ELECTIONEERING GETS UGLY

Lee County Board of Elections calls special meeting for Tuesday to discuss rising complaints about voter harassment at the polls

By BILLY LIGGETT bliggett@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Voters being harassed at the polls, candidate supporters crossing the boundaries near the election sites and accusations of vote buying in Lee County have led

to a special called meeting of the Board of Elections. And we’re only in the early voting phase. BOE Director Nancy Kimble announced Friday that the board will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday to “discuss what will be expected for electioneering.”

Kimble would not go into specifics about what she called “several complaints” made to the board since early voting began on Oct. 14, but she did say people have been accused of “overstepping the bounds

concept of tough love. “Sometimes the belief is ’if I just loved them enough, it would solve the problem,’” Horne said. “Loving somebody is not the problem — it’s how to love them.” Before Thursday, some in his audience were not familiar with the concept of co-dependency, and others were not sure if it applied to them. As loved ones of someone with a drug or alcohol problem, however, everyone in the audience had common ground. The evening was the second in Horne’s four-part family support ministry at Grace Chapel, which covers addictions, co-dependency, Christian recovery and the recovering family. The Reverend

SANFORD — At the start of the school year, a woman approached Johnnye Waller, Lee County Schools’ director of student resources, with a problem. She had lost her job, and it looked like the family would have to give up their permanent home. She was afraid her son would have to switch schools, and she wanted to keep him in his current school, a comfortable and familiar place. She wasn’t sure what she should do, but Waller offered a solution. The family qualified for assistance from Lee County Schools under the McKinney-Vento Act, which ensures that children the law defines as homeless have access to public education. While the family was without a permanent residence of their own, the woman’s son could stay in his original school. The school could provide him with free transportation. Waller assured her the district would support them and make sure her son could continue his education. “She was overwhelmed with her situation, and to find out we could help her child was just a relief for her,” Waller said. Waller is the homeless

Almanac Today is Sunday, Oct. 24, the 297th day of 2010. There are 68 days left in the year. This day in history: On Oct. 24, 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect. (On this date in 1949, construction began on U.N. headquarters in New York.) In 1537, Jane Seymour, the third wife of England’s King Henry VIII, died 12 days after giving birth to Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire. In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent as Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California transmitted a telegram to President Abraham Lincoln. In 1931, the George Washington Bridge, connecting New York and New Jersey, was officially dedicated (it opened to traffic the next day). In 1939, Benny Goodman and his orchestra recorded their signature theme, “Let’s Dance,” for Columbia Records in New York. Nylon stockings were sold publicly for the first time, in Wilmington, Del. In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In 1952, Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in Detroit, “I shall go to Korea” as he promised to end the conflict. (He made the visit over a month later.)

Exchange Club literature on mental health was shown by Eugene Johnson, club president (second from left). Looking on were (left to right) Dr. Jack C. Robertson of the Lee Health Department; Dr. Hayden Lutterloh Jr., chairman of the club’s mental health committee; and Dr. N.R. Carter Jr., assistant district health officer.

Sheriff discusses endorsements of local Democrats SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Originally happy to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of their ownâ&#x20AC;? in office, many Lee County Republicans have expressed disappointment with Sheriff Tracy Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent endorsements of local Democrats in state and county races. Recently, Carter appeared in a newspaper ad with Democratic commissioner candidate Butch Johnson, and this week, he publicly announced his endorsement of Democrat Jimmy Love Sr. in the race for North Carolina House District 51. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican chairman says Carter is baffling even his fellow Republican sheriffs statewide with his public endorsements. Carter, meanwhile, says his decisions have nothing to do with politics, but rather his desire to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for public safety in Lee County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand (Republicans) want a majority in the state house,â&#x20AC;? Carter said in an interview with The Herald Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my responsibility to make that happen. My responsibility is to serve

MONDAY

Developers against proposed cul-de-sac regulations SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some local developers are up in arms over a firefighter-recommended ordinance overhaul that would force wider cul-de-sacs in Lee County. Lee County commissioners heard from a pair of developers Monday, both expressing reservations about a plan to direct builders to add 5 feet to the radius and right-of-way requirements for cul-de-sacs. The proposal stems from city and county fire officials who worried that the width of the neighborhood fixtures could pose a maneuvering problem for the largest fire trucks, said Sanford Assistant Planning Director Marshall Downey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current design is simply very tight,â&#x20AC;? Downey said.

MONDAY

Senator makes a surprise campaign stop in Sanford SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Sen. Richard Burr made a surprise stop in Sanford Monday in the midst of his campaign for re-election, walking the downtown streets and making an appearance at the county GOP headquarters on Moore Street. The Republican incumbent said he is touring dozens of towns this week along with his wife, part of a tradition the incumbent senator touts of pounding the streets to encourage voters once the polls are open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get in the car and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell anybody where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

going,â&#x20AC;? Burr said. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s itinerary included Sanford, Southern Pines and Siler City, with the GOP senator taking the opportunity to reinforce his calls for cuts in the federal budget while throwing barbs at Washington leadership and his Democratic opponent, current N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like the direction weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not your candidate,â&#x20AC;? Burr said.

TUESDAY

Sanford residents plead for pipeline extension approval

FRIDAY SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A group of northwest Sanford residents pleaded Tuesday with members of the City Council to approve a pipeline extension that would bring service to a number of water-starved occupants. The project would extend 4,000 linear feet of a waterline down North Plank Road, affecting some 32 property owners, city engineers said at the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting at the Sanford Municipal Center. Residents said they have been plagued by dry and collapsed wells that have made it a necessity to bring in water from other sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without someone to haul water, I would have no water at all,â&#x20AC;? said Kimberly Jones, a resident at 530 N.

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lee County has the 20th highest teen pregnancy rate among North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 counties, but its numbers dropped considerably from 2008 to 2009, according to a report from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Lee ranked eighth in the state in the state in 2008 with a rate of 90.8 pregnancies per 1,000 girls ages 15-19. The numbers for 2009 show a considerable drop to 72.1. The 2009 pregnancy rate among black teens in Lee County was consistent with the 2008 rate, but rates among white teens and Hispanic teens dropped. The new numbers are good news to Brittany McBryde, adolescent pregnancy prevention program coordinator at the Lee County Coalition for Families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see that the trend is going down in the county,â&#x20AC;? McBryde said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful that the opportunity of working with other agencies has led to the numbers falling.â&#x20AC;? Statewide, the teen pregnancy rate in North Carolina dropped 4.4 percent in 2009 from 58.6 to 56. The 2009 rate is a record low for the state.

JUBI-LEE IN DOWNTOWN SANFORD

Stimulus to help fund courthouse rebuilding project PITTSBORO (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chatham County will borrow $25 million from the federal government to build a new judicial center to replace the historic courthouse that burned in March. The county commissioners also plan to rebuild the old courthouse in the middle of the traffic circle in downtown Pittsboro. A replica of the original second-floor courtroom will provide overflow space for Superior Court cases from the new courthouse. Functions such as the district attorney, probation and Chatham County Historical Association have been relocated to temporary facilities in Chatham and Orange counties over the past few months. The new facility will house these offices and provide new space for grand-jury hearings, district and superior court proceedings. Commissioners have decided to restore the old courthouse but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided how to use it. A task force they appointed has recommended it for public

It must be paid back over 40 years at a 4-percent interest-rate. Congressmen David Price and Bob Etheridge, who sit on the House Appropriations and Budget committees, respectively, will announce the funding at an event outside the old courthouse Friday afternoon. Last fiscal year, the Rural Development program loaned $5.7 billion for utilities, housing, business development and public facilities in rural communities across the United States. Of that, $2 billion went to public facilities like the judicial center, so the Chatham project represents a significant chunk of what the program lends out.

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

Endorsement: Love for N.C. House, District 51 N. C. HOUSE DISTRICT 51 (TWO-YEAR TERM) ❏ Candidates: Incumbent Jimmy Love Sr. (Democrat), Challenger Mike Stone (Republican) ❏ Our endorsement: Love

t’s a tough time to be a legislator in Raleigh. If you’re not under investigation, you’re being bombarded with questions about a surge of ne’er-do-well political behavior that has us looking more like Illinois or Louisiana than North Carolina. Sessions are longer and more fraught with turmoil as the inevitable rush to pass a balanced budget leads to more state mandates and fewer resources to support them. It’s also a tough time to be a

resident of North Carolina. High unemployment and a heavy tax burden accompany the other uncertainties of living here, and Raleigh doesn’t seem to be helping out much. Our legislative system faces a tough row, especially in the coming “long” session. There are few guarantees in life, and one you can bank on is that the problems we have won’t be solved in the next two years. But sending Jimmy Love Sr. back gives us the best chance to make gains instead of losses. Love understands that for every vote — for every legislative action — there’s a reaction that reaches across the state and potentially impacts millions. His legislative experience (seven terms, total)

allows him to trace the impact and gauge how it will affect the district, which encompasses Lee and Harnett counties. If Love’s been there so much (including the last two terms), isn’t he part of the problem? Well, much of the criticisms leveled at Love, particularly by the Republican Party and Love’s opponent, Sanford City Councilman Mike Stone, are misguided. Our system is broken, not Love. There are flaws in Love’s voting record, but a reasonable look at many of the bills Love has supported yields reasonableness, and attacks on his record are curious at best. Republicans hammer Love, for example, for voting for the $25 million “Jennette’s Pier” built

in Nags Head (complete with a 16,000-square-foot “country club” pier house). What they fail to mention is that the measure to pay for the pier passed unanimously in the House — Love, his fellow Democrats and Republicans alike supported it. They claim he supported another measure to “free” death-row inmates, but in fact all the legislation did was give the state power to reduce sentencing for someone whose conviction was tied to race. Stone has stood firm on taxes in his seat on the Sanford City Council, but there are questions about his record as well, including votes he has (and hasn’t) made. He’s idealistic about how he might change things in Raleigh, but the

idealism is better suited for city council, where Stone has more to prove and much more to accomplish before he’s ready to “move up” politically.” The bottom line is that Jimmy Love Sr. can’t be blamed for the concentration of power in Raleigh, power which has proven to corrupt and guide so many legislators to favor self-interest over altruistic service. He may not have the ability to solve all problems, but Mike Stone isn’t the elixir. With a critical long session ahead beginning after the New Year for the General Assembly, and Raleigh set to serve as the home-away-from-home for such a dysfunctional lot, Love should get two more years to help set things straight.

Letters to the Editor

Letters to the Editor Attacks against Love are unfounded, ludicrous

Candidate was ineffective as school board member

To the Editor:

I guess it’s always been in politics that when you can’t think of anything good to say about your candidate, you try to come up with something bad to say about the other guy. I am a registered independent, so I guess I can say something bad about either of the political parties ... and there is plenty of bad to say. But when the North Carolina Republican Executive Committee pictures side-by-side on the same mailer and suggests that “Hanoi” Jane Fonda and Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. are of the same character, that is just plain ludicrous. They should be ashamed. And in the same mailer to state, “Politician Jimmy Love voted for huge tax breaks for liberal Hollywood elitists” is equally ludicrous. Ask yourself — why would Love do that? If in some legislation, a tax break was voted for the movie industry, which brings hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs to North Carolina, and it benefited some Hollywood “elites,” then they were giving up something in order to receive something. It must have been in the best interest of North Carolina, because that is the way Jimmy Love works. And in their second mailer, they imply that Jimmy Love would help get convicted killers out of prison. That’s so stupid, I won’t even dignify it with an answer. Again, if you can’t come up with something good to say about your man, then say something bad about theirs. In a desperate effort to elect a totally unqualified and actually incompetent candidate to a very important office in these times, the North Carolina Republican Committee has sunk to a new low.

In the Oct. 12 edition of The Herald, I was reviewing the Q&As from candidates Linda Shook and Mike Womble (Lee County commissioner, District 3). Each candidate provided clear-cut, understandable answers. I then glanced at the candidate’s bios. In reviewing the offices held for Mr. Womble, I noted that he had two four-year terms on the Lee County Board of Education. He stated that he had been the chairman of the Building, Grounds and Finance Committee. With the recent fervor over and the issuance of a special bond for several million dollars to “fix” the deteriorating Lee County High School, perhaps Mr. Womble should have deleted that listing. As I understood, the proponents of the bond (which I voted against, by the way), the problems had gone on for many years and were never fixed. Womble was the committee chairman in charge of the “building” and the “finance,” and the high school was allowed to deteriorate. That doesn’t speak well for his ability to hold a commissioner’s position. I am not in District 3. But I would certainly not vote for Mr. Womble

Mailers an insult to voters To the Editor: When I collected my mail today, I found two anti-Jimmy Love postcards, giant sized and dripping with poison. I am urging every voter who received these insulting pieces of fiction to do as I am doing — rip them into small pieces, put them in an envelope and return them to the N.C. Republican Executive Committee who created this excrement. Then go out and vote for Jimmy Love. IRENE SMITH Sanford

Baseball rediscovered U ntil this past month, the magic of baseball had been lost on me. It was a game I began playing at age 5 — my first team was called The A-Team (after the popular show, of course), and our uniforms consisted of a red shirt, black lettering and blue jeans we brought from home. I played at every level growing up, all the way through high school varsity, where they stuck me at third base because despite my size, I had a heck of an arm. It didn’t stop there. In college, I played intramural softball for four years. After college, I was in a softball league in Dallas, where those I played against took the game entirely too seriously. And through it all, I was a fan of the big leagues. Born less than an hour from Pittsburgh, Pa., I was a Pirates fan from Day 1. When I moved to Texas in my youth, I became a fan of the Texas Rangers. Pirates and Rangers. Up until a month ago, you could see why the magic of baseball had been lost on me. The last time I truly cared about a Major League Baseball postseason game was Game 7 of the National League Championship series between the Pirates and the Atlanta Braves. My dreams of a World Series team were dashed when Francisco Cabrera singled to left field, and the turtle-slow Sid Bream scored from second, beating out the throw from a guy named Barry Bonds. Yeah, THAT guy. That was 1992. The Pirates haven’t had a winning season since. And the Rangers? Talk about futility. The Texas Rangers (until Friday night) were one of three Major League franchises to have reached a World Series. And unlike the Seattle Mariners and the Montreal Expos/ Washington Nationals (the other two franchises never to have tasted the Fall Classic), Texas has been around for 50 years (the first few years as the Washington Senators). Even the Pirates can point to the 70s and the rings from the era. Being a Rangers fan has never been easy. Until this year, we had three trips to the postseason, and as luck would have it, all three times the Yankees ended our season. We had some of the games greatest hitters — Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro, Pudge Rodriguez, Alex Rodriguez, Julio Franco ... the list goes on. We also witnessed a few Nolan Ryan nohitters at the tail end of his career. But no matter the line-up, the Rangers have always been baseball’s whipping boy. I remember games at the old Arlington Stadium where my butt wouldn’t get sore from the metal bleachers not much different than those you’d find at the ballfields in Broadway. And when the new, beautiful Ballpark came into the picture during my senior year of high school (1994), the product on the field never quite lived up to expectations. Because of the futility of my favorite teams, baseball fell further and further from my sports radar over the years after

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com high school. It didn’t help that in the early to mid-90s, the Dallas Cowboys were No. 1 with three Super Bowls. Baseball as a whole took a hit with the strike in the 90s (and the steroid era that followed), and eventually, I began caring less about the sport than even the NBA. It was like a broken record — the Pirates would be eliminated from postseason contention by June, and the Rangers by late July. I hate to sound like a bandwagon fan (I’ve been loyal through it all, just not as interested), but having my Rangers in the postseason again have not only revived my interest in them, but baseball as a whole. And I’ll be darned if baseball isn’t a pretty great sport. When it’s your team’s season on the line, every pitch means something. And these Rangers are an exciting team that isn’t afraid to challenge on the basepaths, can swing for the fences as easily as it squeezes a bunt and for the first time in as long as I can remember ... can pitch. I suppose this column would go over much better back in Texas, but North Carolinians have a stake in the upcoming series thanks to ALCS MVP Josh Hamilton. The Raleigh native whose plight and rise is one for a Hollywood script has won over baseball fans in every state. He’s the catalyst behind this Rangers team, and I’m pulling for him just as much as I am the team. So how about it, Tar Heels. I’ve backed your colleges (except when they play LSU), and it’s not like you have a baseball team (except for all you Yankees fans who moved here ... ha!). Join me in putting on the antlers and showing your claws (I’m not explaining that) and root for the Rangers. You may begin to appreciate baseball again, too. ❏❏❏ For those of you baffled at my attempt to grow facial hair this week, please bear with me. It’s for Halloween. I’m horrible at facial hair, and a week and a half into this current “experiment,” I look like a hobo. On Nov. 1, it’s back to clean-shaven me. The itching and the odd stares will then go away.

Sheriff has public’s best interests in mind To the Editor: As a child many years ago, I grew up admiring and watching a number of police shows. Ah yes ... “Dragnet” with Jack Webb or “Hawaii Five-O” with Jack Lord. Later those shows evolved into the likes of “CSI,” “Castle” and others. I could name them all and those wonderful actors who made those shows oh-so great. It was great drama catching those crooks or misfits of society. What impressed my young mind then and now was the concept that each show was built upon. What could that be? Why, of course, “to protect and serve.” How many police cars have you seen with this motto painted on its doors? Many. The foundation of a civilization depends upon its many dedicated men and women who keep us safe from crime. But here’s the rub — all of these years, I never once saw where it had to be a Republican or Democrat to be a sheriff or another police officer. In this capacity speaking for myself and I am sure many others here in Lee County, we want the best of the best to serve as sheriff. Tracy Carter, in my opinion, is that individual. So what if he supports two Democrats? Is he abandoning his principles? I, for one, say a resounding “no!” He may be a Republican, but was elected by the many voters of Lee County ... many not of that party. Tracy knows who put him in office, but he also wants to support the “best of the best.” The bottom line is that Tracy Carter is true “to protect and serve.” And as a voter, I like that. Vote for the best person qualified to serve our county. In my opinion, later history will show that not only is Tracy Carter tough on crime but also dedicated to the public safety of the people of Lee County. Could anyone ask for more? I salute a champion of the people who does not toe the party line. For myself, this is a big “thumbs up.”

Women on the verge

“T

here is nothing more painful to me at this stage of my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery — then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Rev. Jesse Jackson, speaking at the PUSH convention in 1993. “(W)hen I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.” Juan Williams, on Bill O’Reilly’s show, for which he was fired. I wish I didn’t get nervous seeing black men behind me on the street. I wish there was no correlation between race and crime. I wish 100 percent of the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 had not been members of one religion. I wish we didn’t hear diatribes on a daily basis threatening our children and us in the name of Allah. I wish I didn’t get nervous seeing Muslims on a plane. But firing Juan Williams won’t make it so. What exactly was he fired for? According to National Public Radio, “His remarks on “The O’Reilly Factor” this past Monday were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.” Come again? I’ve known Juan for decades. He is not a bigot. He went on to warn O’Reilly against blaming all Muslims for the actions of extremists, just as all Christians should not be blamed for the likes of Timothy McVeigh or all Catholics for the death of Dr. George Tiller or all Jews for the death of Prime Minister Rabin. Is it really inconsistent with “editorial standards and practices” for a “news analyst” to honestly express his opinions on another network? Or was it because it was Fox News? Juan and I have been contributors to Fox News for more than a decade. We’re part of the “balance” in “fair and balanced.” I’ve taken heat for it from my Democratic friends, and he’s taken heat from others at NPR. My answer — and I expect his, as well — is that because of the strong conservative voices heard on Fox, it is all the more important for there to be strong voices expressing other views. You could certainly make a case that reporters should stick to reporting and not cross the line between reporting the news and expressing opinions about it. But that line gets crossed every Sunday morning and most days in between. Besides, Juan’s title at NPR was “analyst.” On O’Reilly’s show, he was clearly expressing an opinion — one shared, painfully, by many people. Others are free to disagree, on both Fox News and NPR. But to fire an analyst for expressing an honest opinion violates the very principles of free expression and the First Amendment on which NPR so often prides itself. I have no doubt that Juan will be just fine. I’m sure there will be plenty of room for him at Fox. I’m sure conservatives will rush to make him their hero and use his firing as a weapon with which to attack NPR. As an NPR listener, that saddens me. Public radio doesn’t have to be politically correct radio. NPR does many wonderful things. This was not one of them. I fear that in the end, NPR — and its listeners — will pay the price.

Socialists, communists

ne of the greatest sources of confusion and deception is the difference between leftists, progressives, socialists, communists and fascists. I thought about this as I caught a glimpse of the Oct. 2 “One Nation” march on Washington. The participants proudly marched with banners, signs and placards reading “Socialists,” “Ohio U Democratic Socialists,” “International Socialists Organization,” “Socialist Party USA,” “Build A Socialist Alternative” and other signs expressing support for socialism and communism. They had stands where they sold booklets under the titles of “Marxism and the State,” “Communist Manifesto,” “Four Marxist Classics,” “The Road to Socialism” and similar titles. The gathering had the support of the AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union, stalwarts of the Democratic Party such as Al Sharpton and organizations such as the NAACP, the National Council of La Raza, Green for All, the Sierra Club, and the Children’s Defense Fund. What goes unappreciated is that socialists and communists have produced the greatest evil in mankind’s history. You say, “Williams, what in the world are you talking about? Socialists, communists and their fellow travelers care about the little guy in his struggle for a fair shake! They’re trying to promote social justice.” Let’s look at some of the history of socialism and communism. Nazism is a form of socialism. In fact, Nazi stands for National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Nazis murdered 20 million of their own people and in nations they captured. The unspeakable acts of Adolf Hitler’s Socialist Workers’ Party pale in comparison to the horrors committed in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Between 1917 and 1987, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and their successors murdered, or were otherwise responsible for the deaths of, 62 million of their own people. Between 1949 and 1987, Mao Tse-tung and his successors were responsible for the deaths of 76 million Chinese. The most authoritative tally of history’s most murderous regimes is in a book by University of Hawaii’s Professor Rudolph J. Rummel, “Death by Government.”... You say, “Williams, isn’t it a bit unfair to lump the “One Nation” communists, socialists and their supporters with mass murderers such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung? After all, they expressed no such murderous goal.” When Hitler, Stalin and Mao were

campaigning for political power, you can bet they didn’t campaign on the promise to murder millions of their own people, and probably the thought of doing so never crossed their minds. Those horrors were simply the end result of long evolution of ideas leading to consolidation of power in central government in the quest for “social justice.” It was decent but misguided earlier generations of Germans, Russians and Chinese, like many of today’s Americans, who would have cringed at the thought of genocide, who built the Trojan horse for a Hitler, a Stalin or Mao to take over. But as Voltaire said, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” While America’s leftists, socialists and communists condemn Hitler, they give the world’s most horrible murderers a pass. First, they make a false distinction between fascism, communism and socialism but more importantly, they sympathize with the socioeconomic goals of communism and socialism. The primary goal of communism and socialism is government ownership or control over the means of production. In the U.S., only a few people call for outright government ownership of the means of production. They might have learned that government ownership would mess things up. Instead, they’ve increasingly called for quasi-ownership through various forms of government regulation, oversight, taxation and subsidies. After all, if someone has the power to tell you how you may use your property, it’s tantamount to his owing it. I believe most Americans find the ideals and principles of socialism, communism and progressivism repugnant, but by our sanctioning greater government centralization and its control over our lives, we become their dupes or, as Lenin said, “useful idiots.”

EW YORK — Fair is foul, and foul is fair. There’s something witchy in the air. Perhaps ëtis the season, but womankind is suffering a froth of frivolity. “I am not a witch,” insists Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell in an ad that forever will provide the exclamation point on a bewildering political season. Not since Salem have we witnessed such witchification of women who dared stray from the cauldron of the sisterhood. Now, we hear, female candidates aren’t witches after all. Too rhymey with the B-word in these enlightened times. They’re “Mean Girls,” says professional provocateuress Maureen Dowd in The New York Times — “grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant. “These women — Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine — have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust. ... Whether they’re mistreating the help or belittling the president’s manhood, making snide comments about a rival’s hair or ripping an opponent for spending money on a men’s fashion show, the Mean Girls have replaced Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold. They are the ideal nihilistic cheerleaders for an angry electorate.” ... As for the other “Mean Girls,” the focus on “womanly” habits seems a little off, as well as way off a more important point. First, though California senatorial candidate Carly Fiorina did say something about her opponent Barbara Boxer’s hair (not realizing her mic was still on), the remark is hardly the defining entry on Fiorina’s resume, which includes former head of Hewlett-Packard. Dumb comment? You betcha. We’re all living and learning to keep our thoughts to ourselves — to the great detriment of spontaneity and the uncertain future of banter. As for Meg Whitman, the former CEO and president of eBay now running for California governor, she is hardly a catty character who puts one in mind of “she’s pregnant” gossip. Do some of the women running on the GOP ticket make us cringe with embarrassment? Let me answer that question with a 2007 quote from O’Donnell: “American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains.” ... O’Donnell, who made the comment on “The O’Reilly Factor,” probably was thinking about a 2005 report about scientists implanting human cells into mice to demonstrate that human brain cells can be created from stem cells. Alas, it is not the first time a political candidate has become befuddled by facts beyond their ken. To which fact one hastily adds: Female and male. The point missed — or avoided — by Dowd is that men and women can be equally dumbfounded and equally “mean,” if in sometimes gender-tilted ways. What is gratifying about this season is that we have enough women running that we can criticize them without resorting to the old catfight canard. Some women, just like some men, are simply unqualified and should be “refudiated” on their merits or the lack thereof. That Queen Bee Sarah has led the hive of busy benefactors, meanwhile, should be cause for a celebration of sorts — and would be if the brewing brood were Democrats. Why, a swell of liberal women threatening to take over the Congress with tough, manhoodwithering talk would have the sisterhood in cackles. Once upon a time, Dowd and I were appearing together on “The Chris Matthews Show” to discuss Dowd’s book “Are Men Necessary?” In the green room, I remember telling her: “We have more in common with each other than with them (the men and others who would relish our disagreement). They obviously want a catfight. Let’s deny them.” And so we did. It is a testament to feminism that we have so many female candidates. That we may dislike or disagree with some — or find them foolish — is as the world turns. Sisterhood means letting women be just as dumb — and mean — as men.

of the buffer zone” at election sites. “I wouldn’t call what they’re doing ‘harassment,’” Kimble said, “but I do know voters don’t like being yelled at.” She said chairman and party officials from both the local Republican and Democratic parties have been invited to attend the meeting. Both party chairmen say they’ve heard complaints about their opposing parties. Lee County’s chairman of the Democratic Party Ty Stumpf said he’s heard instances of Republicans

“being aggressive” with voters voters outside of the early voting sites and not identifying themselves as Republicans in the process. “They’re calling themselves conservatives or part of the ‘Pro-American’ party,” Stumpf said. “Regardless, I hope people feel comfortable, safe and encourage to vote. They shouldn’t feel harassed or be confronted when going to the polls.” A woman who asked not to have her name released told The Herald Friday she was told by a man outside of the downtown early voting site to come back and vote another time because “the line was too long” when

she identified herself as a Democrat. Republican Party Chairman Linda Shook claims there was a violation of a Democratic voting judge at the McSwain voting center when he attempted to move the party’s greeters to the back of the parking lot. Shook also alleged Saturday that voters have come to her claiming to have been paid for mailing in an absentee ballot with Democrats marked. Both Stumpf and Shook said they will not be present at Tuesday’s meeting, but the Democrats will be represented by party vice chairman Robert Reives II while the Republicans will be represented by vice chairman Charles Staley.

CIS, LCS set up Kids Voting booths SANFORD — Voters may have to be 18 years old for their ballots to count, but that doesn’t mean younger politically-minded people can’t express their opinions. Kids in grades K-12 can share which candidates they think should hold office through Kids Voting. A partnership among Kids Voting N.C., Communities in Schools and Lee County Schools, Kids Voting is open in Lee County now through Election Day on Nov. 2, albeit with a few changes from years past. Kids will now vote online rather than going to Kids Voting booths at Lee County polling locations. “I think the kids have really enjoyed it in the past,” said Nancy Kimble, director of the Lee County Board of Elections. “It ingrains into a child that voting is very important. They could go with their parents and see how they vote.” But this year, kids in more than 20 North Carolina counties will be voting from the comfort of their homes or classrooms rather than accompanying their parents to the polls on Election Day. Daintry O’Brien, executive director of Kids Voting N.C., said the organization decided to offer the online option because Early Voting has taken a hit on Kids Voting participation. “With people having the opportunity to vote early, they’re going on lunch breaks or before they get home and they can’t bring their kids,” said Heather Little, executive director of Communities in Schools of Lee County. — by Alexa Milan

and his wife, Sharon, established his non-profit DBR Ministries in 2002 to facilitate Christian recovery, and they established their local Lighthouse Ministries in 2008. In July of that year, the Lighthouse Fellowship Home opened in Sanford as a sober living environment where residents can attend church, work, follow a recovery program and maintain a clean lifestyle. The ministry also offers support groups for addiction recovery and co-dependency. Horne recently felt compelled to expand his ministry to parents, wives and family members of someone with a drug or alcohol problem. In June alone, he took more than 20 calls from loved ones in crisis “who did not know what to do.” The calls continued into August. “During this summer, the need for a family support group became very evident ...,” Horne said, “It became apparent we needed to do more than have a 12-step group for people with 12-step issues” His four-part series debuted this month, and Horne said his goal is to provide help and guidance through a church that wants to “love like Jesus.” Grace Pastor Rudy Holland said his church is trying to send a message with these ministries — letting the community know that there is a safe haven and a place they can find acceptance. The program is “very necessary,” he added, because people find themselves in this predicament and become lost. “It will give them some measure of direction,” Holland said. “It lets them know they’re not alone; there’s a support system they can reference. Drug addiction doesn’t have to be the end.” Before her husband, Steve D., gave testimony during Grace’s “Recovery Sunday” in September, church member Angie D. feared judgment from her congregation. Since Steve‘s struggle with addiction has come to light, she said, “We’ve been embraced with love, support and reassurance,” “Other people have traveled on the same

road we’re on,” Angie said, “and the program gives us hope that there is recovery.” Steve became reliant on prescription pain killers after a serious illness, and he has now been sober for seven months. He and his wife did not recognize the problem for what it was until it had taken over. “When life beats you down, you’re susceptible to fall into things,” he said. “Addiction grabbed hold and took me places I never wanted to go and kept me longer than I wanted to stay.” Sharon B. comes to the family support group in search of answers — and to help others avert tragedy. In March, she lost her 20-year-old son unexpectedly. “When they’re not really in a drug lifestyle, you don’t know what to look for, you don’t know how to react to things,” she said. Sharon added that involvement in Grace’s program “has helped a lot in my healing.” “It’s helped me to be able to reach out to other families who are struggling with kids who have drug issues,” she said. Relatives referred Bobby C., a recovering addict, to Horne’s ministry, and he has now been sober for five months. The 25-year-old has been incarcerated 15 times and almost lost his life four times to overdoses. The biggest misconception people have about addicts, he said, is that “we can stop if we really wanted to, that it was just as simple as ’don’t do it.’” “I knew that on my own, I would do the same things I always did,” Bobby acknowledged. “Through these people here, I’ve developed a relationship with God, and it’s kept me sober.” Horne has been writing his own curriculum for Christian recovery for more than 20 years, and he has been invited to speak throughout the United States and abroad. In his classes, he uses a combination of music, scriptural insights and his own experiences to make the concepts understandable. “Our motto is, ‘You are not alone, you are not the only one,’” Horne said. “We can help.’” The recovery ministry meets every Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in room 204 of Grace Chapel Church, 2605 Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. 1), and child care is provided. The group is ongoing, and anyone can join at any time. For more information, call 919-478-6237, or e-mail dbrministries@ yahoo.com.

education liaison for Lee County, and that family is one of many she and the district support every year. In the 2009-2010 school year, Lee County Schools had about 200 students that fit the McKinney-Vento Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of homeless, or what the district refers to as families in transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay in transition all year,â&#x20AC;? Waller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This population is always changing.â&#x20AC;? People eligible for support from the schools arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to those who temporarily live in shelters or sleep on park benches. The law defines homeless children and youth as those lacking â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.â&#x20AC;? This includes people who live in motels or hotels, are awaiting foster care placement or are temporarily staying with friends or relatives, in addition to those who stay in shelters and public places. The family may have lost their home in a disaster or parents may have lost their jobs. Regardless of the situation, the schools aim to meet the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Primarily what we do is try to keep their educational experience as stable and consistent as possible,â&#x20AC;? Waller said. Throughout the state, schools supported nearly 19,000 students from families in transition in the 2009-2010 year. The North Carolina Homeless Education Program works with the districts statewide to ensure the McKinney-Vento Act is being implemented. The program is currently working closely with Lee County to provide technical assistance and training. Lisa Phillips, state coordinator for homeless education, said a community training event will be offered in Lee County within the next month or so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lee County is wonderful at doing everything they possibly can to meet the needs of homeless children and youth,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. In addition to Wallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as liaison, the district also has five social workers in the schools who help identify families in transition. Waller said the schools have seen an increase in qualifying families in the past year because of the recession. She said she hopes the fact that more people are being affected will break through any negative stereotypes associated with homelessness. Sometimes, she said, people find themselves in difficult, unavoidable situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone could have worked all their life and just lost their job,â&#x20AC;? Waller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want the best for their children.â&#x20AC;? By providing students from families in transition with transportation, free/reduced lunch and access to their original school, Waller said they benefit from having a familiar routine no matter how challenging their home life might be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stability of school does bring them some structure, safety and encouragement in their lives,â&#x20AC;? Waller said. Though she deals with hundreds of families, Waller said each one affects her. She said it can be difficult knowing that when those children

McKINNEY-VENTO ACT The McKinney-Vento Act ensures that homeless children have access to public education. The law defines homeless children as lacking a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.â&#x20AC;? This can include: â?? Temporarily living in a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home because they have lost their own home through a disaster, economic hardship or other reasons â?? Living in a motel, hotel, trailer park or camping ground â?? Living in a shelter â?? Have been abandoned at a hospital â?? Are awaiting foster care placement â?? Sleeping in a public or private place that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ordinarily be used for sleeping accommodations â?? Living in cars, parks, bus stations, etc.

leave school every day, they are returning to such hardship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everyone in the Lee County system cares so much about the students,â&#x20AC;? Waller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You do get attached to them and want to protect them. They can pull on your heartstrings.â&#x20AC;? The schools also often work with community organizations such as the United Way to help their families in transition. Sanford resident Bob Hughes works to help the homeless in Lee County through the Christians United Outreach Center. In researching who makes up the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless population, Hughes said the group determined homeless

families are one of the fastest-growing segments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen during these economic times through the CUOC and other organizations a number of homeless families coming through,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that number is increasing.â&#x20AC;?

Hughes and the CUOC are preparing for a community-wide meeting Nov. 16 to discuss homelessness in Lee County and how the community can help. Joining them will be a representative from the Interfaith Hospitality Network, a national organization that fosters partnerships among community congregations with the goal of helping homeless families get back on their feet. According to the Interfaith Hospitality Network, families now make up 40 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless population, and one in four homeless people is a child. Hughes said he thinks assistance from the schools is crucial, because a good education means a better chance of returning to a stable lifestyle.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything we can do to keep youth in the schools and keep them educated, society will be better off,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of problems emanate from the fact that a lot of people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trained to find jobs in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world.â&#x20AC;? Phillips said the NCHEP wants everyone to succeed, no matter where they are from or what their circumstances are. She said it is critical to encourage students from families in transi-

tion to stay in school because everyone has a right to an education, even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place to call home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is for these children, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a challenge for them to go to school every day,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more resources we can provide to them and the more we can support them, we might have the opportunity to help a family get back on track.â&#x20AC;?

Tally advances to state tourney

ARMED AND READY

By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

BURLINGTON — Despite falling in the 3-A East Regional Final, Union Pines tennis player Melissa Tally still has an opportunity to become a champion. Tally, who lost in the regional final to Masey DeMoss of McMichael High School 6-0, 6-2 on Saturday at the Burlington Tennis Center, was the only member of the Lady Vikings tennis squad to qualify for the upcoming 3-A Individual State Tournament where she will compete for a coveted 3-A state championship. The tournament started on Friday afternoon with Tally defeating Kathryn Stroup of Ledford 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinal round. In the quarterfinals, Tally continued her dominating play with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Keely Snyder of Morehead High School. Things got a little shaky in the semifinals for Tally, who won the 2010 Cape Fear Valley Conference championship, as she faced Morehead’s Tori Huffman. In the first game, Tally survived a 7-5 thriller before cruising in the second game 6-1.

North Carolina’s Justin Knox flexes his muscles for the camera during the Tar Heels’ Media Day last week. Knox, who transferred into the program after spending the last three seasons at Alabama, says is excited about getting the 2010-11 season started with the Tar Heels.

UNC’s Justin Knox is eager to get first season in Chapel Hill started By BRIANA GORMAN bgorman@heraldsun.com CHAPEL HILL — Justin Knox was feeling a little overwhelmed at North Carolina’s basketball media day last Thursday. After spending the past three seasons playing for Alabama, where football reigns, Knox was surrounded by at least 20 media members for his first comments in a baby blue

uniform after transferring to UNC over the summer. “It’s pretty exciting because I realize the rare opportunity I have just because of the North Carolina program and how it is and traditions and the fact that most of our games are on TV so it’s going to be a pretty prime time event every time we step on the court,” Knox said. Knox, who stands

at 6-9 and 240 pounds, completed his degree in business management at Alabama in July and arrived in Chapel Hill in August. According to NCAA guidelines the forward doesn’t have to sit out a year because he chose a graduate program —sports administration —not offered by Alabama. Timing also played a role in how Knox ended up at UNC. Soon after Knox ap-

DAYTON, Ohio — The Campbell Camels gave up 21 points in the fourth quarter as Dayton rallied back to a 41-23 victory on Saturday afternoon. The loss was the first on the road for the Camels this season and it keeps the Flyers unbeaten in the Pioneer Football League. Campbell quarterback Daniel Polk ran for 74 yards and passed for another 187 yards in the loss. C.J. Oates caught six passes for 82 yards and had a rushing touchdown. Defensively, Campbell was led by Jared Hart, who had a team-best 11 tackles. Dayton was led by Steve Valentino, who ran for 89 yards and threw for another 223. James Vercammen totaled 17 tackles and two forced fumbles for the Flyers’ defense. Campbell scored first on a 76-yard drive that resulted in a two-yard rush by Oates. The Campbell drive was aided by Polk’s 48-yard completion, the longest of his career, which was caught by to Alex Royal. The score and the extra point gave the Camels a 7-0 lead early. After a defensive stop, the Campbell offense marched down the field and added an Adam Willets’ 20-yard field goal to increase the margin to 10-0 with 2:48 remaining in the opening stanza. Dayton answered to start the second quarter with a Steve Valentino three-yard rushing touchdown to draw to within 10-7 after the made kick from Nick Glavin with 14:28 remaining in the second quarter. The drive covered seven plays, 66 yards and 3:14. The Flyers took the lead on their next possession on Valentino’s one-yard rush. It was his second rushing touchdown of the game and finished

from Alabama,” Knox said. “North Carolina wasn’t even a thought, but I guess everything happens for a reason.” Knox said there were multiple reasons why he wanted to leave Alabama, but one of the main reasons is he wants to play professionally after college and he didn’t think that was going to happen if he stayed at Alabama.

KESELOWSKI WINS NATIONWIDE RACE AGAIN

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Brad Keselowski won the NASCAR Nationwide 5-Hour Energy 250 on Saturday, rolling past Reed Sorenson with two laps remaining at Gateway International Raceway. Keselowski, who has a large lead in the series standings, earned his sixth Nationwide victory of the season and No. 12 for his career. Mike Bliss finished second, followed by pole-sitter Justin Allgaier. Keselowski took on four tires during a pit stop with 10 laps remaining. The move paid off as he rallied from fifth place with five laps left. The Nationwide stop likely was the final race at Gateway. Dover Motorsports, owner of the track, has put the property up for sale and has not requested any racing dates for 2011.

proached the Alabama coaching staff to let them know he wanted to transfer, forwards David and Travis Wear told UNC coach Roy Williams they were leaving the program to transfer to UCLA. Knox said the Tar Heels’ coaching staff then contacted him about an opening for a big man since forwards Deon Thompson and Ed Davis were also gone. “I wanted to transfer

Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TD run lifts Chargers to another overtime victory CREEDMOOR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Once again, the Northwood Chargers survived. For the second straight week, the Chargers needed to overtime to remain undefeated in the Carolina-9 2-A Conference. Dylan Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oneyard touchdown run in overtime was enough to give the Chargers a 24-17 overtime victory against South Granville on Friday night. Late in the fourth quarter, Davis ran in from

11-yards out to tie the game at 17. Davis finished with four carries for 14 yards. The game was tied 1010 at halftime, but South Granville took the lead with 6:41 to play thanks to a 1-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Walls. Walls led South Granville with 19 carries for 106 yards and teammate Darien Smith ran for 106 yards on 22 carries. Smith also added a 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Offensively, the Chargers were led by tailback Austin Matthews, who rushed for 44 yards on five carries. Kevin Williams also ran for 25 yards on 19 carries. Northwood wide receiver Tra Chandler had two catches for 71 yards in the victory for Northwood (6-4, 3-0). Northwood quarterback Adam Leviner was 3 of 9 for 91 yards and also had a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Durham Herald Sun contributed to this report

Cooley led the team with 12 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown while Chiles scored twice on 10 carries for 100 yards.

Overhills 46, Westover 21

FAYETTEVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Overhills keeps winning critical games and Tyree Massey is a huge reason why. Massey ran for 241 yards and seven touchdowns to lift the Jaguars to a 46-21 victory over Westover on Friday night. Masseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big performance kept the Jaguars unbeaten in the Cape Fear Valley Conference as they stand in a first-place tie with Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek. The Jaguars (4-5, 4-0) have won four straight games since starting the season 0-5. Massey scored five of his seven touchdowns in the first half while picking up 216 yards give the Jaguars a 34-14 advantage at halftime. Westover scored first on a 34-yard run by Kenneth Newsome, but the Wolverines (3-6, 2-2) had no answer for Massey, who scored just two plays later on a 47-yard run up the middle. Massey would score again from five and 67 yards, respectively, to give the Jaguars a 20-7 lead. Westover responded with an 11-yard run by Marquise Hall, which made the score 20-14 early in the second quarter. On the next possession, Massey left a trail of defenders behind for a 71-yard touchdown run to end the comeback bid for the Wolverines.

Smith, 49ers begin 11-day trip at Panthers By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Maybe this 11-day, eight-time zone, two-continent trip is a good thing for Alex Smith and the San Francisco 49ers. Smith gets a reprieve from the booing fans back home upset with his struggles and the 49ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poor start. And the first opponent in this transAtlantic tour can serve as a confidence boost for Smith. Quarterbacks can play much worse than Smith has this season. Just ask Carolina. While the Panthers (0-5) again turn to Matt Moore three games after he was benched because rookie Jimmy Clausen was no better, the 49ers (1-5) hope to pounce against the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest-scoring team Sunday and win their second straight before flying directly to London for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Denver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is potential for positive things,â&#x20AC;? Smith said of the trip, chuckling but not answering if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get away from San Francisco. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult season seemed to hit a low point in the first half last week, when the calls for backup David Carr were loud as the winless 49ers trailed Oakland 6-0 and Smith was 2 of 11 passing. But Smith recovered with two second-half touchdown passes, went without a turnover for the first time this season, and the consensus pick to win the NFC West beat the Raiders 17-9 to leave only Carolina and Buffalo in the

Carolina Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dante Rosario (88) is upended by Chicago Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pisa Tinoisamoa (59) in a recent NFL game. The Panthers are looking for their first win of the season when they play the 49ers today. NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winless club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just feel even when he is home with the boos he has to work through it just like he did last week,â&#x20AC;? 49ers coach Mike Singletary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it makes him better and I think the fans are seeing him mature right before their eyes and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing good things.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers know about home boos, too. Moore was the target of fans in a 20-7 home loss to Tampa Bay that got him benched. But Clausen couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spark an offense averaging 10.4 points a game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 52 points are 28 fewer than any other team in the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and coach John Fox elevated Moore to the starting job again on Monday following their bye week. Moore, who was 4-1 as a starter last season, gets another chance to overcome his eight turnovers and 33.3 passer rating and try to stop the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst start since they were 0-7 in 1998. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me personally

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I can play this game. I think people here know I can play this game. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of showing it.â&#x20AC;? Quarterback play is not all that ails Carolina. While the Panthers are expected to get top receiver Steve Smith (ankle) back Sunday, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been slowed by constant double teams because opponents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respect the three rookies and two recent waiver claims that make up the rest of the receiving unit. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also allowed teams to stack the line of scrimmage with eight defenders to stop Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once-feared running game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added up to the Panthers averaging a league-worst 236 yards a game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep seeing that until we can make them respect us a little bit more in the passing game,â&#x20AC;? center Ryan Kalil said of the eight-man fronts. The 49ers likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stray from that script, and the defense was impres-

sive last week, holding the Raiders to 179 yards. But if San Francisco is ever going to improve on its minus-8 turnover margin and its league-low seven takeaways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against Carolina. The Panthers have an NFLhigh 16 turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we continue to work toward,â&#x20AC;? Singletary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding that balance between guys not just focusing on turnovers but doing their jobs and understanding that turnovers will come.â&#x20AC;? Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miscues have been puzzling. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completed just 42 percent of his passes and was missing badly on deep balls before he was benched. He quickly threw two interceptions when he replaced Clausen late in the fourth quarter of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last game, a 23-6 loss to Chicago on Oct. 10. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also lost two fumbles and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked to be in command of an overhauled offense searching for a leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being good on first and second down early, and then hitting the shorter passes when we need them,â&#x20AC;? Moore said of the plan to get out of his funk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get the run game going. And when a ball is there down the field we have, just have, to hit it.â&#x20AC;? Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six picks in parts of three games is less than Alex Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFL-high nine. It would help if Smith on Sunday can again rely on Frank Gore, who rushed for 149 yards last week. The 49ers had a busy week. After packing for 11 days and many different climates, Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flight to Charlotte began a nearly 12,000-mile excursion that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring them back to the Bay Area until Nov. 1.

Yankees After changes, Rangers heading to 1st World Series in team history have host ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cliff Lee gets to pitch in an even bigger game for the AL champion Texas Rangers with the New York Yankees out of the way. The ace left-hander didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to beat the defending champions again to put Texas in its first World Series, so the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prized midseason acquisition is set to start Game 1 on the biggest stage Wednesday night. Lee is no stranger to the World Series. He won Games 1 and 5 for Philadelphia over New York last fall before the Phillies traded him to Seattle the same day they acquired Roy Halladay. But the Rangers are newcomers, making the Fall Classic in the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th season despite plenty of unexpected pitching changes along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all started having a certain feeling at some point in time. They just kept fighting back and fighting back, and we started believing in them,â&#x20AC;? said Rangers icon Nolan Ryan, the team president and part-owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were determined to get it done.â&#x20AC;? While Lee was pitching for another AL West team at the start of the season, Scott Feldman and Rich Harden, the big addition last winter, topped the Texas rotation. Frank Francisco was expected to be the closer. While none of that trio is pitching this fall, the team that used to never

have enough pitching is going to the World Series. The Rangers clinched their first AL pennant with a 6-1 victory over the Yankees in Game 6 of the AL championship series Friday night before a frenzied crowd of 51,404 at Rangers Ballpark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the shadow of Cowboys Stadium, where the attention is usually focused in the fall. Colby Lewis dominated over eight innings, winning for the second time in the series, before Neftali Feliz closed it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group of guys, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Lee, who was ready to pitch Game 7 if needed, after a 13-strikeout performance against the Yankees in Game 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this group of guys, if we keep playing the way we have, things are going to work out.â&#x20AC;? The Rangers dismissed the 27-time champion Bronx Bombers much the same way New York had knocked them out of the playoffs their previous three appearances in the second half of the 1990s. There was little drama. Texas outscoring the Yankees 38-19, and all four wins were by at least five runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My team never once thought that game was in hand, especially when you play a team like the New York Yankees,â&#x20AC;? fourth-year manager Ron Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had to get 27 (outs). We knew we had to keep putting the pressure on. We knew we had to keep playing base-

presence in our lineup makes everyone else better. ... Josh didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to swing the bat; Vlad did; Cruz did, and we put some runs on the board.â&#x20AC;? Right after Hamilton was given a free pass in the fifth inning Friday night, Vladimir Guerrero hit a two-run single. Nelson Cruz followed with a homer for a 5-1 lead. Guerrero signed with Texas for a guaranteed $6.5 million last winter after the Los Angeles showed little interest in retaining the former AL MVP. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now going to the World Series for the first time in his 15 major league seasons. Lewis was another addition last winter, returning to his original team after pitching the last two seasons in Japan. C.J. Wilson made the transition from the bullpen to the rotation and won 15 games. But the top starters were supposed to be Feldman, who after winning 17 games in 2009 got a new three-year contract worth nearly $14 million, and Harden, the free agent addition expected to be the No. 1 starter. Feldman started opening day, but was 5-10 as a starter and moved back to the bullpen before being left off the postseason roster. Harden was a bust, bothered by injuries and control problems. The right-hander went 5-5 with a 5.58 ERA and was designated for assignment right after the season to give him his unconditional release.

of issues to tend to

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Yankees never came close to repeating. Not really. A six-game loss to Texas in the AL championship series was mostly a wipeout, and New York heads into the offseason with gaps in its starting rotation, holes in its bullpen and an offense that never did recover from the loss of Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon. And now the Yankees have to deal with contract negotiations for Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and perhaps Andy Pettitte, plus their likely attempt to woo Cliff Lee and possibly Carl Crawford. Figures to be an offseason of pinstriped pursuit. For now, losing the World Series title will hurt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They outhit us, they out pitched us, outplayed us and they beat us,â&#x20AC;? manager Joe Girardi said after Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You take away one inning and one game, and it was very one-sided. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it done.â&#x20AC;? The Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round sweep against the bangedup Twins, who entered the postseason without Justin Morneau and with Joe Mauer playing hurt, masked a team that went 29-30 from Aug. 1 on. New York was outscored 38-19 by Texas, outhit .304 to .201 and had a 6.58 ERA to Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3.06. New York batted .151 (8 for 53) with runners in scoring position to .328 (19 for 58) for the Rangers, and while Texas swiped nine bases in 10 chances, New York stole just two. Alex Rodriguez hit .190 with two RBIs in the ALCS, while Brett Gardner slumped to .176 and Nick Swisher to .091. Mark Teixeira was 0 for 14 before straining a hamstring, leaving his two-year postseason average with the Yankees at .180. Last year, their left fielders and designated hitters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; primarily Damon and Matsui â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hit .296 with 15 runs, five homers and 21 RBIs in the postseason. This time, with Gardner and Marcus Thames getting most of the at-bats, the left field and DH slots combined for a .220 average with five runs, two homers and nine RBIs. CC Sabathiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postseason ERA rose from 1.98 to 5.63 and A.J Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 5.27 to 7.50. While Damaso Marte (0.00 ERA) and Phil Coke (five scoreless appearances before allowing two runs in Game 5 at Philadelphia) gave them solid left-handed relief in 2009, Boone Logan had a 10.80 ERA in the playoffs. This was only the second time the Yankees were outhit by 100 points in a postseason series, the first since the New York Giants outhit them .309 to .203 in the 1922 World Series, according to STATS LLC. And was it the biggest ever difference for the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ERA over an opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, topping the 1976 World Series, when Cincinnati had a 2.00 ERA to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5.45. This winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves should overshadow the minor makeover that followed World Series title No. 27. Girardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial $7.8 million, three-year contract as Joe Torreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor is expiring, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little doubt he will return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would think that would be our first order of business,â&#x20AC;? general manager Brian Cashman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked to our owners yet.â&#x20AC;?

No. 5 Auburn hands No. 6 LSU its first loss

virginia tech 44, Duke 7

Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor (5) looks for extra yardage during the first half against Duke in an NCAA college football game on Saturday at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va..

Taylor, Hokies rout Blue Devils BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Virginia Tech is back where most of its fans figured it would be at this point in the season: leading the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tyrod Taylor threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns and the No. 23 Hokies rolled to a 44-7 victory over Duke on Saturday, the sixth straight victory for a team that opened with two straight losses, including a stunning upset to James Madison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got things to work on, but when you play well and you have success, it builds confidence,â&#x20AC;? coach Frank Beamer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk your way into it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to build it. The last couple of games, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken steps where we want to go.â&#x20AC;? Taylor was 13 of 17 passing and finished with 327 yards of total offense, putting him less than 100 away from becoming the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Beamer, whose team beat Duke for the 10th consecutive time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our quarterback is playing real well, and he gives

us a chance.â&#x20AC;? Ryan Williams, a firstteam All-Atlantic Coast Conference running back a year ago, returned after missing four games with a hamstring injury. He only played two series but scored on a 1-yard run in the first q3uarter as the Hokies (6-2, 4-0) opened a 27-0 lead by halftime. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone score came on Jay Hollingsworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-yard run in the third quarter. The Blue Devils (1-6, 0-4), who have lost six straight, finished with just 208 yards of total offense. The Hokies were in control from the start, with Taylor leading them on a drive that he capped with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Andre Smith with 7:56 left in the first quarter. Williams added his TD run a few minutes later, and Darren Evans made it 21-0 with 10:05 left in the second quarter when he scored from 2 yards out. Chris Hazley added two of his three field goals to put the Hokies up 27-0 by the break. Virginia Tech added to its cushion right out of the break, taking less than 4

minutes to march down field. Taylor connected with Dyrell Roberts from 43 yards to make it 34-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all starts with Tyrod Taylor,â&#x20AC;? Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You give him opportunities and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make the most of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a college quarterback playing any better in the country. Period,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He might be the best dual-threat quarterback in the country. He might be the best quarterback in the country. He made some throws that were unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third touchdown pass covered 65 yards to David Wilson later in the quarter, making it 41-7, and Hazley added another field goal late in the third quarter for the final margin. The Hokies finished with 491 yards of total offense and scored on eight of their first nine possessions in the game. They topped the 40-point mark for the fourth consecutive game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a first since the 2000 season, when Michael Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team did it four straight to open the season.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cam Newton ran for 217 yards and Onterio McCalebb sprinted 70 yards for the goahead score with 5:05 left to lift No. 5 Auburn to a 24-17 victory over No. 6 LSU. The host Tigers (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) moved on as the powerful leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last unbeaten team. LSU (7-1, 4-1) finally had a Les Miles gamble backfire in an adventurous season. Newton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to set back his Heisman Trophy candidacy against the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defense. He ran for two touchdowns and broke the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singleseason rushing mark for a quarterback of 1,006 yards by Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jimmy Sidle in 1963. He also topped Heisman winner Pat Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-year-old school mark of 26 TDs rushing and passing in a season. Miles opted to go for it on fourth-and-6 from LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 with 3:27 left. Jarrett Lee tried to scramble for it but was stopped well short by Neiko Thorpe.

Northwestern 35, No. 8 Michigan State 27

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kirk Cousins threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 8 Michigan State rallied to beat Northwestern 35-27 and remain unbeaten on Saturday. B.J. Cunningham made an acrobatic grab for the go-ahead touchdown with two minutes left. Edwin Baker added a 25-yard scoring run and Eric Gordon intercepted Dan Persa to seal a wild win. Playing out of state for the first time this season, the Spartans scored 28 points in the second half. They trailed the entire way until Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grab with two minutes left on a ball that he and Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Peters tipped in the end zone. Cunningham corralled the ball as he crashed to the ground, giving Michigan State its first lead at 28-27. That catch on a first down at the

9 capped an 88-yard drive in which Cousins completed 7 of 8 passes. After a drive by the Wildcats went nowhere, Michigan State (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) took over at the Northwestern 31, and Baker broke through from the 25 to make it 35-27 with 1:07 left.

No. 10 Wisconsin stuns Iowa 31-30

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Montee Ball ran 8 yards for a touchdown with 1:06 left and No. 10 Wisconsin rallied to beat No. 13 Iowa 31-30 on Saturday. Scott Tolzien threw for 205 yards and a touchdown, John Clay added a pair of touchdowns for the Badgers (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten), who kept their final drive alive by converting a fake punt deep in their own territory. Punter Brad Nortman ran 17 yards on fourth down from his own 26 with Wisconsin trailing 30-24. The Badgers converted another fourth down with 3:23 left and Ball capped an 80-yard drive with the game-winning score, barely breaking with goal line with an outstretched arm hold the ball. Iowa (5-2, 2-1) took a 3024 lead on Michael Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-yard field goal with 8:35 left. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final drive ended when Adam Robinson failed to get out of bounds before time expired.

No. 11 Ohio State 49, Purdue 0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Terrelle Pryor threw for three scores, Dan Herron ran for two and No. 11 Ohio State showed it was over its Wisconsin hangover with a victory over Purdue. The beat-up Buckeyes (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) also got redemption for a stunning 26-18 upset a year ago at Purdue, along with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3118 defeat in Madison that toppled them from No. 1. Mission accomplished.

Purdue (4-3, 2-1), which had won four of five despite losing its front-line quarterback, tailback and wide receiver, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t muster anything against the Buckeyes, who were without leading tackler Ross Homan (foot). The Boilermakers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 100 yards in total offense until their final possession.

Syracuse 19, No. 20 WVU 14

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ryan Nassib threw a touchdown pass, Ross Krautman kicked four field goals and Syracuse scored nine points off turnovers in shocking West Virginia. Syracuse (5-2, 2-1 Big East) snapped an eight-game losing streak to West Virginia (5-2, 1-1). The Orange made a remarkable turnaround on defense after being throttled at home by Pittsburgh 45-14 last week. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith threw three first-half interceptions and was sacked five times. He entered the game completing 68 percent of his passes, but looked confused by Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blitz.

Iowa State 28, No. 22 Texas 21

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Austen Arnaud passed for two touchdowns, Alexander Robinson ran for 120 yards and two scores and Iowa State put another home loss on Texas. The Longhorns, back home for the first time since a 34-12 loss to UCLA on Sept. 25, dropped a second straight in Austin for the first time since 1997. This one came against an Iowa State defense that had given up 120 points the previous two games. The Cyclones (4-4, 2-2 Big 12) got their first win over Texas (4-3, 2-2) with the defense forcing four turnovers by Longhorns quarterback Garrett Gilbert.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase leader Jimmie Johnson prepares for a practice session on for Sunday’s Tums Fast Relief 500 auto race at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va. Johnson is looking to win his fifth straight NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.

Johnson: Drive for 5 still has a long way to go MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has won four consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup titles and is leading the way again midway through the 10-race Chase for the championship. With five races remaining and just a 41-point advantage over Denny Hamlin heading in Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway, Johnson said the race is far from over. Even so, drivers who covet the title can only marvel at the seeming inevitability of his success. No other driver has won four consecutive championships in NASCAR’s top series, and Cale Yarborough is the only other driver to have won three in a row, from 1976-78. “It’s just pretty amazing. I guess there are a lot of other words for it, but it’s

amazing,” Roush Fenway Racing driver Carl Edwards said. “To be able to constantly perform at that level is the thing that’s pretty spectacular to me. We’ve just got to go beat them.” Edwards and everyone else has been trying for five years, and while Johnson said he becomes more relaxed each time he runs toward the title, others study how he races. “Their ability to overcome hurdles during the race is what separates them from everybody else,” said Kurt Busch, who won the championship in 2004 and hasn’t finished better than fourth since. “At the beginning of the Charlotte race last week, he spins out all on his own off of Turn 2, an ill-handling race car. They work on it and end up with a top-five.

“We had the same scenario at Charlotte with a race-winning setup that won the race in May and we limped home to a 30th-place finish. That’s not going to cut it to win championships. “It’s amazing how they do it. There’s no written way to do it. ... Just when you think you’ve got them, they do something out of the world again to put themselves on top.” Clint Bowyer, asked about a growing sense among fans that Johnson’s fifth title is a foregone conclusion, said that sentiment would make sense based on recent history. “The public can sit in the stands and watch him do it for four years in a row,” Bowyer said. “If you think about it, that’s a long time, that is a lot of races.”

off the nine play, 47 yard drive that covered 3:55. Glavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra point was good to put UD up 14-10 with 9:00 remaining in the second quarter. The Camels, thanks to an interception and return from redshirt freshman Steth Monroe, were given a short field on the Dayton 20 to start their drive. Polk connected with Kurt Odom on the goal line for a passing touchdown to complete the three-play drive. The touchdown was the first of Odomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career and gave

Pirates

the second half to blow the game open against the struggling Thundering Herd (1-6, 0-3). East Carolina was coming off an overtime win against instate rival North Carolina State, a game that drew a sellout and record crowd to DowdyFicklen Stadium. But that energy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry over, with the Pirates coming out flat and finding their normally prolific spread passing attack struggling for yardage early.

Knox

Continued from Page 1B

He said it was not an easy decision picking UNC over Georgia Tech, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited about the opportunity to play for the Tar Heels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very different [from Alabama] and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better actually,â&#x20AC;? Knox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of puts a little bit more pressure on you but it also kind of makes you better knowing that everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching you.â&#x20AC;? Center Tyler Zeller, who is the tallest player on the roster at 7-0, said Knox is fitting in well with the team, and he expects Knox to contribute significant minutes since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third tallest player on a team with little frontcourt depth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been here since August so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played a lot of pickup with us,â&#x20AC;? Zeller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played very well.â&#x20AC;? Knox said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been bonding with his teammates, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honored UNC would want him to play for it. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to waste his

Campbell a 17-14 lead after the made Willets extra point with 6:55 remaining in the third quarter. Dayton took the lead back, 20-17, on the ensuing drive as Valentino led his team on a seven play, 62 yard drive that was finished on Brian Mackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rush. The extra point attempt was missed as Milton Brown was able to pick off Valentinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass attempt after a botched snap from the long snapper forced the quarterback to improvise. Campbell wrestled the lead back on its next drive with Carl Smith taking the quarterback pitch and running 31-yards for a

touchdown. The extra point was missed to keep the score at 23-20 with 1:14 remaining in the third quarter. The Campbell drive covered five plays, 66 yards. The lead changed hands for the fourth time in the second half on the six-yard rush from Taylor Harris. The Glavin extra point was good to increase the margin to 27-23 with 13:06 remaining in the game. The Dayton defense then forced a Campbell fumble to set up a short field for the UD offense at Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37. The Flyers then marched down the field and scored a go-ahead touchdown on

Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one-yard rush. The drive covered four plays, 37 yards and 1:14. The Glavin extra point was good to increase the margin to 34-23 with 11:04 remaining in the game. Another Campbell turnover gave the Flyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense a short field to work with as UD marched down the field on a 53yard drive to increase the lead to 41-23. The drive was completed by the third rushing touchdown of the game for Harris and point after from Glavin. Campbell will return home to take on Marist on Oct. 30 at 1 p.m. The game is homecoming for the Camels.

In fact, Marshall had outgained East Carolina (186-167) in total yardage in the first half while Davis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who came in as the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top passer at nearly 315 yards per game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; threw for just 92 yards. But Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; powerful 29yard burst up the middle for a touchdown put East Carolina ahead 17-10 with 2:14 left in the half, a margin that would only grow. First Davis capped the opening drive of the second half by scampering around the left side untouched for a 26-yard touchdown to make it 2710. Then, after the second

drive ended with a field goal, Williams cracked the 100-yard mark by barreling over would-be tacklers for another bruising run of 21 yards to set up Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10-yard scoring toss to Mike Price for the 37-10 lead with 12:59 left. That was Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last throw, with former walkon Brad Wornick entering the game with more than 9 minutes left. Meanwhile, Brian Anderson threw for 217 yards before being pulled for a backup for the third straight game. He had some success early by throwing underneath, but

struggled the longer the game wore on and finished 27 for-47 with three interceptions. Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only touchdown was Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-yard pass to Troy Evans midway through the second quarter that tied the game at 10-10. Before the game, there was a moment of silence to honor the 75 victims of the 1970 plane crash that took place as the Marshall team was returning home from a loss at East Carolina. Next month marks the 40th anniversary of the crash.

opportunity to spend a year playing for the Tar Heels and wants to help them bounce back from a 20-17 season. He said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow UNC closely last season but is aware of how much they struggled.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My reaction was pretty much like everybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind of shocked about it because of the success North Carolina has had over the years,â&#x20AC;? Knox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure coach

wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our season like that. And we as a team wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that either so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make sure it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.â&#x20AC;?

She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome the obstacle of DeMoss in the finals, however. Tally wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Lady Viking representing her school in the regional tournament. Union Pines junior Brittany Jones joined Tally in the singles division. In the first round, Jones defeated Katherine Sullivan of Ledford High School in a three-set thriller. Jones survived, winning the match 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-0. In the quarterfinals, Jones fell in straight sets to Huffman 6-0, 6-1. If Jones had gotten the victory, she wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve faced Tally in the semifinals. In the consolation round, Huffman defeated Cardinal Gibbonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rachel Lynch-Daniels in straight sets to finish in third place in the region. In doubles, Union Pines was represented by three teams, all of which suffered first-round exits. The Lady Vikings duo of Madi Kramer and Laura Cameron, the 2010 Cape Fear Valley Conference champions, fell in their first round match in three sets to the Northern Guilford team of Megan

Jackle and Sarah Gingerich. Scores were 5-7, 6-0, 6-4. Elena Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Argenio and Maddie Walden lost in straight sets to Western Alamanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelly Shemo and Savannah Brown 6-1, 6-2. Union Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Virginia Priest and Shannon Simpson, the conference runners-up, also lost in straight sets to Rosheny Edathil and Sydney Brooks of Burlington Williams 7-6 (7-2), 6-0. Lauren Brooker and Caroline Smith of Cardinal Gibbons finished in first place in the region as they defeated Edathil and Brooks in the finals. Third place finishers were Cori Krause and Monic Panosian of Cardinal Gibbons, who defeated Raleigh McCoy and Claire Dockrill of Western Alamance in the cosolation finals 6-0, 6-4. Even if Tally does not have the result she is looking for in the state tournament, the fact that she is just a sophomore shows that she has a very bright future ahead of her at Union Pines. The 3-A State Tournament will begin on Friday, Oct. 29 and will conclude on Saturday, Oct. 30. Matches will also be played at the Burlington Tennis Center.

10B / Sunday, October 24, 2010 / The Sanford Herald DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Churchgoer wishes fellow congregants would kiss off DEAR ABBY: I have a problem with people in our church congregation who want to greet me with a kiss. Please advise me on how to handle this delicate situation. I don’t want to hurt any feelings; these are nice people. However, lips carry germs, and I have a weak immune system. I have tried extending my hand in greeting, but one man smooched me anyway, saying, “I don’t shake hands with girls!” Abby, I’m 70 and hardly a “girl,” and I didn’t appreciate his rejection of my handshake. Do you think it will work if I tell him and others that I have a contagious disease that causes men’s lips to dry up and fall off? — DEANNA IN FLORIDA

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t take life so seriously. You have to be able to play as hard as you work. It’s relating to others on many different levels that will count. Show your professional and personal skills and you will find your place and thrive. Your willingness to explore new avenues will attract positive attention. Your numbers are 5, 8, 12, 20, 23, 34, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t look back or have regrets about what might have been. Forward motion will bring you back to being your best. A contract with unusual rewards is apparent. A new partnership will inspire you. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take advantage of an opportunity to do business, form a partnership or take part in something that can further your interests. Relationships will be emotional but stellar, so express your feelings and intentions. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t be fooled by how others portray who they are or what they do or have accomplished. You are every bit as resourceful and successful, so don’t lose faith or allow anyone to belittle you. Connect with someone from your past who owes you a favor. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take on a challenge and you will surpass your expectations. You can enhance your reputation and impress people willing to help you advance. Children and older relatives will give you great insight. 4 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can expect to face opposition at home and with regard to personal matters or settlements. Focus on your work and how you can get ahead. Greater insight into different lifestyles will help you make any necessary adjustments. 2 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s your turn to choose with whom you want to spend your time. Don’t be

WORD JUMBLE

shy -- take the plunge and be a participant. Love is in the stars and socializing with friends, neighbors or someone you are already attached to will help you discover a new interest. 4 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t give in to pressure or guilt that someone tries to push your way. Rely on what you have learned through past experience. Focus on what you have to offer and how you can utilize your skills to advance. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put aside your differences and plan to have some fun. Taking an entertaining approach to the way you deal with the people you are with today will plant the seed for future opportunities. Creative projects can get a boost and a partnership looks promising. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Getting involved in a cause you believe in or working alongside someone you respect or want to get to know better will lead to greater opportunities. Don’t let unsettled business at home cause you to miss out on something you want to do. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Return to doing the things you enjoy most and spending time with people you relate to better. Improve both your personal and professional direction and purpose. Offering help to someone from your past will open up a door that has been shut for some time. 5 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep things low key and observe before making a move. Problems can be expected to surface if you travel or communicate with people with a different opinion or attitude. Go over your personal and financial papers. 2 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take pride in what you do. You’ll be the one who can persuade others to join your crusade or to get involved in a creative project you are working toward. Money and interesting proposals are heading your way. 4 stars

DEAR DEANNA: No. It would be more to the point to tell your fellow church members that you have a fragile immune system and are susceptible to viruses -- which is why you prefer to shake hands. It’s the truth. And if the man who smooched you continues to be a problem, talk to your clergyperson about it. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: I have met my soul mate. She has the same name as my ex-wife. How do we remedy this? It is driving me nuts! — SCOTT IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR SCOTT: Remember when you were in school and there were

several students in a class who shared the same name? Some of them would adopt a nickname. If it’s OK with your soul mate, she can certainly do the same. But consider the upside for you. The fact that your new lady’s and ex-wife’s names match guarantees you won’t ever slip and call her by the wrong one. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: I am hoping you might have a suggestion on how to handle cigarette smokers who ignore my requests to not smoke in my direction. I have severe allergies, and I also suffer from dry eye syndrome. Even after I have told smokers that their addiction worsens my condition they continue, assuming that by cracking a window the room is ventilated. — FRUSTRATED IN TURLOCK, CALIF.

❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: A year ago, I married an old and dear friend. We have both been through marriage, divorce and difficult relationships. At last, I finally found the person I was meant to be with. My husband’s parents have been gone for several years, but I was fortunate enough to know them before they died. We went to visit their graves the day after our wedding, and I placed two pennies I had been saving on their headstone -- one dated 1968 for me and one dated 1963 for him. Last week I received several pennies in change and dropped them into my wallet. When I fished them out later, I was delighted to see that one was from 1968 and the other was from 1963! I believe in my heart it’s his parents’ way of telling us that they are happy we are together. — LUCKY BRIDE IN MAINE DEAR LUCKY BRIDE: And I can’t think of a more meaningful wedding gift you could have received from your late in-laws. May you and your soul mate enjoy many happy, healthy years together.

ODDS AND ENDS Man, 73, rides lawnmower to spring job from kennel HYDRO, Okla. (AP) — An elderly Hydro man landed in jail after springing his prized pooch from the town kennel. Instead of paying a $100 fine for not having his poodle on a leash, 73-year-old Edwin Fry decided to bust Buddy Tough out, driving his lawnmower to the city pound Oct. 13 and breaking into the cage with bolt cutters. As the pair escaped, police officer Chris Chancellor intercepted them. Chancellor told The Oklahoman officers had received numerous complaints about Buddy Tough, who had been in the pound before. He said Fry had been told he could retrieve the dog and sort out the fine in court. “I’ve been in law enforcement 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve known of anyone that has busted a dog out of jail,” Chancellor told The Oklahoman. Fry spent several days in jail, and faces a municipal charge of allowing an animal to run at-large. Fry didn’t deny the charges. He told The Oklahoman that he warned police to stay away from his dog unless they wanted to face his shotgun. As for Buddy Tough, he was euthanized while Fry was in jail.

Library book returned to Virginia college 35 years late WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — A novel checked out in 1975 from the College of William & Mary library is back in the stacks.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER The long-term lender is alumnus Pat Harkin, who found the book of Leon Uris’ “QB VII” in a box. He says he planned to return it for the past several homecomings, but he finally made good on his intentions Friday. The library caps its fees at $35. Otherwise, the overdue fee could have hit $1,400 at today’s dime-a-day late fee. To atone for his late return, Harkin told the Daily Press of Newport News he made a cash donation to the library. He says it was more than the $35 overdue fee, but less than the $1,400 he might have owed.

Inmate locks guards in jail cell during search PARAGOULD, Ark. (AP) — An inmate locked three guards and a sheriff’s deputy in a cell at the Greene County Jail while the officers were conducting a search for contraband. Sheriff Dan Langston chalked it up to a lack of training. The Paragould Daily Press reported that the incident happened on Oct. 10, when inmate Jacob Rodden ran out of the cell, shut the door and inserted the security pin, confining the officers inside with some of the inmates they were searching. Rodden, who then locked himself in a visitation booth, was placed in indefinite lockdown. The four officers were rescued by a jail matron, without incident. Langston said the jail is outdated and has tremendous employee turnover. The sheriff says the officers won’t be disciplined.

Spread joy at nursing homes Q: My sister is in a nursing home, and I get very sad when I see her every week because so many of the people there never have anyone visit them. Maybe you could urge people not to abandon their relatives if they have to go into a place like this. — Mrs. R.V. A: Thank you for your letter — and I know what you mean. I don’t think I’ve ever visited a nursing home without having the staff ask me to greet people who never have anyone come see them. I realize there may be practical reasons why some relatives aren’t able to visit their loved ones as often as they’d like (such as disability or distance). But often that’s not the case, and even a brief visit could do wonders for an aging relative who feels lonely or even abandoned. Even if their memory has faded and they might not be able to remember the visit, it’s still important to see that they’re receiving good care. I often think of Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount, urging us to treat others the way we’d want to be treated if we were in their situation. We often call it the Golden Rule: “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12). This should be applied to every relationship — but especially to our loved ones. May I suggest something? The next time you visit your sister, ask God to lead you to at least one other person you can encourage with a visit. Listen to them; talk with them; pray with them as you have opportunity. God can use you not only to cheer them up, but also to point them to the hope we can have of eternal life because of Jesus.

Tea Room to close its doors at year’s end

WILMINGTON (AP) — Wanted: Subcontractors for a fiveyear, $750 million construction project at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point Air Station. When? Like, right now. The call by Sundt Construction Inc. is so new that the Tempe, Ariz., company doesn’t

yet have it on its website. But it is on the N.C. Military Business Center’s website, where companies and individuals will find an enormous collection of information on military business, contracts, bids, rules and procedures. The business center and the coordinating N.C. Military Foundation are at the center of a policy by Gov. Beverly Perdue to

enhance the military’s business contribution to the state’s economy. That amounted to about $4 billion last year — the second biggest sector after agriculture, and ahead of tourism. The key word for Wilimington-area companies is sub. Because these companies and their employees will be working for Sundt and other contractors — and not the miitary — getting

a piece of the action is considerably less complicated than becoming a general contractor. The process can be done online, Sundt says. Sundt is specifically targeting North Carolina businesses. And those businesses will be working for Sundt and four other contractors.

or the past eight years, Tea Room Treasures has been the perfect side dish to Mrs. Lacy’s — one could enjoy a Southern style quaint lunch and walk next door for home decor, antique furniture, jewelry, books and more. Fans of the store will be sad to learn that Tea Room is being taken off the menu. Store owner Janice Scott announced this month that she will be shutting down Tea Room Treasures late this year. Scott’s lease on the historic home runs out Dec. 31, so this holiday shopping season will be the business’ last stand, she told The Herald Saturday. “It was a tough decision. Very tough,” Scott said. “I love what I do. When I made the decision, I cried and cried for days ... when I got the ‘store closing’ signs ordered, it took me a couple of days before I could manage to go and pick them up. Unfortunately, I had to make this decision.” Scott said she had originally decided to close in January, but decided that coinciding a “going out of business” sale with the holiday shopping season would be her best way to reduce overhead. According to the store’s Facebook site, Tea Room sells home decor, bows, garden flags, scarves, jewelry, inspirational books, children’s books, food products, teas, silk flowers, wreaths, antiques and more. All holiday or Christmas-related items are currently on sale. No official closing date has been set. Scott said it will depend on how quickly she can move her merchandise. As for her future — “I may continue to do this on a seasonal basis,” she said. “Maybe three months out of the year, so I don’t have the overhead to worry about during the slower months.”

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT? Hampton Inn in Sanford will host the next Business After Hours, sponsored by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, on Tuesday.

Visitors to the Celebrate Green Central 2010 event enjoyed watching Hilary Heckler, manager of the campus’s student farm, toss pizza crusts. The crusts were then covered with organically grown arugula from the farm, pesto and other toppings and baked in the farm’s oven. The farm is part of the college’s sustainable agriculture program.

CCCCELEBRATE GREEN College’s Chatham campus hosts ‘green’ Trade Show and Home Tour By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

PITTSBORO — Green was everywhere at the Celebrate Green Central 2010 Trade Show and Home Tour at Central Carolina Community College’s Chatham County Campus. The Oct. 15-16 event featured the campus’s green programs, including the official launch of its new Natural Chef culinary arts program. Visitors saw the new joint county-college Chatham Community Library and the college’s Sustainable Technologies Center, both constructed to achieve at least the Gold Level standard in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) of the U.S. Green Building Council. At the Trade Show, located in the library’s conference room,

Allison Hawkins (from left) and Fareed Merchant, both of Chapel Hill, check out Ronald Keith’s Healthy Home Diagnostics vendor table during the Central Carolina Community College Chatham County Campus’s Celebrate Green Central 2010 event Oct. 15-16. vendors of green building and energy efficient products touted their materials and systems to the visitors who came to explore

how going green works and how it is beneficial to people and the environment. A tour of green homes in the county was also

part of the event. “Green,” whether referring to construction, farming, transportation, or energy production describes environmentally and people-friendly ways to reduce mankind’s carbon footprint on the Earth, conserve resources and create healthier environments. “I saw some of the college’s green programs on line and that drew me in to this event,” said visitor Kevin Klug, a materials engineer from Sanford. “I like what I’ve seen.” As a materials engineer, Klug compared the growing interest in green to the space race of the 1960s. “That galvanized everyone and a lot of technologies spun off

YMCA campaign focuses on children

W Zac West Zac West is branch executive director of the YMCA of Lee County

eBuildPeople. I’m sure you have heard those words. But what do they mean to you? To the YMCA they mean helping families, fulfilling dreams, and building a stronger community. WeBuildPeople is the YMCA of the Triangle’s annual campaign, a community-wide effort to raise funds for children, teens, families and adults who otherwise could not afford YMCA programs or services. Every dollar raised from WeBuildPeople here in Lee County

is invested in the lives of people with needs right here in our community. WeBuildPeople provides scholarships and financial assistance for all YMCA programs including summer day camps, after school programs, tutorial programs,

youth sports, and adult fitness programs and activities. Through the generosity of volunteers and donors, no one is ever turned away from the YMCA of the Triangle for the inability to pay for programs. Here at the Lee County YMCA, our campaign focuses on nurturing and guiding children, reaching out to and motivating teens, supporting and strengthening families and promoting long-term health and wellness.

of it,” he said. “I think the same thing could happen. I think green is the driver of the next economy. I expect a lot of jobs to develop in the field.” Tom Wills, of Carrboro, a vendor for Solar Consultants, stopped by the Chatham Habitat for Humanity booth at the Trade Show. He spoke with a visitor about a sample block of aerated concrete on display. Chatham Habitat has used this type of block in home construction because it is energy efficient, fire and insect resistant, versatile and long lasting. “It’s a great idea to show what’s already being used in Chatham County because green building is not something only rich

who knows somebody who knows somebody in Washington that goes back to the ‘50s,” Perdue said. “But they don’t have a lock on the subcontractors.” “The average subcontractor in the Wilmington area does not fully realize the opportunities that are available through the BRAC reconfiguration,”

said Hansen Matthews, partner in the Maus, Warwick Matthews commercial real estate firm. “If they will even slightly change their paradigm they may find a world of opportunities there.” BRAC is the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, a program that has resulted in a big build-up at Camp Lejeune and encompasses

the transfer of the U.S. Army Forces Command and headquarters of the U.S. Army Reserve Command to Fort Bragg. With that come 50,000 more troops and 30 to 35 generals. “We’ve been encouraging our members in the construction industry for more than a year now, to get actively engaged in the opportunities being

offered through BRAC,” Donna Girardot, executive officer of the WilmingtonCape Fear Home Builders Association, said Monday. “There are a wide variety of opportunities for businesses offering many different services and products, including subcontractors like builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers.”

people elsewhere do,” said Wills. In the Sustainable Technologies Center, the Natural Chef program students were busy assembling trays of finger foods created from organic, locally grown food – much of it from the campus’s sustainable agriculture student farm. Visitors sampled tasty offerings such as whipped blue cheese and roasted pecans on endive leaves. “This is a wonderful class,” said student Jacquey Carey, of Pittsboro. “It’s all about using local food.” Dressed professionally in her white chef’s coat and hat, she was setting out more finger foods, trying to keep up with visitor consumption. The class is also about improving health by eating healthier food, she said. Carey’s goal is to teach chronically ill

people how to use nutritious, locally grown foods to maximize nourishment and enjoyment. At the student farm, visitors had another opportunity to pamper their taste buds and their health with fresh-made pizza crusts topped with organically grown arugula, fresh-made pesto and cheese from local farms. The pizza was baked in an oven constructed by the college’s green building students. “I like how the college and this event participate with the local community,” Andrew Mayo, of Pittsboro, said between bites of pizza. “People can forget what it’s like to be outside. The more people see, the more they want to embrace it.” More people and government levels are

embracing green in their thinking about the personal, economic, and environmental importance of going green. Central Carolina Community College has been a leader in this since 1996, when it offered its first sustainable agriculture class at the Chatham Campus. It became the first community college in the nation to offer an Associate in Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture. It was the first community college in North Carolina to offer an associate degree in biofuels. In 2010, the college added an associate degree in sustainable technology. Its green building/renewable energy program was the first at a North Carolina community college to offer a North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners

(NABCEP)-approved solar PV panel installation course. CCCC also offers an ecotourism certificate, as well as certificates in its other green programs. All this has earned the college the nickname “Green Central.” “Going green is the logical way to go,” said David Snyder, of Pittsboro, a visitor to Celebrate Green Central. “CCCC is promoting what’s cutting edge and what’s best for the community.” The college hosted the event with support from the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association and the American Solar Energy Society. Sponsors were Solar Consultants, architect Alicia Ravetto, Carolina Country Builders, and Home Performance NC.

Last year, the Lee County YMCA helped hundreds of children reach their potential. We helped families and children attend after school programs, tutorial programs, and summer day camps all having a positive impact on families and youth and adults in our neighborhoods. Children swam, played games, completed arts and crafts projects and were introduced to the character traits and values that define our programs: honesty, caring, respect, responsibility and faith. Stop by one of the Lee County YMCA’s after school sites or summer day camps and you’ll see these values demonstrated every day. Most of all the Y provides fun; safe places for kids to learn, to explore and to try something new. Volunteer or donate to the Lee County YMCA’s WeBuildPeople campaign and you can strengthen the foundations of our community.

It’s No Treat to Be Tricked by Scary Investment Moves If you have young children, or even if you just have some in your neighborhood, you know they will soon acquire large amounts of free candy, obtained by impersonating witches, vampires and other scary creatures. As an adult, of course, you’re unlikely to encounter too many monsters after Halloween ends. Yet as you go through life, you will ﬁnd some things that are truly alarming — such as scary investment moves. Here are a few of these frightful actions: s Investing too conservatively — You could try to avoid investment risk by putting all your money into very conservative investments. However, as you’re probably aware, those investments typically pay very little in the way of interest, so your money could actually lose purchasing power, even with a mild rate of inﬂation. s Investing too aggressively — Just as investing too conservatively can be counterproductive, so can investing too aggressively. Obviously, you would like your money to grow, but the investments with the highest growth potential are usually also those that carry the greatest risk to your principal. s 0UTTING TOO MUCH MONEY IN TOO FEW INVESTMENTS — If you put too many of your investment dollars into just one or two types of assets, and a downturn hits those assets, your portfolio will probably take a big hit. s Waiting too long to invest — As an investor, your biggest asset may be time.

on a great chance to build resources for retirement. To make sure you don’t fall victim to these scary investment moves, you need only follow a few simple principles. First, take the long view — you will see ups and downs in the short term, but historically The more years in which you have to the market has performed well over the invest, the greater the likelihood that you long term. (Keep in mind, though, that can make progress toward your important past performance is not guarantee of what will happen in the future.) Second, financial goals. s 4AKING A hTIMEOUTv FROM INVESTING — diversify your holdings among a variety During periods of significant market of investments. Diversification, by itself, volatility, such as we’ve seen the past cannot guarantee a profit or protect few years, you might be tempted to take against loss, but it can help reduce a “timeout” from investing and stick the effects of volatility. Try to build a all your money into very conservative diversified portfolio based on your risk vehicles until everything “blows over.” But tolerance, time horizon and long-term the financial markets will never be totally goals. And finally, consider boosting your calm, nor will they be predictable. Market 401(k) contributions whenever your salary rallies can start unexpectedly; if you’re not increases and fully funding your IRA each invested when that happens, you may year. Halloween comes but once a year, but miss out on growth opportunities. s )GNORING TAX ADVANTAGED INVESTMENT scary investment moves can haunt you for OPPORTUNITIES — When you invest in a tax- a lifetime — so take the right steps to help deferred investment account, such as your avoid them. 401(k) and a traditional IRA, your money 4HIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY %DWARD has the opportunity to grow faster than it *ONES FOR USE BY YOUR LOCAL %DWARD *ONES would if it were placed in an investment Financial Advisor. on which you paid taxes every year.

JONES ESTATES' PROPERTY, ACCORDING TO SURVEY AND MAP MADE BY W.M. MCLAUGHLIN, SURVEYOR, DATED OCTOBER 16, 1944, WHICH MAP IS RECORDED IN PLAT CABINET 2, SLIDE 351, FORMERLY BOOK OF MAPS NO. 3, AT PAGE 58, IN THE LEE COUNTY PUBLIC REGISTRY. Save and except any releases, deeds of release or prior conveyances of record. Said property is commonly known as 2620 Watson Avenue, Sanford, NC 27330.

Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax, and the court costs of Forty-Five Cents (45¢) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) pursuant to NCGS 7A-308(a)(1). A cash deposit (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale. Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing.

Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property being offered for sale. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Eric H. Barker and Tina M. Barker.

An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 daysʼ written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy. Brock & Scott, PLLC Substitute Trustee By:_____________________ (SEAL) Jeremy B.

Martin Davis led the Pledge of Allegiance. In Good News, Kevin Kirkman reported his son caught a 28-pound king mackerel on a recent fishing trip. Neal Jensen survived a visit from two sisters, and Dave Merriman reported the bad news/ good news that Ashley Hinman had an unfortunate fall that complicated his recent recovery from back surgery. Martin Davis paid a buck for his daughter Julie’s picture in The Sanford Herald as a part of Lee County Senior High’s presentation of “The Martian Chronicles.” Mike Thomas bragged on the ECU Pirates win over the NC State Wolfpack, and Ed Mishler said the Purdue Boilermakers, with their win over the Minnesota Gophers, have won their last game of the season. In Community News, The Lee County Arts Council will host a Shared Abundance Supper on Sunday, Oct. 24, from 5-7 p.m. at the Dennis Wicker Civic Center to benefit The Arts Council and The Bread Basket. The Arts ‘N Eats event costs $10 and will provide a great meal in a fine handmade take-home bowl. For tickets/information, call 774-6139 or go by the Java Express or A Few Nice Things. The Lee County Enrichment Center, in cooperation with the Elks Lodge, will host a Veterans Appreciation Breakfast on Tuesday, Nov. 9 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Reservations are required by Wednesday, Oct. 27 and can be made by calling 776-0501. Vets are free, guests are $3. In Club News, the San-Lee Sunrise Rotary Christmas party will be held Dec. 1 at the Carolina Trace Country Club. Dave Merriman will coordinate the San-Lee Sunrise efforts for both the No Scare Fair and the Nov. 6 Lee County Hunger Walk. Raymond Womble introduced Dr. Jeff Moss, Superintendent of the Lee County Schools, for a program describing the Key Strengths of the College and Career Ready Lee County School System. Technology integration through the use of 1:1 laptop computers and the Science Visualization Lab at Southern Lee High School are a key strength. Academic improvements such as increases in SAT scores and graduation rates and 13 of 14 Lee County Schools making expected or high growth scores, 10 schools of Progress and two Schools of Distinction are another key strength. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and Scientific and Technical Visualization (SciVis) and the Microsoft IT Academy will also strengthen Lee County’s move to the future. Business/community partnerships such as the Head of Class Project, Education After Hours and the Head Sprout Reading Program help to advance and sustain the award winning Lee County School System. President Santini led the Four Way Test.

Sanford Rotary Club The Oct. 19 meeting of the Sanford Rotary Club was called to order by President Tony Lett. Ted Lanier led members in the Rotary Prayer, and Tom Spence led the singing of “The Rotary Get Together Song.” In Bragging Bucks, David Nestor complimented the recent Chinese music program sponsored by CCCC and N.C. State at the Civic Center, to be followed up soon by a Chinese Dance performance. Wilson Cox was especially proud of ECU’s first quarter in recent Pirate play. The day’s 50-50 raffle of $17 was won by Dick Poletti. Tom Dossenbach announced a sign up for the February Rotary Gala committees. President Lett encouraged all members to support the Nov. 13 North Carolina Symphony concert in Sanford, perhaps making it a Rotary social event. Member J. F. Hockaday told of local effort to sponsor the Symphony’s return to the Sanford area and the necessity of a turnout exceeding 400. Alan Dossenbach introduced Richard Hayes, chair of the Lee County Commission, and Le e County Manager John Crumpton, who presented a “State of the County” program. Hayes listed education and economic development as concerns vital to developing and maintaining a culture that is diverse and rich, with a competitive tax base. “We are currently well positioned and forward-leaning” in attracting industry to the county, and this is vital for easing the tax burden on individual taxpayers. Crumpton presented a power point discussion about various capital projects such as the renovated Lee County High School, the San-Lee Dam Project and Industrial Park Stream Mitigation Project. Various graphs showed 2010 and 2011 summaries of General Fund items such as tax base, rate and revenue; county income sources; property tax base growth and sales tax revenue over the past 10 years; and various budget analyses over the past eight years. The State of North Carolina mandates 80 percent of Lee County expenses, leaving poor budgetary choices for cutting expenses in the discretionary sector, which includes COLTS, Cooperative Extension, Parks and Recreation, youth services and the county library. Lee County leadership is prudent, conservative, keeping a good fund balance in the safety zone, resulting in a current A-plus rating for the county, Hayes commented. To end the meeting, Sam Sillaman led members in the Pledge of Allegiance and David Foushee led in reciting the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do. On Oct. 26 member David Nestor will offer a program of “Traveling the North Carolina Wineries.”
