DESCRIPTION
The Sanford HeraldTRANSCRIPT
For decades, the sheriff in Lee Coun-ty was a Democrat.
That changed in 2006 when Republican Tracy
Carter won in his second attempt at the offi ce.
It’s a position many be-
lieve to be the highest elected county seat in states like North Carolina — southern states where a sheriff has to be a law enforcement offi cer, a manager, a budget guru and a politician.
Originally happy to have “one of their own” in offi ce, many
Lee County Republicans have expressed disappointment with Carter’s recent endorsements of local Democrats in state and county races. Last week, Carter appeared in a newspaper ad with Democratic commissioner candidate Butch Johnson, and

BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF LEE COUNTY
BILLY LIGGETT/The Sanford Herald
Taisia Johnson was named the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County’s 2010 “Youth of the Year” at a banquet this week. Johnson says the club has taught her to be a leader and a more peaceful person.
Teen credits club for her leadership, maturityBy JENNIFER [email protected]
SANFORD—On her fi rst day at the Lee County Boys and Girls Club nine years ago, Taisia John-son was content to stand back and observe from the sidelines.
“I was scared, probably not willing to open up yet,” said the sophomore at Lee Senior High. “I was shy, which is really not in my character.”
Before long, Johnson found
friends “who clicked with me,” and she has since made the club a cornerstone of her life.
“I never stopped going,” she said. “I worked my way up and started showing leadership to the young kids.”
Recounting that long-ago ex-perience, and how she has grown into a self-assured young adult, helped Johnson win the club’s coveted “Youth of the Year” title last week. In an essay format, the 15-year-old explained what the
Boys and Girls Club means to her. “It has taught me how to be a
leader and how to be a peaceful person,” Johnson said. “I learned how to communicate with other people, to not be so timid at times and just go for it.”
Taisia’s grades are “off the charts,” said club teen director William Johnson, but her most outstanding attribute is her mettle.

SANFORD — Grant Hol-mes Sr. felt a bit overwhelmed walking the halls of the restored W.B. Wicker School, now known as the W.B. Wicker Business Campus.
“I didn’t expect to see what I see now,” he said. “It feels really great to see the build-ing is back and being used for educational purposes again.”
Holmes was at Wicker for the open house for Central Carolina Community College’s
Lifelong Learning Center. The Center occupies most of the space in the former school as well as two classroom pods on the property.
The Lifelong Learning Center includes CCCC’s Adult Education and Continuing Education programs as well as the administrative offi ce of the Triangle South Workforce Development Board. The college’s dental hygiene and dental assisting programs are

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / 3AOur StateASHEVILLE
Cemetery tour offers window into Wolfe’s worldBy JOHN BOYLEThe Asheville Citizen-Times
ASHEVILLE (AP) — No one’s talking in Riverside Cemetery, but the place is full of stories.
Opened in 1885, the 87-acre cemetery in Montford is the fi nal resting place of many of Asheville’s most promi-nent citizens. Perhaps most notable among those is famed author Thomas Wolfe, who lies for eternity just feet from his parents and seven of eight siblings.
As Sunday is the 110th anniversary of Wolfe’s birth, offi cials with the Thomas Wolfe Memorial State Historic Site down-town decided to honor the author of “Look Homeward, Angel” with a tour of the cemetery.
The emphasis will be on the history of the Wolfe family, as well as many of the other colorful characters who made up the Asheville of Wolfe’s life.
“The fi rst thing that comes to mind is it’s re-ally a tour of the history of Asheville,” said Jan Hensley, a Greensboro
resident and member of the Thomas Wolfe Society who has been on several tours in the past.
“You see the old fam-ily names, and you tie those into Wolfe it’s just phenomenal,” Hensley said. “You know O. Henry, Thomas Wolfe, Vance — all those people are buried there — and you sort of relive the history of the period.”
Wolfe’s father ran a monument shop in Asheville, and several of his headstones and other monuments are still vis-ible in the cemetery.
Cast of charactersBesides the Wolfe
family, several of the thinly veiled characters Wolfe featured in “Look Homeward, Angel,” pub-lished in 1929, are buried in Riverside, including former North Carolina governors Locke Craig (“Preston Carr”) and Ze-bulon Vance (“Zachariah Joyner”).
The book caused an uproar in Asheville, where many residents took Wolfe to task for the unfl attering portrayal of
the city and its people.Margaret E. Roberts,
a teacher at the North State Fitting School who encouraged Wolfe to pur-sue his dream of writing, also is buried there, next to her husband, John Munsey Roberts.
Ironically, it was years before Mrs. Roberts could forgive Wolfe for the book’s unfl attering portrayal of her husband. They appeared as “John and Margaret Leonard.”
Tour guides Sunday will be Wolfe site man-ager Steve Hill and op-erations manager Chris Morton. When they get talking about Wolfe, you could spend an eternity in Riverside Cemetery, learning the intriguing history of Asheville and Wolfe.
But they promise to keep the tours to about an hour and 15 minutes. The excursions have been quite popular in the past.
“It’s been several years since we did the last tour, and a lot of people had asked us about doing it again,” Hill said. “Wolfe is kind of fading as a writer, and we’re trying
to interest people in his writings by different ap-proaches.”
Born Oct. 3, 1900, Wolfe died Sept. 15, 1938, from tuberculosis of the brain. He’s the author of numerous short sto-ries, as well as classic American novels, includ-ing “Look Homeward, Angel,” “Of Time and the River” and “You Can’t Go Home Again.”
Other intriguing folksThe guides will also
point out other intrigu-ing characters in Ashe-ville’s history who rest in Riverside but aren’t nec-essarily in Wolfe’s books. These include:
❏ Richard Sharp Smith, an architect who worked on the Biltmore House, Biltmore Village and numerous homes and buildings in Ashe-ville.
❏ George Masa, Japanese immigrant and famed photographer of the Great Smokies.
❏ Benjamin Addison and James Bailey. Ad-dison, a storekeeper, and Bailey, a police offi cer, were killed by outlaw
Will Harris in downtown Asheville in November 1906. Addison’s tomb-stone is inscribed “Killed by a desperado.”
❏ Erwin Sluder, the man who in 1883 built the original “Old Ken-tucky Home” house at 48 Spruce St., which Julia Wolfe later turned into her boardinghouse. Wolfe memorialized it in “Look Homeward, Angel” as “Dixieland.”
❏ Max Whitson, who rented Wolfe a cabin in Oteen when the writer returned to Asheville in 1937.
❏ The Wolfe family. Tom’s parents, Julia and W.O., are buried there, as well as nearly all of his siblings, including Ben, who died in the 1918 infl uenza epidemic and Wolfe wrote about memorably. Also, the business inscription of W.O. Wolfe, a monument maker, is clear on some of the stones and monu-ments in the cemetery, including that of Ella Rosalie Campbell.
The cemetery, owned by the city of Asheville, also is the permanent home of numerous
Confederate soldiers, several soldiers whose tombstones mentioned “Indian Removal,” and a memorial to 18 German sailors who spent part of World War II in a Hot Springs prison camp and died here.
“I don’t know how many times I’ve come through here and then gone to the library to look something up (that intrigued me),” Hill said.
The tour guides try to stick to Wolfe, although they won’t prevent you from roaming a bit. De-pending on the weather, though, you might not be in any hurry to leave the pleasant rolling hills shaded by massive, stately oaks.
Hill will issue one warning upfront, though: While the cemetery does contain one large angel from W.O. Wolfe’s shop, on the grave of Lucy Ann Cliff, it does not contain the angel that inspired the title of “Look Home-ward, Angel.”
“That’s one of the myths we dispel,” Hill said. “It’s down in a cem-etery in Hendersonville.”
GREENSBORO
Trail signs may speed rescuesGREESNBORO (AP)
— Residents using Guilford County trails can count on a quicker response to emergencies, thanks to an Eagle Scout project more than three years in the making.
The Trails Project — an idea crafted in 2007 by Eagle Scout Austin Zim-merman — went live last week when computers in emergency vehicles countywide were linked to plotted points along Guil-ford County trailways.
That’s the technical side to a simple idea of putting up numbered signs along trails and near lakes to be used as reference points for 911 callers in the event of an emergency
Zimmerman got the idea when he was enrolled in the Guilford County fi re youth job exploration program, which included a ride-along on a fi retruck with his father, Greensboro Fire Battalion Chief Steve Zimmerman.
During one of the ride-alongs, fi re crews went looking for a woman who called 911 one evening after it had gotten dark.
She had been walking along a trail, got lost and couldn’t fi nd her way back to her car.
“It took 21/2 hours to fi nd (the woman) who was lost on the trail,” said Zim-merman, 19.
His idea, which he used to obtain his Boy Scout Eagle badge, was to mark trailways and areas near lakes with 9-inch diamond-shaped placards.
Each sign lists the name of the trail, the distance back to its starting point and a unique number assigned to that loca-
tion, which is marked as a mapped point at Guilford Metro 911 and now in computers in emergency vehicles.

LEE COUNTY
Man accused ofchoking his son
SANFORD — A Sanford man accused of choking his 8-year-old son was arrested Wednesday, investigators said.
Deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Offi ce said James Michael Folk Jr., 32, of 4858 Steele Bridge Road, was booked on felony child abuse charges for the Sept. 28 incident.
Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Sheriff’s Offi ce said Folk was accused of the abuse by the boy’s mother. The child was left with a sprained neck and bruises that required treat-ment by an area physician, Johnson said.
Folk “didn’t confess to choking him, but he did admit to grabbing the boy around the back of the neck,” John-son said Thursday.
The boy was not checked into a hospital, the Sheriff’s Offi ce said, but he was still under a doctor’s care as of Thursday.
Folk has no history of child abuse, Johnson said. He was released under a $10,000 unsecured bond and had his fi rst court appearance scheduled for Thursday.
Folk does not have a history of criminal convictions in North Carolina, according to N.C. Department of Correc-tions records.

FAYETTEVILLE — North Carolina sheriff’s deputies say they’ve solved a 1974 homicide after a friend of the victim steered detectives to a man who died more than a decade ago.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Offi ce said Friday one of 21-year old Anthony King’s friends recently con-tacted detectives about the slaying and provided informa-tion. King was shot in the chest and his body found in a street outside of Fayetteville.
Detectives say the new information pinned the killing on Waylon Perry Sauls, who died in 1997. Investigators say Sauls killed King over a $300 drug debt owed to Sauls’ son. Both Sauls and King were from Sanford.

“It’s her attitude,” Johnson said. “She has one of the most confi dent attitudes I’ve ever seen in a teenager.”
Johnson faced stiff com-petition from others in the club who, like her, had been named Youth of the Month during the year. Those who had earned that distinction faced a panel of four judges, including Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive.
Among other attributes, the judging panel was looking for a strong pres-ence, clarity of thought and service to the community. While Johnson was one of the youngest in the run-ning, Olive said, “she was mature in her presentation” and “seemed comfortable in her skin.”
“She was poised, very enthusiastic,” the mayor continued. “It was clear she knew what she wanted to say and how she wanted to say it.”
According to Olive, the judging process got person-al at times with questions about candidates’ home lives and ambitions. While club members have faced all manner of adversity, she said, they continue to rise to the occasion.
“It was uplifting to see how these bright these young people are, and how hard they are working,” Olive said.
Johnson is at the Boys and Girls Club most week-day afternoons, where she assists other members with their homework and helps with other tasks. When her mother, Joy, brought her to the club as a kindergartner, she was working in Raleigh and looking for a safe, posi-tive place for her daughter to spend time after school.
“It’s taught her leader-ship,” Joy said, “and how to get along with all types of people from all types of
backgrounds. ... It’s exposed her to what her future could look like.”
Refl ecting on her nine years with the club, Johnson said workshops and college visits with the teen director stand out in her memory.
“Mr. J’s workshops, they really stick with you,” she said. “Every trip we take with him, every workshop we do, it all has a purpose.”
In the long term, John-son aspires to study law and theater at Howard Univer-sity. She is certain that one day, her aptitude for debate will make her a successful defense attorney.
More immediately, John-son would like to be more active in school sports, in-cluding basketball, softball and track, and to become even more involved with the drama program. She is already preparing for parts in upcoming productions such as “The Panic Broad-cast of 1938” and “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”
“I’ve always been a dra-ma queen,” she quipped, “so I fi t right in.”
For all her outgoing-ness and self possession, winning Youth of the Year was a humbling moment for Johnson. Olive made the presentation Wednesday during a ceremony also attended by Congressman Bob Etheridge.
“I was extremely shocked,” Johnson said. “When I got up there to give my acceptance speech, all I said was thank yous, thank yous and more thank yous.”
After her win, Johnson is eligible to compete for “Youth of the Year” at the state level. As Lee County’s representative in that contest, she will be writing an essay about the impor-tance of post-secondary education. Asked whether she can take the higher title, Johnson answered with typical aplomb.
“Of course,” she said. “I think I can take it all the way.”

SANFORD — Nearly 100 people attended the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sanford’s an-nual awards banquet this past Wednesday. Children from both of the local sites were recognized for their accomplishments over the past year.
The club also received a surprise announce-ment from Congressman Bob Etheridge when he informed them that they would be receiving $150,000 from congress and the Offi ce of Justice Programs to support its $550,000 2011 budget.
The night included entertainment from the Club Step Team and singing from 9-year-old N’dia Lee who sang “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” Individual awards for the different Club pro-grams were given to:

Volunteers were also recognized for their con-tributions over the past year. Joe Wild, known to the club members as the “Bike Man,” was recog-
nized for refurbishing and donating more 20 bikes to the club in the past three years. Jerraysheya Fox, a long time club member and junior at Southern Lee, was recognized with the President’s Volunteer Service Award for 140 hours of mentoring and volunteering with younger club members over the past year.
Derion Swann was the recipient of the club’s overall Character and Leadership Award, which is named after Dr. “Gus” Oelrich. Derion is a senior at Lee County High School and was recognized for his consistent leadership and commitment to achieve on all levels. Teen Director Wil-liam Johnson said Swann was praised for his work at HAVEN in Lee County where he was employed until budget cuts cost him
the part-time position. Since then, he has pur-sued other employment opportunities resulting in employment with the local Big Lots retail store.
“This young man is a top notch example for his peers to follow. He is very considerate of everyone around him and takes it upon himself to take care of himself, his family and others,” said Johnson.
Sanford Mayor Corne-lia Olive, who served on the judging panel for the Youth of the Year Competi-tion, thanked her fellow judges: Harriett Tice, Jim Fulton, and David Ellerby for reviewing the essays and interviewing this year’s nominees. The Youth of the Year candidates included: Jerraysheya Fox, Derion Swann, India Berryman, Taisia Johnson, Daven McLean, and Joseph Hart.
Johnson was announced as this year’s winner.
Etheridge made closing remarks and surprised the Club with a check for $150,000 from the offi ce of Justice Programs to be used for a club mentoring program in 2011. In his introduction comments for the Congressman, Bo Hedrick, the club’s execu-tive, said Etheridge and a handful of colleagues in Washington were responsi-ble for leading the effort to secure $40 million in pass-through funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of America to distribute to local clubs to support their efforts.
“Make no mistake, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ameri-ca and our local Club would not have support of this kind without the direct efforts of Congressman Etheridge and a few others on Capital Hill,” Hedrick said.

THUMBS DOWN:ELLMERS MISSING IN LEE
The 2nd District Congressio-nal seat held by Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) has never been more vulnerable.
The rising tide of senti-ment against the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration’s failure to boost economic recov-ery, combined with increasing awareness of Etheridge’s Nancy Pelosi-like voting tendencies, have made the seat — which represents all or parts of 10 counties, including Lee — ripe for takeover by the GOP. Ether-idge’s now-infamous “Who are
you?” viral video encounter have created even more back-lash against the incumbent, who fi rst took the seat in 1997. His chief opposition in the November election, however, keeps standing Lee County up. Aside from some fund-raising appearances, Renee Ellmers doesn’t seem to like spending time here. She’s blown off two recent major candidate forums, including last week’s CEAD (Council for Effective Actions and Decisions) event.
Local voters eager to fi nd out about Ellmers are having a tough time. Granted, Ellmers needs funds to promote her candidacy, and she could not get a single Lee County vote and still win in a landslide. But
it would be nice if she would cross the county line once in awhile and tell her potential constituency why she deserves their votes.
THUMBS UP:A LITTLE CULTURE
Today is a special day at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Cen-ter, as fi ve Chinese musicians from the Music Department of Nanjing Normal University will perform here in Sanford. This event is an offspring from the Confucius Classroom which was established last fall at Central Carolina Com-munity College. As Marcie Dishman, director of marketing and public affairs
for the college, told The Herald, “The whole idea of the Con-fucius Classroom is to spread Chinese language and cul-ture, and this is certainly one of those opportunities.” Lee County should be proud to host this world-class program that opens doors so that we might view other parts of the world right here in our own home county.
THUMBS UP:GETTING SPOOKED
When scores of people toured downtown Sanford on a cool October night last year to search for ghosts and things that go bump in the night, little did they know they were getting a history lesson as well.
But that’s exactly what’s being done as a result of the in-
creasingly popular ghost tours hosted by the National Society of Paranormal Investigation and Research, which claims historic buildings like Temple Theatre and the Railroad House in Depot Park are crawling with paranormal activity.
Whether they are or aren’t, people are getting historic tours of these places and learning about their scary back-stories.
Kudos to NSPIR’s Donna Strickland and local historian Jimmy Haire for their work in making this happen. It’s a fun event, and it’s great promotion for a downtown area we feel more people should be getting to know anyway.
Each election cycle, I become very aware of campaign signs.
It’s such an antiquated way of self promotion — a piece of cardboard on two skinny metal sticks stuck in a soft bed of grass. Their purpose — to catch the eye of oncoming motorists for a second or two ... no agendas stated, no platforms addressed, no promises.
Just a name, a party and the offi ce being sought. On a few occasions, a cute slogan or a motto.
They shouldn’t be effective, but apparently they are. Why else would candidates fork out hard-earned campaign bucks to plant them on every street corner or grassy knoll in the county. Look at it this way — there are a few commissioner candidates without a website this year, but none of them are without yard signs.
For the past few weeks, The Herald has presented profi les, Q&As and other stories in an effort to inform voters on the issues com-ing up in the Nov. 2 election. Next week, we’ll analyze each local race on our editorial page and will ultimately choose our endorsements for each race.
But today, I’m going to analyze the politi-cal signs. Some may think there isn’t a lot that can be taken from a little sign. But I contend that you can learn a lot about a candidate by the colors and images they choose on their yard signs.
U.S. CONGRESS
First, I apologize for the “squished” images above ... it was the only way I could make them both fi t.
Regardless, you get the idea. And because we’re not printing on a color page, you’ll just have to trust me when I say both candidates’ signs are red and blue print on a white back-ground.
Had I not known either candidate, I could tell you two things just from their signs alone.
1) Bob Etheridge is so confi dent that voters in his district know him well, he makes his fi rst name the most eye-catching part of the sign.
And it’s true. “Ole Bob” is what a lot of our letter writers have been calling him (both as a term of endearment and as a criticism for his being a “good ole boy).
“Etheridge” is a long word, of course, and needs to be smaller, but they could have made “Bob” small as well and made the star bigger. But “Bob” sells, and for Etheridge, it works.
2) From the signs alone, I can tell you Bob Etheridge is a Democrat and Renee Ellmers is a Republican.
And here’s why ...Looking at Bob’s star and the two lines
next to it, it looks like his star is moving to the left. Ellmers’ star, meanwhile, is moving right (albeit in a more creative manner).
Democrats are considered to be “left lean-ing,” while Republicans tend to “lean right.”
Think this was accidental? I don’t.I haven’t done all my homework on this,
but from what I’m told, the star and two lines have appeared on Etheridge signs in past elec-tions. If that’s the case, perhaps somebody on the Ellmers campaign said, “Hey, his star leans left ... let’s have our star lean right.”
And, this person said, Etheridge’s star is boring ... let’s give ours a curvy motion.
If all that really happened ... then it’s bril-liant. If it’s all coincidence, then I suppose I’m brilliant for pointing it out.
Of course, it wouldn’t be an election in Lee County if there weren’t some kind of sign controversy. Two years ago, the “No Taxes. No Hincks” signs appeared ... the controversy be-ing that documents “may” have been forged by those claiming to pay for them. This year, the controversy isn’t quite as serious. Look below (this is an actual photo along U.S. 1) ...
Actually, I fi nd it more childish and less humorous. Perhaps it’s payback for the chalk outline at the GOP headquarters.
All that I CAN confi rm is that it’s a hoax sign and not Etheridge’s attempt to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Read more sign analysis at my blog — http://billyliggett.wordpress.com — through-out the week beginning Monday. Have a great Sunday and happy electioneering.

Etheridge isn’t the manhe portrays himself aswhile in North Carolina
To the Editor:RE: Letter from Rev. Tom Spence
about Bob Etheridge’s strong charac-ter
Rev. Spence, I believe you’re blindedby only seeing one side of Bobby instead of the side I and many others have seen. Does “Who are you?” come to mind? That’s not an example of high character.
You say that Renee Ellmers launched her tv ads with outside interests? Really? What do you call Bobby having a $2,500-per-plate barbecue one block from the Capitol? Homegrown? I didn’t get an invitation.
But I bet some prominent individu-als in D.C. did. And I seriously doubt any college students with cell phones were there.
You’re espousing the left’s rhetoric. I guess I’m one of those “outside in-terests” since I’ve contributed to her campaign. Yes, I confess. I am one of those constituents who Bobby has represented so well by voting with Pelosi, Reid and Frank on the health care bill, fi nance reform, TARP and stimulus bills even though we were screaming “No!” Bobby isn’t listening to us.
Bobby also has claimed he wakes up every day worried about me. Really? Bobby is also siding with this administration on border(less) security while U.S. citizens are being murdered. He applauded a foreign dictator who criticized a state.
Rev. Spence, have you read the Constitution? Bobby took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, not the United States minus Arizona. Bobby’s not listening.
He also says he’s so worried about how to create jobs. Do you really believe that? Before you answer, CCCC has a college course called microeconomics. Please sign up and allow me to pay for it. The fi rst thing you will learn is government doesn’t create jobs.
Bobby also is on the political side that wants God out of everything. They have managed to take God out of school and anything else they can get their sticky hands on. Our very own president conveniently leaves out the words, “One nation UNDER GOD,” and giving credit to the creator for our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Need more proof? Just let me go put a nativity scene beside that “mosque” at Ground Zero and see what happens. Which side would you be on then?
Darn I have to end this rant. It’s time to go bowling. Last I checked, there are plenty of “gutter tactic” balls to go clean up after Bobby.

Letters to the Editor
It’s time for honesty andreal actions in politics
To the Editor:Is it election time again already? This is
the time of year where an abundance of campaign promises shall be made and most often shall never be kept. We get to shake hands with illusive politicians we never get to engage throughout the entire year. It’s a period when those who could care less about our issues all of a sudden appear with pearly white trust-me smiles and place multiple signs in our yards that read “please vote for me,” but never appear in our communities at any other time.
I am more concerned about results and not some drummed-up popularity contest or media blitz of commercials from those who have raised the most money. I wish that we could give each viable candidate a public lie detector test and every time a lie is told, their noses grow like some modern day Pinocchio.
It is time for honesty and real actions that speak louder than any scripted words when it comes to our military, employment, affordable housing, medical benefi ts, social security, taxes and our shrinking economy. Now when election day fi nally comes, I am only concerned enough to vote for those who have the guts to walk the walk of the people and for the people who we shall elect to serve.
Now if by then their noses have grown several feet, we can separate the honest from the dishonest candidates. It is time for somebody to role up their sleeves at every level and get their hands dirty fi lling in those giant holes that have been dug from Washington D.C. all the way down to our front yards.
WILLIAM K. JOHNSONSanford
District attorney was toughon Sanford armed robbers
To the Editor:I am not a person who gets involved
in politics, and I’m also a registered Democrat. But I always vote for the most qualifi ed person, be it a Republican or Democrat.
After reading the article on the front page of The Herald on Oct. 15, I felt com-pelled to write a letter in District Attorney Susan Doyle’s defense. It stated that prosecutors have been soft on crime, and too many offenders are getting off or charges are being dropped. I can tell you from my own personal experience being a victim of a violent crime, she is a voice for victims of crime.
Almost two years ago, two masked men with a gun and a knife were waiting for me at my house when I got home from work. They robbed me, and I am still scared to go home at night since this happened. But thanks to Susan Doyle, one of the young men that had a lengthy criminal history is serving 10 years in prison without the chance of parole. The criminal had an excellent attorney, so when we got to court, I was offered a plea deal to get my jewelry back. They said he would probably walk out a free man if I didn’t agree to let him give me my jewelry back and let him go free.
I said “no,” because I wouldn’t want anyone to have to experience what I did with this young man. No one would listen to me but Susan Doyle. When I called her and told her what had happened to me, she did not hesitate to help me. She drove from Smithfi eld to Sanford to go to court with me, and she showed everyone at that courthouse that she was not go-ing to back down. She came out fi ghting for me, so I am here to tell you we need more people like her to help us keep criminals off the streets.
Thanks to her for standing up for me when no one else would. We need to vote for people who don’t only talk the talk, but stand up for the innocent citi-zens of Lee County.

It was one of those moments. My son, a would-be engineer, saw it as a triumph of the very spirit of
engineers: the can-do, we-can-solve-anything guts and genius that could figure out how to keep 33 men alive for two months while forging a plan to hoist them up from half a mile un-derground in a bullet-shaped device linked to a pulley.
I still don’t know how they did it, but that wasn’t what kept me glued to my computer screen. I couldn’t understand a word they were saying, much less the mechanics.
For me, it was more a religious experience than a scientific one.
At a time when we see the value of human life cheapened every day — when thugs would kidnap a woman aid worker who spent her life (and lost it) trying to help others, when suicide bombers target inno-cent people, when every day brings news of horrors and threats too awful to contemplate — the world watched and wept as 33 men were pulled to freedom.
That is the world I want to live in, the world I pray my children will live in.
There was much talk about how the new president of Chile had staked his future on this rescue, how his advisers had told him not to promise too much, not to get caught creat-ing expectations he couldn’t meet. Politics. What else is new?
President Sebastian Pinera did it anyway. To quote my old friend Jesse Jackson, he kept hope alive.
Hope triumphed over politics and budgets and naysayers. Experts from around the world pitched in. Thirty-three lives commanded the best and the brightest. This is what human life is worth.
Thirty-three men thrown together by disaster formed a different kind of social network. No “Lord of the Flies.” No survival of the fittest. No every man for himself.
“No one wants to be first,” some-one said of the discussion of the min-ers about the order of rescue. Last was the position of honor, reserved for the leader.
The men in that mine were not rich or famous; this is a job for those who don’t have better ones. Had they perished, few of us would have stopped to think about it, much less learn their names. We see it every day. If it bleeds, it leads. Terror alert levels. Senseless killings. More at 11.
And then there is a moment when the better angels triumph, when the president of Chile waves the flag of Bolivia as a Bolivian, trapped on his fifth day in the mine, is pulled to freedom while his young wife stands waiting for him at the top.
There are days when I wonder what has become of us. It’s ugly out there, we say to each other. Man’s inhumanity to man. Anniversaries of horror. People made famous for their hate. Kids without hope ending their lives. Sickness and sadness, cruelty and indifference.
Hard hats on their hearts, the Chil-eans sang their national anthem after the last man was rescued. The world let out a collective sigh of relief. The engineering worked.
This is what it means — what it should mean — to be human. In God’s image, at our best. The strength and courage of the 33 are a gift to the world, ours to cherish or discard, ours to hold on to, to remind us that, yes, we are capable of something like this. This is what it means to have a soul.
It was a good week for the world. God bless.
The National Transportation Safety Board has again recommended that airlines require a separate seat for
all children, regardless of age, eliminating the current practice of permitting children under the age of 2 to fl y for free on the lap of a parent. Will mandating child restraint systems make air travel safer? The answer is probably yes but that’s the visible.
Having to purchase an extra airplane ticket, some families will opt to drive to their destination instead. Thus, mandated CRS will force some families to switch to a less safe method of travel and some high-way fatalities will represent the invisible victims of NTSB policy. By the way, if par-ents wanted a greater measure of safety for their infant, it’s available to them right now. They can purchase a seat and seat restraint for their infant.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is charged with ensuring that drugs are safe and effective. Drugs must meet FDA approval before they can be marketed. FDA offi cials can make two kinds of errors. They can approve a drug that has unanticipated, dangerous side effects that might cause illness and death. Or, they can err by either not approving or causing huge delays in the marketing of a safe and effective drug. Statistically, these are known as the Type I and Type II errors.
FDA offi cials have a bias toward erring on the side of over-caution. If FDA offi cials err on the side of under-caution, approv-ing an unsafe drug, they are attacked by the media, patient groups and investigated by Congress. Their victims, sick and dead people, are highly visible. If FDA offi cials err on the side of over caution, keeping a safe and effective drug off the market, who’s to know? The victims are invisible.
If you conclude that FDA offi cials have a bias toward errors that create invisible victims, who don’t know whom to blame for their illness or death, step to the head of the class. Particularly egregious examples are: The FDA’s 10-year delay in approving alprenolol, a beta-blocker, sold for three years in Europe, cost more than 10,000 lives per year. The three-year delay in the ap-proval of misoprostol, a drug for the treat-ment of gastric bleeding that cost between 8,000 and 15,000 lives per year. The lag in the approval of streptokinase for the treat-
ment of occluded coronary arteries cost more than 10,000 lives per year.
FDA erring on the side of over-caution makes the average cost of bringing a drug to the market close to $1 billion. When an FDA offi cial proudly announces the approval of a major new drug, someone should ask him: If this drug is going to start saving lives tomorrow, how many people died yesterday, last week, last month or last year waiting for the drug to be approved? A drug company CEO could give you the an-swer if he weren’t fearful of FDA retaliation.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) represents Congress’ way to force manufacturers to produce more fuel-ef-fi cient cars. Manufacturers meet CAFE standards by producing lighter weight and hence less crash-worthy cars. According to a Brookings Institution study, a 500-lb weight reduction of the average car in-creased annual highway fatalities by 2,200-3,900 and serious injuries by 11,000 and 19,500 per year. A National Highway Trans-portation and Safety Administration study demonstrated that reducing a vehicle’s weight by only 100 pounds increased the fatality rate by as much as 5.63 percent for light cars, 4.70 percent for heavier cars and 3.06 percent for light trucks. These rates translated into additional traffi c fatalities of 13,608 for light cars, 10,884 for heavier cars and 14,705 for light trucks between 1996 and 1999.
Congressmen have full knowledge of these life and death statistics but doing the bidding of environmentalists and other interest groups is more important than American lives. There ought to be a way to make the invisible victims of Congress visible.

Meltdown’s‘inside job’
NEW YORK — If you haven’t been humming tunes from “Les Mis-erables,” you haven’t seen “In-
side Job,” the new documentary about how our economic crisis evolved.
The most forgiving American will want to seize a pitchfork and march on Wall Street. Or Harvard Square. Or in front of the White House. There are so many despicable parties, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Is it time to reconsider the Axis of Evil?
The fi lm, written and directed by Charles Ferguson (and narrated by Matt Damon), will be opening in select cities this week. Although much of the story is familiar, Ferguson manages to weave together decades of bits and pieces into a dramatic narrative that plays like a whodunit. Names have faces, and story-telling combined with graphic illustra-tions helps explain the complex series of events that led to the global meltdown.
Here are a few takeaways:One, trying to assign blame to either
Democrats or Republicans is pointless. Everyone is culpable. From the early 1980s when Ronald Reagan deregulated banks, through the two Bushes, Bill Clinton and now Barack Obama, each administration has endorsed — and each Congress has helped tweak — laws and rules that made systemic abuses and the meltdown not only possible but, looking back, inevitable.
Two, many investment bankers knew the mortgage loans they were packag-ing and selling were junk. They knew because their own analysts told them so. Tens of thousands of loans failed to meet basic underwriting standards, according to recent testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, a bipartisan group created to examine the causes of the meltdown. Not only that, Wall Street insiders were betting against their own customers and institutions.
Throughout the system, from the lending institutions to federal regula-tors to congressional overseers, those charged with protecting consumers averted their eyes.
Three, the cozy relationship between Wall Street and Ivy League academia, wherein economists push policies that benefi t them fi nancially, is eye-open-ing. In some cases, business professors and economists at America’s top schools were shown to have confl icts of interest as they advanced policies for which they had been paid directly or that otherwise would benefi t them.
In other instances, we see that the same people who created policies that ultimately led to these abuses are still — or were until recently — running the show. Notably missing from the fi lm, declining to be interviewed, are Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Hank Paulson, Alan Greenspan and Robert Rubin.
This is not to say that what benefi ts Wall Street necessarily hurts average Americans or that all bankers are cor-rupt, but the system clearly enabled the abuses that have led to current circum-stances. The attitude seemed to be that everyone was doing it.
When the big banks failed, of course, taxpayers were left holding the bag. Even though there was wide consensus that the bailouts were necessary to get credit moving again, there is simply no justifi cation for the bonuses and golden parachutes that went to the very people who drove their institutions — and us — off a cliff. Reward for failure was the best gig in town.
Although most of what the movie highlights is familiar, there’s something jarring about seeing the culprits up close in all their taxpayer-subsidized, suntanned splendor — their multiple es-tates and private jets juxtaposed against shuttered homes and unemployed Americans living in tents. Obscene is the word that comes to mind.
I’m not one to advance class war-fare, and most Americans still want to preserve a market system that leaves open the possibility that they, too, can work hard and achieve wealth. But it’s clear from “Inside Job” that the game has been rigged so that only a few were in positions to get rich at the expense of the middle class, not just here but globally.
The movie isn’t perfect. One won-ders what was left on the editing fl oor. Some of those interviewed, who dodged questions or gave unacceptable answers, also looked stupid. None of these guys is stupid.

No Kidding?
8A / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / The Sanford Herald LocalCANDIDATE Q&A: NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE DISTRICT 51
Q: What’s your moti-vation for seeking
offi ce?
LOVE: To contribute my education, knowledge and experience in making North Carolina the best state in the United States to live, work and educate our young people so they will be prepared for the world economy in which we live.
STONE: North Carolina has been heading in the wrong direction for some time. State spending has consistently outpaced earnings and the legisla-ture is out of touch. As a small businessman and leader in the community I felt obligated to create a more positive environ-ment for job creation and to help Lee and Harnett counties move forward economically. To do this we need to lessen the burden of regulation and lower taxes. That requires making tough choices and I will do that as our state legislator.
Q: What promises can you make to voters if
you’re elected?
LOVE: If I have the hon-or to continue represent-ing the citizens of Lee and Harnett Counties, I can promise to keep fi ghting for the things that matter most here at home; help for our small businesses, protecting our teachers and our classrooms, and cutting wasteful spending from the state budget. As a lifelong resident of this area, I promise to always remember where I’m from. I promise to fi ght for new jobs for our workers, and the very best education for our children.
STONE: Most im-portantly, I will work on balancing the budget without raising taxes. I will work to eliminate the wasteful spending in Raleigh. I will work to end pay to play politics in state government to stop public corruption.
I will also be more open minded about education by lifting the cap on char-ter schools which save tax-
payer money and provide choices for parents. And I will be a strong advocate for Lee and Harnett Coun-ties to ensure that we are competitive as we work to create a better environ-ment for small, medium and large business to start and expand.
Q: In your opinion, what are the fi ve most
critical issues facing North Carolina government this election?
LOVE:❏ Economy❏ Jobs❏ Education❏ Supporting our
military❏ Supporting our
seniors
STONE:❏ Budget/Jobs❏ Public Corruption/
Public Trust❏ Taxation❏ School Reform❏ Illegal Immigration❏ Healthcare/Tort
Reform — Limit medical liability to encourage new doctors
❏ Favorable Business
Climate
Q: What specifi cally should the General
Assembly do to address each of those specifi c is-sues?
LOVE:■ Economy: Working to
maintain a good environ-ment for our businesses is the best way to keep the economy moving forward. Fiscal conservatism is a necessity; we have to work to keep our taxes low and reduce wasteful spend-ing while fi ghting for the investments in education and infrastructure that attract new businesses to our state.
■ Jobs: North Caro-lina has the lowest state and local tax burdens on businesses according to a review by Ernst and Young in 2010, and we have to fi ght to keep it that way. Weare one of the best states in the nation to do business, and providing support to our small businesses like the refundable tax credit we passes this year is how we can continue attracting new jobs.
■ Education: In a tough economy, we have to keep government small and lean while still protecting our priorities. Our chil-dren deserve the very best education and the very best teachers. We have to continue cutting down our administrative costs and keeping our resources in teachers and classrooms.

HAVING A SERIOUS IMPACT!Some teeth never break the surface of the gums to emerge into their proper place
in the dental arch. When this occurs the tooth is said to be “impacted.” The teeth that most commonly become impacted are the wisdom teeth (the third set of molars), which are the last permanent teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 21. The reason that these (and other) teeth become impacted may be that the area into which they are supposed to emerge is simply overcrowded with teeth. It may also be that teeth trying to emerge may become twisted, tilted, or displaced, resulting in impacted teeth. In many cases, orthodontic treatment may help alleviate these causative factors.
Early detection of impacted teeth is crucial to successful treatment. Once a problem is detected, orthodontic braces often can be used to create sufficient space for the impacted tooth to erupt and grow into position. For more information on how you or your child can benefit from orthodontic treatment, please call SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS today at (919) 718-9188 to schedule a free consultation. Our office is located at 1129 Carthage St. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve - a healthy, beautiful one!
P.S. Some experts argue that an uncorrected impacted tooth pushes on the next tooth, which pushes the next tooth, eventually causing a misalignment of the bite.

■ Supporting our mili-tary: The men and women who serve our nation in uniform, who protect our freedoms and sacrifi ce so much day in and day out deserve our full support. This year we fought to protect active duty soldiers from foreclosures, expand healthcare and educa-tional opportunities for veterans, and extend tax relief to disabled veterans. Standing up for the men and women who fi ght for us is not an option, it’s a necessity.
■ Supporting our se-niors: Americans on fi xed incomes have been among those hardest hit in this recession. This legislative session I fought for tax relief to help keep seniors in their homes. Times are hard, and they are harder still for families caring for aging family members. That’s why I’ll keep work-ing to fund the Home and Community Care Block Grant to help allow seniors to remain in their homes.
STONE:■ Budget/Jobs — Enact
TABOR legislation that restricts government from growing faster than the economy and population growth. Focus on more budget transparency for the public. Implement Zero Based Budgeting or at the very least priority bud-geting to create needed cuts in spending. In so doing we allow for more entrepreneurship and in-novation in our economy.
■ Public Corrup-tion/Public Trust — Make the General Assembly more transparent. Allow legislation to make it to the fl oor of the legislature for an up or down vote. Many times the current
leadership would never allow such things. Stop the patronage system of pay to play politics that has cre-ated distrust of our state government and more investigations and indict-ments than at any time in state history.
■ Taxation — Get rid of the corporate income tax. Change the tax policy so North Carolina starts attracting new businesses. Explore the potential of a Fair Tax system that is based on consumption rather than income. Mod-ernize the tax code that was created in the Depres-sion.
■ School Reform — Support the expansion of charter schools. Give parents a choice. Create competition in public schools. Eliminate the amount of money that we are spending at the Department of Public Instruction. Encourage the amount of money being spent be focused on class-rooms and not administra-tion. Work to make public education more account-able.
■ Illegal Immigration — Publicly recognize Eng-lish as the offi cial language of North Carolina. Support Arizona style enforcement. When someone commits a crime, verify citizenship. Support expansion of the 287G program and en-courage more ICE offi cials in the state.
■ Healthcare/Tort Reform — Pass legisla-tion that stops the exodus of doctors from North Carolina and helps recruit new doctors. By capping medical lawsuits (like Texas) we can ensure that doctors will want to come to and practice medicine in our state. Choice creates competition and competi-tion reduces cost. Texas added over 15,000 doctors with such legislation.
■ Favorable Business Climate — Cut corporate income tax, simplify our tax code. Stop the practice of wasteful incentives that have hurt our economy. There are more bears in the Global Transpark than jobs after hundreds of mil-lions of taxpayer dollars. Twelve years of incentives and we still have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
Q: What role do you hope to play in ad-
dressing each of those issues?
LOVE: As a conservative voice in Raleigh, my role in each of these issues is to speak on behalf of the citizens of Lee and Harnett Counties. Our businesses, our workers, our teachers, our children, our veterans, and our seniors are more important than any politi-cians in Raleigh. In tough economic times like these, my role is to be a voice of
reason and restraint. My role is to cut waste in gov-ernment, to keep our taxes low, to grow our economy through new jobs, and to fi ght for our teachers and our students, our veterans and our seniors every step of the way.
STONE: I will be lead-ing the charge on many of these issues. North Carolina has been losing ground in the business arena for too long. I will work tirelessly pushing legislation that improves our business climate and reduces our extremely high unemployment rate. I have communicated with other members of the House and they are equally committed to many of these same principles. We will hit the ground on day one aggressively pursuing these goals.
Q: How would you “sell” Lee County and
our state to prospective resident or business?
LOVE: District 51 (Lee and Harnett Counties) has excellent roads to and from major commercial and manufacturing cen-ters; we have a well trained work force and a Commu-nity college that can meet all training requirements a business or industry might require; we are located near three world class universities and we have
an excellent public school system; we are located within an hour’s drive of the Research Triangle and Ft. Bragg both of which are major employment sourc-es; we are situated within a reasonable distance of the mountains and the beach; and we have local airport facilities second to none for counties of our size.
STONE: We are a mag-nifi cent state, but we must fi rst end the era of cor-ruption and bad policies that are holding us back. Site selection magazine ranks N.C. highly because of what it gives away. I will work to make it desirable so it ranks highly with pro-spective businesses and entrepreneurs.
We have mountains and coasts. We have a strong history of great banking. And our area is within two hours of every major metro area in the state.
Our proximity to the expansion of Fort Bragg is historic and creates oppor-tunities if we will work to allow them. Getting taxes under control, being open minded and seeing that others have great ideas would show our ability to be inclusive rather than not.
Q: What initiatives will you bring to the table
as a member of the N.C. House, if elected?
LOVE: ■ Sound fi scal policy
and reasonable tax rates: Sound fi scal principles promote economic growth, protect citizens from uncertainty, and help the governor and general assembly deal with tough economic times. Extremely high taxes can have a negative effect on economic growth. Adam Smith, the economist said that “taxes should be levied only to support a limited government.”
■ Reform our tax code: North Carolina’s economy has been totally remade in the span of three decades. The State’s tax codes are outdated and should refl ect our present day economy.
■ Reduce political polarization: Political po-larization has reached an unacceptable level making it almost impossible for legislators to work across the aisle for the good of the State.
STONE: ■ TABOR (Taxpayer Bill
of Rights)■ Voter ID■ Create competitive
environment in public education. End cap on charter schools.
■ Offi cial language of North Carolina is English.
■ Ending corporate income taxes
■ Zero based budgeting

10A / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Local
this week, he publicly announced his endorse-ment of Democrat Jimmy Love Sr. in the race for North Carolina House District 51.
The county’s Repub-lican chairman says Carter is baffl ing even his fellow Republican sheriffs statewide with his public endorsements. Carter, meanwhile, says his deci-sions have nothing to do with politics, but rather his desire to do what’s best for public safety in Lee County.
“I understand (Repub-licans) want a majority in the state house,” Carter said in an interview with The Herald Friday. “But that’s not my responsibil-ity to make that happen. My responsibility is to serve the citizens of Lee County and support the people who I think will better serve the voters. That they’re suggesting that’s my responsibility ... that’s just wrong.”
IT BEGAN WHEN ...On Aug. 22, Carter ap-
peared side-by-side with Love — a seven-term representative seeking re-election in November in what many predict
will be a tight race with Republican Mike Stone — in a Herald story about what he called a “pre-scription drug epidemic” and the two’s hope that the General Assembly will consider legislation allowing for more access to prescription drug data-bases.
Carter insisted at the time politics had nothing to do with the pairing. Instead, he touted Love’s experience and ability to push to the legislation during the next ses-sion. Around that time, the rumblings among local Republicans and Democrats that Carter wasn’t going to back the Republican, Stone, grew louder. Carter said even before then that he was approached by state Republican offi cials who “tried to steer me in the right direction,” he said.
Over the summer, Carter took offense to a statement on a blog entry penned by Johnson’s commissioner opponent, Republican Jim Womack, who wrote:
“We have a superb sheriff. His team knows what it takes to enforce our local laws. However, the latest crime statistics refl ect Lee County has the highest violent and overall crime rates in Central North Carolina,
and the problem is only getting worse.”
Carter responded with a letter to Womack asking him to take the statement off his site, adding that out of 41 counties in Cen-tral North Carolina, Lee County ranked 37th in violent crimes reported.
“Every law enforce-ment offi cer in this county works hard,” Carter told The Herald. “His statement on the crime numbers was just inaccurate. I can’t sup-port somebody who says what he did and makes statements that will affect emergency prepared-ness.”
Last week, Carter appeared in the news-paper ad with Johnson — his photo across from the Democrat’s. The ad stated, “Butch Johnson’s opponent opposes the emergency back-up 911 center proposed by our sheriff ... Butch Johnson supports the sheriff’s proposal.”
Johnson said that even though he and Carter have been foes politi-cally (Johnson was at one time rumored to the Democratic candidate for sheriff this year), they’ve always been friends.
“Tracy and I are on the same mindset,” Johnson said. “And I’m aware that his appearing in my ad
will help me. Anybody appearing with you who has a 90 percent approval rating is only going to help you.”
Carter said Womack made the statement on the back-up 911 center in April, saying then the money wasn’t there.
“The money is there,” Carter said. “If he did his homework, he would see that the 911 service people pay for, that money can only be used for 911 services. It’s a step in the right direction. It’s needed, and it’s needed now.”
Womack has said he isn’t opposed to the cen-ter. He just believes it’s not needed at this time. Two attempts to reach Womack by cell phone on Saturday were unsuc-cessful.
On his campaign web-site, Womack lists “public safety” among his key issues in his campaign, and when it comes to the sheriff’s department, he writes, “(They) know what it takes to enforce local laws. However, Lee County still has work to do to reduce our in-stances of property and violent crime. The county is plagued with a variety of socio-economic chal-lenges that contribute to an elevated crime rate. We desperately need to address these ills before law enforcement has to deal with them.”
He writes that get-ting more help from the district attorney to help prosecute those suspect-ed to be involved in gang activity is important.
If Carter’s appearance in the Johnson ad wasn’t enough, the icing on the
cake came Wednesday night when at a cam-paign fundraising event for Love, the sheriff stood before a room full of mostly Democrats and for the fi rst time, publicly announced his endorse-ment.
It wasn’t something that Carter expected to do that night, he said. Two days later, he said his decision to back Love had nothing to do with his Republican opponent. It’s about, he said, what Love can do for Lee County.
“Jimmy Love support-ed law enforcement,” he said. “He got our judicial district split — which was something I felt was a missing element in Lee County. Not being nega-tive on (District Attorney) Susan Doyle, but our new D.A. will be responsible for a smaller area and will have a closer relationship with local law enforce-ment.”
Carter said a cur-rent lawsuit against his department involving the son of a business associ-ate of Stone had nothing to do with his endorse-ment.
“I have nothing bad to say about Mike Stone,” he reiterated. “Jimmy’s just what’s best for Lee County.”
REPUBLICAN RESPONSERepublicans can’t say
they’re pleased about Carter’s political stances this fall. The word that pops up most is “disap-pointing.”
“I’m disappointed that any law enforcement of-fi cial — whether they’re a sheriff or not — would support somebody who’s been soft in crime as a
legislator,” said Linda Shook, the local GOP’s chairman and current candidate for District 4 county commissioner. “Love has voted on legis-lation that allows rapists and murderers to get out of prison early to save ex-penses. He’s made it easy to put criminals back on the street.”
Shook, who has agreed with Carter in the past on the need to crack down on illegal immigration and ease the process of deporting illegal im-migrants who commit a crime, said she isn’t convinced Love’s voting record suggests he sup-ports the same measures.
“The sheriff has stated several times that the ille-gals are bringing the hard drugs into the county,” Shook said. “Other states have passed legislation that has made it harder for illegals to get public benefi ts which has an effect of not attracting as many illegals. The Demo-crat-controlled General Assembly has been miss-ing in action on this issue which takes a big toll on public tax dollars.”
Shook’s not alone in her criticism.
A conservative-leaning blog consisting of about a dozen anonymous Lee County authors has made Carter the topic of several recent posts. Blog entry titles have included, “Is Tracy Carter preparing to resign?”, “You deserve a ‘no’ vote, sheriff,” and “Sheriff Carter, we hardly knew ye.”
The entries, in short, accuse Carter of being a RINO, or a “Republican

SHERIFF TRACY CARTER
The Sanford Herald / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / 11ALocalIn Name Only.” Some are calling for voters to vote against Carter on Nov. 2 (he’s running unop-posed).
One blogger suggests he’s breaking the law by supporting Democrats.
“There are some people who are deeply hurt because they worked very, very hard in his campaign (in 2006),” Shook said. “And there are a lot of Republican sheriffs across the state who are scratching their heads, also. They know we need to do more in the General Assembly for public safety. So these aren’t just Lee County Republicans who are baffled.”
NO APOLOGIESCarter said he’s aware
of the rift his endorse-ments have caused, but he says division in the Lee County Republican Party began long before he sided with a Demo-cratic candidate.
“I disagree with the style of the current lead-ership,” he said. “Unless you fit the definition of what they say a Repub-lican is, you’re not a Republican. I’ve been labeled as a RINO and have been called other things. We’ll fail as a
party with that kind of leadership.”
Carter said he has no plans on leaving the Republican party, and when asked if in four years he would run as a Democrat, he said “no” with no hesitation.
“I have no apologies for what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m putting the people of this county before party politics. I’m doing what I feel is best for local law enforce-ment.”
Carter said when he ran for sheriff, he reached out to Repub-licans and Democrats alike, adding that he would not have been elected were it not for partisan support.
“There were Republi-cans who didn’t support me the first time I ran, and I’m not upset about that,” he said. “There will always be people in your party who don’t support you. You can’t let that influence your decisions.”
Carter pointed out that he still supports Republican U.S. Senate candidate Richard Burr, he supported guber-natorial candidate Pat McCrory in his losing bid against Democrat Bev Perdue, and he was one of a number of Republican sheriffs who
appeared in campaign ads for Republican sen-ate candidate Elizabeth Dole in 2008.
And for all the “disap-pointment” on the Re-publican side this year, Shook said there is no truth to rumors or sug-gestions that Carter will soon be booted from the party or that Republi-cans are already looking for a primary opponent in 2014.
“We don’t do things out of spite,” Shook said. “We want him to do his job and do it well. (Find-ing his next opponent) is not something that I as chairman of the party or our executive committee has discussed.”
Besides, she said, vot-ers are more concerned on the economy in this election cycle, and she’s confident that won’t bode well for Love and Johnson in November.
“The majority of voters are not going to be voting on a candi-date who is weak on the issues just because he appears to be riding the coat tails of the sheriff,” she said.
And Carter said he’s not worried about the future ramifications as a result of his endorse-ments this year
“I’m not worried about being booted,” he said.
“I’m doing the best I can, and I’m doing what I feel is right. Whatever happens, happens. If they want to try ... then have at it.”

also located at Wicker.Visitors commented
on the beauty of the restored Wicker build-ing, as well as how it and the classroom pods provide a spacious and well-equipped learning environment.
It is a far cry from the cramped and aged quarters of the former Jonesboro School where the college held its Basic Education and many of its Continuing Educa-tion classes until the move to Wicker over the past few months.
“I like it,” said phle-botomy technician stu-dent Apollonia McLean, who was helping to do blood sugar checks at the open house. “It’s a new learning environ-ment – it feels more school-y, much better than Jonesboro.”
Visitors to the open house could have their blood sugar or vision checked by students in the college’s Continuing Education phlebotomy technician or optomet-ric assistant programs. There were also displays of several other classes offered, including sew-ing, jewelry making and cake decorating. They could also walk through the clinical area for the college’s dental programs and see some Continuing Education and Adult Education classes.
Many who came for the open house were alumni and former teachers at W.B. Wicker School, which was built in the 1920s with
partial funding by the Rosenwald Foundation. The foundation helped fund the construction of many schools in the South for black children and youth in the early part of the 20th century. Wicker is one of the few remaining Rosenwald schools and has been placed on the U.S. Inte-rior Department’s list of historical places.
Holmes is both an alumni and teacher. He graduated from Wicker in 1955, when the school was the pride of San-ford’s black community. He returned in 1968 as an elementary music teacher.
In 1969, public school integration resulted in Wicker’s students being moved to Sanford High School. Wicker was used as a middle school and for other purposes until it was permanently closed in 1990. The handsome brick build-ing deteriorated rapidly once it was abandoned.
In 1997, Sanford at-torney William Wil-son Jr. purchased the property to prevent its being razed and, in 2001, deeded it to Brick Capital Community De-velopment Corporation. BCCDC, with strong community support, oversaw the extensive restoration and renova-tion of the school.
The building has been completely restored. Having the college move its Lee County Adult Education, Continuing Education, and Workforce Devel-opment programs into the facility has brought it back to its original use as an educational institution.
“This is my dream come true,” said Kate Rumely, BCCDC ex-ecutive director since 1997. “I’m thrilled. I hoped this would hap-pen from the very begin-ning, but this is beyond what we anticipated. Good things happen when communities work together.”
The college fi rst rent-ed space at Wicker for its dental hygiene and den-tal assisting programs, which started in 2007. In 2010, the college moved its Lee County Adult Education and Continu-ing Education programs from the Jonesboro Cen-ter, a former Lee County elementary school, to the Wicker Business Campus.
“We are in a facil-ity new that the stu-dents and teachers can be proud of,” said CCCC President Bud Marchant. “The college has also become part of this community and shares the pride they and Brick Capital Com-munity Development Corporation take in it. Wicker has come full-circle. It’s once again a thriving educational institution serving this community.”

QUICKREADTAR HEEls ClEAR EUwEll To plAy AT VIRgInIA
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — North Carolina junior defensive end Linwan Euwell has been cleared to play on Saturday for the Tar Heels in their game at Virginia.
Euwell missed the first five games while the school worked to determine his status amid an NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct in the football program. In addition, the school said junior safety Brian Gupton — who has also been held out of every game — won’t play this sea-son, though the school didn’t specify why.
The school also said that senior cornerback Kendric Burney, who will serve the last of his six-game suspen-sion against Virginia, still is in question for next week’s game at Miami due to what the school called “an unresolved issue” connected to the NCAA probe.
The result of Saturday’s game was not available at presstime. The Tar Heels led the Cavaliers 27-10 at halftime.

GREENVILLE — With each week, Ruffin McNeill sees East Carolina’s spread offense becom-ing a little more efficient and his struggling defense gaining extra confidence.
Just think how the coach feels now, after a thrilling win against North Carolina State.
Dominique Davis scored on a 1-yard keeper while Damon Mag-azu intercepted Russell Wilson’s final pass to help the Pirates beat the Wolfpack 33-27 in overtime Saturday, giving McNeill his first victory against a challenging non-conference schedule.
Davis threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns for the Pirates (4-2), who survived a game in which they blew a big lead and committed mistake after mistake before figuring out a way to win in front of a sellout and record home crowd. East Carolina ran out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead only to see the Wolfpack rally to take a 27-24 lead late in the fourth quarter on a field goal from Josh Czajkowski before stag-ing its own comeback.
When Magazu’s interception ended the game, the East Caro-lina sideline spilled onto the field to celebrate in front of a roaring home crowd in the newly finished end zone section of Dowdy-Fick-
len Stadium. Heck, a jubilant McNeill even danced to the music blaring over the loudspeakers amid the impromptu victory party.
“They have sacrificed and paid the price and have been battled and scarred,” McNeill said of his players. “And today, that was special.”
One thing is clear: East Caro-lina has proven it can win close games. The two-time defending Conference USA champions beat Tulsa in the opener on a last-play touchdown pass, then rallied from 20-point deficit at South-ern Mississippi and scored the

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Rangers relievers got quick redemption, and Texas finally has won a postseason game at home for the first time in its 50-season history.
Elvis Andrus got the Rangers off to a running start, David Murphy led a parade of extra-base hits and the bullpen that faltered the night before held strong this time as Texas got even in the AL championship series with a 7-2 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 2 on Saturday.
The Rangers again built an early 5-0 lead — and stayed ahead this time, unlike the series opener when the Yankees had their biggest postseason come-back in the seventh inning or later. Texas snapped a 10-game postseason losing streak against New York.
The best-of-seven series now switches to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Monday night, when Texas will have hired ace left-hander Cliff Lee on the mound. Lee has won his last four starts in New York, including a complete game for Philadelphia in last year’s World Series.
Colby Lewis limited New York to two runs over 5 2-3 innings and the bullpen re-bounded the eighth-inning debacle in Game 1 that al-lowed the defending World Series champion Yankees to escape with a 6-5 victory even though CC Sabathia lasted only four innings.
New York’s postseason
winning streak over the Rangers included knocking them out of the playoffs in their only three previous postseason appearances (1996, 1998 and 1999).
These Rangers don’t plan to be easily dismissed by the Bronx Bombers, who have won 27 World Series titles and 40 pennants.
Texas had lost its first seven home playoffs games, the most by any team before finally get-ting a victory in front of its own fans, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Five of those losses had been to New York, plus two to Tampa Bay last weekend in the first round when the Rangers had to go back to Florida for a deciding Game 5 with Lee pitching to win a postseason series for the first time ever.

BUIES CREEK — Drew Blackmon had 122 yards receiving and Drake defeated Campbell 14-12 on Saturday.
Blackmon, who had eight catches, saved his longest for a 42-yard touchdown from Mike Piatowski with 4:40 remaining for a 14-6 lead. Pia-towski finished with 208 yards and a touchdown on 20 of 36 passing. He also had 38 yards on four carries as the Bulldogs (4-3, 3-1 Pioneer Football League) improved to 3-0 against the Camels.
“This is a different football team this year than in the past,” Campbell head coach Dale Steele said after the game. “I told our players that we’re a good football team and I can’t understand the breaks that have been happening to us. We are a good football team and if we keep knocking on the door we’re going to break through and get one of these close victories.”
Drake fell behind 3-0 11 seconds into the sec-ond quarter after Adam Willet’s 20-yard field goal, but controlled the ball for 11:04 compared to 3:56 throughout the rest of the period to take the lead.
The Camels (2-4, 1-2 Pioneer Football League) were facing an eight-point deficit, 14-6, when the team took over on its own 40-yard line with just 4:40 remaining in the game.
Polk promptly completed passes to redshirt junior C.J. Oates and junior Paul Constantine to gain a total of 17 yards and get the poten-tial game-tying drive going. Oates then ran for another eight and redshirt junior Carl Smith sprinted for an 11-yard gain to move the ball to

PITTSBORO — A struggling kicker made the game-winner in the second overtime to put Northwood alone atop the Carolina-9 Confer-ence on Friday.
After Kevin Williams scored a 10-yard touch-down on his 39th carry of the night to tie the score at 34, Tim Gill made his only PAT attempt of the game to give Northwood a 35-34 homecoming victory over previously unbeaten Carrboro. Gill had just missed a 27-yard fi eld goal attempt on the fi rst possession of the fi rst overtime period.
“That was the reason [Northwood went for the kick],” Chargers coach Bill Hall said. “He hit that fi eld goal well it was just wide. He’s been strug-gling, obviously. We were going for two all night.”
Carrboro, playing without standout receiver Nassar Omar for the sec-ond straight week, took a two-score lead when quarterback Derek Bryant hit Juan Chavarriaga for a 69-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
But Williams, who fi nished with 317 rush-ing yards, cut the defi cit to 22-16 with the fi rst of his four touchdowns. Northwood then tied the score in the third quarter
when the junior cut off right tackle and down the home sideline for an 84-yard touchdown.
“Kevin is a tough runner and he’s just now hitting his stride,” Hall said. “He had a concus-sion in our jamboree and missed the fi rst game. He’s a workhorse back and in our style of offense we need that.”
Carrboro took its fi nal lead of regulation when Bryant, who accounted for 278 yards of offense, found running back Tor-rell Farrar for a 20-yard touchdown on a screen pass. Williams answered with a 19-yard run with 3:53 to play and the de-fenses sent the game into overtime.
After Gill’s missed fi eld goal, Northwood’s de-fense sent Carrboro back-wards to force a second overtime. Bryant again found Farrar on a screen to put the Jaguars on top, but an incomplete pass set the stage for Gill to be the homecoming hero.
“That’s a good running team and I felt we had to go for two,” Carrboro coach Jason Tudryn said. “We kept them out the fi rst time but I didn’t know if we could stop them again so we went for it.”
After its fi rst loss of the season, Carrboro will attempt to keep pace in the conference next Fri-
day against Cedar Ridge. Northwood is scheduled to travel to South Gran-ville.
Douglas Byrd 35, Western Harnett 13
LILLINGTON — Doug-las Byrd held a two-touchdown lead at half-time and never looked back in a 35-13 win over Western Harnett.
Byrd improved to 7-2 overall and 2-2 in the Cape Fear Valley 3-A Con-ference after an improb-able 0-2 start in league play. One of the league losses was to Overhills, Western’s neighbor, in a game Byrd was heavily favored.
Byrd quarterback Junior Williams ran for three touchdowns and passed for another.
Caleb Chalmers returned the second half kickoff 76 yards for a touchdown, and the Eagles used a 36-yard interception return by Marcus Pratt to set up a 42-yard drive that got Western within 21-13 on a 10-yard scoring run by William Overton as time expired in the third quarter.
But Byrd answered with a 63-yard drive capped by Pooler’s 3-yard run. Williams scooted 21 yards with 1:27 left to cap the scoring.
Jordan Trapp led the Eagles on the ground with 59 yards on 12 car-ries.
William Overton had 14 yards on eight carries with a touchdown.
Quarterback Randy McNeil was 4-for-15 passing for 29 yards and three interceptions.

Providence Grove defensive back Stedman Rush fi nished with an in-terception and a muffed punt recovery, while de-fensive back Keshon Pur-vis and linebacker Cody Williams both recovered a fumble with Williams’ coming with 11⁄2 minutes left in the game to seal the win.
For the Jets (1-3, 5-4), Derek Jones had 23 carries for 83 yards, while quarterback Dylan Bounds completed 6 of 18 passes for 99 yards. Still, Jordan-Matthews couldn’t fi nd the end zone, it’s only points coming from a 23-yard fi eld goal by Eric Gomez with just over 7 minutes left in the fi rst quarter.

“Where Old Fashion Service Is Still In Style”
The Sanford Herald / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / 3B
By MIKE CRANSTONAP Sports Writer
CONCORD — There’s a theory that Jimmie John-son is to blame for what ails NASCAR.
Falling television rat-ings are because the four-time defending Sprint Cup champion kills the suspense by winning all the time. Attendance at races is down because Johnson is boring and lacks the strong person-ality of colorful drivers from the past.
Johnson doesn’t buy it.“Well, I know that I’m
not the reason for those things and I sure as hell know I’m not vanilla,” Johnson said.
He entered Saturday night’s race at Charlotte in a familiar position: leading in the Chase for the Sprint Cup champi-onship standings. He’s won the title every year since 2006.
“We need more drama in our sport,” Charlotte Motor Speedway owner Bruton Smith said Sat-urday. “I was joking it would be great if Jimmie came out of the car and slapped somebody. That would be drama.”
It’s not Johnson’s style, but he insists he’s a lot different from the young driver who started in NASCAR’s lower series.
“I went from being like a C-level driver in Nationwide and through all the other things in my career, to drive for Hendrick Motorsports to having success early,”
Johnson said. “At the end of the day I want to be a professional and do my job. And some people formed opinions then and it’s unfortunate that if it still lingers around because I think I’ve done plenty to show that I’m far from vanilla.”
But you’ll rarely see Johnson mix it up on the track, call out driv-ers or NASCAR offi cials, or make provocative comments. And his dominance comes as NASCAR is concerned about falling ratings and attendance.
“We don’t know why. And it’s not just our sport, it’s all sports and it’s all television,” Johnson said. “It’s not me and I know that. So I just kind of chuckle about it and if people want to spend
time talking about it they can.”
TRIPLE SWEEP? Kurt Busch was seeking to become the fi rst driver to win all three Sprint Cup races at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the same season.
Busch, who entered Saturday night’s race sixth in the Chase stand-ings, won the All-Star race and Coca-Cola 600 in May.
It marked the seventh time since the All-Star event’s 1985 debut that the race’s winner entered the fall stop at Charlotte with a chance to pull off the sweep. The six previous drivers — Dar-rell Waltrip (1985), Davey Allison (‘91), Dale Earn-hardt (‘93), Jeff Gordon (‘97), Jimmie Johnson (2003) and Kasey Kahne (‘08) failed to accomplish the feat, but all fi nished in the top fi ve in the fall race.

Texas upsets No. 5 NebraskaBy ERIC OLSONAP Sports Writer
LINCOLN, Neb. — Texas left no doubt this time. The Longhorns beat Nebraska fair and square.
Garrett Gilbert ran for two touchdowns and Texas’ defense shut down Taylor Martinez to lead the Longhorns to a 20-13 upset of No. 5 Nebraska on Saturday, a crushing fi rst defeat for a Cornhusker team that was out to avenge last year’s loss in the Big 12 championship game.
Texas (4-2, 2-1 Big 12 came in as a 9½-point underdog but surprised Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) by turning Gilbert loose in the run game for the fi rst time this season. The quarterback ran for a 71 yards on 11 carries, scor-ing from 3 yards and 1 yard, and Cody Johnson had 58 of his 73 yards in the second half.
The Longhorns also stymied a Nebraska offense that had been averaging 494 yards a game, holding the Husk-ers to just 202 yards. Still, the Huskers were within a touchdown late in the game thanks to Eric
Hagg’s school-record 95-yard punt return.
Martinez, who came in averaging 147 yards a game and almost 11 yards a carry, was held to a season-low 21 yards on 13 carries before being pulled for Zac Lee in the third quarter.
Texas certainly wasn’t prolifi c offensively, gain-ing 271 yards. But with the Longhorn defense holding the Huskers’ ground game in a check, Nebraska receivers then dropped what would have been three touch-down passes.
The Huskers and their fans had been pointing to this game
for 10 months, since the controversial fi nish to last year’s conference title game ended with one second put back on the clock, enough time for the Longhorns to kick the winning fi eld goal in a 13-12 win.
The stakes became even higher after Ne-braska announced over the summer that it was moving to the Big Ten next year.
Suddenly, this became the Huskers’ last chance to beat a Texas program that had dominated them since the inception of the Big 12.
Barring a rematch in the conference cham-
pionship game, Texas will have won nine of 10 meetings against the Huskers since 1996, with Nebraska’s only win coming in the 1999 title game.
The Memorial Sta-dium crowd came to life after Hagg returned Justin Tucker’s pooch punt 95 yards to pull the Huskers to 20-13 with 3:02 left. Jared Crick bumped Blake Gideon out of the way after Hagg fielded the punt, and LaVonte David’s block on Alex Oka-for removed the final obstacle to Nebraska’s first touchdown in eight quarters against the Longhorns.
Texas was able to run out the clock, however, with Gilbert taking a knee twice inside the Nebraska 10.
Martinez came into the game drawing atten-tion as a Heisman can-didate but was thrown for losses or no gain on four of his fi rst 11 runs and was ineffective on the zone-read option. He was pulled in the third quarter in favor of Lee, who quarterbacked the Huskers in the Big 12 title game.

Harris, defense leadMiami past Duke
DURHAM (AP) — Mi-canor Regis likes to teach Miami’s defensive backs the proper way to break in front of passes and intercept them. Just one problem: Who would ever take that type of advice from a 305-pound defen-sive tackle?
Maybe the Hurricanes should.
Regis returned an interception 22 yards for a touchdown, one of the season-high seven turnovers Miami forced during its 28-13 victory over Duke on Saturday.
“Big Regis, he’s a funny character,” Vaughn Tele-maque said. “He’s always messing with us as de-fensive backs and going to catch balls and trying to teach us techniques of how to catch the ball. He came up real big, and he came up with the touch-down.”
Jacory Harris threw for one touchdown and ran for another. He fi nished 17 of 34 for 224 yards in his fi rst interception-free game since the opener for the Hurricanes (4-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Confer-ence), who bounced back from last week’s lopsided loss to rival Florida State by rolling up 448 total yards and shutting down one of the league’s top passing offenses.
Telemaque had two of Miami’s fi ve intercep-tions, all thrown by Sean Renfree, and the Blue Devils fumbled twice.
“It’s all self-infl icted wounds,” Renfree said. “It’s nothing they were doing.”
But no question, it was Regis who came up with the play of the day to end Duke’s fi rst possession of the second half. The big defensive tackle dropped into coverage, stepped in front of Renfree’s pass and rumbled into the end zone to stretch Miami’s lead to 21-3.
“I’ve got to score,” Regis recalled himself thinking during his run. “It was so close that I could touch it.”
Damien Berry rushed for 111 yards, and his 1-yard score in the third put the Hurricanes up 28-10. Harris threw a 14-yard touchdown to Leonard Hankerson on the fi rst play of the second quar-ter, dumping the ball off in the fl at that allowed
the 6-foot-3 wideout do the rest himself, fl ipping over the goal line to make it 7-3. Those two also hooked up just before halftime on a 33-yard gainer one play before Harris scrambled in untouched from 13 yards out, pushing the lead to 14-3.
Virginia Tech 52, Wake Forest 21
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and also rushed for a touch-down to lead Virginia Tech past Wake Forest 52-21 on Saturday.
The Hokies (5-2, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Confer-ence), who won their fi fth straight after opening the season with two losses, scored touchdowns on seven of their eight fi rst-half possessions against Wake Forest (2-5, 1-3). Their 49 fi rst-half points tied for the second most (Rutgers, 1999) scored in a fi rst half by a Virginia Tech team under Frank Beamer.
Taylor hit back-up quarterback Logan Thomas — who was split out as a receiver — for a 3-yard score on the Hokies’ opening pos-session. He later threw touchdown passes of 25 yards to Danny Coale and 11 yards to Jarrett Boykin, and he also scored on a 1-yard sneak.
Darren Evans scored a career-high three touch-downs, all on short runs, for the Hokies.
Clemson 31, Maryland 7
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson’s Andre El-lington found the perfect time to play like former Tigers star C.J. Spiller.
And Spiller enjoyed watching every minute of it Saturday.
Ellington had an 87-yard kickoff return touchdown on the day Spiller had his No. 28 re-tired as Clemson broke a three-game losing streak and avoided its typical Maryland meltdown in a 31-7 victory.
“It was very special, doing it in front of a guy like that,” Ellington said. “Saw he had a big smile on his face. He was ex-cited and we were, too.”
Ellington gave every-one something to cheer about with his game-changing return. He broke through the pack then outran two Mary-land defenders to the end zone. It was Clemson’s fi rst such score since Spiller — he set an NCAA record with seven kickoff TDs from 2006-09 — did it against South Carolina last November.

NFL StandingsGAME OF THE WEEK
Cowboys, Vikings desperate for winBy JON KRAWCZYNSKIAP Sports Writer
MINNEAPOLIS — When the Dallas Cow-boys came to Minnesota in the NFC playoffs last January, both teams’ sea-sons hung in the balance.
It may only be Week 5 of the 2010 season, but the same could be said for the rematch Sunday.
When the schedule was released this sum-mer, Cowboys at Vikings was immediately identi-fi ed as a key early-season matchup that most fi g-ured would feature two star-powered teams play-ing for NFC supremacy. A month into the season, both clubs are 1-3 and treating this showdown as a must win.
“Both of us, it’s no secret where our records are at right now. Nei-ther one of us are happy about it,” Vikings coach Brad Childress said. “In my experience, typically in these kind of games, the most desperate team wins, the most desper-ate team that’s clawing for a victory. Expect it to be contested tooth and nail.”
Both teams are look-ing pretty desperate right about now.
The Cowboys entered the season with plenty of hype, as usual. It was only exacerbated by the fact that their new foot-ball shrine will host the Super Bowl in February.
Tony Romo to Miles Austin has become a big-play combination, but Romo has also thrown fi ve interceptions and the Cowboys have all but abandoned the running
game.Dallas has already
lost twice at home, to Chicago and Tennessee. Even in the wide-open NFC, there is a sense that neither team can afford to fall too much further behind.
“The window is always going to be open, and the mentality of playing well and doing the right things,” Dallas linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. “But at the end of the day, you can’t keep los-ing. If you keep losing, the window is going to be very narrow.
“There are a lot of good teams in this league. We’ve got to start now. The time is now.”
The Vikings have plenty of issues them-selves.
Brett Favre is start-ing to show his age, with tendinitis fl aring up in his right elbow and the 41-year-old quarterback saying this week he would consider sitting out a game or two if the condition worsens. He is
also in the middle of an NFL investigation into allegations that he sent lewd photos to a game-day hostess while both worked for the New York Jets in 2008.
Randy Moss has been in town for less than two weeks and is still working to get synchronized with a new offense and a new quarterback.
“I don’t want to be a cancer to this offense, knowing I don’t know what I’m doing, because I could get somebody really, really, really killed or really hurt out there, not knowing what to do,” Moss said. “So I study every night. I take my playbook home. I just want to make sure I’m out there for the guys, because I know they’re out there for me.”
The Vikings also lost starting cornerback Ced-ric Griffi n (knee) for the season on Monday night and signed veteran free agent Frank Walker on Wednesday, rushing him to get ready to face the
Cowboys’ second-ranked passing offense.
“Who would have thought both teams would be 1-3?” Favre said.
The Vikings are in the middle of a tough stretch that could defi ne their season. After Dallas on Sunday, they head to Green Bay and New Eng-land. With the Bears off to a fast start at 4-1 in the division, the margin for error is getting slimmer by the week.
“Cowboys are a really good team,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. “But a team with a whole lot of talent means noth-ing if it’s not put together. And that’s what’s going on here (in Minnesota).”
The Vikings rolled over Dallas 34-3 in the playoffs last season, the Cowboys’ second-worst postseason defeat. The victory put the Vikings into the NFC title game, where they lost in over-time at New Orleans.
Favre and the Vikings have yet to recreate that magic this season, but the veteran-laden locker room doesn’t have to look far back for inspiration. The team started 1-3 in 2008 before winning nine of its fi nal 12 games to win the NFC North.
“It’s a sense of ur-gency, but at the same time, it can’t be a sense of panic,” Shiancoe said. “With panic comes disarray and confusion. You want to be calm, you want to be collected and just handle your busi-ness and see where the problems are and solve the problems.”

go-ahead touchdown with 4½ minutes left in last week’s 44-43 win.
This time, Michael Barbour kicked a fi eld goal with 1:04 left to send the game into overtime, where Davis put the Pirates ahead for good by bouncing off a pile of tacklers on a sneak and falling across the goal line. The Wolfpack (5-2) couldn’t answer, with Wil-son forcing a pass over the middle to Jarvis Williams that Magazu grabbed at the goal line.
Magazu, a true fresh-man and the son of Caro-lina Panthers offensive line coach Dave Magazu, credited a teammate for jamming Williams at the line and forcing him to alter his route.
“I kind of broke on it with instinct and watched the quarterback all at the same time,” he said. “The reroute really made the play. I was just doing what I was sup-posed to do.”
Wilson offered few details when asked about what he saw on the fi nal play.
“Just trying to get a touchdown, and the kid made a nice play on it,” Wilson said. “That’s basi-cally it.”
It was quite a fi nish for the Pirates consider-ing the game appeared to be slipping away only moments earlier. East Carolina committed countless mistakes, from 10 penalties to a pair of costly fumbles that both set up a touchdown for the Wolfpack and ended another drive just as the Pirates were crossing the goal line. There was even Barbour’s missed extra-point attempt on Davis’ keeper, meaning an N.C. State touchdown in over-time could win the game.
And yet, the Pirates fi gured out a way to beat a team that had won seven of 10 matchups with the state’s four other Bowl Subdivision opponents under coach Tom O’Brien — including two meetings with the Pirates.
“I told the team last night in the hotel: we’re going to face adversity,” Davis said. “It might be fumbles, it might be picks, it might be missed tackles. We’ve just got to stick together through the good and bad, and that’s what happened.”
Lance Lewis and Justin Jones had touchdown catches for the Pirates, while Jon Williams had a 5-yard TD run to cap East Carolina’s fi rst possession. The Pirates fi nished with 496 total yards, while their
struggling defense held up against Wilson and the Wolfpack’s strong passing game.
Wilson threw for 322 yards and one touch-down to go with a rushing score, but he threw three interceptions and was charged with a fumble on
a botched handoff late in the fi rst half.
“They played their hearts out and we didn’t execute,” Wolfpack tackle Jake Vermiglio said. “We’ll have to look our-selves in the mirror and figure out something we can do better as a team.”

Tar Heels trying to put last season behind themBY BRIANA GORMANDurham Herald-Sun
CHAPEL HILL — For one of the fi nal dances of “Late Night with Roy” on Friday at the Smith Center, the entire North Carolina men’s basketball gathered on the court to show off their moves to the song “Celebration.”
And celebrate UNC did, while also put-ting the memo-ries of the 2009-10 season behind them.
The Tar Heels kicked off 2010-11 with a skit to a Miley Cyrus song, a dance in Snuggies and a spoof the TV show “Jersey Shore” and then ended the
evening with a 20-minute scrimmage in front of a crowd of 15,000.
It was the fi rst look at the highly touted fresh-men class of Harrison Barnes, Reggie Bullock and Kendall Marshall, as well as the debut of Alabama transfer Justin Knox.
The scrimmage, which ended in a 31-31 tie, was sloppy at times. Yet Barnes, the nation’s No. 1 recruit a year ago, was impressive in his fi rst minutes in a baby blue uniform, as he led the White team with 13 points and fi nished 6-of-10 from the fl oor.
But Barnes also had his freshman moment.
After a 3-pointer by Bullock tied the game with 16 seconds to play, Barnes found the ball in his hands on the other end with an opportunity to give the White team the win.
Barnes tried to dribble through a couple of de-fenders but turned the ball over in the closing seconds to end the scrimmage.
Still, sophomore John Henson said Barnes’ abil-ity to score was typical of the freshman.
“It’s a little challenging [covering Barnes], but I am kind of used to guard-ing him so I kind of know his moves,” said Henson, who spent some time guarding Barnes in the post. “But I feel sorry for the other opponents that we play.”
Bullock had fi ve points on 2-of-3 shooting, while Marshall missed both his shots and picked up two offensive fouls.
Sophomore Dexter Strickland, who was on the Blue team, led all scorers with 16 points and made both his shot from beyond the arc.
Knox, who is the third tallest player on the team at 6-9, had six points and showed a little bit of range when he hit a pair of jumpers. Junior Tyler Zeller, UNC’s tallest player at 7-0, spent most of the night matched up against Knox and said the transfer had been playing just as well in pickup.
“He’s a very good player,” said Zeller, who
fi nished with six points. “He’s well rounded, and he does a lot of different things.
Henson and Zeller said they were both disap-pointed the game ended in a tie, but understood why Coach Roy Williams didn’t want to play overtime.
Both, however, gave their performances in the skits a thumbs up. The sophomores all danced
in UNC Snuggies, while the freshmen got their fi rst taste of the festivities to “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus.
But it was the juniors who stole the show when they came out wearing black tank tops, fake gold chains and spiked wigs to parody the reality show “Jersey Shore.”
“That was interesting,” Zeller said.

the Drake 35. Another completed
pass to Smith for seven yards and a Mike Stryffeler reception brought the ball to the Drake 14. A penalty momentarily stalled the drive before Polk com-pleted his fi fth pass of the drive, this one to redshirt junior Alex Royal, to put Campbell on the Drake 10 with less than a minute remaining in the game. Polk then took it upon himself and ran it in from 10-yard out to put Camp-bell within two with just 17 second remaining in the game.
Needing a two-point conversion to tie the game, Polk faked a run and then tried a jump pass to Stryffeler in the back of the end zone. The ball was overthrown slightly over Stryffeler’s hands and allowed Drake to escape with the two-point victory.
“It was something that we practiced and had in
our arsenal for a while, and we just needed to ex-ecute it and we just didn’t,” Steele said of the conver-sion play. “We’re going to go back to the drawing board and work on execut-ing our plays better.”
Polk completed a ca-reer-high 18 passes in the loss. The redshirt senior combined to gain 173 yards in total offense (125 pass and 48 rushing).
Stryffeler, a Lee County grad, hauled in a career-high six catches for 33 yards.
Campbell will now travel to Dayton, Ohio to take on the Flyers in a Pioneer Football League at 1 p.m. next Saturday.
“I hope everybody will understand that this is a good football team and I want to beg all the Campbell fans to come out and support these kids,” Steele said. “They play their hearts out, work so hard, and are proud to be a part of Campbell football. They deserve for this place to be fi lled on Homecoming and I want all our fans to be the 12th man for us.”

Goodell: Favre, league offi cial to meet next weekSOUTH BEND, Ind.
(AP) — NFL Commis-sioner Roger Goodell says a league offi cial will meet with Brett Favre next week as part of an inves-tigation into allegations the quarterback sent racy text messages and lewd photos to a Jets game hostess in 2008 when he
played for New York.Goodell made his
comments Saturday during a sideline inter-view with NBC as he attended the Western Michigan-Notre Dame game. The commissioner said someone “from our staff” would meet with the Vikings quarterback
and three-time league MVP.
The NFL Network later said the meeting would be Tuesday in Minnesota with a member of the league’s security team. An NFL spokesman declined further comment.
Goodell said Tuesday he had no plans to meet
with Favre himself, but added that it’s something that he would do if it was warranted.
Favre has been listed as questionable by Min-nesota for Sunday’s game against Dallas with ten-dinitis in his right elbow. He has started a record 289 straight games.

so fans paid more to watch the Panthers (0-5) fail to reach double digits in all three home games so far this season — contests in which they were outscored 63-20. Carolina enters its bye weekend off to its worst start in 12 years and with a load of unanswered questions.
“Rebuilding the team is something I’m confi dent is paramount in his mind,” said Max Muhleman, a Charlotte-based sports consultant who helped Richardson’s efforts to get the expansion franchise in the early 1990s. “How he’s doing it, probably only he and a very small need-to-know group of people in the franchise know.”
It was just two years ago Carolina went 12-4 and won the NFC South. Now the Panthers are averaging 10.4 points a game with fi ve touchdowns and 16 turnovers.
“I don’t think you envi-sion something like this,” said quarterback Matt Moore, benched after Week 2. “It’s something that snuck up on us quickly.”
The Panthers let high-priced defensive end Julius Peppers and other veter-ans go in the offseason while making no major free-agent signings, and some wondered if Carolina was guarding against the chance of a work stoppage next season — Richardson is co-chairman of the NFL’s management council ex-ecutive committee. He told the in-house Roar maga-zine his moves had nothing to do with the league’s labor situation.
“We were at a point with our football team that we had to make tough
football decisions which were separate from the CBA (collective bargaining agreement),” Richardson said in April. “We have a number of younger players who showed promise at the end of last season and need to get on the fi eld.”
With the way things have turned out, Richard-son’s motives are being questioned again.
“It seems likely it’s a fac-tor in his process for sure,” Muhleman said of the CBA talks. “He’s probably as preoccupied with that as anybody, if not everybody, in the league.”
Yahoo! Sports quoted an unidentifi ed person at the March league meet-ings who said Richardson made an impassioned speech with colorful language, telling owners “we’re going to take back our league” after signing what he thinks was a bad labor deal in 2006.
Preparing for a possible lockout next year and a potential new world order of player contracts could explain why more than half the roster is made up of rookies or players in the last year of their deals and coached by a man who ap-pears all but gone but after this season.
Just how young are the Panthers? In last week’s 23-6 stinker against Chicago, they became the fi rst NFL team since Cleveland in 1999 to start a rookie at quarterback (Jimmy Clausen) and both receiver positions (David Gettis and Bran-don LaFell). The offense produced 147 yards, eight fi rst downs and plenty of boos.
The lack of a legiti-mate No. 2 receiver allows teams to load defenders at the line of scrimmage to neutralize Carolina’s once-successful running game.
When star Steve Smith (ankle) sat out against the Bears, the Panthers’ receiving corps consisted of three rookies and David Clowney, claimed off waiv-ers fi ve days earlier.
Why didn’t the Panthers sign a veteran receiver after letting Muhsin Muham-mad go in the offseason?
“Those all aren’t my decisions,” Fox said. “We coach who we’ve got.”
A former teammate of Johnny Unitas’ in Balti-more, Richardson returned just over six months follow-ing his February 2009 heart transplant and fi red sons Mark and Jon from key management roles without explanation.
He also played hardball with Fox, denying him a contract extension fol-lowing Carolina’s playoff fl ameout in the 2008 sea-son and last year’s disap-pointing 8-8 record. Now Fox has little to work with, and likely won’t be around if and when things improve and Carolina starts spend-ing again.
Still, there could be some hope for the fran-chise — a few steps down the road.
By jettisoning several veterans in a year without a salary cap, the Panthers got rid of a large amount of “dead money” from pro-rated bonuses of released players. That would free up space to go on a shopping spree next year if the cap returns.
General manager Marty Hurney’s contract expired earlier this year, but it’s be-lieved he’s safe and could be making those decisions next year. It’s everything else that’s uncertain, with no message coming from the top.
“The fans know,” Muhleman said, “that Jerry is a guy who acts and doesn’t talk much.”

Purdue’s Hummel out for season with ACL tear
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Robbie Hummel is injured again.
Purdue announced that the versatile forward will miss the upcoming season after tearing the anterior cruciate liga-ment in his right knee in practice on Saturday.
It’s the same knee he injured Feb. 24 against Minnesota, knocking him out for the remain-der of last season. He had surgery in March and expected to be ready for his senior season.
It’s a major a blow for a team many experts predicted to be a Final Four contender.
“This is obviously dis-appointing for Robbie, as well as our team, since he worked so hard to return from the tear he suffered in February,” coach Matt Painter said. “As he begins his rehab and recovery, we’ll persevere together and provide Robbie with all the support possible. I have no doubt he’ll con-tinue to play a pivotal role this season as a leader of our team.”
Hummel was second on the team last season with 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds a game. The Boilermakers were ranked No. 3 in the na-tion when he was hurt, then stumbled at fi rst without him, before recovering to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Hummel also missed signifi cant time his
sophomore year with a back injury.
“Rob does something for us offensively and defensively that balances our team,” Painter said in February 2009, while Hummel was recovering from his injury. “He’s a facilitator. He moves the basketball, he makes the extra pass, he gets the ball inside.
“Some of the basic things that don’t show up in a box score is what we miss.”
Purdue still has tal-ented seniors E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson, who decided to return after considering
entering the NBA draft.Moore, a 6-foot-4
guard, was a fi rst-team All-Big Ten pick last season. He led the team with 16.4 points per game as the Boilermak-ers went 29-6 and shared the Big Ten regular-sea-son title. He also became the third player since 1971 to lead Purdue in scoring and assists, and the fi rst player since Troy Lewis in the late 1980s to lead the team in scor-ing three consecutive seasons.
Johnson, a 6-10 center,averaged 15.5 points and a team-high 7.1 reboundsthis past season.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 25-year-old woman who is involved in a seri-ous relationship with a wonder-ful man. We’ve been together for about three months and we’re very much in love.
My problem: I think I’m ob-sessed with him. I am happy only when we spend time together. When we’re not, I feel sad and alone. I spend my time following his activities on social networking sites and constantly checking my cell phone, hoping he sends me a message.
This is my fi rst serious rela-tionship. I know he loves me as much as I love him because he has mentioned marriage and having kids together someday. Is what I am experiencing normal?
— LOVESTRUCK IN NEW YORK
DEAR LOVESTRUCK: It’s not unusual for a fi rst relationship, but you’re right to be concerned. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing. We cannot depend on some-one else to make us happy or make us whole. When a woman spends all her time tracking what her boy-friend is doing when he’s not with her and waiting for the phone to ring, it makes her a less-interesting person to be around than she could be. And that kind of dependency can drive a man away.
It is important that you create a balance between what’s going on in the relationship and continuing to develop yourself as an individual.
Your boyfriend seems to have no problem doing this.

DEAR ABBY: I have a hard time empathizing with people who are sick. My mother suffered from all sorts of medical issues and it af-fected me greatly.
My husband, “Glen,” and I are in our 50s. He’s nearing 60, and as we age I expect our health will decline. Glen already takes medi-cations for several conditions. I, on the other hand, have always enjoyed excellent health.
I fi nd myself becoming impa-tient when Glen is sick. It’s not that I think he’s faking; I just think he needs to “get over it” and not let it affect him. I hide my feel-ings pretty well. I take care of him, make chicken soup, let him rest, pick up his medicine or whatever. But I’m afraid if he were to be-
come seriously ill that I wouldn’t take good care of him. I love him dearly, but I don’t seem to be able to work up sympathy when he (or anyone) is sick.
I’m afraid to tell this to Glen because I’m afraid he’ll keep his conditions from me and think I don’t want to be there for him. How can I increase my “caring gene”? I have had therapy for other issues. What can I do?
— NURSING A FLAW IN TEXAS
DEAR NURSING: Lack of em-pathy is the inability to relate to the feelings of others. Some individuals have such an overabundance of empathy that they become literally paralyzed by the pain of another person. Be glad you aren’t one of those.
When a spouse becomes sick and dependent, it can be a chal-lenge. You can minimize or ig-nore it, or you can choose to be solicitous and helpful. Tolerating the complaints that go along with being ill isn’t always easy, but if you visualize how you would want to be treated if the situation were reversed, it might help you be less impatient.
I’m sorry you weren’t more forthcoming about the issues that sent you into therapy. If you really feel you might be emotionally absent when the chips are down, contact your therapist and start working on it NOW.

Happy Birthday: Put the most emphasis on home and family. You must welcome change and do whatever is required in order to lift stress. A new beginning is apparent. You must make room for the future if you want to experience something new and exciting. It’s your time to flourish. Your numbers are 3, 11, 18, 24, 33, 43, 46
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Playful, positive action will attract some-one you care for. Put your work aside and focus on personal aspirations. There is plenty of room to make changes that can alter your future and your geographical location. Be creative.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pushy behavior won’t help you get further ahead. Getting involved in a worthy cause that puts you in contact with people who can utilize your skills will be a worthwhile endeavor. Taking action without being asked will leave a good impression.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Draw the line if some-one continually wants something for nothing. You may want everyone to like you but you cannot buy approval or respect. An older or younger person will shed an interesting view on a situation you are currently facing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Give and take will be required if you want to get ahead or get along. Spending time taking care of your needs will help to boost your confidence and give you a new lease on life. Love and romance are highlighted.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Family matters must take priority and, in the end, can help you avoid a per-sonal situation with some-one you aren’t quite sure you want to spend time with. Don’t make a move to do something that can jeopardize your reputation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus more on get-ting as much as you can
for as little as possible. Comparison shopping and refraining from impulse purchases will be the key. Profits can be made but only if you are moderate and invest wisely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The sky is the limit if you put your time and effort into something you do well or believe in. Someone from your past will be able to help you find opportunities that are sure to turn into a profit-able endeavor.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A creative endeavor you’ve been working on should be launched wheth-er it’s finished or not. The response you get will be overwhelming. Don’t let personal duties stand in your way when you are so close to achieving your goals.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t instigate changes at home or you may get more than you bargained for. The empha-sis should be on travel, learning and exploring new avenues that can help you earn more money. Reconnecting with some-one from your past is a bad idea.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you need help, say so, instead of falling behind. Take action and make the necessary changes so you have more time for pampering and self-improvement. It’s time to have some fun.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Interact with people who can give you the information you need to get ahead. Taking on a creative investment or finding a way to put your skills to better use will pay off. Don’t be fooled by an old lover who wants to be part of your life again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look at your assets and decide what’s worth keeping and what’s not. Investing in something you believe in or a cre-ative endeavor you can offer as a service will pay off. Don’t overspend ini-tially trying to get it off the ground.

Heaven is a place of perfect peace
Q: My mother died recently, and although I know she’s in heaven I worry about whether or not she’s happy, if she still has health problems, and things like that. I’ve heard of someone who says she can communi-cate with people who’ve died, but my daughter says to stay away from this. What would you say? -- Mrs. L.E.
A: I agree with your daughter and strongly urge you not to contact this per-son. I know it’s tempting, but believe me, nothing good will come of it.
Why do I say this? One reason is because many who claim to have occult powers actually are frauds; they’re only interested in your money. But others are in league with demonic spiritual powers that are opposed to God, which could cause you serious spiritual harm. The Bible commands us to stay away from any type of occult activity, includ-ing sorcery, the casting of spells, and spiritism. The Bible warns, “Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord” (Deuteronomy 18:12).
But the other reason I urge you not to go down this path is because you don’t need to! If your mother knew Christ, she is safely in heaven, and all the struggles and pains she had on earth are over -- forever! In heaven, the Bible says, God “will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4).

RI cops: Robber had checklist of targets in pocket
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Police in Rhode Island trying to stop a string of robberies got a big break when they found a key piece of evidence — an alleged robber’s checklist of targets.
Jimmy Honeycutt and his girlfriend Stepha-nie McDole were arrested Wednesday after Pawtucket police found torn pages from a phone book in Honeycutt’s pocket. Asterisks were marked next to some of the businesses that were robbed this month.
Detectives pulled over the pair because their car matched the description of a vehicle wanted in connection with a robbery at an Attleboro Getty gas station.
Twenty-six-year-old Honeycutt is charged with fi ve counts of fi rst-degree robbery. Twenty-seven-year-old McDole is charged with two counts of fi rst-degree robbery.
It was unclear if either had hired an at-torney.
Wis. woman fi nds stolen dress, solves burglaries
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin police say a 25-year-old woman’s search for her stolen wedding dress helped solve sev-eral other burglaries as well.
After a storage unit owner called Alena Gadke of Chippewa Falls on Oct. 8 to tell her of some break-ins, Gadke went there and noticed her wedding dress was gone.
Police assured her they would fi nd the thieves, but Gadke was impatient. That night she went to Craigslist and found her dress.
She says she traded 40 texts and voice messages with the seller, who kept changing the time and location to meet.
Gadke alerted police and the next day she met the seller in a Chippewa Falls parking lot,
where police arrested the 16-year-old girl. That led police to a 17-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man, who confessed to multiple thefts.
Man allegedly takes ride on baggage claim carousel
MIAMI (AP) — A Georgia man was arrested at the Miami International Airport after he allegedly got on the baggage claim carousel and rode it into a secure area.
Authorities said 40-year-old Bradley Ray Bromelow, from Alpharetta, Ga., fi lmed people watching him as he moved on the conveyor belt Thursday. He faces a charge of trespass-ing into a secured area at the airport where signs are posted.
The Transportation Security Administration is reviewing the matter to determine if he will receive any fi ne.
Bromelow bonded out of jail early Friday morning.
It wasn’t immediately known if he had an attorney.
Police: Doughnut thief pees, offers offi cer sex
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — Police say an Oklahoma woman tripled her trouble when she stole a doughnut from someone’s truck, peed in a parking lot and offered to perform a sex act on an offi cer for money.
The 27-year-old Tulsa woman was being held Thursday in Washington County Jail on charges of vehicle burglary, trespassing, inde-cent exposure and soliciting prostitution. Jail records do not show if she has a lawyer.
The Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise reports that the truck owner complained to police that the woman stole the doughnut at about 2 a.m. Wednesday. A convenience store clerk asked police to charge the woman because he said she relieved herself outside the store.

A fl urry of good news last weekIn the midst of this election
season, there was a flurry of good economic news at the
end of the week. Good news is welcomed relief from the con-stant barrage of political com-mercials which tend to point out everything that is wrong with our community, our state and our country. While our local economy still lags behind the re-vival happening in other areas, we are seeing increasing signs that an upturn in manufacturing will provide big benefits to Lee
County in the coming months. Here’s a sample of the good news from this past week:
o One of the state’s largest banks announced the hiring of 1,000 new small business bankers. “Small businesses play a critical role in driving innova-
tion and growth in our economy, and the steps we’re taking at Bank of America will help create more certainty, more confidence and more opportunity for small businesses in all of our mar-kets,” said BofA Chief Executive Brian Moynihan in announc-ing the initiative Thursday in Boston.

iPad comes to Verizon
Want an Apple iPad, but don’t want to switch
from Verizon to AT&T to get one? Soon you won’t have to.
Verizon Wireless and Apple announced this week that iPad will be available at over 2,000 Verizon Wireless stores — including the one in Sanford — beginning Oct. 28.
Verizon Wireless will offer three bundles, all featuring an iPad Wi-Fi model and a Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, for a suggested retail price of $629.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 16GB + MiFi, $729.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 32GB + MiFi and $829.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 64GB + MiFi.
Verizon Wireless is of-fering a monthly access plan to iPad customers of up to 1GB of data for just $20 a month. In addition, Verizon Wireless will also offer all three iPad Wi-Fi models on a stand-alone basis.
Essentially, rather than carry the 3G versions of the iPad, Verizon is simply packaging the WiFi version with an existing product. It will run on 3G network, just through a WiFi connection. Business savvy, but practical? Time will tell.
Time will also tell whether or not the iPhone follows the iPad to Veri-zon, an idea that is espe-cially exciting in Sanford since Verizon has a 3G network here and AT&T does not. Time will tell on that one, too.
The iPad allows users to browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and more, all using iPad’s Multi-Touch user inter-face. Wi-Fi models are just 0.5 inches thick and weigh just 1.5 pounds — thin-ner and lighter than any laptop or netbook — and deliver up to 10 hours of battery life.
MiFi 2200 allows cus-tomers to create a per-sonal Wi-Fi cloud capable of sharing the high-speed Internet connectivity of the Verizon Wireless 3G Mobile Broadband network with up to fi ve Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Customers can sign up for more information on Apple’s iPad together with Verizon Wireless’ MiFi 2200 at www.verizonwire-less.com/iPad, at any Verizon Wireless Com-munications Store or by calling 1-800-2 JOIN IN.

SHEFFIELD, England — Sheffield knows all about cuts — and no one knows bet-ter than Philip Wright.
A scissors manufacturer, he remembers this city at the height of its steel-making glory, when Sheffield’s fur-naces and factories produced ships and tools and cutlery for the dinner tables of the world.
The huge steelworks are mostly gone now, like so much British industry over the past few decades, the victim of international competi-tion, changing technology and governments with other priorities.
“The city at night used to be alight,” said Wright, whose tiny factory is a link to Shef-field’s past — and, he hopes, a part of its future.
That dream is under threat from deep government spending cuts to be unveiled Wednesday that many fear will once again crush cities in England’s traditional industri-al belt, a generation after they were laid low by former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s severe brand of capitalism.
Sheffield lost 70,000 jobs between 1979 and 1987, ac-cording to the local govern-ment — a quarter of the city’s total. The decline in steel-making was compounded by the closure of nearby coal mines in the wake of Thatch-er’s war with the unions.
“When Maggie Thatcher was in she brought us to our
knees,” said retiree Doreen Treweek, 70. “We really struggled. And now I’m really proud, because it’s risen from the ashes.”
With grit and determina-tion and dollops of public investment, Sheffield has re-made itself, forging a postin-dustrial economy from a mix of high-tech businesses, the service sector, tourism and education. Now many in this city of 500,000 — as in other cities across Britain — are worried that the spending cuts could derail that recovery.
Recession-battered Britain faces shrinking tax revenue and a growing welfare bill, and has spent billions bailing out indebted banks.
On Wednesday, Treasury chief George Osborne will announce details of more
than 80 billion pounds ($128 billion) in cuts he says are necessary to rein in Britain’s 156-billion-pound deficit and reduce its huge debt.
Prime Minister David Cam-eron’s center-right coalition government took office in May and has already announced a raft of painful measures, in-cluding welfare cuts, a hike in the goods and services tax and a rise in the retirement age.
In the next stage of cuts, government ministries will have their budgets reduced by up to 25 percent over four years — far more than any British administration since World War II has attempted, even Thatcher’s.

Hard-hit British heartland braces for cuts
By BARBARA BLAKEAn AP Member Exchange
MARSHALL — Ceil Salva-dori remembers clearly how people looked strangely at her and her late husband back in the ’80s when they learned that the couple manufactured and sold natural health products.
Not anymore.Their company, New
Sun, now based in Hen-dersonville, has flourished since 1987 and is part of what appears to be the leading edge of a boom in the natural products indus-try, from dietary supple-ments to organic flour.
To give Western North Carolina a leg up in the surge of entrepreneurial op-portunities in this relatively new industry, the North Carolina Natural Products Association and Marshall’s Very Small Business Center partnered Saturday to host a daylong forum called WNC Naturally.
About 40 people from across the region gathered at the Marshall High Studio on Blannahasset Island to peruse vendors’ prod-ucts and attend breakout sessions on topics such as local sources for buyers and sellers, how to start a natural products business, financing a new venture, regulatory issues, and how food can serve as medicine.
“It’s a $14 billion indus-try in the United States, one of the fastest-growing segments of the whole food and plant-based medicines industry,” said Paul Knott, manager of the BioBusiness Center on the Enka campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community Col-lege.
“There are lots of oppor-tunities for entrepreneurs, and they exist all along the natural products supply chain,” Knott said.
A few decades ago, many in the mainstream consid-ered goods like tinctures and organic cleaning products to be whimsical products hawked by new-age weirdos.

Today, those enter-prisers are part of the mainstream, as consum-ers are drawn more and more to natural rem-edies, eco-friendly soaps and shampoos, medici-nal plants and all-organ-ic foods. And consumer demand often translates to more demand, which equals more jobs.
“There are so many opportunities — grow-ers, harvesters, involve-ment in good manufac-turing practices, folks who are wholesalers sell-ing to retailers, and then marketing the products,” Knott said.
“We have to have a fo-cus on quality — we can’t compete with the big commodities (business-es), but we can offer the quality that they can’t,” he said. “And what’s hard for folks — even folks who are a part of this — to believe is how many people it takes” to make, distribute and market natural products, Knott said.
Salvadori, one of about a dozen vendors at Saturday’s forum, said her late husband, Dr. James Salvadori Jr., saw the future on the hori-zon more than 30 years ago and began creating natural remedies. Today, their company sells 600 products and has 12
employees, and the busi-ness continues to grow.
“I would love for more people to understand that there are natural alternatives; too many people are still buying drugs — over the counter and prescription — with-out considering that there are alternatives,” Salvadori said. “The more people can learn, the more they will make proper choices for their health.”
Simone Bouyer, a Mars Hill marketing professional who owns Ad World Services, signed up for the forum to learn more about marketing opportunities in the natural products industry — an industry she suspects has been under-tapped by the advertising world.
“I’m very supportive of natural products, and I have a huge interest in not only my county, but in local farms, fam-ily farms and healthy foods,” Bouyer said.
“I wanted to see what gaps there might be, to see what everybody’s thinking and see if we’re all on the same page,” she said. “And maybe there will be some op-portunities for me to help them get where they want to be.”
Information from: The Asheville Citizen-Times, http://www.citizen-times.com
way. I wish there was an easier way. But I tell you: There is no other responsible way,” Cam-eron told his Conserva-tive Party conference earlier this month.
As many as 600,000 public sector jobs ex-pected to be eliminated, on top of hundreds of thousands of private sector positions already lost in the recession. The government hopes that as the economy grows, new private sec-tor jobs will fill the gap.
But some econo-mists say sudden cuts could tip Britain’s fragile economy back into recession. The OECD, an international club of developed economies, has warned against rapid cuts, and the U.S. government wants other countries to continue stimulus programs aimed at encouraging spending.
Christopher Pissa-rides, joint winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in economics, said the cuts are “too much too quickly.”
“If you do it suddenly, lots of workers might lose their jobs and then you have a problem of placing all of them in new jobs,” said Pissa-
rides, who teaches at the London School of Economics. “If you do it gradually ... people may have found new jobs by the time others lose theirs.”
Governments across Europe are facing simi-lar dilemmas. They don’t want to end up like Greece, which had to be saved from the brink of bankruptcy earlier this year by massive rescue loans. The severe austerity measures that followed have sparked violent protests.
Britain’s neighbor Ireland — no longer the Celtic Tiger — has made savage cuts in response to its debt crisis, includ-ing tax hikes and deep cuts in public sector salaries.
In France, plans to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 have sparked mass demon-strations and a series of strikes. Even prudent Germany plans to save 80 billion ($96 billion) by reducing handouts to parents, cutting 15,000 government jobs and delaying major con-struction projects.
Anger and worry are simmering in Sheffield, 170 miles (275 kilome-ters) north of London, where civic regeneration is a source of local pride.
Downtown Sheffield has been transformed
in the last decade. The once-grimy area around the grand Victorian town hall is busy with shoppers and dot-ted with pleasant new squares and public spaces.
But the impact of the recession is visible. Several streets of shops were emptied to make way for a new retail development that is now in limbo. The empty storefronts have been filled with work by local artists and designers to make the area look less bleak.
Worse may be com-ing. A third of Sheffield’s workers are employed in government, education and health care, and many private compa-nies rely on public-sec-tor contracts.
The local council has already sent notices to 8,500 city hall staff warning they may face reductions in benefits or hours — or be laid off.
Meanwhile private businesses — includ-ing a reduced but still significant steel sec-tor — face shrinking government support at a time when credit crunch-squeezed banks remain reluctant to lend.
The city celebrated when the previous Labour government promised an 80 million
pound loan to Sheffield Forgemasters to make parts for nuclear power plants — a blend of traditional steelmaking and high-tech engineer-ing that would have created 180 jobs. The new Conservative-led government has can-celed the loan.
Small businesses like Wright’s scissors fac-tory are clinging on, and hoping. Founded in 1902, Ernest Wright and Son had 65 employees by the 1970s. Now it has six, and is one of the last industrial businesses left in an area of brick warehouses and facto-ries being remade into trendy city apartments.
“I knew there was going to be a recession, but I didn’t know it was going to be as bad as it was,” said Wright’s son Nick, who plans to take over the business when his father retires next year. “Our order book just plummeted.
“We’ve struggled like there’s no tomorrow and we’re that close, still, to going to the wall.”
But he is determined to carry on by com-bining the company’s Sheffield heritage with modern marketing and online sales.
“There’s a passion about the cutlery trade,” he said. “It gets into your blood.”
may spend more money. The National Retail Fed-eration forecast 2.3 per-cent increase in sales in November and Decem-ber, which would be the best performance since 2006. Local retailer Joe Purce, owner of Kath-ryn’s Hallmark, reports a strong and steady increase in customer traffic as consumers look for Halloween and pre-holiday specials.
o Back-to-school sales reports are in: August and September were better than expect-ed, many analysts said, and that has helped lift retail stocks. The
Standard & Poor’s retail index is up about 16.7 percent, compared with a 10.5 percent increase in the Standard & Poor’s 500, according to
o Housing starts rose 10.5 percent in August, according to U.S. Commerce Depart-ment figures. Also, the Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-look-ing indicator, rose 4.3 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief econo-mist, who said the latest data is consistent with a gradual improvement in home sales in upcom-ing months. “Attractive affordability conditions from very low mortgage interest rates appear to be bringing buyers back
to the market,” he said. Locally, Susan Britton, branch manager at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, reports that business is very strong. “The number of purchase mortgages improves every week,” said Sue. She also reports that her office has four produc-ers ranked in the top ten in her region, which includes most of Pied-mont North Carolina and the Mountains.
o Forbes Magazine ranks North Carolina as the 3rd Best State for Business in America, up from last year’s rank-ing of fifth. In addition, recent statistics from the Federal Bureau of Labor and Statistics show North Carolina is the 3rd best state for
declining unemploy-ment and 4th in the na-tion for job creation.
This shows that the hard work of many over the past year and a half has paid off - streamlin-ing operations, im-proving market share, investing in technology and focusing on good customer service - these activities by businesses large and small, even activity by local and state government has paid dividends. Thanks to hard working business people everywhere, we’re moving forward.
Now here’s a mes-sage for consumers: Don’t forget to shop in Lee County this season — consumer spending makes up 70 percent of our economy.

Getting Readyfor the

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

A Good Week to Think AboutRetirement Savings
You may not see it posted on your calendar, but this is National Save for Retirement Week. This annual event, endorsed by Congress, is designed to raise awareness about the importance of saving for retirement — so why not take some time this week to review your own strategy for achieving the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned?
Of course, you may wonder why we even need a National Save for Retirement Week. Unfortunately, it seems many Americans are not doing a good job of saving and planning for their retirement years. Consider these figures, taken from the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2010 Retirement Confidence Survey:
say they are very confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement.
the total value of their household’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined benefit plans (i.e., traditional
they and/or their spouse have tried toCalculate how much money they will need for a comfortable retirement.
These are obviously troubling statistics
— and they indicate that most of us probably need to put more thought and effort into our retirement savings. What can you do? Here are a few suggestions:
. Try to define the lifestyle you want during retirement. Will you travel the world or stay close to home? Will you work part time or spend your hours volunteering or pursuing hobbies? Once you know what your retirement might look like, try to estimate how much it might cost.
. Take into account your IRA,
retirement plan, Social Security and other savings and investments. How much income will they provide? How much can you withdraw from these vehicles each year without depleting them?
Try to determine if your savings and investments will be enough to provide you with an income stream that’s
adequate to meet your retirement needs. If it isn’t, develop an estimate of the size of the shortfall.
If it doesn’t look like you’ll have enough to meet your retirement needs, you’ll have to adjust your savings and investment strategy. You may have to contribute more
accounts, or you may have to adjusting your investment mix to provide more potential growth —or you may need to take both of these steps.
Once you’ve put your investment strategy into place, you’ll need to monitor your progress to make sure you’re on track toward achieving your retirement savings goals. Along the way, you may have to make adjustments in response to changes in the markets, your objectives or your family situation.
Taking these types of action can be challenging, so you may want to work with a professional financial advisor who has the experiences and resources necessary to help you identify and pursue your retirement goals. In any case, though, take action soon — and National Save for Retirement Week is a great time to start.

THE BIBLE SPEAKS
The Lord is waiting for you to step out
Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. Exodus 14:13
The children of Israel had the Red Sea in front of
them and the Egyptians racing toward them from behind in chariots with weapons drawn. Though they had seen mighty miracles days before, they quickly forgot them in their desert peril. In the verses previous to our text you can read how they cried out to the Lord and Moses, complaining that he had led them to their death in the desert. “Better to have been left in slavery in Egypt than to die in the desert” they complained. Moses him-self could have wondered why God specifi cally directed them on a route that would invite the Egyptians to come after them (see Ex. 14:2-4).
However, Moses chose to put his faith in God and defy his feelings and even his logic. If God was leading them, he would trust Him to protect them. Moses would step out in faith and then watch God step in with power and faithfulness.
The Lord often brings His children to similar places in their spiritual walk with Him. Places where they have to trust Him for what they cannot see in order to receive what He will not show them until they exercise that trust. God loves faith; it pleases Him more than anything else (Heb. 11:6).
God waits for us to step out in faith, and then He steps in with a plan or His power or what-
ever is needed. Faith acts before God does, trusting Him to deliver upon His promises. Moses took the people on the dangerous route and then told them God would deliver them BEFORE the Lord told him what He was going to do. Moses simply be-lieved God was in control and capable of protecting them. Moses stepped out and God stepped in, in a big way!
In many years of min-istry I have seen people refuse to step out in faith because they could not see how it would work out. They operate in fear of the unknown rather than by faith in the God they know. Such believers want God to show them what He will do before they will commit to step-ping out. They want God to map out His plan and provide some assurances of delivering the goods before they will follow His leading.
God, on the other hand, is waiting for us to trust Him without knowl-edge of how He will work or if He will work in the way we want Him to. The Bible speaks of “walking by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). The Lord is waiting for you to step out so that He can step in. Stop waiting for Him to make the fi rst move. Live by faith, not by fear. Step out!
Bruce MacInnesThe Bible Speaks
MacInnes is pastor at Turner’s Chapel Church
in Sanford. Contact him at [email protected]
Question often asked: ‘Why, God, why?’
Those who are go-ing through the dark night of suf-
fering often ask, “Why, God, why?” It becomes easy for them to believe that God is omnipotent but does not care. or that He loves but is powerless to prevent their suffer-ing.”
This is precisely the kind of sentiment that was expressed by Job’s counselor, Elihu, as he rolled back the curtain on the reality of human anguish, “Where is my Maker who gives songs in the night? (Job 35:10).
Only one who has en-dured the long night and has heard the Lord’s song in the midst of suffering has any right to answer. But the answer comes to us through Psalm 42. Out of the depths, the psalmist shouts the as-surance, “The Lord will command His loving-kindness in the daytime; and His song will be with me in the night” (Psalm 42:8).
This was no easy, glib, pious platitude. The writer was in the night-
time of his life when he wrote these words. Along with other cap-tives he had been led away from his beloved Jerusalem to an excruci-ating exile. During the days of his long march, he had been taunted by his captors and was ravaged by pain of body and soul.
All he could do in his darkness was utter a sad soliloquy of his suffering which fi nally turns into a dynamic dialogue of au-thentic prayer. As we lis-ten in, we discover how to face the experience of going through the night, fi nd the purpose of the night, and fi nally hear
the song of hope in the night.
The taunting ques-tions hurled at the psalmist by his enemies threatened the very fabric of his faith. His pain, multiplied by disappointment, fi nally lead him to despair. The question posed by his captors now became his, “Where is your God?”
Indeed, where was the psalmist’s God? It is the question of sickness, of unexplainable calamity, of life’s bitter reversals. The questions of the night inevitably keep on coming, so that we cry out with the psalmist, “Why have You forgotten me?”
In exploring the pres-ence of suffering in our world we are ultimately led to consider the kind of persons God created humans to be. Freedom is necessary for the ac-complishment of God’s purpose. Without the power of choice, we are little more than mari-onettes. To take away human freedom, and a world in which suffering
is a possibility as a result of wrong choices, would make us less than God made us.
That leads us to the purpose of the night. The purpose is found in the fi rst two verses of Psalm 42, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?” It is when we are lying on our backs that the only direction we can look is up.
Suffering gave the psalmist a precious gift: an intimacy with God that he would not have had otherwise. Thus, the purpose of the night is to move from self-centered pity to the dialogue of God-centered praise. Trouble gives us traction as we run to God.
When you are lying on your back the only way you can look is up. It is then, as the psalmist has said, that you are able to experience the adequacy of God’s presence.

Sanford Lions ClubThe Executive Director
of the N.C. Lions Founda-tion, Inc., Steve Walker, was guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Sanford Lions Club Thursday, Oct. 7. Past District Governor David Martin introduced Walker who outlined the many humanitarian pro-grams coordinated by the foundation and supported by funds raised by local
Lions clubs across North Carolina.
“The Lions Foundation is you,” Walker stressed. “Our purpose is to provide the programs and proj-ects you and other Lions across the state ask us to do — projects that are too big for a single club or one district,” he added.
Funds raised by Lions Clubs go to many hu-manitarian projects to help visually and hearing im-paired citizens guided by the foundation in addition to many local projects ad-ministered by local clubs. These can range from funding eye exams and glasses for the needy, help-ing provide specialized devices and equipment needed by individuals, ed-ucation grants for children of the visually impaired, free vision screenings, collection and processing of old eye glasses for use by the needy and helping fund clinical eye research at the state’s major medical centers.
But projects that enrich and bring enjoyment to the lives of the visual and hearing impaired are those that more closely touch the hearts of many Lions, Walker related. Camp Dogwood and the annual VIP Fishing Tournament are examples. The camp is located on Lake Norman north of Charlotte and pro-vides outstanding summer experiences for campers who are sponsored by local Lions Clubs. The fi shing event is held each fall on the Outer Banks where visually impaired persons from across the state are treated to a fun weekend of fi shing and fellowship sup-ported by Lion volunteers and the Lions Foundation. Walker thanked the San-ford Lions and our com-munity for their support of
these Lions projects.In other business, Avron
Upchurch reported on progress of sight screen-ing now underway in the Lee County Schools. Each year Lions volunteer to assist school nurses with this project. Some schools are screened in the fall while others are tested in the spring, Upchurch said. Teresa Dew proposed that the Lions sponsor a fl oat in the local Christmas parades to feature the vari-ous young ladies chosen queens during the recent Lee Regional Fair. It would also showcase the varied groups involved in Lionism including the night-time club, day-time branch club and the Leo youth club.
President Marvin Joyner reported that $850 was contributed by the club to a Harnett County child with severe eye defects following a request from the Angier Lions Club for support. Fair Steering Committee Chairman George Harvey informed members that the Oct. 28 meeting will be fair ap-preciation night when the club invites and honors the many volunteers and all who participated at the fall event.
Reports were given on the club’s sick and those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Members sang happy birthday to Andy Childress, the club’s kitchen chairman. David Martin opened the meet-ing with prayer and Barry Eadie led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Central Carolina Paddlers
The Central Carolina Paddlers met Sept. 8th, for their regular monthly meeting. Fifteen members were present, as well as two guests. Minutes from the last meeting were read and approved. Follow-ing the welcoming and
introduction of guests, the treasurer’s report was givenand committee reports were heard.
On Sept. 4, more than 12 club members partici-pated in “Lake Trace Fest,” held at Carolina Trace’s Country Club grounds and Marina. We had an information table featur-ing our club and held kayak demonstrations on the lake. With a lot of kayaks, paddles, and life vests available, it gave over a hundred people, young & old, the opportunity to try the sport of kayaking. Our members will also volun-teer their time during NC Big Sweep, on Oct. 2. The area we will work is Deep River, from the Carbonton Dam to Deep River Park.

Bryan Scruggs was the evening’s guest speaker. Scruggs has worked for the North Carolina Wildlife Commission for over 25 years and patrols Lee, Cha-tham and southern Ran-dolph Counties. He gave an informative program on “Boating in Local Waters,” which included a question and answer session.

8C / Sunday, October 17, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Clubs
Sanford Civitan ClubThe regular bi-weekly
meeting of the Sanford Civitan Club was held Oct. 7 at the Civitan clubhouse on Golf Course Road. There were 12 members present as well as two guests in attendance. There was no special guest speaker as this was primarily a business meeting.
The meeting was opened by President Van Blanton, who offered the invocation. The pledge of allegiance was then led by George Noel. Blanton offered a warm welcome to everyone especially the guests. He then mentioned the member Andy Siegner was recovering slowly from his recent surgery and that he had requested the mem-bers and others refrain from visiting at this time.
After dinner, the main discussion was item was fundraising and what proj-ects would be most likely to succeed. It was basically decided to revisit a par-ticularly successful project that lasted for many years. From 1987 until 2005 the Civitan placemat project had been well received and had served as the primary fundraiser during this time. The project was halted when the distributor of the placemats closed his busi-ness. Several businesses were discussed as possible distributor candidates. Two members then volunteered to contact some of these candidates and report back to the membership at the next meeting.
There were no commit-tee reports presented or formal motions brought up for action.
The next scheduled meeting will be Oct. 21.
This meeting will be the installation of offi cers for 2010-11 and is also desig-nated as “spouses” night. It is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
Sanford Woman’s Club
The Sanford Woman’s Club met Oct. 1 at BW Family Restaurant with 14 members and three guests present. President Alice Beardslee presided and led the members in the salute to the American and North Carolina fl ags.

Jeff Moss introduced our program for the day, Aaron Fleming, director of Career Technical Education for the Lee County Schools.
Aaron began by saying that vocational education is vastly different from what we knew in the schools a generation ago. It is much more than Home Econom-ics and Agriculture. He reported that 6,000 seats are fi lled in Lee County by young people enrolled in 95 different vocational courses. In N.C. 86.5 percent of those enrolled in this program graduate. In Lee County 89.6 percent graduate. Some of the vo-cational courses are taught as early as middle school.
Aaron noted that Agri-culture was once the major industry in North Carolina. In recent years the acre-age devoted to farming is decreasing. Bio-technol-
ogy is now giving a new dimension to agriculture, along with the emphasis on clean energy from solar, wind, and enclosed water sources.
The fi eld of business law and business management offers varied options for the students, including courses on personal fi nance, earn-ing, saving and spending, threats to fi nancial security, fi nancial goals and family needs, salary and taxes, bank services, insurance, and investments.
A new area for stu-dents relates to marketing, which includes sports and entertainment, travel and tourism. Aaron pointed out that the Triangle area is now a major destination for tourists includes he state. Lee County has close prox-imity to this metro area.
Aaron was proud of the partnership with CCCC in building the green sustain-able home, which will be donated to a Habitat family upon completion.
Some of the new of-ferings in the Lee County Schools include computer and networking, auto ser-vice, carpentry and electri-cal, health sciences and nursing aid. Joint courses with CCCC offer studies in cosmetology, collision repair, and criminal justice. It is likely that masonry will become back into the cur-riculum after being absent for 30 years.
President Tony thanked Aaron for his informative program, and indicated that a bi-lingual children’s book would be placed in the Lee County Library in his honor.
The meeting adjourned with Poly Cohen leading the Pledge of Allegiance, and Sam Sillaman leading the Four-Way Test.
