just 16 combined points for a county-best average of 2.7 points per game. They have three shutouts and haven’t allowed more than seven points in a game this season.

Marvin Ridge has al-lowed just two TDs, and one of those was against the second-team defensive unit at the end of a lopsided win.

“It’s not any secret that we rely on our defense to win the game for us,” said Marvin Ridge coach Scott Chadwick. “We just need our offense to be productive enough to make it easy on them. It’s a luxury to have a defense like we do because we know we won’t have to win a game in a shootout.”

Porter Ridge (4-2, 0-0 SCC) coach Blair Hardin has seen plenty of film on the Mavericks, and knows the challenge his offense will face on Friday.

MR junior linebacker Vin-nie Sunseri leads the team with 40 tackles while fellow linebackers Dylan Williams and Griffin Weidele rank sec-ond and third in tackles with 38 and 30 stops, respectively.

“(Marvin Ridge) has a very sound scheme de-fensively,” said Hardin. “Their linebackers are the heart of their defense and they do a good job of pursuing the football. They believe in what they are doing and their entire defense is making plays.”

Porter Ridge’s defense has also been impres-sive, especially of late.

wEddiNgtONWith a 5-4 victory over Mar-

vin Ridge on Wednesday, the Weddington High girls tennis team is tied with the Maver-icks for the best record in the Southern Carolina 3A/4A Conference at 6-1.

The two teams are sched-uled to meet, tentatively, on Wednesday Oct. 14 at a neu-tral location to decide a SCC champion.

The Mavericks came out on top 6-3 during the last meeting of the two powerhouses – but the Warrior faithful flooded the match area to pump en-ergy towards the home team.

“I think it was the best at-mosphere I’ve seen for a high school match in the years I’ve been coaching,” WHS coach

Mike Murphy said. “The fans that they brought out were extremely supportive …”

The difference maker on Wednesday was the match at the number two seed between WHS’s Sarah Carroll and MR’s Hannah Florian.

Florian had won a decisive 10-6 tiebreaker during the last meeting, but Carroll, a junior, persevered 7-6, 6-4 – wiping out memories of her previ-ous, disheartening defeat.

“I was looking forward to the match a lot,” Carroll said. “I didn’t want to get my hopes up saying I could win, but I just did my best and tried to get the ball back.

“I tried to hit winners as much as I could in the first set and the second set I just tried to stay consistent with her.”

Murphy credits Carroll with being one of the clean-est ball strikers for Wedding-ton.

“It was huge to get out to the early lead in the second set rather than get down quick,” Murphy said.

Carroll was teamed up with number four seed Samantha Wingo during doubles play as they defeated Minali Nigam and Mariel Emery.

Their doubles victory sealed the team win for WHS.

“We knew to have a chance at winning the [team] match we had to win our doubles match,” Wingo said.

MARViNThe Weddington High volleyball

team will travel to face Marvin Ridge this afternoon in a critical Southern Carolina 3A/4A Confer-ence match.

The Warriors are the top seed in the SCC, but Marvin Ridge is a close number two.

During their first meeting this season, the Warriors knocked off the Mavericks 3-0 – but the match was closer than that score might suggest.

In front of their home crowd, the Warriors won the first two sets 25-22, then the third set was decided 25-20.

The Mavericks led at one point during set two 22-21, but were un-able to capitalize.

Weddington coach Carrie Powell has been with the program since the school’s inception in 2000, posting a record of 215-56 during that stretch.

ROUgHEdgETwo programs trying to get

to the corner first will meet up at Weddington on Friday.

Weddington and Parkwood are both 3-3 heading into Fri-day’s Southern Carolina Con-ference opener, and the winner will grab an inside track on a playoff bid and the league title — considering there are only five conference games.

Parkwood coach Nelson

Rowell feels his team has something to prove coming off the bye week. The Reb-els’ three wins are against teams with a combined record of 4-15, and Parkwood’s three losses have been by an average of 26.3 points.

“Our conference is tough this year; there are no weak games,” Rowell said. “I’ll be

honest. Looking at it on paper right now, we’re probably considered to be the weakest team in our conference. If you look at it on paper, because of the way we’ve played. We may have used that a little as motivation for our kids. Wed-dington has improved so much since last year’s it’s scary and I’ve seen Porter Ridge on tape twice and they’re a lot better. There’s not a weak team in this conference. There’s just not.”

Weddington entered the sea-

son on a 16-game losing streak, but has tasted some success.

Rowell attended the Warriors’ 21-7 loss at Olympic last week.

“Of all the teams I’ve seen this year, Weddington is the most improved from last year,” Rowell said. “Last year we beat them by 16 points (37-21), but physically, we manhandled them. They just were not a physical football team. This year they are physical.”

WHO’S NEWSDoster’s OT goal gives Panthers win

UNIONVILLE — TJ Doster scored his second goal of the night in dou-ble overtime to lift the Piedmont High

boys soccer team to a 3-2 home win over Monroe on Wednesday.

Jonas Nader also found the back of the net for the Panthers (8-6-1, 8-3 RRC) while Julian Sanchez, Tony Tarango and

Caleb Arp all added assists.Nader’s 20 goals lead Union

County.Jesus Cornejo had a goal and an

assist to pace Monroe (9-3, 8-2 RRC). Fernando Estevez had the other goal for MHS while Christian Perez dished an assist.

Mason Montgomery recorded 14 saves in goal for the Panthers and MHS goalie Rafael Martinez had 11 stops.

Both teams are back in action on Monday. Piedmont plays at Cuthbert-son while Monroe takes on archrival Forest Hills at home.

Crabtree finallysigns with 49ers

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Michael Crabtree have agreed to a six-year contract after several months of difficult negotiations.

While specifics of the contract weren’t disclosed, Crabtree will re-ceive nearly $17 million in guaranteed money, according to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details weren’t made public.

The 10th overall draft pick sat out offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence at the Niners’ training facility.

Crabtree and his agent, Eugene Parker, sat down with three top 49ers officials Tuesday to work through his contract impasse. The former Texas Tech star had balked at an offer of five years and $20 million, instead seeking money comparable to higher draft picks.

Local seniors fare well in state games

RALEIGH — Three participants from Union County recently participat-ed in the 2009 North Carolina Senior Games State finals, and each came away with at least two medals.

Waxhaw resident Butch Baker was the most successful, bringing home medals in seven different events, including the football throw (gold), running long jump (bronze), stand-ing long jump (silver), spin casting (bronze), 100-meter dash (bronze), 50-yard freestyle (bronze) and the shuffleboard (bronze).

Bob Neill out of Monroe placed in the standing long jump (silver), 100-yard breaststroke (bronze) and 50-yard breaststroke (silver).

Waxhaw’s John Marshall also com-peted, bringing home silver medals in the Cycling 1-mile event and 5K.

DefensesContinued from Page 1B

The Pirates have held each of their last three opponents to six points and are giv-ing up an average of just 5.3 points per game in their four wins.

One big reason Porter Ridge has been effective on defense has been their ability to force turnovers. The Pirates have 18 takeaways and four defen-sive TDs in six games.

PR senior defensive end

Tyler Kirk has a team-high three fumble recoveries, in-cluding two that he returned for touchdowns.

“One thing we’ve talked about this week is being con-scious of protecting the foot-ball because (Porter Ridge) has done a great job of forc-ing turnovers,” said Chad-wick. “On top of that, they are turning those turnovers into points, so we’ve really made a point of emphasis of protecting the ball.”

The Pirates have 15 sacks, including a team-best five by junior defensive end Aaron Johnson.

“The one thing I’ve noticed is (Porter Ridge) doesn’t give up the big play and their D-line creates a lot of pressure in both the run and pass game,” said Chadwick. “They aren’t real big up front, but they all play extremely hard and make up for their size with a lot of quickness.”

While the Mavs’ defense re-ceives most of the attention, the other side of the ball has plenty of weapons as well.

Junior receiver KJ Brent, who has scholarship offers from North Carolina, East Carolina and Duke, leads the county in receiving yards

with 406 on 23 catches. Sophomore quarterback

Tyler Chadwick has thrown for 562 yards and eight touch-downs against two intercep-tions while junior tailback Kolly Ogar ranks seventh in the county with an average of 81.0 rushing yards per game.

“Their quarterback does a good job of managing the offense and they’re big and strong up front,” said Har-din.

“The Brent kid is explosive and they’ve got a couple good backs that can run the ball, so they’re very balanced of-fensively.”

Sophomore Matt Cureton scored a goal off a throw-in from junior Dannon Fields with 20 minutes left in the game to give Cuthbertson a 1-0 road win over Central Academy in boys soccer on Monday.

Trent Johnson and Adam Lutz com-bined for the shutout in goal for the Cavaliers, who are now 10-0 in the Rocky River Conference and 11-2 over-all.

“It could have gone either way,” said Cavs coach Nelson Garner. “They had their chances. We were very lucky to come out with a victory.”

CATA had eight shots on goal com-pared to 13 by the Cavs.

Bryant Sonsire had 10 saves in goal for Central, now 5-8-1 overall and 5-6 in the league.

Cuthbertson is at home Monday against Piedmont starting at 6 p.m. while CATA travels to Berry Academy the same day.

VolleyballPanthers now 19-1

In Marshville, the Piedmont High vol-leyball team improved to 19-1 overall and 12-1 in the Rocky River Conference with a 3-0 win over Forest Hills on Wednesday. Set scores were 25-7, 25-17 and 25-12.

The Panthers are currently tied for first place in the league with North Stan-ly with three matches left on the confer-ence schedule. The Comets and Panthers split their two regular season meetings.

Taylor Simpson had 19 assists and three aces for the Panthers while team-mate Nicole Hyatt added four digs, two kills and two blocks.

Katie Simpson posted six kills and was 13-for-13 on serves with three aces. Anne Duechcing had four kills, three digs, two blocks and was 12-for-12 on serves with five aces.

Courtney Barrineau added nine kills and Kaley Welsh had three kills for Pied-mont.

CHARLOTTECharlotte Latin blanked Wedding-

ton 25-21, 25-22, 25-17 in volleyball ac-tion on Wednesday.

The loss dropped Weddington to 14-3 on the season heading into today’s big conference match at Marvin Ridge.

“We were a little bit out of sync and looking forward to Marvin Ridge,” said WHS coach Carrie Powell. “Lat-in’s good, but mentally I don’t think we were really into it. I hope the loss focuses us better for Marvin Ridge. It was a faster game than we’ve been used to the last couple of weeks. Hope-fully it will have us better prepared for Marvin Ridge.”

Allison Rickher led Weddington with 10 kills and 13 blocks, Amy Schwartz contributed six kills and 11 digs and Alex Kachulis finished with 36 digs.

Now in her 24th sea-son as a head volley-ball coach in Union County, including three at Parkwood followed by 11 at Sun Valley, Powell has compiled a career re-cord of 369-151.

Powell has secured at least a share of her sixth conference title since taking over at WHS, and won two league crowns at Sun Valley.

RebelsContinued from Page 1B

Concerned about a lack of depth, Rowell said he “babied the team too much” once the season started.

But after 32-14 home loss to Northwest Cabarrus dropped the Rebels to 2-3, the approach to practice has changed.

“It was my fault because I was too worried about this one going down or that one going down,” he said. “After Northwest Cabarrus, I was like ‘The heck with that.’ We took the gloves off and we’ve been rockin’ and rollin’ ever since. We’ve had some great practices the last couple weeks.”

The Rebels have used the week off to shuffle the defensive lineup.

The changes include using cornerback Marcus Smith as an outside linebacker.

“They want us to have a little more speed on the outside, so I’ve got that under control,” Smith said after Wednesday’s practice. “We need some aggressiveness and I bring that. It’s my senior year and I’m trying to make something happen.”

Senior Andrew Jauch, like Smith a key member of the secondary the last two years, will also see more time around the line of scrimmage.

“We’re trying to be more aggres-

sive at the line of scrimmage to make it harder for people to run on us,” Smith said. “We’ve been looking pretty good in practice. If we can win this game, it will boost our confidence level.”

Rowell said senior quarterback Maurice Leak will continue to get more playing time at cornerback.

“Maurice is so athletic, he can do whatever,” Rowell said. “We’ll see what the game situation is to see what lineups we’ll go with.

Parkwood has two starting line-backers out with injuries — senior Garrett Evans and sophomore Tim Richardson — so Smith will probably see extensive action at linebacker.

Smith, who is 5-foot-8 and 185 pounds, also plays in the offensive backfield as a tailback and fullback.

“If I came up to Smitty and said ‘We need ya to play left guard today, can you put on this No. 65 jersey? He would put it on, no questions asked,” Rowell said. “He wants to do whatever he can do. He just loves to play football and will do anything for the team. We’ve got a lot of kids like that.”

Weddington is led by two seniors who will wear major college foot-ball jerseys this time next year: QB Anthony Boone has already committed to Duke and lineman Darius Kilgo is considering a lengthy list of scholarship offers.

Rowell is also impressed with WHS senior safety Dom Ardrey, who had six tackles and a blocked field goal against Olympic.

“I know we have to account for No. 9 (Ardrey) at all times,” Row-ell said. “He’s a game-changer.”

Panthers hoping to get ground game on trackCHARLOTTE (AP) — DeAnge-

lo Williams was behind the NFL’s decision to allow players to wear pink cleats to raise awareness for breast cancer, then was home for his bye weekend when the initia-tive began last weekend.

Williams will be a week late donning pink Sunday against Washington, while the Carolina Panthers hope the Redskins game marks the day they finally get their running game in gear and record a win.

That would be coming a full month late.

“We’ve kind of been behind a little bit in the games so we’ve had to abandon the run game faster than we would have liked,” Williams said Wednesday. “We’ll see. Each game takes on a differ-ent beast all in its own. We’ll see if we can control the clock.”

A year after rushing for a

franchise-record 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns, and combin-ing with Jonathan Stewart for the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984, Williams’ numbers have declined in Caro-lina’s 0-3 start.

Williams has been held to 41 carries for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is getting 13.7 carries a game after averag-ing 17 a year ago.

The Panthers, who last year at-tempted a league-low 25.9 passes a game, have been throwing it an average of 36 times this year — without success.

“That’s what we do, we run the ball,” right tackle Jeff Otah said. “We’ve got to start out running the ball strong at the beginning of the game and keep on doing it.”

Coach John Fox has attrib-uted the decline in the rushing

attempts to falling behind. That was the case in Carolina’s 38-10 loss to Philadelphia in Week 1. The Panthers were in games un-til late the next two weeks, yet had 41 passes to 25 runs against Atlanta and 33 passes to 16 runs against Dallas.

“I can’t call the plays, man,” Williams said. “Whether we’re running the ball or whether we’re passing the ball we have to make our plays. That’s s o m e t h i n g we’ve been in-consistent in, making our plays, as opposed to a year ago.”

The running game last season took off after the bye week, and Williams would like a similar

breakout Sunday while he hon-ors his mom’s successful battle with cancer.

Williams, who said he lost three aunts to the disease, didn’t know his mother was diagnosed until after she was treated.

“She got it removed and she’s been in remission,” Williams said. “She’s a five-year survi-vor.”

Williams has since done char-ity work for breast cancer aware-ness, and in June went to Pan-thers director of community relations Riley Fields about lob-bying the league to let players wear pink cleats. The NFL had already planned to have pink-wrapped goalposts, wristbands and gloves, but hadn’t approved pink shoes.

The NFL decided to allow five or six players per team to wear pink cleats over two games. Wil-

liams and receiver Muhsin Mu-hammad, whose mother and mother-in-law are breast cancer survivors, are among the Pan-thers who will wear pink Sun-day.

“She was flipping through the channels this weekend and she was calling me every time she saw somebody in pink,” Williams said of his mother. “It meant a lot to her, so I know it meant a lot to a lot of the cancer survivors and families out there.”

Wearing pink and facing the Redskins’ suspect run defense would seem to be the perfect plat-form for Williams and Carolina to get out of their running funk. The Redskins rank 22nd in the league against the run, and the Panthers would like to take pres-sure off quarterback Jake Del-homme, who has seven intercep-tions and two lost fumbles.

VolleyballContinued from Page 1B

This season, her War-riors are undefeated in conference at 9-0, while Marvin Ridge has only the one loss to Weddington in conference.

Powell has been success-ful at preaching funda-mentals to her program, which has clinched at least a share of its sixth league title.

“I think I stress funda-mentals probably more than most coaches do just because the stronger the fundamentals are in a play-

er the better that player is going to be,” Powell said. “Even starting young, I al-ways stress fundamentals.

“Fundamentals to me is the name of the game and that is how you win games.”

While Powell has es-tablished a successful program at Weddington, Marvin Ridge coach Brook Sandburg appears to be do-ing the same.

“She definitely knows the game – she knows the different things to do to make a team better and she’s very strong at devel-oping fundamental skills,” Powell said of Sandburg.

Sandburg has playing

experience at Clemson University and received high school coaching ex-perience while living in Florida.

Powell and Sandburg have both worked for Union Volleyball club in the offseason.

“She’s a friend too,” Pow-ell said. “We get together every once in a while on volleyball things and trade off ideas.

“I have a lot of respect for her. She knows the game and she knows what to do to try and get her team ready for big games.”

The two conference ri-vals will square off today starting at 6 p.m.

WarriorsContinued from Page 1B

Wingo, a senior, is hop-ing to win her first con-ference championship with Weddington.

“It would mean a lot because we’ve worked so hard all four years I’ve been on the team and have been close in the past – to be even closer, it’s great,” Wingo said.

Marvin Ridge came prepared with their number one seed Ree Ree Li, who has appeared in two matches this season – both against archrival Weddington.

Li, the number two ranked player in the state for 16-year-old girls tennis, trailed 4-1 dur-ing set one to Meredith Branham, but fought off WHS’s number one seed 6-4, 6-0.

As Li was concentrat-ing on her game, many fans were upset at the fact that she has only competed against Wed-dington this season as she is mostly busy com-peting in USTA tourna-ments.

One Warrior fan raised a sign that had written, “Stop cheating” – al-though there is no rule that states a player must participate in every match.

“We had definitely

worked on a game plan against her and I knew exactly what I wanted to do – it was a matter of executing it,” Branham said. “My plan was to get her before she really started getting warmed up because you see after 4-1, she started hitting a bunch of winners.

“My game plan was to just hit it really deep in the court and try to get the first punch in and make her miss, and it worked for a little while – and not so much after that, but it was really ex-citing … I was hyped up all day for this match.”

While Weddington can enjoy this victory, the Warriors must stay composed to compete with Marvin Ridge next week.

“Obviously we had an extremely close match, but I think that gave us a lot of confidence because last time Sarah [Carrol] lost a close match with

Hannah [Florian] and this time she won a close match – so maybe she’ll have more confidence and maybe it won’t be such a close match in our favor next time,” Bra-nham said.

“We got confidence, but at the same time we’re definitely not over-confident because we un-derstand that they are a strong team and strong competitors – and we’re going to have to bring our A-games to beat them.”

Marvin Ridge’s Ree Ree Li rallied to win her match at No. 1 singles, but it wasn’t enough as WHS pulled out a 5-4 victory at home on Wednesday.


Senior Marcus Smith, left, has been a cornerback who also carries the ball some on offense for Parkwood, but he will play linebacker for the first time when his team travels to WHS on Friday.

Encourage your children to read the newspaper.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Tri-cia’s” daughters, ages 5 and 7, are my only nieces. A few weeks ago, I sent the 7-year-old a gift for her birthday. When I didn’t get a response, I called my sister to ask if it had ar-rived. Tricia said, “Oh, yeah, we got it. We’ve been busy and so we didn’t open it. We’ll get to it someday.” I felt terrible knowing my niece didn’t get the gift on her birthday and didn’t know I had remem-bered her.

I have since learned that my nieces weren’t given the gifts I sent last Christmas, either, which explains why I didn’t receive thank-you notes. Tri-cia told me her girls get lots of presents so she limits when they can have them. She gives them as rewards or saves them for rainy days.

The younger daughter’s birthday is coming up, and now I’m wondering what to

do. I don’t want to spend the time or money picking out something she may never see. Should I just send a card? Or call to wish her a happy birth-day?

My sister is generous with my kids. They open the gifts right away and send thank-you notes. How do I recipro-cate? -- HURT IN SAN FRAN-CISCO

DEAR HURT: By intercept-ing your gifts and presenting them as “rewards” or “saving them for a rainy day,” your sis-ter is defeating their purpose

and may be taking the credit that should be going to you. Your nieces should absolutely know that you think of them on their birthdays and other holidays.

By all means call them and send cards. And start con-tributing to a college fund for them. Although they may not appreciate right now what a thoughtful gift you are giving them, I guarantee they will in the future.

*** DEAR ABBY: I have a good

relationship with my 84-year-old mother, but it’s difficult to spend time with her because during the past year she has started hitting me. She does not appear to be angry when she does it. She’ll do it if I say something she thinks is fun-ny, when I do something nice or for no reason at all.

It hurts me physically and emotionally when she hits

me. I have asked her repeated-ly to please not do it, but she persists. I wasn’t abused as a child, so I don’t understand what’s going on. Any ideas? -- BRUISED IN SPRINGFIELD

DEAR BRUISED: I have a suspicion. I have written before that any significant change in a senior’s behav-ior or personality should be reported to his or her doctor. Your mother may need to be physically and neurologically evaluated because it’s possi-ble that she doesn’t remember that you have asked her not to hit you. My advice is to have your mother checked out, and if I’m right, you have my sym-pathy.

*** DEAR ABBY: My daughter

is divorced from my grand-son “Cody’s” father, “Mitch.” Cody is only 8, and when Mitch makes plans with him and then doesn’t show up or

even bother to call, of course Cody is sad.

I can’t stand to see my grandson hurt over and over again. How can I help him get through these difficult times? -- PROTECTIVE NANA IN RHODE ISLAND

DEAR PROTECTIVE NANA: It isn’t possible to shield your grandson entirely from his father’s neglect. How-ever, you might lessen his dis-appointment by making alter-native plans to do something with him if his father is a no-show. And if Cody has uncles, a grandfather or other male influences in his life, perhaps they could step up to the plate on some of those occasions when his father strikes out.

ASTRO-GRAPHBy Bernice Bede Osol

An opportunity of consider-able size is likely to develop in the year ahead. It might have something to do with your oc-cupation or social life, but in either case, it will lead to enor-mous success if you handle things well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- What makes you such a winner is your ability to optimistically take in stride a challenging de-velopment and turn it into an outstanding opportunity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keeping your objectives to yourself will enhance your abili-ties to develop them at your pace and to accomplish things in your way. Don’t weaken your position by discussing it with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be fearless about devot-ing your talents to something big. Enterprises or projects that are grand in scope will turn out quite lucky for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Somehow, you’ll know that personal gain might not come from standard means, alerting you to an opportunity to accomplish something quite large. You’ll find it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t hesitate to use new and unique methods about something on which you’re optimistic. Having a positive at-titude about your abilities and talents will take you where you want to go.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even endeavors not con-ducted along conventional lines can work out surprisingly well. Once you make the call, be positive about everything turn-ing out well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’re smart enough to know that if you join forces with an-other, you can enhance your purposes. Partnering with a friend will work out exactly as you had hoped.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Financial trends could be sub-jected to change, but fortunate-ly, what occurs will provide the

opportunity to offset an invest-ment that hasn’t gone well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A bright idea that pops into your head all the time will get your juices flowing, but don’t sit on it. Put it into action right away; it will prove your excite-ment wasn’t in vain.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Instinctively, you’ll know that shifting conditions are inclined to work out well for you in the long run, so it isn’t likely that a negative situation will upset you. You’ll be right, and it’ll be a great day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dis-cuss a problem with a friend when the opportunity arises. By opening up, you will discover a crystal-clear way to find a long-desired solution.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If opportunity knocks, welcome it with open arms. Chances are it will offer several fortunate ways to multiply your material interests and financial holdings.
