WHAT’S NEWS

Water to be tested for arsenic

MONROEUnion County’s groundwa-

ter will be tested for arsenic, and the results could affect where water pipes are laid.

Health Department direc-tor Phillip Tarte called it a “good public health study” that could show correlations between local diseases, especially Alzheimer’s, and water contaminants. Duke University will help with the two-year study.

Tarte said he hopes to find nothing wrong, but knows there are areas with arsenic up to 14 parts per bil-lion, a level

he called very high.If study results show

that water quality could be affected based on where pipes are laid, Tarte said he hopes to have that added as a consideration for how infrastructure is planned.

“We would love for (the study) to say there is no harm,” Tarte said. If the pub-lic health could be positively affected, however, “that could be part of the benefit. ... If we have the evidence, let that be another factor.”

The Health Department applied for, but was denied, a federal grant. The study is still in an infancy stage and surveyors will take samples in three-month intervals. Tarte said he has seen examples of arsenic levels dropping significantly just by running more water, something else he would like to investigate.

WINGATEA damaged water pipe

left about 2,000 Wingate residents without water for five to seven hours Tuesday and Wednesday.

N.C. Department of Transportation supervi-sor John Springer said the pipe was damaged Tues-day afternoon while DOT workers were replacing a drainage pipe on North Camden Street. A piece of asphalt fell out of an ex-cavator and onto a main water line.

Town administrator Dryw Blanchard said the pipe feeds several other lines and serves a large section of the northern half of town. The pipe was damaged twice more

in the process of repair-ing it. “Hopefully this is the last one,” he said, shortly after visiting the site Wednesday.

The pipe is located be-tween the Wingate Univer-sity’s football stadium and Batte Fine Arts Center.

University spokes-woman Jennifer Gaskins said the library and Batte Center were the only two buildings that campus ser-vices knew were without water for a short time, but all buildings had water by Wednesday afternoon.

The day care center at Wingate Baptist Church was closed all day be-cause of the problem and Wednesday night pro-grams at the church were canceled.

MARSHVILLEMarshville will wel-

come the approach of fall with its annual jamboree Saturday.

“It’s just a good coun-try festival,” said Kay Strawn, who helped orga-nize the annual Boll Wee-vil Jamboree, an annual

event in eastern Union County.

For the 13th year, resi-dents from all around Marshville will congre-gate downtown to listen to live music, purchase crafts and eat festival food in what Strawn called a “family oriented day of

fun and entertainment.”Music will start at 9

a.m. and bands will play until 10 p.m.; vendors, rides and entertainment will be available all day.

A car show will start at 9 a.m. Anyone who wants to show off a car, truck, motorcycle or tractor

should simply arrive at the show before it starts; no pre-registration is necessary.

The festival will cover the majority of Main Street. “You can’t miss it,” Strawn said.

MONROEThe right to tie on to

the Union County water system is poised for a big change.

Commissioner Tracy Kuehler said the Union

County Board of Com-missioners expect to pass a new policy that could take promised water sys-tem capacity away from projects that have stalled and give the water to projects that are “shovel-ready.”

The policy could pass as soon as this morning, but no later than Monday, Kuehler said.

The board majority has touted the new plan as a way to channel limited water resources to proj-ects that can use it im-

mediately. White Oak of Waxhaw nursing home, for example, received a building permit from the town and a verbal agree-ment from the county for water capacity, but later found out there was no water left. The county,

which has no native wa-ter source, has a contract for Catawba River water with a plant in Lancaster, S.C., and another contract for Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin water from Anson County.

MONROENine people are vying for

three Monroe City Council seats, matching the largest choice Monroe voters have had in a generation.

This year would have marked a record as 10 can-didates filed, but Lee Little withdrew from the race the week of Aug. 24. Nine can-didates matches the most of any municipal election year since 2001, and before that since at least 1983, the earliest that the Union County Board of Elections had on file at the office.

“It’s as many as I can ever remember,” said Vick-ie Deese, who works at the Board of Elections.

Current and former City Council members theo-rized that this year pres-ents a good opportunity for candidates because there will be only one in-cumbent, John Ashcraft, running for three open seats. Current City Coun-cil members P.E. Bazemore and Bob Smith are not run-ning this year.

“Not many people want to butt heads with an in-cumbent,” Phil Hargett, a former councilman, said.

Former Mayor Lewis Fisher said that a large number was not unprece-dented — eight ran in 2005 and seven in 2007 — but the open seats can be more attractive.

“Many times people see incumbents as having an insurmountable advan-tage,” he said.

Hargett and Fisher also suggested that people might have the desire to be part of shaping Monroe’s future during a crucial time for downtown and airport development.

A runway extension project that has economic development implications and a downtown redevel-opment project under way at the largest downtown building, as well as other economic and downtown projects in the works, could also be attracting residents who want to make sure plans are put in place that will shape Mon-roe’s future over the next four year.

MONROEThe holidays are a

time when many people make the season special for others, especially children. But Edmin Brown wants people and businesses to remember senior citizens in the community, too.

Brown, with Cotton Street Commons Apart-ments, is calling on busi-nesses and individuals for donations of gifts.

The 76 residents of the apartments are senior citizens or are disabled, and Brown said many have no family or their families have forgotten them. He said his goal is to have at least one gift for each person at the apartments.

The center will take anything a company has to offer, he said, and he encourages people to do-nate blankets, slippers,

books, toiletries, videos, puzzles and word search books.

Brown said gift cer-tificates from stores, restaurants and pharma-cies would be extremely helpful to the residents as well.

Workers from the apartment will present the gifts to the residents during a party Dec. 17. For information, call Brown at 704-291-2451.

Voters, please re-electMayor Lynda Paxton

I am publically supporting the reelection campaign of Lynda Paxton for Mayor of Stallings. I have worked with the Mayor re-garding a variety of subjects over the past several years. Lynda is passionate about her position and takes her fiduciary role seriously. She has served as mayor for the right reasons and not for person-al gain. It is a sad state of politics when Lynda is the exception and not the rule. She is open, honest and approachable. She listens, works hard to gather the neces-sary information, and makes decisions based on relevant infor-mation. I also want to thank Lyn-da for her hard work. She attends a multitude of council meetings, sub committees, “Coffee with the Mayor”, local HOA meetings, and the list goes on. She has given Stallings much time and effort and for that I am grateful. Lynda truly cares for what is best for Stallings and their citizens.

Anytime a politician makes a decision and takes a stance they create those supporters and per-haps enemies. Lynda carries a consistent way about her that makes me support her regardless of whether I agree with individ-ual decisions or not. Simply put, Lynda has integrity and I trust her to make decisions for what is in the best interest of Stallings as a whole.

Please take the time to go to the polls and vote for Lynda. Stall-ings is a small town where every vote, does indeed matter.

Reform will strengthen not harm insurance

Insurance reform will strengthen Medicare, give seniors more choices of doc-tors, and help each and every American. President Obama’s plans for reform will help se-niors because reform:

* ... will STRENGTHEN Medicare. Reform will im-prove Medicare’s quality of care by cutting down on pa-perwork, focusing on wellness and prevention, and reward-ing doctors for the care they provide instead of how many procedures they do. This all adds up to more choices and better care.

* ... will NOT cut Medicare benefits. President Obama has clearly said, “nobody is talk-ing about cutting Medicare benefits.” And AARP agrees that reform will simply elimi-nate billions in giveaways via the Medicare Advantage pro-gram that boost insurance company profits—but don’t help seniors.

* ... will SAVE money. Re-form will close the doughnut hole in Medicare Part D that’s costing people so much money for prescription drugs, and eliminate co-pays for preven-tative care like cancer screen-ings and immunizations.

* ... will SAVE Medicare in the long run. If we do nothing, costs will keep rising and the Medicare trust fund will be at risk of going bust within a de-cade. Reform will save Medi-care from bankruptcy and en-sure seniors get the care they need for years to come.

* ... will HELP our loved ones. Reform will extend cov-erage for young people, stop insurance companies from charging women more or cut-ting care when you need it most. And reform will make it illegal to deny coverage be-cause of a pre-existing condi-tion.

Murder of prenant women is epidemic

I am furious. It is becom-ing an epidemic that pregnant women are being murdered in N.C.

“The unborn victims of vio-lence bill”( Best defined as when an offender knowingly murders a pregnant victim, they will be charged with two counts of mur-der versus one count as is now NC law,) has been introduced to the legislature for the past 10 years, and the leadership of the N.C. House still refuse to allow a vote to take place, by letting this very important legislation continue to die in committee.

My heart goes out to the fami-ly of 15 year old Tiffany Wright of Charlotte, the most recent victim of premeditated murder at 8 months pregnant, Monday.

God willing her baby will sur-vive. Unfortunately, if the baby dies as a result of this horrific crime, NC law says that only one crime of murder took place.

I strongly disagree! Two crimes were committed.

Jeff gerBer Unionville

By REID PHIFERGuest columnist

(Excepted from his recent Tea Party speech.)

It is my understanding, there is to be an ethics probe of the previous Union County Board of Commissioners. Eth-ics is not a word people associ-ate with politicians and attor-neys very often. The existing board claims it will dip into its $489,000.00 general fund en-abling them to pay for this in-vestigation. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this $489,000.00 you as taxpayers keep in place for commissioners to spend as they please, or is there ac-countability to be considered? There is a statute in place, which allows a county to pay for legal protection of its com-missioners. This statute does not apply until there have been charges brought into existence. The problem I see here is no re-turn on money spent, stop and think, how is Union County taxpayers benefiting from this money going to attorneys? At-torneys again will be the ones in the win - win situation; they are at the bottom of a money

funnel, which keeps legal ac-tion moving your tax dollars in their direction.

Why do you as taxpaying cit-izens of Union County, not de-mand to know, what gain you will receive; from tax money being spent by elected county officials? In a short question you ask, county commission-ers, what return can I expect to see; from my tax money be-ing spent in attempt to prove unethical conduct by previ-ous board members? I believe this is fair question and each taxpaying citizen deserves a truthful answer.

Union County taxpayers now have another case pending in the NC Court of Appeals, filed by Mr. Thomas (Pinky) Marsh. Ladies and gentleman how this case moved into the Court of Appeals jurisdiction is far be-yond me.

The law has been written by The NC General Assembly in statute form and is listed as (GS 153A-340). Union County is totally disregarding this NC General Statute in attempt to impose their regulating au-thority. The reason Mr. Marsh never received a citation from

Union County is because they have no written law or regula-tion he’s broken. I think we all know if any legitimate law is broken, the offender shall receive a citation without de-lay, either that or be escorted to the county jail. This is the problem Union County has run into with Mr. Marsh; they have no law, rule, regulation, or ordinance in place he has violated. By definition under NC General Statute 153A-340 subdivision 3 of that subsec-tion. No county government has regulating authority over a bona fide farm; unless it pro-duces 600,000 lbs. of swine or more per year. This is writ-ten law established by the NC General Assembly to protect bonafide farms from county governing bodies attempting to dictate their regulating au-thority.

Taxpayers, Mr. Marsh’s case could make the Shalati lawsuit look minor. We have already put over $57,000.00 of our hard working taxpayers money into attorneys hands as of today, because of this unnecessary litigation. Ladies and gentle-man this is only the beginning

and $57,000.00 could be a very small amount as this legal dis-pute continues. Looks like an-other win - win situation for our county attorneys, coming at our taxpayer’s expense.

Reid Phifer has been an out-spoken supporter of the posi-tion Pinky Marsh has taken on agritourism and its regulation.

What will we get for our legal fees?

The Enquirer-JournalSince 1873, a heritage of commitment and involvement

Publisher: Marvin Enderle Managing Editor: Stan Hojnacki News Editor: Jim Muldrow

City Editor: Betsy O’Donovan

While laudable progress has been made over the last 17 years in reducing the state’s child death rate, challenges remain.

Nearly everything in the just-released N.C. Child Task Force annual report is upbeat. The 2008 child death rate is the lowest ever recorded.

Although 1,573 residents age 17 and younger died across the state, that’s still an 18 percent rate drop in the last de-cade. Put another way, had the initial 1991 rate still been in effect, an additional 800 children would have died state-wide last year.

Prenatal health care initiatives have helped reduce in-fant mortality. And young lives have been saved because of graduated licensing for teenage drivers, stricter child safety seat regulations and all-terrain vehicle laws that better protect young riders.

That kind of vigilance may be needed to focus attention on youngsters abusing easy-to-get prescription drugs.

The state report shows drug poisonings are up only slightly. However, a local counselor says about half of her adolescent and teenage clientele are using prescription drugs.

A 2008 Columbia University study cites a rising abuse curve, noting that some kids find it easier to get high by raiding the family medicine cabinet than buying beer.

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse warns that school grounds can be open-air drug markets with students trafficking in pills swiped from home. If they’re OK for grandma, they reason, they’re OK for us. However, abusing prescription drugs can lead to depen-dency and illness.

The first line of defense is parents better securing both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It’s no different from locking the liquor cabinet or hiding the car keys.

Given the state task force’s success in addressing other dangers, shining light on this problem before it gets out of hand should also produce results.

“I think it’s an indi-cation that there are a lot of interested people that want to serve the public,” Fisher said, cautioning that he hopes it’s not all about politics. “That’s one reason I got out. ... I hope you are doing this because you think you can contribute something unique to the city of Monroe.”

Monroe voters will vote for three candidates in the October general election, and, if neces-sary, in a November run-off. Early voting begins today and ends Oct. 3 in the Griffin Room of the Union County Public Library, 316 E. Windsor St. Voters can cast bal-lots on Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information on early vot-ing, contact the Union County Board of Elec-tions at 704-283-3809.

Here is a look at each of the candidates:

Richard AlexanderAt large, newcomerAge: 47Monroe resident:

Eight yearsOccupations/other

positions: Teacher for Anson County in the al-ternative program, works part time as a licensed real estate broker

Why running: “I think I’m well-rounded to be able to give Monroe the service to reach some of the goals that we’re try-ing to set for Monroe,” he said, adding that he has a background in pro-grams such as the Boys and Girls Club and has

also served on the Board of Adjustment, the Union County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and the Union County Educa-tion Foundation Steering Committee.

Top issue facing Mon-roe: “Lack of youth pro-grams and that we need to bring Boys and Girls Club into Monroe.”

Campaign funding: Personal contributions, friends and organizations such as the county Repub-lican Party.

Surluta Anthony At large, newcomerAge: 61Monroe resident: 61

yearsOccupations/other

positions: information not available

Top issue facing Mon-roe: information not available

Campaign funding: information not available

John AshcraftAt large, incumbentAge: 57Monroe resident: 57


positions: commercial real estate broker

Why running: “I en-joyed serving the first term, and there’s some projects that we got going on in the city that I’d like to see come to fruition,” he said, specifically men-tioning the expansion of the airport and the down-town master plan.

Top issue facing Monroe: “We’re going to have to come up with more innovative ways to make our neighbors feel more comfortable in their neighborhood. All our neighborhoods should be

safe.”Campaign funding:

Personal and local friend contributions

Joseph Clough At large, newcomerAge: 40Monroe resident: 15


positions: Deputy with Union County Sheriff ’s Office

Why running: “Over the next few years, coun-cil will be making deci-sions that directly affect the people of Monroe. I want to make sure the people’s best interest are put forward. I want to vote how the people want me to vote.”

Top issue facing Mon-roe: “The growth and ex-pansion and how we’re going to be able to accom-modate all the folks mov-ing here.”

Campaign funding: Personal funds

Bob Curry At large, newcomerAge: 64Monroe resident: 64


positions: registered rep-resentative with Synergy Investment group doing business as Curry and Associates (a full finan-cial service firm); former member Union County Board of Education, but voluntarily resigned be-cause of issues concern-ing a conflict of interest.

Why running: “I be-lieve there are a lot of pos-itive things taking place in Monroe — like the air-port expansion, the natu-ral gas line, etc. — and I want to be a part of that growth,” he said, adding that several people had asked him to run because they thought he would be “a positive, independent voice on the council.”

Top issue facing Mon-

roe: “The one people are most concerned about now is community polic-ing. I would like to see a survey done about com-munity policing. Com-munity policing may be a way of deterring crime and maintaining public safety.”

Why running: “I’ve been involved in a lot of ways in the community for quite some while,” he said, noting his time working with the city government with land development, city plan-ning and zoning. “I thought the timing was right. Two people I re-spected a lot were not running for re-election. That and my business experience and the tim-ing were all determining factors for me entering the race.”

Bengie Mullis At large, newcomerAge: 53Monroe resident: 53


positions: Retired police officer for the Monroe Po-lice Department.

Why running: “I served 31 years, and the city of Monroe was good to me. I want to give back to the community by serving on council as a way of repaying them for what they did for me

while I was a police offi-cer.”

Top issue facing Mon-roe: “Public safety in our neighborhoods. Public safety is my primary con-cern for all the citizens in their neighborhoods and where they live.”


Bonnie Rushing At large, newcomerAge: 64Monroe resident: Six

years Occupation/other po-

sitions: Retired teacherWhy running: “I am

running because I have a personal interest in being a server. When I realized there were going to be two of the council people retiring, I saw that as an opportunity. And I love Monroe,” she said, adding that she has a long family history in the town.

Top issue facing Mon-roe: “The need to focus on pre-kindergarten education for our chil-dren. Once we start early enough, we can find out what the needs are, and that will make all the difference in the world. Medicare for the older people and edu-care for the young ones.”

Blanchard said the original pipe was made from asbestos concrete — “a common pipe from years ago.” That kind of pipe is brittle, he said, and “typically will split

like pantyhose” when broken. It was replaced with PVC plastic.

Encourage your children to read the newspaper.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 58-year-old woman who has just been dumped by my 55-year-old boy-friend for a younger woman. She is 18, and if that isn’t bad enough -- she’s my daughter. They are now living together.

For more than a year we functioned as a family. We had regular game nights and took a family vacation togeth-er. Because of their betrayal, I have lost my daughter, my boyfriend, the two people I thought were also my best friends, and my family all at the same time. I don’t know anyone who has had this happen to them, but unfortu-nately there must be some out there.

How do I go on? How do I maintain a relationship with my daughter when she is liv-ing with my ex-boyfriend? How do I accept what has happened without approv-ing of it? There is so much

wrong with this I’m at a loss for rules or tools to handle it. -- IN CRUSHING PAIN IN OR-EGON

DEAR IN CRUSHING PAIN: There ARE no “rules.” And it does occasionally happen -- most famously with Mia Farrow, her adopted daughter and her longtime boyfriend Woody Allen. But I believe Ms. Farrow cut off all contact with both of them.

But enough about her. You are going to have to figure out what will work best for you. Your first step should be to

seek spiritual support. Some-times, with time, comes ac-ceptance. But right now, it is crucial that you take care of yourself.

***DEAR ABBY: I’m 19 and fi-

nally getting my life together. I have already experienced a lot emotionally and physical-ly. I have recently started on the path to sobriety, but there are two problems. In the city where I live there is nothing to do after 10 p.m. if you’re not a drunk. My friends from childhood not only do not sup-port me but tell me I should just have a drink.

I know you should keep yourself surrounded by peo-ple who will lift you up, but these people have been my close companions for many years, and I don’t think I can dismiss them that easily. Please help me. I like how my life is right now, and I need to

know how to stay focused. -- DRUNK OR SOBER? IN NEW YORK

DEAR D. OR S.?: If you want to hang onto your so-briety, you are going to have to fight for it. You got off on a wrong path very early, and so did your childhood friends. But now you have an opportu-nity to make new ones -- the members of your sobriety program. The more time you spend with them, the less time you will have to allow your-self to be seduced into falling off the wagon.

If you’re strong enough to do this, you can be a role mod-el for some of your old drink-ing buddies, and some may decide to join you. But if they don’t, you will have made new friends who have also made positive changes in their lives -- and that’s not a bad consola-tion prize.

***

DEAR ABBY: Please tell me your position on this. Are adult children supposed to take an aging mother with them on vacation? If not, what is a gentle way to say no when the parent invites herself ? Please help us. -- UNSURE IN OHIO

DEAR UNSURE: I think it depends upon the relation-ship between the mother and “child.” It also depends upon the purpose of the vacation. If a couple is going away to relax and bond more closely with each other, they do not need a third wheel -- regardless of how much they might love her. And the way to say that is, “We need some alone time, Mom. Please understand.”

igail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pau-line Phillips.

Mom devastated to learn other woman is daughter

Sept. 17, 2009

ASTRO-GRAPHBy Bernice Bede Osol

In the year ahead, you’re likely to profit from lessons suffered in the past that might have been particularly painful and difficult. The way things are shaping up, you’ll be happy you had these experiences.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do for yourself that which is usually done by others, and you’ll be amazed at how much personal gratification you can experience. Self-sufficiency has surprising rewards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Because you are a good bargain spotter, your ability to determine the value of prod-ucts or services you choose to use is exceptional. Don’t doubt yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Take a little time to study the possibility to achieve success in your latest undertaking. You are particularly good at determin-ing what measures should be

applied.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.

21) -- Don’t hide your visibility under a bushel with regard to career matters. Let both your supporters and foes know that you are prepared to meet and deal with any challenges thrown at you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There’s a strong prob-ability that you will learn about something you wish you hadn’t. Before the day is over, however, you will be glad you knew.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take a little time to explore secondary channels of income; your chart shows that you have an opportunity to gain from something not considered your primary source.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There’s a strong possibility that you could have to make a difficult decision that will affect many others as well as yourself. Listen to everyone so that all have an input.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even though you are likely to know that things could get tough from the start, you will

still be prepared to accomplish a significant, ambitious objec-tive -- and you’ll succeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- In order to improve your po-sition, it could prove to your advantage to take a calculated risk, especially if you think through the moves carefully. Be bold.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once you establish a course of action, be tenacious and con-sistent, especially if you know things could get tough along the way. There is every reason to believe you will be success-ful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Treat your commitments seri-ously by following through to the letter on all that you have promised. Once others see your word is your bond, they will hold you in high esteem forever after.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t discount even the strangest fi-nancial opportunities because you could find profit in the least expected places, even some that appear to be insignificant.

WaterContinued from Page 1A

Commissioner Allan Baucom suggested a dif-ferent solution for the problem.

“I think it’s problemat-ic that we as a board are considering going back on our word, our commit-ment to these projects,” he said. “We’ve got an existing policy that’s in place, that’s working, and I don’t see any reason to change it.”

In Baucom’s view, wa-ter capacity could be at-tained from new sources. He cited reworking a deal that would bring extra water from Lancaster County, S.C., to Union County. Baucom favors

giving shovel-ready proj-ects the capacity they need, but not at the ex-pense of projects that have already been prom-ised water.

“That’s the type of development we need,” he said, referring to the nursing home.

“And we have this with-in our reach, right now,” he said about the deal with Lancaster County. “It’s befuddling as to the rationale that’s being used to not move for-ward.”

The problem arose when developers were given verbal or written agreements for water ca-pacity.

When the housing market faltered, many of these projects were

delayed, but developers retained their promised water rights in hopes of resuming the projects. That left some projects with water capacity not moving forward, while others were ready to build, but could not get access to the county wa-ter system.

Establishing authority to revoke water alloca-tion permits gives the Board of Commissioners the power to give capac-ity and building approval to projects that are ready to build.

Kuehler said that call-ing this decision a “poli-cy” was technically inac-curate because it would not control water alloca-tion decisions going for-ward, only the allocations

already promised; still, without a better term, commissioners and staff refer to it as the revised policy.

One of the revisions would ensure residents will always be allowed to water their lawns, provided there are no drought conditions. Cur-rently, lawn watering could be revoked in order to increase capacity.

“We said, ‘No, we’re not going to take that from current residents,’” Kuehler said.

Also, new parameters will establish when water capacity may be revoked.

Doug Suddreth, vice president of development for White Oak of Waxhaw developer Autumn Corp., said he was “absolutely”

happy that the project could soon receive water. The nursing home has been under construction since April and Suddreth said workers will soon put in drywall. The com-pany hopes to receive a certificate of occupancy early next year. The nurs-

ing home will have 100 beds and have a residen-tial look to it.

Baucom still does not like the new policy and said this was a way for the board majority to impose a “no-growth policy.”

“They don’t say ‘no growth’ in words, they say ‘no growth’ in ac-tions,” he said.

The policy is available on the county Web site, co.union.nc.us. Commis-sioners will meet at 9 a.m. today to discuss and possibly pass the revised policy. The meeting will be at the Union County Government Center, 500 N. Main St.

— Jason deBruyn can be reached at (704) 261-2243 or [email protected].

They don’t say ‘no growth’ in words, they say ‘no growth’ in actions.”

— Commissioner Allan Baucom

BY JUSTIN MURDOCKE-J Sports Writer

MARVINThe Marvin Ridge High foot-

ball team has outscored its op-ponents 172-12 in its first four games, which includes shut-outs in its last two wins.

But Mavericks coach Scott Chadwick expects his team to get their first big test of the season tonight when they travel to 4A Ardrey Kell in a 7 p.m. start.

The 4A Knights enter with

just a 1-2 record on the year, but have three players on the roster who currently have at least one Division I scholar-ship offer.

“The thing that jumps out right away is they have some very impressive individual talent,” said Chadwick. “I don’t know that we’ll face an-other team like this all year.”

The three players with DI offers include tailback Justus Pickett (5-foot-10, 180 pounds), defensive end Price Shembo (6-2, 240) and tight end Drew Owens (6-5, 230).

Shembo is the most highly-recruited of the bunch. He’s verbally committed to Notre Dame and has other offers on the table from Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, N.C. State, Virginia and Wake Forest.

MARshVIlleThe Forest Hills

High boys soccer team couldn’t find an answer for Piedmont High’s Jonas Nader during Wednesday’s match.

Nadar, a senior for-ward, found the back of the net four times to lead the Panthers to an easy 5-0 victory over the Yellow Jackets.

Nader scored Piedmont’s first two goals of the game in the first half, including one off a corner kick and the oth-er off a pass from Mason Montgomery.

Montgomery, a senior, finished with three as-sists for the game.

The Panthers (3-4-1, 3-2 Rocky River Conference) went into halftime with a 3-0 lead after Tony Tar-ango scored in the final minutes of the period.

“Except for a few bone-

head mistakes that gave them goals, we played pretty even in the first half,” said Forest Hills coach Marq Ryan.

While that may have been the case, the sec-ond half was much dif-ferent.

Piedmont dominated the ball after the break,

pounding the goalie with ten shots on goal dur-ing the second 40 minutes. The Yel-low Jackets had just three shots on goal.

Nader complet-ed his hat trick midway through the second half with a goal off a

pass from Logan Polk.Montgomery and Na-

der hooked up one last time to end the game when Montgomery rock-eted a pass from near midfield on the left side to the right side of the goal, where Nader easily knocked the ball into the back of the net.See pANTHERS / Page 3B

WHO’S NEWSTar Heels to open with LSU in 2010

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU and North Carolina will meet in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game to open the

2010 season.The game will

be played Sept. 4 in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome and will be tele-

vised nationally on ESPN. It will be the first meeting between the schools since 1986, with LSU taking five of six in the series.

“This game will mean a great deal of exposure for our football program,” LSU head coach Les Miles said. “Atlanta is a great city and a place that has always treated us very well. We are looking forward to play-ing in this game to open the 2010 season.”

North Carolina was tentatively scheduled to open next season against William & Mary, but the school plans to move that game to Oct. 30. In addition, a September trip to South Carolina has been pushed back to open the 2013 season.

William & Mary says it is working to adjust its schedule for next season and accommodate the changes.

LSU announced several other changes to its future schedules. The Tigers added a home game against McNeese State on Oct. 16 and an-other home game against Northwest-ern State in 2011.

Ochocinco plans ‘Lambeau Leap’

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Atten-tion, Packers fans: Chad Ochocinco could be headed for a grandstand

near you.The Cincinnati

Bengals wide re-ceiver says he’ll do a celebratory “Lambeau Leap” into the end zone seats if he scores in Sun-day’s game at Lambeau Field.

“I’m looking for the Cheeseheads to embrace ’Ocho,”’ he said Wednesday on a conference call with reporters who cover the Packers.

Ochocinco recalled getting an “embrace” from Cleveland fans when he jumped into the Browns’ “Dawg Pound” fan section — perhaps blocking out the shower of beer and derision that also rained down on the outspoken receiver.

How would he be received by Pack-ers fans?

“I’m not sure,” Ochocinco said. “If they’re going to accept one individual out of all the NFL teams to embrace if he got into the stands, I think I should be that one.”

And Ochocinco said if he did do a Lambeau Leap, it wouldn’t be a sign of disrespect.

“I’m no harm,” Ochocinco said. “It’s all fun, it’s all entertainment. It’s really a challenge from myself for that defense and that secondary to stop me from doing what I’m coming in there to do, and that’s to do every-thing I can to give us a ’W.”’

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Though Virginia Tech defen-sive tackle Demetrius Taylor is the strongest player on the Hokies roster his career goals that have nothing to do with football.

He wants to be in federal law enforcement.

It’s a desire that came clear on April 16, 2007, when a stu-dent gunman on the Virgina Tech campus killed 32 people and then himself.

“I was actually in the build-ing right across from Norris (Hall) and I saw the students running out and I saw the po-lice rushing in and the FBI running in and that’s what solidified my decision that that’s what I wanted to do,” the 6-foot, 273-pound redshirt senior said.

The bravery and trust he saw police displaying was unforgettable.

“First of all, I felt for the students who were running out. They were running for their lives. I had never seen anything like that,” Taylor said, “but as far as seeing the cops rush in, just to see that kind of courage and to see that kind of camaraderie among the officers, knowing that all of them were putting their lives at risk, it just made me feel like that’s something

it’s what I go through now with football, but to a lesser degree.”

Taylor graduated with a degree in sociology and is working on second under-graduate degree in psychol-ogy. Last summer he did an internship with the New Jer-sey State Police.

OOPS: In an 0-2 start to the season plagued by line mistakes, Virginia left guard Austin Pasztor got away with one when he was over-come with glee for a teammate against No. 15 TCU.

Javaris Brown had just caught a 56-yard touch-down pass, his first career points. Pasztor said he jogged off the field with Brown, caught up in congratu-lating him, and then realized he was supposed to be on the field when a cheer went up as Virginia made a two-point conversion.

“It felt pretty good,” Pasz-tor said of the points that made it 30-6, allowing the Cavaliers to avoid their first shutout since 1984. “Actually, I kind of forgot to go on the field for the extra point after

that. It was a little emotional to finally score.

“They ran it behind where I was supposed to be,” he said. “I don’t think anyone really noticed until the guys who were on came off and they were like, ‘Where were you?”’

ONE FOR THE THUMB? Miami has faced 152 pro-grams in its history. Georgia Tech is close to doing some-thing only seven of those

schools have managed against the Hurri-

canes.When the Yel-

low Jackets visit Miami on Thurs-day night, Geor-gia Tech will be looking to beat

the ’Canes for the fifth straight time.According to re-

cords in the Miami football media guide, Notre Dame won 11 straight against the Hurricanes from 1967-80. Alabama won 10 straight (1962-79) and three schools — Florida State (1963-72), Flori-da (1971-77) and LSU (1946-66) — have won seven in a row.

Kentucky also beat Miami five times in a row from 1948 through 1959.

Georgia Tech heads into

the game leading the all-time series with the ’Canes 10-4.

LEGAL TENDER: Dabo Swinney thought some of Georgia Tech’s trickery last Thursday night was illegal and Clemson’s first-year coach says the Atlantic Coast Conference agreed.

In a 30-27 loss to No. 14 Geor-gia Tech, the Yellow Jackets scored on a pass off a fake kick in the opening quarter. When it happened, Swinney thought the 34-yard TD pass from kicker Scott Blair to Demaryius Thomas was not a legal play. The receiver re-mained on the field while the rest of his teammates were subbed for the kicking team.

Thomas remained near the sidelines and easily snuck by Clemson’s defenders.

Swinney said the play vio-lated substitution rules.

Swinney said Tuesday he’d communicated with the ACC’s supervisor of officials, Doug Rhoads, and was told Georgia Tech’s play was il-legal.

“You try and prepare for everything you can. That’s part of football. There’s de-ception and trick plays,” Swinney said. “But it’s hard to prepare for things that aren’t legal.”

Panthers seek quick fix after debacleCHARLOTTE (AP) — Prac-

tice ran long, there was less jok-ing around and receiver Steve Smith used his earsplitting air horn to make it clear it was time for reporters to leave the locker room.

After a seven-turnover, 38-10 embarrassment in Week 1, there was a sense the Carolina Pan-thers have already reached a critical point in the 2009 season.

“This is where a lot of teams are made and where a lot of teams fall normally during a season,” linebacker Na’il Diggs said Wednesday. “How you start is pretty big.”

Diggs brought up the opener in San Diego last year, saying Jake Delhomme’s game-winning touchdown pass to Dante Rosa-rio as time expired “catapulted

them” to a 12-4 record and the NFC South title.

Now the Panthers can only hope the first road game Sunday in Atlanta can serve as a mulli-gan of sorts after the Philadel-phia debacle.

“We’re going to have to go on the road and beat a very good team,” Diggs said. “It’s going to be more than important to put what’s happened in the past.”

That’s not easy. Not after Delhomme threw four interceptions, lost a fumble and became the target of the home fans’ wrath. Not after the experienced offensive line couldn’t pick up the Eagles’ blitzes. Not after the running game vanished and the defense

was overwhelmed with the Ea-gles starting field position.

“You can’t worry about mak-ing mistakes. You’ve just got to go out and play. That’s some-thing I’ve always been able to do — and I didn’t do it well on Sun-day,” Delhomme said. “How do

you fix it? Well, it will be fixed. I promise you.”

As Delhomme talked Wednesday, several re-porters slipped away when A.J. Feeley ap-peared from around the corner. A day after

officially signing with Carolina to replace injured No. 2 QB Josh McCown, Feeley was scrambling to learn a “foreign” offense as compared to his last three seasons in Philadelphia.

Feeley, who said he spent 14

hours at Bank of America Sta-dium Tuesday, chose the Pan-thers over the Eagles when both teams called a day earlier look-ing for QB help.

“I loved those guys, but it was time to move on,” Feeley said of Philadelphia.

Feeley then indicated he hopes to not play this season. That would mean Delhomme has got-ten out of his funk and the of-fense returned to its 2008 form.

It didn’t help Delhomme that running back Jonathan Stewart was back in his familiar role as practice spectator. After missing almost all the preseason with pain in his left Achilles’ tendon, Stewart practiced and played last week.

But after managing 35 yards on 11 carries against the Eagles,

Stewart was sitting out again Wednesday.

“It wasn’t a setback,” insisted coach John Fox. “We felt like he needed to take the day off.”

The Panthers abandoned the running game Sunday after fall-ing behind big after the early turnovers. And while Delhom-me took the heat, the experi-enced offensive line caved under Philadelphia’s elaborate blitz scheme.

Right tackle Jeff Otah, who was limited in practice with a sore shoulder, said the focus Wednesday was avoiding their numerous mental errors on blitz pickups.

“We’ve just got to do a better job working together, identify-ing the (middle linebacker) and things like that,” Otah said.

MavericksContinued from Page 1B

“The thing that scares you about their offense is they have a tailback who has shown he can take it the distance on any play,” said Chad-wick. “We’ve got to contain Pickett and try to force them into throwing the football.”

Marvin Ridge’s defense has been stellar in its four wins, giving up an average of just three points per game.

But the Mavs’ offense has been just as good, scoring 30 or more points in all four contests.

Junior tailback Kolly Ogar has rushed for 391 yards and five touch-

downs while junior receiver KJ Brent has 17 catches for 283 yards and four scores. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Chadwick has 342 yards passing with six touchdowns and no interceptions.

All three are enter-ing their first season

as a full-time starter. Brent would have been in 2008, but he missed the entire regular season after breaking a bone in his leg.

Marvin Ridge returned just three starters on offense from last season.

“We knew what we were going to get from KJ, but we really didn’t know what to expect from a kid like Kolly,” said Chadwick. “He’s been very good and that’s one of the rea-sons we have been pretty good on of-fense. (Junior tailback) David Bryant has gotten better and we’re getting some good play at the quarterback spot, too. Those are some positions that we didn’t know how players would turn out before the season, but it’s all turned out well so far.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning, Ronnie Belliard added a solo shot and Los Angeles beat Pittsburgh 3-1 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.

Los Angeles began the day with a five-game lead over Colorado in the NL West — its largest since being 5 1/2 games up on the Rockies on Sept. 1.

Kemp sent an 0-2 pitch from Kevin Hart (1-6) for his 24th homer, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead en route to their 38th comeback win of the season.

Hiroki Kuroda (7-6) gave up one run and six hits, struck out seven and walked

none in his third start since returning from the disabled list after being hit on the right side of his head by a comeback-er at Arizona on Aug. 15.

Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth for his 35th save.

Hart allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings, losing his fifth consecutive start.

Phillies 6, Nationals 1PHILADELPHIA — Joe Blanton threw

six scoreless innings and Jayson Werth hit a grand slam for Philadelphia.

Blanton (10-7) allowed five hits and struck out seven. The Phillies were one out away from recording three consecu-tive shutouts for the first time in 40 years

when Willie Harris singled in a run off Tyler Walker.

The NL East-leading Phil-lies reduced their magic number for clinching their third straight division title to 11 with 18 games remaining.

Livan Hernandez (8-11) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings. The Nationals are 3-14 against Philadelphia this season.

Werth hit his third career grand slam

and second this year in the seventh off Jason Bergman.

Marlins 5, Cardinals 2ST. LOUIS — Josh Johnson gave up

one run and nine hits over six innings and Cody Ross had three hits and drove in two runs for Florida, which has won 10 of 14.

Johnson (15-4) struck out five in his 23rd quality start of the season.

Marlins closer Leo Nunez came in with one out and two on. He hit Ryan Ludwick and Albert Pujols to force in a run before getting Matt Holliday to hit into a game-ending double play for his 22nd save.

“We all worked really hard tonight and I think we deserved to win,” said Nader, “We had a lot of injuries, but now we have all of our players back and we’re going to be re-ally good the rest of the season.”

Piedmont started the season 2-0 with two blow-out wins over Berry Acad-emy and North Stanly, but injuries plagued the Pan-thers in their next five matches. They were 0-4-1 during that stretch until Wednesday’s victory over the Jackets.

The Yellow Jackets, who fell to 1-4 in the Rocky River Conference and 1-5 overall, will be back in action Monday at home against West Stanly starting at 6 p.m.

Forest Hills’ only win of the season came in a 5-0 decision over Berry Academy on Aug. 31.

Piedmont plays at arch-rival Porter Ridge today starting at 6:30 p.m.

The Pirates are 0-8-2 to start the year, but seven of their losses are to 4A schools.


Piedmont’s Tony Tarango (4) scored a goal in Wednesday’s victory over Forest Hills.

NCAA president dead at 67

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA president Myles Brand, who while leading Indiana University fired basketball coach Bob Knight, died Wednesday afternoon from pancreatic cancer. He was 67.

The first former university president ever to run college sports’ largest governing body, Brand worked to change the per-ception that wins supersede aca-demics and earned accolades for his efforts.

Brand broke the news that he had cancer in January at the NCAA convention and contin-ued to run the organization’s day-to-day operations, despite un-dergoing treatment. The NCAA announced his death. Officials were not ready to say who would replace Brand or when they may begin searching for a successor.

“Myles Brand’s passing is a great personal loss of a dear friend and an even greater loss to the NCAA and collegiate ath-letics,” said Georgia president Michael Adams, who worked closely with Brand. “I believe Myles will be remembered as a person who helped us refocus on the student in student-athlete and his academic reforms will long outlive him.”

Brand gained national atten-tion in May 2000 when he put Knight on a zero-tolerance poli-cy after a former player alleged the hugely successful but hot-headed coach had choked him during a practice years earlier.
