WHAT’S NEWS J.D. Power recognizes hospitals
CHARLOTTE Carolinas Medical Center (CMC), Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville, Carolinas Medical CenterUnion and Carolinas Medical Center-University have been recognized for service excellence under the J.D. Power and Associates Distinguished Hospital Program. This distinction acknowledges a strong commitment by these five hospitals—which are part of the Charlotte, N.C.based Carolinas HealthCare System—to provide “An Outstanding Maternity Experience.” The service excellence distinction was determined by surveying recently discharged patients about their perceptions of their hospital visit and comparing the results to the national benchmarks established in the annual J.D. Power and Associates National Hospital Service Performance Study. All five facilities exceed the national benchmark study score for maternity patient satisfaction and perform particularly well, compared with the national study, in providing patients with dignity and respect. The hospitals also perform well in providing patients with emotional support.
Nongovernmental, acutecare hospitals throughout the nation are eligible for the J.D. Power and Associates Distinguished Hospital recognition for inpatient, maternity, cardiovascular, emergency and outpatient services. Distinction is valid for one year, after which time the hospital may reapply for this recognition.

Perfect Fit tax incentives will stand BY JASON deBRUYN
Staff Writer
MONROE The county board awarded a $19,557 tax break to Perfect Fit Industries LLC. The board believed Union to be in a competition with Loogootee, Ind., for a plant expansion by Perfect Fit, a bedding manufacturer with a factory in the
Sutton Park area of Monroe. On Oct. 5, Perfect Fit laid off nearly two-thirds of its workforce in Loogootee and plans to shut down that factory completely by Dec. 31, according to paperwork filed with an Indiana workforce development board. Monday evening, the head of Union’s economic development contractor said he believes
Union to still be in a competition for the Perfect Fit expansion and that the incentive offered by the county could sway the company’s choice of location. Commissioners Kim Rogers, Allan Baucom and Parker Mills voted to move ahead with the grant offer while Commissioners Tracy Kuehler and Lanny Openshaw voted to deny it. Kuehler

MONROE She’s trading fast food for protein bars and lifting those weights more than usual. Parkwood basketball player Bailey Sims attended a female athlete summit last week that changed the way she trains. The summit, held at Queens University, focused on unique issues women face in sports, from eating disorders and knee injuries to leadership and going pro. “You have to be on top of your game,” both athletically and academically, Breanna Ringersen, a softball player for Central Academy of Technology and Arts, said. That means eating well, finishing homework and making sacrifices to improve her play, she said. Bailey’s parents, Keith and Cheryl, also sat in on the summit. Cheryl used to play basketball, too, and wishes she had a similar summit growing up.

MONROE Everyone is out of the hospital following a bus wreck over the weekend. An activity bus carrying 12 high school students and three adults overturned Saturday evening after driver Leah Ross ran off the road and overcorrected. The bus was traveling down Weddington Road, about a mile west of Rocky River Road, at the time of the incident. The group, including nine students from Cuthbertson and three from Parkwood, was returning from a leadership conference. All students and two of the adults went to the hospital, some shaken by the incident. All were released that evening, Union County Public Schools spokeswoman Luan Ingram said. “We are so grateful that it turned out to not be any more serious than it was,” she said, calling it “really remarkable” that no one suffered serious injuries. “As far as I know, everyone is doing fine,” Ingram said. Ross teaches at Cuthbertson High and has a bus license, but is not a regular bus driver. She was ticketed for failure to maintain lane control, Sgt. J.A. Memory with the N.C. Highway Patrol said. There is an “ongoing investigation” into whether Ross can still drive for the school system, Denise Patterson, assistant superintendent for auxiliary services, said. When asked if the district will make any changes to driving regulations due to the incident, Ingram said she doesn’t “anticipate any changes. It was just an accident.”
said she could not find any facts to show a competition between Union and Loogootee, citing that as the reason she voted against the incentive grant. Admitting he did not like the situation, Baucom said he wanted to make sure jobs stayed in the county, and if that meant spending nearly $20,000 of taxpayer money, it was a good investment.

Pharmacy bake sale helps disabled pups By Lacey Hampton
Staff Writer
Indian Trail The Indian Trail Pharmacy raised $933 for two disabled German shepherd puppies Saturday. The pharmacy, which is at 106 South Indian Trail Road, hosted a bake sale to raise money for Savanna and Bella, two German shepherd puppies with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a form of cerebral palsy. From 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Deborah Iannone, the puppies’ owner, and pharmacy staff sold baked goods and took in donations at Indian Trail’s Family Fun Day. Savanna and Bella have no use of their hind legs and are in need of specialized wheelchairs to move around. Iannone was originally trying to raise money for a $500 wheelchair for each dog but recently discovered that because of the way they walk, they will need a quad

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s rate of teenage pregnancy is at a record low, but researchers remain concerned about racial disparities. The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina said Monday that 56 of every 1,000 girls aged 15 to 19 became pregnant in 2009. That’s down from the 2008 rate of more than 58 per 1,000 girls, and the lowest rate ever recorded. Pregnancy and abortion rates have been falling since 1991.
chair, which can range from $900-$1,200 each. “They’re not going to be able to hold up a wheelchair because they’re not standing on their front feet,” she said. She had about $1,400 raised before Saturday’s event and is grateful that the pharmacy’s staff chose to help with the fundraising, she said. “I think it was fantastic, I couldn’t say thank you enough to them,” she said. She and members of the staff did the baking for the fundraiser and sucessfully sold all of their products. “A whole bunch of people baked a bunch of stuff and we put it all out on the table and priced the stuff and it all sold,” she said. “Even though it was sold, people kept coming over to the girls (Savanna and Bella) and they were asking questions about what happened and still giving donations without buying anything.” The pharmacy’s staff heard about Savanna and Bella’s story and wanted to see if they could do something for them, Staci Bolt, a pharmacy technician with the Indian Trail Pharmacy, said. “We decided it would be a good idea and mainly we really wanted to help them,” she said. All the money from the bake sale went to Savanna and Bella who could be found in a play pen at the pharmacy’s booth during family fun day, Bolt said.

U.S. SENATE
Marshall recalls roots to appeal to rural N.C. MIKE BAKER
The Associated Press
ELAINE MARSHALL
WILSON In this former tobacco town where the unemployment rate hovers over 12 percent, Elaine Marshall rails against Ponzi schemes, wealth gaps and Wall Street deals. Regular working Americans and the communities they live in have been forgotten, she strains to tell a crowd over the din of breakfast at a barbecue restaurant. She points to the lack of broadband accessibility. She touts her past efforts as a state senator to expand rural health care coverage. And she recalls her own childhood in rural Maryland. “I knew what it was like to feel like a second-class citizen because of where I lived,” she says. Marshall’s second campaign for U.S. Senate is built largely around connecting with North Carolina’s rural residents even as the state grows increasingly urban. Though she’s been North Carolina’s secretary of state for more than a decade, she takes time to highlight her previous jobs — from smalltown lawyer to small business owner — and her four-decade transition from teaching home economics to policing Wall Street economics. “As your North Carolina senator, I will remember where I came from,” she says. The 64-year old challenger to Republican Sen. Richard Burr hails from a still-operating family farm in Lineboro, Md., where wheat, beef cattle and chickens were raised. She was the first in her family to attend and graduate from college, something paid for by the money made in agriculture. Marshall frequently talks about the youth development organization 4-H. In Maryland she was a 4-H president. In 1967, she became an international farm youth exchange delegate in Brazil
AGE: 64. Born Nov. 18, 1945 in Lineboro, Md. OFFICE SOUGHT: U.S. Senate. PARTY: Democrat. HOME: Buies Creek. FAMILY: Two recent husbands died of cancer. Five stepchildren. EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree, University of Maryland, 1968; Law degree, Campbell University, 1981. BUSINESS CAREER: Has worked as a small business owner, school teacher and attorney. POLITICAL CAREER: Served as a state senator from 1993 to 1994; started as secretary of state in 1997, becoming the first woman elected to statewide executive office in North Carolina; unsuccessfully ran in U.S. Senate primary in 2002. QUOTE: “As your North Carolina senator, I will remember where I came from.” Online: http://www.elainemarshall.com/
and got married the next year to a friend she met in the program. She moved to Kinston with her new husband. In North Carolina, Marshall operated a book and gifts store before going to teach home economics in high school and community colleges, then becoming an interior decorator in Dunn. Living in different parts of the state, the marriage began to separate and Marshall turned to law school. Her first
husband, John Capps, said he’s been awed by her desire to serve in both professional in public life. “I’ve been extremely proud of her,” Capps said. “I hold her in awe. She continues to be the extraordinary lady that I first saw when she was serving in 4-H.” It was an interest in the inequities of domestic law that led Marshall to enter Campbell University law school in 1978. She went
on to handle domestic violence cases and helped begin a rape crisis center in Harnett County. She briefly served in the state Senate starting in 1992 but built her profile in 1996 during a campaign for secretary of state against NASCAR legend Richard Petty. She got the job, becoming the first woman in North Carolina to win a statewide executive office. Marshall’s second husband, Sol Marshall, died in 1997 of cancer. Her third husband, Wilson attorney Bill Holdford, died of cancer last year shortly after she entered the race for U.S. Senate. The secretary of state oversees the records for North Carolina businesses, land and lobbyists, among others. Marshall has strengthened the agency’s role as a watch-
dog, pushing for tougher lobbying laws, enforcing financial security laws and more recently launching an investigation into the role of sports agents at UNC. Marshall contends that she has helped recover some $500 million from investment firms. Though Marshall has been praised for her push to stiffen lobbying laws, she’s drawn some criticism this year for taking donations from state lobbyists that she is still regulating. Marshall contended that the lobbyists who gave her money were longtime friends. In Congress, she’d like to see a tax credit for businesses who hire new workers, a halt to free trade deals and to maintain tax cuts for the middle class while allowing taxes to rise for wealthier
2010
Americans. Marshall would also like to start lowering the nation’s debt, in part by ending the war in Afghanistan. Her focus on Wall Street and message about working Americans isn’t new. Running against former investment banker Erskine Bowles for the U.S. Senate in 2002, her theme was “Main Street, Not Wall Street.” Before losing in the Democratic primary, she accused Bowles of supporting “upfront fees, short-term gains and executive perks” and portrayed him as an elitist who is out of touch with the average North Carolina resident. It’s a refrain she’s repackaged for Burr. “Middle America is not being represented,” she said.

Since 1873, a heritage of commitment and involvement

A CAROLINA VIEW
Human rights in China The Nobel Peace Prize’s excellent decision to give this year’s award to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has already had an electrifying effect. China has reacted with outraged fury but the rest of the world, normally so mesmerized by China’s enormous economic clout, has snapped briefly to order. The government of Canada, like many others around the world, quickly praised the award. The international community has for too long been too complacent about the human costs of China’s authoritarian regime and its disdain for basic rights supposedly guaranteed by the country’s constitution. We have all been sharply reminded that there are higher values than cheap manufacturing capacity. Blustering, the Chinese foreign ministry called the award a “desecration” and an “obscenity,” and suggested that it will “harm” Norwegian-Chinese relations. This is the true face of China’s government: bullying, intolerant, obdurate in the face of criticism. The Nobel committee, whose courageous choice does much to atone for its absurd decision last year to award the prize to newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama, obviously hopes that the award to Liu will chip away at Beijing’s inflexibility. An essayist, critic and pro-democracy activist, Liu is his country’s most famous dissident, at least outside the country. Inside China, where the Internet, phone system, and other means of communication are tightly monitored, it is not thought that many people know anything about Liu or his work. But some things can’t be kept secret. Word of mouth will slowly but certainly spread this news across China. ... This year the Peace Prize committee was careful to praise China for lifting millions of its citizens from poverty. Fair enough. But it also rightly reminded the regime that economic success does not replace responsibility to uphold human rights. Montreal (Canada) Gazette
Happy birthday Dot
T
his week I had the privilege of driving over to Monroe, to attend the 90th birthday celebration of Mrs. Dorothy Billingsley Parks, Dot as she is affectionately known. It was quite a party, to honor quite a lady. I got to know Dot in my days as a United Methodist minister back in the mid ‘80’s. I was just finishing my 2nd year at Belmont Abbey College when I was sent to Monroe to pastor Benton Heights and Smyrna United Methodist Churches. Move in day was toward the end of June and I arrived at the parsonage on Kings St. and unloaded everything I owned out of two cars. About the time I finished, another car pulled up in the driveway and the superintendent of the Albemarle District got out. He was not only my bossman, but he was also the boss of 66 other pastors that made up a district that covered Union, Anson, and Cabarrus counties. It seems he was dropping by to tell me I’d been sent to the toughest church in his district, Benton Heights, and to inform me they’d run off every preacher they’d ever had except for two- their first and the one before me and they didn’t like him either. I suppose the D.S. felt honor bound to tell me all this but he was also apparently wise enough to let me get unpacked before he did. With such honesty and wisdom in mind I too was forth coming when I addressed the first meeting of the Benton Heights administrative board. I let them know up front I’d

never been to a seminary unless you counted a Duke football game I attended when I was in the United Methodist Youth and all I knew about pastoral ministry I learned from watching Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider. And if they intended to run me off now would be a good time to do it. But some reason they didn’t and with that we were off and running. Before long, though, I needed a new vehicle to complement my old green Chevrolet Caprice Classic that was about shot, so I bought a Honda Rebel 450 motorcycle, leather saddle bags and all. Then I outfitted myself in leather jacket that had zippers up to the elbows, black cowboy boots, and a shirt like a priest wears to let everybody know I was a man of the cloth. Then I topped that ensemble off with a pair of mirror sunglasses drove up to both churches the next Sunday proclaiming that I was now “Heaven on Wheels”. And for all the trouble those other preachers seemed to have had I got along just fine with both little flocks. Even the Benton Heights crowd and they were as tough as the man said they were. And by all standards Dot Parks was
the toughest one of ‘em all. She would and will set me or anyone else straight on any given subject at hand. And you never have to worry about what Dot thinks about a particular matter because she’ll tell you straight away. And if she has a problem with you, you’ll know it since you’re the first one she’s coming to see. By the time I left the ministry two years later for a career in law enforcement I’m happy to report that we had all gotten along famously. So much so that some 10 years later the Benton Heights folks even asked me back to speak at a homecoming service. And when I told them that I was now a right wing, evangelical, snake handling, Roman Catholic, they said they knew that was going to happen the whole time. So I went and we had a great time. Afterward we were having lunch in the fellowship hall when Dot shared something with me I never knew. She said, “We were scared of you”. I said, “Dot, why in the world were you scared of me”. She said, “Because you carried a gun.” Well, I did, but I didn’t know they knew it. And I had been gone over a decade when they brought it up. I guess between Clint Eastwood, the motorcycle, and my outfit they weren’t so sure I was stable. And didn’t want to chance whether or not I carried dynamite in those saddle bags like Clint did. But the only dynamite I ever found in Monroe is Dot Parks. And at 90 she’s still going strong as ever. Happy birthday Dot, and many happy returns.
Connecting our literary heritage to everything North Carolina
H
ere 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.
D.G. Martin Columnist
*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.” *Cool Beanz Café 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.” *Escape the Daily Grind in Spencer, noted by Poet Janice Moore Fuller for coffee, pastry
and readings by local authors *The “spectacularly retro” What-a-Burger Drive-In in Mooresville, which may be the Dixie Burger in the novels of Judith Minthorn Stacy. *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.” *Cornerstone Café, in Central Falls near Asheboro, noted by poet Barbara Presnell. The building, formerly known as Old Rock Store, is made of quartz stones. *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.” *Tate Street Coffee House in Greensboro, owned by writer Ann Fitzmaurice Russ and husband Matt. *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 freshsqueezed orangeade and pimiento cheese or chicken salad sandwiches at lunchtime.” *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.” *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.” *College Bar-B-Que DriveIn in Salisbury, a favorite of John Hart, and, according to Eubanks, an “unnamed site” in Hart’s “The King of Lies.” *Blue Mist Barbecue in Randleman, a hangout for Holly George-Warren, a writer about music and former editor of Rolling Stone Press. *Lexington Barbecue, recommended by Jack Riggs, author of “When the Finch Rises” set in a fictional town called Ellenton, but obviously really Lexington. *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.”

Downtown Monroe was filled with activities Saturday.
ATHLETES Continued from Page 1A “Everything was riding on my senior year,” Cheryl said. “I had no idea what to expect in college.” She would have been less “apprehensive” if she had the resources presented at the summit, she said, like time management advice, how to market herself and polish her game. Nutrition facts “I never realized ... how much you need in your body to stay healthy,” Bailey said. She now watches her portions, eats protein or works out for an energy boost and drinks lots of water. “If you want your kids to eat fruit and vegetables, you have to do it yourself,” Keith said. “You can’t have a bag of chips, ... then tell your child, ‘You gotta eat that apple.’” Getting enough protein before and after a game also helps an athlete focus, Ringersen said. No injuries here “There’s a glaring need to help the female athlete because their training needs are different,” Alan Tyson, owner of Architech Sports, said. Tyson, who lives in Waxhaw, organized the summit and works as a sports physical therapist. Women are five times more likely to suffer knee injuries, he said, because their wider hips put more stress on the knees and they move differently than men. Athletes can combat injuries by doing balance drills and prac-
ticing certain jumps. Some coaches have less experience in a sport than others, Ringersen said, and soliciting advice from professionals gives athletes detailed ways to improve their game. That advice could help them avoid serious injuries. Ringersen has heard people say that women don’t work as hard in their sports or that softball is easier than baseball, but she assures that women put in just as much time and dedication and play just as hard. A mental picture “So much of being an athlete and so much of being a success ... is mental,” Keith said. It’s vital, he said, for an athlete to be mentally prepared for the journey from teenager to college athlete to pro player, if that’s the ultimate goal. “Confidence seems to be a huge issue with athletes across the board,” sports psychologist Erik Dunlap said. An athlete might take one bad shot as proof that she is a bad player, he said, when that’s not the case at all. Dunlap encourages athletes to be more optimistic in the way they view themselves. As for differences between men and women, he said, many women take feedback differently and are more likely to play team sports. They also have “a greater tendency to want to make friends.” “The need to belong to a group sometimes is higher than the need to make sacrifices and achieve,” he said, which could hold them back from leadership roles if that’s what

they want. Dreams become reality by setting smaller, concrete goals, he said. Ringersen points to another difference. “Men are more physically aggressive. Girls are more mentally aggressive,” she said. Play nice What’s the hardest part of being a female athlete? Balancing sports with friends, Bailey said; “dedication is a big part.” Ringersen, who is also involved in theater and plays for the Palmetto Sting, agrees, saying such a busy schedule can be taxing. Managing time and striving to meet goals can help strike that balance, Dunlap said. It’s also smart to look for scholarships early on in an athlete’s high school career, Tyson said. More scholarships are available now, and students should be proactive in applying for them and seeking exposure from recruiters. But it’s not just paperwork or how she passes the ball. “Being athletic is one thing,” Keith said, but athletes also need “a good head on their shoulders.” The summit “made me realize how much I care about basketball and how much I want it to be part of my future,” Bailey said. “It takes a lot of hard work.”

‘If established plants, shrubs, trees are dying, it is BAD!’
G
eorge, our youngest feline often reminds us of a windup toy. Before batteries powered everything known to a child, there were windup toys. By turning a small handle, a spring was compressed. When the toy was activated, it ran very fast at the beginning. As the spring relaxed, it become slower and slower. Finally, it stopped totally. At times George acts like his “spring” is wound as tight as possible. He goes 15 feet up a tree, then back down and on to the next tree. Until his motor wears down, George is here, there and everywhere. Today’s column is much like that. It will be here, there and everywhere. Here, in this part of the county, a drought has taken a good grip on all plants. I do not really care how they label it, as they are prone to do according to its severity. In our community, it has done about as much damage as I have seen in a long time. I say that because fescue grass burned to a crisp several weeks ago. It is rare that weedy grasses that I call volunteer grass will shrivel. It has also dried up. I am also comparing plant deaths to the summer of 2007, when it was extremely difficult to grow anything, let alone keep it alive. The discouraging thing is for several weeks, daytime temperatures have been at least 10 degrees above normal. Of course, a lot of people have

lost plants due to the lack of rainfall. In this case, misery does not like company. I have noticed one thing that concerns me. If you have liriopes around your home, you know it is a very tough plant. Although most people refer to it as monkey grass, it is not really a true grass. Its root system allows it to store water and thus it will even live dug out of the soil for a certain period. We use liriopes extensively as an edging plant. The part that concerns me is that a number of these plants that border our driveway are dying from lack of water. Sure, it may live in tough times, even out of the ground for a short period. It will not though, live indefinitely without rainfall. The other thing that bothers me is the stress these conditions are putting on our large, old and valuable trees in the county. A number of trees died due to the drought stress in 2007. The ones that just managed to get by are the ones I am afraid could succumb to the stress they are encountering now. I do not care what label a meteo-
rologist puts on our area. If established plants, shrubs and trees are dying, it is BAD! I do not consider myself unlearned or untravelled. I have been educated. We have a library area full of books in our home. We have traveled to a number of countries. I am a child of the media. I love to read books, magazines and newspapers. Television came of age about the time I was a toddler. I have also listened to the radio for hundreds and hundreds of hours. Yet, when my wife and I were invited to be guests of the local gardening show, it was a first. In past years, when the subject was broached, I was always too busy. I am glad to say this two-hour period was considered a priority this time. I will also say we enjoyed the experience. We got an up-close and personal look at just how structured the time is on a radio broadcast. This “Successful Gardener” radio show requires a lot of planning. First, all the commercials that help underwrite the program must be ready, with an exact time that they will run. An experienced person must run the equipment precisely. All the segments of the show are divided on a computer. This keeps the program running smoothly and on time. Of course, you need a host that can carry on an informative conversation and answer questions. Jeff Rieves, Union
County Cooperative Extension Agent, fills that job nicely. The only reservation I have is the introduction to the program. At the beginning, a melodious voice declares him to be “the sweetest thing going on in your garden”! Okay…He probably pays her to say that. All jokes aside, if you have not tuned in on Saturdays 8-10 am, you are missing an informative program. It is broadcast from Monroe’s WIXE radio station. You can find it at 1190 AM on the radio dial. You can call in your questions at 704-283-1190. By the way, on Oct.9 I was guest host. Lauren Schexnider and Dave Gazjuk, fellow Master Gardeners made the program run smoothly. They also made me appear much smarter than I am. I have agreed to assist on the radio program monthly. Thanks for the calls! The last item I want to mention concerns Union County Urban Forester, David Grant. In other words, David is a “tree man”. Trees are his business. I have always said that my two weakest areas are trees and wildflowers. I saved my questions about tree problems until I had four of them and then discussed them with David. Thankfully, I was right on target with my answers to three of them. The last one had me stumped, but not David. He gave me a really good rule that has stuck with me. It would be a really good rule for every gardener to remember. It was
“When you have a problem with a plant, and you cannot determine a cause…it will be something you cannot see”. As well as handling homeowner tree problems, David works tirelessly and closely with urban municipalities. There are many trees that help make Southern towns something very special. Imagine towns with just bricks, concrete and asphalt and you get the idea. He helps Union County towns to select new trees as well as care for existing trees. After being a nominee, David Grant has won an award for “Outstanding Professional”. The award was designed to recognize an urban forestry individual who has made outstanding contributions in that field. He has done that and more. I am just grateful that we have someone with that knowledge and dedication I can call on at any time. The trees in our county are grateful too. Congratulations to David Grant for being the “Outstanding Professional in Urban Forestry”. He is a credit to his profession and to Union County. Okay, in closing I have been thinking about something. Jeff Rieves has been called “The sweetest thing going on in your garden”. David Grant is 2010’s “Outstanding Professional”. That just leaves me. And, like the cheese in “The Farmer in the Dell”, I guess I just stand alone!
It is true: Autumn is the best time for planting By David Bare
gin to enter a period of dormancy. Transpiration, the process where plants lose water through their leaves, is much less of an issue with fall planting than with plants trying to establish in the spring. You could think of transpiration much like perspiration in humans, with many of the same factors — heat, humidity and bright sunlight — contributing to the rate of occurrence. With transpiration reduced, all that energy can go to root development. Well-established roots make all the difference in a plant’s health in the following growing season. A plant established in the autumn is better able to withstand drought and
Media General News Service We see it in ads all the time: “Fall is for planting.” But is it true or is this just a marketing ploy to get consumers to buy plantrelated products in the cool season? In most of the country, autumn is the superior planting season. Cool weather and optimum soil temperatures are perfect for the establishment of roots — the essential task in any planting. Desiccation is the cause of most plant loss, and an established root system is the first line of defense. In the autumn, trees, shrubs and perennial plants be-

do beautifully in the spring after spending a winter in our cool soil. These are flowers that we see planted in great sweeps along the highways. Two periods are best for establishing fescue lawns: a few weeks in September and to a lesser extent a window between mid-February and early March. The goal is to get roots established while soil temperature and moisture are optimum. But this is a huge mistake. Autumn is the best time for gardening here. Whether you are a vegetable gardener or a lawn lover, the temperatures are fine, the humidity is down and usually the soil is moist and easier to work. It’s true: Fall is for planting.

Tulips, daffodils and other spring bulbs need to experience a chilling period to flower, usually 10 to 16 weeks where the soil temperature stays at least in the low 40s. Some plants are just acclimated to succeed in cooler temperatures. They may be spring planted in the north, but down here they do best planted in the fall.

Porter Ridge’s Brandi Hunter, left, and Avery Gardner attempt to block a spike during Monday’s win.
CHICAGO (AP) — Dwyane Wade returned to the witness stand Monday, pledging to be a committed parent if he is awarded custody of his two young sons. The Miami Heat star spent more than 2 1/2 hours testifying Monday. He and his ex-wife, Siovaughn, are embroiled in a custody dispute for the boys, ages 8 and 3. Wade said he would be willing to arrange equitable visitation rights for his ex-wife. And he expressed regret for not seeking earlier intervention that might have headed off trouble in the marriage. “I take a lot of responsibility,” he said. “I would have taken it a different way. I would have (sought) professional help ... I feel that I could have (done) it in a professional way, get professional help, get family therapy.” Wade described a stormy relationship with his ex-wife and claimed that Siovaughn Wade denied visitation with their children. He described one scheduled visitation last March when he could not reach his wife or children for a prearranged pickup. “I had no knowledge where my kids were and I got very afraid,” he testified. “I thought she took them away and hurt herself and possibly them ... I immediately thought the worst.”
Oldja contributing to dominant defense
INDIAN TRAIL — In addition to returning a fumble 39 yards for a touchdown in Porter Ridge High’s 35-0 home win over Parkwood last Friday, junior defensive end Justin Oldja also had two sacks.

Senior defensive end Aaron Johnson also had two sacks against Parkwood, giving him a Union County-best nine for the season. Johnson also contributed eight tackles, and his 56 tackles (7.0 per game) ranks second on the team. Senior linebacker Zach Bevington had his second interception of the season against the Rebels. Senior Jon Bryant had seven tackles and now has a team-high 60 in 2010. Porter Ridge (8-0) is allowing a UC-low 7.0 points per game. PR’s defense has 14 interceptions and 25 sacks in ‘10.

Panthers will start Moore again at quarterback 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 Caro-
lina’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 report-
ers 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.”

Tar Heels’ Reddick focusing on football CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Kevin Reddick is still putting his life back together after an apartment fire this summer destroyed nearly everything he owned. But the resilient North Carolina linebacker isn’t sulking. He said he is thankful to be alive and playing college football for the Tar Heels. “It was tough in the beginning,” the sophomore said Monday. “But as the season got going and training camp, I realized ... everybody got recruited for a reason and I guess coach (Butch) Davis recruited me for a reason. You’ve got to come in and play and step up just like those guys.” Heading into this weekend’s game at No. 25 Miami, Reddick is growing up on the field while playing between a pair of NFL prospects in Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant. Reddick is second on the team in tackles and is coming off a nine-stop performance in a weekend win at Virginia, which included a 22-yard inter-
ception return for a touchdown local nonprofit — Quest Minisin the blowout victory that tries of Chapel Hill — to raise ended a 14-game losing streak money for Reddick’s losses because he didn’t have renter’s in Charlottesville. Every play helps Reddick, 20, insurance. Williams said the heal a little more from what has school talked with Reddick to been a painful few months since inventory as many lost possessions as he could remember, that July afternoon. Among the most personal then looked up items online to compile the cost. items lost: Numerous “I think that (the pictures of his 1-yearfund) alleviated a little old daughter, Kamalani, bit of some of the fears, who does not live with because most college him in Chapel Hill, and kids don’t have anya state championship thing anyhow,” coach ring from high school. Butch Davis said. “It’s “He’s been holding up a bunch of T-shirts, and very well,” said Andre’ shorts and tennis shoes Williams, the team’s and a letter jacket. But director of student-ath- REDDICK to them, it’s their whole lete development. “I can world.” only imagine the stress Williams said they’re hoping a young guy like Kevin could be undergoing through a situation to raise $10,000. Currently, the like that. One minute, every- fund has raised between $1,500 thing seems to be OK. The next and $2,000.

derstands if he gets any funds or money from anybody, that’s a blessing in itself.” Reddick said he had just gotten out of the shower and ordered a pizza when he noticed flames through the window that afternoon. He threw on some shorts, put on some shoes and grabbed his cell phone on the way out the door. The fire didn’t seem big, so he figured he’d return shortly after firefighters extinguished the flames. Instead, the fire spread quickly as Reddick watched from the distance. “’I can’t believe this is happening. All my stuff is in there,”’ Reddick said, recalling his thoughts. “That’s what I was saying: What am I going to do?” The fire, which began above the third-floor apartment shared by Reddick and defensive end Michael McAdoo, displaced 22 people, though no one was hurt. Reddick said McAdoo — who is unavailable for comment due to his connection with the ongoing NCAA inves-
tigation into the program — had left a short time before the fire began. McAdoo had renter’s insurance and therefore wasn’t included in the charity fund. “At the time it was happening, I didn’t think nothing of it,” Reddick said. “(McAdoo) asked why I didn’t grab nothing. I mean, it’s a fire. That’s all you think about. When you see a fire, you’re thinking about getting out. ... I just figured we’d be able to go back later and get some things, but I guess it led to bigger things.” Reddick spent about a week in a hotel after the fire, then headed home to New Bern to visit family before returning to Chapel Hill for training camp. He has moved into another apartment in the same complex — with renter’s insurance. He’s replaced some of the lost pictures of his daughter and taken plenty of new ones. He hopes to get another high school state championship ring after the season.
UC’s 2010 Scoring Leaders (Through Week 9; minimum 20 points)
E-J staff photo by Ed Cottingham
Porter Ridge junior receiver Jordan Oakley (right) caught three touchdown passes in Friday’s win over Parkwood. Oakley leads UC with 12 receiving scores.
Score Continued from Page 1B first time on Friday, including junior receiver Chris Newsome and junior tackle Justin Oldja. Newsome made the most of his first catch this season, scoring from nine yards out. Oldja returned a fumble 39 yards for a score in the 35-0 victory. Forest Hills senior linebacker Aaron Sigmon caught an 11-yard TD pass from freshman QB Jared Lee in the third quarter last week’s win over North Stanly for his first score of the year. Sigmon has been a first-team allcounty LB the last two seasons, totaling 282 stops during his sophomore and junior years.
Crowder pads lead
Monroe senior Jamison Crowder, who leads UC in scoring with 94 points, maintained his advantage by rushing for two touchdowns in last Friday. Crowder, who has committed to Duke University, has 16 touchdowns in eight games — including eight rushing, five receiving and one each
Moore Continued from Page 1B What Moore saw wasn’t pretty — perhaps uglier than his own performance in the first two games. Clausen, a secondround 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 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
on a kickoff, interception and fumble return. Crowder led UC with 10 receiving TDs as a junior in 2009. Porter Ridge’s Oakley moved up to second in the county in scoring with 84 points after his three touchdowns on Friday. Piedmont senior tailback Jacob Oakley is third with 78 points, followed by a three-way tie for fourth between Piedmont junior quarterback Ross Rushing, Porter Ridge senior tailback Javonte Truesdale and Sun Valley junior tailback Jadarrius Williams, who all have 72 points.
Odds and ends ...
... Piedmont senior kicker Jade Montgomery connected on her fourth field goal of the year on Friday, tying Porter Ridge sophomore Matt Wogan for the second-most in UC. Cuthbertson senior Adam Lutz leads the county with five field goals. ... Monroe senior quarterback Jalen Sowell has a county-high four twopoint conversions this season. ... Three different QBs in UC have at least six rushing scores this season, including Piedmont’s Rushing (12), Forest Hills freshman Jared Lee (eight) and Marvin Ridge junior Tyler Chadwick (six).
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-andshort and third-and-reasonable. We’ve been in third-and-long way too much this year.” Clausen, who has looked uncomfortable in the pocket, wasn’t made available to report-

ers on Monday. Fox last week dismissed talk that Clausen’s confidence could be shaken if he continued to struggle and the Panthers, off to their worst start in 12 years, continued to lose. “We didn’t win the first two games that I played and a change was made,” Moore said. “We haven’t won the past three games and a change was made. That’s the way this business works.” It’s uncertain how many options Moore will have against San Francisco with Smith trying to recover from a high ankle sprain. Carolina’s depth chart after Smith includes three rookies and two recent waiver claims. “I think we can be more precise with our routes,” said rookie receiver David Gettis. “Just making plays, catching every single pass that comes our way and being that threat so we can also loosen up the run game.” The next game will perhaps provide Carolina’s best chance to win in a while. The 49ers’ sloppy 17-9 victory over Oakland Sunday left only Carolina and Buffalo (0-5) in the NFL’s winless club. “We’re trying to find something that works,” Moore said. “If this is what it takes, this is what it takes. We’re hoping to find a spark and hopefully we can do that.”
