N.C. BIG SWEEP

SOUTHERN LEE HIGH SCHOOL

Volunteers attack trash at San-Lee, Deep River and Carbonton parks

GIRLS IN ANNUAL POWDER PUFF GAME PLAYING FOR A GOOD CAUSE THIS YEAR

By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Dozens of volunteers descended on three Sanford sites Saturday armed with litter tongs and garbage bags. Local participants in the North Carolina Clean Sweep, a statewide land and water cleanup, converged at San-Lee Park, Deep River Park, and Carbonton Dam Park. Approximately 18,000 people from across North Carolina, including more than 70 in Lee County, join the sweep each year. Nearly 40 people turned out to beautify San-Lee Park on Pumping Station Road Saturday— including cub scouts, parks employees and those just wanting to spend the morning outside. Ranger Steve Godfrey, who was supervisor at the site, said the volunteers went so far as to pick up the adjoining highway. “It’s amazing to see people give up their Saturday morning to do this,” Godfrey said, “especially when they work all week and don’t have a lot of time.” Jeff Little, den leader for Cub Scout Pack 61 based in Lillington, offered the services of himself and nine young helpers. In all of their activities, he said, the scouts follow the “leave no trace” doctrine and try to make the area better than they found it. “No one should be

“If we can teach our young people not to litter and take care of their environment, it’ll make it better for the next generation. And we’ll have something to leave them other than a mess.” — STEVE GODFREY — able to tell you’ve been there,” Little said. “When you leave a place, you want the next person to think they were the first person there.” Lenora Barrett, 21, and several of her relatives did their part for the environment while enjoying being outdoors in the mild fall weather. Participating in the sweep, she said, gave her and her children “something active to do.” “It also teaches [the children] at the same time to give back and to keep the place clean where they like to go,” Barrett said. Last year, Lee County volunteers removed about 5,600 pounds of trash from Sanford parks. Tires, beer bottles and car parts composed only a portion of this year’s haul. “If we can teach our young people not to litter and take care of their environment, it’ll make it better for the next generation,” Godfrey said, “and we’ll have something to leave them other than a mess.”

SANFORD — It might be the boys that usually dominate the football field, but Wednesday the girls will battle it out on the Cavalier field for a good cause. Girls from Southern Lee High School’s junior class will face off against girls from the senior class in a powder puff football game to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation. Marketing teacher Brooke Rice’s Sports and Entertainment Marketing II class has spent the past four weeks organizing the event. “The class involves event management, so every year we do some sort of event,” Rice said. This year, the class decided to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure in honor of breast cancer awareness month, and Rice said a powder puff football game seemed like the perfect display of spirit for Southern Lee’s homecoming week.

Southern Lee’s mascot dons the pink sash in honor of this year’s Powder Puff football game. “All of us went down to lunch and signed students up, and some people were responsible for getting teachers to be the coaches,” senior Aiesha Burrell said. The class found 30 girls for each team and also recruited 15 male students to cheer them on. Admission to the game is $3, and the class will distribute pins to people who make donations.

“We’re not taking any profit,” junior Patrick Price said. “Every dollar will go to the foundation.” The class has been busy designing fliers and banners to promote the event. Rice said her students did everything from securing equipment to finding announcers to involving the pep band. “We’re trying to get a lot of different groups involved,” Rice said. In addition to raising money for breast cancer research, Rice said planning the event is meant to build her students’ marketing and event management skills. In recruiting the players and coaches, the students had to figure out how to present their ideas in a way that made people want to participate. “We had to be really professional,” Price said. The school will also

incorporate breast cancer awareness month into its homecoming spirit week with Pink and Black Day on Wednesday, in which students are encouraged to wear pink and black to bring more visibility to the cause. “It’s definitely a worthy cause,” Burrell said. “Teachers here have survived breast cancer, so it really pushes us to want to find a cure.”

OUR AREA

DETAILS OF SBI’S SOCIAL SERVICES PROBE LIKELY WON’T BE RELEASED

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — How the State Bureau of Investigation allegedly bungled a criminal probe of the Cumberland County Department of Social Services may never be fully aired. A spokeswoman for state Attorney General Roy Cooper, who oversees the SBI, said Friday a Davis bureau report on the DSS investigation isn’t likely to be made public. SBI files aren’t considered public records in North Carolina, said Noelle Talley, even after a case is closed without an arrest. District Attorney Ed Grannis said the SBI report was full of factual errors that precluded a successful prosecution of county Social Services Director Brenda Reid Jackson, who was

accused by Fayetteville police of hampering their investigation into the murder of Shaniya Davis. The 5-year-old girl’s body was found in Sanford six days after she was reported missing Nov. 10 from a Fayetteville mobile home park. Grannis said police had to wait days and obtain numerous court orders before the DSS produced thousands of pages of documents chronicling years of contact between county social workers and the girl’s family. The prosecutor said he was “upset� that the SBI had concluded the friction between Jackson and city police was just a “misunderstanding.� Grannis said he went over the SBI report, line by line, with the police. “It took us about a day to realize that we were not going to be able to proceed criminally,� Grannis said. At a news conference

this week, Grannis suggested some DSS records belatedly turned over to police helped city detectives identify a man seen carrying Shaniya into a Sanford hotel. That man, Mario Andrette McNeill, 30, was later charged with Shaniya’s kidnapping, rape and murder. The girl’s mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 26, is facing child abuse charges involving prostitution. DSS officials had an investigation of the Davis household open at the time Antoinette Davis reported her daughter missing, Grannis said. Police Chief Tom Bergamine complained to Grannis after social workers told city detectives that Jackson and her managers were ordering DSS records about the Davis family withheld or destroyed. Grannis called in the SBI, but came away disappointed with the bureau.

“To say we were not happy with the quality of the SBI report would be an understatement,� Grannis told reporters. “In my 40 years, I’ve never seen anything from the SBI that bothered me this much.� The chairman of the county Social Services Board signaled Friday that DSS officials may use the purportedly flawed but secret SBI report to begin repairing their tarnished image. “That’s not completely true, that SBI report,� said Chet Oehme. “Things were quoted in there that weren’t absolutely true.� Oehme said his board may convene a special meeting next week. “We just have to explain to the public what we do in these cases,� Oehme said. Cooper spokeswoman Talley said the SBI would be happy to meet with Grannis to discuss his concerns. The attorney gen-

GET DOUBLE SALES TAX DISCOUNT For the next 2 DAYS at Dossenbach’s

eral has been doing a lot of explaining lately about the SBI, as the unorthodox methods of the bureau’s forensic laboratory potentially jeopardize other criminal cases. Cumberland County commissioners were silent Friday on what they might do about the DSS, which has been racked with dissension and turnover among social workers who handle child-protection cases. The commissioners, who appointed Jackson to a county child-homicide prevention council earlier this year, have argued they have little control over the DSS. They point to state officials, who provide most DSS funding. A state Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman said no official was available Friday to talk about the Grannis findings. — Fayetteville Observer

SILER CITY (MCT) — Chatham County sheriff’s investigators are awaiting a medical examiner’s report to determine whether a man died during an exchange of gunfire with deputies late Tuesday, or whether he took his own life. Jason Teleki, 38, was found dead on a bed inside his home Wednesday afternoon, nearly a full day after sheriff’s deputies tried to arrest him. Teleki had been shot in the head and had a handgun at his side, said Maj. Gary Blankenship of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office. The standoff began about 6 p.m. Tuesday, when sheriff’s deputies arrived at Teleki’s home on Greenhill Drive with arrest and search warrants. Deputies could hear voices inside, but no one came to the door or answered the phone, Blankenship said. Later that night, a team of deputies used tear gas to enter the home, Blankenship said. Someone began firing at the deputies, striking a shield that the lead deputy was holding and knocking him to the ground, he said. “They could see his hand coming around a corner armed with a handgun,� he said. Deputies returned fire as they retreated from the home and reconsidered their strategy, Blankenship said. Continued efforts to communicate with Teleki failed. A search of the home using a State Bureau of Investigation bomb squad robot found no one, though some rooms had apparently been barricaded, blocking the robot’s path, he said. On Wednesday afternoon, officers used a Raleigh Police Department fiber optic camera to peer into a second-story bedroom window, and saw Teleki lying on the bed with an obvious head wound, Blankenship said.

Opinion

6A / Sunday, October 3, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS DOWN: PERCEIVED BIAS We’re not above publishing a letter to the editor that is critical of us. Much of the time, the critique is warranted. But recent letters about The Herald’s perceived bias against Lee County High School football is getting a bit tiresome ... because this is a subject we sincerely feel we are as fair as possible on. The first letter we published came from a parent who was upset The Herald “featured”

Southern Lee on a day when Lee County’s football team had won. We followed that letter with an editor’s note explaining that the home team that week (when LCHS and SLHS play on the same night) gets the “bigger” coverage, regardless of who wins. We also published a column about the subject by Herald Editor Billy Liggett. But a second letter emerged this week espousing the same discontent for our football coverage. Consider this “thumb” our answer to that. Southern Lee won its first football game in almost three years this week, but they did it on the road. We didn’t have a photographer there, and

the game went beyond our deadline ... so the coverage was trumped by another LCHS win. No favoritism. It’s just the way it is. This is the last time we will touch the subject. We’ll still accept letters from those who disagree with us, but we don’t know how to be any more clear about the subject. We love both schools. We wish they were both undefeated. And we wish everybody understood this.

THUMBS UP: THE BIG SWEEP On Saturday, volunteers around North Carolina jumped into action to help clean up various locations and waterways. Three sites in Lee County

was on that list — San-Lee Park, Deep River Park and Carbonton Dam Park. Cleaning up trash may not sound like the most appealing of things to do on a weekend, but their efforts should be much appreciated by the general public. It’s sad that there are a few people who feel the need to litter our waterways, which does nothing but harm for our environment. Thankfully, the Big Sweep operation and the many volunteers are a tremendous asset and we can be thankful there are people who do care for our environment.

Guest Editorial ARLINGTON OVERSIGHT Winston-Salem Journal

We were glad to see Sen. Richard Burr introduce legislation this week to establish strict accountability and oversight of Arlington National Cemetery following the revelation in June that perhaps thousands of the graves of American service personnel may have been improperly marked or misplaced. “My heart goes out to the families affected by the problems at Arlington Cemetery. They have already lost a loved one and should not have to face any more heartache or uncertainty,” Burr said in a statement. “We must ensure that the families of veterans have no doubts about the final resting place of their loved ones who courageously served our country.” Army investigators found that burials were not done properly, maps were inaccurate or mislabeled and records were missing. And, employees apparently failed to respond after unmarked graves were discovered. Burr was joined by Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; Scott Brown, RMass.; Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn.; and Susan Collins, R-Maine, in sponsoring the bill. The legislation would ensure that the new management at Arlington is accountable to Congress. It would require the Secretary of the Army to report to Congress on the cemetery’s ability to verify every gravesite and its plans to remedy errors found. It also requires the Secretary of the Army to report to Congress on how his office plans to provide information to the families. And it requires the General Accounting Office to oversee the management of all contracts at Arlington. The GAO is also to study the feasibility of transferring control of Arlington and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Burr is a ranking member of the Veterans Affairs Committee. The revelations at Arlington National Cemetery are a national embarrassment. This oversight bill should go a long way toward fixing the problems and guaranteeing that our military personnel buried at Arlington are never again subjected to such indignity.

Web Comment RE: USED BOOKSTORE IN SANFORD There seems to be a bit of misunderstanding about the used bookstore and the two sponsoring organizations per reader comments. Yes, both nonprofits receive state grants which are closely monitored via onsite visits of programs, staff interviews, document reviews and monthly reporting; in addition, an annual audit is conducted by a CPA firm selected via the state bidding process. All of this makes for a stringent system of accountability. Yes, it is a risk; the bookstore could fail. However, should it fail, not a single taxpayer dollar will be lost. No state grant money is being used for this effort. — lcpfc

Letters to the Editor Acceptance of living together without marriage is disheartening To the Editor: The Census revealed that for the first time in history, there are more young people aged 24-34 that are unmarried than are married. This would not be alarming of itself, but the corollary news is that cohabitation (living together out of wedlock) is up 13 percent in just this year alone. Add to this the number of unwed mothers giving birth, which is over 50 percent at Central Carolina Hospital (just count the ratio the next time births appear in the paper), and you have a horrific cultural shift in our community and country. Most people will rank their No. 1 concern to be the economy, but the downturn in marriage is far, far more significant. Tony Perkins, FRC President, commented in his Washington Update on Sept. 30 that, “studies show that live-ins are more likely to be unhappy, divorce, cheat, feel depressed, get abused and in the end, they’re less likely to marry each other.” God ordained marriage as a holy covenant that blesses two people and provides the best environment for their children. Cohabitation or trial marriage is a cheap imitation that does neither. I plead with everyone reading this letter to turn back to chaste living before marriage and fidelity afterward. If you’ve already broken these Godgiven rules, confess it before Him, find forgiveness and do it right from now on. No one has ever improved on God’s ways, ever. Ladies, if your boyfriend is pressuring you to let him move in, tell him to buy you a ring and wait until you both say “I do.” Good things are worth waiting for.

REV. BRUCE MacINNES Sanford

Enjoying (and changing) time

“E

njoy it, Billy ... she’ll be in college before you know it.” That statement or a form of that statement must have been uttered to me more than 16 million times to me in the past year. Of course, they’re referring to my daughter, Hayley, who turns 1 today. Yes, I can’t believe she’s gotten so big. I’m amazed by every new word, every new step and this insane sense of humor she’s seemed to develop in recent months. But did the first year just fly by? I can’t say that is has. And trust me ... that’s a great thing. Time is time, I suppose, and our first year with our first daughter was 365 days, just like any other year. But I look back on this first year as one with many more memories, many more highs than lows and many more satisfying firsts. My wife, Jennifer, and I have — in a year’s time — created life and watched it develop from baby to toddler. In a mere 365 days, we’ve gone from first breath to 25 consecutive steps without falling or grabbing a hold of something. That’s more insane than the sense of humor. And when I get particularly sappy, I’ll tell friends and family members that we simply cannot remember what life was like before Hayley ... and I had more than 32 years like that before she ever came along. And I can’t imagine life without her. Sure, perhaps the coming years will “fly by,” but Year 1 was special, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be. And I realize that today’s birthday party — which a ridiculous amount of people agreed to attend (we love all of them ... just amazed they all said yes) — is less a party for Hayley (who actually remembers their first birthday?) and more of a celebration for Jennifer and me. One year as parents. One year as a family. Here’s hoping for a hundred more. And here’s hoping they don’t fly by. ❏❏❏

While we’re on the subject of time, I’m going to share an odd thought I had this week. I was walking to my car from work on Thursday, and for no reason, I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. Really ... it was for no reason. But instead of dismissing my sudden urge to stop, I stood there for about 15 seconds ... then I kept walking. Then I began to think of how I just altered the future by that one sudden out-ofthe-blue urge to stop. Stay with me here. I got in the car about 15 seconds later than I should have. A minute later, I was seconds late reaching the green light, but instead had to stop at the red light. This put

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com me behind about another minute. I ended up getting home, I guess, about two minutes later than I would have had I not stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. My decision probably caused a domino effect ... people were behind me in traffic ... people had to stop at the crosswalk near my home to wait for me to drive by. Sounds silly, I know ... but the thought that I altered the future was empowering. Then again, if you believe in fate or that it was God’s will that I take that 15-second pause ... then I didn’t change a thing. It was supposed to happen like that. So THAT got me thinking ... what if I continue these random 15- or 30-second pauses just to trick Father Time? If I do this several times in a week, will I alter the future in catastrophic ways? Or will I make it better? It’s all really mind-blowing stuff if you really think about it. So my advice is this ... if you ever feel small or unimportant, pick a random time to “alter the future” in the coming days. It’s empowering. This completely random thought was brought to you by my lack of sleep this week. ❏❏❏ Speaking of insanity, I’ve been the subject of a few local blogs this week accusing me of this or that when it comes to politics. I’m too liberal. I’m too conservative. I’m a Tea Party-er. I’m a communist. To the writers, just know I appreciate the mentions, and I take none of it personally. My only question is this — we’re a month away from a pretty important election, and people are worried that I joke around with the sheriff on a “sophomoric” radio show? Worry about the candidates, the issues and the election itself. I’m just a guy who writes for a newspaper and who, on occasion, likes to change the future as we know it on a whim. Come to think of it, maybe you should be worrying about me.

There’s no perfect way to handle the overpopulation of animals in Lee County To the Editor:

I do not know where to begin. How do you ask someone to inject hundreds of dogs and cats a week to end there lives in a more humane way? I cannot even imagine the pain that this will cause to these caregivers at the animal shelter in Sanford. Of course, when thinking of the alternative way these poor pathetic four-legged creatures could have been put down in the gas chamber, this is certainly the better alternative. But why? Someone said that educating the public is where it must begin. How do you do that when old bad habits are so ingrained. “Oh, it’s only a dog, and this is the way I grew up.” It will not be easy to do. I grew up knowing that our pets have feelings just like humans in that they feel pain and happiness just like we do. They need medical care, to be fed and to be given fresh water and also not be tied to a tree or pole at the end of a rope or a chain and left there for hour upon hour. I received an e-mail from a friend with a very sweet ending about this little boy’s pet and would like to share a small portion of it with the readers of this newspaper. When asked about why dogs live for such a short time, the vet really didn’t have an answer for this little boy, who was about to lose his beloved companion to cancer. And the boy thought about it for a few minutes and said, “Well, I think I know why” ... people are born so they can learn to live a good life and learn to be nice to people. Dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t need to stay around as long as we humans. What could we learn as humans from our beloved pets? JOAN AXNER Sanford

A matter of public concern

H

EW YORK — The suicide of an 18-year-old Rutgers University student following an unimaginable invasion of his privacy has launched an overdue examination of casual — and possibly criminal — disregard for others’ personal space. Freshman Tyler Clementi walked onto the George Washington Bridge the night of Sept. 22 and jumped over the edge. A few days earlier, authorities say, his roommate, Dharun Ravi, and a female friend, Molly Wei, had placed a webcam in the dorm room Clementi and Ravi shared, filmed Clementi in an intimate encounter with another man, and posted it online for all to see. There are several dimensions to the story, complicated by the fact that the victim was gay. Based on Internet postings, it appears that Ravi targeted his roommate because of his sexual orientation. Was it a hate crime, or simply a stupid prank that once would have been inconceivable? It was surely an act of unforgivable bullying. Should the alleged perpetrators be prosecuted for invasion of privacy, for which they have been charged, and/or a hate crime? Answers to those questions will have to await investigators. For now, other questions also beg our attention. How did we get here? How could anyone think that another’s most private, intimate moment was fair game? Although Clementi was filmed with another man, one can imagine as easily a roommate spying on a heterosexual encounter. The emergence of social media, combined with mass access to technology — camera-equipped cell phones, pocket-sized video cameras and blogospheric distribution — has enabled an insatiable market for spying and gossip. The result has been a cultural breakdown in decency and a blurring of the boundaries of what should be private and public. Even this discussion feels like an invasion of privacy, given the unbearable pain the Clementi family must be enduring. But sometimes it takes a tragedy to shake us from complacency. Just as Matthew Shepard’s brutal murder in 1998 awakened Americans to the suffering of gays — a mobilized outrage — maybe Tyler Clementi will help us recognize how ugly we have become in our worship of this voyeuristic, celebrity culture. I don’t want to downplay the gay aspect of this travesty, but there isn’t space in a column to tackle everything. For now, it is worth noting that there is welcome movement from groups and individuals, notably Ellen DeGeneres, toward letting young gays and lesbians know where they can find support. Bravo. To that necessary objective, we should add an urgent call to renew respect for privacy. As a community of decent people, we have to rally ourselves to stop the insanity of narcissism and exhibitionism that inculcates the broader notion that nothing is off-limits. Especially poignant was Clementi’s final note to the world, a Facebook status update saying that he was going to kill himself — an electronic adieu to his “friends,” those random and often anonymous folks who sign up to follow one’s life online. Friend, the noun, has become meaningless in world where “friending” is a verb. And privacy, I keep hearing, is dead forever. I don’t buy it. There was once a time when respecting others’ privacy was a matter of manners. Of course, it was also considered bad manners to display oneself — or one’s affections — in public. Some call it puritanism. I call it civilization. Too late, you say? Not at all. ... When others are victimized by another’s lack of scruples, be outraged. And never, ever point a camera at anyone without his or her permission. It’s the least we can do — and not do — for Tyler Clementi.

ere we go again. Meg Whitman says she had no idea that she was employing an illegal immigrant for nine years and fired Nikki Diaz Santillan as soon as she found out. Gloria Allred says she did know and alleges the Social Security Administration told Whitman and her husband in a letter, found with his handwriting on it, six years before they fired her. Whitman says she’ll take a polygraph test. Her husband isn’t talking. Allred admits she’s supporting Brown. Does it matter? Colin Powell admits that there are people who do work around his house who are almost certainly not documented. It’s one more reason why I like Colin Powell. Or two: He’s honest, and he’s not a hypocrite. As in most such cases, it is almost certainly impossible to reach an objective conclusion as to what ‘It’s not about Whitman what the law knew and requires, but what when she decency demands. knew it. It’s When someone certainly plausible comes into your that the home and takes housekeeper care of your chilintercepted dren, the the mail; it’s obligations go in very likely that Whitboth directions.’ man and her husband relied on the employment agency to make sure the woman they were hiring was in this country legally and qualified to work. What bothers me is every time Whitman says her housekeeper was a member of her extended family and that she feels sorry for her. Is that why she fired her? Is that why she opposes creating a path to legalization for women like Nikki, who have worked hard, who are members of our families, who have cleaned our houses and raised our children? I should add that when I say “our,” I don’t mean “my” — but I do mean many people I know, including many who agree with Whitman on the issues. My housekeeper — who is a member not of my extended family but of my family, period — is a United States citizen. I pay Social Security and provide health insurance. I have no plans to run for office or to be confirmed for anything. I do it because we’re both getting on, and I want her to be able to retire with dignity. I thank my lucky stars that I insisted on the health insurance. After years of her telling me that it was just a waste of my money, she got sick last year. She will be the first to tell you that she almost certainly would have died had the wonderful doctors at Kaiser Permanente — paid for by that insurance — not taken such good care of her. It’s not about what the law requires, but what decency demands. When someone comes into your home and takes care of your children, the obligations go in both directions. When my kids were younger, other mothers would literally tell me that my babysitter was “poisoning the well” by telling their sitters that I was encouraging her to take English classes, giving her time off to do so and tutoring her for her citizenship exam, not to mention the Social Security payments. And in the next breath, they would tell me that they opposed “amnesty.” For whom? Meg Whitman is a billionaire. She has spent more than $100 million on mostly mediocre campaign commercials that have left her either tied or trailing. Couldn’t she spare something for the woman who helped free her to make all that money, who did the errands while she was at work, picked up her children and did their laundry? Why didn’t she give her money for a lawyer, give her help in exploring her options, take good enough care of her that she wouldn’t be vulnerable to be “used” by Allred? And why does she oppose the very sort of path to legalization that she says she was willing to help Nikki with, only to be told that none was available?

Liberals confuse me C

hristine O’Donnell, U.S. Senate candidate from Delaware, has faced considerable criticism and news media attention about her youthful association with witchcraft. Have we seen similar news media attention given to other politicians who have made bizarre remarks that border on gross stupidity — possibly lunacy? During a congressional Armed Services hearing in March, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., expressed concern that stationing 8,000 Marines and their equipment on Guam, our Pacific territory, could cause the island “to become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” Such a remark is grossly stupid but the liberal press didn’t give it anywhere near the amount of attention and derision that they gave Christine O’Donnell. On the campaign trail in March 2008, then-presidential candidate Obama told his Beaverton, Ore., audience, “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.” Whether Obama misspoke or not, that’s a grossly stupid remark, but white liberals among the intellectual elite and the liberal news media all but ignored it. Of course, when former Vice President Dan Quayle misspelled “potatoe,” they pounced upon it and had a field day. So what might explain the liberals giving Hank Johnson and Obama a pass whilst playing up the perceived shortcomings of Christine O’Donnell and Dan Quayle? The answer might be as simple as just looking at the colors involved. O’Donnell and Quayle are white and Johnson and Obama are black. That means the white liberal vision comes into play where to openly oppose, criticize and ridicule blacks is racist. The key term is openly. I bet that when alone, in trusted company, white liberals crack up over the things that some black people say and do. The white liberal vision holds one set of standards to which white people are obliged and another that’s lower for blacks. I don’t believe that white liberals are racists in the sense that Klansmen and neo-Nazis are; however, their paternalistic and demeaning attitudes toward blacks are far more debilitating.

Walter Williams

Syndicated Columnist Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

There needs to be a bit of elaboration of the statement that to openly oppose, criticize and ridicule a black is racist. If the black in question is a conservative, possibly Republican, then any sort of criticism and treatment is acceptable. This was seen in the criticism and ridicule of Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell. Garry Trudeau’s “Doonesbury” cartoon featured President Bush referring to Secretary Rice as “brown sugar.” Pat Oliphant showed her as a parrot with big lips ... Don Wright’s cartoon depicted Justice Thomas as Justice Scalia’s lawn jockey. These cartoons were carried in major newspapers nationwide. Ask yourself what would happen to a nationally syndicated cartoonist, and the newspaper that carried it, depicting President Obama as a wideeyed, fat-lipped monkey. Racial double standards are nothing new. It has been the currency on jobs and college campuses where there is an acceptance of behavior by blacks that would be condemned if done by whites. Often misguided white liberal professors, in the name of making up for injustices of the past, give black students grades they didn’t earn. Being 74 years old, I have frequently told people that I’m glad that I received just about all of my education before it became fashionable for white people to like black people. That means I was obliged to live up to higher standards. More blacks need to be bold and challenge the demeaning attitudes of white liberals. During the early years of the Reagan administration, I had a number of press conferences in response to a book or article that I had written. At several of them, I invited the reporters to treat me like a white person — just ask hard questions.

Brain protein tangles offer clue to disease’s effects

WASHINGTON (AP) — That sticky gunk coating Alzheimer’s patients’ brains gets all the notoriety, but another culprit is gaining renewed attention: Protein tangles that clog brain cells and just might determine how fast patients go downhill. Nobody knows what causes Alzheimer’s, although the disease’s hallmark plaque — that gooey stuff called betaamyloid — is the main suspect. Yet repeated attempts at anti-amyloid treatments have failed, the latest disappointment last month when Eli Lilly & Co. abandoned an experimental drug that wound up doing harm, not good. Now comes a different clue: A second protein called tau seems to signal how aggressive the mindrobbing disease will be. Researchers discovered that patients with mild Alzheimer’s and high levels of tau also harbored a genetic alteration that in turn predicted they would worsen faster.

That suggests if scientists could figure out how to lower tau levels, it might slow dementia, says senior researcher Alison Goate of Washington University in St. Louis. More than 5 million Americans are estimated to be living with Alzheimer’s, as many as half in the disease’s early stages. The only available medications temporarily ease symptoms but don’t slow the disease. How quickly a loved one will deteriorate is a big question for families struggling to plan for care — and Goate’s work is a first step at identifying genetic markers to help predict how long someone may function independently and when they might require a nursing home. Don’t look for a genetic test for tau any time soon. This is first-step research that needs to be validated by other laboratories, and Goate says it’s likely just one genetic marker among many to be discovered.

that Alzheimer’s is the fourth most common cause of death for those age 60 and older — afflicting approximately 5.3 million Americans. Praising the purpose of the walk, Olive said, “I encourage all of our citizens to participate.� Valentine and her team, including Bud the dog, led the trek through downtown. Caring for a loved one with dementia, she said, is a “daily challenge.� “You’ve got to have a lot of patience and understanding,� Valentine said. “For me, it’s heartbreaking.� Mitchell Lassiter, who lost his 79-year-old father to Alzheimer’s in July of 2009, recalled that his dad, Robert, could remember names until the last week of his life. “Doctors told us his case was rare,� Lassiter said. “It was a gradual progression, and then it was like he jumped off a cliff in the last month.� Lassiter, the owner of L2 Media Productions,

THE FACTS ON ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE â?? More than 5 million Americans are believed to have Alzheimer’s disease and by 2050, the number could increase to 15 million. â?? It is estimated that 454,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease will be diagnosed this year. â?? According to preliminary data from the CDC, in 2006, approximately 72,914 deaths were recorded as being caused by Alzheimer’s disease. â?? Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. â?? Approximately 5 percent of all cases of Alzheimer’s disease are believed to be familial (hereditary). In familial cases, often called early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, symptoms typically appear within the age range of 30-60 years. â?? Half of those 85 years and older suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. â?? People with poor vision that did not visit an ophthalmologist for treatments had a 9.5 fold increased risk of dementia when followed over an 8.5 year period. â?? Death from Alzheimer’s disease is often underreported or misdiagnosed. â?? Common symptoms include: disturbances in memory, attention, and orientation, changes in personality, language difficulties, and impairments in gait and movement. â?? On average, patients with Alzheimer’s disease live for 8 to 10 years after diagnosis, but this fatal disease can last as long as 20 years, or as little as 3 to 4 years if the patient is over 80 years old when diagnosed. â?? Currently, the only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is to physically examine the brain through autopsy. — Source: AHAF.com

Memory Lane.� The goal of the project, he said, is to educate viewers about the disease and to inform families and caregivers of the resources available to them. “They are not alone,� Lassiter said. “There are groups out there that want to help.� Maxine Hilliard, activities director for Liberty Commons, said Alzheimer’s victims she’s known have a “specialness about them.� One of her patients may have

described the disease best, she said, when he told her, “It doesn’t hurt, I just get lost all the time.� “It frustrates them because they know something’s missing,� Hilliard said. “They just can’t grasp what it is.� For the families, she added, “It’s such a sense of loss, and it’s tragic to see someone you love just evaporating.� As a speech-language pathologist with Sanford Health and Rehabilitation, 24-year-old Lauren Van Husen has also worked with a number of Alzheimer’s patients. In her view, the key to beating the disease is research. “For the millions of families that are affected by Alzheimer’s,� she said, “we need to raise awareness so we can raise funds and find a cure.� Saturday’s walk in Sanford raised close to $20,000 for Alzheimer’srelated research and resources. Organizers recognized Theresa Thompson as the biggest individual contributor and Central Electric as the largest team and the group that had raised the most money. According to team leader Nancy Gust, 20 Central Electric employees participated in the walk. A company fundraiser helped the team raise approximately $2,500. “There’s several in our group who have parents suffering with Alzheimer’s,� Gust said, “and we just thought it would be a great cause.�

The Sanford Herald / Saturday, October 3, 2010 / 9A on the history of Sanford for 35 years, so when they started organizing this tour they knew I could speak about that,� Haire said. Haire compiled a booklet full of old pictures, newspaper clippings and death certificates that he passes out to tour participants as a supplement to his discussion of notable downtown deaths. The stories range from murders to suicides to accidents, including a mine explosion in 1925 that resulted in the deaths of 53 people. The bodies were brought back to the railroad house for identification. “The fact that 53 people lay dead at the railroad house got a big reaction last year because nobody knew that,� Haire said. Haire narrates the tour for free, insisting he’s just its “talking head.� Proceeds from the tour go to NSPIR, Temple Theatre and the Railroad House Museum. “We’re all nonprofits, so we can all use whatever help we can get,� Strickland said. Since last year was the tour’s first year, Strickland said the group only

Following the walking tour, members of NSPIR will take participants to the Temple Theatre, where the group has detected paranormal activity in the past. “Our organization was given permission to do investigations in the Lee Furniture Building and the Temple Theatre, and we were able to get some paranormal activity in both of those places,� said NSPIR member and Sanford resident Donna Strickland, who helped organize the ghost walk. The group started by contacting Temple Theatre and the Railroad House Museum and requesting to incorporate those facilities. For the rest of the tour, NSPIR relies on the expertise of Sanford resident Jimmy Haire. “I’ve been giving talks

This year, NSPIR will limit each tour group to about 40 people. “People just want to be spooked,� Strickland said. “For some reason, October has been the month where all the paranormal stuff gets celebrated, so that’s when the walks are most successful.� NSPIR also added a bus tour this year that is already sold out, but Strickland said the group hopes to expand that next year. When they’re not organizing tours, NSPIR conducts investigations free of charge. The group uses research and scientific equipment, not the stereotypical Ouija boards or seances. “If people have things they’re concerned about going on in their homes, we go in,� Strickland said. “If it ends up that we get documentation that it is paranormal, we try to help the people figure out if they want the spirit to leave or if they want to embrace it and live with it.� Strickland said the ghost walk is for mature teens and older, and she

Governor to tour damaged areas

WINDSOR (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue plans to tour flood damage in eastern North Carolina as swollen rivers were expected to crest Saturday following last week’s heavy rains from Tropical Storm Nicole. Perdue’s office said she would visit the towns of Windsor and Vanceboro on Sunday. The North Carolina State Emergency Response Team said in a news release that much of Windsor is expected to remain under water for several days. The downtown has been evacuated along with more than 40 residents from a nursing home. Some roads remained closed Saturday as rivers and creeks spilled over their banks after as much as 19 inches of rain fell in the Greenville

It was the same area that had been damaged by heavy rain and flooding from 1999’s Hurricane Floyd. “People who live out here are very worried because of what happened in ’99,� James Godley, who lived less than a quarter-mile from the flooded area, told The Daily Reflector of Greenville. “This is the first time they’ve had to close the highway since then. It brings back that fear.� Triumph Missionary Baptist Church was flooded in 1999 and when the church rebuilt, the property’s elevation was raised to protect the

building. That strategy appeared to be working, said deacon Johnny Daniels. Water covered parts of the parking lot Friday, but hadn’t gotten to the building. The National Weather Service expected little relief for flooded areas as most rivers were expected to crest Saturday and forecasts called for a light rain over the next two days. “Given that there will be a bit of lull, any flooding will start to recede and since it won’t be as nearly as much rain, there will be some ponding but it won’t effect our

flooding situation,� said weather service meteorologist Lara Pagano. The Neuse River, the New River, Chicod Creek, Swift River and Trent River were all above flood stage Saturday morning. The State Emergency Response Team said about 35 people remained in four shelters Saturday. About 50 homes and businesses were still without power, down from a peak outage of 70,000 Friday. Water rescue teams, the Highway Patrol, National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard have rescued more than 250 people from flooded houses and cars since late Thursday, mostly in Bertie County.

Bodies of 2 missing boaters found on lake CONNELLYS SPRINGS (AP) — The bodies of two boaters missing since Thursday have been found on Lake Rhodhiss near Connellys Springs. Caldwell County spokeswoman LouAnne Kincaid told The Charlotte Observer that the bodies of 53-year-old Kenneth Wayne Benfield of Newland and 51-year-old Terry Douglas Key of Colletsville were found Friday a couple miles north of Castle Bridge Marina. The two employees of Charlotte-based Crescent Resources were last seen putting their boat in the water at the marina. Kincaid says they were in a company boat and had planned to post forsale signs along the Catawba River.

Police investigate theft of 600 pounds of fish CANTON, N.C. (AP) — Haywood County deputies are looking for someone who stole 600 pounds of fish from a Canton trout farm. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Saturday that the theft was discovered Thursday when Sunburst Trout Farm owner Sally Eason and her husband went to harvest one of their ponds and found almost no fish. Eason says the thieves baited the water to get the fish to the surface and scooped

Aquarium has rare white loggerhead sea turtle PINE KNOLL SHORES (AP) — The North Carolina Aquarium wants visitors to help name a rare white loggerhead sea turtle in its care. Aquarium officials said in a news release Friday that the 2-month old turtle has a genetic abnormality that makes its shell and skin various shades of white rather than the normal gray and brown. The turtle is not a true albino as it has some color variations and its eyes are dark rather than red or pink. North Carolina wildlife biologists found the turtle while checking an excavated nest for weak hatchlings. The aquarium plans to keep and display the turtle because it would be easy pickings for predators and would be susceptible to skin damage from the sun. The hatchling also has a cleft palate and malformed beak that make feeding difficult.

NATION BRIEFS N.Y. woman is seventh person killed in NE storm

BRADLEY, N.Y. (AP) — The rainstorms that caused flooding up and down the East Coast in recent days have claimed another life — this time in New York. State police say they have recovered the body of a 55year-old woman whose car had been swept off the road Friday by rising floodwaters near the town of Claryville in the Catskill Mountains. Searchers found Nancy Lavelle’s body Saturday in the Neversink Reservoir in Bradley, about 80 miles northwest of New York City. Her car had been discovered the day before, upside down in a remote part of the Neversink River about 10 miles upstream. State police Sgt. James Rafferty says the road Lavelle drove on her morning commute was inundated by 3 to 4 feet of floodwater. The bad weather has been blamed for six other deaths in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

On paper, Islamic center looks modern, secular

NEW YORK (AP) — Conceptual sketches of the Islamic center planned two blocks from ground zero envision a futuristic-looking building wrapped in a honeycomb of abstract shapes, with a core containing far more space for secular pursuits than religious worship. The renderings, some of which were posted on the project’s website this week, are preliminary, but they project the development team’s desire to build something cosmopolitan and fun on a site now known only for controversy. “I don’t think that once

this thing gets built, anyone will be picketing,� said Sharif El-Gamal, the project’s developer. Groundbreaking for construction is probably two to three years away, “or hopefully sooner,� El-Gamal told The Associated Press. The largest part of the building — four of 16 floors — would be taken up by a sports, fitness and swimming center. Another full floor would be occupied by a child care center and playground. Much of the rest of the building would be occupied by a restaurant, culinary school, artist studios, exhibition space and an auditorium for cultural events.

San Francisco considers banning Happy Meals toys SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco has a long history of bold public health and environmental stances, going after everything from plastic bags in grocery stores to cigarettes to sugary drinks. The latest target: Ronald McDonald. A proposed city ordinance would ban McDonald’s from putting toys in Happy Meals unless it adds fruit and vegetable portions and limits calories. The proposal would apply to all restaurants, but the focus has been on McDonald’s and its iconic Happy Meals. Supervisor Eric Mar said he proposed the law to protect the health of his constituents, but McDonald’s has waged an aggressive fight to block the measure. A battery of McDonald’s Corp. executives showed up at city hall to argue that the legislation is a heavy-handed effort that threatens the company’s decades-old business model and the free choice of its customers.

Rally shows support for Dems WASHINGTON (AP) — Tapping into anger as the tea party movement has done, a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched by the thousands Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial and pledged to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill. “We are together. This march is about the power to the people,� said Ed Schultz, host of “The Ed Show� on MSNBC. “It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?� In a fiery speech that opened the “One Nation Working Together� rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s rhetoric and vowed to “take back our country.� “This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?� Schultz told the raucous crowd.

edges as they did during Beck’s rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s. AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka urged participants, including his union’s members, to band together. “There is nothing, and I mean nothing, we can’t do when we stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder,� Trumka said. “We will stand together. And we will win together. And we won’t let anyone — and I mean anyone — stand in our way.� That starts as soon as the crowds get back to their homes. “Coming out of here, we’ve got to go home and ask our friends to vote, ask our neighbors to vote,� NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said. “Ever forward, never backwards,� he led the crowd in a cheer. But even participants recognized the challenge. “There may be an enthusiasm gap, but we’re

not going to know until we have an election,� said Ken Bork, who came from Camas, Wash. “A lot of the noise from the extreme right-wing stuff, it’s been well orchestrated by big money. But it’s not as bad as they’re making it out.� Rose Dixon, a health care worker from Pawleys Island, S.C., said she hopes the rally sends a message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “Stop the obstructionism. Work together,� Dixon said. “Stop playing politics as usual and to put the American people first. We’re tired of the politics and the posturing and the games.� The Rev. Al Sharpton, addressing the crowd that swelled through the day, warned activists against apathy. “We’ve got to go home and we’ve got to hit the pavement. We’ve got to knock on doors. We’ve got to ring those church bells,� Sharpton said, urging the crowd to go home and volunteer for candidates.

“This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America.� With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the fourhour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate. More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea partystyle activists. Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the

12A / Sunday, October 3, 2010 / The Sanford Herald ‘THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW’ TURNS 50 TODAY

50 years later, Mayberry going strong The Charlotte Observer (MCT)

F

ifty years ago, the hamlet of Mayberry, North Carolina, invited America in to enjoy its Southern charms. And, strangely, America is still coming. Despite a dynamitemunching goat, kerosene pickles and the occasional citizen’s arrest, Mayberry’s boundaries have held up extraordinarily well. Still in syndication and airing daily on cable’s TV Land, “The Andy Griffith Show” has proven to be one of the most durable shows in the history of television — a medium where program lifespans are often measured in weeks — and lives on as a timeless influence in popular culture. Mayberry is carved into the national lexicon, a synonym for simple and genteel living. Its bugeyed deputy, Barney Fife, is still popular shorthand for bumblers behind a badge. It was set in a Southern paradise free from the emotional turmoil of its age. While war, riots and racial strife battered the nation’s psyche in the 1960s, Mayberry moved at a rocking-chair pace, projecting a come-sit-inthe-parlor mentality little known beyond its fictional ramparts. And what most people don’t know is, its comedic premise started out wrong.

MAYBERRY MAGIC At 9:30 p.m., Oct. 3, 1960, “The Andy Griffith Show” debuted to so-so reviews and terrific ratings. In that episode, titled “The New Housekeeper,” Sheriff Andy Taylor’s Aunt Bee arrived to keep his house and be a mother figure to his son, Opie. Griffith was cast as a comedic hayseed, milking laughs as a folksy bumpkin. That didn’t last. Playing opposite Don Knotts, whose hyperkinetic performance as deputy Barney Fife snagged five Emmys, Griffith realized his talents were best spent playing the straight man to an eccentric cast. “Originally, I was supposed to be funny. I noticed on the second episode that Don was funny and I should be straight. That set it up and I played straight to the rest,” Griffith said in a 2003 interview with The Observer. “And I never regretted it,” added Griffith, who at age 84 lives quietly in Manteo and was not available for an interview. “The straight man has the best part. He gets to be in the show and see it, too.” Griffith quickly became the common-sense core of the narrative, a Solomon of the sticks, with Mayberry’s oddballs orbiting around him. Mayberry Minutia: Actress Margaret Kerry played different characters, Bess Muggins and Helen Scobey, just a few weeks apart in Season 1. She was better known in Hollywood as the nimble dancer who provided the live-action model for Disney’s three-inch Tinkerbell.

OASIS IN A TURBULENT DECADE One facet of Mayberry life was best exemplified by Fife. He was excited to be going to the new movie playing at the theater: “The Monster From Out of Town.” Mayberry was magically insulated from the

in the final days of the Jim Crow era. “I have an issue with that,” says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, who counts “The Andy Griffith Show” among the 10 best TV programs ever made (his list includes “The Sopranos”) and uses it in teaching. “Politically, that was really disturbing. In the ‘60s, especially during the early years before the Civil

world where its viewers dwelled. When big trouble came — in the form of grifters, bank robbers or the three escaped inmates from a women’s prison who captured Barney and barber Floyd — it came from beyond the ramparts, and eventually retreated there again. Mayberry’s purity was organic. By the time the show ended in September 1968, the nation had been through the civil rights struggle, near flashpoint in the Cold War and the buildup in Vietnam. In its last year, the show played to a national backdrop of assassinations, race riots and social upheaval at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In Mayberry, there was only the rock-chucking misanthrope Ernest T. Bass and a town drunk who practiced self-incarceration. M ayberry Minutia: African-American actor Rockne Tarkington was the only black featured as a main character. He appeared in a March 1967 episode as Flip Conroy, a retired NFL player who was going to coach Opie’s football team.

‘THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW’ TURNS 50 TODAY

Griffith Continued from Page 12A

Rights Act, the country was in the throes of major civil rights issues. That show made this small town in North Carolina seem like the Garden of Eden. There was some nasty stuff going on then.” Griffith has acknowledged producers were ineffective in mirroring the nation’s pulse, particularly in racial matters. No African-American ever got a recurring role on the show, whose setting was the rural South. “We tried in every way to get that to happen and we were just unable,” Griffith said in that earlier interview. “At that time black people didn’t want to play subservient roles, to do maids and butlers and all that, and we were unable to make it so people would rush into a black doctor’s office. And I’m sorry about it, too.” Mayberry Minutia: A 1967 episode with Aunt Bee as a holdout juror featured a young, unknown actor named Jack Nicholson.

Don Knotts and Andy Griffith in a publicity image from “The Andy Griffith Show,” a show about a sheriff in a fictional North Carolina town. of place like that did,” he says. “You got the sense you knew this town. You got a sense you could go there. “Even though the thing was shot on a back lot — there were not that many exteriors at all — but even without that, with the references to diners and the movie house, you really got a sense that it was a real place, and within a few seasons it seemed like not only a real place but a good place.” Griffith grew up in Mount Airy, about 90 miles north of Charlotte. References to the foothills city were sprinkled liberally through the scripts. Snappy Lunch (established on Mount Airy’s Main Street in 1923 and still famed for its pork chop sandwiches) was one of Griffith’s boyhood hangouts, and Mount

Pilot (a repository of “fun girls”) sprung from nearby Pilot Mountain. Raleigh was an exotic destination, a place where Barney relished a corner room a the Y. Today, Mount Airy trades on its Mayberry heritage and does a steady tourist business with shops and attractions keyed to the myth. Even the city’s auto salvage yard has a Mayberry theme. As traditional industries have become the victims of offshore competition, tourism in Surry County has grown to an $83 million industry. An Andy Griffith museum in Mount Airy draws about 200 visitors a day and in its first year has attracted tourists from all 50 states. Plenty of children come, too, and know “The Andy Griffith Show” and its characters

from watching reruns with their parents, museum staffers say. “Someday, the word ‘Mayberry’ is going to be in Webster’s dictionary,” says Tanya Jones, executive director of the Surry Arts Council and one of the original organizers of the annual “Mayberry Days” 20 years ago. The festival was held again last weekend and drew an estimated 50,000 visitors. “Mayberry is iconic for gentle living.” Mayberry Minutia: Andy Griffith and Don Knotts starred together in the 1958 movie “No Time for Sergeants.” Two years later, hearing that Griffith was pulling together a show about a small-town sheriff, Knotts called to ask: “You got a deputy?”

MAYBERRY’S IMPACT Television was just entering its teen years as a cultural force when “The Andy Griffith Show” debuted. When it left the air after 249 episodes, it had helped shape a rich decade of programming on CBS. It was the first prime time show to sire two successful spinoffs — “Gomer Pyle, USMC,” which ran for five seasons, and “Mayberry RFD,” which ran for three. It opened the door to a flurry of popular rural comedies on the network: “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Petticoat Junction” and “Green Acres.”

But all were doomed by a new technology. By the late 1960s, Nielsen and other ratings providers were able to not only estimate audience size, but were beginning to develop demographic information on who was watching. Major advertisers wanted to reach younger and more urban audiences. Shows inspired by Mayberry’s success skewed older and rural. CBS began purging the schedule of heartland comedies — most of which were still Top 20 shows — to make room for the next generation of programming that would attract new audiences, revolutionary fare such as “All In the Family” and “M*A*S*H.” Mayberry Minutia: “The Andy Griffith Show” was the fourth-highestrated program of 1960 and throughout its eight-year run was never out of the top 10. In its final year, it finished as TV’s No. 1 show.

FAN CLUBS Jim Clark of Nashville, Tenn., runs a society called The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club. It has about 20,000 members in 1,360 chapters, including a few overseas where U.S. servicemen tend to gather. It’s no mystery to Clark, who co-wrote the 2000 book “Mayberry Memories,” why the program endures. It remains a television rarity. “Primarily, it’s great storytelling,” he says. “Also wholesome. Lots of nostalgia.” In polls of his club

members, a perennial No. 1 show is “Man In a Hurry,” which aired in January 1963. A businessman from Charlotte is eager to get home, but his car breaks down in Mayberry on a Sunday and he waits impatiently for repairs. Slowly, the front-porch charm of the town works its magic and by the end, he decides to put his feet up and sit a spell. “I think that one epitomizes the show,” says Clark. “If you turn on ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ for 30 minutes, you can just slow down and enjoy life.” Mayberry Minutia: Frances Bavier, who played Aunt Bee, loved Studebakers. Her last was a 1966 (it can be seen in a few scenes in “Mayberry RFD”). She took it with her into retirement in Siler City. After her death in 1989, it was auctioned to a fan for $20,000, though her legion of cats had trashed its interior.

A REAL MAYBERRY Betty Lynn played Barney Fife’s girlfriend Thelma Lou in 26 episodes. Years ago, she began coming to Mount Airy for Mayberry Days. Weary of the hassles of life in Los Angeles, she moved to Mount Airy in 2007 and reigns as a town celebrity. When Lynn is scheduled to be at the Andy Griffith museum to speak about the show, lines form out the door for autographs. At 84, she still projects bobby-sox innocence tempered with a soft elegance. “None of us realized people would still love the show after 50 years,” she says. “None of us had a clue when it happened all this would happen later.” She’s been told by many fans that they wished they’d grown up in Mayberry. “I think the fact it was funny, but had heart. Underneath, there was love. Boys would watch it and wish Andy was their daddy. You never know the emotional impact a show can have, but it really had it.” In a serious episode that stretched the dramatic range of TV comedy in 1963, Opie killed a mother bird with his slingshot. His father forced him to listen to the cries of her hungry chicks and raise the birds himself. At episode’s end, he let them fly off, leading to an epilogue emblematic of the show’s fundamental optimism. “Cage sure seems awful empty, don’t it, Pa?” observed Opie. “Yes, son, it sure does,” replied sheriff Taylor. “But don’t the trees seem nice and full?”

Student’s suicide resonates on campus, beyond

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — “Things will get easier; people’s minds will change,” Ellen DeGeneres pleads in an Internet video, staring into the camera, her voice breaking. “And you should be alive to see it.” Just as the murder of Matthew Shepard galvanized the gay community around hate-crime legislation more than a decade ago, the suicide of a Rutgers University student whose sex life was splashed on the Internet has activists rallying around their latest cause: telling tormented gay teens they just need to hang on for a while, that they’ll live through it. Bullying and harassment of young gays and lesbians, and the suicides they have caused, have long been a major topic in gay publications and among activists. But celebrities and others have seized on Tyler Clementi’s

shocking suicide to call attention to the issue. Prosecutors say Clementi’s roommate and another student used a webcam to broadcast on the Internet live images of the 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman having an intimate encounter with another man. Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge three days later. His body was identified Thursday. “To this poor kid, it’s better to be dead than to have people know he’s gay,” said Jean-Marie Navetta, a spokeswoman for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. “Therein lies the real tragedy here.” Clementi’s death was part of a string of suicides last month involving youngsters who were believed to have been victims of anti-gay bullying. Fifteen-year-old Billy Lucas hanged himself in a barn in Greensburg, Ind. Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in

the head in Houston. And 13-year-old Seth Walsh of Tehachapi, Calif., hanged himself from a tree in his backyard. The outpouring of emotion over Clementi’s death recalls the reaction to the killing of Shepard, a gay, 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming. He was found beaten and tied to a lonely fence post in 1998. Two men were convicted in the slaying. Several states passed hatecrime laws in the aftermath of the crime. DeGeneres, one of the first Hollywood celebrities to come out of the closet, posted a video this week in response to Clementi’s suicide. “My heart is breaking for their families, their friends and for our society that continues to let this happen,” the talk show host says in the video. “These kids needed us. We have an obligation to change this. There are

messages everywhere that validate this kind of bullying and taunting and we have to make it stop. We can’t let intolerance and ignorance take another kid’s life.” Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who left office six years ago after declaring himself “a gay American,” called for more understanding for young gay people. “Even here in New Jersey, where we are blessed with a progressive culture, every child travels this journey by himself or herself,” he said. “It can be very painful and very lonely.” Last month, before Clementi’s suicide became known, syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage launched the It Gets Better Project, a series of online videos delivered by adult gays and lesbians designed to tell young people that they can survive harassment and have happy lives.

The suicide has generated more attention for the project, as well as for a campaign started recently by Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays to persuade gay young people to report harassment. Two New Jersey lawmakers said they would introduce legislation to strengthen the state’s antibullying law, and another legislator called for stiffer penalties for invasion of privacy. “We understand that our family’s personal tragedy presents important legal issues for the country as well as for us,” Clementi’s family said in a statement. “Our hope is that our family’s personal tragedy will serve as a call for compassion, empathy and human dignity.” Clementi’s roommate, Dharun Ravi of Plainsboro, N.J., and another student, Molly Wei of Princeton, N.J., both 18, are charged with invasion of privacy,

with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in prison. Prosecutors said they are also looking into the possibility of filing bias charges. A lawyer for Ravi and one believed to be representing Wei have not returned messages. But friends of both have said that they didn’t have a problem with gay people. On the Rutgers campus, where students have expressed guilt that they didn’t know or couldn’t help the quiet Clementi, students set up tables with flowers and sheets of paper on which people could leave messages and condolences for Clementi’s family. “To recognize this individual is not only to honor a life that was so needlessly lost, but to silently (or vocally) speak out against the flagrantly intolerant and ignorant mindset that facilitated this tragic event,” one message read.

Southern Lee earns first win since 2008

Former Lee County star Mike Stryffeler had his first touchdown catch of the season in Campbell’s 27-10 win over Butler on Saturday.

By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — When the going got tough, the Southern Lee Cavaliers never stopped trying to get going. Even after suffering through 24 straight painful losses and playing for three different head coaches in a three-year span, the Cavaliers never stopped working. All of that hard work finally paid off as the Cavaliers defeated Western Harnett 51-48 on Friday night in a thriller that saw many of the fans at Eagles Stadium leave early after the Eagles built a 21point third quarter lead. Some of those fans did re-enter, though, in time to see the final outcome. The Cavs’ win snapped a losing streak that’s plagued this program since 2008. It was also Southern Lee’s first Cape Fear Valley Conference win since 2007. It put the Cavaliers in the upper half of the conference standings with a 1-1 league record and improved them to 1-6 overall. “I’m so happy for my players,” said Southern Lee head coach Tom Paris. “It feels like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders. These players have been through so much with this program and for them to win is an exciting feeling. I’m so proud of every single one of them.” After enduring several blowout losses to four 4-A opponents and the defending 3-A

LOGANO HOLDS OFF BUSCH TO WIN KANSAS KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Joey Logano has plenty of experience racing teammate Kyle Busch for wins. He’s also had his fill of losing races to Busch. Given another chance Saturday to knock off his teammate, Logano got aggressive on a late restart to get past Busch, then used a push from Brad Keselowski to hold on at Kansas Speedway for his second Nationwide Series win of the season. It was the 16th Nationwide victory this season for Joe Gibbs Racing, and gave Toyota the manufacturers title for the third consecutive year. Busch, who led a race-high 64 laps while chasing his 12th Nationwide win of the year, faded to third behind Logano and Keselowski.

Sanford’s Al Rushatz inducted into Army Sports Hall of Fame for prowess in football and wrestling By JONATHAN OWENS owens@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — When Al Rushatz played college football 50 years ago, his team didn’t go to bowl games. Oh, the Army teams of 1958-61 were plenty good enough. The Cadets had winning seasons all three years he played at West Point, more than enough to net a trip to an exotic location for a holiday bowl by today’s standards. But Army wasn’t allowed to go to bowl games back then. And though he was one of the best college football players in the land in his senior year of 1961, professional football wasn’t a viable career option at the time either. Even the star of the National Football League, Johnny Unitas, sold cars in the offseason. Plus, Army players had Vietnam and Korea waiting for them. No, Rushatz and his teammates played for glory. And Rushatz played well enough to warrant induction into Army’s Sport Hall of Fame earlier this month for his prowess both on the gridiron and on the wrestling mat.

Army Sports Information

Al Rushatz (center) accepted his induction into the Army Sports Hall of Fame on Sept. 17 at a ceremony at West Point, N.Y. An All-American in both football and wrestling, Rushatz, who now resides in Carolina Trace, called being recognized by the school — alongside the likes of Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewski — among his proudest achievements in an interview this week after returning from the ceremony. “It’s the epitome of achieve-

ment,” Rushatz said. “To be singled out as one of the best to play there, it is a great honor and very humbling, because there are so many people to choose from.” On the gridiron, Rushatz’s career at Army was filled with highlights. A two-way player (as

INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Stryffeler was the recipient of a nine-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Daniel Polk for his first touchdown reception of the season, which put the Campbell Camels ahead 13-3. The former Lee County Yellow Jacket finished with two catches for 17 yards and the touchdown as Campbell stunned Pioneer Football League rival Butler 27-10 on Saturday afternoon at the Butler Bowl. The win over the reigning PFL Co-Champion Bulldogs also stopped a three-game losing streak as the Camels poured on 270 rushing yards. The Camels (2-3, 1-1) were led by Rashaun Brown’s 91 yard rushing on 20 attempts. Carl Smith tallied 78 yards on his 15 carries. Polk put up 61 yards rushing and 66 yards passing. Brown put the Camels on the board first with a two-yard score. With the extra point sailing through the uprights, the Camels built a 7-0 lead with 1:03 remaining in the first quarter. To set up the 69yard scoring drive, Campbell linebacker Chris Price intercepted a pass from the Butler quarterback at the Campbell 31-yardline. Butler (2-3, 0-2) finally got on the board on its second drive thanks to a 35-yard field goal from David Lang, which cut the Campbell lead to 7-3. On the ensuing Campbell possession, Polk found Stryffeler for the touchown. Campbell led 13-10 at the half before adding 14 more points in the second half. Both of which came on rushes from Smith and C.J. Oates. The Camels will be off next week. They will return home to battle Drake on Saturday, Oct. 16 at Barker-Lane Stadium.

Draughn, Searcy lead Tar Heels over Pirates By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

CHAPEL HILL — Shaun Draughn scored three secondhalf touchdowns while Da’Norris Searcy returned an interception for a touchdown in his first game back to help North Carolina beat East Carolina 42-17 on Saturday. Draughn ran for 137 yards for the Tar Heels (2-2), who have won

two straight games despite continuing to be short-handed due to an ongoing NCAA investigation. Johnny White also ran for a career-high 140 yards while T.J. Yates threw two TD passes, giving North Carolina a win against its instate rival here for the second straight season. Dominique Davis threw for a touchdown for the Pirates (2-2), who got off a solid start

only to see the game slip steadily away from there. East Carolina has now lost two straight games after opening Ruffin McNeill’s tenure at his alma mater with a pair of wins against Conference USA opponents. North Carolina had plenty to feel good about with this win. Draughn fell a yard short of his career high

Chargers bolt past So. Vance By Jeremy Trantham Durham Herald-Sun

PITTSBORO — Tra Chandler provided the fireworks and Northwood’s defense took advantage of a sophomore quarterback making his first varsity start on Friday. Chandler opened the game with an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, had an electrifying 29-yard touchdown run and effectively sealed the Chargers’ 33-6 home victory with a fourth-quarter interception. Chandler also had an interception in the end zone in the first half to nullify a potential scoring drive from the Raiders. “Tra does a little bit of everything for us,” Northwood coach Bill Hall said. “He’s that kind of player.” With Dion Snipes’ interception return for a touchdown, Northwood’s defense and specials teams combined to out-

score the Raiders. “The turnovers were a big thing for us tonight,” Southern Vance coach Mark Perry said. “We started a sophomore at quarterback tonight and I thought he did pretty well for his varsity start.” The Chargers never trailed after Chandler’s opening return due to the defense and a big night from running back Kevin Williams. The junior staked Northwood to a 14-0 lead with a 42yard second-quarter run. Seventeen of his 25 carries came in the second half and he finished with 124 rushing yards and two touchdowns. It was a performance that encouraged Hall after Northwood’s rough start to the season. “We went back to basics,” he said. “Starting Monday we worked on blocking and tackling and played the most complete game we’ve played all year.

fully this is something to build on.” Southern’s longest play from scrimmage came on a 38-yard completion to Shaq LeMay on a fake punt. D.D. Henderson completed 4 of 7 passes in the first half, including a 21-yard touchdown pass to Sardarius Henderson, but was only 1-for-8 in the second half with two interceptions. Both were returned for touchdowns, but Chandler’s return was nullified by a block in the back. “We had two interceptions returned for touchdowns that bounced off of our receivers’ hands,” Perry said.

most were back then), he starred as both a fullback and linebacker. He led his team in rushing two years in a row and currently stands 25th on the school’s career rushing leaders list with 1,414 ground yards. Rushatz, now 70, was named an Eastman Kodak All-American for his efforts in 1961, and played in the same All-American Bowl as N.C. State legendary quarterback Roman Gabriel and Nick Buoniconti. But the game will forever be known for the player who didn’t make the field. Ernie Davis, the Syracuse star and first black Heisman Trophy winner, was diagnosed with leukemia after suffering a nose bleed at practice for the game that week. He died just four months later without ever playing a down for the Cleveland Browns — with whom he had signed just before the game. In wrestling, Ruchatz may have been even better. He was named an AllAmerican in 1960 for the 177 pound weight class after leading his team to the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championship and lost just once in a dual meet during his three-year career. Rushatz said it’s hard to pick which sport he liked more, though. “They are very different sports,” he said. “Wrestling is one-on-one. There’s no one to blame if something goes wrong. I love football dearly, but in football all things can go wrong and it’s not your fault.” West Point is a college experience unlike most, he said. Each student must participate in some athletic activity, and the rigorous course work and physical training can be too much for most college students. In fact, it was all a little daunting for Rushatz at first. He had his heart set on playing for the University of Michigan during recruitment until his father intervened. “I fell in love with Michigan,” he said. “They took me to a Michigan-Ohio State game and I was blown away. A month later Army came calling. My dad said I had to go there, and I didn’t have much choice.” His dad made the right call, he said, looking back, even though that first year was one of the toughest experiences he said he has ever endured. He said the academy uses the first year of rigorous training to weed out the students who don’t have what it takes to succeed there. “Army teaches you a lot more than sports,” he said. “But that first year I wished I was at Michigan every day because it was rough.” Even more impressive than his career at Army is his career in life. After school, he was assigned to the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, then went to flight school and served two-and-a-half-years in Vietnam flying helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft over hostile air. He said he drew from his experiences on the playing field often in battle. “You were driven to succeed,” he said. “You knew that you could do it come hell or high water. It made you fight like your life depended on it, which was good because sometimes it did.” He retired from the military after 28 years — the last

He settled in Carolina Trace in 1990 at the encouragement of one of his old blockers — West Point graduate and former Lee County assistant football coach Barrry Butzer — who had moved to Sanford a few years before. Butzer and Rushatz’s ties dated all the way back their childhood days in Pennsylvania. Rushatz grew up in Allentown and Butzer lived in Lancaster — two high school football hotbeds at the time. But they never faced each other on the field. Then on the first day of Rushatz’s tour of the campus in 1957, he met Butzer. They were friends from the start, and stayed close until Butzer died in a car accident in July 2008. So he said he owes Butzer for opening another lane for him, since he and his family have been happy to settle in Sanford. Two of his three children moved to Sanford as well. And though he said he is proud of his accomplishments at Army, he was even more thankful for the life that sports allowed him to lead. “I was very fortunate and blessed to be in sports,” he said. “I am thankful that I was able to live the life I have. Football opened a lot of doors for me. It gave me the inside track on a lot of things.”

Europe eyes Ryder Cup comeback as night falls NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — The Americans stood behind the 18th green with smiles rarely seen on European soil as they watched yet another match go their way Saturday in the Ryder Cup. They won the opening two sessions. They had a 6-4 lead over Europe. They grabbed lunch and headed back out to the golf course. And then, it all changed. Two hours later, Europe was leading all six matches when darkness stopped play at Celtic Manor. The Americans still had the lead. It just didn’t feel that way. And with so much European blue on the scoreboard, it didn’t even look that way. “Momentum is key in these matches, and we haven’t had any yet,” European captain Colin Montgomerie said. “And it’s been a superb session from the moment that we set off.” No points are awarded until a match is over, but it was looking good for Europe — especially with Lee Westwood and Luke

Tiger Woods tees off on the 6th hole on the second day of the 2010 Ryder Cup golf tournament Saturday at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales. Donald handing Tiger Woods one of his worst beatings ever in a Ryder Cup. They were 4 up over Woods and Steve Stricker through nine holes. “I’d say it wasn’t a bad thing that it got dark,” U.S. captain Corey Pavin said. There has never been a day at the Ryder Cup quite like this one. About the only thing

that resembled a typical Ryder Cup was 11 hours of golf at its highest level. Sixteen players from both sides competed in parts of three matches. The opening fourballs session ended before lunch, followed by six alternateshot matches, and play finally was stopped with six matches of both formats still going on. On two oc-

casions, a fourballs match allowed an alternate-shot match to play through. “I’m not sure what day it is,” Zach Johnson said. Heavy rain was in the forecast for Sunday, with 12 singles matches still to play after the third session is completed. Any stoppage in play would result in the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history. Woods and Stricker won their second straight match convincingly, Stewart Cink delivered a clutch putt and 21-year-old Rickie Fowler atoned for a bizarre blunder by making a birdie on the 18th hole for an unlikely half-point. Padraig Harrington won his first match for Europe in six years and Westwood looked like a player on the verge of going to No. 1 in the world. But the final two hours changed everything. Europe came roaring back behind Westwood, Donald and a host of others, taking the lead in every match and pulling some 40,000 fans who stood in the muck back into the game.

Saints look to regroup against Panthers NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are trying to bounce back from a loss in which they turned the ball over three times, failed to convert a fourth-and-1, gave up 202 yards rushing and missed a field goal in overtime. Their 27-24 defeat at the hands of division rival Atlanta exposed several areas in which the defending champions need work. Yet quarterback Drew Brees remains confident that the Saints aren’t far off from looking like an elite team again. “There’s no soul-searching,� Brees said. “We’re a field goal away from being 3-0. But there are a lot of things that need to be corrected and improved.� As New Orleans (2-1) prepared to host winless Carolina (0-3) on Sunday, two glaring weaknesses for the Saints were running the ball and stopping the run. Through three games, the Saints were dead last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 57.3 yards per game. Their defense ranks 30th out of 32 teams in stopping the run, giving up an average of 145. Then there’s the kicking game. Garrett Hartley’s stunning overtime miss from 29 yards was his third

The Saints don’t want to give up on him, not after his heroics during last season’s playoffs. So coach Sean Payton’s solution was to bring back 46-yearold kicker John Carney as a sort of player-coach. Payton says the two kickers will work together and he’ll decide on Sundays which one will play. The system worked well for much of last season, when the Saints carried both Carney and Hartley for 11 games before converting Carney to a kicking consultant. “The one thing about

John is his experience with the process. He helps all of us when it comes to the snap, hold, kick; that’s a strength of his,� Payton said. “When you have kicked as long as he has — he’s my age — that’s pretty important and it’s helpful.� While the Saints have their share of vulnerabilities, Panthers head coach John Fox doesn’t see this as a particularly good time for his struggling team to be going into the Louisiana Superdome. “I don’t buy into all that,� Fox said. “They’re obviously still a very, very talented team. It’s hard to

win all of them. They’re a very, very, good football team, the defending world champs at their place.� Carolina has struggled in a wide range of areas, notably at quarterback after Matt Moore was pulled after two games and replaced last week by rookie and former Notre Dame standout Jimmy Clausen. Clausen had trouble fumbling snaps — he fumbled three times and lost two of them — and threw an interception in a 20-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Meanwhile, Carolina’s normally prolific, twoheaded running game has been well off pace. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who each rushed for more than 1,100 yards last season, have been held to a combined 248 yards through three games. Opponents have been loading up the line of scrimmage with eight defenders to stop the run, which is what the Saints will probably do until Clausen shows he can beat them downfield. The Panthers have the worst completion percentage in the league at 44.3 and have committed an NFL worst 12 turnovers.

Cavs

Continued from Page 1B

state runner-up in one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the state this year, the Cavaliers never quit. Even after trailing 42-21 early in the third quarter to a winless Western Harnett team, the Cavaliers never stopped playing. Their tremendous heart eventually worked out in their favor as they outscored the Eagles 30-6 in the final 23 minutes to break their losing streak in dramatic fashion. “I think that speaks volumes of the character of this team,� said Paris, who earned his first victory as the coach of the Cavaliers. “These kids hung in there and never got down on themselves. They finally just went out and played the game. They never stopped fighting and never hung their heads. That says a lot about this team. I’m so proud of them.� The emotions ran on the Cavaliers’ sideline after Ace Chalmers scored the game-winning touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:28 remaining in the game. On 4th and 4 and less than a minute to go on the ensuing Western Harnett possession, the Cavalier defense stopped Western Harnett tailback Caleb Chalmers just shy of the first down marker to end the drive and the game. After that big defensive stop, the Cavaliers celebrated on the field and in the locker room. “It was incredible,� said Paris. “You would have thought that they had won the Super Bowl or something. These guys were in desperate need of a win and they went out and got it for us.� After finally settling

Southern Lee tailback Ace Chalmers runs for extra yards in a recent game against South Johnston. Chalmers had the game-winning touchdown run in Friday night’s 51-48 victory over Western Harnett. his team down to give his postgame speech, Paris pointed over to the Western Harnett sideline where head coach George Coltharp and the Eagles were standing, feeling disappointed about losing their eighth straight game dating back to last season. “I told all of our guys to be respectful to Western Harnett because they have all felt the way Western Harnett is feeling this season,� said Paris. “We might have felt the sting a little bit longer than they have, but we’ve felt it. Part of winning is about winning with class. We’ve felt Western’s pain.� Prior to Friday night, Southern Lee’s last victory came under former head coach Bill Maczko when the Cavaliers defeated the county rival Lee County Yellow Jackets in Brick City Bowl III for his first and only win as the head coach of the program. After beating the Yellow Jackets, the Cavaliers were 1-2 before losing the final seven games of the 2008 season to finish 1-9. Maczko was replaced by Eric Puryear, who had an impressive coaching resume working in college and in the NFL. Unfortunately, the Cava-

liers regressed in Puryear’s lone season at the school as they finished the season winless at 0-11. Puryear’s contract was not renewed at the end of the school year, and he was replaced by Paris, whose attitude about the program has remained positive throughout. After five blowout losses and one painful 21-14 conference opening loss to Westover where the Cavaliers led for much of the way, they finally started seeing success. “These players have been through so much,� said Paris. “They kept believing in what we were doing. I kept telling them that good things were going to happen to this program and they kept believing.� The Cavaliers will face Gray’s Creek (5-2, 2-0) next week in Sanford and a win will put them at 2-1 in the conference standings. Paris hopes the Cavaliers will play with a new level of confidence now that they’ve gotten that coveted victory. “We better play with a new sense of urgency,� said Paris. “I’d like us to come out and start a new streak and winning two games in a row makes a winning streak.�

WESLEY BEESON / The Sanford Herald

Carolina’s Jheranie Boyd catches a pass and scores a touchdown as East Carolina’s Travis Simmons tries to bring him down during the first quarter on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. a two-possession game, then bulled over defenders at the pylon for a 4-yard score midway through the fourth. He scored on a 13-yard run in the final minute, capping an eight-play drive in which he carried the ball on every play. North Carolina was without 11 players due to the NCAA review into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct involving a tutor. The school had held Searcy — a safety who started every game last season — out of the first three games to determine his eligibility before he was cleared to return Thursday. The announcement came so late in the week

Heels Continued from Page 1B

Draughn fell a yard short of his career high and got stronger against the Pirates’ struggling defense, while White overcame an ankle injury that had him questionable for the game with a strong performance of his own. It marked the first time in six years that the Tar Heels had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game, and the first time in five years that the Pirates had allowed two 100-yard rushers. Draughn scored on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter to make it

that coach Butch Davis said it was unclear exactly how much Searcy could contribute. But Searcy made a huge play, grabbing an overthrown pass from Davis then cutting back inside of Dwayne Harris’ attempted tackle on the way to the end zone to tie it at 14 heading into halftime. That was the highlight of a defensive effort that steadily improved as the game went on, with the Pirates’ spread offense rolling to 131 yards in the first quarter but managing fewer yards with each period. And it was enough help for an offense that didn’t look particularly sharp, yet avoided committing any turnovers for the first time this season.

N.C. State

Taylor, Hokies hand Wolfpack first loss RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Virginia Tech needed one of the most impressive comebacks in school history to take the next step back from a different kind of deficit. Tyrod Taylor threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jarrett Boykin with 1:27 left, and the Hokies staged their biggest rally under coach Frank Beamer, rallying from 17 points down to beat No. 23 North Carolina State 41-30 on Saturday. “I’ve had a lot of proud moments at Virginia Tech, a lot of good teams,� Beamer said. “But I’ve never been prouder of a team than I am today.� Taylor finished 12 of 24 for 123 yards with three touchdown passes and rushed for 121 yards to lead the Hokies (3-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) back from a 17-0 deficit to their third straight victory. He and the Hokies got their offense clicking just in time. They scored on five of their seven secondhalf possessions and came

away with 34 points after halftime. At times, they barely resembled the team that started 0-2 and plummeted from the Top 25 with season-opening losses to Boise State and James Madison. “If we get off to a fast start like we played in the second half,� running back Darren Evans said, “we’re going to be a tough team to beat.� Evans rushed for 160 yards and touchdowns covering 54 and 3 yards, and David Wilson returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score. Russell Wilson threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns for the Wolfpack (41, 1-1), but was intercepted three times by Jayron Hosley. They were off to their best start since 2002 and entered as the ACC’s last remaining unbeaten, but their first appearance in the national rankings since ’03 likely will be a short one. “It’s football. Football has no friends,� receiver Owen Spencer said. “It’s a two-faced game. You’re

to the goal line. Taylor’s 2-point conversion pass was incomplete, leaving it at 34-30. “Tyrod hit me, and it was up to me to get to the end zone,� Boykin said. N.C. State’s Wilson heaved the ball downfield on his first offensive play after that, but Hosley picked it off with 1:02 left. Evans then powered in with 28 seconds remaining to make the score look more lopsided than it actually was. Taylor also threw AP photo

The Hokies were frustrated after last week’s offensively challenged 19-0 victory at Boston College in which they came away with just one touchdown in four trips to the red zone. Taylor gave the Hokies their first lead with 12:24 remaining when he found Smith alone in the back of the end zone to make it 28-27.

Tragic end to one life gives renewed life to three others

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You see, you do, you transform, you get ahead. It’s simple, so stop making things so complex. Now is not the time to be withdrawing or letting someone upset your plans. If a partnership or old friendship is wearing thin, make it work or move on. Be strong, implement your plans and follow through. Your numbers are 2, 10, 12, 26, 28, 33, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have fun but play it safe when it comes to love. Jealousy is likely to flare up if you flirt and can lead to relationship situations that can affect your future. There is no halfway when it comes to love. 5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stick to the truth and don’t bend the rules. As long as you are open and honest, you will not face opposition but trying to get away with something will backfire. Emotional issues that concern children or a partner can be expected. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love, coupled with entertainment, should be on your agenda. A little pampering will go a long way. Some interesting changes at home will add to your comfort, enjoyment and ease when it comes to getting chores done. 4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t count on getting any help and you won’t be disappointed. There will be plenty to talk about but conversations will lead to disagreements. Actions will pave the way to a better relationship with someone you love. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out of the house and engage in activities that allow you to explore new avenues and learn new skills. Taking on a disgruntled partner or someone you reside with will be a waste of time and energy. Preparation should be your goal. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone will try to take advantage of you. Don’t be swayed by compli-

WORD JUMBLE

ments or emotional tactics. If you don’t want to do something, say so. Put your time and energy into home, family and personal improvements. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your hard work and dedication to a cause will pay off and bring you opportunities that you cannot turn down. Don’t let someone’s jealousy stop you from fully enjoying what’s being offered. A talent you have can be turned into a profitable service. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be feeling pressured and anxious about what’s going on in your life, personally and professionally. Prepare for every possible outcome so you don’t leave anything to chance. Don’t neglect someone you love. 2 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Strive for attention and show everyone what you have to offer. The ease at which you present your talent and deal with the people you meet will impress someone who can use your type of savvy approach. Travel may be necessary. 5 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have to work long hours. Not everyone will be happy with your choices and demands will be put on you if you fall short when it comes to the expectations of friends and family. Travel will be riddled with delays, detours and restrictions. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow your heart and you will make the right decision. A problem with a past lover or someone trying to take advantage of what you have will arise. Don’t fall for insincere gestures of friendliness. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Getting together with someone who has as much to contribute as you can result in a worthwhile investment of both time and money. Make sure you put everything in writing and that you have discussed the division of responsibilities, so there are no surprises. 3 stars

DEAR ABBY: My dad was on the kidney transplant list for almost four years. Last week, he received a call that there was a kidney for him. As I sat in the waiting room during his transplant surgery, I became aware that two other families were in the same situation. One’s relative was also getting a kidney transplant, the other a liver. As we talked, it became apparent that every transplant surgery that evening was from the same donor. I can’t help but think of the family who lost this young man, who helped to save the lives of three people while grieving their loss. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to that family and to all the families who have donated the organs of their loved ones. Because of one person, my father and two other dads got a new lease on life. My plea is for people to mark the back of their driver’s license to indicate their willingness to become an organ donor. Also let your families know that you want your organs donated if, God forbid, anything were to ever happen. It will make the decision for them much easier. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak out and perhaps save someone’s life the way someone saved my dad, whom I love very much. — GRATEFUL DAUGHTER IN OWENSBORO, KY. DEAR DAUGHTER: Your letter touched my heart. I hope it will

remind everyone what a precious gift each of us can give if we wish. Readers, I encourage all of you to discuss the subject of organ donation with your families. Let them know you would like to give the “gift of life” and ensure that a part of you lives on. Your generosity can make the difference between life and death for someone. For more information about organ donation, contact the National Kidney Foundation at Box DA, 30 E. 33rd St., New York, NY 10016, call toll-free (800) 622-9010 or log onto www.kidney.org. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend has asked me to be her maid of honor. Of course I agreed, but my husband doesn’t want me to for a couple of reasons. First, he says I shouldn’t be a maid of honor because I am married. Second, he’s uncomfortable about my walking down the aisle with another man

(the best man) and being photographed with him. I want to be there for my friend, but I don’t want to create tension between my husband and me. He has made it clear that if I choose to be in this wedding he won’t attend as a guest. The wedding is scheduled for a year from now, and I don’t want to be stressing about this until next September. What should I do? — TORN BETWEEN MY FRIEND AND MY HUSBAND DEAR TORN: It appears you have married a man who is insecure and controlling. If he had said he’d be uncomfortable if you were seated with the bridal party at the reception while he sat in “Siberia,” I would understand. However, his idea that a married woman cannot be a maid of honor is incorrect, and his objection that there’s something wrong with your walking down the aisle or being photographed with the best man is ridiculous. So tell your husband (sweetly) that he’ll be missed at the wedding, and if he’s more comfortable not attending it’s OK with you. ❏❏❏ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

ODDS AND ENDS Hose falls from Marine plane onto SoCal house SAN DIEGO (AP) — Military officials say a refueling hose fell from a large cargo plane and landed on a house in a San Diego County neighborhood. Nobody was injured. Maj. Jay Delarosa of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar says investigators will try to determine how the heavy-duty retractable rubber hose became detached from a C-130J Hercules late Saturday morning. The house in Carmel Mountain just north of the Marine base sustained roof damage. It’s unclear whether anyone was inside at the time. Delarosa says there was likely a small amount of jet fuel in the hose. San Diego hazmat crews and Marine Corps recovery teams are on the scene. Delarosa didn’t know if the four-engine C-130J was in the process of refueling another aircraft when the hose fell. The mishap occurred as the annual Miramar Air Show attracted tens of thousands of people to the Miramar base.

UK book halts traffic after truck turns over LONDON (AP) — Andrew Marr’s latest book is, literally, stopping traffic. The BBC is reporting that 15 British tons (16.8 U.S. tons) worth of the journalist’s history volume “The Making of Modern Britain” have been strewn across a busy English road after an accident. Thames Valley Police said Wednesday that a truck carrying books overturned about 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of

MY ANSWER London just before midnight on Tuesday. The driver suffered cuts to his arms, and the road was closed throughout the night as the books were cleared away. Police could not confirm that the spilled title was “The Making of Modern Britain,” described by its publisher as “a fascinating portrait of life in Britain during the first half of the 20th century.” Marr is a BBC reporter and presenter.

Chippendales can’t trademark the bow tie/shirt cuffs outfit WASHINGTON (AP) — The male erotic dancer company Chippendales stumbled on Friday when an appeals court ruled that it could not trademark the bow tie and shirt cuffs that the men wear. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in a ruling -- which included a sketch of a fit gentleman shown from the waist up wearing only a bow tie and shirt cuffs -- that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was correct in refusing to trademark the “Cuffs and Collar” costume. New York-based Chippendales, which filed the original trademark application in 2000, failed to prove that the bow tie and cuffs costume was distinctive, the court said. The court noted that the Chippendales’ expert witness acknowledged that the outfit was “inspired” by the Playboy bunny suit, thus stripping the Chippendales’ Cuffs & Collar of the distinctiveness needed to get a trademark. The Playboy bunny suit was trademarked in 1964 and expired in 2004, the court said. That costume is shirt cuffs, corset, tie, bunny ears and bunny tail.

Your 2nd chance is waiting Q: Does God ever give us a second chance? I’ve made some bad decisions about my life the last few years and now I’m paying the price for them. Does this mean God has given up on me and things will never get any better? -- B.K. A: No, this does not mean that God has given up on you, or that nothing about your life can ever change. God is the God of the second chance! The Bible says that God “is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity” (Joel 2:13). If God weren’t this way, none of us would have any hope, because we all make mistakes. But God isn’t like this. No matter how far we’ve wandered from Him or how much we’ve messed up our lives, He still loves us and wants to help us get our feet on the right path. Do you remember Jesus’ disciple Peter? When Jesus was arrested Peter denied he even knew Jesus -- but later he repented, and God forgave him and restored him. The key is to realize that we can’t do this ourselves. We need God’s help -- and He is ready to give it to us. Begin by confessing your sins to God and asking Christ to come into your life as your Savior and Lord. Then ask Him to help you make right decisions, and to live the way He wants you to live. In addition, surround yourself with new friends -- friends who love Christ and will help you and encourage you. Ask God to help you find a church which has Christ and His Word at its center, so you can find friends like this and learn what it means to follow Jesus every day.

Facebook founder’s story no longer his alone

By ADAM GELLER AP National Writer

Robert Reich’s advice

S

o what are we to do about an economy that is so badly bro-

ken? We have to look at where we’ve been, figure out what went wrong and be open to new ways of doing things. That’s what Robert B. Reich does in “Aftershock: The Next Economy and America’s Future” (Knopf, $25), which is the October selection for the Color of Money Book Club. But I’m warning you. This isn’t the type of book you take to the beach or sit by your nightstand eagerly awaiting the hour when all the children are in bed. It’s academic. And yet Reich’s historical look at the economic crisis is a good read. So yes, you might roll your eyes at this selection. But focus anyway on Reich’s analysis on how to fix our economy. Reich, secretary of labor under President Clinton and now a professor of public policy at the University of California-Berkeley, provides a thoughtful dialogue about the structural problems that led to the recent recession. Even as things seem to be getting better, the aftershock has only begun, Reich says. “The future is uncertain, of course, but indications are that the so-called recovery will be anemic,” Reich writes. “A large percentage of Americans will remain jobless, or their wages will drop. American consumers will not be able to spend enough to keep the recovery going. Without sufficient customers, businesses will not invest enough to fuel a sustained growth. Foreign markets, especially China, will not buy enough American exports to make up for the shortfall because they will be concerned about their own unemployment. ... And the U.S. government will not be able to run deficits large or long enough, or keep money cheap enough for a sufficient length of time, to fill the gap.” Has he scared you? Well, let me scare you some more. Thirty-one states saw increases in both the number and percentage of people in poverty between 2008 and 2009, according to the 2009 American Community Survey recently released by the Census Bureau. In 2009, 11.7 million households reported receiving food stamps. The percentage of people without health coverage increased in 26 states. Nationwide, nearly two in five renters said their housing costs consumed 35 percent or more of their incomes. When you’re spending a high percentage of your net pay on housing, you don’t have much room to save. Reich is deeply con-

The Harvard dormitory where Facebook was born is a red brick and ivy-draped campus castle that, beyond just being a place to sleep and study, has long prided itself as a community of the best and the brightest. But Kirkland House — where a curly-haired 19-year-old prodigy named Mark Zuckerberg hid out in his room for a week writing the computer code that would eventually redefine the way people interact on the Internet — is wary of threats to its sanctuary. “Do not copy or lend your key to anyone,” it instructs residents. “Do not allow anyone access to the House unless you know him/her.” Ever since Zuckerberg dropped out at the end of his sophomore year, he has worked to create an online world where such rules no longer apply. Facebook — with 500 million users, the world’s largest social networking site — began as a tool for communication between people who knew each other and were bound by shared and exclusive interests. Zuckerberg required those signing up to have a Harvard e-mail address, months after the university nearly expelled him for hacking its computers and jolting the campus with a site that encouraged students to rank their classmates’ looks. That site, called Facemash, made fast enemies. But with its successor, Zuckerberg vastly expanded what it means to make friends. Zuckerberg, now 26, has built Facebook into an international phenomenon by stretching the lines of social convention and embracing a new and far more permeable definition of community. In this new world, users are able, with a few keystrokes, to construct a social network well beyond what would ever be possible face-to-face. We are encouraged to disclose personal information freely, offering up the stuff of everyday life as material worthy of the biggest stage. In Zuckerberg’s world, the greatest status is conferred on those who “friend” others fast and frequently, even those they’ve never met. “I’m trying to make the world a more open place,” Zuckerberg says in the “bio” line of his own Facebook page. This week, ready or not, the publicity-shy wunderkind — whose own story has largely escaped the public’s attention despite widespread fascination with the network he created — is being forced into the open in a way far beyond his control. On Friday, Hollywood laid out

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers a keynote address at a conference in San Francisco. Zuckerberg has built Facebook into an international phenomenon by stretching the lines of social convention and embracing a new and far more permeable definition of community. its version of his story in a movie called “The Social Network.” The script by Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing”) depicts Zuckerberg as a socially inept and intellectually corrupt genius, fighting wars with both friends and rivals for the right to call Facebook his own. The movie comes a week after Zuckerberg, in the last chance to shape his image independently, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to announce a $100 million donation to the long-troubled Newark, N.J., school system, casting himself as the nation’s brightest young face of philanthropy. “When you look at the gift to Newark what it demonstrates is his recognizing that he can’t leave it to the movie to define his image to the general public because he has no image,” says David Kirkpatrick, author of “The Facebook Effect,” a book chronicling Zuckerberg’s story that was written with the cooperation of the man and his company. Central to this tale: the contradiction between the blank slate that is Zuckerberg, and his campaign to get people to bare their souls via Facebook. A Facebook spokesman, Larry Yu, said Zuckerberg would not agree to an interview to talk about himself. That reluctance, he acknowledges, contributes to the

vacuum that is the CEO’s public persona. “He is a shy guy, no question about it,” Yu said. “He does not like doing press stuff. What excites him is building things.” Yu said Zuckerberg was not trying to seize control of his image with the donation to Newark. Company public relations staff had warned him to delay the announcement because it would be seen as a ploy, he said. Zuckerberg decided to go ahead despite that concern, because the timing suited city and state officials and the producers of “Oprah,” Yu said. Zuckerberg, who grew up in the New York suburb of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., in a hilltop house where his father still runs a first-floor dental practice, was a programming prodigy. He began writing code at 10 on an Atari computer his dad bought, devising games and having friends do the graphics. As a senior at Phillips Exeter Academy, he and a friend created a web tool called Synapse that built personalized music playlists by automatically determining listener’s preferences. Microsoft reportedly offered the pair nearly $1 million, but they turned it down. Exactly what happened after he got to Harvard in 2003 depends on who’s doing the

recounting. Soon after he arrived, Zuckerberg created a site called Coursematch that allowed students to choose classes by showing what their classmates were doing. Then, in the fall of his sophomore year, he hacked into the online “facebooks” of Harvard’s residential halls to create Fashmash. “The Kirkland facebook is open on my computer desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous facebook pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive,” Zuckerberg wrote at the time, in his online journal. The university’s Administrative Board called him in for a hearing, but let him remain at the school. Zuckerberg told the Harvard Crimson student newspaper that criticism of the site had made him rethink its viability. “Issues about violating people’s privacy don’t seem to be surmountable,” he said in an e-mail to the Crimson. “I’m not willing to risk insulting anyone.” In early 2004, former classmates say, the normally sociable Zuckerberg all but vanished for a week, emerging from his room

CHAMBER CHAT

Has the recession really come to an end?

T Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.

he National Bureau of Economic Research, a private, non-partisan think tank in Boston released a report last week noting that the recession was officially over in June of 2009. In a Newsweek article this week, financial reporter Rana Foroohar commented that these types of scholarly reports are often delayed for many months while research is completed. She also reported that even more months will go by before we figure out definitively what caused

this recession and, more important, figure out why unemployment still remains at historically high levels even as the economy is growing again. In most prior recessions, Foroohar notes, job losses were spread throughout the economy.

This time three fields-construction, manufacturing (particularly automotive), and finance-have been hit harder than others. Meanwhile, other sectors of the economy are growing, including health and education. The problem is these sectors can’t find enough workers, partly because the labor market has yet to adjust to traditionally low salaries for these jobs. While this mismatch may help teachers and

cerned about the growing wealth gap. The latest Census Bureau figures found that the top-earning 20 percent of Americans received 49.4 percent of all income generated in the U.S. The last time wealth was concentrated this much at the top was just before the Great Depression. Why is it troublesome that the rich are getting richer? Shouldn’t they benefit from their hard work, they might ask? The problem is the rich aren’t like the majority. “Rich Americans may sometimes be conspicuous consumers, but overall they simply do not spend enough,” Reich says. Reich writes that he could have easily grounded his arguments around morality -- that it’s unfair for so few to have so much when so many have so little. But he doesn’t go there. He wants to prevent a revolt against the rich. He argues that a high concentration of wealth at the top results in less for us all. Unless we address the large inequality, “the inevitable result is a slower economic growth and an

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, October 3, 2010 / 10B economy increasingly susceptible to great booms and terrible busts.” Reich ultimately offers up a number of solutions that will no doubt be readily dismissed and despised, chiefly raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. But his ideas are worth exploring. We have to stem the heavy borrowing for a higher education, he says. So he suggests tuition should be free at all public colleges and universities.

to urge his friends to join a new creation called The Facebook. Stephanie Camaglia Reznick, then a freshman at Harvard who was the 92nd to sign up, says Zuckerberg fast gained notoriety. When she arrived for the first day of a discussion group for an introductory psychology class, eyebrows went up when Zuckerberg’s turn came to introduce himself. “Someone said, ’Great, you’re the Facebook guy!’ And he was so embarrassed,” says Reznick, now a medical student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “He really played it down.” Classmate James Oliver recalls a conversation in the dorm soon after, when

Zuckerberg — he and others still refer to him as “Zuck” — explained that he had worked to launch Facebook quickly to show up a Harvard administrator who had said a university-wide online directory would take two years to create. By the end of the semester, Facebook had nearly 160,000 users. Oliver, who now lives in Los Angeles, calls Zuckerberg the smartest person he met at Harvard. “People were making jokes in freshman and sophomore years that all the humanities majors were going to ask to be Zuck’s gardeners when he became rich and famous,” he said. But three fellow Harvard students quickly took issue with Zuckerberg’s creation. Identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and friend Divya Narendra said

they had hired Zuckerberg to write computer code for their own social networking site in November 2003, and that he had stolen their idea. “I worked with the expectation that I would be included in the overall development of the project but found that I was being subjected to demands on my time without truly being made a part of the development team,” Zuckerberg wrote Cameron Winklevoss in a February 2004 e-mail at the time, later quoted in a lawsuit filed by the trio. The dispute over Facebook’s beginnings — which the company settled by paying the trio $65 million — is far from unique. Inventors have been fighting to take credit for technology’s biggest ideas since at least the telephone, says Paul Saffo, a longtime

Silicon Valley forecaster. In the summer after his sophomore year, Zuckerberg left Harvard for a rented house in Silicon Valley to build Facebook, expanding it to other campuses and then across the globe with venture funding from Peter Thiel, one of the founders of PayPal. Each time it seemed to plateau, Zuckerberg revamped it to create new utility and sources of entertainment. He turned down an offer from Yahoo! to buy the company for $1 billion. As it has grown into a phenomenon, Facebook has repeatedly sparked privacy concerns from critics concerned about its push to get users to reveal more personal information. But Zuckerberg, the face of Facebook, has offered up relatively little about himself.

workers partly because we were more willing to relocate to find a new or better job. But in this recession, with so many homeowners unable to sell a home, their ability to relocate is restricted. According to research, there are many more jobs available in places like Washington, D.C.; South Carolina; North Dakota;

and Louisiana. But, says Ms. Foroohar, the unemployed people in Nevada, Michigan, and California, and Florida can’t afford to take these jobs because they can’t afford to move. While it’s debatable exactly how much dislocation and labor supply problems contribute to the unemployment rate (As the old joke goes, economics is the only field in which two people can receive a Nobel Prize for saying exactly the opposite thing.) these factors are clearly having a significant effect. And, as Ms. Foroohar points out, the solutions aren’t easy. Retraining workers is the key but it takes time to train people in the fields where jobs are being created. Unemployment is highest among younger workers and that could actually help since they are the easiest to retrain. But teaching new skills takes time and

money, and there’s an urgent need to find them jobs now. Central Carolina Community College is doing a great job teaching new skills to both young and not-so-young people. Enrollment is at all-time highs. The College has limited resources however, and rumblings of budget cuts on the horizon are already being heard. In our current economic environment, there are few priorities more important than this. We should maintain every possible method and avenue of training local displaced workers as well as young people who are new to the workforce. Over the years, CCCC has been our best economic development tool. Now, and for the foreseeable future, it may be the best way of getting folks back to work.

Should You Take “Early Retirement?” s 9OUR ELIGIBILITY FOR 3OCIAL 3ECURITY You can start collecting Social Security as early as 62, but if you wait until your “full” retirement age, which will probably be around 66, your monthly payments will be larger. And if you delay taking payments until you’re 70, you can collect the maximum payments. If you continue working, but also start taking Social Security, your benefits will be reduced, up until you reach full retirement age. After that point, you can earn as much as you want without losing any benefits. s 9OUR POTENTIAL INCOME STREAM FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS You don’t have to start taking withdrawals (“distributions”) from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan until you’re 70-1/2. But if you want to take early retirement, you’ll likely have to tap into these resources much sooner, so you’ll need to calculate some hypothetical withdrawal rates to make sure your money will last. s 9OUR INVESTMENT MIX Outside

your IRA and 401(k), you may well have built an investment portfolio over the years. As you contemplate early retirement, you’ll need to look at this portfolio to see if it’s structured, or could be structured, to provide you with both the income stream you’ll need as a retiree and the growth potential to keep your investment returns ahead of inflation, so that you don’t lose purchasing power over time. As you consider drawing on your retirement accounts and your investments to help fund an early retirement, you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor — someone with the expertise and experience to help make sure you’ve got an income stream that’s big enough to support your lifestyle, but not so big that you’d eventually outlive your money. Once you’ve considered all these factors, and gotten the help you need, you’ll be able to make an informed choice as to whether you should accept that early buyout offer — and then your future awaits you.

At some time or another, you’ve probably thought about what you’d like to do during your retirement years. But when will those years begin? You may have some idea in mind about your ideal retirement date, but, as that day approaches, you’ll need to ask yourself: “Can I afford to retire?” During these days of corporate downsizing, this question is not rhetorical. If your employer offered you a severance package to take a voluntary early retirement, should you accept it? Your answer depends on a variety of factors. Most important of all, of course, is whether you still enjoy your job and still like coming to work every day. If so, you’ll be inclined to turn down the offer and continue working. But if you’re eager to move on to the next phase of your life, you might be tempted to accept the buyout package — if you can afford to retire. To make that determination, you’ll need to consider several factors: s 9OUR FAMILY SITUATION If you have children, are they out of college? Whether they are or not, are you still helping support them? How about elderly parents? Do you need to provide them with financial support? You’ll need to know the answers to these questions to help evaluate your need to continue working.

Wesley’s excellent retort

J

ohn Wesley stood tall in the educational circles of his day. On one occasion a man wrote to him as follows, “The Lord has directed me to write to you and tell you that while you know both Greek and Latin, He can do without book ‘larnin.’” Wesley replied, “Your letter received and may I say that it was superfluous, for I already knew that the Lord could do without my book ‘larnin.” While the Lord does not direct me to tell you, yet I wish to say on my own responsibility that the Lord does not need your ignorance either.” Right on, preacher! He needed to hear that. One wonders why some people seem to pride themselves on their ignorance in matters of religion when they do not do so in any other area of life. A healthy and stabilized faith is based on an intelligent approach to religious truth. Faith must be supported by such knowledge as is available. During my freshman year in college I had the occasion during a se-

Sanford man completes 2,200 mile hike of Appalachian Trail By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Appalachian Trail stretches across 14 states, from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Katahdin, Maine. The total length is nearly 2,200 miles. Out of the hundreds of people who set out to hike the entire trail from start to finish each year, only about 25 percent complete it. Sanford resident Jeremy Wilson just became part of that resilient 25 percent. Wilson, 24, began his hike March 9 and finished the fivemonth journey Aug. 6. “It was a pretty nervewracking idea, because I knew I’d be out in the woods for about five months and didn’t know anyone,” Wilson said. Wilson has been backpacking for about five years, but he

Wilson began his hike on March 9 and finished on Aug. 6 first started seriously thinking about hiking the entire Appalachian Trail a year and a half ago. Once he decided he was actually going to do it, he

started working out to build up strength in his legs. But other than obtaining the necessary equipment, Wilson said there isn’t much people can do to

prepare until they are out on the trail. “It was a challenge the first three weeks or so because there was horrible weather and I was still trying to get in shape,” Wilson said. But the further he went, the more Wilson’s endurance grew, and after a couple of months, spring arrived. About 1,400 miles from the end of the trail, Wilson met a few fellow hikers and finished the rest of the trail with them. They dubbed him “Picker” because he traveled with a backpacker guitar, a small acoustic guitar built to withstand rough camping and hiking conditions. “The people I got to meet are friends I’ll have for the rest of my life,” Wilson said. Wilson and his friends had

his being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it may be relevant to discuss the options women now have for hormone replacement therapy. I have a patient who complains of her chronic night sweats and expresses dismay that her attempt at hormone replacement 10 years ago failed her, apparently leaving her without this hormone balancing option. Come to find out, her doctor had most likely over-

dosed her and provided to her a synthetic estrogen her body rejected. She has been sour on the subject of hormone replacement therapy ever since and was not aware that there were other options now available to her. Many women, who want the “bio-identical” hormone therapy they so often hear associated with Suzanne Somers, think they have to go to a compounding pharmacy to get a natural

hips, back, and ankles. The problem is when someone is in pain, they don’t want to move, but moving is actually something that may make things better,” said Widrick. Exercise is important for healthy people as well as those suffering from other diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. Doctors treating these kinds of diseases frequently recommend exercise as part of the treatment plan. The National Institute of Health recommends 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Exercise can help people maintain a healthy weight and even prevent or delay diabetes, some cancers, and heart problems. “As a starting point, we recommend walking and doing it with a partner to increase motivation. As far as how far and how long you should walk, that’s up to the individual, but the goal of 30 minutes is to help maximize your health benefits. But even if you are walking only 5 minutes, at least you’ve started walking,” said Widrick. Widrick said walking has affordability and flexibility in its favor — you don’t have to join a gym to walk, and if the weather isn’t being cooperative, you can always walk indoors at a store or other public place, she pointed out. She said that wearing comfortable, supportive shoes for walking is essential to prevent leg discomfort and maintain stability. The proper shoes size is important, but so is the fit and style. “Your physical therapist or a specialty

Tips to be more active n Plan weekend family activities involving physical activity, such as hiking, swimming, bicycling, mini-golf, tennis, or bowling. n Help your child plan physical activities with friends and neighbors, such as skating or softball. n Have your kids brainstorm a “rainy day” game plan of indoor activities such as fitness games such as Wii Fit or Dance Dance Revolution. n Remember that your family does not need to join a health club or buy fancy equipment to be active. Walking is inexpensive and easy. So is designing a backyard obstacle course. Weights can be made from soda or detergent bottles filled with sand or water! n Provide positive rewards for your child when he or she engages in physical activities, such as workout clothes, a new basketball, or an evening of roller-skating. n Provide positive feedback about your child’s lifestyle changes. Remember not to focus on the scale (for you or your child). n Be your child’s “exercise buddy.” Plan daily walks or bike rides and set goals together for increasing physical activity rather than for losing weight. It’s also great “bonding” time! n As you schedule your child’s extracurricular activities, remember to plan time for exercise and activity as a priority for the entire family. Don’t just “squeeze it in.” n Encourage children to try individualized sports such as tennis and swimming. Studies show such activities are the basis of lifelong fitness habits. n Parents and children can do exercises while watching television (or at least during commercials), such as sit-ups, push-ups or running in place. Discourage snacking or eating meals while watching. Source: American Physical Therapy Association

footwear stores can help you find the right shoe for you,” she said. The second recommendation is exercising at the same day every time. “The biggest thing about exercise is that it should become ingrained in your daily routine. If you’re going to try to ‘fit it in your day,’ you’ll find a way to ‘fit it out’. If it’s a scheduled part of your day, it makes it easier to stick to,” she said. The final recommendation is exercising at a pace where you can still talk but are unable to carry on a regular conversation. “If you’re so short of breath that you can’t talk, you’re work-

ing above a safe level of intensity for your fitness level,” she said. “But if you’re out walking your dog and having a conversation on your cell phone, it isn’t really aerobic exercise. It’s great that you’re out walking, but you’re not getting the full benefit of exercise.” She adds, “If you’re not actively exercising already or if you’re just getting started, remember to get a physician’s clearance before staring an exercise program.

The descendants of Col. Robert Palmer of Scotland and Bath held their annual reunion Sept. 25 at Buckhorn United Methodist Church and the Cape Fear Community Center in Corinth. Relatives came from Virginia, Georgia, New Mexico and all over North Carolina. Oron Allston Palmer of Silver City, New Mexico related some of his childhood memories as a “Military Brat” growing up in California. One of those was being bounced on the knees of General Dwight Eisenhower as a toddler. The musical group, “Jus’ Right,” provided entertainment. Palmer descendants, John Michael Hill and Samuel Hill joined in on several songs. Samuel preferred his own smaller fiddle but did strike a few chords on his geat-great-grandfather’s violin, the same instrument that Charlie Daniels borrowed from Orren A. Palmer when Charlie and Russell Palmer were learning to play as young boys growing up at Gulf.

The fifth grade teacher introduced me to her class, and then said, “He is in college studying for the ministry.” One of the students replied, “I know, but he is not a God-called preacher.” When asked why he had said this, he replied, “Because he goes to school.” Like the man who thought he was directed by God to chastise John Wesley for being educated, he had been taught by his parents that God doesn’t speak through educated preachers.

ship. Josiah did three things that everyone would be wise to imitate. First, he did what was right IN THE SIGHT of the Lord. Most of us attempt to do what is right in our own sight, even though we often fail to do that. This king, however, did what was right in God’s sight. He didn’t look to please himself or those around him; he sought to please the Lord, whose standards are much higher and holier than the most ethical of human ideals. Righteousness is not subject to one’s own

order to have a worthy Christian faith: n That Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. n That the Bible contains God’s truth. n That in one great redemptive act Christ makes redemption possible. n That the Holy Spirit is given to bear witness to Christ and to guide those who believe in Him and are seeking daily to live for Him. n That all Christians everywhere are brothers and sisters in Christ and are members of the body of Christ. n That all truth is God’s truth, wherever it is found. True knowledge does not undermine faith. The mind that understands all it can is the mind that also accepts the things that are beyond understanding. Faith is not mere intellectual assent to facts. It is a bold push forward

upon the basis of those facts. Faith is reason in a courageous mood. It plunges forward; it is daring, dauntless, courageous, and heroic. The true test of faith is what it is willing to venture and to hazard, not orthodoxy. Genuine faith is assuring, insuring, and enduring. It is to the soul what a mainspring is to a watch. It either moves mountains or tunnels through. There are thousands of ways to please God, but not one without faith. Jesus said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you’” (Luke 17:6 NIV). Impossibilities become realities when this kind of faith speaks.

opinion or to a majority vote. It is established by God and He alone determines what is right. Our responsibility is to dig deep into His Word and discover what is true and holy and rely upon Him to enable us to abide by His perfect law. Josiah was commended for doing what was right in God’s sight, not his own. Second, he walked in all the ways of his father David. Josiah had in David a great example of how a king should conduct himself in the affairs of leadership and of life. David wasn’t perfect, far from it, but he was humble and penitent; a man after God’s own heart. King David was a role model

who inspired Josiah to live a godly life. Every believer needs such men and women in his life to guide him and motivate him to a higher standard of living. Parents ought to point their children to great men and women of God and pastors ought to bring sermons on biblical heroes of the faith. We could all use some inspiration from solid role models. Third, he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. King Josiah walked the straight and narrow path that leads to righteousness (Matt. 7:13-14). The only way to walk this path is to keep your focus on the Lord and not become distracted by the things of the world. Focusing on Christ alone is crucial if you would avoid wandering off to the left or right. Even the slightest variance from the narrow way will soon leave you far off the straight path and into the entanglements of sin. The temptations for King Josiah, as for anyone with means and power, were many, yet he kept his eye on the Lord, on the ways of his father David and the truth of God’s word. The Bible speaks, giving us examples of godly living like King Josiah. May more and more of His children do right “in the sight of the Lord.”

hormone cream and pay out-of-pocket for it when, in fact, by a doctor’s prescription, these “bio-available” hormones are already available and covered by most insurance companies. We know through the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study that too much synthetic estrogen (Premarin®, Provera®, Prempro®) may increase the risk of breast cancer. This trial was stopped early because synthetic hormone using test subjects had a higher risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. A hormone matching identically to our own hormone’s molecular structure (bio-identical) appears to be safer. Luckily, you can now find these natural hormone choices from easy-to-apply patches. According to Christianne Northrup, MD, “Pharmaceutical companies cannot apply for a patent on what most women make effortlessly and naturally on a daily basis. On the other hand, unique delivery systems for HRT (such as patches) are patentable, and for this reason options for HRT delivered via transdermal skin patches abound, many of which are bio-identical by design. Examples of those include the FDA-approved Vivelle®, Vivelle Dot®, Estraderm®, Alora®, and Climara®.” Dr. Northrup calls to our attention that the pill, Premarin®, is produced from pregnant mare’s urine, which is where the name comes from and is, she says,

“only natural to those whose food is hay.” The bottom line on this is while you cannot patent a naturally-occurring hormone or substance, which means it has to be “altered,” you can patent a delivery system, such as a patch. I love this and I appreciate the drug companies (Novardis, Berlex, and Proctor and Gamble) that include the safest forms of estrogens within their patch products. My suggestion is to keep your estrogen dosage to a bare minimum and get off of it as soon as possible, due to the potential cancer risks. Although found to relieve many symptoms in the short term, don’t use it like a daily multi-vitamin without the awareness that conclusive long term studies still do not exist on both synthetic and bio-identical hormone replacement. Certainly, however, the invention of the hormone patch provides great flexibility. I specifically like Vivelle Dot patch, where the amount of estrogen is low. Patches can be cut in half to reduce the amount of estrogen, if necessary. However, a pill cannot be cut and therefore we have to take what we get. I always advise and provide saliva testing kits to those wanting to know their hormone

levels in order to know what the safest and lowest effective dose for them might be. When speaking of the safety of estrogen replacement, researchers at Harvard Medical School remind us that, “The delivery method is important. When estrogen is taken as a pill, it is first processed through the liver. This stimulates proteins associated with heart disease and stroke, such as C-reactive protein and clotting factors. When delivered by a patch, estrogen does not go through the liver so it doesn’t have these same harmful effects.” There is still dispute between well-respected groups of doctors and researchers over the prospect that bio-identical (natural) hormone replacement is better than the synthetics. However, this being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, becoming aware of the options and choices for better health and longevity just seems like the natural thing to do.

While patients’ primary goal is to improve their smiles, there are other benefits of orthodontic treatment, the most notable of which is improved occlusion (or bite). Once the teeth and jaws are aligned with one another so that the teeth mesh properly, chewing and swallowing may be improved. In addition, by repositioning teeth that are crowded too close together or otherwise badly aligned, the orthodontist can help ensure reduced susceptibility to decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Orthodontic treatment may also be instrumental in improving speech, based on the fact that about 18 letter sounds require the assistance of the teeth for clear enunciation. At SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS, we use cutting-edge orthodontic technology and techniques to ensure that our patients receive optimal results, with maximum comfort, in the least amount of time. Our entire staff is committed to providing each patient with personalized attention and the best orthodontic care possible. Please call us today at (919) 718-9188 to make an appointment for a free consultation. Our office is located at 1129 Carthage St. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve - a healthy, beautiful one!

President-Elect Charles Morris presided over the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County held at Davison’s Steaks on Sept. 22 at noon.

Eddie Hightower, the Executive Director and Owner of Advanced Behavioral Center, Inc. and the speaker for the day. Hightower told of the step-by-step process used in getting troubled individuals functioning in normal day-to-day settings. This process involves identifying the problem first then helping with the completion of education, finding work, learning to handle diversity, adaptation of skills and rehabilitation. The key ingredient found at Advance Behavioral Center is not only the compassion found there from the staff of professionals but the follow up with these people. For more information on Advanced Behavioral Center, Hightower encouraged coming by the center located at 317 Chatham St. or calling 777-0214. Hightower closed with the following inspirational quote, “Without a vision, people perish.”

San-Lee Sunrise Rotary

President Marcy Santini opened the meeting with the ‘Quote of the Week’: “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” -George Washington. Ed Mishler led the Rotary invocation, and Larry Mintz led the Pledge of Allegiance. In ‘Good News’, Charles Oldham spoke in praise of the SundayMonday rain event and Neal Jensen continues to praise the Army football team who won their third victory of the season against Duke University. Andy Manhardt and Martin Davis praised the Temple Theatre production of ‘Chicago’, and Terry Mullen announced a birthday. Terry stated the birthday number ended in zero but failed to be more specific. In ‘Club News’, there will be no San-Lee Sunrise meeting on Oct. 4, as the membership will be helping with the Lee County Rotary Clubs Memorial Golf Tournament. A volunteer sign up sheet was circulated for the No Scare Fair to be held Oct. 30, at The Stevens Center. President Santini introduced Mike Thomas for a program describing the deer population in North Carolina and the industry that has developed around the hunting and regulation of our four-legged neighbors. In 1900 there were an estimated 10,000 deer in NC, and this population has grown to about one and one half million. Two hundred fifty thousand hunters have created a $311 million hunting economy for our state. The hunter population of our state has grown to the point that most hunters have to rent land to hunt on, and rental fees have increased from one dollar and a half years ago to $15 and more per acre

today. In the late 1970s a wildlife endowment fund was established in NC and now creates a 68 million dollar endowment for wildlife enrichment in NC. Mike described various cover scents used by hunters and the different types of archery equipment now used for hunting. Compound bows and crossbows with up to one hundred fifty pounds of torque can propel an arrow up to 350 feet per second. President Santini led the ‘Four Way Test’.

Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society The Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society met Sept. 25 and toured Edwin Patterson’s Tar Kiln Village. Edwin has moved 13 buildings from Lee, Harnett, Chatham and Wake counties. The majority were built from the late 1700s to early 1800s. He moved the first one, the Huckaby cabin in 1983. There are five cabins or houses, four barns, spring house, two smokehouses and a corn crib. All but one were brought to the site in pieces which he numbered. He used other old wood for replacement parts. The Huckaby cabin belonged to Richard Huckaby who represented Cumberland County in the House of Commons and Senate. Edwin found a flush siding house at Cameron Hill that was built by Alan Cameron in 1796. He moved the log cabin of Archibald Cameron from the Barbecue Creek area which has a mud and stick chimney. A house of sash sawn timbers was about to be destroyed in the Cumnock area. It has a brownstone fireplace and chimney of local stone. A two story house from Chatham County was called the “Quaker House” and was built by Jesse Dixon from Pennsylvania. After a couple of early owners it was bought by Conner Dowd’s son, Sam. It was in bad shape. There is a little animal barn made from juniper. The farmer would have kept a mule on one side and chickens on the other. A barn from the Stevens place in Harnett County is built in the board and batten style and postdates the Civil War. John Harrington built a log barn in 1850 in Harnett County. It is 24x30 and was used as a hay barn. The barn has a cantilevered overhang which was missing when Edwin first saw it. He spotted the holes where

The regular bi-weekly meeting of the Sanford Civitan Club was held Sept. 23 at the Civitan clubhouse on Golf Course Road. There were 12 members present as well as four guests in attendance including the guest speaker. The meeting was opened by president Van Blanton who offered the invocation. Then president-elect Jeremy Watson led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Blanton offered a warm welcome for everyone especially the guests. He then mentioned that member Andy Siegner’s recent surgery went well. The speakers for the evening are associates of Liberty HomeCare and Hospice. Peter Mazzel is bereavement counselor for Liberty and Evelyn Bullard is a volunteer who serves as volunteer coordinator. Mazzel spoke about the mission, programs and facilities at Liberty. He mentioned that Liberty is a full-time nursing facility that also offers in-home care. Its primary purpose as a hospice service provider is to make patients as comfortable as possible. (Hospice patients are generally those medically diagnosed as being near the end of life.) Bullard gave an interesting discussion on the “Five Wishes” program. Five wishes is a living will that a person completes to let people know what their preferences are should they become seriously ill or incapacitated. This document is recognized by 42 states and D.C. and upon signing it replaces previously issued documents as Powers of Attorney and living wills. The Five Wishes document is in booklet form and addresses these issues: Who you would like to make care decisions when you can’t, the kind of medical treatment you do or don’t want, how comfortable you would like to be, how you would like people to treat you and what you would like your loved ones to know. There are many details in the booklet for each of the five areas addressed. The booklet is available from Liberty or from Aging with Dignity, P.O. Box 1661, Tallahassee, Fla. 32302 or www.agingwithdignity.org. There were no committee reports, however a discussion concerning fund raisers ensued. It was agreed that the board of directors would meet soon to study and make recommendations. There were no motions presented for action. The next scheduled meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at the clubhouse and will also be officer installation for 2010-11.

At the September meeting of the Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society, Edwin Patterson gave the group a tour of his Tar Kiln Village, a collection of 13 barns, cabins and other structures, some dating from the 1700s, which he has relocated from four counties and restored over the last 27 years. Pictured in front of the Archibald Cameron cabin, he explains the history of the Cameron family and special featured of the cabin. sponsored jointly by the Jonesboro, San-Lee, and Sanford Rotary Clubs and honoring deceased Rotarians in Lee County and beyond.

An original appropriation of $500,000 has been doubled by Stimulus funds; an extra $54,000 will support a cul de sac. The next great problem is where/how the trail will cross Highway 421. Another exciting possibility is a loop back toward Central Carolina Hospital and a “Medical Village� as a “therapeutic trail. Even now, the trail has traffic; anticipated is much, much more, e.g., bikers, walkers, joggers, dog-walkers. Rotary Members David Nestor and Tom Dossenbach had met with Mr. Bridwell to discuss how the Sanford Rotary can best honor Don Buie with the funds ($21,000 to date) raised by the Rotary Galas in his honor. One possibility is a gazebo at the “trailhead� where those on the trail can rest and refresh themselves before turning back to complete the circuit. At the end of his presentation, Planning Director Bridwell turned to larger issues that are besetting Sanford and Lee County, as well as cities across the country, including Colorado Springs.

economically depressed, an unfortunate accompaniment is a tendency to look backward. Civic clubs, which are incubators for growing the next generations of leaders, have difficulty getting members. We turn in on ourselves, miss opportunities, and shy away from new projects. On the contrary, such moments are exactly when vision must be exerted and expectations high. The recent announcements of funds for improvements in East Sanford and of Stimulus money for a sewer project are cases in point. We need to seek out opportunities, embrace them, and make them ours! Vice President Joy Gilmour thanked the speaker, in whose name a dual-language children’s book will be donated to the Lee County Library. Paul Horton led the Pledge of Allegiance; Ted Lanier, the Four-Way Test. On Oct. 5, Larry Aiken will speak on Rotary’s “Character Counts� program in the Lee County Schools.

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time. After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of “crimpingâ€? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness – and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned. Ammons Chiropractic personnel are consummate professionals, careful, methodical, gentle and absolutely committed to seeking solutions. Judith Edmonds Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions. Why suffer when help may be just a phone call away? Call not for an examination to see if speciďŹ c upper cervical care might beneďŹ t you.

a book with the locations of water and main roads, but sometimes they would overestimate or underestimate how much food they would need along the way. Every five or six days, they crossed a path leading to a main road and hitchhiked into town. Once they found a willing driver, they would buy enough food to last them until the next town. “People were really kind,” Wilson said. “They knew what was going on and knew who we were and just wanted to give us a helping hand.” Sleeping conditions weren’t any more glamorous. Wilson and his friends slept in tents that they would set up each night and pack away each morning. “We were really dirty all the time,” Wilson said. “Every day you had to break down your tent and hike 20 miles a day.” About a week before reaching the end of the trail, Wilson said his group’s excitement was overwhelming. No matter how tired they were, Wilson and his friends couldn’t sleep — they just wanted to get there. It was a long, challenging journey, but Wilson said it was all worthwhile when they finally arrived in Katahdin.

“It’s something you really can’t explain,” Wilson said. “It’s the biggest rush I’ve ever had. I feel like I’ve accomplished something not many people have.” Despite the harsh winds and cold temperatures, Wilson and his friends stayed at the end of the trail for about two hours, marveling at the achievement of completing all 2,200 miles. Wilson’s father also joined him for the last 10 miles of the trail. “You realize how important family and friends are when you’re out there in the woods,” Wilson said. Before hiking the Appalachian Trail, most of Wilson’s backpacking experience was limited to North Carolina, where he hiked through the Smoky Mountains to experience enduring winter weather. He also enjoys kayaking, fishing, mountain biking and playing guitar, and he recently earned his teaching license from East Carolina University. But successfully hiking the Appalachian Trail is an experience Wilson said he will always remember, and he encourages anyone who wants to tackle the trail to go for it. “I’ve seen people out there who were 65, 70 years old,” Wilson said. “Anyone can do it if your head is in it.”
