Retro Cinema owner calls town theater plan ‘unfair’ By LARRY DALE Daily Courier Staff Writer
FOREST CITY — The owner of the Retro Cinema 4 in the Tri-City Mall told commissioners Monday night that offering town incentives to bring a theater project downtown would mean “I’ve invested my life savings and lost everything.” Mike Packett said it was unfair “for my town to recruit and offer incentives (to a theater developer). If you give incentives, that’s a way to put me out of business.” Packett, speaking during the public com-
Spindale rejects sewer bill changes By SCOTT BAUGHMAN Daily Courier Staff Writer
SPINDALE — Commissioners decided Monday night to make no changes to a sewer billing plan that has drawn sharp criticism from two of the town’s largest industrial customers. Commissioners Tommy Hardin and Toby Tomblin were absent from the meeting. During their August meeting, town council members heard a plea from Ultimate Textiles and Manual Woodworkers and Weavers to change a policy that bills customers for sewer usage based on the amount of water they draw in from Broad River Water Authority. Both industries want the amount of water they physically flow into the sewer to be the basis of the charges and each installed a private sewer flow meter to record the amounts.
ments portion of the regular board meeting, said Commissioner David Eaker had expressed sympathy for his plight, but Packett added, “Your sympathy doesn’t put food on the table for my family.” “I’ve not taken a paycheck out of that business,” he said. “I’ve spent every dime on it.” Packett urged commissioners to think about all the people the decision will affect, including 10 employees at the current theater who would be out of jobs.
But the commissioners were reluctant to make that change — which would result in lower flow numbers and less revenue. “Some points to consider are that we went into this budget year with an engineering study to look at the needs of the system,” Town manager Cameron McHargue said. “The revenue requirement was based on (our current billing plan). That is what it takes to run and maintain the system. If any decrease was implemented during the middle of the budget year then the only way to make that up would be with a budgetary

cian referrals and patient selfreferrals. Dr. Kersey comes to Rutherford County from Greensboro with his wife, Jennifer, and their three sons. He previously practiced for the past five years with Greensboro Cardiology Associates. “My family and I are really excited about moving to this area of the state,” said Dr. Kersey. “We have visited many times on vacation, and we love the warmth of the people and the community.”
The opening of the new cardiology office increases local access to care for heart disease, a major health problem in Rutherford County. As of 2008, Rutherford County had a death rate of 311.5 per 100,000 people as a result of heart disease, according to data from the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics. That is significantly higher than the North Carolina state average for 2008, during which 188.8 deaths Please see Doctor, Page 6A

Our Views Elections always belong to voters
T
he election of 2010 is almost over. Voters will be making their decisions Nov. 2. This has been an especially bitter and divisive election. Nasty elections are not uncommon in this country. They are really common in midterm elections, but this year has been especially intense. The party that claimed control in the last general election is always the target in a midterm vote. In our history, we have been able, in most cases, to put the battling and fighting of the elections behind us and get on with the business of governing. We expect the same to happen after this vote. The current polls show that Republicans are in position to make gains on Capitol Hill and in state houses all around the country. This shift toward a more conservative politics is not surprising. The staggered U.S. economy has fueled a lot of anger, fear and frustration among voters about the state of our country. When that happens, the politicians in power are the most immediate targets. In this case, it’s the Democrats. What is surprising is that the public outrage in this election has targeted even incumbent conservative politicians. Academics, political pundits and political players will spend months and years analyzing, discussing and writing about this election as they do all elections. Voters also will do their own analysis and it will be quite different. The measures voters use will be quite simple. Did the people elected help me get a new job, save my home from foreclosure, provide me the services that I expect from government and make my life better or easier. If they do not get the right answers to those questions, they will go to the polls again in two years and deliver their report.
Our readers’ views Endorses Stickland for County Commissioner To the editor: With the 2010 campaign season and early voting in full swing, I ask that you consider voting Gail McBrayer Strickland for Rutherford County commissioner. As a county commissioner, Gail will use her Christian values, previous employment experience and her ties to the community to make knowledgeable decisions regarding government spending, economic growth, public services and other numerous issues faced by county commissioners. As a child, Gail McBrayer Strickland was taught Christian values and attended the First Baptist Church of Forest City. In 1973 she became a member of Corinth Baptist Church in Ellenboro. Gail established herself in the professional world as the Information Technology Director for Rutherford County. After 30 years of service to our county, she retired in 2008. During her tenure, she was one of only a few women in her professional field. This, however, did not stop Gail from earning numerous accomplishments during her employment. She served as the 1989 President of NC IDEAS local government software users group, became a 2001 graduate from the Institute of Government County Administration Course, and was an active member of North Carolina’s Local Government Information Systems Association. Growing up in Ellenboro, I’ve always known Gail, but was given the opportunity to develop
a personal relationship with her over 10 years ago as a participant in the Rutherford County Junior Miss Program. She has been active in Junior Miss since 1987 and has served as Chairman and Co-chairman of the program for the past 14 years. Under her 1997 chairmanship, Rutherford County Junior Miss received Outstanding Production and Four Star Program Awards and received the Most Scholarship Money Awarded honors in 2006. Besides Junior Miss, Gail also serves as the luminary chairperson for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and has reached a life membership status with Theta Mu Sorority of Beta Sigma Phi. Since 1980 she has participated with Beta Sigma Phi in a monthly outreach program, some of which are the Cornelia De Lang Foundation and Diabetes Awareness. Gail McBrayer Strickland is strongly rooted in her Christian faith, she knows the ins and outs of county government and she has strong ties to the local community. As an employee of Cleveland County government, I know that Gail’s experience as Director of IT has given her assets others can’t bring to the table. She already knows the county budget process and county work flow processes. Things that a new commissioner would have to learn, Gail already knows. I work with Gail as a volunteer with the Junior Miss Program. I have seen firsthand her commitment, hard work and determination for success. When you vote Gail McBrayer Strickland for County Commissioner, you will be selecting the
best candidate to represent your interests. Kimberly P. Mullinax Ellenboro
Says pet laws would create new headaches To the editor: I have to respond to the letter in Oct. 14 edition. Ms. Elgin. While I am in agreement that the slaughter of these pets is morally wrong and useless and entirely the product of irresponsible pet owners, you must also understand the bureaucracy you want to create. First, we still have a constitution, that requires reasonable cause to search someone’s property. Secondly, as a responsible pet owner, it is my decision to make if I want my pet neutered or not. My pets are, but that is my decision, not the county commissioners. The bureaucracy you want to put in place, would start out at your fee of $5 to only escalate to a point that only the people with jobs could even afford to have a pet. My 83-year-old mother, could not afford even the fee on her income, nor could many others whose pets are their companions. Then you need more officers, more cars, more offices, more and more and more costing more and more and more. More court cases, more officers in the court .... and on and on. Bureaucracy is never ending. Show me any government agency that does not grow, add more regulation, and more fees and fines. Sorry, but that is not the answer. Mike Dalton Rutherfordton
Connecting our literary heritage to N.C. places Here is one of the highest compliments I can give a book: It is a lot better at what it does than my book, “Interstate Eateries,” does for North Carolina home cooking restaurants. I love my little book that guides its readers to about 100 local eateries near our state’s interstate highways. But Georgann Eubanks new Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont makes mincemeat of my book. Eubanks guides her readers through hundreds, maybe thousands, of places connected to literary history in the cities, towns, and countrysides of North Carolina’s central counties. You can choose your North Carolina topic, from Civil Rights to Civil War, from leading businesses to millworkers, from plantation owners to sharecroppers, and Eubanks will have found the literary connections. Just to illustrate, here are some of the literary connections to eateries on her tours of the Piedmont.
One on One D.G. Martin
n The Rocky River Springs Fish House near Aquadale in Stanly County, a favorite of poet and short story writer Ruth Moose, who set her first story, “The Swing,” at the nearby Silver Spring Baptist Church. Moose says of the restaurant, “They have the best tea in the world, sweet tea that comes from the natural springs there that gave Aquadale its name.” n Cool Beanz Cafe and Books in Mocksville where, Eubanks writes, “A good selection of coffees and teas and used paperbacks makes this a warm stop on a cold day.” n Escape the Daily Grind in Spencer, noted by Poet Janice Moore Fuller for coffee, pastry and readings by local authors
n The “spectacularly retro” What-a-Burger Drive-In in Mooresville, which may be the Dixie Burger in the novels of Judith Minthorn Stacy. n Copper, an Indian restaurant recommended by Charlotte poet Diana Pinckney, located in the house where Carson McCullers lived as she began work on The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. n Cornerstone Cafe, in Central Falls near Asheboro, noted by poet Barbara Presnell. The building, formerly known as Old Rock Store, is made of quartz stones. n The Biscuitville chain (all over North Carolina, but concentrated in the Greensboro area) where novelist Susan Kelly wrote her first two novels and which Amy Jo Wood praised in her essay, The Buddhas of Biscuitville. n Tate Street Coffee House in Greensboro, owned by writer Ann Fitzmaurice Russ and husband Matt. n Cole’s Pharmacy in
Roxboro, formerly Sergeant & Clayton’s Grocers, a site in Dawn Shamp’s On Account of Conspicuous Women. Eubanks writes that locals gather “for gossip, excellent fresh-squeezed orangeade and pimiento cheese or chicken salad sandwiches at lunchtime.” n Cup-a-Joe in Hillsborough, where you might spot one of that town’s many writers or be treated to a poem by Mike Troy “just written to share with the patrons.” n Johnson’s in Siler City, recommended by novelist Virginia Boyd, who says that “you have to get there early” because they close “once they run out of fresh hamburger.” n College Bar-B-Que Drive-In in Salisbury, a favorite of John Hart, and, according to Eubanks, an “unnamed site” in Hart’s The King of Lies. n Blue Mist Barbecue in Randleman, a hangout for Holly George-Warren, a writer about music and former editor of Rolling Stone Press.
n Lexington Barbecue, recommended by Jack Riggs, author of When the Finch Rises set in a fictional town called Ellenton, but obviously really Lexington. n The Old Hickory House Restaurant in Charlotte, recommended by Judy Goldman, who included a scene there in her novel Early Leaving. To seal the partnership between barbecue and the literary world, Eubanks shares a poem by Chapel Hill poet Margaret Rabb that includes these lines: “. . . Amen, hogs. Dance on, shoulder to shoulder, cheek by jowl, let hocks shudder, Let hickory flames rise around you, consume all flesh until it sputters into burnt communion.” Put Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont in your glove compartment, right alongside “Interstate Eateries.” D.G. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch.

amendment to move money out of the enterprise fund.” Board members Ed Searcy and Nancy Walker were sympathetic to the request, but said their hands were tied by budgetary constraints. “I certainly understand what Ultimate Textile is saying, but I hope they understand where we’re coming from when we say this is the budget we’ve got for this year, and for a lot of residential customers it is a big burden,” Walker said. “When we start our process for the new year we can come back and hopefully all work out something then. It is just not the right time to go back now.”

Mayor Dennis Tarlton told Packett that public comments were generally limited to three minutes, but he added that the matter would come up again later for further discussion. In another controversial matter, board members, by a 3-1 vote, told residents of Greenwood Street that they will take no further action on a drainage problem there until someone besides the town buys property on which to divert rainwater that has caused flooding problems. Board member Chris Lee was not at the meeting. Resident Shirley Mapp had repeatedly urged the board to do something to keep residents from losing their homes to water damage. The problem for the town is where to divert the water, since any diversion would be onto another property owner. “I couldn’t support (the town) purchasing any property to do this,” commented board member Shawn Moore. “I don’t think it is the town’s problem or responsibility,” Eaker added. Mapp responded, “Whose problem is it? What are we supposed to do, walk away from our mortgages?” She also said the board had at an earlier meeting agreed it was the town’s responsibility. Eaker said he did not think the board had ever stated that. Board member Dee Dee Bright, who cast the dissenting vote on the decision to take no further action, said, “It is a town problem, in my opinion.” She recommended continuing to negotiate with the property owners in question about diverting the water. Moore said if homeowners in the affected area wanted to buy the property and divert water there, then the town could become involved in making that happen. Also at the meeting, the board, by another 3-1 vote, adopted changes to the town’s utility policy.

The current late fee of $4 will be replaced with a $6 fee or 1.5 percent of the past due amount, whichever is greater. The current reconnection fee of $30 will be replaced with a $45 administration fee, which covers any reconnects that take place during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. An additional $75 after-hours reconnect charge will be assessed on any service that is reconnected at times other than normal business hours. The board also agreed to change fines for meter tampering and theft of utilities. In the first case where there has been meter tampering, a $45 fine will be assessed and the meter will be physically removed. For a second offense, a $250 fine would be in effect, with the main service line disconnected and the potential for police involvement. Finance Director Scott Webber told the board the $75 additional charge, on top of the normal $45 administration fee, for reconnection after hours was intended to protect the town from undue expenses due to overtime and use of town vehicles. Board members were told that the town pays a weekly fee for a town employee to be on call after normal business hours, but also pays at the overtime rate if the employee has to actually go out and reconnect a service. The recommended changes were approved, with Eaker casting the dissenting vote. He said he preferred a total of $75 for after-hour reconnections, instead of $45 plus an additional $75. Board members said they would revisit the issue in a month and asked Webber to return with information on how the changes are working out. In other matters, the board: n Unanimously approved a change to the town’s sign ordinance that basically would allow projection signs. A public hearing on the revisions drew no comments.
n Approved a request to proclaim Nov. 6 as Animal Adoption & Awareness Day in the town. The request was made by Haley Holland, as part of her senior project at East Rutherford High School, who said animals in shelters “deserve a second chance.” n Heard a request from Buddy Bennett for the town to donate an outdated Forest City Fire Department fire truck to the Bennett ClassicsAntique Auto Museum in town. Town attorney David Lloyd said the town could not donate outright, but would instead have to put the truck out for bids. But when Moore asked if the town could loan the truck for display by the museum, Lloyd said he would look into a loan or a lease and would advise the town at a later meeting. n Adopted two NC Step Grant budget amendments. One amendment was to establish the revenue and expense accounts associated with the awarding of the $100,000 portion of the grant. The other amendment will account for the accrual of $14,297 into the prior year and will allow for the remaining $5,703 in the current year. n Voted 3-1 to switch the town’s Halloween observance from Sunday, Oct. 31, to Saturday, Oct. 30. Bright cast the nay vote, saying she didn’t know the town had the authority to make such a switch. n Approved the mayor’s request to form a committee to come up with a way to honor Smokey Burgess, a former Major League baseball player. n Voted that fall plantings in the town would be in memory of Nell Horn. n Delayed making an appointment to fill a vacancy on the ABC Board. n Received copies of the first-quarter financial statement from Webber. n Went into closed session to consider economic development incentives and to consider settlement of a claim.
nuclear stress testing, pacemaker implants and diagnostic cardiac catheterization. “If we can do procedures here that people have had to drive out of town for, it is better for the patient and for the family that is waiting for news,” he said. “A lot of cardiology patients are older and don’t like to drive for tests.” Dr. Kersey will work closely with the Rutherford Hospital team to provide high-quality care close to home. Rutherford Hospital offers the community access to local cardiac catheterization, nuclear stress testing, echocardiograms and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, among other services. When patients require openheart surgery or other very specialized cardiovascular treatments, Dr. Kersey can seamlessly connect them with Mission’s nationally accredited Chest Pain Center (2009, Society of Chest Pain Centers) and Top
Three-Star Rated Hospital for Heart Surgery (2009, Society of Thoracic Surgeons). Dr. Kersey is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, as well as nuclear cardiology. He received his medical degree from the East Carolina School of Medicine, where he finished at the top of his medical school class and was awarded the faculty award and membership in Alpha Omega Alpha for his excellence in medicine.

Development Commission’s Chuck Nance. “The two main objectives were to do an existing land use map that shows parcel by parcel properties in Spindale and what exactly they’re being used for right now,” Nance explained. “And then we did a future land use map which is important because all of your future zoning decisions will use that map as a base.” Nance did say the board wouldn’t be limited to the map in the plan, but that they should use it as a guide.

Shelby holds off Trojans
UNC’s Pianalto lost for rest of the season
By JACOB CONLEY
CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina has lost tight end Zack Pianalto for the season with a broken right leg. Pianalto, the team’s leading receiver, was injured in last weekend’s win at Virginia. The school says Pianalto will undergo additional evaluation to determine if he needs surgery. Pianalto has 30 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown. In addition, coach Butch Davis said Monday it was unclear whether linebacker Quan Sturdivant and cornerback LeCount Fantroy will play this weekend at No. 25 Miami. Sturdivant has missed three straight games with a left hamstring injury, while Fantroy suffered a shoulder injury against the Cavaliers.

Bobcats’ F McGuire could miss 6 weeks CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats could be without reserve forward Dominic McGuire for up to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his left shin. McGuire first experienced pain following a scrimmage early in training camp. He appeared in three exhibition games and averaged 1.3 points before an MRI revealed the extent of the injury. The Bobcats announced McGuire’s status Saturday night after their preseason game against the Detroit Pistons. They signed McGuire to a one-year, $900,000 free-agent deal in July after he played with Washington last season. McGuire joins guard Shaun Livingston, center Kwame Brown and forward Eduardo Najera in being sidelined with injuries for Charlotte.
Bristol president dies after lengthy illness BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Jeff Byrd, the longtime president and general manager of Bristol Motor Speedway, died Sunday following a lengthy illness, the speedway said. He was 60.

Byrd began his career as a sports writer for the WinstonSalem Journal in North Carolina, then moved to the sports marketing department at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. He was vice president of business development when he left RJR for Bristol.

Burns shuts out Cavaliers, 4-0 By KEVIN CARVER Sports Reporter
FOREST CITY — The duo of Austin Boggs and and Juan Sosa combined for three Burns goals as East Rutherford lost 4-0 at home in soccer, Monday. The Cavaliers were outshot 26-11 and fell behind by two scores at the half. East never could earn a goal in
the SMAC match, despite a promising effort from a winless group this season. “Justin McDaniel played solidly in the field today and was a firecracker in helping us to create some offensive looks,” East Rutherford soccer coach Neil Van Dyke said. “Though we still have a long way to go, there is no doubt in my mind that we are much better from where we started this
season.” East was the early aggressor as a Daniel Garcia put up a shot that was deflected and Juan Escelera’s header, which was saved in the first five minutes created a stir, neither one could go for scores. But the momentum changed and

CHASE — The Chase soccer team played solidly against the defending state champions, but Shelby goals at toward the end of each half derailed the Trojans upset bid 3-1 on senior night. Chase’s defense held strong in the first five minutes of play against Shelby, as the Trojans played with an extra defender back to try and slow down the powerful Golden Lions’ attack. Goalie Tyler Harth had to make diving stops on consecutive Shelby corner kicks to keep the game scoreless in that time. Chase had its best chance to score on the ensuing sequence as Harth launched a goal kick to midfield that was collected at by Clint McIntyre who charged down the middle of the field, but his shot was just wide. Shelby used that miss as an opportunity for a counter acttack that resulted in a penalty kick goal for the visitors. Shelby added a disputed goal just before the half to take a 2-0 lead. The Golden Lions had gathered in a pass on the near side that one official ruled out of bounds but the other signaled play on and they advanced to score a goal. After a lengthy discussion, the goal was allowed to stand. Chase came out of the locker room energized and began to put pressure n the Shelby keeper. That pressure paid off with just over 10 minutes left in the contest when Ryan Price accepted a pass in the box from Rene Escalera and flicked the ball just past the outstretched goalie to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Trojans had an chance to score the equalizer moments later but a Chase header was just high. Shelby scored a late goal to put the game away by the final of 3-1.

This Sept. 19 file photo shows Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore during the first half of an NFL football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The winless Panthers are changing quarterbacks again, benching struggling rookie Jimmy Clausen and turning again to Moore. Coach John Fox announced Monday that Moore will start on Sunday against San Francisco.
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Things are so bad on offense for the Carolina Panthers that struggling 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 hoping a nostalgic film session will help him regain his 2009 form and end Carolina’s nightmare start to the season. The Panthers (0-5) returned 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 offense against San Francisco (1-5) on Sunday. Fox announced the move to reporters in a statement through a team spokesman. “We have struggled on offense 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 sidelined. 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

A SWEET, SUITE DEAL
Oswalt gets Phillies even PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy Oswalt’s daring dash around the bases nearly overshadowed his dominant performance on the mound. Oswalt pitched eight superb innings, Jimmy Rollins drove in four runs and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1 Sunday night to even the NL championship series at one game apiece. “I’m hoping for a momentum switch and get back to San Francisco and take the series there,” Oswalt said. A day after Tim Lincecum outdueled Roy Halladay in a marquee matchup of aces, Oswalt beat Jonathan Sanchez. The series shifts to San Francisco for Game 3 on Tuesday afternoon. Matt Cain faces Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP. Even though he didn’t finish the outing, it sure was a complete game for Oswalt. He allowed one run and three hits, striking out nine. He also singled using one of Rollins’ bats and scored a run after racing through a coach’s stop sign in the seventh. Instead of his pitching, everyone wanted to know what he was thinking on the bases. “First thing in my mind was score,” Oswalt said. “When I got halfway, I saw the stop sign. I said it’s too late now. No turning back.” Rollins kidded Oswalt about it. “It was a nice slide,” he said. “That was something I would do. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have needed to slide.” Cody Ross hit his third solo homer in two games for the Giants, who struck out 10 times. Rollins busted out of a 1-for-15 postseason slump, going 2 for 3 with a bases-loaded walk and a bases-clearing double. “I knew it was just a matter of time,” Rollins said. Halladay followed up his no-hitter against the Reds in the division series with a subpar performance in Game 1. He gave up four runs in seven innings. But Oswalt showed why the Phillies got him from Houston before the trade deadline, shutting down the Giants in a crucial spot. “You can’t get caught up in the moment of trying to get momentum back on your side,” Oswalt said. “You have to pitch your game.” Sanchez gave up three runs — two earned — and five hits in six-plus innings. The tough lefty had dominated the Phillies in his five previous starts against them, not allowing more than four hits in any outing. “It’s 1-1, you know? It’s tied. We’ve got to go out there and start winning,” Sanchez said. Oswalt chased Sanchez with a line-drive single leading off the bottom of the seventh.
Cavs Continued from Page 7A
Burns made sure of that in the 18th minute. The visiting Bulldogs Sosa was issued a free kick after a Cavalier foul and Boggs ran through the box to head it into the net for a 1-0 Burns lead. Burns rang the post again just three minutes later with a little bit of role reversal. This time Sosa claimed the goal out in front following a Boggs assist on the corner kick for the 2-0 Burns advantage. A big switch during the 25th minute, saw Justin McDaniel coming off the field as the keeper and onto the field shortly thereafter as a forward. Backup keeper Matt Hawkins substitiuted and held in own during the final 55 minutes. McDaniel, who had seven saves before changing positions helped dribbled the ball upfield, made a couple of tackles to save would-be Burns’ goals from scoring and even flicked a shot wide in his 15 minutes of the first half. Still, Burns clinged to a two-goal lead at the half. East tried to cut the the lead in half to open up the secord period on a corner kick by Fernando Vasquez, but McDaniel’s header at the mouth of the goal, veered wide right on a near miss. However, Burns countered just two series later as Matt Sparks dribbled right and hit the far post netting for a 3-0 Bulldog lead in the 55th minute. Burns wasn’t quite done yet. Sosa made the most of another free kick into the box, where Boggs scored for the second time off a header for a 4-0 lead that held the rest of the way during the 65th minute. East Rutherford’s Vasquez did have one look off an assist from Adrian Beltran, but the shot went wide right again in the late minutes before the game came to its conclusion. Hawkins had five saves for East Rutherford in the loss.

year-old film. It was Moore’s strong end to last season in place of an injured an ineffective 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 completed 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 receiving corps. Opposing teams have consistently loaded the line of scrimmage with extra defenders 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-reasonable. We’ve been in third-andlong way too much this year.” Clausen, who has looked uncomfortable in Rams 20, Chargers 17 the pocket, wasn’t made available to reporters At St. Louis, James Hall, Chris on Monday.

Happy returns for Big Ben, Branch By The Associated Press
It was a big return for Big Ben, who looked as though he barely missed a beat. Ben Roethlisberger, cheered loudly during his first game in 9½ months, threw three touchdown passes in his return from his four-game suspension and led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 28-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. “One thing about him: When you look into his eyes, you always know you have a chance to win ballgames,” said Hines Ward, whose 8-yard TD catch ended a 96-yard drive that put Pittsburgh up 14-3 late in the third quarter. “And everybody just follows.” Roethlisberger’s first regularseason game since last season clearly excited Steelers fans, who filled Heinz Field beyond its capacity. It was a special game for the quarterback, too, as he realized while traveling to the stadium. “Amazing,” Roethlisberger said of the loud ovation he received during pregame introductions. “I got a little bit of tears in my eyes. To hear a cheer like that was truly something special.” Except for about 20 protesters outside the stadium, there was no sign of the anger and hostility numerous fans expressed after a Georgia college student accused him of sexually assaulting her in a bar in March. The Steelers (4-1), beating Cleveland for the 13th time in 14 games, moved into first place in the AFC North as Baltimore (4-2) lost to New England 23-20 in overtime. Cleveland’s Colt McCoy (23 of 33, 281 yards, five sacks) didn’t look overwhelmed in his first NFL start, but he played with a depleted cast after hits by James Harrison sidelined wide receivers Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi with head injuries during the second quarter. Deion Branch had a happy return to New England, sparking a comeback from a 10-point deficit to a 23-20 overtime win over the Ravens. He capped that with two key catches that set up Stephen Gostkowski’s 35-yard field goal with 1:56 left in overtime. When Randy Moss was traded to Minnesota on Oct. 6, fans worried that the Patriots would struggle without their only deep threat. But Branch gave them plenty of reasons to forget those concerns and the team’s embarrassing 33-14 playoff loss to the Ravens in the first round last season.

Junior Seau crashes car hours after arrest
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say alcohol and drugs are not suspected in a one-vehicle crash in Southern California involving former NFL star linebacker Junior Seau. Seau drove off a cliff and was hospitalized with minor injuries Monday, less than nine hours after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. Carlsbad police dispatcher Matthew Pinell said late Monday that alcohol and drugs are not suspected “at this time.” Police say the 12-time Pro Bowler’s white Cadillac SUV was found on the beach about 100 Dolphins 23, Packers 20 OT feet below the roadside. Seau was taken to Scripps At Green Bay, Wis., Dan La Jolla Hospital in San Diego. Carpenter kicked a 44-yard field He posted bail and was released from the San goal with 9:01 left in overtime Diego County jail in Vista. to lift Miami. It was the second straight overtime loss for the injury-riddled Packers (3-3), who lost at Washington last week. At Tampa, Fla., Drew Brees threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns for New Orleans. The Saints (4-2) amassed 476 yards total offense and weren’t forced to punt until early in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay (3-2) was held scoreless until Josh Freeman led a long fourth-quarter TD drive.
Seahawks 23, Bears 20 At Chicago, Matt Hasselbeck threw for a season-best 242 yards and a touchdown and Seattle’s defense sacked Jay Cutler six times. Cutler was in trouble much of the game, and completed just 17 of 39 for 290 yards.
49ers 17, Raiders 9 Alex Smith threw second-half touchdown passes to Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis and the 49ers finally won their first game, beating Oakland in a sloppy, penalty-filled game.

Fort Hood hearing continues
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — A pregnant soldier shot during a rampage at a Texas Army post last year cried out, “My baby! My baby!” as others crawled under desks, dodged bullets that pierced walls and rushed to help their bleeding comrades, a military court heard Monday. A soldier had just told Spc. Jonathan Sims that she was expecting a baby and was preparing to go home, when the first volley of gunfire rang out Nov. 5 in a Fort Hood building where soldiers get medical tests before and after deploying.
Pvt. Francheska Velez, a 21-yearold from Chicago, had become pregnant while serving in Iraq. She was among the 13 killed in the worst
mass shooting on an American military base. Sims was one of 10 soldiers to testify Monday at an Article 32 hearing that will determine whether Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan will stand trial. Spc. Dayna Roscoe testified she was in an overflow waiting area in the medical building when the gunman shot her in the left arm as she hid in a chair with her arms wrapped around her head. When the gunman left, Roscoe said, she could hear another soldier, Lt. Col. Juanita Warman, “say she’d been shot in the abdomen and was bleeding. She wanted someone to tell her family that she loved them and that she wasn’t going to make it.” H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H

Mary Hammock talks about her visit to the Henning, Tenn., post office where two postal workers were shot to death on Monday. Hammock, of Ripley, Tenn., works at a market near the post office and had gone there to mail a letter.
Two killed in Tenn. post office shooting HENNING, Tenn. (AP) — Two gunmen opened fire Monday at a post office in a rural West Tennessee town that was home to Roots author Alex Haley, killing two workers during an attempted robbery. The shooting happened Monday morning at the one-story, brick building in Henning, the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department said. District Attorney Mike Dunavant said Monday afternoon that authorities were looking for a vehicle but would not elaborate except to say the case involved “disturbing violence.” No arrests were made, and postal officials pleaded with the public to come forward with information about the crime. The victims were identified by authorities as Judy Spray, 58, a rural carrier associate, and Paula Robinson, 33, a retail clerk. The post office, which sits between a self-service car wash and a coinoperated laundry called “Mom’s” in this town of about 1,200 people, often has residents coming in to pick up their mail. Home delivery isn’t provided in Henning, some 45 miles northeast of Memphis. Beth Barnett, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service, said that five people usually work in the post office but that she was not sure how many were there at the time of the attack. Post offices are not immune to crime, but robberies at post offices are uncommon, she said. Mary Hammock, who works at a nearby market, said Monday afternoon that she had been in the post office about 8:25 a.m. and noticed it was not as loud or busy as normal. “I knew something didn’t feel right because it was real quiet,” she said. She returned to the market and heard police sirens about 15 minutes later. “I might have been real close probably to losing my life,” she said.

Postal officials offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. A forensic team remained in the post office late Monday afternoon. The bodies were to be taken to Memphis for autopsies.

Around midday, plainclothes investigators were scanning the area along a railroad track that sits behind the post office. Lines of yellow police tape kept people away from the building as a crowd gathered nearby, some sitting in chairs, waiting for more information about what happened. Crime scene investigation trucks were parked outside, including one from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Ella Holloway, who lives within walking distance of the post office, said she knew one of the women killed, later identified as Robinson. Holloway said she would be greeted by the woman’s smile when she went to the post office to buy stamps. Another local woman said she knew Spray, describing her as “nice as can be.” “When we were outside, she would wave and smile at us,” Wendy Willis said. Tony Burns, a state employee at the Tennessee Capitol in Nashville, said his sister-in-law is a postal service worker who was assigned to the Henning office Monday. She told him that the shooting happened during a robbery attempt, but that she escaped unharmed. The sheriff’s department also described the incident as a robbery. Standing on a street corner near the post office, city resident Emmitt Hennings, a 71-year-old retiree, said it was hard to comprehend what happened. “I just couldn’t believe it, not in this town,” Hennings said. “It’s too quiet.”

NEWTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia philanthropist who believes charity is a powerful incentive thinks he can help get Americans back to work one donation at a time. Gene Epstein, 71, is promoting a $250,000 effort called Hire Just One, with plans to make $1,000 donations to charity in the name of businesses that hire an unemployed person and keep the worker on the payroll for at least six months. Epstein, who amassed a personal fortune through car sales and real estate investments, has set aside his money for the first 250 hires — and thinks thousands more jobs could be created if others took on his idea, too. “It’s an encouragement to businesses to not wait,” said Epstein, who thinks the incentive may be just enough to get small businesses over the hump to make a hire in tough economic times. “This becomes like an incredible stimulus program.” The idea came to Epstein at his sprawling home in suburban Bucks County last month. He said he hopes his program will encourage businesses in the region and beyond to make hundreds of thousands of new hires they wouldn’t have otherwise made.
Halliburton shares fell $1.73, or 4.8 percent, to $34.09, while IBM rose $1.77 cents to $142.83. Bond prices rose slightly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 2.51 percent from 2.57 percent late Friday. Its yield is often used as a benchmark to set interest rates on mortgages and other loans. Trading volume on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange came to 4.5 billion shares, where two stocks rose for every one that fell.

Upbeat news pushes stocks up
NEW YORK (AP) — Upbeat news for banks and homebuilders pushed the stock market broadly higher Monday, extending its gains for the month. Better-than-expected results from Citigroup Inc. drove financial stocks up by more than 2 percent, halting a recent slide brought on by questions into how banks have handled foreclosures. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 81 points. Citigroup said fewer of its customers defaulted on loans, an encouraging sign that consumer’s balance sheets may be improving. Citi’s shares rose 5.6 percent, lifting shares of other banks along with it including Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Bank shares fell last week as fallout spread from accusations that banks had improperly processed large amounts of foreclosures. The National Association of Home Builders reported that its housing market index, which measures builder confidence in the sales of new, single-family homes, rose by three points in October. It was the first time that the measure had risen since June, which came shortly after the end of a federal tax rebate for first-time homebuyers. This is a busy week for investors, with 113 stocks in the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index reporting earnings. After the bell, Apple Inc. reported a 70 percent gain in net income, but its revenues came in short of anlaysts’ expectations. IBM Corp.’s income rose 12 percent, but the value of its services contracts declined. Shares of both tech companies fell in afterhours trading. ople_1.833inx3in The stock market is up more

What is Oktoberfest?
Here is information on Oktoberfest provided by Gaestehaus Salzburg: Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on Oct. 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields were renamed Theresienwiese (“Theres’a Fields”) to honor the Crown Princess, although the locals have since abbreviated the name to simply “Wiesn.” Horse races in the presence of the royal family marked the close of the event that was celebrated as a festival for the whole of Bavaria. The decision to repeat the horse races in subsequent years gave rise to the tradition of Oktoberfest. In 1811, an added feature to the horse race was the first agricultural show, designed to boost Bavarian agriculture. The horse races which were the oldest – and at one time, the most popular event of the festival – are no longer held today. But the agricultural show is still held every three years during the Oktoberfest on the southern part of the festival grounds. The 200th Oktoberfest in 2010 was held Sept. 18 to Oct. 3 in Munich. It is the largest festival in the world.
Patricia Maringer of Gaestehaus Salzburg serves a pork dish during a recent Thursday night family-style meal at the German restaurant. During October the bed-and-breakfast, restaurant and spa is hosting Oktoberfest festivities on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.
German foods are more common than you think – they just have different names Art by Garrett Byers Text by Allison Flynn In October 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig of Germany married Princess Therese. Two hundred years later Germans – and others – continue to celebrate each year in September and October. Oktoberfest is traditionally held from late September to early October. This year the celebration began Sept. 18, and is continuing in Rutherford County until Oct. 31 at Gaestehaus Salzburg. The European bed-and-breakfast, spa and restaurant, is owned by Patricia and Werner Maringer. Werner, a native of Salzburg, is a master chef in pastry and cooking. The couple came to Rutherford County in 1993, and have been in business since 1995. The location, according to the Gaestehaus Salzburg Website, reminds both Maringers of their birth places – Werner of Austria and Patricia of West Virginia. The couple first encountered the Lake Lure area after travelling to Saluda to see a bed and breakfast for sale there. “We took the back roads in Hendersonville and came through Lake Lure and fell in love,” Patricia said. “We came back in 1992 to travel the Blue Ridge Parkway and came through Lake Lure again and said ‘That’s it. That’s where we are going to live.’” Oktoberfest is celebrated in Western North Carolina in part of all the German heritage in the area, Patricia said. Celebrations at
Schweinebraten (roasted pork) served with spaetzle (German egg noodles) and sauerkraut is a basic, traditional German meal, said Patricia Maringer.
Gaestehaus Salzburg feature not only live music and sing-alongs of German music and German bier (beer), but also traditional German foods – like knackwurst, bratwurst and wiener schnitzel. While most German foods have strange sounding names, Maringer said they’re really common foods that most people have eaten before. “Most German recipes are similar to American food – just called different names,” she said. “Americans for the most part are not adventurous, and don’t like eating something with strange names.”
Wiener schnitzel, she said, is simply breaded pork loin, and is very similar to chicken fried steak. Wiener schnitzel is a favorite on the menu at the restaurant, Maringer added. “A very quick, typical German meal is wiener schnitzel,” she said. “In Austria it would be served with frites (French fries) and whole cranberry sauce with a salad.” Salad in Austria, she pointed out, isn’t greens and carrots like in America – instead, it includes German potato salad, green bean Please see Salzburg, Page 8B
Schnitzel: Not with noodle, but German potato salad instead
It’s October. The month of great celebrations in Germany, and a good time of the year to master a little German influenced food. Schnitzel is made with veal in Austria, but Germans do theirs with pork, so pork it is. Schnitzel is a very simple dish, and cooks up in a matter of minutes, so it’s a great weekday meal. All it requires is a little breading, some sizzling butter or oil, and a couple of minutes on the stove. Ingredients for four servings: 4 5-ounce boneless pork long chops 4 tablespoons flour 1½ cups panko bread
Curious in the Kitchen Gail Prather
crumbs 2 eggs 1 tablespoon milk Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons vegetable oil Panko is clearly not a German ingredient, but it really is easy to use, available in most supermarkets in the international food aisle, and fries up into a wonderfully crispy crust. However,
any fine, plain breadcrumbs will do. The dish requires a little muscle power because the chops should be pounded out to about a quarter of an inch thickness. I do this on a plastic cutting board, laying the chops out on the board, covering them with plastic wrap, and whacking them with a meat pounder. If you don’t have a meat pounder, whack them with a sturdy rolling pin or the bottom of a frying pan. Think of it as a way to work out the days frustrations. The reason for pounding the meat thin is to reduce the cooking time, and keep the meat moist and tender. After that, it’s an assembly
job. On the counter, line up three plates. In the first one goes the flour, the next one holds the beaten eggs combined with the milk. In the last one, the breadcrumbs. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the flour, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs to adhere them firmly to the cutlets. Set the coated cutlets on a wire rack to give the crust a minute to set up a little. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and foamed, begin adding the cutlets. You want them to sizzle immediately. If you are not sure if
the pan is hot enough, simply drop in a pinch of the breadcrumbs. If they sizzle and foam right away, you are good to go. Don’t crowd the pan, or you will end up with steamed meat instead nice crispy little cutlets. If necessary, cook them in two batches. The cutlets will cook very quickly. They only take about two minutes per side. You’ll want them to be golden brown, but not overcooked, which will dry out the meat. These little cutlets are nice served with applesauce, sautéed apples and onions, cooked cabbage or even some Please see Courious, Page 8B

New mother’s friend is poaching 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 financially. 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 appreciate 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 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 daugh-

ter is painful and when she “suggests” how to hold or burp the baby, it makes you feel it’s a reflection on your maternal ability. 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 condition 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 Dear Zayne’s 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.”
Osteoarthritis not linked to employment Dear Dr. Gott: I have osteoarthritis in my neck and spine. Could you tell me how a 54-year-old lady like me got such a thing? My job is repetitive work in manufacturing, but my employer says it’s not from the work. I feel it is, but I don’t feel that 54 is old. Dear Reader: Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that results from a breakdown of joint cartilage. Healthy cartilage allows our joints to move easily and without pain. When osteoarthritis is present, a degeneration of the cartilage that cushions bone ends occurs. Over time, some areas of cartilage may wear away completely, resulting in damage to the bone and extreme pain on movement. The ends of the bone may form spurs, and the ligaments may thicken. This common disorder affects about one in three people and, while most common in older adults, it can affect people of any age. All of our joints are susceptible to

Ask Dr. Gott Dr. Peter M. Gott
osteoarthritis, but those most commonly affected are ones that bear weight — knees, hips, spine, feet, neck, lower back and hands. I cannot determine from your brief note why you have the condition. It may be related to a sports injury when you were younger, or you may have a family history of OA. There is also a consideration of a chemical change that has occurred in your cartilage, causing it to break down faster than it can be produced. You also may be carrying more weight than is healthy for your frame, or you may be relatively inactive. As you can see, there are a number of causes for a woman at the early age of 54 to develop this condition.

Super Typhoon Megi slams the Philippines
CAUAYAN, Philippines (AP) — The strongest cyclone in years to crash into the Philippines killed at least three people Monday, leaving a wasteland of fallen trees and power poles and sending thousands scampering to safety in near-zero visibility. A retired general said bracing for the onslaught was like preparing for war. Super Typhoon Megi, blowing across the northern Philippines, was forecast next to head toward China and Vietnam, where recent floods unrelated to the storm have caused 30 deaths. On Monday, strong currents on Vietnam’s flooded main highway swept away a bus and 20 of its passengers, including a boy pulled from his mother’s grasp. In China, authorities evacuated 140,000 people from a coastal province ahead of the typhoon. Megi packed sustained winds of 140 miles (225 kilometers) per hour and gusts of 162 mph (260 kph) as it made landfall midday Monday at Palanan Bay in Isabela province, felling trees and utility poles and cutting off power, phone and Internet services. Its ferocious wind slightly weakened
Sharp quake rattles southern NZ city WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — An earthquake rattled the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch on Tuesday, cutting power and phone service and sending some residents running into the streets just weeks after a more powerful quake caused extensive damage. New Zealand’s geological agency GNS Science said Tuesday’s magnitude 5.0 quake was centered six miles (10 kilometers) southwest of the city and just five miles (nine kilometers) below the surface. Buildings shook and objects tumbled from shelves when the quake hit about 11:30 a.m. (22:30 GMT Monday), emergency services said. while crossing the mountains of the Philippines’ main northern island of Luzon. With more than 4,150 Filipinos riding out the typhoon in sturdy school buildings, town halls, churches and relatives’ homes, roads in and out of coastal Isabela province, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northeast of Manila, were deserted and blocked by collapsed trees, power lines and debris. One man who had just rescued his water buffalo slipped and fell into a river and drowned in Cagayan province, near Isabela. A woman was pinned to death when a tamarind tree crushed her house and injured her child in Kalinga
province, and a security guard died after being struck by a pine tree in nearby Baguio city, officials said. At least six were injured in the region by falling trees, collapsed roofs and shattered glass, officials said. As it crashed ashore, the typhoon whipped up huge waves. There was near-zero visibility and radio reports said the wind was so powerful that people could not take more than a step at a time. Ships and fishing vessels were told to stay in ports, and several domestic and international flights were canceled. The entire Isabela province lost power along with 16 of Cagayan’s 28 towns as the typhoon blew by. Cagayan Governor Alvaro Antonio

said the wind was fierce but blew high from the ground, sparing many ricefields ready for harvesting. Although initial casualties were low compared to past storm disasters, retired army Maj. Gen. Benito Ramos, who heads the country’s disaster-preparedness agency, expressed sadness over the deaths. Bracing for the typhoon, he said, was like “preparing for war.” “This was tougher because in war, I could take a nap,” Ramos told The AP. Thousands of military reserve officers and volunteers were on standby, along with helicopters, including six Chinooks that were committed by U.S. troops holding war exercises with Filipino soldiers near Manila, Ramos said. In July, an angry President Benigno Aquino III fired the head of the weather bureau for failing to predict that a typhoon would hit Manila. That storm killed more than 100 people in Manila and outlying provinces. This time, urgent preparations included evacuations and the positioning of emergency relief and food supplies days before the typhoon hit. The capital was expected to avoid any direct hit, though schools were

closed. Megi was the most powerful typhoon to hit the Philippines in four years, government forecasters say. A 2006 howler with 155mph (250-kph) winds set off mudslides that buried entire villages, killing about 1,000 people. In Vietnam, officials say up to 31.5 inches (800 millimeters) of rain have pounded areas in just a few days, forcing 126,000 people to flee their homes. Earlier flooding this month left more than 80 people dead or missing. Megi could add to the misery. “People are exhausted,” Vietnamese disaster official Nguyen Ngoc Giai said from Quang Binh province. “Many people have not even returned to their flooded homes from previous flooding, while many others who returned home several days ago were forced to be evacuated again.” China’s National Meteorological Center said Megi was expected to enter the South China Sea on Tuesday, threatening southeastern coastal provinces. The center issued its second-highest alert for potential “wild winds and huge waves,” warning vessels to take shelter.

Deyton and Miranda L. Deyton. DATE, TIME AND PLACE OF SALE: The sale will be held on October 26, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at the door of the Rutherford County Courthouse, Rutherfordton, North Carolina. PROPERTY TO BE SOLD: The following real property to be sold “sight unseen” is located in Rutherford County, North Carolina and is believed to have the address of 838 Dixon Road, Ellenboro, NC 28040 and is otherwise more particularly described as follows: Because the legal description is too voluminous to publish in the newspaper, reference is made to the subject legal description recorded as part of the subject Deed of Trust as described in the case caption of this proceeding. Included is a 2005 Oakwood manufactured home bearing serial no. ROC718558NCAB. TERMS OF SALE: Pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. §45-21.10(b) and the terms of the Deed of Trust, any successful bidder may be required to deposit with the Trustee or Clerk of Superior Court immediately upon the conclusion of the sale a cash deposit to be determined by the greater of 5% of the bid or $750.00. Unless the Substitute Trustee agrees otherwise, the successful bidder will be required to tender the “full purchase price” so bid in cash or certified check at the time the Trustee tenders to him a Deed to the property or attempts to tender such Deed, and should the successful bidder fail to pay the full amount, then the successful bidder shall remain liable as provided for in N.C.G.S. §45-21.30. By submitting your bid, you agree that the “full purchase price” shall be defined as the amount of bid plus the Trustee’s commission as defined in the subject Deed of Trust plus the costs of the action, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise. For example, if the amount of bid is $20,000.00 and the trustee’s commission is defined in the subject Deed of Trust as 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale, then the “full purchase price” shall equal $21,000.00 plus the costs of the action. A tender of Deed shall be defined as a letter from the Trustee to the successful bidder offering to record the Deed upon receipt of full purchase price as described herein and listed in said letter. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason such as a bankruptcy filing, the sole remedy of the successful bidder is the return of the deposit. As to any manufactured home, the following shall apply: Any not considered real property is being foreclosed pursuant to N.C.G.S. §25-9-604, if necessary; there is no warranty that any is actually located on the subject tract; and there is no warranty given by the Substitute Trustee as to whether said home is real property or personal property. The sale will be made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, assessments, restrictions and easements of record, if any. ADDITIONAL NOTICE: Take notice that an order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold.

good Southern greens. To add complexity to a very simple dish, I wanted a good German potato salad, with its warmth and its vinegar tang. I used baby Dutch yellow potatoes, because I like their flavor and firmness, and their quick cooking time. Any boiling potato will work, but baking potatoes are too crumbly for this salad. The vegetables used in the potato salad vary among recipes, so I suggest using whatever you prefer, though a bit of onion is always in order. I had a pretty, little red bell pepper from the garden, a serrano pepper and a bunch of green onions. You may want to try celery, or even fennel, red onion or green bell peppers. Whatever vegetables you use, cut them up into a small dice. For a pound of potatoes, the dressing includes: 3 tablespoons bacon fat 1/3 cup vinegar (white wine or
LOCAL cider) 1 tablespoon grainy mustard ½ cup water or chicken broth Salt and pepper to taste While the potatoes cook, whole, either in boiling water or the microwave if you prefer, fry three to four strips of bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon, reserving the fat in the pan. Add your minced vegetables to the fat along with a teaspoon of salt and as much black pepper as you wish, and fry just until tender/crisp to retain their color and some crunch. Stir in the vinegar and broth, and simmer until the dressing reduces a bit, about eight minutes. Slice the potatoes into rounds as soon as you are able to handle them. Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes, and stir gently to combine. Adding some fresh herbs is a nice finishing touch, but optional. I had chives and parsley on hand, so I chopped a few of those and tossed them in the salad. The salad is at its best when still warm. Its silky vinegar tang is a wonderful counterpoint to the crisp pork cutlet.

salad and red beet salad topped with lettuce. In addition to Oktoberfest, the German restaurant at Gaesthaus Salzburg is open Friday through Sunday, and on Thursday nights, which features traditional German food served family style. Recipes at the restaurant, Patricia said, are recipes Werner learned as an apprentice and date back to the ‘40s and ‘50s. “At age 13-1/2 he finished school, and if you are not going to college then you do an apprenticeship,” she said. “When you do an apprenticeship in Europe, you don’t just learn to cook – you learn the makeup and chemical components of it. And you’re expected to stay in that job for the rest of your life.” After completing the pastry apprenticeship, Werner decided it wasn’t what he wanted to do, and served another apprenticeship in cooking. Werner’s foods are traditional of Bavaria, Patricia said, meaning basic, simple foods with light sauces. “In Germany it’s just like America – what you eat up North is different from what you eat in the South,” she said. “If you go on to Northern Germany you get heavier sauces, which they call gravies.”
