MONROEThe first person showed

up at 3:30 a.m., lawn chairs and blankets in tow. The second person arrived half an hour later.

By the time Gloria Haney pulled up to the National Guard Armory at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, a long line had formed down Charles Street. Most of those waiting were on food stamps; all qualified for the Department of So-cial Services’ commodity distribution program.

Haney, volunteer ser-vices coordinator for DSS, opened the doors just be-fore 9 a.m. The goal was to serve as many families as possible with the 65,000 pounds of government food delivered Tuesday. Most of it was distributed that day, she said.

“People just don’t have the money and stuff to shop like they want to,” said Sophia McNeely, a Monroe resident who volunteered with the pro-gram earlier this year. This time, McNeely found herself on the other side

of the line, waiting with dozens of others.

“I don’t have the food in my home,” she said, and certainly not enough to support three teenage daughters and a 1-year-old grandson. McNeely was laid off in February and is drawing unemploy-ment. She hopes for good news from the unemploy-ment office today.

“I thank God they got this,” she said of the pro-gram. McNeely hopes her situation will be different by Thanksgiving when she gathers with family for a holiday meal.

DSS hosts the program four times a year — March, May, September and October. Food stamps recipients automatically qualify. Others can apply at the beginning of each year.

Clengy Clark used the program last year when he was laid off by his em-ployer of 15 years. With a wife and child to support, he took his place in line to wait for food. Clark now runs his own car cleaning

MONROEUnion County has aver-

aged almost seven foreclo-sures per day in 2009. A new state program hopes to reverse that trend by offering homebuyers in-centives to purchase fore-closed properties.

According to the Union County clerk of court’s of-fice, more than 1,800 fore-closures have been filed since Jan. 1; some — like

the recent Prescot Estate subdivision foreclosure — reverting to the bank while a developer is still building in a new neigh-borhood.

To help put people back in these houses, the N.C. Housing Finance Agency announced it will provide up to $14,900 to qualified buyers who purchase foreclosure properties. The state agency will use

WAXHAWAfter hours of an emo-

tionally tense public hear-ing, a controversial de-velopment in downtown Waxhaw met a relatively quiet end.

Town commissioners voted 4-1, with Commis-sioner Max Walker in op-position, to deny a zoning change for a lot in historic downtown. Without the zoning change, the request for a conditional use per-mit, for that same lot was invalidated.

The development by His-toric Ventures LLC, would have included a three-story apartment complex with up to 94 units, a hotel, a mixed-use building, a day care and a civic center.

“I don’t feel like it is rea-sonable or consistent with the area,” said Commis-sioner Martin Lane.

It is not the first time that the town’s board has fend-ed off large developments in the historic downtown. In 2006, the town entered into an exhaustive series of hearings before reject-ing efforts to add a Wal-mart Supercenter to the area.

The decision to deny the developers’ requests came swiftly after commission-ers spent several minutes in closed session with at-torney Chaplain Spencer.

It was a calm end to a series of public hearings that had residents’ emo-tions so high that at one point a verbal disagree-ment between residents and developer Bransen Patch required police in-tervention to escort resi-dent Jim Howie from the meeting.

Originally scheduled for Oct. 13, the hearing had to be continued Tuesday due to the number of residents who signed up to speak against the project, partic-ularly the apartment com-plex. Citing everything from the lack of water and sewer to traffic issues that

Iconic feminist artist dies at 83

NEW YORK (AP) — Feminist artist Nancy Spe-ro, whose works have been included in the collections of The Museum of Mod-ern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, has died. She was 83.

The cause was respira-tory complications from an infection.

Neighborhood Stabiliza-tion Program funds for down payment and clos-ing-cost help to first-time homebuyers with low to moderate incomes.

Local real estate agents say the program should help the housing market rebound.

“Anything that gets people into houses that they qualified for is a good thing,” said Ron Sumrow, with Allen Tate Realty.

Richard Price, a real estate agent with Keller Wiliams Realty, agreed. Price has been working with foreclosure proper-ties for more than four years and discusses fore-closures during a weekly radio spot on WIXE 1190 AM.

“There have been a lot around here,” he said. “A program that helps cut back on that is good.”

Price also pointed out a silver lining.

“Bank-owned homes are an excellent oppor-tunity for first time buy-ers,” he said, adding that federal and state tax in-centives, plus depressed home prices, mean buy-ers can buy a house and have instant equity with-

out investing much of their own money.

Union was one of only 23 North Carolina coun-ties selected for the pro-gram. Statewide, $4.2 million was provided in NSP funds.

“These funds will help home buyers get into their first home and help communities stabilize neighborhoods that have experienced foreclo-sures,” said Bob Kucab, executive director of the N.C. Housing Finance Agency in an e-mail. “Be-cause foreclosures can be detrimental to surround-ing property values, these funds will benefit the entire community.”

So far, four buyers in Union and seven in Mecklenburg have initi-ated the process, but N.C. Housing Finance Agency senior communication specialist Connie Helm-linger said she could not release names until the paperwork is finalized.

Sumrow said the big-gest hurdle to buying a home in this market was getting loan approval. Because banks are hesi-tant to lend money, it is difficult for people even with good credit to get a loan. Infusing money into the down payment and lending side can help kick start the market,

Sumrow said.To qualify in Union

County, a single mort-gagor cannot earn more than $65,000 a year for the program and not more than $37,250 to earn the $8,000 down payment assistance; limits are higher for larger house-holds. Additionally, the purchased house cannot be sold for more than $210,000 for an existing home, or $220,000 for a new home.

The NSP funds are of-fered as five-year, zero-percent-interest, deferred mortgages that may be forgiven at the rate of 20 percent per year for each full year the buyer owns and lives in the home. Homeowners must be current on their mort-gage when the five-year period ends.

The Monroe-Union County Community De-velopment Corporation offers similar grants and programs, many of which offer down payment as-sistance and loan forgive-ness, as well as matching funds. The non-profit CDC also helps aspiring buyers build or improve their credit, and works with lenders to secure low interest rates. CDC funds and grants are not restricted to foreclosed properties.

REUNIONSChild’s body found; police unsure if it is missing girl, 7

ORANGE PARK, Fla. — Authorities say they have not identified a child’s body they found Wednes-day in a landfill while searching for a miss-ing 7-year-old girl. Fam-ily members were hope-ful the girl is still alive, though neighbors in the girl’s community feared the worst.

The partially covered body of the child was found in a Georgia land-fill near the Florida state line, after investigators followed garbage trucks leaving from the neigh-borhood where Somer Thompson disappeared Monday.

Sheriff Rick Besel-er said investigators searched through 100 tons of garbage before finding the body. He first said the body was female, then corrected himself to say he could not confirm the gender.

Few other details about the body, such as a pos-sible cause of death, were released. The Geor-gia Bureau of Investiga-tion planned an autopsy Thursday.

Somer vanished on her mile-long walk home from school Monday in Orange Park. She was squabbling with another child, and her sister told her to stop. The girl got upset, walked ahead of the group and wasn’t seen again.

Earlier, the girl’s father, Sam Thompson, who lives in Graham, N.C., pleaded for her safe return.

“Somer, your daddy Sam loves you unconditionally. Stay strong and don’t give up the fight or the hope that we’re going to be a family again. I love you,” he said before authorities revealed they had found the body.

He nearly had a break-down not long after, when someone claiming to be part of the search team in Florida told him they had

positively identified the child as his daughter be-cause of a birthmark. The claim was quickly found to be false after a call to the sheriff, his sister said.

BofA to sell part of Merill holdings

CHARLOTTE — Bank of America Corp. said Wednesday it has agreed to sell First Republic Bank, a private bank it inherited from Merrill Lynch & Co., to a group of investors.

The buying group is led by private-equity firms General Atlantic LLC and Colony Capital. As part of the deal, the bank’s top management, including founder and chairman James Herbert II, will stay on board.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based did not disclose terms of the deal. The Wall Street Journal re-ported earlier that the sale would be for more than $1 billion. It cited an unidentified person famil-iar with the matter.

Bank of America shares fell 10 cents to $16.91 in af-ternoon trading.

Tax collections in line with budget

RALEIGH — North Carolina tax collections continue to fall this fiscal year, but they are nearly in line with what lawmak-ers expected when they passed the state budget.

The General Assem-bly’s top economist Barry Boardman says tax collec-tions in the state are down by 1 percent, or about $45 million, from projections for the first three months of the year through Sep-tember.

Gov. Beverly Perdue al-ready held back money to state agencies in August in case of a shortfall in the $19 billion budget.

Overall revenues are still 4 percent lower com-pared to the first three months of last year as the recession keeps squeezing sales and income taxes.

Flu Shot The U.S. Centers for Disease Control encourages Americans to get an annual flu shot. This is especially important for children ages 6 months to 19 years old, adults over 50, people with certain chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular or immune system disorders, nursing home residents and anyone who works around people in these high-risk groups. Women who are pregnant should speak with their doctors regarding vaccination. People who are allergic to eggs should not get the flu shot.

Sell county buildingand not the hospital

Wow, I was really blown away after reading Clayton Loflin’s article; the Republicans are bringing out their big guns to bad mouth three of their own candidates. But after all who do these Marvin outsiders think they are coming into Union County wanting to vote and even run for office.

As if being outsiders isn’t bad enough, they are also hon-est and don’t owe their election to the developers.

Could the Republicans fight-ing among themselves be the reason that the Democrats con-trol Washington and Raleigh and soon Union County?

The only thing I can agree with Mr. Loflin about is that sell-ing our hospital is a bad idea. If they must sell something, how about selling the County Office Building as it does not serve any useful purpose.

Let’s set record straight about Weddington

I am a 39 year resident of Wed-dington N.C., and helped start this town over 25 years ago.

I have attended many Wedding-ton Town Council meetings in the last five years, and attended every hearing night on the private sew-er plant issue during the summer of 2008.

I read the Union County news-papers and one could say “I am informed” on Weddington issues. Recent letters and flyers have not accurately stated the facts. The intent of this letter is to correct

the misinformation which is cir-culating around the town of Wed-dington.

First, one of the candidates states on their signs,flyers and letters that they are seeking re-election. This is not correct, since this person was appointed to the Weddington Town Council with the departure of Councilman Melvin Threatt. This is the first time this individual is running for election.

Second, this individual states that they were instrumental in defeating the private sewer plant in 2008.

Well, everybody knows that the Friends of Weddington defeated the sewer plant! When finally vot-ing on the issue, this person was almost apologetic to the devel-oper who was pushing the private sewer plant. Third, this individu-al states adequate financial sup-port for the Providence Volunteer Fire Department. Actually, at the June, 2009 budget hearing this person did not support this fire department’s request for $100,000 to help purchase much needed equipment.

Next, a Weddington citizen activist has been working on the traffic light at Hemby/Wedding-ton-Matthews/Beulah Church roads for the past two years. Finally, this individual claims credit for the ambulance avail-able to Weddington, when actu-ally her opponent worked over one year with the Union County Board of Commissioners lead by Commissioner Hughie Sexton’s initiative for the annual $400,000 ambulance operating expense. Weddington citizens can verify all of this by doing a small amount of research.

Embarrassed by ourtown council’s actions

It makes no sense for a town council to make a public an-nouncement stating that they will support their local schools if requested, only to have Barbara Anne Price, once again, postpone that support by requesting how many children live in Stallings and attend Hemby Bridge El-ementary. What difference does that make? That was not a condi-tion placed at the September 14, 2009, Council meeting. To think that this council member is run-ning for mayor is a troubling thought. It is time that the council stands up to the ridiculous com-ments and stand by their commit-ment to support the local schools whose parents support the town of Stallings by patronizing the Stallings businesses. I am embar-rassed by the council’s behavior, once again.

“It is like you picked up the entire population of the state of South Carolina and moved

them into North Carolina”This is the way Ferrel Guil-

lory, director of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Program on Public Life, begins to talk about the impact of population growth in North Carolina since he moved here in 1972.

In 1970 North Carolina had a little more than 5 million peo-ple. In 2010, we will have more than 9.5 million, up from about 8 million in 2000. The growth rate for the recent 10-year pe-riod is 19 percent. Since 1970, our state has almost doubled its population.

Some parts of North Carolina are growing like gangbusters.

Here for example are the 23 counties that will have grown over the 10-year period at a rate in excess of North Carolina’s 19 percent average: Union (69.7 percent), Brunswick (50.8 per-cent), Wake (49.1 percent), Cam-den (44.1 percent), Johnston (43.5 percent), Cabarrus (40.1 percent), Hoke (39.0 percent),

Pender (34.3 percent), Iredell (32.6 percent), Mecklenburg (31.0 percent), Chatham (29.8 percent), Harnett (27.8 per-cent), Currituck (27.4 percent), Franklin (27.1 percent), Lincoln (23.2 percent), New Hanover (23.2 percent), Durham (22.9 percent), Clay (22.7 percent), Pitt (22.0 percent), Davie (21.7 percent), Lee (21.7 percent), On-slow (21.1 percent), and Hender-son (20.4 percent).

Although some of the grow-ing counties are in mountain or coastal resort and retire-ment areas, big growth comes around the state’s growing ur-ban regions. By themselves, Wake and Mecklenburg will

have added more than a half million people, accounting for about one-third of the state’s growth. Look at the growth in the counties touching Wake and Mecklenburg, Union and Johnston, for instance, and you see that the state’s urban and suburban areas are filling up with people.

In the just released edition of Data-Net, Guillory calls this development the “metropolita-nization” of North Carolina.

Look again at the above-aver-age growth rate counties. There are only 23, meaning that the other 77 counties are average or below average in growth—19 percent or under.

Some 14counties are losing population or not growing: Edgecombe (-7.3 percent), Mar-tin (-7.2 percent), Hyde (-6.5 percent), Northampton (-4.7 percent), Washington (-4.7 per-cent), Halifax (-4.0 percent), Le-noir (-3.7 percent), Caswell (-1.2 percent), Jones (-1.0 percent), Pamlico (-0.5 percent), Warren (-0.5 percent), Bladen (-0.1 per-cent), Anson (0.1 percent), and Rockingham (0.2 percent).

The state’s rapid and uneven growth has consequences.

Several of them are political.After the 2010 census, the

legislature will redistrict itself and the state’s congressional districts. The political party that controls the legislature after next year’s election will do the job—and give it the op-portunity to draw district lines that will give it a competitive edge for the next 10 years.

As a result, next year’s parti-san battles in competitive legis-lative races will be wild.

Another result will come about regardless of partisan politics. It will be a shift of po-litical power to the faster grow-ing areas, especially Wake and Mecklenburg and the nearby counties. Guillory projects that Wake and Mecklenburg to-gether will have about 23 seats in the state House and about 10 Senate seats—or about 20 per-cent of each house. Add to that total the representation from the surrounding counties and the smaller urban areas in the Triad, Asheville, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Greenville.

When you do, you will have a legislature that is incremen-tally, but significantly, more “metropolitanized” than the one that it will replace.

Finally, the state’s 10-year growth means that the popula-tion of every legislative district will be about 19 percent higher than it was in 2000. For example, the average number people in a house district will have grown from about 67,000 to about 80,000 and a senate district from about 160,000 to about 190,000. All this means an increased workload of constituent service for every legislator. With the increased workload will come more calls for more staff support and for a change from part-time to full-time legislators.

Politicians often like to invoke the term “fuzzy math” when it comes to criticizing their opponents’ tax or spend-ing policies. Perhaps none of the previous references to fuzzy math come close to the state of North Carolina’s de-cision to release 20 prisoners — all given life sentences — after being in prison for fewer than 40 years.

In this instance, government has utterly failed at doing its most basic task enshrined in our nation’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence. That docu-ment declares that governments are instituted to secure our rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

These 20 prisoners, most of whom violated the “unalien-able rights” of Americans by murdering or raping them, deserved their life sentences. Now our courts using fuzzy math apparently precipitated by various state laws are to be set free by month’s end.

Back in the 1970s, when these criminals were first put behind bars, a life sentence was defined as 80 years. One could have concluded that if prisoners stayed behind bars for 80 years, they would be in their late 90s or older when released and would not be all that likely to commit anoth-er violent crime.

But somewhere along the way, that 80 years got halved to 40 years. And under older rules of good time and gain time, which is supposed to reward prisoners who behave themselves, these murders and rapists are now eligible to be put back on the street.

Those eligible for release on Oct. 29 include:— Steven C. Wilson, 52, who was sentenced to life in a

Lenoir County court in 1978 for the 1970s abduction and rape of a 9-year-old girl.

— Alford Jones, 55, convicted of first-degree murder in Lenoir County in 1976 for shooting a man during a rob-bery attempt.

— Bobby Bowden, 60, who according to an Associated Press report has had 17 infractions in prison, including two for weapons possession, one for damaging property and others for disobeying orders. He’s serving two con-current “life” sentences for the murders of Larry Lovett and Normal Christman Ehrhart in Cumberland County on Aug. 7, 1975.

— John M. Montgomery, 58, who raped a 15-year-old girl in Forsyth County back in the 1970s after he escaped from prison.

These folks aren’t being released because they’ve been re-formed or are model prisoners. In fact, The Associated Press reports that they’ve racked up more than 250 infractions while in prison for fighting, weapons possession and theft.

They aren’t old and frail and they’re not being released for compassionate reasons so they can live out their re-maining days with their families.

Many of these people will be living in neighborhoods across the state. Some will have to register as sex offend-ers, if that’s any comfort to anyone.

Our leaders in Raleigh need to put their best legal minds together and figure out a way to prevent this from happen-ing again. Life sentences should mean life sentences.

Meanwhile, those same leaders should understand that this will only increase the cynicism that North Carolin-ians have about their government.

service. “All of those are attri-

butes that our Alex had,” Pat Kahle said.

Alex Kahle, 17, was chosen to represent her school in 2007, but was killed a week before the parade.

Pat Kahle said her daughter was a straight-A student with a heart for giving back to the community. She also had the “affection and ability to connect with young children,” she said, call-ing the partnership with Union Smart Start “meant to be.”

Once high school rep-resentatives are chosen, Smart Start organizes a committee of local busi-ness and civic leaders to

interview the girls and pick the winner. Tiffany Estep of Marvin Ridge High School wore last year’s crown.

Smart Start is a non-profit organization sup-porting the health and education of young chil-dren. The group helps coordinate parade activi-ties.

The first golf clas-sic, held last fall, raised $12,000.

A third of that went to Estep; the rest of it into a savings account for future scholarships. Pat Kahle said the goal is to build the fund so that multiple scholarships can be given out each year — one reason she wants “as many golfers as we can get.”

Ninety-two golfers par-ticipated last year. This year’s event will also

include a silent auction. Gas cards, gift certifi-cates, a wine basket and Stone Table dinner for six prepared at home by chef Matthew Sganga are up for grabs.

This year’s parade princess will be crowned Nov. 5. All school repre-sentatives are in the pa-rade Nov. 22.

Registration for the Alex Kahle Golf Classic on Monday will begin at

10:30 a.m. at Rolling Hills Country Club in Monroe. Tee off is at 12:30 p.m.

Donations can be made to the Alex Kahle Memo-rial Scholarship Fund, c/o Citizens South Bank, P.O. Box 5044, Monroe, NC 28111.

For more information or to register, call 704-221-3301 or write to alexkahl-ememorial@gmail.com. The cost is $100 per golfer, with a $400 top prize.

Bailout CEOs face 90 percent paycutAt AIG, executive pay cut to $200,000; bonuses and other compensation also cut

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administra-tion will order companies that received huge govern-ment bailouts last year to slash the salaries of their top executives by an aver-age of 90 percent and cut their total compensation in half, a person familiar with the decision said Wednesday.

The cuts apply to the 25 highest paid executives at the seven companies

that received the most as-sistance, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been an-nounced. Smaller compa-nies and those that have repaid the bailout money, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not af-fected.

The Treasury is expect-ed to announce the cuts within the next few days.

Kenneth Feinberg, the special master at Trea-sury appointed to handle compensation issues as part of the government’s $700 billion financial bail-out package, is making the pay decisions.

The seven companies are Bank of America Corp., American Inter-national Group Inc., Citi-group Inc., General Mo-tors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.

It was unclear exactly how much the executives would be allowed to make, or how that would be de-termined.

However, at the finan-cial products division of AIG, the giant insur-ance company which has received taxpayer assis-tance valued at more than $180 billion, no top ex-ecutive will receive more than $200,000 in total compensation, the person

familiar with Feinberg’s plan said.

The administration also will warn AIG that it must significantly reduce the $198 million in bonuses promised to employees in its financial services divi-sion, the arm of the com-pany whose risky trades caused its downfall.

The pay restrictions for all seven companies will require any execu-tive seeking more than

$25,000 in special benefits — things such as country club memberships, pri-vate planes and company cars — to get permission for those perks from the government.

Until now, these compa-nies were only required to provide guidelines for the use of such luxuries. The inspector general at Trea-sury who oversees the bailout program found a range of standards.

the development would cause, 25 residents spoke against the project. Sev-en spoke in favor of the plan.

One resident concern that appeared to weight on commissioners was a

possible discrepancy in the application process. Historic Ventures origi-nal application included a parcel of land owned by the county; opponents argued that the applica-tion was unacceptable unless county empow-ered the company to act on its behalf. One of the developers said Tuesday

that the parcel had been dropped from the plan, but commissioners still registered concerns.

“I have a question of the validity of the appli-cation,” Walker said.

The developer’s team left quietly following the board’s decision and Patch said he had no comment.

Resident Gay Diller, who opposed the project, said she hopes the devel-opers come back with something that is more harmonious with the town.

“I think they have an idea now of what we want,” she said.

Walmart ups price-cutting competition

NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart, which has ridden low prices to dominate the U.S. retail scene, fur-ther stepped up its game in price cutting Wednes-day.

The world’s largest re-tailer said it will cut prices each week on thousands of items, from bananas to board games, through the holiday season. The first group of cuts hit Wednes-day.

“We will not be beaten on price,” said Eduardo Castro-Wright, vice chair-man of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and leader of its U.S. business.

Castro-Wright was ad-dressing analysts at a two-day meeting that be-gan Wednesday in Rogers, Ark., a few miles from the company’s headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. The meeting is being broad-cast over the Web.

Wal-Mart, also the larg-est U.S. grocery seller and overall retailer, said it hopes shoppers will see a widening gap between

prices at its stores and those of its rivals.

John Fleming, its chief merchandising officer in the U.S., told investors that Wal-Mart’s audits show its prices for fre-quently purchased gro-cery items were recently at least 14 percent lower than at leading national supermarkets on the same items. The difference on those items was about 12 percent a year ago, he said.

Wal-Mart CEO and president Mike Duke said the company plans to grow further in the U.S. and abroad and is com-mitted to paring down its expenses by taking still greater advantage of its sheer size and by increas-ing sales productivity in its stores.

Duke told investors that “there is no retail compet-itor — here in the United States or anywhere in the world — that can deliver the kind of growth that Wal-Mart can over the next several years.”

Encourage your children to read the newspaper.

DEAR ABBY: I work in a call center with 35 other workers. Recently our supervisor hired a woman who is mentally ill. We acknowledge that she has a right to work and, for the most part, she appears to be capable.

The problem is she hears “voices” speaking to her and often responds to them. Other times she “hears” co-workers seated behind her plotting to kill her, which, of course, is not true. She disrupts those around her by constantly ask-ing if they can hear what oth-ers are saying about her and what she should do about it.

We have spoken to our su-pervisor about our concerns. His answer is, “Just be quiet and it will be OK.” We don’t dislike her -- in fact, we’re sympathetic -- but we resent the position we have been placed in. None of us have been trained to deal with

mental health issues. Have you any suggestions on how to handle this? -- UNEASY IN OHIO

DEAR UNEASY: Your su-pervisor is mistaken. Just be-ing quiet is not the answer be-cause the voices the woman is hearing are in her head. She’s acting this way because she has gone off her medication.

This may be a workplace safety issue. Therefore, you and your co-workers must in-sist that the supervisor take action to ensure that she’s not posing a threat to all of you.

***DEAR ABBY: Would it be

inappropriate or tacky if I had a mother/daughter dance at my daughter’s wedding? I know it’s a father/daughter tradition, and my husband will obviously have his dance with her, but I’d like to have a shot at it, too.

My reason is purely selfish. Having lost my son two years ago, I will never experience the mother/son dance we were supposed to share at his wedding the year he died.

Is this crazy? Horribly in-appropriate? Am I being too selfish? -- SENTIMENTAL IN YONKERS

DEAR SENTIMENTAL: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your son. The mother/daughter dance is something you need to discuss with your daughter and her fi-ance. What you have in mind is unusual. However, it would

be selfish only if you were to pressure your daughter into it over her objections.

***DEAR ABBY: I am extreme-

ly thin and have struggled for years with eating disorders and an unhealthy relation-ship with food. It’s difficult for me to go out with family and friends because everyone watches me -- from what I or-der to how much I consume -- and comments on it. If they decide I haven’t eaten enough, they make hurtful comments about my weight.

What I need people to un-derstand is that it is just as hurtful to make fun of some-one who is thin by calling him names such as “Stick” or “Bean Pole” as it is to mock a fat person.

Some of us are thin because we are ill, whether it is physi-cally or emotionally. Making fun of us is tasteless, hurtful

and unhelpful. -- ROBERT IN N.Y.C.

DEAR ROBERT: I’m glad you wrote, because your letter provides me with the opening to remind my readers that joking about someone’s ap-pearance isn’t clever or funny. It’s cruel. While the target may take those comments with apparent good humor, no one likes to be ridiculed. And frankly, when it happens, it demeans the speaker more than the person at which it is aimed.

ASTRO-GRAPHBy Bernice Bede Osol

You’re likely to have far bet-ter earning potential in the year ahead, but it will still take pru-dent resource management to put you ahead in life. Don’t let those extra bucks burn a hole in your pocket.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you see others aren’t receptive to your ideas, there’s likely to be something wrong with your presentation. They might feel you’re forcing your views on them or think the ideas are a bit strange.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Before you pass along informa-tion about what you think you know, be sure that you have the facts straight. You might be har-boring misconceptions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Monies upon which you’re counting may unexpect-edly run into a snag and be withheld. Until the funds are safely in your bank account,

don’t consider anything a fait accompli.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do not ignore your better judgment and go blindly along with someone who is unde-pendable or ill informed. There’s no reason to think this person has things right this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Any irresponsible habits are likely to catch up with you. Un-fortunately, that closet where you’ve been stuffing all those unfinished jobs might finally give way.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Selecting the wrong companion could force you to explain your way out of a complicated situa-tion. Be more discriminating.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Unless your objectives are clearly defined, you can expect to get off to a bad start that will take you no place fast. Once this happens, it could be difficult to get back on track.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your ego out of the picture, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t understand, especially

with regard to a critical assign-ment. Play it smart.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Avoid anything to do with buy-ing or selling if you can. It will not be one of your better days for doing either because in each instance, your thinking is likely to be off track.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t ask just anyone for advice on something important to you. You’ll get plenty of suggestions, but if you act on one and it turns out badly, it will compound your problems even further.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Leave plenty of room for repair, because if your methods are too firmly structured and you run into a problem, there will be no room left to patch things up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you don’t have the pa-tience to listen closely to what a good friend is saying, a mis-understanding is likely to occur. Sadly, it will be difficult to patch things up.

and detailing business, al-though business is up and down with the weather, he said.

He still receives boxes of food, but also joins about 50 other volunteers in distrib-uting it. “We needed help down here,” he said. “Plus, I get my food faster.”

Haney said that is often the way it works — former or current clients turn into volunteers.

“Some of these people I’ve known for a long time and know that they have worked,” volunteer Ceci-lia Mills said, but with the economy, a lot of them are out of work. “It’s a blessing to everybody out here. We try our best to help every-body who comes through the line.”

Mills does not receive

the food herself, but has volunteered all year long. The school bus driver has also volunteered with the Christmas Bureau — an-other function of DSS — since 2003. That’s where she will be Monday.

Food for the commod-ity distribution program comes from the N.C. De-partment of Agriculture. Each participating county receives a certain allot-ment. “We always take

what they give us and ask for additional just because our lines are growing so much,” Haney said.

Each family up to three members gets a box worth $35 to $40. Families of four or more receive a box worth $60 to $65, she said, adding that the food should last at least two weeks.

Food can include deli ham, peanuts, peanut but-ter, beef stew, noodles, to-mato sauce, green beans, pears, oatmeal, orange juice, rice and milk, along with other items. Haney said it is the same food used in schools and simi-lar government programs.

Haney expected some families to be turned away by the end of the day. A few were turned away in September, and the last 100 families in line got only a few items. “We’ll have that problem again today,” she said.

Applications will be available in January.

How many can DSS programs feed?

Prior to the economic downturn, the Depart-ment of Social Services typically fed fewer than 500 families through its food distribution program. The program runs four times a year.

Last October, the pro-gram fed 800 families. By September, that number ballooned to 1,680.

DSS volunteer services coordinator Gloria Haney said only the first 500 peo-ple receive numbers. Both this time and last, all 500 were handed out by 7:30 a.m., more than an hour before doors opened. Those who do not get a number stand in line in hopes of claiming leftovers.

The Monroe High boys soc-cer team cruised to an easy 4-0 road win over North Stanly on Wednesday.

Jesus Cornejo scored twice for Monroe (11-3, 10-2 RRC), in-cluding the first off an assist form Ranalfo Marban and the second coming from a pass from Dan-iel Cornejo.

F e r n a n d o Estevez scored two unassisted goals and Ra-fael Martinez had two saves in goal for the Redhawks.

Monroe plays at league-lead-ing Cuthbertson High today starting at 6 p.m.

“We’ve got everybody play-ing now after some early sea-son injuries and we fell good going into (today),” said Mon-roe coach Rick Kukor, “The team is finally starting to come together and we’ve stated scor-ing goals and have been keep-ing our opponents’ goals lim-ited.”

The Redhawks are ranked 13 in the 1A poll, according to eurosportscoreboard.com, and are only 1.5 games behind Cuthbertson in the league standings. A win tonight would give each team two losses in the conference.

Monroe has locked up the top 1A seed for the state tourna-ment and is hoping at least for a share of the conference title.

Cavs dominate BerryIn Charlotte, Cuthbertson

(14-3, 12-1 RRC) continued its quest for the Rocky River Conference championship Wednesday with an easy 7-0 win over Berry Academy.

WeDDiNgtONThe Weddington High volley-

ball team defeated Marvin Ridge for the Southern Carolina 3A/4A Conference Tournament Cham-pionship at WHS on Wednesday.

The Warriors are 3-0 against Marvin Ridge this season and have not lost a single set to any team in the SCC.

The Mavericks came out stagnant, trailing 17-5 early and dropping the first set to the War-riors 25-17.

Set two showed what the Mav-ericks could accomplish when in rhythm, but also showed their inexperience with only one

senior, compared to Wedding-ton’s four. Marvin Ridge opened the set leading 7-0, returning a number of potential Wedding-ton kills and playing their most aggressive, yet sound defense of the season, according to MR coach Brook Hammers.

“The thing is, I know we can do it and the girls know we can do it and I think that we proved to ourselves that we can do it, but that was definitely the best I’ve seen us play,” Hammers said. “We were digging balls and

just relentless – and it’s fun to play like that.”

Although the Mavs were up early, the Warriors fired back with a 7-0 run of their own with consistent serving from sopho-more Jordan Davis – who had eight aces through the match, along with 16 digs.

Neither team established a comfortable lead after 7-all, but as Weddington led 17-16, they set up a 7-2 run, taking the set 25-18.

WHS coach Carrie Pow-ell admits that she was con-cerned with her team trail-ing the set early, but says she never lost confidence in her team’s abilities.

MONROeIt’s desperation time for the foot-

ball teams at Parkwood and Sun Val-ley High.

Both squads enter Friday’s match-up with an 0-2 record in the Southern Carolina Conference, meaning one team will find itself at the bottom of the league following the outcome.

The Spartans (5-3 overall) are com-ing off a heartbreaking 44-41 loss to Marvin Ridge and have lost two league games by a combined five points. They also dropped a 30-28 de-cision to Anson County on Oct. 9.

Despite the disappointing losses, Sun Valley sophomore quarterback Ryan Smith has been on a roll of late, throwing for 11 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last four games. Smith leads Union County with an average of 184.0 passing yards per game.

Sophomore tailback Jadarrius Williams rushed for a career-high 232 yards on 18 carries last Friday. He also had two TD runs that cov-ered 80 and 73 yards.

MONROeThe Piedmont High boys soc-

cer team extended its winning streak to eight games Wednes-day night with a very physical 2-0 road win over Union Acad-emy.

The Panthers (11-6-1, 11-3 Rocky River Conference) came out slow as the Cardinals (5-6-1) controlled the first half and put four shots on goal compared to just one for the Panthers.

But Piedmont owned the sec-ond half, con-trolling the ball on UA’s side of the field and not allowing a single shot to get to their goalie, Mason Montgomery, who finished

with four saves.With leading scorer Jonas

Nader out with a knee injury,

senior TJ Doster continued to supply the goals for the Pan-thers.

With 31 minutes left in the game, Doster found the back of the net off a pass from Tony Tar-ango to put Piedmont up 1-0.

The Panthers were not able to get many shots in the sec-ond half, but the last one broke

the Cardinals as Tarango once again found Doster for the sec-ond and final goal of the game with 13 minutes left.

Cardinals goalkeeper, Hayden Bader, finished with three saves on just five shots.

“It was a rough first half,” said Panthers coach Bryan Pat-rick, “The second half we were in control and we were able to possess the ball pretty well so Mason was not in a whole lot of danger back there.

FrustratedHamlin out of contention for Cup championship 3B

WHO’S NEWSCharlotte wants to host ACC title game

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference wants to find a city that will embrace and support its

struggling football championship game.

Charlotte thinks it’s the spot, and the heavy hitters

from the city’s business com-

munity lined up Wednesday to woo commissioner John Swofford.

Former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl, Quail Hollow Championship chief Johnny Harris and others vowed that Charlotte will impress the ACC enough through ticket sales and auxiliary events for the 2010 and ’11 title games that the league won’t need to return to Florida, where the game has struggled to draw fans.

“It ought to be here in Charlotte,” Harris said in a news conference at Bank of America Stadium. “Our pledge is to make this not only a game, but make it an event.”

The game instead has been mostly a flop since it’s creation in 2005, and Swofford said he had no problems with creating a permanent home. The key will be if Charlotte can do what Jacksonville and Tampa have not: sell tickets and generate buzz.

“We’re looking for that consis-tency of local support that basically gives a base so that the game from an attendance standpoint is going to be successful regardless of the loca-tion of the two teams that play in it,” Swofford said.

The ACC began its football title game in Jacksonville after expand-ing to 12 schools. It drew 72,749 in 2005, then had announced crowds of 62,850 and 53,212.

The ACC then pulled the game out of Jacksonville, giving it to Tampa in 2008 and ’09 and Charlotte for two years after that. The crowd last year was announced at 53,927, but the turnstile count was about half that.

Crabtree could start in first NFL game

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers ran interference for Michael Crabtree on Wednesday.

Crabtree grabbed the playbook from his locker and took off before San Francisco’s afternoon practice. The team wants its rookie wide receiver and top draft pick to get all his football work in he can before his highly anticipated NFL debut Sunday at Houston in his home state.

Crabtree will play a lot against the Texans — and will probably even start.

Crabtree, the 10th overall draft pick in 2009, finally signed a six-year deal with $17 million guaranteed on Oct. 7.

Brees remembersDolphins’ courtship

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — The quarter-back who got away is finally coming to Miami to play Sunday.

Drew Brees will play the Dolphins for the first time since they courted him as a free agent in 2006. He has since thrown for 15,310 yards and 101 touchdowns for the New

Orleans Saints, while the Dolphins are on their seventh starting QB and third head coach in the past four seasons.

The Saints outbid the Dolphins, then coached by Nick Saban. New Orleans offered Brees $10 million guaranteed even though he was recovering from a serious shoulder injury.

“All due respect to the Miami organization and coach Saban,” Brees said Wednesday, “but I didn’t feel like they believed in me and my ability to come back from that injury like the Saints did.”

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — U.S. Open champion Lu-cas Glover brought a new set of irons to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf to start getting ready for next year, and it worked out beautifully in Bermuda at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

Glover briefly gave up the lead to British Open champion Stew-

art Cink until running off three straight birdies around the turn at Port Royal Golf Course and closing with a 5-under 66 for a five-shot victory.

Masters champion Angel Ca-brera also had a 66 and finished second after Cink bogeyed the last hole for a 70. PGA champion Y.E. Yang, still struggling with

jet lag after a flight full of delays from South Korea, shot 70 to fin-ish last among the four major champions.

“I brought out new irons this week with the new grooves just to try and see how they work, because I wanted a couple of rounds under my belt with this new model,” Glover said. “So

Nike made a good set, and I think I like them.”

A new rule changing the di-mensions of grooves in irons starts next year, although it is expected to affect wedges the most, and Glover kept his old wedges in the bag this week be-cause he didn’t want to give up too much of an advantage.

Ultimately, he won with his putter, especially the birdie putts on the ninth, 10th and 11th holes to pull away. Cink made bogey on the 12th and 13th, eliminat-ing any drama in Bermuda.

Glover finished at 11-under 131 and earned $600,000, push-ing his total for the year over $4 million.

John Lewthwaite scored twice for the Cavs while Jason Drain, Matt Cureton,

Alex Herring, Trent Johnson and Riley Sloop each found the back of the net once.

Cureton and Sloop also had two as-sists apiece while Dannon Fields and Brandon Reid each had one.

The Cardinals did not put a shot on

goal during the game.Cuthbertson can lock up the No. 1 seed

for 2A with two more wins, and can lock up the outright conference champion-ship with a win against Monroe today and a win against either West Stanly or North Stanly next week.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Steve Smith first used humor when asked if he saw a difference this season in his struggling quarterback, Jake Delhom-me.

“He has a little growth on his chest, but nothing (else),” Smith said, smiling.

When a reporter followed up Wednesday by telling the Carolina receiver that Delhomme, with 10 inter-ceptions, has never been through a stretch like this in his career, Smith jumped in.

“I haven’t either, I don’t think,” Smith said. “It’s new territory, unforeseen terri-tory.”

Indeed. There are 50 re-ceivers in the NFL with more yards than the four-time Pro Bowl pick’s 259. His measly 21 catches rank 49th, and he still hasn’t caught a touchdown pass through five games.

Smith’s frustrations boiled over Sunday after catching just on pass for four yards in

the Panthers’ 28-21 win over Tampa Bay, when told two reporters that “I’m no longer an asset to this team.”

Smith didn’t back down from the comments on Wednesday, but appeared ready to move on.

“Am I going to apologize or go back on what I said? No, that’s at the moment and that’s how I felt,” Smith said. “I don’t think I was disrespect-ful. I don’t think I disrespected any-body. I actually don’t believe that I singled out any one particular person. That’s how I was received by the individ-uals that I had conversations with, an open dialogue.”

Delhomme said he talked to Smith and stressed there’s nothing he’d like to do more than get the ball to his play-maker. Trouble is, the double teams that Smith normally

faces have been become near-ly constant.

“This is a competitive guy, who has a drive and a fire like no other,” Delhomme said of Smith. “I’m sure he was frus-trated. I get frustrated, too, because I’m trying to get him the ball. I know what he can do with it in his hands.”

Smith led the NFL in receptions, yards

receiving and touchdown catch-es in 2005, and has been double-teamed ever since. But Carolina was

still able to get him the ball. He caught 78

passes for 1,421 yards and six touchdowns last year and made the Pro Bowl de-spite being suspended for two games.

This year, though, Smith has been a virtual nonfactor. Part of the problem is that Delhomme has been throw-ing it to the other team so

much. Another is that the bracketing coverage Smith faces is even more intense. That’s happening because fellow receivers Muhsin Mu-hammad and Dwayne Jar-rett have done little to create attention and — until Sun-day — the running game had been a disappointment.

The Panthers hope they can get Smith free, which will in turn get Delhomme out of his funk. He complet-ed just 9 of 17 passes for 65 yards Sunday. He’s tied with New York Jets rookie Mark Sanchez for the most inter-ceptions and his 56.8 passer rating is fourth-worst among NFL starters.

“I wouldn’t believe any-body in the passing game, me or Moose or Jake would say, ’It’s pretty darn good,”’ Smith said. “I think you al-ways need improvement. The year we had last year statisti-cally there were opportuni-ties that we missed.”

Hamlin hoping to salvage seasonCHARLOTTE (AP) — Forgive

Denny Hamlin if he’s a bit frus-trated these days.

He thought he had a chance this year to win his first NA-SCAR championship. Instead, he’s facing five final weeks of simply trying to salvage his season.

Back-to-back bad weeks have taken Hamlin out of contention in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He’s currently 11th in the standings, 372 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, and his ranking hardly reflects how well he’s been running.

“If they gave points for us running up front, we’d maybe have a shot at this champion-ship,” Hamlin said. “But, unfor-

tunately, they don’t. It’s only on finishing position. That’s bitten us right at the very end.”

Through the first five Chase races, Hamlin only had one bad run, a 22nd at Dover. But he re-bounded the next week at Kan-sas to close the gap on the points leaders and head into Califor-nia with a chance to climb back into title contention.

Instead, driver error while leading late led to a race-ending crash and a 37th-place finish. If his championship hopes didn’t end that day, they certainly did Saturday night at Charlotte when his engine failed after leading 54 laps. He finished 42nd.

“It is disappointing because

you look at the stat sheet — it looks terrible when you finish 11th or 12th, when you’ve been the second-, third-, fourth-best car pretty much all year long,” Hamlin said.

He’s not been the best, but Hamlin has been very good this season and thought he had a real chance at the Sprint Cup title after a long overdue win at Richmond in the final race before the Chase. The momen-tum and confidence was enough to convince the Joe Gibbs Rac-

ing team that they could keep pace with Johnson and the rest of Hendrick Motorsports this season.

For it to be over at the mid-point of the Chase is something Hamlin is going to carry with him long into the offseason.

“I’m going to look back on it, and obviously be very dis-appointed,” he said. “We came into the Chase with so much momentum, and have per-formed extremely well on the race track. Just a couple of mis-takes take you out of it. That’s what’s going to be disappoint-ing to me.”

Particularly since Hamlin has made significant strides this season in making the per-

sonal adjustments needed to become a title contender. He vowed in January to be more of a team leader and fill the void left by two-time champion Tony Stewart, and he succeeded in some respects, becoming the only JGR driver to make the Chase.

He knocked his home track of Richmond, which had tor-mented him since his 2006 rookie season, off his to-do list and he’s done a decent job of handling adversity. Previously regarded as moody and a bit re-served, Hamlin has also opened up this year and given outsid-ers a chance to see a different side of him — namely, his per-sonality.

HAMLIN

PanthersContinued from Page 1B

The transition from the first half to the sec-ond half was real big. I think in the first half we let some things get to us, some calls didn’t go our way and we let them get

to us. The second half we played our game.”

Doster is happy with the way his team is play-ing right now.

“We’re feeling pretty confident and we feel like we’re going to close the season out pretty good,” said Doster. We hope Cuthbertson gets a few losses. Our whole team has picked up the slack

(since Nader went down) and we our doing pretty good right now.”

Piedmont will need some help to obtain the No. 1 2A seed for the con-ference. Cuthbertson cur-rently has two less losses in the league.

The Cavaliers have three games remaining, so the Panthers need Monroe and either West

or North Stanly to pull off an upset to have a shot at first place.

The Panthers play Cen-tral Academy on Monday at home starting at 6 p.m. and will finish out the reg-ular season next Wednes-day at home against West Stanly.

The Cardinals play at Forest Hills on Monday starting at 6 p.m.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Entering the season, this seemed like the perfect setup for North Carolina and Florida State: a nation-ally televised game, the first Thursday night home date in Tar Heels’ history and a matchup of contenders in the Atlantic Coast Conference divi-sion races.

Reality has turned out much differently.

These are teams that have gone from nationally ranked to a combined 0-5 in the ACC heading into late October. One boasts the league’s best offense and its worst defense, the other

has the best defense and the worst offense. And both have plenty of unfulfilled expectations and frustrated fans. At least the Tar Heels (4-2, 0-2) can still claim the benefit of that national

TV audience to show-case Butch Davis’ program and the novelty of the first Thursday nighter at Kenan Stadium.

“It’s going to be a special night,”

North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates said. “It’s going to be a different feel.”

Probably, but it’s a lot less glamorous than ev-eryone expected when the schedules were set. Bobby

Bowden’s Seminoles (2-4, 0-3) were ranked 18th to start the year, but they’ve lost three straight games — all by 10 or fewer points — and have had to work through the growing distraction of Bowden’s uncertain future at the program he built into a national power.

No one has to tell the Seminoles what they need to do more to quiet all the chatter.

“Knowing the potential we have and the talent we have on this team, I really think we shouldn’t be 2-4,” receiver Bert Reed said. “But it is what it is. We have to learn from everything we’ve done and not let it happen again.”

Big collision

Sun Valley junior linebacker Austin Smith (15) makes a tackle during the Spartans’ 27-21 win at Olympic during Week 3 while teammate Michael Stein (4), a senior safety, assists. The Spartans have been one of the most exciting football teams in the county, with five of their eight games being decided by seven points or less.

FootballContinued from Page 1B

The Rebels (3-5 overall) have not only lost two straight, but have dropped four of their last five. Parkwood’s only win during the stretch was against 1A Cen-tral Academy, which is just 1-7 on the year.

Turnovers have been a big is-sue for Parkwood, especially in conference play. The Rebels had four turnovers in a loss to Wed-dington and followed with three turnovers in last Friday’s loss to Porter Ridge.

A bright spot offensively for Parkwood has been the produc-tion of senior tailback Kemp Lotharp.

A 6-foot-1, 190-pounder, Lotharp ranks fourth in the county in rushing with an average of 113.5 yards per game. In six games this season, he has 96 carries for 681 yards and six touchdowns.

“I knew we had the capability of coming back and I have a lot of confidence in my passers and my hitters,” Powell said. “I know we were a little bit off I think in our passes, but Taylor (Linton) handled it, she got to the balls when she could... Kaitlyn Duck-worth had a lot of sets tonight on passes or where Taylor was playing defense.

“Kaitlyn Duckworth did a great job at coming in coming in and getting some of those as-sists too.”

Set three was tight once again, tied up at 12-all, but too many errors caused Marvin Ridge to fall 25-19, allowing Weddington to claim the tournament cham-pionship.

“[Marvin Ridge] had us fight-ing every point,” Powell said.

“Even when we got up ,we knew they had the abilities to come back, and they did.”

“I think they played with a lot of intensity, more than they did last time we saw them. I think they felt like they were putting it on the line and I think they did a great job doing it.”

Amy Schwartz led the War-riors with 14 kills and four blocks with Allison Rickher right be-hind her with 12 kills and six blocks. Julia Moreira earned 12 kills, Linton set up 36 assists and Alex Kachulis provided 32 digs.

For the Mavericks, Ashlyn Sunseri led in scoring with eight kills and four assists, while Jac-qui Spurgeon had eight kills and three assists.

Weddington will host States-ville High on Saturday, the fourth seed in the North Pied-mont Conference, as they begin the 3A state playoffs.

Marvin Ridge will host an opponent that is TBA the same day.

Nance.DATE, TIME AND PLACE OF SALE:The sale will be held on October 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at the door of the Un-ion County Courthouse, Monroe, North Carolina.PROPERTY TO BE SOLD:The following real property to be sold "sight unseen" is located in Union County, North Carolina:See "Exhibit A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Be-cause the legal description is too voluminous to pub-lish in the newspaper, ref-erence is made to the sub-ject legal description re-corded as part of the sub-ject Deed of Trust as de-scribed in the case caption of this proceeding. Includ-ed is a 2005 Clayton Colo-ny Bay manufactured home bearing serial no. CLF006969NCAB.TERMS OF SALE:Pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. §45-21.10(b) and the terms of the Deed of Trust, any successful bidder may be required to deposit with the Trustee or Clerk of Superior Court im-mediately upon the conclu-sion of the sale a cash de-posit to be determined by the greater of 5% of the bid or $750.00. Unless the Substitute Trustee agrees otherwise, the successful bidder will be required to tender the "full purchase price" so bid in cash or cer-tified check at the time the Trustee tenders to him a Deed to the property or at-tempts to tender such Deed, and should the suc-cessful bidder fail to pay the full amount, then the successful bidder shall re-main liable as provided for in N.C.G.S. §45-21.30. By submitting your bid, you agree that the "full pur-chase price" shall be de-fined as the amount of bid plus the Trustee's commis-sion as defined in the sub-ject Deed of Trust plus the costs of the action, unless the Trustee agrees other-wise. For example, if the amount of bid is $20,000.00 and the trust-ee's commission is defined in the subject Deed of Trust as 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale, then the "full purchase price" shall equal $21,000.00 plus the costs of the action. Atender of Deed shall be de-fined as a letter from the Trustee to the successful bidder offering to record the Deed upon receipt of full purchase price as de-scribed herein and listed in said letter. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason such as a bankruptcy filing, the sole remedy of the suc-cessful bidder is the return of the deposit. As to any manufactured home, the following shall apply: Any not considered real proper-ty is being foreclosed pur-suant to N.C.G.S. §25-9-604, if necessary; there is no warranty that any is ac-tually located on the sub-ject tract; and there is no warranty given by the Sub-stitute Trustee as to wheth-er said home is real proper-ty or personal property. The sale will be made sub-ject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, assessments, re-strictions and easements of record, if any.ADDITIONAL NOTICE:Take notice that an order for possession of the prop-erty may be issued pur-suant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the proper-ty is sold.
