PPL Corp. stock underperforms Wednesday when compared to competitorsJYYNA Report Highlights Sustainable Practices Transforming Britain's Tea Industry
By Mike London mike.london@salisburypost.com SALISBURY —Patricia DuBois Proctor Rendleman, known as Patsy, died on Dec. 6 at 97. She was a legend of Rowan County golf. She and her husband, Richard Rendleman, who passed away in 2002, were a dynamic duo in local golf for a long time, piling up championships at the Country Club of Salisbury. Both are in the Catawba Sports Hall of Fame, Richard for his strong playing career with the Indians, while Patsy was inducted in 2023 for her service to Catawba athletics, especially to women’s golf. She was instrumental in getting that program started in 1999. She was born in 1927, graduated from Boyden High in 1943 and was only 20 when she graduated from Catawba College with the Class of 1947. She was a majorette, an actress and a math major. She married Richard that sameyear. He was a little older and had been a standout golfer at Catawba (1938-41) before serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II. After the war, Richard was still swinging smoothly enough to qualify for the U.S. Open Championship in 1948, and he advanced to the third round of U.S. Amateur in 1951. He made 11 career holes-in-one and was a six-time Labor Day 4-Ball Champion and a five-time club champion at the Country Club of Salisbury. He also won club championships at Grandfather Golf and Country Club and Elk River. Patsy attacked golf seriously in 1946, taking lessons at the Country Club of Salisbury from pro Don Bush. She could hit it straight off the tee, she was an outstanding putter, and she was a tough competitor. Bush could see she had some talent for the game. In 1948, she won the Piedmont Women’s Golf Association Tournament held in Greensboro. That was a handicap tournament. She shot 85, but her handicap was 15 then, so that score was adjusted to a 70. She would get a lot more efficient with her strokes in the years ahead. In 1950, she was the Handicap Champion at the Country Club of Salisbury. She was down a hole going to No. 16, but she took 16 and 18 to win the event, 1-up. Par for the ladies was 76 at the Country Club of Salisbury in those days. Rendleman was challenging 76 by 1951 when she won the club championship in Salisbury for the first time. She was 1-over on the front nine and was 2-under on the back when she closed out the championship match, 4 and 3, on the 15th hole. Bush announced to the Post after that tournament that Patsy was “ready for bigger and better tournaments.” She won the Country Club of Salisbury club championship for the second time in 1954. She overwhelmed her opponent in the final, 8 and 7. In 1956, Rendleman threatened the course record for women at the Country Club of Salisbury. She shot a career-best 71, one off the course record. She won her third club championship that year. She won the two-day 1957 Piedmont Women’s Golf Tournament held at Sedgefield, beating a stout field by shooting 79 and 81. She added club championships in Salisbury in 1958 and 1959. In the 1959 championship match, she shot 2-under on the front nine and closed out the match, 5 and 4, on the 14th. That was her fifth club title and gave her some bragging rights at the dinner table. Her husband had won four club titles at that point. Rendleman added more club championships at the Country Club of Salisbury in 1960 and 1961, making it four in a row and seven in a decade. She won again in 1962 and made it six in a row in 1963. In 1962, she also won the Piedmont Women’s Golf Association Tournament held in Salisbury with a 79. In all, she would win 20 club championships, including 11 in Salisbury. She won a half-dozen club championships at Grandfather Golf and Country Club in Linville. She won there in 1974, 1975, 1980, 1983, 1987 and 1989. In 1990, a year in which she turned 63, she had what she called the finest victory of her career in the Linville Golf Club Invitational. She shot 75 in the championship match and won on a playoff hole. The field for that tournament included top golfers from many different states. She made two holes-in-one in her career and played six times for the Women’s Carolinas team, which included the best amateur players from North and South Carolina. They competed against the best from Virginia and West Virginia. She was involved in the community, served with distinction on numerous boards of directors during an active life, established the First Tee program in Salisbury and served a term as president of the Women’s Carolinas Golf Association. Catawba College annually honors both Rendlemans with golf tournaments. The Catawba women and many of their rivals play in the Patsy Rendleman Invitational at the Country Club of Salisbury every fall.
NoneBy MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a judge again Friday to throw out his hush money conviction, balking at the prosecution’s suggestion of preserving the verdict by treating the case the way some courts do when a defendant dies. They called the idea “absurd.” Related Articles National Politics | Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time National Politics | How ruling by a conservative Supreme Court could help blue states resist Trump policies National Politics | A nonprofit leader, a social worker: Here are the stories of the people on President Biden’s clemency list National Politics | Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she ‘sustained an injury’ on official trip to Luxembourg National Politics | Bank groups sue the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over a proposed cap on overdraft fees The Manhattan district attorney’s office is asking Judge Juan M. Merchan to “pretend as if one of the assassination attempts against President Trump had been successful,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a blistering 23-page response. In court papers made public Tuesday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books after Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed. They include freezing the case until Trump leaves office in 2029, agreeing that any future sentence won’t include jail time, or closing the case by noting he was convicted but that he wasn’t sentenced and his appeal wasn’t resolved because of presidential immunity. Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove reiterated Friday their position that the only acceptable option is overturning his conviction and dismissing his indictment, writing that anything less will interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country. The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. It’s unclear how soon Merchan will decide. He could grant Trump’s request for dismissal, go with one of the prosecution’s suggestions, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. In their response Friday, Blanche and Bove ripped each of the prosecution’s suggestions. Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the “ongoing threat” that he’ll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends, Blanche and Bove wrote. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. “To be clear, President Trump will never deviate from the public interest in response to these thuggish tactics,” the defense lawyers wrote. “However, the threat itself is unconstitutional.” The prosecution’s suggestion that Merchan could mitigate those concerns by promising not to sentence Trump to jail time on presidential immunity grounds is also a non-starter, Blanche and Bove wrote. The immunity statute requires dropping the case, not merely limiting sentencing options, they argued. Blanche and Bove, both of whom Trump has tabbed for high-ranking Justice Department positions, expressed outrage at the prosecution’s novel suggestion that Merchan borrow from Alabama and other states and treat the case as if Trump had died. Blanche and Bove accused prosecutors of ignoring New York precedent and attempting to “fabricate” a solution “based on an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy between President Trump” who survived assassination attempts in Pennsylvania in July and Florida in September “and a hypothetical dead defendant.” Such an option normally comes into play when a defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether it is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Merchan could innovate in what’s already a unique case. “This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding,” prosecutors wrote in their filing this week. But at the same time, it wouldn’t “precipitously discard” the “meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers.” Prosecutors acknowledged that “presidential immunity requires accommodation” during Trump’s impending return to the White House but argued that his election to a second term should not upend the jury’s verdict, which came when he was out of office. Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution . Other world leaders don’t enjoy the same protection. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges even as he leads that nation’s wars in Lebanon and Gaza . Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his May 30 conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records . Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier, which Trump denies. In their filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers citing a social media post in which Sen. John Fetterman used profane language to criticize Trump’s hush money prosecution. The Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that Trump deserved a pardon, comparing his case to that of President Joe Biden’s pardoned son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. Trump’s hush money conviction was in state court, meaning a presidential pardon — issued by Biden or himself when he takes office — would not apply to the case. Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith has ended his two federal cases , which pertained to Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in all. Trump had been scheduled for sentencing in the hush money case in late November. But following Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president’s sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump’s conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The U.S. Senate will vote on the bipartisan Cardiomyopathy, Health Education, Awareness, Research and Training in Schools Act later this week. Also known as the HEARTS Act, it would put more automated external defibrillators in schools and also make CPR training more prevalent and accessible to schools across the country. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, whose life was saved by an AED after going into cardiac arrest during a game, joined U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for the announcement. “Damar’s story shows that every minute counts," said Schumer. "If you don’t have one of these machines and CPR training, and you have to be taken to the hospital, it might be too long. It might be too late. But these machines make sure right away you get the help you need." According to the American Heart Association, as many as 23,000 children experience cardiac arrest in the United States every year. They say that plans to equip schools with the right skills and equipment can more than double survival rates from cardiac arrest. “The saddest calls I receive in my office are from parents who have lost their children because there was not someone around them that knew CPR or there was not an AED,” said Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association. If passed, the bill would be the first of its kind. The bipartisan legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously in September.
