Surry County Animal shelter aces inspection
Inspector: Continue the good work
Keith Strange
Staf Reporter
DOBSON — The Surry County
Animal Shelter has aced its most
recent inspection, receiving “acceptable” ratings across the board.
This latest inspection took
place on Sept. 12, and was conducted by Agent Christie Shore
of the state Animal Welfare Division.
According to the inspection
report, the shelter was listed as
an “approved” public shelter by
the Animal Welfare Section of the
N.C. Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services.
Shore reported no problems
with the shelter, and noted that
“all inadequacies from (the) previous inspection have been addressed.”
“Floors were repainted three
weeks ago, and all kennel walls
have been repainted within the
last week. There is one inside
kennel where paint has chipped,
but it is scheduled to be repaired
next week.
“(The) facility was clean and
odor-free at time of inspection.
All food was stored in sealed containers. Records are intact and
rabies vaccinations are current on
animals that have been here for
more than 15 days. Cats and dogs
all had access to clean water, and
kennel areas were clean and dry,”
Shore wrote. “Continue the good
work.”
This latest inspection marks a
turnaround from the previous inspection, conducted on April 26.
During that inspection, inspector Lindsey Lloyd found several
issues with the local shelter that
were reported as “not acceptable.”
These included a kennel door
in need of repair, rust on doors in
the cat room and cracks in the facility’s loor.
The local shelter also was given
a “not acceptable” rating for damaged gates on two kennel doors and
one kennel not being escape-proof.
Floors and walls peeling at the
Dobson shelter also resulted in a
“not acceptable” rating.
Other issues dealt with sanitation and animal care, according to
the inspection report.
Three cat enclosures were found
without litter boxes, and ive animals were discovered that lacked
current rabies vaccinations.

Report: County’s
Wildcat Club day at held Riverside Park population aging
David Broyles
Staf Reporter
Westield Elementary School
students who had shown positive
behavior in the irst nine weeks
of school were rewarded Tuesday
with a day of activities at Riverside
Park. This was the opening Wildcat Club day of the school year for
students.
Spokesperson and third-grade
teacher Julie Hill explained the
club, formerly known as the Warriors Club, is part of the ongoing
Positive Behavior Intervention
Support (PBIS) program for Surry
County Schools. She said students
earn points with each teacher contributing unique positive behavior
support in individual classrooms.
Wildcat Club activities ranged
over six stations in the park. The
day was held from 10:30 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. and a total of 246 students were transported to the
event in four buses. Hill said the
prekindergarten classes are separate from the club activities but do
have their own behavior support
program.
Traditionally, a total of four club
days are held by the school with
off-campus activities on the irst
and third quarters and on-campus
events such as movie night held on
the second and fourth quarters.
“We are creative with our resources,” said Hill. “We only have
the cost of the buses. This is their
(the students) favorite trip. This
is more of a school-wide activity
as opposed to individual teachers
deciding what they do for this program in their classrooms.” She said
Westield students are reminded
every morning to be Respectful,
Orderly, Attentive and Responsible
(ROAR).
“I enjoy rewarding them for
good behavior,” added Hill. Students who were accompanying her
on the nature trail walk had taken
notice of stacks of rocks placed in
the center of a stream.
“That’s just awesome,” said

DOBSON — Surry County’s population is aging, and
it is expected to get older
over the next couple of decades. Oficials are urging
the Board of Commissioners to begin thinking about
how to deal with the aging
population.
That was the message
Adrienne Calhoun, assistant director of the Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging,
delivered as she updated
the board on issues related
to aging.
Calhoun delivered her report during Monday’s meet-
ing at the County Government Center in Dobson.
During her report, she
said that compared to an
overall growth rate of 3.4
percent for the county, the
population of residents
60 years of age and older
increased 17.8 percent between 2000 and 2010.
“We are in an aging society,” Calhoun said. “The
growth that you see represents that Surry County will
also see a dramatic increase
in the number of adults
aged 75 and older.”
Between 2010 and 2030,
the county is expected to
see the number of residents
between age 60 and 64 to

third-grade student Tyson Tilley.
“I’ve done all of these (club days).
I like every one of them.”
Fifth-grade student Ian Dollyhite
is a veteran of the club days. He said
he has participated in seven of them.
“I’ve pretty much attended all of
these we have had,” said Dollyhite.
“I like them all the same. I don’t
have a favorite.”
Dollyhite also appeared to have
the strategy down for Wildcat
Club. He said that earning good
behavior points early in the school
year is easier.

PILOT MOUNTAIN —
Those drawn to Pilot Mountain State Park in search of
fall colors can expect to encounter many others doing
the same thing, an oficial
says.
“Visitors should be prepared to have up to a onehour wait for parking at
the mountain section of the
park for the next four to ive
weekends, until the leaves
drop,” Matt Windsor, park
superintendent,
advised
last week.
“We may have to stop all
incoming trafic temporarily if conditions become unsafe or in the event of EMS
response.”
Pilot Mountain typically
has more visitors during October than any other state
park, with as many as 1,500
vehicles per day entering its
grounds on weekends.
While oficials encourage such usage, it is posing
logistical issues that could
prompt some visitors to adjust their plans or means of
access to the park, Windsor
added Monday. Even with
skies cloudy, crowds were
so heavy there Sunday that
rangers had to direct trafic
from 11:30 a.m. until about
5 p.m., he said.
The park superintendent
said heavy visitation has
been the norm there recently, but is expected to hit
even greater heights with
the fall leaf season under
way.

Garden club to plant rose garden at hospice home
Mondee Tilley
Staf Reporter
DOBSON — In honor of a dear friend and
former Garden Gate Gardening Club member, Julie Bray, the club met Tuesday with
landscape architect Chip Calloway at the Joan
& Howard Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson
to discuss plans for a rose garden behind the
home.
Calloway said he lost his mother who was
staying in the home for her end-of-days care,
so he donated his time to design a garden for
those who have lost a loved one or for those
visiting or staying in the Woltz Hospice Home.
“This is near and dear to my heart,” said
Calloway over lunch at the home with the garden club.
The club’s president, Rosie Sink, explained
to the group that there is a lot of sunshine in
the spot where the garden is planned.
“I think this is such a wonderful project.
Hope we can get local residents and businesses to help out with this project,” said Sink.
“This came from heaven. Just look at the sky.”
Sink said Bray had four small children, so
this project is especially meaningful for the
group.
“She was here — so this means a lot to us,”
said Sink.
Club member Susan Campbell remembered
spending the last week of Bray’s life with her
at the hospice home.
“Her favorite color was ‘yallow.’ She was
from Virginia, so that’s how she said it,” said
Campbell. “I know she is tinkled pink looking
down from heaven at this project.”
She is passionate about making sure there
are yellow roses in the garden there in memory of her friend who died at the age of 45.
Sheila Jones, director of development and
marketing for Mountain Valley Hospice and
Palliative Care, said the garden club needs to
make sure the garden is wheelchair accessible
for residents at the home.
“The whole point of this is making sure that
people are able to enjoy the view of this garden,” said Jones.
Before the group walked out to the area
where the garden will be planted, Calloway
showed them some slides of his work. Members of the club, let the word “Wow” out as
each slide of his work came up.
Calloway said people love to get married
in his yard that is just outside of downtown
Greensboro.
He said a few years ago, he invited chef
Alice Waters to his home where he showed
her his edible garden. She then invited him
to California to design an edible garden for a
school there.
Plans for the garden include a drip irrigation system, a bench and a picket fence.
Donations for the garden will be certainly
appreciated, Sink said.

Board OKs rezoning
of Holly Springs Road
Keith Strange
Staf Reporter
DOBSON — The Surry County Board of Commissioners
gave the go-ahead to a rezoning they say could help further
economic development efforts in the county.
Following a public hearing during which no one spoke,
the board unanimously approved rezoning 6.25 acres on
Holly Springs Road near its intersection with Reeves Mill
Road.
County Planner Kim Bates told the board that the property is being purchased by Mountain River Trucking Co.,
and lies adjacent to the company’s existing property.
“It’s currently zoned residential, and Mountain River
Trucking Co., wants to rezone it to manufacturing and industrial, the same as their property,” he said.
Bates said the trucking company, which sent no representatives to the meeting to address the board, has proposed
to purchase the property from Carter Bank and Trust.
“The purchase is contingent on this rezoning being approved,” he said.
The property includes about 750 feet of road frontage on
Holly Springs Road, and is expected to be used for access
to Mountain River Trucking and parking.
After being told that the county’s planning board and
planning staff has recommended approval, the board unanimously approved the rezoning on a motion by Commissioner Paul Johnson and with a second by Commissioner
Jimmy Miller.
Commissioner Eddie Harris was absent.

• A Mount Airy resident was
charged with assault, inlicting serious injury, after allegedly hitting
another man with a claw hammer
Saturday, according to city police
department reports. Thomas Boyd
McMillian, 43, of 3002 Wards
Gap Road, was located at Thruway Shopping Center on U.S. 52
by police responding to a ight
call there. Bobby Dean Huff Jr., a
Holly Avenue resident, had been
struck several times with the hammer, causing severe lacerations.
McMillian was arrested on the felony assault violation after a brief
investigation, and released under
a $10,000 secured bond. He is facing a Nov. 13 appearance in Surry
District Court.
• A second person has been
charged in connection with a recent crime at the city government
public services center that involved
thousands of dollars in tools and
supplies being stolen. Randy Lane
Magaraci Jr., 24, of 105 Chads
Way, is accused of three felonies
in the incident that was discovered
on Sept. 17 at the East Pine Street
facility. They include breaking and
entering, breaking and entering of
a motor vehicle and larceny after
breaking and entering. Magaraci
also is facing a misdemeanor larceny violation.
Both the building and a vehicle
were entered, with various tools
and supplies valued at $3,066 stolen, including copper items. Warrants in the case were issued on
Sept. 25 against Magaraci, who
was arrested Wednesday after
being encountered by police during an investigation on Rockford
Street near Haymore Street, with
additional details regarding that
encounter not listed. He was held
in the Surry County Jail under an
$11,000 secured bond and is to appear in District Court on Nov. 6.
Christopher Dennis Moore, 28, of
227 Rockford St., previously was
charged in the case and also is
scheduled to be in court that day.
• Sarah Evelyn Hill, 28, of 2694
Old Pipers Gap Road, Cana, Va.,
was charged last week with being
a fugitive from justice. Hill was
encountered Wednesday during a
trafic stop on U.S. 52 near Galax
Trail by police who discovered an
active warrant out for her from
Hillsville, Va., on an unspeciied
matter. She also was cited for having no insurance and failing to register a vehicle with the DMV. Hill
was released on a written promise
to appear in Surry District Court.
• A debit card has been reported stolen from a residence on
Thomas Lane, where it was taken
by an unknown party. The victim
of the crime, which police learned
of Wednesday, is Freddie Poindexter Stanley of Wonderland Way in
Dobson.
Crowds
From Page A1
“They look like they’re changing a little bit earlier than in
years past, but they’re not at
peak,” Windsor said of present
leaf conditions. “I would guess
we’re about two weeks away from
peak.” Cooler nighttime temperatures seem to be causing the earlier change, with Windsor pointing
out that colors will vary at different elevations on the mountain.
In reaction to the heavy visitation, park personnel are seeking
to alleviate problems by announcing alternate ways to enter and
enjoy the park other than the
main road leading to its summit.
“I am trying to get the word out
about our trafic issues to keep
our visitors informed,” added
Windsor. He said this includes
providing details about “some satellite areas people can walk and
hike and avoid the crowds.”
Those wanting to circumvent
the trafic and desiring a longer
fall hike can visit the north river
section parking areas on Hauser
Road; that section has around
10 miles of trails and a mountain
trail. There is also a corridor trail
parking area on Pinnacle Hotel
Road which will allow visitors to
hike either three miles to the summit or a seven-mile loop around
the mountain.
The timing of visits also is a
consideration, according to Windsor.
“I would strongly suggest that
local visitors who have an opportunity to visit during the week do
so to reduce the amount of trafic
on weekends.” The superintendent said the facility tends to attract many out-of-town travelers
who notice the mountain while
passing through and venture in
“without being familiar with what
we have.”
Windsor added that there are
only 155 paved parking spaces
in the entire mountain section.
Although the space for accommodating vehicles in the summit
area is unchanged since the late
1970s and early 1980s, visitation
is at least four times higher than
the levels seen then, the superintendent said.

Aging
decrease by three percent,
while those aged between
65 and 75 will grow by
27 percent. Residents age
between 75 and 84 are expected to increase by 42
percent, while those considered very frail and elderly
(age 85 and older) will increase by 24 percent.
“What we’re talking
about here impacts a lot of
people in the county,” she
said. “It’s important.”
According to Calhoun,
the challenges faced by the
county include how to deliver services to the aging
population.
“Older adults in Surry
County live both in and
outside of municipal areas,”
she said. “As an agency,
we need to begin thinking
about how to deliver services in the county.”
Calhoun said that less
than four percent of the
county’s seniors live in residential care facilities.
“Almost two-thirds of
older adults live with family members,” she said. “Almost one-third live alone
and 75 percent of those are
single women.”
And those single elderly
residents face serious challenges, Calhoun added.
“These include dropping
income levels,” she said.
Of the 12,250 people who
are age 65 and older, 94 percent receive Social Security
beneits averaging $1,063
per month.
“This is only $1,586 per
year more than the baseline federal poverty level,”
Calhoun said, adding that
Tony
“13.8 percent of Surry
County seniors live on less
than $11,000 per year.”
Other challenges include
lack of transportation, she
added.
“There are 754 households in Surry County with
seniors who don’t have access to a vehicle,” she said.
“While we may have transportation options within our
municipal areas, there are a
lot of people who live outside these boundaries.”
Access to food is another
problem.
Calhoun said that North
Carolina ranks ninth in the
nation for food insecurity
for seniors.
“In Surry County, more
than 12,000 older adults
don’t have access to nutritious food,” she said. “Seniors trying to be responsible will go without food to
make ends meet.”
While home delivered
meals programs provide
more than 7,000 meals in the
county a year, more needs
to be done as the county’s
population gets older.
“Hopefully, with planning
and preparation, the community will be ready for the

State cannot rest
on past success
in education
From the News & Record of Greensboro
When preparation began for the UNC Tomorrow plan in
2007, the future didn’t look so bad.
That changed in a hurry.
Now, after a near collapse of the inancial system, large
losses in personal wealth and deep state budget cuts, the
public university system has to reassess its mission and
capabilities. Although higher education is more important
than ever, it is also more challenging to keep UNC’s doors
open to another generation of bright young people.
So the UNC Advisory Committee on Strategic Directions, formed last month, has its work cut out for it. At its
irst meeting Sept. 26, system President Tom Ross laid out
goals, which include making sure qualiied students have
access to higher education and providing relevant, forwardlooking courses of study. While those goals have always
been basic to UNC’s purpose, they are especially critical
now. North Carolina’s ability to prosper in a global economy depends on the skills and ingenuity of its people, but
the cost of providing the education necessary to develop
this talent taxes the state’s resources.
The committee’s makeup has drawn some protest by critics who think it has a conservative political tilt. It might.
Republicans gained control of the state Legislature in 2010,
and they made last year’s appointments to the UNC Board
of Governors. They inluenced the selection of right-leaning
business leaders to the committee, which also includes the
Legislature’s top Republicans: Senate President Pro Tem
Phil Berger and House Speaker Thom Tillis. The committee’s task is to report recommendations to next year’s Legislature, which means Berger and Tillis will be reporting
to themselves. Maybe it will help if they can get an inside
view of UNC issues. Meanwhile, executives from AT&T,
GlaxoSmithKline, Duke Energy and other key irms should
have much to say about meeting the needs of a changing
economy. …
North Carolina built one of the nation’s best public university systems over a long period of time, but it can’t rest
on its reputation. If the state relaxes its commitment to
higher education, it will fall behind in the race to invent the
future. Competing for low-skilled jobs is part of the past.
North Carolina’s tomorrow will be poorer unless the right
planning begins today.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor,
Regarding today’s (Oct.
16) article addressing the
issue of downtown deliveries, as business owners, we
would like to state our concerns.
We are a company that
receives deliveries daily.
Limiting delivery times
could hinder our ability to
eficiently expedite orders.
We often need to turn product same day. Requiring
deliveries from side streets
would cause trucks to circle as they work their way
down Main Street. We feel
this would create even more
congestion.
Has anyone bothered
to talk to the carriers involved, meaning their
management? How will
this hinder their ability to
deliver on time? We spoke
with UPS and Fed-Ex today and no one has called
them. They were however
aware of this issue because
of business owners, and one
commissioner, talking with
the drivers. Have they made
them aware of the meeting
so they can be represented?
Patience gets you down
Main Street in a safe manner. Not stopping needed
delivers to businesses
there. One has to navigate
around cars that are parallel
parking, which in our opinion is more dificult than a
truck that is visible a couple
blocks away. Of course as a
merchant we are concerned
for safety and convenience.
We are just not sure this
is the battle that is being
fought.
Our commissioners need
to be more concerned about
bringing new business to
this area rather than making it more dificult for existing businesses to operate
effectively.

To the Editor,
I feel I must address
the editorial “Video Poker Should Be Banned In
State.” Though the decision will be made by the NC
Supreme Court, I support
this form of entertainment.
These establishments not
only provide jobs for the
employees, they also offer
a form of cheap entertainment and relaxation for
their customers.
As for “leecing individuals, some of whom have an
unhealthy addiction to gaming,” each customers spends
ONLY what they choose to
spend. One could easily say
the ABC store “leeces alcoholics” taking their money
and feeding their addiction.
The same could be said of
stores that sell cigarettes.
The difference is that each
transaction is not taxed
as alcohol and tobacco is.
However, the heavy tax
burden cost per machine
certainly contributes to the
city’s revenue.
I feel it should be a free
choice each individual is allowed to make without NC
determining what one can
and cannot do for entertainment, as it is with drinking
and smoking. In my opinion
there is no difference. The
same arguments again video gaming can be applied
to these other “evils.” I also
would hate to see gaming
employees join the already
high unemployment rate.
The bottom line is, and
always has been, this form
of entertainment not being taxed per transaction,
not concern for individual
citizens. I feel the state has
enough control over our
lives as it is. And for the record, yes, I do occasionally
enjoy playing video poker
and have no problem knowing my spending limits.

Auditor faces challenge from school board member
RALEIGH — The late
Ralph Campbell blamed his
loss in the 2004 state auditor’s race on a single audit.
Campbell, the irst African-American elected to
statewide ofice in North
Carolina, served 12 years as
auditor. In 2004, his ofice
released a scathing audit
critical of the state’s handling of Medicaid payments
to hospitals.
Campbell said the problem payments were “clearly
a scheme.”
The characterization angered oficials in the Easley
administration, along with
a few traditional Democratic donors.
Campbell always believed that the resulting
fallout caused his loss to
Republican Les Merritt a
few months later. It was an
election where other Democratic incumbents in North
Carolina fared pretty well.
The lesson doesn’t appear lost on current State
Auditor Beth Wood.

Earnings propel Dow to its biggest jump in a month
Joshua Freed
AP Business Writer
Inflation is low, earnings are
high, investors are happy.
Stocks shot higher Tuesday,
giving the market its biggest gain
in a month. Results at Mattel,
Goldman Sachs, and Johnson &
Johnson were all above expectations.
It was the second day of broad
gains following a down week last
week. Investors had been worried headed into the third-quarter
earnings season that corporate
profits wouldn’t be good enough
to justify the run-up in stocks
in recent months. While earnings haven’t been out-of-the-park
great, they haven’t been as bad as
some had feared.
Also Tuesday, the Labor Department said consumer prices rose
just 0.1 percent last month, not
counting food and energy costs.
And gasoline prices have come
down since then. Low inflation
leaves consumers with more money to spend, and leaves the Federal
Reserve free to continue its efforts
to boost the economy.
In addition, an index of homebuilder sentiment came in at its
highest level since 2006, suggesting that the construction industry
is making a comeback.
“The picture of the economy is
one that’s still proving to be resilient to a lot of the problems that
investors are worried about,” said
Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors.

Social Security
benefits get a 1.7
percent bump
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 56 million
Americans on Social Security will get raises averaging $19 a month come January, one of the smallest hikes since automatic adjustments for inflation
were adopted in 1975, the government announced
Tuesday.
Much of the 1.7 percent increase in benefits
could get wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments.
At the same time, about 10 million working
people who make more than $110,100 will be hit
with a tax increase next year because more of their
wages will be subjected to Social Security taxes.
The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, on payments is tied to a government measure of inflation
released Tuesday. It confirms that inflation has
been relatively low over the past year, despite the
recent surge in gasoline prices.
Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent
increase in benefits this year after getting none the
previous two years.
“The annual COLA is critically important to the
financial security of the (56) million Americans receiving Social Security benefits today,” said Nancy
LeaMond, AARP’s executive vice president. “Amid
rising costs for food, utilities and health care and
continued economic uncertainty, the COLA helps
millions of older Americans maintain their standard of living, keeping many out of poverty.”
Social Security payments average $1,131 a
month, or $13,572 a year. A 1.7 percent increase
amounts to a $19 increase each month, or about
$230 a year.
Payments for retired workers are a little higher
on average, about $1,237, so the typical increase
will be slightly larger. Disabled workers get a little
less on average, about $1,111 a month, so their
typical increase will be a little smaller. Social Security also provides benefits to millions of spouses,
widows, widowers and children.
About 8 million people who receive Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for
poor people, will also receive the COLA. In all, the
increase will affect about one in five U.S. residents.
Since 1975, the annual COLA has averaged 4.2
percent. Only five times has it been below 2 percent, including the two times it was zero. Before
1975, it took an act of Congress to increase Social
Security payments.
“While this modest increase will help, much of
the COLA will be consumed by health care and
prescription costs, which continually outpace inflation,” LeaMond said.
Medicare Part B premiums, which cover doctor
visits, are expected to rise by about $7 per month
for 2013, according to government projections.
Since the premiums are deducted from Social Security payments, that would eat up more than a
third of the average COLA.
The Part B premium is currently $99.90 a month
for most seniors. Medicare is expected to announce
the premium for 2013 in the coming weeks.
Social Security is supported by a 12.4 percent
tax on wages up to $110,100. That threshold will
increase to $113,700 next year, resulting in higher
taxes for nearly 10 million workers and their employers, according to the Social Security Administration.
The tax increase would amount to $446 for
someone who makes at least $113,700. Half the
tax is paid by workers and the other half is paid
by employers.
Congress and President Barack Obama reduced
the share paid by workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2
percent for 2011 and 2012. The temporary cut,
however, is due to expire at the end of the year.
By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on
the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure
of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food,
housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical
care, recreation and education.
Over the past year, housing costs have gone up
1.4 percent, but home energy costs have dropped
by 3.8 percent, according to the CPI-W. Medical
costs, which tend to hit seniors harder than younger adults, have increased by 4.4 percent.
age rose 127.55 points to close at
13,551.78, its biggest gain since
Sept. 13.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 14.79 points to 1,454.92,
and the Nasdaq composite rose
36.99 to 3,101.17.
The gains were broad, with nine
out of 10 industry groups in the
S&P 500 index rising. Telecom
stocks had a tiny decline. Materials stocks rose 2.4 percent.
Mattel jumped 5 percent after
reporting that brisk sales of American Girl dolls and Fisher-Price
toys sent the company’s profit
well above analysts’ forecasts. The
stock gained $1.78 to $37.20.
Johnson & Johnson rose 95
cents to $69.55 after revenues
came in ahead of Wall Street’s forecasts.
Among companies reporting
after the closing bell, IBM fell
in after-hours trading after its
revenues came up short of Wall
Street’s forecasts. Intel fell after
its earnings and revenue came in
below forecasts.
Other stocks making big moves
included:
Apple rose $15.03, or 2.4 percent, to $649.79 after the company sent out invitations for an
event next Tuesday where it is
expected to announce a smaller
iPad.
Citigroup rose 59 cents $37.25
following the sudden departure
of CEO Vikram Pandit, who had
steered the bank through the
2008 financial crisis. Pandit,
who is also stepping down from
the company’s board, is being re-
placed by longtime Citi executive
Michael Corbat.
A123 Systems Inc., a maker of
electric batteries for vehicles, put
its U.S. operations into Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection and
said its automotive assets will
be acquired by Johnson Controls
for $125 million. A123’s stock
plunged 18 cents to 6 cents.
The yield on the benchmark 10year Treasury note rose to 1.72
percent from 1.67 percent late
Monday.
European markets also rose.
Benchmark indexes were up 1.6
percent in Germany, 2.4 percent
in France and 1.1 percent in Britain.
The euro rose to almost $1.30

Pandit steps down as Citigroup CEO
Daniel Wagner
AP Business Writer
Vikram Pandit, who
steered Citigroup through
the 2008 financial crisis and
the choppy years that followed, abruptly left the bank
on Tuesday, stepping down
as CEO and as a director.
The move shocked Wall
Street, and Citigroup offered no explanation. There
had been no hint of the departure Monday, when the
bank discussed its strong
third-quarter earnings in
lengthy calls with analysts
and reporters.
A second top executive resigned as part of the shakeup: President and Chief Operating Officer John Havens,
who was also CEO of Citi’s
Institutional Client Group,
which serves global companies, banks and governments.
Pandit was replaced immediately by Michael Corbat, 52, a Citigroup lifer who
had been CEO of its Europe,
Middle East and Africa division. Corbat joined the bank
in 1983, just after graduating from Harvard.
The Wall Street Journal
reported that the departures
followed a clash between
Pandit and the company’s
board over strategy and
business performance, including at the group run by
Havens.
In a conference call late
Tuesday with financial analysts and reporters, Corbat
and Citigroup chairman
Michael O’Neill remained
vague about the sudden
change.
“What happened is that
Vikram submitted his resignation and we accepted it,”
O’Neill said more than once.
Corbat said the changes do
not reflect any desire to
change Citigroup’s strategic
direction.
Analysts suspected there
was more to the story. Pandit’s departure from the
board is a clear indication
that “this was a complete
and unexpected break”
between Pandit, 55, and
Citi directors, said Chris
Whalen, a bank analyst and
senior managing director of
Tangent Capital Partners in
New York.
“This shows how dysfunctional this organization is, to
have this event unfold this
way,” Whalen said. “They
should have told us yesterday, unless they didn’t
know.”
If Pandit’s disagreements
with the board were recent,
his trouble with shareholders had been brewing far
longer. They rejected his
2011 pay package in a nonbinding vote this spring.
Since joining the bank in
December 2007, Pandit has
made at least $56.4 million,
according to data compiled
for The Associated Press by
Equilar, an executive pay research firm.
That includes salary, bonuses, benefits and perks
and stock awards. Pandit
also made about $165 million from a buyout of his
ownership stake in Old Lane
Partners, a hedge fund he
founded that was acquired
by Citi.
Many shareholders were
also frustrated by Pandit’s
failure to boost Citigroup’s
stock price, which was
decimated during the 2008
financial crisis and remains
far below where it was when
Pandit took over.
The day Pandit was
named CEO, Citi’s stock
closed at $332.30, after adjusting for a reverse stock
split last year that reduced
the number of shares in circulation. It closed Tuesday
at $37.25, up 59 cents for
the day.
Citi’s stock has mainly
kept up with its peers over
the last year, but its longerterm record is dismal. It’s
by far the worst-performing
major bank stock over the
past five years, having lost
91 percent of its value, versus a 6 percent gain for
Wells Fargo and a 2 percent
gain for JPMorgan Chase.
Still, on Monday, Citigroup’s stock rose to its
highest level since April
after the bank said it beat
analysts’ expectations in the
third quarter.
In a call with financial
analysts that lasted an hour
and 40 minutes, and a shorter call with reporters, no one
asked bank executives how
long Pandit planned to stay,
or whether there was a succession plan in place.
During his five-year tenure, Pandit slimmed the
bank by selling businesses,
sought and then repaid
multiple federal bailouts,
and helped right its balance
sheet after billions in losses
on bad mortgage investments made before he took
the helm. It was a sharp departure from his predecessors, empire-builders with a
hunger for big acquisitions.
Today, Citi is the country’s
third-largest bank, with $1.9
trillion in assets. It trails only
JPMorgan, with $2.3 trillion,
and Bank of America, with
$2.1 trillion.
Yet the scars of the financial crisis have continued to
plague Pandit and the bank
he led, and will confront Corbat as he takes over.
Pandit was appointed
CEO in December 2007, a
period when the crisis was
smoldering but had yet to
engulf Wall Street. Some
in government believed the
bank was too slow to address
its problems as they emerged
in those months before the
global financial system froze
up in September 2008.
Among Wall Street banks,
Citigroup was perhaps the
closest to the center of the financial crisis. It participated
in every step of the assembly
line that transformed shoddy
mortgages into complex investments and seeded them
through the world financial
system. When the housing
market turned in 2007, Citigroup’s fingerprints were all
over the toxic loans it had
originated, bundled and resold.
By the time Pandit took
charge, Citigroup was considered the weakest of the
Wall Street banks. Its stron-
ger peers were forced to take
billions in bailout money
in October 2008 to divert
attention from Citigroup,
which needed the money to
survive.
Citigroup was the only
mega-bank, aside from Bank
of America, to receive more
than one round of taxpayer
bailout money. It received a
total of $45 billion in direct
cash infusions in three separate transactions. The bank
also benefited from billions
more in government subsidies and guarantees against
losses on bad investments.
As the crisis erupted in
September 2008, Pandit suffered a bruising embarrassment. His bank announced
it would buy the bulk of
Wachovia, which was being
crushed by lousy, complex
mortgage investments. Citi
would get a fire-sale price
and emerge from the crisis a
rescuer, rather than a victim.
But four days later, Wells
Fargo charged in with another offer. It elbowed Citi
out of the way and won the
approval of shareholders and
regulators.
Citi survived those critical
months, but its reputation
was tattered. In March 2009,
as the crisis raged, President
Barack Obama ordered the
Treasury Department to consider breaking up Citigroup
and removing its executives,
according to a behind-thescenes book about the crisis
published last year by journalist Ron Suskind.

DOBSON — The Surry
County Board of Commissioners took a moment out
of its agenda Monday night
to honor three residents for
their efforts supporting the
Special Olympics.
The recognition came as
the board met in the Commissioner’s Meeting Room
at the County Government
Center in Dobson.
During the meeting, the
board recognized 2012 Athlete of the Year Neal Joyner,
Volunteer of the Year Kim
Inman and long-time volunteer Nicole Jordan.
Joyner was recognized
not only for his winning record after decades competing in the Special Olympics,
but for his work raising
money to help others participate. He has participated in
the county’s Special Olympics since 1978, and has
traveled across the country
competing.
He has raised thousands
of dollars over the years,
helping more than three
dozen athletes fund their
involvement this year alone
through the Adopt an Athlete Program.
Inman has served not
only as a volunteer and
member of the Special
Olympics Fundraising Com-
mittee, but this year was
solely responsible for funding efforts that brought in
more than $15,000 for uniforms and expenses.
Nicole Jordan has volunteered with the Special
Olympics since her years
as a student at Mount Airy
High School, and serves on
the county’s Special Olympics Committee and the
fundraising committee.
She has served as interim local coordinator for
the program, as well as assistant coordinator for the
county’s Special Olympics.

Friends memorialize Arlen Specter
NARBERTH, Pa. (AP)
— Former U.S. Sen. Arlen
Specter was an “irreplaceable” force who approached
politics — and life — with
grit and determination, a
who’s who of politicians
and others said Tuesday at
the longtime senator’s funeral.
“I’ve never seen as much
undaunted courage as Arlen
had — both physically and
politically. He believed he
could change the world, if
he just worked hard enough
at it,” Vice President Joe
Biden told mourners, including three Pennsylvania
governors, federal judges
and hundreds of friends, at
Har Zion Temple in Narberth, a Philadelphia suburb.
Specter died at his suburban home on Sunday at 82
after battling non-Hodgkin
lymphoma. He had spent
30 years in the Senate before losing his seat in 2010,
after crossing party lines to
vote for President Barack
Obama’s stimulus package
and later switching parties.
“In a dark time for our
nation, he was willing to
lose his seat to cast a decisive vote,” said Specter’s
son Shanin, whose remarks
capped about 90 minutes of
tributes.
U.S. District Judge Jan
DuBois recalled how his
friend approached everything in life “with intensity,
determination and grit,”
managing to teach one last
law class on Oct. 4 at the
University of Pennsylvania,
even as he was losing his
third ight with cancer.
Specter’s inluence on
law, medicine, politics, Judaism and other walks of
life was clear from the diverse, bipartisan and powerful crowd of mourners,
including Democratic U.S.
Sen. Bob Casey, Republican
Gov. Tom Corbett and rows
dotted with current and former members of Congress,
along with federal judges
whose careers Specter
backed.
Specter, a political moderate, switched parties
twice but mostly served
as a Republican. Speakers
said he honed his respect
for opposing viewpoints as
a child, growing up in the
only Jewish family in Russell, Kan.
“He really set the standard for working across party lines and we’re going to
miss that,” said Casey, who
said Specter had helped
smooth his transition when
he arrived in Washington.

University in Durham. The
Chapel Hill event marks the
12th time Mrs. Obama has
visited the state since becoming irst lady.
On Tuesday, she spoke
near a large banner featuring the campaign slogan
“Forward” printed in white
letters over a ield of light
blue to match the walls of
Carmichael Arena, home
of the Tar Heels women’s
basketball team. President
Obama used the same venue this spring for a speech
to help build support for
getting Congress to extend
low-interest student loans.
Saying there was still
much more that the president hoped to accomplish
with four more years, the
irst lady echoed the campaign’s buzz words from
2008.
“Change is hard. It takes
patience and tenacity,” she
said. “Elections are about
hope.”

Specter “irreplaceable.”
“He touched so many
lives,” Scirica said. “He
had some tough times, but
he always thought that he
was working for the public
good.”
Two of Specter’s granddaughters also spoke, including Silvi Specter, a
freshman at Penn who drew
applause when she said she
hopes to follow her grandfather into law and the U.S.
Senate — before becoming
president.
Shanin Specter, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer,
compared his father to the
ictional character Forrest Gump, given Specter’s
proximity to so many seminal events in modern American history.
Specter served as counsel to the Warren Commission investigating President
John F Kennedy’s death. He
won his Senate seat in the
Reagan landslide of 1980
and, as one of the Senate’s
sharpest legal minds, took
part in 14 Supreme Court
conirmation hearings.
He grilled Anita Hill
when the law professor
raised sexual harassment
complaints against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. That cost
him some of the support he
enjoyed from female voters,
but, much like the stimulus
vote, he felt it was the right
thing to do, former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell recalled.
All the while, Specter
fought two earlier bouts
with Hodgkin lymphoma,
and overcame a brain tumor
and cardiac arrest following
bypass surgery.
His greatest legacy, his
friends said, may be the $10
million in federal money
he steered into cancer research.
“There are some things
that even the most robust
human spirit can’t conquer,” said Rendell, choking
up.
Specter is also survived
by his wife, Joan, son Steve
and three other granddaughters.

White House ponders a strike over Libya attack
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
White House, under political
pressure to respond forcefully to
the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, is readying strike forces and drones but
irst has to ind a target.
And if the administration does
ind a target, oficials say it still
has to weigh whether the shortterm payoff of exacting retribution on al-Qaida is worth the risk
that such strikes could elevate the
group’s proile in the region, alienate governments the U.S. needs to
ight the group in the future and
do little to slow the growing terror threat in North Africa.
Details on the administration’s
position and on its search for a
possible target were provided by
three current and one former administration oficial, as well as an
analyst who was approached by
the White House for help. All four
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized
to discuss the high-level debates
publicly.
In another effort to bolster
Libyan security, the Pentagon and
State Department have been developing a plan to train and equip
a special operations force in Libya, according to a senior defense
oficial.
The efforts show the tension of
the White House’s need to demonstrate it is responding forcefully to al-Qaida, balanced against its
long-term plans to develop relationships and trust with local governments and build a permanent
U.S. counterterrorist network in
the region.
Vice President Joe Biden
pledged in his debate last week
with Republican vice presidential
nominee Paul Ryan to ind those
responsible for the Sept. 11 attack
on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi
that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three others.
“We will ind and bring to justice the men who did this,” Biden
said in response to a question
about whether intelligence failures led to lax security around
Stevens and the consulate. Referring back to the raid that killed
Osama bin Laden last year, Biden
said American counterterror policy should be, “if you do harm to
America, we will track you to the
gates of hell if need be.”
The White House declined to
comment on the debate over how
best to respond to the Benghazi
attack.
The attack has become an issue
in the U.S. election season, with
Republicans accusing the Obama
administration of being slow to label the assault an act of terrorism
and slow to strike back at those
responsible. Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton said
Monday night that the security of
State Department operations was
her responsibility.
The White House is “aiming
for a small pop, a lash in the pan,
so as to be able to say, ‘Hey, we’re
doing something about it,’” said
retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rudy
Attalah, the former Africa counterterrorism director for Defense
Department under President
George W. Bush.
Attalah noted that in 1998, after the embassy bombing in Nairobi, the Clinton administration
ired cruise missiles to take out a
pharmaceutical factory in Sudan
that may have been producing
chemical weapons for al-Qaida.
“It was a way to say, ‘Look, we
did something,’” he said.
On the subject of developing a
special operations unit, U.S. oficials received approval from Congress well before the Benghazi
attack to reprogram some funding in the budget that could be
used for the commando program
in Libya. But the details are still
being discussed with the Libyans
and also must get inal approval
from Congress, according to the
defense oficial, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to discuss
the matter publicly.
The initial cost is estimated at
about $6.2 million.
The defense oficial said U.S.
leaders have recognized the need
to train Libyan commando forces,
but details such as the size, mission and composition of the forces are still being inalized.
A Washington-based analyst
with extensive experience in Africa said administration oficials
have approached him for help
in connecting the dots to Mali,
whose northern half fell to al-Qaida-linked rebels this spring. They
wanted to know if he could suggest potential targets, which he
says he was not able to do.
“The civilian side is looking
into doing something and is
running into a lot of pushback
from the military side,” the analyst said. “The resistance that is
coming from the military side is
because the military has both
worked in the region and trained
in the region. So they are more
realistic.”
Islamists in the region are preparing for a reaction from the U.S.
“If America hits us, I promise
you that we will multiply the Sept.
11 attack by 10,” said Oumar Ould
Hamaha, a spokesman for the Islamists in northern Mali, while
denying that his group or al-Qaida
ighters based in Mali played a role
in the Benghazi attack.
Finding the militants who overwhelmed a small security force at
the consulate isn’t going to be easy.
The key suspects are members
of the Libyan militia group Ansar
al-Shariah. The group has denied
responsibility, but eyewitnesses
saw Ansar ighters at the consulate, and U.S. intelligence intercepted phone calls after the attack
from Ansar ighters to leaders of
al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb,
or AQIM, bragging about it.
The afiliate’s leaders are known
to be mostly in northern Mali,
where they have seized a territory as large as Texas following a
coup in the country’s capital. The
Maghreb is a region of northwest
Africa that stretches from Libya to
Mauritania.
But U.S. investigators have only
loosely linked “one or two names”
to the attack, and they lack proof
that it was planned ahead of time
or that the local ighters had any
help from the larger al-Qaida afiliate, oficials say.
If that proof is found, the White
House must decide whether to ask
Libyan security forces to arrest the
suspects with an eye to extraditing
them to the U.S. for trial or to simply target the suspects with U.S.
covert action.
U.S. oficials say covert action is
more likely. The FBI couldn’t gain
access to the consulate until weeks
after the attack, so it is unlikely it
will be able to build a strong criminal case. The U.S. is also leery of
trusting the arrest and questioning of the suspects to the ledgling
Libyan security forces and legal
system still building after the overthrow of Moammar Gadhai in
2011.
The burden of proof for U.S.
covert action is far lower, but action by the CIA or special operations forces still requires a body of
evidence that shows the suspect
either took part in the violence or
presents a “continuing and persistent, imminent threat” to U.S. targets, current and former oficials
said.
“If the people who were targeted
were themselves directly complicit
in this attack or directly afiliated
with a group strongly implicated in
the attack, then you can make an
argument of imminence of threat,”
said Robert Grenier, former director of the CIA’s Counterterrorism
Center.
But if the U.S. acts alone to
target them in Africa, “it raises
all kinds of sovereignty issues …
and makes people very uncomfortable,” said Grenier, who has criticized the CIA’s heavy use of drones
in Pakistan without that government’s support.
Even a strike that happens with
permission could prove problematic, especially in Libya or Mali,
where al-Qaida supporters are currently based. Both countries have
fragile, interim governments that
could lose popular support if they
are seen allowing the U.S. unfettered access to hunt al-Qaida.
Dirty shoes? How did steroids get contaminated?
NEW YORK (AP) —
Was it some moldy ceiling
tiles? The dusty shoes of a
careless employee? Or did
the contamination ride in
on one of the ingredients?
There are lots of ways
fungus could have gotten
inside the Massachusetts
compounding
pharmacy
whose steroid medication
has been linked to a lethal
outbreak of a rare fungal
form of meningitis.
The outbreak has killed at
least 15 people and sickened
more than 200 others in 15
states. Nearly all the victims
had received steroid injections for back pain.
Federal and state investigators have been tightlipped about any problems
they may have seen at
the pharmacy or whether
they have pinpointed the
source of the contamination. They did disclose
last week that they found
fungus in more than 50 vials from the company.
The New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has not
commented on its production process or what
might have gone wrong,
so outside experts can
only speculate. But the
betting money seems to
be on dirty conditions,
faulty sterilizing equipment, tainted ingredients
or sloppiness on the part
of employees.
The drug at the center of the investigation is
made without preservative, meaning there’s no
alcohol or other solution
in it to kill germs such as a
fungus. So it’s very important that it be made under
highly sterile conditions,
experts said.
Compounding pharmacies aren’t as tightly regulated as drug company plants,
but they are supposed to follow certain rules: Clean the
loors and other surfaces
daily; monitor air in “clean
rooms” where drugs are
made; require employees to
wear gloves and gowns; test
samples from each lot.
The rules are in the U.S.
Pharmacopeia, a kind of
national standards book for
compounding
medicines
that’s written by a nonproit
scientiic
organization.
Most inspections, though,
are handled by state boards
of pharmacy. Massachusetts last inspected New
England
Compounding
in March in response to a
complaint unrelated to the
outbreak; the results have
not been released.
High-volume production of the sort that went
on at New England Compounding also raise the
chances of contamina-
tion, experts said.
Traditionally, compounding pharmacies ill special
orders placed by doctors for
individual patients, turning
out maybe ive or six vials.
But many medical practices
and hospitals place large orders to have the medicines
on hand for their patients.
That’s allowed in at least 40
states but not under Massachusetts regulations.

Lady Bears open tennis playofs with 6-0 win
Jef Linville
Staf Reporter
Mount Airy swept North Stokes
6-0 to advance out of the irst round
of the 1A state dual-team tennis
playoffs.
The Lady Bears took all six singles matches in straight sets to secure the team win, and the coaches
decided not to bother with doubles
play and risk player injury.
Fourth-seeded Haley Thomas
rushed through her match with
Hannah Mabe, winning 6-0, 6-0.
The junior has won all of her
singles matches on the year. Last
season in her irst year on the team,
Thomas won every singles match
all the way to the state inal in Cary.
She then avenged that loss by taking doubles to clinch the team win.
Top seed Jordan Jackson hasn’t
lost a conference match since her
freshman year, sweeping all her
Northwest opponents for the past
three seasons.
She also took care of business
briskly with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Rebecca Gunter.
Bree Hughes was the third Bear
to sweep her opponent, taking
down Brittany Foley 6-0, 6-0.
Carley VanHoy was next to inish, winning 6-0, 6-1 over North
Stokes’ sixth seed.
The second and third seeds were
still playing, so the four players and
their teammates gathered outside
the fence to cheer them on.
Bree’s sister Jade Hughes defeated Miranda Hammonds 6-1, 6-1 in
the third-seed match.
Second seed Davi Barbour had
the toughest battle of the night. She
won the irst set 6-1 over Mallie Ziglar, but Ziglar put up a ight in the
next set. Barbour won that one 6-4.
Coach Scott Kniskern said that
North Stokes Coach Julian McKenzie has been lirting with retirement after more than 20 years of
coaching, and Kniskern hated to be
the one to send Coach Mac home.
McKenzie has coached six teams
to be state dual-team champions.
His team was ranked sixth in the
most-recent 1A coaches poll.
The Bears, ranked irst in the poll
all season, next Tuesday will host
Lake Norman Charter, the seventhranked squad.
If Mount Airy advances, the team
will face the winner of Hendersonville and Chatham Central. Elkin
was swept out of the playoffs 6-0 by
Chatham Central.
Bishop McGuinness, ranked
fourth in the poll, edged East
Montgomery 5-4 and will face ifthranked East Wilkes, which had a
irst-round bye.

exchange student, Joshua Castro (#20).
It was a super special evening for senior Lopez who
scored two of the ive winning game goals. Senior Gomez
refused to be left out and kicked through an unassisted one
of his on receiving the pleasure of scoring the last goal on
his home turf at Surry Central.
The tone for the match was set in the 24th minute when a
nice assist by Lopez was made complete by Francisco Rangel (#23), who scored the irst goal for the Golden Eagles
against the Bears.
Another goal was scored by freshman and midielder
Adrian Gonzalez whose mother Angelita said, “My son
knows where he needs to be on the ield. ” She described
her son as someone who does his chores without asking
and is passionate about soccer. He has played with his
brother in the yard for years, she said.
Freddy Cruz (#9) also had a great game as a midielder,
said Eagles Head Coach Blake Roth, who noted how important the defense of that area of the ield is and proved to pay
dividends for their success against the Bears.
Roth commented on how well both the offense and defense did Tuesday in the team’s sixth shutout of the season.
They remained disciplined and controlled the ball. “A good
defense is a good offense,” said Roth. “Mount Airy played
aggressive, but our defense kept pressure on their half of
the ield.
“One of the strategies was to minimize Bears player
Mitchell Brown (#4) by not letting him turn toward the
goal,” said Roth.
Lopez had two assists, Justo Cristobal (#6) had one assist during the match.
Exchange student and Golden Eagle senior Castro
pitched in one huge successful assist in a beautiful display
of teamwork during his last home match as an Eagle senior
in the United States. It went to senior Lopez at the 63-minJef Linville | The News ute. “It was a great night for the seniors and a spectacular

Surry Central will play
today at 6 p.m. at North
Stokes against North
Surry — the second seed
taking on the top-seeded
Lady Greyhounds who
swept the conference 16-0.
In the early going, East
Surry looked like it would
be facing the Hounds tonight.
The Lady Cardinals
were scoring two points to
every Central point in taking the irst set 25-11.
With East on such a
role, Hutchens said, “Kudos to them if they can
play that well.”
“We played really well in
set one and set two,” said
East Coach Caleb Gilley. “I
thought we came out ired
up. We were passing well,
serving well, hitting. Everything was going well.”
Despite the sharp play,
he believed the Cards had
some help.
“We knew that Surry
Central was not playing as
well as they can,” he said.
“Surry Central was making mistakes they don’t
normally make, and that
had a lot to do with it.”
In the second set, the
score was tied 3-all when
East made a 6-1 push to go
up 9-4. Central would get
no closer than four after
that in a 25-14 set.
At that point, the Cards
had outscored the Eagles
50-25.
Hutchens implored her
girls between sets to do
whatever it took to light a
ire inside themselves.
The poor play, she noted, “they see it in themselves. As soon as they
huddle up they say, ‘Man,
that’s just not us.’ We not
only had to get our mind
in it, we had to get our
heart in it, too.”
She said that they needed to get better on everything: blocking, passing,
hitting, making smarter
hits and communicating.
With Meagan Hutson
serving, the Eagles ran off
the irst ive points of the
third set.
Hutson is on the irst rotation because that whole
group plays well together,
Hutchens explained. The
back row has good defense, and the front line
can attack well.
East Surry came back to
tie the match at 8-all, but
Central didn’t fold. Eventually, the Eagles built
an 18-14 lead, drawing a
timeout from Gilley.
The Eagles won the
third set 25-18, but still
trailed 2-1 on the night.
In the fourth set, East
Surry inched ahead 6-5,
but Central made an 11-2
run to take an eight-point
lead.
The Cards cut the lead
down to 18-16 and then
20-18, but the Eagles
took the last five points
for a 25-18 win.
By this point, the Eagles fans were cheering
loudly, making North
Stokes feel like a home
match.
“Surry Central always
brings a good crowd,
we always bring a good
crowd,” Gilley said. “Surry County schools, they
follow well.”
In the final set, East
Surry took an 8-3 lead
and kept that five-point
cushion to 13-8 as Hutchens called a timeout.
The Eagles scored two
points to close to 13-10,
but after a serve went into
the net, the Cards were
one point from winning.
Behind Cassidy Joyner’s
serve, the Eagles took the
last six points for a dramatic 16-14 clincher.
“We igured it out, and
we pulled together,” said
Hutchens. “When you’re
up against a good team
like East Surry, you’ve got
to be able to pull out some
good stuff. We played excellent those last three
games.”
“They really did a good
job of keying on Keri
(Fulp), especially there at
the end,” said Gilley. “That
was probably my fault. Everybody in the gym knew
we were going to her. We
should have mixed it up,
and that’s my mistake.”
Gilley congratulated the
Eagles for the comeback.
“That shows a lot of
heart on their part,” he
said. “I know Carrie was
tickled to death, and
they’re a good program. I
hate it for our guys, but
they (the Eagles) deserved to win.”

during the doubles match in which they
won 2-1. They won the 2A division in the

match.
The only Eagles singles victory Tuesday

he said. Their record is 14-6 overall.

Honors and recognitions took center stage at the Mount
Airy Board of Education meeting on Tuesday night at
Mount Airy Middle School. Middle school Coach Mary Alice Hayes was honored for a consecutive 10-year winning
streak in girls tennis.
“This did not happen by accident,” said Mount Airy
School Superintendent Dr. Gregory Little. “This came
about through your commitment and dedication to young
people.” Little also welcomed Eric Riggs as the new principal at Mount Airy Middle School.
Polly Long, director of the eLink program, was honored
for receiving a $32,000 grant from the Armield Foundation. Little said her program has been able to maintain
computer upgrades in the computer lab at the Jones Family Resource Center with the grant monies and continue
the English as a Second Language pre-school at the Jones
Center as well.
The Mount Airy Middle School Robotics team, mentors
and coaches also were recognized by the board for participating in the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science
and Technology (FIRST) program. The system will ield
two teams in its irst Lego League competition as one of
the FIRST program’s activities to inspire interest in science, math and technology.
Little recognized John Springthorpe from SouthData and
his team as well as other businesses including Advanced
Electronics for making the Lego League possible for Mount
Airy as well as Surry County middle schools this year.
Little said Mount Airy has a total of 20 middle school
students with three coaches who have been meeting after
school to work on this year’s challenge, Senior Solution.
Mount Airy’s two teams will have a pre-tournament challenge at the middle school Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. and a community tournament has been set for Dec. 8 at Meadowview
Middle school.
Community-based strategic planning initiative facilitators Dawn Wooten and Melody Clodfelter led a work session of board members in examining proposed vision and
mission statements as well as proposed core values and
beliefs that were drafted by a steering committee of 25
members.
Wooten and Clodfelter will continue to reine the proposals with the steering committee and also begin work in the
schools on their individual improvement plans in a effort
to keep the vision and mission statements aligned with the
school improvement process.
Clodfelter explained that the inal vision statement will
be the district’s expression of a common future direction
for growth and accomplishment. The work of the steering
committee and the board intends to capture an image that
can be seen in the mind’s eye and will be the foundation for
subsequent strategic planning decisions and approaches for
the district.
The goal of the inal mission statement will be a clear,
concise expression of the district’s purpose and function.
Clodfelter indicated it will be a how-to statement to focus
the district’s attention and energies on a common purpose.
The core values and beliefs will represent a formal expression of the school district’s fundamental values, ethical
code and overriding convictions.

Desserts make a hit at Siloam Baptist homecoming
A large gathering attended
the homecoming services at
Siloam Baptist Church with
the Rev. Bill Faw welcoming everyone. The church
is more than 100 years old
and is located on old Siloam
Road. A former pastor, Johnny Gupton, was guest speaker with his son, Johnny, presenting special music.
After the sermon, the
congregation headed to the
fellowship hall for a Sunday luncheon of wonderful
homemade dishes, fried
chicken, ham biscuits, vegetable casseroles and many,
many delicious desserts.
Payge Hardy headed up
the committee and very graciously shares some of her
recipes and others that come
from the church ladies. They
are perfect for this fall weather, so head to the kitchen and
have some fun chopping, frying, cooking and baking
these goodies.

credit union is a part of a

Jeff Schinkel, Graphics
Vol. 28, No. 44
Let’s say you want to borrow $100 from a credit union. The credit union
would require you to pay back the $100 plus some extra money, called
interest. Paying interest is like paying a fee for your loan. The interest
rate tells what percentage of the original amount borrowed will be
charged for one year of borrowing.
A credit union is a place to save
and borrow money.
A credit union does a
lot of the same things
a bank does.
The difference
is that a credit
union is owned by
ALL the people who
save their money in it.
If you become a member
of a credit union, you
are also an owner. If you deposit money
into a bank, you are a customer, but not
an owner.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday,
Oct. 17, 2012:
This year you ll be able to make a
long-term dream a reality. You might
consider writing down your dreams,
as that also could lead you to what
you want. Be aware of a heightened
sensitivity involving your intuition, and
note any premonitions you get as a
result. If you are single, you could meet
someone in your day-to-day travels.
Know that you don t need to play “cat
and mouse” with this person. If you are
attached, the two of you like to spend
time indulging in a favorite pastime or
two. SCORPIO has an intensity that
draws you in.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Reach out to others. Those
who are wise seek feedback in order
to test out an idea. During this process,
an even better idea might pop up. Do
not allow your ego to get involved if
someone has sounder concepts than
you; instead, welcome them. Brainstorm
away! Tonight: Your instincts could mislead you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Relate to others directly,
and know what it is that you desire.
Friends and/or loved ones might think
they know what they want, but in reality,
their ideas come across garbled. If they
allow it, you will need to help these individuals organize their thoughts in a way
that makes more sense. Tonight: The
only answer is “yes.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Defer to others, and make it
a point to let them know that you trust
them to make good choices. Then step
back and observe. You might be clearing up a disagreement or power play
now that they can see what it is like
to run the show. Tonight: Say “yes” to
someone.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH All work and no play is not a
healthy lifestyle. More than other signs,
you have a tendency to swing from one
emotional extreme to the other. You
need to maintain a healthy amount of
physical activity, as that is the key to
keeping your stress level down. You
might feel uneasy about an upcoming
trip or a call coming in. Tonight: Work
on getting physical.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You often exude confidence,
yet right now, you are working on a
faulty premise for which you do not
have all the facts. It is likely that you
could be hearing only what you want to
hear without realizing it. Center yourself,
and go back over an important decision

HOROSCOPE
in your mind. Tonight: Happy at home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Listen to news from someone
who has easy access to you. You ll
want to rethink a decision involving a
partner. You might not be seeing the
whole picture or the people involved
clearly. You can only come from your
own perspective. Let a friend play
devil s advocate. Tonight: Hang out with
your pals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH News heads your way that
involves your finances or an offer pertaining to money. Though the other
person might have good intentions,
there could be a last-minute hassle or
problem that arises. Do not spend funds
before you get them. Tonight: Do your
thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH You enjoy the dreamlike
mood you are in, yet you might not be
as realistic as you would like to be.
Consider the possibility that a risk could
backfire and leave you feeling unhappy.
Use your dreams as a starting point
to build from, but use logic to guide
you. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way
home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Use your energy in the most
effective way you can. The Moon highlights you, which makes nearly anything
possible. You would be well advised
to try to deal with everything except a
domestic or property-related matter.
You could have a last-minute problem.
Tonight: Do absolutely what you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Allow yourself to loosen up
more. If you have an idea or a wish that
has been floating around in your mind,
bring it forth now. Come up with a plan
for how you can make it a reality. Talk
to a trusted friend who might be unusually resourceful. Tonight: You might
want some downtime.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Emphasize what you want.
A meeting could be particularly important in completing a project. You might
have more supportive friends than you
realize. Look around and ask for some
feedback. Use caution with your money,
and refuse to make any agreements
today. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Be discreet, especially if you
are confused right now. How you
handle a difficult situation could change
given some time. Nevertheless, you
have to take the lead on a project, like
it or not. Do not make any over-thetop comments involving commitment.
Tonight: Into the wee hours.

Sir Elton John honors
memory of Ryan White
NEW YORK (AP) —
On the red carpet of his
annual AIDS foundation
benefit Monday night,
Sir Elton John remembered AIDS sufferer Ryan
White.
The 65-year musician
said dealing with the teenager’s death was a major
turning point in his life,
which at the time was “out
of whack.”
“Six months after Ryan
died, I decided that was
it,” John said. And within
a year of becoming sober,
he begin thinking about
starting a foundation and
“giving something back
and making up for lost
time.”
White contracted AIDS
in 1984 after a blood
transfusion for his hemophilia. Once diagnosed, he
was expelled from middle
school and became a poster child for young people
afflicted with the disease.
John was with the boy and
his family when he died in
1990.
While great strides are
being made in research
and behavior, John said
we have a long way to go.
“The stigma involved
in people coming out
and saying they’re HIVpositive is still an underground thing, it’s still a
shame-based thing until
we can get everybody
tested and people to come
out and be role models
to people who have HIV,
then we’re still battling
against this disease,” John
said.
Established in 1992, the
Elton John AIDS Foundation continues its global
humanitarian efforts to
help raise money for a
variety of services, including prevention programs,
campaigns to end the
stigma and discrimination, and treatment, care
and support services for
people living with the disease.
The EJAF presented
Enduring Vision awards
to New England Patriots
owner Robert Kraft; Diana
Jenkins, chairman, CEO
and founder of beverage
company Neuro; and Joseph Blount, a benefactor
to the foundation since its
inception.
Stevie Nicks performed
at the benefit. Other celebrity guests included
Brooke Shields, Lance
Bass, Alan Cumming and
Courtney Love.
The EJAF raised $2 million at Monday’s event.

etiquette for gift giving and receiving? Is it rude to say, “Don’t
buy me presents. I don’t want
anybody else picking out my
things. Just give me money, and
I will do my own shopping”?
That takes all the pleasure out
of giving for me, plus it sounds
more like extortion. If it is proper etiquette, how much should
one give? Society has changed
so much in the past 50 years that
I no longer know if this is someone raised without manners or
if it’s OK to ask for money. —
Need To Know
Dear Need: It is still poor
manners to tell someone that
you expect a present and that
they should give you money so
you can buy it yourself. You are
under no obligation to follow
these instructions. If you choose
to give money (or any gift), how
much you spend is entirely up to
you.
Dear Annie: “Florida Greetings” complained about the
“high cost” of a postage stamp
to justify emailing instead of
writing. How petty. With the
price of gas around $4, a loaf of
bread more than $2 and a gallon of milk at least $3, a mere
45 cents may be the best bargain
in town.
Even with a ixed income, I
manage to send notes to others
who may have a brighter day
because they found something
other than bills and junk mail in
their mailbox. When I can send
something to California for less
than half a dollar, I am grateful.
