T HE VOTES ARE IN Warren still wins; Coates to seek recount

More charges in E. Spencer break-ins BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

karissa minn/SALISBURY POST

Harry Warren, center, looks up the party afﬁliation of voters Monday who requested absentee ballots. Helping him is Donna Peeler, left, vice chairwoman of the Rowan County Republican Party; and N.C. Rep. Julia Howard, right, who represents parts of Davie and Iredell counties. B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com

After elections officials tallied absentee and provisional ballots Monday, Harry Warren still led N.C. Rep. Lorene Coates for District 77 by 158 votes. That’s 11 fewer than Warren’s lead last Tuesday, and still within the 1 percent margin that allows for a recount. He would have needed to add about a dozen to his lead to avoid the possibility of recount. a COATES The Rowan County Board of Elections counted 20 absentee and 126 provisional ballots. Sixty-nine of those ballots included votes in the 77th N.C. House District. The new totals are 9,116 votes for

Warren, a Republican, and 8,958 for Coates, a Democrat. As officials counted the votes at the elections office Monday, Warren waited in anticipation with his wife Catherine, local Republican party leaders and a few state legislators. They hoped to hear that Warren had gained enough votes needed to escape a recount. When the results were read, some offered enthusiastic congratulations to Warren — still the unofficial winner. But the collective breath they’d been holding didn’t yet turn into a sigh of relief. “We’re pleased this phase of the process is complete,” Warren said. “We are disappointed that it’s not a more decisive outcome, though.” He said he’s ready for the election process to be over so he can get to work addressing issues in the State House.

Earlier in the afternoon, Warren laughed as he told Rowan County Republican Party Chair Greg Edds, “it’s never the easy way with me.” Also in attendance for the count were N.C. Reps. Fred Steen and Julia Howard, N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock and attorneys for both Warren and Coates. Coates restated Monday that she plans to call for a recount after the results are certified Friday, even though she doesn’t think it will change the results. “I think whether it was him or me, either one of us would call for recount,” Coates said. County Elections Director Nancy Evans said Coates has until 5 p.m. on Nov. 15 to make an official request. Contact Karissa Minn at 704-7974222.

Republicans charge into majority

EAST SPENCER — Four people arrested over the weekend on allegations that they were involved in a string of East Spencer break-ins now face additional charges. And police say they expect more arrests. So far, authorities have charged Reginald “Ghost” Petion, Carlito “Galla” Garcia, Charles “Bam” Johnson, and Treasure Gwyn in the break-ins, which began in mid-October. East Spencer police arrested Johnson, 23, of Salisbury, and Gwyn, 24, of East Spencer, on Friday and charged them with felony breaking, entering and larceny and PETION felony breaking and entering. Those arrests came after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police charged Petion, 22, and Garcia, 18, with breaking into the home of a couple in Mecklenburg County. Both men were suspects in the East Spencer break-in ring, said Floyd Baldo, East Spencer’s police chief. On Monday, Baldo said investigators charged all four with conGARCIA spiracy to breaking, entering and larceny after police learned stolen goods were being taken to Gwyn’s residence at 200 Grant St., Apartment 79, where the goods were loaded it into cars and taken as far as Charlotte to sell. In addition, Garcia has been charged with two more counts of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, safe JOHNSON cracking and damage to property. Authorities used the new charges to increase bond amounts for the suspects, who all remained jailed Monday. Garcia and Petion were in the Mecklenburg County jail. Garcia’s bond now stands at $67,500. Petion is under $50,000 bond. Johnson and Gwyn, who remained in the Rowan County jail, GWYN are under bonds of $7,500 and $2,500. Baldo said investigators believe at least three more people are involved in the breaking and entering ring, but police know them only by nicknames and are having trouble identifying them. Baldo said the suspects broke into the homes through rear or kitchen windows and left through doors. The break-ins usually happened during daylight hours, he said. Baldo said the break-in ring has also targeted homes in the Martin Luther King Jr. Drive area of Salisbury and in Charlotte. The investigation, Baldo said, is “ever-evolving,” and he expects more arrests. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

Local legislators say they look forward to finally trying some new ideas as Republicans lead the General Assembly for the first time since 1898. “After waiting 112 years, we’re chomping at the bit,” said N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties in Raleigh. The GOP soon will be the majority party in both chambers of the North Carolina legislature, with at least 30 seats in the Senate and 66 in the House. These

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

majorities will allow the party to more easily pass the bills it generates and control the redistricting process. Brock and N.C. Rep. Fred Steen both said the party’s first priority when the legislature reconvenes in January will be working on the budget. The General Assembly must contend with an estimated $2 billion to $4 billion shortfall next year. “Doing that without tax increases is a tough challenge, but we’re committed to doing that,” Steen said. “We have heard from the people of North Carolina that that is critical.”

SPENCER — Authorities said Monday the cause of the Friday-morning fire that destroyed a 110year-old house at 119 Sixth St. may not be known for some time. The Spencer Police Department and Rowan County Fire Marshall’s Office are investigating. N.C. SBI agents helped with the investigation Friday until 6:30 p.m. using a dog trained to sniff out accelerants — substances that can be used to make a fire burn faster. Fire Investigator Aaron Youngblood said the dog detected accelerants, but since the home’s new owners have been extensively remodeling, chemicals including paint thinner sat inside the home when the fire occurred. Because of that, Youngblood said, it would be “hard to figure out what the dog picked up on.” Investigators also found older wiring and new wiring in the 1900 home. “We can’t rule out electrical, either,” Youngblood said. “We haven’t ruled out an accidental fire.” Until information comes back from the lab, he said, investigators won’t know what caused the fire. James Keck, of 6898 Shade Tree Lane, Sherills Ford, bought the home within the past few weeks, Youngblood said. Rowan County records still list Jackie and Kathy Webb, of Sherills Ford Road, as

He said state residents may even see their taxes go down if a sales tax increase is allowed to expire. Brock said cuts could be found by looking at every expense line-by-line. “We have a lot of programs that need to be right-sized programs and departments that can be combined,” Brock said. He said Republicans have the “fiscal discipline to implement those measures.”

Economy Jobs and economic recovery also are high on the GOP priority list, and both Steen and Brock advocate low taxes for businesses to encourage job growth in North Carolina. “Hopefully, our policies will help create an environment that the business community is comfortable with, and we’ll see recovery in the economy,” Steen said. He said Harry Warren, who is set to replace Democratic incumbent Lorene Coates pending a likely recount in the close 77th N.C. House election, will be valuable to the House because of his business experience at Tar Heel Capital Corp.

The GOP’s new majority also will give its legislators a chance to pass bills that have previously failed or died in committee. Steen and Brock both said they plan to push for legislation to end forced annexation. Brock also would like to work on the N.C. Department of Transportation’s equity formula, which determines how much transportation funding each district receives. Also, he has previously sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, and he said the issue would likely come up again. Some of these bills may take a while to work their way through committees, Brock said, especially when the budget is the first priority. “It’s like when you’re cooking big meal for Thanksgiving,” he said. “You don’t cook on one burner at time; you make a lot of things at once.” Steen said he hopes to take a look at some “second amendment bills” and legislation that would restrict the ability of illegal immigrants to get drivers licenses.

Redistricting is another major task the legislature will face in the upcoming session. Using population data from the 2010 Census, legislators will redraw House, Senate and congressional districts. Brock said if he is on the redistricting committee, he will focus on fairness, not simply carving out districts to his party’s political advantage. He said the GOP majority will closely follow the state constitution and federal restrictions, including one that requires a certain number of minority districts. “We have not been given a fair shake (by the Democrats) — we were put on the back row and told to be quiet,” Brock said. “We want to say, ‘We're not going to treat you like you treated us.’ ” Steen agreed, saying the process likely will affect districts where some people feel the boundaries were drawn unfairly, including U.S. House District 12 — or the “I85 district” — where Democrat Mel Watt continues to win handily.

Brock said he does not think this has to impact the quality of students’ education. “The Republican view is that we fund the classroom first,” he said. “We may cut some upper-level positions that never see the classroom.” Steen also said education should be funded from the bottom up. He said legislators should look carefully at what is and isn’t working in the schools — especially higher education — and “trim the fat” when possible. “I do think public education is one of the best economic development tools we have,” Steen said.

Rifle bullet punches through hotel wall Shooting determined to be accidental A man in town for a statewide shooting event accidentally fired a shot through his hotel room wall and into the room next door, police said. The neighboring room was rented, but it was not occupied at the time. Leo Daniel Rusk, 69, of

Greenville, S.C., was in Salisbury for the Single Action Shooting Society’s North Carolina State Cowboy Shoot that was held at the Rowan County Wildlife Association. He was cleaning his .357 Magnum rifle in his room at the Holiday Inn, 530 S. Jake Alexander Blvd., shortly after midnight Friday, a Salisbury Police Department report said. Thinking that the rifle was unloaded, Rusk pulled the trigger, fir-

ing the round that went through the wall. Police officers called to investigate found the bullet in the closet of the room next door to Rusk’s. The round also pierced a reflective construction jacket hanging in that room. The man renting that room was in town for work, but he was out when the shot was fired. The bullet also damaged a mirror in Rusk’s room.

Police said Rusk readily admitted to accidentally firing the shot and had already paid his neighbor for the damage to his belongings. Hotel management told police they were sure Rusk would settle up with them, also. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said no charges would be filed against Rusk. “This situation appears to be no willful intent to commit this act,” Collins said.

KANNAPOLIS — The push for curbside recycling in Kannapolis is getting stronger, local officials say. And plans to put recycling bins and biweekly curbside pickup in place could come to pass by summer. The Kannapolis City Council will consider a proposed recycling plan at its Nov. 22 business meeting. The plan that city staff presented Monday provides for the purchase of 96-gallon recycling bins that are almost identical to those used for trash, only with bright yellow lids to tell them apart. Each household would get a recycling bin. The plan also includes the cost of collecting and sorting recycled goods, which would then be sold to offset some of the program’s cost. Also planned are an extensive marketing campaign to promote recycling and a contingency fund to replace lost or damaged bins. The cost to residents would be $3.20 per month, billed as a user fee. The recycling fee would be mandatory, City Manager Mike Legg said. At the moment, the only option for residents who want to recycle is to haul their goods to one of two collection points — 1313 Cannon Blvd. or 614 W. 8th St. Monday, Public Works Director Wilmer Melton and representatives from Waste Management Inc., which collects the city’s garbage, presented their tentative plan. The “single-stream” recycling method means that residents wouldn’t have to sort and separate, but could put all recyclable items into one bin. Recycling would be picked up every other week on the same day as

Library’s historical artifacts need new home BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

A family’s quick thinking minimized damage from a house fire on Monday, fire officials said. The cause of the fire at 1222 N. Church St. remained undetermined Monday afternoon. Investigators say it started near a hot water heater in a utility room at the rear of the home. The fire did not spread into the rest of the house because someone closed the door to the utility room. “The family did an excellent job,” Salisbury Fire Capt. Brad White said. “When they came out, they closed that door. Had

they not, the fire had the potential to spread to the kitchen area.” Firefighters called in a Salisbury Police Department interpreter to help them communicate with the family, who speaks Spanish. According to Rowan County records, the home belongs to Yakin Espinoza. Firefighters with Salisbury and Ellis Cross Country fire departments, along with the Rowan Rescue Squad, responded to the fire around 1:40 p.m. Salisbury Chief Bob Parnell said crews controlled the fire quickly.

KANNAPOLIS — After 18 years, the Kannapolis branch of the Cabarrus County Public Library is closing the book on its history room. That decision comes after budget cuts and calls for more space for programs at the local library, Cabarrus County Library Director Dana Eure said. The Kannapolis History Associates, a local group dedicated to preserving the artifacts and records of the former mill town, will receive those books and records that the county doesn’t decide to keep. The only problem, according to members, is that they’ve got no place to put them. “At the moment, there is nowhere,” said Larry Hayer, a former history room staffer and Kannapolis History Associates board member.

Two face charges in tractor theft BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

ROCKWELL — Authorities say two men admitted stealing a tractor and other property from their cousin.

Sheriff’s Capt. Joseph Jones said Monday the boy was bitten on his neck, stomach and legs while he was playing in his yard where several of the dogs were running free Saturday. Police have quarantined five pit bulls at the Haywood County animal shelter and they likely will be killed. Jones said the family kept the dogs as pets and were not breeding them. The boy’s grandmother told investigators she had been trying to give the dogs away. Jones says no charges have been filed. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported that a deputy shot one dog at the scene.

School official’s daughter hit by car RALEIGH (AP) — An assistant principal whose 14year-old daughter was hit by a vehicle as she crossed the street to her Raleigh high school says he’s unsure what to do to make more motorists slow down. Steven Miller talked Monday to the North Carolina Child Fatality Task Force about how his daughter, Phoebe, suffered a broken leg and facial injuries when she was struck by a Jeep driven by another student in front of Athens Drive High School in February. Child pedestrian death rates are down in North Carolina and nationwide. But a study from Safe Kids USA showed one of every six drivers in school zones is distracted.

Jury unable to reach decision in case NEWTON (AP) — The Florida man who killed a North Carolina state trooper will get life in prison after a jury could not reach a decision about his punishment. Judge Nathaniel Poovey imposed a sentence of life in prison without parole Monday for Edwardo Wong Jr. of Ormond Beach, Fla. After three days of deliberation, jurors said they couldn’t reach consensus on whether Wong should be given the death penalty, as prosecutors wanted. Wong was convicted of killing Highway Patrol Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 in Canton in 2008.

Lottery win boosts business A Salisbury man calls his nearly $132,000 lottery prize a “miracle” that will help his painting business. Jerry Flowers bought his Carolina Cash 5 ticket at a store in Gastonia, a N.C. Education Lottery press release said. He played the same numbers he’s been using for FLOWERS two years, a combination of birthdays of three great-nephews, a niece and his brother. His was the only winning combination in the Friday Cash 5 drawing. Flowers learned of his win Saturday while traveling with his brother, Kelly, on a fishing trip to the Outer Banks. Kelly called the state lottery hotline and yelled “Your numbers hit!” as Jerry tried to keep control of the vehicle,

POLICY FROM 3a I and U.S. history before graduating. End-of-Course tests will still count as 25 percent of a student’s final grade. The school system will also continue to require completion of a senior project, which includes a research paper, trifold display and a technology component in order to receive a diploma. Principals will consider classroom performance, academic progresss, state test results and attendance when making decisions about student retention. Debra Morris, assistant superintendent, and Janet Jenkins, director of student assessment, met with principals to receive their input prior to the proposed revision of the policy. The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education has yet to discuss updating its policies for promotion. Colby Cochran, the school system’s director of assessments and accountability, told the Post last month that he expected the topic to be discussed during the October meeting. The Kannapolis school board also approved the first reading of new policies for registered sex offenders and student sex offenders Monday. “Most school districts have sex offender policies, but we don’t,” Ellen Boyd, director of community relations, said.

LIBRARY FROM 3a Monday night was dedicated to finding an answer to the question of when the move would take place, and what the county would hold onto. Eure and Kannapolis branch library manager Terry Prather attended the meeting. In February, Eure said, budget cuts forced her to let go of 24 part-time staff. Hayer was one of those staff members. But he said he doesn’t hold a grudge against the county, especially when it is giving the Kannapolis History Associates textile artifacts, photos and other records that it could otherwise keep. The collection includes records from the Cannon Mills publicity department, along with many other records, photos and memorabilia from the textile mill around which Kannapolis was formed. “The fact is, the Kannapolis branch library has been

the press release said. “Man, it’s unexplainable,” Flowers said of the moment he realized he’d won. “I was wanting to scream. I was in disbelief. Tears were coming into my eyes. Tears of joy.” Flowers plans to use his winnings, worth $89,659 after taxes, to buy a van for his business, Power of Painting, and get some new equipment, the press release said. He also hopes to buy some land and a trailer and help some family members with needs they have. The state lottery also announced Monday that a Moore County man became the first to win the top prize playing the new “$500,000 Jingle Jackpot” game. Billy Cagle, a mechanic in Jackson Springs, will get $340,003 after taxes, the press release said. The Jingle Jackpot game has three more $500,000 prizes.

In other business Kannapolis City Board of Education also dealt with these issues: • Will Crabtree, director of business operation, gave an update on the construction of the A.L. Brown High School Biotechnology Academy. The facility, set to be complete in 2011, now has almost all of its windows installed and a roof in place. “It’s really starting to look good,” he said. Crabtree said the school’s science teachers will take a tour of the facility in a weeks to gauge how much space will be available when they start teaching classes such as genetics and biotechnology, physics and oceanography. • Janet Jenkins, Director of student assessment, gave a presentation of the school system test scores. All but two schools in the district met Adequate Yearly Progress last school year and every school is considered a “School of Progress” under ABC accountability standards. • Approved a contract for McCannon, Rogers, Driscoll & Associates to conduct the school system’s audit. The cost of the audit is about $33,000. Crabtree said the firm has audited the district’s financial statements for the past several years and he has been happy with the firm’s prompt audit.

“We’re just trying to make sure our policy manual is complete.” The proposed policy calls for all registered sex offenders are banned from school property including athletic fields, playgrounds, parking lots and buses. The only exception is for students, voters and parents or guardians. Student sex offenders fall under the same guidelines as registered sex offenders and cannot be on school grounds except for the purpose of educational services. They must also comply with the requirement to be supervised by school personnel at all times. Registered sex offenders on school grounds to vote must notify the principal be-

fore Election Day, stay only in the portion of the building being used as a polling place and leave immediately after voting. Parents or guardians who are registered sex offenders may only be on school property to attend a scheduled conference or at the request of the principal for any reason relating to welfare of transportation of their child. The Kannapolis school board will consider adopting the policies after a second reading during the next meeting set for Dec. 13. The board meets at 5 p.m. the second Monday of each month at the administrative offices, 100 Denver St. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

trying to get a meeting room for years,” Hayer said of the branch where he worked for eight years. At present, programs for children and the community require the library’s staff to rearrange the furniture and put out seats among the library’s bookstacks. This causes inconvenience for other library patrons, Eure said. There’s no funding available to add event or meeting space at the library. The solution: Take the history room, which has only been open limited hours in recent months due to budget cuts, and turn it into space for programs and meetings. “Kannapolis will still have local history materials,” Eure said. Patrons would still have access to genealogical data. And Eure said that upcoming renovations will expand the history room at the library’s main branch in Concord. Those renovations are the reason for starting discussions now, Eure said. “It’ll take us a few months to decide

who gets what.” Phil Goodman, president of the Kannapolis History Associates, could not be reached for comment Monday night. But past president and local historian Norris Dearmon, who helped found the Kannapolis History Associates and the history room’s collections, expressed sadness at the decision. “All of our effort and money spent has gone for naught,” Dearmon said. Starting in 1992, Dearmon said, he helped collect materials from Cannon Mills and successor companies Fieldcrest Cannon and Pillowtex. The question now becomes how to store and give the public access to decades of historical documents, including photos and records from Cannon Mills. The deadline for the move, according to Dearmon and Eure, is March 1 — possibly later, if renovations at the main branch in Concord take longer than expected.

RECYCLE

In other business before the Kannapolis City Council: • Council members held a required public hearing for the city’s plan to finance up to $36.5 million in infrastructure improvements via Certificates of Participation, commonly known as COPS. No one spoke for or against the plan at the hearing. The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners will take up the COPS proposal on Nov. 15. If approved, the city would agree to devote $10 million to building a Cabarrus Health Alliance facility, which Kannapolis would hold as collateral until the debt was repaid. Starting in 2013, Cabarrus County would put one-half of property taxes collected on a special downtown district around the N.C. Research Campus toward repayment of the debt. The remainder would fund public works projects related to the downtown Research Campus. • The City Council voted unanimously to amend its solid waste disposal plan to reflect recent changes to laws which allow the state to require companies to contribute to the cost of disposing of electronic goods, such as televisions, printers and computer monitors. City Manager Mike Legg said the change was needed in order to receive funds from the state as part of the new plan, under which such electronic items will be banned from disposal in landfills. There is no cost to the city associated with the measure, Legg said.

FIRE FROM 1a the owners. Youngblood said he could not divulge whether Keck purchased the home from the Webb family, but said, “Mr. Webb owned it 2 to 3 weeks ago.” The fire, which investigators say started in the back hallway, gutted the two-story Victorian-style home. Firefighters responded about 5:15 a.m. Friday but the blaze was already so large, the home was unstable and too dangerous to enter. Firefighters fought the flames defensively, using ladder trucks and pumpers. Just before 8 a.m., firefighters used a back hoe to tear down the remaining walls of the home and extinguished any remaining flames.

CONCORD — Cabarrus College of Health Sciences will host a Fall into LiveWELL Health Day on Thursday. The event is part of a new campaign the college began in September that aims to encourage students to live healthy lifestyles. The mission of the LiveWELL program, a version of Carolinas Healthcare System and Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast’s employee healthy lifestyle initiative, is to create a culture of wellness at the college, improve student health and reduce health care costs. As part of the program, students earn points that can be redeemed for prizes upon completion of the program’s 10 “Steps to Success.” The program includes steps focused on preventive care, healthy body image, coping with stress, physical activity and participation in the college’s first ever health day. Students, faculty and staff at Cabarrus College will attend the health day, when representatives from various community partners will promote healthy lifestyle options. This will include demonstrations on healthy food preparation and Zumba; DARE officers and health professionals offering smoking cessation tips; and cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. The launch of the new student LiveWELL program and the first ever Fall into LiveWELL Health Day will help educate students on the benefits of living healthy and assist them in making healthy choices in their health care careers, a press release said.

Gay Brazilian married in US may face deportation

Homeowners say loan mods led them to foreclosure LOS ANGELES (AP) — Grocery store owners William and Esperanza Casco were making enough money to stay current on their mortgage, but when JPMorgan Chase & Co. offered a plan that reduced their payments, they figured they could use the extra cash and signed up. The Cascos say they never missed a subsequent payment, so they were horrified when the bank decided the smaller payments weren’t enough and foreclosed on their modest Long Beach home. Their story is echoed across the country by people who claim — some in lawsuits — that banks didn’t live up to their end of the deal when they agreed to trial mortgage modifications. The suits add to a feeling among many struggling homeowners that they’re getting little help from the part of the government’s $700 billion Wall Street rescue that aimed to help them directly. Indeed, Treasury statistics show that only about one-third of the nearly 1.4 million homeowners accepted into the government’s payment reduction program over the past year have had their reductions made permanent. “It is extremely unfair that someone like me and my wife who have owned our home for 17 years and never missed a payment could end up in foreclosure,” Casco, 47, said in Spanish through an interpreter. Chase spokesman Gary Kishner was unable to comment on whether Cascos had been current on their payments but insisted the bank had treated the couple fairly. “We worked with the borrower to give him as many

opportunities as possible to qualify for a modification,” he said. “However, they were not able to do so and therefore we were forced to foreclose on the property.” Several federal lawsuits filed in Boston accuse major lenders of breach of contract under the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program, in which banks agreed to participate as part of the bank bailout. The lawsuits say the banks agreed under HAMP to grant permanent mortgage modifications to borrowers who make all payments during trial modifications. Attorney Shennan Alexandra Kavanagh said several of the plaintiffs lost their homes after their payments reverted to their original sums that they were unable to pay. She said she believes tens of thousands of borrowers in Massachusetts alone could be covered by the suits if they get class-action status. One of the lawsuits, against Bank of America Corp., was consolidated earlier this month with similar complaints in five other states, Kavanagh said. Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton said in an e-mail that the lender will continue aggressively defending itself against the cases. More lawsuits have been filed against other lenders elsewhere. In San Francisco, the Housing and Economic Rights Advocates legal services group sued Chase, accusing the New York bank of profiting from collecting payments during long trial modifications that ultimately end in foreclosure. “They’re participating in

the crisis they had helped to foment by refusing to honor loan modifications they had already agreed to,” said attorney James C. Sturdevant, whose firm is assisting in the lawsuit. Chase’s Kishner said he could not comment on the pending litigation. Joseph R. Mason, a professor at Louisiana State University’s business school who has written widely on the subprime lending debacle, said he suspects the loan modification disputes are a legacy of the federal government’s rush to stem the flow of foreclosures before it had adequate plans in place. “These policymakers said, just go out and do this and don’t let us worry about the details,” he said. “These details are now what are coming to the fore in these modification cases.” Laurie Maggiano, policy director at the Treasury Department’s Homeownership Preservation Office, said banks were encouraged to offer trial modifications based on interviews with borrowers about their incomes and expenses while they sorted out the paperwork to qualify for permanently reduced payments. The banks were under no obligation to make trial modifications permanent until this June, when new regulations stopped loan servicers from offering the trials based on stated income, Maggiano said. Now, incomes and other details are being fully vetted before trial periods, and borrowers are preapproved for a permanent modification as long as they make three trial period payments, she said. She also said banks are only obliged to grant modifications if the investors who

hold the mortgages also benefit from the modification, as mandated by the October 2008 legislation approving the bailout. Those explanations provide little comfort to the Cascos. “I think that banks are playing games with us,” William Casco said. Casco said his monthly mortgage payments to Washington Mutual Inc. went up to $2,765 when he refinanced his home in 2006 to pay for a new a meat counter at his store in the industrial Los Angeles suburb of South Gate. Chase was in the process of acquiring Washington Mutual in January 2009 when Casco said it sent a note telling him he qualified for a lower forbearance rate. The El Salvador native sent the tax returns and business documents the bank was requesting. His payment was reduced to $1,250, where it remained for several months until Chase told him to apply for a trial loan modification. Again, Casco said, he sent Chase the documentation they requested. His payment rose to $2,363 in June, then returned to the forbearance rate in October. Casco said he continued paying what he was asked until August 2010, when Chase told his family that they were $50,000 behind on their payments and put them into foreclosure. The home has since been sold and Casco is currently fighting eviction. That has him considering joining an existing lawsuit against the bank or seeking support to file a suit on his own. “I’m determined to do whatever it takes in order to keep my house,” he said. “I feel that a great injustice has been done to my family.”

BOSTON (AP) — A Brazilian man who was recently reunited with his Massachusetts husband when federal officials temporarily allowed him into the U.S. said he could face deportation because the attorney general won’t reverse the immigration ruling that initially separated the couple. Genesio Oliveira, 31, said Monday that he could be forced to return to Brazil in six months because of Eric Holder’s decision. “I was very depressed,” Oliveira said in a telephone interview. “I’m terrified. I thought this would be over by now.” Three years ago, Oliveira and husband Tim Coco, 49, of Haverhill, were forced to live apart when Oliveira was denied asylum over claims he was raped as a teenager. A judge found Oliveira’s fear of returning to Brazil “genuine,” but ruled he was never physically harmed by the rape. The Associated Press does not typically name rape victims, but Oliveira speaks openly about his case and allows his name to be used. The case gained international attention from gay rights and immigrant advocates who criticized U.S. officials for separating a legally married couple. In June, at U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s urging, federal officials temporarily allowed Oliveira back in the country on humanitarian grounds. Following his return to Massachusetts, Oliveira said the couple believed Holder would reverse the initial immigration decision. Oliveira, whose nickname is “Junior,” said that would have allowed him to apply for permanent residency in the U.S. either on the basis of his marriage or as an asylumseeker who feels threatened by anti-gay violence in his country. Although Brazil is one of Latin America’s most tolerant countries toward gays, a number of Brazilian gays have persuaded U.S. judges to grant them asylum on the grounds they would face persecution if sent home.

“I think (Holder) was never able to help us,” said Oliveira. “He has all the authority to help us and he doesn’t want to.” The U.S. attorney general’s office did not immediately return e-mails and phone messages Monday. Last year, Kerry asked Holder to grant Oliveira asylum on humanitarian grounds. Then in March, Kerry wrote Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano asking her to issue Oliveira “humanitarian parole” based on his fear of persecution in Brazil. Humanitarian parole is used sparingly to temporarily allow someone who is otherwise inadmissible into the U.S. for a compelling emergency, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. A spokeswoman for Kerry said the senator was in Beirut and couldn’t immediately comment. Coco said the couple is looking at all available options now, including trying to reapply for asylum, suing the federal government over the Defense of Marriage Act, or trying to convince lawmakers to pass a federal bill that would allow Oliveira to stay.

LA police arrest 88 in raid of downtown club LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police say 81 women and seven men have been arrested in a raid on a downtown Los Angeles “hostess club.” Patrons at LA’s hostess clubs can legally pay women for time and companionship but nudity and stripping are not allowed. Lt. Paul Vernon said Monday that the 88 were arrested at Club 907 on Friday on suspicion of prostitution, lewd conduct, gambling and the use of counterfeit identification. He says some of those arrested may have been illegal immigrant women trafficked into the U.S. and then forced to work at the club. Nearly three dozen officers took part in the raid and found evidence of prostitution and about 400 people crowded into a space with a capacity for 250.

Fort Bragg to test soldiers for fake marijuana

MARION (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man convicted of killing his girlfriend, his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and his own daughter has been sentenced to death. District Attorney Brad Greenway told The Asheville Citizen-Times that a McDowell County jury returned its decision Monday after deliberating all day Friday. Authorities say 52-year-old Stephen Buckner became angry in January 2008 when his girlfriend, Vicky Lowery, decided to move out. Investigators say Buckner shot Lowery, Loweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14year-old daughter Chelsea Gregory, and his 25-year-old daughter Rebecca Buckner several times. The death sentence was given for killing the younger victims. Buckner was sentenced to life without parole for shooting Lowery. Buckner was convicted of three counts of first degree murder on Nov. 2.

Trial of doctor in ballerina death delayed

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state treasurer wants the Legislature to give her the ability to put more money from the public employee pension fund into hedge funds and alternative investments. Treasurer Janet Cowell told WRAL-TV on Monday she needs more flexibility so the retirement fund can meet its expected annual return on investments and remain actuarially sound. State law already allows her to put up to 5 percent of fund assets into hedge funds. The Legislature gave her more authority in 2009 to invest in timberland, commodities and other securities and real estate. The pension fund covers 820,000 retiree and current employees statewide and was valued at $65 billion earlier this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthiest public pensions.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The trial of a Raleigh doctor in the car crash death of a 20-yearold ballerina may be postponed until next year because of a paperwork mishap. Multiple media outlets report that Raymond Dwight Cook was indicted Monday on charges that include second-degree murder. Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial was set to begin last week, but prosecutors noticed the indictment was worded incorrectly. They had to go back to a grand jury with a corrected document. The paperwork problem means jury selection for the 43-year-old former plastic surgeon may not begin until 2011. Authorities say Cook was driving 85 mph when he struck the car of WinstonSalem ballerina Elena Bright Shapiro in September 2009.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A legal chemical designed to mimic the effects of marijuana has military, police and government officials across North Carolina weighing the merits of a ban. Commonly known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiceâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;K2,â&#x20AC;? the synthetic compound is sold as incense in head shops and tobacco stores across the state. Now, as officials worry about the potential side effects of the substance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which are largely unknown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering whether to join six other states in banning it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really need to know the effects of this particular product,â&#x20AC;? said state Sen. Bill Purcell. The Laurinburg Democrat, a retired pediatrician, successfully introduced a bill in the last legislative session to ban the sale, possession and manufacture of a hallucinogenic herb called Salvia divinorum. Manufactured in China and Korea, K2 is sold as incense. It mixes herbs and spices and is then sprayed with a chemical compound similar to THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Users roll it up in joints or smoke it from a pipe. There are no research results on how the drug effects humans, including how long it stays in the body. One of the few studies of K2 was done in Europe last year, which found the actual content of the synthetic compound varies wildly from brand to brand. Purcell and his staff are currently researching the substance and looking at laws passed in other states. He expects to introduce a bill prohibiting it in the next General Assembly session, which starts in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the state doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything, that just tells people itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay,â&#x20AC;? he said. At Fort Bragg and at least nine other military installations around the country, the use and possession of K2 is prohibited, with soldiers facing punishment for failing to obey an order if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re caught with the substance. The post recently became able to administer drug tests that will tell if someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been using K2, Bragg spokesman Ben Abel told The Fayetteville Observer. One of the merits of K2 has been that, besides being legal in most states, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also difficult to discover through drug testing. Calls to Bragg were not immediately returned Monday. In Winston-Salem, Police Chief Scott Cunningham began meeting with other chiefs after officers noticed a surge in K2 use during last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dixie Classic Fair. WinstonSalem police are hoping the General Assembly will move to prohibit sale and possession of the substance next year, but recognize that will be easier said than done. In other states, sellers of K2 have responded to the bans by making changes to the name of the product and how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sold, according to Winston-Salem Police Lt. Bart Stone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inevitably, people will try to find loopholes to get around it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SCENES OF AUTUMN

With deer on the move, be on the lookout

SuBMitted PhotoS

this photo of fall scenery was taken by C. Michael Williams and posted online at www.salisburypost.com

Now that fall has arrived, so has deer season, which means more deer will be seen crossing roads and highways. Drivers need to be aware of their surroundings so that they can avoid deer collisions. According to the Insurance Information Institute, there are 1.6 million deer-vehicle collisions annually, resulting in 150 occupant deaths, more than 10,000 injuries and over $3.6 billion in vehicle damage. Here are tips for avoiding deer and auto collision from the institute: • Deer are not just found on rural roads near wooded areas, many deer crashes occur on busy highways near cities. • Deer are unpredictable, especially when faced with glaring headlights, blowing horns and fast-moving vehicles. They often dart into traffic. • Deer often move in groups. If you see one, there are likely more in the vicinity. • Drive with caution when

moving through deer-crossing zones, in areas known to have a large deer population and in areas where roads divide agricultural fields from forestland. • Always wear your seat belt and stay awake, alert and sober. • When driving at night, use high-beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. The high beams will better illuminate the eyes of deer on or near the roadway. • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. These are the highest risk times for deer-vehicle collisions. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane. Many serious crashes occur when drivers swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or lose control of their cars. • Do not rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. These devices have not proven effective.

Fishing with Capt. Gus

Herons the expert hunters around Lake Norman

henry Starnes 17, caught this 38-pound catﬁsh using cut bait (shad) on Lake tillery.

Marlene Kepley caught a 6-pound, 2-ounce ﬂounder at Morehead City while ﬁshing with her daughters, Pam Forrest of Woodleaf and Susan Chapman of Atlantic Beach.

Those who have spent time around the water have most likely seen a blue heron stalking minnows. The bluish-gray bird with long legs and an even longer neck is usually seen wading along the shore. These solitary hunters frequent quiet coves and areas where an abundance of baitfish swims near the shore. Blue herons are expert fishers, but they also eat snakes and small ground animals. They stand patiently still until their quarry is close enough to snare with a quick thrust of its blade-like beak. While an adult bird stands upwards of four and a half feet, its neck is very thin. So thin, in fact, that if a fish becomes lodged sideways in its neck, it can choke to death. The neck of a juvenile bird is smaller yet, which makes choking a major reason for the species’ high mortality rate. There are lots of stories of missing Koi and other fish from newly stocked garden ponds. At first, the pond owner notices that a few fish are missing, but then realizes there is always the chance that some fish might be hidden under rocks and pond veg-

etation. Surprisingly, within a few days the entire fish population has disappeared. Could it be a neighborhood cat? Wrong again! More than likely, the real culprit is a blue heron. When food is hard to find, the blue heron may resort to unconventional means for a meal. Small pond fish are as tempting as those that swim along the shore. In fact, they might be easier to catch. Fisherman cast toward lighted docks at night to catch game fish that eat the minnows attracted to bright light. It is not unusual for them to come face to face with a long legged blue heron. The bird, unhappy for the intrusion, expresses its displeasure by sending an eerie, gawking sound as it flies away. As savvy a hunter as the blue heron is, it doesn’t always find food easily. There are times when you will see them perched high on the roof of a boat dock or on the rail of a pier. From these vantage points they are searching for another meal along the shore. You can visit www. lakenormanstriperfishing. com or call Gus Gustafson at 704-617-6812. E-mail him at Gus@LakeNorman.com.

COLUMNS

Ask Amy: Stepdad not LOL over texting at dinner Dear Amy: I can’t seem to solve this problem that I know many others are facing. I have a 19-year-old stepdaughter who cannot have a meal with my wife and me without texting. I find it rude and disrespectful, but my words fall on deaf ears no matter how I present them. She is very intelligent and knows exASK actly how I AMY feel about this issue but can’t seem to find 30 minutes of self-discipline while we are all sharing this precious family time. She’s certainly too old to punish, and I am out of solutions other than maybe leaving the table myself or politely asking her to leave. — Not LOL

Dear Not: In my household, we turn off our devices during meals. This rule actually came from the kids, who noted that while we asked them not to text during meals, my hubby and I occasionally answered the phone when it rang during dinner. If we are in the midst of a family emergency, we waive this rule but only take calls we know are related to the emergency. Turning off the phone eliminates the Pavlovian response to leap to the phone when one hears the ping of a text message or a call coming in. Once you sit down to eat, you may have to prompt your stepdaughter by saying, “Did you remember to turn off your phone during dinner?” Then you say, “We’ll wait until you do.” She may roll her eyes or give you some other “You’re

so lame” body language, but do her a favor and ignore it. Thank her for turning off the phone, drop the subject and engage her in conversation about something else. The larger issue here is why your stepdaughter continues to behave in a way that she knows you find disrespectful. You don’t mention the girl’s mother; it goes without saying that if both of you really wanted to enforce this “no phone” rule during dinner, you would present a united front and end this disruptive practice. Dear Amy: About a year ago, I met with an old boss for a networking meeting. I had just graduated from college and was looking for a job. My boss did not have any contacts for me but told me about his impending divorce. Since then, he has

called or texted me about once a month asking me to meet up. These are the kind of invitations that could be called innocent but clearly are not. He is making me extremely uncomfortable. I have not told him off because I still need his recommendation. How do you think I could get him to stop? — Nicole Dear Nicole: From your account of this contact, your former boss has not been at all helpful to you in terms of providing you with professional help. You may be overestimating his usefulness to you in terms of your professional development. You don’t have to tell him off. You just need to be honest. The next time he contacts you, you say, “I don’t want

to get together socially.” Dear Amy: I loved the letter from “Put Upon,” whose husband regularly volunteered her services for dogsitting his brother’s dog without asking her. My husband used to volunteer to watch our five grandchildren almost every Friday night. I didn’t mind an occasional Friday but soon it was every Friday night, sometimes until midnight. I asked him to consult me before saying yes, but that never happened. (By the way, two were in diapers, and I was always the one doing the watching.) One Friday, after an extremely trying week, he casually mentioned they were bringing the kids over for “us” to watch. I told him that was really too bad because I had prom-

ised a friend I would have dinner with her. I left him to take care of the kids (he is perfectly capable). Needless to say, that was the last time he approved a Friday night of baby-sitting without my consent. — Grumpy Grandma Dear Grumpy Grandma: Sometimes, the best way to cope with someone else’s volunteering your services is to simply make yourself unavailable. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Never underestimate an honest review tions. There are other sites on which you always should read the reviews. Zappos.com, an online shoe retailer, is a good case in point. Zappos reviewers are amazing. Most give very detailed reviews for how shoes fit (“true to size” or “they feel small,” etc.). You’ll learn more about how shoes look and feel than you may have known existed. Allrecipes.com is another review-heavy site. After reading several dozen reviews for a single recipe, you may feel as if you’ve just enrolled in culinary school. • Assessing the negative. As a member of Angie’s List, I have learned to scrutinize carefully a single negative review for a service or health provider. That’s because I know human nature. That reviewer could have had a really bad day or an ulterior motive having nothing to do with the service, choosing instead to use the review process as a means of revenge. Angie’s List does allow a service provider to post a rebuttal or

explanation. • Write reviews. Customer reviews are only as reliable as those who write and submit them. Each time you offer an objective, honest review, you are helping others. Be brief, honest and thorough. Don’t just say you love the shoes; say how they fit, whether they arrived on time, how they were packed, how it was to deal with customer service, whether you would buy from the site again and so on. Give the kind of review you would enjoy reading.

I am a huge fan of the Internet for thousands of reasons. And right up there at the top: reviews. I have come to count heavily on the opinions of others before trying out a new recipe, buying something online, trying a new restaurant, booking a hotel or hiring a s e r v i c e provider. But, MARY I am learning, HUNT reviews are not infallible. There is a fine art emerging for how to use a review — and also how to write one. • Security in numbers. It is not wise to rely on a single online review. You cannot know whether the review is an “inside job,” meaning the best friend or mother of the new restaurant’s owner posted a five-star review. However, if there are 27 reviews averaging four stars along with the one you think might be bogus, it’s a recommendation you should take seriously. It’s possible that many others happen to agree with “Mom.” • Bogus reviews. Just because there are lots of reviews for the items you are researching doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the reviews are viable. Read them carefully. Immediately discount any reviews that start out with “I didn’t actually read this book” or “I haven’t really eaten here, but I’ve heard...” You want to consider solid, honest and reliable reviews. You’ll learn quickly how to spot them. • Mandatory consideration. Never buy anything on eBay without first reading the seller’s feedback. You can learn a lot, such as just what kind of a person you are dealing with, how he or she ships products and how honest he or she is with product descrip-

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Actor Ted Danson will testify Tuesday at a public hearing in Anchorage on environmental concerns from a 2008 lease sale in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea. Danson, a longtime ocean advocate, is in Anchorage filming the movie “Everybody Loves Whales,” starring Drew Barrymore. The conservation group Oceana announced Danson will testify at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement hearing. The former Minerals Management Service in February 2008 conducted a lease sale in the Chukchi, off Alaska’s northwest coast, receiving high bids totaling $2.7 billion and issuing 487 leases. Environmental and Alaska Native groups sued, and in July a federal judge said environmental information was lacking. The BOEMRE is collecting testimony on the effect of natural gas development and whether missing information is essential.

WILL GOP DO IT DIFFERENTLY?

Redistricting and politics f the Republicans who gained control of the N.C. Legislature are serious about doing things differently from the Democrats, the redrawing of North Carolina’s congressional and legislative districts is an excellent good place to start. The state’s budget deficit may be the toughest issue confronting lawmakers, and the one that looms largest in the minds of many voters. But the maps that determine voting districts will shape North Carolina’s political and legislative future for many years to come. How district maps are redrawn won’t just determine the fate of individual politicians in future elections. The process will be a prominent force in shaping legislative alignments for at least the next decade. The question is, now that Republicans have seized the redistricting reins, will they manipulate the process to consolidate their power — as Democrats did — or will they restore some sanity to gerrymandered districts like the N.C. 3rd and 12th, and apportion voting populations along more logical lines? Or, to put it in more familiar terms, will Republicans let voters pick candidates instead of allowing candidates (or, in this case, sitting legislators) to choose their favored groups of voters? In recent years, the out-of-power party argued for reform of the redistricting process. They filed bills calling for the Legislature to surrender redistricting rights and hand over that responsibility to an independent commission, as several states have done. Now, with redistricting on the agenda for the next legislative session (based on population shifts in the 2010 census), there isn’t time to establish such a commission, even if Republicans were inclined to do so. Setting up a redistricting commission would require an amendment to the state Constitution. While state lawmakers should make that a longterm goal, it’s too late in the game to have such a system in place for this round of redistricting. However, it’s not too late for Republicans to make a commitment to rational redistricting that restores competitiveness and coherence to so-called “safe” seats. They also can initiate the process of reforming redistricting rules and setting up a redistricting commission that can eventually take over the process, to be in place when the next census rolls around. It may not be realistic to think politics can ever be entirely removed from redistricting, but North Carolina deserves something better than districts that appear to have been drawn by an out-of-control Etch A Sketch. If Republicans really intend to wield power in a different way, the redistricting process can help draw that distinction.

Pennies do not come from heaven — they have to be earned here on earth. — Margaret Thatcher

Moderately confused

The real American dream ll my life, I’ve heard about the American dream. Only recently have I actually begun to give a lot of serious thought to what it is … And what it isn’t. I’ve heard the phrase “American Dream” thrown around in political debates for decades, used as cannon fodKENT der on both BERNHARDT sides of the aisle. It’s what our soldiers died to protect; the holy grail of the American way of life. We love to talk about it like it’s a Christmas present that’s supposed to magically show up under the tree just because it’s Christmas. The American Dream? We’re entitled to it because ... well, we’re Americans. We don’t need another reason. I’ve also listened to people define it through the years. Most visualize it as the right to live free from any kind of oppression; own a home in the city, suburbs, or country with a garage big enough for two relatively nice vehicles; have an education system second to none; commute to a job that we love that will never go away until we want it to; worship or even not worship as we see fit; and guarantee that our children will have it even better than we do. Oh, and lest I forget, our

health care system should guarantee us a long and healthy life for little or no money. Yes, that is the American dream, plain and simple. It’s ours. We’ve earned it, right? Now for the blast of cold water. That isn’t the American dream at all. It’s the fantasy that we’ve substituted for the American dream.

We squander much of the opportunity before us, and even worse, we begin to see it as something we’re entitled to. The real American dream can be found in one word: Opportunity. What we have in this country is opportunity; the opportunity to apply ourselves, the opportunity to excel, even the opportunity to fail. We are entitled to nothing. It’s important that we acknowledge that when discussing The American Dream. Thanks to the sacrifices of many, we experience opportunities that millions in other nations can only dream about. We wield an abundance of power when it comes to choosing our destiny; not unlimited power, but as close as we’re going to get. It is a

LETTERS Don’t repeat failed policies of the past The stock market, in order to reset itself, experiences a natural, cyclic “crash.” This is short-lived if uninterrupted. The 1920 crash is largely ignored in textbooks because it negates the progressives’ assertion that increasing taxes and/or spending raises either prosperity or revenue. The crash of 1929 didn’t cause the Great Depression; subsequent interference did. Many of the following statistics (comparing both crashes) are from the National Bureau of Economic Research. From the high in 1920, the economy spiraled downward until July 1921. The market lost 41.2 percent, not fully recovering until 1924. President Coolidge (1923-1928) slashed national spending by 50 percent and the (highest) tax rate from 73 percent to 25 percent. The “Roaring Twenties” became our most productive years ever. Unemployment dipped below 2 percent; charities prospered. Coolidge never blamed former administrations or current adversaries. “Duty is not collective; it is personal,” he said. October 1929 — another crash; the Dow dropped 42 percent. President Hoover (a progressive Republican) enacted the devastating SmootHawley tariff and forced wage hikes. His successor, FDR (a progressive Democrat) enacted massive social programs. Spending skyrocketed. Then cam: blaming others, increasing taxes, jailing opponents, punishing wealth. FDR’s second inaugural address (Janu-

TO THE

uniqueness that we should value, even treasure. But it comes with a catch: We must make use of opportunity before it means anything. But we don’t. Like a wealthy child in a mansion full of toys, we take it for granted. We squander much of the opportunity before us, and even worse, we begin to see it as something we’re entitled to. As a result, we see “the dream” slipping away, and like that wealthy child, we cry out in protest. But it’s not opportunity we want. That requires work. We want what opportunity produces. After all, we’re Americans. Our leaders have promised it to us. I wish the phrase “The American Dream” could be eliminated from all future discussions of what’s best for our nation. Too many people simply don’t understand it. We need to face the reality that nothing is a guarantee or an entitlement; that anything worth having requires each of us to make sound choices and fully utilize the opportunities before us. In the movie “The Verdict”, Paul Newman’s character reminds us that the court system doesn’t exist to give us justice. It exists to give us the opportunity for justice. There is a difference. A big difference. • • • Kent Bernhardt lives in Salisbury.

ary 1937): “Our progress out of the depression is obvious,” adding “we are fashioning an instrument of unimagined power for the establishment of a morally better world.” Predictably, by August, the market again plummeted; the Great Depression worsened. John Maynard Keynes, the English economist, met both Hoover and FDR, congratulating each for utilizing Keynesian policies. Keynesianism (the basis of today’s failed policies) emphasizes the consumer, not the producer. It encourages experimentation, stimulus spending and government-sponsored companies (i.e., taxpayers make up losses) competing unfairly with private enterprises. Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell’s stated goal to “make Obama a one-term president” is alarming. We need Coolidge ideals, not another blame-game recital. Propagate honor and leadership.

Respect the office Steve Croft of “60 Minutes” tried every way he could to embarrass and humiliate the

idnight, under a cloudless Carolina sky, with several billion stars dancing on the lake. I was sitting on a dock, bundled up like an Eskimo matron, waiting for the beaver that lives under the boathouse to swim out and slap his tail — thwack! — like a crack of lightning on the water. In a selfSHARON imposed exile, near the town RANDALL where I grew up, this passes for high entertainment. “No TV?” said my sister, when I told her I’d rented a place for a few weeks on a lake she calls the “Witness Protection Program.” “I don’t need a TV,” I said. “There’s no radio or phone, either, just my cell and the reception’s, like, pretty bad.” “Bad” is an understatement. To keep a cell-phone connection for more than 30 seconds, I have to sit on the dock facing west, close my eyes, cross my fingers and make no sudden moves. My sister cannot fathom this. “What on Earth will you do without a TV?” “I’ve got Internet,” I said. “I’ll be fine.” I did not say I’d sit around waiting for a beaver to slap its tail. She worries enough as it is. My husband flew out to join me for the weekend. We went to a Clemson game, then spent the evening on the dock listening to owls hoot and geese honk and dogs bark in the distance. That’s when we first saw the beaver. It came swimming out from under the boathouse, cutting a wide wake on the water in the moonlight. “What the heck is that?” said my husband. He grew up in California, knows a lot about sea lions, but not much about overgrown aquatic rodents. “I don’t know,” I whispered. “It’s pretty big for a beaver.” Then it slapped its tail on the water — thwack! — like a shotgun blast in an outhouse and we nearly knocked each other into the lake trying to get in the cabin. The next day, before he flew back to Las Vegas and left me here to do some writing, he bought me a flashlight. “Be careful,” he said, and I promised I would be. My sister calls daily to ask if the ax murderer has gotten me yet. Occasionally she lures me off the lake for dinner. But I spend most evenings writing, reading or waiting, yes, for the beaver to slap its tail. It’s good sometimes to unplug, to be still and hear yourself think. Unless you happen to be a baseball fan and your team is playing in the World Series. I’ve been a Giants fan longer than I’ve been a mother. All the men I have married, all the children I have born, even my 10-week-old grandson, we’re all Giants fans. I could not in good conscience miss the Series. So for a small fee, I signed up to watch it live on my laptop. And that is how, on a tiny little screen in a cabin on Lake Witness Protection Program, I saw the Giants win their first World Series since before I was a Giants fan. After the game, I went out on the dock to think about it. My grandmother used to say that wonders never cease. She lived all her life on a mountain, spent most of her latter years alone. I tried to picture her sitting in her rocker watching a baseball game on a laptop. The thought of it made me smile. I was still smiling when the beaver swam by the dock and slapped its tail on the water — thwack! — like the crack of Edgar Renteria’s bat hitting a three-run, Series-winning homer. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Make Grandma spill the beans: Uncovering all the diseases that lurk in your family tree can trump costly genetic testing in predicting what illnesses you and your children are likely to face. It may sound old-fashioned, but a Cleveland Clinic study comparing which method best uncovered an increased risk of cancer helps confirm the value of what’s called a family health history. All it costs is a little time questioning your relatives, yet good family health trees are rare. A government survey estimated less than a third of families have one — and timecrunched doctors seldom push their patients to remedy that. “I view family health histories as back to the future,” says Dr. Charis Eng, a cancer geneticist at the Cleveland Clinic’s Genomic Medicine Institute. “It’s the best-kept secret in health care.” Holiday gatherings can be a good chance to gather the information, as can reunions or even funerals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The BP oil rig explosion and spill wasn’t about anyone purposely trading money for safety, investigators on a special presidential commission said Monday. Instead it was more about seemingly acceptable risks adding up to disaster. Investigators at the commission’s hearing outlined more than a dozen decisions that at the time seemed questionable but also explainable. There was no evidence of a conscious decision on the BP rig to do things on the cheap at the expense of safety, investigators stressed several times. Likewise, representatives of the companies involved in the disaster denied that corners were cut because of cost. Critics — including a top academic, a congressman and people on the temporarily polluted Bayou — are balking at what they see as something close a free pass for BP’s history of cost cutting. Commission officials say they aren’t excusing BP at all, but pointing out there was no clear single decision that came down solely to money. “Anytime you are talking about a million and a half dollars a day, money enters in. All I am saying is human beings did not sit there and sell safety down the river for dollars on the rig that night,” commission chief attorney Fred H. Bartlit Jr. said. That doesn’t mean that a general culture of cost cutting wasn’t an issue, added commission co-chairman Bob Graham, the former Florida senator and governor. But Bartlit said that his job wasn’t to look at BP’s safety record.

hibiting toner and ink cartridges weighing more than one pound from passenger flights, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday. The new rules are a direct response to the thwarted terror plot that could have taken down two cargo planes over the U.S. last month. Terrorists in Yemen had hidden two powerful bombs inside printers and shipped them to addresses in Chicago. As the packages made their way to the U.S., Saudi Arabia tipped off intelligence officials to the plot, providing the FedEx and UPS tracking numbers that allowed officials to pinpoint where the packages were en route. “The threats of terrorism we face are serious and evolving, and these security measures reflect our commitment to using current intelligence to stay ahead of adversaries,” Napolitano said in a statement. The U.S. immediately banned cargo from Yemen after the bombs were intercepted. Other countries including England and Germany — which the bombs traveled through — followed suit.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man was condemned to death Monday for a night of terror inside a suburban home in which a woman was strangled and her two daughters tied to their beds and left to die in a gasoline-fueled fire. Jurors in New Haven Superior Court voted unanimously to send Steven Hayes to death row after deliberating over four days. Judge Jon Blue will impose the sentence on Dec. 2. “You have been exposed to images of depravity and horror that no human being should have to see,” Blue said in thanking the jurors for their service. Dr. William Petit, the husband and father of the victims, said the verdict was not about revenge. “Vengeance belongs to the Lord,” Petit said. “This is about justice. We need to have some rules in a civilized society.”

lence, Bush is back. With his new memoir, “Decision Points,” and a promotion tour, the president who in cockier times could not think of a single mistake he had made, lists many. He counts the years without a post-9/11 attack as his transcendent achievement. He says the economic calamity he handed off to Barack Obama was “one ugly way to end a presidency.” While he’s been absent from the national scene, Bush’s team has been busy. Some of the most polarizing figures from his 2001-2009 presidency have found second lives in the political world. Karl Rove, the operative who might as well have put “mastermind” on his business card, became a master money-raiser for the midterm elections in plenty of time to make Democrats apoplectic all over again. Dick Cheney, the Bush vice president whose influence rivaled if not surpassed Rove’s, has tormented the Obama administration at many turns.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Elizabeth Smart remembers not being able to make out the threat, only the feel of cold knife at her neck. As the then-14-year-old lay in bed alongside her baby sister, the man repeated: “Don’t make a sound. Get out of bed and come with me, or I will kill you and your family.” She was his hostage, he told her. “I was shocked. I thought I was having a nightmare. It was just indescribable fear,” Smart, now 23, told jurors Monday on the first day of testimony in the trial of Brian David Mitchell, the man accused of kidnapping her in June 2002. That night, they fled up the hills above her home, with Smart in her red pajamas and tennis shoes, and the knife to her back. Her younger sister — a baby blanket wrapped around her head and neck — rushed to their mother, telling of the kidnapping. “It was utter terror,” their mother, Lois Smart, testified earlier Monday. “It was the worst feeling, knowing that I didn’t know where my child was. I was helpless.”

Obama supports permanent seat for India on UN council

Officials suspect cholera has entered Haitian capital PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Health officials said Monday that they are examining at least 120 suspected cases of cholera in Haiti’s capital, the most significant warning sign yet that the epidemic has spread from outlying areas to threaten as many as 3 million people. Samples from patients in Port-au-Prince are being tested in a laboratory to confirm the presence of vibrio cholera bacteria, which has already killed at least 544 people in Haiti, Health Ministry Executive Director Gabriel Timothee told The Associated Press. If confirmed, the bacteria could imperil an estimated 2.5 to 3 million inhabitants, nearly half of whom have been living in tents or under tarps in easily flooded encampments since their houses were destroyed in the Jan. 12 earthquake.

President Barack Obama is seated between India’s President Prathiba Patil, right, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the start of a state dinner at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, India, on Monday. “We are working on the cases. ... We don’t have confirmation yet,” Timothee said. He said many of the hospitalized patients are believed to have recently arrived from parts of Haiti such as the Artibonite Valley, where the epidemic was first registered and has done its most ferocious damage. More than 6,400 of the known 8,138 cases to date have been in the agricultural region, clustered around the Artibonite River.

Scientists at atom smasher recreate Big Bang conditions GENEVA (AP) — Scientists at the world’s largest atom smasher said Monday they have succeeded in recreating conditions shortly after the Big Bang by switching the particles they use for collisions from protons to much heavier lead ions. The Large Hadron Collider recorded its first lead ion collisions on Sunday and has since stabilized the twin beams sufficiently to start running physics experiments, said a spokeswoman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN. The collisions produce an effect that is as close as researchers have ever come to observing the state of matter moments after the formation of the universe, which is believed to have begun with a colossal explosion known as the Big Bang. The event inside the collider “is a very, very, very small bang,” CERN spokeswoman Barbara Warmbein told The Associated Press. Still, researchers are hoping the collisions will be powerful enough to produce a thick soup of matter called “quark-gluon plasma” that will help them gain a deeper insight into how the universe began.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Thai officials say sporadic fighting is continuing for the third day between ethnic rebels and Myanmar government troops after elections in the country. The clashes that began Sunday at key points along the Thai-Myanmar border have sent some 15,000 panicked villagers into Thailand. Sporadic gunfire erupted in the Myanmar border town of Myawaddy on Tuesday morning. But the governor of the Thai province of Tak, Samard Loyfar, says refugees told Thai officials that Myanmar government forces had retaken the town and that the fighting was likely to end. The violence follows elections Sunday that critics say are a guise to keep Myanmar’s ruling military in power. Junta-backed candidates are virtually certain to dominate the new parliament.

NEW DELHI (AP) — Deepening America’s stake in Asian power politics, President Barack Obama on Monday endorsed India’s bid to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, hoping to elevate the nation of a billion people to “its rightful place in the world” alongside an assertive China. Obama’s declaration, delivered to the pounding applause of India’s parliament members, spoke to a mission broader than the makeup of one global institution. By spending three packed days in India, announcing trade deals, dismissing job-outsourcing gripes and admonishing India’s rival Pakistan, Obama went all in for an ally whose support he hopes to bank on for years. “I want every Indian citizen to know: The United States of America will not simply be cheering you on from the sidelines,” Obama said inside the soaring legislative chamber of the capital city. “We will be right there with you, shoulder to shoulder, because we believe in the promise of India.” To Obama, that promise entails shaking up the world order by giving more voice to developing countries that offer lucrative markets for U.S. products and potential help to counter terrorism and a warming planet. India fits Obama’s agenda perfectly because it is the world’s largest democracy and sits in the heart of a pivotal, vexing region. The diplomacy in India also gave Obama a chance to reassert himself on the global stage, far from Washington in the aftermath after humbling congressional elections.

CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers’ miserable year took an even darker twist Monday when tests revealed starting quarterback Matt Moore has a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder and will require season-ending surgery. Moore was injured when Sedrick Ellis his drove right shoulMOORE der into the turf on a sack in the second quarter of New Orleans’ 34-3 rout Sunday. In the last year of his contract and after failing to move the Panthers except in their lone victory this season, Moore may have played his last game in Carolina. But coach John Fox’s reluctance to commit to struggling Jimmy Clausen over fellow rookie Tony Pike as Moore’s replacement further illustrated his predicament as the Panthers (1-7) flirt with being one of the lowest-scoring teams in NFL history. “The two quarterbacks on the roster, we’ll take a look at them this week and decide who gives us the best chance to win,” Fox said. To make matters worse, the only bright spot for the Panthers this season — the defense — took its own hits. Starting middle linebacker Dan Connor is lost for the season after breaking his hip Sunday, and the team has decided not to bring back weakside linebacker Thomas Davis this season from his second major knee surgery in a year. Fox also confirmed Jonathan Stewart sustained a concussion Sunday and gave no timetable for fellow running back DeAngelo Williams’ return from a foot injury. The Panthers can’t seem to hit bottom. “It’s a reflection of the season,” Jon Beason said. Moore’s injury is part of a stunning fall after he finished 4-1 as a replacement last season, leading to Carolina’s decision to release seven-year starter Jake Delhomme. Moore, who will undergo surgery within a couple weeks, threw five touchdowns, 10 interceptions, lost two fumbles and had a passer rating of 55.6. And he’s been Carolina’s best QB. Fox yanked Clausen shortly after he threw an interception Sunday that was returned for a touchdown by Jabari Greer.

East Rowan catcher Luke Thomas returns to home plate during a break in the Mustangs’ series-opening playoff victory against Tuscola in late May.

Thomas a grade-A talent BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan’s Luke Thomas has a lot going for him. He’s not only fourth on baseball coach Brian Hightower’s lineup card, he’s second academically in East’s senior class. Thomas, who has committed to

Wingate, commutes daily to Salisbury High for an advanced calculus class that’s not offered at East. Thomas’ college choice basically came down to Wingate or Davidson, although Pfeiffer was also in the mix. A small percentage of the population has the brains to get into Davidson, but Thomas is gifted in science and math. “Luke wants to major in bio-tech

engineering or something like that in college,” Hightower said with a laugh. “Something a guy like me can’t even pronounce.” While Thomas is a scholar and a slugger, if he had to define himself with one word, it probably would be “catcher.” That’s what he’s always been, and it’s something he may do beyond college. He has the size (6-foot-1, 205

pounds) and the talent. “I loved catching right from the start,” Thomas said. “Mostly because you’re involved on every play. I’ve always enjoyed leading a staff, trying to think ahead a pitch or two.” Catching is by far the toughest and most hazardous position.

Playoff draws intriguing for area football teams BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

The NCHSAA implemented a postseason pod system to reduce travel. The new format appears to have created a favorable draw for West Rowan and a difficult one for Salisbury, teams that played into December last year.  The Falcons, who have won the last two 3A state titles, get homefield advantage that comes with being the No. 1 seed (instead of Burns) in the 16-team western half of the bracket. They are in an eight-team “Midwest” pod with No. 6 Carson, No. 7 Concord, No. 8 Northwest Cabarrus, No. 9 West

Iredell, No. 12 Cox Mill, No. 15 Hickory and No. 16 Harding. The “West” pod features four of the top-five seeds in the western half of 3A: No. 2 Burns, No. 3 Hibriten, No. 4 East Henderson and No. 5 Asheville. Tuscola, which challenged West Rowan in last year’s state semifinals, is also in that pod. West Rowan (11-0) could reach this year’s semifinals before having to face the team that survives the tough “West” pod. It had tight third-round games against Carver (20-16) and Asheville (28-14) in its first two title runs.

Sloppy Terps prevail Associated Press College hoops roundup ... COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The next time Maryland commits 29 turnovers in a game, the result might be decidedly different. Sean Mosley scored 21 points, Jordan Williams had 17 points and 15 rebounds, and Maryland rolled to a sloppy 105-76 victory over Seattle on Monday night in the 2K Sports Classic. Playing their first game in four years without standout guard Greivis Vasquez, the Terrapins (1-0) benefited from a balanced scoring attack. Cliff Tucker scored 16 points, freshman Terrell Stoglin had 15 and Adrian Bowie added nine. “We do that against Pittsburgh, we’re going to get killed,” Bowie said, referring to Maryland’s Nov. 18 opponent in the tournament that benefits Coaches vs. Cancer.

FOOTBALL FROM 1B A first-round victory Friday against Harding (3-8 with competitive losses to Charlotte Catholic, West Charlotte and Berry) would pit the Falcons against either West Iredell or Northwest Cabarrus in Round 2. Those two schools gave West Rowan its stiffest tests of the regular season — Northwest fell 26-7 and West Iredell lost 34-14 — but the Falcons still won by relatively large margins. They followed the West Iredell game with a 41-14 drubbing of Carson, which will play host to a Hickory team that opened the season with a 42-26 loss at Statesville. One of 11 regular-season games was dropped from overall records for seeding purposes, and Burns (10-1) joined West Rowan with an unbeaten record in that format. An overtime loss to Alexander Central cost Hibriten (9-2) a chance at receiving the No. 1 seed.

sion I game of the season, rallying from eight points down to beat the Rams. Pitt ended a sluggish first half in the 2K Sports Classic opener by scoring nine consecutive points over the final 1:21 after Rhode Island went ahead 36-28. No. 13 Illinois 79, Irvine 65 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Brandon Paul scored 18 points to lead No. 13 Illinois past UC-Irvine. All of Paul’s points came on 3pointers and he was 6 for 8 from the field with all of his shots from beyond the arc. Fifteen of his points came in the first 20 minutes as Illinois took a 42-18 lead. Texas 83, Navy 52 AUSTIN, Texas — Playing with four new starters, Texas used a 23-9 run early in the second half to easily pull away from the poor-shooting Midshipmen. Texas shot just 4 of 17 from 3point range, but dominated the glass with a 50-30 rebounding edge and held Navy to 30 percent shooting. Gary Johnson had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Longhorns.

 Salisbury (8-3) enters the 2AA playoffs with a five-game winning streak but injury concerns, and the road to a second straight Western final will be difficult. The fourth-seeded Hornets are in the “Midwest” pod with No. 1 Piedmont, No. 2 South Iredell and No. 5 West Stokes. No. 3 Pisgah is the only top-five seed in the “West” pod. Instead of a traditional No. 14 seed, Salisbury must face 10th-seeded North Surry (8-3) on Friday. A win likely would result in a second-round game at unbeaten South Iredell, which claimed the CVAC title thanks to a victory against Newton-Conover. Salisbury lost in overtime at Newton in last year’s state semifinals.  North Rowan (6-5) received a No. 5 seed in the Western half of the 1AA bracket because of its outright YVC title. It must play conference rival West Montgomery (6-5) for the second time in three weeks. Pierre Givens’ late kickoff return for a touchdown and game-ending interception helped North pull out a 26-22 win at home in the first meeting.

Everyone else runs out on the field armed only with a glove, but the catcher squats in foul territory like a knight with his thick mitt, helmet, face mask, chest protector and shin guards. Back in the 1920s, Muddy Ruel, a brilliant parttime lawyer who faced the challenge of catching Washington Senators fireballer Walter Johnson’s heaters, called catching gear “the tools of ignorance,” and that phrase is still part of baseball. Catchers are asked to block balls in the dirt, cut down potential base stealers, call and frame pitches and perform as amateur psychologists, keeping a wide variety of hurlers, ranging from lefty finesse pitchers to righty gasflingers, focused on the task at hand. And after all that, the catcher is asked to contribute on offense. One of the things that makes Thomas special is he handles all the defensive aspects of the position well and still swings the bat forcefully enough to be the cleanup hitter on a state championship team. “Luke’s worked at it like crazy for four years, and he’ll throw out 50 percent of your baserunners and still bring offense,” Hightower said. “That’s hard to beat.” Thomas hit .333 in limited varsity playing time as a sophomore. He finished his junior season at .370, but he was at .418 before he eventually wore down a bit from all the foul tips and collisions and tapered off in the postseason. Thomas finished 2009 with five homers, drove in 32 runs and was behind the plate for a team that won 31 of 33 games. He was a potent right-handed bat stationed between lefties Noah Holmes and Andy Austin. Even with Thomas’ average falling in the stretch run, Hightower stayed with him in the 4-spot, and his clutch 3-for-4 effort helped the Mustangs win the opener of their state title series against Wilson Hunt. East players enjoyed little rest before joining the Rowan County American Legion team, and Thomas’ mini-slump lingered a while. He broke out in a game at Stanly County on June 15. He was the DH that night, and his four hits included two homers and a double. He knocked in six runs in a 13-9 win. “Wingate was there for that game,” Thomas said. “They came back to see me again in the fall (Mustangs played on a team called the Eastern Rays), and then, when I went down for a visit, I just really liked every-

He had five homers and 30 RBIs in 105 at-bats. Playing just about every night in the heat was an adjustment, as was running the bases. In high school, courtesy runners can be employed for catchers. “The biggest adjustment of all as catcher was playing nine-inning games as opposed to seven,” Thomas said. “That’s a huge difference. It can wear on you.” Hightower said Thomas has made strides physically since his Legion summer. “Luke’s body has matured, he’s a strong kid, and he’s bench-pressing 270 now,” Hightower said. “He used to be a guy that when you timed him in the 60, you’d wait for a while, but he’s worked at it and has respectable footspeed now. I could see him playing first base or even left field in college to give him a break from catching.” Hightower’s certain Thomas will be even better behind the plate this spring. “He’s always been more than adequate,” Hightower. “But this fall, he was just darned impressive. His POP time (the time it takes a catcher’s throw to reach an infielder at second-base on a steal) is an even 2 seconds. And he still has more upside as far as his catching.” With Holmes and shortstop Preston Troutman moving on to Appalachian State, Thomas will be counted on even more as a senior. “We expect to be good again, and Luke’s obviously a huge part of that,” Hightower said. “He’s got great power gap to gap, and he’s working hard on cutting down on his strikeouts.” Wingate is getting a very good player. A year from now, he could be a great one. Thomas credits his parents for his success. “My dad has stayed on top of my baseball, and my mom is a teacher and has been the driving force on academics,” he said. “That’s a good combination.”

Injuries leave Heels in search of runners

N.C. State in control of ACC division race

BY AARON BEARD

Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina needs some healthy running backs — enough so that one player might burn his final year of eligibility to play in only a handful of games. The Tar Heels (6-3, 3-2 ACC) lost leading rusher Johnny White for the season to a broken collarbone in the weekend win at Florida State. Another tailback, Shaun Draughn, twisted an ankle and didn’t return to that game. With sophomore Hunter Furr as the only healthy tailback, coach Butch Davis is now revisiting whether to redshirt Ryan Houston or have the former short-yardage specialist return to the lineup this weekend against No. 16 Virginia Tech (7-2, 5-0). Houston missed the first five games amid the ongoing NCAA investigation into the program before being cleared to return. With White running well and Draughn returning earlier in the season, Davis planned to redshirt Houston and have him return as a fifth-year senior. If Houston returned this week, his final season would likely consist of just three regular-season games and a bowl. North Carolina is still technically alive in the ACC Coastal Division race to play in the league championship game, but the Tar Heels would need to win out and get plenty of help. “You have to ask yourself all the time: What’s the best thing we can do for our football team?” Davis said Monday. “It puts into play the success of the team versus a particular individual. We made the decision a couple of weeks ago, barring any unforeseen incidents, that we would’ve liked to have redshirted Ryan. Right now, we haven’t changed that opinion, but it could change.” Davis said Draughn was walking OK after the game, though he noted “there’s a difference between walking to the bus and running away from defenders.” Furr, a former Mount Tabor star, and fullback Anthony Elzy — who has played tailback — carried the ball late against the Seminoles to help set up the Casey Barth’s winning field goal. Davis said he spoke with Houston on Sunday and that the two would talk further this week. “This is a conversation we’ve had multiple times over the last three or four weeks, that you’ve got to stay sharp, you’ve got to go to the meetings, you’ve got to stay with the game plan,” Davis said. “And as each week had gone, the likelihood of us need him diminished. “If this happened four weeks ago, we’re not having this discussion because he’d have played six or seven games.” UNC quarterback T.J. Yates talked as though Draughn would be fine to play against the Hokies and that Draughn, Elzy and Furr would lead the ground game.

RALEIGH — N.C. State’s players and coaches believed they had let a golden opportunity slip away when they lost at Clemson. By the time they returned to campus, they felt rejuvenated. Thanks to Maryland’s loss to Miami and Florida State’s loss to North Carolina, the Wolfpack maintained control of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. If N.C. State (6-3, 3-2) wins its remaining three games, it will play in the ACC championship game on Dec. 4 in Charlotte. “It’s ‘Groundhog Day,’ ” N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien said Monday. “We wake up, and we’re where we started last week. We’ll see if we can finish it off and do a better job this time. “As I told the team, you hear coaches say it all the time that you don’t get a second chance on the football field. But we got a second chance, and we have to make the most of it this time because there is no margin for error now.” The Wolfpack’s second chance begins Saturday with a matchup against Wake Forest (2-7, 1-5).

Pirates hope to put loss to Navy in past Associated Press

GREENVILLE — East Carolina doesn’t have much time to dwell on its ugly loss to Navy. Coach Ruffin McNeill thinks that’s a good thing. The Pirates travel to UAB on Thursday, giving them just a few days to simmer over a 76-35 home loss. It was the secondmost points ever allowed by ECU and the most scored by any team in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. McNeill said he’s thankful for a short week after the Pirates couldn’t stop opposing rushing attacks for two straight games. “I look at this as a great opportunity for us as a football team,” McNeill said Monday. “The glass is always half full, to be able to come back from some adverse situations, and we’ve had two in a row. We can show what type of team we are and what we’re made of as a football team.” ECU (5-4, 4-1 C-USA) is still alive in its pursuit of a third straight league championship, but the Pirates are a game be-

hind UCF and lost there two weekends ago. The Pirates can also become bowl eligible for the fifth straight season by winning Thursday night. GEORGIA TECH ATLANTA — Coach Paul Johnson hopes senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt can play one last game for Georgia Tech despite undergoing arm surgery. Nesbitt, who broke his right forearm in a loss last week at Virginia Tech, told Johnson he wants to return in a few weeks for a final start if Georgia Tech becomes eligible for a bowl. FLORIDA STATE TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State’s Christian Ponder is still troubled with an elbow injury on his throwing arm. Ponder visited with doctors Monday about soreness and swelling in it. MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez says he expects quarterback Denard Robinson (symptoms of a concussion with headaches and dizziness) to play Purdue.

this week after a favor from the rival Tar Heels. Knowing that Miami already had handed Maryland its second league loss, the Wolfpack constantly checked the North Carolina-Florida State score on their cell phones while riding the bus back from the airport on the way home from Clemson. When Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins’ 40-yard field-goal try sailed wide right with two seconds remaining, N.C. State’s players celebrated with just as much excitement as North Carolina’s. “We all went nuts,” left tackle Jake Vermiglio said. “That was the first time I think any of us have ever rooted for UNC. That was crazy.” The Wolfpack would rather win their own games the rest of the way, but they’ll have to do so without their kicker. Josh Czajkowski will miss the rest of the regular season with a hamstring injury. O’Brien said Czajkowski was hurt in the fourth quarter of the 14-13 Clemson loss during Marcus Gilchrist’s 76-yard kickoff return. OBrien said two players will compete for the job: freshman Chris Hawthorne and junior J. Ellis Flint.

Jones fires Phillips

Goodell says players will not decide fines Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Sorry, Troy Polamalu. Commissioner Roger Goodell says active NFL players won’t be deciding punishment for flagrant hits that merit fines. Goodell wants to hear their opinions, though. The commissioner said Monday the league has been opposed to allowing active players or team officials to get involved in deciding punishments. The league recently increased its enforcement of rules against flagrant hits. Polamalu has been outspoken against the crackdown, saying it has caused paranoia around the league. He suggested last week that current players and team officials should be involved in deciding punishments. Goodell indicated that's not going to happen. PACKERS GREEN BAY, Wis. — The NFL fined safety Nick Collins $50,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Dallas receiver Roy Williams. The Packers have released veteran cornerback Al Harris, cutting short his attempt to return to the field after a serious knee injury. COLTS NEW YORK — The NFL will not hand out any discipline for the hit that gave Indianapolis wide receiver Austin Collie a concussion in Philadelphia on Sunday. Collie was hit by Eagles safety Quintin Mikell, then took a shot to the helmet from fellow safety Kurt Coleman’s helmet in the second quarter. Collie briefly lost consciousness and was taken off the field by stretcher. Coleman was penalized for unnecessary roughness. DOLPHINS DAVIE, Fla. — Coach Tony Sparano said he wants the NFL to investigate the Dolphins’ complaint that Baltimore fullback Le’Ron McClain spat in the face of linebacker Channing Crowder.

McClain denied doing it, but a video replay from WFOR-TV in Miami appeared to confirm the incident, and Sparano said he verified it. After the game, Crowder was so upset about the confrontation he mixed up his historical figures, complaining the officials had eyesight comparable to Stevie Wonder and Anne Frank. When reporters confused by the reference to Frank further queried Crowder, it became clear he meant Helen Keller instead. “Is that the blind girl?” Crowder said. “Helen Keller? I don’t know. ... I’m mad right now. I’m not as swift as I usually am.” BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — Coach Eric Mangini isn’t ready to hand the offensive reins over to rookie quarterback Colt McCoy just yet, but Mangini said McCoy is “making the decision harder and harder” about who should start. Mangini wants to wait to see what kind of progress injured quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme have made. 49ERS SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Troy Smith is approaching this week as if he will remain San Francisco’s starting QB. LIONS ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Matthew Quarterback Stafford is again recovering from a right shoulder injury, and coach Jim Schwartz says the team will be cautious with the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft. REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — Return man Brandon Banks is expected to miss two to three weeks after having knee surgery during the bye week. GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Center Adam Koets tore ligaments in his knee and will miss the rest of the season. CHIEFS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Linebacker Derrick Johnson has signed a five-year contract extension that includes a $15 million guarantee.

Pittsburgh finishes with leg up on rival BY JOE KAY Associated Press

CINCINNATI — At the end of a night full of Steelers 27 foibles, tricks missed Bengals 21 and chances, the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to their one constant to finish it off. That unyielding defense came through again. James Harrison and Ryan Clark stripped the ball away from Jordan Shipley near the 5-yard line on Cincinnati’s final play, preserving a 27-21 victory over the Bengals on Monday that left the AFC North with an old, familiar look. The Steelers (6-2) are again at the top, sharing the spot with Baltimore. The defending-champion Bengals (2-6) are in last place alone after their fifth straight loss, coming up one completion short. Credit that last rib-jolting hit — legal all-around — by the Steelers’ on-the-spot defenders. “The defense held strong,” said Ben Roethlisberger, who was 17 of 27 for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception that helped the Bengals rally at the end. “This is how the Steelers play ball,” Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor said. “We might get a blowout here and there. But we’re always in tough close ballgames. As a defense we just want to close them out. That’s what we did

tonight.” Pittsburgh seemed to be in control when Antwaan Randle El threw a 39-yard touchdown pass off a trick play to open the fourth quarter, building a 27-7 lead made possible by the Bengals’ many mistakes. Pittsburgh also had points set up by a fumbled kickoff, a blocked punt and a missed field goal. Then, the Steelers turned sloppy as well. Roethlisberger threw an interception that set up Terrell Owens’ second touchdown catch of the game, and Jeff Reed missed a 46-yard field goal try that would have clinched it with 3:59 to go. The drama had just begun. Carson Palmer led the Bengals downfield with the help of a wacky play. His pass to Cedric Benson was tipped, but the running back made a juggling catch for a 1 6 - yard gain on third-and-long. Chad Ochocinco’s only catch of the game moved it to the 12-yard line. On fourth-and-5, Palmer found Shipley open over the middle in first-down range, but the two Steelers converged and squeezed the ball out to end it. It was fitting that Harrison had a shoulder in the final play. He got his third fine of the season, this one pushing the total to $100,000, for a hit last week on the Saints’ Drew Brees. The linebacker got summoned to Commissioner Roger Goodell’s office for a meeting.

IRVING, Texas — Jerry Jones never wanted to change coaches this season. As the blowout losses mounted and Wade Phillips’ defense was mostly to blame, the owner-general manager of the Dallas Cowboys had no choice. Jones fired Phillips on Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take over the 1-7 club on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni was promoted to replace Phillips’ other role as defensive coordinator. Jones decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. It was the Cowboys’ PHILLIPS fifth straight loss and the third straight that wasn’t even close. “I recognized that after the game we just weren’t playing winning football, and our best chance was to make a change,” Jones said. This is the first time Dallas has made an inseason coaching change. Garrett also becomes the first former Cowboys player to take over the job previously held by the likes of Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells. The 44-year-old Garrett has never been a head coach on any level. Yet he sure seemed ready judging by the confidence displayed at his introductory news conference. “Wade is no longer the coach. I am the coach and what we’re going to do going forward (is) get ready to have a great meeting, a great walkthrough and a great practice on Wednesday and give ourselves a chance to beat the Giants on Sunday,” Garrett said. Garrett certainly is different from Phillips — younger, offensive-oriented and far more businesslike. He made it clear things will be done his way without giving many specifics. “There’ll be some changes that I think will be tangible that people in our organization will notice right from the start,” Garrett said. “I just think the personality of the leader will come through a little bit.” Jones steadfastly supported Phillips throughout the team’s tailspin, even saying late last week that he wouldn’t make a coaching change this season. He said Monday he’d been “in denial” about how bad the club really is. The first five losses had all been by a touchdown or less, which showed players were still fighting. But now the defense has allowed at least 35 points in three straight games, which hadn’t happened since Dallas went 0-11-1 in its inaugural season, 1960. Stranger still, the unit — personally overseen by Phillips — features nearly all the same players who closed last season with the first back-to-back shutouts in club history. “It really was paramount in my thinking that we would make adjustments and have our defense more productive,” Jones said. This is the Cowboys’ worst season since 1989. It’s destined to be among the worst in franchise history considering Dallas was coming off a division title and a playoff win.

Davis confident he’ll return to Carolina Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis determined it “wasn’t worth the risk” to try to play this season after two major knee surgeries in less than a year, but he is confident the Panthers will re-sign him. H e a d coach John DAVIS Fox announced Monday they wouldn’t activate Davis from the physically unable to perform list by Wednesday’s deadline and would instead place him on season-ending injured reserve. “It was a joint decision and, ultimately, and I appreciate them for this, they left it up to me,” Davis said at halftime of

Monday’s San Antonio-Charlotte NBA game. “They left me the option of whether I wanted to do it, and I made the decision to go ahead and shut it down.” The speedy weakside linebacker was having a breakout season in 2009 when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in a November game against New Orleans. He was making a rapid recovery seven months later — clocked at 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash — when he suffered the same injury in a June workout. The Panthers didn’t put him on IR, and Davis had said he was determined to play this season despite Carolina (1-7) being in the midst of a terrible season. But Davis acknowledged his knee still isn’t 100 percent. “It’s very tough. I know how much hard work I’ve put in,” Davis said. “But even bigger than that, I know how much I want to be out there

MOORE FroM 1B Clausen has one touchdown pass, four interceptions, two lost fumbles and a 48 passer rating. Pike, a sixth-round draft pick from Cincinnati, took over and was 6-for-12 for 47 yards against the Saints. None of the three QBs led the Panthers into the end zone Sunday, leaving them with 88 points at the halfway point of the season. Failing to reach double digits in points in half their games, they’re on pace to score 176 points. That’s not far off from the pace that would leave them in the top PIKE five for fewest points in a season since the 16-game schedule was adopted in 1978. None of the QBs were made available to reporters Monday. “We’re just out of sorts a little bit,” Fox said. “Whether it be somebody seeing the right read, turning the protection the right way, throwing the ball accurately.” While Fox said signing another quarterback is unlikely because “I’m not sure there’s a huge list available right now,” he’s ready to experiment. Fox said third-round pick Armanti Edwards, a college quarterback at Appalachian State who had been converted to receiver,

with my teammates week in and week out. I think of how much work we’ve put in to get this thing going, and it’s just not happening right now.” The move means Davis will enter free agency not only with the uncertainty surrounding the expiring collective bargaining agreement but not having played in more than a year. Davis believes he’ll be in Carolina next season. “That was a concern going in, but I know what I’m capable of,” Davis said. “I have the utmost respect for the organization, and I feel like they’re going to do a great job of handling the free agency situation. I’ve pretty much been assured by them that I’m going to be a Panther, so I hope that it all works out.” Asked if staying in Carolina was what he wanted, Davis didn’t hesitate. “Definitely,” he said.

would get some snaps at QB in practice this week. “If we did not bring in another quarterback, he would be the next best emergency quarterback that we have,” Fox said of Edwards. The embattled Fox also has problems at linebacker. Connor was playing well in EDWARDS his first full season as a starter but will have surgery this week to put a plate and screws in his hip. Davis, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament for the second time in June, had been hoping to come off the physically unable to perform list by Wednesday’s deadline. “It’s been 51⁄2 months and I think in his best interest I wouldn’t want to rush that and risk another injury,” Fox said on the decision to place Davis on IR. Fox indicated Beason, who made the Pro Bowl last season at middle linebacker, would likely move back there, with Jordan Senn a candidate to replace him at weakside. “I did feel rusty going back” Sunday, Beason said. “There are some things I’ve got to get cleaned up.” It means more headaches for Fox, who tried to backtrack from a day earlier when he seemed to blame the front office for offseason moves that slashed payroll and left Carolina as the NFL’s youngest team. “That by no means is an indictment of our personnel by any stretch,” Fox said. “I like our football team. I wish we were playing better.”

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY – MID-SOUTH EXPANSION – FERC DOCKET NO. CP11-18

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco), a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams Partners L.P. (Williams), owns and operates an interstate natural gas pipeline system that transports natural gas primarily from Gulf Coast production areas to markets in the Southern, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. Transco has been providing transportation service to these regions for more than 50 years.

In order to serve increasing energy demand in the Southern United States, Williams is proposing to expand certain segments of its existing Transco pipeline system in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, to provide additional firm transportation service capacity of 225,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas. On October 29, 2010, Transco filed an application for approval of its proposed Mid-South Expansion project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This federal proceeding is referenced as FERC Docket No. CP11-18. As part of the Mid-South Expansion project, Transco is proposing to construct and operate the following facilities to expand its existing pipeline system in Rowan County, North Carolina: Rowan Loop: 2.95 miles of 42-inch pipeline loop running from White Road, approximately 1 mile northerly of Hwy. 150 and terminating at the existing valve setting on Sherrills Ford Road near the N.C. Agriculture Research Station.

If approved, the proposed facilities for the Mid-South Expansion project would be placed into service in two phases. Phase 1 would increase capacity by 95,000 dekatherms per day by Sept. 1, 2012, while Phase II would increase capacity by 130,000 dekatherms per day by June 1, 2013. Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. A complete copy of Transcoʼs application to the FERC for the Mid-South Expansion project is available for public review at: North Davidson Library 559 Critcher Drive Lexington, NC 27295 (336) 242-2050

Williams will mail notices to landowners whose properties touch or are adjacent to the pipeline looping work corridor or right of way; to landowners within one-half mile of the work site where new compressor facilities are being proposed; and to governmental agencies, describing the proposed Mid-South Expansion Project. Williams will also provide landowners with additional information, including a copy of the FERC brochure titled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?.” This brochure, which answers many frequently asked questions, may also be obtained from the FERC website at www.ferc.gov. Questions pertaining to interstate pipeline facility proceedings may be directed to FERCʼs Office of External Affairs at (202) 502-6088 or by mail at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426. More information about the Mid-South Expansion Project may be obtained by contacting Brad Lushbaugh, Land Representative, at 345 Greenbrier Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901 or at (434) 964-2105. Information on the Mid-South Expansion Project is also available by contacting Williams at (866) 455-9103, by e-mail at pipelineexpansion@williams.com, or on the Internet at www.williams.com/midsouth.

Alternative diagnosis, treatment for mouth ulcers

Tuesday, Nov. 9 There is a strong possibility that you will establish two huge objectives for yourself in the near future, and because they’re unrelated, you’ll have a better than average chance to succeed. One pertains to your work, the other to your social life. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Build on that strong new foundation that you recently laid, because its prospects for long-term success look better than anything else you have going. Get busy for prosperous tomorrows. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Set an example of being up front about a serious matter that needs to be decided, and the others will follow. You’ll feel better about the decision if everybody has a hand in it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Those who care about you will be pulling for you from behind the scenes and doing what they can to help you out. You may not even be aware of all their effort. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Initially you might start your day wanting to do your own thing, but as time passes, you could find yourself getting more gregarious and desiring some friendship. Keep your options open. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t hesitate to try to breath new life into a situation that everybody thinks is dead. Your ability to do so is better than even you anticipate, and you’ll know it when you begin your work. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Your analytical faculties are extremely sharp, but instead of using them to spot another’s shortcomings in order to get one over on him/her, use them to help this person. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — A joint interest that seems to vacillate periodically might become more clearly defined. For the first time you may see the advantages of the glue that is keeping you together. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — A partnership situation that has been questionable at best is not apt to let you down when push comes to shove. You’ll find it nice to know that the relationship is a healthy one. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — A co-worker is likely to do a job for you that s/he would rather not, all because of the way you ask. It’s your friendliness toward this person that is so effective. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something in which you’re presently involved can be reorganized in ways that will make it function far better, and you’re the one who knows how to do this. Don’t hold back what you know will work. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The only way you’re likely to get a handle on a perplexing development is to trace it back to its beginnings. The answer you are looking for is to be found at its very core. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The pleasant manner in which you treat others is the main reason you can sway them to your way of thinking when it is important for you to do so. They are responding to your friendliness, so smile it up. Trying to patch up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you understand what to do to make the relationship work. Send for your Matchmaker set by mailing $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Keep trump length sufficiently long BY PHILLIP ALDER

Dear Dr. Gott: I am writing in reference to the 46-yearold woman who was diagnosed with Behcet's disease in Memphis, Tenn. In my mid-40s, I kept having recurring mouth sores. I could have from two to 30 at a time. This made speech and eating difficult. I went to many doctors in the area (also in Memphis) and was diagnosed with many things, including mouth thrush, vitamin B deficiency, an ulcerated digestive system from DR. PETER mouth to anus GOTT and an allergic reaction to peanuts and fried foods. No one could give me any relief, and everywhere I went, I received a different diagnosis. I decided to go to a chiropractor to see if there might be anything he could do for me. He took an X-ray and told me that a nerve in my neck could be causing the sores. When I began getting adjustments to my neck and spine, my sores went away. I have

been sore-free for several years now and can live a normal life again. I just wanted to share my story with my reader to remind her that not all diagnoses are correct and that she might want to consider a chiropractor. It worked wonders for me. Dear Reader: I am printing your letter for several reasons. First, you are correct that not all diagnoses are accurate. Second, your situation is totally new to me. Finally, you offer a possible treatment option. Chiropractors are oftenoverlooked medical professionals and, based on letters from my readers, are a great source of healing. Most chiropractic treatments are safe or relatively side-effect free. (There are exceptions, such as for people who have clotting disorders or cancer.) A chiropractor can't replace a general physician, but if these two professionals work together, patients stand the best chance of getting appropriate, effective care. Thank you for writing and sharing your experience. I hope others can benefit from your advice.

Dear Dr. Gott: Why do you write about so many esoteric diseases and medical conditions, many of which must affect only a handful of people? Surely you haven't covered all of the subjects of interest to a general audience. I only rarely find any subjects of interest in your columns, and I'm an old dude with a number of issues. Dear Reader: The issues covered in my column aren't esoteric at all. The purpose of my column is to help by providing interesting information, facts, treatments, etc., regarding common, uncommon and rare disorders. I often cover conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, urinary-tract infections and more, but I also get questions about little talked about, little known or rare conditions that, frankly, I find interesting to research and discuss. I hope that by sharing these letters in my column, common knowledge about these disorders will increase and might help prevent some of the painful, frustrating situations that people with these disorders find themselves in during the diagnosis process.

Without knowing what "issues" you have, I cannot begin to discuss them. However, I will try to cover some of the most common conditions that occur as we age in a future column, just for you. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports "Hypertension," "Understanding Cholesterol" and "Osteoarthritis." Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope (or two) and a check or money order for $2 per report payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O.

OJ Simpson’s legal team gets more time for appeal LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court has agreed to give attorneys representing former football star O.J. Simpson more time to try to overturn his armed robbery and kidnapping conviction.

The court refused last month to overturn Simpson’s 2008 conviction stemming from a gunpoint heist in a Las Vegas hotel room. Justices rejected a claim that prospective jurors were dismissed because they were

black. The deadline to ask for a new hearing was Monday, but attorneys Malcom LaVergne and Yale Galanter asked for seven more days to seek a rehearing. The court gave them until

Nov. 16. Simpson is serving nine to 33 years at a state prison in Lovelock, 90 miles northeast of Reno. His legal team says the remote location makes communicating with their client difficult.

Elaine Gill said, “If you have any doubts that we live in a society controlled by men, try reading down the index of contributors to a volume of quotations, looking for women’s names.” There is at least one — hers. If you have any doubts that suit contracts are controlled by trumps, keep reading this week. In this four-spade contract, West leads off with the diamond ace and diamond king. How would you plan the play? When North raises to two spades, you add two points for your singleton and jump to game. You have only three losers: one heart, one diamond and one club. You also have 10 tricks: five spades, two hearts and three clubs. It looks so easy to ruff at trick two, draw trumps, drive out the club ace, and claim. However, with this layout you should fail. With the 41 trump break, you cannot draw all of the trumps, because you will have none left. Instead, you must shift to clubs, but West can duck the first round, take the second, and, noting his partner’s high-low, give his partner a club ruff. You will still have a heart loser and go down one. You should be happy to trade one loser for another because it keeps your trump-holding intact. You should discard a heart at trick two, making a loseron-loser play.

Whether West persists with a third diamond (you ruff in the dummy) or shifts (you win the trick), you can draw trumps and knock out the club ace. You still have a spade in your hand to ruff a diamond return.
