Sixth grader’s unloaded weapon confiscated before student reached school By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — A sixth-grade student at SanLee Middle School was charged Tuesday with bringing an unloaded handgun and two pocket knives to school, according to a report from Lee County

Schools. The student, an unnamed 11-year-old male, faces juvenile petitions for one count of felony possession of a firearm on campus and three counts of misdemeanor possession of a weapon on campus. “Administration and staff at SanLee Middle School followed our emergency pro-

Much has changed about Grace Chapel in its 125 years, but not its one major belief: ‘The Bible is the word of God’ By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

ersonalities and styles of ministry have come and gone, cultural shifts have made their mark, but Grace Chapel Church has held to one constant throughout its history. “The strength of our church has always been, and still is, our belief that the Bible is the word of God,” said Senior Pastor Rudy Holland, who has served at Grace since 1998. The church is reflecting on its origins this month as it celebrates its 125th year as a body of believers. Grace had a roll of only 33 charter members when it was founded in 1885, and it has since grown into a congregation of more than 1,000 members. “We’re an aggressive, evangelistic church whose ministry is certainly Bible-

SANFORD — When Amy Dalrymple assumed the District 2 seat in a special election for the Lee County Board of Commissioners two years ago, the seat had been riddled with turnover. Past district representatives had come and gone before their terms were up, controversial replacements were named, and local Republicans struggled to push their candidate of choice. Dalrymple, a Democrat, ended up winning the vacant seat for two years in a specially called race in 2008, and now she’s trying to solidify her hold and earn a full four-year term with a second victory.

SANFORD — Charlie Parks thinks Lee County commissioners could do a better job. Asked to give a letter grade for the current panel, the GOP candidate for the District 2 seat on the Board of Commissioners handed out a “C-minus.” His opponent, Lee Commissioner Amy Dalrymple, gave the board an “A.” Nevermind that, Parks thinks locals are fed up with operations in Lee County government. “Tax money is being spent without any real oversight,” he said. “I think people are tired of seeing that.” Parks, the son of a Texas sharecropper and a longtime air traffic coordinator for the

AROUND OUR AREA MOORE COUNTY

Man charged in shootings wants trial moved

CARTHAGE (MCT) — Lawyers for the man accused of gunning down eight people in a Carthage nursing home in March 2009 are scheduled to be in court Wednesday to argue that the case be moved to another county so he can receive a fair trial. Lawyer Jonathan L. Megerian, who represents Robert Stewart, filed a change of venue motion Stewart May 5, saying more than 90 percent of the potential jurors in Moore County have already formed an opinion about Stewart’s guilt and the appropriate punishment, according to court documents. “There exists in Moore County so great a prejudice against the defendant that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial,” the motion says. Stewart, 47, is charged with eight counts of firstdegree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault by pointing a gun and one count each of discharging a weapon into occupied property and assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm. The charges stem from a March 29, 2009, shooting spree at the Pinelake Health and Rehabilitation Center that left seven patients and one nurse dead. A Carthage police officer confronted Stewart and shot and wounded him, though Stewart wounded the officer, as well. The hearing is set for 10 a.m. in room 202 of the Moore County Courthouse. — Fayetteville Observer

Shakori Hills group working to buy festival land

SILK HOPE (MCT) — The folks who run the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance are a little over one-third of the way toward their goal of raising enough money for a down payment on the festival grounds. They hope to make up a good bit of the remainder next weekend, when they hold the fall version of the biannual festival. “We did fairly well at the spring festival, but we looked at that one more as an opportunity raise awareness about the effort,” said festival organizer Sara Waters. “We hope most people have heard about it now and will be supportive when they come out to the fall festival.”

The Shakori Hills Commnity Arts Center, the nonprofit group that runs the festival, hopes to raise a total of $75,000 by March of 2011, when the current lease on the 72-acre former farm tract runs out. That’s the amount needed for a down payment on the property, which carries a $750,000 sale price. The group has raised $27,000 to date, Waters said. They raised about $15,000 during the spring festival and have collected the remainder largely through other fundraising events. — The Cary News

HARNETT COUNTY

More banks file claims against Mulkey estate LILLINGTON (MCT) — One of North Carolina’s biggest banks has joined a growing list of lenders claiming Raymond Lee Mulkey Jr. borrowed large sums and failed to repay before he killed himself this summer. Winston-Salem based BB&T loaned the Fayetteville businessman more than $4.5 million between 1999 and 2003 as startup capital for three of his premium financing companies, according to documents filed in Harnett County Superior Court. When Mulkey died Aug. 16, he still owed BB&T all of the principal on the loans, plus another $11,000 in late fees and interest, according to a claim filed against Mulkey’s estate Monday. The lender is among eight other banks and more than 15 individuals who say they invested with Mulkey over the years and appear to have lost millions. A lawyer representing BB&T did not return messages seeking comment. Mulkey, 63, left behind at least $40 million in unpaid debts and only $8 million in assets when he committed suicide outside a residence he owned in North Myrtle Beach. Some of his creditors say it appeared he falsified financial statements to defraud investors and banks. Dunnbased New Century Bank, which Mulkey helped establish 10 years ago, expects to write off up to $11 million in bad loans as a result of the apparent fraud, according to a regulatory filing last month. Four Oaks Bank in Johnston County expects to write off more than $4 million. As of Tuesday, New Century hadn’t filed any formal claims against the estate, according to court documents, but Four Oaks and other banks have. They include Horry County State Bank with $1.3 million, First Citizens Bank with $694,130, Synovus Bank with $704,300, First Tennessee Bank with $271,642, First South Bank with $319,582 and Carolina Bank with $435,515. — Fayetteville Observer

LITERACY IN LEE COUNTY

‘READ FOR THE RECORD’ PROGRAM COMES TO LEE COUNTY THURSDAY By ALEXA MILAN WANT TO GO?

amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Three Lee County organizations are joining forces this week to promote the importance of reading in early childhood. Lee County Partnership for Children, the Lee County Library and Child Care Resource and Referral will offer two opportunities Thursday for children and their parents to participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record program. Jumpstart, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring children are prepared to enter school, started Read for the Record five years ago. The nationwide campaign encourages communities to read the same book on the same day to set a record for the largest shared reading experience. Last year, more than 2 million children and adults participated. “It’s about creating a community where sharing education is encouraged, especially in those early years because young children really need that stimulation,” said Celeste Hurtig, community outreach coordinator at Partnership for Children. This year’s book is Ezra Jack Keats’ “The Snowy Day,” about a young boy named Peter and his adventures that ensue after he wakes up one morning to find the ground covered with snow. Past selections include “The Little Engine that Could” and “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” Lee County will host two events — one at 11 a.m. at the Lee County Armory and one at 7 p.m. at The McSwain Center — featuring activities,

crafts and a reading of “The Snowy Day” by Delisa Williams, assistant children’s librarian at the Lee County Library. “It’s one of my favorite stories,” Williams said. “It’s well written, and there are a lot of questions you can ask children about the story as we go along.” Child care centers throughout the county will also read the story, and any families who want to read it at home can report they read it by calling the Partnership for Children by Friday. “It teaches people how

for Children, if parents read with their children before they start kindergarten, it increases their chances of graduating high school by up to 30 percent. “Making people aware that this is an issue is something that we battle,” Hurtig said. “A lot of people aren’t aware that it’s important to read to a child before they reach the age where they can read themselves.” Williams said she hopes Thursday’s events will show families in the community that reading can be fun. She said by making the storytelling experience more interactive and engaging, children use their imaginations and often remember stories better. “As adults, we have to be a model of literacy for children,” Williams said. “We can do things with books through finger plays and rhymes and flannel board stories and even music. It helps the children to build their ever-growing vocabulary. We’re providing children with the tools for literacy.”

much fun books are,” said Judy Thomas, program manager for Child Care Resource and Referral. “It’s a way to extend the book and make it a fun learning experience for children.” The purpose of Read for the Record is to promote early literacy and encourage parents to read to their children before their children start reading for themselves. But not all children get that opportunity, leading to what Jumpstart calls an early literacy crisis. According to Jumpstart, nearly half of children from low-income neighborhoods start school up to two years behind their peers, and when they start behind, they tend to stay behind. “It provides opportunities for children to have the chance to be read to,” Hurtig said. “A lot of the problem is that these kids don’t have books at home, so they don’t get that opportunity.” Hurtig said another part of the problem is that people simply don’t know the benefits of reading to children early.

Motivation to check out our ‘jetport’

ts name is long and doesn’t roll off the tongue like “Sanford-Lee County Airport,” but The Raleigh Executive Jetport @ SanfordLee County — now its official name — adds more and more luster to Lee County with each passing year. Chief among the benefits it accrues are the economic pluses of such a facility, the exposure the facility brings to our market and the array of services it can offer to those with an interest in aviation. It’s not a commercial airport, but it will be a hub — at least so this Saturday at the 2nd annual “Family Day” event, which

features free airplane rides for children (ages 8-17) and much more. Last year’s inaugural event drew 3,500 souls. More are expected for this year’s offering, which will also feature two celebrity visitors. First is Jonathan Trappe, who landed himself in the Guinness Book of World Records this year after history’s longest “cluster balloon” flight. (He crossed the English Channel in a chair strapped to dozens of heliumfilled balloons, and plans to make a balloon demonstration Saturday as well.) Then there’s NASCAR driver Burt Myers, a driver on racing’s

Whelen Southern Modified Tour circuit who is also known for his appearance on the “Madhouse” series, which shows on TV’s History Channel. The focus, though, will be on experiential aviation. An assortment of aircraft, including helicopters and military and vintage airplanes, will be displayed. Those attending will have the chance to see the aircraft up close and talk with pilots, as well as view flyovers and a parachute team. The free flights will be a highlight and food vendors will be present. Parking and admission is

free for the event, which begins at 9 a.m. and lasts until 6 p.m. Some specialty aircraft rides will be available for a fee. The Jetport’s out-of-the-way location — off U. S. 1 at Exit 76 — and its focus on private and business aviation are likely reasons that many Lee Countians haven’t visited there. But Saturday’s event, which promises to be fun-filled (with near-perfect weather forecast) provides the perfect motivation to check it out. For more information, go to www.raleighexec.com.

Weather is a key in life

eather always seems to be a dominating topic of our conversation — and for good reason, as it has a major role in our lives. It helps us decide how we’ll dress for the day, or which activities we’ll participate in on a certain day and even has an effect on our heating and cooling costs. Well, I must confess that I am loving the current weather. For me, it’s warm enough I can continue to wear short sleeved shirts and cool enough that there’s no doubt the fall season is in the air. We’re fortunate to live in the Central Carolina area where the weather is generally good. Living on the coast or in the mountains has its benefits, I’m sure, but there’s nothing quite like Central Carolina. Consider that there was a dusting of snow this week at Clingmans Dome located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Good for the snow and good for Clingmans Dome. I’m not a big fan of snow and winter weather, so I’m hoping that it’ll hold off as long as possible. Consider that parts of eastern North Carolina, in the coastal area, are recovering from rains that led to flooding in some areas. It’s been reported by the Associated Press that in the town of Windsor, more than 200 businesses and homes were damaged. We’ve generally been blessed in avoiding such major league kind of weather events. We’ve had a hurricane or two that has left its mark, perhaps even some tornadic action from time to time, but nothing in recent memory as the folks in Windsor have experienced since the heavy rains came. The weather is an undeniable force of which we are constantly intrigued and amazed. We cannot stop the sun nor rain nor tornados nor snow nor sleet nor floods nor drought nor any other weather that comes our way. It’s important that we realize that major weather events could occur here. And, we should be prepared as best we can should a major weather event come our way. We need to stay alert, be grateful for the good weather and be prepared for whatever weather comes our way. Now, let’s enjoy this cooler, fall weather.

Today’s Prayer I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ ... may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Ephesians 1:17) PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came into the world to save us from sin, if we believe. Amen.

ASHINGTON — The Republican grab for Congress is being funded by a pack of wolves masquerading as a herd of sheep. How sweet and innocent they seem, these mysterious organizations with names like Americans for Job Security. Who could argue with that? Who wants job insecurity?

Letters to the Editor Stone’s violations make him unworthy for office To the Editor: It’s been weeks since The Herald reported that Councilman Mike Stone was ordered to pay more than $10,000 in damages to DirecTV and fees in US District Court for pirating satellite television. Since then, Stone has offered absolutely no proof of his innocence or of the claimed deal he struck with DirecTV. This incident isn’t a mere case of “he said, she said.” It’s a case of a city council member who was found liable who is attempting to downplay the seriousness of these charges. This is merely the latest example of Stone’s illegal activity. Also as reported in The Herald, Stone has violated alcohol laws, violated rental property codes (while renting out his substandard housing to a family that included children), and continually violated the Unified Development Ordinance. Even after The Herald ran a story about his UDO violations, he continued to ignore the law (a law enacted while he sat on the council) and instead forced taxpayers to pay for picking up his signs. Perhaps any one of these violations could be argued to be a mistake, but taken as a whole, they show a pattern of someone who ignores the law for his own benefit and then attempts to excuse his behavior when caught. Stone’s activities are unbecoming of an elected official, especially one who has been selected mayor pro tem. The city council should compel Stone to provide legal documentation to corroborate his claims involving the U.S. District Court case against him. If he is unwilling to do so, he should be stripped of the title of mayor pro tem. Furthermore, the council should begin an ethics investigation to determine if Stone has violated any law that would require removal from the council and take action accordingly. Stone claims he doesn’t “have the time,” but the council should insist otherwise. Continuing to hold Mike Stone up as mayor pro tem violates the fundamental agreement that the Council has with Sanford’s citizens. The citizens expect, at the least, that those making laws will actually follow the law. Anything less is unacceptable. TY STUMPF Chairman, Lee County Democratic Party

Democrats aren’t running on their accomplishments To the Editor: I can’t figure out who letter writer Mark Coggins thinks his audience is. So very much of his writings do not square with reality. There are so many discrepancies in his diatribe. His omission of the high misery of the worst president in American history before Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, is interesting. Carter’s interest rates touched on 15.3 percent, and inflation soared to 13.4 percent. Unemployment grew to 7.8 percent. Under Obama, the unemployment has settled at about 9.5 percent after reaching a high of over 10 per cent. The Democrats’ distortion of the Bush era really is exasperating. Look at the record of 2006: the Bush economy grew at 5.5 percent, representing economic growth for 18 straight quarters. Obama’s claim that Bush tax cuts led to deficits is contradicted by all records. Federal tax revenues actually gained following the tax cuts. We have lost millions of jobs since Obama began his mad spending. In addition, there has been astronomical debt acceleration, a recession bordering on depression, and business and consumer uncertainty everywhere. This is all prior to his other major tax hikes having even gone into effect. Democrats have turned politics to a matter of personal hate and personal destruction rather than running on their sorry record. They had no positive ideas since President Bush was elected in 2000. Not a single Democrat is running in this election based on their accomplishments. You didn’t see any evidence in Mr. Coggins’ letter of that, now did you. Wonder why. The policies of the present administration and congress have brought us massive government spending, higher taxes, radical homosexual rights, activist judges, rising health care, appeasement to our enemies religious persecution and a corrupt congress.

City second to approve MM incentive By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A local auto parts manufacturer received its second set of incentives in as many days Tuesday, as Sanford City Council members agreed to nearly $209,000 in tax breaks over the next five years for the company. With incentives critics like Mike Stone and Charles Taylor absent from Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, City Council members unanimously agreed to an incentives package designed to lure Magneti Marelli Powertrain USA into a $20 million equipment upgrade at its Nash Street plant. Lee County commis-

Parks Continued from Page 1A

Federal Aviation Administration, has risen to challenge Dalrymple this fall while calling for tight restrictions on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocketbook. That means independent audits for large branches of the government, including the Lee Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and Lee County Schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anywhere weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really spending, we need to take a good look at it,â&#x20AC;? Parks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see us doing that right now.â&#x20AC;? Parks, who is running his first bid for public office, said commissioners should trim local property taxes to make Lee County a more attractive and livable destination for companies and families alike. A former western U.S.

sioners approved more than $290,000 in tax breaks for the company Monday. The company, which employs nearly 300 workers in a 250,000-squarefoot facility, is in the running for a $20 million machine upgrade following its parent companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merger with Chrysler, said Bob Heuts, director of the Lee County Economic Development Corporation. The manufacturer creates engine components for major carmakers like Ford, General Motors and Toyota. Heuts said the upgrade could come bundled with as many as 34 new jobs, although the incentive agreement is contingent on

the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment and expanded tax value. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity for us to show that we really want this to happen here,â&#x20AC;? Heuts said Tuesday. Magneti Marelli has been troubled in recent years by lost contracts and job losses, officials said, although the recent merger with Chrysler is expected to open up expansion opportunities. Asked by Councilman James Williams if the incentives deal locks up the investment for Sanford, Heuts said Magneti Marelli has yet to set its course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a done deal yet,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re competing still.â&#x20AC;? Both Lee County and

Sanford will dispense the tax breaks over the fiveyear period of the contract with Magneti Marelli, chopping the incentives if the company does not make good on the expansion or invests fewer dollars in the project than expected. Council members like Stone and Taylor typically vote against incentive packages, which have drawn ire from some who say politicians are holding a high-stakes bidding war for companies with taxpayer dollars. Supporters of the incentive deals say they are necessary tools in the modern economy that increase the local tax base.

resident, Parks said states like Washington offered a low tax rate in the past that lured industries into settling near the Pacific Ocean. Lee County and North Carolina must do the same to compete, he said, adding that the economic incentives that are unpopular with so many are likely not the answer for bettering the Lee County economy. Parks said the EDC should pursue betterpaying â&#x20AC;&#x153;white-collarâ&#x20AC;? jobs that last longer than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue-collarâ&#x20AC;? spots shed by so many companies during the economic downturn. He said commissioners must also cut areas of unnecessary spending in the annual budget, pointing to nearly $75,000 allotted for struggling local nonprofits in the 20102011 budget as one area ripe for dialing back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody asks for money and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to

give it to them, but reality is we have a limited amount of money coming in,â&#x20AC;? Parks said. Parks said Lee County Schools needs shrewd attention as well, arguing the school system overspent on building Southern Lee High School. The relatively new school opened its doors in fall 2005. Parks said the county should have spent more on classroom supplies than on school construction. He said his experience managing budgets in the FAA makes him a sound choice for regulating Lee County finances. Parks also pointed to his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guidance when he was growing up the son of a Great Depression-era farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They survived the Depression and taught us how to keep a budget,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They taught us how to survive when times are lean.â&#x20AC;? Times are most cer-

tainly lean now for Lee County, Parks said, as unemployment rates soar into the double-digits. Parks said he opted to challenge Dalrymple on the Board of Commissioners because of what he viewed as mounting concern from locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their quality of life was going down,â&#x20AC;? Parks said. Meanwhile, Parks said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share Dalrympleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimism that the local economy is on the move. Recent unemployment figures show that the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate is on the decline and more jobs are becoming available, but Parks said the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax levy and business recruiting efforts are in need of a change to prevent locals from leaving the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My competitor says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on our way back up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that.â&#x20AC;?

children on a Broadway-area farm, Dalrymple said the short span between her first campaign in 2008 and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election makes for a daunting re-election bid this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot more respect now for lawmakers who have to run every two years,â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend it.â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple has led as a part of a Democratic majority on the Board of Commissioners since 2008, having entered politics to spur renovations at aging Lee County High School. Now that the high school has its cash in hand for repairs, Dalrymple said her top priority is economic growth, citing the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaring double-digit unemployment in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 3,000 people unemployed in the county,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So as a commissioner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to do the very best I can to make sure those folks get jobs.â&#x20AC;? Local Democrats and Republicans can agree on that, although they differ sharply on the details of accomplishing that growth. Dalrymple has thrown her support behind a number of controversial economic incentives since she took office, chief among them a $900,000 upfront payment to construction machinery maker Caterpillar this year in exchange for a lucrative, $28 million expansion expected to be saddled with more than 300 new jobs. Her opponent in the November election, Lee Republican Charlie Parks, has been critical of the operations of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recruiting engine, the Lee County Economic Development Corporation (EDC). But Dalrymple was instrumental in drafting a new contract this year for the embattled group, touting a new accord with increased flexibility in recruiting for the agency. The incentives, ac-

cording to Dalrymple, are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rule of the gameâ&#x20AC;? in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic climate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way businesses are doing business,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in good conscience not do that if it means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to get business growth in this county.â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple was also part of a board that scrambled to make ends meet during budget talks in 2009 and 2010, opting last year to shed 10 percent of the county governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor force. Officials said they ran another tight budget this year that maintained Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75cent property tax rate, a caveat that rankled local conservatives demanding even less spending and cuts to the tax levy. With looming local budget cuts a possibility from state lawmakers, Dalrymple said more bad news could be on the way if commissioners are to â&#x20AC;&#x153;hold the lineâ&#x20AC;? on local taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have to (cut jobs) again this year to balance the budget without raising taxes, we may have to go that route again,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something I want to do.â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said commissioners must continue to ramp up recruiting efforts like the one that landed Caterpillar this year, as well as market Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic location at the heart of the state and its much-touted public schools and community colleges. An economic turnaround has begun, according to Dalrymple, although she predicted the resurgence would be frustrating slow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the times like they are, we held the line on taxes,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise the taxes like other counties had to do. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some decisions that put the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;open for businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign up in Lee County and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see the return on that.â&#x20AC;?

STATE BRIEFS Judge upholds plea deal in Apex teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Wake County Superior Court judge has blocked prosecutors from yanking a plea deal they had struck with one of the people involved in an Apex teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder. Multiple media outlets reported that Judge Paul Ridgeway ordered Tuesday that the plea agreement with Aadil Khan should remain in place. Ridgeway ruled that prosecutors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show Khan breached the terms of the agreement. Prosecutors say Khan was uncooperative and inconsistent in the statements he gave. He never testified in the trial of Ryan Patrick Hare, who was convicted of first-degree murder last month.

Accused killer of chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter returning to N.C.

Johnston County school denies nose ring appeal RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Johnston County school officials have upheld the suspension of a 14-year-old student who says her nose piercing is an article of faith. The legal director of the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union says the school district made its decision Tuesday. Katy Parker says the ACLU is now weighing its legal options. The ACLU is representing Ariana Iacono, who has been suspended from Clayton High School since last month. Iacono and her mother belong to a religious group called the Church of Body Modification. The school says her nose stud violates the dress code, but the ACLU believes the Iaconosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights are being violated by the policy.

Court upholds dismissing claims in fatal chase

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man accused of killing the daughter of Concordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police chief is headed back to North Carolina after two weeks in a western New York jail. The Niagara County, N.Y., sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Tuesday that 34-year-old Michael Neal Harvey was picked up by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spokesman did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press seeking comment. Harvey is charged with murder in the death of 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton, the daughter of Concord police chief Merl Hamilton. Harvey was held in New York after his arrest in Niagara Falls on Sept. 20, a day after Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found stuffed in a storage locker.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A state appeals court has upheld the dismissal of claims against the town of Franklinton and members of the police department by the parents of two sisters killed in a high-speed chase in 2007. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday a Superior Court judge was right to throw out the case against the town, Officer Michael Dunlap and two supervisors. Eighteen-year-old Linsay Erin Lunsford and 9-year-old sister Maggie Rose died when a car being chased by Dunlap hit their car. Police were chasing Guy Christopher Ayscue, who was also killed. Chase speeds reached at least 90 mph.

Officials probe deaths of red wolves near coast

E-mail linked to House member responds to award

MANTEO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina wildlife officials are investigating the third death of an endangered red wolf in six months. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the body of a wolf was found Monday at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in Dare County. In April, the bodies of two red wolves with radio collars were found in nearby Hyde County. The agency hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said how the animal found Monday died, but it believes humans are responsible. The wildlife service is offering $2,500 for information leading to an arrest or other penalty. Red wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act. The maximum punishment for killing a red wolf is a year in prison and a fine of $100,000.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House Republican leader says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warned a fellow GOP lawmaker about sending an e-mail using disparaging terms for homosexuals. House Minority Leader Paul Stam said Tuesday that Rep. Larry Brown wrote an e-mail last week commenting on an award Democratic Speaker Joe Hackney is receiving from a gay rights organization. Stam forwarded the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release to dozens of Republicans. Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-mailed response included derogatory words used to characterize homosexuals. Stam said he wrote to Brown that he neither uses that language nor encourages it.

STATE BEGINS TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE FROM RAIN AND FLOODS Concerns range from lost homes to damage to farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crops RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials were assessing damage from rain and floods Tuesday in eastern North Carolina, even as some areas continued to face high water unlikely to recede before the weekend. Concerns ranged from lost homes and wrecked businesses to potentially harmful effects on farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crops. With damage spread across 19 counties, the full scope wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known until the end of the week at the earliest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After â&#x20AC;&#x2122;99, nobody thought it would happen again in their lifetime, and now 11 years later weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reliving the same thing,â&#x20AC;? said Vanceboro Mayor Chad Braxton, referring to Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Waters in Vanceboro were still high, and Braxton said it will be about two days before the town knows for sure how many homes and busi-

nesses were damaged. But officials there know that roughly 26 homes, including 14 mobile homes from a park on the outskirts of town, are total losses already. The Red Cross was still operating shelters Tuesday in Washington, Windsor and New Bern, said regional director Lynwood Roberson, although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a tally of overnight occupants. The area Red Cross has served 632 meals and more than 3,500 snacks to people displaced by the flooding, but say demand is beginning to drop off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waters are receding a little bit now, thank the good Lord,â&#x20AC;? Roberson said. The falling waters are allowing state and federal teams to begin estimating how much damage has been done since last week, when more than 20 inches of rain fell across most of the eastern part of the state. In some places, the water has barely receded, leaving residents still vulnerable to high water. State officials ex-

pect the Northeast Cape Fear River at Burgaw, the Neuse River at Kinston and the Lumber River at Lumberton to remain at flood stage until Friday or Saturday, said Julia Jarema, spokeswoman for the state Division of Emergency Management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The river crested yesterday, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only receded half a foot since then,â&#x20AC;? said Tommy Batson, a deputy fire marshal with the Pender County Department of Emergency Management in Burgaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot of stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just inundated.â&#x20AC;? State officials are also concerned about potential losses to farmers in the region, where some fields sat under a foot or more of water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather from here on out will dictate how severe the damage is, how quickly the fields dry and how quickly the harvests (can be brought in),â&#x20AC;? said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler at a Council of State meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just proves that no matter how much technology we have and good production practices we

have, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always at the whim of the weather. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what farmers have to deal with.â&#x20AC;? Troxler is particularly worried about damage to cotton, soybeans, sweet potatoes, peanuts and any tobacco still left in the fields. Gov. Beverly Perdue, who traveled to flooded areas over the weekend, said she expects the federal government will come through with money to help recovery efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just really bad all over the place,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Windsor is just sad.â&#x20AC;? Windsor, the Bertie County seat, saw some of the worst flooding in the state, with more than 200 homes and businesses damaged. As residents worked to clean up, though, many were trying to find some positive aspects to the disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay around as long as Floyd,â&#x20AC;? said Beverly Bracy as she helped clean up Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Center, a gas station owned by her father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came in fast and it went out fast.â&#x20AC;?

Group sends mailers on candidates RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A conservative-leaning group has plunged into North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Assembly races, sending out mailers questioning the votes of two top Democrats that raised taxes last year. Civitas Action, which calls itself an education group, has sent out a pair of campaign mailers in recent days targeting Democratic House Speaker Joe Hackney and Senate leader Marc Basnight, according to Francis DeLuca, president of its parent group, the John W. Pope Civitas Institute. DeLuca said Tuesday that the mailers by non-profit Civitas Action mark the first time the group has entered into direct voter education. He said the effort wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coordinated with any candidates or a political party. The report shows Civitas Action has much more money at its disposal. The group has received nearly $265,000 since Aug. 2, more than

Public Auction

70 percent of which came from Variety Stores Inc., the business owned by the family of Republican activist Art Pope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would plan on us doing other mailers,â&#x20AC;? DeLuca said. Campaign finance documents filed last week at the State Board of Elections showed Civitas Group only spent $5,750 on the mailers. DeLuca said several thousand mailers were sent to households in Basnight and Hackneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s districts. In one mailer, a picture of Basnight, D-Dare, is imposed in the middle of a fictional $1 billion dollar bill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a reference to the sales and income

tax increases â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each expected to last two years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; approved in the 2009 budget to help narrow a budget gap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With unemployment at a 30-year high in North Carolina, why would billion-dollar Marc Basnight do that to us?â&#x20AC;? Basnight and other Democrats have said they needed to make tough choices with a 2009 budget gap of more than $4 billion that included spending cuts and additional revenues. The mailers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;a distortion because we had a balanced package,â&#x20AC;? said Hackney, D-Orange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cuts far exceeded the temporary tax increases.â&#x20AC;?

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort, first reported by The Insider, a newsletter that covers state government, is the latest effort by Pope to influence the legislative elections in a year when Republican hopes are high to take control of the House, Senate, or both. Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Variety Stores gave $100,000 to Real Jobs NC, a group that has been targeting Democratic incumbents with critical mailers and television ads. The Civitas Institute, which focuses on state policy issues, received more than $1.6 million from a Pope family foundation in 2008, according to the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IRS filing.

By Wayne Barber As a member of the ďŹ re service for 36 years, I have seen all too many times the devastation ďŹ re can incur on people and their homes. Watching a household endure the loss of their most valued possessions is simply heartbreaking. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no greater horror than to witness a family suffer the aftermath of one or more loved ones who have perished in a ďŹ re. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most tragic about so many of these incidents, and I must admit sometimes frustrating, is that the fatal outcomes often could have been prevented with the presence of properly installed, working smoke alarms.

Each year, nearly 3,000 people die in home ďŹ res; many of those deaths could be avoided with the proper smoke alarm protection. The nonproďŹ t National Fire Protection Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NFPA) statistics show that while working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a ďŹ re nearly in half, roughly two-thirds of all home ďŹ re deaths result from ďŹ res in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

NFPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations include a smoke alarm installed in all bedrooms, and at least one on every level of the home (including the basement), and outside all sleeping areas. It is also recommended that smoke alarms be interconnected, so that when one sounds, they all do. Most residents are not aware of the two types of smoke alarm technologies available â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ionization and photoelectric. Ionization smoke alarms are generally more responsive to ďŹ&#x201A;aming ďŹ res â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a pan ďŹ re or smoke from cooking. Photoelectric smoke alarms are generally more responsive to smoldering ďŹ res â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a cigarette, overheated wiring, or something hot like a space heater. Both types of smoke alarms should be installed in your home or combination ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms that take advantage of both technologies. Unfortunately, many homes in Sanford, and in communities throughout the U.S., still do not have this level of protection. As the ofďŹ cial sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 2010, NFPA is promoting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!â&#x20AC;? to better educate the public about recommendations for smoke alarms, and the steps they can take to best protect their homes and loved ones. The Sanford Fire Department is actively supporting this campaign through family-oriented events in Sanford during Fire Prevention Week. Sanford Fire Department is doing its part to educate residents about the importance of installing and maintaining smoke alarms appropriately. But the true safety lies with Sanford and their willingness to take the steps needed to protect their homes and families from ďŹ re. Our sincere hope is that everyone participates in one or more of these activities, and starts working toward a community from ďŹ re. (Wayne Barber is the chief of The Sanford Fire Department)

NC STATE VETERINARIAN SCHOOL FIXES UP INJURED BEARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ELBOW

STATE BRIEFS

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The first attempt at arthroscopic surgery on a bear at the N.C. State University College of Veterinary Medicine ran into complications Tuesday that slowed the operation, but in the end it was successful. Surgeons working through two tiny cuts removed a bone chip from the right elbow of Yona, a 130-pound black bear. The anesthesia took longer than expected, and the chip had grown since veterinarians discovered it this summer and proved difficult to cut away from the joint, said the lead surgeon, Dr. Denis Marcellin-Little, a professor of orthopedics. By late afternoon, though, Yona was on a groggy van ride back to her home at the N.C. Museum of Life and Science in Durham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for the surgery to go better,â&#x20AC;? said Sherry Samuels, director of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got the fragment out, and it was bigger, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad we did this and it worked out so well.â&#x20AC;? The private nonprofit museum is paying for the surgery. Samuels said

she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the total cost yet. Yona, whose name is the Cherokee word for bear, was found beside a mountain road in Tennessee last year when she was just a fourpound cub. Now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the youngest and smallest of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five black bears, which live in an outdoor enclosure. After Yona arrived in January, keepers noticed she was limping with her right front leg. An elaborate set of tests at the veterinary college this summer showed a deformity in one of the main bones that was mainly fixing itself. There was another problem, though: An almondsized chip had broken off another bone and was lodged at her elbow. Marcellin-Little, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t operated on a bear before, said in an interview that it took longer than expected for the anesthesia to take effect, perhaps in part because the initial injection went into fatty tissue and was slow to make its way into the bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system. And when he looked at X-rays just before the operation Tuesday morning, it was clear the chip had grown and got-

ten rougher. That made him suspicious that it would be well-attached to the joint. Meanwhile, the odd nature of the patient had created another problem. Bruce Hahn of Smith & Nephew Endoscopy, the company which makes the tiny instruments that the college uses for surgery, had come to stand by during the operation in case the team needed technical advice. Hahn is often brought in for unusual or difficult surgeries or those where new technology is being used. He had seen giraffe surgery and lion surgery, but Tuesday morning he took his first good look at a bear elbow and decided slightly smaller equipment would be needed. He dashed for his car, drove to a nearby office and returned with the equipment before the operation began. The surgeons made their two incisions and inserted the tiny instruments for seeing, cutting and grabbing into the joint. It was obvious the bone was indeed more firmly attached than they expected, with band after band of tissue connecting the chip to the

elbow about as firmly as a tooth is anchored. Each had to be painstakingly cut away. Also, the earlier tests had given MarcellinLittle hope of pulling the chip out at once, but it had grown so big it had to be broken into about six pieces and pulled out through the tiny hole, one after the other, each larger than the last. The final piece was about a third the size of Marcellin-Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumb, he said, and they had to open the incision a little to get it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last one ending up leaving everyone breathless,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all went pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Marcellin-Little said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a slow and steady process.â&#x20AC;? In the end, the two holes were still so small that Yona wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even wearing a bandage when she went home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the strengths of arthroscopic surgery for bears as for humans: less cutting can mean a speedier recovery. Samuels said that how soon Yona is back outside with the other bears depends on her. It could be as quickly as a week or as long as a month.

N.C. State expects crowds at engineering job fair

Carolina State University. About 250 companies are expected to be on the lookout for promising candidates at the two-day career fair starting Tuesday and hosted by the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Engineering. The last career fair in February attracted more than

3,000 job seekers, and last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event drew 3,500. The numbers suggest thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition ahead for college students looking to cash in on their education investment. A survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers showed about

one out of four 2010 graduates who applied for jobs actually had them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from one out of five college graduates last year, but way below the 2007 level of 51 percent.

No ceremony for lighting of big N.C. Christmas tree

Earlier audit probed workers at N.C. jobless agency

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The deteriorating live oak tree that Wilmington bills as the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Living Christmas Tree will be lit this year. But nearby construction that will limit access means no ceremony will mark the occasion. The StarNews of Wilmington reported the city council decided Monday the city will skip the tree-lighting ceremony this year for the tree at Hilton Park. A ceremony will be held featuring an artificial tree at Riverfront Park. The live tree is near the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant, which is being renovated. The work has left exposed concrete, bricks, holes and other hazards in the area where the ceremony has been held since 1928 except for one year during World War II.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The department at North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless benefits agency that was responsible for a computer program that overpaid unemployed workers $28 million has had trouble previously. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that someone in the same office bootlegged copies of movies and video games. A state audit in August determined a worker in the Employment Security Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information services office had installed software on his computer to get around copyright laws. The worker was fired last year. A spokesman for State Auditor Beth Wood says the information services office was also responsible for making repairs to stop the overpayments.

Insurer seeks market amid N.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pricey homes RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An insurer specializing in pricey properties is moving into North Carolina with a particular eye toward coastal real estate. Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange offers its homeowners insurance policies for homes worth more than $1 million. Policyholders share the risks with fellow members of the covered group. PURE said it was encouraged by the General Assemblyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision last year to revamp the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurricane insurance plan. The changes capped potential costs to insurers while spreading the risk of a disaster to every property owner in the state.

Judge bars ads claiming harm from water bottles RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina company that touted its stainless steel water bottles on TV and the Internet as a safer alternative to plastic water bottles has been ordered to stop making the claims. U.S. District Judge Robert Conrad ordered Charlottebased Eco Canteen Inc. not to suggest that plastic water bottles threaten public health. The International Bottled Water Association sued Eco Canteen over what it said was a scare campaign to steer consumers away from plastic bottles.

Blood, plastic: Dexter’s kill room back

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The boxes are labeled “body parts,” “heads” and “Dexter killing devices & face shields.” Others are filled with plastic wrap, duct tape, knives, syringes — everything your friendly neighborhood serial killer might need to do away with bad guys. On TV, many of these things might be found hidden in Dexter Morgan’s apartment, or in the case of the body parts and heads, wrapped in plastic trash bags strewn at the bottom of the Atlantic. In reality, though, all this stuff — along with medical equipment, official-looking paperwork from the Miami Police Department and a creepy life-sized baby that stands in for Dexter’s infant son — lives inside a 48-foot trailer at a Hollywood studio where the hit Showtime series “Dexter” is filmed. Now in its fifth season, “Dexter” follows its namesake character as he carefully balances his public life as a dad, brother and police forensic specialist with his private life as a serial killer of serial killers. The Emmy-nominated series stars Emmy-nominated actor Michael C. Hall, who has won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for his portrayal of the enigmatic protagonist. “He’s definitely taken a unique responsibility for a shadow side that’s

more formidable than your average, run of the mill shadow,” Hall says from his trailer between takes. The height of the show, for fans and for Dexter, are the scenes where he’s captured his victim and about to deliver his justice. He’s the hero, the central character viewers are rooting for, and yet he’s about to commit murder. “Dexter is able to be most clearly himself in those scenes,” says executive producer Sara Colleton. “He drops away all the masks he thinks he has to hold in place to move through society.” Dexter is absolutely methodical about his kills, adhering to a personal code to keep him from getting caught. He wears a uniform: Dark clothes, gloves, apron, face shield. He prepares his “kill room” in advance, completely wrapping the room and its contents in plastic. (As a forensic expert, he knows a thing or two about leaving evidence behind.) He injects his victims with M-99, or etorphine hydrochloride, an animal tranquilizer, and binds them to a plastic-covered table with plastic wrap. Photos of the killer’s past victims line the room. Dexter has a talk with the killer-turned-victim, slices the person’s face with a scalpel to collect a small drop of blood as a souvenir,

then plunges his knife deep into the person’s chest — a move calculated through practice to deliver quick results. Later, we inevitably see Dexter out on his boat, the Slice of Life, dropping his victim’s trash-bagwrapped body parts into the sea. These iconic moments fill just a few minutes of show time, but dozens of people spend countless hours creating each killroom scene. It starts with production designer Jessica Kender, who dreams up the look of each room based on the requirements of the story and location. “You read the scripts,” she says. “They say a kill room is going to be here, and then you think, ’What can I do to make this thing look interesting underneath plastic?”’ It’s up to set decorator Dave Koneff and his team to execute her vision. He says the average kill room takes about five hours to set up, “depending on how much furniture we have to wrap.” The official Dexter plastic wrap is 3.5 milliliter Husky Plastic Sheeting from Home Depot, Koneff says. He has rolls and rolls of the stuff, often buying out the store, as Dexter might. In fact, Koneff’s crew prepares the kill rooms as meticulously as Dexter

would. “Everything gets measured out before it’s put up, same way Dexter does,” Kender says. “They do the walls first, they do the floor next, just how he would do, then wrap the individual items.” Next comes property master Joshua Meltzer, whose on-set trailer houses all the show’s props, including Dexter’s kill bag and its collection of knives, his syringe in its neat little carrying case and the small wooden box that holds the collection of blood slides he keeps as souvenirs. The 30-year prop veteran also keeps rubber and retractable versions of everything that “pokes, probes or stabs,” he says, “because in real life, we can’t stab the actors.” Meltzer is also in charge of blood, lots and lots of blood. After working on the show for five years, he’s become Hollywood’s go-to blood guy and has taken gigs on vampire shows between seasons of “Dexter.” He likes a brand called My Blood, and keeps thin, thick, washable, paste and plastic peel-off versions on hand. Another favorite is the A&B blood, a clear liquid that becomes “blood” when activated with a second chemical. The blood on Dexter’s slides is made from furniture dye.

Defense says Smith case defendant tried to help LOS ANGELES (AP) — A prosecutor in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy case accused the model’s boyfriend and doctors of providing her with drugs to enhance their friendships, but a defense attorney countered Tuesday that it was not a crime for a doctor to prescribe medication for a friend in pain. Lawyer Brad Brunon, who represents defendant Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, told jurors his client was accused in prosecution summations of giving Smith drugs to make her feel good. “Isn’t that what a doctor is supposed to do?” Brunon asked in his closing argument. “Is there a charge that Dr. Eroshevich committed a crime because she prescribed to a friend? No. It’s not a crime.” Brunon was the first of three defense lawyers who will address the jury after prosecutors spent nearly eight hours over two days presenting arguments and an elaborate digital slide show. Prosecutors misled jurors by showing things such as a burnt spoon and lighter allegedly used to melt down medication, Brunon said, stressing the items were never found and were not in evidence. “Don’t be mesmerized by the pretty colored pictures,” he advised jurors about what he called the best hightech display money can buy. Brunon, who spoke with few visual aids, was set to continue his argument Wednesday. Lawyers for defendants Howard K. Stern

Ozzy covers John Lennon for 70th milestone NEW YORK (AP) — John Lennon would have been 70 this week, and who better to honor his legacy in song than ... Ozzy Osbourne? Yes, Ozzy Osbourne. The Black Sabbath heavy-metal king has made a cover of Lennon’s “How,” available Tuesday on iTunes to benefit Amnesty International. Osbourne says Lennon was a “driving force for humanity.” He also credits the Beatles as the inspiration for his musical career. A video for the song is debuting on AOL’s PopEater.com. The former Beatle would have been 70 on Saturday. He was shot to death in December 1980.

’Bored to Death’ star’s dog gets cameo on show NEW YORK (AP) — Jason Schwartzman’s dog had the face for TV — just not the back for it. Schwartzman, 30, stars in HBO’s offbeat detective comedy “Bored to Death,” and show creator Jonathan Ames says he wanted to have Schwartzman’s French bulldog, Arrow, in the show. Ames liked Arrow because of his “incredibly beautiful, crushed, tormented face.” Unfortunately Arrow has a bad back and was not up to the rigors of acting. So they cast another dog in his place. Arrow did have a cameo in the show, though. “Bored to Death” also stars Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis.

Lil Wayne goes solo in N.Y. jail’s solitary punishment NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne is facing the music after being accused of breaking jail rules by having gear for listening to tunes: He can expect to go solo for the rest of his time behind bars in a gun case. The Grammy Award-winning rapper was moved Monday into what city jail officials call “punitive segregation” for a month, until his expected November release date, Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello said. It’s his punishment for stashing a charger and headphones for a digital music player in his cell earlier this year, officials said. Lil Wayne generally will now be confined to his new cell 23 hours a day, with such exceptions as visits and showers, instead of being allowed to mingle with other inmates most of the day. He’ll eat in his cell and won’t get to socialize even during his hour a day of recreation, Morello said.

new assembly. A Jones Chapel already existed in the area, so the reverend named the church after his daughter, Grace. The original structure was razed and replaced by a brick building in 1936, and in the 1950s, the church added 10 Sunday school rooms. A picnic shelter, constructed in 1969, has been used as a cafeteria, a daycare, and for Sunday school classes. Church leaders made a fateful decision in the early 1960s, when they voted to not to affiliate Grace with any Christian denomination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being independent has defined who we are as a very conservative, Bible-believing congregation,â&#x20AC;? Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are basically baptistic in doctrine and governance.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my personal opinion,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the advantages of independence far outweigh the advantages of being locked into a denominational mode.â&#x20AC;? Grace branched out into education in 1970 with the establishment of a Christian School, which still shares facilities with the church. Twenty first-graders and kindergartners were enrolled that first year, and now Grace Christian School has a student body of nearly 300. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They go on to all walks of life, from finance to business to nursing,â&#x20AC;? Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our graduates do quite well.â&#x20AC;? The church campus has sprawled out from that original acre-and-a-half donation to encompass 23 acres, which now includes the school, the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do live praise and worship music, we do some type of game,â&#x20AC;? Murr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have all kinds of activities to keep the kids busy.â&#x20AC;? The church stays true to its scriptural roots through numerous Bible studies and short-term mission trips. Grace members have represented the congregation in countries all over the world, including Canada, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Belize, Mexico, Nicaragua and elsewhere. Going forward, some of Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals are to see the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance increase, to see the church grow both numerically and spiritually, to retire church debt within the next ten years and to expand the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth ministry with a Christian recreation center. He is mindful of these aspirations as he prepares for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary festivities on Oct. 17, which will feature a speaker, music and a meal in the gym. To Murr, the secret to the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuing success lies in its cornerstone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re founded on teaching the Bible, and I think any church that does that is going to be successful,â&#x20AC;? Murr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to go where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loved, and I think they come here because they get that.â&#x20AC;?

sanctuary, an educational structure called the Farrell Building, a fellowship hall, a child development center, and other amenities. Grace bounced back after a devastating fire in 2004, which destroyed a sanctuary that had served as its worship center for three decades. The churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministries have expanded at an ever greater rate than its campus. Some of its popular offerings are a Childhood Development Center, which is among the most sought after in the area, an addiction recovery ministry, a nursing home ministry, a divorce care ministry, and a host of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place for you at Grace, whatever age you are,â&#x20AC;? said Betty Sue McNeill, director of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministries. An outreach to widows, which falls under McNeillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purview, draws an average of 60 ladies each month. Mothers gather for prayer and fellowship through the Momto-Mom and Moms in Touch programs, and the group Girlfriends of Grace allows women to get together in a social setting. A menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outreach, overseen by Warren Carter, organizes activities like menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outings and sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banquets. The guys at Grace can also participate in softball and basketball. One of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real strengths of the churchâ&#x20AC;? according to the pastor, is its offerings for young people. Grace has an active AWAKE program for kids, and on Wednesday nights, dozens of area teens assemble for the Youth Alive ministry. Youth Pastor Joel Murr explained that Alive is an acronym for Always Living in View of Eternity.

Kyle Busch acts like a baby again

Arrest was his second in less than three years By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

ast week, I complained about the commercials. This week I am not really going to complain. Instead, I am going to ask some questions that I have asked every season since the Chase started. I am going to show my craziness by asking the questions and then answering them because Sunday in Kansas was a perfect example. How do the drivers in the Chase manage to always seem to finish close to the front once the Chase starts? This week was the perfect example of this happening. The top seven finishers were Greg Biffle, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth. How do they do that? There are 43 cars out on the track and some how some way the chasers always get up front. I have said it for years that most other drivers, those not in the chase, lay down for these guys and I don’t think they should. That is, unless your name is David Reutimann. I will get back to him but before I do let me say that I have been a firm believer that NASCAR tells the other drivers to let the chasers go. I think the of-

Falcons shut out on Senior Night for Godwin By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Although he was honored prior to Tuesday’s game for Senior Day, Lee Christian’s Scottie Godwin will more than likely have one more home game in front of the Falcon crowd. The lone senior for the Falcons was honored on Senior Day before Tuesday’s 4-0 loss to Vandalia, marking the final time during the regular season that Godwin would suit up in front of the Lee Christian crowd. The loss keeps the Falcons (5-9, 3-6) in fourth place in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference with just one conference game remaining at top-seeded Alamance Christian on Friday. If the Falcons can remain in fourth, it means they will host a game in the first round in the NCCSA 3-A state tournament. WESLEY BEESON / The Sanford Herald

GRACE DROPS ANOTHER ONE GOAL GAME GRAHAM — Another match, another one-goal loss for the Grace Christian soccer team. The Crusaders fell to Alamance Christian 1-0 on Tuesday afternoon, dropping them to 8-10 overall and 2-7 in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference. Of Grace Christian’s 10 losses this season, eight of them have come by just a goal. For the first time in weeks, the Crusaders finally had their entire lineup in a game and it paid off as they held one of the conference’s top teams to just a goal. The match was scoreless through the first 70 minutes and then Alamance Christian’s Ethan Massey broke the tie with a goal that slipped past Crusader goalkeeper Issac Kruger. Kruger had seven saves for the Crusaders. In the final 20 minutes, the Crusaders had several really close opportunities to score with three of their final shots hitting the cross-bar. Grace Christian will travel to third seed Gospel Light on Thursday afternoon. — Ryan Sarda

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers released receiver Dwayne Jarrett on Tuesday, hours after his second arrest on a charge of driving while impaired in less than three years. The Panthers replaced him with David Clowney, who was claimed off waivers from the New York Jarrett Jets to help a depleted receiving corps Jarrett did little to boost before his latest legal trouble. Jarrett managed only 35 catches and one touchdown in four seasons in Carolina, and the Panthers (0-4) have started two rookies ahead of him in the No. 2 receiver spot this season. “I talked to Dwayne and told him the situation here is just not working out for either side,” general manager Marty Hurney said. “We had a chance to pick up off waivers a receiver we considered claiming when he became available four weeks ago. We wish Dwayne the best.” Jarrett was pulled over on Interstate 77 in Charlotte for speeding shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spokesman Bob Fey. He said Jarrett declined to take a breath test to determine his blood-alcohol content and results of the ensu-

Cox picks Lowe, Hanson, Hudson as series starters

Wolfpack plans to refocus after collapse against Hokies

Braves start series with Giants on the road Thursday By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Derek Lowe wasn’t ready to look past his Game 1 start for the Braves against the Giants in the NL division series on Tuesday. At least not in public. Manager Bobby Cox said Lowe, Tommy Hanson and Tim Hudson are the Braves’ first three starters in the series. Lowe will start in Thursday’s Game 1 at San Francisco against Tim Lincecum. Cox said Lowe or rookie Brandon Beachy would start if a fourth game is needed. Lowe would be pitching on three days’ rest but would likely lobby with Cox to make the start. “I’ve already talked to him about it, and I’ll leave it at that,” a smiling Lowe said following Tuesday’s workout at Turner Field. Lowe is peaking just in time for the postseason. He was 5-0 with a 1.17 ERA in his last five starts.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina State’s hot start is history. The Wolfpack’s national ranking slipped away, too — right along with a huge lead. For the first time this year, N.C. State’s humbled team is getting a lesson in dealing with adversity. That presents a new challenge this week: Turning the focus to Boston College and putting last week’s demoralizing loss to Virginia Tech in the past. The Wolfpack (4-1, 1-1 ACC) can’t afford to dwell on their first defeat or the agonizing way it happened, allowing a 17point lead to evaporate in a mistake-filled second half. “We all needed to feel the defeat, the taste, and I think we’re ready to get back to work now,” receiver Darrell Davis said

Sting Pee Wee holds strong for win SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Sanford Sting PeeWeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (3-1) beat the Wake Forest Titans 24-6 on Saturday after a 6-6 tie at the half. The defense was particularly stout after halftime, not allowing any more scores. Caleb Thomas had a sack, while Joseph Ledbetter and Keaton Forbes were a disruptive force. Tim Lee and Spencer Patterson had disciplined play at linebacker and defensive end. The defensive line of Pait Bryan, Torias Scriven, Nick Mansfield, Caleb Barrow and Zach Holder made their pres-

ence known in the third quarter and made it tough going for the Titans the rest of the way. Offensively, the Sting had 136 yards rushing with two touchdowns and 102 yards passing with two touchdowns. The front line led the way for the powerful ground game. Trey Simpson, Andrew Phillips, Joseph Ledbetter, Tim Lee and Jake Thomas found running room behind the line all day. Trey Simpson led the team in rushing while Andrew Phillips scored two touchdowns. The

passing game was also very effective. Colyn Fowler hauled in a 4 yard touchdown pass from Jory Perkins and Tyler Toro took a strike from Noah Terhune 40 yards to the 2 yard line. The final scoring play was a 42 yard scoring pass from Jory Perkins to Joshua Campbell. Excellent team play by the offensive line of Parker Maynor, Josh Smith, Seth Winders, Michael Pittman, Mason Basham and Cameron Tyndall was the key to the offensive explosion. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Submitted article

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come in and has done a great job for us.â&#x20AC;? If all goes according to plan, the Falcons will host cross-town rival Grace

Lee Christian and Grace Christian would play next Friday in the opening round of the state tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the game, a lot of our guys were saying that they were going to miss playing with Scottie,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He kept telling him that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done yet. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some soccer left to be played.â&#x20AC;? For the first 63 minutes of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match, the Falcons and Vikings were pretty even with Vandalia leading 1-0. In the 63rd minute, the Vikings doubled their lead on a penalty kick. After that, it was all Vandalia as the Vikings added two more goals in the final

17 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That penalty kick really broke our backs and was the difference maker,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played pretty decent for the first 65 minutes or so. After that, I guess we got tired or something. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play 80 minutes and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to finish. The final score didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t indicate how well we played.â&#x20AC;? In volleyball, the Falcons defeated the Vikings in four games on Tuesday afternoon. Scores were 2225, 25-21, 25-20 and 25-16. Skylar Dubuc finished with 27 service points for Lee Christian. Jessica Dunn led the Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hitting attack with nine and Erica Davidson contributed with seven.

REDS VS. PHILLIES

Halladay finally reaches postseason By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay spent plenty of Octobers at home, wishing for this opportunity. The ace right-hander has been to seven All-Star games, won a Cy Young Award, pitched a perfect game and compiled an impressive resume over his 13-year career. But the one thing he hasn’t crossed off his to-do list is pitch in a postseason game. Until now. Halladay will take the ball when the Philadelphia Phillies host the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of their NL division series Wednesday. “It’s definitely something I’m looking forward to,” Halladay said on a rainy Tuesday. “It’s a great challenge. It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole career, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity.” Edinson Volquez will start for the NL Central champion Reds, who are in the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Volquez came back from right elbow surgery and went 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts. “For me, it’s something really big,” he said. “I was out for one year and came back from Tommy John surgery. This is the first game of the playoffs. It’s something big. Really big.” After 12 seasons playing for Toronto in a division dominated by the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, Halladay desperately wanted to join a legitimate contender. He nearly got the chance last year, but a trade to Philadelphia fell through before

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay laughs after answering a question during a baseball news conference Tuesday in Philadelphia. the July 31 non-waiver deadline. The Phillies acquired Cliff Lee instead and he nearly led them to a second straight World Series title. Lee was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts, getting the team’s only two wins in the World Series against the Yankees. Halladay watched the Series with more interest than usual because he was nearly a part of it, and to see his former teammate, A.J. Burnett, pitch for New York. “You’re always catching up on it. You may not sit and watch every single inning like I probably did last year,” Halladay said. “I think everybody who is not there is envious of the guys who are.” Halladay was so intent on playing for a championship-caliber club that he passed up a chance to test free agency after this season and potentially get the richest contract ever for a pitcher. Instead, the big right-hander signed a $60 million, three-year extension from the Phillies

after they completed a trade with the Blue Jays last December. On the same day, the Phillies sent Lee to Seattle for three prospects. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. didn’t want to risk losing Lee in free agency, and needed to replenish the farm system. Once Philadelphia became a reality, Halladay never considered going anywhere else. “The contract was never a factor for me,” he said. “The biggest thing for me was going somewhere that had a chance to compete for a couple years, and being able to do that as soon as possible. You never really know how long you are going to play. You hate to suck up a year just to be able to control exactly where you go, when you can already go there before that. The biggest factor was there was this team, the one team that I really wanted to go to that was able to make things work. I have a chance to win right away, and not only right

away, but hopefully have a couple chances at it. It was a simple decision.” Halladay lived up to enormous expectations in Philadelphia. He threw a perfect game at Florida on May 29 and finished 21-10 with a 2.44 ERA. Halladay led the majors in wins, complete games (nine), shutouts (four) and innings (250 2-3). “I could sit here forever and talk about Halladay,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He’s very dedicated, he’s very intense, he wants to win, he definitely wants a ring. He wants to be the best pitcher in baseball, but he also wants to be on the best team. He definitely puts his team before himself, and he’s definitely inspirational to all of our players and he plays a big role in the makeup of our team.” On almost every other staff, Halladay would’ve been an obvious choice to start the series opener. But the Phillies also have Roy Oswalt (13-13, 2.76) and Cole Hamels (1211, 3.06). Both pitchers would’ve had better records if they received more run support. More importantly, both have been successful in the postseason. Hamels was the NLCS and World Series MVP when the Phillies won their second championship in 2008. Oswalt is 4-0 with a 3.66 ERA in eight postseason games, including seven starts. Oswalt is starting Game 2 on Friday and Hamels will pitch in Cincinnati in Game 3 on Sunday.

“If he throws like he’s been throwing his last five starts, he’ll pitch a great ballgame,” Cox said. Lowe was 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA in two starts against the Giants this season. Overall, he was 16-12 with a 4.00 ERA. The right-hander said his confidence “is as high as it’s been since I’ve been here.” Lowe is the Braves’ most experienced postseason starter. He is 5-5 with a save and a 3.33 ERA in 21 postseason games with the Red Sox and Dodgers. “I’ve been very fortunate in my career I’ve never gone more than one year without being in the playoffs,” he said. Cox said he will name his postseason roster on Thursday. Some answers came Tuesday. Rookie first baseman Freddie Freeman, righthander Takashi Saito, lefthander Eric O’Flaherty and rookie left-hander Mike Minor will not be on the roster. Freeman finished the season with Atlanta, but the Braves have Derrek Lee and Troy Glaus at first base and need the roster spot for a backup middle infielder, most likely Diory Hernandez. Saito, who has been slowed by a sore shoulder, threw in the bullpen during the workout and then said he was told he won’t be on the postseason roster. Cox said O’Flaherty, who has suffered from blurred vision and hasn’t pitched since Sept. 20, “just can’t go.” Cox said he is taking

“a bunch” of extra players to San Francisco who will not be on the postseason roster. He said he wants reserves close by in case he needs to replace an injured player. Rookie catcher J.C. Boscan will be one of the emergency players with the team. “You can sub anybody now, so it makes it easy,” Cox said. An injured player who is replaced must miss the remainder of the series and the next postseason series. Hudson leads the Braves with 17 wins, including the 8-7 victory over the Phillies on Sunday that helped clinch a playoff spot. Hanson is 10-11 with a 3.33 ERA and has been a hard-luck pitcher. He is the only pitcher in Atlanta history to have a losing record in at least 30 starts with an ERA at 3.50 or better. He was 2-1 with a 2.04 ERA in six September starts. “Hanson has been on a roll,” Cox said. “Huddy needs the extra rest, in my opinion.” Hanson said he will go to Lowe for advice after Thursday’s game. “He’s been around for a while,” Hanson said. “It’s a lot of help to be able to talk to him about certain hitters and what they’re trying to do in certain situations.” Right-hander Jair Jurrjens, who hasn’t pitched since Sept. 14 because of an injured right knee, was sent to Florida to pitch in an Instructional League game on Tuesday night. It is possible Jurrjens could win a spot on the postseason roster, but his best chance to pitch again may come if the Braves advance to the NLCS.

cerned that the loss will linger, saying that by Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice, his players appeared to have moved on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay with them long,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth is a wonderful thing. They forget things fast.â&#x20AC;? But of greater importance is that they learned some things they can apply, starting with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit from the Eagles in an Atlantic Division matchup. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien wants to take care of the shoddy tackling and fundamental defensive errors that al-

lowed the Hokies to move the ball, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;shades of last yearâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the Wolfpack had one of the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst defenses. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt he wants the offense to take better care of the ball in crucial situations. Russell Wilson threw three interceptions: one in the end zone when the Wolfpack could have gone back up by 17, and another on the first play that followed Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goahead touchdown. If nothing else, the players seem to have put things in perspective already.

The division remains wide open â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 23 Florida State, the only ranked team from that half of the ACC, still must come to Raleigh later this month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and most of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason goals remain intact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our leadership this year is better, and as a team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little bit more (of a) closer-knit group,â&#x20AC;? safety Brandan Bishop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to handle this loss. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one loss, but I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to handle it and bounce back.â&#x20AC;?

the Southern California star in the second round of the 2007 draft and released Keyshawn Johnson days later, convinced the 6-foot-4 Jarrett would become a starter opposite Steve Smith after setting a Pac10 career record with 41 touchdown catches. But Jarrett had trouble learning the playbook and adjusting to the NFL. After a rookie season spent mostly on the inactive list, Jarrett was arrested in March 2008 in a Charlotte suburb after police say he crossed the center line and ran a red light. The police report said Jarrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood-alcohol level was .12, above North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal limit of .08. Jarrett pleaded guilty

to driving while impaired three months later, was fined $420 and ordered to perform community service. The plea put him in the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s substance abuse program, and Jarrett could face a suspension if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convicted on the latest charge. Jarrett played in just nine games in 2008 and caught 10 passes. Last year, he had a career-best 17 catches and scored his first NFL touchdown in the season finale. He came to training camp this year with a starting job his to lose after Carolina decided against re-signing Muhsin Muhammad. But Jarrett was beaten out by rookies Brandon LaFell and David Gettis. Jarrett, who has two

catches and 40 yards, was expected to play a role in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Chicago because Smith is expected to be sidelined with a sprained left ankle. Clowney will likely play an immediate role for the Panthers Sunday as the only healthy nonrookie receiver on the roster. A fifth-round pick by Green Bay in 2007, the Virginia Tech product spent the last four seasons with the Jets, catching 16 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. The Jets waived Clowney on Monday to clear a roster spot for Santonio Holmes, who is returning from a suspension.

WAKE FOREST

Bowyer’s 150-point QB situation remains deduction upheld muddy for Deacons

CONCORD (AP) — Richard Childress Racing lost its last bid Tuesday to overturn Clint Bowyer’s championship-ending penalty. NASCAR chief appellate officer John Middlebrook ruled Bowyer will not get back the 150 points he was docked after his winning car at New Hampshire on Sept. 19 failed inspection. But Middlebrook did reduce two portions of NASCAR’s penalties against RCR. Crew chief Shane Wilson’s $150,000 fine was reduced to $100,000, and the six-race suspensions for Wilson and car chief Chad Haney were cut to four. “I am ruling NASCAR was correct in its decision to levy penalties,” Middlebrook said in a statement. “I believe that the revisions that have been made to the penalties are consistent and fair to both parties involved.” It was Middlebrook’s first hearing since accepting the $1-a-year position in February. The former General Motors executive mediated during two hours of testimony between Childress and Sprint Cup Series director John Darby. When he left the hearing, Childress said regardless of the outcome, he thought the process with Middlebrook was fair. That didn’t change after the ruling. “I’m disappointed that the results are not what we wanted, but I feel we received a fair hearing,”

ficials are watching and are secretly telling the crew chiefs or the owners to tell their drivers to move or make sure they do not interfere with outcome. Again, NASCAR can control everything. I have always said that they will let the first part of the race be decided by the teams and their fortunes or misfortune. And then if the driver or drivers they want to contend are near the front then they can throw a caution or whatever it takes to aid the winner. Yes, they do. It has been proven too much! Well David Reutimann must not be afraid of them. First of all, I cannot believe Kyle Busch and his arrogance. Where does he get off thinking that it is OK to bump someone, but when they retaliate he finds it offensive and wants NASCAR to do something? Is it because he feels that he is above the other 31 drivers out there because

NASCAR team owner Richard Childress emerged from a two-hour hearing Tuesday before NASCAR’s chief appellate officer confident he was given a fair chance in his quest to have Clint Bowyer’s championship-ending penalty overturned. he said. “The final step in the appeals process is very good and I can assure you we would not have taken our case to the chief appellate officer if the first step in the process had been as fair.” It was a marked difference from a week ago, when the team owner was incensed by a threemember appeals panel that upheld the penalty. Childress angrily accused the appeals panel of disregarding testimony from an accident reconstruction expert the owner hired to prove that Bowyer’s car could have been damaged when a tow truck pushed it to Victory Lane. Childress again had Dr. Charles Manning on site at NASCAR’s research and development center, but

Middlebrook did not call him to testify. Instead, Childress and Darby went before Middlebrook at the same time and presented their cases. During last week’s appeal, each side went individually and was not in the room to hear the testimony. Darby said the ruling proved NASCAR’s inspection process is consistent, but said the sanctioning body took no pleasure in the process. “You are never happy. Nobody wins, nobody loses here,” Darby said. “What I look at is a challenge to NASCAR’s inspection procedures and the consistency and I believe what has been shown is ... the way we generally do business from the inspection side of the sport is OK.”

he is in the Chase? Or has he been made to feel “special” because he is a chaser? Whatever the reason, it ain’t good enough for me. All his reaction did was show how big of a baby he is. David Reutimann was driving around minding his own business when Busch thought he needed to get him out the way. Busch bumps him, and Reutimann spins. Later when they meet up again and David returns the favor. The only problem was that Busch was running seventh and was in contention. So what? The officials said before the first race that the gloves were off and the rules do not need to change now. Busch said, “For a guy that’s in the Chase, that’s racing for something...He could have wrecked me in any of the first 26 races next year.” What in the world does that mean? It was almost like him asking to forget for now but pay me back later. Sorry, but that doesn’t happen in racing. When the emotions took over, he did what he needed to do when

it needed to happen. I personally don’t care if it was Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson, you wrecked him, you had to pay. It was almost like a batter being hit by the opposing pitcher and if the the batter’s pitcher doesn’t take action the next inning by hitting a batter on the other team then he is held accountable for actions and not welcome around the clubhouse. Well I bet half the drivers were ready to invite Reutimann and his team out for steak. All I’m saying is that Reutimann’s actions are considered by me to just be racing, and if they ain’t rubbing, they ain’t racing. Stop crying and deal with it! Well it’s on to California, where I imagine Jimmie Johnson will add to his point lead with another victory. Of course he again has proven that he is ready to defend. A second place was all he needed and that is what sets his team apart from the others. They know how to make something out of nothing. See you after California.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Wake Forest’s quarterback situation remains a question mark. Because of mounting injuries at that position, coach Jim Grobe says he probably won’t settle on a starter for the Navy game until later this week. “I would say we’ll just let the kids practice this week and figure out after Thursday where we are,” Grobe said Tuesday. Grobe said freshman Tanner Price, who was knocked out of his second career start with a concussion, is “probably going to get the lion’s share of the snaps ... because he’s now the healthy one of the group.” The team’s depth chart released later Tuesday listed the starter as either Price or Skylar Jones, with Brendan Cross behind them. Price, who returned to practice Monday night, was held out of last week’s Georgia Tech loss as a precaution after he was hurt the week before at Florida State. The Demon Deacons (2-3, 1-2 ACC) wound up being down to their fourth QB against the Yellow Jackets in Jones, who isn’t a typical No. 4 quarterback — he was, after all, listed as the starter following spring drills. He played through turf toe but finished the game, completing 9 of 20 passes for 105 yards in his first extended game action at quarterback.

Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price looks downfield as offensive tackle Steven Chase (73) looks on against Duke. He entered after starter Ted Stachitas left with back pain and Cross injured his nonthrowing shoulder when he was tackled while scrambling. Grobe said Tuesday that Stachitas might miss 3-4 weeks with a fractured bone in his back. “I think our focus is probably (to) get Brendan healthy, let Sky do as much as he can and kind of play that by ear, see how he feels running around, and then try to get Tanner as much work as possible,” Grobe said. The position has been a revolving door all season, one reason why the Demon Deacons have lost three straight entering the matchup with Navy (2-2). Stachitas started the first two games, both

wins, but injured his nonthrowing hand against Duke. Price started the following two games — both road losses to teams currently ranked in the Top 25, No. 16 Stanford and No. 23 Florida State — before he was hurt against the Seminoles. “Every quarterback they have, A, can run and is dangerous with the football in their hands, and, B, can throw the ball effectively,” Navy defensive coordinator Buddy Green said. “Whatever quarterback plays can execute the offense. All the quarterbacks have played all season long and done a good job.” The lack of continuity at quarterback is an unfamiliar position for Wake Forest, which relied on Riley Skinner for virtually four full seasons. “It’s new to me as well, because I’ve never seen that in all the years I’ve been here,” senior running back Josh Adams said. “I don’t know what the problem is, or why they’ve been hurt, what the deal is, but hopefully this week all the quarterbacks are back in the rotation. “Riley had a lot of experience,” Adams added. “He knew when and when not to take some hits. Once the guys understand that and understand the importance of the job, and slide instead of going head-first, then we’ll be able to keep some quarterbacks healthy.”

Happy Birthday: This is not a time to reflect on what you should have done but instead to learn from your past and move forward. Put your plans on the table and you will draw the people you need to make your dreams come true. Clever, astute strategy is the key to your success. Posture yourself for a leadership position. Your numbers are 5, 8, 14, 25, 31, 38, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t limit what you can do or let anyone else prohibit you from moving forward with your plans. A little aggression will be needed regarding a partnership but, when dealing with peers and colleagues, approach whomever you disagree with cautiously. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let the changes going on around you create uncertainty or fear. If you become too focused on what might happen, you are apt to make mistakes. Concentrate on doing the best job possible and getting along with everyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Attend functions that can help you connect with people in your industry or who are working in an area you’d like to get into. Opportunities are available but you do have to go after what you want. Children or older relatives will play an important role. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let questions unnerve you. You have to do whatever it takes to relieve personal stress. Taking refuge in familiar territory may comfort you but it won’t solve the problem. Stop hiding. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty cause you to question what you are doing. You have the answers, so stick to your game plan. A problem at home may confuse you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be affected by changes over which you have no control.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Ronnie,” and I have a very active and “different” sex life. I’m happy I have found someone who is so compatible, but it has also presented a problem for me when we’re out with friends. Our bedroom activities occasionally include a third party — a female. I’m perfectly happy with this arrangement because I am the one who initiated it. However, I have a problem with Ronnie’s recruiting practices. He seems to think that because I have one friend who has joined us, all of them are fair game. Most of my friends are not aware of our activities. They’re mainstream, and it’s embarrassing when he propositions them. I try to blame it on booze, but they get offended. I have lost one good friend over it. I have tried repeatedly to explain to Ronnie that there’s a time and a place for everything. He just doesn’t get it. He says not to worry about what others think. I don’t want to end what we have, but I need him to understand that our sex life is not open for discussion among our tight-knit group of friends. Any suggestions? — EMBARRASSED IN JERSEY DEAR EMBARRASSED: Because you have explained to Ronnie that what he’s doing is making you uncomfortable, that not all of your friends are into threesomes and it has already cost you one friend — then face it. He doesn’t WANT to

often? How do I know if he’s the right one? — PANICKED IN PITTSBURGH

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

“get it.” Or, this may be his way of letting you know that he wants to do some recruiting of his own. Before any more of your private business is broadcast, you will have to decide if Ronnie’s ability in the bedroom makes up for the fact that he’s embarrassing in other important social situations. Only you can decide that one. o DEAR ABBY: You probably have heard things like this before, but I don’t know where to turn. I have been dating “Jeff” for five years and we have a lot of fun together. Last week Jeff proposed marriage and — I choked! Now I’m having doubts about everything, and he’s getting impatient with me because I haven’t given him an answer. Things are not going the way I had hoped, Abby. Everything is falling apart. Does this happen

DEAR PANICKED: It doesn’t happen “often,” but panicking at making a lifetime commitment certainly isn’t unheard of. You need to relax, calm down, and realize that you have spent five enjoyable years with Jeff or the relationship would have ended. Then ask yourself how you would feel about a lifetime of similar experiences, and you’ll have the answer you’re looking for. I hope you’ll be very happy together. o DEAR ABBY: I was friendly with a woman I’ll call Paula. In the past, whenever I’d buy a lottery ticket I’d promise to buy her a house if I won. Our friendship has become strained. In fact, we’re no longer friends at all. It has been a year and a half since I’ve spoken to her. Am I legally bound to buy Paula a house if I win? She’s the kind of person who would take you to court and generally try to ruin your life. Could you please give me some advice and help me out of this jam? — WINNER-TO-BE IN STAUNTON, VA. DEAR WINNER-TO-BE: Yes. A verbal agreement is only as good as the paper it is written on.

RI firefighters save 18-foot snake in burning home

Cops: Mass. woman threw dog poop in driver’s face

EAST GREENWICH, R.I. (AP) — Firefighters often have to rescue people from burning homes, sometimes even a dog or cat. But the 18-foot Bermese python that firefighters had to drag out of a burning Rhode Island home just after midnight Monday may have been a first. Acting Chief Peter Henrikson tells The Providence Journal that it took two firefighters to carry out the python with a diameter like a “Frisbee” in the middle. The home’s sole occupant managed to escape on his own and brought out his two dogs and a cat. Henrikson says he hates snakes and wouldn’t go near it. He says it appears the fire started where the pipe of a wood stove met the wall. The East Greenwich house was condemned.

BELMONT, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman faces assault charges after Belmont police said she hit a motorist in the face with a bag of dog feces. Police said Tuesday that the woman, whose name has not been released, admitted tossing doggie dung at the driver because she believed he was speeding. Belmont Lt. Rick Santangelo said the woman initially contacted police last week and reported that she was walking her dog when she saw the motorist nearly hit a man on a bicycle. Santangelo said the motorist contacted police the next day to report being struck in the face with dog feces. The woman was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, vandalism to property and disorderly conduct.

Wash. state golf course vandals put away carts EAST WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Joyriders in Washington state stole six golf carts and tore up the Wenatchee Golf and Country Club — but were thoughtful enough to put the carts back in the storage shed. Police said they plugged in the electric carts and locked up the shed Saturday night before leaving. The Wenatchee World reports two of the carts were damaged and there was significant damage to the golf course.

Fed-up girlfriend calls 911 on pot-smoking beau LEBANON, Mo. (AP) — A 35-year-old man was charged in Missouri with possessing marijuana after his girlfriend called 911 and said she was tired of him smoking pot all day instead of working. Dispatchers in the southwestern Missouri town of Lebanon got a 911 hang-up call Saturday night from a motel room. Police said officers went to the motel and were told by the woman that her boyfriend did nothing during the day but smoke marijuana. The Lebanon Daily Record reported that the man told police his girlfriend was angry because he didn’t have a job yet.

Billy Graham Send your queries to “My Answer,” Billy Graham Evangelistic Assoc., 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, N.C., 28201

God loves the entire world Q: Why should we bother trying to help people in countries that are poorer than us, when we have so many problems in our own nation that need to be solved? -- D.M. A: Have you ever looked into the eyes of a mother whose child is starving, or a father whose family is homeless because of war or natural disaster? If you had (as I have), I seriously doubt if you’d even be asking this question. How can we condemn them to death by refusing to help them? The real question, however, is this: How does God look on those who are suffering or impoverished? The answer is clear: God loves them just as much as He loves us. Most of those who followed Jesus during His time on earth were poor, and suffered from almost every kind of disease. But Jesus didn’t turn His back on them; instead, He welcomed them and helped them. The Bible says, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36). But there is another question I hope you’ll ask yourself: Why are you indifferent to those who are suffering in our world? Why are you reluctant to help them? Is it because you don’t want to let go of your money? Is it because you’re prejudiced against those of other races? Only you can answer this, of course -- but whatever the reason, face it honestly, and ask God to help you deal with it.

NEED A LIFT?

Colleges use car-sharing to cut down congestion across the nation

By JESSIE L. BONNER

Associated Press Writer

BOISE, Idaho — On a campus where students outnumber parking spaces nearly three to one, Boise State University has finally convinced 23-year-old Wayel Alwayel he no longer needs the car he brought to campus with him as a freshman. The new hybrid car parked near the student union building this fall,

available for $8 an hour, sealed the deal. Behind the wheel of the rental, Alwayel realized just how tired he was of paying for his own gas, paying for his own insurance. “Everybody was like, ’How did you get this car?” said Alwayel, a senior who plans to sell his nineyear-old Mitsubishi sedan and rent one of the four Zipcars on campus if he needs to go to the mall or run an

errand. “It’s cheaper,” he said. “You don’t have to pay the gas, you don’t have to have insurance, which is really cool.” Colleges hoping to steer students and faculty away from bringing their vehicles to campus to help relieve parking congestion and promote environmentally friendly transpor-

Fall means color for local leaves

he crock pot has to be one of the best inventions ever. The bonus points of using a crock pot are endless. It is a kitchen appliance that I simply couldn’t live without, especially at this time of year. The ability to throw a few ingredients in a crock pot in the morning and have a full meal prepared for you when you walk in the door is priceless. Evenings can be a crazy time with much to INSIDE be done. See our Along weekly Dining with quick Guide for prepalocal menu ration, options another Pages 4-5C added bonus to the crock pot is the quick clean-up. When you can toss all of the ingredients in one pot to cook and serve out of the same dish, there isn’t a whole lot to wash at the end of the night. Eliminating the need to prepare a full meal and clean a sink full of dishes at the end of the work day provides me with extra time for my family as well as extra time for myself — both of which are precious to me. While the quick prep and clean up make my life much easier, the aroma of a meal cooked in the crock pot is hard to beat. Walking into the house on a cool, crisp day and smelling a warm combination of flavors is heavenly. Yankee Candles have nothing on my crock pot full of meats, veggies and spices. From the second I walk in the door, I feel only the comforts of home and none of the stress of a hectic night ahead. Crock pots also are the perfect solution for stocking up — it is easy to double or triple a recipe and have plenty left over to freeze. In fact, as quickly as some “slow cookers” cook these days, sometimes the more you

2C / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / The Sanford Herald WASHINGTON: A LIFE

THE GAMES THAT CHANGED THE GAME

Chernow writes riveting Ron Jaworski looks at evolution of pro football portrait of Washington By JEFF AYERS For The Associated Press

“Washington: A Life” (Penguin Press, $40), by Ron Chernow

Daunting in both size and scope, this biography by National Book Award winner Ron Chernow examines the life and influence of the first president of the United States. Despite the many volumes written about George Washington, the legend still somehow supersedes the facts. More of an icon than an actual human being, Washington seems almost like a religious figure (witness the painting in the Capitol rotunda, for example). With so many preconceived notions in the reader’s mind before the first page of “Wash-

ington: A Life” is turned, Chernow has a seemingly insurmountable task before him. The complete life of Washington is covered here, from his participation in the French and Indian War to his love of his best friend’s wife. Torn, he began the courtship of a rich widow who would soon become his

wife. Throughout his early life, it’s clear that he is destined for greatness. As Washington grows older and becomes the general of the Revolutionary Army and later the first president of the new country of 13 colonies, a riveting portrait emerges. The result is a flesh-and-blood man with conflicting emotions and sheer magnetism that others respected, whether he was a soldier or a politician. Chernow has written award-winning biographies before tackling the “Father of our Country,” but this is his best book to date. It will now be considered the definitive biography of George Washington, and awards and accolades are sure to follow.

LAUGH, CRY, EAT SOME PIE

Part self-help, part recipes By SARAH SKIDMORE Associated Press Writer

“Laugh, Cry, Eat Some Pie: A Down-toEarth Recipe for Living Mindfully (Even When the World Feels Half-Baked)” (Perigee, $13.95), by Deanna Davis

Deanna Davis mixes personal anecdotes, positive psychology and pie recipes in her latest book, “Laugh, Cry, Eat Some Pie: A Down-toEarth Recipe for Living Mindfully.” It is part self-help and part cookbook. But like many recipes, the result is a matter of taste. Davis is a speaker, entertainer and workshop leader. She is the author of other self-help books such as “The Law of Attraction in Action” and “Living With Intention.”

But her latest effort may be too sweet for some readers. Life — like pie — is about combining ingredients that aren’t always pleasant on their own to create something to be savored, Davis argues. “There is no ’perfect recipe’ for designing your ideal life, only your preferred recipe for ’living it,”’ she writes. In each chapter, Davis weaves a mix of personal

anecdotes and self-help tips with a heavy emphasis on positive psychology. She suggests using the benefits of laughter, friendship and mindfulness to get through life’s rough patches. Each subject has a themed recipe such as “Chocolate Meltdown Pie” and a heavy helping of food puns including a “slice of insight” and “bite by bite” tips for overcoming some of life’s basic mental obstacles. While Davis is familiar with life’s challenges, such as illness, parenthood and death, she relies more heavily on lighthearted stories about speeding tickets, flip-flops and suburban challenges. The stories are charming and the humor is pleasant, but may be too cloying in these tough times for many readers.

“The Games That Changed the Game: The Evolution of the NFL in Seven Sundays” (ESPN Books, $26), by Ron Jaworski The world of professional football has vastly changed over the past 40 years. Former quarterback and now television analyst Ron Jaworski looks at the evolution of this uniquely American sport. With the background to make him an expert, Jaworski highlights seven coaches and what they brought to the game that evolved it to a new and higher level. Each pushed the limits and created either an offense or defense so original that it altered the game forever. Once coach Sid Gillman began utilizing the entire length of the sides of the field for his offense, for example, opposing teams immediately had to shift their

Other visionaries Jaworski shines the spotlight on include Don Coryell, known for his love of the passing game; Bill Walsh, with his West Coast Offense; and Buddy Ryan, whose overpowering defense helped the Chicago Bears win Super Bowl XX.

The story begins in the summer of 1985, with the love story of

every minute detail. Coaches can make immediate changes for the next call based on the success or failure of the previous play. Every move is scrutinized over and over on film during the week by players and coaches alike. When the actual game starts in front of thousands of people both in the stadium and on television, not a single aspect has been overlooked. With the immediate need to succeed placed on the players and coaches, it’s no wonder the game continues to change. Besides the examination of the coaches and their innovative ideas, Jaworksi takes a complete game from their playbook and demonstrates how those ideas shaped the outcome of one game and the evolution of the entire sport. Even the die-hard Sunday fans will learn a lot from this book, and rookies will come away with a greater appreciation and understanding of the game.

Lindsey and Campbell, who have taken advantage of the season’s promised love and adventure and are coming to the close of their time together. They go to the mailbox and Lindsey is introduced to the concept of the Kindred Spirit and writes her first letter. In the next chapter, Whalen has brought us to the summer of 2004, where an older Lindsey is preparing to go to the mailbox alone. What happens in the years between that first summer and present day is chronicled in flashbacks and conversations, which Whalen weaves seamlessly into the story, bringing readers to a better understanding of the characters and their feelings. I thought Whalen did an excellent job with the transitions; I was never lost or confused, and I found the glimpses into the past insightful and intriguing. Overall, this is a warm and satisfying story and one to which I will return again and again. It is a great love story—for those of us who want a good love story—but it is also the story of two people dealing with lives that have not gone as planned, and finding faith and love as they make their way back to the place where their dreams first took root. Whalen’s novel speaks to a storyline with which we are all familiar, as life rarely turns out the way we want or expect it to; her tale of steadfast hope second chances is a positive reminder that even when our dreams are misdirected, they can still become reality.

Keith gets playful on new CD Who was the ‘heartbreaker?’ By MICHAEL McCALL For The Associated Press

Toby Keith, “Bullets In The Gun” (Show DogUniversal) Over the years, Toby Keith has offset his macho country swagger with splashes of tongue-in-cheek fun. The Oklahoman’s new album, “Bullets In The Gun,” focuses more than ever on his lighter side, despite its menacing-sounding title. If the album has a theme, it’s about aggressively masculine guys receiving their comeuppance, from women or from life itself. Keith sets these songs to playful, loping rhythms accented

tation are increasingly turning to the concept of car sharing. Boise State is among more than 30 universities and colleges that have introduced Zipcars to students this fall. The University of Colorado at Boulder works with a local nonprofit, eGO CarShare, to offer a car sharing service to students and faculty, according to its Web site. West Virginia University launched an hourly car rental program last year and has since teamed up with Zipcar Inc. to expand the service. For a generation of college students who grew up downloading music song by song instead of buying entire CDs, the whole borrowing-instead-of-buying concept hasn’t exactly been a hard sell. Throw in the recession, and parents are on board too. “I think one of the key drivers is Zipcar really helps to save people money, and that’s really important to college students, as well as their parents,” said Greg Winter, a spokesman for the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company. There’s also the bling factor, if only for a few hours. When Alwayel, the Boise State student, and his wife, 20-year-old Fatemah, needed a ride to

Hurricanes Continued from Page 1C

Category Three hurricane can cause enough damage that it may take up to two weeks to reach all areas of rural Lee County. Mobile home residents are strongly urged to leave mobile homes (not modular houses) as a strong hurricane storm approaches. Seek shelter with family or friends, or go to a county shelter. A winter ice storm can cause the same isolation problems as a hurricane. An additional problem is the cold. DO NOT use a charcoal or gas grill for heat inside a residence. DO NOT run a generator inside. Be careful with kerosene space heaters. Open flames generate carbon monoxide, which is a deadly colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. Start preparing by buying a little extra non-perishable food each week, and store it for emergency use. After you build a supply, use the oldest that you have stored, and replace it with newly purchased items. Remember, if you store canned food, you need to have a manual can opener available. Store enough water

with slide guitars and quirky musical twists. The songs “Somewhere Else” and “Ain’t Breakin’ Nothin”’ delight in clever word play, while the trucking romp “Drive It On Home” resembles a high-speed Chuck Berry travelogue or a modern version of the highway anthem “Six Days On The Road.” Keith offers a few departures, such as the title song, a narrative about an on-the-run outlaw couple reminiscent of Robert Earl Keen’s great “The Road Goes On Forever.” But for the most part the veteran country star revels in lyrics ripe with redneck humor, as in the song “Trailerhood,”

the Boise Islamic Center for a Ramadan gathering, they left their old car at home and went online to reserve the dark blue Prius parked on campus. “It’s a brand new car, and mine is old,” Alwayel said. While major metropolitan cities have long offered car sharing services, the idea is relatively new to more rural states like Idaho, said Casey Jones, director of transportation and parking at Boise State. The school’s new car sharing service is Idaho’s first, said Jones, who also sits on the International Parking Institute’s board of directors. “That creates some challenges for us, students have much less exposure to the concept,” Jones said. The idea of car sharing was spawned in Switzerland in 1987, when Mobility Car Sharing put its first car on the road in the traffic-congested city of Lucerne. The company now has 2,200 cars at 1,000 locations, according to its Web site. The Swiss company’s success was duplicated in big cities in Austria, France, Sweden and Germany, and the idea spread overseas to Canada in 1995. The first American car-sharing company opened in 1998 in Portland, Ore., where Jones was overseeing the city’s off-street parking system at the time. He was hired at Boise

State earlier this year. From his office on the first floor of a parking garage on the south end of campus, Jones is within earshot of the clamoring of heavy machinery as construction crews work on new buildings, which further reduce available space for surface parking lots. The campus has nearly 20,000 students, about 2,000 faculty and staff, and just 7,000 parking spaces. “It’s pretty easy, using quick math, to know that we don’t have a parking space for everyone,” Jones said. “We’re really moving forward on alternatives to driving alone, more sustainable choices.” The university developed a Web site that allows students to track the free campus shuttle from their computer or cell phone. To encourage more people to bike, the school built special gated areas that can only be accessed by students and faculty who sign up and pay for the security service. The car sharing service primarily targets students who live on campus, but Jones hopes the idea will spread. “There’s a secondary group and that is people like me,” he said. “I ride my bike to work, but there are going to be occasions where I need to go to the dentist or I need to run an errand and I need a car for that. Car sharing is a perfect solution for that kind of thing.”

or other liquid for one gallon per day per family member. If you don’t have water as the storm approaches, you can fill a clean bath tub with water. To use the water, fill a container with the water. Using a medicine dropper, add 8 drops of regular chlorine bleach per gallon of water (16 drops if the water is cloudy), and wait at least a half hour. Filter the water into another container using a clean cloth or towel. The water is drinkable. This does not work with water from a pond, creek, or water hole. Items needed for your emergency kit are: a crank or battery powered radio, a flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit, prescription medications, infant formula if needed, food and water for any pets, important family documents, cash, and other needed personal supplies. Items recommended for your emergency kit are a whistle, a dust mask, moist towellettes, an adjustable wrench or pliers, local maps, and a vehicle charger for your cell phone. Other items to consider for your emergency kit are: a first aid book, sleeping bag

or warm blanket, complete change of clothing, household chlorine bleach, fire extinguisher, matches in a waterproof container, mess kits, paper and pencil, and material to keep children occupied if necessary. An emergency kit including blankets and other survival items are needed for your vehicle during the winter. Individuals also need to receive some training in first aid and fire extinguisher use. In a worse case situation, Fire and EMS will be unable to reach county residents for several days. Residents are encouraged to organize Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) in their community. The training allows community residents to help each other and themselves until help can arrive. Contact Emergency Services at 919 718-4670 for more CERT information.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Think About You All Of The Time” epitomizes Keith’s mischievous point of view. Sung as if in a boastful mood, and set to a good-humored bar-band boogie, the tune finds a tough guy telling his former lover that he doesn’t miss her much — but admits he can’t get her off his mind, either.

: I have just learned that Gene Pitney passed away in 2006. His song, “She’s a Heartbreaker”, is one of the greatest of all rock ballads. Did he write that song? Who was he writing it about?

: Gene Pitney was one of only a handful of artists who had success in the U.S. before and after the British Invasion. He had sixteen Top 40 hits in the U.S. with four reaching the Top Ten. He was more popular in the U.K. where he had eleven Top Ten hits and 22 Top 40 hits. He was also a successful songwriter with “He’s a Rebel” by The Crystals and “Hello Mary Lou” by Rick Nelson to his credit. “She’s a Heartbreaker” was one of his last hits, reaching No. 16 in 1968. The song was written by Charlie Foxx and Jerry Williams Jr. Foxx is famous for writing “Mockingbird” with his sister, Inez. Williams recorded without much success until 1966, when he had a minor R&B hit called “Baby, You’re My Everything”. By 1968, he was writing and producing for other artists, including Pitney. In 1970, he created the persona Swamp Dogg, a moniker that he still uses today. As far as the subject of the song, there has been no written account of who Foxx and Williams had in mind when they wrote the song.

: I was listening to the radio recently and heard a story about the imminent closing of the Liberace museum in Las Vegas. While I certainly have heard of Liberace, I realized that I didn’t know much about him. Can you give me a little biography of him?

: It is, indeed, a sad day for lovers of gold lame, feather boas, rhinestones and candelabras! Due to declining revenue, the board of directors of the Liberace Foundation recently announced that they were going to close the museum, currently located in Las Vegas, Nevada, that has memorialized one of show business’ glitziest performers since it first opened in April 1979. Wladziu (“Walter”) Valentino Liberace was born on May 16, 1919, in West Allis, Wisconsin. He was one of four children, and he

was born into a musical family. His Italian father, Salvatore, played the French horn in the John Phillip Sousa Marching Band. His Polish mother, Frances, played piano. The young Walter was a musical prodigy as a child. According to the official biography found on the Liberace Foundation’s website, the renowned Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski recommended Walter, then seven years old, receive a scholarship to the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, a scholarship which was to last for the next 17 years. He made his debut at age 20 as soloist with the Chicago Symphony under the direction of Dr. Frederick Stock. But Walter, who soon began using only his last name, was destined to be a showman. He made his film debut as a honky tonk pianist in the 1950 Shelley Winters movie, South Sea Sinner. He soon moved to television, and by 1952, he had his own show. It was during this time that he began to perfect his campy stage performances – appearing in ever-more outlandish and campy costumes. Again, according to his official biography, Liberace opened in the Las Vegas Riviera Hotel in 1955 as the highest paid entertainer in the city’s history. By the late-50’s, his popular appeal began to fade a bit, although he continued to be a crowd pleaser until his death in February 1987.

6C / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / The Sanford Herald BAKING WITH BOOZE

Adding liquor to mix takes the cake, or pie By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press

HARD CIDER APPLE PIE

BERKELEY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Classic cake-making calls for eggs, flour, butter and sugar. But some bakers are juicing up the flavor by throwing liquor into the mix. Or, as Terry Lee Stone, co-author of the recently published â&#x20AC;&#x153;Booze Cakesâ&#x20AC;? cookbook puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baking is fun and drinking is fun â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combine them!â&#x20AC;? Stone and Krystina Castella, friends from teaching at a design college in Pasadena, started working on the book after Stone was inspired when making an old cake recipe of her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that called for adding alcohol. But the concoctions they came up with for their book go well beyond the typically tame â&#x20AC;&#x153;add a tablespoon of kirschâ&#x20AC;? school of cooking with liquor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really important to us that you tasted the alcohol,â&#x20AC;? Castella says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first developed the idea, there really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much out there. We found people adding different liquors and alcohols to food, but not much in baking.â&#x20AC;? The recipes they did find generally used liquor as a substitute for vanilla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we would find (recipes calling for) one teaspoon of rum. One teaspoon of rum is not going to really give it a rum flavor. You might need 1/4 cup of rum and then soak it in rum and having rum frosting.â&#x20AC;? Castella and Stone have invited readers to explore variations on their themes and bloggers have enthusiastically taken to it, posting their results on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Booze Cakesâ&#x20AC;? Facebook page. In fact, there seems to

Start to finish: 4 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 8 For the crust: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, well chilled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 tablespoon vodka 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1 tablespoon raw sugar (optional) For the filling: 2 1/2 pounds (about 5 medium) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 3/4-inch slices 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons hard cider, divided 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons cornstarch Zest of 1 lemon To make the crust, in a food processor combine the flour, sugar and salt. Give it a few good pulses to combine. Add the cubes of butter, a few at a time, and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the vodka and then the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together in large clumps. Gather the dough into a ball and divide in half. Flatten each half into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 to 60 minutes. To make the filling, in a large saucepan over high heat, combine the apple slices, 2/3 cup hard cider, the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved and the apples are thickly coated, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of hard cider with the cornstarch. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apples and boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is thick and clear. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon zest, and allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes. Remove both halves of the pie dough from the refrigerator. On a clean, well-floured work surface, roll one disk of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Roll the second half of the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the top of the pie. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together. Trim any excess dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Crimp the edges decoratively with a fork and cut three 2-inch vents in the center of the top crust. Transfer the pie to the freezer and chill for 1 hour, or until it is very cold and the crust is firm to the touch. Heat the oven to 425 F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Brush the top of the pie with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the raw sugar, if using. Bake the pie for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 F and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie brown too quickly, cover them with foil. Cool the pie on a wire rack before serving.

This hard cider apple pie recipe has the apples simmered in the hard cider before adding them to the shell but they could also be simmered in beer or lambic if you prefer. be a surge of interest in baking with libations. A second book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boozy Baker,â&#x20AC;? by the aptly named Lucy Baker, also was released this year. Baker sees a general trend toward slow-paced activities like baking that she views as a reaction to a high-speed, 24-7 world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are looking for ways to relax, to kick back, to reconnect. Having a speakeasy inspired cocktail is one way to do that and another way to do that is baking.â&#x20AC;? Baker was inspired to try adding liquor while looking for something to do with a bottle of ouzo that ended up in her pantry. The anise-flavored drink worked surprisingly well in a cake, and soon she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pouring in a little bit of this and a little bit of that into all my different recipes and finding that it really worked well.â&#x20AC;? The alcohol enhanced the flavor and made dessert â&#x20AC;&#x153;seem a little more indulgent.â&#x20AC;? Her book covers pies, cookies and other desserts as well as cakes, and recipes include a mar-

garita meringue pie and Champagne layer cake. Among her discoveries, ginger liqueur goes great with peach and Port is surprisingly good with fruit. In their book, Castella and Stone tackle a little chemistry along with confectionery, providing a chart on how much alcohol is likely to remain in cakes depending on how large they are and how long they bake. Some of the alcohol burns off, but not all. And whatever you use for soaking or put in frosting, stays there. They cook with spirits, wine and beer and went for some unusual combinations, such as their Jagermeister Deutsch German chocolate cake. They have a chapter on the classics, such as fruit cakes and Black Forest cherry cake, as well as new twists, such as a cocktail cupcake chapter that incorporates the flavors of classic drinks. As they explored alcohol as a flavoring, they found some spirits work better than others.

Castella, who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fond of gin in drinks, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it in cakes either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like it was too antiseptic tasting.â&#x20AC;? But bourbon turned out to be a winner, as did the combination of tequila and chocolate. Cooking with liquor is something that French pastry chefs have done for years, notes cookbook author Dorie Greenspan, whose latest is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around My French Table.â&#x20AC;? Those chefs â&#x20AC;&#x153;always had a little liquor cabinet, often under lock and key, used for flavoring,â&#x20AC;? she said. What seems to be new about the approach is marrying the trend of culinary cocktails, in which liquors are being used in new and creative ways, with baking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a rebirth and a rethinking,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This recipe for Harvest Chicken Stew was created with things that we had on hand at the house. It was quick, tasty, aromatic and plentiful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of the ingredients that my hectic life was calling for this past weekend.

How to save on your final farewell

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Are there any affordable ways to die these days? When my father died a few months ago we had a regular funeral for him and got stuck with a $12,000 bill. Are there any funeral cost-cutting tips or cheaper alternatives that you can recommend? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T AFFORD TO DIE

DEAR CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T: Depending on how you want to go, there are various ways to make a final farewell more affordable, but it requires a little homework and preplanning. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

Funeral savers

With the average cost of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;full-serviceâ&#x20AC;? funeral running around $10,000 today, there are ways to save if you plan ahead. If a traditional funeral and burial is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in, your first step is to shop around and compare funeral providers, because prices do vary. Another way to lower your costs is to buy your own casket. You can save at least 50 percent by purchasing one from a store versus the funeral home, and the funeral home providing the service must accept it (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the law). Two good casket shopping resources that may surprise you are Walmart (visit walmart. com and type in â&#x20AC;&#x153;casketâ&#x20AC;? in their search engine)

Jim Miller Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org.

and Costco (costco.com) who offers its members a large variety of caskets and urns at discounted prices. And to help you avoid getting charged for any extra services you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for, take advantage of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;funeral rule.â&#x20AC;? This is a federal law that requires funeral directors to provide you with an itemized price list of their products and services so you can choose exactly what you want. Be sure to ask for it! Finally, while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart move to preplan a funeral, paying in advance can be risky. In many states thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no requirement that funeral homes deposit your money in safe investments or refund it if you change your mind, move, or if the funeral home goes out of business or is bought out by another company. If, however, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in looking

beyond a traditional funeral, there are a variety of other options that you may have never thought about that are very affordable, such as: n Cremation: An increasingly popular and inexpensive way to go, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;direct cremationâ&#x20AC;? without a memorial service can cost as little as $500 to $1,000. If your family wants a service, they can have it at home or your place of worship after the cremation, in the presence of your remains. Another cost-cutter is to buy an urn online. Urns sold by the funeral industry are overpriced. See cremation.com for more information and a U.S. directory of funeral homes that offer cremation. n Direct Burial: Also known as an immediate burial, this skips the embalming, viewing and ceremonies. If the family wants a memorial service they can have it at home without the body. Direct burials usually cost under $2,000, plus cemetery charges that can range from $1,000 to several thousand. All funeral homes offer direct burial. n Green Burial: Environment-friendly and affordable, going green costs anywhere from $1,000 to several thousand depending on the provider.

leaf color change, but we understand the basics. Pigments in the leaf, the duration of darkness (night), and weather all influence autumn leaf color. Perhaps the least variable of these factors is the increasing length of night darkness, which occurs in the fall. This factor greatly determines when leaves will turn color and when they will fall from the tree. There are three main pigments that affect the color of a treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaves. The most important pigment is chlorophyll. This pigment accounts for the green color typical of most plant leaves. Chlorophyll molecules are essential in absorbing and transferring light in the process of photosynthesis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a process used by plants to convert sunlight into sugars to fuel growth.

Carotenoids are pigments that produce yellows, oranges, and browns such as in corn, carrots, and bananas. Chlorophyll and carotenoids are always present in leaves during the growing season. The third pigment is anthocyanin, which produces red and purple colors such as in cranberries and blueberries. Anthocyanins are produced mostly during autumn. Once night length begins to increase in the fall, chlorophyll production starts to slow down. Production will cease completely and all chlorophyll will be destroyed as fall progresses. This allows the other color pigments, carotenoids and anthocyanins, to bear their brilliant colors. The fall color show depends heavily on the weather conditions prior to and during the decrease in chlorophyll. The ideal conditions for a brilliant leaf color change are a warm wet

spring, favorable summer weather (no drought!) and warm sunny fall days with cool crisp nights. Freezing temperatures prevent good color development. Severe drought prior to fall can delay or prevent color formation. This year, many trees are dropping their leaves early as a response to the dry weather conditions. Leaves eventually fall from the tree because the veins carrying water and nutrients to the leaves close up. This creates a separation layer at the base of the leaf petiole. Leaf fall is an adaptation by deciduous

trees to survive freezing temperatures and other harsh winter elements. Evergreens have adapted by producing waxy needle-like or scale-like leaves that resist freezing temperatures and prevent water loss.

What are Phytochemicals and what do they do?

ruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, seeds — yes, there are reasons why you’re constantly being told to eat them. They’re healthy! And one of the key elements that makes these foods healthy is a group of compounds called phytochemicals.

Q A

: What are phytochemicals?

: Phytochemicals are biologically active, non–nutrient compounds naturally occurring in plant foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, seeds). The word “phyto” is taken from the Greek word meaning plant. So phytochemicals are plant chemicals. Antioxidants are a particular kind of phytochemical with specific properties that have been found to protect humans against disease. All types of phytochemicals are nature’s way of protecting plants from disease and thus increasing their survivability. They affect humans in a variety of ways — from imitating hormones (e.g., phytoestrogens) to altering blood ingredients in ways that may protect against some diseases. According to Karen Collins, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., nutrition adviser to the American Institute for Cancer Research, there are two key concepts to understand about phytochemicals. “First, different plant foods contain different phytochemicals, each of which seems to act in slightly different ways on parts of cells. So to get the widest array of benefits, eating a variety of plant foods is important. And second, phytochemicals seem to work best in combination with one another. So even though you can get some particular phytochemical that you hear about as

state, 100 percent whole grains, nuts and beans contain more protective phytochemicals. When a food is processed, most times it’s stripped of many of these protective phytochemicals.

beneficial in supplement form, current research suggests that it will not function the same way when taken in isolation as it does when consumed as part of a food and a plant–based diet supplying a host of other phytochemicals.”

: What is the difference between an antioxidant and a phytochemical?

: According to Victoria J. Drake, Ph.D., a research associate at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University: “Some, but not all, phytochemicals have been shown to exhibit antioxidant activity. For example, flavonoids, which are found in tea, red wine, fruits, vegetables and legumes, are effective antioxidants in the test tube.” So there is both a difference and an overlap between the two terms. All antioxidants are phytochemicals but not all phytochemicals are antioxidants. Most phytochemicals being studied for health reasons do function as antioxidants, but many serve additional functions that are unrelated to their role as antioxidants.

: Are phytonutrients the same as phytochemicals?

: According to Collins: Currently, the terms “phytonutrient” and “phytochemical” are being used interchangeably to describe those plant compounds that are thought to have health–protecting qualities. Technically, though, the term phytochemical often refers specifically to compounds in plant foods that are biologically active in terms of promoting health but are not essential nutrients. (So, for example, the folate and vitamin C found in plant foods are

phytonutrients rather than phytochemicals.)

: How do phytochemicals fight disease? What’s the relation to fighting cancer?

: Many phytochemicals are antioxidants, and antioxidants seem to protect against many chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and more). “However, exciting research continues to identify pathways through which phytochemicals impact health that seem to be outside their role as antioxidants. For example, some phytochemicals seem to stimulate enzymes that deactivate carcinogens before they can cause the initial cell damage that can begin the process of cancer development, while others can ‘turn on’ tumor–suppressor genes (through what are called epigenetic modifications) that trigger already–formed cancer cells to stop dividing and self–destruct,” says Collins.

: Would you say that industrially processed foods are likely to contain fewer phytochemicals than unprocessed foods and that these foods may, therefore, be less beneficial?

: Can you explain the importance of bioavailability of phytochemicals?

: “To be effective, a phytochemical generally needs to be absorbed by the cells of our body. So effects seen in test tube studies don’t necessarily show what a phytochemical will do in our bodies,” says Collins. For instance, a lab study might use grapes in much larger quantities than we would ever consume or absorb in order to show their ability to prevent disease. “We also now are learning that the same phytochemicals may be more bioavailable to some people than others — because of differences in absorption and because of genetic differences in how quickly the compounds are metabolized and excreted. That would be one reason why different research studies sometimes seem to provide differing results,” adds Collins.

: What do colors have to do with phytochemicals? Many phytochemicals are pigments that give plant foods their color. For example, lycopene is red, and several other carotenoids (i.e., beta carotene) are deep orange.

Q A

: Can you get them from a pill?

: Large doses of purified phytochemicals added to foods may produce effects vastly different from those of phytochemicals in whole foods.

and responsibility. The 4-H program also believes in the importance of service learning and teaching young people the value of helping others in need. Over the next few months, North Carolina 4-H will launch a statewide initiative to fight hunger in every county across our state. Recent studies have shown that hunger disrupts the lives of 1 in 5

children in North Carolina on a daily basis. In May 2009, Feeding America released the results of its first analysis of food insecurity in early childhood entitled, “Child Food Insecurity in the United States: 2005 - 2007.” In this study, North Carolina ranked second worst in the nation with 24.1 percent of its children under 5 judged to be food insecure and lacking regu-

: Unprocessed foods such as vegetables and fruits in their natural

Phytochemicals in Action n Allyl sulfides: Foods such as onions, garlic, scallions and chives contain compounds called allyl sulfides. Although mainly known for making your eyes water, allyl sulfides are believed to enhance immune function, inhibit tumor growth, facilitate carcinogen excretion and reduce serum cholesterol levels. n Glucosinolates: Broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, watercress, turnips and cabbage are not only loaded with vitamins and minerals but also contain phytochemicals called indoles and isothiocyanates, collectively called glucosinolates. These compounds have been shown to trigger enzyme systems that eliminate carcinogens from the body and to increase the expression of genes that suppress tumor development. They also appear to reduce tumor size and work against the high levels of estrogen associated with breast cancer. However, the long–term effects of indole–3–carbinol supplementation on cancer risk in humans are not known. n Carotenoids: The most famous of all the phytochemicals, carotenoids such as alpha and beta carotene are pigments that give many fruits and vegetables their vibrant color. They also seem to be antioxidants that help offset the damage done by oxidation, a normal metabolic process that can leave the body vulnerable to cancer, heart disease, macular degeneration and accelerated aging. Food sources include dark–green, orange or red fruits, and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and broccoli. Lycopene, another famous carotenoid found in tomatoes, appears to play a pow-

lar access to nutritional food. The state was 10th worst in the same Feeding America study of food insecurity in children 0-18 years old. Hunger is not just a problem we see on television in a country far away, but rather a local issue that is affecting the health, welfare, and the ability to learn of many of our children right here in Lee County. To combat hunger the

erful role in preventing prostate cancer. More recently, it has also been shown to help prevent stomach cancer. n Phytoestrogens: Soy foods, especially tofu, tempeh and miso, contain phytoestrogens that may protect against certain cancers, particularly hormone–sensitive cancers such as those of the breast, endometrium and prostate. Phytoestrogens such as genistein, daidzein and lignans, interfere with sex hormone metabolism, which often goes awry in these types of cancers. However, some recent studies done on animals and with test tube cultures suggest that phytoestrogens may actually stimulate growth of breast cancers that are estrogen–sensitive. More research is needed to clarify the effects of phytoestrogens on breast cancer. Phytoestrogens have also been associated with reducing bad (LDL) cholesterol levels. n Polyphenols: Polyphenols include ellagic acid, tannic acid, vanillin, caffeic, chlorogenic and ferulic acid. Found in almost all plant foods but especially strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, walnuts and pecans, polyphenols are thought to prevent the conversion of substances into carcinogens and to inhibit cell mutations. n Flavonoids: Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds found in fruits, vegetables, wine, tea and chocolate that exhibit antioxidant activity. These pervasive substances may defend cells against carcinogens, curb the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. n Phytosterols: Phytosterols bind cholesterol in the gut and inhibit its absorption into the blood. Sources include unrefined vegetable oils, whole grains, nuts and legumes.

NC 4-H Youth Development program and the Food Banks of North Carolina, all of which are affiliates of “Feeding America” our nation’s largest hunger-relief organization, have teamed up to promote awareness of hunger in North Carolina and to make an impact in local communities through a new initiative entitled “Hungry to Help.” According to Dr. Marshall Stewart, State 4-H Leader, “ Exciting plans are underway to prepare 4-H’ers, 4-H volunteers and alumni to host a variety of hunger awareness programs, can food drives (virtual and real) and sponsor hunger related volunteer efforts in their local communities. Extension offices across the state will become “dropoff” locations for can food collections and the entire Extension family is gearing up to prepare participants to be citizen leaders for hunger relief.” 4-H recognizes that knowledge and understanding are powerful tools in the battle to end hunger, and that food insecurity undermines our nation’s investments in education and health care. Please join the Lee County 4-H program as it looks to bring this “Hungry to Help” initiative to our community in the coming months in an effort to combat local food insecurity issues and assist those in need.
