A handful of teachers
will soon be reassigned to
other schools, and three
more might be hired.
After analyzing stu-
dent enrollment at the
20th day of school, Union
County Public Schools is
shuffling teachers from
overstaffed to under-
staffed schools.
As of Tuesday, there
were 39,068 students in
UCPS, 1,261 fewer than
anticipated.
David Clarke, assis-
tant superintendent for
human resources, called
the projections “soft
numbers”; they were the
schools’ best estimates of
how many students they
would have. Projections
are often made several
months before school
starts and before kinder-
garten registration.
It’s normal for projec-
tions to be off, Superin-
tendent Ed Davis said,
and in the past, UCPS
has been able to hire
more people for under-
staffed schools and keep
personnel at overstaffed
schools if that overage
was slight.“We don’t have that
flexibility now,” Davis
said.Final allotted positions
depend on actual enroll-
ment, taken the 20th day
of school. North Caroli-
na allotted 1,849 teachers
for UCPS this year, later
asking the school system
to revert a chunk of fund-
ing back to the state.
Most of those cuts
came from 92 teaching
positions that were va-
cated by retiring teach-
ers, or had not yet been
filled, Clarke said.
No full-contract teach-
ers lost their jobs, and
other positions were held
open in case the system
was again asked to give
positions back.
UCPS now has about
1,730 teachers.
Davis said there is a
possibility that the state
will ask UCPS to cut more
positions, but doesn’t
expect that to mean lay-
offs.The extra positions left
unfilled provide a “cush-
ion” to avoid that, he said.
The state will determine
whether to cut additional
positions by the 40th day
of school.Right now, the concern
is balancing out the stu-
dent-teacher ratio.
“If a school is un-
derallotted, where are
their greatest needs for
teachers?” Clarke said.

Satiate their hunger.
Support local businesses.
Help the less fortunate.
Residents who attended
the first Taste of Union
event multi-tasked in a
noble way Saturday.
Proceeds totaling
$14,563 from the event,
which showcased more
than 20 county restau-
rants, went toward Opera-
tion Reach Out, a 25-year-
old non-profit in Monroe
that provides grocery and
fuel assistance, clothing,
counseling and other pro-
grams to low-income resi-
dents.Residents could buy
tickets for the event in
advance for $20 and for
$25 at the door. In return,
they experienced an eve-
ning of free and diverse
food, music form local
musicians and a chance
to enter a raffle for a 42-
inch television and a $500
grocery gift card. There
was also a silent auction.
Modene Howie, an Op-
eration Reach Out board
member and its co-found-
er, got the idea for Taste
of Union from a Mineral
Springs fundraiser known
as The World’s Largest
Buffet, which asked resi-
dents to supply food dish-
es. Proceeds went toward
local improvement proj-
ects such as landscaping.
“Modene finally got
her big fundraiser,” said
Kathy Ipapo, the organi-
zation’s board president.
“What I’m excited about is
that all these people have
never heard of Operation
Reach Out before.”

Powwow abandons Indian Trail
Tribes move to Concord, citing steep fees
BY JASON deBRUYN
INDIAN TRAIL
After more than a quar-
ter century, the Indian
Trail Powwow will not re-
turn to Indian Trail.
“It broke some hearts
to know that we weren’t
going to be there,” said
Metrolina Native Ameri-
can Association board
member and powwow or-
ganizer Zeddie Emrich.
For 26 years, the pow-
wow was held at Indian
Trail Elementary, but the
rate to rent county and
public school sites in-
creased this year. Emrich
said rent went from $350
for the whole weekend in
2009 to $280 for the first
four hours and an ad-
ditional hourly fee after
that in 2009.
“We wish we were still
back there,” Emrich said,
but the price was prohibi-
tive. “We were partial to
Indian Trail.”
Town Mayor John
Quinn said he and the
Town Council are trying
to get the powwow back.
“It makes sense that
the Indian Trail Pow-
wow should be in Indian
Trail,” he said. “It’s going
to be missed.”
Quinn said the town
was working on a parks
project that could provide

BY TIFFANY LANE
Stallings will not fol-
low in Marvin’s footsteps
to adopt a golf cart ordi-
nance allowing residents
to drive carts on public
roads. The Town Council
voted unanimously Mon-
day to deny such an ordi-
nance.“I think it’s going to
burden our Police Depart-
ment,” Councilwoman
Renee Hartis said before
the vote. Other council
members shared her con-
cerns.Shannamara and Em-
erald Lake are among the
subdivisions that asked
for an ordinance, although
some residents did not
want one as restrictive as
the town proposed. Both
neighborhoods have golf
courses, and several resi-
dents want to drive golf
carts from their homes
to the neighborhood
clubhouse or pool, Town
Manager Brian Matthews
said.Marvin recently adopt-
ed its own golf cart ordi-
nance, effective Thursday.
Prior to the meeting,
Matthews said Stallings’
proposed ordinance mir-
rored Marvin’s “almost
word for word.”
“It was very similar to
what we needed,” he said,

THREE DIE IN FIRE Charterssue overcapitalfundingBY TIFFANY LANE
Staff WriterMONROE
Union Academy is suing
the state for a share of lot-
tery money and corporate
income taxes.
North Carolina estab-
lished charter schools in
1996, but limited the funds
they could
r e c e i v e
from the
state. Char-
ter schools
are public,
tuition-free
s c h o o l s
funded by
f e d e r a l ,
state and
local taxes
to pay for
teachers, textbooks and
some operational costs.
Union Academy’s opera-
tional costs are about $7
million per year, accord-
ing to finance officer Lynn
Kroeger.The lawsuit seeks mon-
ey from the state’s capital
outlay fund, which comes
from two sources. The
Public School Building
Capital Fund receives 14
percent of the money col-
lected by the N.C. Educa-
tion Lottery, and about
7.25 percent of corporate
income tax, although the
General Assembly divert-
ed the income tax contri-
bution until 2011.
Union Academy head-
master Raymond Reinsant
said a share of that money
could help provide a cen-
tral location for all its stu-
dents.Union Academy’s goal
is to move students from
its lower campus on Old
Charlotte Highway to its
upper campus on North
Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard. With no capi-
tal funding, though, there
is no money for another
building, Reinsant said.
Union County and the
Union County Board of
Education are named as
defendants in the lawsuit.
Some Union Academy
parents are listed as plain-
tiffs.Six other North Caro-
lina charter schools are
parties in the lawsuit, list-
ing their own counties and
school boards as defen-
dants. The suit was filed in
Mecklenburg County.

dent for Union County

Union County officials
are seeking a perma-
nent injunction to shut
down Plaza de Toros Rio
Grande.Thomas “Pinky” Marsh
has repeatedly and admit-
tedly bucked county offi-
cials and held rodeos and
saddle clubs at his farm on
Landsford Road in Marsh-
ville.After a May 7, 2007,
county Board of Adjust-
ments meeting, Marsh
was granted a special-use
permit to conduct “special
events/rodeo type activi-
ties” according to a court
file. Restrictions included
that, “‘Limited number
of rodeos to four per year;
each event limited to one
day’ and ‘conform to (N.C.
Department of Transpor-
tation) regulations and
specific recommenda-
tions, including two road
accesses to the Special
Event rodeo area.’”
In September 2007,
county land use adminis-
trator Lee Jensen ruled
that Marsh had violated
the special use permit
and issued a citation for
two violations on Oct. 12,
2007. On Oct. 25, 2007, the
Board of Adjustment re-
voked Marsh’s special use
permit.

Hunter found a human
femur Saturday morn-
ing, a discovery that
had investigators comb-
ing the Williams family
farm.Sally Williams’ neph-
ew was setting up a
hunting stand on the
90-acre farm between
Monroe and Wingate
near the Sheriff ’s Office
when he found the bone
near a creek bed. Depu-
ties combed the area for
much of the morning,
but found no other hu-
man remains.
The bone was taken
to a medical examiner’s
office in Mecklenburg
County. Union Medical
Examiner Carolyn Gor-
don said she could con-
firm only that it was a
human femur, but could
not say if it belonged to
a male or female, and
only that it was an adult
bone.“I come to no conclu-
sions,” she said, and said
her office will conduct a
full examination.
Sally Williams said
the discovery was unset-
tling.“You’re just kind of
like, ‘Ew,’” she said.
Williams added that
it appeared to her that
a hip replacement had
been done on the bone,
meaning an examiner
could possibly determine
who the bone belonged
to, but Gordon could not
confirm that before test
results are returned.

Tracy Thomas bought
a home in 2007, started a
new job in 2008 and lost
it a few months later.
Christmas looked slim
for her now 8-year-old
son.The sudden loss of in-
come coupled with a new
house payment “kind of
immobilizes you,” she said. It wasn’t
long before the single mom enrolled at
South Piedmont Community College,
where some friends mentioned the
Christmas Bureau of Union County.
Run by the Union County Depart-
ment of Social Services, the Christmas
Bureau counts on donors and spon-
sor families to provide gifts for Union
County residents, from children to the
elderly. The bureau is accepting dona-
tions, hoping to assist more than 2,000
families this season.
“I thought, ‘I can’t do this,’” Thomas
said. “I’ve never had to reach out to the
community for help.” Although she
was hesitant, Thomas signed up and
was connected to a sponsor couple from
Wingate University. The couple didn’t
have much money, either, she said, but
wanted to help someone else for Christ-
mas.“We all need each other,” she said,
tears coming to her eyes. Her son got
coloring books and new shoes; she re-
ceived mixing bowls and “the neatest
pocketbook.”
DSS also heads a commodity distribu-
tion program. Just over 1,300 families
took advantage of the program in May;
that increased to almost 1,700 families
in September.

County panel rejects voting districts
Committee will recommend adding two county commissioners to board
BY JASON deBRUYN

A county governance
committee rejected a dis-
trict-only representation
format.The committee agreed
to recommend that the
Union County Board of
Commissioners be in-
creased to seven mem-
bers, from its current
five, but has not made a
final recommendation on
how those seven should
be elected. The committee
eliminated the possibil-
ity of having no at large
members, however.
The governance com-
mittee is made up of rep-
resentatives from each of
Union’s 14 towns.
Marshville Mayor
Frank Deese voted in fa-
vor of having seven dis-
tricts.
“I feel like we need to
have district representa-
tion so that everyone can
be equally represented,”
he said. “Our House of
Representatives is on
districts, our state elec-
tions house and senate
are on districts. If it’s
good enough for the fed-
eral government and
good enough for the state
government why is it not
good enough for us?”
Deese did not say he saw
the committee’s desire for
at large candidates purely
as an east vs. west issue
in the county, though said
it plays a small part. The
two towns east of Mon-
roe have a combined 3,191
registered voters, while
11 towns west of Monroe
have 59,423 combined.

to draw will be looked at

trict to vote in a majority.

Unparalleled Integration of Care
Dr. Neal Goldberger is board certified in both Pain Medicine and Anesthesiology. After serving as a Lt. Colonel and anesthesiologist in the Army, he completed pain fellowships at University of Cincinnati and Vanderbilt University in Nashville and trained future physicians at Vanderbilt and University of Connecticut. Dr. Goldberger has practiced pain medicine for over 21 years.
“Pain is very personal,” says Goldberger. “We begin with a workup to find out specifically what’s generating the problem. It could be nerves, muscles, joints, or a combination of sources.
Because sources of pain frequently involve other specialty areas, patients at The Center for Pain Relief benefit from its close affiliation with four orthopedists, four rheumatologists and a hand surgeon through the integrated practice of Carolina Bone & Joint. “For example, if someone comes in with back pain that radiates down the leg, but also has trouble with their hip, there may be an orthopedic issue involved. If they have total aching throughout the body, they may have an underlying rheumatologic disorder. I’m able to promptly cross-refer within the practice, and integrate their care with one of our other specialists,” says Goldberger.
Patients visiting other physicians within the practice also benefit from Dr. Goldberger’s expertise. “We refer to each other as needed, and sort out how much is joint pain versus spine pain. Our patients receive very specialized, individualized care.”
Always motivated to stay on the leading edge of medicine, Carolina Bone & Joint also offers physical and occupational therapy and operates one of the largest clinical trial centers in the southeastern US.

Q. What is AMA DoctorFinder?AMA DoctorFinder provides comprehensive information on individual physicians from which you can select a physician or verify the credentials of a known physician. AMA DoctorFinder includes more than 814,000 AMA member and non-member doctors of medicine (MD) and doctors of osteopathy or osteopathic medicine (DO). AMA DoctorFinder does not include other licensed health care professionals such as dentists, optometrists, chiro-practors, nurses, or allied health personnel.Physician listings are based on data maintained in the AMA Physician Masterfile, the nation’s most comprehen-sive and unbiased physician database. Visit the Physician Education, Licensure, and Certification section of our web site for additional information.
Q. I searched for my physician by name and didn’t find him/her. Maybe I am doing something wrong when I enter the information. Do you have any sug-gestions on how to use the Search function effec-tively?Physicians are listed in AMA DoctorFinder by the proper spelling of their full name. Nicknames or shortened first names are not included. Use the last name and the state in which the physician resides to search by name. If your search produced too many results, try again, adding his or her first name. Use the “*” (the asterisk symbol, which acts as a “wildcard”) when adding the first initial of the first name: L* Smith. It will search on all “Smiths” that begin with “L”. You may also want to perform a “sounds-like” search, by checking the box provided on the search page, if you are unsure of the exact spelling of a name or city.
Q. How do I search for a physician by name or medi-cal specialty if I am not sure in which state he/she practices?AMA DoctorFinder requires that users know the state in which a physician is located when conducting a the search.The following Web sites may help you find a person and determine in what state they are located before search-ing on AMA DoctorFinder: Switchboard (http://www.switchboard.com), Yahoo People Search (http://www.ya-hoo.com/search/people) and ClassMates Online (http://www.classmates.com).

Can you please explain?Physician addresses included in AMA DoctorFinder re-flect either an office or residential location.
