Q. A couple of weeks ago you wrote about run-ning shoes and orthotics, I am reading a lot aboutbarefoot running. What is your take on it?

A. It is an interesting subject, that is for sure.Personally, I am not one who kicks off her shoes

the minute she gets home to walk barefoot the restof the evening. I am also one whohurts when doing a barefoot runon the beach. I tried, but for my runs I enjoy

running shoes. However, I havealso heard of people who startedbarefoot running and are doingwonderful and love it. I have heard things from peo-

ple who gave up wearing shoeslike, “I used to have shin splints allthe time” and “My knees werehurting,” or “I kept pulling mus-cles.”

My personal opinion is keep doing whateverworks for you. If you love it, and it has helped allkind of issues, more power to you. If you lovewearing your running shoes and don’t want to runbarefooted, I am right there with you. If you have no clue what I am talking about, let

me explain.There is all kinds of interesting reading mate-

rial about barefoot running. The first time I readabout it was in the February issue of RunnersWorld. They called it a “running” debate betweentwo sides of a very “hot topic.”Ken Bob Saxton, a barefoot running pioneer,

and Kevin Kirby, a sports podiatrist-biomechan-ics, took sides on the whole debate. Saxton said ithas been the best thing for him, a process of be-ing more interactively involved in running. Hemet runners who would get hurt all the time un-til they started barefoot running. The Born to Runbook has encouraged a lot of runners to try it. Kirby responded that he had no problem with

people running occasionally barefoot on safe sur-faces such as grass. But he worries about injuriessuch as puncture wounds, infections and lacera-tions of vital parts of the bottom of the feet. Hehas seen a lot more Achilles tendon injuries amongrunners who were naturally rear foot strikers(landing on their heel first).Vibram Five finger shoes are a popular mini-

malist shoe that many bare footers are using toprevent punctures. It is like a glove for your toesand the bottom is made of rubber. The first timeI saw one of these toe shoes was at our first StrongMan competition. This year’s Strongman compe-tition had at least 10 people wearing them.In the Army Times newspaper, Oct. 11, it said,

“Marine Corps leaders say no problem. Navy lead-ers say no way. Top Air Force leaders havecleared them for takeoff. Army officials havebanned them from PT test over worries it givessome soldiers an unfair advantage.”Other advantages I found are forefoot striking

first strengthens the muscles in your foot if you’rerunning barefoot. It may use less energy becauseyou use the natural springs in your foot.Disadvantages are that thick soled shoes are

much more forgiving when running over glass,sharp objects, etc. If you are a natural heel strik-er, it will take more time and much work to trainthe body to forefoot or midfoot strike, and the run-ner might be at greater risk of developing Achillestendon issues.So “my take” on it is, do as much research as

possible, find out what “foot strike” you have andif you still want to try going barefoot, start slow-ly and on nice soft grass. Just remember not toget caught up in a “fad” that can be a life chang-ing, wonderful thing for some, and an open doorto all kinds of problems and injuries for other.

Ester Marsh is associate executive and healthand fitness director of the J.F. Hurley FamilyYMCA.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The Uni-versity of North Carolina HealthCare System says keeping its onlyheart surgeon is worth the cost ofdoubling his salary.The News & Observer of Raleigh

reported Sunday that the hospitalwill pay Brett Sheridan $600,000 ayear — an increase of $335,000 andmore than any other heart surgeonhas earned at UNC’s hospital.Hospital chief executive Bill Rop-

er says it would have been morecostly to the hospital to lose its soleadult-heart surgeon. That wouldhave meant UNC Hospitals wouldhave been temporarily unable to doheart transplants, valve replace-ments and other surgical proce-dures.Roper says Sheridan’s salary

comes from clinical revenue, nottaxpayer dollars.An American Medical Group As-

sociation survey showed that the av-erage salary for a cardiac or tho-racic surgeon is $533,084.

Cook said hemissed the tight-knit atmosphereof communitypolicing.

“I can go towork today andfeel like I’m goingto work with myfamily,” he said.

Granite Quarry Mayor Mary Ponds said thefoundation Adams built is strong and she expectsCook to add to it.

“He can move us to higher heights and greaterlevels of expertise,” she said, “with advancementsin community service and in knowledge so thatour force can be the best.”

• • • During his first month on the job, Cook defined

specific goals for the police authority, which hassix full-time and 12 part-time officers.

He doesn’t anticipate making any drasticchanges, but does want to streamline operations.

“The things I want to change have nothing todo with what has been done in the past,” he said.“There is a lot of good infrastructure already inplace.”

Cook said updating the policies and procedureswill provide clearer accountability standards thatwill align the department to apply for accredita-tion from the Commission on Accreditation forLaw Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

“(Accreditation) makes the agency account-able to itself and the town and makes it runsmoother and more transparently,” he said.

• • • Cook said right now the agency is focusing on

putting a halt to the steady stream of larceniesin the area. He said in many cases people arebreaking and entering into homes and only tak-ing jewelry.

“It’s a pretty widespread problem right now,”he said.

Cook said working in two small towns can haveadvantages when it comes to preventing crimes.

“People generally know who doesn’t belong,”he said. “If they see something suspicious, theycan call us and we’ll come check it out. “

The agency has ramped up its patrol of resi-dential areas during daytime hours, when manyof the larcenies occur.

“A lot of these crimes are taking place whilepeople are away at work,” Cook said.

• • • Cook said another one of his short-term goals

is adding more officers to the staff so that at leasttwo are on duty 24/7.

“We’re going to focus on applying for grantsand looking into different funding sources,” hesaid. “Right now, there’s not a lot of money avail-able so grants will be a big help.”

He would also like to hire another officer sothat work can be delegated from the agency’s ser-geants.

“I’d like to have them spend more time out onpatrol, following up and less time doing paper-work,” Cook said.

Finding ways to reduce cost is another goalCook hopes to accomplish within the next year.

“I want to look at different ways to restruc-ture that will allow us to achieve our goals whilespending efficiently.”

Cook is currently reviewing the agency’s train-ing procedures and looking for ways to trim thosecosts.

“A lot of state-mandated training can be doneonline,” he said.

Cook said he also wants officers to focus ontraining that is specifically tailored to communi-ty policing and their future career goals.

• • • As Cook continues to study the agency’s poli-

cies and procedures, he’s been out and about talk-ing to local business owners and residents.

He plans to host a community planning ses-sion to gain insight about the expectations andperceptions of the agency.

“I’m really excited to be here. Both townshipsare really great,” he said. “If people have ques-tions, comments or concerns, I want to hearthem.”

Emergency exercise largestof its kind inRowan history

Disaster Drill

If you happened to be driv-ing through Spencer on U.S.29 Saturday morning, nearthe Wil-cox Bridge, the over-turned bus and school chil-dren lying on the side of theroad bleeding, the RITA vanon its side, and two otherwrecked cars were not a fig-ment of your imagination, butan emergency exercise bymore than 15 agencies.

The exercise was one ofthe largest of its kind in thehistory of Rowan Countyemergency agencies and in-volved agencies from Char-lotte, Rowan, Davidson andCabarrus counties.

Lennie Cooper, chief ofRowan County EMS, and Ed-die Cress, assistant chief ofRowan County Rescue, werethe lead planners of the exer-cise, both on the Exercise De-sign Subcommittee of the Lo-cal Emergency PlanningCommittee.

“So many times these ex-ercises create themselves asfar as scenarios and what’savailable,” Cooper said of theplanning, adding that theschools and Rowan Transiteach had an interest to be in-volved in an exercise.

“And we knew we neededto test mass casualties,” hesaid.

The scenario — a trans-portation accident with masscasualties — follows.

A Rowan-SalisburySchools bus was returning tothe county from an event inDavidson County. At thesame time, Rowan Transitwas transporting senior citi-zens from Salisbury to Lex-ington.

As the RITA van was trav-eling north on U.S. 29, theconstruction going on con-fused the driver, and the driv-er traveled in the wrong laneof traffic, hitting the bushead-on.

Two additional passengercars were also involved —one struck the back of theschool bus, and the second ve-hicle, also traveling in thesame lane as the bus, went offthe road and overturned.

The school bus also caughtfire.

There were 33 patientsand five fatalities on thescene. Patients’ injuries var-ied from critical — needing tobe airlifted — to minor.

Cooleemee, N.C.

Playing the roles of thechildren on the bus were stu-dents from North RowanHigh School and local sher-iff’s and fire explorers — cov-ered in fake blood and the-atrical makeup.

Other roles included par-ents of the children.

One woman screamed atfirefighters and EMS work-ers as they walked by thechildren scattered along theshoulder of the road.

“That woman was an Acad-emy Award winner,” Coopersaid. “If we didn’t have peo-ple acting like it was the realdeal, then they wouldn’t havean opportunity to practicehandling those people beforethe real event took place.”

The first agency on thescene was a truck fromMiller Ferry — and noagency knew what the exer-cise would entail until theyarrived on scene.

“The actual on-scene coor-dination and cooperation wasprobably some of the bestI’ve seen for an exercise inquite some time,” Cooper

said. “The opportunity to geteveryone together and prac-tice prior to the actual eventallowed us to prepare so thatwhen the real event takesplace, we’re able to providebetter service.”

Agencies involved includ-ed: Rowan County Rescue;Rowan, Cabarrus and David-son EMS; Miller Ferry,Spencer, Ellis Crossroads andUnion fire departments;Churchland Fire Departmentfrom Davidson County; N.C.Baptist Air Care; MedCenterAir from CMC; Rowan Coun-ty Communications; RowanCounty Fire Division; RowanCounty Emergency Manage-ment; Rowan County Sheriff’sOffice; N.C. Highway Patrol;Spencer Police Department;Rowan-Salisbury Schools;Rowan Transit; Crawford’sWrecker Service; N.C. DOT;and Rowan Regional MedicalCenter.

Frank Thomason, RowanCounty Emergency Servicesdirector, said the vehiclesfrom Rowan-SalisburySchools and Rowan Transitwere important because they“allowed us to really simulatereal-life situations,” he said,with firefighters even cuttingthrough the school bus to get

to the children.N.C. DOT also helped by

providing signs reading“Emergency Drill Ahead.”Thomason said that any timethere is an exercise such asSaturday’s, there are safetyconcerns not only for the re-sponders and those involved,but for the citizens using theroads.

Rowan County EMS Med-ical Director Ronnie Barrierwas an observer during theexercise and will give feed-back later.

“In a real situation, I wouldhave probably been the onethat was triaging patients anddeciding who was hurt badlyenough to go first and whocould wait,” he said. “Fortu-nately we don’t see manythings like that ... but we pre-pare for those sorts of things— worst-case scenarios.”

Barrier said he thought theexercise worked out prettywell, but noted it was an edu-cational experience, and re-sponders and agencies willlearn from their mistakes.

“It’s nice having thesethings just to figure out howyou’re going to do things andwork with different agen-cies,” he said. “A big exerciselike that gives us the chance

to get everyone involved andsee how it works.”

Barrier said the mainthing he kept thinking aboutduring the exercise was howthe general public has no ideahow much training goes intosuch events.

“It’s just amazing to mehow these people can get alltheir hours in and do all thestuff that they do,” he said.“Unfortunately they don’t getpaid much to do it.

“I just wish the generalpublic realized how muchtime and effort and trainingthese emergency personnelhave. It’s a privilege to me tobe able to work with thesefolks.”

Cooper said that in two tothree weeks, the five “judges”and heads from the differentagencies will get together andtalk in depth about the exer-cise and develop an action re-port and improvement plan.

“If there are no problems,then they’ve missed some-thing,” Thomason said of theexercise. “We don’t plan tofail. We plan it as realistic aspossible with the outcome be-ing to show us where we needto improve.”Contact Shelley Smith at

DRILLFRoM 3A

Back in the spring, theidea arose for a greatadventure. Why not get

a group together and run 200miles on a relay through the

mountains?And run thosemountainsmaybe with anall-girl team.

After a fewinitial meet-ings, the planshad slowed toa crawl. Thegroup had lostseveral of itsoriginal mem-

bers, and it needed a leader.Meredith Abramson decid-

ed that 12 women would runthe Blue Ridge Relay, and shewould help find enoughwomen. She also decided thatthe group needed a name, andsoon was born the adventureof the “Red Hot Mamas.”

Abramson wanted to enlist12 moms and find a groupthat would be like-mindedand supportive, pulling eachother along. She knew thatthey had to co-exist in verytight quarters and duringsome trying situations. The“Mamas” registered in Juneand started training in July.

There would be two vansleap-frogging across the BlueRidge. Each van would take aturn, dispensing all six run-ners for their planned runs,then being “off” for severalhours. The women dividedout the segments; all 12 wouldrun three segments throughthe mountains. They trainedtogether by running up Mor-row Mountain.

Finally the team was setjust a few short weeks beforethe Sept. 17 start at MountRogers in the Grayson High-lands of Virginia. Van 1would have Patricia Heden-skog, Ashlinn Trexler, AudraPerry, Sara Phillips, AmyWelch and Tricia Proper. Van2 would have Kim Cooke,Meredith Abramson, EmilyBrinskelle, Jen Drabik, AllieWagner and Kelly Lowman.Most of the girls knew eachother and all were moms ex-cept Wagner. Abramsontalked her friends Cooke andDrabik into joining the locals.Drabik came all the way fromCleveland, Ohio, to join thefun. Cooke is from Waxhaw.Ages ranged from 19 forWagner, through the 20s and30s. Team mom was SuzanneBurgess.

Hedenskog started the re-

lay at 7:30 on Friday morningamid cheers from her team-mates. Other teams weregrouped together, based ontheir estimated pace. Theslower teams started first,with organizers hoping thatmany of the teams would fin-ish together. Van 2 missedthe start because they made awrong turn, but by the timefor the second leg, Cooke andDrabik and had been intro-duced to the group. The relaywas on, and all the planningwas paying rewards. Thewomen had all picked legsbased on experience. Somewere listed as easy, somehilly, and some very hard.

Since the relay continuedduring the night, opportuni-ties for unusual happeningscould be expected. At about4:30 a.m., the girls in Van 2thought they saw red lightson a UFO, but it turned out tobe a fire truck signaling atransition area ahead. Girls inVan 1 got diarrhea and it wasblamed on too many powerbars, energy gels and drinks.Van 2 had no such problems,but hastily had to convincethe other teams that theywere still regular. Kim Cookehad a tough uphill leg, andAbramson was next in line.Being a “Red Hot Mama,” shedecided to wear body glitterand body spray, and thoughtshe had plenty of time to getready. Earlier than expected,Cooke arrived and Abramsonhad to jump out of the van

and take off running. Abram-son also met her neighbor,Gene Faller, for the firsttime. He was running for theFood Lion team.

Other humorous happen-ings included Hedenskogtaking the last pancake at arest stop, leaving none foranyone else in her van. Shedid take time to chew out theorganizers, reminding themthat the “Mamas” had paidtheir way to do this just likeeveryone else. She didn’tmind eating that pancake,though.

Hedenskog had to dealwith Welch’s snoring, so sheprobably needed the pancake.Once, while delirious and op-erating on very little sleep,the girls were told that therewas space for sleeping avail-able in a fire department.They pulled the van in andtried to sleep. Too late, they

realized that the firemen actu-ally had beds available forthem to sleep in. Perry tan-gled with a local dog, andProper tumbled off the side ofa road after being clipped bya car.

Wagner ran the last leg andwas accompanied by thewhole team as she finished inAsheville around midday Sat-urday. Temperatures rangedfrom the upper 40s to the 80sduring the relay. The team ranmore than 200 miles in 30hours and 55 minutes and cov-ered the distance at an 8minute and 55 second paceper mile. The “Mamas” placedthird in the all-female divisionand narrowly missed beatingthe co-ed Food Lion team.

“We overcame our biggestfear of running alone in thedark by supporting each oth-er,” Hedenskog said. “I didn’tsleep for 41 hours, but it wasan awesome experience.Twelve women completelydepended on each other!”

Eight of the “Mamas”have already committed todoing it again next year.Meredith Abramson says shethinks she can get more ofthem than that. I wouldn’tcount her out. More informa-tion on the Blue Ridge Relaycan be found atwww.blueridgerelay.com

Every day Piedmont Natural Gas provides many

things that aren’t always visible. Natural gas just

happens to be one of them. It keeps you warm on a

cold night. It helps you cook dinner. And it can even

wash the dishes. It’s one of the most dependable

and efficient energy sources available, so that

makes your home feel more relaxing. You don’t

have to worry about losing service during a storm.

You can take longer showers without running

out of hot water. And there are even natural gas

generators that can keep refrigerators, lights

and air conditioners working in the middle

of a power outage. It’s a product so trusted

that several of the country’s most critical

buildings rely on natural gas, including

the Pentagon, the White House and the

Capitol building. It’s also one of the

fastest-growing energy sources in the

marketplace, now providing one-

fourth of the nation’s energy. And

those 69 million customers are

actually helping the environment

by choosing natural gas. The

average natural gas home emits

46% less carbon than an all-

electric home. So the air enjoys

fewer harmful emissions and

you can enjoy a cozy fire without

any soot or ashes. But whether

you’re curled up by the fire

or grilling out with friends, as a

Piedmont Natural Gas customer you’ll

also support a primarily domestic product. More

than 98% of the gas we use in the United States

comes from North America, which helps make the

distribution efficient as well. According to the

Department of Energy, only 10% of natural gas

energy is lost in its journey to your home,

while electricity loses almost 65% of its useful

energy. Natural gas also heats water twice as

fast as electricity using half the energy. And

on average, you can dry two loads of laundry

with a gas dryer for what it costs to dry one load

of laundry in an electric dryer. Not to mention

that’s less work for you. Natural gas appliances

come with efficiencies built-in. Gas range

burners respond instantly, deliver precise

heat and take less time to clean. Chefs

worldwide prefer the accurate cooking

that a gas range offers. Even

maintenance is easy because all of

our customers enjoy access to our

Service Plus program with expert

technicians who take care of

things like installation and service

of most natural gas products.

We’re a company as dependable

as the product we deliver.

Recognizing that being visible

isn’t nearly as important as being

there. So while you still can’t see

our product, its advantages are no

longer hidden. And that’s definitely

something you should see for yourself.

Glenn Yowler of Flowes Store Volunteer Fire Department stirsthe pot of his team’s signature chili.

BY HUGH [email protected]

KANNAPOLIS — Whenyou think about it, a good bowlof chili is a lot like the biggerthings in life, like governmentor relationships.

Everyone has a little bit dif-ferent way of doing things,usually with a story to back itup.

And people tend to be veryparticular about their ap-proaches, maybe even a littledefensive.

The friendly competition atSaturday’s second annual chilicook-off to benefit the N.C.Firefighters’ Burned ChildrenFund made the lawn at AftonRidge shopping center a littlewarmer.

The event was hosted by theKannapolis Fire Department.

Under tents and from thebacks of trucks, crews viedfor votes from members ofthe public and visiting fire-fighters.

For a donation, tasterscould take cups and spoonsaround and sample therecipes. Anyone who wanteda full bowl of their favorite hotstuff could dig in after that —teams cooked up enough tofeed a firehouse.

And a big bowl of votingslips kept at the judges’ tent,near the all-important colddrinks, waited to decide theeventual winner.

Glenn Yowler of FlowesStore Volunteer Fire Depart-ment was cool and confidentas he stirred a big stainless-steel pot over an electric hotplate at his team’s station.

His department’s entry be-gan, he said, as the family’stailgating recipe — “going toCleveland Browns gamesback in the late ’80s,” he said.

As to exactly what was inthat pot …

“Well, I could tell you,”Yowler said, “but then thePost would be looking for anew reporter.”

After a tasting, he did ad-mit that Italian sausage waspart of the mix.

For those who needed a lit-tle extra kick, they had every-thing from jalapeño peppersto Texas Pete, along with oys-ter crackers and shreddedcheese, to help customize thechili experience.

Not far off, two young men,Andy Allen and Jason Kessler,talked to onlookers andfriends as their entry bubbledon a portable stove.

Their recipe didn’t have asmuch history behind it, but itpacked a lot of kick.

“Our first pot was madeThursday,” Allen said.

They said they heard aboutthe contest and, amateurcooks that they are, decidedto see what they could con-coct.

No luck getting their for-mula, either.

“There’s a whole gang ofginger assassins who guardthe recipe,” Allen said.(Kessler is a redhead.)

After a little prodding, theydid give away a few hints. Themeat was organic, hormone-

free ground beef. They soakeddried beans instead of usingcanned.

And their chili’s kick camefrom one, and only one, ha-banero pepper — one of theworld’s hottest, some 50 timeshotter than a jalapeño.

“We kept looking at the bagof habaneros, and looking atthe pot,” Kessler said. “But wedecided against it.”

“We didn’t want to meltanyone’s face off before theyhad a chance to taste it,” Allensaid.

Their decision paid off.Allen and Kessler’s chili wonthe day.

The winning duo receiveda cash prize and restaurantcoupons — so they could eatsomething other than chili fora while.

Runners-up got gift certifi-cates to restaurants as athank-you.

The day’s real winner wasthe N.C. Firefighters’ BurnedChildren Fund. Proceeds go tohelp their efforts to preventfires and provide treatmentfor burn victims.

President Debbie Phillipssaid that since 1987 the char-ity has helped families inneed.

“We try to do an eventevery year,” Phillips said.

Funds raised from alu-minum can drives, chili cook-offs and more go to help fam-ilies with the expenses relat-ed to taking their children toburn treatments.

The charity also supportsCamp Celebrate, a chance forburned children to enjoy ac-tivities and meet counselorsand others dealing with the af-termath of their injuries.

“I cannot think of anythingworse for a victim, other thanmaybe Alzheimer’s, than to beburned,” she said. “It takesaway their dignity.”

And while she said she’dhoped for a bigger turnout,this event — the second inthree years — was just the be-ginning.

Kessler and Allen said theywere glad to be able to helpraise money for victims andfamilies.

Firefighters themselves,who see the devastation aspart of their jobs, agreed.

Bill Abernathy of AllenVolunteer Fire Departmentsaid he’s seen what burntreatments can do to a fami-ly, emotionally and financial-ly.

“It’s not uncommon for asingle visit to a burn center torange from $30,000 to$200,000,” he said.

And that expense couldcome on top of losing every-thing in a blaze.

Abernathy called thefund’s efforts to help families“a very worthy cause” that heplans to keep supporting —and hopes the community willturn out to make next year’scook-off a blockbuster.

“I’d like to see about 60contestants out here,” he said.

“I am familiar with howboards operates and how im-portant it is to be able to un-derstand the decision-makingprocess.” she said. “Havingbeen in positions that were di-rectly impacted by board lev-el decisions, I am keenlyaware of the importance ofthe work of boards being in-formed and well thought out.”

Trail said he feels beingboth a school administrator inCabarrus County and a parentgives him the upper hand.

“I think my current role al-lows me to have insight thatother candidates don’t havebecause I get to hear fromteachers first hand,” he said.

Norman said being on theboard for more than 15 yearsgives her the experience to besuccessful.

“I have earned the public’strust as demonstrated by re-elections,” she said. “I am hon-est, fair and dedicated to thecause of educating studentsusing new tools and well-re-searched ‘best practices.’ ”

Meeting attendanceThe Post asked each candi-

date how many school boardmeetings they have attendedin the past six months.

Norman has been at everymeeting, except one becauseof back surgery. Hogue hasbeen to one and Trail did notattend any.

“I have not had the need toattend,” Trail said. “If I wereto have an issue with someonein the school system, I knowwho to contact, I know the pro-cedures and I know how to

contact those individuals.”

Grading the superintendent

Each candidate was askedto grade Superintendent Dr.Judy Grissom on her leader-ship.

Hogue declined to giveGrissom a score.

“I believe, before I wouldbe able to grade the superin-tendent, I would need to comein personal contact with herand I would also need to gath-

er information that reflectsher level of achievement inreaching the goals that havebeen set for her,” she said.

Both Norman and Trailgave Grissom high marks.

Norman offered a grade ofa B plus/A minus.

“Rowan-Salisbury Schoolshave forged forward underher leadership.” she said. “Itbegan with a vision of how theboard wanted to develop ourschool system.

“The superintendent is em-

powered to develop that intoa meaningful educationalprocess for students, leadingprincipals and using staff de-velop ... to bring about a dif-ferent paradigm for teachingand learning.”

Trail said he would giveGrissom a B for her ability togauge what’s best of the stu-dents.

“I think her forte is in cur-riculum and finding those pro-grams that work for our kids,”he said.

Solving the fundingdilemma

As the school systembraces to deal with a budgetdeficit as a result of the expi-ration of stimulus funding, theschool board might have somethough decisions to make re-garding expenditures duringthe upcoming fiscal year.

The candidates all agreethat the quality of the educa-tion should not be compro-mised.

Hogue said although she

feels the school board hasmade strides to solve budgetissues, it’s important to effec-tively spend the funds allocat-ed.

“If elected to the schoolboard, I would like to join thefinance committee so I canlook more closely at how themoney is being spent and whatcuts could possibly be madewithout jeopardizing the qual-ity of children’s education.”

Trail said although theschool system is doing somethings well in regard to fund-ing, more needs to be done. Hecited the $2.2 million SchoolImprovement Grant at Hen-derson Independent HighSchool, which has been award-ed to improve studentachievement and increase thegraduation rate as a step in theright direction.

“I think we have to be cre-ative in finding grant oppor-tunities,” he said. “I thinkwe’ve just got to look at everyavenue possible to securemore funding, whether it’swriting grants or holding thegovernment and legislatureaccountable for funding.”

Trail said he would need togo through the budget line byline before making a decisionabout cuts.

Norman said the schoolboard is currently doing all itcan to deal with budget con-cerns.

“The superintendent andher staff have secured about$10 million in grant moneyover the past four years,” shesaid. “That has enriched ourstudents, added to the localeconomy by adding staff, orat other times, this additionalmoney has saved positions.”

Norman said she hopes fu-ture cuts can be avoided.

“We must be good stewardsof taxpayer dollars,” she said.“However, we cannot educatechildren in the 21st centuryusing 19th century dollars.”

CANDIDATESFROM 1a

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White Houseadviser questioned the need Sunday for a blan-ket stoppage of all home foreclosures, even aspressure grows on the Obama administrationto do something about mounting evidence thatbanks have used inaccurate documents toevict homeowners.

“It is a serious problem,” said David Axel-rod, who contended that the flawed paperworkis hurting the nation’s housing market as wellas lending institutions. But he added, “I’m notsure about a national moratorium becausethere are in fact valid foreclosures that prob-ably should go forward” because their docu-ments are accurate.

Axelrod said the administration is pressinglenders to accelerate their reviews of foreclo-sures to determine which ones have flaweddocumentation.

“Our hope is this moves rapidly and thatthis gets unwound very, very quickly,” he said.

With the reeling economy already the topissue on voters’ minds, the doubts raised overforeclosures and evictions are becoming a po-litical issue as the Nov. 2 elections approach.

Trapped miners jockeying to seewho will be the last one out

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) — After morethan two months trapped deep in a Chileanmine, 33 miners were so giddy with confidencethat officials said they were arguing over whowould be the last to take a twisting 20-minuteride to daylight.

Officials have drawn up a tentative list ofthe order in which the 33 miners should be res-cued, and Health Minister Jaime Manalich saidthe otherwise cooperative miners were squab-bling about it — so sure of the exit plan thatthey’re asking to let their comrades be first toreach the surface, probably Wednesday.

“They were fighting with us yesterday be-cause everyone wanted to be at the end of theline, not the beginning,” he told reporters.

Manalich told the Associated Press that afew, in private conversations among them-selves, have volunteered to go up first. “Butno one has done so publicly,” he added.

“I think they’re more excited than scaredor nervous,” Brandon Fisher, president of Cen-ter Rock Inc., the Pennsylvania companywhose hammer-style drill heads created thehole, told AP. “That first guy up might be a lit-tle nervous, though.”

‘King of Rock and Soul’ Solomon Burke dies at age 70

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Solomon Burke wasborn to the sound of music in an upstairs roomof a Philadelphia church and went on to be-come one of the greatest soul singers of the1960s, renowned as among premier vocalists.

Yet his popularity never matched that ofthose he influenced, contemporaries includ-ing James Brown and Marvin Gaye, a realityhe accepted with grace and some frustration,colleagues said.

Burke, 70, died early Sunday of naturalcauses at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, his

family said in a statement on the singer’s web-site. “Although our hearts and lives will nev-er be the same, his love, life and music willcontinue to live within us forever,” the state-ment said.

He wrote “Everybody Needs Somebody toLove” in 1964 and it was later featured in theDan Aykroyd and John Belushi movie “TheBlues Brothers.” The Rolling Stones and Wil-son Pickett also recorded it.

A bare-chested Patrick Swayze danced se-ductively with Jennifer Grey to Burke’s “CryTo Me” in one of the most memorable scenesfrom the movie “Dirty Dancing.”

Factory owners say they’re sorryfor devastation from red sludge

KOLONTAR, Hungary (AP) — The ownersof the metals plant where a reservoir burst,flooding several towns in western Hungarywith caustic red sludge, expressed their con-dolences Sunday to the families of the sevenpeople killed, as well as to those injured — andsaid they were sorry for not having done sosooner.

MAL Rt., which owns the alumina plant inAjka, also said it was willing to pay compen-sation “in proportion to its responsibility” forthe damage caused by the deluge.

But the trouble may not be over.With the northwest corner of the storage

pool still showing a hole 50 yards wide wherethe mix of mud and water broke through lastweek, officials said the collapse of at least oneof the breached walls was inevitable. That,they said, would probably unleash a new del-uge of toxic matter.

Effects of toxic coal sludge from10 years ago linger in Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — In parts of east-ern Kentucky, the pictures coming out of Hun-

gary of the red sludge that roared from a fac-tory’s reservoir, downstream into the DanubeRiver, are all too reminiscent of what hap-pened a decade ago this week.

A layer of dark goo still sits under acreekbed on Glenn Cornette’s land, the left-overs from when a coal company’s sprawlingslurry pond burst, blackening 100 miles of wa-terways and polluting the water supply ofmore than a dozen communities before thestuff reached the Ohio River.

A torrent as wide as a football field and 6feet deep covered Cornette’s property nearthe West Virginia line. It killed all manner ofplants and cut off his access to the street.

“It just looked like pudding or something,”Cornette said recently.

Vegas wedding chapels busy ascouples tie knot on 10-10-10

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Churches, banquethalls and other wedding venues across the

country were extra busy Sunday as couplesseeking a perfect 10 rushed to tie the knot ona once-in-a-century milestone: Oct. 10, 2010.

In Las Vegas — long a destination for wed-dings — one marriage license bureau extend-ed its Sunday hours from 6 p.m. to midnightto accommodate the rush. Hotels and church-es in New Hampshire’s Seacoast area werebooked long before Oct. 10.

Wedding-related businesses said the daywas perhaps the most sought-after weddingdate since July 7, 2007, when the lucky 07-07-07 marked the calendar. Some 10-10-10 cou-ples even chose to take their vows at 10 a.m.

One pastor in Nevada took the rush air-borne by planning to join 30 couples at vari-ous venues Sunday and aboard a helicopterthrough the buzz of a headset.

“This is kind of a neat way to spend my re-tirement years. It keeps me in good health andkeeps my mind alert,” the Rev. Jim Hamiltonof Henderson’s Sunrise Community Churchtold the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Space tourismrocket takes firstsolo glide flight

MOJAVE, Calif. (AP) —Virgin Galactic’s spacetourism rocket SpaceShipTwoachieved its first solo glideflight Sunday, marking anoth-er step in the company’s even-tual plans to fly paying pas-sengers.

SpaceShipTwo was carriedaloft by its mothership to analtitude of 45,000 feet and re-leased over the MojaveDesert. After the separation,SpaceShipTwo, manned bytwo pilots, flew freely for 11minutes before landing at anairport runway followed bythe mothership.

The entire test flight last-ed about 25 minutes.

“It flew beautifully,” saidVirgin Galactic chief execu-tive George Whitesides.

The six-passenger Space-ShipTwo is undergoing rigor-ous testing before it can car-ry tourists to space. In the lat-est test, SpaceShipTwo did notfire its rocket engine to climbto space.

Until now, SpaceShipTwohas flown attached to the wingof its special jet-poweredmothership dubbed White-KnightTwo. Sunday was thefirst time the spaceship flewon its own.

The news was hailed byspace tourism advocates. The“flight marks another keymilestone towards openingthe space frontier for privateindividuals, researchers, andexplorers,” John Gedmark,executive director of the Com-mercial Spaceflight Federa-tion, said in a statement.

Whitesides said Space-ShipTwo will make a series ofadditional glide flights beforerocketing to space.

SpaceShipTwo, built byfamed aircraft designer BurtRutan, is based on a prototypethat won a $10 million prize in2004 for being the firstmanned private rocket toreach space. Tickets to rideaboard SpaceShipTwo cost$200,000. Some 370 customershave plunked down depositstotaling $50 million, accordingto Virgin Galactic.

Investigators needon-scene training

CHARLOTTE (AP) —North Carolina’s medical ex-aminer says all police officersshould get specialized train-ing in crime scene investiga-tions involving the death of achild.

The Charlotte Observer re-ported Sunday that a legisla-tive task force also says thestate should hire trained deathscene investigators to respondto reports of infant and childdeaths.

The proposal comes after anewspaper report found thatpolice frequently fail to inves-tigate cases of sudden infantdeath syndrome. The Observ-er’s series found that mostNorth Carolina cases of SIDScontained evidence that thebabies might have suffocated.

Task force co-chairmanTom Vitaglione (vih-tah-LEE’-own) says improving theknowledge of on-scene inves-tigators can help determinewhether deaths are natural.

Officials also want to man-date the use of state-issuedchecklists when they go todeath scenes. They’re now op-tional.

Don’t blame ‘big business’for the Democrats’ failures

I’m writing in response to Marion McLaugh-lin’s oh so familiar and well-worn diatribeabout “big business” as she refers to it (Oct. 8letter). Not only big business but thinking, suc-cess-driven working people object to Demo-cratic policies because they know how thiscountry works and what is needed to bring theeconomy back.

If big business is “taken down,” who willprovide much needed employment for Ameri-cans? The government, of course. Nationaliza-tion of business is the order of the day. Themore we depend on government, the morevotes Democrats get. Democrats’ policies areessentially drilling holes in a sinking boat tolet the water out.

And if she wishes to rail against tycoonsplacing anti-Democrat ads and financing Re-publican candidates, perhaps she should firstlook in her own backyard at the likes ofGeorge Soros, Bill Gates, numerous Hollywoodcelebrities and other liberal tycoons largelyunaffected by the proposed redistribution ofwealth they propose who are financing the De-mocrats’ attack ads and political campaigns.

They have spewed far more hatred and fo-mented far more fear than any Republican,even going so far as to accuse Republicans ofstarving school children.

For a Democrat to accuse anyone of lyingfor political gain is the height of hypocrisy. It’stime for a change ... this time, one that is actu-ally good for the country.

— David WilsonSalisbury

The party of paychecksNewt Gingrich is right, in a way. The GOP

is a party of the paychecks, big ones to thewealthy that own the party. True, the Democ-rats are the party of food stamps. It keeps thepoor and unemployed from starving. After 10years of tax breaks so the wealthy have money

to provide jobs, show us the jobs. Here, notoverseas.

— Donald C. TracySalisbury

N.C. fuel taxes too highThe Salisbury Post and others should look

into the road taxes our state is getting per day.When I filled up my truck recently, the total

included $26 for the N.C. road tax. Fill up sixtimes a month, that’s $156 in N.C. road taxesper month alone. Compare that to state salestaxes at clothing stores, Walmart, Food Lion,Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter etc.

This equals $1,872 in yearly taxes for N.C.roads just for my truck.

God knows how much it costs the big truck-ers per month or year.

N.C. citizens, it’s time to stand up and getour system under control.

We’re letting outside views destroy us.You let the jobs go overseas. Will you let

your freedom go next?— Willard Laws

“The truth shall make you free”OPINION

L E T T E R S T O T H E E D I T O R

As I watch President Obama speak dur-ing different news conferences, I listento him continue to say he wants tax

cuts for the middle class. That’s great forthem. But my automatic reaction is to standup and yell at my television: “What aboutus?”

Let me explain.You see, my family is one of many that are

falling between the cracks, so to speak. I amunemployed, and my husband works 50-60hours a week. He has done so for years. Butthe past two years, his pay has continued todecrease. We have cut costs in every way wecan think. None of the four of us has a cellphone; we do not have Internet in our home;we do not subscribe to cable or dish service,and the last movie we took our two kids tosee was more than two months ago. We havenot been able to take a family vacation inmore than three years. Not even a weekendtrip. My husband and I share one vehicle, atruck, because we were forced to sell my carin August of 2009.

Last year, our home phone went unpaidfor more than two months so that I could buymy daughter a dance costume for her recital.Grandma graciously paid her monthly tu-ition. This year, Grandma can’t afford to dothat, and I obviously can’t pay, which has bro-ken my little girl’s heart. She has even askedme if I could let her dance classes be her

Christmas andbirthday presentinstead of toys.That broke myheart. However,that solution is stillnot a possibility.Last year, twoweeks beforeChristmas, we tookout a loan againstmy husband’s 401Kto buy Christmaspresents for our

kids, and they did not get a lot. I don’t knowhow Christmas will go this year, but at leastmy kids know Christmas is to celebrate Je-sus, not just an excuse to get gifts.

Now, you may be asking: How does all thismean we fall between the cracks?

I’ll tell you how. Most people in our posi-tion get EBT cards (food stamps). We havetried desperately to avoid that route, but thissummer, we decided to swallow our prideand apply. We went to the office and waitedpatiently in long lines but knew it would beworthwhile in the long run. My husband and Ileft the building feeling as though a hugeweight had been lifted. Our case managerwent over all our information and let us knowthat we did indeed meet the requirements toreceive assistance. She gave us pamphletsshowing how to use our EBT card and told uswe would receive it in the mail, along with astatement showing how much we would haveon it to spend each month. We were so re-lieved. The case manager even gave me infoon being able to go back to school with gov-ernment assistance. That really thrilled mebecause that is something I have wanted fora long time but never thought I would be ableto do. She also gave us information on chari-ties that help people pay utility bills and as-sist with getting heat and air, which we werealso thrilled to hear because our HVAC hasworn out and is beyond repair. We thoughtwe were going to have help with all of thesethings because we met the requirements forassistance.

About six days later, I opened my mailboxto find an envelope from my county. Yeah! Iwas so excited that I wouldn’t have quite asmuch stress over how to pay for groceries.

My tears of joy were quickly replaced bytears of shock, then sadness, then anger.

There was no card, only a letter of rejec-tion.

I was devastated and dreaded telling myhusband.

We don’t have enough income to supportus, but we make too much to receive assis-tance? Yep, there we go — right into thecrack, the crack between lower class andmiddle class. At this point, the crack hasturned into a canyon. Because we aren’t eligi-ble to receive assistance for food, then appar-ently we can’t get help with getting heat forthe winter, much less funding for school. Didyou see that? My dreams of getting my de-gree just flew right out the window.

So, President Obama, you want to give themiddle class more tax cuts. Well, I want toknow one thing: What about us? It’s colddown here in this crack.

My Turn: Melissa Graham

What aboutthose fallingbetween cracks?

Salisbury Post

Anotherpart ofthe storyThere is another story here.

That it has escaped us thusfar is not surprising. After

all, the primary story, the obvi-ous one, is compelling and sad.

In recent weeks, a string ofteenagers have killed themselvesafter being tormented by class-

mates becausethey were, or werebelieved to be,gay. That includes13-year-old SethWalsh, whohanged himself,13-year-old AsherBrown, who shothimself, 15-year-old Billy Lucas,who hanged him-self. It includesTyler Clementi, an

18-year-old freshman at Rutgerswho leapt into the Hudson Riverafter his roommate secretly "web-cammed" him making out with an-other man in their dorm room andstreamed it live.

Add in the bizarre case ofChris Armstrong, a gay Universi-ty of Michigan student who is thetarget of ongoing harassment byno less august a personage thanMichigan Assistant Attorney Gen-eral Andrew Shirvell, and it's nothard to understand why the head-line here is about the bullying ofgay young people. In a 2005 Har-ris Poll, a staggering 90 percentof gay students (versus 62 per-cent of straights) reported beingharassed or assaulted in school.So, the headline is appropriate.

But separate Tyler Clementifrom the others and you'll see:there's also another story here.

Imagine an alternate scenario.Imagine that instead of a guy,Clementi was making love with agirl when his roommate, DharunRavi, went to another dorm room,remotely activated his webcam,and broadcast it to the world.With the distracting filter of ho-mosexuality removed, a troublingquestion emerges.

Forget gay or straight. How doyou do that to someone? Anyone?How do you broadcast someone'smoment of intimacy or private in-discretion for the world to laughat? And why?

As it happens, the Clementitragedy was roughly coincidentwith a video that has been makingthe rounds in journalism circles.It takes place in a television news-room. As a news reader is report-ing in the foreground, an internbehind her, oblivious to the livecamera, picks her nose and ap-pears to eat what she finds. A linkto the video reached my inboxwith a note calling it hilarious.

I disagreed. After all, this was-n't a clip from some sitcom. Thiswas a real person, a youngwoman, finding herself reducedto a national punch line, a laugh-ingstock, all because of one ill-considered moment. What she didwas distasteful, yes. But the deci-sion to share it with the wholewide world was worse.

Proof that these are not isolat-ed incidents is as close asYouTube. There is always somevideo going around whose calcu-lated effect is nothing more orless than humiliation on a globalscale. Technology, it seems, hasunleashed an ugliness in us.

In a Facebook, iPad, automatedteller, self-serve, smart phone, e-mail, voice recognition kind ofworld, it is increasingly possibleto make it through an entire daywithout the bother of having to in-teract with other human beings.Maybe as a result, we are forget-ting how.

No, there is nothing new aboutpulling pranks. What is new is thedistance we now have from otherpeople, this tendency to objectifythem. What is new is the world-wide reach technology now af-fords us. And what is new is thecruelty, this willingness to casual-ly destroy someone else with afew clicks of a mouse.

It is as if we have forgotten ornever knew: people are not ob-jects. They have feelings. Theyhave intrinsic dignity and worth.And each of us is bound to re-spect that. There are things youjust don't do to other people, andthe fact that technology makesthose things easy to do doesn'tmake that any less true.

So yes, there is another storyhere, and it is wrenching, simple,and self-evident: Tyler Clementiwas a human being.

And he wasn't treated like one.

Most of the change we think we see in lifeis due to truths being in and out of favor.

Common sense(Or uncommon wisdom, as

the case may be)

My tears of joywere quicklyreplaced by

tears of shock,then sadness,then anger.

HICKORY (AP) — AsHickory police searched for amissing, hearing-impaired 10-year-old girl with an artificialleg, they arrested the child’sstepmother Sunday on unre-lated charges.

Zahra Clare Baker was re-ported missing Saturday af-ternoon about 12 hours afterher father and stepmothersaid they last saw her sleep-ing in her bed, the Hickory Po-lice Department said in anews release Sunday.

Hickory police spokesmanMaj. Clyde Deal said ElisaBaker faces more than adozen charges, including onefelony, in cases unrelated tothe disappearance of her step-daughter. The charges includecommunicating threats, writ-ing worthless checks, larcenyand driving with a revoked li-cense.

Deal said the charges dat-ed from 2006 through late2009 and are from three coun-ties. He said the warrantswere found on North Caroli-na’s new statewide systemcalled N.C. Aware that hasbeen in place just a few

months.Elisa Baker was booked

Sunday and it was unclearwhether she has an attorney.There was no telephone list-ing for the Bakers.

Investigators said ElisaBaker and the girl’s father,Adam Baker, were inter-viewed about Zahra’s disap-pearance. The FBI also is in-vestigating the case.

Zahra was last seen wear-ing a camouflage Army T-shirt and black knee-lengthtights, according to an AmberAlert issued Saturday. She is

white, 5-feet, 1-inch tall,weighs 85 pounds and hasbrown hair and blue eyes.Zahra is hearing-impairedand has a prosthetic left legfrom the knee down.

“We are deeply con-cerned for the welfare ofZahra but remain hopefulthat we will locate her safeand unharmed,” the HickoryPolice Department said in itsnews release.

Anyone with informationabout the missing girl, can callHickory police at 828-328-5551.

inflation measure that wasadopted by Congress back inthe 1970s. Based on inflationso far this year, the trusteeswho oversee Social Securityproject there will be no COLAfor 2011.

The projection will bemade official on Friday, whenthe Bureau of Labor Statisticsreleases inflation estimatesfor September. The timingcouldn’t be worse for Democ-rats as they approach an elec-tion in which they are in dan-ger of losing the majority andthe House and Senate.

This past Friday, the samebureau delivered anotherpainful blow to Democrats:The U.S. lost 95,000 jobs inSeptember and unemploy-ment remained stubbornlystuck at 9.6 percent.

Democrats have beenworking hard to make SocialSecurity an election-year is-sue, running political ads andholding press conferences toaccuse Republicans of plot-ting to privatize the nationalretirement program.

This week’s announcementabout Social Security benefitsraises more immediate con-cerns for older Americanswhose savings and home val-ues still haven’t recoveredfrom the financial collapse:Many haven’t had a raisesince January 2009, and theywon’t be getting one until atleast January 2012.

“While people aren’t get-ting COLAs they certainly feellike they’re falling further andfurther behind, particularly inthis economy,” said DavidCertner, AARP’s legislativepolicy director. “People arevery reliant on Social Securi-ty as a major portion of theirincome and, quite frankly,they have counted on theCOLA over the years.”

Social Security was the pri-mary source of income for 64percent of retirees who gotbenefits in 2008, according tothe Social Security Adminis-tration. A third relied on So-cial Security for at least 90percent of their income.

A little more than 58.7 mil-lion people receive Social Se-curity or Supplemental Secu-rity Income. The average So-cial Security benefit is about$1,072 a month.

Social Security recipientsgot a one-time bonus paymentof $250 in the spring of 2009as part of the government’smassive economic recoverypackage. President BarackObama lobbied for anotherone last fall when it becameclear seniors wouldn’t get anincrease in monthly benefitpayments in 2010.

Congress took up the issue,but a proposal by Sen. BernieSanders died when 12 Democ-rats and independent Sen. JoeLieberman of Connecticutjoined Senate Republicans toblock it. Sen. Olympia Snoweof Maine was the only Repub-lican to support the secondbonus payment.

Sanders, I-Vt., said he ex-pects older voters to be angrywhen they learn there will beno increase for the secondstraight year. “I do thinkthere’s going to be politicalfallout,” Sanders said. “Manyseniors who are spending a lotof money on health care andprescription drugs really aregoing to find it hard to believethat there has been no infla-tionary costs to their purchas-ing needs.”

posed changes to Kelley Prop-erty’s site plan for a Court-yard Marriott, restaurant andother development nearKmart and Blue Bay restau-rant on East Innes Street.

Kelley still intends to buildthe four-story, 95-room hotelbut has decreased the size ofthe restaurant from 7,000square feet to 5,500 squarefeet with outdoor seating.Three retail spaces totaling4,200 square feet would be ad-jacent.

Kelley now proposes con-structing a bridge over Town

Creek as part of a new privatedriveway.

The driveway would con-nect into South ArlingtonStreet, where the medianwould be modified to allowfire trucks to turn.

Kelley proposes otherchanges, including dropping apreviously planned secondaryaccess to Cracker Barrel.

Buck Curlee always had aknack for finding a job — orthe job found him.He grew up in the Cartex

Mill village. The one-roomschoolhouse in which Curleewas born in 1922 was thesame place North Main Bap-tist Church was organized.“We were a rugged

bunch,” he says of his bigfamily. “My whole familywere cotton mill people.”As was often the norm in

those days, Curlee didn’tfinish high school andagain, not surprisingly, hisfirst job was in a textileplant — Cannon Mills inKannapolis.Curlee knew almost im-

mediately the mill worker’slife was not for him.Two weeks into the job,

he climbed the fence sur-rounding the plant one dayand hitched a ride home onU.S. 29. When he walked intohis parents’ house back inSalisbury, earlier than hewas supposed to be home,his father and brothers weregetting ready to leave forwork.Curlee told his father he

had quit.“Buck, if I were you, I

wouldn’t go to bed,” his fa-ther said. The implicationwas clear: Buck had betternot rest — had better notcome back home — until hehad another job.Buck walked into Rowan

Creamery later that day, andhis timing was perfect. Char-lie Putzell hired him to helpin the butter department. Hewas handed a white pair ofoveralls and a job for thenext two years.

• • •

Curlee’s draft noticecame in 1942. He was soonon a train to newly builtCamp Van Dorn, Miss.,where the tar-papered bar-racks created “a ram-shackle place,” he recalls. Itwas where the 3rd Battalionof the 99th Infantry Divisionwas formed.Additional training and

division-level maneuvers fol-lowed at Camp Maxey inParis, Texas, during July1944. The 395th InfantryRegiment was held in theUnited States until moreroom was available for theunit to enter Europe.Meanwhile, “rejects”

from an abandoned special-ized training program atFort Benning, Ga., came tofill some of the strippedranks of the 99th InfantryDivision and retrained to itsstandards, Curlee recalls.It was with many of these

men that Curlee, a platoonsergeant, would fight in Eu-rope in the fall and winterafter the D-Day invasion.“A fighting bunch of

men,” Curlee says proudly.During a 10-day furlough

from Camp Maxey, Curleereturned to Salisbury andbroached the question ofmarriage to his sweetheart,Hazel. He knew his divisionwas departing for Europewhen his furlough was over.“She said, ‘It’s right for

me,’ ” Buck says.They married in South

Carolina, and he soon joinedhis fellow soldiers at CampMyles Standish outsideBoston, from where theyboarded a convoy of shipsheaded for England. It wasOct.10, 1944, and they laterarrived in England under thecover of night.After being transported

to an English camp, Curleeremembers waking up thenext morning and asking,“Where the devil are we?”Outside, he noticed a signpost that said, “Salisbury.”“I said, ‘Lord, God. I’m al-

ready home.’ ”

• • •

For the record, Curlee be-longed to the 1st Platoon, Lcompany, 3rd Battalion,395th Infantry Regiment ofthe 99th Infantry Division.Within three weeks of

getting to England, theywere crossing the EnglishChannel and moving intoFrance, where the Germanswere on the run.Curlee, as part of the

395th Regiment, moved bytrain, truck and foot to front-line positions near the Ger-man town of Höfen, justwest of the Siegfried Lineand near the Belgium-Ger-man border.The 99th Infantry Divi-

sion defended Hofen andprobed the Siegfried Line

against heavy resistance inmid-December, defendingthe northern shoulder ofthe Battle of the Bulge dur-ing the Ardennes offensive.The German Sixth Panz-

er Army attacked the 99thInfantry Division but couldnot dislodge its men. Curleesays the division was cut upand surrounded in parts,but did not yield under theconstant German attack.He remembers vividly

the low rations of food andammunition. He also recallsthe day he looked out to aline of four German tigertanks, with the Germanslooking back at his platoonwith field glasses.“We stood there and

watched them for about anhour before they got back intheir tanks and made a U-turn. ... I bet there wasn’t 30rounds of ammunition in mywhole platoon. We were sur-rounded and knew that wasit.”The 99th Infantry Divi-

sion held its positions untilreinforcements arrived. Onat least six occasions, itcalled in artillery strikes onor directly in front of its ownpositions.“We could set our clocks

by the bombs coming in,”Curlee says.

• • •

Patrolling, restocking, re-habilitating and more offen-sives followed as Curlee waspart of the efforts to cleartowns along the Rhine, cap-ture bridges and press for-ward into Germany.In one home, Curlee was

part of a detail that clearedthe stairs and went to thesecond floor, where a Ger-man soldier came out of acloset door, yelling “Heil,Hitler,” Curlee says.His buddy, Robert Adams

of Harlan, Ky., threw theGerman out of a second-floor window and onto apicket fence below. “Youjust get to a point where youjust get callous,” Curleesays, apologizing for thememory.Curlee also describes the

day he was in a house alongthe Siegfried Line when a ro-bot bomb exploded, cavingin the structure. All the menin his platoon survived, hesays.After his knee was shot

up, Curlee finished the warin France as part of the su-pervisory force for a prisoncamp holding 2,300 Ger-mans.His days in the Army

were not over, however. Hehad entered the Army Re-serve but for years had nev-er attended a meeting. Afterthe Korean War broke out,Curlee received a letter toreport to Fort Jackson, S.C.,in five days.He was sworn in again at

Fort Jackson and given 10days to get his affairs in or-der before shipping out toFort Lewis, Wash., fromwhere soldiers were ship-ping out to Korea.

• • •

For two years, Curleetrained soldiers at FortLewis as a first sergeant.Curlee always thought a sadthing about the Korean Con-flict was that many of themen killed were Reservists,who already had served inWorld War II.Hazel was with him in

Washington. They bought a1951 Chevrolet to drivehome in and later traded itfor a 1950 Packard.In Salisbury, Curlee says,

he worked for “three of thefinest men” — CharliePutzell, A.C. Menius and H. Allan Rouzer — in theyears before going into busi-

ness for himself.He and Hazel raised two

daughters, LaVone and Pen-ny. The only house they everowned was on Dunham Av-enue, where Buck still livestoday. Helen died on a Sun-day afternoon in this houseabout three years ago.

• • •

Today Curlee keeps busywith yard work, houseworkand church.He has three grandchil-

dren and a great-grandchild.On Nov. 9, he will be among17 veterans from Rowan

ATLANTA — Billy Wagn-er. ChipperJones. Mar-tin Prado.Boy, the

Atlanta Braves could haveused their injured stars Sun-day.Without Wagner, their clos-

er, the Braves’ failed to pro-tect a ninth-inning lead inGame 3. Without Jones andPrado, fill-in second basemanBrooks Conrad made three er-rors, including a miscue in theninth that led to the go-aheadrun in the San Francisco Gi-ants’ 3-2 victory.“It’s heartbreaking,” said

Tim Hudson who gave up fourhits and one unearned run —thanks to Conrad’s first error— in seven innings.

There was postgame talkthat manager Bobby Coxmight consider replacingConrad for Monday night’sGame 4.But how? With whom?“Most of our viable op-

tions are on the disabled list,”Jones said in a somberBraves clubhouse.The Braves tried not to

dwell on the players nolonger available. The injurylist also includes two startingpitchers, right-hander KrisMedlen (right elbow) and JairJurrjens (hamstring).“It’s easy to hang that up

as an excuse, but nobody inhere is using that as an ex-cuse,” Hudson said. “We haveconfidence in the guys we’reputting out there.”

FONTANA, Calif. — TonyStewart outdueled pointsleader Jimmie Johnson on alate restart and pulled awayfor his first career Sprint Cupwin at Auto Club Speedway onSunday.Stewart started 22nd after

a rough qualifying day, butwas strong from the start of alead-swapping 400-mile race,the final fall date at Fontana. He vaulted five spots in the

Chase for the Sprint Cupchampionship with his firstwin in 19 tries at California,but Johnson pushed his pointscushion to 36 over DennyHamlin with six races left.

Clint Bowyer went aroundJohnson on the final lap to fin-ish second in his first racewithout suspended crew chiefShane Wilson.It wasn’t such a good day

for several other Chase driv-ers. Kyle Busch, Greg Biffleand Carl Edwards all had theirChase chances dented by en-gine troubles, and MattKenseth finished a disappoint-ing 30th.Stewart was well back in

the Chase after running out offuel while leading late atLoudon and struggling Dover.He had a good showing lastweek at Kansas, finishingfourth, but still entered thisweekend 10th in points, 127behind Johnson.

After the so-so qualifyingrun, “Smoke” started work-ing his way to the front andwas fifth by the midpoint. He took the lead with 51

laps left and snagged it backafter briefly falling behind to

CROWDED HOUSE

jon c. lakey/saLisBUrY post

Fans who were too late to get a seat in the bleachers packed in along the fence at carson to watch two-time defending 3a state champ West rowan defeat the once-beaten cougars.

Pregame hoopla was exciting to watch, tooThe Carson-West Rowan foot-

ball extravaganza Fridaynight lived up to all the

pregame hype.Off the field.On the field, it

was another Fridaynight for two-timedefending statechampion WestRowan. It pum-meled a very goodCarson team 41-14.I wasn’t there for

that. The only badthing about doingthe Sun Droppregame Internet

show is that I have to leave by the

opening kickoff.But from 4 to 7 p.m., there

seemed to be just as much excite-ment off the field.At 4 p.m., there was a line of

people at the ticket window. That’s31⁄2 hours before kickoff. Somewere sitting at the gate. Others,like Randy Robertson and his fami-ly, were out in the parking lot tail-gating with — he was quick to tellme — cases of Sun Drop.By 5 p.m., fans for both teams

were already filing into the stands.At 5:30, Carson athletic director

Jim Grkman was informed thatpre-sale tickets had gone throughthe roof. The Cougar athletic pro-gram had already made $14,000.

•By 6:45, it was downright crazy

inside the place. We wondered where West

Rowan’s buses were. Well, theyhad entered down a side road andparked behind someone’s housenext to the baseball field. It wastreated like some sort of double-se-cret entrance. The pizza deliveryman used it.

What a sight to see concessionstand workers climbing over thefence to get the food.It was interesting watching the

teams warm up. Carson was jump-ing around, excited they were apart of one of North Carolina’s topmatchups. The kids seemed almost

giddy. Carson coach Mark Woodywas calm and focused, but youcould tell he was enjoying his teamgetting this chance at being aprime-time player.West Rowan? Scott Young’s

players said they had heard thetrash talk since the summer. Theyweren’t giddy. They were all busi-ness. They knew exactly who theywere as they stoically marchedonto the field. No laughing. No cut-ting up. Just eyes straight forward. The Falcons’ look said it all.

They were the big, bad blue andthey had a job to do. When the game began, Grkman

had issues. The scoreboard didn’twork so he had to call the electri-

cian. Grkman got the scoreboardworking in the second quarter.Carson fans wished it would

have stayed off. West was well onits way to its 38th straight victory.

•As the teams lined up for the

kickoff, I was driving out ontoHighway 152. Cars were lined upalong the road past I-85 and wind-ing around the curve up the hill.It’s incredible there were no acci-dents. People were walking in themiddle of the road. Others walkedthrough the woods. Some even saidthey parked at Gary’s Barbecueover a mile away and walked.

Russian owner promises winnerMOSCOW (AP) — New Jersey

Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov pre-sented his team to the Russian pub-lic Sunday, meeting many of the play-ers for the first time and reiteratinga vow to turn them into a champi-onship team in five years.

The Russian tycoon, who took overownership in May, hosted an exhibi-tion in Moscow where Nets stars in-cluding Devin Harris and Jordan Far-mar participated in drills with localkids aged 8 to 18.

Prokhorov high-fived playerswhen they were introduced and lat-er described ambitious plans to makethe playoffs in the coming season andwin a championship by 2015.

“Our task is to become championsin five years. I hope we’ll do it,”Prokhorov said.

For on-the-court success, he’llhave his work cut out. The Nets were12-70 last season, and missing out onLeBron James combined with a dis-appointing draft leaves many ob-servers wondering exactly what willmake them contenders this timearound.

The promise of a new arena inBrooklyn, a new coaching staff ledby Avery Johnson, and the raw ag-gression of a youthful roster,Prokhorov insisted, would ensure that“with a big fight, we’ll be in the play-offs next season.”

Success may hinge on the acquisi-tion of Carmelo Anthony. Whenasked, Prokhorov hinted the DenverNuggets All-Star was still a target de-spite The Associated Press being toldlast month by a person close to dis-cussions that the deal was dead.

“We will use any opportunity tomake the team stronger,” Prokhorovsaid, refusing to comment morespecifically.

His ambition was already evidentin the coach.

“We want Nets basketball to be thecream of the crop, of the NBA,” John-son told The Associated Press, call-ing the playoffs target “realistic” butwarning “nothing’s going to happenovernight.”

Johnson promised a more defen-sive-minded team with better 3-pointshooting this season.

Juan Pablo Montoya.In the lead again late, Stewart opted not

to pit after an accident took out Chase driv-er Kurt Busch and pulled away from John-son on the restart with two laps left. Bowyer passed Johnson, but was nowhere

close to Stewart at the end. Stewart movedup to fifth in the Chase, 107 points behindJohnson.Johnson had made his now-expected surge

to the top of the Chase standings, using a winat Dover and second last week at Kansas af-ter a poor qualifying session to move pastHamlin.This one has a little different feel, though,

the aura of invincibility gone from the No.48 after an atypical up-and-down season.Nine drivers were within 101 points afterKansas, making it one of the tightest racesJohnson has faced during his Cup-after-Cuprun.Still, he had won four of his previous six

starts at Fontana, including the past threefall races, and started a solid eighth Sundaywhile many of those chasing him had trou-ble in Friday’s qualifying.Five of the first six spots on the grid were

nabbed by non-Chasers and only Kenseth(third) and Biffle (seventh) were in the Top10.Way behind them were Chasers Harvick

(21st), Stewart (22nd), Hamlin (34th) andKurt Busch (38th) who had a lot of chasingto do. Hamlin’s climb became even tougherwhen he was dropped to the back of the fieldfor a transmission change.The good news for them

is that Auto Club Speedwayis nearly as wide as nearbyInterstate 10, passing openeven at four-wide.The Chasers took advan-

tage, too, with seven of thetop eight cars in the Chaseby Lap 90.Johnson was among the

movers, up to fifth in thefirst three laps, second after 19 and into thelead on Lap 47 even after dealing with de-bris on his front grill that pushed his enginetemperature reached near 300 degrees.He stayed out front for a while, had his

car fade to drop to 10th, then starting work-ing his way back to the front again.Johnson moved into second by passing

Kasey Kahne with nine laps left, but didn’thave enough to keep up with Stewart on therestart or to hold off Bowyer. Still, he walksaway with a bigger points lead.Harvick moved up to finish seventh to

remain third in the Chase and Hamlin waseighth after starting at the back of the packdue to a new transmission. Jeff Gordon, an-other Chase driver, overcame a late speed-ing penalty on pit road to finish ninth andmove up to fourth in the Chase, while KurtBusch was 21st after the accident.

ARLINGTON, Texas —Evan Lon-goria is stilll i m p i n g .Now he’s

also hitting, and the TampaBay Rays are headed home,one victory from an improba-ble comeback.Longoria snapped out of his

postseason slump with ahomer and two doubles, Car-los Pena scored twice with apair of extra-base hits of hisown and Tampa Bay escapedelimination again with a 5-2victory Sunday over the TexasRangers to force a decidingGame 5 in the AL division se-ries.“We’ve really battled to get

back to even,” Longoria said.“And I think we have a lot ofconfidence going home, andbeing able to finish the seriesin our home ballpark.”To do that they’ll have to

beat Cliff Lee who matched apostseason best with 10 strike-outs in a 5-1 series-openingvictory. The Rays lost the two

games at Tropicana Field be-fore winning twice in Texas topush a division series to a fifthgame for the first time since

the Los Angeles Angels beatthe New York Yankees in2005.“I still want to believe there

is a home-field advantage andhopefully that’s going to showup,” manager Joe Maddonsaid. “The extra game athome, I have been talkingabout it all along.”If the Rays win they will

join the 2001 Yankees as theonly teams to lose the first twogames at home and still win afive-game series.The series winner hosts

Game 1 of the AL champi-onship series Friday nightagainst Yankees. New Yorkswept Minnesota in threegames, clinching the other di-vision series with a 6-1 winSaturday night.Texas is still the only cur-

rent major league franchisethat has never won a postsea-son series, and still has notwon a playoff game in front ofits home fans (0-6).“It’s down to one game,

we’ve got Cliff going and cer-tainly feel good about that,”Rangers manager Ron Wash-ington said. “We have provedthat we can win there.”Tampa Bay sends 19-game

winner David Price to themound Tuesday night in a re-

match of the Game 1 starters.“I like our chances with

Dave on the mound again,”Longoria said.The Rays’ resurgent of-

fense helps, too.Longoria, still limited by a

left quad strain that forcedhim to miss the last 10 gamesof the regular season, was inan 0-for-12 slide before he andPena had consecutive doublesstarting the fourth againstTommy Hunter.Longoria added a two-run

homer in the fifth for a 5-0lead.“I kind of felt like Kirk

CINCINNATI — Cole Hamels com-pleted what Roy Halla-day started, putting thePhiladelphia Philliesback in the NL cham-

pionship series.Another ace, another dominating per-

formance.Hamels struck out nine in a five-hit-

ter, Chase Utley homered and the Philliesbeat the Reds 2-0 on Sunday night to fin-ish off the franchise’s first playoffsweep.Philadelphia, trying to become the

first NL team in 66 years to win threestraight pennants, will host San Francis-co or Atlanta in the NLCS opener on Sat-urday. The Giants beat the Braves 3-2Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five division series.Halladay opened this matchup with

the second no-hitter in postseason histo-ry. With Hamels and Roy Oswalt alsorested and ready to go for the next round,look out.

“Having three starters definitelyhelps,” Hamels said. “The playoffs areall about pitching.”The Reds, making their first postsea-

son appearance in 15 years, committedsix errors in the last two games of the se-ries after finishing second in the NL witha club-record .988 fielding percentageduring the regular season.The NL’s top offense managed only 11

hits in three games — the fewest for ateam in a postseason series. The previ-ous low was 13 by Texas against the NewYork Yankees in 1998.Hamels got Joey Votto to ground into

a double play after Brandon Phillips’leadoff single in the ninth, then struckout Scott Rolen to end the game. Thelanky left-hander threw 119 pitches inhis first postseason complete game, 82for strikes.After Rolen struck out for the eighth

time in the series, Hamels pumped hisfist and the Phillies celebrated with a fewchest bumps and a handshake line beforereturning to the locker room for morechampagne.

Of course, it all looked very routine— Charlie Manuel’s team has practicedthis a lot over the past couple of years.“I think when you have that playoff

experience and you’ve been able to go tothe World Series the past two years inrow, you know what it takes to get there,”Hamels said. “We don’t want to get toocarried away. ... We’re just going to moveon and play the best baseball we can.”Utley, greeted with loud boos and

chants of “Cheater! Cheater!” before eachat-bat, connected against Johnny Cueto inthe fifth, giving the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Itwas his 10th career postseason homer,moving him past teammate Jayson Werthand into first on the club’s career list.Utley started Philadelphia’s winning

rally in Game 2 when he was hit by apitch from hard-throwing reliever Arold-is Chapman in the seventh inning. The All-Star second baseman ac-

knowledged after the game he wasn’tsure if the ball hit him, and a recordcrowd of 44,599 at Great American BallPark made it clear what it thought of theplay.

evan Longoria and carlospena get excited after tampaBay evened the series.

Wagner, who had 37 saves, was replacedon the Braves’ postseason roster Sunday af-ter straining his left oblique on Friday night.Takashi Saito took his place on the roster.With Wagner watching, rookies Craig

Kimbrel and Mike Dunn combined to giveup two runs in the ninth, blowing a 2-1 lead.Kimbrel gave up two hits and Dunn gave upa run-scoring single to Aubrey Huff.“I thought they handled themselves well;

it could have just as easily been me,” Wag-ner said. “They were battling, doing every-thing you expected.”Cox turned to veteran right-hander Pe-

ter Moylan. Buster Posey hit a grounder thatbounced under Conrad’s glove and wentthrough his legs, allowing Freddy Sanchezto score the go-ahead run as many in thesellout crowd booed.Conrad, a utility infielder most of the sea-

son, was best known for his two pinch-hitgrand slams. He became a starter at thirdbase when Prado was lost on Sept. 27 withhip and oblique injuries.Almost immediately, Conrad’s miscues

began. He has eight errors in his last sevengames.Conrad’s two throwing errors led to a

combined seven unearned runs in key loss-es to Philadelphia on the last weekend of theregular season, prompting Cox to move the30-year-old rookie to second base. Omar In-fante moved from second base to third.When asked if he will start Conrad on

Monday, Cox said “I’ll have to sleep on it.”The Braves have shortstop Diory Her-

nandez and former third baseman TroyGlaus on their bench. Hernandez played one

inning at second base this season.Glaus started at first base, and was the NL

player of the month in May, before theBraves traded for Derrek Lee on Aug. 18.Glaus made only one regular-season appear-ance at third base and turned a key doubleplay when he played an inning at third basein Friday’s win.Mobility would be the question for Glaus,

who was unable to field a bunt on Fridaynight. He missed 14 games in August with aleft knee injury.Prado, the All-Star starter at second base,

moved to third when Jones sustained a sea-son-ending knee injury in August. Since Pra-do’s season-ending injury, Conrad’s woeshave continued at second base, the positionhe played through most of his minor leaguecareer.He made an error in the Braves’ 1-0 loss

in Game 1 and three more blunders Sunday.“It’s very hard,” Jones said. “There isn’t

a guy in here who wouldn’t take Brooks Con-rad in their foxhole any day. He works histail off. He deserves better than what hap-pened today. We want so bad for him to besuccessful.”As Cox made a pitching change after the

Giants took the lead, Conrad stood alone un-til Lee walked over from first base to offerconsolation.“I was just being there for him,” Lee said.

“We’ve all been there. We’ve all had toughgames. I didn’t say too much.”All players have had bad games, but three

errors in a playoff game is a different mat-ter. It matched a postseason record for er-rors in a game by a position player. He be-came the fourth second baseman to makethree errors.“He’s been such a huge part of this team,

he’s had so many big moments,” Lee said.

With Forte rushing for 166yards and Chicago’s first twotouchdowns rushing of theseason behind a revamped of-fensive line, the Bears (4-1)bounced back from an uglyloss against the New York Gi-ants, They did just enough tobeat the Panthers (0-5), whoagain couldn’t move the ballwith quarterback JimmyClausen.

The rookie was 9 of 22 for61 yards and a pick before be-ing lifted late in the game forMatt Moore, who then threwtwo interceptions. Carolina,the NFL’s lowest-scoringteam, managed two field goalsand 147 yards.

“You’re not going to gofrom a rookie quarterback toan All-Pro quarterback in oneweek or a few games or a sea-son,” Clausen said. “It’s just aprogression that you’ve got togo through.”

Carolina’s offseason cost-cutting and youth movementbegan with the decision to letPeppers leave in free agency.The North Carolina nativesigned a six-year, $91.5 mil-lion deal with the Bears.

With Cutler sidelined witha concussion and the 38-year-old Collins immobile, shakyand inaccurate before he wasyanked, Chicago needed itsdefense to silence a surly

crowd that booed Peppers atevery chance after nearlythree years of failed contractnegotiations.

“I loved it. I’m (in Chicago)now,” Peppers said. “You seethe shirt. I’m not for the hometeam, so that’s what I expect-ed.”

Collins, making his firstNFL start since 2007 in Wash-ington, completed just 6 of 16passes for 32 yards beforeCaleb Hanie took over in thefourth quarter. Yet whenCollins exited with a 6.2 pass-er rating, his team was ahead17-6.

The Panthers, who didn’thave top receiver Steve Smith(ankle), became the first NFLteam since 1999 to start rook-ies at QB and both receiverspots.

When the running game

dried up after a good firstdrive, the Panthers werestymied even with the help ofCollins’ poor passes. IsraelIdonije had three of Chicago’sfive sacks and the Bears over-came the loss of linebackerLance Briggs to an ankle in-jury in the second half.

It allowed Peppers to leaveCharlotte triumphant.

“Julius was trying to below-key as much as possible,but when you come home, it’salways exciting,” Bears coachLovie Smith said. “He has a lotof fans here and a lot of peo-ple saw him grow up from ayoung kid to the guy he is to-day. To come back with anoth-er team and win the footballgame and let everyone seehow well you are doing is big.”

Peppers shook smiling Car-olina coach John Fox’s handalmost immediately aftercoming onto the field about 35minutes before kickoff. Pep-pers called and lost the open-ing coin toss, but the Panthersdeferred to the second halfand the Bears had a 7-0 leadbefore the game was two min-utes old.

Danieal Manning returneda low kickoff 62 yards. Fourplays later, Forte took a pitch18 yards to the end zone.

Forte surpassed 100 yardsbefore the first quarter wasover, racing 68 yards downthe left sideline for a score.Not bad for a team without atouchdown rushing in its firstfour games.

“It made it an easier offen-sive game for us to run theball like that first,” Forte said.

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — A mes-sage on Terrell Owens’ Twit-ter feed Sunday violated theNFL’s rules against using so-cial media before games.

A post on his Twitter ac-count noted that a fan wear-ing his jersey at the Bengals’game against Tampa Baywould get a football signedby him and Chad Ochocinco.The message was posted anhour before kickoff, violat-ing the NFL’s social mediapolicy that prohibits posts 90minutes before a game.

Owens was on the fieldshortly after the messagewas posted on his Twitter ac-count.

“A lucky fan wearing myjersey 2day will get a signedfootball by Me & Ocho Cin-co! My asst will pick U out!!Good luck!” the messagesaid.

Even if someone else post-ed it on his account, it wouldviolate the NFL’s restrictionson players and coaches using

social media before, duringand after games.

NFL spokesman GregAiello said, “We will lookinto it.” He added nothingfurther was expected today.

Ochocinco was fined$25,000 by the league fortweeting before and duringa preseason game againstPhiladelphia in August. Hewas the first player fined forviolating the year-old poli-cy.

Ochocinco apologized af-ter his violation and prom-ised the league he wouldn’tdo it again. He has kept hisword, respecting the NFL’stime frame for tweeting.Several hours before thekickoff on Sunday — wellwithin NFL guidelines —Ochocinco tweeted about hispet pigeon and a few othertopics.

“Man watching the morn-ing news n something al-ways is going on wrong inthe world, will there ever ba 24 hr problem free day?”Ochocinco tweeted.

EAST RUTHERFORD,N.J. — Other than boxers,wrestlers and the occa-sional diva wide receiver,professional athletes tendto be careful with theirwords.

Rex Ryan would ratherbe careful with the foot-ball. His philosophy: Letthe verbiage flow.

As long as you back upwhat you say, what does itmatter, anyway?

So far, Ryan’s NewYork Jets are putting up,so they don’t have to shutup. When they meet BrettFavre, Randy Moss andthe Minnesota Vikingstonight — the Jets’ thirdprime-time game in fiveweeks — it’s an opportuni-ty to solidify their role asa title contender.

And yet another chanceto brag.

“No. 1, we’ve got a goodfootball team here, an ex-cellent football team,”Ryan said. “We’ve gotguys that are passionateabout each other; this is ateam.”

That 3-1 team meets a1-2 Vikings squad that istrying to avoid being dis-tracted by accusationsfrom a former Jets gamehostess that Favre senther inappropriate mes-sages and lewd photoswhen he played for theJets in 2008. Favre wouldnot respond last week to areport on the website

Deadspin, which also saidhe came on to massagetherapists who workedpart-time for the Jets.

On the field, New Yorkhas looked as good as any-one since an opening 10-9loss to Baltimore. The Jetsthen swept their divisionrivals by beating the Patri-ots, Dolphins and Bills inrather convincing fashion.

“Nobody felt worse thanwe did after that game,”Ryan said of the defeat inthe Jets’ first real game intheir new stadium. “We didgive great effort, but theresults weren’t great. Wehave to talk about this thewhole season. We lost to agood team by a point.

“Our team is resilient.We proved that last yearwhen we were the firstteam in NFL history toovercome two three-gamelosing streaks (and makethe playoffs). I think thatspoke volumes about ourteam. We have a speciallocker room. Our guyscompete. They love it.

“The thing I’m reallyproud of is the way theyprepare ... the way ourguys study and do the ex-tra things, take care ofthemselves in the weightroom. That gives us anedge over a lot of teams.”

Most teams don’t like togive any sort of verbaledge to the opposition. Youknow, the old pin-it-up-on-the-bulletin-board advan-tage.

Ryan’s Jets don’t care.

Redskins winAssociated Press

LANDOVER, Md. — Forthe fourth time in five weeks,

the nervesmountedalong theWashing-

ton Redskins sideline as thegame once again came downthe final snap. They’re find-ing all sorts of ways to win— except, that is, by takinga knee.

This time the shouts of ex-ultation had to wait until Gra-ham Gano’s 33-yard fieldgoal sailed through the up-rights 6:54 into overtime. Itgave the Redskins a 16-13win over the Green BayPackers and an unexpected3-2 record for a team thatwon only four games lastseason.

It’s almost too much totake.

“You wish you could dosomething different, man,”receiver Santana Moss said,shaking his head. “But I’lltake ’em. As long as they’reWs out there, I’ll take ’em.”

Washington has had twogames go to overtime and

two that ended on passesthrown into the end zone bythe opposing team at the endof regulation. This one cameafter the Redskins were thor-oughly dominated for muchof the afternoon, the defenseallowing 427 yards and theoffense allowing DonovanMcNabb to get sacked fivetimes. They also overcame a10-point deficit in the fourthquarter.

But the Redskins havecome out on top more oftenthan not, a switch universal-ly attributed in the lockerroom to new coach MikeShanahan.

“These are the games,”fullback Mike Sellers said,“we didn’t win in the past.”

And these are the gamesthe Packers (3-2) aren’t sup-posed to lose, not if they’regoing to keep their SuperBowl aspirations intact.

They were coming off afortunate, two-point win overDetroit that had no one in thelocker room celebrating, andthat followed a three-pointloss to Chicago in which theyhad a team-record 18 penal-ties.

Nobody’s perfect Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Hartscored the game’s only touchdown onan 11-yard run with 4:02 to go and theIndianapolis Colts handed the KansasCity Chiefs their first loss of the sea-son 19-9 on Sunday, leaving the NFLwithout any unbeaten teams.

It’s the first time since 1970 that noteam has reached 4-0.

The Colts (3-2) won in atypical fash-ion. For the first time this season, Pey-ton Manning failed to top 300 yards orthrow for a touchdown. He finished 26-of-44 for 244 yards with one intercep-tion and couldn’t get the Colts into theend zone until Hart’s clinching score.

Hart replaced Joseph Addai mid-way through the third quarter withwhat appeared to be a right shoulderinjury. He did not return.

Jamaal Charles carried 16 times for87 yards, and Matt Cassel was 16-of-29for 156 yards for Kansas City (3-1)Ryan Succop kicked three field goals.

The Chiefs opened the game withan onside kick, but the ball never trav-eled the required 10 yards. The Coltstook possession and Adam Vinatieriopened the scoring with a 20-yard fieldgoal.

Cardinals 30, Saints 20GLENDALE, Ariz. — Max Hall’s

debut as Arizona’s quarterback was awinning one as the Cardinals defenseintercepted three passes by DrewBrees.

The undrafted rookie from BYUcompleted 17 of 27 passes for 168yards, Jay Feely kicked three fieldgoals and Kerry Rhodes returned afumble 27 yards for a score to lead theway.

Hall threw an interception that ledto an early Saints field goal and fum-bled twice, but both turned out to bekey plays for Arizona (3-2). The firstwas returned 2 yards by Cardinalstackle Levi Brown for a touchdown.Guard Alan Faneca pounced on the oth-er for a 10-yard gain.

Raiders, 35 Chargers 27OAKLAND, Calif. — Michael Bush

ran 3 yards for the go-ahead touch-down with 3:39 remaining and TyvonBranch returned a fumble 64 yards fora score as Oakland snapped a 13-gamelosing streak against San Diego.

All it took to end the seven-yeardrought for the Raiders (2-3) was twoblocked two punts, two long touchdowndrives in the second half led by back-up quarterback Jason Campbell andthe big play at the end by Branch andMichael Huff.

This was Oakland’s first win overSan Diego (2-3) since September 2003— which was the second longest activestreak to Buffalo’s 14-game losingstreak to New England.

Titans 34, Cowboys 27ARLINGTON, Texas — Chris John-

son scored a pair of 1-yard touchdownsin the fourth quarter, lifting Tennesseeover mistake-prone Dallas.

The Cowboys got behind 17-3 withpenalties and errors on defense. Dal-las managed to tie it at 17 and 20, thena tipped pass that was intercepted setup Johnson’s first touchdown of the fi-nal period.

Tony Romo tied it again at 27 on atouchdown throw to Jason Witten, thenoffensive lineman Marc Colombo waspenalized 15 yards for celebrating. Dal-las (1-3) kicked off from farther backand Tennessee’s Marc Mariani re-turned it to the 11. A penalty on thetackle moved the ball to the 5, settingup Johnson’s next touchdown.

Lions 44, Rams 6DETROIT — Stefan Logan’s 105-

yard kickoff return broke a tie and sentthe Lions to their first win of the sea-son and ended a 10-game losing streak.

The win was the Lions’ most-lop-sided since beating the expansion Jack-sonville Jaguars 44-0 in 1995.

Logan’s franchise-record tyingscore helped the Lions (1-4) outscoreSt. Louis 21-3 in the second quarter,and they didn’t let up.

The Rams (2-3) lost standout receiv-er Mark Clayton with an injured kneein the first quarter and limited rookieSam Bradford’s passing options — hewas 23 of 45 for 215 yards with two in-terceptions.

Ravens 31, Broncos 17BALTIMORE — Ray Rice ran for

133 yards and two touchdowns, andBaltimore frustrated Denver quarter-back Kyle Orton.

Baltimore (4-1) jumped to a 17-0lead and coasted to its third straightwin, the first this season by double dig-its. The Ravens moved past idle Pitts-burgh into sole possession of first placein the AFC North.

The Broncos (2-3) fell to 0-5 againstthe Ravens in Baltimore. In thosegames, Denver has been outscored 142-56, including 60-24 over the last twoyears.

Orton completed his fourth straight300-yard passing game with a 44-yardtouchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd with35 seconds left. It was of little conso-lation to the Broncos, who hurt them-selves by losing a fumble and commit-ting 10 penalties for 90 yards.

Giants 34, Texans 10HOUSTON — Eli Manning threw

two of his three touchdown passes toHakeem Nicks and the Giants heldHouston to a franchise-low 24 yardsrushing.

Nicks finished with career highs of12 catches and 130 yards, another bigday for a receiver against the Texans’porous secondary. Manning finished27 of 42 for 297 yards, and threw histhird TD pass to Steve Smith in thefourth quarter.

Osi Umenyiora sacked Texans quar-terback Matt Schaub twice and alsoforced a fumble for the Giants (3-2).New York held NFL rushing leader Ar-ian Foster to 25 yards on 11 carries.

Falcons 20, Browns 10CLEVELAND — Defensive end

Kroy Biermann’s spectacular intercep-tion return for a touchdown in thefourth quarter led Atlanta.

After pressuring Browns quarter-back Jake Delhomme, Biermannleaped to deflect the pass and thenmade a diving headfirst catch like aseasoned wide receiver. Knowing hehad not been touched, Biermannscrambled to his feet and rumbled 31yards on a twisting, turning effort togive the Falcons a 20-10 lead with 4:01left.

Matt Ryan threw a 45-yard TD passto Roddy White as the Falcons (4-1)won their fourth straight. MichaelTurner rushed for 140 yards.

Jaguars 36, Bills 26ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Tight

end Marcedes Lewis caught two touch-downs passes as Jacksonville ralliedfrom a 10-point deficit to keep Buffa-lo winless.

David Garrard shook off an inter-ception and a lost fumble to throw forthree touchdowns as the Jaguars (3-2)snapped a four-game road skid. MikeSims-Walker’s 7-yard touchdown putthe Jaguars ahead for good, 27-20 leadlate in the third quarter.

Lewis scored on 1- and 27-yard re-ceptions to give him five TDs on theseason, breaking the Jaguars’ fran-chise record for scores by a tight end.Josh Scobee made all five field-goal at-tempts.

Buccaneers 24, Bengals 21CINCINNATI — Carson Palmer’s

third interception gave Tampa Bay onelast chance, and Connor Barth kickeda 31-yard field goal with 1 second left.

Second-year quarterback Josh Free-man set up the winning kick with a sen-sational pass, hitting Micheal Spurlockalong the sideline for a 21-yard com-pletion to the 13. Spurlock kept bothtoes inbound for a falling-down catchthat was upheld on review.

It was a signature win for youngTampa Bay (3-1), which hadn’t beatena contender. With Freeman leading theway, the Buccaneers took down the de-fending AFC North champions.

The Bengals (2-3) had a chance fora go-ahead field goal, but Palmer’stipped pass went to safety SabbyPiscitelli, setting up Tampa Bay’s win-ning kick.

Eagles 27, 49ers 24SAN FRANCISCO — While the

Philadelphia Eagles came together justfine behind Kevin Kolb, the San Fran-cisco 49ers appeared to be comingapart at the seams until Alex Smith leda thrilling fourth-quarter rally that felljust short.

Kolb passed for 253 yards while ca-pably filling in for injured MichaelVick, and Quintin Mikell returnedSmith’s fumble 51 yards for a touch-down early in the fourth quarter in avictory over the winless 49ers on Sun-day night. LeSean McCoy rushed for92 yards and a score, and TrevardLindley made a last-minute intercep-tion for the Eagles (3-2).

Sunday’s sums

Indianapolis back Mike Hart lunges for a touchdown despite the efforts ofKansas City’s Kendrick Lewis (23).

10B • MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010 C O M I C S SALISBURY POST

BY PHILLIP ALDERUnited Feature Syndicate

BackStoppers is a non-profit charity in the SaintLouis area. It provides sup-port and financial assistanceto the spouses and childrenof police officers, firefight-ers, publicly funded para-medics and EMTs, and vol-unteer fire protection unitswho lost their lives perform-ing their duties.

On Aug. 29, BridgeHaven Bridge Club in SaintLouis held a pro-am dupli-cate that raised $3,500 forBackStoppers. I competedin the game and saw sever-al instructive errors, whichI will highlight in thisweek’s columns.

You are South, in threediamonds. West leads theheart 10. What would beyour plan?

The first four calls were

predictable. North was fullvalue for his raise to three di-amonds, but he was not strongenough for two no-trump. IfSouth had extra values andwas thinking about three no-trump, he could cue-bid three

hearts to ask North to bidthree no-trump with a heartstopper or two.

East judged well not to bidthree hearts, because Northwould have been delighted todouble and collect 300.

Declarer won the firsttrick with his heart king,cashed the diamond ace andclub ace, ruffed a club in thedummy, and discarded aspade on the heart ace to take11 tricks. However, Southshould have tested East attrick one by calling for dum-my’s heart jack. If East cov-ers with the queen, then Southgets both of his spade losersaway on the ace and nine ofhearts and wins 12 tricks. Yes,East should not cover, but ifyou always test your oppo-nents, they will err occasion-ally.

Plus 150 was worth 11matchpoints out of 23; plus 170would have gained 15.5.

SALISBURY POST T V / H O R O S C O P E MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010 • 11B

Monday, Oct. 11Something in which you’ve invested con-

siderable time and effort will start producingdesirable results in the next business cycle.Reap all that you can from it before thinkingabout taking on anything new.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You will put some-thing to work for yourself that you just re-cently learned from a friend. This useful bitof information will work equally well for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might be moreimportant than usual to dicker a bit for bet-ter terms concerning a commercial matter.The reason: someone is not being fair.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Honor yourpromises to the letter, and you’ll gain evengreater respect from your associates than youalready enjoy. You’ll find that it will serve youextremely well down the line.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even thoughyou might be capable of doing certain thingsfar better than your peers, one among themmight try to do you a favor when s/he takeson one of your jobs. Be grateful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you’re con-vinced that a difficult decision involving afriend is the best thing for all concerned, ex-ecute it without looking back. Do what youhave to do.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Much morethan usual can be accomplished, because youhave both the motivation and the determina-tion to follow through on anything you tack-le. Focus on worthy assignments.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — With just a lit-tle bit of figuring, a serious matter that hasbeen on your mind can be resolved to your sat-isfaction. Don’t hesitate to take a well-calcu-lated risk if one is called for.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Even if certainthings seem to be going against you, youshouldn’t get discouraged and give up prema-turely. Once you check them out, you couldfind there really isn’t anything wrong.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Carefully ana-lyze in detail what you believe to be a toughproposal. Chances are it will contain clausesthat actually contain some benefit for you thatyou didn’t expect or even know existed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You may dis-cover that something you thought of as asticky wicket is actually generating gains foryou that are being expanded upon every day.You’ll be happy that you hung on.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — This could be oneof those days when you’ll fit in well and havea good rapport with just about everybody, re-gardless of who they are. With your specialknack, you’ll make each person feel special.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t let it dis-turb you if it seems like rewards for your ef-forts are coming in smaller portions than usu-al. Be satisfied with the fact that what yougain will be more than what you started with.

Popcorn popped in olive oil OK on Gott dietDear Dr. Gott : I started

your diet six days ago. Ihave lost one pound and amthrilled. I wonder if I caneat popcorn as a snackwhile on your diet. I pop itin olive oil and don’t usebutter.

Dear Reader: Congratula-tions on your initial success.A weight loss of about one

pound perweek is aver-age andh e a l t h f u lwhile on myno-flour, no-sugar diet.

You caneat popcornon my diet,but be care-ful aboutwhat type

you choose. Air-popped isthe best, because it doesn’trequire any fat. But if youchoose to pop it in oil, oliveis the best. After popping,you can sprinkle on season-ings, such as garlic powder,chili powder or even a littlesalt. Remember, modera-tion is key, especially withregard to salt intake.

Dear Dr. Gott: I wanted tolet you know how much I ap-preciate your column. Twoyears ago, I had been suf-fering from night sweatsowing to perimenopause,and your column advisedtaking bee pollen. I tried it,and within just a few days,my night sweats all but dis-appeared. I kept taking thebee pollen (1,000 milligramsdaily) for a few months andthen stopped, thinking I did-n’t need it anymore. Sever-al months passed with no

sweats, but recently theybegan again, as well as pe-riodic daytime hot flashes.I went back on the beepollen and, again, after justa few days, I don’t have anymore sweating, day ornight! I just wanted to passthis on to you and your read-ers, and to thank you, again,for your wonderful advice.

Dear Reader: Thank youfor your kind comments. Iam happy to have helped.

Bee pollen has been usedfor years. It is touted tocure certain health prob-lems and to be an exception-ally nutritious food. It hasundergone years of re-search, but so far, nothingcan be confirmed. Howev-er, there is a plethora of an-ecdotal information aboutits use and benefits, espe-cially online.

Bee pollen is simply pollenthat is collected from the bod-ies of bees. It has vitamins,minerals, protein, fats andcarbohydrates and may evencontain some bee saliva.

Available in many health-food stores, it can be foundas a supplement or in skin-softening products. Someeven claim that it can bebeneficial in treating oreven curing, asthma, aller-gies, alcoholism, stomachupset and more, but remem-ber that none of this hasbeen proven scientifically.

If you suffer from aller-gies to pollen, this supple-ment may cause a serious oreven life-threatening reac-tion, so it is important totalk to your physician be-fore using it. It shouldn’t beused by pregnant or breast-feeding women but other-

wise appears to be safe forshort-term use.

To provide related infor-mation, I am sending you acopy of my Health Report"Menopause." Other readerswho would like a copyshould send a self-ad-dressed stamped No. 10 en-velope and a $2 check ormoney order payable toNewsletter and mailed toNewsletter, P.O. Box 167,Wickliffe, OH 44092. Besure to mention the title orprint an order form off mywebsite at www.AskDr-GottMD.com.

Dear Dr. Gott: Your articleon seizures was totally gar-bled and seriously incorrectin places. I’m an epileptolo-gist.

Dear Doctor: I apologizefor any errors that mayhave appeared, but yourbrief note is not very help-ful in explaining how andwhere I went wrong, if in-deed I did. Perhaps nexttime you want to tell some-one he did wrong, you couldelaborate just a bit.

For my readers, anepileptologist is a neurolo-gist who specializes inepilepsy.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a re-tired physician and the au-thor of several books, in-cluding "Live Longer, LiveBetter," "Dr. Gott’s No Flour,No Sugar Diet" and "Dr.Gott’s No Flour, No SugarCookbook," which are avail-able at most bookstores oronline. His website iswww.AskDrGottMD.com.
