Authorities seek leads in man’s death

Two life sentences Lambert killed pair of men after arguing in downtown bar

Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Monday investigators still aren’t sure how a man died whose body was discovered Sunday in a creek running through City Park. Collins identified the man as 42-year-old Richard Carl Reeder of Glenwood Avenue in Salisbury. Friends and family identified the man as Reeder on Sunday, but police would not confirm that until Monday afternoon. “Though police suspected that this was who they were dealing with yesterday, in an effort to be cautious, they elected to await an official ruling from the Medical Examiner’s office before making this information available,” Collins said in a press release. A church bus driver, stopping to pick up children along North Jackson Street for Sunday services, noticed Reeder’s body lying in the shallow creek on the far eastern end of the park around 9:30 a.m. People who gathered Sunday on a North Jackson Street sidewalk, including Reeder’s stepfather and uncle, said they believed he was a victim of foul play. They said Reeder did not have his wallet, a cell phone or shoes. His leather jacket was off and located at a drainage pipe several feet from where the body was found, the men said. The neighbors and family members who saw the body said Reeder had injuries to his face. Police took a 2-by-4 board

Larry Thomas Andrews Sr. used to spend every Thursday night with his son. Now, instead of kicking back and fishing with Larry “Rudy” Thomas Andrews Jr., he feels “lost and devastated.” “I’m just lost now,” Andrews said Monday, referring to the death of his son. The junior Andrews and his classmate from Davidson County Community College, Mickey Wayne Jordan, were shot to death in downtown Salisbury in June after a scuffle over a pool table at Benchwarmers, 113 E. Fisher St. John Curtis Lambert pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in Rowan County Superior Court on Monday. Superior Court Judge Calvin Murphy of Charlotte sentenced Lambert, 30, of China Grove, to two consecutive life sentences in prison without patrol. The death penalty was on the table if Lambert had been convicted by a jury. Instead, Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly arranged a plea agreement that would ensure Lambert spends the rest of his life behind bar. Kenerly said that although one life sentence would keep Lambert in jail for life, he asked Murphy to consider two life sentences rather to make a “statement to the community.” Although family members were still leaning toward capital punishment they said they are content with the outcome of Monday’s hearing. Andrews’ oldest sister, Tonya Angell, said she knows her brother would be happy with the decision. “My brother was not a vindictive kind of person,” she said. “He would have shook (Lambert’s) hand and told him, ‘It’s all good man, it’s OK.’ ” • • • Kenerly called Salisbury Police Detective Russell DeSantis to the stand to testify Monday. DeSantis described details of the shooting, saying after a verbal altercation between Lambert and Jordan ensued at Benchwarmers, Lambert was kicked out of the bar. After leaving the bar, he went to his girlfriend’s house at 801 N. Main St. where he obtained a .45-caliber handgun before returning to a parking lot on Fisher Street to wait for Jordan and Andrews to exit the bar. When the men left in Jordan’s green Chevrolet Trailblazer, heading north on South Main Street, Lambert followed closely behind in his white Toyota pickup. As they approached the intersection of Main and Innes streets, Lambert fired nine times, hitting Jordan and Andrews. DeSantis said when Salisbury Police arrived, Andrews was dead and Jordan was drifting in and out of consciousness. Jordan was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, where he died nine days later. A passenger in the back seat, Anthony Parker, was not injured. DeSantis said during an interview with Lambert he learned there had been “bad blood” between him and Jordan for several years and Jor-

Woman steps in front of train KANNAPOLIS — An Amtrak passenger train struck and killed an 18-year-old near downtown Monday afternoon. Capt. Chuck Adams of the Kannapolis Police Department said Stephanie Nichole Ennis, 314 Windrose Lane SW, Concord, apparently intended to step in front of the oncoming train. “From witness statements, she stepped into the path of the train,” Adams said. The incident happened around 1:15 p.m. behind businesses in the 900 block of North Main Street, not far from the Kannapolis train depot and just across Main from the N.C. Research Campus. The engineer sounded the northbound train’s horn when he saw the woman on the track, Adams said. The train eventually stopped slightly north of the Dale Earnhardt Boulevard overpass.

Three candidates are on the short list to replace Jack Thomson and lead the Historic Salisbury Foundation. This week, a search committee will interview the finalists. The Historic Salisbury Foundation Board of Trustees could name a new executive director as early as Friday. Thomson took a job in September as executive director for the Preservation Society of Asheville & Buncombe County. The search committee received about 80 resumes from all over the country, said Susan Sides, committee chair and vice president for the Board of Trustees. The finalists all have a “very strong preservation background, both in education and employment,” she said. “Any of the three will be most exciting to lead us forward,” Sides said. The foundation board will meet and vote Thursday night after the last interview. Sides said the dozens of candidates for the job had a detailed understanding of Salisbury’s historic preservation efforts, which are well-known across the country. Many candidates wrote about Salisbury’s reputation as a community of people who care about their past, she said. “People in the preservation field know Salisbury,” she

Group of friendly pool players spreads cheer BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

For about 14 years, a group of friends has met weekly at the home of Bob Lewis to play pool on a table in his basement. Lewis, a Salisbury resident, gave to the Christmas Happiness Fund this year in honor of that Wednesday night pool group, the Order of the Silver Slipper. Though not everyone attends every week, there are about a dozen current members of the order, and some of them have been coming since it began. Lewis retired from First Presbyterian Church as its pastor in 2002, and he said many of the order’s members are members of that church. He now directs the Doctor of Ministry program at Hood Theological Seminary. The order’s unique name originates with the Cole Haan penny loafers some of the original members used to buy. “At that time, Cole Haan had a keychain with a silver slipper on it, so we got a good number of those silver slipToday’s forecast 31º/14º Sunny skies, frigid temps

pers,” Lewis said. “When we inducted someone into the membership of the order, we gave them a silver slipper.” He said the company has since discontinued the keychain. “There are a few newer people in the Order of the Silver Slipper without silver slippers,” he said, laughing. The members also give each other memorable nicknames — Lewis answers to “The Man.” Not only does the group laugh and play together, but its members also help each other in times of need. “If any one of us in trouble, he has a whole group of friends to stand with him,” Lewis said. Lewis donated last year in honor of the order, as well, but he didn’t use its official name. He said he chose to give to Christmas Happiness because he believes in its cause and the children it helps. “I’m very concerned about the homeless and hungry and those that are not as privileged as we are,” he said. “I think we’ve got to give something back. This group is made up of people who

LIBERTY (AP) — A company that makes custom color solutions used in polymers plans to open a North Carolina manufacturing plant that will employ about 70 workers within three years. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office said Monday that Americhem will receive a $225,000 grant from taxpayers if it meets targets on the $23 million project. The plant is slated to open in the Randolph County town of Liberty. Americhem employs nearly 130 at Concord. Americhem’s average annual wage for the new jobs will be more than $35,000 plus benefits, higher than the county average of about $29,000.

While Clement laid the foundation 40 years ago, Thomson’s six-year tenure is credited with changing the image of Historic Salisbury from stodgy to youthful and politically active.

Hearing held as part of accreditation process BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Only three Salisbury residents showed up to the public information and comment session at the Salisbury Police Department Monday night, which is a part of the department’s reaccreditation process. The department is seeking it’s seventh re-accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). The Salisbury Police Department has to comply with 464 standards in order to gain accredited status, and is the “most significant advancement that a law enforcement agency can accomplish.” “While maintaining high standards is important, the

most meaningful achievement is the enhanced level of service that is provided to the community,” Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said. The assessment team arrived in Salisbury on Saturday, and has reviewed written materials, interviewed people and visited offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed. Assessors Capt. Bruce Robertson with the Centerville Police Department of Centerville, Ohio, and Capt. Nancy Dietz with the Wilmington Department of Police, in Wilmington, Del., led the information session and comment section Monday night. DeeDee Wright was one of two residents to speak, and came to support “Salisbury’s finest,” she said, but added she had concerns about the department. Her concerns included the low pay of Salisbury Police officers, the growing population versus the number of officers, and in-service training of the officers. “I don’t know how much inservice training is given to our officers,” she said, and sug-

dan was the intended target of the shooting. “He intended to kill Mickey Jordan; he didn’t even know Andrews’ name,” DeSantis said. • • • After submitting the guilty plea, Lambert’s attorney James Davis spoke about Lambert. He dropped out of school after finishing 10th grade at South Rowan High School. He went on to get his GED from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and was working as an exterminator at the time of the shooting. Davis addressed family and friends in attendance. “There is nothing that I could say, nothing that John Lambert can say that will make things right,” he said. Davis thanked the families for their mercy in not seeking the death penalty and talked about Lambert’s future. “My hope is that the sum of John Lambert’s life is not the events on June 27,” he said. “I hope he can go on to help others and have meaning and purpose in life.” Next, Lambert spoke to the families. “I just want to apologize to everyone that I’ve hurt,” he said. “I wish every day that I could turn back the clock and do things differently. “I just want to tell y’all I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.” Angell said she didn’t feel Lambert’s sentiments were sincere. “I really don’t think he Contact Sarah Campbell at meant it.” she said. 704-797-7683.

She said after the arraignment in August, she saw a picture of Lambert in the Salisbury Post with what she considered to be an unfazed look on his face. • • • During the hearing, several family members spoke. Angell spoke of her brother’s kind nature, telling Lambert because of him he’ll never get to take his nephew hunting or have children of his own. “He’d give you the shirt off his back,” she said. Judy Andrews, Andrews’ stepmother, spoke of how her husband spent Thursdays with his son. “That was their day,” she said. “The last Thursday my husband got to see his son, there was not conversation, he was holding his hand telling him he loved him as he was being buried.” Judy Andrews said the murders were a “senseless act” and a “cowardly” thing to do. “I have no anger toward your family, but I have so much hatred in my heart toward you. She said she needs prayers to get past her hatred so that she can see her stepson again in heaven. Angell shared similar sentiments. “John, I can promise you Rudy is in heaven right now and I hope I am up there with him one day, but I have to ask God to forgive me of my hard feelings.” Angell said when she sees he brother in heaven she already knows what he’ll say. “It’s all good,” she said.

Civil court dismisses domestic violence protection order against Alicia Bean

Confederate Street Fire

Staff report

MARK WineKA/SALISBURY POST

Fire heavily damaged this split-level home at 521 Confederate Ave. early Monday afternoon. The fire started in the back upstairs portion of the house. No one was injured.

Cause of blaze may have been electrical BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

Fire swept through the back portion of a Confederate Avenue home early Monday afternoon, causing heavy damage. Reacting to an in-home smoke alarm, owner Richard Prim moved quickly to an upstairs back office, where flames already were enveloping a corner of the room. Prim retrieved a blanket and tried to use it to stop the fire from spreading, but the blanket caught fire. Prim was able to call 911, collect his two dogs and make it out of the house safely. He briefly considered going back for car keys to move his vehicle away from the house, but the smoke and fire were by then too intense. He said he thought the fire was electrical in nature. His wife, Dr. Constance Stanton, was not at home at the time. “This morning the lights kind of flickered,” Prim said, thinking at the time it was just

A domestic violence protection order against a former mayor of Spencer was dismissed in Rowan County civil court Monday. Alicia Bean’s husband, Tony Bean, dropped the 50B order he had taken out against her Oct. 22. Although the 50B was dismissed, both Tony and Alicia agreed to a consent order to stay away from and not communicate with each other except when allowed by the court. Tony Bean took out the 50B order about a month after Alicia Bean’s Sept. 19 attempted suicide while under “homicide and suicide watch” at LifeWorks Behavioral Health Center, according to Tony Bean. Tony Bean listed the attempted suicide in the 50B. Tony Bean also filed for divorce Nov. 22. According to the domestic violence protective order, Alicia Bean on Oct. 20 “told people that she would kill (Tony Bean) and his family.” A Rowan County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to serve the order Oct. 29 at Rowan Regional Medical Center or Alicia Bean’s home. The deputy wrote “defendant is on life support at RRMC” to explain why the service was unsuccessful. It is not clear who provided that information to the deputy. Spencer police attempted on Sept. 17 to serve an order for Alicia Bean’s arrest, stemming from the incident in May 2009 when she held law enforcement officers at

bay with a gun at her Spencer home. Officers had responded to a suicide threat. Bean, 42 at the time, was taken into custody and placed in a state mental hospital. Upon her release from the hospital, Bean was BEAN charged with assaulting law enforcement officers. She was released on $5,000 secured bond in December 2009. Conditions of her release required her to live with her mother in Salisbury. The terms were later amended to allow Bean to live with her sister in Spencer. But the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office then alleged Bean had violated the terms of her release by living alone. A hearing was set for Sept. 16 in Rowan County Superior Court. Bean did not appear, and the order for her arrest was issued. Spencer Police Chief Michael James, Sgt. Martin Brigman and Officer Jeremy Crews the next day went to Bean’s home to serve the order but learned from her mother that Bean was not there, James said. Bean attempted suicide two days later. Bean held elected office in Spencer for six years — two years as alderwoman, two as mayor pro tem and two as mayor. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246. Emily Ford contributed to this story.

Food distribution to Rowan residents is today at Salisbury Civic Center From his driveway, homeowner Richard Prim (blue coat) describes to a Salisbury firefighter how quickly a fire swept through the back of his house early Monday afternoon. a non-threatening electrical issue connected to the day’s windy conditions. Investigators with the Salisbury Fire Department were preparing to go through the house once all the hot spots were taken care of. Fire Chief Bob Parnell said the fire started in the back right portion of the house, a split-level designed by late Salisbury architect John Ramsay. The house is located at 521 Confederate Ave., between Brownrigg and Richmond roads. Units first responded to the fire about 1:05 p.m. Arrangements were being made with the American Red

icant fire, smoke and water damage. Personnel from Salisbury, Ellis Crossroad, Spencer, Granite Quarry, Rowan Rescue and Salisbury Police Department worked the scene. Additional units were called immediately because of the day’s freezing temperatures and high winds, Battalion Chief David Morris said. Granite Quarry and South Salisbury provided additional coverage for Salisbury while units were committed to Confederate Avenue.

Kannapolis OKs bonds, moves forward with health department plan KANNAPOLIS – The Kannapolis City Council voted unanimously to take advantage of a provision allowing the forthcoming $35 million bond issue to include $26.6 million in Build America bonds. Those are a special kind of bond subsidized in part by the federal government as part of the stimulus bill. "Right now, the savings that we see would be approximately $2.1 million over the

17-year life of the loan,” Kannapolis Finance Director Eric Davis said. The alternative would be to use standard revenue bonds to borrow these funds. That would mean a slightly lower up-front cost in fees, Davis said, but the city would pay out more in interest over the life of the loan. Ever since the economic downturn struck in 2008, Kannapolis has struggled to finance millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements – water lines, paving and other updates – largely

spurred by the N.C. Research Campus. Right now, the U.S. government is paying a 35 percent tax subsidy, designed to spur more investors. City Manager Mike Legg told the council that Build America bonds have created about $2.6 billion of dollars of investments around the state. "Just about every local government you can think of in North Carolina has invested in these," Legg said. And Davis said that the interest rates the city will have

to pay on these bonds are lower than anticipated. "We're actually seeing a decreased cost" using that method, he said. If the federal government should decide to end the subsidy in a future year, Legg said the city would refinance the loan with tax-exempt bonds with no penalty. Underwriting fees? Haas asked. Are they comparable? "We're going to see roughly a million dollars less in costs to us over the life of the loan." Cabarrus County will

share in the savings. Half the county’s property tax proceeds from a downtown district including the Research Campus will go to repay the debt, starting in 2013. In return, Kannapolis will use $13.5 million of the loan to build a new facility in the city for the Cabarrus Health Alliance. The county would ordinarily be responsible for building a new health department building. The council also voted unanimously to approve the

project ordinance for the Cabarrus Health Alliance building, which will be collateral for the city’s bond sale. Kannapolis City Attorney Wally Safrit said that the health department wants to construct the building. Under the project ordinance, the Cabarrus Health Alliance will act as the city’s agent to build the building, then will lease and operate it as if they owned it. When the bonds are paid off, the city will likely sell

Commissioners delay Police investigators looking for three possible restructuring people passing counterfeit $100 bills of Rowan County Senior Services Dept. “The working relationship with Leslie and her staff could not have been any better,” said Fox. “We’ve had two years of a great, efficient audit.” The county’s revenues have decreased, Fox said, but so have its expenditures. Both decreases were expected and budgeted. Fox noted that the county had net gains in both enterprise funds for the airport and the landfill. After the presentation, Sides said the county isn’t in the business of making money, and that income is being set aside for anticipated expenses. Barber drew attention to the fact that the county spent about $1.3 million from its fund balance in fiscal year 2010. “We had planned to budget dipping into our fund balance by $7.5 million,” Barber said. “It turned out we didn’t have to dip into it that far. ... I attribute that to the fact that our staff and directors did an excellent job of controlling expenses and giving that money back.” As of June 30, the county had about $31 million in its fund balance. Fox said this is about 25 percent of its general fund expenditures, much higher than the 8 percent required by the Local Government Commission. The county drew in slightly more revenue from property taxes than in fiscal year 2009, due to a larger tax base. Sales tax revenue has decreased steadily over the past three years, but Fox said he expects some stabilization in 2011 and hopefully a slight increase in 2012. Expenses on human services, eduation and public safety have all decreased slightly since fiscal year 2009, while debt service has increased.

A possible restructuring of the Rowan County Senior Services Department has been delayed for 60 days. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Monday to table the decision and appoint County Manager Gary Page as interim senior services director. County Commissioner Jim Sides made the motion to delay the vote and appoint Page “in an effort for us to obtain additional information and learn a little bit more about how this would affect other areas.” On Nov. 4, commissioners asked Page to provide a list of possible scenarios for restructuring the department after the Nov. 30 retirement of Director Clyde Fahnestock. The five scenarios given would save the county between $58,000 and $143,000. They include simply hiring someone to replace Fahnestock or making senior services a part of the Department of Social Services, either keeping it at the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center or moving it in with DSS.

Capt. John Sifford said Officer Oliver Greene stopped Roig on Thursday after noticed her vehicle weaving from lane to lane to Barringer Road. Talking to Roig, Sifford said, Greene noticed her speech was “extremely slurred.” Sifford said Greene conducted a sobriety test, which Roig failed. After obtaining permission to search the vehicle, Greene found a bottle containing 96 oxycodone pills that were not prescribed to Roig, Sifford said. Roig was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $10,000 se-

Authorities say an inmate at the Rowan County Detention Center bit an officer three times, drawing blood and sending the guard to RoMedical for treatment.

Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said Golliver became violent, swinging at detention officer E.L Heilig after Heilig asked him to turn around and face the wall of his isolation cell. Officers Heilig, M.G. Kruk and N.W. Yon had transported the man to isolation with no incident, but once inside, Golliver became loud. He started kicking the cell door and beating it with his fist. Sifford said when officers intervened, Golliver attacked Heilig. Officers used pepper spray to get Golliver under control. Golliver had been arrested for failing to register as a sex offender by failing to change his address on Sept. 7. He was issued a $20,000 secured bond at that time. Golliver was being held in the jail Monday under an additional $10,000 bond.

Arlington St. in Salisbury reported to the Salisbury Police Department that they had received four counterfeit $100 bills. Both the Concord and Salisbury Walmart stores reported that the counterfeit bills were passed on the same day. These individuals also passed four additional counterfeit $100 bills at the Salisbury Walmart on Oct. 10. The suspects involved are two females and one male.

SCHOOL BUDGET CUTBACKS

Desperate times, indeed Job market shifts in N.C. esperate times, we’ve oft been told, call for desperate measures. So as school officials here and around the state contemplate budget cutbacks of 5 to 10 percent, how desperate could things get? Well, here’s what happening in another N.C. system. In Wake County, along with reducing school personnel and closing some campuses outright, officials are also contemplating ways to raise revenue and partially offset the budget cuts. The ideas tossed include instituting “pay to play” fees for school athletics, hiking parking fees for high school students, imposing an annual fee on students who ride buses and even charging students who leave campus for lunch. As might be expected, this has generated heated reaction, including a school board member’s categorization of some of the ideas as “ridiculous” and crazy.” Maybe — or maybe school officials wanted to jolt people into contemplating the stark reality of the looming cutbacks. The notion of charging students for the privilege of eating lunch off campus may seem ridiculous, but so does the fact that at the same time schools are struggling to raise student performance, they may be forced to reduce their most valuable resource — teachers in the classroom. In the Rowan-Salisbury system, nobody’s proposing similiar “revenue enhancement” ideas — at least, not yet. Let’s hope the situation doesn’t get that desperate. But when you’re contemplating the potential elimination of more than 5,000 teaching positions statewide, every option needs to be on the table — even ones that in more normal times might be dismissed as crazy talk.

Double thrill of victory Congratulations to Rowan County’s two championship football teams — Salisbury High and West Rowan. Winning just one championship would be reason enough for celebration; taking two on the same day is a made-for-prime-time occasion. As Post sports editor Ronnie Gallagher put it, this has to go down as the greatest football season in county history. Individually, each team created its own special history. For Salisbury High, Saturday’s 30-0 victory over Northeastern secured the Hornets’ first state football title and offered sweet vindication after last season’s loss in the semifinals. For West Rowan, the win over Eastern Alamance clinched the Falcons’ third consecutive title and put an exclamation point on the longest winning streak in the nation. Only the teams and their coaching staffs can fully appreciate the determination and effort that brought them to this moment. But the rest of us can still bask in the glow of their success. As Salisbury High’s Coach Joe Pinyan said, “Everybody should be proud — from West to East and from North to South.”

Technology, trade drive employment trends BY DR. MIKE WALDEN North Carolina Cooperative Extension

couple of weeks ago I heard a caller to a local radio program lament that the U.S. economy no longer has airline mechanics. I know he was exaggerating, but his point was that good-paying skilled jobs in our economy are falling by the wayside. I hear this worry frequently expressed when I give talks around the state. And the concern is not just that the recession has taken away jobs — most people realize unemployment rises during recessions. Instead, the worry is more deep-seated, and it’s based on two factors. One is a long-held worry that technology and modern equipment are replacing jobs. The second is newer: WALDEN that trade with other countries is cutting jobs here. Technological change has been a factor in the labor market forever. But rather than destroying jobs, the historical record shows technology alters the distribution of jobs. The replacement of the mule by the tractor dramatically increased the productivity of farming and allowed fewer farmers to grow more. In North Carolina, the millions of former farmers provided the labor supply that attracted the textile and furniture industries. In recent decades improved technology and equipment have been responsible for a plunge in manufacturing employment. Yet manufacturing output in both the nation and North Carolina has continued to increase. In our state, the labor released from factories has allowed for the expansion of companies and employment in areas like information technology, health care and personal services. The impact of foreign trade on the job market has coincided with improved communication and transportation capabilities that have effectively brought countries closer together. While many people have concluded world trade has been a net negative for U.S. jobs, the reality is actually more complicated. In fact, there are three ways international trade can actually create domestic jobs. One is through U.S. exports to other countries. U.S. exports to foreign countries have been growing rapidly, and many economists see tapping into foreign markets as one of the best ways to boost both revenues and jobs at home. Jobs can also be created at home when foreign companies decide to establish operations on U.S. soil. The most notable recent examples are foreign-owned auto companies in several (mainly southern) states. While North Carolina has not landed one of these vehicle-assembly

plants, factories in South Carolina have spawned a major vehicle parts industry in our state. Economists argue that even buying foreignmade products can create U.S. jobs. How so? If the foreign-made products save money for U.S. consumers, then those consumers have funds left over to spend on other things, and this, in turn, can create domestic jobs. While these job-benefiting impacts of international trade do not necessarily mean globalization has been a net job-gainer for the U.S., they do suggest the job losses and job gains may be much closer. So how have all these impacts worked to change the job market recently? Because we know recessions knock out just about all kinds of jobs, let’s look at job changes between 2000 (after globalization began in full force) and 2008 (before the latest recession really kickedin). Let’s also look at jobs grouped by what people do; that is, using occupational categories. The results fall nicely into three groups. First are occupational categories that gained jobs, and these were professional, construction and service occupations. Second are occupational categories experiencing little change in total jobs: management, sales, clerical, maintenance and repair, and transportation occupations. Last are two occupational groupings that lost jobs: farming and manufacturing. These findings actually make sense. With the shift in our economy to jobs requiring more reasoning and complex decision-making, it’s logical that professional jobs have been the fastest-growing occupational category. Personal service jobs — particularly in health care — are on the rise, as were construction jobs prior to the recession. Many of these jobs also require face-to-face or on-site contact, so it’s hard for them to be out-sourced to other countries. In contrast, communication (cell phones) and computer technology have likely made workers in the second grouping of occupations — management, sales, clerical, etc. — more efficient, and therefore, not as many workers are needed as the economy expands. Technological advances are also behind the decline in the number of farmers. And manufacturing jobs have been hit by the double whammy of technology and foreign competition. Is this all for the good? You’ll have to decide. But by the way, there are still over 120,000 airplane mechanics at work in the U.S.! • • • Dr. Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Professor and North Carolina Cooperative Extension economist in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics of N.C.

During the Christmas season, when children are so excited about receiving gifts, it is heartwarming to see children who are willing to give. Six hundred and four students from China Grove Elementary came through the doors of Main Street Mission carrying 2,034 food items to be shared with those in the community who are in need. Their happy faces glowed as they held out their gifts to the volunteers who were there to receive them. We want to thank the students of China Grove Elementary School, the teachers and parents. A special thanks to Jennifer White, the principal, who wants the children to understand the importance of sharing what we have with others in need. When children are taught about community service, everyone benefits. Thank you, China Grove Elementary, for a wonderful day! — Anne Corriher China Grove

Seeing the light Regarding the recent letter about burned out lights in Salisbury’s Christmas decorations: The city can waste money on things like fiber optics. Why? They should have money — they annexed people and doubled their taxes. But those people don’t get any city benefit. Then the City Council votes to let bars open up all over town, which will cost taxpayers. Yet they say they can’t afford the (replacement) bulbs for Christmas decorations. Downtown looks like a ghost town. Maybe if they call Duke Energy, it will give them free bulbs. People, remember in November 2011 and vote out all council members that are in there now. Then maybe we can have beautiful decorations for our out-of-town visitors. Shame on the city. — Charles Black Salisbury

Deciphering the language of Washington ven Rosetta Stone, the languagelearning software that promises individuals they’ll soon “dream in French,” would be hard-pressed to translate the language of Washington. The etymology surrounding the tax debate would stymie someone with a Ph.D. in linguistics. Just following the numbers, not to mention the assertions, is enough to produce blank stares of incomprehension. There is a debate about whether the estate tax should jump from zero to 35 percent, or 55 percent. Some liberal congressional Democrats claim they won’t consider voting for the “compromise” unless it is 55 percent. As the Wall Street Journal noted last weekend, the estate tax was 55 CAL percent in 2001, with a THOMAS $675,000 exemption. In 2009, the top rate was 45 percent with a $3.5 million exemption. This year it has been zero percent with no exemption. Republicans and Democrats have attached new spending for pork projects in the tax rate compromise bill. Pork IS the universal language of Congress. This is fiscal irresponsibility. The reason America has a debt approaching $14 trillion is that government will not live within the means provided to it by people who earn the money. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) exposed the motives of liberals about progressive taxation. During a mini-filibuster against the deal struck by President Obama and the

The class warfare game played by the left leads nowhere. congressional Republican leadership, Sanders said it is “greedy” to oppose a hike in the tax rates. “Greed is like an addiction,” he said, comparing it to heroin and nicotine. Sanders wondered how anyone could be proud to call himself a “multimillionaire?” One might ask how any U.S. senator could be proud to call himself a socialist? Besides, what business is it of government how much anyone legally earns? According to Sanders’ reasoning, if people resist turning over increasing amounts of their paychecks to government, they are greedy. The left is obsessed with punishing the successful, but even if billionaires and multi-millionaires were taxed at a 100 percent rate, it wouldn’t get close to eliminating the debt. Cutting spending would. What word might best characterize a government that so misspends our money? Unconstitutional? Irresponsible? Outrageous? The class warfare game played by the left leads nowhere. It is foreign to the Constitution and to our history. Every poor person would like the opportunity to become rich, or at least better off. Liberty and opportunity, not government, offer that chance if right choices are made and one develops a moral center. The left’s real concern is that too many people might become independent of government and have less “need” of politi-

cians. Most politicians won’t let that happen unless forced to do so by the voters. The November election was a step in the right direction. President Obama’s latest manipulation of language is his shameless theft of a Republican idea. Last Friday, according to the Washington Post and an official of the administration, President Barack Obama “directed his economic team to begin analyzing options for overhauling the U.S. tax code as part of an effort to trim the longterm deficit.” “The idea is simplifying the system, hopefully lowering rates, broadening the base,” the president told NPR News. Wait, I thought the lowered Bush tax rates were a threat to the country? The tax code has become complicated because Congress uses it to reward or punish companies or causes, which it favors, or opposes, depending upon which way the political wind blows. A simpler, more equitable code with lower rates would benefit taxpayers; the treasury would see tax receipts increase because more people would be paying taxes; there would be more capital available to the private sector for production of goods and services; and businesses could hire more people, who would become taxpayers. Congressional Republicans should scuttle the deal offered by the president and await reinforcements, arriving next month. They might then get a better deal. And maybe, just maybe, the new members will speak a language the public understands. • • • E-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@ tribune.com.

Otha 'Doc' Holshouser

KANNAPOLIS FROM 4A the building to the county for a token sum of $1. In other news, council members heard Legg’s report about the withdrawn rental property ordinance proposed at the last session. The ordinance would have required owners of rental properties to obtain permits and be held responsible for repeated criminal activity be tenants. Legg told council members that the decision not to pursue that ordinance would be followed by the establishment of a task force, made up of city staff and property owners as well as law enforcement, to determine how best to address problem properties. "One of the things we hear is that property owners, especially absentee owners, may not hear that something is occurring,” Legg said. "The biggest thing we will achieve through this program is better communication between staff and our landlords,” Planning Director Ben Warren said of the soon-to-be-established working group. During a break in the meeting, Legg said that those owners do have the ability to check and see if the police are being called out to their properties. But there is no system for notifying property owners automatically if that happens. Legg said that, while property owners did have to be responsible for their tenants’ behavior, the city could also do more to communicate with them. "We're not saying that all are good. we do have some problem property owners." But he said he hopes that a new way can be found in the year ahead to address the issue without punishing owners whose properties aren’t part of the problem. No action was taken; the proposed ordinance had already been withdrawn by city staff. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-7974244.

SALISBURY POST

Granite aldermen may seek condemnation of Brookwood Drive property GRANITE QUARRY — The Board of Aldermen could pursue condemnation of property belonging to a Brookwood Drive resident as part of securing right-of-way easements for a new culvert. At a meeting Dec. 6, Town Manager Dan Peters reported that Danny Gay of Brookwood Drive sought $5,000 for his easement, compared to the $2,158 the town had offered. Meanwhile, the board authorized paying a total of $2,934 to the other homeowners on Brookwood Drive who have signed easement agreements. The board turned negotiations with Gay over to Town Attorney Chip Short, who was authorized to pursue condemnation if he can’t find a resolution with Gay. Board members agreed that the bid process for the

new culvert — aimed at alleviating chronic flooding — should continue even with a condemnation, meaning bids could be opened as soon as Jan. 20, 2011. Town minutes put the estimated cost of a condemnation between $2,500 and $3,000. In other town business, aldermen decided against the purchase of seasonal banners or flags for the downtown area. The town’s planning board recommended the purchase. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather said the idea was admirable and worth looking at in the future, but the town could not afford the expense right now.

Other board members agreed. Four Granite Quarry firefighters have been promoted to the rank of engineer after completing the necessary training. They are John Cannon, Cameron Lapham, Ryan Tillis and Mike West. Faith Cannon, Kim Fraley, Lauren Tillis and Sarah West participated in the pinning of the new engineers’ badges. Mayor Mary Ponds administered the oath of engineer at the Dec. 6 town board meeting. Fire Chief David Morris announced the addition of two firefighters to the department’s roster: Adam Parnell

and Tonya Herring. Parnell is employed in the town’s maintenance department and plans to attend rookie school in 2011. Herring is an emergency medical technician working toward a degree in nursing. Police Chief Mark Cook said Sgt. Todd Taylor recently represented Granite Quarry at the AAA Safety Awards ceremony in Durham. Granite Quarry received an AAA award for towns less than 10,000 population in recognition of its traffic safety efforts. A plaque recognizing the achievement will hang in City Hall. Cook said a new patrol car

for the town should be on the road soon. He also introduced David Earnhardt as a new fulltime officer. Earnhardt has been employed part-time with the town for almost a year and has 20 years of experience in law enforcement and communications. At Granite Lake Park, two Christmas wreaths adorning the park sign have been stolen, Alderman Eloise Peeler reported. Maintenance Supervisor Kim Cress said a tree has been planted at Granite Lake and decorated for Christmas. Laura Porter of the Youth Services Bureau gave a presentation to the board about the

RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Wayne Goodwin announced that the Union Volunteer Fire Department Inc. was awarded a $22,613 grant through the 2010 Volunteer Fire Department Fund from the State of North Carolina. West Liberty Volunteer Fire Department Inc. was awarded a $27,250. Union Fire Chief Steve Cauble will receive the check to be used to buy needed equipment. The check will be mailed to West Liberty Chief Darrin Trexler also to buy needed equipment. The equipment is bought using matching funds and must be approved by the Department of Insurance Office of State Fire Marshal. “Fire and rescue organizations protect our communities large and small across North Carolina, but sometimes their budgets don’t grow with their responsibilities,” Commissioner Goodwin said. “Our emergency service personnel should be supported with the best equipment and supplies needed to do their jobs correctly and safely.” Union Volunteer Fire Department Inc. has received a total of $30,979 from the Volunteer Fire Department Fund in the past 23 years since the program began. West Liberty Volunteer Fire Department Inc. has received a total of $132,968 from the fund in the past 23 years. The General Assembly created the Volunteer Fire Department Fund in 1988 to help volunteer units raise money for equipment and supplies. The grant funds must be matched dollar-fordollar, up to an approved amount, by monies raised locally to buy necessary equipment. Since the program’s inception, the Department of Insurance has distributed more than $73 million to volunteer fire departments across the state.

United Way agency and said there is a need for adult volunteers to serve as mentors. Planning and Zoning Director Susan Closner reported on her recent attendance at a Carolina Thread Trail meeting. She outlined some of the funding opportunities and grants that are available for walking trails. When the town sponsored Santa’s visit to Town Hall Dec. 5, 110 treat bags were handed out to children.

These Bengals, in a 10-game skid, may be worst yet BY JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — With three games left, there’s only one question left for the Cincinnati Bengals to answer. Are they the worst ever? The Bengals (2-11) have lost 10 consecutive games, matching the club record for one season. The 1993 team under Dave Shula lost its first 10 and has been the measuring stick for failure in the franchise— until now. The way this team is playing, the losing could go on. Cincinnati finishes at home against Cleveland (5-8) and San Diego (7-6), then at Baltimore (8-4). Will they win one more? “I have no idea,” receiver Terrell Owens said. “I’ve never been in this amount of games losing.” Only one other Bengals team knows what it’s like. The ‘93 club opened the season with low

expectations, coming off a five-win season and quarterback Boomer Esiason’s trade to the Jets. Second-year quarterback David Klingler took over and the offense became the worst in club history. When they fell to 0-9 with a 38-3 loss to Warren Moon’s Houston Oilers, the Bengals set a club record for consecutive losses in a season. Shula decided that was good enough for the worst-ever title and put the onus on his players. “Well, I know that we’re the worst team in Bengal history, and we certainly deserve it at this time,” Shula said after the game. “This was the worst performance that we’ve had. They let themselves down, everybody down.” Some players didn’t see it that way. Top running back Harold Green had been benched during the game for missing an audible, and wasn’t in the mood for Shula’s criticism.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre laughs with teammates during warmups at Ford Field. Favre is inactive for the game with the Giants, ending his record consecutive starts streak at 297, dating back to 1992.

Brett Favre inactive, streak ends at 297 B Y N OAH T RISTER AP Sports Writer

DETROIT — No more, Brett. After 297 consecutive starts over 19 seasons, one of the greatest individual streaks in all of sports, Brett Favre ran into an injury he couldn’t beat and sat down. The 41-year-old Vikings quarterback who fought through broken bones, aches, pains and personal grief to play week after week, couldn’t make it for the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. Favre was sidelined by a throwing shoulder too damaged for even him to overcome. Jeff Anderson, a Vikings spokesman, announced to the public on Twitter that the 41-year-old Favre was out: “Vikings Inactives — 12, 19, 25, 31, 76, 90, 91...and 4. The streak ends...” The Vikings hoped Favre, who has started despite a broken foot and elbow tendinitis this season, could do it again when the game against the New York Giants was delayed from Sunday after the Metrodome roof collapsed. That forced the game to be moved to Ford Field, but it was not enough time for Favre to get healthy enough to play. Leslie Frazier, Minnesota’s interim coach, said the plan was for Favre to go through a pregame throwing routine to try and determine if he could play, but the three-time MVP wasn’t on the field about 90 minutes before kickoff, and the Vikings announced moments later he was inactive. “He had numbness in his hand so it wasn’t a hard decision,” Frazier told Fox television reporter Pam Oliver before kickoff. At halftime, TV cameras showed Favre’s right hand was purple. Favre finally came out about 35 minutes before the game started, wearing a T-shirt and warmup pants. He hugged a teammate while receiving a few cheers from the crowd, then stood at the 15-yard line and chatted with Tarvaris Jackson, the new Minnesota starter. After Minnesota’s first drive, Favre looked at photo printouts with Jackson as the Vikings went over strategy. Ron Jaworski previously held the consecutive starts record for a quarterback, but Favre passed him all the way back in 1999. “I knew when my streak ended, it was because of a broken leg,” Jaworski said. “I knew it was over. It was just kind of inter-

Carolina Panthers’ Jimmy Clausen is sacked by Atlanta Falcons’ Kroy Biermann as Panther Mike Goodson falls during the ﬁrst half of the game in Charlotte on Sunday.

Carrying on with Clausen Quarterback still starter for Arizona game, Panthers add 2 to IR BY MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Amid 12 losses and 13 players lost to seasonending injuries, the Carolina Panthers are sticking with their apologetic quarterback. Minutes after John Fox announced Monday that defensive end Everette Brown and linebacker Jason Williams are joining the crowded injured reserve list, the embattled coach said rookie Jimmy Clausen “more than likely” will start Sunday against Arizona. “I don’t think our struggles either (Sunday) or up to date have been all the quarterback position, because we’ve fielded a few of them,” Fox said. “We’ll evaluate that this week. We won’t announce starters, but I don’t see it changing moving forward.” After another poor performance in Sunday’s 31-10 loss to Atlanta, Clausen apologized to linebacker Jon Beason for the offensive woes. That prompted an angry response from receiver Steve Smith as frustrations mount in the locker room of the NFL’s worst team. “You should apologize to the people in the huddle with you,” Smith said. “He has a lot to learn. He ain’t at Notre Dame anymore, that’s for sure.” Wearing a Notre Dame sweatshirt on Monday, Clausen expressed relief in keeping his job. “It means a lot to have coach

Fox and the rest of the coaching staff have confidence in myself to go out and execute the game plan,” Clausen said. The Panthers (1-12) haven’t executed many things effectively this season. And now an already thin team with little talent keeps losing players. After recording 11/2 sacks against the Falcons in the best performance of his uneven twoyear career, Brown hurt his wrist and needs season-ending surgery. Brown, whom Carolina gave up a first-round pick to get in the 2009 draft, finishes the year with 31/2 sacks. “I think he’s been a little up and down, but I thought he had a good day (Sunday) until the injury,” Fox said. “I thought he became more productive here as of late.” Williams, claimed off waivers last month from Dallas, had moved into the starting lineup at weakside linebacker thanks to numerous injuries. But he hurt his knee in practice late last week, forcing Jordan Senn to become the fourth starter in that position against Atlanta. Fox announced Monday that Williams has a torn anterior cruciate ligament. “He’s a tough guy, was involved in a couple of takeaways,” Fox said. “He was getting acclimated to our defensive system, not having been here during

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Giants dominate Brett Favre-less Vikings 21-3 BY LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

DETROIT (AP) — Brett Favre stood on the sidelines for the start of a game for the first time since 1992, rubbing his salt-and-pepper beard in frustration because his body couldn’t take another pounding. His replacement struggled early and often, thanks to the New York Giants. Brandon Jacobs ran for a goahead touchdown midway through the second quarter, Eli Manning threw a lead-padding TD just before halftime and Ahmad Bradshaw added a 48-yard run to help the Giants beat Minnesota 21-3 Monday night. Favre’s New York 21 NFL-record Minnesota 3 streak of 297 straight starts ended because of his banged-up right shoulder and numb hand in a game moved from Minneapolis because the Metrodome roof collapsed under heavy snow early Sunday. The Giants sacked Favre replacement Tarvaris Jackson four times, knocking him out of the game late in the third period and again in the final seconds. New York (9-4) moved back into a first-place tie with Philadelphia in the NFC East. Minnesota, which went to the NFC title game last January, (58) was eliminated from the playoff race. The game was switched from Sunday afternoon when the Giants couldn’t get to Minneapolis because of the severe weather, then was moved to the Detroit Lions’ indoor stadium with a steel roof. The Vikings were technically the home team at Ford Field — which was adorned with their logo at midfield and “VIKINGS” in the end zones — but they didn’t have much of an edge. “The whole thing is bizarre,” Vikings radio analyst Pete Bercich said. Nothing, though, was more odd than seeing Favre watch a game. He stood on the sideline, trying to tutor Jackson at times, and sporting a purple knit hat, short-sleeved black shirt with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath, and black warmup pants. The game drew an announced crowd of 45,910 — there seemed to be at least 10,000 more people in the 65,000-seat stadium late in the first half — and some fans made the trek to see Favre. Even though most got in for

free, they left disappointed, especially if they were rooting for the Vikings. Whether the 41-year-old Favre plays again for Minnesota in his 20th NFL season is uncertain. It appears his third return from a brief retirement will be the end — and he might not finish out the schedule. New York has won three straight and eight of 10 games, improving its chances for a wild card if it doesn’t finish ahead of the Eagles, who it hosts Sunday. Minnesota entered the game with a two-game winning streak and flickering hopes of salvaging what has been a miserable season. Jackson got off to a good start, completing his first two passes for 8 yards each, but struggled for much of the game. He wasted an opportunity to show his coaches and teammates he can be counted on to fill in for Favre for a game and perhaps in the future. He completed just 12 of 22 passes, threw an interception directly to linebacker Keith Bulluck, and fumbled a shotgun snap he was able to recover. Another shotgun snap got away and he recovered it near the goal line, seemingly getting a break from the officials on what appeared to be a safety. While Jackson didn’t have the benefit of a running game — Adrian Peterson was held to 26 yards on 14 carries — Manning relied on a one-two punch that pounded the Vikings all night. Jacobs ran for a season-high 116 yards and a score and Bradshaw had 103 yards rushing, including the 48-yarder that was his longest run in two years. Bradshaw left in the fourth quarter with a wrist injury. Manning bounced back from throwing a second interception in the opening minute of the second quarter and was 22 of 37 for 187 yards and a TD, a perfectly threaded pass to Kevin Boss. That put the Giants ahead 14-3 with 3 seconds left in the third quarter. Hakeem Nicks caught seven passes for 96 yards. Jackson limped off the field with 16 seconds left in the game, giving rookie Joe Webb another opportunity to take snaps after getting drafted in the sixth round to play wide receiver. Webb, who had played in one game without throwing a pass, completed two of five passes.

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub hands off the ball to Texans running back Arian Foster during the ﬁrst quarter.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens almost blew another one, until their trademark defense saved the game. Josh Wilson intercepted Matt Schaub’s pass and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown in overtime, lifting the Ravens to a 3428 win over the Houston Texans on Monday night. The Ravens (9-4) stayed one game behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North despite blowing a 28-7 lead in the second half. Schaub threw a 5yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson and a 2point conversion to Jacoby Jones with 21 seconds left in regulation to cap the unlikely rally. BaltiBaltimore 34 m o r e Houston 28 l o s t fourthquarter leads in each of its four losses and had to punt after its only offensive series of overtime. Houston started from its 12, and Schaub was trying to connect with Jones on second down when Wilson picked it off and ran into the end zone. Houston (5-8) has lost six of its last seven. The Ravens seemed to have the game well in hand when rookie David Reed returned the secondhalf kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown, a franchise record. Houston mounted two time-consuming drives in

the third quarter, but only came away with field goals. Yet the Texans’ defense, ranked among the league’s worst in every category, held the Ravens to four first downs in the second half and kept Houston’s comeback hopes flickering. The Texans’ offense finally came alive after a listless first half. Schaub went 24 for 41 in the last two quarters after going 7 for 21 in the first half. He threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jones with 6 minutes left to finish a 99-yard drive, the longest in team history. The defense forced another Baltimore punt with 2:54 left, and Schaub launched the tying drive with a 16-yard completion to Kevin Walter. Schaub went 8 for 10 in the 95yard march, and also scrambled for a first down. Johnson managed to keep his toes inbounds on the spectacular 5-yard touchdown reception that made it 28-26, and Jones grabbed Houston’s first 2point conversion of the year to tie it. The Texans had lost fourth-quarter leads in their previous four losses, all because the defense gave up long pass plays. This time, the usually reliable Schaub made the late-game mistake that cost Houston a chance to win.

Bethune-Cookman led 27-25 at halftime before Tyler Auerbacher’s 3-pointer put the Warriors (4-4) ahead by one 33 seconds into the second half. The Wildcats, however, answered on Reed’s basket with 18:19 to play to lead 29-28 with 18:19 to go. Bethune-Cookman wouldn’t trail the rest of the way. The Wildcats increased their lead to 40-31 after consecutive steals allowed Trapp to score three baskets in 23 seconds, the last coming at the 15:22 mark. Junior Geidi led Webber International with 12 points, and Tyler Hoevenaar chipped in 10 points.

Seton Hall blows out Longwood 78-51 NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Freshman forward Fuquan Edwin scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds, both career highs, to pace a balanced scoring attack, leading Seton Hall to an easy 78-51 victory over Longwood Monday night. The win was the second straight for the Pirates (5-4), who also defeated Massachusetts 104-79 on Dec. 11 in a game where Edwin had 13 points. Other than Edwin, the Pirates also received 17 points and seven assists from Jordan Theodore, who has been solid all season for the Pirates. Jeff Robinson added 15 points and eight rebounds for the winners, who took an early lead and never looked back. Antwan Carter paced Longwood (3-8) with 15 points. Martiz Washington had 12 and Aaron Mitchell 10 for the Lancers, who have lost six straight. After Longwood’s Mitchell scored the game’s first points on a jumper, Seton Hall took command by scoring the next 10 points over a 3:10 span. Edwin scored five during the drive, with four coming off rebounds. The Lancers kept climbing back into the game and drew to within three, 27-24, on a 3-point field goal from David Robinson. The Pirates then outscored the Lancers 19-5 over the rest of the first half to take a 46-29 halftime lead. Edwin had eight of the Pirates’ 19 points during the final 6 minutes of the first half and ended the half with 13 points. Longwood came out inspired in the second half and cut the lead to 56-47 with 10:14 left on a driving

BENGALS FROM 1B “I guess Dave was quoted after the game about this being the worst team in Bengals history,” Green said. “That may be touching closer to home to him being the worst coach in Bengals history. What goes around comes around.” Ouch! There’s been no such acrimony on this 10-loss team, although Owens has moved a bit closer to the line after each of the last few defeats. He had only one catch for 22 yards in a 23-7 loss in Pittsburgh on Sunday, and intimated that the Steelers did a better job of coaching. “I can’t throw the ball to myself,” Owens said. “I can’t do anything else. All I can do is just go with the plays that

PANTHERS FROM 1B camp or the offseason stuff. He’s a guy on a short look we thought did a good job for us.” The Panthers announced no corresponding roster moves on Monday as they gear up for a closing threegame stretch with Clausen at the helm. Of course, with only journeymen Brian St. Pierre and Keith Null behind him, Fox doesn’t have any attractive options. The second-round pick from Notre Dame, forced into the starting job by Matt Moore’s struggles and then season-ending shoulder injury, appeared to regress on Sunday. He completed 14 of 24 passes for 107 yards and

basket by Mitchell. But Longwood could only muster four more points over the final 10-plus minutes. After Longwood cut the lead to nine, the Pirates scored the next five points, two on a power move from Edwin and a 3-pointer from Theodore to push the lead back to double digits at 61-47 with 8 minutes left. Freshman Patrick Auda scored four straight points, both baskets coming off passes from Theodore, to give the Pirates a 65-47 lead with 6:20 to go. The Pirates kept the pressure on from that point and pulled away down the stretch, with the final score being the largest margin.

America’s Cup talks heat up on both coasts America’s Cup officials are negotiating with Newport, R.I., even as San Francisco attempts to come up with a winning bid to host sailing’s biggest regatta. Tony Winniker, a spokesman for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, says the Board of Supervisors’ Budget and Finance Committee has endorsed a host city agreement and sent it to the full board, which is scheduled to vote on it Tuesday. The Golden Gate Yacht Club said in a letter to Newsom on Saturday that San Francisco will lose the right to host the America’s Cup in 2013 unless an acceptable deal is in place by Friday. Meanwhile, GGYC official Tom Ehman says Newport could be “an inexpensive and very, very good” alternative if San Francisco doesn’t pan out. GGYC also is considering a bid from Italy.

Ark. St. proposes penalties for NCAA violations JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas State is offering to forfeit several victories in several sports during the 2005-2007 seasons, plus cutting one football and one basketball scholarship for two years, as penalties for inadvertently allowing ineligible athletes to play. A news release Monday from ASU said the school had submitted a summary-disposition report to the NCAA Infractions Committee. The report is on violations of NCAA rules on progress-toward-degree requirements, originally discovered by the school and self-reported to the NCAA. In addition to the scholarship cuts, ASU said it was prepared to forfeit six football wins in the 2006 season and four in 2005; 15 men’s basketball wins in the 2006-2007 season, 12 basketball wins in 20052006; three baseball wins in the 2006-2007 season; and five women’s soccer wins during the 2005-2006 season.

Uehara finalizes $3M contract with Orioles BALTIMORE (AP) — Right-hander Koji Uehara has finalized a $3 million, one-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles, who hope the former Japanese star will continue to excel as the team’s closer. The 35-year-old Uehara has endured two injury-riddled seasons with Baltimore. After serving as a starter in 2009, Uehara enjoyed success as a stopper in the latter part of the 2010 season. He went 1-2 with 13 saves and a 2.86 ERA. He led AL relievers in fewest walks per nine innings and strikeout-to-walk ratio (11-to-1). His new deal includes a club option for 2012. Uehara is the first Japaneseborn player in Orioles history. He is 3-6 with a 3.58 ERA in 55 games with Baltimore.

TE Heap inactive for Ravens in Houston

HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu wrestler Clarissa Chun won her second international tournament in three weeks by taking gold in the 48-kilogram or 105.5-pound division at the Open Cup of Russia in Chekhov. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Chun pinned Russia’s Valeria Chepsarakova — the 2009 Junior World Champion at 51 kilograms — in the final on Dec. 4 to earn $3,000. The Roosevelt High graduate also took gold in the 48-kilogram division last month at the NYAC International Open in New York.

HOUSTON (AP) — Pro Bowl tight end Todd Heap was inactive for the Baltimore Ravens’ game against Houston on Monday night with a hamstring injury. Heap, the Ravens’ all-time leader in receptions (464) and touchdown catches (41), was injured on the first play from scrimmage in last week’s 13-10 loss to Pittsburgh. Heap has 37 catches for 546 yards and five touchdowns this season. Cornerback Fabian Washington, fullback Jason McKie and linebackers Jason Phillips and Dannell Ellerbe were also inactive for Baltimore. Fullback Le’Ron McClain is expected to play after sitting out last week’s game with a sprained left ankle. Houston tight end Owen Daniels, inactive for the past five games with a hamstring injury, was expected to play.

Timbers sign defender Kerrea Gilbert

BYU to play in San Francisco bowl in 2013

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Timbers have signed English defender Kerrea Gilbert from the English club Arsenal. The Timbers, who join Major League Soccer as an expansion team next season, also acquired a fourth-round pick from the Houston Dynamo in the 2014 SuperDraft in exchange for defender Jordan Graye. Gilbert, 23, has played for Arsenal for five seasons after developing in the English Premier League club’s youth system. He was loaned to several English clubs over the course of his career with the team. Graye was acquired by the Timbers in last month’s expansion draft from D.C. United.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Fight Hunger Bowl has reached an agreement with BYU to play in the game in 2013. The Cougars will take the place of the WAC, which was supposed to provide the opponent for a Pac-12 team. With four teams leaving the WAC in the next two years, the San Francisco-based bowl decided to look for a replacement. The Cougars are becoming a football independent next season and are looking to lock in bowl agreements. If BYU makes it into a BCS game or fails to become bowl eligible in 2013, the Fight Hunger Bowl has an agreement with the WAC for a backup team. Executive director Gary Cavalli says he has had his eye on BYU since starting this bowl in 2002.

There were some opportunities there and they (Pittsburgh) gameplanned to the point where they knew we were running some routes. ... We saw that, but we still didn’t make any adjustments.” The ‘93 team won two of its last three games, finishing 313 and tying for the worst record in club history. The 2002 team went one worse, finishing 2-14 under Dick LeBeau. These Bengals can match that mark by losing their last three. No matter the final record, this team will likely be remembered as the most disappointing in Cincinnati history. The Bengals won the AFC North last season, kept the team virtually intact and brought in Owens to improve the passing game for another

run at the playoffs. A 23-20 loss in Cleveland on Oct. 3 started a nosedive from a 2-1 start to one for the record books. This one won’t end as neatly as the last one. Shula not only kept his job after that 10game losing streak, but even got a two-year extension with one game left in the season. Coach Marvin Lewis is in the final year of his deal, having already turned down an extension because he wants changes in the organization. It could be the first of many significant changes — Owens and running back Cedric Benson are free agents, and the club has an option for one more year of receiver Chad Ochocinco. For now, there’s a doubledigit losing streak that won’t go away. “I thought the tide would turn,” Lewis said Monday. “It hasn’t turned our way.”

an interception. Sacked five times, he again struggled to make quick decisions, including a sack on fourth down near midfield after Carolina had climbed within 17-7 in the third quarter. Clausen has thrown 193 passes since his lone TD of the season and Carolina’s 164 points are 61 fewer than Miami, the NFL’s second-lowest scoring team. Fox sidestepped questions about Clausen’s apology on Monday and whether Clausen’s confidence is waning, “I think if you look through that locker room there was a lot of guys who would question confidence at this point,” Fox said. “We haven’t gotten the results we wanted. I don’t know about all of the apologizing stuff. You have to ask those guys.”

Not even Carolina’s best rushing performance of the season, 212 yards, could open up the anemic passing game. It’s left the Panthers three losses away from securing the No. 1 overall pick. “That’s what makes it so tough is that it’s not a bunch of quitters in here,” left tackle Jordan Gross said. “It just boggles me why it keeps turning up this way.” Notes: CB Chris Gamble said his strained left hamstring is feeling better and he expects to practice on Wednesday and start Sunday. Gamble was demoted to nickel back for a game before getting hurt and missing the past two games. He said he recently had a conversation with Fox. “We talked about the whole situation,” Gamble said. “Everything was cleared up.”

Harvick hires Nelson Piquet Jr. KERNERSVILLE (AP) — Former Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr. will drive in the Trucks Series for Kevin Harvick Inc. next

FAVRE FROM 1B esting following Brett this week. Now that we know it’s over, we can kind of look back on it and marvel. I don’t know if I can even put words on it.” The crowd in Detroit, where tickets were given out for free, had a chance to witness a bit of history. “Ahhh, I feel bad for him,” said Vikings season-ticket holder JoAnn Brown, who drove 12 hours to see the game in Detroit. “I wish he could’ve just got out there for the first play and just tossed the ball once to keep the streak.” Both Favre and Frazier had made it clear he would not be given a ceremonial start like that. At 5-7, Minnesota still has a slim chance to make the playoffs. The quarterback was injured when the Bills’ Arthur Moats hit him square in the back and sent him to the turf on the third play from scrimmage last weekend. The day after, the rookie linebacker said he had mixed emotions about perhaps being the player who ended Favre’s streak. “I don’t want to see anybody hurting and not playing any more. If he plays, that would be a good thing,” Moats said. “But if he doesn’t, and I was the guy to end the streak, all right. That’s a little notable, yeah.” Lions coach Jim Schwartz compared Favre’s run to another athlete with a famous streak. “I grew up in Baltimore and witnessed the Cal Ripken streak, but football is a completely different sport,” Schwartz said. “At quarter-

season. The Brazilian drove five races this last season for two different Trucks Series teams. His best finish was sixth at Daytona. Piquet drove for Renault in Formula 1 in 2008 and part of 2009, and later admitted he crashed on team PIQUET orders in a 2008 race at Singapore to help his teammate win. Renault officials accused Piquet and his father of making up the claims. But last week, Piquet won a libel lawsuit against the race team. Piquet says the timing of the announcement with Harvick and the conclusion of his libel suit is coincidental. KHI plans to field three trucks next season. The team did not announce Piquet’s crew chief, truck number or sponsor on Monday.

Diamondbacks hire minor league coordinators PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks say Mel Stottlemyre Jr. and Joel Youngblood will be minor league coordinators next season. Diamondbacks director of player development Mike Bell said Monday that Stottlemyre will be organization’s short-season pitching coordinator and Youngblood will be the outfield and base-running coordinator. Stottlemyre was Arizona’s pitching coach in 2009 and 2010. Youngblood was third base coach for half of last season. Brett Butler returns as manager of Triple-A Reno, and Mark Haley stays on as manager of Class A South Bend. Double-A Mobile will be led by Turner Ward, who is making his managerial debut after spending the last three seasons as the BayBears’ hitting coach. Audo Vicente will manage Class A Yakima and Kelly Stinnett will manage the rookie-level Arizona League Diamondbacks.

Minor leaguer suspended 50 games for drugs NEW YORK (AP) — A pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ organization has been suspended 50 games under the minor league drug program. Arquimedes Lorenzo was a member of Pittsburgh’s team in the Dominican Summer League. The commissioner’s office imposed the penalty Monday and said it will start when next season begins. There have been 86 players suspended this year under the minor league drug program and two under the major league program.

back, you have a target on you. It’s a tough, physical job and you aren’t ever delivering the blow. It takes a selfsacrifice to stand in there and take a blow to make a play for the team.” As for Ripken, he took a moment to congratulate Favre as well. “Brett has had an incredible career and his consecutive games streak is remarkable,” he said through a spokesman. “As a football fan I cannot fathom his accomplishment and I appreciate his dedication to and passion for the game. He is a true gamer and has provided us all with a lot of wonderful memories.” Season No. 20, though, has been one of Favre’s toughest. He’s taken a beating on the field and played not only through two fractures in his left foot and elbow tendinitis but 10 stitches in his chin along with aches in his neck, back and calf before he was crunched by Moats. His stats, including a 69.6 QB rating, haven’t been so great, either. He’s also been the subject of an NFL investigation into allegations he sent inappropriate messages and photos to a game-day hostess when both worked for the New York Jets in 2008. The investigation has lasted for more than two months now, and the lawyer for Jenn Sterger was vocal last week in trying to get a ruling announced. Through it all, Favre has led his team on the field, extending his streak further and further. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning now holds the longest streak at 205 games. He would need to keep it going for another 51/2 years to surpass Favre. “It’s beyond reason. It’s ridiculous,” said Seahawks

quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who backed up Favre in Green Bay years ago. “He’s gotten lucky a little bit too, but he’s just the toughest guy in the world.” It’s a record that Favre cherishes. Over the years, he has played through a separated shoulder, concussions, a sprained knee and a broken thumb — and he also took the field following the sudden death of his father and his wife being diagnosed with breast cancer. “I far exceeded my goals,” Favre said last week. “I don’t know if any player comes in and says, ‘Hey, I have a goal of playing 300 straight games.’ To have done that with playoffs (321 games), I don’t know how many consecutive starts, it’s a lot, and had it ended several weeks before or last year, it is still quite an accomplishment.” He’s been listed as questionable on the injury report heading into a game several times this season. But it was clear as soon as Moats blindsided him that this injury was more serious. Favre’s injury, a sprained SC joint, is a rarity in sports, one that doctors say occurs most often when a person’s body slams against the steering wheel in an auto accident. Favre said Wednesday he was having difficulty putting on a shirt or pulling on socks and he did not throw a proper pass all week in preparation for the Giants.

Metrodome roof collapse rekindles stadium debate B Y C HRIS W ILLIAMS Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Frigid air whipped through a desolate Metrodome on Monday as crews began inspecting the Minnesota stadium’s nearly three decades-old roof after it collapsed under the weight of heavy snow that pounded the Twin Cities and forced the Vikings to move their game to Detroit. Sunday’s roof collapse was the fourth since the 29year-old facility opened, and it has rekindled the debate about whether the cashstrapped state should build a new venue using taxpayer money. “It’s an aging facility. We all know that. This actually ramps up that part of the discussion,” said state Sen. Julie Rosen, who said she will introduce a new stadium bill when the Legislature convenes in January. The Vikings have lobbied lawmakers for more than 10 years for a new stadium, arguing the Metrodome is outdated and doesn’t generate enough revenue. The team’s lease runs through the 2011 season and they have said they won’t renew it. The NFL team is the stadium’s only major tenant after the Minnesota Twins and University of Minnesota moved into new facilities, which received public subsidies, in the past two years. The stadium’s Teflon roof gave way early Sunday after a storm pounded the region, dumping 17 inches of snow on the city — the fifth heaviest in state history. No one was hurt, but the Vikings’ Sunday game was moved to Monday night in Detroit and it wasn’t clear when the stadium would reopen. Three executives from Amherst, N.Y.-based contractor Birdair, Inc. met with stadium officials Monday. Pat Milan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission that operates the Metrodome, said they assessed the position and the size of the tears in the roof to figure out whether to repair or replace

damaged panels. “Everyone is going as quickly as they can and as safely as they can,” Milan said. Vikings vice president for public affairs and stadium development Lester Bagley said the team is “determined” to host the Chicago Bears next Monday night “in front of our fans.” He says they’ll likely take a “dual-track approach,” trying to get the Metrodome ready while also preparing TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus to play outside if necessary. When the Metrodome was built, its design was considered state-of-the art — and its Teflon roof was less expensive than a solid one. Though some domes with similar designs still are used in Detroit, Vancouver and Syracuse, N.Y., new stadiums have been built over the years and the inflatedtype domes have given way to shinier models. The last time the Metrodome’s roof gave way was 27 years ago, forcing the postponement of a Minnesota Twins game in April 1983. Since then, building staff have learned a few tricks about dealing with snow storms — including blasting the roof with hot water to melt the snow and pumping hot air between two layers of fabric that make up the roof, said Steve Maki, MSFC director of facilities and engineering. Those techniques were used during the weekend, but strong winds made it too dangerous for crews to continue working to clear the snow, he said. The roof collapse dominated talk radio in the Twin Cities on Monday and striking video of a truckload of snow dumping on the field nearly 200 feet below was in heavy rotation on television. “The images on TV can’t help but have an influence on public perception,” Rep. Keith Downey, a Republican from Edina who said he opposes both new taxes and state general fund spending

AssociATed press

The Minneapolis Metrodome, home ﬁeld of the Minnesota Vikings, collapsed after about seventeen inches of snow fell during a recent snow storm and still waits repair in Minneapolis, Minn., on Monday. A team is due to arrive today from the New York-based company that made the Metrodome roof to make repairs. for the Vikings. But there may be little financial support for a new stadium — especially as Minnesota faces a budget deficit projected at $6.2 billion. State leaders have said there’s little they can do for the team until they solve the budget woes, though the Vikings are working on a new proposal to present to the next Legislature. The Vikings previously pledged roughly one-third of the cost for a new stadium, estimated at $700 million or more depending on the model and the site, but they’ve had difficulty getting support for public money to pay for the rest. Rosen, a Republican from

Fairmont, wouldn’t give specifics about the bill she planned to propose next year, but she said no state funds would be used. Instead user fees and other revenue streams would pay for it, she said. Gov.-elect Mark Dayton’s spokeswoman, Katie Tinucci, said the roof collapse hasn’t changed Dayton’s position on stadium legislation. His stance has been that the public benefits of a new stadium would have to outweigh the public cost, but he hasn’t spelled out details. “We expected it to be an issue this session no matter what,” Tinucci said Monday, adding that the Democrat will look at stadium propos-

als after he takes office in three weeks. Despite the hoopla, stadium critic Phil Krinkie of the Taxpayers Minnesota League said replacing the Metrodome because of storm damage makes about as much sense as replacing the New Orleans Superdome because it was damaged by Hurricane Katrina. And because the last time the roof collapsed was in 1983, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the roof design, he said. “If it doesn’t happen for the next 20 years, I think we still have an extended period of useful life of the facility,” Krinkie said. Melissa Ferderer, 41, a

Spanish teacher in the Minneapolis Public Schools said Monday she opposed using taxpayer money for a new stadium for the Vikings. “I just think that the public spending should go toward things that are good for the general public as opposed to a special section, and I feel there’s too much private profit made off that industry. I would like to see this place revamped,” she said of the dome. But Jeffrey Evander, 32, a graphic designer from Bloomington, said keeping the Vikings was “crucial” and worth a tax increase. “Part of a metropolis, a true city, is having your sports teams,” he said.

Jennings, Bogut help Bucks end Mavs’ streak at 12 DALLAS (AP) — Brandon Jennings had 23 points and 10 assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks rallied from a 20-point second-quarter deficit for a 103-99 victory over the Mavericks on Monday night to end Dallas’ 12-game winning streak. Andrew Bogut had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Keyon Dooling added 16 points for the Bucks, who won their fourth in five games. Dirk Nowitzki scored 30 points and Shawn Marion had 14 for the Mavericks, who hadn’t lost since Nov. 19 to Chicago. Dallas had also won eight straight at home over the Bucks. With the game tied at 79, Marion hit a layup and Nowitzki swished a 3-pointer from the right wing on the next possession to give Dallas an 84-79 lead with 8:50 remaining. But the Bucks stormed back with a 14-0 run capped by Ersan Ilyasova’s 3-pointer with 3:32 to

play for a 97-88 advantage. Bogut had a pair of dunks and John Salmons drained a 3-pointer during the decisive run. Dallas pulled to 101-99 on Nowitzki’s two free throws with 32.8 seconds left. Jennings missed a 21-footer with 18.9 seconds remaining, but Nowitzki couldn’t connect from seven feet with 10.6 seconds to go. Dooling converted two free throws with 9.9 seconds remaining to stretch Milwaukee’s lead to 10399. Caron Butler missed a 3-pointer for Dallas, and the Bucks rebounded to seal it. The Bucks trailed throughout the first half, but they started looking inside after the intermission and were ahead 75-74 entering the final quarter. Milwaukee held a 16-6 edge in points in the paint in the third quarter and got 10 points from Jennings. The Mavericks led 42-22 in the

second quarter, but the Bucks answered with an 11-0 run and narrowed the gap to 52-43 at the break. Notes: Bogut fouled out with 1:06 left. He missed five of six free throws. ... Nowitzki drew a technical foul with less than a second left in the third quarter for protesting his fourth foul of the night. ... Bucks F Drew Gooden was back in the rotation after missing the previous five games with plantar fasciitis in his left heel. Gooden contributed eight points and four rebounds. ... Mavericks PG Jason Kidd and Jennings went to dinner together on Sunday night. Jennings got some advice from the 16-year veteran on playing their position, and then they guarded each other during long stretches in the game. ... Before the game, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle was talking about Nowitzki’s improved defense. As if to prove his coach’s point, Nowitzki had two blocked shots in the game’s opening 4 minutes.

NBA roundup MIAMI (AP) — By recent Miami Heat standards, Monday night’s win counts as close. The Heat trailed early and waited until the end of the third quarter to make their move, winning by double figures for the ninth game in a row by beating New Orleans 96-84. Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, topping 30 for the third consecutive game, and Chris Bosh added 23 points and 11 rebounds. The Heat blew the game open with an 18-2 spurt that put them up 94-77. LeBron James had 20 points and seven assists for Miami, which became the sixth team in NBA history to win nine straight games by at least 10 points or more. And James has had a hand in two of those runs

— Cleveland was the last team to do it, between Nov. 22 and Dec. 9, 2008. Only three teams — the 2007-08 Houston Rockets, 2003-04 New Jersey Nets and 1946-47 Washington Capitols — have won 10 straight by at least 10 points, and the Heat will try to match the NBA record Wednesday against James’ former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

NHL roundup ... DETROIT — Jonathan Quick bounced back from a shaky performance and handed the Detroit Red Wings their first shutout in nearly a year. Quick made 51 saves for his 10th NHL shutout and defenseman Drew Doughty had three assists in the Los Angeles Kings’ 5-0 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Anze Kopitar had two goals, and Wayne Simmonds, Oscar Moller and Jack Johnson also scored for Los Angeles, which has won four of five overall and four straight against the Red Wings. Dustin Brown added two assists to help Quick earn his second shutout this season. “It’s great and all to get all of those saves but at the end of the day, the two points is all that matters,” said Quick, who struggled in Saturday’ s 3-2 home overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. “I was looking to get back out and put that game behind me,” he said. Quick’s 26 saves in the second period went a long way toward that. The Red Wings were last shut out on Jan. 12 in a 6-0 loss to the New York Islanders. Quick’s most spectacular effort of the night came when he dove across the net to get his stick in front of Tomas Holmstrom’s rebound shot during Detroit’s first power play a little over 7:30 into the second period. Thrashers 4, Senators 3 OTTAWA — Bryan Little made the most of the scoring opportunity that opened up in front of him when Ottawa's Jason Spezza tried to make a blind pass. Little jumped on Spezza’s no-look pass in Atlanta's zone and drove down the ice to score his second goal of the game 1:09 into overtime, giving the Thrashers a victory over the Senators on Monday night. Dustin Byfuglien had a goal and an assist for Atlanta, which recovered from blowing a 3-0 lead. Byfuglien assisted on Little's goal late in the first period and scored his ninth goal 17:38 into the second to give the Thrashers the big advantage they eventually squandered. Jim Slater also had a goal, and Chris Thorburn had two assists in the first period. Ondrej Pavelec made 27 saves for Atlanta, which has won 10 of 12. Predators 5, Islanders 0 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Anders Lindback made 28 saves to record his second consecutive shutout, and Patric Hornqvist had two goals to lead the Nashville Predators to a victory over the New York Islanders on Monday night. The Predators have won three straight and are 6-0-2 in their last eight games. New York has lost six in a row and 20 of 21 (1-17-3). Sergei Kostitsyn, Jerred Smithson, and Nick Spaling also scored for Nashville. Kostitsyn gave Nashville a 1-0 lead at 11:15 of the opening period. With the Predators on a power play, Cody Franson had the puck at the right point. He moved to the high slot and fired a shot through was deflected in front by Kostitsyn. It got past Islanders goalie Dwayne Roloson on the glove side to extend Kostitsyn's point streak to a career-best six games. New York is 0-15-2 in games it trailed 1-0. Hornqvist doubled the Nashville lead at 5:22 of the second period. From the high slot, defenseman Shane O’Brien sent a wrist shot on goal. Roloson made the stop, but Hornqvist gathered the rebound and put a shot into the open net for his seventh goal. Just over two minutes after Hornqvist’s goal, Smithson made it 3-0. Hornqvist and Spaling added third-period goals. Spaling’s was his first in the NHL. Flames 3, Blue Jackets 2 CALGARY, Alberta — Jarome Iginla’s second goal of the game at 3:49 of overtime gave the Calgary Flames a victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. The Flames put on enormous pressure deep in the Blue Jackets zone, and Iginla finished the game after being set up in the slot by Alex Tanguay. Iginla scored into an empty net while goalie

Mathieu Garon was trapped out of position. Calgary led 2-0 less than 5 minutes in, but the Blue Jackets rallied and tied it in the third period. After waiting over 55 minutes to receive a power play, Columbus needed only 28 seconds of its first advantage to tie the game at 2. With Adam Pardy off for hooking, Kris Russell faked a shot and sent a pass to Rick Nash at the top of the circle. The Blue Jackets captain scored his 17th goal of the season with a shot over the shoulder of goalie Miikka Kiprusoff. Columbus pressed for the go-ahead goal throughout the third period, generating several dangerous chances around the Flames net. However, when the puck wasn't bouncing just over a stick or trickling wide, the Flames were either lucky — Ethan Moreau put a shot off the goal post — or saved by Kiprusoff. Kiprusoff jabbed out a toe to thwart R.J. Umberger, and then sprawled to deny a wraparound attempt by Antoine Vermette. Avalanche 7, Blackhawks 5 DENVER — Tomas Fleischmann and Matt Duchene scored one minute apart late in the third period to help the Colorado Avalanche rally for a win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night. Colorado trailed 5-4 with 2:24 remaining, but Fleischmann tied it by beating screened goalie Corey Crawford. Duchene added the game winner 60 seconds later, scoring for the second time in the game. Ryan O’Reilly added an insurance goal in the final seconds, with Crawford on the bench, as the Avalanche won their third straight game. Brandon Yip, Paul Stastny and Cody McLeod also had goals for the Avalanche, the NHL’s second-highest scoring team. The Avalanche chased starting goalie Marty Turco 40 seconds into the second period, but struggled to get anything past Crawford — until the final minutes. Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots for Colorado. Troy Brouwer scored twice for the Blackhawks, including the go-ahead goal with 8:17 remaining. Brouwer reached his stick up in front of the net and directed the puck past Anderson. Replay officials took a long look at the goal — making sure Brouwer’s stick wasn't higher than the crossbar. Jack Skille, Bryan Bickell and Jeremy Morin also scored for the Blackhawks. This was a night Turco would rather forget. He allowed four goals on only 10 shots before being pulled. Devils reeling NEWARK, N.J. — For the past 16-plus seasons, playing hockey has been fun for New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur. It was a sport he loved to play. He earned a bundle of money doing it, and the Devils always were a threat to win it all. Talk hockey with Brodeur these days, however, and that ever-present smile isn't always there. For the first time in his long career, the three-time Stanley Cup-champion Devils are no longer competitive and their streak of making the playoffs for 13 consecutive years is in serious jeopardy. They are 17 points out of a playoff berth. This could be the year of the Devils’ demise, and it’s only 29 games into season. How bad is it? The Devils' 18 total points after 29 games is the second worst in the NHL. Only the nearby New York Islanders have fewer points (15) and they have played two less games heading into Monday night’s action. New Jersey also is mired in one of its worst slumps in years, having lost five straight games. The streak is the longest since it lost six in a row (0-5-1) late in 2008-09. All five losses have come in regulation, marking the first time that has happened since November 2000, when it lost six in a row. “It’s tiring playing like that,” Brodeur said. “Not having fun is not fun. We're trying hard. We’re playing hard to change things but it seems not to be working. Hopefully, we’ll get through this.”

Outdoors report: Plenty of successful deer hunters Deer hunting has been the main talk around local sporting goods stores as successful hunters continue to bag trophy white tailed bucks. With the first rut starting to end and cold weather setting in, most hunters should begin to see an increase of activity around their food sources. Hunters who use corn as bait are finding it often being gobbled up within a few days of placing a bag or two. At Hill’s Minnow Farm located on Bringle Ferry Road near High Rock Lake, more than 340 deer have been brought in so far this season. The trophy board has filled

up with some really nice bucks. Across the area hunters have taken advantage of the removal of the daily bag limit on deer. It is not unusual to find a smiling hunter with three deer he just bagged. Hunters are reminded that although there is not a daily bag limit on deer, the season limit on antlered deer remains at two in all season areas except the eastern season and a hunter must have enough “tags” on a harvest report card to cover the deer being taken. In areas of the maximum deer harvest, extra antlerless

deer tags may be purchased for $10 for two. There is no limit on the number you may purchase, but extra tags are only valid for private land. Wildlife officers have been busy responding to various complaints from sportsmen and landowners. Trespassing has been a big concern by both hunter and nonhunters. Regardless if the land is posted or not in Rowan County, entry upon the lands of another for the purpose of hunting, fishing, trapping or operating an all terrain vehicle (ATV) without written permission of the landowner can result in the violator be-

ing arrested and charged with third-degree trespass. Wildlife officers have arrested and charged suspects for night deer hunting, illegal possession of deer, baiting on game lands, hunting in closed season and taking wildlife by the aid of a motor vehicle. Often as a result of an arrest, deer meat, guns, equipment and in one case a pickup have been seized as evidence. Many times after conviction in court, these items are ordered destroyed or forfeited. Sportsmen and other concerned citizens are urged to report suspected hunting vi-

olations to their local wildlife officer or by calling the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Division of Law Enforcement toll free at 800662-7137.

Nature programs during Wilderness Wildlife Week

Burt Hood of Bradford, Vt., loads trees for the holiday season at the Bessette tree Farm in Columbia, N.H.

Keeping deer from Christmas tree farms just got cheaper Hair clippings, cayenne pepper and raw eggs — these are just a few of the odd ingredients recommended to keep those pesky deer away from your backyard garden. But what about farmers who have hundreds of acres of Christmas trees to protect? North Carolina State University extension specialists have now found an effective, inexpensive alternative to available commercial products to keep the deer at bay. The N.C. State researchers, led by Jeff Owen, a Christmastree production specialist, are exploring the use of inexpensive, inedible food byproducts — such as dried blood and egg powder — typically sold in bulk to the pet-food industry to be

used for flavoring. These byproducts cost 85 percent to 90 percent less than their commercial counterparts, and are found to be just as effective. Using these repellents — which can be purchased locally in bulk — may provide tree farmers an early Christmas present. “These products have an unappealing taste, but the decaying smell actually elicits a fear response in the deer and keeps them away from the crops,” Owen says. “We’re continuing to look at similar products — like liver powder and fishmeal — to see if they work the same way.” Owen says that Christmastree farms in North Carolina have long dealt with deer

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Wilderness Wildlife Week in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., offers eight days of programs and activities focused on Great Smoky Mountains National Park, having fun in the great outdoors and enjoying some old-timey mountain music. Dates are Jan. 8-15, as more than 200 experts volunteer their time to conduct 235 programs — 128 of which are new in 2011 — about nature photography, bears, butterflies, elk, camping skills, outdoor safety and scores of other topics. Almost two dozen are devoted to youngsters. New for 2011 is an all-day concentration on outdoor photography called “The Smokies Through the Lens” on Jan. 15. Other special programming includes • AppalachiaFest — A musical celebration of mountain music and dancing (audience participation encouraged) featuring the Carolina Bluegrass Boys, Tony Thomas and Boogertown Gap on Jan. 11 • Cades Cove Memories — Five special programs on Jan. 15 organized by the Cades Cove Preservation Association that focus on this popular portion of Great Smoky Mountains National Park In addition to all the indoor programs, there are 48 hikes and excursions into Great Smoky Mountains National Park, including a llama trek. This will be the 21st year for Wilderness Wildlife Week, a major part of the four-month-long Pigeon Forge Winterfest season. “The week is extremely flexible. You can come just for one program, for one day only or for the whole week,” said Leon Downey of the Pigeon Forge Department of Tourism. “It’s a great way to introduce people to the outdoors.” Wilderness Wildlife Week details are updated frequently at www.MyPigeonForge.com/wildlife. Information about all aspects of visiting Pigeon Forge is at www.MyPigeonForge.com or by calling toll-free to 800-251-9100. Admission to all programs is free.

Not all Fraser fir growers contend with these problems, but where deer populations are high, deer can eat young trees down to a pencilsized stem. Damage can be so extensive that growers have

abandoned fields of young trees. Hard-pressed growers will use a combination of selective hunting, deer repellents and food plots to divert deer from their trees. Owen said commercial deer repellents cost at least $18 per pound, while the dried blood or egg powder, which can be bought in bulk, runs less than $2 per pound.

ing,” he said. The dropoffs have hurt state conservation agencies that rely heavily on license sales for funding. In Massachusetts, the lost revenue has hampered the state’s habitat restoration efforts and its ability to repair its vehicles. State wildlife officials have pooled resources with other conservation groups and pursue federal grants more aggressively, said Marion Larson, a Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game biologist. “It’s forced us to be more creative with money we have,” Larson said. “That’s going to continue into the future, and not just here in Massachusetts .” Michigan, meanwhile, has seen a 31 percent drop in overall license sales over the last 20 years, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The ensuing revenue losses mean wildlife officials haven’t been able to fill 35 vacant positions and have taken a less detailed approach to managing the deer population. In Pennsylvania, license sales have dipped 20 percent over the last two decades. The state’s game commission has had to cut spending by about a million dollars in the last two years, cutting back efforts to repopulate pheasants, leaving 30 positions unfilled and asking employees to repair their own vehicles, Feaser said. Decreasing license sales in Wisconsin, one of the nation’s destination spots for deer hunting, hasn’t been as drastic, falling 2.5 percent over the last 20 years. But the dropoff has grown dramatically steeper in the last decade. License sales for the state’s traditional November firearms deer hunt dropped 9 percent between 2000 and 2009. A fee increase in 2005 has kept revenue relatively flat over the last decade, said Joe Polasek, the state DNR’s budget director. But the money hasn’t covered rising expenses such as building rentals and health insurance, preventing the agency from filling about 60 positions. To help stave off the losses, states and outdoors groups have been stepping up efforts to retain and recruit hunters. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, the National Shooting Sports Foundation and National Wild Turkey Federation launched the program Families Afield in 2005 that calls for states to scale back youth hunting regulations. Thirty states have since reduced or eliminated minimum hunting ages, NSSF spokesman Bill Brassard Jr. said. Michigan officials have offered more hunting workshops for women and children. They also hope to use a federal grant to bolster participation in a decades-old program that pays some landowners up to $10 an acre to let hunters onto their property. Only about 50 farms out of potentially thousands currently

Five deer hunters shot in Iowa really don’t have time to make sure what’s behind you,” Baskins said. Another mistake hunters make, he said, is shooting at a deer on a ridge and the slug goes over the ridge and hits someone on the other side they couldn’t see. “Be careful about shooting uphill. It’ s not a good practice because if you miss, that slug is airborne and something is going to have to stop it and you hope it’s not another hunter,” Baskins said. He said Iowa has tracked hunting deaths and injuries since 1964. In 1965, 20 deer hunters were killed and 95 others were injured. In 1966, 19 people died in deer hunting accidents and 121 were injured. In 1983, Iowa required a hunter safety course for everyone born after Jan. 1, 1972. The course includes gun safety and techniques. “Fundamentals like knowing where others in your party are. Understanding how to place your shot so that you’re not having people in the background in case you miss,” Baskins said. Another key is for hunters to wear a blaze orange vest or coat. “Deer are mostly color-blind. It won’t affect the hunt but it will affect the ability of others to know where you’re at,” he said. Baskins said hunters need to know where all hunters are at all times. “Have a plan ahead of time, then hunt to that plan,” he said. “We also recommend to wait until a deer stops to make a shot. Wear that orange and be highly visible and don’t take those shots uphill,” he said. Baskins said most injuries occur during deer season, but a pheasant hunter was also injured in southern Iowa. The hunter was hit in the leg by a shotgun blast when two hunters fired at a pheasant, authorities said.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Hunters shooting at running deer is one of the biggest causes of injuries or deaths during the shotgun deer season, an official with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources said after a weekend in which five people were shot earlier this month. The five hunters were hit by shotgun blasts. None of the injuries was life-threatening, officials said. “One of the things that’s different about shotgun season, it’s a group or a party of hunters driving deer toward other shooters. There’s a potential for crossfire in those circumstances,” agency spokesman Kevin Baskins said. Baskins estimated there were 100,000 deer hunters in Iowa on the Saturday and Sunday of the year’s first shotgun season in Iowa, which ended Wednesday. The second season opened Saturday and ends Dec. 19. One hunter was shot in the hip near Barnes City in Mahaska County in southern Iowa. Gerald Bader, 71, of Federal Dam, Minn., was hunting with a party of 11 when another hunter took a shot at a running deer. Four other deer hunters were injured on the opening Sunday. Three were shot by others in their hunting party. The fourth was injured when his shotgun discharged into his foot. Baskins said for the last five years, Iowa has averaged seven to eight injuries during the entire deer hunting season. There were no hunting fatalities in 2004, and three since then. This year, a hunter died on Nov. 28 in southern Iowa, during a special Thanksgiving weekend hunt, after he was hit by a wayward shot fired at running deer, officials said. “When you’re taking a shot that fast, you

a network of semi-isolated populations, and they require gene flow between groups to support each other and prevent individual populations from going extinct. If that dynamic breaks down, the entire population could be jeopardized, the Fish and Wildlife Service said. Global warming will threaten that breakdown, the agency said. The reduced snow pack means the cover suitable for wolverines is shrinking, and the distance between the semi-isolated populations is growing, making it more difficult for the wolverine groups to exchange genes, the report states. The wolverine has a broader range in Canada and Alaska, territory separate from the newly designated distinct population segment in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, Utah and California. In Canada, wolverines are considered endangered in the eastern part of the country and a species of special concern in the western part of the nation.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A couple of divers from South Carolina hope to create a seafood market in the state for the spiny, venomous lionfish that have invaded reefs off the coast. The Post and Courier of Charleston reports Vic Depuis and Nate Tarpein hope to create a market by getting divers to hunt lionfish and sell them to seafood outlets. Lionfish taste like grouper or triggerfish, Depuis said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea that is being tried from Puerto Rico and the Caribbean to the Bahamas and the Gulf of Mexico. The invasive, candystriped aquarium fish is considered the worst menace in the oceans of the Western Hemisphere. Native to the western Pacific, the lionfish now have been destroying native fish populations on offshore reefs off South Carolina. Scientists think lionfish entered the Atlantic when Hurricane Andrew cracked open a private oceanside aquarium in Miami in 1992, and six of them escaped. Depuis has designed a spine proof collection bag and has rigged spearfish gear for use by commercial fishermen when a retail market develops in South Carolina. In the Bahamas, fishermen who catch lionfish can charge about $12 a pound, compared with $3 to $5 for snapper. Depuis organized a yearlong lionfish tournament that last year resulted in 1,000 being caught. There is no catch limits on lionfish, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration wants as many killed as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to kill lionfish,â&#x20AC;? said Renata Lana, a NOAA spokeswoman.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Motorists report seeing them slowly crossing primary or secondary roads, residents occasionally find them in the backyard swimming pool and beach-goers sometimes spot them sunbathing on the sand. On Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast, with well over 200,000 of them in the state, alligators can be just about everywhere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of many reasons why the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is proposing a management plan to foster the longterm conservation of the reptile. The plan establishes regulation practices in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine harvest zones based on survey data that will keep the alligator population stable. It also promotes educating the public on the economic benefits of alligators and minimizing the conflicts between humans and the reptiles. This is the first comprehensive plan written for alligators, said John Bowers, assistant chief of the game management section with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This plan formalizes our strategies in how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go about managing the alligators,â&#x20AC;? Bowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For decades, we have been monitoring

to protect the wolverine in 1995 and again in 2000. Two years ago, the agency found the wolverine was not eligible for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act because it did not constitute a distinct population segment. Conservationists sued, and last year the agency agreed to study the matter again. This time, the agency found the population within the contiguous U.S. was distinct and warranted protection. Tim Preso, an attorney with Earthjustice, told the Associated Press the new finding is a breakthrough that reverses past denials by the federal government that the wolverine faces the threat of extinction. However, the wolverine will now be mired in a backlog of other species waiting to receive federal protection, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If history is any guide, it takes a very long time for any action to be taken on this backlog,â&#x20AC;? Preso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being stuck in the waiting room of a hospital when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in need of care.â&#x20AC;? Wolverines likely exist as

HELENA, Mont. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The threat of climate change warrants classifying wolverines as threatened or endangered, but other species are in more imminent danger and will delay protection for the small, ferocious mammals, wildlife officials said Monday. The population of wolverines in the contiguous United States has rebounded to an estimated 250 to 300 since the early 20th century, when predator control in the West nearly wiped them out, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in its report. But their resurgence may be short-lived. Wolverines need adequate spring snow cover to reproduce, but warmer winter temperatures are reducing the snow pack in the West, making climate change the â&#x20AC;&#x153;primary threat to the wolverine population,â&#x20AC;? the report said. Environmental models project the wolverinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; habitat will shrink by roughly a quarter by 2045 and nearly two-thirds by 2099, agency wildlife biologist Shawn Sartorius said. That means the animals will not be added to the federal Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. Instead, it will join the sage grouse, plains bison and hundreds of other species on a candidate species list awaiting federal protection. The length of time the wolverine remains on the candidate list depends on the species ahead of it and when funding would be available to add it to the endangered and threatened species list, Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Diane Katzenberger said. The wolverine is one of a handful species the federal government says needs protection because of the effects of climate change on habitat. Most recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration cited the loss of ice from climate change as a basis for proposing that ringed and bearded seals be listed as a threatened species. Conservation groups petitioned the federal government

the population through a variety of surveys and research efforts. We have taken that information and put it in a formal plan.â&#x20AC;? Due to greater protection, alligators have recovered from their endangered status in 1967, brought on by unregulated harvesting and poaching. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-week long hunting season typically runs from early September through mid-October. More than 7,000 people apply for a hunting license each year, but the majority of applicants are not selected, Bowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may take an individual, depending on (his or her harvest) zone, about three or more years to receive a license,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state-wide quota is set at 850â&#x20AC;? hunters. Last year, the state department received more than $47,000 from hunting license fees for alligators. Bowers said the new management plan basically outlines how the state department currently manages the alligator population and will not change the hunting experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest change weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set down ... is a decision-tree relative to the hunting season for how we will establish quotas and regulate the harvest, which is dependent on population surveys. If alligators in a particular management zone are above a certain level, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll re-evaluate the quota. If it drops below a certain level, (hunting) will be restricted.

Eastern NC still has plenty of place for hunting nearly three decades, has seen a lot of change in hunting. One of the biggest issues is the loss of land due to urbanization development and lands being turned into subdivisions. It has cause a depletion of some habitats for the animals. “Now the land management has changed,” Wall said. “It’s not all urbanization. There are a lot of shopping centers and housing developments in places where people, like me, used to quail hunt.” Habitat loss has affected many of the small game species, but Wall said there are as many deer and bear than ever. “Habitat loss has been a factor for some species,” Wall said. “Then you have got other species, like white-tailed deer, who have flourished. There are probably as many white-tailed deer as there ever have been.” As for quail, Wall said farmers have mowed over their habitat. “Quail are creatures that flourish in the fringe area between the fields and the big woods,” he said. “You will find them out in the middles of these bushy fields. You won’t find them in the big pine plantations.” Norville also added that as some of the hunting grounds have dissipated, he doesn’t see it as being much of an issue. “We’ve lost woodlands as well to developments, but I won’t say it’s a problem,” he said. “I know hunters are opportunistic. They’ve shifted their hunting to other areas where they can hunt. What we

have seen, even though a development has come into a place, we have hunting within some of these developments. Just because you build houses there doesn’t mean you don’t still have deer living within an area.” Tommy Hughes has been a supervising wildlife biologist in charge of the public lands program in the Coastal Region for 24 years. He said Eastern North Carolina has a wide variety of places to hunt anything from bear to waterfowl, and anything in between. One of the biggest draws is the Croatan National Forest — a 160,724-acre forest located in Craven, Carteret and Jones counties. At Croatan, people hunt for deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, rabbit, racoon, squirrel, dove and other waterfowl. “It is a national forest and it has a variety of habitats,” Hughes said. “It features about all your different gamehunting species.” All a hunter needs is a sportsman license, which costs around $40. “The Wildlife Resources Commission does manage quite a bit of public land in Eastern North Carolina. It’s very diverse,” said Norville. “Many of the public lands are in the game lands program. We have a lot of quality hunt-

NEW BERN (AP) — Hunting is part of the Potters’ heritage. For John Potter, his son Matt and his brother Robby, they were born into the sport. Whenever the opportunity comes up, the Potters, along with friend Robbie Corey, head out into the Croatan National Forest to hunt for deer. No matter if they are successful or not, they just enjoy spending time in the “great outdoors.” “It’s a heritage for us,” said John Potter. “Killing a deer is probably second for us. We go to have a good time. That’s what it is all about for us. There’s a group of us and we have a lot more days where we are unsuccessful than when we are successful.” Walking down a path to search for deer, they are always reminded of who preceded them. “When we go back toward the lake and in the game lands, there are paths that my grandfather, years and years ago, used to go,” John Potter said. “There’s a lot of history to us.” The Potters and Corey hit the woods with their dogs that they bred. Although the hunting dogs often frustrate the other still hunters, Robby Potter said the dogs are often a help. “It’s probably the best thing for them because those are animals that are going to make the deer, that will normally move at night, move during the day,” Robby Potter said. “They are going to make the deer get up out of their

bed and make them move.” According to the North Carolina Resource Commission, more than 595,000 acres are available for hunters to scour in the Coastal Region. Whether hunters are targeting big game like bear or deer, or small game, such as quail or waterfowl, Eastern North Carolina has a large variety of woods and forests. While most large portions of land are used for public hunting, many sectors have been marked off for private land owners or large corporations. Robby Norville is a supervising wildlife biologist for the private lands for the Coastal Region. He said hunters have two choices — to hunt on private land or on public land. Much of the private land is either leased by a corporation or used by someone familiar with the family that owns the land. Private land is also leased out to hunting clubs, which are huge around the area. “It could be anyone that owns property, up to corporations that own property that are available for hunting either through lease or permission,” Norville said. Military bases, such as Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune, own land for people associated with the military to use for hunting. “That’s some of the best hunting, especially for turkey, in the state,” said Ed Wall, a Freedom ENC outdoor correspondent.

RALEIGH (AP) — Federal regulators eased up Friday on plans to protect red snapper off the Southeast coast, announcing they will not bar the catch of related species in a particularly rich region. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, meeting in New Bern, said it will allow fishing for grouper, triggerfish, and more than 70 other species with habitats similar to red snapper in a 4,800square-mile zone from southern Georgia to just south of Melbourne, Fla. A ban on both commercial and recreational catches of red snapper imposed in January continues in federal waters between three miles and 200 miles off the coasts of the Carolinas, Georgia and east Florida. Regulators considered extending the ban to other species such as triggerfish because fishermen targeting them often wind up catching red snapper. “When you bring up these fish, there’s a high likelihood that a large proportion would die before you return them to the ocean,” said Scott Baker, a fisheries specialist for North Carolina Sea Grant. The decision is good news for commercial fishermen, said Rutledge Leland, a seafood dealer in McClellanville, S.C. When one area of the ocean is closed to fishermen, they tend to crowd into other areas that remain open, said Leland, who owns Carolina Seafoods. “I’m kind of surprised to tell you the truth. The trend has been to get tighter and tighter to protect the red snapper,” he said. Bob Jones, executive director of the Southeastern Fisheries Association in Tallahassee, Fla., said the zone is prime ground for the popular seafood varieties. The fishing restriction is designed to prevent the overfished red snapper from disappearing from the region’s waters. “This species still is in urgent need of protection,” said Holly Binns, a project manager at the Pew Environment Group. “We hope the council’s well-intentioned effort to ease short-term economic costs does not hurt red snapper in the long run. The species reached this condition in the first place because unsustainable fishing was allowed to continue for decades.”

NYC window displays give rare reason to rejoice NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At a time when so many people are out of work, New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday window display designers are safely employed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and happy to give a gloomy public a respite. Design work on the elaborate creations at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest department stores often begins a year in advance and pays off in oohs and ahhs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when the economy is hurting so much, you need to have some joy,â&#x20AC;? said Patti Solomon, who recently flew in from Atlanta for some holiday sightseeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can look at those windows and remember childhood memories,â&#x20AC;? she said as she stood in front of Saks Fifth Avenueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windows, which show a fashion-conscious girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey in stunning, oneof-a-kind dresses in vignettes. Many of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop fronts sparkle this time of year, but Saks, Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Bloomingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draw the largest crowds. The creations range from highly stylized installation art pieces to more idealized vignettes of days gone by. But they grace the windows for only four to six weeks. Animatronics provide an abridged visual version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miracle on 34th Streetâ&#x20AC;? at Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the department store whose Santa Claus was the basis for the classic film. As people pass by on Seventh Avenue, scenes from the movie are revealed through sets that collapse or slide. They are made of laser- and hand-cut paper in more than 100 colors combined with mechanically controlled, animat-

AssociAted press

crowds cluster around christmas-themed window displays in Newâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;York department stores ed figures. The project required 7,084 hours of work from 14 paper artisans. Designer Paul Olszewski worked with an animation company to give his windows a â&#x20AC;&#x153;more cinematic and theatrical feel.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always push technology, but I also wanted to combine an artistry with it, too,â&#x20AC;? Olszewski said. Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window displays are assembled off site and then installed as finished pieces by forklift, he said. But Saks, whose window design team is led by Julio Gomez, assembles its displays on site, piece by piece. Working in a confined window space can be challenging,

especially when the materials include tree branches, wood paneling, linoleum, garland and paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My background is very much hands-on sculptural, welding, carpentry, painting and all of those things have pretty much come in handy doing this,â&#x20AC;? Gomez said. Bloomingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokespeople declined to comment on the cost of their holiday displays; a call to Saks was not returned. The artistry that window designers put into their displays is dedicated to all the people who walk by every day, Gomez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very unselfish thing

that we are doing here,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bloomingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decided to go all out this year and produce holiday windows using more than 100 LCD screens created by a team of computer graphic artists, lead designer Jack Hruska said. It shows a stylized winter scene in which a bird decorates trees magically as it flies past. At the Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miracle on 34th Streetâ&#x20AC;? display, the awe of those creations was evident in the eyes of a little girl. When her parents asked the central question of the movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you believe?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? her eyes fixed on the windows.

SeaWorld crew saves baby whale at beach SAN DIEGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A wounded baby sperm whale was treated with antibiotics and escorted back to sea early Monday after getting stranded on rocks north of San Diego. The young whale, 15 to 18 feet long and weighing about 3,000 pounds, was rescued from rocks at Torrey Pines State Beach near La Jolla Underwater Park on Sunday, a spokesman for SeaWorld San Diego said.

The sex couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be determined, said David Koontz, director of communications for SeaWorld. The SeaWorld Animal Rescue Team, a group of 20 veterinarians, trainers and rescue workers, arrived about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Koontz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had rubbed itself on the rocks and had minor wounds,â&#x20AC;? Koontz said. The whale was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly robust in its movement and was making a lot of click-

ing noises. It was not overly lethargic,â&#x20AC;? Koontz said. Shortly after midnight, the rescue group took the whale about a quarter mile out to sea and turned it loose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It swam away freely on its own, another good sign,â&#x20AC;? Koontz said. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the whale was headed north or south. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping it stays at sea,â&#x20AC;? Koontz said.

Man accused of cyberstalking sorority pledges at colleges TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Florida man accused of using Facebook to harass Louisiana State University sorority pledges and pressure them into sending him nude pictures also is a suspect in other states, authorities said Friday. Campus police officers at LSU and Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents on Thursday arrested 27year-old Mitchell Hill at a home in Key West, where he works as a chef at a Cuban restaurant. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing only Louisiana charges so far, but FDLE spokesman Keith Kameg said Hill is suspected in cyber-stalking investigations by police at the University of Florida, Florida State University and possibly other Florida schools. Similar cases also have been reported at Auburn University, the University of Alabama and University of Tennessee, but investigators said there probably are others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a huge sense of reliefâ&#x20AC;? knowing there has been an arrest, said 18-yearold Florida State student Ashley Atchison, who temporarily left school because she was so traumatized. Hill, who moved to Florida from Cincinnati within the past two years, was being held without bond in the Monroe County Jail after he refused to waive extradition during a court appearance Friday in Key West. He is charged with two counts of extortion, two counts of video voyeurism and 12 counts of attempted video voyeurism. Extortion is the most serious charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. The video voyeurism charge can carry up to five years in prison. Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Richard Fowler, said he was representing Hill locally on a drunken driving charge and in extradition proceedings. He had no comment on the charges. Campus police in

Louisiana and Florida say victims in both states were contacted through Facebook by someone claiming to be an alumna of the sorority they were pledging. The stalker used fake names that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marissaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lexie,â&#x20AC;? asked intimate questions, and demanded that victims disrobe on camera or send nude photographs. If they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply, the stalker would threaten their standing with their sorority, said LSU police Sgt. Blake Tabor. Atchison said in a telephone interview from her home in Jacksonville that she refused the demands for images by claiming she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a camera. Then â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lexieâ&#x20AC;? began playing HILL mind games and suggested a couple girls who were outside her dorm would â&#x20AC;&#x153;handleâ&#x20AC;? her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started going to the counseling center because I was having whacky dreams and I was put on medicine because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleeping,â&#x20AC;? Atchison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of creepy when somebody knows where your dorm is, what your class schedule is.â&#x20AC;? Hill was resourceful in finding personal information about the victims on Facebook, Tabor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping is that through this investigation that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll heighten peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of the information that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting out there and just how easily attainable it is,â&#x20AC;? Tabor said. LSU investigators had been working on the case since early October and finally got a break when Facebook provided data that led to Hill, Tabor said. Authorities will ask Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to request that Hill be extradited to Louisiana. But that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen until a drunken driving charge against Hill is resolved in Florida.

Myth 7: If things get too bad, I can always file for bankruptcy and get a fresh start. Reality: Bankruptcy is a very serious matter, not an easy way out. It will impact your life negatively for a very long time. Bankruptcy does not represent a clean slate, but rather a 10-year sentence. Myth 8: I am a loser and a failure because I am in such terrible financial trouble. My situation is completely hopeless. Reality: No situation is completely hopeless. There is a way out.

strategy because you are using someone else’s money. Reality: Buying on credit isn’t a matter of using others’ money; it is a very expensive rental agreement. Myth 5: If I don’t buy things on credit, I never will have anything! Reality: If you don’t buy things on credit, you won't have something, all right; you won’t have debt! If you want something badly enough, save for it first. Then buy it. It is a brilliant concept. Myth 6: These days, it takes two incomes to keep up financially. Reality: It is quite possible to live well on a single income, provided you are willing to learn how to stretch it twice as far.

how to take care of the money you have already, more money never will be enough. Myth 2: I can have it all. I work hard and make a decent living, and I deserve to have nice things. Reality: You cannot have it all. But you can have enough. Myth 3: Buying things on sale is a great way to save money. Reality: Buying things on sale is a way to spend less money (unless you buy twice as much because it’s on sale), but unless you stop at the bank on the way home and deposit the difference between the regular price and the sale price, you’re not saving at all; you’re only spending.

I’ve tried to send subtle hints and notso-subtle hints, but I’m getting nowhere. My husband says to just accept what is, but I hate that other family members feel unappreciated. Any suggestions? — Sous-Chef Sister Dear Sister: You should start by asking your sister if she would like to host the meal at her house. Depending on her answer, then you could ask her why, year after year, she brings the entire meal to yours. She may respond that she is so grateful for your hosting that she is trying to repay your generosity the only way she knows how — through food. If so, then next year you could ask her to supply the meal. Otherwise, you should explain that her actions are really throwing you off and that it’s a little embarrassing to be undermined in this way every year. You shouldn’t let it pass unremarked upon, but there’s no need to start a food fight, either.

being ignored socially by you that she is now snubbing you when you’d like to make money off of her. It doesn’t seem to occur to either of you that maybe she simply doesn’t care to spend time with you, no matter the occasion. I don’t know if you’ve broken a silent etiquette rule, though you definitely qualify as someone who has a lot of nerve. You could safely interpret this woman’s silence as a reason to take her off of your solicitation list. Dear Amy: I know we should be thankful for everything we have, but sometimes it is hard to be thankful for excess. My husband and I host my family for our holiday meal each year. We cook the turkey, stuffing and potatoes, and the rest of the meal is potluck with family members contributing dishes. And every year, without fail, my sister brings the whole meal! I tried to prevent it this year by asking her to bring a salad and dessert. Initially she agreed, but then she called to tell me she’d be bringing turkey, stuffing, vegetables, three desserts, fruit, cranberry sauce and beverages. While I appreciate her generosity, the rest of the family feels they’ve been dissed (and I feel I’ve cooked a nice meal for no good reason). This should be a happy occasion, but it is not fun!

Dear Amy: Did I break some kind of silent etiquette rule? I invited several of the ladies who work at my husband’s office to a Tupperware-type party. (Yes, I know that there is a profit in it for me, but that’s the way these things work.) Anyway, most of the women either came to the party or at least purchased something ahead of time from me. One lady didn’t. She didn’t RSVP to the party, she didn’t attend the party and she didn’t purASK chase anything. AMY Now she gives my husband the cold shoulder. He surmises that it is probably because we don’t invite her to our regular parties (we do invite others from his office). He says she’s probably angry because I only included her in this party, where there was an assumption of her buying something from me. I say he is full of beans. I see nothing wrong with inviting her to this type of party only. It is my choice. What do you say? — Wondering in Wellington Dear Wondering: Your husband presumes that his co-worker is so stung by

Departing economic adviser says tax cuts will spur consumer spending ed with the president and Senate Republicans “averts what could have been a serious collapse in purchasing power.” “And it adds far more fiscal support” — stimulus spending through tax credits, payroll tax cut and jobless benefits — than “most observers thought politically plausible,” he said. Beyond that, however, Summers said the nation needs to increase exports sig-

nificantly and pointed to Obama’s goal of doubling the sale of American goods abroad over the next five years and his push to open up foreign markets. He also called for government and the private sector to take advantage of low interest rates and depressed costs of materials to rebuild infrastructure and tackle long-deferred maintenance. Summers, who is leaving

the White House at the end of the year to return to Harvard University, said the risks of deflation and economic stagnation exceed the risk of high inflation, countering recent criticism of Federal Reserve policies. He cited Japan’s long recession in the 1990s as both “disturbing and instructive.” He said Japan’s experience “carries lessons that it is a serious mistake to be complacent part way through an eco-

Ten Things you can do today to stop global warming. 1. Change a light. REPLACING ONE REGULAR LIGHT BULB WITH A COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHT BULB WILL SAVE 150 POUNDS OF CARBON DIOXIDE A YEAR. 2. Drive less. WALK, BIKE, CARPOOL OR TAKE A BUS MORE OFTEN. YOU’LL SAVE ONE POUND OF CARBON DIOXIDE FOR EVERY MILE YOU DON’T DRIVE! 3. Recycle more. YOU CAN SAVE 2400 POUNDS OF CARBON DIOXIDE PER YEAR BY RECYCLING JUST HALF OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD WASTE! 4. Check your tires. KEEPING YOUR TIRES INFLATED PROPERLY CAN IMPROVE GAS MILEAGE BY MORE THAN 3%. AND EVERY GALLON OF GASOLINE SAVED KEEPS 20 POUNDS OF CARBON DIOXIDE OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE!

5. Use less hot water. INSTALL A LOW FLOW SHOWERHEAD (350 POUNDS OF CO2 SAVED PER YEAR) AND WASHING YOUR CLOTHES IN COLD WATER (500 POUNDS SAVED PER YEAR) 6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging.

Woman seeks explanation for left-sided body sweats Dear Dr. Gott: I’m a 58-yearold female who only sweats on the left side of my body. I believe it started four years ago, when I awoke with my nose red, swollen and throbbing badly. After suffering for two days, I finally went to a doctor who wanted me to have an IV of Levaquin, but with no insurance, I chose it orally for 14 days. After that is when I noticed sweating on my left side only. I get so exDR. PETER tremely hot GOTT when I work outside or exercise that it takes me a long time to cool back down. The only medicine I take is Synthroid for hypothyroidism. I would appreciate any information you can provide. Dear Reader: Levaquin, a broad-range antibiotic, does carry a rare side effect of increased sweating. Synthroid’s side effects include flushing, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, joint pain and more (all signs of hyperthyroidism), but neither drug indicates sweating on one side of the body only. There are a few possibilities we might consider. The first is anhidrosis. This condition is marked by an inability to sweat, causing the body to overheat and difficulty cooling down. In mild cases it may only affect one part of the body or small patches. In severe forms, the entire body may be affected. It may be the result of nerve damage, certain medications, skin damage,

dehydration, genetic factors and more. Anhidrosis can also cause hyperhidrosis of the areas of the body that are able to sweat. This is characterized by profuse sweating. It can affect patches of the body, half or the entire body depending on the severity. While the exact cause of hyperhidrosis remains unknown, hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system due to a variety of triggers has been found in these patients. Another possibility is arachnoiditis, a non-specific inflammatory process of the arachnoid membrane (the middle of the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord). Symptoms might include neuropathic pain, night sweats and fever, with temperatures at the forehead, medial knees and thorax varying from side to side with one side cold and wet while the opposite is warm and dry. Autonomic neuropathy, another consideration, is a nerve disorder that affects, among other things, perspiration. The damage to the autonomic nerves can disrupt signals between the brain and portions of the nervous system and sweat glands. Some medications are known to cause autonomic neuropathy, as with diabetes, an abnormal buildup of protein in the organs (amyloidosis), alcoholism and some autoimmune disorders, such as Sjogren’s syndrome, systemic lupus, Parkinson’s disease, nerve injury from trauma and rheumatoid arthritis. While it’s a stretch, atopic dermatitis might be considered. This presents as inflammation of the skin that itches and may be associated with

asthma or hay fever. It is thought to result from a malfunction of the body’s immune system. Factors that worsen the condition, among other things, include sweating and rapid changes in temperature. I am aware of your lack of insurance; however, you should be seen by an endocrinologist, who can order appropriate testing so you can get to the bottom of this annoying condition. Be sure to explain your financial situation and request that only the most appropriate and limited work be performed. Perhaps there is a clinic connected with your local health care facility that can perform necessary testing. If not, speak with the lab/hospital/X-ray facility or other medical center regarding a payment plan that will fit your budget. Don’t let a lack of insurance keep you from seeking the help you need. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Medical Specialists.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order payable to Newsletter and forwarded to PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

In the coming months, your enterprising and courageous ways should work out to your advantage, provided you are very careful not to allow your boldness to supersede judgment. Think things through carefully before acting. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If your grip is too lax, money will have an easy time slipping through your fingers. Concentrate on plugging the holes to keep safe whatever you had accumulated. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will be extremely tolerant with an outsider who commits an infraction, but when it comes to a family member who does the same thing, it is likely to be another story. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t seethe in silence if someone you like unintentionally takes advantage of your kindness. Find a diplomatic way to address the situation so that the other person can rectify it. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Unless you are on guard, you could foolishly fritter your money away on meaningless things. Concentrate on what you’re doing so that you don’t fall prey to wasteful urges. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Although you’re a quite capable person, you might not be realistic about your limitations. Don’t put your reputation on the line by promising to do something you aren’t prepared to handle. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — When conversing with a friend who is known to have a short fuse, be especially careful when weighing your words. One thoughtless remark could set the sparks flying. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Just because a good friend might inadvertently be a bit too curious about something you consider to be extremely confidential doesn’t mean you have to tell all. Play it close to the vest. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There is no rule that says you must ignore your own well-considered good judgment and yield to someone who historically makes poor decisions, just because s/he wants you to. Stay the course. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A failure to show respect for the abilities and intelligence of a coworker or someone with whom you associate every day could cause a huge squabble. Don’t criticize anybody or anything. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Take care not to misinterpret someone’s independent manner as a sign of disloyalty, and don’t be unreasonable about this person’s desires to be left alone to do his/her own thing. Give him or her lots of space. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When it comes to keeping peace within the family circle, be reasonable about one member’s desire to break away. Anger and bickering will prevail if you hold on too tightly. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When it comes to your work, make it a point to keep your mind focused on the job at hand. If you are careless or impatient and fail to do your part, it will make it hard on all your co-workers. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

There might be a twist in the tail BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

On many deals it is impossible to predict and prepare for all the plays that the defenders might make. This deal is an example. How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the heart king? North’s three-club rebid showed a very strong hand (usually 18-20 high-card points) with five or more diamonds and four-plus clubs. You rebid three no-trump, hoping for a spade lead, but West’s hearts were so strong that he knew what to do. You have six top tricks: one spade, one heart, three diamonds and one club. You can take the spade finesse. If it loses immediately, you

will get three tricks there. However, a strong defender sitting East with the spade king will not take the first trick in the suit, even with

king-doubleton. Then you might gain only two spade tricks because you have no hand entry left. Also, you should get a fourth diamond trick, and on a very good day you will collect five winners from that suit. First, though, you must hold up your heart ace until the third round of the suit, discarding two clubs from the dummy. Then you run the spade queen. When it wins, you continue with the spade jack. Let’s assume West ducks again (best). Now you should turn to diamonds, playing four rounds of the suit. East can do nothing because you have nine winners: three spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. What might a defender have done differently? Tune in tomorrow.

‘Social Network’ makes virtual sweep of awards NEW YORK (AP) — “The Social Network” continued its virtual sweep of the early awards season, earning best film from the New York Film Critics Circle. David Fincher, director of the Facebook drama, won best director in the awards, announced Monday. The New York critics followed the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Online in choosing “The Social Network” as the year’s best film. The NYFCC awarded best actor to Colin Firth for the British monarchy tale “The

King’s Speech” and best actress to Annette Bening for the lesbian family drama “The Kids Are All Right.” The New York critics were particularly high on “The Kids Are All Right,” honoring Mark Ruffalo for best supporting actor and Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg for best screenplay. Melissa Leo won best supporting actress for her performance in the boxing drama “The Fighter.” “Black Swan,” which on Sunday picked up a record 12 nominations from the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, was awarded best cinematography for the work by Matthew Liba-

tique. The New York reviewers are among the influential critics groups that suggest potential favorites ahead of the Feb. 27 Academy Awards. The Oscar race will get a strong injection of drama Tuesday morning when the Golden Globes nominations are announced. The NYFCC, which was founded in 1935, will present its awards at a Jan. 10 event in New York. A collection of newspaper, magazine and online critics, it describes its annual awards as “a principled alternative to the Oscars, honoring esthetic merit in a forum that is immune to commercial and political pressures.”

SALISBURY POST

W E AT H E R

Expect cold temperatures to persist over the Central US on Tuesday and wet and snowy conditions persist on both coasts. A deep low pressure system spinning over the Northeast slowly moves northward and into eastern Canada. Flow around this system continues pushing moisture onshore, allowing for scattered rain showers over the extreme Northeast, with snow at high elevations of Vermont and Hew Hampshire. Rainfall totals will be lighter than Monday, but snowfall totals may reach up to 4 inches in the mountains. Along the back side of this system, expect strong flow from the north. This will produce more lake effect snow as flow over the Great Lakes picks up moisture and dumps heavy, wet snow along the southern shores. Expect another 2-4 inches of snow over northeastern New York, northeastern Pennsylvania, and northern Ohio. Blustery conditions are also expected across the region to a drastic chance from high pressure in the Plains to low pressure in the East. Expect wind gusts over the Great Lakes and Midwest to reach up to 20 mph. Expect another chilly day over the Plains. High pressure over the Plains continues pulling cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for more sunny skies with highs below 10 degrees in the North, while the Central Plains will only reach into the 30s. Frost and freeze advisories are in effect for the South as overnight lows dip into the 20s for a few hours again on Tuesday night. In the West, more wet and snowy conditions are anticipated over the Pacific Northwest as a low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska moves into British Columbia and pushes a cold front onshore. This cold front will continue bringing rain and high elevation snow Washington, Oregon, as well as northern California. Expect another cooler day with highs in the 50s and 60s in the West West.
