SANFORD – Beautiful and evocative music of China fi lled the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Cen-ter Sunday as the March Rain Ensemble of Nanjing Normal University’s College of Music performed.

The fi ve-member ensemble played on traditional Chinese instruments, delighting the au-dience with a variety of folk and

modern Chinese songs, from lyrical tone poems to fast-paced works. At the end of the concert, the audience gave the musicians a standing ovation.

“It was amazing,” said Roger Bailey, of Sanford. “I’m so glad I came.”

Central Carolina Commu-nity College and its Confucius Classroom hosted the event in partnership with North Carolina

ELECTION 2010

BURR STUMPS UNANNOUNCED LOCALLYRepublican senator defends campaign funds, criticizes Democrat-led D.C.By BILLY [email protected]

SANFORD — U.S. Sen. Richard Burr made a surprise stop in Sanford Monday in the midst of his campaign for re-election, walking the down-town streets and making an appearance at the county GOP headquarters on Moore Street.

The Republican incumbent

said he is touring doz-ens of towns this week along with his wife, part of a tradition the incumbent senator touts of pounding

the streets to encourage voters once the polls are open.

“We get in the car and we don’t tell anybody where we’re going,” Burr said.

Monday’s itinerary in-cluded Sanford, Southern Pines and Siler City, with the GOP senator taking the opportunity to reinforce his calls for cuts in the federal budget while throwing barbs at Washington leadership and his Democratic opponent,

current N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall.

“If you like the direction we’re heading, then I’m not your candidate,” Burr said.

Marshall made her own stop in Sanford two weeks ago, traveling in a camper adorned with campaign signs

GOVERNMENT

Buildersagainstcul-de-sacregulationsProposed changeswould increase sizefor easier emergencyvehicle access

By BILLY [email protected]

SANFORD — Some local developers are up in arms over a fi refi ghter-recommended ordinance overhaul that would force wider cul-de-sacs in Lee County.

Lee County commissioners heard from a pair of develop-ers Monday, both expressing reservations about a plan to direct builders to add 5 feet to the radius and right-of-way requirements for cul-de-sacs.

The proposal stems from city and county fi re offi cials who worried that the width of the neighborhood fi xtures could pose a maneuvering problem for the largest fi re trucks, said Sanford Assistant Planning Director Marshall Downey.

“The current design is sim-ply very tight,” Downey said.

The ordinance shift would effectively add 10 feet to the diameter of the cul-de-sacs, by increasing the minimum radius from 40 feet to 45 feet.

Planners would also require that the 45-foot right of way be extended to 50 feet.

The ordinance change would not affect already-com-pleted cul-de-sacs, although future projects would have to meet the standards if they are approved by county commis-sioners.

County commissioners did not vote on the ordinance Monday, following their standard policy of allowing the county Planning Board to weigh in fi rst.

Planning Board members were set to discuss the provi-sion at a meeting Monday

PRE-SCHOOLS FEEL TECH DRIVEGrant brings two toddler computer stations to local child centers

By ALEXA [email protected]

SANFORD — A few of Lee County’s youngest students are about to get a little more computer-savvy thanks to Communities in Schools of Lee County. The nonprofi t organization received a grant for two IBM Young Explorer

computer stations, which were delivered to Floyd L. Knight-The Children’s Center and Warren Williams Child Devel-opment Center on Monday morning.

Encased in brightly-colored Little Tykes plastic furniture, the computer stations are aimed at children age 3-7 and feature educational software

to help young students learn basic math, science and language concepts including letters, numbers, colors and shapes.

“It’s just to give them an extra bit of knowledge as they go into kindergarten,” said

Among those performing were (from left) Ziyin Wu on the erhu, a violin-type instrument, and Siting Wang on the yangqing, a ham-mered dulcimer. The ensemble received a standing ovation.

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, October 19, 2010 / 3ALocal

By JENNIFER [email protected]

CAMERON — Local businesses owner James Swearengin has par-ticipated in dozens of motorcycle runs for charity, but never one he’s had a hand in planning.

That changes this weekend when Swearengin , owner of J&K Leather in Tramway, presents the 2010 Sandhills Bike Fest. The Cameron get-together, according to Swearengin, is the fi rst of its kind in the Sanford area.

“You’d be surprised how much money is raised by people who ride,” said the avid motorcyclist, who owns a Suzuki Boulevard. “You won’t fi nd a better group of people.”

Swearengin is a veteran of the biker benefi t scene, having made runs for causes ranging from bikers killed in accidents to children’s burn centers. He orga-nized the Sandhills Bike Fest with friends, and already, at least 15 volunteers have pledged to help.

Swearengin, his wife and friends took on the project, he said, because “we just thought it would be fun.”

“And this way you can control where the money is going as far as donations,” he said.

The proceeds will benefi t low-income seniors from the area living in St. Joseph’s retirement community, Swearengin said, as well as children in The Shamrock First Baptist Church boys home in Haines City, Fla. Swearengin knows and is related to elders in the church, and he said the funds will be used to give the children a Christmas.

“We’ll take the kids to Wal-Mart and K-Mart and let them shop for themselves,” he said.

Those who attend the bike fest, which will be held at 2957 Cy-press Church Road in Cameron, must be at least 21 years old. The festivities get underway at 9 a.m. Friday and don’t wind down until noon on Sunday.

“We’re expecting 500-plus bikers,” Swearengin said, adding that the site will have plenty of camper parking (without hookup) available for overnight guests. Tent campers are also welcome.

The fest will also feature vendors, biker games, and live Southern rock and blues by Picture Show, the Fog Blues Band and Highway One South.

On Saturday at 10 a.m., the bikers will embark on a 100-mile poker run through Vass and Car-thage before circling back around through Sanford. Awards will be distributed during closing cer-emonies at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

“Even if you don’t have a mo-torcycle,” Swearengin said, “you are more than welcome to come on out and enjoy it.”

Tickets are $14 per person per day, which includes camping, or $35 for the entire weekend. Discounted tickets are available in advance from J&K Leather, located at 2308 Jefferson Davis Highway in Sanford.

WANT TO GO?WHAT: Sandhills Bike FestWHEN: Oct. 22, 23 and 24. The

event begins at 9 a.m. Friday and ends at noon on Sunday.

WHERE: 2957 Cypress Church Road, Cameron

COST: At the gate, a day Pass is $14 per person, and a weekend pass is $30 per person.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact James Swearengin at 919-777-6873 or visit www.sandhillsbikefest.com.

Heather Little, executive director of Communi-ties in Schools of Lee County. “Technology is so ingrained in kids now, so we thought it would give them an edge.”

The goal of Com-munities in Schools is to prevent kids from dropping out of school by developing a community of support to encourage them. Communities in Schools of North Carolina received a grant dur-ing the summer for the Young Explorer stations, which are part of IBM’s KidSmart Early Learning Program. The program reaches more than 10 million students across the globe.

When she learned the state organization had received the grant, Little applied for two stations for Communities in Schools of Lee County.

“There was lots of pa-perwork involved, and a big prayer before turning it in,” Little said. “A little luck goes a long way with a grant like that.”

When she found out her request had been approved, Little notifi ed the principals of Warren Williams and Floyd L. Knight that they would be the ones to receive the computer stations. Floyd L. Knight Principal An-gela Cockman said she is grateful to Communities in Schools for the dona-tion and feels fortunate that her students will be able to use the Young Explorer educational software.

“The Little Tykes com-puter system will be an additional bonus to help our children,” Cockman said. “When comput-ers are brought into our school, our children ben-efi t greatly and have the potential to become more technologically savvy.”

Little said she felt the Young Explorer computer stations would be helpful

additions to Warren Wil-liams and Floyd L. Knight to better prepare their students for a school sys-tem with ever-expanding technological resources. Floyd L. Knight recently received its fi rst com-puter lab, and Cockman said the new computer station fi ts right in with that initiative.

“The donation will be a wonderful addition not only for the pre-school students, but also for some of our upper grade-level students,” Cockman said.

Warren Williams Principal Silvia Bayer was out of town Monday and could not be reached for comment, but Little said Bayer was excited when she learned the news because her students had expressed an interest in working with computers.

“I know Silvia has lots of little fi ngers over there

itching to use a comput-er,” Little said. “It’s fun for them to have something educational but geared toward young kids.”

Now that the Young Ex-plorer computer stations are up and running, Little and the Communities in Schools team will turn their attention to their next major project. The organization will team up with Lee County Schools on Oct. 23 for a food drive at Piggly Wiggly for Make a Difference Day.

The food collected will go toward the BackPack Pals program, which pro-vides backpacks contain-ing non-perishable food to students in Lee County who have little to no food

at home on the week-ends. The program serves more than 250 students in Lee County elementary schools, Warren Williams and Floyd L. Knight.

“(Make a Difference Day) is celebrating its 20th year,” Little said. “It’s about your community being active and getting out to volunteer.”

A button may seem so simple. It may be, if one considers it just a button.

A button, however, can always tell a story. A button might be from a wedding dress … or an old mili-tary uniform … or from a sporting event uniform … or from a dress worn by grandmother. It’s easy to see how buttons can actually bring back delightful memories and can often tell a story from our past.

There’s a special chair cur-rently on view at Central Carolina Hospital, until Oct. 21. It’s a chair adorned with many buttons, which was designed by a North Carolina college student as a tribute to breast cancer victims.

As Gwyn Sandlin, breast health

navigator at the hospital, has said: “This symbolizes how important it is for women to empower them-selves and take action to promote their own breast health.”

Among the many buttons is a clasp from an Olympic jacket donated by former North Carolina State University women’s basket-ball coach Kay Yow, one of the true legends of the sport.

The chair, which is available for viewing from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. until Oct. 21, is the center-piece of the exhibit. There also are interactive kiosks, which includes survivor stories.

If just one person who takes the time to visit the chair, and decides to have a mammogram as a way of

watching over her health, then the effort to bring the chair here has been worth its while.

June Gunter, a member of the Central Carolina Hospital Auxiliary, says of the chair, “I hope this chair will attract grandmothers to bring their granddaughters and mothers to bring their daughters over to see

it. The younger that you can make them aware and impress upon them, the better their chances.”

Here’s hoping that this chair of buttons will serve as an inspiration so that all women will be diligently in watching after their health, par-ticularly their breast health.

To those women who are fi ght-ing breast cancer, remember what the Jim Valvano, the former N.C. State University men’s basketball coach, once said, “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”

As Ms. Sandlin said, “It is treat-able when it’s found early. Early detection is the best protection, and a mammogram could save their life.”

Button carries a lot of meaning this month

Issue Button Chair will be

on exhibit at Central Carolina Hospital through Thursday

Our stance The chair, which is

on display as part of national Breast Can-cer Awareness Month, serves as a reminder for women to have a mammogram, as breast cancer is easier fought the sooner it is found

Voters learned a greatdeal at Herald’s forum

To the Editor:Everyone should thank The Herald

for the candidate’s forum that it conducted Oct. 7. It was a mission accomplished.

The forum was very successful in allowing voters to witness where the candidates stand on issues and gave them a glimpse of their character traits.

There was a clear distinction between the candidates opposing one another. Based upon their com-ments and answers to questions, one party must believe that the Ti-tanic had a successful voyage. They would have voters think that the economic situation is so rosy that the federal, state and Lee County governments just need to continue confi scating money from taxpayers and spend it.

Their common theme was to talk about the need to generate revenue for the government.

This was further evidenced by their continuing to promote incentives for multi-billion dollar corporations. Incentives have been a miserable failure. Otherwise, the unemploy-ment rate would not be hovering around double digits as it has for several months.

Does anyone believe that one of these huge corporations would continue to provide a product or service that was such a failure? That product line or service would be eliminated as soon as the fi rst performance results were recorded. However, the politicians continue to spend taxpayer money on incentives that produce little more than head-lines and photos of ribbon-cutting ceremonies.

In contrast, the Republicans called for lower taxes so that families and businesses can keep their hard-earned money and spend it as they choose. Candidates Mike Stone, running for the House District 51 seat; and commissioner candidates Linda Shook, Jim Womack and Charlie Parks pointed out that the high state and Lee County tax rates are not conducive to attracting employers.

Sensibly, Parks called for com-prehensive, independent audits to determine where taxpayer money is being spent. This is a common fi rst step for any entity that wants to reduce spending. Astonishingly, his opponent, Commissioner Amy Dalrymple, thinks that such audits are unnecessary. This is another clear indication that Dalrymple and her comrades are not serious about their fi duciary responsibility to taxpayers.

In his elitist and loud tone, Demo-crat Mike Womble asked the mod-erator to throw attendees out that were applauding the Republicans.

Then there was Democrat Butch Johnson whose remarks directed at Womack drew the only round of boos from the audience. Johnson, who claims that he is an ardent supporter of law enforcement and incentives, might want to compare the salaries of the sheriff and the director of economic development; the disparity might annoy him.

Thanks to The Herald, voters learned a great deal. And for the record, the Titanic sank during its fi rst voyage.

Our View

Letters to the Editor

NEW YORK — Witches vs. bearded Marxists. Actors vs. hicks. Toon Town vs. Parodyville.

The world isn’t too much with us. We have left the planet.

As we race toward the midterm elections, our political conversation has devolved beyond the silly to the absurd — and the sharks are jumping sharks. Is it even possi-ble to have a serious conversation anymore?

In a debate Wednesday night, Republican Christine O’Donnell looked at her opponent for the U.S. Senate, Chris Coons — a clean-shaven, shiny-pated Rhodes scholar/attor-ney/Yale Divinity grad — and said that his 1985 op-ed titled, “Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist” should send shivers up the spines of all voters.

She was referring to Coons’ own long-ago admission that he became a Democrat after discovering economic disparity during a college-era visit to Kenya. What is it about Kenya? Coons’ insistence that he wrote the op-ed as a joke simply isn’t credible, if you read it. It was sincere and thoughtful. He clearly was transformed by his experience, which included living with a poor Kenyan family and studying under a Marxist profes-sor, but this doesn’t have much bearing on who he is today.

I can’t speak for an entire generation, but I had plenty of Marxist professors and was deeply moved by the economic disparities in the world, which is why I was a Democrat back in the day. But I grew up to be a happy capitalist. And never mind that we’re mean-while supposed to have equal patience with O’Donnell’s youthful declaration that she had dabbled in witchcraft.

It seems to me the young Marxist and the young witch cancel each other out. But what about now? Can we hold each responsible for who and what they are and say today?

If so, then we have ample cause for shiv-ers. O’Donnell, when pressed about whether she believed in evolution, dodged the ques-tion and said the decision about whether to teach evolution or creationism should be left to local school districts and that what she believes isn’t relevant. But of course it is.

Coons’ palpable uneasiness doubtless was owing equally to his contempt for her shallow knowledge and to his inability to challenge her without seeming a bully. Instead, he seemed merely condescending and snarky. If the witch and Marxist were a wash, the Everyday American triumphed over the elite.

Ditto the scene in Las Vegas Thursday night, where tea party candidate Sharron Angle managed to hold her own against Harry Reid. Of course, to be fair, all Angle and O’Donnell had to do was not be weird — hardly a high bar for public office.

Political parties, meanwhile, have dis-tilled themselves so completely to their essences that they have caricatured them-selves into cartoonish self-parody. Witness the recent town hall wherein President

Obama’s audience was culled from a cast-ing call and the Republican ad campaign in West Virginia that sought “hicky” people. Oy, as we say down South.

Republicans and Democrats are so busy pointing fingers, they fail to see what is plainly obvious. They are mirror images of each other and each is equally cynical and corrupt.

“A Conversation with President Obama,” the town hall meeting co-sponsored by MTV/BET/CMT, featured an hour-long chat with young people, i.e. the president’s base of last resort. Prior to the event, the cast-ing website Backstage.com put out a call for “males and females 18-plus” to fill out a questionnaire to include “your name, phone number, hometown, school attending, your job and what issues, if any, you are inter-ested in, or passionate about.”

Well, it beats risking another encounter with Velma Hart, the middle-aged African-American woman who, at another recent, less-scripted Town Hall meeting told Obama that she was “exhausted” defending him.

Lest the GOP lose itself in mirth, let’s turn to the Republican casting call for people who are “hicky,” presumably an endear-ing adjective referring to the behavioral attributes of “hicks” — aka ignorant, poor whites.

After days of denials, the National Republican Senatorial Committee had to acknowledge that a media consultant it hired, Jamestown Associates, had in fact put out the call for hicks to flesh out ads for the Senate race.

The political divide between Elites and Ordinary Americans has never been starker or more comical, or more resplendent with self-loathing. When even Republicans view their base as ignorant rednecks — and Democrats no longer try to conceal their reliance on artifice and propaganda — farce has become the new reality.

Politics today

Voterapathy?

RALEIGH — In the days running up to the election, Republicans may need to be on guard for a twist of

fate.By most accounts, the GOP is set

for a successful Election Night. Polls put Republicans ahead in races up and down the ballot. In the state Senate, GOP leaders are already fi guring out who is going to be in charge of what. In the state House, Democrats are coming to terms with the fact that they could lose their majority, something few believed pos-sible earlier in the year.

But as strange as it may seem, the GOP could actually be too well-posi-tioned in the run-up to the election.

So far, their top-of-the-ticket candi-date, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, has been able to run away and hide from Demo-cratic challenger Elaine Marshall. A run-ning average of poll results on realclear-politics.com puts Burr 15 percentage points ahead. The race has generated all the excitement of a lecture on the anatomy of an amoeba.

Without any excitement at the top of the ticket, will all those angry, invigorat-ed Republicans materialize on Election Day? What about independents, who are said to be breaking two-to-one in favor of Republican candidates this time around?

Marshall simply hasn’t had the cam-paign cash needed to mount an effective campaign against an incumbent like Burr.

The fi rst debate between the two could have made a fussy newborn sleep for three days straight. The second, with Libertarian Mike Beitler along to spice up the affair, was a bit more interesting.

Marshall and Beitler tag-teamed Burr, beating up on the incumbent over his support of the fi nancial industry bailout legislation and painting him as a Wash-ington insider.

Being the old salesman that he is, Burr deftly defl ected the verbal jabs. He said the initial bailout “saved the econ-omy” and that he voted against release of the second half of the $700 billion. He explained his second vote by saying that he didn’t want the government to take ownership stakes in banks.

But even if this televised debate was lively, it was probably only seen by a frac-tion of voters in the state.

Burr and Marshall — without Beitler — will go at each other one more time before the election. The rest will be stump speeches and TV ads.

It’s possible this latest debate could mark a turning point in which the race heats up. Maybe what dollars Marshall has been able to hoard fi nal make their way to the airwaves.

Burr would probably prefer that didn’t happen, that he coast to victory without much fuss.

In this odd election season, that result may not be in the best interest of his Republican friends down the ballot.

A dull race at the top of the ticket isn’t the formula for success as you move low-er. For the GOP to maximize its opportu-nities to take seats in the state legislature, it needs voter interest and energy.

So far, this U.S. Senate race isn’t doing too well on that front.

Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

PRAYER: Father, help me to have a burden for the unsaved, may I be a faithful witness for You. Amen.

and one message that read “not paid for by big corporation and special interests.”

The Democrat, who reportedly trails Burr at the poles, has pounded the senator for accept-ing millions in cam-paign dollars from cor-porate backers, a fact that Marshall contends indicates Burr is out of touch with the typical North Carolinian.

Burr rebuffed Marshall’s criticisms Monday, suggesting that denying business in-terests the opportunity to contribute to cam-paigns is tantamount to infringing the right to free speech.

“I realize she’s des-perate and that’s why she attacks me for be-ing more successful at fundraising,” Burr said.

The senator has not only drawn fi re from Marshall, but he has faced harsh criticism as well from Libertarian candidate Mike Beitler.

On Monday, Burr advocated for cutting the federal budget back to 2008 standards, al-though Democrats have attempted to link the senator with backing big spending in the hey-day of former President George W. Bush.

Despite the criti-cisms, Burr has called for strict scrutiny of the federal budget and defended his vote for the 2008 economic recovery package that has become a target of fi scal conservatives, a measure that he says prevented the economy from an even deeper fall during the recession.

“Most adults under-stand that what we’re doing today is going to kill our children and our grandchildren with debt,” he said. “You can’t just keep kicking the can down the road.”

Burr predicted Republicans would seize control of the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives in this year’s elections, although he said the battle for U.S. Senate power would remain close.

Polls prior to Burr’s recent debates with Marshall and Beitler in-dicated the Republican has a comfortable lead on his opponents.

night, although no word of their decision was available at press time.

Local developers called on commissioners

to dismiss the plan, argu-ing the new regulations would increase the size of cul-de-sacs by 26 per-cent, therefore increasing the price.

“To us, this seems like mostly a convenience issue,” said local builder

Van Groce Jr. “We’re talking about making a 90-foot cul-de-sac that is twice the size of Horner Boulevard to occasionally turn a fi re truck around.”

Meanwhile, local Real-tor Albert Adcock warned commissioners that the

cost of the larger cul-de-sacs would be passed on to homebuyers.

Sanford and Broadway offi cials are also expected to vote on the changes to Lee County’s unifi ed development ordinance.

State University’s Con-fucius Classroom and Nanjing Normal Univer-sity. The ensemble had performed at N.C. State on Saturday.

The performers, all undergraduate students at the College of Music, were Dingchen Xu, on the dizi, a fl ute; Ziyin Wu, on the erhu, a violin-type instru-ment; Siting Wang, on the yangqing, a hammered dulcimer; Qi Bao, on the lute-like pipa; and Jingyu Wu, on the zither-like guzheng.

The works ranged from pieces such as “Strolling Along the Su Causeway,” a haunting number performed by the whole ensemble, to the rousing “Horse Racing,” a musical depiction of horse racing during a festival, per-formed on the erhu and yangqing.

As the musicians moved through their pro-gram, information about each piece was projected onto a large screen ac-

companied by delicate but beautiful watercolor paintings depicting the music’s theme and adding to the understanding and enjoyment of the work.

Following the free con-cert, the audience was in-vited to the stage to speak with the musicians and learn more about the in-struments. Nancy Pickard, of Sanford, took advantage of the opportunity to not only learn more about the pipa, but to try to play it with the assistance of musician Qi Bao.

“The concert was won-derful,” she said. “I would love to have more. I’m delighted that the college has the Confucius Class-room and is able to bring us a taste of something completely different.”

Central Carolina Com-munity College’s Con-fucius Classroom is the fi rst in the United States established at a communi-ty college. CCCC President Bud Marchant brought the idea of establishing a Con-fucius Classroom when he became president in 2008.

“Chinese is second only to English as the language of international commerce

and China is increasingly important economically to North Carolina,” he said. “Our Confucius Classroom will help to prepare people with language skills and cultural understanding to take advantage of these in-creasing ties, increase mu-tual understanding, help improve relations between our countries, and benefi t businesses in both.”

In 2009, NCSU’s Confucius Institute part-nered with the college to establish the Confucius Classroom at the college’s Lee County Campus. The university’s Institute is a partnership with Nanjing Normal University and the Chinese Ministry of Education. Dr. Shuya Che, associate professor of Chinese linguistics and literature at Nanjing Nor-mal University, is a visiting professor at the college for the Confucius Classroom.

Confucius, a great Chinese thinker and social philosopher of the 6th century B.C., taught that education and wisdom are fundamental principles of life. The Chinese Ministry of Education has estab-lished Confucius Institutes

and Classrooms at educa-tional institutions in many nations to teach Mandarin Chinese language and Chinese culture.

This outreach facilitates a variety of educational and cultural exchanges, such as the March Rain Ensemble and an upcom-ing Nov. 7 performance at the college by the Ethnic Arts Troupe from Jishou University. Tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance by calling the col-lege at (919) 718-7268.

“I’m so glad we can bring performances such as the ensemble to Central Carolina Community College and Sanford,” said Professor Xiaoying Wong, deputy director of NCSU’s Confucius Institute. “It is a good chance for people of different cultures to know, appreciate, and under-stand each other.”

UPCOMINGCentral Carolina Commu-

nity College and its Confu-cius Classroom present the Ethnic Arts Troupe of Jishou University, China, in perfor-mance from 3 to 4:30 p.m., Nov. 7, at the college’s Den-nis A. Wicker Civic Center.

SANFORD — The Southern Lee Cavaliers got a huge boost from their bench as they re-main undefeated in the Cape Fear Valley Conference.

Southern Lee had five goals from its bench players in its 10-1 rout of conference foe Overhills on Monday night at Cavalier Stadium.

Even after trailing 1-0 through the first few minutes of the match, the Cavaliers never got flustered as they re-sponded with 10 unanswered goals to improve to 15-2 over-all and 8-0 in the conference, where they remain a game ahead of Union Pines for first place.

“One of our biggest strengths is our depth,” said Southern Lee head coach Jason Burman. “We are very deep and other teams aren’t. There’s not a lot of teams in our conference that are deep enough to compete with us for 80 minutes. When you have 18,19, 20 guys out there a night, you eventually wear teams down. We had five goals

off the bench here against Overhills.”

The Cavaliers were led by Christian Navarro’s two goals and assist in the victory. Car-los Flores and Arturo Adame also had two goals apiece for the Cavaliers. Rolando Sanchez, Rogelio Vivas, Alex

Palme and Miguel Aguirre each contributed with a goal for Southern Lee.

Ben Holt added three as-sists and Adolfo Torres had two assists to contribute to Southern Lee’s victory.

SEAU DRIVES OFF CLIFF, SUSTAINS MINOR INJURIES

CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — For-mer NFL star linebacker Junior Seau drove off a cliff and was hospitalized with minor injuries Monday, less than nine hours after he was arrested on suspi-cion of domestic violence.

The 12-time Pro Bowler’s white Cadillac SUV was found on the beach about 100 feet below the roadside, said Carls-bad police Lt. Kelly Cain. Cain said it wasn’t a sheer cliff, but was a significant, rough slope. Seau was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital in San Diego.

Seau’s 25-year-old live-in girlfriend told authorities that Seau assaulted her during an argument Sunday night at his Oceanside home, according to Oceanside police. She ap-peared to have minor injuries and did not require medical treatment.

Seau, 41, was arrested out-side his home about two hours after police arrived. He wasn’t home when authorities arrived but they asked him to return when he called his girlfriend.

Seau posted bail and was released from the San Diego County jail in Vista.

‘Canes’ road trip could be good or bad

The Carolina Hurri-canes’ current west coast swing could

end up putting a damper on the season-opening trek to Finland, where the team opened the season with consecutive wins.

Since then, a loss at Ottawa and Sunday’s 5-1 drubbing at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks have evened Carolina’s record at 2-2. By the time the team finally returns to Raleigh for its home opener on Oct. 27 against the reigning division champion Washington Capi-tals, three additional road games will reveal whether the annual flight of early-season boo-birds will have taken up early residence in the rafters of the RBC Center.

First things first, though. The ‘Canes take on the San Jose Sharks tonight, then venture to Los Ange-les to take on the Kings on Wednesday (both games begin at 10:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast by Fox Sports Carolina) before end-ing the road trip with a visit

Moore back inat QBJohn Fox benches Clausen after just three weeks

By MIKE CRANSTONAP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Things are so bad on offense for the Carolina Panthers that strug-gling rookie Jimmy Clausen was benched Monday to make way for a quarterback with eight turnovers and a 33.3 passer rating.

Only Matt Moore is hop-ing a nostalgic film session will help him regain his 2009 form and end Carolina’s nightmare start to the sea-son.

The Panthers (0-5) re-turned from their bye weekend to hear coach John Fox announce in a team meeting that Moore, benched after six turnovers in the first two games, would again take control of the NFL’s worst of-fense against San Francisco (1-5) on Sunday.

Fox announced the move to reporters in a statement through a team spokesman.

“We have struggled on of-fense since the beginning of the season,” said Fox, whose team is averaging a league-low 10.4 points a game. “Sometimes it helps to step back and watch and Matt has had a chance to do that.”

What Moore saw wasn’t pretty — perhaps uglier than his own performance in the first two games. Clausen, a second-round pick from Notre Dame, has completed just 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen, who has struggled finding receivers, has also fumbled seven times, losing two, and holds a 52.2 passer rating.

Fox yanked Clausen late in Carolina’s last game, a 23-6 loss to Chicago on Oct. 10 in which top receiver Steve Smith (ankle) was side-

Special to The Herald

BUIES CREEK —Campbell’s new baseball stadium at Taylor Field began phase one of construction this week, beginning the overhaul project that will give the Camels a new and im-proved home.

Construction of the facility, which will be carried out in two phases wrapped around the 2011 season, will be completed prior to opening day, 2012.

“This is a tremendous day for our program with the start of our stadium project,” said CU head coach Greg Goff. “I’m very thankful for the huge commitment from our administration and appreciate all they have done to make this day happen.”

The process began on Monday morning with the demolition of existing bathrooms, entrance, storage facil-ity, and exterior fencing. Upgrades during the initial phase will include a new entrance gate and

ticket booth, restroom and concession facility, exterior wrought iron fencing and improved exterior landscaping. Phase one is scheduled to be completed in early February, 2011.

Phase two is slated to begin in June 2011 with the demolition of the existing Taylor Field grandstand, press box and concession stand. A new grandstand will then be added with seating for 1,985 fans, including nearly 600 chair-backs, plus a new pressbox, new brick exterior for the stadium, dugouts and increased picnic and pavilion seating down the foul lines.

“With this project, Campbell Baseball, its fans and alumni will have one of the finest facilities on the East Coast to enjoy a game,” added Goff. “With these upgrades, the sky is the limit to where we can take this program from here.”

In 2010, Campbell’s third year under head coach Greg Goff, the Camels enjoyed another

record-breaking season, producing their highest wins total (28) in nearly a decade, and registering back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2001 by posting a 28-27 overall record. Those victories included triumphs over North Carolina State and East Carolina, and ran CU’s mark against in-state ri-vals to 22-7 over the past two seasons.

Over the past three years, Campbell has set 43 school records, including 19 during the 2010 campaign. For the third-straight season, CU set a new school mark for stolen bases (119). In fact, only one A-Sun school (Lipscomb) attempted as many steals as Coach Goff’s squad swiped dur-ing 2010.

For more information on how you may assist in the construction of the new facility at Taylor Field, contact the Camp-bell University Athletics Department at (910) 893-1328.

soccerCrusaders looking to advance to semis

SANFORD — The Grace Christian soccer team is just one win away from getting to the state semifinals for the second straight season.

The No. 4 seed Crusaders (10-10), who played without their starting lineup for much of the season, will travel to No. 1 seed Vandalia Christian (14-2) in the quarterfinals of the NCCSA 3-A state tourna-ment at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Greensboro.

The Vikings, who have lost two in a row headed into their third meeting with the Crusaders, had a first-round bye which landed them a spot in the quarterfinals.

Since the Crusaders have been at full strength, they have won two straight including their 2-1 victory over county rival Lee Christian in the open-ing round of the tournament last week.

Last year, Grace Christian edged the Vikings 1-0 in overtime to advance to the semifinals.

The Crusaders ended up falling in the semifinals before winning the consolation game to finish third in the state.

The semifinals will begin on Friday at Alamance Christian in Graham. Both the champion-ship and consolation games will be played on Saturday.

Kahne sick to his stomach and of carBy JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE — Hours after he was too ill to get back in his wounded race car, Kasey Kahne ran a Sunday morning 5k for his charity in a shade over 22 minutes.

“That was the slowest I ever ran a 5K,” he said. “I’m definitely feeling the effects.”

Yes, Kahne was physi-cally sick Saturday night, and said he vomited once after his accident 124 laps into the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

He was also sick of his race car, frustrated with running poorly and disgusted that his brakes had failed for the third time this season, and second time in three races. Had he not gotten sick, Kahne said Sunday he might have got-ten back in the car after his Richard Petty Motorsports crew repaired some of the damage.

By that time, though, he was 100 laps down. He was queasy, annoyed with the brakes and angry at criticism from an unnamed RPM employee.

So he said no, he couldn’t continue, and the team grabbed J.J. Yeley to finish the race.

“I was told that I needed to start doing my part, (that) is what one guy told me last night after the race,” Kahne said at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, at the finish line of the Kasey Kahne Foundation 5-kilo-meter run.

“I’m not going to say names, but I was told that I need to start doing my part. I can’t control the issues I’ve had this year. I don’t know how many parts I’ve broke,” he said. “If I really

thought about it, I could come up with all kinds of stuff.

“You can’t control that as a driver. I’m doing my part. I just need the car. I work as hard as anybody out there.”

Kahne’s disappearing act was a mere sideshow to Jamie McMurray’s victory and yet another improb-able comeback for Jimmie Johnson. The four-time defending NASCAR cham-pion spun early, dropped to 37th in the field, and rallied to finish second and widen his lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings.

Johnson was up early Sunday to join fellow NAS-CAR driver Joey Logano in running Kahne’s charity “5Kahne.” The inaugural run drew 302 runners and raised $30,000 for his foundation.

It was a nice show of support from Johnson to his future teammate. Kah-ne signed to join Hendrick Motorsports in 2012 this spring, and will move to Red Bull Racing next year as a one-season holding spot before he makes his

eventual move to HMS.Kahne confirmed

Sunday that crew chief Kenny Francis will move to Red Bull with him, and that Francis will have the option of staying at Red Bull or moving to Hendrick in 2012.

At the rate things are going, it would be surpris-ing if Kahne doesn’t try to move to Red Bull sometime over the final five races of this year.

He’s miserable at RPM, where a year after making the Chase, he’s winless, ranked 21st in the stand-ings and has just nine top-10 finishes. The final straw seemed to be Saturday night, when Kahne said he had never been so mad in a race car.

“I lost it,” he said. “I was just mad. I came into the race thinking we had a shot to win, thinking we had a good car in practice, we had a good shot. It went green. We were a little bit tight, but still actually passed cars and really felt good and then boom, my brakes are gone.

“It’s not like you have half-brakes, like you can

pump them. Your foot goes to the floor. It bottoms out. It’s a joke.”

Kahne thinks the problem is the brake fluid RPM is using, adding that Francis wanted to change to a different brand but was overruled because Kahne is the only one of eight teams using the fluid having a problem.

“Basically we run stuff that’s not very good compared to some of the other teams,” Kahne said. “So once you lose your brakes, you can’t get them back. With that fluid, you can’t get them back. There are other fluids that you can, but with ours you can’t. Their point is that we have eight teams and I’m the only one that’s had this issue, and that’s a good point.

“But I’ve never had any issues in my past six years,” he said. “If you look at brakes after a race, my brake pads are better than any one of the other seven or the same as the best ones that don’t use much brake. So it’s just a mess, really.”

Tiger Woods said on Monday that he is more at peace with his personal life than when he returned to golf in April, and he remains hopeful that his season will not end without a victory.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods says he never learned more in a year in which he never won less.

Woods said Monday he is more at peace with his personal life than when he returned to golf in April, and he remains hopeful that his season will not end without a victory.

“I learned a lot about myself, and I learned how things went wrong, why they went wrong, and had to take a pretty deep and introspec-tive look at myself. And there wasn’t a lot of things I like about it,” Woods said in a video conference call for his Chevron World Challenge. “But I had to do it, and I did it, and grateful that I did.

“I think that I come from a much better place, much more grounded place now than I ever have before.”

The Chevron World Chal-lenge, to be played Dec. 3-6 at Sherwood Country Club, will be his final tournament of the year. Woods next plays Nov. 4 in Shanghai at the HSBC Champions, his last chance to win an official PGA Tour event. Then he’s off to Melbourne to defend his title in the Australian Masters before closing out the year at Sherwood.Woods is a four-time winner of his tournament, although he hasn’t played the last two years. He was recovering from knee surgery in 2008, and he missed last year because it was one week after the car accident that exposed his extramarital af-

fairs and shattered his image as sports’ most impeccable star.

Woods took four months off from golf to go through rehab, returning at the Masters. He tied for fourth at Augusta National, and he tied for fourth at the U.S. Open. Those were his two best results of the year, however, as he failed to win a tournament and did not even reach the FedEx Cup finale at the Tour Champi-onship.

He was divorced on Aug. 23 from Elin Nordegren. Woods said his two children are getting adjusted to their new living conditions.

“I think everyone’s cer-tainly more at peace, and so am I,” Woods said.

His tournament has one of its best fields, with defending champion Jim Furyk and Woods joining a dozen other Ryder Cup players.

The list includes three major champions — all but Masters champ Phil Mickel-son — along with newcom-ers Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson.

The two sponsor exemp-tions were awarded to Camilo Villegas and Stewart Cink.

In his last performance, Woods was 9 under through 15 holes when he beat Fran-cesco Molinari in singles, playing the final seven holes in 7-under-par. Europe still won the Ryder Cup, although Woods had his best week in the event, going 3-1.

Woods getting used to a new life

“Once we started moving the ball around like we usually do, things went well,” said Bur-man. “I thought early on we were trying too hard to score. We were getting too caught up in dribbling and shoot-ing instead of moving the ball around. Once we stopped doing that and started playing our game, things went very well for us.”

The Cavaliers will travel to Union Pines on Wednesday in a critical game for both teams. A

win will all but seal the Cape Fear Valley regular season championship for the Cavaliers once again, but a loss will keep the Vikings in the hunt.

Headed into Wednes-day night’s game at Union Pines, Southern Lee will be focusing on stopping Allen Cha, who leads the Vikings in goals this season.

“He’s very good,” said Burman. “He’s got a bunch of goals for them. He’s fast, he’s strong and he knows how to finish. Our seniors have played against players of his caliber before. This is going to be quite a chal-lenge for our group.”

With four games

remaining on the season, the Cavaliers know that another conference championship is well within their reach.

“We’re in a good spot right now,” said Burman. “We’re a game and a half up and we could be 2.5 games up by the end of the night. We need to win the conference because that means home games in the playoffs. It’ll mean that we can host a playoff game in the first and second round. That’s huge for us. We’re going to be facing some tough teams in the postsea-son and we’d feel better playing at home against them.”

Burman says that de-

spite the sluggish start, he’s pleased with how his starters and his bench responded after getting down 1-0 early on to Overhills.

“Every team is going to try and play their best game against us,” said Burman. “We’ve got to expect it every single night. Once we got down 1-0 early, we knew that they were playing their hardest. We knew that it was time for us to play our hardest as well. Our bench was huge. The score was: Our Bench 5, Starters 5. It was pretty balanced and that’s what you need to have in or-der to win.”

CROSSWORD

DEAR ABBY: I recently gave birth to a beautiful, perfect baby girl, “Cassie.” I also just returned to work. I would love to stay home, but I cannot afford to fi nancially. I am lucky that my best friend, “Mary Ellen,” doesn’t have to work and has offered to care for my little 8-week-old bundle of joy.

My problem is, every day when I go to pick up Cassie, I must wait for Mary Ellen to say goodbye to her. She has started instructing me about how Cassie likes to sleep, be burped and held. While I appreci-ate her watching and caring for my little one, I am Cassie’s mom and I know what she likes. The time I have with my daughter is precious. I just want to pick her up and go home.

How do I tell my friend it upsets me that she feels she should tell me about how to care for my own baby? I feel guilty and sad that I must work, and her comments make it worse. I know she’s only trying to help. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but what can I do?

— WORKING MOMMY IN BALTIMORE

DEAR WORKING MOMMY: Before your resentment grows any further, set Mary Ellen straight. Tell her you’re grateful she can watch Cassie, but when you come to pick her up you want the baby ready to go. Tell your friend the time you must spend away from your daughter is painful and when she “suggests” how to hold or burp

the baby, it makes you feel it’s a refl ection on your maternal ability.

If Mary Ellen gets it, things will improve. If she doesn’t, make other arrangements for your child. Your friend may be becoming too attached to your baby and con-fused about her role.

❏ ❏ ❏

DEAR ABBY: I run a successful restaurant business. One of my key employees, “Zayne,” has Tourette’s syndrome. He has been a loyal and valuable waiter for many years.

When customers ask what is wrong with him because he makes noises or hits himself, how should I respond? Most of our regular customers understand his condi-tion and ignore it. However, we do get the occasional socially inept customer who gawks or asks rude questions.

I would defend and protect Zayne. He knows people ask about

him, and if they question him, he tells them about his condition. What’s the best way to respond politely to people who don’t have a clue?

— ZAYNE’S BOSS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

DEAR BOSS: If you are asked about Zayne, tell the questioner, “That’s Zayne. He has been a valued employee here for many years. If you want an answer to your question, ask HIM.”

❏ ❏ ❏

DEAR ABBY: Every time my son and his wife get into a big argu-ment, she kicks him out of the bedroom and has their 8-year-old daughter sleep with her. This has happened many times in my granddaughter’s life.

Should I be concerned for my granddaughter, or mind my own business?

— CONCERNED GRANDMA IN FLORIDA

DEAR CONCERNED GRANDMA: If you’re smart you won’t insert yourself into your son and daugh-ter-in-law’s marital problems. They have enough of them without that. As to your granddaughter being invited to bunk with her mother when her father is in the doghouse -- I don’t think it will harm the child. Hearing her par-ents squabble might, however.

Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: This is a year to strive for perfection and to make changes with regard to your profession. Take a serious look at what you have been doing and, if it hasn’t satisfied you, try your hand at something you enjoy. No matter what your stage of life, focus more on your happiness and fulfilling your dreams, hopes and wishes. Respond to a creative urge. Your numbers are 1, 7, 10, 27, 33, 38, 42

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A relationship problem may cloud your day. Being secretive will be to blame. Try to open up or get the person you are dealing with to discuss pending concerns. Communication is the only way to fix what’s wrong. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take control of any sit-uation that has to do with a business or personal partnership. The way you handle people and issues will determine how far you can get. You will surprise everyone with your choices, especially when love enters the picture. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t take promises made to heart; they aren’t likely to manifest into anything unless it benefits the person doing the offer-ing. There are no freebies today. Do for yourself and you won’t be let down. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Follow your heart, not your head. Don’t be afraid to act on impulse. If you love someone, be vocal. Love is in the stars and not following through will be a lost opportunity. A creative project will be prof-itable. 5 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be looking for change or something new but don’t make altera-tions without doing ample research. Chances are, what you want and what you get will differ drastical-ly. Be smart regarding what you offer others. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Emotional confusion will make you question

your current situation. Before you decide to make a move, consider what you have already. It’s appar-ent you just need to make a slight adjustment, not a complete makeover. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Trust in your own judgment. Someone putting pressure on you will be trying to get something for nothing. Follow through with your own interests and goals. What you have to offer will draw attention, suggestions and propositions. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do your best and stop worrying. Put yourself out there and don’t be afraid to display what you have to offer. Unless you share, you cannot expect to get results. People have to get to know what you are all about and how sincere you are. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do what you can for someone who needs your help and you will avoid criticism and complaints. Not paying enough atten-tion to home and fam-ily will result in tension and actions beyond your control. Think before you speak. 2 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make a call or send an e-mail to someone you miss or who is from your past. Reconnecting with old friends or visiting places you haven’t been in a long time will inspire you to pursue goals you set when life was less compli-cated. 4 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s a money day. Spend wisely, invest in what you know and do best and put something away for unexpected expenses. Good things are head-ing your way. Look over contracts and personal papers. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will make wise choices and can negoti-ate deals easily. Love is in the stars and getting to the heart of any personal matter is favored. A com-mitment made will be hon-ored. 3 stars

God canhelp you withyour marriage

Q: I don’t understand my husband. We’ve been hap-pily married over 50 years, but recently he’s gotten very forgetful, and when I get after him for it he gets angry. I don’t know how to deal with this. — Mrs. R.McF.

A: I’m not a doctor, of course, and I don’t want to alarm you, but your husband could be in the early stages of a serious neurological problem, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The fi rst thing you need to do is bring this to his doctor’s attention.

Even if it can’t be cured, his doctor can help you learn to cope with the problem and point you to resources that could help you. Many communities, for example, have social service agencies dealing with the problems of older people. Share your concern also with your children; they need to know and may be able to help you in practical ways. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help; you shouldn’t carry this burden alone. The Bible says, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfi ll the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).

No matter what his diag-nosis is, ask God to help you be the kind of wife your husbnd needs today — just as you’ve been in the past. Instead of rebuking him for not remembering something, be patient, gentle and kind; rebuking him will only upset him. Remember: If he does have a medical problem that’s impairing his memory, he can’t help it.

May this also be a time when you both grow closer to Christ, and discover afresh the hope we have in Him.

MY ANSWERODDS AND ENDS

Give me a Venti brew:Seattle Starbucks serves beer

SEATTLE (AP) — Something new is on the menu at a renovated Starbucks in Seattle: beer and wine.

The store that reopened Monday is the fi rst under the Starbucks brand to offer alcohol.

Craft beer and local wines go on sale after 4 p.m. The idea is to offer drinks and a wider variety of savory food that will attract customers after the morning espresso rush.

The store closed in July for the reno-vation, which also includes a circular coffee bar that brings customers closer to the baristas.

The Olive Way store is one of Star-bucks Corp.’s percolators for ideas that could someday spread to the Seattle-based chain’s other locations. Company offi cials have declined to say how soon elements from the shop might appear elsewhere.

Mexican borough makes world’s biggest enchilada

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexico City borough went for the whole enchilada — and got it!

Residents of Iztapalapa cooked up a 230-foot-long (70-meter-long), almost 1 1/2-ton enchilada Sunday. Guinness record offi cial Ralph Hannah announced that it was the world’s biggest.

The colossal concoction was made of corn tortillas, white onions, serrano chilis, green tomatoes, avocado, cheese,

cream and a sea of salsas, among other ingredients.

“With this Guinness record we are showing the world that Iztapalapa is a high-level tourist destination,” said Mexico City tourism secretary Alejandro Rojas.

Mexico City has gone for a number of world records recently, including the largest number of people dancing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and most people kissing simultaneously.

Wisconsin woman fi nds stolen dress, solves burglaries

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) — Wis-consin police say a 25-year-old woman’s search for her stolen wedding dress helped solve several other burglaries as well.

After a storage unit owner called Alena Gadke of Chippewa Falls on Oct. 8 to tell her of some break-ins, Gadke went there and noticed her wedding dress was gone.

Police assured her they would fi nd the thieves, but Gadke was impatient. That night she went to Craigslist and found her dress.

She says she traded 40 texts and voice messages with the seller, who kept changing the time and location to meet.

Gadke alerted police and the next day she met the seller in a Chippewa Falls parking lot, where police arrested the 16-year-old girl. That led police to a 17-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man, who confessed to multiple thefts.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers.

to the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday. All three op-ponents are playoff-level teams. At the conclusion of the trip, Carolina’s brief rest (three days without a game) at the start of next week will be much-deserved: dur-ing the five-game road journey, the Hurricanes will have visited four countries, traveled more than 15,000 miles and endured 11 different time zones.

Long road trips to start a season usually serve as a bonding agent, particularly for a young team. Players talk about the camaraderie of the road and the intense fo-cus on game preparation and adjusting to new sys-tems, and often use long trips as a springboard to a strong season. Plus,

because the season tends to be weighted toward the end with an abun-dance of home games, it’s a chance to stockpile points and tilt the playoff picture in your own direction come March and April.

But the wear and tear and the grind of the experience — particu-larly for Carolina, since there was a European leg involved — can have the opposite effect, especially if you’re not scoring goals. The Hur-ricanes have scored just four goals since netting four goals in their first game against the Wild. And Cam Ward, who was great in that first game and spectacular in the second, has been average since behind a defense that has, as fans have seen at the start of previ-ous seasons, less than stellar. Barring a monu-mental performance in tonight’s game at San

Jose, Ward will likely get a breather in favor of backup goalie Justin Pe-ters (unless head coach Paul Maurice gives Peters the nod tonight).

The loss Sunday at Vancouver meant the Hurricanes haven’t won there since 1999. The west hasn’t been good to Carolina in the past. This is the first extended road trip to start a season the team has had in many years, though, so there’s time to right the ship.

Hurricanes notes: Captain Eric Staal is two goals away for tying Geoff Sanderson for fifth place in franchise history

in goals (196)... Carolina has five officially-listed “rookies” on the roster, including forwards Dray-son Bowman, Zac Dalpe and Jeff Skinner; defen-seman Jamie McBain; and goaltender Peters. Last season, the team’s opening-night roster featured an average age of 30.35; this year, it was 26.4... Carolina is 29th out of the league’s 30 teams in the penalty kill, allowing goals on six of 19 power plays... San Jose’s roster features former Hurricane Niclas Wallin; Los Angeles’ fea-tures former Hurricane Justin Williams.

lined. Moore, though, then quickly threw two interceptions against the Bears.

That left the 26-year-old Moore with two touchdown passes, six picks and two lost fumbles. But Moore, who got more time with the starters in practice last week, said he’s gained confidence watching year-old film.

It was Moore’s strong end to last season in place of an injured an in-effective Jake Delhomme — going 4-1 with eight touchdowns and one interception — that got Delhomme released in March.

“It’s a good reminder of what you can do,” said Moore, who has com-pleted just 42 percent of his passes this season. “It

reminds me, when times are tough, that it can be done. You can do this, and you’ve made this throw, you’ve been in this situation, and here’s the result.”

The Panthers, hopeful Moore was the answer at QB after Delhomme’s 18 interceptions in 2009, gave him a one-year, $3.043 million deal as a restricted free agent in the offseason.

But that was before Clausen’s arrival and a roster overhaul that left Carolina the NFL’s youngest team with an extremely young receiv-ing corps. Opposing teams have consistently loaded the line of scrim-mage with extra defend-ers to stop the run. With Smith often double covered, the QBs have had few options.

The Panthers have five touchdowns and 16 turnovers.

“A big thing for us,

and something I’m going to try to stress, is game management,” Moore said. “Getting as many yards as you can on first and second down and staying in third-and-short and third-and-rea-sonable. We’ve been in third-and-long way too much this year.”

Clausen, who has looked uncomfortable in the pocket, wasn’t made available to reporters on Monday. Fox last week dismissed talk that Clau-sen’s confidence could be shaken if he continued to struggle and the Pan-thers, off to their worst start in 12 years, contin-ued to lose.

“We didn’t win the first two games that I played and a change was made,” Moore said. “We haven’t won the past three games and a change was made. That’s the way this busi-ness works.”

It’s uncertain how many options Moore will

have against San Fran-cisco with Smith trying to recover from a high ankle sprain. Carolina’s depth chart after Smith includes three rookies and two recent waiver claims.

“I think we can be more precise with our routes,” said rookie re-ceiver David Gettis. “Just making plays, catching every single pass that comes our way and being that threat so we can also loosen up the run game.”

The next game will perhaps provide Caroli-na’s best chance to win in a while. The 49ers’ sloppy 17-9 victory over Oakland Sunday left only Carolina and Buffalo (0-5) in the NFL’s winless club.

“We’re trying to find something that works,” Moore said. “If this is what it takes, this is what it takes. We’re hoping to find a spark and hope-fully we can do that.”
