EAST SPENCER — A church in East Spencerheaded by a former town alderman is in fore-closure and scheduled to be put up for auction,but the pastor says the debt will be paid.

According to a notice print-ed in the Post on Sept. 30, LoveChristian Center, 102 N. LongSt., is scheduled to be sold at 11a.m. on Oct. 14. The foreclosedproperty includes the churchbuilding and another parcelacross the street.Pastor Ronald Hash said

Monday the debt had been set-tled and the property would notbe sold, but a staff member at

substitute trustee David Bingham’s office saidTuesday that a settlement had not been reached.David Hillman, attorney for lender Evangel-

ical Christian Credit Union — which made theloan in 2008, according to a deed of trust — alsosaid there has been no final agreement.“The sale is scheduled as advertised unless

an agreement is reached,” Hillman said.Hash said Tuesday he has talked with Evan-

gelical Christian Credit Union and was told thesale would be called off once the debt was paid.“We were behind, but our church worked re-

ally, really hard to raise the money,” he said.“They told us if we get caught up, they’ll stopeverything.”It’s not clear how much the church owes to

the credit union, but according to the deed oftrust, it was eligible to borrow up to $110,000on the property.Hash said he expects the church will be

caught up as soon as next week.“I can assure you the church will not be sold,”

Hash said.A former East Spencer alderman, Hash

Fellow students, friends remember A.L. Brown seniorBY SARAH CAMPBELL

KANNAPOLIS — When the song“Let’s Give Them Something to TalkAbout,” comes on the radio, people whoknew DaJon Torrence will likely cracka smile.

The tune was a fa-vorite of the 18-year-old A.L. Brown HighSchool senior, whodied Monday after his1990 Honda crossedthe center line, strik-ing another car onMooresville Road.“He was always

singing,” A.L. Brownsenior Andrew Leslie

said. A linebacker for the Wonders foot-

ball team, Torrence was known for his

cheerful disposition and laid back per-sonality. Fellow defensive players Leslie,

Gerald Holt and Dominique Phifer re-membered their teammate and friend.“DaJon was the kind of person that

you could go to if you were having abad day,” junior Holt said. “He wouldalways make you smile.”Laughter is the first word that

comes to mind when senior Phiferthinks of Torrence. “It didn’t matter who you were,

chances are if you were around DaJonyou were laughing,” Phifer said. “Weneed more people like that.”“He was everybody’s friend,” Leslie

added. • • •

Torrence, who hoped to continue hiseducation at North Carolina A&T nextyear, also served as a role model to his16-year-old brother, Darius Willis.

“Wherever DaJon was, Darius wasright behind him,” Leslie said. “We livein Kannapolis, so we’re going to runinto some bad kids, but DaJon was notone of them. “I never saw him at the wrong place

or around the wrong things.”Willis, who also played for the Won-

ders, has the support of his fellowteammates. “I feel that everybody on the foot-

ball team is his brother,” Leslie said.“But none of us can replace what Da-Jon did for Darius. “Phifer agreed. “I don’t think anybody can fill those

shoes,” he said. “Those are big shoesto fill.”

Historic Salisbury is a spring chicken com-pared to its British namesake, but delegatesfrom England say their younger sister city canstill teach them a thing or two.“Although we may be over 750 years old,

we’re not too old to learn new tricks,” the Hon.Jeremy Nettle said.Nettle, his wife Susan and the Hon. Bobbi

Chettleburgh are visiting for nine days from

Salisbury, England, the official sister city toSalisbury, N.C.Because of a profound change to the local

government structure in England, the coun-cillors were eager to learn how the city of Sal-isbury collaborates and interacts with the com-munity.“We want to engage more, like yourself, and

engage with community,” Nettle told the CityCouncil.

Nine Rowan-Salisbury Board of Educationcandidates answered questions on topics rang-ing from discipline to redistricting Tuesday dur-ing a forum at Catawba College.The forum, sponsored by Catawba College,

the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce andthe Salisbury Post, was moderated by Dr.Michael Bitzer, associate professor of politicalscience and history at Catawba.Candidates competing for three seats on the

board were given two minutes to answer eachquestion, with each seat receiving a differentset of questions. Richard Miller, W.F. Owens and Craig Pierce

are facing off for the North seat, currently heldby Karen Carpenter. Incumbent Kay Wright Norman is taking on

newcomers Donna Ferguson Hogue and EricTrail for the West seat.Mike Caskey, L.A. Overcash and Troy Rush-

ing Jr. are seeking the South seat, currently held

by Patty Williams.The hot button issue of the night revolved

around the controversy surrounding redis-tricting.North area candidates were asked to pro-

vide possible solutions to the declining enroll-ment at North Rowan High School. Pierce said the school should focus on pro-

viding a more varied curriculum. “What we need to do at North Rowan is

change its format ... and try to educate theother 85 percent of students who are not go-ing to go on to higher education,” he said. “Ithink the way to do that is to implement a ca-reer development center that would enablestudents at the freshman level to decide on acourse of study.”Owens said the populations of the high

schools should be redistributed. “At one point we had five high schools, we

now have six,” he said. “Obviously, thereneeds to be a redrawing of attendance lines

because of the addition ofCarson High School.”Miller said the school

board needs evaluate theproblem at North Rowan onlarger scale. “We need to look at the

system in entirety,” he said.“I’m unwilling to talk aboutNorth Rowan without talkingabout the entire system.”

• • • South candidates were

asked if they agree with theschool board’s decision inJanuary not to pursue redis-

tricting, opt-ing instead toput moneyinto NorthRowan to at-tract new stu-dents. Rushing

said he does-n’t agree withthe decisionto benefit one

school. “If it’s just to improve en-

rollment at one school, what’sgoing to happen five yearsfrom now when there’s aproblem with enrollment atanother school,” he said. “Itjust seems like to me you’resetting up an endless cycle.”Caskey said he agrees with

the board’s decision to tableredistricting right now, butexpects it to become in-

evitable in the next fouryears. “There’s no way around it,

some people are going to beangry and some are going tobe happy,” he said. “Eventual-

ly, we’re justgoing to haveto do it, that’swhy theyelect us.” Overcash

said he dealtwith redis-tricting whenhe served onthe boardpreviously.

“Redistricting is no fun foranybody,” he said. “And thepeople against it are the par-ents not the children.”

• • • When asked if they expect

the issue of redistricting toresurface, all three Northarea candidates agreed that itwill be an issue in the near fu-

ture. Miller said

the schoolboard has anobligation toreview thedata aboutstudent dis-tribution anddo somethingwith it. “We need

to let the community knowthat while you may be upsetthat your child is beingmoved, you can be assuredthat the quality of education

they receive where they arereassigned in Rowan-Salis-bury will be no less ..,” hesaid. “We need to take actionto create a school system thatprovides equity for every stu-

dent and notjust a few.”Owens

said the dis-trict shouldwork to makeevery schoolas attractiveas possible. “We need

to make allthe schools as

equal as possible so that therewill not be a school that isavoided in the system,” hesaid. Pierce said students

should attend the school near-est to where they live. “I don’t think redistrict-

ing is the answer or the mag-ic pill that is going to make

everythinggreat in allthe schools,”he said. “Weneed to workhard to de-velop theschools andquit trying toredo it sim-ply by bus-ing chil-

dren.”• • •

The North seat candidateswere asked what policies theschool board could enact tohelp maintain discipline in theclassroom. Owens said the school sys-

tem needs be stricter whendealing with students whomisbehave. “We need to do some

counseling and if that does-n’t work, we need to startwith a three day suspension,then a five day suspensionand the third time you’re outfor good,” he said. “We needto keep children in the schoolsystem that want to learn andtake those that do not and in-terfere with learning and putthem out.” Pierce opposed Owens’

notion of sending studentshome. “Our job is to educate

them,” he said. Instead, Pierce said he

would like to see more com-munication between parentsand schools. “It all comes back to the

accountability of the par-ents,” he said. “They have tobe more accountable for thechild that they send toschool.”Miller said he agreed with

Pierce, but would like to takehis ideas a step further to in-

clude community organiza-tions. “We need greater coopera-

tion and interaction, not justwith parents but with the en-tire community,” he said. “In

today’s socie-ty, it’s not asolo event toraise a child.”

• • • Candidates

for the Southseat answereda questionabout how theschool boardshould ad-

dress the gap in achievementand results on standardizedtests at various schools inRowan County, citing fiveschools have been given prior-ity status due to performance. Overcash said each school

should be looked at on an indi-vidual basis to pinpoint prob-lem areas and make changes.

“I don’tfeel like weneed to micro-manage everyposition in theschool sys-tem,” he said.“But we doneed to hireq u a l i f i e dt e a c h e r s ,principals and

administrators and let them dothe job that needs to be done.”Rushing said he would like

to see a study done that looksat different aspects involved inperformance. “I think the board needs to

take a real proactive attitudeby establishing a committeethat would be active in tryingto pursue an answer for thoseschools and the adminstra-tion.” Caskey said the focus

should shift to tailoring learn-ing to the specific needs of thestudents and getting parentsinvolved. “You have to look at finding

ways to get their attention,” hesaid. “Children nowadays, Ican tell from my kids, that theway I learned things and theway they learned things aredifferent.”

• • • Candidates for the South

seat were asked how theywould work with the RowanCounty Commissioners toidentify areas of fundingneeds and where reductionscan be made. Caskey said he feels like

the commissioners would bewilling to provide more fund-ing if the board provides aclear vision of where it willbe used. “I think they’re of the

mindset that they don’t want

to give us big blank checks,”he said. Overcash said funding will

always be an issue, but work-ing together as a collective

unit wouldhelp stream-line efforts. “They get

the moneyfrom thestate andcounty andit’s their jobto distributeit,” he said.“It’s our jobto work with

them.”Rushing said communica-

tion is the key to dealing withthe commissioners.“Everybody is having to

face cuts and funding issuesare not going to go away,” hesaid. “We’ve got to communi-cate, if that means I’m going

to have to gosit down withcounty com-missionersover andover again.”

• • • West area

candidateswere asked ifthe districtshould focus

on improving SAT scores,which lagged behind bothstate and national averages.Trail said the scores don’t

necessarily give an accuratedepiction of how proficient stu-dent are.“I know that as a former

high school teacher we pushedevery single student to take theSAT, so if we push every sin-gle student to take the SAT,whether they’re going to col-lege or not, of course ourscores are going to look horri-ble.” he said. Trail said he would encour-

age the school board to take alook at the scores of studentswho are actually planning to goto college and use the data tocompare “apples to apples.”Hogue agreed with Trail,

stating if students aren’t plan-ning to college they shouldn’tbe pushed to take the exam, sothat average scores aren’tskewed “There’s always been con-

troversy over standardizedtesting anyway, regardless ofwhat standardized test it is be-cause of the populations thatthe tests are given to,” she said. Norman said although

every student may not be plan-ning to attend college, everystudent should be equippedwith the same level of knowl-edge. “I think our issue should al-

ways be to provide a world-class education with the high-est standards possible, with arigorous curriculum,” she said.

The city of Salisburymight pursue a new federalgrant that could provide upto $30 million to transformthe West End community.

“The potential for what itcould do for the city is justincredible,” Mayor SusanKluttz said at Tuesday’s CityCouncil meeting.

City staff, the SalisburyHousing Authority and the

Salisbury Community Devel-opment Corporation plan toapply for a Choice Neighbor-hood Grant. Council set apublic hearing for Oct. 19 toconsider pursuing the initialplanning grant, up to$250,000.

If awarded, the city andits partners would spend ayear preparing to apply foran implementation grant thatcould reach $30 million.

The crux of the projectwould be demolishing and re-

building a 70-unit publichousing project called CivicPark Apartments.

City Planning DirectorJoe Morris said the apart-ment complex, built in 1952,is obsolete. The grant urgescommunities to build acces-sible, sustainable housingthat includes people frommixed income levels, not justthose living in extremepoverty, Morris said.

“It’s a more holistic ap-proach to neighborhood plan-ning,” he said.

If presented correctly, thevision for transforming theWest End could mean a “po-tential windfall of money”for the Salisbury HousingAuthority and its partners,said Sam Foust, new execu-tive director for the agency.

U.S. Rep. Mel Watt sug-gested to Foust the West Endwould make an excellentcandidate for the new grant,offered through the U.S. De-partment of Housing and Ur-ban Development, Morrissaid.

Civic Park residentswould have interim housingwhile the apartments are de-molished and rebuilt, Morrissaid. They would have thefirst opportunity to moveback into a new unit, he said.

While the city will set pa-rameters, West End resi-dents will create the plan totransform their community,Morris said.

The West End is general-ly defined as Caldwell Streetto Brenner Avenue, boundedby West Innes Street to the

north and following OldPlank Road, Morris said.

The grant focuses on pro-viding access to amenitiesand services, access to edu-cation, sustainable neighbor-hood planning, walkability,cost savings through energyefficiency and access tobroadband technology.

The West End project hasthe potential to incorporateall areas, including broad-band, as the city prepares tolaunch a fiber-optic utilitythis month, Morris said.

The Salisbury HousingAuthority and city staff havestarted meeting with resi-dents and neighborhoodgroups.

“All the feedback we’regetting so far has been verypositive, and people are look-

ing forward to changing thatneighborhood,” Morris said.

The new Carpenter’s Cor-ner, a public housing projectnear the Civic Center, couldserve as a model, he said.Higher-quality homes facethe street with fenceablespace, he said.

“They don’t look institu-tional,” he said.

If awarded, the grantwould pay for improvementsbeyond the Civic Park Apart-ments and into the surround-ing neighborhoods, Foustsaid.

Partners in the planningprocess could include the VAMedical Center, LivingstoneCollege and Headstart, hesaid.

County staff met with abouttwo dozen farmers and other lo-cal residents Tuesday morningto hear their input about an in-crease in present-use tax val-ues.

The farmers present agreedthat proposed new values werea fair estimation.

Farmland rent costs havegone up slightly in the Pied-mont, according to a recent sur-vey conducted by the NorthCarolina Department of Agri-cultural and Consumer Servic-es.

“We wanted to get inputfrom people,” Rowland said.“They say rents went up. That’swhat we want to ask you about.”

Rowland gave out a packetto all in attendance with aver-age per-acre rental costs for dif-ferent types of land. The aver-age rents for each area of thestate were used to calculate thetax value of one acre of land forfiscal year 2011.

Commissioners Jon Barberand Raymond Coltrain, whoeach are involved in agricultureapart from their duties as com-missioners, were in attendanceTuesday.

“The sources of informationused to build the state schedule

is not necessarily reflective ofwhat’s happening in RowanCounty,” Barber said.

The Present-Use Value Pro-gram allows certain parcels offarmland to be taxed on a landvalue much lower than marketvalue.

For the Piedmont, the aver-age rent was calculated at$56.20 to $38.30 for agricultur-al land of average to best qual-ity. This converts to a tax valueof $590 to $865 per acre — upfrom $480 to $705 per acre in2007.

Rowland said the rates cal-culated by the county tax officewill fall between these numbersbut weigh heavily toward theaverage land quality value.

“Do you feel okay with rentsof $38-$40 an acre?” Rowlandasked the group.

One farmer responded byasking what the estimate was in2007, and Rowland respondedwith $34-36. The farmers in theroom did not disagree with thevalues presented.

Horticultural land rentswere calculated from $52.80 to$81.20 for average to best qual-ity land, for a tax value of $810to $1,250. This is up from $580to $845 in 2007. Forestry andpasture land also have separate-ly calculated values.

One Mount Ulla landowner,

James Rollans, said he bothrents land to farm and rents outland to others. He said he thinksRowan should follow the exam-ple of several surroundingcounties and value land basedon soil quality classes.

“A fair and equitable taxschedule ought to be based onsoil productivity,” he said.

After the meeting, Rowlandsaid the county office doesn’thave the resources to makethose calculations, but farmerscan bring in their own data forstaff to use.

“If someone wants their landassigned a value based on thesoil breakdown, then they canprovide us with that completeand valid information, and wewill try to assign values basedon that,” Rowland said. “Rightnow, we don’t have the abilityto do that for every parcel.”

He said the tax office willseek to have the software need-ed to do so by the next revalua-tion, scheduled for 2015.

Rowland said the meetingconfirmed that the state’s rentcosts for the Piedmont are con-sistent with those in RowanCounty, and his office will usethose numbers to assign valuesto farmland in the county.

Many questions from farm-ers Tuesday were about thePresent-Use Value Program

and the auditing system thecounty uses to keep track offarmland. The program usesownership, acreage, income andmanagement requirements toidentify eligible commercialfarmers. Rollans' wife, Marian,asked if farmers who can nolonger work their land are in-cluded in the program.

“There are lot of farmers inRowan County who are gettingolder,” she said. “They have afarm, so are they not farmers ifthey have to rent things out? ...Are they not commercial pro-duction folks if they rent outtheir land?”

Rowland said the require-ments are designed to identifythose trying to earn a livingfrom their property, and as longas the land is producing, it does-n’t matter if the landowner isthe one working it.

“Commercial use applies tohow the land is being produced,not the ownership,” he said.

Marian then asked whatwould happen to farmland thatneeds to stay fallow for a cou-ple of years, and Rowlandreplied that if a farmer notifiesthe county why there is no in-come on that land, there should-n’t be a problem, and the coun-ty will check with the landown-

CHINA GROVE — The town board agreed to be-gin the demolition process on a home if the ownerhas not shown significant attempts to correct itsstate of disrepair within 30 days.

The homeowner, Leon Hubbard, addressed theboard Tuesday saying he’s been unable to work onthe house because labor is so costly and he had beenbedridden following back surgery last year. Hub-bard rents a home in Mount Ulla, but says he wantsthe opportunity to fix the home he owns.

It’s been 25 years since anyone has lived in theCherry Street home and code enforcemnt officerTony Cline said the house is dilapidated and is sub-standard.

The bathroom floor has collapsed, the roof leaksand the water was being collected by a kiddie poolon the floor and some ceiling tiles have fallen dueto leaks.

The house has not had water for years, but stillhas electric, Hubbard said.

Cline told the board he’s made attempts for atleast five years to contact Hubbard to “motivate”him to mow the lawn and work toward repairs. Thetown has paid contractors to mow the property onseveral occasions. A notice for high grass was sentrecently. Neighbors continue to complain about thecondition of the property.

A hearing was held May 10 and Hubbard wassent notice, but did not show. A deadline to repairor demolish was set Aug. 10, which meets the 90day minimum housing code requirement. A finalinspection of the property was done Aug. 16, whichHubbard allowed, eventually.

Cline said no progress or attemps are evident.Hubbard has spoken with Cline and Town Manag-er Bill Pless on several occasions, but has yet tosubmit a plan of action.

Representatives with aRaleigh-based group that ad-vocates for people with dis-abilities spent a couple ofhours Tuesday at the RowanPublic Library discussing how

it can bestserve clientsin Rowan andthroughoutthe state.The non-

profit Dis-ability RightsNorth Caroli-na protectsthe legalrights of peo-

ple with disabilities throughindividual and systems advo-cacy. Representatives are trav-

eling the state to determinewhat people with disabilitiesneed to live successfully intheir community, said Execu-tive Director Vicki Smith.“We want to hear what

they have to say,” she said.The agency provides legal

services for people with de-velopmental or intellectualdisabilities; people with a

traumatic brain injury; peo-ple who have a psychiatric oremotional disability; peoplewho are a patient in a statepsychiatric hospital; and thosewho have a physical, learningor sensory disability.By the end of this month,

representatives will havetraveled to 17 cities andtowns.Many who attended Tues-

day’s session were either lo-cal advocacy leaders or peo-ple concerned about therights of the disabled, as wellas those who’ve had personalcontact with someone who hasbeen discriminated againstbecause of a disability.Currently, 20 percent of

North Carolina residents havea disability, Smith shared withthe group.More than a dozen people

sat in groups and discussed aseries of questions the agencyhopes will help as it decideswhere to direct services. Theinformation gathered fromthe sessions across the statewill also be shared with poli-cymakers.One of the questions was,

what does the agency stillneed to do?

Answers participants gaveincluded: Continue to be avoice for the people; adver-tise more about the existenceof the agency; and eliminatethe one-size-fits-all mentali-ty when responding toclients.Many said if the agency

could do just one thing be-cause of resources, it shouldreinstate some services tak-en away because of budgetcuts or other reasons andmake needed services avail-able in all communities.The agency was designat-

ed by the governor in 2007 toensure the rights of peoplewith disabilities whetherthrough advocacy or achange in the system.The agency is formerly

Carolina Legal Assistanceand is part of a national sys-tem of federally mandated in-dependent disability agen-cies. The agency does receivesome federal funds but iscompletely independent ofstate government.For more information

Rufty-Holmes Senior Cen-ter will host a communityplanning forum Friday to re-view the needs of older anddisabled adults.The Rowan Life Improve-

ment for Everyone SteeringCommittee will conduct the fo-rum at Rufty-Holmes SeniorCenter, 1120 S. Martin LutherKing Jr. Ave. It is open to the public.Rowan Life Improvement

for Everyone was establishedin 2004 to bring togetheragency representatives whowork locally with older anddisabled adults for coopera-tive planning and service co-ordination. The group held a similar fo-

rum in 2005 with leadership

from the Rowan County Unit-ed Way and the CentralinaArea Agency on Aging. Thatforum produced a report out-lining strategies for improv-ing services in the areas ofmedical care, transportation,housing, access to informationon services and advocacy.The meeting will begin

with a review of the accom-plishments made since the2005 report. There will also bea report on the findings of aconsumer survey completedby 600 local older and disabledadults during July and Augustof this year.Following the background

review, those in attendancewill break into smaller groupsto discuss current needs and

priorities for the Life Im-provement for Everyone or-ganization to emphasize in thenext five years.Registration for the event

begins at 8:30 a.m. the day ofthe forum. The meeting willstart at 9 a.m. and conclude bynoon.Representatives from local

human service agencies thatwork with older and disabledadults have been invited to at-tend. Older and disabled adults

who would like to share theirconcerns and opinions are alsoinvited to attend.For more information and

to pre-register, contact Rufty-Holmes Senior Center at 704-216-7714.

Rufty-Holmes to host planning forum

The expected cost to re-move the structure and all thetrash and debris will cost$4,500, which is the value ofthe home, minus the acreage.“I can do most of the work

myself. It’s all I’ve got left,”Hubbard told the board.He said the first he heard

of it all was in May when hereceived a registered letter,but he was unclear of whatthe town wanted him to do.He asked if he needed per-mits or could he just start re-pairs?“There hasn’t been move-

ment on this house. He’s nev-er asked us about a startingpoint,” Pless said.

Councilman Mike Uprightasked if the owner knew howmuch it would cost him to re-pair the home.Hubbard said for the roof

alone about $1,800. He said hedidn’t want to start repairsand the town would just comein a few months later to tearit down.The board asked when

Hubbard was notified.“Communication began at

the hearing which you didn’tcome to,” Cline said.Hubbard said he didn’t

know about the hearing. Clinesaid it was in the registeredletter he received.Upright asked if the town

could set milestones for Hub-bard that says by 30 days hemust have so much complet-ed and then the board could

revisit the issue.Mayor Don Bringle said he

questioned Hubbard’s abilityto do “what’s necessary”.“My first thought was to

extend it to 30 days to see thatyou have shown evidence ofeffort, but I looked at the trailof paperwork that shows youdid not and have not done thefirst thing,” Bringle said.“I’m not for giving you 60

or 90 days,” he said.Bringle said it was up to

the board, but Hubbard need-ed to show a reasonable effortwhen they revisit the issue.The board agreed to hold

off on demolition if Hubbardcould show he’s making re-pairs.

RALEIGH (AP) — Offi-cials were assessing damagefrom rain and floods Tues-day in eastern North Caroli-na, even as some areas con-tinued to face high water un-likely to recede before theweekend.Concerns ranged from

lost homes and wrecked busi-nesses to potentially harmfuleffects on farmers’ crops.With damage spread across19 counties, the full scopewon’t be known until the endof the week at the earliest.“After ’99, nobody thought

it would happen again intheir lifetime, and now 11years later we’re reliving thesame thing,’ said VanceboroMayor Chad Braxton, refer-ring to Hurricane Floyd in1999.Waters in Vanceboro were

still high, and Braxton said itwill be about two days beforethe town knows for sure howmany homes and businesseswere damaged. But officialsthere know that roughly 26homes, including 14 mobilehomes from a park on theoutskirts of town, are totallosses already.The Red Cross was still

operating shelters Tuesdayin Washington, Windsor andNew Bern, said regional di-rector Lynwood Roberson,although he didn’t have a tal-ly of overnight occupants.The area Red Cross hasserved 632 meals and morethan 3,500 snacks to people

displaced by the flooding, butsay demand is beginning todrop off.“The waters are receding

a little bit now, thank thegood Lord,” Roberson said.The falling waters are al-

lowing state and federalteams to begin estimatinghow much damage has beendone since last week, whenmore than 20 inches of rainfell across most of the east-ern part of the state.In some places, the water

has barely receded, leavingresidents still vulnerable tohigh water. State officials ex-pect the Northeast Cape FearRiver at Burgaw, the NeuseRiver at Kinston and theLumber River at Lumbertonto remain at flood stage un-til Friday or Saturday, saidJulia Jarema, spokeswomanfor the state Division ofEmergency Management.“The river crested yester-

day, but it’s only receded halfa foot since then,” said Tom-my Batson, a deputy firemarshal with the PenderCounty Department of Emer-gency Management in Bur-gaw. “There’s still a lot ofstuff that’s just inundated.”State officials are also

concerned about potentiallosses to farmers in the re-gion, where some fields satunder a foot or more of wa-ter.“The weather from here

on out will dictate how se-vere the damage is, how

quickly the fields dry andhow quickly the harvests(can be brought in),” saidAgriculture CommissionerSteve Troxler at a Council ofState meeting. “It just provesthat no matter how muchtechnology we have and goodproduction practices wehave, we’re always at thewhim of the weather. Andthat’s what farmers have todeal with.”Troxler is particularly

worried about damage to cot-ton, soybeans, sweet pota-toes, peanuts and any tobac-co still left in the fields.Gov. Beverly Perdue, who

traveled to flooded areasover the weekend, said sheexpects the federal govern-ment will come through withmoney to help recovery ef-forts.“It’s just really bad all

over the place,” she said.“Windsor is just sad.”Windsor, the Bertie Coun-

ty seat, saw some of theworst flooding in the state,with more than 200 homesand businesses damaged. Asresidents worked to clean up,though, many were trying tofind some positive aspects tothe disaster.“At least it didn’t stay

around as long as Floyd,”said Beverly Bracy as shehelped clean up Joe’s Serv-ice Center, a gas stationowned by her father. “Itcame in fast and it went outfast.”

NC begins to survey damagefrom rain and floods

RALEIGH (AP) — A con-servative-leaning group hasplunged into North Carolina’sGeneral Assembly races,sending out mailers question-ing the votes of two top De-mocrats that raised taxes lastyear.Civitas Action, which calls

itself an education group, hassent out a pair of campaignmailers in recent days target-ing Democratic House Speak-er Joe Hackney and Senateleader Marc Basnight, accord-ing to Francis DeLuca, presi-dent of its parent group, theJohn W. Pope Civitas Institute.DeLuca said Tuesday that

the mailers by non-profit Civ-itas Action mark the first timethe group has entered into di-rect voter education. He saidthe effort wasn’t coordinatedwith any candidates or a polit-ical party.The report shows Civitas

Action has much more moneyat its disposal. The group hasreceived nearly $265,000 sinceAug. 2, more than 70 percentof which came from VarietyStores Inc., the businessowned by the family of Repub-lican activist Art Pope.“I would plan on us doing

other mailers,” DeLuca said.Campaign finance docu-

ments filed last week at theState Board of Electionsshowed Civitas Group onlyspent $5,750 on the mailers.DeLuca said several thousandmailers were sent to house-holds in Basnight and Hack-ney’s districts.In one mailer, a picture of

Basnight, D-Dare, is imposedin the middle of a fictional $1billion dollar bill — a refer-ence to the sales and incometax increases — each expect-ed to last two years — ap-proved in the 2009 budget tohelp narrow a budget gap.“With unemployment at a 30-year high in North Carolina,why would billion-dollar MarcBasnight do that to us?”Basnight and other Democ-

rats have said they needed tomake tough choices with a2009 budget gap of more than$4 billion that included spend-ing cuts and additional rev-enues.The mailers are “a distor-

tion because we had a bal-anced package,” said Hack-ney, D-Orange. “The cuts farexceeded the temporary taxincreases.”The group’s effort, first re-

ported by The Insider, anewsletter that covers stategovernment, is the latest ef-fort by Pope to influence thelegislative elections in a yearwhen Republican hopes arehigh to take control of theHouse, Senate, or both.Pope’s Variety Stores gave

$100,000 to Real Jobs NC, agroup that has been targetingDemocratic incumbents withcritical mailers and televisionads. The Civitas Institute,which focuses on state policyissues, received more than$1.6 million from a Pope fam-ily foundation for the 12months ending June 30, 2009,according to the institute’sIRS filing.

NC group sends mailers onlegislative candidates

RALEIGH (AP) — NorthCarolina’s House Republicanleader said Tuesday he haswarned a fellow GOP lawmak-er after the colleague sent ane-mail that contained gayslurs.Rep. Larry Brown, R-

Forsyth, replied all to an e-maillast week commenting on anaward Democratic SpeakerJoe Hackney is receiving froma gay rights organization.Brown’s e-mail said: “I hope allthe queers are thrilled to seehim. I am sure there will be acouple legislative fruitloopsthere in the audience.”Brown, a third-term House

member from Kernersville,didn’t return a phone call fromThe Associated Press. He de-clined to comment on the e-mail to the Winston-SalemJournal.House Minority Leader

Paul Stam, R-Wake, confirmedBrown wrote the response.Stam said he wrote to

Brown that he doesn’t encour-age the language in public orprivate.“I don’t reprimand people

for private speech. That’s notmy job. I’m not the speech po-lice,” Stam said. But he calledthe language “unfortunate.”A foundation for Equality

North Carolina, the gay rightsgroup, is giving its legislativeleadership award to Hackneyat its annual Equality Gala onNov. 13.Equality North Carolina ex-

ecutive director Ian Palmquistsaid he was pleased to hearStam’s statements but saidBrown should publicly apolo-gize and other Republicanswho received the letter —mostly House incumbents —should speak out against thelanguage, too.The group is honoring

Hackney, of Orange County,in part for his support of a 2009school anti-bullying law itssupporters argue ensure gayand lesbian students are pro-tected. He’s also blocked re-peatedly since becomingspeaker in 2007 an effort bydozens of Republicans to placea constitutional amendment onthe ballot that would prohibitgay marriage.

NC House member’s e-mailwith gay slur draws ire

BY BRENDA ZIMMERMANFor The Salisbury Post

grew up in a homewhere biscuits werestandard fare atleast once a day.Breakfast on theweekends meant

light fluffy biscuits withhoney and butter orhomemade jam. Suppermight be pork chops andall the trimmings includ-ing hot biscuits smoth-ered in brown gravy.And what would Sun-day’s fried chicken bewithout biscuits? As longas there were biscuits onthe table, dessert wasnever an issue. Theywere a great finish to ameal with sweetenedfruit and cold milk.Years ago, at Luther-

an Home, an activity wasplanned to bake home-made biscuits. The eventwas arranged around theidea that staff, volun-teers and family mem-bers would soon be put-ting up homemade jamsand jellies for the localfair. What better way totaste all the preservedflavors of summer thanon a hot biscuit drippingwith butter! During the days of

planning, there was agreat deal of reminiscingabout baking and cook-ing. Residents wanted toknow who was going tomake the biscuits, and Idid not bat an eye when Iinformed them that I hadvolunteered for that job.I told them how I hadcome from a long line ofbiscuit makers; my moth-er, both my grandmoth-ers and several other rel-atives were all known fortheir baking skills.“Made homemade bis-

cuits nearly every day ofmy married life,” Ibragged. Along with allthat cooking training, mymama also told me“pride goeth before afall.” The big day came. Our

kitchen had a cart pre-pared for me with all theingredients and utensils Ineeded: flour, butter-milk, shortening (lardwas unacceptable),sifter, apron, hairnet andthe biggest rolling pin Ihad ever seen. Residentshad gathered around towatch. “Oh I never meas-ure,” I said. “I know howit looks and feels.” Istarted with 10 pounds offlour and got to work onthe biggest batch of bis-cuits I had ever made. Things moved along

really well. The first trywent into the ovens whileI started on the next one.The aroma from thekitchen was delicious —and that was preciselywhere delicious ended! The first tray came

out and staff membersstarted passing out thehot biscuits. Residentsbegan slathering on thebutter they had churnedearlier in the day. I tooka break to try my wares.I picked up a biscuit

that must have weighedfive pounds! I noticed ithad a bit a of a gray tintto it and was really flat. Iknew something hadgone wrong. It didn’t take long to

determine that thekitchen staff had givenme plain flour instead ofself-rising. While I blushed in em-

barrassment, residentDorothy Clark said,“Honey, they aren’t thatbad.” This was as she

tried to chew one to theside of her mouth to get abetter grip. Another resi-dent was tapping his onthe edge of the table try-ing to decide if it wasworth risking his teeth. And the all-time clas-

sic statement from thatday came from RalphDeal, “I understand nowwhy you are a singlewoman.”I redeemed myself at

a later date. Everyonehad a major laugh at myexpense that Christmaswhen Santa brought me aspecial gift to open. Itwas a cute little recipebox with no less than 25different recipes forhomemade biscuits! My favorite was

Whomp-Em Biscuits:You buy the can, whomp‘em on the side of thecounter and follow thedirections.

hen Harry Parrishbegins to tell thestory of the shad-

owbox on his wall, his eyesstart twinkling. I doubtthere is any other 93-year-old that still has the firstbiscuit his wife ever madehim, pneumatically sealedand saved under glass. But Harry does.“I remember the very

first time I saw her. Shewas wearing an aqua skirtwith a yellow blouse. Shehad on brown shoes.”

Seems this young lady wasthe new roommate of thegirl he was courting at thetime.He defined his girl-

friend as a buxom sort.“Wouldn’t do to say some-one was fat or heavy, butshe was buxom.” She livedin Greensboro and theyhad been dating for awhile. She told him shehad a new roommatewhose last name was alsoParrish. They were goingto a ball game and Harrysaid bring her along. “I wanted to see what

another Parrish looked

like,” he said.Well, the “other Par-

rish” turned out to be thelove of Harry’s life. Harryand Ollie married twoyears after that first en-counter and started whatturned out to be almost 50years of wedded bliss. The newlyweds lived in

a room they rented Theyate in the kitchen with thelandlady, Clara Briggs.Harry explained to Olliethat he was a “biscuitman” — he loved biscuitsand could eat them everyday. Ollie, however,“could not boil water.” So

his new bride, facing mul-tiple culinary challenges,had Harry teach her howto make biscuits just likehis mother did. For three

weeks he gave lessons onhow to mix them up, rollthem out, cut them andbake them. “My mother had a tin

can that had been boughtwith peas in it that sheused for a biscuit cutter.

Brenda Zimmerman samples a biscuit last Tuesday at the Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks. residents churnedbutter in the morning and tried biscuits from various local restaurants in the afternoon.

This orange juice can biscuit cutter originally belong-ing to Brenda Zimmerman’s mother has been a cher-ished item in Brenda’s family for many years.

BISCUITSI


hen I wasgrowing up,one of my firstcooking experi-

ences with my motherwas cutting out biscuits.She made them, rolledthem and then allowedme to cut them and placethem on the baking sheetwhile she tended to oth-er things. I don’t knowhow old I was, but I doremember I had to standon tip-toe on the samelittle step stool that Iused to get up to thebathroom sink for brush-ing my teeth.As I got older and

started cooking more, Iasked Mom why she hadan old beat-up can for abiscuit cutter instead ofMary McCoy was one of the judges to pick the best

biscuit during the big biscuit day at Lutheran Home atTrinity Oaks. Lewis Brendle and Lydia Foy were theother two judges.

The biscuit cutter

a real cutter. Seems the canwas from the first trip to thegrocery store that she andmy dad made after theywere married.

My dad could not get overthe fact that they spent near-ly a week’s pay that first tripand had almost nothing inthe house to eat. In the daysbefore mega-stores, the gro-cery store was the place tobuy cleaners, paper goods,stationery and all sorts ofthings. All they had forbreakfast the first morningwhen he left their little nestfor work was orange juice.

The small can tells itsage. There was no paper la-bel, just nice enamel art-work in bright green and or-ange: “Libby’s Frozen Or-ange Juice Concentrate.” Ihave seen the graphics inold magazines and I remem-ber the jingle: “If it’s Lib-by’s Libby’s Libby’s on theLabel, Label, Label.” Withone end cut away and asmall hole pierced in the op-posite end, the can became apermanent resident of mymother’s flour canister in1953.

When I got married Iasked for the biscuit cutteras a wedding gift. When mymother downsized andmoved, I inquired if she stillneeded it. At a point when Imoved into a new house, Iasked for it as a housewarm-ing gift.

Each time over the years

the answer was a joking,“Over my dead body. Whatwould I cut biscuits with?”For this particular mar-velous cook, it was as essen-tial to her as her foodprocessor and toaster oven.

I cannot imagine howmany biscuits that can cutover the years. In addition,it cut party sandwiches, sug-ar cookies and ginger snaps.At Christmas it cut paper-thin Moravian cookies. Af-ter I was married and had ahome of my own, I oftenhelped with meals in mymother’s kitchen or wewould get together to bakefor the holidays. The juicecan was always tucked inthe flour canister when wecleaned up. Sometimes Iwould tease her and pretendto stick it in my basket ofcookies. She would raise aneyebrow and point to thecanister and say, “Not yet.”

Many years went by. Iwatched my own daughterin my mother’s kitchenlearning to cut biscuits witha Grandma’s Helper apronon. She, too, learned thatthe cutter went back in thecanister.

On a desperately coldFebruary day, I had the taskof cleaning out my mother’skitchen. The previous Au-gust, at the ridiculouslyyoung age of 54, she haddied in an accident. I alreadyhad most of the householditems I wanted, but I stillneeded to go through therest of her things. I startedon the upper cabinets. For awoman who had “quit smok-ing,” the nooks and cranniesrevealed a lot of stashed cig-

arette packs with a lightertucked in them!

High on the last shelf washer old canister set. I had tostretch and pull to reachthem. When I finally gotthem, I opened the flour can-ister. There was MY biscuitcutter. The friends that werehelping with this difficulttask thought that I had sure-ly become overwhelmedwith grief as the tears start-ed to flow. I could almosthear my mother telling meto put it back in the canister!The tears were a cascade ofmemories, conversations,recipes and kitchens. A life-time of family gatheringsand memories could bepoured from that little metalcylinder. I was saddened bythe circumstances but wasdelighted to see this littlekeepsake had not been dis-carded along the way.

As an only child, I re-ceived many things whenmy mother died. A fewsmall but precious piecesof jewelry, some treasuredbooks, family items suchas the cedar chest. None,and I mean not one, wereany more precious or heldany more meaning for methan that lowly juice can.

The juice can sits in mykitchen with the sugarbowl. This is where Imake my coffee everymorning. And every morn-ing, I remember my moth-er’s smile as she busiedherself with cooking andrunning her home. I thankGod every time I think ofher for allowing me toshare her short life withher.

Some people had store-bought cutters, or just‘choked’ them off the mainball of dough between herthumb and forefinger andflattened them a bit as theyput them on the bakingsheet.” Someone bought Olliea real biscuit cutter.

On the first day that Olliewas on her own to make thebiscuits, she did everythingexactly as Harry had shownher.

“That biscuit there in theframe was the size they cameout,” Harry says. The smallwad of bread, memorializedwith a brass plaque dated1949, is no more than 2 inchesacross and as flat as flat canbe. “I tried to eat it. I reallydid. It was as hard as a brick.All of them were.”

Harry made a fuss overthe biscuits and Ollie thoughthe was enjoying them. Herfirst attempt at biscuit mak-ing was a success! At least itwas a success as long as Har-ry kept singing her praiseswhile secretly flushing thebiscuits down the commode

one by one! “I was just hoping they

wouldn’t stop it up!” he said. Ollie had been so excited

to try the biscuit-making ven-ture on her own. But evenwith the lessons, she had nomore than a basket of harddried knots of baked dough.Harry didn’t have the heartto tell her that the “hockeypucks” were not fit to eat.After all, they were still hon-eymooners.

Then, Harry realized hehad unknowingly sabotagedhis wife’s first solo efforts:he had bought plain flour in-stead of self-rising.

Over the years, Ollie be-came a good cook. Shelearned a lot from Harry’smother, Roxie, and accordingto Harry, there wasn’t any-thing she couldn’t do in thekitchen. Harry didn’t tell heruntil years later about thebiscuit escapade. And when

he did, he showed her the onebiscuit he had stashed awayin a dresser drawer all thoseyears.

She retold the story often.One day in the beauty shop awoman told her she ought tohave it framed. She liked thatidea and did just that. Harrysaid the little shadowboxhung in the living room oftheir home for the rest oftheir married life.

Now by himself, Harryhas made a life at TrinityOaks and more recently atLutheran Home. He enjoysspending his days visitingwith friends, watching Turn-er Classic Movies and thenews.

He will tell you he hashad a good life. He will smilewhen he talks about Ollie.His eyes will sparkle whenhe points to the frame on thewall and says, “Now let metell you about that biscuit.”

Last week I heard sever-al customers talking aboutcooking and freezing greensfor Thanksgiving. Sam Bai-ley has collards and othergreens. Eagle Farm has cur-ley mustard greens, turnipgreens and kale. Lei Lai hasflowers, lemon grass, mus-tard greens and mixedgreens. Her dahlias contin-ue to bloom.

Pumpkins are in shortsupply, but Sam Bailey hassome lumpy, bumpy gourdsin bright orange, green andgold. Apples are abundantbut seem to have less colorthan usual this year. Sum-mer vegetables are stillavailable at Eagle Farm andCress Farm.

When I stopped by to vis-it How Sweet It Is, Kris re-minded me that she hadpumpkin bread and pie andapple desserts. Carla Ann’shas fall cupcakes, yeastbreads, pound cake and pies.She will have sweet potatoand pecan pies. This weekwill be the last week BreadBasket will be at the market.She will have persimmonpudding, but you will need toget to the market early to

A table of food sitsat the season open-er of the EmbassySeries held at theIraqi Cultural Cen-ter in Washington.It’s the season forembassy soirees inthe nation’s capital,and the public is in-vited to attend a se-ries of concerts andreceptions — notjust for the music,but also as a way tosample the socialwhirl of the diplo-matic set on a tripto Washington.

QUITE A FEAST

He and Chettleburgh saidthey were particularly inter-ested in discovering ways toembrace and support thegrowing diversity in theircity of about 45,000 residents.

“You have far more expe-rience in ethnicity and deal-ing with diversity than we doin our Salisbury,” Nettle said.“We can learn from that.”

The visit coincided withthe Mayor’s Spirit Luncheon,an event that brings Salisburyresidents from differentracial and ethnic back-grounds together to celebratediversity.

British guests heard fourdifferent invocations, includ-ing Buddhist, Jewish, Islam-ic and Christian prayers.

Regardless of the lan-guage, “it was lovely to sitand pray with you,” Chettle-burg said.

In a presentation intendedto show that both Salisburysshare a spirit of giving, Net-tle and Chettleburg detailedthe charities they promotedwhile serving as mayor.

Many residents of Salis-bury, England — a city of“amazing affluence” — didn’trealize people were going tobed hungry or friendless,Nettle said.

As mayor, Nettle promot-ed a charity called TrussellTrust. Since Nettle’s term in2004, the trust has becomethe main provider to all foodbanks and soup kitchens inSalisbury, England. Morethan 70 cities have launchedsimilar efforts, he said.

The trust uses privatefunding and volunteers, whocollect food by handing peo-ple grocery lists as they en-ter a store, Nettle said. Shop-pers may buy one or twoitems, or they may fill an en-tire cart, he said.

When he visited a destituteschool to explain the charityprogram, children immedi-ately lined up and wanted tocontribute.

However badly off peopleare, he learned “the gift ofgiving is far more importantthan the gift of receiving,”Nettle said.

Chettleburgh served asmayor twice and chose twocharities. The first effort cre-ated a memorial book docu-menting every man andwoman who died while serv-ing in WWI and WWII.

It had never been done,Chettleburgh said.

Even in a city full of tradi-tion, with a military base andcathedral, “it was one of thosethings that had been over-looked,” she said.

She then promoted a char-ity called Children’s Chance,which helps children contin-ue sports or music lessons iftheir families “suddenly hitthe brick wall” of unemploy-ment and poverty, Chettle-burgh said.

The councillors explainedthe major shift in their gov-ernment, which Nettle saidwould compare to North Car-olina taking over RowanCounty’s assets and responsi-bilities.

Their district, or county,was absolved into Wiltshire,or state, he said.

They’ve lost an entire tierof government, he said.

While Chettleburgh andNettle used to represent Sal-isbury at the district level,they now serve the city di-rectly.

“We really want to growand flourish and be there forthe people of Salisbury,”Chettleburgh said.

Many assets that belongedto the district, includingparks and graveyards, wentto Wiltshire by an act of Par-liament, Nettle said.

“We are trying to get themback,” he said.

Councillors have success-fully reclaimed about 95 per-cent of their lost assets, butthe effort has been complicat-ed and time-consuming, hesaid.

Typically, as many as 20British councillors come toSalisbury. This time, only twomade the journey becauseothers stayed back to contin-ue working on the problem,Nettle said.

He encouraged the sister-city relationship to move be-yond the political level to in-clude school, sports andchurch exchanges.

Local taxpayers do not footthe bill when British guestscome to Salisbury and viceversa, said John Sofley, direc-tor of the city’s ManagementServices Department.

All flights are paid for bygrants or private funding, andlodging and meals are provid-ed in private homes, he said,both in Salisbury, N.C. andSalisbury, U.K.

If you own a time share andwould like to get rid of it but youhave given up finding a buyer,today could be your lucky day.

We found to-day’s first greatreader tip to beso useful thatit’s been namedour Tip of theMonth. Theprize? A one-year member-ship to Debt-Proof LivingOnline. Con-gratulations!

Tip of the month: We had atime share, which made us a tar-get for scam artists. When weultimately decided that themaintenance fees were notworth the cost of keeping theproperty, I researched the bestway to get rid of it. We donatedit to charity. It’s important to beaware of scams, even when youdonate a time share, but I foundthat Donate For A Cause is rep-utable and supported by the Bet-ter Business Bureau. We paidto get the title transferred; wewere paying maintenance feesanyway, so we figured it wouldbe worth the transfer fee to getrid of it. The best part is that weget a tax write-off for the feeswe paid, plus up to $5,000 for thecost of the property. Anothercharity that accepts time sharesis the Veterans Assistance As-sociation. I asked for referencesat each charity before I mademy decision. The whole processtook 60 to 90 days.

— Constance B.Tennessee

Smart saver:I always go to thegrocery with a fistful ofcoupons. Recently, the cashiersaid to me, “Why don’t you makethe check out for the originalamount? I will give you your sav-ings in cash, and you can put itin your savings account.” Aha!I started to carry a gold enve-lope in my purse to hold my sav-ings. Once a month, I deposit theenvelope’s contents into my sav-ings account. In one year, Isaved (are you ready?) $2,234 atthe grocery. Saving money thisway has worked so well for me.Money that otherwise wouldhave leaked out of my hands isnow earning interest!

— Cherda M.North Carolina

Brilliant black: I used to strug-gle to keep my wardrobe sim-ple. I’d open my closet to find itpacked with clothes, but I did-n’t have a decent outfit to put to-gether. Finally, I decided tomake black my only neutral. Ibegan buying only black pantsand shoes. Eventually, as otherthings needed to be replaced, Iwould buy black purses, coats,gloves, boots, etc. When Ibought tops and sweaters, I onlybought them in white or colorsthat went with black. I evenswitched over to only buying sil-ver jewelry. Now everything Iown is interchangeable, and Ihave many outfit combinationsfrom which to choose. I cannotbelieve how this has simplifiedmy life!

— Kathy S.Michigan

Cash cow: We noticed thatabout 95 percent of our spend-ing was done by debit card, evenfor small items. Balancing thecheckbook became a night-mare. We were nickel-and-dim-ing ourselves broke! We finallymade the decision to stop usingour debit cards. Now we keepcash on hand for daily expens-es, and we use good old-fash-ioned checks for large purchas-es and monthly bills. It’s madebalancing the checkbook somuch easier, and my husband’s

paycheck is going a lot further. — Cheryl P.

Dear Amy:My friend “Judy”likes to cram a lot into her day.More often than not, when

we plan an outing, the day be-fore the event she’ll tell me

that she willneed to leaveearly to bes omewhereelse at a cer-tain time.This usual-

ly results inour having tocut shortwhatever wewere doing forher to rush offto her next en-

gagement.This makes me feel an-

noyed and put out. It’s as ifshe’s saying, “I don’t want tobe bothered doing what youwant to do.”What can I say to her that

will not jeopardize the friend-ship entirely? — Rush Job in WashingtonDear Rush: The most obvi-

ous solution to your time man-agement issue would be foryou to schedule your meetingswith your friend at the end ofher busy day.This doesn’t answer the

question of what’s going onwith your friendship, howev-er.The real issue is how your

friend can habitually do some-

thing you find chronically an-noying and yet you feel thatexpressing your feelings toher would “entirely jeopard-ize” your friendship.What gives?Friends get to tell each oth-

er the truth, even if revealingit makes you feel just a littlebit needy. And so you say, “Idon’t know, ‘Judy’ — I’ve no-ticed that whenever we makeplans, you tend to cut shortour time together. What’s upwith that?”

Dear Amy: I am a secretaryat your average middle school.The other secretary and I

have noticed an alarmingtrend: Children of the cellphone generation do not knowhow to use a land line phone!Students are not allowed to

use their cell phones duringschool hours, but they are per-mitted to use the office phonesto call home.This is what we have wit-

nessed and are concernedabout:They do not pick up the re-

ceiver before dialing the num-ber.They do not listen for a dial

tone (most don’t even knowwhat the term “dial tone”means).They do not know to dial 1

before the area code and num-ber.

They do not know theirhome number or the numberof a parent’s cell phone (be-cause they are used to speed-dialing it from their cellphone).It is essential that parents

review this with their chil-dren.There are times when their

cell phone may not work, orbe available, and they mayhave to rely on a regularphone to reach their parents.

— School SecretaryDear Secretary: I possess

and use a rotary phone. There,I said it.And if you think using a

“regular” phone confuseskids, you should see the faceof a typical middle schoolerwhen faced with the myster-ies of a rotary dial.App that!I very much appreciate

your cautionary suggestion,and so, parents, take a breakfrom the other challengingparenting issues you face, i.e.the “sex talk,” the “drug talk”the “online predators” talk —and show your kids how to usea land line phone, for heck’ssake.Most important, make sure

the kids know and memorizeall the family phone numbersto the extent that they can rat-tle them off in their sleep.This is vital.

After this lesson in “oldschool” technology, you canbring out your old typewriterand introduce them to themysteries of the Selectric:Kids! It’s a keyboard and aprinter rolled into one!

Dear Amy: “Hard of Hear-ing” wrote in because hisneighbors didn’t like the noisecoming from his home — in-cluding the loud televisionand his loud barking dogs.I am also hearing im-

paired, and I can relate tosome of their problems, butthey should consider theirneighbors.The family can purchase

headphones that amplify theirTVs. They use batteries sothere are no wires to trip

over. I have tried them andthey are excellent.Also, I get the captions on

my TV, and although thespelling is often poor, it workswell.As far as the dogs are con-

cerned, they are probablyvery unhappy to be alone. Iagree with your solution andthink this person was incon-siderate.

— Also HearingImpaired

Dear Hearing Impaired:Many hearing-impaired peo-

ple made similar suggestions.Thank you all.

How to unload a time shareand get a big tax deduction

MARYHUNT

By The Associated Press

As the White House stageda first-of-its-kind communi-ty college summit Tuesday,the Obama administrationwas proposing that strongerpartnerships between two-year public colleges and big-name U.S. employers such asMcDonald’s and The Gap willhelp better match workerswith jobs during the econom-ic recovery and beyond.Community college offi-

cials welcomed the new ini-tiative, “Skills for America’sFuture.”But it’s unclear whether

the project will help meetObama’s education goals.Community colleges areshort of cash, jammed withlaid-off workers and studentswho in better times would at-tend four-year schools andspending heavily on remedi-al education for students ill-prepared for college.For years, community col-

leges have worked with localemployers to identify em-ployment needs and train forthem. But most efforts havestayed local, or been limitedto pilot programs.“These employers are well

known and very importantemployers and this is beingdone at a national level,” saidThomas Bailey, director ofthe Community College Re-search Center at ColumbiaUniversity’s Teachers Col-lege. “It’s not at the local, lo-cal level where people don’tsee it every much.”

Russian scientistswin Nobel Prizein physicsSTOCKHOLM (AP) —

Russian-born scientists An-dre Geim and KonstantinNovoselov have won the No-bel Prize in physics.The Royal Swedish Acad-

GOP makes Richardsona top campaign issueALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

(AP) — In a historic racewhere New Mexico will electits first female governor, theoutcome could hinge on vot-er discontent with a man noteven on the ballot: Gov. BillRichardson.The governor’s popularity

has plunged amid corruptioninvestigations as he nears theend of his second term, andhis presence looms large inthe race between RepublicanSusana Martinez and Demo-cratic Lt. Gov. Diane Denish.Martinez frequently men-

tions Richardson in cam-paign appearances, and herTV ads feature pictures ofDenish alongside Richard-son. Denish has attempted todistance herself fromRichardson even thoughshe’s his lieutenant governor.“We know what we have

had the last eight years. Wehave to look at those eightyears and make sure we don’thave a third Bill Richardson-Diane Denish administra-tion,” Martinez told an Albu-querque crowd of more than400 during the most recentdebate.Martinez will become the

nation’s first female Hispan-ic governor if elected, andshe’s giving the GOP stronghopes of victory by takingadvantage of voter worriesabout the economy andweariness with the Richard-son administration.

NY prosecutors seeklife term for TimesSquare bomber

NEW YORK (AP) — Thescene in a remote spot inPennsylvania was exactlywhat authorities say failedbomber Faisal Shahzad hadwanted on a busy evening inTimes Square on May 1.An improvised car bomb

— a 1993 Pathfinder fittedwith 250 pounds of ammoni-um nitrate and diesel fuel,three 25-pound propanetanks and two five-gallongasoline canisters — blew upwith a force that ripped thesport utility vehicle in half.The explosion also caused

a giant fireball that over-turned and shredded fourother cars parked nearby inan open field, obliteratedabout a dozen dummiesposed as pedestrians and shotfiery debris hundreds of feetin all directions.A dramatic videotape of

the FBI-staged test blast inJune has become a key pieceof evidence against Shahzad,who faces a mandatory lifeprison term at his sentencingTuesday in Manhattan feder-al court.Technicians studied

Shahzad’s design before us-ing it to build a working mod-el they say demonstrated hisdeadly intent.

Rescue of 33 trappedminers getting closeSAN JOSE MINE, Chile

(AP) — Chile’s president saidMonday that his governmentis “very close” to pulling 33trapped miners to safety andhe hopes to be there in per-son to see the rescue beforeleaving on a trip to Europe.It was Sebastian Pinera

who told the miners afterthey were found alive Aug.22 that they would be savedby Christmas, and his gov-ernment has assembled ateam of hundreds to supportthem while three simultane-ous drilling operations poundescape shafts through a half-mile of rock.The drilling has gone well

enough to move up the datesince then, but rescue lead-ers have been cautious: Onlylast week, they estimated alate-October pullout.Now the president has

changed the expected dateagain, to before his Oct. 15-22 trip.“We are very close to res-

cuing them, and I hope to beable to rescue them beforeleaving for Europe,” he tolda group of Chilean radiobroadcasters Monday. “Weare trying to adjust the twoschedules.”

Jill Biden participatesin summit oncommunity collegesWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama is

turning the education spot-light on community colleges,enlisting career teacher andsecond lady Jill Biden to pre-side over the first-ever WhiteHouse summit on the systemof schools he’s counting on tohelp produce an additional 8million graduates by 2020.While providing millions

of students with skills train-ing and a less expensive pathto a college degree, theseschools are challenged byclimbing enrollments, highdropout rates and large num-bers of students who comefrom high school needingsignificant remedial educa-tion before they can tacklecollege level work, officialssay.What works — and does

not work — at communitycolleges were topics of dis-cussion at Tuesday’s summit.Obama was scheduled to

deliver opening remarks.The daylong exercise in-

volved representatives fromcommunity colleges, busi-ness, philanthropy and gov-ernment in discussions abouthow these schools can meetthe increased demand for jobtraining and also help fulfillObama’s wish for the U.S. tobecome the world’s top pro-ducer of college graduates by2020.

Flash floods inIndonesia kill atleast 29TELUK WONDAMA, In-

residents in West Papuaprovince’s hillside village ofWasior were combing themud in search of survivors,some with their bare hands.Hundreds of homes were de-stroyed.“I heard a roar and sud-

denly the river near myhome broke its banks,” saidIra Wanoni, describing thescariest deluge, which oc-curred early Monday. “Wa-ter mixed with rocks, mudand logs gushed out. ... Manypeople didn’t have time tosave themselves.”With many roads under-

water, rescue workers werehaving a hard time reachingthe area, which has also beenhit by power blackouts anddowned telephone lines.Some of the more than 60people injured — most withbroken bones — had to beevacuated to by helicopter.Mujiharto, who heads the

Ministry of Health’s crisiscenter, said rescuers havepulled 29 bodies from be-neath tons of heavy, darkmud and debris and thatdozens were still missing,meaning the death toll couldrise.

French bank traderappeals 3-yearprison sentencePARIS (AP) — The lawyer

for former French bank trad-er Jerome Kerviel says he isappealing a Paris court’s ver-dict sending Kerviel toprison for three years and or-dering him to pay a stagger-ing $6.7 billion in damages.Lawyer Olivier Metzner

says his client is “disgusted.”He said the court found bankSociete Generale SA “was re-sponsible for nothing, not re-sponsible for the creaturethat it had created.”Metzner says “I have the

feeling Jerome Kerviel ispaying for an entire system.”Kerviel was found guilty

on charges of forgery,breach of trust and unautho-rized computer use for cov-

ering up bets worth billionsbetween late 2007 and early2008.He maintained that the

bank tolerated his massiverisk-taking as long as it mademoney.

Prosecutor says AnnaNicole Smith pressureddefendants for drugsLOS ANGELES (AP) In a

new twist at the Anna NicoleSmith drug trial, prosecutorsare casting the dead celebri-ty model in the role of cocon-spirator who pressured hertwo doctors and her lawyer-

boyfriend to provide herwith excessive prescriptiondrugs.In closing arguments

Monday, Deputy District At-torney David Barkhurst por-trayed Smith as a drug seek-ing addict, discounting de-fense claims that she was awoman in extreme physicaland emotional pain when shebegan taking opiates andsedatives includingMethadone, Vicodin and Di-laudid.Witnesses have said Smith

suffered from chronic painsyndrome, seizures, mi-graines, spinal pain and frac-tured ribs, among other ail-

ments. But Barkhurst sug-gested all the ailments werea ruse to get drugs.“Anna needed her

Methadone because shewas addicted to it ,” hesaid.Deputy District Attorney

Renee Rose began her argu-ment just before court re-cessed Monday and was tocontinue Tuesday. She saidshe might talk all day, butSuperior Court Judge RobertPerry suggested she limither speech. AfterBarkhurst’s nearly three-hour speech, he said hefeared jurors would begin to“tune out.”

Why the enthusiasm gap?

Good Samaritan deliversgift on a dreary morning

We all love to get gifts on special occasions,birthdays, anniversaries and, of course, Christ-mas. Mine came on a dark, early Tuesdaymorning. I happened to be stranded with mykeys and phone in the locked car!

After grumbling about how stupid, stupid,stupid I was, I asked myself: OK, what to do? Itwas dark; no lights were on in any of the housessurrounding me. So I went to the road and wait-ed for someone to stop and help me.

Well, that wasn’t working ... so I said a des-perate prayer to God: “OK, you said you wouldalways help. Just ask. Well, now is the time;please send me a good Samaritan. Now.”

Within a few minutes, my prayers were an-swered. A white pickup stopped, and the driverasked if he could help. He let me use his cellphone to call the school. To add insult to injury, Iwas supposed to drive the bus that morning!

The man told me his wife worked for theschool system. I was beginning to feel better, so Iasked the one thing a person should not ask for— a lift to the school. I was a little panicky on theride, but my guardian angel was with me and thissoft-spoken man. I asked if anyone ever askedhim if he was Santa Claus. He said, “Yes, often.”

His wife doesn’t like his beard, but with cool-er weather coming, it helps to keep him warmwhen he rides his motorcycle. I am very grate-ful for the gift of kindness from George Spry.There are still good people around when youneed them to offer the “gift.”

Thank you, Mr. Spry.— Darby Nelson

Great response to fair mishapI’d like to thank the Rowan County EMS,

Sheriff’s Office and staff at Rowan RegionalMedical Center. My son got hurt at the Rowanfair last Friday night. He fell from a rope andbroke his wrist. I am thankful the EMS staffquickly transported my son, Jason Diliello Jr.,to the hospital. They were so kind to give him aBeanie Baby he named “Bones,” for brokenbones. It helped him feel secure. He is doingmuch better now.

The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office wasgreat. They helped me get to my car quicklyand safely to be able to go to the hospital withthe ambulance to see my son. Thanks for beingso kind to me. The Rowan Regional staff, Dr.Gainor and Todd Kennedy, were wonderful.They kept my son’s pain under control andbless Todd Kennedy for coming out at midnightto put my son’s wrist back together. Dr. Gainorwas great about explaining everything andwatching my son under anesthesia.

I greatly appreciate the time and caring wewere shown and the respect my son receivedwhile a patient in the emergency room. My sonalso says thank you.

Liberals wantedObama to do more

You almost can’t blame President Obama forbeing frustrated. He’s gotten more big thingsdone — a health care bill, the stimulus, finan-

cial reform — than any Demo-cratic president since LyndonJohnson, and he’s done it in onlytwo years. So why all the com-plaining from his liberal base?Because it hasn’t been enough.And what has been done hasn’tbeen done well.

Yes, the longtime progressivedream of a universal health carebill passed — but in a messyform that, with its mandate onAmerican citizens to buy theirown health insurance or face

penalties, seems designed to alienate as manyvoters as it serves. The stimulus probablyaverted a Depression-like disaster for theAmerican economy, but liberals believe it prob-ably needed to be bigger in order to lower astill-horrendous unemployment rate. Financialreform took too long to pass and was watereddown by the very institutions that must be reg-ulated.

That doesn’t even include the president’s ac-tions in the War on Terror, where his moveshave been barely distinguishable from Presi-dent Bush. Sure Obama ordered an end to tor-ture. But Gitmo is still open, there are stilltroops fighting in Iraq and the AfghanistanWar appears to be a deepening quagmire. Civillibertarians and gay rights advocates, mean-while, also have a long list of reasons to befrustrated with the president.

Is all this letting the perfect be the enemy ofthe good? Maybe.

Certainly, it is difficult to believe many lib-erals would be happier if John McCain hadbeen president the last two years. But Presi-dent Obama and his surrogates don’t generateenthusiasm when they criticize and mock theirmost fervent supporters.

It’s time they stopped complaining andstarted persuading their liberal critics — andthe rest of the nation — that the actions they’vetaken are the right ones.

AIRPORT RUNWAY EXTENSION

Preparingfor takeoffRowan County officials need to make

sure the county won’t be vulnerableto any burdensome environmental

liabilities before moving ahead with theproposed purchase of an industrial site toextend the runway at the Rowan CountyAirport. Barring such complications, how-ever, it’s a no-brainer that the countyshould proceed with acquisition of thePerma-Flex rubber plant site as part of itslongterm growth plan for the airport.You don’t need to look very far down

the road — or the 4,500-foot runway — tounderstand why.Concord Regional Airport, one of the

busiest smaller airports in the nation, hasa 7,400-foot runway and sits on almost 800acres. Fueled by NASCAR teams’ jets andother corporate customers, Concord Re-gional has enjoyed phenomenal growth,and Cabarrus officials say they’re deter-mined to keep growing. Meanwhile, in an-other direction, Iredell County expandedthe Statesville airport’s runway a coupleof years ago. It subsequently became thehome base for Lowe’s corporate fleet andNewell Rubbermaid’s aviation operationscenter, complementing jet-setting raceteams that also keep their aircraft there.Rowan County has been playing catch-

up in regional airport competition. Countyofficials got serious about it several yearsago, bringing in Charlotte-based airportconsultants Talbert and Bright to com-plete a longterm plan for the airport’smodernization and expansion. That studyprojected dramatic growth in air trafficand business in the coming years. To pre-pare for it, however, the airport wouldneed to upgrade its facilities, acquiremore land and extend the runway by 1,000feet.The county has already taken some im-

portant steps. It assumed operational con-trol of the airport and hired a professionalmanager. Working in concert with city of-ficials, who had previously annexed theairport property, the county lowered taxrates to make them more competitive withother regional facilities. Now, with theavailability of federal funding, the countyhas the opportunity to secure the key partof the longterm expansion plan — the run-way extension, which will alter the run-way’s south end and eventually requirethe reconfiguration of a segment of Air-port Road.As with any property transaction, offi-

cials need to be prudent. But any way youlook at it — whether from the perspectiveof an expanded tax base or enhancedprospects for longterm economic growth— a thriving airport with a longer runwaywill yield big benefits for the county. Any-thing less would be selling Rowan short.

RALEIGH — Smartpoliticians have aknack for turning

blunders into opportunities.In her first two years in

office, Gov. Beverly Perdueprobablywouldn’t rankhigh on mostpeople’s listin that re-gard.

Poll afterpoll tag herwith low jobapproval rat-ings. She’shad to ad-dress scan-dals at the

State Highway Patrol andquestions about campaignflights. Too often, she’s ap-peared indecisive.

Meanwhile, her politicalparty is trying to withstandstrong winds blowing the op-posite direction, just amonth before mid-term elec-tions.

This past week, though,Perdue looked the role ofstrong chief executive. Shetook a couple of blunderswithin her administrationand turned them into oppor-tunities to show that she’s at-tuned to the people she’sgoverning.

First, Perdue sacked herrevenue secretary, Ken Lay,during a brouhaha over a de-cision that would have al-lowed the state to keep tax-payers’ inadvertent overpay-ments.

Lay’s blame is debatable,but he was the top guy with-in the department. He alsofailed to understand that try-ing to deflect criticism up-stream wasn’t such a goodidea.

Perdue’s quick response— overturning the decisionand then replacing Lay — isthe kind of non-namby-pam-by leadership that voters ex-pect of the elected.

Perdue also waded intothe mess over the state Em-ployment Security Commis-sion, where $28 million inoverpayments had gone outto 38,000 unemploymentworkers, the result of an ad-ministrative error. Theagency had begun sendingout notices and withholdingnew benefits to recoup themoney.

Instead, Perdue orderedthat the overpayments bewaived, even as her office,the ESC and U.S. Depart-ment of Labor began work-ing out how to repay themoney.

Whatever the final resolu-tion, it won’t come from un-employed workers who hadearlier been sent inflatedchecks through no fault oftheir own.

Obviously, it would benice if dumb decisions andadministrative bungling nev-er occurred in the firstplace.

Perdue’s critics will sure-ly say that they shouldn’tand that the buck stops withher.

State Republican PartyChairman Tom Fetzer imme-diately took a swipe at thechoice to replace Lay, Per-due’s former colleague inthe state Senate, DavidHoyle. Fetzer said the choicewas just another example ofcronyism from Democrats.

Fetzer has a point. Crony-ism and nepotism have sure-ly played a role in plenty ofexecutive agency bumbling,both recent and past.

In this case, though,Hoyle has both the politicalacumen and policy back-ground, as the longtime Sen-ate Finance Committee co-chair, to do the job. The big-ger question that the ap-pointment raises is whetherthe Perdue administration isnow signaling that it willbend over backward for cor-porate taxpayers.

Hoyle, a developer andbusinessman, is a naturalally for those taxpayers.

The answer will play outover time.

More importantly for Per-due, for the first time in awhile, she looked firmly incharge.

There’s probably only oneexplanation: The lawyers inher office must have been onvacation.

Common sense(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

The chains of love are never so binding aswhen their links are made of gold.

— Royal Tyler

Moderately Confused

Scripps Howard News Service

As November’s midterm congressionalelections near, the Republicans clearlyhave more fervor on their side — a big-

ger base of financial donors and voters readyto hit the polls.

The Democratic response has been to criti-cize liberal critics. White House spokesmanRobert Gibbs complained about the “profes-

sional left” of influential bloggers. Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden advised Democrats to “stopwhining.” President Obama warned RollingStone “it is inexcusable for any Democrat orprogressive right now to stand on the sidelinesin this midterm election.”

Are Republicans better at unity than De-mocrats? Why the infighting? Joel Mathis andBen Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica colum-nists, weigh in with gusto.

President’s policiesare unpopular

“If you don’t have any fresh ideas,” BarackObama once said, “then you use stale tactics toscare the voters. If you don’t have a record to

run on, then you paint your op-ponent as someone peopleshould run from.”

Of course, that was in 2008,when Obama was riding highand everything was “Hope” and“Change” and “Yes We Can.”Yes we can ... what? Blow up thedeficit to nearly $1.3 trillion andthe national debt to more than$13 trillion? Pass a health carebill that even Democrats won’tdefend? Jam down financialregulations that will only drive

up banking costs and hurt consumers? Flirtwith a cap-and-trade scheme that would cut offeconomic recovery at the knees? No thanks.

Obama, fresh out of ideas, has resorted tousing his weekly radio addresses and inter-views with Rolling Stone magazine to scold hisprogressive base and denounce the ascendantRepublicans. His attacks against Republicansare little more than cartoon caricatures, andthey aren’t working.

The president believed, mistakenly, Ameri-cans wanted a radical expansion of govern-ment. In fact, Americans simply wanted to berid of George W. Bush.

The danger is Republicans who benefit fromAmerica’s growing disdain for Obama’s poli-cies will overplay their hand. Fact is, voters areweary of expanding government while at-tached to certain programs, such as Medicareand Social Security. But the truth is, Republi-cans and Democrats need to confront the sizeand scope of government not just as Obamawants it to be, but also as it is. All of the neces-sary remedies will hurt. None of them will beaccomplished easily, quickly or without politi-cal sacrifice.

Voters put their faith in Obama, but it’s nev-er wise to put faith in a mere politician. Wemay need a miracle, but don’t be disappointedwhen what we get instead is a Republican ma-jority.

BENBOYCHUK

PARIS (AP) — Ex-traderJerome Kerviel was convict-ed on all counts Tuesday inhistory’s biggest rogue trad-ing scandal, sentenced to atleast three years in prisonand ordered to pay his for-mer employer damages ofeuro4.9 billion ($6.7 billion)— a sum so staggering itdrew gasps in the courtroom.

The court rejected de-fense arguments that the 33-year-old trader was a scape-goat for a financial systemgone haywire with greed andthe pursuit of profit at anycost — a decision sure to takesome pressure off the belea-guered banking system over-all.

By ordering a tough sen-tence for a lone trader, theruling marked a startling de-parture from the general at-mosphere of hostility andsuspicion about big banks inan era of financial turmoil. Itwas a huge victory forKerviel’s former employerSociete Generale SA,France’s second-biggestbank, which long had a repu-tation for cutting-edge finan-cial engineering and has putin place tougher risk controlssince the scandal broke in2008.

Kerviel maintained thatthe bank and his bosses tol-erated his massive risk-tak-ing as long as it made money— a claim the bank stronglydenied.

“I have the feeling JeromeKerviel is paying for an en-tire system,” said OlivierMetzner, Kerviel’s lawyer,noting that his client hadn’tbenefited financially fromthe fraud.

Kerviel stood expression-less as the court convictedhim and pronounced a five-year sentence with two yearssuspended. Kerviel wasfound guilty on charges offorgery, breach of trust andunauthorized computer usefor covering up bets worthnearly euro50 billion betweenlate 2007 and early 2008. Hewas also banned for life fromworking in the financial in-dustry.

In the most stunning blow,the court ordered Kerviel topay the bank back the euro4.9billion that it lost unwinding

his complex positions in Jan-uary 2008 — a punishmentnobody realistically expectshim to repay.

It’s the equivalent of 20Airbus A380 superjumbojets, or the entire gross do-mestic product of the westAfrican nation of Benin.

French media calculatedthat — based on his currentsalary of $3,150 a month as acomputer consultant — itwould take Kerviel 177,536years to pay off the damages.

The sentence “is moresymbolic than real” saidBradley Simon, a white col-lar criminal defense attor-ney, “because he will neverbe able to pay even a tinyfraction” of the amount.

Simon, a New York-basedformer federal prosecutorturned white-collar criminaldefense attorney, said the de-cision was “breathtaking.”

“One low-level individualmust bear the total responsi-bility for the near-demise ofa pillar of the French finan-cial system,” Simon said.“This judgment ignores whatwe now know to be the realcase, that Societe Generaleand financial institutionsthroughout the world wereencouraging risky trades.”

Kerviel’s lawyer said hewould appeal and will remainfree pending that appeal. Thedamages are also suspendedduring the appeals process.

Paris lawyer EmmanuelleKneuse, who works on white-collar crime cases, said thedamages were the largest shecould recall in France.

If the prison sentence andhuge damages are main-tained on appeal, that wouldlikely force Kerviel to prom-ise substantial monthly pay-ments to secure his releaseon parole, she said.

Societe Generale spokes-woman Caroline Guillaumincalled the verdict “an impor-tant ruling that acknowl-edges the moral and financialharm done to the bank and itsstaff.”

“The bank can now turnthe page, pursue its strategyand continue to rebound,”Guillaumin said in an e-mailed statement.

Kerviel sat with his armsfolded and his legs crossed

during the first 45 minutes ofthe hour-long hearing, alonein the front row of the court-room. He barely blinked aseach guilty verdict was readout. He then stood for sen-tencing in a dark suit and tie,frowning and silent.

“He is disgusted,” Metzn-er said of Kerviel’s reaction,adding the court had judgedthe bank “was responsiblefor nothing, not responsiblefor the creature that it hadcreated.”

“I hope you all will donatea euro to Jerome Kerviel,”the lawyer told TV camerasand reporters.

Kerviel, a soft-spoken anddebonair man from westernBrittany, has garnered con-siderable public appeal inFrance for his image of be-ing a scapegoat for powerfulcorporate interests.

While trading for thebank, Kerviel took home asalary and bonus of less thaneuro100,000, or about$155,700 — a relatively mod-est sum in the financialworld.

In 2007, Kerviel amassed1.4 billion euros in profits forSociete Generale, the presid-ing judge noted.

But in the end, the bank’sloss of 4.9 billion eurosstands as the largest-ever al-leged fraud by a single trad-er, though the case has sincebeen overshadowed by otherfinancial world crises, fromthe fall of Lehman Brothersto Bernard L. Madoff’smultibillion-dollar Ponzischeme.

During the proceedings,both sides admitted to mis-takes. Kerviel insisted hisbank superiors knew what hewas doing, which the bankdenied. Societe Generale’sformer chairman acknowl-edged there were problemsin monitoring the trader’swork, and an internal reportby the bank found managersfailed to follow up on 74 dif-ferent alarms aboutKerviel’s activities.

The bank says Kervielmade bets of up to 50 billioneuros — more than thebank’s total market value —on futures contracts on threeEuropean equity indices, andthat he masked the size of his

bets by recording fictitiousoffsetting transactions.

In the ruling, the courtsaid Kerviel acted withoutthe bank’s knowledge andsaid it was “obvious” none ofhis bosses would have al-lowed him to bet sums ex-ceeding the bank’s capital.

“Through his deliberateactions, he endangered thesolvency of a bank that em-ployed 140,000 people includ-ing himself, and whose fu-ture was seriously put atrisk,” the ruling said.

No one else faced chargesin the case. The bank’s CEODaniel Bouton and its headof investment banking Jean-Pierre Mustier stepped downin the wake of the scandal,with Bouton saying attackson him risked hurting thebank.

The bank’s earningscrumpled in 2007 after tak-ing into account the losses onKerviel’s trades. Its profit

rebounded in 2008 but werecut by more than half lastyear when the bank was hitby billions in new lossesstemming from bad bets pri-or to the financial crisis. Thisyear the bank’s earningshave bounced back, thanksto strong retail banking in itshome market.

Employed by Societe Gen-erale since 2000, Kervielworked his way up from asupporting role in an officethat monitors trades to a jobon the futures desk where heinvested the bank’s moneyby hedging on European eq-uity market indices.

He was arrested in Janu-ary 2008 and held for sixweeks in Paris’ La Santeprison.

Societe Generale’s sharesrose after the announcementof the verdict, closing up 3.6percent at 42.33 euros(US$58.33).

Kerviel’s fraud eclipsed

that of previous lone traders.In one infamous case,

Nick Leeson, a British trad-er working in Singapore forBarings Bank, made unautho-rized futures trades that lostmore than $1 billion and ledto the venerable bank’s col-lapse in 1995. That caseprompted banks worldwideto tighten their internalchecks.

Leeson was released froma Singapore jail in 1998 forgood behavior after serving31⁄2 years of a 61⁄2-year sen-tence. He claimed he did notmake a cent from his disas-trous trades but is still sub-ject to an injunction fromBarings’ liquidators thatseeks the return of 100 mil-lion pounds on any of hisearnings relating to Barings.

Leeson’s agent said Tues-day the former trader waswilling to do an exclusive in-terview on the Kerviel ver-dict — in exchange for a fee.

BANGKOK (AP) — A blastblew out the side of a residen-tial building in a Bangkok sub-urb Tuesday killing three peo-ple and injuring nine, emer-gency workers said, as policespeculated the explosion couldhave been caused by a bomb.

Police had yet to establishthe cause of the blast, whichtook place around 6 p.m., andthere was no obvious reasonthat the 5-story apartmentblock in Nonthaburi provincejust north of the Thai capitalmight be a target.

TNN cable news channelreported that police explo-sives experts were speculat-ing that the blast was causedby TNT or C4 explosive, per-haps used in a bomb as big as50 kilograms (110 pounds).

Dozens of bombings haveplagued Bangkok this year,both during anti-governmentprotests from March to Mayand in the months since themilitary cleared the streets,but none of such magnitude.Small blasts since July havekilled one person and wound-ed a dozen.

There have been no claimsof responsibility for any of theattacks.

Col. Sansern Kaewkamn-erd, spokesman for the specialarmy-led body in charge of se-curity since a state of emer-gency was declared during thepolitical unrest, said he did nothave many details, but conced-ed the blast could be linked topolitics.

He said the special agency,the Center for Resolution ofthe Emergency Situation, wasevaluating the incident.

“We cannot be certain thatit is political. ... We have tolook at all factors and motiva-tions,” Sansern told the Asso-ciated Press.

TNN said police explosivesexperts believed TuesdayÕsblast could have been causedby bombs similar to those usedby Islamic separatist insur-gents in southern Thailand,who have been waging a ter-ror campaign since 2004 thathas led to more than 4,300

deaths.That violence has been con-

fined to the predominantlyMuslim south of the country.

Matichon newspaper citedMaj. Gen. SrivaraRangsipramkul, acting policecommander for Thailand’sCentral Region, as suggestingthe room where the explosionoccurred may have been usedby a bombmaker.

The blast came on the sameday that Thai authorities ex-tended a state of emergencyin Bangkok and three sur-rounding provinces, citingcontinued security concerns.The measure was imposed inApril during the anti-govern-ment protests.

The authorities recentlywarned that stepped-up vio-lence was expected beginningthis month, and over the week-end detained 11 men in thenorthern province of ChiangMai accused of training forarmed attacks on behalf of amovement to overthrow Thai-land’s monarchy.

The claim has been metwith skepticism by govern-ment critics, who feel it is be-ing used to smear the so-calledRed Shirt movement whosemilitant demonstrations earli-er this year unsuccessfully de-manded that Prime MinisterAbhisit Vejjajiva call earlyelections. The Red Shirts inlarge part comprise followersof former Prime MinisterThaksin Shinawatra, who wasdeposed by a 2006 coup.

In Bangkok’s worst bomb-ing incident, eight separatebombs went off at locationsaround the capital the night of2006-2007 New Year’s Eve cel-ebrations. Three people werekilled and more than threedozen injured by the blasts,for which no one took respon-sibility or was brought to jus-tice.

Thai security officials havea mixed record in dealing withexplosives. Many have riskedtheir lives to defuse bombs inthe south placed by militants.But until last year, the armyand other state agencies used

a handheld device for locatingexplosives that has been ex-posed as a useless scam, as ac-knowledged by the govern-ment after testing.

In 2001, they made a majorgaffe when they said that anexplosion in a Boeing 737-400jet that Thaksin, then primeminister, was supposed toboard had been caused by abomb, based on their supposedfinding of traces of plastic ex-plosive at the scene. The con-clusion led Thaksin to initial-ly claim he had been the tar-get of an assassination at-tempt, perhaps by drug deal-ers irate with his governmen-tÕs crackdown on the illicittrade.

However, aviation expertslater concluded that the blastwas probably sparked fromheated vapors in an empty fueltank. One Thai Airways crewmember was killed in the in-cident.

Police: Gunmen burn 4NATO oil tankers inPakistan

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) —Police say gunmen in Pakistanhave torched four tankers car-rying fuel for NATO forces inAfghanistan. The attackersalso killed a truck driver.

Wednesday’s assault wasthe latest on supply convoysheading for Afghanistan sincePakistan shut a key bordercrossing to internationalforces last week.

Police official Shah NawazKhan says the attack occurredin the parking area of a road-side hotel on the outskirts ofthe southwest city of Quetta.

The attacks have raisedtensions already elevated byPakistan’s decision to close theTorkham crossing in apparentreaction to alleged NATO hel-icopter strikes on its territo-ry. One of those strikes killedthree Pakistani soldiers.

The tankers hit Wednesdaywere believed headed for asmaller border crossing thatremains open.

3 killed in explosion at Thaiapartment building

KOLONTAR, Hungary(AP) — A lethal torrent oftoxic red sludge from a met-al refinery engulfed towns inHungary, burning villagersthrough their clothes andthreatening an ecologicaldisaster Tuesday as it swepttoward the Danube River.The flood of caustic red

mud triggered a state ofemergency declaration byHungarian officials. At leastfour people were killed, sixwere missing and 120 in-jured, many with burns.Hundreds were evacuat-

ed in the aftermath of thedisaster Monday, when a gi-gantic sludge reservoir burstits banks at an alumina plantin Ajka, a town 100 miles(160 kilometers) southwestof Budapest, the capital. Thetorrent of sludge inundatedhomes, swept cars off roadsand damaged bridges.Named for its bright red

color, the material is a wasteproduct in aluminum produc-tion that contains heavy met-als and is toxic if ingested.In Kolontar, the town clos-

est to the plant, ErzsebetVeingartner was in herkitchen when the 12-foot-high wave of red slurry hit,sweeping away everything inits path.“I looked outside and all I

saw was the stream swellinglike a huge wave,” the 61-year-old widow said Tuesdayas she surveyed her back-yard, still under 6 feet ofnoxious muck.“I lost all my chickens, my

ducks, my Rottweiler, andmy potato patch. My latehusband’s tools and machin-ery were in the shed and it’sall gone,” sobbed the woman,who gets by on a $350 month-ly pension. “I have a winter’sworth of firewood in thebasement and it’s all uselessnow.”Emergency workers

wearing masks and chemicalprotection gear rushed topour 1,000 tons of plasterinto the Marcal River in anattempt to bind the sludgeand keep it from flowing onto the Danube some 45 milesaway. Nearby, desperate vil-lagers waded through thetoxic mud trying to salvagepossessions with little morethan rubber gloves as protec-tion.The 1,775-mile-long

Danube passes through someof the continent’s most pris-tine vistas from its origins asa Black Forest spring in Ger-many to its end point as a ma-jestic stretch of water emp-tying into the Black Sea.Now a murky green — not

blue as immortalized in theStrauss waltz — the riverflows through four formercommunist nations. One ofthe continent’s greatesttreasuries of wildlife, it hasbeen the focus of a multibil-lion dollar post-communistcleanup. Cormorants, swansand other birds are now com-mon sights on the river.Still, high-risk industries

such as Hungary’s AjkaiTimfoldgyar alumina plantare still producing wastenear some of its tributaries,posing a threat to the water-way.By Tuesday, about 35.3

million cubic feet of sludgehad poured from the reser-voir, flooding a 16 squaremile area, Environmental Af-fairs State Secretary ZoltanIlles told the state news wireMTI. He called the spill an“ecological catastrophe.”Dozens of villagers were

burned when the caustic ma-terial seeped through theirclothing. Two women, ayoung man and a 3-year-oldchild were killed, and healthofficials said two of the in-jured were in critical condi-tion.Because chemical burns

can take days to emerge,seemingly superficial in-juries can turn deadly asthey penetrate deeper tissue,Dr. Peter Jakabos of GyorHospital told state TV.In nearby Devecser, the

sea of muck in Tunde Erde-lyi’s house was 5 feet highTuesday and rescue workers

had to use an ax to cutthrough her living room doorto let it flow out. Her car hadbeen swept into the gardenand her husband’s van strad-dled a fence.“When I heard the rumble

of the flood, all the time I hadwas to jump out the windowand run to higher ground,”she said tearfully, addingthat she was grateful thefamily’s pet rabbit and catwere safe.Her husband, Robert Kis,

said his uncle was flown byhelicopter to Budapest afterthe sludge ‘burned him to thebone.’Firefighters and soldiers

wearing masks, rubber bootsand other protective gearwaded through the strickenarea Tuesday, flushing awaythe sludge with hoses, aidedby dozens of bulldozers, theirloaders scraping the pollut-ed ground.Hungarian Prime Minis-

ter Viktor Orban acknowl-edged that authorities werecaught off guard by the dis-aster, telling reporters thealumina plant and reservoirhad been inspected twoweeks earlier and no irregu-larities had been found.Red sludge is a byproduct

of the refining of bauxite intoalumina, the basic material

for manufacturing alu-minum. Representativesfrom industry organizationsin the U.S. and London couldnot explain why the Hungar-ian victims were burned bythe material, saying if it isproperly treated it is not haz-ardous.It is common to store

treated sludge in pondswhere the water eventuallyevaporates, leaving behind adried red clay-like soil, theofficials said.However, Hungarian en-

vironmentalist Gergely Si-mon said the sludge involvedin the disaster had been ac-cumulating in the reservoir

for decades and was ex-tremely alkaline, with a pHvalue of about 13 — nearlyequivalent to lye — and thatis what caused the burns.MAL Rt., the Hungarian

Aluminum Production andTrade Company that ownsthe Ajka plant, said that ac-cording to European Unionstandards, red sludge is notconsidered hazardous waste.The company also denied

that it should have takenmore precautions to shore upthe reservoir, a huge struc-ture more than 1,000 feetlong and 500 yards wide, andhigh enough to dwarf treesthat survived the torrent.

Clearly angered by thecompany’s suggestions thatthe substance was not haz-ardous, Interior MinisterSandor Pinter, snapped:“They should take a swim init and then they’ll see.”This week’s spill threat-

ened to eclipse the environ-mental damage caused 10years ago, when hugeamounts of cyanide pouredfrom a gold mine reservoirin a Romanian town near theHungarian border into theDanube and four smallerrivers, destroying plant andanimal life. Romania, whatwas then Yugoslavia andUkraine also were affected.

Brandon Bunn broke Nick Means’Catawba record for career touchdowncatches in Saturday’s 35-28 win atWingate.“We expected a lot of man-to-man

coverage and got it,” Catawba coachChip Hester said. “We’ll take Brandonone-on-one against anybody.”Bunn’s four TDs on Saturday gave

him 27 TD receptions. Means accumu-lated 25 in a career that ended in 2002.Means hasn’t disappeared from the

record book. He still holds the Cataw-ba mark for receiving yards (2,796).Bunn, a Virginia Beach native,

stayed at Means’ home during two ofhis summers at Catawba and learnedthe ropes from one of Catawba’s all-time greats.“Nick taught me a lot about foot-

ball, how to handle class and about

maturing off the field,” Bunn said. “Heshot me a text after Saturday’s game.

CHINA GROVE — Carsonwill have towait at leastone moreyear before

it celebrates its first NorthPiedmont Conference volley-ball title.Unbeaten North Iredell han-

dled the Cougars 25-19, 25-21,25-16 on Tuesday to finish a sea-son sweep. Barring astonishingupsets down the stretch, NorthIredell (16-0, 9-0) will win theNPC regular-season champi-onship.“We knew how big this game

was for Carson,” North Iredellcoach Natalie Tribble said.“They were playing for a shareof the conference champi-onship, and I warned the girlsthat they would be coming forus.”North Iredell survived a

rough patch late in Game 1 andearly in Game 2, a stretch inwhich it was battered 22-9 bythe fired-up Cougars, to calm-ly regain control.“North Iredell is just a very

mentally tough team,” Carsonsophomore Allison Blackwellsaid. “They expect to win. Wehave to get our own expecta-

Morgan inherits talent at SalisburyImagine looking at the numbersin the newspaper and realizing

you’ve hit the lottery on yourfirst try.

Wonder if that’show Justin Morgan’sfeeling right now?Salisbury named

Morgan as its newboys basketballcoach and the 26-year-old’s first headcoaching job shouldbe made easier be-cause of a roster richin talent.The Hornets re-

turn most of the keyingredients from an 18-6 team that

won its fourth straight Central Car-olina Conference tournament titleand fourth straight Sam MoirChristmas Classic.“They know the system,” Morgan

said. “All I’ll be doing is managingwhat they’ve always done.”Morgan, a former high school all-

state basketball, football and base-ball player, was Jason Causby’s as-sistant last season. When Causbydecided to leave for North HillsChristian School, Morgan was se-lected as his replacement.Morgan, who is also Scott Mad-

dox’s assistant in baseball, came toSalisbury in 2007, the same yearDarien Rankin, John Knox, RomarMorris and Alex Weant arrived as

freshmen. He hascoached Knox infootball, basketballand baseball. “The kids know

me well,” said Mor-gan, a Radford Uni-versity graduate.“The big thing is,they’re comfortablewith me.”•

That’s one of the reasons Knoxthinks everything will remain thesame.“It’s a good job for him because

he already knows us,” Knox said.“He’s been a friend and coach.We’ve really got to acknowledge

he’s the (head)coach now.”Causby left in

August and Morganeventually ap-proached principalWindsor Eagle.“I went to Dr. Ea-

gle and said, ‘Look,I wouldn’t mind tak-ing them and doing

something for at least one year untilwe can figure out what’s going on,’ ”Morgan said.Asked if this was an interim posi-

tion, Morgan responded, “Wehaven’t determined whether it’s a

Brandon Bunn was the SAC’s best offensive player on Saturday.

BY MIKE CRANSTONAssociated Press

CHARLOTTE — The Car-olina Panthers released re-ceiver Dwayne Jarrett onTuesday, hours after his sec-ond arrest on a charge of driv-ing while impaired in less thanthree years.

The Pan-thers re-placed himwith DavidClowney, whowas claimedoff waiversfrom the NewYork Jets tohelp a deplet-ed receivingcorps Jarrett

did little to boost before hislatest legal trouble.Jarrett managed only 35

catches and one touchdown infour seasons in Carolina, andthe Panthers (0-4) have start-ed two rookies ahead of himin the No. 2 receiver spot thisseason.“I talked to Dwayne and

told him the situation here isjust not working out for eitherside,” general manager Mar-ty Hurney said. “We had achance to pick up off waiversa receiver we consideredclaiming when he becameavailable four weeks ago. Wewish Dwayne the best.”Jarrett was pulled over on

Interstate 77 in Charlotte forspeeding shortly before 2 a.m.Tuesday, according to Char-lotte-Mecklenburg policespokesman Bob Fey. He saidJarrett declined to take abreath test to determine hisblood-alcohol content and re-sults of the ensuing blood testwon’t be known for severalweeks.The 24-year-old player was

released on $2,000 bond. Jar-rett’s first court appearanceis scheduled for Wednesdayafternoon, according to Meck-lenburg County District Courtspokesman Charles Keller.It wasn’t immediately clear

if Jarrett had hired an attor-ney. His agent, Drew Rosen-haus, didn’t return messagesseeking comment.Jarrett’s release ends a re-

markably disappointing four-year stint in Carolina.The Panthers chose the

Southern California star in thesecond round of the 2007 draftand released Keyshawn John-son days later, convinced the6-foot-4 Jarrett would becomea starter opposite Steve Smithafter setting a Pac-10 careerrecord with 41 touchdowncatches.But Jarrett had trouble

learning the playbook and ad-justing to the NFL. After arookie season spent mostly onthe inactive list, Jarrett was

Groh tackles VirginiaATLANTA (AP) — Al Groh says he

received lots of advice about retiringand enjoying life after he was firedby Virginia last year.Groh, 66, said Tuesday he reached

a quick decision after talking abouthis future with his wife, Ann.“That is what I do, that is who I

am,” Groh said of coaching. “It letsme be the person that I am.“Ann and I spoke very quickly af-

terward, and despite what many peo-ple were saying to me ... I very quick-ly said to Ann, ’I appreciate that ad-vice, I could probably retire fromfootball right now, but I am just notready to retire from me.”’Groh, in his first year as Georgia

Tech’s defensive coordinator, said hewon’t have extra motivation to beathis old team and alma mater when theYellow Jackets play Virginia on Sat-urday.“When you’re in competition and

you’ve been in it for a while andyou’re a veteran of competition, it re-ally doesn’t make any difference whatcolor jersey the team you’re coach-ing for wears,” he said. “All thatcounts is the result.”Groh can provide Georgia Tech a

detailed scouting report of Virginia’splayers and their skills, but he saidthe advantage belongs to coach MikeLondon and the Cavaliers.Groh hired London as a defensive

assistant at Virginia in 2001. He saysLondon and other Virginia assistantsknow everything about the 3-4 defen-sive scheme he now is installing atGeorgia Tech.Groh said he can’t change his de-

fense now.“Especially since we’re in the

process of installing our system, tomake a radical change would just re-ally throw our compass off,” Grohsaid.

“But clearly the advantage is onthe Virginia side. I say that becauseI taught our defense we’re playinghere to (London’s staff). They haveall my playbooks.”Groh said he London and his de-

fensive coaches “sat through endlesshours of meetings with me discussingdefense, making gameplans and ana-lyzing our performance.“There’s no dilemma up there fig-

uring out how Al Groh thinks.”Groh said he has remained close

to some of his former Virginia play-ers.“I am not sentimental toward in-

stitutions,” he said. “Whether they areNFL institutions or NCAA institu-tions, my sentiments, my emotions,my affections, and my appreciationis for individuals. As a result, mostof my best friends in this world arepeople that I coached or coached with.Nothing changes that.“I have much appreciated the play-

ers that have stayed in touch with methe past few months, so that is why Isay I look forward to developing thoserelationships as they move on.”Virginia linebacker Ausar Walcott

said he won’t be thinking about hisformer coach being across the field.“I’m just going into it looking at it

like it’s another game,” Walcott said.“I respect coach Groh. He’s a realgood guy, so I’m just going to go intoit like it was any other game, like hewasn’t there.”Added Virginia center Anthony

Mihota: “Honestly, I’ve never thoughtabout who the defensive coordinatorwas when we’ve played other teams.I’m not going to start thinking aboutit now.”Groh was 59-53 in nine years as

Virginia’s coach. He was fired after a 3-9 record in

2009.

Can Spartans stop Robinson?EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) —

For the last month, Denard Robinsonhas been all over the highlight shows,dashing into the Heisman Trophyconversation and leading a swiftresurgence at Michigan.Michigan State’s Eric Gordon

hopes to bring all of that to a halt.“It’s always fun to play a player

that has all this hype, and he deservesall the hype, obviously,” Gordon said.“It gives us a great opportunity.”Something has to give Saturday

when the 18th-ranked Wolverineshost the 17th-ranked Spartans in amatchup of unbeaten teams.If Michigan State wants to emerge

with a third straight victory overMichigan, Gordon and his teammateswill have to do what nobody else hasbeen able to: Contain the Michiganquarterback whose electrifying runshave given a much-needed boost tothe Wolverines’ offense.Michigan State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten)

has already faced Notre Dame’s no-huddle offense and Wisconsin’s bruis-ing running game, but this will be anentirely different challenge.“The one thing about playing them

is if he makes a guy miss, he has the

ability to go the distance,” MichiganState coach Mark Dantonio said.“That’s what you see when you watchthe film. ... Four, five plays in a row,they’ve got some semblance of con-tainment there, and then boom.”Robinson, a sophomore, is second

in the nation in total offense. Some-times when a quarterback is near thetop of that list, it’s because he’sthrown for a bunch of yards — butRobinson is averaging 181 yards agame on the ground, the top mark inthe nation.His Heisman resume already in-

cludes touchdowns in the final sec-onds to beat Notre Dame and Indiana,and each thrilling play helps Michi-gan fans shake off the frustration ofRich Rodriguez’s first two seasons asWolverines coach. Michigan (5-0, 1-0) is second in the nation in total of-fense.About 50 miles to the northwest,

Michigan State is in the middle of itsown satisfying winning streak. Robin-son is the biggest threat to that run.“It’s kind of a bend, and then the

other team breaks. ... Guys kind ofget tired of chasing,” said MichiganState linebacker Greg Jones.


The Catawba notebook ...Catawba’s Special Teams

Player of the Week wasScottie Floyd, who hadblocked well and made sev-eral strong kickoff returns.

A special-teams fixturesince last season, the soph-omore has now emerged asa starting cornerback.

“I was on the field 100plays Saturday,” Floyd said.“Eighty on defense, 20 onspecial teams. And justabout every play I was run-ning a long way. It was atrack meet.”

Floyd said coaches arereducing his special-teamsworkload, so he can focuson playing corner. Floyd isonly 5-foot-10, 170 pounds,but he’s proven himselfworthy of a starting role.

“It’s not how big or howfast you are, it’s about howmuch you want to makeplays, and Scottie has thewant-to,” coach Chip Hestersaid.

Floyd made a playagainst Livingstone earlierthis season, returning apick for a touchdown.

“My first college inter-ception and I returned it fora touchdown,” Floyd said. “Iwas going to keep that ball,but it wasn’t a very good ball,so I’ll wait for another one.”

GENE POOL: Floyd is fromAshbrook High in Gastoniaand is the nephew of Eric“Sleepy” Floyd, the famedbasketball guard whoplayed at Gastonia HunterHuss before starring atGeorgetown (the Hoyas lostto UNC in the 1982 champi-onship game) and carvingout a 12-year NBA career.

Scottie was an all-confer-ence performer in basket-ball in high school.

FLOYD VS. FLOYD: Cataw-ba’s Floyd had a few colli-sions on Saturday with

Wingate receiver PerryFloyd, who is his cousin andalso wears No. 3.

“He’s two years older sowe never played againsteach other in high school,”Scottie explained. “We didn’ttalk much Saturday. Onetime he was telling the refsthat I held him, and I toldhim that I didn’t hold him.When he gave me some lip, Ipointed at the scoreboard.”

INJURY REPORT: Catawbadefensive captain BrandonSutton, who has fivesacks,went down with a knee in-jury while making a sackagainst Wingate, but the in-jury may not be as severe asfeared.

Suttonhurt his MCLand is oncrutches, butthe projec-tion is forthe powerfuldefensivetackle to re-turn to dutyin about fourweeks.

“I’ll miss some big gamesthat I hate to miss — likeCarson-Newman,” Suttonsaid. “But the way this teamis playing now, we could bein the playoffs, and I won’tmiss that.”

ReceiverGerronBryant, agreat down-field blocker,sustained ahand injuryagainstWingate andwill practicewith a pro-tective cast,

but isn’t expected to missany games.

NEW FACE: Corey Stew-ard, a true freshman defen-sive end from Chesapeake,Va., is making an impact. Hehad two more sacks on Sat-urday.

“They hada lot of greattalent on hishigh schoolteam, but hiscoaches toldme Coreywas theirsecond-bestplayer, a Di-vision I guyif he was two

inches taller,” Hester said.“He plays the game withpassion.”

PUNTING ISSUES: Catawbahad two punts blocked onSaturday, double disastersthat made it a tight game.

“It was no one guy’sfault,” Hester said. “We’vegot to get it off a little quick-er and protect a little bet-ter.”

DENNIS,THE MENACE:Patrick Den-nis hasthrown ninetouchdownpasses thisseason,boosting hiscareer totalto 36 —against 14 in-terceptions.

He’s sixth on Catawba’sall-time list. He passed 1970shero Donnie Davis on Satur-day.

“Pat is the toughest guy Iknow,” Bunn said. “He’llstand in there, take a hit andstill make the throw.”

DEFENSIVE HONORS: Tack-le Julian Hartsell and line-backer Cory Johnson sharedCatawba’s Defensive Playerof the Week honors.

Hartsellhas fivesacks thisseason, tyingSutton forthe teamlead. John-son leadsCatawbawith 36 tack-les.

NEXT: Catawba plays hostto Brevard on Saturday at1:30 p.m.

Last season’s 7-6 loss atBrevard in amazingly awfulfield conditions still aggra-vates the Indians.

“That was a Mud Bowl,”star receiver Brandon Bunnsaid. “I still think about thatloss every day, and we allwant to show Brevard it wasa fluke.”

Catawba’s Floyd special

He told me it was great tosee how my hard work hadpaid off and he told me thejob’s not done yet. Hewants to see Catawba win aSAC championship.”

Bunn said he Saturdayevening in Charlotte with

his motherand girl-friend, try-ing to comeback toearth afterhis careergame.

Bunn’sfather,Gene, wasinducted

into the Virginia TechSports Hall of Fame in Au-gust. A defensive back, his18 interceptions (1976-78)remain the school recordfor the Hokies. He missedSaturday’s Catawba gamebecause he was working inKentucky, but he called hisson following his amazingeffort.

“He was pretty emotion-al about it,” Bunn said.“He’s got a school record,

and he was happy for methat I broke somerecords.”

Bunn’s 10 catches for aschool-record 247 receiv-ing yards on Saturdaygave him 94 receptions and1,577 yards for his career.

Twelve Catawba playershave reached the 100-catchmilestone, while five Indi-ans have surpassed 2,000yards in receptions.

HELD BY MANY: Bunn’sfour TD receptions againstWingate broke the schoolsingle-game record andwill save Catawba SID JimLewis about four lines inthe 2011 media guide.

On seven occasions,Catawba receivers hadmade three TD catches in agame, but those entrieswere erased on Saturday.

Ike Hill, who played inthe NFL, had two of thosethree-TD games. BuckyPope, another NFL receiver,had one, as did David Rob-bins, who went on to a Hallof Fame career as VirginiaUnion’s basketball coach.

Catawba’s most recentthree-TD game was turnedin by Brent Johnson in the2007 playoffs against Al-bany State.

one-year deal.”•

When Morgan welcomeshis full squad, it could be adangerous one. But he’s notcounting on getting many ofthose bodies until Decem-ber. Salisbury should be a2AA contender in football.

“We expect them to comeout late,” Morgan said of thefootball players. “When theydo, we’ll have a veteran classto keep things the waythey’ve been. We can pick itup right where they left off.It’s a system that works.”

Early in his Salisbury ca-reer, Morgan learned fromwatching head footballcoach Joe Pinyan.

“Joe taught me a lot aboutwinning and how to get kidsto play for you,” he said.

He also credits Maddoxas teaching him the ropes.He considers Maddox hismentor.

Causby knew Morgan hadplayed at a high level in prepbasketball and the young as-

sistant joined Causby’s staff.“Jason’s system is de-

signed to work for the typeof kids we have,” Morgansaid. “For all of these sen-iors, I think it’s the best forthem.”

Morgan loves the chem-istry of his seniors, especial-ly Rankin, the returningCCC Player of the Year.

“Darien is such an un-selfish player, he wants toget his teammates involved,”Morgan said. “But they’re allunselfish. You can see it onthe football field and basket-ball court. They’re bestfriends. So it’s not hard toget them to play together.

“To step in and coach thattype of kid is a real honor.”

Morgan said Causby hasbeen supportive.

“He loves these kids and

wants the best for them,” hesaid.

•Morgan didn’t have high

expectations for the job atfirst, but added, “After I re-alized I might be a candi-date, I prayed about it andthought it might be a goodopportunity.”

Morgan joked about hav-ing to upgrade his wardrobenow that he’s the head man.

“I’ll have to buy a coupleof ties or something,” helaughed.

Knox assures everyonethe Hornets will do whatthey can to make their newcoach look good.

“We’ve been doing this forthree years,” Knox said. “He’sbeen here three years. Weknow what we’re doing but sodoes he. We just have to bringthat all together.”

•NOTES: Curtis Rich will

return as an assistant. ...Causby leaves Salisburywith a 108-55 record. ... Mor-gan will also be counting on6--foot-7 Tyler Petty, who isbattling ankle problems.“He’s gotten stronger and isworking hard,” Morgan said.

The NBA notebook ...MIAMI — LeBron James

walked from the bench mo-ments before tip-off with thetraditional stoic look. Hefilled his hands with rosinpowder, threw it into the airto create a white cloud, thenclapped his hands threetimes.Same as always.Just totally different.Amid the sort of fanfare

hardly ever associated witha meaningless preseasongame, James took the floorwith the Miami Heat for thefirst time Tuesday night inthe exhibition openeragainst the Detroit Pistons.The NBA’s two-time reign-ing MVP joined Miami thissummer, spurning a chanceto stay with Cleveland anddeciding he wanted to teamup with Chris Bosh andDwyane Wade instead.“The season,” James said,

“is back.”And a mere 3:17 into the

season, there was the firstproblem: Wade limped offthe floor, heading to thelocker room for evaluationabout five minutes later witha strained right hamstringand was ruled out for therest of the night.The Big 3 lasted a big

three minutes.No matter: James just

took over.He put much of his reper-

toire on display in the earlygoing: no-look passes, drivesto the rim, 3-pointers, even

definitely defensively,which allowed us to get whatwe want — to get out andrun,” James told NBA TV.

CLEVELAND — The are-na, so row-dy and ram-bunctious ins e a s o n s

past, was just half-filled andas quiet as it had been inyears. There were no gravity-defying dunks or flamesshooting from the scoreboard,and the only pregame powdertoss took place 1,200 milesaway.In Miami, LeBron James

started anew.In Cleveland, the Cavaliers

started over.Daniel Gibson scored 18

points and J.J. Hickson added17 as the Cavs, under newcoach Byron Scott, moved alittle further away fromJames’ imposing shadow byopening the preseason with an87-72 victory over the Char-lotte Bobcats on Tuesdaynight.D.J. Augustin scored 14

points and Tyrus Thomas had11 points and nine rebounds

for Charlotte, which scoredjust 25 points in the secondhalf.Ramon Sessions added 11

points and five assists for theCavs.It was Cleveland’s first

home game since Game 5 oflast season’s playoffs, when adisinterested James, on theeve of his free agency exit,missed 11-of-14 shots and wasvisibly out of sorts in a 120-88loss to the Boston Celtics —the Cavs’ most lopsided everin the postseason.James left for the Heat two

months later, crushing thehopes of Cleveland fans whofigured he would stay aroundlong enough to win a title.Now, they’ll chase a cham-

pionship without the two-timeleague MVP and leading scor-er in team history.It’s going to be tough.Bobcats coach Larry

Brown, who coached Scott atIndiana, doesn’t buy into theidea that the Cavaliers willdrop off the map.“I was taken aback all sum-

mer reading the papers aboutLeBron leaving because hedidn’t have any good team-mates,” Brown said. “I used tohear people say that. I neverheard LeBron say that. I wasthinking Varejao, (Antawn)Jamison, Williams, (Anthony)Parker, Hickson. They gotsome work to do, but they gotsome good pieces. They’ve gota phenomenal owner andthey’ll figure it out.”Brown was without regu-

EL CAJON, Calif. — Jim-mie Johnson likes to giveback to his hometown, thencome back to see how themoney is spent.On Tuesday, that meant

pulling into a school yard ina replica of his No. 48Chevrolet, thrilling severalhundred students at Emer-ald STEM Magnet MiddleSchool in this blue-collarcommunity on the easternedge of San Diego’s subur-ban sprawl.A few minutes later,

Johnson and his wife, Chan-dra, were in the automationand robotics lab watching13-year-old J.T. Duboisedemonstrate a computer-controlled model car.Duboise told Johnson he

thought about adding a horn,then decided against it.“Who wants a horn?”

Johnson replied, reassuringthe eighth grader that hiscar was just fine.The lab, which includes a

new computer system, wasbuilt with $100,000 from theJimmie Johnson Founda-tion/Lowe’s Toolbox for Edu-cation Champions Grants. Itwas the largest of nearly$500,000 worth of grants dis-tributed in the San Diego

area from the proceeds fromJohnson’s 2009 golf tourna-ment and dinner-auction.He’ll host this year’s golftournament on Wednesdayin Del Mar.“Today’s the best day,”

said Johnson, who made thevisit during a brief breakfrom his pursuit of a fifthstraight NASCAR Sprint Cupchampionship. “It’s a funjourney to put together anevent to raise the money, butthen when you’re able togrant the money, you experi-ence a good high from that.To actually come and see themoney after it’s been put inplay is a whole new experi-ence.“It’s just amazing to see it

come together,” Johnsonsaid. “It makes me kind ofwant to go back to school.This looks like a lot of fun. Ithink we were just trying tofigure out how to type inschool, and now kids arerunning software programs,CAD programs. It’s prettyamazing to see how ad-vanced kids are.”Although the Johnsons

live in Charlotte, N.C., thedriver hasn’t forgotten hishometown, where he had amodest upbringing. Hismother drove a school busand his father operated

heavy equipment. His dadworked in the racing com-munity, which led to the songetting his start.Johnson’s foundation has

given another $400,000 ingrants to schools in Oklaho-ma, Chandra’s home state,and North Carolina.“Those three points of in-

terest for us warm ourhearts and really occupy alot of our free time, trying toraise the money, select thegrants, and come and visitthe schools and see what’sgoing on,” Johnson said. “It’sbeen a lot of fun.”Duboise, who wants to be

a mechanical engineer, saidhe didn’t know a lot aboutJohnson or NASCAR until hebuilt his car in the lab.“I thought it was really

great that he came back andhelped his people,” Duboisesaid. “Jimmie Johnson, inmy opinion, is a very gener-ous, giving and wonderfulman. He’s really changedmy life.”Getting to show off his

car to Johnson “was like adream,” Duboise said.“He’s a race car driver, andI got to show him a modelof an actual car, so we kindof like corresponded and

like, he understood every-thing I was saying. I actu-ally got to talk to a famousperson. It was just like,crazy.”The next race in the Chase

for the Sprint Cup champi-onship is Sunday at Fontana,Johnson’s home track.“The season’s been tough

on us,” Johnson said.“We’ve had our slow spots.These last two weeks we’vehad great finishes, but theywere very, very long week-ends trying to find speed inthe car. But we’re getting itdone when it counts and col-lecting points.”

LEBRON JAMES

Bobcats openwith a defeat

LeBron’s next chapter begins in Miamiwho will throw an ace of their own under theroof at Tropicana Field. David Price has blos-somed into the elite starter almost everyoneexpected, going 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA for theAL East champions.First pitch, 1:37 p.m. EDT.“Should be a pretty fun matchup to

watch,” said Rays third baseman Evan Lon-goria, all set to play after missing the final10 games of the regular season with astrained left quadriceps.Texas’ dangerous lineup features playoff

newcomers Josh Hamilton and MichaelYoung, but the Rangers are the only currentmajor league franchise that hasn’t won aplayoff series.Lee was acquired from Seattle in July to

help change that. The left-hander went 4-0with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts forthe Phillies last year.“I expect as much out of myself as any-

one expects out of me. You can call it pres-sure, call it what you want. But I’m not nerv-ous or worried or any of those kind of wordsthat would go along with pressure,” Lee saidTuesday. “I’m looking forward to it, and it’sgoing to be a challenge and a lot of fun.”Next up, Halladay and the Phillies host

Cincinnati at 5:07 p.m. EDT.With three aces in the rotation and a play-

off-tested team, Philadelphia is heavily fa-vored to reach its third consecutive WorldSeries. The last National League club to dothat was the St. Louis Cardinals from 1942-44.But the Reds, led by Votto, a top contender

for NL MVP, can slug with just about any-body and they have an overpowering arm tobring out of the bullpen in rookie AroldisChapman.Halladay, obtained from Toronto last De-

cember, will be making his playoff debut af-ter 13 stellar seasons. He’ll face EdinsonVolquez, who returned this year from rightelbow surgery and went 4-3 with a 4.31 ERAin 12 starts.

Cincinnati, winner of the NL Central, isin the postseason for the first time since1995.“I could sit here forever and talk about

Halladay,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuelsaid. “He’s very dedicated, he’s very intense,he wants to win, he definitely wants a ring.He wants to be the best pitcher in baseball,but he also wants to be on the best team. Hedefinitely puts his team before himself, andhe’s definitely inspirational to all of our play-ers and he plays a big role in the makeup ofour team.”The 8:37 p.m. game is a familiar matchup.

Sabathia and the Yankees face AL Centralchampion Minnesota in a first-round seriesfor the fourth time since 2003.New York won all three previous meet-

ings, including last year en route to its 27thWorld Series title, but this time the Twinshave homefield advantage at their spaciousnew ballpark, Target Field.Wednesday night will mark the first out-

door postseason game in Minnesota since1970, and the temperature is supposed to bein the 60s.“It’s hard not to look at the past, that is

pretty obvious,” Twins first baseman MichaelCuddyer said. “But it’s a totally differentteam than those first two times we playedthe Yankees.”It might be a different New York team

than last season, too. Derek Jeter and theYankees staggered to a 9-17 finish that costthem the AL East crown.Francisco Liriano pitches the opener for

the Twins, who hung a picture in their club-house of the back page of a recent (NewYork) Daily News that read “Bad news:Yanks must go on road for playoffs. Goodnews: They play the Twins. E-Z Pass.”“We tried to wrap this thing up and didn’t

get it done,” said Andy Pettitte, who will startGame 2 for New York. “The bottom line iswe’re the world champs until someoneknocks us off.”All division series are best-of-five. The

fourth matchup gets under way Thursdaynight, when retiring manager Bobby Cox andhis wild-card Atlanta Braves play at NL Westchampion San Francisco.

The Major League notebook ...ATLANTA — Derek Lowe wasn’t ready

to look past his Game 1 start for the Bravesagainst the Giants in the NL division serieson Tuesday.At least not in public.Manager Bobby Cox said Lowe, Tommy

Hanson and Tim Hudson are the Braves’first three starters in the series. Lowe willstart in Thursday’s Game 1 at San Francis-co against Tim Lincecum.Cox said Lowe or rookie Brandon

Beachy would start if a fourth game isneeded. Lowe would be pitching on threedays’ rest but would likely lobby with Coxto make the start.“I’ve already talked to him about it, and

I’ll leave it at that,” a smiling Lowe saidfollowing Tuesday’s workout at TurnerField.Lowe is peaking just in time for the

postseason.He was 5-0 with a 1.17 ERA in his last

five starts.“If he throws like he’s been throwing his

last five starts, he’ll pitch a great ball-game,” Cox said.

back to 21-18 before Redmond

slammed the door with twoquick kills and a block.In Game 2, Carson got great

early serves from AngelaTalerico (six straight points)and a flurry at the net by Black-well. It was 7-1 Cougars and thegym was loud when Tribblecalled timeout.“Part of that timeout was just

to get us to refocus,” she ex-plained. “Part of it was strate-gy. Carson has girls that canget up and I could see it was go-ing to be a battle all day at thenet. They were getting touch-es on balls that are normallykills for us, but we talked aboutthe things that were open. Wejust had to think a little bitmore, go around the blocks andfind the holes.”Carson managed to stretch

its lead to 12-4 before NorthIredell made its adjustmentsand roared back.The Raiders caught up at 14-

all on a kill by Redmond andtook the lead for good at 15-14on a combo block by Redmondand Leah Wells.Carson also started well in

Game 3, but the Cougars led forthe final time at 10-9.“I think we’re good, but

they’re very good and they’rebetter than us,” Rogers said.“The positive was that we real-ly tried to fight them today. Wemade too many mistakes, butthey are mistakes we’ve still gota little time to fix.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — SouthCarolina coach Steve Spurri-er says he can’t think about in-dividual honors, not with No.1 Alabama coming to town.Spurrier’s next Southeast-

ern Conference win would behis 107th. That would movehim out a tie for second withOle Miss great JohnnyVaught. Alabama icon Paul“Bear” Bryant is the confer-ence’s all-time leader with 159league wins.But Spurrier says the 19th-

ranked Gamecocks (3-1, 1-1SEC) will have their hands fullon Saturday against the Crim-son Tide and Nick Saban, Al-abama’s current nationalchampionship coach. Alabama(5-0, 2-0) has won 19 straightgames, including last week’s31-6 victory over Florida.“We’re not talking about or

worrying about that rightnow,” Spurrier said Tuesday.“Hopefully, we can win anoth-er conference game some-where as we go through.”For the 19th-ranked Game-

cocks, it will be their biggesttest of the year. South Caroli-na has never beaten an oppo-

nent ranked higher than No. 4— the Gamecocks toppedfourth-ranked Ole Miss 16-10last season — and Spurrier ishopeful the team can find theeffort to hang with the defend-ing national champions.“The opportunity’s there,”

Spurrier said.Spurrier, in his 18th SEC

season between Florida andthe Gamecocks, has steadilypushed himself up among theleague’s most celebratedcoaching names since return-ing to the league with SouthCarolina in 2005.The Gamecocks have won

19 SEC games under Spurri-er. They posted just 36 leaguewins in 13 SEC seasons beforehe took over.Spurrier broke a tie for

third with Georgia greatVince Dooley when South Car-olina upset the Bulldogs 17-6on Sept. 11. Now he has achance to break the tie withOle Miss’ Johnny Vaught forNo. 2.He could have had his mile-

stone win already, but theGamecocks squandered a 20-7 lead at Auburn and lost 35-27 in their last game on Sept.25. Spurrier said South Caroli-

na used the bye week to con-centrate on fundamentals andcorrect the mistakes thatproved costly against Auburn.“You can sense the sense of

urgency in everybody,”Gamecocks safety DeVonteHolloman said. “We know it’sa big game and everybody’strying to do the right thing.”For offensive-minded

Spurrier, that means match-ing wits with Saban, perhapsthe SEC’s foremost defensiveauthority. The two faced offtwice when Spurrier was atFlorida and Saban at LSU in2000 and 2001, the Gatorspounding the Tigers 41-9 and44-15.Saban’s Crimson Tide took

a 20-6 win over Spurrier andthe Gamecocks last fall.“We looked like we were a

lot smarter than he was thefirst two games,” Spurriersaid. “But recently, he was alot smarter than I was lastyear, let’s put it that way. Whoknows who’s going to be thesmartest this year?”

MINNEAPOLIS — TheNew England Patriots andVikings are discussing atrade that would bring starreceiver Randy Moss back toMinnesota.A league source spoke to

The Associated Press on con-dition of anonymity on Tues-day night because he was notauthorized to speak publiclyabout the negotiations.The seven-time Pro

Bowler was a first-rounddraft pick of the Vikings in1998 and spent his first sev-en seasons in the NFL withMinnesota. He was traded toOakland in 2005 and lan-guished for two years beforebeing revitalized in New Eng-land.Moss set an NFL record

with 23 touchdown receptionsin 2007. But he has said sev-eral times this year that heexpected 2010 to be his lastseason with the Patriots.“When you have done so

much and put so much workin, it kind of feels like I amnot wanted,” Moss said inSeptember. “I am taking thatin stride and playing my finalyear out and whatever the fu-ture holds is what it holds, butit is kind of a bad feeling —feeling not wanted. It is notlike my production has gonedown.”Moss caught 98 passes for

1,493 yards in his first season

with New England in 2007. Hehad 69 catches for 1,008 yardsand 11 TDs in 2008, when TomBrady suffered a season-end-ing knee injury early in theyear and came back with 83catches for 1,264 yards and 13scores last season.Foxsports.com first report-

ed the discussions.Moss is in the last season

of his contract and has madeno secret about his desire fora new deal, and believed hewould have to go elsewhere toget one.It was not immediately

known if the Vikings had en-tered into discussions withMoss for a long-term deal orif that would affect his desireto be traded back to the placewhere his career began.The Vikings sure could use

him.Pro Bowl receiver Sidney

Rice will miss at least the firstsix weeks of the season be-cause of a hip injury and Per-cy Harvin has struggled allseason with migraineheadaches.Without the deep threat

that he had in Rice, quarter-back Brett Favre’s productionhas dropped dramatically.The Vikings have lost two oftheir first three games andtheir receiving group lacksthe prototypical big-play re-ceiver who can out-jumpsmaller cornerbacks for pass-es down the field.That’s Moss in a nutshell.

Moss immediately ener-gized a lagging franchisewhen he was chosen in thefirst round in 1998. He aver-aged 19.0 yards per catch andhauled in 17 TDs as a rookieto help the team reach theNFC title game. His first sea-son coincided with a string ofsellouts at the drabMetrodome that remains go-ing to this day.The move would no doubt

delight Favre, who will turn41 later this month. He open-ly campaigned for the Pack-ers to acquire Moss towardthe end of his time in GreenBay. But the Patriots ulti-mately ended up parting withjust a fourth-round pick topry Moss away from theRaiders, and Favre privatelyfumed at the swing and missby the Green Bay front of-fice.Favre was traded to the

Jets a year later and signed atwo-year deal with theVikings last season.

WINSTON-SALEM — Wake For-est’s quarterback situation remainsa question mark.Because of mounting injuries at

that position, coach Jim Grobe sayshe probably won’t settle on a starterfor the Navy game until later thisweek.“I would say we’ll just let the kids

practice this week and figure out af-ter Thursday where we are,” Grobesaid Tuesday.Grobe said freshman Tanner

Price, who was knocked out of hissecond career start with a concus-sion, is “probably going to get thelion’s share of the snaps ... becausehe’s now the healthy one of the

group.”The team’s depth chart released

later Tuesday listed the starter as ei-ther Price or Skylar Jones, withBrendan Cross behind them.Price, who returned to practice

Monday night, was held out of lastweek’s Georgia Tech loss as a pre-caution after he was hurt the weekbefore at Florida State.The Demon Deacons (2-3, 1-2

ACC) wound up being down to theirfourth QB against the Yellow Jack-ets in Jones, who isn’t a typical No.4 quarterback — he was, after all,listed as the starter following springdrills. He played through turf toe butfinished the game, completing 9 of20 passes for 105 yards in his firstextended game action at quarter-

back.He entered after starter Ted

Stachitas left with back pain andCross injured his nonthrowingshoulder when he was tackledwhile scrambling. Grobe said Tues-day that Stachitas might miss 3-4weeks with a fractured bone in hisback.“I think our focus is probably (to)

get Brendan healthy, let Sky do asmuch as he can and kind of play thatby ear, see how he feels runningaround, and then try to get Tanneras much work as possible,” Grobesaid.The position has been a revolving

door all season, one reason why theDemon Deacons have lost threestraight entering the matchup with

Navy (2-2).Stachitas started the first two

games, both wins, but injured hisnonthrowing hand against Duke.Price started the following twogames — both road losses to teamscurrently ranked in the Top 25, No.16 Stanford and No. 23 Florida State— before he was hurt against theSeminoles.“Every quarterback they have, A,

can run and is dangerous with thefootball in their hands, and, B, canthrow the ball effectively,” Navy de-fensive coordinator Buddy Greensaid. “Whatever quarterback playscan execute the offense. All the quar-terbacks have played all season longand done a good job.”The lack of continuity at quarter-

back is an unfamiliar position forWake Forest, which relied on RileySkinner for virtually four full sea-sons.“It’s new to me as well, because

I’ve never seen that in all the yearsI’ve been here,” senior running backJosh Adams said. “I don’t know whatthe problem is, or why they’ve beenhurt, what the deal is, but hopefullythis week all the quarterbacks areback in the rotation.“Riley had a lot of experience,”

Adams added. “He knew when andwhen not to take some hits. Once theguys understand that and under-stand the importance of the job, andslide instead of going head-first, thenwe’ll be able to keep some quarter-backs healthy.”

PITTSBURGH — Tenseconds were all Ben Roeth-lisberger needed to prove tothe Pittsburgh Steelers hewasn’t affected by his monthaway from the NFL.On the first pass he threw

Tuesday in his first post-sus-pension practice, Roethlis-berger found fast wide re-ceiver Mike Wallace fardownfield for an over-the-shoulder catch of a perfect-ly thrown football.Right about then, his

teammates probably werethinking the same thing: Benis back.“We have our whole team

here, and we have our leader— our quarterback — backwith us,” Wallace said. “Hemakes everybody better. Theoffense is definitely going togo in another direction.”Roethlisberger showed

no rustiness or lack ofrhythm in his first practicesince training camp, zippingpasses throughout a 30-minute passing drill that wasincorporated into the prac-tice to quickly get him andhis receivers back in sync.“It was a good step, and I

don’t think it’ll take as longas I thought,” Roethlisberg-er said.He’ll have two more prac-

tice days during this byeweek to regain his timing

and precision, followed by afull work week before theOct. 17 home game againstCleveland.“It normally takes a while

to get going out there, but itfelt pretty good,” Roethlis-berger said. “I knew that myarm would be good. I knewit would be strong, and Iknew it would feel good. It’sjust a matter of workingwith the guys.”Since last being with the

team on Sept. 2, Roethlis-berger threw almost daily toa collection of receivers athigh school stadiums.Wallace, the team’s

fastest receiver, couldn’t re-member Roethlisbergerthrowing a bad pass duringthe entire practice.“We’re going to throw the

ball because we’ve got oneof the best guys back,” Wal-lace said. “So I’m excited.I’ve been smiling. Ever sincelast night, I’ve been smil-ing.”Despite having the

league’s No. 31 passing of-fense with fill-in quarter-backs Charlie Batch andDennis Dixon, the Steelerscame out of Roethlisberger’sfour-game suspension aboutas good as could be expect-ed with a 3-1 record. Appar-ently, the quarterback him-self came out of the suspen-sion about as good as couldbe expected, too.

NFL Players Associationexecutive director DeMau-rice Smith sees new signsthat owners are preparingfor a football-free 2011.With support from Pack-ers quarterback AaronRodgers, he asked fans totake the players’ side.Speaking at a tailgate-

style fan luncheon a fewblocks from LambeauField on Tuesday, Smithreferred to a recentSports Business Journalreport that said the NFL isrequiring banks that lendmoney to its teams to ex-tend grace periods forloan defaults through theend of the 2011 season inthe event of a lockout.“That to me is a step

where the owners are pro-tecting themselves in theevent that there is no sea-son,” Smith said.

LYNCH TRADEDSEATTLE — The Buf-

falo Bills gave up on Mar-shawn Lynch as their fea-tured ball carrier on Tues-day, trading him to Seattlefor a pair of undiscloseddraft picks. That clearsthe way to give more play-ing time for Fred Jacksonand first-round draft pickC.J. Spiller in the Buffalobackfield.

N.C. invesigators interview WichardAssociated Press

The college notebook ...RALEIGH — Investigators with the

North Carolina Secretary of State’s officehave interviewed NFL agent Gary Wichardas part of their probe into whether thestate’s sports agent laws were broken.His attorney Howard Silber said Tuesday

night that Wichard spoke to the investiga-tors via teleconference for roughly twohours earlier that day, but declined furthercomment.Elaine Marshall’s office launched its

probe in July, shortly after the NCAA beganinvestigating the football program at NorthCarolina. The NCAA’s probe initially fo-cused on agent-related benefits, but expand-ed to include possible academic violationsinvolving a tutor.Wichard’s longtime friendship with for-

mer Tar Heels assistant coach John Blakehas been a key part of the investigations.

CLEMSONCLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson coach Dabo

Swinney has been here before. And everytime his team has responded to a few toughlosses with season-saving winning streaks.So Swinney said Tuesday he’s using his

team’s 2-2 start with losses to No. 8 Auburnand No. 13 Miami as a life lesson.“Life is about adversity. But the whole

key to it is when adversity comes, you ei-ther get bitter or you get better. It’s either astepping stone or a stumbling block,” Swin-ney said. “That choice that you decide tomake, how you react to it — that’s what mat-ters.”They are the same lessons the players re-

sponded to two years ago when they wonthree in a row to get Swinney the Clemsonjob permanently and last season when a 2-3

team won six in a row to make it to the At-lantic Coast Conference championshipgame. Swinney thinks this team can respondwell to adversity too.The Tigers have a pivotal game Saturday

with a North Carolina team that is also 2-2,but has won two in a row.

FLORIDA REGROUPSGAINESVILLE, Fla. — Following a loss

at Auburn in 2006, Florida players were an-gry. They responded by winning the rest oftheir games and the national title.Following a home loss to Mississippi in

2008, the Gators were dejected. They ralliedaround quarterback Tim Tebow, won outagain and picked up another national cham-pionship.How did this year’s team react following

Saturday night’s 31-6 drubbing at top-ranked Alabama?Coach Urban Meyer says the group was a

“combination of both.”Meyer says several team leaders stood

up in the locker room in Tuscaloosa, Ala.,and expressed their feelings. He adds that,“You have to be a real man to back every-thing up.”No. 14 Florida gets a chance to back

everything up Saturday night against No. 12LSU.

MICHIGAN STATEEAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan

State coach Mark Dantonio expects to travelwith the team for this weekend’s game atMichigan as he recovers from a mild heartattack and subsequent blood clot in his leg.“You can’t keep me down Michigan

week,” Dantonio said to begin a news con-ference Tuesday. “It’s good to be back —again.”Dantonio had a heart attack Sept. 19 and

missed two games.

12B • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2010 C O M I C S SALISBURY POST

BY BRUCE DANCISScripps Howard News Service

Baseball has always re-flected the culture and socie-ty in which it exists, for bet-ter and for worse. As docu-mentary filmmakers KenBurns and Lynn Novickshowed in “Baseball,” theirwonderful nine-part PBS se-ries from 1994, our nationalpastime has had its cyclicaldark sides and positive eras.The cheating and gamblingthat was so prevalent in theearly decades of the 20th cen-tury led to a “fixed” World Se-ries in 1919, but was alsoquickly followed by the emer-gence of Babe Ruth as a na-tional sports hero.While racial segregation

shamefully kept African-Americans out of the majorleagues from the 1880sthrough 1947, the game’s inte-gration helped push the widerAmerican society to end legaldiscrimination, leading tobaseball’s “golden age” of the1950s and ‘60s. Burns andNovick ended their series ona note of optimism, as baseballappeared to be entering a newera of unparalleled perform-ance and popularity.Now Burns and Novick,

plus co-writer/co-producerDavid McMahon, havebrought the story of baseballup to 2009 in their two-part

documentary “The Tenth In-ning.” After airing over twonights on PBS stations lastweek, the four-hour seriescomes to DVD and Blu-raythis week (two discs, PBSHome Video/ParamountHome Entertainment,$24.99/$29.99 Blu-ray, not rat-ed). A new, complete 11-discset of “Baseball,” including“The Tenth Inning,” is alsoavailable, for $99.99.There’s a lot of ground to

cover in these years, and thefilmmakers haven’t lost theirtouch. In rapid (but not tooquick) succession, “The TenthInning” examines thestrike/lockout of 1994, whichresulted in the premature endof that season and the cancel-lation of the World Series(something World Wars I andII failed to do); the continuingrise of international players— not just from Latin Ameri-ca, but from the Pacific Rimas well; the expansion of theplayoff system, giving manymore teams the chance to wina World Series; the construc-tion of new, more intimateballparks in many cities; theimpact of 9/11; the creation ofnew baseball statistics to bet-ter evaluate players’ ability;and the rise and (hopefully)fall of the steroid era, whichcoincided with an unparal-leled surge in power hitting.As before, the best teams

and players receive the mostattention. Burns admits in aDVD interview that he madethis additional film to cele-brate his favorite team, theBoston Red Sox, finally end-ing the New York Yankees’dominance in 2004. Whilethere is a lot here about theRed Sox, the team’s torturedhistory and its historic ball-park, Fenway Park, “TheTenth Inning” dutifullyrecords the resurgence of theYankees under Joe Torre’sleadership in the late 1990sand early 2000s, the NationalLeague dominance of the At-lanta Braves and other cham-pionship teams of note. Theachievements of such greatplayers as Cal Ripken Jr.,Greg Maddux, Pedro Mar-tinez and Ichiro Suzuki are de-tailed (Martinez and Suzukiare among those featured inonscreen interviews), alongwith the memorable, record-setting assaults on RogerMaris’ and Henry Aaron’shome-run records by MarkMcGwire, Sammy Sosa and,later, Barry Bonds.Without blinders but with

an understanding of howAmericans as a whole have be-come reliant on various prod-ucts to enhance our appear-ances and libidos, “The TenthInning” incisively confrontsthe effect on baseball of manyof the games’ best players us-

ing performance-enhancingdrugs. Indeed, the recountingof great players who havebeen implicated in this type ofcheating — from McGwire,Sosa and Bonds to RogerClemens, Alex Rodriguez andManny Ramirez — reminds ushow commonplace it became.Yet the long historical per-spective of Burns and compa-ny also shows how this formof cheating relates to the“thrown games” and illegalpitches (especially the spit-ball) of older times, as well asthe use of amphetamines andcocaine by players in the1970s and ‘80s.As in the original series —

and in Burns’ historical doc-umentaries in general — thefilmmakers combine vintagephotographs and filmfootage with interviews offormer players, baseball of-ficials and knowledgeablejournalists. Where the orig-inal series introduced somevery entertaining commen-tators on baseball — espe-cially Buck O’Neil, a formerNegro League player andmanager and the firstAfrican-American coach inthe majors, historian DorisKearns Goodwin and writerSteve Early, “The Tenth In-ning” brings in some new,engaging voices, includingsportswriters HowardBryant and Tom Verducci.

Sacramento Bee columnistMarcos Breton (full disclo-sure: Breton is a friend andformer colleague of thiswriter) may be the most valu-able new addition to the se-ries, as he provides expertand moving comments onseveral of the key issues ofthis era. These include the ex-panding role of Latin-Ameri-can ballplayers in the majors,the widespread use ofsteroids and human growthhormones by players (and thebelated effort by the players’union and baseball officialsto eliminate them), and thespectacular and controversialcareer of the San FranciscoGiants’ Barry Bonds.The DVD and Blu-ray edi-

tions of “The Tenth Inning”deliver even more worth-while material than what wasshown on PBS. In addition tothe aforementioned inter-view with Burns (andNovick), bonus features in-clude deleted scenes aboutDodger Town (the spring-training home of the Los An-geles Dodgers in VeroBeach, Fla.), two homages toFenway Park, footage of kidsplaying baseball in NewYork’s Central Park andsome expanded material andinterviews about baseball inthe Dominican Republic.The discs also provide

outtakes — some of which

are quite revealing and in-formative — from many ofthe interviews included inthe series. They offer new in-sights into such matters asthe Yankees-Red Sox rivalryand the complex combina-tion of talent, ego and orner-iness that made up Bonds.There’s one other way in

which baseball, in Burns’word, “mirrors” Americansociety. We Americans are asentimental, nostalgic peo-ple — qualities that baseballfans have in abundance. Welove and are perpetually fas-cinated by baseball’s histo-ry, its statistics, its heroesand even a few of its villains.Baseball connects us to ourgrandparents, parents, chil-dren and peers. These ele-ments, particularly thegame’s intergenerational ap-peal, are presented with elo-quence and warmth inBurns’ “Baseball” and itsworthy update, “The TenthInning.”

SALISBURY POST T V / H O R O S C O P E WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2010 • 13B

Wednesday, Oct. 6Conditions that could have an effect upon

your work or career might be subject to manytwists and turns in the next solar cycle. Stayalert and mind the store so that nothing im-portant will be manipulated to another per-son’s advantage.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There may bemany times when it is OK to experiment a bitwith taking some shortcuts or making somenew innovations. However, if you see that it’snot one of those times, stick to proven meth-ods.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A loss of respectand acceptance is possible if you are thought-less or rude when dealing with your pals. Beextra mindful about your social graces wheninvolved in activities with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take carenot to be overly controlling with someone wholooks to you for guidance and encouragement.Your well-intentioned efforts might hinderthis person’s personality instead of helping.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Just becausesomeone is particularly knowledgeable in onespecific area, it doesn’t make him/her an ex-pert in all other fields. Be discerning aboutwhat advice to take seriously.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Although you’renot apt to be careless with your resources orprized possessions, there is a possibility thatsomeone you believe to be OK is not trustwor-thy. Don’t get taken.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Try not to betoo dependent on someone whom you reallydon’t know too well. There’s a possibility thatyou’ll think this person is in your corner, butlooks can be deceiving.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Before takingon any favors for another, be conscious of thecomplexities of the burden you’re assuming.Once you get into things, you might find your-self in over your head.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you findsomeone within your inner circle of associ-ates to be extremely difficult to get along with,watch your step. If you cross swords, thingscould easily get out of hand.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — The methods toachieve an unusual objective you establishcould be untested, complicated and turn outto be far more troublesome than you bar-gained for. Try to be practical.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Most legal doc-uments have many complicated clauses andshould be read very carefully and thorough-ly. Don’t affix your signature to anything thatyou don’t understand or of which you are du-bious.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Unless you are ex-tremely careful and guarded when it comesto financial matters, you could get drawn intosomething for which you’ll be held account-able for any losses that ensue.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Independencecan be an admirable trait, but it shouldn’t beapplied to a situation that requires teamworkand lots of cooperation. Be willing to bend abit when it comes to the needs at hand.
