First Presbyterian Church members Norman Stryker and Holly McEachin sort through the first batch of donations dropped off Wednesday at First Presbyterian Church in Monroe. The church is trying to fill a trailer with canned goods that will be divided between Crisis Assistance Ministry and the Loaves and Fishes food pantry.

Church gathers food donations through Sept. 30

Filling the trailer

BY TIFFANY LANEStaff Writer

MONROELoaves and Fishes of

Monroe has spent $27,000 more on food this year than last. Between May 2008 and this past April, it has served more than 4,500 people — about 95,000 meals.

“We are viewing this as a disaster in Union Coun-ty,” said First Presbyteri-an Church member Mar-garet Desio. With so many local people going hungry, the church has parked a 28-foot trailer in its park-ing lot, hoping to fill it by the end of the month.

Donations will be split between Loaves and Fish-es and United Way’s Cri-sis Assistance Ministry, and every donated item will go to a Union County resident.

Desio compared the eco-

nomic downturn to post-Hurricane Katrina. After the hurricane, the church ran a similar food drive and the trailer filled up in no time.

“This is no less a disas-ter than what it was in New Orleans,” she said. “We just can’t stand that people are going hungry.”

Gloria Barrino, execu-tive director of Crisis Assistance Ministry, said the agency has served 586 households so far this year — 150 more than last year.

“The need is outstrip-ping our resources,” she said. All United Way agen-cies are also in a blackout period, which means that individual agencies can-not hold fundraisers dur-ing the United Way of

Indian Trail man shotDeputies charge neighbor after late-night attackBY JASON deBRUYNStaff Writer

INDIAN TRAILA man was shot while

standing on his front porch Tuesday night.

Benjamin Maldonado told investigators that he stepped out of his house across from Indian Trail Elementary at about 11:30 p.m. and was shot at by Onesimo Billareal with a .40-caliber weapon from the neighboring house.

Maldonado was hit in the groin area and went back inside his house to call police, according to Union County Sheriff ’s Capt. Mike Easley,

Investigators said Bil-lareal, 26, of 307 N. Indian Trail Road, followed Mal-donado into the house, threatened him and fired another shot into the floor. When Maldonado called the police, he said, Billareal went back to the

neighboring house.When police and a med-

ical team arrived, Mal-donado was treated and deputies surrounded the neighboring house.

Easley said Billareal first refused to come out, but was taken into cus-tody without a problem when police entered the house. Easley added that Maldonado said he did not know Billareal and had seen him only a few

times. Billareal is charged

with assault with a dead-ly weapon with intent to kill, communicating threats, burglary and dis-charging a weapon into an occupied property. He was being held at the Union County jail under a $100,000 bond. Police re-covered the weapon.

Gold: Buy, hold or sell?

NEW YORK (AP) — Gold prices rose above $1,000 an ounce Tuesday for the first time in seven months, mostly because of a weak dollar that’s driving peo-ple to o t h e r i nv e s t -m e n t s t h e y perceive as safe.

H o w is the increase in price — which has accelerated in recent weeks — likely to affect jewelry shoppers? What about people who invest in gold, or the economy as a whole?

Here are some questions and answers about the high price of gold.

Q: Was Tuesday’s high price a record for gold?

A: It was high, but not a record.

The price of gold climbed as high as $1,009.70 an ounce in the morning be-fore giving up some of its gains later in the day. In afternoon trading, prices settled at around $1,000 an ounce.

Tuesday’s price was the highest of the year and the first time the price rose above $1,000 since Febru-ary. But the record came on March 17, 2008, when gold prices hit $1,033.90.

Tuesday’s price was even further from the re-cord high when account-ing for inflation. In 1980, gold prices hit $850 an ounce — equivalent to more than $2,200 in today’s dollars.

Q: Why are gold prices rising?

A: Analysts say the price of gold has been rising predominantly because of the weakening value of the U.S. dollar. Typically gold prices move in the op-posite direction of the dol-lar, so as it weakens, gold prices rise.

The reason: When the value of the dollar, often considered the world’s reserve currency, is fall-ing, investors often turn to gold as a relatively safe alternative place to put their money.

“When you have curren-cies weakening and there’s no currency of choice (among traders), you move to gold,” said Carlos San-chez, an analyst with CPM Group in New York.

And it’s not just a weak dollar that can have this effect; investors’ worries about further weakening can boost gold prices even higher.

The dollar continued to weaken against other ma-jor currencies Tuesday, falling by about 1 percent against the euro and the British pound.

Q: Why is the dollar weakening?

A: It’s largely because of concerns related to the massive stimulus spending by the U.S.

STALLINGSThe Stallings Town

Council will meet with N.C. Department of Transportation represen-tatives tonight to discuss the future of Stallings Road.

The two parties met at Stallings United Meth-odist Church on Aug. 24 with a packed audience

of concerned residents and business owners. Many were there to pro-test widening the road under the DOT’s original plan, which called for four lanes and a 23-foot median. A bridge would also run over the railroad tracks, with the bottom of it at least 23 feet off the ground.

Locals say the project would increase traffic, re-

duce businesses’ parking space or eliminate access to businesses altogether, and disrupt the historic Methodist church. A few business owners have said they would be forced to relocate if the road is widened under those con-ditions. Some residents might be forced out of their homes and aren’t satisfied that the state is offering them fair market

value.DOT division engineer

Barry Moose led other department officials in the August discussion and reassured the town that there’s room for compromise. Traffic will increase no matter what the outcome is, he said, but one thing he said he has never done in 23

Marjorie Laney Bernabe

Mrs. Bernabe stepped into the realms of Heaven on September 3, 2009. She was reunited with her husband, Ben-ny Bernabe; her son, Benny, Jr.; her great grandson Alan; and three brothers, James, Donald, and Guy and her sisters, Jewel Mik-los, and Mary Kirk Mat-thews. She was 85 years old.

Marjorie was born and raised in Union County. She grew up in the Wesley Chapel/Siler community and at 17, she met a handsome soldier on the road near her home. He asked her for a cup of hot coffee and they exchanged ad-dresses. After a brief courtship through the mail, Benny Bernabe asked Marjorie to be-come his wife.

Benny and Marjorie had two children, Ben-ny Jr and Donna. They raised them in Indian Trail where Marjorie owned and operated the Trailer Beauty Shop for over 40 years. Besides all of the hair and “poli-tickin” that was done in the beauty shop, there were also countless, lifelong friendships that were conceived and nurtured there. There were several ladies who would show up for their hair appointment with their lunches packed just so they could hang out at the shop for the day to catch up on the latest “news” in Union County!

After retiring from the beauty shop, Marjo-rie moved to the moun-tains of Trade, Tennes-see with her daughter and son-in-law, Donna and Frankie Goodwin. She had a beautiful home nestled between 3 mountains that, of course, she covered with trees and flowers from top to bottom!

Marjorie loved to have her friends and family visit her new home. She always welcomed them with opened arms and always prepared a feast that was fit for a king. The very best macaroni and cheese, fried apple pies, and sweet tea were always on the table at Marjorie’s. She had a rule that no one left her house hungry.

Marjorie loved to be outside tending to her flowers and working in her garden. She grew the most beautiful day lilies, irises, and dahl-ias on this side of Heav-en. In addition to the corn, beans, tomatoes, and squash in the gar-den, she had potatoes the size of softballs and cabbage heads as big as basketballs! She loved sharing the fresh vege-tables from her garden, as well as the ones she froze and canned, with her family and friends.

The greatest joy in Marjorie’s life was spending time with her family. Her grandba-bies all loved to visit Grandmommy in the mountains. While they were there, they would get outside and play

in the creek catching crawl dads and throw-ing rocks. She would pick Queen Anne’s Lace and put them in colored water for the kids so they could watch them change color. When it was time to come in-side, she would get out all the ingredients for making popcorn balls and let the kids make the balls and they would eat them together. She also loved to have the kids play their musi-cal instruments for her. There was never a dull moment at Grandmom-my’s house!

On one of the last vis-its where she was able to be outside with the grandkids, she watched as they planted this year’s potatoes in the garden. After the plant-ing was done, the kids all went fishing in the trout pond and each one caught a fish. The fish were grilled for supper that night. What a feast we had! The whole day is a memory that they will cherish forever.

Although she will not be here when the kids harvest the potatoes they planted, you can bet that the supper table in Heaven just got bet-ter! While we will miss her here, we know that we will see her again soon. We are all looking forward to that great re-union.

Marjorie leaves be-hind a legacy of faith, strength, and love in all of us who knew and loved her. We will all carry on her faith in God to get us through our lives; her incredible strength to deal with the hard times that we all will face; and the love that she shared with us will warm our hearts for the rest of our lives. Knowing her and loving her has truly been one of the greatest blessings of our lives.

Marjorie is survived by 3 sisters; Wilene Ma-ness, Geneva Hepp, and Evelyn Marr; 1 brother, Will Laney; her daugh-ter, Donna Goodwin; her daughter-in-law, John-nie Bernabe; 4 grand-children, and 10 great grandchildren. Her final wish was to have her body donated to medical research in an attempt to help in find-ing a cure for cancer. There will be receiving of friends in celebra-tion of her life on Sun-day, September 13th at Heritage Funeral Home in Indian Trail from 1 to 3 pm. In lieu of flowers please send memorials to Medical Center Hos-pice; 101 Med Tech Park-way; Suite 100; Johnson City, TN 37604.

PAID OBITUARY

Archerd: Known for facts, not gossip

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Army Archerd, whose breezy column for the entertainment trade pub-lication Daily Variety kept tabs on various Hol-lywood doings for more than a half-century, has died. He was 87.

Archerd’s wife, Selma, said he died Tuesday at UCLA Medical Center of mesothelioma, a cancer of the lungs strongly tied to asbestos exposure. She said the cancer was the result of his time spent in shipyards while serving in the Navy during World War II. She said he had be-come very ill over the last two years, especially in the last two weeks.

Over the years, Archerd won praise from the Hol-lywood establishment for

always checking the ac-curacy of his news tips before printing them. He had a phone directory of much-guarded private numbers that he would use to call stars and studio bosses directly to ferret out which rumors were true and which were not.

His biggest scoop came in 1985 when he was first to report that veteran leading man Rock Hudson had AIDS. It was the first time a major Hollywood star was disclosed to be an AIDS victim, and it helped break down some of the secrecy surround-ing the disease.

Archerd — born Ar-mand Archerd in New York in 1922 — also broke the story that Julia Rob-erts had jilted fiance Ke-ifer Sutherland in 1991 and that longtime bach-elor Warren Beatty had married Annette Bening in 1992. His source for the Beatty-Bening story was Beatty himself.

Archerd’s columns were generally mild-mannered, although he could lash out when provoked. After he excoriated Michael Jackson for including an-ti-Semitic remarks in his “HIStory” album, the en-tertainer apologized and took them out.

DOTContinued from 1A

years of working with DOT is “force a project on a community that don’t want the project.”

Complete Streets, a DOT policy adopted ear-lier this summer, also says the DOT will col-laborate with towns and stakeholders to build or reconstruct local roads. The policy aims to af-fect existing buildings, parks and historic sites as little as possible.

Mayor Lynda Paxton has said she is confi-dent the two sides can come to a compromise, particularly under the new policy.

Town Council mem-bers are not in favor of the DOT’s original plan, saying they need the small businesses for town revenue. Some have said the town should revisit a Chest-nut Lane project, which would extend the road to U.S. Highway 74 and save the town from wid-ening Stallings Road.

Chestnut Lane is in Indian Trail, and some Stallings Council mem-bers and residents are hesitant to put money into a project that they say would benefit an-other town.

Councilman Wyatt Dunn has suggested splitting both the cost of the extension and revenue from subse-quent business along the extension with In-dian Trail if no other options work out.

At the last meeting, Moose outlined five op-tions for the town to alle-viate traffic in the area: put a hold on the project and reevaluate what the town would like to ac-complish, do nothing and leave the road as is, widen the road into four lanes with a median, extend Chestnut Lane or let the town take responsibility for the road so it’s not under the DOT’s control. The latter would also mean no DOT funding.

Moose said reevaluat-ing the project is his top recommendation, but could delay any kind of actual road work for several years depend-ing on how far back the town wants to go. Many residents, though, ap-plauded when he men-tioned doing nothing.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at Town Hall, located at 315 Stall-ings Road.

Graham association denies racismFormer employee says evangelical group excludes black churches

RALEIGH (AP) — The Billy Graham Evange-listic Association said Wednesday it never discriminated against a black employee and argued in court papers that her lawsuit should be dismissed because of “church autonomy.”

Attorneys for the as-sociation argued that the complaint from former employee Kimberly Mc-Callum failed to contend that the job she lost re-

mained open or was given to another person — of-ten a key to discrimina-tion cases. They also said churches have autonomy that bars the courts from interfering in the organi-zation’s internal affairs.

“Such an inquiry by the courts would be an impermissible entangle-ment into the affairs of a religious organization,” the attorneys wrote in their motion to dismiss the case that was re-

leased Wednesday. They contend that the associa-tion never discriminated nor retaliated against McCallum.

McCallum, who is from Charlotte, said in her lawsuit she was abruptly fired in 2007 after com-plaining to her superiors that the organization was not reaching out to black churches.

She argued that a list of 635 prospective church partners had only three

memberships that were primarily black, and Mc-Callum said it was appar-ent that black churches were excluded from the document.

She tried to get other jobs at the association but was blocked from other positions and had a later job offer revoked, accord-ing to the complaint. The lawsuit seeks a job rein-statement, back pay and damages for what she de-scribes as discrimination

because of her race.The association, found-

ed by Billy Graham in 1950 and with main of-fices in Charlotte, is now led by Graham’s son, Franklin.

Religion observers say the group has long tried to expand its diversity, and officials at the asso-ciation pointed out that two prominent black pas-tors from the Minneapo-lis area recently led an association event there.

YOUR VIEWd

On August 14 a young Marine Lance Corporal, Joshua Bernard, was

struck by a Taliban-fired RPG during an ambush while on patrol in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province. This American hero suffered severe leg wounds and eventually succumbed to his injuries on a field hospital operating table.

According to friends, Bernard was a young man whose strong faith guided him on a path of service -- eventually leading to his enlistment in the Marine Corps. His passing is a tremendous blow to his family and friends -- and to an eternally grateful nation.

Similar stories of sacrifice and loss have been playing out across our nation as our young men and women continue to serve in harm’s way. What makes this story even more tragic is a decision by the Associated Press that crosses the bounds of decency.

You see, the Associated Press has reporters and photographers embedded with the Marines as they conduct combat operations. AP photographer Julie Jacobson, an embed in Afghanistan during the ambush, captured images of Bernard as he lay mortally wounded. Sensing opportunity, the Associated Press team put together a narrative entitled “AP Impact - Afghan - Death of a Marine” also using the work of journalist Alfred de Montesquiou along with

cameraman Ken Teh, in which they inexplicably included the image of the slain, young Marine.

Even after appeals from the family and Defense Secretary Gates, the AP went forward with its publication over their objections on the grounds that it conveyed “the grimness of war.”

While I applaud many in the press who jeopardize their own safety at risk to cover our men and women in battle, the actions of the Associated Press here also jeopardize the already fragile relationships Americans have with members of the press. Unbiased reporting from the battlefield is crucial to relaying the truths of war back to all of us at home.

But incidents such as this, where the media puts its own agenda (be it personal, professional or political) ahead of the respectful treatment each of us would expect if

this was a member of our family, are why so many of us are skeptical of what is reported in newspapers, online and on television.

This young Marine, his family and friends deserved better. They deserved to remember their son, their friend, their fellow-Marine, as he lived rather than through the lens of a media team more interested in furtherance of their own aims than of common decency. Now the man has been forgotten for the news story.

And the terrorist enemies who caused this casualty should not have their works widely distributed internationally -- surely to be used as propaganda.

Many news organizations understood this, and, in respect and compassion, chose not to run the photograph. I am thankful for their sense and restraint. Nevertheless, this is a test which more

than 20 news outlets failed.The grimness of war is

something we all need to be consistently reminded of -- teaching us about the sacrifices of the few who, on our behalf, defend our freedoms as we go about our daily lives.

These stories, and the courageous individuals behind them, must never be forgotten, nor should the horrors they endure be lightly pushed aside.

In this instance, however, the worldwide distribution of an image of an American hero as he passes to his Creator is something far too graphic and, moreover, intrusive to pass the test of responsible journalism -- and that of responsible human behavior.

If you’re looking for a silver lining in the effects of the recession on state govern-ment, we’ve found one. Efforts to establish

an endowment that could lead to censorship of free political speech have been delayed.

On Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s first day at work after being sworn in back in Janu-ary, she issued an executive order setting up a task force to establish a so-called “endow-ment for positive gubernatorial campaigns.”

A recent report by the Winston-Salem Journal noted that the efforts have gone no where, pri-marily because promoters out there don’t think there are a lot of philanthropists out there will-ing to give a lot of money to the foundation.

“Those who would financially support the en-dowment are struggling with the same economic downturn that has afflicted all of North Caro-lina and the country,” Perdue spokesman Chrissy Pearson told the newspaper in an e-mail.

The report suggests that the foundation would need to raise about $50 million in order to fund the campaigns of gubernatorial candidates.

According to Perdue’s campaign Web site, candidates qualifying for money from this endowment would have to pledge that:

• Their advertising will not name or oth-erwise refer to another candidate.

• Their advertising will address questions on a menu of major issues developed by the endowment.

• They will not spend any other mon-ies on paid advertising.

Not being able to name or refer to your op-ponent in a campaign ad would stifle political debate. And the restriction of allowing your ads to address only issues sanctioned by the en-dowment is the equivalent of censorship.

The proposal would also put restrictions on political parties and seek to place restrictions on other groups that might want to weigh in on issues in the gubernatorial campaign.

Candidates who choose not to participate in the foundation funding and therefore not limit their free political speech would be se-verely handicapped in the campaign.

For example, individual contributions to campaigns would be limited to $250. Cur-rently, the individual limit is $4,000.

The proposal tilts the playing field in favor of candidates who opt into the foundation funding in other ways. For example, individuals would be able to give more to such candidates if the candidate’s opponent is not participating in the program.

The proposal for the endowment was never a good idea. It’s even worse now. Perdue should take her file on the proposed speech-stifling foundation and throw it in the recycling bin.

Support literacyInternational Literacy Day

was first established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Orga-nization (UNESCO) and since 1966 has been celebrated each year on September 8th. Many organizations and governments throughout the world use the day to heighten awareness of adult and child literacy and encourage reading in general.

In Union County an esti-mated 20,000 adults lack basic literacy skills, with the effects felt throughout our community. Imagine parents unable to read to their children, workers un-able to read a safety sign posted in the work place, and patients unable to read the instructions on a necessary medication.

The Literacy Council of Union County continues to ad-dress this basic need by train-ing volunteer tutors to provide one-on-one and small group tutoring for adults enrolled in our program. As the adults we serve gain the literacy skills they need to be better parents, workers, and commu-nity members, their individual lives are enhanced, and, as a result of their individual accomplishments, our commu-nity becomes richer as well.

As we celebrate International Literacy Day, we are proud of the adults who recognize their need for improved lit-eracy and commit to gaining those skills. Likewise we are grateful for the many volun-teers, including nearly 100 trained volunteer tutors, who are giving of their time and talents to overcome illiteracy.

The Literacy Council is a United Way of Central Carolinas member agency. We welcome inquiries about our program and currently require another 20 - 25 volunteer tutors to meet the needs of adults who have sought our services and are waiting for a tutor to become available. Our next series of tutor training work-shops will be held Tuesday, October 13; Friday, October 23;

and Saturday, October 24. More information is available on our website: www.literacyunion.org.

Unhappy with liberalsThis is for you if you are

dismayed with the direction our extreme left liberal lead-ers are taking America. It doesn’t matter which party you are affiliated with if this sentence applies to you. There is another choice before we as the people lose all our choices. This is in the form of an orga-nized third party called “The State Constitution Party.”

This State Constitution Party was organized in 1992 and is growing at a steady pace to be the third largest political party in terms of voter reg-istration. We are hosting an Informational Meeting on

Saturday, September 15th at Lake Park Community Center from 7 - 9 pm.

Once not so very long ago America had a strong two-party system that worked well within the boundaries of our so valued Constitution. It seems now that one party is very little different from the other with the exception of the extreme left, and this extreme left is taking our country in a very scary direction. It seems the rules of the Constitution of the United States does not apply to them and before we know it our conservative values are going to be Gone With the Wind if I may borrow the phrase.

I urge you, any of you who are questioning the right of the Federal Government to continue to ignore what we the people want and legislate into law what they person-ally have decided is best for us. We can turn the tide but not without good information, determination and a strong grassroots support system.

Ridiculous officialsNews reports of actions listed

below by our local governments sound ridiculous. These raise concerns on whether other deci-sions make sense for the benefit of the citizens of Union County.

First our Board of Com-missioners have decided to continue an old feud that had been resolved through inves-tigations by law enforcement and other officials – with no actionable findings. Now it is being opened again as an ethics issue on what sounds like a technicality. This would waste even more money with only a slim chance of any productive output. The commissioners could better use their efforts learning to work together on subjects to improve our commu-nity in these tough times rather than wasting time and money

Second is the Tonawanda park issue. As a county citizen it would make sense to send a letter of thanks to the city for maintaining this park for use by the community along with a gift of the land to the city. This might help pave the way for cooperation on other issues. As a city citizen I would not object to using our tax money to continue the maintenance of this park for public use as in the past. If the county objects to this we may need to move playground equipment, but building a separating fence seems to be a waste of money.

And last, parking accom-modations for the county in city owned lots is a separate issue and should be handled on its own. It appears that what we have is working or if there are problems they should be addressed separately from the park issue. One has to wonder what parking plan was included in the construc-tion of the county facilities.

Central Carolinas annual campaign.

Most clients at Crisis Assistance are between the ages of 35 and 60, Barrino said; many of them work but don’t earn enough to make ends meet. Others were re-cently laid off and need temporary relief until they receive unemploy-ment or find another job. Some clients are elderly and need a little help un-til the next Social Secu-rity check comes.

The donations the church is collecting come at a time when food pan-tries are stocking up for winter. Tradition-ally, Barrino said, winter forces people to choose between eating and pay-ing the heating bill. Donations to Crisis As-sistance will go toward families that still have some leftover income and don’t yet qualify for food

stamps.Donations to Loaves

and Fishes will feed hun-dreds of residents across the county. It’s not even the busiest time of year, Barrino said.

While winter brings in more work for emer-gency agencies, she said, it is also the slowest time for some companies that have to cut back on work-ers’ hours, adding to overall need.

Even former donors are not immune to the re-cession.

“Some of them who were giving to us are coming to us now,” Bar-rino said. “The needs are so great, no one agency can meet them all.”

Of her 20 years work-ing in crisis intervention, she said, this year is by far one of the toughest.

Crisis Assistance en-courages economic in-dependence, offering a financial mentoring pro-gram and temporarily bridging the gap when residents fall short on

their bills. Money goes straight to bill collectors, not individuals. Individ-uals can qualify for assis-tance only once a year.

The greatest service her agency can offer, Barrino said, is pointing people in the right direc-tion. Crisis Assistance has given 4,102 referrals to other agencies this year, up from 3,405 last year. Loaves and Fishes is one of those agencies when Crisis Assistance runs out of food.

According to Loaves and Fishes expense re-cords, the food pantry spent $47,364 on pur-chased food between May 2007 and April 2008, and received another $33,466 worth of food from dona-tions. This fiscal year, it has spent $74,752 on food, with another $63,975

worth of contributions.Loaves and Fishes Vice

President Ronnie Cutler said the food pantry re-ceives donations from in-dividuals, churches and grants. People referred can use the food pantry three times a year; each visit includes food that will last the average fam-ily 10 to 14 days.

Donations will be ac-cepted until Sept. 30 and can be dropped off be-tween 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to noon on Satur-days and noon to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Monetary donations are welcome.

The church is located at 302 E. Windsor St. in Monroe.

States scramble to change EOG rulesTo qualify for $4 billion in aid, schools must link test scores to teacher evaluations

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Three cash-strapped states may find them-selves left at the starting line in the competition for more than $4 billion in ed-ucation stimulus funding if they don’t amend laws that prevent student test results from being tied to teacher evaluations.

That requirement is a cornerstone of Obama’s education reform efforts

and has set off a rush to change the laws be-fore time runs out on the funds. Obama believes so strongly that teachers are key to fixing schools and helping kids learn that he refuses to dole out the stimulus dollars if states don’t heed his wishes.

California, Wisconsin and Nevada have laws that ban tying test scores to teacher reviews. While

California and Wisconsin lawmakers are scrambling to lift the ban, Nevada may not be able to remove its restriction in time; its Legislature won’t be back in session until 2011. New York also bars test scores from being a factor in teacher tenure, but this restriction is more nar-row and not expected to hurt the state’s chances to receive the funds un-

der Obama’s “Race to the Top” program.

The administration hopes the program will improve student achieve-ment, boost the per-formance of minority students, who lag their white peers, and raise graduation rates. Teach-ers unions have long op-posed linking test scores with evaluations and teacher pay because they

believe it’s unfair to judge a teacher’s performance on a single test. They also note the tests can be flawed, don’t test every subject, and that many students learn from more than one teacher.

“I don’t think the best approach in teacher eval-uation comes from stu-dents’ test scores,” said Dave Harswick, a high school history teacher and

union leader in Green Bay, Wis. “It can be part of the picture, but it shouldn’t be the whole picture.”

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said state laws that prohibit linking student test scores and teacher evaluations are “simply ridiculous.” He says good teaching ought to be rewarded and that test results are a mea-sure of progress.

Space shuttle to land todayCAPE CANAVERAL,

Fla. (AP) — Shuttle Discovery’s astronauts aimed for a Thursday evening landing to wrap up their successful space station delivery mission, but late summer storms threatened to keep them up an extra day or two.

Mission Control said Wednesday that “the weather will pose a chal-lenge” for bringing Dis-covery home. The fore-

cast called for a chance of thunderstorms. Con-ditions were expected to worsen Friday and re-main poor Saturday.

“The weather in Flor-ida this time of year is always a little iffy,” Dis-covery’s commander, Rick Sturckow, said from orbit. “If things aren’t good, the worst that can come out of it is that we have another day in space, which is a great

deal.”In orbit since Aug. 29,

Discovery has enough supplies to last until Sunday. If the shuttle cannot return to Florida on Thursday, NASA will consider landing it in California, but not until Friday at the earliest.

Astronaut Timothy Ko-pra is headed home after nearly two months at the international space sta-tion. He said the flight

wasn’t too long by any stretch.

He should have spent an extra month at the outpost, but his ride up ended up being delayed because of shuttle prob-lems.

Buzz Lightyear, by com-parison, spent 15 months aboard the space station. The 12-inch action figure rocketed into “infinity and beyond” aboard Dis-covery in May 2008.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge said gray wolf hunts can go on for the first time in decades in the Northern Rockies, just months after the animals were removed from the endangered spe-cies list.

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy denied a request by environmen-talists and animal welfare groups to stop the hunts in Idaho and Montana, saying plans to kill more than 20 percent of the es-timated 1,350 wolves in the two states would not cause long-term harm to the species.

The wolf population could sustain a hunting harvest in excess of 30 percent and still bounce back, Molloy said in his written ruling issued late Tuesday.

The ruling left unre-solved the broader ques-tion of whether wolves should be returned to the endangered list.

However, Molloy said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appeared to have violated the Endangered Species Act when it carved Wyoming out of its deci-sion to lift protections in May for wolves elsewhere in the region.

The Enquirer-Journal Thursday, September 10, 2009 / 7A

Q&AContinued from 1A

government to spur the slumping economy, which some worry could even-tually lead to inflation. As inflation grows, the value of the dollar could shrink.

Q: Is the price of gold going to continue ris-ing?

A: Analysts are still mixed about where gold might head.

James DiGeorgia, pub-lisher of the newsletter Gold and Energy Advisor, said prices could reach as high as $1,200 an ounce by the end of the year. However, James Steel, an analyst with HSBC, noted that the last few times gold has neared or eclipsed the

$1,000 barrier, it quickly retreated.

Q: Could the price of gold affect any poten-tial economic recovery?

A: Jon Nadler, a senior analyst at Kitco Metals Inc. in Montreal, said that is unlikely. Because gold is used more in luxury goods and not a necessity like other commodities such as oil, it is unlikely to propel or drag the econ-omy as it tries to shake the ongoing recession.

Q: What do rising gold prices mean for customers who buy jew-elry and other products made from gold?

A: Quite simply, it means prices are likely to continue to rise. Tues-day’s rise might not cause an increase in prices overnight, but as prices continue to move higher,

that added cost is passed along to shoppers who buy things like gold rings and necklaces.

Q: Has the recent rise in gold prices affected business already?

A: Absolutely.Ernest Perry, whose

business Perry’s at South-Park in Charlotte, N.C., specializes in antique and estate jewelry, said

retail sales fell 8 percent during his fiscal year end-ing Aug. 31. Perry said he was surprised business wasn’t even lower in the past year because of the rising prices.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shaking off a summer of setbacks, President Ba-rack Obama summoned Congress to enact sweep-ing health care legisla-tion Wednesday night, declaring the “time for bickering is over” and the moment has arrived to protect millions who have unreliable insurance or no coverage at all.

Obama said the changes

he has in mind would cost about $900 billion over de-cade, “less than we have spent on the Iraq and Af-ghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Ameri-cans” passed during the Bush administration.

In a speech to a joint ses-sion of Congress, Obama supported an option for the federal government to sell insurance in competi-

tion with private industry. But he said he was open to alternatives that create choices for consumers — a declaration sure to dis-please liberal supporters.

Obama’s speech came as the president and his allies in Congress read-ied an autumn campaign to enact his top domestic priority. While Democrats command strong majori-ties in both the House and

Senate, neither chamber has acted on Obama’s top domestic priority, miss-ing numerous deadlines leaders had set.

In a fresh sign of ur-gency, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., announced that his Senate Finance Com-mittee would meet in two weeks to begin drafting legislation, whether or not a handful of Demo-crats and Republicans

have come to an agree-ment. The panel is the last of five to act in Congress, and while the outcome is uncertain, it is the only one where bipartisanship has flourished.

Obama said there is widespread agreement on about 80 percent of what must be included in legis-lation. Any yet, criticizing Republicans without say-ing so, he added: “Instead

of honest debate, we have seen scare tactics” and ideological warfare that offers no hope for com-promise.

“Well, the time for bick-ering is over,” he said. “The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action.”

“I am not the first presi-dent to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last,” he added.

NATION BRIEFSFROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. death toll at 4,343 in Iraq

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As of Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, at least 4,343 mem-bers of the U.S. military had died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003, according to an As-sociated Press count.

The figure includes nine military civilians killed in action. At least 3,469 military personnel died as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers.

The AP count is one more than the Defense Department’s tally, last updated Wednesday at 10 a.m. EDT.

The British military has reported 179 deaths; Italy, 33; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 21; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, seven; El Salvador, five; Slovakia, four; Latvia and Georgia, three each; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand and Romania, two each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan and South Korea, one death each.

Gay union leaders drop court fight

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Supporters of Washing-ton state’s most recent expansion of domestic partnership rights say

they’re dropping efforts to block a public vote on the new law.

Washington Families Standing Together chair-woman Anne Levinson says the group is now going to focus on a cam-paign to ensure that the law is retained.

On Tuesday, a Thurston County judge rejected the group’s argument that state officials improp-erly accepted thousands of petition signatures in support of putting Refer-endum 71 on the ballot.

The referendum puts the Legislature’s latest expansion of domestic partnership rights for gay couples on the No-vember ballot. A “yes” vote would approve the new law, and a “no” vote would reject it.

Wedding chapels packed on 9-9-09

LAS VEGAS — Two years after Las Vegas chapels hit the wedding date jackpot with lucky sevens, it’s all eyes on the nines for 9-9-09.

Wedding officials in Sin City and elsewhere staged a marathon set of nuptials and vow renew-als on Wednesday during what was anticipated to be of the busiest days of the year — the quirky

date of Sept. 9, 2009, or 9-9-09.

The New York City Clerk’s office said 200 couples had wed by mid-day at its refurbished marriage bureau — about four times the Wednesday average. Nine couples in Hollywood spent 99 cents each to get married at a 99 Cents Only store on Sunset Boulevard.

Jessica Skrutvold of Las Vegas said she and her husband-to-be Chad Lyons were expecting nine guests for their 9 p.m. wedding, which co-incidentally celebrates her favorite number.

“The easiest day for my poor memory to re-member was 9-9-09, and we’ve been doing every-thing last-minute ever since,” said the 31-year-old who works for a local insurance agency. “It was easy, and both of us can remember it and never forget.”

Skrutvold called to book a chapel in March and found the only open slots were for 8:30 or 9 that night.

“We took the most obvi-ous choice,” she said.

Baptist leadership vote moves ahead

WASHINGTON — A judge has decided against

halting the presidential election of the National Baptist Convention USA.

Wednesday’s decision came in a lawsuit filed by the former leader of the affiliation of black Bap-tist churches, the Rev. Henry J. Lyons of Tam-pa, Fla.

Lyons is running for the office after being im-prisoned for stealing mil-lions from the denomina-tion. His lawsuit claims that new bylaws on vot-ing for the president vio-late the denomination’s constitution.

Foreclosure rates level off in August

MIAMI — The num-ber of U.S. households threatened with losing their homes held steady last month, a sign that lenders’ efforts to help distressed borrowers may be having a gradual impact.

But one month does not make a trend.

More than 358,000 fore-closure-related filings were recorded in August, meaning one in 357 U.S. homes received a filing, RealtyTrac Inc. reported Thursday. That number, up 18 percent from a year ago, includes default no-tices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions.

Grass greener near memorial

WASHINGTON (AP) — Frustrated with poor maintenance by the feder-al government, the group that built the Vietnam War memorial is aiming to improve its little cor-ner of the National Mall by taking over lawn care for 13.5 acres marred by weeds, moss and brown spots.

Officials with the Viet-nam Veterans Memo-rial Fund said they were moved to act after read-ing an Associated Press investigative story on the lack of federal money for the mall, despite needed urgent repairs to the area known as “America’s front yard.”

The AP’s story in July analyzed congressional spending since 2005 and found the mall has been at a disadvantage in compet-ing for millions of dollars in extra funds doled out by lawmakers, compared with sites that are repre-sented by powerful mem-bers of Congress. The en-tire mall, covering some 650 acres, is in the District of Columbia, which has no vote in the House or Senate.

Lawmakers frequently direct money to projects

back home, but even as the problems became ob-vious at the National Mall — including the seawall visibly sinking in front of Thomas Jefferson’s me-morial — Congress killed a bill last year that would have funded repairs. In January, lawmakers nixed $200 million in proposed stimulus funding.

The private Vietnam veterans group plans to spend $96,000 in the com-ing months to repair a broken irrigation system and provide weed treat-ment, fertilization, aera-tion and other work. The group, which is working with the National Park Service to make sure the improvements adhere to the agency’s specifica-tions, intends to continue maintaining the grass in the long term, Fund Presi-dent Jan C. Scruggs said.

Repairs to the irriga-tion system are scheduled to begin Thursday.

One prominent Viet-nam veteran, Texas busi-nessman Peter Holt, who owns the NBA’s San Anto-nio Spurs, remembers no-ticing problems when he spoke at a Memorial Day event at the monument this year.

Poll: Broad disapproval on health care52 percent say Obama has mishandled issue, but 8 in 10 want better health system

WASHINGTON (AP) — Public disapproval of President Barack Obama’s handling of health care has leaped to 52 percent, according to Associated Press-GfK poll that un-derscores the country’s glowering mood.

Just 42 percent approve of the president’s work on the high-profile health issue. The survey was re-leased Wednesday before his nationally televised effort to persuade Con-gress and voters to back his drive to reshape the

nation’s $2.5 trillion-a-year medical system.

Spotlighting how Obama lost ground this summer, his latest ap-proval figures on health were essentially reversed since July, when 50 per-cent approved of his health effort and just 43 percent disapproved.

The poll was taken over five days just before Obama’s speech to Con-gress. That speech reflect-ed Obama’s determina-tion to push ahead despite growing obstacles.

“I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan than to improve it,” Obama said Wednes-day night. “I won’t stand by while the special in-terests use the same old tactics to keep things ex-actly the way they are. If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we’ll call you out.”

The poll illustrates how difficult recent weeks have been for a president who, besides tackling health

care, has been battling to end a devastatingly deep recession. Fifty percent approve and 49 percent disapprove of the overall job he is doing as presi-dent, compared to July, when those approving his performance clearly outnumbered those who were unhappy with it, 55 percent to 42 percent.

The poll found that discontent with Obama’s health care effort is not isolated to Republicans. While nearly nine in 10 from the GOP disap-

proved of his handling of the issue, so did about six in 10 independents and two in 10 Democrats.

“How in the world can anybody look at this and evaluate it and see if it makes effective change?” Kelly Hoots, 35, a phar-macist and independent from Weaverville, N.C., said. “Who knows what’s in it?”

Further spotlighting the opposition Obama is encountering, 49 percent in the AP-GfK poll said they oppose the health

overhaul plans being con-sidered by Congress, com-pared to just 34 percent who favor them.

People are about evenly split over what lawmakers should do next on health care: About four in 10 say they should keep trying to pass a bill this year while about the same number say they should start over again.

Significantly, only about two in 10 say the health care system should be left as is, a positive sign for Obama.

MARVINWith only one senior on

the roster, the Marvin Ridge girls tennis team has not let youth become a hindrance, and have started the fall sea-son undefeated at 6-0.

In his first season as head coach, Michael Watson, who played collegiate tennis at Clemson University, feels fortunate that he has qual-ity athletes with a higher ceiling to grow throughout high school.

“We lost a few seniors last year, but we’re very fortu-nate, we’ve got a very deep team as far as talent,” Wat-son said. “We’re good this year and we’ll be good for years to come, which is ex-citing.”

The Mavericks have domi-nated the competition so far. In fact, they haven’t lost a set yet.

Their number one seed, hard-hitting junior Hannah Florian, leads Marvin Ridge.

“Hannah has really done a phenomenal job,” Watson said. “She’s obviously not a senior, but she’s certainly a leader playing in the num-

ber one spot.”Florian, Union County’s

player of the year as a fresh-man, began playing at the age of 8 when her family moved from Columbus, Ohio to North Carolina.

“I really like to hit it hard, but I’m working on being more consistent and just go-ing for my winners when I have the shot,” Florian said. “I’ve definitely been working on more top-spin and getting it in and waiting for the sure-fall to put it away.”

Florian has been im-pressed with how many young players on the team are excelling.

“I didn’t have the highest expectation, but everyone has stepped up and worked really hard over the sum-mer,” she said.

The Mavericks have been rotating through doubles partners, but Florian ap-pears to have developed chemistry with junior Mina-li Nigam — the second seed.

“I’m good at the net, but I’m not as aggressive so I don’t really poach at the net, because I get nervous,” Flo-rian said.

UNIONVILLEIn Nelson Garner’s return to

Piedmont High, the Cuthbert-son boys soccer team pulled out a 2-1 road win over the Panthers on Wednesday.

Garner coached the boys soc-cer team at Piedmont for three seasons before resigning to take the job at Cuthbertson over the summer.

“It was tough and very emo-tional because I was obviously very close to all the guys over there,” said Garner. “To beat them is bittersweet, but it was fun, nonetheless, to get back and see everybody.”

Matt Cureton scored on a penalty kick for the Cavaliers, who also got a goal from Josh Shomette on an assist by Jason Drain.

Cuthbertson, which improved

to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the Rocky River Conference, plays at home against West Stanly on Monday starting at 6:30 p.m.

Andon, Wright lead CATAIn Monroe, Johnny Andon

and John Wright each scored two goals to lead Central Acad-emy to an 8-4 home win over Berry Academy.

Brendan Duncan, Jose Bedol-la, John Helms-Brown and Bry-

ant Sonsire each had one goal for the Cougars.

Duncan, a junior, leads the team in scoring with seven goals while Andon ranks sec-ond with six goals. Both are juniors.

The win improved Central Academy to 2-4-1 overall and 2-2 in the Rocky River Conference.

CATA travels to Forest Hills on Monday in a 6 p.m. start.

WHO’S NEWSPanthers vote Peppers a captain

CHARLOTTE (AP) — His Carolina Panthers teammates insisted defensive end Julius Peppers’ offseason efforts to

leave town hadn’t affected his stand-ing in the locker room.

On Wednesday they proved it through the ballot box, voting Pep-pers a defensive team captain.

“It’s a tribute to what he has

done here. He’s been the face of the defense for what, eight years now,” said linebacker Jon Beason, voted the other defensive captain. “I think guys know that he’s a quiet leader, but he takes care of his job. I think looking at it, making him team captain is saying, ’Look, we expect you to play like that.”’

Peppers had a career-high 14 1/2 sacks last season in the final year of his contract. He soon pleaded with the Pan-thers to let him leave in free agency. He said he had “maxed out” in Carolina and wanted to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense.

The Panthers still placed the fran-chise tag on him, which included a one-year deal for an NFL-high $16.7 million. After skipping all offseason workouts, Peppers finally signed the tender.

He showed up to training camp on time and hasn’t missed a practice

Grizzlies reachdeal with Iverson

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Grizzlies admitted Wednesday that they have agreed in principle to a contract with

Allen Iverson, hours after the guard tweeted that he was heading to Memphis.

The 34-year-old free agent tweeted earlier Wednesday that “God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my

career.” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that the team had agreed in principle to a contract with Iverson, and the team scheduled a Thursday news conference open to the public at FedExForum.

“We anticipate signing him to a contract very soon,” Wallace said.

Iverson’s agent, Leon Rose, did not respond to messages to his cell, office or from e-mail from The Associated Press.

Iverson also said he met with Griz-zlies owner Michael Heisley, G.M. Chris Wallace and coach Lionel Hollins. That meeting took place Monday in Atlanta.

“I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them,” Iverson added on his Twitter account.

West Stanly gets byJackets in five sets

MARSHVILLE — West Stanly rallied to win the last two sets in a 3-2 road win over Forest Hills’ volleyball team

on Wednesday.West won the

match 25-23, 20-25, 24-26, 27-25 and 15-5.

Madison Sholar had a team-high six kills for FH and also added two aces and four digs.

The Jackets’ Coree Coley had three kills and two blocks while Jennifer Jackson added three kills and a block.

Natalie High contributed three kills, an ace and seven digs and teammate Nicole Helms had three kills, one ace and seven digs.

Forest Hills is now 3-4 in the Rocky River Conference heading into Mon-day’s match at Central Academy.

Junior Hannah Florian, Marvin Ridge’s No. 1 player, has been impressed with the less experienced players on the team.

Piedmont improves to 9-1 with straight-set victory

After being ranked fourth in Union County out of 11 teams in The Enquirer-Journal’s preseason prep football poll, Monroe High catapulted to No. 1 after ripping Parkwood 55-21 in Week 2.

The Redhawks retained their sta-tus as No. 1 in the county after last week’s 54-0 home win over Mount Pleasant, and Monroe could re-main perched their for a while.

Coaches don’t like to look ahead on the schedule, but we do, and based on what we’ve seen thus far, Monroe will be favored to win its next seven games.

Two of their next seven oppo-nents might have a chance to beat Monroe on a good day — Piedmont (in Week 5) and Berry Academy (in Week 11), but barring anything

UA rallies for tieIn Monroe, Union Academy’s Na-

thaniel Peralta scored his second goal of the match with two minutes left in overtime to secure a 3-all tie with North Stanly.

Peralta’s overtime goal was assist-ed by Jonathon Aiken. Peralta also scored the first goal of the match off an Ethan Daly assist.

Kyle Lohn also scored the Cardi-nals, getting an assist from Cody Lloyd.

Union Academy, now 2-1-1 on the season, plays at Monroe on Monday starting at 6:30 p.m.

Mavs top Ragin’ BullsIn Marvin, the Mavericks scored two

first-half goals and hung on for a 2-0 win over Hickory Ridge.

Matt Risher headed in a corner kick from Garrett Condon midway through the half, and four minutes later, Con-don punched it in off passes by Cullen Kelleher and Risher.

“We came out and set the tone early on, and then second half, both teams just kind of went through the motions,” said Marvin Ridge coach Ray Fumo. “We had a couple breakaways we mis-fired on and Hickory Ridge missed a penalty kick, so if either of those things go the other way, then it could have been a totally different match.”

Danny Cooper had the shutout in goal for the Mavericks (4-2-1).

Marvin Ridge was scheduled to

play Cuthbertson on Tuesday, but the match has been postponed, according to Fumo.

The Mavs will return to action a week from today at home against Prov-idence Day starting at 6:30 p.m.

Redhawks whip archrivalIn Marshville, Fernando Estevez

scored twice to lead Monroe to a 5-2 road win over Forest Hills.

David Ortiz, Carlos Estrada and Ar-nolfo Marban also scored for the Red-hawks (3-2, 2-1 RRC).

Marban, Miles Miller, Daniel Corne-jo, Eric Acosta and David Garcia added assists for Monroe.

Rafael Martinez had four saves in goal for MHS, which is back in action on Monday at home against Union Academy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mela-nie Oudin’s magical U.S. Open is over.

Even the comeback kid couldn’t overturn this defi-cit.

Showing signs of shaki-ness in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, the 17-year-old Oudin got off to a slow start against No. 9-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and never really recovered, los-ing 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday night.

“This has been a great ex-perience for me. I had a great run here,” the 70th-ranked Oudin told the crowd of 23,881 during an on-court in-terview right after the match, an honor usually reserved for the winner. “I hope to come back next year and do even better.”

It’ll be hard to top her 2009 U.S. Open.

She upset four more estab-lished players — including three-time major champion Maria Sharapova and Beijing Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva — to become the youngest quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since Ser-ena Williams in 1999.

Making the story even better: Oudin’s last three victories each came after drop-ping the first set. But Wednesday’s start was quite inauspi-cious: She lost 14 of the first 18 points un-der the bright lights in the big city.

With “BELIEVE” stamped in all capital letters on the heels of her pink-and-yellow sneakers — and, up in the player guest box, her twin sister and coach wearing

black T-shirts bearing that word, too — the 5-foot-6 Ou-din certainly never gave up.

Her groundstrokes let her down, though.

Oudin made 43 unforced er-rors, 23 more than Wozniacki. A relative veteran by com-

parison, the 19-year-old Wozniacki leads the women’s tour in match victories this season.

“I’m sorry that I won against Melanie today,” Wozniacki told the partisan fans, some of whom cheered when she double-faulted. “I

know that many of you want-ed Melanie to win.”

Now the Dane will play her first Grand Slam semifinal against another 19-year-old, Yanina Wickmayer of Bel-

gium. The 50th-ranked Wick-mayer — never before past the second round at a major tournament — beat Katery-na Bondarenko of Ukraine 7-5, 6-4.

The other women’s semi-final Friday features two far more familiar names: defending champion Serena Williams against 2005 cham-pion Kim Clijsters.

Never intimidated by the hostile crowd, Wozniacki was backed by her own cheering section of about 15 strong. Their applause and yells of encouragement were quite audible in a most-ly empty Arthur Ashe Sta-dium as Oudin’s error count mounted in the early going. It took less than 10 minutes for Wozniacki to seize a 3-0 lead, cleverly constructing points.

Oudin’s run ends in quarters

RedhawksContinued from Page 1B

unusual, the Redhawks should be 10-0 when they play Forest Hills at home on Nov. 6 in what will likely be for the Rocky River Conference title.

Forest Hills was crowned as the best team in Union County last season after winning 11 games and reaching the state semifinals in the 2-AA play-offs.

With most of their skill position players back, the Yellow Jackets are actually playing better now than they were at this time last season. They have lost games to Anson County and Pageland Central by an average of five points this year. Those same two teams beat Forest Hills by an average of 28 points in 2008.

Berry is new to the conference and has won its first two games. It’s too early to say whether the Cardinals will contend in the league, but we’ll have a much better idea after they host the Jackets on Friday.

Monroe and Forest Hills are among the county’s best teams, and Marvin Ridge has to be thrown in the same pile.

The Mavericks play great defense, and their inex-perienced offense (only three starters back) seems to be finding its rhythm.

Off to a 3-0 start, Marvin Ridge should get a high-er playoff seed this season. The Mavs, who finished 7-6 last season, and Forest Hills were the only teams in the county to win a playoff game in 2008.

With 14 juniors and two sophomores starting, the Mavs should be even better in 2010 — especial-ly with two major college prospects in that senior class in receiver KJ Brent and linebacker Vinnie Sunseri.

Sun Valley has started off well, perhaps even better than expected, and has to be considered a sleeper in the Southern Carolina Conference at this point.

Parkwood is also a contender for the SCC, a first-year league that is made up of five Union County schools and Anson.

The Rebels must get over the psychological hump of the 34-point home loss to Monroe, but with a big senior class, they should have enough leadership to stay on track.

Weddington already has two more wins than a year ago, and the 2-1 Warriors have positioned themselves to make a run at a postseason berth.

TennisContinued from Page 1B

“Minali has been really good at setting me up so I can go for the poach, and she’s really good at the net too, so when I hit a deep ball she can get up and poach the ball.”

Nigam admits that singles match-es can be stressful, but that doubles matches require a lot more strategy than just trying to out-hit your op-ponent.

“You have to col-laborate and work with your opponent,” Nigam said.

Nigam hopes to work on defeating her mental block against certain oppo-nents throughout the season.

“For me, it’s just trying to get through the tough points, how to win crucial points,” Nigam said. “So trying to improve my mental game.”

Sophomore Danielle David has been making an impact as the num-ber three seed for the Mavericks.

“My first year we had six seniors on the team and they kind of ruled it I guess, they were the leaders,” David said. “I was number six last year and this year moving up three spots, it’s a big leadership switch this year.”

As well as the number one through three seeds, Florian, Nigam and Da-vid are the three captains for the Mavericks, as voted upon by their teammates.

“When you have that type of lead-ership at your one, two and three it makes a big difference because we’re so young,” Watson said. “We’re a

full, young team.”Watson is especially excited for

one of his youngest players and her opportunity to grow through Mar-vin Ridge’s program — freshman fifth seed Mariel Emery.

“Starting off, I thought she was very mature for just a freshman as far as in matches,” Watson said. “She was nervous the first match, but then every single match you can tell she had gotten more com-fortable playing, just because as a freshman you’re new to the whole high school scene as far as tennis goes.”

Emery, who feels her serve is her strongest part of her game, has shared time at the number one doubles with Florian. They teamed to beat Cuthbertson High, 8-3. The Cavs are led by two talented sisters – Kalli and McKenna Karas.

“I knew there was an opportunity for me to be competitive and [start in the top six], it was just a matter of me taking it upon myself to get to where I want to be,” Emery said.

The Mavericks stayed unbeaten with a 9-0 home win over Sun Val-ley on Wednesday, even though their top four seeds sat out.

To win the Southern Carolina 3A/4A Conference, the Mavericks will have to go through Wedding-ton.

The two teams meet on Sept. 21.“They’re good,” Watson firm-

ly said about the Warriors. “I’ve watched them play already; they’re deep like we are. They’ve got a strong one and two just like we do, and they’re going to be tough. We’re going to have to play hard to com-pete.”

While Weddington awaits, the Mavericks will travel to face Char-lotte Latin on Tuesday, and Park-wood the following day.

Healthier Panthers feel good heading into openerCHARLOTTE (AP) — Caro-

lina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart had just par-ticipated in his first practice in nearly a month and his ninth in 49 workouts since the spring when fullback Brad Hoover playfully pounced.

“I just told them we’re happy to have you back,” Hoover told Stewart while pointing at re-porters, “and not eating cake on the sidelines.”

Jokes were aplenty in the Panthers locker room Wednes-day. Stewart, their No. 2 back, had returned from a left Achil-les’ tendon injury on the same

day middle linebacker and de-fensive leader Jon Beason prac-ticed for the first time since spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Aug. 22.

Suddenly a dreary, winless preseason had given way to op-timism four days before Caroli-na opens against Philadelphia. Minus safety Chris Harris, who was limited with a leg injury, the Panthers had all their key players practicing together for the first time in a month.

“They both looked really good,” coach John Fox said of Beason and Stewart. “They

were good to finally have back. That was the plan, and I thought they had a good day’s work.”

Beason, who was injured in the second exhibition game against Miami, said he spent countless hours rehabbing. It included about 10 hours a day hooked up to a new-age stim machine, which helped in-crease blood flow to the knee and strengthen muscles around it.

“It finds what muscle along the lines of the injury is not fir-ing,” Beason said. “Then it forc-es all the other muscles to work harder so that that muscle has

less strain on it.”With Donovan McNabb and a

healthy Brian Westbrook com-ing to Bank of America Sta-dium on Sunday, the Panthers need Beason. He led Carolina in tackles in each of the past two seasons and was voted to his first Pro Bowl last year.

“When you don’t have your leader on the defense, which is your mike linebacker, then you have Diggsy banged up and Thomas Davis banged up, that’s the second level of your defense,” defensive tackle Da-mione Lewis said.

“Those guys are your do-

alls, they cover you up when you mess up in the run gaps and they also help the second-ary with underneath stuff. That’s the meat and potatoes on your defense, the linebacking corps.”

Lewis said he expects Nick Hayden to start at the other tackle position vacated when Maake Kemoeatu was lost to a season-ending torn Achil-les’ tendon. The other options are Louis Leonard, acquired from Cleveland last week, and Ra’Shon Harris, claimed off waivers Sunday from Pitts-burgh.

Clemson’s Spiller, Jackets’ Dwyer highlight primetime matchupATLANTA (AP) — Jonathan

Dwyer wishes he was a little more agile, like Clemson’s C.J. Spiller.

“When he has the ball in his hands, you better keep your eyes open because he might be down the field if you make one blink,” Dwyer said. “Any time he touches the ball, it’s going to be a show.”

Not that Dwyer is any slouch himself.

Georgia Tech’s junior run-ning back is the reigning At-

lantic Coast Conference player of the year, and he broke off a 74-yard touchdown run the first time he touched the ball this season.

Both Dwyer and Spiller are likely to put on quite a show when the No. 15 Yellow Jack-ets (1-0) host the Tigers (1-0) on Thursday night in the ACC opener for both schools.

Spiller had one of the best games of his career against Georgia Tech as a freshman in 2006, becoming the only player

in Clemson history to have a 50-yard touchdown run AND a 50-yard scoring catch in the same game. Most remember the pass play, which was nothing more than a short throw he turned into something special. Spiller made two guys miss along the sideline and scampered all the way to the end zone, sparking the Tigers to a 31-7 victory.

“We just had a simple curl play called,” coach Dabo Swin-ney recalled. “It should have been a tackle for no gain. We’ve

all seen the film many times. He just does what he does. He peeked the corner, made anoth-er guy miss and ran away from everybody.”

Dwyer led the ACC in rushing with 1,395 yards. Spiller led the ACC in all-purpose yards (1,770), which included 629 yards on the ground while sharing playing time with James Davis.

This year, Spiller has the job all to himself. He should be fresh against the Yellow Jackets, car-rying the ball only four times in

a 37-14 victory over Middle Ten-nessee last Saturday.

Georgia Tech also was able to rest most of its starters in the second half of a 37-17 victory over Jacksonville State.

Dwyer said he won’t be paying much attention to his counter-part in the Clemson backfield.

“I’ve never really done that before, so I won’t start doing it now,” the Georgia Tech runner said. “But it’s a big game. Who wouldn’t want to have some big numbers?”

Encourage your children to read the newspaper.

DEAR ABBY: At the age of 72, having had two spouses over the years, I need to put in my two cents regarding the letter from “Still Hot and Bothered in Geor-gia” (July 8). I have learned that some women won’t say “no!” to a husband’s amorous advances, especially in the morning. But they will try to distract him by scrubbing the tub, spotting a spider on the wall, feeding the cat or saying she forgot to fold the laundry and has to do it be-fore it wrinkles. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, they do it to cool their husbands off on a “hot” morning.

“Still Hot and Bothered” may need to give some thought to what turns his wife on or off — especially the timing. After all, we are from Mars and they are from Venus. — ALEX IN BLUE BELL, PA.

DEAR ALEX: I agree that timing is important. My office

was showered with responses from readers who were steamed over my response to that letter. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: The guys and I enjoy reading your column out loud to see if we agree or not with your advice. We were unanimous in our disagree-ment with your advice to “Still Hot and Bothered.”

We would have been torqued if our wife had stayed in the shower to clean it instead of coming to bed for a good romp. We also would have showered

with our wife to start the fes-tivities early and then moved to the bedroom.

Several of the guys said they’d have gotten into the shower and made the cleaning come to a halt. There’s a time for clean-ing, and it’s not when your hus-band is waiting with his motor running. — THE GUYS IN THE ELECTRIC LAB, HAR-RISONBURG, VA.

DEAR ABBY: I’m not against spontaneous cleaning (I do it myself), but the fact that the wife would rather clean than spend time with her husband tells me she’s either unable to read his signals or she just doesn’t care to be close and in-timate with him. It also shows a lack of judgment, compassion and understanding on her part.

If the situation were reversed and he had decided he’d rather watch sports than be with his wife, I’m sure she would have

been equally upset. I don’t think the rules should be differ-ent for men and women in this regard. And yes, I am a woman. — HEATHER IN KANKA-KEE, ILL.

DEAR ABBY: It appears that these days couples never have time for each other. Instead, they have their “individual” priorities before their “mar-ried” priorities.

When you compare the life expectancy of women vs. men, that woman will probably have years to clean the shower by herself without worrying about her mate. — KEN IN SULPHUR, LA.

DEAR ABBY: Men just don’t get it! Women don’t have on/off switches like men do. At-mosphere is very important for us. My husband enjoys “getting close” in the mornings, too — but I usually wake up with my to-do list running in my head. It

is very difficult for me to get in the mood when there’s work to be done.

Obviously, the wife in that let-ter wasn’t ready to play. Instead of getting upset, her husband should have gotten creative and helped to set her mood. — BRENDA IN FORT WORTH

Wives find ways to cool off hot husbands

Sept. 10, 2009Chances are you have a

valuable ally who has wanted to help you for a long time but never had the means. That op-portunity might present itself to your friend who, true to his or her word, will come through in the year ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even if returns aren’t lavish, your material gains should bring some satisfaction. Keep expectations within reason-able bounds, and you won’t be disappointed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s always smart to closely observe persons whose style and methods you admire. Not everything you learn will be easily adapted to your lifestyle, but much of it could.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Put yourself out to gain the confidence of someone whose support you need, and you might even gain a new friend in the process. Be patient, and don’t come on too strong.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — An old friend might go out on a limb and of-fer some sage advice. Accept it graciously — it could provide a brand-new perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you believe aggres-sion will achieve an important objective, it won’t. The gains will collapse the moment your back is turned. Apply your smarts to find success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Partaking in vigorous physical activity will get you out of that rut. Keep your body and mind busy, and you won’t have time to sulk.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something can be worked out to put an end to a negative situation that has been distressing you and your family. Implement this solution immediately; don’t endure another minute of frustration.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A change of venue or a change of routine could help

satisfy your curious, restless mind. Get out and mingle with friends who generally operate within your social sphere.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A couple of new ideas with regard to ways and means for adding income might cross your mind. Test them out to see if they would fit nicely into your field of operation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you’re feeling a bit rest-less, contact a few fun-loving friends to see if tagging along will provide a change of mood.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Someone you don’t know well might approach you to discuss an intimate situation. You’ll have the answers he or she needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Socializing with an intimate groups of friends will be more satisfying than mingling with the multitudes and merely being another face in the crowd. Spend your time with close pals.
