RUTHERFORDTON — An R-S Central student has admitted starting a fire in the boy’s locker room at about 1:15 p.m. Monday that resulted in damage to five lockers and the evacuation of the school for 90 minutes. Dr. Janet Mason, Rutherford County Schools superintendent, said the fire damaged five lockers and there was smoke in
the area. “There were no injuries,” Mason said. “There was quick response time by the sheriff’s department, fire marshal, the fire department and the R-S maintenance department,” Mason said. The maintenance department had extinguished the fire and Rutherfordton firefighters used large fans to remove the smoke when they arrived. “This is a very serious mat-
ter,” she said. “And pending the outcome, there could be charges filed in the matter.” Principal Phil Rogers reported “students’ behavior was excellent,” Mason said. The fire was contained to five lockers. The sheriff’s department and school officials are continuing the investigation. Contact Gordon via e-mail at jgordon@thedigitalcourier.com.

Candidate meets with voters By SCOTT BAUGHMAN Daily Courier Staff Writer
SPINDALE — U.S. House of Representatives District 11 Republican candidate Jeff Miller discussed tax cuts, out of control federal spending and Social Security during a town hall meeting Monday night. Challenging incumbent Democrat Heath Shuler, Miller was asked how he planned to counter Shuler’s claims of being a conservative. “Well, I think you can look at Mr. Shuler’s votes on the card check law (abolishing secret
ballots for union elections) and the cap and trade energy tax bill to see he is no conservative,” Miller said. “And you can put all that talk to rest when you show how many times he has voted the party line with Nancy Pelosi and other liberals.” Miller spent most of the hour not attacking Shuler but pointing to his business experience and desire to make a “more business friendly environment” in America and in North Please see Candidate, Page 6A
RUTHERFORDTON — On a split vote Monday night, County Commissioners approved $3,256,188 in new construction projects, voted to reimburse the county’s building fund $1.7 million for land purchases on Daniel Road and approved approximately $75,000 in debt issuances, legal fees and costs relating to borrowing about $5 million. Commissioners Brent Washburn, Eddie Holland Paul McIntosh voted for the projects. Commissioners Susan Crowe and Margaret Helton voted no. Both said they were in favor of some of the projects, but wanted to wait until after the Nov. 2 election and allow the new board of commissioners to make the decisions. All the new projects are pending approval by the Local Government Commission, meeting in Chapel Hill, Nov. 2. About 20 people attended the special meeting. Also Monday night on a 4-1 vote, commissioners passed a resolution providing final approval of financing terms and documents to be considered by the Local Government Commission. Helton opposed. The financing terms will save Rutherford County Schools about $1.4 million in school debt for new schools built in 2002 and 2003. Commissioners met in special session to make a decision on the Daniel Road construction projects, renovations to parks and also whether to enter into the financial terms. New construction projects and bids were approved for improvements for the Daniel Road site improvements, the new EMS facility in Henrietta and improvements to Frank West Park, Ray Henson Park and developing the Bechtler Mint site. Bids were awarded on all the projects. No building projects at Daniel Road were approved. Crowe expressed her concern that some of the construction projects should Please see County, Page 6A
Sheriff gets grant for inmate drug rehab By LARRY DALE Daily Courier Staff Writer
RUTHERFORDTON — Drug use plays a large role in crime, and now the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office has a $300,000 grant to help fight the problem of addiction among inmates. The two-year grant is from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs for the Family-Based Prisoners Substance Abuse Treatment Program. The grant is $150,000 per year. The grant requires no matching funds, and county commissioners approved accepting the money at their Oct. 4 meeting. The RCSO and its partners in the project will create and implement a six-

Our Views Business efforts need attention
T
here is a renewed focus and emphasis these days on supporting small business, which is good news since small business generates the most jobs in this country. The attention being paid to these enterprises is welcome, yet we have to temper our enthusiasm slightly. We have often seen a wave of support such as this one grow, especially during difficult economic times, only to see it fizzle without having much long-lasting impact. Small-business operators, including the self-employed, face many challenges even in the best of economic times. They do not have the resources of their larger competitors to access capital, to attract talent, to get training, or to afford the latest technology and equipment. They are disadvantaged when it comes to competitive bid contracts. Some of these issues have been addressed at various levels, but concerted and effective ongoing efforts are still difficult to find. Some of the blame for this can be put at the feet of those who develop and guide these efforts or in the failure to adequately fund them. Sadly, a large portion of it can be put at the feet of the small-business owners and entrepreneurs who make no effort to access and use the programs that are available. Now that there is a window of opportunity with the renewed focus on small business, some attention needs to be paid to strengthening the ties between the small-business operators and those who are out there to help them. If small-business owners and those seeking to help them succeed can strengthen these bonds and keep communications going, everyone benefits. Business people can get help to deal with problems, the programs that help them will prove their value and our economy will be stronger all around.
Our readers’ views Praises efforts of the county’s 4-H leader To the editor: The first week in October is National 4-H week. Rutherford County has an excellent 4-H program and one that I am proud to be a part of. I am 11-years-old and a member of the Betsy Ross 4-H Club. I have participated in presentations on the county, district and state level and I have completed project books in many different categories. 4-H has helped to teach me public speaking, organizational skills and much more. We have a great 4-H program in Rutherford County led by Cynthia Robbins as our 4-H Agent. She is over all the community clubs, and other clubs such as electric, art, livestock and horses. 4-H is open to all youth from age five to nineteen. If you are interested in any of the Programs, you may call Cynthia Robbins at 287-6010. Brooklyn Breedlove Forest City
Says Lions welcome all new volunteers To the editor: Helen Keller asked the Lions to help her bring light to others. We answered that call as no other organization could, and our light of service is more relevant today than ever before. Yes technology has added
convenience to our lives, and we are all thankful for medical advances that have improved quality of life, and in many cases have made it possible to eradicate diseases that have plagued humankind. But in spite of advances, far too numerous to mention, that have made our lives better, nothing has replaced the need for human interaction. There is no substitute for an outstretched hand offered in service. Built on a solid foundation of volunteer service, Lions Clubs International has been providing hope to those in need since 1917. Throughout our history, Lions have been shinning a light, highlighting health and happiness for millions of people living in darkness and despair. There is a light that emanates from each and every Lion member. You can see it in their eyes, you can see it in their smile, and you can see it in their actions. Helen Keller once said, “a ray of light from another soul touched the darkness of my mind and I found myself ... and broke through the dark, silent imprisonment which held me.” As we navigate our way there may be unforeseen obstacles along the way, rugged shorelines, storms and rough seas. But there are over 1.3 million Lions in 205 countries, who will continue to be knights of the blind. Our motto” We Serve” defines our mission, and is the core principle of our organization. As people increasingly seek
ways to volunteer, remember that the Lions are volunteers who give of their time to help people living in darkness and despair. People volunteer for many reasons, but mostly because they want to make a difference. They are questioning what is important in their lives and reassessing how they spend their time. They are turning to community service and other volunteer opportunities. If you would like to be a part of on~he largest-civic organizations ask a Lion what you can do to become a member and volunteer or maybe form a new Lions club in your area. We have four clubs in our county. Thanks to every one who bought tickets at the Ellenboro fair from the Forest City Lions to help us support Camp Dogwood, a recreational facility for the blind.

The Phoenix model and public universities Today, American universities are the envy of the rest of the world. So, until a few years ago, were American auto manufacturers. Could our universities fall from the top of the ladder the way General Motors did — arrogant, loaded down with costs, and with products unrelated to changing market trends? I was worrying about this possibility the other day what a nationally syndicated “stock picking” column in the Durham Herald Sun caught my eye. A reader wrote to columnist Malcolm Berko, “I recently hired a University of Phoenix graduate over a University of Florida graduate because I felt the Phoenix student would give me more bang for my buck in our accounting department. I’m interested in owning shares of this for-profit school because I think they do a superb job preparing people for the business world.” Berko responded, “…[T]
One on One D.G. Martin
he University of Phoenix, may not have the panache of a University of Florida, but gives more students a superb education for enormously cheaper, certainly more effectively and in a lot less time than the University of Florida.” Berko asserted that the University of Florida had 50,000 students with a budget of $4.89 billion while Phoenix, with about the same size budget, has 478,000 students. One reason for the higher cost at Florida: “900 buildings on a 2,000-plus-acre campus and a staff of 16,000, has a ratio of three students for each staff member,” while Phoenix has virtually no campus and a ratio of nine students per staff member.
As our public universities seek continued and increased funding for each student from state legislators, more and more often they are going to hear more and more questions about cost, effectiveness, relevance and … “frivolous fluff.” Berko continued, And while the University of Florida continues to raise its rates and beg the legislators for more money because its budget runs more red ink than Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book; APOL [Phoenix’s owner] expects to make an $830 million profit …. They know how to deliver a good education without coddling students, without frivolous fluff, without the useless feel-good curriculum, without the lavish student unions, dormitories, sports complexes, private health care, a police force or elaborate administration
buildings that look like Taj Mahals.” Putting aside some of the important controversies about alleged deceptive recruiting practices at Phoenix, will the focused, low-cost education on the Phoenix model bring down the higher cost model of today’s American higher education? My university friends are not ready to surrender. As one of them said, “What about Nobel Prizes? How many have members of the Phoenix faculty won?” Another asserted that comparing Phoenix to Florida or any other big research campus was like comparing apples and oranges. “Only if you think the only contribution of the University of Florida is the education of students do the comparisons made in this column make sense. Florida is a Tier 1 university with major professional schools and research units. What cancer research is Phoenix supporting? And what service to the state is it provid-
ing?” My friends will not get any argument from me about the relative contributions of American public universities and Phoenix. It is no contest. Nor will the Phoenix model ever be as good in providing undergraduates with rich and challenging educational, cultural, and social experiences as our best public universities. But Phoenix still presents a challenge when it comes to the “apples to apples” comparisons on cost for undergraduates and the relevance of a student’s course work to the lightning-fast workplace changes today’s students face when they finish their course work. As our public universities seek continued and increased funding for each student from state legislators, more and more often they are going to hear more and more questions about cost, effectiveness, relevance and … “frivolous fluff.” Martin hosts UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch.

Man charged after stabbing Obituaries By JEAN GORDON Daily Courier Staff Writer
FOREST CITY — A Hendersonville man remains in Pardee Hospital, Hendersonville, after he was stabbed Sunday afternoon at Heavenly Hogs Bar and Grill in Lake Lure. Heavenly Hogs is located in the downstairs of the Old Riverside Pavilion Restaurant and Dance Hall. Jesse Dillon Gray of Union Hill Road, Hendersonville was transferred to Pardee Hospital in Hendersonville after he sustained knife wounds to his thigh and leg during an altercation at 2 p.m. He underwent surgery Sunday afternoon. Lake Lure Police Chief Eric Hester charged Charles Andrew McClellan, 41, of Barn-ard Avenue, Asheville, with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injuries.
He was released from jail on $15,000 bond. Hester said when McClellan and his niece arrived on a motorcycle, McClellan there was a group of people who didn’t like the patches McClellan had on his jacket. They tried to force McClellan to leave the scene but he wouldn’t go and an altercation occurred between McClellan and Gray. McClellan allegedly pulled a knife and a group gathered at the bar tried to separate the two men. Heavenly Hogs owner James Abel tried to break up the fight when a witness saw McClellan with a knife in his

Deaths Joan Sutherland GENEVA (AP) — Joan Sutherland, a former small town secretarial school student whose mastery of tone, astonishing range and vocal control vaulted her into the top echelons of opera, has died at 83 after a fourdecade career that won her praise as the successor to legend Maria Callas. She was nicknamed “La Stupenda” — the Stupendous One — by her fans after a fantastic 1960 performance of Handel’s Alcina and lauded by Luciano Pavarotti as “the voice of the century.” Sutherland’s skills made her pre-eminent in the revival of Italian “bel canto” operas. She also starred in many roles other sopranos are unable to sing, such as those in the early 19thcentury operas of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti which she played a major part in reviving.

have gone to small businesses in the county to help with jobs. “I am not against these projects, but we’ve got some people out of work in the county that could have used this and we could have come out cheaper,” Crowe said. Other commissioners reminded Crowe the advertisement for bids was published in The Daily Courier and everyone had an opportunity to bid on the projects. Bids approved were: Improvements to Daniel Road property, CSC Construction, Morganton, $1,077,651; EMS, Henrietta, $1,420,583, CSC Construction Morganton; Frank West Park, Caroleen, $92,519, Maple Leaf Design; Ray Henson Park, Cliffside, $311,039 plus $9,000 picnic shelter, A&G Construction, Spindale; and Bechtler Site, $127,224 plus $39,000 for site furnishings, A&G Construction.

Carolina. “People in this district need jobs,” Miller said. “And I want to see us reduce taxes and reduce regulations so companies want to come here and the companies which are here will want to hire more people.” Miller brought up his humble beginnings with taking over his family’s dry-cleaning business in Asheville only after proving to his father he could handle such a responsibility. “When the tough times of this recession came, we had been preparing for them,” Miller said. “We put aside about four weeks worth of payroll so that we could make sure we can pay our employees. We have learned to do

released, the family can try to keep that grandson or granddaughter or that son or daughter who is hooked on some type of medication to keep them off of it. This is going to be a twofold or threefold situation, where we are getting trained and the families that are involved with people in custody are being trained.” The program is expected to serve 120 to 150 inmates over a two-year period. Implementation of the program will require the hiring of a part-time detention officer to provide security for inmate activities. The total cost for the part-time worker, including fringe benefits, is slightly more than $10,000. Parkway Behavioral Health will be the contract agency providing the substance abuse treatment, at a cost per client of $37 per hour. The effort will include group sessions using the Hazelden “A New Direction” Program. “This grant speaks volumes about the Behavioral Health Coalition’s commitment to partnering with local agencies to meet the needs of our community,” said Suzanne Porter, Community Engagement Team coordinator. The Community Engagement Team is a United Way effort. “Speaking on behalf of United Way, we were honored to work with the Sheriff’s Office, Parkway Behavioral Health and the other collaborating
would help with some of the park projects and McIntosh also said he had talked with some people would will help provide materials to help with the renovations at Frank West Park. Last year, Commissioner Holland and his wife donated property in Henrietta for the EMS site in order to provide a more uniform emergency response time in the county. It will also serve as the local off-site back-up where all county computer data will be backed up and stored. The Daniel Road site improvement will be a new connector road from U.S. 74 to Daniel Road. Commissioner Holland said once the road is built for Daniel Road, “these will be valuable lots and the county can sell the lots, get the money and this will bring jobs and businesses to the county.” “I agree,” Chairman Washburn said. He said that was the plan all along. The road would align with the existing intersection at White Oaks Plaza and create a primary entrance to the complex. The commercial lots could bring a value of between $1 million and $2 million and the road would create prime visibility for a future farmer’s market at the complex.
As the meeting was convened Commissioner Crowe made a motion to delay action on any of the projects until the new board takes its oath of office in December. Commissioner Helton seconded the motion, but it failed as the other three commissioners voted to proceed. Helton said she didn’t understand the rush on voting and said she believed the construction projects should have been made by a vote of the people.
more with less and I want the federal government to do the same thing. They have to see we can do more with less and cut spending. Our corporate tax rate is the second highest in the world. Only Japan is higher and we’ve got to change that if we want jobs to come back to Americans.” On Social Security, Miller refuted claims from Shuler’s camp that Miller wanted to privatize the program. “I would never have anything to do with making changes to Social Security,” Miller said. “We made a promise to people that the program would be there for them and it will be. I’ve been working with a lot of World War II veterans doing flights to Washington, D.C. so they can see the WWII memorial. I could never let them down after all they’ve done for us. Those men and women literally saved the world and freed two conti-
nents from tyranny. In fact, we owe them more and if I’m elected I will do more to make sure our veterans’ programs get the support and resources they deserve. But we’ve got to make changes to level our business playing field otherwise no one is going to be paying into Social Security anymore because they won’t have jobs.”
agencies to create this desperately needed program. “When we found this grant opportunity, the Sheriff’s Office pounced on it because every day the officers in the jail witness the devastation that substance abuse inflicts upon families—especially on children when one or sometimes both of their parents keep cycling in and out of jail. We’re all hopeful that this project will ultimately help dozens of parents stabilize themselves and their families.” Susan V. Hendrick commented recently, “As the nongovernmental member of the Western Highlands LME (Local Management Entities) board of directors for Rutherford County and as the chairman of the Behavioral Grant Committee for Rutherford County, I am so appreciative of the hard work of Suzanne and other members of the Rutherford Behavioral Coalition, which enabled our county to receive this grant. “Part of the funding which enables Suzanne to research and apply for grants that will benefit Rutherford County in the behavioral fields has been provided for two years through grants of Maintenance of Effort (MOE) monies from Rutherford County. “Application for this funding was made by United Way of Rutherford County, which provides support to Suzanne in her efforts. Having her expertise in searching out and applying for grants has been critical in accomplishing improvements in Rutherford County in the areas of substance abuse prevention and other
behavioral health areas.” LMEs are agencies that are responsible for managing, coordinating, facilitating and monitoring the provision of mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services in the area served. Also, transitional/ halfway housing will be available for clients who need a safe place to live during treatment and recovery. Ten weeks of the stay will be paid through the grant. Transitional housing will be provided at Lydia’s Place for women and Isaiah’s for men. DSS, Vocational Rehab, and Forest City Housing Authority are working in partnership on this project, as well. According to information collected from jail personnel while the grant was being written, on any given day at the Rutherford County Jail, at least 50 percent of the inmates are parents of minor children, and 80 to 85 percent have some type of substanceabuse-related issue. Drug problems are connected to a lot of thefts in the county, Conner added. He noted that last weekend alone there were a number of breakins where medications were stolen. That is especially frustrating, he commented, when the stolen pills have nothing in them that would induce a drug high, but thieves don’t know that. Only 30 sites nationwide were awarded funds under this anti-drug grant opportunity.
She also read a letter from Carl Parton addressing the same issue. Although the Daniel Road improvement project was approved by a three to two vote, the vote Monday night does not include any building decisions on the site and any construction projects there will be decided by a future board of commissioners. With the land purchases in the area, one over-riding benefit is it protects the entire eastern boundary of Isothermal Community College and allows the college the potential to expand in the future, County Manager John Condrey explained.

Miller acknowledged that Shuler’s camp was outspending him. “He’s got more than $1 million to spend,” Miller said. “I think we’re going to be somewhere over $400,000, but I don’t know yet because we aren’t done. But I can tell you this, I plan to make him spend every penny of it if he thinks he can buy an election.” Contact Baughman via e-mail at sbaughman@thedigitalcourier.com.

other UNC football players are declared ineligible
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Junior center Tony Woods has received a release from the Wake Forest basketball program. The school said Monday that Woods asked for a release so he could pursue other options. Woods was suspended indefinitely from the program last month after he was arrested on assault charges. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeamor charge of assaulting a female and was given a suspended 60-day sentence. Coach Jeff Bzdelik in a statement says that he met with Woods “a number of times and we felt this was the best course of action for him.”
N.C. State looks for more success at ECU RALEIGH (AP) — Already a contender for the ACC championship, North Carolina State also is chasing another unofficial state title. Since Tom O’Brien took over the program in 2007, the Wolfpack are 7-3 against the state’s other four Bowl Subdivision teams. His team is stepping out of ACC play this week and faces a neighbor for the first time this season when the Wolfpack (5-1) travel to East Carolina (3-2). O’Brien said Monday that one reason for his success against its instate rivals is because “it’s not just a normal game.”

RUTHERFORDTON — Chase picked up an historic win as when it blanked R-S Central on the road, 2-0, Monday night. The Trojans, who were 0-6-1 in the school history against the Hilltoppers, scored a first half goal and then added another in the second to beat Central for the first time ever. “We are a happy club and this kind of win signifies that our program is on the right track,” Chase soccer coach Greg Deshommes said. “The boys believed in themselves, made it happen and I am extremely proud of them.” It was also an all-star kind of night for
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Developers of a new NFL stadium on a hilly strip of land east of Los Angeles are sketching out plans for a second highprofile use for the venue: World Cup soccer. Architects for Majestic Realty Co. said Monday they were tweaking the design of the stadium to incorporate field measurements and bleacher configurations based on guidelines from World Cup organizer FIFA, which wants a width of 68 meters (75 yards). The news came amid possible competition from sports and entertainment powerhouse AEG, which is deciding whether to build a stadium in downtown Los Angeles to lure an NFL franchise. Dan Meis, principal stadium architect for Majestic, said he can adjust his plans further to include additional guidelines FIFA may release ahead of the 2018 and 2022 games that are being sought by the United States. Los Angeles is among the 18 U.S. cities proposed as sites if FIFA’s executive committee votes on Dec. 2 to give the 2018 or 2022 tournament to the United States.

Despite the Hilltoppers holding possession for 80 percent of the game or more and putting up 29 overall shots to 15, Central could never find the nets. The surprising number comes in Hilltoppers’ corner kicks as they blasted 13, on a night where Chase didn’t have any.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Marvin Austin, Robert Quinn and Greg Little were supposed to lead North Carolina’s resurgence under Butch Davis this season. Instead, they never even stepped on the field. And the trouble for the football program is still not over. The school kicked Austin off the team Monday while the NCAA declared Quinn and Little “permanently ineligible” amid an ongoing investigation into whether players received improper benefits from agents. Monday was the latest step in what has been a painstaking process that has inched along for weeks. The Tar Heels, who are also being investigated for possible academic violations, began the season with 13 players sidelined. The status of six players remains in question. The investigations have damaged the reputation of the program and university. They also have raised the possibility of sanctions or vacated wins, even questions about a lack of institutional control for the program. The NCAA said Quinn and Little received travel accommodations and jewelry, then lied about it to investigators in three separate interviews. Meanwhile, the school decided it wouldn’t wait any longer to cut ties with Austin — a star defensive tackle at the center of the investigation — after the NCAA provided preliminary information that Austin had received double the benefits furnished to Quinn and Little. Athletic director Dick Baddour said the school wouldn’t appeal the ruling. “I’m also very sad and disappointed that these individuals made these extraordinarily poor choices,” Davis said during a news conference. “Not only did they jeopardize themselves in their lives, they certainly have jeopardized this team, the university and I know that they’re very remorseful about that. But it doesn’t diminish the fact that these actions were poor choices in these kids’ lives.”
Fox: QB decision not made CHARLOTTE (AP) — Jimmy Clausen’s job may not be secure, but Jeff Davidson’s is. A day after a new low point in Carolina’s miserable, winless season, embattled coach John Fox said Monday that it’s “too early to say” if the rookie Clausen will remain the starting quarterback. But Fox rejected talk of making changes to his staff, including his offensive coordinator Davidson, to try to jump-start the NFL’s worst offense. “No,” Fox said. “I think we just have to play better.” An offense that just can’t seem to hit bottom managed eight first downs and 147 yards in Sunday’s 23-6 loss to Chicago that got Clausen benched. The performance in front of booing home fans dropped the Panthers into last place among the league’s 32 teams in Associated Press total offense.

Giants stymie Braves again ATLANTA (AP) — San Francisco won another thriller, again with help from some shaky Atlanta defense, and the Giants are off to the NL championship series for the first time since 2002. For Bobby Cox, there are no more games. Cody Ross homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single, leading the Giants to a 3-2 victory in Game 4 Monday night and wrapping up an NL division series that was tight and tense to the very last out. Every game was decided by one run, but the Giants won three of them to take the best-of-five series and earn a shot against two-time defending NL champion Philadelphia.
Michigan coach back in hot seat ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Rich Rodriguez insists he has great support from his bosses at Michigan, along with alumni and former players. Like any coach, he has critics — and they are a little louder now after a 34-17 loss to Michigan State. “We lost that game so they’re going to come back out and start doubting everything we’ve done,” defensive end Ryan Van Bergen said Monday. Just like last year, the Wolverines got off to a great start this season before losing to their instate rivals. Unlike last year, the game wasn’t even close. Michigan gave up twice as many points as they scored Saturday at home — after losing last year by six points — for its first three-game skid in the series since 1965-67. “We lost to Michigan State, what, you wanna take me and hang me off the building now?” Rodriguez asked. “I mean, there might be a few people who want to do that, but it’s the same people that probably wanted to do that after the first five games, too, they just weren’t saying it publicly.” Michigan put up a school-record nine losses in Rodriguez’s debut season and a 5-7 record after winning the first four games last year. The embattled coach had seemed to quiet his detractors with a 5-0 start this season, but now they’re predicting his team will collapse again.

keep Central off the board. Building off the save, Chase found the nets just three minutes later. On an outlet pass from Daniel Luna, Clint McIntyre used his speed to run past the Hilltopper defense and blast a 15-yard shot from near post, but the ball bounced hard off the chest of Central keeper Harrison Lave. Rene Escelera got to
the rebound before anybody else could and scored. The 1-0 lead at the 31:47 mark of the Pa first half would hold for Chase. Central again threatened during the second half, but Harth and company held tough. Harth batted a Simon King shot over the crossbar during the 43rd minute and Jesus Gonzalez’s during the 56th to protect the Trojans lead. Chase then added its final goal of the match to stun Central in the 60th minute on a reaching left-foot shot from Andy Vargas that sailed into the far corner for a 2-0 Trojan advantage. From there, Chase used defense from Harth, Luna, Victor Fabian, and Luis Elias to secure the win. “I thought we played lackluster and flat in the first half with no passion,“ R-S Central soccer coach Jason Hipp said. “Chase played with the heart and effort that we didn’t and they deserved to win.”

Sports The NFL: Week 5
Panthers Continued from Page 7A
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Ravens (4-1) moved a half-game ahead of the idle Steelers atop the AFC North after Ray Rice ran for 133 yards and two TDs and the best pass defense prevailed over the best passing offense. Although Kyle Orton threw for 314 yards — his fourth straight game with 300-plus yards — and had two TD passes to Brandon Lloyd, the Broncos (2-3) fell behind 17-0 with 9:21 left in the second quarter and were hurt by a lost fumble and 10 penalties for 90 yards.
with five touchdowns, 16 turnovers and 52 points, good for a league-worst average of 10.4 points a game. “I think at this stage we’ve got nowhere to go but up,” Fox said. But there appear to be few ways for the NFL’s youngest team to get better in what’s become a lost season. With top receiver Steve Smith still in a protective boot with a high ankle sprain, the Panthers on Sunday became the first team since Cleveland in 1999 to start a rookie at both receiver spots and quarterback. And while Clausen was brutal — 9 of 22 for 61 yards, an interception and three fumbles — Matt Moore wasn’t any better when he replaced him late in the fourth quarter. Moore, benched for Clausen after Week 2, threw 10 passes. Five went to his teammates and two to the Bears. Clausen has a 52.2 passer rating this season and Moore a 33.3. It leaves Fox, in the final year of his contract, with an unpleasant decision before Carolina faces San Francisco (0-5) on Oct. 24. “I think it’s too early to say,” Fox said. “We’ll evaluate that as we move forward this week.” Maybe the Panthers could even decide to use more of the wildcat formation with receiver Armanti Edwards. The converted college quarterback was on the active roster for the first time looks — the Redskins are skyagainst the Bears and ran two plays from direct high since they won all of four snaps with little success. games last season; the Packers “We’re looking at all means to move up from 32,” have lost two of their last three Fox said. and quarterback Aaron Rodgers Fox tried to lighten the mood Monday.

Super Bowl teams struggling By The Associated Press
Super Bowl hangover, anyone? The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, and the team they beat, the Indianapolis Colts, both are 3-2 five weeks into the season. Neither is playing close to its championship form of a year ago, and are probably more lucky than good to be over .500. Peyton Manning missed out on a 300-yard game, did not throw a touchdown pass and seemed out of sync, but the Colts got a late touchdown run from Mike Hart for a 19-9 win Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Drew Brees threw three interceptions against Arizona and the Cardinals capitalized for a 30-20 victory with undrafted rookie Max Hall making his first start at quarterback. New Orleans trails Atlanta (4-1) in the NFC South, with Tampa Bay at 3-1, while Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Houston and Tennessee are tied in the AFC South. Manning led the Colts to field goals by Adam Vinatieri of 20, 24, 47 and 42 yards before Hart, replacing the injured Joseph Addai, scored from 11 yards out with 4:02 left. Ryan Succop had field goals of 45, 35, and 43 yards for the Chiefs. Kansas City’s loss marks the first time since 1970 that the NFL has no 4-0 teams. Saints coach Sean Payton says his team’s continued failure to produce in the red zone, as well as turnovers, poor kick coverage and penalties are taking a toll. Hall completed 17 of 27 passes for 168 yards, but had some luck and a lot of help from his defense. Hall fumbled twice, but both times teammates recovered, with one ending in a 2-yard TD run by tackle Levi Brown. Also, Kerry Rhodes returned Ladell Betts’ fumble 27 yards for a score and, with 10 seconds to play, Dominique RodgersCromartie returned an interception 28 yards for the clinching TD.
Titans 34, Cowboys 27 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Chris Johnson scored a pair of 1-yard TDs in the fourth quarter to lift Tennessee over mistakeprone Dallas, a team that had high hopes of becoming the first host team to play in the Super Bowl. The Cowboys (1-3) fell behind 17-3 with penalties and errors on defense. Dallas managed to tie it at 17 and 20, then a tipped
pass that was intercepted set up Johnson’s first touchdown of the final period. Tony Romo tied it again at 27 on a touchdown throw to Jason Witten, then offensive lineman Marc Colombo was penalized 15 yards for celebrating. Dallas kicked off from farther back and Tennessee’s Marc Mariani returned it to the 11. A penalty on the tackle moved the ball to the 5, setting up Johnson’s next TD.
Eagles 27, 49ers 24 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kevin Kolb passed for 253 yards while capably filling in for injured Michael Vick, and Quintin Mikell returned Alex Smith’s fumble 52 yards for a TD early in the fourth quarter. LeSean McCoy rushed for a score and Trevard Lindley made a last-minute interception for the Eagles (3-2), who forced five turnovers and survived San Francisco’s late rally and left the 49ers (0-5) with their worst start in 31 years.
Ravens 31, Broncos 17
DETROIT (AP) — The Lions (1-4) got into the win column to end a 10-game slide as Stefan Logan tied a team mark with a 105-yard kickoff return. Shaun Hill threw for 227 yards and connected with Calvin Johnson, Brandon Pettigrew and Nate Burleson for touchdowns in Detroit’s most-lopsided victory since beating expansion Jacksonville 44-0 in 1995.
HOUSTON (AP) — Eli Manning threw two of his three touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks and the Giants held Houston to a franchise-low 24 yards rushing. Nicks finished with career highs of 12 catches and 130 yards. Manning was 27 of 42 for 297 yards, and threw his third TD pass to Steve Smith.
Redskins 16, Packers 13, OT
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — David Garrard shook off an interception and lost fumble with three TD passes — two to TE Marcedes Lewis — to rally Jacksonville (3-2). Mike Sims-Walker’s 7-yard touchdown put the Jaguars ahead for good, 27-20 late in the third quarter.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Washington’s fate came down to the final snap for the fourth time in five weeks, and this time Graham Gano came through with a 33-yard field goal 6:54 into overtime. The win left both teams with 3-2 records but different out-

ANATOMICAL DONATION
There has been much confusion over the subject of anatomical donation. Many think that the body will be sent to a research facility to improve medical science. This is only partly correct. In most cases, the body is being donated to a medical school for students to use during their gross anatomy training. Most medical schools require that the potential donor contact them to register their desires prior to the time of donation. This will expedite the donation process at the time of death and help survivors realize the wishes of the deceased. A funeral director will still be contacted at the time of death to move the body from the place of death and to assist in transferring the remains to the respective medical school. The funeral director will make the necessary contacts and receive instructions from the medical school regarding preparation. There is no guarantee that the body will be accepted. For instance, if the cause of death is due to substantial trauma, a communicable disease, or from an
illness that has caused deterioration to internal tissue there is a strong probability that the donation will be refused. In the case of a refusal the family will be given options by their funeral provider. It is also important to note that the remains will not be returned to the family after use. Most institutions will cremate the remains and return them to the next-of-kin. The cycle of usage will usually last three to six months. If you are considering anatomical donation it would be prudent to contact the medical school of choice to complete the necessary forms. It would also be wise to give a copy of any completed correspondence to your funeral provider.

ter back. I miss her so much,” Zahra’s father, Adam Baker, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday. The girl’s stepmother told her husband she last saw Zahra sleeping in her bed at 2:30 a.m. Saturday, about 2 1/2 hours before the fire was reported. Adam Baker said he was panicked after the fire, but didn’t immediately check on his daughter. The police chief said he wouldn’t rule out any suspects, including Adam Baker. Adam Baker was asked if he thought his wife was involved and said, “I wouldn’t like to think so. On what I’ve heard so far, it could be possible.” On Monday, several of Adam Baker’s friends stood outside his one-story house in Hickory, a city of 40,000 residents about 50 miles northwest of Charlotte. “I just don’t have a good feeling about this,” said former neighbor Kayla Rotenberry. “She was such a sweet girl. This is just a nightmare.” Rotenberry said she and her fiance were good friends with the Bakers when they lived in the nearby town of Sawmills, and saw Zahra often. The couple was skeptical of the girl’s stepmother, in part because she claimed to write songs for musician and “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry, and told other far-fetched stories, Rotenberry said. Daughtry’s manager said he was unaware of any connection between Elisa Baker and the singer. “We just got to the point where we didn’t believe her. We knew they were lies,” said Rotenberry, 23. The stepmother also had a short temper, Rotenberry said. Rotenberry said about six months ago she noticed that Elisa Baker’s hand was swollen. “She told me that she was trying to spank Zahra, but hit her on her prosthetic leg,” she said. “When Adam asked her about the injury, she said she fell and hurt her hand. She didn’t want him to know. She knew he would be mad.” Another former neighbor, Brandy Stapleton, 22, of Lenoir, said that Elisa Baker told her the same story about how she injured her hand. “She wasn’t the person everyone thought she was.” Adam Baker was from Australia, and met his current wife over the Internet, Stapleton said. Zahra’s mother lives outside the U.S. Zahra had two hearing aids, which were left at the house, and a prosthetic left leg from the knee down, police said. The child had lost part of her hearing during chemotherapy for two bouts of cancer, her stepmother told the Independent-Tribune of Concord-Kannapolis in May during a charity event where she got free hearing aids.

Social Security increase not looking likely BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Seniors prepared to cut back on everything from food to charitable donations to whiskey as word spread Monday that they will have to wait until at least 2012 to see their Social Security checks increase. The government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through a second straight year without an increase in monthly benefits. This year was the first without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation started in 1975. “I think it’s disgusting,” said Paul McNeil, 69, a retired state worker from Warwick, R.I., who said his food and utility costs have gone up, but his income has not. He lamented decisions by lawmakers that he said do not favor seniors. “They’ve got this idea that they’ve got to save money and basically they want to take it out of the people that will give them the least resistance,” he said. Cost-of-living adjustments are automatically set by a measure adopted by Congress in the 1970s that orders raises based on the Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation. If inflation is negative, as in 2009 and 2010, payments remain unchanged. Still, seniors like McNeil said they’ll be thinking about the issue when they go to vote, and experts said the news comes at a bad time for Democrats already facing potentially big losses in November. Seniors are the most loyal of voters, and their support is especially important during midterm elections, when turnout is generally lower. “If you’re the ruling party, this is not the sort of thing you want to have happening two weeks before an election,” said Andrew Biggs, a former deputy commissioner at the Social Security Administration. At St. Andrews Estates North, a Boca Raton retirement community, seniors largely took the news in stride, saying they don’t blame Washington for the lack of an increase. Most are also collecting pensions or other income, but even so, they prepared to tighten their belts. Bette Baldwin won’t be able to travel or help her children as much. Dorcas Eppright will give less to charity. Jack Dawson will buy cheap whiskey instead of his beloved Canadian Club. “For people who have worked their whole life and tried to scrimp and save and try to provide for themselves,” said Baldwin, a 63-year-old retired teacher, “it’s difficult to see that support system might not sustain you.”

Markets fight to a mixed finish NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks struggled to a mixed finish on Monday, just days after the Dow Jones industrial average rose above 11,000 for the first time since early May. Trading was muted with no major economic or earnings reports out. Investors were looking ahead to more corporate earnings this week. The Dow was stuck in a 35-point range throughout the day. Bond trading was closed for Columbus Day. Investors have been betting that the Federal Reserve will act in the coming weeks to stimulate the economy and drive interest rates lower. Hopes have been building that the Fed could announce an expansion of its bond-buying program as soon as its next meeting Nov. 2-3. The bond market was closed Monday for the Columbus Day holiday. Tom Samuels, managing partner at Palantir Capital
Management, said the stock market has even been reacting to disappointing reports in recent days because that adds to the expectations the Fed will act soon. “The market is trying to convince itself that good news is good news and bad news is good news,” Samuels said. The Dow has risen five of the past six weeks and is now less than 2 percent from its highest level of the year, which it touched in late April. Interest rates have also been plummeting in anticipation of the Fed’s move, and those lower rates make stocks more attractive. “The 10-year rate is going to make stocks look cheaper and cheaper compared to bonds,” said Bob Phillips, managing partner at Spectrum Management Group. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is often used to set interest rates

on loans. It was at 2.39 percent Friday, near its lowest level since January 2009. Traders will get key economic reports at the end of the week, including data on inflation, retail sales and consumer sentiment, that could influence trading. The Fed has said part of the reason it might buy bonds is to get inflation more in line with historical levels. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 3.63, or 0.03 percent, to close at 11,010.11. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 0.15 to 1,165.30, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 0.42, or 0.02 percent, to 2,402.33. Rising stocks narrowly outpaced declining ones on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 825 million shares. The dollar rose Monday against the euro and Japan’s yen.

From vine to wine
Making your own might not be as hard as you think .... By ALLISON FLYNN Daily Courier Lifestyles Editor
You don’t have to strip off your socks and stomp grapes a la “I Love Lucy” to make wine – although you certainly can if you prefer. Instead, if you want to preserve the fruit of the vine by making wine, it’s best to get started with a winemaking kit, said Christine Klahn, owner of Love Story Farm and budding viticulturist. “If you’re just learning, it’s easiest to make it from a kit,” Klahn said. “It contains the juice and other ingredients and the instructions for making wine.” Kits come in a multitude of varietals, from Chardonnay to Shiraz and then some, Klahn said. Once you mastered that, she said, you can move on to more advanced techniques using virtually any kind of fruit – and even some unexpected ingredients. “I’ve heard of tomato and onion wines and even chocolate wines,” Klahn said. “A lot of people recommend tomato wine because they say after six months it tastes just like grape wine.” Klahn has been making wine all summer from season fruit – persimmons, strawberries and more recently, muscadines. Keep in mind it takes a good bit of fruit to yield wine. “For a five gallon batch of muscadine wine it took about 10 gallons of berries,” she said. To make wine, you basically need fruit, sugar and yeast. Clean equipment, she said, is also imperative. Please see Wine, Page 8B
A recipe so delectable no one will know you’re faking it A silky concentration of broth and wine enrobing chunks of tender, melting beef, studded with glistening pearl onions and mushrooms. It’s my riff on Boeuf Bourguignon. And while not classical, I think it’s easier, with straight forward flavors. Gather your ingredients and equipment: 2 pounds pot roast, cut into 2-inch pieces 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 head garlic Six sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dry thyme 1 whole onion 2 bay leaves 2 tablespoons flour ½ bottle red table wine such as cabernet or zinfandel 16 ounces lower sodium beef broth ½ bag frozen pearl onions 8 ounces button mushrooms – crimini, if available, quartered Salt and pepper Oven proof pot, such as a dutch oven or stew pot Heat the oil in the pot over medium high heat, and once it is shimmering, add the hunks of beef. If necessary, to prevent crowding, cook in two batches. Once the meat is browned on all sides, remove it from the pan, and stir a couple of tablespoons

of flour into the hot fat. Once it begins to color, deglaze the pan with half of a bottle of drinkable red wine. Scrape up all of those brown goodies in the bottom of the pan, and add in a couple of cups of beef stock. Homemade is marvelous, but store-bought will do. Use a lower sodium version, because the broth is going to concentrate, and saltiness can be a problem. Add your beef back in, continuing to simmer the mixture on the top of the stove. Cut an onion or a couple of large shallots into quarters, peel and all. Same thing with 8-10 cloves of garlic. Just give them a whack with a knife and toss them in, no fussing with peels – the sauce will be strained before serving. Add the thyme, bay leaves and six or so whole peppercorns. A typical boeuf bourguignon has carrots as well. I don’t add them because I don’t care for the grassy sweetness they bring to the party, but

you make your own call on that. Cover the pot, and put it into a 300 degree oven. Now, tidy up the kitchen and go practice your tennis swing, or start that novel you always wanted to write. The beef can simmer away quietly for a couple of hours. About 30 minutes before you are going to serve, remove the meat from the pan, and strain the sauce through a strainer, pressing on the aromatics to extract all of that goodness. The sauce should be smooth, and thick enough to coat the
back of a spoon. If it is too thin, whisk in a tablespoon of flour. If it is too thick, thin it with a little water or a bit more wine, and return the meat and sauce to the pan. If you wish, you can just dump the frozen onions and quartered mushrooms straight in the pot. However, a quick sauté in a little butter gives the veggies a lovely gloss and intensified flavor. Sauté them ahead while the beef is in the oven. Taste the sauce for seasoning, and add salt and pepper, if needed. Return the pot to the oven, uncovered if the
sauce needs to thicken a bit, for another 30 minutes. I love to serve this dish with noodles tossed with sour cream, parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. This is a favorite autumn Sunday supper dish in our house. If you prefer rice, or boiled potatoes, or even just a crusty loaf of bread, go for it!

Tattoo hullabaloo draws response Dear Abby: You told “No Ink in Louisville” (Aug. 24) that her friend cared more about getting a tattoo than the feelings of the bride-tobe, and her “little sister” should have postponed getting one until after the wedding. I think “No Ink” was insensitive on several counts. If she truly loves her dear friend, why couldn’t she simply accept her friend’s wish to wear a tattoo at the wedding? Shouldn’t the love and acceptance of her friend come first? We are talking about true friendship. Should body appearance be so important to the bride that she thinks the tattoo will ruin her wedding or the photographs? Friendship works both ways. I think both women were insensitive in their regard for each other. Come on! It’s only a tattoo. — Bob Dear Bob: Thank you for writing. I had an “inkling” my readers might have varied suggestions and opinions regarding that letter. Read on: Dear Abby: I think the tattoo would not only be visible for pictures, but also take away the beauty of the entire event. Attendants should complement the wedding not distract from it. I would ask the bridesmaid to please wear a sheer matching jacket — or bow out. After all, it is the bride and groom’s day — and it IS a big deal. — No Tattoo Dear Abby: If “Ink” cared about her friend’s feelings, she would
Dear Abby Abigail van Buren
never have requested that she wait six months to get a tattoo. There were people I would have loved to have had in my wedding party, but because I knew they were neither punctual nor reliable, they were guests, not part of my bridal party. I never would ask someone to put his or her life on hold for my one day. — Jillian Dear Abby: The photographer can easily remove the tattoo from the photos. Thank goodness for digital photography! We have a picture of our son that was taken with his now ex-girlfriend and, because of the wonders of modern photography, he is now standing alone and looking mighty fine! — Deleted Her from the Picture Dear Abby: There are many makeup concealers made to specifically camouflage tattoos. “Ink” can find plenty of them in makeup stores or online. They may be expensive, but if her friend agrees, it would be a small price to pay for the bride’s peace of mind. And in this situation, because it’s the bride who wants to hide the tattoo, I think she should be the one to buy the concealer. — Ink Lover
Irregular periods require investigation Dear Dr. Gott: My daughter is 19 and has always had irregular periods (every other month or longer). Her last period was in February. She is not sexually active, and a gynecological exam was normal. The doctor prescribed Provera and wanted to start her on a regimen of birth-control pills. She has a history of migraines and is reluctant to try this treatment. What are her options? She had a lifestyle change living away at college last year but did not have a weight change. Many times, she will have PMS but won’t have her cycle. Should we get another exam that includes a thyroid check or anything other than a routine gynecological exam? Dear Reader: Adolescent girls don’t always have regular periods, especially during the first few years, but as they age, they should
Puzzle
Ask Dr. Gott Dr. Peter M. Gott
experience a gradual change to regularity. By 19, your daughter should be having regular menstrual cycles. Average cycles occur every 28 days. Young teens can cycle every 21 to 45 days, and adults from 21 to 35 days. If she is not, further examination and testing should be performed. I recommend your daughter request that the situation be looked into further with blood tests to check various hormone levels to check for a thyroid condition, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), low estrogen or progestin levels and perhaps an ultrasound to check for physical abnormalities such as deformity or cysts.

NCDA&CS offers road signs for agritourism farms RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is launching a new program designed to help travelers locate agritourism farms through the use of roadside signs. “Our state’s agritourism farms are great community resources, entertaining visitors while also sharing our agricultural heritage and showcasing the importance of farming in our state,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Signs at farm entrances will help visitors locate these agri-
tourism operations along our rural country roads.” Applications are now being accepted, and the signs will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Agritourism farms can apply to purchase the 13-inch by 20-inch metal roadside signs for $20. Farms that are interested in participating in the program must fill out a Goodness Grows membership application and a separate application for the agritourism farm sign and submit both along with a $20 check or
money order. If an application cannot be approved or the farm decides not to enroll in the program before the application is processed, the sign cost will be refunded minus an administrative fee of $2. More information and application forms are available on the agritourism website, www.ncagr.gov/agritourism under the link “North Carolina Agritourism Farm Signs,” or by calling Martha Glass at (919) 707-3120 or e-mail at martha.glass@ncagr.gov.

DEYTON and wife, MIRANDA L. DEYTON to Joe Belcher, Trustee, dated May 18, 2005 and recorded in Book 840, Page 488 in the Rutherford County Registry of North Carolina. RECORD OWNERS OF THE REAL PROPERTY: The record owners of the subject real property as reflected on the records of the Rutherford County Register of Deeds not more than 10 days prior to the posting of this Notice is or are Aaron G. 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. Take further notice that any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days’ written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. This the 10th day of September, 2010. ___________________________________________ Jay B. Green Attorney for Deidre D. DeFlorentis, Substitute Trustee 908 E.

“Every piece of equipment has to be sanitized before you begin, because bacteria plus sugar equals vinegar,” she said. “Yeast plus sugar equals alcohol.” The explanation of the chemical reaction that takes place to actually create wine can be simplified to this, Klahn said. “Yeast like to eat sugar and poop alcohol,” she said. “The yeast burps carbonation and that’s what makes the bubbles.” While wine made from grapes requires just mashing the grapes mostly, wine made from apples – which are in season now – requires the addition of pectic enzymes, Klahn said. “Those help break down all the cell walls to help release the juice,” she

said. “It takes about four months.” If you want to save time, wines made from kits are the route to take, Klahn said. “With a kit it takes about a month and you get around 30 bottles of wine,” she said. Wine making kits can be ordered from a variety of sources, and Klahn likes to purchase the ones she uses for personal use and for winemaking classes she offers at her farm through grapestompers.com. Kits range in price up to $150. Klahn will offer wine making and beer making courses at Love Story Farm during the winter months; check the calendar on the farm’s website at www.lovestoryfarm.webs. com. You must be 21 or older to take the courses. Contact Flynn via email aflynn@thedigitalcourier.com.
