Walmart, Riverbirch among new destinations for elderly, disabled By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Beginning next week, Sanford residents will see “COLTS Stops Here” signs cropping up at popular locations such as Walmart and Riverbirch Shopping Center. Monday marks the launch of the new County of Lee Transit System DASH van route. The fixed route includes several new locations, and the service is primarily for elderly

and disabled riders. The route is open to the general public on a space available basis. It will run Monday-Friday, six times per day. “I think it will open the door for mobility options they don’t have right now,” said Debbie Davidson, Lee County senior services director. “It will give them better access to shopping areas, education and employment.”

TRICK-OR-TREATING IN SANFORD

Herald File Photo

A young pirate takes a break during a Halloween event last year. Young people will dress up and ask for candy on a Sunday (Oct. 31) this year, though the city had flirted with the idea of reserving “trick or treat” times for Saturday.

HALLOWEEN STAYS ON HALLOWEEN City to stick with Sunday, not Saturday, for annual candy hunts By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Halloween is coming, and despite the awkward placement on a Sunday night, local trick or treating will be held that evening. Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer said the city will observe the candy-centric celebration the night of Oct. 31. City officials discussed ask-

ing locals to hold their trickor-treating a night early on Saturday, Oct. 30, but eventually settled on leaving it be, Hegwer said. “The big concern would be to try to change it and the confusion that would come with it,” he said. Hegwer added that he’s heard of smaller municipalities coordinating early or late Halloween celebrations, but

Sanford has never done so officially despite some requests. City ordinances allow for the mask-wearing and trickor-treating only on Oct. 31, he said. Sanford Police Chief Ronnie Yarborough said his department doesn’t typically bring on extra officers for Halloween evening, but units will tailor their patrols for residential areas.

“We haven’t really had a lot of problems on Halloween in many years,” Yarborough said. Yarborough suggested locals follow all the standard trick-or-treating safety tips that evening. In particular, he recommended wearing light-colored clothing to be visible to motorists and keeping younger children out and about in familiar neighborhoods.

Almanac Today is Thursday, Oct. 14, the 287th day of 2010. There are 78 days left in the year. This day in history: On Oct. 14, 1960, the idea of a Peace Corps was suggested by Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to an audience of students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In 1890, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th president of the United States, was born in Denison, Texas. In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the presidency, was shot in the chest in Milwaukee. Despite the wound, he went ahead with a scheduled speech. In 1930, Ethel Merman made her Broadway debut in the musical comedy “Girl Crazy” with songs by George and Ira Gershwin. In 1939, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the HMS Royal Oak, a British battleship anchored at Scapa Flow in Scotland’s Orkney Islands; 833 of the more than 1,200 men aboard were killed. In 1947, Air Force test pilot Charles E. (“Chuck”) Yeager broke the sound barrier as he flew the experimental Bell XS-1 (later X-1) rocket plane over Muroc Dry Lake in California. In 1968, the first successful live telecast from a manned U.S. spacecraft was transmitted from Apollo 7. In 1987, a 58-hour drama began in Midland, Texas, as 18-month-old Jessica McClure slid 22 feet down an abandoned well at a private day care center; she was rescued on Oct. 16.

Classroom is to spread Chinese language and culture,” Dishman said, “and this is certainly one of those opportunities.” The classroom, which was established in collaboration with the Confucius Institute at North Carolina State University, offers a curriculum in the history, language and heritage of China. Between 18 and 25 students have enrolled in courses taught by Professor Shuya Che, and according to Dishman, “all of the classes have been full.” “They do things around campus, too,” Dishman said, including a tree planting to celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival and presentations to students, faculty and other groups. While music study is not a mandatory part of the Chinese college curriculum, Che said, “Chinese people think a person should develop themselves in different areas.” “We think we need to develop all parts to make ourselves better,” Che said. “We think a person should not only know math and know physics, but should also know something about music.” Sunday’s performers, which include four undergraduates and one associate professor from the Chinese college, will make a stop at North Carolina University before continuing on to the Wicker Center. Each will play traditional Chinese folk music on a distinct type of musical instrument — some of which have evolved from instruments introduced into the country more than 2,000 years ago. The erhu, for example, is a two-string fiddle that can be traced back to the Xi people who inhabited central Asia in the 10th Century. The pipa, which resembles a violin but is played with the fingers, appeared during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 206 B.C.. “Our traditional musical instruments have a different kind of features or character,” Che said. “They can give Americans some different feelings from American instruments.” CCCC is now taking reservations on its RSVP line for the performance, which is free and begins at 3 p.m. The venue can accommodate an audience of 200, and Dishman recommended acting quickly because seating is limited. The Confucius Classroom will provide another chance to experience China’s artistic talent on Nov. 7, when a performing dance troupe from Jishou University comes to the Wicker Center. China has 56 different minorities, Dishman said, and the troupe is a blend of ethnic backgrounds. Details are being finalized for the show, which is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. For further information about the Confucius Classroom and its activities, visit www.cccc. edu/confucius/.

Residency can be proven through a valid driver’s license with a current address, utility bills or other documents that list local address. Unregistered voters will not be allowed to cast ballots on Election

areas for shopping and to do business,” said Sidney Morgan, Lee County transportation coordinator. “We had a lot of feedback from many seniors that those are the places they needed to go. It was a great opportunity to get the community mobilized.” The new DASH van route has been in the works for more than a year, but Morgan said the workshops COLTS hosted during the summer for public feedback about Lee County transportation factored into its design. “Any time we meet with the public, we take their input and try to

match the demands of the community with the dollars we receive in funding,” Morgan said. COLTS was able to establish the new route using Section 5310 Grant Funding from the Federal Transit Administration through the North Carolina Department of Transportation, a grant specifically for meeting the transportation needs of elderly and disabled people. Davidson applied for the grant two years ago. “It’s taken this long to get all of the approvals and the van up and running,” Davidson said. “I’ve been wanting to do this for five years, so it’s

very exciting.” Morgan said he is thrilled COLTS received the grant and is able to offer rides for $2, because he believes adequate transportation is a human right that everyone should be provided. At the summer workshops, Morgan learned that many people in Lee County aren’t aware of the services COLTS offers. He said he hopes the new “COLTS Stops Here” signs will increase the system’s visibility. “If this takes off, it’s going to open up more doors for us to prove to the federal government that we deserve more funding to support a

bigger route,” Morgan said. “Nationally, we’re seeing a big push to get public transportation on the front burner, especially with the energy crisis.” Davidson said COLTS is already brainstorming other future endeavors, but which of those plans become a reality ultimately comes down to funding. But for now, she said she is excited about the possibilities the new route could offer. “It’s step one to a future of hopefully offering people more stops and giving people what they want,” Davidson said.

Day. Voters, depending on where they live, will be able to weigh in on the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House District 2, the state Senate District 18, the state House District 51, the district attorney in Judicial District 11, Lee County Sheriff, Lee Clerk of Court, and the Lee County Board of Commissioners. Incumbents for the Lee County Sheriff, Clerk of Court and Board of Commissioners District 1 are running unopposed this year.

Political activists have been busy in recent months, with Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians alike claiming they can help to alleviate lingering economic woes in Lee County. Lee Republican Party Chairman Linda Shook, who is also in a race for re-election this fall, said her party is actively making phone calls to encourage the local base to turn out at the polls. In the meantime, Shooks said she is going door to door to spread the conservative mes-

sage. “There is a lot of enthusiasm between the conservative voters,” Shook said. “That doesn’t include just Republicans.” GOP operatives have said they expect to pick up local, state and federal offices in this election, with voter anxiety over the economy still at a high. Lee County Democratic Party Chairman Ty Stumpf said his party is contacting registered Democrats as well. Historically, Democrats

have fared well when early voting and overall voter turnout is high. “Our biggest message is we’re encouraging voters to come out and for Democratic voters to vote early,” he said. Stumpf said early voting is a plus for those who can’t fit in a trip to the polls on Election Day.

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

Get informed before you head to the polls

t the request of our readers, The Herald made every effort this year to not only get our election candidate profiles and most of our Q&A results published by the start of early voting, but we also bumped up our yearly political forum, which was held Oct. 7 and can currently be viewed online at sanfordherald.com. Credit the sense of urgency to our desire to inform voters before they head to the polls, even the early birds who are taking advantage of one-stop voting, which begins today and runs through Oct. 30 in Lee County and throughout the state. Elections in our area have

enjoyed better-than-average turnout in recent years, and even though there’s not a president on the ballot (or even a contested sheriff race), we expect turnout to again exceed expectations. Not that this year’s line-up in Lee County doesn’t have its intrigue. Take the U.S. 2nd Congressional District race between incumbent Democrat Bob Etheridge and Republican challenger Renee Ellmers. Etheridge has owned Central North Carolina at the polls, soundly defeating challenger Dan Mansell by 65-35 percent margins in the last two election cycles. But some believe Ellmers could pull the upset thanks to overall poor national

opinions on the job lawmakers are doing in D.C. and thanks to a moment of poor judgment on Etheridge’s part that wound up on more than a million desktops via YouTube earlier this year. Can Etheridge survive the national push to lean the U.S. House to the right? Ellmers has garnered national attention, but has she reached voters in her district? The North Carolina House District 51 race between incumbent Jimmy Love Sr. and Republican challenger Mike Stone feels much like the Etheridge-Ellmers race in that Stone could benefit from a strong Republican appearance at the polls. Like

Ellmers, however, Stone has to overcome a popular longtime politician and like Ellmers, he has to overcome a few gaffes that have marred his bid. For Ellmers, it was a disastrous CNN interview about the proposed New York City mosque, and for Stone, it’s a lawsuit settled in 2006 that alleges he contributed in maintaining illegal satellite feeds from DirecTV and profited from it. And don’t count out the Lee County Commissioners race when it comes to drama. Republicans are vying for three seats that, if won, could alter the make-up of the current board of commissioners. Should the Democrats pull the sweep in-

stead, you’re looking at a sound defeat for the local GOP, one that could take years to overcome. So we hope you’ve learned a thing or two about the men and women running for office in November over the past few weeks, and if you’ve missed any of The Herald’s coverage, visit our website and click “Election 2010” for all past election stories. And watch the two-hour forum (no registration necessary) or attend tonight’s event hosted by CEAD. Learn. Get out. Then vote. You earn the right to complain when things go wrong when you obtain that “I voted” sticker.

Raleigh spends

ALEIGH — For most of the past 50 years, presidents and lawmakers of both parties have badly mismanaged the finances of the federal government. ... But heaping scorn on the fiscal recklessness of Washington can’t get state and local politicians off the hook. It turns out that among the chief beneficiaries of the federal government’s deficit spending are states and localities. I’ve recently been updating my data on gross domestic product and government finances going back to the 1959 fiscal year, as part of research project on the perilous fiscal situation facing many of America’s state and local governments. ... What I found struck me as both fascinating and largely unrecognized even to fiscal-policy wonks: federal aid to states and localities is a major element of federal budget deficits. Since 1967, the federal government has run budget deficits in all but five fiscal years. These deficits have ranged from small (less than 1.5 percent of GDP in nine separate years, most recently 2006) to large (between 4 percent and 5 percent of GDP in nine years) to scary (about 9 percent in 2009 and so far in 2010). In all of those deficit-spending years, total federal grants to states and localities amounted to at least 40 percent of the federal deficit. In most years, a majority of federal borrowing went straight to state and local budgets. More recently, the trend has been even more exaggerated — since the return of deficit spending in 2002, after the brief bipartisan budgetbalancing of the late 1990s, virtually all of the federal deficit was consumed in revenue transfers to states and localities. Until last year, that is. With the support of outgoing President Bush, incoming President Obama, and most of the Congress, Washington responded to the recession with a panoply of federal bailouts and spending programs, driving deficits to unprecedented heights. States and localities got a good chunk of the borrowed money, to be sure, about 40 percent. But most of it went elsewhere. This isn’t just a fiscal issue. Most state constitutions forbid the practice of financing annual operating costs with borrowing. They do so for good reason. Access to easy credit is particularly dangerous for teenagers and politicians, for similar reasons. They lack the long-term incentive, and often the knowledge, to make wise decisions. It’s best to impose responsibility on them through ironclad budgeting rules. ... Evidently, states and localities would have increased their spending in the absence of federal borrowing. But access to its proceeds helped make state and local budgets larger than they otherwise would have been. Because most federally funded programs, such as Medicaid, schools, and highways, require state matching funds, the result can be calamitous for taxpayers in the long run. Easy credit is a “favor” that Washington should stop offering North Carolina. North Carolinians end up paying for it all, anyway. It would cost us less if the federal government “gave” us less.

Double standard

AN DIEGO — It’s awkward to ask a housekeeper, nanny or gardener if he or she is in the country legally. Even more so if the person is employed by a third party — i.e., a homebuilder or landscaping company — that provides a product or service to you. I know. I’ve asked. It’s not fun. It feels rude. That’s probably one reason why most Americans skip the exercise. Besides, most people don’t have a secret desire to play immigration agent. They just need work done. So they don’t ask, and the workers don’t tell. I once asked a prospective housekeeper if she had papers. She gave me a strange look. She wasn’t offended. She was shocked. She told me that she was working for more than 200 people in my neighborhood and surrounding areas, and that I was the first to ever ask that question. That’s a question you’d think someone like Lou Dobbs would think to ask. He’s a former journalist who spent more than three decades conducting interviews to get facts for stories. But apparently he never asked the legal status of people who worked on his property and provided other services. A couple of years ago, after I criticized him for soiling the immigration debate with dishonesty and demagoguery, the former CNN anchor responded by saying that I knew nothing about illegal immigration. I grant that I don’t pretend to be the expert that he does. I guess there’s just no substitute for first-hand experience. A recent report by The Nation, headlined “American Hypocrite,” claims that a yearlong investigation found that illegal immigrants helped maintain Dobbs’ multimillion-dollar estates in New Jersey and Florida and care for the expensive show horses used by his 22-year-old daughter, a champion equestrian. The article includes interviews with five undocumented workers, including some who met and had brief conversations with Dobbs — in Spanish, no less. That the workers were not authorized to work in the United States is not in dispute. The only issue is whether Dobbs knew, or should have known, that the contractors he relied on to provide the necessary labor — a South Florida landscaping company and a Vermont-based stable — hired illegal workers. Dobbs insists that he had no idea he benefited from illegal labor, and he calls the article a “political assault.” When approached by The Nation, neither of the companies used by Dobbs was very forthcoming about whether it made sure its workers were in the country legally. Yet, according to the article, there is no shortage of illegal immigrants working in either the landscaping or horse grooming industries. What’s most disturbing about the common practice of individuals using contractors and other third parties to obtain domestic labor is that it provides plausible

deniability when the hiring of illegal immigrants comes to light. The same people who have relied on illegal immigrant labor just shrug and insist they had no idea that the workers with whom they often had regular contact had no legal right to be in the country. Take California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, a Republican who urged a crackdown on those who employ illegal immigrants without disclosing the fact that she fit the profile. Through an employment agency, Whitman hired a housekeeper who was an illegal immigrant. Her defenders have tried to shift the blame to the agency, ignoring the fact that it was Whitman who hired her, paid her and had direct contact with her for nine years — and yet never raised the issue of legal status. While on the air, Dobbs also painted employers as convenient villains. As the article points out, in 2007 he said it was “ridiculous” that private firms would oppose requirements to verify the immigration status of their contractors’ employees. In the world according to Lou, employers are the bad guys who are too cheap to pay decent wages and thus dissuade Americans who might otherwise be thrilled to take hard and dirty jobs. Speaking of decent wages, one of the workers at the stable that cared for Dobbs’ horses told The Nation that he earned $500 a week. Not bad. Until you consider that the worker typically logged a 65-hour week, which translates into slightly better than minimum wage. He was also never paid overtime despite the fact that the law requires it. Who are we kidding? Americans aren’t remotely serious about stopping illegal immigration. They like to complain about it, at the water cooler, on talk radio, at the dinner table — even on television. Yet they have no qualms about using it for their benefit. They should be ashamed.

Today’s Prayer I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answered me. (Jonah 2:2) PRAYER: Father, help me to hear and listen to You when You want my attention. Amen.

I just wanted to get my two cents out about how the fall baseball league is being run in Northview. I had to pay $100 to get my boys on a team there, and it’s not really the price that gets me. It’s the fact that they won’t let anyone practice but once a week, if even that. Then there is supposedly no other field to practice on in Lee county that we don’t have to pay a fee to use, and that’s Parks and Rec that charges people to use any of their fields. What is the use of having a Parks and Rec if you can’t just go out there and play on the fields? The purpose of fall ball is to help keep the kids active and enjoying the sport. I have witnessed a lot of coaches yelling at the kids when they mess up or when they strike out. That’s not right, either. These are just kids, not adults who are getting paid the big bucks. I can’t say anything about the younger leagues, just the older ones. I think that if you can’t offer all your teams a place to practice at least twice or more times a week, then don’t have any leagues. They need to get their stuff together before they start having kids come out there and try to play. We have been out there since Sept. 13, and they still haven’t mowed the grass in the outfield.

Things to think about before you cast a ballot To the Editor: I am not a registered Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. My vote goes to the candidate who shares my views on the Constitution of the United States (the laws of this country), as written by my forefathers. I believe in it verbatim. I don’t need some corrupt politician or corrupt judge to interpret the words shall and shall not for me. I can read, and I possess a dictionary. Before you mark your ballot, have you thought about who is seeking your vote and will they live up to your expectations, as well as their sworn oath of office? After all, it’s your vote that they are seeking. Is that person interested in your needs and not the wants of the lobbyists with lots of “under-thetable cash”? Is that person interested more in taking your tax dollars and giving it to the parasites (those who don’t pay taxes, don’t work, never have and don’t plan to work; but prefer to live off of the taxes on the money you make) instead of spending those dollars to benefit those of us who do. After all, it is our money, not theirs. Is that person one who will vote his/her self a “nice raise and feather his/her nest with nice perks,” but forget about giving you a nice Social Security raise, stop spending your SS money on other programs and refuse to give you a tax break? I guess I could go on and on with these questions, but I won’t. If you have not understood my message by now, all that I would be doing is wasting my time, as well as yours. RUSSELL B.

6A / Thursday, October 14, 2010 / The Sanford Herald CANDIDATE Q&A: LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, DISTRICT 2

: What is your motivation for seeking this office?

DALRYMPLE: In 2008 I was elected to serve on the Board of Commissioners, filling out the un-expired term of the District Two seat. It has been a difficult, yet rewarding, experience. In these challenging times, I believe Lee County needs my style of leadership: positive, creative, energized and motivated to serve our citizens with honesty and integrity.

PARKS: I believe that our County is going in the wrong direction. I think that we have enough resources and value to offer companies to come to Lee County without having to bribe them. I also believe that our elected officials need to be more responsible with the tax money that is being collected and accountable for their decisions.

: What promises can you make to voters if elected?

DALRYMPLE: There are three things that the voters can be sure of if I am re-elected to serve the

citizens of Lee County: 1. I will always study the issues very carefully and never lose sight of the immense responsibility I have to make sound decisions for our citizens. 2. I will listen to the citizens of Lee County and represent them to the best of my ability. 3. I will always remember that it is my duty to serve the citizens of our county. My job is to work for you. 3. In your opinion, what are the five most critical issues facing Lee County government following the election? Without a doubt, job creation and economic development, education, public safety, planning for growth and adapting to the continued demands from Washington and Raleigh, (without financial support), while maintaining a quality level of service for our citizens. PARKS: I will be more responsible with your tax dollars by making sure that there is adequate review of budget requests, allocations, and contracts. I am not talking about micro managing; I am talking about Commissioners tak-

ing responsibility for the tax dollars allocated and making sure that they are being spent as approved.

: In your opinion, what are the five most critical issues facing Lee County government following the election? DALRYMPLE: Without a doubt, job creation and economic development; education; public safety; planning for growth and adapting to the continued demands from Washington and Raleigh (without financial support) ... all while maintaining a quality level of service for our citizens. PARKS: We need to ... 1. Improve the economy (we have fewer tax dollars due to job loss); 2. Stop job losses; 3. Fix deteriorating county/city resources (schools, roads, etc.); 4. Know where our tax dollars are being spent so we can see where we need to improve; 5. Obtain an updated Capitol Improvement Plan.

: What specifically should the board of commissioners do to address each of those specific issues? DALRYMPLE: â&#x2013; Job creation and economic development

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The BOC should take the lead in providing innovative direction for economic development, be more aggressive in partnering with our EDC, Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations to bring in quality businesses and industry, and strive to enhance our business climate for those that are already here. Commissioners should collectively and independently make the case that Lee County is â&#x20AC;&#x153;open for business.â&#x20AC;? Our county is the ideal location to site a business, raise a family and just enjoy the day or a weekend as a visitor. In these very competitive times, we are not only competing for jobs with our surrounding counties, we are competing on a worldwide field. Even the definition of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;jobâ&#x20AC;? is changing. Moreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; companies are exploring telecommuting and using more technology and less people. Twenty years ago leaders planned for interstate highways. Today the ones who will lead their communities to prosperity are talking about intellectual highways. We must all work together to initiate new ways to market our area and provide greater opportunities for our citizens. â&#x2013; Education â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It is also imperative that we work closely with the Lee

County Board of Education and Central Carolina Community College to improve and expand the educational opportunities for our students of all ages. Since joining the board of commissioners, I have seen the tremendous success of the STEM program at our middle schools, Lee Early College, and the Confucius Classroom at CCCC. Innovation and 21st century initiatives such as these prove that we have educational leaders that are moving into the future with a clear vision that will prepare our students to succeed in our rapidly changing world. Our job is to support their efforts and tell their story. â&#x2013; Public safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Board of Commissioners must remain steadfast in its continued support of our public safety officials. Insuring that they have the equipment and training they need to safely do their job protecting us is critical. â&#x2013; Planning for growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Growth is undoubtedly coming to Lee County in the next few years and we must be ready with a viable plan that is proactive, rather than reactive. Citizens want orderly growth that preserves neighborhoods and green spaces, sites areas for industrial and retail expansion, and controls traffic patterns. This type of managed progress can only enhance our sense of community and small-town charm that has attracted so many to our area over the years. Partnering with community groups that are working on this vision is imperative to the county as we grow. Adapting to the continued demands from Washington and Raleigh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The economic downturn has been very difficult for our citizens and also for county government. The last year has seen the budget cut by millions of dollars, staff members losing their jobs, and another change in health insurance coverage. Meanwhile, the demands on our budget from the state and federal levels increase. Our county staff is constantly being called on to do more with less, without sacrificing the service to our citizens and I am proud to say that they exhibit a level of professionalism and dedication that is humbling and inspiring to witness. The B.O.C. must do all we can to support our county employees. It is also es-

Parks

sential that we maintain a very frugal mindset where spending is concerned to keep our tax rate at its current level. Finally, we must make our voices heard in Raleigh and Washington that the financial burdens on the county level are disproportionately high compared to those on the state and federal levels.

PARKS: â&#x2013; For the economy, we need to review what the County is doing or not doing that keeps industry out. With all the resources we have in N.C., we should not have to bribe industry to locate in Sanford. We should review our business taxes, overall tax burden, and electrical rates. We have well-built, fair-priced housing and land, abundant water and electrical services. â&#x2013; To improve employment, we need to get small business citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; input about what the County is doing right and what it needs to do to help businesses put people back to work. We also need to make certain our schools and colleges are turning out students that are educated, trained, and ready to assume positions that become available. â&#x2013; The commissioners need to determine why our county and school buildings are deteriorating and see to it that officials are being held accountable for the use of the tax dollars allocated to keep our investments in good shape. The only reasons for our older schools being in bad shape are poor engineering, poor construction, and poor maintenance. These items need to be fixed before we start any new projects. â&#x2013; We need to conduct periodic reviews of allocated resources so that we know for certain the resources are being used as approved. â&#x2013; I believe that we need a road map of where we are going. Our CIP is outdated; we have new demographics that have different desires; and new opportunities to help Lee County become one of the most desirable Counties to live in. We need to make sure that we can meet the needs of the people who are paying the bills.

: What role do you hope to play in addressing each of those issues? DALRYMPLE: â&#x2013; Job Creation and economic development â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In collaboration with Broadway, Sanford, Lee County and the Lee County Economic Development Corporation a new economic development policy was recently created. It is much more flexible and allows

Continued, Page 7A

Local Continued from Page 6A

for participation of smaller businesses. The new policy also creates a new relationship with the LCEDC and the three funding boards. It requires quarterly meetings of the four boards to hear a report from the LCEDC and share ideas and concerns greatly improving communication and accountability. I will continue to strongly support and participate in this collaboration because it results in stronger, more unified efforts to bring in new business and retain existing ones. This means more jobs and a larger tax base, which is key to making life better for our citizens by lowering the unemployment rate, and hopefully one day lowering our tax rate. I have also been networking across the state for the last two years to learn successful strategies for business recruitment and retention in order to implement them here in Lee County. Our citizens need jobs and the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic engine needs to be fueled with innovative thinking and tireless efforts on the part of its leaders. I will work as hard as I can to find solutions for our economic challenges and opportunities for our county. â&#x2013; Education â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I will always be a strong advocate for improving education. A positive educational environment in a county creates good citizens and a well-trained workforce. It also sends a message that we value quality education and that is what business and industry look for when they consider an area. â&#x2013; Public safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the commissioner representative on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, I am committed to supporting programs and initiatives to reduce our juvenile crime rate. When our young people become involved in criminal activities they neglect their education and sacrifice their future. We must all work together to give them opportunities that will lead them in a positive, productive direction. â&#x2013; Planning for growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Working with other county leaders and stakeholders, I will work hard to initiate a clear vision of the future of our county. We all want orderly growth that will protect our neighborhoods and green spaces, as well as provide strategic placement of businesses, industry and public facilities. We must be proactive to growth, not reactive. â&#x2013; Adapting to continued demands from Washington and Raleigh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Since I have been on the board of commissioners, I have seen first-hand how, when there is an economic downturn, the leaders in Washington and Raleigh push the fiscal responsibility down to the county level. This puts an unfair burden on local governments and it must stop. Working with commissioners across the state and on a national level, I hope to help change this trend. PARKS: I believe that Commissioners need to be more responsive to their constituents by setting up forums where they listen to individuals and small businesses. I have found that we have a lot of intelligent residents and current and retired businessmen who have a wealth of knowledge and background that can be used for input on how to make our economy better. We also need to work more with our educational resources to ensure that our students are the best

The Sanford Herald / Thursday, October 14, 2010 / 7A to fill jobs. I believe that our commissioners need to be more responsible in setting tax rates to provide needed services and obtaining specifics about how the tax dollars are to be spent. Once funds have been allocated, audits need to be conducted to ensure the funds are being spent as directed. Commissioners also need to be more accountable to their constituents by doing their research and being ready to justify decisions.

: Assess the performance of the current office-holders youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeking to join. DALRYMPLE: It has been an honor to serve on the board for the last two years. We are all very different and come from varying backgrounds. Because of this, I think we bring many perspectives to the table, which results in very open-minded debate and helps us to arrive at decisions that are best for the county. This past year has been tough, budget-wise, and next year will also present challenges. The board is determined to be very fiscally conservative to avoid any property tax increase. Just as families have to set priorities in spending, the county government should be equally responsible. This board does a good job in fostering cooperation with other boards and governing bodies in the county. The members are engaged in the business of the county and take their office seriously. PARKS: I think the current board has performed poorly. I have seen decisions made in support of projects and incentives that have had no specifics on which to base their vote. I have not seen where they have followed their decisions with audits to assure that funds have been spent where they were designated.

DALRYMPLE: My opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of Lee County is all â&#x20AC;&#x153;gloom and doom.â&#x20AC;? That couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more wrong. Instead of dwelling on the negative, I believe in accentuating the positive and using whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to make things better. Lee County needs leadership that understands that this is the best place to live, work and play energetically sell that point at every opportunity. Citizens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want politics. They deserve well thought out, common sense, sound government and accountability . We all want the best for our tax dollars and the lowest tax rate possible. This is the mindset I bring to the board.

PARKS: Lee County has an abundance of resources: fair land and housing; trained or trainable human resources; environmental resources (water; electrical); churches; and cultural activities (from tractor shows to theater). If we improve our schools, electrical and business rates, and taxes, I believe we could have the best county in the nation, and we could market it as such.

: What makes you a better candidate?

PARKS: I gained extensive experience as a Federal Employee and contractor/consultant in working with the public and unions and in contracts and budgeting. I believe this background gives me the experience necessary to help the County recover. I have seen what happens when contracts have or do not have specifics to hold people accountable and what that can do to budgets. I also know what happens when people are not held accountable for their decisions.

: How would you â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellâ&#x20AC;? Lee County to a prospective resident or business? DALRYMPLE: Lee County is a great place to live, work and play! We have the all the advantages of a small-town lifestyle, plus the offerings of big cities nearby. Citizens of Lee County enjoy a strong sense of community. We value our children and appreciate the experience and contributions of our seasoned citizens. Our county has so much to offer that enhances oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. It is a wonderful place to start your

: What initiatives will you bring to the table as a commissioner if elected? DALRYMPLE: Being an effective commissioner means listening to the people, getting educated on the issues, and working very hard to find solutions. All of these I do on a daily basis. I believe I bring an energy and enthusiasm that is unique to the board, as well as a strong work ethic to serve the citizens of Lee County. PARKS: Did not answer

: Discuss the following: taxes, budget and finances in Lee County; funding of Lee County Schools; Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incentives policy DALRYMPLE: â&#x2013; Taxes, budget and finances of Lee County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It has been a challenge to balance the budget, meet the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial obligations, and avoid raising taxes. Our success in this is due to the caliber of our county staff. Their expertise and commitment to excellence for our citizens never ceases to amaze me. It is when times are tough that you really see the talent and dedication of employees: to go the extra mile, find creative solutions, and do more with less. We face another challenging year

and the lessons learned will be applied to this upcoming budget session. It is imperative to keep the county in good financial standing and avoid tax increases. I hope to be serving on the board when we can, one day, lower our tax rate. â&#x2013; Funding Lee County Schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For capital projects, the sales tax revenue, coupled with necessary lottery funds should meet these needs. For other budget concerns, the board of commissioners should continue to work closely with the school board to insure that our students have the quality education they deserve. â&#x2013; Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incentive policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;incentive policyâ&#x20AC;? is only a part of the economic development plan. Incentives are public-private investment agreements between the LCEDC and a business. Our contracts are written so that the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return will always be greater than the investment. Agreements that create jobs and add revenue to the county make good business sense. PARKS: â&#x2013; Taxes, budget and finances of Lee County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In order for Lee County to move forward, I would insist on audits of school budget allocations/expenditures and agreements made by the EDC for incentives. Without knowing specifically what has been committed, the county does not know what is needed to provide necessary services. The next thing I would do is determine what the businesses and people of the county want in terms of needed or desired services and how much we can fund.

â&#x2013; Funding of Lee County Schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The County is responsible for providing the necessary facilities for the students to attend school. I would find out where the current funds are currently going, determine if the school budget is reasonable, and determine the level of taxes needed to fund our schools. I would also insist that the State be accountable for funding their portion of the school program. We also need to review the current commitment for rebuilding Lee Senior High School. The Commissioners are responsible for taxing, allocating funds, and over sight of the contract. I do not believe that the current contract provides the necessary provisions to see that the tax dollars in the best interest of the public. I would review the current contract, see if there are any areas that do not protect the interest of the tax payers and hold the parties responsible to meet the agreement. â&#x2013; Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Incentives policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I do not believe the incentive program is working. From all indications, our tax dollars have been used in an irresponsible manner. The EDC needs a complete overhauled or to be disbanded. The present Commissioners, with the exception of Linda Shook, has forsaken their responsibility to see that they have enough specifics to make realistic decisions and have not conducted any audits to see if the cost benefit is in the best interest of Lee County. I would insist on a complete review of the EDC and their track record.

RELIEF When I ďŹ rst came into Ammons Chiropractic Clinic, I was suffering from severe pain and/or numbness in my neck, shoulder, arm, back, leg, hip, and foot. The pain affected my way of life tremendously. For instance, my movement was limited and I had the inability to stand up straight or bend over. I felt like I had to be careful of every step that I took because of a fear of falling. Previous doctors treated me with various pain medications and steroids that were not effective. After treatment at Ammons Chiropractic, I felt a world of difference. I liked the treatment because they brought relief and freedom from all pain. My posture also improved drastically and I am able to stand up straighter as a result. My range of motion and ability to move around has improved about 80% from what it was before I began treatment here. My life has truly changed dramatically and I feel 10 years younger because I am now stable on my feet and have my center of gravity back. Chiropractic has also eliminated other ailments and pain that medical doctors have been unable to diagnose. For example, I was told 18 years ago that I had Bursitis in my shoulder and arm. The symptoms of Bursitis would alert me two days in advance before it would rain, but after chiropractic care I kept getting caught in the rain without an umbrella and could not realize why. I now realize that it is because I have no pain and I owe it all to Ammons Chiropractic. I highly recommend chiropractic care as a prevention measure along with yearly visits to the dentist and general physician. I am truly thankful for Ammons Chiropractic! Lisa A. Winkie Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions.

Thomas eyes being a ‘great receiver’

Southern scores two in OT to remain unbeaten in conference play HOPE MILLS — It certainly wasn’t as easy as most of Southern Lee’s games in the Cape Fear Valley Conference this year, but it counts the same. The Cavs notched two goals in overtime Wednesday night on the road to beat Gray’s Creek 4-2. Rolando Sanchez scored within two minutes of the game’s start for the Cavs, but the Bears answered with two goals before the half to take a 2-1 lead into the break. Rogelio Vivas scored in the second half on an assist from Ben Holt, who had the team’s last three assists, to tie it up. Christian Navarro scored with six seconds left in the first overtime period, then Carlos Flores scored in the second overtime to put the game out of reach. The Cavs are now 14-2 overall and a perfect 7-0 in conference play. They host Overhills on Monday, then have a showdown with Union Pines on the road on Wednesday.

BASEBALL Yanks delay setting their rotation against Rangers NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees have delayed setting their AL championship series rotation against the Rangers. CC Sabathia will start Friday night’s opener in Texas, and A.J. Burnett will pitch Game 4 in New York on Tuesday — his first appearance since Oct. 2. Yankees manager Joe Girardi wouldn’t say whether he’ll stick with the first-round order, when Andy Pettitte pitched Game 2, followed by Phil Hughes. Speaking before Wednesday’s workout, Girardi said he wanted to talk with his scouts before making a decision. One factor was whether to pitch his two left-handed starters, Sabathia and Pettitte, in consecutive games. “We’ll look at numbers. We’ll look at a lot of different things,” Girardi said. Before the workout, Burnett pitched a simulated game.

BASEBALL Gonzalez takes over for Cox in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) — Talk about a seamless transition. Less than 48 hours after Bobby Cox wrapped up his managing career, the Atlanta Braves introduced his protege, former Florida manager Fredi Gonzalez, to take over the job Wednesday. The decision was widely expected since Gonzalez was fired in June by the Marlins. Cox had announced more than a year ago this would be his final season, and his two-decade-long tenure ended with a loss to San Francisco in the NL division series Monday night. Cox held a farewell news conference at Turner Field, reminiscing about a career that left him as the fourth winningest manager in baseball history and a likely Hall of Famer. As soon as he was done, the Braves introduced Gonzalez as their new manager, with Cox as his side. “This is perfect for us on so many levels,” general manager Frank Wren said.

Campbell’s Junard Hartley drives to the basket last year. Hartley and teammate Lorne Merthle were named to the Atlantic Sun’ preseason all-conference team Wednesday by the league’s head coaches.

Hartley, Merthie named to A-Sun preseason team By STAN COLE Campbell Sports Information

BUIES CREEK — Junard Hartley and Lorne Merthie of Campbell University have been named to the Atlantic Sun preseason all-conference men’s basketball team in voting by league head coaches. Hartley and Merthie are two of CU’s three returning starters from last year’s squad that shared the A-Sun regular season championship and set school Division I era (since 1977-78) records for regular

season (19-11) and conference (14-16) victories. “I’m pleased that the coaches have recognized the solid play from our back court, and feel like they’ll be instrumental in league play again this year. I think they’ve certainly earned that honor,” said Robbie Laing, the 2010 A-Sun Coach of the Year. “We know that what Junard and Lorne did last year does not guarantee future success, but this is recognition that they’re capable of it.” In addition, Campbell has been picked to finish sixth in

A-Sun polls of both league coaches and media members. “It’s interesting to me that with the accolades our back court has received, we weren’t picked any higher than sixth,” said Laing, who is entering his eighth year in charge of the program. “Given the choice of returnees, I’d much rather have my guards back than any other position. Hopefully, their play will be good enough to once again silence the doubters. When it comes right down

CHARLOTTE — Devin Thomas is known for appearing in a music video with Fantasia, for his modeling work and for a picture that made the rounds on Twitter showing him sleeping in a Washington Redskins film room. One thing Thomas hasn’t done is become a reliable NFL receiver. He’ll get another shot with the desperate Thomas and winless Carolina Panthers. A week after the Panthers waived receiver Dwayne Jarrett, a disappointing former second-round pick whose work ethic was questioned, they’ve replaced him with another disappointing former second-round pick whose work ethic has been questioned. Thomas is even wearing Jarrett’s old No. 80. Oh, and Charlotte is where Fantasia lives these days. But the 23-year-old Thomas insists his focus is not on modeling or music, but football and proving Redskins coach Mike Shanahan wrong for waiving him last week. “I think I was in the doghouse just because of that situation,” Thomas said Wednesday. “It wasn’t because of my skills or my ability to run routes or knowing the playbook.” Just like Jarrett, the 45th overall pick in 2007 who was let go following his second arrest for a driving while impaired charge in three years, Thomas was accused of being a bad route-runner and not

Heels’ Williams still knocking off the rust

‘Silver Fox,’ Allison, Jarrett lead second class into Hall

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Deunta Williams knew he would hear it from his teammates. After Williams gave up a 74-yard touchdown pass against Clemson, North Carolina’s coaches quipped the play should’ve knocked off any rust Williams felt after sitting out four games on an NCAA suspension. Teammates even teased him by saying that when he jumped for the pass, he didn’t get high enough to hurdle a notebook. Williams took it all with a good-natured smile. He was just Williams happy to be back. An all-Atlantic Coast Conference safety last season, Williams was suspended for receiving more than $1,400 in improper benefits when he took two trips to California to visit former Tar Heels safety Omar Brown.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — David Pearson finally received his spot in the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Wednesday, earning the most votes a year after the 105-race winner was surprisingly excluded from the inaugural class. The Silver Fox received 94 percent of the vote and was the first of the five inductees called by NASCAR chairman Brian France. He immediately received a standing ovation from those gathered in the Great Hall of the Hall of Fame. He insisted he wasn’t upset that he had not made it in with the first class. “There was no sting about the first place, a lot of people thought there was, but I knew three weeks before I wasn’t going in,” Pearson said. Considered the only “lock” of this class, Pearson said he was never certain

By KATHY McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — Almost 200 golfers turned out for the biggest and best yet Golf Classic fundraising tournament sponsored by the Central Carolina Community College Foundation. The 21st annual event, held Sept. 22 at Quail Ridge Golf Course, has raised more than $40,000 so far, with donations still coming in. In the last five years, more than $150,000 has been raised by the tournament. The funds are used primarily for scholarships for students at the college’s campuses and centers in Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties as well as those taking classes by distance education. The money also helps to sponsor summer technology camps for community youth and faculty training. “This is definitely the best tournament we’ve ever had,” said Phil Bradley, of Sanford, who has headed the foundation’s golf committee since the event began in 1989. “We couldn’t do it without all our sponsors, volunteers and those who participate. We particularly want to thank The Pantry, Inc./Kangaroo Express for being our major sponsor this year, the first one we’ve had in the tournament’s history.” A total of 188 players hit the links in foursomes, playing in Superball/Captain’s Choice tournaments in the morning or afternoon. “My foursome from Chatham County had a great time playing, even

Williams said he took the first trip with cornerback Kendric Burney, who will serve the last of a six-game suspension this weekend, and the second trip with his girlfriend. The NCAA required Williams to repay $450.67 to a charity of his choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Brown) swiped his card for our hotel, and we reimbursed him with cash,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that would have been a problem. Our relationship has been a big-brother, little-brother relationship for about four years, so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was an issue.â&#x20AC;? Williams found out the day before North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener against LSU that he was among 13 players who would

knowing the plays after being the 34th pick in 2008 out of Michigan State. The 6-foot-2 Thomas managed just 40 catches for 445 yards and three touchdowns with the Redskins, scarily similar to Jarrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35 catches for 428 yards and one TD. When the old-school Shanahan took over in Washington in the offseason, he was turned off by Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort on the field and his modeling and music video work of it. Then there was the picture Washington teammate Brandon Banks

not play amid the NCAA probe. He sat out one more game before hearing that he would miss a total of four contests. Unlike some of his suspended teammates, Williams didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up at Kenan Stadium on game days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would hurt too much to be here and actually be able to see the game and not be able to play in the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I stayed at home with my family and my friends.â&#x20AC;? Against Clemson, Williams returned with five tackles and a forced fumble, although he said his excitement led him to make more mistakes than usual. That was evident on the long touchdown pass to Jaron Brown, which Williams could have prevented by taking a better angle to the ball. Williams expresses no ill will about his suspension. His focus is on the seven regular-season games he has left, not the four he missed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always believe that everything that happens in your life is according to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to work out for the good,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think that going through that whole process, it made me appreciate playing and made me appreciate this time that I have here left much more.â&#x20AC;?

took in the preseason of Thomas asleep in a film room. Banks posted it on Twitter, angering Thomas because he claimed it was taken during a break between meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to close my eyes for a second and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know my fellow receiver would take a picture like that which is a no-no,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never have a phone in the meeting and then he put it on Twitter. He was reprimanded for it. He had to apologize to the team and to me. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it was. Once it leaked out the media ran with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case to lowball me just to move up.â&#x20AC;?

Campbell was also chosen sixth in the 2009-10 preseason poll, but finished five places higher in a four-way tie for the regular season title. A senior guard from Atlanta, Ga., Hartley was named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year in 200910. He led the conference in assists (5.93) and steals (2.57) and ranked 2nd in assist-turnover ratio (1.91). In conference regular season games, he also rated 12th in free throw percentage (.732). Overall, Hartley averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds, while shooting 73.1 percent from the line and 40.9 percent from the floor. Hartley was also tabbed Mid-Major Defensive All-American by CollegeInsider.com and secondteam all-state by the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09-10. The 2007 graduate of Whitefield Academy enters his senior season having started 84-straight games. He already ranks third among Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career assists leaders (440) and 16th in the Atlantic Sun Conference in 90 games. Hartley rates first among active A-Sun players in career assists and steals (164). He also stands 26th among A-Sun all-time steals leaders and fifth in school history. Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman (132) and sophomore (130) assist totals stand 11th and 12th, respectively in CU Division I era singleseason records, while his junior total (178) is third-most. He has scored in double figures 17 times with six doubledigit assists outings in his career. Hartley dealt a careerhigh 13 assists in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Stetson and twice grabbed a career-best 7 steals in wins at North Florida and

at home against East Tennessee State. A junior guard from Sanford, Fla., Merthie led the league last season in 3-point field goal percentage (.452) in ASun regular-season play. Overall, he ranked second in 3-point accuracy (.411) and fifth in threes made per game (2.3), while standing 23rd in scoring (10.6) and second in steals (2.0). He also shot 79.2 percent from the foul line. On four occasions, Merthie snared a careerhigh five steals during the 2009-10 campaign, He tallied a career-high 24 points in CUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over Appalachian State on 9-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-6 threes. The 2009 A-Sun Freshman of the Year is already one of the top 3-point shooters in Campbell and A-Sun history. In just two years, he stands ninth on school career charts for treys made (121) and attempted (298), while ranking fifth in 3-point percentage (.406). He enters 2010-11 as the second-most accurate 3-point shooter among active A-Sun players with at least 100 career threes made. The 2008 graduate of Winter Springs High School has scored in double figures 28 times in 60 games and is a career 78.8 percent free throw shooter, which stands fifth-best in CU Division I (since 1977-78) records. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting back court helped the program ranked second in the nation in team steals per game (10.5) during 2009-10 and eighth nationally in turnover margin (plus-4.1).

A-Sun coaches and media members agreed on each of the top six spots in the pre-season poll. Lipscomb was tabbed to win both the regular season and tournament crowns, followed by 2010 tourney champ East Tennessee State, Belmont, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State and Campbell. North Florida, Mercer, Stetson, Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate rounded out the coaches poll. The A-Sun media selected Mercer as its seventh-place finisher, followed by UNF, FGCU, Stetson and Upstate. ETSU led the preseason all-league squad with three representatives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tommy Hubbard, Mike Smith and Micah Williams. Lipscomb senior center Adnan Hodzic was a unanimous choice as pre-season player of the year and joined on the pre-season all-league team by teammate Josh Slater. Campbell and Belmont (Ian Clark and Mick Hedgepeth) also placed multiple members on the 12-man unit. In addition to Hartley and Merthie, the Camels also return a pair of regulars in senior post man Preston Dodson (6.4 points per game in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09-10) and Amir Celestin (4.6 points, 1.2 steals).

All About Cotton

Cotton is a product that has been widely used for thousands of years. It was known to be used in Ancient Egypt and China and may predate written history. Cotton has many practical uses and has been used to make clothing, paper, coffee filters, towels and linens, medical bandages, gun powder, and even hoses. There are several different kinds of cotton. Pima cotton is grown mainly in the United States. Egyptian cotton is grown in Egypt and is considered to be a luxurious brand of cotton. In the U.S., cotton is mainly grown in the southern states, because it needs a warm climate. Planting generally begins in February and harvesting of the crops, typically ready in five to six months, takes place around July. Before 1793, cotton was not a big earner for farmers. Cotton is tedious to clean by hand, hence requiring a lot of labor. In 1793, Eli Whitney invented a machine that would separate the seeds from the desired fibers. In modern farming of today, machines usually plant, harvest, and process the cotton, requiring much less labor and increasing the profits. Cotton is now the largest cash crop in the United States, producing approximately $4 billion dollars in revenue each year.

8B / Thursday, October 14, 2010 / The Sanford Herald DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Couple flirts with marriage for a second time around DEAR ABBY: Do you have any data on the success of remarrying your ex-spouse? After being married to my husband for 25 years, we divorced due to his infidelity. We have been divorced for eight years and have had no contact. A family member’s funeral brought us face-to-face again, and we have been in touch ever since. Neither of us has remarried or been in a relationship. We realize that we still have feelings for each other and have discussed remarrying in the future. I love him, but I’m wary of being hurt again. What do you think? Does remarrying your ex ever work? — HAVING SECOND (TIME) THOUGHTS

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You cannot move forward positively unless you do so with a clean slate. Get rid of the clutter in your life and your home. Be creative in the way you approach your personal situation and your living arrangements. Progress will be made if you are moderate and travel light. Your numbers are 3, 12, 16, 21, 27, 33, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make your decisions based on sound advice and only after you have given plenty of thought to the possible outcome. Partnerships can go either way, depending on your diplomacy. Respond cordially. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your current status can be enhanced through a position you apply for or the company you keep. Don’t let your emotions get in the way of a business decision. Plan something special with your current partner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is money to be made but you mustn’t make purchases based on speculation. Take it one step at a time and you will acquire greater stability in both your personal and financial lives. Share your ideas or partner with someone who can contribute to your game plan. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will attract negative and positive people. Filter through what’s being offered and asked for and consider who can come through for you. Emotional matters will escalate and additional burdens may be placed on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put love on hold and sort out what you are doing professionally. Once you have your finances in order, you can approach the people you care about regarding your plans. Having a concrete idea to work with will make the difference. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mistakes made can sometimes be a saving grace. Rely on past experience to get you through

WORD JUMBLE

any confusion or uncertainty regarding a friend or dependent. You can gain ground if you look at the positives in your life instead of the negatives. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let criticism stop you from getting things done. Use what is said to better yourself so that your performance is improved and your understanding of what’s expected of you isn’t holding you back. The support you get will help you get back on track. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love is on the rise and a change in attitude will help you express your feelings, enabling you to move forward personally. Make alterations to your surroundings that will improve your work and emotional well-being. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Someone may throw you a curve ball and you will have to act fast to avoid being questioned about something you aren’t prepared to talk about. Honesty will be your only way out. An old relationship can disrupt your life if you let it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Someone you meet will challenge you or lead you in a direction that will confuse you regarding your beliefs and lifestyle. You may be attracted to someone you meet through work but, before you make a move, consider the outcome. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let your feelings lead you in the wrong direction. Avoid anyone who makes you feel inadequate. You have a lot more going for you than you realize. Believe in yourself and so will others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll tend to overreact and overdo but, in the end, that will be what attracts someone you are interested in to your side. There are exceptions that have to be considered which may mean reconnecting with someone with whom you had a falling out. Making amends will lead to a workable agreement.

DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: It can work, provided you’re both willing to deal with the issues that broke you up in the first place. By that, I mean that you must be ready to examine whether there was something missing in the marriage that caused your husband to cheat, or whether he has a character flaw and would repeat his infidelity. I strongly recommend you do this with the assistance of a licensed marriage counselor. If you both go through the process, remarrying your ex could work. If you don’t, you would be courting another dose of heartache.

o DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Nick” for more than a year. We have both been married before — Nick’s a widower, and I am divorced. He says he cares for me, but doesn’t feel passionate about me, nor does “love” describe how he feels about me. We are intimate, are great friends and spend almost every day together. He treats me great, dates no one else and I can be myself around him. But am I cheating myself by accepting the status quo? Our intimate times aren’t satisfying because of the lack of emotional ties, but I’m torn because I enjoy his company. I am confused. Any words of wisdom, Abby? — NOT QUITE FULFILLED DEAR NOT QUITE FULFILLED: You and Nick are friends with ben-

efits. Because you have no future with him beyond what you have now, and because intimacy with him is not satisfying because of his inability (or refusal) to emotionally commit — I’d have to say he’s reaping more of the benefits. The status quo is a substitute for what you really want, and yes, you are cheating yourself. o DEAR ABBY: I have been going through photo albums recently. Oh, the joy of seeing all those familiar faces again! However, when I turned the pictures over to verify people’s last names and the dates they were taken, I was disappointed to find them blank. The vacations depicted in the photos were wonderful, and I’m sure I thought we’d never forget the year. But the years go by.... So this is a reminder to take the time to label the back of photos with pertinent information. Believe me, it will be appreciated in later years. — SHUTTERBUG IN CANON CITY, COLO. DEAR SHUTTERBUG: The situation you describe is one that countless people have experienced — and something folks often don’t think about until it is too late. Thank you for the timely suggestion. It’s one that I hope readers will make the time to follow.

ODDS AND ENDS Dog gets new leash on life after euthanasia flub REDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit man whose Rottweiler was given a new leash on life after surviving a botched euthanasia said he has neither the heart nor the money to try the procedure again. Redford Township resident Matt Olivarez, 27, said he’s in a tough spot: facing possible home foreclosure while at the same time trying to do right by Mia, an 11-year-old pooch that he feeds by hand, partly because of her spinal problem that makes walking difficult. Olivarez said he took Mia to the Westcott Veterinary Care Center in Detroit on Saturday to alleviate her suffering. He said Westcott officials speculated afterward that the drug dosage wasn’t strong enough or had been watered down. He now shudders at the thought of almost burying his beloved pet alive. “I don’t know if I could do it a second time,” Olivarez told The Detroit News for a story published Wednesday. Olivarez said he returned to his garage Sunday morning and noticed Mia missing from where he’d placed her on a pile of hay the day before. He’d planned to bury her in his grandfather’s backyard. Instead, he turned to find her standing on all fours, staring at him. “Are you still my dog?” he said, saying he felt like he was living a scene from one of the scary movies he enjoys. “It was like a scene from ‘Pet Sematary.’” Olivarez purchased Mia, the only member of her litter to survive, around the time his first child was born. She was intended to be a companion for his sons, now 8 and 9. Olivarez tried to explain Mia’s resurrection to them Tuesday night. “It’s crazy,” he said. “It’s not something I planned for.” Meanwhile, Olivarez is seeking a new owner

Ore. company rents landscape goats to weed lot PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — About 50 goats were hired for an unusual job in Oregon, but one they obviously were born to do: lawn mowing. The animals were brought in to clear weeds from a two-acre lot in southeast Portland, drawing hundreds of onlookers. The idea came from Brett Milligan, whose Portland landscape company GreenWorks was hired to tend the lot. Milligan liked the idea of avoiding gas-powered mowers. Georgina Stiner, president of Goat Rental NW, says using goats instead of lawnmowers is hardly new, but says there is a growing interest for it in urban areas.

Police: Drunken men knocked at Pa. police station UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in southwestern Pennsylvania say they charged two men with public drunkenness after they knocked on a police station door. A Uniontown police report says 30-year-old Alan Scritchfield, of Uniontown, and 30-yearold Peter Dominick, of McClellandtown, came to the police station about 9 p.m. Sunday. A police sergeant says Dominick was slurring his words while Scritchfield was drinking out of a plastic cup. Asked what was in it, Scritchfield allegedly told police, “alcohol, Crown Royal” before saying he was drunk. Scritchfield’s home phone is disconnected. The Associated Press could not immediately locate a listed number for Dominick. Police say they subdued Dominick with a stun gun when he realized he was being arrested and tried to run away.

Pride can push Christ out of the way Q: Why is pride supposed to be a sin? I don’t see what’s wrong with taking pride in your work, or in your children, or things like that. -- D.S. A: You’re right up to a point; it’s not necessarily wrong, for example, to take pride (or satisfaction) in a job well done. In fact, the Bible urges us to work hard so we’ll be satisfied with the results. It says, “The diligent man prizes his possessions” (Proverbs 12:27). But even this kind of pride can become wrong -- if we end up taking credit for what we’ve done instead of thanking God for helping us. In other words, the kind of pride the Bible condemns is a pride that puts ourselves first, and leaves God out of the picture. When that happens, we take credit for everything we accomplish, and we live only to please ourselves. This is why pride is at the root of almost every other sin. Do you remember Jesus’ parable of the rich fool, who was wealthy in things but poor in soul? (You can read it in Luke 12:15-21.) He was proud of his wealth, and all he was concerned about was himself: “I’ll say to myself, ‘You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry’” (Luke 12:19). But that night he died -- and it was too late to turn to God. His pride became his downfall. Don’t let this happen to you. Instead, realize that you are a sinner and need Christ, and then humbly turn to Him in repentance and faith. Then make it your goal to live for Christ every day. The Bible says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5).
