LEE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL HOMECOMING
Sluggish economy hurts tax revenues County’s tax intake 3 percent behind this time last year By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Lee County tax revenues are filtering in slowly this year, but county officials say it’s only a sign of the times. County finance chief Lisa Minter told commissioners this week that tax collections are running nearly 3 percent behind this time last year. Minter pointed to the lagging revenues as a sign of the continuingly sluggish economy in Lee County. Finance leaders across the state have weathered dribbling revenue streams throughout the recession, drastically cutting into county budget books. Meanwhile, unemployment remains in the double-digits in Lee County, although recent numbers have indicated an improving job market. Lee Tax Administrator Dwayne Brinson said the slow cash flow is the result of efforts by his office this year to allow cashstrapped locals to stretch out their tax payments over time. “There’s really no reason to be alarmed at this point,” Brinson said. Minter said the slowed payments have not become a cash flow issue for the county yet. She added that the local sales tax revenues are meeting expectations, while revenues drawn from area permitting fees are up on an upward slope. “That’s a good sign for us,” Minter said. Increased permitting indicates improving construction activity, a sign of an accelerating economy, economists say.

Almanac Today is Saturday, Oct. 23, the 296th day of 2010. There are 69 days left in the year. This day in history: On Oct. 23, 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers. In 1864, forces led by Union Gen. Samuel R. Curtis repelled Confederate Gen. Sterling Price’s army in the Civil War Battle of Westport in Missouri. In 1910, Blanche S. Scott became the first woman to make a public solo airplane flight, reaching an altitude of 12 feet at a park in Fort Wayne, Ind. The Philadelphia Athletics won the World Series, defeating the Chicago Cubs in Game 5, 7-2. In 1915, tens of thousands of women marched in New York City, demanding the right to vote. In 1942, during World War II, Britain launched a major offensive against Axis forces at El Alamein in Egypt. In 1950, entertainer Al Jolson died in San Francisco at age 64. In 1956, a student-sparked revolt against Hungary’s Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces started entering the country, and the uprising was put down within weeks. In 1973, President Richard Nixon agreed to turn over White House tape recordings subpoenaed by the Watergate special prosecutor to Judge John J. Sirica.

Pinehurst board seeks comments on townhouses
A different year, a different challenge for Senate District 18
PINEHURST (MCT) — A proposed zoning amendment would allow a developer to more than triple the number of townhouses he would currently be allowed to build on a 4-acre tract of land. At a special meeting this afternoon, the Pinehurst Planning and Zoning Board will ask for public input on whether to allow Michael Donninger to build 16 units per acre on property at Magnolia and McCaskill roads. The property is currently zoned for 5.25 units per acre with a requirement that 35 percent of the land remains open. Earlier this year, Donninger tried to convince Village Council members to permit 10 units per acre on the property. His proposal was voted down in April. After meeting with Donninger last month at a work session, Village Council members asked Pinehurst staff to draw up a zoning amendment that would require more open space -- 50 percent per acre- but allow the Old Traditions of Pinehurst development to build 16 units per acre. Village Councilwoman Joan Thurman said the council thought it was important for the project to move forward, rather than allow the lot to sit vacant. Councilman Doug Lapins said council members wanted the development to have more open space and the 16 units per acre came out of their negotiations with Donninger. — Fayetteville Observer
BY RAY GRONBERG The Durham Herald-Sun
DURHAM — Voters in three counties get to cast ballots this year in a state Senate District 18 race that rematches incumbent Democrat Bob Atwater and Republican challenger Roger Gerber. Atwater, 65, had no trouble defeating Gerber in 2008 during their first face-off. He took 69 percent of the vote to the challenger’s 31 percent. But this is a different year, and polling data has Republicans feeling optimistic about their chances across the state this time around. The state Senate – split 30-20 in favor of Democrats – is thought to be vulnerable to a changeover in party control. The Democrats have not been in the minority in the state Senate for 112 years. The GOP last was in the majority in 1898, at the end of Reconstruction, according to the N.C. Republican Senate Caucus website, www.ncstatesenate.com. The state General Assembly research division said the last time the GOP controlled the state House and Senate concurrently was 1870. Democrats are playing defense in part because
they’re having to field new candidates to replace political retirees like former Gaston County Sen. David Hoyle who had managed to hold office in conservative-leaning districts. District 18 covers all of Chatham and Lee counties, and the southwest corner of Durham County. The Durham portion includes 42 percent of the district’s registered voters, and covers suburban neighborhoods like Parkwood, Woodcroft and Chancellor’s Ridge. Atwater, who lives in eastern Chatham County near Jordan Lake, is seeking his fourth term. The former UNC administrator got his start in politics in 2000, winning and serving one term on the Chatham County Commissioners. He stepped up to the Senate in 2004, and now chairs its committee on agriculture, the environment
and natural resources. The most low-profile member of Durham’s legislative delegation, Atwater favors moves to revamp what he terms an “out of date” state tax structure. He would among other things target loopholes that have allowed out-ofstate companies to dodge North Carolina taxes through the use of affiliated shell corporations. He also favors new small-business tax credits, and on the spending side argues that legislators need to “fully audit and review” what’s gone to the state’s mental health care system. A legislative study committee is already looking at administrative costs. Atwater also favors taking steps to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, by encouraging the use of renewable energy sources like wind power. That view is rather
sharply at odds with Gerber’s. The challenger told The Independent, a Durham newsweekly, that he didn’t think government should do anything about global warming. “Stop eating beans and let the free market decide,” he said. Gerber, 62, is a prominent charter-school advocate who’s helped launch several of the independent, publicly funded schools. He favors eliminating the existing 100-school cap on charters. He also would support capping annual stategovernment spending at 5 percent of the privatesector economy, a mark that in pre-recession 2008 would have forced legislators to slash roughly $1.3 billion from the state’s budget. Gerber, who lives in northern Chatham County

near its border with Orange and Alamance counties, favors tight limits on local-government authority. He told the N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation, a conservative group, that he would oppose giving cities and counties a broader range of tax or fee options, including school-impact fees. Chatham County has special legislation that allows it to levy impact fees. Durham County doesn’t. Registration-wise, 51 percent of District 18’s 130,380 voters are Democrats; 23 percent are Republicans. From a demographic standpoint the district’s electorate is predominantly white. Some 74 percent of registered voters are white; 19 percent are black.

Divided board for District 4; slight nod to Womack DISTRICT 4 CANDIDATES LEE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ❏ The candidates: Challenger Jim Womack (Republican) and challenger Butch Johnson (Democrat)
A
nd we said the District 3 commissioner candidates were opposites. District 4 hopefuls Butch Johnson and Jim Womack couldn’t be more different. Johnson, a Democrat, is homegrown, soft-spoken and likable. Unfortunately, he’s more or less a clone of a few go-withthe-flow commissioners who currently occupy the county board. The Republican Womack, on
the other hand, isn’t from here, is brash and isn’t quite as likable — his sometimes less-thancordial approach to discussing issues doesn’t always play well in a county where voters often put “personality” right up there with “effectiveness.” Fortunately, if elected, Womack will bring debate and more analysis to a board that sorely needs it. In our analysis of this race, we learned there’s a lot to like and a lot to worry about with both candidates. Johnson knows Lee County well, and coming up on the law enforcement side, he has pledged to make public safety a priority should he be elected.
And we commend his passion on the topic and his proven desire to serve in public office in his home county. But Johnson — who, granted, entered the race late when a conflict of interest forced Democrat Kenneth Cole to withdraw — has failed to convince us he is prepared for some of the challenges this board is certain to face in the next four years, such as a tight budget and more involvement in the way the county goes after businesses and new jobs. In all, you’ll be getting “much of the same” with Johnson should you cast a ballot with a mark next to his name on Nov.
2. If that’s what you want in the next four years, he’s your man. Womack appears more versed on the budget process and has promised to “take a knife” to it should he be elected. We admire the energy he’s brought to his campaign, and we feel that should he join Shook, who we endorsed for District 3, the board will benefit from that “conservative balance.” His military background would also be an asset to a community fighting to attract families and businesses expected to move to central N.C. as part of BRAC. But this board isn’t entirely sold on Womack either. We’re put off by a number of recent
questionable (often headscratching and possibly unethical) campaign tactics which, sadly, offset the strong qualities we see in this candidate. And we worry about what his “budget knife” will do to programs we feel are necessary and beneficial to the quality of life and future of Lee County — programs that will attract the very people he’s trying to bring in when he touts his military and economic recruitment abilities. We don’t question the intentions or passion of either candidate, but The Herald’s editorial board was divided on this pick, with slight edge to Womack, despite reservations about him.

Auto bailout
A
mong the mysteries of public opinion, this one most strains the brain: Why do so many Americans think the government rescue of Detroit automakers was a bad — nay, an evil — thing? The bailout has been a rousing success, and that’s the business press talking. The Economist magazine opposed the bailout. Now it writes, “An apology is due to Barack Obama: His takeover of GM could have gone horribly wrong, but it hasn’t.” As Obama “car czar” Steven Rattner told Bloomberg BusinessWeek, “I find it mind-boggling that these companies have come out of bankruptcy, yet a plurality of the country still thinks it was a bad idea for the government to get involved.” Perhaps Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert best explained the public’s lack of gratitude: “This was a success for the Obama administration, taking over these companies, and so like most Americans, I’ve forgotten it.” Two years ago, General Motors and Chrysler were headed for oblivion. Letting these companies reorganize under normal Chapter 11 bankruptcies, as many free-marketeers advocated, would have ended in failure. Recall how the financial markets, in full panic mode, froze credit. “It is more likely,” The Economist writes, “that GM would have been liquidated, sending a cascade of destruction through the supply chain on which its rivals, too, depended.” An additional 1 million jobs would have gone poof. The industrial Midwest could have utterly collapsed. The psychological blow of seeing GM — the symbol of American manufacturing might — go down amid a terrifying Wall Street meltdown would have spread economic disaster coast to coast. Thanks to the government intervention, General Motors is out of bankruptcy and again turning profits. Chrysler is stabilized. Last April, GM paid back its loan in full and with interest years ahead of schedule. Next month, the Treasury will begin selling off its ownership of GM through an initial public offering of stock. Yet many tea party/Republican politicians persist in portraying this story as one of government overreach forced on good Americans by Washington socialists. They totally forget the economic mayhem that was gripping the country. Or perhaps they simply welcome any opportunity to bash unions. Back in the scary days, Sen. Jim DeMint, the South Carolina Republican, rejected extending taxpayer support to the flailing auto companies. He said that “we’re not going to do it with the barnacles of unionism wrapped around their necks.” ... Most inexplicably, these “antigovernment” candidates are gaining ground with blue-collar voters, including in the Midwest. ... The $86-billion bailout was a gamble, all right, but it was a bet that America won. And it was won not through dumb luck but the administration’s skilled management of the bankruptcy. And the good news keeps coming. At the last count, the bailout’s actual cost to taxpayers has fallen to $17 billion, according to the Detroit News.
Literary heritage H
ere is one of the highest compliments I can give a book: It is a lot better at what it does than my book, “Interstate Eateries,” does for North Carolina home cooking restaurants. I love my little book that guides its readers to about 100 local eateries near our state’s interstate highways. But Georgann Eubanks new “Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont” makes mincemeat of my book. Eubanks guides her readers through hundreds, maybe thousands, of places connected to literary history in the cities, towns, and countrysides of North Carolina’s central counties. You can choose your North Carolina topic, from Civil Rights to Civil War, from leading businesses to millworkers, from plantation owners to sharecroppers, and Eubanks will have found the literary connections. Just to illustrate, here are some of the literary connections to eateries on her tours of the Piedmont. ■ The Rocky River Springs Fish House near Aquadale in Stanly County, a favorite of poet and short story writer Ruth Moose, who set her first story, “The Swing,” at the nearby Silver Spring Baptist Church. Moose says of the restaurant, “They have the best tea in the world, sweet tea that comes from the natural springs there that gave Aquadale its name.” ■ Cool Beanz Cafe and Books in Mocksville where, Eubanks writes, “A good selection of coffees and teas and used paperbacks makes this a warm stop on a cold day.” ■ Escape the Daily Grind in Spencer, noted by Poet Janice Moore Fuller for coffee, pastry and readings by local authors ■ The “spectacularly retro” What-aBurger Drive-In in Mooresville, which may be the Dixie Burger in the novels of Judith Minthorn Stacy. ■ Copper, an Indian restaurant recommended by Charlotte poet Diana Pinckney, located in the house where Carson McCullers lived as she began work on “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.” ■ Cornerstone Cafe, in Central Falls near Asheboro, noted by poet Barbara Presnell. The building, formerly known as Old Rock Store, is made of quartz stones. ■ The Biscuitville chain (all over North Carolina, but concentrated in the Greensboro area) where novelist Susan Kelly wrote her first two novels and which Amy Jo Wood praised in her essay, “The Buddhas of Biscuitville.” ■ Tate Street Coffee House in Greensboro, owned by writer Ann Fitzmaurice Russ and husband Matt. ■ Cole’s Pharmacy in Roxboro, formerly Sergeant & Clayton’s Grocers, a site in Dawn Shamp’s “On Account of Conspicuous Women.” Eubanks writes that locals gather “for gossip, excellent fresh-squeezed orangeade and pimiento cheese or chicken salad sandwiches at lunchtime.”
D.G. Martin Columnist D.G. Martin is host of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch
■ Cup-a-Joe in Hillsborough, where you might spot one of that town’s many writers or be treated to a poem by Mike Troy “just written to share with the patrons.” ■ Johnson’s in Siler City, recommended by novelist Virginia Boyd, who says that “you have to get there early” because they close “once they run out of fresh hamburger.” ■ College Bar-B-Que Drive-In in Salisbury, a favorite of John Hart, and, according to Eubanks, an “unnamed site” in Hart’s “The King of Lies.” ■ Blue Mist Barbecue in Randleman, a hangout for Holly George-Warren, a writer about music and former editor of Rolling Stone Press. ■ Lexington Barbecue, recommended by Jack Riggs, author of “When the Finch Rises” set in a fictional town called Ellenton, but obviously really Lexington. ■ The Old Hickory House Restaurant in Charlotte, recommended by Judy Goldman, who included a scene there in her novel “Early Leaving.” To seal the partnership between barbecue and the literary world, Eubanks shares a poem by Chapel Hill poet Margaret Rabb that includes these lines: “. . . Amen, hogs. Dance on, shoulder to shoulder, cheek by jowl, let hocks shudder, Let hickory flames rise around you, consume all flesh until it sputters into burnt communion.” Put “Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont” in your glove compartment, right alongside “Interstate Eateries.” D.G.

Informed taxpayers who are aware of the economic disaster brought about by Jimmy Love Sr. and his colleagues in the General Assembly certainly are scratching their heads on the endorsement of Jimmy Love by Sheriff Tracy Carter. Sheriff Carter, how can you say, “Jimmy’s just what’s best for Lee County” when Jimmy: ■ Voted to increase every tax the citizens in Lee County pay — sales tax, gas tax and income taxes. The ultimate insult by Jimmy Love was voting to tax us on our income tax (the surtax) in order to increase state revenues. ■ Voted for the Racial Justice Act. Almost all of the murderers on death row have appealed to have their death sentences overturned. Not one of these murderers is arguing their innocence. This group of murderers now taking advantage of Jimmy’s generosity includes people convicted of multiple murders like Henry Wallace, convicted of killing nine young women, most of them raped and strangled. The taxpayers are paying for most of these appeals to have death sentences overturned. ■ Voted to let rapists and murderers out on the streets earlier to conserve prison space. Sheriff Carter, doesn’t that make your job harder? ■ Voted to give the multibillion dollar Hollywood movie giants millions in scarce tax dollars at the expense of teachers and other state employees. There is no doubt that prescription drug abuse is a big problem in Lee County. However, the legislation proposed by you and Jimmy Love on giving county law enforcement access to individuals’ private medical records is a losing one. The pharmacists all have access to prescription data when they fill a prescription. They should be the ones to alert law enforcement on suspicious activity, and they should also have the ability to refuse to fill a prescription when they suspect abuse. While I don’t often agree with the ACLU, I predict they will be all over the defeat of this legislation if it ever gets introduced in the legislature. BRUCE COOK Sanford

Etheridge locked in fight with tea party’s Ellmers
FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — This week, a woman stood beside a Bob Etheridge sign on U.S. 421 in Harnett County and held up a handmade sign that said, “Vote him out.” Etheridge hasn’t come
close to losing his 2nd District seat in the U.S. House since he first won it in 1996, but a challenger riding the wave of vocal tea party discontent has dragged him into a tough re-election scrap.
Renee Ellmers, a nurse from Dunn, won the Republican nomination as a political newcomer and unknown, having decided to run after getting involved with tea party protests in 2009. Since the primary, she
has attracted nationwide attention for a controversial campaign ad condemning the proposed Islamic center near New York City’s ground zero. Etheridge’s image took a black eye when video of

his confrontation with two young men on a Washington street went viral. As anti-incumbent rhetoric continued to intensify nationwide, the Cook Political Report — a nonpartisan newsletter closely followed in Washington — changed the 2nd District from “likely Democrat” to the more uncertain “leaning Democrat” earlier this month in its trademark Partisan Voting Index. In May, the district — which spans 10 counties including all of Harnett and parts of Cumberland, Sampson and Lee — was listed as “solidly Democrat.” Despite the predictions of doom for Democrats in the election, Lillington native Etheridge has been unafraid to run on his record, touting his support for education and votes in favor of the much-maligned stimulus measures. “Two years ago, credit was frozen, banks weren’t lending to banks, and we got that squared away,” said Etheridge, 69. “I don’t think people are going to forget that.”
AD CRITICISM Ellmers has taken heat for the ad opposing the Islamic center. Critics said it was divisive, misleading and had nothing to do with the 2nd District. Ellmers stands by it. “I would like to see us call things as they are,” she said. “I’m not anti-Muslim or any other group, I’m just very pro-American.” Ellmers has blasted Etheridge for an ad his campaign aired that attacked a proposal she supports for a 23 percent flat sales tax. The ad didn’t mention that it would replace other taxes. But Etheridge, too, stands by his ad. He points out studies that debunked the proposal’s cost-saving claims. “It would virtually double taxes on most people,” he said.
Several ads run against Etheridge have included footage of him swatting a camera and grabbing one of two men who asked him on a Washington street whether he supported “the Obama agenda.” Etheridge’s detractors reveled in the incident, but Etheridge said he hopes voters have forgiven him. “I apologized for it, I wish it hadn’t happened, but my record has to stand its own,” he said. Andy Taylor, a political science professor in the School of Public and International Affairs at N.C. State University, said the video makes for a great 30-second commercial but is “substantively meaningless.”
WAR CHESTS Despite its rural and conservative nature, the 2nd District is drawn to favor Democrats. “Just the fact that we’re talking about this indicates that this is a good year for Republicans,” Taylor said. As the Nov. 2 election nears, the amount of money candidates have left to spend has been a fairly reliable predictor of their chances. Third-quarter reports filed Friday showed Ellmers has $99,461 on hand, while the Etheridge campaign has $448,788 to spend. “That’s going to hurt her,” Taylor said. “It’s going to be difficult for her to sustain her momentum.” But Taylor pointed out that since the Supreme Court struck down limits on corporate spending in elections in January, it’s impossible to know how much supporters could be spending on Ellmers’ behalf beyond her official campaign. For her part, Ellmers said it’s significant that in the third quarter, she raised more than twice as much as Etheridge in donations from individuals, $260,873 compared with $109,838.

Q
: How is Communities In Schools of Lee County participating in this year’s Make A Difference Day?
Take 5 Continued from Page 1A
Q
: What is Make A Difference Day?
For 20 years, USA Weekend and HandsOn Network, a business unit of Points of Light Institute, have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the nation’s largest national day of community service. Held annually on the fourth Saturday in October, Make A Difference Day is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Millions of Americans unite in a common mission to improve the lives of others on Make A Difference Day. But even in these challenging times, volunteering is up, corporations are embracing social responsibility and individuals are finding creative ways to help their neighbors.
Today, Lee County Schools and Communities In Schools of Lee County will team up to make a difference for Lee County elementary school students that participate in the BackPack Pals Program. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. you can drop off individually wrapped, non-perishable food items to be distributed weekly for children in our community who would otherwise go without food on the weekends. The Piggly Wiggly store on Horner Boulevard is the drop-off location for the day. Volunteers will be on hand to give out suggested food item lists. You can also get the food list from our website www. cisleecounty.org or inside Piggly Wiggly next week. BackPack Pals is a program by Communities In Schools of Lee County that started in September 2008.
Through the generous support of the community BackPack Pals continues to be able to serve more students each year. BackPack Pals sends home needed nutrition on the weekend for approximately 300 Lee County elementary school students.
Q
: Why is BackPack Pals so important to our elementary schools? At CIS we believe that every child needs and deserves the opportunity to succeed in school. There is absolutely no way a child can concentrate on school work with a tummy that is growling, or if you know that Friday’s lunch might be it until Monday’s breakfast at school. Teachers have told us how their kids look forward to receiving their backpack and how much these children depend on the backpacks of food for the weekend. We believe that we are just “leveling� the playing ground for these kids by providing a little bit of
needed nutrition on the weekend. We don’t just supply cereal, raviolis and juice (and yes, Little Debbies as well – who doesn’t deserve a Little Debbie snack each week?) – we give these kids the knowledge that somebody is looking out for them; that somebody cares. My hope is that these 300 children pay it forward one day, and I think they will.
started this program was for it to be sustainable before we made any future plans. I do see us growing into the middle schools at some point; we know the need is there as well. Right now it’s a logistical issue with space – you fit a month’s worth of food for 300 children, volunteers, and 300 backpacks into any room and it’s a tight fit!
Q
Q
: How has BackPack Pals expanded, and what plans are there for expansion? We started BackPack Pals in September 2008 with 42 students, a lot of hope and a little bit of money. This program is truly an extension of the big hearts of our community here in Lee County. The community, through its generosity of monetary and food donations, has made a big difference in the lives of these children that receive a backpack full of food each weekend. Our first goal when we

: What’s new at CIS?
We have lots of great things happening at CIS! We had a very successful school supply drive in August for “Stuff the Bus� collecting over hundreds of items for Lee County teachers. Businesses have been busy donating office supplies for the Teacher Resource Room. CIS was awarded a grant for J. Glenn Edwards to have a school garden that will go in after the holidays. We also just gave two IBM Young Explorer computer stations to Warren Williams Children’s

Center and Floyd Knight Children’s Center, not to mention expanding some of our current programs like Book Buddies and e-Mentoring. CIS also has Kids Voting that is going on right now until Election Day where any Lee County student can vote in the current election online (the link can be found on our website). This gets parents and children involved in learning about the importance of voting and civic responsibility. We are currently looking for reading volunteers for Broadway Elementary school, local businesses that would be able to communicate with students once a week through email, and supplies for the Teacher Resource Room. For more information about ways you can help or about our programs please contact CIS at (919) 718-5426 or email cisleedirector@windstream.net.

In addition, it was an opportunity to do something that would benefit the community.

HOME COOKIN’
Duke travels to No. 23 Virginia Tech today By HANK KURZ Jr. AP Sports Writer BLACKSBURG, Va. — The signs that No. 23 Virginia Tech is on a roll sometimes comes alongside clear indications that the Hokies still have plenty of improvements to make. While the offense has rarely been better than in the 49point first half against Wake Forest last week, the defense allowed scoring plays of 33, 87 and 78 yards, and saw redshirt freshman tailback Josh Harris burn it for 241 yards rushing, a record for a Hokies opponent. For a team aiming for an Atlantic Coast Conference championship, lapses like that can be costly, and the Hokies (5-2, 3-0) hope to make progress on both fronts Saturday when they play Duke (1-5, 0-3) in the first of five straight Coastal Division matchups. “I’m really not sure what’s going on,” safety Eddie Whitley said of the tendency of the defense to allow big plays. “I’ve been telling the (defensive backs) we need to come out every series, every play the same way, just try to stop them every time. It’s not a good feeling to have somebody come in and score in

Cavaliers hang 50 on Union Pines for Senior Night By JONATHAN OWENS owens@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — It was a fitting end to home play for a senior class who has been through so much in their four years at Southern Lee. After four coaches in four years and a 25-game losing streak, the senior class went out in style Friday night in their last game at Cavalier Stadium, defeating Union Pines 50-36 for their second win of
50 the season. Junior Ace Chalmers finally had the breaout game of his career, posting 231 yards on 19 carries and three touchdowns on the ground. He also caught a touchdown as part of his six receptions for 61 yards, and
36 intercepted a pass on defense. Southern Lee tallied 410 yards on the ground on the night — not bad for a team that has looked to the pass first for most of the season. Cavs’ senior quarterback Ashton Gaines put up 88 yards on
eight carries, and Quentin Ingram had 40 yards and a score on six carries. Gaines also had a 10-for-19 passing performance for 175 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. In addition to Chalmers’ receptions, Robert Richard also caught two passes for 49 yards, including a touchdown. For the Vikings, A.J. Ritter

Yellow Jackets drop defensive struggle By RYAN SARDA
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Denny Hamlin figured that to give himself the best chance to succeed at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday, he had to start making it happen Friday. Using practice to work only on his qualifying setup for what he said was the first time in his career, Hamlin accomplished what he called “objective No. 1” by winning the pole position for Sunday’s 500-lap NASCAR Sprint Cup race on its shortest, trickiest circuit. “This is the first time for us doing that and obviously we executed it,” he said. The reason for the attention to qualifying was twofold: the pole-sitter gets the best pit stall on the track’s narrow pit road, right at the front with nothing to obstruct his exit, and Hamlin wants to gain ground on points leader Jimmie Johnson this weekend. Johnson holds a 41-point edge over Hamlin with five races left, and the two have combined to win the last eight races on the 0.526-mile oval. Hamlin has won three, including the series’ visit in the spring when he plowed to the front from ninth in the final four laps. Johnson qualified 19th, and Kevin Harvick, who is third in points, was 36th. Hamlin’s speed of 97.018 mph barely edged Marcos Ambrose, who qualified at 97.003.

SANFORD — One score was all that was needed. Unfortunately for the Lee County Yellow Jackets, they weren’t the ones that got it. In a tough defensive battle, the Cary Imps held on to shut out the Yellow Jackets 7-0 on Friday night at Paul Gay Stadium. After three scoreless quarters, Cary’s DeAndre Henry carried the ball in from 18-yards out to score the game’s only touchdown with 9:26 remaining in the fourth quarter. The touchdown gave Cary its sixth straight victory over Lee County, a streak that dates back to 2004. The Imps defense held the Yellow Jackets in check for
0 7 much of the game, holding them to just 74 yards of offense. “We knew they had a good defense,” said Lee County head coach Burton Cates. “Their defense played a great game against us and kept us out of sync for much of the game.”

Miami still trying to solve the curse of Butch Davis By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer
MIAMI — The way North Carolina coach Butch Davis was throwing around hyperbole this week, one would wonder if the Tar Heels had any chance to beat No. 25 Miami. He raved about the Hurricanes’ receivers, then their quarterback, running backs, defensive line, secondary, returners, speed, even their schedule. In short, Davis was delivering the same ominous message as he has just about every time he’s had to face Miami. By the way, since taking over in Chapel Hill, Davis is 3-0 against the
Hurricanes. “They’ve got our number now,” Miami coach Randy Shannon said, “and we’ve got to find a way to change it.” That chance comes Saturday night, and if Davis is trying to lull Miami into a false sense of security, it likely won’t work — not with what’s at stake this week. The Hurricanes (4-2, 2-1) and Tar Heels (4-2, 2-1) are basically playing an ACC elimination game. The winner won’t be in the driver’s seat in the Coastal Division, but the loser will see its league title

Special to The Herald BUIES CREEK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Campbell gets back into action this weekend with a road contest against Dayton Gametime is set for 1 p.m. Saturday in Dayton, Ohio. The Camels are 2-0 in road games this season with wins over UVA Wise and Butler. The Camels have never beaten the Flyers in two previous meetings, and lost to Dayton 35-17 last season. Campbell (2-4, 1-2 Pioneer Football League) lost another close game on Oct. 16 by a 14-12 score to Drake. The Camels made it exciting at the end of game with redshirt senior quarterback Daniel Polk leading the offense down the field in the final four minutes to attempt to tie the eight-point margin the
team was facing, 14-6. The Camels sport the top rushing offense in the conference (183.17) and will be tested against the top ranked rushing defense in the PFL this week (84.59). Junior Rashaun Brown leads the team with 431 yards rushing and is averaging 71.83 yards a game (2nd in the PFL). The Camels posses three of the top eight rushers in the league as Polk is fifth (44) and redshirt junior Carl Smith is eighth (37.33). The CU offensive line, who have allowed the least amount of sacks in the conference, are going against a team in Dayton that leads the conference in sacks with 22. Dayton (6-1, 4-0 PFL) has won five in row and have yet to lose at home this season with a 4-0 record. The Flyers defeated

Butler 33-13 on Oct. 16 in Indianapolis. Redshirt senior quarterback Steve Valentino led the team to victory with 74 yards rushing, 208 passing yards and two touchdowns. Hybrid linebacker/ safety James Vercammen picked up 12 tackles and two sacks in the Dayton win. Valentino is one of the more dangerous offensive players in the PFL. He has ran for 413 yards, passed for 1,346 yards and scored 14 touchdowns this season (10 pass, 3 rush, 1 receiving). Redshirt senior receiver Justin Wilkins leads the team with 31 catches and 470 yards. Vercammen leads the defense with 57 tackles and 10.5 stops for loss. Senior defensive lineman Devon Langhorst has a team-high and ranks tied for second in the conference with seven sacks. Redshirt senior defensive tackle Mike Morante has totaled 4.5 sacks this season. The Flyers also are dangerous in the special team as Tyler Hujik leads the league in punt returns (17.1) and Gary Hunter is the top kick returner in the conference (29.75).
Last week, Polk completed five passes to five different receivers to get the team to the Drake 10 with less than a minute remaining in the game. Polk then called his own number for a rushing touchdown, his leagueleading eighth of the season, to get the Camels to within two with just 17 seconds left. Needing a two-point conversion to tie the game, Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion pass attempt fell just out of the reach of redshirt senior tight end Mike Stryffeler in the back of the end zone, to allow Drake to escape with the victory. Polk completed a career-high 18 passes in the loss. Stryffeler was beneficiary of six of those passes, tying him for the third most recorded in a single game by a Campbell receiver and a career-high for the tight end. Redshirt junior Adam Willets made a pair of field goals in the CU defeat. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program returns home for Homecoming next week. The Camels are slated to take Marist at 1 p.m. at Barker-Lane Stadium/Ed Gore Field on Oct. 30.

Sports Jackets Continued from Page 1B
Part of the reason as to why Cary might have been successful in keeping the Yellow Jacketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense in check could have been due to Lee County star wide receiver Dequon Swann going out early in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. Swann did return late in the fourth quarter but his status remains questionable for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Panther Creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so used to having Dequon in there,â&#x20AC;? said Cates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he went out in the first half, I think it really got us off balance because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had him in there for the last year and a half. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we really recovered from that.â&#x20AC;? The loss is the second in a row for the Yellow Jackets, who now fall to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Tri-9 Conference. Cary improves to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the conference. The Imps are in a tie for first in the league with Panther Creek, which lost 42-21 to Middle Creek on Friday night. The Yellow Jackets
The Sanford Herald / Saturday, October 23, 2010 / 3B are still in the hunt for a conference championship but just need some things to go their way in the final two weeks of the season. Cates says that while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to win the conference championship, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more focused on doing well in the playoffs, which is somewhere the Yellow Jackets havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conference championships are nice and all, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nothing compared to the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? said Cates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get to at least seven wins. We feel like that will allow us to host some games in the first couple of rounds of the playoffs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to win the conference championship, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more worried about getting a good spot in the playoffs.â&#x20AC;? Lee County quarterback Carson Wilson was 11-of-27 for 88 yards and an interception, his first since Sept. 10 at Apex. Daniel Dillon led the Yellow Jackets receiving game with one catch for 36 yards. While it was tough to lose in such a close game on homecoming, Cates said that he was pleased with the effort the Yellow Jackets
showed on the gridiron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want this program to take the next step,â&#x20AC;? said Cates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so close to getting there. I was really pleased with the effort and heart we showed out there. I just wish we could have put some points on the board.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets will have an opportunity to get back into the conference championship hunt with a victory at Panther Creek next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to come back out and play football,â&#x20AC;? said Cates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the toughest part of our schedule and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make that next step with our program. This game shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone to overtime, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to move on and get ready for Panther Creek.â&#x20AC;?

Oswalt the starter gets another chance PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roy Oswalt is right at home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pitching as a starter in a ballpark where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never lost. Back in a familiar role after an unsuccessful guest appearance as a reliever, Oswalt gets the ball for Game 6 on Saturday when the Phillies try to even the NL championship series against San Francisco. Oswalt dominated the Giants in Game 2, but took the loss when he came out of the bullpen and allowed Juan Uribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-ending sacrifice fly in the ninth inning in Game 4. Roy Halladay helped the Phillies avoid elimination with a gutsy effort pitching through a
1CJRÂą7JPMÂą 1PKKJMOÂą
groin pull Thursday night, sending the series back to Philadelphia with the Giants ahead 3-2. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oswaltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-0 lifetime at Citizens Bank Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never are guaranteed anything,â&#x20AC;? Oswalt said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how good a team you have, you may not never get back in this situation. So when you are here, you try to do everything possible when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here.â&#x20AC;? For Oswalt, that means pitching whenever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed, including in relief on two daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rest. The three-time All-Star righty entered in the ninth with the score
tied at 5 on Wednesday night. He allowed a pair of singles before Uribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-out fly to left ended it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Numbers, to me, are no big deal,â&#x20AC;? Oswalt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get the loss for sure. But you never know when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get back here. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons I wanted to be in the game the other night. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much longer Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to play. But I may not get to this spot again. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try to do everything possible to get to that final game.â&#x20AC;? Jonathan Sanchez, the Game 2 loser, takes the mound for San Francisco.

your end zone and you see them celebrating.â&#x20AC;? Luckily for the Hokies, the offense has been doing that far more regularly. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve averaged 46 points in their past three games, and are averaging 36 overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surge that has righted things after two losses to start the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what we planned on doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; winning games,â&#x20AC;?

hopes take a colossal hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will probably be the biggest challenge that our football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had this season,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. On the field, maybe. In actuality, not even close. North Carolina has had 16 players sanctioned during an NCAA investigation originally focused on agent-related benefits, then expanded to include possible academic violations. Cornerback Charles Brown learned this week that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been barred for the season, the sixth Tar Heel to meet that fate. And cornerback Kendric Burney â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who had three interceptions against Miami last season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; originally was to sit six games, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play Saturday because of unresolved issues. Shannon and Davis are good friends, a bond that began when Davis was coaching at Miami, a place he still holds in high regard. So when the investigation fallout began,
The Sanford Herald / Saturday, October 23, 2010 / 5B losses were heartbreakers, last-minute type deals. ... This is what we knew we were capable of, and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing.â&#x20AC;? And setting up nicely for the season-ending gauntlet ahead. After the Blue Devils, the Hokies play Georgia Tech, at North Carolina and at No. 25 Miami before closing out the year with their tradition curtain closer against Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily, right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a roll,â&#x20AC;? wide receiver Dyrell Roberts said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and hopefully we can keep putting the work in and stay on this roll and finish out the season strong.â&#x20AC;?
The Blue Devils have lost five straight since beating Elon of the FCS to open the season, but coach David Cutcliffe said his team feels close to turning the proverbial corner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spirited. They refuse to hang their heads,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so close in so many areas, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made more than enough mistakes to last an entire season. We all know that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resulted in the record we have.â&#x20AC;? Last week alone, Duke turned it over seven times against Miami, but lost just 28-13.
In redshirt sophomore quarterback Sean Renfree, the Hokies see a player who has thrown 10 of his 14 interceptions in the past three games, but has also shown he can inflict damage. Three times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrown for 350 or more yards, and he has 10 touchdown passes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he just likes to let his guys try to make plays,â&#x20AC;? cornerback Rashad Carmichael said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing against a guy like that, it can be dangerous because his attitude is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to lose. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to win this big game.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Shannon sent Davis an e-mail with a few words of support. This week, the Hurricanes will try not to give Davis any help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely means a lot to him because he used to coach there,â&#x20AC;? said North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates, who will try to lead to lead the Tar Heels to their first five-game winning streak since 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that energy kind of flows through the team because everybody knows coach Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation.â&#x20AC;? To say the last three Carolina-Miami games have been odd wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an overstatement. In 2007, North Carolina took a 27-0 lead after 20 minutes, then held on for a 33-27 win. In 2008, Cameron Sexton threw two touchdown passes in the final minutes, the last with 46 seconds left, as the Tar Heels erased a 14-point deficit and won 28-24 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a game where Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robert Marve threw an interception in the end zone on the final play. And last year, Burneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
77-yard interception return for a score late in the half proved crucial as the Tar Heels prevailed 33-24. The difference in the series of late? Turnovers. Miami had 10, North Carolina just one in those three games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been rough, I know,â&#x20AC;? Miami left tackle Orlando Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want this game bad. My last year, lost to them last three times in a row. It always seems like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a pretty close game, but somehow in the fourth quarter they seem to pull away from us. Definitely want to win this game real bad and take care of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take care of.â&#x20AC;? Health-wise, North Carolina took another shot this week. Tight end Zack Pianalto, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading receiver, will miss the remainder of the season with a broken right leg. And that could lead to bigger concerns for the Tar Heels: They have the most efficient passing game in the ACC, but
will be without their most dependable receiver for a game against a Miami defense ranked fourth nationally against the pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try to find a way to manufacture catches and yards from somebody else,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. This is Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first home game since the 4517 beating against Florida State two weeks ago, and although the Hurricanes insist theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward instead of lamenting over that missed opportunity, they know that loss took away all their margin for error. If the ACC title trophy is finally going to find its way to Coral Gables this season, a way must finally be found to beat Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at this as a game-by-game challenge,â&#x20AC;? Shannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina is a big challenge and step for us. We figure if we can take care of the things we have to get done this weekend, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to the next opponent.â&#x20AC;?

UNC documents list 3 providing benefits to players By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer
RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina has told the NCAA that three people acted as â&#x20AC;&#x153;prospective agentsâ&#x20AC;? by providing benefits to players in connection with the ongoing investigation into the program, including one who works for NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus. The school named Rosenhaus employee Michael Katz in documents sent to the NCAA to report violations as part of the process to reinstate players suspended or held out of games due to the probe. Katz is listed on the Rosenhaus Sports Representation Web site as the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of marketing and client services. Reached by phone Friday night, Rosenhaus denied the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My comment is that report is false,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did talk to my employee and at no time did he provide any benefits of any kind to any college players whatsoever.â&#x20AC;? The documents, released Friday after public records requests made by media outlets, redacted the names of players and details in each case. But they said Katz provided a player with a wristband that gained entrance to a pool party, while a second player received a wristband from a teammate that was originally
provided by Katz. Others named: Former UNC and Marshall player Chris Hawkins, who is also connected to the suspension of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.J. Green; and Todd Stewart of Washington, D.C. The documents said that Stewart booked and paid for hotel rooms for an unspecified player, saying he qualified as an agent through â&#x20AC;&#x153;self-identified ties with a financial advising firm.â&#x20AC;? In a recent interview with ESPN, Stewart said he was close with several college and NFL players, but said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid by an agent. Hawkins was mentioned for providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimalâ&#x20AC;? benefits while identifying himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;financial advisor.â&#x20AC;? Hawkins was previously connected to trips to Atlanta and Las Vegas made by cornerback Kendric Burney, who recently completed an NCAA-issued six-game suspension for improper benefits yet remains out due to an unresolved issue. Hawkins also paid $1,000 for the jersey of Green, a transaction that resulted in Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourgame suspension because the NCAA said Hawkins qualified as an agent. Hawkins had been around the North Carolina program in recent years and is a friend of former Tar Heels and NFL running back Willie Parker.

BRIDGE HAND
Single mom wonders when to introduce son to suitors DEAR ABBY: I’m a single mom to my 10-year-old son. I have dated on and off for six years. My question is, how soon is too soon to introduce male friends who may become boyfriends? I don’t want to scare a guy away, and I also don’t want to risk having my son become attached to someone who may not be in the picture long. — YOUNG IDAHO MOM
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: You have to be a doer this year. Strong-willed, aggressive and proactive should be your strategy. Don’t settle for anything less than what you want. You can show everyone how much you have to offer. It’s your time to prove how valuable you are. Your numbers are 4, 8, 11, 26, 35, 39, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t stop believing in yourself. Discipline and hard work will get whatever chore you face done and out of the way. Don’t be afraid to show your serious side and to bring partnership problems to the attention of the person confusing you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Making an assumption will probably lead to trouble. You will be highly emotional and not likely to see clearly what’s going on around you. Get things out in the open but do more listening and less talking. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What you do for others will benefit you in the end. Love is on the rise but you must not get involved with someone who is already attached. Secrets will cause problems for you professionally and personally. CANCER (June 21July 22): Get out with friends or plan a party or get-together with friends and family. Your generosity and kindness will be appreciated and reciprocated. Children are in the picture and will play a role in a decision you make regarding your future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t take what someone says to heart. In the heat of the moment, emotions can take you in two different directions. Choose to be passionate and loving, not critical and cold, and you will overcome whatever obstacle you face. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting out or away from home will be enticing. Make plans to
WORD JUMBLE
visit a friend or travel. Communication and learning something new should be your goal. A change in attitude will help you relate better to someone you are close to. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take everything in stride. There is no point in getting upset over past regrets. Listen to what’s being said or offered but don’t believe everything you are told. Empty promises are likely. Nothing is as bad as you think. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Socializing will bring about some interesting conversations and ideas that you can put into motion. Romance is highlighted, so plan evening events. If you want something to happen, you have to do your best to make it so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put a little effort into your home, family and surroundings before someone accuses you of being neglectful. A surprise may be made with good intentions but not everyone will be as excited about it as you. Protect your reputation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You are wellpositioned and should be able to make a move that will enhance your life and your future. Your professional and personal status will get a boost if you network. Mixing business with pleasure will pay off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Don’t make promises if you cannot deliver. A problem will develop in conversations you have. Be prepared to make some necessary changes. Adaptability will be the key to stabilization and greater security. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stop worrying so much and start doing what counts. It’s not what everyone else wants, it’s about what you are comfortable doing. Contracts, legal matters, settlements and financial gains are all highlighted. Put everything you’ve got into achieving your goals.
DEAR YOUNG MOM: Does your son know you’re dating? Do the men you’re seeing know you have a child? Any man who would be scared off after learning you have a son isn’t for you anyway. Ten-year-olds today are not as sheltered as they once were. If you are seeing someone regularly, your boy may be curious to meet him. Some women wait until a man is ready to commit before making an introduction. Others wait six months to a year. There are no hard and fast rules. Play it by ear. o DEAR ABBY: I’m a sophomore in high school, and I really like this girl, but there’s a problem. I never know what to say to her — or any girl, for that matter. The right words never come to mind. All my guy friends are what I guess you would call “ladies’ men,” and I’m

tired of everyone else making fun of me. I have liked this girl for a long time but she’s — how do you say it — “out of my league.” I have seen her turn down guys just like me. What should I do? — SHY GUY IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR SHY: Start talking to girls in general. Ask questions about school, athletic events, movies or television shows they may have seen. The more you do it, the more comfortable you will become. You don’t need to put yourself on the line by immediately asking anyone out. Just try to get to know them and their interests — and let them get to know you. If you do, your chances of a girl saying yes when you ask one out will be better. o
DEAR ABBY: I have been having an affair for several years. I deeply love this man. I love my husband, too, but in a different way. I don’t understand how I can love two men so differently. The love I feel for my lover is unconditional. When we are together it just feels right. I love my husband because he’s a good man and father who would do anything for me. In other words, I love the person he is, but not the man himself. My lover is younger than I am, and married. He’s my best friend and I can confide anything to him. I have met some of his family, and I suspect some of them know about us. My husband and I tried marriage counseling, but I can’t seem to have with him what I have with my lover. I broke off the affair in an attempt to work things out with my husband, but it didn’t work. I don’t know what else to do. — TORN IN FREEHOLD, N.J. DEAR TORN: Because ending your affair and marriage counseling with your husband weren’t able to fix what’s missing in your marriage, perhaps it’s time to call it quits. Your husband has done nothing wrong, and frankly, he deserves something better than half a wife.

Car slips out of gear and plunges into NH river
Inmate locks guards in cell during jail search
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Don’t you hate it when something’s not where you left it? Sarah Cullen knows the feeling. Cullen, of Portsmouth, N.H., was in the post office there Thursday when her unoccupied car rolled from its parking spot, crashed through a metal fence and fell off a pier into the Piscataqua River. The 2005 Honda CRV, which has a standard transmission, apparently slipped out of gear while she was away, landing on its side and partially submerged in the river. Within about an hour, a tow truck hoisted the car out of the river and lowered it onto the street. Cullen told the Portsmouth Herald she was glad it wasn’t high tide when her car took the plunge.
PARAGOULD, Ark. (AP) — An inmate locked three guards and a sheriff’s deputy in a cell at the Greene County Jail while the officers were conducting a search for contraband. Sheriff Dan Langston chalked it up to a lack of training. The Paragould Daily Press reported that the incident happened on Oct. 10, when inmate Jacob Rodden ran out of the cell, shut the door and inserted the security pin, confining the officers inside with some of the inmates they were searching. Rodden, who then locked himself in a visitation booth, was placed in indefinite lockdown. The four officers were rescued by a jail matron, without incident. Langston said the jail is outdated and has tremendous employee turnover. The sheriff says the officers won’t be disciplined.
Man nabbed after pot text to Texas police officer EARLY, Texas (AP) — A message between old friends who hadn’t been in touch for a while led to a drug arrest after the recipient of the “So do you smoke weed?” text turned out to be a police officer. Amanda Williams is a reserve officer with the Early Police Department. The Brownwood Bulletin reported Friday that Williams said she received the text message Tuesday asking about getting together to smoke some marijuana that the man had. Early said she had not spoken to the man in some time and he did not know that she’s a law officer. Williams let police know that she agreed to meet the man at a park. Early police and Texas troopers were on hand to detain the San Angelo man, who faces a marijuana possession charge.

Couple sue after Mega Death sauce hospitalizes son CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Some don’t like it hot. A Steak ‘n Shake restaurant in Cleveland, Tenn., was sued by a couple who claimed it served a hot sauce that sent their son to the hospital. Tim and Mary Katherine Gann said a restaurant server gave their minor child a bottle of Blair’s Mega Death Sauce for his chili and encouraged him to eat some. When he did, he broke out in hives, had trouble breathing and suffered severe pain. The brand isn’t customarily served by the chain, according to the Cleveland Daily Banner. Mega Death’s maker warns that it’s “500 times hotter than a jalapeno.” A spokeswoman for franchise owner Debbie Richmond said Thursday the company wasn’t commenting. See answer, page 2A

Loved ones will reunite in heaven Q: Will we be reunited with our loved ones who’ve gone to heaven before us? I’d like to think so, because I lost my wife last year and miss her very much. But I can’t find anything in the Bible that says we will. — C.M. A: Heaven is the place of perfect happiness — and one of its greatest joys will be our reunion with those who have gone there before us. God loves us, and He won’t withhold that joy from us! How do we know this? We know it first of all from the Bible’s explicit teaching. When King David’s infant son was taken from him, David felt his loss very keenly — but he also knew he would see him again. David declared, “Can I bring him back again? I will go to him” (2 Samuel 12:23). When Jesus was transfigured (or changed) before the eyes of some of His disciples and they glimpsed His heavenly glory, we’re told that Moses and Elijah appeared with Him — proof that we retain our individuality in heaven (see Luke 9:28-36). We know it too because the Bible tells us we will be together in heaven. In other words, we won’t be separated from each other, nor will we be absorbed into some kind of faceless mob. At the end of time, “we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together.... And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). The most important fact about heaven, however, is that we will be safely in God’s presence forever. Think of it — no more fear, or sorrow, or pain! Is heaven your destination? Don’t gamble with your soul, but make sure of your eternal salvation by giving your life to Christ today.

Adults also need immunizations From Central Carolina Hospital
W
ith flu season right around the corner, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hearing lots about flu shots. But there are several other vaccines to be aware of. If you thought immunizations were just for children, think again. Adults also may need several different vaccinations as they get older, including influenza, pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, meningitis, chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, human papillomavirus, hepatitis A and B, and herpes zoster (shingles). Dr. Erastus Smith, a Sanfordbased internal medicine specialist on staff at Central Carolina Hospital, said people often underestimate the value of getting vaccines like flu shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have gotten accustomed Smith to the wizardry of modern medicine, and although influenza does bring about some fear, some people will not get vaccinated. Part of the reason is that they feel we can take care of it with all the technology and medicines we have,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can do a lot, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re behind the eight-ball coming at it from that direction. People have much better outcomes if they get vaccinated and ramp up their own immune system. It will prepare them to deal with exposure, and that immune system will do a lot better than we can with all our gadgets.â&#x20AC;? Immunizations expose you to a very small, very

safe amount of infection to help trigger your immune system to recognize and prevent certain diseases. If you are vaccinated against a disease and then exposed to it later, you will either not contract the infection or experience a much milder case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is a fear that when a vaccine is administered, that there are going to be side-effects from the vaccine related to the presence of the virus particles that will result in dire consequences. Earlier in our vaccination program, that may have been a small issue. But now what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using is a dead virus or a split virus, and the potential of getting a live viral particle resulting in multiplication and disease is just about nil,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make that fear go away completely, but the reality is we are not really concerned about that in the medical community because of the way that vaccines are made now.â&#x20AC;? People over the age of 50, as well as those with a chronic illness, such as diabetes, heart disease or asthma, should have the flu vaccine. This vaccination also may be recommended if you have a weakened immune system, work in a health care setting, or live in a long-term care facility. Flu vaccinations are given once a year, usually in October or November. If you are over 65 or have had your spleen removed your doctor may recommend that you have a pneumonia vaccine to protect you against infections of the lungs, blood and brain. This vaccine also may be appropriate if you have a chronic illness, weakened immune system, or live in a nursing home and have not previously received this vaccine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Older adults do need to be concerned about
getting the pneumococcoal virus. This is frequently a cause of pneumonia, and because of diabetes and lung disease and heart disease, those things can be a player in the frequency of pneumonia,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Smith said a diptheria vaccination is one to consider for adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get vaccinated against diptheria as children, but the immunity has a tendency to wane after ten years or more, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer resistant. It is an issue that needs to be addressed with a primary physician and dealt with,â&#x20AC;? he said. The tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for adults 19 to 64 years of age if it has been more than 10 years since their last tetanus vaccine. Pregnant women who have not already received Tdap also should have the vaccine after delivery if it has been more than two years since their last tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis shot. Tdap protects against lockjaw, whooping cough and pertussis, which is a severe infection of the nose, throat or airway. Smith said the most important thing is finding a physician you trust and making sure you have discussions with him or her about vaccines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some understandable fear. People need to find a physician they trust and they feel like they can work with, because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be fearful,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can work from a point of knowledge and feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really being taken care of.â&#x20AC;? If you need a physician, please call Central Carolina Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary care network at 877-892-2660 for a same-day or next-day appointment.
Managing your meds From Central Carolina Hospital
H
ow many times have you forgotten to take a dose of a prescription medication? Have you ever been given antibiotics that you stopped taking halfway through because you felt better? Or what about that medication your doctor prescribed that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill because you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it? If any of these scenarios sound familiar, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many patients miss doses or forget to take pills altogether, â&#x20AC;&#x153;says Jan Stewart, RPh, director of phar-
macy at Central Carolina Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their prescriptions filled at all, and others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember if they take their prescription with food or on an empty stomach.â&#x20AC;? There are reasons you should take your medication as Stewart instructed. Here, we answer some common questions about prescription medica-
tions. How important is it to take medications exactly as prescribed? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all depends on the medication you were given,â&#x20AC;? Stewart says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prescribed an antibiotic to kill bacteria and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish your prescription, you may have only killed off the weaker bacteria. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left behind may come back even stronger.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a medication regularly for a chronic illness, such

Flavor your meals without the salt From Central Carolina Hospital
W
e hear a lot about the dangers of too much fat or sugar, but we sometimes neglect the hazards of excessive salt, or sodium. Sodium is a necessary mineral to build muscles and nerves and to absorb nutrients. However, too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure, or hypertension. “Many foods naturally contain sodium — for example, meats, vegetables and dairy products,” says Holly White, Registered Dietitian at Central Carolina Hospital. “Prepared and processed foods have added sodium as a preservative, so reading labels is important if you don’t prepare your meal yourself.” White continues, “If you look at labels, you will see many different terms describing the sodium content in prepared food: sodium-free, low-sodium, reduced sodium or unsalted foods. But the food industry has very specific definitions for these claims. To be considered Sodium-free or Salt-free, the item needs to have less than 5 mg sodium per serving; to be very low sodium, that’s 35 mg or less per serving, and to be low sodium, it needs to have 140 mg or less per serving.” She warns that foods labeled claiming to be reduced sodium or unsalted may very well surpass 140 mg, so you should read the labels for hidden sodium before adding them to your meal plan. You can spice up your food while reducing your sodium intake. There are many ways besides salt to make a meal tastier. White recommends that you don’t limit yourself to just one spice — explore a wonderful new world of gastronomic pleasures by combining some low sodium combinations, such as fruity and hot, sweet and sour, tart and spicy.
“
Challenge yourself to go beyond the typical because not every citrus is created equal. Switch it up by using fresh lime or orange juice.” — Holly White — Registered Dietitian
One very common suggestion is to replace salt with lemon juice. “Challenge yourself to go beyond the typical because not every citrus is created equal. Switch it up by using fresh lime or orange juice. You may find you like the twang of the Key lime better than the Persian variety or prefer the more fragrant and sweeter Meyer Lemon over the traditional variety,” White says. Try the fresh zest or peel, too. Most people are familiar with popular balsamic salad dressings, but straight balsamic vinegars open up a world of flavors on vegetables, meats, seafood and even fruits. Explore both the dark and white varieties to discover which you prefer to accent your foods. White recommends that when you’re in the grocery store, look at the entire selection of vinegars to see what other flavors intrigue you. Fresh herbs such as basil, dill, thyme, rosemary, tarragon and mint can help take the ho-hum out of meats begging for more flavor. Ginger (grated fresh
or chopped candied) can accentuate a salad dressing, marinade or grilling sauces. For those who are still missing salt, White encourages people to think spicy instead of salty — “Use chipotle flakes, cracked black pepper, grated horseradish, wasabi powder or red pepper flakes for a little kick,” she says. All in all, there are hundreds of combinations where salt can be replaced with healthier options and not even be missed. It may take a little time to adjust when your taste buds have been accustomed to higher levels of sodium, but once you’ve adjusted, you should see a difference. The American Heart Association says it takes about 8-12 weeks for most people to adjust their taste preferences. White concludes, “Some over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs contain sodium, so if you are limiting your sodium intake, ask your pharmacist for more information concerning your medications.” How does sodium affect blood pressure? When you ingest sodium, it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive system. Increased sodium intake increases the blood volume and requires the heart to pump blood harder to all the tissues in the body. Sodium also reduces the amount of blood that goes back into the heart by restricting the blood vessels, or arterioles. Arterioles regulate blood pressure and flow by dilating and constricting, but excessive sodium is believed to decrease blood movement and add pressure to vessel walls, thus increasing the blood pressure. Research suggests that people’s sensitivity to sodium varies by age, genetics, weight and resting heart rate.
Thyroid disorders Y
From Central Carolina Hospital
ou’re fatigued, depressed and sleepy. You’ve gained a little weight, and you suffer from vague aches and pains. You don’t know what’s wrong. The answer could be hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a condition which occurs when production of thyroid hormone is too low. Thyroid hormone affects growth and development, as well as several cellular processes, so inadequate thyroid hormone can have consequences throughout the entire body. Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland, which is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adam’s apple. The gland wraps around the windpipe and has a shape that is similar to a butterfly — formed by two wings and attached by a middle part called the isthmus. The symptoms of the condition can be subtle and they aren’t specific, meaning they can mimic the symptoms of other conditions. Some patients with a mild form of the condition may not even show any symptoms. Other symptoms include dry skin or hair, constipation, muscle cramps, increased cholesterol levels, a decreased ability to concentrate, and even swelling of the legs. Dr. Surinder Dhawan, a Sanfordbased internal medicine doctor on staff at Central Carolin Hospital in Dhawan Sanford, said hypothyroidism can show up quickly, and that the symptoms are often mistaken for other ailments. “It can start very suddenly, even insidiously,” Dhawan said. “People might think they’re overeating or think they’re tired because of overworking. But it could be hypothyroidism, which can produce all those symptoms. If it goes undetected, people will keep on suffering.” Unchecked, the condition can lead to serious heart problems, and even heart failure. But Dhawan said treatment for hypothyroidism is as simple as prescribing a synthetic version of the thyroidal hormones absent in a person with hypothyroidism. While those with the condition will live with it as it isn’t curable, Dhawan said the treatment is easy to deal with. “It’s very treatable, it’s just a daily pill without any side-effects most of the time,” he explained. “There was a time when people would simply die if they had this. Now all they have to do is take one simple pill.” The condition is fairly common, with estimates being that 3 to 5 percent of the population has some form of it. It’s more common in women than in men, and its incidence increases with age. There are several causes for hypothyroidism, ranging from genetic disorders to even the medicines used to treat the opposite condition, known as hyperthyroidism (when there’s too much thyroid hormone). The most common cause in the U.S. is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, named for the doctor who first described it. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a genetic auto-immune disease in which thyroid tissue is attacked by the body’s immune system. Thyroiditis can also be caused by inflammation from white blood cells called lymphocytes. This usually occurs in women following a pregnancy. The condition is temporary in most of the women affected. Treatments for hyperthyroidism (when the gland produces too much thyroid hormone) can also lead to hypothyroidism. These treatments range from radioactive iodine to surgery or even many medications, including methimazole, propylthioracil and lithium. Injuries to the pituitary gland, which releases hormones that regulate thyroid function, can also result in hypothyroidism. These injuries may occur during brain surgery or during a decreased period of blood flow to the area. Dhawan said it’s important if people suspect they have hypothyroidism, that they consult a doctor. “Make sure if you suspect you have (hypothyroidism), to get to the doctor and get checked,” he said. “It’s best to diagnose it early on.” If you need a physician, please call Central Carolina Hospital’s primary care network at 877-892-2660 for a same-day or next-day appointment.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom, my tummy hurtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; From Central Carolina Hospital
W
hen youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a parent, the last thing you want to hear from your child is â&#x20AC;&#x153;My tummy hurts.â&#x20AC;? But stomach pains are common in children. Luckily, there are some simple remedies to the most common causes. Cary Keifer, MD, a Sanford-based pediatrician on staff at Central Carolina Hospital, says the two most common causes of stomach pain in children are constipation and acid indigestion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a child comes in with abdominal pain and is otherwise healthy, Keifer generally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of those two things,â&#x20AC;? said Keifer. When it comes to constipation, Kiefer said there are some general approaches which begin with the goal of
having the child have at least two comfortable bowel movements per day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generally, we start with a very safe laxative â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one we can use in people of all ages,â&#x20AC;? she said. With this laxative therapy, Kiefer said consistency is the key since the medication works to help a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intestines return to a normal, non-stretched state over a long period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to get the nerves in the intestines back to where they can sense that the child has to go to the bathroom,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That takes at least six months, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really skip doses. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had children who were on laxatives for years, because if they stop, the constipation just comes back.â&#x20AC;? Keifer said diet and a behavioral approach are also key to ending constipation in a child. For diet, she recommended a fiber intake of at least 30 grams per day. She noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;white carbsâ&#x20AC;? such as many pastas can contribute to constipation. As far as behavioral treatment, Keifer said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s im-
portant to make sure the child sits on the toilet three times every day, preferably after each meal, for at least five minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents need to help their children take advantage of those after-meal times. Otherwise, the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body could tell it that he or she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So making sure you change their behavior is important as well.â&#x20AC;? Keifer said the other common cause of stomach discomfort in children is acid indigestion. Unlike adults, some children are just more sensitive to the feeling of acid in the stomach, Keifer said. This can be exacerbated by stress as well. Diet isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually as much of an issue as with adults, she said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the diet for a child is usually pretty dissimilar to an adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids tend not to overindulge the way adults do. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re full, they stop,â&#x20AC;? Keifer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adults can get a craving for chili dogs and then eat way too many of them. Kids also tend to like more bland things like milk or chicken nuggets or mashed potatoes. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably not going to see them eating things like red peppers.â&#x20AC;? The good news is that the basic treatment for acid indigestion is the same as it is for adults suffering from acid indigestion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really just recommend over-the-counter antacids like Zantac or something similar,â&#x20AC;? she said. If you need to find a pediatrician or primary care physician, call Central Carolina Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free physician finder line at 800-483-6385.

as hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take them as prescribed and at the same time each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise, the underlying disease may not improve, and it may even progress,â&#x20AC;? explains Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to read the instructions thoroughly and understand how your medication works. If you take a prescription incorrectly, you could increase your chance of having side effects, like with osteoporosis medications. Some osteoporosis prescriptions require you to stand for 30 minutes so that your esophagus wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become inflamed.â&#x20AC;? What if I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescribed? Talk with your physician about your concerns. Your physician may be able to give you some samples to try before adjusting your prescription, or you may be able to use a generic or less expensive medication. Stewart says there are pharmacy assistance programs available for those needing help. One program, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, is available online at pparx.org. What can I do to prevent forgetting a dose? Stewart offers these tips in helping increase medication compliance: n Put your medications in a highly visible area, such as a kitchen table or counter. n Be sure to keep medications out of reach of children and pets. n Set an alarm, cellphone or wrist watch to remind you when to take them. n Place a sticky note on the refrigerator, by the telephone, near the coffee pot or on the bathroom mirror. n Use a pillbox with the days of the week. 49% said they had forgotten to take a prescribed medicine. 31% had not filled a prescription they were given. 29% had stopped taking a medicine before the supply ran out. 24% had taken less than the recommended dosage.

Gloves show support for awareness P
INEHURST — The staff of FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital is wearing pink exam gloves in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness. The Generation Pink Exam Gloves are provided by Medline Industries, which donates a dollar to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) for each case of gloves purchased. “We are helping raise awareness for breast cancer prevention,” said Linda Wallace, vice president for Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at Moore Regional. “The educational outreach on this pressing issue is as important as raising money for the cause.” All three FirstHealth hospitals — Richmond Memorial in Rockingham and Montgomery Memorial in Troy, as well as Moore Regional — are now using the pink gloves. The gloves are also being used by the staffs of the FirstHealth Outpatient Oncology Center and the FirstHealth Specialty Centers in Pinehurst. Medline is the leading provider of exam gloves in the U.S. The new Generation Pink exam glove features a patented third-generation technology, an advanced polymer formulation that offers outstanding sensitivity along with a unique softness and flexibility. Over the past five years, Medline has donated more than $500,000 to the NBCF as part of its campaign to promote awareness and early detection of breast cancer. Raising breast cancer awareness among nurses is a key goal of the current Medline campaign since nurses are not only caregivers but also influencers of women when it comes to early detection. One of the most common types of cancer among women, breast cancer takes the lives of about 40,000 women annually. The disease has many risk factors, including age, genetics, obesity and family history;
Patient care representatives from the three FirstHealth hospitals display the pink gloves that are now being used to promote breast cancer awareness at Moore Regional, Montgomery Memorial and Richmond Memorial hospitals. Pictured (from left) are Ren Agustin, R.N., MRH Dialysis; Wes Merchant, R.N., MRH 3 Medical; Wendy Crawford, R.N., MRH 3 Medical; Misty Pedacchio, P.A., MRH Hospitalist Services; Catherine Locklear, R.N., RMH Infection Control; Lindsay Reynolds, R.N., MRH 3 Medical; Tina Pemberton, surgical tech and Sterile Processing, MMH; and Emily Hamilton, R.N., MRH, 3 Medical. however, women who exercise regularly, maintain healthy diets and have regular visits with their doctors may be less likely to get breast cancer. Early detection can increase the five-year breast cancer survival rate by more than 95 percent, and
mammography is among the best forms of screening. The NBCF funds free mammograms for women who could otherwise not afford them and supports research programs in leading facilities across the country.
FirstHealth Home Care recognized From FirstHealth of the Carolinas

INEHURST — FirstHealth Home Care has been named a national best practice agency by Fazzi Associates, a national benchmarking service. The recognition establishes the organization as a proven leader in patient satisfaction — one of the most important measures of an agency’s quality program. “I couldn’t have asked for a better Home Care team,” says Linda Whitman of Carthage. “They provided medical care and encouragement during a bad time for me. When I was physically down and out, they took wonderful care of me. With their help, I’m getting healthy and more confident.”
Carthage residents James W. and Robbie Taylor feel much the same way. “We’ve used FirstHealth Home Care nursing, physical therapy, TeleHealth and nutritionists several times, and they’ve always been excellent,” says James Taylor. “I knew that when I went home from the hospital, I’d be OK and they’d be there for me.” “Their visits are like a beam of sunshine,” his wife says. “It has been reassuring to have FirstHealth Home Care taking care of my husband with me, and the TeleHealth monitoring is added security and reassurance.” The Patient Satisfaction Award of Distinction goes to home health organizations that demonstrated superior performance in patient satisfaction in the year 2009. The achievement places FirstHealth Home
Care in the top 25 percent of Fazzi’s national patient satisfaction database. FirstHealth offers Home Care services to patients in Moore, Richmond, Lee, Montgomery, Hoke and Scotland counties. “FirstHealth Home Care professionals touch the lives of the people we care for and they, in turn, touch ours,” says Patty Upham, R.N., director of FirstHealth Home Care Services. “Our patients welcome us into their homes as we help them regain their health. I’m very proud of the staff at FirstHealth for receiving the Patient Satisfaction Award. They are special, compassionate and hard-working people, and it’s rewarding

INEHURST — As one of only 18 Joint Commission-certified Stroke Centers in North Carolina, FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital offers a community hospital approach to excellence in stroke care, providing all of the necessary elements of evidence-based medicine including 24/7 neurology, neurosurgery and high-tech diagnostics. “Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the number-one reason for long-term disability in the U.S., so we take pride in providing excellent care and in promoting prevention with education and lifestyle changes,” says Joy Martin, clinical director of the hospital’s Robins/Waldrip/2 Neuro nursing units. Stroke patients typically enter the hospital through Moore Regional’s Emergency Department, where the staff can administer the clot-busting tPA drug in medically appropriate cases. They are then moved to the 20-bed Medical/Neuro Intensive Care Unit and then to a dedicated 27-bed neurology floor.
Rehabilitative services From acute care, patients can progress to the hospital’s 25-bed Inpatient Rehabilitation Center. Both the IRC and its stroke specialty program are accredited by CARF — recognized internationally for its rigorous standards for quality. Features of the IRC include a transitional living suite, gardening area and putting green as well as a laundry room and kitchen where patients can practice the activities of daily living. “Our IRC truly uses an intensive interdisciplinary team approach of rehab physician and nurses, case management, social workers, physical therapists occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists,” says Linda DeYoung, administrative director of Rehabilitation Services. “Our greatest strength is that 82 percent of our patients are able to return to a home setting.” For patients requiring outpatient rehabilitation, stroke care services are conveniently provided in outpatient rehab centers in Pinehurst, Rockingham, Troy, Raeford and Pembroke. To maintain wellness, all of the programs are integrated with the FirstHealth Centers for Health & Fitness. Some have access to all three rehab therapies (PT, OT and SLP), and most offer pool therapy and state-of-the-art equipment.
Home Care Patients who leave the hospital for home can call upon FirstHealth Home Care Services for assistance. A registered nurse or physical therapist will do a complete in-home assessment of the patient’s needs, usually the day following discharge from the hospital.
As one of only 18 Joint Commission-certified Stroke Centers in North Carolina, FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital offers a community hospital approach to excellence in stroke care, providing all of the necessary elements of evidence-based medicine including 24/7 neurology, neurosurgery and high-tech diagnostics. From that, a detailed interdisciplinary plan of care is developed with patient and/or caregiver participation. Depending on the patient’s needs, the plan may include nursing; physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; and/or the services of a home health aide, social worker or nutritionist. The care plan may also include the use of TeleHealth technology. Small, easy-to-use monitors are placed in the patient’s home, and the patient or caregiver is taught how to take certain measurements including blood pressure. The information is then sent over the home telephone line to a central monitoring station for review by a registered nurse. “This state-of-the-art service allows us to monitor the patient even when we are not there, and helps the patient recover more effectively at home,” says Patty Upham, director of FirstHealth Home Care Services. “Our goal is to help our patients reach their maximum level of independence in the comfort and safety of their own home.”

FirstHealth Centers for Health & Fitness has worked with stroke patients after they completed rehab and outpatient physical therapy and can share numerous examples of the continuum of care that the Centers for Health & Fitness provide for patients once they progress to a fitness center exercise program. “One client came to me using a walker as a result of poor balance and de-conditioning,” Ballard says. “We started out exercising in the pool and progressed to land exercises (balance training, strength training and low-level cardiovascular exercises). He progressed from his walker to a cane to eventually walking without an assistive device. His exercise gave him an improved quality of life, because he was able to perform activities of daily living without as much assistance from his wife.”

Reducing cancer risks From Metro Creative Connection
E
ach year, millions of new cases of cancer are diagnosed across the globe. Although there is no definitive cause for many of the cancers out there, certain lifestyle choices put a person at a greater risk for cancer. By making a few simple changes, that risk can be reduced. 1. Eat steamed broccoli. Broccoli is one of the superfoods purported to help reduce cancer risk. However, microwaving or overcooking broccoli can destroy up to 97 percent of broccoli’s cancerpreventing flavanoids. Therefore, eat broccoli raw or lightly steam it to retain the most nutrients. 2. Load up on garlic. Garlic might contribute to bad breath, but the side effect may be worth it. Garlic contains sulfur that can help fend off cancer by stimulating the body’s natural immune system. 3. Enjoy orange foods. Sweet pota-
toes, carrots and cantaloupe contain carotinoids, which can reduce risk of cancer. 4. Eat some blueberries. Blueberries top the list for antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which can contribute to cancer. 5. Drink plenty of water. The body needs water to stay healthy and flush out contaminants. Therefore, enjoy eight glasses per day. 6. Get a little sunlight. Not only does sunlight boost mood, which can reduce stress and keep the body in top form, the body receives most of its vitamin D from the sun. 7. Reduce animal fat intake. Cut down on the amount of high-fat dairy and meat products consumed. 8. Walk 30 minutes a day. Even moderate exercise can reduce cancer risk. 9. Reduce exposure to chemicals. 10. Enjoy grapes. 11. Choose organic whenever possible.

pinehurst surgical vascular and vein care center
When should you see Vascular Surgeon? From Robert J. Albrecht, MD FACS Pinehurst Surgical Vascular and Vein Care Center Sanford Office
V
ascular surgeons have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the circulatory system, excluding the heart. The circulatory system includes arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the vital organs and limbs, and veins return the blood back to the heart. Diagnosis and treatment by a Vascular surgeon would include diseases affecting the carotid arteries, Albrecht the two arteries that supply blood to the brain; the aorta, the main artery of the chest; the abdomen and the peripheral arteries which supply blood to the extremities. Vascular surgeons also treat diseases affecting the veins including chronic venous insufficiency, phlebi-
tis, varicose veins and spider veins. When should you see a Vascular surgeon? n If you are concerned you have circulatory problems. n If you have varicose veins or other vein problems. n If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm (An aneurysm is an enlargement of an artery). n If you have been diagnosed with atherosclerosis of the carotid artery (hardening of the arteries). n If you have been diagnosed with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) (restriction of blood flow due to plaque buildup). n If you have non-healing leg wounds. Take a simple test to see if you are a candidate for a Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) Screening 1. Hypertension treated with medication for more than 10 years? 2. Diabetic (high sugar) for over 10 years? 3. Are you currently on dialysis? 4. Family history of heart attack or stroke in par-
ents, brothers and or sisters? 5. History of smoking for more than 10 years? 6. History of high cholesterol treated with medicines for over 10 years? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, call for an appointment today. Vascular surgeons are the only physicians trained to care for patients using every vascular treatment available. Some disciplines perform less invasive treatments, but cannot perform surgery. Others are skilled with one organ, but they are not specialists in the entire vascular system. Vascular surgeons do noninvasive diagnostic tests, medical treatments, minimally invasive procedures and open surgeries when necessary. This expertise uniquely qualifies vascular surgeons to make the most accurate diagnosis and prescribe the best treatment for the best outcome. For more information or to make an appointment, please call (919) 895-6340. The Pinehurst Surgical Vascular and Vein Care Center is now conveniently located at 1818 Doctors Drive, Sanford.
DYMOND SPEECH & REHAB
Your child’s communication From Mary Beth McGhee M.A., CCC-SLP Dymond Speech & Rehab., PA
“Serving the Carolina’s for over 30 years”
A
ll children express different interests and strengths. Some kids are active athletes; some are imaginative artists, while others are explorers or builders. Just like strengths and interests, there is variability in child development of speech and language skills. Understanding when to be concerned about your child’s communication can be difficult for parents. To help parents understand more about when to be concerned with your child’s speech and language development, it’s important to be aware of communication expectations at certain ages. Communication begins at an early age with babbling, gesturing and eventually saying words. By the age of two your child should understand around 100 words and be able to say 50 words. At this time your child should also combine two words together to ask questions, make requests and comment about the world. Family and friends interacting with your child should be able to understand around half of what they say. At the age of three your child’s McGhee vocabulary should grow rapidly and include early academic skills such as counting to three, saying first and last name, and answering questions with “yes” or “no.” Family and friends should also understand around 75% of what your three-year-old says. As a parent you can help your child grow and meet these milestones. There are many simple strategies for encouraging and expanding communication that can be used at home. Any daily activity can be turned into an opportunity to learn and expand language. For example, mealtime provides a great opportunity for your child to make requests for more, ask for help and label foods. While dressing your child, labeling body parts, clothing and actions can also encourage language growth. Reading books with children of any age is another great opportunity for learning and communicating. Books provide a great opportunity for a child to use imagination to describe pictures as well as ask and answer questions about the pictures. As a parent you can also expand language by adding to what your child says. Remember to sit down on the same level with your child, get face to face and always have fun. If you have concerns with your child’s speech, language or communication skills, don’t hesitate to seek help. Speech therapists are available to evaluate what the child understands, what they are able to express and how clearly the child speaks. Individual instruction and therapy for children and their families is available through public and private organizations. For information about the resources available, call Dymond Speech and Rehab., PA at (919) 777-0240.

New treatment approach for stroke victims From Liberty Commons
O
ne of the most devastating things that can happen to a person is when they experience a stroke. However, many advances have been made in this area due to education, including prevention and prompt treatment. Many individuals suffering from hemiparesis exhibit some shoulder and elbow movement but little or no hand function. Treatment options have been very limited until now. Patients that were previously believed to have maximized their recovery are now able to return and begin a new level of treatment. A revolutionary new treatment approach is now available for individuals suffering from a neurological injury such as stroke. The Saebo Arm Training Program is now available at Liberty Commons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sanford. In order to provide the Saebo orthotic system and treatment, a therapist must be certified in custom fitting, assessment skills, developing treatment plans and the effective use of the exercise equipment. There are approximately 4,300 therapist in
the world who are certified, 30 are in the State of North Carolina and three of those are on staff at Liberty Commons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Malene Blair, MS, OT/L; Erin Hughes, COTA; and Nicole Miller, COTA. The benefits of the Saebo treatment include: n Maintaining the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved arm and hand in a functional position. n Offers a dynamic component that assists with thumb and finger extension so grasp and release tasks can be accomplished. n Offers a dynamic elbow extension system to facilitate functional reaching. n With the ability to perform grasp and release activities, patients can perform mass practice, task-oriented arm training. Saebo was demonstrated and received enthusiastically at the recent Boomer Senior Expo and featured on a local television show. For more information on Saebo and a free screening, contact Malene Blair, Rehab Director at Liberty Commons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sanford.

aintaining good physical health is like a three-legged stool. It requires good nutrition, a moderate to high level of physical activity and social-connectedness. Like the stool, removing one of the legs makes your health more precarious. Eating right cannot replace the need for exercise. Exercise cannot overcome the health effects that accompany feeling socially isolated. Being well connected to friends does not negate the need to eat right. Two-thirds of American adults are overweight. Almost half of the youth from 5 to 19 years old are overweight.

First, in our fastpaced society people rely more on fast food for eating, which often is cheap but also filled with calories. And when eating at home, foods
loaded with high calorie carbohydrates are less expensive than fruits and vegetables. As a result anyone who shops with a limited budget has a more difficult time eating healthy.

Advances in laser vision correction From Carolina Eye Associates
T
he eye is a complex organ that takes the images around us and focuses them on the retina. The retina, a layer of nerve cells in the back of the eye, sends those crisp clear pictures to the brain. The two most important focusing structures in the eye are the cornea and the lens. If their shape is not perfect or if the eye is too long or too short, the images we see will be blurry. If the cornea is not a perfect sphere like a baseball, and is shaped more like an oblong football, this is called astigmatism. When the length of the eye is either too long or too short, it is called nearsightedness or farsightedness, respectively. Glasses and contact lenses can be used to correct all three of these focusing problems: nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Ophthalmologists from around the world have spent years researching and perfecting surgical techniques to eliminate dependency on glasses and contact lenses, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refractive Surgery.â&#x20AC;? The concept is to change the shape of the cornea so that images seen will be focused perfectly on the retina. There are two main types of laser refractive surgery available
in the U.S.: Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) and Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). PRK involves removing the surface cells of the cornea and applying excimer laser to the superficial cornea. The surface cells then heal over the treated cornea, usually in 3-5 days. While PRK is still used often, there is pain post-operatively and vision results take days to weeks. LASIK was developed to give faster results with less discomfort. Here, a thin flap of corneal tissue is created, gently lifted and excimer laser treatment is applied to the cornea below. The flap is placed back over the treated cornea. Originally, a blade was used to make this flap but more recently the femtosecond laser has almost entirely replaced the older blade method. Both surgical options, PRK and LASIK, have their advantages and disadvantages. The surgeon determines the most appropriate procedure for each patient during the pre-operative evaluation based on the glasses prescription, corneal tissue thickness and other factors. Along with bladeless LASIK, â&#x20AC;&#x153;customâ&#x20AC;? LASIK is another significant advance in laser vision correction. In the past, all eyes were assumed to be the same; patients with the same glasses prescription would
receive the same laser treatment correction. Research, however, has shown that all eyes are not created equal! Every eye has a unique set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;aberrations,â&#x20AC;? small variations in the way images are focused on the retina. Custom treatments take these small variations into account and provide each patient with a correction that is perfectly tailored to their visual system. Untreated aberrations were responsible for the glare and halos that used to be common and sometimes problematic after standard LASIK. The incidence of glare and halos is now much lower with custom treatment, giving a higher quality of vision to LASIK patients. For individuals who want to experience a lifestyle free from contacts lenses and glasses, laser vision correction is a safe and precise option. Recent advances in technology have made the procedure blade-free and customized for each patient. Colleen Grace, MD, is a Corneal Disease, LASIK & Cataract Specialist of Carolina Eye Associates, P.A.

With busy lives, if one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t schedule a specific time for exercise it often gets neglected. Many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an exercise partner, which makes it harder to maintain an exercise schedule. And purchasing equipment or joining a gym may not be affordable. The role of being connected to others and staying healthy is often overlooked. Research now puts isolation as a risk factor for disease on par with smoking and obesity. Being connected to others has been shown to lead to longer, happier lives, greater ability to accomplish things for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self, lower blood pressure and lower prevalence of heart disease. To address needs of the community, the Stevens Center outfitted a fitness room. The room includes a treadmill, stationary bike, NordicTrack, exercise mats and benches, dumbbells and exercise bands, and exercise routines on DVD. As part of a college internship, Central Carolina Community College student Julio Borja is providing supervised exercise in the Stevens Center fitness room, and has also established a social recreation program. Together, the two programs are called Fit and Fun. Fit and Fun will run through Dec. 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to help people safely use the fitness room equipment,â&#x20AC;? said Borja. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people learn how the equipment operates, you can see their interest in using it jump.â&#x20AC;? Borja also leads a social hour, where participants can play Wii, ping pong, cards and board games. It is a chance to relax, have fun and connect with other people. Fit and Fun meets on Wednesdays from noon to 2 p.m. The first hour is in the fitness room, where people develop their own routine and exercise at their own pace in a non-judgmental atmosphere. The second hour is recreation. Fit and Fun meets on Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m. Participants can use the fitness room or enjoy recreation. Fit and Fun is a program that compliments Exercise with Ellen, which meets each Tuesday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Exercise with Ellen, led by Ellen Viggiano, is a combination of lap walking in the temperature controlled gym, and aerobics using DVDs. There is no registration fee for Fit and Fun or Exercise with Ellen. Stevens Center programs provide opportunity for people with disabilities to pursue their dreams as part of the community, and are open to people with and without disabilities. Get involved and see how your life changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make a difference in our community,â&#x20AC;?
