Two RR crossings to remain open Closings would jeopardize emergency services By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
Local and state officials agreed that the Harris and St. Matthews streets railroad crossings would remain open for the time being. The officials met Wednesday at City Hall as a follow up to a public workshop held Nov. 17, also at City Hall, in connection with a traffic safety study of low-volume and redundant crossings. Nancy Horne, the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) project manager for the study, said the next step is to get on the City Council agenda and ask
the council to conduct a public hearing. Horne said the council would work with NCDOT on what Henderson will agree to accept, with the council to approve a resolution adopting the study. During the Wednesday session, the local officials, namely Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson, said closing the Harris crossing, which is at the edge of unincorporated North Henderson, would affect the response time of Vance County Fire & Ambulance. And Wilkerson noted his dePlease see RAILROAD, page 4A

Dozens of community leaders and educators broke into four groups Thursday to help VanceGranville Community College develop a strategic plan or mission covering the next five years. The two-hour community forum took place in the Civic Center on the Vance campus. It will soon be followed by similar meetings to get input from community residents and VGCC employees on the school’s campuses in Warren, Granville and Franklin counties.
The facilitator for all four parts of the information-gathering process involving the public will be Kathy Baker Smith. She recently retired as vicepresident for Educational Support Services at Guilford Technical Community College. Smith said Thursday that she will also serve as the facilitator when Vance-Granville’s Internal Planning Council discusses all of the suggestions generated at the four sessions. The resulting, proposed plan will be presented to the community college’s Board Of Trustees for approval at its meeting in March.
Led by Timmy Baines, executive director of the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments, the Global Awareness and Competitiveness group had two questions to ponder on Thursday. The first was: “As our world markets and economy become more interdependent and competitive, what educational programs and services does VGCC need to provide for existing business and industry to remain competitive and survive in the global marketplace?

Brummitt reappointed to airport board By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
OXFORD — Mayor Al Woodlief told the City Commission there was no need to decide on his suggestion to appoint City Manager Mark Donham to the airport authority board. Woodlief said his understanding was that Oxford’s longtime representative on the board, Jimmy Brummitt, wanted to continue serving. The commission, which met Tuesday, quickly
voted in favor of reappointing Brummitt. Brummitt was first appointed to the board in 1995 and his twoyear term expired in July. Donham told the newspaper Jan. 4 that Brummitt requested to be replaced. When the newspaper asked Donham why Brummitt wanted out, Donham replied, “He’s got a lot of other responsibilities.” The commission on Tuesday additionally agreed to Woodlief’s request to make Donham
a non-voting representative on the board because of Donham’s experience and because Donham attends board meetings. Donham was hired as Oxford’s manager in May 2008 after having been assistant manager of Monroe, which is southeast of Charlotte. While working for Monroe, Donham’s job included directing airport operations. The Airport Authority dates back to 1966 and Oxford, GranPlease see BRUMMITT, page 4A
of identity theft, scams By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
Henderson police are alerting local residents to reports from other areas about telephone scams and identity-theft frauds. According to Lt. Irvin Robinson, the department’s Crime Prevention officer, the crimes are connected with credit and debit cards issued by Visa and MasterCard. The scams are usually conducted by thieves calling a cardholder, according to Robinson. Having obtained the cardholder’s account number by some other means, he said, the caller impersonates a security employee of the credit card company. Robinson explained that the purpose is to get additional security numbers and information from the card-holder in order to illegally use their credit account. “Just as the Internet and other technologies have greatly expanded the possibilities for making credit card purchases without the need to physically present a card to the seller,” Robinson said, “so have they created additional Please see POLICE, page 4A

Maria Parham Medical Center moves toward electronic medical records A patient’s medical record is a collection of very important health documents that tell a story about the person’s past and serve as an important tool in treating future health issues. Traditionally, medical records have been printed on paper copies with information on everything from lab results to the physician’s summary of a patient’s health. Over the years, a person’s medical record gets thicker and thicker, often requiring several folders. Add on the necessity to keep these health records for many years, and a severe storage issue arises for hospitals and physician offices. More importantly, the massive volume of medical records can contribute to slowing down a patient’s treatment because of the time required to physically walk to Medical Records, retrieve the specific file and then study the papers in the file. Fortunately, a solution for this paper storm is just around the corner with the emergence of electronic medical records. Maria Parham Medical Center has kicked off a hospital-wide electronic medical record initiative. The initial phase will involve digitally scanning all components of a patient’s medical record that are not already in digital format. This will allow the hospital to keep the patient’s file electronically, thus reducing storage space and again, most importantly, allowing faster and more efficient access to health information. The patient’s medical record will be available to patient care providers who have access through the
hospital’s patient information system. The records will be secure, requiring passwords for access on a need-to-know basis. All of the data will also be routinely backed up to insure safe record keeping. The medical center has invested much time and effort in the preparation for the transition. Timetables have been in place for several years, but have been modified to comply with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) last year. The act, also known as the stimulus package, called for a number of changes in the infrastructures of organizations, including those in health care, to make them more efficient and quick to react in today’s everchanging environment. When it comes to providing better patient safety and care, electronic medical records have many advantages over the old paper chart, according to hospital officials. Physicians will have a patient’s health records literally at their fingertips, both while they are in the hospital, and even after they leave the facility. For example, a patient may be told to schedule a follow up visit with a family physician after a hospital stay. At this visit, with electronic medical records, the family physician will be able to instantly pull the patient’s hospital medical record up on his or her computer. This is an obvious benefit to the patient as well as the physician, who will be better able to answer any questions that the patient may have. Dr. Khanh Vu, family practice physician with Vance Family Medicine
Maria Parham Medical Center recently kicked-off its new electronic medical record initiative. Pictured above are Maria D’ Antonio, IT/Medical Records specialist demonstrating to Susan Robertson, RN, the new electronic medical record tool while Bob Singletary, president and CEO of the medical center, looks on. and a board member at Maria Parham Medical Center, said: “Physicians rely on the most current patient care information to make sound clinical decisions, and with Maria Parham’s electronic health record initiative, the hospital is improving our abilities to do that in a more convenient and real-time way. It will entail a lot of work and will not happen overnight, but the benefits could be very significant for patient care.� This initiative is just one of several Maria Parham has instituted recently. Last spring, the hospital began using a picture archiving and communication system, which allows all radiological images that were previously stored on film to be stored digitally. Last month, the hospital installed a new
state-of-the-art digital mammography system for its patients. Bob Singletary, president and CEO of Maria Parham Medical Center, comments: “Maria Parham has taken the stance that we will be vigilant in investing in cutting edge technology to provide a safer environment for patients, to increase the quality of care, and to lower costs. This is exactly what these recent technological advances we have added give our patients. It is an ongoing process, but we are confident that with the help of our physicians and staff that we will have the most sophisticated hospital information system in our region.�

RAILROAD, from page one partment provides mutual aid to certain parts of North Henderson. Residents at the workshop additionally said if the Harris Street crossing is done away with, then they would have to use the Main Street crossing, meaning they would have to drive on narrow pavement and past decrepit structures. Horne at Wednesday’s session suggested holding off closing the Harris crossing until officials working on the proposed Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor can provide a better option. Wilkerson agreed, saying, “That’s my professional opinion.” Wilkerson said the St. Matthews crossing provides access from Raleigh Road to L.B. Yancey Elementary School, which is the scene of fire alarms and calls for medical service. And Wilkerson noted closing St. Matthews would be an issue for volunteer firefighters responding via Raleigh Road. Police Capt. Perry Twisdale said closing St. Matthews would impact his department’s response time from Raleigh Road, including possibly to the point of having to go into Vance County’s jurisdiction to get to neighborhoods in his department’s jurisdiction on the opposite side of the railroad line. Horne and Mark Freeman, a consultant for NCDOT, compiled a list of requested upgrades of crossings. Freeman noted the problem of paths and streets intersecting at or near the St. Matthews crossing. “I mean, there’s a lot going on all of a sudden,” Freeman said. And Freeman noted the sight distance issue at the St. Matthews crossing, as evidenced by the presence of nearby trees. Freeman said he does not know the answer to the situation, but would be agreeable to site distance improvements such as cutting the trees. NCDOT Division Engi-
Deaths
neer Wally Bowman said he does not know whether the trees are on or off right of ways. The latter would mean NCDOT would have to contract property owners. The state officials, at the request of Twisdale and Wilkerson, put the Chavasse Avenue crossing on the list for improvements, specifically for smoothing the approach at Young Avenue and installing concrete railroad crossing panels. Twisdale said the problem is that, when approaching Chavasse from the Young Avenue side of the tracks, the crossing can damage a fire truck or a police car. The state officials said plans are to close the Chavasse crossing as part of the high speed rail. City Manager Ray Griffin at the Nov. 23 City Council meeting said his information is that, with the high speed rail, the only crossings in the city proper would be a new N.C. 39/Andrews Avenue overpass and a new overpass near the intersection of Raleigh Road and Dabney Drive Extended so motorists could continue connecting with William Street. And the two overpasses would be in addition to the Charles Street underpass, which is a 1936 project of President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration. The current Andrews Avenue crossing became a subject of discussion Wednesday because of the additional traffic on Garnett Street on the immediate west side of the crossing and on William on the immediate east side of the crossing. And William provides a connection from Andrews to Henderson Middle School off Charles Street. “Andrews just is what it is,” Freeman said. “The biggest issue there is you’ve got too many folks trying to turn just before that crossing.” Freeman said NCDOT could look at the timing of the traffic signals at Andrews and Garnett. “I mean, y’all have
done as good as you can do with what you’ve got there without us restricting movements,” Freeman said. Freeman and Horne, with support from Wilkerson, put concrete crossing panels at Andrews on the list of improvements. Wilkerson said the Main Street crossing needs work. Freeman acknowledged the hump-like surface and said he would be willing to look into the situation. Freeman said one reason the Main crossing is on the list to stay open is because a long-term Henderson thoroughfare plan calls for using a realigned Main as a future east-connector from Interstate 85 in the direction of Bypass U.S. 1. The local and state officials on Wednesday agreed to stay with plans to close the crossings at Spring, Orange, Winder, Rock Spring and Railroad streets and Carolyn Court. Although the state officials made clear Wednesday that the safety study has nothing to do with the high speed rail, President Obama in April called for the U.S. to move quickly toward having a high-speed rail system nationwide to ease vehicle bottlenecks and snarls, to help clean up the environment and to conserve fuel. Obama allocated $8 billion of the more than $780 billion federal economic stimulus package for a start on setting up corridors, including the proposed one from Washington to Richmond, Va., through the Carolinas and into Atlanta. During the Wednesday session, Bowman said, “We’re going to move forward as if the rail project is not coming. And when we get this all settled out and we get resolutions and we get funding, we’ll have to make a decision at that time.” Still, Bowman said he believed what was discussed Wednesday would be “a good improvement safety wise” in the meantime.

Carolina Briefs Report: N.C. missed 2000 Purchasing, IT changes land-preservation goal suggested by panel
Officers find pot growing Cold weather hits city in buried school bus with broken water lines
6-month prison term for selling bear organs
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina environmentalists say the state missed former Gov. Jim Hunt’s challenge to protect a million acres of land from development within a decade. Conservation groups on Thursday issued a report estimating the state got less than two-thirds of the way toward reaching the goal of preserving a million acres of open space by 2010. The report by the group Environment North Carolina said the state instead saw more than one million acres of natural land developed in the decade. Hunt challenged governments and private groups in January 2000 to do more to protect the state’s quality of life in the face of rapid population growth. His plan to buy undeveloped land was never fully funded, and the recession further slowed purchases in recent years.
KINSTON (AP) — An undercover drug buy led North Carolina detectives to an underground marijuana garden in a buried school bus. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office had looked for the source of the marijuana for three years and had been flying over the area with a helicopter. Then sheriff’s narcotics officers bought several pounds of pot in a recent undercover buy. Sgt. Eddie Eubanks says officers traced the pot to a rural residence. A search dog fell through a camouflaged trap door leading down to a full-length school bus buried eight feet under a backyard tool shed. Deputies seized 68 plants, each four feet tall and weighing about 35 pounds. Eubanks says the plants were worth about $40,000. Three people have been arrested.
ASHEVILLE (AP) — A member of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians has been sentenced to six months in federal prison for trafficking dozens of bear gall bladders against tribal law. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that Clement Calhoun will face a year of supervised release after serving his sentence. Calhoun also is barred from hunting or holding a hunting license. He could have faced up to two years in prison Prosecutors say Calhoun violated the Cherokee legal code by selling bear parts off the reservation in 2005. The government says the bile from the bear’s gall bladder is prized for its medicinal purposes in some Asian cultures. Animal experts say the demand for bear gall bladders could threaten North Carolina’s large black bear population.
RALEIGH (AP) — A panel organized by Gov. Beverly Perdue to locate waste and inefficiency in North Carolina government has made its first recommendations. The Budget Reform and Accountability Commission voted Thursday to ask Perdue to consider streamlining the state’s purchasing and to concentrate controls over information technology decisions. Commission members said the state’s procurement system is too decentralized and includes thousands of different bid types. State Chief Information Officer Jerry Fralick told the panel his office needs more power to consolidate effectively multiple IT systems in state government. The panel is also considering ways to rework the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control system and better manage state government’s airplanes.
HIGH POINT (AP) — The cold weather has broken so many water lines in one North Carolina city that officials are asking residents to conserve water. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that High Point water customers have used between one million and two million gallons a day more this year than last year. City public services director Chris Thompson says the city has worked on about 30 water main breaks in the past month. The broken lines force the city to push more water through its treatment plant to keep up with the need. That’s why High Point is asking residents to conserve water for the next month. The city predicts more problems as the cold temperatures rise. The thawing ground will move, causing new breaks in water lines.

Daily Meditation Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Matthew 5:42
Our Opinion
What’s in a name? Yes, it’s Clarke with an “e.” We’ll forgive you if you thought Tuesday’s story about the naming of the new Vance County elementary school had a typo. According to Terri Hedrick, public information officer for Vance County Schools, the new elementary school that will bear the Clarke moniker was named after Clark Street Elementary, which was named after Clark Street, which was named after John Clarke, whose family owned land in the area at the time Clark Street (technically it’s Clarke) was constructed. It’s a mouthful, we know. Apparently, over the years, the city of Henderson stopped including the “e” on the end of the street’s name when new street signs were put up. Eventually, the school followed suit. Hedrick said Clark Street Elementary, which opened in 1923 and will close at the end of the school year, was still using the “e” as late as 1979, but dropped it sometime in the early ‘80s to conform with the street signs. “So, with the board’s action on Monday night they made a point of stating that they want the ‘e’ back in the name for the new school. Since we don’t have to worry about the name of the street with the new school, it makes sense that the correct spelling be used,” Hedrick said in an e-mail. At Monday’s meeting, school board member Robert L. Duke said he didn’t want the school named after any individual. Board member Ruth M. Hartness was in favor of naming the school Southern Vance Elementary School. They were the two dissenting votes when the name was approved. A committee formed to make a name recommendation for the new school had suggested “Clark-Carmel” and “C.H. Brown.” It appears neither of those names got any consideration at the meeting. Why bother to form a committee if the board wasn’t going to listen to its recommendations? While the board had indicated early on that it would make the final decision, it would have seemed more appropriate if school board members at least had given the proposed names some discussion. To many the entire naming process may have seemed a waste of time. Clark, Clarke, Clark-Carmel, or C.H. Brown: does it really matter what the school is named? The students who attend there aren’t likely to care about the name. And as long as the students have a safe and clean environment to learn in, no one else should either.
Quotable “It’s incredible. A lot of houses destroyed, hospitals, schools, personal homes. A lot of people in the street dead. ... I’m still looking to understand the magnitude of the event and how to manage.” Haiti President Rene Preval in an television interview a day after a magnitude-7 quake flattened much of the Haitian capital of 2 million people. “People are angry. Reports of “record profits and bonuses in the wake of receiving trillions of dollars in government assistance while so many families are struggling to stay afloat has only heightened the sense of confusion.” Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission Chairman Phil Angelides in a statement after top Wall Street bankers apologized for risky behavior that led to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Haitians need our help Destruction is no respecter of persons. In Haiti, the lifeless bodies of the rich and poor are stacked in the streets. Shantytowns and the presidential palace lay in ruins. As of press time Thursday, the Red Cross estimated that as many as 50,000 may be dead. A disaster of this magnitude is hard to fully comprehend, especially when we live 1,000 miles away. We see the photos, watch the videos and read the stories, but those paint a limited picture of the catastrophic events that unfolded Tuesday. Our imaginations are left to fill in the blanks. As I sift through the news coverage of the earthquake, I can’t help but think of the children. A nation already plagued by poverty will now face the reality of thousands of children with no homes, no parents, and no hope. The next generation of Haitians has lost the race before getting a chance to run it. Not that the next generation had much going for it before the earthquake. Almost 80 percent of the country lives
in poverty. Its infant mortality rate is about 60 deaths per 1,000 live births. That’s enough to doom the future of any nation. Add in the earthquake, and the 14 other disasters that have struck Haiti since 2001, and the country doesn’t have much of a future. Luke From hurricanes Horton to floods Daily Dispatch to killer Editor storms — Haiti has seen it all. Evangelist broadcaster Pat Robertson said Haiti has been “cursed” because of its history of practicing Voodoo. More than likely, Haiti’s bad fortune lies more in its location and poverty than any voodoo. The country of 9 million lies along a major hurricane track. It’s also located near several fault lines.
It seems the odds are stacked against the impoverished country. Cursed or not, Haiti is a country in need, and we are country of givers. The United States has pledged money, supplies and military troops. Aid groups from across the country are heading south hoping to help. And here in North Carolina, there are efforts under way to send aid. A spokeswoman for Raleigh-based Hope for Haiti Foundation, a relief organization that in October launched a capital campaign to raise a $1 million to build a hospital, told the Herald-Sun that as soon as travel is possible the organization will send people to help with the relief effort. Even before the earthquake, Kristen Pope said the organization was planning to send 25 to 40 people to Haiti on Jan. 30 for an annual mission trip. In addition to Hope for Haiti Foundation, here are some ways you can help: • To donate $10 to the American Red Cross, text Haiti to 90999. The amount will be added to your next phone
bill. The organization is also accepting donations through its International Response Fund, at www.redcross.org. Donations also can be made by phone to 800-REDCROSS or 800-257-7575. • To donate $5 to Wyclef Jean’s Haitian Yele charity, text 501501. The money will be added to your next phone bill. • To donate through Oxfam’s emergency appeal, visit www.oxfam.org.uk. • To donate to Food for the Poor, visit www.foodforthepoor.org. • To find out how to help the International Rescue Committee, visit www.theIRC.org or call 877-REFUGEE. • InterAction, a coalition of U.S.-based international non-governmental organizations, has a list of agencies responding to the crisis and how to donate to them. Visit www.interaction.org/crisis-list/ earthquake-haiti. • Churches in the Henderson area will also be accepting special offerings to aid the victims of the earthquake.
Letter to the Editor What about Martin Luther?
Turning the dial on a timeless set Mama insisted it wouldn’t work. And quite cantankerous was she as I hauled the modest, yet mighty-heavy machine upstairs Saturday evening, resting it atop my bed’s featherdown comforter. The 1979 MGA Mitsubishi Electric Solid State TV, Model #CS-1302, had lain inactive for several years prior to its resurrection last weekend. “A real classic,” I dubbed the hand-me-down TV set as Mama’s contention continued, her sharp tongue scolding the ‘79 model’s practicability in her more modern house — and asserting that one of my projects would eventually result in an explosion. I defended the MGA Mitsubishi Electric Solid State TV as quite appropriate, pointing out the baseboard heater in my nook of the Eaves homeplace — and arguing that America’s landfills overflow with stillfunctional products, which have been traded for our society’s newest, must-have fads. Despite Mama’s dissent, questioning the out-of-date television’s operability, I disregarded doubt and embraced a faith in the untechnologicallysavvy tube. Some, such as Mama, assume the purchase of an inexpensive, modern TV more practical. I consider that nonsense. Sometimes old, or should I say “seasoned,” is quite satisfactory. Furthermore, this vintage television bares that which money cannot buy: Character. Seeking a name for this “character,” I recalled its origins — a first-time credit purchase by my Uncle Mike, who at that time was in his
mid-20s. And so, I named my 1979 MGA Mitsubishi Electric Solid State TV set “Mikey” — the very name Uncle Mike’s granddaughter calls him today, 30 years later. A thrill emanated as I pulled Mikey’s Gina small, black, buttoned Eaves knob, joltDaily Dispatch ing the Columnist silent box from several years of slumber, signaled by the snap, crackle and pop of electricity’s return. Mikey had awakened — a message I hurriedly delivered to a disbelieving, yet delighted Mama. That evening, I joined Mikey for a movie, which starred the then-young Robert Redford. I was especially thankful for Mikey’s remarkable reception.
The following evenings followed in similar fashion. Mikey’s two silver knobs, once used for channel-changing, remain stationary these days — set to Channel 3. My satellite’s remote has assumed all channel-surfing. And while my satellite box makes Mikey’s rabbit ears obsolete, they remain as ornaments atop Mikey’s curved screen and cream-colored box, gilded in black and silver plastic. Mikey may be antiquated, but the old veteran can still do the job. Sure, Mikey’s age shows, as evidenced by the fading glow of bulbs visible when his knob, with a click, is pressed to “off.” But given the opportunity, similar to the numerous neglected products of yesteryear, Mikey can live on.

Good morning dear editors. Thanks for devoting precious editorial space to honor a significant American, Martin Luther King. However, friends, at the same time you tiptoed timidly past a far bigger news story on Martin Luther, who Martin Luther King was named for. Here we have forgotten a mere puny Catholic monk professor in a university in Germany as his duty became intimate with church doctrine and God’s Bible, and, my goodness, discovered some serious differences. Plus, he boldly said so publicly before a battalion of holy-robed human-rulers with a history of burning at the stake any who disagreed. Martin Luther so boldly proclaimed one is right and one is wrong, then he declared ‘Here I stand, help me God,’ and God surely did in a big way, with a world reformation. Plus, along came the invention of the printing press that gave God’s Bible to the people. This change story continues. In scripture we read of a beautiful woman, Esther, in significant boldness came before the big killer king, persuaded him to save her people of millions from execution, and hung the enemies. Today, we look forward to Sarah, also beautiful in form and voice, also committed to God, coming on the great FOX TV news nightly network, speaking with God’s guidance without restraint to Americans. She has reduced yankee twit-media several notches already, with smiles, so dear editors brace for impact of big news. Don Bagby Macon

Quake aid snarled; up to 50,000 feared dead By JONATHAN M. KATZ and TAMARA LUSH Associated Press Writers
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Doctors and search dogs, troops and rescue teams flew to this devastated land of dazed, dead and dying people Thursday, finding bottlenecks everywhere, beginning at a main airport short on jet fuel and ramp space and without a control tower. The international Red Cross estimated 45,000 to 50,000 people were killed in Tuesday’s cataclysmic earthquake, based on information from the Haitian Red Cross and government officials. Worries mounted, meanwhile, about food and water for the survivors. From Virginia, from China, a handful of rescue teams were able to get down to work, scouring the rubble for survivors. In one “small miracle,” searchers pulled a security guard alive from beneath the collapsed concrete floors of the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters, where many others were entombed. But the silence of the dead otherwise was overwhelming in a city where uncounted bodies littered the streets in the 80-degree heat, and dust-caked arms and legs reached, frozen and lifeless, from the ruins. Outside the General Hospital morgue, hundreds of collected corpses blanketed the parking lot, as the grief-stricken searched for loved ones. Brazilian U.N. peacekeepers, key to city security, were trying to organize mass burials. Patience already was wearing thin among the poorest who were waiting for aid, said David Wimhurst, spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission.

Skippin’ town: Holtz heading to South Florida
Pirate Nation can still thrive post-Holtz bout two weeks ago, I wrote a column from Liberty Bowl Stadium in Memphis, Tenn. lauding the coaching efforts of Skip Holtz in the wake of a demoralizing loss to Arkansas. The column ended a little something like this: “After two seasons of flirting with Syracuse and Cincinnati head coaching Kellen vacancies, Holtzman it appears Holtz Dispatch Sports Writer could be in Greenville long enough to earn what is becoming an elusive Liberty Bowl win.” “And at the rate Holtz is going, he shouldn’t be waiting very long.” Well, it looks like Skip won’t be waiting long at all. I guess now he has bigger fish to fry than winning Liberty Bowls. After two intense years of deflecting suitors, he’s really leaving this time, opting to fill South Florida’s head coaching vacancy. I hope my optimism isn’t getting old already, but I’m choosing to look at this glass half full. I was even tempted to recycle the Jan. 3 column’s headline, “A tough loss, but a moral victory for ECU.” Losing Holtz is a tough loss, but he leaves ECU’s program in much better shape than he found it. Skip brought the passion back to Pirate football. When Holtz arrived at ECU in 2005, he was taking over a program in turmoil, a program desperate to be revived. It only took about one half in Holtz’s first game against Duke for that revival to begin. By the time the final cannon blasted in the 24-21 win over the Blue Devils, the environment surrounding ECU football had already changed. The enthusiasm was back and Skip was looked upon as the program’s savior — and that’s exactly what he was.

East Carolina head coach Skip Holtz walks the sideline in the first quarter of the Liberty Bowl against Arkansas on Saturday, Jan. 2. After five seasons as coach of the Pirates, Holtz will become the new head coach at South Florida.
TAMPA, Fla. — Skip Holtz is the new football coach at South Florida, taking over a program recovering from a scandal that led to the firing of Jim Leavitt. The 45-year-old Holtz led East Carolina to the past two Conference USA championships. He inherits a talented but inconsistent team that’s tasted the national limelight while also falling short of a goal of winning the Big East. Holtz informed his old team
of his decision during a meeting with players Thursday in Greenville. USF will introduce him as the second coach in the Bulls’ 13-year history on Friday. AOL FanHouse was first to report the hiring. “This is a really special opportunity, and I am incredibly excited. ... I believe there are great things on the horizon for this program,” Holtz said in a statement released by the school. “It’s obvious to everyone that Coach Leavitt has built a sucPlease see HOLTZ, page 3B

Lighthouse too bright for Colts By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer
In Crossroads’ last bout with Lighthouse Christian, the Eagles’ guard play was too much for the Colts to handle. This time, Lighthouse brought a balanced attack in an 80-34 romp over Crossroads. “When they got the ball down low, it was difficult for our guys to stop them,” said Colts coach John Anderson.
The Eagles only led by four after the first period, but used an explosive 30-point second quarter to wash away Crossroads. Lighthouse led 42-17 at the half and 64-29 entering the final period. Wesley Jones and Rob Wible both led the Eagles with 15 points, but the star of the game — yet again — was guard Devin Masone. Please see COLTS, page 3B

Crossroads couldn’t get shots to fall, and unfortunately for the Colts, Lighthouse was lights out from long range in a 71-34 rout Thursday night. Lighthouse won the previous meeting on Nov. 19 65-58 in double overtime, but this one was never close. The Eagles did a lot of their damage from distance, shooting 8 for 16 from beyond the arc. They won the rebound and turnover battles, committing limited mistakes with ball possession. “We didn’t have the turnovers that we needed to create on defense in order to start the breaks to get the easy baskets,” said Colts coach John Anderson.
“Every basket we had was hardearned, it was outside, maybe (after) an offensive rebound.” Both teams opened the game with an energetic burst, running the floor during a back-and-forth opening three minutes. Britney Anderson scored six of her team-high 14 points for the Colts in the first. Elizabeth McAuslin scored five in the period, but didn’t score again in the game. The Eagles ended the first with a run that made it 18-11 heading into the second. Their momentum carried over into the second, when they increased their lead by out-scoring the Colts 14-7. Of those 14 Eagle points, Lauren Woods scored 12. She Please see LADY COLTS, page 3B

Cameron Capell led the Spartans with 19 points, 15 coming from five 3-pointers. Tyler Overby had Valentine 16 points and eight rebounds, and Chandler Lloyd had 10 points and seven rebounds. St. David’s Anthony Thomas had 30 points, and was 8 for 9 at the line in the fourth quarter. Please see SPARTANS, page 2B

Kerr-Vance (6-6 overall) gave up an early run but never fully recovered, despite cutting St. David’s lead to one late in the third quarter. St. Davids pulled away in the fourth, making the final score 66-52. Daniel Burnette led the Spartans with 19 points. Hayes Griggs added 12, and Dallas Smith had 11. The JV girls’ team dropped their EPIC record to 0-2 with a 30-16 loss to St. David’s Thursday.

MLB Braves OF Cabrera agrees to contract ATLANTA (AP) — Braves outfielder Melky Cabrera has agreed to a $3.1 million, one-year contract with his new team to avoid arbitration. Cabrera, who made $1,425,000 last season with the New York Yankees, was acquired by Atlanta in a five-player deal that sent 15-game winner Javier Vazquez to the World Series champions. Cabrera was the Yankees’ starting center fielder most of the last three seasons, hitting .274 with 13 homers and 68 RBIs in 2009. Reliever Peter Moylan is the only arbitration-eligible player still unsigned by the Braves.
NFL Cable will meet with Davis Thursday ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Tom Cable planned to meet with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis on Thursday to discuss his status as head coach. Raiders senior executive John Herrera said the two men could meet again Friday. Cable has been spending the 10 days since the season ended evaluating the team with his assistant coaches. Cable’s status is in question after he went 5-11 in his first full season as coach and failed to develop JaMarcus Russell into a legitimate NFL quarterback. Cable is 9-19 since replacing Lane Kiffin early in the 2008 season, leading the Raiders to their NFL-worst seventh straight season with at least 11 losses. Cable has pointed to the team’s improvement after Russell’s midseason benching as proof that he deserves another year to get the Raiders back to the playoffs.
Giants hire Fewell as defensive coordinator EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Buffalo Bills interim coach Perry Fewell has been hired as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator. Coach Tom Coughlin announced the move late Thursday evening after Fewell spent the past few days weighing offers from the Giants and the Chicago Bears. Fewell interviewed for the vacant Bills coaching job but he has said for a while that he felt he was a longshot for that position. Giants rookie defensive coorindator Bill Sheridan was fired the day after the regular season ended. The Giants gave up more than 40 points in each of their last two games and 427 points for the season, ranking third from the bottom in the NFL. Only the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams gave up more points. The Giants also fired defensive line coach Mike Waufle.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Duke coach and former Tennessee assistant David Cutcliffe appears to be the target of the Volunteers’ search for a new head coach. Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton has kept quiet about his candidates to replace Lane Kiffin, who abruptly resigned Tuesday night to coach Southern California. Duke spokesman Art Chase called reports of a deal between Cutcliffe and Tennessee inaccurate, and Hamilton told The Associated Press by text message late Thursday that he’s “still working” on interviews. Cutcliffe twice served
on Tennessee’s staff and spent eight years as the Vols’ offensive coordinator under former coach Phillip Fulmer. In between his stints in Knoxville, Cutcliffe coached at Mississippi for six seasons and has developed quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning during his career. Junior defensive end Chris Walker, who was around for Cutcliffe’s last season with the Vols, said the team would be happy with someone like him. “Sometimes you can bring guys in that really don’t understand Tennessee, really don’t understand playing in the SEC or coaching in the SEC,” Walker said, adding that Kiffin’s staff didn’t understand Tennessee traditions
or fans. “Hopefully we can get a coach in that understands that, which will help us out.” Air Force coach Troy Calhoun released a statement Thursday saying he was looking forward to coaching the Falcons in 2010, ending speculation that he was a candidate. “We are diligently recruiting and working with our team to prepare for the upcoming season,” Calhoun said in the statement. “We look forward to coaching and being a part of the Air Force Academy team both on and off the field in 2010.” Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and TCU coach Gary Patterson have both said they have not been contacted by Ten-
nessee. Another possible candidate, East Carolina coach Skip Holtz, accepted the head coaching job at South Florida on Thursday. Interim Tennessee coach Kippy Brown said he was a candidate for the job, and Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley and Connecticut coach Randy Edsall could be in the mix. Hamilton said Wednesday he wanted a new coach in place before coaches could begin live recruiting again on Sunday. He also said he didn’t mind taking an extra day if it meant bringing in the right coach. ——— AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Durham, N.C., contributed to this report.
Beltran, Mets bicker over surgery By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran says the New York Mets made their request to delay knee surgery only after the operation was underway. A day after his right knee was repaired, the All-Star center fielder contradicted the claims of team officials who said they asked him to delay surgery while the club’s medical staff evaluated his condition. “I have done nothing but follow the directions of my doctors. Any accusations that I ignored or defied the team’s wishes are simply false,” Beltran said in a statement released Thursday by his agent, Scott Boras. “No one from the team raised any issue until Wednesday, after I was already in surgery,” Beltran said. “I do not know what else I could have done.” Boras claims Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek and trainer Ray Ramirez approved the surgery on Tuesday. Boras said chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon asked for the delay on Wednesday morning, when Dr. Richard Steadman already was removing cartilage fragments and inflammation, and shaving bone spurs. “The Mets had notice of the surgery on Wednesday because their physician was informed, Dr. Altchek, by Dr. Steadman,” Boras said.

In this Sept. 28, 2008 file photo, New York’s Carlos Beltran celebrates after hitting a two-run home run against Florida in New York. The Mets on Wednesday announced Beltran has had surgery on his troublesome right knee and the center fielder will miss the start of the season. “The Mets had notice when their trainer was informed by Dr. Steadman’s office, and he also approved the surgery. Carlos Beltran informed (general manager) Omar Minaya of it through a conversation on late Tuesday afternoon.” Many have questioned what kind of operation the Mets and their medical staff are running. So much for New York heading to spring training without controversy following a dismal initial season at Citi Field. Assistant general manager John Ricco said Beltran had permission to be examined Tuesday by Steadman, a knee specialist in Colorado who also looked at Beltran last summer.
Steadman recommended surgery. “We told the agent for the player that we wanted to have the ability to discuss the diagnosis and possibly have a third opinion because, you know, of the nature of this injury,” Ricco said during a telephone conference call. “We wanted to have the opportunity to digest the information, the diagnosis, and unfortunately we were never afforded the opportunity to do that.” Ricco said the Mets’ request to Boras to delay surgery was made Tuesday evening. Beltran had a different view. “Dr. Altchek agreed with Dr. Steadman’s diagnosis that I needed surgery, and said he would relay his approval to Mets management,” Beltran said. The team doesn’t expect Beltran to resume baseball activities for 12 weeks — although Boras said it could be as few as eight. Ricco said the team will be “losing his services, at least for the early part of the season.” Boras said Beltran didn’t need permission from the Mets because it wasn’t elective surgery and said Ramirez provided the necessary insurance paperwork. “We thought we had cooperation from their side,” Ricco said. “And to find out afterward that, you know, the surgery occurred, that’s where we’re most upset.” Thus far, the Mets have stopped short of taking action against Beltran for
going ahead with the operation. He is entering the sixth season of a $119 million, seven-year contract. “We sent a letter to the agent reserving our rights,” Ricco said. “And that’s where it stands right now.” The Mets contacted lawyers in the labor relations division of the commissioner’s office but have few options. They could withhold Beltran’s pay while he is on the disabled list, which would risk allowing him to become a free agent if the team loses a dispute, or to attempt to void the guarantee language in his contract. “We’re investigating it,” players’ association assistant general counsel Jeff Fannell said. “Just based on the facts as we understand them to be, the Mets have no basis to assert a claim against Carlos Beltran that he violated his contract.” Ricco spoke on the conference call because Minaya and Wilpon were at the major league owners’ meetings in Arizona. “When you have a player of this magnitude, you have an injury that could keep him out for a substantial period of time, you know, our view of it was that we want to make sure we have all the information that we can have at the time before we go forward,” Ricco said. “Obviously, both the Mets’ and Carlos Beltran’s interest in this is Carlos Beltran’s health and having him be healthy and productive for the Mets.”
Johnson, Marlins reach $39M, four-year deal By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
MIAMI — The Marlins’ pledge to loosen their purse strings paid off big for Josh Johnson. Florida’s ace agreed Thursday to a $39 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Marlins hadn’t announced an agreement. The deal covers Johnson’s final two years of salary arbitration eligibility and pushes back his chance to become a free agent by two years.
It’s the sort of multiyear deal baseball’s most frugal franchise has avoided in the past, and it comes only two days after an announcement that the Marlins agreed to increase payroll spending in response to complaints from the players’ union. The only Marlins player with a comparable contract is star shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who signed a $70 million, six-year contract in 2008. Florida had the lowest payroll in the majors three of the past four seasons, including in 2009. The union complained the payroll has been so small as to violate
SPARTANS, from page 1B “To me, it should show the guys we can play with anybody when we play hard,” said Carrier. The varsity girls’ team was defeated 63-38, despite 24 points from senior Shameka Valentine. Emily Adkins contributed six points and 10 rebounds. “St. David’s is a very fastbreak-oriented team,” said Carrier. “They really look to run and press.”
“They’re a good team and they really play well together.” The Spartans were down by 18 at the half, and couldn’t make a comeback. The team falls to 3-9 overall and 0-2 in EPIC play.

baseball’s revenue sharing provisions, a charge the Marlins denied. The Marlins now have Johnson under contract through 2013, and he becomes the front-runner to start the first game in their new ballpark in 2012. Widely regarded as one of baseball’s best young pitchers, he made the All-Star team for the first time last year, when he had a careerbest record of 15-5 with an ERA of 3.23 in 209 innings. “J.J. has been a horse,” general manager Larry Beinfest said shortly after last season. “We think he’s going to be one of the top pitchers in this league for

quite a while.” Johnson is 22-6 since returning in 2008 from elbow ligament replacement surgery. The right-hander went 12-7 as a rookie in 2006 and has a career record of 34-16. His new contract is comparable to the $38 million, four-year deal an arbitration-eligible Zack Greinke signed with Kansas City a year ago after going 13-10 in 2008. The next big spending decision for the Marlins is whether to keep slugging second baseman Dan Uggla, who is eligible for arbitration and due a hefty raise.

Panthers fire special teams coach Danny Crossman By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE — As John Fox prepares for perhaps his final season with the Carolina Panthers, he’s making changes to his coaching staff. He started Thursday by firing one of his former players. Special teams coach
Danny Crossman was dismissed after Carolina ranked near the bottom of the NFL in several key categories in 2009. Hampered by having numerous young, inexperienced players because of the large salary-cap figure of defensive end Julius Peppers, the Panthers ranked 31st out of 32 teams in kickoff return average, 30th in kickoff
coverage and 29th in punt coverage. The Panthers also failed to develop a consistent return man. Crossman had been with the Panthers since 2003 and was promoted to special teams coach in 2005. Crossman, who first met Fox when he was a fullback in college at Pittsburgh in the 1980s when Fox was an assistant coach there,
has oversaw a unit that struggled for the past few seasons. “This was an extremely hard decision and we wish Danny the very best,” general manager Marty Hurney said in a statement. The team did not announce a replacement as Fox and Hurney prepare for next season despite Fox’s uncertainty.
Owner Jerry Richardson has decided not to extend Fox’s contract past the 2010 season. ESPN reported Sunday that Fox would be allowed to void his deal if he found another job, but there are no current head coach openings besides Buffalo. Fox said on his final radio show of the season last week that he expected to be back next season.
He’s 76-60 in eight years in Carolina, but has never posted consecutive winning seasons. The Panthers finished 8-8 in 2009 after going 12-4 a year earlier. The Panthers have made no other coaching moves. Quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer this week turned down an offer to becoming Virginia’s offensive coordinator.
LADY COLTS, from page 1B was 2 of 2 from long range, and finished the game with 14 total points. The Eagles led 32-18 at the half, and thing wouldn’t get better for Crossroads. Anderson was forced to call a time out two minutes into the third, as the Colts continued to struggle scoring and the Eagle rally continued. “Pretty much the first three quarters, we got beat to the ball. Every time a ball was on the ground, they would get it. Every time there was a rebound, they would get it,” Anderson said. “We weren’t physical enough for the play that was out there today.” Crossroads was held to just four points in the third quarter. They trailed 53-22 heading into the fourth.
The Colts were more aggressive in the final quarter, scoring 12, but were still out-scored by the Eagles in the frame. Nine different Eagles scored points in the game, and seven scored at least six points. After Woods, the scoring was led by Erica Vidal and Alex Cole, who each scored 10. Faith Patterson had nine and Tiffany Driver scored eight. Conference play resumes for the Colts (5-4, 3-2) today with a matchup against rival Cresset Christian at 5:45 p.m. “We got a conference game tomorrow, Cresset, and I’m hoping the fourth Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE quarter we played today will carry into tomorrow,” Crossroads Christian’s Elizabeth McAuslan has her shot said Anderson. blocked during the Colts’ 71-34 loss to Lighthouse Christian Thursday night.

COLTS, from page 1B Masone only scored 11 after putting up 32 on the Colts in November, but he made his presence felt with his distribution. Lighthouse led 36-17 in the second quarter when Masone started a rally in the final minute by finding a teammate inside for two points. Masone then hit Jones on a fastbreak to make it 40-17 with 25 seconds left before converting a lay-up off a steal with 10 seconds left in the half. “You could see his mindset was to assist and to get his teammates involved,” Anderson said. Both sides got to the free throw line early and often, and the Eagles capitalized, knocking down 11 free throws in the second period alone. “The game was extremely physical. A lot of contact was allowed under the boards and
up top,” said Anderson. The Colts hung with Lighthouse in the first quarter, tying the game at six and trailing 12-8 by the end of the frame. Then the wheels came off. While the Eagles were connecting at the charity stripe, Crossroads shot 4 of 17 from the line in the first half. “The first quarter we stayed with them and we were very competitive,” said Anderson. “Where we lost are edge was missed free throws and lay-ups.” Thad McClelland led the Colts with 13 points, Jeremy Grainger had 11 and Jacob Campbell had six.

Now he we are, 74 games later, and ECU is the twotime defending Conference USA champion. “I think this football team has a chance to be outstanding even with the players that we just graduated,” Holtz told the media after meeting with his team Thursday. “I believe East Carolina has a chance to be one of the best programs on the East Coast.” I wouldn’t go that far, but ECU has certainly solidified itself as the hottest program in C-USA and, at least, competition for N.C. State and North Carolina. Holtz may have revived the program, but ECU football had its place before him and it will live on long after his era. Pat Dye left after a very successful tenure at ECU (1974-1979), compiling a 4818-1 record before bolting to Wyoming and ultimately Auburn. Bill Lewis left for Georgia Tech in 1991 after an incredible 11-1 season that ended with the Pirates ranked No. 9 in the country. Holtz has earned his place in ECU history, but it’s time to move on, and this time, the waiting list to be head coach will be a lot longer than it was in 2004-2005. Pirate fans can only hope that athletic director Terry Holland will find someone who is willing to stay a little

It was pretty apparent to anyone close to ECU athletics that Holtz was never there for the long haul. From the moment he started winning, his name became associated with numerous head coaching vacancies, whether the ru-
mors proved to be accurate or not. But Holtz always maintained that it would take a “special situation” for him to leave Greenville. “This is not a money decision. This is not a career decision,” Holtz said Thursday. “This is something I felt I needed to do for me, for my children, for my family.”
one of the nation’s fastest rising programs over the past decade. Leavitt was hired in December 1995, launched the Bulls from scratch a little less than two years later, and compiled a 95-57 record in 13 seasons at both levels of Division I. USF was ranked as high as No. 2 in 2007 before struggling in conference play and tumbling out of the Top 25. Fast starts the past two seasons, carrying the Bulls into the Top 25, also were followed by puzzling mid-season swoons that undermined bids for Big East titles. “I have heard great things about the young men in our program from a variety of people. I can’t wait to meet with each one of them and to begin work-
ing together toward a Big East championship,” Holtz said. “My goal is to graduate our players, to foster their personal development and to establish USF as one of the premier programs in the country.” Leavitt, who just completed the second season of a seven-year, $12.6 million contract, was dismissed following a three-week investigation into an accusation that he grabbed sophomore walk-on Joel Miller and struck him during halftime of a game against Louisville on Nov. 21. Although Leavitt told investigators he didn’t strike Miller and was only trying to motivate the players when he grabbed Miller’s shoulder pads, the school concluded the coach’s account was not credible.
Here lies my only issue with Holtz’s departure. Yes, with a move to South Florida, his kids will have four grandparents within driving range from Tampa Bay, Fla. That’s great. But I wish Skip had the guts to be up front and mention that the Bulls’ presence in the Big East, coupled with the fertile recruiting grounds that the Sunshine State provides, had something to do with his decision. Listening to Holtz speak, you would think he was willing to take the first available coaching job in the state of Florida. But in fairness to Holtz, he did speak about ECU with great reverence. After all, he has made his stepping stone into potentially another coach’s destination. In the end, I think Skip himself wraps it up best: “This place was not built on Skip Holtz. It was not built because I’m here. Skip Holtz is not East Carolina University. ECU is about the fanbase and the Pirate Nation,” he said. “Everyone needs to continue to rally and stay together through this entire process. The most proud that I can be is to watch [the team] hold up that three-peat trophy.” Contact the writer at kholtzman@ hendersondispatch.com.
HOLTZ, from page 1B cessful program from the very beginning. There is a solid foundation in place that we will build upon.” Leavitt was dismissed last week after a school investigation concluded he grabbed a player by the throat, slapped him in the face, then lied about it. Holtz was 38-27 in five seasons with East Carolina, including wins in the past two C-USA title games and high-profile victories against Virginia Tech and West Virginia in 2008. “Coach Holtz’s leadership qualities, his character, and his successful head coaching experience are exactly what we were looking for,” USF athletic director Doug Woolard said. Holtz was under contract through the 2013 season and had only a $100,000 buyout. He made $605,000
in base salary this year, though that figure rose to nearly $900,000 due to several incentives. The son of former Notre Dame and South Carolina coach Lou Holtz has been an annual fixture on the list of top candidates for coaching vacancies. He flirted with Cincinnati and Syracuse in recent years, but insisted he wasn’t looking to leave the program he rebuilt from its miserable state earlier this decade. East Carolina had lost 22 of 25 games — 19 by double-digit margins and seven by at least 33 points — when he arrived after the 2004 season. The Pirates steadily rose from there, reaching a bowl game in his second season and winning one the following year.
The consecutive league titles were the first conference crowns for the program since 1976, sending the Pirates to the Liberty Bowl each time. East Carolina was an independent from 1977-96 before joining C-USA. Meanwhile, East Carolina athletic director Terry Holland said a search for Holtz’s replacement will begin immediately. “Skip Holtz and his family have transformed our expectations of ourselves and our athletic program while contributing to every aspect of our community,” Holland said. “They will be missed, but have provided ECU with a solid foundation for future success. It will be up to us to build on that foundation.” South Florida has been
Miller, who also told investigators Leavitt did not hit him, said during a news conference Thursday that he attempted to cover up what happened because he feared it would harm his career and also cost Leavitt his job. The player and his attorney called for a public apology, saying they may consider filing a lawsuit if he doesn’t admit wrongdoing. “We don’t want to play hard ball,” attorney Barry Cohen said. “We can, and we will, to protect the dignity of this young man.” USF athletic director Doug Woolard contacted Holtz last weekend and met with him Tuesday while Holtz was in Orlando for the American Football Coaches Association convention.

Gilbert Arenas charged with felony gun possession By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON — Gilbert Arenas has a court date and an apparent plea deal is in place, signaling a possible quick resolution to at least one side of a gunsin-the-locker-room confrontation that stained the NBA and jeopardized the career of the three-time All-Star. Arenas was charged Thursday with felony gun possession — one count of carrying a pistol without a license — a crime that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The charges were filed in D.C. Superior Court in an “information,” a document that indicates a plea bargain has been reached. The charge came directly from prosecutors and not in the form of an indictment — even though a grand jury has been investigating — and Arenas was listed on the docket for a court appearance Friday afternoon. Arenas has acknowl-
edged storing four unloaded guns in his locker at the Verizon Center, saying he wanted to keep them away from his young children and didn’t know it was a violation of the city’s strict gun laws. He says he took them out of the locker Arenas Dec. 21 in a “misguided effort to play a joke” on a teammate. The criminal charge came on the same day that the teammate, Javaris Crittenton, had his northern Virginia apartment searched by police looking for a silver- or chrome-colored semiautomatic handgun with a black handle. The search warrant indicated police were investigating crimes that include brandishing a weapon. No evidence was seized, according to court documents, and Crittenton has not been charged.
Two league officials have said a spat between Arenas and Crittenton began Dec. 19 while players were playing cards and gambling on the team plane during a flight home from a West Coast road trip. Their dispute became heated when the team reconvened for practice two days later. There have been conflicting published accounts as to whether Crittenton had a gun and whether he drew it on Arenas. Arenas’ lawyer, Crittenton’s lawyer and the NBA had no immediate comment on the criminal charge. Crittenton has previously said he did nothing wrong, and his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said his client was there during the apartment search. “It went as smooth as it could have gone,” Bartelstein said. Even if Arenas avoids a jail sentence, the outcome of the legal process will have profound implications on his future in the NBA and

Detroit’s Valtteri Filppula takes Carolina’s Matt Cullen off the puck as Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard looks on in the first period of Thursday’s game in Detroit.
Miller, Howard lead Wings past Canes, 3-1 DETROIT (AP) — Drew Miller and Jimmy Howard gave the Detroit Red Wings two valuable points in their bid to get back into playoff contention. Drew Miller had a goal and an assist, and Jimmy Howard made 37 saves to help Detroit beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 on Thursday night. Nicklas Lidstrom and Henrik Zetterberg also scored, and Valtteri Filppula had two assists for the Red Wings, who had two power-play goals for the first time in 15 games. “We needed two points,” Zetterberg said. “Especially when we gave away two points on Long Island (a 6-0 loss Tuesday night). We had to come back and play good.” Tom Kostopoulos scored for Carolina, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Cam Ward stopped 32 shots. “We got within one but we weren’t consistent enough,” Hurricanes center Eric Staal said. “We didn’t sustain anything long enough.” The Hurricanes’ franchise hasn’t won a regular-season game in Detroit in over 20 years. The Hartford Whalers beat the Red Wings 3-0 at Joe Louis Arena on Nov. 14, 1989. Lidstrom scored his first goal since Oct. 8 to give Detroit a 1-0 lead with 8:30 left in the first period. It was a powerplay effort as Lidstrom scored on a slap shot from the just inside the blue line in the middle of
the ice. His second goal broke a 42-game scoring drought, the second longest of Lidstrom’s career. “It’s nice to see one finally go in,” Lidstrom said. “I’ve been taking a lot of shots, but they’ve missing the net, got blocked or the goalies have been saving them. I think it was more important that we got it on the power play. We needed some momentum on the power play.” Carolina had the better of the play before Lidstrom’s goal. “Their power play scored a big goal for them and that can deflate you,” Staal said. Miller’s power-play goal 1:34 into the second period made it 2-0. He put in a loose puck from the front of the net for his fifth goal. Miller, who isn’t a regular on the power play, also assisted on Lidstrom’s goal. “I think it was a call by the coach on the bench. I haven’t done practice on the power play,” Miller said. “To get out there, you just adjust to the spots on the ice, get to the front of the net. Luckily the puck went in for us.” Kostopoulos put Carolina on the board 7:17 into the third period when he knocked in the rebound of Brandon Sutter’s long shot, whih bounced off Howard’s mask. Zetterberg made it 3-1 with 5:20 left when he tipped in Todd Bertuzzi’s pass for his 11th goal. “It was a great pass by Bert,” Zetterberg said. “I took the defense around it was just an open net and he hit my stick.”

seven Wizards players and coach Flip Saunders have appeared before a grand jury or been questioned by authorities, leaving the team without enough players to hold a regular practice on some days. Arenas has been told to stay away from team functions during his suspension, and Crittenton, who has not played this season because of a foot injury, has been excused by the team while the legal process plays out. “We are aware of the charge filed against Gilbert Arenas today and will continue to follow the ongoing legal process very carefully,” the Wizards said in a statement. “We will also continue to cooperate fully with the proper authorities and the NBA.” ——— Associated Press Writers Sarah Karush in Washington, Matthew Barakat in Arlington, Va., and AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney in New York contributed to this report.

and void the remainder of the six-year, $111 million deal Arenas signed in summer 2008. The players’ union would almost certainly contest such a move. “We will continue to lend our full support to Gilbert and will assist him in every way possible to see this matter through,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. Arenas has played in only 34 games since signing the contract because of a knee injury and the gunrelated suspension. Arenas was averaging 22.6 points and 7.2 assists this season for the Wizards, who are 12-25 and in last place in the NBA’s Southeast Division. The team has removed nearly all traces of the once-marketable “Agent Zero” from the Verizon Center, including Arenas merchandise with the jersey No. 0 and a huge banner with his photo.

specifically with the Wizards. Possession of a gun at an NBA arena is a violation of the league’s collective bargaining agreement, and last week commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely without pay pending the outcome of the investigation. Stern was particularly upset that Arenas repeatedly joked about the matter with reporters and on Twitter and even pantomimed shooting teammates in a pregame huddle before a game at Philadelphia. Arenas attempted, in public at least, to use a “goof ball” defense, saying he meant no harm and never takes anything seriously. Stern, however, said that Arenas was “not currently fit to take the court” and that the 28-year-old player’s conduct will “ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse.” In addition, the Wizards could attempt to invoke the morals clause found in standard NBA contracts

Today’s answer
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19): You cannot let setbacks stand in the way of your goals. Forward moves are the only route that will lead to better times. Let your intuition guide you and your strong independence help you overcome any pitfalls you’ve encountered. 2 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can raise your profile, improve your status or even make a professional change that will bring you greater recognition and higher income. Focus on work and don’t let location deter you from taking on a challenge that excites you. 5 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep moving in a forward direction. Someone may not like your choices, but if you focus on what’s ahead instead of what’s behind, you can outmaneuver anyone trying to hold you back. Impulsive moves will backfire. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): A burden that you have been dealing with can be lifted if you take proper action. A change will lessen your stress and give you some hope for the future. An interesting proposition will work out better than expected. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional matters will be raised and should probably be dealt with quickly. Money may be behind the problem and some sort of budget will help the situation immensely. Consider a change in your vocation if it helps you earn more. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and do things you enjoy. A serious change at home will help you to move forward with greater freedom. Love is in the stars and plans to do something romantic during the evening hours will pay off. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can make some important decisions and changes that will make your life so much better. Be spontaneous. Social activities will encourage you to go ahead with some of your own plans. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more interaction you have with others, the more confidence you will gain. You can’t waste your time getting angry over past mistakes when the future is where you should be focusing. A change is overdue. 4 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do things right the first time or someone will be quick to criticize you. Connecting with people from your past will help you make some vital decisions about your future and where you want to live and work. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Follow your heart and don’t limit what you can do. You have lots to consider about your past, present and future. Base decisions on what satisfies your needs. Change should be a positive adventure. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t spend money you don’t have. You will be asked to pay back an old debt or receive an unexpected expense. There are a lot of secrets being kept from you. A love connection with someone from your past can help to reunite you with a lot of people you have missed. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make amends for something you have done in the past and you will be able to move forward without feeling bad. Opening up about the way you feel will allow others to respond as well, allowing for new possibilities. 4 stars
